HELPLESSLY HOPING
Helplessly hoping
Her harlequin hovers near by
Awaiting a word
Gasping at glimpses
Of gentle true spirit
He runs, wishing he could fly
Only to trip at the sound of good-bye

Wordlessly watching
He waits by the window
And wonders
At the empty place inside
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams
He worries
Did he hear a good-bye?
Or even hello?

They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other

Stand by the stairway
You'll see something
Certain to tell you confusion has its cost
Love isn't lying
It's loose in a lady who lingers
Saying she is lost
And choking on her love

They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other

WOODEN SHIPS
If you smile at me, I will understand
'Cause that is something everybody everywhere does in the same language.

I can see by your coat, my friend,
you're from the other side,
There's just one thing I got to know,
Can you tell me please, who won?

Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now,
haven't got sick once.
Probably keep us both alive.

Wooden ships on the water, very free and easy,
Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be,
Silver people on the shoreline, let us be,
Talkin' 'bout very free and easy

Horror grips us as we watch you die,
All we can do is echo your anguished cries,
Stare as all human feelings die,
We are leaving, you don't need us.

Go, take your sister then, by the hand,
lead her away from this foreign land,
Far away, where we might laugh again,
We are leaving, you don't need us.

And it's a fair wind, blowin' warm,
Out of the south over my shoulder,
Guess I'll set a course and go

OHIO
Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are gunning us down
Should have been gone long ago.
What if you knew her and
Found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?

Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are gunning us down
Should have been gone long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?

Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio. (Why?!?)
Four dead in Ohio. (How many more?!?)
Four dead in Ohio. (Why?!?)

FIND THE COST OF FREEDOM
Find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground,
Mother Earth will swallow you,
Lay your body down.

Find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground,
Mother Earth will swallow you,
Lay your body down.

GUINNEVERE
Guinnevere
Had green eyes
Like yours, m'lady like yours
When she'd walk down
Through the garden
In the morning after it rained
Peacocks wandered aimlessly
Underneath an orange tree
Why can't she see me?

Guinnevere
Drew pentagrams
Like yours, lady like yours
Late at night
When she thought
that no one was watching at all on the wall

She shall be free

As she tones her gaze
Down the slope
to the harbor where I lay
Anchored for the day
Guinnevere
Had golden hair
Like yours, lady like yours
Streaming out when we'd ride
Through the warm wind down by the bay
Yesterday
Seagulls circle endlessly
I sing in silent harmony
We shall be free

SUITE: JUDY BLUE EYES
It's getting to the point where I'm no fun anymore
I am sorry
Sometimes it hurts so badly I must cry out loud
I am lonely
I am yours
You are mine
You are what you are
You make it hard

Remember what we've said and done and felt about each other
Oh babe have mercy
Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now
I am not dreaming
I am yours
You are mine
You are what you are
You make it hard

Tearing yourself away from me now
You are free
And I am crying
This does not mean I don't love you
I do, that's forever
Yes, and for always
I am yours
You are mine
You are what you are
You make it hard

Something inside is telling me that I've got your secret
Are you still listening?
Fear is the lock
And laughter the key to your heart
And I love you
I am yours
You are mine
You are what you are
You make it hard...

Friday evening
Sunday in the afternoon
What have you got to lose
Tuesday morning
Please be gone I'm tired of you
What have you got to lose
Can I tell it like it is? (Help me I'm suffering)
Listen to me baby
It's my heart that's a suffering, (Help me I'm dying)
it's a dying
Yeah that's what I have to lose
I've got an answer
I'm going to fly away
What have I got to lose?

Chestnut brown canary
Ruby throated sparrow
Sing the song
Don't be long
Thrill me to the marrow

Voices of the angels
Ring around the moonlight
Asking me
She's so free
How can you catch the sparrow?

Lacy, lilting, leary
Losing love, lamenting
Change my life
Make it right
Be my lady
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do

Que linda me la traiga Cuba,
La reina de la Mar Caribe.
Cielo sol no tiene sangre allí,
y que triste que no puedo vaya,
Oh va, oh va, va
