Nightwatch

Kenny Loggins Nightwatch Lyrics
1.Angelique

From the time that i wake to the time that i rise, she's a lover
and so am i
But the lady loves her passion more than me
When i'm under her spell, then i know very well, how her magic
can mystify
And the lady leaves her lovers in ecstasy
She's young, but she's wise, and the heaven in her eyes at half
a glance
Is as much as a man can see
But she'll never really love any more than any other lover in
her life
And you'll come to know the devil in angelique
For a moment it seems i'm a part of her dreams
And she loves like she's hypnotized
While she hides inside the man she's made of me
And then just when i've found her, her visions surround her
And i'll never fill her eyes, but i wonder who in hell the young
girl sees
And she moans, and she sighs, and you search inside her eyes
But all you find is a man who can never be
And you wonder if she'll ever discover that the devil could
never set her free
She's young, but she's wise, and the heaven in her eyes at half
a glance
Is as much as any man can see
And you'll never really lose any more than any other lover has
lost in her life
When you've come to know the devil in angelique
And you'll come to know the devil in angelique
And you'll learn to love the devil


2.Down 'n Dirty

Slow talkin', the line you're walkin'
Look like a viper wearin' silkin' stockings
You make 'em guess they'd be gettin' the best
Can't help but wonder if you'd pass the test
Kissin' my fingers, you touch my face
'n play your hand like you're holdin' the ace
But baby when it comes around, are you gonna pick it up or lay
it down
You make it harder and harder to stop what you've started
Chorus:
(down 'n dirty)
Oh my little rosalee, don't you think it's goin' on time we see
If you're gonna come with me, i bet you, i get you
I've had enough of this comin' on stuff
I feel like gettin' down on somethin' tough
I do believe you're what you're tryin' to be
Now show me, honey, 'cause i'm dying to see
Take it baby, make your play, we'll make love in different ways
I call your bluff and stand, pretty mama, hold me in your hand
And make it harder and harder to stop what you've started
Chorus
(instrumental break)
Kissin' my fingers, you touch my face
'n play your hand like you're holdin' the ace
Baby when it comes around, are you gonna pick it up or lay it
down
You make it harder and harder to stop what you've started
Chorus
Rosalee, don't you think it's goin' on time we see
If you're gonna come with me, i'm dirty, down 'n dirty


3.Down In The Boondocks

Ev'ry night i watch the lights from the house upon the hill
I love a little girl who lives up there and i guess i always
will
But i don't dare knock upon her door, 'cause her daddy is my
boss man
So i got to try to be content, to see her whenever i can, goin'
Chorus:
Down in the boondocks, down in the boondocks
People put me down, 'cause that's the side of town i was born in
I love her, she loves me, but i don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
But i need money, honey, give me money, honey
Money, honey, (i need enough) money, honey
I'll take it to the bank, i'll take it all down, just say it to
me, oh man
Chorus
One fine day i'll find a way to move from this old shack
I'll hold my head up like a king and i never will look back
Until that day i'll work and slave, and i'll save every dime
But tonight she'll have to steal away to see me one more time,
goin'
Chorus repeats 2x
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
Mama have mercy on a boy from down in the - ooh
Have mercy baby, a little mercy, hang around all day, take me
Down in the boondocks, da-da-down in the boondocks (repeats out)


4.Easy Driver

Easy driver, she's a wicked rider
She's smooth and she's skinny and she's probably mean
Easy driver, pull up beside her, roll down the window on this
fine machine
Chorus:
(ooh ooh ooh) don't turn away, (ooh ooh ooh) just give me a sign
(ooh ooh ooh) don't be afraid, (ooh ooh) love is so hard to find
Easy driver, get on up beside her, she don't drive like she
knows the way
Easy driver, road's getting wider
There's room to run and she might skate away
Come on back, baby what you say
Chorus
One lane away from love, the story of my life
Could i be good enough for your lonely avenue tonight
It's a lonely avenue tonight
Chorus
Easy driver, she's a wicked rider
She's smooth and she's skinny and she's probably mean
Easy driver, get on up beside her, roll down the window on this
fine machine
Easy driver, oh oh oh oh, easy driver, easy driver, easy driver
(easy driver)
Easy driver, easy driver, easy driver, easy driver


5.Nightwatch

In the night, when a mist of sleep surrounds me
You come to me and hold me tight, winding your body all around
me
And everywhere you touch i feel, that my love for you is much
too real
Oh, it's the same damn thing, wanting you in my dreams
It's the same damn thing, wanting you in my dreams
Sleepwalkin' - i know every move you make, and every word i say
Keep it comin', comin' - comin' on stronger, this time i'm going
all the way
Is this moment just a fantasy, or a vision of what will be
Oh, it's the same damn thing, wanting you in my dreams
Every night the same thing, wanting you in my dreams
(dreams fade away)
I better find you in my days, or i'm losin' you to the nights
It's the same thing - every night
It's the same thing - oh, you're so right
It's the same thing - wanting you
(instrumental break)
And tonight, evening's shadows are sure to find me
On my nightwatch, waiting for the warmth of you beside me
And every second that you're here i feel, this dream is real
And it's the same damn thing, it's the same thing
It's the same damn thing, wanting you in my dreams, dreams


6.Somebody Knows

Out of my head and delighted, somebody knows how i feel
If you ask me to play it, you won't have to say it twice
'cause i'm goin' to the head of the line, i'm takin' my life
away
I'm so glad you made it, and now that you're ready
I'll begin to tell you what you want, but i know
(i feel, i feel) somebody knows, (i feel, i feel) somebody knows
(i feel, i feel) somebody knows, (i feel, i feel)
Somebody knows what you want and what you're tryin' to do
'cause the same thing can happen to you
A little smoke, a little drink, can make somebody start to think
That he knows
(i feel, i feel) somebody knows (i feel, i feel)
Somebody knows what you want, when you want it
(somebody knows) when you're doin' it right
Somebody sees with their feelings, and feels what they're being
tonight
And we're doin' it together, i know
(i feel, i feel) somebody knows, (i feel, i feel) somebody knows
(i feel, i feel) somebody knows, (i feel, i feel) god i know
(i feel, i feel) somebody knows, (i feel) i feel somebody knows
(i feel, i feel) somebody knows, (i feel, i feel)
Got what you want on the run now, keep it on in sight
Make me crazy, and you won't need me to tell you that you're
doin' it right
'cause i know
(i feel, i feel) somebody knows, (i feel) i feel somebody knows
(i feel, i feel) somebody knows (i feel, i feel)


7.Wait A Little While

Here's a sweet september morning, there's the sense of autumn on
the rise
He steps into the wind and sadly sighs
'why does it always seem to be, there's a cold december wind in
front of me?'
The more he fills his empty evenings
The less he feels that there's a chance to find
Something that can bring a peace of mind
Is there a place where you can go?
A little something you should know to turn the tide to your
favor?
Chorus:
Wait a little while to welcome what you're after
Give it the time to find its way to you
And soon as you no longer try, you'll turn and find it standing
by your side
Come and get it, when you let it, it'll come to you
(instrumental break)
Chorus (with 'staring in your eyes')
When i run short on inspiration, i best recall what i've known
all along
'n i remember sweet september's song, there never really has to
be
A cold and bitter wind in front of me anymore
Chorus (with 'staring in your eyes')
Just forget it and wait a little while, while, while
Wait a little while, everything will come to you in time
Wait a little while - everything will come to you in time
Wait a little while - every little thing's gonna come to you in
time
Wait a little while - everything will come to you in time
Wait a little while - everything will come to you in time
Wait a little while


8.What A Fool Believes

He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life
She musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realized
It never really was
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As she rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all keeps sending him ...
Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe
There's a place in her life
Someday, somewhere, she will return
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As she rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
There's nothing at all
But what a fool believes he sees ...


9.Whenever I Call You Friend

Whenever i call you 'friend', i begin to think i understand
Anywhere we are, you and i have always been, ever and ever
I see myself within your eyes, and that's all i need to show me
why
Everything i do always takes me home to you, ever and ever
'n now i know my life has given me more than memories, day by
day, we can see
In every moment there's a reason to carry on
Chorus:
Sweet love's showin' us a heavenly light, never seen such a
beautiful sight
See love glowin' on us every night, i know forever we'll be
doin' it
Chorus... right
Whenever i call you 'friend', i believe i've come to understand
Everywhere we are, you and i were meant to be, forever and ever
I think about the times to come, knowin' i will be the lucky one
And ever our love will last, i always want to call you 'friend'
Chorus
(instrumental break)
An' now i know my life has given me more than memories, day by
day
We can see, in every moment there's a reason to carry on
Chorus repeats 2x - doin' it, doin' it
Sweet love (repeats out)...
(you're the glowin' light in my life, source of pride in my
life)
(everything i do takes me back to you, whenever i call you
friend...
