Flyin' me back to Memphis
Gotta find my Daisy Jane Well, the summer's gone And I hope she's feelin' the same Well, I left her just to roam the city Thinkin' it would ease the pain I'm a crazy man And I'm playin' my crazy game, game Does she really love me I think she does Like the stars above me I know because When the sky is bright Everything's alright Flyin' me back to Memphis Honey, keep the oven warm All the clouds are clearin' And I think we're over the storm Well, I've been pickin' it up around me Daisy, I think I'm sane And I'm awful glad And I guess you're really to blame, blame Do you really love me I hope you do Like the stars above me How I love you When it's cold at night Everything's alright Does she really love me I think she does Like the stars above me I know because When the sky is bright Everything's alright |

I'm only half a man
When I'm not by your side I try to make a plan And I don't try to hide So come on over closer to me And everything will be just like it should be Why don't you help me Please don't stand on your pride I feel so empty Why don't you let me inside So come on over closer to me And everything will be just like it should be You (you, you, you) Set my soul on fire You (you, you, you) Fill me with desire When ever I'm near you I'm only half a man When I'm not by your side I try to make a plan And I don't try to hide So come on over closer to me And everything will be just like it should be |

Midnight rolling in, sunlight
Reaching out for your return As you were running through the tunnel of life And soon you'll dance around the fire of fright Tonight When you're standing on the corner And the sun is getting hot Does this day begin to worry you a lot You are, what you are, too far Golden star, a ruby light As you were running through the tunnel of life And soon you'll dance around the fire of fright Tonight When you're standing on the corner And the sun is getting hot Does the day begin to worry you a lot |

Eyes
Holdin' back the tears That they've held for years How can I tell you? I don't want to make you cry Why should I even try? Why should I even try? Days Where'd you go so fast Fin'lly lost at last How can I tell you? I don't want to let you down Why should I even try? Why should I even try? How can I tell you? I don't want to let you down Why should I even try? Why should I even try? |

Hey, honey, won't you sit down
And stop here for a spell Singin' the sweet old lullabies To forget about your health Don't think about tomorrow It's a whole night's sleep away Sure would be pleased to have you stay And it's reach out old Virginia Won't you rock him close to you The poor boy's had a hotel so long He don't know what to do It's time to come on home And put your feet up for a while So much travlin' 'round tends to take away your smile 'Pears to me it's all a body can do to stay in tune And you've been strainin' at those strings From mornin' till noon So come on down and hang around It'll put you right real soon 'Cause nothing's changed It's all the same Reach out old Virginia Won't you rock him close to you The poor boy's had a hotel so long He don't know what to do It's time to come on home And put your feet up for a while So much travlin' 'round can take away your smile Reach out old Virginia Won't you rock him close to you The poor boy's had a hotel so long He don't know what to do It's time to come on home And put your feet up for a while So much travlin' 'round can take away your smile |

Some came down to hang out by the river
Others were waiting to find the night We stood long just waiting for the picture Looking at people to see what was right Soon came the people From over in the valley Hundreds of them walking Towards us in the rain Then we turned around And hid out in the alley Met along the stones Down Tomorrow Day Lane Take away the road and no one will remember How many journeys we hedged in the stone Friends around will take away the wonder Sharing a moment of being alone Soon came the people From over in the valley Hundreds of them walking Towards us in the rain And we turned around And hid out in the alley Met along the stones Down Tomorrow Day Lane Ba ba ba ba ba ba ... Ba da da da da da ba, ba da da da da da ba ba ba ... |

Some can see it's poetry
Come as you are in your broken car The company Carousel is wishing well As a wonder night that spoke delight To the company Can you hear the summer calling you Can you hear him call you now Can you hear the summer calling you Can you hear him call you now Broken dream, just a token scheme Silver man with a telegram For the company Scalding blue, come talk to you Search the cave for the grave Of the company Can you hear the summer calling you Can you hear him call you now Can you hear the summer calling you Can you hear him call you now Can you hear the summer calling you Can you hear him call you now Can you hear the summer calling you Can you hear him call you now Can you hear the summer calling you Can you hear him call you now Can you hear the summer calling you Can you hear him call you now |

I get the shivers up and down my spine The only time I'm happy's when I know she's mine So hold, hold me tight Treat me right Won't you be my woman tonight? So treat me right Won't you be my woman tonight? First I see you And then you let me go The only time I touch you's when you don't wanna know So hold, hold me tight, all right. Hold me tight Hold me tight Won't you be my woman tonight Hold me tight Won't you be my woman tonight I get the shivers up and down my spine The only time I'm happy's when I know she's mine So, hold, hold me tight Hold me tight, woman tonight |

Boy, please don't throw away your life
All the joy, please don't end it with a knife 'Cause you know there's hope for you I was alone like the silence in the night I had no home no one close to hold me tight But you know there's hope for you, for you Everywhere I look I see your face Every step I take seems out of place You got to be a man to run the race I'm not a hopeless man How can you say I am? I was alone like the silence in the night I had no home no one close to hold me tight But you know there's hope for you, for you Everywhere I look I see your face Every step I take seems out of place You got to be a man to run the race I'm not a hopeless man How can you say I am |

Well I tried to make it Sunday
But I got so damned depressed That I set my sights on Monday And I got myself undressed I ain't ready for the altar But I do agree there's times When a woman sure can be a friend of mine Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you Sister Golden Hair surprise And I just can't live without you Can't you see it in my eyes I've been one poor correspondent And I've been too, too hard to find But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind Will you meet me in the middle Will you meet me in the end Will you love me just a little Just enough to show you care Well I tried to fake it I don't mind sayin' I just can't make it Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you Sister Golden Hair surprise And I just can't live without you Can't you see it in my eyes Now, I've been one poor correspondent And I've been too, too hard to find But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind Will you meet me in the middle Will you meet me in the end? Will you love me just a little Just enough to show you care Well I tried to fake it I don't mind sayin' I just can't make it |

Time goes on
People burning candles Will I ever see you tomorrow When will I ever be home from across the sea When will I ever be free When will it ever be, oh Lord, just you and me When will I ever be free Life goes on People turning handles Making sure I'll be here tomorrow When will I ever be home from across the sea When will I ever be free When will it ever be, oh Lord, just you and me When will I ever be free When will I ever be home from across the sea When will I ever be free When will it ever be, oh Lord, just you and me When will I ever be free When will I ever be home from across the sea When will I ever be free When will I ever be home from across the sea When will I ever be free When will I ever be home from across the sea When will I ever be free ... |

First came the winter
And then came the morning Bright coral branches that pass you again Down from the meadow and onto the seashore Came the vast checkerboard kingdom of men Sun radiates gold infrarays Time to prepare for the fall Harvest the corn, watch for the storm Soon we will hear winter call Ice on the pond, won't stay too long Too thin to walk it today Ice on the pond, something went wrong Frost must be lost on the way Evening is falling The tree is a silhouette As seen by the teddy bear Watching his den Spring came so quickly That I did not see her Just turn around And she's coming again Wind chimes along, rising at dawn Seasons in circles too match Each comes along, singing his song Burying thoughts of the past |
