The reasons why, oh, I can say
I have to let you go, babe, and right away After what you did, I can't stay on And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone Baby, for a long time you had me believe That your love was all mine and that's the way it would be But I didn't know that you were putting me on And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone Oh, when you're gone Now I've got to say that it's not like before And I'm not going to play your games anymore After what you did, I can't stay on And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone Oh, when you're gone Oh, when you're gone Oh, when you're gone |

Far between sundown's finish and midnight's broken toll
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing As majestic bells of bolts, struck shadows in the sounds Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing Flashing for the warriors, whose strength is not to fight Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight And for each and every underdog soldier in the night And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing Even though a cloud's white curtain in a far off corner flashed And the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless seeking trail For the lonesome hearted lovers, with too personal a tale And for each unharmful gentle soul misplaced inside a jail And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing Starry-eyed and laughing, as I recall when we were caught Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended And we listened one last time, and we watched with one last look Spellbound and swallowed 'til the tolling ended Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed For the countless confused, accused, misused, srung-out ones and worse And for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing |

I was really good to her
But now she broke my heart She looked so young and she seemed so sweet But I was wrong from the start She has a way about her That makes her run around Now I wonder if she'll ever Want to settle down Oh oh, oh oh I waited so impatiently It didn't do my mind any good I never thought she would set me free I did all the things that I should Then all at once I would fold her 'Cause she could not be found Now I wonder if she'll ever Want to settle down Oh oh, oh oh I didn't think that I Would wait for her very long But I didn't realize My love for her was so strong She might be going from heart to heart She might be puttin' them down The way she took me all apart And made me the laugh of the town She has a way about her That makes her run around Now I wonder if she'll ever Want to settle down Oh oh |

Gypsy gal, the hands of Harlem
Cannot hold you to its heat Your temperature's too hot for taming Your flaming feet are burning up the street I am homeless, come and take me Into the reach of your rattling drums I got to know babe, all about my fortune Down along my restless palms Gypsy gal, you got me swallowed I have fallen far beneath Your pearly eyes so fast and slashing And your flashing diamond teeth The night is pitch black, come and make my Pale face fit in to place, ah, please! I gotta know babe, I'm nearly drowning If it's you, my lifelines trace I been wondering all about me Ever since I seen you there On the cliffs of your wildcat charms I'm riding I know I'm 'round you but I don't know where You have slayed me, you have made me I got to laugh halfways off my heels I got to know babe, will you surround me? So I can tell if I'm really real |

Sang the silver bells of Wye And what will you give me? Say the sad bells of Rhymney Oh what will you give me? Say the sad bells of Rhymney Is there hope for the future?

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast Yonder stands your orphan with his gun Crying like a fire in the sun Look out the saints are comin' through And it's all over now, baby blue The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense Take what you have gathered from coincidence The empty-handed painter from your streets Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets This sky, too, is folding under you And it's all over now, baby blue All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home All your reindeer armies, are all going home The lover who just walked out your door Has taken all his blankets from the floor The carpet, too, is moving under you And it's all over now, baby blue Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you The vagabond who's rapping at your door Is standing in the clothes that you once wore Strike another match, go start anew And it's all over now, baby blue |

Hallways and staircases everyday to climb
To go up to my white walled room out on the end of time Where I can be with my love for she is all that is mine And she'll always be there my love don't care about time I laugh with her cry with her hold her close she is mine The way she tells me of her love and never is she trying She don't have to be assured of many good things to find And she'll always be there my love don't care about time Her eyes are dark and deep with love her hair hangs long and fine She walks with ease and all she sees is never wrong or right And with her arms around me tight I see her all in my mind And she'll always be there my love don't care about time And she'll always be there my love don't care about time |

Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings No voice can hope to hum Sruck by the sounds before the sun I knew the night had gone The morning breeze like a bugle blew Against the drums of dawn Lay down your weary tune, lay down Lay down the song you strum And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings No voice can hope to hum The ocean wild like an organ played The seaweed wove its strands The crashin' waves like cymbals clashed Against the rocks and sands Lay down your weary tune, lay down Lay down the song you strum And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings No voice can hope to hum The last of leaves fell from the trees And clung to a new love's breast The branches bare like a banjo played To the winds that listened best Lay down your weary tune, lay down Lay down the song you strum And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings No voice can hope to hum |

Well, if you think she's everything you could want
And if you think she's everything that could be Well, I still think the world turns all around her And I still wish that she belonged to me I don't know how I ever could have thought that I'd let her go and still be just the same But I found out my world turned all around her And everywhere I go I hear her name Somewhere along the way, I don't know why I thought that I would want to let her go But now whenever I see her with you, I Realize how much I didn't know So if you tell her every day you love her And if you tell her everything she could be You'll find out that your world will turn around her You'll feel the same if you should set her free |

Come gather round people
Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone If your time to you is worth savin' Then you better start swimming Or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a changin Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen Keep your eyes open The chance won't come again Watch what you say For the wheel's still in spin And there ain't tellin' who that it's naming For the loser now Will be later to win For the times they are a changin Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway Don't block up the hall For he who gets hurt Will be he who has stalled The battle outside raging It'll rattle your windows and shake down your walls For the times they are a changin Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don't criticise What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is rapidly aging Get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand For the times they are a changin |

Eight miles high
And when you touch down You'll find that it's stranger than known Signs in the street That say where you're going Are somewhere just being their own Nowhere is There warmth to be found Among those afraid of losing their ground Rain-gray town Known for its sound In places, small faces unbound Round the squares Huddled in storms Some laughing, some just shapeless forms Sidewalk scenes And black limousines Some living, some standing alone |

Keep sayin' no to her since she was a baby
Keep sayin' no to her, not even maybe Why? Why? You say there's a limit there, she can't go past that She don't believe you, she don't think that's where it's at Why? Why? You say she can't change that, it's the way you've always done it She don't care about that, she thinks you've just begun it Why? Why? You say it's a dead old world, dull and unforgiving I don't know where you live, but you're not living Why? Why? Keep sayin' no to her since she was a baby Keep sayin' no to her, not even maybe Why?

Fair young maid all in her garden
Strange young man came riding by Saying, "Fair young maid, will you marry me?" This then, sir, was her reply "Oh, no, kind sir, I cannot marry thee For I've a love who sails the deep salt sea Though he's been gone these seven years Still no man shall marry me" "What if he's died, all in some battle slain? Or if he's drownded in the deep salt sea? What if he's found some other love He and his love both married be?" "If he's found some other love He and his new love both married be I wish them health and happiness Where they now dwell far across the sea" He picked her up all in his arms And kisses gave her one, two, and three Saying, "Weep no more, my own true love I am your long-lost John Riley" Saying, "Weep no more, my own true love For I'm your long-lost John Riley" |

Will her eyes reflect The colors in the sky Or one familiar place To be swept into Whenever she's close by Makes me wonder why Run by, don't turn back Can't hide from that look in her eye Must be the way she walks A style made up to capture all she needs No time to spend on loose talk If your luck runs right She might see you tonight Anything in sight Run by, don't turn back Can't hide from that look in her eye Run by, don't turn back Can't hide from that look in her eye You'll find you're locked in her spell All the sights and sounds Your senses will be found And only time will tell How much love can be To wait so patiently Wait and see Run by, don't turn back Can't hide from that look in her eye |

Crimson flames tied through my years
Flowing high and mighty trapped Countless fire and flaming roads Using ideas as my maps We'll meet on edges soon, said I Proud 'neath heated brow Ah, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth Rip down all hate, I screamed Lies that life is black and white Spoke from my skull, I dreamed Romantic flanks of musketeers Foundationed deep, somehow Ah, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now In a soldier's stance I aimed my hand At the mongrel dogs who teach Fearing not I'd become my enemy In the instant that I preach Sisters fled by confusion boats Mutiny from stern to bow Ah, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now Ah, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now My guard stood hard when abstract threats Too noble to neglect Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect Good and bad, I define these terms Quite clear, no doubt, somehow Ah, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now |

One day she came along, I didn´t know her name
My friends said to me watch out for the game I didn´t want to believe all the things they said It seemed to be the right time a love afffair instead Walkin´ down the beach, kickin´ up the sand Not so far away wonderin´ where they´ll land We talked of things to do and places that we´d tame A one with a love to share with a girl who had no name who had no name Then it came the time they said when all the good went bad She walked into the night, it didn´t make me sad I felt my friends´ advice echo through my soul A one with a love to share with a girl who had no name who had no name |

Here it comes again,
It's going to happen to me. Here it comes, I should have learned to duck. She's going to say, She's going away. And I will have to live without her and survive Here it comes, It looks just like the last wave I drowned in. Here it comes, And I'm so far from shore. She's going to go, And take her trinkets. And I will have to live without her and survive Here it comes again, The night is going to fall. Here it comes, She's going to say good-bye. She's going to go, And leave only me. And I will have to live without her and survive. |

Old John Robertson he wore a Stetson hat
People everywhere would laugh behind his back No one cared to take any time to find out What he was all about, fear kept them out Children laughed and played and didn't know his name They could tell when he was coming just the same Walking slow with old John's crippled wife by his side Then she sighed, then she died Magic words from him would charm some children's ears But they laughed at him when he hid behind his tears All in vain was no game for he'd lost an old friend In the end, in the end...

I think I'm goin' back
To the things I learned so well in my youth I think I'm returning to Those days when I was young enough to know the truth Now there are no games To only pass the time No more electric trains No more trees to climb But thinking young and growing older is no sin And I can play the game of life to win I can recall a time When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend Now I think I've got A lot more than just my toys to lend Now there's more to do Than watch my sailboat glide But every day can be A magic carpet ride A little bit of courage is all we lack So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back La la la la la, etc. Now there's more to do Than watch my sailboat glide But every day can be A magic carpet ride A little bit of courage is all we lack So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back La la la la, etc. |

Oh I'd rather go and journey
Where the diamond crescent's glowing And run across the valley Beneath the sacred mountain And wander through the forest Where the trees have leaves of prisms And break the light in colors That no-one knows the names of And when it's time I'll go and wait Beside a legendary fountain Till I see your form reflected In its clear and jeweled waters And if you think I'm ready You may lead me to the chasm Where the rivers of our vision Flow into one another I will watch her dive beneath The white cascading waters She may beg she may plead She may argue with her logic And then mention all the things I'll lose That really have no value In the end she will surely know I wasn't born to follow |

Floating free from all fear Every day blowin' spray, In a dolphin's smile Wind-taut line split the sky, Curlin' crest rollin' by Floating free aimlessly, In a dolphin's smile Rainbow's end everywhere, Full of light, free as air Childhood's dream, Have you ever seen a dolphin's smile |

I look down and I see this red thing below us Comin' up real fast, and it's our reflection in a little pool of water About six feet wide and one foot deep Crawling down right through it We hit, and we splashed it dry That's when I lost my hold and she got away But I'm gonna' try to get her again some day I'm gonna catch that horse if I can And when I do I'll give her my brand And we'll be friends for life She'll be just like a wife I'm gonna' catch that horse I'm gonna' catch that horse I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can |

Tailights flickerin', as he pulled up to a truckstop
The same old crowd was hangin' out again tonight He said, "Fill up my tank while I go check my load It feels like it's shifting all around" He was the kind of man, do all he could Above all he had integrity But he was so young And on a ten city run In love with a truck stop girl As he went inside, he was merrily greeted By the girl with whom he was in love She held out a glass and said, "Have another This is the last time we can meet" With her hair piled up high and a look in her eye That would turn any good man's blood to wine All his eyes could see, well all his eyes could see Was the stare from all those around him He ran out to the lot, and climbed into his rig And drove off without tightening down It was a terrilble thing, to see what remained Of the rig that poor Danny was in And he was so young and on a ten city run In love with a truck stop girl But he was so young, and on a ten city run In love with a truck stop girl |

She was sitting in my kitchen with a face I can't forget She was looking my direction and calling with her eyes I was trying to do an interview and telling them all lies Last year in the summer with a tiffany lamp over her head They were asking what I thought about the 50's rock n roll Then they got into their limousine and fell into a hole I moved into the kitchen and I quickly fell in love The warden came along and asked me what I was thinking of Last year in the summer with a tiffany lamp over her head Well I grabbed her by the hand and with a few things I could The warden said "You're leaving, well, you better leave for good!" I made it to Tasmania to buy a devil dog We were met by a young handsome prince, who turned into a frog Last year in the summer with a tiffany lamp over her head Now we're living out in Malibu the ocean by our side Laying in the sunshine drifting with the tide But happiness had hit me on the first day that we met She was sitting in my kitchen with a face I can't forget Last year in the summer with a tiffany lamp over her head Over her head |

Back when Cattle Creek used to sing
its waters were sweet and its banks were green and sunny days went on forever Me and old Bugler, we'd run wild bluetick hound and redneck child we thought we were, birds of a feather Ah the fish would bite, my how they'd bite we'd catch them possoms in the pale moonlight for Ma, just to please her Bugler's voice like Gabriel's horn up in the cypress, all down through the corn golden sounds, yes to treasure Bugler, Bugler, bless your hide Jesus gonna take you for a chariot ride Say Goodbye, Say Goodbye One day Ma she brought the news She said "Honey, young Bugler's done paid his dues he's been hit down, yes on that highway" Dry your eyes and stand up straight Bugler's got a place at the pearly gates Say goodbye sugar, Oh say goodbye Bugler, Bugler, bless your hide Jesus gonna take you for a chariot ride Say Goodbye, Say Goodbye |

When I was young I'd go down by the river
Just about a mile from my home A million miles from everyone My eyes could see your water My ears could hear your song Oh to be wise again Get back to your lazy waters Never needed anyone but you Oh little boys are strange, No one knows they have magic I kept it in my pocket Concealed from everyone But I climbed the highest tree To sing a bird my song Oh to be wise again Get back to your lazy waters Never needed anyone but you We moved to the city I said I wouldn't mind Thought you'd stay inside me It's easy when your young But as we rode away I knew you were gone Oh to be wise again Get back to your lazy waters Never needed anyone but you |

Tempted and tried we're oft' made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long While there are others living about us Never molested, though in the wrong Farther along we'll know more about it Farther along we'll understand why Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine We'll understand it all by and by When death has come and taken our loved ones Leaving our home so lonely and drear Then do we wonder how others prosper Living so wicked year after year Farther along we'll know more about it Farther along we'll understand why Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine We'll understand it all by and by |

To everything (Turn! Turn! Turn!)
There is a season (Turn! Turn! Turn!) And a time to every purpose under heaven A time to be born, a time to die A time to plant, a time to reap A time to kill, a time to heal A time to laugh, a time to weep To everything (Turn! Turn! Turn!) There is a season (Turn! Turn! Turn!) And a time to every purpose under heaven A time to build up, a time to break down A time to dance, a time to mourn A time to cast away stones A time to gather stones together To everything (Turn! Turn! Turn!) There is a season (Turn! Turn! Turn!) And a time to every purpose under heaven A time of love, a time of hate A time of war, a time of peace A time you may embrace A time to refrain from embracing To everything (Turn! Turn! Turn!) There is a season (Turn! Turn! Turn!) And a time to every purpose under heaven A time to gain, a time to lose A time to rend, a time to sew A time for love, a time for hate A time for peace, I swear it's not too late |

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm goin' to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning, I'll come followin' you Take me for a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship All my senses have been stripped And my hands can't feel to grip And my toes too numb to step Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin' I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade Unto my own parade Cast your dancing spell my way I promise to go under it Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm goin' to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you |

He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine His killing had no purpose No reason, or rhyme He was a friend of mine He was in Dallas town He was in Dallas town Form a sixth floor window A gunner shot him down He died in Dallas town He never knew my name He never knew my name Though I never met him I knew him just the same Oh, he was a friend of mine |

Trails of troubles
Roads of battles Paths of victory I shall walk The trail is dusty And my road it might be rough But the better roads are waiting And boys it ain't far off Trails of troubles. I walked down by the river I turned my head up high I saw that silver linin' That was hangin' in the sky Trails of troubles The evenin' dusk was rollin' I was walking down the track There was a one-way wind a-blowin' And it was blowin' at my back Trails of troubles The gravel road is bumpy It's a hard road to ride But there's a clearer road a-waitin' With the cinders on the side Trails of troubles That evening train was rollin' The hummin' of its wheels My eyes they saw a better day As I looked across the fields Trails of troubles. The trail is dusty The road it might be rough But the good road is a-waitin' And boys it ain't far off Trails of troubles |

From a distance the world looks blue and green
And the snow-capped mountains white From a distance the ocean meets the stream And the eagle takes to flight From a distance there is harmony And it echoes through the land It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace It's the voice of every man From a distance we all have enough And no one is in need There are no guns, no bombs, no diseases No hungry mouths to feed From a distance we are instruments Marching in a common band Playing songs of home, playing songs of peace They're the songs of every man God is watching us, God is watching us God is watching us from a distance From a distance you look like my friend Even though we are at war From a distance I can't comprehend What all this war is for From a distance there is harmony And it echoes through the land It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves It's the heart of every man It's the hope of hopes, It's the love of loves It's the song of every man |

Something happens to me every time that we touch
Sometimes I'm worried cause I think I might love you too much Yeah I know what your Mama says and maybe she's right But can't you feel what my heart is saying tonight For a woman like you life's an opening door You're the beautiful girl that we're all looking for Yeah you can have anything, anything that you want But baby what we've already got can never be bought If your love is a timeless flight Well you know that's alright Cause we're gonna take our time loving tonight I'm gonna hold you right here in my arms as the limousine takes us away And we'll dream about the music of some brighter day Throw a dime to the tambourine man and kiss all the horses goodbye And believe in the spirit of a love that never dies |
