I am searching through the canyon
It is your name that I am calling Tho you're so far away I know you hear my plea Why won't you answer me 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 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 |

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 tresses 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 saftely 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 And you will dream your dream of me... |

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 Pleasantville 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 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 can 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. 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 Let the rest fight over what is left Doin' time in Babylon. Little boy blue come blow your horn The cows are in the corn The morning sky is red and falling down Let your song of healing spark A way out of this dark Lead us to a higher and a holy ground... |

Can You Hear Me Now
O the walls are closin' 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 O the stories I could teil Sometimes I really hit my stride We make our own Heaven and our own Heil 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 How did the load get to be so heavy I used to wear my troubie like a crown A bad flood's poundin' on the levee And l'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 up my S.O.S. A message in a bottle set out to sea It just reads |

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 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 And it's a miracle How one soul finds another Just one miracle Is all it took for my brother For I have seen them As they walk the world together And I believe, I believe 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 I will see them Someday they'll walk again together I believe, I believe This I believe, I believe. |

(Writer: Emmylou Harris, Paul Kennerley)
Why don't you call me Do you think I won't answer Jupiter's risin' And the moon is in Cancer. You 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'Il be no blink of the eyes baby The eyes of this woman who loves you. Heaven's gettin' nearer Transmission gettin' clearer now my love Stars are fallin' 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 Temperatures risin' And the moon is in cancer. There's a road you can nde now baby Out to that wild and blue It runs right thru the heart of The heart of this woman who loves you. Jupiter risin'... |

O Evangeline you 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 O Evangeline your faith shone blind and true We raise our glass and sing Of you Evangeline. O 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 O Evangeline you have been a prisoner here Bread and roses we shall bring To you Evangeline O 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 lost the most So you sleep with none You wake up with ghosts O Evangeline you have salted with your tears Every lonely mile you've seen Through the years Evangeline. It's a fatal shore You now wash upon So weary of the war And longer young O Evangeline your voice Risin' sweet and clear We close our eyes and dream Of you Evangeline... |

I was once some mother's darlin'
Some daddy's little girl More 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 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 was tortured in the desert I was raped out on the plain I was murdered by the high way And my cries went up in vain. My blood is on the mountain My blood is on the sand My blood runs in the river That now washes thru their hands. I am lost unto this world. Can I get no witness This unholy tale to tell Was God the only one there Watching and weeping as I fell. Oh, 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... |

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 m 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 call She could pass right thru 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 glamour 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 Well, it was in a cup of kindness All the time... |
