"Soul to Soul"

(Brian Doherty)

(Ali-Ollie on lead except where otherwise noted, words in parentheses are by the group.)

Piece of newspaper at my feet,

We go blowing down the street.

Got our stories old and new,

Need someone to tell them to.

Chorus:

We don’t need to be eye to eye

(or face to face)

I’m not asking for miracles

(no saving grace)

And I don’t need another heart

(to have and hold)

All I want is a friend I can talk to

(soul to soul)

Like a notebook on a shelf,

Tired of talking to myself.

Wishing somebody, passing by,

Would pick me up and look inside.

Repeat chorus

Everyone needs someone to turn to,

When their walking that line

(got to walk that line)

And we all need a friend we can cry to,

And I’m out on that line!

(I’m on that line)

It’s been so long now, you know I’ve needed mine!

All I need is a friend I can talk to

(soul to soul)

I just call and there you are

(soul to soul)

[Ron] Shinging on me like a star

(shining down)

Smile in my direction in the night, and I feel your light yeah.

(soul to soul)

I’m feeling stronger now,

(soul to soul)

Won’t you shine a little longer right now….

I’m still holdin’ that line…..

(got to hold that line)

Keep me holdin’ that line!

[Richard] We don’t have to be eye to eye,

(or be face to face)

[Ron] I’m not asking for miracles

(no saving grace)

And I don’t need another heart,

(to have and hold)

All I want is someone I can talk to

(soul to soul)

Oh I need a friend right now…..  (fades)
