Cyndi Lauper | What A Thrill | /c/cyndi+lauper/what+a+thrill_20035257.html | I dreamt last night that he held me tight
In a bar we knew way back when -
Drinkin' sloe gin
Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a sin
Oh then the band played "Goodnight, Sweetheart"
One more dance and we were ready to go.
From the spark heel boppin'
To the light of a steamed window.
Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a sin.
For a heart throb,
Too long gone to cry again
With them smoke-filled runaway kisses
Some so young
Chances are a million to one
You got me startin' to believe
That the thrill ain't never gone.
Then I woke up in the dark to a different sound
That was coming from my radio
They were playin' somethin' else
'sides "Go, Johnny, Go Go Go"
So I turned to my sweetie, said "Roll over, Honey
'Cause your mama's gonna show you some fun."
I said "Roll over, Honey, cause
The thrill ain't never gone."
Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a sin.
For a heart throb,
Too long gone to cry again
Those smoke-filled runaway kisses
Some so young
Chances are a million to one
You got me startin' to believe
That the thrill is never gone.

Cyndi Lauper | White Man's Melody | /c/cyndi+lauper/white+mans+melody_20035258.html | In the bosom of europa
Little liza was caressed
By the music of the angels
Playing underneath her dress
She saw the great caruso
And that's when she fell in love
She'd think of him as elvis
If she knew who elvis was
Spinning round and round
You can hear her moan
She's all by herself
But she's not alone
Wonderful things happen to me
Whenever I sing that white man's melody
Wonderful wave - wash over me
Whenever I sing that white man's melody
By the shores of the gitchee goomee
She was floating on her bed
She was deaming of al jolson
And what she thought he said
He was looking in the mirror
He was putting on the paint
Said the hardest thing about this job
Is being what you ain't
Just an old white man
In a strange new world
Can you come out tonight
Little buffalo girl
Wonderful things happen to me
Whenever I sing that white man's melody
Wonderful wave - wash over me
Whenever I sing that white man's melody
From the loins of the liberace
Sprang a million little tunes
And they whirled around eliza
Like so many little moons
Every jewel held a secret
Every flourish held a clue
As he held her in a rapture
Singing I'll be seeing you
Wonderful things happen to me
Whenever I sing that white man's melody
Wonderful wave - wash over me
Whenever I sing that white man's melody

Cyndi Lauper | Winter Wonderland | /c/cyndi+lauper/winter+wonderland_20511158.html | Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song
As we sing along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man
But you can do the job
When you're in town
Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
We'll face unafraid
The plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
Until the alligators knock him down
When it snows, ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play
The Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Walking in a winter wonderland
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Walking in a winter wonderland

The Land Of My Mother
The Place I Play
With Sisters And Brothers
The Trees Are Rooted
In The Ground Beneath
Take Away The Violence
Give The Earth Back Its Peace
This Is Our World
Our Common Salvation
It Knows No Borders
It Serves No Nation
The Same Sun Shines Equally
On Those Beneath
Take Away The Violence

There's Fire In The Ground
In The Space Between The Trees
In The Forests and Fields
On Pathways, In Dreams
The Stars Are Whispering
To The Ground Beneath
Take Away The Darkness

Who Painted The Green Grass Red
With Danger
Who Coloured The Big Sky Blue
With Sorrow
A Strong Wind Carrying Fear
And Anger
Came And Went And Stole Tomorrow
This Is My Home
The Land Of My Mother
The Place I Play
With Sisters And Brothers

Dan Fogelberg | A Cry In The Forest | /d/dan+fogelberg/a+cry+in+the+forest_20035810.html | There's a cry in the forest, it's feathered and brown
And it echoes off of nothing as the trees come down
It's the sound of a sparrow hittin' the ground
It's the sound of one eternity bound
It's the sound of one eternity bound
There's a cry in the oceans, it's plaintive and blue
And it rises from the depths, breaks my heart in two
It's the dreams of the great whales running aground
For they know that they're eternity bound
For they know that they're eternity bound
Whoa eternity bound
Once they've passed into the timeless, they can never more be found
Is there anybody listening, tell me can you hear the sound
Of the gentle ones eternity bound
Of the gentle ones eternity bound
There's a cry in the heart of every woman and man
We've been crying in the darkness since the world began
Will we ever seek forgiveness, will we ever earn the crown
Or are we in turn eternity bound
Or are we in turn eternity bound
Whoa eternity bound
Once we've past into the timeless, we can never more be found
Is there anybody listening, tell me can you hear the sound
Of the lonely ones eternity bound
Of the lonely ones eternity bound
Of the lonely ones eternity bound

Dan Fogelberg | Changing Horses | /d/dan+fogelberg/changing+horses_20035774.html | Changing horses in the middle of a stream
Gets you wet and sometimes cold
Changing faces in the middle of a dream
Gets you old
Oh, gets you old.
Looking farther than you'll ever hope to see
Takes you places you don't know
Search for someone you can't ever hope to be
And still you go
Oh, still you go.
Don't you think it's kind of sad to say,
Don't you think it's gonna change?
Makes you think you'll have to stay inside
For a while.
Changing horses in the middle of a stream
Gets you wet and sometimes cold
Changing faces in the middle of a dream
Gets you old.

Dan Fogelberg | False Faces | /d/dan+fogelberg/false+faces_20035741.html | Oil on canvas
Couplets and stanzas to divine who you are
Pencil portrayals and jealous betrayals
Get you further afar
Oh false faces and meaningless chases
I travel alone
Oh first places and calendar races
I need a home
Hostile hotel walls, footfalls and phone calls
And you're on the line
Gentle coercions and bitter desertions
When the truth is a lie
Oh false faces and meaningless chases
I travel alone
Oh first places and calendar races
I need a home
Lover twice yearly
That last battle nearly cost me the fight
Broke through the ice and got cut down to size
And escaped through the night
Oh false faces and meaningless chases
I travel alone
Oh first places and calendar races
I need a home

Dan Fogelberg | Forefathers | /d/dan+fogelberg/forefathers_20035804.html | They came from Scandinavia
The land of midnight sun
And crossed the North Atlantic
When this century was young
They'd heard that in America
Every man was free
To live the way he chose to live
And be who he could be
Some of them were farmers there
And tilled the frozen soil
But all they got was poverty
For all their earnest toil
They say one was a sailor
Who sailed the wide world round
Made home port--got drunk one night
Walked off the pier and drowned
My mother was of Scottish blood
It's there that she was born
They brought her to America in 1924
They left behind the highlands
And the heather covered hills
And came to find America
With broad, expectant dreams
And iron wills
My grandad worked the steel mills
Of central Illinois
His daughter was his jewel
His son was just his boy
For thirty years he worked the mills
And stoked the coke-fed fires
And looked toward the day
When he'd at last turn 65
And could retire
And the sons become the fathers
And the daughters will be wives
As the torch is passed from hand to hand
And we struggle through our lives
Though the generations wander
The lineage survives
And all of us
From dust to dust
We all become forefathers
By and by
The woman and the man were wed
Just after the war
And they settled in this river town
And three fine sons she bore
One became a lawyer
And one fine pictures drew
And one became this lonely soul
Who sits here now
And sings this song to you
And the sons become the fathers
And the daughters will be wives
As the torch is passed from hand to hand
And we struggle through our lives
Though the generations wander
The lineage survives
And all of us
From dust to dust
We all become forefathers
By and by

Dan Fogelberg | Gone Too Far | /d/dan+fogelberg/gone+too+far_20035821.html | World spinning out of control
The odds diminish every die we roll
But we are still in the game
If we should lose there's only us to blame
Or have we gone too far
Am I just wishing on a dying star
Oh tell me have we gone too far
Look 'round you, what do you see
Six billion people where there's room for three
And so many mouths go unfed
Oh Father give us all our daily bread
Or have we gone too far
Are we just wishing on a dying star
Oh tell me have we gone too far
Each year we find newer ways
To turn this planet into empty space
So close now to zero ground
We've got to find a way to turn it 'round
Or have we gone too far
Are we just living on a dying star
Oh tell me have we gone too far
Or have we gone too far
Are we just wishing on a dying star
Oh tell me have we gone too far

Dan Fogelberg | Hearts In Decline | /d/dan+fogelberg/hearts+in+decline_20035711.html | Nothing lasts foreverI know that this is true
But I never knew how true it was
'Til I was losing you.
Maybe I'm a dreamer
Or maybe I'm a fool
But I never thought
That love could be
So careless or so cruel.
You wrestle with the reasons
But the reasons never rhyme
Or comfort when the
Heart is in decline
And it doesn't really matter
If it's chance or it's design
It's going to take some time.
Love don't play no favorites
You know there's no one that's immune
Cause she changes her demeanor
Like the phases of the moon.
There ain't no easy answers
You know there's only shades of grey
But when it's love or it's survival
I guess you gotta get away.
The days stretch on forever
And the nights are so unkind
And endless when the
Heart is in decline.
And it doesn't really matter
If it's chance or it's design
It's going to take some time.
It's going to take some time.

Dan Fogelberg | Holy Road | /d/dan+fogelberg/holy+road_20035766.html | Last night I dreamed I was looking down
On the planet earth spinning 'round and 'round
And as I cast my gaze about,
I watched her lovely light go out
The light went out
And floating in the black of space
I was looking into god's own face
And in his hand he held this tiny earth
He said well ain't it a shame what they've done to her
After I'd shown them to the holy road, the holy road
After I'd shown them to the holy road, the holy road
Well, I laid a bounty in their hands
And only gave them ten commands
But they never learned their lessons very well
And they drove my garden straight to hell
That's when they fell off of the holy road, the holy road
That's when they fell off of the holy road, the holy road
Let me tell you
Well the popes were frauds and the kings were fools
And your presidents only dupes and tools
And the money makers and the chiefs of staff
Who worshipped of that golden calf
They turned their backs upon the holy road, the holy road
They turned their backs upon the holy road, the holy road
And then I told him
Well you made the sun and you made the sky
The things that crawl and the things that fly
And then you made the human race
And he said well everybody makes mistakes
I thought they'd want to walk the holy road, the holy road
I thought they'd want to walk the holy road, the holy road
And even though it was just a dream
It seemed as real as it could seem
And often dreams the truth forebodes
You got to get back children on the holy road
Get back children on the holy road
Get back children on the holy road
Get back children on the holy road
Holy road, the holy road
Gotta get back on the holy road, the holy road
Gotta get back on the holy road, the holy road
Gotta get back on the holy road, the holy road
On the holy road, on the holy road
On the holy road people, on the holy road
On the holy road now, the holy road
On the holy road children, on the holy road

Dan Fogelberg | It Doesn't Matter | /d/dan+fogelberg/it+doesnt+matter_20035712.html | Falling and spinning
Losing and winning
Keeping my head
Watching for signals
Wearisome vigil
Was I misled
I remember you said
That you don't want to forget me
It doesn't matter
Which of our fantasies fled.
Every tomorrow
Looking to borrow
A piece of today
Run a bit faster
Here comes the catcher
Making his play
You had better not stay
You will soon be surrounded
It doesn't matter
Which of our fantasies stay.
Lonely and winsome
Calling for someone
Living right now
Something is shallow
Ugly and hollow
Doesn't even allow you
To want to know how
You might
Live for the living
Give for the giving
Moment by moment
One day at a time
It doesn't matter
It's nothing but dreaming
Anyhow.

Dan Fogelberg | Leader Of The Band | /d/dan+fogelberg/leader+of+the+band_20035787.html | An only child alone and wild, a cabinet maker's son
His hands were meant for different work
And his heart was known to none
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
And he gave to me a gift I know I never can repay
A quiet man of music denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once, but his music wouldn't wait
He earned his love through discipline, a thundering velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band
My brother's lives were different for they heard another call
One went to Chicago and the other to St Paul
And I'm in Colorado when I'm not in some hotel
Living out this life I've chose and come to know so well
I thank you for the music and your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go
I thank you for the kindness and the times when you got tough
And papa, I don't think I said I love you near enough
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band
I am a living legacy to the leader of the band

Dan Fogelberg | Let Her Go | /d/dan+fogelberg/let+her+go_20035822.html | A bad situation right from the start
She played me for a fool and she broke my heart
An infatuation, a hard loss to take
But we all must make our own mistakes
Let her go
I knew I had to let her go
You know it wasn't easy
It was painfully slow
But I swear I finally let her go
All of those feelings were so long ago
I haven't felt a thing since I let her go
But you don't believe it
You still have your doubts
And while you do the tension mounts
Let her go
You know you got to let her go
You know it's never easy
It's painfully slow
But you know you got to let her go
I will not deny it, I tried to hold on
But human hearts can only stay broke so long
I told you the truth, how much more can I do
And now my love it's up to you
Let her go
You know you got to let her go
You know it's never easy
It's painfully slow
But you're gonna have to let her go
Let her go
You know you got to let her go
You know it's never easy
It's got to be slow
But you know you got to let her go

Dan Fogelberg | Lonely In Love | /d/dan+fogelberg/lonely+in+love_20035713.html | Some say that love is its own
Love is its own reward
But I can't help but believe
There's got to be more.
A man needs a woman
To have and to hold
To love him in body
As well as in soulI need your desire
Where did the fire go?
I keep trying to sleep
But sleep won't be mine tonight
There's so much sorrow inside
And baby, I don't know why.
I give you your freedom
I give you my love
I give all I have every time that we touch
I don't know, baby,
Maybe I give too much.
Now I'm lonely in love
Why must I be lonely in love
I'm so lonely in love
Baby why must I be lonely
Why must I be lonely in love.
I know that love carries no
She carries no guarantees
But still I can't seem to
Find a reason that I can believe in
You said to be patient
And give you some room
You said you had changes
You need to work through
But the longer I wait
The farther I feel from you.
Now I'm lonely in love
Why must I be lonely in love
I'm so lonely in love
Baby why must I be lonely
Why must I be lonely in love.
Now I'm lonely in love
Why must I be lonely in love
I'm so lonely in love
Baby why must I be lonely
Why must I be lonely in love.
Baby, you're my one and only
Why do you keep me lonely in love.

Dan Fogelberg | Long Way Home | /d/dan+fogelberg/long+way+home_10076455.html | Running in the wrong direction
Isn't it a long way home,
People with the wrong intentions
Isn't it a long way home.
City, you are dying real slow
Country, you are calling me to go.
Smokestacks, I don't need you no more
I'm gonna fly...
To where the sky meets the land
And the living is not planned
And the children can laugh just
Cause they're living.
I'll send for you
If you ever want me to
But you'll have to find
A whole new way of giving.
Running from the noise and poison
Isn't it a long way home.
Wounded by a law man's toy gun
Isn't it a long way home.
City, no more shadows to be seen.
Country, all the sunshine you can dream.
Smokestacks spew your sour-smelling
Steam
I'm gonna fly.
To where the sky meets the land
And the living is not planned
And the children can laugh
Just cause they're living.
I'll send for you
If you ever want me to
But you'll have to find
A whole new way of giving.

Dan Fogelberg | Longer | /d/dan+fogelberg/longer_20035756.html | Longer than ther've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you
Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you
I'll bring fire in the winters'
You'll send showers in the springs
We'll fly through the falls and summers with love on our wings
Through the years as the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks
And the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you
I'll be in love with you
Longer than ther've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you
I am in love with you

Dan Fogelberg | Looking For A Lady | /d/dan+fogelberg/looking+for+a+lady_20035734.html | Looking for a lady
I'm looking for a lady
To change my night to day
Looking for a lady
I'm looking for a lady
To chase my blues away.
Well, I have a few in mind
But none in particular
I have had them before
But nothing that was for sure.
And I'm in no position to barter
And I'm in no condition to play the martyr
And I'm sadder certainly
But I'm smarter
And I find myself.
Looking for a lady
I'm looking for a lady
To share my empty bed
Looking for a lady
I'm looking for a lady
To soothe my aching head.
Well, I have a few in mind
But none in particular
I have had them before
But nothing that was for sure.
And my feelings have grown
Rigid like a wooden post.
And my love is like a curtain
That has been drawn closed
And my life just isn't going
The way I thought it was supposed to
And I'm crying and I find myself.
Looking for a lady
I'm looking for a lady
To change my night to day.

Dan Fogelberg | Lost In The Sun | /d/dan+fogelberg/lost+in+the+sun_20035788.html | Every night I ask myself that same old question why
And every day the answer seems more distant
I always knew the final truths lay just beneath the lies
But I never thought they'd be this hard to find
I never thought they'd be this hard to find
Every time I try to put this puzzle in to place
There always seems to be a piece that's missing
And through the eyes of someone else I look in to my face
And can't believe the sorrow there I see
I can't believe this lonely man is me
The faster we run
The further away the dreams that we chase become
Lost in the sun
Spinning and turning, blind in the burning
Light of day, we have to turn away
Every night I ask myself that same old question why
And every day the answer seems more distant
I always knew the final truths lay just beneath the lies
But I never thought they'd take this long to find
I never thought they'd be this hard to find
The faster we run
The further away the dreams that we chase become
Lost in the sun
Spinning and turning, blind in the burning
Light of day, we have to turn away

Dan Fogelberg | Magic Every Moment | /d/dan+fogelberg/magic+every+moment_20035767.html | I awoke this morning to a shattering sound
And I went downstairs and found these shards of glass strewn all around
And there upon the floor I found this poor broken dove
And it made me realize how very fragile is this life that we so love
I came back up to bed and I held you so tight
And I prayed up to the father, oh I prayed with all my might
That he'd always keep you with me, that he'd always keep you safe
And when I went downstairs I found that dove had somehow up and flown away
There's a magic every moment
There's a miracles each day
There's a magic every moment
Oh won't you let the music play
Oh won't you let the music play
On a high and windy island I was gazing out to sea
When a long forgotten feeling came and took control of me
It was then the clouds burst open and the sun came pouring through
When it hit those dancing waters in an instant all eternity I knew
There's so much we take for granted, there's so much we never say
We get caught up in the motion of just a living day to day
We are fettered to the future, we are prisoners of the past
And we never seem to notice 'til our lives have finally slipped right through
our grasp
There's a magic every moment
There's a miracles each day
There's a magic every moment
Oh won't you let the music play
Oh won't you let the music play
You can see forever in a single drop of dew
You can see that same forever if you look down deep inside of you
There's a spark of the creator in every living thing
He respects me when I work but he so loves me when I sing
There's a magic every moment
There's a miracles each day
There's a magic every moment
Oh won't you let the music play
Oh won't you let the music play
There's a magic every moment
There's a miracles each day
There's a magic every moment
Oh won't you let the music play
Oh won't you let the music play

Dan Fogelberg | More Than Ever | /d/dan+fogelberg/more+than+ever_20035735.html | If there are any words
That we haven't said
Let us say them
I know all too well
How people's lies
Betray them
More than ever
I'll wait for you there
More than ever
I will need you to care
And I'll never need
More than a prayer
To be near you
To be near you
Time is a baby child
Found in the rain born of fever
She'll bring you pretty songs
Laced through with lies
But don't you believe her
More than ever
I'll wait for you there
More than ever
I will need you to care
And I'll never need
More than a prayer
To be near you
To be near you
To be near you

Dan Fogelberg | Once Upon A Time | /d/dan+fogelberg/once+upon+a+time_20035747.html | Every morning you wake up alone
And you shake up your soul
But nothing stirs
So you take the love of whoever
You please
But you can't find no reason
For giving yours.
'Cause, once upon a time
You held a love so strong and fine
That all the others simply don't compare
She's always on your mind
But once upon a time
You had her there.
Drive into town 'most every night
On the chance that there might be someone
Waiting for you
You tell yourself you'll
Give it your best
Maybe settle for less
But you never do.
'Cause, once upon a time
You held a love so strong and fine
That all the others simply don't compare
She's always on your mind
But once upon a time

And you shake up your soul
But nothing stirs
So you take the love of whoever
You please
But you can't find no reason
For giving yours.
'Cause, once upon a time
You held a love so strong and fine
That all the others simply don't compare
She's always on your mind
But once upon a time
You had her there.

Dan Fogelberg | Over And Over | /d/dan+fogelberg/over+over_20035814.html | Well I got a lover and I got a friend

Is to love her, is to love that girl over and over again
She knows when I feel lonesome, oh she knows when I feel blue
She knows when I am tired and she knows just what to do
She kiss me oh so tender and hold me oh so tight
She wraps her arms around me and she make everything alright

You almost tied me down good
You played the lady in waiting
And I waited as long as I could
Too long the songs have been silent
Too long the strings have been still
I never knew what you wanted
An I guess that I Never Will

I have risen from the flames
No more living
Someone else's dreams
I have cried too
I have cried too long

Dan Fogelberg | Since You've Asked | /d/dan+fogelberg/since+youve+asked_20035816.html | What I'll give you
Since you've asked
Is all my time together
Take the rugged sunny days
The warm and rocky weather
Take the roads that I have walked
Looking for tomorrow's time
Peace of mind --
As your life spills into mine
Changing with the seasons
Filling up the world with time
Change time to reasons
I can show you all the songs
That I never sang to someone before.
We have seen a million stars
Lying by the water
You have climbed the hills with me
To the mountain shelter
Taking off the days
One by one
Setting them to breath
In the sun.
Take the lilies and the lace
From the days of childhood
All the willow winding paths
Leading up and outward
This is what I give
This is what I ask you for
Nothing more.

Dan Fogelberg | Song For A Carpenter | /d/dan+fogelberg/song+for+a+carpenter_20823146.html | Oh, he makes his life as a carpenter
He works his hands in wood
And he lives the way his granddad
Might have liked and understood
He goes to work each morning
And he comes home every night
And the time that passes in between
He knows has been spent right
A child in South Ohio
A man in Northern Maine
He took his dream to the end of the world
And he brought it back again
Here he met his sweet Rebekah
Here he came to make his stand
In a house he built in the piny woods
Where the ocean meets the land
And it's hey ho, steady as you go
Sing for the love of the land
Hey ho, blessed is the home
Born of the carpenter's hand
Oh, his hair is rough and curly
And his legs they reach the ground
And his eyes are full of living
And his back is broad and brown
And his heart is sure and stubborn
And his pride's too strong to bend
And somewhere in his life
He found the time to be my friend
And it's hey ho, steady as you go
Sing for the love of the land
Hey ho, blessed is the home
Born of the carpenter's hand
Oh, he loves his sweet Rebekah
He'll love her 'til his death
And she gave to him a bonny son
And they named the child Seth
And now they are a family
A community of three
Living in the piny woods
Where the soil meets the sea
And it's hey ho, steady as you go
Sing for the love of the land
Hey ho, blessed is the home
Born of the carpenter's hand
Born of the carpenter's hand

Dan Fogelberg | Sutter's Mill | /d/dan+fogelberg/sutters+mill_20035724.html | In the Spring of Forty-seven,
So the story, it is told,
Old John Sutter went to the mill site
Found a piece of shining gold.
Well, he took it to the city
Where the word, like wildfire, spread.
And old John Sutter soon came to wish he'd
Left that stone in the river bed.
For they came like herds of locusts
Every woman, child and man
In their lumbering Conestogas
They left their tracks upon the land.
[Chorus]
Some would fail and some would prosper
Some would die and some would kill
Some would thank the Lord for their deliverance
And some would curse John Sutter's Mill.
Well, they came from New York City,
And they came from Alabam'
With their dreams of finding fortunes
In this wild unsettled land.
Well, some fell prey to hostile arrows
As they tried to cross the plains.
And some were lost in the Rocky Mountains
With their hands froze to the reins.
Oh...
[Chorus]
Well, some pushed on to California
And others stopped to take their rest.
And by the Spring of Eighteen-sixty
They had opened up the west.
And then the railroad came behind them
And the land was plowed and tamed,
When Old John Sutter went to meet his maker,
He'd not one penny to his name.
Oh...
[Chorus]
And some would curse John Sutter's Mill
Some men's thirsts are never filled.

Dan Fogelberg | The Language Of Love | /d/dan+fogelberg/the+language+of+love_20035824.html | She says no
When she means yes
And what she wants
You know that I can't guess
When we want more
You know we ask for less
Such is the language of love...
I say leave
When I mean stay
But she don't see
And so she moves away
What we really want
You know we rarely say
Such is the language of love.
It's tooth for tooth
and eye for eye
We hide our hearts
And then we won't say why
It's truth for truth
and lie for lie
Such is the language of love.
One cries foul
And will not speak
The other claims a little victory
And all the time
You know we fail to see
This is the language of love.
When a loves begins to wander
No one ever knows
But we feel it deep inside us
Long before it shows
Long before it shows.
We hem and haw
We balk and bluff
Our words don't ever seem to
say enough
But a simple smile
A tender touch
Speaks the true language of love.
When a loves begins to wander
No one ever knows
But we feel it deep inside us
Long before it shows
Long before it shows.
She says no
When she means yes
And what she wants
You know that I can't guess
When we want more
You know we ask for less
Such is the language of love
Such is the language of love...

Dan Fogelberg | The Last Nail | /d/dan+fogelberg/the+last+nail_20035708.html | I saw you running ahead of the crowd
I chased but never thought I'd catch you
You said you loved me but you had to be free and I let you
Why did I let you
We walked together through the gardens and graves
I watched you grow to be a woman
Living on promises that nobody gave to no one
They were given to no one
I started listening to the wind and the rain
You strained your ears but could hear nothing
One night I thought I heard them whisper my name
And I went running
I left a trail of footprints deep in the snow
I swore one day I would retrace them
But when I turned around I found that the wind had erased them
Now I'll never replace them
[Chorus:]
Fly away, my sweet bird, over the land
Take life for all the freedom you can
But if you ever should need a man
Well, the offer still stands
I hear you've taken on a husband and child
And live somewhere in Pennsylvania
I never thought you'd ever sever the string but I can't blame you none
So let the ashes fall and lay where they will
Just say that once you used to know me
One last time sing that old song we used to know
But this time sing
But this time sing a little more slowly
[Chorus]

Dan Fogelberg | The Last To Know | /d/dan+fogelberg/the+last+to+know_20035758.html | Living in a house of cards
Praying the wind doesn't blow too hard
Giving in to differences
Straining to keep up appearances.
Making believe the thread can be save
You're aching to leave but
Deathly afraid of letting go
The threads entangled you so.
Jealousies and legal fees
Running away like two refugees
Shadowed eyes and alibis
Tell you too late you've been victimized.
Freedom is near but seems to elude you
Trying to change you dreams into
What your needs allow
It should be easy by now
Why is love always the last to know?
Falling back on better days
Trying your damnedest to laugh
You've thrown those childish dreams away
It's over, you say, still you ask
Why is love always the last to know?

Dan Fogelberg | The Power Of Gold | /d/dan+fogelberg/the+power+of+gold_20035818.html | The story is told of the power of gold
And its lure on the unsuspecting
It glitters and shines, it badgers and blinds
And constantly needs protecting
Balance the cost of the soul you lost
With the dreams you lightly sold
Are you under the power of gold?
The letters and calls got you climbing the walls
And everyone wants a favor
They beg to remind you of times left behind you
But you know the past is a loser
The face you're wearing is different now
And the days run hot and cold
Are you under the power of gold?
The power of gold
You're a creature of habit, run like a rabbit
Scared of a fear you can't name
You own paranoia is looming before you
But nobody thinks that it's a game
Balance the cost of the soul you lost
With the dreams you lightly sold
Then tell me that you're free of the power of gold
The power of gold
The women are lovely, the wine is superb
But there's something about the song that disturbs you

Dan Fogelberg | The River | /d/dan+fogelberg/the+river_20035737.html | I was born by a river
Rolling past a town
Given no direction
Just told to keep my head down
As I took my position
A man fired a gun
I was so steeped in tradition
That I could not run
I was raised by a river
Weaned upon the sky
And in the mirror of the waters
I saw myself learn to cry
As my tears hit the surface
I saw what had been done
I gave feet to my freedom
And I did run
Someday later
I saw the writing in the dust
It told me how I should travel
It told me who I was
I ran far from the river
Far as I could see
And as the sun hit my shoulders
I felt it burning me
How I longed for the waters
As the fire raged
How I longed for the river
As I aged
I will die by a river
As it rolls away
Bury me in the nighttime
Do not waste the day
High above the waters
That roll on to the sea
All the angels in heaven
Will laugh at me
They will laugh at me
My life was naught but a river
Rolling through my brain
Made of so many teardrops
Made of so much pain

Dan Fogelberg | The Spirit Trail | /d/dan+fogelberg/the+spirit+trail_20035808.html | The light is long
The sun is low
I'm riding fast across this dusty road
But I don't want to be
No, I don't want to be
Above the ridge an eagle flies
In lazy circles in the western skies
I want to fly with him
I want to walk the spirit trail
I've seen them come
I've seen them go
Off to the oilfields and rodeos
To find a better way
They leave their native soil
But I can hear a different song
The drum within my heart is beating strong
I want to follow it
I've got to walk the spirit trail
Let every creature I see
Be a brother and a friend to me
Let every step that I take
Leave the footprints of a warrior
Along the spirit trail
Heya-heya heya hiyo
Heya-heya heya hiyo
Heya-heya heya hiyo
The took the land
They took control
They robbed my father of his very soul
To be like one of them
To be like one of them
But I was born a native son
And I will never be another one
To give it all away
I've got to walk the spirit trail
Let every creature I see
Be a brother and a friend to me
Let every step that I take
Leave the footprints of a warrior
Along the spirit trail
Heya-heya heya hiyo
Heya-heya heya hiyo
Heya-heya heya hiyo
Let every creature I see
Be a brother and a friend to me
Let every step that I take
Leave the footprints of a warrior
Along the spirit trail

Dan Fogelberg | The Way It Must Be | /d/dan+fogelberg/the+way+it+must+be_20035717.html | Baby, how could I have been so vain
To make you think that you're the only one to blame.
For all these distances and all of this pain
Baby, how could I have been so blind
To presuppose that your needs were just like mine
You've been a prisoner for a long, long time.
But now you run from me
And I will set you freeIf that's the way it must be.
I tried so hard to make you part of me
That every time I looked at youI thought I'd see
Someone that you could never ever be.
So full of pride that I could not see straight
I thought you'd changeIf I could only wait
I see the truth now but it's much too late
Cause now you run from me
And I will set you freeIf that's the way it must be.
Oh--oh--baby how'd it ever get so cold and mean
Oh--oh.
Is there nothing left but silence in between.
Oh--oh--baby how'd it ever get so cold and mean
Oh--oh.
Is there nothing left but silence in between.
Baby how'd we hold on so long
To something both of us must have known was wrong
We're either fools or must be terrible strong.
Cause now you run from me.
And I will set you freeIf that's the way it must be.
Oh--oh--baby how'd it ever get so cold and mean
Oh--oh.
Is there nothing left but silence in between.

Dan Fogelberg | The Wild Places | /d/dan+fogelberg/the+wild+places_20035809.html | I was walking alone through the lofty San Juans
With a heart full of light
And a head full of songs
I was thinking of time
And how much it will cost
To recapture the souls
That we surely have lost
In the cities and towns
There are millions who dream
But the traffic's so loud
That you can't hear them scream
There's a heaven on earth
That so few ever find
Though the map's in your soul
And the road's in your mind
So many mountains before us
So many rivers to cross
Where is the wisdom to bring
Back the vision we've lost
Can we gaze with wonder of children
Into the deafening night
Has it gotten so dark
That we cannot remember the light?
When you sleep on the ground
With the stars in your face
You can feel the full length
Of the beauty and grace
In the wild places man
Is an unwelcome guest
But it's here than I'm found
And it's here I feel blessed

For a gambler
There's a burden that only

There's a place in the world

Oh, yes he sees
And he sees

There's a song in the heart
Of a woman
That only the truest of loves
Can release.
There's a song in the heart
Of a woman.
Set it free
Oh, set it free
Set it free
Oh, set it free
Set it free
Oh, set it free.
There's a light in the depths
Of your darkness
There's a calm at the eye
Of every storm.
There's a light in the depths
Of your darkness.
Let is shine

Let is shine
Oh, let it shine
Let is shine
Oh, let it shine.
Let it Shine

Dan Fogelberg | These Days | /d/dan+fogelberg/these+days_20035709.html | I used to think of myself as a soldier
Holding his own against impossible odds
Badly outnumbered and caught in a crossfire of devils and gods.
All I ever wanted to be was free
All I ever wanted to see was within my eyes to see
Oh, but, these days
Are just like you and me
These days
Are just like you and me.
You used to be something I could believe in
How could you let me forsake myself so,
You used to think of your life as a riddle with no answer known.
All you ever wanted to be was free
All you ever looked for was what was within your sights to see
Oh, but, these days
Are just like you and me
These days
Are just like you and me
We used to live like there was no tomorrow
Tasting our trials a day at a time
Laughing at sorrow and crying for justice such innocent crimes.
All we ever wanted to be was free
All we ever looked for was what was within our eyes to see
Oh, but, these days
Are just like you and me
These days are just like you and me
Just like you and me.
You know they're just like you and me.

After all this pain and sorrow,
Darlin', think of what you've done.
Heart to heart, dear, how I need you
Like the flowers need the dew.
Lovin' you has been my life, love
Lord, I can't believe we're through.
(Chorus)
Well, I've go back to Colorado,
Where the mountains meet the sky.
It was here I learned to love you
And I'll stay here till I die.

Every step you take

You cant always trust the twist of fate

Oh my love my heart is set on you, set on you
Stars shine down from the black
And we're picking though this broken glass
Well how could we know that our lives
Would be so full of beautifully broken things
Oh my love my heart is set on you, set on you
Oh my love my heart is set on you, set on you
War is the most vulgar madness
And winters can be so cruel
You can't always change the way things are

Cause I am the captain of this ship,
Wanting eyes and kissing lips.
The same as it was,
And will remain until I'm done and gone.
Strange, but it seems,
There's mutiny brewing inside of me now.
I don't want your pity,
Just the promise that I'll be alright.
Cause I am the captain of this ship,
Curious hands and fingertips.
The same as it was,
And will be until I'm gone.
Oh, I know I'm a dreamer,
Still think it's strange?
I won't be here for long.
Oh, I know that I feel,
Oh, wait and go again, again.
Oh, look, I'm buried,
Like a cancer eating away inside of me.
I don't want your pity,
Only the promise that I'll be okay now.
But I am the captain of this ship,
Curious hands and fingertips.
The same as it was before here,
Here, back after all.
Why should I be hypnotized,
By the promise of a long life?
Why should I hold hope,
In tiny, tiny dribbles that glide by?
Why should I lean on everything... upon
I won't be here long....
Oh, I know I'm a dreamer,
Still seems a truth.
I won't be long for here.
Oh, it's so, but I think I lay this,
On now your lips.
I'm drowning.
I am the captain of... oh... but, I'll be okay after all

Oh give him what he wants
Children calls drop
Steeped in sin
The song's inside my soul because of you
All the innocence that makes me wild
Oh the fire that's burning, a little more, let's jump on the bed
It's all inside our heads
Golden love again
The love that we would make, too bitter

Is love that do pretend
That one is better than the other
Dancing with the devil

Dancing with the devil round the fire
Messed your mamma's bed for a little more magic

Your little brother
Could I have been
Anyone other than me

He stands touch his hair his shoes untied
Tongue gaping stare
Could I have been a magnet for money?
Could I have been anyone other than me?
Twenty three and so tired of life
Such a shame to throw it all away
The images grow darker still
Could I have been anyone other than me? Then I
Look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide, lick and taste
What's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying
Turn, turn we almost become dizzy
I am who I am who I am who am I
Requesting some enlightenment
Could I have been anyone other than me?
Sing and dance I'll play for you tonight
And thrill at it all
Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
But I'll work it out then I
Look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide, lick and taste
What's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying
Turn, turn we almost become dizzy
Falling out of a world of lies
Could I have been dancing Nancy
Could I have been anyone other than me?

Oh at night
I wake up praying
All day light
I pray to you
And hear my request
I ask of you
To save this baby
O look at the girl
From inside
Is cancer eaten
Is life deprived
And if so by who
Could it be you
I see no need
For a baby's wisdom for you
Oh God the girl
All yellow turned
Cheeks are swollen
And soul is burned
Oh but the girl
The girl is gone
And the deed is done
It must be wrong
Now I pray
My prayers not heard
Could it be your death
Death to mortal word
Oh and see her pain
And drain and drain
Could you be deaf
And blind my friend
Oh and so we hold
Can you not hear
Can you not see
And if with words
You could change the way
Things are arranged
Surely you'd be speaking
Seeking no change
Oh but the girl
Deaf dumb and blind
From the cancer burning
Deep down inside
Oh but the deed is done
And the girl is gone
And I see no faith
That I have won
Well you may find you're little
You may find your tracks
You may go
For me the girl is gone
Oh you may find you're attraction
To me the baby's gone

Unless of course I was there
And I'd dig my way home.
If by digging I could steal
The wind from the sails of the greedy men who ruled the world.
Still you're my best friend
And after a good, good drunk
You and me wake up and make love
After a deep sleep where I was dreaming
I was dreaming of a
Dreamgirl
Dreamgirl
Dreamgirl (Yeah)
Dreamgirl
I was feeling like a creep as I watched you asleep
Face down in the grass in the park in the middle of hot afternoon
Your top was untied and I thought how nice it'd be to follow the sweat down
your spine.
You're like my best friend
Oh, after a good good drink
You and me wake up and make love
After a deep sleep where I was dreaming
I was dreaming of a
Dreamgirl (yeah)
Dreamgirl
Dreamgirl (yeah)

Caught by a wave my back to the ocean.
It knocks me off my feet and
Just as I find my footing
Here you come again!

All I could hope is to have you
To have you walking with me
Laughing so in love, we two
Almost drunkenly
I did imbibe of this
Fantasy of you and me
Was I a fool to think?
The way you looked at me
I swear you did
But you looked away too quick
Was I a fool, was I a fool to think
That you would take me home
As if I was yours
Was I a fool to think at all?
I've grown tired of love
You are the trouble with me
I watch you walk right by
I smile, you do not notice me
Treat me recklessly
All you do is toss me pennies out
But the silence in me is screaming
Won't you come and get me?
Was I a fool to think?
The way you looked at me
I swear you did
But you looked away too quick
Was I a fool, was I a fool to think
That you would take me home
As if I was yours

You make a mess of me here
I dance a thousand steps for you
If you say yes to me
I'll be whatever gets you through
You make a mess of me here (was I a fool?)

Was I a fool, was I a fool to think?

It started with a plan
To get out of here
Said "hey comin' "
Cuz the weather don't wait for no one
And sure not us
Seems so precious
Or maybe we're just tired
And bored with our lives
Because it
Seems so sinful at the same time
5 miles out of town
She turns to me and says
"Is it too late to turn around?"
Cuz I think I forgot my things
And I think we forgot our heads
And it can't get too far without that
Seems so precious
Or maybe we're just tired
And bored with our lives
Because it
Seems so sinful at the same time
Seems so precious
Or maybe we're just tired
And bored with our lives
Because it
Seems so sinful at the same time

Or maybe we're just tired
And bored with our lives

Goodbye.....

I will dream within the night
Shadows on the windows
Lead our love

They will 'seech your mind
And no lying, and you may, well, ask,
"Why do we run around here?"
"Oh, why does it come inside me?"
"Oh, why does it rip me all between?"
Why then, why then, watch this little fuck!
Going away, yeah...
Why this lonely, why this lonely, why this lonely, love?
Why this lonely, why this lonely, why this lonely, love?
Oh I will carry on, burial, burial, burial, burial, burial
And let them see
But tell us, are you satisfied, with fucking up? Don't walk away, don't walk

Lovey dove, love is hell, love is hell, love is up to you
Love, love, love, love is up to you

Stuck between the eye of the devils stare man
Over and over I'm gonna see her face blown away on that day, I'm sinking
I am not worth the flesh on my bones
I am a waste of the air in my lungs
Stay far from me go and be safe
The serpent I got pours through my veins

I would die in ecstasy,
But I'll be a bag of bones,
Driving down the road alone,
My heart is drenched in white,
And you'll be on my mind forever,
Something has to make you wrong,
I don't know why I didn't call,

And the woman who lives there can tell The truth from the stuff that they say
And she looks me in the eye
And says...
Would you prefer it the easy way?
No?
Well, okay then...
Don't cry
I wonder if everything I do
I do instead
Of something I want to do more
The question fills my head
I know there's no grand plan here
This is just the way it goes
When everything else seems unclear
I guess at least I know
You do it for the joy it brings

I have no lid upon my head
But if I did
You could look inside and see
What's on my mind
You could look inside and see
What's on my mind
I let you down
How could I be such a fool like me
I let you down
Tail between my legs
I'm a puppy for your love
I'm a puppy for your love
I have no lid upon my head
But if I did
You could look inside and see
What's on my mind,
Oh it's you
I let you down
I'm a puppy for your love
I'm a puppy for your love
Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me
I let you down

Dave Matthews Band | Lie In Our Graves | /d/dave+matthews+band/lie+in+our+graves_20036516.html | When I step into the light
My arms are open wide
When I step into the light
My eyes searching wildly
Would you not like to be
Sitting on top of the world with your legs hanging free
Would you not like to be
Ok ok ok
When I'm walking by the water
Splish splash me and you takin a bath
When I'm walking by the water
Comes up through my toes
To my ankles
To my head
To my soul
And I'm blown away
When I'm walking by the water
Splish splash me and you takin a bath
When I'm walking by the water
Comes up through my toes
To my ankles
To my head
To my soul
And I'm blown away
I can't believe that we would lie in our graves,
Wondering if we
Had spent our living days well
I can't believe that we would lie in our graves
Dreaming of things that we might have been
Would you not like to be
I can't believe that you would not like to be
Ok ok ok
Ok ok ok

Dave Matthews Band | Light Lift Me Up | /d/dave+matthews+band/light+lift+me+up_20036648.html | Oh searching tired of love grown up, now it all falls out
Oh lovely dreamer - magic prince - swoop you up, swoop you up
But no no i, just one guess - man at all
While I grow up, came your way
Nobody's so special in this way, nobody to sweep you away
Oh light, oh light come and lift me up
Oh light please come lift me up
Oh sweet light come lift me up
When you go down remember your steps
As a baby rememberin' how he walked
Rememberin' all the sweetest dreaming you did
While you tick-tock along, but now all gone
There's nothing here for your dream but hope in a song
Just like the bent back of an old woman that you know
It's all gone and severed and alone, so I rhyme
So now all you see is sad
All look the same as the wall inside
She feels swallowed up, she feels tired as she could
Creepin' along this wall
And this wall it's so long
It's a wall, and lips they're alone
Sweet lips they've lost their way a while
Like the bent back of an old woman
What's true that way?
What's true, hey way?
I came crying to you, came on me knees
Begging father lift me up please
But no as I came down, no flowered sound
Just emptiness in side me
Oh light lift me up, please lift me up
Come down and pick me up already
Forgive me all my selfish ways sweet light
Pick me up from my misery
I'm gonna get away - I'm back to you
The way that I do
The way that I picture you
The way that I picture you
Lift me up, from the bottom to the top
Lift me up, sweet light
Lift me up, from the bottom to the top
Lift me up, sweet light
Lift me up, bottom to the top
Lift me up, sweet light
Lift me up, from the bottom to the top
Lift me up, sweet light

Dave Matthews Band | Little Thing | /d/dave+matthews+band/little+thing_20036564.html | Oh, hello and goodbye
So fast it's gone
I can't get your face from my mind
Can't get your eyes from my
Can't stop your voices
On that day you told me directions to
Where I don't know now
It all flew by me
So all I can do is hope that you
Come my way
Oh and you're nowhere near me
That you'll be there and hope that
With luck, I'll see you again
Oh I didn't get your name
Nor you mine
Or the time of day
But you're stuck on me like a fly on a table
Oh I'm waiting here where we stood for just a moment
And you stole my way
And I, and I wonder will I see you again
And way, way
Without the smile, the smile that blows away
The wait is too long
I want this thing to go on
And there's no way that I might find you again
I must walk a way
I'm all released by time
Bump into each other
It seems so right
And say hey aren't you the
Weren't you the
Don't you think
But I don't think it's going to happen today
I fear you'll remain a dream
Rain, rain on me, yeah, yeah, yeah
Your life is burned
Your life burned into me
It did it
Will I ever

Dave Matthews Band | Long Black Veil | /d/dave+matthews+band/long+black+veil_20036544.html | Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed beneath the townhall light
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
The judge said "son, what is your aliby?
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die."
I said not a word, though it meant my life,
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife.
Oh, she walks these hills in a long black veil.
She visits my grave when the night winds wail.
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me.
Oh, now the scaffold is high, eternity is near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
And sometimes at night when the cold winds blow
In a long black veil she cries over my bones.
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me.
Oh, she walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me.
Nobody knows. nobody knows, but me.
Nobody knows but me.

Dave Matthews Band | Loving Wings | /d/dave+matthews+band/loving+wings_20249416.html | My heart was made of broken bones
My Soul's a bag of stick and stone
And out along this dusty road
You have come my love to take me home
I give to you my everything
You've given me these loving wings
And angels have all gathered round
To hear me sing my love out loud (oh...)
You lightly lifted me away
Out of a darkness, cold and gray
And I work beneath the midday sun
My cool blue water you have come
I give to you my everything
You've given me these loving wings
And angels have all gathered round
To hear me sing my love out loud (oh...)
So take your place here next to me
And I'll take my place there next to thee
And no matter how far we may roam
Its by your side I make my home
I give to you my everything
You've given me these loving wings
And angels have all gathered round
To hear me sing my love out loud (oh...)

Gladly I'll do your business
For just a taste of what you're holding
For just a taste you could only, mean
Save your summers
For someone that's afraid to love
I'll be right here
Lying in the hands of god
Here it comes diving into to me
Now the floor is the ceiling
If you never flew why would you?
Cut the wings off a butterfly, fly
Save your summers
For someone that's afraid to
Love you knew what I feel
Then you couldn't be so sure
I'll be right here
Lying in the hands of god.
Few feel angels in your head
Tears drop
Of Joy runs down your face
You will rise.
Feeling me up now drink me
Skin begins to grow back slowly
Faster into until I'm chocking
Rinse for my mother.
Save your summers
For someone that's afraid to
Love you knew what I feel
Then you couldn't be so sure
I'll be right here
Lying in the hands of god.
I am in love with my fingers
Tear drops runs joy off my face
I will rise
For someone that's afraid to
Love you knew what I feel
Then you couldn't be so sure
I'll be right here
Lying in the hands of god.
Now the floor is the ceiling
If you never flew why would you?
Why would you?

When my papa found out, he began to shout
And started the investigation
It was against the law, it was against the law
What your mama saw, it was against the law
Mama looks down and spits on the ground
Every time my name gets mentioned
And my papa said oy, if I ever get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of Detenton
Said I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm goin
Said I'm on my way, I'm takin my time, but I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
Seein me and Julio down by the schoolyard
Seein me and Julio down by the schoolyard
Well in a couple of days they're gonna take me away
When the press let the story leak
Now when the radical breach comes to get me released
We all got on the cover of Newsweek
Said I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm goin
Said I'm on my way, I'm takin my time, but I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
Seein' me and Julio down by the schoolyard
Seein' me and Julio down by the schoolyard
Seein' me and Julio down by the schoolyard
Said I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm goin'
Said I'm on my way, I'm takin' my time, but I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
Seein' me and Julio down by the schoolyard

Santa Maria virgin child
All our wars over you we are fighting
And all our time faith justifying
Brother caged Babylon will fall
Sister chained and bound, beaten and bleeding
The TV's on, to me this explains it
Wearing a tie like daddy speaks it
Screaming from the minarets
Later on we'll all be dancing
Screaming from the minarets
Yes indeed I'm making faces
Rain on the ground in a space
God has grown
Alone till a man looking glass in his hand
He is holding up to you
What you see
What you see
What you see
What you see is human
Screaming from the minarets

Oh I am bounce around so well
Branch to branch,
Limb to limb you see
All in a day's dream
I'm stuck
Like the other monkeys here
I am a humble monkey
Sitting up in here again
But then came the day
I climbed out of these safe limbs
Ventured away
Walking tall, head high up and singing
I went to the city
Car horns, corners and the gritty
Now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen
Monkey see, monkey do
Then comes the day
Staring at myself I turn to question me
I wonder do I want the simple, simple life that I once lived in well
Oh things were quiet then
In a way they were the better days
But now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen
Monkey see, monkey do
Monkey see, monkey do

Dave Matthews Band | Say Goodbye | /d/dave+matthews+band/say+goodbye_20036569.html | So here we are tonight,
You and me together
The storm outside, the fire is bright
And in your eyes I see
What's on my mind
You've got me wild
Turned around inside
And then desire, see, is creeping
Up heavy inside here
And know you feel the same way
I do now
Now let's make this an evening
Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight
Stay here with me, love, tonight
Just for an evening
When we make
Our passion pictures
You and me twist up
Secret creatures
And we'll stay here
Tomorrow go back to being friends
Go back to being friends
But tonight let's be lovers,
We kiss and sweat
We'll turn this better thing
To the best
Of all we can offer, Just a rogue kiss
Tangled tongues and lips,
See me this way
I'm turning and turning for you
Girl, just tonight
Float away here with me
An evening just wait and see
But tomorrow go back to your man
I'm back to my world
And we're back to being friends
Wait and see me,
Tonight let's do this thing
All we are is wasting hours until the sun comes up it's all ours
On our way here
Tomorrow go back to being friends
Go back to being friends
Tonight let's be lovers, say you will
And hear me call, soft-spoken whispering love
A thing or two I have to say here
Tonight let's go all the way then
Love I'll see you,
Just for this evening
Let's strip down, trip out at this
One evening starts with a kiss
Run away
And tomorrow
Back to being friends
Lovers, love, lovers
Just for tonight, one night, love you
And tomorrow say goodbye

Dave Matthews Band | Seek Up | /d/dave+matthews+band/seek+up_20036570.html | Sometimes I feel like I'm falling
Fall back again, fall back again,
Fall back again, fall back again
Oh, life it seems a struggle between
What we think what we see
I'm not going to change my ways
Just to please you or appease you
Inside a crowd, five billion proud
Willing to punch it out
Right, wrong, weak, strong
Ashes to ashes all fall down
Look around about this round
About this merry-go-round around
If at all God's gaze upon us fall
His mischievous grin, look at him
Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
Our emotions can be swept away
Forget about being guilty,
We are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
Sit awhile with TV's hungry child
Big belly swelled
Oh, for a price of a coke or a smoke
Keep alive those hungry eyes
Take a look at me, what you see in me,
Mirror look at me
Face it all, face it all again
Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that your emotions can be
Swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, I am innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
You seek up an emotion
And our cup is overflowing
You seek up an emotion,
Sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster
For him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you, the devil's not
Going--ha, ha
Say, say
Look at me in my fancy car
And my bank account
Oh, how I wish I could take it all down
Into my grave, I'd save
Take a look again, take a look again,
Take a look again
Everyday things change,...stay the same
Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
Your emotions can be swept away
Intentions are not wicked,
Don't be tricked into thinking so
Soon we will all find our lives swept away
You seek up an emotion
And our cup is overflowing
You seek up an emotion,
Sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster
For him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you,
The devil's not going--ha, ha
Fall back again, fall back again, fall back again...

Dave Matthews Band | Sleep To Dream Her | /d/dave+matthews+band/sleep+to+dream+her_20036530.html | I know I'll miss her later
Wish I could bend my love to hate her
Wish I could be her creator
To twist her arms now
She stares up at the stars when
The stars fell from her hair then
I bent down to collect them
And then she was gone
Oh, I sleep just to dream her
I beg the night just to see her
That my only love should be her
Just to lie in her arms
Oh, I came there to find out
Find out she'd made up her mind, oh
My arms are all tied up
To me she was blind
This space between us
Where wingless dreams fall earless
Will you not bear me witness
With your back to me now
It seemed so unnerving
Still somehow deserving
That she could hold my heart so tightly
And still not see me here, oh
Oh, I sleep just to dream her
Beg the night just to see her
That my only love should be her
Just to lie in her arms
I know I'll miss her later
Wish I could bend my love to hate her
Wish I could be her creator
To be the light in her eyes

When I hit the ground
Some devil some angel
Has got me to the bones
You said always and forever
Now I believe you baby
You said always and forever
Is such a long and lonely time
Too drunk and still drinking
It's just the way I feel
It's alright
Is what you told me
Cause what we had was so beautiful
Feel heavy like floating
At the bottom of the sea
You said always and forever
Now I believe you baby
You said always and forever
Is such a long and lonely time
Some devil is stuck inside of me
Why can't I set it free
I wish, I wish I was dead and you were breathing
Just so that you could know
Some angel is stuck inside of me
But can I set you free?
You said always and forever
Now I believe you baby
You said always and forever
Such a long and lonely time
Stuck inside of me

Sour disappointment

When you look into a mirror
Do you like what's looking at you
Now that you've seen your true reflections
What on earth are you gonna do
Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside of you
Amend your situation
Your whole life is ahead of you
Your whole life is ahead of you
Remember the time you hung out with the boys now
Remember the things you used to say
I thought by now you'd be the president
But after all that was yesterday
You've had time to go out in the world now
But you chose to run away
People ask you what your doin' now
You don't even know what to say
You think life is like a movie
Where it all works out in the end
I think life is like a desert
Where does it go where does it begin
When you look into a mirror
Do you like what's looking at you
Now that you've seen your true reflections
What on earth are you gonna do
Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside of you

Dave Matthews Band | Walking In Memphis | /d/dave+matthews+band/walking+in+memphis_20639105.html | Put on my blue suede shoes and I
Boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W. C. Handy
Won't you look down over me
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be
Then I'm walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel
Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now, security did not see him
They just hovered round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the king
Down in the jungle room
When I was walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
Do I really feel the way I feel
Now, they've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
The Reverend Green, he'd be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
Boy, you got a prayer in Memphis
Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would
Do a little number
So I sang with all my might
She said, "Tell me are you a Christian, child?"
And I said, "Ma'am, I am tonight!"
Walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel
Walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
Do I really feel the way I feel
Put on my blue suede shoes and I
Boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

Dave Matthews Band | Watermelon Song | /d/dave+matthews+band/watermelon+song_20639103.html | Southern man better keep your head
Don't forget what your good lord said
Summer chains going to come at last
Now your crosses are burning fast
Southern man
See that watermelon
Smiling through the fence
I wish that watermelon it was mine
Sometimes I think that old folks
Ain't got a little sense
When they leave that watermelon on the vine
Well apples are sweet and peaches are good
Rabbits so very very fine
But give me oh give me
Oh how I wish you would
Some of that watermelon smiling on the vine

Dave Matthews Band | What You Are | /d/dave+matthews+band/what+you+are_20036533.html | I walk into this room
All eyes on me now
But I do not know the people inside
Look straight through me these eyes
Seeking more wisdom
Than I have to give away
Realize realize
What you are
[Chorus:]
What you've become
Just as I have
Are you and I so unalike
Huddled here
You just as I am
Afraid if we dance
We will die
Mock the world
Live safe say why
Don't you know
When you give life
Then you become
What you are
The sea is unsparing
We're all drifting away
Away from you
But I pray for you now
Hoping to god on high
Is like clinging to straws
While drowning oh
[Chorus]
What you are
Is a best in a lover's arms
What you are
Is the devil in a sweet sweet kiss
What you are
Is a puzzle to me
[Chorus]

David Allan Coe | A Sense Of Humor | /d/david+allan+coe/a+sense+of+humor_20276101.html | Every night another woman every day a different town
If I'm not accused of speeding I'm accused of coming down
With a legal dose of something that you heard was going round
And you wondered why I lost my sense of humor
Every song another record every day just like a clock
Knowing well I've had to take it till I make it to the top
With the devil right behind me and my heart about to stop
Then you wondered why I lost my sense of humor
Twenty years I was in prison more than that I was alone
Some lily-white reporter thinks it's time that I was stoned
Without sin he wrote the story and it chilled me to the bone
Then he wondered why I lost my sense of humor
I shaved my beard and cut my hair off it don't matter anyhow
It was truth that told the answers to the questions up till now
Crucify him someone shouted from the safety of the crowd
Then they wondered why I lost my sense of humor
Hey take them crosses from my doorstep there's no reason to my rhyme
Everybody knows somebody will take care of me in time
I made friends of all you stand for but the blind can't lead the blind
Just be glad I haven't lost my sense of humor
Just be glad I haven't lost my sense of humor
Cause if I ever catch you I'm gonna kick your ass

David Allan Coe | Ain't It Funny The Way Love Can Do Ya | /d/david+allan+coe/aint+it+funny+the+way+love+can+do+ya_20819944.html | She had good intentions and I had the same
She kept the baby and left me the blame
We both had our reasons but they weren't the same
Ain't it funny, the way love can do ya?
We made a promise, we'd never break up our home
Or ever find reasons for leaving each other alone but we did
Once we were strangers, then we were friends
Next we were lovers, now we're strangers again
Ain't it funny, the way love can do ya? But it did
I had good intentions and she had the same
She kept the heartaches and left me the shame
We both have our memories but they're not the same
Ain't it funny, the way love can do ya?
We made a promise, we'd never break up our home
Or ever find reasons for leaving each other alone but we did
Once we were strangers, then we were friends
Next we were lovers, now we're strangers again
Ain't it funny the way love can do ya? But it did

David Allan Coe | Another Pretty Country Song | /d/david+allan+coe/another+pretty+country+song_20586027.html | I bought this rhinestone suit in California
These boots came all the way from Mexico
This Cadillac ain't nothin' son you ought to see the Greyhound
I bought to take my band from show to show
Seen my face a thousand times on TV and heard me on your local radio
And in your eyes I see the admiration there for me
But son there's something that you ought to know
Well I've got to take a drink to keep from shakin'
Motel rooms ain't nothing like a home
Money can't make love grow any stronger when you leave your woman home alone
She can't raise the children with no daddy
She can't love a man that's always gone
It takes a whole lot more than pride to keep your feelings locked inside
While you sing another pretty country song
(Play it Pete Drake)
[ steel ]
(I've seen your face a thousand times on TV I've heard you on my local radio)
It's true I took some pills to stay awake son
And this diamond ring I wear is just for show
I've got a little cabin in the country
When I'm not on the road that's where I go
Try and put my feelings down on paper
Right or wrong the show has to go on
I can cry down deep inside and keep on smilin'
While I sing another pretty country song
But I've got to take a drink to keep from shakin'

David Allan Coe | As Far As This Feeling Will Take Us | /d/david+allan+coe/as+far+as+this+feeling+will+take+us_20200375.html | You're layin' here with me we're holding each other it feels good so it must
be right
You've touched me into thinking this could go on forever
I don't care if forever is just for tonight
Let's go as far as this feeling will take us we've never been there together
before
Let's go as far as this feeling will take us
And I've got a feeling we'll come back for more
I'm like a forest and you're like a wildfire that's spreading all over me
Baby come with me let's go to heaven
At moments like this girl that's where we should be
Let's go as far as this feeling
For that kind of feeling we'll come back for me

David Allan Coe | Back To Atlanta | /d/david+allan+coe/back+to+atlanta_20586025.html | If she knew that I was here with you
There ain't no doubt about what she would do
So lets get dressed and ill be on my way
You knew that I was passing through
I never meant to stay.
And I think id better go back to Atlanta
Before my conscience makes a fool of me
I never should have stepped across loves Mason Dixon line
And I think its time to go back to Atlanta
I've been on the road for a long long time
She was out of sight and out of mind
But she still wears my ring upon her hand
All that I could be to you is
Just a one night stand

David Allan Coe | Bright Morning Light | /d/david+allan+coe/bright+morning+light_20159433.html | She was a waitress in a west Texas dance hall
I was a cowboy with a throat full of sand
I called her Honey when she brought my whiskey
And later I left there holding her hand
Then we walked down the street to a tumble down hotel
Where she had a room on a cold second floor
And that room looked like hell just a bed and a table
A shade on the window and a lock on the door
I said to myself she's cheap and she's easy
But she don't look half bad I'll stay for the night
But I'll leave when it's early cause I've got this feeling
She won't look so good in the bright morning light
[ harmonica ]
I've known some devils and I've known some angels
I once had a woman on the Mexico line
But I've never been touched like that woman touched me
She lay there beside me and crawled in my mind
And we talked and we smoked and made love till mornin'
The sun come a streamin' through a hole in the shade
And it fell like a spotlight on her face and her body
And it hung like a halo round the bed where we lay
I said to myself she's cheap and she's easy
But she don't look half bad I guess I'll stay for the night
But I'll tell you boys that was five years ago and Lord God what a woman
She still looks as good in the bright morning light

David Allan Coe | Cheap Thrills | /d/david+allan+coe/cheap+thrills_20586022.html | They judge a boy by his friends
And all a mine are trash
They say you find your own level
Well, I'm a snake in the grass
But I can't help the things I do
I've always been attracted to
Cheap thrills, don't you know I like
Cheap thrills, it's night after night
Cheap thrills
Well, if you ain't supposed to do it I will
I got a low reputation and and a bad attitude
'Cause all I want to do is something that I ain't supposed to do
But I can't change the things I love
I guess I'm just a victim of
Cheap thrills, don't you know I like
Cheap thrills, it's night after night
Cheap thrills
Well, if you ain't supposed to do it I will
Cheap thrills, don't you know I like
Cheap thrills, it's night after night
Cheap thrills
Well, if you ain't supposed to do it I will
Cheap thrills, whoa, you know I like
Cheap thrills, whoa, night after night
Cheap thrills, yes, yes, yes
If you ain't supposed to do it I will
