Goodbye To The Island – 1981
A Goodbye to the Island Bonnie Tyler negyedik nagylemeze. Bonnie Tyler 1981-es nagylemezével nem ért el akkora sikereket, mint előző albumaival. Ennek egyrészt az volt az oka, hogy ez a retro, country-rock stílus kezdett háttérbe szorulni a helyébe lépő rockosabb zenei irányzattal szemben. Egyedül a Sitting on the Edge of the Ocean című dalával ért el figyelemreméltó sikert, amikor Japánban a Yamaha World Popular Song fesztiválon Arany Medál díjjal jutalmazták. A dalt később Bonnie spanyol nyelven is lemezre énekelte, ami a Dél Amerikai kislemezeken kapott helyet. Az albumra felkerült egy Procol Harum feldolgozás, az A Whiter Shade of Pale is. Ezzel az albummal véget ért Bonnie Tyler country rock stílusa és az RCA Records-al való közös munkája is. Az album bakelitlemezen és audió kazettán jelent meg az RCA kiadó gondozásában és csak 1991-ben jelent meg CD lemezen. 2010 február 15-én a brit Cherry Music felújított hangzással és 3 bónusz dallal adta ki az albumot.

01. I'm Just A Woman (Ronnie Scott / Steve Wolfe)
I'm just a woman, you are the only man
I need you always, you need me now and then
I'm just a woman, you are the only man
I'm just a puppet, you make me dance and sing
You know I love it, letting you pull the string
I'm just a woman, you are the only man
(chorus)
And I know
If you chose
You could throw me away like some old shoes
But as long
As your there
From the bottom of my heart I don't care
I'm just a lover, you walk along the way
I try to do it, but you always start the play
I'm just a woman, you are the only man
Chorus
I'm just a woman, ooh
I'm just a woman, ooh
And there are times you really show
Whats in your heart and then I know
No matter what you do, I can't let go
Baby part of your love
I'm just a woman, you are the only man
I need you always, you need me now and then
I'm just a woman, you are the only man
chorus
Ooh, I'm just a woman, ooh
I'm just a woman, ooh
I'm just a woman, you are the only man
I'm just a woman
Said I'm just a woman
I'm just a woman, you are the only man
I'm just a woman
Said I'm just a woman
I'm just a woman, just a woman
You are the only man
Just a woman
Said I'm just a woman
I'm just a woman, you are the only man
Just a woman
I said I'm just a woman, you are the only man
Yeah
I'm just a woman, you are the only man
I'm just a woman
Said I'm just a woman
I'm just a woman, you, you're the only man
02. We Danced On The Ceiling (Ronnie Scott / Steve Wolfe)
We danced on the ceiling
We danced on the wall
It gave me the feeling
That I wasn't there at all
We danced on the moonlight
We danced on the stars
Too early a day late
Came after the miles
(chorus)
Ooh, I don't want to let it end
I don't want to say goodbye
I don't want to let the only thing we ever had expire
Won't you take me through the night
To that far and distant light
Won't you take me back to paradise again
You took me to heaven
You took me from hell
We danced on the ceiling
Together we fell
Instrumental
Chorus
We danced on the ceiling
we danced on the wall
It gave me the feeling
That I wasn't there at all
You took me from heaven
Oh, you took me from hell
We danced on the ceiling
Together we fell
Chorus
Cause we danced on the ceiling
And we danced on the wall
It gave me the feeling
Chorus(1st part x 4)
03. Wild Love (Ronnie Scott / Steve Wolfe)
Darlin', every night
I keep wondering
What I'm not doing right
Fire, burning bright
And you look so
Oh, so good tonight
(chorus)
And I've been trying to make you happy for such a long time
Working hard to keep you so much it's a crime
Give me what I want cause I"m losing my mind
For your wild love
All I want is your wild love
Give me taste of your wild love
While I'm making love to you
Somewhere, in your eyes
There's a love light
That you just can't disguise
Darlin', come on darlin'
every night
I still wonder
What I'm not doing right
Chorus
Wild love
All I want is your wild love
Give me taste of your wild love
While I'm making love to you
Wild love
All I want is your wild love
Give me taste of your wild love
While I'm making love to you
Making love to you
Making love to you
Wild love
All I want is your wild love
Give me a taste of your wild love
While I'm making love to you
Wild love
Wild love
Give ma a taste of your wild love
While I'm making love to your
Wild love
All I want is your wild love
Give ma taste of your wild love
While I'm making love to your
04. The Closer You Get (Ronnie Scott / Steve Wolfe)
The street lights start to come on
I know that it's time
Stop what your doing
Meet those drinking friends of mine
First guy that calls me on the telephone says
Get on down, but I'm staying at home
Now I believe in love
I believe that it's true
Then I'm defenseless when I'm looking at you
Sleepy eyes on an angel's face
Don't worry baby, no one's gonna take your place
(chorus)
The closer you get, the better you look
Throw me a line
Ah, the closer you get, the more that I see
We'll sure have a good time
Now I know what you're thinking
How do I feel?
Well there's no rules in my book
Said the closer you get, oh, oh, the better you look
Instrumental
Keep one foot in the showroom and one on the side
I've had some close ones, but I'm doing alright
There's gold on his finger, it don't mean a thing
He'll do his best to hear this sweet lady sing
I've got the time if you've got the place
We've got he know how if you've got the space
We've got the power, we've got no shame
Come over baby, sure do want to light your flame
Chorus
Instrumental
05. Sometimes When We Touch (Ronnie Scott / Steve Wolfe)
You ask me if I love you
I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do
When I'm only just beginning
To see the real you
(chorus)
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
Then I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Romance with all it's strategies
Leaves me battling with my pride
And through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitate prize fighter
Still trapped within his youth
Chorus
Instrumental
Oh, times I want to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I want to break through
And hold you endlessly
Chorus
06. Goodbye To The Island (Ronnie Scott / Steve Wolfe)
Goodbye to the island
Hello to the rain
It's gone like a dream in the night
And it won't be back again
Goodbye to the island
Nobody's touch
Goodbye to a little bit of heaven
And I miss you so much
(chorus)
Oh, why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way
A bed is an island
A world apart
Soft words in the middle of the night
Straight from the heart
Two heads on a pillow
So warm so close
Goodbye to the island
Where it, where it mattered the most
Chorus
Instrumental
Goodbye to the island
Hello to the rain
It's gone like a dream in the night
And it won't be back again
Chorus then fade
07. Wild Side Of Life (Ronnie Scott / Steve Wolfe)
Well, you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you
You asked me not to call you on the phone
There's something I've been waiting for to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song
You never knew there were honky tonk angels
Or you might have known I'd never make a wife
You walked out on the only one who ever loved you
So I went back to the wild side of life
Now the glamour of the good life always lead me
To the places where the wild liquor flows
I tried to be your one and only angel
But I'm not that kind of angel, heaven knows
Instrumental
I cried so hard the day you went and left me
Cause some things you said, they cut me like a knife
What you wanted was another kind of angel
And you should be back to the wild side of life
No, well, I guess I'm just a honky tonk angel
I might have known I'd never make a wife
Well, you left the only one who ever loved you
And I'm back here on the wild side of life
I'm only a honky tonk angel
I might have known I'd never make a wife
You walked out on the only one who ever loved you
And you left me here on the wild side of life
08. Whiter Shade Of Pale (Ronnie Scott / Steve Wolfe)
We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
The crowd called out for more
The room was hummin' harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray, so
* (Oh) It was later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
(It) Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
As I wander through my playing cards
I could not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leavin' for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well have been closed
*repeat 2 times
Turned a whiter shade of pale
09. Sitting On The Edge Of The Ocean (Ronnie Scott / Steve Wolfe)
You asked me to come
And so here I am
Has everything gone
According to plan
Don't know what to say
But something still burns
As soon as we touch again
That feeling returns
A little confused
But better by far
To be lovers again
Cause that's what we are
(chorus)
It's like I'm sitting on the edge of the ocean
Walking a very fine line
Playing my cards on the table
Got to be honest this time
I'm just sitting on the edge of the ocean
Telling it all to the sea
Baby you know that I love you
But I want you to know that I'm me
I knew him before
Before I met you
He was my first love
So what could I do
I've opened my heart
Now you know it all
You want me to stay
You've only to call
Chorus then fade
10. I Believe In Your Sweet Love (Ronnie Scott / Steve Wolfe)
If you want my love
You've only got to take it
And if you get my heart
Do anything but break it
And if you want to know the truth
I think about you all night
And whatever I am doing
You're never out of my mind
(chorus)
Whoa, I believe in your sweet love
Whoa, I believe in your sweet love
There's a way you've got
Something in the mixture
As the night goes on
You could become a fixture
Chorus
I believe
Oh, I believe
If you want my love
You've only got to take it
And if you get my heart
Do anything but break it
Chorus/I believe, I believe (back and forth)
I need you at the midnight hour
I need you when the lights go down
I can’t get over the fact
That I need you, come back
‘Cause it’s driving me crazy
I need you in the morning rain
I need you and it’s getting late
I can’t get enough of your love
‘Cause enough of your love
Oh, I can’t do without it
Come on, come on and give me loving
Come on, to me
Well, come on, come on
And give your love to me

Come on, to me
Well, come on, come on
And give your love to me, oh yeah...
I can’t see in the dark, but I see you
Words don’t come from your heart, but they get through
Something’s happened to you, something’s happened to me
Someone’s changing our lives, I know it isn’t me
Oh get out of my head and get into my heart
Get out of my head and get into my heart
I thought it was love
But there’s love and there’s love
So get out of my head and get into my heart
Not much more I can do, than what I’ve done
You shot me through the heart, without a gun
Something’s happened to you, something’s happened to me
Someone’s changing our lives, I know it isn’t me
Oh get out of my head and get into my heart
Get out of my head and get into my heart
I thought it was love
But there’s love and there’s love
So get out of my head and get into my heart
Something’s happened to you, something’s happened to me
Someone’s changing our lives, I know it isn’t me
Oh get out of my head and get into my heart
Get out of my head and get into my heart
I thought it was love
But there’s love and there’s love
So get out of my head and get into my heart
Get out of my head and get into my heart
Get out of my head and get into my heart
Get out of my head and get into my heart
Get out of my head and get into my heart
