Neil Young lyrics

Well, I used to drive a cab, you knowI heard a siren screamPulled over to the cornerAnd I fell into a dreamThere were two men eating penniesAnd three young girls who criedThe West coast is falling,I see rocks in the sky.The preacher took his bibleAnd laid it on the stool.He said: with the congregation running,Why should I play the fool?Well, I used to be a woman, you knowI took you for a ride,I le

All of a sudden she was on my mind
I wasn't ready for her kind
And she was taking her time.

What if she came to me
Would she be kind?
And if she stayed with me
Do you think that she'd like to do anything
I would, or would she leave me?

Lately I've found myself losing my mind
Knowing how badly I need her
It's something hard to find.

What if she came to me
Would she be kind?

Now that you found yourself
losing your mind
Are you here again?
Finding that what you once
thought was real
Is gone, and changing?

Now that you made yourself
love me
Do you think
I can change it in a day?
How can I place you above me?
Am I lying to you when I say
That I believe in you
I believe in you.

Coming to you at night
I see my questions
I feel my doubts

Don't call pretty Peggy, she can't hear you no more
Don't leave no message 'round her back door.
They say the old laughing lady been here before
She don't keep time, she don't count score.

You can't have a cupboard if there ain't no wall.
You got to move there's no time left to stall.
They say the old laughing lady dropped by to call
And when she leaves, she leaves nothing at all.

Now that the holidays have come
They can relax and watch the sun
Rise above all of the beautiful things
They've done.

Go to the country take the dog
Look at the sky without the smog
See the world laugh at the farmers feeding hogs
Eat hot dogs.

What a pity
That the people from the city
Can't relate to the slower things
That the country brings.

Time itself is bought and sold.

I hear some people been talkin' me down,
Bring up my name, pass it 'round.
They don't mention happy times
They do their thing, I'll do mine.

Ooh baby, that's hard to change
I can't tell them how to feel.
Some get stoned, some get strange,
But sooner or later it all gets real.

Walk on, walk on,

She's a victim of her senses
Do you know her?
Can you see her in the distance
As she tumbles by?
Veteran of a race that should be over
Can you hear her sigh?
With wings to fly
She rolls along
Doing it wrong.

Oh, I've loved her so long
Oh, I've loved her so long
There's a place that I know
We could go get away for a while
I can bring her the peace
That she needs

Well, I used to drive a cab, you know
I heard a siren scream
Pulled over to the corner
And I fell into a dream
There were two men eating pennies
And three young girls who cried
The West coast is falling,
I see rocks in the sky.
The preacher took his bible
And laid it on the stool.
He said: with the congregation running,
Why should I play the fool?

Well, I used to be a woman, you know

He's a perfect stranger,
Like a cross
of himself and a fox.
He's a feeling arranger
And a changer
of the ways he talks.
He's the unforeseen danger
The keeper of
the key to the locks.
Know when you see him,
Nothing can free him.
Step aside, open wide,
It's the loner.

If you see him in the subway,
He'll be down
at the end of the car.
Watching you move
Until he knows
he knows who you are.

I don't wanna bring you down

I don't wanna change you

All I want is

Your love again

You and I want different things

But we need each other

All I want is

Your love again

Love is always changin' faces

Who knows what it means

The whole World is tryin' to find

The answer to its' dreams

Why should we lose what we got

We could rearrange it

All I want is

Your love is good to me

I should be standing tall

And walking proud

Your eyes keep looking out
And your heart keeps beatin' on

Oh yeah, without your love

I would surely die.

Some night when I'm alone

I get to wonder what's been shown

And your love is like a light

Showing me the way through the night

Oh yeah, without your love

I would surely die.

The summer ends and the winter winds

Begin to holler all around the bend.

We will smile and sail away

This won't be no sadness day
When the winter winds

greet the trees back there.

We can watch the turbine

turning in the wind

Up on the ridge line,

before the fog rolls in.

Falling leaves in the autumn air

People feeling good everywhere

When the winter winds greet

Winding paths

through tables and glass

First fall was new

Now watch the summer pass

So close to you.

Too late to keep the change,

Too late to pay,

No time to stay the same

Too young to leave.

No pass out sign on the door

set me thinking

Are waitresses paying the price

of their winking?

While stars sit in bars and decide

what their drinking,

Selling papers on the corner,

I saw a man yesterday.

I asked him if he'd wanna

Tell me what made him this way.
He said, when it's born, it's warm,

Then it gathers strength in lies,

When it falls, it falls all over you.

He used to pick his friends.

They left him in the end.

An easy thing to lose,

The right to pick and choose.

When it's born, it's warm,

How can I tell her that I love her,

When windy week-end warnings

tell me summer teases?

When I first saw her with another,
My world fell,

and I stumbled for a while.

I stumbled for a while.

Whatever happened to Saturday night?

Don't know what I'm going through,

Look everything is new,

Each time I turn around,

Feels like I'm falling down.

Welcome to the big room

Everything's alright.

People, welcome to the big room

'Cause everything's alright.

It's alright,
It's alright, It's alright.

Don't have no cameras in the big room

Too much for one lens to see.

Don't allow no cameras in the big room.

Too much for one lens to see.

It's alright,

It's alright, It's alright.

There's always tellers in the big room.

Down the highway,

all across the nation

Trucks are moving rough,

we pass the break of day
Sure looks like

we're all gonna rock forever.

Rock, rock, rock.

After midnight you see

the big trucks rolling

Pushing metal on down the super slab

Sure hard to tell from here

where we are going

Rock, rock, rock.

Do it inside, do it outside, baby

In the morning when you wake up

You've got planes flying in the sky

Flying bombs made to break up

All the lies in your eyes

There's a man says

he can put an end to war

They shot George Wallace down

He'll never walk around

Our mines are sleeping in the sea

Blow those bridges down

And burn that jungle down

And kill those Vietnamese

There's a man says

There's a face in the window

Lookin' back at me

There's a face in the window

I just can't see.
That face in the window

Keeps haunting me.

I went walking after midnight

Up and down the street

I went walking after midnight

Up and down the street

When I stopped for a smoke

I heard shuffling feet.

Well, I stopped for a smoke

What did I see?

A face in the filter

The summer ends and the winter winds

Begin to holler all around the bend.

We will smile and sail away

This won't be no sadness day
When the winter winds

greet the trees back there.

We can watch the turbine

turning in the wind

Up on the ridge line,

before the fog rolls in.

Falling leaves in the autumn air

People feeling good everywhere

When the winter winds greet

Believe me,

When I tell you

That a love true
Isn't hard to find.

'Cause I found mine

And she's so fine

Like a lifeline

From across the sea.

None of the neighbors

Remember names,

They only see the faces

With destinations still unnamed.

It's hard to leave the traces

For someone to follow.

My brother went to prison

He's in Kingston doin' time

He got seven years for sellin'

What I've been smokin' all my life

Time off for good behavior
But the boy don't feel too good

Locked behind those steel bars

I don't know if he should

Yeh a few years ago they called me

Back home to get a big award

They also called my brother

But they made him say "My Lord"

Well, hello lonely woman

Won't you take a walk with me.

I know a place where we can go

Grab a bite to eat.

Hello lonely woman.

Are you feelin' all right?

Well, you look just like heaven

On a clear clear night.

Well, I know you're a lonely woman

And I know what's on your mind

I won't ask you any favors

I'm familiar with your kind.

I know you need me

I'm not asleep when I'm lyin' down
I'm asleep when I' walkin' around
This town
This town

Some people think that it's not OK
To sleep around and kiss the hours away
This town
It's OK

Midnight, that old clock keeps ticking,
The kids are all asleep and I'm walking the floor.
Darlin' I can see that you're dreaming,
And I don't wanna wake you up
When I close the door.

This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means.
There's a garden outside she works in every day
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's

The end has come

The sky has lost it's sun

The harm is done

He was the only one

There goes my babe

There goes what might have been

There goes my babe

In the cool morning rain

And now my heart

Lies empty and still again

If he were here

I'd long to hold him near

But now it's clear

The price of love is dear

There goes my babe

There goes what might have been

There was an ill wind blowing

Through my hair last night

That froze me in my blue jeans.

I couldn't find a light

I know that something's coming
I can feel it in my bones

Thank God

for those old country boys,

I ain't out here alone.

My friends all tell me

I got daggers in my eyes

There's an anger in my heart

That they don't realize

I'm mad as hell at something

Sweet Joni from Saskatoon

There's a ring for your finger

It looks like the sun

But it feels like the moon

Sweet Joni from Saskatoon

Don't go, don't go too soon.

Who lives in an old hotel,

Near the ancient ruins.

Only time can tell,

Time can tell.

Go easy, the doorman said

The floor is slippery,

So watch your head.

This message read.

Sweet Joni from Saskatoon

I don't wanna get personal

Why have you put me on the spot?

I don't know how you feel

But for me it's getting hard
Swimming in the deep blue sea

Marching in the big parade

All I need is a little shade

Standing in the light of love

Standing in the light of love

Doesn't matter who you are

Or who you're not

All it takes is a little love

To make a handout worth a lot

I don't like to go down to flats

'Cause I can't park on a hill

Instead getting a rolling start

I have to pay the bill.

I guess I need that city life

It sure has lots of style

But pretty soon it wears me out

And I have to think to smile.

I'm thankful for my country home

It gives me peace of mind

Somewhere I can walk alone

And leave myself behind.

You can't help nobody,

until you help yourself

You can't help nobody,

until you help yourself
Nobody's going to help you

better than somebody else.

You know a man needs a woman

right by his side.

A man needs a woman

right by his side.

She keeps him warm at night,

he keeps her satisfied.

Soul of a woman, soul of a man

A perfect combination

The flash of a distant camera

reconnecting

thoughts and actions,

Fragments of our missing dreams,
Pieces from here and there

fall in place along the line,

Disappearing between you and me.

Life is changing everywhere I go,

New things and old both disappear.

If life is a photograph,

Fading in the mirror....

All I want is a song of love,

Song of love to sing for you.

Well, I'm a little light-headed

But my body feels the same

And it feels like fallin' on down

And find another name

But the sand in my shoes
May trickle to my brain

Well, I ain't got the blues

But something more tame

Oh yeah, something more tame

Oh yeah, something more tame.

Well the sound of the drums

Is pounding in my head

Like ten thousand dancers

Time for me to show my hand

Let them know just who I am
'Cause I've been down and back again.

I'm so tired of talking to strangers,

Close my eyes and I see the danger

I feel like making some changes.

So tired of talking to strangers,

Close my eyes and I see the danger

I feel like making some changes.

Something opened up the gates again,
I can't control it, so I rushed right in.
Here comes a mommy and a little girl,
Saw open drawers from around the world.

I got some medals hanging on my chest,
I've seen some good ones, but I missed the rest.
Lady luck don't you turn on me,
I'm just a student of your history,
I'm just a student of your history.

Slowpoke I'm gonna run with you,

She lives in the TV sky
She lives in such pain
She rides in a bulletproof
Stretch limousine
The smoke in the barroom nights
The faces in the window
The sound of the harbor horn
She recognized

And when the music started
She just slipped away
Just like a river rollin' down
And when the music started
She just slipped away

High on a windy hill
The turbine did whine

All the champs and the heroes

They got a price to pay

They go from sixty to zero

In the split of a hair

They see the face in the window
They feel a shadow out there

They've got the places they can go

They've got the people who stare

They've got to walk in their shoes

They've got to see what they see

They've got the people around them

Getting too much for free

Someone's hanging out,

We can't forget about.

Things that people do

when they're free.

Like visitors from space,
It's hard to find a place,

To blend in and go unrecognized.

I'm waiting for a sign,

I'm standing on the road,

My mind outstretched to you.

I'm picking something up,

I'm letting something go,

Like a dog I'm fetching

this for you.

Pictures in mind:

I won't apologize

The light shone from in your eyes

It isn't gone,

It will soon come back again.

Though we go our separate ways

Lookin' for better days

Sharin' our little boy,

Who grew from joy back then.

And it's all because

of that love we knew

That makes the world go round.

Separate ways, separate ways.

Separate ways, separate ways.

Me for me, you for you

Fire chief, car thief, misled skinhead,

Tell me where it's at?

Is it cool to bring it up again?

Will I blow my act?

Misplaced tinselface, weekend pretend,

Am I on your track?

I would love to live close to you,

Could I bring my cat?

Cowgirl, sailor,

Do you know who you are?

Cowgirl, sailor,

Do you know who you are?

Do you know who you are?

How can I bring you

To the Sea of Madness

I love you so much

It's gonna bring me sadness
I've never seen you

Through these eyes before

Now I don't believe it

I think I'll take it

Or leave it.

All I need

Is your sweet sweet loving

Fill my life with happiness

All I want is your heart

Every time I think of you

Mine falls apart.

I went to heaven

I'm a little bit high

I'm a little bit low

Hear you name wherever I go

I'm a little bit wrong
I'm a little bit right

Hear your name

all day and night

When the music calls

I'll be there

No more sadness

No more cares

Let's think about living

Let's think about life

Like a comet

painted on the sky

Like an old soul

Over darkness you'll fly

I'm a little bit here

How can I tell her that I love her,

When windy week-end warnings

tell me summer teases?

When I first saw her with another,
My world fell,

and I stumbled for a while.

I stumbled for a while.

Whatever happened to Saturday night?

Don't know what I'm going through,

Look everything is new,

Each time I turn around,

Feels like I'm falling down.

Day and night we walk these aisles

In the same old movie show

And look for someone

to feel for a while.
There's matinees on Saturdays

When we sit in the velvet chairs

Popcorn boxes fly through the air.

Sad movies, they make you cry

Sad movies make you wonder why

You ever came.

Do something to me,

Don't make me wait

Stab something through me,

Run around babe,

I'm only losing my mind

Run around babe,

Don't try to be
Something you weren't meant to be

If you are not loving me

I'll know it's because

You want to be free

Oh, oh, run around babe,

Oh, oh, run around babe.

When we were young

We left our worries behind

When we were young

Left not to be

The worry is back on me

And it's not hard to see

Round and round and round we spin,

To weave a wall to hem us in,

It won't be long.

It won't be long.

How slow and slow and slow it goes,

To mend the tear that always shows.

It won't be long.

It won't be long.

It's hard enough losin'

the paper illusion

you've hidden inside,

Without the confusion

of findin' you're usin'

the crutch of a lie

Down the highway,

all across the nation

Trucks are moving rough,

we pass the break of day
Sure looks like

we're all gonna rock forever.

Rock, rock, rock.

After midnight you see

the big trucks rolling

Pushing metal on down the super slab

Sure hard to tell from here

where we are going

Rock, rock, rock.

Do it inside, do it outside, baby

One day a visitor took a trip through my town
We all were dancinâ till he took his beat away
Come to think of it, he thought of every last detail
Slipped out late one night
Completely out of sight
Left his message etched into my brain.

And when the gates are closed on the road of plenty
The fist comes poundinâ down you feel it everyday

Youâre still the child
Suspended in space
Crying out to you
Beckons you to yet another fine place
Where the trials of life are few
Who says you are coming on
Donât think youâre living long
They wonât remember you
The rent is always due.

The cloudy men
Who take their place
And stand in line
They do
Know not of
The satin face
That separates them from you

It's rainin' in paradise

It's rainin' in paradise

It's rainin' in paradise

Here come the clouds
There's a big wind

blowin' through town

The rooster crows

But we're

sleepin' in past dawn

It's rainin' in paradise

It's rainin' in paradise

When you chase the sun

Chase it half way

around the world

The rainbow comes

When you least expect it to.

It's rainin' in paradise

When the red sun sets

on the railroad town,

And the bars begin to laugh

with a happy sound,

I'll still be here
right by your side,

There'll not be anyone

in my heart but you.

And the dreams that you're having,

they won't let you down,

If you just follow on

'cause you know

where you're bound,

The well will be flowing

and the words will come fast,

When the day is Dawning
Who's the radio
Who's the hand in your hand
Who's the one who knows
When you're on the ropes
She's the one you can lean on
And I really don't know why I feel so good
But it's happening to me so I knock on wood

Who can call you darling
Who can make you stand
Who's got all the answers
When things get out of hand
Who's got all the moves

Good lookin' Milly's got

a gun in her hand

But she don't know how to use it.

Sooner or later she'll

have to take a stand
And she ain't about to lose it.

All the towns people gather around

They've come to see

what's going down

Although no one hears a sound

There's another poor man

falling down.

Falling down, falling down.

Falling down, falling down.

On this noisy shore

If you wake up in the morning light
Something doesnât seem or know is right
Lay back and let your feeling show
Come on and let the people know
Oh, thatâs the price that you pay
Oh, thatâs the price that you pay.

Just ____________________ money

________________________________
Now come on boys, ________________

Come along and say you will,

Be the one to change the meaning

Of the writing on the wall

The lonely politician
is lying in the hall.

Come along and say you can,

Be the one to take this feeling,

I'll never understand,

Why walk around the center

With a nail through your hand?

It's another way to run,

It's a lonely weekend

And what have you done?

You know you got

Someone's hanging out,

We can't forget about.

Things that people do

when they're free.

Like visitors from space,
It's hard to find a place,

To blend in and go unrecognized.

I'm waiting for a sign,

I'm standing on the road,

My mind outstretched to you.

I'm picking something up,

I'm letting something go,

Like a dog I'm fetching

this for you.

Pictures in mind:

Sometimes I think that I know

What love's all about

And when I see the light

I know I'll be all right.

I've got my friends in the world,

I had my friends

When we were boys and girls

And the secrets came unfurled.

City of brotherly love

Place I call home

Don't turn your back on me

I don't want to be alone

Love lasts forever.

Someone is talking to me,

I'm just a passenger

on this old freight train

I ride the boxcar

through the night
I doesn't matter

where I might get off

I doesn't matter where I lie.

I've been to cities,

I've been to countries

I've left a lover in many towns

I don't care if

I ever get back to

Where I'd already been around.

I'm like an eagle,

I like to fly high

I'm like a snake,

My my, hey hey

Rock and roll is here to stay

It's better to burn out

Than to fade away
My my, hey hey.

Out of the blue

and into the black

They give you this,

but you pay for that

And once you're gone,

you can never come back

When you're out of the blue

and into the black.

The king is gone

but he's not forgotten

This is the story

of a Johnny Rotten

This one's for you Al Freed,
Wherever you go, whatever you do
'Cause the things they're doing today
Will make a saint out of you
Payola blues.
I've got the payola blues
Even though I already paid my dues.

Listen to me Mr. D.J., hear what I've got to say
If a man is making music, they ought to let his record play.
Payola blues
No matter where I go
I never hear my record on the radio.

Once high on a hill
There was a song
Nothing was wrong
That's when time stood still

Now lovers are caught
Left in their thoughts
Tied to their dreams
Bound by the depth of their love

If I can't hold on to you
If I can't hold on to you
There'll be a sky of fire and hell of blue
If all of our dreams won't come true
I'll cover you, I'll cover you

Sky is fire, Hell is blue

In a dusty town

a clock struck high noon,

Two men stood face to face.

One wore black and one wore white,

But of fear there wasn't a trace.
Two hundred years later

two hot rods drag race

through the very same place,

And a half a million people,

moved in to pick up the pace.

A factory full of people,

Makin' parts to go to outer space.

A train load of people,

I came to you,

when I needed a rest

You took my love,

and put it to the test
I saw some things,

that I never

would have guessed

Feel like a railroad,

I pulled a whole load behind.

That old white line

is friend of mine

And it's good time

we've been making

Right now I'm rollin' down

the open road

And the daylight

will soon be breaking.

I was adrift

No I'm not gonna,

Hide my feelings,

Couldn't if I tried.

No, I'm not holding them inside.

Holding back is,

So close to stealing,

Though we both have pride.

We could lose it all if we lied.

Someday it's later than,

The feeling we have now.

It's off the ground,

I've always played around.

But now I don't know how.

Listen easy,

'Cause I'm saying,

Once I was in love

Now, it seems that time

Is better spent

Searching than in finding
But no one seems to know.

So don't say you lose,

Don't say you lose,

Don't say you win,

And no one else will know,

No one else will know.

When you're down

you gather strength

To leave the ground

And when you're high

It makes you weak

and you fall back down.

Once an angel
Always an angel
You're as close to heaven
As I'll ever be

It's been six years now
Since my ring slipped on your finger
And those years have made
A better man out of me.

Once an angel
Always an angel
You're as close to heaven
As I'll ever be.

There've been times when
I've treated you so badly
I've done things I know
You'll never understand.

But you take me back

Oh, Mother Earth,

With your fields of green

Once more laid down

by the hungry hand
How long can you

give and not receive

And feed this world

ruled by greed

And feed this world

ruled by greed.

Oh, ball of fire

In the summer sky

Your healing light,

your parade of days

Are they betrayed

by the men of power

Who hold this world

in their changing hands

In the jungle land
With the sea and the sand
Can I meet you there?

We'll be drinkin' bananas
From long tall glasses
In the open air.

Ocean girl
Come 'round the world
From forgotten shores.

There'll be music playin'
What no words could say
When you first get there.

We'll be lost in a corner
That we find in each other
There' so much to share.

Ocean girl

Who's that stomping all over my face?
Where's that silhouette I'm trying to trace?
Who's putting sponge in the bells I once rung
And taking my gypsy before she's begun
To singing the meaning of what's in my mind
Before I can take home what's rightfully mine.
Joinin' and listenin' and talkin' in rhymes
Stoppin' the feeling to wait for the times.

Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing,

There's plenty of food

on the table

Lots of love in the house

The children all do what

they're able to do
We got so much to be happy about.

I got a woman standing beside me

She really knows

how to stand by her man

She's strong and she's soft

and she's honest to me

She really helps me

to be a good man.

But nothing is perfect

in God's perfect plan

Once I was in love

Now, it seems that time

Is better spent

Searching than in finding
But no one seems to know.

So don't say you lose,

Don't say you lose,

Don't say you win,

And no one else will know,

No one else will know.

When you're down

you gather strength

To leave the ground

And when you're high

It makes you weak

and you fall back down.

Who's that stomping all over my face?
Where's that silhouette I'm trying to trace?
Who's putting sponge in the bells I once rung
And taking my gypsy before she's begun
To singing the meaning of what's in my mind
Before I can take home what's rightfully mine.
Joinin' and listenin' and talkin' in rhymes
Stoppin' the feeling to wait for the times.

Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing,

Oh, Mother Earth,

With your fields of green

Once more laid down

by the hungry hand
How long can you

give and not receive

And feed this world

ruled by greed

And feed this world

ruled by greed.

Oh, ball of fire

In the summer sky

Your healing light,

your parade of days

Are they betrayed

by the men of power

Who hold this world

in their changing hands

by STEPHEN STILLS & NEIL YOUNG

Tell me where
Does it say
When you're lost you stay that way
Why a forest of fools getting in the way
Cannot hear, cannot fade with the nightsong.

Nightsong, from my heart
Why can't we
Sing this nightsong.

All alone
I reflect on my demons in the night
Some are wise,
Some are good
Some are not so bright
I can't hear

Have you ever been lost
Have you ever been found out
Have you ever felt all alone
At the end of the day
Yeah I'm talkin' bout gettin' down
Take it easy - there's no one around
Just a mirror and you and me
And the TV sky

I was walkin down main street
Not the sidewalk but main street
Dodgin' traffic with flyin' feet
That's how good I felt
Took a spin in the laundromat

We live in a modern world

With communication

between boy and girl

Oh Yeah

But under the stars above
We just don't recognise

the power of love is free

We gotta change

We gotta change

We gotta change how we feel

We gotta change

We gotta change

When anger has closed the door

My eyes go blind

and I can see inside

I hurt you and you hurt me

With crimes of love

It's midnight on the bay
And lights are shinin'
And the sailboats sway
And that cool ocean breeze.
Blowin' down through the keys
I think I'll call it a day
Oh, midnight on the bay.
Sure feels good to me.

What's this I see
There's someone comin'
Walkin' right up to me
She tells me I know your name
And if it's all the same
I'd like to spend some time.
And midnight on the bay

Mediterranean,

If I could meet you there,

Who would ever care,
We'll get in right on time

Right on time

Right on time

I dreamed my dream and I,

Were walkin' in the rain,

A sudden spirit came,

And made us go away

To holiday from fame

Vacation came

Mediterranean

Pretty Maui Mama

Lying over the water

With my sun in your eyes

When you hear the melody play
It changes every day

Oh, Hawaiian sunrise

Once when we were there

We had relaxing times,

Thought we might settle down.

But the music called me

And my friends have

much to spread around,

We moved from town to town.

Hawaiian sunrise.

And in the morning when you rise,

If you travel with

Those who know you well

I can recommend

Stay at Love Hotel.

Every room a hallway

Softly sell

Don't get

stranded on the lift

Of the Love Hotel

Love Hotel,

Love Hotel,

Love Hotel.

Don't deny yourself

It wants simple truth

Ring for give and take

As the floor and room.

Every room a hallway

Who can tell

Don't get

stranded by the lift

I've got the love art blues

Don't know which one to choose

There's really something to lose,

With these love art blues.

I went and played too hard,

And I lost my mind.,

Oh, these love art blues

Leave me a heavy one.

My songs are all so long

And my words are all so sad

Why must I choose

Between the best things I ever had.

I spilled my promise cup

I built a house of cards
Built a house of rain
Built a house of love
It's hard to build again
Built a road to reason
Built a road to fate
Built a road to the promised land
Right up to the gate

Loose change in my pocket
Future in my hand
Too many distractions
For me to understand

Too many distractions
Got to get back home
Get into something solid
Get out of the zone

Live with me, live with me
Live with me, live with me
Live with me.

Lost in space
I heard you were lost in space
That's such a lonely place for you to be.

Out of control
Singin' with too much soul
I heard you got out on parole
Workin' for the queen.

Gardening again
Landscape again
Keepin' all the grounds around her clean
Workin' for the queen.

Don't take out the magic pen

Come along and say you will,

Be the one to change the meaning

Of the writing on the wall

The lonely politician
is lying in the hall.

Come along and say you can,

Be the one to take this feeling,

I'll never understand,

Why walk around the center

With a nail through your hand?

It's another way to run,

It's a lonely weekend

And what have you done?

You know you got

Live to ride,

ride my dream machine

Good conditions

sometime are extreme
Running from the daily grind

He was, he was a friend of mine

Gonna take a long, long time

But the stain will fade away

Running from the daily grind

He was, he was a friend of mine.

Live to ride,

ride in the lonesome wind

Cross the line,

you can't come back again

Never let a dream machine

I don't wanna get personal

Why have you put me on the spot?

I don't know how you feel

But for me it's getting hard
Swimming in the deep blue sea

Marching in the big parade

All I need is a little shade

Standing in the light of love

Standing in the light of love

Doesn't matter who you are

Or who you're not

All it takes is a little love

To make a handout worth a lot

Back in the days of covered wagons

A man had his own way

Whether talkin' to a woman

Or crossing the U.S.A.

No telephones were ringing
No angry words exchanged.

I wish I was back in the saddle now

Riding on the range.

Let your fingers do the walking

Call me up some time

I'm listed under Broken Hearts

Looking for a good time.

I can't reach out and touch you

There's a light on over my head, my Lord
There's a light on over my head, my Lord
Let it shine, let it shine
Although it may not be the only one
Let it shine, shine, shine
Although it may not be the only one.

There's a moon roof over my head, my Lord
And my Lincoln is still the best thing built by Ford
Let it roll, let it roll
Although it may not be the only one

Here comes another day

And another

I got so many ills and pills

I'm about to smother

Hit 39, leavin' the top 40 behind
Holdin' on to what I got

I tried to tell myself

It doesn't matter

It's just the time of life

Another rung in the ladder

Each morning I

Look in her sky-blue eyes

The downside of life looks better

That old man standin' on the corner

Well I hate to say the farmer

Was the last of a dying breed

Living off the land

And taking what he needs

Don't say much for the future
When a family can't survive

I'd hate to say the farmer

Was the last of his kind.

In the struggle for parity

Not one man's voice can sound

Cause the foundation

of the conglomerate

Is firmly in the ground.

Yeah, they want to feed the world

Well I hate to say the farmer

Was the last of a dying breed

Living off the land

And taking what he needs

Don't say much for the future
When a family can't survive

I'd hate to say the farmer

Was the last of his kind.

In the struggle for parity

Not one man's voice can sound

Cause the foundation

of the conglomerate

Is firmly in the ground.

Yeah, they want to feed the world

When you see the golden trigger

Stand before your eyes

By the time you stop to figure

Lady Wingshot flies away.

You are so inviting

And I feel so in tune with you.

Your draw is fast as lightning

My eyes are captured by your moves.

You ride in three-ring splendor

I find I'm rising with the crowd

Too small for you to see me

Although I'm yelling right out loud.

I'm not the same man

I was a while ago

I've learned some new things,

I hope that it shows.

I'm free to give my love,

But you're not the one

I'm thinking of,

So for me

the wheels are turning

Got to keep

the homefires burning.

I'll walk these borders

In search of a line,

Between young lovers

Who live separate lives.

How long can this go on?

All of a sudden she was on my mindI wasn't ready for her kindAnd she was taking her time.What if she came to meWould she be kind?And if she stayed with meDo you think that she'd like to do anythingI would, or would she leave me?Lately I've found myself losing my mindKnowing how badly I need herIt's something hard to find.What if she came to meWould she be kind?And if she stayed with meDo you think

I feel like I just woke up

from a bad dream

And it's so good to have you
sleeping by my side

Although I'm not so sure

if I even know your name

Hold on, baby, hold on

We can go gliding through the air

Far from the jeers and lies

Yeah you are the one

I'm talkin' to this morning

With your mind so fine

and your friendly body lying

In my bungalow with stucco

Someone wants to blow up the planet

Johnny wants to find out why

Johnny did a show in St. Louis

Love came through the sky.

Oh yeah, they were camped out,

Waiting for the sun to rise

Oh yeah, Johnny sang out

Love into the sky.

Johnny found a place out in Texas

Waiting for him to come

Made himself a reservation

And hope came, in the gun.

Oh yeah, he was flying,

Well, if you've got the craving for some jellyroll
You've got to have it right now
Well, if you've got the craving for some jellyroll
You've got to have it right now
I'm your jellyroll man
I've got to have it right now.

I'm your jellyroll man
I'm your jellyroll man
I'm your jellyroll man
I'm your jellyroll man
I'm your jellyroll man
I've got to have it right now.

The saddest words

Of tongue or pen

Are these four words

It might have been

We had big dreams

We made big plans

How could they slip

Right through our hands

Instead of tearing

Our own hands to pieces

Why don't we try

To right what we've done wrong

It's not too late

To set things straight

Let's never say

It might have been

Instead of tearing

Children are laughing

in the sun

I count the voices

one by one
But I'm not there

to share the fun

I'm out on the interstate

I can hear

a soft voice calling

Calling me

to bring my guitar home.

I'm happy singing

in a crowd

The lights are bright,

the music's loud

I like to look

in every face

But out on the interstate

I can hear

a soft voice calling

Calling me

When you see the golden trigger

Stand before your eyes

By the time you stop to figure

Lady Wingshot flies away.

You are so inviting

And I feel so in tune with you.

Your draw is fast as lightning

My eyes are captured by your moves.

You ride in three-ring splendor

I find I'm rising with the crowd

Too small for you to see me

Although I'm yelling right out loud.

When you walk in a room

You hold your head up high

You talk to people eye to eye

There's nothing to hide

You're feeling
so complete inside

Your heart feels

so complete inside

'Cause you got love.

If you got love

You know you got it

If you got love

Can't live without it

If you got love

The world you're walking in

Is at your command

You're staring

Baby,

Why don't you be my girl?

I'll give it a try,

Cause I'm your kind of guy.

I said, baby,

Why don't you be my girl?

I'll give it a try,

Cause I'm your kind of guy.

I'll send you flowers

every day girl,

If you will promise to be mine,

forever more.

And if you say

the words I long to hear,

You know how happy I'll be.

So baby,

Why don't you be my girl?

I'm just a passenger

on this old freight train

I ride the boxcar

through the night
I doesn't matter

where I might get off

I doesn't matter where I lie.

I've been to cities,

I've been to countries

I've left a lover in many towns

I don't care if

I ever get back to

Where I'd already been around.

I'm like an eagle,

I like to fly high

I'm like a snake,

Well, I'm goin', I'm goin'

Goin' on a downhill slide.

I'm goin', I'm goin'

Goin' on a downhill slide.
Things feel so easy

I'm never gonna change my mind.

I'm goin', I'm goin', I'm goin'.

Well, ride me babe

Hang on to my hat

Ride me babe

Hang on to my hat

I'll howl like a wolf

Scream like an alley cat.

I'm goin', I'm goin', I'm goin'.

For the love of man

Who could understand

What goes on

What is right

and what is wrong
Why the angels cry

And the heaven's sigh

When a child is born to live

But not like you and I.

Let the angels ring the bells

In the holy hall

May they hear the voice

That calls to them

For the love of man

Who will understand

It's alright

I know it's alright.

Well, I'm a little light-headed

But my body feels the same

And it feels like fallin' on down

And find another name

But the sand in my shoes
May trickle to my brain

Well, I ain't got the blues

But something more tame

Oh yeah, something more tame

Oh yeah, something more tame.

Well the sound of the drums

Is pounding in my head

Like ten thousand dancers

Now, New York City

on a Friday night

A lot of things happenin',

a lot of bright lights.
Saw a pretty woman

all dressed in red

She turned to me

and this is what she said

She said, Honey I got the blues

I got the blues

from ridin' all night

in these high heel shoes.

Well, she took me to the corner

that she called her home

Turned around

and we were all alone.

I'm not the same man

I was a while ago

I've learned some new things,

I hope that it shows.

I'm free to give my love,

But you're not the one

I'm thinking of,

So for me

the wheels are turning

Got to keep

the homefires burning.

I'll walk these borders

In search of a line,

Between young lovers

Who live separate lives.

How long can this go on?

When I hold you in my arms

it's a breath of fresh air,

when I hold you in my arms

I forget what's out there,

All those people with their faces
walkin' up the street,

They don't have to say a thing

just look around and you see.

New buildings going up,

old buildings coming down,

New signs going up,

old signs coming down,

You gotta hold onto something in this life.

When I was a hitchhiker on the road

I had to count on you

But you needed me to ease the load

And for conversation too

Or did you just drive on through.

You didn't see me in Toronto

When I first tried out some hash

Smoked some then and I'll do it again

If I only had some cash

Only had some cash.

Then I tried amphetamines

And my head was in a glass

There was an ill wind blowing

Through my hair last night

That froze me in my blue jeans.

I couldn't find a light

I know that something's coming
I can feel it in my bones

Thank God

for those old country boys,

I ain't out here alone.

My friends all tell me

I got daggers in my eyes

There's an anger in my heart

That they don't realize

I'm mad as hell at something

Morning has come,

With the first rays of sun,

Breakin' through our window pane.

Songs fill the air,
But there's no singer there,

Just an old wooden guitar playin'.

Writing a song,

Won't take very long,

Trying not to use the word "old".

Thinking about,

Taking chances and doubts,

That still linger in the cold.

Looking forward,

All that I can see,

The brick jail doors

that closed behind are cracking

The school boy told the woman in the street

Last night
I heard the bells of summer rapping

The word vows of a mother incomplete

The emptiness of summer must begin it

The nagging of the mother of the wild

Convinced me that I had no way to win it

She took it from my hand and then she smiled

The coldness

Now, New York City

on a Friday night

A lot of things happenin',

a lot of bright lights.
Saw a pretty woman

all dressed in red

She turned to me

and this is what she said

She said, Honey I got the blues

I got the blues

from ridin' all night

in these high heel shoes.

Well, she took me to the corner

that she called her home

Turned around

and we were all alone.

Oh, hello Mr. Soul,

I dropped by

to pick up a reason

For the thought that I caught
that my head

is the event of the season

Why in crowds just a trace

of my face

could seem so pleasin'

I'll cop out to the change,

but a stranger

is putting the tease on.

I was down on a frown

when the messenger

brought me a letter

I was raised by the praise

of a fan

Well, hello lonely woman

Won't you take a walk with me.

I know a place where we can go

Grab a bite to eat.

Hello lonely woman.

Are you feelin' all right?

Well, you look just like heaven

On a clear clear night.

Well, I know you're a lonely woman

And I know what's on your mind

I won't ask you any favors

I'm familiar with your kind.

I know you need me

I may not mystify you
In your search for higher love
I may just slip right by you
With your eyes turned up above.

We may not compromise
I may not suit your taste tonight
My love
But as the time goes by
You might think that I'm all right
My love, my heavy love.

A noise, your phone is ringing
Or is that someone at your door
Inside your head I'm singing

Pretty Maui Mama

Lying over the water

With my sun in your eyes

When you hear the melody play
It changes every day

Oh, Hawaiian sunrise

Once when we were there

We had relaxing times,

Thought we might settle down.

But the music called me

And my friends have

much to spread around,

We moved from town to town.

Hawaiian sunrise.

And in the morning when you rise,

Whoooo-oo

Whoooo-oo

Guilty train,

don't whistle my way again

Guilty train,

don't whistle my way again

Guilty train,

don't whistle my way a-gain

The night was cold

And the wind was howling

I was awaken by the sound

Of hoof beats pounding.

Outside the window,

on the ground

Our hound dog was growling

Grey Riders flew across my lawn

I looked again

and they all were gone.

That voice was calling

And it cut through the night

Come on boys, let her go.

Up on a hill

They rode in one long column

Fire chief, car thief, misled skinhead,

Tell me where it's at?

Is it cool to bring it up again?

Will I blow my act?

Misplaced tinselface, weekend pretend,

Am I on your track?

I would love to live close to you,

Could I bring my cat?

Cowgirl, sailor,

Do you know who you are?

Cowgirl, sailor,

Do you know who you are?

Do you know who you are?

But I saw you walkin

the White House lawn.
Goodbye Dick, goodbye Dick.

Goodbye Rosemary,

goodbye Rosemary.

I saw you take your typewriter

out of the White House door

No one wants you

to type here anymore

Goodbye Rosemary,

goodbye Rosemary.

Back in the days of covered wagons

A man had his own way

Whether talkin' to a woman

Or crossing the U.S.A.

No telephones were ringing
No angry words exchanged.

I wish I was back in the saddle now

Riding on the range.

Let your fingers do the walking

Call me up some time

I'm listed under Broken Hearts

Looking for a good time.

I can't reach out and touch you

There's plenty of food

on the table

Lots of love in the house

The children all do what

they're able to do
We got so much to be happy about.

I got a woman standing beside me

She really knows

how to stand by her man

She's strong and she's soft

and she's honest to me

She really helps me

to be a good man.

But nothing is perfect

in God's perfect plan

A lonely man I know myself to be

It's not as bad

as some things I have seen.

The picture painted here

is not a dream
The only reality

is the way it seems.

The happier you fly

The sadder you fall

The laughter in your eyes

Is never all.

Give me strength to move along.

Give me strength

to leave my sweetheart.

I'm riding down this wet road

in my old car

Try to find

The perfect time

To say something to you

Filled with meaning

Filled with truth

If I could just live my life

as easy as a song

I'd wake up someday

and the pain will all be gone

Help me now I'm sinking fast,

I gotta get along

To the Gateway of Love

Gateway Of Love

Background noise

On a changing sky

You'll be making love to me

I still feel you

Live to ride,

ride my dream machine

Good conditions

sometime are extreme
Running from the daily grind

He was, he was a friend of mine

Gonna take a long, long time

But the stain will fade away

Running from the daily grind

He was, he was a friend of mine.

Live to ride,

ride in the lonesome wind

Cross the line,

you can't come back again

Never let a dream machine

Who put the palm over my blonde?
Who put all the tar on the morning sand?
Who took everything from where it once was
And put it where it was last seen?

Fontainebleau, they painted it green
Fontainebleau, for the well-to-do
At the Fontainebleau.

There's a palace in the gravy
That's holding on and on and on
Even after all the blue-haired ladies
And the wheelchairs are gone.

Well, I went with Mary Lou

Tried Peggy Sue

Had a date with Donna

And Barbara Ann too

But I'm kinda fonda Wanda.
Kinda fonda Wanda.

Yeah, I'm kinda fonda Wanda.

'Cause Wanda always

wanna, wanna, wanna.

Well, I went out with Jenny

Took out skinny Minnie

Long tall Sally

And short fat Fanny.

But I'm kinda fonda Wanda.

Kinda fonda Wanda.

Yeah, I'm kinda fonda Wanda.

Is my world not falling down

I'm in pieces on the ground

And my eyes aren't open

And I'm standing on my knees
But if crying and holding on

And flying on the ground is wrong

Then I'm sorry to let you down,

But you're from my side of town

And I miss you.

Turn me up or turn me down

Turn me off or turn me round

I wish I could have

met you in a place

Where we both belong

Back in the days of covered wagons

A man had his own way

Whether talkin' to a woman

Or crossing the U.S.A.

No telephones were ringing
No angry words exchanged.

I wish I was back in the saddle now

Riding on the range.

Let your fingers do the walking

Call me up some time

I'm listed under Broken Hearts

Looking for a good time.

I can't reach out and touch you

I told you babe once before

Don't want you hangin'

around my door

You better find another shoulder

Find another shoulder
Find another shoulder

'Cause honey,

I don't love you anymore.

I told you babe, you're no good,

Don't want you

messin' up my neighborhood.

You better find another shoulder

Find another shoulder, babe

Find another shoulder

'Cause honey,

High on a balcony, right where we used to be,
This city dancing like a sparkling sea.
I wanna catch a wave, I wanna swim to shore.
Walk on that same beach like I did before.

I really want the sun, want the sun to rise,
I really want to end the night.
I really wanna feel, wanna feel your love.
I wanna feel your love.

I think of our old friends, I count my enemies.

Well I hate to say the farmer

Was the last of a dying breed

Living off the land

And taking what he needs

Don't say much for the future
When a family can't survive

I'd hate to say the farmer

Was the last of his kind.

In the struggle for parity

Not one man's voice can sound

Cause the foundation

of the conglomerate

Is firmly in the ground.

Yeah, they want to feed the world

Selling papers on the corner,

I saw a man yesterday.

I asked him if he'd wanna

Tell me what made him this way.
He said, when it's born, it's warm,

Then it gathers strength in lies,

When it falls, it falls all over you.

He used to pick his friends.

They left him in the end.

An easy thing to lose,

The right to pick and choose.

When it's born, it's warm,

If you're looking for me

You'll find me

resting in the shade

Of the mountains and trees
Beneath the cool summer breeze

And I don't mind if you stay

Everybody's alone

Everybody's alone

People talking to me

Someone saying

that I'm not the same

That's not so easy to be

But when I'll learn to be free

I wonder if I'll miss the pain

Everybody's alone

Everybody's alone

Know you got to run,

Know you got to hide

Still there is a great life
Lingerin' deep within your eyes.

Open up, open up, baby let me in.

You expect for me to love you

When you hate yourself, my friend.

Everybody, I love you

Everybody, I do

Though your heart is in anger

I need your love to get through

When I tell you I love you

You can believe that it's true

The Statue of Liberty

is breathing in the air

Atlantis is waiting down below.

Late at night, flashing lights
are sighted in the air.

It's no secret,

what everybody knows.

It really don't matter much,

which way I go.

But remember

to pull over in the storm.

Have you seen the evening coconut

Bobbing on the bay?

Standing on

the water's edge of stone

by STEPHEN STILLS & NEIL YOUNG

People put me down, say that I'm a fool
But I got news for them
I ain't never going back to driving school.

And I ain't too good with numbers
And I've just run out of fuel
Here comes another corner baby
Let me demonstrate my slide rule.

Drivin' thunder, rollin' down the highway
Just one way to go, just one way to go.

I feel like I died

and went to Heaven

The cupboards are bare

but the streets
are paved with gold

I saw a young girl who didn't die

I saw a glimmer from in her eye

I saw the distance, I saw the past

And I know I won't awaken,

it's a dream that can last

I feel like I died

and went to Heaven

The cupboards are bare

but the streets

are paved with gold

Live to ride,

ride my dream machine

Good conditions

sometime are extreme
Running from the daily grind

He was, he was a friend of mine

Gonna take a long, long time

But the stain will fade away

Running from the daily grind

He was, he was a friend of mine.

Live to ride,

ride in the lonesome wind

Cross the line,

you can't come back again

Never let a dream machine

Come to see her in the river?

She'll be there to wave to you.

In the hope that you'll forgive her,

She will join you there...

Find out that now was

the answer to answers,

that you gave later.

She did the things that

we both did before now,

but who forgave her.

Now you see how down you've fallen,

Now you hear your conscious call.

Thank yourself alone for stallin',

If you want to go riding

in the tall green grass,

Try to not spook the horse.

If you want to pet

that old hound dog,

Make sure he ain't

rolled in shit.

There's a pretty little girl,

and she's living down there,

Down on her daddy's farm.

If you're going to mess

around with that chick,

Be sure to close the barn door.

Try to not spook the horse.

Once I was in love

Now, it seems that time

Is better spent

Searching than in finding
But no one seems to know.

So don't say you lose,

Don't say you lose,

Don't say you win,

And no one else will know,

No one else will know.

When you're down

you gather strength

To leave the ground

And when you're high

It makes you weak

and you fall back down.

Young Pegi just died today

Young Pegi just died today

And I guess

nobody even knows the case

But the way the story goes
She just ran out of clothes

No will this world

Just for the peg down

Last words, can't talk

And then she wrote.

Some people can't stand no rain

Some people can't stand no rain

When it's cloudy outside

You can't see the sun

Well, I came home late one night

And much to my surprise

I was thrown

right across the kitchen floor

She hit me right between the eyes.
Now I'm living

in the doghouse, doghouse

Doghouse, doghouse,

Doghouse, doghouse.

I was out with a friend of mine

We were feeling mighty fine

And we sure was movin' fast

And I didn't make it back on time

And she put me

Do I have to come right out and say it,
Tell you that you look so fine?
Do I have to come right out and ask you to be mine?
If it was a game I could play it,
Trying to make it but Iâm losing time
I got to bring you in, youâre overworking my mind.

Indecision is crowding me,
I have no room to spare
And I canât believe she cared
Like a dream she has taken me

Day and night we walk these aisles
In the same old movie show
And look for someone to feel for a while.
Thereâs matinees on saturdays
When we sit in the velvet chairs
Popcorn boxes fly through the air.

Sad movies, they make you cry
Sad movies make you wonder why
You ever came.
Do something to me,
Donât make me wait
Stab something through me,
Donât cry out the good things

Never thought love

had a rainbow on it

Used to think a cloud

was a nightmare
That was up until

I first met you

Now I go around

hoping you care.

Dance, dance,

feel it all around you

Dance, dance, dance,

Never thought love

had a rainbow on it

See the girl dance

See the girl dance.

Mississippi mud

never touched her fingers

California sand

lies in her hand

When I think about love

Honey, you always

come across my mind

Is it the way that you hold me

Or the way that
you told me love is blind

Well, it's a crime of the heart

These things I'm

thinking to myself

But I can't forget you, babe

Just can't seem to

think of nothing else.

Got a woman at home

A family to feed

Three fine children

They think the Lord of me

Winding paths

through tables and glass

First fall was new

Now watch the summer pass

So close to you.

Too late to keep the change,

Too late to pay,

No time to stay the same

Too young to leave.

No pass out sign on the door

set me thinking

Are waitresses paying the price

of their winking?

While stars sit in bars and decide

what their drinking,

Come along and say you will,

Be the one to change the meaning

Of the writing on the wall

The lonely politician
is lying in the hall.

Come along and say you can,

Be the one to take this feeling,

I'll never understand,

Why walk around the center

With a nail through your hand?

It's another way to run,

It's a lonely weekend

And what have you done?

You know you got

Someone wants to blow up the planet

Johnny wants to find out why

Johnny did a show in St. Louis

Love came through the sky.

Oh yeah, they were camped out,

Waiting for the sun to rise

Oh yeah, Johnny sang out

Love into the sky.

Johnny found a place out in Texas

Waiting for him to come

Made himself a reservation

And hope came, in the gun.

Oh yeah, he was flying,

Ain't a day goes by, I don't burn a little bit of my soul
Ain't a day goes by, I don't burn a little bit of my soul
Scored some friends along the way
Did what I did, said what I had to say
And I'd do it all again if I had to today
When all is said and done
I'm the one.

It's a long hard road when your friends start to leave you behind

Good lookin' Milly's got

a gun in her hand

But she don't know how to use it.

Sooner or later she'll

have to take a stand
And she ain't about to lose it.

All the towns people gather around

They've come to see

what's going down

Although no one hears a sound

There's another poor man

falling down.

Falling down, falling down.

Falling down, falling down.

On this noisy shore

We're changing highways

In heavy traffic

See the lights turn
To something graphic

With my suitcase and my brew

I come in your room

Hello hello

Is that you stranger

Is this our music

Up in you manger?

And is this your exit too?

We're changing highways

If you wake up in the morning light

Something doesn't seem

or know is right

Lay back and let your feeling show
Come on and let the people know

Oh, that's the price that you pay

Oh, that's the price that you pay.

Just ?? money

Your baby ??

??

Now come on boys,??

Oh, that's the price that you pay

Oh, that's the price that you pay.

Oh, that's the price that you pay

I see the light

of a thousand lamps

burning in your eyes
Still I have to turn away

for you to stay alive

'Cause I was born to run

I was born to run

I was born to run

I was born to run run run

Security had a hold on me

I had a thousand friends

But reality wasn't told to me

And I found out in the end

'Cause I was born to run

I was born to run

I was born to run

Gonna leave the pain behind
Gonna leave the fools in line
Gonna take the magic potion
Gettin' in an old black car
Gonna take a ride so far
To the land of sun tan lotion
Gonna take it state by state
Til I hit the golden gate
Get my feet wet in the ocean

I'm still living in the dream we had,
For me it's not over...

Walkin on the bridge on day
Lookin out across the bay

Welcome to the big room

Everything's alright.

People, welcome to the big room

'Cause everything's alright.

It's alright,
It's alright, It's alright.

Don't have no cameras in the big room

Too much for one lens to see.

Don't allow no cameras in the big room.

Too much for one lens to see.

It's alright,

It's alright, It's alright.

There's always tellers in the big room.

I don't wanna get personal

Why have you put me on the spot?

I don't know how you feel

But for me it's getting hard
Swimming in the deep blue sea

Marching in the big parade

All I need is a little shade

Standing in the light of love

Standing in the light of love

Doesn't matter who you are

Or who you're not

All it takes is a little love

To make a handout worth a lot

Workin' hard every day

Never notice how

the time slips away

People come, seasons go
We got something

that'll never grow old.

I don't care

if the sun don't shine

And the rain keeps pouring

down on me and mine

'Cause our kind of love

never seems to get old

It's better than silver and gold.

I used to have a treasure chest

Got so heavy that I had to rest

One mornin' when I was ridin'

In my old pickup truck

A beautiful bluebird

came flyin' down

My eyes caught the color
As it lead me down the road

Dippin' and bobbin' in the sun

I've never seen that blue before

'cept in one place

And she's not

here with me right now

So I followed all the way

To the top of the hill

That's where she

kept on climbin' Lord

Someday I will

Sleep, baby sleep,
I know your day has been oh so long
Sleep, baby sleep,
I know your day has been oh so long
The night falls at your feet
Now the day feels so complete
Compared to darkness
Sleep, baby sleep.

Talk, baby talk
Sweet talk is all it's made of
Talk, baby talk
Sweet talk is all it's made of
Promises of the morning ways,
New beginnings for another
Day to spend together

Bad news is come to town

He's walking

three feet off the ground

He's ordering another round.
Bound by his own ideas,

Lost, doesn't know

where she is found.

Bad news is fighting mad

He went and lost

the biggest prize

he ever had

But a prizefighter

can't be sad

When he smiles under

golden lights and lamps

Taking daylight fights

again and again.

Bad fog of loneliness

Put a cloud

on my single-mindedness

I dream of sweet caress
From you.

What makes tomorrow guess

What makes me take from me,

and put aside the rest

I dream of sweet caress

From you.

So long woman I am gone

So much pain to go through

Come back maybe I was wrong

Bad fog of loneliness

Put a cloud

on my single-mindedness

I used to see you on every T.V.
Your smiling face looked back at me.
I used to see you on every T.V.
Your smiling face looked back at me.
Then they caught you with the girl next door,
People's money piled on the floor,
Accusations that you try to deny,
Revelations and rumors begin to fly.

Now you think about reaching out
Maybe get some help from above.
Now you think about reaching out

Every morning got sun to shine

Every day got plenty of time

Every night

there's a moon so fine
There for you, my Amber Jean.

Still some lines

that should get crossed

Still some coins

that might be tossed

Still some love

that hasn't been lost

There for you, my Amber Jean.

Amber Jean, oh, Amber Jean,

Prettiest eyes I've ever seen.

Every morning got sun to shine

Just like a young boy

running down the road

I'm singing out

the same old song

Can't go back
the way I started from

The road goes on and on

Won't you help me, help me,

help me, help me,

Help me, help me,

help me, help me,

Take my way on home

Help me make my way on home

After Berlin.

Lights are shining

in the German sky

Cosmic walls

between the moon and I

He's a perfect stranger

Like a cross of himself and a fox

He's a feeling arranger

And a changer of the ways he talks

He's the unforseen danger

The keeper of the key to the locks

Know when you see him

Nothing can free him

Step aside, open wide

It's the loner

If you see him in the subway

He'll be down at the end of the car

Watching you move
