The Three Of Me I'm Talkin' To You Oh Life (There Must Be More)


The Three Of Me

[Pack/Powell]

There's a voice on the phone

Who just called in to say "Mr. Jones isn't home He'll be gone for the day"

So he pulls down the blind To adjust his disguise

But it's all in his mind Which he proudly denies

I turn the boat back from the weir Where to go from here

I can't hide from each face I see Looking out from behind them is me

I'm attempting to guess What they meant when they said

"Mr. Jones and his guest Won't be using the bed"

So if I take the rap While they stay out of sight

I can spring from the trap When the timing is right

One minute I think I know what I mean

The next I hear voices inside disagree Why are they laughing at me?

So I pick up the phone Someone's asking of me

Is the real Mister Jones Mister One, Two or Three?

So I say that they're not But it's not as I say

'Cos they're all that I've got And I can't get away

As Alice waves us through the glass Are we home at last

For tomorrow they'll be here you see

Locked away safe inside there with me

'Cos tomorrow they'll be here you'll see

Locked away safe inside they're with me

One minute I think I know what I mean The next I hear voices inside disagree

Why are they laughing at me?

I'm Talkin' To You

[PACK/POWELL]

Somehow you fell out of time Boy you lost your place in line

But don't even try To drag me down too

I'm talkin' to you, I'm talkin' to you

One star rises, one falls from the sky

You're still hiding the way you feel inside

One word closer to things we need to say

One cut deeper to tear the past away

You think I don't know your mind But I know fools don't change with time

Until the warning signs Come out of the blue

I'm talkin' to you, I'm talkin' to you

One light's burning - another fades away

Don't stand watching your dream go down in flames

One step closer, the door is open wide

Come tomorrow we'll see the other side

On and on until we change Everything remains the same

On and on until we learn On and on the wheels will turn...

Wounded words and eyes that lie

You won't let your demons die

Take a look inside Or you're gonna lose

I'm talkin' to you, I'm talkin' to you I'm talkin' to you

Whatever you do, the last laugh's on you

On and on until we change Everything remains the same

On and on until we learn On and on the wheels will turn...

Somehow you fell out of time

Boy you lost your place in line...

One star rises one star falls Do you even care at all?

... this time I'm talkin' to you I'm talkin' to you

Oh Life (There Must Be More)

[PACK/PARSONS]

Waves roll out Out to sea Tasting the saltwater Tears upon her cheek

Morning breaks She's not there Who could ever find her? Who would even care?

No one heard No one came No angel of mercy Appears to know her name

Where is hope When words fail All the colours running Inside when life turns pale

In the dock the boats are harboured Where the water's cold and still

Oh life, she cries, I've lost the will

From the bridge she sees a lifetime Being washed upon the shore

Oh life, she cries There must be more...

Tides roll in Waters rise Any chance of reason Only clouds her eyes

Arms of grace She won't feel All the wounds inside her That time can never heal

The city lights shine seaward Swirling in a trance

Her eyes upon the water Alone in her last dance

From the docks the boats are leaving As she cries into the dawn

"Oh life, I'm barely holding on"

And she sees her future falling Til it finds the ocean floor

Oh life, she cries There must be more There must be more

And with the early light She'll sail into the clear

The winds are all behind her The hour's almost here

From the bridge she hears the voices Turn into a roar

Oh life she cries There must be more

On the dock her soul is sinking But her spirit longs to soar

Oh life, she cries There must be more

There must be more There must be more Oh life I'm barely holding on

There must be more There must be more Oh life there must be something more
