I've been away from home
More than I care to remember
Kept your memory alive
Those days of last September

Those days are gone
The nights are long
And you will never really fade away
But come tomorrow,to have you back
I'd sell my yesterdays

And I shed a tear
When I think about last September morning
Don't wanna cry myself to sleep
I don't wanna cry myself to sleep

Lazy shining sun
It was another morning after
I slowly crawl out of bed
Reach for the whiskey
But the bottle was empty again

So I shed a tear
When I think about last September morning
Don't wanna cry myself to sleep
I don't wanna cry myself to sleep

Yeah I shed a tear
But I don't wanna cry no more, baby
When I think about last September
Think about last September

Stepped off the bus
You were an innocent little girl
You can't try baby
But you can't change the world

Got your cigarettes burning your fingers
Waking you from your sleep
Daddy said he would be there
To sweep you off your feet

Shine on me now
I can see an angel who lost her place
Won't you shine on me now
Another fallen angel
Lord help me now 'cause I need the strength
I could use a helping hand
Won't you shine on me

Here comes the rain
It's the cold, cold winter again
Who will you lie with
When you've turned on all your friends

Now you don't care no more
If the flame burns out in you
You sold your heart,your soul
All in vain, and I know, I know
How it feels

Life on the streets
See the dark side of the world
Walkin' the beat, nothin' to eat
Brother, won't you lay your money down!

Angie
Look what you've done to me
You left me standing here alone
With a memory

And maybe
I was too blind to see
That you were the best thing
That happened to me

But if loving you means letting go
Then I'll just turn and walk away
Babe,I wish I could

Turn back the hands of time
Somehow change your mind
All I need is one more try
Angie I wish that you were mine

I lie awake
I can't sleep at night
Wondering where you are
And who's holding you

Bright lights
Down on the streets below
Remind me of the fun we had
The places we used to go

But if loving you means letting go
Well I'll just turn and walk away
But I'll never walk away
I wish I could

Turn back the hands of time
Somehow change your mind
If I could just hold you
One more time
I wanna hold you
One more time
Angie I wish that you were mine
I wish that you were mine

Spinning wheels keep turning backwards
It's so hard to hold your faith
All we do for the children
All we're givin we're takin' away

As sure as I'm gettin' older
Father time keeps ticking by
Mother's getting colder
And if we don't change our ways
We'll cross the line, now it's time
Someone tell me why

We're going round and round
Will we ever live and learn
Just like a wheel that keeps on turning
We're going round and round
Will we ever live and learn
Will we ever live and learn

So you say that you're my brother
Comin' 'round,sleepin' in my bed
Why are you talkin' 'bout my mother
Got a big old mouth, nothing in your head
