We can make it, I know we can
Only time will tell
Let's take a walk down to the water
Let's go the well
Hear that low humming underground
Hear that skylark in the dell
The wild world is speaking
Let's go to the well
Hear that low humming underground
Hear that skylark in the dell
The wild world is speaking
Let's go to the well
my home has been a warrior field
where now and then I've seen
a rainbow rising over the graves
down in the gentle green
and as I waltzed across the mine
time sped to breathlessly
as I fought for love
and I sang for love
too late, love comes to me
I saw you coming over the hill
So strong, so brave, so true
I fell down to my knees and cried
The way I used to do
It came at such surprise to me
I thought those tears had passed
Is it god who laughs this heart awake?
Too late, love comes at last
O lovers how they come and go
Like waves upon the shore
Brave hearts can drown in the briny deep
And still cry out for more
My treasure's in the water now
My pearls are lost at sea
And my heart must bend like a rainbow

Written by : Henry Gaffney & Gregory Abbott
all your life love's hurt you
turned you out then burnt you
held you high off the ground
you touched the moon
then it dropped you down
I know your heart's been broken
trust don't come so easily
it takes time, that's all right
just let me heal your heart tonight
I will rock you gently
I will be there when the night comes down
I will rock you so gently
I'm gonna rock you gently
I will be there when the morning comes
I will rock you, rock you
late at night they haunt you
lovers' voices point you
back in time, wide awake
you curse the moon 'til the morning breaks
I know that lonely feeling
we are two hearts still healing
hurry here, hurry now
please come to me
let me show you how
I will rock you gently
I will be there when the night comes down
I will rock you so gently
I'm gonna rock you gently
I will be there when the morning comes
I will rock you, rock you
little by little, day by day
all through the night into the day
I'll be your lover, I'll be your friend
I had a dream, woke up shaking
The moon breaking through the tress
And in the stillness of the evening
I heard a rustling in the leaves
And I saw a panther in the yard
Moving slow across the ledge
With silver eyes and a cool regard
And hunger with a cutting edge
Open the door, let it in
This mystery you found
It's all yours now
Come lay the panther down
So I called the eagle and the raven said
My prayer to the sky with the moon as my witness
I looked the panther in the eye and beheld
His violent beauty
That cut so deep and hard
Through my civilized indifference
And reckless disregard
So I open the door and let it in
This mystery I found is all mine now
come on over my sporting frend
bring your favorite weapon
show me how you make your mark
from the whistle in the wind
through the center of the heart
the moon is full, the night is clear
hunting season is drawing near
show me how you claim your ground
pull the arrow back, take one down
maybe tonight
maybe you'll show
waht you feel behind your bow
and maybe I'll go hunting too
down in the valley with you
I wonder where you hide your heart
I wait for signals in the dark
my aim is pretty good
I'm as quiet as a deer in the wood
close your eyes, count to ten
you never know you never know
you never know when you never know
so bring this famous trick you do
bring your arrow, bring your gun
and bring the ache that burns right through
gonna find out who is the hunted one
I found my loco girl again.
Though still no word for where she's been.
I sensed the memory on her skin
Like broken glass had broken it
And I in exile recognized a friend.
These chains grow stronger every year.
Will she defect or disappear?
This world can't hold her in its sway.
Maybe she'll take me there some day
When I find my loco girl again.
(When I find my loco girl again)
This world can't hold her in its sway.
Maybe she'll take me there some day.
When I find my loco girl again, Oh
When I find my loco girl again
When I find my....
Living now, here but for fortune
Placed by fate's mysterious schemes
Who'd believe that we're the ones asked
To try to rekindle the patriot's dream
Arise sweet destiny, time runs short
All of your patience has heard their retort
Hear us now, for alone we can't seem
To try to rekindle the patriot's dream
Can you hear the words being whispered
All along the American stream
Tyrants freed, the just are imprisoned
To try to rekindle the patriot's dream
Ah but perhaps too much
Is being asked of too few
You and your children with nothing to do
Hear us now, for alone we can't seem
The moment we said good bye
Silence tore across the sky
The riverbed by wide and dry
As far as I could see
And someone said
My ghost was found
Laying her burden down
Taking the long way around
Underneath the moonâ?¦
Somewhere on the prairie,
A little cross in mine
A simple wooden marker
With a plastic rose is entwined
And in the stillness of the twilight
As the tumbleweeds wind
I am crawling like a scorpion
Across the melancholy time
So shred the poems
Let the wild birds chase them in the breeze
Let them make their nests
From words like â? pleaseâ?
Put those dreams to rest
Throw them at the moon
Blow the confetti across
The golden west
I was the fragrance in the wild flower
Opening for only you
In the delicate hour
Before the cold shot through
Ten thousand years from now
You'll put your hand in mine
Remembering a fragrance
Full of melancholy time
You see those ravens breaking the prairie sky?
We used to go where ravens fly
Our giddy laughter made the angels cry
To fly as free as you and i
Somewhere on the prairie
A cross, a rose, a shrine
Standing for true love
Gone before it's time
There goes your shadow down the highway
Out that road I could't fine
While I crawl like a scorpion
Slowly to the new word
Across these miles of prairie
Sun goes down on a silky day
Quarter moon walkin' thru the Milky Way
When it's me and you baby
We could think of somethin' to do
'Cause it's the right time of the night
Oh, the stars are winkin' above
Honey, it's the right time of the night
For makin' love
We'll go drinkin' in some heavy bar
I'll take you night ridin' in my chevy car
When it's me and you baby
We could think of somethin' to do
'Cause it's the right time of the night
Oh, the stars are winkin' above
Honey, it's the right time of the night
For makin' love
I got you and you got me
Tell you, that's the way my momma
Always said it should be
I'll be sweet and you'll be kind
We'll be bad, if you don't mind
It's the right time of the night
Oh, the stars are winkin' above
Honey, it's the right time of the night
For makin' love
it's raining so hard
looks like it's gonna rain all night
this is the time
I'd love to holding you tight
But I guess I'll have to accept
The fact that you're not here
I wish the night would hurry up and end,
My dear
It's raining so hard,
It's really coming down
Sitting by my window
Watching the rain fall to the ground
This is the time
I'd love to be holding you tight
But I guess I'll just go crazy tonight
It's raining so hard,
it brings back memories
of the time
when you were here with me
counting every drop
about to blow my top
I wish the rain would hurry up and stop
I've got the blues so bad
I can hardly catch my breath
The harder it rains
The worse, the worse it gets
This is the time
I'd love to be holding you tight
But I guess I'll just go crazy tonight
Maybe I'm still hurting
I can't turn the other cheek
But you know that I still love you
It's just that I can't speak
I looked for you in everyone
And they called me on that too
I lived alone but I was only
Coming back to you
They're shutting down the factory now
Just when all the bills are due
And the fields are under lock and key
Tho' the rain and the sun come through
And springtime starts but then it stops
In the name of something new
And all the senses rise against this
Coming back to you
And they're handing down my sentence now
I know what I must do
Another mile of silence while I'm
Coming back to you
There are many in your life
Many still to be
Since you are a shining light
There's many that you'll see
So I got a deal with envy
When you choose the precious few
Who've left their pride on the other side of
Coming back to you
Even in your arms I know
I'll never get it right
Even when you bend to give me
Comfort in the night
So I've got to have your word on this
Or none of it is true
And all I've said was just instead of
Now the courtroom is quiet but who will confess
Is it true you betrayed us? The answer is, yes
Then read me the list of the crimes that are mine
I will ask for the mercy that you love to decline
And all the ladies go moist and the judge has no choice
A singer must die for the lie in his voice
And I thank you, I thank you for doing your duty
You keepers of truth, you guardians of beauty
Your vision was right, my vision was wrong
I'm sorry for smudging the air with my song
Oh, the night it is thick, my defences are hid
In the clothes of a man I would like to forgive
In the furs of his leather, the shade of his eyes
Where I have to go begging in beauty's disguise
Oh, good night, good night, my night after night
My night after night, after night, after night, after night, after night
So save me a place in the ten-dollar grave
With those who took money for the pleasure we gave
With those always ready, with those who are dressed
So you could lay down with your head on their breast, yes
And the ladies gone moist, and the judge has no choice
Way down, way way down
Way way down deep
You've got me way down, way way down
Way way down deep
You're got me way down, way down deep
I wander with you in my sleep
I'm way down, way way down
Way way down deep
It came to me this morning
I was walking down the street
Was like my soul could taste you
And God, you tasted sweet
Finally I can breathe again
Finally I can speak
I've got you in the glory place
I've got you way down deep
I've got you way down, way way down
Way way down deep
You're got me way down, way way down
Way way down deep
You're got me way down, way way down
I wander with you in my sleep
I'm way down, way way down
Way way down deep
It's a funny feeling
But I cannot say I mind
I know that I'm dealing with
A love that's far from blind
I see every single angle
I look before I leap
And how else can I put it
When you're got me way down deep
You've got me way down, way way down
Way way down deep
You've got me way down, way way down
Way way down deep
You've got me way down, way down deep
I wander with you in my sleep
I'm way down, way way down
Way way down deep
Don't matter what we gave away
Was nothing we could keep
Don't matter what we gave away
You know that talk is cheap
Forgive me if I hate you
You're a liar and a thief
But I've got you in the glory place
I got you way down deep
You've got me way down, way way down
Way way down deep
You've got me way down, way way down
Way way down deep
You've got me way down, way down deep
I wander with you in my sleep
I'm way down, way way down
Way way down deep
Don't matter if the road is long
Don't matter if it's steep
Don't matter if the moon goes out
And darkness is complete
Don't matter if we lose our way
I know we're gonna meet
I've got you in the glory place
I've got you way down deep
You've got me way down, way way down
Way way down deep
You've got me way down, way way down
Way way down deep
You've got me way down, way down deep
I wander with you in my sleep
I'm way down, way way down
Today I am your chariot horse
Tomorrow I'm your albatross
Suspended by the finest thread
No one could ever see
And when there's breathing in your ear
You put your faith in all you hear
But just how deep those feelings go
I have no way to know, I'll never know
And if I was blind
Would you still be my eyes?
Or hide everything you see
Pretending to care about me
When all the time
You're just wishing I'd fade away
You just can't bring yourself to
Say out loud the reasons why
You won't admit you realize
The promise you've been living by
Is just an empty shell
You'll come to bear it like a cross
And then start to tear it like frayed gauze
Though I'm ashamed to be afraid
I just can't help myself, can't help myself
And if I was blind
Would you still be my eyes
Or hide everything you see?
Pretending to care about me
When all the time
You're just wishing I'd fade away
You can't bring yourself to care about me
Please don't let me down
Why don't you care? Why don't you care about me?
'Cause I know all the time you're just wishing I'd fade away
Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc
As she came riding through the dark
No moon to keep her armor bright
No man to get her through this dark and smoky night
She said, "I'm tired of the war
I want the kind of work I had before
A wedding dress or something white
To wear upon my swollen appetite"
"Well, I'm glad to hear you talk this way
You know, I've watched you riding everyday
And something in me yearns to win
Such a cold and lonesome heroine"
"And who are you?", she sternly spoke
To the one beneath the smoke
"Why, I'm fire", he replied
"And I love your solitude, I love your pride"
"Well, then fire, make your body cold
I'm gonna give you mine to hold"
And saying this she climbed inside
To be his one, to be his only bride
Then deep into his fiery heart
He took the dust of Joan of Arc
And high above all these wedding guests
He hung the ashes of her lovely wedding dress
It was deep into his fiery heart
He took the dust of Joan of Arc
And then she clearly understood
If he was fire, oh she must be wood
I saw her wince, I saw her cry
I saw the glory in her eye
Myself I long for love and light
But must it come so cruel, must it be so brave?
Must be a million boys living in this great big city
I know that one of them is just right for me
I've looked uptown, downtown, all around searchin'
I know he's out there waiting for me
I know somewhere, somebody, lookin', longin'
Somewhere, somebody, waitin' for me
Somewhere, somebody, searchin', prayin'
Tell me where in the world
You know the street lights shine in passin' faces
I'm just tryin' to catch somebody's eye
But all the should'a beens, the would'a beens
The might'a beens and the could'a beens
Slippin' away and just walk right on by
Somewhere, somebody, lookin', longin'
Somewhere, somebody, waitin' for me
Somewhere, somebody, searchin', prayin'
Tell me where in the world
I walk in the rain that's fallin'
A voice in the distance callin', why
I run to the empty doorway waitin' for the sun to shine
When will love be mine
I know that somewhere, somebody, lookin', longin'
Somewhere, somebody, waitin' for me
Somewhere, somebody, searchin', prayin'
Tell me where in the world
Must be a million boys living in this great big city
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
For trying to change the system from within
I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
I'm guided by the birthmark on my skin
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'd really like to live beside you, baby
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
But you see that line that's moving through the station?
I told you, I told you, I told you, I was one of those
Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win
You know the way to stop me, but you don't have the discipline
How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I don't like your fashion business mister
And I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
I don't like what happened to my sister
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
Then we take Berlin,then we take Berlin
I pictured a rainbow, you held it in your hands
I had flashes but you saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room, I saw the crescent, yeah
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon
You were there in the turnstiles
With the wind at your heels
Just stretched for the stars
And you know how it feels
To reach too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
Now it's ground while you filled the skies
I was dumb founded by truth, you cut through lies
I saw the rain dirty valley, oh, you saw Brigadoon, I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
Yeah
I spoke about wings, you just flew
Well I wondered, I guessed and I tried, you just knew what I sighed
But you swooned, I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon, the whole of the moon
The torch in your pocket
The wind on your heels
You climbed on a ladder
And you know how it feels
To reach too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon, whole of the moon
Unicorns and cannon balls, palaces and piers
Trumpets, towers, and tenaments, wide oceans full of tears
Flags, rags, ferryboats, scimitar's and scarves
Every precious dream and vision underneath the stars
Yeah, you climbed on the ladder
With the wind in your sails
You came like a comet
Blazing your trail
Too high
Oh, too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon, whole of the moon, yeah
Yesterday, I thought that I walked alone
And that love was just a memory
But a nightingale followed me back home
Where my love was waiting there for me
I have lost my faith as lovers often do
When the storm clouds gather overhead
But a nightingale sang a note so true
That I knew I?d lost my fear instead
And to think that I said,"Love was for fools"
And that time would never heal
These old wounds
But the nightingale saved a prayer for me
In the twilight, he played a faithful true
I have heard the lark over the vale
And I?ve heard the lonesome whippoorwill
But the sweetest song is the nightingale?s
And I know I?ll never get my fill
And to think that I said,"Love for fools"
And that time would never heal these old wounds
But the nightingale saved a prayer for me
Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Cos I've had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you
I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone who’ll stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise secretly
So we take each other's hand
Cos we seem to understand the urgency
Just remember
You're the one thing I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love, because
I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you, hey baby
With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control
Yes I know what's on your mind when you say
Stay with me tonight
Just remember
You're the one thing I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love, because
I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Cos I've had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Til I found the truth
And I owe it all to you
Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Cos I've had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Til I found the truth
Look at who the wind's blowin' up the road
Shining like a Northern Star
Actin' like the answers to all my prayers
But, baby, I know what you really are
So don't you knock on my door, I won't be home anymore
You can find me out walking in the sun
Oh, you hide it so well, it isn't easy to tell
But I know a heartache when I see one
There was a time, I was a true believer
Your love was the only way
Well, you can save all your sweet talkin' for some other fool
Only a fool would believe what you say
So don't you knock on my door, I won't be home anymore
You can find me out walking in the sun
Oh, you hide it so well, it isn't easy to tell
But I know a heartache when I see one
Time is a teacher, oh, and it's taught me well
The loser is the one who cries
And when you've cried like a baby and you've hurt like Hell
You know the Devil by the look in his eyes
So don't you knock on my door, I won't be home anymore
You can find me out walking in the sun
Oh, you hide it so well, it isn't easy to tell
But I know a heartache when I see one
No, don't you knock on my door, I won't be home anymore
You can find me out walking in the sun
Oh, you hide it so well, it isn't easy to tell
But I know a heartache when I see one
It's four in the morning, the end of December
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
New York is cold but I like where I'm living
There's music on Clinton street all through the evening
I hear that you're building your little house
Deep in the desert
You're living for nothing now
I hope you're keeping some kind of record
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?
Ah, the last time we saw you, you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without Lili Marlene
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody's wife
Well, I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well, I see Jane's awake, she sends her regards
And what can I tell you, my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way
If you ever come by here for Jane or for me
Well, your enemy is sleeping and his woman is free
Yes, and thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good, so I never tried
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Jennifer Warnes & Bill Medley
Sun goes down on a silky day
Quarter moon walking through the Milky Way
Oh you and me baby
We could think of something to do
It's the right time of the night
The stars are winking above
It's the right time of the night
For making love
No use talking when the shadows fall
Night bird’s calling and he says it all
You and me baby
We could think of something to do, ooh
It's the right time of the night
The stars are winking above
It's the right time of the night
For making love
I got you, you got me
Tell you, that's the way my momma always said it should be
I’ll be good, you'll be kind
We'll be bad if you don't mind
It's the right time of the night
The stars are winking above
It's the right time of the night
For making love
It's the right time of the night
The stars are winking above
It's the right time of the night
For making love
It's the right time of the night
The stars are winking above
It's the right time of the night
Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world, few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it's real, I keep it alive
The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world below
Up where the clear winds blow
Some hang on to used to be
Live their lives, looking behind
All we have is here and now
All our life, out there to find
The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb them a step every day
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world below
We know, up where the clear winds blow
Time goes by, no time to cry
Life's you and I, a live today
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world
There was a child named Bernadette
I heard the story long ago
She saw the queen of heaven once
And kept the vision in her soul
No one believed what she had seen
No one believed what she heard
That there were sorrows to be healed
And mercy, mercy in this world
So many hearts I find
Broke like yours and mine
Torn by what we've done and can't undo
I just wanna hold you
Come on, let me hold you
Like Bernadette would do
We've been around, we fall, we fly
We mostly fall, we mostly run
And every now and then we try
To mend the damage that we've done
Tonight, tonight, I just can't rest
I've got this joy here, here inside my breast
To think that I did not forget
That child, that song of Bernadette
So many hearts I find
Hearts like yours and mine
Torn by what we've done and can't undo
Well, I just wanna hold you
Come on, let me hold you
Like Bernadette would do
I just wanna hold you
Won't you let me hold you
Jennifer Warnes & Gary Morris
Well I never knew so much trouble til I met you
Never sang in so much rain
But whenever I drown in your sweet dreams
It always brings me pain
Though I come back
Knowing that I’ll find love again
Mmm, I must be blind to love you, girl, but I don’t wanna see
If seeing means believing love is lost to you and me
Don’t ever let them tell you that there’s no mystery
Love can’t be explained, it’s simply meant to be
Well I never knew so many people
Who look and don’t find love
So they beg and they borrow and steal
I’ll take half of the joy, twice the sorrow
If I know love is real
Just don’t say that you won’t be back
Cos I know you will, I know you will
I must be blind to love you but I don’t wanna see
If seeing means believing love is lost to you and me
Don’t ever let them tell you that there’s no mystery
Love can’t be explained, it’s simply meant to be
Oh, this love is a mystery
Love is a mystery
Can’t explain, can’t change
I guess it was meant to be
Ooh, I must be blind to love you but I don’t wanna see
If seeing means believing love is lost to you and me
Don’t ever let them tell you that there’s no mystery
Love can’t be explained, it’s simply meant to be
Oh, I must be blind to love you but I don’t wanna see
If seeing means believing love is lost to you and me
Don’t ever let them tell you that there’s no mystery
Watching all the fishing boats coming
Lying back in the warm, soft sand
Seeing you with the sun in your eyes
Looking 'round with the wind in my hair
Easing down without a care
Touching you under sweet summer skies
There's a place I can go to any time
I feel myself unwind
And oh, the feeling's fine
I'm dreaming of a time beyond today
When you turn to me and say
?You'll always feel this way?
I'm dreaming of a sun that never sets
Of a life without regrets
In a world that lets its lovers' dreams come true
Taking time to talk to each other
Finding out who we really are
Being happy, being here with you
Feeling sure that the feeling will last
Even when this dream is past
We will see our love come shining through
I'm dreaming of a time beyond today
When you turn to me and say
?You'll always feel this way?
I'm dreaming of a time beyond today
When you turn to me and say
?You'll always feel this way?
I'm dreaming of a sun that never sets
Of a life without regrets
In a world that lets its lovers' dreams come true
Dreaming of a time beyond today
When you turn to me and say
?You'll always feel this way?
I'm dreaming of a sun that never sets
Of a life without regrets
Jennifer Warnes & Joe Cocker
My love, there's only you in my life
The only thing that's right
My first love, you're every breath that I take
You're every step I make
And I, I want to share all my love with you
No one else will do
And your eyes they tell me how much you care
Oh yes, you will always be my endless love
Two hearts, two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun
Forever I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms
And love, I'll be a fool for you
I'm sure, you know I don't mind
Cos you, you mean the world to me, oh
I know I've found in you my endless love
And love I'll be that fool for you
I'm sure you know I don't mind
And yes, you'll be the only one
Cos no-one can deny this love I have inside
And I'll give it all to you
Jennifer Warnes & BJ Thomas
Show me that smile again
Don’t waste another minute on your crying
We know we’re near the end
The best is ready to begin
Oh on a cloudy day
I look into your eyes and see it shining
Holding you close this way
Is like having summer every day
As long as we’ve got each other
We got the world spinning right in our hands
Baby you and me, we gotta be
The luckiest dreamers who know what we’re dreaming
As long as we keep on giving
We can take anything that comes our way
Baby rain or shine, all the time
We got each other sharing the laughter and love
Promise me here and now
Never a … … will ever come between us
You can depend on me
Cos I need you like the air I breathe
As long as we’ve got each other
We got the world spinning right in our hands
Baby you and me, we gotta be
The luckiest dreamers who know what we’re dreaming
As long as we keep on giving
We can take anything that comes our way
Baby rain or shine, all the time
We got each other sharing the laughter and love
As long as we’ve got each other
We got the world spinning right in our hands
Baby you and me, we gotta be
The luckiest dreamers who know what we’re dreaming
As long as we keep on giving
We can take anything that comes our way
Baby rain or shine, all the time
I’ve loved you for a long, long time
I know this love is real
Don’t matter how it all went wrong
That don’t change the way I feel
I don’t believe that time can heal
This wound I’m speaking of
Oh, there ain’t no cure, ain’t no cure
There ain’t no cure for love
I’m aching for you baby
I can’t pretend I’m not
I love to see you naked
In your body and your thoughts
I’ve got you like a habit
Oh, I’ll never get enough
Oh, there ain’t no cure, ain’t no cure
Ain’t no cure for love
There ain’t no cure for love
There ain’t no cure for love
No pill, no drug
It’s all been cut with stone
I can’t get nothing done
Can’t be with anyone
I don’t want your brother love
I want that other love
Ain’t no cure for love
I don’t expect a medal
Just because the scene got rough
And I’ve seen you’ve been so careful
To forget how good it was
I’m never giving in
Oh, I’m never giving up, babe
There ain’t no cure
Oh, there ain’t no cure for love
There ain’t no cure for love
There ain’t no cure for love
No pill, no drug, no, no
Ain’t nothing pure enough
I can’t get nothing done, no, no
I can’t be with anyone
Oh, there ain’t no cure
We can make it, I know we can
Only time will tell
Let's take a walk down to the water
Let's go the well
You hear that low humming underground
Hear the skylark in the dell
The wild world is speaking
Let's go to the well
Sometimes my heart feels like a dandelion
Seeds scattered in a careless wind
And nothing to show for my life and time but
Innocent wonder in the face of thunder
Feeling like something is about begin
Let's build a bonfire
For the stories we tell
Of wild years, the wasted tears
Ant he silent way they fell
See the curls of smoke rising up
To the big old sky as the moonlight falls
down over those distant hiss
I don't want to be anywhere else anymore
let's go to the well
you better believe my faith in you
it is wide and steady as a Texas moon
and when this stuff starts rolling through
its as all innocent wonder in the face of thunder
feeling like something is coming soon
We can make it, I know we can
Only time will tell
Let's take a walk down to the water
Let's go the well
... and let's go down to those hills through the
trees across the rocky path – down to the Blanco river – come with me darling, the sky is a so big today—my heart's so full—
saw your face in a dream again
and there's no word for what I was feeling
so deep and wide
I can't hide it any longer
who let this phantom in
who will tame this nameless feeling
I'd like to hide
but I can no longer
you're the ghost who keeps on calling
I bar the door, you breeze right through
all my old fences are falling
I don't know what's true
but I'm glad to see you
and to feel you near again
so strong, so warm and tormenting
ain't nothin' died baby
it just grows stronger
you're the ghost who keeps on calling
I bar the door, you breeze right through
all my old fences are falling
*as I reach for you
*what do I hold on to
*saw your face in a dream again
hello, hello my lost companion
come on inside
I will hide no longer
no, no, I can hide no longer
Where did summer go
How'd I miss the change of season
All at once the wind blows rough
It's cold enough to snow
In the street below
People laugh, they've got no reason
Don't they know
It's cold enough to snow
When we were together
And you were staying
Funny but the weather
Still felt like May in mid December
Now the chill wind blows
Sunny skies are only teasing
You won't show
And it's cold enough to snow

On the radio
There's a man says
It ain't freezing
What's he know
He didn't watch you go
Now the sun can't shine
If it wants to, fine
one summer night he'll light a lantern
he'll catch a tiny firefly in a jar
set her dancing on the mantle
like a piece of star
see how the boy lays low
he wants the shiver in her wing
see him hiding in the willow
playing with lightning
you don't know me
I don't know you
and the summer's come again
my oh my, the sparks are flyin'
all over Lousianne
there's lots of fishes in the sea
I swear I'm gonna catch one in my hand
make him dance for me
in the fryin' pan
you don't know me
I don't know you
and the summer's come again
my oh my, the fish are flyin'
all over Lousianne
in your eyes there's a light
it comes and it goes without a sound
if I hold on tight
it's gonna burn me to the ground
you don't know me
I don't know you
and the summer's come again
my oh my, the sparks are flyin'
all over Lousianne
our lives go by like sparks are flyin'
Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a fish on a hook
Like a knight from an old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
If I have been unkind
I hope that you could just let it go by
And if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you, no, no
Like a baby, stillborn
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me
But I swear by this song
By all I have done wrong
I'll make it all up to you, yes, I will
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
He called out to me, "Don't ask for so much"
And a young man leaning on his darkened door
He cried out to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
(l. cohen & j. lissauer)
I came so far for beauty
I left so much behind
My patience and my family
My masterpiece unsigned
I thought I'd be rewarded
For such a lonely choice
And maybe he would answer
To such a hopeless voice
I practiced all my sainthood
I gave to one and all
But the rumours of my virtue
They moved him not at all
I changed my style to silver
I changed my clothes to black
And where I would surrender
Now I would attack
I stormed the old casino
For the money and for the flesh
And I myself decided
What was rotten, what was fresh
And men to do my bidding
And broken bones to teach
The value of my pardon
The shadow of my reach
But no, I could not touch him
With such a heavy hand
His star beyond my order
His nakedness unmanned
I came so far for beauty
I left so much behind
My patience and my family
It's Saturday evening, the breeze is so cool
I feel a shiver inside of my dress
there is so many things
they don't teach you in school
some lessions are tougher than all of the rest
a big moon shines over the edge of the sea
on the prettiest night if there ever was one
but there ain't no moonlight inside of me
now that you are so thoroughly gone
if I could only hear your true emotion
if I could feel your joy like I used to do
one little sign, I'd swim an ocean
if I could just find you
remember the river, so wild and free
that sprung from your fingers so easily
filling the hollow that swallows the rain
and carrying you home to the ocean again
now there ain't nothin', it's dry as a bone
everyone knows you ain't comin' home
it's more than your brothers
and sisters can bear
do you hear us all crying and sighing
and calling and calling
too many nights walking the floor in sadness
someone lied about a happy ending
too many dreams all broken now
god has spoken
and we still need you
if I could only hear your true emotion
if I could feel your joy like I used to do
whole lotta love here and deep devotion
if I could only find ...
if I could only hear your true emotion
one little sign, I'd swim an ocean
if I could just find ...
if I could only hear your true emotion
if I could feel your joy like I used to
There are words to say but i swear i just can't find them
Though in my heart i know fools
May hesitate from the memories behind them
While the angels laugh and say, i told you so
Oh, i'm restless, darling i'm restless
Waiting for you to look my way
I don't think that i can wait another day
I cry when the feeling overtakes me
'cos the love i give seems so little in your eyes
The test of time always breaks me
With nothing tried, and nothing realised
Oh, i'm restless, darling i'm restless
Waiting for you to look my way
I don't think that i can wait another day
No man is an island but you do that very well
It sure takes a fool to find another
But i believe for every heart that's broken
There's a stranger's smile to put it on the mend, then
Those old familiar feelings seldom spoken
Out of nowhere come back again
And i'm restless, darling i'm restless
Waiting for you to look my way
I don't think that i..., the hour is getting late
We were walking in the sand I could feel your heart pound
A man and a woman, walking in the sundown
Maybe now I'll understand how you feel the way you do
We all have the same emotion, Baby I can feel it too
It's like the rocking of the ocean
The rolling of the sea
When the feeling comes around
When the feeling comes around
I have looked for love before
I was looking all around you
I'm not looking anymore
Now that I've found you, I've found you
When there's something deep inside
That tells me this is real
We're not just going through the motions this time
I know it's love we feel
Just like the rocking of the ocean
The rolling of the sea
When the feeling comes around
When the feeling comes around
It's like the rocking of the ocean
Like the rolling of the sea
When the feeling comes around
When the feeling comes around
It's like the rocking of the ocean
The rolling of the sea
When the feeling comes around
When the feeling comes around
La la la da la la la
La la la da la
Like the rocking of the ocean
The rolling of the sea
When the feeling comes around
When the feeling comes around
It's like the rocking of the ocean
The rolling of the sea
When the feeling comes around
Well it seems right
But I wonder
And it feels right
But I wonder
If I know how true loves feels
Well he shows me
But I wonder
He tells me
But I wonder
If he knows how true love feels
Is it all infactuation
(Or is it possibly real)
Is it heart ache's consulation
(Or is it possibly real)
Tell me again
(This could be just what you wanted so long)
Please tell me again
(This could be someone who has wants and needs of his own)
Well it seems right
(Could it be love)
But I wonder
(Could it be love)
And it feels right
Oh but I wonder
(Could it be love)
If we know how true love feels
Is it all infactuation
(Or is it possibly real)
Is it heart ache's consulation
(Or is it possibly real)
Tell me again
(This could be just what you wanted so long)
Please tell me again
(This could be someone who has wants and needs of his own)
Well it seems right but I wonder
It feels right but I wonder
If we know how true love feels
Well he shows me but I wonder
He tells me but I wonder
If we know how true love feels
Well it seems right but I wonder
Say a prayer for the cowgirl her horse ran away She'll walk till she finds him her darlin' her stray But the river's in flood and the roads are awash And the bridges break up in the panic of loss.
And there's nothin' to follow nowhere to go He's gone like the summer gone like the snow And the crickets are breaking her heart with their song As the day caves in and the night is all wrong.
Did she dream it was he who went galloping past And bent down the fern broke open the grass And printed the mud with the well hammered shoe That she nailed to his speed in the dreams of her youth.
And although he goes grazin' a minute away She tracks him all night she tracks him all day And she's behind to his presence except to compare Her injury here with his punishment there.
Then at home on a branch on a high stream A songbird sings out so suddenly And the sun is warm and the soft winds ride On a willow tree by the riverside.
Ah, the world is sweet and the world is wide He's there where the light and the darkness divide And the steam's comin' off him he's huge and he's shy And he steps on the moon when he paws at the sky.
And he comes to her hand but he's not really tame He longs to be lost she longs for the same And he'll bolt and he'll plunge through the first open pass To roll and to feed in the sweet mountain grass.
Or he'll make a break for the high plateau Where there's nothing above and nothing below It's time for their burden the whip and the spur Well she ride with him or will he ride with her.
So she binds herself to her galloping steed And he binds himself to the woman in need And there is no space just left and right And there is no time but there is day and night.
Then she leans on his neck and whispers low Whither thou goest I will go And they turn as one and the head for the plain No need for the whip oh no need for the rein.
Now the clasp of this union who fastens it tight Who snaps it asunder the very next night Some say it's him some say it's her Some say love's like smoke beyond all repair.
So my darlin', my darlin' just let it go by That old silhouette on the great western sky And I'll pick out a tune and they'll move right along And they're gone like smoke and they're gone like this song.
If you've found another guy Who satisfies you more than I do Run to him, I'll step aside
If you think his lips can kiss you Better than my lips can kiss you Run to him, forget my pride
If someone else's arms can hold you Better than my arms can hold you Go to him and show to him all your emotion
If someone else can make you Happier than I can make you Run to him, my tears will dry
If someone else's arms can hold you Better than my arms can hold you Go to him and show to him all your emotion
If someone else can make you Happier than I can make you Run to him, my tears will dry
Ain't no miracle bein' born
people doin' it everyday
ain't no miracle growin' old
people just roll that way
So it goes like it goes and the river flows
and time it rolls right on
and maybe what's good gets a little bit better
and maybe what's bad gets gone
Bless the child of the workin' man
she knows too soon who she is
and bless the hands of a workin' man
he knows his soul is his
So it goes like it goes and the river flows
and time it rolls right on
and maybe what's good gets a little bit better
and maybe what's bad gets gone
Yeh it goes like it goes like the river flows
and time keeps rollin' on
and maybe what's good gets a little bit better
Don't make me over
Now that I'd do
Anything for you
Don't make me over
Now that you know how
I adore you
Don't pick on the things
I say, the things I do
Just love me with all my faults
That way that I love you
I'm begging you
Don't make me over
Now that I can't
Make it without you
Don't make me over
I wouldn't change
One thing about you
Just take me inside your
Arms and hold me tight
And always be by my side
Wether I'm wrong or right
I'm begging you
Don't make me over
Don't make me over
Now that you've got me
At your command
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for all the
Things that I do
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for all the
Things that I do
(Now that I can't
Make it without you)
(I wouldn't change
One thing about you)
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for all the
Things that I do
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for all the
Things that I do
Accept me for what I am
If it be your will That I speak no more And my voice be still As it was before I will speak no more I shall abide until I am spoken for If it be your will If it be your will That a voice be true From this broken hill I will sing to you From this broken hill All your praises they shall ring If it be your will To let me sing From this broken hill All your praises they shall ring If it be your will To let me sing
If it be your will If there is a choice Let the rivers fill Let the hills rejoice Let your mercy spill On all these burning hearts in hell If it be your will To make us well
And draw us near And bind us tight All your children here In their rags of light In our rags of light All dressed to kill And end this night If it be your will
Yesterday, I thought that I walked alone
And that love was just a memory
But a nightingale followed me back home
Where my love was waiting there for me
I have lost my faith as lovers often do
When the storm clouds gather overhead
But a nightingale sang a note so true
That I knew I'd lost my fear instead
And to think that I said,"Love was for fools"
And that time would never heal
These old wounds
But the nightingale saved a prayer for me
In the twilight, he played a faithful true
I have heard the lark over the vale
And I've heard the lonesome whippoorwill
But the sweetest song is the nightingale's
And I know I'll never get my fill
And to think that I said,"Love for fools"
And that time would never heal these old wounds
But the nightingale saved a prayer for me
Well, she's up against the register
An apron and a spatula
With yesterday's deliveries
And tickets for bachelors
She's a moving violation
From her conk down to her shoes
But she's just an invitation to the blues
But you feel like cagney
And she looks like Rita Hayworth
At the counter of the Schwab's drugstore
You wonder if she might be single
She's a loner, likes to mingle
Got to be patience, try to pick up a clue
She says how you gonna like'em
Medium or scrambled?
Any way is the only way
Be careful not to gamble
On a guy with a suitcase
And a ticket getting out here
It's tired bus station
And an old pair of shoes
Ain't nothing but an invitation to the blues
But you can't take your eyes off her
Get another cup of java
And it's just the way she pours it for you
Joking with the customers
Oh mercy, Mr. Percy!
There ain't nothing back in jersey
But a broken down jalopy
Of a man i left behind
And a dream that i was chasing
A battle with booze
An open invitation to the blues
Ah, but she's had a sugar daddy
And a candy apple caddy
A bank account and everything
Accustomed to the finer things
He left her for a socialite
He didn't love her except at night
And then he's drunk
And never even told her that he cared
So she took the registration
Car keys and her shoes
Left with an invitation to the blues
Now there's continental trailways leaving
Local bus tonight, good evening
You can have my seat
I'm sticking round here for a while
Get a room at squire
The filling station's hiring
And I can cat here every night
What the hell have I got to lose
Got a crazy sensation
Go or stay, I gotta choose
(donald fagen, marcelle clemments)
Since you left me darling
The city doesn't feel right
On the street the music stopped
And the light seem half as bright
Without your love
This old town's no fun at all
Without your love
I only hear the loudest voices
The one's with something new to sell
And now it's all
Big talk, big name, big noise, new york
I walk from the river to west broadway
Every stranger spoke your name
Every sign read 'yesterday'
Without your love
This old town's no fun at all
Without your love
I only see the drifting shadows
Of the losers and the lost
And now it's all
Big talk, big name, big noise, new york
There was a time
When the night was just for dancing
Till the sun rose over the skyline
But now you're gone
And the fear of winter grows
Just a place where the money flows
And there never was a springtime
Another season begins fast and loud
It's supposed to be a party
But to me, it's just a crowd
Without your love
This old town's no fun at all
Without your love
I'm left with all the memories darling
Of words I thought were true
But it was all
Big talk, big name, big noise, new york
Well, it was all
You give your hand to me
And then you say hello
And I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me
No you don't know the one
Who dreams you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
To you I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
Well you don't know me
For I never knew
The art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy
I let my chance that you might love me too
You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
You'll never, never know
The one who loves you so
In every heart there is room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along
I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I fear I've said too much
My silence is my self defense
For every time I've held a rose
It seems only felt the thorn
And so it goes and it goes
And so will you soon, I suppose
But my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break
And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice ere mine to make
But can make decision, too
And you can have this heart to break
And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes and so it goes
And you're the only one
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
For trying to change the system from within
I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'd really like to live beside you, baby
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
But you see that line there moving through the station?
I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those
Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just
might win
You know the way to stop me, but you don't have the discipline
How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I don't like your fashion business mister
And I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
I don't like what happened to my sister
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'd really like to live beside you, baby ...
And I thank you for those items that you sent me
The monkey and the plywood violin
I practiced every night, now I'm ready
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I am guided
Ah remember me, I used to live for music
Remember me, I brought your groceries in
Well it's Father's Day and everybody's wounded
