Like some nightbird homeward winging
He seeks that shelteredness Like the sailor's lost horizon He needs some place to rest The songs that he's been singing No longer make much sense And those strangers' cold perceptions They've killed his confidence Nightingale She sails away upon a sea of song Nightingale She serenades his lonely, lonely life along When his tired voice is broken His golden hope is gone She makes a loss so simple-longing somehow not so wrong Nightingale He was strong but he was taken By the thought of his success Those spotlight shadows how they lured him And took him like all the rest But that old dream don't look good now No it don't seem quite the same He needs to hear a tender word Won't you sing him home again Nightingale She sails away upon a sea of songs Nightingale She serenades his lonely, lonely life along When his strength is slowly going His pride is all but gone She makes a foolish dreamer listen To one last song Nightingale Sing sweet nightingale |

CHANGE IN MIND, CHANGE OF HEART
by Carole King & David Palmer You and I We ought to try to face the fact The things we thought had value They've all been taken back We've been losing track of time But time's no easy mark I can see you've got a change in mind But what we need is a change of heart I can see you've got a change in mind But what we need is a change of heart You and me It seems that we've been holding out The things that once held meaning We're no longer sure about We've been moving down the line Losing what time we've got And since you say you've had a change in mind Why don't you try a little change of heart I can see you've got a change in mind But what we need is a change of heart Now I'm not asking anymore of you Than I ask of myself Oh, but when I say we need a new approach Well, I don't mean to someone else Change, they say It's the only way we grow Oh, but the change we're showing Let me tell you I just don't know Seems to me that we could find some other way to start Beginning with a change, a change in mind And ending with a change, a change of heart Oh, begin it with a change, a change in mind But end it with a change, a change of heart |

Lift me, won't you lift me above the old routine;
Make it nice, play it clean jazzman. When the jazzman's testifyin' a faithless man believes he can sing you into paradise or bring you to your knees. It's a gospel kind of feelin', a touch of Georgia slide, a song of pure revival and a style that's sanctified. Jazzman take my blues away; make my pain the same as yours with every change you play. Jazzman, oh jazzman. When the jazzman's signifyin', and the band is windin' low. It's the late night side of morning in the darkness of his soul. He can fill a room with sadness as he fills his horn with tears. He can cry like a fallen angel when risin' time is near. Jazzman take my blues away; make my pain the same as yours with every change you play. Oh lift me, won't you lift me with ev'ry turn around. Play it sweetly, take me down, oh jazzman. |

YOU GO YOUR WAY, I'LL GO MINE
by Carole King & David Palmer You've put these distances between us You've built these walls, they'ree your design With sharp and angry lies, you've cut the binding ties While making love seem so unkind Well, all right, you go your way, I'll go mine I'll get over you in time There's nothing here to hold you now Oh, It's your life, so make it shine You go your way, I'll go mine I've tried to justify your thinking I've given in and been denied Like a hundred times before, you take and ask for more The only thing you leave is compromise Well, all right, you go your way, I'll go mine I'll get over you in time There's nothing here to hold you now We left those dreams so far behind You go your way, I'll go mine Oh, there's no need for false amending Things get so confusinf when you do When love's become a loss, we spend our nights defending I feel so damn defeated when we're through But all right, you go your way, I'll go mine I'll get over you in time There's nothing here to hold you now I just can't fight your willful mind You go your way, I'll go mine |

YOU'RE SOMETHING NEW
by Carole King & David Palmer When I left the world behind me Retreating through the past You reached out to find me Adn brought me back at last You've shown me something Beyond my looking glass Now loce's in my reflection In the shadow that you cast on me, and you You're something ne You're something new Under the sun Under the moon, You're the light of creation And I knew That I'd come to love you Life seemed oh so temporary A case of "here and gone" And I survived just barely Until you came along But now each day I'm given Is one more day I know A love that's so unselfish It's a pleasure just to show my love to you You're something new You're soemthing new Under the sun Under the moon You're the light of creation... |

WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER
by Carole King & David Palmer The just are seeking justice The meek are reaching out For something only children Can really know about And some men cry for mercy While they deny their brothers' pain And some men laugh for reasons They can never quite explain We are all in this together And maybe we'll see that one day When we conquer our fear together When we finally find a way And we all need forgiving For all the damage done For the things we do, not thinking For the hurt that we've caused someone But me, I keep on living Caught soemwhere there between The reason and the meaning The vision and the dream We are all in this together I know that seems easy to say But don't use the word "forever" It's enough just to say "someday" |

YOU GENTLE ME
by Carole King & David Palmer When tempers flare to flame When no one cares to listen while I'm tryin' to explain You see the anger rise in me Adn you calm me down again CHORUS: Like the first spring lilac rain, you gentle me Like innocence regained, you gentle me And the feeling that remains grows stronger by degree When you gentle to me When rumor comes to call Suspicion's taking over and I'm back against the wall You just smile assuringly And my defenses fall CHORUS When life seems so relentless, you gentle me When my strving seems so senseless, you gentle me You lift my spirits, I get higher by degree When you're gentle to me When tension's taking shape When I feel the pressure building and it's just too much to take You touch the anxious need in me With love for lovins sake CHORUS |

MY LOVIN' EYES
by Carole King & David Palmer It's hard enough to hear you Express your sympathy But it's harder still to feel the things My eyes refuse to see Oh, my lovin' eyes When you look upon them darlin' like you do You bring these tears into my lovin' eyes I watch you take my self respect Accepting each excuse When I've never seen the reason For your moods or abuse Oh, my lovin' eyes They hold you like the heaven holds the sun But look what you've done to my lovin' eyes Like a man whose way is righteous His faith in life resigned I'm a child whose eyes are sightless And my faith in you is truly blind It's sad to think of living As pain that we must feel But it's sadder still to think of love As something you conceal Oh, my lovin' eyes When you look upon them darlin' like you do You bring these tears into my lovin' eyes |

A NIGHT THIS SIDE OF DYING
by Carole King & David Palmer I remember one young sister with rainbows in her eyes Standing on the corner with the afternoon's supply She spoke of other places, perhaps a better road Then she asked if I could tell her where they kept the mother lode Like a night this side of dying Her day's inside the dropper on the shelf When she hears her lifeline crying Not a thing you say can stop her When she just can't stop herself I remember that July, the panic and the heat The savage shine of summer, the trychnine in the street The way thay sold each other for a favor in glassine The best of friends sold brothers for a dime of quinine dreams Like a night this side of dying Her day's inside the dropper on the shelf Like the shelter she's been buying Not a thing I've got can save her When she just can't save herself She just can't save herself |

THE BEST IS YET TO COME
by Carole King & Dave Palmer Hard times, hand to mouth, down and out, all those hard times But we've seen the seasons turning As we weathered every storm And the climate of our loving Is so tender and so warm And the best is yet to come This is only the beginning And we've only just begun To realize the best is yet ot come Heartache, more or less useless, all the heartache But when the flood of sudden tears came down We smiled and stood our ground And the laughter we'd been counting on It finally came around And the best is yet to come And it's getting so much better Than anyhting I've known And I know - oh, yes - The best is yet to come |

by Carole King So many ways So many ways to show you love someone So many ways to show someone you care We have so much in common ALthough we come from places worlds apart When you reach out and touch my hand Without a word you say I love you You're beautiful You are in my heart So many ways So many ways to show you love someone So many ways to show someone you care Since I've been spending all my time with you You've taught me something new every day And I just want to say The music comes from you and me And it's plain to see that we both know So many ways So many ways to show you love someone So many ways to show someone you care |

Daughter of light
You're a welcome sight To a weary soul Seeing you just lifts me out of the cold It's only temporary You have to go away But you're beautiful And you never fail to make my day Daughter of light You smile and all the sadness leaves my heart It's an easy course for sailing that you chart But it's only temporary You have to go away You're too beautiful And you know I'd never ask you to stay Riding on the beach at sunset Dreaming of the world that waits for you That's where my mind's eye sees you In a world that frees you To do anything that you want to do Daughter of light Though you can only be a sometime friend You restore my faith in love again And that's not temporary Even though you go away You're too beautiful Much more than words can say |

HIGH OUT OF TIME
by Gerry Goffin & Carole King High out of time I wish the years away Look into your eyes And you look into mine All my sorrows disappear When I'm high out of time High out of time Is a place I like to be I'm a part of you And you're a part of me And I can hold you near When I'm high out of time No use wondering where the years have gone Time waits for no one, we all have to go on But every now and then I look up an old friend And come home to someplace I used to belong High out of time The world becomes so new Horizons That we've crossed I cross again with you Traveling through the years When I'm high out of time |

As I bask in the glow of a just-lit fire
Feeling the warmth as the flames grow higher I think it's true that nothing is really new under the sun Watching a new love grow from old love's embers Yesterday's gone but today remembers Doesn't it seem to come down the same for everyone (Chorus) Only love is real Everything else illusion Adding to the confusion of the way we connive At being alive Tracing a line till we can define The thing that allows us to feel Only love is real Childhood dreams like muddy waters Flowing through me to my son and daughters Everything I ever thought is confirmed as truth to me Even as I see the way that I want to go now Still I had wished I had known what I know now Maybe I could have spared you Giving your youth to me (Chorus) Only love is real Everything else illusion Adding to the confusion of the way we connive At being alive Tracing a line till we can define The thing that allows us to feel Only love is real |

THERE'S A SPACE BETWEEN US
by Carole King Everytime I've needed you You've been there for me But now I feel a boundary has been drawn I can see from all you do That you still care for me I know the feeling hasn't gone But there's a space between us A place that I can't go Unless you step across and meet me halfway We've been friends for much too long And the feeling's much too strong to let it go astray Reach out and make the space between us go away I know a little bit of space between two friends CAn sometimes do them good But once in a while we need to touch The way that people should Love can tie you down, I know Cause you know I've been there But I've been working on a way to love And still be free to care You love your lady And I know just what you're thinking Was a time I used to be just where you are But since I've found my freedom And I've finally let it sink in The distance isn't very far There's a space between us A place that I can't go Unless you step across and meet me halfway We've been friends for much too long And the feeling's much too strong to elt it go astray Reach out and make the space between us go away Reach out, I know that you can hear me Come on and reach out, I need to feel you near me |

WE ALL HAVE TO BE ALONE
by Gerry Goffin & Carole King Once I told you without feeling When you came to me in sorrow There's a truth that life's revealing We all have to be alone You only wanted someone tohold you Tell you she'd be there tomorrow But instead I only told you We all have to be alone Then I was amazed to see How quickly you agreed with me If that's the way it has to be There's nothing left to say No reason left to stay Besides I've got a lot of better things to do today So my world grew so much colder With a little love to lend or borrow And I found out as I grew older We all have to be alone |

AMBROSIA
by Carole King & David Palmer In the fields of sweet Ambrosia I've been told You can sit down by the river And watch yourself unfold You can drink right from the river And purify your soul CHORUS: Oh, Ambrosia, Pour it sweet and slow I need to be replenished, I need to overflow Let my senses know your power Let your holy mix distill Oh, Ambrosia, Let my spirit drink its fill Oh, Ive been like those people Who need pain to feel alive But now I'm kind of like a child Who's been slowly reconciled To waiting on the wisdom that He knows will soon arrive In the hills above Ambrosia I have seen A lovely place of mystery with meadows emerald green And the colors of Ambrosia Are as real as any dream Just as real as any dream CHORUS |

IT'S GONNA WORK OUT FINE
by Carole King CHORUS: We've been putting each other Through a hard time And it's a mighty good feeling to Know we're gonna work it out It's gonna work out Yeah, it's gonna work out fine Take a look at the way it's going now Makes you want to give a sigh of relief You know the last thing I ever Wanted to do WAs to give you any grief I guess it was a situation That was bound to come up someday But our feeling for each other won out And I'm oh so glad to say CHORUS Even the best of relationships Run the risk of going awry There's a lot two people who care about each other Can do to make each other cry Ain't it funny how it took a reunion To help us to really see With each other is the only way we can ever be CHORUS |
