You were dreaming on a park bench
'Bout a broad highway somewhere When the music from the carillon Seemed to hurl your heart out there Past the scientific darkness Past the fireflies that float To an angel bending down To wrap you in her warmest coat And you ask, "What am I not doing?" She says "Your voice cannot command. In time, you will move mountains, And it will come through your hands." Still you argue for an option Still you angle for your case Like you wouldn't know a burning bush If it blew up in your face Yeah, we scheme about the future And we dream about the past When just a simple reaching out Might build a bridge that lasts And you ask, "What am I not doing?" She says "Your voice cannot command. In time, you will move mountains, And it will come through your hands." So whatever your hands find to do You must do with all your heart There are thoughts enough To blow men's minds and tear great worlds apart There's a healing touch to find you On that broad highway somewhere To lift you high As music flying Through the angel's hair. Don't ask what you are not doing Because your voice cannot command In time we will move mountains And it will come through your hands |

She has the wind as a witness
She has feelings that fly by night She believes in forgiveness But it's not love if it holds too tight And you can fly beside her But you gotta go where your heart says go She lets the bright lights guide her Through the rain and the drivin' snow Where she comes from she don't know She's a child of the wild blue yonder Flying out of here She's a child of the wild blue yonder Born in an angel's wing If you see her falling That's just a little trick she does She makes a dive for the pain that's calling Then heads for the clouds like a little dove She can't help her laughing She can't stop your crying days Sometimes it hurts to be having To hold on a love that surely must fly away She's a child of the wild blue yonder Flying out of here She's a child of the wild blue yonder Born in an angel's wing Medicine woman raised her Spirit father praised her Through their love she was set free From a baby kicking and screaming To a full blood woman dreaming With the power just to be She's a child of the wild blue yonder Flying out of here She's a child of the wild blue yonder Born in an angel's wing She's a child of the wild blue yonder Flying out of here She's a child of the wild blue yonder Born in an angel's wing |

You answer questions like a natural disaster
Voices in the wind- you let em call her out The whole foundation just went flying past her She puts her heart into it - and you just yank it out You pulled her love out through the window pane Thats what she gets for loving a hurricane She could have rode off with some Texas tornado Some mister twister she could kick up her boot heels with Could have rode him on down to Laredo But you flew in from the gulf like a hot wet kiss You blew her mind fast as a bullet train Thats what she gets for loving a hurricane Waah waah- wind and rain- waah waah- its a shame Waah waah- loving a hurricane Waah waah- wind and rain- waah waah- its a shame Waah waah- loving a hurricane She might have known youd get her sooner or later Living in that railer park down by the sandy beach Where tides roll in like the big dream generators Forces of nature, blow everything out of reach Water in her living room, fire up in her brain Thats what she gets for loving a hurricane Waah waah- wind and rain- waah waah- its a shame Waah waah- loving a hurricane Waah waah- wind and rain- waah waah- its a shame Waah waah- loving a hurricane Waah waah- waah waah Waah waah- loving a hurricane |

When your heart touches mine And my thoughts explode When our wires get crossed And the fire burns my soul Then I know you're home When you shine your light And i dont have to use the phone To call you Baby when you hold me tight We can count heartbeats and squeeze Baby when you hold me tight You can really make a man say, please When im down to my last Cigarette in your bed And the smoke rings blow THrough the dreams in your head And we burn through the dark With a light so bright And the hardes part is leavin' Baby when you hold me tight We can count heartbeats and squeeze Baby when you hold me tight You can really make a man say please Please dont ever let go Please dont ever let go Please dont ever let go Good god it hurt me so Baby please dont let go Please dont ever let go Please dont ever let go Baby cause it hurt me so Hey baby When the morning comes And you're still here with me And you give me some Of your sweet mystery And it feels so real And it feels so right And I want your love Forever Baby when you hold me tight We can count heartbeats and squeeze Baby when you hold me tight You can really make a man say please Baby when you hold me tight We can count heartbeats and squeeze Baby when you hold me tight You can really make a man say please |

I thought I had your number - there must be some mistake
I dialled 6 - 3 - 7 - 11 - 88 I got some geezer; said his girlfriend's on the town I said, "I've got the wrong number," and I slammed the phone down Thought about it for a minute 'til the anger went away I figure every dog in town is gonna have his day Well, I could count the teardrops, or I could wonder why Well I used to be your lover - now I don't even try It was champagne parties and sweet love sins Now it's warm beer at midnight and girlie magazines I stack the empty cans up like a freshman in school It's the kind of thing you're into when you ain't nobody's fool Got my socks in the oven, something's growing in the sink I can't begin to face the day without a couple of drinks Ain't had a decent meal since you made me cry Well I used to be your lover - now I don't even try Memories, take a look at what you've done to me It's gettin' so all I do is watch TV Can't even prove that I'm alive Well, I thought I had your number - there must be some mistake I dialled 6-3-7-1-1-8-8 I got some geezer; said his girlfriend's on the town I said, "I've got the wrong number," and I slammed the phone down But I know the number's right and you're his girl Though I wouldn't want to face it for the whole wide world Don't come back baby, I think I'm gonna die Well I used to be your lover, now I don't even try I used to be your lover, now I don't even try |

Down here the river, meets the sea
And in the sticky heat I feel ya' open up to me Love comes out of nowhere baby, just like a hurricane And it feels like rain And it feels like rain Lying here, underneath the stars right next to you And I'm wondering who you are and How do you do? How do you do, baby? The clouds roll in across the moon And the wind howls out your name And it feels like rain And it feels like rain We never going to make that bridge tonight baby Across Lake Ponchartrain And it feels like rain And it feels like rain So batten down the hatch baby And leave your heart up your sleeve It looks like we're in for stormy weather, That ain't no cause for us to leave Just lay here, in my arms Let it wash away the pain And it feels like rain And it feels like rain |

Sometimes I don't even move a muscle
Baby when you lie awake all night I think I've got nine lives in these corpuscles Girl, you know sometimes I don't think right I hear voices in the hall I wake up and it's nothing at all A hungry wolf, or an agry child Or something wild Something wild Something wild - tell me love is Something wild - tell me love is It's not as if we could think that things were one way And they would all just be that way right now When I was a kid I thought that someday I could tame this lion heart, some way, somehow Now I'm hungry for the love That doesn't know what it's dreamin' of Raging for the meek and mild Like something wild Something wild Something wild - tell me love is Something wild - tell me love is There's a hole where the wind blows through And some curtains hung But I can't hide a thing from you You know where I come from Well I tried getting there under my own steam 'Til my very last chance was shot Now you're under my skin like a submarine I can feel you in my veins running hot Now if it's more than a new pair of jeans, a new car, some pocket money And a place to go Then we better get up and scream at the top of our lungs like it Was gonna die if we didn't make it so I hear voices in the hall I wake up and it's nothing at all An angry wolf, or a hungry child Or something wild Something wild Something wild - tell me love is Something wild - tell me love is Something wild Something wild Something wild |

He threw one down from the top of the stairs
Beautiful women were standing everywhere They all got wet when he smashed that thing But off in the dark you could hear somebody sing It breaks my heart to see those stars Smashing a perfectly good guitar I dont know who they think they are Smashing a perfectly good guitar It started back in 1963 His mama wouldnt buy him that new red harmony He settled for a sunburst with a crack But hes still trying to break his mamas back Oh it breaks my heart to see those stars Smashing a perfectly good guitar I dont know who they think they are Smashing a perfectly good guitar How he loved that guitar just like a girlfriend But every good thing comes to an end Now he just sits in his room all day Whistling every note he ever played Well there outta be a law with no bail Smash a guitar and you go to jail With no chance for early parole You dont get out until you get some soul Oh it breaks my heart to see those stars Smashing a perfectly good guitar I dont know who they think they are Smashing a perfectly good guitar Late at night the end of the road He wishes he still had that old guitar to hold He'd rock it like a baby in his arms Never let it come to any harm Oh it breaks my heart to see those stars Smashing a perfectly good guitar I dont know who they think they are Smashing a perfectly good guitar |

When I was a boy,
I thought it just came to ya' But I never could tell what's mine So it didn't matter anyway My only pride and joy Was this racket down here Bangin' on an old guitar And singin' what I had to say I always thought our house was haunted But nobody said boo to me I never did get what I wanted Now I get what I need It's been a slow turnin' From the inside out A slow turnin' But you come about Slow learnin' But you learn to sway A slow turnin' baby Not fade away Now I'm in my car I got the radio on I'm yellin' at the kids in the back seat 'Cause they're bangin' like Charlie Watts You think you've come so far In this one horse town Then she's laughin' that crazy laugh 'Cause you haven't left the parkin' lot Time is short and here's the damn thing about it You're gonna die, gonna die for sure And you can learn to life with love or without it But there ain't no cure There's just a... It's been a slow turnin' From the inside out A slow turnin' But you come about |

There's a lipstick sunset
Smeared across the August sky There's a bitter sweet perfume Hanging in the fields The creek is running high And I left my lover waiting In the dawn somewhere to wonder why By the end of the day All her sweet dreams would fade To a lipstick sunset Well, a radio was playing And that ol' summer heat was on the rise I just had to get away Before some sad old song Brought tears to my eyes And Lord I couldn't tell her That her love was only killing me By the end of the day All her sweet dreams would fade To a lipstick sunset Well it's pretty as a picture baby Red and blushing just before the night Maybe love's like that for me Maybe I can only see As you take away the light So hold me in the darkness We can dream about the cool twilight 'Til the dawning of the day When I make my getaway To a lipstick sunset There will come another day When I make my getaway To a lipstick sunset There will come another day Then I'll make my getaway To a lipstick sunset |
