Timothy B. Schmit [이글스]

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax,' said the night man,
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!'

Nelson

I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories and play our songs again
When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name
No one recognized me, I didn't look the same.

But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well
You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.

People came from miles around, everyone was there
Yoko brought her Walrus, there was magic in the air
And over in the corner, much to my surprise
Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise.

But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well
You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.

Lott-in-dah-dah-dah, lot-in-dah-dah-dah.

Played them all the old songs, thought that's why they came
No one heard the music, we didn't look the same
I said hello to Mary Lou, she belongs to me
When I sang a song about a honky-tonk, it was time to leave.

But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well
You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.

Lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah) lot-in-dah-dah-dah.

Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Goode
Playing guitar like a-ringin' a bell and lookin' like he should
If you gotta play at garden parties, I wish you a lotta luck
But if memories were all I sang, I rather drive a truck.

But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well
You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.

Lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah) lot-in-dah-dah-dah.

But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well
You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.

When I need good lovin'
I always come home to you
You free my lifetime of the blues
Yes I got that old time feelin'
Burnin' deep inside my soul
And I am yours and baby I'm home

And it's a good feelin' to know
It's such a good feelin to know
Oh it's a good feelin' to know
Somebody loves you

Colorado mountains, I can see your
Distant skies
You're bringin' a tear of joy to my eyes

And it's a good feelin' to know
It's such a good feelin to know
Oh it's a good feelin' to know
Somebody loves you

(Paul Cotton)

All you cowboys and your ladies
Take your boots off, they'll drive you crazy
When you come to town take a look around
Yes, you're off of your horse, you can set your soghts on a
Stronger course

And I mean you
And everybody too
Can you come on through
Come on through

Politicians, and your writers
Trading people's dreams
You've got moon blindness
While you're reaching up for the winner's cub
Keep your feet on the ground and your ears on what is
Coming down

And I mean you
And everybody too
Can you come on through
Come on through

All you singers and your lovely songs
Try so very hard to make them all belong
Some get taken others foresaken
We keep a'movin' a right along

And how about you
And everybody too
Can you come on through
Come on through

Here I am singin' my song to you now
I want you to listen yes
I want you to listen
Makin' my time go by, makin' you smile
I been thinkin' of you yes
I been thinkin' of you
And settlin' down

Back on the road agin here I'm alone again
Hotel ain't home no
Hotel ain't home
Worn out faces don't care what the pace is
I miss my woman yes
I miss my woman

And settlin' down
She's hummin' another sound
I hear the music in my ear

Are you sad that I'm leavin'
Baby, bye-byes
Aren't always pleasin'
Would you come along
If I was needin'
And down on my knees long enough for pleadin'

But Anyway Bye Bye

Many thoughts have passed between us
When words aren't made clear
They become meaningless
I gotta get away from here
I'm tossin' in sleeplessness
Wonderin' who has the right to happiness

I got to clear my head
Changes that I dread
Are waitin' for me
Waitin' for me
But Anyway Bye Bye

In ev'ry day that passes us by
I can't help the feelin' that you and I
We won't get to see another day together.
Looks like bad weather.

I can see it all there in your eyes
And it comes to me as no surprise
That you don't need me here no more.
Your feeling tells the score.

Words, they are getting
Hard for me to find.
You take me by my hand
And you're leading me blind.

In ev'ry day that passes us by
I can't help the feelin' that you and I
We won't get to see another day together.
Looks like bad weather.

Yes it does,
And I believe it's gonna rain.

Take the water blue water
Can you see how far it is from flowin' free
Can we let it just be
Without a feelin' of bein' just a little guilty
Alright

Get your water green water wipe your eyes in it
Still isn't very clear
It wouldn't be wise to get too near
Save the cause of your own true fear
Yes I remember when it turned the bend in a natural way
It seems there was a time in my mind
When it caught the light of day
I want to see it talkin' back to the sun
I need to feel it wild and on the run

I remember when it turned the bend in a natural way
Seems there was a time in my mind
When it caught the light of day
I want to see it talkin' back to the sun
I need to feel it wild and on the run

C'mon and get your water - blue water
Can we settle for what you can give
Sure and behold you're without the need to live
And a'changin' wind may bring you back to blue again
I'm havin' a time tellin' my children when

Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes
Warm evenings, pale mornings, bottle of blues
And the tiny golden pins that she wore up in her hair
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes

My mind was young until she grew
My secret thoughts known only by the few
It was a dream much to real
To be leaned against too long
All the time I think she knew

Her words still dance inside my head
Her comb still lies beside my bed
And the sun comes up without her
It just doesn't know she's gone
Ooh, but I remember everything she said

Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes
Warm evenings, pale mornings, bottle of blues
And the tiny golden pins that she wore up in her hair
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes

Silken-soft she rises from the dawn, child of spring
I've known her, oh, for so long
Creature of the earth but never to be wed
She's far too high for mortal's bed
So touch her now and love her while you can
Soon she'll travel on and join the wind

Often she'll be there as you are falling through your eyes
Revisiting some place in the past
And she leads you softly to the limits of your world
But you'll only see her face in a glass
Staring back with eyes that cannot see you
And yet you wish that yours were just as good

So touch her now and love her while you can
Soon she'll travel on and join the wind
Soon she'll travel on and join the wind
Soon she'll travel on and join the wind

It's been a long time a comin'
And I have to carry on
It's been a long time a comin'
But now you've gone

Oh, look at me
Sittin' starin' at the rain
Knowin' the days that we once new
Won't ever come again
Well it seems to strange to really be
So I pinch myself and I find
Oh, yeah, it's me

It's been a long time a comin'
And I have to carry on
It's been a long time a comin'
But now you've gone

And it's to late to turn
Back all the clocks in town
It's to late take the x
From yesterday
Now the die is cast
Nothin' happens in the past
So I'll think I'll take a walk
Out in the rain

Oh, here I go
Walkin' down the street in time
Never knowin' though I'm tryin' to keep myself in rhyme
Just a while has now become to long
Consequently to you I can say
Goodbye, so long

It's been a long time a comin'
And I have to carry on
It's been a long time a comin'
But now you've gone

And it's to late to turn
Back all the clocks in town
It's to late take the x
From yesterday
Now the die is cast
Nothin' happens in the past
So I'll think I'll take a walk
Out in the rain

Oh, here I go
Walkin' down the street in time
Never knowin' though I'm tryin' to keep myself in rhyme
Just a while has now become to long
Consequently to you I can say
Goodbye, so long

And it's to late to turn
Back all the clocks in town
It's to late take the x
From yesterday
Now the die is cast
Nothin' happens in the past
So I'll think I'll take a walk
Out in the rain

Oh, here I go
Walkin' down the street in time
Never knowin' though I'm tryin' to keep myself in rhyme
Just a while has now become to long
Consequently to you I can say
Goodbye, so long

It's been a long time a comin'
And I have to carry on
It's been a long time a comin'
But now you've gone
But now you've gone
But now you've gone

I got a feeling about you, love who's fooling who
Crazy eyes I been a foolin' you
You sing songs about brass buttons and shiny silver shoes
Crazy eyes what had you to lose

Down among the South Caroline pines
You spent most of your lifetime in deep thought
Then changes come about and you find the time you spent
Wasn't quite reason for being bought

So now to be or not to be is the question...now
Crazy eyes don't you forget how
I'm used to seeing your face in the crowd and you thought you
Saw me
Crazy eyes blind as you can be

(Richie Furay)

Go on, my little babe, and cry
Lay your head down, shut your eyes
Someday we'll make us realize
Things weren't really quite that bad
Think of all the things we had
Oh, I know

Sometimes we don't do things right
Lose our heads and start to fight
Over something small, something trite
Finally seeing in the end
Just how silly we have been

Couldn't be because I don't love you
It's foolish even thinkin' I don't try
Lovin' is a feelin' and I'm a-feelin' it too
Don't Let It Pass By

Monday morning could still be blue
Sleepy-eyed, about to lose
That morning always comes too soon
Finds me lyin' in my bed
Things half-done, some half-said
I love you

Early times gone to rhyme
Somebody said it was a good time
To me, it was a long, long time
Just a long time

Early days gone to a gaze
Somebody said we'll make it crazy
And the leader passed it on
And he got lazy

Songs they got to slippin' and right-hand man took to trippin'
And the leader passed it on
Familiar faces I seen, similar places and I wonder
How we left some traces

Come the moon, go the sun
And I believe there's something on the run
Catching up we ran so far behind

Early days gone to rhyme
Early days gone to rhyme
Early days gone to rhyme
...

Today my First Love has arrived
Did you see her? Did you approve?
What if I asked this of you?
Would everything you'd say be true?

When I was young I played with toys
Games were small then, not so involved
My toys meant most of all
You know how kids are when they're small

But now today I find a lot has come to change my mind
It took some time to understand
Older people play little games in another way
Their castles crumble to sand
A lonely hour to withstand

Today my First Love is alone
Do you miss her? Is it so sad?
The tears you cry should be glad
Remembering her is not all that bad

Today my First Love is alone

Sittin' near ya, starin' at ya,
Saying nothing.
Wond'rin' if you're really you
And if I'm someone
That you could know
Beyond the first hello.

Eyes that search like the morning sun
But never finding
Silently I can feel the glow
And I'm not minding
But then you know
I've been tryin' to show
Why it makes me cry
Talkin' it over from the inside.

Something new and oh, so sacred
Grows within the depths of you
But still I just can't keep from wond'rin'
For I'm but a child, too.

Changes timelessly fill the spaces.
It's so blind of me.
I've seen the faces of a gifted few
Who can help us break our chains that bind.

Thinkin' all the time
Why I can't unwind
You must feel the pain
Why it makes me cry
I'm talkin' it over from the inside.

You asked me to read this letter
That you wrote the night before
And you really should now better
Cause she's worth a whole lot more brother
You know you can't run away and hide
Is it you don't want to see her cry
Is that why you won't go and say goodbye
Then you said the fault was yours
And you really were to blame
Twas as if to close the door
And to hide away in shame brother
You know you can't run away and hide
Is it you don't want to see her cry
Is that why you won't go and say goodbye
Yes and why tell me why
Can't you see that it's not right
It's a lie it's a lie
Don't hide your sorrow in the night brother
You know you can't run away and hide
Is it you don't want to see her cry
Is that why you won't go and say goodbye

Yes and why tell me why
Can't you see that it's not right
It's a lie it's a lie
Don't hide your sorrow in the night brother
You know you can't run away and hide
Is it you don't want to see her cry
Is that why you won't go and say goodbye
brother You know you can't run away and hide
Is it you don't want to see her cry
Is that why you won't go and say goodbye

When I last saw you I couldn't find a reason why
I felt kind o' blue watching you
Hello my sweet friend I've come to sing a lullaby
Can I make amends or should I try

Ooo - Mama can't you see it's not the same
Lookin' back behind A-can't start anew
But then here we go again

Searching back to you I've finally come to realize
When we were as two - tellin' lies
Livin' so afraid we never read between the lines
It's different from today - the sun, it shines

When I first saw you I knew I couldn't change my mind
Twisted point of view - another kind
But love is what we choose and not for us to reason why
Sometimes love we lose and never try

Ooh - Could it really be it's not the same
Lookin' back behind is such a silly game
But here we go again

Well, it won't be long now
Until that ol' sun goes down
And darkness helps me hide my shameful tears
My wife works all night long
For a man who's halfway gone
She's a barmaid in the Honky Tonk Downstairs

It's a shame she wears the name
Of a man who's locked and chained
To a bottle that's destroyed all hopes and cares
To the men with hungry eyes
She works and hides her pride
She's a barmaid in the Honky Tonk Downstairs

Here I sit with like
The day has got no hours
I feel it kinda easy, tho' 'cause I'm lazy
It's a good day for showers
So, don't worry whatever
I might do, no hurry,
For I've been a telling you I'm feeling just fine.
And I really couldn't care less this time
How many more will there be?
Hurry up now tell me.
Patience is a virtue
As rewarding as a new love in spring
But suddenly forgotten when a man
Gets caught in his own dream
Outspoken faces again beware
The token of wine in a glass
Could dare you just enough
Who's joking? And when should I call your bluff?
How many more will there be?
Hurry up now tell me

Here I sit with like

If it seems to you that I am fading

Everytime I try to talk to you
The words I'm speaking distort the view
And then I end up thinkin' what can I do
Now you're slippin' away for a new

Always hoping that the day will come
When I can face it, won't have to run
When all there has been is yet to come
When I don't hide my face from the sun
And I know it's myself it's not you

I can see everything
It's all in your smile that brings
All of the special things about you
If you could feel the way
That I do today we could
Find us a better way to get through

Everytime I climb into your eyes
I get so wasted and hypnotized
But there is one thing you can't disguise
That you're slippin' away for a new
Baby if I could control the time
Then I could stop it and redifine
Just what is real and how I've been so blind
I could put all the words into rhyme
And I know it's myself it's not you
If it seems to you that I am fading

Wish that I could come
With the mornin' sun
Shinin' through your window
I could be the one

To open up your day
Ooh, words can't begin to say
Feelings that are hidden in
In such a special way
And they're just for me and you.

Nighttime comes searhin' blindly
Been needin' some lovin'
I find me followin' my heart
back to you
Ooh, how it reminds me
That I need no other lover
This feelin' is like no other
And though I can't be with you now
Let this song be another one
That's just for me and you.

So let my heart go on a-singin'
Let my song go on a-bringin'
To you lovin' that you know
Is in my heart and clingin'
To days that passed on by
Need we stop, though, to
wonder why
You know I love you, baby
The tears in my eyes are
Just for me and you.

What does it matter to me that you've gone
The memory's all in a dream
And though it seems I ought to be
With a good night's yawn, the heartache is gone
Yes Indeed

For lovin' you I have been such a fool
Hardly knowin' the game or the rules
Nothin' for me could I see except for your teasin'
I guess I was just dreamin'
Holdin' onto promises from you

What does it matter to me that you've gone
The memory's all in a dream
And though it seems I ought to be
With a good night's yawn, the heartache is gone
Yes Indeed

Just In Case It Happens, you see
I have paid all my dues faithfully
Now the peace of mind I feel inside is worth the misgivings
There's a new beginning clingin' in my head
The rest of it's been said

What does it matter to me that you've gone
The memory's all in a dream
And though it seems I ought to be
With a good night's yawn, the heartache is gone
Yes Indeed
The heartache is gone
Yes Indeed

Don't tell me we're goin' down a oneway
Hear me, somebody, would ya like to
Take the time to find ourselves a new way,
Hear me, somebody, could ya try to?
Ah, changes stranded in fear
But keep on believin' keepin' it clear
Good times will fin'lly arrive
It's been so long, come along, come on along.
Don't tell me we got no right to be choosin'
Hear me, somebody, are ya sure now?
If you think the way we're goin' ain't confusin'
Hear me, somebody, take a look now.
Look at the changes stranded in fear
But keep on believin' keepin' it clear,
Good times will fin'lly arrive,
It's been so long, come along, come on along.
Don't tell me that it's gettin' down to bleedin'
Hear me, somebody, where are we goin'?
When ev'ry day has the answer to the question
Don't ya know it's been showin'?
Ah, changes stranded in fear
But keep on believin' keepin' it clear
Good times will fin'lly arrive
It's been so long, come along, come on along
Come on along

Somebody called the keeper of the fire
Holy smoke, I hope he ain't no liar
'Cause I've heard tell that while we're sleeping
All is well and safely keeping, we're only seeking

Then it came a morning, we were feeling just the same
Caring less, let it snow itself to rain
Easy summer, and we're hung out high and dry
Somebody save us from this feeling, feeling in our eyes

Lookin' out there was a new light burnin'
I turned about, everyone there kept on turnin'
Came on through like a childhood yearnin'

Somebody called the keeper of the fire
Holy smoke, I surely hope he ain't no liar
'Cause I've heard tell that while we're sleeping
All is well and safely keeping, we're only seeking

Lookin' out there was a new light burnin'
I turned about, everyone there kept on turnin'
Came on through like a childhood yearnin'

Lookin' out there was a new light burnin'
I turned about, everyone there kept on turnin'
Came on through like a childhood yearnin'

Lookin' out there was a new light burnin'
I turned about, everyone there kept on turnin'
Came on through like a childhood yearnin'

Lookin' out there was a new light burnin'
I turned about, everyone there kept on turnin'
Came on through like a childhood yearnin'

Lookin' out there was a new light burnin'

(Richie Furay)

Slippin' away headin' out to L.A.
Gonna sing in city tonight, tonight
Slippin' away headin' out to L.A.
Gonna sing in city tonight
This rock 'n' roll feelin's got my head reelin'
A feelin' I know that is right
So c'mon let's dance
Let's dance and maybe if you like we could be just like
Old friends that new friends could like
Cause only a few do what you can sure do
And only a few do it right
So c'mon let's dance let's dance tonight

Just let me take you dancin' dancin'
In the moonlight the summer night what a night
And baby while we're dancin' dancin'
We'll take our time to ease our minds come alive
Yes baby while we're dancin' dancin'
We can sing while guitars scream, we'll make a dream
Then maybe while we're dancin' dancin'
Remember then the feelin' when
We were slippin' away headin' out to L.A.
This rock 'n' roll feelin's got my head reelin'
A feelin' I know that is right
So c'mon let's dance let's dance tonight

Whippoorwill's singing, soft summer breeze;
Makes me think of my baby left down in New Orleans,
I left down in New Orleans
Magnolia you sweet thing, you're driving me mad
Got to get back to you, baby;
You're the best I ever had;
You're the best I ever had;
You whisper, ";Good Morning"; so gently in my ear;
I'm coming to you baby;
I'll soon be there
I'll soon be there

Maybe someday I can trade you a smile
Makin' love a dream that's worthwhile
I've been watchin' you like a mother and child
What you're feelin', oh
What you're feelin'
Please Make Me A Smile

Yellow ribbons stream through your hair
Such a feelin', now, don't leave me there
You make it so hard for me not to stare
What you're feelin', oh
What you're feelin'


Please make me aware

BRIDGE:
Lover, come on, I can see suddenly
Changes in you, you're smilin' at me
Lover, belong only to me
Arrange your sweet tune to make harmony

(Repeat bridge)

(Repeat first verse)

Baby, you can see that it's a lie
What he said to you
Made you sad, kind of made me glad
'Cause I got the same from you

I ain't your fool, you'd better go away
Don't apologize
No words you'd say wouldn't be okay
I'm through listenin' to your lies

You thought I'd be here, you came back
You were so darn sure of yourself
But just look around, see it ain't so
You'd better start lookin' for help

So many times you stood and laughed at me
Now I'll take my turn
You've had your way up until today
Guess that it's time you learned

'Cause I got the same from you

Bein' at most just a country boy innocent and all
I turned my face away from the farm, on the city I'd call
Hey, what's doin' in the town of fortune and fame?
Bright lights a-glowin', I've come to make my name

You see I've got my ol' guitar, I'm not a beggin' fool
I play this town and a thousand more (God knows)
God knows I keep my cool
So what's missin' I've given my world the best
And I'm downright grateful, for Oh Yeah, my life's been blessed

[CHORUS]
My my, can't you see the warnin'
When the fires burn you better pay
Oh Yeah it's gonna get you in the mornin'
Now's your chance you better get away

Stayed awake 'most all last night, just couldn't get to sleep
So many things sittin' on my brain, yes, I need a chance to think
But I've been told not to worry, everything's gonna be all right
Oh, mama, won't you tell me, why did I leave that night?

Seems like it's been ages ago now since I come to town
Ain't much changed, every face is the same
Oh, people just a-hangin' round
So I'm a-leavin' this mornin', gonna go back home today
And let me tell you, buddy, turn around if you're fixin' to stay
You better go on home today

[REPEAT CHORUS]
[REPEAT CHORUS]

(Paul Cotton)

Ol' forgiver,
You're a true life giver
When I'm cold
Warm me when I shiver

Ol' forgiver
When I'm runnin' you down
Now ain't you the clown
I'm chasing, madly embracing.

You got me laughing inside
At the happy face I'm facing
Ol' forgiver
You wear it all on the outside.

You're quiet and unspoken
And I take it as a token
That I'll be broken
Long before you will be.
Yeah, you'll se

Ol' forgiver
You bring a day that is lasting
Still it's slowly slowly drifting by
For the lucky son
Of an unknown mother.

Ol' forgiver, fill my eyes.
Ol' forgiver, come on and fill my eyes.
I see you fillin' up my eyes.
Ol' forgiver, come on and fill up,
Fill up my eyes.

Well there's just a little bit of magic
In the country music we're singin'
So let's begin
We're bringin' you back down home where the folks are happy
Sittin' pickin' and a-grinnin'
Casually, you and me
We'll Pick Up The Pieces, uh-huh

Somebody yelled out at me
Country music and company kind of makes it
On a Sunday afternoon
Picnic lunches of yesterday
Should still have a place in your heart today
Think it over
'Cause we'll all be goin' home so soon

(Repeat first verse)

Saturday feelin' like Sunday
And I really haven't made my way
A lost road
It's a blown up railroad
Got to find a new engineer today

And it's twice as hard on my stride
When I take a day and let it ride

Hello, how are you, how do you do?
Can you help me? Come jump in my shoes
You'll know the feelin' of me
Thinkin' about you
And you really haven't made your way

And ooh, it's a lost road
A blown up railroad
Got to find a new track, lay it down
Now delay

Welcome be the stranger
With a drivin' wheel all his own
Me, the rearranger
And I can't find home

Saturday feelin' like Sunday
And I really haven't made my way
A lost road
It's a blown up railroad
Got to find a new engineer today

And ooh, it's a lost road
A blown up railroad
Got to find a new track, lay it down
Now delay

Get on down off your ladder
Come out from the rain
Can't you see that there's no one to blame
And I got that feelin'
That we're playin' the same old game

You better get on the run
'Cause you know it's no fun
Restrain yourself

Can you tell me
Is it for certain or does it depend
Upon a feelin' that refuses to bend
Victim of circumstance you'll say to the end
And you pay no mind
You just watch it pass by
Restrain yourself

Restrain yourself till you can't restrain no more
Can you tell me why is it you sigh
Is it because of a need you deny
So come on up and deliver
What you really know
Maybe discover what it feels like
To grow

But you're just a mirror
Reflecting a show
Quiet on the scene now
Come out and take a bow
Don't restrain yourself

In she comes a ridin' on a mornin' sunrise
I am left to believing all that is standing before my eyes

And I wonder, now I wonder
Would the sun have shone ever so brightly alone?

We been livin' all of our lives on the other side of the hill
Drifting on a golden wing and I can't wait to hear the smile

She can sing, she can sing
Take me through the day, steal my breath away

And we ride the countryside, take it high and wide
She brings crackers, cheese and wine, oh, they're gonna bust my side

She's got strawberries comin' by the dozen
Brown sugar and sweet cream set my mouth, set my mouth a buzzin'

Take my hand and run, take me down to the river blue
Throw a whisper to the wind that all you're sayin' is true
All you're sayin' is true

Ride the countryside, take me high and wide
Ride the countryside, take me high and wide
Ride the countryside

Short Changed
I got to hand it to you
Bloodstained
My hands were tied 'cause of you
Can you feel the pulse of my soul drivin' you home
Isn't it lonely
Tryin' to think back over the times when my love was all
And you didn't know me

My friend
Your scheme was so well devised
Sufferin'
What was behind your disguise
Can you feel the pulse of my soul drivin' you home
Isn't it lonely
Tryin' to think back over the times when my love was all
And you didn't know me

Short Changed
I got to hand it to you
Bloodstained
My hands were tied 'cause of you
Can you feel the pulse of my soul drivin' you home
Isn't it lonely
Tryin' to think back over the times when my love was all
And you didn't know me

Sweet sweet love
Sweet sweet love
To light her way

Sun shinin' in the night
My newborn child
Oh my, sharin' her lovin' with me
I can see in her smile
Wordless are the thoughts
She's tryin' to say
Oh my, maybe she's seein' the light
Of a brighter day

So give her some lovin'
Sweet sweet love
Sweet sweet love
Sweet sweet love
To light her way

Tears runnin' down my face in ecstacy
Oh my, how we gave life to this child
Baby you and me
With the love we shared inside

She found her way
Oh my, you know it makes me feel
So much more for today

So give her some lovin'
Sweet sweet love
Sweet sweet love
Sweet sweet love
To light her way

Tomorrow always brings
Rain, drummin' on my window pane
As the skies unleash their tears
And darkened clouds release their fears
Washin' clean the festering earth
It foretells of a renaissance

And in the thrill of its rebirth
Flowers wait to greet the dawn
Childish in their innocence
Laughin' out tomorrow gone

Tomorrow always brings
Rain ah, but soon the sun
Will shine again
Lookin' on while you and I, walk along
Wonderin' why knowin' you're lovin' me
Foretells a renaissance

It's a good mornin' and I'm feelin' fine
Hey, it's such a lovely day
Smile, a frown would be pass??짤
I wanna play
Oh, What A Day

I've got to dream
I can't find a reason to care
And it seems
I hung all my thoughts in mid-air
Look over there
Oh, stop and stare

It's a good mornin' and I'm feelin' fine
What did you say?
It's a wonderful day



It's a good mornin' and I'm feelin' fine
Hey, it's such a lovely day
Oh, smile, a frown would just be pass??짤
I wanna play
Oh, What A Day

It's a good mornin' and I'm feelin' fine (It's a good mornin')
It's a good mornin' and I'm feelin' fine (It's a good mornin')
It's a good mornin' and I'm feelin' fine (It's a good mornin')
It's a good mornin' and I'm feelin' fine

You've had me to love now
But what will you do
If I'm heartaches to you
This livin' like two?

I fear it could be poison
From the taste
Seems my whole life
Should be retraced

What am I gonna do?

When I'm locked in the middle
With a key that's from you
And another one, too
But which door to undo

Visions in the keyhole
Leaves me blind
Oh I should have seen
A warnin' sign

What am I gonna do?

And now it's one or the other
But how can I choose
When there's a chance that
I might lose?

The one that I refuse
All the love of two
Won't leave me free
And losin' you for her
Leaves less of me

What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?

What if I should say I love you
Would you spend some time?
I'll tell you what I'm thinking of you
But if I do, do you have to know why?

When I look at you,
Are you wondering who
I am to do
Such a thing to you.
I bet you know that you're breaking
My heart.
I bet you know, my heart.

What if I should say I love you
Baby, would you steal away my heart
And could the moment last for always
And ever, or should we even start.

When you look at me,
All the world can see
I suddenly
Want your love for me.
I bet you know that you're breakin'
My heart.
I bet you know, my heart.

Maybe someday I would be gone
Then you'd be alone
Wondering what's wrong
How could it begin and then be gone.

Look up, wake up
The sun is shinin'
No it's not tomorrow
It's today.
Stand up, make up
For what you're finding
'Cause anyone who's turned around
And lost his way
Is looking for you.
You are the one
Who only needs to show a smile.
You are the one
Who can make any day be worthwhile.
You are the one.
You are the one.

Shameless, tameless
Are ways about you
And changing them now
Would seem unreal.
Nameless, aimless
Who shouldn't doubt you
I wonder if you really know
What you feel
Hey, I'm talkin' to you.
You are the one
Who only needs to show a smile.
You are the one
Who can make any day be worthwhile.
You are the one.

You better think twice
About leaving me behind,
Make up your mind
About what you're gonna do
You know it ain't easy
When your love hurts night and day
Oh how you please
When I hear you call my name
Breathlessly I await the moment to surround you
Do not fear the song that makes you sing
It'll offer you wings to fly away
But do expect to land if you can't stay

You better think twice
About leaving me behind
Make up your mind
About what you're gonna do
You take my advice
Oh woman, you've got to choose
Take a little time
You got nothing more to lose

In time, you know my melody will haunt you
Your words can make it rhyme so easily
It ain't no sin, ah, when love is real
So come on and let me know just how you feel

You better think twice
About leaving me behind
Make up your mind
About what you're gonna do
You take my advice
Oh woman, you've got to choose
Take a little time
You got nothing more to lose

You don't have to say a word
I can see it in your eyes
I know what you wanna say
It's so hard to say goodbye

I can hold back my tears
And try to be strong
While our love is fallin' apart
I know what I'll say
If you walk away
But what do I do
What do I do with my heart?

I'm not gonna say a word
I know I can't change your mind
You know where you need to go
I know I'll be left behind

I won't hold you back
I won't stand in your way
If you need to make a new start
But I still wanna know
When my arms let you go
What do I do
What do I do with my heart?

Oh, girl, don't you remember?


It was not so long ago
We were makin' plans for two
Just me and you
Now you tell me that you've found somebody
Someone who loves you better
No one could ever love you
The way I do

Tell me you're not leavin' now
Tell me you're not leavin'
Tell me that you're gonna stay
Please say you'll stay with me, baby
Tell me that you love me still
Say you love me still
For this and this alone I pray
Fall down on my knees and pray

I'll do anything
Yes, I would
To save what we have
To keep you by my side
I'll love you 'til death do us part
But what do I do
What do I do
When I'm still missing you?
What do I do
What do I do with my heart?

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax,' said the night man,
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!'

There′s a hole in the world tonight
There′s a cloud of fear and sorrow
There′s a hole in the world tonight
Don′t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow

They say that anger is just love disappointed
They say that love is just a state of mind.
But all this fighting over who is anointed,
Oh, how can people be so blind?

There′s a hole in the world tonight
There′s a cloud of fear and sorrow
There′s a hole in the world toniight
Don′t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow

Oh, they tell me there′s a place over yonder
Cool water running through the burning sand
Until we learn to love one another,
We will never reach the Promised Land

There′s a hole in the world tonight,
There′s a cloud of fear and sorrow
There′s a hole in the world tonight
Don′t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow

(There′s a hole in the world tonight)
They say that anger is just love disappointed
(There′s a cloud of fear and sorrow)
They say that love is just a state of mind
(There′s a hole in the world tonight)
But all this fighting over who will be anointed
(Don′t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow)
Oh, how can people be so blind?

There′s a hole in the world tonight
(Hole in the world)
There′s a cloud of fear and sorrow
(Fear and sorrow)
There′s a hole in the world tonight
(Ooooh)
Don′t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow
(Repeat 4x)

Please Come Home For Christmas
Bells will be ringing this sad sad news
Oh what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby′s gone I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again
Choirs will be singing Silent Night
Christmas carols by candle light
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas by New Years night
Friends and relations
Send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
But this is Christmas
Yeah, it′s Christmas my dear
It′s the time of year to be with the one you love
So won′t you tell me
You′ll never more roam
Christmas and New Year
Will find you home
There be no more sorrow
No grief and pain
And I′ll be happy, happy, once again
Ooo, there be no more sorrow
No grief and pain
And I′ll be happy, Christmas, once again
