This Is Love
04:30
|
|||
all the times that I have waited for you, you never said a word
all the times that I have prayed for you, you didn't want to know
this is love in all it's bright spendor
this is love in all it's sweet pain
let it rain all over me
you were lying when I first saw you
worn out in the car
I approached you in my stupid way
you let me find you there
grew into love....
let it rain let it rain let them do what they will
let the same things happen over and over
I will never be a bricklayer,with his bucket and his grime
I will never work a liquor store, though I've been there many times
I'm a slightly weird musician, and I walk a fragile line
but I know love....
I will be free...

Bereft
03:30
|
|||
I loved you pretty well
we had joy
but then I lost you oh well
happens to every girl and boy
in a wheel we stand
and then we turn around
And we are bereft and grieving
waiting for them all to leave
When will you all be leaving
Bereft and Grieving
Over-achieving
Dance to be deceiving
I loved you very well
I was believing
that it would never end
and then the leaving
turning my face to tomorrow
I'll get by without you
Chorus
I'm leaving this place
It's enough more than enough my friends
I'm leaving
Chorus...

Can't Stay Mad At You
05:57
|
|||
I can't stay mad at you baby
cause I got better things to do
I shouldn't eat out my heart
but you know I do sometimes
the feast is on the table
why does it take so long to find out
it's a horrible world
but you can't let that get to you
I'm in love with you
and you're a shining light in my darkest night
so throw me a bone and I'll be happy
all through the day
all through the night
I remember all my time with you
everything we did everything we said
shining like a fire in my head
I can't stay mad at your baby
cause I got better things to do
I can't stay mad at you
cause I love you
that's what we need
everybody needs love
we need love
that's what we need
(instrumental)
I walk a thousand miles to shake off the Devil
trying to make me hate everybody
trying to make me give up oh no
cause you're a shining light in my darkness
and I need you by my side
when you can
Love is something we all need
something you can't shoot your way to
something you can't bomb your way to
drone your way to oh no
it's a human thing
not a machine
(choir)

Flying So High
03:37
|
|||
got run over by 2 beautiful young girls in a Chevrolet
they were laughing and looking straight at me
but they didn't stop and they hit me
and I flew up in the air
and I was
flying so high flying so high
flying so high
went by Boston went by Rye
flew over New York
went by Miami
Havana Mozambique Tirana
Hamburg Amsterdam London town
I was I was
flying so high flying so high
thought I'd have to come down
But I did and I would up in the same place with the same body
but I saw his face and he took me to the charm school
what's the rule?
you gotta let them kick you around sometimes
and I was I was
flying so high....
though I'd never have to come down...
flying so high....

Kentucky Mountains
04:24
|
|||
Sleep Father of movement
how many times will I lay in your arms
Mother of dreams
how many secrets and sweet unions before the morning
Awake during my rest
How many times will you sit by my side
and sweet loving feelings
drift in between us as we close our eyes
In the Kentucky Mountains
there is nothing so deep
as the peace in the mountains
when the rocks are asleep
woo woo sweetie pie etc
Red Eagle he sits on my shoulder
flies with my spirit through the moods all my moods
by which I slay him
but I always remember to chant his name
In the Kentucky Mountains.....
when the rock star's asleep

Keep Your Head Down
02:45
|
|||
keep your head down
don't make a sound
we'll walk away someday
in this place we're on our own
but this love is real
stand by me while the color fades
stand by me 'cross the naked blade
stand by me I wanna know you very well
time will tell
keep your head down...
don't let them know how you feel
all you've been through can't be for nothing
not if there's any justice in this world
take my hand and don't give up
we'll make it to the promised land
it's all right
doesn't matter what happens to us
keep your head down
don't make a sound
this world's on a course for destruction
we've been saved, don't have to worry
this is just the introduction
stand by me...keep your head down

Tomorrow 2
03:40
|
|||
Cold in my fingers
Cold in my toes
No one around
to pick up my clothes
I'm older than yesterday
but what about tomorrow
tomorrow tomorrow
may not come
Somebody told me
a long time ago
I was on a course for destruction
I'm glad that I listened
cause what about tomorrow
tomorrow tomorrow
may not come
You can have it
life on earth
you can have it
what is it worth
I"m older than yesterday etc
I'm getting a phone call
but it's nothing just a sales call
I'm older than yesterday
but what about tomorrow
tomorrow tomorrow
may not come

Object Constancy
03:34
|
|||
It's morning it's morning
and I"m alive I'm alive
the birds are singing like they always did
another day has arrived
it's morning it's morning
and I"m ok
the people have to go to work
they almost hit me
in their cars
they go so fast
It's morning it's morning
and I'm ok
she's getting up to yes I know
I saw her Tuesday
it's always good
the Lord is giving me
Object Constancy
with her
not to be a drag
not to be a drag
It's morning it's morning
and I'm alive
I love you so
I love you so

Hell
04:06
|
|||
If we're on our way through hell
well that's all right
you can never tell
what's just around the corner
and if we're going into the night
that's all right
this is not our fight
and you know you know you know
the flesh is weak and easily fooled
don't get fooled
we're on our way we're on our way
and we won't stop
no matter what goes down
or what the people say
and this love is stronger than the grave
more beautiful than diamonds
on the ocean waves
this love, older than the moon
sweeter than a symphony
or a flash of lightening in a night in June

Songbird
04:02
|
|||
for you there'll be no more crying
for you the sun will be shining
cuz I feel when I am with you
it's all right
I know it's right
to you I would give the world
to you I'll never be cold
cuz I feel when I am with you
it's all right
I know it's right
and the songbird keeps on singing like he knows the score
and I love you I love you I love you
like never before
and I wish you all the love in the world
but darling most of all
I wish it from myself
and the songbird keeps on singing like she knows the score
and I love you I love you I love you
like never before
like never before

Everything Is Gone
03:10
|
|||
everything is gone still I'm holding on all day and all night through the darkness I
and I will be there for you as long as I can yes I will be there I will be there till the sky goes black and I lose my way forever
into the night

till it's time you're just another dying person it's not the way I feel or the way I want it just the way it is can't do nothing about it ah

Walking In The Air
03:51
|
|||
it helps me to go out walking in the air
then I can remember he's always there
everthing just piles up and I get disturbed
I don't need some friendly advice
just a little time to straighten out my mind
and I'll be all right again
that's what I need I'll be right back
it helps me to know when I"m under attack
everything just piles up
it's a normal reaction
don't make it more than it is
let it be hold on you'll be all right again
I want to be your friend until the end
but it's not easy whoa
I want to be your friend until the end
cuz it's wonderful
it's not a sleighride it's a war
we will win it we will for sure
but in every battle you taste the bitter defeat
don't make it more than it is
hold on we'll be all right again
I want to be your friend until the end etc

Dog days long days no end in sight
no say no way to stop all the fighting
time is a steady force swallowing us all
how did we get so far away
from the way we used to be
take this little piece and make it a mountain
no one else can save the world
we are the fools breaking all the rules
how could it ever go some other way
children of the sea
walking on quicksand
fading to nothing
beautiful dreamers will never die
