PW Now is the time, while the soft wind is blowing Now is the time, with the trees full of song now is the time, while the wild world is turning Lie down together in the green fields of summer Hoping winter never comes
NC Hold me right now with life all around us Hold me right now in the heat of the day Hold me right now this is our time together And the green fields of summer will be ours forever Hoping winter never comes
PW Please hold me close beside you Your eyes hold all the sky NC Hold sweet creation This day will never die Both Will never die
NC This is the time I will always remember This is the time I will feel 'til I go PW This is the time I will carry down with me When I'm lost and forgotten In the cold fields of winter when summer never comes
Both When I'm lost and forgotten In the cold fields of winter when summer never comes
When I'm past the boulevards Out here underneath the stars I've been flyin' past the houses, farms and fields
Leavin' all I know, back home Rushin' through the cold night air I'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel
Stayin' clear of the interstates I'm seekin' out these old two lanes And tryin' to explain the way I feel
'Til all at once it's half past three And it's down to the trust and me And I'm holdin' on to nothing but the wheel
I've been trying to drive you off my mind Let it that way be, I can leave it all behind
An' 41 goes on and on And the lights go winding in the dawn And the sky's the color now of polished steel
An' the only think I know for sure You don't want me anymore Then I'm holdin' on to nothing but the wheel
I've been trying to drive you off my mind An' let it that way baby, I can leave it all behind
And the only thing I know for sure Is that you don't want me anymore An' I'm holdin' on to nothing but the wheel An' I'm holdin' on to nothing but the wheel
Gettin' down old 41 An' 41 takes me on and on An' the lights go winding in the dawn An' I'm holdin' on in the corner, yeah
I'm holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on An' the only thing I know for sure Is you don't want me anymore An' I'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel
Peter Wolf (PW) and Shelby Lynne (SL) PW I think I won the fool's award today The way I made my baby cry I can't believe the stupid things I said Well I know one good reason why I know that life has got its ups and downs I could take whatever comes around But if you ever take your love from me Now that would be the tragedy

There's some thing on my mind the way you loved me once upon a time Love is always young and hot and blind Then it leaves us all behind
One day lovers lie apart Love gone cold will chill their heart Why do we ever start?

"You know some people are always runnin' away from love. Huh, I guess I've been doin' that for a long, long, long, long time. And when I first met you at Audrey's house, well heck, you know I didn't think much about it. But then I realized you were lookin' at me, and I was lookin' at you. And you were lookin' at me, and I was lookin' at you. And all of the sudden we were lookin' at each other together. But baby, now I realize lovers can never say goodbye. So I was a fool, girl, to let you walk away. I didn't care why I thought I'd find somebody else. So, I told you girl, you go on and do your own thing. Now after a while I realize the mistakes I made. You know I can't take back the words I said, and I can't undo the things I've done. But tonight, you know tonight, I'm sittin' here in the kitchen rappin' at the dog, sittin' all alone in my underwear with a cold bologna sandwich and a confused, confused heart. And let me tell you something. Oh, listen"
Call me, oh call me girl I'm so lonely here
(Overnight highs, overnight lows, walking around, nowhere to go) I got nowhere to go, girl (Overnight highs, overnight lows,hobblin' down to the end of the road)
Oh darlin', I can't find no love anymore (no love anymore) Here I am, I'm waiting So call me, oh call me
"But here I am, sittin' in the same old place we always used to go. You know I tired to call you three or four times. It's getting kinda late, parking lot's empty (1 o'clock), you know they're puttin' all the chairs on top of the tables (2 o'clock). Yeah, they're sweepin' up the floor (3 o'clock). I'm waitin' for you baby. Are you gonna call me? (4 o'clock) Ohhhhh, are you coming baby? (5 o'clock) (6 o'clock) It ain't feelin' so good, yeah."
(Overnight highs, overnight lows, walking around, nowhere to go) I got nowhere to go, girl (Overnight highs, overnight lows,hobblin' down to the end of the road)
"Yeah, I'm still waiting for you, baby. I thought I'd put on some French cologne and I'd check out my astrological forcast. You know I'm a Pisces. We get kinda sensitive at times, but tonight the signs say you're in for some good witchins. Give me a little bit of love candle, put it all around my room. Fill the water bed. You and me, man, get a little hot oil, do a little rub a dub dub dub dub. Put a little of that Grateful Dead on, we'll jam, baby. We'll jam all night long just you and me. Holding each other. I'm talking about ecstasy. We'll be rubbin' a little oil over our tushes. Oh baby. Hold it man, what is this? I never felt that on you before. Holy damn, no wonder. What happened? Wait a second..."
I was downtown last night, late last night Man, she was kinda cool, damn, got me on the blast Stars up above, yeah, take a little shove High heel love ain't gonna last
Everything I do gonna be funky from now on, yeah Everything I do gonna be funky from now on
I can be myself, I can do my thing A little soul can't do no harm, yeah
Everything I do gonna be funky from now on, oh Everything I do gonna be funky from now on
Now listen to me Confusion in mind makes me want to shout I walk around the streets like the odd man out I got bing, bang, bing, bang do it all night, then Honey, gonna get it down, do it just right
Sock it up, shoot it down Sock it up, shoot it down, yeah
Everything, everything, everything I said everything
Make coogly mogey, gonna do it all night, yeah Everything I do gonna be funky from now on, yeah Everything I do gonna be funky from now on Everything I do gonna be funky from now on Everything I do gonna be funky from now on
I pour the wine, I write the lines To bring you back to me I walk through the rhymes And think of the times When your love ran through me
The night comes down You hit me so hard It makes me feel Like I played my last card The night comes down Wherever you are And I need you (and I need you)
I get through the day, I make my way I try not to stumble The shadows grow long, things go wrong My world starts to crumble
And the night come down
There is no salvation for the wonded heart I stare into darkness until I come apart Oh, yeah
Oh, I get through these days I try not to stumble The shadows grow long
(The night comes down) The night comes down (The night comes down) The night comes down (The night comes down) The night comes down (The night comes down) (Hey, hey, hey, hey) The night comes down (The night comes down) (Hey, hey, hey, hey) Oh, yeah (Hey, hey, hey, hey) (On my my my way) I'll make my way (On my my my way) (On my my my way) The night comes down (On my my my way) Oh, I'll make my way (I'll find my way) I'll make my way (I'll find my way) (I'll find my way)
PW Lovers, two by two on the avenue Such a beautiful sight to see But as they pass me by It makes me wanna cry 'Cause I know it's too late for me
MH It seems so long ago When someone loved me so And we we were both Both so young and so free I though I still could see How good life used to be And I know it's too late for me
PW But days go by, the days go by And there's a heartache I can't ease
Both The nights come on I'm all alone
MH With just my precious memoris
PW Now to me it seems I've always lived in dreams Of how how I wanted my, my life to be
MH I wait 'til mornin' cold There's nothin' left to hold 'Cause I know it's too late for me
PW I wait 'til mornin' cold There's nothin' left to hold 'Cause I know it's too late for me
