If It Wasn't For The Nights - Live At Wembley Arena, London/1979

I got appointments, work I have to do
Keepin' me so busy all the day through
They're the things that keep me from thinkin' of you
(Oh, baby, I miss you so)
(I know I'm never gonna make it)
Oh, I'm so restless, I don't care what I say
And I lose my temper ten times a day
Still, it's even worse when the night's on its way
It's bad
Oh, so bad

Somehow I'd be doin' all right
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I would make it)
I'd have courage left to fight
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could take it)
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Sittin' here alone and starin' at the wall
Even I could see a light
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I would make it)
Somehow I'd be doin' all right
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could take it)

No one to turn to, you know how it is
I was not prepared for something like this
Now I see them clearly, the things that I miss
(Oh, baby, I feel so bad)
(I know I'm never gonna make it)
I got my business to help me through the day
People I must write to, bills I must pay
But everything's so different when night's on its way
It's bad
Oh, so bad

Somehow I'd be doin' all right
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I would make it)
I'd have courage left to fight
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could take it)
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Sittin' here alone and starin' at the wall
Even I could see a light
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I would make it)
Somehow I'd be doin' all right
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could take it)

If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could take it)
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could take it)

Hello, everybody (hello)
It's almost three years since we played London the last time
And it's far too long, it's great to be back I can tell you that
Thank you
I would like to introduce to you, good friend of mine
Very good, old friend of mine
She's standing right behind me here
It's the blonde one
She's just about to sing "As Good As New"
