The Wind
|
|
I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul Where I'll end up, well, I think only God really knows I've sat upon the setting sun But never, never, never, never I never wanted water once No, never, never, never I listen to my words, but they fall far below I let my music take me where my heart wants to go I swam upon the Devil's lake But never, never, never, never I'll never make the same mistake No, never, never, never |

If I Laugh
|
|
'Cause if I laugh just a little bit Maybe I can forget the chance that I didn't have To know you and live in peace, in peace 'Cause if I laugh just a little bit Maybe I can forget the plans that I didn't use To get you at home, with me, alone 'Cause if I laugh just a little bit Maybe I can recall the way that I used to be Before you and sleep at night and dream 'Cause if I laugh, baby, if I laugh Just a little bit |

Changes IV
|
|
Don't you feel a change coming From another side of time Breaking down the walls of silence Lifting shadows from your mind Placing back the missing mirrors That before you couldn't find Filling mysteries of emptiness That yesterday left behind And we all know it's better Yesterday has past Now let's all start the living For the one that's going to last Yes we all know it's better Yesterday has past Now let's all start living For the one that's going to last Don't you feel the day is coming That will stay and remain When your children see the answers That you saw the same When the clouds have all gone There will be no more rain And the beauty of all things Is uncovered again And we all know it's better Yesterday has past Now let's all start the living For the one that's going to last Yes we all know it's better Yesterday has past Now let's all start living For the one that's going to last Don't you feel the day is coming And it won't be too soon When the people of the world Can all live in one room When we shake off the ancient Shake off the ancient chains of our tomb We will all be born again Of the eternal womb And we all know it's better Yesterday has past Now let's all start the living For the one that's going to last Yes we all know it's better Yesterday has past Now let's all start living For the one that's going to last Let's all start living Let's all start living, living, living, living For the one that's going last |

How Can I Tell You
|
|
How can I tell you that I love you I love you But I can't think of right words to say I long to tell you that I'm always thinking of you I'm always thinking of you But my words just blow away, just blow away It always ends up to one thing, honey And I can't think of right words to say Wherever I am, girl, I'm always walking with you I'm always walking with you But I look and you're not there Whoever I'm with, I'm always, always talking to you I'm always talking to you And I'm sad that you can't hear, sad that you can't hear It always ends up to one thing, honey When I look and you're not there I need to know you, need to feel my arms around you Feel my arms around you Like a sea around a shore Each night and day I pray in hope that I might find you In hope that I might find you Because hearts can do no more, can do no more It always ends up to one thing, honey Still I kneel upon the floor How can I tell you that I love you I love you But I can't think of right words to say I long to tell you that I'm always thinking of you I'm always thinking of you It always ends up to one thing, honey And I can't think of right words to say |

Tuesday's Dead
|
|
If I make a mark in time, I can't say the mark is mine I'm only the underline of the word Yes, I'm like him, just like you, I can't tell you what to do Like everybody else I'm searching through what I've heard Where do you go, when you don't want no one to know Who told tomorrow Tuesday's dead Preacher, won't you paint my dream, won't you show me where you've been Show me what I haven't seen to ease my mind 'Cause I will learn to understand, if I have a helping hand I wouldn't make another demand all my life Where do you go, when you don't want no one to know Who told tomorrow Tuesday's dead What's my sex, what's my name, all in all it's all the same Everybody plays a different game, that is all Now man may live, man may die searching for the question why But if he tries to rule the sky, he must fall Where do you go, when you don't want no one to know Who told tomorrow Tuesday's dead Now every second on the nose, the humdrum of the city grows Reaching out beyond the throes of our time We must try to shake it down, do our best to break the ground Try to turn the world around one more time We must try to shake it down, do our best to break the ground Try to turn the world around one more time Where do you go, when you don't want no one to know Who told tomorrow Tuesday's dead |

Morning Has Broken
|
|
Morning has broken like the first morning Blackbird has spoken like the first bird Praise for the singing Praise for the morning Praise for them springing fresh from the world Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven Like the first dewfall on the first grass Praise for the sweetness Of the wet garden Sprung in completeness where his feet pass Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning Born of the one light Eden saw play Praise with elation Praise every morning God's recreation of the new day Morning has broken like the first morning Blackbird has spoken like the first bird Praise for the singing Praise for the morning Praise for them springing fresh from the world |

Bitterblue

|
I gave my last chance to you Don't hand it back to me, bitterblue No, bitterblue I've done all one man can do Don't pass me up, bitterblue My bitterblue 'Cause I've been running a long time on this travelling ground Wishing hard to be free of going round and round Yes, I've been moving a long time, but only up and down I gave my last hope to you Don't hand it back to me, bitterblue My bitterblue I've done all one man can do Please help me lose this bitterblue My bitterblue 'Cause I've been waiting a long time, aeons been and gone Looking at the horizon for my light to dawn Yes, I've been living a long time, looking on and on I've been running a long time, summers come and gone Drifting under the dream clouds past the broken sun Yes, I've been living a long time to be back beyond I gave my first chance to you Don't hand it back, bitterblue My bitterblue I've done all one man can do Don't pass me up, bitterblue My bitterblue, bitterblue I gave my last chance to you Don't hand it back to me, bitterblue |

I'm being followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow Leaping and hopping on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land If I ever lose my hands If I won't have to work no more And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colours all run dry Yes, if I ever lose my eyes If I won't have to cry no more Yes, I'm being followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow Leaping and hopping on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow And if I ever lose my legs, I won't moan and I won't beg Yes, if I ever lose my legs If I won't have to walk no more And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south Yes, if I ever lose my mouth If I won't have to talk Did it take long to find me, I asked the faithful light Did it take long to find me and are you gonna stay the night I'm being followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow Leaping and hopping on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow Moonshadow, moonshadow Moonshadow, moonshadow |

Now, I've been happy lately Thinking about the good things to come And I believe it could be Something good has begun I've been smiling lately Dreaming about the world as one And I believe it could be Someday it's going to come For out on the edge of darkness There runs the peace train Peace train, take this country Come take me home again I've been smiling lately Thinking about the good things to come And I believe it could be Something good has begun Peace train sounding louder Ride on the peace train Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah Come on the peace train Peace train's a holy roller Everyone jump upon the peace train Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah Come on the peace train Get your bags together Come bring your good friends too Because it's getting nearer It soon will be with you Come and join the living It's not so far from you And it's getting nearer Soon it will all be true Peace train sounding louder Ride on the peace train Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah Come on the peace train Now, I've been crying lately Thinking about the world as it is Why must we go on hating Why can't we live in bliss For out on the edge of darkness There rides the peace train Peace train take this country Come take me home again Peace train sounding louder Ride on the peace train Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah Come on the peace train Peace train's a holy roller Everyone jump upon the peace train Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah Come on the peace train Come on, come on, come on the peace train |
