The smile you smile as you and I
See through your laughing eyes
The smile you smile as you and I
See through your laughing eyes
Oh, baby
In the whirlpool of them, I
Can be in paradise
Id go roamin in the gloamin
Ever and a day with you
Oh yes, I will
Id go roamin in the gloamin
Ever and a day with you
Oh baby
Sit between the stars and say
Thats my point of view
Oh yes

In the purple heather
On a hillside mountain fog will stray
Oh yeah

Around us in the same old way
I, I, I, I, love you, baby
I, I, I, I, love you, oh yeah |
Come here my love
This feeling has me spellbound
Its the story line in paragraphs laid down the same
In fathoms of my inner mind Im mistified by this mood
This melancholy feeling just dont do no good
Come here my love
And I will lift my spirits high for you
Id like to fly away and spend a day or two
Just contemplate the fields and leaves talking about nothing
Just laying down in shades of effervescent
The effervescent colors and shades of time and tide
Im falling through
Become enraptured by the sights and sounds in intrigue of nature and beauty
Come along with me and take it all with you
Come here my love |
Baby, stall the gate for me
Take me, lift me out of my misery
Lift my spirit up, and set me free
When things are driving me insane
Let me hear that same rhythm ring
Over and over and over
And over and over and over and over again
Take it to the break
Dont make any mistake
For goodness sake
Have to stay awake
Broken record, broken record, broken record
Broken record, broken record, broken record
Broken record, broken record, broken record
Broken record, broken record, broken record
Broken record, broken record
Take it to the break
Make no mistake
Stay awake
Whatever it takes
Broken record, broken record, broken record
Broken record, broken record, broken record
Broken record, broken record, broken record
Broken record, broken record, broken record
Broken record, broken record, broken record
Broken record, broken record, broken record
Broken record, broken record, broken record
Broken record, broken record, broken record
Broken record, broken record, broken record |

Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Cant leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Manys the road I have walked upon
Manys the hour between dusk and dawn
Manys the time
Manys the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Cant leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Lost dreams and found dreams

Lost dreams and found dreams

And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Cant leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it

Over In Killarney
Many years ago
My Mother sang a song to me
In tones so sweet and low;
Just a simple little ditty
In her good old Irish way
And Id give the world to hear her sing
That song of hers today
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Hush now dont you cry!
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Thats an Irish lul-la-by
Oft, in dreams I wander
To that cot again
I feel her arms a-hugging me
As when she held me then
And I hear her voice a humming
To me as in days of yore
When she used to rock me fast asleep
Outside the cabin door
Another verse...
Oh I can hear that music
I can hear that song
Filling me with memories
Of a mothers love so strong
Its melody still haunts me
These many years gone bye
Too ra loo ra loo ral
Until the day I die |
Like a full force gale
I was lifted up again
I was lifted up again by the Lord
And no matter where I roam
I will find my way back home
I will always return to the Lord
In the gentle evening breeze
By the whispering shady trees
I will find my sanctuary in the Lord
I was headed for a fall
Then I looked up and saw the writing on the wall
Like a full force gale
I was lifted up again
I was lifted up again by the Lord
I was headed for a fall
Then I looked up and saw the writing on the wall
In the gentle evening breeze
By the whispering shady trees
I will find my sanctuary in the Lord
And no matter where I roam
I will find my way back home
I will always return to the Lord
Like a full force gale
I was lifted up again
I was lifted up again by the Lord |
I had to read between the lines
Cause it didnt make sense
Had to read between the lines
Cause it looked like somethin else
Well,
It might make somebody cry
Had to read between the lines
Had to find out why
Had to read between the lines
Thats what my mama said
Had to read between the lines
In case it went right to my head
Had to read between the lines
It might be a big mistake
If I couldnt see though it and everything was fake
Had to read between the lines
Right where I signed my name
Had to read between the lines
To keep staying in the game
You had the money in your hand
I had somewhere else to go
Had to read between the lines
To get back in the know
Read between the lines
Read between the lines
Read between the lines
Had to read between the lines
Thats what my mama said
Had to read between the lines
I didnt let it go to my head
Had to read between the lines
It might just be a mistake
If I couldnt see though it when everything was just fake
Read between the lines
Read between the lines
Read between the lines |
Let go into the mystery
Let yourself go
Youve got to open up your heart
Thats all I know
Trust what I say and do what youre told
Baby, and all your dirt will turn
Into gold
Let go into the mystery
Let yourself go
And when you open up your heart
You get everything you need
Baby theres a way and a mystic road
Youve got to have some faith
To carry on
Youve got to open up your heart
To the sun
You know hes looking out for you
Cause hes the one
Let go into the mystery
Let yourself go
There is no other place to be
Baby this I know
Youve got to dance and sing
And be alive in the mystery
And be joyous and give thanks
And let yourself go
I saw the light of ancient Greece
Towards the One
I saw us standing within reach
Of the sun
Let go into the mystery of life
Let go into the mystery
Let go into the mystery
Let yourself go
Youve got to open up your arms
To the sun
You know youve got so many charms
Its just begun
Trust what I say and do
What youre told
And surely all your dirt will turn into gold |
Oh yeah
Yeah, yeah
When I was a young boy back in Orangefield, yeah
Used to look out my classroom window and dream, yeah
And go home and listen to Ray sing
I Believed In My Soul after school
Ah, that love that was within me, yeah
You know it carried me through
Well it lifted me up and it filled me
Meditation contemplation too
Got to go back
Weve got to go back
Got to go back
Got to go back
For the healing go on with the dreaming
All these people in the street
And the summers almost here
Got to go outside in the fresh air
And walk while its still clear
Breathe it in all the way down
To your stomach too
And breathe it out with a radiance
Into the nighttime air
Got to go back
Weve got to go back
Got to go back
Have you got to go back
For the healing go on with the dreaming
Got my ticket at the airport
Well I guess Ive been marking time
Ive been living in another country
That operates along entirely different lines
Keep me away from porter or whiskey
Dont play anything sentimental, itll make me cry
Got to go now my friend
Is there really any need to ask why?
I guess weve got to go back
Got to go back
People Ive got to go back
Well weve got to go back
For the healing go on with the dreaming
Ah, weve got to go back
Baby we got to go back
People, got to go back
Got to go back
For the healing go on with the dreaming
With the dreaming, la la la la la
With the dreaming
With the dreaming
With the dreaming
With the dreaming
Go to sleep
Talking to my baby |
Let us free you from the pain
Let us see you smile again
Let us unlock all the chains
Youre broken-hearted
Let us help you to forget
Let us help you unlock it
Its not nearly time to quit
Youve only started
You gotta sit down, funny face
Oh, let your laughter fill the room
Light up your golden smile
Take away all your misery and gloom
Oh, let your laughter fill the room
Oh, let your laughter fill the room
Let us shake you by the hand
Let us help you understand
Take your head out of the sand
And shake it free now
Let us help you to go on
We are here to lean upon
Now you know exactly just who
You want to be now
Come on, sit down, funny face
Oh, let your laughter
Yeah, let your laughter fill the room
Light up your golden smile
Take away all your misery and gloom
Oh, let your laughter fill the room
Oh, let your laughter fill the room
Let us lift you up on high
See the twinkle in your eye
Raise you up into the sky
And say its easy
Hey, let the trumpets ring it
Oh, let the angels sing it
Let your pretty feet go dancing
Let your worn out mind go prancing
And sit down, oh, funny face
Oh, let your laughter fill the room
Light up your golden smile
Take away all your misery and gloom
Oh, let your laughter fill the room, cmon
Let your laughter fill the room
Let your laughter fill the room
Let your laughter fill the room
Let it fill the room
Oh, let it fill the room
Oh, let the laughter fill the room, ooh |
She told me she loved me
Bout ten times a day
She said that she would die
If I ever went away
Then I got this letter
Cut just like a knife
Said, I met somebody else
Why dont you have a nice life
Love should come with a warning
Cause it can break your heart
One minute that youre falling
Next minute youre falling apart
Love should come with a warning
And a dangеr sign
Wont somebody help me
Mеnd this heart of mine
She was smoking and drinking
And I just cant get to sleep
Man, shes a better actress
Than Meryl Streep
I should see her right up there
On the silver screen
Im telling you now
Shed steal every scene
Love should come with a warning
It can break your heart
One minute, one minute youre falling
And your next youre falling apart
Love should come with a warning
And a danger sign
Wont somebody help me, help me
Mend this heart of mine
Love should come with a warning
And a danger sign
Wont somebody help me
Mend this heart of mine |
I can feel her heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I am with her thats where I belong
Yet Im running to her just like a rivers song
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
Shes got a fine sense of humor when Im feeling low down
And when I come to her when no one else is around
She takes away my trouble, takes away my grief
Takes away my heartache, in the night like a thief
And I need her in the daytime
Oh I need her in the night
I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss her, kiss her and hug her tight
When Im returning from so far away
She gives me sweet lovin brighting up my day
And when I am with her thats where I belong
Oh yes Im running to her just like a rivers song |
Well its an ill wind
That blows no good
And its a sad heart
That wont love like it should
And oh how lonesome you must be
And its a shame
You dont share your love with me
And its a heartache
When love is gone
And its bad, even sad later on
Theres no one blinder than
He who just wont see
And its a shame
You dont share your love with me
I cant help it, oh no
If shes gone
I must try to forget and you must live on
Well its a good thing to love someone
But as bad, even sad when its not returned
Lord, and oh so lonesome you must be
And its a shame
If you wont share your love with me, yeah
I cant help it no, no
I shes gone
You must try to forget
You must live on
And its a blind fool that doesnt want to see
And its a shame
If you dont want to share your love with me
And its a shame
If you dont want to share your love with me
Lord, and its a shame
If you dont want to share, share your love with me
Yeah, share your love with me |
We strolled through fields all wet with rain
And back along the lane again
There in the sunshine
In the sweet summertime
Oh the way that young lovers do
I kissed you on the lips once more
We said goodbye at your front door
There in the night time
Love, thats the right time
Oh to feel the way that young lovers do
And we sat on our own star
And dreamed of the way that we were
And the way that we wanted to be
And we sat on our own star
And dreamed of the way that I was for you
And that you were for me
And then we long to dance the night away
Turned to each other, saying I love you, baby I love you
Oh the way that young lovers do
Lovers do
Do, do, do, do
The way young lovers do
Do, do, do, do
The way young lovers do
And we sat on our own star
And dreamed of the way that we were
And the way that we wanted to be
And we sat on our own star
And dreamed of the way that I was for you
And you were for me
Oh baby, baby
And then we long to dance the night away
And turned to each other, saying I love you, baby I love you
Oh the way
I held her with her looking down
And I kissed her
With the snow falling down
In the street light
It was a sweet light
And the way that young
Oh, the way that young lovers
Oh the way that young
That young lovers
That young lovers |
Mind control
Keep you in line
Try to think
Outside the blind leading the blind
Try and break the double binds
Try and break the double binds
It’s always the opposite of what they say
Cause they know people are easy prey
Have to police everyone’s mind
Nowadays you have to be careful of everything you say
But it’s all by design
That’s why we have to break the double bind
Mind control keeps us in line
That’s why we’ve got to think outside the blind lеading the blind
Why we’ve got to think outsidе the box
Find something that really rocks
Trying to keep you in line
But you’re trying to break the double bind
Nigel comes on strong then backs away
Comes back to fight another day
Third parties not going to be flying blind
No, he’s not going to change his mind
Weird scenes in the diamond mine
Keep on, keep on breaking the double bind
Got to break
Got to break
The double bind
Trying to break
Trying to break
The double bind
If you feel that way inclined
Keep on trying to break the double bind
Seems like everyone’s lagging behind
AKA they try to tell you all good things in time
Everybody’s looking for some sign
Meanwhile everybody’s drinking our wine
We’ve got to move on up the line
Keep on keeping on to break the double bind
Double, double, double, double, double, double, double
Double, double, double, double, double
Double, double, double, double, double, double, double
Double, double, double, double trouble
Double trouble what you find
Trying to break the double bind
Double, double, double, double, double, double, double
Double, double, double, double trouble
Double, double, double, double, double, double, double
Double don’t burst my bubble
Double trouble what you find
Trying to break the double bind
Got to move on up the line
Got to break the double bind |

Sometimes we know
Sometimes we dont
Sometimes we give
And sometimes we wont
Sometimes were strong
And sometimes were wrong
Sometimes we cry
Sometimes we cry
Sometimes its bad
When the going gets tough
Help me look in the mirror
Help me wanna give up
Sometime you know leave it
Want to try
Sometimes we cry
Well we gonna have to sit down
And think it through
Yeah, if we only hear them
What more can we do
The only thing to do
Is eat humble of pie
Sometimes we cry
Sometimes we cry
For they put me in a jacket
Take me away
I aint gonna fake it
Not like Johny Ray
Sometimes we live
Sometimes we die
Sometimes we cry
Sometimes we cant
See everything straight
Sometimes everybody

Sometimes we cry
For they put me in a jacket

Dont make it long
And remember to sing it the old way
Let it all out
Let your voice ring in the street, now
My fun
Shall be this one to complete, now
Why did you leave America?
Why did you let me down?
And now that things seem better off
Why do you come around?
You know I just cant see you, now
In a-my, in a-my, new world crystal ball
You know I just cant free you, now
Thats a-not my job at all
Move it on up
Move it on up by the window, move it on
A magnificent flow
Lord, let it all grow in the moonglow
Ill take the wine
Ill take the wine with the gravy
Ill ask you the time
And just send the bill, to my baby
Why did you leave America?
Why did you let me down?
And now that things seem better off
Why do you come around?
You know I just cant see you, now
In a-my, in a-my, in a-my
New world crystal ball

Thats not my job at all
You know, you know, you know
I just cant free you, now |
Showed me pictures in the gallery
Showed me novels on the shelf
Put my hands across the table
Gave me knowledge of myself
Showed me visions, showed me nightmares
Gave me dreams that never end
Showed me light out of the tunnel
When there was darkness all around instead
Tore down a la rimbaud
And I wish my message would come
Tore down a la rimbaud, you know its hard some time
You know its hard some time
Showed me ways and means and motions
Showed me what its like to be
Gave me days of deep devotions
Showed me things I cannot see
Tore down a la rimbaud
And I wish my purpose would come
Tore down a la rimbaud, you know its hard some time
You know its hard some time
Showed me different shapes and colours
Showed me many different roads
Gave me very clear instructions
When I was in the dark night of the soul
Tore down a la rimbaud
And I wish my writing would come
Tore down a la rimbaud, you know its hard some time
You know its hard some time |
Beautiful vision

Stay ever on my mind with your beautiful vision
I can make it
I can make it
With your beautiful vision |

Ive been grinding
Ive been grinding for so long
13 years Ive been working baby
Working for so long
When I get home
You best be in my arms
I want you in my arms
And I said woman, woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, woman |
Send me your picture
Send me your pillow
Send it through krishna
On the vanlose stairway
Send me your bible
Send me your gita
I want to reach you
On the vanlose stairway
And your stairway
Reaches up to the moon
And it comes right back
It comes right back to you
Send me some loving
Send me some kissing
You know what Im missing
On the vanlose stairway
On the vanlose stairway
Right there, hold it
And your stairway
Reaches up to the moon
And it comes right back
And it comes right back to you
Send me your Bible child
Send me your gita... |
Take it easy, baby
Cause you got, you got what it takes
Take it easy baby
You got what it takes
Take it easy baby
Treat ya like a piece of cake
Hey and do the thing you do
Say the things you need to say
Well, you do the things you do
Say the things you need to say
Take it easy baby
You got to stay that way
Taken by the loser, youre my baby
Drawn me maybe, everythings fine

Dont mean maybe everythings just fine
Baby, baby, love me baby
Just be my valentine
Take it easy baby
You got just what it takes
Take it easy baby
Cause you got what it takes
Whats a piece of cake
Youve got to make all the breaks |
You know what theyre writing about
Baby you know what theyre writing about
Its a thing called love down through the ages
Makes you wanna cry sometimes
Makes you feel like you wanna lay down and die sometimes
Makes you high sometimes
But when you really get in it lifts you right up
Aint it a wonderful game
Aint it a marvelous game
And when theres no more words to say about love I go
Meet me down, meet me down
Meet me down by the river
Meet me down by the water
Meet me down by the water
Meet me down by the pylons
Meet me down by the pylons
Meet me down by the pylons
Meet me down by the pylons
Meet me, meet me, I want you to meet me - are you there
And know, know, know, know
I want you to meet me - are you there
I want you to meet me - are you there
And know, know, know, know, know
I want you to meet me

And I take you down to the burning ground
And you change me up and you turn it around
In the wind and rain Im gonna see you again
In the morning sun and when the day is done
And you take my hand and you walk with me
And sometimes it feels like eternity
And I turn the tide I get back my pride
And I make you proud when you say it out loud
When I take you down to the burning ground
To the burning ground
To the burning ground
To the burning ground
To the burning ground
And I take you down by the factory
And I show you like it has to be
And you understand how the work is done
And I pick up the sack in the midday sun
And I pull you up through by the skin of your teeth
And I lift the veil, I see whats underneath
And you return to me and you sit on your throne
And you make me feel that Im not alone
And I take you down to the burning ground
To the burning ground
To the burning ground
To the burning ground
To the burning ground
Hey man, whos that youre carrying?
Feels like lead
It weighs a ton
Lets see if we can, lets see if we can dump it by the side of the hill
Hey wait up, why dont you dump it on the burning ground?
Dump it down there
Yeah, yeah man, dump the Jute
Hey man, dump the Jute on the burning ground
Dump the Jute?
Yeah you know, dump the Jute
Dump the Jute!
On the burning ground
On the burning ground
And you make me think what its all about
Sometimes I know gonna work it out
And I watch you run in the crimson sun
Tear my shirt apart open up my heart
And I watch you run down on your bended knees
By the burnt out well can you tell me please
Between heaven and hell wont you take me down
To the burning ground
To the burning ground
To the burning ground
To the burning ground
To the burning ground
To the burning ground
To the burning ground
And you fall and pray, when you hear that sound
And were walking back to the burial mound
And you shake your head and you turn it around
And you see the flames from the burning ground
And you get down on your knees and pray
And I catch my breath as were running away
And I take the Jute and I throw him down
On the burning ground
On the burning ground
On the burning ground
Its on the burning ground
On the burning ground
On the burning ground
On the burning ground
Its on the burning ground
Its on the burning ground |
When you got a headache
Headache powder soothes the pain

When you got a heartache
There aint nothin you can do

Who drove the red sports car from the mansion
And laid upon the grass in summer time?
And who done me out high time fashion
And made me read between the lines?
And who said, Follow the mind, its your only chance
Sit on your throne
You got to make it on your own, on your own?
And who said, Ha, ha, look at you, look at you
You got jam on your face.
And who did your homework and read your Bible
And signed your name every place?
And who said, Fortunes untold lie, dont go by gold
Youre much better known, you got to make it on your own
On your own. Ah, ah, uh-huh
And do you remember, do you remember this time
I said a long time ago when I came walkin down
I came walkin down, ha, by Maggies place, ha ha ha
It started comin on rain, huh, it started comin on rain
Cause I had nothing on but a shirt and a pair of pants
And I was getting wet, I was getting wet
Saturated, saturated, baby
And Maggie opened up the window
And Jane swung out her right arm
She said, Hi! I said. Hi, howre you doing, baby?
She said, Come on in out the rain, come on in out the rain
Lord, come on in out the rain, sit down by the fireside
And dry yourself. Achoo, do it, do it, a-ha ha ha, I got caught
I got caught An I got, got a bag, got a bag, baby, oh Lord
I said, I dont mind if I do, I dont mind if I do. Ha, aah...
Haa, its a bag
I mean, huh, you know you gotta
You know, you sort-a turn it upside down
Somethin like, put it on a rack
Fold it n, press it n
Call it a record or somethin like that goin
You guys have got a sure thing... |
In the back room
In the back room
I waited for you
Ya waited for me
Rain came down, pitter-pat
Say, Whatd you think, its raining outside?
You said, So what
You turned the record player on
Had a smoke, stood up
Walked across to the john
In a cloud of mist, couldnt resist
A kitty stepped into the hall
An she rapped the door
Found the key in the letter box
She turned the door
Walked into the room
And said, Whats goin on?
I just got back from down the road
I gotta couple a-bottles a-wine
Somethin to turn you on
What-a ya think of that?
I said, Sit down cat, pull up a seat
Youre soakin wet
Take off your coat n hat
Wipe your feet on the mat
In the back room
In the back room
I waited for you
Ya waited for me
I said, What time is it, Charlie
Where did we go all day?
We seem to get no where and do nothin
But sit lookin at each other
He said, I know
I been doin the same thing for weeks
I look at the clock
And all of a sudden Im hypnotized
It speaks to me, it goes
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
Ah-huh
The kitty said
I dont know what you guys do
But I been workin so hard, lately
That I can just only just fall asleep in bed
So he played some more sounds
And grooved awhile
Somebody brought out some
Cherry wine, cherry wine
And we talked about what was goin on
In the music world, and other things
A-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha
The rain outside came down
Like it came never before
Down it came, down it came, rain rain rain
And I said
Baby what time is it, what time is it
Tell me, what time is it?
A-four-thirty
So I peeked round the corner, the blind
An there ya go
Theres another girl thats comin home from school
Lookin so cool, just learned her As to Zs
And said, Hey man, dont look funny
All the little girls comin home from school
And theyre sittin, talkin and drinkin
And all them other funny things
A-ha-ha
And Charlie said to me
Ya know what?
I said, What?
He said, Man, you gotta go out there
An do somethin for yourself
Ya feel like ya wanna make it
Or else you gonna be sittin round here
Like, nothin
I said, Youre right
I said Youre so right!
He said
I know ah-ha
I said, Do ya?
Said, You know, youre cuttin records
Cuttin records right
You came through that
An, they get through all the time
Youre gonna be out on the road
Oh, out in on back street, man
On the, on the, highway
An the colors are gonna run
All of a sudden, dont ya feel sick?
The next gig, you gotta make it
I said, Yeah, I feel sick
I said, Yeah, ya know I cant stay here
All the time, as much as Id like to
But I just learn about all day and all night
An dig sounds, and go down to the river
And once the artists go through the motions
Gotta do my thing
Aah-ah
Aah-ah
Gotta do my thing
In the back room
In the back room |
Sometimes we know, sometimes we dont
Sometimes we give, sometimes we wont
Sometimes were strong, sometimes were wrong
Sometimes we cry
Sometimes its bad when the going gets tough
When we look in the mirror and we want to give up
Sometimes we dont even think well try
Sometimes we cry
Well were gonna have to sit down and think it right through
If were only human what more can we do
The only thing to do is eat humble pie
Sometimes we cry
Fore they put me in a jacket, and they take me away
Im not gonna fake it like Johnnie Ray
Sometimes we live, sometimes we die
Sometimes we cry
Sometimes we cant see anything straight
Sometimes everybody is on the make
Sometimes its lonely on the lost highway
Sometimes we cry, sometimes we cry
Gonna put me in a jacket, and take me away
Im not gonna fake it like Johnnie Ray
Sometimes we live, sometimes we die
Sometimes we cry, sometimes we cry
Sometimes we live, sometimes we die |
Im carryin a torch for you
Im carryin a torch
You know how much it costs
To keep carryin a torch
Flame of love it burns so bright
That is my desire
Keep on liftin me, liftin me up
Higher and higher
Youre the keeper of the flame
And you burn so bright
Baby why dont we re-connect
Move into the light
Ive been going to and fro on this
And Im still carryin a torch
You must know how much its worth
When Im carryin a torch
Baby youre the keeper of the flame
And you burn so bright
Why, why, why, why, why, why dont we re-connect
And move on further, into the light
Ive been calling you on the phone
Cause Im carryin a torch
I can do it all on my own
Cause Im carryin a torch
Im carryin a torch for you, baby
Im carryin a torch
You know how much its worth
Because Im carryin a torch
Im carryin a torch for you, baby
Im carryin a torch
You know how much its worth
Because Im carryin a torch |
Contacting my angel, yeah, contacting my angel
Shes the one, shes the one, that satisfies
Contacting my angel shes the one that satisfies
Shes the one that I adore
Got a telepathic message from my baby
In a little village through the fog
Here comes my baby, I can tell
I can tell by the way she walks
Said Ive been on a journey up the mountain side
And I drank the water from the stream
It was pure, pure water and healing
I met a presence on the mountain side
And he looked so radiant and he was
The youth of eternal summers
Like a sweet bird of youth in my soul
In my soul, in my soul, in my soul, in my soul
In my soul, in my soul, in my soul |
Once in a blue moon
Something good comes along
Once in a blue moon
Everythings not going wrong
When you get weary
Beating on the same old gong
Once in a blue moon
Someone like you comes along
Once every once in a while
Something comes along that feels just right
Once every once in a while
Just like switching on an electric light
And sometimes you try till youre blue in the face
But when you get that feeling
Nothings going to take its place
Once in a blue moon
Theres a thing called happiness
It happens when youre
In a state of natural grace
When the wind is blowing
All around the fence
I get that happy feeling
Things start making sense
All just feels so lucky
That you just cant go wrong
Once in a blue moon
Someone like you comes along
Once in a blue moon
Theres a thing called happiness
It happens when youre in
A state of natural grace
When the grass is growing
All around the fence
And you get that happy feeling
Everything starts making sense
And you get so lucky
That you cant go wrong
Once in a blue moon
Something comes along
Once in a blue moon
Someone like you comes along
Once in a blue moon
Something good comes along
Once in a blue moon
Someone like you comes along |
All that trouble all that grief thats why I had to leave
Staying away too tong is in defeat
Why Im singing this song, why Im heading back home?
Thats what makes the Irish heart beat
Im just like a hobo riding a train, Im like a gangster living in Spain
Have to watch my back and Im running out of time
When I roll the dice again if lady luck will call my name
Thats what makes the Irish heart beat
Well thats what makes it beat, when Im standing on the street
And Im standing underneath this Wrigleys sign
Oh, so far away from home but I know Ive got to roam
Thats what makes the Irish heart beat
And it was off to foreign climes on the Piccadilly line
We were standing underneath the Wrigleys sign
So far away from home, well I know Ive got to roam
That s what makes the Irish heart beat
Just like a sailor out on the foam any port in a storm
Where we tend to burn the candle at both ends
Down the corridors of fame like the spark ignites the flame
Thats what makes the Irish heart beat
But I roll the dice again, if lady luck will call my name
That s what makes the Irish heart beat
Oh, thats what makes the Irish heart beat
Thats what makes the Irish heart beat |

So let us follow Boffyflow and Spike down through the days of the leaves. Boffy is covered with leaves completely the buckijit and Spike is in hysterics. On they go, on and on up the small incline, gathering sacks of leaves for burning in the clearing and waiting on McDole
McDole has not been seen nor heard of since Halloween and everyone is getting a trifle nervous. Spike took the sheet of paper from his inside coat pocket and tried to decipher the code, but as he glanced over the page, he realised he had not noticed the note in the margin that said It means what it means, followed by, Wee Alfie at the Castle picturehouse on the Castlereagh Road, whistling on the corner next door where he kept Johnny Mack Browns horse. O Solo Mio by McGimsey and the man who played the saw outside the city hall. Pastie suppers down at Davys Chipper, gravy rings, barmbracks, wagon wheels, snowballs. A Sense of Wonder
On and on. Spike and Boffyflow tramping with sacks of leaves over the Gransha road to Ballystockart and back again. Puck up said Boffy, It means what it means and we have a windfall. If were not daft enough to burn these leaves, we can freeze them til next Autumn, study them and then let them decompose. If we can get in touch with your man, I would strongly advise him to do ditto with the documents
Just at that moment, as if by a strike of faith, McDole came round the bent on a bike. Okay lads, youre on to something, dont blow it. Go out to the Isle and have a few scoops on me. The boys drove out in the charabanc to Daft Eddies and ordered up. And so down to work putting the documents in perspective. McDole got out the accordian and started to wail When heart is open theres loads from Ballygowan to Ballyhacamore. He spun round on one leg, grabbing Spike by the lapels, Youre terrible you are. You blurt. He put away six doubles of Jameson from the bar and sank into a deep apathetic slumber, mumbling Blinkin Cowboys, Blinkin Cowboys...
------------------------------------------------------------
Van wrote this , and included an instrumental of the same name on that album. Some of the text from this piece also appears in the lyrics for A Sense of Wonder |
Be Thou my vision, oh Lord of my heart
Nought be all else to me, save that Thy art
Thou my best thought in the day and the night
Waking or sleeping, Thou presence my light
Be Thou my wisdom, be Thou my true word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me Lord
Thou my great Father and I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one
Be Thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight
Be Thou my armour and be Thou my might
Thou my soul shelter, and Thy my high tower
Raise Thou me heavenwards, oh power of my power
Riches I need not, nor mans empty praise
Thou mine inheritance through all of my days
Thou and Thou only though first in my heart
High king of heaven my treasure Thou art
Oh high king of heaven, when battle is done
Grant heavens joy to me, bright heaven sun
Christ of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, though ruler of all
Da, da, da, da, da... |
Your street, rich street or poor
You should always be sure of your street
Theres a place in your heart, when you know from the start
You cant be complete without a street
Keep movin on, through the joy and the pain
Sometimes you gotta look back to the street again
Would you prefer all those castles in Spain
Or a view of the street from your window pane?
And you walked around in the heart of town
Listening for that sound
And the street only knew your name
When the street only knew your name, your name
There was Walter and Joy, Katie and Roy
Used to hang out round the corner lamplight
Get together sing some songs
Like Boppin the Blues - you make me feel alright
That was long before fortune and fame
Nothing to lose and so much to gain
Everyone knew who everyone was
And they knew it because of the street
And you walked around in the heart of town
Listening for that sound
When the street only knew your name
When the street only knew your name, oh your name
And you walked around in the heart of town
Listening for that sound
When the street only knew your name
When the street only knew your name
We were singing Be Bop A Lula, Who Slapped John?
When the street only knew your name |
Tell me the story now
Now that its over
Wrap it in glory
For one Irish rover
Tell me youre wiser now
Tell me youre older
Wrap it in glory
For one Irish rover
I can tell by the light in your eye
That youre, youre so far away
Like a ship out on the sea
Without a sail youve gone astray
Tell me the facts real straight
Dont make me over
Wrap it in glory
For one Irish rover
Tell me youve seen the light
Tell me you know me
Make it come out alright
And wrap it in glory
For one Irish rover
For one Irish rover
For one Irish rover
One Irish rover
One Irish rover
One Irish rover |
Theres a small cafe on the outskirts of town
Ill be there when the sun goes down
Where the roadside bends
And it twists and turns
Every new generation
And Ill be praying to my higher self
Dont let me down, keep my feet on the ground
Theres a roadside jam playin on the edge of town
In a town called Paradise near the ancient highway
When the train whistle blows
All the sadness that Hank Williams knows
And the river flows
Call them pagan streams and it spins and turns
In a factory in a street called Bread in East Belfast
Where Georgie knows best
What its like to be Daniel in the lions den
Got so many friends only most of the time
When the grass is high and the rabbit runs
Though its talkin to you and i
And every new generation comes to pay
The dues of the organ grinder jam
And the grinders switch of the sacrifice
Everybody made to be rational with understanding
And Ill be praying to my higher self
Oh, dont let me down, keep my feet on the ground
What about all the people living in the nightmare hurt
That wont go away no matter how hard they try
Theyve got to pay time and time again, time and time again
Ill be praying to my higher self
And Ill be standin there, where the boats go by
When the sun is sinking way over the hill
On a Friday evening when the sun goes down
On the outskirts of town, I wanna slip away
I wanna slip away, got to get away
And Ill be praying to my higher self
Dont let me down, keep my feet on the ground, dont let me down
Youll be cryin again, youll be cryin again, youll be cryin again
By the same wipe the teardrops from your eyes
Have to slip away in the evening when the sun goes down
Over the hill, with a sense of wonder
Everything gonna be right on a Friday evening
All the cars go by all along down
The ancient highway
And Ill be praying, Ill be praying to my higher self
Dont let me down, keep my feet, keep my feet on the ground
Keep my feet on the ground
Travelling like a stranger in the night, all along the ancient highway
Got you in my sights, got you on my mind
Ill be praying in the evening when the sun goes down
Over the mountain, got to get you right in my sight
As the beams on the cars from the overpass
On the ancient highway shine like diamonds in the night
Like diamonds in the night
Ill be praying to my higher self, to my higher self
Dont let me down, dont let me down
And youll be standing there, while the boats go by
While the boats go by on a Friday evening
Shining your light, shining your light on a Friday evening
Got to slip away, got to slip away down that ancient highway
In a town called Paradise, in a town, in a town
All along, all along that road, all along that road
All along that road with the trancelike vision
Ill be praying to my higher self, dont let me down, dont let me down
Keep my feet on the ground, keep my feet on the ground
Keep my feet on the ground
Friday evening got to slip away
Watching the view from a car from the overpass
And were driving down that ancient road
Shining like diamonds in the night, oh diamonds in the night
All along the ancient highway
Got you in my sight, got you in my mind
Got you in my arms and Im praying, and Im gonna pray
Im gonna pray, to my higher self, ah dont let me down
Dont let me down, give me the fire, ah give me the fire |
Well you know sometimes it gets so hard
And everything dont seem to rhyme
I take a walk out in my backyard and go
Do do loo do do, do do loo do do
Waiting for the sun to shine
And you know sometimes it gets so painful
Just like talking to yourself
When everything dont seem to have no rhyme or reason we all go
Do do loo do do, do do loo do do
Waiting for the sun to shine
We move along
Keep singing our song
Straight to your heart like a cannonball
La la ti da, la la ti da...
Doo do loo do do.....
Waiting for the sun to shine
Well you know, everyday we hear it through the grapevine
Thats why Im so tired of hearing it through the grapevine anymore
Because you hear it through the grapevine
Its just a dirty rotten waste of time, we go
Do do loo do do
While waiting for the sun to shine
We move along
Keeping singing our song
Straight to your heart like a cannonball
La la ti da, la la ti da...
Doo do loo do do.....
We move along
Keep singing our song |
We were the wild children
Born 1945
When all the soldiers came marching home from war
With love looks in their eyes, in their eyes
Tennessee, Tennessee Williams
Let your inspiration flow
Let it be around when we hear the sound
Of the springtime rivers flow, rivers flow
Steiger and Marlon Brando
With their heads bowed on the side
Cryin like babies thinkin bout the time
James Dean took that ride, took that ride
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Tennessee Williams
Let your inspiration flow
Let it be around when we hear the sound
Of the springtime rivers flow, of the rivers flow
And Steiger and Marlon Brando
With their heads bowed on the side
Cryin like babies thinkin bout the time
James Dean took that ride, took that ride
And we were the wild children
1945
When all the soldiers came marching home from war
With love looks in their eyes, in their eyes, in their eyes
And its a new dawn on a new day
And its a new dawn on a new day |
A foggy day
Down in London town
Had me down
I viewed the morning with too much alarm
Trafalgar Square had lost its charm
How long I wondered
Could this thing last
But the age of miracles
Had not passed
For suddenly the sun of smile
Loosened and did lift
Well in foggy London town, the sun kept shinin
Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere
Well, foggy day
In London town
Had me feelin low
Baby, I was feelin so down
That I viewed the mornin
Viewed the mornin with alarm
The British Museum
British Museum seemed to lose all its charm
For so long I wondered
Will the sun last?
For the age of miracles
Thank God hadnt passed, man
Then I saw babe, I saw you standin right there
In foggy London town, the sun kept shinin
Everywhere
And the nightingale sang
In Berkeley Square
Nightingale Singin
Berkeley Square
Nightingale Sang
In Berkeley Square
Oh, foggy day |
Oh the warm feeling
As we sat beside the sea
Oh the warm feeling
As I sat by you
Like a child within the kingdom
As we sat beside the sea
Oh the warm feeling
As I sat by you
And it filled me with devotion
And it made me plainly see
And it healed all my emotions
As I sat by you
As we sat inside the sunshine
And we sat beside the sea
Oh the warm feeling
As I sat by you
And it filled me with religion
And it gave great comfort to me
Oh the warm feeling
As I sat by you
Oh the warm feeling
As we sat beside the sea
Oh the warm feeling
As I sat by you |

Our love a secret
Oh! Shenandoah
Away, Im bound away
Cross the wide Missouri
Oh Shenandoah
Shes bound to leave you
Away you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah
Ill not deceive you
Away, Im bound away
Cross the wide Missouri |
You give your hand to me and then you say hello
And I can hardly speak - my heart is beating so
And anyone can tell you think you know me well
You dont know me
Now you dont know one who longs for you each night
And longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight
You know I am just a friend
Thats all Ive ever been
You dont know me
I never knew the art of making love
Til my heart yearned with love you
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
The chance you might have loved me too
You give your hand to me and then you say good-bye
I watch you walk away beside some lucky guy
To never, never know the one who loves you so
Cause you dont know me |
You were watchin from the lawn with your friends
Drink in your hand, swayin along to the music
Didnt think that I had a chance when I asked you to dance
And I played it cool, but I was losin
Its so crazy, lookin back lately
How we ended up here
And one day, when were eighty, you and I, baby
Were gonna see it so clear
You make me wanna dance
You make me wanna sing
You make me wanna ask for your hand
Wanna give you a ring
I got some plans, Ill do anything
Always love you as much as I did when we were sixteen
Every day and all night
Just me and my brown-eyed girl
Ill lovе you the rest of my life
Causе, baby, youre my brown-eyed girl
We were sittin on the dock on the lake
Watchin the day disappear into the water
And in a minute everything changed, I play it back everyday
And I cant wait to meet our daughter
Its so crazy, lookin back lately
How we ended up here
And one day, when were eighty, you and I, baby
Were gonna see it so clear
You make me wanna dance
You make me wanna sing
You make me wanna ask for your hand
Wanna give you a ring
I got some plans, Ill do anything
Always love you as much as I did when we were sixteen
Every day and all night
Just me and my brown-eyed girl
Ill love you the rest of my life
Cause, baby, youre my brown-eyed girl
Cause, baby, youre my brown-eyed girl
Cause, baby, youre my brown-eyed girl
Its so crazy, lookin back lately
How we ended up here
And one day, when were eighty, you and I, baby
Were gonna see it so clear
You make me wanna dance
You make me wanna sing
You make me wanna ask for your hand
Wanna give you a ring
I got some plans, Ill do anything
Always love you as much as I did when we were sixteen
Every day and all night
Just me and my brown-eyed girl
Ill love you the rest of my life
Cause, baby, youre my brown-eyed girl
Cause, baby, youre my brown-eyed girl
Cause, baby, youre my brown-eyed girl |
Oh dont it get you
Get you when youre through
Feel the breezes blowing all around your coat
Oh dont it get you
When you gotta roam
Hear the children singing
Daddys coming home
Going down to old old woodstock
Feel the cool night breeze
Going down to old old woodstock
Going down to give my baby a squeeze
Going down to old old woodstock
Feel the cool night breeze
Going down to old old woodstock
Way behind the shady trees
Here I come a swaggering
Way on over the ridge
See the water flowing way beneath the bridge
And my womans waiting
By the kitchen door
Im driving along
In my old beat up car
Going down to old old woodstock
Feel the cool night breeze
Going down to old old woodstock
Give my child a squeeze
Going down to old old woodstock
To feel the cool night breeze
Going down to old old woodstock
Way behind the shady trees
Listen, Oh dont it get you
Get you in your throat
Feel the breezes blowing
All around your coat
Lord dont it get you
When youre bound to roam
Hear your children sing
Daddys coming home
Going down to old old woodstock
To feel the cool night breeze
Give my child a squeeze
Going down to old old woodstock
To feel the cool night breeze
Going down to old old woodstock
Way behind the shady trees
Going down to old old woodstock..... |
Hey where did we go
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow
Playin a new game
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin and you
My brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl
Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down the old mind
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hiding behind a rainbows wall
Slipping and sliding
All along the water fall, with you
My brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
So hard to find my way
Now that Im all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My how you have grown
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime Im overcome thinking bout
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da |
We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won
As we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly
Into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows, I will be coming home
And when the fog horn blows, I want to hear it
I dont have to fear it
And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And magnificently we will fold
Into the mystic
When that fog horn blows, you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows, I gotta hear it
I dont have to fear it
And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will fold
Into the mystic
Come on, girl
Too late to stop now |
On a golden autumn day returning
Where each moment never is the same
And pure joy sometimes comes with patience
When Im waiting on, waiting game
When Im waiting on, waiting game
Must be reason for all this inaction
Does it mean that everything must change?
Sometimes Im looking for perfection
When Im waiting on, waiting game
When Im waiting on, waiting game
I am the observer who is observing
I am the brother of this snake
I am the serpent filled with venom
A god of love and a god of hate
There is a presence deep within you
Sometimes they call it higher flame
And the leaves come tumbling down, remember
Ill be waiting on, waiting game
Ill be waiting on, waiting game
I am the observer who is observing
I am the brother of this snake
I am the serpent filled with venom
A god of love and a god of hate
There is a presence deep within you
Some people call it higher power in flame
When the leaves come tumbling down, remember
Ill be waiting on, waiting game
Ill be waiting on, waiting game
Waiting on the waiting game
Waiting on
Waiting on
Waiting on
When Im called
Ill come the waiting game |

Who would think you could ever be touched by a total stranger?
Nah, not me
But when you came up to me that day and I listened to your story
It reminded me so much of myself
And I listened to you
It wasnt what you said it was just the way it felt to me
As I listened to your story
About a search and a journey
Somewhere inside yeah hey hey hey hey hey
Just like mine
Will you be my baby
Will you be my baby now
Will you be my baby
Will you be my baby now
Angelou oh Angelou

And my story, it got no words
It goes something like this
Oooooooohh
Yeaaaaaaah
Angelou

The world is full of wonders
Its never far away
Its right before your eyes
Every single day
Look of lovers walking hand in hand
Sound of music from a big band
Antique market in the village square
Pretty waitress with the long blonde hair
You can find something every day
Take your breath away
World is filled with wonders
No matter what they say
You dont have to wait for mountains
Lift your spirits high
Wide oceans or deep valleys
Or eagles flying by
Wonders all around us
And life is all weve got
If you wait for mountains then youre
Gonna miss a lot
Look of lovers walking hand in hand
Sound of music from a big band
Antique market in the village square
Pretty waitress with the long blonde hair
You dont have to wait
Lift your spirits high
Cause love is all around us
Thats the reason why
Love is all around us
Love is all weve got
If we wait for mountains then
Gonna miss a lot |
One goes on stage, the other goes home
One’s got friends and the other’s alone
One writes the words and one performs the songs
Two different roles, in two different worlds
Double agent, do you concur?
Double agent, when the lines start to blur
Renegade Sir
One must succumb to the mind control
One gives his all to rock and roll
One is an asset of MI5
One keeps on looking at stars in their eyes
Double agent, do you concur?
Double agent, when lines start to blur
And strange things occur
Some slipped under the radar
Some got compromised
Some played a good game
And others were spies
Some drank the Kool-aid
Some did the right thing
But some moved on over to the dark side
Double agent, do you concur
Double agent, when lines start to blur
And strange things occur
Some said never desert
A comrade in need
Some planted cocaine
Some smoked the weed
Some gave the retort
“Do you know who I am?”
One wrote the report
One didn’t give a damn
Double agent, do you concur?
Double agent, when lines start to blur
Renegade Sir
Renegade Sir
Double agent, do you concur?
Double agent, when lines start to blur
Renegade Sir
Renegade
Renegade
Got to go renegade
Got to go renegade
When lines start to blur
Renegade Sir

Been, deep in the heart of Texas
Been in the heart of Down
Been up on Highway One, child
Man, I’ve been around
I’ve been there in the beginning
When twelve shillings was a pound
I’ve been here long enough to know that
What goes around just comes around
I’m going down, County Up
I’m going up, County Down
I’m going down, County Up
I’m going up, County Down
Is it Kathleen?
Is it Maureen?
Is It Eileen?
Is it Irene Goodnight?
Well I may as well be
In the County Down
Well I may as well be
In the County Down
Well I may as well be
In the County Down
Well I may as well be
In the County Down
I was playing at the Whiskey
When The Doors were opening up
Sometimes I sat there drinking
From a poisoned cup
Somebody told me about a garden
I was headed towards the beach
Back then it seemed the Holy Grail
Was always out of reach
I’m going down, County Up
I’m going up, County Down
I’m going down, County Up
I’m going up, County Down
Is it Kathleen?
Is it Maureen?
Is It Eileen?
Singing Irene Goodnight
Well I may as well be
In the County Down
Well I may as well be
In the County Down
Well I may as well be
In the County Down
Well I may as well be
In the County Down
Well you meet the same people on the way up
As you do on the way down
There’s always somebody trying
To steal somebody else’s crown
When you lose your point of reference
And it goes, nothing more to know
Got to go right back to where those
Healing waters flow
I’m going down, County Up
I’m going up, County Down
I’m going down, County Up
I’m going up, County Down
Is it Kathleen?
Is it Maureen?
Is It Eileen?
Singing Irene Goodnight
Well I may as well be
In the County Down
Well I may as well be
In the County Down
Well I may as well be
In the County Down
Well I may as well be

Ice cream in my cherry pie, pie

Sold me out for a few shekels and divided up my robes
They sold me out
Its the oldest story thats ever been told
They sold me out
Didnt even give me no shred of doubt, no, no
They sold me out
Didnt even sit down and try to figure it out
They just sold me out
For a few shekels more they didnt even think twice
For a few shekels more; another minute in the spot light
My own people did it to me just cause they could
They sold me out
So beware brother it could happen to you
They sold me out
For a few shekels more they didnt even think twice
Just for a few shekels more, another minute or two in the spot light
My own people did it to me, just cause they could
They sold me out
Got to beware brother it just might happen to you
They sold me out
Sold me out for a few shekels and they divided up my robes

I saw you standing with the wind and the rain in your face
And you were thinking bout the wisdom of the leaves
And their grace
When the leaves come falling down
In September when the leaves come falling down
And at night the moon is shining on a clear, cloudless sky
But when the evening shadows fall Ill be there by your side
When the leaves come falling down
In September when the leaves come falling down
Follow me down, follow me down, follow me down
To the place beside the garden and the wall
Follow me down, follow me down
To the space before the twilight and the dawn
Oh, the last time I saw Paris in the streets, in the rain
And as I walk along the boulevards with you, once again
And the leaves come falling down
In September when the leaves, leaves come falling down
Follow me down, follow me down, follow me down
To the place between the garden and the wall
Follow me down, follow me down
To the space between the twilight and the dawn
And as Im looking at the colour of the leaves in your hand
As were listening to Chet Baker on the beach in the sand
When the leaves come falling down
Whoa, in September when the leaves come falling down
Oh when the leaves come falling down
Yeah, in September when the leaves come falling down
When the leaves come falling down
In September when the leaves, leaves come falling down
When the leaves come falling down in September in the rain
When the leaves come falling down
When the leaves come falling down in September in the rain
When the leaves come falling down |
Out of touch with memories and feelings
Of those early days of rock and roll
Sometimes life just doesnt have no meaning
People just dont seem to have no soul
So I have to go right back to the beginning
And let that healing music flow
Get back in touch with memories and feelings
Of the early days of rock and roll
Those early days
In so many ways
Brings a joyous feeling to my soul
Those early days
In so many ways
Early days of rock and roll
Out of touch with memories and feelings
Of the early days of rock and roll
Sometimes life just doesnt have no meaning
People just dont seem to have no soul
Well then I got to go right back to the beginning
And let that healing music flow
Get in touch with memories and feelings
Of the early days of rock and roll
Those early days
In so many ways
Brings a joyous feeling to my soul
Those early days
In so many ways
I hear those early days of rock and roll
Those early days
In so many ways
Brings a joyous feeling to my soul
Got to go right back to the beginning
To those early days of rock and roll |
Tá mo chleamhnas déanta ó athrú aréir
Sní mó ná go dtaithníonn an bhean liom féin
Ach fágfaidh mé i mo dhiaidh í
gus imeoidh mé liom féin
Ar fud na gcoillte craobhach
My match it was made here last night
To a girl I neither love nor like
But Ill take my own advice
And leave her behind
And go roaming the wild woods all over
Shiúil mise thoir agus shiúil mise thiar
Shiúil mise Corcaigh gus sráide Bhláth Cliath
Ach sámhail de mo chailin deas ni fhaca mise riamh
Si an bhean dubh a dhfhág mo chroí cráite
I walked up and I walked down
I walked Cork, and Dublin, and Belfast towns
But no equal to my true love could I find
Shes the wee lass thats left my heart broken
Déirigh mé ar maidin dhá uair roimh an lá
gus fuair mé litir ó mó mhile ghrá
Chuala mé an smóilin s an londubh á rá
Gur ealiagh mo ghrá thar sáile
I got up two hours before day
And I got a letter from my true love
I heard the blackbird and linnet say
That my love had crossed the ocean |
Across the bridge where angels dwell
Across the bridge where angels
Across the bridge where angels dwell
Children play
Beyond the place where time is still
Beyond the place where time is
Beyond the place where time is still
Night is day
Close your eyes in fields of wonder
Close your eyes and dream
Close your eyes in fields of wonder
Close your eyes and dream
Along the path where heaven lies
Along the path where heaven
Along the path where heaven lies
All is clear
Ahead where home awaits the heart
Ahead where home is waiting
Ahead where home awaits the heart
Peace is near
Close your eyes in fields of wonder
Close your eyes and dream
Close your eyes in fields of wonder
Close your eyes and dream
Across the bridge where angels dwell
Across the bridge where angels
Across the bridge where angels dwell
Children play |
I got nothing I can give you
I got no money in the bank
I got nothing I can give you

The Brown-Eyed Girl
You, my Brown-Eyed Girl
Do you remember when, ah we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
La dee dah |
Now baby just lately youve been holding back too much
Your looks and my language, this could be the perfect touch
What you are asking fits with everything on my list
This could be the perfect fit
Tell me that its madness to want something quite like this
But they dont understand the magic that I cant resist
Oh and wouldnt it be so tragic if everything just went amiss
And this could be the perfect fit
They say no one is perfect
Some people might take the piss
And we say were just friends, come on
Tell me whats wrong with this
But I say keep it simple
When we havent started yet
And this could be the perfect fit
See that dress youre wearing
Say it suits you right down to the ground
Tell me where in my world a better loving woman can be found?
Well Ive searched high and low now
And from where that you and I sit
And this could be the perfect fit
See that dress youre wearing
Suits you right down to the ground
Tell me where in my world a better loving woman can be found?
And Ive searched high and low now
And from where that you and I sit
Baby, this could be the perfect fit
Baby, this could be the perfect fit
Come on baby, this could be the perfect fit
Fit, fit, fit, fit, fit, fit, fit, fit, say again
This could be the perfect fit
Fit, fit, fit, fit, fit, fit, fit, fit, fit
This could be the perfect fit |
Underlying depression
Have to crawl into my room
Underlying depression
Dont want to know about the moon in June
Outside theres a cavalcade of clowns
But they`re just bringing me down
With underlying depression
Underlying depression
And its starting in my backyard
Underlying depression
And these times aint even so hard
Lord I was born with the blues
And my blue suede shoes
And underlying depression
Underlying depression
And theres just nowhere to turn
Underlying depression
And things just seem to turn in on one
Sometimes Im stuck here in the corner
Just like Little Jack Horner
With underlying depression
Underlying depression
And I just cant get it right
Underlying depression
Ive got to fight it with all my might
Right now I dont want to be alone
Get my baby on the telephone
Underlying depression
Have to make some concessions
When everything is working right
Have to count my blessings
Helps me make it through the night
Ive got love in my life
As well as trouble and strife
And underlying depression
And underlying depression
And underlying depression
And underlying depression
Aint nothing but the blues
Underlying depression aint nothing but the blues
Underlying depression aint nothing but the blues
Underlying depression |
No good deed goes unpunished
When it starts to unravel on you
You think the person is gonna be sorry
And they’re gonna take the time to say thank you
Booked her to the top restaurant table
But she said she didn’t like the meal
I got her tickets for the opera
But she complained about the VIP seats
Gave her a million Euro
Said that it wasn’t enough
How come when she’s still fit and able
She’s still too lazy to go out and work
No amount is enough for her
I feel the emptinеss inside
It’s the greed and evеrything she needs
But she’ll never be satisfied
No simple rule you’re missing
There’s no such thing as a free lunch
Someone had to work a while and get it
And everything has got a price
Remember this one simple piece of advice
That everybody should know
Everything has got its price
You’ve got to reap just what you sow
Gave you a million Euros
Said that it wasn’t enough
How come when you’re still fit and able
You’re too lazy to go out and work
No good deed goes unpunished
When it starts to unravel on you
No good deed goes unpunished
No matter what good you try to do
No good deed goes unpunished
You’ll find out when it happens to you
No good deed goes unpunished
No matter what good you try to do
Oh, no matter what good you try to do
Oh, no matter what good you try to do
Oh, no matter what good you try to do |
The fields, the fields
Are always wet with rain
After a summer shower
When I saw you standing
You were standing in the garden
In the garden all misty wet with rain
Misty wet with rain
You wiped the teardrops
From your eyes in sorrow
And we watched the petals
Fall down to the ground
And I sat beside you
I felt this great sadness that day, yeah
When we were standing in the garden
And then, and then, one day
You came back home
You were a creature all in rapture, yeah
You had a key to your soul
And you did open that day
When you came back to the garden
Yeah, the olden summer breeze
Was blowin on your face
Yeah, an the light was shinin
On your countenance divine
You were a violet colour
As you sat beside your father and your mother
In the garden
Summer breeze was blowin on your face-a
In the silence you treasure your summery words
Shiver from my neck down to my spine
Ignited me in daylight and nature
In the garden
Yeah, you fell, you fell, you fell
You fell, you fell into a trance
Vision became so fine
Yeah, we heard the bells
Within the church, we loved so much, yeah
It went like this:
As I touched your cheeks so lightly
Feel like you were born again
An again, an again, an again, an again
And we felt the presence
Of the youth of a thousand summers
In the garden
Van: One more time for Jonn Savannah

Up on Broadway
Far away from trouble
Up on Broadway, baby
Feel liek were living in a bubble
And the city lights
Stretching out way down below
Up on Broadway, baby
It’s where I wanna go
Up on Broadway
When the night is quiet and still
Up on Broadway, baby
High upon the hill
Stretching out across the bay
And the early morning light
Up on Broadway
Man, its outta sight
Down to North Beach
In the parks of the West
Thats the place that I like to go
Like to go the best
Take a walk with me
Just to see what we can see

Sounds just like a symphony
Up on Broadway, Broadway, Broadway, Broadway
So far away, far away from trouble

Feel like we’re living in a bubble
And the city lights are stretching
Stretching way down in the city down below

Lie by my side in the still of the night
And morning brings forth all its wonderous delight
You couldnt have made it more plain
When I hear that soft refrain
And I hear you gently sigh
I wanna take you where flamingoes fly, flamingoes fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
Thats where flamingoes fly
Lie in the dark with the sweet sound of the nightingale
And listen for lark, and I will tell you a tale
Of winds blowin, blowin outside
I wanna take that moonlight ride
When I hear you gently sigh
I wanna take you where flamingoes fly, flamingoes fly
Way over yonder, yeah in the clear blue sky
Thats where flamingoes fly
Silently waiting for that morning light to shine
Yeah, and Im looking at you, looking at me
And Im looking at you
And anticipating
Each and every, each and every sign
And Im looking at you, looking at me
And Im looking at you, looking at me
Looking at you, looking at me, looking at you
I follow the road that will take me, take me back home
And carry that load where the deer and the provincial angels roam
Happiness touches me now
Who knows where it came from and how, but
When I hear you gently sigh
I wanna, wanna take you where flamingoes fly, flamingoes fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
Thats where flamingoes fly, flamingoes fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
Thats where flamingoes fly
You see those flamingoes fly
Ya see those, ya see those, ya see those
Ya see those, ya see those, ya see those flamingoes fly
Look over yonder, look over yonder, darling
Look over yonder, darling
Ya take it by the ocean, ya take it, ya take it by the ocean |
The way you see me walking on
Thats why Im telling you in song
Theres only one way to get ahead
Youve got to give it up instead
Start all over again
You see me standing on the bridge
I see the sunset in my view
The field looks colorful to me
I know theres more than I can see
We can start all over again
Made it, made it, made it
Made it through the wintertime
Made it through the spring
Made it through the summer
And the fall
Thats why Im giving you the time
You always wanted your own mind
The way is up to you and me
And theres horizons yet to see
When we start all over again |
Professional jealousy can bring down a nation
And personal invasion can ruin a man
Not even his family will understand whats happening
The price that hes paying or even the pain
Professional jealousy started a rumour
And then it extended to be more abuse
What started out as just black propaganda
Was one day seen to be believed as truth
They say the truth is stranger than fiction
But a lie is more deadly than sin
It can make a man very bitter and angry
When he thinks that theres someone is going to win
Professional jealousy makes others crazy
They think youve got something that they dont have
What they dont understand is its not that easy
To cover the miles and be where you are
They say the truth is stranger than fiction
But a lie is more deadly than sin
It can make men bitter, bitter and angry
When they think that someone else is going to win
Professional jealousy makes other people crazy
When they think youve got something that they dont have
What they dont understand is its just not easy
To cover it all and stand where you stand
Professional jealousy makes no exception
It can happen to anyone at any time
The only requirement is knowing whats needed
And then delivering whats needed on time
The only requirement is to know what is needed
In doing the best you know how, deliver on time
The only requirement is to know what is needed
Be best at delivering the product on time |
Tried to do the right thing for my baby
For my baby tried to do the right thing
Tried to do the right thing for my baby
Don’t mean maybe, tried to do the right thing
I’m facing all this resistance
Cause the wisdom of my decision was flawed
I was promised it would be just our business
But I found out so many people were involved
Can’t go forward, can’t go back
Weighing up the situation
Did you ever feel like you were caught up in
Some kind of suspended animation?
Now I’m certainly no hero
But all the goodwill I gave them
Now just means zero
Tried to do thе right thing for my baby
But it all went wrong
And I just got conned
Can’t go forward, can’t go back
Just weighing up
Wеighing up the situation
Feel like I’ve been caught up
In some kind of suspended animation
Now I’m certainly no hero
But all the goodwill I gave them
Turned into zero
Tried to do the right thing for my baby
But everything went wrong
And I just got conned
Tried to do the right thing for my baby
Don’t mean maybe, tried to do the right thing
Tried to do the right thing for my baby
But it all gone wrong
And I just got conned
Tried to do the right thing for my baby
But it all went wrong
Do the right thing for my baby
And I just got conned
I just got conned |
Its not easy bein green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer bein red or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that
Its not easy bein green
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over
Cause youre not standing out like flashy sparkles
On the water or stars in the sky
But green is the color of spring
And green can be cool and friendly like
And green can be big like an ocean
Or important like a mountain or tall like a tree
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why
But why wonder, why wonder?
I am green and itll do fine, its beautiful
And I think its what I want to be |
Let the slave grinding at the mill run out into the field
Let him look up into the heavens and laugh in the bright air
Let the enchained soul shut up in darkness and in sighing
Whose face has never seen a smile in thirty weary years
Rose and look out, his chains are loose, his dungeon doors are open
And let his wife and children return from the oppressors scourge
They look behind at every step and believe it is a dream
Singing, the sun has left his blackness and has found a fresher morning
And the fair moon rejoices in the clear and cloudless night
For empire is no more
And now the lion and wolf shall cease
For everything that lives is holy
For everything that lives is holy
For everything that lives is holy
For everything that lives is holy
What is the price of experience? Do men buy it for a song?
Or wisdom for a dance in the street? No, it is bought with the price
Of all that a man hath, his house, his wife, his children
Wisdom is sold in the desolate market where none come to buy
And in the withered field where the farmer plows for bread in vain
It is an easy thing to triumph in the summers sun
And in the vintage and to sing on the wagon loaded with corn
It is an easy thing to talk of patience to the afflicted
To speak the laws of prudence to the homeless wanderer
To listen to the hungry ravens cry in wintry season
When the red blood is filled with wine and with the marrow of lambs
It is an easy thing to laugh at wrathful elements
To hear the dog howl at the wintry door
The ox in the slaughter house moan
To see a God on every wind and a blessing on every blast
To hear sounds of love in the thunder storm
That destroys our enemies house
To rejoice in the blight that covers his field
And the sickness that cuts off his children
While our olive and vine sing and laugh round our door
And our children bring fruits and flowers
Then the groan and the dolor are quite forgotten
And the slave grinding at the mill
And the captive in chains and the poor in the prison
And the soldier in the field
When the shattered bone hath laid him groaning
Among the happier dead
It is an easy thing to rejoice in the tents of prosperity
Thus, could I sing and thus, rejoice but it is not so with me |
Half a mile from the county fair
And the rain came tumbling down
Me and Billy standin there
With a silver half a crown
Hands are full of a fishing rods
And the tackle on our backs
We just stood there gettin wet
With our backs against the fence
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Hope it dont rain all day
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
Yes, it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like going home
And it stoned me
When the rain let up and the sun came out
And we were gettin dry
Almost let a pick-up truck nearly pass us by
But we jumped right in and the driver grinned
And he dropped us up the road
We looked at the swim and we jumped right in
Not to mention fishing poles
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Let it run all over me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
Yes, it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like going home
And it stoned me
On the way back home we sang a song
But our throats were getting dry
Then we saw the man from across the road
With the sunshine in his eyes
Well he lived all alone in his own little home
With a great big gallon jar
There were bottles too, one for me and you
And he said, Hey! Here you are
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Get it myself from the mountain stream
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
Yes, it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like going home
And it stoned me
Yes, it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
Yes, it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like going home
And it stoned me |
Oh, she give me moonshine whiskey

Deep in the heart of Texas
There beneath the stars above
Oh, she give me southern comfort
Oh, she give me moonshine love
Deep in the heart of Texas

Part from Arkansas

Across the floor
And a band was playing
People were swayin, to and fro
Streamline promenade

Listen, here we are
Thinking about time
When I resist here and now
And I just want to lie my feet on a river bed instead
Cant wait any longer
For the sign
I want to get down some time in the water
Watch the fish in the water
Bubbles, watch the bubbles come up in the water
Promenade streamline in the water
Streamline promenade, get funky
Promenade streamline, funky as you want to be

Foghorns blowing in the night
Salt sea air in the morning breeze
Driving cars all along the coastline
This must be what its all about
Oh this must be what its all about
This must be what paradise is like
So quiet in here, so peaceful in here
So quiet in here, so peaceful in here
Warm look of radiance on your face

This must be what its all about
Oh this must be what its all about
This must be what paradise is like
So quiet in here. so peaceful in here

Oh this must be what paradise is like
This must be what paradise is like
Its so quiet in here, its so peaceful in here
Its so quiet in here, its so peaceful in here
A glass of wine with some friends
Talking into the wee hours of the dawn
Sit back and relax your mind
This must be, this must be what its all about
This must be what paradise is like
Oh this must be what paradise is like, yeah
Its so quiet in here, its so peaceful in here
So quiet in here, so peaceful in here
Big ships out in the night
And were floating across the waves
Sailing for some other shore
Where we can be what we wanna be
Oh this must be what paradise is like, yeah
This must be what paradise is like
Baby its so quiet in here, so peaceful in here

I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
You know I am lonely
And in need of your company

I can hear the sound of violins
I can hear the piper play
And every time the song begins
You just steal my heart away
The journeys longer than
I thought my love
Theres lots of things that
Get in the way
But every time I think of you
You just steal my heart away
Just like a morning
In May like this
See the heather on the hill
Theres a place way up
The mountainside
Where the world
Keeps standing still
Just like the sunshine after rain
Ill come
To be with you will save the day
Cause I know
When Im with you again
You just steal my heart away
Just like a morning
In May like this
We see the heather on the hill
Theres a place up on
The mountainside
Where the world is
Standing still
Just like the sunshine after the rain
Ill come
To be with you will the save the day
Cause I know
When Im with you again
You just steal my heart away
Cause I know
When Im with you again
You just steal my hear away
Cause I know
When Im with you again
You just steal my heart away |
We didnt know no better, and they said it could be worse
Some people thought it was blessing
Other people think that its a curse
Its a choice between fact and fiction
And the whole world has gone astray
Thats why theres no religion, no religion, no religion here today
And theres no straight answers
Of what this thing called love is all about
Some say its unconditional
Other people just remain in doubt
Well I cleaned up my diction, I had nothing left to say
Except theres no religion, no religion, no religion here today
And they ask what hate is
Its just the other side of love
Some people want to give their enemies
Everything they think that they deserve
Some say why dont you love your neighbours
Go ahead, turn the other cheek
But theres nobody on this planet that can ever be so meek
And I cant bleed for you
You have to do it your own way
And theres no religion, no religion, no religion here today
And they ask what hate is
Its just the other side of love
Some people want to give their enemies
Everything they think that they deserve
Some say why dont you love your neighbours
Go ahead, turn the other cheek
But have you ever met anybody whos ever been the meek
And its so cruel to expect the saviour to save the day
And theres no religion, no religion, no religion here today
And theres no mystery, and theres nothing hidden
And theres no religion here today
And theres no religion, no religion, no religion here today |
I can see
By the look on your face

Youve got ringworm
Oooh-oooh, oooh, oooh-oooh, oooh, oooh-oooh.... |
Well, the road just lets me down
Got to get off this merry-go-round
Got to move on from this town
Jet lags coming down
And Ive got bags under my eyes
Bags under my eyes
When am I gonna get wise?
Stop these bags under my eyes
Hotels and cities filled with noise
And the road is getting so old
Back in the seventies, Im told
But Im still out here on the go
And I got bags under my eyes
Bags under my eyes
When am I gonna get wise?
I got bags under my eyes
Meanwhile everybodys doing just fine
That I helped way down the line
Now that its payback time
I just want to get whats mine
I just had to realize
When I listen to so many lies
Well I guess its no surprise
Ive got bags under my eyes
Makin money is all very well
But if you end up like an empty shell
Whos gonna comfort you then?
When things aint going so well
How are you going to win
When youre in the shape youre in?
Baby, when are you gonna get wise?
Stop these bags under your eyes
I got bags under my eyes
Bags under my eyes
When am I gonna get wise?
Stop these bags under my eyes
When when when am I gonna get wise?
Stop these bags under my eyes
When when am I gonna get wise?
Stop these bags under my eyes
When am I gonna get wise?
I got bags under my eyes |

Way far past the rumblin station
Where the lonesome
Lonesome engines drivers pine

She got rainbow ribbons in her hair

Six white horses and a carriage, in a process

Aryan mist
Among the bridges
You hang by the river
Youve been here forever
Aryan mist
What can the matter be
In a world full of glamour
Does it lift you up
Or is it railway carriage charm
You just sit here
And look from your carriage
As you watch the scene go by
Gurus from the east
Gurus from the west
Does it lift you up
Or is it railway carriage charm
Aryan mist
Among the bridges
You hang by the river
Youve been here forever
Aryan mist
Aryan mist
Theres so many people
Going down by the river
Down by the river
To get clean
The fog of illusion
The fog of confusion
Is hanging all over the world
Gurus from the east
Gurus from the west
Does it lift you up
Or is it railway carriage charm
Aryan mist
Youve been here forever
Remind me of krishna
Love first sweet kiss
Aryan mist
Aryan mist
Among the bridges
You hang by the river
Youve been here forever
Aryan mist
Does it lift you up
Or is it railway carriage charm |
All the men would turn their head
When she walked down the street
Clothes are fine and hair that shine
Smiling oh so sweet, smiling oh so sweet
Got a taste of all religion
Comes on with the new
In her hair a yellow ribbon
And shes decked out all in blue
Oh yes in, decked out all in blue
Steppin lightly and steppin brightly
With her books in hand
Going to the university to teach them
Help them understand
And are helping em understand
And all the kids would love to see her
Follow in her steps
And tell her stories and adore her
Climb in through the fence
Climb in through the fence
Here she comes walking
Here she comes talking
I do believe its Madame Joy
Walking past that old street corner
And shes looking for her boy
Oh yes she is, looking for her boy
Steppin lightly, steppin brightly
With her books in hand
Going to the university to teach them
Help them understand
Yeah, help them understand
I was looking at the way she moved me
And I was seeing every side
Tell me, can I learn the language
Have you got the mind, have you got the mind
Here she comes walking
Here she comes talking
I do believe its Madame Joy
Shes walking by that old street corner
And shes looking for her boy
Oh yes looking for her boy
And all the men would turn their head

And smiling oh so sweet, oh yeah, shes smiling oh so sweet
Smiling, smiling oh so sweet, yeah, yeah, yeah

When that woman walked, when that woman walked
When that woman walked, what she wore
When that woman, when that woman, when that woman
When that woman, when that woman, when that woman
When that woman, when that woman, when that woman
When that woman, when that woman walked
She just walked
Just kept on walking down the street
When she walked, when she walked down
When she walked on down |
You can make out pretty good
When youre on your own
And you know just where you are
When you wanna roam
Got the moon above your head
And the road beneath your feet
Pull into a wooded glen
Make your own retreat

Laying underneath the stars
Can be so much fun
Especially when youre feeling good
When youre with the one you love
Sway to sounds of two guitars
Around the campfire bright
Then mellow out like violins
In the morning light
La da di di di di di

Gypsy!
No matter where you wander
And no matter where you roam
Any place you hang your hat
You know that that is home, check it out first
Sway to sounds of two guitars
Around the campfire bright
Then mellow out like old violins
In the morning light
