SPACESHIP RACES
by Gerry Goffin & Carole King Baby you're so frazzled Spining around in a Busby swirl With all that razzle, dazzle I know at heart you want a downhome girl CHORUS: Aw you know I want to take you to the Spaceship Races Watch them do a few laps around the sun But if you don't go in for far out places I'll take you home with me When the day is gone Baby, you're so scattered Your span of atention is shrinking fast Your brain has been battered By all the disapointments of the recent past CHORUS Didn't I see you walking on Main Street Lookin in windows waiting by turnstiles Thinkin' of things you thought you'd like to buy Livin' off dreams stored up in film cans Lookin' at screens just waitin' your turn while you looked up and saw a rocket in the sky CHORUS |

NO EASY WAY DOWN
by Gerry goffin & Carole King Your toy balloon has sailed in the sky But now it must fall to the ground Now your sad eyes reveal Just how badly you feel 'Cause there is no easy way down The view from the cliffs must have been exciting And up to the peaks you were bound Now you're stranded alone And the path is unknown And there is no easy way down No, it isn't very easy When you're left on your own No, it isn't very easy When each road you take Is one more mistake And there's no one to break your fall And lead you back home We all like to climb to the heights, I know Where a (our?) fantasy world can be found But you must know in the end When it's time to descend There is no easy way down You know you're gonna find There is no easy way down |

GOIN' BACK
by Gerry Goffin & Carole King I think I'm going back to the things I learned so well in my youth I think I'm returning to the days when I was young enough to know the truth Now there are no games to only pass the time No more electric trains, no more trees to climb Thinking young and growing older is no sin And I can play the game of life to win I can recall a time when I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend Now I think I've got a lot more than my toys to lend Now there's much to do than watch my sailboat glide And every day can be my magic carpet ride A little bit of freedom is all we lack So catch me if you can, I'm going back A little bit of courage is all we lack So catch me if you can, I'm going back Going back |

EVENTUALLY
by Gerry Goffin & Carole King Was a time I remember Hope flashed and went dim When assassins just happened To do the right people in And love was a slogan coincidently And they told us they'd work it out eventually In the swing of changing times A man cried out for his And every politician said He was telling us like it is Yes, they walked down the angry streets To have themselves a look- see And they told us they'd work it out eventually I see the choking cities I see them tearing up this earth I see people feeling That their lives have little worth And I know that the future Depends on you and me I hope we can work it out eventually I hope we can work it out eventually Hey maybe someday eventually |

When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face I climb way up to the top of the stairs And all my cares just drift right into space On the roof it's peaceful as can be And there the world below can't bother me Let me tell you now When I come home feelin' tired and beat I go up where the air is fresh and sweet I get away from the hustling crowds And all that rat race noise down in the street Up on the roof On the roof's the only place I know Where you just have to wish to make it so Oh, let's go up on the roof At night the stars put on a show for free And darling, you can share it all with me I keep a-telling you Right smack dab in the middle of town I found a paradise that's trouble-proof Up on the roof So if this world starts getting you down There's room enough for two, up on the roof Up on the roof, everything is allright Up on the roof, oh, come on, baby Up on the roof Up on the roof |

COME DOWN EASY
by Carole King & Toni Stern Daytime run away Nightimes seem so long I'm all right in the sunshine But the evenings let me down It sure is good to see you now I'm really glad you came And I would tell you what I need But it never feels the same So come down easy Let it come down slow I've been alone so long that I just don't know what to do And I don't want to lose you How my life slips away How the time goes by And I know I belong here Yes, I know, though I don't know why Riding along with a friend of mine Got enough space, got enough time Pieces of fruit and glasses of wine And love comes in the summertime And I don't want to lose you God bless the children God bless us all We are the children of Paradise On our own now since the fall All the things that are worth having Are never ours to keep Still I can see today could be A good time for you and me If you come down easy... |

Oh, did anybody really know? |

PEACE IN THE VALLEY
by Carole King & Toni Stern Looking out my window Peace in the valley just don't come Though I know that man's my brother ANd that I'm the sefish one. The hour is getting later It's time we had begun Knowing something's one thing But the race must still be run Take care of little jealousies And talk that kills for fun And hold your heart in readiness It's so easy to come undone But I think I saw a brand new light Coming over the horizon Brighter than all the others And it says all men are brothers under the skin Brothers under the skin Looking out my window Peace in the valley just don't come Though I know that she's my siter And that I'm the selfish one And I look at other people And I love the ones I can And I wonder if the dreamm will be Or turned into sand Still I think I saw a brand new light Coming over the horizon Brighter than all the others And it says all men are brothers under the skin Brothers under the skin Peace in the valley just don't come |

FEELING SAD TONIGHT
by Carole King & Toni Stern Feeling sad tonight But everything's all right And we'll find some other place to go Feeling sad tonight But everyhting's all right Let's turn all our cares down low. Come on, let's go downtown It's like a trip back to the past Running down the bright night Drivind a little too fast Oh, I'm counting on you Sitting on a barstool I'm a fool Always feeling half right and half safe Halfway dreaming of some safe place away from school Oh, I'm counting on you Silly someitmes I'm a fool. Feeling sad tonight But everything's all right And we'll find some other place to go Feeling sad tonight But everyhting's all right Let's turn all our cares down low. There is a sapce between us Which we cross To touch each other softly And so make up our loss Some things take so long to learn No matter how we try Still we try and keep it open And we get by Feeling sad tonight But everything's all right And we'll find some other place to go Feeling sad tonight Feeling sad Feeling so sad tonight |

GOODBYE DON'T MEAN I'M GONE
by Carole King Don't it seem like the time goes on And here we are still carrying on Reaching out for one another Like a telephone call from an old friend or a brother And you are there to share this song in the making Goodbye don't mean I'm gone I know how alone you are When it's so hard to be so far From the ones who mean the most to you WHen you would so much rather have them close to you I hope you know you haven't been forsaken Goodbye don't mean i'm gone I'll never be what you think you see in me If I can help you deal with what you see as real That makes me glad to have known you Missing you the way I do You know I'd like to see more of you But it's all I can do to be a mother My baby is in one hand, I've a pen in the other You know my love is always there for the taking And goodbye don't mean I'm gone |

STAND BEHIND ME
by Carole King I was wanting someone to talk to Needing to let myself out Knowing beyond a doubt the past is behind me There was nowhere but here to walk to Letting the time go by Trying to see if I could ever find me. It didn't seem to make much sense Thinking about the dent I'd made in the world to date Was I too late, you say Should I create today Or let it be Now needing a hand to cling to Lucky I was to find SOmeone of similar mind to stand behind me Not letting dazzlement blind me Showing me where to find me Willing to just be kind and stand behind me. |

GOTTA GET THROUGH ANOTHER DAY
by Carole King It's a gray, gray gloomy day A strange and moody blues day Gotta get through, gotta get through another day Corn yellow silk and golden sunlight I remember AS we walked together, you and I Love like a sweet flaming glow inside Now has been denied And I've cried till I can't remember why I Gotta get through, gotta get through some way Gotta get through, gotta get through another day Will Tuesday be "good news" day Or another "paying dues" day It's a strange and moody blues day anyway Some say that time brings a better understanding Of the ryme and reason to it all Still the flame keeps burning through the lonely night It's just not all right ANd I wonder if I'll make it till you call I Gotta get through, gotta get through some way It's a gray, gray gloomy day, A strange and moody blues day Gotta get through, gotta get through another day |

I THINK I CAN HEAR YOU
by Carole King What must i do, how can I serve you Is it true what I do is the way to be near you I'm listening, though sometimes I can't hear you. Looikng around fills me with wonder At the way you can keep this old world running smoothly Thinking of you always seems to soothe me I know you're probably not a aman or a woman or a time or a season But I'm here and life is dear And I guess that's a good enough reason to say Just let me do what you put me here to Let me be what you want me to be And I hope it'll cheer you I'm listening and I think I can hear you Even when I thought I didn't believe You believed in me And everyone is a part of you And anyone can know you All they've got to do is be I'm listening, and I think I can hear you. |

Green fields and rolling hills Room enough to do what we will Sweet dreams of yestertime are running though my mind Of a place I left behind, been so long, I can't remember when I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again Been so long, I'm living till then Cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until I go back again. Though I'm content with myself Sometimes I long to be somewhere else I try to do what I can, but with our day to day demands We all need a promised land. Been so long, I can't remember when I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again Been so long, I'm living till then 'cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until I go back again. Oh I want to be there in the wintertime With a fireplace burning to warm me And you to hold me when it's stormy Been so long, I can't remember when I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again Been so long, I'm living till then. -- Gail |
