How many roads must a man walk down Before you call him a man How many seas must the white dove sail Before she can sleep in the sand * The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind Yes, and how many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky Yes, and how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry *Repeat Well, how many years can a mountain exist Before it is washed to the sea And how many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free *Repeat |

They say every thing must be replaced
They say every distance is not near Yet I remember every face of every man who put me here I see my light come shining From the west down to the east Any day now, any way now I shall be released They say every man needs protection They say that every man must fall Yet I swear I see my reflection somewhere so high above this wall I see my light come shining From the west down to the east Any day now, any way now I shall be released Standin next to me in this lonely crowd A man who swears he's not to blame All day long I hear him shoutin so loud Cryin' out that he was framedAny day now, any way now I shall be released |

The guilty undertaker sighs
The lonely organ grinder cries The silver saxophones say I should refuse you The cracked bells and washed-out horns Blow into my face with scorn But it's not that way I wasn't born to lose you I want you, I want you Oh so bad Baby, I want you Once a politician leaves Upon the street where mothers weep The saviours who are fast asleep They wait for you And I wait for them to interrupt Me drinkin from my broken cup And askin me to open up the gate for you Woh baby I want you I want you I want you Oh, so bad Baby I want you Now all my fathers, they've gone down True love they've been without it But all their daughters put me down 'Cause I don't think about it Baby I want you Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit He spoke to me, I took his flute No, I wasn't very cute to him now was I I did it because he lied Because he took you for a ride And because time was on his side And because I want you, baby I want you I want you |

Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand here in the rain Everybody knows that baby's got new clothes But lately I see her ribbons and her bows Have fallen from her curls Oh, she takes just like a woman Yes she does And she makes love just like a woman Yes she does And she aches just like a woman Yeah, but she breaks just like a little girl Mary, she's my friend Yes, I believe I'll go see her again Nobody has to guess That baby can't be blessed 'Til she finally sees that she's like all the rest With her fog, her amphetamines and her pearls It was rainin from the first I was dyin of thirst So I came in here And your longtime curse Hurts but what's worse Is this pain in here I can't stay in here Ain't it clear I just can't fit Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit When we meet again, introduced as friends Please don't let on that you knew me when I was hungry and it was your world |

Oh the time will come up
When the winds will stop And the breeze will cease to be a breezin Like the stillness in the wind For the hurricane begins The hour when the ship comes in Oh the seas will split And the ship will hit And the shoreline sands will be shaken Then the tide will sound and the wind will pound And the morning will be breakin Oh the fishes will laugh As they swim out of the path And the seagulls they'll be smilin And the rocks on the sand Will proudly stand The hour that the ship comes in And the words they use For to get the ship confused Will not be understood as they are spoken For the chains of the sea Will have busted in the night And be buried at the bottom of the ocean verse 2 A song will lift as the main sail shifts And the boat drifts onto the shoreline And the sun will respect every face on the deck The hour when the ship comes in Then the sands will roll out a carpet of gold For your weary toes to be a touchin And the ships wise men will remind you once again That the whole wide world is watchin |

With every thought of you, I wanna shout aloud And then I think about the love I had inside me How you brought what's inside out So now love's made it to the outside I wanna tell the world of everything I've found Somehow your love released a spring wound up inside me You've turned my living upside-down And I can't tell the bottom from the top Am I standing on my head or on my heels? Is it cloudy is it bright? Is it day or is it night? Am I wrong or am I right? And is it real? Tell me where you learned the magic The spell you used the day you made me fall Baby, now I know that love is no illusion I'm upside-down but ten feet tall And I can't tell the bottom from the top Am I standing on my head or on my heels? Is it cloudy is it bright? Is it day or is it night? Am I wrong or am I right? And is it real? On and on I drifted with the tide I didn't know that love could move me so You filled my life with love and much more besides And you showed me which way to go And I can't tell the bottom from the top Am I standing on my head or on my heels? Is it cloudy is it bright? Is it day or is it night? Am I wrong or am I right? And is it real? And I can't tell the bottom from the top Am I standing on my head or on my heels?

Have you ever wondered why Whenever thing goes wrong Nobody stops to lend a hand Nobody seems to care When she looks you in the eye And suddenly you're strong And very soon you realize That you didn't care about love Listen to me I'll sing a song to change your mind Your ears are deaf, your mouth is dumb, your eyes are blind Listen to me and very soon I think you'll find Somebody wants to help you, somebody seems to care And very soon you've forgotten that you didn't care about love Does it hurt to realize You've been acting very strange Refusing to take the love she gives Pretending you don't care Did it take you by surprise To discover how you'd changed How you forgot to remember That you didn't care about love Listen to me I'll sing a song to change your mind Your ears are deaf, your mouth is dumb, your eyes are blind Listen to me and very soon I think you'll find Somebody wants to help you, somebody seems to care And very soon you've forgotten That you didn't care about love Listen to me I'll sing a song to change your mind Your ears are deaf, your mouth is dumb, your eyes are blind Listen to me and very soon I think you'll find Somebody wants to help you, somebody seems to care And very soon you've forgotten That you didn't care about love You didn't care about love You didn't care about You didn't care about You didn't care about love |

Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI Sitting in a nest of bad men Whiskey bottles piling high Bootlegging boozer on the west side Full of people who are doing wrong Just about to call up the DA man When I heard this woman singing a song A pair of 45's made me open my eyes My temperature started to rise She was a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5'9" beautiful tall With just one look I was a bad mess 'Cause that long cool woman had it all Woo! I saw her head up to the table With a tall walking big black cat Well, Charlie said "I hope that you're able, boy 'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at" When suddenly we heard the sirens And everybody started to run I jumped down and across the table When I heard somebody shooting a gun Well, the DA was pumping my left hand And then she was a-holding my right Well, I told her "Don't get scared 'Cause you're gonna be spared" Well I've gotta be forgiven If I wanna spend my living With a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5'9" beautiful tall Well, with just one look I was a bad mess 'Cause that long cool woman had it all Had it all, had it all Had it all, had it all Had it all, had it all |

See the girl with cymbals on her fingers
Entering through the door Ruby glistening from her navel Shimmering around the floor Bells on feet go ting-a ling-a-linging Going through my head Sweat is falling just-a like-a tear drops Running from her head Now she's dancing, going through the movements Swaying to and fro Body moving, bringing back a memory Thoughts of long ago Blood is rushing, temperature is rising Sweating from my brow Like a snake, her body fascinates me I can't look away now Stop, stop, stop all the dancing Give me time to breathe Stop, stop, stop all the dancing Or I'll have to leave Now she's moving all around the tables Luring all in sight But I know that she cannot see me Hidden by the light Closer, closer, she is getting nearer Soon she'll be in reach As I enter into a spotlight She stands lost for speech Stop, stop, stop all the dancing Give me time to breathe Stop, stop, stop all the dancing Or I'll have to leave Stop, stop, stop all the dancing Give me time to breathe Stop, stop, stop all the dancing Or I'll have to leave Now I hold her, people are staring Don't know what to think And we struggle knocking over tables Spilling all the drinks Can't they understand that I want her? Happens every week Heavy hand upon my collar Throws me in the street Stop, stop, stop all the dancing Give me time to breathe Stop, stop, stop all the dancing Or I'll have to leave |

If I could make a wish
I think I'd pass Can't think of anything I need No cigarettes, no sleep No light, no sound Nothing to eat, no books to read Making love with you Has left me peaceful, warm, and tired What more could I ask? There's nothing left to be desired Peace came upon me, and it leaves me weak So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe And to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Yes, to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Peace came upon me, and it leaves me weak So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe And to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Yes, to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe And to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Yes, to love you All I need is the air that I breathe And to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Yes, to love you All I need is the air that I breathe |

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
"Please share my umbrella" Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows Under my umbrella All that summer, we enjoyed it Wind and rain and shine That umbrella, we employed it By August, she was mine Every morning, I would see her waiting at the stop Sometimes she'd shop, and she would show me what she bought All the people stared as if we were both quite insane Someday my name and hers are going to be the same That's the way the whole thing started Silly but it's true Thinkin' of a sweet romance Beginning in a queue Came the sun, the ice was melting No more sheltering now Nice to think that that umbrella Led me to a vow Every morning, I would see her waiting at the stop Sometimes she'd shop, and she would show me what she bought All the people stared as if we were both quite insane Someday my name and hers are going to be the same Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say "Please share my umbrella" Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows Under my umbrella All that summer, we enjoyed it Wind and rain and shine That umbrella, we employed it By August, she was mine |

And every time I get to thinkin'
With every thought of you, I wanna shout aloud And then I think about the love I had inside me How you brought what's inside out So now love's made it to the outside I wanna tell the world of everything I've found Somehow your love released a spring wound up inside me You've turned my living upside-down And I can't tell the bottom from the top Am I standing on my head or on my heels? Is it cloudy is it bright? Is it day or is it night? Am I wrong or am I right? And is it real? Tell me where you learned the magic The spell you used the day you made me fall Baby, now I know that love is no illusion I'm upside-down but ten feet tall And I can't tell the bottom from the top Am I standing on my head or on my heels? Is it cloudy is it bright? Is it day or is it night? Am I wrong or am I right? And is it real? On and on I drifted with the tide I didn't know that love could move me so You filled my life with love and much more besides And you showed me which way to go And I can't tell the bottom from the top Am I standing on my head or on my heels? Is it cloudy is it bright? Is it day or is it night? Am I wrong or am I right? And is it real? And I can't tell the bottom from the top Am I standing on my head or on my heels?

If I were the sun, way up there I'd roll around almost anywhere Oh, I'd be the moon when the sun goes down Just to let you know, I'm still around That's how strong my love is, oh That's how strong my love is, baby, baby That's how strong my love is, yeah That's how strong my love is I'd be the weeping willow, drown in my tears You could go swimming whenever you're near Oh, I'd be the rainbow when tears are gone Wrap you in my colors, keep you warm chorus I'd be the ocean so deep and so wide I'd shed your tears whenever you'd cry I'd be the breeze when the storms are gone And dry your eyes and keep you warm That's how strong love is, yeah That's how strong my love is, baby, baby That's how strong love is, listen to me know That's how strong my love is verse 3 chorus |

If I could make a wish
I think I'd pass Can't think of anything I need No cigarettes, no sleep No light, no sound Nothing to eat, no books to read Making love with you Has left me peaceful, warm, and tired What more could I ask? There's nothing left to be desired Peace came upon me, and it leaves me weak So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe And to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Yes, to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Peace came upon me, and it leaves me weak So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe And to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Yes, to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe And to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Yes, to love you All I need is the air that I breathe And to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Yes, to love you All I need is the air that I breathe |

When you love somebody that means a lot And so you give the best of what you've got It's a reason for living to have someone Without a love in your life you can't go on You need love I need love When you're tired and worn out she'll run to you And calm your restlessness and comfort you You need love I need love No wonder that I always say I can't live another day without you I tell my friends I'm feeling fine then they know that I'm not lying about you All your life you'll know that your trust was right when you're holding her close to you at night You need love I need love |

I don't wanna hear your love song I got on this aeroplane just to fly and I know there's life below me but all that you can show me is the prairie and the sky And I don't wanna hear a sad story Full of heartbreak and desire the last time I felt like this I was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire And I stood on the mountain in the night and I watched it burn I watched it burn, I watched it burn I would rock my soul In the bosom of Abraham I would hold my life In his saving grace I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham If I thought I could see I could see your face Well, you really got me this time And the hardest part is knowin I'll survive I've come to listen for the sound of the trucks as they go down Out on ninety-five And pretend that it's the ocean Comin down to wash me clean to wash me clean Baby do ya know what I mean chorus x3 |

If you know you're right when the others are wrong it's hard to sit and take it They treat you like you've lost your senses Call you troublemaker I'm not trying to cause you trouble I don't wanna fight Someone's got to stand up sometime and do what's right Just have the courage of the courage of your convictions People tell you do what's right and set and good example Sometimes right means who to hate Listen to the people I'm not trying to mess your mind up but it's plain to see People pulling from both sides it's agitating me So have the courage of the courage of your convictions People teaming up on sides hating one another Know your heart before you join a team to hurt your brother If there's a way to lead us from this like in troubled times it won't be found through blood and hate but through courageous minds chorus |

Nearly done my time, my life will be mine once again The distant past so far behind and I hope there hasn't been many changes 'cos I haven't seen my island for such a long time Oh oh oh oh, I want to breathe the air that's free Oh oh oh oh, I want to feel the warm sand beneath my feet And the sun on my face, yeah Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Couldn't say goodbye through no fault of mine to my loved ones But sent a message through from my first port of call I was pressed into time by the men from the line They didn't tell me where I was going And I haven't seen my island in such a long time Oh oh oh oh, I've sailed upon the seven seas Oh oh oh oh, you wouldn't believe the things I've seen When I get home I'll tell you Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Couldn't say goodbye through no fault of mine to my loved ones But sent a message through from my first port of call I was pressed into time by the men from the line They didn't tell me where I was going And I haven't seen my island in such a long time Sailing on a summer breeze, going back to my island Nearly done my time, my life will be mine once again The distant past so far behind and I hope there hasn't been many changes 'cos I haven't seen my island for such a long time Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh |

I wasn't there (I wasn't there) When I was needed (I wasn't there) I was out on the road Playing with my rock and roll band (I wasn't there) I should have been right by her side Like a good man ought to be But this rock'n'roll music sure gotta hold on me I wasn't there (I wasn't there) When my shack was burning (I wasn't there) I was out on the road playing with my rock'n'roll band (I wasn't there) While someone else put out the fire I was wailing my guitar Somehow this rock'n'roll music sure got a hold on me Somewhere I know, I sold my soul Sold it to the devil or the king of rock'n'roll Once I found out, what the music was all about Picked up my baggage And I joined in a big rock show I knew that I had to go I wasn't there (I wasn't there) There for my wedding (I wasn't there) I was back on the road Playing with my rock and roll band (I wasn't there) But when I came off stage that night I found her waiting patiently, good girl She knows that rock'n'roll music sure got a hold Rock'n'roll music sure got a hold She knows that rock'n'roll music sure got a hold on me |

Evening, I see the sun Leaving today Cool night, mellow light Don't fade away Your eyes, paradise What do they say Leaving, loving Stay one more day And after all the tears have fallen my way You'd think that we could never feel the same Love is strange Pick up the pieces again Long time, friend of mine Words of farewell Love is, the learning I knew you well And after all the tears have fallen my way You'd think that we could never feel the same Love is strange Pick up the pieces again Pick up the pieces |

Take me home Sailing on with Romany To and fro on a icy morning Feeling calm to have an old friend 'round Feeling warm to see the wind blow down Take me home where saints and children laughing Tell the Dutchman ships are passing Feeling safe to reach the harbor sound Feeling warm to see the wind blow down Take me home Leave the galley sailors talking Leave the bridge and captain's walking Feeling naked on the covered ground Feeling warm to see the wind blow down The wind blowed down in the moonless light the sea was dark the breeze was light Everyone's thoughts were their own Caught by the ocean thief The bow hit on a coral reef Romany sank like a stone chorus verse 1 |
