One (First Mix)

by Jack Bruce

Lyrics
Face next to mine in the mirror
Love for an hour's history
Only one, just begun
Trying to keep from sleeping
Live in the soft memory
Only one, just begun

Says in the tune where there's plenty
Gold for life's treasury
Only two, what to do?
Searched in the moon, found the answer
Sold to the next mystery
Only two, what to do?

Get back on the track
Singing
Thirty shows, change of clothes
Facing rose glowing
Times torn, shadows born
Stormy, match away
Less to say, gone astray
Time to pay

Then there's just empty rooms again
Sweat streets, clean turned sheets

Face next to mine in the darkness
Go down the river with me
Ships that pass never last
Trying to keep from waking
Go how the light used to be
Ships that pass never last

Get back on the track
Singing
Thirty shows, change of clothes
Facing rose glowing
Times torn, shadows born
Stormy, match away
Less to say, time to pay
Gone astray

Then there's just talk of rooms again
Sweat streets, clean turned sheets
