(sittin' on) the dock of the bay

buickregal(One-Way Highway)
Sara Bareilles did a wonderful job covering this classic song from Otis Redding; this is the feeling that the song should be like.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`````````

(sittin' on) the dock of the bay


Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
And I'll watch them roll away again
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wasting time, yeah

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay, yeah
'Cause I have nothing to live for
Look like nothing's gonna come my way
So I've just to sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Just wasting time, hey, hey, yeah yeah…

Oh…It looks like nothing's gonna change
Yes everything remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
I guess I'll remain the same, yeah

Sittin' here resting my bones
This loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home

So I've just to sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Just wasting time, ah wasting time…

      So long, Marianne
      - By Leonard Cohen

      Come over to the window, my little darling,
      I'd like to try to read your palm.
      I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy
      before I let you take me home.

      Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
      to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

      Well you know that I love to live with you,
      but you make me forget so very much.
      I forget to pray for the angels
      and then the angels forget to pray for us.

      Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began ...

      We met when we were almost young
      deep in the green lilac park.
      You held on to me like I was a crucifix,
      as we went kneeling through the dark.

      Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began ...

      Your letters they all say that you're beside me now.
      Then why do I feel alone?
      I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
      is fastening my ankle to a stone.

      Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began ...

      For now I need your hidden love.
      I'm cold as a new razor blade.
      You left when I told you I was curious,
      I never said that I was brave.

      Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began ...

      Oh, you are really such a pretty one.
      I see you've gone and changed your name again.
      And just when I climbed this whole mountainside,
      to wash my eyelids in the rain!

      Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began ...

        Lonely Stranger
        - By Eric Clapton

        I must be invisible;
        No one knows me.
        I have crawled down dead-end streets
        On my hands and knees.

        I was born with a ragin' thirst,
        A hunger to be free,
        But I've learned through the years.
        Don't encourage me.

        [Chorus:]
        'Cause I'm a lonely stranger here,
        Well beyond my day.
        And I don't know what's goin' on,
        So I'll be on my way.

        When I walk, stay behind;
        Don't get close to me,
        'Cause it's sure to end in tears,
        So just let me be.

        Some will say that I'm no good;
        Maybe I agree.
        Take a look then walk away.
        That's all right with me.

        [Chorus]

        • 我更喜欢Eric Clapton为坠楼而死的四岁儿子写的经典名曲Tears in Heaven。他极尽天堂的想象，真真悲到极致："'cause i know there's no more tears in heaven", which means a lot of tears outside heaven or in this world! -hsl(胡司令); 2011-1-18 {373} (#6464059@0)

            COLETTI: Is "Lonely Stranger" part of this "healing process" song cycle?

            CLAPTON: Sort of. I wrote that in Los Angeles while I was doing the score for
            Rush, and I was just very lonely in L.A.- I felt like an English exile trying
            to beat the odds. You can get a lot of very strange vibrations coming in from
            the outside and doing something with the film industry. I really wrote that
            song to try to kind of cheer myself up.
            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``
            so it is actually a happy song.

          I started a joke
          - By Kathryn Williams (covers Bee Gees)

          I started a joke
          which started the whole world crying
          But I didn't see that the joke was on me oh no
          I started to cry
          which started the whole world laughing
          Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me

          I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes
          And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said
          'Till I finally died which started the whole world living
          Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me

          I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes
          And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said
          'Till I finaly died which started the whole world living

            You Don't Bring Me Flowers

            Neil Diamond Duet with Brabra Streisand


            You don't bring me flowers
            You don't sing me love songs
            You hardly talk to me anymore
            When I come through the door
            At the end of the day

            I remember when
            You couldn't wait to love me
            Used to hate to leave me
            Now after lovin' me late at night
            When it's good for you, babe
            And you're feelin' alright
            Well you just roll over
            And turn out the light
            And you don't bring me flowers anymore

            It used to be so natural
            To talk about forever
            But "used to be's" don't count anymore
            They just lay on the floor
            'Til we sweep them away

            And baby, I remember
            All the things you taught me
            I learned how to laugh
            And I learned how to cry
            Well I learned how to love
            even learned how to lie
            So you'd think I could learn
            How to tell you goodbye
            You don't bring me flowers anymore

            Well you'd think I could learn
            how to tell you 'goodbye'
            You don't say you need me
            You don't sing me love songs
            You don't bring me flowers anymore...

              The way we were
              - By Barbra Streisand

              Memories
              Light the corners of my mind
              Misty watercolor memories
              Of the way we were
              Scattered pictures
              Of the smiles we left behind
              Smiles we gave to one another
              For the way we were

              Can it be that it was all so simple then
              Or has time rewritten every line
              If we had the chance to do it all again
              Tell me - Would we? Could we?

              Memories
              May be beautiful and yet
              What's too painful to remember
              We simply choose to forget

              So it's the laughter
              We will remember
              Whenever we remember
              The way we were

              So it's the laughter
              We will remember
              Whenever we remember
              The way we were

                Come on skinny love just last the year
                Pour a little salt, we were never here
                My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
                Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

                I tell my love to wreck it all
                Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
                My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
                Right in this moment this order's tall

                I told you to be patient
                I told you to be fine
                And I told you to be balanced
                And I told you to be kind

                In the morning I'll be with you
                But it will be a different kind
                I'll be holding all the tickets
                And you'll be owning all the fines

                Come on skinny love what happened here
                We suckled on the hope in lite brassieres
                My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
                Sullen load is full, so slow on the split

                And I told you to be patient
                And I told you to be fine
                And I told you to be balanced
                And I told you to be kind

                And now all your love is wasted
                And who the hell was I?
                I'm breaking at the bridges
                And at the end of all your lines

                Who will love you?
                Who will fight?
                Who will fall far behind?

                  There's a harvest each saturday night
                  At the bars filled with perfume and hitching a ride
                  A place you can stand for one night and get gone
                  It's clear this conversation ain't' doing a thing
                  Cause these boys only listen to me when i sing
                  And i don't feel like singing tonight
                  All the same songs

                  Here in these deep city lights
                  Girl could get lost tonight
                  I'm finding every reason to be gone
                  Nothing here to hold on to
                  Could i hold you?

                  The situation's always the same
                  You got your wolves in their clothes whispering Hollywood's name
                  Stealing gold from the silver they see
                  But it's not me

                  Here in these deep city lights
                  Girl could get lost tonight
                  I'm finding every reason to be gone
                  There's nothing here to hold on to
                  Could i hold you?

                  Calling out somebody save me i feel like i'm fading away
                  Am i gone?
                  Calling out somebody save me i feel like i'm fading

                  In these deep city lights

                    I'm gonna fix my mind with a final destination
                    And have a deep sleep upon a sweet dream
                    I'll never realize...no

                    Listen up now honey, you're gonna be sorry
                    Can't get out from under a sky that is falling
                    And you say
                    No fame no money I'm nobody
                    The way I'm running has sure got me down
                    On my knees.
                    Next stop, Vegas please.
                    Can you take me to Vegas?

                      Sara Bareilles - Many The Miles

                      There's too many things that i haven't done yet
                      Too many sunsets
                      I haven't seen
                      You can't waste the day wishing it'd slow down
                      You would've thought by now
                      I'd have learned something

                      I made up my mind when i was a young girl
                      I've been given this one world
                      I won't worry it away
                      But now and again i lose sight of the good life
                      I get stuck in a low light
                      But then Love comes in

                      How far do i have to go to get to you
                      Many the miles
                      Many the miles
                      How far do i have to go to get to you
                      Many the miles
                      But send me the miles and i'll be happy to follow you Love

                      I do what i can wherever i end up
                      To keep giving my good love
                      And spreading it around
                      Cause i've had my fiar share of take care and goodbyes
                      I've learned how to cry
                      And i'm better for that

                      Sing how far do i have to go to get to you
                      Many the miles
                      Many the miles
                      How far do i have to go to get to you
                      Many the miles
                      Send me the miles and i'll be happy to
                      Follow you Love

                      Red letter day and i'm in a blue mood
                      Wishing that blue would just carry me away
                      I've been talking to God don't know
                      If it's helping or not
                      But surely something has got to got to got to give
                      Cause i can't keep waiting to live

                      How far do i have to go to get to you

                歌词

                All of my life
                I been searching
                For someone to find me
                I have been looking
                Waiting for your arms
                To pull Me

                You took Me
                In from the cold
                And out of the dark
                You have taken Me
                Into your heart

                Chorus

                You are my home
                You are the one that I come to
                You are the shelter I run to
                To keep Me safe from the cold
                You are my home
                You are the love
                that completes me
                You are the touch
                That has freed Me
                I look in your eyes
                And I know
                You are my home

                You were the light in the window
                When I couldnt find my way
                You led my heart to
                Want them to place me
                Here besides you

                You are where I always will be
                You are where I belong
                I've been looking for you
                For so long

                You are my home
                You are the one that I come to

      (sittin' on) the dock of the bay


      Sittin' in the morning sun
      I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
      Watching the ships roll in
      And I'll watch them roll away again
      I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
      Watching the tide roll away
      Sittin' on the dock of the bay
      Wasting time, yeah

      I left my home in Georgia
      Headed for the Frisco bay, yeah
      'Cause I have nothing to live for
      Look like nothing's gonna come my way
      So I've just to sit on the dock of the bay
      Watching the tide roll away
      Sittin' on the dock of the bay
      Just wasting time, hey, hey, yeah yeah…

      Oh…It looks like nothing's gonna change
      Yes everything remains the same
      I can't do what ten people tell me to do
      I guess I'll remain the same, yeah

      Sittin' here resting my bones
      This loneliness won't leave me alone
      It's two thousand miles I roam
      Just to make this dock my home

      So I've just to sit on the dock of the bay
      Watching the tide roll away
      I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
      Just wasting time, ah wasting time…

        Led Zeppelin - Going To California

        Spent my days with a woman unkind, Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
        Made up my mind to make a new start, Going To California with an aching in my heart.
        Someone told me there's a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
        Took my chances on a big jet plane, never let them tell you that they'all are the same.
        The sea was red and the sky was grey,I wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
        The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
        as the children of the sun began to awake.

        Seems that the wrath of the Gods
        Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
        I think I might be sinking.
        Throw me a line if I reach it in time
        I'll meet you up there where the path
        Runs straight and high.

        To find a queen without a king,
        They say she plays guitar and cries and sings... la la la la
        Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
        Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born.
        Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
        Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.

      Nick Cave - Into My Arms

      I don't believe in an interventionist God
      But I know, darling, that you do
      But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
      Not to intervene when it came to you
      Not to touch a hair on your head
      To leave you as you are
      And if He felt He had to direct you
      Then direct you into my arms


      Into my arms, O Lord
      Into my arms, O Lord
      Into my arms, O Lord
      Into my arms


      And I don't believe in the existence of angels
      But looking at you I wonder if that's true
      But if I did I would summon them together
      And ask them to watch over you
      To each burn a candle for you
      To make bright and clear your path
      And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
      And guide you into my arms


      Into my arms, O Lord
      Into my arms, O Lord
      Into my arms, O Lord
      Into my arms


      But I believe in Love
      And I know that you do too
      And I believe in some kind of path
      That we can walk down, me and you
      So keep your candles burning
      And make her journey bright and pure
      That she will keep returning
      Always and evermore

      Into my arms, O Lord
      Into my arms, O Lord
      Into my arms, O Lord
      Into my arms

        Come sail your ships around me
        And burn your bridges down.
        We make a little history baby
        Every time you come around.
        Come loose your dogs upon me
        And let your hair hang down.
        You are a little mystery to me
        Every time you come around.

        We talk about it all night long
        We define our moral ground.
        But when I crawl into your arms
        Everything comes tumbling down.

        Come sail your ships around me
        And burn your bridges down.
        We make a little history baby
        Every time you come around.

        Your face has fallen sad now
        For you know the time is nigh
        When I must remove your wings
        And you, you must try to fly.

        Come sail your ships around me
        And burn your bridges down.
        We make a little history baby
        Every time you come around.
        Come loose your dogs upon me
        And let your hair hang down.
        You are a little mystery to me
        Every time you come around.

          Shooting Star - Bob Dylan

          Seen a shooting star tonight
          And I thought of you
          You were trying to break into another world
          A world I never knew
          I always kind of wondered
          If you ever made it through
          Seen a shooting star tonight
          And I thought of you

          Seen a shooting star tonight
          And I thought of me
          If I was still the same
          If I ever became what you wanted me to be
          Did I miss the mark or overstep the line
          That only you could see?
          Seen a shooting star tonight
          And I thought of me

          Listen to the engine, listen to the bell
          As the last fire truck from hell
          Goes rolling by
          All good people are praying
          It’s the last temptation, the last account
          The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount
          The last radio is playing

          Seen a shooting star tonight
          Slip away
          Tomorrow will be
          Another day
          Guess it’s too late to say the things to you
          That you needed to hear me say
          Seen a shooting star tonight
          Slip away

            Bob Dylan is a genius of wring song. I like the lyrics very much and the video too.
            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`````
            All Along The Watchtower


            “There must be some way out of here,” said the joker to the thief
            “There’s too much confusion, I can’t get no relief
            Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth
            None of them along the line know what any of it is worth”

            “No reason to get excited,” the thief, he kindly spoke
            “There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke
            But you and I, we’ve been through that, and this is not our fate
            So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late”

            All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
            While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too

            Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl
            Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl

      Dimming Of The Day
      - Richard & Linda Thompson

      This old house is falling down around my ears
      I'm drowning in a river of my tears
      When all my will is gone you hold me sway
      I need you at the dimming of the day

      You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide
      You know just where I keep my better side

      What days have come to keep us far apart
      A broken promise or a broken heart
      Now all the bonnie birds have wheeled away
      I need you at the dimming of the day

      Come the night you're only what I want
      Come the night you could be my confident

      I see you on the street in company
      Why don't you come and ease your mind with me

      I need you at the dimming of the day

        Heart Like A Wheel
        - Kate and Anna McGarrigle

        Some say the heart is just like a wheel
        When you bend it you can't mend it
        And my love for you is like a sinking ship
        My heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean

        They say that death is a tragedy
        It comes once and then it's over
        But my one only wish is for that deep dark abyss
        For what's the use of living with no true lover

        And it's only love and it's only love
        That can break a human being
        and turn him inside out
        That can break a human being
        and turn him inside out

        When harm is done no love can be won
        I know it happens frequently
        What I can't understand please
        God hold my hand
        Is why it should have happened to me

        And it's only love and it's only love
        That can break a human being
        and turn him inside out
        That can break a human being
        and turn him inside out

        Some say the heart is just like a wheel
        When you bend it you can't mend it
        And my love for you is like a sinking ship
        My heart is on that ship out on mid-ocean
        And it's only love and it's only love
        And it's only love it is only love
        And it's only love it is only love
        And it's only love it is only love

          The Loving Time
          - Mary Black

          It reads like a fairytale
          And that's what it was
          Young man in his prime
          Young girl from the cross
          The most perfect of strangers
          And then the night closed in
          And the holy ground took care of everything
          Now she was a fine one
          And he was a handsome man
          One look was enough
          And away they ran
          They spent many happy hours
          And then the night closed in
          And the holy ground took care of everything
          Oh what's the use in complaining
          In for a penny in for a pound
          I remember the loving time
          And nothing else really counts
          And I recall the promise they made
          With a faith I can but admire
          That she'd be the one he adored
          And he'd be her heart's desire
          It didn't come true in the end
          They went their separate ways
          He couldn't change what he was
          She wasn't ready to wait
          They couldn't live in the daylight
          They let the night close in
          And the holy ground took care of everything
          I remember the loving time
          And nothing else really counts

      I travelled to a city in IOWA last week where is so close to the Bridges of Madison County, and I thought of this song

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~````````

      Tom Waits - Day After Tomorrow


      I got your letter today
      And I miss you all so much, here
      I can't wait to see you all
      And I'm counting the days, dear
      I still believe that there's gold
      At the end of the world
      And I'll come home
      To Illinois
      On the day after tomorrow

      It is so hard
      And it's cold here
      And I'm tired of taking orders
      And I miss old Rockford town
      Up by the Wisconsin border
      But I miss you won't believe
      Shoveling snow and raking leaves
      And my plane will touch tomorrow
      On the day after tomorrow

      I close my eyes
      Every night
      And I dream that I can hold you
      They fill us full of lies
      Everyone buys
      About what it means to be a soldier
      I still don't know how I'm supposed to feel
      About all the blood that's been spilled
      Look out on the street
      Get me back home
      On the day after tomorrow

      You can't deny
      The other side
      Don't want to die
      Any more than we do
      What I'm trying to say,
      Is don't they pray
      To the same God that we do?
      Tell me, how does God choose?
      Whose prayers does he refuse?
      Who turns the wheel?
      And who throws the dice
      On the day after tomorrow?

      Mmmmmmm...
      I'm not fighting
      For justice
      I am not fighting
      For freedom
      I am fighting
      For my life
      And another day
      In the world here
      I just do what I've been told
      You're just the gravel on the road
      And the one's that are lucky
      One's come home
      On the day after tomorrow

      And the summer
      It too will fade
      And with it comes the winter's frost, dear
      And I know we too are made
      Of all the things that we have lost here
      I'll be twenty-one today
      I've been saving all my pay
      And my plane will touch down
      On the day after tomorrow
      And my plane it will touch down
      On the day after tomorrow

        Good Year For The Roses

        I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick
        On the cigarettes there in the ashtray
        Lyin' cold the way you left 'em,
        But at least your lips caressed them
        While you packed
        Or the lip-print on a half-filled cup of coffee
        That you poured and didn't drink
        But at least you thought you wanted it,
        Tat's so much more than I can say for me
        What a good year for the roses
        Many blooms still linger there
        The lawn could stand another mowin'
        Funny I don't even care
        As you turn to walk away
        As the door behind you closes
        The only thing I have to say
        It's been a good year for the roses

        After three full years of marriage,
        It's the first time that you haven't made the bed
        I guess the reason we're not talkin',
        Tere's so little left to say we haven't said
        While a million thoughts go racin' through my mind
        I find I haven't said a word
        From the bedroom the familiar sound
        Of a baby's cryin' goes unheard

        What a good year for the roses
        Many blooms still linger there
        The lawn could stand another mowin'
        Funny I don't even care
        As you turn to walk away
        As the door behind you closes
        The only thing I have to say
        It's been a good year for the roses

      Kris Kristofferson (bl) Burden of freedom

      I stand on the stairway, my back to the dungeon
      The doorway to freedom so close to my hand
      Voices behind me still bitterly damn me
      For seeking salvation they don’t understand

      Chorus:
      Lord, help me to shoulder the burden of freedom
      And give me the courage to be what I can
      And when I am wounded by those who condemn me
      Lord, help me forgive them, they don’t understand

      Their lonely frustration, descending to laughter

      Erases the footprints I leave in the sand
      And I’m free to travel where no one can follow
      In search of the kingdom they don’t understand

      Chorus:

      Lord, help me to shoulder the burden of freedom
      And give me the courage to be what I can
      And when I have wounded the last one who loved me
      God, help her forgive me, I don’t understand

        Kris Kristofferson Under the gun

        Break a man, break a promise
        Break a heart, break a home
        Take a long hard look at a heaven
        Gone to hell under the gun

        See the child, young and hungry
        Growing wild, on the run
        And he'll die reaching for freedom
        He was born under the gun

        Swollen men, blind with power
        Break the rules, one by one
        With their lies raising the danger
        Of their games under the gun.

        No more time, no more chances
        No more wars will be won
        In the end only the losers
        Hold the land under the gun

        Hold the truth like a candle
        Let it shine like the sun
        On the love that's left to believe in
        In a world under the gun.

      And So It Goes

      In every heart there is a room
      A sanctuary safe and strong
      To heal the wounds from lovers past
      Until a new one comes along

      I spoke to you in cautious tones
      You answered me with no pretense
      And still I feel I said too much
      My silence is my self defense

      And every time I've held a rose
      It seems I only felt the thorns
      And so it goes, and so it goes
      And so will you soon I suppose

      But if my silence made you leave
      Then that would be my worst mistake
      So I will share this room with you
      And you can have this heart to break

      And this is why my eyes are closed
      It's just as well for all I've seen
      And so it goes, and so it goes
      And you're the only one who knows

      So I would choose to be with you
      That's if the choice were mine to make
      But you can make decisions too
      And you can have this heart to break

      And so it goes, and so it goes
      And you're the only one who knows

        Lullabye (Goodnight My Angel)

        Goodnight, my angel
        Time to close your eyes
        And save these questions for another day
        I think I know what you've been asking me
        I think you know what I've been trying to say
        I promised I would never leave you
        And you should always know
        Wherever you may go
        No matter where you are
        I never will be far away

        Goodnight, my angel
        Now it's time to sleep
        And still so many things I want to say
        Remember all the songs you sang for me
        When we went sailing on an emerald bay
        And like a boat out on the ocean
        I'm rocking you to sleep
        The water's dark and deep
        Inside this ancient heart
        You'll always be a part of me

        Lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu
        lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu

        Goodnight, my angel
        Now it's time to dream
        And dream how wonderful your life will be
        Someday your child may cry
        And if you sing this lullabye
        Then in your heart
        There will always be a part of me

        Someday we'll all be gone
        But lullabyes go on and on...
        They never die
        That's how you
        And I
        Will be

      Somewhere Somebody
      - By Jennifer Warnes

      Must be a million boys living in this great big city
      I know that one of them is just right for me
      I've looked uptown, downtown, all around searchin'
      I know he's out there waiting for me

      I know somewhere, somebody, lookin', longin'
      Somewhere, somebody, waitin' for me
      Somewhere, somebody, searchin', prayin'
      Tell me where in the world

      You know the street lights shine in passin' faces
      I'm just tryin' to catch somebody's eye
      But all the shoulda been's, the woulda been's, the mighta been's and the coulda
      been's
      Slippin' away and just walk right on by

      Somewhere, somebody, lookin', longin'
      Somewhere, somebody, waitin' for me
      Somewhere, somebody, searchin', prayin'
      Tell me where in the world

      I walk in the rain that's fallin'
      A voice in the distance callin', why
      I run to the empty doorway waitin' for the sun to shine
      When will love be mine

      I know that somewhere, somebody, lookin', longin'
      Somewhere, somebody, waitin' for me
      Somewhere, somebody, searchin', prayin'
      Tell me where in the world

      Must be a million boys living in this great big city
      I know you're out there waiting for me

        - By Jennifer Warnes

        (L. Cohen)

        It's four in the morning, the end of December
        I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
        New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
        There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.

        I hear that you're building your house deep in the desert
        Are you living for nothing now, hope you're keeping some kind of record.

        Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
        She said that you gave it to her
        That night when you planned to go clear
        Did you ever go clear?

        Ah, the last time we saw you, you looked so much older
        Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
        You'd been to the station to meet every train
        But she never turned up I'm Lili Marlene

        And you treated some woman to a flake of your life
        And when she got home she was nobody's wife.
        Well I see you there with a rose in your teeth
        One more thin gypsy thief
        Well I see Jane's awake
        She sends her regards.

        And what can I tell you oh what can I tell you
        What can I possibly say?
        I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
        I'm glad that you stood in my way.

        And if you ever come by here, be it for Jane or for me
        I want you to know your enemy's sleeping, I want you to know your woman is free.

        Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
        I thought it was there for good so I never really tried.

        And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
        She said that you gave it to her
        That night when you planned to go clear

        Sincerely, a friend

      That's all I've ever been.
      Cause you don't know me.
      (no you don't know me)

      Yesterday when I was on the way back home, a guy played this song in the subway and this made me stop and listened to it till the end.
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~````
      Carry On Till Tomorrow - Badfinger

      In younger days, I told myself my life would be my own

      And I'd leave the place where sunshine never shone

      For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun

      Then I know again that I must carry on

      Carry on till tomorow, there's no reason to look back

      Carry on, carry on, carry on

      Beyond the shadows of the clouds and onward to the sky

      Carry on till I find the rainbow's end

      For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun

      Then I know again that I must carry on

      Carry on till tomorow, there's no reason to look back

      Carry on, carry on, carry on

      Drifting on the wings of freedom, leave this stormy day

      And we'll ride to tomorrow's golden fields

      For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun

      Then I know again that I must carry on

      Carry on till tomorow, there's no reason to look back

      Carry on, carry on, carry on

      And when the heavy journey's done, I'll rest my weary head

      For the world and it's colours will be mine

      For my life's too short for waiting when I see the setting sun

      Then I know again that I must carry on

      Carry on till tomorow, there's no reason to look back

      Carry on, carry on, carry on

        Now the day is over--Sissel

        1. Now the day is over,
        Night is drawing nigh;
        Shadows of the evening
        Steal across the sky.

        2. Now the darkness gathers,
        Stars begin to peep,
        Birds and beasts and flowers
        Soon will be asleep.

        3. Jesus, give the weary
        Calm and sweet repose;
        With Thy tend'rest blessing
        May mine eyelids close.

        4. Grant to little children
        Visions bright of Thee;
        Guard the sailors tossing
        On the deep-blue sea.

        5. Comfort every sufferer
        Watching late in pain;
        Those who plan some evil
        From their sin restrain.

        6. Through the long night-watches
        May Thine angels spread
        Their white wings above me,
        Watching round my bed.

        7. When the morning wakens,
        Then may I arise
        Pure and fresh and sinless
        In Thy holy eyes.

        8. Glory to the Father,
        Glory to the Son,
        And to Thee, blest Spirit,
        While all ages run.

          Bright As Yellow - The Innocence Mission

          And you live your life with your arms stretched out.
          Eye to eye when speaking.
          Enter rooms with great joy shouts,
          happy to be meeting.

          And bright,
          bright,
          bright as yellow,
          warm as yellow.

          And I do not want to be a rose.
          I do not wish to be pale pink,
          but flower scarlet, flower gold.
          And have no thorns to distance me,

          but be bright,
          bright,
          bright as yellow,
          warm as yellow.

          Even if I'm shouting, even if I'm shouting here
          inside.
          Even if I'm shouting, do you see that I'm wanting,
          that I want to be so
          bright,
          bright,
          bright as yellow,
          warm as yellow.

        This woman's world.
        Ooh, it's hard on the man,
        Now his part is over.
        Now starts the craft of the father.

        I know you have a little life in you yet.
        I know you have a lot of strength left.
        I know you have a little life in you yet.
        I know you have a lot of strength left.

        I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.

        Of all the things I should've said,
        That I never said.
        All the things we should've done,
        That we never did.
        All the things I should've given,
        But I didn't.

        Oh, darling, make it go,
        Make it go away.

        Give me these moments back.
        Give them back to me.
        Give me that little kiss.
        Give me your hand.

      Fleet Foxes - Drops In The River live In The Basement

      Crown of leaves, high in the window on a cold morning
      Young today, old as a railroad tomorrow
      Days are just drops in the river to be lost always
      Only you, only you, you know

      Years ago, birds of a feather would arrive nightly
      Gone you know, held to another like clutched ivy
      On the shore, speak to the ocean and receive silence
      Only you, only you, you know

      Here as the caves of my memory fade, I'll hold to the first one
      I wouldn't turn to another you say, on the long night we've made
      Let it go

      Only you, only you, you know
      Only you, only you, you know

      Here as the caves of my memory fade, I'll hold to the first one
      I wouldn't turn to another you say, on the long night we've made
      Let it go

      Speak to me slow my dear
      No ghost of course in here
      Pleased to be lonesome quiet and clear
      All is alone in here

          Van Morrison - Got To Go Back

          When I was a young boy
          Back in Orangefield
          I used to gaze out
          My classroom window and dream
          And then go home and listen to Ray sing
          "I believed in my soul" after school,
          Oh that love that was within me
          You know it carried me through
          Well it lifted me up and it filled me
          Meditation contemplation too

          Chorus:
          Oh we've got to go back
          Got to go back
          Got to go back
          Got to go back
          For the healing go on with the dreaming

          Well there's people in the street
          And the summer's almost here
          We've got to go outside in the fresh air
          And breathe while it's still clear
          Breathe it in all the way down
          To your stomach too
          And breathe it out with a radiance
          into the nightime air


          We've got to go back
          Got to go back
          Got to go back
          Got to go back
          For the healing go on with the dreaming

          Got my ticket at the airport
          Well I guess I've been marking time
          I've been living in another country
          That operates along entirely different lines
          Keep me away from porter or whiskey
          Don't play anything sentimental it'll make me cry
          I've got to go back my friend
          Is there really any need to ask why

            These are the days, the time is now
            There is no past, there's only future
            There's only here, there's only now

            Oh your smiling face, your gracious presence
            The fires of spring are kindling bright
            Oh the radiant heart and the song of glory
            Crying freedom in the night

            These are the days by the sparkling river
            His timely grace and our treasured find
            This is the love of the one magician
            Turned the water into wine

            These are the days of the endless dancing and the
            Long walks on the summer night
            These are the days of the true romancing
            When I'm holding you oh, so tight

            These are the days by the sparkling river
            His timely grace and our treasured find
            This is the love of the one great magician
            Turned the water into wine

            These are the days now that we must savor
            And we must enjoy as we can
            These are the days that will last forever
            You've got to hold them in your heart.

      It's daybreak, and you are asleep
      I can hear you breathe now
      Your breath is deep

      But before I go
      I look at you one last time
      I can hear a heartbeat
      Is it yours or is it mine

      I look at your lips
      I know how soft they can be
      Did they know what they wanted
      The times they kissed me

      And your hands
      I held in mine
      Now they're reposing on the pillow
      Will they ever miss me sometime?

      I'll remember you
      You will be there in my heart
      I'll remember you
      But that's all that I can do
      But i'll remember

      Your eyes
      That always make me shiver
      Now they are closed
      They do sometimes twitch a little

      And your body
      I could own for an hour
      It sent me to heaven
      With it's heat and power

      I'll remember you

        And left with the worst of lies

        If everyone just dies

        I have gone back dreaming
        So you must wake me in a while

          Here babe
          Are the notes you must play
          This babe, is the procedure
          Here babe
          Not in another way
          I can assure you
          That you will be okey
          Once would do
          Once could change everything
          Once could tell
          And help me clear out
          Some things
          Once would make
          No difference at all
          Once or not
          I've already made this fall
          Hey you
          Make the most of the time
          You've got to cross many borders
          If you can't control your mind
          Something will happen
          It's just a question of time
          Oh babe
          I can not concentrate
          I'm here for the wrong reson
          It's you who makes my knees shake
          One season, then
          The brakes're gonna break

      Listen to the wind blow, watch the sun rise

      Run in the shadows
      Damn your love, damn your lies

      And if you don't love me now
      You will never love me again
      I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain
      And if you don't love me now
      You will never love me again
      I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain

      Listen to the wind blow, down comes the night

      Run in the shadows
      Damn your love, damn your lies

      Break the silence
      Damn the dark, damn the light

      And if you don't love me now
      You will never love me again
      I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain
      And if you don't love me now
      You will never love me again
      I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain
      And if you don't love me now
      You will never love me again
      I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain

      Chain...keeps us together
      (run into the shadows)
      Chain...keeps us together
      (run into the shadows)

        hello in there
        - john prine

        We had an apartment in the city,
        Me and Loretta liked living there.
        Well, it'd been years since the kids had grown,
        A life of their own left us alone.
        John and Linda live in Omaha,
        And Joe is somewhere on the road.
        We lost Davy in the Korean war,
        And I still don't know what for, don't matter anymore.

        Chorus:
        Ya' know that old trees just grow stronger,
        And old rivers grow wilder ev'ry day.
        Old people just grow lonesome
        Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello."

        Me and Loretta, we don't talk much more,
        She sits and stares through the back door screen.
        And all the news just repeats itself
        Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen.
        Someday I'll go and call up Rudy,
        We worked together at the factory.
        But what could I say if asks "What's new?"
        "Nothing, what's with you? Nothing much to do."

        Repeat Chorus:

        So if you're walking down the street sometime
        And spot some hollow ancient eyes,
        Please don't just pass 'em by and stare
        As if you didn't care, say, "Hello in there, hello."

      Tom Waits - Shiver me timbers

      I'm leavin' my family
      Leavin' all my friends
      My body's at home
      But my heart's in the wind
      Where the clouds are like headlines
      On a new front page sky
      My tears are salt water
      And the moon's full and high

      And I know Martin Eden's
      Gonna be proud of me
      And many before me
      Who've been called by the sea
      To be up in the crow's nest
      Singin' my say
      Shiver me Timbers
      'Cause I'm a-sailin' away

      And the fog's liftin'
      And the sand's shiftin'
      I'm driftin' on out
      Ol' Captain Ahab
      He ain't got nothin' on me, now.
      So swallow me, don't follow me
      I'm trav'lin' alone
      Blue water's my daughter
      'n I'm gonna skip like a stone

      So please call my missus
      Gotta tell her not to cry
      'Cause my goodbye is written
      By the moon in the sky
      Hey and nobody knows me
      I can't fathom my stayin'
      Shiver me timbers
      'Cause I'm a-sailin' away

      And the fog's liftin'
      And the sand's shiftin'
      I'm driftin' on out
      Ol' Captain Ahab
      He ain't got nothin' on me
      So come and swallow me, follow me
      I'm trav'lin' alone
      Blue water's my daughter
      'n I'm gonna skip like a stone

      And I'm leavin' my family
      Leavin' all my friends
      My body's at home
      But my heart's in the wind
      Where the clouds are like headlines
      Upon a new front page sky
      And shiver me timbers

        I never saw the morning 'til I stayed up all night
        I never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out the light
        I never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long
        I never heard the melody, until I needed a song.

        I never saw the white line, 'til I was leaving you behind
        I never knew I needed you 'til I was caught up in a bind
        I never spoke 'I love you' 'til I cursed you in vain,
        I never felt my heartstrings until I nearly went insane.

        I never saw the east coast 'til I move to the west
        I never saw the moonlight until it shone off your breast
        I never saw your heart 'til someone tried to steal, tried to steal it away
        I never saw your tears until they rolled down your face.

        Krist Kristofferson - This Old Road

        Look at that old photograph
        Is it really you
        Smiling like a baby full of dreams
        Smiling ain't so easy now
        Some are coming true
        Nothing's simple as it seems

        But I guess you count your blessings with the problems
        That you're dealing with today
        Like the changing of the seasons
        Ain't you come a long way (Ain't you come a long way)
        Ain't you come a long way down
        This old road

        Looking at a looking glass
        Running out of time
        On a face you used to know
        Traces of a future lost
        In between the lines
        One more rainbow for the road

        Thinking of the faces in the windows
        That you passed along the way
        Or the last thing you believed in
        Ain't you come long way (Ain't you come a long way)
        Ain't you come a long way down
        This old road

        **

        Say you tried to chase the sun down
        And you let it slip away
        And the holy night is falling
        Ain't you come long way (Ain't you come a long way)
        Ain't you come a long way down
        This old road

        Look at that old photograph

          Highwayman

          Performed by: Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash & Kris

          [Nelson:]
          I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride.
          With sword and pistol by my side.
          Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade.
          Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade.
          The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five.
          But I am still alive.

          [Kristofferson:]
          I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide.
          And with the sea I did abide.
          I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico.
          I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow.
          And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed.
          But I am living still.

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

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

      This kind of song is so very manly and extremly melancholic, being a musician has to drive around, this is his career and his living. Totally feeling that, sadly. -- To all roadies

      The falsetto voice and high part at the end are awesome too.
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`````
      Jackson Browne - The Load Out / Stay

      Now the seats are all empty
      Let the roadies take the stage
      Pack it up and tear it down
      They're the first to come and the last to leave
      Working for that minimum wage
      They'll set it up in another town
      Tonight the people were so fine
      They waited there in line
      And when they got up on their feet,
      They made the show, and that was sweet,
      But I can hear the sound of slamming doors and folding chairs
      and that's a sound they'll never know

      Now roll them cases and lift them amps
      and haul them truses up and get'um up them ramps
      'Cause when it comes to moving me,
      you know you guys are the champs
      but when that last guitar's been packed away,
      you know that I still want to play.
      So just make sure you got it all set to go
      before you come for my piano

      But the band's on the bus,
      and they're waiting to go.
      We gotta drive all night
      And do the show in Chicago... or Detroit.
      I don't know, we do so many shows in a row.
      And these towns all look the same.
      we just pass the time in the hotel rooms
      and wander around backstage.
      Till those lights come up, and we hear that crowd,
      and we remember why we came.

      Now we got country and western on the bus,
      R & B, we got disco in 8-tracks and casettes in stereo
      We've got rural scenes and magazines
      And we've got truckers on CB
      We got Richard Pryor on the video
      We've got time to think of the ones we love
      While the miles roll away
      but the only time that seems too short is the time that we get to play
      People you've got the power over what we do
      You can sit there and wait
      or you can pull us through.
      Come along, sing this song
      You know that you can't go wrong
      'Cause when that mornin' sun comes beating down
      you're gonna wake up in your town
      But we'll be scheduled to appear
      a thousand miles away from here

      People stay just a little bit longer
      We want to play -- just a little bit longer
      Now the promoter don't mind
      And the union don't mind
      If we take a little time
      And we leave it all behind and sing
      One more song
      Oh won’t you stay just a little bit longer
      Please, please, please say you will
      Say you will

      Oh won’t you stay just a little bit longer
      Oh please, please stay just a little bit more

      Now the promoter don’t mind
      And the roadies don’t mind
      If we take a little time
      And we leave this all behind and sing
      One more song

      Souvenirs - Dan Fogelberg

      Here is a poem that my lady sent down
      Some morning while I was away
      Wrote on the back of a leaf that she found
      Somewhere around Monterey

      And here is the key to a house far away
      Where I used to live as a child
      They tore down the building when I moved away
      And left the key unreconciled

      (Chorus)

      And down in the canyon the smoke starts to rise
      It rides on the wind 'til it reaches your eyes
      When faced with the past the strongest man cries...cries

      (Repeat Chorus)

      And here is a sunrise to set on your sill
      The ghosts of the dawn moving near
      They pass through your sorrow and leave you quite still...
      Sitting among souvenirs

        Dan Fogelberg ~ Be On Your Way

        Be on your way
        Don't try to say that you love me still
        If we couldn't find the right dream by now then we never will
        We paid our dues at the door and never once saw the stage
        We wrote our share of love's lore and never quite filled the page
        So be on your way

        Be on your way
        Maybe someday we will meet again
        Try not to cry...tears make me think how it might have been
        We loved as strong as we could but love only got in our way
        We took our time to be free
        There's nothing much more to say but be on your way

      I'll sing it one last time for you
      Then we really have to go
      You've been the only thing that's right
      In all I've done

      And I can barely look at you
      But every single time I do
      I know we'll make it anywhere
      Away from here

      Light up, light up
      As if you have a choice
      Even if you cannot hear my voice
      I'll be right beside you dear

      Louder louder
      And we'll run for our lives
      I can hardly speak I understand
      Why you can't raise your voice to say

      To think I might not see those eyes
      Makes it so hard not to cry
      And as we say our long goodbye
      I nearly do

      Light up...

      Slower slower
      We don't have time for that
      All I want is to find an easier way
      To get out of our little heads

      Have heart my dear
      We're bound to be afraid
      Even if it's just for a few days
      Making up for all this mess

        If I don't say this now I will surely break
        As I'm leaving the one I want to take

        My heart has started to separate

        You're the only one who knows, you slow it down

        And I'll look after you

        If ever there was a doubt
        My love she leans into me
        This most assuredly counts
        She says most assuredly

        Oh, oh, oh
        Oh, oh, oh
        Be my baby
        I'll look after you, After you

        What's mine is yours to make your own

        Isaac Hayes - By The Time I Get To Phoenix

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

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

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

      Nobody knows my sorrow
      Nobody knows the trouble that I've seen
      Glory hallelujiah

      Nobody knows the trouble that I've seen
      Nobody knows my, my sorrow
      Nobody knows the trouble that I've seen
      Glory hall- glory hallelujiah

      Sometimes I'm up and sometimes I'm down
      Oh, yes lord
      You know sometimes almost to the ground
      Oh, oh yes lord

      Still, nobody knows the trouble that I've seen
      Nobody, nobody knows my, my sorrow
      Nobody knows the trouble that I've seen
      Glory hallelujiah

      If you get there before I do
      Oh, oh yes lord
      Don't forget to tell all my friends I'm comin' too
      Whoa, oh yes lord

      Still, nobody knows the trouble that I've seen
      Nobody knows my sorrow
      Nobody knows the trouble that I've seen
      Glory hall- hallelujiah

      Let time be the witness, I will come back soon
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``

      "Never Say Never"

      Some things we don't talk about
      Rather do without
      And just hold the smile
      Falling in and out of love
      Ashamed and proud of
      Together all the while

      You can never say never
      While we don't know when
      But time and time again
      Younger now than we were before

      Don't let me go
      Don't let me go
      Don't let me go
      [x2]

      Picture, you're the queen of everything
      As far as the eye can see
      Under your command
      I will be your guardian
      When all is crumbling
      To steady your hand

      You can never say never
      While we don't know when
      Time, time, time again
      Younger now than we were before

      Don't let me go
      Don't let me go
      Don't let me go
      [x2]

      We're pulling apart and coming together again and again
      We're growing apart but we pull it together, pull it together, together again

      Don't let me go
      Don't let me go
      Don't let me go
      [x4]

          Elvis Costello / Clem Snide - Beautiful

          Every day is so wonderful
          And suddenly, it's hard to breathe
          Now and then, I get insecure
          From all the pain, I'm so ashamed

          I am beautiful no matter what they say
          Words can't bring me down
          I am beautiful in every single way
          Yes, words can't bring me down
          So don't you bring me down today

          To all your friends, you're delirious
          So consumed in all your doom
          Trying hard to fill the emptiness
          The pieces gone, left the puzzle undone
          Is that the way it is?

          'Cause you are beautiful no matter what they say
          Words can't bring you down
          'Cause you are beautiful in every single way
          Yes, words can't bring you down
          So don't you bring me down today...

          No matter what we do
          No matter what we say
          We're the song inside the tune
          Full of beautiful mistakes

          And everywhere we go
          The sun will always shine
          But tomorrow we might awake
          On the other side

          We are beautiful no matter what they say
          Yes, words won't bring us down
          We are beautiful in every single way
          Yes, words can't bring us down
          So, don't you bring me down today

          Don't you bring me down today...

            Forever, now and then
            - Clem Snide

            I dreamt of an ocean blue
            Under water me and you
            Let's not swim to shore
            Just float forever more
            We could hide behind the sun
            Where no one will upset our fun
            Let's take off our shoes
            And dance away the blues
            Was your sweet kiss just a dream
            So real the taste of tangerine
            You are my best friend
            Forever, now and then
            Forever, now and then

      This song made me miss the rain of Seattle.

      Fred Neil / Amos Lee - A Little Bit Of Rain

      If I should leave you
      Try to remember the good times
      Warm days filled with sunshine
      Just a little bit of rain

      And if you look back
      Try to forget all the bad times
      Lonely blue and sad times
      Just a little bit of rain

      And if I look back
      I will remember all the good times
      Warm days filled with sunshine
      And just a little bit of rain

        Oh Laura - Raining in New York

        It's a little bit like sun when your smile is focused on me
        With stars in your eyes
        It reminds me of summers up north where the clear winds will blow
        Through the mountains with snow

        But it can all turn around as I know
        With the words you say
        before you go
        Nothing can change us from being ourselves
        And I'm left here in town with nothing as help

        It's raining in New York
        And I know what it feels like
        Cause I've walked 3rd Avenue
        With tears in my eyes
        It's raining in L.A.
        And I know what it feels like
        Cause I see those tears
        Come through when we try

        Sometimes your words make me happy or angry or sad
        It depends, how I feel
        If I feel strong there's a chance that I laugh at your notes
        That tells me you're gone

        But it can all turn around as I know
        With a change of weather, yes then I'll be low
        Anything done and said on my part
        Can keep us together or pull us apart

        It's raining in New York
        And I know what it feels like
        Cause I've walked 3rd Avenue
        With tears in my eyes
        It's raining in L.A.
        And I know what it feels like
        Cause I see those tears
        Come through when we try

        I know there is something between us, my love
        It's stronger than what we can break
        It'll keep us together forever, my love
        It's like we have nothing to say

        It's raining in New York
        And I know what it feels like
        Cause I've walked 3rd Avenue
        With tears in my eyes
        It's raining in L.A.

          Michelle Featherstone - Coffee & Cigarettes

          I gave up coffee and cigarettes
          I hate to say it hasn’t helped me yet
          I thought my problems would just dissipate
          And all my pain would be in yesterday

          I poured my booze all down the kitchen drain
          And watched my bad habits get flushed away
          I thought that that would keep my head on straight
          And all my pain would be in yesterday

          But it’s true
          I’m still blue
          But I finally know what to do
          I must quit, I must quit, you

          I thought that if I didn’t go and play
          The sadness would get bored and go away
          I thought that if I didn’t go astray
          That all my pain would be in yesterday

          But it’s true
          I’m still blue
          But I finally know what to do
          I must quit, I must quit, you

          I sold my guitar and my piano
          I thought that it was these that kept me low
          I thought if only I could try and change
          That all my pain would be in yesterday

          But it’s true
          I’m still blue
          But I finally know what to do
          I must quit, I must quit, you

          I must quit, I must quit, you

            Its been a long year
            Since we last spoke.
            How's your halo?
            Just between you and I
            You and me and the satellites

            I never believed you
            I only wanted to
            Before all of this
            What did I miss?

            Do you ever get homesick?
            I can't get used to it
            I can't get used to it
            I'll never get used to it
            I'll never get used to it

            I'm under that night
            I'm under those same stars
            We're in a red car
            You asleep at my side
            Going in and out of the headlights
            Could I have saved you?
            Would that 've betrayed you?
            I want to burn this film,
            you alone with those pills.

            what you couldn't do I will
            I forgive you.
            I'll forgive you
            I'll forgive you
            I'll forgive you

            For blue, blue skies

            I'll forgive you.
            For blue, blue skies

            I'll forgive you..

          this is not a thank you note
          this is just a few words that i wrote
          they were never meant for you to hear
          it's just that they kept ringing in my ear
          now you can read me like an open book
          read about the beatings that i took
          about happiness all shot to hell

          at the thunderbird motel
          well the bitter moon is hanging low
          neil diamond pours his heart out on the radio
          and nothing seams to go my way
          except sad songs and cheap chardonnay
          three days in the wilderness
          was all it took to make my life a mess

        You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC

        She was a fast machine
        She kept her motor clean
        She was the best damn woman that I ever seen
        She had the sightless eyes
        Tellin' me no lies
        Knockin' me out with those American thighs
        Takin' more than her share
        Had me fighting for air
        She told me to come but I was already there
        'Cause the walls start shaking
        The earth was quakin'
        My mind was achin'
        And we were makin' it and you -

        CHORUS:
        Shook me all night long
        Yeah you shook me all night long

        Workin' double time
        On the seduction line
        She was one of a kind, she's just mine all mine
        Wanted no applause
        Just another course
        Made a meal out of me, and come back for more
        Had to cool me down
        To take another round
        Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing
        'Cause the walls were shaking
        The earth was quakin'
        My mind was achin'
        And we were makin' it and you -

        CHORUS:
        Shook me all night long
        Yeah you shook me all night long
        Knocked me out and then you

        Tom Waits - Down There By The Train

        There's a place I know, where the train goes slow
        Where the sinner can be washed in the blood of the lamb
        There's a river by the trestle down by Sinner's Grove
        Down where the Willow and the Dogwood grow

        You can hear the whistle, you can hear the bell
        From the halls of heaven to the gates of hell
        And there's room for the foresaken if you're there on time
        You'll be washed of all your sins and all of your crimes

        If you're down there by the train
        Down there by the train
        Down there by the train
        Down there by the train
        Down there where the train
        goes slow

        There's a golden moon that shines up through the mist
        And I know that your name can be on that list
        There's no eye for an eye, there's no tooth for a tooth
        I saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth(1)

        He was down there by the train
        Down there by the train
        Down there by the train
        Down there by the train
        He was down there where the train
        goes slow

        If you've lost all your hope, if you've lost all your faith
        I know you can be cared for and I know you can be safe
        And all the shameful and all of the whores
        And even the soldier who pierced the heart of the lord

        Was down there by the train
        Down there by the train
        Down there by the train
        Down there by the train
        Down there where the train
        goes slow

        Well, I've never asked forgiveness and I've never said a prayer
        Never given of myself, never truly cared
        I've left the ones who loved me and I'm still raising Cain
        I'm taking the low road and if you've done the same

        Meet me down there by the train
        Down there by the train
        Down there by the train
        Down there by the train
        Down there where the train
        goes slow

        Meet me down there by the train
        Down there by the train
        Down there by the train
        Down there by the train
        Down there where the train

        • Notes: -buickregal(One-Way Highway); 2011-9-17 {8823} (#6923357@0)
          本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Notes:

          (1) I saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth:
          - Judas Iscariot: Judas Iscariot (died April AD 29-33) was, according to the Christian New Testament, one of the twelve original apostles of Jesus, and the one who betrayed him. According to the account given in the gospels, he carried the disciples' money box and betrayed Jesus for a bribe of "thirty pieces of silver" by identifying him with a kiss (the "kiss of Judas") to arresting soldiers of the High Priest Caiphas, who then turned Jesus over to Pontius Pilate's soldiers. Judas has been a figure of great interest to esoteric groups, such as many Gnostic sects, because of the apparent contradiction in the idea of "the betrayal of God". Judas is also the subject of many philosophical writings, discussing various problematic ideological contradictions: If Jesus foresees Judas' betrayal, then it may be argued that Judas has no free will, and cannot avoid betraying Jesus. If Judas cannot control his betrayal of Jesus, then he is not morally responsible for his actions. If Judas is sent to Hell for his betrayal, and his betrayal was a necessary step in the humanity-saving death of Jesus Christ, then Judas is being punished for saving humanity. If Jesus only suffered while dying on the cross, and then ascended into Heaven, while Judas must suffer for eternity in Hell, then Judas has suffered much more for the sins of humanity than Jesus. Does Jesus' plea, "Father forgive them, they know not what they do," (Luke 23:34) not apply to Judas? Most modern Christians, whether laity, clergy, or theologians, still consider Judas a traitor. Indeed the term Judas has entered many languages as a synonym for betrayer.
          - John Wilkes Booth: Assassin of US president Abraham Lincoln (Ford's Theatre, Washington D.C. April 14, 1865). After the assassination Booth escaped from Washington, D.C. and was on the run for 12 days. He and David E. Herold, a coconspirator, were sleeping in a tobacco barn on the morning of Wednesday, April 26, 1865, when Union cavalry finally caught up with them. The soldiers surrounded the barn which was located about 60 miles south of Ford's Theatre near Port Royal, Virginia. Herold gave up but Booth refused. The barn was set on fire, and Booth was shot by one Boston Corbett.

          (2) Down There By The Train: (Bone Machine outtake)
          - Jim Jarmusch (1993): Man, you have so many songs. There are other songs you played for me that aren't on 'Bone Machine', like "Filipino Box Spring Hog". TW: Yeah, and "Tell It to Me", and "Mexican Song", "In the Reeperbahn", one called "Shall We Die Tonight", a suicide pact ballad, and then a couple for John Hammond at the same time, one called "Down There By the Train". JJ: Did he record it? TW: No, nobody did. And we couldn't find a way to do it either that felt good, so we just left it, and it's just sitting there. (Source: "Straight No Chaser" Straight No Chaser magazine (UK), by Jim Jarmusch. Date: October, 1992 (published early 1993)
          - Terry Gross (2002): ... Johnny Cash... recorded your song "Down There By The Train". TW: Yeah right that killed me! That was, that was, that was wild. I was like "That's it, I'm all done now. Johnny Cash did a song... all done, thanks very much." That was really flattering you know. Lovely he did it too. TG: Oh yeah. Do you know how he knew the song or why he decided to record it? TW: Well a lot of people sent in tunes when he was doing this record with Rick Rubin. And eh different people that eh... you know, different songwriters sending in tunes and then he just picked them. I didn't know if he was doing it or not. I figured, well I hadn't done it. I don't know why I hadn't done it, I don't remember. And so eh... I didn't really know until the record came out. I said: "Wow that's great!" When someone is doing a tune, especially someone that you have been listening to since you were a kid, it's a bit of a validation... TG: Oh yeah... TW: ... and it's meaningful. TG: Johnny Cash is pretty validating when it comes to that. (laughs) TW: Yeah alright!... TG: So did you meet Johnny Cash? TW: No, I have not met Johnny Cash. I look forward to that day down the road. I would love to meet him. (Source: "Fresh Air interview with Tom Waits", Fresh Air with Terry Gross, produced in Philadelphia by WHYY. Radio show as archived on Fresh Air website. May 21, 2002)
          - Tom Waits (2006): "On Orphans there is a mambo about a convict who breaks out of jail with a fishbone, a gospel train song about Charlie Whitman and John Wilkes Boothe, a delta blues about a disturbing neighbor, a spoken word piece about a woman who was struck by lightening, an 18th century Scottish madrigal about murderous sibling rivalry, an American backwoods a cappella about a hanging. Even a song by Jack Kerouac and a spiritual with my own personal petition to the Lord with prayer... There's even a show tune about an old altar boy and a rockabilly song about a young man who's begging to be lied to." (Source: Anti Records Orphans promo pack. August 2006)
          - Tom Waits (2006); "I had a song covered by Johnny Cash, that was like a huge uh... thrill for me, you know? He would change some of it and I thought: "Oh, boy! Well I guess he must have thought it needed some changing!" "I should have talked to him before I finished! Probably could have helped me!" (Source: "Tom Waits: Rock Classics, With A Gravelly Rasp", NPR's World Café from WXPN (USA) by David Dye. December 15, 2006)
          - Tom Waits (2007): "I had a friend who was playing guitar with him (Johnny Cash) at the time, [guitarist] Smokey Hormel. Smokey said, "Yeah, Johnny's going to be doing other people's tunes. Send us down something." But the version on [Orphans] isn't the original demo I sent. I did my version with Larry Taylor at Prairie Sun or Sputnik Sound, or one of those places." (Source: "A Conversation With Tom Waits", by Bob Mehr. Memphis Commercial Appeal. January 21, 2007)

          (3) And Charlie Witman is on the Dillinger's wings:
          - Charles Whitman: Charles Joseph Whitman (June 24, 1941 - August 1, 1966) is known for ascending The University of Texas at Austin's 27-story tower on August 1, 1966, and shooting passersby in the city and on the campus below, after having killed his mother and his wife the night before. In all Whitman killed 15 people and wounded 31 others before he was shot dead by Austin police. At autopsy Whitman was found to have suffered from a brain tumor affecting the limbic system. Whitman left a suicide note, a portion of which read: "I don't quite understand what it is that compels me to type this letter. Perhaps it is to leave some vague reason for the actions I have recently performed. I don't really understand myself these days. I am supposed to be an average reasonable and intelligent young man. However, lately (I can't recall when it started) I have been a victim of many unusual and irrational thoughts." The note explained that he had decided to murder both his mother and wife, but made no mention of the coming attacks at the University. He also requested that an autopsy be done after his death, to determine if there were anything to explain his actions and increasing headaches. He willed any money from his estate to be donated to mental health research, saying he hoped it would prevent others from following his route.
          - MB (2006): Down There By The Train pursues that theme of redemption. What's the history of that song? TW: How many years ago, I don't know, Johnny Cash did a version of it, when he was doing the first of those American Recordings with Rick Rubin. I don't know who asked me; somebody said, "You got any songs for Johnny Cash?" I just about fell off my chair. I had a song and I hadn't recorded it. So I said, "Hey - it's got all the stuff that Johnny likes - trains and death, John Wilkes Booth, the cross... OK!" MB: It's such a wonderful song, the idea that even the worst sinners will be saved. "Charlie Whitman is holding on to Dillinger's wings, they're both down there by the train..." TW: Yeah, yeah, available to all. Charles Whitman -- he's the one that went up a tower in Texas and shot all those people. He was probably bipolar." (Source: "My Wild Years And The Woman That Saved My Life", Word magazine (UK), November 9, 2006. By Mick Brown)
          - John Dillinger: John Herbert Dillinger (June 22, 1903 - July 22, 1934) was an American bank robber, considered by some to be a dangerous criminal, while others idealized him as a latter-day Robin Hood. He gained this reputation (and the nickname "Jackrabbit") for his graceful movements during bank heists, e.g. leaping over the counter (a movement he supposedly copied from watching it in a movie), and narrow getaways from police.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

          Will you find someone else, while I'm away?
          There's nothing for me, in this world full of strangers

          I don't belong here, and you can't go with me
          You'll only slow me down

          Until I send for you, don't wear your hair that way
          If you cannot be true, I'll understand
          Tell all the others, you'll hold in your arms
          That I said I'd come back for you
          I'll leave my jacket to keep you warm

      And so Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by
      Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger

      Take me to the place where you go
      Where nobody knows, if it's night or day.
      Please don't put your life in the hands
      Of a Rock 'n Roll band
      and throw it all away

      Gonna start the revolution from my bed
      'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
      Step outside the summertime's in bloom
      Stand up beside the fireplace
      Take that look from off your face
      You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

      And So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by.
      her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger

        Tell them not to fear no more
        Say it loud and sing it proud today...

        And then dance if you want to dance
        Please brother take a chance
        You know they're gonna go
        Which way they wanna go
        All we know is that we don't know
        How it's gonna be
        Please brother let it be
        Life on the other hand won't make us understand
        We're all part of the masterplan

        Say it loud and sing it proud today...
        I'm not saying right is wrong
        It's up to us to make
        The best of all the things that come our way
        Coz everything that's been has past
        The answer's in the looking glass
        There's four and twenty million doors
        On life's endless corridor
        Say it loud and sing it proud today

        We'll dance if they want to dance
        Please brother take a chance
        You know they're gonna go
        Which way they wanna go
        All we know is that we don't know

      Muse - Time Is Running Out

      I think I'm drowning;
      Asphyxiated,
      I wanna break this spell
      That you've created.

      You're something beautiful;
      A contradiction,
      I wanna play the game,
      I want the friction.

      You will be the death of me,
      Yeah, you will be the death of me.

      Bury it, I won't let you bury it,
      I won't let you smother it,
      I won't let you murder it.

      And our time is running out,
      And our time is running out,
      You can't push it underground,
      You can't stop it screaming out.

      I wanted freedom;
      Bound and restricted,
      I tried to give you up
      But I'm addicted.
      Now that you know I'm trapped;
      Sense of elation,
      You'd never dream of
      Breaking this fixation.

      You will squeeze the life out of me.

      Bury it, I won't let you bury it,
      I won't let you smother it,
      I won't let you murder it.

      And our time is running out,
      And our time is running out,
      You can't push it underground,
      You can't stop it screaming out.

      How did it come to this,
      Ooohhh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah,
      Ooohhh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah,
      Ooohhh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahhhhhh,

      Yeah you, will suck the life out of me.

      Bury it, I won't let you bury it,
      I won't let you smother it,
      I won't let you murder it,

      And our time is running out,
      And our time is running out,
      You can't push it underground,

        It's a lesson too late for the learnin',
        Made of sand, made of sand.
        In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'
        In your hand, in your hand.
        Chorus:
        Are you goin' away with no word of farewell?
        Will there be not a trace left behind?
        I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind;
        Oh, you know that was the last thing on my mind.
        You had reasons a-plenty for goin',
        This I know, this I know.
        And the weeds have been steadily growin',
        Please don't go, please don't go.
        (Chorus)
        As I lie in my bed in the mornin',
        Without you, without you,
        Every song in my heart dies of mournin'
        Without you, without you.

        Oh, you know that was the last thing on my mind.

        Roseville Fair - Liam Clancy

        O the night was clear and the stars were shining
        And the moon came up, so quiet in the sky
        And the people gathered 'round and the band was a-tuning
        I can hear them now playin "Comin' thru the Rye"

        You were dressed in blue and you looked so lovely
        Just a gentle flower of a small town girl
        You took my hand and we stepped to the music
        And with a single smile you became my world. Chorus

        And we danced all night to the fiddle and the banjo
        Their drifting tunes seemed to fill the air
        So long ago, but I still remember
        When we fell in love at the Roseville Fair.

        Now we courted well and we courted dearly
        And we'd rock for hours in the front porch chair
        Then a year went by from the time that I met you
        And I made you mine at the Roseville Fair. Chorus

        So here's a song for all the lovers
        And here's a tune that they can share
        May they dance all night to the fiddle and the banjo
        The way we did at the Roseville Fair.

        Last night I had the strangest dream
        I ever dreamed before
        I dreamed the world had all agreed
        To put an end to war
        I dreamed I saw a mighty room
        The room was filled with men
        And the paper they were signing said
        They'd never fight again

        And when the papers all were signed
        And a million copies made
        They all joined hands and bowed their heads
        And grateful prayers were prayed
        And the people in the streets below
        Were dancing round and round
        And guns and swords and uniforms
        Were scattered on the ground

        Last night I had the strangest dream
        I ever dreamed before
        I dreamed the world had all agreed

          When Annie Took Me Home - Tom Paxton

          Late at night, somewhat tight,
          Guardian angels put to flight
          Freddie's doused the neon light
          That promised while it shone.
          Time to go, time to blow,
          They don't push me cause they know
          I am still in my long ago
          When Annie took me home.
          There was I wondering why
          Annie'd choose to ask me over.
          But she did, sure she did,
          She called me her Irish rover.
          Sat me there in her chair,
          Ran her fingers through my hair.
          Talk of heaven, I've been there,
          When Annie took me home.
          Rafters rung, songs were sung,
          Spanish is a loving tongue.
          Ribbons on my life were hung,
          When Annie took me home.
          There was wine, there was time
          All the while guitars were playing.
          When the day came my way
          And she told me I'd be staying.
          Love can go, love can grow,
          Did she love me? I don't know.
          Though she often told me so,
          I never really know.
          Was I blind? I don't mind.
          I think life's been more than kind.
          Thanks to life there was the time
          When Annie took me home

      Last Friday when I left the building, saw the protestor still therer occupying the square. Suddenly Dave Van Ronk came to my mind

      If I'd been drunk when I was born ，I'd be ignorant of sorrow
      And so well drink the final toast
      that never can be spoken:
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
      Last Call - Dave Van Ronk

      And so weve had another night
      of poetry and poses,
      and each man knows hell be alone
      when the sacred ginmill closes.

      And so well drink the final glass
      each to his joy and sorrow
      and hope the numbing drink will last
      til opening tomorrow.

      And when we stumble back again
      like paralytic dancers
      each knows the question he must ask
      and each man knows the answer.

      And so well drink the final drink
      that cuts the brain in sections
      where answers do not signify
      and there arent any questions.

      I broke my heart the other day.
      It will mend again tomorrow.
      If Id been drunk when I was born
      Id be ignorant of sorrow.

      And so well drink the final toast
      that never can be spoken:
      Heres to the heart that is wise enough
      to know when its better off broken.

      I came upon a child of god
      He was walking along the road
      And I asked him, where are you going
      And this he told me
      I’m going on down to yasgur’s farm
      I’m going to join in a rock ’n’ roll band
      I’m going to camp out on the land
      I’m going to try an’ get my soul free
      We are stardust
      We are golden
      And we’ve got to get ourselves
      Back to the garden

      Then can I walk beside you
      I have come here to lose the smog
      And I feel to be a cog in something turning
      Well maybe it is just the time of year
      Or maybe it’s the time of man
      I don’t know who l am
      But you know life is for learning
      We are stardust
      We are golden
      And we’ve got to get ourselves
      Back to the garden

      By the time we got to woodstock
      We were half a million strong
      And everywhere there was song and celebration
      And I dreamed I saw the bombers
      Riding shotgun in the sky
      And they were turning into butterflies
      Above our nation
      We are stardust
      Billion year old carbon
      We are golden
      Caught in the devil’s bargain
      And we’ve got to get ourselves
      Back to the garden

        DOWN TO YOU - Joni Mitchell

        Everything comes and goes
        Marked by lovers and styles of clothes
        Things that you held high
        And told yourself were true
        Lost or changing as the days come down to you
        It's down to you
        Constant stranger
        You're a kind person
        You're a cold person too
        It's down to you

        You go down to the pick up station
        Craving warmth and beauty
        You settle for less than fascination
        A few drinks later you're not so choosy
        When the closing lights strip off the shadows
        On this strange new flesh you've found
        Clutching the night to you like a fig leaf
        You hurry
        To the blackness
        And the blankets
        To lay down an impression
        And your loneliness

        In the morning there are lovers in the street
        They look so high
        You brush against a stranger
        And you both apologize
        Old friends seem indifferent
        You must have brought that on
        Old bonds have broken down
        Love is gone
        Ooh, love is gone
        Written on your spirit this sad song
        Love is gone

        Everything comes and goes
        Pleasure moves on too early
        And trouble leaves too slow
        Just when you're thinking
        You've finally got it made
        Bad news comes knocking
        At your garden gate
        Knocking for you
        Constant stranger
        You're a brute-you're an angel
        You can crawl-you can fly too
        It's down to you
        It all comes down to you

        And I'm saying a prayer
        For the desperate hearts tonight

        That one last shot's a Permanent Vacation
        And a how high can you fly with broken wings
        Life's a journey - not a destination
        And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings

        You have to learn to crawl
        Before you learn to walk
        But I just couldn't listen
        To all that righteous talk oh yeah
        I was out on the street
        Just tryin' to survive
        Scratchin' to stay alive

        It's amazing
        With the blink of an eye
        You finally see the light
        Oh it's amazing
        When the moment arrives
        That you know you'll be alright
        Oh it's amazing
        And I'm saying a prayer
        For the desperate hearts tonight

      Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Love Letter

      I hold this letter in my hand
      A plea, a petition, a kind of prayer
      I hope it does as I have planned
      Losing her again is more than I can bear
      I kiss the cold, white envelope
      I press my lips against her name
      Two hundred words. We live in hope
      The sky hangs heavy with rain

      Love Letter Love Letter
      Go get her Go get her
      Love Letter Love Letter
      Go tell her Go tell her

      A wicked wind whips up the hill
      A handful of hopeful words
      I love her and I always will
      The sky is ready to burst
      Said something I did not mean to say
      Said something I did not mean to say
      Said something I did not mean to say
      It all came out the wrong way

      Love Letter Love letter
      Go get her Go get her
      Love Letter Love letter
      Go tell her Go tell her

      Rain your kisses down upon me
      Rain your kisses down in storms
      And for all who'll come before me
      In your slowly fading forms
      I'm going out of my mind
      Will leave me standing in
      The rain with a letter and a prayer
      Whispered on the wind

      Come back to me
      Come back to me
      O baby please come back to me

      • As I Sat Sadly By Her Side -buickregal(One-Way Highway); 2011-10-30 {2592} (#7024939@0)
        As I sat sadly by her side

        At the window, through the glass
        She stroked a kitten in her lap
        And we watched the world as it fell past
        Softly she spoke these words to me
        And with brand new eyes, open wide
        We pressed our faces to the glass
        As I sat sadly by her side

        She said, "Father, mother, sister, brother,
        Uncle, aunt, nephew, niece,
        Soldier, sailor, physician, labourer,
        Actor, scientist, mechanic, priest
        Earth and moon and sun and stars
        Planets and comets with tails blazing
        All are there forever falling
        Falling lovely and amazing"

        Then she smiled and turned to me
        And waited for me to reply
        Her hair was falling down her shoulders
        As I sat sadly by her side

        As I sat sadly by her side
        The kitten she did gently pass
        Over to me and again we pressed
        Our different faces to the glass
        "That may be very well", I said
        "But watch the one falling in the street
        See him gesture to his neighbours
        See him trampled beneath their feet
        All outward motion connects to nothing
        For each is concerned with their immediate need
        Witness the man reaching up from the gutter
        See the other one stumbling on who can not see"

        With trembling hand I turned toward her
        And pushed the hair out of her eyes
        The kitten jumped back to her lap
        As I sat sadly by her side

        Then she drew the curtains down
        And said, "When will you ever learn
        That what happens there beyond the glass
        Is simply none of your concern?
        God has given you but one heart
        You are not a home for the hearts of your brothers

        And God does not care for your benevolence
        Anymore than he cares for the lack of it in others
        Nor does he care for you to sit
        At windows in judgement of the world He created
        While sorrows pile up around you
        Ugly, useless and over-inflated"

        At which she turned her head away
        Great tears leaping from her eyes
        I could not wipe the smile from my face
        As I sat sadly by her side

          Nick Cave Hallelujah


          On the first day of May I took to the road
          I`d been staring out the window most of the morning
          I`d watched the rain claw at the glass
          And a vicious wind blew hard and fast
          I should have taken it as a warning
          As a warning As a warning
          As a warning

          I`d given my nurse the weekend off
          My meals were ill prepared
          My typewriter had turned mute as a tomb
          And my piano crouched in the corner of my room
          With all its teeth bared
          All its teeth bared All its teeth bared
          All its teeth bared.

          Hallelujah Hallelujah
          Hallelujah Hallelujah

          I left my house without my coat
          Something my nurse would not have allowed
          And I took the small roads out of town
          And I passed a cow and the cow was brown
          And my pyjamas clung to me like a shroud
          Like a shroud Like a shroud
          Like a shroud

          There rose before me a little house
          With all hope and dreams kept within
          A woman`s voice close to my ear
          Said, "Why don`t you come in here?"
          "You looked soaked to the skin"
          Soaked to the skin Soaked to the skin
          Soaked to the skin

          Hallelujah Hallelujah
          Hallelujah Hallelujah

          I turned to the woman and the woman was young
          I extended a hearty salutation
          But I knew if my nurse had been here
          She would never in a thousand years
          Permit me to accept that invitation
          Invitation That invitation
          That invitation

          Now, you might think it wise to risk it all
          Throw caution to the reckless wind
          But with her hot cocoa and her medication
          My nurse had been my one salvation
          So I turned back home
          I turned back home I turned back home
          Singing my song

          Hallelujah
          The tears are welling in my eyes again
          Hallelujah
          I need twenty big buckets to catch them in
          Hallelujah
          And twenty pretty girls to carry
          them down
          Hallelujah
          And twenty deep holes to bury them in
          Hallelujah
          The tears are welling in my eyes again
          Hallelujah
          I need twenty big buckets to catch them in
          Hallelujah
          And twenty pretty girls to carry them down
          Hallelujah
          And twenty deep holes to bury them in

      It Don't Matter To The Sun
      Rosie Thomas


      It don't matter to the sun if you go or if you stay.
      No, the sun is gonna rise, gonna rise.
      Shine down on another day.
      There will be tomorrow even if you choose to leave.
      Cause it don't matter to the sun, no, no.
      It matters to me.

      It ain't gonna stop the world if you walk out that door.
      This old world just keeps spinning round, spinning round.
      Like it did the day before.
      Cause to them it makes no difference.
      It just keeps on keeping time.
      ‘Cause it ain't gonna stop the world, no.
      But it'll be the end of mine.

      So, what can I say
      What can I do?
      I'm still in love
      Why aren't you

      ‘Cause it don't matter to the moon if you're not in my life.
      No, the moon will just keep hanging round, hanging round.
      Like its just another night.
      Who find another place to shine
      On some other lover's dreams.
      Cause it don't matter to the moon no, no.
      It matters to me

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~````
        Mick McAuley & Winifred Horan - To Make You Feel My Love


        When the rain is blowing in your face
        And the whole world is on your case
        I could offer you a warm embrace
        To make you feel my love

        When the evening shadows and the stars appear
        And there is no one there to dry your tears
        I could hold you for a million years
        To make you feel my love

        I know you haven’t made your mind up yet
        But I would never do you wrong
        I’ve known it from the moment that we met
        No doubt in my mind where you belong

        I’d go hungry, I’d go black and blue
        I’d go crawling down the avenue
        There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
        To make you feel my love

        The storms are raging on the rollin’ sea
        And on the highway of regret
        The winds of change are blowing wild and free
        You ain’t seen nothing like me yet

        I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
        Nothing that I wouldn’t do
        Go to the ends of the earth for you
        To make you feel my love

          • You can tell man at different age interprets the song very differently based on their life experience. When Adele covered it, she was only 19 if I still recall. Every time I hear this song, I have to drop what I do and finish listening to it. :-) -buickregal(One-Way Highway); 2011-11-6 (#7044221@0)

      Mad World, Alex Parks

      All around me are familiar faces
      Worn out places, worn out faces
      Bright and early for their daily races
      Going nowhere, going nowhere
      And their tears are filling up their glasses
      No expression, no expression
      Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
      No tomorrow, no tomorrow

      And I find it kind of funny
      I find it kind of sad
      The dreams in which I'm dying
      Are the best I've ever had
      I find it hard to tell you
      'Cos I find it hard to take
      When people run in circles
      It's a very, very
      Mad World

      Children waiting for the day they feel good
      Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
      Made to feel the way that every child should
      Sit and listen, sit and listen
      Went to school and I was very nervous
      No one knew me, no one knew me
      Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
      Look right through me, look right through me

        Will the sun ever shine again - Bonnie Raitt

        Rain is pourin' down like the
        Heavens are hurtin'.
        Seems like it's been dark since
        The devil knows when.
        How do you go on, never knowin'
        For certain,
        Will the sun ever shine again?

        Feels like it's been years since
        It started to thunder.
        Clouds are campin' out in the valley
        And glen.
        How do you go on, when you can't help
        But wonder.
        Will the sun ever shine again?

        What if the rain keeps fallin'?
        What if the sky stays gray?
        What if the winds keep squallin',
        And never go away?

        Maybe soon the storm will be
        Tired of blowin'.
        Maybe soon it all will be over, amen.
        How do you go on, if there's no way
        Of knowin'?
        Will the sun ever shine?
        Wish I could say.
        Send me a sign-
        One little ray.
        Lord, if you're list'nin', how long
        Until then?
        Will the sun ever shine again?

          And all I've got to say is make it strong
          It's been a long day
          And all I've got to say is I've been wrong
          So take a leave of absence
          Tell me you'll be gone
          I don't want to see your face
          It's been a long day
          And I just want to hide away
          It's been a long week
          And all the lines come down heavy on me
          It's been a long week
          I'm finally feeling like it's okay to break
          into a thousand pieces
          no one can replace
          only I can find my way
          It's been long day
          And I just want to hideaway
          It's been a long year
          And everyone around me's disappeared
          It's been a long year
          And all this mess around me's finally cleared
          So can I have a moment just to say hello
          Can you let your anger go?
          It's been a long year
          And I'm finally ready to be here...

        Fire for the hills pick up your feet and lets go.
        Head for the hills pick up steel on your way.
        And when you find a piece of them in your site,
        fire at will, dont you waste no time.

        Another thought of the unaware,
        addiction in disguise.

        With a drop of blood,
        you will take them out, for me.

        Fire from the hills pick up speed and lets go.
        Fire for real, yeah shoot to kill with no aim.
        Head for the hills yes eyes on the camp fire glow.
        Creep up there like a white mink hiding n snow.

        And outta black a figure forms a soldier in the sky.
        With a drop of love,trying to set you free.

        Run for the hills, pick up your feet and lets go.
        We did our jobs, pick up speed now lets move.
        The trees cant grow without the sun in their eyes.
        And we can't live if we're too afriad to die.

        Hold on tight, yes hold on tight you're too slow.
        Fire at the breeze that blows these thoughts through our mind.
        Hire only thieves to steal the thoughts from our heads.

      Oh yeah by the way
      Oh yeah by the way
      What a waste that I still love you
      After the mess you've made

      What a waste that I'm not jaded
      Once in awhile I even smile
      What a waste you're just a stranger
      To me now

      Oh yeah by the way
      Oh yeah by the way
      There are still so many things
      I wonder if I should say, like

      What a waste that I still love you
      But I can't erase one scar
      All your self-inflicted wounds
      Have made you what you are

      So goodbye yesterday
      Goodbye yesterday

        Why should I autograph the book
        That you won’t even read

        And blood left still to bleed
        But I don’t wanna waste your time

        I don’t wanna waste good wine
        If you won’t stick around
        I love to laugh but I’m more than just
        Your alcoholic clown
        I won’t pray this prayer with you
        Unless we both kneel down

        Come on lighten up
        Let me fill your cup
        I’m just trying to imagine a situation
        Where we might have a real conversation

        But I don’t wanna waste the words
        That you don’t seem to need
        When it comes to wanting what’s real
        There’s no such thing as greed
        I hope this night puts down deep roots
        I hope we plant a seed

      If only you could see into me

      Oh when your cold
      I'll be there
      To hold you tight to me
      Oh when your alone
      I'l be there by your side baby

        Sade - Soldier Of Love


        I've lost the use of my heart
        But I'm still alive
        Still looking for the light
        And the endless pool on the other si e
        It's the wild wild west
        I'm doing my best
        I'm at the borderline of my faith
        I'm at the hinterland of my devotion
        I'm in the front line of this battle of mine
        But i'm still alive
        I'm a soldier of love
        Every day and night
        I'm a soldier of love
        All the days of my life
        I've been torn up inside
        I've been left behind
        Tall I ride
        I have the will to survive
        In the wild, wild west
        Trying my hardest
        Doing my best to stay alive
        I am love's soldier
        I wait for the sound
        I know that love will come
        I know that love will come
        Turn it all around
        I am lost but i don't doubt
        Tall I ride
        I have the will to survive
        I n the wild, wild west
        Trying my hardest
        Doing my best to stay alive
        I am love's soldier
        I wait for the sound
        I know that love will come
        I know that love will come
        Turn it all around
        I'm a soldier of love
        I'm a soldier
        Still wait for love to come
        Turn it all around
        I'm a soldier of love
        I'm a soldier

      You could be my silver springs

      I would be your only dream
      Your shining autumn, ocean crashing
      And did you say she was pretty
      And did you say that she loves you
      Baby, I don't wanna know

      I'll begin not to love you
      Turn around, see me runnin'
      I'll say I loved you years ago
      Tell myself you never loved me, no
      And did you say she was pretty
      And did you say that she loves you
      Baby, I don't wanna know
      Oh, no
      And can you tell me was it worth it
      Really, I don't wanna know

      Time casts a spell on you, but you won't forget me
      I know I could have loved you, but you would not let me
      I'll follow you down til' the sound of my voice will haunt you
      You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you

        Rock on, gold dust woman
        Take your silver spoon, dig your grave

        Heartless challenge
        Pick your path and I'll pray

        Wake up in the morning
        See your sunrise loves to go down

        Lousy lovers
        Pick their prey but they never cry out loud
        Cry out

        Well, did she make you cry, make you break down,
        Shatter your illusions of love
        And is it over now, do you know how
        Pick up the pieces and go home

        Rock on ancient queen
        Follow those who pale in your shadow

        Rulers make bad lovers
        You better put your kingdom up for sale
        Up for sale

        Well, did she make you cry
        Make you break down
        Shatter your illusions of love
        Well, is it over now, do you know how
        Pick up the pieces and go home
        Well, did she make you cry
        Make you break down
        Shatter your illusions of love
        And now tell me, is it over now, do you know how
        To pick up the pieces and go home
        Go home, and go home

        Creedence Clearwater Revival: Someday Never Comes


        First thing I remember was askin' papa, "Why?",
        For there were many things I didn't know.
        And Daddy always smiled; took me by the hand,
        Sayin', "Someday you'll understand."

        [CHORUS:]
        Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son
        You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,
        'Cause, "Someday" Never Comes."

        Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust,
        For there were many things I didn't know.
        When Daddy went away, he said, "Try to be a man,
        And, Someday you'll understand."

        [CHORUS]

        And then, one day in April, I wasn't even there,
        For there were many things I didn't know.
        A son was born to me; Mama held his hand,
        Sayin' "Someday you'll understand."

        [CHORUS]

        Think it was September, the year I went away,
        For there were many things I didn't know.
        And I still see him standing, try'n' to be a man;
        I said, "Someday you'll understand."

      Joshua Radin - Everything'll Be Alright

      Way down, in New York town
      Thinking about the way she loved me
      There's a hole in my pocket
      That's about her size
      But I think everything
      Is gonna be alright
      Yes I hope everything
      Is gonna be alright

      The smiling face, straight in LA
      The gifts are found at the bar
      But I wish my car
      Could drive to her tonight
      Then I'd know everything
      Is gonna be alright
      Yes then I'd know
      It'll be alright

      The rain in New Orleans, forgot to end
      But the mouths of the people are dry
      And we watch and wait
      And do nothing but sigh
      And hope everything
      Is gonna turn alright
      But I don't know
      If it'll be alright

      But I look at you, warm in your dream
      While your mobile dances above
      And I think to myself
      It's a beautiful night
      And I know everything
      Is gonna be alright
      Yes now I know
      It'll be alright

      They didn't have you where I come from
      Never knew the best was yet to come
      Life began when I saw your face
      And I hear your laugh like a serenade

      How long do you want to be loved
      Is forever enough, is forever enough
      How long do you want to be loved
      Is forever enough
      Cause I'm never, never giving you up

      I slip in bed when you're asleep
      To hold you close and feel your breath on me
      Tomorrow there'll be so much to do
      So tonight I'll drift in a dream with you

      How long do you want to be loved
      Is forever enough, is forever enough
      How long do you want to be loved
      Is forever enough
      Cause I'm never, never giving you up

      As you wander through this troubled world
      In search of all things beautiful
      You can close your eyes when you're miles away
      And hear my voice like a serenade

      How long do you want to be loved
      Is forever enough, is forever enough
      How long do you want to be loved
      Is forever enough
      Cause I'm never, never giving you up

      How long do you want to be loved

      How long do you want to be loved

        "The Reason Why" - Rachael Yamagata


        I think about how it might have been
        We'd spend our days travelin'
        It's not that I don't understand you
        It's not that I don't want to be with you
        But you only wanted me
        The way you wanted me

        So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
        And we can hang our heads down as we skip the goodbyes
        You can tell the world what you want them to hear
        I've got nothing left to lose, my dear
        So, I'm up for the little white lies
        But you and I know the reason why
        I'm gone, and you're still there

        I'll buy a magazine searching for your face
        From coast to coast, or whatever I find my place
        I'll track you on the radio
        And I'll sign your list in a different name
        But as close as I come to you
        It's not the same

        So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
        We can pat ourselves on the back and say that we tried
        And if one of us makes it big
        We can spill our regrets
        And talk about how the love never dies
        But you and I know the reason why
        I'm gone, and you're still there

        So, steal the show
        And do your best to cover the tracks that I have left
        I wish you well and hope you find whatever you're looking for
        The way I might've changed my mind
        But you only showed me the door

        So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
        We can pat ourselves on the back and say that we tried
        And if one of us makes it big
        We can spill our regrets
        And talk about how the love never dies
        But you and I know the reason why

      Ashokan Farewell - Jay Ungar


      The sun is sinking low in the sky above Ashokan.
      The pines and the willows know soon we will part.
      There's a whisper in the wind of promises unspoken,
      And a love that will always remain in my heart.

      My thoughts will return to the sound of your laughter,
      The magic of moving as one,
      And a time we'll remember long ever after
      The moonlight and music and dancing are done.

      Will we climb the hills once more?
      Will we walk the woods together?
      Will I feel you holding me close once again?
      Will every song we've sung stay with us forever?
      Will you dance in my dreams or my arms until then?

      Under the moon the mountains lie sleeping
      Over the lake the stars shine.
      They wonder if you and I will be keeping
      The magic and music, or leave them behind.

      Sinead O'Connor - Streets of London

      Have you seen the old man, in the closed-down market
      kicking up the papers, with his worn-out shoes?
      In his eyes you’d see no pride, hand held loosely by his side
      yesterday’s papers, telling yesterday’s news

      So how can you tell me, you’re lonely
      and say for you the sun don’t shine?
      Let me take you by the hand,
      and lead you through the streets of London
      I’ll show you something, to make you change your mind.

      Have you seen the old girl, who walks the streets of London
      Dirt in her hair, and her clothes in rags?
      She’s no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking.
      Carrying her home, in two carrier bags.

      CHORUS

      In the all-night cafe, at a quarter past eleven
      Same old man sitting there, on his own.
      Looking at the world, over the rim of his tea-cup.
      Each tea lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone.

      CHORUS

      Have you seen the old man outside the Seaman’s Mission
      Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears.
      In our winter city, the rain crys a little pity,
      For one more forgotten hero, and a world that doesn´t care.

        Ain't no pretty other side
        Ain't no way to understand the stupid words of pride
        It would take an acrobat, and I already tried all that so
        I'm gonna let him fly
        Things can move at such a pace
        The second hand just waved goodbye
        You know the light has left his face
        But you can't recall just where or why
        So there was really nothing to it
        I just went and cut right through it
        I said I'm gonna let him fly

        There's no mercy in a live wire
        No rest at all in freedom
        Of the choices we are given it's no choice at all
        The proof is in the fire
        You touch before it moves away
        But you must always know how long to stay and when to go

        And there ain't no talkin to this man
        He's been tryin to tell me so
        It took awhile to understand the beauty of just letting go
        Cause it would take an acrobat, I already tried all that
        I'm gonna let him fly
        I'm gonna let him fly

          And west by the river, without a doubt or lie
          There is a quiet gentle beauty
          And her waist is a bright as any swan on the wave
          From the crown of her head to the soles of her feet
          She is the woman that tormented my heart
          And left me heartbroken
          There is nothing that will cure me
          Since my true love rejected me

          I would prefer, than all of Ireland
          Or the wealth of the king of Spain
          That you and I could be together in a quiet spot
          In a wood far from our friends
          Oh you and I to be married, my love
          With the permission of father and mother
          Oh young maiden of the sweet kisses
          You're the sun of the White Rocks

          Oh beauty of the white hair, if you would be mine
          You would have everything your friends would like
          From silk to hats, from head to toe
          And the best of everything in the city
          Your cows would be driven every noon to the town
          And the bees in the meadow would sing sweetly for you
          You would have your fill of drink and have coaches to take you
          All around the edge of the White Rocks
