Wasn't born to Follow

You know I'd rather go and journey where the diamond crest is flowing and
Run across the valley beneath the sacred mountain and
Wander through the forest
Where the the trees have leaves of prisms and break the light in colors
That no one knows the names of
And when it's time I'll go and wait beside a legendary fountain
Till I see her form reflected in it's clear and jewelled waters
And if you think I'm ready
You may lead me to the chasm where the rivers of our vision
Flow into one another
I will want to dive beneath the white cascading waters
She may beg, she may plead, she may argue with her logic
And mention all the things I'll lose
That really have no value in the end she will surely know
I wasn't born to follow

Let me down easy though your love for me is gone
Let me down easy since you feel to stay is wrong
I know it's all over but the last goodbye
Let me down easy
When you pass me by, say hello once in a while
When you pass me by, baby, does it hurt so much to smile?
We promised that we'd still be friends till the very end
I'm begging you, baby, please, let me down easy
I remember at the start, it was so nice=
I never thought we'd have to part
But it's all over but the last goodbye
Let me down easy, baby
Hum hum hum hum,let me down so easy baby
Let me down so easy baby
Let me down down down down, let me down so easy baby,oh oh oh
I dont want any more of your love, baby, let me down down, let me down so easy
Baby, oh oh, let me down so easy

Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky Stormy Weather
since my gal and I ain't together
its rainin all the time
Life is bare Gloom and misery everywhere Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor self together I'm weary all the time
when she went away the blues walked in and met me
If she stays away old rockin chair will get me
All I do is pray the Lord above with let me
walk in the sun once more
Can't go on, everything I had is gone Stormy Weather
since my gal and me ain't together keeps rainin all the time
I walk around heavy-hearted and sad Night comes around and I'm still feelin bad Rain pourin down blinding every hope I had' this pitterin patterin beatin and splatterin drives me mad
Love love love love this misery is just too much for me Can't go on etc... solo...end.

One on One

I'm tired of playing on the team
it seems I dont get time out anymore
What a change if we set the pace face to face
no one even trying to score
Oh oh I can feel the magic of your touch
and when you move in close a little bit means so much
Oh yeah you've got to understand baby
Time out is what I'm here for
One on one I want to play that game tonight
one on one oh yeah
One on one i want to play that game tonight
one on one so slow
You can't tell me you don't miss me girl
I think I might know you too well
Wonder what you'd say if you knew I was coming tonight
I want you can't you tell
One on one etc
that's all you need to know now
cuz if it's really right there's nothing else
one on one etc

Nowhere Man

He's a real nowhere man
sitting in his nowhere land
making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
isn't he a bit like me and you...etc

Solitude

in my Solitude
You haunt me
with dreadful ease
Of days gone by
IN my solitude
you taunt me
with memories
that never die
I sit in my chair
And filled with despair
There's no one could be so sad
With gloom everywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad
In my solitude
I'm afraid
Dear Lord above
send back my love

Crickets are chirpin' the water is high
There's a soft cotton dress on the line hangin' dry
The window's wide open, African trees
Bent over backwards from a hurricane breeze
Not a word of goodbye not even a note
She gone with the man in the long black coat
Somebody seen him hangin' around
At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town
He looked into her eyes when she stopped him to ask
If he wanted to dance, he had a face like a mask
Somebody said from the bible he'd quote
There was dust on the man in the long black coat
Preacher was talking there's a sermon he gave
He said, "Every man's conscience is vile and depraved
You cannot depend on it to be your guide
When it's you who must keep it satisfied"
It ain't easy to swallow, it sticks in the throat
She gave her heart to the man in the long black coat
There are no mistakes in life some people say
It is true sometimes, you can see it that way
But people don't live or die, people just float
She went with the man in the long black coat
There's smoke on the water, it's been there since June
Tree trunks unprooted beneath the high crescent moon
You feel the bombs hear the bullets the studying war
Somebody is out there beating on a dead horse
She never said nothing, there was nothing she wrote
She gone with the man in the long black coat
