I said something wrong, it never fails It kept us up all night But time has her own way of showing Today in a different light Friends come and they go, everyone knows That's the way it goes But Time has her own way of showing Today in a different light Dreams sometimes come true Like mine of you When you love me like you do Time has her own means To show us our dreams And I'll dream of you
we are the children of god wherever he may be whoever she may be we go through life feelin odd like a bird inside a cage nowhere to pour the rage its a mystery i know to try and figure out what lifes gonna throw we've been around for a while i know i'll never go as long as i can see you hold on to what we got cause what we got is all we got we are the future they say whatever comes your way you gotta make it yours today and when you got nothin at all dont be sorry if you fall you keep on standin tall you've got to pave your own road and i will carry you if you got a heavy load we've been around for a while theres nothin you can do to make me want to lose you child what we got is all we got hold on to what we got cause what we got is all we got we got to hold on to what we got cause its all we got hold on to what we got cause what we got is all we got hold on to what we got cause what we got is all we got
She was sitting in the corner of a cafe In the burning heart of downtown Santa Fe Picking on a Gibson and singing "Baby Can't You See"
She was buzzing like a battlefield tracer She was grinding like gears on a Pacer I said sister Bloody Mary, won't you do a little number for me?
She said I'll sing you any song that you wanna hear Just pull up a barstool and buy me another beer Take me away, take me away from here Take me far away......Santa Fe......Santa Fe
He was living with some hippies in school bus They had puttered here from Boulder covered in dust He said I know a little lady living 30 miles up the road
I got a feeling that my ride aint gonna take me If I dont see my little lady it will break me Another 24 hours here, I think I might just explode
I been doing everything I know to try and stay free Working for the man just aint no kind of plan for me So take me away, take where I wanna be Take me far away Santa Fe......Santa Fe......
I'll sing you any song that you wanna hear It will sound alot better if you have yourself another beer Take me away, take me away from here Take me far away Santa Fe......Santa Fe......
There is a young man Driving an old man's car Down the Pennsylvania Turnpike Where the treetops meet the stars There is a warm wind Blowin' down the lost highway And he don't know where he's goin' It don't matter anyway
Cause the dreams pass through his mind Like the years he'll never find
There is an old man Night shift at the Stop-N-Go He reads his dirty magazines And mops the bathroom floor He's lived a hard life He lost a digit in the war He keeps one hand on the shotgun And both feet on the floor
And the old dreams fill his head When he lays down in his bed (Sometimes that's all you got left)
There is a pretty girl Walking a yellow dog Right down Dekalb Avenue Where the MARTA meets the fog There is a wild wind Blowin' down the old railway And I wonder she's goin' She walks by every day
In the town that Iwas born in There rides a boy and a girl in love And the answer came without warning Just like an angel from heaven above
They run down moreland into the neon night They left the others far behind But they can make believe,even if it??'s for just one night And if it??'s only in their minds
When they run, when they run,they run in the look Love is familiar, It warms just like a summer rain One moment falls into forever We got the power to melt away the pain
When we run down Moreland into the neon night We left the others far behind But we can make believe, even if it??'s for just one night
And it??'s only in our minds when we run We loose our way We run so hard,why don??'t we stay and I don??'t know where we will go to find our way
We run down Moreland into the neon night We left the others far behind The land of make believe seems to be in everybodies sights But it??'s only in their minds So they run, so they run, so they run
(Listen to the rhythm) Your in your mind half the time Trying to find someone to hide behind But still they poured right in on you And everyday you try to walk away From the stupid things they say.. They say to hurt you
But I'm singing Baby, I know you know That's when the music's pumping And the lights are low You become someone else (Yeah)....(When the lights are low) (Hey Hey...Yeahh, No No )
Well I gotta pay respect where respect is due I ain't never seen a woman who can move like you I said..I gotta pay respect where respect is due I ain't never seen a woman who can move like you
(Yeaaahh, yeah) I'm singing Baby I know you know When the music's pumpin' And the lights are low You become someone else I'm singin' Baby I know you know When the music's pumpin' And the lights are low You become someone else
(Shelby Lynne ) I feel it burnin from my soul It takes me higher..yeah And baby there's no reason to control Your hot dance with my desire Ohhhh, yeaah..mmmmmm
You're in your mind half the time Tryin' to find someone to hide behind But still they poured right in on you And everyday you try to walk away from the stupid things they say They say just to hurt you
I'm singin' Baby, I know you know when the music's pumpin' and the lights are low you become someone else I'm singin' Baby I know you know When the music's pumpin' and the lights are low You become someone else
It's 3am and the snakes have moved in, I'm playing to 4 drunks and me, but the beer is cold and the memories old and the lights are so bright I cant see
And lonesome I know you to well, You ring in my ears, Just like a bell, And your hollow Like a dark empty well Lonesome, I know you to well
(Break)
Now time stands still and it spins like a wheel whenever I see her around, but she doesn't know and I'll never show, there's to many eyes in this town
And lonesome, I know you to well, You ring in my ears Just like a bell, And your hollow Like a dark empty well, Lonesome, I know you
From all that is in me, I say these words with freedom on my tongue I give to you all of me, In this crazy world, life has just begun No one can take that away, It just keeps pourin' out like juice from berries on the vine Nowhere is where I will be, Without you and me, valentine Don't mind my preciousness, I sing these words cause that's the way I feel Men, men have killed for less, I'd do the same if harm was ever hurled your way I, I'll try to explain, It just keeps pourin' out like juice from berries on the vine Nowhere is where I will be, Without you and me, valentine And when the storms roll in, and nothin's goin' right I'll be the one who holds you (oh yeah), rock you through the night No one can take that away, It just keeps pourin' out like juice from berries on the vine Nowhere is where I will be, Without you and me, hey valentine No one can take that away, It just keeps pourin' out like juice, like juice from berries on the vine Nowhere is where I will be, Without you and me, valentine
I've never been the one who had my head on straight So i gave myself this job now I'm waitin' at the gate For my bag to inspected For some crazy reason i am always suspected Of smugglin' somethin' through Like smoke or dope or airplane glue The sargeant waves me through
Chorus: And I know you've got somethin' to believe in Down deep inside your soul Hey friend, don't you stop believin' n dreams that you had, when you were just a lad
Bear down, take another town and station by storm Crank up the tunes and meet the full moon and the Carolina corn But don't let it pass you by 'Cuz someday you'll wake up asking yourself why You sat there at your desk Suckin on the corporate breast You turned out like the rest
Chorus
Hey you, check out the view windin' down to one Me and the miss sharin' bliss and soakin' up the sun And i feel like i've been resurrected In my lifetime I have never felt protected And loved like I do, when I am here with you
And I know you've got somethin' to believe in Down deep inside your desparate soul Hey friend, don't you stop believin' In dreams that you had In the dreams that we all had, when you were just a lad
A good bit of me sleeps underneath In the bed of my soul lying next to belief If i toss where i lay, I may turn her away so i try to fall still, dreaming someday i will wake up with you beside me, with all of your love inside me so when i am gone, it guides me on everywhere i go you know I take you with me sweet darling everywhere i go, you know i take you with me ya
A good bit of me keeps to the sky on the back of a cloud unaware of how high if i stay where i lay, i might drift away soon from the pull of the sun, i am full of the moon baby your the one that grounds me when the sounds of the worlds surrounds me your love took and found me lost and on my own eveywhere i go, you know I take you with me sweet darling everywhere i go, you know i take you with me ya
and baby i, always try looking the life throughout the night and baby my dream came true with the treasure i found inside of you
Everywhere i go, you know I take you with me sweet darling Everywhere i go, you know i take you with me sweet darling.... continued
Hitched a ride from sunny L.A. With a soldier who'd gone AWOL Stockade bound And they got off in the Texas rain And they hopped a southern diesel train Headed to Atlanta My hometown
Where she danced all night In a go-go bar And he tried his best To play bass guitar In the absolute worst punk bar ever heard Yeah, but she got tired of that Georgia clay And a drunk musician Who couldn't even play So she took a bus to Boston Without a word
He never got to say goodbye And he has to wonder why It keeps him up all night The way she wore her hair It keeps him up all night Her voice is everywhere It keeps him up all night She's out there Searchin' somewhere For somethin' of her own
Well old Will kept makin' bad music worse But the whiskey and the pills Wouldn't quench his thirst no more So he stuck a needle in his arm Then he lost his band He started liftin' shops It didn't take long To get cuffed by the cops And right about now He's workin' on the county farm
It's never easier to say goodbye And she has to wonder why It keeps her up all night The way he held her hand It keeps her up all night He was her only man It keeps her up all night She's out there Searchin' somewhere For somethin' of her own
To get where you need to be You'll go thru anything Yes, you will And on your way to be free You know, love is everything Baby, love is everything
It keeps us up all night Yes, love is everything It keeps us up all night Yes, love is everything It keeps us up all night We're out there Searchin' somewhere For somethin' of our own It keeps us up all night We're out there Searchin' somewhere For somethin' of our own
I still don't know what I was waiting for And my time was running wild A million dead-end streets Every time I thought I'd got it made It seemed the taste was not so sweet So I turned myself to face me But I've never caught a glimpse Of how the others must see the faker I'm much too fast to take that test Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the strain) Ch-ch-Changes Don't want to be a richer man Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the strain) Ch-ch-Changes Just gonna have to be a different man Time may change me But I can't trace time I watch the ripples change their size But never leave the stream Of warm impermanence and So the days float through my eyes But still the days seem the same And these children that you spit on As they try to change their worlds Are immune to your consultations They're quite aware of what they're going through Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the strain) Ch-ch-Changes Don't tell t hem to grow up and out of it Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the strain) Ch-ch-Changes Where's your shame You've left us up to our necks in it Time may change me But you can't trace time Strange fascination, fascinating me Changes are taking the pace I'm going through Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the strain) Ch-ch-Changes Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the strain) Ch-ch-Changes Pretty soon you're gonna get a little older Time may change me But I can't trace time I said that time may change me But I can't trace time
