Little Darlin' of my life
You keep movin' cross my mind
You gave me a sunny day
Now it looks as if I'll pay

Why do they say Bluebird is dead?
I can still see her, touch her, my Bluebird
The love that she gave, I don't believe, No, No, I don't believe

Bluebird came to me tonight
Waiting patiently for light
She said I know that you will grieve
But my darlin' I must leave

Why do they say Bluebird is dead?
I can still see her, touch her, my Bluebird
The love that she gave, I don't believe, No, No, I don't believe

Bluebird say it is not so
Please I cannot hear you speak
It must be that you're so tired
In the darkness of the night

Why do they say Bluebird is dead?
I can still see her, touch her, my Bluebird
The love that she gave, I don't believe, No, No, I don't believe

Little darlin' of my life
You keep movin' 'cross my mind
You gave me a sunny day
Now it looks as if I'll pay.

Why do they say - Bluebird is dead?
I can still see her, touch her, my Bluebird
The love that she gave, I don't believe,
No, no, I don't believe

Bluebird came to me tonight
Waiting patiently for light
She said, "I know that you will grieve
But my darlin', I must leave."

Why do they say - Bluebird is dead?
I can still see her, touch her, my Bluebird
The love that she gave, I don't believe,
No, no, I don't believe

Bluebird say it is not so
Please I cannot hear you speak
It must be that you're so tired
In the darkness of the night.

Why do they say - Bluebird is dead?
I can still see her, touch her, my Bluebird
The love that she gave, I don't believe,
No, no, I don't believe

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

In the city where the lights are pretty
And the girls dance in the night...

In the city, there's a dark, dark house
Where no one dares to go...

Oh, oh...

Saviour of the night came
Slowly on the silent river
And the lord of life came following,
His sins to be forgiven
While the world sat back
And laughed away the hours
Till the dawning of the daybreak.

I heard them laugh, I heard them cry
I saw them praying to the sky
I heard the wind howl in the trees
Down there on bended knee
And I see the light
But I know I must be dreaming.

Feel the soul, quiet emotion
Sail on by, helpless devotion
If that's how it feels,
It better be real.

Take care of your woman
Or you'll never ever see the light
Take heed of the warnin'
Or you know, it's gonna be too late
Too late
It's too late, it's too late,
It's too late, it's too late.

Here, there, everywhere
They keep on movin' without fear
They look me up, they look me down
They press my body to the ground
But I see the light,
See the light, it's comin' shinin'.

And on a summers day
When thoughts are drifting far away
And life is good and real to see
My world is saved and I am free
But in the night
Still I know I must be dreaming.

Feel the soul, quiet emotion
Sail on by, helpless devotion
If that's how it feels,
It better be real.

Take care of your woman
Or you'll never ever see the light
Take heed of the warnin'
Or you know, it's gonna be too late
Too late, ah, oh
It's too late, it's too late,
It's too late, it's too late,
It's too late, it's too late, it's too late.

Saviour of the night came slowly on the silent river
And the lord of life came following, his sins to be forgiven
While the world sat back and laughed away the hours
Till the dawning of the daybreak

I heard them laugh I heard them cry
I saw them praying to the sky
I heard the wind howl in the trees
Down there on bended knee
And I see the light
But I know I must be dreaming

Feel the soul, quiet emotion
Sail on by, helpless devotion
If that's how it feels, it better be real

Take care of your woman
Or you'll never ever see the light
Take heed of the warnin'
Or you know it's gonna be too late

Here, There, Everywhere
They keep on movin' without fear
They look me up, they look me down
They press my body to the ground
But I see the light, see the light it's comin' shinin'

And on a Summers day
When thoughts are drifting far away
And life is good and real to see
My world is saved and I am free
But in the night
Still I know I must be dreaming

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

The dreamer, the unworken fool,
High on a hill in Eldorado.

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

I see that look of old
Good tidings they are comin'
Wake up that pretty face
And tell me all that you know
Just see the difference now
You're back in front of the show
Such a big deal
How does it feel?

The world is watchin' you
Your troubles now are over
Just see the people stare
They love you, don't you know?

You drive a Thunderbird
To every single show
If you gotta go,
Go now.

And when you cry,
All the world will cry
If you should laugh
Well, they'll all fall down.

You'd better make it soon
Oh, your sins have been forgivin'
When you start fallin'
There is no one there to hold.

You trade your life in for a bag of shiny gold
With something to hold
Something to hold.

And when you cry,
All the world will cry
If you should laugh
Well, they'll all fall down.

Nothing is better than
Going home without a reason
I look into the sky
And see the reason for life
Everyone's born to die.

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

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

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

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

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

Can you feel it, like the first of Spring
The bells are ringing out a little tune for you

Daylight, everyone hears the sound
Hey, Goodmornin', how you doin', well I'm doin' fine
It's nearly nine I must be gone

I see no sorrow now
Nobody has a care

Hey there, why don't you join me I'll be glad to know you
Take some time out, would you like to work or play
Or wander slowly through this bright new day
Everyone laughs, can't believe what's goin' on round here
New World Risin', everybody kicked their blues away
Not for today but evermore

I see no sorrow now
Nobody has a care

New Day, smiling down on the world
Can you feel it, like the first of Spring
The bells are ringing out a little tune for 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

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?

Susan spent the weekend at her stately home
Crying at the lions on the garden wall
And then she'd sigh sneak away
Look at her style free the day

Oh no not me I wouldn't
Oh no not me I couldn't
That's all she says, her money and her place
They just don't mean a fucking thing

Susan met the Lords and Dukes of everywhere
Smiling kissing wishing that they'd go to hell
And then she'd laugh wonder why
Take a nap sit and cry

Oh no not me I wouldn't
Oh no not me I couldn't
That's all she says, her money and her place
They just don't mean a fucking thing

Susan spent the weekend at her stately home
Crying at the lions on the garden wall
And then she'd sigh sneak away
Look at her style free the day

Oh no not me I wouldn't
Oh no not me I couldn't
That's all she says, her money and her place
They just don't mean a fucking thing

Susan met the Lords and Dukes of everywhere
Smiling kissing wishing that they'd go to hell
And then she'd laugh wonder why
Take a nap sit and cry

Oh no not me I wouldn't
Oh no not me I couldn't
That's all she says, her money and her place
They just don't mean a fucking thing

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

She cried to the southern wind
About a love that was sure to end
Every dream in her heart was gone
Headin' for a Showdown

Bad dreamer, what's your name
Looks like we're ridin' on the same train
Looks as through there'll be more pain
There's gonna be a Showdown

And it's rainin' all over the world
It's raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night

She came to me like a friend
She blew in on a southern wind
Now my heart is turned to stone again
There's gonna be a Showdown

Save me, oh save me
It's unreal, the suffering
There's gonna be a Showdown

And it's rainin' all over the world
It's raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night

She cried to the southern wind
About a love that was sure to end
Every dream in her heart was gone
Headin' for a showdown.

Bad dreamer, what's your name?
Looks like we're ridin' on the same train
Looks as though there'll be more pain
There's gonna be a showdown.

And it's rainin' all over the world
It's raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night.

She came to me like my friend
She blew in on a southern wind
Now my heart is turned to stone again
There's gonna be a showdown.

Save me, oh, save me
It's unreal the suffering
There's gonna be a showdown.

And it's rainin' all over the world
Raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night.

Raining all over the world
Raining all over the world
The longest night.

And it's rainin' all over the world
Raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night.

You gotta save me, girl
When I'm ready for save
Oh, I'm fool for you
You know that real that
Go on and save me.

Can you feel what you're doin'
To me now?
I'm on the run again
You gotta save your soul...
