Wounded World
So you're goin' out on your own
And you're finally leaving home
You'll be alright, just watch out for your spirit
You're gonna find that you're alone
Makin' choices of your own
Like a ship at sea, your life goes where you steer it
It's a wounded world
Full of love and lies
It's a wounded world
But you cannot be denied
If you mean it when you try
In this wounded world
Sometimes, hurtin' bad, you're ready t'give up
Can't help, (can't believe, you know, you) used you like a drug
We had similar adventures, never closed the door
Part of me is part of you
I can't tell you any more
'Bout this wounded world
I don't mean to sound so cynical
But it truly is a miracle
That your heart turned out so good midst all this game child
Put your faith in them that earn it
With your love you will discern it
But don't judge nobody never! out of anger
Well it's a wounded world
Full of love and lies
It's a wounded world
But you cannot be denied
When you mean it, if you try
In this wounded world
It's a wounded world, wounded world

Wounded World
So you're goin' out on your own

It's a wounded world

Well I came across a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him tell where are you going
This he told me

Well I am going down to Yasgur's farm
Going to join in a rock and roll band
Goin' to get back to the land to set my soul free

We are stardust, we are golden
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden

Well then can I walk beside you
I have come to lose the smog
And I feel like I'm a cog in something turning
And maybe it's the time of year
Yes and maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life is for learning

We are stardust, we are golden
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden

By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers jet planes
Riding shotgun in the sky
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation.

We are stardust, we are golden
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden

Well I came across a child of God
He was walking along the road

If you smile at me, I will understand
'Cause that is something everybody everywhere does
in the same language.

I can see by your coat, my friend,
you're from the other side,
There's just one thing I got to know,
Can you tell me please, who won?

Say, can I have some of your purple berries?

Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now,
haven't got sick once.

Probably keep us both alive.

Wooden ships on the water, very free and easy,
Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be,
Silver people on the shoreline, let us be,
Talkin' 'bout very free and easy...
Horror grips us as we watch you die,
All we can do is echo your anguished cries,
Stare as all human feelings die,
We are leaving - you don't need us.

Go, take your sister then, by the hand,
lead her away from this foreign land,
Far away, where we might laugh again,
We are leaving - you don't need us.

And it's a fair wind, blowin' warm,
Out of the south over my shoulder,
Guess I'll set a course and go...

Stills: If you smile at me, I will understand
'Cause that is something everybody everywhere does
in the same language.
Crosby: I can see by your coat, my friend,
you're from the other side,
There's just one thing I got to know,
Can you tell me please, who won?
Stills: Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
Crosby: Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now,

by Stephen Stills

I was lost in a voyage at sea
I was waiting for you and me
To remember just how it was
So that we can sing together
When will you realize
I got one of your stronger
And I know we can work it
I know we can work it work it out
together
But look hiding behind the walls
Closing doorways to the hall
Nothing ventured nothing gained
What's your game
Just take a look at that blackened tree
It is not for the cause of me
But a stranger was passed there long
And he stepped right in-between us
Picture of empty places
Eyes of reflecting faces
Now your fast emptiness
Now you can see what the fear does
You go hiding behind walls
We can tear away the wall
Change the shutters from the hall
Never voices as that are called
Then you're singing that is all
And the reason for the game
Becomes clearly quite a statement
That's what you get for playing your game

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
...

I want to know how it will be
Me and her or you and me
You both stand there with your long hair flowing
Your eyes alive, your minds are still growing
Saying to me what can we do now that we
Both love you I love you too
I don't really see, why can't we go on as three
You are afraid, embarrased too, no one has ever
Said such a thing to you
Your mother's ghost stands at you shoulder
A face like ice a little bit colder
Saying to you
You can not do that it breaks alll the rules
You learned in school
I don't really see, why can't we go on as three
We love each other it's plain to see
There's just one answer comes to me
Sister lovers water brothers
And in time maybe others
So you see what we can do
If we try something new - if you're crazy too
I don't really see, why can't we go on as three

I could be a rambler from the seven dials
I don't pay taxes 'cause I never file
I don't do business that don't make me smile
I love my aeroplane 'cause she's got style
I'm a treetop flyer

I will fly any cargo you can pay to run
these bush league pilots just can't get the job done
Got to fly down into the canyons, never see the sun
There's no such thing as an easy run
For a treetop flyer

I'm flyin' low, I'm in high demand
Fly fifteen feet off the Rio Grande
I'll blow the mesquite right up off the sand
Seldom seen, especially when I land
I'm a treetop flyer
Born Survivor

People been asking me, "Where'd you learn to fly that way?"
Was over in Vietnam, chasin' NVA
The government taught me, and they taught me right,
Stay under the treeline, and you might be alright
I'm a treetop flyer

So I'm comin' home, I'm runnin' low and fast
I promised my woman this is gonna be my last
I get the ship down, I tie her fast
then some old boy walks up, says "Hey son, you wanna make some fast cash?"
I'm a treetop flyer

Well there's things I am, and there's things I'm not
I am a smuggler and I could get shot
Aint going to die, I ain't goin' to get caught,
'Cause I'm a flyin' fool and my aeroplane is just too hot
I'm a treetop flyer
Born survivor

Usually work alone

I'm out on the street
All alone by the newsstand
The lady of leisure comes tearin' by
Almost knocking me down

She turns at the corner and looking back
Lets her eyes send the message
I'm helpless alone
And I'm goin' down

Help me, I need someone gentle to love me
My life is a miserable comedy
Of strangers posing as friends
I know they don't know who I am

Hurry, it's time to make your move boy
Hurry, you better get along with it soon boy
Hurry, there she goes
Hurry, gone out the door boy

You know you can win the battle
But you can lose, you can lose the war

Hurry, are your feet glued to the pavement boy?
You know you can win the battle
But you can lose, you can lose the war

Thought I saw a fox, I did, I saw a fox
Amidst that sea of pride, running
Let me call a hansom cab
We'll both get in and then go for a ride nowhere

Nothing spoken, I retreat
Find the subway, take a seat
I let myself get in my way
And let her get away

I got off the train at the next stop
And headed back uptown
I knew I could find her
She so needed a friend

I found her alone in a doorway
The tears in her eyes
Said there's nothing that you can say
I just need an ending

I gave her a flower
And got her to smile
And asked her quite frankly
Would she not prefer a beginning?

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

Sometimes I consider my pace
I'm reminded of a train gathering speed for the climb to the pass;
In whose shadow it already lies
A small metal dragon approaching the ever present ascending rise
To the Seventh Mountain.

Reeling and snaking and leaping it seems
That it wants to come loose from it's path cast in iron;
But you can't slow down now
As the Earth has presented a new crest to reach
Without barely a rest from the last one.

Can you wonder what lies beyond?
Though you've been there before
And forget about the effort and the strain;
Always ascending, each yard as a mile
To the never ending pull of the steepening grade that's before you.

It's no matter. No distance. It's the ride.

A valley, a forest, a desert, a stream,
And an oversized bridge for the trickle beneath;
You remember the torrent it turned to last Spring,
From the snow melting fast,
And the river it became in the summer.

Perhaps it is ruin from a fire that has scorched it
So badly that nothing will grow without rain;
To wash away the blackened soil
Now useless until called upon again
In a future as distant and far away as the next range of mountains.

Then take it as far as you see and beyond
With eyes you don't use enough to gather up strength;
As Thoroughfare Gap
What awaits is whatever you see
When you get there of even before;
It's no matter. No distance. It's the ride.

Midnight, that old clock keeps ticking,
The kids are all asleep and I'm walking the floor.
Darlin' I can see that you're dreaming,
And I don't wanna wake you up when I close the door.

This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means.
There's a garden outside she works in every day
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away.

Lately, I've been thinking 'bout daddy,
And how he always made things work,
When the chips were down,
And I know I've got something inside me
There's always a light there to guide me
To what can't be found.

This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means.
There's a garden outside she works in every day
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away.

Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.
Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.

Remember how we first came here together?
Standing on an empty lot, holding hands.
Later, we came back in the moonlight
And made love right where the kitchen is,
Then we made our plans.

This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means.
There's a garden outside she works in every day
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away.

Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.
Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away

He's a perfect stranger like a cross of himself and a fox
He's a feeling arranger and a changer of the ways he talks
He's the unforeseen danger, the keeper of the key to the locks
Know when you see him, nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide, loner

If you see him in the subway, he'll be down at the end of the car
Watching you move until he knows he knows who you are
When you get off the train alone, he'll know that you are gone
Know when you see him, nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide, it's the loner

There was a woman he knew about a year or so ago
She had something that he needed and he pleaded with her not to go
On the day that she left, he died, but it did not show
Know when you see him, nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide, it's the loner

What do you say when you’ve said everything ?
What turn to play when you’ve played all of them ?
Do you know that I’m anyone else ?
Can you show that I’m anyone else
That nobody knows ?

How can you teach when you’ve taught everyone ?
How can you preach when you ……………………
Do you know that I’m anyone else ?
Can you show that I’m anyone else
That nobody knows ?

Shut the door, turn off the power
Stop your mind, you tell us your soul is ………..
And it fit to fixin’.

How can you think when you thought everything ?
Few standing on the brink at the lonely game of solitaire
…………………………….
Oh yes, and there’s nothing to do but quietly make …….

I can't stop thinking 'bout her
'Cos she's mighty fine and I would be lying
If I didn't speak up now,
Say what's on my mind, almost any old time.

I'm ready to choose that girl
I couldn't refuse that girl
You'd better not lose that girl
I just might let myself fall in love
That girl is all the woman I'm dreaming of.

So many years you've been a true friend of mine,
But I draw the line and I ain't gonna run no number
But you gotta know if you let her go

I'm ready to choose that girl
I couldn't refuse that girl
You'd better not lose that girl
I just might let myself fall in love
That girl is all the woman I'm dreaming of.

Can't you see, we gotta get to know
How far this can go
You and me we gotta get it right
'Cos this ain't love at first sight

I want you to understand that I can't help myself.
And I'm gonna be right there with you
Only time will tell if it was only me that fell.

I'm ready to choose that girl
I couldn't refuse that girl
You'd better not lose that girl
I just might let myself fall in love
That girl is all the woman I'm dreaming of.

(Choose that girl, refuse that girl, lose that girl

You who are on the road

It's getting to the point
Where I'm no fun anymore
I am sorry.
Sometimes it hurts so badly
I must cry out loud
I am lonely.
I am yours, you are mine,
You are what you are
And you make it hard

Remember what we've said, and done, and felt
about each other
Oh babe, have mercy.
Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now.
I am not dreaming.
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are.
And you make it hard

Tearing yourself away from me now,
You are free and I am crying.
This does not mean I don't love you,
I do, that's forever, and always.
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are.
And you make it hard

Something inside is telling me that
I've got your secret. Are you still listening?
Fear is the lock, and laughter the key to your heart.
And I love you.

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are.
And you make it hard,
And you make it hard

Friday evening, Sunday in the afternoon,
What have you got to lose?
Tuesday mornin', please be gone I'm tired of you.
Can I tell it like it is? Help me I'm sufferin'.
Listen to me babyHelp me I'm dyin'.
It's my heart that's a-sufferin', it's a dyin'.
That's what I have to lose.
I've got an answer
I'm going to fly away,
What have I got to lose?
Will you come see me Thursdays and Saturdays?
What have you got to lose?

Chestnut brown canary, ruby-throated sparrow.
Sing a song, don't be long.
Thrill me to the marrow.
Voices of the angels, ring around the moonlight.
Asking me, said she so free,
How can you catch the sparrow?

Lacy lilting lady, losing love lamenting,
Change my life, make it right.
Be my lady

It's getting to the point
Where I'm no fun anymore
I am sorry
Sometimes it hurts so badly
I must cry out loud
I am lonely
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are
And you make it hard.

Remember what we've said and done and felt
About each other
Oh babe, have mercy
Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now
I am not dreaming.
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are
You make it hard.

Tearing yourself away from me now
You are free and I am crying
This does not mean I don't love you
I do, that's forever,
Yes and for always
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are
You make it hard.

Something inside is telling me that
I've got your secret.
Are you still listening?
Fear is the lock, and laughter the key to your heart
And I love you.
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard
And you make it hard (x 3).

Friday evening, Sunday in the afternoon
What have you got to lose?
Tuesday morning, please be gone I'm tired of you.
What have you got to lose?
Can I tell it like it is? (Help me I'm suffering)
Listen to me baby.
It's my heart that's a suffering (Help me I'm dying)
It's a dying, that's what I have to lose
I've got an answer
I'm going to fly away
What have I got to lose?
Will you come see me Thursdays and Saturdays?
What have you got to lose?

Chestnut brown canary
Ruby throated sparrow
Sing the song don't be long
Thrill me to the marrow.

Voices of the angels, ring around the moonlight
Asking me, said she so free
How can you catch the sparrow?

Lacy, lilting, leery, losing love, lamenting
Change my life, make it right
Be my lady.

Que linda me la traiga Cuba,
La reina de la Mar Caribe.
Cielo sol no tiene sangre alli,
y que triste que no puedo vaya,
Oh va, oh va, va.

Translation:
(How prettiness brings me to Cuba,
The reign of the Caribbean Sea,
Sunny sky has no blood over there,
And how sad that I cannot go,
Oh go, oh go, go.)

It's getting to the point
Where I'm no fun anymore
I am sorry
Sometimes it hurts so badly
I must cry out loud
I am lonely
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are
And you make it hard.

Remember what we've said and done and felt
About each other
Oh babe, have mercy
Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now
I am not dreaming.
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are
You make it hard.

Tearing yourself away from me now
You are free and I am crying
This does not mean I don't love you
I do, that's forever,
Yes and for always
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are
You make it hard.

Something inside is telling me that
I've got your secret.
Are you still listening?
Fear is the lock, and laughter the key to your heart
And I love you.
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard
And you make it hard (x 3).

Friday evening, Sunday in the afternoon
What have you got to lose?
Tuesday morning, please be gone I'm tired of you.
What have you got to lose?
Can I tell it like it is? (Help me I'm suffering)
Listen to me baby.
It's my heart that's a suffering (Help me I'm dying)
It's a dying, that's what I have to lose
I've got an answer
I'm going to fly away
What have I got to lose?
Will you come see me Thursdays and Saturdays?
What have you got to lose?

Fancy Dan, gamblin' man
Top hat of the peanut man
Talk about your pot of gold
With a silver lining

Tumblin' dice, hit it twice
The boats and the flushes
They sure look nice
On a pot of gold
With a silver lining
Stateline, give you a hard time
Don't you stay too long
Goodbye, pretty women I
Ain't stayin' on
Come on and

Get a bunch, bet a bunch
If you come to gamble,
Better pack a lunch
For a pot of gold
With a silver lining.

The less you bet, stayin' in
The more you lose even when you win
On a pot of gold
With a silver lining

If you don't know when to stop
Lady Luck she gonna see you're taught
That there ain't no pot of gold
And no silver lining

Easy money, come too fast
Come too quick turn a good man bad
On a pot of gold
With a silver lining.

Cuando sientes que tu amor
Va saliendo de tu vida why nunca regresara
Cuando ella diga "Adios why buena suerte
No estoy interesada, tu amor no vale nada"

There comes a time when love becomes a trial
And some they will survive and some are sure to fail
No matter what you do it's not enough
For she is as sure as she can be
That she no longer cares to love you

So go on alone, your future is your own
For she has told you now
The time has come to follow different paths

How long will it take you to forget her?
How long for the love to finally die?
How long will her spirit live within you?
Help me, I can no longer cry

So take your life in hand and live it day by day
One moment at a time 'til death comes to collect you
Remember all the love, beyond just simple caring
Obsessively compelling, but ultimately so telling

Why parece que sabe??짯as que algan dea
Iba a vivir ese momento ya pasado
No mientas ya no llores por tu amor
La vida continea, olvida tu dolor, hermano me??짯o
Todo todo ha pasado estaba destinado

It took me too much time to realize that it was over
There was no more me and you
Now my life has changed completely
There's an empty place that once belonged to you, yeah

I gave up on you, that's the hardest thing I've ever had to do
Giving up on you, I gave up on you I have nothing left to lose
Even though I know you'll never really face yourself
Or put your trust in someone else that's just the same
As asking all of us to turn away and just give up on you

Every day is different for me now
The air is clear, and the daily worry too, all the time
Easier to repossess, my confidence was weak
I was trapped in loving you

I gave up on you even with the sadness it would surely bring
I gave up on you, I gave up on you even knowing what I do
I was giving up the pain of living without you
My life will never be the same
So I will once again do as you wish, give up on you

I feel so common now my love of decades
Won't you really pass too late?
Hatred's born of demons must be driven from destruction
Now must fight for its own sake

I gave up on you, I'd no more time to waste
I gave up on you, I'd harder things to face
I gave up on you, I've finished with the chase
I gave up on you, while I can still forget the bitter taste
And memories that overcome me seeming to be trying to convince me
That life is nothing but a time to waste, I gave up on you

Southern man, better keep your head,
Don't forget what your good books said,
Southern change gonna come at last.
Now your crosses are burning fast,
Southern man.
I saw cotton and I saw Black,
Tall white mansions and little shacks,
Southern man, when will you pay them back,
I heard screaming and bull whips cracking
How long? How long?
Lillie Bell, your hair is golden brown,
I've seen your mad man comin' round,
I swear by God I'm gonna cut him down,
I heard screaming and bull whips cracking,
How long? How long

Someday soon you will see by the light of day
That someday soon all your worries will fade away
Keep holding on to the love that has made you strong
And someday soon heartache will all be gone

Someday soon I hope good things come to you
And someday soon hope your wishes all come true
Keep holding on to the love that has brought you here
And someday soon darkness will disappear

When life's too hard to bear for you to take it
Have faith in what you do
You've got to tell yourself
That you can make it through

Someday soon you will get to be your best
And someday soon you will finaly get some rest
Keep holding on to the love that came your way
And someday soon shadows will fall away

Soldiers of peace are not fighting a war
Are not looking for enemies behind every door
Are not looking for people to kill or to maim.
Soldiers of peace are just changing the game.

Men who were fighting for all of our lives
Are now fighting for children, for homes and for wives,
Fighting for the memory of all who fell before,
But the soldiers of peace just can't kill any more.

So come all you warriors who live for the fight,
Come listen to somebody, somebody who might
Have been there before you and they have the right,
They've been dying to tell you the score.
The old warriors don't want you to hurt any more.

Soldiers of peace can still hear the cries
When the people were screaming and losing their lives,
When bodies were broken and spirits were torn
The soldiers of peace do not want you to mourn.

So come all you warriors who live for the fight,
Come listen to somebody, somebody who might
Have been there before you and they have the right,
They've been dying to tell you the score.
The old warriors don't want you to hurt any more.

Soldiers of peace are not fighting a war.
No more, no more, no more, no more

Soldier, soldier, soldier
Stuck in a hospital ward
Living in a wheelchair
Do you remember the war
It's not over
It'll never be over for you
It's not over
Till they stop playing war with you
Soldier, soldier
Do you remember who found you
The helicopter crew
Out of the Au Shan Valley
What could they do
It's not over
It'll never be over for you
It's not over
Till they stop playing war with you
Soldier, soldier
Was anybody with you
When you felt your body die
Knowing that you live on
The shell of a man to hide
It's not over
It'll never be over for you
It's not over
Till they stop playing God with you
Soldier, soldier
Soldier, soldier

Soldier, soldier, soldier
Stuck in a hospital ward
Living in a wheelchair
Do you remember the war
It's not over
It'll never be over for you
It's not over
Till they stop playing war with you
Soldier, soldier
Do you remember who found you
The helicopter crew
Out of the Au Shan Valley
What could they do
It's not over
It'll never be over for you
It's not over
Till they stop playing war with you
Soldier, soldier
Was anybody with you
When you felt your body die
Knowing that you live on
The shell of a man to hide
It's not over
It'll never be over for you
It's not over
Till they stop playing God with you
Soldier, soldier
Soldier, soldier

And so begins the task
I have dreaded the coming of
For so long
I wait for the sun
To remind my body
It needs restin'
And I must learn to without you now
I must learn to give only part some how
Camping on the edge
Of your city I wait
Hoping someday
You might
See
Beyond yourself
The shadows on the ceiling
Hard
But not real
Like the bars that cage
You within yourself
And I must learn to without you now
I must learn to give only part some how
And I must learn to without you now
As I cannot learn to give only part some how
All of these cages
Must
And shall be set aside
They will only
Keep
Us from the knowing
Actors
And stages
Now fall before the truth
As th love
Shared
Between us
Remains
Growing
And I must learn to without you now
As I cannot learn to give only part some how

And so begins the task
I have dreaded the coming of
For so long
I wait for the sun
To remind my body
It needs restin'
And I must learn to without you now
I must learn to give only part some how
Camping on the edge
Of your city I wait
Hoping someday
You might
See
Beyond yourself
The shadows on the ceiling
Hard
But not real
Like the bars that cage
You within yourself
And I must learn to without you now
I must learn to give only part some how
And I must learn to without you now
As I cannot learn to give only part some how
All of these cages
Must
And shall be set aside
They will only
Keep
Us from the knowing
Actors
And stages
Now fall before the truth
As th love
Shared
Between us
Remains
Growing
And I must learn to without you now
As I cannot learn to give only part some how

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

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 growing 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, mellowed 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) Never gonna get rid of these blues
(Hold it) I got to find somebody to love
(Hold it) Let me slow me 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)

Think about the last time
You had a gentle touch
Did you feel it
Ain't it just too much
See somebody pretty
Look you in the eye
That's the one that touches you
Do you need a place to hide
And I'm just as bad as anything
You ever thought about anyone
And I know our time's goin' to come
Just as sure as the risin' of the sun
And I know she loves me so
See somebody pretty
Look you in the eye
That's the one that touches you
Do you need a place to hide

Behind a nation's blind salute
Behind "my country 'tis of thee"
Behind the pain that won't compute
Erase the memory of Shadowland.

An open wound that never heals
A bone that never seems to set
A mind that thinks but never feels
The face we've never met from Shadowland.

They tell us time and time again
They only want a few good men
They lead us through the lion's den
To Shadowland.

The world would just as soon forget
And watch the wreckage drift ashore
Ten years reduced to one regret
The baggage of war from Shadowland.

Don't ask us how our names were lost
Our nation did a sleight of hand
We never saw the line we crossed
That took us into Shadowland.

They tell us time and time again
They only want a few good men
They lead us through the lion's den
To Shadowland.

The son will reap what fathers sow
But mothers have to hear the sound
Of the last breath of the boy next door
Whose life has ended

Shadowland, Shadowland, Shadowland

I lost my innocence over intolerance
All the indignities heaped on the black man
We went to church they all prayed for the white man
The cops and the preachers
Were most of 'em in the Klan
What's a kid s'posed to think when the adults
Are all such hypocrites impossibly smug

I have seen enough
I have seen enough of this
Had enough
Quite enough, I swear

The next generation, the woodstock nation
A little bit flaky, but no hesitation
Stop the war, it wasn't worth dyin' for
The paranoia of the cold warriors
Arrogant old men with domino theories
Fractured fairy tales tryin' to kill me

I have seen enough
I have seen enough of this
I have read enough
History to see right through this

You got outcast upset
People you never met
Locked in the basement
Hot-wired to the net
Isolated, infuriated
The punchline to the joke
Is how they are gonna smoke
Every last stuck-up snob ever dissed them
Look in their eyes how could you miss them

Ain't you seen enough
I have seen enough of this
I've had quite enough
Seen enough

We got dead-eyed, dead drunk
Dead stupid cyberpunks
Fed-up killer geeks
Gigabyte meth freaks
Home alone in a world of their own
Up all night in the thick of the fight
Fantasy combat, veteran psychos
Removed from reality by silicon diodes

Seen enough
I have seen enough of this
Have you read enough
So, you don't know nothin' about it

You got powerbook potentates
Pointedly obviate
Every opinion
They have about anything
Even if they don't know shit
Stay in the limelight
Got your own website
Got all the answers, ain't got a lick of sense
Practicing psychiatry without a license

Ain't you seen enough
Had enough of this
I have had enough
Ain't it bad enough for you yet

So you got overfed
Talking heads on television
Ignoring the obvious with pained expressions
Ask the ones that sell the damn guns
By the truckload every day
Fast as they can make 'em
What's a kid s'posed to think
When the adults
Refuse all accountability
When they fuck up

Ain't you seen enough
Ain't you had enough of this
Goddam tired enough
Have we done enough about this
I have seen enough

There's a ship
And it sails a sea of light
On it's way to me tonight
From a distant shore
Taking me home once more
And the waves
And the whistling of the wind
Make me come alive again
My destiny's at my door
Going to leave this town forever
And go where I'll never
Nead an overcoat no more, where they cry

Oh lalalala, every night and every day
Sitting by the Gulf coast just a thousand miles away
Where they cry

Oh lalalala, on an island I will dwell
Starlit nights in paradise on the Isle of Sanibel
There's a girl
And I see her dressed in white
As she lies there in the night
I can hear her cry
Where has he gone and why
But she knows
That someday he will arrive
And it keeps her love alive
Dreams can never die
She looks across the ocean
At sails in motion
In the early morning sky, where they cry

Angels of the water, sirens of the sea
Whispering there sweet love songs
Calling out to me

<i>Lyrics &copy; Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC</i>

I was a child lost in the northern plains
I was reckless, tryin' to throw my life away
I was too young for where I'd been
Tryin' to regain my innocence
Already lost my best friend
Off somewhere in Vietnam
I wasn't going to go look for him
My destiny, just around the bend

Come along this apparition
An enigma for my intuition
Told me hold on to what you said
You got song, and you're too classy
Hard as Canadian black ice
All over you, makin' you think twice
Y'already can
Our destiny just around the bend
Just around the bend

So come on, let's go to New York city
Play the night owl,it's a pity
Couldn't find him, so I headed west
Think everyone knows the rest
I found him on the Sunset Strip
Bad place to get a grip
Got a band of famous men
Next thing you know
They took me round the bend
Round the bend

We got down on to some magic places
But the peoples around all had four faces
Couldn't stand such an honest heart
They couldn't wait to tear us apart
Early I didn't know
But the magic isn't odd you know
Don't need to be alone again
That's rockin', a roundin' at the bend
Roundin' at the bend

I met you in the strangest way
Into a night of crazy smiling faces
Had it been another day, the sound of a thousand voices wailing dismay
Having seen no other way,
We looked at each other once
And felt the love begin, love begin

[Chorus]
Cause you know there's a ring of love surrounding you and me
Ring of love in perfect harmony
Ring of love surrounding you and me
All the way
I've never met anyone ever could touch me so all the way
You know you're the first one to make me believe in something
People are full of lies
Always willing to compromise
Their love and their tomorrow
Such a sorrow, sorrow

The world is ours if we can cope
We don't have to lose the faith
That gave us this much hope
Let us blow with the wind
To seek out the fountain of life
And all its miracles, its miracles

[Chorus]

Cause you know there's a ring of love surrounding you and me
Ring of love in perfect harmony
Ring of love surrounding you and me

I met you in the strangest way
Into a night of crazy smiling faces
Had it been another day, the sound of a thousand voices wailing dismay
Having seen no other way,
We looked at each other once
And felt the love begin, love begin

[Chorus]
Cause you know there's a ring of love surrounding you and me
Ring of love in perfect harmony
Ring of love surrounding you and me
All the way
I've never met anyone ever could touch me so all the way
You know you're the first one to make me believe in something
People are full of lies
Always willing to compromise
Their love and their tomorrow
Such a sorrow, sorrow

The world is ours if we can cope
We don't have to lose the faith
That gave us this much hope
Let us blow with the wind
To seek out the fountain of life
And all its miracles, its miracles

[Chorus]

Cause you know there's a ring of love surrounding you and me
Ring of love in perfect harmony
Ring of love surrounding you and me

The last time I spoke to her
She couldn't talk to me
The script that she read was very strange
But who did she see?
A few lines from a bad dream
A frozen memory

Darkness remains the fate
Of such illusion can't you wait?
I said, "Now can't you wait?"
On what can be

Who was it mold?
The girl that I once knew
Such a carefully chosen pose
What will the emptiness do?
One of my best friends took her down
With his games for sure

Hearts made of stone
Cannot break again


I hope he understands
I hope he is secure

Old fashioned feelings
A new way of dealing
With love I see
These times were meant for me
No, no, no, no, no

The past isn't anymore
The future only has in store
And round and round and round it goes
And where it stops nobody knows

As far as I can tell
The only game in town
Is a going down
And only happening right now

My head is hanging heavy with the thoughts of him in mind 'Tis sacrilege for us to take advantage of the blind So, tell before you come to me from out of yonder skies A man's a man who looks a man right between the eyes And the pain we could bring to him I don't think he could beat Please don't ask me how I know I've just been up that street And all the people living there Have been silenced by there own lies A man's a man who looks a man Right between hte eyes And talking from experience I know how he would feel Waking up and finding out that his one love wasn't real But the age of truth will soon appear Aquarius arrives A man's a man who looks a man Right between the eyes -

I have kissed you, so I'll miss you
On the road I'll be wantin' you
But I have you 'cause I love you,
And you have me 'cause you love me, too.
Felt forsaken, you'll awaken
To the joys of livin' hand in glove.
And then I will lend you my will,
And your days will be filled with love.
Don't run, the time approaches,
Hotels and midnight coaches,
Be sure to hide to roaches.
Felt dejected, as expected,
You rejected all the thoughts of work.
So I'll pray, with
You to stay with me forever, and we'll make it work.
Elevated, you're elated,
'Cause I waited a year for you,
If you're thinkin' what I'm thinkin',
Then I'm gonna make my love to you,
Don't run the time approaches,
Hotels and midnight coaches,
Be sure to hide the roaches

Piece of me
Somewhere out yonder
Mystery
Can't nothing but wonder how it got free
It's a spell I'm under
But you all want a piece of me
Come out of the shadow
Which you do tell
Go a-dream out ya river
Into a wishing well (yeah)
What y'all think I need
All want a piece of me
Like I am
Don't you know it's a hunger
I can't stay away
There's a sigh and a thunder
Needs playing
Know where I'll be
Every last piece of me
Can I be excused
It's my guitar phone
Thinking what I will use
To get the cool tone
Might get you pay
If you just fade away
Go get on

I'll light the fire
You put the flowers in the vase
That you bought today

Staring at the fire
For hours and hours
While I listen to you
Play your love songs
All night long for me
Only for me

Come to me now
And rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is good
Such a cosy room
The windows are illuminated
By the sunshine through them
Fiery gems for you
Only for you

Our house is a very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy
'Cause of you
And our la,la,la, la,la etc

And our

I'll light the fire
And you place the flowers in the jar
That you bought today

I'll light the fire
You put the flowers in the vase
That you bought today

Play your love songs
All night long for me

Young, 1968
When the dream came
I held my breath with my eyes closed
I went insane, like a smoke ring day
When the wind blows
Now I won't be back till later on
If I do come back at all
But you know me, and I miss You
Ina strange game
I saw myself as you knew me
When the change came, and you had a
Chance to see through me
Through the other side is just the same
You can tell you dream is real
Because I love you, can you see me now
Though we rush ahead to save our time
We are only what we feel
And I love you, can you feel it now

There's a man you know they call Trouble
And he follows me everywhere I go
You know Ole Man Trouble
He can't get me now 'cause I know

Mr.Charlie, yeah, you know I worked hard for you
Ah but you're mean to me, just as mean as you can be
You and Ole Man Trouble
You can't get me now 'cause my mind is free

And my pockets, Lord, you know they're so empty
I got no place to lay my weary head
Rather leave all my troubles
And let the green, green grass be my bed

And I get what I need
And I need what I get
And there never ain't nothing
That I didn't, didn't need yet

So Ole Man Trouble
Oh, it doesn't matter about what I want
Do y'all get what I'm saying?
'Cause my heart is in my song
My song blowing in the breeze

Ole Man Trouble, you can't get me now
'Cause my mind is free
And I got a love for the life I live
And I gotta need yeah, what I got to give

So goodbye
Ooh, goodbye
I got no need for you
Ole Man Trouble

Ole Man Trouble
Ole Man Trouble
Ole Man Trouble
Ole Man Trouble

Ole Man Trouble, Trouble, goodbye

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

Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio
Gonna get down to it soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been down long ago
What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know.
Gonna get down to it soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been down long ago
What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know

Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio
Gonna get down to it soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been down long ago
What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know.
Gonna get down to it soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been down long ago
What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know

by C. Hardin and N. Petty

I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
Come home and bring your love to me
My love for you has got to be real
All of these years and how I feel
I've been lovin' you night and day
My love is real not fade away
Can't you see that there's a good reason
For bein' together just to be pleasin'
Stompin', shoutin' and carryin' on
Just you and me baby we could have more fun
All we need is a sunny day
Love a love not fade away
Love a love not fade away
My love is real not fade away
Love a love not fade away
My love is real not fade away
Nobody else could be your man
I'm still walkin so I know I can
My love is bigger than a cadillac
Tried to chauffeur but you drove me back
Got to be with you when night turns to day
My love is real not fade away
My love is real not fade away
My love is real not fade away
My love is real not fade away
(Love a love not fade away)

So things have gotten weird for you
The foolish do the things they do

Mostly talk right at you without speaking
They're deaf and blind and they cannot think
But now they want to be your shrink
Probing for the missing link and freaking

And it's all about how you got strange
Indifferent to their fear of change
And feeling strong enough to get you peaking

(It's my life)
And I ... I have no tears left
(It's my life)
And I ... well, I ain't done yet
What do I have left

And you rage at their transparency
And total insincerity
That love is why they have to try and help you

But mostly it's about control
They're terrified that you might go
And find out for yourself what they can't teach you

Generations that go through this
The young are punished for their disregard
For every fool who might want to lead them

But living in the here and now
Will cleans the waste of the sacred cows
That clutters up the past you might be seeking

So go ahead and rage and fight
Insist on finding your own light
As wisdom cannot be confused by freedom

(It's my life)
I ... I have no tears left
(It's my life)
I ... well, I ain't done yet
(It's my life)
I got no tears left
(It's my life)
Well, I ain't done yet
What the hell do I have left

Don't turn your back on me
I love you
It may not mean that much to you
That's OK
But don't you turn away
Let me hear you say
I love you

Y si tu no me comprendes dijame lo.
Yo te dejar? tu sola y yo llorando
Y lo que llegar‡ you lo pasara
Como quieres querida como quieres tu.

There may be an angry sky
Above us
Come, let's look into our eyes
And love us
'Cause I won't turn away
Let me hear you say
I love you.

No me dejes miserable que quiero.
Y si vienes de su coraz?n como sientes tœ.
Oigame querida escucha me mi amor
De quiero infinamente par toda nuestra vida.

Well it's nighttime and the long cars
Are arriving at the door,
The general is having another party,
With a congressman or three
And some guys you never see outside the bank.

There's a laughing clink of glasses
And a polished click of boots
And bitter talk of a country
With a weakness in its roots.

And it's nighttime for the generals
And the boys at the C.I.A.
Power gone mad in the darkness
Thinking they're God on a good day
They giveth, they taketh
But they like to take it away.

"Well the fools don't know the difference
It's for their own good," they said.
And they shot blind Lady Liberty
In the back of her head.

And it's nighttime for the generals
And the boys at the C.I.A.
Power gone mad in the darkness
Thinking they're God on a good day
They giveth, they taketh
But they like to take it away.

They giveth, they taketh,

Nighttime, nighttime, nighttime

Tell me where
Does it say
When you're lost you stay that way
Why a forest of fools getting in the way
Cannot hear, cannot fade with the nightsong.

Nightsong, from my heart
Why not keep on
Singing anyway.

All alone
I reflect on my demons in the night
Some are wise,
Some are good,
Some are not so bright.
I can't hear.
Sing along with the nightsong.

Nightsong, from my heart
Why not keep on
Singing anyway.

Why not keep on singing anyway?

Run away.
I don't know what it was
Led you astray,
Just because you're too much like I am anyway.
I will come
You can't hide
From the nightsong.

Nightsong, from my heart
Why not keep on
Singing anyway.

Why not keep on singing anyway

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

You who rule upon the land,
(Do it in the name of love)
You hold the future in your hand,
(Do it in the name of love)
When you take your people down the road,
(Do it in the name of love)
Before another bomb explodes.
(Do it in the name of -)

Can you do it in the name of love?
Can you do it in the name of love?

And when you sail upon the sea
(Do it in the name of love)
This one's for you, this one's for me.
(Do it in the name of love)
Before another missile flies
(Do it in the name of love)
You who soar into the sky
(Do it in the name of -).
Can you do it in the name of love?
Can you do it in the name of love?

And so I shout around the world
(Do it in the name of love)
To every boy and every girl,
(Do it in the name of -).

Can you do it in the name of love?
Can you do it in the name of love?
Can you do it in the name of love

Are you leavin'?
Bein' alone
Always made you sad
I got memories of the city
Followin' me everywhere I go

Are you mad with heartache?
Got a country home
And you a Parisienne
Gonna carry all of your sorrow
Right along with you when I'm gone

Got to go away
Only need a couple of days


I got one more chance to sing it
And I ain't gon' waste my time
'Cause everything including you is on the line

Are you troubled?
Feelin' bad
And no one seems to care
Got the myth of Sisyphus
[Incomprehensible]

[Incomprehensible]

This is my favorite set of changes
Already good for a couple of songs
Thought I might play them one more time
And over again

Makes me go back to the trouble I got into
Tryin' to live up to what they said I lucked into
At twenty-five
And this part reminds me of my lady

She loves me she's waitin' at home
And the baby she's makin'
I tell you it's frightenin'
How she trusts me so

And all of the sad times the bitter taste
Left by the struggle to grow
Must my baby know the blues
So if you're still listenin'

I hope you'll remember
The kid with the big white guitar
And all the sad stories to tell
I think it's high time

I went home she'll be worryin'
And missin' me so
How long can I let it drive
Me crazy this music won't

Let me go
But here I stand tryin' so hard to find
One more clever line
For this song of mine

But I can't seem to find
Anything that will rhyme
With my favorite changes

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

What do we do given life we move around
Solitude, reach for light
Rich or slight, we move around

One searches for the sake of searching
Clearly then stumbling, falling, lurching
We move around

A supurb point of reference detected
Becomes absured with a moments reflection
Leaves one a passage of simple thought
Not sagging with the excess weight and excess baggage
And we move around, we move around

One thinks then sinks, then stands at brink
Finds a key and stinks of revelation
Drinking in exaltation we move, we move around



No need to prove no one around
No one but you to stand your ground
We move around
Don't you know it's all right to be wrong
Thus you grow, be amused and be strong

The acceptance of error with grace
Is to refuse to be vain and so afraid of losing face
This fear drives one further into what one thinks
To be a race of life or death
Or simply take another breath of nature's air now
Which is fair now, which is to be alive to move around

by Gregg Allman

I've got to run to keep from hiding
And I'm bound to keep on riding;
And I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no.
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider.
I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
And the road goes on forever
And I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider.
I've gone by the point of caring.
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing
And I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no.
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider.
No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no.
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider;
No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch me no.
No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider.

There's a whole lot of magic
When you're in Paris
And I swear I've never seen
So many pretty women go by
And I can't stop from dancing
I'm spinning 'round like a clock
That's wound up too tight
I want to tell you 'bout all I see

Stars in my eyes that you would not believe
I'm a little funky wearin' out my shoes
Don't mean anything unless I'm dancin' with you
Midnight, midnight in Paris
Midnight, midnight in Paris

Donne mois ta main
Si je viens de loin
Je n'ai pas de remors te vouloir
Et te dsirer
Si je viens de loin
Moi je prux te parler de ma musique
Et parle moi de toi
Si tu veux me dire un jour bon quelque chose
J'ouvre un autre cot de ma vie et tu dpose
Si tu veux te sentir un moment comme moi
Tu regarde moi quand je danse avec toi

Midnight, midnight in Paris
Midnight, midnight in Paris

Well, we'll have another bottle
Monsieur Luigi
So we can toast the autumn
Since it's all around
And I'll always remember
Singing in the park
When the rain
Came down
I want to tell you 'bout all I see

Stars in my eyes that you would not believe
I'm a little funky wearin' out my shoes
Don't mean anything unless I'm dancin' with you
Midnight, midnight in Paris
Midnight, midnight in Paris

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

If you're down and confused
And you don't remember who you're talkin' to
Concentration slips away
'Cause your baby is so far away

Well there's a rose, in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with X4

Don't be angry, don't be sad
Don't sit cryin' over good times you had
There's a girl, right next to you
And she's just waiting for something to do

And there's a rose, in the fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with X3

Love the one you're with X4

Turn your heartache right into joy
She's a girl, and you're a boy
So get it together, make it nice
You ain't gonna need, any more advice

And there's a rose, in the fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with X4
