This story ends bloodshed The face I love The city I'm from The persons I've met The persons I've let down But a hero never turns around It's nice to see you're moving on I know it's hard to carry on But it's just never what it was In the Beginning
How did this start And where did we begin In a ball of fire And stars and suns And that brings me here now Where my heart's caving in A tornado whips in around the poles And it's raining It's nice to see you're moving on I know it's hard to carry on But it's just never what it was In the Beginning
If you're down and confused And you don't remember who you're talking too Concentration slips away Cause you're baby is so far away CHORUS Well there's a rose in the fisted glove And eagle flies with the dove And if you can't be with the one you love honey Love the one you're with Don't be angry - don't be sad Don't sit crying over good times you've had There's a girl right next to you And she's just waiting for something to do CHORUS Doo doo doo doo Turn your heartache right into joy Cause she's a girl and you're a boy Get it together come on make it nice You ain't gonna need anymore advice CHORUS Doo doo doo doo From: Barney Martin
Round, round, up and down All along the lonely town See him sinkin' low Doesn't see the joy there is to know
And he cries from the misery And he lies singin' harmony She is gone there is no tomorrow It is done so now here must borrow The life of his brothers And living in sorrow Must do for the others
A chill wind hits his face Was that a tear I thought I saw a trace? Loving people everywhere Where is she? She is not there
And he cries from the misery And he lies singin' harmony She is gone there is no tomorrow It is done so now here must borrow The life of his brothers And living in sorrow Must do for the others
You see, it's my thing To be part of someone As a true friend is part of me You know that there's so much Oh, little girl, we've got to tell each other About the whole world And most especially one another, oh yeah, all right And you know, and you know?
And it's hard, yes it is It's hard, yes it is And I wonder I wonder could it be a dream?
And you know that the self made man, babe Is truly shallow He knows he's no one But who he wants to be So while you still sing, baby You got to tell me, baby Is it your thing to be part of anyone? Anyone, anyone
And it's hard, yes it is It's hard, yes it is And I wonder I wonder could it be a dream?
And it's hard, yes it is It's hard, yes it is And I wonder I wonder could it be a dream?
And it's hard, yes it is It's hard, yes it is And I wonder I wonder if it's a dream And it's now, children, could it be a dream?
Been on the road too long Most of these changes should be past And gone Clarify my position Must be some kind of fool I'm a musician I got nothin' to do but today Already on my way Goodbye. I can't stop to say Just quietly slip away And lose myself it's the only way I got nothin' to do but today You think I'm not myself You're confusing me with somebody else I'm not so easily deceived I am a blues man, I know when to leave I got nothin' to do but today
Think I'll go back home Think I'll go back home Think I'll go back home Back where I belong Think I'll go back home
Nothin' for me here Nothin' for me here, Child, no there ain't Nothin' for me here People trapped by fear And you can't get near
Lived with you I felt Lived with you I felt, child Lived with you I felt I was by myself I was someone else
Babe, come home with me Babe, come home with me now Babe, come home with me And I'll make you see Yes, I'm gonna set you free
When I woke up this morning I found that I was alone, yeah 'Til I called your number They told me there's no one home again Baby, what does it mean? Is it like it seems?
When I get restless, what can I do? When I need someone, I think about you I got to move on, not fade away I'm only just growin' a little each day
(Hold it) I got to quit this runnin' 'round (Hold it) Never gonna get rid of these blues (Hold it) I got to find somebody to love (Hold it) Slow me down, yeah (My, what a time) Look out now
Sit yourself down, take a look around Sit yourself down, take a look around Sit yourself down, take a look around Sit yourself down, take a look around
When I get older, mellow down Get myself settled on a patch of ground Takin' it easy, live every day Me and the raven, we make our way
(Hold it) I got to quit this runnin' 'round (Hold it) I'm never gettin' rid of these blues (Hold it) I got to find somebody to (Hold it) Make me slow down, yeah (My, what a time) Look out
Sit yourself down, take a look around Sit yourself down, take a look around Sit yourself down, take a look around Sit yourself down, take a look around Sit yourself down, take a look around Sit yourself down, take a look around Sit yourself down, take a look around Sit yourself down, take a look around Sit yourself down, take a look around
Drawn to a flame She is far away Out of reach Will she burn her wings I can only watch Out of touch Out of my mind
I wish I could tell If she's alright Feeling fine It's lucky for me I'm not a jealous man Out of hand Out of my mind
When this party's over Over I will loose her To another
Get yourself someone And then wave goodbye Don't you cry Go ahead break your heart But don't fall apart It's like saying goodbye To friends for the first time
Black Queen, holding hearts Black Queen, tear the game apart Black Queen, don't you know Can't beat aces all in a row Black Queen, no you can't Have mercy Black Queen Don't you go mess with your Black Queen, no
Black Queen, you see the whole hand Black Queen, where's your black man? Black Queen, if he ain't in the hole Black Queen, you got some more to show me Black Queen Oh get on me Black Queen Oh Lord have mercy Black Queen She come to beat me clean
Black Queen, where's your bank roll? Black Queen, where did it go? Black Queen, the truth is hard Black Queen, you're playing foolish cards Black Queen
In my short time I've loved, I've shined And now I find All my lovin' just been blind Southern girl, come on You and me babe, gotta move on My fortunes mean nothing I never cared about fame The dark eyed Cherokee Like the raven she knows me The secret she keeps Like her soul so deep Nothin' 'round here get to me Like the lady from Tennessee Like the lady from Tennessee
We are not helpless we are men What lies between us It can be set aside and ended
Everyday we learn more how to hate Shut the door And then we'll tell ourselves we can't relate
Only to the ones who are the same Yet even they are different And ever so they shall remain
All are strangers, all are friends, all are brothers Open up my friend and learn to hear For even lying When it has nothing you should fear
If you cannot let yourself be Known by anyone Then you are hiding and not whole All are strangers, all are friends, all are brothers
We your children we would ask you all Please do not hide your eyes And listen when we will call We will whisper shout or make a scene
We are the answer For we can live the peace we dream All are strangers, all are friends, all are brothers Oh yeah, oh yeah
Yes America's children Are askin' everybody some questions about how it is Yes America's children Are makin' it hard to look them in the eyes whoa it is
America's children Are makin' it hard to live lies you know whoa it is And America's children are diggin' that everywhere children Are diggin' we live on the earth
We live on the earth we live on the earth right now Yes, and it's right on children of the earth and it's right on Children of the earth and it's right on Children of the earth and it's right on right on, yeah
This is what has made our nation free For life is change And only blind men cannot see
The new order is upon us now it is the children They have the wisdom to be free All are strangers, all are friends, all are brothers
I thought I knew you, but I did not know few months ago Right down the wrong road, leading to the past I know you're trying, rearrange your mind But when you're lying, do you laugh in my face?
Turn back, turn back the pages Who remembers names, who remembers faces Turn back, don't drive yourself crazy Life's too short for ritualistic chases
Maybe tomorrow, find the time to cry And in your sorrow, see the mirror never lie Just like the last time, you try to pull me down You are the past time and you're blind and death to sound
So turn back, turn back the pages Who remembers names, who remembers faces Turn back don't drive yourself crazy Life's too short for repetitious changes
Turn back, turn back Turn back, turn back, turn back
No use denying, you wasted time And caused the crying, bitterness to hide Just trying to prove, don't need nobody else But you're bound to lose, lying to yourself
Turn back, turn back the pages Who remembers names, who remembers faces Turn back, turn back don't drive yourself crazy Life's too short for ritualistic chases
Turn back, turn back Turn back, turn back Turn back, turn back ...
My angel there she goes Where she comes from Nobody knows She came walkin' quiet as a bird, walkin' softly With a good word
And who was I talkin' to Soon I must see for myself New love don't run away I don't think you understand How deeply you touch me
My angel callin' me soft and low Love me gentle I've suffered and Fallen so low Can I try and love you best I can Take good care of you be your man
Who was I talkin' to Soon she will see for herself New love don't run away I think she now understands How deeply she touches me
My angel will she go Will she move on I just don't know If it happens that She has to go I'll be sorry but I can say that I did know My angel yes I did I knew my angel
Believin' in you is believin' in me All the same circle game that makes us feel free So much behind us so much to do Some days you eat the bear Some days the bear eats you
[Chorus] Nothin' to worry 'bout But the worries That you make up yourself
Christopher's watching me carefully now Wonderin' who I am listenin' to the sound He knows the best and the worst of me now I don't think I could go on if I let him down
[Chorus]
So my love do the things you got to do Never have to be afraid, I'm always with you Believin' in me and you like Christopher does Believin' is the magic that makes one from the two of us
As I come of age I keep fallin' down And I feel just like a schoolboy I was in a senseless rage Runnin' too hard And I tore you all to pieces
Yes but it's all over now I'm a little bit older now The lessons that I'm learning now Gonna make it easy Somehow
Now then can I try Starting over Put the pieces back together Even as I cry bitter tears I can see it's all a puzzle A game Always the same
By the time I die with the passing If I've sorted out my changes And if you could take the time I would tell you that it's still a puzzle The same Always a game
