On the first part of the journey, I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz And the sky with no clouds The heat was hot and the ground was dry, But the air was full of sounds I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la After two days in the desert sun, my skin began to turn red After three days in the desert fun, I was looking at a river bed And the story it told of a river that flowed Made me sad to think it was dead You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la After nine days, I let the horse run free 'cause the desert had turned to sea There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The ocean is a desert with its life underground And a perfect disguise above Under the cities lies a heart made of ground But the humans will give no love You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la |

We used to laugh
We used to cry We used to bow our heads then Wonder why But now you're gone I guess I'll carry on And make the best of what you've left to me Left to me, left to me I need you Like the flower needs the rain You know, I need you Guess I'll start it all again You know, I need you Like the winter needs the spring You know I need you I need you And every day I'd laugh the hours away Just knowing you were thinking of me Then it came That I was put to blame For every story told about me About me, about me I need you Like the flower needs the rain You know, I need you Guess I'll start it all again You know, I need you Like the winter needs the spring You know I need you I need you, I need you |

Ain't it foggy outside
All the planes have been grounded Ain't' the fire inside Let's all go stand around it Funny, I've been there And you've been here We ain't have no time to drink that beer (Chorus) Cuz' I understand you've been runnin' from the man That goes by the name of the Sandman He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye of a hurricane thats abandond Ain't the years gone by fast I suppose you have missed them Oh I almost forgot to ask Did you hear of my enlistment Funny I've been there And you've been here We ain't have no time to drink that beer Cuz' I understand you've been runnin' from the man That goes by the name of the Sandman He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye of a hurricane thats abandond (Repeat chorus x3) |

Heaven may be an answer
If you're lookin' for Eden in the sky On your waters I see a strange reflection Rumor has it I'll see you when I die Everyone I meet is from California There's dancin' in the streets in California In California you watch the shadow dancer Floating gently, gently on the sea In California you're such a strange romancer Come and see me when the world has set you free Everyone I meet is from California There's dancin' in the streets in California Everyone I meet is from California There's dancin' in the streets in California |

Chewing on a piece of grass
Walking down the road Tell me, how long you gonna stay here Joe? Some people say this town don't look good in snow You don't care, I know Ventura Highway, in the sunshine Where the days are longer The nights are stronger Than moonshine You're gonna go, I know 'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair And the days surround your daylight there Seasons crying no despair Alligator lizards in the air Wishin' on a falling star Waitin' for the early train Sorry boy, but I've been hit by a purple rain Aw, come on Joe, you can always change your name Thanks a lot son, just the same Ventura Highway in the sunshine Where the days are longer The nights are stronger Than moonshine You're gonna go, I know 'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair And the days surround you daylight there Seasons crying no despair Alligator lizards in the air In the air |

There's a little girl out lyin' on her own
She's got a broken heart She's not the kind to take you down for long She knows and plays it smart (Ah--) And if she's comin' she's shown no more She's heard no whistle blowin' from the door She feels like leavin' and she don't know why Without no bridges she's trapped, so I sigh Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side All your life You were on your own If you want you can ride my train And soon forget the reason that you're leaving You'll lose yourself and then sometime Maybe even save yourself some grievin' Oh, oh, oh, oh Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide ... |

To each his own it's plain to see
To walk alone you have to be It's all for you and all for me, you'll see I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will No matter who you are, I'll love you still For my life is my conscience, the seeds I sow I just wanted to let you know Familiar faces that I've seen Turnin' red and turnin' green They just got caught with writing on their sleeve, I guess I'll leave I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will No matter who you are, I'll love you still Will you cancel my papers and lock the door Cause I ain't gonna be 'round no more Will I make it through the summer Breaking ties with the old and new Losing one just gains another There is nothing I can do I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will No matter who you are I'll love you still For my life is my conscience, the seeds I sow And I just wanted to let you know I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will No matter who you are, I'll love you still Will you cancel my papers and lock the door Cause I ain't gonna be 'round no more I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will No matter who you are I'll love you still For my life is my conscience, the seeds I sow And I just wanted to let you know I'm gonna miss you ... |

I've been down to the water
I've been on top of the world Somebody should come and see me Somebody should give me the word 'Cause I don't know how many more I don't know how many more I don't know how many more to see Sometimes the free thoughts clash Sometimes I see through the grass Sometime the light begins to dim Somebody should come and be me Somebody should come and free me 'Cause I don't know how many more (many more) I don't know how many more (many more) I don't know how many more to see Oh darlin', darlin', I always wanna see you Oh darlin', darlin', I always wanna see you I cannot learn much more life I cannot see much more Somebody should stop the new sight Somebody should close the door 'Cause I don't know how many more (many more) I don't know how many more (many more) I don't know how many more to see Wrapped in a blanket, lyin' in the snow Feelin' like the men felt a long time ago Goin' to find me a home, goin' to build it with my hands Can't you see there's food to be grown Got to dig up, dig up the land |

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doing the town and doing it right In the evening It's pretty pleasing Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land And they shimmy And Sammy's so skinny And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed Singing and jinging the jango Floating like the heavens above Looks like muskrat love Nibbling on bacon, chewing on cheese Sammy says to Susie, "honey, would you please Be my missus?" And she says yes with her kisses And now he's tickling her fancy, rubbing her toes Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes As they wriggle And Sue starts to giggle And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed Singing and jinging the jango Floating like the heavens above Looks like muskrat love |

When the deep blue night is running close on your track
And you can feel the green monkey crawlin' across your back Don't take me so real that you forget how to feel Don't let the threat of the dagger turn your heart into steel Smell the perfume of the silent dream Fly the ocean, read a story to me Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree Speak to me So you think that star cluster shining bright in the sky Will speak the fate of your evening, tell the truth to your lie Don't let the features you read control the tickets you buy Soon as you learn that you live, you're just beginning to die Smell the perfume of the silent dream Fly the ocean, read a story to me Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree Speak to me Smell the perfume of the silent dream Fly the ocean, read a story to me Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree Speak to me |

We're afraid she's gonna let you down
Take your money and drop you to the ground Wouldn't want to see you messed around After all the love you think you've found She's gonna let you down Doesn't matter what we say Love's the stubbornest game to play Given time you might see it our way And we'll be sorry boy until that day She's gonna break away Remember all the times you helped us through Now here's our chance to do the same for you Guess the thing to do is wait around Lend a hand when you are on the ground She's gonna let you down She's gonna let you down She's gonna let you down |

Window frames a picture of winter time within my room
Sometimes then I laugh at the funny times we had in school Blowing leaves, broken dreams Seventeen, dancing queen, dancing queen I am asleep on a rainbow Hiding from the wake of the tide I am asleep on a rainbow Hoping for the rest of the ride Can you feel it moving inside of you? Can you let it go? The purple ghost of England in winter time, and who I used to know Blowing leaves, broken dreams Seventeen, dancing queen, dancing queen I am asleep on a rainbow Hiding from the wake of the tide I am a sleep on a rainbow Hoping for the rest of the ride Blowing leaves, broken dreams Seventeen, dancing queen, dancing queen I am asleep on a rainbow Hiding from the wake of the tide I am asleep on a rainbow Hoping for the rest of the ride I am asleep on a rainbow Hiding from the wake of the tide I am asleep on a rainbow Hoping for the rest of the ride |

Sometimes late when things are real
And people share the gift of gab between themselves Some are quick to take the bait And catch the perfect prize that waits among the shelves But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have And Cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad. So please believe in me When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round Smoke glass stain bright color Image going down, down, down, down Soapsuds green like bubbles Oh, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have And Cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad So please believe in me When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round Smoke glass stain bright color Image going down, down, down, down Soapsuds green like bubbles No, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have And Cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad So please believe in me |

Hey, Daddy just lost his pay
What did he do it for It never made it through our door He drank the week away What can a family say There must be a better way Now, Mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try Pick up the telephone Tell him you want him home To sit and watch the evenings pass And readin' the Leaves of Grass I'm caught in a closing door It's pinning me to the floor Now, Mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try I'm caught in a closing door It's pinning me to the floor Now, Mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try When we're old and gray And the things we say Are the things we rarely mean So why cause a scene When things ain't what they seem 'Cause the end result's the same Now what can a family say There must be a better way Now, Mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try |

The lights of the city at night set the scene Stumble through the bars of forget-me-not lane Sparkle through the glitter but don't show the pain In Hollywood Underneath a golden palm tree Hollywood Come to the party the drinks are on me For free Heartbeats echo through a cavern of love Come to the tavern I'll meet you up above Soaring through the heavens, what a fabulous ride But everybody's heading for the same place to hide In Hollywood Underneath a golden palm tree Hollywood Come to the party the drinks are on me For free The drink's on me For free The drink's on me For free The drink's on me The drink's on me The drink's on me The drink's on me |

Then we walk on a crooked catwalk Only to be delayed Bubbles of blue burst into two Eaten up by the incoming tide Of the new Then we call to the man who walks on the water We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view It's in view Granite charades are played in the rain Till we fall through a sand castle window To avoid the pain Summer canoe paddles up to you 'Cause it's time for another beer run Or something that's equally true Then we call to the man who walks on the water We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view Then we call to the man who walks on the water We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view It's in view |

Don't make me wait till the morning comes Light in the sky Look me in the eye, eye, eye, eye Don't, keep me waiting around Too much longer now Don't, don't keep me waiting around, around, around, around When I called you from my river of darkness An echo was all that came back Saw you wave goodbye Down the railroad track Sometimes when you're out and all alone And you can't find your way back Wonder if you'll ever make it home God of the sun I'll be around till the day's begun One sight of your ray Takes the night away, away, away, away Oh, but when I walk through that door Take my hat and my coat off waiting for you to call I tell you not right now, lady, I got work on my mind And I'll talk to you soon Always remember When I called you from my river of darkness An echo was all that came back I saw you wave goodbye Down the railroad track Sometimes when you're out and all alone And you can't find your way back Wonder if we'll ever make it home No more |

Hope you never turn your head and run And thank the sun for shining, too Hope the darkness never comes again What it does to me Isn't good to see You say that fortune brought you Sailin' cross the sea I don't believe you I don't see how it's true I think my dreamin' brought you here And if I wake tomorrow will you still be near Once a miser, twice a son Three's a devil, four's a lot of fun Fun for living one and all Start a battle, who's the first to fall Hope it isn't me Have to wait and see You say that fortune brought you Sailin' cross the sea I don't believe you I don't see how it's true I think my dreamin' brought you here If I wake tomorrow will you still be near Should I live with rain and then the sky will clear |

Sarah, please
Where is the love you said you'd save for me Am I a fool to think that something's strange I think you've changed Golly, Dad She was the best thing that I ever had Torn and battered now and due for repair But she's not there What does it matter and who really cares With no one to turn to when she's not there Ah, but it's all right, I'll get by Miles apart Left here standing with a broken heart Call me names but I'll refuse to cry Don't ask my why What does it matter and who really cares With no one to turn to when she's not there Ah, but it's all right, I'll get by |
