There was a young girl Ridin' on the wind She had all of the answers Didn't need to pretend I remember - she was the only friend I ever needed
Now I wonder How to work it all out My hands are tremblin' I've got this feelin' now
There's a bit of thunder Pounding in my heart A little uncertainty That's been there from the start Don't tell me all the looks you gave Were the ones that I misread 'Cause all I hear now Is a voice inside my head
Could this be love That I hear calling Could this be love That I hear calling
Got a fast education Holding you in tears Someone finally hurt you After all these years Got to get my message to you somehow
Now you're lookin' in my eyes for courage Too late to think this through Baby There must be something we can do
There's a bit of thunder Pounding in my heart A little uncertainty That's been there from the start Don't tell me all the looks you gave Were the ones that I misread 'Cause all I hear now Is a voice inside my head
Could this be love That I hear calling Could this be love That I hear calling
(Instrumental brake)

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps I look at the floor and I know it needs sweeping Still my guitar gently weeps I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love I don't know how someone controlled you They bought and sold you.
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love I don't know how someone controlled you They bought and sold you.
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps

A boy is born in hard time Mississippi Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty His parents give him love and affection To keep him strong moving in the right direction Living just enough, just enough for the city..ee ha!
His father works some days for fourteen hours And you can bet he barely makes a dollar His mother goes to scrub the floors for many And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny Living just enough, just enough for the city.. yeah!
His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty He spends his life walking the streets of New York City He's almost dead from breathing in air pollution He tried to vote but to him there's no solution Living just enough, just enough for the city..
I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow This place is cruel no where could be much colder If we don't change the world will soon be over
Living just enough... For the city... ooh, ooh (Repeat several times)
You tell me there's an angel in your tree Did he say he'd come to call on me For things are getting desperate in our home Living in the parish of the restless folks I know
Everybody now bring your family down to the riverside Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps It's time we put the flame torch to their keep
Burn down the mission If we're gonna stay alive Watch the black smoke fly to heaven See the red flame light the sky
Burn down the mission Burn it down to stay alive It's our only chance of living Take all you need to live inside
Deep in the woods the squirrels are out today My wife cried when they came to take me away But what more could I do just to keep her warm Than burn burn burn burn down the mission walls
Bring your family down to the riverside Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps It's time we put the flame torch to their keep
It's getting near dawn. The lights close their tired eyes. I'll soon be with you, my love, to give you my dawn surprise. I'll be with you, darling, soon, I'll be with you when the stars start falling.
I've been waiting so long to be where I'm going in the sunshine of your love.
I'm with you, my love. The light shining through on you. Yes, I'm with you, my love, it's the morning and just we two. I'll stay with you, darling, now, I'll stay with you till my seeds are dried up.
I've been waiting so long to be where I'm going in the sunshine of your love.

Nice girls not one with a defect, cellophane shrink-wrapped, so correct. Red dogs under illegal legs, she looks so good that he gets down and begs.
She is watching the detectives, "ooh, he's so cute!" She is watching the detectives, when they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot. They beat him up until the teardrops start, But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart.
Long shot of that jumping sign, visible shivers running down my spine. Cut the baby taking off her clothes. Close-up of the sign that says,"We never close" You snatch a tune, you a match a cigarette, She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet. I don't know how much more of this I can take. She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake.
She is watching the detectives...
You think you're alone until you realize you're in it. Now fear is here to stay. Love is here for a visit. They call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit. Someone's scratching at the window. I wonder who is it? The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance. Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay, it only took my little fingers to blow you away.
Just like watching the detectives, don't get cute!" It's just like watching the detectives. I get so angry when the teardrops start, but he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart. Just like watching the detectives..
Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby, Can't buy a thrill. Well, I've been up all night, baby, Leanin' on the window sill. Well, if I die On top of the hill And if I don't make it, You know my baby will.
And if I don't make it, You know my baby will.
Now the wintertime is coming, The windows are filled with frost. I went to tell everybody, But I could not get across. Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss. Don't say I never warned you When your train gets lost.
Don't say I never warned you When your train gets lost.
It's not your situation I just need contemplation over you I'm not so systematic it's just that I'm an addict for your love Not the only one that holds you I never ever should have told you You're my only girl I'm not the only one that holds you I never ever should have told you You're my only world Just think how long I've known you it's long for me to own you lock and key It's really not confusin I'm just the young illusion can't you see I'm not the only one that holds you I never ever should have told you You're my only girl I'm not the only one that holds you I never ever should have told you You're my only world Georgy Porgy pudding pie kissed the girls and made them cry Georgy Porgy pudding pie Kissed the girls and made them cry Georgy Porgy pudding pie Kissed the girls and made them cry Kissed the girls and made them cry Kissed the girls and made them cry

You never lose a minute, if in it there is love And "old man time" always pulls you through It's better not to depend on the morning dew For the rose you plant in your bed tends to you, hard and blue
Some folks take money, some take their life, some take forever to see Blind faith, blind love, they're no mystery to me You must take the time, for that's the fee
Chorus: It's worth the pain that makes the tears It's worth the light of a million years Only your love I can't explain, you are the flower for my rain
You light the sun that shines from my eyes It's all in return for what you're givin' me You are the reason for the earth beneath my feet And you kill the space that I call free
Chorus:
(Instrumental break)
You are the flower for my rain, you are the flower for my rain You are the flower for my rain, you are the flower for my rain You are the flower for my rain, you are the flower for my rain
Well I'm out on the road, and the devil's got my soul And I'm looking for the Lord in New York City
Yeah I'm out on the run, got some heat, got a gun If they don't find me soon, it'll be a damn pity
So it's
Chorus: Goodbye girl, goodbye girl, girl goodbye It's so hard to see the truth with the sun in your eyes Goodbye girl, goodbye girl, girl goodbye Must be in the way that she cries, must be in the way that she cries Must be in the way that she cries
Oh there's smoke in the air and there's blood everywhere But I'm hoping that the white man don't recognize me
I'm so sorry what I've done, and I say it not in fun When I tell you that there's no one left inside me
Don't know quite what to say, haven't seen you in seven ages Can you tell that it's me, or is my picture on torn out pages?
Chorus: And you think it's real, but it's just another future deal And you know you're right, 'cause you've waited for it all night Then you find yourself, sitting on a little shelf
Don't know quite what to do, I've been acting my life in phases Is it really true that they're keeping us locked in cages?
It's not in the way that you hold me it's not in the way you say you care It's not in the way you've been treating my friends It's not in the way that you stayed till the end It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do Hold the line love isn't always on time oh oh oh Hold the line love isn't always on time oh oh oh It's not in the words that you told me girl It's not in the way you say you're mine ooh It's not in the way that you came back to me It's not in the way that your love set me free It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do Hold the line love isn't always on time oh oh oh Hold the line love isn't always on time oh oh oh
It's not in the words that you told me It's not in the way you say you're mine ooh It's not in the way that you came back to me It's not in the way that your love set me free It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do Hold the line love isn't always on time oh oh oh Hold the line love isn't always on time love isn't always on time Hold the line love isn't always on time love isn't always love isn't always on time Hold the line love isn't always on time love isn't always on time Love isn't always on time love isn't always on time oh oh oh
