Sheryl Crow - Wildflower Tour: Live From New York(Srn) [compilation, live] (2007) by Sheryl Crow (보컬) on maniadb.com

She was born in November 1963
The day Aldous Huxley died
And her mama believed
That every man could be free
So her mama got high, high, high
And her daddy marched on Birmingham
Singing mighty protest songs
And he pictured all the places
That he knew that she belonged
But he failed and taught her young
The only thing she's need to carry on
He taught her how to

Run baby run baby run baby run
Baby run

Past the arms of the familiar
And their talk of better days
To the comfort of the strangers
Slipping out before they say
so long
Baby loves to run

She counts out all her money
In the taxi on the way to meet her plane
Stares hopeful out the window
At the workers fighting
Through the pouring rain
She's searching through the stations
For an unfamiliar song
And she's pictures all the places
Where she knows she still belongs
And she smiles the secret smile
Because she knows exactly how
To carry on

So run baby run baby run baby run
Baby run

From the old familiar faces and
Their old familiar ways
To the comfort of the strangers
Slipping out before they say
So long
Baby loves to run

<<Hard To Make A Stand
--- Sheryl Crow

Old James Dean Munroe
hands out flowers at the Shop-N-Go
Hopes for money but all he gets is fear
And the wind blows up his coat
and this he scribbles on a perfume note
"If I'm not here, then you're not here"
and he says "Call me Miscreation,
I'm a walking celebration!"

(CHORUS)
And It's Hard to make a stand (repeat x3)

My friend, oh lawdy,
went to take care of her own body,
and she got shot down in the road,
and she looked up before she went and said
"This isn't really what I meant"
and the daily news said "2 with 1 stone"
And I say "Hey there Miscreation,
bring a flower, time is wasting!"

(CHORUS)

We got loud guitars and big suspicions,
great big guns and small ambitions,
but we're still fighting 'bout who is God.
And I say "Hey there, Miscreation,
bring a flower, time is wastin'",
and I say "Hey there, Miscreation,
we all need a revelation!"

(CHORUS)

<<Maybe Angels
--- Sheryl Crow

Six-lane highway running up to my back door
But it won't take me where I want to be
I took the I-95 down to Pensacola
All I found was a bunch of holyrollers
The don't know nothing about saving me

[Chorus]
I swear they're out there,
I swear, I swear they're out there,
I swear, I swear they're out there,
I swear, maybe angels, maybe angels

Down here I feel like a citizen of nowhere
My bag's all packed in case they ever come for me
Got a hundred stories and tabloid lies
Got witnesses to what the government denies
So I'm headed down to Roswell to wait and see

Chorus

Oh what a mystery
Oh, I believe, I believe, I could leave

My sister, she says she knows Elvis
She knows Jesus, John Lennon, and Cobain personally
Well, but I'm too wise to believe my eyes
Cause all I've seen just terrifies me
But I believe they're coming back for me

Chorus

Good is good and bad is bad
But you don’t know which one you had
She put your books out on the sidewalk
Now they’re blowing ‘round
But they won’t help you when you’re down

Love’s on your list of things to do
To bring your good luck back to you
And if you think that everything’s unfair
Would you care if you’re the last one standing there

And every time you hear the rolling thunder
You turn and run before the lightening strikes
And does it ever make you stop and wonder
If all your good times pass you by

I don’t hold no mystery
But I can show you how to turn the key
Cause all I know is where I started
So downhearted
And that’s not where you want to be

And every time you hear the rolling thunder
You turn and run before the lightening strikes
And you could find a rock to crawl right under
And let your good times pass you by

When the day is done
And the world is sleeping
And the moon is on its way to shine
All the friends are gone
You thought were so worth keeping
You feel you don’t belong
But you don’t know why

And every time you hear the rolling thunder
You turn and run before the lightening strikes
And does it ever make you stop and wonder
If all your good times pass you by

Every time you hear the rolling thunder
And you turn and run before the lightning strikes
Well does it ever make you stop and wonder
If all your good times pass you by

When the day is done
And the world is sleeping
And the moon is on its way to shine (shine)
And all your friends are gone
You thought were so worth keeping
You feel you don’t belong
Neither do I

I woke up late
Put my sweater on
And I walked down to the shop
I stood in line
′Til the line was gone
And my turn to win was lost

What do you do
When you look to the left and to the right
And find no clue?

Well I′m sending a letter to God
How will it be when I′m gone?
And what if everyone is wrong?

I took you in
Made a bed for you
And in turn you gave me some
Words to go on
Told me I was saved
But you never said what from

What do you do
When you look to the left and to the right
And find no clues
To the questions you ask yourself at night?
Who will come through?

You′ll be sending a letter to God
How will it be when you′re gone?
And what if everyone is wrong?

A solid case
For the innocent
Could be made and laid to rest
They say, ″it won′t do
If you aren′t like us
Then you′ve failed the final test″

What do you feel
When you look to the east and to the west
If this is real
Does it feel like some never ending test?
A finance deal
If this is my one last chance to invest
I′ve one request

I′ll be sending a letter to God
To know where will I go when I′m gone
And what if everyone is wrong?

I've been long, along way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
And drank 'til I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles

Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen

Well, o.k. I made this up
I promised you I'd never give up

[Chorus]
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad

You get down, real low down
You listen to coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before?

I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed,
Scrape the mold off the bread,
And serve you french toast again

Well, o.k. I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home

Chorus

We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
And everywhere in between

Well, o.k. we get along
So what if right now everything's wrong?

Chorus

They say love keeps on growing
It′s the one thing that I′ve felt I′ve always known
Cause it wouldn′t matter where you′re going
Cause where you are is where I wanna go

I know why the heart gets lonely
Every time you give your love away
And if you think that you are only
A shadow in the wind
Rolling round but when you go and let somebody in
They might fade away


Tell me why the road keeps turning
When everything you want is straight ahead
And every thing I thought worth learning
Is forgotten when I see your face instead

I know why the heart gets lonely
Every time you give your love away
And if you think that you are only
A shadow in the wind
Rolling round but when you go and let somebody in
They might fade away


All you say is so overrated
Holding on to yesterday
Along the way, it can get too complicated to say

I know why the heart gets lonely
Every time YOU GIVE YOUR LOVE away
And if you think that you are only
A shadow in the wind
You better think again

I know why the heart gets lonely
Every time you give your love away
And if you think that you are only
Flowers in the wind
Blowin′ round the wind
You let somebody in they might fade away

Fade away...

I would have given you all of my heart
but there's someone who's torn it apart
and he's taken just all that i have
but if you want i'll try to love again
baby, i'll try to love again, but i know...

the first cut is the deepest
baby i know
the first cut is the deepest
but when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me, he's worst...

i still want you by my side
just to help me dry the tears that i've cried
and i'm sure gonna give you a try
if you want i'll try to love again, (try)
baby, i'll try to love again, but i know...

OOHHH,
the first cut is the deepest
baby i know
the first cut is the deepest
but when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
but when it comes to lovin' me, he's worst...

i still want you by my side
just to help me dry the tears that i've cried
but i'm sure gonna give you a try
cuz if you want i'll try to love again
(try to love again, try to love again)
baby, i'll try to love again but i know, OOHHH....

the first cut is the deepest
baby i know
the first cut is the deepest
when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me, he's worst

OOHHH, the first cut is the deepest
baby i know (baby i know)
the first cut is the deepest
try to love again...

God, I feel like hell tonight
Tears of rage I cannot fight
I'd be the last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man?

Nothing's true and nothing's right
So let me be alone tonight
Cause you can't change the way I am
Are you strong enough to be my man?

Lie to me
I promise I'll believe
Lie to me
But please don't leave

I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
Just try and love me if you can
Are you strong enough to be my man?

When I've shown you that I just don't care
When I'm throwing punches in the air
When I'm broken down and I can't stand
Will you be MAN ENOUGH to be my man?

Lie to me
I promise I'll believe
Lie to me
But please don't leave

Quiet hours
You have always been my wildflower
Showing up wherever beauty′s lost its way
Your heart must break

I was free
Until I heard the song you sang me to me
Pulling me away from everything I knew
To be with you

And everything I know just fades away
And every time you go it hurts me so
I don′t know why WHEN I know we′re free
Free to fly

Here we are
Burning faster than the CLOSEST star
Falling back down to the Earth
I love you so it sometimes hurts

Closer still
You will find me standing on the hill
Waiting for you with my arms stretched open wide
Now, come inside

And everything I know just fades away
And every time you go it hurts me so
I don′t know why WHEN I know we′re free
Free to fly

And everything I know just fades away
And when a wildflower grows it picks its space
And that′s the way it is when nature plays its lovely hand
You′ll understand everything

Everything, everything

I was lost inside a daydream
Swimming through the saline
I looked at you and you breathed in
Well that′s the way it′s always been

It all comes down to creating time
You don′t always have to make it rhyme
We′ll all drive by in our hybrid lives
Chances are we′ll make it back

I was doing time in the LA jail
My Karma was living inside a failure
No matter how it don′t matter now
Rest assured the rest is blurred

It all comes down to doing time
You don′t always have to make it a crime
We′ll all drive off in our hybrid lives
Chances are we′ll make it back
We′ll make it back... We′ll make it back

Terrance McKenna said
It is better to explore within
We were apes before we spoke of sin
The cosmos sits on the tip of a pin

It all comes down to creating time
You don′t always have to make it alright
We′ll all drive by with our hybrid lives
Chances are... Chances are... Chances are
We′ll make it back... We′ll make it back
We′ll make it back... We′ll make it back

It's don't hurt like it did
I can sing my song again
It's don't hurt like it did
I can sing my song again

I scraped the paper off the wall
I put down carpet in the hall
I left no trace of you at all
And I can sing my song again

I don't dream 'cuz I don't sleep
The moon is hanging like your hat
The sun comes up, well I don't see
Curtains tied up like a bat
The electric man looks good today
Maybe not, well I'm trying hard
Trying hard to feel that way,
The electric man's a good place to start
Took your paintings off the wall
That one of me that you called doll
I added on 'cuz the house was feeling small
Now I can sing my song again

I don't think of you no more
Except for everyday or two
I don't think of you no more
Except for in between the sun and moon
Packed up and moved out after all
Bulldozed the house and watched it fall
That blessed sight I still recall
I can sing my song again

I can sing my song
It don't hurt like it did, it hurts worse
Who do I kid?

My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away
But every now and then you come to mind
Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game
But when your name was called, you found a place to hide
When you knew that I was always on your side

Well everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent
But your demons and your angels reappeared
Leavin′ only traces of the man you thought you′d be
Leavin’ me with no place left to go from here
Leavin′ me with so many questions all these years

Is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Or are you left to wander, all alone, eternally
This isn′t how it′s really meant to be
No it isn′t how it′s really meant to be

Well they say that love is in the air, but never is it clear,
How to pull it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away
And I′m left to carry on and wonder why
Even through it all, I′m always on your side

But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Or are you left to wander, all alone, eternally
But this isn′t how it′s really meant to be
Oh it isn′t how it′s really meant to be

Well if they say that love is in the air, never is it clear
How to pull it close and make it stay
If butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away
Leavin′ me to carry on and wonder why
Was it you that kept me wondering through this life
When you know that I was always on your side

Today I saw the strangest thing on the evening news
A man who wasn′t sad at all about what′s going on
And even though I′m trying to smile
With everything I see it could take a while

Chorus:
I′ve been looking everywhere I go
Where has all the love, where has all the love gone?
I′ve been looking all around to know
Where has all the love, where has all the love gone?

Yesterday I heard you say you never close your eyes
Sometimes the world′s a scary ride, it′s hard to hang on
Along the way we got off track
And if we turn around can we ever get back?

Chorus

You say it was there when we were young
Today I saw a flag roll by on a wooden box
And if it′s true we lost our way
Then what have we got?

Chorus 2x

Today I saw the strangest thing

I hitched a ride with a vending machine repair man
He says he's been down this road more than twice
He was high on intellectualism
I've never been there but the brochure looks nice
Jump in, let's go
Lay back, enjoy the show
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low,
These are the days when anything goes

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine

He's got a daughter he calls Easter
She was born on a Tuesday night
I'm just wondering why I feel so all alone
Why I'm a stranger in my own life
Jump in, let's go
Lay back, enjoy the show
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low
These are the days when anything goes

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine

I've been swimming in a sea of anarchy
I've been living on coffee and nicotine
I've been wondering if all the things I've seen
Were ever real, were ever really happening

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine

Everyday is a winding road (repeat until song fades)
