"Some People's Lives" lyrics
"Some People's Lives"
Some people's lives
Run down like clocks
One day they stop
That's all they've got
Some lives wear out
Like old tennis shoes
No one can use
It's sad, but it's true
Didn't anybody tell them?
Didn't anybody see?
Didn't anybody love them
Like you love me?
Some people's eyes
Fade with their dreams
Too tired to rise
Too tired to sleep
Some people laugh
When they need to cry
And they never know why
Didn't anybody tell them
That's not how it has to be?
Didn't anybody love them
Like you love me?
Some people ask
If the tears have to fall
Then why take your chances?
Why bother at all?
And some people's lives
Are as cold as their lips
They just need to be kissed
Doesn't anybody tell them?
Doesn't anybody see?
Doesn't anybody love them
Like you love me?
'Cause that's all they need

When love is gone

Neil Diamond - "Hello Again" Hello again, hello
Just called to say hello
I couldn't sleep at all tonight
And I know it's late
But I couldn't wait

Jackson Browne - "The Load-Out" Now the seats are all empty
Let the roadies take the stage
Pack it up and tear it down
They're the first to come and last to leave
Working for that minimum wage
They'll set it up in another town...
Judy Collins - "Send In The Clowns" Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air..
Where are the clowns?
Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move......
