Following the River

My cards are on the table
but the drinks have all run out
There's been some other lads in this room with me
we're really quite a crowd
It's hard to break it gently
but I really thought it through
I don't think there's much future left
for me and you me and you

You'll probably forget me
and I'll fade back in the bar
Just a face disappearing without trace
I'll be lost I'll be lost

One day I'll hear some laughter in a out-of-town cafe
I'll be reaching for your number
I'll be calling out your name
calling out your name

I've been following that river
gonna join hands with the sea
I've been thinking of ya all the time
Cause you always brought the best in me
I'll be following the river - oh my!
Till it spills out in the sea

When I first think about ya oh dear
Cause you always brought the best in me
(always brought the best in me)
I'll be following the river (yeah!)
Gonna join hands with the sea

Ah if I can't have ya
I'll be dreaming all about ya
Cause you always brought the best in me
I'll be following the river
gonna join hands with the sea

I'll be thinking about ya
cause you always brought the best in me

Party Doll

You used to be my party doll
But now you want to live in clover
You used to be my number one
But now those salad days are over

Times change but fascination stays
Love wins but the passion just fades
I'll drink to the dancing days
I'll drink to your crazy ways
Through the whiskey haze

Face the music, face the truth
Chase that fleet sweet bird of youth
Grow up sweetly, grow up strong
Hear the heartbeat, in my song

Love's pain, I ain't buying
Love's strange. I keep trying, trying, trying
