And what will happen in the morning
When the world it gets
So crowded that you can't look
Out the window in the morning
And what will happen in the evening
In the forest with the weasel
With the teeth that bite so sharp
When you're not looking in the evening
And all the friends that you once knew are left behind
They kept you safe
And so secure amongst the books
And all the records of your lifetime
What will happen
In the morning
When the world it gets so crowded
That you can't look out the window in the morning
Hey, take a little while to grow your brother's hair
And now, take a little while to make your sister fair
And now that the family is part of a chain
Take off your eye shade, start over again
Now take a little while to find your way in here
Now take a little while to make your story clear
Now that you're lifting, your feet from the ground
Weigh up your anchor and never look round
Let's sing a song for Hazey Jane
She's back again in my mind
If songs were lines in a conversation
You know that I love you
You know I don't care
You know that I see you
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
It's so easy to fall in love with you
I know I did for a day or two
You never noticed lost in your crowd
Just no room for me up on that cloud
Can't find no changes
For better in my luck
Empty are my eyes and my heart
Cold grey days
The nights are so long
My heart is sinking
Bound to a stone
This old world is a bag of tricks
A whole lot of nothin'
Where nothin' ever fits
In all her glory she just don't compare
To one single tear
In your beautiful eyes
Thank you December
For your cold grey air
Lakes are frozen, trees are bare
I once loved her
Of that I am proud
Just no room for me
Which will you go for?
Which will you love?
Which will you choose from?
From the stars above
Which will you answer?
Which will you call?
Which will you take for?
For your one and all
And tell me now
Which will you love the best?
Which do you dance for?
Which makes you shine?
Which will you choose now?
If you won't choose mine
Which will you hope for?
Which can it be?
Which will you take now?
If you won't take me
And tell me now
Don't you have a word to show what may be done
Have you never heard a way to find the sun
Tell me all that you may know
Show me what you have to show
Won't you come and say
If you know the way to blue
Have you seen the land living by the breeze
Can you understand a light among the trees
Tell me all that you may know
Show me what you have to show
Tell us all today
If you know the way to blue
Look through time and find your rhyme
Tell us what you find
We will wait at your gate
Hoping like the blind
Can you now recall all that you have known
Will you never fall when the light has flown
Tell me all that you may know
Show me what you have to show
Won't you come and say
You have never tried
To conceal or deny
That this love is my ruin
My peril and trial
All of the promises were nothing but lies
But now that you're here
Why don't you stay for a while
Most of my friends
Fell under your spell
Some fell into heaven
But most fell back in to hell
The beauty forgotten
Like the snow-covered crops in the field
Where the wind knows no mercy
And she howls and she reels
But I'm tired of pretending
Yes I'm tired of pretending
That I still care
I still care
And the smoke curls like a river
To some forgotten land
Floating abandoned the mystery concealed
Like the moonlit shadows
On a snow-covered field
Where the wind knows no mercy
And she howls
And she reels
But I'm tired of pretending
Yes I'm tired of pretending
That I still care
Believe me, pretty mama
Better not treat me right
Just have to forget you
After tomorrow night
Believe me, pretty mama
Better take your picture too
Don't want to remember
What a good looking girl can do
Don't send me no letter
Don't write me no postcard
Thinking about you, baby
Makes it twice as hard
Believe me, pretty mama
Better not treat me right
Just have to forget you
After tomorrow night
Well i`m sitting here
On the sudden(? )
Watching the trees go by
My baby, at the end of the depot(? )
Lay me down and cry
Believe me, pretty mama
Better not treat me right
Just have to forget you
Time has told me
You're a rare, rare find
A troubled cure
For a troubled mind
And time has told me
Not to ask for more
For someday our ocean
Will find its shore
So I'll leave the ways that are making me be
What I really don't want to be
Leave the ways that are making me love
What I really don't want to love
Time has told me
You came with the dawn
A soul with no footprint
A rose with no thorn
Your tears they tell me
There's really no way
Of ending your troubles
With things you can say
And time will tell you
To stay by my side no, no
To keep on trying
Till there's no more to hide
So leave the ways that are making you be
What you really don't want to be
Leave the ways that are making you love
What you really don't want to love
Time has told me
You're a rare, rare find
A troubled cure
For a troubled mind
And time has told me
Not to ask for more
For some day our ocean
Three hours from sundown, Jeremy flies
Hoping to keep the sun from his eyes
East from the city and down to the cave
In search of a master in search of a slave
Three hours from London, Jacomo's free
Taking his woes down to the sea
In search of a lifetime to tell when he's home
In search of a story that's never been known
Three hours from speaking, everyone's flown
Not wanting to be, seen on their own
Three hours is needed to leave from them all
Three hours to wonder, three hours to fall
Three hours from sundown, Jeremy flies
Hoping to keep the sun from his eyes
East from the city and down to the cave
And now you know my name
But I don't feel the same
But I ain't gonna blame
The rider on the wheel
And I know my song is new
I know it's new for you
I tell you, how it's true
For the rider on the wheel
And round and round we go
We take it, fast and slow
I must keep up a show
For the rider on the wheel
For the rider on the wheel
Know my name
But I don't feel the same
But I ain't gonna blame
The rider on the wheel
A black eyed dog he called at my door
The black eyed dog he called for more
A black eyed dog he knew my name
A black eyed dog he knew my name
The black eyed dog, a black eyed dog
I'm growing old and I wanna go home
I'm growing old and I don't wanna know
I'm growing old and I wanna go home
A black eyed dog he called at my door
I was walking thru the forest
One cold and dreary morn
My heart sick with jealousy
And memories I need no more
No I could never kill a man
But I would do him harm
Knowing that you're there
Lying in his arms
My flesh was ripped and torn
By the bramble and the thorn
I was lost but well-prepared
To offer up my soul
Because the greater misery
Is to live with what I know
The moon concealed by April's storm
No bearing I could find
Until I fell into a clearing
And a road I recognized
I was far
Far from my home
Further from her smile
Not sure if I would return
Or just lay down and die
As I stood in Phaedra's Meadow
Well the dawn did break the sky
And from the highest up in heaven
When I was young, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
And now I'm older, see it face to face
And now I'm older, gotta get up clean the place
And I was green, greener than the hill
Where the flowers grew and the sun shone still
Now I'm darker than the deepest sea
Just hand me down, give me a place to be
And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day was done
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get you all
It's a pink moon, yeah, pink moon
Pink, pink, pink, pink, pink moon
Pink, pink, pink, pink, pink moon
I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get you all
Never sing for my supper
I never help my neighbor
Never do what is proper
For my share of labor
I'm a poor boy and I'm a rover
Count your coins and
Throw them over my shoulder
I may grow older
Nobody knows how cold it grows
And nobody sees how shaky my knees
Nobody cares how steep my stairs
And nobody smiles if I cross their stiles
Oh, poor boy
So sorry for himself
Oh, poor boy
So worried for his health
You may say every day
Where will he stay tonight?
Never know what I came for
Seems that I've forgotten
Never ask what I came from
Or how I was begotten
I'm a poor boy and I'm a ranger
Things I say
May seem stranger than Sunday
Changing to Monday
Nobody knows how cold it flows
And nobody feels worn down heels
Nobody's eyes make the skies
Nobody spreads aching heads
Oh, poor boy
So worried for his life
Oh, poor boy
So keen to take a wife
He's a mess but he'll say 'yes'
If you just dress in white
Nobody knows how cold it blows
And nobody sees how shaky are my knees
Nobody cares how steep my stairs
And nobody smiles if you cross their stiles
Oh, poor boy
So sorry for himself
Oh, poor boy
So worried for his health
You may say every day
Where will he stay tonight?
Oh, poor boy
So worried for his life
Oh, poor boy
So keen to take a wife
Oh, poor boy
So sorry for himself
Oh, poor boy
So worried for his health
Oh, poor boy
I was born to love no one
No one to love me
Only the wind in the long green grass
The frost in a broken tree
I was made to love magic
All its wonder to know
But you all lost that magic
Many, many years ago
I was born to use my eyes
Dream with the sun and the skies
To float away in a lifelong song
In the mist where melody flies
I was made to love magic
I was born to sail away
Into a land of forever
Not to be tied to an old stone grave
In your land of never
Why leave me hanging on a star?
When you deem me so high
When you deem me so high
When you deem me so high
Why leave me sailing in a sea?
When you hear me so clear
When you hear me so clear
When you hear me so clear
Why leave me hanging on a star?
When you deem me so high
When you deem me so high
[Instrumental]
Falling fast and falling free
You look to find a friend
Falling fast and falling free
This could just be the end
Falling fast you stoop to touch
And kiss the flowers that bend
And you're ready now
Do you curse where you come from? Do you swear in the night?
Will it mean much to you if I treat you right
Do you like what you're doing? Would you do it some more?
Or will you stop once and wonder what you're doing it for?
Hey slow Jane, make sense slow, slow, Jane, cross the fence
Do you feel like a remnant of something that's past?
Do you find things are moving just a little too fast?
Do you hope to find new ways of quenching your thirst
Do you hope to find new ways of doing better than your worst?
Hey slow Jane, let me prove slow, slow Jane, we're on the move
Do it for you
Sure that you would do the same for me one day
So try to be true
Even if it's only in your hazy way
Can you tell if you're moving with no mirror to see
If you're just riding a new man looks a little like me
Is it all so confusing, is it hard to believe?
When the winter is coming can you sign up and leave?
A day once dawned and it was beautiful
A day once dawned from the ground
Then the night she fell
And the air was beautiful
The night she fell all around
So look see the days
The endless colored ways
Go play the game that you learnt
From the morning
And now we rise
And we are everywhere
And now we rise from the ground
And see she flies
And she is everywhere
See she flies all around
So look see the sights
The endless summer nights
And go play the game that you learnt
I know you
I care too
I see through
All of the pictures that you keep on the wall
All of the people that will come to the ball
But hear me calling
Won't you give me
A free ride
Hear me calling
Won't you give me
A free ride
I know too
What you do
When you're through
Counting the cattle as they go by the door
Keeping a carpet that's so thick on the floor
But hear me calling
Won't you give me
A free ride
Hear me calling
Won't you give me
A free ride
I know you
I care too
I see through
All of the pictures that you keep on the wall
All of the people that will come to the ball
But hear me calling
Won't you give me
A free ride
Hear me calling
Won't you give me
I could have done better things
If someone shut my mouth
Or somebody clipped my wings
So many wasted evenings
Talking the same sweet talk
Always the last ones leaving
Waking up when fortunes knock
I've no regrets no I couldn't think of one
We both kept the road
The road that we stumbled on
You and me walking home
Fighting the morning light
Just making our way through days
But making out like thieves at night
I can't help wondering
Can't help wondering why
I can't help wondering
Can't help wondering why
Sometimes you wake up screaming
All my life I must be dreaming
I've been wrong
And I'm not strong
But I'll be the one that keeps rolling on
Born to this generation
Never made to wait
Looking like fools sometimes
A couple of blind men at the gate
I can't help wondering
Can't help wondering why
I can't help wondering
Green are your eyes
In the morning, when you rise
Don't you be afraid to lie
By me, my love
Your father will not know
Love can be broken
Though no words are spoken
Don't you be afraid to lie
By me, my love
Your father will not know
Love, don't cry
I`ll never try
Don't you be afraid to lie
By me, my love
Your father will not know
Green are your eyes
In the morning, when you rise
Don't you be afraid to lie
By me, my love
Your father will be told someday
Come, my baby
Dressed in white
Hey, baby
Won't you stay the night
Cocaine
All around my brain
Come, my baby
Dressed in red
Hey, baby
Won't you come to bed
Cocaine
All around my brain
Hey, baby
Won't you please come quick
This old cocaine
Is making me sick
Cocaine
All around my brain
Come, my baby
Dressed in green
Hey, baby
Can't be seen
Cocaine
All around my brain
Hey, baby
Won't you please come quick
This old cocaine
Is making me sick
Cocaine
All around my brain
Cocaine
Catch a boat to england, baby
Maybe to spain
Wherever I have gone
Wherever I've been and gone
Wherever I have gone, the blues I'd to sing
Go bring me whiskey, baby
Go bring me gin
Me and room service, honey
Me and room service
Me and room service, well we're living like a sin
When I'm not drinking, baby
You are on my mind
When I'm not sleeping
When I'm not sleeping
When I'm not sleeping, well you know, you`ll find me crying
Try another city, baby
Try another town
Wherever I have gone
Wherever I've been and gone
Wherever I have gone, the blues run the game
Well maybe someday, baby
Somewhere down the line
I`ll wake up older, honey
So much older
I`ll wake up older and just stop all my trying
Catch a boat to england, baby
Maybe to spain
Wherever I have gone
Wherever I've been and gone
Old Black Mountain
Tried to spit in your face
Old Black Mountain
Tried to spit in your face
Baby's grubbing whiskey
Oh she's practising bass
Old Black Mountain
Mean as they can be
Old Black Mountain
Mean as they can be
They use gunpowder
Just to sweeten the tea
Had a girl in Black Mountain
Sweetest girl in town
Had a girl in Black Mountain
Sweetest girl in town
But she met a sweet black man
Then she threw me down
Well, old Black Mountain
Can't keep man in jail
Well, Black Mountain
Can't keep man in jail
Jury call him guilty
Judge will grant him bail
Goin' back to Black Mountain
Me and my razor and my gun
Goin' back to Black Mountain
Me and my razor and my gun
Gonna cut her if she stands there
When the day is done
Down to earth then sinks the sun
Along with everything
That was lost and won
When the day is done
When the day is done
Hope so much your race will be all run
Then you find you jumped the gun
Have to go back where you begun
When the day is done
When the night is cold
Some get by but some get old
Just to show life's not made of gold
When the night is cold
When the bird has flown
Got no one to call your own
Got no place to call your home
When the bird has flown
When the game's been fought
Newspaper blowing across the court
Lost much sooner
Than you would have thought
Now the game's been fought
When the party's through
Seems so very sad for you
Didn't do the things you meant to do
Now there's no timing to start anew
Now the party's through
When the day is done
Down to earth then sinks the sun
Along with everything
That was lost and won
[Instrumental]
Are you ready
Ready to cry
Are you ready
Ready to cry
This is the saddest story we all know why
So cry cry cry
Are you ready
Ready to leave
This life we love
You know what I mean
No more whiskey
No more cigarettes
And your last breath just like a sunset
You know I love your old bones
I love your story but you're going home
Are you ready
Are you ready
Ready to die
Are you ready
Ready to die
Is there anything I can do
Cause saying goodbye to you
Will be the hardest thing I ever do
Don't worry buddy we'll see this thing through
I'll cry the river that carries you through
I had a little book
Was give to me
And every page
Spoke of liberty
All my trials
Will soon be over
There is a tree
In paradise
The pilgrims call it
The tree of life
All my trials
Will soon be over
But it's too late, my friend
Too late
But never mind
All my trials
Will soon be over
If religion were a thing
That money could buy
Then the rich would live
And the poor would die
All my trials
Will soon be over
All my trials
Seems the time is near for finding a place outside
Seems the time is here for holding the window wide
So I'm going to try
To open up one eye
But if the world is too wide
I'll be home to hide
Keep it warm inside, if it's strange, outside.
Seems the time has flown, when we lived inside a cloud
Seems the time has gone, when nothing we said was out loud
Going to find a word
Make myself be heard
But if the world is too loud
I'll be home from the crowd
Keep it soft inside, if it's strange, outside.
Seems the time has come for banging our feet to the ground
Seems the time has come to see if the world is round
Sweep the smoke away
Reach the earth today
But if the world is all wrong
I won't be staying long
I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons, knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here, brighten my northern sky
I've been a long time that I'm waiting
I've been a long time that I'm blown
I've been a long time that I've wandered
Through the people I have known
Oh, if you would and you could
Straighten my new mind's eye
Would you love me for my money?
Would you love me for my head?
Would you love me through the winter?
And would you love me 'til I'm dead?
Oh, if you would and you could
Come blow your horn on high
I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons, knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
Yes, mama - yes, girl
Hear me calling you
So sweet, so sweet
My sugar`s so sweet
My baby don't you go
Aint seen my little sugar come home
So sweet, so sweet
My sugar's so sweet
But my baby she'd long gone
But I've seen her - I must`ve been doing her wrong
So sweet, so sweet
My sugar's so sweet
See my baby, don't act so smart
I'll cut out your liver, and eat your heart
So sweet, so sweet
My sugar's so sweet
Yes, mama - yes, girl
Hear me calling you
So sweet, so sweet
Sailing in seas of forget-me-not
Joining the race for the sun
Following baits made of daisy-chains
The new life has now begun.
So go your way and I'll follow
Just lead the way.
Drifting in lights of the fairground
Floating away on the breeze
Dazzled by scenes of a merry go round
You take the air with such ease.
So go your way and I'll follow
Just lead the way.
Dancing to midsummer nightsongs
Sprayed by the warmth of the rain
Blurred in the heat of a landscape
Fly to the moon once again.
So go your way and I'll follow on the breeze
Float with such ease
When joey first came the light seemed to rise
Thought it came in the night and left with her eyes
And I wish that her face would return once again
Just one day to remind me of saturday's gain.
As I sit in her city in fog and in steam
Everything's blurred, for blurred is my dream
So I'll leave for my terrace and tea laced with rum
And wait for the day when joey will come.
And come all the dreams that never did try
To live on a memory or float on a sigh
Together we'll sit in the saturday rain
Who wouldn't do anything
That you want them to
Carry the world right to your feet
If that's what you want me to do
Didn't we laugh
And scream and shout
Didn't we wait
Til it all worked out
I know it's late
And I should wait until the morning comes
But I got a fear that wakes me up
And I don't know where the fear comes from
Didn't I bring you
What I could bring
Didn't I tell you
Everything
Well I will
Well I will
Some people talk about us
Said we'd never get this far
Let it all rain around us
You know the way things are
Fifteen miles from hope
Another town another week goes by
I'm fading away here like the birds
That disappear into the sky
Wouldn't I be there
When you call
I pick you up
When you start to fall
Well I will
Well I will
Well I will
Love is but the song we sing
Fear the way we die
It can make the mountains ring
Make the angels cry
So the bird is on the wind
You may not know why
Hey people now, smile on your brother
Let me see you get together
And love one another
Some may come and some may go
We will surely pass
Will the one who left us here
Return for us at last?
We are but a moment's sunlight
Fading in the grass
Hey people now, smile on your brother
Let me see you get together
And love one another
If you hear the song I'm singing
You will understand
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It`s at your command
Hey people now, smile on your brother
Let me see you get together
Thoughts of rain at sunset
Clouds of rainbow blue
Thoughts of sun on sand-dunes
Where the seabirds flew
This was our season and we said, it couldn't end
But my love left with the rain
Thoughts of leaves in autumn
Falling from the trees
Thoughts of hovering tree tops
Leading to the sea
This was our season, no lies and no pretend
But my love left with the rain
Thoughts of springtime rainfall
Touching flowers that bend
Thoughts of wind in willows
Days that never end
This was our season and we said it couldn't end
But my love left with the rain
Rain's the way you move now
Sun the way you seem
Flowers the, leaves the way you wonder
Flowers the way you dream
This was our season but sorrow waited 'round the bend
For my love left with the rain
This was our season and we said it couldn't end
Gold and silver
Is the autumn
Soft and tender
Are the skys
Yes and knows
All the answers
Written in
My true love's eyes
Autumn's leaving
Winter is coming
I think that I'll
Be moving along
I've got to leave her
And find another
I've got to sing
My heart's true song
Round and round
The burning circle
All the seasons
One, two and three
Autumn leaves
And then the winter
Spring is born
And world is free
Gold and silver
Bounds my heart on
All too soon
They fade and die
And then I'd know
There'd be no others
Milk and honey
Where they lie
Mayfair strange in the morning light
Mayfair strange in the summer night
Mayfair strangest in the afternoon
Mayfair stretching far above
Full of fame but lacking love
Could it be we see the Mayfair moon?
Mayfair strange across the park
In the day or in the dark
There's no need to walk or even run
Mayfair faces clean and nice
But beauty here is cold as ice
Could it be we see the Mayfair sun?
Mayfair strange at every hour
Hidden frowns with mystic power
Starry heights and golden throne
Down below you're on your own
Mayfair strange for passers-by
Sights of wonder for the eye
Could it be that they'll pass by again?
Mayfair calling far and near
For even trees are wealthy here
Could it be we hear the Mayfair rain?
Mayfair strange in the morning light
Mayfair strange in the summer night
Mayfair strangest in the afternoon
Mayfair stretching far above
Full of fame but lacking love
Joey will come, to see your flowers
Joey will come, to while away your hours
She will tell you you're not so good for her
She wouldn't be there if it could be that you were
Joey has loved, never shown her tears
So she may laugh in the autumn of your years
When you're with her you'll wonder if it's true
All that they said of a world without you
Where she may come from, where she may go
Who she may run from, no one will know
Why she was late may trouble you some
Still you wait for Joey to come
Joey will come when once more it looks like snow
Joey will come when it's really time to go
And you may smile when you find that you've been wrong
You thought you found her but she knew you all along
Well I wake up in the morning
Look at my clock
It's way past noon time
Now I'm late for work.
Tell me, tell me
What have I done wrong?
Ain't nothing go right with me
Must be I've been smoking too long.
Well I go to find me some breakfast
But I ain't got no food
Take me a shower
But the water don't feel no good.
Tell me...
I've got opium in my chimney
No other life to choose
Nightmare made of hash dreams.
Got the devil in my shoes
Tell me...
Well when I'm smoking
Put my worries on a shelf
Don't think about nothin'
Try not to see myself.
Tell me...
Well in this blues I'm singin'
There's a lesson to be learned
Don't go around smokin'
Unless you want to get burned.
It's summertime
And the living is easy
Fish are jumping
And the cotton is high
Your daddy is rich
And your mommy's good looking
So hush pretty baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're gonna wake up singing
You're gonna spread your wings
Take to the sky
But till that morning
There's just not a thing that can harm you
Monday is shining, you know 'em Tuesday's rain
Well, the days go by me like a southbound train
Yes, it's funny thinking you will never call my name
Here comes long lonely, here come the blues
Well, the world's the same old comedy, you know my time is cold
Nothing new, blue lady, I won't get old
'Cause the deal is gone now, I'd just better hold
Here comes long lonely, here come the blues
Well, sun has run down, she has gone out to hide
Yes, and now I'm out walking where the midnight ride
Just me and the good time Charlies and the suicide
Here comes long lonely, here come the blues
Well, Monday's dry, yes, and Tuesday's just the same
Maybe come down blue Wednesday, I'm gonna grab the brakes again
'Cause no bottle of pills could ever kill this pain
Here comes long lonely, here come the blues
Well, there was a man who lived in a shed
Spent most of his days out of his head
For his shed was rotten let in the rain
Said it was enough to drive any man insane
When it rained
He felt so bad
When it snowed he felt just simply sad
Well, there was a girl who lived nearby
Whenever he saw her he could only simply sigh
But she lived in a house so very big and grand
For him it seemed like some very distant land
So when he called her
His shed to mend
She said, "I'm sorry you'll just have to find a friend"
Well, this story is not so very new
But the man is me, yes and the girl is you
So leave your house come into my shed
Please stop my world from raining through my head
Please don't think
I'm not your sort
Strange face, with your eyes
So pale and sincere
Underneath you know well
You have nothing to fear
For the dreams that came
To you when so young
Told of a life
Where spring is sprung
You would seem so frail
In the cold of the night
When the armies of emotion
Go out to fight
But while the earth
Sinks to its grave
You sail to the sky
On the crest of a wave
So forget this cruel world
Where I belong
I'll just sit and wait
And sing my song
And if one day you should see me
In the crowd
Lend a hand and lift me
Gold and silver
Is the autumn
Soft and tender
Are the skys
Yes and no's
Are the answers
Written in
My true love's eyes
Autumn's leaving
Winter is coming
I think that i'll
Be moving along
I've got to leave her
And find another
I've got to sing
My heart's true song
Round and round
The burning circle
All the seasons
One, two and three
Autumn leaves
And then the winter
Spring is born
And world is free
Gold and silver
Bounds my heart on
All too soon
They fade and die
And then I'd know
There'd be no others
Milk and honey
Winter is gone
And the leaves are green
Winter is gone
And the leaves turn green
Your innocent face
I wish I never had seen**
Come on, my love
And fare thee well
Come on, my love
And fare thee well
You cheated me
But I wish you well
Rope is bought
And the bough is swung
Rope is bought
And the bough is swung
An innocent man
This day will be hung
Come on, my love
And see me die
Come on, my love
And see me die
See me dancing
Dance 'NEATH the sky**
'Neath those gallows high
Come on and see me die
Winter is gone
And the leaves are green
Winter is gone
And the leaves ARE green**
Your innocent face
Voice from the mountain
And a voice from the sea
Voice in my neighbourhood
And a voice calling me.
Tell me my friend my friend
Tell me with love
Where can it end it end
Voice from above.
The sound on the ocean wave
And the sound in the tree
Sound in a country lane
Say you can be free.
Tell me you crowd you crowd
Tell me again
Tell me out loud out loud
This sound is rain.
Tune from the hillside
And tune full of light
A flute in the morning
And a chime in the night.
I know the game again
I know the score
I know my name my name
But this tune is more.
Voice from the mountain
And voice from the sea
Voice from in my neighbourhood
And a voice calling me.
Tell me my friend my friend
Tell me with love
Where can it end it end
This day is the day that we rise or we fall
This night is night that we win or lose all
This time is the time that we wait for awhile
This year is the year that we wait with a smile
If you call, we will follow
If you show us we can tow the line
And now that you're here you can show me the way
And now that you're here we can try make it pay
And while you were gone it was hard, it was cold
While you were gone we were time, we were old
If you call we will follow
If you show us we can tow the line
If you call we will follow
If today were not an endless highway
If tonight were not a crooked trail
If tomorrow weren't such a long time
Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all
And only if my own true love were waiting for me
And if I could hear her heart softly pounding
If only she was lying by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
I can't see my reflection in the water
Can't speak the sounds that show no pain
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
Can't remember the sound of my own name
And only if my own true love were waiting for me
And if I could hear he heart softly pounding
If only she was lying by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
There's beauty in the silver, singing river
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
None of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyes
And only if my own true love were waiting for me
And if I could hear he heart softly pounding
If only she was lying by me
In the bright red sky
In the heat of an evening
When only prisoners sleep
She said she couldn't
Come to the garden
See an old man wheel
She said her dreams
What too far to be thought of
As scars too white to view
She said she couldn't
Come to the garden
See a blind man kneel
She sailed away
To a blue horizon
In floating thoughts she'd sway
She said she couldn't
Come to the garden
See an old man pray
She wished them luck
As they left on their journey
Maybe she'd join them soon
But she lost her grip
At the tip of life's finger
Saturday sun came early one morning
In a sky so clear and blue
Saturday sun came without warning
So no-one knew what to do
Saturday sun brought people and faces
That didn't seem much in their day
But when I remember those people and places
They were really too good in their way
In their way, in their way
Saturday sun won't come and see me today
Think about stories with reason and rhyme
Circling through your brain
And think about people in their season and time
Returning again and again
And again, and again
And Saturday's sun has turned to Sunday's rain
So Sunday sat in the Saturday sun
Who can know
The thoughts of mary jane
Why she flies
Or goes out in the rain
Where she's been
And who she's seen
In her journey to the stars.
Who can know
The reasons for her smile
What are her dreams
When they've journeyed for a mile
The way she sings
And her brightly coloured rings
Make her the princess of the sky.
Who can know
What happens in her mind
Did she come from a strange world
And leave her mind behind
Her long lost sighs
And her brightly coloured eyes
Tell her story to the wind.
Who can know
The thoughts of mary jane
Why she flies
Or goes out in the rain
Where she's been
And who she's seen
Through early morning fog I see
visions of the things to be
the pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see...
[REFRAIN]
That suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
I try to find a way to make
all our little joys relate
without that ever-present hate
but now I know that it's to late, and...
REFRAIN
The game of life is hard to play
I'm going to lose it anyway
the losing card I'll someday lay
so this is all I have to say
REFRAIN
The only way to win is cheat
and lay it down before I'm beat
and to another give my seat
for that's the only painless feat
REFRAIN
The sword of time will pierce our skins
it doesn't hurt when it begins
but as it works its way on in
the pain grows stronger...watch it grin but...
REFRAIN
A brave man once requested me
to answer questions that are key
is it to be or not to be
and I replied 'oh why ask me?'
'Cause suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please
I don't know much about love
How it cures and frees the soul
Makes you whole and all that other stuff
But I was kissed by lady luck
And I know that I'm stuck on you
Yes I know that I'm stuck on you
Sometimes it gets so very hard
It's like we're trying to tear each other apart
With every scar a deeper love revealed
Now there's nothing left to conceal
No there's nothing left to conceal
With every turn it's like we hit a wall
Do you see it the same way
And I don't want to complicate it
But I hate this place
And there's only so much that I can take
Before this glass heart breaks
And I know I've got to let you go
You were gone so long
And I didn't even know
It's just that I love you so
And I know that I'm stuck on you
Strolling down the highway
I`m gonna get there my way
Just keep on down-a-walking
You hear my guitar, rocking
Well I stroll
On down
On down the highway
People think I'm a crazing
Lot about how they're-a-lazing
Sunshine's all day long
Narcotics far too strong
Well I stroll
On down
On down the highway
Cars won't stop for no one
But don't you think that you're just rolling down
Think you are a spy
Gonna shoot them as they go by
Well, no cars
No cars
Won't stop for no one
Strolling down the highway
I'm gonna get there my way
Just keep on down-a-walking
You hear my guitar, rocking
Well I stroll
On down
I got my plans
From trembling hands
I knew just what to do
Follow each step carefully
And hope they pulled me through
My father ran
To different lands
And not a word we spoke
But I was here
To conquer fear
And bring some glory home
There's a world of hate and sorrow
Out there standing in your way
There's a load of compromise
Before you die
And each time you step forward you get burned a little bit
No longer know the way
To say goodbye
Now I'm down here underneath
Your bedroom light
Rena please come out
With me tonight
I look in through
The window
And I though I'd take
My chance
I taught myself to play
So I could be where people danced
No higher call
Than stars that fall
I waited patiently
A thousand miles of pavement
That became my destiny
You can wait a lonely lifetime
Wondering when it's gonna come
You can while away the hours
Getting stoned
But one day you get lucky
And you look in someone's eyes
That tell you you don't
Have to be alone
Now I'm falling back
Just out of your sight
Rena please come out
With me tonight
Oh now I know the way things go
And what I put you through
Cause when they try to get to me
They get to me through you
I know it's not the kind of hurt
That's easily set right
And I know you got your reasons
To stay inside
But nothing ever happens
When it's left out on it's own
You locked in there with
Just your wounded pride
I'm down here and I'm
Way too tired to fight
Rena please come out
With me tonight
Rena please come out
Lifting the mask from a local clown
Feeling down like him
Seeing the light in a station bar
And traveling far in sin
Sailing downstairs to the northern line
Watching the shine of the shoes
And hearing the trials of the people there
Who's to care if they lose
And take a look you may see me on the ground
For I am the parasite of this town
Dancing a jig in a church with chimes
A sign of times today
And hearing no bell from a steeple tall
People all in dismay
Falling so far on a silver spoon
Making the moon for fun
And changing a rope for a size too small
People all get hung
Take a look you may see me coming through
For I am the parasite who travels two by two
When lifting the mask from a local clown
And feeling down like him
And I'm seeing the light in a station bar
And traveling far in sin
And I'm sailing downstairs to the northern line
Watching the shine of the shoes
And hearing the trials of the people there
Who's to care if they lose
Take a look you may see me on the ground
For I am the parasite of this town
And take a look you may see me in the dirt
I could have been a sailor, could have been a cook
A real live lover, could have been a book.
I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock.
I could be
Here and now
I would be, I should be
But how?
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first.
I could have been your pillar, could have been your door
I could have stayed beside you, could have stayed for more.
Could have been your statue, could have been your friend,
A whole long lifetime could have been the end.
I could be yours so true
I would be, I should be through and through
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first.
I could have been a whistle, could have been a flute
A real live giver, could have been a boot.
I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock.
I could be even here
I would be, I should be so near
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
The tramp moves on to the end of the street
I listen to the echo of his hobnail feet
For some there's a future to find
But I think they're leaving me behind.
The world humes on at it's breakneck pace
People fly in their lifelong race
For them there's a future to find
But I think they're leaving me behind.
The chances they come, but the chances have been lost
Success can be gained, but at too great a cost
For some there's a future to find
But I think they're leaving me behind.
The wind sweeps up and goes back to it's tree
The rain flows by and moves to the sea
For them there's a future to find
Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter anyhow
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm travelling on
Don't think twice it's all right
Well it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
Light I've never known
Ain't no use in turning on the light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
Wish there was something you could do or say
Something to make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway
Don't think twice, it's all right
And it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
Like you've never done before
It ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
I can't hear you anymore
I'm thinking and a wondering, walking down that road
I once loved a woman - a child I'm told
Gave her my heart, but she wanted my soul
Don't think twice, it's all right
So long, honey-babe
Where i`m bound, I can`t tell
Goodbye is too good a word babe
I'll just say, "fare thee well"
I ain't saying you treated me unkind
You could've done better, but I don't mind
You just kind of wasted my precious time
Who has dressed you in strange clothes of sand?
Who has taken you far from my land?
Who has said that my sayings were wrong?
And who will say that I stayed much too long?
Clothes of sand have covered your face
Given you meaning, taken my place
Some make your way on down to sea
Something has taken you so far from me
Does it now seem worth all the color of skies?
To see the earth through painted eyes
To look through panes of shaded glass
See the stains of winter's grass
Can you now return to from where you came?
Try to burn your changing name
Or with silver spoons and colored light
Will you worship moons in winter's night?
Clothes of sand have covered your face
Given you meaning taken my place
So make your way on down to the sea
Snow in springtime, storm in the sea
Mist at my window, no leaf on my tree
Showers in the garden with no flowers to touch
When will you bring us your sunshine and such.
Season tell me true
What's been wrong with you
Won't you turn again
Blow away the rain
Blue season, turn away.
Wind in the evening, dust in your eye
Heart full of shadow and cloud in your sky
Everything's wrong and you know you're to blame
Nothing will change while you're still the same
Cold in the city, tears on the street
Faces are empty in those that you meet
Lovers and losers who fail in the night
When will it be that you'll treat them right.
Season tell me true
How much do we need you
Won't you turn your wheel
Hide your heart of steel
Blue season, turn away.
Countries and people caught in the rain
When will they learn to feel fine again
Wandering lost now for nothing is clear
Waiting for signs of the turn of the year.
Season tell me true
What's been wrong with you
Won't you turn again
Blow away in the rain
Black days of winter all were through
The blossoms came and they brought you
Clouds left the sky
And I knew the reason why
They made way for you and the blossom.
The seasons cycle turned again
An april shower now and then
Trees came alive
And the bees left their hive
They came out to see you and the blossom.
People were laughing, smiling with the sun
They knew that summer had begun.
The nights grew warm, the days grew long
Spring turned to summer and was gone
It seemed so fine
All the cider and the wine
But I knew you'd go with the blossom.
When spring returns I'll look again
To find another blossom friend
Until I do
Find something new
A crowded room on Beverley
A party for the rent
You were sitting casually
With a few of your fabulous friends
I asked you what your name was
But you just turned and laughed
Then a little later
I finally caught your eye
And even though you tried so hard
You couldn't hide your smile
I followed you downstairs
And we talked for a long long time
Would you call that love
Who's to say
I don't know much about love
But you're the best I ever had
It wasn't long before you changed
Your phone number to mine
You said that you were movin' in
But you needed a little time
So I kept all your messages
Til you made up your mind
Now the rain is fallin' and the clouds are gathering
And the sun refuse to shine
Your promises and whispered words
Are forever on my mind
And I'm left here smokin' cigarettes
That you left behind
Would you call that love
Who's to say
I don't know much about love
Summer was gone and the heat died down
And Autumn reached for her golden crown
I looked behind as I heard a sigh
But this was the time of no reply
The sun went down and the crowd went home
I was left by the roadside all alone
I turned to speak as they went by
But this was the time of no reply
The time of no reply is calling me to stay
There is no hello and no goodbye
To leave there is no way
The trees on the hill had nothing to say
They would keep their dreams till another day
So they stood and thought and wondered why
For this was the time of no reply
Time goes by from year to year
And no one asks why I am standing here
But I have my answers as I look to the sky
This is the time of no reply
The time of no reply is calling me to stay
There's no hello and no goodbye
To leave there is no way
Summer was gone and the heat died down
And Autumn reached for her golden crown
I looked behind as I heard a sigh
Please beware of them that stare
They'll only smile to see you while your time away
And once you've seen what they have been
To win the earth just won't seem worth your night or your day
Who'll hear what I say?
Look around, you'd find the ground
Is not so far from where you are, but don't be too wise
For down below they never grow
They're always tired and charms are hired from out of their eyes
Never surprise
Take your time and you'll be fine
And say a prayer for people there who live on the floor
And if you see what's meant to be
Don't name the day or try to say it happened before
Don't be shy, you'll learn to fly
And see the sun when day is done if only you see
Just what you are beneath a star
That came to stay one rainy day in autumn for free
Yes, be what you'll be
Please beware of them that stare
They'll only smile to see you while your time away
And once you've seen what they have been
To win the earth just won't seem worth your night or your day
Who'll hear what I say?
Open up the broken cup
Let goodly sin and sunshine in, yes, that's today
And open wide the hymns you hide
You find renown while people frown at things that you say
But say what you'll say
About the farmers and the fun
And the things behind the sun
And the people 'round your head
Who say everything's been said
And the movement in your brain
Deep down in the depths of forgotten dreams
So far away, so long ago it seems
The memory comes of a distant beach
Pale sand stretching far from reach
It was then I found my princess of the sand
As I traced the foam, pebbles beneath my feet
I looked behind, I saw this one so sweet
She came to me and I saw in her eyes
The heavy toll of a thousand eyes
I called her my princess of the sand
She stared at me and my mind was in a maze
As we moved along in a summer sea-dream haze
She moved her mouth but there came no sound
The message she brought can never be found
But I called her my princess of the sand
One moment we walked with the night breeze in our face
Then I looked, she'd gone of her presence, there was no trace
Where she went or came from who can know
Or if she'll ever return to help me know
Who she is, my princess of the sand
Sometime when the summer nights come back
I'll go back to the sea, follow that sandy track
I'll look around, hope to find
That strange young dream, close behind
As he sat down upon the train
Silence settled in his brain
He reached out his hand
And touched her hair
He struggled with the
Same old though
Should he tell her
Should he not
He felt her presence
Everywhere
Whatever comes between us
Don't let it stand in your way
This is what he'd come
Here to say
She just smiled
And read a book
Gave him such a
Gentle look
He felt a pain right
Through his chest
He pictured back to
When they met
Open door on a movie set
Her brown eyes took
His breath
And every word she
Spoke to him
Went like a bullet to his
Heart
That's what he remembers
From the start
Now they're off
Searching in vain
Out of control
Just like a runaway train
Can't see that it's
Not up to them
Soon just like a river
They'll be rack home again
He sat up through
The hours it takes
Passing through the
Northern lakes
Til the sleeping giant was in his sight
He knew that she'd been drifting some
Wondered where his
Faith had gone
He stayed awake most
Of the night
Whatever makes you happy
I won't stand in your way
Words you hope you never
Have to say
Now they're off
Searching in vain
Out of control
Just like a runaway train
Can't see that it's
Not up to them
Soon just like a river
They'll be rack home again
She watched him toss
And try to sleep
Struggle with his
Demons deep
She thought of all
That they'd been through
Imagining her life alone
No where he was
That was home
She wondered if he knew
That every word
He spoke to her
Went like a bullet
To her heart
That's the way it's
Been right from
The start
Now they're off
Searching in vain
Out of control
Just like a runaway train
Can't see that it's
Not up to them
Soon just like a river
You can say the sun is shining if you really want to
I can see the moon and it seems so clear
You can take the road that takes you to the stars now
I can take a road that'll see me through
I can take a road that'll see me through
You can take a road that takes you to the stars now
I can take a road that'll see me through
I can take a road that'll see me through
Betty came by on her way
Said she had a word to say
About things today and fallen leaves
Said she hadn't heard the news
Hadn't had the time to choose
A way to lose but she believes
Gonna see the river man
Gonna tell him all I can
About the plan for lilac time
If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
And all night shows in summertime
Betty said she prayed today
For the sky to blow away
Or maybe stay she wasn't sure
For when she thought of summer rain
Calling for her mind again
She lost the pain and stayed for more
Gonna see the river man
Gonna tell him all I can
About the ban on feeling free
If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
I don't suppose it's meant for me
Oh, how they come and go
Fame is but a fruit tree, so very unsound
It can never flourish, till its stalk is in the ground
So men of fame, can never find a way
Till time has flown far from their dying day
Forgotten while you're here, remembered for a while
A much updated ruin from a much outdated style
Life is but a memory, happened long ago
Theater full of sadness, for a long forgotten show
Seems so easy, just to let it go on by
Till you stop and wonder, why you never wondered why
Safe in the womb of an everlasting night
You find the darkness can give the brightest light
Safe in your place deep in the earth
That's when they'll know what you were really worth
Forgotten while you're here, remembered for a while
A much updated ruin from a much outdated style
Fame is but a fruit tree, so very unsound
It can never flourish, till its stalk is in the ground
So men of fame, can never find a way
Till time has flown far from their dying day
Fruit tree, fruit tree, no-one knows you but the rain and the air
Don't you worry, they'll stand and stare when you're gone
Fruit tree, fruit tree, open your eyes to another year
Please give me a second grace
Please give me a second face
I've fallen far down the first time around
Now I just sit on the ground in your way
Now if it's time for recompense for what's done
Come, come sit down on the fence in the sun
And the clouds will roll by and we'll never deny
It's really too hard for to fly
Please tell me your second name
Please play me your second game
I've fallen so far for the people you are
I just need your star for a day
So come, come ride in my street-car by the bay
For now I must know how fine you are in your way
And the sea sure as I but she won't need to cry
As we drove on through the Finger Lakes
Water shining at our side
I was wrestling the demons in my mind
But it seemed to me you were reaching for
Some places we'd never been
Where we'd leave the past
On some dark road behind
I will always come
If you need me
And I will never forget
The things you said
And in my hour of darkness
You will come to me
And I will raise up
My worried head
There's a line between what might have been
And where we stand today
There are roads we both know
We can never cross
But a voice comes down from history
And whispers in my ear
Don't waste the time
The time that isn't lost
I will always come
If you need me
And I will never forget
The things you said
And in my hour of darkness
You will come to me
And I will raise up
My worried head
I have walked by so many rooms
And watched you brooding in the dark
I spent my youth moving round you
Like a ghost
But the years go by
And the reasons die
That kept us far apart
Now the sun coming up each day's
What we need most
I will always come
If you need me
And I will never forget
The things you said
And in my hour of darkness
You will come to me
And I will raise up
If you see some picture of us
Lying on the bed
Some old memory haunts you
Gets stuck inside your head
Don't get angry about it
And wish we'd never been
Don't get roped into a corner
And try changing everything
Don't get paralyzed with fear
And stand there wondering
What to do
Just forget it girl
And I will too
If you're on our corner
And you run into our friends
If they ask about me
Start wondering where I am
Don't get angry about it
Feel like you're caving in
Don't start crying again
And go and tell them everything
Don't you walk away believing
You will never make it through
Just forget it girl
And I will too
If some rainy afternoon
You're crying in your bed
Cursing every detail
Bout the day that we first met
Don't get angry about it
Start throwing everything
Don't get struck dumb in your steps
Each time you hear the doorbell ring
Take some comfort in knowing
These are things that I will do
I can't forget it girl
Though I try to
I can't forget it girl
Bird flew by
And wondered, wondered why
She was wise
And ought to stay up in the sky
From the air she could wonder
For the reason
What's the point of a year
Or a season?
Your life flies away
As the night turns to day
If you start once to think
Your hair will soon turn grey
But one would like to wonder
For the reason
What's the point of a year
Or a season?
The list of fallen stars
He crumbled, broken hearts
Comes from a need
To play so many parts
But one would like to wonder
For the reason
What's the point of a year
Or a season?
The wind and the rain
Shook hands again
Untouched by the world
They managed to stay sane
They were able to wonder
For the reason
What's the point of a year
Or a season?
Bird flew by
And wondered, wondered why
She was wise
And ought to stay up in the sky
From the air she could wonder
For the reason
What's the point of a year
A city freeze, get on your knees
Pray for warmth and green paper
A city drought, you're down and out
See your trousers don't taper
Saddle up, kick your feet
Ride the range of a London street
Travel to a local plane
Turn around and come back again
And at the chime of the city clock
Put up your road block, hang on to your crown
For a stone in a tin can
Is wealth to the city man who leaves his armor down
Stay indoors, beneath the floors
Talk with neighbors only
The games you play, make people say
You're either weird or lonely
A city star, won't shine too far
On account of the way you are
And the beads around your face
Make you sure to fit back in place
And at the beat of the city drum
See how your friends come in twos or threes or more
For the sound of a busy place is fine for a pretty face
Who knows what a face is for
The city clown will soon fall down
Without a face to hide in
And he will lose if he won't choose
The one he may confide in
Sonny boy, with smokes for sale
Went to ground with a face so pale
And never heard about the change
Showed his hand and fell out of range
In the light of a city square
Find out the face that's fair, keep it by your side
When the light of the city falls
You fly to the city walls, take off with your bride
But at the chime of a city clock
Put up your road block, hang on to your crown
For a stone in a tin can
