John Waite Rover's Return Lyrics
1.These Times Are Hard For Lovers

Lyrics:J.Waite/D.Child
Music:J.Waite/D.Child

Babe I had a dream
Woke up in a sweat
Darkness all around me
I was caught in its net
Tried to reach for you
But you weren't there
It only was a dream
But it put danger in the air

I can feel the nervous rhythm of your heart with mine
Could we ever stay together
Stand the test of time
Baby make me a believer
Cause this world will lie
(Oh these times are hard for lovers)
It's getting harder for you and me
(Oh)
It's hard on me and you

Baby we can make it
Cause our love will pull us through
These times are hard for lovers
It's down to me in you
Nothing's gonna break us
If we hang on to what's true
These times are hard for lovers
I believe in you
These times are hard for lovers
I believe in you

Everywhere you turn
Trouble going on
Living under pressure
Loving under the gun
It's hard enough to live
Draw another breath
Hang on to me baby
Like it's life or death

I can feel the nervous rhythm of your heart with mine
Could we ever stay together
Stand the test of time
Baby make me a believer
Cause this world will lie
(Oh these times are hard for lovers)
It's getting harder for you and me
(Oh)
It's hard on me and you

Baby we can make it
Cause our love will pull us through
These times are hard for lovers
It's down to me in you
Nothing's gonna break us
If we hang on to what's true
These times are hard for lovers
I believe in you
These times are hard for lovers
I believe in you

Can you feel the nervous rhythm of your heart with mine
Could we ever stay together
Stand the test of time
Baby make me a believer
Cause this world will lie
We've got to go the distance
Touch the sky

Baby we can make it
Cause our love will pull us through
These times are hard for lovers
It's down to me in you
Nothing's gonna break us
If we hang on to what's true
These times are hard for lovers
I believe in you
(These times are hard for lovers whoa)
Whoa
(These times are hard for lovers oh yeah)
(These times are hard for lovers whoa)
Whoa
(These times are hard for lovers oh yeah)
I believe in you
(These times are hard for lovers whoa)
When I turn to you
(These times are hard for lovers oh yeah)
Yeah
But I don't believe it
(These times are hard for lovers whoa)
Yeah
(These times are hard for lovers oh yeah)
Whoa
(These times are hard for lovers whoa)
Baby I believe in you
(These times are hard for lovers oh yeah)
Baby I believe in you
(These times are hard for lovers whoa)
Baby I believe in you
(These times are hard for lovers oh yeah)


2.Act of Love

Lyrics:J.Waite
Music:J.Waite

Sometimes I wake up
And I watch you sleep
And in the darkness
I wonder if I'm in too deep
Help-what if it's true

I say the wrong things
Cause I'm just a jealous guy
And I hurt you sometimes
I make you cry
Oh I'm so sorry

You and I fit together hand and glove
What we've got is an act of love
That¹s all

There are good times
And bad times too
You're always there for me
No matter what I do
Don't ever turn away

You're everything I know
You're all I want to see
Feel like a king
When you're standing next to me
And if we disagree don't forget

You and I fit together hand and glove
What we've got is an act of love

Here we go
My love's gigantic as the weather
Our luck can come and go
But as long as we're together
I'm never never gonna wave goodbye

I light a fire
And I lock the doors
I look into your eyes
And I see what I'm looking for
Though sometimes I'm so unsure

You could say I'm out of control
Don't you know what this feels like
What I do-I do everything for you
When I look I look to you
For an act of love

It's all I feel inside
Is just an act of love
The other side of me that hides
Behind an act of love

It's only an act of love
Comin' back on me
Takin' you away
It's only an act of love

Comin' back on me
Comin' back on me
It's only an act of love
Keepin' me wide awake at night
I know it's an act of love
It's only an act of love


3.Encircled

Written:J.Waite/J.Mccurry/J.Reagan

In these days of wild roses
I held a compass in my hand
I had three wishes for a future
That I won't need to understand

And I've got holly green on blood red
Manhattan Christmas on my arm
My soul ain't worth saving
Feels like I've lost my lucky charm

And I've been living in the gutter
I've been loaded like a gun
I've been sliding down the mountain
And it feels like kingdom come
And I'm always fighting windmills
Have to take it as it comes
See I'm
I'm encircled
I am

If you want me tell me
Cause I can't play this game much longer
Feels a lot like oblivion
This feeling just keeps getting stronger

And I've been living in the gutter
Without American Express
Heroes changing horses midstream
I'm detached
I'm second-guessed
Won't you please come back and get me
My whole world is in a mess
See I'm
I'm encircled
This time I am
I'm encircled
In these days of wild roses
I'm encircled
Yeah

And I've been living in the gutter
I've been loaded like a gun
I've been sliding down the mountain
And it feels like kingdom come
And I'm always fighting windmills
Have to take it as it comes
See I'm encircled
This time I am
I'm encircled
I am
In these days of wild roses

I'm encircled
I am
I'm encircled
In these of wild roses
I am
I am
I am
In these days I am
I am
Yeah
I am


4.Woman's Touch

Lyrics:J.Waite
Music:J.Waite

Give me one thing I can believe
Give me one thing I can touch
Taste
Want
Take again
And again
And again

Give me something I can't remember
Forget me not
Give me something over and over
Don't forget
Keep me loved
Give me something I can't ignore
No

Keep me preoccupied
Keep me satisfied
With a woman's touch
Yeah

Hold on baby
Hold on tell you when
Dream baby
Dream again
And again
And again

I want you tonight
Hold on
Hold on
Make this thing right
You know you want it
You know I want it too
Give it all
Come on come through

Give me something to believe in
Give me
Give me a woman's touch
Yeah
Yeah
Oh

It's all I want

I want you
And nobody else will do
I need you
Now
Feels like a honeymoon
Want you so
Take my hand
Don't let go

You know you want it
Yeah
Nothing could ever mean as much
No

Keep me preoccupied
Keep me satisfied
With a woman's touch
Yeah

Keep me happy tonight
Keep me wide awake
Give me a woman's touch
Yeah

Yeah
Make me feel alright
Don't forget


5.Wild One

Lyrics:J.Waite
Music:J.Waite

See you moving through the square
In your motorcycle leather
Diamonds cascade at your feet
In an instant we are forever

See you're a rebel with a cause
No one ever gets close to you

Oh whoa whoa whoa
You're my wild one
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Come on stay my little wild one

Wild one
Yeah

And you've got a crooked smile
That takes that chip right off my shoulder
And though your heart is out of reach
I know that this world will make you colder

So you're escaping down the road
Into an outlaw world that only you know

Oh whoa whoa whoa
You're my wild one
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Come on stay my little wild one

Oh whoa whoa whoa
You can't stay free
You can't stay mine
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Come on stay my little black swan

This town seems small and lonely
And you're the property of no one
Turn again turn around
All roads lead to London town

Wild one
Yeah

Oh whoa whoa whoa
You're my wild one
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Come on stay my little wild one

Oh whoa whoa whoa
You can't stay free
You can't stay mine
Oh whoa whoa whoa

Oh whoa whoa whoa
Yeah
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Yeah
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Yeah
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Yeah
Wild one
Wild one
Yeah
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Yeah
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Yeah
Wild one
Oh whoa whoa whoa


6.Don't Lose Any Sleep

Lyrics:D.Warren
Music:D.Warren

You tell me to be strong
You tell me to be strong
Goodbye ain't no reason to cry
It ain¹t no big deal

You say I'll get along
Sure I'll get along
You're so nonchalant
That it's unreal

Well I thought this love would be all I needed
I thought this love was something to believe in
Now you, you say sorry babe
It didn't work out that way
But don't let that ruin your day

Don't lose any sleep now babe
It's just my heart you¹re breaking
Just my world your taking away
Don't lose any sleep now babe
Don't you worry about me
No don't worry babe
I'll be alright

Whoa yeah

Don't act so concerned
No don't be concerned
Don't know how much more
Of your kindness that I can bear
Guess I had to learn
I just had to learn
That after all this
You just don't care

But don't let that worry your mind now
I'll be OK
Baby I'll be fine now
It's just I'm watching my world walking away

Don't lose any sleep now babe
It's just my heart you're breaking
Just my world your taking away
Don't lose any sleep now babe
Don't you worry about me
No don't worry babe
I'll be alright

Whoa whoa

Oh

Whoa no no no no no no

Don't lose any sleep now
It's just my heart you're breaking
Just my world you're taking away
Don't lose any sleep now babe
Don't you worry about me
No don't worry babe

Don't lose any sleep now
Just my heart you're breaking
Just my world you're taking away
Don't lose any sleep now babe
Don't you worry about me
No don't worry baby

It's just my heart you're breaking

Don't lose any sleep now baby


7.Sometimes

Lyrics:J.Waite/D.Child
Music:J.Waite/D.Child

I remember when you whispered low
I will go with you wherever you go
Then I went and found someone new
No one ever made me feel the way that you do

Sometimes you don't know
When to hold on or when to let go
Sometimes you don't know
Sometimes

Then I came home one day
Your best friend told me you'd gone away
Had enough of my wild mispent youth
Now the tears in my eyes are the only truth

Sometimes you don't know
When to hold on or when to let go
Sometimes you don't know

Sometimes you don't know
When to hold on or when to let go
Sometimes you don't know
Hey

Hey Mister D.J.
I don't need no sympathy
I made my choice
And when it all comes down
It all comes down on me

Now if I gotta take this thing
With my back against the wall
Won't you play me some Chuck Jackson
And watch those blue shadows fall
I'm free but I am alone

Sometimes you don't know
When to hold on or when to let go
Sometimes you don't know

Sometimes you don't know
When to hold on or when to let go
Sometimes
Sometimes
You better let go

Oh whoa oh
Yeah
Oh whoa oh
Yeah
Oh whoa oh
Oh whoa oh
Oh whoa oh
Oh whoa oh
Oh whoa oh


8.She's the One

Lyrics:J.Waite/I.Kral
Music:J.Waite/I.Kral

She's got everything I want
Got my world in a tight black dress
Keeps me on my feet and walking
Keeps my heart alive

I look up at the moon
To see her looking down on me
And it's a magic carpet ride
To a place that fate decides

And everytime we go around the world
We feel like we're millionaires
We get what we want
We know who we are
And these days we just don't care

She's the one
She's the one in my heart
She's the one
And we are never apart
Oh

It's got me on my knees
The sun is burning through our sky
Like quicksilver in my mind
Every time she fills my eyes

My world's a pinball in a groove
And we're shooting for the highest score
My reason is desire
That this key could fit the door

We go around the world
We feel like we're millionaires
We get what we want
We know who we are
And these days we just don't care

She's the one
She's the one in my heart
She's the one
And we are never apart
She's the one
Queen of hearts
For a jack of spades
I'm the one
She could never betray
No

She's all I wanna see
Got my world inside her dress
Cut me to ribbons
Leaves me down
Love's life voids the rest
I'm still looking at the moon
And she's gazing down on me
Take me anywhere you want
It's all the same to me

Everytime we go around the world
We feel like we're millionaires
We know who we are
We get what we want
And these days we just don't care

She's the one
She's the one in my heart
She's the one
And we are never apart
She's the one
Queen of hearts
For a jack of spades
And I'm the one
That she could never betray

She's the one
She's the one
She's the one
She's the one


9.Big Time For Love

Lyrics:J.Waite/R.Nowels
Music:J.Waite/R.Nowels

These days I feel I'm fightin'
Everything in sight
I'm fighting for my freedom
For my life

Some bigshot with the money
Puts my back against the wall
The red brick's waiting
For another bullet hole

There's a blitzkreig on the border
It's a sexual pleasure/pain
I'm staring down an empty glass
Til the violence starts again

It's the big time for love
It's the big time
It's the right time for love
It's the big time for your love

The queen is in the palace
But my sister's in the rain
Neon girls and gunshots
Tickin' through my brain

They give you some detection
Bread and circus in your bed
A calculated showdown
It's very graphic bloodshed

Better put your house in order
There's a fireball in the sky
Kiss the wife and kids so long
Kiss your ass goodbye

It's the big time for love
It's the big time
It's the right time for love
It's the big time for love
This time it is
It's the big time
It's the right time for love
It's the big time for your love

We feel overdue
Cause we know what it feels like
There's no more
No white flag
And communication too

It's the big time for love
It's the right time
It's the time for love
It's the big time for love
This time it is
It's the big time
It's the right time for love
Call a truce or forget it
Big time for love
