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 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 |

The woman's like the night She comes and goes She breaks my heart each day And never knows, And the time I spend in sorrow Will match the time I live And the time that't left is All I have to give. The woman's like an ivy on a pole She wraps her twisted love around my soul There will come a sudden winter When she seeks the warmth of day And there'll come a time when she will come to stay. The woman's like the tide She comes and goes She knows the things that I can just suppose. And the time I spend in sorrow Will match the time that she laughs And the songs I sing cannot explain but half |

Found your heart And lost your lover Lick your wounds And run for cover. Take your time There'll be another And don't make the same mistake twice Unless you can pay the price. All the years You spent in growing End up one more Line you're towing Don't l |

End of October The sleepy brown woods seem to Nod down their heads to the Winter. Yellows and grays Paint the sad skies today And I wonder when You're coming home. Woke up one morning The wind through the window Reminded me Winter Was just 'round the bend. Somehow I just didn't See it was coming It took me by surprise again. And I hear you're in San Francisco Living with your sister who's a mother to be. And her husband's way down in Georgia And I'm still in old Tennessee... Wishing you'd come home to me. Life here is easy I'm sure you recall How it's so warm and breezy In the Summer and the Fall. But Winter's upon me And I've got no heat here And I miss your fire so sweet, Dear I miss your fire so sweet. And I hear you're in San Francisco Living with your sister who's a mother to be. And her husband's way down in Georgia And I'm still in old Tennessee... Wishing you'd come home to me. End of October The sleepy brown woods seem to Nod down their heads to the Winter. Yellows and grays Paint the sad skies today And I wonder when You're coming home I wonder when you're coming home |

One too many days I've felt forgotten And one too many nights I've slept alone. And every time I watch the fruit turn rotten I tell myself I'll try a little harder Next time. Sacred are the ties That love entrusts us Even if they fray Before they bind And I'm afraid I never Did you justice So I'm going to feel my Love a little stronger Make it last a little longer Next time. Next time I ain't gonna fall on my knees And come out of love emptyhanded. But next time I'll be even harder to please When will the next time be? One too many days I've felt forgotten And one too many nights I've slept alone. And every time I watch the fruit turn rotten I tell myself I'll try a little harder Play my cards a little smarter Next time. wo-hoh-NEXT TIME |

The man in the mirror
He keeps getting nearer But I am not moving The man in the backstreet Is holding a trackmeet But I will not run. Someplace inside you a Seed has been born You've got to watch it grow Someplace inside you A river is waiting to flow Will you let it go? Those voices you're hearing Are never worth fearing They're only inside you They'll tempt you and taunt you They'll help you and haunt you But don't try to hide. Sometimes the sun will be Right at your shoulder Helping you keep your stride Sometimes you might have to give up A piece of your pride Have you even tried? The man in the mirror He keeps getting nearer But I am not moving The man in the backstreet Is holding a trackmeet But I will not run. Someplace inside you a Seed has been born You've got to watch it grow Someplace inside you A river is waiting to flow Will you let it go? |

Somewhere on a lonely muddy country road I heard your song, crow, for the first time. Somewhere in the distance wicked, black and low Made me feel as I was running from a crime. Some say she died of drowning in the river deep Some say she died of a sudde |

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. 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 A little more slowly. 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 |
