Dear landlord
Please don't put a price on my soul
My burden is heavy
My dreams are beyond control
When that steamboat whistle blows
I'm gonna give you all I got to give
And I do hope you receive it well
Depending on the way you feel that you live.

Dear landlord
Please heed these words that I speak
I know you've suffered much
But in this you are not so unique
All of us, at times we might work too hard
To have it too fast and too much
And anyone can fill his life up
With things he can see but he just cannot touch.

Dear landlord
Please don't dismiss my case
I'm not about to argue
I'm not about to move to no other place
Now, each of us has his own special gift
And you know this was meant to be true
And if you don't underestimate me
I won't underestimate you.

Well, it's five o'clock in the morning
Feel just like the end of a mule
Somebody's been yawning
Trying to break out the rules
Yes, it's high time we went
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went there?
Ain't it high time we went?

Well, it's four o'clock in the morning
Somebody's shouting the news
Nobody's been yawning
Preachers all around for the blues
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?

Three o'clock and I'm dreaming
Somebody's shouting the way
Nobody can see me
Trying to find a brand new day
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?

Two o'clock and I'm rolling
Everywhere I look is the same
Somebody's been calling
Trying to put the blame on my name
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?

It's one o'clock and I'm falling
Falling for the same old game
Somebody's been shouting
Let me be by the stage
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?

Well, it's twelve o'clock and I got there
Didn't think I'd make it in time
Somebody's been shouting
“Don't forget the lemon and lime"
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?

MIDNIGHT RIDER

Well, I've got to run to keep from hidin'
And I'm bound to keep on ridin'
And I've got one more silver dollar

But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
And the road goes on forever
And I've got one more silver dollar

But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

And I've gone by the point of caring
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing
And I've got one more silver dollar

But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

I went down to st james infirmary
To see my baby there
She was stretched out on a cold white table
So sweet...so lean...and so fair

Let her go...let her go...god bless her
Wherever she may be
She can search the whole wide world
But she'll never find another man like me

When I die you can bury me in plain lace shoes
Stetson with a twenty dollar hat
And put a thirty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
And let the fellas know that I died standing pat

I went down to st james infirmary
And I stole my baby back
She was stretched out on a long white table
So sweet...so cold...and so fair

Baby take off your coat
real slow
and take off your shoes
I'll take your shoes
Baby take off your dress
yes yes yes
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on

Go on over there
turn on the light
no all the lights
Come over here
stand on that chair
that's right
Raise your arms up to the air
now shake 'em

You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
Sweet darling

You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
feeling
you can leave your hat on
you can leave your hat on
you can leave your hat on
you can leave your hat on

Suspicious minds a talkin'
try'n' to tear us apart
they don't believe
in this love of mine
they don't know I love you
they don't know what love is
they don't know what love is
they don't know what love is
I know what love is
Sweet darling
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
Feeling
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on

Sometimes love can't explain
Each and every rule of the game
Still remains a mystery to me
By any other name

Why she can't make up her mind
While he decides to stay
While one surrenders
And the other one's away
But it's too much to understand
Still a man loves a woman; and

When a woman loves a man
A woman loves a man
She does what she can do
He does the best he can

When a woman loves a man
A woman loves a man
She does what she can do
He does the best he can

And I look into her eyes
When the world is out of hand
And I'm so happy

When a woman loves a man
When a woman loves a man
A woman loves a man.....
A woman loves a man

No moon tonight
No nothing to guide me
Still I will find her
Standing beside me

No moon tonight
There's nothing to guide me
But still I will find her
Standing beside me

Theres darkness everywhere
Still I'll find her
Standing beside me
Standing beside me

She's a woman of strength
He's a man of conviction
But sometimes the truth
Is stronger than fiction

When a woman loves a man
A woman loves a man
She does what she can do
He does the best he can

When a woman loves a man
When that woman loves a man
She does what she can do
He does the best he can

No moon tonight
No nothing to guide me
Still I will find her
Standing beside me

No moon tonight
No nothing to guide me
Still I will find her
Standing beside me

No moon tonight
Nothing to guide me
Still I will find her
Standing beside me

When a woman loves a man
A woman loves a man
She does what she can do
But I do all I can...

When a woman loves a man...

Baby, baby, here, look at me, yes, I know, I know
Maybe, maybe, it's not worth a damn
All the things we do to ourselves, we don't understand
But who can say what tomorrow will be, we'll see

All our tomorrows find their own ways
And hear the sound of a distant thunder fading away
Well, every lonely night we'll make our own brand of delight
And take all the comfort we may

Baby, baby, just look at me, yes, it shows how it shows
Nothing worked out but I thought it would
I could've done worst in a soul, I must have done good
But who can say what tomorrow will be, we'll see

All our tomorrows find their own ways
(Find their own ways)
And hear the sound of a distant thunder fading away
For every lonely night we'll make our own brand of delight
And take all the comfort we may

I found a love in the strangest place
And refuge from the cold of the night
In a stranger's face, your face

For every lonely night we'll make our own brand of delight
And take all the comfort we may

All our tomorrows find their own ways
(Find their own ways)
And hear the sound of a distant thunder fading away
For every lonely night, yeah, we'll make our own brand of delight
And take all the comfort we may
Take all this comfort we may

All our tomorrows find their own ways
All our tomorrows fading away
All our tomorrows find their own ways

People say we got it made don't they know we're so afraid
Isolation
we're afraid to be alone, everybody got to have a home
Isolation

Just a boy and a little girl
trying to change the whole wide world
Isolation

All the world is a little town
everybody trying to put us down
Isolation

I don't expect you to understand
after you caused so much pain
But then again you're not to blame
your just a human, a victim of the insane

We're afraid of everyone, afraid of the sun
Isolation

The Sun will never disappear
but the world my not have many years
Isolation

[Verse 1 - Joe]
I see you turnin' the world in your hands
Just let it go
I've loved you better, than ever you wanted
Doesn't it show

[Bridge 1 - Joe]
You've been standin' at the window, day & night
Lookin' at the rain
A simple conversation
A helpless situation
Please let me explain

[Chorus 1 - Joe]
Trust In Me, when you're all alone
Trust In Me, when you can't go on
If lovin' me is what you need
Trust In Me

[Verse 2 - Joe]
Don't make it easy
I don't mind
There's somethin' I can do

[Verse 3 - Sass]
And just try to see what you see
And I'll be there for you

[Bridge 2 - Both]
You've been standin' at the window, day & night
Tell me what you see
Sun in the daytime
Moon at night
That's how easy it should be

[Chorus 1 - Both]
Trust In Me, when you're all alone
Trust In Me, when you can't go on
If lovin' me is what you need
Trust In Me

[Chorus 2 - Both]
Trust In Me, when you can't go on
Trust In Me, when your strength is gone
If lovin' me is the power to heal
Trust In Me

[Bridge 3 - Both]
If you need someone to hold ya
Call me, I'll be there
And if ever you're in trouble
And you need someone darlin'
Call me, call me, call me, call me

Move a little closer
A little closer to the bone
Move on in
Oh darlin', move on in

Unchain my heart, baby let me be
Cause you don't care, help me, set me free

Unchain my heart, baby let me go
Unchain my heart, cause you don't love me no more
Everytime I call you on the phone
Some fellow tells me that you're not at home
Unchain my heart, set me free

Unchain my heart, baby let me be
Unchain my heart, cause you don't care about me
You got me sewed up like a narrow case
But you let my love go to waste
Unchain my heart, set me free

I'm under your spell, like a man in a trance, oh yeah
Oh but you know damn well, that I don't stand a chance

Unchain my heart, let me go my way
Unchain my heart, you worry me night and day
Why lead me through a life of misery
When you don't care a bag of beans for me
Unchain my heart, oh please, let me be

I'm under your spell, just like a man in a trance, baby
But you know damn well, that I don't stand a chance

Please take my heart, let me go my way
Unchain my heart, you were mean that day
Why lead me through a life of misery
When you don't care a bag of beans for me
Unchain my heart, oh please, set me free

Seems I got to have a change of scene
Cause every night I have the strangest dreams
Imprisoned by the way it used to be
Left here on my own or so it seems
I got to leave before I start to scream
But someone's locked the door and took the key

Feelin' alright
Not feelin' too good myself
Feelin' alright
Not feelin' too good myself

Boy you sure took me for one big ride
Even now I sit and wonder why
And when I think of you I start to cry
Got to stop belivin' in all your lies
Cause I got to much to do before I die

Before someone comes along and takes my place
With a different name and yes a different face

Yes, baby, I been drinkin'
And I shouldn't come by I know
But I found myself in trouble
And I had nowhere else to go

Got some whisky from the barman
Got some cocaine from a friend
I just had to keep on movin'
Til I was back in your arms again

Guilty, baby I'm guilty
And I'll be guilty the rest of my life
How come I never do what I'm supposed to do
How come nothin' that I try to do ever turns out right?

You know, you know how it is with me baby
You know, I just can't stand myself
And it takes a whole lot of medicine
For me to pretend that I'm somebody else

Well, it's five o'clock in the morning
feel just like the end of a mule
Somebody's been yawning
trying to break out the rules.
Yes, it's high time we went
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went there?
Ain't it high time we went?

She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon

Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday,
Tuesday's on the phone to me

She said she'd always been a dancer
She worked at 15 clubs a day
And though she thought I knew the answer
Well I knew what I could not say.

And so I quit the police department
And got myself a steady job
And though she tried her best to help me
She could steal but she could not rob

Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday,
Tuesday's on the phone to me
Oh yeah.

This ain't no place for losers
Or the innocent of mind
It's a full time job
For anyone, to stay alive
The streets have shallow boundaries
For the war that's everyone
What a wasteland for
Broken dreams and hired guns
Shelter me, baby shelter me
When I'm sitting like I'm losing ground
Shelter me
I've gone to sleep
But when I open
The other goes my tears
In the darkness
I can I can hide my heart
But non of my fears
In the morning
Like a soldier
I look closed up battleground
Another day
Another part of me
And the world goes round
Shelter me
Won't you shelter me
When I'm sitting like I'm losing ground
Shelter me
Won't you shelter me
Oh, shelter me
When I lose control
Of my own home
Shelter me
Everytime time I tumble down
I want to pack it up and leave this town
But when I finally get the nerve
Get cleared out of the shoes
I'm thanking you
I'm thanking you
Baby shelter me
Please shelter me
When I'm sitting down, and losing ground
Shelter me
Won't you shelter me
When I lose control
Am I alone
Shelter me
Won't you shelter me
Oh, shelter me
Baby please
Oh, shelter me
Stay back and shelter me
Come on and shelter me
When I lose control
Am I alone
Shelter me

Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world where few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When its real I leep it alive
The road is long there are mountains in the way

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles fly on a mountan high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world below
Where the clear winds blow

Some hang on to usued to be
Live there life looking behind
All we have is here and now
All our lives out there to find
The road is long and there are mountains in my way
But we climb the stairs everyday

Time goes by no time to cry
Just you and I alone

Sometimes I watch you
As you're sleeping
And I can't believe
You're really here with me

I've got to pinch myself
To make sure that I'm not dreaming
Oh, something this good
How could it happen to me

I've never been the kind
That's lucky before
But my life changed when
You walked through my door

Now I'm more lucky than
I ever dreamed I would be

What are you doing with a fool like me
You could've found someone better
Who's a better one than me
Could've had anybody, I just don't see
What are you doing, what are you doing
With a fool like me

I know loving me ain't easy
Seems like I never say
The things I ought to say

It's like I'm never there
Girl, when you need me
Sometimes you turn to me
And I just turn away

I'm just a dreamer
With my head in the clouds
You should walk away
But still you stay around

I gave you rain
But rainbows all you see

What are you doing with a fool like me
You could've found someone better
Who's a better one than me
Could've had anybody, I just don't see
What are you doing, what are you doing
With a fool like me

Stand by me through
All the ups and downs
I'll never know

What are you doing with a fool like me
You could've found someone better
Who's a better one than me
Could've had anybody, I just don't see
What are you doing, what are you doing
With a fool like me

What are you doing with a fool like me
You could've had anybody
I just don't see, what are you doing
What are you doing with a fool like me

Yeah, yeah
A fool like me
(What are you doing)
What you doing, baby

(What are you doing)
With a fool like me

Hold on
I'll be back for you
It won't be long
But for now there's something else
That's calling me
So take me down a lonesome road
Point me east and let me go
That suitcase weighs me down
With memories

I just wanna be the one you run to
I just wanna be the one you come to
I just wanna be there for someone
When the night comes
Let's put all the cares behind us
And go where they'll never find us
I just wanna be there beside you
When the night comes
When the night comes

Two spirits in the night
That can leave before the morning light
When there's nothing left to lose
And nothing left to fear
So meet me on the edge of town
Won't keep you waiting I'll be 'round
Then you and I
We'll just roll right out of here

I just wanna be the one you run to
I just wanna be the one you come to
I just wanna be there for someone
When the night comes
Let's put all the cares behind us
And go where they'll never find us
I just wanna be there beside you
When the night comes
When the night comes

I know there'll be a time for you and I
Just take my hand and run away
Think of all the pieces of the shattered dream
We're gonna make it out some day
We'll be coming back
Coming back to stay
When the night comes

I wanna be the one you run to
When the night comes
To be the one you'd come to
I wanna be the one you run to
Ooh
I just wanna be the one you run to
Wanna be the one you come to
I just wanna be there for someone
When the night comes
Let's put all the cares behind us
And go where they'll never find us
I just wanna be there beside you
When the night comes
When the night comes
Ah ah when the night comes
When the night rolls down
Ah ah when the night comes
I wanna be with you
Ah ah when the night comes
Oh ah when the night comes in
Ah ah oh
Ah ah when the night comes
When the night comes
Ah ah when the night comes
I wanna be right by your side
Ah ah when the night comes
Yes baby
Ah ah oh
Don't do that to me woman
Ah ah oh
Ever stayed when the night time gets in here
Ah ah when the night comes
I wanna rise and up in the
When the night comes
Ah ah when the night comes
Ah ah oh
Love me

What would you think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me ?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away
(Does it worry you to be alone ?)
How do I feel by the end of the day,
(Are you sad because you're on your own ?)

No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.

Would you believe in a love at first sight
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light
I can't tell you but I know it's mine,

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody
I just need someone to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
with a little help from my friends.

You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
Can't you see
Your everything I hoped for
Your everything I need
You are so beautiful to me

Such joy and happiness you bring
Such joy and happiness you bring
Like a dream
A guiding light that shines in the night
Heavens gift to me
You are so beautiful to me

Baby take off your coat
real slow
and take off your shoes
I'll take your shoes
Baby take off your dress
yes yes yes
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on

Go on over there
turn on the light
no all the lights
Come back here
stand on this chair
that's right
Raise your arms up to the air
no shake 'em

You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
Sweet darling

You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
feeling
you can leave your hat on
you can leave your hat on
you can leave your hat on
you can leave your hat on

Suspicious minds a talkin'
try'n' to tear us apart
they don't believe
in this love of mine
they don't know I love you
they don't know what love is
they don't know what love is
they don't know what love is
I know what love is
Sweet darling
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
Feeling
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change.
You are the reason I've been waiting so long.
Somebody holds the key.

But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home.

Come down on your own and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change.
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years.
Somebody holds the key.

But I can't find my way home.
But I can't find my way home.
But I can't find my way home.
But I can't find my way home.
Still I can't find my way home,
And I ain't done nothing wrong,
But I can't find my way home.

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone.

And I ain't done nothing wrong,
But I can't find my way home.

I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I can't find the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal

I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I can't find the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal

I saw you
That was all I had to see
Wanted you
Had to have you next to me
From that moment
I knew that you'd be all I'd ever need
And there's a place inside my heart
Nobody's touched before
And when I found you
I found all that I'd been searching for
You turned my world around

All I know
Is that it feels like forever
All I know
Yes I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together
And I never wanna see it slip away
I'll never let you go
Is all I know

Hold me
Love is here for us to make
Stay with me
Let's put our hearts in the hands of fate
Time will tell us
If what we've got was worth the wait
And there's a fire that's been burning deep inside of me
And I don't need nobody else
'Cause now you're here with me
You've turned my world around

All I know
That it feels like forever
All I know
Is I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together
And I never want to see it slip away
I'll never let you go
Is all I know

I might have never met you
At another time or place
Never I never could forget you
I could never walk away
That's all I know
'Cause there's a place inside my heart
Nobody's touched before
And when I found you
I found all that I'd been searching for
You've turned my world around

All I know
Is it feels like forever
All I know
Is I love the way it feels
All I see
is how good we are together
And I never want to see it slip away
I'll never let you go

All I know
Is it feels like forever
All I know
Is I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together
And I never want to see it slip away
I'll never let you go
It's all I know
Is it feels like forever
All I know
Is I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together

It took 5 women 2 getcha off of my mind
It took 5 months, a plenty good wasted time
But it just took 5 minutes when I saw your face again
2 fall in love all over, I guess with U I'll never win

March was a cold one in more ways than one
Went down 2 the nightclub lookin' 4 the sun
Lookin' 4 a light that could brighten up a day
That's been darker than a hole since U went away

April usually brings showers
This time it was a hurtin' kind
This woman said she wanted my baby
I told her I'd have 2 be deaf, dumb, and blind
2 fall in love with someone that I barely knew
The baby would never really have a father
Cuz I still, cuz I still, cuz I still, still, still, huh
Be stuck on U

It took 5 women 2 getcha off of my mind
Get off my mind, baby
Fallin' in love all over... U I'll never win

May was her name, she was jumpin'
Jumpin' from plane 2 plane
Actress or model or somethin'
Can't even remember her first name

June brought an Easter bunny
Needless 2 say, hmph, that girl was late
Told a made-up story 2 a busy-body of our only date
What a sketch!

July was a heartbreak, extraordinary
Said I met this woman whose kiss was somethin' scary
It felt so much, so much like yours
But it only made me, made me want U more
She's gone, she's gone but U're still here
I want U very..., huh, it's U I fear

But it took 5 women 2 get U off my mind
It took 5 months, 5 months, a plenty good wasted time
But it just took 5 minutes and I saw your face again
I fell in love all over with U, I guess I'll never win
(I'll never win)

It's so cold on this balancing beam
I lose my breath each time I scream
All the time that it takes on this cliff
I simply wish that you were here
I must be in love with you
Be in love with you
Be in love with you
I must be in love with you
I think you're the reason
I can see the water
I don't feel so lonely
That I hear the river
On a night like tonight in the park
I sit alone out in the dark
On the days I'm waiting for you
It seems that
Water must break through
I must be in love with you
Yes be in love with you
I can hear the river
I can see the water
I must be in love with you
When I'm near the river
I see the bridges
I can feel the morning
I can almost touch you
When I'm near the river
Be in love with you
I can hear the river
Can see the water
I don't feel so lonely
When I'm near the river
I hear the river tide
Now that I feel the morning
I don't feel so lonely
When I'm near the river
Hear the tide

It's so cold on this balancing beam

Well, I think it's time to get ready
To realize just what I have found
I've been only half of what I am
It's all clear to me now

My heart is on fire, my soul's like a wheel that's turnin'
My love is alive, My love is alive

There's somethin' inside that's makin' me crazy
I'll try to keep it together
'Cause what I say may not happen the same way
Not to be for ever and ever

My heart is on fire, my soul's like a wheel that's turnin'
My love is alive, My love is alive

My love is alive
My love is alive

Is there a movie inside my mind
Reflectin' the love that you shine on me
Hold on now, to that feelin'
Let it flow, let it run, yeah

My heart is on fire, my soul's like a wheel that's turnin'
My love is alive, My love is alive

My love is alive
My love is alive

Well, I think it's time to get ready

The night gang started working
With a mile of southern road
As I watched
I got to thinking
You ain't never coming home
I looked out of nowhere
There was nobody at all
To get me help
To get through to you
I'm here making night calls

Night calls
Making night calls
Night calls
Making night calls

I gave
I tried too hard to reach you
But you must be moving fast
All my hopes about the future
Will just live on
Into the past
You know that it ain't easy
And the twilight starts to fade
Shouldn't you
The chill of the morning
Thinking of the plans we made

Oh, night calls
Making night calls
Let it ring
The night calls
Making night calls
Oh, night calls
Give up those night calls

The night gang started working

You ain't never coming home

In my life
I've seen sorrow
Heartache and pain
I've been burned by the sunshine
Been drowned in the pouring rain
Had too many lovers
And not enough love
I've been tried and convicted
For things I'm not guilty of
I was locked in a prison
Till you came and set me free
So how can you say
You're no good for me

Now that the magic has gone
You just wanna walk away
Nothing left to say, anyway
Now that the magic has gone
There's no sense in holding on
Baby now, now that the magic is gone

You know love can be tender
Love can be cruel
It can smile like an angel
While it treats you just like a fool
It captures and haunts you
Until you give in
And it stacks the dice against you
In a game you never can win
Just when I was thinking
Maybe luck was here with me
You tell me it's over
Say it's time for breaking free

Now that the magic has gone
You just wanna walk away
Nothing left to say, anyway
Now that the magic has gone
There's no sense in holding on
Baby now, now that the magic is gone

I won't try to hold you down
My mind tells me let go
But my heart keeps asking how
There's no prizes for the loser
Only the winner takes the purse
Some say that love is a blessing
But to me it's just a curse

Now that the magic has gone
You just wanna walk away
Nothing left to say, anyway
Now that the magic has gone
There's no sense in holding on
Baby now that the magic is gone
Now that the magic has gone
You just wanna walk away
Nothing left to say

Out Of The Rain, Under The Shelter I've Been So Long Where The Sun Don't Shine Standing At The Cross-Roads, Could Have Went Ither Way But Now I've Found You And The Storm Is Behind

Over The Wall, I'm Out In The Open Back On The Right Track, I'm Feeling No Pain You Took A Sparrow And Let It Fly With The Eagles I Can See A Long Ways, I Feel Love Again

Out Of The Rain, Out Of The Rain

Out Of The Rain, Out Of The Rain Out Of The Rain, Out Of The Rain

We start a fight, who knows what for
Who knows who's winning, or who's keeping score
You say it's all right, as you slam the door
All I can say is, "Please no more, please no more."

I've had enough after how I swore
I'd never give you up
Loving you was easy, but one thing's for sure
It ain't me, it ain't me, you're trying to please no more.

Passions will burn, burn endlessly
All that's left behind are these broken dreams
While I still got some pieces laid out on the floor
I'm asking you baby, "Please no more, please no more."

Unchain my heart, baby let me be
Cause you don't care, help me, set me free

Unchain my heart, baby let me go
Unchain my heart, cause you don't love me no more
Everytime I call you on the phone
Some fellow tells me that you're not at home
Unchain my heart, set me free

Unchain my heart, baby let me be
Unchain my heart, cause you don't care about me
You got me sewed up like a narrow case
But you let my love go to waste
Unchain my heart, set me free

I'm under your spell, like a man in a trance, oh yeah
Oh but you know damn well, that I don't stand a chance

Unchain my heart, let me go my way
Unchain my heart, you worry me night and day
Why lead me through a life of misery
When you don't care a bag of beans for me
Unchain my heart, oh please, let me be

I'm under your spell, just like a man in a trance, baby
But you know damn well, that I don't stand a chance

Please take my heart, let me go my way
Unchain my heart, you were mean that day
Why lead me through a life of misery
When you don't care a bag of beans for me
Unchain my heart, oh please, set me free

When a woman cries
When a woman cries
She can wash your world away
When stars fill her eyes
When stars fill her eyes
You'll never know just what to say
Don't say a word
Don't say anything
She don't need your truth or lies
Just hold her close and love her
When the woman cries
When a woman cries
When a woman cries
There is no sadder song
So you apologize
You apologize
Even if you don't know that you've done wrong
But if you really want to make her happy
To stop her sobbing and her sound
Just hold her close and love
When the woman cries
Just don't waste your time thinking
Of the right thing to say
Just put your arms around her
Till the clouds are all away
When a woman cries
When a woman cries
She can tear your world apart
When stars fill her eyes
When stars fill her eyes
It can break a poor man's soul
And if you find that you are crying too
Don't let it come as no surprise
Just hold her close and love her
When your woman cries
When the woman cries
When the woman cries
She can tear your world apart
When stars fill her eyes
When stars fil her eyes
It can break a poor man's heart
When that woman
When that woman cries
That girl can wash your world away

When a woman cries
When a woman cries
She can wash your world away
When stars fill her eyes
When stars fill her eyes
You'll never know just what to say
Don't say a word
Don't say anything
She don't need your truth or lies
Just hold her close and love her

When that woman
When that woman cries
That girl can wash your world away

Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on
Feeling two foot small
Everywhere people stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say

Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away

How can I even try
I can never win
Hearing them seeing them
In the state I'm in
How could she say to me
Love will find a way
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say

Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away

Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on
Feeling two foot small
Everywhere people stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say

Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away

How can I even try
I can never win
Hearing them seeing them
In the state I'm in
How could she say to me
Love will find a way
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say

Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away

I see you turnin' the world in your hands
Just let it go
I've loved you better, than ever you wanted
Doesn't it show

You've been standin' at the window, day & night
Lookin' at the rain
A simple conversation
A helpless situation
Please let me explain

*Trust In Me, when you're all alone
Trust In Me, when you can't go on
If lovin' me is what you need
Trust In Me

Don't make it easy
I don't mind
There's somethin' I can do

And just try to see what you see
And I'll be there for you

You've been standin' at the window, day & night
Tell me what you see
Sun in the daytime
Moon at night
That's how easy it should be

*Repeat

Trust In Me, when you can't go on
Trust In Me, when your strength is gone
If lovin' me is the power to heal
Trust In Me

If you need someone to hold ya
Call me, I'll be there
(Call me, I'll be there)
And if ever you're in trouble
And you need someone darlin'
Call me, call me, call me, call me
Trust In Me

Move a little closer
A little closer to the bone
Move on in
Oh darlin', move on in

*Repeat

Pack up all my cares and woes
Feeling low here I go
Bye bye blackbird

Where somebody waits for me
Sugar sweet so is she
Bye bye blackbird

No one seems to love or understand me
And all the hard luck stories they keep handing me


Where somebody shines the light
I'll be coming on home tonight
Bye bye blackbird

Nobody seems to love or understand me
And all the hard luck stories they keep on handing me
Where somebody shines the light
I'm coming on home tonight
Bye bye blackbird

Bye bye blackbird

Where somebody waits for me
Sugar sweet so is she
Bye bye blackbird

No one seems to love or understand me
And all the hard luck stories they keep handing me


Where somebody shines the light
I'll be coming on home tonight
Bye bye blackbird

Nobody seems to love or understand me
And all the hard luck stories they keep on handing me
Where somebody shines the light
I'm coming on home tonight
Bye bye blackbird

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change.
You are the reason I've been waiting so long.
Somebody holds the key.

But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home.

Come down on your own and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change.
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years.
Somebody holds the key.

But I can't find my way home.
But I can't find my way home.
But I can't find my way home.
But I can't find my way home.
Still I can't find my way home,
And I ain't done nothing wrong,
But I can't find my way home.

Woman of the country now I've found you
Longing in your soft and fertile delta
And I whisper sighs to satisfy your longing
for the warmth and tender shelter of my body
Oh you're my, yes you're my Delta Lady
Yes, you're my, me oh my, Delta Lady

Please don't ask how many times I found you
Standing wet and naked in the garden
And I think of days and diff'rent ways I held you
Held you closely to me, yes our heart was beating
Oh you're my...

Oh, and I'm over here in England
But I think of you, think about you...
Because I love you,

There are concrete mountains in the city
And pretty city women live inside them
And yet it seems the city scene is lacking
I'm so glad you're waiting for me in the country
Oh you're my...

Fat man lookin' in a blade of steel
Thin man lookin' at his last meal
Hollow man lookin' in a cottonfield
For dignity

Wise man lookin' in a blade of grass
Young man lookin' in the shadows that pass
Poor man lookin' through painted glass
For dignity

Somebody got murdered on New Year's Eve
Somebody said dignity was the first to leave
I went into the city, went into the town
Went into the land of the midnight sun

Searchin' high, searchin' low
Searchin' everywhere I know
Askin' the cops wherever I go
Have you seen dignity?

Blind man breakin' out of a trance
Puts both his hands in the pockets of chance
Hopin' to find one circumstance
Of dignity

I went to the wedding of Mary-lou
She said 'I don't want nobody see me talkin' to you"
Said she could get killed if she told me what she knew
About dignity

I went down where the vultures feed
I would've got deeper, but there wasn't any need
Heard the tongues of angels and the tongues of men
Wasn't any difference to me

Chilly wind sharp as a razor blade
House on fire, debts unpaid
Gonna stand at the window, gonna ask the maid
Have you seen dignity?

Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears
In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors
Lookin' into the lost forgotten years
For dignity

Met Prince Phillip at the home of the blues
Said he'd give me information if his name wasn't used
He wanted money up front, said he was abused
By dignity

Footprints runnin' cross the silver sand
Steps goin' down into tattoo land
I met the sons of darkness and the sons of light
In the bordertowns of despair

Got no place to fade, got no coat
I'm on the rollin' river in a jerkin' boat
Tryin' to read a note somebody wrote
About dignity

Sick man lookin' for the doctor's cure
Lookin' at his hands for the lines that were
And into every masterpiece of literature
for dignity

Englishman stranded in the blackheart wind
Combin' his hair back, his future looks thin
Bites the bullet and he looks within
For dignity

Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed
Dignity never been photographed
I went into the red, went into the black
Into the valley of dry bone dreams

So many roads, so much at stake
So many dead ends, I'm at the edge of the lake
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take
To find dignity

Baby you understand me now
If sometimes I get a little mad
don't you know no one alive
can always be an angel
when things goes wrong
your bound to see some bad

Oh but I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh lord , please don't let me be misunderstood

you know sometimes, I'm so carefree
with a joy that?s hard to hide
then sometimes again it seems
all I have is worry
then your bound to see the other side

Oh but I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh lord , please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy I want you to know
I didn't mean to take it out on you
life has it's problems and i've got my share
but thats one thing I never ment to do
cause I love you

Now baby I'm just human
got my faults like anyone else
but sometimes I find myself
all alone regreting
all the foolish things that I have done

Oh but I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh lord , please don't let me be misunderstood

(Tony Joe White/Michae Dan Ehmig)


A Heart Full Of Rain And Memories
I'm Feeling The Strain And Missing You So Desperately
I Need The Shelter Of Your Arms Tonight Oh Baby,
I Need You By My Side

I Don't Know Why Things Go The Way They Do
They Just Keep Taking Me Down
I Can't Deny I'm So Into You
And Lost When Your Not Around
If I Could Hold You
I Could Let Go Of The Pain
But Tonight I've Got A Heart Full Of Rain

Unkind Words Blindly Spoken Faith Was Broken
And You Walked Away From The World
Our Love Has Created Hope Has Faded
Return Your Flame To This Heart Full Of Rain

A Heart Full Of Rain And Memories
Love's Not In Vain Even If You Should Say
You No Longer Need Me
I'll Keep Believing Until All Thet Remains
Is Your Memories And A Heart Full Of Rain
Your Memory And A Heart Full Of Rain

HIGH LONESOME BLUE

I'm coming home, needing attention
Breaking down, I need some rest
I'm like a man from the third dimension
This way of life put me to the test

I used to be a drummer man
Kept it in the groove
Then I had a change of heart
Started singing the blues

That's what I choose
Leaving me high lonesome blue

Time moves on I'm riding with it
There's no choice, it's out of my hands
This is my way and I won't quit it
Fragile, like a rope of sand

There's a place high on a mountain
Where I go to find relief
Get my feet back on the ground
Set my spirit free

Put on my walking shoes
Got the high lonesome blue

There's nothing left to prove
High lonesome blue

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will float into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don't have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float into the mystic
Come on girl...

(Jimmy Cliff)


Many Rivers To Cross
But I Can't Seem To Find My Way Over
Wandering I'm Lost
As I Travel Along The White Cliffs Of Dover

Many Rivers To Cross
And It's Only My Will That Keeps Me Alive
I've Been Ripped, Washed Up For Years
And I Merely Survive Because Of My Pride

And This Loneliness Won't Leave Me Alone
It's Such A Drag To Be On Your Own
My Women Left Me But She Wouldn't Say Why
Guess I'll Just Break Right Down And Cry

Many Rivers To Cross
But Just Where To Begin
I'm Playing For Time
There've Been Times I Find Myself
Thinking Of Committing Some Terrible Crime

Still This Loneliness Won't Leave Me Alone
It's Such A Drag To Be On Your Own
My Girl Left Me But She Wouldn't Say Why
Guess I'll Just Break Right Down And Cry

Many Rivers To Cross
But I Can't Seem To Find My Way Over
Wandering I Am Lost
As I Travel Along The White Cliffs Of Dover

Many Rivers To Cross
And It's Only My Will That Keeps Me Alive
I've Been Ripped, Washed Up For Years
And I Merely Survive Because Of My Pride

Cut all your ties and come along
the winds of change are blowing strong
your time is here, so take it
and I know you make it right, make it right

Life is short, no time to wait
the tide is high, dont hesitate
time is precious, please dont waste it
this is your life, so make it right, make it right

Sail away, you can fly
on the wings of freedom you can reach the sky
sail away, dream your dreams
you will always find a way to make your feelings come true

A going stuff for me and you
and you keep going right on through
your time is here, so take it
in the end, I know, you make it right, make it right

Sail away...

See how time just slips away
today was tomorrow yesterday
when you see a chance, then take it
when you find love, so make it right, make it right

Sail away...

On this wings of freedom, you can reach the sky
sail away, dream your dreams...

Here we are on earth together,
It's you and I,
God has made us fall in love, it's true,
I've really found someone like you

Will it say the love you feel for me, will it say,
That you will be by my side
To see me through,
Until my life is through

Well, in my mind, we can conquer the world,
In love you and I, you and I, you and I

I am glad at least in my life I found someone
That may not be here forever to see me through,
But I found strength in you,
I only pray that I have shown you a brighter day,
Because that's all that I am living for, you see,
Don't worry what happens to me

Cause' in my mind, you will stay here always,
In love, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I
In my mind we can conquer the world
In love, you and I, you and I, you and I

You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
Can't you see
Your everything I hoped for
Your everything I need
You are so beautiful to me

Such joy and happiness you bring
Such joy and happiness you bring
Like a dream
A guiding light that shines in the night
Heavens gift to me
You are so beautiful to me

Baby take off your coat
real slow
and take off your shoes
I'll take your shoes
Baby take off your dress
yes yes yes
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on

Go on over there
turn on the light
no all the lights
Come over here
stand on that chair
that's right
Raise your arms up to the air
now shake 'em

You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
Sweet darling

You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
feeling
you can leave your hat on
you can leave your hat on
you can leave your hat on
you can leave your hat on

Suspicious minds a talkin'
try'n' to tear us apart
they don't believe
in this love of mine
they don't know I love you
they don't know what love is
they don't know what love is
they don't know what love is
I know what love is
Sweet darling
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
Feeling
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on

Russell
I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Daring can't you please see through me
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for 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 is in there hiding
I love you in place where there's no space or time
I love you for in 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

I need a destination of the black eyed blues
Total destination of the colour I choose
Now I don’t mind if it turned me around
Just as long as it gets fine oh it gets bound

A sudden hesitation to the black eyed shoes
A total destination of the colour you choose
oh I don’t mind if you let it ride
Just as long as you let it shine, oh let it shine

Tell you I need a destination of the black eyed blues
Total destination of the colour I choose
Now I don’t mind if it turned me around
Just as long as it gets fine oh it gets bound

Oh sweet indoctrination of they old time blues
Total fascination of the colour I choose
Whoo I don’t mind if let the poor down
Just as long as its turning around, oh its turning around

Tell you want feel the destination of the black eyed blues
Total destination of the colour I choose
I don’t mind witch way you want to go
Just as long as you let it show, let it show
Performed by Joe Cocker
As noticed from record with my Dutch ears

Pack up all my cares and woes
Feeling low here I go
Bye bye blackbird

Where somebody waits for me
Sugar sweet so is she
Bye bye blackbird

No one seems to love or understand me
And all the hard luck stories they keep handing me


Where somebody shines the light
I'll be coming on home tonight
Bye bye blackbird

Nobody seems to love or understand me
And all the hard luck stories they keep on handing me
Where somebody shines the light
I'm coming on home tonight
Bye bye blackbird

Dylan-Levy

Lazy stadium night
Catfish on the mound.
'Strike three,' the umpire said,
Batter have to go back and sit down.

Catfish, million-dollar-man,
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can.

Used to work on Mr. Finley's farm
But the old man wouldn't pay
So he packed his glove and took his arm
An' one day he just ran away.

Catfish, million-dollar-man,
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can.

Come up where the Yankees are,
Dress up in a pinstripe suit,
Smoke a custom-made cigar,
Wear an alligator boot.

Catfish, million-dollar-man,
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can.

Carolina born and bred,
Love to hunt the little quail.
Got a hundred-acre spread,
Got some huntin' dogs for sale.

Catfish, million-dollar-man,
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can.

Reggie Jackson at the plate
Seein' nothin' but the curve,
Swing too early or too late
Got to eat what Catfish serve.

Catfish, million-dollar-man,
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can.

Even Billy Martin grins
When the Fish is in the game.
Every season twenty wins
Gonna make the Hall of Fame.

Catfish, million-dollar-man,
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can.

Come
And talk of all the things we did today
Here
And laugh about our funny little ways
While we have a few minutes to breathe
Then I know that it's time you must leave

But darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

And now
A quarter of my life is almost past
I think I've come to see myself at last
And I see that the time spent confused
Was the time that I spent without you
And I feel myself in bloom

So darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

Darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

Go
And beat your crazy head against the sky
Try
And see beyond the houses and your eyes
It's ok to shoot the moon

So darling
My darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

Dear landlord
Please don't put a price on my soul
My burden is heavy
My dreams are beyond control
When that steamboat whistle blows
I'm gonna give you all I got to give
And I do hope you receive it well
Depending on the way you feel that you live.

Dear landlord
Please heed these words that I speak
I know you've suffered much
But in this you are not so unique
All of us, at times we might work too hard
To have it too fast and too much
And anyone can fill his life up
With things he can see but he just cannot touch.

Dear landlord
Please don't dismiss my case
I'm not about to argue
I'm not about to move to no other place
Now, each of us has his own special gift
And you know this was meant to be true
And if you don't underestimate me
I won't underestimate you.

Woman of the country now I've found you
Longing in your soft and fertile delta
And I whisper sighs to satisfy your longing
for the warmth and tender shelter of my body
Oh you're my, yes you're my Delta Lady
Yes, you're my, me oh my, Delta Lady

Please don't ask how many times I found you
Standing wet and naked in the garden
And I think of days and diff'rent ways I held you
Held you closely to me, yes our heart was beating
Oh you're my...

Oh, and I'm over here in England
But I think of you, think about you...
Because I love you,

There are concrete mountains in the city
And pretty city women live inside them
And yet it seems the city scene is lacking
I'm so glad you're waiting for me in the country
Oh you're my...

Hey there, what'cha gonna do now
You made yourself some new friends, knocking around
But all those wild people,
you know they make me nervous

When the things you said cut me like a knife
Do I still figure in your life
Hey hey hey
Do I still figure in your life

Hey there, well I hardly even know your face
It's got a brand new look about it
that's hard to trace
The tender way you look
the way you're smiling, yeah

To think I once took you for my wife
Do I still figure in your life
Hey hey hey
Do I still figure in your life

Hey there, well I hardly even know your face
It's got a brand new look about it
that's hard to trace
The tender way you look
the way you're smiling

To think I once took you for my wife
Do I still figure in your life
Hey hey hey
Do I still figure in your life

Baby you understand me now
If sometimes I get a little mad
don't you know no one alive
can always be an angel
when things goes wrong
your bound to see some bad

Oh but I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh lord , please don't let me be misunderstood

you know sometimes, I'm so carefree

got my faults like anyone else
but sometimes I find myself
all alone regreting
all the foolish things that I have done

Oh but I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh lord , please don't let me be misunderstood

Seems I've got to have a change of scene
Cause every night I have the strangest dreams
Imprisoned by the way it could have been
Left here on my own or so it seems
I've got to leave before I start to scream
Someone locked the door and turned the key

Feeling alright
I'm not feeling good myself
Feeling alright
I don't have to feel alright
I'm feeling good myself
Boy you sure took me for a ride
And even now I sit and wonder why
That when I think of you I stop myself from crying
I just can't waste my time
I must keep trying

I've got to stop believing all your lies
Cause there's too much to do before I die


Chorus

Don't you get too lost in all I say
But at the time you know
I really felt that way
But that was then and now you know it's today
Lord I can't escape, I guess I'm hHere to stay
Till someone comes along to take my place
With a different name and a different face

Chorus

Well, it's five o'clock in the morning
Feel just like the end of a mule
Somebody's been yawning
Trying to break out the rules
Yes, it's high time we went
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went there?
Ain't it high time we went?

Well, it's four o'clock in the morning
Somebody's shouting the news
Nobody's been yawning
Preachers all around for the blues
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?

Three o'clock and I'm dreaming
Somebody's shouting the way
Nobody can see me
Trying to find a brand new day
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?

Two o'clock and I'm rolling
Everywhere I look is the same
Somebody's been calling
Trying to put the blame on my name
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?

It's one o'clock and I'm falling
Falling for the same old game
Somebody's been shouting
Let me be by the stage
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?

Well, it's twelve o'clock and I got there
Didn't think I'd make it in time
Somebody's been shouting
“Don't forget the lemon and lime"
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?
Ain't it high time we went?

I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis,
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride.
She had to heave me right across her shoulder,
Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind.

It's the honky tonk women,
That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

I laid a divorcee in New York City,
I had to put up some kind of a fight.
The lady, then she covered me in roses,
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind.

It's the honky tonk women,
That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

It's the honky tonk women,
That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

It's the honky tonk women,
That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

I can stand a little rain,
I can stand a little rain,
I can stand a little rain,
Ooh, I can stand a little pain,
But when the rain comes up through the floorboards,
I can stand a little rest!

I can stand a little sorrow,
I can stand it until tomorrow,
I can stand a little sighin',
Oh, just another taste of lyin'!

Oh, I can stand a little love,
I feel I can stand a little love,
And when I'm on my bicycle ride,
I can stand another test.

And I mean it, mean it for ever!
And I can make it, make it,
I said make it somethin' more, oooh-ooh!
Made it before,
Yeah, I'm gonna make it some more!

Newman

Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles to chase love away
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

Lonely, lonely
Tin can at my feet
Think I'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend

Bright before me the signs implore me
To help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

I've got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet, I
can't talk to people that I meet. If I could see you now,
I'd try to make you sad somehow, but I can't so I cry instead.
Don't want to cry when there's people there, I get shy when
they start to stare, I'm gonna hide myself away, ay hay;
but I'll come back again someday.
And when I do you'd better hide all the girls, I'm gonna
break their hearts all 'round the world. Yes, I'm gonna
break them in two, and show you what your loving man can
do, until then I'll cry instead.

I'm so glad I'm standing here today

There were times
I remember
Had to fight just to hold my head up
Those times when even my friends
tried to make a fool of me
there were things that my heart looked at
that they just couldn't see

Some said I was hopeless
Mind tangled in the night
Strong hearts just keep goin'
That is why I'm still standing here today

Come together
raise up your voices
This time my song of love and life won't go away
I'll sing forever
here in the sunshine
I've lived to see the sun break through the storm
And I'm so glad I'm standing here today.

If your lost in your troubles
And the world just seems to forget you
If you remember sunshine
even on your darkest day
Just follow what your heart says
And you will find the way

Some said I was hopeless
Mind tangled in the night
Strong hearts just keep goin'
That is why I'm still standing here today

Come together
raise up your voices
This time my song of love and life won't go away
I'll sing forever
here in the sunshine
I've lived to see the sun break through the storm
And I'm so glad I'm standing here today.
