Hold back the night
I wonder what she´s doing when she´s not in sight
I wonder where she´s going who she holds tonight
I wonder if she´s sleeping alone

And hold back the pain
I cover up the teardrops in the pouring rain
My heart has been run over by a runaway train
I wonder if she´s ever alone
Let it go!
Let it go!
Let it go!

Her love spins like a merry-go-round
Going up and down, she´s far away bound
Her love - expression of vision and sound
It´s setting me up, and then it´s kicking me down

Don´t fade to grey
I wonder if she´s ever coming back to stay
She´s running on the edge
She hit the harder way
I wonder if she´s only a dream

So hold back the night
I wonder what she´s doing when she´s not in sight
I wonder where she´s going who she holds tonight
I wonder if she´s lost in a dream
Let it go!
Let it go!
Let it go!

Her love spins like a merry-go-round
Going up and down, she´s far away bound
Her love - expression of vision and sound
It´s setting me up, and then it´s kicking me down

Her love spins like a merry-go-round
Going up and down, she´s far away bound
Her love - expression of vision and sound
It´s setting me up, and then it´s kicking me down

Hold back the night
Hold back the night

Is this what you want
Every finger points at me
This might be funny
If it wasn´t such a tragedy
After a while
It gets harder to smile
And pretend that things are OK

So when you need me in the middle of the night
I won´t be there cos you´re
Always breaking my heart
You´re always breaking my heart
You always tear it apart
Yeah oh yeah

So cross yourself now
Get down on your knees and pray
But no powers from heaven
Could ever take the darkness away
I´ve tried climbing the walls
But you´ve built them too tall
So it´s time I walk away now (walk away now)

And when you call me in the middle of the night (of the night)
There´s no one there cos you´re
Always breaking my heart
You´re always breaking my heart
You always tear it apart
Yeah yeah yeah

Reach out a hand to hold
Ain´t it sad when the distance grows
Two hearts cling to their fates
Remember that first embrace
But I can´t worry anymore

When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody´s help in any way
But now those days are gone I´m not so self-assured
Now I find I´ve changed my mind, I´ve opened up the door

Help me if you can I´m feeling down
And I do appreciate you being ´round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won´t you please please help me

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seemed to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
I know that I just need you like I´ve never done before

Help me if you can I´m feeling down
And I do appreciate you being ´round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won´t you please please help me

When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody´s help in any way
But now those days are gone I´m not so self-assured
Now I find I´ve changed my mind, I´ve opened up the door

Help me if you can I´m feeling down
And I do appreciate you being ´round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won´t you please please help me

Help me, help me, oo...

You were born with one story in mind
One story town
When Mondays, Mondays all the time
But you never slept, my baby, you have talked
Your peppermint flashed in the night
You always made the wrong words sound alright

I love your myth
I love what they say about you, yeah
I love all the things
All the things that you do
The talk of town
The stories of you
Green tangerine
Baby, I love your myth

I got this urge coming on strong
Oh I want to take you home
I´ve got to
I´ve got to take you home
I´m feeling like a monkey hanging in the tree
I love when you pay attention to me
I want to read your steamy poetry

I love your myth
I love what they say about you, yeah
I love every little thing
Every little thing that you do
The talk of town
The stories about you
Green tangerine
Baby, I love your myth

I got this urge coming on strong
Oh I want to take you home
I´ve got to take you
I´ve got to
I got this urge coming on strong
Oh I want to take you home tonight
I´ve got to take you home
Oh baby, I love your myth

I love your myth
I love what they say about you, yeah
Green tangerine
Baby, I love you
I love your myth
I love what they say about you, yeah
I love all the things
All the things that you do
The talk of town
The stories of you
Green tangerine
Baby, I love you

The sun is out
The stars are bright
So let´s hang out
It´s a beatiful night
Let´s go to the park
That´s nice and green
Before it´s getting dark
You are the best I´ve ever seen
The clouds are slowly growing
Our love is slowly growing into a new new world

Oh baby, you´re my new world
It´s a new world
Oh, you´re my new world
Oh baby, you´re my new world

Now I´m sure
It´s not like before
I´ve got everything new
All I want is you
The night is late
I just can´t wait
Oh, please follow me
You´re the best I´ve ever seen
The clouds are slowly growing
Our love is slowly growing into a new new world

Oh baby, you´re my new world
It´s a new world
Oh, you´re my new world
Oh baby, you´re my new world

Bye bye
Bye bye
Bye bye

There you stand in the hallway
Waiting for nothing
No crying no more
I look down on my shoes
And feel like a fool
Please, please hold my hand

You´re all I ever wanted
Like an angel you came across the sky
You´re all I ever wanted
And now you´re telling me goodbye
Bye bye

What do you want?
A broken heart
And all my sorrow
We can change the way
I just want your love to stay
No lying no lying no more

You´re all I ever wanted
Like an angel you came across the sky
You´re all I ever wanted
And now you´re telling me goodbye
