Some people are crazy about him
Some people can't stand his face Some people, they smile when they know he's coming Some people chase him out of the place But this loving kind of business Might make your poor heart glad Yes, this loving kind of business Might be the best find you ever had The best find you ever had Some people are crazy Some people are just plain good Some people talk wouldness and couldness Some people don't do as they should But this loving kind of business Might make your poor heart glad Yes, this loving kind of business Might be the best thing that you ever had The best find you ever had Some people got a glass eye Some people got a window to watch Some people draw conclusions like curtains Don't they draw them tight Don't they, draw them tight Don't they, draw them tight Don't they, draw them tight Some people are crazy about him Some people, they can't stand his face Some people, they laugh when they know he's coming Some people chase him out of the place Some people are crazy Some people are just like me Some people are crazy Some people are just like me |

You know I wished you all you wish yourself
It makes me feel so good to know you've found somebody else You want a word from me I'll give you two I mutter desperately darling As you say goodbye As I start to cry. Grace and danger Grace and danger, grace and danger Grace and danger, grace and danger. Sort of pretty in an ugly sort of way Jagging strokes and hustling folks every live long day My heart goes out to you I think of me I mutter desperately darling As they say goodbye Let me wish you as you fly. Grace and danger Grace and danger. I never knew the road that carried me along Crazy sidewalk, concealed by pretty song You want my life from me I'll give you two You'll be no strife for me As we say goodbye Let me wish you as you fly. Grace and danger Sweet grace No danger Sweet grace No danger Grace and danger |

What kind of love is this
Concealed behind your kiss What kind of love would try Behind a silent cry To come stealing in, with an innocent grin To leave you staring At the empty ceiling, feeling nothing Lookin' on I'm just lookin' on. My cynic friends maintain A low profile with a high disdain I think I'll try once more to make friends With the wolves that live at my door And come stealing in, with their innocent grin And leave me staring At the empty ceiling Feeling absolutely nothing Lookin' on Leave you Lookin' on, lookin' on Leave you Lookin' on. What kind of mood will change Or ease this subtle flame What warm and blissful rain Might doubt your trust again For that beautiful thing That once made my poor heart sing Beautiful thing It's never going to leave me Believe me now. Just lookin', just lookin' Just lookin', just lookin', just lookin' on Lookin' on, lookin' on, lookin' on Lookin' on, lookin' on, lookin' on. What kind of mind will find Such a strange and empty time Draw the finest line Between loving and being too cruel to be kind To let love come stealing in With an innocent grin Leave you staring at the empty ceiling Feeling nothing Just lookin' on, lookin' on, lookin' on Just lookin'; lookin', lookin'! What kind of love is this Concealed behind your kiss What kind of love would try Behind the silent cry to come stealing in, with an innocent grin To leave you staring At the empty ceiling, feeling nothing Just look: just lookin' on I'm just lookin' Just lookin' on. Lookin' on. |

Just that sweet little mystery that breaks my heart
Just that sweet little mystery makes me cry O that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try. My friends all tell me that I look so sad They don't need to ask me why They know the reason that I feel so bad Since the night you said goodbye It's not the letters that you just don't write It's not the arms of some new friend It's not the crying in the dead of the night That keeps me hanging on, waiting for the end. Just that sweet little mystery that's in your heart Just that sweet little mystery makes me cry Oh that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try. I watch the street, I watch the radio I don't need to turn it on Another friend comes by and tries to say hello Another weekend's almost gone It's not the letters that you just don't write It's not the arms of some new friend It's not the crying in the depth of the night That keeps me hanging on, just waiting for the end. It's that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me cry Oh that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try. The time is flying fast, and I don't care To spend another night alone I want to see you, but I don't know where Till then I'm walking on my own It's not the letters that you just don't write It's not the arms of some new friend It's not the crying in the depth of the night That keeps me hanging on, just waiting for the end. It's that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me cry Oh that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try. That sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me cry Oh that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try.

When that hurt in your heart has gone;
When that hurt in your heart has gone. When that hurt in your heart has gone, Give me a call. Darling, that's all that you have to do. Show me a sign; A word or a line, One stitch in time, To save this poor heart From breaking. When that hurt in your heart has gone; When that hurt in your heart has gone. When that hurt in your heart has gone, I'll still be your friend. Right to the end of forever And further still. This hurting will mend, And I hope you'll remember all the time; Hope you'll remember every line, Hope you'll remember All the love, all the love, all the love. {guitar solo} When that hurt in your heart has gone; When that hurt in your heart has gone. When that hurt in your heart has gone, Just say my name. You don't have to say it loud; I'll still feel the same And I'll still be true, Waiting for you To come sailing through, 'Cause you know you can. When that hurt in your heart has gone; When that hurt in your heart has gone. When that hurt in your heart has gone, Give me a call... |

Baby, please come home
Baby, please come home Baby baby, please, come home I'll try to put the things we've done Back where they belong And that's in the past I need our love to last. But I feel somehow to blame For the way our love has changed But please believe me I just can't stand to see you go And I swear that I don't know Just what made me hurt you so What made you want to go. Baby, please come home Baby, please come home Baby baby please, baby please, baby please, come home Try to put the things I said Right out of your head I didn't mean a single one Now you see what words have done. Baby, please come home Baby, please come home Baby please, baby please, baby please, baby please come home Try to put the things we've done Back where they belong That's in the past I need our love to last.

Oh baby, take a look
Take a look in your heart for me, baby Baby take a look, take a good look, baby Baby take a look in your heart. Our love Once was sweeter than the April rain But now I have to beg before you even say my name Our love Once was warmer than a summer's day And now I have to ask before you even want to look my way. People go talking People go talking around Putting us down, putting us down Putting us down, putting us down People go talking But they don't talk to me I know they just don't see. Our love Once was you and me against this world made a man from a boy and made a woman from a little girl Our love Once was deeper than the darkest blue could be Now I find I have to search my mind To find the smallest trace of you in me. Lovers part You can read about it can read about it every day Read about it every day Lovers part Then they just walk away. Our love Once was sweeter than the April rain to me Now I find I have to beg before you call my name Please call my name, please call my name, and Baby take a look, take a good look, baby Baby take a look in your heart Baby take a look, take a good look, baby Baby take a look in your heart Baby take a look, baby take a look Baby take a look in your heart for me Ah baby, please baby |

If you want to ride a rainbow, come with me,
I will take you to the magic purple sea. Maybe we will find a thousand sugar fish; When you eat them they will grant your every wish. And if you want your friends to come, Then bring them all along... If you want to catch a star then walk my way, I will take you where the night is always day. You can follow me if you really try; Maybe we will find a rainbow to teach it to fly. And if you want your friends to come, Then bring them all along... I will take you through the magic dancing wood, And I will take you where the goblins are all good. I will take you where the elfs and pixies do sing, And I will take you 'round the magic fairy ring. And if you want your friends to come, Then bring them all along... Bow your head and let your eyelids close on down. Where we're going you won't need to bring your frown: You will find that all the things that I have said Will come true when you are lying in your bed. And if you want your friends to come, Then bring them all along... |

Time after time, I held it,
Just to watch it die. Line after line, I loved it, Just to watch it cry. Bless the weather that brought you to me, Curse the storm that takes you away. Bless the weather that brought you to me, Curse the storm that takes you home. Wave after wave, I watched it, Just to watch it turn. Day after day, I cooled it, Just to watch it burn. Bless the weather that brought you to me, Curse the storm that takes you home. Bless the weather that brought you to me, Curse the storm that takes you away. Pain after pain I stood in, Just to see how it would feel. Rain after rain I stood in, Just to make it real. Bless the weather that brought you to me, Curse the day you go away. Bless the weather that brought you to me, Curse the storm that takes you away. Time after time, I held it, Just to watch it die. Line after line, I held it, Just to watch it cry. Bless the weather that brought you to me, Curse the storm that takes you away. Bless the weather that brought you to me, Curse the storm that takes you away. |

There's just no way to say how much I love you,
You never made me cry And that's just fine. Only got my fear, To put above you; You know we all get scared from time to time. Love me with your head and heart; Love me from the place it starts. Love me from your head and heart; Love me like a child. There's just no way to play the things I'm feeling; No way to tell you all the things you mean. Everyday I only feel like stealing, Away to where I know I can be clean. Love me with your head and heart; Love me from the place it starts. Love me from your head and heart; Love me when I'm wild. Laying down the ways to say I need you, Scared of looking tall and feeling small. Running through the days I have beside you, Scared of being wrong and that's it all. Love me with your head and heart; Love with your very self. Love me with your head and heart; Love me like a child. There's just no way to say how much I love you, You never made me cry And that's just fine. Only got my fate, A bird above you; You know we all get scared from time to time. Love me with your head and heart; Love me from the very start. Love me with your head and heart; Love me like a child. |

Here a fine line, there a fine line
Oh what a time we had Here a strange place, and there a strange face Doesn't it make you sad I will call up my friends and say Come on over, make my night or my day And talk about who's the finest folk in town. There a day's grace, here a night's space Oh what a lovely rhyme Take it from me, there is no disgrace In having yourself a time I will call up my friends and say Come on over and make my day And talk about the love that I know is in us all. Making the bread, going mad in the head I know when I'm going too far I want to get back, want to take up the slack Get where the good times are But I will call up all my friends and will say I will say: Come on over make my night or my day And we'll talk about who's the finest folk in town. Here a fine line, there a fine wine Oh what a time we had Here a strange place, there a strange face Didn't it make me sad I will call up my friends and say Now come on over and make my day And tell me about the love that's in us all.

If I ever took another woman
I was in my need for you If I ever took another woman I was bleeding for you Every day is another day to fly And every day is another way to cry. I get so low in this life I'm leading I can't tell right from wrong I get so deep in this book I'm reading I don't know the facts from a song But every day is another day to cry And every day is another way to fly. If I ever took another woman I was screaming for you If I ever took another woman I was dreaming of you And I won't beg, but I will have to try To stop you if you tried to say goodbye. If I ever took another woman I was trying for you If I ever took another woman I was crying for you Cause every day is another day to cry And every day is another way to fly. No little boy left, no little boy left No little boy... |

A thousand kisses flying home to you
A thousand kisses, two thousand miles from view Root love. A hotel room don't make it When I'm thinking about your face Cheap experience don't shake it Thinking about my place Root love, root love. And that Harvey's banging walls again And the paint job's wearing thin Got to feeling mean again Like momma drinking gin Root love. The bar looks so inviting Maybe one more Fanny Mae Maybe one more happy hour And another day away from Root love. Little boy blue lost again Telling others sorry tales Just one more sinking sunrise And two more crimson sails And root love. Well a hotel just don't make it When I'm thinking about your face Cheap experience don't shake it Thinking about my place Root love. A thousand kisses, root love. |

One day our laughter comes flowing with the rain
And on the very next day, our sorrow sees us crying again But darling: you can discover the lover in me I can discover the lover in thee Together we can roll and tumble until the cow come home. Sometimes our story's just too beautiful to tell Like the bells on a Sunday, blues on a Monday, go together well But darling: you can discover the lover in me I can discover the lover in thee Together we can rock and roll until the cow come home. Sometimes, some kind of sadness shows upon your face Sometimes, some kind of madness tries to take my place But darling: you can discover the lover in me And I can discover the lover in thee Together we can rock and roll until the cow come home. One day our laughter comes flowing with the rain And on the very next day our laughter sees us crying again But darling: you can discover the lover in me And I can discover the lover in thee I can discover the lover in thee You can discover the lover in me Together we can rock and roll until the cow come home |

This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover
As valiant a man as ever left home And he had been much reduced Which caused great confusion And that was the reason he started to roam. In Yorkshire near Rotherham, he had been on the ramble Weary of travelling, he sat down to rest By the foot of yon' mountain Lays a clear flowing fountain With bread and cold water he himself did refresh. With the night fast approaching, to the woods he resorted With wood, vine and ivy his bed for to make But he dreamt about sighing Lamenting and crying Go home to your family and rambling forsake. Twas the fifth day of November, I've reason to remember When first he arrived home to his family and friends And they did stand so astounded Surprised and dumbfounded To see such a stranger once more in their sight. And his children come around him with their prittle prattling stories With their prittle prattling stories to drive care away And he's as happy as those As have thousands of riches Contented he'll remain and not ramble away. This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover As valiant a man as ever left home And he had been much reduced And caused great confusion And that was the reason he started to roam |

When that hurt in your heart has gone. When that hurt in your heart has gone, Give me a call. Darling, that's all that you have to do. Show me a sign; A word or a line, One stitch in time, To save this poor heart From breaking. When that hurt in your heart has gone; When that hurt in your heart has gone. When that hurt in your heart has gone, I'll still be your friend. Right to the end of forever And further still. This hurting will mend, And I hope you'll remember all the time; Hope you'll remember every line, Hope you'll remember All the love, all the love, all the love. {guitar solo} When that hurt in your heart has gone; When that hurt in your heart has gone. When that hurt in your heart has gone, Just say my name. You don't have to say it loud; I'll still feel the same And I'll still be true, Waiting for you To come sailing through, 'Cause you know you can.

My friends all tell me that I look so sad They don't need to ask me why They know the reason that I feel so bad Since the night you said goodbye It's not the letters that you just don't write It's not the arms of some new friend It's not the crying in the dead of the night That keeps me hanging on, waiting for the end. Just that sweet little mystery that's in your heart Just that sweet little mystery makes me cry Oh that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try.

It's that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me cry Oh that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try. The time is flying fast, and I don't care To spend another night alone I want to see you, but I don't know where Till then I'm walking on my own It's not the letters that you just don't write It's not the arms of some new friend It's not the crying in the depth of the night That keeps me hanging on, just waiting for the end. It's that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me cry Oh that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try.

What happened to the fisherman's dream
When they rowed that last boat down What happened to the fisherman's dream When he cast his last net around. What happened to the fisherman's love When they drove him over the hill What happened to the fisherman's dream When they laid him in the ground. Tell me, did it fade away? Did it fade on down to the ocean Did it fade away Did it fade on down to the sea. What happened to the fisherman's love Was it nowhere to be found What happened to the love of the fisherman When they drove that last nail down. Tell me, did it fade away? Did it fade on down to the ocean Did it fade away Did it fade on down to the sea The ocean and the sea. Tell me, did it fade away?

Birds fly high There's a land that I dreamed of once In a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue And all the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true. Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Away, across the chimney tops Where troubles melt like lemon drops That's where you'll find me. Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high Birds fly over the rainbow Why, why can't I. Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Away, across the chimney tops Where troubles melt like lemon drops That's where you'll find me.

Just that sweet little mystery that breaks my heart
Just that sweet little mystery makes me cry O that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try. My friends all tell me that I look so sad They don't need to ask me why They know the reason that I feel so bad Since the night you said goodbye It's not the letters that you just don't write It's not the arms of some new friend It's not the crying in the dead of the night That keeps me hanging on, waiting for the end. Just that sweet little mystery that's in your heart Just that sweet little mystery makes me cry Oh that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try. I watch the street, I watch the radio I don't need to turn it on Another friend comes by and tries to say hello Another weekend's almost gone It's not the letters that you just don't write It's not the arms of some new friend It's not the crying in the depth of the night That keeps me hanging on, just waiting for the end. It's that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me cry Oh that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try. The time is flying fast, and I don't care To spend another night alone I want to see you, but I don't know where Till then I'm walking on my own It's not the letters that you just don't write It's not the arms of some new friend It's not the crying in the depth of the night That keeps me hanging on, just waiting for the end. It's that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me cry Oh that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try. That sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me cry Oh that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try.

When that hurt in your heart has gone;
When that hurt in your heart has gone. When that hurt in your heart has gone, Give me a call. Darling, that's all that you have to do. Show me a sign; A word or a line, One stitch in time, To save this poor heart From breaking. When that hurt in your heart has gone; When that hurt in your heart has gone. When that hurt in your heart has gone, I'll still be your friend. Right to the end of forever And further still. This hurting will mend, And I hope you'll remember all the time; Hope you'll remember every line, Hope you'll remember All the love, all the love, all the love. {guitar solo} When that hurt in your heart has gone; When that hurt in your heart has gone. When that hurt in your heart has gone, Just say my name. You don't have to say it loud; I'll still feel the same And I'll still be true, Waiting for you To come sailing through, 'Cause you know you can. When that hurt in your heart has gone; When that hurt in your heart has gone. When that hurt in your heart has gone, Give me a call... |

Oh baby, take a look
Take a look in your heart for me, baby Baby take a look, take a good look, baby Baby take a look in your heart. Our love Once was sweeter than the April rain But now I have to beg before you even say my name Our love Once was warmer than a summer's day And now I have to ask before you even want to look my way. People go talking People go talking around Putting us down, putting us down Putting us down, putting us down People go talking But they don't talk to me I know they just don't see. Our love Once was you and me against this world made a man from a boy and made a woman from a little girl Our love Once was deeper than the darkest blue could be Now I find I have to search my mind To find the smallest trace of you in me. Lovers part You can read about it can read about it every day Read about it every day Lovers part Then they just walk away. Our love Once was sweeter than the April rain to me Now I find I have to beg before you call my name Please call my name, please call my name, and Baby take a look, take a good look, baby Baby take a look in your heart Baby take a look, take a good look, baby Baby take a look in your heart Baby take a look, baby take a look Baby take a look in your heart for me Ah baby, please baby |

If I ever took another woman
I was in my need for you If I ever took another woman I was bleeding for you Every day is another day to fly And every day is another way to cry. I get so low in this life I'm leading I can't tell right from wrong I get so deep in this book I'm reading I don't know the facts from a song But every day is another day to cry And every day is another way to fly. If I ever took another woman I was screaming for you If I ever took another woman I was dreaming of you And I won't beg, but I will have to try To stop you if you tried to say goodbye. If I ever took another woman I was trying for you If I ever took another woman I was crying for you Cause every day is another day to cry And every day is another way to fly. No little boy left, no little boy left No little boy... |
