In Carolina's eyes I see the ocean.
In Carolina's eyes I see the one for me. When Carolina's eyes fill with emotion, I see the better man she makes me wanna be. And I say, "Oh, Carolina, you deserve a better man than me." A warm breeze blowin' from the sea tonight. Dreamin' 'bout my Carolina, prayin' that she's alright. I'm just a piano man singin' songs for people I don't know. Oh, Carolina, wish you never would've let me go. In Carolina's eyes I see the ocean. In Carolina's eyes I see the one for me. When Carolina's eyes fill with emotion, I see the better man she makes me wanna be. And I say, "Oh, Carolina, you deserve a better man than me. Sweet, sweet Carolina, you deserve a better man than me." Spend my time in cars and planes and empty hotel rooms. Yeah, it's a beautiful life, everyone assumes. But, I am just a country boy in a world I don't belong. Oh, Carolina, tonight, I'm singin' them your song. In Carolina's eyes I see the ocean. In Carolina's eyes I see the one for me. When Carolina's eyes fill with emotion, I see the better man she makes me wanna be. And I say, "Oh, Carolina, you deserve a better man than me. Sweet, sweet Carolina, you deserve a better man than me." |

Outside of Albuquerque, about an hour north of there
She's got a house of three little Indians in the middle of nowhere You wonder where her man went, you wonder if she minds They've got smiles and healthy tummies, so you guess they're doing fine She sells jewelry by the roadside, silver beads and things She can weave a spell upon you with any song she sings She's a desert flower growing free and wild Her beauty seems so fragile, fragile as a child And you want to take her with you, but you know she must remain So you leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain Turn yourself into the rain, turn yourself into the rain You leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain Her kids were playing leapfrog, jumping in the sand I pulled my car off the road and parked beside her stand She asked where I was going so fast and so alone I told her how love was something I wasn't sure I'd ever known She said: 'Maybe you never heard the desert sing her song at night Or maybe you've just been trying much too hard to get it right' She's a desert flower growing free and wild Her beauty seems so fragile, fragile as a child And you want to take her with you, but you know she must remain So you leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain Turn yourself into the rain, turn yourself into the rain You leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain Waving in my rear-view mirror Then the next thing that I know Are the broken lines on a long, black highway Off to another show She's a desert flower growing free and wild Her beauty seems so fragile, fragile as a child And you want to take her with you, but you know she must remain So you leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain Turn yourself into the rain, turn yourself into the rain You leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain |

Once upon a time
In a little Spanish town There lived a girl who played guitar They came from all around She sang of all their laughter She sang of all their pains She knew their lives And wove them into sweet guitar refrains There were the songs she sang for lovers There were the songs she sang for the souls departed There were the songs she sang for dreamers This is the song she sang for the broken hearted El Diablo Amor El Diablo Amor That ol' devil they call love Broke another heart again El Diablo Amor El Diablo Amor That ol' devil they call love Broke another heart again The way she played the music The way she sang the tune In service to the sacred soul She was a mistress of the moon There were the songs she sang for lovers There were the songs she sang for the souls departed There were the songs she sang for dreamers This is the song she sang for the broken hearted El Diablo Amor El Diablo Amor That ol' devil they call love Broke another heart again El Diablo Amor El Diablo Amor That ol' devil they call love Broke another heart again El Diablo Amor El Diablo Amor That ol' devil they call love Broke another heart again El Diablo Amor El Diablo Amor That ol' devil they call love Broke another heart again |

Sometimes I wish this world was an easier place
And when I see those tears falling from your face I pray, little angel, don't give up on yourself Don't let nothin' get you down Just keep on reaching for your higher group If you could only see yourself through my eyes If I could only help you to realize That there's a light inside of you I can see it shinin' all around Just keep on reaching for your higher ground Cause I believe in you sure as a smile lights up a child's face I believe in you sure as the stars do shine in velvet space I believe in you sure as the morning sun kisses the sky I believe in you, with every beat of my heart hear me testify I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe Yes, I believe in you I see you tryin' so hard to be who it is you wanna be Precious angel, don't you know You're already everything to me And though sometimes it seems a cold Hard rain's tryna keep your visions down Just keep on reaching for your higher ground Cause I believe in you sure as a smile lights up a child's face I believe in you sure as the stars do shine in velvet space I believe in you sure as the morning sun kisses the sky I believe in you, with every beat of my heart hear me testify I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe Oh, I believe in you sure as the autumn leaves Dance to the ground I believe in you sure as Heaven Only knows what spins this world around I believe in you sure as the spring does melt a winter's snow I believe in you sure as the light you shine touches my soul I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe Yes, I believe in you So, please, little angel, don't give up on yourself Don't let nothin' get you down Just keep on reaching for your higher ground |

Molly's in the attic as the sun goes down
Looking through some boxes for her wedding gown Now she's standing in the mirror in dusy white Talking to herself in the rusty light She says "I've never been to Paris, but I've wanted to go To see the moon reflecting in the Seine, you know To climb the Eiffel tower with the city lights sparkling below Now they're just some tired cliche's Just some wrinkles that the mirror betray Singing old woman, old woman what have you done with you days I've never been to Venice, but my dreams are divine Riding gondolas under lantern shine Listening to guitars and sipping sweet Italian wine Now they're just some tired cliche's Just some wrinkles that the mirror betray Singing old woman, old woman what have you done with you days I was a wife I raised a child But in my dreams I still go running wild It's a good life I see my friends But can this be how all my dreaming ends? I've never seen Morokko, but the things I had planned To savour all the spices in that faraway land To buy a silk sarong and wear it dancing in the sand Now they're just some tired cliche's Just some wrinkles that the mirror betray Singing old woman, old woman what have you done with you days Old woman, old woman what have you done with your days Old woman, old woman what have you done with your days |

The moon ain't made of cheese you'd say
So find your own truths along the way But Santa Claus and his magic sleigh Had to be you in the rain that day The Super Heroes on TV Saturday's we'd pretend to be You'd say: 'Boys, well it seems to me You're the best heroes this world will ever see You're the best heroes this world will ever see' And after all is said and done And my battles for independence won I'm proud to say that I'm my father's son And after all is said and done And my battles for independence won Hear me you old sly son-of-a-gun I'm proud to say that I'm my father's son A fool thinks he ain't bought and sold 'Cause every man sells a bit of his soul To bring his family home some gold Before he knows he's gotten hold You boys are not baseball stars You never got that fleet of fancy cars And Mama left you for the distant stars But you never showed your battle scars You never did like to show your battle scars And after all is said and done And my battles for independence won I'm proud to say that I'm my father's son And after all is said and done And my battles for independence won Hear me you old sly son-of-a-gun I'm proud to say that I'm my father's son You made mistakes, but you made 'em well You got up each time you fell You paid your price and you lived some hell But didn't it make for tales to tell We learned to laugh, we learned to bend We learned the lessons never end And I'm the luckiest fool who's been To be your son and to get to call you friend To get to be your son and to call you my best friend And after all is said and done And my battles for independence won I'm proud to say that I'm my father's son And after all is said and done And my battles for independence won Hear me you old sly son-of-a-gun I'm proud to say that I'm my father's son I'm proud to say that I'm my father's son |

May the roads in your gypsy soul
Lead you to a higher ground Kindred pilgrim, my kindred pilgrim 'Till what you seek is found I see you now wandering through this world And how you seem to me Like a grounded angel Remembering the sky and trying to be free So fly on, fly on Fly on little angel fly away It's time to spread your wings Fly on, fly on Fly on little angel fly away I pray for you for beautiful things So fly on fly on Fly on little angel fly away It's time to spread your wings Fly on, fly on Fly on little angel fly away I pray for you only beautiful things |
