On the seven seas there was a phantom ship acoming Shinin' in the dead of night I heard the crew a hummin' Tunes that sounded like the Rolling Stones and Leonard Cohen But they didn't know the words So I assumed that they was foreign But I heard t
It's all making me ready It's all doing what you gotta do I know "A" I see my life come shine.
Golden sunrise Tragic daydream I am so afraid -
King of the Universe, Are you King, King of the Earth? King of the Universe, Are you King, King of the Sky? King of the Universe, Are you King, King of the Sky?
Here it comes, another lonely day Playing the game, I'll sail away On a voyage of no return to see If eternal life is meant to be And if I find the key to the eternal dream The painted ladies of the Avalon Play in the sun, take to the road To the north there lies the chills of cold To the south there lies the tales untold But in between their lies, the place to close your eyes And I will stay, I'll not be back Eldorado I will be free of the world Eldorado Say goodbye, the city's heroes sing Bird on the wind Feel, feel so free Through the life upon the rooftop haze All the cheating and the broken days So through it all I see There's nothing left for me Sitting here on top of everywhere What do I Care Days never end I know the voyage's end will soon be here No eternal life is here for me And now I found the key To the eternal dream
Got love, if that's what you need I got three or four babies sittin' on my knee I got love waitin' for you I come sneakin' round the corner of the avenue
You gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, or I will get you You know you gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, before I get you
There's one thing that's on my mind And that's getting hold of you before I serve my time I'll keep on, with my heavy load Till I see you come a strollin' down that open road
You gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, or I will get you You know you gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, before I get you
I love you Ma-Ma-Ma Belle That's why I want to get it all well I'm sure you can tell I got, good soul, runnin' so deep Gonna get you in the corner so that I can keep Can't you hear me once Ma-Ma-Ma Belle
You gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, or I will get you You know you gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, before I get you
Painted lady, stop that closin' in on me Painted lady, you're supposed to be a dream Painted lady, you better stay away from me Painted lady, why you loosinin' my tie Painted lady, what's that twinkle in your eye Painted lady, you better stay away from me Painted lady, with your jewels and your beads Painted lady, don't you do these dirty deeds Painted lady, you better stay here with me Nobody's child 'til I saw the light of your smile Painted lady, nobody's child You have set me free Nobody's child, you came in and stayed for a while Painted lady, nobody's child You have set me free
Daylight comes to those who live But those who die, they never see the sun come Shining through their window pane They pass away Silly girl to be a fool You didn't play the golden rule 'Cause once you're through with one world There's another waiting there Help me, such a lonely soul In dreams To leave behind the world Mr. Kingdom, help me please To find the rainbow's end Looking from this empty room The corridors of endless gloom Go crawling through the night To meet the dawn that's on its way Oh, to sleep, per-chance to dream To live again those joyous scenes The laughter and the follies That are locked inside my head I can dream of flying high Above the city's cares and never be afraid of anyone 'Cause there ain't no one there
Me I'm just a poor boy, from across the far southland, And I've traveled many days to reach this place to mke my stand, I fell in with a merry band, and drank away the hours.
CHORUS Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on, And my head is high, from the battle won, Laid down my life for the Greenwood
The city boys, and the country boys, they come from miles around, To defy their king and country, save the poor folks from the hand, Of the thieving dukes and abbotts, and the gentry of the land.
CHORUS Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on, And my head is high, from the battle won, Laid down my life for the Greenwood
Sweet Maid marion, don't you do me no wrong, Stay on the right side, the Greenwood is your home, The dancing girls and the open fires, the wine that flows like water.
CHORUS Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on, And my head is high, from the battle won, Laid down my life for the Greenwood
Summer days, where did you go, You've let me down so bad, Clouds fill the sky, Gone is the dream My happy hunting ground Wild buffalo played and I never saw a rainy day. But it looks like summer days ain't coming back. March April May, June and July, You took me for a fall. Big chief he lie. Cold wind blows cool, so cold to make you die. Mountain breeze, ocean bay and I never saw a rainy day. But it looks like them summer days ain't coming back. Laredo Tornado, Adios amigos. What can you do, when your dream world is gone. And your friends and lovers too. West Winter Street under the ground, The air that makes you choke, Towers of concrete, hellish go-round, Were there when I awoke. City sky, pouring down with rain That can never hope to ease the pain. And it looks like summer days ain't coming back. x 2
Hey Boy Blue, can't you hear all the noise. It's for you, all the town's waiting there. Let us go, there's a show like you ain't seen before. Welcome home, where you been all these years. Look around, all the crowd is in tears. It's so good to see you in
Midnight, on the water, I saw, the ocean's daughter, Walking on a wave's chicane, Staring as she called my name. And I can't get it out of my head, No I can't get it out of my head. Now my old world is gone for dead, 'Cos I can't get it out of my
The dreamer, the unwoken fool, In dreams, no pain will kiss the brow. The love of ages fills the head. The days that linger there in prey of emptiness, of burned out dreams. The minutes calling through the years. The universal dreamer rises up above his earthly burden. Journey to the dead of night. High on a hill in Eldorado
