Steve Winwood lyrics

When a western man loses his best friend many days are spent in years
And without belief he knows his empty grief is a name for his own fears
Oh, the eyes are still. Oh, but even sleeping

My dearest friend till we meet again and ever, we'll be blowing
Maybe weep awhile for those below; until then I'll keep on going
But oh, the heart, the hurt keeps on keepin' on, on and on

Every day there's something new that's going around
Crazy people getting all dressed up to paint the town
Business men they shake their heads and then they frown
Everybody tries so hard to put them down

It seems to me that maybe they got something going
And if you don't make an effort, then you got no way to know
Time is running out

Woman, can you hear me clear?
I hope that you can

Take me away beyond the night
Take me away before the day
Happens nowhere else but here
Where can I go
Except for the show?
And sometime from now -and it won't be long
I'm gonna stay in my home country
And you see it, can you see it?

Let me tell you' bout someone I knew
Communicated but he didn't know how
Telepathy
Met a lady but he didn't know who
Midland maniac

Some people get lonely, while some people get blue
But nobody can tell you just what you should do
Somebody is laughing while somebody is crying
While one child is born, there's somebody dying

You hold the key in the palm of your hand, my love
And it seems to me
There ain't no [special crime? sense in crying?] in heaven above

There's something about you, I don't know what you got

Sometimes it's hard to express what you feel
While trying to say the things that are real
I don't wanna fight for fighting just brings pain
Just wanna hold you in my loving arms again

Let me see the sunrise shining in your eyes
Taste the winds and feel blue skies
I've heard all I can tell all your troubles and strife
Let me make something Let me make something in your life

Hold on to me when you're falling
when you're falling down to the ground
Hold on to me when you feel like
When you feel like you can't go on

Don't be afraid I'll never refuse you
playing with a broken heart that's lame again
Don't be ashamed to reach out and take my helping hand
it's so easy to be, to be free,
all you got to do is
hold on to me when you're falling

Hear the night music playing?
Don't you know what it's saying?
We should feel it together
For forever

Feel the beat and just hold on
To the sweet midnight flowing
Feel the music inside you
I'll be there too

Now's the time our dreams are finally coming true
Feels so good we're crying
Now's the time when it's down to me and you
Spread these wings - we'll be flying
