All I Intended To Be is the 25th studio album from Emmylou Harris and her third release on Nonesuch Records. It was released in the United States on June 10, 2008. The album debuted at number 22 on the Billboard 200, and number four on Top Country Albums, which makes the album Harris' highest charting solo record on the Billboard 200 since Evangeline was released in 1981.

The song "Gold" features guest vocals by Dolly Parton and "Old Five and Dimers Like Me" is a duet between Harris and John Starling. The album was made #49 in Q's 50 Best Albums of the Year 2008.

Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris - All the Roadrunning (full album)

Order: Reorder
Duration: 50:35
Updated: 18 Oct 2014

Mark Knopfler And Emmylou Harris - All the Roadrunning (2006.) Tracklist: Beachcombing I Dug Up A Diamond This Is Us Red Staggerwing Rollin' On Love and Happiness for You Right Now Donkey Town Belle Star Beyond My Wildest Dreams All the Roadrunning If This is Goodbye Over the last seven years, Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris quietly recorded an album by stealing "a few precious hours of studio time here and there," as the ex-Dire Straits singer/guitarist puts it. Good thing they kept it largely under wraps--expectations would have pushed through the clouds, especially as Knopfler conjured 10 of the 12 cuts, and Harris, who writes potently, but little, contributed two ("Love and Happiness," "Belle Starr"). Yet now that it's here, All the Roadrunning--while beautiful--seems somehow underwhelming, and without a true centerpiece. Anyone familiar with the artists' famous catalogues would expect the repertoire to be poetic and brooding, and that Harris's ethereal soprano would add light to Knopfler's dark Prozac rumblings. But the surprise is that the album is too tame, never breaks out of its midtempo groove, and never takes any big chances. That said, there is much to like: The marital scrapbook romp of "This Is Us," the bluesy bickering of "Right Now," the wrenching poignancy of the 9/11-inspired ballad "If This Is Goodbye." Knopfler, ever the hypnotic guitarist, turns in some thrillingly droll and laconic vocals, and Harris brings the spirited coltishness of her early work to "Belle Starr." In the end, though, this is not so much a duet album as two famously melancholy musicians singing together--at times, strikingly so. I do not own this album, all rights go to Emmylou Harris and Mark Knopfler! Subscribe to my channal! :)

Emmylou Harris - Magnoliafest 10-19-2012

Order: Reorder
Duration: 105:54
Updated: 28 Oct 2012

What a very special treat to have Emmylou and band perform at Magnoliafest !!! Though other performers sold more records and earned greater fame, few left as profound an impact on contemporary music as Emmylou Harris. Blessed with a crystalline voice, a remarkable gift for phrasing, and a restless creative spirit, she traveled a singular artistic path, proudly carrying the torch of "cosmic American music" passed down by her mentor, Gram Parsons. With the exception of only Neil Young -- not surprisingly an occasional collaborator -- no other mainstream star established a similarly large body of work as consistently iconoclastic, eclectic, or daring; even more than four decades into her career, Harris' latter-day music remained as heartfelt, visionary, and vital as her earliest recordings. Setlist:* Six White Cadillacs Orphan Girl Love and Happiness Beneath Still Waters Two More Bottles of Wine Hello Stranger Pancho and Lefty Michelangelo Sin City Wheels My Name Is Emmett Till Get Up John The Road Luxury Liner Darling Kate Every Grain of Sand Going Back To Harlan Calling My Children Shores of White Sand The Pearl Old Five and Dimers Together Again Born to Run Evangeline Leaving Louisiana *- Special thanks to Ally at http://www.youtube.com/user/TakenAlsoAlso for help with the setlist.

Bob Harris My Nashville BBC Documentary 2014

Order: Reorder
Duration: 58:37
Updated: 15 Nov 2014

Bob Harris My Nashville BBC Documentary 2014 'Whispering' Bob Harris journeys to America's country music capital to reveal why Nashville became Music City USA. From the beginnings of the Grand Ole Opry on commercial radio, through the threatening onset of rock 'n' roll in the 1950s, right up to the modern mainstream hits of Music Row, this is the story of how music has shaped Nashville and why today it's a place of pilgrimage for musicians from all over the world. As well as iconic venues on Lower Broadway and the historic hit factories of 16th Avenue, Bob also explores the East Nashville music scene and discovers a rebellious flipside to the country coin. With exclusive performances from the city's top talent, Bob explains why country music owes its enduring success to Nashville's unique nurturing community of songwriters. Includes interviews with Emmylou Harris, Duane Eddy, Dave Stewart and Rosanne Cash.

Top Emmylou Harris, Guitar Town

Hey sweet daddy, are you ready for me
It's your good rockin' mama down from Tennessee
Well I'm just outta Austin bound for San Antone
With the radio blastin' and the bird dog on
There's a speed trap up ahead south of town
But no local yokel's gonna shut me down
'Cause me and my boys got this rig unwound
And we've come a thousand miles from the guitar town
Well nothin' ever happened round my home town
And I ain't the kind to just hang around
But I heard someone callin' my name one day
And I followed that voice down the lost highway
Well everybody told me you can't get far
On 37 dollars and a Jap guitar
Now I'm smokin' into Texas with the hammer down
And a rockin' little combo from the guitar town
Hey pretty baby, don't you know it ain't my fault
Love to hear the steel belts hummin' on the asphalt
Wake up in the middle of the night in a truck stop
Stumble in the restaurant, wonderin' why I don't stop
Well, I gotta keep rockin' while I still can
Got a two-pack habit and a motel tan
When my boots hit the boards it's a brand new hand
And my back to the risers and make my stand
Hey pretty baby, won't you hold me tight
I'm loadin' up and rollin' out of here tonight
But one of these days I'm gonna settle down

Top Emmylou Harris, Half As Much

If you love me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up let me down
If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I could never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you
Well if you love me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
I know that I could never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you
Well if you only loved me half as much as I love you
{Thank you
Is it wonderful to sit out there I mean is this a great
Place to sort of feel the Hillbilly guests.
I, I played a lot of different places in last sixteen years
From a really mega buck you know a multi-million dollar places
That really sound terrible to one place in Lake Charles Louisana
Where the only way to get to the stage is to climb through the window

Top Emmylou Harris, Hard Times

(Stephen Foster)
Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears
While we all sup sorrow with the poor.
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears,
Oh, hard times, come again no more
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary.
Hard times, hard times, come again no more.
Many days you have lingered all around my door.
Oh, hard times, come again no more.
While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay.
There are frail forms fainting at the door
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say,
Oh, hard times, come again no more.
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary.
Hard times, hard times, come again no more.
Many days you have lingered all around my door.
Oh, hard times, come again no more.
There's a pale drooping maiden who foils her life away
With a worn out heart, whose better days are o'er.
Though her voice it would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day,
Oh, hard times, come again no more.
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary.
Hard times, hard times, come again no more.
Many days you have lingered all around my door.
Oh, hard times, come again no more.
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary.
Hard times, hard times, come again no more.
Many days you have lingered all around my door.

Top Emmylou Harris, If I Could Be There

If I could be there
I'd be there tonight, comforting you
This road I'm on is so far away
Too far away
If God would grant me wings to fly
I'd be in your arms by and by
If I could be there
I'd be there tonight, comforting you
If I could be there
I'd look in your eyes and say, "I love you"
These hills and highways
Between us now keep us apart
If God would grant me wings to fly
I'd be in your arms by and by
If I could be there
I'd look in your eyes and say, "I love you"
If I could be there
I wouldn't have this pain in my heart
Tomorrow I'll wake up with joy for the day
Joy for the day
If God would grant me wings to fly
I'd be in your arms by and by
If I could be there
I wouldn't have this pain in my heart

Top Emmylou Harris, Like Strangers

Like strangers, that's what we are
Darlin', how can lovers pull apart so far
Like strangers, how can it be?
Only days ago, we loved so tenderly
I love you, truly I do
And I hope deep in your heart
You love me too
Let's forget that we've been angry
Let's be lovers like before
And swear not to be like strangers anymore
Like strangers, that's what we are
Darlin', how can lovers pull apart so far
Like strangers, how can it be?
Only days ago, we loved so tenderly
I love you, truly I do
And I hope deep in your heart
You love me too
Let's forget that we've been angry
Let's be lovers like before
And swear not to be like strangers anymore
Let's forget that we've been angry
Let's be lovers like before
And swear not to be like strangers anymore
{Oh!
Thank you, thank you very much
Pleased to do a four sets a night at the Red Fox Inn and
But that's at Maryland between the hours of eight and twelve
With the same audience. They were pretty good
They weren't nearly as nice as you folks
I have to say there was always
Some guy out in the audience screaming
For Fox and their runner Orange passes special
Because, I didn't have a fiddle player in the band
And, anyway those days are gone
But, I think, we did run into that guy
He's still following me around, but he's not here tonight so
Dedicate this song to him. His name is Dick wherever he is
What I'm, I'm serious, I'm serious, what

Top Emmylou Harris, Lodi

Just about a year ago
I set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune
Lookin' for a pot of gold
Things got bad and things got worse
I guess you know the tune
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again
Came in on a greyhound
I'll be walkin' out if I vow
I was just passin' through
It must be seven months or more
Ran out of time and money
Oh it looks like they took my friends
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again
Well the man from the magazine
He said I was on the way
Somewhere I lost connection
And I ran out of songs to play
Came into town on a one-night stand
It looks like my plans fell through
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again
Well if I only had a dollar
For every song I've sung
Every time I've had to play
While people sat there drunk
You know I'd catch the next train
Back to where I live
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again

Top Emmylou Harris, Mansion On The Hill

(Bruce Springsteen)
There's a place out on the edge of town sir
Risin' above the factories and fields
Now ever since I was a child I can remember
That mansion on the hill
In the day you can see the children playing
On a road that leads to those gates of hardened steel
Steel gates that completely surround sir
That mansion on the hill
At night my daddy'd take me and we'd ride
Through the streets of a town so silent and still
Park on a back road along the highway signs sir
Look up at the mansion on the hill
In the summer all the lights would shine
There'd be music playin' people laughin' all the time
Me and my brother we'd lie down in the tall cornfields sir
Sit and listen to the mansion on the hill
Tonight down here in Linden Town
I watch the cars rushin' by home from the mill
There's a beautiful full moon rising

Top Emmylou Harris, Smoke Along The Track

(Alan Rose)
One day the train was passin'
I caught it comin' by
To look this old world over under God's blue sky
My darlin' stood there weepin' as I was looking back
I kissed my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track
Goodbye so long until I come back home
You'll be my dream
Goodbye so long, there's lots of places that I've never seen
I'll always be a drifter but I'll be driftin' back
To where I left you cryin' in the smoke along the track
I like to keep on goin' it helps me when I'm blue
I get the urge to travel that's all I want to do
I just can't settle down because I like to roam
And when I hear that whistle blow I've gotta move along
Goodbye so long there's something down the track keeps callin' me
Goodbye so long I guess that's just the way I'll always be
So when I get that feelin' don't try to hold me back
I'd only leave you crying in that smoke along the track
I know my baby loves me I love my baby too
But he don't understand me when I'm feelin' blue
And when I hear that whistle blow, I hurry home and pack
And leave my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track.
Goodbye, so long, I hate to leave you, but I've got to go
Goodbye, so long, It's coming down just hear that whistle blow
It'll be here in a minute, you'll wave and I'll look back
I'm gonna leave you cryin' in the smoke along the track.
Goodbye so long until I come back home
You'll be my dream
Goodbye so long, there's lots of places that I've never seen
I'll always be a drifter but I'll be driftin' back
To where I left you cryin' in the smoke along the track

Top Emmylou Harris, Burn That Candle

Keep that candle burnin' bright, mama
I'll be kind of late tonight, mama
There's a yellow moon above me, mama
Shinin' on the one I love, mama
Burn that candle night and day
Burn that candle, honey, light our way
Keep that doorway open wide
Until we come slowly strollin' side by side
While that candle's shinin' high, mama
I'll be with my sugar pie, mama
We'll be comin' home you know, mama
Lookin' for that candle glowin', mama
Burn that candle night and day
Burn that candle, honey, light our way
Keep that doorway open wide
Until we come slowly strollin' side by side
After we have had the wedding, mama
To that candle we'll be headin', mama
So before we're runnin', dinin', mama
Keep that candle light a-shinin', mama
Burn that candle night and day
Burn that candle, honey, light our way
Keep that doorway open wide
Until we come slowly strollin' side by side
Burn that candle night and day
Burn that candle, honey, light our way
Keep that doorway open wide

Top Emmylou Harris, Two More Bottles of Wine

We came out west together with a common desire
The fever we had migtha set the West Coast on fire
Two months later got trouble in mind
Oh my baby moved out and left me behind
But it's all right 'cause it's midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
The way he left sure turned my head around
Seemed like overnight it just up and put me down
Well I ain't gonna let it bother me today
I've been workin' and I'm too tired anyway
But it's all right, midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
Well I'm sixteen hundred miles from the people I know
Have been doin' all I can but opportunity sure come slow
Well I'd be in the sun all day
But I'm sweepin' out a warehouse in West L.A.
But it's all right 'cause it's midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
I'm sixteen hundred miles from the people I know
Been doin' all I can but opportunity sure come slow
Lord, I'd be in the sun all day
But I'm sweepin' out a warehouse in West L.A.
But it's all right 'cause it's midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
Yes, it's all right 'cause it's midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
Yes, it's all right 'cause it's midnight

Top Emmylou Harris, Too Far Gone

I know that somewhere
There's someone you love more than me
Someone you love more than me
And I hate to say it
But you have a right to be free
I know that's the way it should be
But I'm too far gone
Too far gone
I've loved you so much for so long
And I'm too far gone
If ever your new love
Should hurt you or make you feel blue
Hurt you or make you feel blue
Just remember your old love
Will still be around loving you
I'll be around loving you
'Cause I'm too far gone
Too far gone
I love you so much for so long

Top Emmylou Harris, To Daddy

(Dolly Parton)
Mama never seemed to miss the finer things of life
If she did she never did say so to daddy
She never wanted to be more than a mother and a wife
If she did she never did say so to daddy
The only thing that seemed to be important to her life
Was to make our house a home and make us happy
Mama never wanted any more than what she had
If she did she never did say so to daddy
He often left her all alone but she didn't mind the staying home
If she did she never did say so to daddy
And she never missed the flowers and the cards he never sent her
If she did she never did say so to daddy
Being took for granted was a thing that she accepted
And she didn't need those things to make her happy
And she didn't seem to notice that he didn't kiss and hold her
If she did she never did say so to daddy
One morning we awoke just to find a note
That mama carefully wrote and left to daddy
And as we began to read it
Our ears could not believe it
The words that she had written there to daddy
She said the kids are older now they don't need me very much
And I've gone in search of love I need so badly
I have needed you so long but I just can't keep holding on
She never meant to come back home
If she did she never did say so to daddy

Top Emmylou Harris, Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight

Mary took to running with a travelin' man
Left her momma crying with her head in her hands
Such a sad case, so broken hearted
She say, ?Momma, got to go, gotta get outta here
Gotta get out of town, tired of hanging around
I gotta roll on between the ditches?
It's just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go
'Round and around nobody knows
But the highway goes on forever
Oh, that ol' highway goes on forever
Lord, she never would've done it if she hadn't got drunk
Hadn't started running with a travelin' man
If she hadn't started taking those crazy changes
She said, ?Daughter, let me tell you 'bout the travelin' kind
Everywhere they go such a very short time
He'll be long gone before you know it
Oh, he'll be long gone before you know it?
She say never have I known it when it felt so good
Never have I knew it when I knew I could
Never have I done it when it looked so right
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight
This is down in the swampland, anything goes
It's alligator bait and the bars don't close
It's the real thing down in Louisiana
Did you ever see a Cajun when he really got mad
When he really got trouble like a daughter gone bad
It gets real hot down in Louisiana
The stranger better move it or he's gonna get killed
He's gonna have to get it or a shotgun will
It ain't no time for lengthy speeches
Lord, there ain't no time for lengthy speeches
She say, ?Never have I know it when it felt so good
Never have I knew it when I knew I could
Never have I done it when it looked so right
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight?
She say, ?Never have I know it when it felt so good
Never have I knew it when I knew I could
Never have I done it when it looked so right
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight?
It's just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go
'Round and around nobody knows
But the highway goes on forever

Top Emmylou Harris, Green Rolling Hills

(Utah Phillips)
The green rolling hills of West Virginia
Are the nearest thing to heaven that I know
Though the times are sad and drear
And I cannot linger here
They'll keep me and never let me go
My daddy said don't ever be a miner
For a miner's grave is all you'll ever own
'Cause the hard times everywhere
I can't find a dime to spare
These are the worst times I've ever known
So I'll move away into some crowded city
In some northern factory town you'll find me here
Though I'll leave the past behind
I'll never change my mind
These trouble times are more than I can bear
But someday I'll go back to west Virginia
To the green rolling hills I love so well
Yes someday I'll go home
And I know I'll right the wrong
These trouble times will follow me no more
Yes someday I'll go home
And I know I'll right the wrong

Top Emmylou Harris, Easy From Now On

There he goes gone again
Same old story's gotta come to an end
Lovin' him was a one way street
But I'm gettin' off where the crossroads meet
Quarter moon in a ten cent town
It's time for me to lay my heartaches down
Saturday night gonna make myself a name
Take a month of Sundays to try and explain
It's gonna be easy to fill the heart of a thirsty woman
Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man
And I'll be ridin' high in a fandangled sky
It's gonna be easy, it's gonna be easy from now on
Raw as whip but clean as a bone
Soft to touch when you take me home
When the mornin' comes and it's time for me to leave
Don't worry 'bout me, I got a wild card up my sleeve
It's gonna be easy to fill the heart of a thirsty woman
Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man
And I'll be ridin' high in a fandangled sky
It's gonna be easy, it's gonna be easy

Top Emmylou Harris, Defying Gravity

I live on a big blue ball
I never do dream I may fall
But even the day that I do
I'll jump off and smile back at you
I don't even know where we are
But they tell us we're circling a star
Well, I'll take their word I don't know
But I'm dizzy so maybe that's so
I'm riding a big blue ball
I never do dream I may fall
But even the high may lay row

Top Emmylou Harris, Everybody's Talkin'

Everybody's talkin' at me
I don't hear a word their sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
People stop and stare
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin' off of the northeast winds
Sailin' on summer breeze
And skippin' over the ocean like a stone
I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin' off of the northeast winds
Sailin' on summer breeze
And skippin' over the ocean like a stone
Everybody's talkin' at me
Can't hear a word their sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
I won't let you leave my love behind
No, I won't let you leave

Top Emmylou Harris, Fair And Tender Ladies

come all you fair and tender ladies
take warning how you court your men
there like a star on a summer morning
they first appear and then there gone
they'll tell to you some loving story
then they make you think that they love you well
then away they'll go to court some other
and leave you there in grief to dwell
(mandolin break)
i wish i was on some tall mountain
where the ivy rocks are black as ink
i'd write a letter to my false true lover
whose cheeks are like the morning dew
(dorbo and fiddle solo)
oh love is handsome love is charming
and love is pretty while it's new
but love grows cold as love grows old
and fades away like morning dew

Top Emmylou Harris, Golden Cradle

Sweet babe, a golden cradle holds thee
Soft, thy mother's arms enfold thee
Fairest flowers are strew before thee
Sweet birds warble o'er thee
So sleep, my babe, and dream away sorrow
Peace until you wake tomorrow
I will guard thine infant slumber

Top Emmylou Harris, Goodnight Old World

Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning in teardrops
My eyes are so tired of the trouble I've seen
Then you fell from the Heavens right into this sad
place
Remembering God for a while in your dreams
And you look to me now so I greet a new day
With the eyes of a child at the wonder you bring
So goodnight old world
See you tomorrow
We rise with the sun
Fall with the sparrow
But here is this child
To soften the sorrow
Goodnight old world
Old world goodnight
You fell from the Heavens right into this sad place
Remembering God for a while in your dreams
And you look to me now so I greet a new day
With the eyes of a child at the wonder you bring
So goodnight old world
See you tomorrow
We rise with the sun
Fall with the sparrow
But here is this child
To soften the sorrow
Goodnight old world
Old world goodnight
Goodnight old world

Top Emmylou Harris, Gliding Bird

(Tom Slocum)
Gliding bird gliding through the sky
I'm wondering why I can't be why I can't be as free
Gliding bird gliding all day long
Sing your secret song away from all these faces that I see
Is where I want to be
My feet are so tired
They walked too many miles
If I run so wild like heaven's child
I'll learn to fly someday
Gliding bird riding in the sun
Rainbow colors run
I hear the wind
I hear its mournful call
Gliding bird high above the sea
Is it longing to be free
Your voice is silent

Top Emmylou Harris, Gold

Oh, the night is growing colder
And the stars have lost their shine
And I have been forsaken
By everything I thought was mine
For in the darkest hour
When the final story's told
No matter how bright I glittered, baby
I could never be gold
You gave up your finest treasure
For the one you saw in me
But how could I know the measure
Of all you needed me to be
Though I came with sweet intentions
More my pockets could not hold
No matter how bright I glittered, baby
I could never be gold
I finally gave up counting
The ways you said I let you down
When I fell into that river of no return
And you watched me drown
Oh, I could sparkle like a diamond
Have silver line my soul
But no matter how I glittered, baby
I could never be gold
You looked so high and low for heaven
I tried so hard to show the way
But though I flew on wings of angels
My feet were always made of clay
I could come trailing clouds of glory
But you saw nothing to behold
No matter how bright I glittered, baby
I could never be gold
No matter how bright I glittered, baby

Top Emmylou Harris, For A Dancer

Keep the fire burning in your eyes
Pay attention to the open sky
You'll never know what will be coming down
I don't remember losing track of you
You're always dancing in and out of view
I must have thought you would always be around
Always keeping things real by playing the clown
Now you're nowhere to be found
I don't know what happens when people die
Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try
It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear
But I can't sing, I can't help listening
I can't help feeling stupid standing around
Crying is the easier down
'Cause I know that you would rather we'd be dancing
Dancing our sorrow away
No matter what fate throws in your way
Just do the steps that you've been shown
By everyone you've ever known
Until the dance becomes your very own
No matter how close to yours
Another's steps have grown
In the end there is one dance you'll do alone
Keep a fire for the human race
Let your prayers go drifting into space
You'll never know what will be coming down
Perhaps a better world is drawing near
Just as easy it could all disappear
Along with whatever meaning you might have found
Don't let the uncertainty turn you around
Go on and make a joyful sound
Into a dancer you have grown
From a seed somebody else has thrown
Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own
And somewhere between the time you arrive
The time you go may lie a reason you were alive

Top Emmylou Harris, Fugue For The Fox

Call happy calling children are falling
In line to ride on the merry-go-round
People are passing children are laughing
They want to ride on the merry-go-round
Doesn't matter when you came
Every ride is just the same
Do not worry how it's done
There is room for everyone
Carousel turning children are yearning
To ride it forever and never come down
Little one's singing older one's clinging
Everyone riding the merry-go-round
Go round and round and up and down
Round and round they go always reaching for the ring of gold
Never knowing when the music's over they will be old
Call happy calling children are falling
In line to ride on the merry-go-round
People are passing children are laughing
They want to ride on the merry-go-round
Sometimes up and sometimes down
Don't let your feet ever touch the ground
Sometimes right and sometimes wrong
You'll end up where you belong
Sound of their laughter makes the ride faster
Soon the circus stand must come down
Music grows nowhere the ride is over

Top Emmylou Harris, Falling Down

(Patty Griffin)
I'm falling down
I need to sleep
Come a long long way
No time for weepin
No time for weepin
Quiet now I'm falling down
I'm falling down
I have heard
A million tales
I have told
A million more
Some of them
Must have been true
But I don't know anymore
I'm falling down
Do your dance on my head
Heavy steps of the dead
Everything the snow surrounds
Falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling,falling down

Top Emmylou Harris, Farther Along

Tempted and tried we're oft made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested though in the wrong
When death has come and taken our loved ones
It leaves a home so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder why others prosper
Living so wicked year after year
Farther along, we'll know all about it
Farther along, we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by
"Faithful 'til death," said our loving master
A few more days to labor and wait
Toils of the road will then seem as nothing
As we sweep through the beautiful gates
Farther along, we'll know all about it
Farther along, we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by

Top Emmylou Harris, Wrecking Ball

(Neil Young)
My life's an open book, you read it on the radio
We've got no where to hide, we got no where to go
But' if you still decide you want to take a ride
Meet me at the Wrecking ball
Wrecking Ball, I'll wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancing tonight
Meet me at the Wrecking Ball
Wrecking Ball, I'll wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancing tonight
I see smokey eyes right across the bar
I've seen that look before shining from star to star
Though I can't take that change
If you've got time for one dance
The restless line of cars goes stretching down the road
But I won't telephone cause you might say hello
What is it makes me feel this way

Top Emmylou Harris, Raise the Dead

Hank Williams died when I was five
He sang I'll never get out of this world alive
Now it's been a long time since I was that kid
And I've seen a lot more than Hank ever did
I've done the down and out in every dark end dive
But I'll never get out of your love alive
Sam Cook met the woman at the well
She told him that his song was something he could never sell
And I think he knew a change was gonna come
Still he lived too fast and he died too young
Well dyin' young I have survived but I'll never get out of your love alive
I got washed in the blood of Bill Monroe
When he sang about the the blues in the body and soul
He believed in a God that could raise the dead
Still it's a mighty dark night to travel he said
I've seen a mighty dark night and I made that drive
But I'll never get out of your love alive
[ guitar ]
Robert Johnson had a hellhound on his trail
Drove him to the coffin like a hammer and a nail
It takes a powerful man to carry that load
When your tryin' to beat the devil to the old crossroads
I wrestled the devil lived to testify but I'll never get out of your love alive
I'll never get out of your love alive
I'll never get out of your love alive I'll never get out of your love alive

Top Emmylou Harris, Precious Memories

(Traditional)
As I travel down life's pathway
Know not what the years may hold
As I ponder, hope grows fonder
Precious memories flood my soul
Precious father, loving mother
Glide across the lonely years
And old home's scenes of my childhood
Infond memories appears
Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight

Top Emmylou Harris, Rhythm Guitar

Well, she played around town till she opened the show
For a high rollin' singer up from Tupelo
He saw her in the lights and he gave her a hand
Next thing Sally knew she was one of the band
She said don't give me nothin' that I can't use
I got the rhythm and I don't need the blues
I don't wanna ride no shootin' star
Just wanna play on the rhythm guitar
She was the sweetest thing that he ever had seen
And he's had quite a few of them backstage queens
She was the prettiest thing that he ever had heard
Playin' rhythm guitar and singin' the third
She said don't give me nothin' that I can't use
I got the rhythm and I don't need the blues
I don't wanna ride no shootin' star
Just wanna play on the rhythm guitar
Well, Sally keeps her feet planted on the ground
She don't lose her head when the sun goes down
Everybody's out looking for romance
Sally just wants to get the people to dance
She said don't give me nothin' that I can't use
I got the rhythm and I don't need the blues
I don't wanna ride no shootin' star
Just wanna play on the rhythm guitar
She said don't give me nothin' that I can't use
I got the rhythm and I don't need the blues
I don't wanna ride no shootin' star

Top Emmylou Harris, Red Dirt Girl

Me and my best friend Lillian
And her blue tick hound dog Gideon
Sittin' on the front porch coolin' in the shade
Singin' every song the radio played
Waitin' for the Alabama sun to go down
Two red dirt girls in a red dirt town
Me and Lillian
Just across the line
And a little southeast of Meridian
She loved her brother I remember back when
He was fixin' up a '49 Indian
He told her, ?Little sister, gonna ride the wind
Up around the moon and back again"
He never got farther than Vietnam
I was standin' there with her
When the telegram come for Lillian
Now he's lyin' somewhere
About a million miles from Meridian
She said, ?There's not much hope for a red dirt girl
Somewhere out there is a great big world
That's where I'm bound"
"And the stars might fall on Alabama
But one of these days I'm gonna swing
My hammer down"
Away from this red dirt town
I'm gonna make a joyful sound
She grew up tall and she grew up thin
Buried that old dog Gideon
By a crepe myrtle bush in the back of the yard
Her daddy turned mean and her mama leaned hard
Got in trouble with a boy from town
Figured that she might as well settle down
So she dug right in
Across a red dirt line
Just a little south east of Meridian
Yes, she tried hard to love him
But it never did take
Just another way for the heart to break
So she learned [Incomprehensible]
One thing they don't tell you about the blues
When you got 'em
You keep on fallin' 'cause there ain't no bottom
There ain't no end at least not for Lillian
Nobody knows when she started her skid
She was only 27 and she had five kids
Could-a been the whiskey, could-a been the pills
Could-a been the dream she was tryin' to kill
But there won't be a mention in the new little world
About the life and the death of a red dirt girl
Named Lillian
Who never got any farther
Across the line than Meridian
Now the stars still fall on Alabama
Tonight she finally laid
That hammer down without a sound

Top Emmylou Harris, Ordinary Heart

An ordinary heart comes in a plain brown wrapper,
believing in hopes and dreams and happy ever after.
Someone to love is all that really matters to a heart,
an ordinary heart.
An ordinary heart comes with a door that never closes.
Though it's gathering more than its share of thorns among
the roses,
It will tell you that's just the price that life imposes
on a heart,
an ordinary heart.
An ordinary heart could make an art of anything,
pretend or break, mend or ache, forgive and live to sing.
An ordinary heart is just a diamond in the rough.
A diamond after all is made of ordinary stuff.
Memories of lines in rhymes and old love letters,
Moments that shine in time and beats and measures,
No shrine of gold could hold the finer treasures of a
heart
an ordinary heart.
An ordinary heart could make an art of anything,
pretend or break, mend or ache, forgive and live to sing.
An ordinary heart is just a diamond in the rough.

Top Emmylou Harris, One Big Love

Let's take a ride to the seaside
We can go out swimming in the high tide
Just wear your shorts and your long hair
Don't forget the lawn chair
Everybody's gone to the movies
Everybody's gone and it's groovy
They went to the one about the big war
I didn't, I'd seen it before
I guess I'm taking my chances
Giving up the ring throwing in my gloves
I guess I'm taking my chances
Trading in my things for a couple wings
On a little white dove
And one big love, one big love
(One big love, one big love)
Everybody do like a monkey
If you want to go on and be funky
No need to talk like a hero
Take a walk and count down to zero
No sense defending your honor
Just go on and kiss him if you wanna
Everything before is gone
Or going somewhere
I guess I'm taking my chances
Giving up the ring throwing in my gloves
I guess I'm taking my chances
Trading in my things for a couple wings
On a little white dove
And one big love, one big love
(One big love, one big love)
I don't know where we are and I don't care
And now we're out of gas and riding on air
And one big love, one big love
(One big love, one big love)
Let's take a ride to the seaside
We can go out swimming in the high tide
(One big love, one big love, one big love)
Everybody's gone to the movies
Everybody's gone and it's groovy
(One big love, one big love, one big love)
Everybody do like a monkey
If you want to go on and be funky
(One big love, one big love, one big love)
No need to talk like a hero
Take a walk and count down to zero
(One big love, one big love, one big love)
No sense defending your honor
Just go on and kiss him if you wanna
(One big love, one big love, one big love)
One big love
One big love
One big love

Top Emmylou Harris, Pain Of Loving You

Oh the pain of loving you oh the mis'ry I go through
Never knowing what to do oh the pain of loving you
You just can't stand to see me happy seems you hurt me all you can
Still I go on loving you but I'll never understand
Oh the pain of loving you...
[ ac.guitar - steel ]
To love and hate at the same time the line between the two is fine
But too has bound me heart and soul so strong that I can't let you go
Oh the pain of loving you...

Top Emmylou Harris, On The Sea Of Galilee

ydam i solider of the cross
a follower of the lamb
and shall i fear to own his cause
or blush to speak his name
(chours)
on the sea (the sea the sea)
of galilee (of galilee)
my jesus is walking on the sea
on the sea (the sea the sea)
of galilee (of galilee)
my jesus is walking on the sea
nust i be carried to the skies
on flowery beds of ease
while others fought to win the prize
and sailed through bloody seas
(repeat chours)
there shall i bathe my weary soul
in seas of heavenly rest
and not a wave of trouble roll
across my peaceful breast

Top Emmylou Harris, On Our Last Date

(floyd cramer/conway twitty)
It's over our love affair
Too late now I find I care
His sweet love no more I'll share
Now he's gone I'm alone
I was wrong should have known
Took me home on our last date
I search for a single way
To tell him what I had to say
I kissed him watched him walk away
Set him free foolishly destiny misery
Tragedy on our last date
Took the ring from my trembling fingers
Brushed a tear from my baby's eye
Walked away didn't know that
I'd soon miss him so
Guess I was too young to realize
So blind I couldn't see
How much he really meant to me
And that soon he would always be
On my mind in my heart I was blind from the start

Top Emmylou Harris, Get up John

I never thought I'd need you
But now I find I'm wrong
Come on back, sweet mama
Back where you belong
I've rambled over town
To find that I can't win
Come on back and pick me up again
Now, if I lose
(If I lose)
Let me lose
(Let me lose)
I don't care
(I don't care)
How much I lose
If I lose a hundred dollars
While I'm tryin' to win a dime?
My baby, she's got money all the time
Of all the other gals I've known
There's none to take your place
'Cause when I get into a jam
They just ain't in the race
So, now that you're back here
Let's take another round
With you here by my side
Babe, the deal just can't go down
Now, if I lose
(If I lose)
Let me lose
(Let me lose)
I don't care
(I don't care)
How much I lose
If I lose a hundred dollars
While I'm tryin' to win a dime?
My baby, she's got money all the time
Now, if I lose
(If I lose)
Let me lose
(Let me lose)
I don't care
(I don't care)
How much I lose
If I lose a hundred dollars
While I'm tryin' to win a dime?

Top Emmylou Harris, Guess Things Happen That Way

Well, you ask me if I'll forget my baby
I guess I will some day
I don't like it
But I guess things happen that way
You ask me if I'll get along
I guess I will some way
I don't like it
But I guess things happen that way
God gave me that girl to lean on
Then He put me on my own
Heaven help me be a man
And have the strength to stand alone
I don't like it
But I guess things happen that way
You ask me if I'll miss her kisses
I guess I will every day
I don't like it
But I guess things happen that way
You ask me if I'll find another
I don't know, I can't say
I don't like it

Top Emmylou Harris, Waltz Across Texas Tonight

The wind can blow cold, it moans and it cries
When it carries the sound of a thousand goodbyes
But if you listen tonight on that high lonely plain
You'll just hear my voice as it calls out your name
You'll just hear my voice as it calls out your name
You've been on a road that just don't seem to end
Where that broken old heart of yours won't ever mend
You've crossed over bridges and bridges they burn
So many rivers and so much to learn
So many bridges and so much to learn
But the moon is so full, the stars are so bright
And my hand is steady, my touch is light
Look in my eyes, hold on real tight
And I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
We both have known hard luck and love that's gone wrong
When the ghosts take the shadows and the night takes too long
We folded our cards when the hand wasn't strong
But that wheel will keep spinning long after we're gone
Yeah, that wheel will keep spinning long after we're gone
And the moon is so full, the stars are so bright
And my hand is steady, my touch is light
Look in my eyes, hold on real tight
And I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
Look in my eyes, hold on real tight
And I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight

Top Emmylou Harris, Ill Never Fall In Love Again

What do you get when you fall in love?
A girl with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
What do you get when you kiss a girl?
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, she'll never phone ya
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
Don't tell me what it's all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad, I'm not
Out of those chains those chains that bind you
That is why, I'm here to remind you
What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So far at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again

Top Emmylou Harris, Cimarron

Roll along, roll on, rose of Cimarron
Dusty days are gone, rose of Cimarron
Shadows touch the sand and
Look to see who's standing
Waiting at your window
Watching will they ever show
Can you hear them calling
You know they have fallen on
Campfires cold and dark now
Never see a spark burn bright
Roll along, roll on, rose of Cimarron
Dusty days are gone, rose of Cimarron
Trails that got them home
Kept the names they've known
Four days high and lonely
Coming to you only
You're the one they turn to
The only one they knew
If you're all the best to be around
When the chips were down
Roll along, roll on, rose of Cimarron
Dusty days are gone, rose of Cimarron
Roll along, roll on, rose of Cimarron
Dusty days are gone, rose of Cimarron

Top Emmylou Harris, Roses In the Snow [Remastered]

there's a green,green place
where you lift your face
to the sound of the waves and the wind
down by the shore
where my soul does endure
where the Mother Sea ends and begins
take me home
to the sand and the foam
where my dreams walk in the mist
i'll fall to the earth and root like a rose
in the salt land
that gave me my birth
though i wander afar
the same sea,the same stars
still shine to the tears in my eyes
they take me home to a land
that my soul understands
where the heart of the rose never dies
take me home
to the sand and the foam
where my dreams walk in the mist
i'll fall to the earth and root like a rose
in the salt land
that gave me my birth

Top Emmylou Harris, In My Hour Of Darkness

In my hour of darkness in my time of need
Oh Lord, grant me wisdom oh, Lord grant me speed
Once I knew a young man
went driving through the night
miles and miles without a word
but just his high beam lights
Who'd have ever thought they'd build
such a deadly Denver bend
to be so strong, to last so long
as it would till the end.
Another young man safely,
strummed his silver stringed guitar
He played to people ev'rywhere
some say he was a star.
But he was just a country boy,
his simple songs confess
And the music he had in him so very few possess.
But in my hour of darkness ...
The ther was an old man kind and wise with age
And he read me just like a book
never missed a page
And loved him like a father,
and I loved him like my friend
And I knew his time could shortly come
but I did not know just when.

Top Emmylou Harris, In His World

Every night I dream about him
In my world of fantasy
I pretend that we're together
In his world there's a garden in the moonlight
In his world there's a sweet and gentle breeze
In his world, oh he tells me that he loves me
That's where my heart wants to be
I saw a star falls from the heaven
I hope the wish I made comes true
I don't want to live without him
In his world I can see a new tomorrow
In his world where he gives his heart to me
In his world we will share this love together
That's where my heart wants to be
Why must I go on pretending
Why can't I tell him how I feel
These sweet dreams are never ending
And this loneliness is real
I saw a star fall from the heavens
I hope the wish I made comes true
I don't want to live without him
In his world I can see a new tomorrow
In his world where he gives his heart to me
In his world we will share this love together
That's where my heart wants to be
In his world there's a garden in the moonlight
In his world there's a sweet and gentle breeze
In his world, oh he tells me that he loves me

Top Emmylou Harris, J'ai Fait Tout

(Emmylou Harris)
J'ai fait tout, j'ai fait tout
Ce que j'ai pu
J'ai fait tout, j'ai fait tout
Ce que j'ai pu
I have seen some trouble
Been around the way
Rode the streetcar of desire and I paid
And if you want a witness
I will testify
To what I saw through a wandering eye
'Cause nobody loves you like I do
Nobody loves you like I do
Nobody loves you like I do
Nobody loves you like I do
I heard all about it
You don't need an alibi
There was no medicine I did not try
You lost your Mona Lisa
Got burned by Jezebel
You can always draw water from my well
'Cause nobody loves you like I do
Nobody loves you like I do
Nobody loves you like I do
Nobody loves you like I do
J'ai fait tout. j'ai fait tout, j'ai fait tout
I will give everything I am to you
J'ai fait tout, j'ai fait tout.
You know it's true
J'ai fait tout, j'ai fait tout, j'ai fait tout
You can go and leave me
But you'll come back for more
I know where all your old secrets are stored
My history is written
My heart is still pure
You crave redemption and I got the cure
'Cause nobody loves you like I do
Nobody loves you like I do
Nobody laves you like I do
Nobody loves you like I do
J'ai fait tout, j'ai fait tout
Ce que j'ai pu
J'ai fait tout, j'ai fait tout
Ce que j'ai pu

Top Emmylou Harris, In Rodanthe

i remember those nights down in rodanthe
through the storm throug the door thats how you held me
I never knew I was so lost untill you touched me
and i was set free
in the hours when the sky was wild and weaping
you broke me from a secret i'd been keeping
before you there was no love and no beleiving
i was only breathing
untill rodanthe
(chorus)
where the seaguls go soaring in the sun
high above the rugged ponies as they run
and you'd call me like the moon pulls on the tide
to your side
in rodanthe
ohhhhhhhhhhh caroline
where i was you and you were me
ohhhhhhhhh caroline
where we found the only time that truly binds
the mornings come and go here in rodanthe
and in my heart you'll always be there with me
as my journey through this world keeps getting longer
i will be stronger
although i know i must go on without you
every moment in my heart i think about you
oh i still hear those words of love you gave me
when you stayed down in rodanthe
(chorus)
where the seaguls go soaring in the sun
high above the rugged ponies as they run
and you'd call me like the moon pulls on the tide
to your side

Top Emmylou Harris, Juanita

No affection were the words
That stuck on my mind
When she walked out on me
For the very last time
Oh mama, sweet mama
Can you tell me what to say
I don't know what I've done
To be treated this way
In a cold dirty room
That's where I found myself
With a bottle of wine
And some pills off the shelf
Oh mama, sweet mama
Can you tell me what to say
I don't know what I've done
And I'm feeling so ashamed
Then an angel appeared
She was just 17
In a dirty old gown
With a conscious so clean
Oh mama, sweet mama
Can you tell me what to say
She's brought back the life
That I once threw away
She's brought back the life

Top Emmylou Harris, Sweet Dreams (Of You)

Lonely tears roll down
As midnight comes around
But I can make it through
In sweet dreams of you
In the shadow of the night
I still hold you tight
Yes, it all comes true
In sweet dreams of you
In sweet dreams I see
The way things used to be
When your love was mine
And your heart was true
In sweet dreams of you
Oh, I call out your name
And you come to me again
The way you used to do
In sweet dreams of you
In sweet dreams of you

Top Emmylou Harris, Born To Run

Well I never did crawl and I never did toe the line
No man is a master to me, I ain?t that kind
I just put on my travelin? shoes
If you wanna win, you just can?t lose the time
Or stay behind
Well I was born to run, to get ahead of the rest
And all that I wanted was to be the best
Just to feel free and be someone
I was born to be fast, I was born to run
Well, I take the chances for the time I made mistakes
But you don?t get nothin? unless you take the breaks
Livin? as dangerous as dynamite
Sure it makes you feel nervous but it makes you feel alright
Makes you feel alright
Well I was born to run, to get ahead of the rest
And all that I wanted was to be the best
Just to feel free and be someone
I was born to be fast, I was born to run
Nobody gonna make me do things their way
By the time you figure it out, it?s yesterday
Well it comes to he who waits I?m told
But I don?t need it when I?m old and gray
Yeah, I want it today
Well I was born to run, to get ahead of the rest
And all that I wanted was to be the best
Just to feel free and be someone
I was born to be fast, I was born to run
I was born to run, to get ahead of the rest
And all that I wanted was to be the best
Just to feel free and be someone

Top Emmylou Harris, Colors Of Your Heart

Colors of your heart
Like the colors on a pinwheel
Spinning around, turning away
Colors of your eyes
Tell me you're changing
Tell me your leaving
And that it's too late to try
Colors of your heart
Like the places you're going
There's no way of knowing
What did I do so wrong
Diamonds and sand
Slide through your hands
Like you've done through mine
Did I look away
Or did I never say
How I needed you
Colors of your eyes
Like the blues in a bottle
Taking you down

Top Emmylou Harris, Jupiter Rising

Why don't you call me?
Do you think I won't answer?
Jupiter's rising
And the moon is in cancer
You've been down in the hunger, baby
I been around there too
Tonight you could be in the arms of
The arms of a woman who loves you
You got your questions
Maybe I got an answer
Or just the hands of a healer
And the feet of a dancer
Yeah, it's all in the wrists now, baby
And when the aim is true
There'll be no blink of the eyes, baby
The eyes of this woman who loves you
Heaven's getting nearer
Transmission getting clearer now my love
Stars are falling over the ocean
Come on and show a little emotion now my love
Why don't you call me?
You know I'm gonna answer
Temperature's rising
And the moon is in cancer
There's a road you can ride now, baby
Out to that wild and blue
It runs right through the heart of
The heart of this woman who loves you
Yeah, right through the heart of
The heart of this woman who loves you

Top Emmylou Harris, K-s-o-s

Come gather round me boys and lend an ear
I've got some things I think you all should hear
It's time to shift into another gear
I've reached my final destination bought a radio station
And she's fifty thousand watts pure and clear
K-S-O-S help is on the way twenty-four hours of every day
A voice in the wilderness and we're here to stay K-S-O-S
[ guitar - banjo ]
K-S-O-S help is on the way...

Top Emmylou Harris, Little Bird

If I had a bird, a little bird
I would teach that bird to sing your name
Prettiest song that you have ever heard
And your indifferent heart I will claim
So be off, my little bird
Fly away, fly away and when my love you see
Only then, my little bird
Cry away, cry away and bring that heart to me
If I had a moon in the sky
I would light the world and pull the tide
And when the moon is full like my heart
It will surely pull you to my side
But in the darkest night I pine
Pine away, pine away until your face I see
So throw your light my lovely moon
Shine away, shine away and pull his heart to me
If I had a wagon made of gold
Pretty painted horses numbered four
With a silver harness I would hitch them up
And drive that wagon to your door
And if my hand you choose to hold
Ride away, ride away with the pretty horses four
Darlin' if you heart's still cold
Hide away, hide away, I'll trouble you no more

Top Emmylou Harris, The Price You Pay

(Bruce Springsteen)
You make up your mind, you choose the chance you take
You ride to where the highway ends and the desert breaks
Out on through an open road you ride until the day
You learn to sleep at night with the price you pay
Now with their hands held high, they reached out for the open skies
And then with their last breath
They built the roads they would ride to their deaths
Driving on through the night unable to break away
>From the restless pull of the price you pay
Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay
Now you can't walk away from the price you pay
Now they've come so far and they've waited so long
Just to end up caught in a dream where everything goes wrong
Where the dark of night holds back the light of the day
And you gotta stand and fight for the price you pay
Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay
Now you can't walk away from the price you pay
Little girl down on the strand
With that pretty little baby in your hands
Do you remember the story of the Promised land
How he crossed the desert sands
And could not enter the Chosen Land
On the banks of the river he stayed
To face the price you pay
So let the games start
You better run you little wild heart
You can run through all the nights and all the days
But just across the county line
A stranger passin' through put up a sign
That counts so many fallen away
To the price you pay,
Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay
Now you can't walk away from the price you pay
Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay

Top Emmylou Harris, Kern River

I'll never swim Kern River again
It was there that I met him
There that I lost my best friend
Now I live in the mountains
I drifted up here with the wind
And I may drown in still water
But I'll never swim Kern River again
He grew up in an oil town
But that gusher never came in
And the river was a boundary
Where my darling and I used to swim
One night in the moonlight
The swiftness swept his life away
Now I live on Lake Shasta
And Lake Shasta is where I will stay
There's the South San Joaquin
Where the seeds of the dust bowl are found
And there's a place called Mt. Whitney
From where the mighty Kern River comes down
Now it's not deep nor wide
But it's a mean piece of water my friend
And I may cross on the highway
But I'll never swim Kern River again
I'll never swim Kern River again
It was there that I met him
There that I lost my best friend
Now I live in the mountains
I drifted up here with the wind
And I may drown in still water
But I'll never swim Kern River again
I'll never swim Kern River again
It was there that I met him
There that I lost my best friend
Now I live in the mountains
I drifted up here with the wind
And I may cross on the highway
But I'll never swim Kern River again

Top Emmylou Harris, Light Of The Stable

Hail, hail to the newborn king
Let our voices sing him our praises
Hail, hail to the guiding light
That brought us tonight to our savior
Ale, alleluia, alle, alleluia

Come now, there it shines so bright
To the knowing light of the stable
Lean close to the child so dear
Cast aside your fear and the thankful

Top Emmylou Harris, If I needed you

If I needed you would you come to me
Would you come to me for to ease my pain
If you needed me I would come to you
I would swim the seas for to ease your pain
Well the night's forlorn and the morning's born
And the morning shines with the lights of love
And you'll miss sunrise if you close your eyes
And that would break my heart in two
If I needed you would you come to me
Would you come to me for to ease my pain
If you needed me I would come to you
I would swim the seas for to ease your pain
Baby's with me now since I showed her how
To lay her lilly hand in mine
Who would I'll agree she's a sight to see
A treasure for the poor to find
If I needed you would you come to me
Would you come to me for to ease my pain
If you needed me I would come to you

Top Emmylou Harris, Son Of A Rotten Gambler

And his love will be his vision
And he'll take you where you stand
And will you stand your life by his
And help the boy become a man?
And he'd be the son of his father, his father the teacher
Teaching love and honesty, being his own man handler
For the son of the son of run of the mill run
Rotten gambler
Will the devil be getting to you as you look back
Over what you've done?
And what you've done, was it for reason or rhyme?
Was it just for fun?
And he'd be the son of his father, his father the teacher
Teaching love and honesty, being his own man handler
For the son of the son of run of the mill run
Rotten gambler
Back on the road now you can lose your head
There ain't no kingdom for the gambling man
You know the road now and you've made your stand
When his eyes shine upon you, shine upon you
And he'd be the son of his father, his father the teacher
Teaching love and honesty, being his own man handler
For the son of the son of run of the mill run
Rotten gambler
Back on the road now you can lose your head
There ain't no kingdom for the gambling man
You know the road now and you've made your stand
When his eyes shine upon you, shine upon you
And he'd be the son of his father, his father the teacher
Teaching love and honesty, being his own man handler
Or the son of the son of run of the mill run

Top Emmylou Harris, Tennessee Rose

Well, it's a sweet dream that keeps me close to you dear
And it's a sad thing that we're apart, I'm blue dear
And there are times now I thank the heavens up above
When I'm with the one that I love
Now there are diamonds that some may long to see
And they may shine but not bright enough for me
I wouldn't take no, the whole world dipped in gold
For a night with my Tennessee rose
Take this love I am giving for it's truly the lasting kind
The gift I hold is believing that you will always be mine
Take this love that I am giving for it's truly the lasting kind
The gift I hold is believing that you will always be mine

Top Emmylou Harris, Tennessee Waltz

I was dancin' with my darlin to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced him to my darlin' and while they were dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
Now I wonder how a dance like the Tennessee Waltz
Could have broken my heart so complete
Well I couldn't blame my darlin', and who could help fallin'
In love with my darlin' so sweet
Well it must be the fault of the Tennessee Waltz
Wish I'd known just how much it would cost
But I didn't see it comin', it's all over but the cryin'
Blame it all on the Tennessee Waltz
She goes dancin' with the darkness to the Tennessee Waltz
And I feel like I'm falling apart
And it's stronger than drink and it's deeper than sorrow
This darkness she left in my heart
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Cause I know just how much I have lost
Yes I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'

Top Emmylou Harris, Where Will I Be

The streets are cracked and there's glass everywhere
And a baby stares out with motherless eyes
Under long gone beauty on fields of war
Trapped in lament to the poet's core
Oh, where, oh, where will I be?
Oh, where, oh, when that trumpets sounds?
Met an Indian boy in Ottawa
He laid me down on a bed of straw
Said, "Don't waste your breath, don't waste your heart
Don't blister your heels running in the dark"
Oh, where, oh, where will I be?
Oh, where, oh, when that trumpets sounds?
Yeah, I like the heat of your body laying under me
May your wild lip get you where you're going
With your inventions, your intentions, your laughter
Your forever yearning
Oh, where, oh, where will I be?
Oh, where, oh when that trumpets sounds?
I walked to the river and I walked to the rim
I walked through the teeth of the reaper's grin
I walked to you rolled up in wire
To the other side of desire
Oh, where, oh, where will I be?
Oh, where, oh, when that trumpets sounds?
Oh, where, oh, where, oh, where when that trumpet sounds?
Oh, where, oh, where, oh, when that trumpet sounds?
Well, the heart opens wide like it's never seen love
And addiction stays on tight like a glove

Top Emmylou Harris, Just Someone I Used To Know

There's a picture that I carry
One we made sometime ago
When they ask who's in the picture with me
I say just someone I use to know
Just someone I use to spend some time with
Just a flame that lost its glow
And I don't tell them how lost I am without you
I say just someone I use to know
Just someone I use to run around with
Just a friend from long ago
I don't tell them all the nights I cry without you
I say just someone I use to know

Petite fille tout les promesse
Les accroires ca tu m'as fait
Tu connais je peux pas oublier
Que toi mais tu m'as dit
Chere toi tu serais venue
Tu serais venue mais avec moi

Top Emmylou Harris, My Father's House

(Bruce Springsteen)
Last night I dreamed that I was a child
Out where the pines grow wild and tall
I was trying to make it home through the forest
Before the darkness falls
I heard the wind rustling through the trees
And ghostly voices rose from the fields
I ran with my heart pounding down that broken path
With the devil snappin' at my heels
I broke through the trees, and there in the night
My father's house stood shining hard and bright
The branches and brambles tore my clothes and scratched my arms
But I ran till I fell, shaking in his arms
I awoke and I imagined the hard things that pulled us apart
Will never again, sir, tear us from each other's hearts
I got dressed, and to that house I did ride
From out on the road, I could see its windows shining in light
I walked up the steps and stood on the porch
A woman I didn't recognize came and spoke to me through a chained door
I told her my story, and who I'd come for
She said "I'm sorry, son, but no one by that name lives here anymore"
My father's house shines hard and bright
It stands like a beacon calling me in the night
Calling and calling, so cold and alone

Top Emmylou Harris, Mystery Train

Train arrive 16 coaches long
Train arrive 16 coaches long
Well, that long black train
Took my baby back home
Train train, rolling round the bend
Train train, rolling round the bend
Well, it took my baby
Away from me again
Went down to the station
To meet my baby at the gate
Ask the station master
If her train is running late
He said no if your wait
On that old 44
I hate to tell you son
But that train don't stop her anymore
Train train, rolling round the bend
Train train, rolling round the bend
Well, it took my baby
Away from me again
Heard that whistle blowing
It was the middle of the night
When I got down to the station
The train was rolling out of site
Mystery train, rolling round the bend
Mystery train, rolling round the bend
Well, it took my baby

Top Emmylou Harris, Sweethearts Of The Pines

Well, I used to roll and I used to ramble
Out on the wilder side of town
Every night I hear the bright lights calling
I never thought I could ever settle down
Well, I seen a whole lot of pain and trouble
In this lonesome life of mine
But you gave me love and you gave it double
And I'll always be your sweetheart of the pines
I'll always be your little sweetheart of the pines
Now you searched the dark side of the mountain
Just to find what you thought true love should be
But you found a heart that you never knew [unverified]
When you got around to the other side of me
Well, I seen a whole lot of pain and trouble
In this lonesome love of mine
But you gave me love and you gave it double
And I'll always be your sweetheart of the pines
I'll always be your little sweetheart of the pines
Now you make me feel lovesick, darlin'
The way I did back when my heart was young
But I'm young enough to start all over
And old enough to show you how it's done
Well, I seen a whole lot of pain and trouble
In this lonesome life of mine
But you gave me love and you gave it double
And I'll always be your sweetheart of the pines

Top Emmylou Harris, Today I Started Loving You Again

Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
Then today I started loving you again
What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I've cried
I should've known the worst was yet to come
And the crying time for me had just begun
'Cause today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend

Top Emmylou Harris, When I Was Yours

In a lonely room, waiting for the night to fall
I hear your voice in every whip-poor-will that calls
And it takes me back to a better place and a sweeter time
When I was your's and you were mine
As the shadows fall and the light grows dim I see your face
I close my eyes and feel the warmth of your embrace
As I long for you and for all those days when hearts entwined
When I was your's and you were mine
When I was your's and you were mine
When I was your's and you were mine, a truer love in Caroline
Ever waltzed across these hills and danced beneath the stars
Life was sweeter than the flowers blooming on the vine
When I was your's and you were mine
So I lay my head on a pillow soft and stained with tears
I cry for you through all the long and lonely years
But when I dream till the morning sun comes to shine
Then I'll be your's and you'll be mine
Yes, I will go back to a better place and a sweeter time

Top Emmylou Harris, I'll Be Your Baby Tonight

(Bob Dylan)
Close your eyes, close the door,
You don't have to worry any more.
I'll be your baby tonight.
Shut the light, shut the shade,
You don't have to be afraid.
I'll be your baby tonight.
Well, that mockingbird's gonna sail away,
We're gonna forget it.
That big, fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon,
But we're gonna let it,
You won't regret it.
Kick your shoes off, do not fear,
Bring that bottle over here.

Top Emmylou Harris, Tulsa Queen

I heard the train
In the Tulsa night
Calling out my name
Looking for a fight
But she's come a long, long way
Got a longer way to go
So tell me how a train from Tulsa
Has got a right to know
When she sings a song
So sad and high
And the Tulsa Queen
Queen don't ever lie
And she don't care where she goes
Don't care where she's been
And the Tulsa Queen ain't crying
'Cause I won't see you again
And I want to ride
Like a Tulsa Queen
Calling out to you
Like she calls to me
As far away from Tulsa
As these ten wheels can be
Lately I speak
Your name too loud
Each time it comes up in a crowd
And I know it when I do
The Tulsa Queen and you

Top Emmylou Harris, Wheels

We've all got wheels to take ourselves away
We've got the telephones to say what we can't say
We all got higher and higher every day
Come on wheels take this boy away
We're not afraid to ride
We're not afraid to die
So come on wheels take me home today
Come on wheels take this boy away
And when I feel my time is almost up
And destiny is in my right hand
I'll turn to him who made my faith so strong
Come on wheels make this boy a man
We're not afraid to ride
We're not afraid to die
So come on wheels take me home today
Come on wheels take this boy away

Top Emmylou Harris, Even Cowgirls Get The Blues

(Rodney Crowell)
She's a rounder I can tell you that
She can sing 'em all night, too
She'll raise hell about the sleep she lost
But even cowgirls get the blues
Especially cowgirls, they're the gypsy kind
And need their laid on 'em loose
She's lived to see the world turned upside down
Hitchin' rides out of the blues
But even cowgirls get the blues sometimes
Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin' like she's too far gone
The only way she's ever been
Lonely nights are out there on the road
Motel ceiling stares you down
There must be safer ways to pay your dues
But even cowgirls get the blues
Even cowgirls get the blues sometime
Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin' like she's too far gone
The only way she's ever been
Even cowgirls get the blues sometime
Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin' like the restless wind

Top Emmylou Harris, Walls Of Time

Who!
The wind is blowing across the mountain
Down on the valley way below
It sweeps the grave of my darling
When I die that's where I want to go
Lord send the angels for my darling
And take him to that home on high
I'll wait my time out here on earth, love
And come to you when I die
I hear a voice out in the darkness
It calls and whispers through the pines
I know it's my sweetheart a calling
I hear him through the walls of time
Lord send the angels for my darling
And take him to that home on high
I'll wait my time out here on earth, love
And come to you when I die
Our names are carved upon a tombstone
I promised you before you died
Our love would bloom forever darling
When we rest side by side
Lord send the angels for my darling
And take him to that home on high
I'll wait my time out here on earth, love

Top Emmylou Harris, Hickory Wind

In South Carolina, there are many tall pines
I remember the oak tree, that we used to climb
But it makes me feel better each time it begins
Callin' me home Hickory Wind
I started out younger at most everything
All the riches and pleasures, what else could life bring
But now when I'm lonesome, I always pretend
That I'm gettin' the feel of Hickory Wind
It's a hard way to find out that trouble is real
In a far away city with a far away feel
But it makes me feel better each time it begins
Callin' me home Hickory Wind

Top Emmylou Harris, Everytime You Leave

Every time you leave
You tear the soul from me
I die a little more
Each time part
I can't control my dreams
My heart can't seem to learn
To turn and lock its door
When you return
I know that you'll come back again
As soon as you get blue
And I know what will happen then
One kiss and I'll give in to you
Every time you leave
You tear the soul from me
But I want to live so I'll forgive
Every time you leave
Every time you leave
You tear the soul from me
But I want to live so I'll forgive

Top Emmylou Harris, Save The Last Dance For Me

You can dance every dance with the girl
Who gives you the eye, let her hold you tight
You can smile every smile for the girl
Who?d like to treat you right ?neath the pale moonlight
But don?t forget who?s takin? you home
And in who?s arms you?re gonna be
Oh, darlin?, save the last dance for me
Oh I know that the music?s fine like sparklin? wine
Go and have your fun
Dance and sing but while we?re apart
Don?t give your heart to anyone
And don?t forget who?s takin? you home
And in who?s arms you?re gonna be
Oh, darlin?, save the last dance for me
You can dance go and carry on
Till the night is gone and it?s time to go
If she asks if you?re all alone
Can she take you home, you must tell her no
And don?t forget who?s takin? you home
And in who?s arms you?re gonna be
Oh, darlin?, save the last dance for me
And don?t forget who?s takin? you home
And in who?s arms you?re gonna be

Top Emmylou Harris, Rough And Rocky

(Charles Justice/Shoji Tabuchi)
Darlin' I have come to tell you
Tho' it almost breaks my heart
But before the mornin', darlin'
We'll be many miles apart
Don't this road look rough and rocky
Don't that sea look wide and deep
Don't my baby look the sweetest
When he's in my arms asleep
Can't you hear the nightbird's cryin'
Far across the deep blue sea
While others you are thinking
Won't you sometimes think of me
Don't this road look rough and rocky
Don't that sea look wide and deep
Don't my baby look the sweetest
When he's in my arms asleep
One more kiss before I leave you
One more kiss before we part
You have caused me lots of trouble
Darlin', you have broke my heart
Don't this road look rough and rocky
Don't that sea look wide and deep
Don't my baby look the sweetest
When he's in my arms asleep

Top Emmylou Harris, Sorrow In The Wind

(Jean Ritchie)
I hear the soft wind sighing
In every bush and tree
The sound of my heart crying
When you are far from me
When we're apart, my darlin'
There's sorrow in the wind
When we're apart, my darlin
Sweet sorrow in the wind
You leave me in the morning
Your footsteps die away
Tho' not a leaf is stirring
I hear the wind all day
When we're apart, my darlin'
There's sorrow in the wind
When we're apart, my darlin'
Sweet sorrow in the wind
They say when love grows older
It dies and fades away
Yet all our life together
One ever brightening day
When we're apart, my darlin'
There's sorrow in the wind
When we're apart, my darlin'
Sweet sorrow in the wind
When we're apart, my darlin'
There's sorrow in the wind
When we're apart, my darlin'
Sweet sorrow in the wind

Top Emmylou Harris, Sister's Coming Home

Sister's comin' home
Mama's gonna let her sleep whole day long
Whole day long
Sister's comin' home
Mama's gonna let her sleep whole day long
Sister's comin' home
Mama don't like the man that done her wrong
Done her wrong
Sister's comin' home
Mama don't like the man that done her wrong
Down at the local beer joint
Dancin' to the rock n' roll
Sister likes to do it, Lord
Sister likes to move her soul
Down at the local beer joint
Dancin' on the hardwood floor
Her jeans fit a little bit tighter
Than they did before
Than they did before
Than they did before
Her jeans fit a little bit tighter
Than they did before
She likes to move her soul
She likes to move her soul
Sister likes to do it, Lord
Sister likes to move her soul
Sister's comin' home
Mama don't like the man that done her wrong
Done her wrong
Sister's comin' home
Mama don't like the man that done her wrong
And the mirror's gonna tell her
How long she's been gone
Sister's comin' home
Sister's comin' home
Sister's comin' home
Sister's comin' home
Sister's comin' home
Sister's comin' home

Top Emmylou Harris, A River For Him

I crossed on the river
There'll be no returning
I crossed all the bridges
I watched them all burning
And now I'm a stranger
To a strange land I'm driven
Where all is forgotten
And nothing's forgiven
But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'll ever swim
The heart it will harden
The sorrow will dim
But I cried a river
A river for him
I think of him now
On the road I am taking
And wonder how long
His heart will be breaking
But he'll never hear when
The teardrops are falling
Or the sound of my voice
And the name I'm calling
But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'll ever swim
The heart it will harden
The sorrow will dim
But I cried a river
A river for him
So weep for the sons
And the dear darling daughters
For the passing of time
And the parting of waters
For all who have passed through
This world long before me
To a far distant shoreline
Where no one waits for me
But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'll ever swim
The heart it will harden
The sorrow will dim
But I cried a river

Top Emmylou Harris, They'll Never Take His Love From Me

(Leon Payne)
If today the sun should set on all my hopes and cares
There is one whose smiling face the gods would see
'Cause he'll walk along beside me up those golden stairs
Oh, they'll never take his love from me
Well, I thought I'd make him happy if I stepped aside
But I knew his love would never set me free
And even on the day he took another to be his bride
I said they'll never take his love from me
I'm so thankful for each golden hour of happiness
That we shared together in the used to be
Someone else's arms may hold him now in fond caress
But they'll never, never take his love from me
What a fool I was to go break the trust he gave
And to see his love turn into sympathy
It's the one regret I'll carry with me to my grave

Top Emmylou Harris, You'll Never Be The Sun

You'll never be the sun turning in the sky
And you won't be the moon above us on a moonlit night
And you won't be the stars in heaven although they burn so bright
But even on the deepest ocean you will be the light
You may not always shine as you go barefoot over stone
You might be so long together or you might walk alone
And you won't find that love comes easy but that love is always right
So even when the dark clouds gather you will be the light
And if you lose the part inside
When loves turns round on you leaving the past behind
Is knowing you'll do like you always do holding you blind keeping you true
[ guitar ]
You'll never be the sun...

Top Emmylou Harris, You Made A Memory Of Me

I see a million old memories each day
That remind me of what used to be
My aching heart tells me they are here to stay
Since you made a memory of me
I tossed and I turned night after night
Those memories just won't let me sleep
The flame in my heart is still burning bright
Though you made a memory of me
I passed by the house we once loved in
For a glimpse of what I thought was our dream
But these days I find the dream was all mine
'Cos you made a memory of me
I passed by the house we once loved in
For a glimpse of what I thought was our dream
But these days I find the dream was all mine

Top Emmylou Harris, You're Running Wild

You're running wild
How long can this go on?
You're leaving me alone
Stop running wild
You're always gone
My love you'll never change
It's more than I can bear
Stop running wild
You'll settle down someday
And find I've gone away
You'll think of what you've done
While running wild
You can't go home
You'll have to change your ways
You'll have to go or stay

Top Emmylou Harris, You're Gonna Change

You wore out a brand new trunk
Packin' and unpackin' all your junk
Your mama's mad, she done got peeved
You're gonna change or I'm gonna leave
Well, this ain't right and that is wrong
You just keep naggin' all the day long
It's gonna stop, I don't mean please
Now you're gonna change or I'm gonna leave
The way to keep a woman happy and her do what's right
Is love her every mornin' and do the same at night
Your mama's mad, she done got peeved
You're gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave
Every time you get mad
You pack your rags and go back to what you had
You tell her lies she don't believe
You're gonna change or I'm gonna leave
You're gonna change your way of livin'
Change the things you do
Stop doin' all the things that you aughten too
Your mama's mad, she done got peeved
You're gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave

Top Emmylou Harris, WILDFLOWERS

The hills were alive with wildflowers and I was as wild even wilder than they
For at least I could run they just died in the sun and I refused to just wither in place
Just a wild mountain rose needing freedom to grow
So I ran fearing up where I'd go
When a flower grows wild it can always survive wildflowers don't care where they grow
And the flowers I knew in the fields where I grew
Were content to be lost in the crowd
They were common and close I had no room for growth
And I wanted so much to branch out
So I uprooted myself from home ground and left
Took my dreams and I took to the road
When a flower grows wild it can always survive wildflowers don't care where they grow
[ ac.guitar ]
I grew up fast and wild and I never felt right in a garden so different from me
I just never belonged I just longed to be gone so the garden one day set me free
I hitched a ride with the wind and since he was my friend
I just let him decide where we'd go
When a flower grows wild it can always survive wildflowers don't care where they grow
Just a wild mountain rose seeking mist'ries untold no regret for the path that chose
When a flower grows wild it can always survive wildflowers don't care where they grow
Mhm hm hm mhm...

Top Emmylou Harris, Who Will Sing For Me

I often sing, for those I love
Who go to live, with Christ above
No more on earth, their forms I'll see
When I am gone, who'll sing for me
Who'll sing for me, when I am gone
And it won't be long, 'til (when) I'll see
When I am gone, who'll sing for me
'Til I too, must say goodbye
Just over there, with Christ I'll be
Get all my friends, to sing for me
Who'll sing for me, when I am gone
As I so oft, for friends have done
And it won't be long, 'til (when) I'll see

Top Emmylou Harris, Wondering

Wondering, wondering who's kissing you
Wondering, wondering if you're wondering too
Every hour through the day since you went away
I keep wondering, yes, wondering if you're wondering too
I pray every night to the good Lord above
To send back to me the one I really love
Wondering, wondering who's kissing you
Wondering, wondering if you're wondering too
Every hour through the day since you went away
I keep wondering, yes, wondering if you're wondering too
I pray every night to the good Lord above
To send back to me the one I really love
Wondering, wondering who's kissing you
Wondering, wondering if you're wondering too
Every hour through the day since you went away

Top Emmylou Harris, Woman Walk The Line

Don't bother sittin' at my table
Just because I'm on my own
Yes, I'm a woman and I'm lonely
But that don't mean I can't be strong
Once again he's not beside me
And tonight he won't be coming home
So I just need a place to miss my baby
When he goes out to do me wrong
Tonight I wanna do some drinkin'
I came to listen to the band
Yes, I'm as good as what you're thinkin'
But I don't wanna hold your hand
And I know I'm lookin' lonely
But there's nothin' here I wanna find
It's just the way of a woman
When she goes out to walk the line
Every night's a little longer
Than the one that came before
But when I hear them sing a sad song
I know just what I'm cryin' for
I don't wanna stay home waitin'
Don't have to wonder where he's been
He'll be someone else's baby

Top Emmylou Harris, WHITE LINE

It seems like I was there from the start
A witness to your wild and reckless heart
You showed me the way but now you're gone
Quicker than the trigger of an outlaw's gun
Living fast and dying young
A victim of this road you left me on
White line took my baby
Led him down that dark highway
Headlight blind, driving crazy
If my wheels keep turning
Gonna roll that white line away
We worked the road as hard as we could drive her
But now I am the only survivor
From night to night at every place I play in
The sweetness of your song remains
I'll be the keeper of the flame
'Til every soul hears what your heart was saying
White line took my baby
Led him down that dark highway
Headlight blind, driving crazy
If my wheels keep turning
Gonna roll that white line away
All the nights you spent alone
All the love I'd never shown
All the words I could not say
Till that white line took you away
White line took you away
I'll follow this white line down where it's winding
'Cause somewhere up ahead your light's still shining
The sound of the silver strings will guide me
I've stood and watched the bridges burn
I'm past the point of no return
Oh, how I wish that you were here beside me
White line took my baby
Led him down that dark highway
Headlight blind, driving crazy
If my wheels keep turning
Gonna roll that white line away
White line took my baby
Led him down that dark highway
Headlight blind, driving crazy
If my wheels keep turning
Gonna roll that white line away
White line took my baby

Top Emmylou Harris, Where Could I Go But To The Lord

(J. B. Coats)
Living below in this old sinful world
Hardly a comfort can afford
Striving alone to face temptations call
Where could I go to the Lord
Where could I go where could I go
Seeking a refuge for my soul
Needing a friend to help me in the end
Where could I go to the Lord
Neighbors are fun I love 'em everyone
We get along in sweet accord
But when I pass the chilling hand of death
Where could I go to the Lord
Where could I go where could I go
Seeking a refuge for my soul
Needing a friend to help me in the end
Where could I go to the Lord
Life here is grand with friends I love so well
Comfort I get from God's own Word
But when my soul needs manna from above
Where could I go to the Lord
Where could I go where could I go
Seeking a refuge for my soul
Needing a friend to help me in the end
Where could I go to the Lord
Where could I go where could I go
Seeking a refuge for my soul
Needing a friend to help me in the end
Where could I go to the Lord

Top Emmylou Harris, Boy From Tupelo

You don't love me, this I know
Don't need a Bible to tell me so
I hung around a little too long
I was good but now I'm gone
Like the buffalo
That boy from Tupelo
Anyway the wind can blow
That's where I'm gonna go
I'll be gone like a Five and Dime
It'll be the perfect crime
Just ask the boy from Tupelo
He's the king and he oughta know
The shoulder I've been leanin' on
Is the coldest place I've ever known
There's nothin' left for me 'round here
Looks like it's time to disappear
Like the buffalo
That boy from Tupelo
The old wall down in Jericho
Maybelle on the radio
I'll be gone like the Five and Dime
It'll be the perfect crime
Just ask the boy from Tupelo
He's the king and he oughta know
You don't love me, this I know
Don't need a Bible to tell me so
But it's a shame and it's a sin
Everything I could've been to you
Your last chance Texaco
Your sweetheart of the rodeo
A Juliet to your Romeo
The border you cross into Mexico
I'll never understand why or how
Oh, but, baby, it's too late now
Just ask the boy from Tupelo

Top Emmylou Harris, Bobbie's Gone

Beneath her clothes her heart is breaking
Spends her mornings making lines
Though her pain is real and aching
All she owns are borrowed lines
Doesn't know which side to be on
Though she's trying every door
Only needs the floor she sleeps on
All she asks is a little more time
Bobbie's gone to California
I won't see her anymore
Bobbie's gone to California
Like she did the year before
And the year before
The day she left her shirt was clinging
To her back wet with rain
I watched her leave heard her singing
A song she wrote when Christmas came
Bobbie's young but getting older
The face she shows is not her own
Winter's near it's getting colder
California's called her home again
Bobbie's gone to California
I won't see her anymore
Bobbie's gone to California
Like she did the year before
And the year before
The mirror gives back no reflection
Of shadow she will not see
It understands she needs protection
Of what she swears she has to be
Bobbie's nights are empty tables
Hold her 'til she's made to leave
Bobbie's dreams are empty fables
She makes herself believe
To be free
Sometimes she cried because of visions
Of what she loved had all been sold
There's not much left no one to listen
To the echoes that she holds
How could I tell her when she's fading
She run out of a place to be
There will be no one waiting
For the poetry of her soul
I won't see her anymore
Bobbie's gone to California
Like she did the year before

Top Emmylou Harris, Can You Hear Me Now

Oh, the walls are closing in
I can feel it in my bones
Like water risin' up to my chin
Another long night to be alone
I could go out on the town
Talk too much and laugh too loud
If I'm already on my way down
I might as well just work the crowd
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me now
Oh, the stories I could tell
Sometimes I really hit my stride
We make our own heaven and our own hell
Tryin' to get across to the other side
But everyday ends up the same
One step up, two steps back
Like some old silent movie frame
Zoom in close, then fade to black
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me now
How did the load get to be so heavy
I used to wear my trouble like a crown
A bad flood's poundin' on the levee
And I'm gonna need some help to hold my ground
But I'm sinkin' like a stone
To where in solitude this life I'll spend
In the coldest place I've ever known
I'm here just waitin' until the end
I send out my SOS
A message in a bottle set out to sea
It just reads, "Soul in distress"
And nobody ever got back to me
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me now

where labor camps are filled with worried men with broken dreams
californa cottonfields
as close to welath as daddy ever came
well almost everything we had was sold or left behind
from my daddy's plow to the fruit that mama canned
and some folks came to say farewell and see what all we had to sell
and some just came to shake my daddy's hand
well the Model A was loaded down and californa bound
and a change of luck was just four days away
but the only change that i remember seeing for my daddy
was when his dark hair turned to silver gray

Top Emmylou Harris, Child Of Mine

Although you see the world
Different from me,
Sometimes I can touch upon
The wonders that you see.
All the new colors
And pictures you've designed.
Oh, yes sweet darling,
So glad you are a child of mine,
Child of mine,
Child of mine,
Oh, yes sweet darling,
So glad you are a child of mine.
You don't need directions,
You know which way to go
And I don't want to hold you back,
I just want to watch you grow.
You're the one who taught me
You don't have to look behind.
Oh, yes sweet darling,
So glad you are a child of mine,
Child of mine,
Child of mine,
Oh, yes sweet darling,
So glad you are a child of mine.
Nobody's gonna kill your dreams
Or tell you how to live your life.
There'll always be people to make it hard for a while
But you'll change their heads when they see you smile.
The times you were born in
May not have been the best,
But you can make the times to come
Better than the rest,
I know you will be honest
If you can't always be kind,
Oh, yes sweet darling,
So glad you are a child of mine,
Child of mine,
Child of mine,
Oh, yes sweet darling,
So glad you are a child of mine.
Oh, yes sweet darling,
So glad you are a child of mine,
Child of mine,
Child of mine,
Oh, yes sweet darling,

Top Emmylou Harris, Casey's Last Ride

Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking
down
The stairway to the subway and the shadows down below
Following the footsteps through the neon darkened
corridors
Of silent desperation,never speaking to a soul
The poison air he's breathing has a dirty smell of
dieing
Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt
the rain
Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes
Of the clicking of the turnstile and the rattle of his
chains
she said Casey it's been so long since i've seen you
Here she said Just a kiss to make a body smile
See, she said I've put on new stockings just to please
Lord she said Casey can you only stay awhile
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the
golden crown
For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his
bones
Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely
Who reach for anything they can to keep from going home
Standing in the corner,Casey drinks his pint of bitter
Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by
He stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the
reason
Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in
his eye
Oh, she said I suppose that you seldom think about me
Now, she said Now that you've a family of your own
Still she said It's so blessed and good to feel your
body

Top Emmylou Harris, Broken Man's Lament

I was once a broken man
I was once a broken fool
Lost my wife and children
To one basic broken rule
Now I live my life in silence
Though I'm not quite in a shell
I drink and listen to that song
'A Whiter Shade of Pale', oh
A Whiter Shade of Pale
I was a good shade tree mechanic
So I sent myself to school
They smoothed out my rough edges
In my hands they put new tools
The instructor, once he told me
I could work on any line
I could tune to make a diesel sing
Just like Patsy Cline, oh
Just like Patsy Cline
Well, I met my wife to be
Through my mother's best friend's son
She'd been a barroom singer
She was as good as anyone
But I asked her to stop singing
And the girl, she did not flinch
Next day she went and bought that man
A brand new crescent wrench, oh
A brand new crescent wrench
We had three fine children
As eight years went on by
And earned a supervising line
My knuckles stayed bone dry
But after supper I kept hearing her
By the kitchen radio
Singing sweet but desperate harmony
A little bit too low, oh
A little bit too low
She left three months later
I'd just come home for lunch
Note said "Easy come, hard go
I still love you so much"
She said, "I don't know if I'll be there
Or if you'll want me when I come
But if and when that happens, dear
You'd better let my sweet dream run", oh
Let my sweet dream run
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
I was a good shade tree mechanic
So I sent myself to school
They smoothed out my rough edges
In my hand they put new tools
The instructor once he told me
I could work on any line
But now my diesels ain't the only thing
That sing like Patsy Cline, oh
Sing like Patsy Cline
I was once a broken man
I was once a broken fool
Lost my wife and children
To one basic broken rule
Now I live my life in silence
Though I'm not quite in a shell
I drink and listen to that song
'A Whiter Shade of Pale', oh
A Whiter Shade of Pale, oh
A Whiter Shade of Pale, oh

Top Emmylou Harris, Cajun Born

i was born on the bayou
thirty miles of Layfayette
my daddy was a cajun man
lord he tought us how to plow
i remember mama's breakfast
cush cush and a kaye
being served on a banyee
oh i wish i had some now
i'm a cajun born
i'm a cajun bred
when i die
i'm a cajun dead
if i die in Alaska
if i die in Ohio
this soul will find its way back to the bayou
we went to church every sunday
we had a french speaking preacher man
joked about the preacher man
cause we thought he wore a dress
after church we had a party
we played the music on the phonograph
we had a man singing jole blan
made a sinner out of me
(repeat chours)
when i'm ready to be married
i'm going to be this cajun lady

wherever fortune takes me
if it makes me or it breaks me
its memories will forsake me
louisiana on my mind

Top Emmylou Harris, C'est La Vie

(chuck berry)
It was a teenage wedding
And the old folks wished them well
You could see that pierre
Did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame
Have rung the chapel bell
"c'est la vie", say the old folks
It goes to slow you never can tell
They furnished off an apartment
With a two room roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammed
With t.v. dimmers and ginger ale
But when pierre found work
The little money comin' worked out well
"c'est la vie", say the old folks
It goes to show you never can tell
They had a hi-fi phono
Boy did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records
All rockin' rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down
The rapid tempo of the music fell
"c'est la vie", say the old folks
It goes to show you never can tell
They bought a souped-up jitney
T'was a cherry-red fifty nine
They drove it down to new orleans
To celebrate their anniversary
It was there that pierre
Was wedded to the lovely mad'moiselle
"c'est la vie", say the old folks

Top Emmylou Harris, You Don't Know Me

You give your hand to me and then you say hello
And I can hardly speak, my heart is beating so
And anyone could tell, you think you know me well
But you don't know me
No, you don't know the one, who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight
Oh I'm just a friend that's all I've ever been
'Cause 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 go by
The chance that you might love me too
You know, I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too
You give your hand to me and then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away and in my heart I cry
You'll never never know the one who loves you so

Top Emmylou Harris, The Light

I see the light
I see the light at the end of the tunnel
I see the light and it's burnin' bright
I see the light, it's the light at the end that I run to
And the light, darlin' is you
In the lonely heart of darkness
I have stumbled and I have strayed
Always searchin' but never finding
A ray of sunlight to guide my way
I see the light
I see the light at the end of the tunnel
I see the light and it's burnin' bright
I see the light, it's the light at the end that I run to
And the light, darlin' is you
I have traveled down this highway
Of hope abandoned and broken dreams
An unbeliever my faith was shaken
By all the sorrow I had seen
But I see the light
I see the light at the end of the tunnel
I see the light and it's burnin' bright
I see the light, it's the light at the end that I run to
And the light, darlin' is you

Top Emmylou Harris, Green Pastures

(Brian Ahern)
Troubles and trials often betray those
On in the weary body to stray
But we shall walk beside the still waters
With the Good Shepherd leading The Way
Those who have strayed were sought by The Master
He who once gave His life for the sheep
Out on the mountain still He is searching
Bringing them in forever to keep
Going up home to live in green pastures
Where we shall live and die never more
Even The Lord will be in that number
When we shall reach that Heavenly Shore
We will not heed the voice of the stranger
For he would lead us to despair
Following on with Jesus our savior
We shall all reach that country so fair
Going up home to live in green pastures
Where we shall live and die never more
Even The Lord will be in that number

Top Emmylou Harris, Beneath Still Waters

Beneath still waters
There?s a strong undertow
The surface won?t tell you
What the deep water knows
Darling, I?m saying
I know something?s wrong
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone
Even a fool could see
That you?ll soon be leaving me
But each and every heart
Must take it?s turn at misery
And this time it?s me
And I?ll cry alone
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone
Even a fool could see
That you?ll soon be leaving me
But each and every heart
Must take it?s turn at misery
And this time it?s me
And I?ll cry alone
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone
Beneath still waters

Top Emmylou Harris, Jersusalem Tomorrow

(David Olney)
Man you should have seen me way back then
I could tell a tale, I could make a spin
I could tell you black was white I could tell you day was night
Not only that I could tell you why
Back then I could really tel a lie
Well I'd hire a kid to say he was lame
Then I'd touch him and make him walk again
Then I'd pull some magic trick I'd pretend to heal the sick
I was takin' everything they had to give
It wasn't all that bad a way to live
Well I'm in this desert town and it's hot as hell
But no one's buyin' what I got to sell
I make my lame kid walk I make a dumb guy talk
I'm preachin' up a storm both night and day
But everyone just turns and walks away
Well I can see that I'm only wasting time
So I head across the road to drink some wine
This old man comes up to me He says I seen you on the street
You're pretty good if I do say myself
But the guy that come thru here last month he was somethin' else
Instead of callin' out for fire from above
He just gets real quiet and talks about love
And I'll tell you somethin' funny He didn't want nobody's money
Now I'm not exactly sure what this all means
But it's the damndest thing I swear I've ever seen
Well since that time every town is the same
I can't make a dime, I don't know why I came
I decide I'll go and find him And find out who's behind him
He has everyone convinced that he's for real
Well I figure we can work us out a deal
So he offers me a job and I say fine
He says I'll get paid off on down the line
Well I guess I'll string along Don't see how too much can go wrong
As long as he pays my way I guess I'll follow
We're headed for Jerusalem tomorrow

Top Emmylou Harris, I Hear A Call

I hear a call, now will I answer?
Forsake my all to serve another
Though darkness falls stay a believer
I hear a call, now will I answer?
I see a light, now will I follow?
Fill up this life that grows more hollow
Make joy reside where there lives sorrow
I see a light, now will I follow?
I hear a call
From out of nowhere
And from everywhere I go
I hear a call, now will I answer?
I feel a touch, now will I hold on?
Be there with love for those with no one
With a kindness such, it lives though I'm gone
I feel a touch, now will I hold on?
I hear a call
From out of nowhere
And from everywhere I go
I see a light, now will I follow
I feel a touch, now will I hold on?

Top Emmylou Harris, Thanks To You

Well goodness is it really real
It would take a baby child to know the way I feel
On my flutter in the blue
I would take the credit but it's thanks to you
Oh yeah I'm a sinner
And I ain't some beginner
I'll uncork a pint of trouble
And sit down and drink a double
I'm thirsty for somethin' lighter
That'll get me even tighter
And tighter until one day
I think, I hear angels play
Goodness is it really real
It would take a baby child to know the way I feel
On my flutter in the blue
I would take the credit but it's thanks to you
Now someday up in glory
Well I'll weep and tell the story
To someone who will smile and say
"You're a mess but you're my child"
Goodness is it really real
It would take a baby child to know the way I feel

It would take a baby child to know the way I feel
On my flutter in the blue
I would take the credit but it's thanks to you
Well goodness is it really real
It would take a baby child to know the way I feel
On my flutter in the blue

Top Emmylou Harris, Lovin' You Again

(Roger Ferris)
You call me from a phone booth with tears in your voice
Tell me you've been out all night runnin' with the boys
You say you're cold and tired and lonely
And you got no place to go
There wasn't any phonebook
Mine's the only number that you know
Well call yourself a taxi and I'll pay 'im at the door
If you don't mind sleepin' on the sofa or on the floor
And I spend an hour hatin' you
'Til the cab pulls in
My heart has found another way
To be loving you again
And every time is the last time
And every time is the first
Everytime is the last time with you
Oh it never gets no better
And it couldn't get no wore
Then I hear the footsteps the driver's at the door
He says I look familiar has he made this run before
And I tell him I don't think so
What's it matter anyway
Just tell me what the meter reads
And I'll go and get your pay
Well now it's down to you and me though it don't seem right
We both know where we'll be and what we'll do tonight
And after an hour or two
When the night comes to an end
My heart has found another way
To be lovin' you again
And every time is the last time
And every time is the first
Everytime is the last time with you
Oh it never gets no better
And it couldn't get no worse
I know that there should be more to say I'll just reed your mind
Let's save what's left unsaid for another time
'Cause I know there'll be another time
So until then
My heart has found another way
To be lovin' you again
My heart has found another way
To be lovin' you again
Oh, my heart has found another way

Making believe, that you still love me
It's leaving me alone and so blue
Still I'll always dream, but I'll never own you

Can't hold you close when you're not with me
You're somebody's love, you'll never be mine
Making believe, I'll spend my lifetime
Loving you and making believe
Making believe, I never lost you
But my happy hours, I'll find now so few
My plans for the future will never come true
Making believe, what else can I do
Making believe, I'll spend my lifetime

You left me for the bright lights of the town
A country boy set out to see the world
Remember when those neon lights shine down
That big old moon shines on your Kentucky girl
I swear I love you by the moon above you
How bright is it shining in your world
Some morning when you wake up all alone
Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl
Don't wait to bring great riches home to me
I need no diamond rings or fancy pearls
Just bring yourself, you're all I'll ever need
That's good enough for this blue Kentucky girl
I swear I love you by the moon above you
How bright is it shining in your world
Some morning when you wake up all alone
Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl

Top Emmylou Harris, Someone Like You

Others have touched me, soft in the night
Others have kissed me and held me tight
Good times and lovers, yes, I've had a few
But I was just waiting for someone like you
I have been lonely and I have been loved
I've grown used to losing what I'm fondest of
I can see clearly now, my whole life through
I was just waiting for someone like you
But I never wasted
A minute of my time
Every road I ever took
Led me to your side
No, I never wasted
A minute of my time
Every road I ever took
Led me to your side
Don't it seem funny, love
That I never knew
I was just waiting for someone like you

Top Emmylou Harris, Slow Surprise

There is a way that subtle changes to stay
Barely noticed, hardly known
One day you´ll say my situation´s locked away
But by tomorrow you´re all alone
It seems so sudden, but it´s not, it´s only grown
From a scene that long ago was left
Forgotten in the snow
And has a way with slow surprises all its own
It´s hard to show, but like a boulder rollin´ slow
Or a rumble, deep in the ground
Things whisper low, and by the time I really know
What´s been movin´, they´ve settled down
Too late to see the way they´re shiftin´ round
Too late to say there´s bound to be another way
It´s all been said and done without a sound
This comes to me, and now that I begin to see
It´s not dramatic, it´s nothing grand
I used to be half of thje whole of you and me
Now I´m the limit of all I am
It seems so simple, nothin´ much to understand
You walked out and closed the door
Said I don´t live here anymore
And now nothin´s hangin´ heavy in my hands

Top Emmylou Harris, Snake song

You can't hold me
I'm too slippery
I do no sleepin'
I get lonely
You can touch me
If you want to
I got poison
I just might bite you
Lie in circles
On the sunlight
Shine like diamonds
On a dark night
Ain't no mercy
In my smilin'
Only fangs and
Sweet beguiling
Future, he don't
Try to find me
Skin I been through
Dies behind me
Solid hollow
Wrapped in hatred
Not a drop of
Venom wasted
You can slip in
Try to find me
Hold your breath and
Flat deny me
It makes no difference
To my thinkin'
I'll be here when

Top Emmylou Harris, SISTERS OF MERCY

(Leonard Cohen)
Oh the sisters of mercy they are not departed or gone
They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on
And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song
Oh I hope you run into them you who've been trav'lling so long
Yes you who must leave everything that you cannot control
It begins with your family but soon it comes around to your soul
Well I've been where you're hangin' and I think I can see how you're pinned
When you're not feeling holy your loneliness says that you've sinned
Well they lay down beside me I made my confessions to them
They touched both my eyes and I touched the dew on their hem
If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn
They will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem
When I left they were sleeping I hope you run into them soon
Don't turn on the lights you can read their address by the moon
And you won't make me jealous if I find that they sweetened your night
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right

Top Emmylou Harris, Six White Cadillacs

Workin' hard all my life
Always tried to get it right
Every day and every night
Hey hey hey carry me home
Singin' in a honky tonk
People dancin' getting drunk
Never knowin' what I want
Hey hey hey carry me home
I just want a little
Give me just a little
Just a little peace of mind
Can't somebody tell me
Please somebody tell me
Hoe long does this road unwind
Six white Cadillacs
Crossin' on the railroad track
Angels in the front and back
Hy hey hey carry me home
Way over yonder

Top Emmylou Harris, Shores Of White Sand

here i go again
back to that feeling
of no worthy cause
to carry me on
'cause my hearts been skipping
like a flat rock on water
and with each ripple
the further i'm gone
some say i'm sinking
to the muddy bottom
But somehow i'm sailing
to shores of white sand
i feel it raining
and the crosswinds are changing
blowing my chances
to make it alone
but should you get lonesome
and your child need a mother
just look for my traces
on shores of white sand
some say i'm sinking
to the muddy bottom
But somehow i'm sailing
to shores of white sand
yes, some say i'm sinking
to the muddy bottom
But somehow i'm sailing
to shores of white sand
some say i'm sinking
to the muddy bottom
But somehow i'm sailing

Top Emmylou Harris, Silent Night

Written by Joseph More & Franz Gruber - Arranged by Brian Ahern
Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child.
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavely hosts sing alleluia;
Christ the Saviour, is born!
Christ the Saviour, is born!
Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.

Top Emmylou Harris, Rough & Rocky

(charles justice/shoji tabuchi)
Darlin' I have come to tell you
Tho' it almost breaks my heart
But before the mornin', darlin'
We'll be many miles apart
Don't this road look rough and rocky
Don't that sea look wide and deep
Don't my baby look the sweetest
When he's in my arms asleep
Can't you hear the nightbird's cryin'
Far across the deep blue sea
While others you are thinking
Won't you sometimes think of me
Don't this road look rough and rocky
Don't that sea look wide and deep
Don't my baby look the sweetest
When he's in my arms asleep
One more kiss before I leave you
One more kiss before we part
You have caused me lots of trouble
Darlin', you have broke my heart
Don't this road look rough and rocky
Don't that sea look wide and deep
Don't my baby look the sweetest

Top Emmylou Harris, Sailing Round The Room

One last gaze upon the sun
It bid farewell to everyone
Kick that bucket out the door
Where I'm going I won't need it anymore
Gonna lay my burden down
Take a bird's eye look around
From the tall pines of Carolina
All the way to the wall of China
So I'll go sailing round the room
Through my window, across the silver moon
No flesh and bone to hold me
I'll finally set my soul free
When I go sailing round the room
Life may be just but a dream
Rowed my boat on down the stream
To wake up on a different shore
Wind up as something I ain't never been before
I could be a drop of summer rain
Falling down on an Oklahoma plain
I won't leave the world behind me
Look around and you will find me
So I'll go sailing round the room
Through my window, across the silver moon
No flesh and bone to hold me
I'll finally set my soul free
When I go sailing round the room
I will be in the smoke from Mauna Loa
Morning mist from the Shenandoah
I will be a grain of sand in the Kalahari
Magnolia by the Mississippi
I will be birdsong when day is breaking
Words of love when your heart is aching
I will be a blue bonnet by the highway
I'll be everywhere and always
When I go sailing round the room
Through my window, across the silver moon
No flesh and bone to hold me
I'll finally set my soul free
When I go sailing round the room
Through my window, across the silver moon
No flesh and bone to hold me
I'll finally set my soul free

Top Emmylou Harris, Root Like A Rose

Top Emmylou Harris, Rosewood Casket

There's a little rosewood casket resting on a marble stand
With a packet of old love letters written by my true love's hand
Go and bring them to me sister read them o'er for me tonight
I have often tried but could not for the tears that filled my eyes
When I'm dead and in my casket when I gently fall asleep
Fall asleep to wake in heaven dearest sister do not weep
[ mandolin ]
Take his letters and his locket place them gently on my heart
But this golden ring that he gave me from my finger never part
There's a little rosewood casket resting on a marble stand
With a packet of old love letters written by my true love's hand

Top Emmylou Harris, To Know Him Is To Love Him

To know know know him is to love love love him
Just to see him smile makes my life worthwhile
To know know know him is to love love love him and I do
I'll be good to him I'll bring love too him
Everyone says, "There'll come a day when I'll walk alongside of him"
Yes just to know him is to love love love him and I do
Why can't he see how blind can he be?
Someday he will see that he was meant for me
To know know know him is to love love love him
Just to see him smile makes my life worthwhile

Top Emmylou Harris, To Keep Your Memory Green

Last night I thought I felt your arms around me
But woke to find that it was just a dream
Though you're gone I find you constantly surround me
Ohh, just something else that keeps your memory green
I go out and try my hand at startin' over
But find it hard to break the old routine
'Cause I wind up seein' you in each new lover
Ohh, just something else that keeps your memory green
Time should be a cure for a heartache
A healing melody for shattered dreams
But I swear sometimes I hear you say you love me
Ohh, just something else that keeps your memory green
Time should be a cure for a heartache
A healing melody for shattered dreams
Oh, but I swear sometimes I hear you say you love me
Ohh, just something else that keeps your memory green

Top Emmylou Harris, Time In Babylon

Five-lane highway, danger zone
SUV and a speaker phone
You need that chrome to get you home
Doin' time in Babylon
Cluster mansion on the hill
Another day in Pleasant ville
You don't like it, take a pill
Doin' time in Babylon
In the land of the proud and free
You can sell your soul and your dignity
For fifteen minutes on TV
Doin' time in Babylon
So suck the fat, cut the bone
Fill it up with silicone
And everybody must get cloned
Doin' time in Babylon
Little boy blue come blow your horn
The crows are in the corn
The morning sky is red and falling down
The piper's at the till, he's coming for the kill
Luring all our children under-ground in Babylon
We came from apple pie and mom
Through civil rights and ban the bomb
To Watergate and Vietnam
Hard times in Babylon
Rallied round the megaphone
Gave it up, just got stoned
Now it's Prada, Gucci and Ferron
Doin' time in Babylon
Little boy blue come blow your horn
The crows are in the corn
The morning sky is red and falling down
The piper's at the till, he's coming for the kill
Luring all our children under-ground in Babylon
Get results, get 'em fast
We're ready if you got the cash
Someone else will be laughin' last
Doin' time in Babylon
So put that conscience on the shelf
Keep the best stuff for yourself
And let the rest fight over what is left
Doin' time in Babylon
Little boy blue come blow your horn
The crows are in the corn
The morning sky is red and falling down
Let your song of healing spark a way out of this dark

Top Emmylou Harris, Timberline

Oh, the stars, they did shine, the night you swore that you'd be mine
And you promised always to be true and to be kind
On that Shenandoah Hill where our love bloomed until
I went away and left those promises behind
But when I rise from the timberline
And call your name will you remember mine
And the sweetest kiss will be the tie that binds
Like the wild, wild rose and the columbine
To that place I will go where the wild wood flowers grow
With a ribbon in my hair and a gown of calico
To those Shenandoah Hills, I'll go back, I swear I will
To the sweetest kiss my lips will ever know
And when I rise from the timberline
And call your name will you remember mine
And the sweetest kiss will be the tie that binds
Like the wild, wild rose and the columbine
And when I rise from the timberline
And call your name will you remember mine
And the sweetest kiss will be the tie that binds
Like the wild, wild rose and the columbine
And when I rise from the timberline
And call your name will you remember mine
And the sweetest kiss will be the tie that binds

Top Emmylou Harris, Those Memories of You

Those memories of you still haunt me
Every night when I lay down
I'll always love you little darling
Until the day they lay me down
In dreams of you my body trembles
I wake up and call your name
But you're not there and I'm so lonesome
Without your love I'd go insane
Those memories of you still haunt me
Every night when I lay down
I'll always love you little darling
Until the day they lay me down
I close my eyes and you're there with me
Your kiss I feel, your face I see
It's not your lips now, that drive me crazy
It's just your haunting memory
Those memories of you still haunt me
Every night when I lay down
I'll always love you my little darling
Until the day they lay me down

Top Emmylou Harris, This Is To Mother You

This is to mother you
To comfort you and get you through
Through when your nights are lonely
Through when your dreams are only blue
This is to mother you
This is to be with you
To hold you and to kiss you too
For when you need me I will do
What your own mother didn't do
Which is to mother you
All the pain that you have known
All the violence in your soul
All the wrong things you have done
I will take from you when I come
All mistakes made in distress
All your unhappiness
I will take away with my kiss, yes
I will give you tenderness
For child I am so glad I've found you
Although my arms have always been around you
Sweet bird although you did not see me
I saw you
And I'm here to mother you
To comfort you and get you through
Through when your nights are lonely
Through when your dreams are only blue

Top Emmylou Harris, Montana Cowgirl

(Ray Park)
For many long years I've played a lone hand
I rode my horse in many strange lands
Until one day I stopped for awhile
For two blue eyes and a sunny smile
So howl away you old coyote
I hear your sad and lonesome song
You're calling me back to old Montana
Back to those hills where I belong
One day I rode away from home
I'm a' traveling back and it won't be long
I'll see you again in a little while
You're my darling sweet, my welcome smile
So howl away you old coyote
I hear your sad and lonesome song
You're calling me back to old Montana
Back to those hills where I belong
So howl away you old coyote
I hear your sad and lonesome song
You're calling me back to old Montana

Top Emmylou Harris, Amarillo

My baby never was the cheatin' kind
But it wasn't 'cause the ladies didn't try
Now everywhere we go they're walkin' 'round him slow
Givin' him a flutter and a sigh
Now I got him past that redhead in Atlanta
Lord, I walked all over that black-eyed Cajun Queen
But outside of Amarillo, he found his thrill, I'll tell you
Oh, I lost him to a jukebox and a pinball machine
Oh, Amarillo what you want my baby for?
Oh, Amarillo now he won't come home no more
You don't play a trick on me, hooked him in the first degree
He put another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter
While he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine
If we only hadn't stopped in there for coffee
If someone hadn't played the window up above
Oh, he'd still be mine today but he heard those fiddles play
One look and then I knew this must be love
Oh, that pinball machine's in the corner
Well, he saw the lights and he had to hear 'em ring
And he never was the same after he won his first free game
Oh, I lost him to a jukebox and pinball machine
Oh, Amarillo what you want my baby for?
Oh, Amarillo now he won't come home no more
You don't play a trick on me now you hooked him in the first degree
He put another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter
While he racks up fifty thousand on pinball machine
Oh, Amarillo what you want my baby for?
Oh, Amarillo now he won't come home no more
You don't played a trick on me, you hooked him in the first degree
He put another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter

Top Emmylou Harris, The Pearl

One, two, three
Oh, the dragons are gonna fly tonight
They're circling low and inside tonight
It's another round in the losing fight
Out along the great divide tonight
We are aging soldiers in an ancient war
Seeking out some half remembered shore
We drink our fill and still we thirst for more
Asking if there's no heaven what is this hunger for?
Our path is worn our feet are poorly shod
We lift up our prayer against the odds
And fear the silence is the voice of God, of God, of God
And we cry Hallelujah, Hallelujah, we cry Hallelujah
Sorrow is constant and the joys are brief
The seasons come and bring no sweet relief
Time is a brutal but a careless thief
Who takes our lot but leaves behind the grief
It is the heart that kills us in the end
Just one more old broken bone that cannot mend
As it was now and ever shall be amen, amen, amen
And we cry Hallelujah, Hallelujah, we cry Hallelujah
So there'll be no guiding light for you and me
We are not sailors lost out on the sea
We were always headed toward eternity
Hoping for a glimpse of Galilee
Like falling stars from the universe we are hurled
Down through the long loneliness of the world
Until we behold the pain become the pearl
Crying Hallelujah, Hallelujah, we cry Hallelujah
We cry Hallelujah, Hallelujah, we cry Hallelujah

Top Emmylou Harris, One Paper Kid

Cowboys and Indians and trees he could climb
Tomorrow came too fast but he didn't mind
The distance was short so light it again
It don't take no time to get where I am
But one paper kid wasn't really so mean
Just a little bit scarred and a little bit green
And he'd heard of a place it was legal to dream
So he sat with his coffee in a blue Texas wind
And he wrote on a rock, the one paper kid is rollin' again
Driver was drunk or he just didn't see
The future is there it'll happen to me
And all the time that he wasted was his once again
It never takes long to get where you've been
Broken hearts scattered all over the past
Old bad memories trying to last
Whiskey and women and growing up fast
Fussing and loving and itching like grass
Hell that one paper kid wasn't really so mean
Just a little bit weird 'cause times were so lean
Now he's gone to a place where it's legal to dream
No camels, no coffee, no cold morning winds
It was wrote on a rock, the one paper kid is rollin' again

Top Emmylou Harris, The Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

I hear the sound of sorrow in the wind
Blowing down from every mile I've ever been
Calling me out on some road that just won't end
Where the sweetheart rides the rodeo again
A thousand nights, a thousand towns, I took the bows
There is no compensation for me now
Out along the highway where the west was won
No matter how fast I ride or far I run
Waiting for the sweetheart of the rodeo
They're comin' down from Tonopah to Tupelo
She'll come to town to ride the radio
Like she's slidin' down the walls of Jericho
There goes the sweetheart of the rodeo
I stepped into the light you left behind
I stood there where all the world could see me shine
Oh, I was on my way to you to make you mine
But I took the longest road that I could find
Waiting for the sweetheart of the rodeo
They're comin' down from Tonopah to Tupelo
She'll come to town to ride the radio
Like she's slidin' down the walls of Jericho

Top Emmylou Harris, Spanish Is a Loving Tongue

(Brian Ahern)
Spanish is a loving tongue
Soft as music light as spray
Was a girl he learned it from
Living down Sonora way
He don't look much like a lover
But he says her love words over
Mostly when he's all alone
Mi amor mi corazon
On the nights that he would ride
She would listen for his spurs
Throw those big doors open wide
Raise them laughing eyes of hers
How those hours would get to flyin'
All too soon he'd hear her sighing
In her little sorry tone
Mi amor mi corazon
He ain't seen her since that night
He can't cross the line you know
They want him for a gambling flight
Like as not it's better so
Yet he's always sort of missed her
Since that last sad night he kissed her
Lost his heart left her own
Adios mi corazon
Lost his heart left her own

Top Emmylou Harris, Love hurts

Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough nor strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, love hurts
I'm young, I know but even so
I know a thing or two I've learned from you
I've really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a stove, burns you when it's hot
Love hurts, love hurts
Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
But they're not fooling me
I know it isn't true, know it isn't true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
Love hurts, love hurts
Love hurts, love hurts

Top Emmylou Harris, I Ain't Living Long Like This

(Rodney Crowell)
You looked for trouble and you found it son
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
You'd try to run but you don't think you can
You make one move and you're dead man, friend
I ain't living long like this
I can't live at all like this, can I baby
He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
Then he left me freezing on a steel rail track
They got 'em all in the jailhouse, ain't they bay
I ain't living long like this
grew up in Houston off of Wayside drive
Son of a charhop in some all night dive
Dad drove a stock car to an early death
All I remember was a drunk man's death
I ain't living long like this
I can't live at all like this can I baby
We know the story how the wheel goes round
Don't let 'em take you to the man downtown
Can't sleep at all in the jailhouse, baby
I ain't living long like this
You live for angel, she's a roadhouse queen
Make Texas ruby look like Sandra Dee
You want to love her but you don't know how
You're at the bottom of the jailhouse now
I ain't living long like this
I can't live at all like this, can I baby
You know the story 'bout the jailhouse rock
Go on and do it, but just don't get caught
They got 'em all in the jailhouse, ain't they baby

Top Emmylou Harris, The Maker

Oh, oh deep water, black and cold like the night
I stand with arms wide open
I've run a twisted line
I'm a stranger in the eyes of the Maker
I could not see for the fog in my eyes
I could not feel for the fear in my life
From across the great divide, In the distance I saw a light
Of Jean Baptiste's he's walking to me with the Maker
My body, my body is bent and broken by long and dangerous sleep
I can't work the fields of Abraham and turn my head away
I'm not a stranger in the hands of the Maker
Brother John, have you seen the homeless daughters
Standing there with broken wings
I have seen the flaming swords
There over east of Eden
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
Oh, river rise from your sleep
Oh, river rise from your sleep

Top Emmylou Harris, Prayer In Open D

There's a valley of sorrow in my soul
Where every night I hear the thunder roll
Like the sound of a distant gun
Over all the damage I have done
And the shadows filling up this land
Are the ones I built with my own hand
There is no comfort from the cold
Of this valley of sorrow in my soul
There's a river of darkness in my blood
And through every vein I feel the flood
I can find no bridge for me to cross
No way to bring back what is lost
Into the night it soon will sweep
Down where all my grievances I keep
But it won't wash away the years
Or one single hard and bitter tear
And the rock of ages I have known
Is a weariness down in the bone
I use to ride it like a rolling stone
Now just carry it alone
There's a highway risin' from my dreams
Deep in the heart I know it gleams
For I have seen it stretching wide
Clear all across to the other side
Beyond the river and the flood
And the valley where for so long I've stood
With the rock of ages in my bones
Someday I know it will lead me home
Oh, ho, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, ho, oh, oh

Top Emmylou Harris, The Last Cheater's Waltz

She's going to pieces when he walked in the door
She just has to see him, she can't wait no more
Tonight she'll be with him no matter the cost
As the band plays the Last Cheater's Waltz
And uh, huh, huh, don't they play lonely
Uh, huh, huh, don't they play sad
And uh, huh, huh, drink water only
See how he holds her, as the band plays the Last Cheater's Waltz
He tells her, he loves her as the music plays on
He tells her, he needs her but someone's at home
The ball game's all over and she knows she's lost
As the band plays the Last Cheater's Waltz
And uh, huh, huh, don't they play lonely
Uh, huh, huh, don't they play sad
And uh, huh, huh, three quarter only
See how he holds her, as the band plays the Last Cheater's Waltz
And uh huh huh don't they play lonely
Uh, huh, huh, don't they play sad
And uh, huh, huh, three quarter only

Top Emmylou Harris, One of These Days

I won't have to chop no wood
I can be bad or I can be good
I can be any way that I feel
One of these days
Might be a woman that's dressed in black
Be a hobo by the railroad track
I'll be gone like the wayward wind
One of these days
One of these days it will soon
Be all over cut and dry
And I won't have this urge
To go all bottled up inside
One of these days I'll look back
And I'll say I left in time
'Cause somewhere for me
I know there's peace of mind
I might someday walk across this land
Carrying the Lord's book in my hand
Goin' across the country singin' loud as I can
One of these days
But I won't have trouble on my back
Cuttin' like the Devil with a choppin' axe
Got to shake it off my back
One of these days
One of these days it will soon
Be all over cut and dry
And I won't have this urge
To go all bottled up inside
One of these days I'll look back
And I'll say I left in time
'Cause somewhere for me
I know there's peace of mind
There's gonna be peace of mind for me

Top Emmylou Harris, Pieces of the Sky

(Shel Silverstein)
She arrives in all her splendor
Each night at nine o'clock
Her chariot is the crosstown bus
That stops right down the block
Now the old piano minstrel plays her tune as she walks in
And the Queen of the Silver Dollar's home again
She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar
She rules this smokey kingdom
Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is her throne
Now the jesters flock around her tryin' to win her favors
To see which one will take the
Queen of the Silver Dollar home
Now her royal dress is satin
It's shabby and it's torn
The royal jewels are rhinestones
The shoes are scuffed and worn
Of the many roads she's been down,
And the places that she's seen
Well they all look at her and say God save the queen
Now the Queen of the Silver Dollar
Is not as haughty as she seems
She was once an ordinary girl with ordinary dreams
But there's a man who found her
And he brought her to this world
He's the one who made a queen of a simple country girl
Yes I'm the Queen of the Silver Dollar
I rule this smokey kingdom
Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is my throne
Now the jesters flock around me tryin' to win my favors
To see which one will take the
Queen of the Silver Dollar home
Yes I'm the Queen of the Silver Dollar
I rule this smokey kingdom
Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is my throne
Now the jesters flock around me tryin' to win my favors
To see which one will take the
Queen of the Silver Dollar home

Got my face in the corner

Restless through and through
I'm restless, restless
You look restless too
I'm a hair trigger lover
And I can't face up to nothing

But I'm waitin' here for somethin'
And pretty baby I'm restless, restless
Restless through and through
I'm restless, restless
You look restless too
Restless sleep, twisted dreams
Moving targets, silent screams
Restless city, restless street
Restless you , restless me
I'm a face at the window
I'm a black satin sheet
And I can't stay warm
I stay out in the street
And pretty baby I'm restless, restless
Restless through and through
I'm restless, restless
You look restless too

Top Emmylou Harris, All I Intended to Be

I spent a lifetime making up my mind to be
More than the measure what I thought others could see
Good luck and fast bucks are too far and too few between
Cadillac buyers and old five and dimers like me
Yes, she stood beside me letting me know who she would be
Something to lean on when everything ran out on me
Fenced yards ain't hole cards and like is not never will be
Reason for rhymers and old five and dimers like me
It's taken me so long but now that I know I believe
All that I do or say, all that I ever will be
Too far and too high and too deep ain't too much to be
Too much ain't enough for old five and dimers like me
Too far and too high and too deep ain't too much to be
Too much ain't enough for old five and dimers like me
And an old five and dimer is all I intended to be

Top Emmylou Harris, Calling My Children Home

(Doyle Lawson/Charles Waller/Robert Yates)
Those lives were mine to love and cherish.
To guard and guide along life's way.
Oh God forbid that one should perish.
That one alas should go astray.
Back in the years with all together,
Around the place we'd romp and play.
So lonely now and oft' times wonder,
Oh will they come back home some day.
I'm lonesome for my precious children,
They live so far away.
Oh may they hear my calling...calling..
and come back home some day.
I gave my all for my dear children,
Their problems still with love I share,
I'd brave life's storm, defy the tempest
To bring them home from anywhere.
I lived my life my love I gave them,
to guide them through this world of strife,
I hope and pray we'll live together,
In that great glad here after life.
I'm lonesome for my precious children,
They live so far away.

Top Emmylou Harris, Abraham Martin And John

(Richard Holler)
I am a backseat driver from America
They drive to the left on Falls Road
And the man at the wheels name is Shamus
We pass a the child on a corner he knows
And Shamus says "now what chance has that kid got"
And I say from the back "I don't know"
He says "there's barbed wire at all of these exits"
There ain't no place in Belfast for that kid to go
And it's a hard life, it's a hard life
It's a very hard life
It's a hard life wherever you go
And we poison our children with hatred
And the hard life is all that they know
At the dairyline in Chicago
A fat man in front of me
He's calling black people trash to his children
And he's the only trash here I see
And I'm thinking this man wears a white hood
In the night when his children should sleep
But they'll slip to their windows and see him
They'll think that white hood's all they need
And it's a hard life, it's a hard life
It's a very hard life
It's a hard life wherever you go
And if we poison our children with hatred
Then the hard life is all that they know
I was a child of the sixties
When dreams could be held through tears
With Disney and Cronkite and Martin Luther
And I belived, I believed, I believed
Now I'm a backseat driver from America
And I'm not at the wheel of control
And I am guilty, I am worn, I am the root of all evil
And I can't drive on the left side of the road
And it's a hard life, it's a hard life
It's a very hard life
It's a hard life wherever you go
And if we poison our children with hatred
Then the hard life is all that they'll know
And there ain't no place in this world for these kids to go
Cause it's a hard life wherever you go
Has anybody here seen my old friend Abraham,
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lotta people, but it seems the good die young
I just looked around and he's gone.
Has anybody here seen my old friend Martin,
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lotta people, but it seems the good die young
I just looked around and he's gone.
Has anybody here seen my old friend John,
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lotta people, but it seems the good die young
I just looked around and he's gone.
Didn't you love the things they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good in you and me?
And we'll be free
Someday soon it's gonna be one day
Has anybody here seen my old friend Bobby,
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walkin' up over the hill

Top Emmylou Harris, Hard Bargain

I'm a bit run down, but I'm okay
I just feel like calling it a day
But you send me back to the start
You drive a hard bargain
Each time I'm heading for nowhere
Doomed and determined to go there
It seems I never get far
'Cos you drive a hard bargain
You drive a hard bargain
How's a guy supposed to fail
With someone like you around?
I've tried and tried to no avail
You just can't seem to let me down
You drive a hard bargain
How's a guy supposed to fail
With someone like you around?
I've tried and tried to no avail
You just can't seem to let me down
You drive a hard bargain
You drive a hard bargain
So I'll keep on playing that old song
'Cos for all I know it's where I belong
When the world is breaking my heart
You drive a hard bargain
You send me back to the start
You drive a hard bargain
You drive a hard bargain

Top Emmylou Harris, Hank & Lefty

Daddy had a 1949 Ford
When I was just about ten years old
We would listen to 'Hank And Lefty' on the radio
Why don't you love me like you used to do?
And just look what thoughts will do
Old 'Hank And Lefty', raised my country soul
Now I learned how to sing and shuffle my shoes
Listenin' to Hank sing the lovesick blues
We never met old Hank but we was awful close
Cut my teeth on 'Always Late'
And, 'I Love You A Thousand Ways'
Old 'Hank And Lefty' raised my country soul
Daddy said, the hair on his neck would crawl
When old Hank sang about the light he saw
Hank sure put a whole lot of heart in the songs he wrote
Every time daddy got a little bit tight
Mom and dad's waltz would make him cry
Old 'Hank And Lefty' raised my country soul
Now I learned how to sing and shuffle my shoes
Listenin' to Hank sing the lovesick blues
We never met old Hank but we was awful close
Cut my teeth on 'Always Late'
And, 'I Love You A Thousand Ways'
Old 'Hank And Lefty' raised my country soul

Top Emmylou Harris, High Sierra

I've been higher than the High Sierra lower than Death Valley must be
I've been right mostly wrong wrong about you right about me
The way I feel can't explain so much passion turned to pain
The sun still shines most of the time did you know the sun shines when it rains
I've been higher than the High Sierra...
[ fiddle ]
I've been cussed and I've been praised and I've been nothing these days
I'll come back time will see if I'm wrong about you right about me
I've been higher than the High Sierra...

Top Emmylou Harris, Herere & Everywhere

(john lennon/paul mccartney)
Here making each day of the year
Changing my life with one wave of his hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there
Thererunning my hands thru his hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be someone is speaking
But he doesn't know she's there
I want him everywhere and if he's beside me I know I need never care
But to love him is to meet him
Everywhere knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies watching his eyes and hoping i'm
Always there
To be here and everywhere here there and everywhere
I want him everywhere and if he's beside me I know I need never care
But to love him is to meet him
Everywhere knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies watching his eyes and hoping i'm
Always there

Top Emmylou Harris, Here I Am (reprise)

I am standing by the river
I will be standing here forever
Though you're on the other side
My face you still can see
Why won't you look at me?
Here I am
Here I am
I am searching through the canyon
It is your name that I am calling
Though you're so far away
I know you hear my plea
Why won't you answer me?
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am
I am in the blood of your heart
The breath of your lung
Why do you run for cover?
You are from the dirt of the earth
And the kiss of my mouth
I have always been your lover
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am
I am the promise never broken
And my arms are ever open
In this harbor, calm and still
I will wait until
Until you come to me
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am

Top Emmylou Harris, Heaven Ain't Ready For You Yet

When they carried you into the parlor
Your wounds were the worst I'd seen
Cold as snow, your body trembled
Cradled in the arms of morphine
All the kinfolk cried out loud
"Good Shepherd, save this man"
But you whispered with icy breath
"It is not in His hands," and you said
"Heaven ain't ready for me yet"
And you looked at me
"Give me your heart and take a bet"
And you held my hand
"Now I've seen your face, now that we've met
I shall not slip away"
Mama said to me, "Daughter
You must nurse your cousin well"
So I cared for you through days and nights
But your fever, I did not quell
For weeks I watched you suffer pain
That no laudanum could ease
All I had left to do is pray
"Lord have mercy on him please", and you said
"Heaven ain't ready for me yet"
And you looked at me
"Give me your heart and take a bet"
And you held my hand
"Now I've seen your face, now that we've met
I shall not slip away"
Now winter's lights has cooled the air
At last your strength's returned
You talk to me of the life you spent
And of the life you've earned
You'll waste no time on vengeance
You've no wish to fight again
"To find peace," you say, "In God we trust
But little faith in man"
Heaven ain't ready for you yet, Jesse
I'll give you my heart and I'll take a bet, Jesse
Now I've seen your face, now that we've met

Top Emmylou Harris, Heart to Heart

Heart to heart, we'll hold together
Hand in hand, we'll find a way
Oh, the storms of life may blind us
But with the loving vows that bind us
Heart to heart, hand in hand we'll stay, side by side forever and always
Day by day, till our lives are done
This sweet love is ours to treasure far beyond all time and measure
Side by side, day by day as one
The years connot take
What's between you and me
We'll stand here together
For the whole world to see
Heart to heart, there'll be no other
Hand in hand for our love is true
Oh, the words that we have spoken
Will be a promise never broken
Heart to heart, hand in hand, side by side forever and always
Day by day, till our lives are done
This sweet love is ours to treasure far beyond all time and measure

Top Emmylou Harris, He Was Mine

You asked me if I've met your baby, I have to say
?It's been some time now but it seems like yesterday
He was mine for awhile
We had good times, we went in style?
?But now he's yours, treat him kind
Yes, I remember well when he was mine?
You say, he means the world to you, yes, I can tell
You'll make each other happy, I wish you well
He was mine for awhile
We had good times, we went in style
But now he's yours treat him kind
Yes, I remember well when he was mine
Yes, I remember well when he was mine
He was mine
He was mine
He was mine

Top Emmylou Harris, He Rode All The Way To Texas

A light shines from my window
Just can't sleep no more
Lord, it hurts so much to be alone
But the real men never do admit
It's them that might be wrong
At least that's what he told me in his song
He rode all the way to Texas
On an old freight train
Didn't miss the girl he left behind
He rode all the way to Texas
Didn't shed a tear
He's lettin' you know that he's the movin' kind
The freedom that he sings about
I guess, I'll never know
Just can't shake the guilt or kill the pain
But he lets me ride when the lights turn low
Get on board the radio
And take a ride to Texas on his train
He rode all the way to Texas
On an old freight train
Didn't miss the girl he left behind
He rode all the way to Texas
Didn't shed a tear
Lettin' you know that he's the movin' kind

Top Emmylou Harris, Sweet Dreams

Sweet dreams of you
Every night I go through
Why can't I forget you
And start my life a new
Instead of having
Sweet dreams about you
You don't love me it's plain
I should have known you'll never wear my ring
I know I should hate you
The whole night through
Instead of having
Sweet dreams about you
Sweet dreams of you
Every night I go through
Why can't I forget you
Start loving someone new
Instead of having
Sweet dreams about you
Instead of having

Top Emmylou Harris, For No One

The day breaks your mind aches
You find that all her words
Of kindness linger on
She no longer needs you
She wakes up, she makes up
She takes her time
And doesn't feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
You want her, you need her
And yet you don't believe her
When she said her love is dead
You think she needs you
She goes out, you stay home
She says that long ago
She knew someone but now he's gone
She doesn't need him
And in her eyes, you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
Your day breaks your mind aches
There will be time when all the things she said
Will fill your head

Top Emmylou Harris, Coat Of Many Colors

(Dolly Parton)
Back through the years I go wondering once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my mamma put these rags to use
There were rags of many colours, and every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall
Mamma sewed the rags together, sewing ever piece with love
She made my coat of many colours, that I was so proud of
As she sewed she told the story from the bible she had read
About a coat of many colours, Joseph wore and they she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you, much love and happiness
And I just couldn't wait to wear it, and mamma blessed it with a kiss
My coat of many colours that mamma made for me
Made only rags, but I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money. oh I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me
So with patches on my breaches and holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colours, I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing and makin' fun of me
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me
Oh, I couldn't understand it, for I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love my mamma sewed in ever stitch
And I told them all the story, mamma told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colours is worth more than all of their clothes
They didn't under stand it and I tried to make them see
That one is only poor only if they choose to be
Now I know we have no money, but I'm as rich as I could be
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me

Top Emmylou Harris, Sleepless Nights

Through the sleepless nights
I cry for you
And wonder who is kissing you
Oh, these sleepless nights
Will break my heart in two
Somehow through the day
I don't give in
I hide the tears that wait till then
Oh, these sleepless nights
Will break my heart again
Why did you go?
Why did you go?
Don't you know
Don't you know, I need you?
Through the sleepless nights
I cry for you
And wonder who is kissing you
Oh, these sleepless nights
Will break my heart in two
Oh, these sleepless nights
Will break my heart in two
Oh, these sleepless nights

Top Emmylou Harris, Queen Of The Silver Dollar

Top Emmylou Harris, Before Believing

Winter summer seasons is taken over it's quiet
Like new fallen snow
I told you summer stories
But outside is getting mighty cold
I told you everything I could about me
Told you everything I could
How would you feel if the world
Was falling apart around you
Pieces of the sky were falling
In your neighbors yard but not on you
Wouldn't you feel just a little bit funny
Think maybe there's something you ought to do
Solutions that never lay down before you
The answers are all around
Believing is all the friend you need to talk to
Believing in you
I told you everything I could about me
Told you everything I could
I told you everything I could about me

Top Emmylou Harris, You're Supposed To Be Feeling Good

(Rodney Crowell)
Soul mate
I see you down there
Waiting for morning
To softly be coming
I find
I'm only in deeper
And you'd be a leaver
If you weren't so scared
Your true love
Has made you feel better
But look out for later
When she makes you feel worse
Times change
In daydreams and flashes
A taste of the past is
All I have seen
But you're supposed to be feeling good now
Cause everybody said you would
Honey, does it blow your mind
That the prophets would lie
You're supposed to be in your prime now
Not supposed to be wasting your time
Feeling like you're down and out
Over someone like me
Soul mate
The blues are deceiving
It keeps us believing
We're on the wrong road
One side
Is just like the other
Except for the color
And size of the load

Top Emmylou Harris, Boulder to Birmingham

I don't want to hear a love song
I got on this airplane just to fly
And I know there's life below me
But all that it can show me is the prairie and the sky
And I don't want to hear a sad story
Full of heartbreak and desire
The last time I felt like this
It was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire
And I stood on the mountain
In the night and I watched it burn
I watched it burn, I watched it burn
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
I would hold my life in his saving grace
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
If I thought I could see, I could see your face
Well, you really got me this time
And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive
I have call on the listen for the sound
Of the trucks as they move down out on ninety five
And pretend that it's the ocean
Coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean
Baby, do you know what I mean
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
I would hold my life in his saving grace
I would walk all the way from boulder to Birmingham
If I thought I could see, I could see your face

Top Emmylou Harris, Bluebird Wine

(Rodney Crowell)
Baby brought me in out off the highway
Made me put my money in the bank, bank
Straightened out my crooked way of thinking
Made it purely pleasure when I drank
And It's all right
I've just hit my stride
Right off the bat
Lord, I'm drunk on Bluebird Wine
Baby taught me a diff'rent way of thinkin'
Like how to spend my evenings here at home
List'ning to the music on the radio
Drinking all the Bluebird we can hold
And It's all right
I've just hit my stride
Right off the bat
Lord, I'm drunk on Bluebird Wine
Baby says he'd really love a party
We'll get some friends together feelin' fine
Any friend of mine is worth his habit
A belly full of baby's Bluebird Wine
And It's all right
I've just hit my stride
Right off the bat

Top Emmylou Harris, When I Stop Dreaming

When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop loving you
The worst that I've ever been hurt in my life
The first time I ever have wanted to die
Was the night when you told me, you loved someone new
And you asked me if I could forget
When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop loving you
You may teach the flowers to bloom in the snow
You may take a pebble and teach it to grow
You may teach all the raindrops to return to the clouds
But you can't teach my heart to forget
When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop loving you
When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop loving you
When I stop dreaming

Top Emmylou Harris, She

She, she came from the land of the cotton
A land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
And she, she worked and she slaved so hard
A big old field was her backyard in the delta sun
Oh, but she sure could sing, oh yeah she sure could sing
Then he looked down and he took a little pity
The whole town swore he decided, he'd help her some
And he didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
For deep inside his heart he knew she was the only one
And oh, but she sure could sing, my, my she sure could sing
She had faith and she had believin'
Led all the people together in a singin'
And she prayed every night to the Lord up above
Hallelujah, oh hallelujah
They, would walk singin' songs by the river
Even when she knew for sure, she have to go away
And she never knew what her life was to give her
Never had to worry about it for one single day
Oh, but she sure could sing, na, na but she sure could sing

Top Emmylou Harris, Heartbreak Hill

Long long time ago when we were young
You swore to me, I would be the one
I would be the one you loved
But we had to part
You asked me to wait for you
To keep you in my heart
To keep you in my heart
Night after lonely night
I'm waiting for you still
High above the lights of town
Here on heartbreak hill
Now maybe, I am the foolish kind to think of you so long
Have you found another love
Am I still the one
Am I still the one for you
But you're far away
Do you ever dream of coming back to me someday
Back to me someday
Night after lonely night
I'm waiting for you still
High above the lights of town
Here on heartbreak hill
On heartbreak hill, alone at night
I think of how you held me tight
And wonder if I ever will see you again
On heartbreak hill
Oh Lord, if I only could go back in time enough
I'd hold you in my arms again
Never let you go
Never let you go my love
And leave me far behind
High upon this lonely hill were you swore to be mine
You swore to be mine
Night after lonely night
I'm waiting for you still
High above the lights of town
Here on heartbreak hill
Night after lonely night
I'm waiting for you still
High above the lights of town
Here on heartbreak hill
Here on heartbreak hill

Top Emmylou Harris, HEAVEN ONLY KNOWS

Every night it's the same
I feel your heart turn cold as rain
And know that you'll be gone again
I hear the front door close
You say you got to go downtown
I guess there's someone else you've found
So why you're still coming round
Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows just why loving you should make me cry
Make me feel like I could die, that's the way it goes
Heaven only ever sees, how love's made a fool of me
I guess that's how it's meant to be but heaven only knows
I've heard it said that talk is cheap
But still your words they cut so deep
Lay me crying in my sleep
And the pain just grows
I don't know who's right or wrong
But all we had is dead and gone
So why you keep me hanging on
Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows just why loving you should make me cry
Make me feel like I could die, that's the way it goes
Heaven only ever sees, how love's made a fool of me
I guess that's how it's meant to be but heaven only knows
I'm going to turn and walk away
There's nothing left for me to say
It wouldn't change things anyway
Though I suppose
The love I gave was always true
Till I don't know what else to do
And how I'll ever get over you
Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows just why loving you should make me cry
Make me feel like I could die, that's the way it goes
Heaven only ever sees, how love's made a fool of me

Top Emmylou Harris, If You Were A Bluebird

If you were a bluebird you'd be a sad one
I'd give you a true word but you've already had one
If you were a bluebird you'd be crying
You'd be flying home
If you were a raindrop you'd shine like a rainbow
And if you were a train stop the conductor would sing low
If you were a raindrop you'd be falling
You'd be calling home
If you were a hotel honey, you'd be a grand one
But, if you hit a slow spell do you think you could stand one?
If you were a hotel well I'd lean on your doorbell
I'd call you my home
If I was a highway I'd stretch alongside you
I'd help you pass by ways that had dissatisfied you
If I was a highway well I'd be stretching

Top Emmylou Harris, Lonely Street

I'm looking for that lonely street
I've got a sad, sad tale to tell
I need a place to go and weep
Where's this place called lonely street
A place where there's just loneliness
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and memories meet
Where's this place called lonely street
Perhaps upon that lonely street
There's someone such as I
Who came to bury broken dreams
And watch an old love die
A place where there's just loneliness
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and memories meet
Where's this place called lonely street

Top Emmylou Harris, I Still Miss Someone

At my door the leaves are falling
The cold wild wind will come
Sweethearts walk by together
And I still miss someone
No I never got over those blue eyes
I see them everywhere
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there
I go out to wild parties
To look for a little fun
But I find the darkened corner
For I still miss someone
No I never got over those blue eyes
I see them everywhere
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there
I wonder if he's sorry
For leaving what we begun
There's someone for me somewhere
And I still miss someone

Top Emmylou Harris, Icy Blue Heart

(John Hiatt)
She came on to him like a slow moving cold front
His beer was warmer that the look in her eye
She sat on the stool, and she said "What do you want
She said Give me a love that don't freeze up inside
He said, I have melted some hearts in my time dear
But to sit next to you Lord I shiver and shake
And if I knew love, well I don't think I'd be here
Askin' myself if I had what it takes
To melt your icy blue heart
Should I start to turn what's been frozen for years
Into a river of tears
These days we all play cool calm and collected
Our lips could turn blue just shooting the breeze
But under the frost, wee thought he detected
A warm blush of red, and the touch of her knee
He said you're a beauty like I've never witnessed
And I've seen the northern lights dance in the air
I've felt the cold that can follow the first kiss
And there's not enough heat in the fires burning there
To melt your icy blue heart
Should I start to turn what's been frozen for years
Into a river of tears

Top Emmylou Harris, You Been On My Mind

(Rodney Crowell)
Guess it's time for me to say just how it is that I feel today
Today is just like any other day cause you've been on my mind
It really hasn't been that long but it's funny where the time has flown
Old memories just keep holding on and you been on my mind
You been on my mind sometimes
I think I must be going blind
I've seen a world baby without you
But I don't see myself there too
Hardly does a day go by when I don't see your clear blue eyes
Many night I just wonder why and you been on my mind
You've been on my mind so long
I've been thinking that something was wrong
I've told myself I should forget
But I don't seem to have it yet
I don't dream that you might change I don't think that I'm acting strange
I tell myself it's all in vain and you been on my mind
You've been on my mind I've said
Till it's all that's in my head
Yes I know what I must do
But I don't think you'll be there too
Guess it's time for me to go but as it is I'll never know
Just what it is that I long for so And you been on my mind

Top Emmylou Harris, Better Off Without You

(Marshall Chapman/Dennis Walker/Fontaine Brown)
Room 16, the Palms Motel
Now I can rest behind that door
My life with you's become a living hell
Don't wanna live like that no more
And whatever it will take
I will do to make this final break
Yeah, better off without you
Better off without you
Better off without you in my life
So I'll unpack my bag
And kick off these old shoes
This room is a good as anyplace I've ever been
For lookin' at the truth
Now it's all so clear to me
What a blind man could plainly see
Yeah, better off without you
Better off without you
Better off without you in my life
Oh, God, here comes the tears
I'm gonna stay right here
I'll cry. I've cried before
But I won't go back no more
Looks like a change in the weather
I can hear it start to rain
I hope it's not too long this time
Before the sun comes out again
But if it rains forever
I will still be better off
Yeah, better off without you
Better off without you

Top Emmylou Harris, Love Is

(Kate McCarrigle/Anna McCarrigle/Jane McCarrigle)
Love is a shiny car
Love is a steel guitar
Love is a battle scar
Love is a morning song
Love is a twelve-bar blues
Love is your blue suede shoes
Love is a heart abused
Love is a mind confused
And love is the pleasures I'm told
And for some love is still a band of gold
My love has no reason, has no rhyme
My love cross the double line
Love is a mine of gold
Love is a man to hold
Love is a drowning soul
Love is it's own reward
And love is the pleasures I'm told
And for some love is still a band of gold
My love has no reason, has no rhyme
My love cross the double line
And love is the pleasures I'm told
And for some love is still a band of gold
My love has no reason, has no rhyme
My love cross the double line
Oh, my love cross the double line

Top Emmylou Harris, No Regrets

(Tom Rush)
I know your leaving is too long overdue
For far too long I've had nothing new to show to you
Thru dry eyes I watched your plane
Fade off west of the moon
And it felt so strange to walk away alone
No regrets no tears goodbye
Don't want you back we'd only cry again
Say goodbye a---gain
The hours that were yours echo like empty rooms
The thoughts we used to share I now keep alone
I woke last night and spoke your name
Not thinking you were gone
And it felt so strange to lie awake alone
No regrets no tears goodbye
Don't want you back we'd only cry again
Say goodbye a---gain
Our friends have tried to turn my nights to day
Strange faces in your place can't keep the ghosts away
Just behind the darkest hour just before dawn
It still feels so strange to lead my life alone
No regrets no tears goodbye
Don't want you back we'd only cry again

Top Emmylou Harris, When They Ring Those Golden Bells

There's a land beyond the river
That we call the sweet forever
And we only reach that shore by faith, you see
Yes I want to see my Jesus
Shake His hand and have Him greet us
When they ring those golden bells for you and me
Don't you hear the bells a-ringin'
Can't you hear the angels singin'
It's a glory hallelujah jubilee
In the far off great forever just beyond the shining river
When they ring those golden bells for you and me
When our days have known their number
When in death we sweetly slumber
When the kingdom mends the spirit to be free
There'll be no more stormy weather
We'll live peacefully together
When they ring those golden bells for you and me
Don't you hear the bells a-ringin'
Can't you hear the angels singin'
It's a glory hallelujah jubilee
In the far off great forever just beyond the shining river
When they ring those golden bells for you and me

Top Emmylou Harris, When We're Gone, Long Gone

Trouble, we have known trouble
In our struggle just to get by
Many times the burden's been heavy
Still we carried on side by side
And when we're gone, long gone
The only thing that will have mattered
Is the love that we shared
And the way that we cared
When we're gone, long gone
And when we're walking together in glory
Hand in hand through eternity
It's the love that will be remembered
Not wealth, not poverty
And when we're gone, long gone
The only thing that will have mattered
Is the love that we've shared
And the way that we cared
When we're gone, long gone
When we're gone, long gone
The only thing that will have mattered
Is the love that we shared
And the way that we cared

Top Emmylou Harris, When He Calls

When darkness fills the valley
Fear and dread strive deep within us
But our burdens soon will be lifted
When these old homes turn to dust
When He calls I'm goin' to live with Jesus
In His kingdom He welcomes everyone
I shall not fear no more earthly perils
For He will carry me home
Now, Satan will come to tempt me
But I'll try to resist sinful ways
And I pray that I'll find salvation
In that peaceful home far away
When He calls I'm goin' to live with Jesus
In His kingdom He welcomes everyone
I shall not fear no more earthly peril
For He will carry me home
When He calls I'm goin' to live with Jesus
In His kingdom He welcomes everyone
I shall not fear no more earthly peril

Top Emmylou Harris, When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold

Featuring: Emmylou Harris, Sullivan
Memories that lingered in my heart
Memories that make my heart grow cold
Maybe we can live again, sweetheart
And my blue moon again will turn to gold
When my blue moon turns to gold again
When the rainbow turns the clouds away
When my blue moon turns to gold again
You'll be back within my arms to stay
The castles we built in dreams together
Are the sweetest stories ever told
And in my dreams they'll live again, sweetheart
And my blue moon again has turn to gold
When my blue moon turns to gold again
When the rainbow turns the clouds away
When my blue moon turns to gold again
You'll be back within my arms to stay
When my blue moon turns to gold again
When the rainbow turns the clouds away
When my blue moon turns to gold again

Top Emmylou Harris, We Shall Rise

(Traditional/Emmylou Harris)
In that Resurrection morning
When the trumpet of God shall sound
We shall rise, (hallelujah) we shall rise.
Then the saints will come rejoicing and
no tears will e'er be found
We shall rise, (hallelujah) we shall rise.
We shall rise, (hallelujah) we shall rise (amen)
We shall rise, (hallelujah)
In that Resurrection morning
when these prison bars are broken
We shall rise, (hallelujah) we shall rise.
In that Resurrection morning
when the shades of life has fled
We shall rise, (hallelujah) we shall rise.
In the day of glory dawning when the sea
gives up His dead
We shall rise, (hallelujah) we shall rise.
I shall see my blessed Savior
who so freely died for me
We shall rise, (hallelujah) we shall rise.
And our fathers and our mothers and our
loved ones we shall see

Top Emmylou Harris, Western Wall

I stand here by the Western Wall
Maybe a little of that wall stands inside us all
I shove my prayers in the crack
I've got nothing to lose, no one to answer back
All these years I've brought up for review
Wasn't taught this but I learned something new
And to answer the distant call
At the Western Wall
I've got a heart full of fear
And I offer it up on this altar of tears
Red dust settles deep in my skin
I don't know where it starts and where I begin
It's a crumbling pile of broken stones
It ain't much but it might be home
If I ever loved a place at all
It's the Western Wall
I don't know if God was ever a man
But if She was, I think I understand
Why He found a place to break His fall?

Top Emmylou Harris, Under Your Spell Again

You've got me under your spell again
Saying those things again
Making me believe that you're just mine
You've got me dreaming those dreams again
Thinking those things again
I've got to take you back just one more time
Well, I swore that the last time you let me down
That I wouldn't see you if you came around
But I can't tell my heart what's right or wrong
And I've been so lonely, dear, since you've been gone
You've got me under your spell again
Saying those things again
Making me believe that you're just mine
You've got me dreaming those dreams again
Thinking those things again
I've got to take you back just one more time
Well, everybody tells me, Lord, that I'm a fool
That I should have never put my faith in you
And way down deep inside I guess I know it's true
But no one else can make me feel the way you do
You've got me under your spell again
Saying those things again
Making me believe that you're just mine
You've got me dreaming those dreams again
Thinking those things again

Top Emmylou Harris, Valerie

Valerie (By Patti Scialfa)
Valerie
To the east and factories stand like fire breathing dragons against the sky.
And from their throats a scarlet river burns itself into smoky lullabies.
Over neon and fluorescent skies.
VALERIE CAN YOU HEAR THOSE ENGINES DRONE.
I WANTED TO GO TO MEXICO BUT I'M STRANDED HERE ALONE.
AND ONCE I KNEW A TRUE LOVE IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS SINCE HE'S GONE.
AND IF I COULD GET THAT FEELING BACK I'D GIVE UP EVERYTHING I OWN.
Sixteen days since I left corona and I traveled to this carnival town near Alberndeel.
And I rode the coaster there on the fairground. Twisted backbone of a beast that never heals. And I left some skin on fortunes wheel.
VALERIE CAN YOU HEAR THOSE ENGINES DRONE.
I WANTED TO GO TO MEXICO BUT I'M STRANDED HERE ALONE.
AND ONCE I KNEW A TRUE LOVE IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS SINCE HE'S GONE.
AND IF I COULD GET THAT FEELING BACK I'D GIVE UP EVERYTHING I OWN.
Everything's in slow motion now in this little border town.
I've come so close from so far.
Just to hide behind these windows here from the world outside.
I watch those cars and trucks raise trails of dust down the road as they pass by.
VALERIE CAN YOU HEAR THOSE ENGINES DRONE.
I WANTED TO GO TO MEXICO BUT I'M STRANDED HERE ALONE.
AND ONCE I KNEW A TRUE LOVE IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS SINCE HE'S GONE.

Top Emmylou Harris, To Know Him Is To Love Him -- With Dolly Parton & Linda Ronstadt

To know know know him
Is to love love love him
Just to see him smile
Makes my life worthwhile
To know know know him
Is to love love love him
And I do
I'll be good to him
I'll bring love to him
Everyone says there'll come a day
When I'll walk alongside of him
Yes just to know him
Is to love love love him
And I do
Why can't he see
How blind can he be
Someday he will see
That he was meant for me
To know know know him
Is to love love love him
Just to see him smile
Makes my life worthwhile
To know know know him
Is to love love love him

Top Emmylou Harris, Tragedy

Some say it's destiny
Whether triumph or tragedy
But I believe we cast our nets out on the sea
And nothing we gather comes for free
I would have paid down through the years
A price beyond rubies beyond tears
To keep you safe with me
But your suspicion and your fear
Your vow to let nobody near
Was your Trinity, such a tragedy
I drew the best hand you'd ever hold
Then cashed my winnings in long ago
Settled for silver how could I know
You were waiting with the gold
I could have caused your heart to yield
But I was only a disturbance in the field
Of your dreams
And I will never see you cry
You won't be with me when I die
A waste of you and me, a tragedy
We took the wrong train to kingdom come
No more damage can be done, baby
It's just what the world don't need
It's another stinkin' tragedy
That's how the story goes
Our chapter's coming to a close
We are history
But I will always think of you
Everyday until my days are through

Top Emmylou Harris, Another Pot O' Tea

Put on another pot o' tea
'Cause I'm in love with the Irish accent to your story
And I need someone to help me
Well, they say that now you don't talk straight
And of late it's been my lot to be afraid
To remember you by anything
But memories I already keep
Put another pot o' tea
'Cause I'm love with the Irish accent to your story
And now I need some sympathy
It's harder when it takes so long to leave
The table where we all learned to laugh and learned to grieve
Over the pain that came so close to you
It comes so close to me today
So, put another pot o' tea
'Cause I'm in love with the Irish accent to your story

Top Emmylou Harris, Away In A Manger

Away in a manger, no crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus, laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky, looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes
I love You, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky

Top Emmylou Harris, Black Gypsy

Broken bottles, broken songs
Broken people been in town too long
Where's everyone gone
Ooh, baby this city gonna break your heart
Oh, gipsy please tell me
Where everyone's gone
Never had a second name
Never spoke of why we came
Fellowship and Gloriousness
The loneliness of pain
Sitting in the rain
Why is the soul of me
Where is my heart
Where is the part of me
That I would give to you
If kindness were my style
Where is the soul of me
Where is my heart
In my own time
Better leave it behind
In a thousand bottles of wine
Oh, precious plans of standing strong
Why is life taking so long
I would tell you everything
If I only had the words to explain
Don't know nothing but the rain
Why is the soul of me
Where is my heart
Where is the part of me
That I would give to you
If kindness were my style
Where is the tenderness
Where is the warmth
In my own soul
That I let it grow old
Oh, it's getting so cold
Broken bottles, broken songs
Broken faces been in town too long
Where has everyone gone
Oh, baby this city gonna break your heart
Oh, gipsy please tell me
Where everyone's gone
Oh, gipsy please tell me
Where everyone's gone
Where everyone's gone

Top Emmylou Harris, Blue Train

Watching the long faces
Riding this rundown track
And the lost places
From a dream that never brings them back
And the sad truth is
Nothing but a cold hard fact
I'm riding the blue train
Over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train
Counting the burned bridges
Trailing this rusted wreck
As our back pages
Scatter in the dust we left
Like a pearl necklace
Falling from around my neck
I'm riding the blue train
Over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train
Away, down the low road
A ticket to an empty room
A rendezvous unknown
I'm riding the blue train
Over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
And I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train
I'm riding the blue train
Over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there

Top Emmylou Harris, Beyond the Great Divide

There'll be greener pastures
Across that border line
We'll see new horizons, my darlin'
Far beyond the great divide
Pools of clear blue waters
Star light in the sky
You'll be mine forever my darlin'
Far beyond the great divide
Somewhere in the distance
Northern lights will shine
You'll be there beside me my darlin'
Far beyond the great divide
You'll be mine forever my darlin'

Top Emmylou Harris, Big Black Dog

A big black dog
Little too much gray around the muzzle
A big black dog
Why she ended up at the pound is a puzzle
A big black dog
Did she run away
Because somebody didn't treat her right?
Did they leave her out in the cold night air
Too lonely night?
A big black dog
A big black dog
I found her one day
Down there are the at the men's room
A big black dog
Waiting in a cage in line for the death row
Big black dog
Did somebody put her out on the road
And did just not care?
Did they think an old dog is too much trouble
For them to bear?
A big black dog
Her name is Bella, Bella
You're not brown, you're not yellow
Bella, Bella
My big black dog
Big black dogs, they're everywhere
Looking for a home, they're hungry and scared
All they need is food and attention
To give back love, sometimes redemption of sin
You could find them here in a big black dog
A big black dog
She may be a little rough around the edges
A big black dog
When you throw a ball, she'll always go and fetch it
Big black dog
With a brand new leash and a brand new collar
It's a brand new game
I love to see the way she runs to me
When I holler out her name
My big black dog
Her name is Bella, Bella
You're not brown, you're not yellow
Bella, Bella
My big black dog

Top Emmylou Harris, Bang The Drum Slowly

I meant to ask you how to fix that car
I always meant to ask you about the war
And what you saw across a bridge too far
Did it leave a scar
Or how you navigated wings of fire and steel
Up where heaven had no more secrets to conceal
And still you found the ground beneath your wheels
How did it feel
Bang the drum slowly, play the pipe lowly
To dust be returning from dust we begin
Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy
Above and below me world without end
I meant to ask you how when everything seemed lost
And your fate was in a game of dice they tossed
There was still that line that you would never cross
At any cost
I meant to ask you how you lived what you believed
With nothing but your heart up your sleeve
And if you ever really were deceived
By the likes of me
Bang the drum slowly, play the pipe lowly
To dust be returning from dust we begin
Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy
Above and below me world without end
Gone now is the day and gone the sun
There is peace tonight all over Arlington
But the songs of my life will still be sung
By the light of the moon you hung
I meant to ask you how to plow that field
I meant to bring you water from the well
And be the one beside you when you fell
Could you tell
Bang the drum slowly, play the pipe lowly
To dust be returning from dust we begin
Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy

Top Emmylou Harris, Beautiful Star of Bethlehem

Beautiful Star of Bethlehem
Shining afar through shadows dim
Giving the light to those who long have gone
Guiding the Wise Men on their way
Unto the place where Jesus lay
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, shine on
Oh Beautiful Star (Beautiful, Beautiful Star)
Of Bethlehem (Star of Bethlehem)
Shine upon us until the glory dawns
Give us the light to light the way
Unto the land of perfect day
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, shine on
Beautiful Star the hope of light
Guiding the pilgrims through the night
Over the mountains 'til the break of dawn
Into the light of perfect day
It will give out a lovely ray
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, shine on
Oh Beautiful Star (Beautiful, Beautiful Star)
Of Bethlehem (Star of Bethlehem)
Shine upon us until the glory dawns
Give us the light to light the way
Unto the land of perfect day
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, shine on
Beautiful Star the hope of rest
For the redeemed, the good and the blessed
Yonder in glory when the crown is won
Jesus is now that star divine
Brighter and brighter He will shine
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, shine on
Oh Beautiful Star (Beautiful, Beautiful Star)
Of Bethlehem (Star of Bethlehem)
Shine upon us until the glory dawns
Give us the light to light the way
Unto the land of perfect day

Top Emmylou Harris, Bad News

Bad news black day there's been
A wreck on the highway
Drivin' fast in distress hit a curve
And died in the darkness
He'll never know how much
I lose bad news
Bad news sirens whine he rode
The devil down the white line
Johnny Walker by his side
Always out there lookin' for the last ride
He'll never know how much

Top Emmylou Harris, Ballad Of Sally Rose

Her mama picked him up in south Minnesota
He promised her the world but they never got that far
For he was last seen in that '59 DeSoto
When Sally was born in the black hills of Dakota
She was washed in the blood of the dying Sioux nation
Raised with a proud but a wandering heart
And she knew that her roots were in the old reservation
But she had stars in her eyes and greater expectations
No rings on her fingers, no bells on her toes
With bugs on her headlights and runs in her hose
Through the valley of the shadow of Roosevelt's nose
Adios South Dakota, adios Sally Rose
They've got a national monument carved out of stone
On the side of a mountain where her forefathers roamed
Playin' cowboys and Indians, right under the nose
Of Theodore Roosevelt and the sweet Sally Rose
So she left Rapid City in the blue moonlight hour
With her eye on the highway and her foot on the floor
And turnin' the dial, she was pulled by the power
Of the word coming out of that broadcasting tower
No rings on her fingers, no bells on her toes
With bugs on her headlights and runs in her hose
Through the valley of the shadow of Roosevelt's nose

Top Emmylou Harris, Emmylou Harris

I won't have to chop no wood
I can be bad or I can be good
I can be any way that I feel
One of these days
Might be a woman that's dressed in black
Be a hobo by the railroad track
I'll be gone like the wayward wind one of these days
One of these days it will soon be all over cut and dry
And I won't have this urge to go all bottled up inside
One of these days I'll look back and I'll say I left in time
'Cause somewhere for me I know there's peace of mind
I might someday walk across this land
Carrying the Lord's book in my hand
Goin' cross the country singin' loud as I can
One of these days
But I won't have trouble on my back
Cuttin' like the devil with a choppin' axe
Got to shake it off my back, one of these days
One of these days it will soon be all over cut and dry
And I won't have this urge to go all bottled up inside
One of these days I'll look back and I'll say I left in time
'Cause somewhere for me I know there's peace of mind

Top Emmylou Harris, I Had My Heart Set On You

On our wedding day did you lie
Did you know that someday you'd say goodbye
Now that you're gone another just won't do
I had my heart set on you
We were so young when we met
Sweet memories linger yet
You were the one who made my dreams come true
I had my heart set on you
As the years come and go does your heart mind
When you think of the girl you left behind
I still wear your ring 'cause when I said I do
I had my heart set on you

Top Emmylou Harris, Here, There And Everywhere

Here making each day of the year
Changing my life with one wave of his hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there
Running my hands through his hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking but he doesn't know she's there
I want him everywhere and if he's beside me
I know I need never care
But to love him is to meet him everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching his eyes and hoping I'm always there
To be there and everywhere, here, there and everywhere
I want him everywhere and if he's beside me
I know I need never care
Oh, but to love him is to meet him everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching his eyes, hoping I'm always there

Top Emmylou Harris, Jambalaya

Goodbye Joe, me gotta go, me, oh, my, oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
My Yvonne, sweetest one, me, oh, my, oh
Son of a gun, we're gonna have big fun on the bayou
Well jambalaya, craw fish pie and fill a gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my cher amieo
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar, and be gayo
Son of a gun, we're gonna have big fun on the bayou

Dress in style, go hog wild, me, oh, my, oh

Well jambalaya, craw fish pie and fill a gumbo

Top Emmylou Harris, Wild Montana Skies

He was born in the Bitterroot Valley in the early mornin' rain
Wild geese over the water, headin' north and home again
Bringin? a warm wind from the south, bringin? the first taste of the spring
His mother took him to her breast, softly she did sing
Oh, Montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies
His mother died that summer an' he never learned to cry
He never knew his father, he never did ask why
And he never knew the answers that would make an easy way
But he learned to know the wilderness an' to be a man that way
His mother?s brother took him in to his family and his home
Gave him a hand that he could lean on and a strength to call his own
And he learned to be a farmer an' he learned to love the land
An' he learned to read the seasons an' he learned to make a stand
Oh, Montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies
On the eve of his twenty-first birthday, he set out on his own
He was thirty years and runnin? when he found his way back home
Ridin? a storm across the mountains an' an achin? in his heart
Said, he came to turn the pages and to make a brand new start
Now he never told the story of the time that he was gone
Some say, he was a lawyer, some say he was a John
There was something in the city that he said, he couldn?t breathe
There was something in the country that he said, he couldn?t leave
Oh, Montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies
Now some say, he was crazy an' some are glad he?s gone
Some of us will miss him, we?ll try to carry on
Giving a voice to the forest, giving a voice to the dawn
Giving a voice to the wilderness an' the land that he lived on
Oh, Montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies
Oh, Montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes

Top Emmylou Harris, Feelin' Single - Seein' Double

(Wayne Kemp)
Well I really had a ball last night
I held all the pretty boys tight
I was feelin' single, seein' double
Wound up in a whole lotta trouble
But today I'll face the big fight
But I really had a ball last night
When I came home from work this morning
My baby was feelin' low
And he told me what was on his mind
Then he told me where I could go
Well I didn't go where he told me to
Cause the water was cold in the lake
Now there's something fishy 'bout this whole deal
I don't see where I made my mistake
Well I really had a ball last night
I held all the pretty boys tight
I was feelin' single, seein' double
Wound up in a whole lotta trouble
But today I'll face the big fight
But I really had a ball last night
When I woke up this morning
Like me, the sun was high
Well I started walking the long way home
Just to think of an alibi
Well I couldn't think of a darn gawn thing
That hadn't already been said
So I guess I better just play it by ear
Cause I'm already dead
Well I really had a ball last night
I held all the pretty boys tight
I was feelin' single, seein' double
Wound up in a whole lotta trouble
But today I'll face the big fight
But I really had a ball last night
Yes today I'll face the big fight

Top Emmylou Harris, Thing About You

Top Emmylou Harris, We Believe In Happy Endings

Who can tell just how it starts
Angry words and broken hearts
Till silently we sit apart
You and I
But in awhile the anger's gone
And we forget who's right or wrong
Then one of us will end it all
With just a smile
We believe in happy endings
Never breaking, only bending
Taking time enough for mending
The hurt inside
We believe in new beginnings
Giving in and forgiving
We believe happy endings
You and I
Just a word is all it takes
And so it pass the silence breaks
And looking back it makes us ache
For what we've done
And so we cling together now
And wonder why we're oh, so proud
When all that matters anyhow
Is our love
We believe in happy endings
Never breaking, only bending
Taking time enough for mending
The hurt inside
We believe in new beginnings
Giving in and forgiving
We believe in happy endings

Top Emmylou Harris, That Lovin' You Feelin' Again

When I saw you standing there on the street
I found myself by your side
I started wanting you again
There's just no way to hide
From that old loving you feeling again
It's really got me reeling again
It only seems to stop to start
All over again with you
I remember how you always give
That certain look in your eyes
You're not easy to resist
But I just walked on by
With that loving old feeling again
It's really got me reeling again
Only seems to stop to start
All over again with you, loving you feeling with you
We were so close, we were too far apart
I gave you my love, I wanted your heart
Without yesterday haunting the way
Maybe we'd still be together
Sharing that loving you feeling again
It's really got me reeling again
Will it ever stop and not start over again
That loving you feeling again
No matter how much I try this loving you feeling
It's taken such a long time to say goodbye
And getting over you is so hard to do
With this feeling loving you, that loving you feeling again
Loving you feeling again
Loving you feeling again
Loving you feeling again

Top Emmylou Harris, The Price I Pay

(Chris Hillman/Bill Wilds)
They tell me I'm the talk of the town
I've been staying home alone every night
It's nobody's business where I'm bound
As if to be alone and lonely just ain't right
On a old freight train moving down the line
I'm counting each day and every minute that your away
I've never been the stay at home kind
But for you it's just the price that I pay
It's just the price I pay for loving you
The price I pay for needing you so much
The price I pay for needing you
And putting all this time between us
I knew I was in trouble when we met
Dark clouds all around me I couldn't find the light
The hard time ain't hard to forget
I believe in love at first sight
I put my heart and soul on the line
And know your love is with me every day
Your picture always there on my mind
But for you it's just the price that I pay
It's just the price I pay for loving you
The price I pay for needing you so much
The price I pay for needing you

Top Emmylou Harris, Gulf Coast Highway

Gulf Coast Highway, he worked the rails
He worked the rice fields with their cold dark wells
He worked the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico
The only thing we've ever owned is this old house here by the road
And when he dies
He says he'll catch some blackbird's wing
And we will fly away to heaven
Come some sweet blue bonnet spring
She walked through springtime, when I was home
The days were sweet, our nights were warm
The seasons changed, the jobs would come
The flowers fade, and this old house felt so alone
When the work took me away
And when she dies
She said she'll catch some blackbird's wing
And she will fly away to heaven
Come some sweet blue bonnet spring
Highway 90, the jobs are gone
We tend our garden, we set the sun
This is the only place on earth blue bonnets grow
And once a year they come and go
At this old house here by the road
And when we die
We say we'll catch some blackbird's wing
We will fly away to heaven
Come some sweet blue bonnet spring
Yes, when we die, we say
We'll catch some blackbird's wing
And we will fly away together

Top Emmylou Harris, STAR OF BETHLEHEM

Ain't it hard when you wake up in the morning
And you find out that those other days are gone?
All you have is memories of happiness
Lingerin' on
All your dreams and your lovers won't protect you
They're only passing through you in the end
They'll leave you stripped of all that they can get to
And wait for you to come back again
Yet still a light is shining
From that lamp on down the hall
Maybe the star of Bethlehem

Top Emmylou Harris, Lover's Return

And so you have come back to me and say the old loves growing yet
You've tried through all these weary years you've tried too vainly to forget
Oh no I cannot take your hand God never gives is back our youth
The loving heart you slighted then was yours my friend in perfect truth
[ mandolin ]
Come close and let me see your face your raven hair is tinged with snow
Oh yes it is the same dear face I loved so many years ago
Oh no I cannot take your hand...
[ guitar ]
Farewell I think I love you yet as friend to friend God bless you dear
And guide you through these weary years to where the skies are always clear
Oh no I cannot take your hand...

Top Emmylou Harris, Love That Will Never Grow Old

Go to sleep, may your sweet dreams come true
Just lay back in my arms for one more night
I've this crazy old notion that calls me sometimes
Saying this one's the love of our lives.
Refrain:
Cause I know a love that will never grow old
And I know a love that will never grow old.
When you wake up the world may have changed
But trust in me, I'll never falter or fail
Just the smile in your eyes, it can light up the night,
And your laughter's like wind in my sails.
(Refrain)
Lean on me, let our hearts beat in time,
Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long.
Who cares where we go on this rutted old road
In a world that may say that we're wrong.

Top Emmylou Harris, Mama's Hungry Eyes

A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labour camp
Stand out in this memory I revived;
Cause my daddy raised a family there, with two hard
working hands
And tried to feed my mama's hungry eyes.
He dreamed of something better, and my mama's faith was
strong
And us kids were just to young to realize
That another class of people put us somewhere just below;
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try.
She only wanted things she really needed;
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.
I remember daddy praying for a better way of life
But I don't recall a change of any size;
Just a little loss of courage, as their age began to show
And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes.
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try.
She only wanted things she really needed;
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.

Top Emmylou Harris, Making Plans

You say tomorrow you're going that's so hard for me to believe
I'm making plans for the heartaches cause you're making plans to leave
The tears for me will be falling like a tree shedding its leaves
I'm making plans for the teardrops cause you're making plans to leave
You're making plans to forget me I'm making plans to miss you
I'm getting ready to grieve
I'm making plans to be lonesome cause you're making plans to leave
[ viola ]
I'm making plans to be lonesome cause you're making plans to leave

Top Emmylou Harris, MAGDALENE LAUNDRIES

I was an unmarried girl
I'd just turned twenty-seven
When they sent me to the sisters
For the way men looked at me
Branded as a jezebel
I knew I was not bound for Heaven
I'd be cast in shame
Into the Magdalene laundries
Most girls come here pregnant
Some by their own fathers
Bridget got that belly
By her parish priest
We're trying to get things white as snow
All of us woe-begotten-daughters
In the steaming stains
Of the Magdalene laundries
Prostitutes and destitutes
And temptresses like me--
Fallen women--
Sentenced into dreamless drudgery ...
Why do they call this heartless place
Our Lady of Charity?
Oh charity!
These bloodless brides of Jesus
If they had just once glimpsed their groom
Then they'd know, and they'd drop the stones
Concealed behind their rosaries
They wilt the grass they walk upon
They leech the light out of a room
They'd like to drive us down the drain
At the Magdalene laundries
Peg O'Connell died today
She was a cheeky girl
A flirt
They just stuffed her in a hole!
Surely to God you'd think at least some bells should
ring!
One day I'm going to die here too
And they'll plant me in the dirt
Like some lame bulb
That never blooms come any spring
Not any spring
No, not any spring

Top Emmylou Harris, Loving the Highway Man

(Andy Prieboy)
The wind is a warning these fields turn to sand
My family will not answer me now
Damned damned damned I am loving the highway man
Damned damned damned I am loving the highway man
Damned damned damned I am loving the highway man
Don't say where this ring came from from whose shaking hands
Don't say who lies bleeding for me
Damned damned damned I am loving the highway man
Damned damned damned I am loving the highway man
Loving the highway man
There's a hole in the ceiling there's no pleasure in my gain
My heart is in prison
Damned damned damned I am loving the highway man
Damned damned damned I am loving the highway man
Loving the highway man

Top Emmylou Harris, My Antonia

He said, "Oh my love, oh my Antonia
You with the dark eyes and palest of skin
Tonight, I am going from Santa Maria
Wait for me till I'm in your arms once again"
She held me, she kissed me, begged me not to leave her
To cross on the mountain, my fortune to win
But her letter now tells me, she died of a fever
And I'll never see her in this world again
You are my sorrow, you are my splendor
You are my shelter through storm and through strife
You are the one I will always remember
All of the days of my life
I curse the ambition that took me far from her
For treasure not ever so fine or so fair
As the flash of her smile or the touch of her fingers
The fire in her heart and the smell of her hair
She left me a note that cried, "Do not weep for me
Behold you are with me as sure as the stars
That rise in the evening to shine down upon me
Behold I am with you wherever you are"
I can still hear him, he calls to me only
What once was begotten shall come to no end
But the road is so long and the nights are so lonely
My soul just to hold him in this world again
You are my sorrow, you are my splendor
You are my shelter through storm and through strife
You are the one I will always remember
All of the days of my life
Oh my love, oh my Antonia
You with the dark eyes and palest of skin
How could I know that night in Santa Maria

Top Emmylou Harris, Moon Song

Followed your road till the sky ran out
Followed your love till love was in doubt
I Followed your love till it never really was at all
Feeling stupid and hollow
Now the moon's gonna follow me home
Waited for you till the snow fell down
Over my skin like a thin nightgown
Waited for you but you never came around at all
Waited for you till they pulled the plug
Bartender emptied out his big tip jug
They swept all the floors
Vacuumed the rugs and went home
Drank all I could swallow
Now the moon's gonna follow me home
Time go easy on me tonight
'Cos I'm one of the lost sheep
Take what you must, take what you must
Of what I've lost as I have roamed
And let the moon follow me home
Time go easy on me tonight
'Cos I'm one of the lost sheep
Take what you must, take what you must
Of what I've lost as I have roamed
And let the moon follow me home
Followed your tears with a washing pail
I followed your story, I followed your tail
Followed you straight through the doors of your jail cell too
Followed your voice in the darkness soft
A wind came through and carried it off
Followed your love till it never really was at all
Drank all I could swallow
Now the moon's gonna follow me home

Top Emmylou Harris, Michelangelo

Last night I dreamed about you
I dreamed that you were older
You were looking like Picasso
With a scar across your shoulder
You were kneeling by the river
You were digging up the bodies
Buried long ago
Michelangelo
Last night I dreamed about you
I dreamed you were a pilgrim
On a highway out alone to find
The mother of your children
Who were still unborn and waiting
In the wings of some desire
Abandoned long ago
Michelangelo
Were you there at Armageddon?
Was Paris really burning?
Could I have been the one to pull you
From the point of no returning?
And did I hear you
Calling out my name?
Or was it forgotten long ago
Michelangelo?
Last night I dreamed about you
I dreamed that you were riding
On a blood red painted pony
Up where the heavens were dividing
And the angels turned to ashes
You came tumbling with them
To earth so far below
Michelangelo
Last night I dreamed about you
I dreamed that you were dying
In a field of thorn and roses
With a hawk above you crying
For the warrior slain in battle
From an arrow driven
Deep inside you long ago
Michelangelo
Did you suffer at the end?
Would there be no one to remember?
Did you banish all the old ghosts
With the terms of your surrender?
And could you hear me
Calling out your name?
Well, I guess that I will never know
Michelangelo
Last night I dreamed about you
I dreamed that you were weeping
And your tears poured down like diamonds
For a love beyond all keeping
And you caught them one by one
In a million silk bandanas
That I gave you long ago

Top Emmylou Harris, Maybe Tonight

Maybe tonight I'll get lucky
I've been lonely too long
Maybe tonight some dark stranger
Will hear me singing this song
I've been down, I've played around
I don't like it that way
Love, won't you treat me right
Maybe tonight?
Maybe this time I'll be saying
The words that I wanted to say
Maybe this time I'll be staying
For more than just a day
I've been down, I've played around
I don't like it that way
Love, won't you treat me right
Maybe tonight?
I'm so tired of being free
Of living just for me
Oh love, won't you treat me right
Maybe tonight?
Maybe tonight I'll get lucky
I've been lonely too long
Maybe tonight some dark stranger
Will hear me singing this song
I've been down, I've played around
I don't like it that way
Love, won't you treat me right
Maybe tonight?
Well, I'm so tired of being free
Of living just for me
Oh love, won't you treat me right
Maybe tonight?
Well, I'm so tired of being free
Of living just for me
Oh love, won't you treat me right
Maybe tonight
Oh love, won't you treat me right

Top Emmylou Harris, My Songbird

Songbird in a golden cage
She'd prefer the blue
How I crave the liquor of her song
Poor bird who has done no harm
What harm could she do
She shall be my prisoner her lifelong
My songbird wants her freedom
Now, don't you think I know
But I can't find it in myself
To let my songbird go
I just can't let her go
Oh Lord, when your jeweler's eye
Peers into my soul
Oh Lord, I am overcome with shame
Take me Lord, and purify
Heal me with a word
Oh, I beg a gift I dare not claim
My songbird wants her freedom
Now, don't you think I know
But I can't find it in myself
To let my songbird go

Top Emmylou Harris, Darkest Hour Is Just Before Down

(Ralph Stanley)
The sun is slowly sinkin'
The day's almost gone
Still darkness falls around us
And we must journey on
The darkest hour is just before dawn
The narrow way leads home
Lay down your soul at Jesus' feet
The darkest hour is just before dawn
Like a shepherd out on the mountain
A-watchin' the sheep down below
He's coming back to claim us
Will you be ready to go
The darkest hour is just before dawn
The narrow way leads home
Lay down your soul
Let Jesus in
The darkest hour is just before dawn

Top Emmylou Harris, Someday My Ship Will Sail

Life is just a passing moment
On an never ending trail
Though my pathway wanders for a heart
Someday my ship will sail
But I will walk this road awhile
And I will walk it with a smile
I will take it in my stride
Someday, I'll be satisfied
There's eternity before me
Just beyond the darkening veil
Oh my spirit hollers to go on
Someday my ship will sail
But I will walk this road awhile
And I will walk it with a smile
I will take it in my stride
Someday, I'll be satisfied

Top Emmylou Harris, Strong Hand (For June)

He was a tall man raised up from the fields out pickin' cotton
In a hard land where the ground was poor and the wood was rotten
But when he saw her all those bad times were forgotten
And he believed, he believed
She was the strong hand a good sister and a daughter
Lookin' for one man to love the way that her mama'd taught her
And when she saw him, she thanked God for what He'd brought her
She believed, she believed
It's a miracle how one soul finds another
Just one miracle is all it took my brother
For l have seen them as they walk this world together
And I believe, l believe
Oh it's a sad thing when one must leave the other
And fly up where the voice rings out with all the multitudes that gather
But for a short while down here no song ever sounded sweeter
And we believed, we believed
For it's a miracle how one soul finds another
Just one miracle is all it took my brother
And l will see them someday they'll walk again together

Top Emmylou Harris, Jordan

(Fred Rich)
Come in as you tread life's journey
Take Jesus as your daily guide
Though you may feel pure and safely
Without Him walking by your side
But when you come to make the crossing
At the ending of your pilgrim's way
If you ever will meet our Savior
You'll surely meet Him on that day
Now look at that cold Jordan
Look at these deep waters
Look at that wide river
Oh hear the mighty billows roar
You'd better take Jesus with you
He's a true companion
For I'm sure without Him
That you never will make it o'er
That awful Day of Judgment
Is coming in the by and by
We'll se our Lord descending
In Glory from on high
So let us keep in touch with Jesus
And in his grace the Love of God
That we may be ever called ready
When He calls us over Jordan's Tide
Now look at that cold Jordan
Look at these deep waters
Look at that wide river
Oh hear the mighty billows roar
You'd better take Jesus with you
He's a true companion
For I'm sure without Him
That you never will make it o'er
Oh what, what you gonna do
Oh what, what you gonna do
Oh how, how you gonna feel

Top Emmylou Harris, Sweet Chariot

Oh, my darlin'
I have searched the desert and the sky
Just to find you
And take the mourning from my eyes
When I lost you
I suffered and you were sanctified
We are all born to live
We are all bound to die
Swing down sweet chariot
The flesh will fall and the bones will rot
But from my sorrow you'll carry me not
My heart is bound, my soul is chained to the rock
Rock of ages cleft for me
I swung down my hammer out in Joshua Tree
It rang on the mountain and rolled to the sea
And it will ring from the rock
Oh, my children
Sorrow shall come to each of us
All our trials
Will soon lay buried in the dust
Long forgotten
But quick as silver turns to rust
Love is found
When the heart is lost
Swing down sweet chariot
The flesh will fall and the bones will rot
But from my sorrow you'll carry me not
My heart is bound, my soul is chained to the rock
Rock of ages cleft for me
I swung down my hammer out in Joshua Tree
It rang on the mountain and rolled to the sea
And it will ring from the rock
Swing down sweet chariot
The flesh will fall and the bones will rot
But from my sorrow you'll carry me not
My heart is bound, my soul is chained to the rock
Rock of ages cleft for me
I swung down my hammer out in Joshua Tree
It rang on the mountain and rolled to the sea
And it will ring from the rock
Swing down sweet chariot
The flesh will fall and the bones will rot

Top Emmylou Harris, Gold Watch And Chain

Oh I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you'll love me again
Darling, how could I stay here without you
I have nothing to ease my poor heart
This old world would seem sad, love, without you
Tell me now that we never will part
Oh I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you'll love me again
Take back all the gifts you have given
A diamond ring and a lock of your hair
And a card with your picture upon it
It's a face that is false but is fair
Oh I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you'll love me again
Oh, the white rose that blooms in the garden
It grows with the love of my heart
It broke through on the day that I met you
It will die on the day that we part
Oh I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you'll love me again

Top Emmylou Harris, I'll Go Stepping Too

Don't think that I'll be hangin' 'round while you're havin' fun
I won't sit there cryin' over you
Well from now on when you step out I'll tell you what I'll do
I'll lock the door, put out the cat and I'll go steppin' too
Yes I'll go steppin' too, my honey I'll go steppin' too
I'll lock the door, put out the cat and I'll go steppin' too
Now every time you come in late and we begin to fight
You tell me there are more fish in the sea
But the bait ain't what it used to be and I got news for you
Now after this when you go out well I'll go steppin' too
Yes I'll go steppin' too, my honey I'll go steppin' too
I'll lock the door, put out the cat and I'll go steppin' too
From now on when you come in and won't tell where you been
With your hair messed up and your clothes don't fit you right
Well I don't care if I find perfume on you too
Well you will know that I have been steppin' just like you
Yes I'll go steppin' too, my honey I'll go steppin' too
I'll lock the door, put out the cat and I'll go steppin' too
Yes I'll go steppin' too, my honey I'll go steppin' too

Top Emmylou Harris, Wayfaring Stranger

(Brian Ahern)
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling thru this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright world to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I know dark clouds will gather around me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep
I'm going there to my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm only going over Jordan

Top Emmylou Harris, That Lovin' You Feelin' Again -- With Roy Orbison

When I saw you standin' there on the street
I found myself by your side
I started wantin' you again
There's just no way to hide
From that old lovin' you feelin' again
It's really got me reelin' again
It only seems to stop
To start all over again with you
I remember how you'd always get
That certain look in your eyes
You're not easy to resist
But I just walked on by
With that old lovin' you feelin' again
(Lovin' you feelin' again)
It's really got me reelin' again
(Lovin' you feelin' again)
Only seems to stop
To start all over again with you
That lovin' you feelin' with you
We were so close, we were too far apart
I gave you my love, I wanted your heart
Without yesterday caught in the way
Maybe, we'd still be together
Sharin' that lovin' you feelin' again
(Lovin' you feelin' again)
It's really got me reelin' again
(Lovin' you feelin' again)
Will it ever stop
And not start over again
That lovin' you feelin' again
No matter how much I try
(Lovin' you feelin')
This lovin' you feelin' is why
(Lovin' you feelin')
It's taken such a long, long time
To say goodbye
And gettin' over you
Is so hard to do
With this feelin', lovin' you
That lovin' you feelin' again
Lovin' you feelin' again
Lovin' you feelin' again

Top Emmylou Harris, Roses In The Snow

(Ruth Franks)
I met my darlin' in the springtime
When all the flowers were in bloom
And like the flowers our love blossomed
We married in the month of June
Our love was like a burning ember
It warmed us as a golden glow
We had sunshine in December
And threw our roses in the snow
Now God has taken my darlin'
And left me with a memory
A memory I will always cherish
Are these last words he said to me
Our love was like a burning ember
It warmed us as a golden glow
We had sunshine in December
And threw our roses in the snow
My darlin's buried on the hillside
Where all the wild spring flowers grow
And when winter snows start fallin'
On his grave I'll place a rose
Our love was like a burning ember
It warmed us as cold winds blow
We had sunshine in December

Top Emmylou Harris, The Boxer

(Paul Simon)
I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my existence
On a pocket full of mumbles such are promises
All lies in jest, till a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
Well I left my home and family I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station runnin' scared
Layin' low seeking out the poor quarters
Where the ragged people go, looking for the places
Only they would know
Li Li Li [etc.]
Only seeking workman's wages I come looking for a job
But I get no offers
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there
In a-laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was home
Going home
Where the New York City winters aren't a-bleding me
Bleeding me
Going home
Da Da Da [etc.]
In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every bloke that laid him down or cleft him
Till he cried out in his anger and his shame
I am leaving, I am leaving
But the fighter still remains

Top Emmylou Harris, Strong Hand (just One Miracle)

Top Emmylou Harris, Miss the Mississippi and You

I'm growing tired on the big city lights
Tired of the glamor and tired of the sights
In all my dreams, I am roaming once more
Back to my home on the old river shore
I am sad and weary, far away from home
Miss the Mississippi and you
Days are dark and dreary
Everywhere I go
Miss the Mississippi and you
Roaming the wide world over
Always along and blue
Nothing seems to cheer me under Heaven's door
Miss the Mississippi and you
I'm growing tired on the big city lights
Tired of the glamor and tired of the sights
In all my dreams, I am roaming once more
Back to my home on the old river shore
I am sad and weary, far away from home
Miss the Mississippi and you
Days are dark and dreary
Everywhere I go
Miss the Mississippi and you

Baby when you take a shot
I'll be your sweet spot
I'll be your sweet spot
Baby when you need to float
I'll be your lifeboat, I'll be your lifeboat

And you're looking for a state of grace
I'll be your leap of faith
Baby when you're growing old
I'll be your solid gold, I'll be your solid gold
When your ship don't come in
I'll be your thick and thin, I'll be your thick and thin
When your love is blind
I'll be your walk the line
When you've given all you've got
I'll be your sweet spot
I'll be your sweet spot
I'll be your sweet spot
I'll be your sweet spot

Oh the sun's gonna shine in my life once more
Love's gonna live here again
Thing's are gonna be the way they were before
Love's gonna live here again

And I know the days a coming

Top Emmylou Harris, LONG MAY YOU RUN

We've been through some things together
With trunks of memories still to come
We found things to do in stormy weather
Long may you run
Long may you run
Long may you run
Although these changes have come
With your chrome heart shining in the sun
Long may you run
Well it was back in Blind River in 1962
When I last saw you alive
Rollin' down that empty ocean road
Gettin' to the surf on time
Long may you run
Long may you run
Although these changes have come
With your chrome heart shining in the sun
Long may you run
Long may you run
Long may you run
Although these changes have come
With your chrome heart shining in the sun

Top Emmylou Harris, It's Not Love (But It's Not Bad)

(Glen Martin/Hank Cochran)
He was always there each time I needed you,
Holding on to me like I held on to you
We still don't have what you and I once had
No, It's Not Love, But it's not bad.
No, It's Not Love, not like our love It's Not Love,
But it keeps love from driving me mad
And I don't have to wonder who he's had
No, It's Not Love But it's not bad
I turn to him when you leave me alone,
Sometimes even when you're here you're still gone.
He's slowly changing what you leave so sad
No, It's Not Love, But it's not bad
No, It's Not Love, not like our love It's Not Love,
But it keeps love from driving me mad
And I don't have to wonder who he's had
No, It's Not Love But it's not bad

Top Emmylou Harris, Grievous Angel

(Gram Parsons/Thomas O. Brown)
Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich
And welcome me back to town
Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlour
And I'll tell you how it all went down
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town
And I remember something that you once told me
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you
We flew straight across that river bridge,
Last night half past two
The switchman waved his lantern goodbye and good day as we
Went rolling through
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel
And now I know just what I have to do
Cause I headed West to grow up with the country
Across those prairies with those waves of grain
And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee
The news I could bring I met up with the king
On his head an amphetamine crown
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
And headed out for some desert town
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town
And I remember something that you once told me
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down down down
And they all lead me straight back home to you
Twenty thousand roads I went down down down

Top Emmylou Harris, Devil In Disguise

She's a devil in disguise, you can see it in her eyes
She's tellin' dirty lies, she's a devil in disguise, in disguise
Now a woman like that, all she does is hate you
She doesn't know what makes a man a man
She'll talk about the time that she's been with you
She'll speak your name to everyone she can
She's a devil in disguise, you can see it in her eyes
She's tellin' dirty lies, she's a devil in disguise, in disguise
Unhappiness has been her close companion
Her world is full of jealousy and doubt
It gets her off to see a person crying
She's just the kind that you can do without
She's a devil in disguise, you can see it in her eyes
She's tellin' dirty lies, she's a devil in disguise, in disguise
Her number always turns up in your pocket
Whenever you are looking for a dime
It's alright to call her but I'll bet you
The moon is full and you're just wasting time
She's a devil in disguise, you can see it in her eyes
She's tellin' dirty lies, she's a devil in disguise, in disguise
In disguise, in disguise

Top Emmylou Harris, (Lost His Love) On Our Last Date

It's over our love affair
Too late now I find I care
Her sweet love
Never more I'll share
Now she's gone, I'm alone
I was wrong should have known
Took her home
After our last date
I searched for a simple way
To tell her what I had to say
I kissed her
Then I turned away
Set her free foolishly
Destiny, misery
Tragedy on our
Last date
Took my ring
From my trembling finger
Brushed the tears
From my baby's eyes
Walked away didn't know
That I'll soon miss her so
I guess I was too
Young to realize
So blind I couldn't see
How much she really meant to me
And that soon she
Would always be
On my mind in my heart
I was blind from the start
Lost her love

Top Emmylou Harris, Spanish Johnny

(Paul Siebel)
Those other years, the dusty years
We drove the big hers through
I tried to forget the miles we rode
And Spanish Johnny too
He'd sit beside a water ditch when all this herd was in
And he'd never harm a child but sing to his mandolin
The old talk, the old ways, and the dealin' of our game
But Spanish Johnny never spoke, but sing a song of Spain
And his talk with men was vicious talk
When he was drunk on gin
Ah, but those were golden things he said to his mandolin
We had to stand, we tried to judge, we had to stop him then
For the hand so gentle to a child had killed so many men
He died a hard death long ago before the road come in
And the night before he swung he sung to his mandolin
Well, we carried him out in the mornin' sun
A man that done no good
And we lowered him down in the cold clay
Stuck in a cross of wood
And a letter we wrote to his kinfolk
To tell them where he'd been

Top Emmylou Harris, Oh, Atlanta

(Bill Payne)
Well, there's a place down Kentucky
Said right down near Ohio
You can watch the planes at night
People line up to watch each flight
I said a-watchin' them planes
Well I wish I was on one
Sittin' here thinkin' 'bout my crazy dream
If I could only see him tonight
Oh Atlanta, Oh Atlanta
Whoah whoah Atlanta
Got to get back to you
You can drop me off on Peachtree
I got to feel that Georgia sun
And the people in Atlanta
They make you awful glad you come
I said a-watchin' them planes
Well I wish I was on one
Sittin' here thinkin' 'bout my crazy dream
If I could only see him tonight
Oh Atlanta, Oh Atlanta
Whoah whoah Atlanta
Got to get back to you
We'll go down, just you and me
Where the music plays all night
They've got the boogie band playin' that's bound for hell
When they get to movin' they never stop
They just keep on playin' that down home beat
(Keep on layin' down harmony)
Yeah I wish I was on one
Sittin' here thinkin' 'bout my crazy dream

Top Emmylou Harris, Millworker

(James Taylor)
Now my grandfather was a sailor,
He blew in off the water
My father was a farmer
I, his only daughter,
Took up with a no-good millworking man from Massachusetts
Who dies from too much whiskey
And leaves me these three faces to feed
Millwork ain't easy; mill-work ain't hard
Millwork, it ain't nothing but an awful boring job
I'm waiting for a day dream
To take me through the morning
And put me in my coffee break
Where I can have a sandwich and remember
Then it's me and my machine
For the rest of the morning
For the rest of the afternoon
And the rest of my life
Now my mind begins to wander
To the days back on the farm
I can see my father smiling at me,
Swingin' on his arm
I can hear my grand-dad's stories
Of the storms out on Lake Erie
Where vessels and cargos and fortunes
And sailor's lives were lost
Yes, but it's my life has been wasted,
And I have been the fool
To let this manufacture use my body for a tool.
I can ride home in the evening,
Staring at my hands
Swearing by my sorrow that a young girl
Ought to stand a better chance
So may I work the mills
Just as long as I am able
And never meet the man whose
Name is on the label
It be me and my machine
For the rest of the morning
For the rest of the afternoon

Top Emmylou Harris, I Don't Have To Crawl

(Rodney Crowell)
When you look at me
Like you don't know me
And you talk to me
Like you've never met me
I can leave you alone if i try
If I tried I could tell you goodbye
If I wanted to
I could be long gone
And I don't have to crawl
Then you call on me
As if I should run to you
You make your move
as if I should follow you
Well I don't have to be nobody's fool
I won't make no exception of you
I don't have to be nobody's fool
I don't make no exception of you
I don't have to crawl
I can just walk away
No I don't have to crawl
I don't have to get down on my knees
I don't have to crawl
I can just walk away

Top Emmylou Harris, You're Learning

You are learning what it's like to sit and cry
And wonder why your plans went wrong
You are learning how it feels when pain is real
To realize you're all alone
Yes, you're learning
We had the chance to be happy
Nothing stood in our way
If only you'd meant what you promised
We wouldn't crying today
You are learning that a lie can make you cry
For the truth your heart reveals
You are learning that a flirt can cause a hurt
Even though your love is real
Yes you're learning
We had the chance to be happy
Nothing stood in our way
If only you'd meant what you promised
We wouldn't crying today
You are learning that a lie can make you cry
For the truth your heart reveals
You are learning that a flirt can cause a hurt
Even though your love is real

Top Emmylou Harris, The first noel

Traditional - Arranged by Brian Ahern
The first Noel, the angel did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the the East, beyond them far;
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
This star drew night to the northwest,
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

Top Emmylou Harris, The Magdalene Laundries

; I was an unmarried girl
Id just turned twenty-seven
When they sent me to the sisters
For the way men looked at me
Branded as a jezebel
I knew I was not bound for heaven
Id be cast in shame
Into the magdalene laundries
Most girls come here pregnant
Some by their own fathers
Bridget got that belly
By her parish priest
Were trying to get things white as snow
All of us woe-begotten-daughters
In the streaming stains
Of the magdalene laundries
Prostitutes and destitutes
And temptresses like me--
Fallen women--
Sentenced into dreamless drudgery ...
Why do they call this heartless place
Our lady of charity?
Oh charity!
These bloodless brides of jesus
If they had just once glimpsed their groom
Then theyd know, and theyd drop the stones
Concealed behind their rosaries
They wilt the grass they walk upon
They leech the light out of a room
Theyd like to drive us down the drain
At the magdalene laundries
Peg oconnell died today
She was a cheeky girl
A flirt
They just stuffed her in a hole!
Surely to God youd think at least some bells should
ring!
One day Im going to die here too
And theyll plant me in the dirt
Like some lame bulb
That never blooms come any spring
Not any spring
No, not any spring

Top Emmylou Harris, The Bottle Let Me Down

Each night I leave the barroom when it?s over
Not feeling any pain at closing time
But tonight your memory found me much to sober
Couldn?t drink enough to keep you off my mind
Tonight the bottle let down
And let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I?d found
Tonight the bottle let down
I?ve always had a bottle I could turn to
And lately I?ve been turning everyday
But the wind don?t take effect the way it used to
And I?m hurting in an old familiar way
Tonight the bottle let down
And let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I?d found

Top Emmylou Harris, All Fall Down

Castles tall, houses small
Left alone, all fall down
Dreams so clear, disappear
Without a sound, all fall down
Lovers meet, lovers quarrel
Lonely boy, lonely girl
I lost him and I have found
Dreams like walls, all fall down
All fall down
(All fall down)
All fall down
(All fall down)
She don't want me to call her
And she's told me not to bother comin' round
All fall down
(All fall down)
All fall down
(All fall down)
When you take love for granted like I did
You're bound too see it all fall down
Castles tall, houses small
Left alone, all fall down
Dreams so clear, disappear

Top Emmylou Harris, High Powered Love

I've been running low on inspiration
Tired of that physical intrigue
There's nothing left to imagination
Living in a world that treats love so carelessly
I don't want no smooth talkin' lover
I can't play the role
It just leaves me cold
I need a high powered love
I wanna feel that lightning streak
High powered love
Got to be down in the heart with me
Sometimes it's hard to keep believing
There are too many pretty faces all skin deep
Now is there anyone left with teeth just a little uneven
And won't spend more time with a mirror than he does with me
If you're looking for a good time
A notch on your gun
Well I ain't the one
I want a high powered love
Got to have intensity
High powered love
Don't start the fire if you can't take the heat
I can't turn back
I'm on a mission
I know there's someone out there for me
I need a high powered love
One that'll defy gravity
High powered love
Got to be strong and keep on lifting me
Yeah, I need a high powered love
I wanna feel the lightning streak
High powered love
Got to be down in the heart with me

Top Emmylou Harris, Luxury Liner

(Gram Parsons)
Luxury liner, forty tons of steel
If I don't find my baby now
I guess I never will
I've been a long lost soul
For a long, long time
I've been around
Everybody ought to know what's on my mind
You think I'm lonesome, so do I
So do I
Well, I'm the kind of girl
Who likes to make a livin' runnin 'round
And I don't need a stranger
To let me know my baby's let me down
You think I'm lonesome, so do I
So do I
Luxury liner, forty tons of steel
No one in this whole wide world
Can change the way I feel
I've been a long lost soul
For a long long time
I've been around
Everybody ought to know what's on my mind
You think I'm lonesome, so do I

Top Emmylou Harris, Pancho & Lefty

Livin' on the road my friend
Was gonna keep you free and clean
Now you wear skin like iron
And your breath's as hard as kerosene
You weren't your mama's only boy
But her favorite one it seems
She began to cry when you said goodbye
And sank into your dreams
Pancho was a bandit, boys
His horse was fast as polished steel
Wore his gun outside his pants
For all the honest world to feel
Pancho met his match you know
On the deserts down in Mexico
And nobody heard his dyin' words
Ah but that's the way it goes
Lefty, he can't sing the blues
All night long like he used to
The dust that Pancho bit down south
Ended up in Lefty's mouth
The day they laid poor Pancho low
Lefty split for Ohio
Where he got the bread to go
There ain't nobody knows
All the Federals say
We let him slip away
Out of kindness I suppose
the poets tell how Pancho fell
And Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel
The dessert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
So the story end's, we're told
Pancho needs your prayer's it's true
But save a few for Lefty too
He just did what he had to do
And now he's growin' old
All the Federals say
We let him slip away
Out of kindness I suppose
A few grey Federals say
have had him any day
Only let him go so long

Top Emmylou Harris, Light Of The Stable-christmas

Top Emmylou Harris, Crescent City

Everybody's had a few, now they're talking about who knows who?
I'm going back to the Crescent City, where everything's still the same
This town has said what it has to say, now I'm after that back highway
And the longest bridge I've ever crossed over Pontchartrain
?Tous les temps sans temps?, that's what we say
We used to dance the night away
Me and my sister, me and my brother
We used to walk down by the river
Mama lives in Mandeville, I can hardly wait until
I can hear my zydeco and laissez les bon temps roulet
I take rides in open cars, my brother knows where the best bars are
Let's see how these blues'll do in the town where the good times stay
?Tous les temps sans temps?, that's what we say
We used to dance the night away
Me and my sister, me and my brother
We used to walk down by the river
?Tous les temps sans temps?, that's what we say
We used to dance the night away
Me and my sister, me and my brother

Top Emmylou Harris, We'll Sweep Out The Ashes

We know it's wrong to let this fire burn between us
We've got to stop this wild desire in you and in me
So, we'll let the flame burn once again until the thrill is gone
Then we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning
We're two people caught up in the flame that has to die out soon
I didn't mean to start this fire and neither did you
So, tonight when you hold me tight we'll let the fire burn on
And we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning
Each time when we meet we both agree that it's for the last time
But out of your arms, I'm out of my mind
So, we'll taste the thrill of stolen love tonight until the dawning
And we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning
We're two people caught up in the flame that has to die out soon
I didn't mean to start this fire and neither did you
So, tonight when you hold me tight we'll let the fire burn on
And we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning
Yes, we'll taste the thrill of stolen love tonight until the dawning
And we'll sweep out the ashes
We'll sweep out the ashes

Top Emmylou Harris, Christmas Time's A-coming

Holly's in the window
Home where the wind blows
The cane foam's a-runnin'
Christmas Time's A-Comin'
Can't you hear them bells ringin', ringin'
Joy, don'tcha hear them singin'
When it's snowin', I'll be goin'
Back to my country home
Christmas Time's A-Comin'
Christmas Time's A-Comin'
Christmas Time's A-Comin'
And I know I'm goin' home
White candle's burnin'
My old heart's a-yearnin'
For the folks at home when
Christmas Time's A-Comin'
Snow flake's a-fallin'
My old heart's a-callin'
Tall pine's a-hummin'

Top Emmylou Harris, Restless

Top Emmylou Harris, So Sad

We used to have good times together dear
But now, I feel them slip away
It makes me cry to see love die
So sad to watch good love go bad
Remember, how you used to feel dear
You said nothing could change your mind
It breaks my heart to see us part
So sad to watch good love go bad
Is it any wonder that I'm feeling so blue
When I know for certain that I'm losing you?
It breaks my heart to see us part
So sad to watch good love go bad

Top Emmylou Harris, Movin' On

(Hank Snow)
That big eighteen-wheeler, rollin' down the track
Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
'Cause I'm movin'on, I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high, for my little old sky
So I'm movin' on
That big loud whistle, as it blew and blew
Said hello to the southland, We're comin' to you
And we're movin' on, oh, hear my song
You had the laugh on me, so I set you free
And I'm movin' on
Mister fireman, won't you please listen to me
'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee
Keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll
And keep movin' me on
Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land
To keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
You gonna ease my mind, put me there on time
And keep rollin' on
I've told you baby, from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
Now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
You've broken your vow, and it's all over now
So I'm movin' on
You've switched your engine, now I ain't got time
For a triflin' woman on my main line
Cause I'm movin on, you done your daddy wrong
I warned you twice, now you can settle the price
'Cause I'm movin on
But someday baby, when you've had your play
You're gonna want your daddy, but your daddy will say
Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue

Top Emmylou Harris, Racing In The Street

(Bruce Springsteen)
I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396
Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor
She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot
Outside the Seven-Eleven store
Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch
And he rides with me from town to town
We only run for the money got no strings attached
We shut 'em up and then we shut 'em down
Tonight tonight the strip's just right
I'm gonna blow 'em off in my first heat
Summer's here and the time is right
For racin' in the street
We take all the action we can meet
And we cover all the northeast states
When the strip shuts down we run 'em in the street
>From the fire roads to the interstate
Now Some guys they just give up living
And start dying little by little piece by piece
Some guys come home from work and wash up
And go racin' in the street
Tonight tonight the strip's just right
I'm gonna blow 'em all out of their seats
Calling out around the world
We're going racin' in the street
He met her on the strip three years ago
In a Camaro with this dude from L.A.
He blew that Camaro off his back and he drove that little girl away
But now there's wrinkles around his baby's eyes
And she cries herself to sleep at night
When he comes home the house is dark
She says 'Baby did you make it alright?'
She sits on the porch of her daddy's house
But all her pretty dreams are torn
She stares out alone into the night
With the eyes of one who hates for just being born
For all the shut-down strangers and hot rod angels
Rumbling through this promised land
Tonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea
And wash these sins off our hands
Tonight tonight the highway's bright
Out of our way mister you best keep
Cause summer's here and the time is right

Top Emmylou Harris, I'll Be Your San Antone Rose

If they'll play another love song
If that Miller High life light stays dim
And if you'll keep my glass full of whiskey
I'll whisper words I wish I'd said to him
Just ask me to dance all the slow ones
Hold me close and take me 'cross the floor
I'll gently lay my head on your shoulder
And pretend this never happened before
I don't want to hear a sad story
We both already know how it goes
And if you'll be my tall dark stranger
I'll be your San Antone Rose
Well I wish I could tell you I love you
And I wish that he weren't always on my mind
If wishes were fast trains to Texas
Oh I'd ride and I'd ride, how I'd ride
I don't want to hear a sad story
We both already know how it goes
So if you'll be my tall dark stranger
I'll be your San Antone Rose

Top Emmylou Harris, Cross Yourself

I can see all the way
To Mercury from Mission Bay
I can feel your frequency
Just one more thing
Cross yourself, cross yourself
Come to me
And no matter how hard you try
You can no longer be
Standing there where so many die
Anticipating
Over the new clear watercolor
Over the rocks and glass
And everything that's meant to be
Come to me
Cross yourself
Come to me
And you say all your life
You've been waiting for this time
Open wide spread your wings
Just one more thing
Cross yourself cross yourself
Come to me
Don't listen to what they say
There's no day like today
Ain't no secret cloud in the way

Top Emmylou Harris, Clocks

Old brown clock ticking on my shelf
Take my mind to someplace else
Little gold clock ticking by my bed
Funny little people dancing 'round my head
Morning brings me things to do
Morning brings me thoughts of you
Gentle sunshine through the curtain lace
Some of which shining on your sweet face
Counting hours making days
Watching time throwing love away
Nothing golden never stays
That's what I heard the poets say Mmm ...
Time is always taking me
Places I don't want to be
But when the morning rise the moon
I know a bird day's coming soon
Counting hours making days
Watching time throwing love away
Nothing golden never stays
That's what I heard the poets say Mmm ...
Morning brings me things to do
Morning brings me thoughts of you
Gentle sunshine through the curtain lace

Top Emmylou Harris, Do I Ever Cross Your Mind

Oh sometimes I go walkin' through fields where we walked
Long ago in the sweet used to be
And the flowers still grow but they don't smell as sweet
As they did when you picked them for me
And when I think of you and the love we once knew
How I wish we could go back in time
Do you ever think back on old mem'ries like that or do I ever cross your mind
[ fiddle - mandolin ]
Do you ever wake up lonely in the middle of the night
Cause you miss me do you darling
Oh and do your mem'ries ever take you back into another place in time
And do you ever miss the feelings and the love we shared
When you were with me tell me darling or do I ever cross your mind
[ guitar ]
Oh how often I wish that again I could kiss your sweet lips like I did long ago
And how often I long for those two lovin' arms that once held me so gentle and close
And when I think of you and the love we once knew
How I wish we could go back in time
Do you ever recall these old mem'ries at all or do I ever cross your mind

Top Emmylou Harris, Dimming Of The Day

This old house is falling down around my ears
I'm drowning in a river of my tears
When all my will is gone you hold me sway
I need you at the dimming of the day
You pulled me like the moon
pulls on the tide
You know just where I keep my better side
What days have come to keep us far apart
A broken promise or a broken heart
Now all the bonny birds have wheeled away
I need you at the dimming of the day
Come the night you're only what I want
Come the night you could be my confidant
I see you the street and in company
Why don't you come and east your mind with me
I'm living for the night we steal away
I need you at the dimming of the day

Top Emmylou Harris, Every Grain of Sand

In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need
When the pool of tears beneath my feet, flood every newborn seed
There's a dyin' voice within me, reaching out somewhere
Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair
Don't have the inclination to look back on any mistake
Like cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break
In the fury of the moment I can see the master's hand
In every leaf that trembles and in every grain of sand
Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear
Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer
The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way
To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay
I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame
And every time I pass that way, I always hear my name
Then onward in my journey, I come to understand
That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand
I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night
In the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintry light
In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space
In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me
I am hanging in the balance of a perfect finished plan

Top Emmylou Harris, Drifting Too Far From The Shore

(Traditional)
Out on the perilous deep,
where danger silently creeps,
and storm's so violently sweeping,
You're drifting too far from shore.
chorus: Drifting too far from shore,
You're drifting too far from shore,
Come to Jesus today,
Let Him show you the way.
You're drifting too far from shore,
Today, the Tempest rose high,
and clouds o'ershadow the sky.
Sure death is hovering nigh,
You're drifting too far from shore.
Drifting too far from shore,
You're drifting too far from shore,
Come to Jesus today,
Let Him show you the way.
You're drifting too far from shore,
Why meet a terrible fate?
Mercies abundantly wait.
Turn back before it's too late
You're drifting too far from shore.
Drifting too far from shore
You're drifting too far from shore (peaceful shore)
Come to Jesus today. Let him show you the way

Top Emmylou Harris, Darlin' Kate

So it's finally come,
You left this world,
But we'll miss our Kate,
Our darling girl!
We held your head,
Kissed your little brow,
And it felt odd you're sailing off.
Free from the pain
You lead that burning love,
But you're strong and giving heart,
You're surely...
As you sleep, the.. sail away,
Perhaps we will meet again somehow, someday!
Until then, there's nothing we can do, but wait,
To see what's more, our darling Kate!
All those nights we sang
And talked 'till the sun come up,
You fed our souls, you filled our cup!
With your perfect words and all that voice,
We fell in love, we had no choice.
And I can see fur sure where you had gone,
But in that place I bet it's a better song!
For we've all known down here,
The taste of joy and ...
You were the sweetest... in the core of life.
Now you've slept... of a written sail,
Where perhaps we will meet again somehow, someday
But if there was one name I could consecrate
It would be yours!

Top Emmylou Harris, Cup Of Kindness

You gave yourself up to the mystery
And sailed the oceans looking for the secret of the key
To unlock a truth that you may never find
For it was in a cup of kindness all the time
You feel the thirst but none can make you drink
The answer's waiting for you here but it's not what you think
It won't steal your soul or leave you blind
It was just a cup of kindness all the time
And when Mother Mary finally comes to cal
She could pass right through your heart and leave no trace at all
While you were reaching for the sacred and divine
She was standing right beside you all the time
And the emptiness you can't seem to fill
Beauty fades and pleasures cannot take away the chili
And the glamor lures you down into a lie
O but the cup of kindness never will run dry
You hear the vandals howlin' down your walls
And arm yourself against the ones who want to see you fall
Till some Holy Grail reveals the grand design

Top Emmylou Harris, Didn't Leave Nobody, But The Baby

go to sleep little babe
go to sleep little babe
your momma's gone away and your daddy's gonna stay
didn't leave nobody but the baby
go to sleep little babe

everybody's gone in the cotton and the corn
didn't leave nobody but the baby
you're a sweet little babe

don't need no other lovin' babe
go to sleep little babe
go to sleep little babe

Top Emmylou Harris, Diamond In My Crown

As each long day rolls by and falls behind me
In the lonely night there's a peacefulness I've found
Though I'm weary even then when I rise to start again
There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
I have wasted all that life has laid before me
I have watched as all the green fields turn to brown
But I shall not disavow all these ties that bind me now
There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
Shinning down some day I know brighter than all their streets of gold
When the burdens that I carry I will lay down
And the sorrows I have known I'll see them all be overthrown
There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
Through the passing of the years I will grow stronger
Just as sure as this old world keeps spinning round
Then the closer I will be to my sweetest victory

Top Emmylou Harris, Home Sweet Home

I live out here in the wind and the pouring rain
Somewhere between 14th Avenue and Main
In the summer heat, winter's freezing snow
You see I got nowhere else to go
Got no home sweet home
Into this world, somewhere by the road
And it's a long hard road we walk
On our way to home sweet home
People pass by, they don't see me here
And if they do they wish I would disappear
I guess they know way down deep in their bones
It could be them out there looking for a home
For a home sweet home
Into this world, somewhere by the road
And it's a long hard road we walk
On our way to home sweet home
Ought to have a place to lay my head
A crumb or two for my daily bread
Perhaps someday a kind soul will come upon
Help me find my way back where I belong
Back to a home sweet home
Into this world, somewhere by the road
And it's a long hard road we walk
On our way to home sweet home
Sweet home
Oh that street, I can call it home
And it's a long hard road we walk

Top Emmylou Harris, Hot Burrito No. 2

Yes, you loved me and you sold my clothes
I love you, but that's the way that it goes
So it goes
Yes, you know how I feel
So it goes
It just couldn't be real
And we know it's wrong
And I don't think it's gonna go on
When I come home carrying my shoes
I've been waiting to tell you some news
And you want me home all night
And you don't want another fight
But you better love
Find some love
You better love me, Jesus Christ
Yes, you loved me and you sold all my clothes
I love you, baby, but that's the way that it goes
So it goes
I guess you know how I feel
So it goes
Yes, it couldn't be real
And you want me home all night
You just don't want another fight
But you better love
Find some love

Top Emmylou Harris, Hour Of Gold

I have seen your soul turn black and then retreat
To that dark place where no one else may follow
I waited here for your returning
To roll your cigarette and wash your bloodied feet
You have heard the silent running of my dreams
Broke me from the grip of grief and fever
With the sound of your voice speaking my name
And a kiss that I will feel forever
In the hour of gold, the hour of lead
We did forge our wedding bed
On a hard and holy road we lay down our head
In the hour of gold, the hour of lead
I have watched you riding on the wall of death
And when it finally breaks you and you fall
I will tear this dress of muslin that you gave me
To bind the fatal wound and catch your last sweet breath
In the hour of gold, the hour of lead
We did forge our wedding bed
On a hard and holy road we lay down our head
In the hour of gold, the hour of lead
But the world will be my witness when they excavate my heart
And find the image of your face
Imprinted there like some Shroud of Turin
That neither time nor tundra could erase
In the hour of gold, the hour of lead
We did forge our wedding bed
On a hard and holy road we lay down our head

Top Emmylou Harris, How She Could Sing The Wildwood Flower

How she could sing the Wildwood Flower
The orphan girl he would love so long
In the end he knew she'd been his finest hour
And all he has left of her is the song
He first saw her standing by her cabin door
Her song was ringing out in a voice so strong and sure
To the lonesome valley, he'd bring her there to be his bride
Where they would live and work together side by side
She was his sunshine, she was his moon and morning star
His words would ring true on the chords of her guitar
He was driven and lost to her for days and days
'Til the lonesome valley finally drove her heart away
How she could sing the Wildwood Flower
The orphan girl he would love so long
In the end he knew she'd been his finest hour
Now all he has left of her is the song
We all cling to as the years keep rolling on
One single promise of a love that's past and gone
And the lonesome valley, we all walk it by ourselves
Where the Wildwood Flower is the story we will tell
How she could sing the Wildwood Flower
The orphan girl he would love so long
In the end he knew she'd been his finest hour
Now all he has left of her is the song
How she could sing the Wildwood Flower

Top Emmylou Harris, I Don't Wanna Talk About It Now

God knows how I love you
Like a user needs a drug
And I'll never be free of ya
You are poison in my blood
I tried to swim that river
And get to higher ground
But I've been three times under
The next one'll see me drown
But I don't want to talk about it now
I don't want to talk about it now
I don't want to talk about it now
I wanna go down
God knows why you don't want me
No one would do the things I do
But to my grave, it's gonna haunt me
How I got down on my knees for you
You are my obsession
And the reason that I live
You already got my soul
There's nothing left to give
But I don't want to talk about it now
I don't want to talk about it now
I don't want to talk about it now
I wanna go down
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to talk about it
The Devil is deep water, baby
And I'm in way over my head
But I'd be drawn and quartered
If I could keep you in my bed
I can't break this spell
I know the trouble that I'm in
But if I got out of the mouth of Hell
I'd walk right back again
So I don't want to talk about it now
I don't want to talk about it now
I don't want to talk about it now
I wanna go down
I wanna go down

Top Emmylou Harris, I Feel The Blues Movin' In

Though the miles are between us I thought our love would strengthen
As it has so many times before
But something has happened I can see it in your eyes
I can feel my world is crumblin' and the blues are at my door
The last letter that you wrote was on a blue piece of paper
That old feelin's back the clouds are moving in
The beginning of the end is near I feel your love has faded
Into darkness it seems I have no friend I feel the blues movin' in
[ guitar ]
Oh it's not the words you wrote that made me sad and broken hearted
That's put me in this sad shape I'm in
Tween the lines are mixed emotions and there's teardrops on the paper
You said that's all I'll write today I'll cose for now old friend
The last letter that you wrote...
[ fiddle ]
My state of mind is desperate and this hole that I'm sinking in
Gets deeper while I'm digging to get out
Oh please give the right answer to the questions I'm asking
Tell me you still love me that would turn my world about
The last letter that you wrote...
I feel the blues movin' in I feel the blues movin' in

Top Emmylou Harris, I Saw The Light

(Hank Williams)
I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin
I wouldn't let my dear savior in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord, I saw the light.
Just like a blind man I wandered a long,
Worries and fears I claimed for my own.
Then like the blind man that God gave back my sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
I was a fool to wander and stray,
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
I saw the light, I saw the light
No more in darkness no more in night
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight

Top Emmylou Harris, I Take The Chance

I take the chance to lose my soul, my life, my pride
I take the chance to be with you
I've tried to live my life the best I can
I've prayed I'd never cheat to heed my heart's command
But dear you know to one I've been untrue
I wonder if you think I'd do the same by you
I take the chance of causing you to doubt my love
I take the chance to be with you
I know it's wrong for us to steal a kiss
And when you hold me in your arms I can't resist
I have a home and someone kind and true
I know I'd lose it all if I was seen with you
I take the chance to lose my soul, my life, my pride

Top Emmylou Harris, Hobo's Meditation

Tonight as I lay on a boxcar just waiting for a train to pass by
What will become of the hobo whenever his time comes to die
Has the Master up yonder in heaven got a place that we might call our home
Will we have to work for a livin' or can we continue to roam
Will there be any freight trains in heaven any boxcars in which we might hide
Will there be any tough cops or brakemen will they tell us that we cannot ride
Will the hobo chum with the rich man will we always have money to spare
Will they have respect for a hobo in that land that lies hidden up there
[ bnanjo - dobro ]

Top Emmylou Harris, Hold On

What happened to a mother's love?
What happened to your daddy's pride?
Know you always had enough
Know they were right by your side
Happened to that ball of fire
Got out on that open road
Now nothin' but your own desire
Lighten up this heavy load
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Know you didn't plan for this
But that's the way it always starts
Just lookin' for a little kick
Instead you bought a broken heart
Now you have to build a bridge
Only you can walk across
Wear the truth until it fits
Pay the price and bear the loss
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Once you were a little kid
Working on a great big plan
You threw away the simple joys
Now you have to take a stand
A battle's raging in your head
You wish you didn't have to fight
Just hold onto my hand instead
Another day goes by tonight
What happened to your mother's love?
What happened to your daddy's pride?
Way down deep inside your blood
Help you through this lonely ride
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on

Top Emmylou Harris, Across the Border

(Bruce Springsteen)
Tonight my bag is packed
Tommorrow I'll walk these tracks
That will lead me across the border
Tommorrow my love and I
Will sleep 'neath auburn skies
Somewhere across the border
We'll leave behind my dear
The pain and sadness we found here
And we'll drink from the Brazos muddy waters
Where the sky grows gray and wide
We'll meet on the other side
There across the border
For me you'll build a house
High up on a grassy hill
Somewhere across the border
Where pain and memory
Pain and memory have been stilled
There across the border
And sweet blossoms fill the air
Pastures of gold and green
Roll down into cool clear waters
And in your arms 'neath the open skies
I'll kiss the sorrow from your eyes
There across the border
Tonight we'll sing the songs
I'll dream of you my Corazon
And tommorrow my heart will be strong
And may the saints blessing and grace
Carry me safely into your arms
There across the border
For what are we
Without hope in our hearts
That someday we'll drink from God's blessed waters
And eat the fruit from the vine
I know love and fortune will be mine

Top Emmylou Harris, 1917

The strange young man who comes to me
A soldier on a three day spree
Who needs one night's cheap ecstasy
And a woman's arms to hide him
He greets me with a courtly bow
And hides his pain by acting proud
He drinks too much and he laughs too loud
How can I deny him?
Let us dance beneath the moon
I'll sing to you, "Claire de Lune'
The morning always comes too soon
But tonight the war is over
He speaks to me in schoolboy French
Of a soldier's life inside a trench
Of the look of death and the ghastly stench
I do my best to please him
He puts two roses in a vase
Two roses sadly out of place
Like the gallant smile on his haggard face
Playfully I tease him
Hold me neath the Paris skies
Let's not talk of how or why
Tomorrow's soon enough to die
But tonight the war is over
We make love too hard too fast
He falls asleep his face a mask
He wakes with the shakes and he drinks from his flask
I put my arms around him
They die in the trenches and they die in the air
In Belguim and France the dead are everywhere
They die so so fast there's no time to prepare
A decent grave to surround them
Old world glory old world fame
The old worlds gone gone up in flames
Nothing will ever be the same
And nothing lasts forever
Oh I'd pray for him but I've forgotten how
And there's nothing, nothing that can save him now
But there's always another with the same funny bow
And who am I to deny them
Lux aeterna, Luce-at e-is
Domine cum sanctic tu-is in aeternum
Qui-a pius es
Requiem aeternaum dona e-is Domine
Qui-a pius es
Tonight the war is over
Requiem aeternaum dona e-is Domine
Qui-a pius es
Et lux perpetua luce-at- e-is Cum sancris tu-is in
Aeternum qui-api-us es

Top Emmylou Harris, (lost His Love) On Our Last Date (live)

Top Emmylou Harris, Angel Eyes

(Rodney Crowell)
Angel eyes, angel eyes
The ways of the world are feeble
Don't give up on simple people
Angel eyes.......
The blues you can live wthoutIt's not what you song's about
Angel eyes, angel eyes
Tell me what would we do without
No light from angel eyes
You can move the hearts of men
Just with a phrase you're turning
Since hearts ever have been yearning.........
and so alone
Thin lines you've been living on

Top Emmylou Harris, Angel Band

My latest sun is sinking fast, my race is nearly run
My strongest trials now are past, my triumph has begun
Oh, come angel band come and around me stand
Oh bear me away on your snow white wings to my immortal home
Oh bear me away on your snow white wings to my immortal home
Oh bear my longing heart to him who bled and died for me
Whose blood now cleanses from all sin and gives me victory
Oh, come angel band come and around me stand
Oh bear me away on your snow white wings to my immortal home

Top Emmylou Harris, All I Left Behind

All I left behind should come as no surprise
To me since I fell through the black hole of your eyes
Only little things inconsequential I could say
Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway
Silver earrings in Wichita
Beaded moccasins in Tonopah
But I had you so, I just let them go
The flannel shirt I wore to keep me from the cold
When we drove from Boston all the way to Buffalo
The leather boots I bought, so many miles ago
I took them off to follow you into the Ohio
Never did my armor feel so thin
Silk was all I had between me and your skin
Like waterloo, I lost that too
And the gold bracelet with my fathers name inscribed
On the back by the one who loved him all her life
The way I too could have loved you
The Spanish shawl, I put across the broken shade
Of the lamp that lit the room that last night near Coeur d'Alene
Only little things inconsequential I could say
Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway

Top Emmylou Harris, After The Gold Rush

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming
Saying something about a queen
There were peasants singing and drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree
There was a fanfare blowing to the sun
That was floating on the breeze
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the twentieth century
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the twentieth century
I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst through the sky
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like I could cry
I was thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie
Thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie
I dreamed I saw the silver space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun
There were children crying and colors flying
All around the chosen ones
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun
Flying Mother Nature silver seed
To a new home in the sun
Flying Mother Nature silver seed

Top Emmylou Harris, Sweet Old World

See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
The breath from your own lips, the touch of fingertips
A sweet and tender kiss
The sound of a midnight train, wearing someone's ring
Someone calling your name
Somebody so warm cradled in your arm
Didn't you think you were worth anything?
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
What you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
Millions of us in love, promises made good
Your own flesh and blood
Looking for some truth, dancing with no shoes
The beat, the rhythm, the blues
The pounding of your heart's drum together with another one
Didn't you think anyone loved you?
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world

Top Emmylou Harris, Orphan Girl

I am an orphan on God's highway
But I'll share my troubles if you go my way
I have no mother, no father
No sister, no brother
I am an orphan girl
I have had friendships pure and golden
The ties of kinship have not known them
I know no mother, no father
No sister, no brother
I am an orphan girl
But when He calls me I will be able
To meet my family at God's table
I'll meet my mother, my father
My sister, my brother
No more an orphan girl
Blessed Savior make me willing
Walk beside me until I'm with them
Be my mother, my father
My sister, my brother
I am an orphan girl

Top Emmylou Harris, May This Be Love

(Jimi Hendrix)
Waterfall
Nothing can go wrong
Nothing can go wrong
My sweet waterfall
When I go
When I go down deep
I want you here with me
My sweet waterfall
I can see
A rainbow calling me
Through your mystery
My sweet waterfall
Waterfall
For a million day
Fall with me for a million days
My sweet waterfall
Waterfall
Nothing can go wrong
Nothing can go wrong
My sweet waterfall
Nothing can go wrong

Top Emmylou Harris, Goodbye

I remember holdin' on to you
All them long and lonely nights I put you through
Somewhere in there I'm sure I made you cry
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico
One place I may never go in my life again
Was I just off somewhere or just too high
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
I only miss you every now and then
Like the soft breeze blowin up from the Caribbean
Most Novembers I break down and cry
'Cause I can't remember if we said goodbye
But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico
One place I will never go in my life again
Was I just off somewhere or maybe just too high
But I can't remember if we said goodbye

Top Emmylou Harris, Goin' Back To Harlan

(Anna McCarrigle)
There where no cuckoos, no sycamores
We played about the forest floor
Underneath the silver maples, the balsams and the sky
We popped the heads off dandelions
Assuming roles from nursery rhymes
Rested on the riverbank
And grew up by and by, and grew up by and by
Frail my heart apart
And play me a little shady grove
Ring the bells of rhymney
Till they ring inside my head forever
Bounce the bow, rock the gallows
For the hangman's reel
And wake the devil from his dream
I'm going back to Harlan
I'm going back to Harlan
I'm going back to Harlan
And if you were Willie Moore
And I was Barbara Allen
Or Fair Ellen all sad at the cabin door
A-weepin' and a-pinin', for love

Top Emmylou Harris, Every Grain Of Salad

(Bob Dylan)
In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need
When the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed
There's a dyin' voice within me reaching out somewhere,
Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair.
Don't have the inclination to look back on any mistake,
Like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break.
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand
In every leaf that trembles and, in every grain of sand.
Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear,
Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer.
The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way
To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay.
I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame
And every time I pass that way I always hear my name.
Then onward in my journey I come to understand
That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand.
I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night
In the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintry light,
In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space,
In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face.
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
I am hanging in the balance of a perfect finished plan
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand

Top Emmylou Harris, Deeper Well

The sun burned hot, it burned my eyes
Burned so hot I thought I'd died
Thought I'd died and gone to hell
Lookin' for the water from a deeper well
I went to the river but the river was dry
I fell to my knees an I looked to the sky
Looked to the sky and the spring rain fell
I saw the water from a deeper well
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
I was ready for love, I was ready for the money
Ready for the blood and ready for the honey
Ready for the winnin', ready for the bell
Lookin' for the water from a deeper well
I found some love and I found some money
Found that blood would drip from the honey
Found I had a thirst that I could not quell
Lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well, I did it for kicks and I did it for hate
I did it for lust and I did it for faith
I did it for need and I did it for love
Addiction stayed on tight like a glove
So I ran with the moon and I ran with the night
And the three of us were a terrible sight
Nipple to the bottle, to the gun, to the cell
To the bottom of a hole of a deeper well
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
I rocked with the cradle and I rolled with the rage
I shook those walls and I rattled that gage
Took my trouble down a dead end trail
Reachin' out a hand for a holier grail
Hey there, mama, did you carry that load
Did you tell your baby 'bout the bend in the road
'Bout the rebel yell, 'bout the one that fell
Lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Top Emmylou Harris, Blackhawk

(Daniel Lanois)
Well I work the double shift
In a bookstore on St. Clair
While he pushed the burning ingots
In Dofasco stinking air
Where the truth bites and stings
I remember just what we were
As the noon bell rings for
Blackhawk and the white winged dove
Hold on to your aching heart
I'll wipe the liquor from your lips
A small town hero never dies
He fades a bit and then he slips
Down into the blast furnace
In the heat of the open hearth
And at the punch clock he remembers
Blackhawk and the white winged dove
I remember your leather boots
Pointing up into the sky
We fell down to our knees
Over there where the grass grew high
Love hunters in the night
Our faces turned into the wind
Blackhawk where are you know
Blackhawk and the white winged dove
We were Blackhawk where are you know
We were Blackhawk where are you know
Do you still have the ring I gave you
On the banks of Lake Bear
Where I felt certain that I knew you
My cool and distant debonair
Now we drink at Liberty Station
Another cup of muscatel
Wrapped in the strong arms of the Union

Top Emmylou Harris, All My Tears

When I go don't cry for me
In my Father's arms I'll be
The wounds this world left on my soul
Will all be healed and I'll be whole
Sun and moon will be replaced
With the light of Jesus' face
And I will not be ashamed
For my Savior knows my name
It don't matter where you bury me
I'll be home and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away
Gold and silver blind the eye
Temporary riches lie
Come and eat from Heaven's store
Come and drink and thirst no more
So weep not for me, my friend
When my time below does end
For my life belongs to Him
Who will raise the dead again
It don't matter where you bury me
I'll be home and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away
No matter
No matter
No matter

Top Emmylou Harris, White Shoes

I want 'em, I need 'em
And I'm gonna go out and get 'em
White shoes
I know I'll feel better
When I slide down into the leather
White shoes
White shoes
Woah, white shoes
White shoes
Woah, white shoes
I woke up from a dream
When I saw 'em in a magazine
White shoes
I said, "Lou you gotta start new
And the first thing you gotta do
Is get some white shoes"
White shoes
Woah, white shoes
White shoes
Woah, white shoes
You know he left me with the lonesome blues
Been hangin' 'round too long with nothin' to do
Yeah, he really made me pay those dues
But I'm goin' out on the town tonight in white shoes
Yeah, I wanted 'em, I needed 'em
And I went out and got 'em
White shoes
That new boy when I see him
I'm gonna walk right up and meet him in
White shoes
White shoes
Woah, white shoes
White shoes
I'm goin' out on the town tonight
White shoes
Woah, white shoes
White shoes

Top Emmylou Harris, A Ways To Go

(Lainie Marsh)
I hear the clock a tickin'
See the sweat upon my brow
I know my destination
Nothing's gonna stop me now
I'm running on desire
Baby I've got nerves of steel
Coming down to the wire
Lord above me guide the wheel
Keep me in your prayers tonight
I'll be weary upon that road
I know the finish line's in sight
But I still have a ways to go
There's a junkyard dog a barkin'
In the valley down below
He's wanting me to stop and
Gather up a heavy load
Ain't gonna heed his call
Ain't givin' him the time of day
You mangy mutt once and for all
I said I threw that stuff away
I won't have a bit of trouble
Heading down the straight and true
I'll fly solo on the double
Into the yonder blue
I might need some intervention
Out upon the icy turn
In a foggy situation
Squealin' on a hairpin curve
I'm running on desire
Baby I've got nerves of steel
Coming down to the wire
Lord above me guide the wheel
Keep me in your prayers tonight
I'll be weary upon that road
I know the finish line's in sight
But I still have a ways to go
Keep me in your prayers tonight
I'll be weary upon that road
I know the finish line's in sight
But I still have a ways to go

Top Emmylou Harris, Ballard Of A Runaway Horse

(Leonard Cohen)
Say a prayer for the cowgirl her horse ran away
She'll walk 'til 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 blind 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
An the world is sweet and world is wide
And 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 nor really tame
He longs to be lost she longs for the same
And he'll bolt and he'll plunge thru 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 noting below
It's time for their burden the whip and the spur
Will 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 learns on his neck and whispers low
Whither thou goest I will go
And they turn as one the head for the plain
No need for the whip oh no need for the rain
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 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

Top Emmylou Harris, Lost On The River

Lost On The River, Dark Is The Night
Just Like The Blind, Praying For Site
Drifting Alone, Heart Filled With Fright
I'm lost On The River The River Of Life
Once Dear I Thought I Knew The Way
That Was Before Old Sad Yesterday
Words That You Said Cut Like A Knife
I'm Lost On The River The River Of Life
Out On This River Where Sorrow's Free
Thinking Of You How My Heart Pleads
Tomorrow You'll Be Another Man's Wife

Top Emmylou Harris, Lost Unto This World

Hmm ohh ohh
Hmm hmm hmm ohh
I was once some mother's darlin'
Some daddy's little girl
More a precious than the ruby
More cherished than the pearl
My heart was full of mercy
And my forehead full of curl
Now I am nothing and I'm lost unto this world
I am lost unto this world
I am lost unto this world
I am lost unto this world
I am lost unto this world
They herded me like cattle
Cut me down like corn
Took me from my babies
Before they could be born
You can blame it on the famine
You can blame it on the war
You can blame it on the Devil
It don't matter anymore
I am lost unto this world
I am lost unto this world
I am lost unto this world
I am lost unto this world
I was tortured in the desert
I was raped out on the plane
I was murdered by the highway
And my cries went up in vain
My blood is on the mountain
My blood is on the sand
My blood runs in the rivers
That now washes through their hands
I am lost unto this world
I am lost unto this world
I am lost unto this world
I am lost unto this world
Oh can I get no witness
This unholy tale to tell?
Was God the only one there watching
And weeping as I fell?
Umm hmm umm hmm
Umm hmm umm hmm
Umm hmm umm hmm
Umm hmm umm hmm
Ohh you among the living
Will you remember me at all?
Will you write my name out
With a single finger scrawl?
Across a broken window
In some long forgotten wall
That goes stretching out forever
Where the tears of Heaven fall
I am lost unto this world
I am lost unto this world
I am lost unto this world
I am lost unto this world
I am lost unto this world
I am lost unto this world
I am lost unto this world

Top Emmylou Harris, Lonely Girl

Lonely Girl
It seems to me lately
The days are growing shorter
The years are going faster
And time is flying by I wake up in the morning
And before I even notice
The sun is going down
And I'm left to wonder why
I'm a lonely girl in a lonely world
I never thought my life would be like this
To have no one to hold my hand
And feel once more a sweet caress
I'd give it my best effort
Love is always worth it
But even if I try
I might still end up alone
It may not be in me
To take what love could give me
Some of us are better off
To make it on our own
As a lonely girl in a lonely world
And though my life has been so blessed
I have no one to hold my hand
And feel once more a sweet caress
I've had my share of lovers
And cared for many others
I always thought there'd be
Another one to come along
But if love can't find me again
I'll put it all behind me then
I'll just go and learn to sing
Another sad love song
About a lonely girl in a lonely world
She never dreamed her life would be like this
To have no one to hold her hand
And feel once more a sweet caress

Top Emmylou Harris, Take That Ride

Don't you believe I love you long enough?
Didn't I try to give you all the right stuff?
Hung around when the going got tough
Don't you believe I loved you long enough?
Where were you when the world turned black?
All those nights you never answered back
And I just asked you to cut a little slack
Where were you when the world turned black?
One of these days I'm gonna take that ride
Though there may be nothing on the other side
I'm too old for changing, my true blues have all been tried
One of these days I'm gonna take that ride
You always were the one
Gave me my place out in the sun
Every race that's lost or won
It was thy will be done
Don't you believe it's time to let me go?
The clock is winding down and I'm moving slow
I could keep on dancing but it's just for show
Don't you believe it's time to let me go?
One of these days I'm gonna take that ride
What ever's waiting on the other side
Had a little glory and I still got my pride
One of these days I'm gonna take that ride
One of these days I'm gonna take that ride
Oh, don't you believe it's time to take that ride?
Take that ride
Take that ride

Top Emmylou Harris, Long Tall Sally Rose

Well, tonight I'm gonna wear my dancin' shoes
'Cause I heard the word and I heard the news
There's a gal in town she's packin' 'em in
If you've seen her once you'll see her again
She's got a red hot dynamite band
They're burnin' down another one night stand
Headlinin' double shows everybody go see Sally Rose
She sure knows how to rock the crowd
Rocks 'em slow rocks 'em loud
So you better move fast 'cause tickets are tight
If you wanna see Sally Rose pick it tonight
She's got a red hot dynamite band
They're burnin' down another one night stand

Top Emmylou Harris, Telling Me Lies

They say a woman's a fool for weeping a fool to break her own heart
But I can't hold the secret I'm keeping I'm breaking apart
Can't seem to mind my own business whatever I try turns out wrong
I seem like my own false witness and I can't go on
I cover my ears I close my eyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies telling me lies
You told me you needed my company and I believed in your flattering ways
You told me you needed me forever nearly gave you the rest of my days
Should've seen you for what you are should never have come back for more
Should've locked up all my silver brought the key right to your door
I cover my ears...
[ strings ]
You don't know what a chance is until you have to seize one
You don't know what a man is until you have to please one
Don't put your life in the hands of a man with a face for every season
Don't waste your time in the arms of a man who's no stranger to treason
I cover my ears...
I cover my ears...

Top Emmylou Harris, Easy For You To Say

These things happen
Love never comes with a guarantee
No hard feelings
But it looks like this love was never meant to be
That's easy for you to say
You've got another who's willing and waiting for you
That's easy for you to say
You're not the one with the heart that's breaking in two
You tell me it's better this way
That's easy for you to say
There'll be changes
Time's never been known to ever stand still
Lonely losers
Hold to a promise they'll never fulfill
That's easy for you to say
You've got another who's willing and waiting for you
That's easy for you to say
You're not the one with the heart that's breaking in two
You tell me it's better this way
That's easy for you to say
You tell me you know that it's wrong
To walk out this way
But in time my true love will come
And I'll thank you some day
That's easy for you to say
You've got another who's willing and waiting for you
That's easy for you to say
You're not the one with the heart that's breaking in two
You tell me it's better this way
That's easy for you to say

Top Emmylou Harris, Brand New Dance

Darlin', you're tired
I can see in your eyes
I know how you feel
We've been together
Too long to conceal
What's in our hearts?
Maybe we should part
But after so many years
That would only bring loneliness
Sorrow and tears and anyway
I never would, never could
Never will ever kill what's between us
So let's try again
We'll start a brand new dance
Between old friends
There will always be days
When it don't seem to pay
When it just doesn't rhyme
Well, that's bound to happen
Some of the time
Our best days aren't gone
We don't need to move on
Well, maybe we should try
But I don't think you could take it
And neither could I and anyway
I never would, never could
Never will ever kill what's between us
So let's try again
We'll start a brand new dance
Between old friends
Darlin', come here
Love's not disappeared
You're just feelin' low
Well, let me tell you, my darlin'
That's a feelin' I know
It don't mean too much
We just got out of touch
Well, it's easy to change
'Cause lovin' you's
Not too hard to arrange and anyway
I never would, never could
Never will ever kill what's between us
So let's try again
We'll start a brand new dance
Between old friends
We'll start a brand new dance
Between old friends
Yes, we'll start a brand new dance

Top Emmylou Harris, I Will Dream

In my imagination
You are my dear companion
And I'm the one you cling to
And your voice still calls my voice
Before your heart began to wander
And mine was torn asunder
Before the fairer and the younger
Before the cryin' game
All those girls with their long dark dresses
Waltzing out in their Sunday dresses
All their sweet soft warm caresses
Cannot hold you like I do
And though you say, you do not love me
And your dreams are never of me
I will dream my dream of you
In my dreams you are the swallow
Coming back to Capistrano
And I'm the sound of the bells you follow
But in this world, dreams don't come true
Still when you're lost out in the desert
When your fire's a dying ember
The last light you remember
Will be the light I shed for you
Mine is no ordinary star love
I see exactly where you are love
And no else could shine that far love
To bring you safely through
And though you say, you do not want me
And made no promises to haunt me
I will dream, my dream of you
The sorrows flow down like a fountain
Over the miles beyond our countin'
More than the flowers of the mountain
Or the raindrops in the sea
But if Heaven's just a dreaming
Surely my love will be redeeming

Top Emmylou Harris, I Think I Love Him

I think I love him think I knew the first time
He called my name and said 'You are my sunshine'
I think I love him think I knew the hour

Top Emmylou Harris, Rollin' And Ramblin'

Folks in Nashville slammed the door
Said we don't want you anymore
Find your own way down the road
Pack your fiddle and your guitar
Take a train or take a car
Find someone else to keep you from the cold
Rollin' and ramblin'
Women loved him half to death
He sang with whiskey on his breath
His heart broke like a child's
Rollin' and ramblin'
The sun has set out on the trail
The hobo's drifted up the rail
He's taken his last ride
Oh, he always sang the blues
Like it was all he ever knew
He didn't sing at all that night
He was pale and as he dozed
He didn't know his time had closed
Slumped in the back seat to the right
Rollin' and ramblin'
Women loved him half to death
He sang with whiskey on his breath
His heart broke like a child's
Rollin' and ramblin'
The sun has set out on the trail
The hobo's drifted up the rail
He's taken his last ride
So they send him on night train south
Through the cities and the rural routes
Just one more place to go
Ah, the whistle sang the bluest note
Like it came from his own throat
Moanin' sad and cryin' low
Rollin' and ramblin'
Women loved him half to death
He sang with whiskey on his breath
His heart broke like a child's
Rollin' and ramblin'
The sun has set out on the trail
The hobo's drifted up the rail
He's taken his last ride
Rollin' and ramblin'
The sun has set out on the trail
The hobo's drifted up the rail

Top Emmylou Harris, Red Red Rose

(David Mallett)
You may wonder if you know me
You may wonder if I care
Or if I'll leave you sad and lonely
Or if I'll always be right there
Well there's no need for doubt now darlin'
'Cause I have come to know
This love of ours is no common flower
You know this love is like a red, red rose
And you may wonder about this dreamer
If she's all you thought she'd be
And, oh, if anything but someday
Ever comes from lovin' me
But hold me close and tell me darlin'
That you have come to know
This love I bring you is no common thing
You know this love is like a red, red rose
When you're all caught up in sweet surrender
Simple truth is sometimes hard to see
Here between the tough times and the tender
It all comes down to you and me
And you may see my heart of darkness
I may stumble now and again
But underneath this heart of darkness
There's a heart that's lovin' you right till the end
So hold me close, come hold me darlin'
'Cause I want you to know
This love of ours is no common flower
You know this love is like a red, red rose
This love of ours is no common flower

Top Emmylou Harris, Never Be Anyone Else But You

There'll never be anyone else
But you for me
Never ever be, just couldn't be
Anyone else but you
If I could take my pick of all
The boys I've ever known
Then I'd come and pick you out
To be my very own
There'll never be anyone else
But you for me
Never ever be, just couldn't be
Anyone else but you
A heart that's true and longs for you
Is all I have to give
All my love belongs to you
As long as I may live
There'll never be anyone else
But you for me
Never ever be, just couldn't be
Anyone else but you
Never will forget the way you kissed me
And when we're not together
I wonder if you miss me
For I hope and pray the day will come
When you'll belong to me
Then I'm gonna prove to you
How true my love can be
There'll never be anyone else
But you for me
Never ever be, just couldn't be
Anyone else but you
Never ever be, just couldn't be

Top Emmylou Harris, If I Be Lifted Up

(Traditional)
Down in the valley while on my knees
I asked my Jesus carry please
He promised that he'd take care of me
If I would lift him up
He said if I
Be lifted up
He said if I
Be lifted up
I 'll be your father
I'll be your mother
I'll be your sister
And your brother
He said if I
Be lifted up
I'll bring joy, joy, joy
To your soul
When I am lonely
When I am sad
My Jesus comes and makes me glad
He is the dearest friend I've have had
I want to lift Him up
He said if I
Be lifted up
He said if I
Be lifted up
I 'll be your father
I'll be your mother
I'll be your sister
And your brother
He said if I
Be lifted up
I'll bring joy, joy, joy

Top Emmylou Harris, Another Lonesome Morning

(Clinton Codack/Wendy Special)
Another lonesome morning
Another long lonesome day
You'll have to live without him
The morning seemed to say
Another lonesome morning
You thought you didn't care
But morning breezes find you
Wishing he were there
Bobwhite sings his same old song
Trying hard to please
And you hear the sound
That he used to love
Thru the rustlin' of the leaves
Thru the rustlin' of the leaves
You losing him has taught you
That you wanted him to stay
And you know that all another lonesome morning brings
Is another lonesome day
All another lonesome morning brings
Is another lonesome day

Top Emmylou Harris, Wheels Of Love

The wheels of love turn around and around
Keep on rollin' 'til you've found
The perfect partner, somebody just right
To have and hold every day and every night
So, she's halfway to Texas with all of your dreams
The world ain't as bad as what it might seem
You got a whole lot of living, honey, left to do
There's still a whole lot of love inside of you
The wheels of love turn around and around
They'll take you for a ride like a merry-go-round
Don't let the heartache hold you down
When there's plenty of love left to be found
On the wheels, ridin' on the wheels of love
Catch you a ride, imagine what you might find
Just the right girl at just the right time
Ready and waiting, she'll look you in the eyes
Ah, but the wheels of love will never compromise
So, she broke your heart, honey, don't look back
You got to keep on rollin' down the track
And maybe the next time you'll keep your feet on the ground
When the wheels of love spin you around
The wheels of love turn around and around
They'll take you for a ride like a merry-go-round
Don't let the heartache hold you down
When there's plenty of love left to be found
On the wheels, ridin' on the wheels of love
The wheels of love turn around and around
They'll take you for a ride like a merry-go-round
Don't let the heartache hold you down
When there's plenty of love left to be found
On the wheels, ridin' on the wheels of love

Top Emmylou Harris, Tougher Than the Rest

(Bruce Springsteen)
Well it's saturday night
You're all dressed up and blue
I've been watchin' you go out
Maybe you been watchin' me too
So somebody ran out
Left somebody's heart in a mess
Well if you're lookin' for love
Honey I'm tougher than the rest
Some girls they want a handsome Dan
Or some good-lookin' Joe
On their arms some girls want
A sweet talkin' Romeo
We'll 'round here baby
I've learned you get what you can get
So if you're rough enough for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest
Yeah, the road is dark
And it's a thin, thin line
But I want you to know
I'll walk it for you anytime
Maybe your other girlfriends
Couldn't pass the test
Well if you're rough and ready for love
Honey I'm tougher than the rest
Well it ain't no secret
I've been around a time or two
Well, I don't know, baby
Maybe you've been around too
But there's another dance, baby
All you got to do is say yes
And if you're rough and ready for love

Top Emmylou Harris, Jerusalem Tomorrow

Man, you should have seen me way back then
I could tell a tale, I could make it spin
I could tell you black was white
I could tell you day was night
Not only that I could tell you why
Back then I could really tell a lie
Well, I'd hire a kid to say he was lame
Then I'd touch him and I make him walk again
Then I'd pull some magic trick
I'd pretend to heal the sick
I was takin' everything they had to give
It wasn't all that bad a way to live
Well, I'm in this desert town and it's hot as hell
But no one's buyin' what I got to sell
I make my lame kid walk
I make a dumb guy talk
I'm preachin' up a storm, both night and day
But everyone just turns and walks away
Well, I can see that I'm only wasting time
So I head across the road to drink some wine
This old man comes up to me
He says, "I seen you on the street
You're pretty good, if I do say so myself"
But the guy comes through here last month, he was somethin' else
Instead of callin' out for fire from above
He just gets real quiet and talks about love
And I'll tell you somethin' funny
He didn't want nobody's money
Now I'm not exactly sure what this all means
But it's the damnest thing I swear I've ever seen
Well, since that time every town is the same
I can't make a dime, I don't know why I came
I decide I'll go and find him
And find out who's behind him
He has everyone convinced that he's for real
Well, I figure we can work us out a deal
So he offers me a job and I say, "Fine"
He says I'll get paid off on, down the line
Well, I guess I'll string along
Don't see how too much can go wrong
As long as he pays my way, I guess I'll follow

Top Emmylou Harris, My Baby Needs A Shepherd

My baby needs a shepherd, she's lost out on the hill
Too late, I tried to call her when the night was cold and still
And I tell myself I'll find her but I know I never will
My baby needs a shepherd, she's lost out on the hill
My baby needs an angel, she never learned to fly
She'll not reach sanctuary just by looking to the sky
I guess I could have carried her but I didn't even try
My baby needs an angel, she never learned to fly
Oh, I ran so far through a broken land
I was following that drummer, beating in a different band
Somewhere on the highway, I let go of her hand
Now she's gone forever like her footprints in the sand
Toora loora loora lo, first the seed and then the rose
Toora loora loora li, my kingdom for a lullaby
My baby needs a pilot, she has no magic wand
To help her part the troubled waters of the Rubicon
But in my soul, I know she'll have to go this one alone
After all that is the only way she's ever known
But there is no lamp in all this dark
That could chase away her shadow from the corners of my heart
I pray she rides a dolphin but she's swimmin' with the shark
Out where none can save her, not even Noah and his ark
Toora loora loora lo, to the cradle comes the crow
Toora loora loora li, my kingdom for a lullaby
My baby needs a mother to love her till the end
Up every rugged mountain and down every road that bends
Sometimes, I hear her cryin' but I guess it's just the wind

Top Emmylou Harris, My Dear Companion

Oh have you seen my dear companion for he was all this world to me
I hear he's gone to some far country and that he cares no more for me
I wish I were a swallow flying I'd fly to a high and lonesome place
I'd join the wild birds in their crying thinking of you and your sweet face
[ mandolin - ac.guitar ]
Oh have you seen my dear companion for he was all this world to me
But now the stars have turned against me and he cares no more for me
Oh when the dark is on the mountain and all the world has gone to sleep
I will go down to cold dark waters and there I'll lay me down and weep
Oh have you seen my dear companion oh have you seen my dear companion
Oh have you seen my dear companion oh have you seen my dear companion

Top Emmylou Harris, Nobody's Darlin' But Mine

Come lay by my side, little darlin'
Come lay your cool hand on my brow
Promise me that you will always
Be nobody's darlin' but mine
Be nobody's darlin' but mine, love
Be honest, be faithful, be kind
And promise me that you will always
Be nobody's darlin' but mine
You're as sweet as the flowers of springtime
You're as pure as the dew from the rose
I'd rather be somebody's, darlin'
And a poor boy nobody knows
Be nobody's darlin' but mine, love
Be honest, be faithful, be kind
And promise me that you will always
Be nobody's darlin' but mine
Goodbye, little darlin', I'm leaving
I'm leaving this cold world behind
So promise me that you will never
Be nobody's darlin' but mine
Be nobody's darlin' but mine, love
Be honest, be faithful, be kind
And promise me that you will always

Top Emmylou Harris, Not Enough

Oh my darling I miss you so
How I loved you you'll never know
Though it's time for me to let you go
Oh my darling I'll miss you so
Can't believe you're really gone for good
I still hold on to places you once stood
I should move on but I never could
Really believe you're gone for good
Oh my friend, what could I do?
I just came home to bury you
The road is long, the road is rough
You're in my heart, that's not close enough
All those years disappear
All my tears are not enough, not enough
How can it be the ties that bind
Cut down deep and are so unkind?
When we lose them we will never find
Anything stronger than the ties that bind
I still have your memory
One or two pictures of you and me
Life is long and life is tough
But when you love someone

Top Emmylou Harris, O Evangeline

Oh, yeah, yeah
My doll, oh
Da, da, re
Oh Evangeline, you've been gone so long
And for a time it seemed every road you took turned wrong
But a second chance would come with each new bridge you burned
I know you squandered some but then from some you learned
And the point of rescue, well, you passed that long ago
Oh, but to hear you tell it was just another part of the show
Oh Evangeline, your faith shone blind and true
We raise our glass and sing of you, Evangeline
Evangeline, Evangeline
Evangeline, Evangeline
Oh Evangeline, you with no kith or kin
The nights so hard and mean, you shed like them a skin
For you were always strong when the bad slid down to worse
You still had that song, it was your blessing and your curse
But in your tongue there is no word for home
There'll be no one to roll away the stone
Oh Evangeline, you have been a prisoner here
Bread and roses we shall bring to you, Evangeline
Oh Evangeline, what are you fighting for?
You stayed out in that ring when nobody's even keepin' score
But round by round you earned, your stumble into grace
Still with every turn the world becomes a sadder place
It swallows up the ones you have loved the most
So you sleep with none and you wake with ghosts
Oh Evangeline, you have salted with your tears
Every lonely mile you've seen through the years, Evangeline
Evangeline, Evangeline
Evangeline, Evangeline
Evangeline, Evangeline
And it's a fatal shore you now wash upon
So weary of the war and no longer young
Oh Evangeline, your voice risin' sweet and clear
We close our eyes and dream of you, Evangeline
Evangeline, Evangeline
Evangeline, Evangeline
Evangeline, Evangeline

Top Emmylou Harris, New Cut Road

Coleman Bonner was a fiddle playin' fool
He's a backwoods rounder and a breaker of mules
Coleman Bonner's got a wore out bow
He's been playin' all day down the new cut road
Coleman's little sister said you better act right
Daddy's gone to Louisville he'll be back tonight
He's gonna get another wagon and a good pair of mules
And we gonna move to Texas we just waitin' on you
Coleman's daddy pulled up in the yard
He said pack up your lives kids it's gettin' too hard
Kentucky's alright but there's too many people
Just the other day I thought I saw a church steeple
Coleman said daddy don't you worry bout me
I'm gonna stay here in Kentucky till the day I d
I'm gonna drink that sourmash and gonna race that mare
And find that woman with the fox red hair
Now you all been movin' west since the day you got
married
Well I'm gettin' off the wagon daddy I'm too old to be
carried
Gonna stay here in Kentucky where the bluegrass grow
I'm gonna play it all night down the new cut road
Coleman's daddy said now what's it all comn' to
Young people these days are just as stubborn as mules
You can't make him go he's too old for that
It's that damned old fiddle and that bowler hat
Coleman's mama said let the boy stay
He's raised up solid and he can find his own way
But as for me honey I'm with you
I always thought Kentucky was just passin' through
Coleman's little sister then she started into a cryin'
And his daddy shook his head for the very last time
Coleman's mama said somebody's gotta do it
Wouldn't be no Kentucky less you didn't stick to it
Coleman Booner stood on the porch of that cabin
Watched 'em all go to Texas in a covered wagon
He pulled out his fiddle and he rosined up his bow

Top Emmylou Harris, New Orleans

My Lord how the rains came down
The waters made a mighty sound
When the levees broke that day
Washin' all those souls away
The whole world stood to watch us drown
But we took it to a higher ground
It takes more than a hurricane
To empty out the Pontchartrain
Long ago we broke the chains
In New Orleans New Orleans
When Brother Bill and Sister Nell
Are singing like a ringing bell
Then you'll know all is well
In New Orleans New Orleans
Bring it all, fire and flood
Fill the rivers up with mud
To cut and run ain't in our blood
We are New Orleans
So baby let the life roll on
The blues were made to make us strong
We're walkin' in a brighter day
Nothin' can get in our way
The whole world stood to watch us drown

Top Emmylou Harris, Night Flyer

The window is open - so why don't you fly?
Could it be you have lost all the yearning to try?
Your cage is a prison - they've kept you so long
But wings are for flying - the throat's for a song
So fly like an eagle and land like a dove
Go find all the places you must have dreamed of
Fly away with your troubles and drop them somewhere
And if you're only dreaming I don't really care.
They won't even miss you - or ask where you've been
They'll feed you and listen for a song now and then
Fly over the mountain and come back to me
And tell in your song what it's like to be free
So fly like an eagle and land like a dove
Go find all the places you must have dreamed of
Fly away with your troubles and drop them somewhere
And if you're only dreaming I don't really care
God gave us the places to labor and strive
But if living ain't nothing but staying alive
Then give me the dying if that's what you found
Don't sing on my grave or drop flowers on the ground
So fly like and eagle and land like a dove
I'll find all the places that I have dreamed of
Fly away with my troubles and drop them somewhere

Top Emmylou Harris, Nobody

Ridin' on her bicycle to school
A little girl out breakin' all the rules
She don't care about the birds and bees
She's too busy skinnin' both her knees
With the arms of a loving childhood wrapped around her
All the wonders of the world surround her
And with the angels up above her soul to keep
In her bed down here below she falls asleep
She don't need nobody
She don't need nobody
She don't need nobody now
All grown up and livin' on her own
She goes to work and then comes home alone
But she believes someday her prince will come
There's a lot of life to go at 21
With nothing but her faith in love to guide her
She follows the young heart that beats inside her
Walk right through that door and bet it all
Confident she can take the fall
She's ready for somebody
She's ready for somebody
She's ready for somebody now
As the years go by
The woman's not so sure
She feels an ache inside
That seems to have no cure
How did life get so long
Does no one ever stay
Was the dream of one true love
Just lost along the way
But she believes she has so much to give
Is there any other reason why we live
She still wants somebody
She still wants somebody
She still wants somebody
Now that little girl is growing old
All of her sad stories have been told
But there are no regrets, she'll place no blame
She knows for everyone it is the same
Even when the well runs dry and the bread's unleavened
And she wonders if there really is a heaven
She finds her way back to that little girl
And wraps her empty arms around the world
She don't need nobody
She don't need nobody

Top Emmylou Harris, Your Long Journey

God's given us years of happiness here
Now we must part
And as the angels come and call for you
The pains of grief tug at my heart
Oh my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey
Oh the days will be empty
The nights so long without you my love
And when God calls for you I'm left alone
But we will meet in heaven above
Oh my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey
Fond memories I'll keep of happy ways
That on earth we trod
And when I come we will walk hand in hand
As one in Heaven in the family of God
Oh my darling
My darling

Top Emmylou Harris, You're Free To Go

You're free to go, darling
I'll break the ties that bind
Somehow the plans we made have gone astray
You're free to go, darling
So ease your worried mind
I'll never stand in your way
There's no ream of shining gold
So strong that it can hold
A heart that longs to be near
The lips are cold, darling
That once said yes to me
The tender love is gone, I know
You're free to go
There's no ream of shining gold
So strong that it can hold
A heart that longs to be free
The lips are cold, darling
That once said yes to me
The tender love is gone, I know
You're free to go
The tender love is gone, I know

Top Emmylou Harris, On The Radio

Someone found the letter you wrote me on the radio
And they told the world just how you felt
It must've fallen out of a hole in your old brown overcoat
They never said your name but I knew just who they meant
Oh, I was so surprised and shocked and I wondered too
If by chance, you heard it for yourself
I never told a soul just how I'd been feeling over you
But they said it really loud and said it on the air
On the radio
Oh, on the radio
Oh, on the radio
Now, don't it kinda strike you sad when you hear our song
Things are not the same, since we broke up last June
The only thing that I want to hear is that you love me still
And that you think, you'll be comin' home real soon
Oh, he kinda a made me feel proud when I heard him say
You couldn't find the words to say it for yourself
And now in my heart I know, I can say what I really mean
'Cause they said it really loud, they said it on the air
On the radio
Oh, on the radio
Oh, on the radio
Now if you think that love isn't found on the radio
Then tune right in you may find the love lost
'Cause now I'm sittin' here with the man I sent away long ago
He found, he really lied, he said, he really lied
On the radio
Oh, on the radio
Oh, on the radio

Top Emmylou Harris, Like An Old Fashioned Waltz

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Primrose is pale
On the velvet green hue
Warm summer days
Like cool water falls
Like music we hear
Those things we'll always hold dear
Like an old fashioned waltz
When the moonlight shines down
On the Hollywood world
And the heroine waits
For her love to return
And the violins play
From behind garden walls
Oh, how I love to remain
With the silver refrain
Of an old fashioned waltz
And they dance 'round the floor
And there's no one else there
In the world is no worry
And is never a care
And the perfect moon
As the nightingale calls
With only the moon
And the nostalgic tune

Top Emmylou Harris, Its Only Rock N Roll

(Rodney Crowell)
Well, it's only rock and roll keep you running from yourself
When the only way to slow down is to fall
And it's only rock and roll that caused you to leave home
When the only way to get back is to crawl
But the record people love you they can get you on the bill
Change your name to money dress up fit to kill
People all around you everywhere you go
Don't worry if they love you son it's only rock and roll
Yes and it's only rock and roll keep you jumping all the time
When you really ought to sit this one out
And it's only rock and roll keep on messin' with your mind when
You don't know what they're talkin' about
All around the world everywhere you go
People got to have it 'cause it's only rock and roll
It's only rock and roll yes it's only rock and roll
People all around you everywhere you go
Don't worry if they love you, 'cause it's only rock and roll
Well it's only rock and roll when your money's in the mail
And your love's on the back of the bus
And it's only rock and roll when your records start to sell
And you don't know why they're making such a fuss
Telephone receiver ringin' off the wall
Can I get witness each and every call
Second that emotion chased into your soul
Don't worry lest you linger, son it's only rock and roll
It's only rock and roll yes it's only rock and roll
People all around you everywhere you go
Don't worry if they love you, 'cause it's only rock and roll
It's only rock and roll. yeah it's only rock and roll
All around the world everywhere you go

Top Emmylou Harris, In My Dreams

When the sun goes down on the other side of town tonight
And the world is asleep dreamin' in the deep moonlight
I'll slip away in the shadows out of your life
You don't want' me anymore so I'll close the door when I leave
My bags are packed and I'll give you back your keys
You keep your ring and I'll keep your memory
But in my dreams at night, oh oh
Everything will work out right
'Cause I'll still hold you tight, in my dreams
Well, it's hard to take when love breaks down and dies
But it's better to quit than to sit each night and cry
I'd rather know the truth than to live through a life of lies
But in my dreams at night, oh oh
Everything will work out right
'Cause I'll still hold you tight, in my dreams
Maybe it's for the best to give this love of ours a rest
But I'll come runnin' back if you want me
Well, bye bye baby it seems that we're all through
You sure know how to make this little girl blue
When you say you don't want the things, I can do for you
But in my dreams at night, oh oh
Everything will work out right
'Cause I'll still hold you tight, in my dreams
In my dreams at night, oh oh
Everything will work out right

Top Emmylou Harris, Good News

(Shirley Eikhard)
Darkness falls and you withdraw
Your humour disappears
It's been this way for years
It's nothing new
Come around and don't look down
You'll never see the sun
You'll never see the one
Who's loving you
You've got to hold your head up, darling
Never let them see
When you're sad, you look a lot like me
You've got to want to win my darling
Or you're bound to lose
I wish for once that I could bring you good news, good news
Now I don't care for sad affairs,
The outcome's up to you
If tears are overdue, then let them fall...
Come around and don't look down

I wish for once that I could bring you good news, good news

Top Emmylou Harris, Drivin' Wheel

Well, all I want is a love that's hot
Can't be sold, can't be bought
Yeah, love that don't try to be somethin' it's not
Well, all I need is a love that's real

Top Emmylou Harris, Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend

(Leo Robin/Jule Styne)
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
A kiss may be grand but it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat or help you at the automat
Men grow cold as girls grow old
We all lose our charm in the end
But square cut or pear shape
These rocks don't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Yeah diamonds are a girl's best friend
Let's rock
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
There may come a time when a hardboiled employer
Thinks you're awful nice, but get that ice or else no dice
He's your guy when stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend
It's then that those spouses
And diamonds are a girl's best friend
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Yeah diamonds are a girl's best friend
Let's rock again
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Top Emmylou Harris, Baby Better Start Turnin' 'Em Down

(Rodney Crowell)
In this modern world we're livin'
The rules ain't like they've ever been
Speakin' of spreading it thin
That's what you do, flashing your soul
That ain't no way to treat your lover
Ain't no way to act with feelings
Baby, better start turnin' em down
Now it's a brave new wave we're roarin' in
Hanging out, out on the rock 'n roll fringe
Speaking of running around
All over town, lettin' it show
That ain't no way to treat your lover
Ain't no way to act in public
Baby, don't better start turnin' em down, start to turnin' down
Sure is clear ain't nothin' easy any more
Sure gets cloudy when I look in all directions
Sure is rainin' like this feeling in my heart
Sure is crazy how you're acting
In this latest craze or current trend
Burnin' money every way that you can
Speakin' of goin' for broke
That's how it is and lettin' it slow
That ain't no way to treat your lover
Ain't no way to act with strangers
Baby, you'd better start turnin' em down, start to turnin' down
Baby, better start turnin'
Baby, better start turnin' 'em down

Top Emmylou Harris, Ooh Las Vegas

Top Emmylou Harris, Satan's Jewel Crown

Now if I were a queen and a ruler of nations
With diamonds and jewels profound
Well, I'd rather know that I had salvation
Than to know my reward would be Satan's jewel crown
Satan's jewel crown I've worn it so long
But God for my soul has reached down
His love set me free, He made me His own
And helped me cast off Satan's jewel crown
Oh, the life that I live so sinful and needless
Drinkin' and runnin' around
All the things that I do for the love of the Devil
I know my reward will be Satan's jewel crown
Satan's jewel crown I've worn it so long
But God for my soul has reached down
His love set me free, He made me His own

Top Emmylou Harris, SIN CITY

This old town's filled with sin
It will swallow you in
If you've got some money to burn
Take it home right away
You've got three years to pay
But Satan is waiting his turn
The scientists say
It will all wash away
But we don't believe any more
'Cause we've got our recruits
And our green mohair suits
So please show your I.D. at the door
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house
It seems like this whole town's insane
On the thirty first floor a gold plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
A friend came 'round
Tried to clean up this town
His ideas made some people mad
But he trusted his crowd
So he spoke right out loud
And they lost the best friend they had
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house
It seems like this whole town's insane
On the thirty first floor a gold plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
On the thirty first floor a gold plated door

Top Emmylou Harris, Till I Gain Control Again

(Rodney Crowell)
Just like the sun over the mountain top
You know i'll always come again
You know i love to spend my morning time
Like sunlight dancing on your skin
I've never gone so wrong as to telling lies to you
What you've seen is what I've been
There is nothing I could hide from you
You see me better than I can
Out on the road that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
Till i can gain control again
Like a lighthouse you must stand alone
Landmark the sailor's journeys end
No matter what sea I've have been sailing on
I'll always roll this way again
Out on the road that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now

Top Emmylou Harris, Together Again

Together again my tears have stopped falling
The long lonely nights are now at an end
The key to my heart you hold in your hand
And nothing else matters 'cause we're together again
Together again the gray skies are gone
You're back in my arms now where you belong
The love that we knew is living again
And nothing else matters 'cause we're together again
Together again my tears have stopped falling
The long lonely nights are now at an end
The love that we knew is living again
And nothing else matters 'cause we're together again

Top Emmylou Harris, Ashes By Now

(Rodney Crowell)
This morning is Monday where are you now
Teasin' my memory teaching me how to lay low
When I don't want to
Well love is elusive this I know now
It's making me crazy leaving me out
In the open when I don't want to
The moments of pleasures Never do last
Are gone like a suitcase full of your past
Long gone and in a hurry
Baby, I can't go through this again
I don't need to go down more then I've already been
Just like a wild fire you're running all over town
As much as you burn me baby I should be ashes by now
The second street beggars alone in their life
Drunk on a sidewalk to hide from the night
Like I am They're just like I am
Baby, I can't go through this again
I don't need to go down more then I've already been
Just like a wild fire you're running all over town
As much as you burn me baby I should be ashes by now
Just like a wild fire You're running all over town
As much as you burn me, baby I should be ashes by now

Top Emmylou Harris, Bad Moon Rising

(John Fogerty)
I see a bad moon rising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lighting
I see bad times today
Now don't go 'round tonight
For it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
I hear hurricanes a blowing
I know the end is comin' soon
I fear the river's overflowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin
I hope you have got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather

Top Emmylou Harris, Evangeline

She stands on the banks of mighty Mississippi
Alone in the pale moonlight
Waitin' for a man, a riverboat gambler
Said that he'd return tonight
They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
Lovin' the whole night through
He was a riverboat gambler off to make a killin'
And bring it on back to you
Evangeline, Evangeline
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
That pulled her man away
Bayou Sam from South Louisian'
Had gamblin' in his veins
Evangeline from the maritime
Was slowly goin' insane
High on the top of a Hickory Hill
She stands in the lightning and thunder
Down on the river the boat was a sinkin'
She watched that Queen go under
Evangeline, Evangeline
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
That pulled her man away
Evangeline, Evangeline
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen

Top Emmylou Harris, Hot Burrito #2

(Gram Parsons/Chris Ethridge)
Yes, you loved me and you sold my clothes
I love you, but that's the way that it goes
So it goes
Yes, you know how I feel
So it goes
It just couldn't be real
And we know it's wrong
And I don't think it's gonna go on
When I come home carrying my shoes
I've been waiting to tell you some news
And you want me home all night
And you don't want another fight
But you better love
Find some love
You better love me, Jesus Christ
Yes, you loved me and you sold all my clothes
I love you, baby, but that's the way that it goes
So it goes
I guess you know how I feel
So it goes
Yes, it couldn't be real
And you want me home all night
You just don't want another fight
But you better love
Find some love
Love me baby, Jesus Christ

Top Emmylou Harris, How High The Moon

Somewhere there's music, how faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven, how high the moon
There is no moon above and love is far away too
'Till it comes true that you love me and I love you
Somewhere there's music, how near, how far
Somewhere there's heaven that's where you are
The darkest night would shine if you would come to me soon
Until you will, I'll still, my heart, how high the moon
Somewhere there's music, how faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven, how high the moon
The darkest night would shine if you would come to me soon
Until you will, I'll still, my heart, how high the moon
The darkest night would shine if you would come to me soon

Top Emmylou Harris, There's A Light

There's a light, there's a light in the darkness
And the black of the night cannot harm us
We can trust not to fear for our comfort is near
There's a light, there's a light in the darkness
It will rain it will rain in the desert
In the cracks of the plain there's a treasure
Like the thurst of the seed we will await we believe
It will rain it will rain in the desert
We will fly we will fly we will let go
To this world we will die but our hearts know
We'll see more on that side when the door opens wide
We will fly we will fly we will fly we will fly

Top Emmylou Harris, The Road

I can still remember every song you played
Long ago when we were younger and we rocked the night away.
How could I see a future then, where you would not grow old?
Such fire in our belly, such a hunger in souls.
I guess I've grown to love you in those words so often tired
Seen that we were traveling under some old lucky sign
I know I didn't say it then and no one was to blame
But the road we shared together once will never be the same.
Hey all along the way
Won't be coming round again. Hey was a song I played. And on the wings of a song, I'll fly away.
I wondered in the wilderness for a while I was so lost.
To everything there is a season and every blessing has it's cost.
So I took what you left to me and put it to some use
When looking for an answer with those three chords and the truth.
I come down from the moutain I come walking in your shoes.
I was taken for a glambler when I had no more to loose
For he put me on that path and how could I refuse.
And I would spend my whole life out here working on the blues.
Hey... Ay Hey. Hey. Ay. Hey. Heeeeeeeeey.
So I carried on, you can't be haunted by the past.
People come people, go and nothing ever lasts.
But I still think about you wonder where you are.
Can you see me from some place up there among the stars?
But down here under heaven there never was a chart
To guide our way accross this crooked highway of the (part?)
And if it's only all about the journy in the end
On that road I'm glad I came to know my old friend.
Hey all along the way

Top Emmylou Harris, ROSE OF CIMARRON

Top Emmylou Harris, The Other Side Of Life

Praise God, I feel like singing
I'm on the other side of life now
All my days of sorrow and tears for my loved ones
I wish I could tell them the door that I feel
Though my body is weary my soul is uplifted
My sins are forgiven and my Jesus is real
Praise God, I feel like singing
I'm on the other side of life now
Though my eyes are dim I see heaven clearly
Though my voice grows feeble I sing just the same
In my heart there's a song as I see the gates open
I'll sing forever my joyous refrain
Praise God, I feel like singing
I'm on the other side of life now
Praise God, I feel like singing
