If you need me on a monday and it's rainin' You go down 'bout tuesday afternoon You'll be powerless and squirming by wednesday You know you can't get enough too soon
You won't know what kind of change I may play You won't know, you won't know, you won't know You won't care what your friends may say Cause you're just a passin' fancy in a midnite dream
You begin to worry on a wednesday When you're temperature's goin' down slow You call the doctor on friday But he says they don't even wanna know
Black magic's got a spell on you Black magic's gonna do you in Black magic got a spell on you With black magic, you know you just can't win
When you feel my grip gettin' stronger And there ain't a thing you can do And you can't hold out much longer I'll have your soul before I'm through
You won't know what kind of change I may throw You won't care, you won't care, you won't care You won't care what your friends, they may say Cause you're just a passin' fancy in my midnite dream
When you feel my grip gettin' stronger And there ain't a thing you can do And you can't hold out much longer You know your rectifying time is due If you feel your liver shiver And you know that I'm gonna mess with you And your soul begins to quiver There won't be any mercy for you when I'm through, baby

Inside her silver house, alone She sings a song Of water turned to sand She waits, her time is her own
Inside her looking glass Black is the color she sees While waiting for the sun She lives, so patiently
Young man travelling along Passes by a window Singing a song
Feel the wind blow As my blood flows Through the shadows Of my soul, today
See the rainbows As my love grows My heart knows What my mind won't say
The living is easy I'm born to be free The living is easy There's no reason to explain
Sitting in her sitting room, patiently She waits for a change, suddenly Oh, the changes come Hearing a song, her blood begins to flow She no longer is alone
Lying in her sitting room, silently He touches her hand, joyfully And so love has begun With joy in her heart She receives his flowing soul And love grows And it grows And it grows
Inside her purple house Oh lord, filled by her man A child begins to grow Oh lord, who can understand
Motherless children have a hard time When their mother is gone Motherless children have a hard time When their mother is gone Motherless children have a very hard time All the weepin', all that cryin' Motherless children have a hard time When their mother is gone
People say a sister will do When the mother is gone People say a sister will do When the mother is gone People say a sister will do She'll get married, turn her back on you Motherless children have a hard time When their mother is gone
Father do the best he can When the mother is gone Father do the best he can When the mother is gone Father do the best he can But there's so many things he just don't understand Motherless children have a hard time When their mother is gone
I was lookin' for some place to plead my case And I'm standing here all alone I was framed, the times they have change And I don't know where I'm goin' Motherless children have a hard time All that weepin', all that cryin' Motherless children have a hard time When their mother is gone
There's some things I can't find Some are better left alone There are few things I won't find Some are better left alone Like that bulldog in the bathroom Like that wombat on the phone
As I float in my leer jet Without a sling shot or a shield As I hang in my leer jet Without a shotgun or a shield Hey, a flying saucer wobbled past With a bulldog at the wheel Yeah
Can you give us a description Said the air force on the phone Can you certify you've seen this Said the air force on the phone No, but here's his passport And his teeth mark's on the phone
If I take a long vacation And nail my bulldog to a wall If I leave this smoggy nation And nail my bulldog to a wall If my bulldog keeps his mouth shut Will you remember me at all
There are so many places You have roamed So many people You have known I know many of them you loved Some are here, some are gone None of them could love you Cause I'm the only one
You've been away Ohh, so long And I need you So, come on
Don't you be sad Cause it won't be long I know it's been bad But you'll soon, soon be home
If I couldn't just be with you Everything would be fine If I couldn't just talk to you It would ease your troubled mind
I'm your love You're my woman And you waited so patiently
Darling I'm waitin' here Come on, come on, come on, come on home There's so many things you got to hear Some don't, don't stay away long Don't stay away long
Well, listen little girl You know I need you so I'm savin' all of my love And that's something you should know The feeling's gettin' stronger You know I can't get away I've got to be with you baby Each and every day So hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry home
Winter's people watching As I sail from season's four To join some crazy ladies In a game upon the shore None of them with broken wings But still refuse to fly So with sweetness on my lips I smile a last goodbye
And now I spend my life On the velvet side of hell Aimlessly here searching For what I cannot tell The quietness is terrible It's more than I can stand But thousands now stand cheering As my blood flows in the sand
Spoken: you're not the child You thought you were You wake up in the night And know you're blind And yet they keep on pushing Trying the insides of your mind Forever, forever arresting to control Until the emptiness of heaven welcomes your weary soul
Rise up with the new dawn's early morning Feel the sunshine warm upon your face Tomorrow's come a long, long way to help you Yes, it's your saving grace
Every day, every way Tomorrow, it's your saving grace Well, now got no time to worry Cause I've got no time to hurry Baby, it's your saving grace Now don't you lay those blames on me Don't you play those games on me Cause baby it's your saving grace You got to need a little lovin' Now baby it's your saving grace Hey, I feel alright Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Your saving grace Ah, hey, hey, hey Your saving grace La la la la la la la la.... Oh baby, it's your saving grace

You know you really got nothin' to lose Just pick up the phone and get rid of those blues
Coming to you baby on a midnight train I'll be knocking on your door, I'll be calling out your name You don't need to worry, it'll be alright Cause the midnight train is coming to ya by the morning light

I'm half a sinner, and I'm half a saint It's hard to tell by the company I keep That I'm tryin' to live in a state of grace
It's risky business, it's the queen of hearts That's the way it is, there's no holds barred But if your dream comes true, there's something to sing about
Blue eyes, I don't want to lose you Don't lie, I don't want to lose Blue eyes, I don't want to lose your love

So you found someone You found some heartache You found some fun You had some give and take You had a friend You had a fight You saw it end And then you're up all night
Have you seen the way she walks The way she smiles at me Laugh a while and talk a lot And you're beginning to see
That you get lost in her eyes She takes you away You start to talk And time it flies She takes you away
She takes her time and leads you on And then she lets you go Time to time she'll lead you on And then she'll let you know
Then you get lost in her eyes She takes you away You start to talk And time it flies She takes you away
Then you get lost in her eyes She takes you away You start to talk And time it flies She takes you away

I've had my troubles, you had yours We've had those feeling, but we've endured You and me baby in a circle of fire
River of passion River of love You and me babe
It's a lovers moon and the stars are out We're living stories that love writes about And I'm caught in the heat of passion's womb And I'm drawn in close like the tides to the moon
