I can see the sunshine
Coming through my room Breaking down the winter of my discontent Looking out my window At the people passing by I keep wondering where my old companion went On the steps of the museum I wrote a line or two But it took a while to find my way Back to something true like CHORUS This is where I lay my hat This is where they know my name This is where they show me that A man's not so alone Maybe I'm already home (Sometimes you've got to go back) Maybe I'm already home (Sometimes you don't know why) Rolling down the window Burning up the daze Cutting through the veil that keeps on blinding me I was only sleeping Waiting here for you Waiting for your touch that keeps reminding me Well I've seen the world of wonders Been underneath it too But it took a while just to find my way Back to something true like CHORUS Why it had to take me so long Just to find a place that really feels This must be where I belong Thinking about it All I had to do was click my heels CHORUS |

Intro:
Verse 1: I'm coming to see you, tomorrow sometime Gonna bring you some roses, gonna tear off the vines Gonna talk to the wind that blows through the trees Kiss you like always from down on my knees Bridge: Gonna ask you some questions, get no replies Wipe all the tears, falling down from my eyes 'Cause the one that I wanted, I never could know Girl of Mysterious Sorrow Girl of Mysterious Sorrow Verse 2: Gonna park in the street, gonna open the gate Walk to the spot where you always wait I'll be shaking my head like I usually do 'Cause the name and the dates tell me nothing about you Bridge: But I'll sit in the shadows and let you explain All of the sadness and all of the pain Did it all seem so hopeless you just had to let go? Girl of Mysterious Sorrow Girl of Mysterious Sorrow Chorus: Mysterious ... Mysterious Mysterious ... Mysterious Instrumental: Verse 3: Yeah I'm coming to see you but I really can't wait There's just a few things I needed to say Like why were you hiding so much of yourself? Why were you living for somebody else? Bridge: Well I know that I've always been looking for you But lately it's not such a hard thing to do 'Cause it seems like inside every woman I know There's a girl of mysterious sorrow A girl of mysterious sorrow Chorus: Mysterious ...

I talk to you in turbulence
That's when I see the light But she has visions on the hillside Then she speaks in tongues all night You've got such a faithful little servant Why don't you pay her no mind? CHORUS She prays for Providence She needs a little more of your attention She waits for Providence Just a little intervention She was driving out on Highway 1 She felt the presence of something strange She could not tell if it was alien She only knew her life would change If you were sending down a message Why do you hang her on a line? She prays for Providence I don't know why you cannot hear her She waits for Providence Are you just waiting to be near her Are you thinking something And not letting on? Will she understand what you planned Before she's gone? |

Tonight I cried the tears of a child
Who knows what fear runs deep and wild Inside But the river's in flood tonight I lay down and the light streamed across my face I felt the beauty of some deeper grace And I tried To find my way to the other side I feel your skin as smooth as silk Drunk like a baby on his mama's milk Take me down under the wishing tree Lay your healing hands on me Been a long time riding this deserted train There's no messiahs out here, baby But I found the holy grail all right Cause I'm lying in your arms tonight Yeah Lay your healing hands on me |

Got your call from California
But I could hardly hear your voice Through the hissing of the highway And all that other noise You said "I might lose you in the canyon" Then you went riding up the coast Now all these things we leave unspoken Seem to haunt me like a ghost [Chorus] I lost you in the canyon Guess you tried to let me know Lost you in the canyon A long, long time ago Lost you in the canyon Brother you fade out slow There were times I thought I knew you Before these changes came to pass But you don't think about it do you? From up there in your house of glass The Earth is shifting underneath you The land is sliding all around Do you ever stop to wonder About that paradise you've found? [Chorus] I hear you moving through the mountains Through the fires and the floods But I can't fix this bad connection In the wires or the blood [Chorus] |

I could hear the shutters banging
In my mother's house And the wind just kept blowing off the lake I ran down to the front door And told the ambulance man "Everything's all right here Sir There must be some mistake" [Chorus] Saints preserve us We're all going down This ship is sinking in the sea Saints preserve us And carry us along For we may be together in eternity My father was staring off into another world And my mother she was laying very still The baby was crying And I tried to block it out Then from somewhere deep inside me Came a deathly chill [Chorus 2] Saints preserve us Wherever we might fall This is all too big a mystery I remember I was standing in the corner of the room Saying "Look at how she's leaving us So quietly so soon" And in her final hour I saw her reaching up her hands Like she was asking to be taken high above us Didn't she love us? [Chorus] Saints preserve us Saints preserve us Wherever we may fall Saints preserve us Saints preserve us And carry us along |

They say my final masterpiece
Was this house upon the hill High above the great and mighty river My hand could not hold the brushes Yes I guess I lost my will And you can't keep painting paradise forever Oh forever From the Andes to Niagara To where we stand today I drew the great creations of my master 'Til the oil and the canvas Lord I threw them all away And traded them for stone and brick and plaster I traded them all for you (Winter wind blows and the river lies frozen at my feet) I traded them all for you (Springtime come and the river want to run above the street) [Chorus] She came to me one night While I was tossing in my dreams She said she'd give my family protection I recall the night I died Beneath her arches and her beams I thanked her for the shelter and direction I was lost until Olana (Sun beat down on a summertime town -- he left me there) I was lost until Olana (Watching these hills turning gold for one more year) Oh I've been from Jerusalem to Rome Now I'm floating through these rooms tonight alone And looking back on everything All I ever wanted was a home I was lost until Olana How sweet the sound How sweet the sound They say my final masterpiece Was this house upon the hill [Chorus] |

Fallen angel Come to me Give me something to believe Before I turn on every vow Turn to me if you still know how Spent my share of restless days Coal black suitcase Fall from grace All the while I was breaking down Turn to me if you still know how (Chorus) I tried to tell you but I don't know how Every smile's turned upside down I'm a freakshow in a one joke town So turn to me if you still know how Change comes slowly it's just a little hard to see I know some of my demons They're still haunting me Wanting me Fallen angel Comfort me Help me get back on my feet 'Cause I can't keep myself from falling down I just can't keep myself from falling down So turn to me if you still know how Chorus |

Down along these hillsides
Many miles ago Lived a man of vision child But little did I know He was always talking child About the heart and soul 'Til one day some pharaoh came And offered up his dole Chorus: In the valley In the valley of the kings In the valley The valley of the kings The kings Well he lives up in a tower now High upon a hill People come from miles around Hoping that he will Turn their dreams right into gold Turn their worlds around And if he does he'll keep it all And stash it underground Chorus |

I don't know where I'm goin'
Now that I am gone I hope the wind that's blowin' Helps me carry on Turn on your radio, baby Listen to my song Turn on your night light baby, baby I'm gone Turn on your radio I don't know how it happened Now that I am gone I hope I'll never hear it, baby, Just in case I'm wrong Turn on your record player Listen to my song Turn on your nightlight baby, baby I'm gone Really long gone I don't know where life's goin' But soon it will be gone I hope the wind that's blowin' Helps me carry on Turn on your radio, baby Baby listen to my song Turn on the night light, baby, baby I'm gone Long gone Turn on your record player (Turn on your record player...) And listen to my song Everybody had a hard year And everybody had a good time Everybody had a wet dream And everybody saw the sunshine Everybody had a good year And everybody let their hair down Everybody put their socks up And everybody put their foot down Listen, listen |

I was driving down Ninth Avenue
As the sky was getting dark Didn't have nothin' else to do So I kept on riding to Battery Park I stepped out in the damp and misty night As the fog was rolling in Man said, "Last boat leaving tonight Is the boat for Ellis Island" As my feet touched solid ground I felt a chill run down my spine I could almost hear the sound of thousands pushing through the lines Mothers and bewildered wives that sailed across the raging sea Others running for their lives to the land of opportunity Down on Ellis Island "What is this strange paradise?" They must've wondered through their cries and moans After all they've sacrificed Their faith, their families, friends and homes Then on the Inspection Stairs They were counted out or counted in Frozen while the inspectors stared Down on Ellis Island Now me I only stumbled in Just to wander around that empty hall Where someone else's fate had been Decided in no time at all And cases filled with hats and clothes And the belongings of those who journeyed far They're strange reminders I suppose Of where we're from and who we are But as the boat pulled off the shore I could see the fog was lifting And lights I never seen before Were shining down on Ellis Island Shining down on Ellis Island |
