The Sleep Of The Good
No-one can touch you now - no
No-one can harm you, youre finally free
Your passion all spent
Your savage intent
To break away meant to break me
Oh cathy - the game you played!
Oh cathy - youve paid
Ive been betrayed
I try to find the words to justify
All that youve put me through
What gave you the right
To leave me?
When you
You knew
I loved you
I pray you find some peace at last
The sleep of the good
If only I could
Only my life remains - cold
This is a winter will never know spring
As time and again
I try to contain
The anger and pain that you bring
Oh cathy my reckless one!
Oh cathy its done
The nights begun
You lie so close, so calm, so motionless
I can almost believe
That youre still in my arms
Within me
So near
To hear
I loved you
I pray I find some peace at last
The sleep of the good
If only I could

Wuthering Heights
Out on the wiley, windy moors
Wed roll and fall in green.
You had a temper like my jealousy:
Too hot, too greedy.
How could you leave me,
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you. I loved you, too.
Bad dreams in the night.
They told me I was going to lose the fight,
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering heights.
Heathcliff, its me--cathy.
Come home. Im so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.
Heathcliff, its me--cathy.
Come home. Im so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.
Ooh, it gets dark! it gets lonely,
On the other side from you.
I pine a lot. I find the lot
Falls through without you.
Im coming back, love.
Cruel heathcliff, my one dream,
My only master.
Too long I roam in the night.
Im coming back to his side, to put it right.
Im coming home to wuthering, wuthering,
Wuthering heights,
Heathcliff, its me--cathy.
Come home. Im so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.
Heathcliff, its me--cathy.
Come home. Im so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.
Ooh! let me have it.
Let me grab your soul away.
Ooh! let me have it.
Let me grab your soul away.
You know its me--cathy!
Heathcliff, its me--cathy.
Come home. Im so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.
Heathcliff, its me--cathy.
Come home. Im so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.
Heathcliff, its me--cathy.
Come home. Im so cold!

Cathy was the first widely syndicated humor strip created by a woman. The strip was pretty revolutionary at the time not only because it starred a female, but also because it was so emotionally honest about all the conflicting feelings many women had in 1976.

Once Youve Loved Somebody
I should go out tonight
Get on with my life
Break these chains of solitude
With a little luck and a little help
I might even find myself
In the arms of someone new
Chorus:
Once youve loved somebody
It aint that easy to do
Once youve loved somebody
Like I loved you
Look what youve gone and done
Youve ruined everything for everyone
Who tries to steal this heart away
I cant get you off of my mind
Ive tried to tell myself a million times
A little time is all it takes
Repeat chorus
I gave you everything that I had to give
I dont know if I can go that far again
Repeat chorus

The Luckiest Man On Earth!
If I were the luckiest man, the luckiest man on Earth,
Then I would marry Cathy and I would prove my worth!
I'd kiss her in the morning and in the afternoon!
I'd kiss her in the evening, like on our honeymoon!
I'd kiss her in the sunshine! I'd kiss her in the shade!
I'd kiss her in the moonlight, as daylight starts to fade!
I'd kiss her on a Sunday I think the most of all!
Yet save my lips for Monday, my love to reinstall!
I can't help kissing Cathy 'cos my love's oh so strong!
I guess if I were twice the man, I'd kiss her all day long!
So, please pucker up, my pretty! Let's kiss our whole lives through!
God bless my cute celebrity, 'cos Cathy... I LOVE YOU!

Far From Me
As the cafe was closing
On a warm summer night
And cathy was cleaning the spoons
The radio played the hit parade
And I hummed a long with the tune
She asked me to change the station
Said the song just drove her insane
But it werent just the music playing
It was me that she was trying to blame.
Chorus:
And the sky is black and still now
On the hill where the angels sing
Aint it funny how an old broken bottle
Looks just like a diamond ring
But its far, far from me
Well, I leaned on my left leg
In the parking lot dirt
And cathy was closing the lights
A june bug flew from the warmth he once knew
And I wished for once I werent right
Why we used to laugh together
And wed dance to any old song.
Well, ya know, she still laughs with me
But she waits just a second to long.
Repeat chorus:
Well, I started the engine
And I gave it some gas
And cathy was closing her purse
Well, we hadnt gone far in my beat old car
And I was prepared for the worst.
Will you still see me tomorrow?
No, I got too much to do.
Well, a question aint really a question
If you know the answer too.
Repeat chorus:

When Lovers Become Strangers
Youre looking at him across the room
Wondering just how it all slipped away so soon
Youre looking to find some look in his eyes
That will take you back to yesterday
Dont remember the when or the where or why
All you know is that something has changed inside
And you cant bring it back no matter how you try
You know its over, youve got to say goodbye
Chorus:
Its such a shame, when lovers become strangers
Its such a shame, when you dont know each other any more
And all the memories that you shared
Are all thats still there
Its such a shame, when lovers become strangers
You cant seem to find the right words to say
And its too late for talking now anyway
Theres no one to blame its just not the same
And its never gonna be the same again no
So youre trying to figure out what went wrong
Where does the feeling go when the feelings gone
And you pray for the strength just to carry on
Youve got to let go of something youve loved so long
Chorus
So kiss him goodbye, try to walk away
With your head held high
Think about the good times, dont cry, dont cry
Though its tearing you apart inside
Its such a shame, its such a shame
And you cant bring it back no matter how you try
You got to let go, youve gotta say goodbye

Youre The One
Mountains may move
River may run
But you make me be myself
You make me be
How do I tell you
How do I tell
Youre the one
Stars may move
Time may run
But you make me free myself
You make me free
How do I tell you
How do I tell
Youre the one
Youre the one
In the worlds eye
We were laurel and hardy
In our minds
We were heathcliff and cathy
In a moment of wisdom
We were a wizard and a witch
In a moment of freedom
We were don quijote and sancho
In reality
We were just a boy and a girl
Who never looked back
How do I tell you
How do I tell you
How do I tell you
How do I tell you
How do I tell you
How do I tell you
How can I tell you
How could I tell you
Youre the one
Youre the one
Youre the one

What If Its You
(robert ellis orrall, cathy majeski)
Ive got something to tell you that I just cant say
So Im writing it down in case maybe someday
Our lives take a turn down a road
We cant see right now
I know youre happy and Im happy for you
But since you found each other
Ive been so confused
Cause I believe theres one soul on this earth
That was meant for mine
I was sent here to find
Chorus:
What if its you
What if our hearts were meant to be one
Whatll I do
Knowing that Ill never love anyone
As much as I do love you
What if its true
What if its you
If destiny called and I missed my cue
Do I get one more chance
Oh how I wish I knew
Ill never again put my heart in the hands of fate
If its too late
If I ever hold you Ill never let go
But if I never do how will I know

Have You Ever Loved Somebody
(hicks / clarke / nash)
You say that you want me and now that youve got me youre gone
Think what youre doin or else youll regret what youve done
Dont come back tomorrow and say what we did wasnt right
Youll cry on your pillow and find it hard to sleep at night
Have you ever loved somebody
Dont you know just what its like
Hurting someone that youre close to
Have you ever loved all night all night
Remember what happened the last time that you said goodbye
Remember the saying that once bit and Ill be twice shy
Its no use me crying there is no denying its right
When thinking has ruined the feeling that we had to fight
Chorus
If you hear people talking now
Will you laugh or cry
If you cry Ill sympathize with you
If you laugh Ill die
If you laugh Ill die

Chains About My Heart
Out of my sight / but the vision is still the same
Out of my mind / but the memory remains unchanged
Stones thrown in anger hold twice the hurt
Return to sender could only make things worse
Girl, youve got to break these chains around my heart
Cause Ive been lonely too long
Youve got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life
Dont ask me why / why Ive lived with this all alone
Locked up inside / and its cutting me to the bone
Love is a stranger avoiding me
Beware of dangers the only sign I see
Girl, youve got to break these chains around my heart
Cause Ive been lonely too long
Youve got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life
Are you listening / is there something that youd like to say
Am I getting through / are you just gonna leave me this way
Girl, youve got to break these chains around my heart
Before it tears me in two
Youve got to break these chains around my heart
Thats all Im asking of you
Youve got to break these chains around my heart
Cause Ive been lonely too long
Youve got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life

Anti-heroine
I'd planned to be Heathcliff's Cathy,
Lady Brett, Nicole or Dominique or Scarlett O'Hara.
I hadn't planned to be folding up the laundry
In uncombed hair and last night's smudged mascara,
An expert on buying Fritos, cleaning the cat box,
Finding lost sneakers, playing hide and seek.
And other things unknown to Heathcliff's
Cathy, Scarlett, Lady Brett, and Dominique.
Why am I never running through the heather?
Why am I never used by Howard Roark?
Why am I never going to Pamplona
Instead of Philadelphia and Newark?
How did I ever wind up with an Irving
When what I'd always had in mind was Rhett,
Or someone more appropriate to
Cathy, Dominique, Nicole, or Lady Brett?
I saw myself as heedless, heartless, headstrong,
An untamed woman searching for her mate.
And there he is -- with charcoal, fork, and apron,
Prepared to broil some hot dogs on the grate.
I haven't wrecked his life or his digestion
With unrequited love or jealous wrath.
He Doesn't know that secretly
I'm Scarlett, Dominique, Nicole, or Brett, or Cathy.
Why am I never cracking up in Zurich?
Why am I never languishing on moors?
Why am I never spoiled by faithful servants
Instead of spraying ant spray on the floors?
The tricycles are cluttering my foyer,
The Pop Tart crumbs are sprinkled on my soul.
And every year it's harder to be
Cathy, Dominique, Brett, Scarlett, and Nicole.

Youre The Only One
I found out the hard way
And Im never gonna break your heart
I know, too late
And I dont want to break your heart
Guess I had to go away just to find
What I left behind
Youre the only one
Youre the only one
Take me back
To where we started from
And lets make it now
Like we made it then
This ol heart aint gonna break your heart again
Nights I lay in bed
And your covers wouldnt warm my feet
And morning found me
Bitter or a bit too sweet
Oh baby, I had to go away
Just to run back and say
Youre the only one
Youre the only one
Take me back
To where we started from
Can we make it now
Like we made it then
This ol heart aint gonna break your heart again
Youre the only one darlin
Theyll never be anyone else but you
I love you so much
You are my love, youve become my life
And I never meant to break your heart
But, sometimes, you just got to go away
To find what you left behind
Youre the only one
Youre the only one
Take me back
To where we started from
Can we make it now
Like we make it then
This ol heart aint gonna break your heart again
Youre the only one
Youre the only one
Youre the only one
The only one
So take me back
To where we started from
Youre the only one
The only one
Youre the only one
You re the only one
The only one
Take me back
To where we started from
Fade:
Youre the only one
The only one
Youre the only one
Youre the only one
The only one

In The Night
You waken from a dream
You step outside
To find the world is changing
Under your feet
Somewhere in the past
Is the world you knew
Soon youll find that freedom
Is not so sweet
I cant imagine why youd throw it all away
After everything Ive said to you today
When you turn around to find theres
No one then you finally realize what youve done
In the night when theres no one there at all
In the night do you hear somebody call
You see someone and you tell yourself youre wrong
You hear a voice and you know it must belong
To the night just a shadow on the wall
And theres no one there at all
I gave you everything
Everything I had endlessly
Believing your love was true
And you will never know just how it hurt
To find that you were turning to someone new
I know that we cant ever change
What has been said but how can i
Believe our love is really dead
When you turn around to find theres no one
Then you finally realize what youve done
In the night when theres no one there at all
In the night do you hear somebody call
You see someone and you tell yourself youre wrong
You hear a voice and you know it must belong
To the night just a shadow on the wall
And theres no one there at all
-solo-
And when you turn around to find theres no one
Then you finally realize what youve done
In the night...
