"The River Cried"

I took a walk today

Through these grey dirty streets
Thinkin of you, missing you
And hoping that we'd meet
I didn't tell my legs where to go
I just walked up to the dock
Sat on the edge, fighting a shiver
Telling everything I hurt inside

And the river cried, 'cause I lost your love

The river cried, aaahhhh
The river cried, for my lonely soul, the river cried
You were the only one that really knew me
You were the only one in whom I confide
And hearing this the river cried

I say myself today

through these grey dirty streets
Did you have to leave this town
Or did you just have to leave me
All these questions in my mind
I didn't see the signs
The river keeps flowin'
I can't keep goin'
Waiting for you too return, my pride

And the river cried, 'cause I lost your love

 The river cried, aaahhhh
The river cried, for my lonely soul, the river cried
You were the only one that really knew me
You were the only one in whom I confide
And hearing this the river cried

"Something To Believe In"

Little brother's got a habit

That he thinks he's getting under control
And he's selling all our love and best wishes as the hunger grows
Living by the scripture on the subway wall
He wants to be a rebel but he can't find a cause.

He needs something to believe in

He needs something to believe in
All he ever wanted was to get away

Little sister's getting serious with a fella nearly twice her age
And she's aiming to move in with him
As soon as they can find a place
But there's no getting through to her, there's no other way,
You can't learn from mistakes that somebody else made.

She needs something to believe in

She needs something to believe in
All she ever wanted was to get away

Caught in the void of no hope and no choice

it's a nobody wins situation
What can they do? - it's a catch-22
It's a breakdown in communication

Little wonder they're confused, no wonder we misunderstand

Little wonder there's a wind of change blowing through the land,
Nobody's guilty...it's a sign of the times
But we won't see the future till we open our eyes

We need something to believe in

We need something to believe in
Something to believe in
 We need something to believe in
Something to believe in
We need something to believe in
All he ever wanted was to get away

"As I Came Of Age"

Sorting through my things

See what I can find
Picking through the past
See what's left behind

Multi-colored sweaters
That moths have eaten holes
A paire of breaded mocassins with worn out soles

Boots were made for walking

Winds were blowing change
Boys fall in the jungle
As I Came of Age

Black and white TV

With a broken 12-inch screen
Dylan's Highway 61
And Jackie's love machine

I reread your letters and again

I cry great tears
Light comes to the surface
Even after all these years

"Take My Life"

There's a river that's swollen with rain

You wouldn't guess that I've known so much pain
I have a heart, swollen with pride
You wouldn't guess what I hold inside
Oh, it feels so good to have you around
I feel the walls come tumblin' down
I'm ready to change, ready to feel
 To be revealed

Take my life in your hands

Take my love, be my man
I'm tired of all the lonely nights
I need someone to hold me in the candlelight
Take my life, I wanna live
I have so much more I want to give
I need a love that cuts like a knife take My Life

There's a river that's runnin' wild

Could I take you back when I was a child
I want to see just who I am
To be revealed

Take my life in your hands

Take my love, be my man
I'm tired of all the lonely nights
I need someone to hold me in the candlelight
Take my life, I wanna live
I have so much more I want to give
I need a love that cuts like a knife take My Life

Take My hand and lead me

With your love you can free me
Oh, take the chains, away from my heart, take my life

"Some Girls"

Some girls get carried away

Others save it for a rainy day
But we'll beg, borrow, or steal
We'll paint the town if we don't drown in sex appeal

Hair like honey (some girls)

Have lips like wine (some girls)
Make lots of money (some girls)
Some are legends in their own time
Some are legends in their own time

Some girls make front page news

 Some girls really pay their dues
We'll turn your head round and round
Get on your knees- say "baby please"
But you can't keep us down

Some girls are mothers and wives

And they don't have to apologize
We don't beg, borrow, or steal
We'll paint the town if we don't drown in sex appeal

"Brown Eyes"

I had a dream last night

We never said good-bye
You were here with me again
Brown Eyes

It felt just like old times

When you were by my side
I could see your love shine through
Brown Eyes

Tenderly you were kissing me

As I held you so tight
And you promised me forever
As we loved away the night

You may be a dream

A dream that's passed me by
But I'll always dream of you
Brown Eyes

"Love Changes Everything"

Love, love changes everything: hands and faces, earth and sky.
Love, love changes everything: how you live and how you die.
Love can make the summer fly, or a night seem like a lifetime.
Yes, love, love changes everything, now I tremble at your name.
Nothing in the world will ever be the same.
 Love, love changes everything: days are longer, words mean more.
Love, love changes everything: pain is deeper than before.
Love will turn your world around, and that world will last forever.
Yes, love, love changes everything, brings you glory, brings you shame.
Nothing in the world will ever be the same.

Off into the world we go, planning futures, shaping years.

Love bursts in and suddenly all our wisdom disappears.
Love makes fools of everyone: all the rules we make are broken.
Yes, love, love changes everything: live or perish, in its flame.
Love will never ever let you be the same.
Love will never ever let you be the same!

"Good Morning Starshine"

Good morning starshine, the earth says hello

You twinkle above us
We twinkle below

Good morning starshine, you lead us along

My love and me as we sing
Our early morning singing song

Giddy glup gloopy nibby nabby noopy la la la lo lo

Sabba sibby sabba nooby abba nabba le le le lo
Tooby ooby walla nooby abba nabba
Early morning singing song

Good morning starshine

There's love in your skies
Reflecting the sunlight
In my lover's eyes

Good morning starshine

My love and me as we sing
Our early morning singing song

Giddy glup gloopy nibby nabby noopy la la la lo lo

Sabba sibby sabba nooby abba nabba le le lo lo
Tooby ooby walla nooby abba nabba
 Early morning singing song

Can you hear me

Singing a song, humming a song, singing a song
Loving a song, laughing a song, singing the song
Sing the song, song the sing
Song song song sing sing sing sing song

"Alone Again Or"

Yeah I said, it's all right

I won't forget
All the times I waited patiently for you
I think you'll do (just what) you choose to do
And I will be alone again tonight my dear

Yeah, I heard a funny thing

Somebody said to me
You know that I could be in love with almost everyone
I think that people are the greatest fun
And I will be alone again tonight, my dear

Yeah, I heard a funny thing

Somebody said to me
You know that I could be in love with almost everyone
I think that people are the greatest fun
And I will be alone again tonight, my dear

"Yesterday"

Yesterday there was a change somewhere on your face

'Cause yesterday you went looking for
Another warm thing to take his place
Now I'm not trying to tell you that
You have no choices to be weighed
But you've got to believe in faith-healing
'Cause everyone's afraid

Yesterday you stopped crying

 Yesterday your old friend just walked on by
The friend that used to wake you up and
Make you think the world was going to end
Your old friend

I'm sure you know

The old love is ugly now
But no one wants to turn away
From something they think is still allowed
It's clear that what you're thinking is
How many perfect loves are made
But you've got to believe in faith-healing
'Cause eveyone's afraid

Yesterday you stopped crying

Yesterday your old friend just walked on by
The friend that used to wake you up and
Make you think the world was going to end
Your old friend

Yesterday you stopped, stopped crying

Yesterday your old friend walked on by

"Bowling Green"

Way down in Bowlin' Green

Prettiest girls I've ever seen
A man in Kentucky sure is lucky
To love down in Bowlin' Green

Bowlin' Green folks treat you kind

They let you think your own mind
A man in Kentucky sure is lucky
In Bowlin' Green you walk your own line

Kentucky sunshine makes the heart unfold

It warms the body and I know it touches the soul
Blue grass is fine. Kentucky owns my mind

The fields down in Bowlin' Green

Have the softest grass I've ever seen
A man in Kentucky sure is lucky
 To lie down in Bowlin' Green

Bowlin' Green girls treat you right

They wear dresses cut country tight
A man in Kentucky sure is lucky
If he's seen the Bowlin' Green light

"It Must Be Tough ... To Be That Cool"

Stuck inside this room, digging in my heels

The paint is stuck on the walls, but it's starting to peel
But maybe it's your vanity, maybe it's your skin
Well, I'm thinking, I'm thinking, your cover's wearing thin

Cause everybody wants a piece of you, you don't give much, but when
you
do, you're nobody's friend, you're nobody's fool, tell me It must be
tough to be that cool ...

Another notch on your belt another new pair of shoes

Another sidewalk show, where did you get that suit?
Did you think I was waiting or were you just testing me?
You're gonna come up empty, come out angry
Come out alone, now you can't see it

Well I should be more forgiving there's a soul down there

I can hear it crying but I can't find it anywhere

'Cause everybody wants a piece of you, you don't give much

But when you do, you're nobody's friend, you're nobody's fool
Tell me,

It must be tough to be that cool

It must be tough to be that cool
It must be tough to be that cool
It must be tough to be that cool ......
