Song lyrics

[edit]
See the man,
see the head of silver grey,
see the lines crossed.
See the man,
see the chances tossed away,
see the time lost.

Willie and the Lapdog (1973)

  • See the man,
    see the head of silver grey,
    see the lines crossed.
    See the man,
    see the chances tossed away,
    see the time lost.

Breakaway (1976)

[edit]
I watch the distant lights go down the runway,
disappear into the evening sky.
Oh you know I'm with you on your journey
never could say goodbye.
Stay young, keep your wheels in motion
You've got everything that you need
Stay young with your rock n' rollin'
All the best things in life are free
I wanna stay with you
for the rest of my life
I wanna live with you
for the rest of my life
Fifteen summers, and you're trying to tell me
just how lonely this world can be
Fifteen summers, you say you're the only
one who's had good love go badly
And I can't tell you how these things happen
All you can do is pray for love and let it be
  • I watch the distant lights go down the runway,
    disappear into the evening sky.
    Oh you know I'm with you on your journey
    never could say goodbye.
    And you awaken in another country,
    greet the morning under foreign skies
    leaving me to face another Monday.
    It's not easy to get by.
    It's not the place you're going to,
    it's just a phase you're going through.
    Though I won't stop you, I don't want you to
    breakaway
  • Stay young, keep your wheels in motion
    You've got everything that you need
    Stay young with your rock n' rollin'
    All the best things in life are free
  • When I gave my loving to you
    it meant little to me
    Somehow somewhere you changed my point of view.
    Good times, bad times, happy or sad,
    being in love is better than being out.
    I might have had my doubts
    but nothing to write home about.
    I wanna stay with you
    for the rest of my life
    I wanna live with you
    for the rest of my life
    I wanna stay with you
    for the rest of my life
  • Fifteen summers, and you're trying to tell me
    just how lonely this world can be
    Fifteen summers, you say you're the only
    one who's had good love go badly
    And I can't tell you how these things happen
    All you can do is pray for love and let it be
    Fifteen summers, already you're a woman
    or let's just say you could have fooled me
    There's nothing missing, your heart strings just need tuning
    but you can't wait, you want to play the whole recital right away
    And I can't tell you how these things happen
    You give your heart, hoping that someone else
    gives you love in return
  • I got a storm in my soul
    A storm in my soul
    Silver tongues can't take away
    the storm in my soul
