I'm sitting on top of the world That's where I choose to be Watching the rat race down below That's just not the life for me I'm on top of the world Picked up a paper the other day Read a few stories- had to throw it out Page after page of bad news That can't be what life is about I'm on top of the world Yes I'm alright I'll sleep tight tonight You can't touch me I'm right where I want to be Life is so carefree On top of the world I like the view from the top of the world Blue skies for as far as I can see Watching the cold rain down below Life up here is so carefree On top of the world Yes I'm alright I'll sleep tight tonight You can't touch me I'm right where I want to be Life is so carefree On top of the world I'm sitting on top of the world Hard times just a memory

The furnace kicked on this morning For the first time this year Another Reminder That Winter is drawing near Stepped onto the cold floor Rise to greet the new day Pulled back the curtains and stared out into the grey Time passes so quickly Now the coldknocks at the door Yesterday we said hello to Summer Tomorrow Christmas will be in the stores Throw a log on the fire Warm myself in the glow Think how fast the year has past And wonder where did the time go Time passes so quickly Now the coldknocks at the door Yesterday we said hello to Summer Tomorrow Christmas will be in the stores Outside the flakes are falling The air is perfectly still Makes me want to stay in all day And think that maybe I will I think that maybe I will I think that maybe I will

Friday afternoon rolls around like a long lost friend Finally a chance to be myself again Now all I want is to get away What else can you do when Everyday feels like Monday Cup of coffee and tunes on the radio Slip behind the wheel and hit the open road It doesn't matter which way I go I know I just can't stay What else can you do when Everyday feels like a Monday So many plans and dreams left unfulfilled We lose ourselves just trying to pay our bills Monday morning sneaking up on me Soon the weekend will be a memory Friday afternoon rolls around like a long lost friend Finally a chance to be myself again

I remember A long ago night You and I Walking under the starlight I remember The way you looked at me You saw something That I didn't see I thought I knew what I wanted I never gave you the time Now I know what I've been searching for Is the one I left behind Like drops dripping through the trees The words you spoke rain down on me If I could Rewind the years I'd tell you all the things You wanted to hear I thought I knew what I wanted I never gave you the time Now I know what I've been searching for Is the one I left behind

I live in a nice town I really do like it here Such a nice place to be I've called it home for all of these years There's a voice on the Northwest wind Calling me over and over again Back to the place my heart wants to be Calling me home to my city by the sea I remember all those years ago Before I was off on my own I first saw the sea And knew one day I'd call it home There's a voice on the Northwest wind Calling me over and over again Telling me there's someplace else to be Calling me home to my city by the sea The time is now To finally follow my heart I'm going to answer the call Pack my bags and make a new start One day I'll be on the dock Watching ships sail into the mist Under soft clouds of grey An image my heart cannot resist There's a voice on the Northwest wind Calling me over and over again Telling me there's someplace else to be Calling me home to my city by the sea

I've never been good at knowing when to leave I always finds reasons to believe It's there in your eye's and the words you no longer say I should let you go But I'll ask you to stay We never know when love starts but we know when it dies I said I loved you You said you loved me Oh if only it could be so easy we played thoughtless games and pushed each other away I should let you go but I'll ask you to stay We never know when love starts but we always know when it dies Every sunrise ends in a sunset Broken hearts holds on to what the mind tries to forget

I saw you at the station Staring down the track Waiting for the last train home Not sure when it's coming back In your bags you packed your memories You can leave behind the pain On the horizon you see a light Soon you'll board the train And go home On the last train home At times this world we live in Seems like one big stage We are just actors In life's grand play When the final curtain Comes tumbling down We'll all gather at the station And take our final bow And go on home On the last train home We'll go home On the last train home The train has left the station There's no looking back I know I'll see you again one day Further on down the track On the last train home On the last train home We'll go home On the last train home
