Lift me, won't you lift me above the old routine;
Make it nice, play it clean jazzman. When the jazzman's testifyin' a faithless man believes he can sing you into paradise or bring you to your knees. It's a gospel kind of feelin', a touch of Georgia slide, a song of pure revival and a style that's sanctified. Jazzman take my blues away; make my pain the same as yours with every change you play. Jazzman, oh jazzman. When the jazzman's signifyin', and the band is windin' low. It's the late night side of morning in the darkness of his soul. He can fill a room with sadness as he fills his horn with tears. He can cry like a fallen angel when risin' time is near. Jazzman take my blues away; make my pain the same as yours with every change you play. Oh lift me, won't you lift me with ev'ry turn around. Play it sweetly, take me down, oh jazzman. |

So Far Away
So far away, doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore? It would be so fine to see your face at my door Doesn't help to know you're just time away Long ago I reached for you and there you stood Holding you again could only do me good How I wish I could, but you're so far away One more song about movin' along the highway Can't say much of anything that's new If I could only work this life out my way I'd rather spend it bein' close to you. But you're so far away, doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore? It would be so fine to see your face at my door Doesn't help to know you're so far away Yay-uh-ay-eee Oh, so far away Travelin' around sure gets me down and lonely Nothin' else to do but close my mind I sure hope the road don't come to own me Yet so many dreams I've yet to fin-ind But you're so far away, doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore? It would be so fine to see your face at my door And it doesn't help to know you're so far away Yay-uh-ay-eee Oh, so far away Yay, you're so faaaaaar away |

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
And sometimes the blues get a hold of you Ah, just when you thought you had made it All around the block people will talk But I want to give it all that I got I just don't want, I don't want to waste it Talking 'bout-a sweet seasons on my mind Sure does appeal to me You know we can get there easily Just like a sailboat sailing on the sea Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose And most times you choose between the two Ah, wondering, wondering if you have made it But I'll have some kids and make my plans And I'll watch the seasons running away And I'll build me a life in the open, a life in the country I'm talking 'bout-a sweet seasons on my mind Sure does appeal to me You know we can get there easily Just like a sailboat a-sailing on the sea Talkin' 'bout-a sweet seasons Talkin' 'bout-a sweet, sweet, sweet seasons Talkin' 'bout-a sweet seasons Talkin' 'bout-a sweet seasons |

As I bask in the glow of a just-lit fire
Feeling the warmth as the flames grow higher I think it's true that nothing is really new under the sun Watching a new love grow from old love's embers Yesterday's gone but today remembers Doesn't it seem to come down the same for everyone (Chorus) Only love is real Everything else illusion Adding to the confusion of the way we connive At being alive Tracing a line till we can define The thing that allows us to feel Only love is real Childhood dreams like muddy waters Flowing through me to my son and daughters Everything I ever thought is confirmed as truth to me Even as I see the way that I want to go now Still I had wished I had known what I know now Maybe I could have spared you Giving your youth to me (Chorus) Only love is real Everything else illusion Adding to the confusion of the way we connive At being alive Tracing a line till we can define The thing that allows us to feel Only love is real |

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down I feel my heart start to trembling Whenever you're around Ooh, baby, when I see your face Mellow as the month of May Oh, darling, I can't stand it When you look at me that way I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down I feel my heart start to trembling Whenever you're around Oh, darling, when you're near me And you tenderly call my name I know that my emotions Are something I just can't tame I've just got to have you, baby I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down I just lose control Down to my very soul I get a hot and cold all over I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down, Tumbling down, tumbling down... |

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying One of us is changing or maybe we've just stopped trying And it's too late, baby, now it's too late Though we really did try to make it Something inside has died and I can't hide And I just can't fake it Oh no, no, no, no (no, no, no, no) It used to be so easy living here with you You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do Now you look so unhappy and I feel like a fool And it's too late, baby, now it's too late Though we really did try to make it (we can't make it) Something inside has died and I can't hide And I just can't fake it Oh no, no There'll be good times again for me and you But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too Still, I'm glad for what we had and how I once loved you But it's too late, baby, now it's too late Though we really did try to make it (we can't make it now) Something inside has died and I can't hide And I just can't fake it Oh no, no, no, no, no It's too late, baby It's too late, now darling It's too late |

Like some nightbird homeward winging
He seeks that shelteredness Like the sailor's lost horizon He needs some place to rest The songs that he's been singing No longer make much sense And those strangers' cold perceptions They've killed his confidence Nightingale She sails away upon a sea of song Nightingale She serenades his lonely, lonely life along When his tired voice is broken His golden hope is gone She makes a loss so simple-longing somehow not so wrong Nightingale He was strong but he was taken By the thought of his success Those spotlight shadows how they lured him And took him like all the rest But that old dream don't look good now No it don't seem quite the same He needs to hear a tender word Won't you sing him home again Nightingale She sails away upon a sea of songs Nightingale She serenades his lonely, lonely life along When his strength is slowly going His pride is all but gone She makes a foolish dreamer listen To one last song Nightingale Sing sweet nightingale |

Carole King
Green fields and rolling hills Room enough to do what we will Sweet dreams of yestertime are running though my mind Of a place I left behind, been so long, I can't remember when I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again Been so long, I'm living till then Cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until I go back again. Though I'm content with myself Sometimes I long to be somewhere else I try to do what I can, but with our day to day demands We all need a promised land. Been so long, I can't remember when I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again Been so long, I'm living till then 'cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until I go back again. Oh I want to be there in the wintertime With a fireplace burning to warm me And you to hold me when it's stormy Been so long, I can't remember when I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again Been so long, I'm living till then. -- Gail |

Now, Smackwater Jack,
He bought a shotgun 'Cause he was in the mood For a little confrontation. He just a-let it all hang loose; He didn't think about the noose. He couldn't take no more abuse So he shot down the congregation. You can't talk to a man With a shotgun in his hand. Now, Big Jim the chief Stood for law and order. He called for the guard to come And surround the border. Now, from his bulldog mouth, As he led the posse south, Came the cry, "We got to ride To clean up the streets For our wives and our daughters!" You can't talk to a man When he don't wanna understand. No, no, no, no, no. The account of the capture Wasn't in the papers, But you know, they hanged ol' Smack right then Instead of later. You know, the people were quite pleased 'Cause the outlaw had been seized And on the whole, it was a very good year For the undertaker. You know, you know, you can't talk to a man With a shotgun in his hand. A shotgun in his hand. Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun. Yeah, Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun. Oh, Smackwater Jack, yeah. Talkin' 'bout Smackwater Jack, yeah. Talkin' 'bout a-Smackwater Jack, now. Talkin' 'bout Smack. Talkin' 'bout Jack. Smackwater Jack, yeah. |

(Words and music by Carole King)
If you read the papers you may see History in the making You'll read what they say life is all about They say it's there for the taking Yeah, but you should really check it out If you want to know what's shaking But don't tell me about the things you've heard Maybe I'm wrong, but I want to believe in humanity I know it's often true - sad to say We have been unkind to one another Tell me how many times has the golden rule Been applied by man to his brother I believe if I really looked at what's going on I would lose faith I never could recover So don't tell me about the things you've heard Maybe I'm wrong, but I want to believe in humanity. Maybe I'm living with my head in the sand. I just want to see people giving. I want to believe in my fellow man. Yes, I want to believe. |
