The lines are broken between she and I
But the road is as straight as an arrow
We had walked in a beautiful forest
But after a while the trees grew thin
And offered little shade
Now more than ever our lives move of their own volition

I sleep walk in the night

Well I loved the Lone Ranger an' ah loved that Dennis Law
Him an' George Best, sure knew how tae kick a ba'
I wanted tae be a cowboy, an' learn tae crack a whip
Tae stand up in that lonely street, two six guns on ma hip

Along the mighty Beatles came, an' everyone went ahhh
They could play and sing and everything, and of course that John could draw
Well that wis it fur me, ah never once looked back

My, my, my it's a beautiful world.
I like swimming in the sea.
I like to go on beyond the white breakers,
where a man can still be free.
Or a woman if you are one.
I like swimming in the sea.
My, my, my it's a beautiful world.
I like drinking Irish tea.

Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?

There’s a needle in the sole of the city, it’s flying all around
Spray’s a fine mist over, and switches off the sound
I watch you as you slip away, I watch the sun go down
It’s such a perfect light here, here in my hometown

A calm is on the water, the air is very still
The sun it does not want to rise, it doesn’t have the will
the day is all hungover, it’s dirty and lowdown

You say you don’t believe in sorrow
Then why are you so sad?
There’s no need to fear tomorrow
It’s never quite that bad

You have such heart
You’re the precious one
And you will have your day

I knew this piece of string
Ties us together
But will it ever break in two

I don't believe what they say is true
That nothing lives forever
But I keep asking you

drink good coffee every morning
Comes from a place that's far away
And when I'm done I feel like talking
Without you here there is less to say
I don't want you thinking I'm unhappy
What is closer to the truth
That if I lived till I was 102
I just don't think I'll ever get over you

I wake up to the sound of ringing in my ears
I turned it up too loud for way too many ears
I’m walking streets that I have known for mostly all my life
Moving though the motions in my desperate paradise

I’m invisible, to the naked eye
I’m invincible no more no more
I’m invisible as far as I can see

Get out of Hollywood,
Drive into the hills,
Rolldown the top and then just
Throw away your pills.
You'll never forget her,
So why do you even try?
Things'll get easier
As the days go creaking by

I've been standing here
Staring at the mirror
The voice that's in my ear
Is not my friend

I know you're sad and blue
I know and I am too
And now I'm on the train

when i first set eyes on you
first you beat me up
then you kissed me too
we'd throw stones into the sea
there were no others there
just you and me
across the bridge and down the lane
i knew i loved you then

Did someone call my name?
Like a distant drum is beating
Or is it just another dream of long ago?
I dance again I am spinning
In the light I am living
And I can feel the power rushing through my veins
Once upon a time I could do no wrong
For the candle flickers, the flame is never gone

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright

People last great congregation
I tip my hat to the ones, who went before.
My secret voice has the inside information
to let the freedom bell ring
once and for all

It was sayin:
I got to fill my heart with

Somewhere along the river bend
Maybe we will meet again
Things we thought were there at our command
Scattered in the sand, scattered in the sand

I saw the house on Minerva Lane
The gate was shut with lock and chain
Memories of what once was grand

Any minute now my ship is coming in
I'll keep checking the horizon
And I'll stand on the bow
And feel the waves come crashing
Come crashing down, down, down on me

And you said,"Be still, my love
Open up your heart

Any minute now, my ship is coming in
I'll keep checking the horizon
I'll stand on the bow, feel the waves come crashing
Come crashing down down down, on me

And you say, be still my love
Open up your heart
Let the light shine in

Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got;
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away?

All those night when you've got no lights,
The check is in the mail;
