Never again, isn't that what you said?
You've been through this before
An' you swore this time you'd think with your head
No one, would ever have you again
And if takin' was gonna get done
You'd decide where and when
Just when you think you got it down
Your heart securely tied and bound
They whisper, Promises In The Dark
Armed and ready, you fought love battles in the night
But too many opponents made you weary of the fight
Blinded by passion, you foolishly let someone in
All the warnings went off in your head
Still you had to give in
Just when

I'm checking out of Hotel Loneliness
All my lonely days, they're all through
I'm checking into Hotel Happiness (oh, yeah)
Because, darlin', I found you
I left my teardrops in that old lonely room
Left my broken heart (my heart) back there, too
(Yeah, yeah , yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I won't be needin' them in Hotel Happiness (oh, yeah)

How many roads must a man walk down

The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many times maust a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes 'n' how many ears must one man have
Befor ehe can hear people cry?
Yes 'n' how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is

So many words are spoken
Round and round and round and round
So many confidences broken in this town
Too many cigarettes, I don't want to feel like this anymore
I go running, running in the rain
The television programmes
Go round and round and round and round
Oh God, I wish you were still here
Oh yes, I'm sorry for what I said
I love you, but I still wish you were dead
Now I'm running, running in the rain
So much time for thinking
Round and round and round and round
The boys all go drinking just to shut it out
Out here in the storm
You kno
