Everybody's talking at me I don't hear a word they're saying Only the echoes of my mind People stopping staring I can't see their faces Only the shadows of their eyes I'm going where the sun keeps shining Thru' the pouring rain Going where the weather suits my clothes Backing off of the North East wind Sailing on summer breeze And skipping over the ocean like a stone |

So long, big city; it's time to say goodbye.I'm longing for those country roads;I need to see the sky.Think I'll take a swing down south, visit Tennessee.See if that girl Annie still remembers me. Gonna take that blue highway and leave this sorry town.Stayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm bound.I don't wanna take the interstate; it represents all the things I hate.I'm rollin' down that blue highway. So long, confusion; it's time to slow things down.Say goodbye to my old friends, ease on out of town.I made me some money here but paid for ev'ry day.And ev'ry mile just makes me smile, 'cause I made my getaway. Gonna take that blue highway and leave this sorry town.I've stayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm bound.I've had it up to here with worry.From now on, I'm in no hurry, rollin' down that blue highway. I'll be ridin' that blue highway and leave this sorry town.I've stayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm bound.I've had it up to here with worry.From now on, I'm in no hurry, rollin' down that blue highway.I'll be rollin' down that blue highway.You can find me on that blue highway. |

Two broken hearts lonely looking houses
Where nobody lives Two people each having so much pride inside Neither side forgives Angry words spoken in haste Such a waste of two lives Its my belief Pride is the chief cause in the decline In the number of husbands and wives [Chorus] A woman and a man A man and a woman Some can and some can't and some can't Two broken hearts lonely looking houses Where nobody lives Two people each having so much pride inside Neither side forgives Angry words spoken in haste Such a waste of two lives Its my belief Pride is the chief cause in the decline In the number of husbands and wives [Chorus] |

One two One two three four Woke up it was a Chelsea mornin' And the first thing that I heard Was the song outside my window And the traffic wrote the words It came ringin' up like Christmas bells And rappin' up like pipes and drums Won't you stay We'll put on the day And we'll wear it 'til the night comes Woke up it was a Chelsea mornin' And the first thing that I saw Was the sun through yellow curtains And a rainbow on my wall Red green and gold to welcome you And crimson crystal beads to beckon Won't you stay We'll put on the day There's a sun shower every second Woke up it was a Chelsea mornin' And the first thing that I knew There was milk and toast and honey And a bowl of oranges too And the light poured in like butterscotch And stuck to all my seenses Won't you stay We'll put on the day And we'll talk in present tenses |

You're not a dream
You're not an angel You're a woman I'm not a king I'm a man Take my hand We'll make a space In the lives that we planned And here we'll stay Until it's time for you to go Yes, we're different worlds apart We're not the same We laughed and played At the start like in a game You could have stayed outside my heart But in you came And here you'll stay Until it's time for you to go Don't ask why Don't ask how Don't ask for ever, honey Love me, now This love of mine Had no beginning; it has no end I was an oak, now I'm a willow Now I can bend And though I'll never in my life see you again Still I'll stay Until it's time for you to go Don't ask why of me Don't ask how of me Don't ask forever of me, honey Love me Love me You're not a dream You're not an angel You're a woman I'm not a king I'm a man Take my hand We'll make a space In the lives that we planned And here we'll stay Until it's time for you to go |

Made of sand, made of sand In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin' In your hand, in your hand. Are you goin' away with no word of farewell Will there be not a trace left behind? Well I should have loved you better, Didn't mean to be unkind You know that was the last thing on my mind. You've got reasons a-plenty for goin' This I know, this I know For the weeds have been steadily growin' Please don't go, please don't go. Are you goin' away with no word of farewell Will there be not a trace left behind? I could have loved you better, Didn't mean to be unkind You know that was the last thing on my mind. As I lie in my bed in the mornin' Without you, without you Each song in my breast dies of bornin' Without you, without you Are you goin' away with no word of farewell Will there be not a trace left behind? Well I should have loved you better, Didn't mean to be unkind You know that was the last thing on my mind. |

Suzanne takes you down To her place by the river You can hear the boats go by You can spend the night forever And you know the girl's half crazy But thats why you want to be there She feeds you tea and oranges That come all the way from china And just when you want to tell her That you have no love to give her Then she gets you on her wavelength And lets the river answer That youve always been her lover And jesus was a sailor When he walked upon the water And he spent a long time watching From the lonely wooden tower And when he knew for certain Only drowning men could see him He said all men are sailors then Until the sea shall free them But he himself was broken Long before the sky would open Forsaken, almost human He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone And you want to travel with him And you want to travel blind And you think that you may trust him For he's touched your perfect body with his mind. Suzanne takes you down To her place by the river You can hear the boats that go by You can spend the night forever And the sun pours down like honey On our lady of the harbour And she shows you where to look Only the garbage and the flowers There are heroes in the seaweed There are children in the morning They are leaning out for love And they will lean that way forever While suzanne holds the mirror |

I knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you In worn out shoes Silver hair a ragged shirt and baggy pants The old soft shoe He jumped so high He jumped so high Then he'd lightly touch down I met him in a cell in New Orleans I was Down and out He looked to me to be the eyes of age As he spoke right out He talked of life He talked of life He laughed clicked his heels and stepped Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles Dance He said his name Bojangles and he danced a lick Across the cell He grabbed his pants a better stance he jumped so high Then he clicked his heels He let go a laugh let go a laugh Pushed back his clothes all around He danced for those in minstral shows and county fairs Throughout the south He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him Traveled about The dog up and died He up and died After twenty years he still grieves Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles Dance He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks For drinks and tips But most the time I spend behind these county bars He said I drinks a bit He's his head And as he's his head I heard someone ask him please Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles Dance |

If you go away on this summer day Then you might as well take the sun away All the birds that flew in a summer sky When our love was new and our hearts were high When the day was young and the night was lo-ong And the moon stood still for the night birds song If you go away, If you go away, If you go away But if you stay I'll make you a day Like no day has been or will be again We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind Then if you go-o I'll understand Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand If you go away, If you go away, If you go away If you go away as I know you must There'll be nothin' left in the world to trust Just an empty room full of empty space Like the empty look I see on your face Can I tell you now as you turn to go I'll be dying slowly till your next hello If you go away, If you go away, If you go away But if you stay, I'll make you a night Like no night has been or will be again I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch I'll talk to your eyes that I-I love so much But if you go, I won't cry For the good's gone from goodbye If you go away, If you go away, If you go away-ay-ay-ay |

Broken windows And empty hallways A pale dead moon in a sky streaked with gray Human kindness Is overflowin' And I think it's goin' to rain today Scarecrows dressed In the latest styles With frozen smiles to chase love away Human kindness Is overflowin' And I think it's goin' to rain today Lonely Lonely Tin can at my feet Kick it down the street And that's the way to treat a friend Right before me The signs implore me Help the needy and show them the way Human kindness is overflowin' And I think it's goin' to rain today |

The road is long With many a winding turn That leads us to who knows where Who knows when But I'm strong Strong enough to carry him He ain't heavy, he's my brother So on we go His welfare is of my concern No burden is he to bear We'll get there For I know He would not encumber me He ain't heavy, he's my brother If I'm laden at all I'm laden with sadness That everyone's heart Isn't filled with the gladness Of love for one another It's a long, long road From which there is no return While we're on the way to there Why not share And the load Doesn't weigh me down at all He ain't heavy, he's my brother He's my brother He ain't heavy, he's my brother |
