I'm not that someone who's got what you want
I can do nothing but watch what you do
You just want someone to kiss you good night
But lips are never enough to get you through

You stole my nights and you got your way
And now you got me dying inside, oh baby

Ebony, don't walk out on me, listen to what I say
Pick up the pieces of my life into the night of day
How do you break this heart of steel, nobody ever could
Open the pages of my life, I'm only flesh and blood

I'll be your savior but baby I swear
I'm not living my life over you
Some satisfaction you get if you dare
But is it ever enough to get you through?

You stole my mind and you watch me fall
Now you leave the scene of the crime, oh no

Ebony, don't walk out on me, I never thought you could
I'm only what you make of me, I'm only flesh and blood
I'm only flesh and blood

When you're gone, you'll leave me behind
[Incomprehensible] with nothing to hide
Oh, lost in the night in a town without pity
You learn how to cry, you learn how to cry

Ebony, don't walk out on me, listen to what I say
Pick up the pieces of my life into the night of day
How do you break this heart of steel, nobody ever could
Open the pages of my life, I'm only flesh and blood

Gone are the days that came and went
Houses are made of wood
Live in a world of sand and stone
I'm only flesh and blood

Ebony, don't walk out on me, I never thought you could
I'm only what you make of me, I'm only flesh and blood

Bee Gees

The three Gibb brothers were very close as children and spent most of their time together. Barry was born in 1946, and his twin brothers Maurice and Robin were born in 1949. Together, they went on to become one of the most popular bands of the 1970s.

The Bee Gees have sold more than 220 million records worldwide, and functioned as a group almost continuously from 1958 to 2003, when Maurice Gibb suddenly died during a coma.
