Well, I came to the city
I was running from the past
My heart was bleeding
And it hurt my bones to laugh
Stayed in the city
No exception to the rules, to the rule
He was born to love me
I was raised to be his fool, oh his fool
Walk that line
Torn apart
Gotta spend your whole life trying
Ride that train
And free your heart
Its midnight up in Harlem
I went down to the river
And I took a look around
There were old mans shoes
There were needles on the ground
No more mysteries, baby
No more secrets, no more clues
The stars are out there
You can almost see the moon
The streets are windy
And the subways closing down
Gonna carry this dream
To the other side of town
Walk that line
Torn apart
Gotta spend your whole life trying
Ride that train
And free your heart
Its midnight up in Harlem |
Running from a bitter taste
Took a rest from all the chase
Feeling something anchored on my soul
Played the game by all the rules
Learning lessons no one gets to choose
Everywhere I turn, here I am
So walk away with me, walk away
Ill show you that
I would go anywhere, anytime
I would do anything, anyway
Anyhow
Woke up feeling all adrift
Pieced together what I missed
Realized that you pushed me out to sea
Followed from a lost place
Dealing with the wreckage in my soul
Everywhere I turn, there you are, you are
So walk away with me, walk away
Ill show you that
I would go anywhere, anytime
I would do anything, anyway
Anyhow, oh anyhow
No one cares to loan a dime
Sorry if it cost you time
Whatd you expect a desperate man to do?
Cain and Abel lit the flame
We can never go that way again
Everywhere I turn, here we are, we are
So walk away with me, walk away
Ill show you that
I would go anywhere, anytime
I would do anything, anyway
I would go anywhere, anytime
I would do anything, anyway
Anyhow
Oh I would go
Oh anywhere
I would do
Almost anything
Anyway
I would do
Most anything
Oh, anyway
Anyhow
Anytime
Anytime
Anytime
Anytime
Anytime
Anytime |
When the sun comes shining through
Lighting up what’s left of you
And you put it all aside for another day
Pick it up and rearrange it
Though you know that you won’t change it
Cause you’ve always been a stranger anyway
Now you left your window open
Just to keep your spirit rolling
But you’re hoping that your mind will close the door
Take it up two steps higher
When you’re drowning in the fire
The hope you had helped you on along the way
If the story feels exactly like a dream
Don’t know what it means
Things ain’t what they seem
And you can’t just turn the page and let it go
Things that you’ve been told
Are deep down in your soul
Now don’t make your move too early
Or you’ll show up in a hurry
You can fall down and surely lose your way
Heaven help you if you mean it
Cause theres those that would defeat it
They can turn you around and take it all away
Now dont look down in the dirt
Just to find out what you’re worth
Cause that song and dance was never worth the time
So work hard and do it right
Learn to speak up and to fight
The truth is gonna beat them down the line
If the story feels exactly like a dream
Don’t know what it means
Things ain’t what they seem
And you can’t just turn the page and let it go
Things that you’ve been told
Are deep down in your soul
If the story feels exactly like a dream
Don’t know what it means
Things ain’t what they seem
And you can’t just turn the page and let it go
Things that you’ve been told
Are deep down in your soul
If the story feels exactly like a dream
Don’t know what it means
Things ain’t what they seem
And you can’t just turn the page and let it go
Things that you’ve been told
Are deep down in your soul
If the story feels exactly like a dream
Don’t know what it means
Things ain’t what they seem
And you can’t just turn the page and let it go
Things that you’ve been told
Are deep down in your soul
If the story feels exactly like a dream
Don’t know what it means
Things ain’t what they seem
And you can’t just turn the page and let it go
Things that you’ve been told
Are deep down in your soul
If the story feels exactly like a dream
Don’t know what it means
Things ain’t what they seem
And you can’t just turn the page and let it go
Things that you’ve been told
Are deep down in your soul
If the story feels exactly like a dream
Don’t know what it means
Things ain’t what they seem
And you can’t just turn the page and let it go
Things that you’ve been told
Are deep down in your soul |
Tired of living without
When others have so much
If I could find someone
To bring that loving touch
All this times been wasted
No more words to spare
And if I knew how to love
I would take you there
I wont let go
And I wont give up
Im gonna learn how to love you
Im gonna show you somehow
If my time is over
Can I learn how to give?
Can I throw down this chain
And find a new way to live?
Though it wont be easy
All I need is a friend
And with you here by my side
Im ready to start again
I wont let go
And I wont give up
Im gonna learn how to love you
Im gonna show you somehow
I wont let go
And I wont give up
Im gonna learn how to love you
Im gonna show you somehow
I will know you
When I see you in my dreams
So take my hand and follow me
To ecstasy
Im gonna learn how to love you
Im gonna show you somehow
Gonna love you
Tell me how
Gonna love you
Gonna love you now
Love you
Gonna love you
Gonna love you
Gonna show you how |
Tell your story
Roll the truth around your head
Bound for glory
I aint getting out of this bed
The sun comes struggling on
Yesterdays dead and gone
Tell your story
Put the night back in your veins
Bound for glory
I aint coming to again
The sun comes struggling on
Yesterdays dead and gone
And I feel Im bound for glory
Dreaming in a cowboy song
I feel Im bound for glory
Can you feel it?
Bound for glory!
Can you feel it?
Glory bound! |
I wasnt sure
If you coming back to me
All of your loving
The pleasure of our sweet melody
These are the days
The days of reflecting
On the times that we had
Im gonna wait
All alone
Until the day when you come home
Dont you know I never left you darling
Now I found that you were
Alway a part of me
Search the world and Ill finally followed
The one and only kind of love
That sets me free
I was on the wrong path
When I realized I looked back
And I knew what I saw
I saw you play a song for me
You brought me to tears
You brought me deeper
Dropped me to my knees
It was a love
Love so real
It was something that Id never feel
Dont you know I never left you darling
Now I found that you always
Were a part of me
Search the world and Ill finally followed
The one and only kind of love
That sets me free
Together weve grown
And we left the storm behind
You gave me shelter
And it held the test of time
I dont wanna wait
I dont wanna let you
Pass me by
Im done running
Dont you know I never left you darling
Now I found that you always
Were a part of me
Search the world and Ill finally followed
The one and only kind of love
That sets me free

I was laughing, playing in the streets
I was unknowing, I fleeted from my faith
Lately, dreamer that will never really show it
I got to look, look away
I was a young girl, when I shook your stage
You walked right into my life, doorway, love story
Gotta keep on growing, keep on growing
Keep on growing, yeh, yeh, yeah
I was standing, steering in the face of my new lover
Feeling is so strange
Growing, treated love that she could understand
But the
She took me by the hand, told me that I was lost
She said she gonna keep on, alright boy
Oh, just in love
Keep on growing, keep on growing
Keep on growing, yeh, yeh, yeah
Baby
Baby, something that we knew
She left you when its huge
Had me walk in, together hand in-hand
We go on forever, yes you knew
Now times has going to changes, Lord and know its you
And our lover is going to keep on, growing, growing, growing
Not, not overdue, oh
Gotta keep on growing, keep on growing
Keep on growing, yeh, yeh, yeah
Gotta keep on growing, keep on growing
Keep on growing, yeh, yeh, yeah |
Shame, oh, theres poison in the well
Shame , you know we can’t unring the bell
Though I tried
Oh, to let it all fall away
Oh, but sometimes I, I hear exactly what you say
Makes me wonder, why youre broken
Lord, you have to wonder
Oh, where are we going?
Someday, oh you know it cant be long
Someday, when your train has come and gone
Just remember all that shit you used to say
You got to pick yourself up, you got to get right back out
You got to do it all over again.
Now I’ve tried
Oh, to let it all fall away
Oh, but somehow, Id love to see him in pain
Makes me wonder, why were broken
Lord, youve got to wonder
Whats in the air
Shame, oh, the hurt they put on me and you
Shame, shame, shame, you know theyre murdering the truth
Now Ive tried
Oh, to let it all fall away
Oh, but somehow, I have nothing left to say
And I wonder, why were broken
Oh, don’t you wonder
Oh, where the hell we’re going?
Oh, dont you wonder what’s in the air?
Dont you wonder? Dont you even care?
Shame
Shame on you
Shame on me for letting you
Shame us all
Oh, shame on him
Oh, oh, shame
Oh, so much shame
Oh, too much shame
Oh, shame |
I told you that times are a-changin’
Ive got a body to move
If you’re just willing to stand there
With nothing to say or to prove
Even a king gives sometimes
Even if he don’t care
Forget what we said last December
Cuz It’s been a hell of a year
Well leave all the words with the summer
Remember what brought us up here
Somewhere the sky is crying
I’m where the air is clear
Let me get by
Let me get by
Let me get by
Cause time won’t wait
The message that came in a bottle
Said you sure got a problem with me
So we made you a bed out of roses
But you were the Prince of the Pea
Even a king gives sometimes
Even if he don’t care
Let me get by
Let me get by
Let me get by
‘Cause time won’t wait
Let me get by
Let me get by
Let me get by
‘Cause time won’t wait
Let me get by
Let me get by
Let me get by
‘Cause time won’t wait
Let me get by
Let me get by
Let me get by
‘Cause time won’t wait |
Dont worry bout your lover, baby
Cause Im gonna be just fine
Its all about you now
And were running out of time
Now if you let me I wanna show you
Im with you and you can let go
Dont let the anger build too long
We dont need it, it keeps us from growing, ohh

Through the thunder and the rain
And Im gonna be right there
Through the tears and all the rage
And Im gonna be there
Any time you call my name
Ill be around
Oh, Ill be around
Whos gonna be there for you
When the stars fall from the sky?
Whos gonna be right there
To wipe the sadness from your eyes?
The sun is breaking out and clearing out our way
I know, it gets better
So many hours wasting away but were gonna get through
The air is tasting sweeter
So Im gonna be there
Through the thunder and the rain
And Im gonna be right there
Through the tears and all the rage
And Im gonna be there
Any time you call my name
Youre the one that frees my soul
And every day I learn from you
Im gonna keep on running towards your light
Im gonna breathe you in every day of my life
Im gonna be there
Through the thunder and the rain
Im gonna be right there
Through the tears and all the rage
Im gonna be there
Any time you call my name
Were gonna get through
And I know it gets better

You got a lot to learn
I got a lot to lose
Guess I hold a candle
For singers of the blues
Youre a hard case to refuse
Call down any witness
Lord, I stand accused
But Ill be back in business
If they cut me loose
Youre a hard case to refuse
Youre a hard
Youre such a hard
Youre a hard case to choose
Living a lie and loving you
Youre a hard case to refuse
Oh, such a hard case to refuse
You got a lot to learn
I got a lot to lose
Guess I hold a candle
For singers of the blues
Youre a hard case to refuse
Lord, I got it in me
What it comes down to
Climb that concertina
And come back when youre bruised
Youre a hard case to refuse
Youre a hard
Youre such a hard
Youre a hard case to refuse
Youre a hard case to choose
Living a lie and loving you
Youre a hard case to refuse
A hard case to refuse
Hard case to refuse
Hard living the blues
Hard case to refuse
Hard case to refuse |
You can laugh about it
Something’s in the air
You can cry about it
No one really cares
No, nobody sees it
You can sing about it
Sing it in a prayer
You can scream about it
Hands up in the air
No, youre not sposed to feel it
But now, now that we’ve seen it
Rise up, right where they pushed you down
Don’t let nobody ever turn you round
Try, try to believe it
All the caring and hard work and trouble
Is worth the chance
You can talk about it
It was always there
Ain’t no doubt about it
It ain’t always fair
So where do we take it from here?
When life is what we make it
Rise up, right where they pushed you down
Don’t let nobody ever turn you round
Try, try to believe it
All the caring and hard work and trouble
Is worth the chance
Stand up while you still can
Rise up, its worth the chance
Rise up
Keep em up, right where I can see them
Keep your hands up high, right where I can see them
Aint no time for freedom
Oh no, oh no, oh no
You can laugh all about it
If you will
Something’s in the air
You can cry about it
I said no one really cares
Nobody sees it
Sing it in a prayer
You can scream about it
Oh, but keep those hands in the air
Right where I can see them
Hands right in the air
Aint no time for freedom
Keep your hands up, oh yeah
Keep your hands up, oh yeah
Keep your hands, oh right on up
Keep your hands right on up where I can see them
Keep em up, get em up
Dont tire, where I can see em
Come on, one time
Laugh about it, if you will, if you will, if you will
Haha |
Back in the day when I lie
Wed always fight
Now here you are foolin round
Out every night
I dont have to take it anymore
And Im tired of always keepin score
All Im sayin
Do I look worried to you?
Oh, do I look worried?
Smacked in the face, such a disgrace you were wrong
I try it again, stay till the end, but how long?
Weve been here so many times
And I know youve fed me so many lies
All Im sayin
Do I look worried to you?
Oh, do I look worried?
Ohh, worried to you
Ohh, cause I aint worried
Fool me once or twice, you know the sayin - Shame on you!
Now that Im done with the man, heres what Ill do
Ill find my way to an open door
cause its not the same as it was before
All Im sayin
Do I look worried to you?
Oh, do I look worried?
Ohh, worried
Ohh, cause I aint worried
Lord, cause I aint worried
You better, you better be worried
Ohh, Im worried, worried, worried, worried
Yeah I aint gonna take it
Anymore
Ohhh! |
Here I am
I did it to myself
But I still dont know what I’m here for
Floating on my back
Hoping that I end up dry
I got a right
Oh, to put you in my sights
But I dont have the fight to rage on
Something tells me
That maybe youre the one worth saving
Signs, high times
No more fooling around
Signs, high times
Choose a seat and sit down
Signs, high times
Might ain’t right
Signs, high times
Everything aint black and white
Just realized
Theres hatred in their eyes
Cant fool around with darkness for fun
Something tells me
Some people just aint worth saving
Got turned around
Following the sound
Of a heartbeat thats been getting heavy
Weve been here before
We were just getting ready
Signs, high times
No more fooling around
Signs, high times
Choose a seat and sit down
Signs, high times
Oh, might aint right
Signs, high times
Everything ain’t black and white
Better make up your mind
’Cause we got to get it right this time
So much good at stake
Dont give into the lies they make
Oh Lord, how did we get here again?
Signs, high times
No more fooling around
Signs, high times
Choose a seat and sit down
Signs, high times
Ooh, might ain’t right
Signs, high times
Everythings in black and white
People, how long til your hands called?
People, how long ’til your hands called?
People, how long til your hands called?
People, how long til your hands called? |
Three, four
His guitar is laughing and filling the room
Everybodys smiling while he’s singing his blues
You might not understand just what it is hes saying
But its the truth
His face is dancing, his eyes bugging out
Looking in your soul and pulling it right out
You might not understand just what it is you’re hearing
But its a joyful sound
Door opened up and he walked right through
Some folks thought he was just pretending
Telling those stories, just like theyre true
He fell out on stage
With a smile on his face
Never giving away
The ending
Just blowing his smoke, oh, and playing along
He turned into the light of his favorite song
Looked down at his watch and said, Its time to go
And he was gone
Door opened up and he walked right through
Some folks thought he was just pretending
Telling those stories, just like theyre true
Oh, he fell out on stage
With a smile on his face
Never giving away
The ending
His guitar is laughing and filling the room
Everybodys smiling while hes singing his blues
Its hard to understand but I think he understood
Yes, he knew
Yes, he knew, oh, he knew
The ending |
There are papers surrounding me
Keeping me buried beneath a sea
These are the things weighing me down
Not letting me breathe or make a sound
But its not too late to start anew
I need some help, show me what to do
When will I begin?
When will I begin?
When will I begin to be free?
When will I begin?
When will I begin?
When will I begin to be free?
Oh, be free, ohh
Will you walk with me? Will you talk with me?
Will you say all the things I need you to say?
And I, Ill come running
Then well laugh in the rain
And well crash through the waves
And well sing each refrain so sweetly
Know I will lay down and die
Oh Lord, if you lie
All the air in the world would be leaving
Will you hold me close like the holy ghost?
Say the things I need the most
And I, Ill come running
Then well laugh in the rain
And well crash through the waves
And well sing each refrain so sweetly
And well hold on til the end
I know youre always gonna be my friend
All the weight in the world is leaving
So, when will I begin?
When will I begin?
When will I begin to be free?
When will I begin?
When will I begin?
When will I begin to be free?
When will I begin? |
There was a lady on the mountain
Eyes like pools of water in the sun
Hair flow down my shoulders like the river
I could see her chest, move up and down
Started calling out
She was calling out to you
Hear her calling out
Shes been calling out to you
You gotta do right by your woman
As shell do right by you
Walking with a mason jar of fireflies
She cant find the light she need within
You can hear her ego on the mountain side
Awful singing feeling you cant swing
She was calling out
She was calling out to you
You hear her calling now
Calling out to you
You gotta do right by your woman
As shell do right by you
She was calling out
She was calling out to you
You hear her calling now
Calling out to you
You gotta do right by your woman
As shell do right by you
Calling out to you
Calling out to you
Calling out to you
Calling out
Calling out to |
I can’t leave that urge alone
When I lay it down it says, “Come on!”
I raised the devil on my own
Gonna scratch and claw until it’s gone
Just as strange to me
Weighing on my mind
Riding on your trail
Pay it down the line
I’m going to live better, baby
My wave’s gonna break at dawn
I’m going to sweat it out until I make it
And be free from these chains that bound
Just as strange to me
Weighing on my mind
Riding on your trail
Pay it down the line
Just as strange to me
Weighing on my mind
Riding on your trail
Pay it down the line
Just as strange to me
Weighing on my mind
Riding on your trail
Pay it down the line
Just as strange to me
Weighing on my mind
Riding on your trail
Pay it down the line
Just as strange to me
Weighing on my mind
Riding on your trail
Pay it down the line |
A world where dreams come true
Wasnt meant for you
All the lessons learned
The pages that you turned
Livings just a school
For breaking hearts in two
With all the tears you saved
Strengthen what remains
And oh, what a beautiful season
Oh, what a beautiful life
Did you put up a fight?
Youd kill for what was right?
When circumstances change
Strengthen what remains
Baby, Im a fool
Waiting here for you
On the closing of the day
Strengthen what remains
Oh, what a beautiful season
Oh, what a beautiful life
Oh, what a beautiful season
Oh, take a look in the sky
Oh, I can give you a reason
Oh, its a beautiful life |
Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a worm on a hook
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
If I, if I have been unkind
I hope that you can just let it go by
If I, if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you
Like a baby, stillborn
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me
But I swear by this song
And by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
He said to me, You must not ask for so much.
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
She cried to me, Hey, why not ask for more?
Oh like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir have tried in my way to be free |
Apologies for last night
My conscience wouldn’t let me sleep
The words kept following me
A miracle that’s come undone
The complications of the week
What is that you lack?
What is that you seek?
Does a smile come alive
When you share the wine?
And the love that you make
Is it right on time?
Poor old Romeo
Juliet is at his feet
Maybe she’s just asleep
If sorry doesn’t get you home
Or dignity in defeat
What is it that you lack?
What is it that you seek?
Hey, it’s not yours and it’s not mine
Hey, I’m just here to share your time
Don’t you pay those spinning wheels no mind
Hey, it’s not yours and it’s not mine
Hey, I’m just here to share your time
Don’t you pay those spinning wheels no mind
Hey, it’s not yours and it’s not mine
Hey, I’m just here to share your time
Don’t you pay those spinning wheels no mind
Hey, it’s not yours and it’s not mine
Hey, I’m just here to share your time
Don’t you pay those spinning wheels no mind |
I wasnt always around
When we felt so low down
She was your shoulder you cried on
When I weighed you down
Not pure like sugarcane
Sweeter
She was so sweet when you were alone
Sweet and low
Aftertaste like a real sad storm
Sweeter
She was so sweet when you were alone
Sweet and low
When there is nothing left to say
And her siren song fades away
Maybe youll crave a bitter sweet melody
Not pure like sugarcane
Sweeter
She was so sweet when you were alone
Sweet and low
She seems to heal the pain inside you
Oh, inside you
I was so mean when you were alone
Sweet and low
Not pure like sugarcane
Sweeter
She was so sweet when you were alone
Sweet and low
She seems to soothe the pain inside
Oh, inside you
We were so sweet before we were alone
Oh, so alone
Now you were the one that was so long gone
Oh, how was I to know you didnt want me around?
Was I a dreamer? Where you a lover?
Was I fighter? Did you find something finer?
Oh, what did she have? Love that I didnt
Was she sweeter? Or finer lover? |
When I watched you walk away
I knew I’d gone too far
I’m on my knees to plead for mercy
Don’t want to live and hurt alone
And if you feel like I feel
Then come on, baby
You must remember
That we’re one in a million years
And then maybe you will remember
That we were always going to work it out
I just wanna say
I don’t wanna to wait
Until our love is gone
Come on and feel me
I don’t wanna
Live in pain
I don’t wanna
Love in vain
Can you hear me?
Since you saved me from myself
I’m going to live for love
Ride the wind wherever it may take us
And lay it down and grow
If you feel like I feel
Then come on, baby
You must remember
That we’re one in a million years
And then maybe we could do it over
Hold each other til the world just disappears
I just wanna say
I don’t wanna to wait
Until our love is gone
Come on and feel me
I don’t wanna
Live in pain
I don’t wanna
Love in vain
Can you hear me?
If you turn your back on me
I won’t believe you don’t believe
All the days that pass us by
Our flame will carry on
I just wanna say
I don’t wanna to wait
Until our love is gone
Come on and feel me
I don’t wanna
Live in pain
I don’t wanna
Love in vain
Can you hear me?
I just wanna say
I don’t wanna to wait
Until our love is gone
Come on and feel me
I don’t wanna
Live in pain
I don’t wanna
Love in vain
Can you hear me? |
Oh, what have we done?
To this kingdom we proclaim
To be the chosen one
Everything is choosing in each and every domain
Everything is frozen
Burning just the same
Oh, it’s so heavy
Oh, it’s so heavy
Oh, it’s so heavy
I’ve got let it all
Let it all go
Oh I thought we’ve passed all the lies
They will come for us with darker mirrors
And paint our skin with colored eyes
Oh I thought we were last the time
When injustice was a leader
Rand liberty last
Oh, it’s so heavy
Oh, it’s so heavy
Oh, it’s so heavy
I’ve got let it all
Let it all go
Oh, we are marching
We are fighters without a cause
Cause it’s easier to be in the crowd
Then cry alone crying out loud
You gotta feel the pain, you got to see the suffering
Gotta hear the cause
Oh, it’s so heavy
Oh, mama, don’t you know it’s so heavy?
Lord it’s so heavy
I’ve got let it all
Let it all go
Oh, it’s so heavy
Oh, it’s so heavy
Oh, it’s so heavy
I’ve got let it all
Let it all go
Oh, it’s so heavy
Lord it’s so heavy
Oh, it’s so heavy
I’ve got let it all
Let it all go |
Tired of waiting on you
After all weve been through
If you want me still
I know I can do for you
Anything you want me to
So why dont you come see about me?
Come see about me, baby
Come see about me, yeah
Time is wasting away
After all, its been a long day, and
If you want me still
I know I can do for you
Anything you want me to
So why dont you come see about me?
Come see about me, baby
Come see about me, yeah
If you want me still
I know I can do for you
Anything you want me to
So why dont you come see about me?
Come see about me, baby
Come see about me, yeah |
Looking around, I see so many lives
Falling apart
So many people that we know
Seem to be giving up on love
But you and me
Oh, we aint giving up now
No, were gonna rise above
Lets walk through this life together
Show a little staying power
Even in our darkest hour
Theres still you and me
Looking around, I see so many people
Wanting what they dont have
We all have so much in this world
Why cant we just give back?
Lifes too short to be so greedy
I couldnt do it without you
You couldnt do it without me
Lets walk through this life together
Show a little staying power
Even in our darkest hour
Theres still you and me
Looking around, I see so many people
Giving up on love
But you and me, we aint giving up now
Oh were gonna rise above
Lets walk through this life together
Show a little staying power
Even in our darkest hour
Theres still you and me
Yes, you and me, yeah, gonna keep on
Chasing our dreams together
Well keep on chasing them forever
Oh, if the whole thing falls apart
Theres still you and me
Falls apart
Well keep on
Staying power
In your darkest hour
Oh, oh, you and me, yeah, oh, yeah
If it falls apart
Oh, yeah
Show a little staying power
Oh, you and me, yeah
Falls apart
A little staying power
Darkest hour
Oh, a little staying power
Oh, were gonna show staying power |
Some days are gray for us all
Dont wanna live or stay here for long
I say, aint it good to know
That youre not alone?
So many people feel that low
But Ill help you grow
Still your mind and breathe
Close your eyes and see
Fill your hands and drink with me
Be here now
Lay your troubles down
Before the growth the leaves have to fall
And Ill lift you up so you can tear down the wall
Dont let the darkness of the world enter your soul
You know the light of your smile is what makes me whole
Still your mind and breathe
Close your eyes and see
Fill your hands and drink with me
Be here now
Breathe |
Every night I pray
That youll come back today
And hold me like you used to do
Every night I spent
Just waiting on your scent
Needing just a trace of you
Well, I know it aint refined
But Ill hold your place in line
Until you remember that youre mine
Its not my first mistake
Im sleeping wide awake
You know I cant think straight about you
And its nothing that I planned
To let you slip through my hands
Im burning with a love thats turned blue |
So many times I lay here thinking
We may never stand up and rise again
Then I hear the voices singing
Everything must burn before hope can live again
All the world is bleeding
I can feel it
And Ive seen it
But while our hearts are beating
We can heal it
If we mean it
So many places I have gone
But the song remains the same
So if we could please listen to what they say
The walls could crumble and wash away
All the world is bleeding
I can feel it
And Ive seen it
But while our hearts are beating
We can heal it
We mean it
All the world is bleeding
I can feel it
Ive seen it
So while our hearts are beating
We can heal it
When we mean it
All the world is bleeding
I can feel it
Cause Ive seen it
So while our hearts are beating
We can heal it
If we mean it |
Ive got a feeling, a feeling deep inside
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Ive got a feeling, a feeling I cant hide
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Oh, Ive got a feeling
Oh please believe me, Id hate to miss the train
Oh yeah, oh yeah
And if you leave me, I wont be late again
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Yeah, Ive got a feeling
All these years Ive been wandering around
Wondering how come nobody told me
All that I was looking for was somebody
Who looked like you
Ive got a feeling that keeps me on my toes
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Ive got a feeling, I think that everybody knows
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, Ive got a feeling, got a feeling, oh yeah
Everybody had a hard year
Everybody had a good time
Everybody had a wet dream
Everybody saw the sunshine
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Everybody had a good year
Everybody let their hair down
Everybody pulled their socks up
Everybody put their foot down, yeah
Ive got a feeling, a feeling deep inside
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Ive got a feeling, a feeling I cant hide
Oh no, oh no
Ive got a feeling
Ive got a feeling, Ive got a feeling, yes, Ive got a feeling
That everybody knows, that keeps me on my toes |
I know you wish that you could see in my window
Wishing you could pull up the vine
And Im wearing my Romeo flowers
Just being my made of mind
I know you lack of all in my garden
Apple yourself a big bouquet
You can spell them I know
Its just like I told you
Im in a higher place
I got a made up mind
I got a made up mind
And youre thinking about it all the time
Youre all fine
I got a made up mind
Well you better see me out on a contest
Cause you lost me at the crossroad sign
Year that was an old man
Now you cant hold me
All cause of this made up mind
Yeah youre looking for me up in the basement
You can look down in the Milky Way
Oh halla my name and I wont hear you
Cause Im in a higher place
I got a made up mind
I got a made up mind
And youre thinking about it all the time
Youre all fine
And I got a made up mind
Im going higher
Im not afraid
Licking my finger
Trilling the page
Oh I got a made up mind
Always be there up all the time
Sure as the moon as the stars gonna rise
I got a made up mind
I got a made up mind
Some made up mind
I got a made up mind oh oh
Oh, oh
Now this all be over
And my mind is made up
I got it made up
I got it made up |
In every heart there’s a name
Under the perfume and all the blame
In every heart
In every story a face
It won’t ever leave you, so dream away
In every heart
Just in time to tell the tale
Just before your ship sets sail
Comes and finds you without fail
In every heart
In every heart
In every soul there’s a psalm
Coming to find you to sing along
In every heart
In every life there’s a rhyme
Raise up the covers and let it shine
In every heart
Just in time to tell the tale
Just before your ship sets sail
Comes and finds you without fail
In every heart
In every heart
In every heart there’s a book
Turning the pages, how long it took
In every heart
In every heart there’s a voice
Getting a word in through all that noise
In every heart
Just in time to tell the tale
Just before your ship sets sail
Comes and finds you without fail
In every heart
In every heart |
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 its time you must leave
But darling, be home soon
I couldnt bear to wait
An extra minute if you dawdled
My darling, be home soon
Its not just these few hours
But Ive 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 Ive 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 couldnt bear to wait
An extra minute if you dawdled
My darling, be home soon
Its not just these few hours
But Ive been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
So, darling, my darling, be home soon
I couldnt bear to wait
An extra minute if you dawdled
My darling, be home soon
Its not just these few hours
But Ive 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
Its OK to shoot the moon
Darling, be home soon
I couldnt bear to wait
An extra minute if you dawdled
My darling, be home soon
Its not just these few hours
But Ive been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to |
You make me want to wake up in the morning
You make me want to be the best I can
Always searching, but never finding
Until you took me by my hand
I let go when I was young
Once abandoned all my trust was gone
Dont let me slide
Its just a matter of time
Dont let me slide
Into my dark side
You cant blame me, Lord, for trying
To hide behind the fool that I am
You know Ive never been afraid of flying
Just never knew how to land
I let go when I was young
Once abandoned all my trust had gone |
Why am I fixing to put you on a pedestal?
If the grass is greener, I think it might be chemical
My accent’s gone from major down to minor
In all this scene, you’d think I could find a
A strange and invincible
Sky comes crashing through
This crying over you
Strange and invincible
Sky comes breaking through
This crying over you
Im glad I caught you snooping round the swimming pool
Before I dove in made myself a bigger fool
I took my time and checked my Ps and Qs
Played my hand and now I’m rid of you
A strange and invincible
Sky comes breaking through
This crying over you
Strange and invincible
Sky comes breaking through
This crying over you
2x
Really, really want to live without you
Really, really want to deal without you
Really, really want to grow without you
Really, really want to know without you
A strange and invincible
Sky comes breaking through
This crying over you
Strange and invincible
Sky comes breaking through
This crying over you |
She wakes up in the morning
To a kettle on the stove
Peeling wallpaper
House next to a dusty road
She prays, oh Lord
Dont let these walls fall down
Cause shes got no money
But she works like hell
She loved him like a lady
Never did her too well
She prays, oh Lord
Dont let these walls fall down
Cause its been so damn hard
Since her man left town
Says, Ive been thinking
Bout you, baby
For such a long, long time
She cant help but wonder
On those rainy Saturdays
Where he is and where hes been
Is another trapped in his haze?
She prays, oh Lord
Dont let these walls fall down
Cause shes not lonely
And shes learned to get along
How many years will it take
Before he is really gone?
She prays, oh Lord
Dont let these walls fall down
Cause its been so damn hard
Since her man left town
Says, Ive been thinking
Bout you, baby
For such a long, long time |
I pity the fool
Oh, I said I pity the fool
Oh, I pity the fool
Oh, I pity the fool
Oh, I fall in love with you and expected it to be true
Oh, I pity the fool
Look at the people
I know you wonder what they doing
Theyre just standing there
Watching you make a fool of me
Lord, look at the people
I know you wonder what they are doing
They’re just standing there
Watching you make a fool of me
Oh, I pity the fool
Oh, I pity the fool that falls in love with you
Oh, I pity the fool
Oh, I said I pity the fool
Oh you now you break her heart one day
And then you left and walk away
Oh I pity the fool
Look at the people
I know you wonder what they doing
Theyre just standing there
Watching you make a fool of me
Lord, look at the people
I know you wonder what the hell they are doing
They’re just standing there
Watching you make a fool of me
Oooh...
Look at the people
I know you wonder what they are doing
Theyre just standing there
Watching you make a fool of me
Look, look, look, oooh
They’re just standing right there
Watching you make a fool of me
Alright, alright, oooh I
I pity the fool
I pity the girl that falls in love with you
Oh, I pity the girl who wants to go ahead and marry you
Oh, yeah
Yes I did, yes I did
I pity the girl
I knew you gonna break her heart someday
Lord I pity the fool, yes I do
I pity, I pity, I pity that fool, yes I do
Oh lord, oh lord
Somebody, somebody know
Lord dont they know
Oh I know they seen that kind a man before
Oh yeah |
Its all gone for the last time
And its a shame all the feelings were lost
Things we had were fine
But did we have to have them all the time?
Someday well find
Should have relied on time
All my friends came to see me this year
And I was glad to have them here
Now maybe weve gone away
But we can come back any day
If we find
How to rely on time
Oh my love, think of me through the years
About the way friends can laugh at their fears
But then a part of you
Can make it all come true
If we find
How to rely
If we find
How to rely on time |
Hallelujah, we got some rain
Yeah, we prayed for mud
To the low ground of yesterday
Comes the flood
Im so lucky
My pride and joy
Is my ball and chain
And theyre one and the same
Thought I was bound to get away
Now Im just bound
I dont mind when the hurricane
Comes around |
When you look into the mirror
Are you proud of what you see?
Do you take it all for granted?
Do you have all that you need?
Now I dont want to tell you
That Ive heard it all before
Cause Ive been taking
More than Ive been giving
And underneath my shadow
Theres so much that lies in store
Simple things
Make it all worth living
Looking for life without sorrow
Love without pain
So youve built these walls around you
To protect all that you own
You have kept out whats important
Hows it feel to be all alone?
I dont want to tell you
That Ive heard it all before
Cause Ive been taking
More than Ive been giving
And underneath my shadow
Theres so much that lies in store
Simple things
Make it all worth living
I dont claim to know the answers
I just know I could do much more
No excuses anymore
Now Ive opened up my window
Hear the children on the street
Love has stolen all the bitterness
And sent it off with the breeze |
Caught up in loneliness
The blues beget the blues
Open up your eyes
And do what you wanna do well
I’ll wait ‘til morning comes before Ill go
So do what you want to do
The way that your mama taught you
Do what you need, baby
I want to hear you sing
I got your rhythm alright
Open up my heart
And do what you want to do well
But I won’t ever believe
That your love is all you can give me
Our worlds are one and the same
So let’s make it all right
So do what you want to do
The way that your mama taught you
Do what you need, baby
I want to hear you say
Nothing can hold me down
I’m taking the long way round
Can’t get enough, I want more
When I come around this time
There’s nowhere to run and hide
I want more, more of you
All of you
Did ya, did ya give enough?
Did we, did we live enough?
Did we, did we share enough?
Did we, did we care enough?
Don’t you hold it inside
I wanna hear you
Nothing can hold me down
I’m taking the long way round
Can’t get enough, I want more
When I come around this time
There’s nowhere to run and hide
I want more, more of you
All of you
I want to hear you say baby |
Dont ask me what I think about it, I dont even know
Cause my hearts ticking down and the springs about to go
Got a lot of cloudy feelings on account of what theyve done
You got my eyes burning like honey in the sun
Shine
They dont shine just for anyone
Shine
They dont shine just for anyone
I was scratching at the windows of the folks up on the hill
But I aint calling down the bright lights anymore, I had my fill
Now the comedy is over, the tragedy is done
Oh, you got my eyes burning like honey in the sun
Shine
They dont shine just for anyone
Shine
They dont shine just for anyone
Shine
They dont shine just for anyone
Shine
They dont shine just for anyone
Shine
They dont shine just for anyone
Shine, shine, shine for anyone
Oh, shine
Shine, shine, shine just for anyone
They dont shine for anyone
Shine, shine, shine for anyone
They dont shine
Shine, shine, shine just for anyone
Oh, they dont shine
Shine, shine, shine for anyone
Oh, you can make them shine
Shine, shine, shine just for anyone
Come on, make them shine
Shine, shine, shine for anyone
Oh, they dont shine
Shine, shine, shine for anyone
Oh, they dont shine for anyone |
Youve given me faith
But love isnt fearful
You found the words
That I couldnt say
You touched my hand when I walked away
Just when I though you were gone
You came back, back in my life like a song
You, youre all I want
And all that I need
Times wasting away
Im down on my knees
Love is all we need be
Another day feeling sorrow
Theres nothing to lose
Theres always tomorrow
And with this hand in here
I found my way
Just when I though you were gone
You came back, back in my life like a song
You, youre all I want
And all that I need
And when you smile
Smile with your heart
Its plain to see
From the brother which we passed
I can see it clear as glass
There is eternity
In the things we cannot see
Fort the answer lies
Within a simple grain of sand
Just when I though you were gone
You came back, back in my life like a song
You, youre all I want
And all that I need
Times wasting away
Im down on my knees
Times wasting away
And when you smile
Smile with your heart
Its plain to see |
I went upstairs to pack my leavin trunk
I aint see no blues, whiskey made me sloppy drunk
I aint never seen no whiskey, the blues made me sloppy drunk
Im going back to Memphis babe, where Ill have much better luck
Lookout Mama you know you asked me to be your King
She said you kiddin man, if you want it, keep it hid
But please dont let my husband, my main man catch you here
Please dont let my main man, my husband catch you here
The blues are mushed up into three different ways
One said go the other two said stay
I woke up this mornin with the blues three different ways
You know one say go baby I want to hang up, the other two said stay
Wake up mama I got something to tell you
You know Im a man who love to sing the blues
Now you got to wake up baby, mama now, I got something; I got something to tell you
Well you know Im the man, Im the man oh yes and I love to sing the blues
Come on baby, Come on
I went upstairs to pack my leavin trunk, you know
I aint see no blues or whiskey made me sloppy drunk
I aint never seen no whiskey, the blues made me sloppy drunk
I go home baby and I lay down on the lawn |
Cant run away and I dont wanna fade
And I dont wanna walk in alone
Cant help the news but I dont fault you
And I brought it all on my own
How I wish I could fly
Like a bird in the summer sky
Just a ship with a sail
In the idle wind, idle wind
Now Ive got things to do and Im telling you
And I dont wanna stay anymore
And I wasnt shy like dream on high
Now Im old and I dont really care
Im just trying to be somebody happy
Im just trying to be somebody smart
How I wish I could fly
Like a bird in the summer sky
Just a ship with a sail
In the idle wind, idle wind
Why dont you sail away with me?
Love tell did I buy you baby
You got me...
Cause in the dim of night
And I sense some hope in the air
Now this warm little world
That must be hear
Must be spook and unprepared
How I wish I could fly
Like a bird in the summer sky
Just a ship with a sail
In the idle wind, idle wind
Idle wind, idle wind |
Wade in the water
Wade in the water
Children wade in the water
Gods gonna trouble the water
Whos that young girl dressed in red
Wade in the water
Must be the children that Moses left
And Gods gonna trouble the water
Whos that young girl dressed in white
Wade in the water
Must be the children of Israeli
Gods gonna trouble the water
Whos that young girl dressed in blue
Wade in the water
Must be the children coming true
And Gods gonna trouble the water |
They made their promises
Then they walked away
Fair-weather friends
Are gone for good
You never cared about
What others had to say
And through it all
You understood
You are my prayer in times of trouble
Ill be your answer when you call
Shelter you, shelter me
Wake up, but keep dreaming
That you were born to fly
When your heart is heavy
Like a stone
Ill lift your burden high
Until you realize
That through the storm
You soldiered on
You showed me that your actions
Speak louder than your words |
We were talking - about the space between us all
And the people - who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth - then its far too late - when they pass away
We were talking - about the love we all could share - when we find it
To try our best to hold it there - with our love
With our love - We could save the world - if they only knew
Try to realise its all within yourself no-one else can make you change
And to see youre really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you
We were talking - about the love thats gone so cold and the people
Who gain the world and lose their soul -
They dont know - they cant see - are you one of them?
When youve seen beyond yourself - then you may find
Peace of mind, is waiting there -
And the time will come when you see
Were all one, and life flows on within you and without you |
Muddy feet and whiskey legs
Comin at me like a subway train
Riddled language fill my ears with pain
Im laughing out loud cause I feel insane
Too tired to yawn
But Im willing to run
All this crazy
They keep me hangin on
Looking for smoke and that aint no joke
Hillbillies comin at me
Wont leave me alone
Summers past and Im losin steam
A slummers call in a winters dream
Too tired to yawn
But Im willing to love
Over the withered hills I roam
Tryin to keep me from going home
Black is the day and white is the night
Just enough blue to make it alright
How many dreams will you let flow by
Before you choose one to ride?
Muddy feet and whiskey legs
Coming at me like a subway train
Overthrow the spirit as the clocks strikes three
Daddy calls are following me
Black is the day, white is the night
Just enough blue to make it alright
How many dreams will you let flow by
Before you choose one to ride? |
I know you know right from wrong
It dont change a thing, just the same old song
But you know I see you bring it on yourself
When I point at you, yeah, it comes back to me
Aint no reason to hold it all inside
It all makes sense when you realize
Love has something else to say
When you go on changing my mind
Now that we have found our way
When you go on changing our minds
Cant trust your head, you cant trust in him
You cant fight the feeling that you put away
Its all the same, its always up and down
Aint nothing changed except a change in time
Aint no reason to hold it all inside
All makes sense when you realize
Love has something else to say
When we go on changing our minds
Now that we have found our way
When we go on changing our mind
Aint no reason, aint no reason to change
When youre on the right track
I know its hard now, know its hard to do right
When you want to do wrong
Aint no reason, aint no reason to change
When youre on the right track
I know that it is hard, I know its hard to do it right
When you want to do wrong
Love has something else to say
When we go on changing our minds
Now that we have found our way
When we go on changing our minds
Love has something else to say
When we go on changing our minds
Love, love, love, love
When we go on changing our minds
Love has something else to say
When we go on changing our minds
Love has something else to say
When we go on changing our minds
Love, love, love, love
When we go on changing our minds
Love has something else to say
When we go on changing our minds |
All talk all day
Down the west highway
Liar burning in my neighborhood
All that I say but it never would
got to move away
I didnt believe him
That Im gonna stay
Dont wanna turn to that place there too high
Deal me a seat
Ive waited all this time
When starts highland
Starts that moving in
Storm will rise up
No where land this way
Formal rising, hotels coming back
You cant deny it
at me |
Things just arent going nowhere
Ive been back and forth through hell
Im tired of racing idly around the track
For some reason I just keep coming back
Patiently waiting here for your call
While youre tearing away from it all
I might as well be misunderstood
Youre not hearing me so good
I might as well be in the dark
You cant see things falling apart, no
Its like a love that you never dared
Its like a pain that I never felt
Go on and cuff me so I can bleed
Just let me have it so I can be free
Patiently waiting here for your call
While youre tearing away from it all
I might as well be misunderstood
Youre not hearing me so good
I might as well be in the dark
You cant see things falling apart, no
Rain fell of the things that you have said
Outside youre dry
You thought you had slept so long
Left it all meanwhile
You hear the sound of silence as the marching band goes by
Love you but Im leaving here
Dont say I didnt try
I might as well be misunderstood
Youre not hearing me so good, no
I might as well be in the dark
You cant see things falling apart, no
I might as well be misunderstood
Youre not hearing me so good
I might as well be in the dark
You cant see things falling apart
I might as well be misunderstood
Cause you aint giving me so good
I might as well be in the dark
Can you see it falling apart?
Misunderstood
Misunderstood
Misunderstood
Misunderstood
Misunderstood |
Wake up you sleepyhead
Put on some clothes
Shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
Ive made some breakfast and coffee
Look out my window and what do I see
A crack in the sky
And a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though theyre
Here to stay
What are we coming to
No room for me
No fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found
By the Golden ones
Written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned
What we were here for
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though
Theyre here to stay
Oh You Pretty Things
Dont you know youre driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Oh You Pretty Things
Dont you know youre driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Let me make it plain
You gotta make way
For the Homo Superior
Look at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Dont kid yourself they belong to you
Theyre the start of a coming race
The earth is a bitch
Weve finished our news
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though theyre here to stay
Oh You Pretty Things
Dont you know youre driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Oh You Pretty Things
Dont you know youre driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Let me make it plain
You gotta make way
For the Homo Superior |
When the sun comes shining through
Lighting up what’s left of you
And you put it all aside for another day
Pick it up and rearrange it
Though you know that you won’t change it
Cause you’ve always been a stranger anyway
Now you left your window open
Just to keep your spirit rolling
But you’re hoping that your mind will close the door
Take it up two steps higher
When you’re drowning in the fire
The hope you had helped you on along the way
If the story feels exactly like a dream
Don’t know what it means
Things ain’t what they seem
And you can’t just turn the page and let it go
Things that you’ve been told
Are deep down in your soul
Now don’t make your move too early
Or you’ll show up in a hurry
You can fall down and surely lose your way
Heaven help you if you mean it
Cause theres those that would defeat it
They can turn you around and take it all away
Now dont look down in the dirt
Just to find out what you’re worth
Cause that song and dance was never worth the time
So work hard and do it right
Learn to speak up and to fight
The truth is gonna beat them down the line
If the story feels exactly like a dream
Don’t know what it means
Things ain’t what they seem
And you can’t just turn the page and let it go
Things that you’ve been told
Are deep down in your soul
If the story feels exactly like a dream
Don’t know what it means
Things ain’t what they seem
And you can’t just turn the page and let it go
Things that you’ve been told
Are deep down in your soul
If the story feels exactly like a dream
Don’t know what it means
Things ain’t what they seem
And you can’t just turn the page and let it go
Things that you’ve been told
Are deep down in your soul
If the story feels exactly like a dream
Don’t know what it means
Things ain’t what they seem
And you can’t just turn the page and let it go
Things that you’ve been told
Are deep down in your soul
If the story feels exactly like a dream
Don’t know what it means
Things ain’t what they seem
And you can’t just turn the page and let it go
Things that you’ve been told
Are deep down in your soul
If the story feels exactly like a dream
Don’t know what it means
Things ain’t what they seem
And you can’t just turn the page and let it go
Things that you’ve been told
Are deep down in your soul
If the story feels exactly like a dream
Don’t know what it means
Things ain’t what they seem
And you can’t just turn the page and let it go
Things that you’ve been told
Are deep down in your soul |
I was left in, playing in the streets
I was unknowing, I fleeted from my faith
Lately, dreamer that will never really show it
I got to look, look away
I was a young girl, when I shook your stage
You walked right into my life, doorway, love story
Gotta keep on growing, keep on growing
Keep on growing, yeh, yeh, yeah
I was standing, steering in the face of my new lover
Feeling is so strange
Growing, treated love that she could understand
But the
She took me by the hand, told me that I was lost
She said she gonna keep on, alright boy
Oh, just in love
Keep on growing, keep on growing
Keep on growing, yeh, yeh, yeah
Baby
Baby, something that we knew
She left you when its huge
Had me walk in, together hand in-hand
We go on forever, yes you knew
Now times has going to changes, Lord and know its you
And our lover is going to keep on, growing, growing, growing
Not, not overdue, oh
Gotta keep on growing, keep on growing
Keep on growing, yeh, yeh, yeah
Gotta keep on growing, keep on growing
Keep on growing, yeh, yeh, yeah |
Well, I came to the city
I was running from the past
My heart was bleeding
And it hurt my bones to laugh
Stayed in the city
No exception to the rule
He was born to love me
I was raised to be his fool
Walk that line, torn apart
Spend your whole life trying
Ride that train, free your heart
Its midnight up in Harlem
I went down to the river
And I took a look around
There were old mans shoes
There were needles on the ground
No more mysteries, baby
No more secrets, no more clues
The stars are out there
You can almost see the moon
The streets are windy
And the subways closing down
Gonna carry this dream
To the other side of town |
People stopping staring
I cant see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
Im going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the North East wind
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone
Im going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the North East wind
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone
Everybodys talking at me
I dont hear a word theyre saying
Only the echoes of my mind
I wont let you leave my love behind
No I wont let you leave
I wont let you leave my love behing |
Caught up in loneliness
The blues beget the blues
Open up your eyes
And do what you wanna do well
I’ll wait ‘til morning comes before Ill go
So do what you want to do
The way that your mama taught you
Do what you need, baby
I want to hear you sing
I got your rhythm alright
Open up my heart
And do what you want to do well
But I won’t ever believe
That your love is all you can give me
Our worlds are one in the same
So let’s make it all right
So do what you want to do
The way that your mama taught you
Do what you need, baby
I want to hear you say
Nothing can hold me down
I’m taking the long way round
Can’t get enough, I want more
When I come around this time
There’s nowhere to run and hide
I want more, more of you
All of you
Did ya, did ya give enough?
Did we, did we live enough?
Did we, did we share enough?
Did we, did we care enough?
Don’t you hold it inside
I wanna hear you
Nothing can hold me down
I’m taking the long way round
Can’t get enough, I want more
When I come around this time
There’s nowhere to run and hide
I want more, more of you
All of you
I want to hear you say baby |
I told you that times are a-changin’
Ive got a body to move
If you’re just willing to stand there
With nothing to say or to prove
Even a king gives sometimes
Even if he don’t care
Forget what we said last December
Cuz It’s been a hell of a year
Well leave all the words with the summer
Remember what brought us up here
Somewhere the sky is crying
I’m where the air is clear
Let me get by
Let me get by
Let me get by
Cause time won’t wait
The message that came in a bottle
Said you sure got a problem with me
So we made you a bed out of roses
But you were the Prince of the Pea
Even a king gives sometimes
Even if he don’t care
Let me get by
Let me get by
Let me get by
‘Cause time won’t wait
Let me get by
Let me get by
Let me get by
‘Cause time won’t wait
Let me get by
Let me get by
Let me get by
‘Cause time won’t wait
Let me get by
Let me get by
Let me get by
‘Cause time won’t wait |
So you got the high ground, baby
But you know it wont last long
Cause your hand was
Its time to show
So high and mighty now
You think youre safe from pain
Im gonna be right there
When you creep away
Drop your head in shame
One of these days
Were gonna breathe in real life
Cause when theres dark before
I know were survive
Im gonna shout
Im gonna sing out loud
Im gonna soldier til we get there
Im gonna pray
Im gonna love everyday
You cant tell me to be careful
My my, how far weve come
Keep breaking all the rules
But you know were
It aint nothing new
Weve been played the fool
Deep down we knew the score
It aint right to deal in pain
Its time to turn the page
Gotta open up
See were all the same
One of these days
Were gonna breathe in real life
Cause when theres dark before
I know were survive
Im gonna shout
Im gonna sing out loud
Im gonna soldier til we get there
Im gonna pray
Im gonna love everyday
You cant tell me to be careful
Im gonna shout
Im gonna sing out loud
Im gonna soldier til we get there
Im gonna pray
Im gonna love everyday
You cant tell me to be careful
Im gonna shout
Im gonna sing out loud
Im gonna soldier til we get there
Im gonna pray
Im gonna love everyday
You cant tell me to be careful |
Why am I fixing to put you on a pedestal?
If the grass is greener, I think it might be chemical
My accent’s gone from major down to minor
In all this scene, you’d think I could find a
A strange and invincible
Sky comes crashing through
This crying over you
Strange and invincible
Sky comes breaking through
This crying over you
Im glad I caught you snooping round the swimming pool
Before I dove in made myself a bigger fool
I took my time and checked my Ps and Qs
Played my hand and now I’m rid of you
A strange and invincible
Sky comes crashing through
This crying over you
Strange and invincible
Sky comes breaking through
This crying over you
Really, really want to live without you
Really, really want to deal without you
Really, really want to grow without you
Really, really want to know without you
A strange and invincible
Sky comes crashing through
This crying over you
Strange and invincible
Sky comes breaking through
This crying over you |
When I watched you walk away
I knew I’d gone too far
I’m on my knees to plead for mercy
Don’t want to live and hurt alone
And if you feel like I feel
Then come on, baby
You must remember
That we’re one in a million years
And then maybe you will remember
That we were always going to work it out
I just wanna say
I don’t wanna to wait
Until our love is gone
Come on and feel me
I don’t wanna
Live in pain
I don’t wanna
Love in vain
Can you hear me?
Since you saved me from myself
I’m going to live for love
Ride the wind wherever it may take us
And lay it down and grow
If you feel like I feel
Then come on, baby
You must remember
That we’re one in a million years
And then maybe we could do it over
Hold each other til the world just disappears
I just wanna say
I don’t wanna to wait
Until our love is gone
Come on and feel me
I don’t wanna
Live in pain
I don’t wanna
Love in vain
Can you hear me?
If you turn your back on me
I won’t believe you don’t believe
All the days that pass us by
Our flame will carry on
I just wanna say
I don’t wanna to wait
Until our love is gone
Come on and feel me
I don’t wanna
Live in pain
I don’t wanna
Love in vain
Can you hear me? |
Ive just reached a place
Where the willow dont bend
Theres not much more to be said
Its the top of the end, now
Im going
Well, Im going
Im gone
Im closin the book
On the pages and the text
And I really dont care
What happens next
Im just going
Yes, Im going
Im gone
I been hangin on threads
Playin it straight
Now, Ive just got to cut loose
Before it gets too late
Im going
I am going
Im gone
Grandma said, Boy, follow your heart
Youll be fine at the end of the line
All thats gold isnt meant to shine
Dont you and your one true love ever part
I been walkin on the road
Livin on the edge
Now Ive just got to go
Before I get to the ledge
Im going
Im going
Im gone
Im going
Oh, Im going
Im gone
Im gone
Im going
Im going
Im gone
Well, Im going
Oh, Im going
Im gone
Yeah, Im going
Oh, Im going
Yeah, Im gone |
Apologies for last night
My conscience wouldn’t let me sleep
The words kept following me
A miracle that’s come undone
The complications of the week
What is that you lack?
What is that you seek?
Does a smile come alive
When you share the wine?
And the love that you make
Is it right on time?
Poor old Romeo
Juliet is at his feet
Maybe she’s just asleep
If sorry doesn’t get you home
Or dignity in defeat
What is it that you lack?
What is it that you seek?
Hey, it’s not yours and it’s not mine
Hey, I’m just here to share your time
Don’t you pay those spinning wheels no mind
Hey, it’s not yours and it’s not mine
Hey, I’m just here to share your time
Don’t you pay those spinning wheels no mind
Hey, it’s not yours and it’s not mine
Hey, I’m just here to share your time
Don’t you pay those spinning wheels no mind
Hey, it’s not yours and it’s not mine
Hey, I’m just here to share your time
Don’t you pay those spinning wheels no mind |
All you can do is mean it
All you can do is care
And if it hurts, believe it
Theres something there
Baby, its rainin moonshine
Stars comin on like a dream
Angels that flicker in Heaven
I gave my heart in Memphis
A good-time
And Ill never see that face
Ever again in this world
But I gave my heart so truly
Thats how a heart survives
If I should be so lucky
To carry it til he dies
Nobody gives a good goddamn
If we win or we lose
And either way, it isnt ours to choose
All you can do is mean it
All you can do is try
Give me your hand, baby
Dance with me into the by-and-by
Come take my hand, baby
Dance with me into the by-and-by |
I can’t leave that urge alone
When I lay it down it says, “Come on!”
I raised the devil on my own
Gonna scratch and claw until it’s gone
Just as strange to me
Weighing on my mind
Riding on your trail
Pay it down the line
I’m going to live better, baby
My wave’s gonna break at dawn
I’m going to sweat it out until I make it
And be free from these chains that bound
Just as strange to me
Weighing on my mind
Riding on your trail
Pay it down the line
Just as strange to me
Weighing on my mind
Riding on your trail
Pay it down the line
Just as strange to me
Weighing on my mind
Riding on your trail
Pay it down the line
Just as strange to me
Weighing on my mind
Riding on your trail
Pay it down the line
Just as strange to me
Weighing on my mind
Riding on your trail
Pay it down the line |
I know you know right from wrong
It dont change a thing, just the same old song
But you know I see you bring it on yourself
When I point at you, yeah, it comes back to me
Aint no reason to hold it all inside
It all makes sense when you realize
Love has something else to say
When you go on changing my mind
Now that we have found our way
When you go on changing your minds
Cant trust your head, you cant trust in him
Cant fight the feeling that you put away
Its all the same, its always up and down
Aint nothing changed except a change in time
Aint no reason to hold it all inside
All makes sense when you realize
Love has something else to say
When we go on changing our minds
Now that we have found our way
When we go on changing our mind
Aint no reason, aint no reason to change
When youre on the right track
I know its hard now, know its hard to do right
When you want to do wrong
Aint no reason, aint no reason to change
When youre on the right track
I know that it is hard, I know its hard to do it right
When you want to do wrong
Love has something else to say
When we go on changing our minds
Now that we have found our way
When we go on changing our minds
Love has something else to say
When we go on changing our minds
Love, love, love, love
When we go on changing our minds
Love has something else to say
When we go on changing our minds
Love has something else to say
When we go on changing our minds
Love, love, love, love
When we go on changing our minds
Love has something else to say
When we go on changing our minds |
In every heart there’s a name
Under the perfume and all the blame
In every heart
In every story a face
It won’t ever leave you, so dream away
In every heart
Just in time to tell the tale
Just before your ship sets sail
Comes and finds you without fail
In every heart
In every heart
In every soul there’s a psalm
Coming to find you to sing along
In every heart
In every life there’s a rhyme
Raise up the covers and let it shine
In every heart
Just in time to tell the tale
Just before your ship sets sail
Comes and finds you without fail
In every heart
In every heart
In every heart there’s a book
Turning the pages, how long it took
In every heart
In every heart there’s a voice
Getting a word in through all that noise
In every heart
Just in time to tell the tale
Just before your ship sets sail
Comes and finds you without fail
In every heart
In every heart |
She wakes up in the morning
To a kettle on the stove
Peeling wallpaper
House next to a dusty road
She prays, oh Lord
Dont let these walls fall down
Cause shes got no money
But she works like hell
She loved him like a lady
Never did her too well
She prays, oh Lord
Dont let these walls fall down
Cause its been so damn hard
Since her man left town
Says, Ive been thinking
Bout you, baby
For such a long, long time
She cant help but wonder
On those rainy Saturdays
Where he is and where hes been
Is another trapped in his haze?
She prays, oh Lord
Dont let these walls fall down
Cause shes not lonely
And shes learned to get along
How many years will it take
Before he is really gone?
She prays, oh Lord
Dont let these walls fall down
Cause its been so damn hard
Since her man left town
Says, Ive been thinking
Bout you, baby
For such a long, long time |
When we first met, baby
You said it was me and you
But I found out later
That was others too
But I didnt quit you, baby
I hung on like a vine
But when you say your love for me
Was all in my mind
Oh, that did it, baby
Lord, that did it, baby
Well, aint no need in coming back
Thats the end and thats that
Oh, you did it, baby
I work six days a week
In the rich folks yard
And anybody can tell you, baby
That kinda work is real hard
You know I didnt mind
Taking care of you
But I saw your other man
Wearing my brand new shoes
Oh, Lord, that did it, baby
Oh, that did it, baby
Well, there aint no coming back
Thats the end and thats that
Oh, you did it, baby
Theres one thing I wanna say
You said wed get married
In the early spring
I passed a pawn shop today
I peeked in and saw my ring
You say you needed the money
To pay your rent
But I saw you sitting at the bar
Spending your last red cent
Oh, that did it, baby
Oh, that did it, baby
Well, I know you think youre slick
But you played your last trick
Oh, you did it, baby
Lord, you did it, baby
Its all, its all over now, baby
I said you played your last trick now, baby
Lord, its all over |
I can’t leave that urge alone
When I lay it down it says, “Come on!”
I raised the devil on my own
Gonna scratch and claw until it’s gone
Just as strange to me
Weighing on my mind
Riding on your trail
Pay it down the line
I’m going to live better, baby
My wave’s gonna break at dawn
I’m going to sweat it out until I make it
And be free from these chains that bound
Just as strange to me
Weighing on my mind
Riding on your trail
Pay it down the line
Just as strange to me
Weighing on my mind
Riding on your trail
Pay it down the line
Just as strange to me
Weighing on my mind
Riding on your trail
Pay it down the line
Just as strange to me
Weighing on my mind
Riding on your trail
Pay it down the line
Just as strange to me
Weighing on my mind
Riding on your trail
Pay it down the line |
I roll and I tumble, cried the whole night long
Yes I roll and I tumble, I cried the whole night long
I got up this morning, feeling that something going on wrong
Well now want you to love me baby, or please let me be
Yes love me baby, or please let me be
If you dont like my peaches please dont shake my tree
Well I want you to love me baby, and come on and say youll be mine
I want you to love me baby, come on and say youll be mine
If you dont like my potatoes, please dont dig up my vine |
All talk all day
Down the west highway
Liar burning in my neighborhood
All that I say but it never would
..got to move away
I didnt believe him
That Im gonna stay
Dont wanna turn to that place there too high
Deal me a seat
Ive waited all this time
When starts highland
Starts that moving in
Storm will rise up
No where land this way
Formal rising, hotels coming back
You cant deny it
...at me

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spent all my money, I just did not care
Took all my friends out for a good time
Bought bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
Im gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins, yeah
Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When youre down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you dont have any
When you finally get back up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend
Said its mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when youre down and out, yeah
But when you finally gеt back up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend
Said its mighty strangе, yeah
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you when youre down and out |
You can laugh about it, something’s in the air
You can cry about it, no one really cares
No, nobody see’s it
You can sing about it, sing it in a prayer
You can scream about it, hands up in the air
No, youre not suppose to feel it
But now, now that we’ve seen it
Rise up, right where they pushed you down
Don’t let nobody ever turn you round
Try, try to believe it
All the caring and hard work and trouble
Is worth the chance
You can talk about it, it was always there
Ain’t no doubt about it, it ain’t always fair
So where, do we take it from here
When life, is what we make it
Rise up, right where they pushed you down
Don’t let nobody ever turn you round
Try, try to believe it
All the caring and hard work and sorrow
Is worth the chance
Stand up while you still can
Rise up, its worth the chance
Rise up
Keep them up, right where I can see them
Keep your hands up high, right where I can see them
Aint no time for freedom
Oh no, oh no, oh no
You can laugh all about it, If you will
Something is in the air, you can cry about it
I said no one really cares, nobody see’s it
Sing it in a prayer, you can scream about it
Oh, but keep those hands in the air
Right where I can see them, hands right in the air
Aint no time for freedom
Keep your hands up, oh yeah
Keep your hands up, oh yeah
Keep your hands, oh right on up
Keep your hands right on up where I can see them
Keep them up, get them up

Bell bottom blues, you made me cry
I dont want to lose this feeling
And if I could choose a place to die
It would be in your arms
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I’d gladly do it because
I dont want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I dont want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay
It’s all wrong, but its all right
The way that you treat me baby
Once I was strong but I lost the fight
You wont find a better loser
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
Id gladly do it bеcause
I dont want to fade away
Give mе one more day, please
I dont want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
Id gladly do it cause

Give me one more day, please
I don’t want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay
Bell bottom blues, dont say goodbye
We’re surely gonna meet again
And if we do, dont you be surprised
If you find me with another lover
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
Id gladly do it cause
I don’t want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I dont want to fade away

I know you know
Right from wrong
It dont change a thing
Just the same old song
But you know I see
You bring it on yourself
When I point at you
It comes back to me
Aint no reason to hold it all inside
It all makes sense when you realize
Love has something else to say
Then we go changing our minds
Now that we have found our way
Then we go changing our minds
Cant trust your head
Cant trust in him
Cant fight the feeling
That you put away
Its all the same
Always up and down
Aint nothing changed
Except a change in time
Aint no reason to hold it all inside
It all makes sense when you realize
Aint no reason
Aint no reason to change
When youre on the right track
I know its hard
I know its hard to do right
When you want to do wrong |
Baby, evrything is all right, uptight, out of sight
Baby, evrything is all right, uptight, out of sight
Im a poormans son, from across the railroad tracks
The only shirt I own is hangin on my back
But Im the envy of evry single guy
Since Im the apple of my girls eye
When we go out stepping on the town for a while
My moneys low and my suits out of style
But its all right if my clothes arent new
Out of sight because my heart is true
She says baby evrything is alright, uptight, out of sight
Baby, evrything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight
Shes a pearl of a girl, I guess thats what you might say
I guess her folks brought her up that way
The right side of the tracks, she was born and raised
In a great big old house, full of butlers and maids
She says no one is better than I, I know Im just an average guy
No football hero or smooth Don Juan
Got empty pockets, you see Im a poormans son
She says give her the things that money can buy
But Ill never, never make my baby cry
And its all right, what I cant do
Out of sight because my heart is true
She says baby evrything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight
Baby, evrything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight
Baby, evrything is alright, uptight, ah ah ah ah
Baby, evrything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight
Baby, evrything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight |
You were talking and I thought I heard you say
Please leave me alone
Nothing in this world can make me stay
Id rather go back, Id rather go back home
But if you believed in me like I believe in you
We could have a love so true, we would go on endlessly
And I know anyday, anyday, I will see you smile
Any way, any way, only for a little while
Well someday baby, I know youre gonna need me
When this old world has got you down
Ill be right here, so woman call me
And Ill nevеr ever let you down
But if you bеlieved in me like I believe in you
We could have a love so true, we would go on endlessly
And I know anyday, anyday, I will see you smile
Any way, any way, just for a little while
And I know anyday, anyday, I will see you smile
Any way, any way, only for a little while
To break the glass and twist the knife into yourself
Youve got to be a fool to understand
To bring your woman back home after shes left you for another
Youve got to be a, youve got to be a man
But if you believed in me like I believe in you
We could have a love so true, we would go on endlessly
And I know anyday, anyday, I will see you smile
Any way, any way, just for a little while
And I know anyday, anyday, I will see you smile
Any way, any way, only for a little while |
I got the key to the highway
Billed out and bound to go
Im gonna leave here running
Walking is much too slow
Im going back to the border
Woman, where Im better known
You know you havent done nothing
Drove a good man away from home
Oh give me one, one more kiss mama
Just before I go
Cause when I leave this time you know I
I wont be back no more
I got the key, key to the highway
Billed out and bound to go
Im gonna leave here running
Walking is most too slow
I got the kеy, key to the highway
Billed out and bound to go
Im gonna lеave here running
Walking is most too slow
Im going back, back to the border
Babe, Id better go
You know you havent done nothing
Drove a good man away from home |

'Train' can be easily divided into 'train' & 'validation' & 'test' with few lines of code:
from datasets import load_dataset, Dataset, DatasetDict
import numpy as np
datasets = load_dataset("huggingartists/tedeschi-trucks-band")
train_percentage = 0.9
validation_percentage = 0.07
test_percentage = 0.03
train, validation, test = np.split(datasets['train']['text'], [int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*train_percentage), int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*(train_percentage + validation_percentage))])
datasets = DatasetDict(
{
'train': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(train)}),
'validation': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(validation)}),
'test': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(test)})
}
