On the first part of the journey, I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz And the sky with no clouds The heat was hot and the ground was dry, But the air was full of sounds I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la After two days in the desert sun, my skin began to turn red After three days in the desert fun, I was looking at a river bed And the story it told of a river that flowed Made me sad to think it was dead You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la After nine days, I let the horse run free 'cause the desert had turned to sea There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The ocean is a desert with its life underground And a perfect disguise above Under the cities lies a heart made of ground But the humans will give no love You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la |

Gaily on the ground At the joy Of something he had found Aw, come on children, get your heads back together Aw, come on children, get your heads back together Aw, come on children, get your heads back together The days are getting warmer now The nights are getting shorter now And you know we can make it 'cause you know we're alive But we don't have to take it, any way we'll survive If I were you I'd throw it far away But if you were me You'd tell me I should stay Aw, come on children, get your heads back together Aw, come on children, get your heads back together Aw, come on children, get your heads back together again Again, again and again and again Again, and again and again Again, again, again |

Hey, Daddy just lost his pay
What did he do it for It never made it through our door He drank the week away What can a family say There must be a better way Now, Mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try Pick up the telephone Tell him you want him home To sit and watch the evenings pass And readin' the Leaves of Grass I'm caught in a closing door It's pinning me to the floor Now, Mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try I'm caught in a closing door It's pinning me to the floor Now, Mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try When we're old and gray And the things we say Are the things we rarely mean So why cause a scene When things ain't what they seem 'Cause the end result's the same Now what can a family say There must be a better way Now, Mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try |

Sometimes I wonder if you know I'm there Awake in the morning a smile on your face The same old feeling that I just can't place And you say don't cry, baby You know I'll always be the one who cares Don't cry, baby Come closer let me wipe away your tears A man came in with a violin He played for me like I've never been Courted before and forevermore As the bow touched the strings He made the whole world sing Don't cry, baby (Baby, don't you cry) You know there'll always be someone who cares Don't cry, baby (Baby, don't you cry) Come closer let me wipe away your tears I know I've been wrong You've had to be strong I guess I belong to you, my baby (Baby, don't you cry) You know I'll always be the one who cares Don't cry baby (Baby, don't you cry) Come closer let me wipe away your tears The sound of your voice singing songs in the night Have taken me far away and mystified The songs of the lovers brought tears to my eyes The words that you'd spoken made me realize |

The waves come in
Crash on the shoreline Salty water, don't you know It's yours, yours and mine So grab your girl And don't go wastin' time And let's go down to the water tonight White capped clouds Dance in the sunlight Purple fishes watch And show you some of their delight The weather's fine And everything's all right So let's go down to the water tonight Let's go down to the water tonight Come on down, come on down Come on down, down to the water Come on down, come on down Come on down, down to the water Down to the water Island music Sways with a palm tree Friends of mine lay back And talk of times that weren't so free So let's have fun And that means you and me And let's go down to the water tonight Let's go down to the water tonight. Down, down, down to the water Down, down, down to the water Down, down, down to the water Down, down, down to the water Down, down, down to the water Down, down, down to the water ... |

God of the sun
Don't make me wait till the morning comes Light in the sky Look me in the eye, eye, eye, eye Don't, keep me waiting around Too much longer now Don't, don't keep me waiting around, around, around, around When I called you from my river of darkness An echo was all that came back Saw you wave goodbye Down the railroad track Sometimes when you're out and all alone And you can't find your way back Wonder if you'll ever make it home God of the sun I'll be around till the day's begun One sight of your ray Takes the night away, away, away, away Oh, but when I walk through that door Take my hat and my coat off waiting for you to call I tell you not right now, lady, I got work on my mind And I'll talk to you soon Always remember When I called you from my river of darkness An echo was all that came back I saw you wave goodbye Down the railroad track Sometimes when you're out and all alone And you can't find your way back Wonder if we'll ever make it home No more |

Sailin' down the coast of Mexico
With a person I loved since long ago Into a place nobody wants to go Into a hurricane Whoa, hurricane Some'll be taken Some'll remain Heard people screamin' and the sky was torn I looked around and the faces were so forlorn No relief, only scorn In a hurricane In a hurricane Some'll be taken Some'll remain Hurricane's just another name For the torment in a man's soul His mind is gone And he starts to lose control In a hurricane Oh, the hurricane Some'll be taken Some'll remain How long will the wind blow? How long will the wind blow? Everybody talks; nobody really knows How long will the wind blow? How long will the wind blow? Shoo-ba-ree-ba, shoo-ba-ree-ba Nobody knows How long will the wind blow?

The monster exposed himself from underground
Burning his face as he ran through the town Hoping the patrons just don't hear a sound Heart, court and harmony just ain't the same My black and their green playing some games I've got all these pictures I just need the frames These are the things that you'll never do Feeding the wife on the phone And there you are, all on your own Red and blue, I want to like a hole in the head It slopes in the middle and is stopping them dead I'd like to help them; I've already said These are the things that you'll never do Running away from your home And there you are, all on your own Mm, mm.

Though my love is hard to see Now she's gone (She's gone, she's gone, she's gone) I'll remain (She's gone, she's gone, she's gone) But these tears (She's gone, she's gone, she's gone) I can't contain (She's gone, she's gone) So can I count on you to be my light to guide me Right through the night beside me Is it all right to count on you Smile away these blues I don't care if I'm accused Now she's gone (She's gone, she's gone, she's gone) I don't mind (She's gone, she's gone, she's gone) But, I got a feelin' (She's gone, she's gone, she's gone) It's all designed (She's gone, she's gone) To make me call on you to be my light to guide me Right through the night beside me Is it all right to call on you |

Sarah, please
Where is the love you said you'd save for me Am I a fool to think that something's strange I think you've changed Golly, Dad She was the best thing that I ever had Torn and battered now and due for repair But she's not there What does it matter and who really cares With no one to turn to when she's not there Ah, but it's all right, I'll get by Miles apart Left here standing with a broken heart Call me names but I'll refuse to cry Don't ask my why What does it matter and who really cares With no one to turn to when she's not there Ah, but it's all right, I'll get by |

Thank the morning for bringing you
Hope you never turn your head and run And thank the sun for shining, too Hope the darkness never comes again What it does to me Isn't good to see You say that fortune brought you Sailin' cross the sea I don't believe you I don't see how it's true I think my dreamin' brought you here And if I wake tomorrow will you still be near Once a miser, twice a son Three's a devil, four's a lot of fun Fun for living one and all Start a battle, who's the first to fall Hope it isn't me Have to wait and see You say that fortune brought you Sailin' cross the sea I don't believe you I don't see how it's true I think my dreamin' brought you here If I wake tomorrow will you still be near Should I live with rain and then the sky will clear |

How 'bout a tear for the year of 1960
I watched the fins of the Cadillac fall I remember Dad explained about the Berlin Wall How 'bout a tear for the torment and the trouble That was brewing in the Asian way I wore a smile like the faces that surround L.A. In the city of the lost and found It's hard to get a break Hard to stop from getting turned around And make the same mistakes My reputation's on the line The final day of '59 But like the sun, just watch me shine Today How 'bout a cheer for the piano virtuoso I practiced 61 minutes a day I could never reach the keys But it was all OK How 'bout a cheer for the humour in my brother That could brighten up the darkest nights It's just another sign of love Whenever we would fight It's all the same twenty years ago As it is right now Like a tour at the closing show When I take my bow My reputation's on the line At the start of '79 But like the sun, just watch me shine Today I've played this part so many times Since the end of '59 But like the sun, just watch me shine Today |

On the first part of the journey, I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz And the sky with no clouds The heat was hot and the ground was dry, But the air was full of sounds I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la After two days in the desert sun, my skin began to turn red After three days in the desert fun, I was looking at a river bed And the story it told of a river that flowed Made me sad to think it was dead You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la After nine days, I let the horse run free 'cause the desert had turned to sea There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The ocean is a desert with its life underground And a perfect disguise above Under the cities lies a heart made of ground But the humans will give no love You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la |

Amber cascades all over today
Then we walk on a crooked catwalk Only to be delayed Bubbles of blue burst into two Eaten up by the incoming tide Of the new Then we call to the man who walks on the water We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view It's in view Granite charades are played in the rain Till we fall through a sand castle window To avoid the pain Summer canoe paddles up to you 'Cause it's time for another beer run Or something that's equally true Then we call to the man who walks on the water We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view Then we call to the man who walks on the water We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view It's in view |

Hey, Daddy just lost his pay
What did he do it for It never made it through our door He drank the week away What can a family say There must be a better way Now, Mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try Pick up the telephone Tell him you want him home To sit and watch the evenings pass And readin' the Leaves of Grass I'm caught in a closing door It's pinning me to the floor Now, Mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try I'm caught in a closing door It's pinning me to the floor Now, Mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try When we're old and gray And the things we say Are the things we rarely mean So why cause a scene When things ain't what they seem 'Cause the end result's the same Now what can a family say There must be a better way Now, Mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try |

The day we lost our voice with little choice, I can't explain
An act of agony And someone told me too that it's true when you call aloud It's only destiny Or is it mystery But then we came around and sang our song and acted proud And posed for memory We made a cry to the underground Are you there I looked and saw that they were still around But do you care I drank a little bit, so underlit to see it now The show was never seen And all the time I lost is never lost It's only thumbing through eternity We made a cry to the underground Are you there I looked and saw that they were still around But do you care Who are you going to see What are you going to be You made a cry to the underground Are you there I looked and saw that they were still around But do you care Are you there (Are you there) Are you there (Are you there) Are you there (Are you there) Are you there (Are you there) Are you there (Are you there) Are you there (Are you there) ... |

I'd like to tell you 'bout a girl I saw At a party just the other night in Beverly Hills Inspector Mills I hope you find her and it won't take long Watch my feelings for her growing strong in a war of wills Inspector Mills I can't attempt to point you in her direction I didn't see her walking out of the door If I had taken my time she'd be standing here still Inspector Mills I recall once in my life I felt this way before But I let her go and closed the door, walk away Inspector Mills I can't attempt to show the hurt in me And just how much I need a company; search the valleys and the hills You gotta find her Mr. Mills I can't attempt to point you in her direction I was frightened by the look in her eyes If I had taken my time she'd be sitting here still Inspector Mills Oo, someday soon I might be in love with you Inspector Mills I guess you've taken quite a look around Guess I felt the need among the crowd she's gone for good Inspector Mills is it any crime for a fool like me Try to use your time 'cause I wanna see; you just send me the bill Inspector Mills, Inspector Mills I can't attempt to point you in her direction I didn't see her walking out of the door If I had taken my time she'd be lying here still Inspector Mills, Inspector I can't attempt to point you in her direction I was blinded by the look in her eyes If I had just followed through then I wouldn't be calling you |

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doing the town and doing it right In the evening It's pretty pleasing Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land And they shimmy And Sammy's so skinny And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed Singing and jinging the jango Floating like the heavens above Looks like muskrat love Nibbling on bacon, chewing on cheese Sammy says to Susie, "honey, would you please Be my missus?" And she says yes with her kisses And now he's tickling her fancy, rubbing her toes Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes As they wriggle And Sue starts to giggle And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed Singing and jinging the jango Floating like the heavens above Looks like muskrat love |

As I walk through this dream As I have done since ages now gone Shall I read you the letter They sent postmarked from somewhere out here It's in Latin, I think, I don't know Can you help me, my dear Please, can you help me, my dear Near to their bed (they never sleep) They sit sipping their tea, watch the sea Move the sand through their heads (sit in their chairs by the bay) Did I show you the marks on the wall Left by captains now dead (house out on the cove) They fell fighting for peace in their lives Or so it is said (still nobody seems to be here) Please, can you help me, my dear Please, can you help me, my dear You can't miss it A blue forest on a green sky You must risk it Don't ignore us if you want us to If we want us to survive Where will I be (can't you help me to find my way) After watching them walking the pier At the mouth of the sea (I've been lost for so long) They're in love with the news And don't show if they're living in fear (still nobody seems to be here) They eat ice cream alone Watch the waves at the end of the pier (ah, nobody seems to hear) Please, can you help me, my dear Please, can you help me, my dear |

It's been a long time, since you've come around A little laughter, and we had it all It's so misleading, the things you recall Turning the pages We open the cages Now i know that Nothing's so far away as yesterday, wo, oh Nothing's so far away Take a look at the person inside You realize there is nothing to hide I remember the things that we said So very simple the lives that we led Turning the pages We open the cages Now i know that Nothing's so far away as yesterday, wo, oh Nothing's so far away I recall how it used to be And i can feel it, feel it surrounding me Turning the pages We open the cages Now i know that Nothing's so far away as yesterday, wo, oh Nothing's so far away I recall how it used to be And i can feel it, feel it surrounding me Oh, nothing's so far away as yesterday, wo, oh Nothing's so far away as yesterday, wo, oh Nothing's so far away as yesterday, wo, oh Nothing's so far away as yesterday, wo, oh |

Spectators line the avenue
The players step out right on cue And every night just seems the same Nameless faces play their game The midnight gamblers place their bets The tight-rope walkers check their nets Then comes the queen of broken hearts This is the way it always starts Finders find love for the evening Keepers keep the love they've found Losers lose and wind up weeping But it's the only game in town All hail the third string debutante She tries to act so nonchalant Chasin' the prince of alibis Into a smokescreen made of lies Finders find love for the evening Keepers keep the love they've found Losers lose and wind up weeping But it's the only game in town My window looks down on the set Each night the players strut and fret So if you'd like to join the rest Just choose the part that suits you best Finders find love for the evening Keepers keep the love they've found Losers lose and wind up weeping But it's the only game in town |

Window frames a picture of winter time within my room
Sometimes then I laugh at the funny times we had in school Blowing leaves, broken dreams Seventeen, dancing queen, dancing queen I am asleep on a rainbow Hiding from the wake of the tide I am asleep on a rainbow Hoping for the rest of the ride Can you feel it moving inside of you? Can you let it go? The purple ghost of England in winter time, and who I used to know Blowing leaves, broken dreams Seventeen, dancing queen, dancing queen I am asleep on a rainbow Hiding from the wake of the tide I am a sleep on a rainbow Hoping for the rest of the ride Blowing leaves, broken dreams Seventeen, dancing queen, dancing queen I am asleep on a rainbow Hiding from the wake of the tide I am asleep on a rainbow Hoping for the rest of the ride I am asleep on a rainbow Hiding from the wake of the tide I am asleep on a rainbow Hoping for the rest of the ride |

I pack my troubles up in my room I chase all the clouds away I get myself back to the womb But I know that you're gonna cry Tears are runnin' from your eyes The piece of my life you take Is one that so often breaks Whenever you are miles away I think of you the way you are Your shining lips, your auburn hair And then it don't seem quite so far Well I know that you're gonna cry Tears are runnin' from your eyes The piece of my life you take Is one that so often breaks Well I know that you're gonna cry Tears are runnin' from your eyes The piece of my life you take Is one that so often breaks |

Where is the love you said you'd save for me Am I a fool to think that something's strange I think you've changed Golly, Dad She was the best thing that I ever had Torn and battered now and due for repair But she's not there What does it matter and who really cares With no one to turn to when she's not there Ah, but it's all right, I'll get by Miles apart Left here standing with a broken heart Call me names but I'll refuse to cry Don't ask my why What does it matter and who really cares With no one to turn to when she's not there Ah, but it's all right, I'll get by |

Feel the fantasy in the air (Ah -- --) Filled the room with flowers from Norway Sensed her majesty in the air Made a sign 'bove your doorway, to show I care I've been waiting every morning Just to help you find your way I've been standing on your corner (Don't go away) Don't go away One more song about movin' along the highway Feel the fantasy in the air I've been waiting every morning Just to help you find your way I've been waiting every morning Help me make it through the day I've been waiting every morning Just to help you find your way I've been waiting every morning Help me make it through the day I've been waiting every morning ... |

Hope you never turn your head and run And thank the sun for shining, too Hope the darkness never comes again What it does to me Isn't good to see You say that fortune brought you Sailin' cross the sea I don't believe you I don't see how it's true I think my dreamin' brought you here And if I wake tomorrow will you still be near Once a miser, twice a son Three's a devil, four's a lot of fun Fun for living one and all Start a battle, who's the first to fall Hope it isn't me Have to wait and see You say that fortune brought you Sailin' cross the sea I don't believe you I don't see how it's true I think my dreamin' brought you here If I wake tomorrow will you still be near Should I live with rain and then the sky will clear |

When the last eagle flies
Over the last crumbling mountain And the last lion roars At the last dusty fountain In the shadow of the forest Though she may be old and worn They will stare unbelieving At the Last Unicorn When the first breath of winter Through the flowers is icing And you look to the north As the pale moon is rising And it seems like all is dying And would leave the world to mourn In the distance hear the laughter Of the Last Unicorn I'm alive, I'm alive When the last moon is cast Over the last star of morning And the future has passed Without even a last desperate warning Then look into the sky where through The clouds a path is formed Look and see her how she sparkles It's the Last Unicorn!
