Sleeping at night in a plaster board box
Scratching the earth with the nails on my fingers
And the ground pukes up rocks and rocks and more rocks
And when the seeds finally reach the ground
It's all been for nothing
I hear the cries of children at night
I watch their faces grow sallow with hunger
Who draws the line between what's wrong and right
And when I ask my life is for
It's all been for nothing
Save your regrets for the dead, but for the living
Give them love and give them bread
One more hungry mouth to be fed
Remember the living
Give them love, give them breadStanding in the light of the kitchen screen door
Like some kind of untouchable stuck in Calcutta
I almost forget what I'm standing here for
And I don't know what to do but I know
I won't leave with nothing
Where are the days when life was carefree
Why must I suffer this, what was my crime
Begging or thievery, which shall it be
Is there no other choice for me
I can't live with nothing
Justice only comes to the dead
And when they ask me what life is for
I must give them something
Voodoo woman made a doll of me
And ever since then I been in misery
She said I did her pretty little daughter bad
And ever since then she's been driving me mad
Let me go, let me go, Tecolote
Set me free, let me be, Tecolote
Drums keep beatin' in my head all night
Poltergeists knockin' on my left and right
Pain and a fever running 103
Just because her daughter wants to marry me
Rather die, rather die than get married
Let me go, tell her no, tell her no
(Solo)
You heard my story and you now know why
A strange old woman makes a grown man cry
And next time a pretty pretty turns your head
You better take a look at her mother instead
Let me go, let me go, Tecolote
Let me be, set me free, let me free
You say you're down and out
And need some help to get you through each day
Well, here's a thought or two
I've used and like to pass them on your way
I found them lying there
The answers that you say you're looking for
Make what you will of them
And you can change the way it was before
You got to make it by yourself
You know you got to make it by yourself
I'll be your friend and I'll lend a helping hand
But you got to try and help yourself before I can
I hear you talk of all the happiness
And emptiness you've known
Well, let me reassure you
Never were you really all alone
They say in quiet desperation many people cannot see
They cannot see the simple truth
That's not the way it has to be
You got to find it for yourself
God helps the man who helps himself, amen
I am your friend and I'll lend a helping hand
But you gotta try and help yourself before I can
We got to help each other (each other)
You got to help your brother when you can
When you can
Now don't you think that I was preachin'
I'm just reachin' out for you
'Cause that's the only way
That I know how to get the message through
Then you in turn and got to learn and teach it
To somebody who
Who felt the happiness and emptiness the same as you
You know I've got to leave here
If I can pull myself up to the door
You see I've tried my best to stay here
But I can't see you anymore
There's something I've just gotta tell ya
There's something keeps bringing me down, ya know
There's one thing more I've just gotta ask ya
Won't you please let me go?
If I'm to meet my master
If I'm to rule my fate
You know it couldn't come any faster, babe
But see I know it's not too late
Time has not been good for us
No time has not been kind
We've done all that we could for us
More time won't change my mind
And when my life is over
And I'm walking out in the rain
Let me lie down in the clover
And look up to the sun again
It's not that I did not love you
But something kept bringing me down, ya know
There's something that I've just gotta tell you
Once again now, baby
Let me go, let me go
Took The Last Train
Took the Last Train to St. Tropez
Had in mind to dance the night away
Experimented with a cognac high
When in France you give everything a try
Soon the crowd dwindled down to two
Not a soul around but me and you
You just smiled in French and took my hand
Spoke the words I tried my best to understand
You're tellin' me-
Viens chez moi
Ce soir va jamais terminer
On va rester toujours ensemble-you're
tellin' me
Come with me
Tonight will last forever
We wiII stay together always
Wake the next day and found her note
Love ya, goodbye that's all she wrote
And every night down at the place we met
I wait for her and those sweet words I
can't forget
You're tellin' me-
Viens chez moi
Ce soir va jamais terminer
On va rester toujours ensemble-'cause
I want you to
Come with me
Tonight will last forever
We wiII stay together always
Take comfort where you find it
whatever gets you through
Take comfort don't be blind to it
You must do what's a right for you
Every one at times must run for cover
Don't you know you really can't be blamed
For in this you're just like any other
There's no need, no need to feel ashamed
Take comfort where you see it
Whatever makes it right
Take comfort when you need it
To help you through the night
By the way we live in our confusion
And the way that we misspend our youth
By the time we're stripped of our illusions
We may find illusions are the truth
(David Gates)
No one has heard
No one has seem her
Nobody else
Carin' but me
She was a child
She was a woman
When she was here - She was my lady
Never before
Was I dependin'
Then she came on
Filled in my life
She kept me on
My best behavior
She was my lord - She was my savior
She became my sanctuary
Some place I could lay me down
She would always help to carry
All the things that weigh me down
Nobody knew
How much I loved her
Not even her
Not even me
She was my queen
She was my lover
When she was here
There was no other
Part-Time Love
I need somebody who's consistent
with me
Someone already there when I need
company
'Cause when l'm feeling low
I don't want to have to go out
looking
For a part-time kind of love
And when the dreams and rainbows
start to disappear
Don't want somebody up and running
out here
'Cause when you stop and start
Baby it's just too hard upon
my heart
That part-time kind of love
And I can't take you darling living here
wait and see
I want somebody who's committed
now to me
Somewhere, someday you'll have
to take a chance
So if you like the music baby
get up and dance
And if we grow together daring to dream
I know we'll find our shares of
peaches and cream
And when the juices flow
I don't want no no no excuses
Just want your full time love
for me
Just want your full time love
for me.
Take away the moment
That began the lonely night
Take it away
And you'll be back in my life
'Cause I need you back in my life
Take me back to the time
When I could live in your light
If that's the only way to live in your love
Take me back
If that's the way for me to live in your love
Take me back
If I must cling to someone
Then you must be the someone
On my own, on my way
Lookin' back to the day
Back to the day when I could live in your love
Take me back
I got to find a way to live in your love
Take me back
Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
We've got a lifetime to share
So much to say
And as we go
From day to day
I'll feel you close to me
But time alone will tell
Let's take a lifetime to say,
";I knew you well";
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow
For all we know
Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
Let's take a lifetime to say
";I knew you well";
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow
For all we know.
Ann a-sleepin' on my bed
Hair a-tumblin'' round your head
You will always be apart of me
When I look in your eyes... it's my reflection I see
Ann I wonder how you knew
I needed someone just like you
Were you on a beam of guiding light
That came in my life... late that September night.
And though I try to hold back the years
I cannot hold the dawn
And so I try to hold back the tears
When love has grown up and gone...
Ann I'll love you 'till I die
And when you hear this lullabye
I'll be with you though we're far apart
And you'll be with me... right here inside my heart.
Move over
Move over
Let the man in
Move over
Look out you'll let the man of sin in
He may tell you what be think of you
Not by his words but by the things be 'll do
Move over
Move over
Let be man come in
Move over
Move over
Let his love come into your heart
You may think you're 'bout to be abused
Yeah, but then again you just might be amused
Move over
Move over baby
You're too far over
Move over baby
You may think that he's a friend in need
But I've heard it said that he's a friend indeed
Move over
Move over baby
You're got to move ever if you want his love
I'm driftin' down the street
Asking of all I meet
Don't you know me from somewhere
Hazel eyes and curly hair
Have you seen me anywhere
Look at me
I'm blending into the wall
And I wonder if I'm really here at all
Time goes by
So do I
But no one blinks an eye
Mirrors aren't reflecting me
Laws aren't protecting
And no one's expecting me
On the edge
I feel like I'm going to fall
And I wonder if I'll never land at well
Loneliness comes and stays
Torturing nights and days
People stare but cannot speak
Hearts are strong
But tongues are weak
Maybe all our minds are meek
Look at me
I'm fading into the floor
And wonder if I'm living anymore.
I could I could keep you company could
I could I could keep you so happy can
I can I can I make you feel really fine
We could we could we make love this time
We could we could we make love so fine
You¡¯re old enough to know from where we
Come and where we go.
And what we¡¯re here for
What do you fear for
It¡¯s hard enough to hear the though in mind
That now you¡¯re there
And then you¡¯re gone
Let¡¯s get in
(Repeat first verse)
You¡¯re never really tried let yourself be satisfied
Now don¡¯t deny it
Until you try it
You¡¯re played the game so long
You think that life goes on and on
You better use it
Before you lose it.
In this day and age where changes happen twice as fast
Sometimes I get wonderin' if anything will last
People changin' partners like they change their underwear
Maybe I'm old-fashioned but darlin' I still care.
CHORUS
And I'm yours for life
Come and be my lifetime
Come and take the love I have for only one
Yes I'm yours for life
Come and share my lifetime
Share the world until our day is done.
Time that I first saw your face I loved you where you stood
In your eyes a kindness - told me you were good
And if the world could share your heart there'd never be a war
And darlin' if I tried and tried I could not love you more
CHORUS
Sometime I pray that you will always be the way you always
Are to me
'Cause if I lost you to the winds of change then I would cease to be.
Sure gets funny thinkin' 'bout money
Makin' my daily bread,
The more you make, the more they take
You never seem to get ahead,
You break your backs just to pay your tax
Then you don't like the way that it's spent,
Somewhere back we jumped the track
This isn't what the governmeant...
Bet my now I've made a hundred thou
But I ain't saved a dime,
The IRS came out best
They got my money every time,
It ca¨ªn't be fair when the millionaire
Never has to give them a cent,
Sad to say we've lost the way
This isn't what the governmeant ...
Then the war , don't know what for
Somebody said it had to be fought,
I'se sposed to go but I said no
'Cause I'se afraid I might get shot,
but here I am on my hands and knees
scrubbin' in my dungarees
I got burned but I finally learned
This isn't what the governmeant
I don't love you
I just want you
If I don't have you never be the same
I don't love you, but girl you'd drive a man
Insane
I don't love you
But I need you
I don't even want to know your name
Every single minute you know is causing me
Great pain
I don't come from 'cross the RR tracks
I don't need no little body hangin' off my back
If you got plans for me
You'd better start singin' the blues.
First time it's rained since I came to the city
Seemed like a good time to write
And even now as I look out my window
Rain clouds are chasing the light
The play games of magic in the night...
Lately I've stayed with the lady from Denver
She said to come by for awhile
Took me on down to her place by the river
Carried me off on her smile
We play games of magic all the while...
I hope this letter finds you well
I wrote to tell you 'bout my change of plans
I won't be home tomorrow night
I'll be alright I hope you'll understand
All of my life I've been looking for somethin'
But I guess you know me by now
Searching for secrets and being the eternal child
Playing games of magic all the while.
You have taken the heart of me
And left just a part of me,
And look, look, look what you've done.
Well, you took all the best of me,
So come get the rest of me,
And look back, finish what you've begun.
There is some one you ought to meet;
It's me, Mister Incomplete.
Look, at what I've become.
For it's due to the lack of you
That I'm now only half of two.
Look back, finish what you've begun.
Come and sit by my side
Where there's nothing to hide.
You will try to decide what you needed;
But from where I stand today,
I can't think of the way
Or the words that I might say
That will change your mind and make you stay.
Oh, no, not for all the times I've pleaded.
Look, look, look what you've done.
You have taken the best of me,
So come get the rest of me,
And look back; finish what you've begun.
I'll be done.
Put your cards on the table
Gotta lay your money down
Show your heart if you're able
Gotta lay your money down
I've waited long enough
This time I'm gonna call your bluff
And see what you got
And what you been keepin' from me
Girl if you really mean it
Put your lovin' on the line
'cause if I've never seen it
How 'm I gonna know it's mine
Baby I'm through...
With nothin' but talk from you
Gotta lay your money down
All these moves you been makin'
Like a game of keep away
I've had all I'm a-takin'
It's catchin' up to you today
'cause baby I'm through...
With nothin' but talk from you
Went to my family doctor
For a pain inside my head
Told him that since you left me
I was feelin' like just about dead
Doctor, what can you give me
And should I take one or two
Can you tell me just what it's gonna do
Will it save me from what I'm goin' through
Will it ease the pain
Will it ease the pain
Will it help to pacify my brain
He told me not to worry
He said to come back next week
He asked me for a picture
Of the girl who made me lose my sleep
Well, all week long I suffered
Didn't know what to do
But went back to him when the week was
Through
And he gave me an artificial you
And it eased the pain
Yes, it eased the pain
Everytime I look into you it tears me up inside
Got a hunger for ya, woman, that just can't be denied
Don't tell me no, ain't my kind of answer
Don't tell me no, won't accept that answer
Makin' lots of money, honey, ain't what I call success
And I won't have what I need until you tell me yes
Don't tell me no - ain't my kind of answer
Don't tell me no - ain't no kind of answer
That's how much I want you
Like a good brew, like a fine wine
You improve with time and I want you, I love you
That's how much I need ya
You're a part of me, my philosophy, my reality
And I want you, that's how much I love you
Realize alibis ain't too wise
And they just won't cut this time
You're gonna give this boy a chance
'Cause he's apt to blow your mind
Don't tell me no, ain't my kind of answer
I'd like to take you home girl, and make you mine.
I'd get you all alone girl, and take my time.
Think how you feel in your heart when you climb to the top of,
Of a big roller coaster ride.
You're gettin' high on desire worth waitin'
On the other side.
I'd like to treat you nice girl, and treat you mean.
I'd get you on your own girl, and fill your dreams.
Think how you feel in your heart when you get to the fall,
Of a big roller coaster ride.
That's how it is and the way that it would be
If you come with me.
Blue satin pillow,
Black satin silhou-
Ette on the window
Shade of the night.
Soft light a glowin'
Sweet night a goin'
Out like the candle's
Flickerin' light
You know by now it's your love that I'm after
And I don' want no alibi.
There's just no need to take no for an answer,
Yes is in your eyes.
(fading ...)
I'd like to take you home girl, and make you mine.
I'd get you all alone girl, and take my time.
I wanted love so very bad that
I could almost tasted it
And so I gave mine all to you
And hoped you would not wast it
I laid awake the whole night long
And wondered was I wrong
But when you woke and touched my face
I knew that I belonged
Belonging to someone I find is very necessary
The load is lighter on your mind
When someone helps to carry
And even though I'm strong enough
To make it on my own
I would not even care to try
To live my life alone
For if I lived my life alone
With no one to belong to
There'd be no one to pledge my heart
Or sing my song of love to
My melodies would soon dry up
And the words would leave me too
It all would come to pass if I
Could not belong to you
I wanted love so very bad that
I could almost taste it
And when I gave mine all to you
Take me anyway you want me
'Cause I need your love to see me through
You can make me anyway you want me
That's all that I can offer you
I have tried so hard to please you
But I just can't seem to reach you
Tried, tried a little kindness
Every night and day like I knew I should
But you can take me, yes and you can leave me
But I always stayed, and you knew I would
Come on, come on closer now
I will get to you somehow
Come on, come on closer now
I will get to you somehow
But you got to show me how
Please, please baby, please
Please, baby show me the way to your heart
You got to take me anyway you want me
Or take me just, just the way I am
Here in the afterglow of what we've done,
What remains here in the after show
Of what we've seen.
Is it strange to be falling away now
Or would you say we should have known
It would end this way and both of us turn to dust.
We went deeper deeper in debt to games and lies
We got over our head and never realized
How, when or why.
But now as I sit reflecting on your face
In my hand
Now I can see your picture helps retrace
All the steps we took, places we went to,
Thoughts that we tried, tripping along
On a love we never understood with no guide.
Many things were taken for granted all along
Firm foundations never were planted
All went wrong.
We fell down, and broke in a million pieces,
We couldn't put it all together,
We couldn't put it all together again
Day breaks around me;
I've lost another night's iife.
Now it's as clear as it can be;
I want you with me.
Echoes surround me;
Shadows of things that once were.
They seem to say it so easy.
I want you with me, want you with me,
Want you with me, and I need you by my side.
I need you with me; my heart is pinnin' for you,
Soon I'll be back and then you'll see,
With you I want me.
I want and need you by my side.
Here I am children
Go where I go
Don't ask why children
Know that I know
He say I am that I am
I am has sent me to you
He is I am that I am
And he says what I must do
Follow me children
Don't cry no more
You will be free children
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
LOOK
You have taken the heart of me
And left just a part of me
And look, look, look what you’ve done
Well you took all the best of me so come get the rest of me
And look back finish what you begun
Be done
There someone you ought to meet, it’s me mister incomplete
Look back what I’ve become
For it’s due to the lack of you
That I’m now only half of two
Look, I say back , finish what you begun
Oooohhh be done
Some and sit by my side where there’s nothing to hide
And we try and decide what you needed
But from where I stand today I can’t think of a way
Know the words that I might say
that would change mind and make you stay
Oh’ No not for all the times I’ve pleaded
Look, look, look, look, look what you’ve done
You have taken the best of me so come get the rest of me
And look back finish what you’ve begun
And be done
I know the times the times are hard to bear
It's hard to find someone to really care
But before I went down and out
Here's what I used to think about, think about:
London Bridge is always fallin' down,
But there it stood within the heart of town
Reminding everyone of life behind and life to come
The changes taking place are everywhere
The centuries past have nothing to compare
Where they stand, where they trip and fall
Watch the writing on the wall, on the wall
London Bridge is fallin' down at last,
And so another memory of the past
Has fell beneath the blade, but soon the dead may be repaid
I know things just can't evolve for all eternity
The thoughts will leave, will never die, and now so you can see
London Bridge is finally fallin' down,
It packed it up and shipped it outta town
And though the horror's gone, the memory will linger on
London Bridge is finally fallin' down,
It used to stand within the heart of town
Reminding everyone of life behind and life to come
There's a reason for the life that you live
And there's pleasin' that I know you can give
And I been crayin' the love you been sayin'
So baby won't you give it to me
You're tellin' me no - no - no
You don't want to let your love go
I'm tellin' you yes - yes - yes
You really oughta be gettin' some happiness
I made a motion and it's out on the floor
And it's a notion that I'd love to explore
'Cause I been tastin' the love you been wastin'
So baby won't you give it to me...
You're a lady
And I'm here in the palm of your hand
Such a lady
How much more do you think I can stand?
Just When I Needed You Most
Written and Performed by Randy VanWarmer
You packed in the morning and I
Stared out the window and I
Struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way
Now I miss you more than I
Missed you before and now
Where I'll find comfort, god knows
Cos you left me just when I needed you most
Now most every morning I
Stare out the window and I
Think about where you might be
I've written you letters that I'd like to send
If you would just send one to me
Cos I need you more than I
Needed before and now
Where I'll find comfort, god knows
Cos you left me just when I needed you most
You packed in the morning, I
Stared out the window and I
Struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way
Now I love you more than I
Loved you before and now
Where I'll find comfort, god knows
Cos you left me just when I needed you most
Oh yeah, you left me just when I needed you most
It don't matter to me
If you really feel that
You need sometime to be free
Time to go out searching for yourself
Hoping to find time to go to find
And it don't matter to me
If you take up with some
one who's better than me
'Cause your happiness is all I want
For you to find peace your piece of mind
Lotta people have an ego hang up
'cause they want to be the only one
How many came before it really doesn't matter
just as long as you're the last
Everybody's moving on and try to find out
what's been missing in the past
And it don't matter to me
If your searching brings you back together with me
'Cause there'll always be an empty room
waiting for you
An open heart
waiting for you
Time is on my side
'Cause it don't matter to me
It don't matter to me
It don't matter to me
It don't matter to me
It don't matter to me
It don't matter to me
'Cause there'll always be an empty room
waiting for you
An open heart
waiting for you
Time is on my side
Baby if you only knew
Everything I need I get from you
I'll never let you out of sight
I need you through the day and night, baby
Always there to see me through
Darlin' don't you know I'm hooked on you
Habits I've had before
But never came back so much for more
I need your lovin' every day
I couldn't live without it, no way
And everybody knows it's true
Everybody knows I'm hooked on you
Well I've never been dependin'
And never thought I would
Oh but now I find that I don't mind,
The change is for the good
So don't be feelin' sorry,
For the freedom that I lost
'cause I found out what I'm missin',
And I'm glad to pay the cost
Now that I've tasted you
I know nobody else will ever do
I'm glad that I can say you're mine
I love ya 'cause your sugar's so fine
And no one else'll ever do
There's nothin' like bein' hooked on you
Always there to see me through
I wanna dance with you this whole night
I hope the music never slows up
I hope this place don't never close up
Hold tight
'cause you're the only one who feels right
Girl I know it's now or never
I wanna dance with you forever
So hold on tight - never let me go, baby
'cause I can feel the rhythm of your love
And when you get yourself in motion
Girl it's tearin' my emotions right in two
Hold tight
And we will dance into the moonlight
All the stars they will surround us
We will be so glad we found us
So hold on tight - never let me go, baby
'cause I can feel the rhythm of your love
And when you get yourself in motion
I get lovin' notions all for you - yes I do
Hold tight
And we will dance into the moonlight
I hope the music never slows up
(David Gates)
He's a good lad
A little bit shy so you'll try and have to understand
Such a good lad
And just for a while the guy'll need a helping hand
His word are hard to follow, but his heart has found a way
To show you the things that he never could say;
He's a good lad
A little bit wild but his style is really gentle and kind
He ain't so bad
Right to the end he's a friend, about the best you can find
And as you come to know him, and his needs are comin' through
You'll flash on the day I was talkin' to you.
And he needs somebody to love
Yes he needs somebody to be worthy of -
He's a good lad
And if you come to want him, like I know he wants you to
You'll see all the things I was sayin' are true
And he needs somebody to love
Yes he needs somebody to be worthy of -
He's a good lad.
Goodbye Girl
All your life you’ve waited for love to come and stay
And now that I have found you must not slip away
I know its hard believing the words you heard before
But darling you must trust them just once more
Cause baby goodbye doesn’t mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn’t mean we’ll never be together again
If you wake up and I’m not there I won’t be long away
Cause’ the things you do my goodbye girl will bring me back to you
I know you been taken, afraid to hurt again
You fight the love you feel for me instead of given’ in
But I can wait forever and helping you to see that I was meant for you and you for me
So remember goodbye doesn’t mean for ever
Let me tell you goodbye
Doesn’t mean we’ll never be together again
Though we maybe so far apart you still would have my heart
Friends and Lovers
Friends and lovers
Saying goodbye to each other
Their way, you’re way
Gathered in gardens and parting in doorways
And it's over
Anyway that's what the papers said.
And I wonder
What was going on inside your head
You were there
You were there
I'd like to ask
Did anybody touch you?
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you?
Friends and lovers
Turning away from the others
Your way
Their way
Closing their doors and then climbing their
Stairways
And it's over
Anyway that's what the people say and I wonder
Does it really have to be this way
You were there
You were there I'd like to ask
Did anybody touch you.
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you.
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you?
Or did you stand alone until the darkness came
Just one more room where everybody knew your name.
Friends and lovers
Ever apart from others
Endless hallways
Just say goodbye and it's over for always
And it's over
Didn't you believe me when I said and I wonder
What was going on inside your head
You were there
You were there I'd like to ask
Did anybody touch you?
Come and go it went so fast
Watchin' you move across the floor
You're fire up my mind can't take it no more
You're a fancy dancer
Makin' me blind so I can't see
You're a fancy dancer
And you ain't no good for me
You know you're comin' on strong
You're my favorite misery
You captured my soul - imprisoned my heart
You know you control whatever you start
You're fancy dancer
And it ain't too hard to see
You're fancy dancer
And you'll make a fool of me
I know it won't be for long
Until you dance a new song
But just for tonight won't you dance your dance for me
I'm not the first and I won't be the last
Don't want your future - just make the night last
C'mon fancy dancer
Make me blind so I can't see
You're a fancy dancer
And you ain't no good for me
Yeh, we both knew from the start
You'd try do dance with my heart
You sheltered me from harm
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you
And I would give anything I own
And give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
You taught me how to love
What it's of, what it's of
You never said too much but still you showed the way
And I knew from watching you
Nobody else could ever know
The part of me that can't let go
And I would give anything I own
Would give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Is there someone you know?
You're loving them so
But taking them all for granted
You may lose them one day
Someone takes them away
And they don't hear the words you long to say
And I would give anything I own
Will give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Easy love, she's just a part of the day.
Easy love, she comes to give it away.
Easy to find her; any line will bind her.
What was her name. easy to quit her
No, she won't be bitter; ali in the game
Easy love, she's got a present for you
Easy love, got nothin' better to do
Yesterday's lovers slide beneath the covers.
Why do they hide? what does it matter?
I see her walking in the velvet moonlight
But then she hides behind the cloak of midnight
And as I look to see her face
She disappears without a trace...
Sometimes I find myself in endless wandering
When I awaken in the misty morning
And I must look to find my way
As I await the end of day.
Dream Lady... Dream Lady...
And I await the end of day
Till nighttime comes again to stay
I told you before - don't you hear what I say
I won't take it no more - no more makin' me stay
Down on my knees - you know I'm down on my knees yeh
Yes I've been down on my knees
But I'm through beggin' please
I won't get back on my knees.
Nobody knows - what your puttin me through
Nobody knows - if it's worth it for you
Nobody sees - you got me down on my knees
Well I've been down on my knees
And I'm through beggin' please
Don't put me back on my knees.
You know how I always loved you
Never placed myself above you,
Don't let me go - if I wish that I could
Don't tell me no - if I wish that you would
Down on my knees - you know I'm down on my knees
Well I've been down on my knees
But I'm through beggin' please
Don't shut me out, shut me out, out of your life
Don't shut the door, shut the door , door on my life
You been lockin' apart of your love away
You been holdin'out on me
I just wanna get down deep inside of you
So that I can set you free
Don't shut me out, shut me out, out of your mind
Don't be afraid, be afraid, 'fraid of what I might find
I would never be judge you for what you are
You can say what's in your heart
It's the things that you're hidin' that bother me
And it's keeping us apart so
If you really love me like you like to say you
Really do
Gotta open up and let the rest of you come
Shinin' through
Don't shut me out, shut me out of your life
Don't lock the door, lock the door , door on my life
Such a beautiful thing we could come to know
If you'll only trust in me
I just wanna get down deep inside of you
So that I can set you free and
Turn you loose so you can see, so
Don't shut me out, shut me out , out of your life and
Don't shut the door , shut the door, door on your
Sweet, sweet, yeah
Don't be afraid, be afraid , 'fraid of what I might find, no
Don't lock the door, lock the door, door on your
(David Gates)
Hear - the knock at the door and you know who is there,
you tell yourself you don't care.
Try - you try to pretend you'll just send him away,
you know it won't end that way
Your heart doesn't stand a chance, your eyes let him know
And your pride doesn't means a thing - you lost it for him years ago;
Hear - the voice at the door and it makes you afraid,
afraid but you don't know how.
Try - you try to remind him the promise he made,
he doesn't remember now
The tears welling up inside, are drowning your dreams
And your chance for another chance, keep leaving with him so it seems
Time - the friend that would bring him around,
Is turning on you and it's bringing you down.
Love - you tell him you love him and want him to change,
he says that he'll really try,
Hear - how often you hear as he's closing the door.
And softly you say goodbye...
Come again
Come again
See the clouds they drift so far below
Ever changing as they come and go
Makes me wonder why I’m up so high
When really I am down so low
Of all the wonders I was one aloud
I think that I would always choose a cloud
Always brings my feeling right out loud
Weather I’m ashamed or proud
And on the same plane coming home to you
Sometimes I think I’ve flown my whole life through
My whole life through as I wing my way to you
See the clouds there giving life below
In colors that the canvas cannot show
Keeping secrets that know one else could know
For I’m the one who told them so
Now and then I get up close to you
I’d like to stay but I’m just passing through
So I’ll have to say goodbye
I'm a fake
I can't ever write my own lyrics
Maybe it's because i don't have any imagination
I'm a fake
I listen to weird music
Music that no one has heard about
Maybe it's because i want to be different.
I'm a loner
I believe in god
Sometimes i even read the bible
Maybe i should become a catholic or a baptist
I'm religious
I never tell the truth
Not even to myself
Maybe i just need attention
I'm a liar
I eat candles
And sometimes i eat worms
Maybe i just need a shrink
I'm mentally disturbed
I bet you didn't see that one coming?
Always look so good on the outside
When you get to believin' it's true,
Then you know that you're on your way
People tug on your shirt, say you're lucky
You've got ev'rything you want, but you don't
Yet you dare not say
Go downtown people runnin' around
They climb slowly draggin' you downtown,
Horns make a dent in your mind
Plush rooms make a blindin' your eye to see,
Blindin' me. Light, lovely light,
Won't ya' shine in my window
Love, precious love won't ya' fill ev'ry room,
Been too long on the road.
Maybe cynics veins are my life blood
Maybe bitin' the hand that I feed so I'll try
Try to understand what it is that devours your freedom,
Makes you drop what you used to hold in your heart.
All the things you planned
Go upstairs with a someone who says she cares,
Like the devil she does,
What comes ever into your mind?
Then gone, leavin' you with the coldest room,
Oldest gloom. Warm, won't you be,
Please be there in my winter.
Love, precious love won't ya' come full circle,
Been too long on the road.
How can I do this to myself?
Have I taken leave of my senses?
What kind of changes make a man
Want to tear down all his fences
Whoa, I'd like to know. Home ever home,
How could I ever doubt you
Love, precious love, how could I live without you?
Been too long on the road.
Be kind to me
Be kind to me
Be kind to me
Oh baby and I'll show you the way
Kindness is a virtue
Come on now babe
It won't hurt you to be
A victim of kindness
No more hesitations
We don't need no
Explanations this time
We'll leave them behind us
While you play the martyr
You know you just
Make it harder for us
To love one another
So much indecision
That don't mean you
Got religion I think
You're gonna discover
Baby, I'm a want you
Baby, I'm a need you
You're the only one
I care enough to hurt about
Maybe I'm a crazy
But I just can't live without
Your love and affection
Givin' me direction
Like a guidin' light
To help me through my darkest hour
Lately I'm a prayin'
That you'll always be a stayin'
Beside me
Used to be that life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why
Maybe I'm a crazy
But I just can't live without you
Baby, I'm a want you
Baby, I'm a need you
You're the only one
I care enough to hurt about
Lately I'm a prayin'
That you'll always be a stayin'
Beside me
Used to be that life was just emotions passing by
Then you came along and made me laugh and made me cry
You taught me why
Baby, ooh, baby
I'm a want you
Baby, I'm a need you
And Aubrey was her name
A not so very ordinary girl or name
But who's to blame
For a love that wouldn't bloom
For the hearts that never played in tune
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing
Take away the words that rhyme it doesn't mean a thing
And Aubrey was her name
We tripped the light and danced together to the moon
But where was June?
No it never came around if it did it never made a sound
Maybe I was absent or was listening to fast
Catching all the words but then the meaning going past
But God I miss the girl
And I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be closer to her than to me
And Aubrey was her name
I never knew her but I loved her just the same
I loved her name
Wish that I had found a way
And the reasons that would make her stay
I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest
If I can't have the one I want I'll do without the best
But how I miss the girl
Everybody needs a someone
Waiting to be there when things are a-looking down
So if you feel a little lonely
Go out, find your one and only
Somewhere out there
Someone will care for you and then
Never let her go
Never let her go
You may wonder how you know love
When the moment comes that you've been a-dreaming of
Well true love takes a little longer
Your heart beats a little stronger
You'll know it's real
Inside you'll feel you're home at last then
Never let her go
Never let her go
So if you feel a little lonely
Go out, find your one and only
Open your heart
Give love a start and watch it grow
And never let her go
And never let her go
And never let her go
Never let her go
Freedom keep walkin'
Keep on your toes and
Don't stop talkin' 'bout
Freedom get goin'
Lots to be learned
And lots to be knowin' 'bout
People gotta reach 'em
Sit 'em right down
And then you gotta teach 'em 'bout
Freedom gotta win it
Gotta put yourself smack dab in it
Hey tomorrow
Now don't you go away
'Cause freedom
Just might come your way
Freedom keep tryin'
People stay alive
And people keep dyin' for
Freedom so don't lose it
You gotta understand
You just can't abuse it
Freedom get movin'
Never gonna stop
Till everybody's groovin' on
Love for one another
Callin' some friend
And callin' some brother
Hey tomorrow
You're not so far away
Mother freedom
Call on, call on me.
When you can't find a feeling inside,
And You think that there's no place to hide,
You're gonna see call on me.
Call on, call on me.
When you find that you need to be found,
And you start to come looking around
You'll come to me call on me.
If you find that it's drivin' you sad,
Well, too bad that you ain't got no sense of direction.
If you think that I'm a-leading you on, well you're wrong,
And it's time that we made some connection, come on call on me.
If you find that it's drivin' you sad,
Well, too bad that you ain't got no sense of direction.
If you think that I'm a-leading you on, well you're wrong,
And it's time for a mid-course correction, come on call on me.
The silken skies that so remind and mesmerize
And finally blind me
The downy softness of herself forever lingering
Behind me
Never ever has there been
Nor will ever be again
One someone to give you love, tenderness and be
Your friend
Hanging on 'till the bitter end
You can't measure the cost of a woman lost
But it's a heavy loss indeed for those in need.
I've tried to look inside myself
To find the strength from which to draw from
The view she saw from.
Since she tried to go too deep
Limitations brought her down
And though I'd like to free her mind
Visitations bring a frown
I gotta find the place she found
You can't measure the cost of a woman lost
But it's a heavy loss to bear when she's not there.
Where she is no one seems to know
The silken skies have swallowed her up or so it seems.
The morning mist that melts upon the meadow
Brings a touch of sorrow
The one I kissed is all alone
And may or may not know tomorrow.
Just an ordinary girl
To the ordinary eye
But so much deeper goes the vein
Like the glittering of gold you want to touch
Then you gotta hold
Oh, my love, why do you keep me waiting?
What, my love, are you contemplating?
Time goes by still you never bat an eye,
Tell me why, my love, do you have to stay far away?
Late at night while I lay asleepin',
Pale moonlight through my window weepin',
I see you in a color fantasy, cover me
Why, my love, do you have to fade away,
Have to fade away? why my love, won't you tell me
Why, my love, do you keep me waiting? why, my love,
Are you hesitating? time goes by, are you waiting
For another day? tell me why you think
Welcome to the music - welcome to the Guitar man
Know you're gonna love it - gonna do the best we can
And to help us along - think we're gonna need us a band
Lately we been playin' - travelin' in the jets and cars
Smilin' at the people - lookin'at the rock and roll stars
I tell you Carnegie Hall's better than those honky tonk bars
Well if it's true what music can do
To soothe the savage beast like they say
Well just relax and lie on your backs
'Cause beastly is the way we play
Now we're through talkin' - gonna speak another day
Love to play it funky - love to hear the symphony
And to star us along - Larry's gonna play it in "C"
Truckin' down the highway
Get outta my way
Always in a hurry
Always in between
That's where you can find me
Truckin' down the highway
Sittin' in the cab of
A ten ton machine
Gettin' pretty tired of stoppin'
In old run down cafes
Some day I'm gonna find me a woman
Rich enough to pay my way
Gonna make some inroads
Drivin' home a payload
Truckin' down the highway
Like you never seen
Gettin' pretty tired of lookin'
In truck stop cabarets
Some day I'm gonna find me a woman
Rich enough to pay my way
Then you're gonna find me
Truckin' down the highway
Sittin' in the back of
Who draws the crowd and plays so loud,
Baby its the guitar man.
Whos gonna steal the show, you know
Baby its the guitar man,
He can make you love, he can make you cry
He will bring you down, then he'll get you high
Somethin keeps him goin, miles and miles a day
To find another place to play.
Night after night who treats you right,
Baby its the guitar man
Whos on the radio, you go listen
To the guitar man
Then he comes to town, and you see his face,
And you think you might like to take his place
Somethin keeps him driftin miles and miles away
Searchin for the songs to play.
Then you listen to the music and you like to sing along,
You want to get the meaning out of each and every song
Then you find yourself a message and some words to call your own
And take them home.
He can make you love, he can get you high
He will bring you down, then he'll make you cry
Somethin keeps him movin, but no one seems to know
What it is that makes him go.
Then the lights begin to flicker and the sound is getting dim
The voice begins to falter and the crowds are getting thin
But he never seems to notice hes just got to find
Another place to play,
I need, baby I need your love right now
And I want, baby I wanna show you how
Come on, you know that we’ve waited long enough
And now it’s time, time to be lovers
I try, try to be all you want me to
And it's hard, but baby it's worth it all for you
And it hurts, making me wait for you this way
I can't go on, so come on and
Take me now, take my love
Make come true the feelings I've been dreaming of
Take me now, take me fast
You can trust in me, our love will ever last
I know we haven't known each other long
But still something so right just can't be wrong
Besides it ought to be up to me and you
When it's time, time for each other
I live, live for the days we live as one
Look back, back over all the things we've done
But now, baby I need your love right now
I can't go on, so come on and
Take me now, take my love
Make come true the feelings I've been dreaming of
Take me now, take me fast
You can trust in me, our love will ever last
Take me now, take my love
Make come true the feelings I've been dreaming of
Take me now, take me fast
Baby I'm through, runnin' it's true
I'd be a fool to try to escape you
And maybe I'm beat, but oh what a sweet surrender
You keep your rights, I'll take your nights
No one can lose when we turn the lights out
And tastin' defeat, lovin' that sweet surrender
I'm givin' up myself to you
But I didn't really lose at all
I gave the only love I've known
And it never hurt me to fall
Now that it's done, so glad you won
I know our lives have only begun
No more retreat, only my sweet surrender
Hmm Babe I may be beat
Oh! What a sweet surrender
Surrender, and you sweet thing in my life
She's a butterfly
But she flies too high
She won't speak the truth
She don't make excuses
She don't seem to care
But you want her anywhere
Cos she's the only one
She don't make the scene
But that don't change a thing
You just plan and scheme
You insist on dreaming
She won't play the game
But it's all the same
Now she's the only one
She knows too well that she's the only one
She doesn't care if you're the lonely one
You want to say it's over but it's just begun
She's the only one
She knows too well that she's the only one
She doesn't care if you're the lonely one
It's not the way you planned it
But she's really got you on the run
And when my drug will start to get me down
Shes always there you know she always can be found
And never lifted way to much on me
She always seems to be in touch with me you see she knows
And I am drawn to her it is as though
I were a moth and she the candles' glow
And when the world has got the best of me
Shes seems to have the power to change my destiny
I try to tell her what is on my mind
And even though the words are hard to find she kknows
That when she comes to me
It is as though
I were the earth and she new fallen snow
And I will sing of all the things she knows
She's fallen from grace
Somewhere in space
The twilight has come and there is no tomorrow
And night after day
She's driftin' away
And time is run out for our lady of sorrow
Lady don't you cry
This time you'll stay high
Lately when I've seen her
She would smile as if to say
That the worst was over
And there'd soon be brighter days
But I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin'
She goes to the door
And ask just once more
She gives everything she could beg, steal or borrow
And each time is her last
But time moves too fast
And time has run out for our lady of sorrow
Lady don't you frown
This time you won't come down
Just today I watched them as
They carried her away
And I can only hope that she
Has found a brighter day
But I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin'
You know that lately people ask what I'm
Doin' sittin' home alone all by myself
They know I'm used to bein' out and about and they
Don't know just what's become of myself
They say the swinger can't swing it no more
But they don't know what I'm hidin' behind my door
Because you know I know I've never known nobody
Nobody like you... Nobody to do what you do
And when you're leavin' poor me all alone
You got me sittin' here sufferin' by my telephone
I been left... I been right
And when I'm wrong I know you're gonna make me
See the light
Because you know I know I've never known nobody
Nobody like you... Nobody like you.
White other people dancin' romancin' and chancin'
Their lives every saturday night
Watchin' TV drinkin' tea her and me
And maybe even have us a fight
'Cause an argument can be outta sight
When you love to argue and you know how to fight
I don't care about soul
I don't even care about no rock and roll
You know I don't care about nothin'
Just like yesterday you come upon my mind and take it away
Just like at the time the things we did made our hearts skip away
Down on my knees I prayed
Kind woman don't go astray
When it seems at times I’ve got my mind and heart all straight away
And just when you've become a memory of the past and fade away
I see your face and think of all, of all that we had
With all of the things that you brought me, now was it so bad
Makes me wonder, just like yesterday
If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show, the you I've come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships
Then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you, you're all that's left me too
And when my love for life is running dry
You come and pour yourself on me
If a man could be two places at one time
I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolvin' spinning slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was through
Then one by one the stars would all go out
Hello, yeah, it's been a while
Not much, how 'bout you
I'm not sure why I called
I guess I really just wanted to talk to you
And I was thinking maybe later on
We could get together for a while
It's been such a long time
And I really do miss your smile
I'm not talking 'bout moving in
And I don't want to change your life
But there's a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
And I'd really love to see you tonight
We could go walking through a windy park
Or take a drive along the beach
Or stay at home and watch TV
You see it really doesn't matter much to me
I'm not talking 'bout moving in
And I don't want to change your life
But there's a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
And I'd really love to see you tonight
I won't ask for promises
So you don't have to lie
We've both played that game before
Say I love you, then say goodbye
I'm not talking 'bout moving in
And I don't want to change your life
But there's a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
And I'd really love to see you tonight
I'm not talking 'bout moving in
And I don't want to change your life
But there's a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
And I'd really love to see you tonight
I'm not talking 'bout moving in
And I don't want to change your life
But there's a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
When I saw you standing there
I ‘bout fell out my chair
And when you moved your mouth to speak
I felt the blood go to my feet
Now it took time for me to know
What you tried so not to show
But something in my soul just cried
I see the warmth in your blue eyes
Baby, I love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be
Baby, you love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you’d only let it be
You told yourself years ago
You’d never let your feelings show
The obligation that you made
For the title that they gave
Baby, I’d love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be
Baby, you’d love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you’d only let it be
Now it took time for me to know
What you tried so not to show
But something in my soul just cried
I see the warmth in your blue eyes
Baby, I’d love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be
Baby, you’d love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you’d only let it be
Baby, I’d love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be
Baby, you’d love me to want you
The way that I want to
I say again
You didn't hear me once again
So I'll have to say again
I knew you when
You didn't crawl behind your wall
Can you hear my voice at all
Must I have to say it again
I'm filling up the room with all the words I've said
Hoping that one or two will make it through
And get inside your head
I say again
You didn't hear me once again
I look into my morning mirror
And it reveals some things to me that I had not been able to see
I saw someone that I'm not sure I want to be
An empty lonely face was starin' back at me
All and all, I would have to say, hey
It's been a rather dismal day, hey
The afternoon was slow in coming
I drove myself outside the place the people that I knew would be there, there
And though they walked along pretending not to care
I knew behind my back they'd point and laugh and stare
All and all, I would have to say, hey
It's been a rather dismal day, hey
And now the evening shadow's falling
I guess it's best I lay my hopes to rest for no one's calling my name, name
I sit and wait behind a door that's never knocked on
I live in silence like my phone that's never talked on
All and all, I would have to say, hey
It's been a rather dismal day, hey
All and all, I would have to say, hey
It's been a rather dismal day, hey
Hey hey hey hey hey
All and all, I would have to say, hey
It's been a rather dismal day, hey
Should've kept on goin'
But the hurt was showing
When she looked at me that way
I had to stay
I knew I had to get to know her name
The town was weary
She was to marry
Someone planned years ago
Her eyes said no
I knew I had to get to know her name
And when I got her all alone
She told me through the tears
That she didn't really loved him
But he'd waited for so many years
She said she couldn't break his heart
She'd rather live with hers
And though I told her she should leave with me
She just could not believe with me
Should've kept on goin'
Better that than knowin'
That he made her his wife
He took her life
You know I didn't even know her name
I found her diary underneath a tree
And started reading about me
The words she'd written took me by surprise
You'd never read them in her eyes
They said that she had found
The love she'd waited for
Wouldn't you know it?
She wouldn't show it
When she confronted with the writing there
Simply pretended not to care
I passed it off as just in keeping with
Her total disconcerting air
And though she tried to hide
The love that she denied
Wouldn't you know it?
She wouldn't show it
And as I go through my life
I will give to her my wife
All the sweet things, I can find
I found her diary underneath a tree
And started reading about me
The words began to stick and tears to flow
Her meaning now was clear to see
The love she'd waited for
Was someone else not me
Wouldn't you know it?
She wouldn't show it
And as I go through my life
I will wish for her his wife
All the sweet things she can find
Daughter - don't give your love to the first man you see.
Just bide your time so your heart will be free to find the one,
Girl you don't have to run.
Daughter - don't think that love has gone out of style,
Just some folks every once in a while don't understand
How this world was planned.
Now I know you're wondering how
You know when the real thing is comin' your way,
When you live for him and not you
You'll know that it's truly comin' to stay.
Daughter - I know it's hard to make yourself wait,
But when the right man comes it's never too late
So don't you cry ,
We're, we're comin' apart again
We're goin' back, back to the start again.
Don't, don't talk about right or wrong;
We closed our eyes, and our time was gone.
Time, time is life, and life is time.
I'm takin' yours, and you are takin' mine
Don't, don't take it too hard my friend,
Cause I, I take it to heart my friend.
There's, there's something in time again
That heals all of the pain that's been.
Time , time is life and one must choose;
You've taken more out of me than you'll ever hope to use.
Time n' time again, I've told you so.
You've taken more from me,
Everyone's thinking when he comes home
He'll be taking you back from me
But nobody knows just how deep our love goes
And he'll never take you from me
Now I know that you never meant to cheat
And I never meant to steal
But you only forget when there's better yet
And I know that's how we both feel
It's a change of heart
Look out for some rain
When you change your heart
One man's loss is another man's gain
Everyone's saying when he comes home
He'll loosen my hold on you
But they just don't know that you're free to go
And love's my only hold over you
And I knew the night that your tears were falling
What you were going through
You knew it'd be hell but you had to tell him
Now it would be me and you
It's a change of heart
Worked out for the best
When you change your heart
Save yourself and forget all the rest
It's a change of heart
Look out for some rain
When you change your heart
(David Gates)
You could be the answer to my lonely dream
It's my only dream
Dream it every night
It's about a girl who makes the waters still
Takes my troubled mind
And makes it all seem right...
Oh what a change, what a change that would be
I can feel it comin' over me,
Maybe it's strange, strange to say
But I can't remember how
How it used to be.
You could be the answer or another dream
Just another dream
How will I know
I'm afraid to wake up now and face the day
Comes the light of day
She'll have to go or stay...
Oh what a change, what a change that would be
Just to wake and find you still here,
'Cause every time, time before
When I open up my eyes
You always disappear.
We could sit and hope that you'll be seen
We could talk about the world and in between,
And when the morning light was through
Then I could see if it was really you.
Too much sorrow, too much pain
Too many reasons not to go back again
Leaving without her is too much to bear
But when we're together, too much nothing to share
But too much love I’ve never seen
Too much love, I don't know what it means
Not enough caring, too many lies
Sooner or later one too many goodbyes
I got no reason for hanging around
All my possessions start to weighing me down
But too much love I've never known
Too much love, I need some of my own
But too much love I’ve never seen
So as you go to find yourself,
Don't look too hard,
You may pass yourself by,
Reaching too high,
Wanting the other side of life.
And as you go to take your place,
Don't go too fast,
Just pretend there's no end,
Make yourself last
Till the other side of iife.
One day you'll find
Your restless searching at an end,
You'll think the world has changed
But it's just you my friend.
So as you go to please your heart.
Please take your time,
Someone's waiting there too,
Waiting for you
On the other side of life.
She's waiting for you
On the other side of life.
Hey, didn't you believe me when I told you I was leavin'?
Well, wait a little while and soon you will be believin'
I'm tellin' you now like I told you before
That love has got to be somethin' more
Than a past time, this is the last time
This is the last time that I will say goodbye
You say it doesn't mean a thing
Let's see what the future brings
In the past, I've changed my mind, but
This has got to be the last time
Well, didn't you believe it when I said you don't know how to love me?
You, you never understood that you weren't so high above me
I didn't realize 'til a moment ago that time doesn't really go this slow
And it's past time, this is the last time
This is the last time that I will say goodbye
You say it doesn't mean a thing
Let's see what the future brings
In the past, I've changed my mind, but
This has got to be the last time
I said this has got to be the last time
Whatcha gonna do when nights are gettin' colder, baby?
Where ya gonna go, you know you're gettin' older, baby?
Guess you're gonna have to be a little bolder, baby
Whatcha gonna do to satisfy your hunger, baby?
Oh, don't it seem that everyone's a-gettin' younger, baby?
Guess you're gonna have to find yourself another past time
Judgin' from the past, I know it won't be the last time, the last time
This is the last time that I will say goodbye
You say it doesn't mean a thing
Let's see what the future brings
In the past, I've changed my mind, but
This has got to be the last time
If I could make a wish I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat no books to read
Making love with you
Has left me peaceful, warm inside
What more could I ask
There's nothing left to be desired
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe, yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe, yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe, yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
While my life is moving along
I will try to know right from wrong
And if you’ll be there to help make me strong
Well that’s all I need
Cos I have given all that I could
And maybe it’s not always been good, no
But if I know that you’ve understood
Then that’s all I need
There have been times, I know, we’ve had to sacrifice
But you look for pearls or dice and you’ve got to pay the price
But I’d do it over without thinking twice
And I will do the best that I can
If you’ll be there when I make my stand
And that would help me to know who I am
And that’s all I need, mmm that’s all I need
Sometimes the rules below, they take more than their share
But others they do just girl, but the world ain’t always fair
But I’ll be alright knowing you will be there
And I will do the best that I can
If you’ll be there when I make my stand, baby
And that would help me to know who I am
And that’s all I need, I said that’s all I need
(Larry Knetchel, 1972)
Used to be my pleasure
When I'd wake up in the morning
Just to open my eyes and see you
Just to find you were lying there
But mornings now they seem to be an everyday affair
I'm just a picture in the memory of your mind
All I ever wanted
Every dream that I've ever cherished
Was to share in a kind of magic
That only lovers ever share
All you ever offered me
Was the moment then and there
I'm just a picture in your mind
I used to want you, oh how badly did I want you
I could not stand the hunger
I used to stay awake at night and think of nothing but you
And when I would awake to find you lying there beside me
It made me so damn happy
I couldn't satisfy my craziness for you
Now the spell is broken
And my dreams they've all turned to ashes
But I still have a love for living
By loving you I've only just begun
Love is never easy when it's given just by one
I'm just a picture in your mind
I used to want you, oh how badly did I want you
I could not stand the hunger
I used to lie awake at night and think of nothing but you
And when I would awake to find you lying there beside me
It made me so damn happy, babe
I couldn't satisfy my craziness for you
Found a few more answers
And I'm ready for tomorrow
But I still have to stop and wonder
If I've learned anything from what we've done
Love is never easy when it's given just by one
I'm just a picture in your mind
Picture in your mind
André Velloso - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Hey have you ever tried
Really reaching out for the other side?
I may be climbing on rainbows
But baby here goes
Dreams they're for those who sleep
Life is for us to keep
And if you're wondering
What this song is leading to
I want to make it with you
I really think
That we could make it girl
No, you don't know me well
In every little thing only time will tell
If you believe the things that I do
And we'll see it through
Life can be short or long
Love can be right or wrong
And if I chose the one
I'd like to help me through
I'd like to make it with you
I really think
That we could make it girl
Baby you know that dreams
They're for those who sleep
Life it's for us to keep
And if I chose the one
I'd like to help me through
I'd like to make it with you
I really think
That we could make it girl
Lost and all alone
I always thought that I could make it on my own
Since you left I hardly make it through the day
My tears get in the way
And I need you back to stay
I wander through the night
And search the world to find
The words to make it right
All I want is just the way it used to be
With you here close to me, I've got to make you see
That I'm lost without your love
Life without you isn't worth the trouble of
I'm as helpless as a ship without a wheel
A touch without a feel
I can't believe it's real
And someday soon I'll wake
And find my heart won't have to break
Yes I'm lost without your love
Life without you isn't worth the trouble of
All I want is just the way it used to be
I need you here with me
Oh darlin' can't you see
If we had love before
Uhhhh...!
...Bred - Bread!
Growing like a never ending tumour
Growing like a skin of mould
Feeding off the remains of old
Growing!
Uhhhh...!
...Bred - Bread!
Growing like a never ending tumour
Growing like a skin of mould
Feeding off the remains of old
Growing!
Uhhhaaaaag!
c 1976 Kiss Inc.R
Uhhhh...
'Coz you are the bread
And it's never work
And warm, buttered is good
Oh, let's just digest
And the dishes are fine
They're not goin' nowhere
So keep your hands soft
For high fives and shakes
And the bathroom's a mess
Tomorrow we'll clean
And my window won't shut
But the breeze does feel nice
And the stove can be years
To light cigarettes
Oh, let the tablecloth burn
It's pretty that way
'Coz you smell like bread
And now the pillow does too
'Coz everyone left
Her name was Flora Spread and she lived on Hovis Hill
Overlooking baker town from the window of her flour mill
The bright lights of the city fueled her longing to create
With the innovative bakers with whom she knew she could relate
She saw the cakes they cooked and the muffins that they made
But she kept beating her bread all the while, feeling betrayed
That her mother left her in this mess of yeast, flour and dough
She must taste inspiration and stop chewing the bread of woe
Down in baker town lived Victoria Sponge
But her cakes weren't selling
So she knew that it was time to take a plunge
Into the new, and see things from a brand new view
And yes young miss Flora I am talking to you
Will you come down that hill of yours and work here in my shop
You might have to bake until the ovens pop
But I need your creative eye
With my wisdom and your innovation
Together we can bake the perfect success pie
Bread
Bread
After just one week in that shop, Flora's business was booming
Her creativity blooming and her customers consuming
But looming, on the horizon, lay a rising problem
People couldn't stop eating, and there was nothing that could stop them
What was once a people of pretty balanced diets
Baker town without it's bread was revolution without riots
Flora closed her shop down, but she knew it was too late
And soon enough the population of the town was overweight
Bread
Bread
And so, the very next day
Flora went back to her mill and opened up her bread shop
But it seemed, to flora's dismay that no one wanted her bread
And she was left alone up the hill top
Victoria sponge kept on baking
With recipes she stole from floras notes
And Flora's heart kept on breaking
I rationalize my shaking feet and legs as a constant
rhythm flowing through my body, but that doesn't explain
my tight neck or oily pores on my back. My spine is
clearly pleading for release. No, it's definitely not
just a song. It's a beat and it's racing past your pad,
through your pad, at light speed, rendering everything in
its path obsolete. So cut the cord that strangles your
head, and feed me bread. Let me legs shake me to sleep
