In the moonlite
Under startlite
Songs old as the night
Are what I've been dreamin' of
Everybody's hard as iron
Locked in a modern world
Dreams are make of a different stuff
I believe love will always be the same
The ways and means are the parts subject to change

I can call you
Got your number
Share my life with you
A thousand miles away
If you've hurt me
I haven't shown it
Time's too tight to fight
And we're never face to face
Style is timeless and fashion's only now
We are the ways no one needs to show us how

I've got the way we works
I've got a way we run

And you believe that I'm in a gladly age and not behind

I got the method
Baby
And it's right on time
