from The Byrds - Turn Turn Turn (1965)
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. |

Dressed in country cloth and sitting on the floor
Warmed by antique sun amid the green timber Held together by uncertainty, climb the Babel tower Looking up instead of down, we need room to gamble Sunday morning exercises started stand alone Filling in the vacant spaces with the dreams of truth Intimitations slowly sinking in, see the dreams we dreamed Looking up instead of down still a-hiding Absolute happiness unties the ropes that bind Greatness and unity shines within the mind Shines within the mind So long ago I promised to conscience and easily wrote a code So the Lord and I'll soon be back together again Men'll always be equal times a bad connection Looking up instead of down only good prevails Absolute happiness unties the ropes that bind Greatness and unity shines within the mind Shines within the mind |

Antique Sandy lived in the woods
And she'd go to the stream when the weather was good She'd take down the washin' for her old man to wear And she tried not to get eaten by the bear She'd fly to the market in her worn out old balloon That she traded with the flyer for an antique silver spoon And when she got home she'd cook upon the wooden stove And she'd go to sleep and listen to the whispers of the grove At night she dreamed of places where she lived when she was young Where the corn strip stretched for miles like a giant serpent's tongue Electric lights and phone bells and every light insane (?) Like a hundred thousand hungry miles meeting at her brain I greet her in the morning when she wakes up in my arms And I tell her that I love her and I'll keep her free from harm I hold her close she matters she is all the world to me Cause she's my Antique Sandy and she's in love with me |

Floating I'm floating on down through the sky
Never had no ambition to learn how to fly I'll be glad when it's over and ready to land With this bag full of money I've got in my hand Oh I grew up believing in Jesse and Frank Cause I never had nothin' or no one to thank And I came pretty close to unloadin' a bank But I was saved by my draft board who made me a yank Floating I'm floating... And in the 101st they busted your hump But they taught me a man isn't always a chump In the course of Korea I learned how to jump In the card game of life I was holding a trump Floating I'm floating... If you can't get a job and they think you're insane If the years of your youth have been washed down the drain And you wake up some mornin' with nothin' but pain It was then I decided to grab me a plane Floating I'm floating... With all of my training it wasn't too tough Now I'm through taking orders and all of their guff Gonna buy a Rolls Royce and some luxury stuff Cause a veteran's pension ain't nearly enough Floating I'm floating... |

Spoke to my girl on the phone today She said she wish I'd come there right away In Boston, Massachusetts where she lives I got to get there, oh the love she gives Catch a plane and soon I will be gone And I'll be in her arms before too long In Boston, Massachusetts she'll be there And we'll be together everywhere See I'm leaving cause I'm sad Got a girl and I want to see her bad You see I'm not leaving cause of you I just can't stand to sit here feeling blue Can't go on when I don't like this town I feel so bad not having her around In Boston, Massachusetts where she lives Got to get there, oh the love she gives |

Just as everything's going fine
Lose my grip and slide Bounce the rock and and catch the ball bound to fall Fall stumble or toe the line See my face and hide Catch the tears I've cried From reality it seems I've strayed Tired of all the silly games I play Da da da da From reality it seems I've strayed Tired of all the silly games I play Just as everything's going fine See my life in rhyme Hear my hand slip from the wall bound to fall Fall, stumble and reaching blind Oh, how hard I've tried Possibly I've died |

from The Byrds - Farther Along (1971)
Back when Cattle Creek used to sing it's 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 the 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 pail 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 CHORUS 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 REPEAT CHORUS |

C.T.A. 102 year
Over year receiving you Signals tell us that you're there We can hear them loud and clear We just want to let you know That we're ready for to go Out into the universe, We don't care who's been there first On a radio telescope Science tells us that there's hope Life on other planets might exist! ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By R.

Drifted in school, Daddy's a fool We know someone's on your mind Women whose phase??(face?), velvet and lace Curling couplets into time and space Meet the man who needs you now Can you give your love away like Candy? Down on your knees, trimming the trees Can you imagine what it's like Lovers lament, general dissent Doctor's orders are unkind, and bent Meet the man who needs you now Can you give your love away like Candy? Very profound, merry-go-round Spinning innocence and dreams Can you believe, all you perceive Love is never what it seemed to be Meet the man who needs you now Can you give your love away like Candy? |

Change is now, change is now
Things that seemed to be solid are not All is now, all is now The time that we have to live Gather all that we can Keep in harmony with love's sweet plan Truth is real, truth is real That which is not real does not exist In and out roundabout Dance to the day when fear it is gone Gather all that we can Keep in harmony with love's sweet plan Change is now, change is now Things that seemed to be solid are not In and out roundabout Dance to the day when fear it is gone Fear it is gone Fear it is gone |

You can tell a changin' heart
Two faces smile and yet there is no joy They look for wealth no matter what the cost To someone else that they might just destroy So many people gather round A thousand voices lift their praise For you have reached the top And so begin you've only got But when you're singing from the soul They fail to see your final goal They only tell you that you haven't All ways left to go So you rhyme the changin' line With one wheel spinning and one on the ground Then falling victim to the game of time You place your name out in the lost and the found So many people gather round A thousand voices lift their praise For you have reached the top And so begin you've only got But when you're singing from the soul They fail to see your final goal They only tell you that you haven't All ways left to go Instrumental (Harmonica) So many people gather round A thousand voices lift their praise For you have reached the top And so begin you've only got But when you're singing from the soul They fail to see your final goal They only tell you that you haven't All ways left to go |

Always alone, never with a herd
Prettiest mare I've ever seen You'll have to take my word I'm gonna catch that horse if I can And when I do I'll give her my brand Well, I was up on the Stony Ridge after this chestnut mare I'd been chasin' her for weeks Oh, I'd catch a glimpse of her every once in a while Takin' her meal, or bathin' A fine lady This one day I happened to be real close to her I saw her standin' over there So I snuck up on her, nice and easy And I got my rope out And I flung it in the air 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 if I can Well I got her, and I'm pullin' on her, she's pullin' back like this mule goin' up a ladder I take this chance and I jump up on her Damned if I don't land right on top of her Well she takes off, runnin' up onto that ridge Higher than I've ever been before She's runnin' along just fine, till she stops Something spooked her It's a sidewinder, all coiled and ready to strike She doesn't know what to do for a second But then she jumps off the edge, Me holding on Above the hills Higher than eagles were gliding Suspended in the sky Over the moon Straight for the sun we were riding My eyes were filled with light Behind us black walls Below us a bottomless canyon Floating with no sound Gulls far below Seemed to be suddenly rising Exploding all around 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 if I can And we were falling down this crevice, about a mile down I'd say! 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 |

Love for anyone who needs her Innocence is all that feeds her Rolling through the mist Floating in a sea of madness Reaching for the heights of gladness Or did she exist? Swirling ions from the stars Streaming down onto the earth From a galaxy like ours Manifested in her birth Child of the Universe Giving freely of herself Purity of truth rehearse Leaving man her cosmic well Love for anyone who needs her Innocence is all that feeds her Rolling through the mist Floating in a sea of madness Reaching for the heights of gladness Or did she exist? Vision of an untouched grace Walking gaily through the sun No one else could take her place Nor the work that she'd begun Love for anyone who needs her Innocence is all that feeds her Rolling through the mist Knowing what is understanding Patience that is undemanding Or did she exist? Or did she exist? Or did she exist? |

from The Byrds - Mr.Tambourine Man (1965)
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 |
