Well I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again But that's not unusual It's just that the moon is full And you happened to call And here I sit Hand on the telephone Hearing a voice I'd known A couple of light years ago Heading straight for a fall As I remember your eyes Were bluer than robin's eggs My poetry was lousy you said Where are you calling from? A booth in the midwest Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks You brought me something We both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Well you burst on the scene Already a legend The unwashed phenomenon The original vagabond You strayed into my arms And there you stayed Temporarily lost at sea The Madonna was yours for free Yes the girl on the half-shell Would keep you unharmed Now I see you standing With brown leaves falling around And snow in your hair Now you're smiling out the window Of that crummy hotel Over Washington Square Our breath comes out white clouds Mingles and hangs in the air Speaking strictly for me We both could have died then and there Now you're telling me You're not nostalgic Then give me another word for it You who are so good with words And at keeping things vague Because I need some of that vagueness now It's all come back too clearly Yes I loved you dearly And if you're offering me diamonds and rust I've already paid |

Virgil Caine is my name, and I drove on the Danville train,
Til so much cavalry came and tore up the tracks again. In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive. I took the train to Richmond that fell, it was a time I remember, oh so well, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and all the bells were ringing, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and all the people were singin'. They went Na, Na, na, na, na, na, Na, na, na, na, na, na, Na, na Back with my wife in Tennessee, and one day she said to me, "Virgil, quick, come see, a-there goes Robert E. Lee!" Now I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good. Just take what ya need and leave the rest, But they should never have taken the very best. The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and all the bells were ringing, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and all the people were singin'. They went Na, Na, na, na, na, na, Na, na, na, na, na, na, Na, na Like my father before me, I'm a working man, And like my brother before me, I took a rebel stand. Well, he was just eighteen, proud and brave, But a Yankee laid him in his grave, I swear by the blood below my feet, You can't raise the Caine back up when its in defeat. The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and all the bells were ringing, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and all the people were singin'. They went Na, Na, na, na, na, na, Na, na, na, na, na, na, Na, na |

They sat together
In the park As the evening sky grew dark She looked at him He felt a spark tingle to his bones 'Twas then he felt alone And wished that he'd gone straight And watched out for a simple twist of fate They walked down by the old canal Got a little confused, I remember well And then they stopped In a strange hotel With the neon burning bright He felt the heat of night Hit him like a freight train And moving with a simple twist of fate Saxophone some place nearby played She was walking on by the arcade As a light burst through a beat up shade But he was waking up She dropped a coin into a cup Of a blind man at the gate And forgot about a simple twist of fate He woke up And the room was bare He didn't see her Anywhere He told himself He didn't care He pushed the window Open wide He felt an Emptiness inside To which he just could not relate Brought on by a simple twist of fate He hears the ticking of the clocks Small waves whisper to the rocks He hunts her down By the waterfront docks Where the sailors all come in Perhaps he'll see her once again How long must he wait Once more For a simple Twist of fate People tell me it's a crime To feel too much At any one time All it cost me was a dime But the bells refuse to ring He was born in the spring But I was born too late To blame it on A simple twist of fate |

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people living for today Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living in peace You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed nor hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one |

In the quiet morning
There was much despair And in the hours that followed No one could repair That poor girl Tossed by the tides of misfortune Barely here to tell her tale Rolled in on a sea of disaster Rolled out on a mainline rail She once walked tight at my side I'm sure she walked by you Her striding steps could not deny Torment from a child who knew That in the quiet morning There would be despair And in the hours that followed No one could repair That poor girl She cried out her song so loud It was heard the whole world round A symphony of violence The great southwest unbound La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La |

We may not always be the best of lovers
But if you leave it to me I think I can see We'll always be the best of friends And one day when I am old and on the porch With knittings around my knees you hear me say Excuse me please,but aren't you the one And wasn't it fun way back when Or maybe in a year you'll reappear And if that should come true I'd throw my arms around you and watch you smile Just for awhile once again We may not be the best of lovers But if you leave it to me I think I can see We'll always be the best of friends La la la The best of friends La la la |

Billy Rose was a low rider;
Billy Rose was a night figher Billy Rose knew trouble like the sound of his own name Busted on a drunken charge Drivin' someone else's car The local midnight sheriff's claim to fame In an Arizona jail there are some who tell the tale how Billy fought the sergeant for some milk that he demanded. Knowing they'd remain the boss Knowing he would pay the cost They saw he was severely reprimanded nIn the blackest cell on "A" Block he hanged himself at dawn With a note stuck to the bunk head Don't mess with me, just take me home. Come and lay, help us lay young Billy down. Luna was a Mexican the law called an alien For comin' 'cross the border with a baby and a wife Though the clothes upon his back were wet Still he thought that he could get Some money and things that make a life. It hadn't been too very long When it seemed like everything went wrong They didn't even have the time to find themselves a home This foreigner, a brown-skin male Thrown into a Texas jail It left the wife and baby quite alone. He eased the pain inside him with a needle in his arm But the dope just crucified him He died to no one's great alarm Come and lay, help us lay young Luna down And we're gonna raze, raze the prisons to the ground. Kilowatt was an aging con of 65 Who stood a chance to stay alive And leave the joint and walk the streets again As the time he was to leave drew near He suffered all the joy and fear Of leaving 35 years in the pen And on the day of his release He was approached by the police Who took him to the warden, walking slowly at his side The warden said "You won't remain here But ist seems a state retainer Claims another 10 years of your life." He stepped out in the Texas sunlight The cops all stood around Old Kilowatt ran 50 yards then threw himself down on the ground They might as well just have laid the old man down And we're gonna raze, raze the prisons to the ground Help us raze, raze the prisons tho the ground |

Jesse come home, there's a hole in the bed
Where we slept; now it's growing cold. Jesse your face, in the place where we lay By the hearth, all apart, it hangs on my heart And I'm leaving the light on the stairs No I'm not scared; I wait for you Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home. Jesse the stairs in the halls, recalling Your step; and I remember too. All the pictures are shaded and fading in grey And I still set a place on the table at noon And I'm leaving the light on the stairs No I'm not scared; I wait for you Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home. Jesse the spread on the bed, It's like when you left, I kept it for you. All the blues and the greens have been recently cleaned And are seemingly new; hey Jess, me and you. We'll swallow the light on the stairs I'll fix up my hair, we'll sleep unawares Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home |

Please Come To Boston
Written by - Dave Loggins Please come to Boston in the springtime I'm stayin' here with some friends and they've got lotsa room You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk By a cafe where I hope to be workin' soon Please come to Boston I said, 'No, would you come home to me?' And I said, 'Hey ramblin' boy now won't cha settle down? Boston ain't your kinda town There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me... I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee' Please come to Denver with the snowfall We'll move up into the mountains so far that we can't be found And throw 'I love you' echoes down the canyon And then lie awake at night till they come back around Please come to Denver I said, 'No, boy, would you come home to me?' And I said, 'Hey ramblin' boy why don't cha settle down? Denver ain't your kinda town There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me 'Cause I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee' Now this drifter's world goes 'round and 'round And I doubt that it's ever gonna stop But of all the dreams I've lost or found And all that I ain't got I still need a clean to Somebody I can sing to Please come to LA to live forever California life alone is just too hard to build I live in a house that looks out over the ocean And there's some stars that fell from the sky Livin' up on the hill Please come to LA But I just said, 'No, boy, won't you come home to me?' And I said, 'Hey ramblin' boy why don't cha settle down? LA can't be your kinda town There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me... No, no, I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee' 'I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee...' |

I nev-er dreamed you'd leave in sum-mer
I thought you would go then come back home I thought the cold would leave by sum-mer But my qui-et nights will be spent alone You said there would be warm love in spring-time That was when you start-ed to be cold I nev-er dreamed you'd leave in sum-mer But now I find my-self all alone You said then you'd be the life in au-tumn Said you'd be the one to see the way I nev-er dreamed you'd leave in sum-mer But now I find my love has gone away Why didn't you stay |

Red telephone sitting by my bed
Practically bore your name Lying alone in the twilight zone Waiting for your call to come in Hadn't been for the kid Who was sleeping upstairs You'd have found me well on my way On that midnight plane to L.A. You suffered sweeter for me Than anyone I've ever known I dared to look into the years Would you still have your wife? I dared to peer through my tears Could we ever have a life? Even thought I was pregnant by you But I didn't care I just talked to my son Would he mind another one? You suffered sweeter for me Than anyone I've ever known Once more the mist rolls to the sea Like a hundred times we've known Trees are faded and the clouds have stopped Where the wind had blown How I dread when the evening comes And I cannot be What you want me to be When you are next to me How silent you are as the veils come down Before my eyes Soft and reserved as you move away Donning your disguise While every folk song that I ever knew Once more comes true And loves grows old And waxes cold You suffered sweeter for me Than anyone I've ever known Just one favor of you, my love If I should die today Take me down to where the hills Meet the sea on a stormy day Ride a ridge on a snow white horse And throw my ashes away To the wind and the sand Where my song began You suffered sweeter for me Than anyone I've ever known |

How long since I've spent a whole
night in a twin bed with a stranger His warm arms all around me How long since I've gazed into dark eyes that melted my soul down to a place where it longed to be? All of your history has little to do with your face You're mainly a mystery with violins filling in space. You stood in the nude by the mirror and picked out a rose from the bouquet in our hotel And laid down beside me again, and I watched the rose on the pillow as it fell. I sank and I slept in a twilight with only one care - To know that when day broke and I woke that you'd still be there. The hours, for once, they passed slowly, unendingly by Like a sweet breeze on a field Your gentleness came down upon me And I guess I thanked you When you caused me to yield We spoke not a sentence And took not a footstep beyond our two days together which seemingly soon would be gone. Don't tell me of love everlasting - and other sad dreams - I don't want to hear. Just tell me of passionate strangers who rescue each other from a lifetime of cares. And if love means forever, expecting nothing returned, Then I hope I'll be given another whole lifetime to learn. 'cause I took from you oh so many things It makes me wonder how they could belong to me, And I gave you only my dark eyes which melted your soul down to a place where it longed to be - |

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me I once was lost but now I'm found, Was blind but now I see. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fear relieved How precious did that grace appear, The hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snares We have already come 'Twas grace that brought us safe thus far And grace will lead us home. When we've been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun We've no less days to sing god's praise Than when we first begun. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost but now I'm found, Was blind but now I see. |
