There's an omen in the sky today Keep on, keep on sailin' I could always say I told you so Though I know you didn't try. There's a spirit in the wind today Keep on, keep on sailin' Brother, can you feel Deja vu goin' on through your bones ? I know the number You can't make it on your own And I saw the thunder It fell down on the way home. There's a Carolina moon today Keep on, keep on sailin' More the reason be your fadin' now But you'll be back again someday. There's an omen in the sky today Keep on, keep on sailin' I could always say I told you so Though I know you didn't try. |

Same old man workin' at the mill Mill turns around of its own free will Hand in the hopper and the other in a sack Ladies step forward and the gents fall back. 'Down' - said the owl, his head all white 'Lonesome day and a lonesome night' 'Thought I heard a pretty girl say' 'Work all night and sleep next day'. Same old man workin' at the mill Mill turns around of its own free will Hand in the hopper and the other in a sack Ladies step forward and the gents fall back. 'My' - said raven as she flew 'If I was a young man, I'd have two' 'One for to watch and the other for to sew' 'I'd have a little string for my bow, bow, bow'. Same old man workin' at the mill Mill turns around of its own free will Hand in the hopper and the other in a sack Ladies step forward and the gents fall back. My old man's in Kalamazoo He don't wear no 'yes I do' First to the left and then to the right This old mill grinds day and night. Same old man workin' at the mill Mill turns around of its own free will Hand in the hopper and the other in a sack Ladies step forward and the gents fall back. |

Thompson
If you've handed me one You've handed me a thousand shady lies If I needed someone I found someone to cut me down to size With every word you say I'm learnin' every day And you keep handin' me These shady, shady lies. Don't you want me to be Someone you can lean on when you're down ? Don't you want me to be Waitin' when you turn your head around ? I think I must be mad I think that I've been had 'Cause you keep handin' me These shady, shady lies You're hidin' your smile for the last time Don't mention my name when I'm gone If you've handed me one You've handed me a thousand shady lies. Don't you want me to be Someone you can lean on when you're down ? Don't you want me to be Waitin' when you turn your head around ? |

Well I've been out walkin' I don't do that much talkin' These days, these days These days I seem to think a lot About the things that I forgot to do And all the times I've had the chance to. And I've stopped my ramblin' Now I don't do that much gamblin' These days, these days These days I seem to think about How all these changes came about my way And I wonder if I'll see another highway. And I had a lover But it's so hard to risk another These days, these days And if I seem to be afraid To live the life that I have made in song Well it's just that I've been losin' for so long. So I'll stop my dreamin' And I don't do that much schemin' These days, these days These days I sit on cornerstones And count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend Please don't comfront me with my failures For I have not forgotten them. |

Been a man that's been around, I been around a long time I've seen a lot of people go, I've seen a lot of your kind If you want to run around and you're out on your own 'Cause I know what I'm doin' now, leavin' alone. Once I had a southern girl in mind for my wife At a time of innocence, at a time in my life But I know that what I'm sayin' now was a long time ago I lost touch with my southern girl, I'm leavin' alone. Starting here, you're gonna be second to none Don't see why I got to be leavin' alone. Caroline she came to me right out of the blue Sittin' in a coffee house, coming down from the show She told me how I had a charm all of my own Caroline, get away from here, I'm leavin' alone. |

Where's the point in us bringin' the doctor in here ? Where's the sense in you holdin' my arm ? Where's the smile when my funny irregular scene works the charm ? Where's the end if we can't find a place to begin ? Where's the money ? I've done what you said Where's the need for my face in this Albion race up ahead ? Take your mind off the life we've been tearin' apart Take the weight off your feet, take a few Take your time to align all the factors in favour of you Take the summer's gone by and get used to it Take the safest conclusion you find Take a look on my face in this Albion race of a kind. Save a thought for the secret we had Now it's gone and there's nothin' to say, say goodbye Why not save yourself time and We'll cancel the truth with a lie. Save the thought for the soul waitin' next in line Save your sorrows, there's interest assured Save the time and the place and whole human race. |

I've known for a long time the kind of girl you are Of a smile that covers teardrops, the way your head yields to your heart Of things you've kept inside that most girls couldn't bear I've known you for a long time but I've just begun to care. I've known of all the heartaches and I've known of all the pain And I've seen you when the sun shines and I've seen you when it rains I've seen you make a look of love from just an icy stare I've known you for a long time but I've just begun to care. I know I've been blind to not have loved you all this time But the image of you was not clear, I guess I was standin' too near. It's taken me a while now but I've finally found Just what you are to me and that's what really counts 'Cause what you are to me is something we can share I've known you for a long time but I've just begun to care. I've known of all the heartaches and I've known of all the pain And I've seen you when the sun shines and I've seen you when it rains I've seen you make a look of love from just an icy stare I've known you for a long time but I've just begun to care. |

It's been a blue blue day, I feel like runnin' away I feel like runnin' away from it all My woman's been untrue She's gone and found somebody new It's been a blue blue day for me. I feel like cryin', sighin', what can I do ? I feel like prayin', sayin', I'm glad we're through. It's been a blue blue day, I feel like runnin' away I feel like runnin' away from it all My woman's been untrue She's gone and found somebody new It's been a blue blue day for me. I feel like cryin', sighin', what can I do ? I feel like prayin', sayin', I'm glad we're through. It's been a blue blue day, I feel like runnin' away I feel like runnin' away from the blues I feel like runnin' away from the blues. |

Well my time went so quickly I went lickety splitly Out to my ol' '55 As I pulled away slowly And feeling so holy God knows I was feeling alive. Now the sun's coming up I'm ridin' with Lady Luck Freeway cars and trucks Stars beginning to fade And I lead the parade Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer Oh Lord, the feeling's getting stronger. Well it's six in the morning She gave me no warnin' I had to be on my way Now there's trucks all a-passin' me And lights all a-flashin' I'm on my way home from your place. Now the sun's coming up I'm ridin' with Lady Luck Freeway cars and trucks Stars beginning to fade And I lead the parade Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer Oh Lord, the feeling's getting stronger. Now the sun's coming up And I'm ridin' with Lady Luck Freeway cars and trucks Freeway cars and trucks. Now the sun's coming up And I'm ridin' with Lady Luck Freeway cars and trucks Freeway cars and trucks. |

I can tell by your eyes you've probably been cryin' forever And the stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror. And I don't wanna talk about it, how you broke my heart If I stay here just a little bit longer If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, oh my heart ? If I stand all alone, can the shadow hide the colour of my dreams ? Blue the tears, black the nights we're apart And the stars don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror. And I don't wanna talk about it, how you broke my heart If I stay here just a little bit longer If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, oh my heart ? And I don't wanna talk about it, how you broke my heart If I stay here just a little bit longer If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, oh my heart ? Oh my heart. I can tell by your eyes you've probably been cryin' forever. |

I stopped a while this morning on my way back home I had to realize this time that I'd be all alone Oh she's moving somewhere, far away not slow You know I tried so hard to please her She said she really had to go. And even though this time, it really hurts me bad I've been through similarities, it's not the worst break I've had And I just can't let it bring me down this low You know I tried so hard to please her There must be something more to know. I never thought that we would find our end this way It seemed like everything was going fine But still with all the things that I could do or say It won't change the fate, I know so well is mine. And so I stop again and look right past the plain You know I've been in love before and I can love again But I just can't let it bring me down this low You know I tried so hard to please her There must be something more to know. I stopped a while this morning on my way back home I had to realize this time that I'd be all alone Oh she's moving somewhere, far away not slow You know I tried so hard to please her She said she really had to go. |

Times are hard, you're afraid to pay the fee So you find yourself somebody who can do the job for free When you need a little loving 'cause your man is out of town That's the time you get me running and you know I'll be around. And I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah And I don't wanna do your dirty work no more I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah, yeah. Light the candle, put the lock upon the door You have sent the maid home early, like so many times before Like the castle and his corner in some medieval game I foresee terrible troubles and I stay here just the same. And I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah And I don't wanna do your dirty work no more I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah, yeah. And I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah And I don't wanna do your dirty work no more And I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah And I don't wanna do your dirty work no more And I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah And I don't wanna do your dirty work no more. |

Just another morning as the day flew by I thought I saw tomorrow, thought I heard it cry Guess I'm just reflecting off this cloudy sky And it's time that I went home. Everybody tellin' me I'm almost done Think I'm runnin' dry, then there's another one Still I can't turn backwards, now I'm on the run And it's time that I went home. It's a reasonable slip to forget yourself at all Only to find your face against the wall. Rushing, I'm not rushing, I know where to go Look about an hustle with the steady flow Maybe that's the reason I'm a one man show And it's time that I went home. Brothers, I've got brothers, maybe three or four And I could be there with them, it's a brothers war But I'm the one who left and said he wanted more And I wish I'd gone back home. |

Down around Biloxi, pretty girls are swimming in the sea Oh they look like sisters in the ocean The boy will fill his pail with salted water And the storms will blow from off toward New Orleans. The sun shines on Biloxi, the air is filled with vapors from the sea The boy will dig a pool beside the ocean He sees creatures from a dream on the water And the sun will set from off toward New Orleans. Stars can see Biloxi, stars can find their faces in the sea We are walking in the evening by the ocean We are splashing naked in the water And the sky is red from off toward New Orleans. |

Way out there, through windows on storms She comes to bear It's been years now when she comes along And I'm not there Oh how will she fare ? Oh how will she fare ? People and places, they're all in my head And the sailboat ride Ripples across the water are fed And we both survived Oh my, the pride Oh my .. The pride of love is in you now And so deep down inside And words are flying from you now And you tried, you tried and tried and tried. Way out there, through windows on storms She comes to bear It's been years now when she comes along And I'm not there Oh how will she fare ? Oh how will she fare ? |
