Springtime of new years, the young thoughts see more dreams

while you live on the wind, how lovely it all seems

With moments yet unshared, and wishes incomplete
The stars above your head, the world beneath your feet

Suddenly your nights, begin to seem so long

There's no one there to touch, when things start going wrong

You finally realise, you've never loved at all

And over in the teacher's home she waited by the phone

For calls which never rang, and people who never sang

Train man rambled dusty into town and made his daily round

Train man and he comes in the night
brings her no love but he's right

Yes he's right

Through fog and misty morning dew, she'd seen his oily face

and he had touched her heart, taken it apart

Don't you know it doesn't matter

Who you are or what you'd really like to be

Cause it's all without your mind
And you weren't born blind

And you don't have to see

Just keep it in your heart

And if it takes you far

It's a start man

It's a start

Women were sent from heaven above

And love needs to be loved

Needs to be loved

Love needs to be loved

You were born with a face that would let you get your way

Yeah you had everything you wanted child, that is until the day

you know you're much too fine and free, Ivory

You've been dressed in a vest, every minute of your day
You walk into a room, stand in a lit shade

Is your timer too high for me, Ivory

Ivory

How does it feel to be so high

Ivory

This gravestone is peaceful and quiet

She pulls up a chair and sits right by it

The air around is gentle and warm

The rose colored wreath is tattered and torn

Tiny blades of grass are peeking through

Drawing life from sunshine and dew

remembering his eyes when she lied

Knowing she lives feeling she's died

Da da da da da da da

Da da da da da da da

Chicago Green she was the ice cube queen of blue

She got a tip from Aunt Mary, said.(?somebody?) was

in love with you

She was so nieve,, famous for her childlike mind,
I don't believe she ever opened her bedroom venetian blinds

Already Eddie was unsteady on the levee

Down Home

Down Home

Little Willy was Chicago's boyfriend, a local screw

Once had a woman I used to watch her walk

Said I once had a woman I used to watch her talk

Yes I once had a woman in my heart in my mind
You know the kind

Once saw my woman with another man

Once saw my woman take a hold of his hand

Said I once saw my woman in my heart in my mind

Ooh Lord she was a mean kind

She was a good woman yeah

Nothing wrong with her

Yes it's true I am a young man
but I'm old enough to kill
I don't wanna kill nobody
but I must if you so will
And if I raise my hand in question
you just say that I'm a fool
Cause I got the gall to ask you
Can you maybe change the rules
can you stand and call me upstart
Ask what answer can I find, I ain't sayin' I'm a genius
2+2 is on my mind

Well I knew a guy in high school

Empty words falling on ears which have never heard
Hollow lies, comin' from lost, hung up and lonely guys
Through the night, make a sight
Other rider looks so true
Sinnin', spinnin', tales of Lucy Blue

Piercing smile filling her face for a little while,
Closin' door, leaving the heart open and wounded more
Gone away, lonely day
Turning gray with no clue

[Instrumental]

Yeah, I'm gonna tell my tale come on,

Come on, give a listen

Cause I was born lonely down by the riverside
Learned to spin fortune wheels, and throw dice

And I was just thirteen when I had to leave home

Knew I couldn't stick around, I had to roam

Ain't good looking, but you know I ain't shy

Ain't afraid to look it girl, hear me out
