Although you've spoken many times before,
A sight of birth he leaves you by a door. And now you know he doesn't understand. And all you need is the warmth of his hand. And if he'd smile your loving blood would dance, One silent kiss leaves you in a trance. And now you know you cannot live alone, But you will find your future is unknown. One day the questions rise. On wings of chance you fly. And on that day your laughs and tears will die, And fall as free as seabirds climb the skies. And you will love when love comes your way. And when it comes there's nothing more to say. And now you know he doesn't understand, And now you know you don't need his hand. One day the questions die, On wings of chance you fly. |

She is the day that gives me time to live and ???? love my life.
Till nite comes on with sundown scythe to end the puzzle pantomime. She is a day of love. She is the day thru which I walk toward the bridge where she stands. She is the air I breathe to sing, she is a smile without demands. She is the bridge on which I wait to watch the river 'neath me flow. All spinning, surging far below ???? ???? ????? She is a bridge of love. She is the day thru which I walk toward the bridge where she stands. She is the air I breathe to sing, she is a smile without demands. She is the air I breathe ????? Awake, asleep in ??? calm. A wind to wash my lifted palm, A sky that calls me out to dance. She is the air of love. She is the day thru which I walk toward the bridge where she stands. She is the air I breathe to sing, she is a smile without demands. She is the smile that keeps me warm with matchless laughter, eyes ablaze. A mischief mystery she plays upon the flute of early morn. She is a smile of love. She is the day thru which I walk toward the bridge where she stands. She is the air I breathe to sing, she is a smile without demands. |

With your beautiful hair
And your sixteen years You kissed me as I lay still If I can see you never, Then I'll sleep forever All my lonely love to kill. |

It happens every time.
Give my love, She leaves me behind. It happens every time. The sorrow makes me lose my mind. If she'd only be as true as I am, And listen to my love that's sayin', Oh baby won't you stay mine Your lovin' makes me feel so fine And someday baby you'll find My love was gentle and kind. Someday you'll know that leaving me was wrong. But don't bother all that time is gone. And it happens every time. Now I know it's not worth the tryin' So baby don't turn around Let my tears fall to the ground. If she'd only be as true as I am, And listen to my love that's sayin', Oh Oh Oh Oh.... |

Aren't you the girl who used to call me names?
Aren't you the girl who used to play at games? Weren't you the one who said she'd never fall? Now you're the one who's cryin' not so tall. Yes you're the one, Shall I throw you a crumb? Shall I come and pass you by? Would that make you want-a try? Shall I come and kiss your lips? Would that make your rain slip? Shall I come and dry your eyes? Will that make you realize? Oh I know what it's like. It's happened many times to me. Oh do you ache inside, Do your eyes want-a cry? Do you want me back again? Aren't you the girl who used to call me names? Aren't you the girl who used to play at games? Weren't you the one who used to run and hide? Now you're the one who's cryin' way inside. Oh I know what it's like. It's happened many times to me. Oh do you ache inside, Do your eyes want-a cry? Do you want me back again? |

You don't remember what to say, Lord
You don't remember what to do, Lord You don't remember where you've been And you don't remember who to choose You wheel and you steal But you're feeling honey when you kneel down Down, down, down, down, down, down, down All the stony people Walking round in Christian licorice clothes Lord, I can't hesitate Lord, no way I can't wait for pleasant street The pleasant street The sunshine reminds you of concreted skies You thought you were flying Till you opened up your eyes, honey And you found yourself falling Back down to yesterday's lies Hello, pleasant street, Lord we're back again You wheel, you steal, you feel, you kneel down Down, down, down, down, down, down, down All the stony people Walking round in Christian licorice clothes Lord, I can't hesitate Lord, no way I can't wait for pleasant street I love my little pleasant street At twilight your lover comes to your room He's gonna spin you darlin' He's gonna weave 'em all, all around his emerald loom But softly, he whisper all around your ear Sweet lover, Lord, I love my pleasant street Lord, I wheel and Lord, I steal and Lord, I feel My way down to kneel Down, down, down, down, down, down |

I saw you walking
Only yesterday When I ran to catch you You disappeared And the street was gray The candle died Now you are gone For the flame was too bright Now you are gone I heard you laughing With your laugh of gold When I called out to you Silence returned And the air was cold The castle fell Now you are gone And no more rings the bell Now you are gone I found a letter On the day it rained When I tore it open There in my hands Only ash remained The castle fell Now you are gone And no more rings the bell Now you are gone I felt you breathing As I fell asleep When I reached out to touch you No one was there And the night was deep The candle died Now you are gone For the flame was too bright Now you are gone I saw you walking Only yesterday When I ran to catch you You disappeared And the street was gray The castle fell Now you are gone No more rings the bell Now you are gone |

I lit my purest candle close to my
Window, hoping it would catch the eye Of any vagabond who passed it by, And I waited in my fleeting house Before he came I felt him drawing near; As he neared I felt the ancient fear That he had come to wound my door and jeer, And I waited in my fleeting house "Tell me stories," I called to the Hobo; "Stories of cold," I smiled at the Hobo; "Stories of old," I knelt to the Hobo; And he stood before my fleeting house "No," said the Hobo, "No more tales of time; Don't ask me now to wash away the grime; I can't come in 'cause it's too high a climb," And he walked away from my fleeting house "Then you be damned!" I screamed to the Hobo; "Leave me alone," I wept to the Hobo; "Turn into stone," I knelt to the Hobo; And he walked away from my fleeting house |

The antique people are down in the dungeons
Run by machines and afraid of the tax Their heads in the grave and their hands on their eyes Hauling their hearts around circular tracks Pretending forever their masquerade towers Are not really riddled with widening cracks And I wave goodbye to iron And smile hello to the air O the new children dance -- I am young All around the balloons -- I will live Swaying by chance -- I am strong To the breeze from the moon -- I can give Painting the sky -- You the strange With the colors of sun -- Seed of day Freely they fly -- Feel the change As all become one -- Know the Way The velocity addicts explode on the highways Ignoring the journey and moving so fast Their nerves fall apart and they gasp but can't breathe They run from the cops of the skeleton past Petrified by tradition in a nightmare they stagger Into nowhere at all and they look up aghast And I wave goodbye to speed And smile hello to a rose O the new children play -- I am young Under the juniper trees -- I will live Sky blue or gray -- I am strong They continue at ease -- I can give Moving so slow -- You the strange That serenely they can -- Seed of day Gracefully grow -- Feel the change And yes still understand -- Know the Way The king and the queen in their castle of billboards Sleepwalk down the hallways dragging behind All their possessions and transient treasures As they go to worship the electronic shrine On which is playing the late late commercial In that hollowest house of the opulent blind And I wave goodbye to Mammon And smile hello to a stream O the new children buy -- I am young All the world for a song -- I will live Without a dime -- I am strong To which they belong -- I can give Nobody owns -- You the strange Anything anywhere -- Seed of day Everyone's grown -- Feel the change Up so big they can share -- Know the Way The vaudeville generals cavort on the stage And shatter their audience with submachine guns And Freedom and Violence the acrobat clowns Do a balancing act on the graves of our sons While the tapdancing Emperor sings "War is peace" And Love the Magician disappears in the fun And I wave goodbye to murder And smile hello to the rain O the new children can't -- I am young Tell a foe from a friend -- I will live Quick to enchant -- I am strong And so glad to extend -- I can give Handfuls of dawn -- You the strange To kaleidoscope men -- Seed of day Come from beyond -- Feel the change The Great Wall of Skin -- Know the Way The bloodless husbands are jesters who listen Like sheep to the shrieks and commands of their wives And the men who aren't men leave the women alone See them all faking love on a bed made of knives Afraid to discover or trust in their bodies And in secret divorce they will never survive And I wave goodbye to ashes And smile hello to a girl O the new children kiss -- I am young They are so proud to learn -- I will live Womanwood bliss -- I am strong And the manfire that burns -- I can give Knowing no fear -- You the strange They take off their clothes -- Seed of day Honest and clear - Feel the change As a river that flows - Know the Way The antique people are fading out slowly Like newspapers flaming in mind suicide Godless and sexless directionless loons Their sham sandcastles dissolve in the tide They put on their deathmasks and compromise daily The new children will live for the elders have died And I wave goodbye to America And smile hello to the world |

Deep down in my heart I can't tell what it is But it won't let go It happens every time I give you more than what I have But now all I need is a little time to sing this song And I think we're gonna find a way to lose this strange feelin' All around I feel ya, darlin', feel ya darlin' When you're home all alone Oh, don't you need somebody to talk your troubles to Ah, lord I know I wanna catch the morning train, lord the first thing Oh, I wanna hear you say we're gonna take that strange feelin' Oh, take it all away Well it's just like a mockingbird a-singing on a hillside Churping at his morning song But don't you weep don't you fret don't you wail don't you moan Can't you hear that whiporwill a-callin? Now don't you worry Your daddy's comin' home He's gonna chase those blues away And believe me when I say We're gonna lose that strange feelin' all around all around... |

If a fiddler played you a song, my love
And if I gave you a wheel Would you spin for my heart and loneliness Would you spin for my love If I gave up all of my pride for you And only loved you for now Would you hide my fears and never say Tomorrow I must go Everywhere there's rain my love Everywhere there's fear If you tell me a lie I'll cry for you Tell me of sin and I'll laugh If you tell me of all the pain you've had I'll never smile again I can plainly see that our parts have hanged Our sands are shifting around Need I beg to you for one more day To find our lonely love |

Ooh, it's a happy time inside my mind
When a melody does find a rhyme And says to me, "I'm comin' home to stay I'm comin' home to stay, I'm comin' home to stay" Oh, now it's just the same old story Somethin' about love for glory A nickel and a dime, a dozen fame Oh, it's such a shame, the way they use your name Oh, but it's only mine to sing a song Hopin' that you'd cross along my way Before we have to move along Oh, now move along, oh, but we will get back again Oh, it's a happy time inside my mind When a melody does find a rhyme And says to me, "I'm comin' home to stay I'm comin' home to stay, I'm comin' home to stay" Oh, sleep late, my darling Let the mornin' sun warm your bed Sleep late, my darling Let the wind blow through your head Sleep late, my little girl |

I live by the river and I hide my house away
Then just like the river, I can change my ways Oh, if you come to love me, you'll stay forever Inside my heart, inside my dreams And time will fade, in time we'll love In the street we walk as beggars, in the alley, faithless kings Ah, but it's the truth of life that chains us in between Those lost moments we steal to keep our love alive And our prize, so tired after all the pain And time will fade, in time we'll love I live by the river and I hide my house away Then just like the river, I can change my ways Oh, if you come to love me, you'll stay forever Inside my heart, inside my dreams And time will fade, in time we'll love |

I had a talk with my woman late last night
And she reassured me everything was alright And time hung still like a falling rain Now I know at last that my love is safe Ah, but when I go away my love I leave Lord I'm but half a man, without her by my side She's this memory that I hold all around She's this dream that I always hold to believe I wanna go upon a mountain, oh, Lord And sing my love, and sing my love I wanna sing it high, sing it down low Then I'm gonna know how long it's gonna last Then I'm gonna know how long it's gonna last Well, you know your Moses, oh Lord he lost his way Ah, and Your Jesus don't remember the words Well, then I guess it's just you and me brother All alone in this cold world, all alone in this cold world Ah, you gotta go upon on mountain And learn to sing your love, learn to sing your love You know I can sing it high, sing it down low Then we gonna know how long it's gonna last Then we gonna know how long she's gonna last Hard rain, sweet rain, fall a little while longer Wash down the city skies, Lord bring the streets alive Make it like it was long before I was born You know I wanna walk around |

Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile 'Til your singing eyes and fingers Drew me loving to your isle And you sang Sail to me, sail to me Let me enfold you Here I am, here I am Waiting to hold you Did I dream you dreamed about me? Were you hare when I was fox? Now my foolish boat is leaning Broken lovelorn on your rocks For you sing 'Touch me not, touch me not Come back tomorrow Oh, my heart, oh, my heart Shies from the sorrow' I am as puzzled as the oyster I am as troubled at the tide Should I stand amid the breakers? Or should I lie with death my bride? Hear me sing 'Swim to me, swim to me Let me enfold you Oh, my heart, oh, my heart Is waiting to hold you' |

Under a loop of stars
In the vulgar cold The dead airport lay By the pebbles of the highway Through the snail clouds You soared to your lover I hurried away my darling With a howl in my throat Hiding inside the weeds In the orange grove The black rooster crowed Through the hollow of the midnight With my shot blood With stains on my fingers I run with the damned, my darling They have taught me to laugh To laugh, to laugh |

Now you wanna know the reason
Why I cheated on you Well I had to be a hunter again This little man had to try To make love feel new again 'cause there's just a few things honey I'm not old enough to do for you You just never care to show me Showed him how to tango And when they tangoed it'd send their hearts a flutter Young and tender Seemed to surrender in so sweet surrender In sweet surrender Ahh sweet surrender to love But now you're gonna go out and get yourself A reputation But I'm gonna have to show you where to start And then you're gonna bring back your little reputation And prove to me what I could not prove to you |
