A wise man was telling stories to me
About the places he had been to And the things that he had seen A quiet voice is singing something to me An age old song about the home of the brave In this land here of the free One time one night in America A lady dressed in white with the man she loved Standing along the side of their pickup truck A shot rang out in the night Just when everything seemed right Another headline written down in America The guy that lived next door in #305 Took the kids to the park and disappeared About half past nine Who will ever know How much she loved them so That dark night alone in America A quiet voice is singing something to me An age old song about the home of the brave In this land here of the free One time one night in America Four small boys playing ball in a parking lot A preacher, a teacher, and the other became a cop A car skidded into the rain Making the last little one a saint One more light goes out in America A young girl tosses a coin in the wishing well She hopes for a heaven while for her There's just this hell She gave away her life To become somebody's wife Another wish unanswered in America People having so much faith Die too soon while all the rest come late We write a song that no one sings On a cold black stone Where a lasting peace will finally bring The sunlight plays upon my windowpane I wake up to a world that's still the same My father said to be strong And that a good man could never do wrong In a dream I had last night in America A wise man was telling storie to me About the places he had been to And the things that he had seen A quiet voice is singing something to me An age old song about the home of the brave In this land here of the free One time one night in America |

The wind blows through the valley
It's warm and hard and wild It gets all up inside the trees And shakes the leaves all night They shake up through the mountains They shake up to the sky They shake up to the moon above And then it starts to shine And Lord it makes me tremble And Lord it makes me tremble They shakin' and shakin' and shakes A fault runs through the valley It's long as it is mean It starts to tear into the earth And gets all in between It shakes up through the mountains It shakes down to the sea It shakes up to the volcano And then it starts to scream And then it starts to shine And Lord it makes me tremble And Lord it makes me tremble It's shakin' and shakin' and shakes There's a woman in this valley She's sweet as she is rough And when she starts to dance that way She shakes the boys all up She shakes it through the mountains She shakes it through the night She shakes it like a hurricane She gives a blind man sight And Lord it makes me tremble And Lord it makes me tremble She's shakin' and shakin' and shakes |

Climbing high to the mountain top
Reaching up to the sky above Asking to myself Is this all there is? Sailing into the ocean blue Trying to find at least one clue On a paper scrawled Is this all there is? [Chorus] And they all came to talk about it The came to cry and laugh and fight about it All searching for the promised land Tired souls with empty hands Asking to themselves Is this all there is? Fifteen years on a sewing machine Where twisted hands don't mean a thing Wondering to herself Is this all there is? Baby crying in an old tin cup Wanting more but there's never enough While her mother sighs Is this all there is? ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By DAVID HIDALGO, LOUIS PEREZ <i>Lyrics © BUG MUSIC</i> |

?Que hare lejos de ti prenda del alma?
?Sin verte, sin oirte y sin hablarte? A cada instante intentare de ti acordarme ?Como quitar la esencia de las flores? ?Como quitarle al viento la armonia? ?Como negar que te amo, vida mia? ?Como borrar de mi alma esta pasion? Al ver que el cruel destino nos condena Mi bien de que me olvidez tengo miedo Mi corazon me dice ya no puedo No puedo mis angustias soportar ?Como quitar el brillo a las estrellas? ?Como impedir que corra el manso rio? ?Como negar que sufrir el pecho mio? ?Como borrar de mi alma esta pasion? |

Who's feeling sorry now?
Just when I thought I knew how The man with the master plan I let it all slip through my hands Why did you turn on me? I'm the same man that I used to be Did you forget who I am? I'm the man with the master plan But every day's the same Nothing seems to change My life is just minutes away And all I wanted to do was dance How could this happen to me? I had it all worked to a T Went through it with a fine toothed comb Now you want to leave me here alone But every day's the same Nothing seems to change My life is just minutes away And all I wanted to do was dance I didn't ask for much I maybe didn't ask for enough I maybe should've forced your hand But all I wanted to do was dance |

A toast to love with paper cups
And a vow to never part They're saying to each other there's a fire burning Deep within their hearts But at her darkest hour he's gone far away She's all alone And when the lights go out it's the hardest time The hardest time to be alone She sends her Mary off to school And sits to watch TV They're talking about spending their lives together The way it's supposed to be Then the baby cries, wakes her from her dream She's on her own And when the lights go out it's the hardest time The hardest time to be alone A mother's dream is like a story never told Reaching out for something more then a hand to hold Wanting the girl she left behind So far behind Pen and paper in her hand To write the folks back home She's telling them again that her life is better Not like long ago Then her shaking hand tears across the page Crumbles to the floor And when the lights go out it's the hardest time The hardest time to be alone |

My Baby's Gone
She's gone away from me My Baby's Gone She's gone away from me Living doesn't matter now She's going to set me free Most people say That now I'm free from your spell Most people say That now I'm free from your spell Living on the outside You know it's hard to tell Five years relations Went down the drain What does it matter She'll always be the same My Baby's Gone She's gone away from me Crying doesn't matter now She's going to set me free She's going away She's going away for good She's going away She's going away for good Crying doesn't matter now It wouldn't do a bit of good She's gone away... |

Memories of a lonely past
A boat set into the wind Drifting lost in waters of doubt On a journey that has no end Torn and faded photographs A chestful of old goodbyes Tear streaked faces by the light of the moon Here on a river of fools Here on a river of fools A trio of angels holding candles of light Guide the ship to an unknown shore Sad soul riders with arms drawn tight As they stopped for just one more Fingers pointed to a star in the sky A message from someone they can't see Tear streaked faces by the light of the moon Here on a river of fools Here on a river of fools Traveling along a cloudy path With a wing, a heart, and a prayer Pieces fall from the heavens above To a place they know not where A string of beads in trembling hands Heading close to the judgment day Tear streaked faces by the light of the moon Here on a river of fools Here on a river of fools |

We've got no money
But we've got our lives A voice that's louder than any picket sign Don't take away what is ours to keep This very land that lies beneath our feet Don't know about this mess we're in Bombs are bursting in a far off land Fire in the sky, a soldier takes his stand But who is to know about the rules that men make For what honor and for who's sake Don't know about this mess we're in The smoke is clearing and we see a light Coming together for a different fight All of us looking, finding our way again Out of this mess we're in She's walking the streets because she has no home All she has hangs on her flesh and bones Too many nights sleeping without a warm bed She passes by but they just turn their heads Don't know about this mess we're in Old man dying from too much drink Blood and glass laying in the bathroom sink No one stopped to read the words that he wrote Or care to hear to stories that he told Don't know about this mess we're in The smoke is clearing and we see a light Coming together for a different fight All of us looking, finding our way again Out of this mess we're in |

When it's up to you
To figure what's right and wrong It's someone else's parade And yours is an unhappy song When it hurts so bad And you feel you can't go on Each day goes by too fast And the nights are so very long You'll find out true What mother said to you The tears of God will show you the way The way to turn When your only escape Is a cheap nickel wine And the peace you need in your heart Is so very hard to find It's a stubborn life we lead And there's never no rest Trouble's out there looking for you Even when you try your best You'll find out true What mother said to you The tears of God will show you the way The way to turn Hide not your head The way to turn Hear what He once said He'll show you the way For there is a world for you and me Where the blind, too, can see Through the tears of God The Son of the Maker said "This is my cross to bear" Taking off of our shoulders Something we should have shared You'll find out true What mother said to you That tears of God will show you the way The way to turn |
