Feeling better, now that we're through
Feeling better, 'cause I'm over you
I've learned my lesson, it left a scar
And, Now I see how you really are
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good, I'm gonna say it again
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good
I broke a heart that's gentle and true
Well, I broke a heart over someone like you
I'll beg his forgiveness on bended knee
But, I wouldn't blame him if he said to me
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good, I'm gonna say it again
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good
I'm telling you now baby and I'm going my way
Forget about you baby 'cause I'm leaving to stay
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good
I'm gonna say it again
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good
Oh, oh, oh, I say
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
What's new?
How is the world treating you
You haven't changed a bit
Handsome as ever I must admit
What's new?
How did that romance come through
We haven't met since then
Gee but it's nice to see you again
What's new?
Probably I'm boring you
But seeing you is grand
And you were sweet to offer your hand
I understand
Adieu
Pardon my asking what's new
Of course you couldn't know
I haven't changed
I still love you so
Adieu
Pardon my asking what's new
Of course you couldn't know
I haven't changed
And when I see the sign that points one way
The lot we used to pass by every day
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You're not to blame
From deep inside the tears I forced to cry
From deep inside the pain I chose to hide
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes
For me it cries
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes
For me it cries
Your name and mine inside a heart upon a wall
Still find a way to haunt me though they're so small
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
Oh, baby don't it feel like heaven right now
Don't it feel like something from a dream
Hey, I've never known nothing quite like this
Don't it feel like the night might never be again
Baby we know better than to try and pretend
Honey, no one could've ever told me about this
I said, "Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah"
The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part
Well yeah, you might've chased a couple women around
Oh, all it ever got you is down
Yeah then there were those that made me feel good
But never as good as I feel right now
Baby you're the only one that's ever known how
To make me want to live like I want to live now
I said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"
The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you get one more yard
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part
Oh, don't let it kill you babe
Don't let it get to you
Don't let it kill you babe
Don't let it get to you
I'll be your bleeding heart, I'll be your crying fool
Don't let this go too far don't let it get to you
I said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"
The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you get one more yard
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part
The waiting is the hardest part
Well, everybody knows you been steppin' on my toes
And I'm gettin' pretty tired of it
I'm gonna hit you on the head with a pan of cornbread
If you had any sense you'd quit
'Cause ever since I was a little bitty teeny girl
I said, you were the only man in this whole world
So now you'd better do some thinkin' then you'll find
You got the only mama that'll walk the line
Well, I'm a-workin' every day, all you wanna do is play
I'm gettin' tired of stayin' home all night
Well, I'm a-comin' unglued from your funny little moods
Now honey baby that ain't right
'Cause ever since I was a little bitty teeny girl
I said, you were the only man in this whole world
So now you'd better do some thinkin' then you'll find
You got the only mama that'll walk the line
Well, I'm a-packin' up my clothes
Nearly everybody knows that you're still just a-puttin' me on
And when I start a-walkin' gonna hear you start a-squawkin'
And a-beggin' me to come back home
'Cause ever since I was a little bitty teeny girl
I said, you were the only man in this whole world
So now you'd better do some thinkin' then you'll find
You got the only mama that'll walk the line
You got the only mama that'll walk the line
You got the only mama that'll walk the line
At the dark end of the street
That's where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness, to hide our wrong, you and me
At the dark end of the street
Just you and me
I know that time is gonna take it's toll
We gonna pay for the love we stole
Ah, it's a sin and we know that it's wrong
Ah, but our love keeps coming on strong, you and me
At the dark end of the street
Just you and me
They're gonna find us, they're gonna find us
They're gonna find us someday
We steal away to the dark end of the street
Just you and me
If you take a walk downtown
And you find some time to look around
If you should see me and I walk on by
Oh, darling please don't cry, tonight we'll meet
At the dark end of the street
Just you and me, oh you and me
When you see him tell him things are slow
There's a reason and he's sure to know
But on second thought, forget it
Just tell him I said, "Hello"
If he asks you when I come and go
Say I stay home 'cause I miss him so
But on second thought, forget it
Just tell him I said, "Hello"
Look into his eyes
When you speak my name
Maybe there's a spark
To start another flame
Do I love him, don't say yes or no?
If he should ask you but he won't, I know
'Cause it's all over and forgotten
Just tell him I said, "Hello"
Look into his eyes
When you speak my name
Maybe there's a spark
To start another flame
Do I love him, don't say yes or no?
If he should ask you but he won't, I know
'Cause it's all over and forgotten
Baby, when you're down
I'll be around, I'll be around
Baby, when you're lost
I'll be your found, I'll be your found
When the night is long, I'll be the crack of dawn
Baby, when you take a shot
I'll be your sweet spot, I'll be your sweet spot
Bab,y when you need to float
I'll be your lifeboat, I'll be your lifeboat
When you want to play along
I'll be your Mah Jong, I'll be your Mah Jong
When you've done your best, I'll be your day of rest
Baby when you take a shot
I'll be you sweet spot, I'll be you sweet spot
I'll be you sweet spot, I'll be you sweet spot
I'll be you sweet spot
Baby, when you're fallin' off your feet
Out on a road that's rough and steep
And you're looking for a state of grace
I'll be your leap of faith
Baby, when you're growing old
I'll be your solid gold, I'll be your solid gold
When your ship don't come in
I'll be your thick and thin, I'll be your thick and thin
When your love is blind, I'll be your walk the line
When you've given all you've got
I'll be your sweet spot, I'll be you sweet spot
I'll be your sweet spot, I'll be your sweet spot
Somewhere out there, beneath the pale moon light
Someone's thinking of me, and loving me tonight
Somewhere out there, someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another, in that big somewhere out there
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing, on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping, underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there, if love can see us through
Then we'll be together, somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping, underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there, if love can see us through
Then we'll be together, somewhere out there
Skylark, have you anything to say to me?
Won't you tell me where my love can be?
Is there a meadow in the mist
Where someone's waiting to be kissed?
Oh Skylark, have you seen a valley green with spring
Where my heart can go a-journeying?
Over the shadows and the rain
To a blossom-covered lane
And in your lonely flight
Haven't you heard the music in the night?
Wonderful music, faint as a will o' the wisp
Crazy as a loon, sad as a gypsy serenading the moon
Oh Skylark, I don't know if you can find these things
But my heart is riding on your wings
So if you see them anywhere, won't you lead me there?
Oh, the sisters of mercy
They are not departed or gone
They were waiting for me
When I thought that I just can't go on
And they brought me their comfort
And later they brought me this song
Oh, I hope you run into them
You, who've been traveling so long
Yes, you who must leave everything
That you cannot control
It begins with your family
But soon it comes around to your soul
Well, I've been where you're hanging
And I think, I can see how you're pinned
When you're not feeling holy
Your loneliness says, that you've sinned
Well, they lay down beside me
I made my confessions to them
They touched both my eyes
And I touched the dew on their hem
If your life is a leaf
That the seasons tear off and condemn
They will bind you with love
That is graceful and green as a stem
When I left they were sleeping
And I hope you run into them soon
Don't turn on the lights
You can read their address by the moon
And you won't make me jealous
If I find that they've sweetened your night
We weren't lovers like that
And besides it would still be all right
We weren't lovers like that
Hank Williams died when I was five
He sang, "I'll never get out of this world alive"
Now it's been a long time since I was a kid
And I've seen a lot more than Hank ever did
I've done the down and out in every dark end dive
But I'll never get out of your love alive
Sam Coke met the woman at the well
She told him that his song was something he could never sell
And I think he knew a change was gonna come
Still he lived too fast and he died too young
Well, dying young I have survived
But I'll never get out of your love alive
I got washed in the blood of Bill Monroe
When he sang about the the blues in my body and soul
He believed in a God that could raise the dead
"Still it's a mighty dark night to travel", he said
I've seen a mighty dark night and I made that drive
But I'll never get out of your love alive
Robert Johnson had a hell hound on his trail
Drove him to the coffin like a hammer and a nail
It takes a powerful man to carry that load
When you're trying to beat the devil to the old crossroads
I wrestled the devil lived to testify
But I'll never get out of your love alive
I'll never get out of your love alive
Oh, I'll never get out of your love alive
Salomé no está llorando
Los martirios de tus penas
Es mentira
Nunca ha sido mujer buena
Con humano corazón
Mujer falaz
Impostora de caricias
Tu beso es virus
Que al alma envenena
Mueve tus ansias
Un corazón de hiena
Con las maldades
Que encierra la codicia
Muher falaz
Impostora de caricias
Tu beso es virus
Que el alma envenena
Mueve tus ansias
Un corazón de hiena
Con las maldades
Que encierra la codicia
Mentira
Salomé no está llorando
Mentira
La mentira de tus penas
Mentira
Nunca ha sido mujer buena
Mentira
Con humano corazón
Mentira
Impostora de caricias
Mentira
Ay salomé
Salo salomé
Chère 'tit zozo quoi t'apré fé?
T'apré sauter, t'apré chanter
To pas connais n'a p'us Marie
Marie mouri, Marie mouri
'Tits herbe tout vert, 'tits herbe tout moux
Faut p'us to fais un lit pou nous
To pas connais n'a p'us Marie
Marie mouri, Marie mouri
Quand jou fini n'a p'u soleil
Quand nuit fini n'a pas sommeil
Quand monde content mo p'us ca ri
And so you have come back to me
And say the old love's growing yet
You tried through all these weary years
You tried too vainly to forget
Oh no, I cannot take your hand
God never gives us back our youth
The loving heart you slighted then
Was yours my friend in perfect truth
Come close and let me see your face
Your raven hair is tinged with snow
Oh yes, it is the same dear face
I loved so many years ago
Oh no, I cannot take your hand
God never gives us back our youth
The loving heart you slighted then
Was yours my friend in perfect truth
Farewell, I think I love you yet
As friend to friend God bless you dear
And guide you through these weary years
To where the skies are always clear
Oh no, I cannot take your hand
God never gives us back our youth
The loving heart you slighted then
Was yours my friend in perfect truth
Oh no, I cannot take your hand
God never gives us back our youth
The loving heart you slighted then
I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something I've never had
Never had no kissin'
Ooh what I've been missin'
Lover man oh where can you be
The night is cold and I'm so all alone
I'd give my soul just to call you my own
Got a moon above me
But there's no one to love me
Lover man oh where can you be
I've heard it said that the thrill of romance can be
Like a heavenly dream
I'll go to bed with a prayer that you'll make love to me
Strange as it seems
Someday we'll meet and you'll dry all my tears
And whisper sweet little things in my ears
Huggin' and a kissin'
Ooh what I've been missin'
Lover man oh where can you be
I've heard it said that the thrill of romance can be
Like a heavenly dream
I'll go to bed with a prayer that you'll make love to me
Strange as it seems
Someday we'll meet and you'll dry all my tears
And whisper sweet little things in my ears
Huggin' and a kissin'
Ooh what I've been missin'
Let me rock you in my arms
I'll hold you safe and small
A refugee from the Seraphim
With your rich girl rags and all
Did your dreams die young, were they too hard won
Did you reach too high and fall?
And there is no rest for the ones God blessed
And He blessed you best of all
Your eyes seem from a different face
They've seen that much that soon
Your cheek's too cold, too pale to shine
Like an old and waning moon
And there is no peace, no true release
No secret place to crawl
And there is no rest for the ones God blessed
And He blessed you best of all
If tears unshed could heal your heart
If words unsaid could sway
Watch you melt into the night
With adieu and rue the day
Did your dreams die young, were they too hard won
Did you reach too high and fall?
And there is no rest for the ones God blessed
I fall to pieces each time I see you again
I fall to pieces how can I be just your friend
You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget pretend we've never met
And I tried and I tried but I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces
I fall to pieces each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces time only adds to the flame
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll me too the way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces
The farce was ended
The curtain drawn
And I at least pretended
That love was dead and gone
But now from nowhere
You come to me as before
To take my heart
And break my heart once more
Get out of town
Before it's too late my love
Get out of town
Be good to me please
Why wish me harm?
Why not retire to a farm?
And be contented to charm
The birds off the trees
Just disappear
I care for you much too much
And when you're near
Close to me dear we touch too much
The thrill when we meet
Is so bittersweet that
Darling it's getting me down
On your mark, get set, get out of town
Just disappear
I care for you much too much
And when you're near
Close to me dear we touch too much
The thrill when we meet
Is so bittersweet that
Darling it's getting me down
On your mark, get set, get out of town
On your mark, get set, get out of town
Get out of town
Get out of town
Want love? Get closer
You want love? Get closer
Hold her hand, be forward
Come on, be a man, get closer
Instead of worrying about those things you said
Follow your heart and forget your head
Maybe some things will jump out your mouth
Make her notice that you're crazy about her
You want love? Get closer
You want love? Get closer
You make a fuss when her eyes ain't on you
Well, give her something to look forward to
Remember all those other girls who ran
Away from something they didn't understand
You want love? Get closer
You want love? Get closer
Why you worrying about those things you said
Follow your heart and forget your head
Oh, slide over on the seat
Tempted and tried we're oft made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested though in the wrong
When death has come and taken our loved ones
It leaves a home so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder why others prosper
Living so wicked year after year
Farther along, we'll know all about it
Farther along, we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by
"Faithful 'til death," said our loving master
A few more days to labor and wait
Toils of the road will then seem as nothing
As we sweep through the beautiful gates
Farther along, we'll know all about it
Farther along, we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by
I lose my way, no one cares.
The words I say, no one hears.
My life it seems, is a world of dreams.
Deep in the night, you'll find me.
Dream and you're right behind me.
Stay, if you will stay.
We'll dream the night away.
Dreams to dream, in the dark of the night.
When the world goes wrong, I can still make it right.
I can see so far in my dreams, I'll follow my dreams
until they come true.
There is a star waiting to guide us
shining inside us when we close our eyes.
Come with me, you will see what I mean.
There's a world inside, no one else ever sees.
You will go so far in my dreams
somewhere in my dreams, your dreams will come true.
Don't let go, if you stay close to me
In my dreams tonight, you will see what I see
Dreams to dream as near as can be, inside you and me
will always come true.
Originally recorded by Roy Orbison
I feel so bad I got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind
On Blue Bayou
Saving nickels saving dimes
Working til the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou
I'm going back someday
Come what may
To Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou
Where those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be
Gonna see my baby again
Gonna be with some of my friends
Maybe I'll feel better again
On Blue Bayou
Saving nickels saving dimes
Working til the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou
I'm going back someday
Come what may
To Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou
Where those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be
Oh that boy of mine
By my side
The silver moon
And the evening tide
Oh some sweet day
Gonna take away
This hurting inside
Well I'll never be blue
My dreams come true
The strange young man who comes to me
A soldier on a three day spree
Who needs one night's cheap ecstasy
And a woman's arms to hide him
He greets me with a courtly bow
And hides his pain by acting proud
He drinks too much and he laughs too loud
How can I deny him?
Let us dance beneath the moon
I'll sing to you, "Claire de Lune'
The morning always comes too soon
But tonight the war is over
He speaks to me in schoolboy French
Of a soldier's life inside a trench
Of the look of death and the ghastly stench
I do my best to please him
He puts two roses in a vase
Two roses sadly out of place
Like the gallant smile on his haggard face
Playfully I tease him
Hold me neath the Paris skies
Let's not talk of how or why
Tomorrow's soon enough to die
But tonight the war is over
We make love too hard too fast
He falls asleep his face a mask
He wakes with the shakes and he drinks from his flask
I put my arms around him
They die in the trenches and they die in the air
In Belguim and France the dead are everywhere
They die so so fast there's no time to prepare
A decent grave to surround them
Old world glory old world fame
The old worlds gone gone up in flames
Nothing will ever be the same
And nothing lasts forever
Oh I'd pray for him but I've forgotten how
And there's nothing, nothing that can save him now
But there's always another with the same funny bow
And who am I to deny them
Lux aeterna, Luce-at e-is
Domine cum sanctic tu-is in aeternum
Qui-a pius es
Requiem aeternaum dona e-is Domine
Qui-a pius es
Tonight the war is over
Requiem aeternaum dona e-is Domine
Qui-a pius es
Et lux perpetua luce-at- e-is Cum sancris tu-is in
Aeternum qui-api-us es
It begins to tell 'round midnight
'Round midnight
I do pretty well 'til after sundown
Supper time, I'm feeling sad
But it really gets bad 'round midnight
Memories always start 'round midnight
'Round midnight
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories
When my heart is still with you
And old midnight knows it too
When some quarrel we had needs mending
Does it mean that our love is ending?
Darling, I need you
Lately I find you're out of my arms
And I'm out of my mind
Let our love take wing some midnight
'Round midnight
Let the angels sing for your returning
Let our love be safe and sound
When old midnight comes around
Let our love take wing some midnight
'Round midnight
Let the angels sing for your returning
Let our love be safe and sound
Que pena de las palabras que se callaron
Y aquellas que pronunciadas, estan perdidas
Que pena de primavera sin flor ni canto,
Que pena de algun verano sin golondrinas
Que pena de algunos besos que no se han dado
Y aquellos labios dispuestos pero ya escondidos
Que pena de las estrellas que se apagaron
En medio de alguna noche mal encendida
Que pena de las promesas que se quedaron
Bailando con los recuerdos en una esquina
Que pena de los amantes que se dejaron
Sin darse siquiera un beso de despedida
Que pena de los amores que ya pasaron
Que pena de los amores que no exist?an
Que pena de los amores que me olvidaron
Que pena de los amores que se me olvidan
Love's Sorrows
What a pity that those words were never spoken
And those that were, have been lost
What a shame that spring had no flower and no song
How sad that summer had no swallows
What a pity that some kisses were not given
What a shame that those lips that were ready were hidden
How sad that some stars burned out
In the middle of a dark night
What a pity that those promises just lingered on
Dancing with memories in a corner
How sad that lovers parted
Without even a good-bye kiss
How sad that love has gone
How sad there is no love
How sad that I have been forgotten by those who once love me
How sad that I can't remember those that I once loved
Por el quebrado camino
Que va a la sierra huasteca
Se oye cantar un jinete
Que monta una yegua prieta
Al acompasado trote
De la jaca tan inquieta
Brota el agudo falsete
Con que el jinete se alegra
Ay la la la
De lejos vengo yo a verte
a conseguir lo que quiero
Aunque la vida me cueste
Asi el polvo en el camino
Envuelve jinete y yegua
Hasta que los dos se pierden
Entre tupida arboleda
Despues ya solo se escucha
Por la lejana vereda
El falsete del huasteco
Que al cantar
Asi se expresa
Ay la la la...
The Road
Along the broken road
That runs along the huasteca range
A horseman is heard singing
Mounted on a dark mare
Accompanied by the trot
Of his restless mount
Breaking into high falsetto
The rider joyfully sings
I've come from far away to see you
To get what I long for
Even if it will cost my life
Like that the dust in the road
Surrounds horse and rider
Until they both disappear
In the thick forest
Later, all that is heard
Is the huasteco's falsetto
t
I tried again to drive myself insane
I talk to myself but I don't listen
I found out what I was missing
I miss talking in the dark
Without you I'm not conversation
Oh without the sense of the occasion
Oh without you
I miss talking in the dark
When the barking and the biting are through
We can talk like we're in love
Or we can talk above it
We can talk and talk
Until we talk ourselves out of it
I look for the new somebody to abuse
I look at myself but it's so chancy
I see things that I don't fancy
I miss talking in the dark
Without you I'm not conversation
Oh without the sense of the occasion
Oh without you
I miss talking in the dark
There's a lot to learn
For wasting time
There's a heart that burns
There's an open mind
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
You own it
You own it now
You own it
There's a weight on you
But you can't feel it
Living like I do
It's hard for you to see it
Was I hurt too bad
Can I show you daylight
How can I be sad
When I know that you might
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
It's in your neighborhood
I know things are gonna change
But I can't say bad or good
There's a lot to learn
For wasting time
There's a heart that burns
There's an open mind
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
Well you can read it in the morning papers
Hear it on the radio
Crime is sweeping the nation
This world is about to go
We need a good old case of salvation
To put the love of God in our souls
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll
We need more old time camp meetings
And a lot more prayers of faith
Prayers that will move a mountain
Save our souls from the burning waste
We need a good old case of salvation
To put the love of God in our souls
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll
We need more old fashioned preachers
Pouring out their hearts in prayer
When you're in their presence
Well you know that the Lord is there
We need a nationwide revival
To put the love of God in our souls
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll
Baby oh baby
Tell the man at the ticket stand that you've changed your mind
Well let me run on out and tell the cab to keep his meter flying
Cause if you say goodbye to me babe you're gonna break my mind
Break my mind
Break my mind
Well I just can't stand to hear the big jet engines whine
Break my mind
Break my mind oh lord
Well if you leave you're gonna leave a babbling fool behind
Baby oh baby
Well let me take your suitcase off of that scale in time
Just tell the man that you suddenly developed a thing about high flying
Cause if you say goodbye to me you know you're gonna break my mind
Break my mind
Break my mind
Well I just can't stand to hear the big jet engines whine
Break my mind
Break my mind oh lord
Well if you leave you're gonna leave a babbling fool behind
Break my mind
Break my mind
Well I just can't stand to hear the big jet engines whine
Break my mind
Break my mind oh lord
Well if you leave you're gonna leave a babbling fool behind
Well if you leave you're gonna leave a babbling fool behind
Sit by my window watch the rain
I hear it beatin' on my window pane
All the troubles I had
Bet no one ever hurt this bad
My baby left me all alone
Wait for a letter sit by the phone
It makes me so sad
Cause no one ever hurt this bad
Since you went away
I can't face the day
Night brings nothing but pain
I thought I could go on
I see that I was wrong
Baby please come home
I just can't to be alone
Somebody somewhere hear my plea
Send my baby home to me
It would make me so glad
Cause no one ever hurt this bad
Since you went away
I can't face the day
Night brings nothing but pain
I thought I could go on
I see that I was wrong
Baby please come home
Well I can't stand to be alone
Somebody somewhere hear my plea
Send my baby home to me
It would make me so glad
Cause no one ever hurt this bad
Sit by my window watch the rain
I hear it beatin' on my window pane
Sit by my window watch the rain
I hear it beatin' on my window pane
There's somebody waiting alone in the street
For someone to walk up and greet
Here you are all alone in the city
Where's the love that you took to your side
Lonely faces will stare through your eyes in the night
And they'll say
Woman sweet woman
Please come home with me
You're shining and willing and free
But your love is a common occurrence
Not like love that I feel in my heart
Still you know that may be what I need
Is someone to lay down beside me
And even though it's not real
Just someone to lay down beside me
You're the story of my life
Someone to lay down beside me
And even though it's not real
Just someone to lay down beside me
You're the story of my life
The morning is breaking
The street lights are off
The sun will soon share all the cost
Of a world that can be sort of heartless
Not like love that I feel in my heart
Still you know that may be all you'll get
Is someone to lay down beside you
And even though it's not real
Just someone to lay down beside you
You just can't ask for more
Words and Music by Warren Zevon
Well I lay my head
on the railroad track
Waiting on the Double E
But the train don't run
by here no more
Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor pitiful me
Oh these boys won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe woe is me
Well I met a man out in Hollywood
Now I ain't naming names
Well he really worked me over good
Just like Jesse James
Yes he really worked me over good
He was a credit to his gender
Put me through some changes Lord
Sort of like a Waring blender
Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor pitiful me
Oh these boys won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe woe is me
Well I met a boy in the Vieux Carres
Down in Yokohama
He picked me up and he threw me down
He said "Please don't hurt me Mama"
Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor pitiful me
Oh these boys won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe woe is me
Poor poor poor me
Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor poor me
Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor poor me
I know you
Don't know what I'm going through
Standing here looking at you
Well let me tell you that it hurts so bad
It makes me feel so sad
It makes me hurt so bad to see you again
Like needles and pins
People say you've been making out okay
He's in love don't stand in his way
Well let me tell you that it hurts so bad
It makes me feel so sad
It's gonna hurt so bad if you walk away
Why don't you stay and let me make it up to you
I'll do anything you want me to
You loved me before please love me again
I can't let you go back to her
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't go
Hurt so bad
Come back it hurts so bad
Don't make it hurt so bad
I'm begging you please
Oooooh oh oh oh
Come back it hurts so bad
Come back it hurts so bad
I'm begging you please
Oh! No!
Noooooo!
Oh well oh well I feel so good today
We just touched ground on an international runway
Jet-propelled back home from overseas to the USA
New York, Los Angeles
Oh how I yearn for you
Detroit, Chicago, Chattanooga, Baton Rouge
God I long to be at my home back in old St Lou
Did I miss the skyscrapers
Did I miss the long freeway
From the coast of California
To the shores of the Delaware Bay
You can bet your life I did
Till I got back to the USA
Looking hard for a drive-in
Searching for a corner cafe
Where hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day
Yeah, and the jukebox jumping with records back in the USA
I'm so glad I'm living in the USA
Yes I'm so glad I'm living in the USA
Anything you want we got it right here in the USA
Ah we're so glad we're living in the USA
Yes we're so glad we're living in the USA
Anything you want we got it right here in the USA
Ah we're so glad
We're so glad
Ah we're so glad
We're so glad
Love is a rose but you better not pick it
Only grows when it's on the vine
Handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it
Lose your love when you say the word mine
I wanna see what's never been seen
I wanna live that age-old dream
Come on boy let's go together
Let's take the best right now
Love is a rose but you better not pick it
Only grows when it's on the vine
Handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it
Lose your love when you say the word mine
I wanna go to an old hoedown
Long ago in a western town
Pick me up 'cause my feet are dragging
Give me a lift and I'll hay your wagon
Love is a rose but you better not pick it
Only grows when it's on the vine
Handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it
Lose your love when you say the word mine
Love is a rose but you better not pick it
Only grows when it's on the vine
Handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it
Lose your love when you say the word mine
Mine
Love is a rose
Love is a rose

Whenever I'm with him
Something inside starts to burning
And I'm filled with desire
Could it be the devil in me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?
It's like a heat wave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from crying
It's tearing me apart
Whenever he calls my name
Soft, low, sweet and plain, I feel, yeah yeah
Well I feel that burning flame
Has high blood pressure got a hold on me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?
It's like a heat wave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from crying
It's tearing me apart
Sometimes I stare into space
Tears all over my face
I can't explain it don't understand it
I hadn't ever felt like this before
Now that funny feeling has me amazed
I don't know what to do my head's in a haze
It's like a heat wave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from crying
It's tearing me apart
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, oh
Don't pass up this chance
This time it's true romance
Heat wave
Heat wave
Heat wave
I know something about love
You gotta want it bad
If that guy's got into your blood
Go out and get him
If you want him to be
The very part of you
Makes you want to breathe
Here's the thing to do
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him tell him tell him tell him right now
I know something about love
You gotta show him
And make him see the moon up above
Go out and get him
If you want him to be
Always by your side
If you want him to
Only think of you
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him tell him tell him tell him right now
Ever since the world began
It's been that way for men
And women were created
To make love their destiny
They why should true love be
So complicated oh
I know something about love
You've gotta take him
And show him what the world is made of
One kiss could prove it
If you want him to be
Always by your side
Take his hand tonight
Swallow your foolish pride
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him tell him tell him tell him right now

People gonna talk about the things you do,
they're gonna talk, be it a lie or truth.
Night and day, day or night,
they're gonna talk, be it wrong or right.
People gonna talk about you, anyway;
They're gonna talk, no matter what you say.
Night or day, day or night,
They're gonna talk, be it wrong or right.
Seems they've just got to yakety, yakety, yak.
Though they know best not to,
the minute you turn your back.
People gonna talk until they're satisfied;
They're gonna talk until they make you cry.
Near or far, here and now,
Yeah yeah ueah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah ye-ah
I knew you when you were lonely
I knew you when you were only
A boy all alone without love
I knew you when
I knew you when
You were sad and all alone
You didn't have anyone
That you could call your own
I knew you when
Your heart belonged to only me
But that was many tears ago
Now your love is just a memory
Yeah yeah yeah ye-ah
I knew you when you were lonely
I knew you when you were only
A boy all alone without love
I knew you when
I knew you when
We used to have a lot of fun
But someone came and offered more
Now I'm the lonely one
I knew you when
I was just a scared little girl
I used to be your only love
Before you came up in the world
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah ye-ah
I knew you when you were lonely
I knew you when you were only
A boy all alone without love
En estas horas de tristeza infinita
Cuando tu ausencia pesa mas en mi vida
Cuantos recuerdos
Llenan mi alma dormida
Aquellos besos ue quemaban mis labios
Aquellos cosas que temblando decias
Dónde han quedado
Dimelo vida mia
Ya estoy cansada de esparar
Y de llorar
Y ya no puedo soportar
Mi soledad
Y sin embargo yo te sigo queriendo
Y por quererte ya estoy enloqueciendo
Y poco a poco
Me olvido de vivir
Ya estoy cansada de esparar
Y de llorar
Y ya no puedo soportar
Mi soledad
Y sin embargo yo te sigo queriendo
Y por quererte ya estoy enloqueciendo
Y poco a poco
Me olvido de vivir
He's a fool and don't I know it
But a fool can have his charms
I'm in love and don't I show it
Like a babe in arms
Love's the same old sad sensation
Lately I've not slept a wink
Since this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
I'm wild again
Beguiled again
A simpering whimpering child again
Bewitched bothered and bewildered am I
Couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep
When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched bothered and bewildered am I
Lost my heart but what of it
He is cold I agree
He can laugh but I love it
Although the laugh's on me
I'll sing to him each spring to him
And long for the day when I'll cling to him
Bewitched bothered and bewildered am I
Men are not a new sensation
I've done pretty well I think
But this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
I've sinned a lot
I'm mean a lot
But now I'm like seventeen a lot
Bewitched bothered and bewildered am I

Can't you see he doesn't care
He likes to play with you that's all
He's waiting on someone else's call
He's playing it cool
Why's it so hard to reach you?
Why are you still out there
Beating your heart against the wall
Waiting for Jericho to fall
You hard-headed fool
Didn't your mama teach you
Anything at all
You can't treat the wrong man right
Or change a devil to an angel overnight
He'll wreck all your best laid plans for spite
You can't treat the wrong man right
You can't treat the right man wrong
When you're out on the town
Acting mean and head-strong
He'll sit home and wait for you all night long
You can't treat the right man wrong
I heard it on the telephone
A woman was whispering in my ear
And though I was trying not to hear
The message came through
She was someone who knew you
I guess she told me everything
I wasn't listening anyway
I know she had a lot to say
But nothing was clear
I only remember her voice
Above the sound of the pinball
Saying to me
You can't treat the wrong man right
Or change a devil to an angel overnight
He'll steal all your love and and fly by night
You can't treat the wrong man right
You can't treat the right man wrong
You can run all the way from here to Hong Kong
And he'll be waiting when you come back in sight
You can't treat the right man wrong
You can't treat the wrong man right

Qu dirn los de tu casa
Cuando mi miran tomando,
Pensarn que por tu causa
Yo me vivo emborrachando,
Y ndale...
Pero si vieras
Como son lindas estas borracheras
Y ndale...
(Coro)
Pero hasta cuando
Dejan tus padres de andarte cuidando
Y ndale...
Cada vez que vengo a verte
Siempre me voy resbalando;
O es que tengo mala suerte
O es que me est lloviznando
Y ndale...
Pero si vieras
Seco mi chaco en mi higuera floreando
Y ndale...
(Coro)
Pero si cuando
Seco mi chaco en mi higuera floreando
Y ndale...
Me dices que soy un necio
Porque me ando emborrachando,
Y a pesar de tus deprecios,
Yo quiero seguir tomando, y ndale
Pero si vieras
Como son lindas estas borracheras...
Y ndale...
(Coro)
Pero que bellas
Paso las horas vaciando botellas
Y ndale.
I am a renowned teetotaler, but I love
this drinking song. The use of the word
chaco is unusual (it has been defined as
organ meat of hunted fowl) and the exact
meaning of the refrain it appears in
probably has a double connotation. I
have opted to sing it here with my niece,
Mindy, who at 17 brings a lovely innocence
to this tale of gleeful debauchery.
L.R.
Get On With It
What will they say those in your house
When they see me drinking,
Will they think that it's on account of you
That I live my life drinking
Get on with it.
But if you could see
How pretty these binges are
Get on with it.
(Chorus)
But until whenever
Your parents stop protecting you
Get on with it.
Each time that I come to see you
I'm always slipping;
Is it that I have bad luck
Or is it that it's drizzling on me,
Get on with it.
But if you could see
Me dry my chaco in my flowering fig tree grove
Get on with it.
(Chorus)
But if ever
I dry my chaco in my flowering fig tree grove,
Get on with it.
You say that I'm a fool,
Because i'm always getting drunk,
And in spite of your scorn,
I want to keep on drinking,
Get on with it.
But if you were to see
How pretty these binges are,
Get on with it.
(Chorus)
But how beautiful
Are the hours I spend emptying bottles,
Get on with it.

I been warped by the rain, driven by the snow
I'm drunk and dirty, don't you know
But I'm still willin'
Out on the road late last night
I'd see my pretty Alice in every headlight
Alice, Dallas Alice
And I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonopah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Driven the backroads so I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me weed, whites and wine
And you show me a sign
And I'll be willin' to be movin'
And I've been kicked by the wind, robbed by the sleet
Had my head stove in but I'm still on my feet
And I'm still willin'
And I smuggled some smokes and folks from Mexico
Baked by the sun every time I go to Mexico
Ah but I'm still...
And I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonopah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Driven the backroads so I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me weed, whites and wine
And you show me a sign
And I'll be willin' to be movin'
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
Like dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and pulls you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dream comes true
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and pulls you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
Well I wake up in the night now
And don't you know I think of you
It's the fire in your eyes
That keeps on cutting through
There's nowhere I can run to
Can't seem to lose the thought of you
I never really was a bad girl
But you got me in trouble again
Well I used to walk the straight line
I knew what I was doing all the time
There was nothing left to move me
I always held my ground
But you got me where you want me
And now you're always here to haunt me
I never really was a bad girl
But you got me in trouble again
I still remember how it felt when you put your arms around me
But if I thought you could love me, I was blind
But you got me where you want me
And now you're always here to haunt me
I never really was a bad girl
But you got me in trouble again
Well you'd think I would've learned by now
And I'd keep away from you somehow
Just like a little child
I keep coming back for more
But baby when you come today
Don't you know that I'll come out and play
I never really was a bad girl
But you got me in trouble again
I never really was a bad girl
But you got me in trouble again
Woah I never really was a bad girl
But you got me in trouble again
Watching the long faces
Riding this run down track
And the lost places
From a dream that never brings them back
And the sad truth is
Nothing but a cold hard fact
I'm riding the blue train
Over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train
Counting the burned bridges
Trailing this rusted wreck
As our back pages
Scatter in the dust we left
Like a pearl necklace
Falling from around my neck
I'm riding the blue train
Over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train
Away down the low road
A ticket to an empty room
A rendezvous unknown
I'm riding the blue train
Over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
And I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train
I'm riding the blue train
Over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train

Te quiero dijiste
Tomando mis manos
Entre tus manitas
De blanco marfil
Y sent en mi pecho
Un fuerte latido
Despus un suspiro
Y luego el chasquido
De un beso febril
Muñequita linda
De cabellos de oro
Dos dientes de perla
Labios de rub
Dime si me quieres
Como yo te adoro
Si de m te acuerdas
Como yo de ti
A veces escucho
Un eco divino
Que envuelto en la brisa
Parece decir
S te quiero mucho
Mucho mucho mucho
Tanto como entonces
Siempre hasta morir
A veces escucho
Un eco divino
Que envuelto en la brisa
Parece decir
S te quiero mucho
Mucho mucho mucho
Tanto como entonces
Siempre hasta morir
A veces escucho
Un eco divino
Que envuelto en la brisa
Parece decir
S te quiero mucho
Mucho mucho mucho
Tanto como entonces
Siempre hasta morir
Siempre hasta morir
Siempre hasta morir
Te Quiero Dijiste
(I Love You, You Said)
"I love you," you said
Taking my hands
Into your little hands
Of white ivory
And I felt in my chest
A heavy pang
Then a sigh
And next the spark
Of a feverish kiss
Pretty little doll
Of golden hair
Two teeth of pearls
Ruby lips
Tell me if you love me
As I love you
If you remember me
As I do you
Sometimes I hear
A divine echo
Enveloped in the wind
It seems to say
Yes, I really love you
So very much
As much as then
Until I die

Miro como ando mujer
Por tu querer
Borracho y apasionado
No ms por tu amor.
Mira como ando mi bien
Muy dado a la borrachera
Y a la perdicin.
T slo t
Has llenado de luto mi vida
Abriendo una herida en mi corazn
T... t slo t
Eres causa de todo mi llanto
De mi descanto y desesperacin.
Slo tu sombra fatal
Sombra de mal
Me sigue por dondequiera
Con ostinacin
Y por quererte olvidar
Me tiro a la borrachera
Y a la perdicin.
Tu Solo Tu is a famous cancion ranchera
written by Felipe Valdez Leal. It was sung
by Pedro Infante as well as Las Hermanas
Padillas in the late 1930's, early 1940's.
A more contemporary version exists by
Maria Dolores Pradera, a favorite singer
of mine, who is from Spain. L.R.
You Only You
Look how I'm going around, woman
Because of your love
Drunk and impassioned
Only for your love.
Look how I'm going around, my love
Given to drinking
And utter ruin.
You... only you
Have filled my life with sorrow
Opening a wound in my heart
You... you only you
Are the cause of all my weeping
Of my disillusionment and desperation.
Only your fatal shadow
Shadow of evil
Stubbornly follows me
Wherever I go
And by trying to forget my love for you
I throw myself into drunkenness
And utter ruin.

There's a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we're often told, seek and ye shall find
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
He's the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me
Although he may not be the man
Some girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead
Oh how I need
Someone to watch over me
Someone to watch over me
I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room
All I want's the love you promised beneath the haloed moon
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheating game
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money cause I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money cause I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine

La huasteca est de luto
Se muri su huapanguero.
Ya no se oye aquel falsete
Que es el alma del trovero.
Rogaciano se llamaba
Rogaciano el huapanguero
Y eran sones de la sierra
Las canciones del trovero.
La Azucena y la Cecilia
Lloran, lloran sin consuelo
Malagueña Salerosa
Ya se fue su pregonero.
El cañal est en su punto
Hoy comienza la molienda
El trapiche est de duelo
Y suspira en cada vuelta.
Por los verdes cafetales
Ms all de aquel potrero
Hay quien dice que de noche
Se aparece el huapanguero.
La Azucena y la Cecilia
Lloran, lloran sin consuelo
Malagueña Salerosa
Ya se fue su huapanguero.
This moody, beautifully haunting huapango
was written by Valeriano Trejo, who, according
to Rubn Fuentes, is a school teacher.
Fuentes recorded it in the 1950's with Miguel
Aceves Meja, another hero of mine. It is one
of the songs my brothers and I used to try to
harmonize when we were growing up, so I asked
them to sing it with me on the record. After
knowing it for so long, we've finally learned
all the words!
It is a tale of the huasteca, a region north
of Vera Cruz, Mexico, where the sones huastecos
(usually called huapangos) are sung. (See notes
on La Calandria for definition of sones.) A
huapanguero is a singer of huapangos. The style
is characterized by falsetto breaks in the
singing. L.R.
Rogaciano
La huasteca* is in mourning
Its huapanguero has died
You can no longer hear that falsetto
Which is the soul of the troubadour.
Rogaciano he was called
Rogaciano the huapanguero*
And they were sones of the sierra
mountains
The songs of the troubadours.
Azucena and Cecilia
Are crying, crying inconsolably
Malagueña Salerosa*
Their bard has gone.
The cane is ready
Today begins the milling
The sugar mill is in mourning
And sighs with each turn.
In the green coffee plantations
Far beyond that pasture
There are those who say that in the
nighttime
The huapanguero appears.
Azucena and Cecilia
Are crying, crying inconsolably
Malagueña Salerosa*
Their bard has left.
*huasteca: a region

(Cinnamon Skin)
Let the universe be without stars
Or the wide sea lose its immensity
But don't ever let the blackness of your eyes die
And keep the cinnamon of your skin as it is
If the rainbow were to lose its beauty
And the flowers their perfume and color
My sadness wouldn't be as great
As it would be without yourlove
Your are my everything
You
And you alone
You are all that matters
You
And no one else
Black eyes, cinnamon skin
That make me despair
You are everything...

"‡y, qu?laureles tan verdes!
"-u?rosas tan encendidas!
Si piensas abandonarme mejor quitame la vida;
Alza los ojos a verme
Si no est†comprometido.
Eres mata de algod‡
Que vives en el capullo;
Ay, qu?tristeza me da
Cuando te llenas de orgullo
De ver a mi coraz‡
Enredado con el tuyo!
Eres rosa de castilla
Que s„o en mayo se ve
Quisiera hacerte un invite,
Pero la verda no s?
Si tiene quiâ-Å¡ te lo evite,
Mejor me separar?
Por "ai" va la despedida,
Chinito por tus quereres
La perdici‡ de los hombres
Son las benditas mujeres;
Y aqu?se acaban cantando
Los versos de los laureles.
This ranchera is a standard for all
mariachis and dates back to the 1920's
or 1930's. It is supposed to have been
written by Consuelo Vel†quez; it was
common, especially during the Mexican
Revolution in 1910, for women to write
songs and include the couplets that men
customarily used. This would explain the
line, la perdici‡ de los hombres son las
maldites mujeres (cursed women), in the
original version. L.R.
The Laurels
written by Jos?L‰ez
Ay, how green the laurels are!
What fiery roses!
If you're thinking of leaving me better
to take away my life;
Lift your eyes to look at me
If you are not engaged to be married.
You are a sprig of cotton
That lives in the bud;
Ay, what sadness I feel
When you fill yourself with haughtiness
Upon seeing my heart
Entangled with yours!
You are a rose from Castille
That can only be seen in May
I would like to invite you,
But in truth I don't know
If there is someone in the way
Better that I go away.
So goes the farewell
Chinito, to your affections
The Blessed women
Are the ruin of men;
And here ends the singing
Of the verses of the laurels

Love will abide, take things in stride
Sounds like good advice but there's no one at my side
And time washes clean love's wounds unseen
That's what someone told me but I don't know what it means.
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time
Caught in my fears
Blinking back the tears
I can't say you hurt me when you never let me near
And I never drew one response from you
All the while you fell all over girls you never knew
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think it's gonna hurt me for a long long time
Wait for the day
You'll go away
Knowing that you warned me of the price I'd have to pay
And life's full of flaws
Who knows the cause?
Living in the memory of a love that never was
Cause I've done everything I know to try and change your mind
and I think I'm gonna miss you for a long long time
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time.

Ya no me cantes cigarra
Que acabe tu sonsonete
Que tu canto aqui en el alma
Como un punal se me mete
Sabiendo que cuando cantas
Pregonando vas tu muerte.
Marinero marinero
Dime si es verdad que sabes
Porque distinguir no puedo
Si en el fondo de los mares
Hay otro color mas negro
Que el color de mis pesares.
Un palomito al volar
Que llevaba el pecho herido
Ya casi para llorar
Me dijo muy afligido.
Ya me canso de buscar
Un amor correspondido.
Bajo la sombra de un arbol
Y al compas de mi guitarra
Canto alegre este huapango
Porque la vida se acaba
Y quiero morir cantando

There you go and baby here am I
Well you left me here so I could sit and cry
Golly gee what have you done to me
Well I guess it doesn't matter anymore
Do you remember baby last September
How you held me tight each and every night
Oh baby how you drove me crazy
But I guess it doesn't matter anymore
There's no use in me a-crying
I've done everything now I'm sick of trying
I've thrown away my nights
Wasted all my days over you
Now you go your way baby and I'll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time
I'll find somebody new and baby
We'll say we're through
And you won't matter anymore
There's no use in me a-crying
I've done everything now I'm sick of trying
I've thrown away my nights
Wasted all my days over you
Now you go your way baby and I'll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time
And I'll find somebody new and baby
We'll say we're through
And you won't matter anymore
No you won't matter anymore
You won't matter anymore

Love it's not I
Who didn't try
Hard enough
Hard enough
And this is why
I'm saying goodbye
I've had enough
I've had enough
Love you don't see
The pain in me
That's plain enough
Plain enough
You're never here
To catch the tears
I cried for us
I cried for us
I'll take my share
But I'll be fair
There's not much stuff
Easy enough
And if you choose
I'll break the news
This part is tough
So very tough
I've tried and tried
To put aside
The time to talk
But without luck
So I'll just pin this note
Within your coat
And leave the garden gate unlocked
And this is why
I'm saying goodbye
I've had enough
I've had enough

I'm a fool to want you
I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too
I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss the devil has known
Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
Then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I'd have to say
I'm a fool to want you
Pity me, I need you
I know it's wrong
It must be wrong
But right or wrong
I can't get along
Without you
Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
Then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I'd have to say
I'm a fool to want you
Pity me, I need you
I know it's wrong
It must be wrong
But right or wrong
I can't get along
Without you

I've been alone too long
Sitting by myself
I'm getting to old
To help myself
But I won't be hangin round your door
Begging
No I won't be hangin round
To feel the pain
And if you take my life in hand
And finally make me understand
It won't do no good
You'll just hurt my plan
And I won't be hangin round your door
Begging
No I won't be hangin rond
To feel the pain
Sometimes I think I can't go on
And every day I live
Well it seems like my life's unreal
Sometimes I think I won't live too long
But I hope I'm wrong
That's the way I feel
And I won't be hangin round your door
Begging
No I won't be hangin round
To steal a kiss
I won't be hanging round your door
Begging
No i won't be hangin round
To feel the pain
No I won't be hangin round your door
Begging
Oh I won't be hangin round
To feel the pain

Darling, been to see the preacher man
Darling darling, started making wedding plans
Your lips set my soul on fire
To be with you that's my one desire
Oh darling
Think it's gonna work out fine
Darling, started getting next to me
Darling, though about how this could be
Ooee
If your love is half as true
As the love I'm offering you
Oh darling, I think it's gonna work out fine
Think it's gonna work out fine
Know it's gonna work out fine
Think it's gonna work out fine
I'm so glad that you're mine all mine
Do you remember they used to call you Dapper Dan
Way back when I was the killer and everybody's loving man
Whole lotta women used to be my speed
Now pretty baby you're all I need
Oh darling, think it's gonna work out fine
He's so, I'm so, we're so glad when we remember
Used to call me Dapper Dan yeah
Way back when you were the killer and everybody's loving man
Whole lotta women used to be my speed
Now pretty baby you're all I need
Oh darling, think it's gonna work out fine
Think it's gonna work out fine
Know it's gonna work out fine
Think it's gonna work out fine
Think, think, work out fine
Think, think, work out fine
You've got to think, think, work out fine
I think it's gonna work out
Yeah it's gonna work out
Know it's gonna work out fine

I just don't know what to do with myself
Don't know just what to do with myself
I'm so used to doing everything with you
Planning everything for two
And now that we're through
I just don't know what to do with my time
I'm so lonesome for you it's a crime
Going to a movie only makes me sad
Parties make me feel as bad
When I'm not with you
I just don't know what to do
Like a summer rose needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love to ease all the pain
I don't know just what to do with myself
I don't know just what to do with myself
Baby if your new love ever turns you down
Come back I will be around
Just waiting for you
I don't know what else to do
Like a summer rose needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love to ease all the pain
I don't know just what to do with myself
I don't know just what to do with myself
Baby if your new love ever turns you down
Come on back I will be around
Just waiting for you
I don't know what else to do
No no no
I don't know what else to do
I'm just so crazy for you
No no no no
I don't know what else to do
I don't know whaaaat else to do

I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except when soft rains fall
And drip from leaves
Then I recall
The thrill of being sheltered in your arms
Of course I do
But I get along without you very well
I've forgotten you just like I should
Of course I have
Except to hear your name
Or someone's laugh that is the same
But I've forgotten you just like I should
What a guy
What a fool am I
To think my breaking heart could kid the moon
What's in store
Should I fall once more
No it's best that I stick to my tune
I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except perhaps in spring
But I should never think of spring
For that would surely break my heart in two
What's in store
Should I fall once more
No it's best that I stick to my tune
I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except perhaps in spring
But I should never think of spring
For that would surely break my heart in two

Last night as I lay on the boxcar
Just waiting for a train to pass by
What will become of the hobo
Whenever his time comes to die
There's a Master up yonder in heaven
Got a place that we might call our home
Will we have to work for a living
Or can we continue to roam
Will there be any freight trains in heaven
Any boxcars in which we might hide
Will there be any tough cops or brakemen
Will they tell us that we cannot ride
Will the hobo chum with the rich man
Will we always have money to spare
Will they have respect for the hobo
In that land that lies hidden up there
Will there be any freight trains in heaven
Any boxcars in which we might hide
Will there be any tough cops or brakemen
Will they tell us that we cannot ride
Will the hobo chum with the rich man
Will we always have money to spare
Will they have respect for the hobo
In that land that lies hidden up there

Hey mister that's me up on the jukebox
I'm the one singing this sad song
And I cry every time that you slip in one more dime
And play me singing the sad one one more time
Southern California, that's as blue as a girl can be
Blue as the deep blue sea, won't you listen to me now
I need your golden gated cities like a hole in my head
Just like a hole in my head, I'm free
Hey mister that's me up on the jukebox
I'm the one singing this sad song
And I cry every time that you slip in one more dime
And play me singing the sad one one more time
Do believe I'll go back home
Hey mister can't you see that I'm dry as a bone
I think I'll spend some time alone
Unless you find a way of squeezing water from a stone
We'll let the doctor and the lawyer do as much as they can
Let the springtime begin, let the boy become a man
I have wasted too much time just to sing you this sad song
I have been this lonesome picker just a little too long
Hey mister that's me up on the jukebox
I'm the one singing this sad song
And I cry every time that you slip in one more dime
And play me singing the sad one one more time
Well I've been spreading myself thin these days

The torch I carry is handsome
It's worth its heartache in ransom
And when the twilight steals
I know how the lady in the harbor feels
When I want rain I get sunny weather
I'm just as blue as the sky
Since love is gone can't pull myself together
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
Friends ask me out
I tell them I'm busy
I must get a new alibi
I stay at home and ask myself where is he
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
Dry little teardrops
Hanging on a string of dreams
Fly little memories
My little memories
Remind him of our crazy schemes
Somebody said just forget about him
So I gave that treatment a try
Strangely enough I got along without him
Then one day he passed me right by
Oh well I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
Oh we never know where life will take us
I know it's just a ride on the wheel
And we never know when death will shake us
And we wonder how it will feel
So goodbye my friend
I know I'll never see you again
But the time together through all the years
Will take away these tears
It's okay now
Goodbye my friend
I've seen a lot things that make me crazy
And I guess I held on to you
We could've run away and left well maybe
But it wasn't time and we both knew
So goodbye my friend
I know I'll never see you again
But the love you gave me through all the years
Will take away these tears
I'm okay now
Goodbye my friend
Life's so fragile and love's so pure
We can't hold on but we try
We watch how quickly it disappears
And we never know why
But I'm okay now
Goodbye my friend
You can go now
Goodbye my friend

Bsame t a mi
Bsame igual que mi boca te bes
Dame el frenes
Que mi locura te dio
Quin si no fui yo
Pudo enseñarte el camino del amor
Muerta mi altivez
Cuando mi orgullo rod
A tu pies
Quiero que vivas slo para mi
Y que t vayas por donde yo voy
Para que mi alma sea noms de ti
Bsame con frenes
Dame la luz que tiene tu mirar
Y la ansiedad que entre tus labios vi
Esa locura de vivir y amar
Que es ms que amor frenes
Hay en el beso que te di
Alma piedad corazn
Dime que sabes t sentir
Lo mismo que siento yo
Quiero que vivas slo para m
Y que tu vayas pro donde yo voy
Para que mi alma sea noms de ti
Bsame con frenes
Hay en el beso que te di
Alma piedad corazn

Frenes
(Frenzy)
Kiss me
Kiss me the way my mouth kissed you
Give me the frenzy
That my madness gave you
Who if not I
Could teach you the road to love
My pride died
When it tumbled
At your feet
I want you to live just for me
And go where I go
So that my soul belongs only to you
Kiss me with a frenzy
Give me the light of your gaze
And the trembling of your lips
That madness of living and loving
That is more a frenzy than love
In the kiss that I gave you there is
Soul, piety, heart
Tell me that you know how to feel
The same way I feel.
I want you to live just for me
And go where I go
So that my soul belongs only to you
Kiss me with a frenzy

Something in your eyes
Makes me want to lose myself
Makes me want to lose myself
In your arms
There's something in your voice
Makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts
The rest of my life
If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've felt so low
If you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back
Where I come from
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back
Where I belong
A window breaks
Down a long dark street
And a siren wails
In the night
But I'm alright
'Cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see
Through the dark there's light
If you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
If you know how happy you are making me
I've never thought, I'd love anyone so much
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back
Where I come from
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back
Where I belong
Feels like I'm all the way back

Por un camino sin rumbo
Vagaba en el mundo
Mi atormentado corazn
Y al encontrarte perdido
Cre olvidar lo sufrido
Fui de ti y t de m
Pero no nos comprendimos
Y en un instante olvidamos
Lo que tanto prometimos
Hoy qu abandonada y triste
Voy por el mismo camino
Tengo miedo de encontrarme
Otro amor desconocido
Porque me pongo a pensar
Que caminando entre abismos
Si t me hiciste llorar
Otro amor hara lo mismo
Hoy que abandonada y triste
Voy por el mismo camino
Tengo miedo de encontrarme
Otro amor desconocido
Porque me pongo a pensar
Que caminando entre abismos
Si t me hiciste llorar
Otro amor hara lo mismo
Por un camino sin rumbo
Vaga mi corazn
Porque te har lo mismo
Fui de ti y t de m
Pero no nos comprendimos
Porque te har lo mismo
En un instante olvidamos
Lo que tanto prometimos
Porque te har lo mismo
Si vuelvo contigo
Seguir entre abismos
Porque te har lo mismo
Entre Abismos
(Between Abysses)
Along a road without direction
My tormented heart
Wandered through the world
I was lost
But when I found you
I thought I could forget my suffering
I was yours and you were mine
But we didn't understand each other
And we quickly forgot
All that we had promised each other
Now how abandoned and sad
I go along the same road
Afraid of meeting
Another unknown love
Because I think
That I'm walking between abysses
If you made me cry
Another love would do the same

I heard some talk around this town
Talk about you and me
How a fool fell out of love with you
Wanted to be free
Well that's easy for you to say
That I don't know what I'm doing
That I've thrown our love away
And left my life in ruin
That's easy for you to say
I read your letter again
I'm sure you know the one
Goodbye, you said like a coward
It'll be better in the long run
Well that's easy for you to say
That I don't know what I'm doing
That I've thrown our love away
Left my life in ruin
That's easy for you to say
Go back to her again
Back to the way you were
She's a damn sight better for you
You're a damn sight better for her
Well that's easy for you to say
That I don't know what I'm doing
When you've thrown our love away
Left my life in ruin
That's easy for you to say

I say I'll move the mountains
And I'll move the mountains
If he wants them out of the way
Crazy he calls me
Sure I'm crazy
Crazy in love I'd say
I say I'll go through fire
And I'll go through fire
As he wants it so it shall be
Crazy he calls me
Sure I'm crazy
Crazy in love you see
Like the wind that shakes the bough
He moves me with a smile
The difficult I'll do right now
The impossible will take a little while
I say I'll care forever
And I mean forever
If I have to hold up the sky
Crazy he calls me
Sure I'm crazy
Crazy in love am I
Like the wind that shakes the bough
He moves me with a smile
The difficult I'll do right now
The impossible will take a little while
I say I'll care forever
And I mean forever
If I have to hold up the sky
Crazy he calls me
Sure I'm crazy
Crazy in love am I
Old man sunshine listen you
Never tell me dreams come true
Just try it and I'll start a riot
Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare
Ever tell me he will care
I'm certain it's the final curtain
I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas
Who tell you fate supplies a mate
It's all bananas
They're writing songs of love but not for me
A lucky star's above but not for me
With love to lead the way I've found more clouds of gray
Than any Russian play could guarantee
I was a fool to fall and get that way
Hi-ho.. alas... and also lack-a-day
Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss
I guess he's not for me
I was a fool to fall and get that way
Hi-ho.. alas... and also lack-a-day
Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss

I'm gonna plant me some seed
Grow me an ocean
Cut me some trees
And build me an island
Stand on the corner
Flag down a streetcar
Go somewhere and phone him
And ask him where my thoughts are
I'm gonna say to him
Are my thoughts with you babe
How twisted, babe, are they
Since you went away, babe
I ain't been thinking too straight
And if that don't get through
I'm gonna build me a flower
Sit down in the morning dew
And kiss it every hour
I'm gonna turn out the lights
Turn on the night
Give up the fight
Go for a flight
Catch me a kite
Who cares what's right or wrong
When I get to the moon
Rent me a room
Sit in the gloom
All alone
And cry are my thoughts with you babe
How twisted, babe, are they
You know, since you went away, babe
I ain't been thinking too straight
I'm gonna turn out the lights
Turn on the night
Give up the fight
Go for a flight
Catch me a kite
Who cares what's right or wrong
When I get to the moon
Rent me a room
Sit in the gloom
All alone
And cry are my thoughts with you babe
Hearts call
Hearts fall
Swallowed in the rain
Who knows
Life grows
Hollow and so vain
Wandering in the winter light
The wicked and the sane
Bear witness to salvation
And life starts over again
Now the clear sky is all around you
Aah aah
Love's shadow will surround you
All through the night
Star glowing in the twilight
Tell me true
Hope whispers and I will follow
Till you love me too
Ah ah ah
Now the clear sky is all around you
Aah aah
Love's shadow will surround you
All through the night
Star glowing in the twilight
Tell me true
Hope whispers and I will follow
Till you love me too
Ah ah ah
When my friends told me you had someone new
I didn't believe a single word was true
I showed them all I had faith in you
I just kept on saying
Oh no not my baby
Oh no not my sweet baby
You're not like those other guys
Who lead you on and tell you lies
My mama told me when rumors spread
There's truth somewhere and I should use my head
But I didn't listen to a word she said
I kept right on saying
Oh no not my baby
Oh no not my sweet baby
You're not like those other boys
Who play with hearts like they were toys
Well you might have had a last minute fling
But I am sure it didn't mean a thing
Cause yesterday you gave me your ring
Now I'm glad that I kept on saying
Oh no not my baby
Oh no not my sweet baby
You're not like those other guys
Who lead you on and tell you lies
Oh no not my baby
Oh no not my sweet baby
Oh no not my baby
Oh no not my sweet baby
Love, love, where can you be?
Are you out there looking for me?
Love, love, where can you be?
Love, I am waiting
Heartbeats accelerating
Will you come when all is still
From the river or the hill

Love, I am waiting
Heartbeats accelerating

Anyone who ever loved could look at me
And know that I love you
Amyone who ever dreamed could look at me
And know I dream of you

Would take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart and hurt me
Like you hurt me and be so untrue
What am I to do
Every time you go away I always say
This time it's goodbye dear
Loving you the way I do I'd take you back
Without you I'd die dear
Knowing I love you so

Anyone who had a heart would surely take me
In his arms and always love me
Why won't you, yeah
Anyone who had a heart would love me too
Anyone who had a heart would surely take me
In his arms and always love me
Why won't you
Yeah
Anyone who had a heart would love me too
La madrugada me ve corriendo
Bajo el cielo que va dando color
No salgas sol a nombrarme
A la fuerza de la immigración
Un dolor que siento en el pecho
Es mi alma que sufre de amor
Pienso en ti y en tus brazos que esperan
Tus besos y tu pasión
Adónde voy, adónde voy
La esperanza es mi destinación
Solo estoy, solo estoy
Por el monte prófugo, voy
Dias, semanas, y meses
Paso muy lejos de ti
Muy pronto te llegará dinero
Yo te quiero tener junto a mi
El trabajo me llena las horas
Tu risa no puedo olividar
Vivir sin tu amor no es vida
Vivir de prófugo, igual
Adónde voy, adónde voy
La esperanza es mi destinación
Solo estoy, solo estoy
Por el monte prófugo, voy
Adónde voy, adónde voy
La esperanza es mi destination
Solo estoy, solo estoy
Por el monte prófugo, voy
I crossed on the river
There'll be no returning
I crossed all the bridges
I watched them all burning
And now I'm a stranger
To a strange land I'm driven
Where all is forgotten
And nothing's forgiven
But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'll ever swim
The heart it will harden
The sorrow will dim
But I cried a river
A river for him
I think of him now
On the road I am taking
And wonder how long
His heart will be breaking
But he'll never hear when
The teardrops are falling
Or the sound of my voice
Or the name I am calling
But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'll ever swim
The heart it will harden
The sorrow will dim
But I cried a river
A river for him
So weep for the sons
And the dear darling daughters
For the passing of time
And the parting of waters
For all who have passed through
This world long before me
To a far distant shore line
Where no one waits for me
But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'll ever swim
The heart it will harden
The sorrow will dim
But I cried a river
A river for him
To the east the factories stand
Like fire breathing dragons against the sky
And from their throats a scarlet river
Burns itself into smoky lullabies
Over neon and fluorescent skies
Valerie can you hear those engines drone
I wanted to go to Mexico
But I'm stranded here alone
And once I knew a true love
It's been three years since he's gone
And if I could get that feeling back
I'd give up everything I own
Sixteen days since I left Corona
And I traveled to this carnival town near Alberndeel
And I rode the coaster there on the fairground
Twisted backbone of a beast that never heals
And I left some skin on fortune's wheel
Valerie can you hear those engines drone
I wanted to go to Mexico
But I'm stranded here alone
And once I knew a true love
It's been three years since he's gone
And if I could get that feeling back
I'd give up everything I own
Everything's in slow motion now
In this little border town
I've come so close from so far
Just to hide behind these windows here
From the world outside
I watch those cars and trucks raise trails of dust
Down the road as they pass by
Valerie can you hear those engines drone
I wanted to go to Mexico
But I'm stranded here alone
And once I knew a true love
It's been three years since he's gone
And if I could get that feeling back
I'd give up everything I own
Everything I own
Everything I own
This is to mother you
To comfort you and get you through
Through when your nights are lonely
Through when your dreams are only blue
This is to mother you
This is to be with you
To hold you and to kiss you too
For when you need me I will do
What your own mother didn't do
Which is to mother you
All the pain that you have known
All the violence in your soul
All the wrong things you have done
I will take from you when I come
All mistakes made in distress
All your unhappiness
I will take away with my kiss
Yes I will give you tenderness
For child I am so glad I found you
Although my arms have always been around you
Sweet bird although you did not see me
I saw you
And I'm here to mother you
To comfort you and get you through
Through when your nights are lonely
Through when your dreams are only blue
This is to mother you
The wind is a warning
These fields turn to sand
My family will not answer me now
Damned, damned, damned, I am
Loving the highway man
Damned, damned, damned, I am
Loving the highway man
Damned, damned, damned, I am
Loving the highway man
Don't say where this ring came from
From whose shaking hand
Don't say who lies bleeding for me
Damned, damned, damned, I am
Loving the highway man
Damned, damned, damned, I am
Loving the highway man
Loving the highway man
There's a hole in the ceiling
There's no pleasure in my gain
My heart is in prison
Damned, damned, damned, I am
Loving the highway man
Damned, damned, damned, I am
Loving the highway man
She came on to him like a slow moving cold front
His beer was warmer than the look in her eye
She sat on a stool he said what do you want
She said give me a love that don't freeze up inside
He said I have melted some hearts in my time dear
But to sit next to you, lord I shiver and shake
And if I knew love, don't think I'd be here
Asking myself if I have what it takes
To melt your icy blue heart
Should I start
To turn what's been frozen for years
Into a river of tears
These days we all play cool calm and collected
Why, our lips could turn blue shootin' the breeze
But under the frost thought he detected
A warm blush of red and a touch of her knees
He said girl you've a beauty like I've never witnessed
And I've seen the northern lights dance in the air
But I've felt the cold follow the first kiss
And there's not enough heat in the fire burning there
To melt your icy blue heart
Should I start
To turn what's been frozen for years
Into a river of tears
To melt your icy blue heart
Should I start
To turn what's been frozen for years
Into a river of tears
Just give me a reason why we fuss and fight
Give me a reason why I have to spend these lonely nights
Is there a reason why you fall for other girls
When I thought I was the number one baby in your world
Give me a reason why you make me cry
Is there a reason why I have to spend these lonely nights
Tell me the reason why you tour around the world
And why in god's name you want to make me into your clown
Even though baby you did me wrong now baby
The feeling inside of me baby is so strong
I've tried in a million ways to make you happy
But I keep on wondering do you love me
Give me a reason
I need a reason
Is there a reason
If I give you the chance I know you would leave me now baby
After all we've been through, our plans about tomorrow
You've broken my heart, baby, you've ruined my soul
Is there a chance for me, tell me or let me go
Give me a reason why we fuss and fight
Is there a reason why I have to spend these lonely nights
Tell me the reason why you fall for other girls
When I thought I was the number one baby in your world
Just give me a reason why you make me cry
Is there a reason why I have to spend these lonely nights
Is there a reason why you tour around the world
And why in god's name do you make me into your clown
I'm sending you some money
I wish it could be more
But it's harder than I thought
To find the work I came here for
This place is just as pretty
As I pictured it to be
But a man in need of work's
An all too common sight to see
Each morning as the trucks roll in
A lucky few climb on
And the rest of us are left to wonder
Where the dream has gone
Where the dream has gone
They say the Sierra melts with the rain
To race through the valley like blood through the vein
Turning the lowland from golden to green
To harvest forever the dreams of the San Joaquin
Every day I struggle
With the distance and the fear
That I will not return
Or find a way to bring you here
My emptiness grows deeper
I feel my spirit fall
As night comes like a blanket
It brings no sleep at all
I only hope that time will find
A way to work things out
We will be together
In the life we dream about
Life we dream about
They say the Sierra melts with the rain
To race through the valley like blood through the vein
Turning the lowland from golden to green
To harvest forever the dreams of the San Joaquin
We'll harvest forever the dreams of the San Joaquin
I wasn't ready
I gave myself to you
Look at the damage
See what you put me through
I don't want to do what you want me to anymore
I won't feel better 'til I'm walking out of that door
Once you could stop me
Now I can say you won't
I will be going
I'm just afraid I don't
Know how I'm gonna get away from you
And I know I'm never gonna stay with you
Don't want to ever spend another day with you
Look at the damage you've done
Two can turn back into one
You hurt me so much
You'll never do that again
It's time to leave you
This has to come to an end
But I don't know how I'm gonna get away from you
And I know I'm never gonna stay with you
Don't think there's any other way to say to you
Look at the damage you've done
Look at the damage
Look at the damage
Look at the damage you've done
Two can turn back into one
Woah oh
Woah oh
Oh I know
Yes I know
Talking to you
Those memories of you still haunt me
Every night when I lay down
I'll always love you little darling
Until the day they lay me down
In dreams of you my body trembles
I wake up and call your name
But you're not there and I'm so lonesome
Without your love I'd go insane
Those memories of you still haunt me
Every night when I lay down
I'll always love you little darling
Until the day they lay me down
I close my eyes and you're there with me
Your kiss I feel your face I see
It's not your lips now that drive me crazy
It's just your haunting memory
Those memories of you still haunt me
Every night when I lay down
I'll always love you my little darling
Until the day they lay me down
Until the day they lay me down
Oh the pain of loving you
Oh the misery I go through
Never knowing what to do
Oh the pain of loving you
You just can't stand to see me happy
Seems you hurt me all you can
Still I go on loving you
But I never understand
Oh the pain of loving you
Oh the misery I go through
Never knowing what to do
Oh the pain of loving you
To love and hate at the same time
The line between the two is fine
The two have bound me heart and soul
So strong that I can't let you go
Oh the pain of loving you
Oh the misery I go through
Never knowing what to do
Oh the pain of loving you
Oh the pain of loving you
They say a woman's a fool for weeping
A fool to break her own heart
But I can't hold the secret I'm keeping
I'm breaking apart
Can't seem to mind my own business
Whatever I try turns out wrong
I seem like my own false witness
And I can't go on
I cover my ears I close my eyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
Telling me lies
You told me you needed my company
And I believed in your flattering ways
Told me you needed me forever
Nearly gave you the rest of my days
Should've seen you for what you are
Should never have come back for more
Should've locked up all my silver
Brought the key back to your door
I cover my ears I close my eyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
Telling me lies
You don't know what a chance is
Until you have to seize one
You don't know what a man is
Until you have to please one
Don't put your life in the hands of a man
With a face for every season
Don't waste your time in the arms of a man
Who's no stranger to treason
I cover my ears I close my eyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
Telling me lies
I cover my ears I close my eyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
I cover my ears I close my eyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
Oh have you seen my dear companion
For he was all this world to me
I hear he's gone to some far country
And that he cares no more for me
I wish I were a swallow flying
I'd fly to a high and lonesome place
I'd join the wild birds in their crying
Thinking of you and your sweet face
Oh have you seen my dear companion
For he was all this world to me
But now the stars have turned against me
And he cares no more for me
Oh when the dark is on the mountain
And all the world has gone to sleep
I will go down to the cold dark waters
And there I'll lay me down and weep
Oh have you seen my dear companion
Oh have you seen my dear companion
Oh have you seen my dear companion
For he was all this world to me
You say tomorrow you're going
That's so hard for me to believe
I'm making plans for the heartaches
Cause you're making plans to leave
The tears for me will be falling
Like a tree shedding its leaves
I'm making plans for the teardrops
Cause you're making plans to leave
You're making plans to forget me
I'm making plans to miss you
I'm getting ready to grieve
I'm making plans to be lonesome
Cause you're making plans to leave
I'm making plans to be lonesome
Cause you're making plans to leave
I'm making plans to be lonesome
Cause you're making plans to leave
If you see a friend and he tries to say
A girl we once knew is losing her way
It's true
I may be blue
I've seen the best years of life go through
A man that I love
And another I need
Both men have helped make the sad life I lead
Sorrow lives here in my heart
It haunts me when I sleep
I can't keep the thought of you from my dreams
Everything seems to spin all around
But I can't see
Whether it happens with or without me
Remember how perfume, my gown and silk gloves
Had teased your heart so and brought out your love
It's done
Night's breeze has blown
A chill up my spine
The world was mine
Then haughty and high
To bide my time
'Til all of my hopes
Just wish you were mine
Sorrow lives here in my heart
It haunts me when I sleep
I can't keep the thought of you from my dreams
Everything seems to spin all around
But I can't see
Whether it happens with or without me
I ride an old paint
I lead an old dam
I'm going to Montana
To throw a houlihan
They feed in the coolies
They water in the draw
Their tails are all matted
Their backs are all raw
Ride around
Ride around real slow
The fiery and the snuffy are raring to go
Old Bill Brown
Had a daughter and a son
One went to Denver
And the other went wrong
His wife she died in a poolroom fight
And still he keeps singing from morning til night
Ride around
Ride around real slow
Well the fiery and the snuffy are raring to go
Well when I die
Take my saddle from the wall
Put it on my pony
And lead him from his stall
Tie my bones to his back
Turn our faces to the west
And we'll ride the prairie
That we like the best
Ride around
Ride around real slow
Well the fiery and the snuffy are raring to go
Ride around
Ride around real slow
Well the fiery and the snuffy are raring to go
They say that love's a gentle thing
But it's only brought me pain
For the only man I ever loved
Has gone on the morning train
I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I expect to live single
All the days of my life
Well the train pulled out
The whistle blew
With a long and a lonesome moan
He's gone he's gone
Like the morning dew
And left me all alone
I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I expect to live single
All the days of my life
Well there's many a change in the winter wind
And a change in the cloud's design
There's many a change in a young man's heart
But never a change in mine
I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I expect to live single
All the days of my life
Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Have I believed the magic of your sighs
Will you still love me tomorrow
Tonight with words unspoken
You said that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun
I'd like to know that your love
Is a love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
I got a feeling called the blues oh Lord
Since my baby said goodbye
And Lord I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and cry oh Lord
That last long day he said goodbye
Oh Lord I thought I would die
He'll do you
He'll do me
He's got that kind of loving
Lord I love to hear him when he calls me sweet mama
Such a beautiful dream
I'd hate to think it's all over
I lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to him somehow
Well I'm nobody's sugar mama now
And I'm lonesome
I got the lovesick blues
Well I'm in love I'm in love and it's easy to say
That's what's the matter with me
I'm in love I'm in love and it's easy to say
That he don't care about me
Well I tried and I tried to keep him satisfied
But he just wouldn't stay
And now that he is leaving
Well this is all I can say
I got a feeling called the blues oh Lord
Since my baby said goodbye
And Lord I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and cry oh Lord
I've grown so used to him somehow
Well I'm nobody's sugar mama now
And I'm lonesome
I got the lovesick blues
Well, they all said Louise was not half bad
It was written on the walls and window shades
And how she'd act a little girl
A deceiver, don't believe her, that's her trade
Sometimes a bottle of perfume
Flowers and maybe some lace
Men brought Louise ten cent trinkets
Their intentions were easily traced
Yes and everybody knew at times she cried
Ah but women like Louise well, they get by
Yes and everybody thought it kinda sad
When they found Louise in her room
They'd always put her down below their kind
Still some cried when she died this afternoon
Louise rode home on the mail train
Somewhere to the south I heard her say
Too bad it ended so ugly
Too bad she had to go this way
Ah but the wind is blowing cold tonight
Life is like a mountain railway
With an engineer that's brave
We must make the run successful
From the cradle to the grave
Heed the curves and watch the tunnels
Never falter, never fail
Keep your hands upon the throttle
And your eye upon the rail
Blessed Saviour there to guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
And the angels there to join us
In God's grace forevermore
As you roll across the trestle
Spanning Jordan's swelling tide
You will reach the Union Depot
Into which your train will ride
There you'll meet the superintendent
God the father, God the son
With a happy joyous greeting
Weary pilgrim, welcome home
Blessed Saviour there to guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
And the angels there to join us
In God's grace forevermore
In God's grace forevermore
I'm gonna plant me some seed
Grow me an ocean
Cut me some trees
And build me an island
Stand on the corner
Flag down a streetcar
Go somewhere and phone him
And ask him where my thoughts are
I'm gonna say to him
Are my thoughts with you babe
How twisted, babe, are they
Since you went away, babe
I ain't been thinking too straight
And if that don't get through
I'm gonna build me a flower
Sit down in the morning dew
And kiss it every hour
I'm gonna turn out the lights
Turn on the night
Give up the fight
Go for a flight
Catch me a kite
Who cares what's right or wrong
When I get to the moon
Rent me a room
Sit in the gloom
All alone
And cry are my thoughts with you babe
How twisted, babe, are they
You know, since you went away, babe
I ain't been thinking too straight
I'm gonna turn out the lights
Turn on the night
Give up the fight
Go for a flight
Catch me a kite
Who cares what's right or wrong
When I get to the moon
Rent me a room
Sit in the gloom
All alone
And cry are my thoughts with you babe
Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My baby left me and he didn't say why
Well I guess I'll have to try
Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin
I'm playing for time
There have been times I find myself thinking of committing
Some dreadful crime
I've got many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along white cliffs of Dover
To know know know him
Is to love love love him
Just to see him smile
Makes my life worthwhile
To know know know him
Is to love love love him
And I do
I'll be good to him
I'll bring love to him
Everyone says there'll come a day
When I'll walk alongside of him
Yes just to know him
Is to love love love him
And I do
Why can't he see
How blind can he be
Someday he will see
That he was meant for me
Oh
To know know know him
Is to love love love him
Just to see him smile
Makes my life worthwhile
To know know know him
Is to love love love him
And I do

Just when the sun shines the brightest
And the world looks alright again
Then the clouds fill the skies
You can't believe your eyes
Sometimes you just can't win
Well my love never meant much to you dear
For to you I was always a friend
Oh why did I fall
You have no heart at all
Sometimes you just can't win
No I can't live like this any longer
Not knowing just where I stand
Oh darling you don't care
And sweetheart it don't seem fair
Sometimes you just can't win
Oh sometimes you just can't win

You tell me that I'm falling down
A drifter with no role
You tell me that I need a friend
To help me take control
Well let it be I'm not alone
I'm only lonely see
And you can't tell me where to go
Or what or who to be
I am exactly what I am
And not the way you'd like to see me be
I look outside long as I can
Then I close my eyes and watch my world unfold before me
I may not lead the simple life
I've no love of my own
If no one gives me all his heart
I'll manage with a loan
I'm very used to feeling sad
It doesn't make me cry
And yes I do know how to love
And what you say's a lie
I am exactly what I am
And not the way you'd like to see me be
I look outside long as I can
Then I close my eyes and watch my world unfold before me
You tell me that I'm falling down
A drifter with no role
You tell me that I need a friend
To help me take control
Well let it be I'm not alone
I'm only lonely see
And you can't tell me where to go
Or what or who to be
I am exactly what I am
And not the way you'd like to see me be
I look outside long as I can
Then I close my eyes and watch my world unfold before me
You go to my head
And you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head
Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two
The thrill of the thought
That you might give a thought
To my plea casts a spell over me
Still I say to myself
Get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be
You go to my head
With a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance
In this crazy romance
You go to my head
What good is the scheming, the planning, the dreaming
That comes with each new love affair
The love that you cherish so often may perish
And leave you with castles in air
When you're alone
Who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone
The magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn
There is no sunrise
When your lover has gone
What lonely hours
The evening shadows bring
What lonely hours
With memories lingering
Like faded flowers
Life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone
Like faded flowers
Life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone
"You Can Close Your Eyes" / James Taylor
Well the sun is surely sinking down,
but the moon is slowly rising.
So this old world must still be spinning around,
and I still love you.
CHORUS:
So close your eyes;
you can close your eyes, it's all right.
I don't know no love songs,
and I can't sing the blues any more.
But I can sing this song,
and you can sing this song
when I'm gone.
It won't be long before another day.
We're gonna have a good time.
And no one's gonna take that time away.
You can stay as long as you like.
(Chorus)
----
I also noticed a single listing of "taylor.james" in the wanted file;
this can probably be removed.

Oh the women 'cross the river carry water from the well at break of day
And they talk to one another; God only knows what they might say
You might get an education after years of dedication
You might finally get a glimpse of what is right and what is wrong
But the women 'cross the river; well they knew that all along
Oh the women 'cross the river work with tools that are ancient and hand-made
And they plow their fields in perfect rows and then they rest beneath the shade
Now we have learned to build, out of concrete, out of steel
And our buildings stand a thousand years but then even they are bound to fall
But the women 'cross the river never learned to build a wall
Oh the women 'cross the river are as gentle as the dew upon the ground
How I love to hear them laughing in the rain when it makes that perfect sound
Now a soldier with a gun and a battle to be won
Might kill you with a bullet and you never even know the reason why
But the women 'cross the river; they can kill you with their eyes
Oh the women 'cross the river; they can kill you with their eyes
written by D Terry Jr & G Harris
I'm leaving it all up, up to you
You decide what you're gonna do
Now do you want my love
Or are we through
That's why I'm leaving it up to you
You decide what you're gonna do
Now do you want my love
Or are we through
Here's my heart in my hand
And I, I don't understand
What did I, what have I done wrong
You know I worship the ground you walk on
That's why I'm leaving it up to you
You decide what you're gonna do
Now do you want my love
Or are we through

Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Have I believed the magic of your sighs
Will you still love me tomorrow
Tonight with words unspoken
You said that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun
I'd like to know that your love
Is a love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
The hills were alive with wildflowers and I
Was as wild, even wilder than they
For at least I could run
They just died in the sun
And I refused to just wither in place
Just a wild mountain rose
Needing freedom to grow
So I ran fearing not where I'd go
When a flower grows wild
It can always survive
Wildflowers don't care where they grow
And the flowers I knew
In the fields where I grew
Were content to be lost in the crowd
They were common and close
I had no room for growth
And I wanted so much to branch out
So I uprooted myself from home ground and left
Took my dreams and I took to the road
When a flower grows wild
It can always survive
Wildflowers don't care where they grow
I grew up fast and wild
And I never felt right
In a garden so different from me
I just never belonged
I just longed to be gone
So the garden one day set me free
I hitched a ride with the wind
And since he was my friend
I just let him decide where we'd go
When a flower grows wild
It can always survive
Wildflowers don't care where they grow
Just a wild rambling rose seeking mysteries untold
No regret for the path that I chose
When a flower grows wild
It can always survive
Wildflowers don't care where they grow
I don't want you to hold me tight
Till you're mine to hold
And I don't even want you to stay all night
Just until the moon turns cold
All I need is black roses
White rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
Black roses, white rhythm and blues
You say that somebody really loves you
You'd find her if you just knew how
But honey, everyone in the whole wide world
Is probably asleep by now
And they're dreaming of
Black roses, white rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
Black roses, white rhythm and blues
Close your eyes
Sleep away all your blues
I've done everything but lie
Now I don't know what else I can do
Ah, the night time sighs and I hear myself
But the words just stick in my throat
Would you think that somebody like me
Might hurt much more than it shows
Just send me black roses
White rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
Black roses, white rhythm and blues
Black roses, white rhythm and blues

Gone is the romance that was so divine
'Tis broken and cannot be mended
You must go your way and I must go mine
But now that our love dreams have ended
What'll I do
When you are far away
And I am blue
What'll I do
What'll I do
When I am wondering who
Is kissing you
What'll I do
What'll I do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to
When I'm alone with only dreams of you
That won't come true
What'll I do
What'll I do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to
When I'm alone with only dreams of you
That won't come true
Buddy you're a boy
Make a big noise
Playing in the street
Gonna be a big man someday
You got mud on your face
Big disgrace
Kicking your can all over the place
Singing we will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you
Buddy you're a young man
Hard man
Shouting in the street
Gonna take on the world someday
You got blood on your face
Big disgrace
Waving your banner all over the place
Singing we will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you
Buddy you're an old man
Poor man
Pleading with your eyes
Gonna make you some peace someday
You got mud on your face
Big disgrace
Somebody better put you back into your place
Singing we will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you
Oh no, here we go and there you go again
When we disagree you leave when you don't win,
Honey now,
Sidewalk, baby talk, don't get it with me no more
Next time around the block
You go by my door baby
Walk on till you're gone away
Walk on till you find some day
Oh honey
Good-bye goes a long long way
So, so long
Walk on
Good-bye, baby cry, till you're singing the poor boy blues
This time I don't mind if you're shining your walking shoes
Fresh ink in the pen, your papers are ready to sign
They'll both be waiting for you when you walk by baby
Walk on till you're gone away
Walk on till you find some day
Oh honey
Good-bye goes a long long way
So, so long
Walk on till you're gone away
Walk on till you find some day
Oh honey, good-bye goes a long long way
So, so long

Yo tengo que decirte la verdad
Aunque me parta el alma
No quiero que despus me juzgues mal
Por pretender callarla
Yo s que es imposible nuestro amor
Porque el destino manda
Y t sabrs un da perdonar
Esta verdad amarga
Te juro por los dos
Que me cuesta la vida
Que sangrar la herida
Por una eternidad
Tal vez mañana puedas comprender
Que siempre fui sincera
Tal vez por alguien llegues a saber
Que todava te quiero
Te juro por los dos
Que me cuesta la vida
Que sangrar la herida
Por una eternidad
Tal vez mañana puedas comprender
Que siempre fui sincera
Quiz por alguien llegues a saber
Que todava te quiero
Verdad Amarga
(Bitter Truth)
I have to tell the truth
Even if it breaks my heart
I don't want to be misjudged later
For trying to conceal it
I know our love is impossible
Because it is our destiny
And one day you'll be able to pardon
This bitter truth
I swear
That it's costing me my life
That this wound will bleed
For an eternity
Maybe later you might understand
That I was always sincere
Perhaps someone will help you see
That I still love you

People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Oh I need you, need you
Since you left me if you see me with another guy
Looking like I'm having fun
Although he might be cute he's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one
So take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Outside I'm masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
I'm just a clown since you put me down
My smile is my make-up I wear since my break-up with you
Baby take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Woah baby take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Just one look and I fell so hard
In love with you Oh Oh
I found out how good it feels
To have your love Oh Oh
Say you will, will be mine
Forever and always Oh Oh
Just one look and I knew
That you were my only one Oh Oh
I thought I was dreaming
But I was wrong Oh yeah yeah
Ah but I'm gonna keep on scheming
Till I make you, make you my own
So you see I really care
Without you I'm nothing Oh Oh
Just one look and I know
I'll get you someday Oh Oh
Just one look
That's all it took hah just one look
That's all it took woah just one look
That's all it woah baby you know I love you baby
I'll build my world around you come on baby
Whenever you find a man
That loves every woman he sees
There's always some kind of woman
That's putting him up a tree
Well that kind of man he ain't got
As much sense as a mule
You know everyone don't love you
They're just playing you for a fool
Oh no it's not hard for you to understand
True love can be such a sweet harmony
If you do the best that you can
Now if you marry the wrong kind of woman
And you get where you can't agree
Well you just as well forget your plan
Let that woman be
But a man ought to make a good husband
And quit trying to lead a fast life
Going about dressing up other women
Won't put clothes on his own wife
Oh no it's not hard for you to understand
True love can be such a sweet harmony
If you do the best that you can
Well there's lots of good women want to marry
And they want to live well at home
But they're 'fraid they'll get hold of some rowdy man
Can't let other women alone
And there's lots of good men want to marry
And they want to live well at home
But every time they turn their back there's a man there
Asking darling is he gone
Oh no it's not hard for you to understand
True love can be such a sweet harmony
If you do the best that you can
True love can be such a sweet harmony
If you do the best that you can
One day a mother went to a prison
To see an erring but precious son
She told the warden how much she loved him
It did not matter what he had done
She did not bring to him a parole or pardon
She brought no silver, no pomp or style
It was a halo bright sent down from heaven's light
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
She left a smile you can remember
She's gone to heaven from heartaches free
Those walls around you could never change her
You were her baby and e'er will be
She did not bring to him a parole or pardon
She brought no silver, no pomp or style
It was a halo bright sent down from heaven's light
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
She did not bring to him a parole or pardon
She brought no silver, no pomp or style
It was a halo bright sent down from heaven's light
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile

I've been romanced dined and danced
Crazy nights and wild times
But my life has lost its mystery
Love is blind and it cannot find me
I'm blowing away
Shadows take my love and leave
I'm blowing away
Shadows keep taking my love and leaving me
And I have cast aside my foolish pride
And I'm going down for the last time
And I have searched this earth
And I've sailed these seas
Love is blind and it cannot find me
I'm blowing away
Shadows take my love and leave
I'm blowing away
Shadows keep taking my love and leaving me
You keep taking my love and leaving me
See her as she flies
Golden sails across the sky
Close enough to touch
But careful if you try
Though she looks as warm as gold
The moon's a harsh mistress
The moon can be so cold
Once the sun did shine
And lord it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose
Through the mountains and the pine
And then the darkness fell
The moon's a harsh mistress
It's hard to love her well
I fell out of her eyes
I fell out of her heart
I fell down on my face, yes I did
And I tripped and I missed my star
And I fell and fell alone
The moon's a harsh mistress
The sky is made of stone
The moon's a harsh mistress
She's hard to call your own
It's a cinch that I've been wrong
And it's clear it's not been long
Since I was hard on you
But now a time has come
When yesterday don't mean nothin'
Now I'm in love with you
And you've taken me the long way around
Take a look how young we are
A month has changed the moon and the stars
Changing the things we do
You've been lookin' for something strong
When other things don't mean nothin'
Now I'm in love with you
And you've taken me the long way around
Well I can't see beyond the doubt that's in your eye
It's on the outskirts of my fading alibi
It's a cinch that I've been wrong
And it's clear it's not been long
Since I was hard on you
But now a time has come
When yesterday don't mean nothin'
Now I'm in love with you
And you've taken me the long way around
Now I'm in love with you
And you've taken me the long way around
written by J.D. Souther
You don't know how I feel
You don't seem to care
If I let you see it through my eyes
You wouldn't see anyone there
It's no wonder I been crying
It's no wonder that I'm blue
My crazy heart was gone and let somebody know
When it's time for me to go
Tired of being lonley
Tired of what you do to me
Hear it raining in my heart
Well I've been lonely before
But I've been so long without sunlight
I can't take another day more
No wonder I been crying
It's no wonder I been blue
My crazy heart can't tell me why
I can't tell you goodbye
Oh no, I'm tired of all this tragedy
I'm giving you back your misery
You better put on a fast one
I think I'm gonna pull through
You better play another fast one
No matter what you do
Put your money in a fast one
I don't wanna hear the blues
Put on another fast one
Trying to forget about you
Well it ain't no wonder I been crying
It's no wonder I been blue
My crazy heart can't tell me why
I can't tell you goodbye
Darling I'm tired of being lonely
Tired of what you put me through
Now you better put on a fast one
If you want me to pull through
You better play another fast one
No matter what you do
Put your money in a fast one
I don't wanna hear the blues
Put on another fast one
Trying to forget about you
This old world may never change
Not the way it's been
And all the ways of war
Can't change it back again
I've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me
I'm not the one to tell this world
How to get along
I only know that peace will come
When all hate is gone
I've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me
Sometimes I think about
Saturday's child
And all about the times
When we were running wild
I've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me
This old world may never change
This old world may never change

Well that'll be the day
When you say goodbye
That'll be the day
When you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave
You know it's a lie
Cause that'll be the day that I die
Well that'll be the day
When you say goodbye
That'll be the day
When you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave
You know it's a lie
Cause that'll be the day that I die
Well you gave me all your loving
And your turtle doving
All your hugs and kisses
And your money too
You know you love me baby
Still you tell me baby
That someday when I'll be true
Well that'll be the day
When you say goodbye
That'll be the day
When you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave me
You know it's a lie
Cause that'll be the day that I die
When Cupid shot his dart
He shot it at your heart
So if we ever part then I'll be blue
You kiss and hold me
And you tell me boldy
Well that someday that I'll be true
Well that'll be the day
When you say goodbye
That'll be the day
When you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave me
You know it's a lie
Cause that'll be the day that I die
Ah that'll be the day wooh-ooh-ooh
That'll be the day woo-ooh-ooh
That'll be the day woo-ooh-ooh
That'll be the day when I die
I read your letter
Tears filled my eyes
All of your promises failing
Nothing but lies
So I turned your photograph over face to the wall
And when I dim the light in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall
Teardrops will fall tonight
Tears I can't hide
Tears that I tried to keep deep down inside
Tears from the love that's gone beyond recall
And when I dim the lights in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall
I'm going to pray tonight baby
Hoping you will hear
Maybe you'll right the wrong and dry each tear
I'll sit alone tonight hoping you will call
And when I dim the light in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall
Teardrops will fall tonight
Tears I can't hide
Tears that tried to keep deep down inside
Tears from the love that's gone beyond recall
And when I dim the light in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall
When I dim the light in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall

Como te quiero you a ti
Es imposible mi cielo
Tan separados vivir
Cuando se quiere de veras

Love me a lot
Sweet love of mine
How loving you are
I will always adore you
With your kisses
And your caresses
My sufferings cease to speak
When you are truly in love
As I am with you
It is impossible, my heaven
To live so far apart

Pnme mi vestido blanco
Aquel con que nos casamos
El doctor por ms que le ande
Est muy lejos nuestro rancho
Ya no gastes en remedios
Ya mis fuerzas van mermando
Pnme mi vestido blanco
Tata Dios me est llamando
Tata Dios...
Todo se queda en silencio
Solo Juan le dice a ella:
Vieras que lindos jilotes
Se estan dando en la ladera
Pero ya no "quiero" nada
Voy a regalar la siembra
Tata Dios asi lo quiere
Y con Tata nadie juega
Tata Dios... Me est llamando
Father God
Put my white dress on me
The one I wore when we were married
The doctor has far to walk
Because our ranch is so far away
Don't waste your time on remedies
My strength is already leaving me
Put my white dress on me
Father God is calling me
Everything remains still
Only Juan is telling her:
See how pretty the cornstalks
Growing on the hillside
But now I don't want anything
I'm going to give away the seed
Father God wants it this way
And with Father nobody plays
Father God... is calling me

I bid farewell to the state of old New York
My home away from home
In the state of New York I came of age
When first I started roaming
And the trees grow high in New York State
And they shine like gold in the autumn
Never had the blues from whence I came
But in New York State I got 'em
Talk to me of Mendocino
Closing my eyes I hear the sea
Must I wait
Must I follow
Won't you say come with me
And it's on to South Bend, Indiana
Flat out on the western plain
Rise up over the Rockies
And down on into California
Out to where but the rocks again
And let the sun set on the ocean
I will watch it from the shore
Let the sun rise over the redwoods
I'll rise with it till I rise no more
Talk to me of Mendocino
Closing my eyes I hear the sea
Must I wait
Must I follow
Won't you say come with me
Fly ye away from my window little bluebird
Fly ye as far as you can away from here
Let not your song fall upon my ear
Go spread your blue wings and I'll shed my blue tears
For the one that I have loved
He has left me and gone
And I am in no mood
For to hear your sad song
Bring not your light into my dark room, yellow sunshine
Waste not your warmth on the coldness in here
Oh trouble me not, go ye elsewhere
Go light your blue sky and I'll shed my blue tears
For the only one that I have ever loved has gone away
And I am in no mood for the sunshine today
Go spread your blue wings
Light your blue sky
And I'll shed my blue tears
The buzzard took the monkey for a ride in the air
The monkey thought that everything was on the square
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back
The monkey grabbed his neck and said;
"Now listen, Jack
"Straighten up and fly right
"Straighten up and fly right
"Straighten up and fly right
"Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.
"Ain't no use in jivin'
"What's the use in divin'
"Straighten up and fly right
"Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top."
The buzzard told the monkey "You're chokin' me
"Release your hold and I'll set you free"
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye And said
"Your story's touchin', but it sounds like a lie
"Straighten up and fly right
"Straighten up and do right
"Straighten up and fly right
"Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top."
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and do right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top
They say into your early life romance came
And in this heart of yours burnt a flame
A flame that flickered one day and died away
Then, with disillusion deep in your eyes
You learned that fools in love soon grow wise
The years have changed you somehow, I see now
Smoking
Drinking
Never thinking of tomorrow
Non-chalant
Diamonds shining
Dancing
Dining
With some man in a restaurant
Is that all you really want
No. Sophisticated Lady, I know
You miss the love you had long ago
And when nobody is neigh
You cry
No. Sophisticated Lady, I know
You miss the love you had long ago
And when nobody is neigh
You cry
You cry
Spread Music
Silver Blue
Said goodbye to no one
Thought it through
And left me standing in the road
If you were ever lonely
It never showed
But someday baby you'll be here
And I'll be going home without you
With blood on both my hands
'Cause I took you through
And now we're both too weak to stand
You think you're gonna live forever
And somehow find me there
But you'll be wearing golden wings
And fall right through the air
Loving you
Well I'm a fool for trying
'Cause I get so blue
That I don't know when I'm crying
If you are ever lonely
And you let me know
I'll come running right on time
and rock you gently home
Silver Blue
Silver Blue
What if I fall in love with you
Just like normal people do
Well maybe I'd kill you
Or maybe I'd be true
When I go down to get a job sometime
It seems people can read my mind
And make money disappear
While they're talking sweet and kind
Well in some ways I am like a child
You never seemed to know it
And if a kind word ever crossed your mind
You never tried to show it
Well in some ways I am like a child
You never seemed to know it
And if a kind word ever crossed your mind
You never tried to show it
When people don't know what you mean
They may laugh at you and call you green
They'll say your words are stupid
And your plans are only schemes
Truth is simple
But seldom ever seen
Let nothing come between
Simple man, simple dream
Shattered
Like a windowpane
Broken by a storm
Each tiny piece of me lies alone
And scattered
Far beyond repair
All my shiny dreams
Just lying there
I'm broken but I'm laughing
It's the sound of falling glass
I hope that you won't mind if I should cry in public
While I wait for this to pass
Cause sweet darling I'm shattered
Into fragments cold and gray
Sweep the pieces all away
Then no one will ever know how much it mattered
Something deep inside of me
Shattered
Traditional, arranged by Avie Lee Parton
There's a little rosewood casket
Resting on a marble stand
With a packet of old love letters
Written by my true love's hand
Go and bring them to me sister
Read them o'er for me tonight
I have often tried but I could not
For the tears that filled my eyes
When I'm dead and in my casket
When I gently fall asleep
Fall asleep to wake in heaven
Dearest sister do not weep
Take his letters and his locket
Place them gently on my heart
But this golden ring that he gave me
From my finger never part
There's a little rosewood casket
Resting on a marble stand
With a packet of old love letters
Written by my true love's hand
Well I am just a vagabond
A drifter on the run
And eloquent profanity
It rolls right off my tongue
And I have dined in palaces
Drunk wine with kings and queens
And darling on darling
You're the best thing I ever seen
Won't you roll me easy
So slow and easy
Take my independence
With no apprehension no tension
Walk in, talk in paradise
Sweet paradise
Well I been around this country
From Denver to the oceans
And I never met girls that could sing so sweet
Like the angels that live in Houston
Singing roll me easy
So slow and easy
Play your concertina be a temptress
Darling I'm defenseless
Sing in harmony, in unison
Sweet harmony
Gotta hoist the flag and I'll beat your drum
Sing in harmony, in unison
Sweet harmony
Gotta hoist the flag and I'll beat your drum
Woah roll me easy
So slow and easy
Take my independence
With no apprehension no tension
Walk in, talk in paradise
Sweet paradise
By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he went
When he remembered Zion
For the wicked carry us away
Captivity require from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land
So let the words of our mouth
And the meditations of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight
Rescue me
I want you in my arms
Rescue me
I need your tender charms
Cause I'm lonely and I'm blue
I need you and your love too
Come on and rescue me
Come on baby and rescue me
Come on baby can't you see
That I need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely
Rescue me.
Come on and take my heart
Take your love and conquer every part
Cause I need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely
Rescue me
Come on and take my hand
Take my love I want you for my man
Cause I'm lonely and I'm blue
I need you and your love too
Come on and rescue me
Come on baby and rescue me
Come on baby can't you see
That I need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely
Love me baby
Hold me baby
Kiss me baby
Squeeze me baby
Oh baby help me baby
Oh baby Ah baby

Ramblin' round your city
Ramblin' round your town
But I never see a friend I know
as I go ramblin' round boys
As I go ramblin' round
The peach trees they are loaded
The branches are bending down
Well I pick 'em all day for a dollar, Lord
As I go ramblin' round boys
As I go ramblin' round
Sometimes the fruit gets rotten
Falls down on the ground
Well there's a hungry mouth for every peach
As I go ramblin' round boys
As I go ramblin' round
My father hoped that I would be
Someone of high renown
But I am just a refugee
As I go ramblin' round boys
As I go ramblin' round
Ramblin' round your city
Ramblin' round your town
Well I never see a friend I know
As I go ramblin' round boys
As I go ramblin' round
Soy como el viento que corre
Alrededor de este mundo
Ando entre muchos placeres (2x)
Pero no es suyo ninguno
Soy como el pjaro en jaula
Preso y hundido en tu amor
Aunque la jaula sea de oro (2x)
No deja de ser prisin
Hblenme montes y valles
Grtenme piedras del campo
Cuando haban visto en la vida
Querer como estoy queriendo
Llorar como estoy llorando
Morir como estoy muriendo
A veces me siento un sol
Y el mundo me importa nada
Luego despierto y me ro (2x)
Soy mucho menos que nada
En fin estoy en ste mundo
Como la pluma en el aire
Sin rumbo voy por la vida
Sin rumbo voy por mi vida
Y de eso t eres culpable
Por un amor
Me desvelo y vivo apasionada
Tengo on amor
Que en mi vida dejó
Para siempre amargo dolor
Pobre de mÃÂ
Esta vida mejor que se acabe
No es para mÃÂ
Pobre de mÃÂ
(Ay corazón)
Pobre de mÃÂ
(No sufras más)
Cuánto sufre mi pecho
Que late tan solo por ti
Por un amor
He llorado gotitas de sangre del corazón
Me has dejado con el alma herida

No la quiero para nada
Para nada me sirve sin ti

(Think of Me)
If you have a deep wave of pain
Think of me
If you feel like you're going to cry
Think of me
You know that I worship your divine image
Your childlike mouth
Taught me to sin
Think of me
When you kiss
And when you cry
Think also of me
If you want
Take my life away from me
I don't want it for anything
It's useless to me
Without you

Nadie comprende lo que sufro yo
Tanto que ya no puedo sollozar
Solo temblando de ansiedad estoy
Todos me miran y se van
Mujer, si puedes t con Dios hablar
Pregntale si yo alguna vez
Te he dejado de adorar
Y el mar espejo de mi corazn
Las veces que me ha visto llorar
La perfidia de tu amor
Te he buscado por dondequiera que yo voy
Y no te puedo hallar
Para qu quiero tus besos
Si tus labios no me quieren ya besar
Y t quin sabe por dnde andars
Quin sabe qu aventura tendrs
Qu lejos ests de m
Perfidia
(Perfidy)
No one understands what I'm suffering
So much that it's beyond sobbing
I am alone, trembling from anxiety
They all look at me and leave
Woman, if you can speak with God
Ask him if I ever stopped loving you
Ask the ocean
The mirror of my heart
About the times it has seen me cry
The faithlessness of your love
I have looked for you wherever I go
And I can't find you
If your lips don't want to kiss me anymore
And you, who knows where you are
And what adventure awaits you
And how far you are from me

They say I'm nothing but a party girl
Just like a million more all over the world
I know, I shouldn't be raising my hopes so high
But I have seen the hungry look in their eyes
They'd settle for anything in disguise of love
Seen the party girls look you over
Seen them leaving when the party's over
They can't touch me now
You say, you don't mind
We're so hard to find
I could give you anything but time
Give it just one more try
Give it a chance
Starts like fascination
Ends up like a trance
You'll never be the guilty party, will you?
Maybe someday we can go hiding from this world
Maybe I'll never get over this change in style
But I don't want to lock you up and say you're mine
Don't want to lose you or say goodbye
I'm the guilty party and I want my slice
But I know you've got me in a grip-like vise
They can't touch me now
You say you don't mind
We're so hard to find
I could give you anything
I would give you anything
I can give you anything but time
Una blanca palomita, una blanca palomita
De ojos negors... negros... negros...
Se paró en mi ventanita a contarme su pena
Me delito tiene espinas
Ya no las puedo aguantar
Tristemente me contaba cuando en eso las campanas
De una iglesia chiquitita
Asustaron a la ingrata, y a su nido fue a parar
Sin que pudiera decirle que su mal era mi mal
Paloma... Paloma...
Justamente te pareces a mi alma
Paloma... Paloma...
Justamente eres hermana de mi mal
A Little White Dove with Black Eyes
A white little dove
With black eyes... black... black...
Stopped in my little window to tell me her sorrows
My conscience is prickling me
I can't take it anymore
She was speaking sadly
When the ringing of the church bells
Frightened her back to her nest
I did not get to tell her that her troubles were just like mine
Little dove... little dove...
You are my soulmate
Little dove... little dove...
You are my sister in misfortune

Ooo la, la, la, la.
I did you wrong, my heart went out to play
and in the game I lost you; what a price to pay.
I'm cryin'.
Oooh, baby, baby. Oooh, baby, baby.
Mistakes, I know I've made a few,
but I'm only human. You've made mistakes too.
I'm cryin'.
Oooh, baby, baby. Oooh, baby, baby.
(Chorus:)
Ooh, baby, baby. Ooh, baby.
I'm just about at the end of my rope.
But, I can't stop tryin'.
I can't give up hope.
'cause I feel someday I'll hold you near,
whisper I still love you.
Until that day is here, I'm cryin'
Oooh, baby, baby. Oooh, baby, baby.
Oooh, baby, baby. Oooh, baby, baby.
Oooh, baby, baby. Oooh, baby, baby.

One year later I saw her
Wearing a face in a strange disguise
Carried a smile they taught her
Gives it away at the edge of her eyes
Didn't I see the sunshine through the rainfall
She's crying and she knows it
She's crying and she shows it on the outside now
Whatever happened to the girl that was
Did she go inside because it's cold out here
Sooner or later she told me
I am in love again, truly this time
Nothing at home left to hold me
The city's just great and the world treats me fine
Didn't she think I heard that old refrain before
She's lying and she knows it
She's lying and she shows it on the outside now
Whatever happened to the girl that was
Did she go inside because it's cold out here
Didn't she think I'd seen someone in pain before
She's crying and she knows it
She's crying and she shows it on the outside now
Whatever happened to the girl that was
Did she go inside because it's cold out here
Never, never will I marry
Never, never will I wed
Born to wander solitary
Wide my world, narrow my bed
Never never never will I marry
Born to wander 'til I'm dead
No burden to bear
No conscience, no care
No memories to mourn
No turning, for I was
Born to wander solitary
Wide my world, narrow my bed
Never never never will I marry
Born to wander 'til I'm dead
No burden to end
No conscience, no care
No memories to mourn
No turning, for I was
Born to wander solitary
Wide my world, narrow my bed
Never never never will I marry
Born to wander 'til I'm dead
My old flame
I can't even think of his name
But it's funny now and then
How my thoughts go flashing back again
To my old flame
My old flame
My new lovers all seem so tame
For I haven't met a gent
So magnificent or elegant
As my old flame
I've met so many who had fascinating ways
A fascinating gaze in their eyes
Some who took me up to the skies
But their attempts at love
Were only imitations of
My old flame
I can't even think of his name
But I'll never be the same
Until I discover what became
Of my old flame
My old flame
I can't even think of his name
But I'll never be the same
Until I discover what became
Of my old flame
Behold the way our fine feathered friend
His virtue doth parade
Thou knowest not my dim-witted friend
The picture thou hast made
Thy vacant brow and thy tousled hair
Conceal thy good intent
Thou noble, upright, truthful, sincere
And slightly dopey gent
You're my funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Still you're my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart
Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay, little valentine, stay
Each day is Valentine's Day
Well I woke up early with those morning blues
Had an aching head that I wished I could lose
And I looked in the mirror, nearly died of fright
Those morning blues, ten times worse than last night
I got the morning blues
Hurt so bad
Honey come and love me
They're the worst I ever had
Well, a nickel's worth of grease
And a dime's worth of lard
I would buy more but the times is too hard
And I don't see why I have to work so hard
I can live off the chickens in my neighbor's yard
I got the morning blues
Hurt so bad
Honey come and love me
They're the worst I ever had
Well I've been in the army and I've been in love
I used to fly high like a turtle dove
And I've had these blues for just the longest time
It's just some boy on this poor girl's mind
I got the morning blues
Hurt so bad
Honey come and love me
They're the worst I ever had
I got the morning blues
Hurt so bad
Honey come and love me
They're the worst I ever had

Everybody's restless
And they got no place to go
Someone's always trying to tell them
Something they already know
So their anger and resentment flow
Don't it make you want to rock and roll
All night long
Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful
On the radio
Mohammed's radio
You know the sheriff's got his problems too
And he will surely take them out on me and you
In walks the village idiot and her face is all aglow
Because she's been up all night listening to
Mohammed's radio
Don't it make you want to rock and roll
All night long
Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful
On the radio
Mohammed's radio
Everybody's desperate
Trying to make ends meet
Work all day still can't pay
The price of gasoline and meat
Alas their lives are incomplete
Don't it make you want to rock and roll
All night long
Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful
On the radio
Mohammed's radio
You've been up all night just listening for his drum
Hoping that the righteous might just might just might just might just come
I heard the general whispering to his aide de camp
Be watchful for Mohammed's lamp
Don't it make you want to rock and roll
All night long

I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful

All al pie de la montaña
Donde temprano se oculta el sol
Qued mi ranchito triste
Y abandonada ya mi labor
Ahi me pas los años
Ahi encontr mi primer amor
Y fueron los desengaños
Los que mataron a mi ilusin
Ay... Corazn que te vas
Para nunca volver... No me digas adis
Vuelve a alegrar con tu amor
El ranchito que fue
De mi vida ilusin
Mal haya los ojos negros
Que me embrujaron con su mirar
Si nunca me hubieran visto
No fueran causa de mi penar
My Little Ranch
Far away
At the foot of the mountain
Where the sun hides early
My sad little ranch is still there
My work abandoned
There, I passed the years
There, I found my first love
There, were the betrayals
The ones that killed my illusions
Oh heart
You left me
Don't tell me goodbye
Come back
To cheer up the little ranch
That was once my whole life's dream
Wicked one
Your black eyes bewitched me with their look
If I'd never seen them
They wouldn't have caused me such pain

Sweetheart I love you
Think the world of you
But I'm afraid you don't care for me
You never show it
Don't let me know it
Everyone says I'm a fool to be
Pining the whole day through
Why do you act like you do
You're mean to me
Why must you be mean to me
Gee honey it seems to me
You love to see me crying
I don't know why I stay home
Each night when you say you'll phone
You don't and I'm left alone
Singing the blues and sighing
You treat me coldly each day of the year
You always scold me whenever somebody is near dear
It must be great fun to be mean to me
You shouldn't for can't you see
What you mean to me
You treat me coldly each day of the year
You always scold me whenever somebody is near dear
It must be great fun to be mean to me
You shouldn't for can't you see
What you mean to me

Maybe he's right
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe what I'm saying is the way it should be
Nobody knows when the truth goes by
But everyone tells me that he's happy
Maybe he's gone and found some love
I want to see it for myself
Everyone says just to let him alone
But I can't even sleep no more it worries me so
Why
Why
Maybe I'm right
Maybe he's wrong
And maybe what he's saying is the way it should be
Somebody tried to explain it to me
But they couldn't tell me if he's happy
And I just want to know if he's still happy
If I can't get away from you
What am I gonna do
Cause you hit me just like a dream
Where there's no in-between
Cause I just fall forever
Fall forever in your eyes
Cause it's a mad mad love
Mad mad love
Mad mad love
Can't help falling now
Falling into mad love
Well you're shorting out all my pride
Like fireworks exploding inside
You're just something I can't deny
Why tell me baby why
Cause I just fall forever
Fall forever in your eyes
Cause it's a mad mad love
Mad mad love
Mad mad love
Can't help falling now
Falling into mad love
If I can't get away from you
What am I gonna do
Now you call me up and you're so cool
What d'ya what do you want me to do
Cause it's a mad mad love

Mad mad love
I can't help it

I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something I've never had
Never had no kissin'
Ooh what I've been missin'
Lover man oh where can you be
The night is cold and I'm so all alone
I'd give my soul just to call you my own
Got a moon above me
But there's no one to love me
Lover man oh where can you be
I've heard it said that the thrill of romance can be
Like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer that you'll make love to me
Strange as it seems
Someday we'll meet and you'll dry all my tears
And whisper sweet little things in my ears
Huggin' and a-kissin'
Ooh what I've been missin'
Lover man oh where can you be
I've heard it said that the thrill of romance can be
Like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer that you'll make love to me
Strange as it seems
Someday we'll meet and you'll dry all my tears
And whisper sweet little things in my ears
Huggin' and a-kissin'
Ooh what I've been missin'
Lover man oh where can you be
Love me tender. Love me sweet.
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
and I love you so.
Love me tender. Love me true.
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you, and I always will.
Love me tender. Love me long. Take me to your heart.
For it's there that I belong, and we'll never part.
Love me tender. Love me dear.
Tell me you are mine.
I'll be yours through all the years, till the end of time.
Love me tender. Love me true. All my dreams fulfilled.
I've had bad dreams too many times,
To think that they don't mean much any more.
Fine times have gone and left my sad home,
Friends who once cared just walk out my door.
Love has no pride when I call out your name.
Love has no pride when there's no one left to blame.
I'd give anything to see you again.
I've been alone too many nights
To think that you could come back again.
But I've heard you talk: "She's crazy to stay."
But this love hurts me so, I don't care what you say.
Love has no pride when I call out your name.
Love has no pride when there's no one left to blame.
I'd give anything to see you again.
If I could buy your love, I'd truly try my friend.
And if I could pray, my prayer would never end.
But if you want me to beg, I'll fall down on my knees;
Asking for you to come back...
I'd be pleading for you to come back...
Begging for you to come back to me.
Love has no pride when I call out your name.
Love has no pride when there's no one left to blame.
I'd give anything to see you again.
Yes, I'd give anything to see you again.
Save me
Free me
From my heart this time
Well the train's gone
Down the track and I'm
I'm left behind
But nothing can save me from this ball and chain
I've made up my mind I would leave today
But you're keeping me going I know it's insane
'Cause I'll love you and lose again
Well the heart calls
And the mind obeys
Oh it knows better than me baby
And if I hold on for one more day
Oh maybe maybe he'll be true
But nothing can save me from this ball and chain
I've made up my mind I would leave today
But you're keeping me going I know it's insane
'Cause I'll love you and lose again
Nothing can save me from this ball and chain
I've made up my mind I would leave today
But you're keeping me going I know it's insane
'Cause I'll love you and lose again
Woah I'll love you and lose again

Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do
Old girl you're through
Sit there and count your little fingers
Unlucky little girl blue
Sit there and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on is the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
No use old girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer up little girl blue
When I was very young
The world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel
The circus tent was strung with every star in the sky
Above the ring I love so well
Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the tinsel and gold
All you can count on is the raindrops

Mariquita se llamaba
La que vive junto al ro
Tpame con tu rebozo

Ahora que me lleve a mi
A ver si me enojo yo
Mariquita dame un beso
Tu mam me lo mand

Pero en mi boquita yo
La Mariquita (Lady Bug)
Mariquita she was called
The girl that lives by the river
Cover me with your shawl
Because I am dying of cold
Because I took her away
Her mother was mad at me
Now that she is the one who takes me away
Let's see if I get mad at her
Give me a kiss Mariquita
Your mother has ordered me to do so
My mother can give me orders
But she can't tell me who to kiss

This is the one about the girl
The girl who came to stay
Ah but love came down like a hammer and it blew her away
She's sliding down down down
No place to put her hands
But she don't think of nothing but the boys in the hot sand
No
Justine
Don't forget about the little things our hearts do
Justine
You know just what this kiss will mean to you
Justine
Don't forget about the little things our hearts do
I wanted love explained
I had to know what you knew
But the face of Aphrodite is a blank when it looks at you
Your heart does its little tricks
Your feelings burn right through
But the cold wire edge of the whip is all that's left of you
Oh no

Don't forget about the little things our hearts do

You know just what this kiss will mean to you

Dan cos sus cantos la evocain.

Que huele a surco y a tradicin
Remedo de la faena

Bonito es el jaripeo
Y cunto su animacin
Yo quiero montarle a un toro
Pa' que me mire mi amor.

A charreada is similar to a rodeo but
has slightly different events more par-
ticular to the style of the Charro, or
gentleman cowboy. It is very colorful
because the men always compete wearing
their elegant Charro suits, the basis of
the mariachi costume. The grand entry
(el jaripeo) features the ladies riding
their beautiful horses sidesaddle. It
also includes the singing of the tra-
ditional rancheras that I love so much.
My sister Suzi used to say that the real
test of a good singer was if he or she
could support a tone on horseback, as
she heard the singers do in the
charreada. She even learned to ride her
horse sidesaddle. If I can get her to
teach me how to do it, maybe I'll be
able to sing sidesaddle in a charreada
one day - a cherished dream of mine.
L.R.
The Charreada
How very pretty is this fiesta
The charro fiesta, fiesta in the sun
Where the valiant charros
Evoke such feeling with their songs
The festive grand entry
Smacks of tradition and the furrows
of the earth
It resembles the action of the bullfight
So admired in my nation
Pretty is the grand entry and how
great its excitement
I want to ride the bull
So that my love can see me.

Yo soy como la calandria
Que para formar su nido
Siempre busca rama fuerte
Para no verlo cado
Otros son como el venado
Que por listo y presumido
Cuando anda de enamorado
Lo matan desprevenido
Ay...Ay...Ay...Ay...
Las nubes van por el cielo
Los pescados por el agua
El oro est bajo el suelo
Y el amor en las enaguas
Mi prieta linda
Que voy a hacer
Si t me quitas
Este querer.
De que les sirve a los hombres
Presumir de valentones
Si cuando estn en su casa
Se les caen los pantalones
Tambin sucede otra cosa
Con los que son fanfarrones
Cuando ven la cosa en serio
Les pasa algo en sus calzones.
This was probably originally a son
jarocho from the early 1900's, but it
is arranged here by Don Rubn in the
style of the huasteca. The ethno-
musicologist Dr. Stephen Loza describes
a son (plural: sones) as a folk song
and dance (usually danced with heels on
a board) represented in different
regions in Mexico. Jarocho is the
region of the Atlantic seaboard in
Vera Cruz. L.R.
The Lark
I am like the lark
That in order to form its nest
Always looks for a strong branch
So that she won't see it fall.
Others are like the deer
Eager and presumptuous
When it goes out to find love
Is killed without warning.
Ay...Ay...Ay...Ay...
The clouds go through the sky
The fish through the water
The gold is under the ground
And love is in the petticoats.
My dark lovely one
What am I going to do
If you take this love
Away from me.
What good is it for men
To put on airs
If when they are at home
Their pants fall down.
Also another thing happens
With those who are braggarts
When they see the real thing
Something happens to them
in their breeches.

Al golpe del remo se agitan las olas
Ligera la barca
Al ruido del agua se ahonda mi pena
Solloza mi alma.
Por tantos pesares, mi amor angustiado
Llorando te llama
Y te hallas muy lejos... y sola,
muy sola
Se encuentra mi alma.
Alegre viajero que tornas al puerto
De tierras lejanas
Qu extrao piloto condujo tu barca
Sin vela y sin ancla
De qu regin vienes, que has hecho
pedazos
Tus velas tan blancas.
Y fuiste cantando
Y vuelves trayendo, la muerte en el alma
Yo soy el marino
Que alegre de Guaymas, sali una maana
Llevando en mi barca como ave piloto
Mi dulce esperanza.
Por mares ignotos
Mis santos anhelos hundi en la borrasca
Por eso estn rotas mis alas
Y traigo la muerte en el alma.
Te fuiste cantando
Y hoy vuelves trayendo
La muerte en el alma.

Does he love me
It's too soon to know
Can I believe him
When he tells me so
And is he fooling
Is this all a game
Am I the fire
Or just another flame
A one-sided love would break my heart
He may be just acting and playing a part
If he don't love me
Let him tell me so
And I can't hold him
If he wants to go
And though I'll cry
When he's gone
I won't die
I'll live on
If it's so
It's too soon
Way too soon to know
And though I'll cry
When he's gone
I won't die
I'll live on
If it's so
It's too soon
Way too soon to know

It only seems like yesterday
You got a restless look
Said goodbye in the same old way
Like I knew you would
You remember, do you remember
Everything we said
Promise made with a kiss for sure
Like a book I read
It's about time you came back anyway
It's been a long long time
Been alone most every day
You've been on my mind
I always wondered where you went
To find some peace of mind
You never seemed to give much thought
To leaving me behind
You remember, do you remember
Everything we said
Promise made with a kiss for sure
Like a book I read
It's about time you came back anyway
It's been a long long time
Been alone most every day

How glad the many millions
Of Toms and Dicks and Williams
Would be
To capture me
But you had such persistence
You wore down my resistance
I fell
And it was swell
You're my big and brave and handsome Romeo
How I won you I will never never know
It's not that you're attractive
But oh my heart grew active
When you came into view
I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and nighttime, hear me sigh
I never had the least notion
That I could fall with so much emotion
Could you coo
Could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
Cause I've got a crush, my baby, on you
Could you coo
Could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
Cause I have got a crush,
My baby, on you
There's a world where I can go
And tell my secrets to
In my room
In my room
In this world I lock out
All my worries and my fears
In my room
In my room
Do my dreaming
And my scheming
Lie awake and pray
Do my crying
And my sighing
Laugh at yesterday
Now it's dark and I'm alone
But I won't be afraid
In my room

Now Matthew was a country boy until one day he found
That cheatin' folks was easier than plowin' his daddy's ground
He left his home back in Ohio, bound for Chicago's town
He crossed Big Jim and turned his back
A bullet cut him down
And as he lay there dying
He said Will I see my Ohio?
In my reply I lied a bit
And said I did not know
Now Jim McCall he was meek and small
And to become a man
He'd have to build himself up tall
With fancy folks and land
He threw some stones at honest friends
And he got himself these things
His children left him and he sneered
That's what my kindness brings
And on the south side he got lost
He asked me where to go
In my reply I lied a bit
And said I did not know
Yes Miss Lazy Susan called me up
She heard I stole the show
In my reply I lied a bit
And said I did not know
In my reply I lied a bit and said I did not know

They say just once in life
You find someone that's right
But the world looks so confused
I can't tell false from true
And love's so hard to find
In this state of mind
Oh I hope I'll know him
I hope I'll know him
If he's ever near
Well it seemed the time had come
I thought you were the one
When I looked into your eyes
It never looked like lies
And love's so hard to see
When it's in front of me
Oh I hope I'll know it
I hope I'll know it
If it's ever near
And love's so hard to see
When it's in front of me
Oh I hope I'll know it
I hope I'll know it
If it's ever near
Well I know that in my time
I'll have it sweet and fine
But it won't add up to much
Unless I feel his touch
And love's so hard to find
So I guess I'll just give up trying
Oh I hope I'll know him
I hope I'll know him
If he's ever near
I've never been in love before
Now all at once it's you
It's you forevermore
I've never been in love before
I thought my heart was safe
I thought I knew the score
But this is wine
that's all too strange and strong
I'm full of foolish song
And out my song must pour
So please forgive this helpless haze I'm in
I've really never been in love before
But this is wine
that's all too strange and strong
I'm full of foolish song
And out my song must pour
So please forgive this helpless haze I'm in
I've really never been in love before
written by Bob Dylan
Close your eyes close the door
You don't have to worry anymore
I'll be your baby tonight
Shut the light shut the shade
You don't have to be afraid
I'll be your baby tonight
Well that mockingbird is gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
Well that big fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon
But we're gonna let it
You won't regret it
Kick your shoes off do not fear
Bring that bottle over here
I'll be your baby tonight
Well that mockingbird is gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
Well that big fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon
But we're gonna let it
You won't regret it
Kick your shoes off do not fear
Bring that bottle over here
I'll be your baby tonight
Cathedral bells were tolling
And our hearts sang on
Was it the spell of Paris
Or the April dawn
Who knows if we shall meet again
But when the morning chimes ring sweet again
I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through
In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children's carousel
The chestnut tree
The wishing well
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go
But I know
I'll think of you each step of the way
And I will always love you
Oh, will always love you
Bittersweet memories
That's all I am taking with me
Goodbye
Please don't cry
We both know I'm not what you need
And I will always love you
Oh, will always love you
And I will always love you
Oh, will always love you
I will always love you
Round my door the leaves are falling
A cold wild wind will come
Sweethearts walk by together
And I still miss someone
No I never got over those blue eyes
I see them everywhere
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there
I wonder if he's sorry
For leaving what we'd begun
There's someone for me somewhere
But I still miss someone
No I never got over those blue eyes
I see them everywhere
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I'll give you my heart
I love you
And you alone were meant for me
Please give your loving heart to me
And say we'll never part
I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling I'm never lonely
Whenever you're in sight
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart
I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling I'm never lonely
Whenever you're in sight
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart
Deep down inside
I know I still love him
But he'll never know
Cause I'll never tell
I'll confide that I'm thinking of him
And wishing him well
I can't walk up to him and say to him
Baby, what you been doing
I still love you like I did
You know, nothing's really changed here
But being the way I am
I keep it hid
Lately I've seen
That look in his eyes
That just breaks my heart
He needs me so
To lean on at this moment
Oh why can't I walk up to that old love of mine and say
Baby, what you been doing
I still love you like I did
You know, nothing's really changed here
But being the way I am
I keep it hid
Maybe someday I'll throw off my foolish pride
This ain't so good
Watching him die this way
Cause he's the same guy inside
Oh why can't I walk up to that old love of mine and say
Baby, what you been doing
I still love you like I did
You know, nothing's really changed here
But being the way I am
I keep it hid
I've been wrong
I've been of no use
I wander these streets alone
Heard every excuse
I go to pieces
Why don't you
Get carried away
I go to pieces
Why don't you
I've know all about
The pain I've caused you
I wish I could run away
What else can I do
Cause I go to pieces
Why don't you
Stick in my side
I go to pieces
Why don't you
Hear anything that I say
Watching you drifting away
I've known all about
Love I've refused
I tried to hide you away
Ain't no use
I go to pieces
Why don't you
Know what it means
I go to pieces
Why don't you
Get carried away
I go to pieces
Why don't you
Why don't you
Why don't you
I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard
For love to ever last
My heart should be well-schooled
'Cause I been fooled in the past
But still I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard
For love to ever last
My heart should be well-schooled
'Cause I been fooled in the past
But still I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast

I need your love so badly
I love you oh so madly
But I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
I thought at last I'd found you
But other loves surround you
And I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
If you'd surrender for a tender kiss or two
You might discover that I'm the lover meant for you
And I'll be true
But what's the good of scheming
I know I must be dreaming
'Cause I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
So what's the good of scheming
I know I must be dreaming
'Cause I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
Today I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Somebody else stood by your side
And you looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
A picture from the past came slowly stealing
As I brushed your arm and stood so close to you
And suddenly I got that old time feeling
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
It's hard to know another's lips have kissed you
And held you just the way I used to do
Heaven only knows how much I´ve missed you
And I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
written by J.D. Souther
It hurts to say goodbye
And when the words are going by
The wind can blow them right back in your eye
You can almost see it
Time will let you know
And when you turn around to go
The aching in your heart begins to show
You can almost see it
You can almost see it
You can almost see it
You can almost see it going by
So you take another train
But the tracks all look the same
They run around in circles like a game
You can almost see it
I can almost see it
I can almost see it
I can almost see it going by
written by Neil Young
Now that you find yourself losing your mind
Are you here again
Finding that what you once thought was real
Is gone and changing
Now that you made yourself love me
Do you think I can change it in a day
How can I place you above me
Am I lying to you when I say
That I believe in you
O-oh, O-oh, O-oh I believe in you
Coming to you at night I see my questions
I feel wiped out
Wishing that maybe in a year or two
We can laugh and let it all out
Now that you made yourself love me
Do you think I can change it in a day
How can I place you above me
Am I lying to you when I say
That I believe in you
O-oh, O-oh, O-oh I believe in you
O-oh, O-oh, O-oh I believe in you
I'm a singer of love songs
Songs that are happy and gay
But how can I sing my love songs
My lover's gone away
I got the words, I've got the tune
I've been rehearsing under the moon
But I got nobody to hear my song
So I'm hummin' to myself
I've got the place, I've got the time
I've got a lot of love words that rhyme
But I got nobody to hear my song
So I'm hummin' to myself
Mmm, mmm
I guess it just had to be
Mmm, mmm
Won't someone listen to me?
I got the words and I got the tune
I'd like to croon it under the moon
But I got nobody to hear my song
So I'm hummin' to myself
Well I got the words and I got the tune
And I'd like to croon it under the moon
But I got nobody to hear my song
So I'm hummin' to myself, mmm hummin' to myself
You're a doll
Your eyes see all
And how do I make you
How do I make you
How do I make you wanna see me
You're so young
But your feelings are deep
And how do I make you
How do I make you
How do I make you feel for me
You put your head on my pillow
And you're fast asleep
And how do I make you
How do I make you
How do I make you dream about me
Ooh, ooh baby
The world's a wall of ice
You're gonna need someone
To treat you warm and keep you nice
I like the way you dance
The way you spin
And how do I make you
How do I make you
How do I make you spin for me
You put your head on my pillow
And you're fast asleep
And how do I make you
How do I make you
How do I make you dream about me
Dream about me
Dream about me
Wooo dream about me
Dream about me
Wooo dream about me
Dream about me
Wooo dream about me
Dream about me
I've been higher than the high sierra
Lower than death valley must be
I've been right, mostly wrong
Wrong about you, right about me
The way I feel, can't explain
So much passion turned to pain
The sun still shines most of the time
Did you know the sun shines when it rains
I've been higher than the high sierra
Lower than death valley must be
I've been right, mostly wrong
Wrong about you, right about me
I've been cussed and I've been praised
And I've been nothing these days
I'll come back, time will see
If I'm wrong about you, right about me
I've been higher than the high sierra
Lower than death valley must be
I've been right, mostly wrong
Wrong about you, right about me
Wrong about you, right about me
Lying alone at night
Listen to the rain that's falling down
You're calling out your baby's name
Ah, but she just ain't around
Sleep don't come at all
You can't ease a troubled mind
Yeah, they call it love
Ah, but it's the heartbreak kind
Rumors whispered low
There's been talk around the town
Phone don't ring no more
Friends they say don't come around
Suspicion running high
But she says every thing's just fine
She tells you that it's love
Ah, but it's the heartbreak kind
There's darkness all around
As the evening shadows fall
Time keeps dragging by
But she ain't coming home at all
You tell yourself she still cares
But pretty soon you're gonna find
You thought it was a lasting love
Ah, but it's the heartbreak kind
You thought it was a lasting love
Some say the heart is just like a wheel
When you bend it you can't mend it
But my love for you is like a sinking ship
And my heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean
When harm is done no love can be won
I know it happens frequently
What I can't understand oh please God hold my hand
Why it had to happen to me
And it's only love and it's only love
That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out
Some say the heart is just like a wheel
When you bend it you can't mend it
But my love for you is like a sinking ship
And my heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean
You ask me if I've met your baby
I have to say
It's been some time now
Seems like yesterday
He was mine
For a while
We had good times
We went in style
But now he's yours
Treat him kind
Yes I remember well when
He was mine
You say he means the world to you
Well yes I can tell
You'll make each other happy
I wish you well
He was mine
For a while
We had good times
We went in style
But now he's yours
Treat him kind
Yes I remember well when
He was mine
Yes I remember well when
He was mine
He was mine
He was mine
He was mine
He was mine
And with the length of his mind
He dark the sun
It was not so long ago
Maybe just a year or so
When I was lonely
And when looking for someone
Way down south in New Orleans
Just a-lookin' for a dream
And that's when I found him
That's where it all begun
He was there on that night
Said for you I know I'm right
I'll be with you until my race is run
He walked into my life
With his cold evil eyes
And with the length of his mind
He dark the sun
Well my memory cannot speak
And oh Lord I'm feeling weak
But I blame it on the fact that I was young
Though I know it may sound strange
There is no way I can change
What my fate has laid out for me now is done
He was there on that night
Said for you I know I'm right
I'll be with you until my race is run
He walked into my life
With his cold evil eyes
And with the length of his mind
He dark the sun
And with the length of his mind
He dark the sun
Hay unos ojos que si me miran
Hacen que mi alma tiemble de amor
Son unos ojos tan primorosos
Ojos más lindos no he visto yo.
Ay!, quien pudiera mirarse en ellos
Ay!, quien pudiera besarlos más
Gozando siempre de sus destellos
Y no olvidarlos nunca jamás.
Y todos dicen que no te quiero
Que no te adoro con frenesí
Y yo les digo que mienten, mienten
Que hasta la vida daría por ti.
She tells him she thinks she wants to be free
He tells her he doesn't understand
She takes his hand
And tells him nothing's working out the way she planned
She's so many women
He can't find the one who was his friend
He's hanging on to half a heart
But he can't have the restless part
So he tells her to hasten down the wind
Now he agrees he thinks she ought to be free
Now she says she'd rather be with him
Oh it's just a whim
That she's designed to keep him out there on that limb
She's so many women
He can't find the one who was his friend
He hanging on to half a heart
But he can't have the restless part
So he tells her to hasten down the wind
He tells her to hasten down the wind
I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you
I'll never forget how we promised one day
To love one another forever that way
We said we'd never say
Good-bye
But that was long ago
Now you've forgotten, I know
No use to wonder why
Let's say farewell with a sigh
Let love die
But we'll go on living
Our own way of living
So you take the high road
And I'll take the low
It's time that we parted
It's much better so
But kiss me as you go
Good-bye
But we'll go on living
Our own way of living
So you take the high road
And I'll take the low
It's time that we parted
It's much better so
But kiss me as you go
Good-bye
Good-bye
Now it's time to say goodnight
Goodnight, sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Goodnight, sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for you
Dream sweet dreams for me
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Goodnight, sleep tight
Now the moon begins to shine
Goodnight, sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for you
Dream sweet dreams for me
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Goodnight, sleep tight
Now the moon begins to shine
Goodnight, sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for you
Dream sweet dreams for me
Goodnight
Goodnight baby
You said loving you
And leaving you
Was the hardest thing to do
To give my foot
Another chance
To try another shoe
But every time I see someone
I'm always seeing you
No I have not always been faithful
I always have been true
Did you ever walk the empty street
Until the break of dawn
Just to hear some lonesome sparrow
Sing a lonesome song
Did it make you feel any better
Like a stranger left so low
Though you didn't know you both had been
A thousand miles from home
And you said loving you
And leaving you
Was the hardest thing to do
To give my foot
Another chance
To try another shoe
But every time I see someone
I'm always seeing you
No I have not always been faithful
I always have been true
No I have not always been faithful
I always have been true
written by Bill Williams & Booker T. Jones
Once I had fame
Oh I was full of pride
Had lots of friends
Always here right by my side
Well my fame oh it died
Now my friends all try to hide
Everybody loves a winner
Everybody loves a winner
But when you lose, you lose alone
Everywhere I turned
There was a hello and smile
I never thought
They'd be gone after a while
Well my friends let me down
And the smiles turned to frowns
Everybody loves a winner
Everybody loves a winner
But when you lose, you lose alone
Once I had love
Ah but I couldn't be true
To get back that love
There ain't nothing I wouldn't do
Well I've loved
And I've lost
And now I'll pay the cost
Everybody loves a winner
Everybody loves a winner
Everybody loves a winner
But when you lose, you lose alone
Aguas! Que ahi viene un toro
Ese relajo
Escndete tras las trancas, chatita
Que viene bravo
Y avintame tu rebozo mi vida
Pa' capotearlo
Toro, Toro, Toro,
Entra de largo
Que mi prieta chula, torito
te est mirando
Toro, Toro, Toro
Toro relajo
Ya te estoy quitando, torito
lo alebrestado
Ya van a abrir las trancas
De su chiquero
Que ya le quit a este toro, mi vida
Lo mitotero
Ah va como borreguito, chatita
A su potrero
El Sueo
El que me oiga mi cantar
Dir que estoy muy contento
Yo canto por divagar
‰sta pasin que yo siento
Y que no puedo olvidar
Me acuesto pensando en ti
Y en el sueo ests conmigo
Y me siento tan fliz
Al soar... que estoy contigo
Hubo noche que so
Que tu boquita besaba
Y luego que despert
Fui viendo que era la almohada
La que de besos colm
Ya me cans de soar
El sueo me hace sufrir
Quisiera que al despertar
Mi sueo fuera verdad
Para dejar de sufrir
Sol redondo y colorado
Como una rueda de cobre
De diario me ests mirando
De diario me miras pobre
(Coro)
Sol que t eres
Tan parejo
Para repartir tu luz
Habas de ensearle al amo
A ser lo mismo que t
Me miras con el arado
Luego con la rozadera
Una vez en la llanura
Y otra vez en la ladera.
Cantando el gustito estaba
Cuando me qued dormido
Cuando me qued dormido
Cantando el gustito estaba
Ay la la la...
Mi mam me depertaba
Yo me haca el desentendido
Para ver si me dejaba
Otro ratito contigo
Ay la la la...
Dicen que el hombre casado
A bailes no va a gozar
A bailes no va a gozar
Dicen que el hombre casado
Ay la la la...
Pero se han euivocado
Porque l tambin sabe amar
Porque l tambin sabe amar
Nada ms que es reservado
Cuando lo estaba queriendo
Cuando lo estaba sintiendo
Todito mo lo vi partir
Me jur que regresaba
Pero todo era mentira
Porque ya su alma no era de m
En la noche silenciosa
Nos miramos
Frente a frente, sin hablar
Cuando me dijo de pronto
Que olvidara su cario
Que no me queria engaar
Fu bajo del crucifijo
De la torre de una iglesia
Cuando la luna nos albumbr
Yo lo estrech entre mis brazos
Con ganas de detenerlo
Pero el orgullo me lo impidi
Ya sola frente a la iglesia
Y llorando
Ante el Cristo... fui a implorar
Al contemplar mi tristeza
El crucifijo de piedra
Tambin se puso a llorar
Han nacido en mi rancho dos arbolitos,
Dos arbolitos que parecen gemelos,
Y desde mi casita los veo solitos
Bajo el amparo santo y la luz del cielo.
Nunca estn separados uno del otro
Porque as quiso Dios que los dos nacieran,
Y con sus mismas ramas se hacen caricias
Como si fueran novios que se quisieran.
Arbolito, arbolito, bajo tu sombra
Voy a esparar que el da cansado muera,
Y cuando estoy solito mirando al cielo
Pido pa' que me mande una compaera.
Arbolito, arbolito, me siento solo
Quiero que me acompaes hasta que muera.
Look at this face I know the years are showing.
Look at this life I still don't know where it's going.
I don't know much but I know I love you.
That may be all I need to know.
Look at these eyes they never seen what matters.
Look at these dreams so beaten and so battered.
I don't know much but I know I love you.
That may be all I need to know.
So many questions still left unanswered.
So much I've never broken through.
And when I feel you near me,sometimes I see so clearly.
That only truth I'll never know is me and you.
Look at this man so blessed with inspiration.
Look at this soul still searching for salvation.
I don't know much but I know I love you.
That may be all I need to know.
I don't know much but I know I love you.
That may be all I need to know.
I don't know much but I know I love you
written by J.D. Souther
If you've ever been taken for money
If you've ever gone down with your pride
If you've ever stood up for a good friend and lost
You know that the river is wide
Like a painter who waits for the sunrise
With a picture in both of his hands
It's like part of your life is already begun
With something that you don't understand
But don't cry now
Oh don't cry now
Don't cry now
No don't cry now
When you're lying alone in the night time
And your loneliness turns into fear
With the words of your memory failing and falling
You're drowning in a river of tears
But don't cry now
Ooh don't cry now
If you've ever thought much about freedom
You might find yourself caught in some door
With somebody you love more than (incomprehensible to my ears)
And you've been weeping but you don't know what for
But don't cry now
Oh don't cry now
Don't cry now
Ooh don't cry now
Don't cry now
Woah don't cry now

Darling you can count on me
Till the sun dries up the sea
Until then I'll always be
Devoted to you
I'll be yours through endless time
I'll adore your charms sublime
Guess by now you know that I'm
Devoted to you
I'll never hurt you
I'll never lie
I'll never be untrue
I'll never give you reason to cry
I'd be unhappy if you were blue
Through the years my love will grow
Like a river it will flow
It can't die because I'm so
Devoted to you
I'll never hurt you
I'll never lie
I'll never be untrue
I'll never give you reason to cry
I'd be unhappy if you were blue
Through the years my love will grow
Like a river it will flow
It can't die because I'm so
Devoted to you

Te fuiste
Cuando mi via sonrea
Cuando pensaba que seras
La ilusin eterna de mi amor
Dejaste
Mi corazn hecho pedazos
Y te entregaste en otros brazos
No tuviste compasin
Ahora que vuelves a m
Me causas terror
Qu grave te ves
Qu extraña actitud
Ya no te puedo querer - Ya no te puedo querer
Si miras
En el espejo del pasado
Te dars cuenta que has cambiado
Slo en ti hay despojos y dolor
Ay qu pena
Me causa verte tan cambiado
Con esa cara demacrada
Lo que fuiste ya muri&ocaute;
Ahora que vuelves a m
Me causas terror
Qu grave te ves
Qu extraña actitud
Ya no te puedo querer
Ya no te puedo querer
Ya no te puedo querer
Ya no te puedo querer
Ya no te puedo querer
Ahora que vuelves a m

Qu grave te ves
Qu extraña actitud
Ya no te puedo querer
Ya no te puedo querer
Ya no te puedo querer
Ya no te puedo querer
Ya no te puedo querer
Despojos
(Fragments)
You left
When my life was smiling
When I thought you would be
The eternal illusion of my love
You left me
My heart was in pieces
You found another's arms
You had no compassion
Now as you return to me
You terrify me
How grave you look
What a strange attitude
I can no longer love you
If you look
In the mirror of the past
You will see how you've changed
All that is left are fragments and pain
How it hurts me
To see you so changed
With that wasted face
All that you were has died

While I'm far away from you my baby
I know it's hard for you my baby
Because it's hard for me my baby
And the darkest hour is just before dawn
Each night before you go to bed my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love
Life can never be
Exactly like we want it to be
It makes me happy
Just knowing that you love me
There's one thing I want you to do
Especially for me
And it's something that everybody needs
Each night before you go to bed my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love
Funny the way that I feel now
Can't keep my feet on the ground
Everything seems unreal now
When you're not around
Day dream, why do you haunt me so
Deep in a rosy glow
The face of my love you show
Day dream, I walk along on air
Building a castle there
For me and my love to share
Don't know the time
Lordy, I'm in a daze
Sun in the sky
While I moon around, feeling hazy
Day dream, don't break my reverie
Until I find that he
Is daydreaming just like me
Don't know the time
Lordy, I'm in a daze
Sun in the sky
While I moon around, feeling hazy
Day dream, don't break my reverie
Until I find that he
Is daydreaming just like me

Cuando t me queras (Cuando me amabas t)
La vida pareca (Un jardn azul)
Nunca hubo tristezas
Ni llanto ni quejas
Slo mucho amor
Amor y amor en plenitud
Cuando me quers t (Cuando me quers t)
Cuando t me queras (Cuando me amabas t)
La vida pareca (Un jardn azul)
Nunca hubo tristezas
Ni llanto ni quejas
Slo mucho amor
Amor y amor en plenitud
Cuando me quers t (Cuando me quers t)
Y hoy que no me quieres (En mi soledad)
Que no s de ti (Por el mundo voy)
A ti otros quereres (Nadie te dir)
Te alejan de m
Lloro y añoro
Mi jardn azul
Cuando me quers t (Cuando me quers t)
Y hoy que no me quieres (En mi soledad)
Que no s de ti (Por el mundo voy)
A ti otros quereres (Nadie te dir)
Te alejan de m
Lloro y añoro
Mi jardn azul
Cuando me quers t (Cuando me quers t)
Cuando Me Querias T
(When You Loved Me)
When you loved me (when you loved me)
Life was like (a blue garden)
Never any sadness
Nor tears or complaints
Only much love
Love, plenty of love
When you loved me (when you loved me)
When you loved me (when you loved me)
Life was like (a blue garden)
Never any sadness
Nor tears or complaints
Only much love
Love, plenty of love
When you loved me (when you loved me)
And now that you no longer love me (in my solitude)
I don't know where you are (through the world I go)
Your other loves (no one will tell you)
Keep you away from me
I cry and I long for
My blue garden
When you loved me (when you loved me)

Now you say you're lonely
You cried the whole night through
Well you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me
Nearly drove me
Out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember
I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say you love me
Well just to prove you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me
Nearly drove me
Out of my head
While you never shared a tear
Remember
I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say you love me
Well just to prove you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you

Here it is again
Friday night
Everyone is laughing
Carrying on
Going out
Having a ball
But I stay at home
Waiting by a phone that never rings
Surrounded by memories and all your things
Yes I'm gonna cry
Oh yes I'm gonna cry
Yes I'm gonna cry
Oh yes I'm gonna cry
'Til my tears run dry
I know that you're out
Having fun
Cheatin' on me
Telling pretty lies
Making her promises now
You don't think of me
You don't care about what's happening here
Every time you kiss her I cry a tear
Yes I'm gonna cry
Oh yes I'm gonna cry
Yes I'm gonna cry
Oh yes I'm gonna cry
'Til my tears run dry
You don't think of me
You don't care about what's happening here
Every time you kiss her I cry a tear
Yes I'm gonna cry
Oh yes I'm gonna cry
Yes I'm gonna cry
Oh yes I'm gonna cry
'Til my tears run dry
Yes I yes I'm gonna cry
You're in deeper than you seem
What you need, what you want
Are not the same thing
I think you're getting sick on the dream
I don't want to see you
Till you know the cost of love
Please don't make me need you
Till you know the cost of love
You told me that we could make it right
Underneath the fear that you would hold me tight
Do you think forevers only last all night
I don't want to see you
Till you know the cost of love
Please don't make me need you
Till you know the cost of love
First it's promises then it's lies
Watch those stares turn to turned-away eyes
You told me that we could make it right
Underneath the fear that you would hold me tight
Do you think forevers only last all night
I don't want to see you
Till you know the cost of love
Please don't make me need you
Till you know the cost of love
Till you know the cost
Of love
Voy a dar un pormenor de lo que a m me ha pasado,(2x)
Que me han agarrado preso siendo un gallo tan jugado.(2x)
Yo me fui para Agua Prieta a ver quin me conoca (2x)
Y a las once de la noche me prendi la policia. (2x)
Me prendieron los gendarmes al estilo Americano, (2x)
Como era hombre de delito, todos con pistola en mano.(2x)
La crcel de Cananea est situada en una Mesa (2x)
Y en ella fui procesado por causa de mi torpeza.(2x)
Despedida no la doy porque no la traigo aqu (2x)
Se la deje al santo nio Y al seor de Mapimi.(2x)
I hear mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And I'm there with you in Ensenada
And I'm here in Echo Park
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Well, I pawned my Smith and Wesson
And I went to meet my man
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
At the Pioneer Chicken stand
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Well, I'm sittin' here playing solitaire
With my pearl handled deck
The county won't give me no more methadone
And they cut off your welfare check
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin

I thought I found the man of my dreams
Now it seems
This is how the story ends
He's going to turn me down
And say "can't we be friends"
I thought for once it couldn't go wrong
Not for long
I can see the way this ends
He's going to turn me down
And say "can't we be friends"
Never again
Through with love
Through with men
They play their game without shame
And who's to blame
I thought I found a man I could trust
What a bust
This is how the story ends
He's going to turn me down
And say "can't we be friends"
Why should I care
Though he gave me the air
And why should I cry
Even sigh
Or wonder why
I thought for once it couldn't go wrong
Not for long
I can see the way this ends
He's going to turn me down
And say "can't we be
can't we be
can't we be
can't we be
can't we be
can't we be friends"
written by Johannes Brahms
Lullaby and good night
In the sky stars are bright
Close your eyes
Start to yawn
Pleasant dreams until the dawn
Close your eyes now and rest
Lay your head on my breast
Go to sleep now and rest
May your slumber be blest
Close your eyes now and rest
Lay your head on my breast
Go to sleep now and rest
May your slumber be blest
Let me cry, let me sigh when I'm blue,
Let me go away from this lonesome town,
Won't be long till my song here is through,
And I know I'm on my last go round.
All the love I could steal, beg or borrow
Couldn't heal all this pain in my soul.
What is love but a prelude to sorrow
With a heartbreak ahead as your goal.
Here I go
Now you know why I'm leaving.
I got the blues.
What can I lose?
Goodbye!
All the love I could steal, beg or borrow
Couldn't heal all this pain in my soul.
What is love but a prelude to sorrow
With a heartbreak ahead as your goal.
Here I go
Now you know why I'm leaving.
I got the blues.
What can I lose?
Goodbye!
Adieu! to you
Goodbye!
The night we met I knew I needed you so
And if I had the chance I'd never let you go
So won't you say you love me
I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make them turn their heads
Every place we go
So won't you be (be my be my baby)
Be my little baby (my one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darling (be my be my baby)
Be my baby now (my one and only baby)
I'll make you happy baby
Just wait and see
For every kiss you give me
I'll give you three
Oh since the day I saw you
I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you
Till eternity
So won't you please (be by be my baby)
Be my little baby (my one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darling (be my be my baby)
Be my baby now (my one and only baby)
So come on and be (be my be my baby)
Be my little baby (my one and only darling)
Say you'll be my darling (be my be my baby)
Be my baby now
(Be my be my baby)
Be my little baby (my one and only baby)
oh oh oh oh (be my be my baby)
oh oh oh oh (my one and only baby)

It might be the color of the sun cut flat
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
Cause baby you've been on my mind
I don't mean trouble, please don't put me down
Don't get upset, I am not pleading
Or saying I can't forget you
Well it don't even matter who you awaken with tomorrow
Cause baby you've been on my mind
When you wake up in the morning baby look inside your mirror
Oh you know I won't be next to you
You know I won't be near
I'll just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on her mind
It might be the color of the sun cut flat
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
Cause baby you've been on my mind
Baby you've been on my mind
Baby you've been on my mind
Have I ever told you
How good it feels to hold you
It isn't easy to explain
And though I really keep trying
I think I may start crying
My heart can't wait another day
When you kiss me I just got to say
Baby I love you (come on baby)
Baby I love you (ooo-wee baby)
Baby I love only you (baby I love only you)
I can't live without you
I love everything about you
I can't help it if I feel this way
Though I'm so glad I found you
I want my arms around you
I love to hear you call my name
Oh tell me that you feel the same
Baby I love you (come on baby)
Baby I love you (ooo-wee baby)
Baby I love only you (baby I love only you)
It's just like heaven
Being here with you
You're like an angel
Too good to be true
But after all I love you I do
Angel baby, my angel baby
When you are near me
My heart skips a beat
I can hardly stand on
My own two feet
Because I love you I love you I do
Angel baby, my angel baby
Ooh I love you, ooh I do
No one could love you like I do
Ooooo
Ooo Ooo Ooo
Please never leave me
Blue and alone
If you ever go
I'm sure you'll come back home
Because I love you I love you I do
Angel baby, my angel baby
It's just like heaven
Beign with you dear
I could never stay
Away without you near
Beacause I love you
I love you, I do
Angel baby, My angel baby
Ooh I love you, ooh I do
No one can love you like I do
Ooooo
Ooo Ooo Ooo
Am I blue
Am I blue
Ain't these tears in my eyes telling you
Am I blue
You would be too
If each plan with your man just fell through
Was a time I was his only one
Now I'm the sad and lonely one
Ooh
Was I gay
Till today
Now he's gone and we're through
Am I blue
Was a time I was the only one
Now I'm the sad and lonely one
Ooh
Was I gay
Till today
Now he's gone and we're through
Am I blue
Am I blue
Ooh hoo
Am I blue

Triste caravana de recuerdos
Por mi mente ha pasado
Rastros de nostalgia que ha dejado
Un amor ya fracasado
Ojos que te buscan an sabiendo
Que no estars a mi lado
Ojos que suplican que un milagro
Te devuelva a mis brazos
Qu difcil es entrar de lleno
A una vida sin encantos
Donde ni la pena puede ahogarse
En la inmensidad de un llanto
Y de noche
Mi corazn despacio
Presentir tu imagen
Perdida en el espacio
Y de noche
Mi corazn te nombra
Al presentir tu imagen
Vagando entre las sombras
Triste maldicin
Y de noche
Mi corazn despacio
Presentir tu imagen
Perdida en el espacio
Y de noche
Mi corazn te nombra
Al presentir tu imagen
Vagando entre las sombras
Triste maldicin
Alma Adentro
(Deep Within My Soul)
Sad little parade of memories
Has passed through my mind
Strains of nostalgia that have left
A love already failed
Eyes that search for you knowing
That you won't be by my side
Eyes that plead for a miracle
To return you to my arms
How difficult it is to lead
A life without enchantments
A life where even an immenseness of tears
Cannot drown one's sorrow
And at night
My heart slows
Anticipating your image
Lost in space
And at night
My heart calls out to you
Anticipating your image
Wandering among the shadows
Sad curse

Am I really here in your arms
This is just like I dreamed it would be
I feel like we're frozen in time
And you're the only one I can see
Hey, I've looked all my life for you
Now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
All my life
And I never really knew how to love
I just hope somehow I'd see
Oh I ask for a little help from above
Send an angel down to me
Hey, I've looked all my life for you
Now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
All my life
I never thought that I could feel a love so tender
Never thought I could let those feelings show
But now my heart is on my sleeve
And this love will never leave
I know
I know
Hey, I've looked all my life for you
And now you're here now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
All my life all my life
Hey, I've looked all my life for you
And now you're here now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
All my life

La madrugada me ve corriendo
Bajo el cielo que va dando color
No salgas sol a nombrarme
A la fuerza de la immigracin
Un dolor que siento en el pecho
Es mi alma que sufre de amor
Pienso en ti y en tus brazos que esperan
Tus besos y tu pasin
Adnde voy, adnde voy
La esperanza es mi destinacin
Solo estoy, solo estoy
Por el monte prfugo, voy
Dias, semanas, y meses
Paso muy lejos de ti
Muy pronto te llegar dinero
Yo te quiero tener junto a mi
El trabajo me llena las horas
Tu risa no puedo olividar
Vivir sin tu amor no es vida
Vivir de prfugo, igual
Adnde voy, adnde voy
La esperanza es mi destinacin
Solo estoy, solo estoy
Por el monte prfugo, voy
Adnde voy, adnde voy
La esperanza es mi destination
Solo estoy, solo estoy
Por el monte prfugo, voy

Ran away from home when I was seventeen
To be with you on the California coast
Drinking margaritas all night in the old cantina
Out on, out on the California coast
Don't think that I'm ungrateful
And don't look so morose
Adios, adios
We never really made it baby
But we came pretty close
Adios, adios
Going up north where the hills are winter green
I got to leave you on the California coast
Going where the water's clear and the air is cleaner
Than, than the California Coast
Our dreams of endless summer
Were just too grandiose
Adios, adios
And I miss the blood red sunset
But I miss you the most
Adios, adios
Adios, adios
How many times have I read farewell lines
In the things that you never seemed to say
How many times have I read those last lines
And wondered why it ended this way
Words of goodbye and all those loving lines
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time
How you would write about the bright lights
And your words always clouded up my eyes
How you would write about the bright lights
It's a wonder that I never realized
Our race was run now another's just begun
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time
When your letters stopped the tears that I fought
How they came in the flood of memories
When your letters stopped the tears that I fought
How they ran like the rivers to the seas
Each sunny day you slip further away
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time
Ruler of my heart
Driver of my soul
Where can you be
I wait patiently
My heart cries out
Pain inside
Where can you be
I wait patiently
When you're alone
The going gets rough
Come back, come back, come back
I've had enough
Make me a queen
Happy again
Hear my plea
I wait patiently
Ruler of my heart
Driver of my soul
When you're alone
The going gets rough
Come back, come back, come back
I've had enough
Make me a queen
Happy again
Hear my plea
I wait patiently
Ooh ooh ummh
Ruler of my heart
Driver of my soul
Ooh ooh ooh
Ruler of my heart
Driver of my soul
We said we'd walk together baby come what may
There come the twilight should we lose our way
If as we're walking hands should slip free
I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind wait for me
We swore we'd travel darling side by side
And we'd help each other stay in stride
Each lover's steps fall so differently
So I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind wait for me
Everyone dreams of love lasting and true
But you and I know what this world can do
Let's make our steps clear that the other may see
And I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind wait for me
Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead
And there 'neath the oak's bough soon we'll be wed
Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees
I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind wait for me
Darling I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind wait for me
Darling I'll wait for you
I've been down but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more
All, all that you dream
Comes through shining silver lining clouds
Clouds change the scene
Rain starts washing all those cautions into your life
Makes you realize just what is true
What else can you do
Just follow the rules
Keep your eyes on the road that's ahead of you
I've been down but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more
All of the good times were ours
In the land of milk and honey
Time, time adds its scars
Rainy days they turn to sunny ones
Living the life, living the life, loving everyone
I've been down but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more
I've been down but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more
Well, it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl
Ah, but the way you look I understand that you are not impressed
But I heard you let that little friend of mine
Take off your party dress
I'm not gonna get too sentimental
Like those other sticky valentines
'Cause I don't know if you were loving somebody
I only hope he wasn't mine
Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh, Alison, my aim is true
Well, I see you've got a husband now
Well, did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake?
You used to hold him right in your hand
Ah, but he took all he could take
Sometimes, I wish that I could stop you from talking
When I hear the silly things that you say
I think, somebody better put out the big light
'Cause I can't stand to see you this way
Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh, Alison, my aim is true, my aim is true
When you went away I cried
Cried for so long
And I wanted you to stay
Ah but that was all wrong
The pain you left behind
Has become part of me
And it's burned out a hole
Where my love used to be
But it's not losing you
That's got me down so low
I just can't find another man
To take your place
Well you know I love you
But that wasn't enough
We both fell apart
When things got too tough
And I've learned how to give now
But what good
But what good would that do
No one can touch me
The way you used to do
And it's not losing you
That's got me down so low
I just can't find another man
To take your place
Well I know your opinion
Of me is not good
Please try to understand
That I'd change
Well I'd change if I could
And this coldness inside me
Well it's starting to build
And a woman can't be a woman
Unless she's fulfilled
But it's not losing you
That's got me down so low
I just can't find another man
To take your place
There's no one can
Falling down
I'm falling down
I need to sleep
Come a long long way
No time for weeping
No time for weeping
Quiet now
I'm falling down
I'm falling down
I have heard a million tales
I have told a million more
Some of them must have been true
But I don't know anymore
I'm falling down
Do your dance on my head
Heavy steps of the dead
Everything the snow surrounds
Falling falling falling falling
I'm falling
I'm falling
Down
I'm falling down
Tonight my bag is packed
Tomorrow I'll walk these tracks
That will lead me 'cross the border
Tomorrow my love and I
We'll sleep 'neath auburn skies
Somewhere across the border
We'll leave behind my dear
Pain and sadness we've found here
And we'll drink from the Brazos' muddy waters
Where the sky grows gray and wide
We'll meet on the other side
There across the border
For me you'll build a house
High upon a grassy hill
Somewhere across the border
Where pain and memory
Pain and memory have been stilled
There across the border
Sweet blossoms fill the air
Pastures of gold and green
Roll down into cool clear waters
And in your arms 'neath open skies
I'll kiss the sorrow from your eyes
There across the border
Tonight we'll sing the songs
And I'll dream of you, my corazon
And tomorrow my heart will be strong
And may the saints' blessing and grace
Carry me safely into your arms
There across the border
For what are we
Without hope in our hearts
That someday we'll drink from God's blessed waters
And eat the fruit from the vine
I know that love and fortune will be mine
Somewhere across the border
Could have been the kiss of my life
Could have been the death of me
Coulda been that I was just too scared
To wait around and see
You coulda been a guardian angel
I coulda been the wicked one
Besides the buttons on our shirts
What else did we leave undone
When we ran
When we ran
When we ran
Was it just the time slipping through our hands
Right through our hands
Maybe I was trying to tell you
I've never known a love so strong
Maybe in the shadows of the night
We just couldn't tell right from wrong
Maybe it's a real life story
Living with a sad regret
Maybe you were just a sweet dream baby
Something that I'll never forget
When we ran
When we ran
When we ran
Was it just the time slipping through our hands
You only had to say the words
I would have turned around and heard
But as it is we can't look back
The mind is just a loose cannon baby
And the memories are rolling dice
We found something one time baby
But we thought about it twice
And we ran
And we ran
And we ran
And we ran
And we ran
And we ran
There are some things you can't cover up with lipstick and powder
Thought I heard you mention my name can't you talk any louder
Don't come any closer
Don't come any nearer
My vision of you can't come any clearer
Oh I just wanna hear girls talk
Got a loaded imagination being fired by girls talk
It's a more or less situation inspired by girls talk
But I can't say the words you want to hear
I suppose you're gonna have to play it by ear right here and now
Girls talk
And they wanna know how girls talk
And they say it's not allowed girls talk
If they say that it's so don't they think that I know by now
That the word up on everyone's lips stick that you're dedicated
You may not be an old fashioned girl but you're gonna get dated
Was it really murder were you just pretending
Lately I have heard you are the living end
Girls talk
And they wanna know how girls talk
And they say it's not allowed girls talk
And they think they know how girls talk
if they say that it's so don't they think that I know by now
But I can't say the words you want to hear
I suppose you're gonna have to play it by ear right here
There are some things you can't cover up with lipstick and powder
Thought I heard you mention my name can't you talk any louder
Don't come any closer
Don't come any nearer
My vision of you can't come any clearer
Girls talk
And they think they know how girls talk
And they say it's not allowed girls talk
And they think they know how girls talk
Girls talk, girls talk
I'm a sentimental sap that's all
What's the use of trying not to fall
I have no will, you made your kill
'Cause you took advantage of me
I'm just like an apple on a bough
And you're gonna shake me down somehow
So what's the use, you cooked my goose
'Cause you took advantage of me
I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know
My elbow from my ear
I suffer something awful each time you go
And much worse when you're near
Here I am with all my bridges burned
Just a babe in arms where you're concerned
So lock the doors and call me yours
'Cause you took advantage of me
I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know
My elbow from my ear
I suffer something awful each time you go
And much worse when you're near
Here I am with all my bridges burned
Just a babe in arms where you're concerned
So lock the doors and call me yours
'Cause you took advantage of me
Yeah you took advantage of me
Oh you took advantage of me
When I fall in love
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to melt in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart
It will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too
I will give my heart to you
I used to visit all the very gay places
Those come what may places
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
To get the feel of life from jazz and cocktails
The girls I knew had sad and sullen grey faces
With distingue traces
That used to be there you could see where they'd been washed away
By too many through the day twelve o'clock tales
Then you came along with your siren song
To tempt me to madness
I thought for a while that your poignant smile
Was tinged with the sadness of a great love for me
Ah yes I was wrong, again I was wrong
Life is lonely again
And only last year everything seemed so sure
Now life is awful again
A trough full of hearts could only be a bore
A week in Paris could ease the bite of it
All I care is to smile in spite of it
I'll forget you, I will
While yet you are still burning inside my brain
Romance is mush, stifling those who strive
So I'll live a lush life in some small dive
And there I'll be
While I rot
With the rest of those whose lives are lonely too
I don't care if there's powder on my nose
I don't care if my hair-do is in place
I've lost the very meaning of repose
I never put a mudpack on my face
Oh who'd have thought that I walk in a daze now
I never go to shows at night but just to matinees now
I see the show, and home I go
Once I laughed when I heard you saying
That I'd be playing solitaire
Uneasy in my easy chair
It never entered my mind
Once you told me I was mistaken
That I'd awaken with the sun
And order orange juice for one
It never entered my mind
You have what I lack myself
And now I even have to scratch my back myself
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd sing the maiden's prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again
It never entered my mind
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd sing the maiden's prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again
It never entered my mind
It never entered my mind
Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do
Can't help it
Love's always been my game
Play it how I may
I was made that way
Can't help it
Men cluster to me like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn I know I'm not to blame
Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do
Can't help it
Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do
Can't help it
Love's always been my game
Play it how I may
I was made that way
Can't help it
Men cluster to me like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn I know I'm not to blame
Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do
Can't help it
Men cluster to me like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn I know I'm not to blame
Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do
Can't help it
Oh people look around you
The signs are everywhere
You left him for somebody other than you
To be the one to care
You're lost inside your houses
There's no time to find you now
Oh your walls are burning
And your towers are turning
I've gotta leave you here
And try to get down to the sea somehow
Rock me on the water
Sister won't you soothe my fevered brow
O-oh rock me on the water
Gotta get down to the sea somehow
The road is filled with homeless souls
Every woman child and man
Who have no idea where they will go
But they'll help you if they can
Now everyone must have some thought
That's gonna pull them through somehow
Well the fires are raging hotter and hotter
But the sisters of the sun
Are gonna rock me on the water now
Rock me on the water
Sister won't you soothe my fevered brow
O-oh rock me on the water
I gotta get down to the sea somehow
Oh people look among you
It's there your hope must lie
There's a seabird above you gliding in one place
Like Jesus in the sky
We all must do the best we can
And then hang onto that gospel cloud
When my life is over
Gonna stand for the father
But the sisters of the sun
Are gonna rock me on the water now
Rock me on the water
Sister won't you soothe my fevered brow
O-oh rock me on the water
Then maybe I'll remember
Maybe I'll remember how
Rock me on the water
The wind is with me now
O-oh rock me on the water
Gotta get down to the sea somehow
I gotta get down to the sea somehow
Lover, there will be another one
To hover over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come today
When you see me fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over
It's over
Nestle in your wings my little one
A special morning brings another sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come today
When you see me fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you and show you the way to go
It's over
It's over
Well I spent my whole lifetime
In a world where the sunshine
Finds excuses for not hangin' 'round
I squandered emotions
On the slightest of notions
And the first easy loving I found
But soon all the good times
The gay times and play times
Like colors run together and fade
Oh Lord if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
And keep me from blowing away
There's times when I trembled
When my mind remembered
The days that just crumbled away
With nothing to show
But these lines that I know
Are beginning to show in my face
Oh Lord if you're listening
I know I'm no Christian
And I ain't got much coming to me
So send down some sunshine
Throw out your lifeline
And keep me from blowing away
Oh Lord if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
And keep me from blowing away
Faithless love like a river flows
Raindrops falling on a broken rose
Down in some valley where nobody goes
And the night blows in
Like the cold dark wind
Faithless love like a river flows
Faithless love where did I go wrong
Was it telling stories in a heartbreak song
Where nobody's right and nobody was wrong
Faithless love will find you
And the misery entwine you
Faithless love where did I go wrong
Well, I guess I'm standing
In the hall of broken dreams
That's the way it sometimes goes
Whenever a new love
Never turns out like it seems
It's the feeling comes and goes
Faithless love like a river flows
Like raindrops falling on a broken rose
Down in some valley where nobody goes
Faithless love has found me
Thrown it's chilly arms around me
At the dark end of the street
That's where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide our wrong
You and me, at the dark end of the street
Just you and me
I know that time is gonna take its toll
We're gonna pay for the love that we stole
Ah it's a sin and we know that it's wrong
Ah but our love keeps coming on strong
You and me, at the dark end of the street
Just you and me
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us someday
We'll steal away to the dark end of the street
Just you and me
If you take a walk downtown
And you find some time to look around
If you should see me and I walk on by
Oh darling please don't cry
Tonight we'll meet
At the dark end of the street
Just you and me
Oh you and me
Well I drove past your house last night
And I looked in the window
Lately I ain't been feeling right
And I don't know the cure, no
Still I can't keep from wondering
If I still figure in your life
Could you take me back and try me
Try me again
Could you try me again
I drove around in this lonesome town
Felt just like a beginner
Friends I saw they just brought me down
They're so cynical and bitter
Well I guess I'm just like them now
I never thought I'd turn out like that
Could you take me back and try me
Try me again
Could you try me again
Well you say that I cheated
I was not what you needed
Well you're not being kind
When you say you tried
And you know you lied
My hands are tied
Woah, try me again
I'm gonna knock on your door
Till you say you'll come back to me
And love me some more
Oh oh try me again
Will you try me again
Woah, try me again
Where have you gone my darling one
Are you on your own
Are you having fun
Is there someone to hold when you need it bad
Is it uncontrolled like the love we had
Does the day go by like a memory
Do you ever try to remember me
In an automobile or a crowded bar
Well I hope you're all right wherever you are
And if you're still within the sound of my voice
Over some radio
I just want you to know
You were always my only choice
And wherever you go
That I still love you so
If you're still within the sound of my voice
In the dead of night
Do you hear me call
Something's not quite right
No one's there at all
Did you make a mistake
Was it in your head
Or was it really me talking
To your heart instead
And if you're still within the sound of my voice
Watching this video
I just want you to know
That it always made me rejoice
Just to have you so near
There's a place for you here
If you're still within the sound of my voice
I am calling like the echo of a passing train that cries
One last time before it fades into the distant hills and dies
I am sending out a message like a ship out on the sea
In distress but only you can send a lifeline out to me
Are you still within the sound of my voice
Why don't you let me know
I just can't let you go
If it's wrong then I have no choice
But to love you until I no longer have a will
Are you still within the sound of my voice
I am calling like the echo of a passing train that cries
One last time before it fades into the distant hills
And dies
I was walking down the street
With a lot of not much to do
Wondering only if it was gonna rain
When this guy came into view
For a moment I looked crazy
And at first I couldn't work out why
Then something made me turn back the hands of time
To a careless past goodbye
Say you will change your mind
Don't be cruel
I'll be kind
You're so right
You're so wrong
So tough
So right
So wrong
You're so good
When he walked up
Me I stood there
With this picture in my mind
It was a flash like an old photograph
I keep with me all the time
Fished for silver in my pocket
Then I ran for the telephone
I dialed the number of all the reasons
Why you should button up and come on home
Say you will change your mind
Don't be cruel
I'll be kind
You're so right
You're so wrong
You're so tough
So right
So wrong
You're so good
Say you will change your mind
Don't be cruel
I'll be kind
You're so right
We're so wrong
You're so tough
So right
So wrong
You're so good
So right
So wrong
We're so tough
And so strong
Don't need a roller or a limousine
Don't need my picture in a magazine
Don't need approval of a chosen few
Tell you what I do need
I need you
Don't need no fixtures fittings or phone
I'm so unfurnished, I'm on my own
I don't need reminding when the rent is due
I tell you what I do need
I need you
I need you like a flier needs a plane
Oh I need you like a ball needs a game
I need you like a pool needs a cue
Need you, need you, need you
I need you
I don't need no cupboard kisses for company
Don't want no washed up dishes soft soaping me
I don't need no other fella, honey I refuse
Tell you what I do need
I need you
Oh I need you like a flier needs a plane
Oh I need you like a ball needs a game
I need you like a shot needs to shoot
Need you, need you, need you
I need you
Need you, need you, need you
I need you
Need you, need you, need you
I need you
I need your love so badly
I love you oh so madly
But I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
I thought at last I found you
But other loves surround you
And I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
If you'd surrender
Just for a tender
Kiss or two
You might discover
That I'm the lover
Meant for you
And I'd be true
But what's the good of scheming
I'm dreaming
For I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
Cuz I don't stand
A ghost of a chance
Phil Everly
(Chorus:)
I've been cheated, been mistreated
When will I be loved?
I've been put down.
I've been pushed 'round
When will I be loved?
(Verse:)
When I find a new man
that I want for mine,
it always breaks my heart in two.
It happens every time
I've been made blue. I've been lied to.
When will I be loved?
(Back to Verse:)
I've been cheated, been mistreated
When will I be loved?
I've been put down.
I've been pushed 'round
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me
If I know that she's worrying
I know I'd feel the same misery
We've been through so much together
We stand as one
And that's what makes it better
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me
Just what she means to me, now
Oh, you just wouldn't understand
People can say
That she's no good
But she's my woman
And I know I'm her man
And if he's got a problem
I know I've got to help him solve 'em
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with my baby
When something is wrong with my baby
We have been gay, going our way.
Life has been beautiful.
We have been young.
After you're gone life will go on,
like an old song we have sung.
(Chorus:)
When I grow too old to dream
I'll have you to remember.
When I grow too old to dream
your love will live in my heart.
So, kiss me my sweet,
and so, let us part,
and when I grow too old to dream,
that kiss will live in my heart.
Mmmm
Mmmm
And when I grow too old to dream,
your love will live in my heart.
I stand here by the Western Wall
Maybe a little of that wall stands inside of us all
I shove my prayers in the cracks
I've got nothing to lose no one to answer back
All these years I've brought up for review
Wasn't taught this but I learned something new
And to answer the distance call
At the Western Wall
I've got a heart full of fear
And I offer it on this alter of tears
Red dust settles deep in my skin
I don't know where it start and where I begin
It's a crumbling pile of broken stones
It ain't much but it might be home
If I ever loved a place at all
It's the Western Wall
I don't know if God was ever a man
But if She was I think I understand
Why He found a place to break His fall
People try to rape me always think I'm crazy
Make me burn the candle right down
Baby, I can't stay
I don't need your jewels in my frown
Now all you women are low-down gamblers
Cheating like I don't know how
Baby, I go crazy
There's fever in the funk house now
Well this low-down bitching
Got my poor feet a-itching
Can't you see the deuce is still wild
Baby, get it straight
You got to roll me
Call me the tumbling dice
Always in a hurry never stop to worry
Can't see the time passing by
Honey, got no money
I'm sixes and sevens and nines
Well, hey now baby
I'm the rank outsider
You can be my partner in crime
Baby, get it straight
You got to roll me
Call me the tumbling dice
Call me the tumbling dice
I said my, my, my
I'm the lone crapshooter
Playing the field every night
Baby, get it straight
You got to roll me
Call me the tumbling dice
You got to roll me
Babe, you got to roll me
Babe, you got to roll me
Oh, oh you got to roll me
You got to roll me
Babe, you got to roll me
Baby, baby, you got to roll me
You got to roll me
Este corazón que aún te quiere
Ya está muriendo
Tarde con tarde
Como se muere
La luz del día
Ya no puedo más
Tú me haces falta
Vuelve conmigo
Alma de mi alma
Vidita mía
Adónde estás
Adónde estás
Mátame cielo
Trágame tierra
Quiero morirme
Si no vuelve más
Ya podrás tener
El mundo entero
Y entre tus manos
Toda la dicha
Y otro cariño
Mejor que el mío
Pero ya verás
Que todo acaba
Y al verte sólo
Como hoy me siento
Siempre hace frío
Adónde estás
Adónde estás
Mátame cielo
Trágame tierra
Quiero morirme
In America you get food to eat
Don't have to run through the jungle and scuff up your feet
You just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day
It's great to be an American
Ain't no lions or tigers, ain't no mamba snake
Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake
Everybody is as happy as a man can be
So climb aboard little wog and sail away with me
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
In America every man is free
To take care of his home and his family
You'll be as happy as a monkey in a monkey tree
You're all gonna be an American
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away, sail away, sail away, sail away
Sail away, sail away, sail away, sail away
You think the love you never had might save you
But true love takes a little time
You can touch it with your fingers
And try to believe your eyes
Is it love or lies?
And so you're keeping your distance
A little bit of room around you
But if he doesn't return your call on time
Oh my my, you just act like a fool on a holiday
There's nothing that you wouldn't try
You must be a prisoner in disguise
Well this night life is my life
But there's no one else in it
And sometimes those lonesome breezes blow
But it's no show so you might as well go
If you think you could win it
Without losing and letting it show
The city is no place to hide in
Everybody knows your number
And you know that you could never be alone if you tried
You just run like a man with no reason to run
And no place to ever arrive
You must be a prisoner, look just like a prisoner
Oh what a sunny day
When they carried the radio home
Bringing him in off of the truck
And the dogs wouldn't leave us alone
Mr. Radio
Come down here to keep us company
We listen in a room
Through the miles and miles of night
Deep in the heart of the Bible Belt
In the golden radio light
Mr. Radio
Come down here to keep us company
And it's hard days out in the field
The crows in the high tree top
If the man's away from his home all day
His chickens might fall to the fox
Mr. Radio
What can you do about that uh huh
And you can take me down to a river town
Where the citizens dance till dawn
Dance so close it's a sin almost
The way they carry on
Mr. Radio
I never dreamed you could
And it's miles at the careless touch
Of a tired hand in time
When evening fell I heard a stranger sell
Dreams that were never mine
Mr. Radio
Come down here to keep us company
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, madam
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
She is sorry to be delayed
But last evening down at lover's lane she strayed, madam
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
When she woke up and found
That her dream of love had gone, madam
She ran to the man who had led her so far astray
And from under her velvet gown
She drew a gun and shot her lover down, madam
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
When the mob came and got her
And dragged her from the jail, madam
They strung her up on the old willow across the way
And the moment before she died
She lifted up her lovely head and cried, madam
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
Well, I hope that the friend that you've thrown yourself on
Gets drunk and loses her job
And every road that you travel on
Is dusty rocky and hard
I couldn't make you love me
You only made me blue
So all in all if the curtain should fall
Then I hope that it falls on you
And I will have sweet
Sweet, sweet mental revenge
I will have sweet
Sweet, sweet mental revenge
Well, I hope that the train from Caribou, Maine
Runs over your new love affair
You walk the floor from door to door
And you'll tear out your peroxide hair
I never was your woman
'Cause you were never true
So all in all if the curtain should fall
Then I hope that it falls on you
And I will have sweet
Sweet, sweet mental revenge
I will have sweet
Sweet, sweet mental revenge
I will have sweet
Sweet, sweet mental revenge
I will have sweet
LIES
Lies, lies, I can't believe a word you say.
Lies, lies are gonna make you sad some day.
Tears, tears, I've shed a million tears for you.
Tears, tears, and now you're loving someone new.
Someday I'm gonna be happy but I don't know when just now.
Lies, lies, you're breaking my heart.
You think that you're such a smart boy
and I'll believe what you say.
Well, who do you think you are, boy,
to lead me on this way?
Hey, lies, lies, I can't believe a word you say.
Lies, lies are gonna make you sad some day.
Someday you're gonna be lonely and you won't find me around.
Lies, lies, you're breaking my heart.
Someday I'm gonna be happy but I don't know where or when.
Lies, lies, you're breaking my heart.
You think that you're such a smart boy
and I'll believe what you say.
Well, who do you think you are, boy,
to lead me on tnis way?
Hey hey hey, lies, lies, I can't believe a word you say.
Lies, lies are gonna make you sad some day.
Someday you're gonna be lonely but you won't find me around.
Lies, lies, you're breaking my heart.
You're breaking my heart.
You're breaking my heart.
You're breaking my heart.
When you're lost in the rain in Juarez and it's Easter time too
And your gravity fails and negativity won't pull you through
Don't put on any airs when you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue
They got some hungry women there
And they'll really make a mess out of you
Well, if you see Saint Annie please tell her thanks a lot
I cannot move and my fingers they are all in a knot
I don't have the strength to get up and take another shot
And my best friend the doctor won't even say what it is I got
Sweet Melinda, the peasants call her the goddess of gloom
She speaks good English and she invites you up into her room
And you're so kind and careful not to go to her too soon
And she takes your voice and she leaves you howling at the moon
Well, up on housing project hill
It's either fortune or fame
You must pick one or the other
Though neither of them are to be what they claim
And if you're looking to get silly
You better go back to from where you came
Because the cops don't need you
And man they expect the same
Now all the authorities they just stand around and boast
How they blackmailed the sergeant-at-arms into leaving his post
And picking up Angel who just arrived here from the coast
Who looked so fine at first and she left looking just like a ghost
Well, I started out on burgundy but soon hit the harder stuff
Everybody said they'd stand beside me when the game got rough
But the joke was on me there was nobody even there to bluff
C. Taylor, A. Gordon
Oh I tried and I tried but I can't say good-bye
Feel so bad baby
Oh it hurts me
When I think of how you love and desert me
I'm the broken-hearted toy you play with
You got me goin'
I need you baby
I can't let go
And I want you baby
I gotta have all your love
I can't let go
Though I'm just one of your lovers
And I know there are so many others
You do something strange to me baby
You got me goin'
I need you baby
I can't let go
And I want you baby
I gotta have all your love
I can't let go
Oh I tried and I tried but I can't say good-bye
I know that it's wrong and I should be so strong
But the thought of you gone
Makes me want to hold on
You got me goin'
I need you baby
I can't let go
And I want you baby
I gotta have all your love
I can't let go
You got me goin'
I need you baby
I can't let go
And I want you baby
I gotta have all your love
I can't let go
John & Johanna Hall
(Verse 1):
Love, I am told,
is the deepest mystery,
harder to fathom
than any sea,
more precious than all
the earth and sky,
but nobody can tell you why.
(Chorus):
Give one heart, get back two;
that's the paradox of "I love you."
So when you give your heart,
you get one, too;
that's the paradox of "I love you."
(Verse 2):
If it is love for which you've cried,
you know how it feels
on the moon's dark side,
But if you baby loves you right,
you can have skyrockets any old night (Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 3):
Love can be gentle, soft and tame;
or so rough you wouldn't know its name.
Shy and wild like a runaway child,
storms of love always end up mild. (Repeat Chorus)
(Ending tag)
And you can't help sayin' it; "I love you."
Keep on sayin' it; "I love you."
You can't stop sayin' it; "I love you."
If you had no name
If you had no history
If you had no books
If you had no family
If it were only you
Naked on the grass
Who would you be then?
This is what he asked
And I said, I wasn't really sure
But I would probably be cold
And now I'm freezing
Keep the fire burning in your eyes
Pay attention to the open sky
You'll never know what will be coming down
I don't remember losing track of you
You're always dancing in and out of view
I must have thought you would always be around
Always keeping things real by playing the clown
Now you're nowhere to be found
I don't know what happens when people die
Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try
It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear
But I can't sing, I can't help listening
I can't help feeling stupid standing around
Crying is the easier down
'Cause I know that you would rather we'd be dancing
Dancing our sorrow away
No matter what fate throws in your way
Just do the steps that you've been shown
By everyone you've ever known
Until the dance becomes your very own
No matter how close to yours
Another's steps have grown
In the end there is one dance you'll do alone
Keep a fire for the human race
Let your prayers go drifting into space
You'll never know what will be coming down
Perhaps a better world is drawing near
Just as easy it could all disappear
Along with whatever meaning you might have found
Don't let the uncertainty turn you around
Go on and make a joyful sound
Into a dancer you have grown
From a seed somebody else has thrown
Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own
And somewhere between the time you arrive
The time you go may lie a reason you were alive
B. Wilson, A. Asher
I can hear so much in your sighs
And I can see so much in your eyes
There are words we both could say
But don't talk
Put your head on my shoulder
Come close
Close your eyes and be still
Don't talk
Take my hand
And let me hear your heart beat
Being here with you feels so right
We could live forever tonight
Let's not think about tomorrow
And don't talk
Put your head on my shoulder
Come close
Close your eyes and be still
Don't talk
Take my hand
And listen to my heart beat
Listen...
Listen...
Listen
Don't talk
Put your head on my shoulder
Don't talk
Close your eyes and be still
Don't talk
Put your head on my shoulder
Don't talk
Close your eyes and be still
Don't talk
Put your head on my shoulder
Don't talk
J. Webb
Man, I can understand how it might be
Kind of hard to love a girl like me
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
I just wanted you to know
I loved you better than your own kin did
From the very start
It's my own fault for what happens to my heart
You see I've always known you'd go
But you just do what you gotta do
My wild sweet love
Though it may mean I'll never kiss your sweet lips again
Pay that no mind
Just find that dappled dream of yours
Come on back and see me when you can
Well, I know they make you sad
They make you feel so bad
They say you don't treat me like you should
Folks got ways to make you feel no good
I'd guess they've got no way to know
I've had my eyes wide open from the start
And boy, you never lied to me
And the part of you they'll never see
Is the part you've shown to me
So you just do what you gotta do
My wild sweet love
Though it may mean I'll never kiss those sweet lips again
Pay that no mind
Just find that dappled dream of yours
Come on back and see me
You and I travel to the beat of a different drum
Oh can't you tell by the way I run
Every time you make eyes at me
You cry and moan and say it will work out
But honey child I've got my doubts
You can't see the forest for the trees
Oh don't get me wrong
It's not that I knock it
It's just that I am not in the market
For a boy who wants to love only me
Yes, and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm saying, I'm not ready
For any person, place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me
So goodbye I'll be leaving
I see no sense in this crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me
Oh don't get me wrong
It's not that I knock it
It's just that I am not in the market
For a boy who wants to love only me
Yes, and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm saying, I'm not ready
For any person, place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me
So goodbye I'll be leaving
I see no sense in this crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer
Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses
You've been out riding fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
But I know that you've got your reasons
These things that are pleasing you will hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy
She'll beat you if she's able
The queen of hearts is always your best bet
Well, it seems to me some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the things that you can't get
Desperado
You know you ain't getting younger
Your pain and your hunger are driving you home
And freedom, oh, freedom
Well, that's just some people talking
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime
Sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losing all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away
Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be raining but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, let somebody love you
Life isn't easy, love never lasts
You just carry on and keep moving fast
I pulled off the highway and rolled into town
I'm just fancy free, babe, and I travel 'round
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes down
Where can I run to, how have I sinned
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
And my thoughts are filled with memories
They won't let me be
But if all the stars are shining bright
Well, they would not let me see
It's so cold and the rain keeps blowing
It's tearing through the town
But I'm still fancy free, darling
And I travel 'round
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes down
Oh, where can I run to, how have I sinned
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
Sometimes I'm up, most times down
Oh, where can I run to, tell me, how have I sinned
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
Who can I turn to, tell me, where to begin
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
When you cry like a rainstorm
Now blue ain't the word for the way that I feel
And a storm is brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that's it real
You're someone else's love now, you're not mine
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
But my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
That's why I'm lonely all the time
Please take these treasured dreams I had for you and me
Take all the love I thought was mine
Someday my crazy arms will hold somebody new
Right now I'm so lonesome I could die
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
But my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
You're someone else's love now, you're not mine
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling blue
I know you'd love me as long as you wanted
Then someday leave me for somebody new
Worry, why should I let myself worry?
Wondering, what in the world did I do?
I'm crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for crying and crazy for trying
And I'm crazy for loving you
Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wondering, what in the world did I do?
I'm crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
Hey, Colorado
It was not so long ago
I left your mountains
To try life on the road
But I'm tired of that race
It was much too fast a pace
And I think I've found my place
Colorado, I want to come home
I had a man there
But I left him far behind
I could have loved him
If I'd only had the time
Ah, but I stopped along my way
Just long enough to say
That I'd really like to stay
But my baby, you know I have to go
I was too young
To know what I'd done
I made my plans
But I was wrong
Yes, I was wrong
Colorado
Is it too late to change my mind
I've done some thinking
And I'm trying hard to find
A way to come back home
'Cause I've been so very long alone
Won't you take care of your own?
Colorado
I think I'm coming home
I want to come home
Oh, you speak the words, locked in my breast
But it's late for me, let an old man rest
One more black and tan on the barricade
To keep me safe from loving
Well, I close my eyes, close my eyes
To the cold flame of the Northern Lights
Well, I close my eyes, close my eyes
And I see you still in the shuttered night
What a newfound friend, his honesty
To see ourselves as others see
To see the shy boy inside the man
Is that all I am, just starved of loving?
Well, I close my eyes, close my eyes
To the cold flame of the Northern Lights
Well, I close my eyes, close my eyes
All I left behind should come as no surprise
To me since I fell through the black hole of your eyes
Only little things inconsequential I could say
Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway
Silver earrings in Wichita
Beaded moccasins in Tonopah
But I had you so, I just let them go
The flannel shirt I wore to keep me from the cold
When we drove from Boston all the way to Buffalo
The leather boots I bought, so many miles ago
I took them off to follow you into the Ohio
Never did my armor feel so thin
Silk was all I had between me and your skin
Like waterloo, I lost that too
And the gold bracelet with my fathers name inscribed
On the back by the one who loved him all her life
The way I too could have loved you
The Spanish shawl, I put across the broken shade
Of the lamp that lit the room that last night near Coeur d'Alene
Only little things inconsequential I could say
Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway
Well I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming
Sayin' something about a queen
There were peasants singing and drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree
There was a fanfare blowing to the sun
There was floating on the breeze
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the twentieth century
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the twentieth century
I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst through the sky
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like I could cry
I was thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie
Thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie
I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun
There were children crying and colors flying
All around the chosen ones
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun
Flying Mother Nature's silver seed
To a new home in the sun
Flying Mother Nature's silver seed
