"Everything Changes" - Sean Riley & The Slowriders

There were times when you said to me
"settle down, settle down"
I was nervous but kept on repeating
"i'll come around, I'll come around"
Then you asked me if I was lost
If i needed help being found
And you took me under your wing
And got me home safe and sound

Why does everything have to change?
If we're better off when things stay the same
The wind's blowing you kisses
Sometimes hits, sometimes misses
And I'm getting tired of wandering around

I wanna stay with you
Baby I want to be true
I wanna be with you
Baby I need you to be true

There were nights when you'd find me
"We'll come around, somehow"
Then you'd throw your arms around me
And I'd just keep on dragging you down

Why does everything have to change?
If we're better off when things stay the same
The wind's blowing you kisses
Sometimes hits, sometimes misses
And I'm getting tired of wandering around

I wanna stay with you
Baby I want to be true
I wanna be with you
Baby I need you to be true

"Night Owls" - Sean Riley & The Slowriders

They call them night owls
Slowly riding into the night
They're alll married men
But they have to travel light

Last bourbon in the left hand
Cigarette in the right

You can catch them later on
They're in town for the night
You can catch them easily
If you move away from the light

Last bourbon in the left hand
Cigarette in the right

Oh but I lost my way with the night
I betrayed my sweet lady with the warm daylight

Now I hide from the moon
I run straight to my hotel room
Just a table and a bed
I can call home anywhere I lay my head


So I turn the tv on
Where nothing good is ever on
My heart pounding for the night
I'm thinking for how long can this go on

Last bourbon in the left hand
Cigarette in the right

Oh but I lost my way with the night
I betrayed my sweet lady with the warm daylight

Now I hide from the moon
I run straight to my hotel room
Just a table and a bed
I can call home anywhere I lay my head

"Sweet Little Mary" - Sean Riley & The Slowriders

There was a time when Mary was younger
Everyday she'd go outside and play
Daddy eould come home, late from work
Never too tired to play along
'Till the sun came down and dinner was served
Mommy made sure Mary had all she deserved

Later they'd go out for a walk
Italian coffee and ice cream too
The stars in the sky led the way
Made sure that Mary had merry day

Someone up there must realyy care for sweet little Mary
For all her days are graced with bliss, oh sweet little Mary
Like a princess, like an angel, like a little fairy
She believed she was special, Sweet Little Mary

Years passed and everything changed
Daddy got sick and mommy grew strange
It was all too much, way too soo
Now at dinner time you'd find Mary
Locked in her room

Someone up there must have forgotten sweet little Mary
She ain't no princess, ain't no angel, ain't no little fary
She believed she was special, sweet little Mary
She feels betrayed, she feels deceived, oh sweet little Mary

"Silver" - Sean Riley & The Slowriders

Your hair is silver now
Deep blue eyes prettier by the day
Too busy being young
Now I regret times spent far away

I'll never leave again
We both learnt time keeps running away
If I only had a wish
I'd wish we hadn't learned the hardest way


All I want is to make you feel loved
And all I care if it makes you feel better
All or nothing is all we ever had
And now we know we can't stay forever.


Life's not always fair
Yours was tough right from the start
Things I couldn't get when I was younger
Now bleed my heart

But I'll never leave again
We both learnt time keeps running away
If I only had a wish
I'd wish we hadn't learned the hardest way


All I want is to make you feel loved
And all I care if it makes you feel better
'Causes all or nothing is all we ever had
And now we know we can't stay forever, ever, ever, ever...

Forever, forever, forever
Forever, forever,
