Walker Brothers Ultimate Collection Lyrics
1.Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore

Loneliness is the cloak you wear
A deep shade of blue is always there
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your ey-eyes
When you're without love...ba-a-a-a-by

Emptiness is the place you're in
Nothin' to lose but no more to win
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your ey-eyes
When you're without love

Lonely, without you, baby
Girl, I need you
I can't go o-o-o-o-on

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
(The sun ain't gonna shine anymore)
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
(The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky)
The tears are always clouding your eyes
(The tears are always clouding your eyes)
(Sun ain't gonna shine anymore)
When you're without love...ba-a-a-a-by


The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore

continue and FADE to end

3.After The Lights Go Out

As the sun goes down
My silent little room is growing dim
And the man next door
Is saying what a lousy day it's been
And the clock on th wall
I'd like to put its ticking to an end
In the room below
The girl is crying for her guy again

After the lights go out
What will I do?
After the lights go out
Facing the night without you

There's a pidgeon that's
Been sittin' on my window-sill all day
I guess he's lonely too
I wonder if his love has flown away
When I get upon my feet
I need a cup of coffee anyway
Someone called for you
But I hung up the 'phone - what could I say?

After the lights go out
What will I do?
After the lights go out
Facing the night without you

I don't look for her
I find her in the shadow of my mind
For she's just a girl
Who's memory will be wiped away with time
Any second now
The lamp down the street will show its light
And I just can't seem
To tear away her kisses from the night

After the lights go out
What will I do?
After the lights go out
Facing the night without you

Facing the night without you
Facing the night without you
Facing the night without you
Facing the night without you...


4.The Girl I Lost In The Rain

Last night I walked through town,
the rain was tumbling down and I could hardly see.
I just lost my heart,
I gave it from the star she made a fool of me.

Now and then a light, filled the misty night.
Though my heart was filled pain,
that's when I first saw the girl I lost in the rain.

You were standing there, with raindrops in your hair.
Your smiling face aglow, it gave me such a thrill,
it burns within me still, I know.

I never heard a sound but when I turned around
you suddenly were gone.
I know should forget, I tell myself and yet,
your memory lingers on.

Even if I tried, searching far and wide, all would be in vain,
for I could never find the girl I lost in the rain.
I could never find, the girl I lost in the rain.


5.I Need You

Since the day I lost you girl
I just can't face the world
I can't help feeling kinda small
I let you go one day
but now I ain't ashamed to say
I need you
you know that I need you
for without your love I'm just no good at all

I guess I lost my head
I know I must have said
a lot of things to make you cry
I made myself a lonely man
but now I've come to understand
I need you
you know that I need you
and I'm gonna keep needing you till the day I die

I need you to confide
Yes I do
I need you to take pride in
Yes I do
I need your shoulder to cry on
You're all I got to rely on

Baby bay take me back again
'cos now I've come to understand
I need you
you know that I need you
and I'm gonna keep needing you till the day I die


6.Love Her

Love her, and tell her each day
That girl needs to know, tell her so
Tell her everything I couldn't say
Like she's warm, and she's sweet, and she's fine

Whoah, love her
Like I should have done

And hold her, and show her you care
When her world is blue, see her through
Any time that she needs you, be there
By her side, be the guy, that I couldn't be

And love her
Like I should have done

Please, love her
Love her for me

Hold her, and show her you care
When her world is blue, see her through
Any time that she needs you, be there
By her side, be the guy, that I couldn't be

And love her
Yeah, come on
Love her
Love her for me


7.My Love Is Growing

My love is growing, gonna tell my baby now my love is growing
Don't know how I lived before, every day I want you more
Gonna tell the world my love is growing

My love is growing, gonna tell my baby now my love is growing
I never realised, it took me by surprise, but now I know,
my love is growing

I never really thought too much about it, but girl I feel so
good I want to shout it
Dunno what I'm gonna do if you tell me that we're through
but now I know my love is growing
My love is growing, gonna tell my baby now, my love is growing

Dunno how I lived before, every day I want you more
Gonna tell the world, my love is growing
Yes my love keeps growing, oh it's so strong, my love is
growing


8.Another Tear Falls

Now and then
I see you passing by
And for a while
I don't begin to cry

But just when I think I'm all cried out

Another tear falls
Another tear falls
And then I know
You are still here in my heart
You are still here in my broken heart

Everytime I go with someone new
I tell myself I've gotten over you

But just when I think I'm all cried out

Another tear falls
Another tear falls
And then I know
You are still here in my heart

You are still
Here in my
Broken
Heart


9.Saddest Night In The World

On the saddest night in the world, I lost my way, I lost a girl
and the rain came down in the streets, blinding the way, I wait
for days
All night long I've been wondering how I'll carry on
without you all the things that ever mattered all fell through

On the saddest night in the world, shop window girls, smiled
through the rain
and the wet, grey figure called me looks for a man he used to be
Out of love, you've been running with you head held high
I said that it wouldn't matter, now without you I wanna die
And the rain-drenched old lady selling flowers in the street
knows you're gone...


10.In My Room

In my room, way at the end of the hall
I sit and stare at the wall
Thinking how lonesome I've grown, all alone
In my room

In my room, where very night is the same
I play a dangerous game
I keep pretending she's late
So I sit, and I wait

Over there is the picture we took when I made her my bride
Over there is the chair where I held whenever she cried
Over there by the window, the flowers she left - have all died

In my room, way at the end of the hall
I sit and stare at the wall
Thinking how lonely I've grown, all alone
In my room


11.Hurting Each Other

No one in the world, ever had a love as sweet as my love
'cos nowhere in the world could there be a girl as true as you
girl
All my love I give gladly to you
all your love you give gladly to me
Tell me why then, oh why should it be that we go on hurting each
other
We go on hurting each other, making each other cry, hurting each
other
without every knowing why

Closer that then leaves on the weeping willow baby we are
and closer dear are we than the simple letters a and b are
All my life I could love only you
all your life you could love only me
Tell me why then oh why should it be that we go on hurting each
other
We go on hurting each other, making each other cry, hurting each
other
without ever knowing why

Can't we stop, hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry, breaking other's heart, tearing each
other apart
Can't we stop, hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry, breaking other's heart, tearing each
other apart


12.My Ship Is Coming In

Girl, you've been so good to me
Stayin' by my side through the bad times
All my dreams never came true somehow
But things are gonna be different now, little baby

My ship is coming in
Baby, baby-
My ship is coming in

And won't it be fine
We're gonna make it this time

You can throw away that shabby dress
Buy yourself the finest things in town, girl
Pry your eyes, we're celebratin'
Oh, there's so many good times awaitin' baby

My ship is coming in
Baby, baby-
My ship is coming in

And won't it be fine
We're gonna make it this time

I know it's been tough on you
But through it all, you've been so true
Happy to be just lovin' me
And anything you want, it's yours 'cause baby

My ship is coming in
Baby, baby-
My ship is coming in

Baby, baby-
My holy ship - I've been waiting and it's coming in
(My ship) Oh can't you see it baby
Can't you feel the ship - I know it's coming in
Yeah, yeah
(My ship) Just for me and you, everything we ever wanted
Everything we ever wanted is coming in
So dry your eyes...


13.People Get Ready

people get ready
there's a train a-coming
you don't need no baggage
you just get on board
all you need is faith
you can hear the diesels humming
you don't need no ticket
you just thank the Lord

people get ready
for the train to Jordan
it's picking up passengers
from coast to coast
and faith is the key
and the train is now boarded
heaven is free
.... anything most

there's an awesome grace
for the hopeless sinner
who would hurt all mankind
even is to save his own
have pity on those
whose chances are thinner
cause there's no hiding place
from the King on His throne

so people get ready
there is a train a-comin'
you don't need no baggage
you just get on board
all you need is faith
you can hear the diesels humming
don't need no ticket
you just thank the Lord


14.Deadlier Than The Male

She whispers oh such pretty lies
Don't believe her
For when you look into her eyes
Love just isn't there

Brother, beware
Take care, my brother, take care

For the female of the species is deadlier than the male

The smile that made a dream begin
Clouds your vision
It's just the shadow of a dream
That you're living in

She never cared
Beware, my brother, beware

For the female of the species is deadlier than the male

Memories of kisses on a summer's day
That's all she left you when she went away
Now, you pay!

By walking streets, you'll never know
When the night comes
Sitting at places that you go
Hoping she'll be there

Brother, beware
Take care, my brother, take care

For the female of the species is deadlier than the male


15.Archangel

Silence
To hear once more
Her footsteps
Down a shadowed corridor
Frightened
You're overdue
The darkest day
Goes on until it's blessed by you

Archangel risin' on the moon
Just to save me from this tomb
I'll cry the tears of time all day
'Til she wipes them all away

Outside my window
On silver druppets children play
I stand here waiting
The dying of an ageless day
Dismiss young couples
Who go home to their knowing bed
And watch the rooftops
Where silent shadows slowly spread

Sleeping their dreamless sleep
They'll never know
What secrets this room keeps
They'll wait when
I'm born again
The rent's been paid
So hurry
Carry me away

Archangel risin' on the moon
Just to save me from this tomb
I'll cry the tears of time all day
'Til she wipes them all away


16.Sunny

Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain.
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain.

Oh, the dark days are done, and the bright days are here,
My sunny one shines so sincere,
Oh, Sunny one so true, I love you.

Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet.
Sunny, thank you for the love you've brought my way.

You gave to me your all and all,
Now I feel ten feet tall,
Oh, Sunny one so true, I love you.

Sunny, thank you for the truth you've let me see.
Sunny, thank you for the facts from A to Z.

My life was torn like wind blown sand,
Then a rock was formed when we held hands.
Sunny one so true, I love you.

Sunny, thank you for that smile upon your face.
Sunny, thank you for that gleam that flows with grace.

You're my spark of nature's fire,
You're my sweet complete desire.
Sunny one so true, I love you.


17.The Gentle Rain

We both are lost
And alone in the world

Walk with me
In the gentle rain

Don't be afraid
I've a hand for your hand
And I will be your world
For a while

I feel your tears
As they roll down your face
They are warm
Like the gentle rain

Come, little one
You've got me in the world
And our love will be sweet
Very sad, very sweet
Like the gentle rain

Like the gentle rain

Like
The gentle
Rain...


18.Mrs Murphy

Hello Mrs Murphy
That's a lovely dress you're wearing
Is it new
Why, thank you Mr Wilson
But I've had that same old dress about a year or two
Upstairs in bed, the tall boy stretched just like a cat
Put his hands behind his head
And lay there thinking of a dream that he had

I hear that the Johnsons had a baby, Mrs Murphy
Is that true
Why yes, but it's rumoured that the little tot's real daddy
lives in 22

In 22, the boy lay whistling out of tune
Fighting on the seas
Dreaming of a thousand things he'd like to be

Poor Mr Johnson being married to a wife who should be caged
It's the child who will suffer
And to think that young man is less than half her age

Upstairs he sits, he hears a knock, and nothing more
Come on in, you're late
Well, don't just stand there Mrs. Johnson
Close the door


19.Stay With Me Baby

Where did you go
When things went wrong, baby?
Who did you run to
And find the shoulder
To lay your head upon?

Baby, wasn't I there?
Didn't I take good care of you?

No, no
I can't believe
You'd really leave

Stay with me, baby
Stay with me, baby
Stay with me, baby
I can't go on
No, no, no

Who did you touch
When you needed tenderness?
I gave you so much
And in return
I found happiness

Baby, what did I do?
May I was too good, just too good for you

No, no
I can't believe
You'd really leave

Stay with me, baby
Stay with me, baby
Stay with me, baby

Remember
You said you'd always call and need me
Remember
You said you'd never ever leave me
Remember, remember
I'm asking you, begging you
Oh, oh, please

Stay with me, baby
Stay with me, baby
Stay with me, baby
I can't go on
No, no, no

Stay with me, stay with me, baby
Stay with me, stay with me, baby
Stay with me, stay with me, baby
Stay with me, stay with me, baby...


20.Me About You


21.Everything Under The Sun

If there's any more living to live
The life that's left in me I'm ready to give
If there's anything more I can do
Then tell me now, my love, I'll do it for you

*'Cause you're my everything,everything under the sun
You're my everything, heaven and earth rolled in one
After you I want nothing, nothing at all, oh yeah
I really do believe, everything
Even the air I breathe
Everything under the sun

Now I see the world that I hunger for
I see it through your eyes, no, not like before
Everywhere I go, all that I see
*Did not exist until you showed it to me

*Repeat (slightly different)

I need you baby
I need and love you baby
I need and love you and I want you
I need and love you and I want you baby,

*Repeat several times-fade out


22.Orpheus

Well, I'm back to make your face
So it smiles once again
And harpoon you like a whale
With a bent and rusty nail

If your husband knew, he'd say
That you're living in sin
Well, if grinnin' is a sin
That's the reason I'm here
Back with you, Mrs Blear

Sleep on, dear
Deep and easy, our night man is here
I'll steal your dreams for my shiny gold chain
And you'll wake with your eyes full of rain
Finding I've disappeared

I don't think of yesterday
Merely drum out the sound
But forgetting you was hard
That's why I'm back in town

And you had a loveless week
And the world's let you down
But I'll make it up somehow
There are ways, Mrs Brown
That's why I'm back in town

Sleep on, dear
For the night wouldn't dare interfere
And the ghosts of my cigarette play
On the ceiling, and time drifts away
With the burden it bears

Remember me
I've already forgotten you
And make your beds for me
For the things we ought not to do

Drive us all
'Round the bend


23.Stand By Me

When the night has come.
And the land is dark,
And the moon is the only
Light we'll see.

No, I won't be afraid,
No I won't be afraid.
Just as long as you stand,
Stand by me.

So, darling, darling,
Stand by me,
Oh, stand by me.
Oh, stand, stand by me, stand by me.

If the sea that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the Mountain.
Should crumble in the sea,

I won't cry,
I won't cry,
No I won't shed a tear.
Just as long as you stand,
Stand by me.

So, darling, darling,
Stand by me,
Oh, stand by me.
Oh, stand, stand by me, stand by me.


24.Can't Let It Happen To You

I can see you standing there outside
Where you going girl? You have no place to hide

You worry me
Cause I can see you've lost your pride

And I Can't let it happen to you
I Can't let it happen to you

Now he's gone, but with him went your dreams
But hang on girl, It's not as bad as it might seem

You've lost your heart
Drifting apart from love you seek

And I Can't let it happen to you
I Can't let it happen to you

You've lost your heart
Drifting apart from love you seek

And I Can't let it happen to you
I Can't let it happen to you


25.You're All Around Me

In the morning when everything has ended
And night's cover has lifted without you
In my mind I am here alone suspendend
with memories of you

In the streets I can hear the day beginning
Another day beginning without you
If you don't come back to me tomorrow
I don't know what I'll do

You're all around me everywhere
And in this city's lonely places
This crowded sea of faces
You're there
You're there

I tried so hard to keep our love together
Things that you could never ever know
and I'm resigned to loving you forever
I know I can't let go

You're all around me everywhere
And in this city's lonely places
This crowded sea of faces
You're there
You're there


26.Love Minus Zero

My love, she speaks like silence
Without ideals or violence.
She doesn't have to say she's faithful
Yet she's true, like ice, like fire.
People carry roses
And make promises by the hours
My love laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her.

In the dime stores and bus stations
People talk of situations
Read books, repeat quotations
Draw conclusions on the wall.
Some speak of the future
My love, she speaks softly
She knows there's no success like failure
And that failure's no success at all.

The cloak and dagger dangles
Madams light the candles
In ceremonies of the horsemen
Even the pawn must hold a grudge.
Statues made of match sticks
Crumble into one another
My love winks, she does not bother
She knows too much to argue or to judge.

The bridge at midnight trembles
The country doctor rambles
Bankers' nieces seek perfection
Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring.
The wind howls like a hammer
The night blows cold and rainy
My love she's like some raven
At my window with a broken wing.


27.Let The Music Play


28.Lazy Afternoon


29.Song For Young Love


30.Fool I Am


31.Shadow Of Your Smile

The shadow of your smile when you are gone
Will color all my dreams and light the dawn
Look into my eyes my love and see
All the lovely things you are to me
Our wistful little star was far too high
A tear drop kissed your lips and so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering


32.No Sad Songs For Me

No sad songs for me
Soon our love will be
Just a memory
It's all over

I walk around, imagining
The way you'll say goodbye
And when you try to tell me
I just hope that I won't cry

No sad songs for me
Soon our love will be
Just a memory
It's all over

The glow has gone forever
Our dreams have turned to dust
I don't know how I can go on
Yet I know I must

No sad songs for me
Soon our love will be
Just a memory
It's all over

It breaks my heart to feel this way
Although I try to smile
To think I'll be alone again
In just a little while

No sad songs for me
Soon our love will be
Just a memory
It's all over

It's all over
It's all over...


33.Here Comes The Night

Here comes the night
See the stars in the sky, shining high above, light of love
darling just you and I.
And a here come the night how I thrill to your kiss, music fills
the air, everywhre night of magic and bliss.

Think of the moments, the hours and hours that we were apart.
Moments and hours that kept bringing showers of tears to my
heart.

And here comes the night like the others before but tonight's
divine you are mine once more.

Think of the moments, the hours and hours that we were apart.
Moments and hours that kept bringing showers of tears to my
heart.

And here comes the night like the others before but tonight's
divine you are mine once more.


34.Genevieve

Tomorrow will be Saturday
You'll wake and find I've gone away
But life goes on
You'll get along
How easy we can whisper lies
I've lied until I want to cry
the truth I fear
won't disappear

Genevieve, love hangs on a string
pretty thing
love shines in the sky for you
I've tried to make your dreams come true
I've tried for you
Genevieve

Remember walks in summer rain
They've flown, but they'll return again
And someone new will walk with you
I guess I'll always be the same
A drifting man without a name
Once I loved too
But that's all through

Genevieve, love hangs on a string
pretty thing
love shines in the sky for you
I've tried to make your dreams come true
I've tried for you
Genevieve
Genevieve
Genevieve


35.I Will Wait For You

If it takes forever
I will wait for you
For a thousand summers
I will wait for you
'Til you're back beside me
'Til I'm holding you
'Til I hear you sigh
Here in my arms

Anywhere you wonder
Anywhere you go
Everyday remember
How I love you so
In your heart believe
What in my heart I know
That for evermore
I'll wait for you

The clock will tick away the hours, one by one
And then the time will come when all the waiting's done
The time when you'll return and find me here and run
Straight to my waiting arms

If it takes forever
I will wait for you
For a thousand summers
I will wait for you
'Til you're her beside me
'Til I'm holding you
And for evermore
Sharing your love

And for evermore
Sharing
Your love...


36.Make It Easy On Yourself

Oh, breaking up, is so, very hard to do

If you really love him
And there's nothing I can do
Don't try to spare my feelings
Just tell me that we're through
And make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself
Cause breaking up, is so, very hard to do

And if the way I hold you
Can't compare to this caress
No words of consolation
Will make me miss you less
My darling, if this is good-bye
I just know I'm going to cry
So run to him, before, you start crying to

And make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself
Cause breaking up, is so, very hard to do
Oh baby, it so hard to do

So make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself
Cause breaking up, is so, very hard to do
