Noon

Do you remember the last time I said
If I ever thought about lying
I'd better think of dying instead
And the last time you called me
To say we were through
How it took a million tears
Just to prove they all were for you

But it wouldn't have made any difference
If you loved me How could you love me
When it wouldn't How made any difference
If you loved me You just didn't love me

Cause I know of hundreds of times I could be
In the most unfaithful arms
that you always picture me
And maybe you remember that
Though I can't always show proof I was true
No one else could change my mind
Or stop me coming home to you
But those days are through

Cause it wouldn't have made any difference
If you loved me How could you love me
When it wouldn't really make any difference
If you loved me You just didn't love me

Enough to believe me
Enough not to leave me
Enough not to look for a
reason to be unhappy with me
And make me regret ever wanting you

Cause it wouldn't have made any difference
If you loved me How could you love me
When it wouldn't really make any difference
If you loved me You just didn't love me
it wouldn't have made any difference

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer`s day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul...
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land.
Now I understand
What you tried to say, to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free:
They would not listen: they did not know how --
Perhaps they`ll listen now.
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent`s eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
orning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist`s loving hand.
Now I understand
What you tried to say, to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free:
They would not listen: they did not know how --
Perhaps they`ll listen now.
For they could not love you
But still, your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do --
But I could`ve told you, Vincent:
This world was never meant
For one as beautiful as you.
Starry, Starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can`t forget
Like the strangers that you`ve met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn, a bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
Now I think I know
What you tried to say, to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free:
They would not listen: they`re not listening still --
Perhaps they never will

If you're down and confused
And you don't remember who you're talking too
Concentration slips away
Cause you're baby is so far away

And there's a rose in the fisted glove
And eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love honey
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with

Don't be angry - don't be sad
Don't sit crying over good times you've had
There's a girl right next to you
And she's just waiting for something to do

And there's a rose in the fisted glove
And eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love honey
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Doo doo doo doo

Love the one you're with

Turn your heartache right into joy
Cause she's a girl and you're a boy
Get it together come on make it nice
You ain't gonna need anymore advice

And there's a rose in the fisted glove
And eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love honey
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Doo doo doo doo

Long ago, a young man sits
and plays his waiting game.
But things are not the same it seems
as in such tender dreams.

Slowly passing sailing ships
and Sunday afternoon.
Like people on the moon I see
are things not meant to be.
Where do those golden rainbows end?
Why is this song so sad?
Dreaming the dreams I've dreamed my friend,
loving the love I love
to love is just a word I've heard
when things are being said.
Stories my poor head has told me
cannot stand the cold.
And in between what might have been
and what has come to pass,
a misbegotten guess alas
and bits of broken glass.
Where do your golden rainbows end?
Why is this song I sing so sad?
Dreaming the dreams I dream my friend,
loving the love I love

Where do your golden rainbows end?
Why is this song I sing so sad?
Dreaming the dreams I dream my friend,
loving the love I love to love to love to love...

What has happened down here is the wind have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
Rained real hard and rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
The river rose all day
The river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood
Some people got away alright
The river have busted through cleard down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangelne

Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tyrin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away

President Coolidge came down in a railroad train
With a little fat man with a note-pad in his hand
The President say, "Little fat man isn't it a shame what the river hasdone
To this poor crackers land."

Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tyrin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away

Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tyrin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away

would you know my name
if i saw you in heaven
would it be the same
if i saw you heaven
i must be strong
and carry on
cause i know i don't belong
here in heaven
would you hold my hand
if i saw you in heaven
i'll find my way
through night and day
cause i know i just can't stay
here in heaven
time can bring you down
time can bend your knees
have you begging please begging please
beyond the door
there's peace i'm sure
and i know there'll be no more
tears in heaven

So far away; Doesn't anybody stay in one place any more?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door;
Doesn't help to know you're just time away;
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood;
Holding you again could only do me good;
How I wish I could, but you're so far away

One more song about movin' along the highway;
Can't say much of anything that's new;
If I could only work this life out my way;
I'd rather spend it bein' close to you;

But you're so far away, doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door;
Doesn't help to know you're so far away
Yay-uh-ay-eee; Oh, so far away

Travelin' around sure gets me down and lonely;
Nothin' else to do but close my mind;
I sure hope the road don't come to own me;
Yet so many dreams I've yet to find;

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
