Essence Of Melissa Manchester lyrics

Whatever it is, it'll keep till the morning
Haven't we both got better things to do?
Midnight blue
Even the simple things become rough
Haven't we had enough?

And I think we can make it
One more time
If we try
One more time for all the old times

For all of the times you told me you need me
Needing me now is something I could use
Midnight blue

I know it's late to call
I don't blame you if you're angry
But there are things
That only old lovers understand

I remember rainy nights like this
When we'd go to bed real early
(And) try to catch each other's dreams
And wake up holding hands

We'd light a fire in the morning
And keep it burning strong
Outside it could be storming
But we never felt so warm

Baby cried the day the circus came to town,
'Cause she didn't want parades just passing by her.
So she painted on a smile and then took up with some clown,
While she danced without a net upon the wire.
I know a lot about her, 'cause you see,
Baby, is an awful lot like me.

Don't cry out loud,
Just keep it inside,
And learn how to hide your feelings.
Fly high and proud.

A bunch of weary voices
I mistook for angels
Telling me what to do with my life
Leaving me no choices
Putting me through changes
Telling me what to do with my life

Oh
I'm sure I won't be back for more
Oh
I am in search of you
My caravan

I will bring my red beads
You will bring what you need
Riding through this journey
On this night

Time to free the gypsy

Well, hello there
Good old friend of mine
You've been reaching for yourself
For such a long time
There's so much to say
No need to explain
Just an open door for you
To come in from the rain

It's a long road
When you're all alone
And someone like you
Will always take the long way home
There's no right or wrong
I'm not here to blame
I just want to be the one
