Dear landlord
Please don't put a price on my soul My burden is heavy My dreams are beyond control When that steamboat whistle blows I'm gonna give you all I got to give And I do hope you receive it well Depending on the way you feel that you live. Dear landlord Please heed these words that I speak I know you've suffered much But in this you are not so unique All of us, at times we might work too hard To have it too fast and too much And anyone can fill his life up With things he can see but he just cannot touch. Dear landlord Please don't dismiss my case I'm not about to argue I'm not about to move to no other place Now, each of us has his own special gift And you know this was meant to be true And if you don't underestimate me I won't underestimate you. |

Cohen
Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free. Like a worm on a hook, like a knight from some old fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons for thee. If I, if I have been unkind, I hope that you can just let it go by. If I, if I have been untrue I hope you know it was never to you. Like a baby, stillborn, like a beast with his horn I have torn everyone who reached out for me. But I swear by this song and by all that I have done wrong I will make it all up to thee. I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch, he said to me, "You must not ask for so much." And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door, she cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?" Oh like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free |

She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon But now she sucks her thumb and wonders By the banks of her own lagoon She said she's always been a dancer She worked at fifteen clubs a day And though I thought I knew the answer I just knew what I could not say Didn't anybody tell her Didn't anybody see Sunday's on the phone to Monday Tuesday's on the phone to me And so I quit the police department To get myself a steady job And though she tried her best to help me She could steal, but she could not rob Didn't anybody tell her Oh, didn't anybody see Sunday's on the phone to Monday Tuesday's on the phone to me Didn't anybody tell her Oh, didn't anybody see Sunday's on the phone to Monday Tuesday's on the phone to me |

Woman of the country now I've found you
Longing in your soft and fertile delta And I whisper sighs to satisfy your longing for the warmth and tender shelter of my body Oh you're my, yes you're my Delta Lady Yes, you're my, me oh my, Delta Lady Please don't ask how many times I found you Standing wet and naked in the garden And I think of days and diff'rent ways I held you Held you closely to me, yes our heart was beating Oh you're my... Oh, and I'm over here in England But I think of you, think about you... Because I love you, There are concrete mountains in the city And pretty city women live inside them And yet it seems the city scene is lacking I'm so glad you're waiting for me in the country Oh you're my... |

Russell
Hello little friend Oh it's good to see you back again I'm very happy that you're bigger than me In such important ways You overlook the hung up and thoughtless things I say My dear funny friend You may be the only one that's ever been Even when I use you, you see through me and realize You keep marking time Just waiting for a friendly chance to sight the blind Oh darlin' I say you are a friend of mine But if by some chance that might slip my mind Little darlin' I hope that you will set me straight Don't hesitate to sharpen my reality The hour is late. My dear little friend, I'm sure you're the only one that's ever been. And if I fall again I hope that I'll find You standing close by Just waiting for a friendly chance to right my mind. |

Come
And talk of all the things we did today Here And laugh about our funny little ways While we have a few minutes to breathe Then I know that it's time you must leave But darling be home soon I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled My darling be home soon It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled For the great relief of having you to talk to And now A quarter of my life is almost past I think I've come to see myself at last And I see that the time spent confused Was the time that I spent without you And I feel myself in bloom So darling be home soon I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled My darling be home soon It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled For the great relief of having you to talk to Darling be home soon I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled My darling be home soon It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled For the great relief of having you to talk to Go And beat your crazy head against the sky Try And see beyond the houses and your eyes It's ok to shoot the moon So darling My darling be home soon I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled My darling be home soon It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled For the great relief of having you to talk to |
