My mind keeps on telling me that this is no good
And my heart is aching, that tells me I should But only time will show the wiser I've fallen in love with a girl that's not mine If I take her it will hurt him, a very best friend of mine But I know that I need someone, to hold, to love And my mind says I shouldn't but my heart says I should And I don't know which to go by, my mind or my heart And this is so confusing, it's tearing me apart Time, it will show the wiser Well, I wish someone would help me, this decision is mine And my morals and emotions are hard to combine And there is no easy way out to limit the time That it takes till she finds out for the love that I hide And I don't know which to go by, my mind or my heart And this is so confusing, it's tearing me apart Time, it will show the wiser Time, it will show the wiser Time, it will show the wiser |

Funny day, looking for laughter and finding it there
Sunny day, braiding white flowers and leaves in my hair Picked up a pencil and wrote 'I love you' in my finest hand Wanted to send it but I don't know where I stand Telephone, even the sound of your voice is still new All alone in Carolina and talking to you And feeling too foolish and strange to say the words that I had planned Guess it's too early 'cos I don't know where I stand Crickets talk, courting their ladies in star-dappled green Crickets talk, until the morning comes up like a dream All muted and misty, so drowsy now, I'll take what sleep I can I know that I miss you but I don't know where I stand Know that I miss you but I don't know where I stand |

If I were rich enough
To make you need me as much as I need you If I could pitch enough You'd realise what a little country bread can do Well, if my ma had come very far And if my pa was an oil-rig big-wig around our money town If I were rich enough To give you entertainment in the manner that you've been accustomed to If I could stitch enough I'd save you nine and throw in a Dixie too Well, if I knew that you'd give me good times too And if I knew that the loved one that I love loved me too If I were rich enough To make you need me too If I were rich enough To see you pretty, looking like a scene I'd dream If you were bitch enough You'd leave me here, a king without a queen Well, if you do, if you leave your little boy blue If you do, I'll shut you and you'll shout and you'll know it too If I were rich enough To have a for every single day I'll wake And if I acted rough You'd want me more than just for wanting's sake Mmmmm, that ain't so, I'll always be this way Feelings grow, do the time when the sun shines then we'll know If I were rich enough To make you need me too |

She doesn't see the day to day
No colours where the children play She doesn't see the things she's sown White crosses painted on the door See me fly, see me cry, see me walk away Every time the sun shines, to me it's a rainy day He didn't see the summer go Though he knew what the shadows know He didn't see his arm grow old He didn't feel his blood run cold See me fly, see me cry, see me walk away Every time the sun shines, to me it's a rainy day They listened to his voice grow pale No stamps were on the morning mail They all listened to the white ?truck ring? Words just didn't mean a thing See me fly, see me cry, see me walk away Every time the sun shines, to me it's a rainy day |

Woke up big this Chelsea morning and the first thing that I heard
Was a song outside my window And the traffic wrote the words It came ringing up like Christmas bells And rapping up like pipes and drums Oh, won't you stay, we'll put on a day and we'll wear it till the night comes Woke up big this Chelsea morning and the first thing that I saw Was the sun through yellow curtains And a rainbow on my wall Blue, red, green and gold to welcome you Crimson, crystal peaks to beckon Oh, won't you stay, we'll put on a day, there's a side-show every second Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today And the streets are paved with passers-by And pictures fly and papers lie Just waiting to blow away Woke up big this Chelsea morning and the first thing that I knew There was milk and toast and honey And a bowl of oranges too And the light poured in like butterscotch And stuck to all my senses Oh, won't you stay, we'll put on a day and we'll talk in present tenses Now the curtain closes and the rainbow runs away I'll bring you incense owls by night By candle-light, by jewel-light If only you will stay Pretty baby, won't you Wake up, it's the Chelsea morning |

Dying's not easy today
Trying but can't get away Feel just the almost touch of her hand and the trees in her hair ?Lies float? the sun, she saw only me in the sky What could be higher than we? Wind grows cold in the trees She cries, so hard to please My restless feet, the rain in the street and her Vanity Fair Sighs in the eyes of the boarding-house lady who stares Thinking I care So, it's a long dusty road Feelings I shouldn't have showed Follow me with a sweet bird when I'm ready to fade Lights like these burn so bright, keep me out of my shade Wish I could fade Just see me fade Just see me fade Just see me fade Just see me fade Just see me fade See me fade |

Like a lobster I can swim
And can grow another limb Where a powerless stump you saw I have grown a powerful claw When you'd thought me safely drowned In the depths I swim around Dither when you do descend With my claw I'll tear you, friend |

Looking through the window
To see which way the wind blows It seems as though a hurricane is due today Sunny on the outside Stormy on the inside Stormy weather's always best for making hay Here come Everlasting Looks like he's been fasting With his friends in the den where directors roll Like a bandarillo With his cigarillo Robs the rich, robs the rest, brings it all back home Please don't get us wrong man This is just a song man No matter what we say This is the season, stormy weather's on the way This is the season, stormy weather's on the way You'd better start worrying, witchcraft's here to stay In blows Snow White The dwarves are kinda off-white Division's his decision, so they're out of luck Associates are reeling The wall paper is peeling He doesn't see the paper work has come unstuck In comes Saville Had his fill of travel Had a bite on the flight, just touched down today Lookin' drawn and haggard Through the door he staggered With a sound that he found over Frisco way Please don't get us wrong man This is just a song man No matter what we say This is the season, stormy weather's on the way This is the season, stormy weather's on the way You'd better start worrying, witchcraft's here to stay |

He used to be the only man I would see
He used to be the only good man for me Oh, he used to be my one sure thing Look at me now, what you see, it isn't me Look at me now, just a leaf without a tree Oh, he used to be my one sure thing My man, he doesn't care for me And what he does, he doesn't do for me And when I need something To him, it doesn't mean a thing You know he used to be my one sure thing My man, he doesn't care for me And what he does, he doesn't do for me And when I need something To him, it doesn't mean a thing You know he used to be my one sure thing |

Suzanne takes you down to a place near the river
You can hear the boats go by You can spend the night forever And you know that she's half crazy But that's why you want to be there And she feeds you tea and oranges That come all the way from China And just when you want to tell her That you have no love to give her Then she gets you on her wavelength And she lets the river answer That you've always been her lover And you want to travel with her And you want to travel blind And you think that maybe you'll trust her For she's touched your perfect body with her mind. And Jesus was a sailor When He walked upon the water And He spent a long time watching From His lonely wooden tower And when He knew for certain Only drowning men could see Him He said "All men shall be sailors then Until the sea shall free them" But He Himself was broken Long before the sky would open Forsaken, almost human He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone And you want to travel with Him And you want to travel blind And you think maybe you'll trust Him For He's touched your perfect body with His mind. Suzanne takes you down to a place near the river You can hear the boats go by You can spend the night forever And the sun pours down like honey On our lady of the harbour And she shows you where to look Amid the garbage and the flowers There are heroes in the seaweed There are children in the morning And they're leaning out for love And they will lean that way forever While Suzanne holds the mirror And you want to travel with her And you want to travel blind And you think maybe you'll trust her For you've touched her perfect body with your mind |

It's a long,long way down to Reno, Nevada
It's a long,long way to your home. And the change in your pocket is beginning to grumble And you reap just about what you've sown. You can walk down the street, pass your face in the window, You can go on fooling around, You can work night and day,take a chance on promotion, You can fall through a hole in the ground. Well there ain't no game like the game that you're playing, When you got a little something to lose. And there ain't no time, like the time you been wasting; And you waste just about what you choose. There's a man at the table and you know he's been able To return all the odds that you lay But you can't feed your hunger and you ain't getting younger Your tongue ain't got nothing to say. It's a long,long way down to Reno, Nevada It's a long,long way to your home and the ground underneath you is beginning to crumble, And the sky up above you has grown. There's a time to be grieving and a time to be screaming, And a time just to stroll the wall But you ain't got the double,and it ain't worth the trouble Your feet are going nowhere at all. |
