I catch a paper boy
But things dont really change
Im standing in the rain
But I never wave bye-bye
But I try
There's no sign of life
Its just the power to charm
Still lying in the wind
But I never wave bye-bye
But I try, I try
Never gonna fall for
Walks beside me
Walks on by
Gets me to the church on time
Terrifies me
Makes me party
Puts my trust in God and man
No confessions
No religion
I don't believe in modern love
There's no sign of life
Its just the power to charm
Still standing in the rain
But I never wave bye-bye
But I try, I try
Never gonna fall for
Walks beside me
Walks on by
Gets me to the church on time
Terrifies me
Makes me party
Puts my trust in God and man
No confessions
No religion
I don't believe in modern love
Modern love, modern love, modern love, modern love,
I am the worst addict
I suffer many thrills
That always leave
A mark in me
This highway's never ending
It bring you to your knees
But no one's love is like it is
You've got no one above you
And so they say you're free
But that's not all that bothers me
I have never said a word about it
But never stopped believing don't you know
I haven't been around for you my darling
Surely memories won't guide you home
Somewhere in this desert
I will find my peace
I don't know how long it will be
My shell just keeps on breaking
Inside I long to see
The pearl that shows you what is real
Many people gathered from side to side
But that's not all that's on my mind
I have never said a word about it
But never stopped believing don't you know
I haven't been around for you my darling
Days of hunger,
won't you buy them for me?
In my comfort I'm too easy and please
and those strangers, can burst in sigh through the breeze
Days of hunger,
won't you let 'em be free?
'cus we need them
to sing a sad memory
In my heart now
is where I want you to be
Fallen leaves have left the trees
And it's naked for all to see
how I wish that I could be...
oh don't worry
don't you worry for me
one bright morning
so together we'll be,
as my hunger sends my boat to the sea.
Fallen leaves have left the trees
And it's naked for all to see
how I wish that I could be...
Fallen leaves have left the trees
And it's naked for all to see
how I wish that I could be...
Days of hunger,
Near the dam there's an oak tree
Not too far from our land
There I saw my love
Her naked skin shone forever
Her voice it whispered his name
In his arms she fell
I hid myself in the distance
And took some comfort in them
And in my staring I wondered if
To reach her love I still can
For a while I sat and watched them
'til boredom conquered my mind
In the setting sun
I grabbed a rock hard and solid
Thought of giving some hell
As the evening dwelled
Made my way toward the oak tree
And hit the man 'til he was dead
And to the girl that cried I said
To reach your love I still can
Beyond the field there's a river
And cool wind chimes through
The trees
I sit alone
On a wooden chair
The windows are shut
I don't care whats out there
The walls are white
With no distractions and I stare
At them and see a meadow somewhere
A scar less bayou is in my room
It's here so close
Nobody's around
Just me and the wall of sound
Just a wall of sound
And I sit for hours with all my toys to play
And ignorance is so good to me
A scar less bayou is in my room
It's here so close
Nobody's around
Just me and the wall of sound
Just a wall of sound
Someone approached me
I knew I could have her
I didn't hear a words at all
Just saw the meadow again
But it was different from back then
So strange
And I'm lost
So many bad weeds
When I was young
There was no reflection
All that I saw
He never took a paper
Never took his pen
Because he knew
He could never
Put into words a thing
Of the beauty of her face
Or her white skin or her grace
It would all be a lousy second best
He never read the papers
Never watched the news
Because no breaking reports
Would ever match his solitude
And no terror is strong enough
To blow her from his heart
She'll always be there
No matter how bad things are
So sad
I heard him singing
So deep
Down from his heart
So loud
I just kept swinging
And loud just ain't loud enough
Tonight I call you baby
To hear you smile
To hear you smile
He never wears his coat now
No umbrella or strong shoes
Because no winter
Was ever colder than his blues
But she will always guide him home
Though there's still along time to come
Well I've seen you as you wonder
I surely know you by now
And as the time marks our faces
I see that yours looks a lot like mine
But I have to cross many oceans
And walk the streets of many cities and towns
And then I'll wonder why
You're not there by my side
As the morning has shown its diamond
I have walked away
Yes the morning has shown its diamond
And a sparkling rain
Are you sitting in comfort?
'Cause I'm restless here
Many people talk to me
Most times I don't hear a thing
But I have to go on the road now
And make a difference in some far away place
As long as there's the blues
I'll have nothing to lose
And the morning has shown a diamond
As I walked away
Thought of asking you to come with me
In my head there's a melody
That I hear
Once it held my head high
Once I could stand to sing it loud
In ecstasy
The unaware never cares
And today
In a bar full of strangers, you see
How they don't care for me as I'm
Climbing up high
Yes today
I don't care for those strangers, you see
Blown away as my melody's
Climbing up high
My melody's climbing up high
In my head
There's a memory
Of the one
Who faded out in a song
And became just a melody
And not a girl
Or love that pours light in your eyes
And today
In a bar full of strangers, you see
How they don't care for me as I'm
Climbing up high
Yes today
I don't care for those strangers, you see
Blown away as my melody's
Climbing up high
My melody's climbing up high
In my head
In my head
Turning turning around myself
Forget the learning it's oh so late
She asked me moaning if I would stay
But I just had to run away
I should have been the one
I should have been the one
Today I'm burning but that's all fine
I chase the foreign and search decline
Been waiting for years to know someone
But when she came I told her none
I should have been the one
I should have been the one
Sometimes I do things all alone
Turning, turning to the thoughts that I've killed
The fence is tall but beyond is the real
I should have been someone like all others
I should have loved you when I could
When I could
I should have been the one
I should have been the one
Come on rider ‘cause I long to talk to you
Come on rider ‘cause your face is carved in blue
Since that day when I met you
I paid the bill but wasn't through
And forever we are two
Come on rider ‘cause I long to talk to you
I guess for you I'm just a face that has no name
Just a pay and go away
But you left me out of clues
And forever we are two
Come on rider leave your riots and leave your men
‘Cause we all often give ourselves away for change
It always shines after the rains
Come on cry for me your blues
Four in the morning I'm gone
Driving toward the conquering of Dawn
And she stands in front of my eyes
Shifting the gears until I crash
And fall to a dream in her arms
Ooh what a day to begin
Here in the wasteland I stand
Hoping some things will remain
And that she will know who I am
‘Cause my heart is broken all the same
A burden that gets in the way
Ooh what a night to begin
And I waste myself for so long
And I chased myself for too long
Four in the morning she's gone
I take all the right from the wrong
Drifting from all that I've known
Not all of them are prizes to be won
They're just lying down in The Sun
Ooh what a day to begin
I never met a girl like you before
You always wait for me behind the door
And I am sure that you will kill my pain
‘Cause in your arms it's warm and never rains
I never dreamt to let you slip away
‘Cause without you there is no night or day
And in your endless fields there are no walls
To stop me or to tell me that I'm wrong
So come to me with tunes and melodies
And Blur that day-to-day reality
The time never ends when I ride your wings
Somehow...
I never met a girl like you before
We climb all hills as if they weren't at all
For us it's just a glide from song to song
Broken hearts seem not far away
Won't you meet me there
‘Cause I passed by you this morning
But I can't pass you by
Thinking of you in my mind
Sunny day sunny day
On a lonely aging way
Broken hearts is a place where I
Meet my sanity
With a taste of a new beginning
And leaving worlds behind
Still you're always on my mind
Sunny day sunny day
On a lonely aging way
Sunny day sunny day
Well I dreamed of you my love
On that grassy hill of mine
Where there's no one that knows me around
And we parted long ago
Hope you still recall my name
‘Cause I have traveled miles now
Trying to forget
And I long to see you just one more time
And I wish to ask you back into my life
I will be around you if you'll have this dreaming child
I will be with you girl somewhere far in time
And the night was cold and rainy
In that grassy dream of mine
I saw you fading out in the dark
And every time that I feel lonely
I wish that you would come
And in your eyes I'll wonder
Like I did that night
And I want to see you just one more time
Those dreams are mirrors
To what I see in myself
And I was a young boy
Who let you walk away
It's like it was just yesterday
And I long to see you just one more time
And I wish to ask you back into my life
I will be around you if you'll have this dreaming child
And once again we are in jeopardy
Our crimes are aging just like you and me
For love is more than a dream
And I believe in walls of mystery
That block The Sun from everyone
When I'll wake up you'll be gone
And all that will be left is in my hands
To write a memory of love that's dead
It echoes from a distance and fades away
And you and me we go in separate ways
Wish I could change all that has been done
The time when you were the one
This is today when I can't see a thing
But what it is for the time being
And how it feels in my hands
But when it walks away I feel free
Freer than a bird above the open sea
I can see a bright light up the hill there
Way beyond my wishful reach
And I know my cousin lives there
And he looks a lot like me
For years as I watch him closely
He watches back
And neither can tell what's on the other's mind
Is he about to come and get me
And stab a knife into my back
And it's getting darker now
And the light is dimming out
But the wind whispers love
Yeah the wind whispers love
Mama see the swirly mountains sigh there
How in my dreams I climbed them high
To the land of milk and honey
That the people have turned to mud
I know a creek that runs from way up there
Wish it could tell me the sights and sounds it saw
Because for water there are no borders
Or so I thought before I dried
And it's getting darker now
And the light is dimming out
But the wind whispers love
Yeah the wind whispers love
When all is worn out and gone
I'll think about a song
That echoes through fire and light
Above the changing sky
A lullaby
Bringing a new dawn to us all
We'll raise a cup to life
But now we're all so tired
And at the far end of the road
We wish to sing our sons
A lullaby
And it's getting darker now
And the light is dimming out
But the wind whispers love
Wish I'd find a way to tell her
How she's everything I know
She's the river to my flow
And the sea when I get home
And the bravery in my battles
But she never mentions her own
If I could find a righteous way
I would surely let her know
That I can see the stars
Arising in her eyes
Shine forevermore
And then I see a young girl running
She calls me to remind me where I'm
I am drowning in her waters
That are full of desperate hope
But she's a river that I know
I'll always lay upon her shores
And I can see the stars
Arising in her eyes
Shine forevermore
And then I see a young girl running
Come down Sun Bird don't hide
Behind dark feathers lay Your crystal eyes
And I want to see you smile
Come down Sun Bird don't fly
Yes I'm as scared as you are But I can't lie
I want you to say your mine
I know a girl Her name is Bird
And I am hers It's been so long
But still I can't show her love
Won't you come stay with me
'Cause I need someone in My memories
'Cause mine are all just of me
I know a girl Her name is Bird
And I am hers It's been so long
while i look down from high tall window
down to a busy street of mine.
i couldn't hear a sound that was louder,
than the one inside my mind.
instead the trees,
the kids were climbing up telephone Antenna pole,
their mothers sat on brown park benches ,
and were waiting to get old.
do we all like,
to get out dancing to the sound of a guitar strum.
yes it bring us back together,
those sometimes I wonder how.
cause to me its just another,
way to neutralized
my eyes,
from seen that daily ,
we were faces
from the hour that i am alive
still i am playing out for nickels,
i keep am in a wooden drawer
so that one day i can afford her diamond and pearls
but when i hold her hand
i understand that she worth a whole lot more
that i can ever afford.
in my room there's no mistaken
i got the world upon my land
and with my steel guitar i slid it
endless dream of misfortune out
but the song that i am singing
i have sang a 8 thousands time or more
it never change the way i act it
once i went outside the door.
still i am playing out for nickels i keep am in a
wooden drawer
so that one day i can afford her diamond and pearls
but when i hold her hand
i understand that she worth a whole lot more
yes , when i hold here hand i understand that she worth
a whole lot more
when the winter rains wash through me
you know i'm still on my way
and then summer leaves me in ruins
and no words are left unsaid
i wonder if she's fine
down in the corner of my mind
i wonder if
i wonder if
i wonder if she's fine
like the fields that are left with nothing
but crying out for the floods
i am emptied with just a fragment
of one solid train of thought
i wonder if she's fine
down in the corner of my mind
i wonder if
i wonder if
i wonder if she's fine
and she answers in the wind
hiding in the pine trees' green
She's always there to lead me through the haze
inside your eyes i see an orchestra
conducted madly by your brain
the motif's louder now
and it can never stop
i once knew you a valor girl
marks on your skin like soldiers on the field
the campaign is set, they're marching on
and i watch from the side
no words of wrong or right
and frightened of what's coming next
I know she's a valor girl
she can guide us through and show us to the promised land
i see it in my mind
magnificent and loving
i will follow her
until the end of time
she can guide us through and show us to the promised land
i've seen her in my mind
from her smile poured many colors
but it's hiding now
went down to see an aching woman in her twilight days
and i meant to feed her hope while the guitar played
with a shuttered glance she told me
we shall meet again
on the banks of Jordan's River
i went down to see The Jordan River
as her words foretold
but I'm searching still as the cold wind blows
to find The Jordan River
and my soul
now i know that she is watching from long ago
and i hold my head up high, see there's always a choice
in her sorrow she reminds me that i must go on
'til i find that misty river
i went down to see The Jordan River
as her words foretold
but I'm searching still as the cold wind blows
to find the Jordan river
Herons flew above me in the morning light
giant shadows fell down on me
and misty waves sounded in my ears
they still echo in my mind
baby, once in a while
as my eyesight fails
and all the colors range
between tones of gray
i recall that sound
and i wish i was
in that morning light
where the herons fly
the creek and i have aged
the herons are all gone
grey and white, they don't fly here
but as i stare through the rising dawn
they're still vivid in my mind
baby once in a while
i can hardly see
through my memories
it's like a crazy dream
i once had of dying
and i wish i was
in that morning light
in the morning light
in the morning light
i wish i was
in the morning light
as the years come tumbling down
i wonder if i'll hear the sound
of the grey herons flight
my house stands in the meadow
and it welcomes no one
i'm out following footsteps
toward the bridge to your heart
i saw myself on a highway
one destination and a one way ride
i thought you'd never rejoin me
my house is closed for the winter
and there's no key to be found
i keep warm on strange wishes
and a passion for life
and as i try to get closer
will you see here the man in me
will you come on and join me
to rock all night
to dive in the water
and swim towards the light
to rock all night
above a wishing well i was standing
minding my own self
wishing for wounds to recover from
and the burning of the flame
i threw a rock to the bottom
and felt so high
felt like everyone joined me
to rock all night
to dive in the water
and swim towards the light
to rock all night
but i'm in trouble
my house is locked
i can't get out now
it's getting dark
so goodnight brothers
goodnight love
goodnight mother
goodnight dad
yes i can remember darkness fear and never ending
deserts
that dried your face from tears
i'm picking the memories off the trees
and from the scent of summer
in yellow, brown and green
now i'm lost within the arms of Carolina
and she's the warmest getaway, feels just like mother
inside my mind
i saw myself running in a dream
i was storming down the hallway but no one heard my
plea
when i was a young boy this was life
from a speaker yelled a stranger when you called for
your mom
now i'm lost within the arms of Carolina
and she's the warmest getaway feels just like mother
she's free, she makes her own rules
i cruise her sea and forget my old wounds
but i still feel the blisters
they drag me down to hear the whispers
inside my mind
i feel lost just like a child
now i'm lost within the arms of Carolina
wishing that i could forget but i still want her
i saw myself running in dream
my boat is ready
i built it strong
i hope it will last those
wicked storms
as i must go now
way down this canyon
the river holds
all of my stories
or so I'm told
and i must find them
the pass gets wider
the wind it blows
my rowing is nothing
against the wall
of raging waters
still i am thankful for it all
i start to question my purpose here
will love provide me with a getaway
from this asylum
and will i manage to keep my breath
so when i see her, i have the strength
and words to tell her
and so I'm shouting that i fear none
between my dives i see the sun
I'm very thankful for all my life
and if i call her will she reach out
'till I feel the warmth of a thousand suns
or will it echo between the rocks till it fades out
i see the love
i see the love
i see the love i found
and know that there's no other
the pass gets wider
the wind it blows
my rowing is nothing
against the wall
of raging waters
you can come here any time
the garden is neglected
but the door is open
you can come
turn the light on and sit with me
we'll no longer live in misery
there's room to hold your burden
my loving is for free
you can call me anytime
or surprise me at the door
'cause i don't mind
you can come
leave your troubled mind behind
and forget about the time
the world is at our fingertips
so why go outside
shifting sands have drowned me
blizzards often dusted my soul
ocean waves have pounded me
until i found my home
you can come here anytime
the garden is neglected
but the door is open
you can come
leave your troubled mind behind
and forget about the time
there's room to hold your burden
I always wished to be around
My brother's kids as they become
Young folks to gaze at
And to be proud
To know that life will stick around
Through all the rights and wrongs that we've sustained forever
But here we are so far from that
Lately I began to wonder
What's there for me around this town?
Whose skyline shape seems like forever growing monsters
It gets me down, so down
And for the first time
Thoughts grow and road
And get closer now to where I'm from
I look at the faces that I've know since
My younger days and let them see
That I now understand the meaning of relations
And get closer now to who I am
Lately I began to wonder
What's there for me around this town?
Whose skyline shape seems like forever growing monsters
It gets me down, so down
And weirder scenes appears in my dreams
And when I wake up they never stop
The millions people I pass have blinded faces
It gets me down
So down
Wish I was closer
Yes I know the chill you're spreading
And I know your eyes that burn
And I recognize your lonesome coat
You are to me just like a fairy tale
That I stoll through so all alone
And I know your name
It's Wintercold
Your gown is gray and blue
That are so deep I feel them good
Your wind still blows a word
Through trees that break my heart in two
To meet you here is truly a getaway
And I love you the way you are
You dig in lost despair until it's gone
I come to you from great confusion
To find relief in your old ways
I'll try to win your heart
That's who I am
Your gown is gray and blue
That are so deep I feel them good
Your wind still blows a word
Through trees that break my heart in two
Yes I know the chill you're spreading
And I know your eyes that burn
And I know your name
The seasons in this town all look the same
and I've lost all track of where I am
i hear a song when I call your name
and miss the scents of the ground after the rains
We are aching for the walls to fall
Into the great enlightenment
Let’s not wait until its dawn my love
Before we hit the highway
Dangerous times
To live on the outskirts of town
with open fields all around
keeping you from going downtown
to smile to camera on time
On Friday in the boulevard
Where everything’s going down
When everything's going down
We are aching for the walls to fall
Into the great enlightenment
Let’s not wait until its dawn my love
First time that i've felt
On the palm of my hand
laid a chance to
reach and touch my home land
and when i got there my rosemary sang
she stood windward
in a red evening gown
that was deep as the ocean
you could feel the water around
when i approached her
my rosemary said
don't look down
'cause theres no ground there
it's just your mind
kneel your head long
and you fall down
and when you're out there
in different times
don't forget me
'cause i'm your kind
I looked inside her
and saw a spring full of blooms
a child passed through me
I felt no aging or gloom
for just one moment
in rosemarys room
so i decided to keep hanging on
hoping she'll be there
the day i come home
and when i left her
she smiled with the dawn
'cause theres no ground there
it's just your mind
kneel your head long
and you fall down
and when you're out there
in different times
don't forget me
'cause i'm your kind
so if you're out there
On this birthday
I dream away
It's a pile of hay
In my bed
Everyone is missing from my TV screen
It's just electric snow for miles and miles we take a walk
On this birthday
I seize the day
Got my things all packed
In my Cadillac
I'll take it for a ride all down the line
Hope to run into you we'll waste ourselves on the endless truth
Oh what a drag you had to go
Oh you don't know just what I know
Oh what a drag you had to go
On this day of birth
I'm down to Earth
Hear the radio
On an asphalt road
I know they're coming soon so what else can I do
