"Perfect Stranger" lyrics
"Perfect Stranger"
If someone could only talk to me
And show me the way through sorrow
And make me the man I'm supposed to be
I could see clear tomorrow
And there she is
There she is
I search for the same things every day
Somebody's got my answers
And someone could calm this curse away
Down with the moonlight dancers
Well, there she is
Your perfect stranger
In her eyes
You see your future
She's the one
Your nights are long for
Go on and tell her so
And then you'll know
She knows, she knows, she's wonderful
Lifeline glances and steamboat chances
She knows that much
Small town traces and strange new places
She shows that much...
If someone could just get close to me
Someone the stars appear for
And show me the things I'm 'sposed to see
And all of the dreams I'm here for
Well, there she is
Your perfect stranger
In her eyes
You see your future
She's the one
Your nights are long for
Go on and tell her so
And then you'll know
She knows, she knows, she's wonderful
There she is
Your perfect stranger
In her eyes
You see your future
She's the one
Your nights are long for
Go on and tell her so
And then you'll know
She knows, she knows, she's wonderful
There she is
There she is
There she is
Your perfect stranger
(Ah... perfect stranger)
There she is
Your perfect stranger
(Ah... perfect stranger)
There she is
Your perfect stranger
(Ah... perfect stranger)
There she is
Your perfect stranger

Marc Cohn - "Olana" They say my final masterpiece
Was this house upon the hill
High above the great and mighty river
My hand could not hold the brushes
Yes I guess I lost my will
And you can't keep painting paradise...
John Hiatt - "Lipstick Sunset" There's a lipstick sunset
Smeared across the August sky
There's a bitter sweet perfume
Hanging in the fields
The creek is running high
And I left my lover waiting
In the dawn somewhere to wonder...
The Little Willies - "Roll On" Like an old machine
Sputtering along
Wheels don't turn as fast as they used to
Sometimes you take a right
Find out that it's wrong
Don't know the difference in a way
It ain't for now and then...
Rickie Lee Jones - "The Last Chance Texaco" A long stretch of headlights
Bends into I-9
Tiptoe into truck stops
And sleepy diesel eyes
Volcanoes rumble in the taxi
And glow in the dark
Camels in the driver's seat
A slow, easy mark
But you ran...
James Taylor - "Baby Buffalo" Are you there? Can you hear me? Somewhere near me?
In the morning, long ago, had to hold you so close, had to never let go.
Time on the river sliding on by. Hard to believe, wink of an eye.
Where'd...
