The birds they sang at the break of day
Start again I heard them say
Don't dwell on what has passed away
Or what is yet to be

Yeah the wars they will be fought again
The holy dove she will be caught again
Bought and sold and bought again

drink up, baby, stay up all night
the things you could do, you won't but you might
the potential you'll be that you'll never see
the promises you'll only make
drink up with me now and forget all about the pressure of days
do what i say and i'll make you okay and drive them away
the images stuck in your head
people you've been before that you don't want around anymore

There’s perfume burning in the air
Bits of beauty everywhere
Shrapnel flying, soldier hit the dirt

She comes so close
You feel her then
She tells you No and No again
Your lip is cut on the edge of her pleated skirt

Love, oh love, oh careless love,
You've fly though my head like wine
You've wrecked the life
Of many a poor girl
And you nearly spoiled this life of mine

Love, oh love, oh careless love,
In your clutches of desire

Honey please don't cry
Listen to me
There's no reason why
We shouldn't agree

If i hurt your feeling
I apologize
You're the only one

Dreamin'
Makin' my way
Dreamin'
Won't let me stay in your arms
In your warm
In your love

Sleepin'

When we want to love, we love
When we want to kiss, we kiss
With a little petting, we're getting
Some fun out of life

When we want to work, we work
When we wanna play, we play
In a happy setting, we're getting

Lose your keys under the house, lose the button from your blouse,
Lose the plastic diamond ring from the parade-
Lose the color in your lips, lose the swingin' in your hips,
But if you lose me in your grips I must be saved,

Lose the harmonies we learned, lose the taste of bread you earned,
Lose the stash you always kept but never craved-
Lose your rhythm, lose your lines, lose your sense of passing time,

Instead of feelin’ bad, be glad you’ve got somewhere to go
Instead of feelin’ sad, be happy you’re not all alone
Instead of feelin’ low, get high on everything that you love
Instead of wastin’ time, feel good ’bout what you’re dreamin’ of.

Instead of tryin’ to win something you never understood
Just play the game you know, eventually you’ll love her good
It’s silly to pretend that you have something you don’t own

On dit qu’au dela des mers
La-bas sous le ciel clair
Il existe une cite
Au sejour enchante
Et sous les grands arbres noirs
Chaque soir
Vers elle s’en va tout mon espoir

J'avoue
j'en ai
bavé
pas vous
mon amour
Avant
d'avoir
eu vent

Look down, look down
That lonesome road
Before you travel on

Look up, look up
And greet your maker
Before Gabriel blows his horn
I'm weary of toting, such a heavy load

I put on my gloves tonight, pull onto the road to San Berdu
They remind me of hustlers, confidence, men and you
My hands are warm beneath them and easy on the wheel
Without your love and treachery the calm is all I feel

I shiver in the mirror, pull my belt across my hips
The leather's hard in bending as your fingers to my lips
I wrap it tightly in defense as if your arms were near

I've got a lovesick tale to tell to you
Though it ain't no fail of mine
It's about a gal named sue
And a boy named lou
They were fightin' all the time
Sue came home one afternoon
And found an empty dining room

I'm afraid
The oceans wide I'm small
Memories
Haunt me
Of a time before the war
Blue wind rolling
Red sky dawning
Warm skin glowing

Dixie moonlight, Swanee shore
Headed homebound just once more
To my Mississippi delta home

Southland got that grand garden spot
Although you believe or not
I hear those breeze a-whispering
"Come on back to me"

From bad luck, I'm walkin' away
I'm not gettin' stuck, I'm not gonna stay
To good things, I'm movin' ahead
I'm tired of dyin' an' I'm livin' instead

Once in a while I'll wake up
Wonderin' why we gave up?
But once in a while

Sally had a cigaret she wanted a doob
Bob said "You're an addict," Sally said "Well, that's true"
Bob said "Sally, tell me, what's so frightening to you?"
"Well, just being in this city and sitting here with you"

A rag tag rehab clinic ain't nowhere to have fun
The TV's always blaring something really dumb
The attendants and the nurses all have clubs and guns

Stop all this talk, turn off the telephone
Open up another bottle, send those people home
Let it get real quiet, turn that lamp way down low
I'm gonna float down this river of tears

I remember how we spoke on the days he was dry
Even now that he's gone he can make a woman cry
But he saw through me deaf dumb and blind

The summer wind, came blowin' in - from across the sea
It lingered there, so warm and fair - to walk with me
All summer long, we sang a song - and strolled on golden sand
Two sweethearts, and the summer wind

Like painted kites, those days and nights - went flyin' by
The world was new, beneath a blue - umbrella sky
Then softer than, a piper man - one day it called to you

When I hear them say
There's better living
Let them go their way
To that new living
I won't ever stray
'Cause this is heaven to me

Long as freedom grows

A quiet room is what you get, an empty glass, an unmade bed,
A picture window with a view, and all I think about is you
To feel so bad, to feel so good, to let it be misunderstood,
Now I long to lose my senses and love you all over again.

The shouted words, the tired sighs, the traded kiss of sad goodbyes,
The living off of our desires, then putting out a thousand fires:
To feel so bad, to feel so good, to let it be misunderstood,

Weary blues from waitin’
Lord, I’ve been waitin’ so long
These blues have got me cryin’
Oh, sweet daddy please come home

The snow falls ’round my window
But it can’t chill my heart
God knows it died the day you left

(Bob Dylan)

I've seen love go by my door
It's never been this close before
Never been so easy or so slow
Been shooting in the dark too long
When something's not right it's wrong
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

drink up, baby, stay up all night
the things you could do, you won't but you might
the potential you'll be that you'll never see
the promises you'll only make
drink up with me now and forget all about the pressure of days
do what i say and i'll make you okay and drive them away
the images stuck in your head
people you've been before that you don't want around anymore
