Sandy

They have played nearly till 4

And now they’ve got their money

They’re sittin’ around by one or two drinks

And talkin´ about this and that.

Suddenly he saw her in that smoky light

She was just hanging around

Maybe she would come along just for the night

And he talked her round,

she really agreed just for the night.

The morning was tepid, the room so bare

She was lying there, feeling empty inside

So, that was it again, like every time,

And she didn’t even know his name.

He would love to see her go now

And instead of talking he lit a cigarette

Something nice for “goodbye” will be found,

He cannot tell that she needs something else.

Maybe we’ll meet again when we play again

“Well, take care, oh, give me your number…”

and he remembers her rummaging in her bag

“well, I’ ll keep the number in mind”

and she left with a smile

And now they’ve played again, the same place,

Sittin’ around by one or two drinks

Talking about this and that,

Listening to the guys in the bar:

“Hey, do you remember Sandy, the blond one?

I’ ve been told she killed herself one night.

Nobody knows why she took the gun…”

‘Crazy’, he thought, getting tired – oh dear,

well, never mind!!!!

A Heartbreak Mornin’

We're living in shadows

With all our secrets

And under a smile

There’s a story to hide.

You said you need a friend

Someone to take you home

Even if it’s just for one night

You’ll be mine, just mine.

Chorus:

But then it’s gonna be a

Heartbrek Mornin’

I knew it right from the start

Nothing but a Heartbreak Mornin’

Another Friday rendevous

In another secret room

We both know it’s wrong

But it’s gone too far and we just can’t let go.

Chorus…….

I know you are leaving soon

I feel it in every move

And it’s hard to understand

This heart will never mend

Chorus:

Cause it’s gonna be a

Heartbreak Mornin’  …..
