We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy Joel
Hello darkness my old friend
I've come to talk to you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seed while i was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains within the sound of silence
In restless dreams i walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night, and touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light i saw
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared disturb the sound of silence
"Fools" said i, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that i might teach you
Take my arms that i might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the signs said the words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls
and whisper'd in the sounds, of silence

When you're feeling weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, i will dry them all
I'm on your side. and when times get rough
And friends just cant be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water, i will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water, i will lay me down
When you're down and out, when you're on the street
When evening falls, so hard i will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes, and pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water, i will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water, i will lay me down
Sail on silvergirl. Sail on by
Your time has come to shine. All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine?
If you need a friend, i'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water, i will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water, i will ease your mind

The skies were pure and the fields were green And the sun was brighter than its ever been
When i grew up with my best friend kenny we were as any brothers that you've ever knew
It was always summer and the future called We were ready for adventures and we wanted them all
There was so much left to dream, so much time to make it real
But i can still recall the sting of all the tears when he was gone
They say he crashed and burned I know i'll never know why anyboy should die so young
We were racing we were soldiers of fortune We got in trouble but we sure got around
There are times i think i see him peeling out of the dark
I think he's right behind me now and he's gaining ground
But it was long ago and it was far away oh god it seems so very far
And if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
And when the sun descended and the night arouse I heard my father cursing everyone he knows
He was dangerous and drunken and defeated and corroded by failure and envy and hate
There were endless winters and the dreams would freeze No where to hide and no leaves on the trees
And my father's eyes were blank as he hit me again and again and again
I know i still believe he'd never let me leave, i had to run away alone
So many threats and fears so many wasted years before my life became my own!
And though the nightmares should be over, some of the terrors are still intact!
I'll hear that ugly coarse and violent voice and then he grabs me from behind and then he pulls me back
But it was long ago and it was far away oh god it seems so very far
And if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
There was a beauty living on the edge of town She always put the top up and the hammer down
And she taught me everything i'll ever know About the mystery and the muscle of love
Stars would glimmer and the moon would glow I was in the backseat with my julie like a romeo
And the signs along the highway all read "caution! kids at play"
Those were the rites of spring we did everything There was salvation every night
We got our dreams reborn and upholestry torn but everything we tried was right!!
She used her body just like a bandage, she used my body just like a wound
I'll probably never know where she disappeared, but i can see her rising up out of the backseat now
Like an angel rising up from a tomb
But it was long ago and it was far away oh god it seems so very far
And if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are....
She used her body just like a bandage, she used my body just like a wound
I'll probably never know where she disappeared, but i can see her rising up out of the backseat now
like an angel rising up from a tomb

The waves are pounding on the sand tonight i wanna take your hand and make it feel so right
I know i'm ready and i'll never be like this again
And the sky is trembling and the moon is pale we're on the edge of forever and we're never gonna fail
I know you're ready and we're running on the back of the wind
And my body is burning like a naked wire i wanna turn on the juice i wanna fall in the fire
I'm gonna drown in the ocean in a bottomless sea
I'm gonna give ya what i'm hoping you'll be giving to me
And when the waves are poundin' on the sand tonight i wanna take your hand and make it good make it right
And now the sky is trembling on the moon is pale we're on the edge of forever and we're never gonna fail

Not a dry eye in the house after love's curtain comes down
Listen and you'll hear the sound, hear the sound of a heart breaking
I can still see you standing there, midnite wind blowing thru your hair remember?
Kisses sweet in the salty air when love was forever
Turn the page and we fade to blue scene has changed now i'm without you
Well you just walked away when the act was thru and the dream was over
It was almost like a movie, the way you said goodbye, you must've spent a lot of time
Rehearsing each and every line
Now there's not a dry eye in the house after love's curtain comes down
Listen and you'll hear the sound, hear the sound of a heart breaking, breaking
Not a smile left on my face, the endings just too sad too take
And there's not a dry eye, not a dry eye in the house
The greatest story was you and me, we had it all we had everything
But now the story's done its just history the last act is over
Your everyline had the sweetest sound your every touch turned my world around
But then the light came up and my world crashed down
End of show it's over
It was almost like a movie the night we touched the stars
Time stood still for you and I now it's sad enough to make you cry
And there's not a dry eye in the house after love's curtain comes down
Listen and you'll hear the sound hear the sound of a heart breaking breaking
Not a smile left on my face the ending's just too sad to take
And there's not a dry eye, not a dry eye in the house
Act one - the story's just begun
Act two - i fell in love with you
Act three - knew it was meant to be
Act four - you dont love me no more
And there's not a dry eye in the house after love's curtain comes down
Listen and you'll hear the sound hear the sound of a heart breaking breaking
Not a smile left on my face the ending's just too sad to take
And there's not a dry eye not a dry eye not a dry eye in the house
After love's curtain comes down listen and you'll hear the sound hear the sound
Hear the sound of a heart breaking breaking
Not a dry eye in the house
Not a dry eye in the house
Not a dry eye in the house
