GALVESTON

Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea winds blowing
I still see her dark eyes glowing
She was twenty-one
When I left Galveston

Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannon flashing
And I clean my gun
And I dream of Galveston

I still see her standing by the water
Standing there, looking out to sea
And is she waiting there for me?
On the beach where we used to run

Galveston, oh Galveston
I am so afraid of dying
Before I dry the tears she's crying
Before I see your sea birds flying
In the sun, at Galveston

I was a highwayman
Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his life blood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of '25
But I am still alive

I was a sailor
I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide
I sailed a schooner 'round the horn to Mexico
I went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still

I was a dam builder
Across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around..
I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around, and around..

I'll fly a starship
Across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again
and again, and again, and again, and again...

He is a lineman for the county
And he drives the main road
Searchin' in the sun
For another overload
I hear you singin' in the wires
I can hear you through the whine
And the wichita lineman
Is still on the line

I know I need a small vacation
But it don't look like rain
And if it snows that stretch down south
Will never stand the strain
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the wichita lineman
Is still on the line

And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the wichita lineman
Is still on the line
Still on the line...

By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be risin'.
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door.
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin',
'cause I've left that girl so many time before.

By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be workin'.
She'll prob'ly stop at lunch and give me a call.
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin',
Off the wall, that's all.

By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin',
She'll turn softly and call my name out low.
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her,
'tho' time and time I've tried to tell her so.
She just didn't know I would really go.

Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground around your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing checkers by the trees

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

[break]

There will be another song for me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sun
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one

I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wondering why

[break]

Oh, no
No, no
Oh no!!

MET HER ON A PLANE

I met her on a plane
I had forgotten I was made of glass
I watched the cars and crows and cities pass
You know, I watched the sun till I was blind
I tried to drive her from my mind
But I kept seeing her and I
Disappearing in the scenery
I was humming, humming inside
Mmm mmm humming, I was humming inside

She told me of her pain
She did not know that I was hearing her
She did not know that I was nearing her
You know the sun it did remain
And from the glaciers to the plain
Her eyes burned bluer than the skies
That still exist over Nevada
I was humming, humming inside
Mmm mmm humming, humming inside

There's a decade in an hour
Your whole life's in a single day
And you're reaching for the moments
As the seconds slip away

And I see you at a party
But I'm closer to the stars
And I'm closer to the teacups
Where the universes are

Where the universes are
Where the universes are
And I stumble to my car
Sweet Lord, I'm off to find another bar
I'm off to find another bar

And I'll miss you in the island
And I'll miss you at the fair
And I'll miss a lot of places
'Cause my love, you won't be there

And I don't know where I'm goin'
But I know I'm goin' far
If I see you out there someday, baby
Where the universes are

Where the universes are
Where the universes are
And I stumble to my car
Sweet Lord, I'm off to find another bar
I'm off to find another bar

See her how she flies
Golden sails across the sky
Close enough to touch
But careful if you try
Though she looks as warm as gold
The moon's a harsh mistress
The moon can be so cold

Once the sun did shine
Lord, it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose
Through the mountains and the pines
And then the darkness fell
And the moon's a harsh mistress
It's so hard to love her well

I fell out of her eyes
I fell out of her heart
I fell down on my face
Yes, I did, and I -- I tripped and I missed my star
God, I fell and I fell alone, I fell alone
And the moon's a harsh mistress
And the sky is made of stone

The moon's a harsh mistress
She's hard to call your own.

I've got to try just one more time
To help you believe in me
Look into my eyes, check my face for lies
And you might see

My life's never been everything I want it to be
But with you I could change this bad luck
With you I could hold my head up
And darling, darling

Just this one time
I need someone to believe in me
To breathe it with me, get beneath it with me
Now sweet mama, just this one time

I've got to say the perfect thing
I can't make mistakes now, I've got to read your signs
I've gotta write those magic lines
You've got to hear

And I know I've given you every reason
In this whole round world to fear me now
But my love's a raging river
And you trapped it in your hands, sweet darlin'

Just this one time
I need someone to believe in me
Believe in me, yeah, yeah, yeah

Just this one time I need someone
To leave it with me, to breathe it with me
Get beneath it with me
Now sweet mama, just this one time

Just this one time
I really need somebody
Just this one time
I really need someone

Just this one time
I need someone to believe
Believe in me, yeah, yeah, yeah

Just this one time
I really need somebody
Just this one time
I really need someone

Just this one time
I need someone to believe
Believe in me, yeah, yeah, yeah

Just this one time
I really need somebody
Just this one time
I really need someone

Just this one time
I need someone

GALVESTON

Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea winds blowing
I still see her dark eyes glowing
She was twenty-one
When I left Galveston

Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannon flashing
And I clean my gun
And I dream of Galveston

I still see her standing by the water
Standing there, looking out to sea
And is she waiting there for me?
On the beach where we used to run

Galveston, oh Galveston
I am so afraid of dying
Before I dry the tears she's crying
Before I see your sea birds flying
In the sun, at Galveston

Love hurts, love scars
Love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough
Or strong enough
To take a lot of pain
Take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
It holds a lot of rain
And love hurts

I'm young, I know
But even so
I know a thing or two
I've learned from you
I've really learned a lot
I really learned a lot
Love is like a stove
It burns you when it's hot
And love hurts

Some fools rave of happiness, blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves, I guess
But they're not fooling me
I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie, it's made to make you blue
And love hurts
Early in the morning, you'll find love hurts

Love hurts
Love burns
Love fears and wonders
Love weeps
Love lies
But never speaks
Love fades
Love wanes
It changes
Deceives us
Love hurts
....

It's the ending of my day,
No one left to say goodbye to
Except you: Piano
You're not listenin' anyway
You're not even try to,
But here's one for you, Piano:

Seems like it always comes down to me,
Spinnin' my piano stool
While you just sit there, grinnin' like a fool

One last song I gotta play,
Don't want to keep you up all night though,
I make it mezzo piano

Kinda tired in my own way
Tryin' to keep my self upright though:
Just like you, Piano
Just keep smilin' and I'll play this tune for you
Just keep smiling and we'll pull each other through

Softly,
We'll play our folding music and we'll fade:
Fade away...

By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be risin'.
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door.
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin',
