Occurred to me the other day You've been gone now a couple years Well, I guess it takes while For someone to really disappear And I remember where I was When the word came about you It was a day much like today The sky was bright, and wide, and blue
And I wonder where you are And if the pain ends when you die And I wonder if there was Some better way to say goodbye
Today my heart is big and sore It's tryin' to push right through my skin I won't see you anymore I guess that's finally sinkin' in 'Cause you can't make somebody see By the simple words you say All their beauty from within Sometimes they just look away
But I wonder where you are And if the pain ends when you die And I wonder if there was Some better way to say goodbye
Long black limousine Shiniest car I've ever seen The back seat is nice and clean She rides as quiet as a dream
Someone dug a hole six long feet in the ground I said goodbye to you and I threw my roses down Ain't nothing left at all in the end of being proud With me riding in this car and you flying through them clouds
I've had some time to think about it And watch the sun sink like a stone I've had some time to think about you On the long ride home
One day I took your tiny hand Put your finger in the wedding band Your daddy gave a piece of land We made ourselves the best of plans
Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed Forty years of things you say you wish you'd never said How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead? I wonder as I stare up at the sky turning red
I've had some time to think about it And watch the sun sink like a stone I've had some time to think about you On the long ride home
Headlights searching down the driveway The house is dark as it can be I go inside and all is silent And seems as empty as the inside of me
I've had some time to think about it And watch the sun sink like a stone I've had some time to think about you On the long On the long Oh the long On the long ride home
Moon River, wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style some day Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker wherever you're going I'm going your way Two drifters off to see the world There's such a lot of world to see We're after the same rainbow's end waiting 'round the bend my huckleberry friend Moon River and me
You don't know what you feel You don't know what you feel Your mind is blinded by the speed of light But your driving a ton of steel
Jesus left a love divine Then He disappeared Jesus left a love divine But He didn't leave it here
There's a million cars and drivers You can see them from the heavens above And an endless sea of red tailights On a twisted road to love
Your head's a radio Playing a stupid song Your head is a radio And you're singing right along
If you had just one day Would you spend it here? If you had just one day Would you spend it here?
There's a million cars and drivers You can see them from the heavens above And an endless sea of red tailights On a twisted road to love
There's a million cars and drivers You can see them from the heavens above And an endless sea of red tailights On a twisted road to love
I seen you looking at me So smug and so smart I seen you looking at me Spinning around on a music box
Spinning around, spinning around And around on a music box Spinning around, spinning around And around on a music box On a music box On a music box Around, round, round, round
Took a walk around the block Bought a candle it was Flaming red flaming red Thought a thought then I forgot so I sang a happy song In my head in my head
Wore my red shoes Wore my red shoes again Getting worn out from All of the wandering Worn out and holy Holy as Jesus Me and my red shoes Nothing can please us
Stupid girl She was dressed like She deserved everything that she got bloody pumps Dead girl Hey, world Thanks a lot Thanks a lot
Wore my red shoes Wore my red shoes again Getting worn out from All of the wandering Worn out and holy Holy as Jesus Me and my red shoes Nothing can, nothing can please us
Flaming red <i>[x8]</i> Walkin' in my red shoes and I Feel so worn out walkin' in my red shoes and my Soles are torn out Walkin' in my red shoes and I'm Holy as Jesus and I'm Walkin' in my red shoes and Nothing can, nothing can please us Flaming red <i>[x12]</i>
Let's take a ride to the seaside We can go out swimming in the high tide Just wear your shorts and your long hair Don't forget the lawn chair Everybody's gone to the movies Everybody's gone and its groovy They went to the one about the big war I didn't, I'd seen it before
I guess I'm taking my chances Giving up the ring throwing in the gloves I guess I'm taking my chances Trading in my things A couple wings on a little white dove And one big love, one big love
Everybody do like a Monkey If you want to go on and be funky No need to talk like a hero Talk a walk count down to zero No sense defending your honor Just go on and kiss him if you want to Everything before is gone or is going somewhere
I guess I'm taking my chances Giving up the ring throwing in the gloves I guess I'm taking my chances Trading in my things for a couple wings on a Little white dove And one big love one big love I don't know where we are And I don't care And now we're out of gas And riding on air And one big love, one big love
Does anyone remember Tony A quiet boy, little over weight He had breasts like a girl When I wasn't too busy feeling lonely I'd stare over his shoulder At a map of the world He always finished all his homework Raised his hand in homeroom He called the morning attendance With the pledge allegiance to the (gloom) ?
Hey Tony, what's so good about dying He said I think I might do a little dying today He looked in the mirror and saw A little fagot starin' back at him Pulled out a gun and blew himself away
I hated every day of high school It's funny, I guess you did too Its funny how I never knew There I was sitting right behind you They wrote it in the local rag Death comes to the local fag I guess you finally stopped believing That any hope would ever find you Well I know that story, I was sitting right behind you
Hey Tony, what's so good about dying He said I think I might do a little dying today He looked in the mirror and saw A little fagot starin' back at him Pulled out a gun and blew himself away
Hey Tony what's so good about dying, dying Hey Tony what's so good about dying, dying Hey Tony, what's so good about dying He said I think I might do a little dying today He looked in the mirror and saw A little fagot starin' back at him Pulled out a gun and blew himself away Pulled out a gun and blew himself away Pulled out a gun and blew himself away Tony
Dog comes howling up behind you, sinks his teeth in your leg Tells you how now things are going to be a little different And he takes you down a peg You make him ashamed for you, he buys you a new dress Because you make him ashamed for you, he'd like you to took your best So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh And the dog bites down a little harder
Somewhere out in the wild wild west That silly little thing that we tossed, tossed, tossed Somehow we don't talk about nothing else but that Silly little thing that we lost, that we lost, that we lost And now there's no name for you Come to find out none of that shit was even true But now there's no name for you I understand that we lost that too When you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh And the dog bites down a little harder
Change
Man said "Woman I'm a little tired of you" And she said "Don't leave me baby I'll do anything you want me to" And he said "Can't you do something about the mess around this place" She said "Anything baby, anything, I'll cover my face"
You make him ashamed for you, he buys you a new dress Cause you make him ashamed for you in your nakedness So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh Change And the dog bites down a little harder
Maybe they come by land Maybe they come by sea Maybe they've already come Maybe they come by me Slipping into the twilight I ride the broken wave tonight An old song on the radio You knew a long time ago An old song on the radio Going out over the ocean
Maybe it's World War I Maybe its World War III Maybe it's Vietnam Maybe we're on TV Falling into the tall grass Melting into the tall grass Spilling out over the lip and Into the ocean Into the ocean
Carry carry carry me Over the ocean, over the ocean, over the ocean, over the ocean Over the sea
Maybe I've come so far Maybe I'm on my knees Maybe I'm dead or alive Maybe I'm dead or alive Maybe I'm none of these Just an old song on the radio Someone put on a long time ago Going out over the ocean Over and over the ocean Over and over the ocean Over and over the ocean
If you had the real thing how would you tell Liars can say it all just as well Every single word you've heard in vain Baubles of gold, stars in your hair Reflections that told that they were not there And the diamonds on your cheeks have turned to flames
[Chorus] And up in the air they would write your name there But love would fall to pieces in the rain Who would know better than you A hundred love letters and none of them true
Christina, Christina
It's a wondrous world of ridiculous things With nothing so rare as the love that it brings In the silence of a smile that understands A piece of the action, pieces of gold Everyone's paid well and does what they're told For the simple daughter of a simple man
I'll never be sad, I'll never be lonely I'll never be hungry and I'll never be homely Never make a noise when I'm kissing a boy Amen amen Old John Paul is keepin' a tab In his big red folder At night he is dreaming Of hollow candle holders Big is the weight of the world on his shoulders Amen amen amen amen

You know I'm always Keeping my dirty little wiggley fingers to myself I said I'm keeping those dirty little, hey Keeping those dirty little wiggley fingers to myself Keeping those dirty little, oh yeah They'll send me flying right out of St. Francis Xavier With a note to my daddy about my unspeakable behavior And who in the hell said I need a savior anyhow

The farther I come the farther I fall Whatever I knew it was nothing at all Nothing at all, just making me small Smaller and smaller I fall back
Sooner or later with a view from the ground Chasing the race and the races run you down Sooner or later with a view from the ground And a tear in your eye You say baby why can't we fly Into the blue sky High Into the blue sky
Be my singing lesson Be my song When I tell you I'm falling You tell me I'm strong You say trees have grown tall Birds have flown high Higher and higher Goodbye goodbye goodbye I'll fly over a rainbow I'll be sun kissed Sail around the planet Venus And send a long letter Way back home That says all that I know All that I know is the blue sky High in the blue sky
The farther I come the farther I fall Whatever I knew it was nothing at all Trees have grown tall, birds have flown high Higher and higher Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Here's your moon Here's your stars Go now Go now Here's the sun Here's the birds Here's you are Go now Go now
Got a stellar reputation As the star that never fell As the train that left the station As the secret that no one could ever tell Here's the lamp Here's the landing We might never understand it Go now Go now Here's the trees red and gold Here's the snow Here we go now Let's go now
I was waiting for the leap year And got caught out in the rain Singing like a sparrow Always planning my narrow escape
Here's the morning shining on us Here's the twilight upon us Here's the moon Here's the stars Here I am Here you are Let's go now
Mary you're covered in roses, you're covered in ashes You're covered in rain You're covered in babies, you're covered in slashes You're covered in wilderness, you're covered in stains You cast aside the sheet, you cast aside the shroud Of another man, who served the world proud You greet another son, you lose another one On some sunny day and always stay, Mary
Jesus says Mother I couldn't stay another day longer Fly's right by me and leaves a kiss upon her face While the angels are singin' his praises in a blaze of glory Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place
Mary she moves behind me She leaves her fingerprints everywhere Every time the snow drifts, every time the sand shifts Even when the night lifts, she's always there
Jesus said Mother I couldn't stay another day longer Fly's right by me and leaves a kiss upon her face While the angels are singin' his praises in a blaze of glory Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place
Mary you're covered in roses, you're covered in ruin you're covered in secrets You're covered in treetops, you're covered in birds who can sing a million songs without any words You cast aside the sheets, you cast aside the shroud of another man, who served the world proud You greet another son, you lose another one on some sunny day and always stay Mary, Mary, Mary
Hey, Peter Pan I'm going home now I've done all I can Besides I'm grown now I'll think of you all painted with the night You sit and watch from somewhere As one by one the lights go out
I wrote a note to tell you how you matter When the rain came down All the letters scattered And washed away Drifted off to Never Where you'll be safe from me now forever
I believe you now when You say that this will hurt So I don't have to go and Play with you in the dirt now
Hey Peter Pan I'm going home now I'm all grown up Your on your own now I'll think of you all painted with the night You sit and watch from somewhere As one by one the lights go out
