ON THE WAY HOME

When the dream came I held my breath with my eyes closed

I went insane, like a smoke ring day when the wind blows

Now I won't be back till later on

If I do come back at all

But you know me, and I miss you now

In a strange game I saw myself as you knew me

When the change came, and you had a chance to see through me

Though the other side is just the same

You can tell you dream is real

Because I love you, can you feel it now

Though we rush ahead to save our time

We are only what we feel

And I love you, can you feel it now

Can you feel it now

Can you feel it now

TEACH YOUR CHILDREN

(Ver CSN&Y "Déjà Vu")

TRIAD

You want to know how it will be

Me and her or you and me

You both sit there with your long hair flowing

Your eyes are alive, your minds are still growing

Saying to me "What can we do now that we both love you"

I love you too,

but I don't really see, why can't we go on as three?

You are afraid, embarrassed too,

no one has ever, in your sweet short life, child

Said such a thing to you

Your mother's ghost stands at your shoulder

Got a face like ice

just a little colder

Saying "You cannot do that it breaks all the rules

you learned in the schoolIs"

But I don't really see, why can't we go on as three?

You know we love each other it's plain to see

It's just one answer comes to me

Sister lovers some of you must know about what are brothers

And in time maybe others
So you see what we can do is to try something new

That is if you're crazy too

But I don't really see, why can't we go on as three?

THE LEE SHORE

Wheel, gull spin and glide

you've got no place to hide

It's 'cause you don't need one

All along the Lee shore

shells lie scattered in the sand

Winking up like shining eyes at me

from the sea

Here is one like sunrise

older than you know

It's still lying there where some careless wave

Forgot it long ago

When I awoke this morning

I dove beneath my floating home

Down below her graceful side

In the turning tide

To watch the sea fish roam

There I heard this story from the sailors of the Sandra Marie

There's another island a days' run away from here

And it's empty and free

From here to Venezuela there's nothing more to see

Than a hundred thousand islands

Flung like jewels upon the sea

For you and me

Sunset smells of dinner

Women are calling at me to end my tales

But perhaps I'll see you the next quiet place

I furl my sails.

CHICAGO

Though your brother's bound and gagged

And they've chained him to a chair

Won't you please come to Chicago

Just to sing

In a land that's known as freedom

How can such a thing be fair

Won't you please come to Chicago

For the help that we can bring

We can change the world

Re-arrange the world

It's dying

to get better.

Politician, sit yourself down,

There's nothing for you here

Won't you please come to Chicago

For a ride

Don't ask Jack to help you

'Cause he'll turn the other ear

Won't you please come to Chicago

Or else join the other side

We can change the world

Re-arrange the world

It's dying — if you believe in justice

It's dying — and if you believe in freedom

It's dying — let a man live his own life

It's dying — rules and regulations, who needs them

Throw them out the door

Somehow people must be free

I hope the day comes soon

Won't you please come to Chicago

Show your face

From the bottom of the ocean

To the mountains of the moon

Won't you please come to Chicago

No one else can take your place

We can change the world

Re-arrange the world

It's dying — if you believe in justice

It's dying — and if you believe in freedom

It's dying — let a man live his own life

It's dying — rules and regulations, who needs them

Throw them outthe door

RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES
My head is hanging heavy with the thoughts of him in mind

’Tis sacrilege for us to take advantage of the blind

So, tell before you come to me from out of yonder skies

A man's a man who looks a man right between the eyes

And the pain that we could bring to him I don't think he could beat

Please don't ask me how I know I've just been up that street

And all the people living there have been silenced by there own lies

A man's a man who looks a man right between the eyes

And talking from experience I know how he would feel

Waking up and finding out that his one love wasn't real

But the age of truth will soon appear, Aquarius arrives

A man's a man who looks a man right between the eyes

COWGIRL IN THE SAND

Hello, cowgirl in the sand

Is this place at your command,

Can I stay here for a while

Can I see your sweet sweet smile

Old enough now to change your name

When so many love you is it the same,

It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game

Hello, ruby in the dust

Has your band begun to rust

After all the sin we've had

I was hopin' that we turn back

Old enough now to change your name

When so many love you is it the same

It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game

Hello woman of my dreams

This is not the way it seems

Purple words on a grey background

To be a woman and to be turned down

Old enough now to change your name

When so many love you is it the same

It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game

DON’T LET IT BRING YOU DOWN

Old man lying by the side of the road

With the lorries rolling by,

Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load

And the buildings scrape the sky,

Cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn

And the morning paper flies,

Dead man lying by the side of the road

With the daylight in his eyes,

Don't let it bring you down, it's only castles burning,

Find someone who's turning and you will come around.

Blind man running through the light of the night

With an answer in his hand,

Come on down to the river of sight and you can really understand,

Red lights flashing through the window in the rain,

Can you hear the sirens moan?

White cane lying in a gutter in the lane, if you're walking home alone,

Don't let it bring you down, it's only castles burning,

Just find someone who's turning and you will come around.

Don't let it bring you down, it's only castles burning,
Just find someone who's turning and you will come around.

49 BYE-BYES / AMERICA'S CHILDREN

49 reasons all in a line

All of them good ones, all of them lies.

Drifting with my lady, we're oldest of friends

Need a little work and there's fences to mend.

Steady girl, she was my world.

Till the drifter come, now she's gone.

I let that man play his hand,

I let them go, how was I to know?

I'm down on my knees, nobody left to please.

Now it's over, they left in the spring.

Her and the drifter, lookin' for beautiful things.

All right, what's going down ah yes

Purpertating some kind of myth on us all all right

Taking bout what a drag all the kids are yeah aahh

Making it a little hot for them, you know all right

That America is still the home of the brave oh yes it is

And you got to be brave children

How many is it that they shot down already?

Something like seventeen of us.

But you know we gotta do it

We gotta keep on keeping on

Because if we don't do it nobody else is gonna

But you know if we can't do it with a smile on our face

You know if we can't love in our hearts then children we ain't got no right to do it at all

Because it just means we ain't learned nothing yet

We're supposed to be some kind of different

Ahhh

And I don't know if I want white America to remember or to forget

That Jesus Christ was the first non-violent revolutionary

LOVE THE ONE YOU'RE WITH
When you're down and confused
And you don't remember who you're talking to
Concentration, slips away
Because your baby is so far away
Well there's a rose in the fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with, love the one you're with
Love the one you're with, love the one you're with

Don't be angry, don't be sad
And don't sit crying over good times you've had
There's a girl right next to you
And she's just waiting for something to do
Well there's a rose in the fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with, love the one you're with
Love the one you're with, love the one you're with

Love the one you're with...

Turn your heartache right into joy
She's a girl, and you're a boy
Get it together, make it nice
You ain't gonna need any more advice
Well there's a rose in the fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with, love the one you're with
Love the one you're with, love the one you're with

KING MIDAS IN REVERSE

If you could only see me

And know exactly who I am

You wouldn't want to be me

Oh I can assure you of that

I'm not the guy to run with

'Cos I'll throw you off the line

I'll break you and destroy you

Given time

He's King Midas with a curse

He's King Midas in reverse

He's King Midas with a curse

He's King Midas in reverse

It's plain to see it's hopeless

Going on that way we are

So even though I lose you

You'd be better of by far

He's not the one to hold your trust

Everything around him turns to dust

In his hand

Nothing he can do is right

He'd even like to sleep at night

But he can't

He's King Midas with a curse

He's King Midas in reverse

He's King Midas with a curse

He's King Midas in reverse

I wish someone would find me

And help me gain control

Before I lose my reason and my soul

He's King Midas with a curse

He's King Midas in reverse

He's King Midas with a curse

He's King Midas in reverse

LAUGHING
I thought I met a man who said he knew a man

Who knew what was going on
I was mistaken
Only another stranger
That I knew

I thought that I'd found a light
To guide me through my night
And all my darkness
I was mistaken
It was only reflections of a shadow
That I'd saw

And I thought that I'd seen someone
who seemed at last, yeah, at last
To know the truth
I was mistaken
It was only a child laughing in the sun

Yes, in the sun

MEDLEY: THE LONER, CINNAMON GIRL, DOWN BY THE RIVER
He's a perfect stranger like a cross of himself and a fox

He's a feeling arranger and a changer of the ways he talks

He's the unforeseen danger, the keeper of the key to the lock

Know when you see him, nothing can free him

Step aside, open wide, it's the loner.

If you see him in the subway, he'll be down at the end of the car

Watching you move until he knows he knows who you are

When you get off at your station alone, he'll know that you are

Know when you see him, nothing can free him

Step aside, open wide

I want to live with a cinnamon girl

I could be happy the rest of my life

With a cinnamon girl

A dreamer of pictures, I run in the night

You see us together chasin' the moonlight

My cinnamon girl

Ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow

The drummer relaxes and waits between shows

For his cinnamon girl

A dreamer of pictures, I run in the night

You see us together chasin' the moonlight

My cinnamon girl

Be on my side, I'll be on your side

There is no reason for you to hide

It's so hard for me staying here all alone

When you could be taking me for a ride

She could drag me over the rainbow

And send me away

Down by the river

I shot my baby

Down by the river

Dead

You take my hand, I'll take your hand

Together we may get away

This much madness is too much sorrow

It's impossible to make it today

She could drag me over the rainbow

And send me away

Down by the river

I shot my baby

Down by the river

Dead

Be on my side, I'll be on your side

There is no reason for you to hide

It's so hard for me staying here all alone

When you could be taking me for a ride.

PRE-ROAD DOWNS

I have kissed you, so I'll miss you

On the road I'll be wantin' you

But I have you 'cause I love you,

And you have me 'cause you love me, too.

Felt forsaken, you'll awaken

To the joys of livin' hand in glove.

And then I will lend you my will,

And your days will be filled with love.

Don't run, the time approaches,

Hotels and midnight coaches,

Be sure to hide the roaches.

Felt dejected, as expected,

You rejected all the thoughts of work.

So I'll pray, with

You to stay with me forever, and we'll make it work.

Elevated, you're elated,

'Cause I waited a year for you,

If you're thinkin' what I'm thinkin',

Then I'm gonna make my love to you,

Don't run, the time approaches,

Hotels and midnight coaches,

Be sure to hide the roaches.

LONG TIME GONE

It's been a long time comin'

It's goin' to be a long time gone.

and it appears to be a long

Appears to be a long,

Appears to be a long,

time, yes, a long, long, log time

Before the dawn.

Turn, turn any corner.

Hear, you must hear what the people say,

You know there's something that's goin' on here,

That surely, surely, surely won't stand the light of day.

And it appears to be a long,

Appears to be a long

Appears to be a long, long

Such a long, long, long time before the dawn.

Speak out, speak out against the madness,

speak your mind, If you dare.

But don't try to get yourself elected.

If you do you had better cut your hair.

'Cause it appears to be a long time,

Before the dawn.

It's been a long time comin',

It's been a long time gone.

But you know, the darkest hour,

Is always just before the dawn.

And it appears to be a long time,

Such a long, long, long time before the dawn.

SOUTHERN MAN

Southern man, better keep your head,

Don't forget what your good books said,

Southern change gonna come at last.

Now your crosses are burning fast,

Southern man.

I saw cotton and I saw black,

Tall white mansions and little shacks,

Southern man, when will you pay them back,

I heard screaming and bull whips cracking

How long? How long?

Southern man, better keep your head,
Don't forget what your good books said,
Southern change gonna come at last.
Now your crosses are burning fast,
Southern man.

Lillie Bell, your hair is golden brown,

I've seen your mad man comin' round,

I swear by God I'm gonna cut him down,

I heard screaming and bull whips cracking,

How long? How long?

Southern man, better keep your head,
Don't forget what your good books said,
Southern change gonna come at last.
Now your crosses are burning fast,
Southern man.
