Because he called, the forest brother
Because he called, the earth his mother They drove him out.... into the rain And some people even said That the boy from the country was insane Because he spoke.... with fish in the creek He tried to tell us, that the animals could speak And who knows, perhaps they do How do you know they don't Just because they've never spoken to you Boy from the country Left his home when he was young Boy from the country He loves the sun He tried to tell us, that we should love the land We just turned our heads and laughed You see we did not understand Sometimes I think the boy from the country Is the only one who sees Because the boy from the country Doesn't want to see the forest for the trees Boy from the country Left his home when he was young Boy from the country He loves the sun |

She comes down yellow mountain on a dark flat land she rides On a pony she named Wildfire With a whirlwind by her side On a cold and drafty night Oh they say she died one winter When there came a chilling frost And the pony she named Wildfire Busted down his stall In a blizzard he was lost She ran calling Wildfire (3 times) By the dark of the moon I planted But there came an early snow There's been a hoot owl howling outside my window now For six nights in a row She's coming for me I know And on Wildfire we're both gonna go We'll be riding Wildfire (3 times) On Wildfire we're going to ride her Gonna leave it all behind Yes she's always shining right out of my mind Riding Wildfire |

She came to me, said she knew me
Said she'd known me a long time And she spoke of being in love With every mountain she had climbed And she talked of trails she'd walked up Far above the timberline From that night on I knew I'd write songs With Carolina in the pines There's a new moon on the fourteenth First Quarter the 21st And the full moon in the last week Brings a fullness to this earth There's no guesswork in the clockwork On the worlds part or mine There are nights I only feel right With Carolina in the pines When the frost shows on the windows And the wood stove smokes and glows As the fire grows we can warm our souls Watching rainbows in the cove And well talk of trails weve walked up Far above the timberline There are nights I only feel right With Carolina in the pines |

As the rain ruins my alibi
I'm down to tellin' you my red-eyed mind It's not the sun bright path That called me from my home It's just that fine Backslider's wine My momma sings out in my memory Son, don't take that black eyed shine Fight for your rights But, just don't fight for right It will escape the purest mind But I took myself for a strong and loving soul 'Til I found myself on the bar room floor Crying God what will they do with me I cannot drink Backslider's wine no more My momma sings out in my memory Oh Son, don't take that black eyed shine Fight for your rights But, just don't fight for right And do not drink Backslider's wine Do not drink... Backslider's wine.... |

Take it as it comes
Just an actor waiting for a new play Take it as it comes Ask me to dance, I will dance for you Ask me to sing, and see what I do If you feel sad, I'll make jokes for you I'm a handyman, I'm still coming through If you suffer from a broken heart Take it as it comes If your lover tears your world all apart Take it as it comes I've played a king and a down and and out fool Some like it hot, some like it cool Do what they want, but don't be their tool Savor the throne, don't mind the stool Carry on, carry on, carry on ... If they go too far, that's the way things are Though it may hurt some, take it as it comes We're all skating on the thinnest of ice Got to take it as it comes In a world that is not so very nice Got to take it as it comes Any day now the curtain may fall All the plays end, there's no curtain call If you live sad, or if you walk tall We're written on a wind that's a lot to haul Carry on, carry on, carry on ... If they go too far, that's the way things are Though your mind gets numb, take it as it comes We're all skating on the thinnest of ice Got to take it as it comes In a world that is not so very nice Got to take it as it comes Any day now the curtain may fall All the plays end, there's no curtain call If you live sad, or if you walk tall We're written on a wind that's a lot to haul Carry on, carry on, carry on ... If they go too far, that's the way things are If they break your thumbs, take it as it comes |

I've been looking at people
And how they change with the times And lately all I've been seeing are people Throwing love away and losing their minds Maybe it's me who's gone crazy But I can't understand why All these lovers keep hurting each other When good love is so hard to come by So what's the glory in living Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore And if love never lasts forever Tell me what's forever for And I see love hungry people Tryin' their best to survive When right there in their hands Is a dying romance And they're not even trying to keep it alive So, what's the glory in living Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore And if love never lasts forever Tell me what's forever for So what's the glory in living Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore And if love never lasts forever Tell me what's forever for |

I was your hero, strong and fearless in your eyes
You were softer than the summer sky Young lovers we were so unwise But time is a teacher and this time I've hurt you so Left you crying but don't you let go There's so much the years have left to show Don't count the rainy days They blow hard and then they're gone Don't throw our love away, away, away In the dark before the dawn You've got to hold on To all the dreams we've made Remember those beautiful nights And don't count the rainy days You know I'm a dreamer; I get lost inside a world of my own And sometimes I'm made of stone But I never meant to leave you alone So I want to tell you, I know at times I didn't try When you needed me I'd run and hide Oh, but now I'm standing by your side Don't count the rainy days They blow hard and then they're gone Don't throw our love away, away, away In the dark before the dawn You've got to hold on To all the dreams we've made Remember those beautiful nights And don't count the rainy days Remember those beautiful nights And don't count the rainy days Don't count the rainy days They blow hard and then they're gone Don't throw our love away, away, away In the dark before the dawn You've got to hold on To all the dreams we've made |

She hasn't had time to learn about this world
She takes each day the way it comes And she can get sad but she's just a little girl She doesn't ask much from anyone But what she wants is you and me Love at home like it used to be And what she wants is what we were The way we loved when we had her She's only a child but all the tears are real She may wish they didn't show She hasn't got words to tell us how it feels She tries so hard to let us know That what she wants is you and me Love at home like it used to be And what she wants is what we were The way we loved when we had her You may think it's not enough That she wants us back in love And I won't beg and I won't plead But what she wants is what I need What she wants is you and me Love at home like it used to be And what she wants is what we were The way we loved when we had her The way we loved when we had her |
