I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhymes I've acted out my love on stages With 10,000 people watching But we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you I know your image of me is what I hope to be I treated you unkindly, but darling can't you see There's no one more important to me Darling can't you please see through me 'Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you You taught me precious secrets Of the truth, withholding nothing You came out in front and I was hiding But now, I'm so much better And if my words don't come together Listen to the melody, 'cause my love's in there hiding I love you in a place where there's no space and time I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song to you But I love you in a place where there's no space and time I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song for you We were alone and I was singing this song for you We were alone and I was singing my song Singing this song for you |

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one? I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains, I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways, I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests, I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans, I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son? Oh, what did you see, my darling young one? I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it, I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it, I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin', I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin', I saw a white ladder all covered with water, I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken, I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? And what did you hear, my darling young one? I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin', Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world, Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin', Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin', Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin', Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter, Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son? Who did yo |

Kids, planes, runway strikes
Flashy pimps and family fights Spotted dogs, blood-shot eyes Our space captain laughs and tries To understand the scheme of things But just in time the scene has changed The bus is here, bring the beer Sherman's reading Shakespeare Movie makers, boobie shakers And Saxy airplane ticket takers Union members Leo Fender's pride and joy Electric toy Teachers, learners Incense burners Religious leaders and chronic bleeders Thieves and pirates on a ride It's a hippie commune bonafied But Okies and Limeys, curtain climbers Stones and future Dominoes Know which way the wind blows Stolen cola no one knows The shadow do But it's still a shady crew 'Cause I love her, and she loves you Just myself and forty friends In the name of Cocker power Out here on the road again With Mad Dogs and Englishmen |

Well it's such a strange world that I'm living in
She was my woman and she was my friend But I was wrong again. Such a strange changes that you put me through But like a fool I fell in love with you What can this poor boy do? Roll away the stone Don't leave me here alone Resurrect me and protect me Don't leave me laying here What will they do in two thousand years? It's such a strange time that we're passing through I thought you'd tell me when your time was due I guess you thought I knew Strange way to keep avoiding me Why did you lie how could I help but be Oh won't you help me be? |

I'm up on the tightrope , one sides hate and one is hope It's a circus game with you and me. I'm up on the tightwire , linked by life and the funeral pyre But the tophat on my head is all you see. And the wire seems to be the only place for me A comedy of errors and I'm falling Like a rubber neck giraffe, you look into my past Well, baby you're just to blind to see. I'm up in the spotlight, oh does it feel right The altitude seems to really get to me. I'm up on the tightwire linked by life and the funeral pyre Putting on a show for you to see. |

Well I'm going down, Going down a hard road
Just don't know, don't know where I've been But I think I've been walking, I'm walking round in circles Can't even find a friend Woah, my love, my love she's not waiting Think I might've been gone, I've been gone too long People make me crazy I can hardly sing my song Hustlers stand around me, I'm lost and all alone Can't tell the bad from the good I'm lost ins the woods, I'm lost in the woods Big city gamblers, gamblers take my money Yes it gets to be useless, yes it's useless to me And I think I'm lost, when I'm lost inside this jungle Can't see the forest for the tress Well pretty little woman come and get me Try me, try me one more time Yes and your sweet, your sweet understanding Cant' fix this broken heart of mine The vultures fly around, come and take me home Can't tell the bad from the good I'm out in the woods, I'm lost in the woods I'm a man gone crazy in the woods I'm wandering around the bush |

Sometimes I get impatient
But she cools me without words And she comes so sweet and softly My hummingbird and have you heard That I thought my life had ended But I find that it's just begun Cause she gets me where I live I'll give all I have to give I'm talking about that hummingbird Oh she's little and she loves me Too much for words to say When I see her in the morning sleeping She's little and she loves me To my lucky day Hummingbird don't fly away (woah yeah) When I'm feeling wild and lonesome She knows the words to say And she gives me understanding In her special way And I have to say In my life I'll love no other Because she's more than I deserve And she gets me where I live I'll give her everything i have to give I'm talking about that hummingbird Oh she's little and she loves me Too much for words to say When I see her in the morning sleeping She's little and she loves me To my lucky day Hummingbird don't fly away Don't fly away don't fly away Don't fly away Don't fly away |

Are we really happy with
This lonely game we play Looking for the right words to say Searching but not finding Understanding anyway We're lost in this masquerade Both afraid to say we're just too far away From being close together from the start We tried to talk it over But the words got in the way We're lost inside this lonely game we play Throughts of leaving disappear Every time I see your eyes No matter how hard I try To understand the reason That we carry on this way We're lost in this masquerade We could just start over but it's oh so hard to do When you're lost in a masquerade |

Now the day is gone and I sit alone and think of you, girl
What can I do without you in my life? I guess that our guessing game just had to end that way The hardest one to lose of all the games we played But the time is past for living in a dream world Lying to myself can't make that scene Of wondering if you love me or just making a fool of me Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island Chorus: And watch the sun go down (sit and watch the sun go down) Hear the sea roll in (listen to the sea roll in) But I'll be thinking of you (yes, and I'll be thinking of you) And how it might have been (thinking how it might have been) Hear the night birds cry (listen to the night birds cry) Watch the sunset die (sit and watch the sunset die) Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island Well all the fun has died, It's raining in my heart I know down in my soul I'm really gonna miss you But it had to end this way with all the games we played Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island |

Standing by the highway
Suitcase by my side No place I want to go Just thought I'd hitch a ride Many people look my way And many pass me by In moments of reflection I wonder why To the theives I'm a bandit The mothers I'm a son To the preachers I'm a sinner Lord I'm not the only one To the sad ones I'm unhappy To the losers I'm a fool To the students I'm a teacher With the teachers I'm in school To the hobos I'm in prison By everything I own To the soldiers I'm just someone else Dying to go home The Generals sees a number A politician's tool To my friends I'm just an equal In this world Magic Mirror won't you tell please Do I find myself in anyone I see Magic Mirror if we only could Try to see ourselves as others would To policemen I'm suspicious It's in the way I look I'm just another character To feed and brand and book To the censor I'm pornography With no redeeming grace To the hooker I'm a customer Without a face And the sellers think I'm merchandise They'll have me for a song The left ones think I'm right The right ones think I'm wrong And many people look my way And many pass me by And in my quite reflection I wonder why Magic Mirror won't you tell me please Do I see myself in anyone I meet Magic Mirror if we only could Try to see ourselves as others would |

Yeah, I'm Lost in the night
the icy wind is howlin out your name and desolation lingers like a fog the fire is growing dimmer in the wind I'm out in the rain the moon has gone behind the cloud again and I can`t stand to live another day Cause my Bluebird went away And I'm locked in this room with my sorrow no escape, no way to get away And my only connection with tomorrow is hoping that You might decidenot to stay away Oh I'm out on a limb If I could only find sweet love again to live my life this way is too much to bare Can't find my Bluebird anywhere anywhere oh... Oh, I'm Lost in the rain the icy wind is howlin out your name and desolation lingers like a fog the fire is growing dimmer with the wind I'm out in the rain the moon has gone behind the cloud again I can't stand to live another day Bluebird why did you, go away, tell me Bluebird why did you go away Oh, Little Bluebird why did you, go away, tell me Bluebird why did you go away |
