windswept
(Bryan Ferry)

Oh baby do it again and again
I can hear nothing
Windswept is the sand

Oh baby show me more
I can see nothing
Windswept is the shore

Heatwave to nightshade
Oh I'm feeling swept away

Oh baby don’t leave me there
With a low whisper
Windswept in the air

You say it’s nothing
But a game to play
Oh I’m feeling swept away

Slow baby you can take your time
I can hear nothing
Windswept is the tide

A feeling only or a state of mind
You can take me high mama
Mama take me high

Valentine
(Bryan Ferry)

Tell me something I must know
The burning question why
Half a man is twice as much
When he’s on the line

Happiness – hard to get
Valentine in hand
None of theme will ever guess
But you understand

How many men in a world of their own
There is no end to the great unknown

Tell me something I must know
I’m outside looking in
Train of mirrors none so fair
Let the show begin

How many men in a world of their own
There is no end to the great unknown
