This was a whole new ball-game altogether. I had produced or co-produced a lot of records myself and I was ready to have somebody else come in. Gary Katz had produced all the Steely Dan records which I thought and still think were some of the greatest records ever made and I was thrilled he wanted to produce me.
So I went to America completely excited. I flew out to L. Gary had put a band together which was made up of some of the best players in America. They had come out of blues, jazz and soul which was a huge part of my music too and far from being intimidated, I really felt that these guys would enjoy playing my songs. No use in asking…the answer is nobody knows No use in asking…the answer is nobody knows.
Johnny will keep his illusions What else can he do? In a world like this How can we live together? Like a knock on the door Open it up What do you see? Could be a trick or treat Bitter or sweet Which one you gonna be? Oh I really got to know the answer baby. Baby, when this cruel world Is tearing you apart Let me be your shelter When the storm hits your heart When you think that no one is listening In heaven up above Let me ease your sorrow With a heart full of love Solid love, solid love.
People like us We search the sky at night Waiting for stars to fall Holding our breath Hoping our turn will come Waiting to hear the call. Time after time We seem to stand in line Year after endless year… Wondering if The moment has passed us by, And where do we go from here. People like us We know the sky at night Is only a day away… Stars will come out, This time our turn may come Tomorrow could be the day.
I had a dream That you might love me That you and I We were meant for each other And living was what it could be.
I set my sail I steered towards you No wind or hail Could keep us from being together I heard you calling to me In my dream, in my dream. Long as the sun Comes over the mountain Long as true lovers Throw coins in a fountain Dreams will come, these dreams will come Dreams will come, these dreams will come. The wind it blew It blew for hours By my love grew Stronger than all of the ocean My spirit flew like a bird. I trimmed my sail Slipped through the showers How could I fail With all of this power in motion?
For we were to conquer the world In my dream, in my dream. No use in asking…the answer is nobody knows No use in asking…the answer is nobody knows Johnny will keep his illusions What else can he do? Dreams may come and go Things may hurt us so. But why should I be afraid?
