I can't keep from crying sometimes
I can't keep from crying sometimes
Oh momma she's dead and gone
And I know I'm all alone
I can't keep from crying sometimes
Early in the morning
About the break of day
I fall down on my knees
I fall down and I pray
I think about my woman
My woman who's long gone
I can't keep from crying sometimes
I can't keep from crying sometimes
Oh momma she's dead and gone
And I know I'm all alone
I can't keep from crying sometimes
Later in the evening
I watch the sun go down
I think about my woman
But my woman Lord she ain't around
My heart is filled with sadness
And my eyes are filled with tears
I can't keep from crying sometimes
I can't keep from crying sometimes
Oh momma she's dead and gone
And I know I'm all alone

There is nothing I can do,
as you leave me here to cry.

Give you all that I own.
That's one thing you can't deny.

Last night I had a dream that the world
Was changing by leaps and bounds
It started up in the bigger cities
Than it spread to the smaller towns
The people began to smile at people
That they'd never even seen
And when Jeremiah woke me up
I was ready to live that dream
Well, it's a brand new day
Brand new way, brand new day
Give it to me, alright
You know the mother called the father on the telephone
She cried, "My God I'm so upset"
She said the boy left home naked this morning
All he took was the TV set
Than the sister picked up the extension
And she said, “He's just doing his thing”
Than the father hung up on the mother
And the children began to sing
Well, it's a brand new day, yes
A brand new way, brand new day
We gotta put our heads together
And see where we go from there
We gotta fight for what we believe in
'Cause there's something in the air
And it's a brand new day, that's right
Brand new way, brand new day
I can feel it growing stronger every minute now
Twenty million shadows storming at the gates
Now how can you be surprised?
With the image of the fallen four reflected in their eyes
And though twenty million tongues are shouting now
It's only heard by a precious few
But the years of night will pass forever
When the sun comes shining through
On a brand new day
Brand new way, yes, a brand new day
Hey people, you know that it's a brand new day
Brand new way, brand new way you're walking
Brand new day, yes, a brand new way
Go ahead now
And it's alright, yes, it's alright
And it's alright now, it's alright
And it's alright, yes, it's alright
Sand in the heat and the sun in her hair
Ocean at her feet
There was no one else there
And I silently wept as she turned me away
The tears on my face?
Salt-water, I prayed...
Daughter of a banker with the green in her blood
And me such a failure - just a poor fool in love

Everyone said:
You ve just one thing in common,
You re both out of your heads
How could I be with ANOTHER MAN S PRIZE?
How could I possibly rationalize?
Blinded by beauty in a web spun full of lies
She was not my possession
But ANOTHER MAN S PRIZE
He was born into high stock of privilige and class
And there but for fortune still I never will pass
But he took for granted what I treasured for life
Nearly cost him his wife
He couldn t tell she was ANOTHER MAN S PRIZE
She just slipped through his fingers
neath the glaze in his eyes
And as I was about to reach that very highest of highs
It was my miscalculation
Cause she was ANOTHER MAN S PRIZE
The worst feeling on earth is to know you ve been used
Specially after that moment when two bodies are fused
When you build a false heaven - you ve the devil to pay
And now that I know how I wound up this way
How could I be with ANOTHER MAN S PRIZE?
How could I possibly rationalize?
Blinded by beauty in a web spun full of lies
She was not my possession
But ANOTHER MAN S PRIZE
She was not my possession
I was lost by the river
And I couldn't find a home
And I didn't have no, no way to roam
Oh won't somebody hear me, hear me
Come on, hear me at all
Help me, please
I'm just a lonely boy
I ain't got no home
I need you so much, darling
Yeah, I've been wandering
Wandering for such a long, long time
Won't somebody
Please give me peace of mind
Won't somebody hear me at all
Hear me at all, set me free
I'm just a lonely boy
I ain't got no home
I got no sail, darling, yes

When I was comin' down from someone else ya know
You took my hand
You pushed me up, you pulled me out
Ya done me good do ya understand?
Noone else around could have saved me
Oh Jolie ya shone just like the sun
And like the dead you came & you raised me
Oh Jolie Look at what you done
You may be young but you got so much more
Than any girl I know
And I see your face most every place
Don't make no difference where I go
So lets not fall so fast that we get crazy
Oh Jolie will ya think of me ?
And when your picture of me gets a little hazy
Ya know Jolie its only you I see
Noone else around could have saved me
Oh Jolie ya shone just like the sun
And like the dead you came & you raised me
Oh Jolie Look at what you done
Who wants to buy this diamond ring?
She took it off her finger now
It doesn't mean a thing
This diamond ring doesn't shine for me anymore and
This diamond ring doesn't mean what it did before
So if you got someone whose love is true
Let it shine for you
This stone is genuine like love should be
And if your baby's truer than
My baby was to me
Then this diamond ring can be something beautiful
And this diamond ring can be dreams that are coming true
Then your heart won't have to break like mine did

I stand alone
Cant nobody make me change my mind about my love
So many people tryin' to bring a good thing down today
Ya know it's down on the ground
Before it's had a chance to get away
I stand alone
In a world where people wheel ya this way, deal ya that
I tried so very hard to win her love for me
Cant nobody take me where I don't wanna be
Love of my life I feel so much love for you
That's why I stand alone and do the things I have to do
I have never been so much in love as I am today
And tomorrow - I know tomorrow
One of these days and it won't be long,
You're gonna look for me and I'll be gone
'Cause I believe (I believe, yes I believe)
I say I believe right now (I believe, yes I believe)
Well I believe to my soul now,
Tryin' to make a fool of me (I believe it, I believe it)
Well you're goin' 'round here with your head so hard,
I think I'm gonna have to use my rod
'Cause I believe (I believe, yes I believe)
I say I believe right now (I believe, yes I believe)
Well I believe to my soul now
Tryin' to make a fool of me (I believe it, I believe it)
Last night you were dreaming and I heard you say
"Oh, Johnny" when you know my name is Ray
That's why I believe right now (I believe, yes I believe)
I say I believe right now (I believe, yes I believe)
Whoa I believe to my soul now
Tryin' to make a fool of me (I believe it)
"I Believe to My Soul" as written by Ray Charles

When I look outside my window
What do I see?
And when I look outside my window
So many different people to be, yeah
That it's strange, so strange
You've got to pick up every stitch
Two rabbits running in a ditch
The hippies out to make it rich
Oh no
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch
Well, when I look over my shoulder
What do I see?
And when I look over my shoulder
Some ancient fellow I'm longing to be
It's so strange, so strange
You've got to pick up every stitch
Two rabbits running in the ditch
The hippies out to make it rich
Oh no
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch
And here we sit immersed in a liquid sea of love
Shimmering rainbows in silver sky above
A looking glass that reflects our past
Tied with seaweed all around like willows
Upside down, you caress my heart
Caress my soul, surround my limbs
You laugh your laugh and hold my body fast
And we wake up and sit here thinking
Thinking about the times we used to have
And know they're gone forever
We'll never learn, never learn
“Help me”
“Somebody help him”
As I look over my shoulder
What do I see?
And as I look over my shoulder
There's so many pretty sights to see
That it's strange, so strange
You've got to pick up every stitch
You've got to pick up every stitch
Those hippies out to make it rich
Oh no
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch
Season of the witch
Please have mercy on my soul
No, no, must be the season of the witch
[Incomprehensible]
God, God, hey
If you can't help us you better listen, please
I wonder if you are really a friend of mine.
If I was dyin' of thirst wouldja be my glass of wine?
Time goes by so slow ya know
You never really know who your friends are.
I wonder if you are really a friend of mine.
If I were buyin' a house wouldja come and countersign?
Time goes by so fast ya know
You never really know who your friends are.
If you were down
Ya know I'd be there at your door.
I'd shower you with food and money
After all, what are friends for?
They're really such a bore; knockin' at your door
Askin' for some more.
I wonder if you are really a friend of mine.
If I were lying in jail wouldja get outta bed and pay my fine?
Time stands still for everyone
You never really know who your friends are.
Time stands still for everyone

New York City you're a woman
Cold-hearted bitch ought to be your name
Oh you ain't never loved nobody
Yet I'm drawn to you like a moth to flame
Oh I have suckled you in my sorrow
And I have sinned with you in my shame
But you ain't never even seen me
New York City, I'm tryin' to beat your game
Oh and I rise up, Lord, and I fall down
It's all in the merit of my ways
Don't you dare try & stop me now
I am settled right here in your haze
and I am stuck here now in the final phase
Now don't you send me to the country
Cause I ain't ready to concede
I will tell you when I'm ready
And I will call to you from down on my knees
Oh I might be standing but
I'll be down on my knees
New York City you're a woman
Cold-hearted bitch ought to be your name
Oh you ain't never loved nobody
Still I'm drawn to you like a moth to flame
And I guess that it's silly
To think you'll ever change
New York City
You're everything my heart & soul inside
New York City
Oh I'm stuck here - stuck inside of
New York City
I been with ya up & I been with ya down
New York City
I cant get myself outa this town
New York City
I feel it inside me every day of my life
New York City
I cant break loose - It's all over me
New York City
You're a part of my life in every which way
New York City
Everything I ever meant - everything I say

Baby, please don't go, baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so, baby, please don't go
Baby, your mind done gone, well, your mind done gone
Well, your mind done gone, left the county farm
You had the shackles on, baby, please don't go

Baby, please don't go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so, baby, please don't go, let's go
Before I be your dog, before I be your dog
Before I be your dog to get you way down here

Let him hold you, let him touch you
Soon you'll understand
While he makes you into a woman
He becomes a man
The tenderness you lend to her
With every touch of your hand
Will make her feel just like a woman
If I ever leave you
You can say I told you so
If I ever hurt you babe
You know I hurt myself as well
Is that any way for a man to carry on?
D'you think he wants his little loved one gone?
I love you baby, more than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know
When I wasn't makin' too much money
You know where my paycheck went
You know I brought it home to baby
And I never spent one red cent
Is that any way for a man to carry on
D'you think he wants his little loved one gone?
I love you baby, more than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know
I'm not tryin' to be
Any kind of man

You can love, trust and understand

A part of you that no one else could see
I just gotta hear, to hear you say
It's all right, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm only flesh and blood
But I can be anything that you demand
I could President of General Motors baby, hey
Or just a tiny little grain of sand

I love you baby, I love you baby

If I ever leave you
