I'm writing you this letter from some old hotel
I can feel the distance between us From the Spanish Steps to the liberty bell I know the Angels have seen us seen us, baby see us, baby They see you down on Seventh Avenue While you're just hanging by a thread And I'm sitting in a lonely room without a view, baby Wishing I was there with you instead Won't you walk through this world with me? Walk through the world Over the miles of mystery Walk through this world with me I'm staring out across the rooftops, baby I've seen the writing on the wall Heard a little bit of thunder, at the Seventh Wonder But everything is bound to rise and fall, that's all Won't you walk through this world with me? Walk through the world, yeah Over the mountains and the shining sea, yeah Walk through this world with me, walk on, walk on, walk on Walk on, yeah, walk, walk, walk yeah Let me get this ringing out of my ears Let me get these stars out of my eyes 'Cause I just want to look back over all the years With you right there standing by my side, could you just Walk through the world with me? Walk through the world Over the miles of mystery Walk through this world with me Walk through the world with me? Walk through the world Over the mountains and the shining sea, yeah Walk through this world with me, yeah come on Walk through the world Walk through the world Walk through the world Walk through this world with me, come on baby |

My father was a working man
But his work was never done He stood behind a counter And he smiled at everyone He bought himself a business Worked seven days a week Took a holiday for Christmas Then he fell asleep beside the tree But one day One day There's love for the lonely One day They walk in the sun One day Rest for the weary Rest for the weary ones Now my mother stood beside him She did what she could do But if you look at some old photograph She looks tired too I hope there was some laughter Cause I know there were some tears Now all I can say is I pray to God That after all those years After all those years That one day One day There's love for the lonely One day They walk in the sun One day Rest for the weary Rest for the weary ones Now I'm just another traveler On another winding road I'm trying to walk some kind of line I'm trying to pull some kind of load Now sometimes I move real easy Sometimes I can't catch my breath Sometimes I see my father's footsteps And man it scares me half to death But one day One day There's love for the lonely One day We walk in the sun One day Rest for the weary Rest for the weary ones |

Clouds move in
From off the horizon Feels like nighttime In the middle of the day And I don't know why But it's still so suprisin' How a love grows stronger Or it just fades away But you look older today Than I've ever seen you I think I know the reason We might wash all our tears away But you got to bundle up baby For the rainy season I hear you breathing heavy On the telephone tonight I can feel the air is thick as thieves Sometimes I just want to tell you We'll be all right At least that's what some part of me believes But you look older today Than I've ever seen you Think I know the reason We might wash all our tears away But you got to bundle up, bundle up, bundle up For the rainy season Oh, oh I've been holding on so long Holding on and holding on so long Oh, oh I've been holding on so long Won't you bundle up baby Could you bundle up, bundle up, bundle up For the rainy season |

Dogs are barking and she's so high, she's never coming down. Don't wanna pull the shade tonight, I think I'm wanna drown. I'm sending out a message, or could I die too soon? 'Cause I don't know where I'm going, Since Mama's in the moon. (REPEAT INTRO) Now, I can hear her laughing, and I can hear her cry. I can see her dancing somewhere in the sky. I'm rising like the ocean, and I'm crazy as a loon. And I don't know what I'm doing, Since Mama's in the moon. The dogs are barking and she's so high, And she's never coming down. |

Don't talk to her when shooting stars are falling
Don't talk to her when she can smell the jasmine in the air Don't talk to her when no one knows you're calling You might just say the words that keep her waiting there Don't talk to her when she is softly sleeping Don't wake her to the sound of your voice whispering her name Don't tell her all the secrets you've heen keeping Don't tell her that you're drowning in a river of shame When the wolf is howling Underneath the moon Underneath the window Of a hotel room Burn the blanket Shoot the light But don't talk to her at night Don't talk to her in thunder or in lightning Don't talk to her with fuses blown and wires falling down Don't talk to her when the fever is frightening When she's burning in the bedroom in an evening gown Or when the wolf is howling Undernearh the moon Underneath the window Of a hotel room Burn the blanket Shoot the light But don't talk to her at night Don't talk to her at night |

Well, I had just checked in when the sun came up
After ten hours on the bus. I was staring at the stains on the ceiling, baby, Trying not to think about us. But then someone in a room five-oh two Started doing the thing that we used to do. Every bang, every boom, It was just like it was happening in my own room. 'Cause they've got paper walls, paper walls, Paper walls...ooh, yeah. I closed the curtain, I shut the light, I heard the highway moan. Next thing I remember they were having a fight, And then, she was all alone. I heard her cry in the darkest hour, I heard it echo in the hotel shower, I heard her start packing her things, so, I called her number and I heard it ring... Right through the paper walls, paper walls, Paper walls, ooh yeah, now. I've never seen such a sight before, The way she looked when she opened the door. Hush now baby don't make a sound, When all your love comes a-tumblin' down... Just like a paper wall, paper wall, Paper wall, ooh just like a paper wall. It ain't the road that kills you, baby, It's the all night calls It ain't the road that kills you, baby, It's just the paper walls |

I can see you with the top down
In that car you keep under the eaves I can see the ocean wind blow Through your hair And all along your sleeves I see you turning up the radio Listening to the DJ's dedication I can see you with the angels Flying off the tower At the station Me I keep watching from the corner of my eye Looking for some reason I should run I know you don't have your answers either baby But at least you know that you can really love someone I see you kneeling in the garden Closer now to something real and true I see you feeding something beautiful And I think that's all you ever Really wanted to do Now you're blowing out the candles Now the guests pull out the drive Now you're listening for the telephone Of footsteps That don't arrive Me I keep watching from the corner of my eye Looking for some reason I should run I know you don't have your answers either baby But at least you know that you can really love someone Really love Really love You can really love someone |

Lately he can feel it
Turning off inside his heart She's calling him from the car phone And she's falling apart Now he could call in her prescription And they will take it down off the shelf But he knows that he can't save her from herself no more No more And you can ride home in the country doctor And you might do the best that you can But who is gonna help the medicine man Who is gonna save him? Now he always was a healer There was something in his eyes And his hand upon your head When fever started to rise And there's someone he lost long ago Now there's flowers on her grave And they say that it's still her That he's trying to save He's trying to save her And you can ride home in the country doctor And you might do the best that you can But who is gonna help the medicine man Who is gonna save the medicine man? Who is gonna save him? Who is gonna save him? Later on in the evening When the sun goes sinking down He goes out for a walk Along the sound And he thinks he can hear her Calling him away But he tells her he must wait Another day Wait another day |

Baby King
Baby King You got to get ready for a baby king You might dance daddy You might sing But you never seen nothin' like a baby king No Virgin Mary brought him here (Get ready for a baby king) But the angels whispered in his tiny little ear (Get ready for a baby king) Then they sent him down from up above (Get ready for a baby king) Just to show you how to really love (Get ready for a baby king) Baby King Baby King You got to get ready for a baby king You might dance daddy You might sing But you never seen nothin' like a baby king |

She runs down the staircase
And into the yard And she goes down to the end of the drive With her friends on the phone And her angels on guard She's just recently feeling alive After all of the tears and the changes Now there's something that's taken ahold She's becoming gold She's becoming gold She thinks of a boy That she knew back in school And she wonders if he's doing all right The man of her dreams Isn't all that he seems And the baby don't sleep through the night Something is moving inside her And the weather is turning so cold But she's becoming gold, She's becoming gold She's becoming gold (I've seen her) She's becoming gold She can hear in the distance The sound of the cars And she sees the snow falling down on the hill Now the trees and the houses Are white as the stars And she doesn't wanna cry But she probably will As she thinks about all of life's mystery And how slowly the answers unfold She's becoming gold She's becoming gold |

Don't know much about you
Don't know who you are We've been doing fine without you But, we could only go so far Don't know why you chose us Were you watching from above Is there someone there that knows us Said we'd give you all our love Will you laugh just like your mother Will you sigh like your old man Will some things skip a generation Like I've heard they often can Are you a poet or a dancer A devil or a clown Or a strange new combination of The things we've handed down I wonder who you'll look like Will your hair fall down and curl Will you be a mama's boy Or daddy's little girl Will you be a sad reminder Of what's been lost along the way Maybe you can help me find her In the things you do and say And these things that we have given you They are not so easily found But you can thank us later For the things we've handed down You may not always be so grateful For the way that you were made Some feature of your father's That you'd gladly sell or trade And one day you may look at us And say that you were cursed But over time that line has been Extremely well rehearsed By our fathers, and their fathers In some old and distant town From places no one here remembers Come the things we've handed down |
