One, two, three
Turn around, don't whisper out my name Like a breeze, it would stir a dying flame I'll miss someone, if it eases you to know And close the door lightly when you go Who was the one that stole my mind? Who was the one that robbed my time? Who was the one who made me feel unkind? See you on the road, sweet love of mine Take your tears from someone else's eyes They're made of glass And they cut like wounded knives Memories, they're drifting like the snow And close the door lightly when you go Who was the one that stole my mind? Who was the one that robbed my time? Who was the one who made me feel unkind? See you on the road, sweet love of mine Who was the one that stole my mind? Who was the one that robbed my time? Who was the one who made me feel unkind? See you on the road, sweet love of mine Turn around, don't whisper out my name For like a breeze, it would stir a dying flame I'll miss someone, if it eases you to know And close the door lightly when you go |

Funny day, looking for laughter and finding it there
Sunny day, braiding white flowers and leaves in my hair Picked up a pencil and wrote 'I love you' in my finest hand Wanted to send it but I don't know where I stand Telephone, even the sound of your voice is still new All alone in Carolina and talking to you And feeling too foolish and strange to say the words that I had planned Guess it's too early 'cos I don't know where I stand Crickets talk, courting their ladies in star-dappled green Crickets talk, until the morning comes up like a dream All muted and misty, so drowsy now, I'll take what sleep I can I know that I miss you but I don't know where I stand Know that I miss you but I don't know where I stand |

Some sweet day, some sweet day
I'm gonna hold you like I want to I'm gonna kiss you like I want to I'm gonna love you like I need to Some sweet day Some sweet day you will say That you have started dreaming of me That you love no one else above me, I'll find a way to make you love me, Some sweet day I hope it won't be long Till I can take you and make you my very own Cause can't you see I get so tired Of wishing and dreaming alone Some sweet day, some sweet day You'll get that twinkle in your eye, love You're gonna look at me and sigh, love And then you tell me that you're my love Some sweet day (repeat last verse) ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By BOUDLEAUX BRYANT, FELICE BRYANT <i>Lyrics © HOUSE OF BRYANT PUBLICATIONS</i> |

It's a long,long way down to Reno, Nevada
It's a long,long way to your home. And the change in your pocket is beginning to grumble And you reap just about what you've sown. You can walk down the street, pass your face in the window, You can go on fooling around, You can work night and day,take a chance on promotion, You can fall through a hole in the ground. Well there ain't no game like the game that you're playing, When you got a little something to lose. And there ain't no time, like the time you been wasting; And you waste just about what you choose. There's a man at the table and you know he's been able To return all the odds that you lay But you can't feed your hunger and you ain't getting younger Your tongue ain't got nothing to say. It's a long,long way down to Reno, Nevada It's a long,long way to your home and the ground underneath you is beginning to crumble, And the sky up above you has grown. There's a time to be grieving and a time to be screaming, And a time just to stroll the wall But you ain't got the double,and it ain't worth the trouble Your feet are going nowhere at all. |

Suzanne takes you down to a place near the river
You can hear the boats go by You can spend the night forever And you know that she's half crazy But that's why you want to be there And she feeds you tea and oranges That come all the way from China And just when you want to tell her That you have no love to give her Then she gets you on her wavelength And she lets the river answer That you've always been her lover And you want to travel with her And you want to travel blind And you think that maybe you'll trust her For she's touched your perfect body with her mind. And Jesus was a sailor When He walked upon the water And He spent a long time watching From His lonely wooden tower And when He knew for certain Only drowning men could see Him He said "All men shall be sailors then Until the sea shall free them" But He Himself was broken Long before the sky would open Forsaken, almost human He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone And you want to travel with Him And you want to travel blind And you think maybe you'll trust Him For He's touched your perfect body with His mind. Suzanne takes you down to a place near the river You can hear the boats go by You can spend the night forever And the sun pours down like honey On our lady of the harbour And she shows you where to look Amid the garbage and the flowers There are heroes in the seaweed There are children in the morning And they're leaning out for love And they will lean that way forever While Suzanne holds the mirror And you want to travel with her And you want to travel blind And you think maybe you'll trust her For you've touched her perfect body with your mind |

At my door the leaves are falling
The cold wild wind will come Sweethearts walk by together And I still miss someone Oh, no I never got over those blues eyes I see them everywhere I miss those arms that held me When all the love was there I wonder if she's sorry For leavin' what we'd begun There's someone for me somewhere And I still miss someone Oh, no I never got over those blues eyes I see them everywhere I miss those arms that held me When all the love was there (Instrumental) |

Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way To be free Like a worm on a hook Like a knight from some old-fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons For thee If I have been unkind I hope you will just let it go by And if I have been untrue I hope you know it was not unto you Like a baby stillborn Like a beast with its horns I have torn everyone Who reached out for me And I swear by this song And by all I have done wrong That I will make it all Up to thee I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden cross He said to me "do not ask for so much" And a woman standing in her darkened door She cried to me "hey, why not ask for more?" Like a bird on a wire Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way To be free |

Some sunny day, baby
When everything seems okay, baby You'll wake up and find that you're alone Because I'll be gone Gone, gone, gone really gone Gone, gone, gone, 'cause you done me wrong Everyone that you meet, baby As you walk down the street, baby Will ask you why you're walkin' all alone Why you're on your own Just tell 'em I'm gone Gone, gone, gone Gone, gone, gone, 'cause you done me wrong If you change your way, baby You might get me to stay, baby You better hurry up if you don't wanna be alone 'Cause I'll be gone Gone, gone, gone Really gone Gone, gone, gone 'Cause you done me wrong |

Stopped awhile this morning on my way back home
I had to realize this time that I'd be all alone 'Cause she's moving somewhere far away not slow And though I tried so hard to please her She said she really had to go Even though this time it really hurts me bad I've been through similarities It's not the first break I've had Just can't let it bring me down too low 'Cause I tried so hard to please her There must be something more to know Never thought that we would find our end this way It seemed that everything was going fine Still with all the things that I can do or say It won't change the fate I know so well is mine So I'll stop again and look right past the pain Because I've been in love before and I can love again While she's moving somewhere far away not slow Although I tried so hard to please her She said she really had to go (Instumental) Stopped awhile this morning on my way back home I had to realize this time that I'd be all alone 'Cause she's moving somewhere far away not slow And though I tried so hard to please her She said she really had to go |

Nicol
Evening's dawning, missed the morning, Slept the afternoon. Half the day's gone, still I laze on, Got no silver spoon. But there's someone out there somewhere, Some girl with my other side. She won't know me, but she'll show me How to treat another heart. Life is bedlam if you let them Kick and put you down. They will race you, beat, disgrace you, Push your face into the ground. But you can get out of there somehow, She will show you how it's done. She's no lady, but she made me Feel that I need a crown. I'll repay her and convey her my realities. She'll respond with, condescend with trivialities. For she doesn't have to think of For too long to read my mind. She's a winner, no beginner, She's a friend of mine. |

Bad news, bad news, come to me where I sleep"
Turn, turn, turn again "Say, one of your friends is in trouble deep" Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind "Tell me the trouble, tell me once to my ear" Turn, turn, turn again "Joliet prison and ninety-nine years" Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind "Oh, what's the charge of how this came to be?" Turn, turn, turn again "Manslaughter in the highest degree" Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind I sat down and wrote the best words I could write Turn, turn, turn again Explaining to the judge I'd be there on Wednesday night Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind Without a reply, I left by the moon Turn, turn, turn again And was in his chambers by the next afternoon Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind "Would you tell me the facts," I said without fear Turn, turn, turn again "That a friend of mine could get ninety-nine years" Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind "A crash on the highway, flew the car to a field" Turn, turn, turn again "There was four persons killed and he was at the wheel" Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind "But I knew him as good as I'm knowing myself" Turn, turn, turn again "And he wouldn't harm a life that belonged to someone else" Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind The judge he spoke out of the side of his mouth Turn, turn, turn again Saying "The witness who saw, he left without doubt" Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind "That may be true, he's got a sentence to serve" Turn, turn, turn again "But ninety-nine years he just don't deserve" Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind "Too late, too late, for his case it is sealed" Turn, turn, turn again "His sentence it is passed and cannot be repealed" Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind "But he ain't no criminal and his crime it is none" Turn, turn, turn again "What happened to him could happen to anyone" Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind At that the judge jumped forward and his face it did freeze Turn, turn, turn again Saying "Could you kindly leave my office now please?" Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind His eyes looked funny and I stood up so slow Turn, turn, turn again With no other choice except for to go Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind I walked down the hallway and I heard his door slam Turn, turn, turn again I walked down the courthouse stairs and did not understand Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind And I played my guitar through the night to the day Turn, turn, turn again And the only tune my guitar could play was "The Old Cruel Rain And The Wind |
