Look how the sun, captured by the rain
Glimmers and falls, and lands in golden balls Like a bracelet hung, from a spider's web For me to show to you, like gifts That you won't forget... For as long as you live See how the rain, captured by the leaves Shimmers and falls, and lives on in diamonds balls Like a necklace hung, over limb and branch For me to show to you, like gifts That you won't forget... For as long as you live Watch how the stars, captured by the sky Appear to die, before our eyes and live on in other ways Well tonight they're mine, for me to show For me to shower you, like gifts That you won't forget... For as long as you live And you will always have For I will always give them To you |

And so with the explorers on my heels I started t'wheel/Stepped aside stone walls, i was sick of it all/And so I set my sail on yr coattails and yr warm shawl/Up where there's an Everlasting Arm, sends us out alone, moves us out of harm/Ever-reaching always sweeping...And though I struggled t'take my place/there stood my mistake/Standing there like some great big theatre curtain he knew for certain I'd come down on you softly/Up where.../By and by the gates swung wide/Loved ones came in sight/Storming down the street like Puerto-Rican kids in a summer rain/Breaking open the hydrants and going insane/Up where...

On a summer day, you can hear her call
But in a funny way she reminds you of the fall On a summer day, you can hear her call But in a funny way she reminds you of the fall Through the fields and the streams and the lakes and the trees And the grass and the logs run all my dogs And I am home again In the autumn air, you can see her smile But in a funny way she reminds you of a child In the autumn air, you feel her soul unfold And in a funny way you feel your own explode Through the fields and the streams and the lakes and the trees And the grass and the logs run all my dogs And I am home again On a winter day, you can hear her call But in a funny way when the snow begins to fall On a winter day, you can hear her call And in a funny way, you love her even more Through the fields and the streams and the lakes and the trees And the grass and the logs run all my dogs And I am home again Through the fields and the streams and the lakes and the trees And the grass and the logs run all my dogs And I am home again On a summer day, you can hear her call But in a funny way she reminds you of the fall On a summer day, you can hear her call But in a funny way she reminds you of the fall |

I dreamed of you on my farm
I dreamed of you in my arms But dreams are always wrong I never dreamed I’d hurt you I never dreamed I’d lose you In my dreams I’m always strong But now th' creek is rising An’ all my bridges burned I always dreamed of big crowds Plumes of smoke and high clouds But dreams don’t last for long I have my suspicions When th’ stars are in position All will be revealed But I know that until then Unless th’ stars surrender All will be concealed And now th’ snow is falling And all my fences torn I know you need someone An’ I can hear someone Somewhere in this song I dreamed that I was walking And th' two of us were talking Of all life's mystery Th' words that flow between friends Winding streams without end I wanted you to see But it can seem surprising When you find yourself alone And now th' dark is rising And a brand new moon is born I always dreamed I'd love you I never dreamed I'd lose you In my dreams I'm always strong |

If I was a white horse
And offered you a ride Through a black forest If we took a strange course Promised you a danger For a while Ooh, ooh (If I was a white horse) Lorelei Ooh, ooh (If I was a white horse) Lorelei There's no way around the forest The only way is through And there's no way I'll ever make it on my own Without you But if you are persuaded By all those dragon flies, offerin' you a ride I'll know why Ooh, ooh (If I was a white horse) Lorelei Ooh, ooh (If I was a white horse) I'll know why I'll know why Forests come in all size Danger many shapes Well, who's to say If I was a white horse Offered you a ride Through a black forest |

Time, all the long red lines, that take
Control, of all th smokelike streams that flow into yr Dreams, that big blue open sea, that can't be Crossed, that can't be climbed, just born Between, oh th' two white lines, distant gods an' faded Signs, of all those blinking lites, you had t' pick the one tonite... Holes, dug by little moles, angry jealous Spies, got telephones for eyes, come t' you as Friends, all those endless ends, that can't be Tied, oh they make me laugh, an' always make me Cry, til they drop like flies, an' sink like polished Stones, of all th' stones i throw, how does that ol' song go how does that ol' song go... Bands, those funny little plans, that never work quite right. |

Hard as the kick in a young man's stride
I stabbed myself back into the night One heel in front, one heel behind Life in the Empire State... Angels and devils before my eyes The palms of my hands hung by my side Helpless I watched them destroy and divide Life in the Empire State... Cold were my bones, warm was the fire White was your face cast to my mind Bright as ever any light that shined On Life in the Empire State Into the Void I roared in vain What if the South's gonna do it again Promise you'll b by my side for the end Of Life in the Empire State... Shrug off the shifting weight of home And hope that the Almight Anchor will hold Was there room in your heart for your weakest son all along Whistle sirens the Blind comin' on... No matter how lion-hearted my will I still stray beyond? I threw up my hands and swore I'd find more in yr arms Was the Narrow Way there in our midst all along Sounds like the empire State's comin' on... |

A year is just a drop in time,
it cannot touch th’ female form in my bed She is just a friend of mine, In th’ dark she knows th’ touch of my hand Let th’ music play like you want it to Let th’ sunshine lite in yr hair Let th’ moonlite play at your feet like a babe An’ softly linger there Her words profane, her mouth divine, I tried to sympathize with both sides But I was caught, like a fleeting thought, stuck inside of Leonard Cohen’s mind We met on a beach in Greece, an’ parted on a rusty Spanish stair Two birds in th’ distance fly, they landed an’ they settle down somewhere Let th’ music play like you want it to Let th’ sunlite glide thru yr hair Let th’ moonlite play at your feet like a babe An’ softly linger there A year is just a drop in time, it cannot touch her female form in my head She was just a friend of mine, in th’ dark she knew th’ touch of my hand |

Well she tossed all night like a ragin' sea woke up an' climbed from th' suicide machine with her spanish candles an' her persian poems stuck on th' rocks insude opus 40 stoned an' scratchin' he wrists in the pourin' rain she collapses down upon th' ocean floor again Tears in waves minds on fire Nights alone by yr side Catskill mansions buried screams i'm alive she cried but i don't know what it means somewhere out there across th' moonlit sands there's a line drawn like th' lines on her own shand an' slammin' her eyes lockin' th' door she collapses down upon th' ocean floor again Tears in waves minds on fire Nights alone by yr side |

He was friend of mine
He was friend of mine Everytime I think about him Not I just can't keep from cryin' And he was friend of mine He died on the road He died on the road He never had enough momey To pay his room or board And he was friend of mine I stole away and cried I stole away and cried Cause I never had too much money And I never been satisfied. He never done no wrong He never done no wrong A thousand miles from home And he never harmed no one And he was friend of mine He was friend of mine Everytime I hear his name Not I just can't keep from cryin' Cause he was friend of mine - |

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly, A girl with kaleidoscope eyes Cellophane flowers of yellow and green, Towering over your head Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes, And she's gone Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Ha-ah) Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain Where rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies, Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers, That grow so incredibly high Newpaper taxis appear on the shore, Waiting to take you away Climb in the back with your head in the clouds, And you're gone Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Ha-ah) Picture yourself on a train in a station, With plasticine porters with looking glass ties, Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle, The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Ha-ah) Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Oh-oh) |

The first hint of morning, someone's snoring
The cat upstairs is yawning and calling her name She's in a playful way and a venomous mood When she bites my ear, it's just for fun And I believe her when she says, "I'm glad we never wed" Better off with the butter than the bread Then quick, before she breathes, so gently I'm seized My ear to her belly, whoa, nelly It's just like she said Better off with the butter than the bread Now take it as a warning, the first hint of morning There's good times ahead Open the dawning, cars are crawling Their rides outside are snoring, and it's pouring with rain And in the strangest way the night behaves In patterns and shapes that suggest that I escaped And I believe her when she says, "I'm glad you never left" Better off with a lover than a friend Than quick before she speaks So quickly I ease my lips to her cheek and thank Jesus It's just like she said Better off with the butter than the bread Now take it as a warning, the first hint of morning Oh, there's good times ahead (Just like she said) Oh, there's good times ahead (Just like she said) There's good times ahead (Just like she said, good times ahead) There's good times ahead Yeah, there's good times ahead |
