His ego would bend
They were two hearts tuned

They explored each landscape
Both lovers and friends
Learning the art of love

Michael Franks Keep believing you soon will
earn your turn to flash in the pan
Think it's time to make my
exit
Look at me I'm a refugee
from the island life
Guess it must be clear I

Look at me I'm a refugee
from the island life
Can't you see we're just
refugees from the island life

John Michael Montgomery . Close your eyes, can you see me? Rollin' down the Rocky Mountains, Movin' like the wind that sweeps the Kansas plains. I know you're with me, As I make my way through Oklahoma, Past the barns and weather vanes. There are motels, cafes, mills, and billboard signs. A thousand miles of highway, Between your heart and mine. There will finally come a
moment,
I'll take you in my arms
again.
In my soul, I can feel you,
There will finally come a
moment,

Standing outside the fire,

a fantasy -
I want a man who stands
beside me."
