Watching the sun
Watching it come Watching it come up over the rooftops. Cloudy and warm Maybe a storm You can never quite tell From the morning. And it's going to be a day There is really no way to say no To the morning. Yes it's going to be a day There is really nothing left to Say but Come on morning. Waiting for mail Maybe a tail From an old friend Or even a lover. Sometimes there's none But we have fun Thinking of all who might Have written. And maybe there are seasons And maybe they change And maybe to love is not so strange. The sounds of the day They hurry away Now they are gone until tomorrow. When day will break And you will wake And you will rake your hands Across your eyes And realize That it's going to be a day There is really no way to say no To the morning. Yes it's going to be a day There is really nothing left to say but Come on morning. |

Dusty day dawning
Three hours late Open the curtains And let the rest wait My mind goes running Three thousand miles east I may miss the harvest But I won't miss the feast And it looks like you're gonna Have to see me again And it looks like you're gonna Have to see me again And it looks like you're gonna Have to see me again Illinois, oh, Illinois, Illinois, Illinois South California Your sun is too cold It looks like your hills Have been raped of their gold I should have come out When I was first told This lamb has got to Return to the fold And it looks like you're gonna Have to see me again And it looks like you're gonna Have to see me again And it looks like you're gonna Have to see me again Illinois, oh, Illinois Illinois, I'm your boy Flat on the prairies Soil and stone Stretching forever Taking me home 'Cause I've got a woman Who waits for me there And I need a breath of that Sweet country air And it looks like you're gonna Have to see me again And it looks like you're gonna Have to see me again And it looks like you're gonna Have to see me again Illinois, oh, Illinois Illinois, Illinois Illinois, Illinois Illinois, I'm your boy |

Stood out in the rain
Let it soak me down Before I called you...I called you. Didn't see me there Hidden by the rain Beneath your window...But I saw you. Putting on your face before the Mirror on the wall Dreaming that the looking glass was me... Catching your fondest gazes Living through your fickle phases I love you. And it's getting easier each day To weep about you Harder every night to sleep without you How many years must I be driven By this dream Of love with you? Spend my dimes on phones Trying just to talk but You don't answer...you let it ring. Spend my nights alone Catching falling stars to Give to you, love, They're just for you. For stars fall every time a lover has to face the truth And far too many stars have fell on me. And as they trail the skies And burn their paths upon my eyes I cry. |

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. |

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. |

I can see you in the distance
And you're heading for a fall Sinking deeper by the minute You're about to lose it all... You better change Before the sun goes down You better leave Before you are the last in town. You better raise Your fortresses or tear them down... Tear them down. Tear them down. There's an angel on your shoulder And a devil at your feet And that door you see before you Could be poison tasting sweet. You better change Before the sun goes down You better leave Before you are the last in town. You better raise Your fortresses or tear them down... Tear them down. Tear them down. I can see you in the distance And you're heading for a fall Sinking deeper by the minute You're about to lose it all... You better change Before the sun goes down You better leave Before you are the last in town. You better raise Your fortresses or tear them down... Tear them down. You gotta tear them down. Tear them down. You better tear them down. Tear them down! |

Be on you way
Don't try to say that You love me still. If we couldn't find The right dream by now Then we never will. We paid our dues at the door And never once saw the stage. We wrote our share of love's lore And never quite filled the page. So be on your way. Be on your way. Maybe someday we will Meet again. Try not to cry Tears make me think How it might have been. We loved as strong as we could But love only got in our way. We took our time to be free There's nothing much more to say but Be on your way. |

Here is a poem
That my lady sent down Some morning while I was away. Wrote on the back of A leaf that she found Somewhere around Monterey. And here is the key To a house far away Where I used to live As a child. They tore down the building When I moved away And left the key unreconciled. And down in the canyon The smoke starts to rise. It rides on the wind Till it reaches your eyes. When faced with the past The strongest man cries...cries. And down in the canyon The smoke starts to rise. It rides on the wind Till it reaches your eyes. When faced with the past The strongest man cries...cries. And here is a sunrise To set on your sill. The ghosts of the dawn Moving near. They pass through your sorrow And leave you quite still... Sitting among souvenirs. |

Hickory Grove, wait for me
I'm just as poor as a man can be. Hickory Grove, wait for me I'm just as blind as the other men that see. Hickory Grove, make the sun Rise slower I don't have much time. Hickory Grove, watch me run Down through the years of my prime. Lady Luck, play your hand I've got a life for you to play with Hickory Grove, you will stand... I've got a dream that I can stay with. |

She was lost
And I thought I was found Even so I tried To bring her in... She was young And I had just begun To learn that even Losing men can win. We went the long way We went the long way We went the long way... Or maybe just the wrong way I'll never know. Overnight We were shown the light Neither of us knew To look away... So we burned And far too late we learned That lifetimes can't be lived out In a day. We went the long way We went the long way We went the long way... Or maybe just the wrong way I'll never know. So, goodbye At least me made the try Something can be said for love that's pure. If and when We ever try again One thing will be known to us For sure... We'll go the long way We'll go the long way We'll go the long way... Or maybe just the wrong way I'll never know. |

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. |

I see the raven's made
Her nest in your eyes She's got you thinking that Her love is a prize And you'll go under from The weight of her lies As the raven flies As the raven flies She'll bring you stories That just never sound true She'll bring you secrets That were never meant for you. And just as you come round She'll send you back through She's in love with you She's in love with you Darker, darker Don't let her talk her way Into you Lonely, lonely. You know she's only No good for you. I see the raven's made Her nest in your eyes She's got you thinking that Her love is a prize And you'll go under from The weight of her lies As the raven flies As the raven flies As the raven flies As the raven flies |

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. |

Here's another little song for you.
I hope you'll listen to it well. Means no different than the others do And it won't change you I can tell. Anyway, I love you Everyday I get more sure Anyway, I love you More and more and more and more and more. I have so much I can offer you More to please you with than most. But trying to tie you down is harder than Trying to hold on to a ghost. Anyway, I love you Everyday I get more sure Anyway, I love you More and more and more and more and more So if you ever feel the need for me Let it carry you along Don't be shy and try to hold it down Cause what you feel just can't be wrong. |

Now the wind is still
In a moment it will be raging Now my soul is young In a moment it will be aging. And high above the pines I wrote several lines And left them in a bottle For you to find. Now the dream is rising In a moment it will be past This breath is my first It will all too soon be my last. And on a windy coast I made several toasts To you and me and the sea And no one heard. Now the wind is still In a moment it will be raging Now my soul is young In a moment it will be aging. And high above the pines I wrote several lines And left them in a bottle For you to find. |

Wysteria, did you change your face
again Those of us who loved you when Can't even find you. Wysteria, did you lose another man Did you make him understand That he can't touch you. Wysteria, did he take you to the fair? Were the folks that you met there The same that we met? Wysteria, did he teach you how to dance Did he bring you paper fans to hide your secret? Was he just like all the rest When he got to the sad part Did he stay a bit too long To save his heart. Wysteria, are your lips still lily white Do they still bloom just At night and die at sunrise? |

You and I were lovers all along
We had a good thing going strong And never doubted. Lately, I feel changes comin' on I know that I will soon be gone And you don't even want To talk about it. OOO, and it makes me stop and wonder why People give their hearts and turn around and say goodbye If there's something on your mind You better say it while there's time 'Cause I'm leavin' when I see that Morning sky. OOO, how did we ever come to this? There's nothing for me in your kisses anymore. Late nights in the kitchen I'm pretending I still care But we both know there's nothing there And you just keep on starin' At the door. OOO, and it makes me stop and wonder why People give their hearts and turn around and say goodbye If there's something on your mind You better say it while there's time 'Cause I'm leavin' when I see that Morning sky. You and I were lovers all along We had a good thing going strong And never doubted. Lately, I feel changes comin' on I know that I will soon be gone And you don't even want To talk about it. OOO, and it makes me stop and wonder why People give their hearts and turn around and say goodbye If there's something on your mind You better say it while there's time 'Cause I'm leavin' when I see that Morning sky. See that morning sky. |

There's a place in the world
For a gambler There's a burden that only He can bear There's a place in the world For a gambler, And he sees Oh, yes he sees... And he sees Oh, yes 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 Oh, let it shine Let is shine Oh, let it shine Let is shine Oh, let it shine. Let it Shine |
