Lady
Lady, you come across the water
Well don't you think you ought to
Be waiting a while
Are you acting
On what your heart has told you
Is nothing gonna hold you
From flying away, a-ha
Flying away a-ha
Flying away
'Cause there's nowhere to go
Though the road is out stretching before you
And the farther you go
I said, Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven
I said, Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven
And you know just who you are
And you know that there's something between us
And you like what you feel
But I can tell that you're not gonna turn back
Well I can tell that you're not gonna turn back
And don't you know I'm a little bit sad
Oh-no
Ooh-la-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la-la
Aaah
Aaah
Aaah
Mister, you better get a move on
You better get a fix on
Mmm, you better walk straight
I said Lady, oh take me if you want me
Oh take me as you find me
Oh, I'm needing your love so bad
I'm needing your love so bad
I'm needing your love
And there's nowhere to go
though the road is out stretching before you
and the farther you go
I said, Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven
I said, Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven
And you know just who you are
And you know that there's something between us
And you like what you feel
But I can tell that you're not gonna turn back
Well I can tell that you're not gonna turn back
And don't you know I'm a little bit sad
Just a little bit sad
Just a little bit sad
Just a little bit sad
Just a little bit sad
Just a little bit
Just a little bit
Ooh-la-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la-la
Aaah
Aaah
Aaah
Oh Darling
Oh darling, will you ever change your mind
I've been feeling left behind
Like a shadow in your light
Ah honey won't you say that I'm the one
And if you think you're gonna run
Well you know
I'm gonna be around you, all about you
Always by your side
I'm gonna dream about you, scheme about you
Love you all the time
I'm gonna catch you lady
Catch you lady
The news is all over town
You better not let me down
Keep telling me you're feeling good
As good as you ever could
Please tell me that you'll never go
Ah ah no no
Ah lately, I'm like a watch that's overwound
And I've got both feet off the ground
Because you see
I'm gonna be so busy, oh my pretty
Love you night and day
And through the rain and shine
I'll make you mine
I'll love you come what may
I'm gonna catch you lady, catch you lady
Catch you lady uh huh
...
Even In The Quietest Moments
Even in the quietest moments
I wish I knew
What I had to do
And even though the sun is shining
Well I feel the rain
Here it comes again, dear
And even when you showed me
My heart was out of tune
For there's a shadow of doubt
That's not letting me find you too soon
The music that you gave me
The language of my soul
Oh Lord, I want to be with you
Won't you let me come in from the cold?
Don't you let the sun fade away
Don't you let the sun fade away
Don't you let the sun be leaving
Won't you come to me soon
And even though the stars are listening
And the ocean's deep
I just go to sleep
And then I create the silent movie
You become the star
Is that what you are, dear?
Your whisper tells a secret
Your laughter brings me joy
And a wonder of feeling
I'm Nature's own little boy
But still the tears keep falling
They're raining from the sky
Well there's a lot of me got to go under
Before I get high
Don't you let the sun disappear
Don't you let the sun disappear
Don't you let the sun be leaving
No, you can't be leaving my life
Say that you won't be leaving my life
Say that you won't be leaving my life
Say won't you please, stay won't you please
Say won't you please, stay won't you please
Lord, won't you come and get into my life
Lord, won't you come and get into my life
Say won't you please, stay won't you please
Say won't you please, stay won't you please
Oh Lord, don't go
And even when the song is over
Where have I been
Was it just a dream?
And though your door is always open
Where do I begin
May I please come in, dear?
Waiting so long
Did you get all you want?
Did you see the whole show?
Where's all the fun
That we used to know?
As the memories fade
Way out of view
I'd love those old days
To come back to you
I've been waiting so long
I'm not feeling so strong
Do you say what you mean?
Do you mean what you say?
About this new scene
Is it really that way?
The blindness goes on
The blindness goes on
You say it's not so
But what do you know?
I've been waiting so long
I'm not feeling so strong
Ain't nothing new, it's just the same old thing
You got me singing those old blues again
Angry music, words of fire
Painted faces filled with rage
Even then they sound so tired
I must be set in my old ways
If this world is unimpressive
It's been that way for quite awhile
I don't need no heavy message
Just turn me on and make me smile
Yes I've been waiting such a long time
Just for something to ring true
Now I'd rather taste the old wine
Than mess around with something new
And the blindness goes on
The blindness goes on
The blindness goes on
The blindness goes on
The blindness goes on
The blindness goes on
The blindness goes on
Babaji
All of my life I felt that you were listening
Watching for ways to help me stay in tune
Lord of my dreams
Although confusion keeps trying to deceive
Oh, what is it that makes me believe in you?
Babaji, oh won't you come to me
Won't you help me face the music
Bring it out so we can sing it out
Help us to find it before we lose it
At night when the stars are near
And there's no one to keep you from coming here
And there's no one to shield me before your eyes
Is it mine, is it mine, is it mine to know?
I can see, it's not too good to me
To be afloat in the sea of glory
Oh Babaji, oh how you comfort me
By showing me it's a different story
Your light in the dark is real
And I know that you know it is how I feel
When I see the reflection that's in your eyes
Is it mine, is it mine, is it mine to know?
Babaji, have you a song for me
To tell the world of its guardian angel
Bring it out so we can sing it out
Oh must you always remain a stranger?
At night when the stars are near
And I long for delusion to disappear
Then I see the reflection that's in your eyes
Is it time, Is it time, Is it time, Is it time
Is it time, Is it time, Is it time to know
oh, oh, oh
I said I'm calling you Babaji - Babaji
I said I'm calling you Babaji - Babaji
oh-oh, sing it Bababji - Babaji
Can you hear me Babaji - Babaji
...
Gone Hollywood
It's just heartbreaking
I should have known that it would let me down
It's just a mind aching
I used to dream about this town
It was a sight to see
The place to be,
Where the living is easy
And the kicks can always be found
It's such a shame about it
I used to think that it would feel so good
But who's to blame about it
So many creeps in Hollywood
I'm in this dumb motel
Near the 'Taco Bell'
Without a hope in hell
I can't believe that I'm still around
Ain't nothin new in my life today
Ain't nothing true it's all gone away
I've had too much cryin', seen too much grief
I'm sick of tryin' it's beyond belief
I'm tired of talking on the telephone
They're trying to tell me that they're not at home
Ain't nothing new in my life today
I'm tired of walking from place to place
I've yet to come across a friendly face
And now the words sound familiar, as them slam the door
"You're not what we're looking for"
Ain't nothing new in my life today
Ain't nothing true it's all gone away
If we only had time, only had time for you
If we only had time, only had time for you
If we only had time, only had time for you
It was a heartbreaking
Now I ride in a big fine car
It was mind aching
I'm the talk of the boulevard
So keep your chin up boy
Forget the pain
I know you'll make it
If you try again
There's no use in quitting
When the world is waiting for you
If Everyone Was Listening
The actors and jesters are here
The stage is in darkness and clear
For raising the curtain
And no-one's quite certain whose play it is
How long ago, how long
If only we had listened then
If we'd known just how right we were going to be
For we dreamed a lot
And we schemed a lot
And we tried to sing of love before the stage fell apart
If everyone was listening you know
There'd be a chance that we could save the show
Who'll be the last clown
To bring the house down?
Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall
Well, what is your costume today?
Who are the props in your play?
You're acting a part which you thought from the start
was an honest one
Well how do you plead?
An actor indeed!
Go re-learn your lines
You don't know what you've done
The finale's begun
If everyone was listening you know
There'd be a chance that we could save the show
Who'll be the last clown
To bring the house down?
Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall
Just Another Nervous Wreck
I'm feeling so alone now
They cut the telephone uh huh
Yeah my life is just a mess
I threw it all away now
I could have made a fortune
I lost the craving for success
And as the acrobats they tumble
So the corn begins to crumble
While in the mirror
She admires a brand new dress
Live on the second floor now
They're trying to bust the door down
Soon I'll have a new address
So much for liberation
They'll have a celebration
Yeah I've been under too much stress
And as the clouds begin to rumble
So the juggler makes his fumble
And the sun upon my wall is getting less
Don't, give a damn
Fight, while you can
Kill, shoot 'em up
They'll run amuck
Shout, Judas
Loud, they'll hear us
Soldier, sailor
Who's your tailor
They'll run for cover when they discover
Everyone's a nervous wreck now
I used to think she was so nimble
Would have bought her as symbol
But now I can't afford the pen to sign her checks
Don't, give a damn
Fight, while you can
Kill, shoot 'em up
They'll run amuck
Shout, Judas
Loud, they'll hear us
Soldier, sailor
Who's your tailor
They'll run for cover when they discover
Everyone's a nervous wreck now
Life's just a bummer they got your number
We'll give as good as we get now
Rise from the gutter, stick with each other
We'll drive 'em over the edge now
They're gonna bleed, that's what they need
We'll get together and blow their cover
We're ready
Yeah we're ready
Yeah we're ready
...
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Leave me out in the pouring rain
With my back against the wall
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Leave me out with nowhere to go
As the shadows start to fall
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Leave me out on this lonely road
As the wind begins to howl
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
All alone on this darkest night
Feeling old and cold and grey
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Leave me holding an empty heart
As the curtain starts to fall
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
All alone in this crazy world
When I'm old and cold and grey
And time is gone
My Kind Of Lady
Let me tell you what I want to say
You're the only one who can make me feel this way
My kind of lady
No better love could I embrace
No better heart, no other face
Can quite compare with you
You came along and then you mend my broken dreams
I was so down and then as foolish as it seems
You gave me your affection
Yeh baby you came through
We'll make it you'll see
In spite of those who say it's wrong
This time we feel that we belong
Now we can truly say
We'll be together and that's all we'll ever need
We'll love each other, that's the way it's gonna be
And nothin' under the sun and moon
Can make us be apart
Oh my honey
You know I'll love you every day
When things go wrong we'll find a way
I'm so glad I met you
Much more than I can ever say
We're making plans and holding hands just like before
We'll try again, we'll make amends along the road
It's feelin' good, just like it should, this time we know
We'll share each other's happiness for now and evermore
I've been wastin' my life away
I've got a message for you today
To tell you that you are
My kind of lady
I'm not the same since I met you
All of my dreams had fallen through
And then you came along
One magic night when things went right it was so fine
Looked in your eyes and realized that you were mine
And nothin' under the sun
Can make us be apart
Oh my baby
You know I'll love you all the way
When times get hard we'll smile and say
I'm so glad I met you
I'll love you more and more each day
We're making plans and holding hands just like before
We'll try again, we'll make amends along the road
It's feelin' good, just like it should, this time we know
We'll share each other's happiness for now and evermore
A Soapbox Opera
I hear, only what I want to hear
But, I have to believe in something
Have to believe just one thing
I said Father Washington, you're all mixed up
Collecting sinners in an old tin cup
Well, spare a listen for a restless fool
There's something missing when I need your rule
Well hey there, You tell me you're a holy man
But, although I'm just a beginner
I don't see you as a winner
I said, Sister Robinson, you're all washed up
Collecting teardrops in a paper cup
If I could tell you what you need to know
If I could help you to get on with the show
Reverend Ebenezer, there's a storm in my head
Makes me hear what you said, just was it true?
So, what have I to do?
Well, what has he to do?
Oh, what is there to do?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Mary, oh tell me what I'm living for
'Cause I feel like I'm tossed in the river
Have you a son to deliver
I said, Father Washington, you're all mixed up
Collecting sinners in an old tin cup
You tell the children what they need to know
But will they listen when it's time to go
Oh, Sister Robinson, you're all wound up
Collecting teardrops in a paper cup
Can someone tell me what I need to know
Can someone help me to get on with the show
Downstream
Took a boat Sunday, down by the sea
It just felt so nice, you and me
We didn't have a problem or a care
And all around was silence, everywhere
You are the reason I was born
Be with you through all seasons, I'll always hear you when you call
We'll keep the love light shining through each night and day
A lonely life behind me, oh what a change you've made
So down here on the ocean we will stay
Went through a lot of changes
Turned a lot of pages
When I took a boat Sunday
To know you as I know you now, that is all I need
And we will get along somehow, if we both believe
So down here on the ocean we will stay
Went through a lot of changes
Turned a lot of pages
When I took a boat Sunday
Fool's Overture
We shall go on to the end
We shall fight on the seas and oceans
We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be
History recalls how great the fall can be
While everybody's sleeping, the boats put out to sea
Borne on the wings of time
It seemed the answers were so easy to find
"Too late", the prophets cry
The island's sinking, let's take to the sky
Called the man a fool, striped him of his pride
Everyone was laughing up until the day he died
And though the wound went deep
Still he's calling us out of our sleep
My friends, we're not alone
He waits in silence to lead us all home
So you tell me that you find it hard to grow
Well I know, I know, I know
And you tell me that you've many seeds to sow
Well I know, I know, I know
Can you hear what I'm saying
Can you see the parts that I'm playing
Holy Man, Rocker Man, Come on Queenie
Joker Man, Spider Man, Blue Eyed Meanie
So you found your solution
What will be your last contribution?
Live it up, rip it up, why so lazy?
Give it out, dish it out, let's go crazy Yeah!
Free As A Bird
When a spirit is broken
Why go on
When there's nothing to say
And a love just a token
It was strong
Now it's fading away
Ah but I'm free as a bird
As I walk right out that door
You have my word
I won't bother you no more
Yes I'm doing alright
As I face the lonely night
And our love it was over
Long ago
But we just didn't say
And the years they have fallen
One by one
How they drifted away
But now I'm free as a bird
As I walk out that door
You have my word
I won't bother you no more
Yes I'm feeling OK
As I face the brand new day
As I face the brand new day
You know I'm free as a bird
As I walk right out that door
You have my word
I won't bother you no more
Yes I'm doing alright
As I face the lonely night
As I face the lonely night
No more sorrows will I find
I've got tomorrow on my side
No more teardrops will I cry
Left my teardrops way behind
No more sorrows will I find
I've got tomorrow on my side
No more teardrops will I cry
Left my teardrops way behind
No more heartaches bother me
Don't wear my heartaches on my sleeve
It's gonna be a brand new story
What's the use of former glory
It's better not to do if you can't do right
It's time to get to celebrating
After all the years of waiting
I'm gonna have a ball if it takes all night
