ONE WAY TICKET

©1998 Walter Crockett    ... as sung by Valerie
From Valerie & Walter Crockett's Moonbone on the Big Bark label.

Here we are standing together
Wishin' there was no one around
But someone always needs my attention
And you cast your eyes on the ground
We've never really spoken about it
Still I think you're reading my mind
I'm dyin' just to dive in this ocean
And take all the pearls we can find

But some fear keeps me from taking your hand
Is it the heart of a woman or the hold of a man
That's callin' me to be what I was, not who I am

CHORUS:
If I could just believe in that look in your eyes
That tells me spread my wings get ready to fly
I wouldn't spend this evening sayin' goodbye
I'd buy a one way ticket, one way ticket tonight

Here we are feeling like lovers
Workin' hard at looking like friends
Imagining the touch of each other
Longing to feel it again

Then you look up and I lock on your gaze
And it's a long, long look and I'm finally amazed
To find that we don't even care if everyone stares

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Too close for comfort it seems
Too close to some of my dreams about you

REPEAT CHORUS

Here we are lying together
Holding all the world in our hands
