I could wait for a long time
Pretend there's hope for this heart of mine
Believe someday I could hear you say
You send me, never go away
But I find myself all alone at night
I got no one, not a soul in sight
See those clouds come a closing in
Now the rain come down here I go
Here I go again, coming 'round the bend
And I'm begging you please
You gotta wait for me
I got it bad for you
I know you feel it too
We oughta see it through
'Cause I got it bad, got it bad for you
Got it bad for you
Another day world turn around
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Funny I'm okay as long as I
Keep keeping you on my mind
Then I see your face and I lose control
I lose myself but I can't let go
Another day I can't bear to face
Lonely man in a lonely place
Time's going to waste
Let's give it a try
On this you can rely
See your face and I lose control
I lose myself and I can't let go
See the clouds come closing in
The rain come down
Boy we get so excited pointing fingers each day
Don't take the time to, even blame me
No, we'll give it away
The expectations that we're painting
They go from paisley to white
I see right through them, stand up to them
Oh and I'm up for the fight
Chorus 1:
And with these eyes, I never see right
Ooh, When I look in the mirror
I'm lost in golden red and blue
I'm losing ground standing up to you
And, I Understand more than I want to
And, I stand more than I choose
And under these eyes I'm busted
But I'm Understanding you
It's the Understanding, that kills me
So I return into my head
and I begin to see
This image is not the place for me
Is it someplace for you?
'Cause the destination is never changing
When I guess, a change could do
When I try to move I fall, try to hold you and I lose it all
Don't runaway
Midnight hideaway
Don't you fade away
'Til the Morning light
I see you from my window
In the shadows of the night
You're standing on Love Street
On the beat, of better things
Yeah, I'll see you standin' there
You don't care, anymore
And love in your life
Stabbin' knife in my heart
I see you from my window
In the shadows of the night
You're standing on Love Street
On the beat, of better things
Yeah, I see you from my window
In the shadows of the night
You're standing on Love Street
On the beat, of better things
I'll see you standin' there
You don't care anymore
And love in your life
Stabbin' knife in my heart
I see you from my window
In the shadows of the night
You're standing on Love Street
On the beat, of better things
I see you from my window
In the shadows of the night
You're standing on Love Street
On the beat, of better things
She might fade away, she might fade away
She might fade away, she might fade away
She might fade away, she might fade away
There's a road up ahead and it's a long one
It's ridden on the restless and young
With a want and desire we'll move
You know there ain't nothing else that you can do, oh yeah yeah
Ain't this what dreams are made of, um um in the night
Ain't this what dreams are made of, oh yeah yeah
Ain't this what dreams are made of, um um in the night
Ain't this what dreams are made of
Sometimes we move with no choice
To the call of wild crazy voices
And you start to feel like a restless gone free
Well as years go by now you finally see, oh yea yea
Ain't this what dreams are made of, um um in the night
Ain't this what dreams are made of, oh yeah yeah
Ain't this what dreams are made of, um um in the night
Ain't this what dreams are made of
Hay!
Um um, the young leave their problems behind
It seems many got nothing but time, time
Yeah not many pray, and don't do what's right
They just run for the love in the night, oh yea yea
Ain't this what dreams are made of, um um in the night
Ain't this what dreams are made of, oh yeah yeah
Ain't this what dreams are made of, um um in the night
Ain't this what dreams are made of
Everybody wants to live, like they wanna live and
Everybody wants to love, like they wanna love and
Everybody wants to be
Closer to Free
Everybody wants respect
Just a little bit
And everybody needs a chance once in awhile
Everybody wants to be
Closer to Free
Everybody one, everybody two, everybody FREE
Everybody needs to touch, you know, now and then
And everybody wants a good, good friend
Everybody wants to be
Closer to Free
I said everybody one, everybody two, everybody FREE
Everybody wants to live
Like they wanna live and
Everybody wants to love like they wanna love and
Everybody wants to be
Closer to Free
Yeah, Closer to Free
Yeah, Closer to Free
Since history the pages turn
We watched as all the fired burned
A little hate in each of us
Whoever said, "In God we trust"
Black, white, and blood red
Black, white, and blood red
Down beaten paths through broken homes
Where every man must stand alone
To win his bread to feed the flame
"I have a dream" has gone insane
Liberty, the right to die
When did we ever cross that line
That brought us here to this place
Hey there was something wild, about that girl
You know I felt it when we touched
We didn't say a word, I didn't know her name
But still it meant so much
I knew it wasn't love, it didn't have to be
She was there and I was there, that's all
Lonely is the night and when we broke a heart
You know it's beatin' every day
And when I think of her, I have to smile
She helped to ease the pain
I knew it wasn't love, it didn't have to be
She was there and I was there, that's all
And she took me far, far into the night
She didn't let go 'til the morning light
We didn't say a word, I didn't know her name
But that didn't cause to leave
And when I think of her, I have to smile
Because she helped to ease the pain, ooh, yea
And I knew it wasn't love but it didn't have to be
Because she was there and I was there, that's all
There's a man on the corner today
With a whole lot of nothing to say
He claims to be an ex-prophet see
He got something that's good for me
Said he'd seen people like you before
Don't want to worry about the world no more
Telling yourself everything's okay
When you know that ain't so
Holding heart's afire
Lost in your desire
Hoping to find your dream somehow
Any given day now
Any given day now
Yeah for one little price I could bring to you
Any little thing that you want me to
You take what you want, leave all the rest
I got love, money or happiness
And for one dollar you could see angels call
For two dollar you could see your enemies fall
For three dollar you could be king for a day
Sadie's just a girl from the other side of town, hmm
She's got the power to pull me down, hmm
And I know, she's the one
Yeah, she's the one, she don't love me and
Hey little girl when you need someone
You keep a
Holdin' on
Believe in it someday
Holdin' on
Believe in it someday
Just the other day, I met a Preacher Man and hmm
He Said, "Son don't you know about the promised land"
Oh yeah, I said, "Lord, save my soul
You better send my piece of mind 'cause when I see my baby
She [Incomprehensible] sinnin' all the time
I keep a
Holdin' on
Believe in it someday
Holdin' on
Believe in it someday
Holdin' on
Believe in it someday
Holdin' on
Believe in it someday
Yeah, I believe
I said, "Yeah, yeah, I believe"
Well, I came home late on a summer's night, hmm
My dad is out staring at the city lights, hmm
He said, "Boy, don't you know, there's somethin' to be said for freedom"
He said, "Go, Johnny go, keep runnin' you're the one"
I keep a
Holdin' on
Believe in it someday
Holdin' on
Believe in it someday
Holdin' on
Believe in it someday
Holdin' on
Believe in it someday
Yeah, oh oh, oh oh, oh someday
Yeah, oh oh, oh oh, oh someday
Yeah, oh oh, oh oh, oh someday
Yeah, oh oh, oh oh, oh someday
Three, Four!
Hoot, Hoot, Hoot!
Yeah yeah!
Standin' here,
This night,
I hold,
Warm embraces and pictures,
Like diamonds and gold,
17 weeks, and 5 days, and 3 hours ago,
I lost everything and now I know,
It's a poor fool who stumbles this way,
Just another drink and I end another day,
Cause' I believe I will leave all this darkness and pain,
Like superman, here I go go again!
Chorus:
Singing yeah yeah!
Its a wild world ya know!
People change their lives everyday!
Yeah yeah!
Its a crime girl ya know!
Taking your sweet salvation so far, far away!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Tellin' friends now why you went away,
Out of your head maybe you gone crazy,
Let em' see that I'm somethin' inspite of my pride,
Never show them what I'm keepin' inside,
(repeat chorus)
(Kurt Solo)
(Sammy Says) Breakin' my heart right from the start,
When my love is true what's a poor boy to do yeah? oo oo
(back to kurt)
Rakin' leaves now that fall to the ground,
Wonder what lifes like on your side of town,
'cause I beleive I will see see the day come around,
When I lay this dark darkness down, (down)
Wanna lay this dark darkness down,
(repeat chorus)
Well, I've heard about a love that's like a memory
And I've heard about a love that's like dream
Said, "I've heard about a love that's always fightin'"
It's the strangest kind that you've ever seen
And I've heard about a love that never quits man
Let me tell you 'bout a love runnin' outta steam
And then there's a love that can't stop cryin'
It's the strangest kind that you've ever seen
Well, there's a love flashin' like a lightnin'
And there's a love crawlin' on it's knees
And there's a love so strong that it's frightnin'
Well, that's the kind of love I'm a wantin' to see
You know I've heard about a love that can make you whisper
And I've heard about a love oughta make ya scream
And I've heard about a love, nothin' but hatred
It's the strangest kind that you've ever seen
Well, there's a love flashin' like a lightnin'
And there's a love crawlin' on it's knees
And there's a love so strong that it's frightnin'
Well, that's the kind of love I'm a wantin' to see
You know I've heard about a love like 'Old Delilah'
And I've heard about a love like you and me
And I've heard about a love like my mom and pop have
It's the strangest kind that you've ever seen
Yes, it's the strangest kind that you've ever seen

Ooh, I'm gonna love her
I was lucky for a long, long time
I never felt much pain
A mess of clouds came over me
The night it finally rained
In my hand there's a silver heart
It says you belong to me
But it's empty and used up
I'm sailing off to sea
Going down, going down
Swallow an ocean
Going down, going down
With true devotion
When the rain started coming down
It was so hard to see
Swear I lost you in the crowd
When you were right there with me
People scattering everywhere
Trying to make it back home
And I slipped and fell on my ass
I'm going down alone
All I see is icy blue
And I don't feel the waves
It doesn't matter anyhow
I know I won't be saved
Before you go to sleep tonight
Say a prayer for me, yeah
And all the other wasted souls
You know Mary was a woman fine
She was living with a hard guy
Mary got beat up
One too many times
She's a runaway
She's a runaway
Mary stole some money
And she got herself a gun
Then she shot her man down
Now she's on the run
She's a runaway
She's a runaway
Well, she ain't lookin' back anymore
She said, "Catch me if you can anymore"
You know she didn't wanna do it
But he just pushed her too far
Everybody got a breakin' point
And baby, there you are
She's a runaway
Run, run, runaway
She's a runaway
Run, run, runaway
Well, she ain't lookin' back anymore
She said, "Catch me if you can anymore"
Well, that's the story
Of Mary and the gun
You know, she's a lot tougher now
She's livin' on the run
She's a runaway
She's a runaway
Run, run, runaway
One man used his mighty voice to call
All for one, and baby, one for all
Bullets rang and he lost his life
It was a bloody day here in paradise
Paradise
It ain't hard to find
Lookin' out your window at the world outside
Paradise
It ain't far away
Here in my head it's just another day
Here in paradise
Now, cardboard boxes line these city streets
Playin' home for the hearts full of miseries
I got a room with a view that's nice
Just living on the hard side here in paradise
Yeah
Well, baby I was wrong
I should have said those things
I should have brought you flowers, love and wedding rings
I walk alone and I pay the price
For livin' on the wrong side of paradise
And I'm falling for paradise
Something's telling me that we're not in love anymore
The way that you're kissing me is not quite the way that you kissed me before
Now you keep on telling me it's my imagination
But I think your heart's been taking a vacation
Something's telling me, Something's telling me
Something's telling me that you'll soon be walking out that door
You'll probably say something stupid like
"I gotta go down to the store
And buy myself some cigarettes
Do you want a pack?"
And I wont see you anymore
And that, my friend, is that
Something's telling me, Something's telling's me
Something's coming on to me
Something's telling me all about it
Now you don't really want me
Something's telling me
Something's telling me that there's gotta be more that this
There's gotta be more to the whole damn thing than just a hug and a kiss
Someday I'm going to find it, then I'll really know
But if you're gonna leave, then I think you'd better go
Something's telling me, Something's telling me
Something's telling me, Something's telling me
Something's telling me that we're not in love anymore
Come on everybody, everybody gather 'round
And listen to the music, yeah, listen to the sound
We want you all together, we want you all along
And I'll tell you something good
And I'll tell you something strong
People get ready
Don't believe that you're better off dead
People stand together
'Cause it's a long hard day
And there's strange weather laying up ahead
Don't listen to the gun, Tommy put away the knife
You've gotta give a damn 'bout another man's life
See it clear with your mind, maybe make a change
Why you act so funny, why you act so strange?
Now people get ready
Don't believe that you're better off dead
Sing "People stand together"
'Cause it's a long hard day
And there's strange weather laying up ahead
My love's a brother
And we're holding on
Don't fear another
There's another brazen day
Things kinda move that way
Good lord above, now he don't have to fuss
Not for good hardy people like us
Born with a weary eye
Plain to see, my oh my
These crazy ideas, oh they don't last long
But they come and they go in america
And we're staring at the world from my home little idaho
And we're staring at the world from my home little idaho
There's another fallen man
With hair I don't understand
Its just bout as long as my wife marlene
Don't it all kinda keep you to wondering
Staring at the stars above
Wonder what are we made of
Some folks say that they know right away
So you look on a cloud for a lullaby
And we're staring at the world from my home little idaho
And we're staring at the world from my home little idaho
And i said hey
Everywhere i see, hey
Everywhere i see
There's another busted dream
Staring me right in the face
Good lord knows why we don't give in
Trying to leave, maybe run from this place
Instead of staring at the stars above
Wondering what are we made of
Some folks say that they know right away
So you look on a cloud for a lullaby
And we're staring at the world from my home little idaho
And we're staring at the world from my home little idaho
And i say staring at the world from my home little idaho
Staring at the world from my home little idaho
And i say hey
Everywhere i see, hey
Well, I don't know what you're thinkin'
And I don't really give a damn
Since I found you're the reigning queen
Of the one night stand
I've already packed your suitcase
There's a taxi waiting for you too
Ya know I might be a lot of things
But I ain't your Fool
And I ain't gonna cry
You're just a rotten apple in my eye
I hope I'm givin' back the only thing
You ever gave to me, misery
Well, I remember when we started
You said you'd love me 'til the day that you died
But I guess just like all the rest
It was just a lie
So, don't even try to tell me
That you're really, really, sorry too
'Cause I know that you done me wrong
And here comes the proof
Well, there was Billy on the second floor
And Tommy at the liquor store
When you were givin' those guys a piece
You were giving me nothin' but misery
I said, there was Billy on the second floor
And Tommy at the liquor store
When you were givin' those guys a piece
You were giving me miles and miles of misery
I said, "I don't know what you're thinkin'"
And I don't really give a damn
Since I found out about you, girl
You were just a tramp
Now I've already packed that suitcase
There's a taxi waitin' for you too
Ya know I might be a lot of things
But I ain't your fool
And I ain't gonna cry
You're just a rotten apple in my eye
I hope I'm givin' back the only thing
You ever gave to me, misery
(Misery)
Misery
(Misery)
You ain't in Misery
Well, I never was good at bein' good
I was never very kind
And if I said you're the only one
Well, baby I was lyin'
And I never did take to holdin' you
The way a man should
Ever since you left me, baby
Well, I ain't been very good
I'm in trouble again
I'm in trouble again
Ever since you left me, baby
You should see the shape I'm in
I think about the times you held me up
And kept me on my feet
Haven't really sunk this low
I don't give a damn about me
It's hard to love a losin' man
Much harder than you think
You'll have to tear yourself away
Before you both start to stink
I'm in trouble again
I'm in trouble again
'Cause ever since you left me, baby
You should see the shape I'm in
Many is the time I've lied awake
Shiverin' in the cold black night
Never is the time I tell myself
"Hey, it's gonna be alright"
And I wish I could've took to holdin' you
The way a man should
Ever since you left me, babe
Well, I haven't been very good
I'm in trouble again
I'm in trouble again
'Cause ever since you left me baby
You go on alone
I don't want to stop you
From doing what you want
From doing what you have to do
I don't think it's right
Standing in your way
But I don't want to see
You throw it all away
Can you tell me what to do
Tell me what to say
Now every little dream I dream
Is calling out your name
And I'm running out of tears
Running out of time
I keep you in my heart
And forever on my mind
So I'll be over here
Standing in the window
Standing in a line
Of broken-hearted people
I'm waiting on a word
What it is you say
Make yourself believe
It's gonna be okay
Can you tell me what to do
I'm really just afraid
Now every little dream I dream
Is calling out your name
And I'm running out of tears
Running out of time
I keep you in my heart
And forever on my mind
And forever on my mind
Fool, fool, fool, fool
I said, who's that boy that you been running 'round with
That you been going down with?
Now, now, now just a little too far down, down, out
You know there?s rumors flying around, yeah
Flying to the streets of my town
And make me feel, make me feel like a big clown
They're coming, roll, roll at you, roll about you
Every time, every time I look in your eyes
I forget all about those dirty lies
And I forget all about the pain, I don't feel that
Hey, don't you know
That you drive me insane?
And don't you know
That I'm taking all the blame? Yeah
Yeah, I'm a fool for you, baby
I'm a fool for you, baby, yeah
I'm a fool for you, baby
Fool, fool, fool for you, baby, baby, baby
I said, every time, every time I look in your eyes
I forget all about those dirty lies
And I forget all about the pain, I don't feel that
Because girl, you got
Ooh, I said, you got, you got what I need
And even though I know I'm gonna bleed
I keep coming back for more, yeah, I need some more
Hey, don't you know
That you drive me insane
Yeah, don't you know
That I'm taking all the blame?
Ooh, I'm a fool for you, baby
I'm a fool for you, baby, yeah
I'm a fool for you, baby
I'm a fool for you, baby, yeah
I'm a fool for you, baby
I'm a fool for you, baby, yeah
I'm a fool for you, baby
Fool, fool, fool for you, baby
Well the feelings coming on again
Like a whisper that's knocking down a doorway
And everything it says I just believe
And I fear that I'm nothing and alone
So I pour another drink and take a hit
And I wonder where the smoke goes
And I'm feeling more and more like less and less
And it comes from so far down deep inside
But you can't get to it no matter wht you try
And I'm far, far away from my heart
Far, far away from my heart
It's just a voice that's bent on telling me I'm too good
And there really is a shortcut
And I've been through this so many nights before
That you'd think it would be easier by now
So I let the chemical reaction cloud over
The pain that keeps on hurting
As I slowly, but too slowly drift away
To a place where I know I don't have to think
God I hate myself all over so more I drink
And I'm far, far away from my heart
Far, far away from my heart
And now I'm staring blankly at the TV
Holding this guitar for some comfort
But it's so hard to write a simple song
And try to turn this feeling into melody
So I put it down get on my knees
Close my eyes real tight now I'm praying
To anyone that maybe can hear me
Tell me everything will be ok
And I don't think I can make another day
And I'm far, far away from my heart
Baby, pack your bags
And we'll leave tonight
We'll take the first train out of here
No more binding ties
No more livin' lies
No pain, no sorrow, no fear
'Cause I've seen all that I want to see
Of this worn out everyday
And I thought I knew what we had to do
But now we've been betrayed
And we're fallin' down on the cold hard ground
With the gravity
Laying our dollars down, trading right for wrong
It's not so hard to see
We're takin' on a
Hell of a chance
What have we got to lose?
We're takin' on a
Hell of a chance
What have we got to lose?
What've we got to lose?
Don't say it's too late now our time must allow
For a change in our ways
And any way out of here
And we'll be off in the clear
On to heavenly days
'Cause I've seen all that I want to see
Of this worn out every day
And I thought I knew what we had to do
But now we've been betrayed
And we're fallin' down on the cold hard ground
With the gravity
Laying our dollars down, trading right for wrong
Less the honesty
We're takin' on a
Hell of a chance
What have we got to lose?
We're takin' on a
Hell of a chance
What have we got to lose?
What've we got to lose?
Do you see?
What've we got to lose?
They said good-bye to all their friends
And left their humble homes behind
They'd heard about a chance up north
Amidst the noise and dirt and fire
And on the way they prayed to God
"Have mercy send us down a light"
And when the babies cried they told them close
"Mi hijo (my son) everything is alright"
Going home
On the wings of angels
Going home
On the wings of a snow white dove
Going home
On the wings of angels
Going home
On the wings of love
One walked his way around the town
The other took the name of Rose
They both never had much wealth
But each one knew how a flower grows
And they spoke a language in new ways
And raised their familes true to heart
Their blood runs through my veins so deep
I know they could never tear us apart
Yeah, they broke their backs just trying to stake a place
That they could call their own
And as we lay them down to sleep
Well, I'm going down the street
Going to see Sadie
To let her know she's my baby
And I'm tired of the games she's been playin' on me
Well, I maybe young
And foolish inside
But, I'm the one and I've got my pride
And here tonight love's gonna be alright
Well, come on little baby
Come on out and see
There's the whole wide world
Waiting on you and me to Hell, you'll see

You said "I got a chance, reaching your hands"
And I ain't the one
Gonna end up your man
But, there's one thing that you gotta understand
That my love is real, baby, my love's true
Maybe it don't mean that much to you
But here tonight
Our love is gonna see us through
Well, come on little baby

Sunlight fall down on the fields

But, oh, I can feel your heart is beating near. Yeah-heh

If I can hold you tonight, I might never let go
If I can hold you tonight, I might never let go
If I can hold you tonight, I might never, no never let go
If I can hold you tonight, I might never let go
If I can hold you tonight, I might never let go
If I can hold you tonight, I might never, no never let go
I like the way you dance, I like the way you paint your lips
And if I had a chance to be with you, I wouldn't slip
So hey what do you say, just see a thing or two in me
Then let's be on our way, we don't need no other company
If I can hold you tonight, I might never let go
If I can hold you tonight, I might never let go
If I can hold you tonight, I might never, no never let go
We won't need no wine and we won't need no other stuff
'Cause we'll be doing fine from being close and tastin' love
And when the night set ends, we'll close the curtains way up tight
And then we'll just pretend that it isn't day but still the night
If I can hold you tonight, I might never let go
If I can hold you tonight, I might never let go
If I can hold you tonight, I might never, no never, let go
There's a fire burnin' deep down in your eyes
It's got me almost hypnotized
I like the way you dance, I like the way you paint your lips
And if I had a chance to be with you, I wouldn't slip
And when the night set ends, we'll close the curtains way up tight
And then we'll just pretend that it isn't day but still the night
If I can hold you tonight, I might never let go
If I can hold you tonight, I might never let go
If I can hold you tonight, I might never, no never let go
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Where to run baby, where to hide?
Caught in the rain on the losin' side
All you wanted was some kind of friend
All you got was some heartache instead
Whoa, whoo, my little angel
Pick up the pieces, baby, start it again
Whoa, whoo, my little angel
Pick up the pieces, baby, start it again
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Well, it's true, baby, what they say
Fools are fallin', fade away, yea
Losin' love in a passing wind and
Don't know why it's so hard to win
Whoa, whoo, my little angel
Pick up the pieces baby, start it again
Whoa, whoo, my little angel
Pick up the pieces baby, start it again
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Love's slippin' away
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Love's slippin' away
Where to run baby, where to hide?
Caught in the rain on the losin' side
All you wanted was some kind of friend
All you got was some heartache instead
Whoa, whoo, my little angel
Pick up the pieces baby, start it again and
Whoa, whoo, my little angel
Pick up the pieces baby, start it again
Whoa, whoo, my little angel
Pick up the pieces baby, start it again and
Whoa, whoo, my little angel
Pick up the pieces baby, start it again
Baby, ask me anything that you want
And I'll look you in the eye now
There can be no surprises
If we mean what we say
I've been around the block
And I've done some things
That I ain't so very proud of
Darlin' help me leave this cloud of
Rolling lonely behind
Naked
I'll stand naked
If you stand naked with me
I'll stand naked with you
In the morning when I look in the mirror
I look twice at what I'm seeing
If those eyes are really me then
Lord, have mercy on my soul
I'm walking forward but I'm walking alone
And I need some understanding
Here, we all need some understanding
And I want you to know
My hands are shaking as I reach for the touch
And all I want to do is hold you
And I want to lose control
You are so easy to crave
The time has come for us to lay it all down
There can be no more denying
If I can't have you I'm dying
A little more every day
Naked
(Take me out from the shadow)
I'll stand naked
(Lead me down to the waters)
If you'll stand naked with me
(Drown my soul in a sea of love)
I'll stand naked with you
(Don't leave me haunted, 'cause)
Naked
(I believe in the searching)
I'll stand naked
(And I'll find my way through the darkness)
If you'll stand naked with me
(There are doors ahead if we see clear)
I'll stand naked with you
Boy I've seen some better days
and my Old Man would always say to me
In your lifetime, I pray you never feel
This broken I got in me
And all those wishing stars
Hang out, where you are
Won't save me
Chorus:
And anyone can be Hurt By Love
Anyone can see their heart strings come undone
You take the strong ones or weak ones just the same
When it comes down to love, sometimes it comes down to pain
And boy this crazy World of fear
Well, it just ain't worth the price of wasted years
Glimpse that golden dream and let it, fade-away
No, I can't pretend today
And I stumble in and out
This confidence and doubt
Now all I really know
Is anyone can be......
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(REPEAT LAST VERSE)
Hey Pretty Girl!
Hey Pretty Girl, I'm not above it
Hey Pretty Girl, been thinkin' of it
Hey Pretty Girl, Hey Pretty Girl-irl
Hey Pretty Girl, I wanna know you
Hey Pretty Girl, I wanna show you
Hey Pretty Girl, Hey Pretty Girl
Well, I know how much it hurts inside to feel alone
And I've been so long, without a home
The Only thing that I, I...
Hey Pretty Girl, I wanna touch
Hey Pretty Girl, so very much
Hey Pretty Girl, Hey Pretty Girl-irl
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Well, I know how much it hurts inside to feel alone
And I've been so long, without a home
The Only thing that I, I...
Hey Pretty Girl, I wanna kiss
Hey Pretty Girl, don't wanna miss
Hey Pretty Girl, Hey Pretty Girl-irl
Yeahhhhh!!!!
Hey Pretty Girl, I'm not above it
Hey Pretty Girl, been thinkin' of it
Hey Pretty Girl, Hey Pretty Girl-irl
Hey Pretty Girl
Hey Pretty Girl
She'll do the dishes and wipe off the table
Make a fresh pot of coffee
Mabye light up a cigarette, yea
Go and sit on the front porch
Watch the sun going down, down
Holding hands with her new born baby
Lookee here what I've found
Welcome to, The Heart of a Miracle
Welcome to, The Heart of a Miracle
In any bar, any place
Where working men meet
"Hey boys, this rounds on me"
"Man that jukebox sounds so sweet"
"I've got some change, let's shoot some stick"
"Straight in, no slop" no
"Man this beer is going down so nice"
"Rack 'em up, i'm feeling hot"
Welcome to, The Heart of a Miralce
yeah, yea Welcome to, The Heart of a Miracle
You're traveling down a lonely road
With all you got on your back
You're feeling tired and hungry too
And the sky is turning black
September Wind is kicking in
Trying to put out the fire
Just then a trucker stops and ask ya
"Hey Man, do you want a ride"
Welcome to, The Heart of a Miracle
yeah, Welcome to, The Heart of a Miracle
yeah, yea, Welcome to, The Heart of a Miracle
Ooh, yeah, Welcome to, The Heart of a Miracle
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
Ride 'em down, Ride 'em down, ride 'em down, down, down,
Ooh yeah, yea
Outside loves in two, holding on tight
like people do. Inside love is a flame.
Words don't work when we try to
explain, and it all falls down. Fool baby,
I'm your clown. When it all falls down,
I'll be there. 'Cause time keeps tricklin'
away. We'll be together now, someday.
Holdin' on for heaven's sake. Don't
worry 'bout the time or the love we'll
make, when it all falls down. Walls been
closin' in, and I carry your heart of tin.
When tears that fall like rain, well,
here we go baby, here we go again.
Voodoo... I'll be there when you call on me.
Well, the night's comin' on like a soulful
song, a tuned-down melody. Broken hearts,
corner bar, wonderin' where you are.
Soakin' dreams and old memories.
Well, you begged me to stay. Still, I ran
away. Too young, too foolish to see, there
ain't very much more than a touch of
the love that you gave to me. So, you
bring on the night. Baby I'll be all right.
I promise not to feel no pain. No I won't
say a word of the lessons learned from
Beaujolais in the September rain. I'm
lost thinking of our one night of love.
Beaujolais in the September rain. Now,
the years go by with the blink of an eye.
Memories, they stay the same. And I
think about you the whole night through.
Good night, my sweet little one
Go to sleep now your day is done
Dream about how good it's been
And tomorrow let's do it again
I'll stay up and watch you sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die, before you wake
I got it all planned
I know exactly what to do
I counted the pills six times
There's seventy-two
They look so pretty
They look so nice
Gonna take a ride
To the other side
I guess that I should sit down
And write a little note
To tell everybody
That I didn't give up hope
I'm just really anxious
To get on with my life
Gonna take a ride
To the other side
I don't think death
Is an end to all things
We can only hope
For the peace that it may bring
And some folks will say
That I didn't have the right
Gonna take a ride
Rickshaw riding, oh, with you
Rickshaw riding, oh, with you
Lookin' at the world
See it all rumblin' down
People in the street
They're runnin' all around
I wonder but who can say?
I just want to be
Holding you close, near me, touch me
Tokyo Rose, she's right above me
We'll see the rising sun
Will you be my mama-san?
Rickshaw riding, oh, with you
Rickshaw riding, oh, with you
I'm takin' what I need
And I'm giving what I can
How much more can you ask of a man?
Take my hand and come with me
I just wanna be
Holdin' you close, near me, touch me
Tokyo Rose, right above me
We'll see the risin' sun
Will you be my mama-san?
Rickshaw riding, oh, with you
Rickshaw riding, oh, with you
Rickshaw riding, oh, with you
Yeah there you go in your hard way
Now you're bending fundamental rules of reality
Can you calm down just for a while
Are you brave enough just staying on safe ground
All I say, do what you want to do
No, don't you lock away your serious heart
Or you would tear my insider ways apart
Well it's foolish misery and foolish pride
That can keep that little light locked up deep inside
All I say, do what you want to do
And I wanna be as close as I can
Wanna hold that burning flame
Won't you let it contain my whole hand
It was the dead of night in late July.
Thunder crack made the angels cry.
Waters came and washed away all my
fears, they had the final say. So, I took
my love to the water's edge. Took my
love to the final pledge She said "Sorry
son, I've had enough. This livin' on a
prayer is just livin' bad luck."
And "bye-bye"...And the Red River took my love
far away from me. Sweet Angeline
turned and walked away into the night,
into the water's way. She got caught up
in that river's flow. It took her down-
down and it never let go. You talk about
love like its a lastin' thing. Gold
promises, in a wedding ring, we swore
love, in a lastin' vow, but that just don't
I found a love, sweet and young
Out in the big open
Deep in the land of stars that shine
Bright like the heart she wore
I spent a lifetime on that road
She spent a life in town
And I said c'mon, she said right
Let's head for higher ground
Let's go shall we
On through the majesty
Let's go, you'd never know
But this was made for you and me, shall we
We hit the road, the big highway
With a heart full of soul and fire
making our way through America
In a ford on a two-cent tire
Let's go shall we
On through the majesty
Let's go, you'd never know
But this was made for you and me
We laid down under stars
Under the dead of night
There in a field of wildflowers
Baby we finally made things right
Where no bands of gold or
Diamond rings or wished of well could hold
More than our hearts of good intentions
More than our promise told
Let's go shall we
On through the majesty
Let's go, you'd never know it
An old friend, he called me on Christmas
To see how I was
I told him I wasn't complaining much
I said, "Come over and see me
We'll talk for a while"
He said, "Good, I hate phones
I'm only a mile away"
It's been a cold winter's day
It's been a long black night
He said that his life wasn't going
Quite like he had planned
He didn't know it would be so hard to...
Just trying to raise up a family
A car and new shoes
Sometimes I feel like I'm going to lose it all
I poured us more bourbon and water
And toasted the Clash
Then we started to laugh
Well, I've been walking down the streets and the avenues
With the singing birds in the trees and my skies are blue
Won't you walk with me, baby?
Won't you say you will, maybe?
I've been drivin' by your house, callin' you on the phone
But your pretty momma says that you ain't been home
Won't you walk with me, baby?
Won't you say you will, maybe?
And out in the street when you pass me by
Oh, and my heart starts beating and I wanna die
Won't you walk with me, baby?
Won't you say you will, maybe?
You just say, "Hey, ho baby, don't you know?
Well, I got to head to town, I'll see you later, Joe"
Won't you walk with me, baby?
Won't you say you will, maybe?
'Coz, out in the street when you pass me by
Oh and my heart starts beating and I wanna die
Hey, won't you walk with me, baby?
Won't you say you will, maybe? Yeah
You know sometimes I wonder why I waste my time
Just trying to be your lover when you won't be mine
Won't you walk with me, baby?
Won't you say you will, maybe?
'Coz, out in the street when you pass me by
Oh baby, you never see all the tears I cry
Hey, won't you walk with me, baby?
Won't you say you will, maybe?
Now won't you walk with me, baby?
Meet, some girls every once in a while
But it's always the same
Start out walkin' on a sunny day,
And you end up caught in the rain
Well i'm lookin for somethin' that i ain't known,
Lookin for somethin that's rollin' home
What it feels like,
Wanna know, what it feels like,
Yea, yea, what it feels like
To be in love, really be in love
This and that and the other thing,
Don't mean nothin to me
Just for once, for once in my life
I wanna be able to see
Holdin' your hand,
Lookin' in your eye,
I don't know the reason why
What it feels like,
Wanna know, what it feels like,
Yea, yea, what it feels like
To be in love, really be in love
And i don't wanna say, that it's now
Or it's never, but i've waited so long,
For someone who will be more than a lover, yea, yea
(guitar solo)
Oh yea,
What it feels like,
Wanna know, what it feels like,
Yea, yea, what it feels like
To be in love, oh yea
What it feels like, to be in love
There's two boys holdin' stars for the wishin'
Yeah one boy's sure one says "I don't know"
But sometimes I feel we been missin'
Love I try, and away they go
And in this ol' town the wind starts blowin
And the radio sings blues for free
We got the bottle down for soakin' dreams (yeah!)
"Tears of a clown" well, hey, that's me
And hearts that fall in two pretend they don't show
Holding back the rain, baby, let it go
You don't get much without giving
You don't get much without giving
Hey! Hey! Yeah! Hey! Hey! Yeah!
Hey! Hey! Yeah! Hey! Hey! Yeah!
Oh, she left one shoe behind in the back hallway
She left one memory the strangest kind
I guess naive love songs are savin' grace
When losers win in this losin' race
And hearts that fall in two pretend they don't show
Holding back the rain, baby, let it go
You don't get much without giving
You don't get much without giving
Hey! Hey! Yeah! Hey! Hey! Yeah!
Hey! Hey! Yeah! Hey! Hey! Yeah!
Oh... You don't get much You don't get much
You don't get much You don't get much
I believe in the goodness
Though broken down and beaten
And I believe in the chances
And when they came, they were taken
Now all that wasted energy
We never really felt that way
Now I'm older I see
There's no escape in the empty
We belong in a world away from here
Words aren't spoken, just the quiet
Of red roses
So close your eyes now and go to sleep
Don't be afraid of the darkness
Anyone can see you're still full of hope and open spaces
And we belong in a world away from here
Where words aren't spoken
Just the quiet
Of red roses
Where the world wont come in
And where time don't begin
And twords aren't spoken
Just the quiet
Of red roses
I see you walking and I hear you talking
And when you're dancing, you leave all the boys behind
Hey, what's you're secret? I gotta know
Won't you tell me how you always steal the show?
Ultimately fine
That girl is ultimately fine
When it come to making boys go crazy
The girl is ultimately fine
High heels and lipstick, dresses so tight
She's got you turning left when you wanted to turn right
And with those long legs, she'll walk over you
Stay away, boys, if you can or ain't y'heard the news
Ultimately fine
That girl is ultimately fine
When it come to making boys go crazy
The girl is ultimately fine
She ain't built for comfort, she's built for speed
She'll turn your head around and bring you to your knees
Don't try to pass her, don't try to run
She'll chew and spit you out, and oh it's just for fun
Ultimately fine
That girl is ultimately fine
When it come to making boys go crazy
The girl is ultimately fine
Ultimately fine
That girl is ultimately fine
Been a million years I'm going by
And I've been going down
And the same old fears of being alone
And keep on coming around
So I'll take my time, keep it to myself
Everything gonna be all right
Ain't giving up, I've found your love
'Cause in the lonely nights I see baby
Runaway love, runaway love so good
Runaway love, runaway love so good
Living day by day without a sign
Without a saving soul
But you came my way right on time
Baby, yeah, I know
Gonna take my time, keep it to myself
Everything gonna be all right
Ain't giving up, I found your love
'Cause in the lonely nights I see baby
Runaway love, runaway love so good, ohh baby

Well, you let it go baby and that's all right
Things don't come overnight

Anywhere in this old town
You feel like runnin'
When you really need someone
Keep those dreams forever young
Ooh baby, the wild ones
Yeah baby, hold on tight and
Tonight we'll stay forever young
Were the wild ones
So you stick around me waitin' to see
It ain't like it's supposed to be
Yeah, well baby I know that
It's the same wherever you go
You feel like runnin'
When you really need someone
Keep those dreams forever young
Ooh baby, the wild ones
Yeah baby, hold on tight and
Tonight we'll stay forever young

Ooh baby, the wild ones
Yeah baby, hold on tight and
Tonight we'll stay forever young

Were the wild ones
Were the wild ones
Oooh, yea
Well I've heard about a love that's like a memory
and I've heard about a love that's like dream
said, "I've heard about a love that's always fightin' "
It's the Strangest Kind that you've ever seen
And I've heard about a love that never quits man
let me tell you 'bout a love runnin' outta steam
and then there's a love that can't stop cryin'
It's the Strangest Kind that you've ever seen
Well there's a love flashin like a lightnin'
and there's a love crawlin' on it's knees
and there's a love so strong that it's frightnin'
well that's the kind of love I'm a wantin' to see
You know I've heard about a love that can make you whisper
and I've heard about a love oughta make ya scream (SCREAM!)
and I've heard about a love nothin' but hatered
It's the Strangest Kind that you've ever seen
Well there's a love flashin like a lightnin'
and there's a love crawlin on it's knees
and there's a love so strong that it's frightnin'
well that's the kind of love I'm a wantin' to see
Wooo!
(GUITAR SOLO)
You know I've heard about a love like "Old Delilah"
and I've heard about a love like you and me
and I've heard about a love like my Mom and Pop have
It's the Strangest Kind that you've ever seen
Yes it's, The Strangest Kind that you've ever seen
I know it's, The Strangest Kind that you've ever seen, yea
You keep on building walls
All around me
Ball and chain and blindfold
So I don't see
Take me far away
Leave me out cold
But the people see the truth
Let justice unfold
So if you just hold my hand
A little bit longer, understand
The feeling gets stronger
Yes, I do
Yes, I can
You can write your words down
Full of despair
You can celebrate your lies
And see if we care
'Cause people know the truth
They feel in their hearts
All the good things that we like
We knew from the start
I can't let my world get colder
I'd be a better man
I can see for miles around
Hope you understand
I believe in love
I believe in free will
I believe that people believe in it still
Though sometimes we don't always see it so clear
Yes, she loves me
Yes, indeed
Yes, she loves me
On my knees
First she comes, then we go
We go slow
Yeah, we go slow down
She once whispered in my ear
"Let's not wait, let's do it here."
First she comes, then we go
We go slow
Yeah, we go slow down
She's on top, she's riding hard
Man we're flying to the stars
Here we go again
We go slow
(I) wanna lay with you wet and naked bodies.
And I wanna fell your skin on mine.
And with the warmth inside eventually we shiver.
'Til we sleep we sleep so satisfied.
CHORUS
Lay down, lay down, lay down down and feed.
Lay down, lay down, lay down down and feed.
Lay down, lay down, lay down down and feed the fire.
I see your mouth as a perfect weapon.
A perfect comfort in a perfect voice.
And I see your lips as where I lay my head at night.
And you swallow all unwanted noise
CHORUS 2X
Everything around this place
Is comin' to a halt
Nobody's pickin' nothin'
It isn't anybody's fault
There's nothin' to do but sit around
Hurry up and wait
Holy Mary shed a tear for us
The hour is gettin' late
I wanna see it rain
I wanna see it rain
I wanna see it rain, rain, rain
A beautiful rain
Life is drainin' from the fields
Hope is runnin' dry
A million dollars cannot buy one drop
The clouds I see are only a lie
The pickers can't afford the fare back home
And they can't afford to stay yeah
The president sent a man up here
But there wasn't nothin' that he could say
I wanna see it rain
I wanna see it rain
I wanna see it rain, rain, rain
The beautiful rain
I wanna ses it rain, rain, rain
A beautiful rain
Forty days and forty nights
Then there's forty more
It's takin' a toll on everyone
The mood is set for some kinda war
Is it something that we do
Tell me is it something that we said
I'm wonderin' what the hell is wrong
I'm gettin' a little bit afraid
I wanna see it rain
I wanna see it rain
I wanna ses it rain, rain, rain
A beautiful rain
I wanna see it rain
I wanna see it rain
I wanna ses it rain, rain, rain
A beautiful rain
I wanna see it rain, rain, rain
A beautiful rain
I wanna see it rain, rain, rain
A beautiful rain
I wanna see a beautiful rain
I wanna see a beautiful rain
I wanna see a beautiful rain
I wanna see a beautiful rain
Well I ain't very pretty but I ain't hard to touch
I ain't got money, but I don't need much
I ain't good at nothin' but a song and dance
Yeah I ain't the kind a guy to want a second chance
So you can come come baby, that's okay
And you can surely bank on every word I say
Yeah you can count count honey, count on me
Well I ain't very conversational
But when it comes to crazy, that I know
I ain't gonna sell you some stupid line
I'll just sock it to ya honey 'til you're over mine
And did ya know we're bombing our own kind
Did ya know we're running 'til the end of time
And in a world gone crazy You can count on me
Well the one little point that I want to make
Is when a good thing comes don't you hesitate
When two hearts feel they could be as one
When we're not together I know I know this much is true
But please try and understand I've got some things I wanna do
It's not easy no no it can be so hard
But we can't quit now we can't quit now
Because we've come so far
And I know when the night comes down
Baby it come so hard and so mean
And I know what you feel inside girl you
Say you're lost and in between
Don't be lonely don't be blue
Don't be lonely lonely lonely lonely
Because I'm thinking about you
So just remember when it was me and you
How we laughed how we cried
How we loved our love rang so true
Yes it did
Our time has come now baby
We'll be together again I know
You'll be the queen of all women
I'll be the king of all men
Sylvia, turn me loose
You gotta gotta turn me loose
You treat me so bad
You're the meanest pet I've ever had
You're spendin' all my money
Drivin' my new car
Scratchin' all my records
Playin' my guitar
I don't know how I got myself into this mess
Well I lost my job down at the factory
Lost my money in the lottery
Met a little girl walkin' down the street, I said
Ain't there any way to how to beat the heat
She said hey now little baby, love is all you need
I said workin' on love sounds good to me
Chorus
It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it,
Baby just let it work
Well, I'm playin' six string down at the corner bar
Be-bop-a-lula on a berry guitar
There was a big fat daddy in a cadillac
Sweet little angel ridin' in the back
Hey now mister nothin's gonna come for free
I said Playin' six string sounds good to me
Chorus
Sweet little Mary was just thirteen
Walkin' down the street she'd make a good man mean
Take a truthin' man and she could make him a liar
She could take the coolest cat and set his soul on fire
Hey there pretty babby got me down on my knees
Ya got me workin' every night babe' tryin' to please
Brothers to the left
Brothers to the right
No one left in between
And if you look too far ahead
Or look too far behind
The heart it goes sight unseen
He'd like to but he can't
She looks the other way
Who that leave fo face the heat?
The hameless need a home
Crippled need a hand
Hungry need something to eat
If we
Can learn to live again
Every woman, every man
We can become hand in hand
Yes we can
Well, I'm lucky for ny job
Ilove to live my life
I thank the Lord for my health
And I'm not pointing fingers
Not at anyone
See you walking down the street now every day
Pushing by the people as you make your way
You're walking proud now, baby
You got your head held high
Want you to know that this whole world
Sees your heart cry
Ooh, yeah, now see, how hard you try
To make yourself believe
It's only love
It's only love
It's only love
It's only love
Maybe love shouldn't have to be so hard to take
Shouldn't have to feel that love
Until your poor heart breaks
So why you tell yourself
You know there's no one else
Then it ain't worth the waiting anymore
Oh, baby, don't you wonder if there's such a thing
It's only love
It's only love
It's only love
It's only love
Oh you better look in there
Believe it, even if it's to hard to
Yeah, someone who's been waiting
Oh, baby, just for you and love
It's only love
If I could, I'd take you, baby, in my arms
Take away all love's blame
And all loves scars
Maybe we could ride away
Til we get so far away
And then I couldn't see us coming back again
Well show me what you think of it
Show me what you need
It's only love
It's only love
It's only love
It's only love
It's only love
It's only love
It's only love
As I write, I watch the night go down
And I see the lonely, twinkling lights of town
And I think about a girl
She's out there in the world
She's looking for, she's looking for me somewhere
I heard her sing once at the rodeo
She wore a rhinestone suit of white and gold
And as she sang and played
She stole my heart away
She's looking for, she's looking for me somewhere
She's looking for me somewhere, I know
She's looking for me high and looking low
Oh, to live and die, it seems
Is a waste without a dream
She's looking for, she's looking for me somewhere
She's looking for me somewhere, I know
She's looking for me high and looking low
Oh, to live and die, it seems
Is a waste without a dream
She's looking for, she's looking for me somewhere
And as the morning sun begins to rise
Alone, I go to bed and I close my eyes
And I Dream about a girl
Out there in the world
She's looking for, she's looking for me somewhere
Do I, do I
Do I, do I
Do I, do I love you?
I do, I do
I do, I do
I do, I do, I love you
Angels falling in the streets tonight
Selling love in colors black and white
Reachin' out for the final touch, but
Sometimes, baby, well it's much too much
There you go again, you're riding ponies
You're takin' lovers for your one and only
But, sometime baby, you'll finally see
Ain't nobody for you like me
Well she kissed me softly, said "Now don't be shy
Just do what I said and don't you ask me why"
She kissed me
Once on the right side and
Once on the left now
Kids on the street feel the thunder beat burnin' to the night.
Tellin' lies with angels' eyes, pullin' switchblade knives...
Taken lovers walk away. Roll their eyes, some people say we're
worlds away. Johnny runs loaded tommy guns. Sheri holds on tight.
Romeos and street-heroes, the promises they hide. Tommy's messed up.
That's okay. Dreamers dream their lives away. We're worlds away.
Days we fight lonely nights with dreams and red, red, wine. Against
the angels, devils cry, playin' out their time. And I know what
Well, the fire city call to the hot
summer night in the distant sirens'
scream. Kids on the street don't think
about nothin', just livin' out some crazy
dream. On the front porch, Cherry
snaps her lipstick shut to the pull of the
radio steel. While folks inside drink
their worlds away. I guess sometimes
they must feel tied down and chained.
Well, folks around here don't talk about
life like it lasts forever. They talk about
life like it's salt instead of sugar. And the
elders sit around on the front porch. The
young ones, they mostly play. Every-
body else watchin' TV screens, watchin'
big time miles, miles away. And the days
go by just like hurricanes. And here
comes that very same old feelin' again.
Another face in the crowd, well baby, I'm
here for the takin'. Just like everybody
else, now, I feel I've been forsaken. Yeah,
Boy Johnny sings like a hurtin' soul,
made ten million dollars in one day,
spent every dime the very same night,
and the tax man takes him away. Yeah,
the judge walks in and he says, "Boy
Johnny, you must be crazy or just lying."
Boy Johnny says, "Judge you may be
right but I had a good time. An' look
Brand new just around the corner from you
Love can be an ocean so blue
If you hold it for a little while
If you hold it for a little while
Janey looks up to the sky
The rain ain't come down in a long, long time
Now she's lookin' over at her man
Tryin' to hold on as tight as she can
Summer's heat is burning up the grass
Green is turning brown like a shadow being cast
Strangely sad, there ain't a cloud up above
She wishes it would rain she remembers when their love was
Brand new just around the corner from you
Love can be an ocean so blue
If you hold it for a little while
If you hold it for a little while
He does a lot of staring into space
It never really feels like he's even in the race
There's nothin' there in the hot and humid wind
He wonders if they'll ever know the feeling again of
Brand new just around the corner from you
Love can be an ocean so blue
If you hold it for a little while
If you hold it for a little while
The road they're on is hazy from the dust
It's gettin' hard to see all the things they put in trust
But while she sleeps, he whispers with a thirst
"There's a cloud inside me and I'm gonna make it burst out"
Brand new just around the corner from you
Love can be an ocean so blue
If you hold it for a little while
If you hold it for a little while
Just around the corner from you Hold it for a little while
Just around the corner from you Hold it for a little while
Just around the corner from you Hold it for a little while
Cherry says that her heart ain't no good, it's been broken
You can see for yourself, there's no life in them eyes
She sits alone in a corner drinkin' not hopin'
She's just killin' off time, waitin' to die
Cherry, Cherry, will start to talk when she's feelin' her drunk
Sometimes there's no one to listen that don't stand in her way
It's gettin' harder to reach that point where she's soarin'
She hasn't heard that click in her head yet today
Singin'
Leave me here all by myself, I don't need no one
No, it isn't very pretty, but it's a popular song
Now if you look at her close, you see a beauty
She was Queen of the Hop, and married in May
But her husband was young, he got scared and left her behind
Some people came and took her children away
I've been seein' her 'round this place for a few years now
Fallen angel of blue, like an Orbison song
She spills a drop or two on her tattered pictures
As I write, I watch the night go down
And I see the lonely, twinkling lights of town
And I think about a girl
She's out there in the world
She's looking for, she's looking for me somewhere
I heard her sing once at the rodeo
She wore a rhinestone suit of white and gold
And as she sang and played
She stole my heart away
She's looking for, she's looking for me somewhere
She's looking for me somewhere, I know
She's looking for me high and looking low
Oh, to live and die, it seems
Is a waste without a dream
She's looking for, she's looking for me somewhere
She's looking for me somewhere, I know
She's looking for me high and looking low
Oh, to live and die, it seems
Is a waste without a dream
She's looking for, she's looking for me somewhere
And as the morning sun begins to rise
Alone, I go to bed and I close my eyes
And I Dream about a girl
Out there in the world
She's looking for, she's looking for me somewhere
When we go out, you know she takes so long
And I'm thinking this is starting all wrong
Then she comes out looking like a moonglow ray
When I'm thinking 'bout my
Can't stop thinking 'bout my baby
Sometimes she snores, sometimes she breathes on me
So I push her away so tenderly
And in the morning, well it's a brand new day
You can laugh right in my face
Say, "You're just a pussy-whip"
But you know down deep inside
That what I'm feeling is really it
One time we got drunk and we got in this fight
She threw her purse at me and took out the light
In the dark, well we just laughed and played
I ain't the kinda guy that likes to talk too much
But there's one subject that I'm sure fond of
Talk about love
Talk about emotion
Talk about the weather, well, I feel under
Talk about a time
Talk about change, but iot don't make me feel any better
Sometimes, baby, it's hard to see
Blind to the love and to the honesty
Close our eyes. count to three
Picture love in a memory
Take it tomorrow
Take it tomorrow, it'll be alright
Take it tomorrow
Take it tomorrow, it'll be alright, be alright
Days go by, shades of blue
Nights fall down on me and you
That's alright, this is all wrong
Maybe there's nothing that we can do
But take it tomorrow
Take it tomorrow, it'll be alright
Take it tomorrow
Take it tomorrow, it'll be alright, be alright
It'll be alright, babe
Baby, don't it feel like the rain's gonna fall
Take away these tears
Ain't it funny when you take a look back
It'll feel like wasted years
Be alright
Days go by, shades of blue
Nights fall down on me and you
That's alright, this is all wrong
Maybe there's nothing that we can do
But take it tomorrow
Take it tomorrow, it'll be alright
Take it tomorrow

Well I lost my job down at the factory
Lost my money in the lottery
Met a little girl walkin' down the street, I said
Ain't there any way to how to beat the heat
She said hey now little baby, love is all you need
I said workin' on love sounds good to me
Chorus
It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it,
Baby just let it work
Well, I'm playin' six string down at the corner bar
Be-bop-a-lula on a berry guitar
There was a big fat daddy in a cadillac
Sweet little angel ridin' in the back
Hey now mister nothin's gonna come for free
I said Playin' six string sounds good to me
Chorus
Sweet little Mary was just thirteen
Walkin' down the street she'd make a good man mean
Take a truthin' man and she could make him a liar
She could take the coolest cat and set his soul on fire
Hey there pretty babby got me down on my knees
Ya got me workin' every night babe' tryin' to please
Well, I work for the money but it takes my pride.
It takes everything that I got down inside.
Takes half a life just to break even,
and it takes half my money just to have my fun.
And I get so tired of love on the phone.
I'm standin' here when I should be at home.
And the longest nights when I'm far away,
you listen, pretty baby, to the words I say.
"Hey lady, yes I can do anything, wanna be your man.
Hey lady, yes I could do anything when the love is good."
No tears will fall from this angel's eyes.
We'll hold promises where the love never dies.
Old memories, well, I ain't got none,
'cuz soft, sweet angel, now, you're the one.
Well, I guess I'll go find my way, get down on my knees and pray.
All this talk 'bout love someday, when, baby, I'm just givin' it away.
Now, no tears gonna fall, no one's gonna cry.
We'll hole up in heaven, let the world go by.
Longest nights when I'm far away,
I fear, I fear I've gone too far
Yes, I fear I've led you astray from way back when
Now I feel you again yesterday
And I hope, I hope, I do, I pray
I'm still headed to worlds where
I intended to be when I could see with way clearer eyes
'Cause this big wide open crazy world can get you downhearted
And wondering where you stand or fall, wondering why try at all?
Well, I say stay on, stay on, steady now
Stay on, stay, don't you stray
I know, I know the time goes by
With a bleary blink of an eye
But I see, I do, for me and you
There's two boys holdin' stars for the wishin'
Yeah one boy's sure one says "I don't know"
But sometimes I feel we been missin'
Love I try, and away they go
And in this ol' town the wind starts blowin
And the radio sings blues for free
We got the bottle down for soakin' dreams (yeah!)
"Tears of a clown" well, hey, that's me
And hearts that fall in two pretend they don't show
Holding back the rain, baby, let it go
You don't get much without giving
You don't get much without giving
Hey! Hey! Yeah! Hey! Hey! Yeah!
Hey! Hey! Yeah! Hey! Hey! Yeah!
Oh, she left one shoe behind in the back hallway
She left one memory the strangest kind
I guess naive love songs are savin' grace
When losers win in this losin' race
And hearts that fall in two pretend they don't show
Holding back the rain, baby, let it go
You don't get much without giving
You don't get much without giving
Hey! Hey! Yeah! Hey! Hey! Yeah!
Hey! Hey! Yeah! Hey! Hey! Yeah!
Oh... You don't get much You don't get much
You don't get much You don't get much
Her people didn't have much going
She was 15 years old
And her eyes were on fire
Burning straight from her soul
Her boots and her movies
Man, she was into her bong
And no one really knew her
She felt confused and alone
If anyone would have asked her
She would have liked to have said
"All I ever wanted was to be on your side
All I ever wanted was to be with you
All I ever wanted was to be on your side
All I ever wanted was to feel"
Since those times with her stepdad
She's been a victim of sex
Her family was gone now
It was all she had left
"Wasn't I good enough for you?
Wasn't I sweet enough
Wasn't I pretty enough
Why didn't you ever want me?"
Now those eyes once so hungry
Are just holes she can't seem to fill
And what she learned from her mama
Has long lost it's thrill
And in the distance there's thunder
Running over the sky
Man, she'd like to feel that
