Cool Touch lyrics

Writers: Leo Sayer & Alan Tarney

restless as the ocean -- stumbling in the dark
blinded by emotion -- wishing on a star
yeah I was yours from the start
and no stranger could tear us apart
let me in to your heart tonight

when I'm beside you I see the child
in you tonight
I see a wild youth inside of you
burning so bright

let my love create the spark

Writers: Leo Sayer & Alan Tarney

somebody get a fireman
somebody come along and hose me down
I think I'm going crazy
she got me dancin' like a clown
the d.j. plays desire
(catch a fire)
wanna take you higher
(liar liar)
this gun's for hire
she's gonna burn my playhouse down

she said her name was venus
I think she came out of the nile

Writers: Leo Sayer & Alan Tarney

hanging out with the nighttime clientele
place your ladder for the social climb
same old routine that you know so well
another opening and another line
it's the cool touch
yeah the cool touch

call your lover on the mobile phone
c'mon over we'll have some fun
leave a message sayin' there's no one home
I guess the good times just begun

Writers: Leo Sayer & Alan Tarney

no crying no sighing I'm going home
I'm leaving no grieving I'm going home
and there's no one here
and there's nothing here gonna turn me around
been a lifetime here full of doubt and fear
been the talk of the town

I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home

I'm smiling I'm flying I'm going home

Writers: Leo Sayer & Alan Tarney

nowadays they want a soldier fighter
not a preacher writer or a mystery man
somebody told me that the future's brighter
make tomorrow lighter put it in your hands

but I don't wanna cry anymore
try anymore -- die anymore

heaven knows I'm impatient
I can't control these hands of fate
heaven knows I'm still waiting

Writers: Leo Sayer & Alan Tarney

the first time I met you
I knew that I was gonna fall
you took me you shook me
you put me higher on the wall

but I love it you're my favorite
won't change it for anything at all
I can't do I won't do won't undo
anything at all 'bout you

your walk and your look and
your smile and little things you do
promises of kisses you wish is

To tell the truth it's really such a sad affairstanding here waiting in the cold night airbut I've got to make this call'cause my heart is breaking.
I hear the bips drop a coin in the slothas it been that longI thought you'd forgotten mewell I know that it's getting latebut I just couldn't wait
will I have the nerve to sayI just wanna come backyou shouldn't just go awayI just wanna come back

Writers: Leo Sayer & Alan Tarney

rely on me
devil take tomorrow
take these blues away
too much pain and sorrow
all our yesterdays

there's a world a waiting
where you reap just what you sow
no good contemplating
so come with me and watch it grow

rely on me
rely on me
rely on me
I will set you free
I'll break down the walls and set you free

have you seen the old menthat lean on the wallsof salvation hallsin the streets of your town
you can't have missedthe vagranthe is the rubblehe is the trouble you want to remove
in the parks about sundownhe makes his bedhis shoes are a pillow for his head
have you seen the young menthat look so oldthey'd rather have the cold dark lonely road

you win -- I losethat's how it all beginswell I try so hard in these affairs of the heartbut I know that I'll never win
well I talk to you sweet like honeydon't I treat you as nice as piebut I can't figure out when you scream and you shoutwhy I have to apologize
you win -- I losethat's how it always goesI came into this thing with my heart in a spinI went out with a broken nose
