ACHILLES LAST STAND
It was an April morning
When they told us we should go.
And as I turned to you, you smiled at me
How could we say no?
Whoa, the fun to have
To live the dreams we always had.
Whoa, the songs to sing
When we at last return again.

Sending off a glancing kiss
To those who claim they know
Below the streets that steam and hiss,
The devil's in his home.
Whoa, to sail away
Sandy lands and other days.
Whoa, to touch the dream
That hides inside and is never seen, yeah.

Into the sun of south and north
At last the birds have flown.
The shackles of commitment fell
In pieces on the ground.
Whoa, to ride the wind
To tread the air above the din.
Whoa, to laugh aloud
Dancing high above the crowd, yeah.

Seek the man whose pointing hand
The giant step unfolds
With guidance from the curving path
That churns up into stone
If one bell should ring
Celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat
As proud the head with heavy feet, yeah.

Days went by when you and I
Made an eternal summer's glow
As far away and distant
Our mutual time to grow.
Whoa, the sweet refrain
It soothes the soul and calms the pain.
Oh, Albion remains
Sleeping now to rise again.

Wandering the wanderings
What place to rest the search?
Where the mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth

Where the mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth,
From the earth...

I know the way, know the way,
Know the way, know the way.
I know the way, know the way,
Know the way, know the way.

Where the mighty arms of Atlas

Hold the heavens from the earth.

FOR YOUR LIFE
Well, well.
Oh, hoh, hoh
You said I was the only
With my lemon in your hand
Uh-oh, uh-oh-hoh
Exhibition is your habit,
Emotion second-hand
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Had to pull away to save me,
Well, maybe next time around-a, oh.

And she said,
"Don'tcha want, a-don'tcha want cocaine, cocaine, cocaine?"
Hadn't planned to, could not stand'a try it, fry it, ow
Now, now, now, now, yeah.

Wooo-oooh-oooh-oooh-ooh-ooh
Heard a cry for mercy, uh,
In the city of the damned-a
Uh-oh, baby, damn...
In the pits you go no lower,
The next stop's underground
A-ho, how low underground
You wanna know is it quite over
To fame it deals a losin' hand.

And I said,
"Didn't mean to, did not a-mean to fluff it
You didn't plan it, you overran it, aah-ha-ha-how, yeah."

Do you wanna, do you want, do ya, d-do
Do you, would you wanna?
Do you wanna, do you wanna, do you, d-do
Do you, would you wanna?

When you blow it, babe,
You got to blow it right
Baby, if you fake it, mama,
Baby, fake with all your might
When you fake it, mama
Please-a, a-fake it right for yourself, babe
When ya fa-fa-fa-fake it, baby
You're fakin' it for your life, for your life,
For your life, for your life.

Do you, do you, do you, do you, do you
Do you, would you wanna?
Do you, do you, do you, do you, do you
Do you, would you wanna?

Oh, like to help ya, baby
But I don't know what to do-ooh-ooh, yeah
Sometime, baby
Nothin' I can do-ooh-ooh, yeah.

With the fine lines of the crystal
Payin' through your nose
And when they couldn't resist ya
I said, "Just go with the flow."
And now your stage is empty
Pull down the curtain, baby, please
Fold up your show.

Hadn't planned to, could not stand to fry in it
I hadn't planned it, I overran it

Fry it for your life, for your life

ROYAL ORLEANS
One-time love,
Take care how you use it
Try to make it last all night
And if you take your pick,
Be careful how you choose it
Sometimes it's hard to feel it bite.

Feel it bite.

A man I know
Went down to Louisiana,
Had himself a bad, bad fight
And when the sun peeked through
John Cameron with Suzanna,
He kissed the whiskers, left and right.

Whiskers!

Now, now, now, fright subsides
Out at a hotel in the quarter,
Our friends check in to pass the night
Now love gets hot,
But fire preceded water
Poor whiskers set the room alight.

Whiskers!

Down on Bourbon Street,
You know, it's right
You can see, my friend,
They run around all through the night
Most everywhere
Until the closet's bare
Run for the razor fun
Doin' up my hair.

New Orleans queens
Sure know how to schmooze it
Maybe for some that seems alright
When I step out,
strut down with my sugar
She'd best not talk like Barry White!

Now one town love,
Take care how you use it
Try to make it last all night
Take your pick
Be careful how you choose it

Sometimes it's hard to feel it bite, ah.

NOBODY'S FAULT BUT MINE

CANDY STORE ROCK
Well... Oh baby, baby,
Don't you want a man like me?
Oh baby, baby,
I'm just as sweet as anybody could be
Oh baby, baby,
I want to look to your eyes of blue
Oh baby, baby,
It's more than anybody else could do.

Well... Oh baby, baby,
You know, when I see you walkin' down the street,
Oh baby, baby,
Well, you lookin' good enough to eat
Oh baby baby,
I don't believe I've tasted this before
Oh baby, baby,
I want it now and in a month or more.

Yeah, talk about, yeah
Yeah, talk about, yeah.

Oh baby, baby,
You know that I wanted it more
Oh baby baby,
I'm about to kiss goodbye to this store
Oh baby, baby,
It ain't the wrapping that sells the goods
Oh baby, baby,
I got a sweet tooth, but my mouth is full.

Yeah, talk about, yeah
Ooh, yeah, talk about, yeah.

Yeah, talk about, yeah
Ooh, yeah, talk about, yeah.

Ooh, baby, it's alright, it's alright
Ooh, baby, it's alright, it's alright.

Well... Oh baby, baby,
Oh, you sting me like a bee
Oh baby, baby,
I like your honey and it sure likes me
Oh baby, baby,
I got my spoon inside your jar
Oh baby, baby,
Don't give me too much, don't make me starve.

Oh baby, baby,
Sugar sister on a silver plate, huh
Oh baby, baby,
I need a mouthful and I just can't wait, no
Oh baby, baby,
See the shaking in my hand
Oh baby, baby,
Don't mean to fumble 'cause it tastes so bad,
Tastes so bad, tastes so bad,
Tastes so bad, tastes so bad.

Ooh, ooh, baby, it's alright
Oh, it's alright
Ooh, ooh, baby, it's alright
Oh, it's alright
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
It's alright, it's alright
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
It's alright, it's alright
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
It's alright, it's alright
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
It's alright, it's alright
Ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah, ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah
It's alright, it's alright
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah
It's alright, it's alright.

HOTS ON FOR NOWHERE
I was burned in the heat of the moment
No, it coulda been the heat of the day
When I learned how my time had been wasted,
Dear fellows, I turned away.

Now I've got friends who will give me their shoulder
When I should happen to fall
The timing is right growin' older
I've got friends who will give me fuck fall.

La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la na na, my baby
La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la la.

The corner of Bleeker and nowhere
In the land of not quite day
A shiver runs down my backbone
Face in the mirror turns grey.

So I looked 'round to hitch up the reindeer
Searching hard trying to brighten the day
I turned around to look for the snowman
To my surprise he'd melted away, yeah.

La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la na na, my baby
La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la la.

As the moon and the stars call the order
Inside my tides dance the ebb and sway
The sun in my soul's sinking lower
While the hope in my hands turns to clay.

I don't ask that my field's full of clover
I don't moan at opportunity's door
And if you ask my advice, take it slower
Then your story'd be your finest reward.

La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la na na, my baby
La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la la
Now do it.

Lost on the path to attainment
Search in the eyes of the wise
When I bled from the heart of the matter
I started bleeding without a disguise.

Now everything's fine under heaven
Now and then you've got to take time to pause
When you're down on the ground, don't be messin' around
You can land in a boat without oars.

La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la na na, my baby
La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la la.

Hey, babe, oh, hey, babe, oh, hey, babe,
I lost my way.

Hey, babe, oh, hey, babe, oh,
I really, really did.

Hey, babe, oh, hey, babe, oh,
I don't know where I'm gonna find it.

Hey, babe, oh, hey, babe, oh,
Do you wanna know?
Do you really, really wanna help me, yeah?

Let me tell you now, babe
Oh, let me tell you, oh
That it feels so good, that it must be right.

Come on, babe
Oh, let me tell you
If it feels so good, then it must be right.

Come on, babe
Oh, let me tell you, oh
If it feels, if it feels, if it feels, if it feels
So good, oh, so good, oh, so good
Oh, yes

TEA FOR ONE
How come twenty-four hours,
Baby, sometimes seem to slip into days?
Oh, twenty-four hours,
Baby, sometimes seem to slip into days, yeah
When a minute seems like a lifetime,
Oh, baby, when I feel this way.

Sittin', lookin' at the clock,
Oh, time moves so slow
I've been watchin' for the hands to move
Until I just can't look no more.

How come twenty-four hours,
Baby, sometimes seems to slip into days?
A minute seems like a lifetime,
Baby, when I feel this way.

To sing a song for you,
I recall you used to say,
"Oh, baby, this one's for we two,"
Which in the end is you anyway.

How come twenty-four hours,
Baby, sometimes slip into days?
A minute seems like a lifetime,
Oh, baby when I feel this way.

There was a time that I stood tall
In the eyes of other men
But by my own choice I left you, woman,
And now I can't get back again.

How come twenty-four hours
Sometimes seem to slip into days? Yes, well
Well, well, well, well,
A minute seems like a lifetime,
Baby, when I feel this way.

A minute seems like a lifetime,
Oh, baby, when I feel this way, I feel this way.

THE ROVER
I've been to London, seen seven wonders

I know to trip is just to fall

I used to rock it, sometimes I'd roll it

I always knew what it was for

There can be no denyin'

That the wind 'll shake 'em down

And the flat world's flyin'

there’s a new plague on the land

If we could just join hands

If we could just join hands

If we could just join

In fields of plenty when heaven sent me

I saw the kings who rule them all

Still by the firelight and purple moonlight

I hear the rusted rivers call

And the wind is cryin'

Of a love that won't grow cold

My lover, she is lyin'

On the dark side of the globe

If we could just join hands

If we could just join hands

If we could just join hands

You keep me rockin', baby, then you keep me stallin'

Won't you tell me, darlin', which way to go, that's right

Oh how I wonder, oh how I worry

And I would dearly like to know

I've all this wonder of earthly plunder

Will 't leave us anything to show

And our time is flyin'

See the candle burnin' low

Is the new world risin'

From the shambles of the old

If we just join hands

If we could just join hands

If we could just, if we could just

If we could just, if we could just

If we could just join hands, hands

That's all it takes, that's all it takes
That's all it takes, that's all it takes

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Ah, ah, hey

That's right

HOUSES OF THE HOLY
Let me take you to the movies

From the houses of the holy

We can watch the white doves go

From the door comes Satan's daughter

In my hand a sword of gold

Let me wander in your garden

And the seeds of love I'll sow

KASHMIR
Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face

Stars to fill my dreams

I am a traveler of both time and space

To be where I have been

Secret elders of a gentle race

This world is seldom seen

Talk of days for which they sit and wait

All will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace

Whose sounds caress my ear

But not a word I heard could I relate

The story was quite clear

Whoa-oh-hoh, whoa-oh-wa-oh

Oooh, oh baby, I been flyin' Lord, yeah, mama, there ain't no denyin'

Oh, oooh yes, I've been flying Mama ma, ain't no denyin', no denyin'

Oh, all I see turns to brown

As the sun burns the ground

And my eyes fill with sand

As I scan this wasted land

Tryin' to find, tryin' to find where I beeeeen-ahhh-ahhhh

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace

Like thoughts inside a dream

Heed the path that led me to that place

Yellow desert screen

My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon

I will return again

Sure as the dust that floats high in June

When movin' through Kashmir

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails

Across the sea of years

With no provision but an open face

'Long the straits of fear

Wha-oh, wha-oh

Whaoh-oh, oh
Ohhhh

Well, when I want, when I'm on my way, yeah

When I see, when I see the way, you stay, yeah
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, yes

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down

Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there
Oh, oh, come on, come on

Let me take you there

Whoo-ooh, yeah-yeah, whoo-ooh, yeah-yeah, let me take you

IN THE LIGHT
And if you feel that you can't go on

And your will's sinkin' low

Just believe and you can't go wrong

In the light you will find the road, you will find the road

Hey, ooh, did you ever believe that I could leave you

Standing out in the cold

Hey, yeah, baby, I know how it feels 'cause I have slipped through

To the very depths of my soul, yeah

Oh-whoa-oo-ohh, baby, I just wanna show what I'd give you

It is from ev'ry ben' in the road

Now listen to me

Oh, whoa-oo-ohh, as I was and really would be for you, too, honey

As you would for me

Oh, I would share your load

Let me share your load

Ooh, let me share, share your load
And if you feel that you can't go on In the light you will find the road
Hey, ah-hoh, though the winds of change may blow around you

But that will always be so

If you are never alone I would share your load I would share your load

(Instrumental)

DOWN BY THE SEASIDE
Down by the seaside

See the boats go sailin'

Can the people hear, oh

What the little fish are sayin'

Ohhhhh, ooooooh, oh oh, the people turned away

Oh, the people turned away

Down in the city streets

See all the folk go racin', racin'

No time left, no-no

To pass the time of day

Ohhhhhhh, oooooooh

Hey, hey, yeah, the people turned away

The people turned away

So far away, so far away

See how they run, see how they run,

see how they run, see how they run

Run-run, run-run, run-run

Do you still do the twist

Do you find you remember things that well

I wanna tell you

Some folk twistin' every day

Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell

Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, oh

Out in the country

Hear the people singin'

Singin' 'bout their progress

Knowin' where they're goin'

Yeah, yeah

Ahhhhhhh, ooooooooh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, the people turned away

Yes, the people turned away

Sing loud for the sunshine

Pray hard for the rain

And show your love for Lady Nature

And she will come back again

Yes she will, yes she will

Ahhhhhhh, ooooooooh

Oh, oh, oh, the people turned away

The people turned away

Don't they know that they're goin'

TEN YEARS GONE
There as it was

Then again it will be

An' though the course may change sometimes

Rivers always reach the sea
Blind stars of fortune

Each have several rays

On the wings maybe

Down in birds of prey

Kind of makes me feel sometimes

Didn't have to grow

But as the eagle leaves the nest

Got so far to go
Changes fill my time

Baby, that's alright with me

In the midst I think of you

And how it used to be

Did you ever really need somebody

And really need 'em bad

Did you ever really want somebody

The best stuff you ever had

Do you ever remember me, baby

Did it feel so good

'Cause it was just the first time

And you knew you would
Through the eyes an' I sparkle

Senses growing keen

Taste your love along the way

See your feathers preen

Kind of makes makes me feel sometimes

Didn't have to grow

We are eagles of one nest

The nest is in our soul
Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to me

NIGHT FLIGHT
I received a message from my brother 'cross the water

He sat laughin' as he wrote the end's in sight

And ring loud and clear

Unnh, please Mr. Fireman, won't you ring your bell

Tell the people they got to fly away from here
Ohhoaoh, I once saw a picture of a lady with a baby

Suddenly they have a very, very special smile

We are in the middle of a change in destination

When the train stops, all together we will smile

Silent moves through the flames, you come

From the deep behind the sun

Gives my nightmares, my love has gone

The second season I am to know-ooh-oh-ooh-oh

You are the sunlight in my growing

So little warmth I felt before

Ain't so hard to recognize, oh oh oh

These things are clear to all from time to time, ooooh

I've cursed the gloom that set upon us, 'pon us, 'pon us

But I know that I love you so, ohhhhh, whoa

But I know that I love you so, whoa

These are the seasons of emotion

And like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion

This is the mystery of the quotient, quotient
Upon us, upon us all a little rain must fall
Just a little rain, oh, oh
Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah.

OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY
Hey lady, you got the love I need

Maybe more than enough

Oh darlin' darlin', darlin'

Walk a while with me

Oh, you've got so much, so much, so much
Many have I loved

Many times been bitten

Many times I've gazed

Along the open road

Many times I've lied

Many times I've listened

Many times I've wondered

How much there is to know

Many dreams come true

And some have silver linings

I live for my dreams

And a pocketful of gold

Mellow is the man

Who knows what he's been missing

Many many men

Can't see the open road

DANCING DAYS
Dancing days are here again

As the summer evenings grow

I got my flower, I got my power

I got a woman who knows

I said it's all right

You know it's all right

I guess it's all in my heart

You'll be my only, my one and only

Is that the way it should start?

In the way you're wearing your clothes

Sippin' booze is precedent

As the evening starts to glow

You know it's all in my heart

You'll be my only, my one and only

Is that the way it should start?, dig

With a tadpole in a jar

You know it's all right

I said it's all right

I guess it's all in my heart heart heart

You'll be my only, my one and only

Is that the way it should start?

So, dancing days are here again

As the summer evenings grow

NO QUARTER
Close the door, put out the light
Know they won't be home tonight
The snow falls hard and don't you know
The winds of Thor are blowing cold
They're wearing steel that's bright and true
They carry news that must get through
They choose the path where no one goes
They hold no quarter
They hold no quarter.

Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The dogs of doom are howling more
They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for me and you
They choose the path that no one goes
They hold no quarter
They ask no quarter

They hold no quarter
They ask no quarter
(Ah, the pain without quarter)
They ask no quarter
(Ooh, yeah, when I'm callin', callin', callin')
They give no quarter, ah
The dogs of doom are howlin' more
Give me quarter
I hear the dogs of doom a-howlin' more

THE OCEAN
We've done four already, but now we're steady,
and then they went: one, two, three, four.

Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain
Got no time to pack my bag, my foot's outside the door
I got a date, I can't be late for the hellhound headin' forth.

Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar
Play for free and play for me and play a whole lot more, more
Singing about good things and the sun that lights the day
I used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost its way.

I don't know.

La la la-la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lahh
La la la-la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lah
La la la-la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lahh
La la la-la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lah.

Sitting round singing songs 'til the night turns into day
Used to sing on the mountains, but the mountains washed away
Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart
She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start.

Oh, yeah
Sure is fine
I blow my mind
When I feel so good now, a-yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, it's so good!

THE BATTLE OF EVERMORE
The Queen of Light took her bow

And then she turned to go The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom

And walked the night alone

Oh, dance in the dark of night

Sing to the morning light

The dark Lord rides in force tonight

And time will tell us all, hoh

Oh, throw down your plow and hoe

Rest not to lock your homes

Side by side we wait the night

Of the darkest of them all

I hear the horses' thunder

Down in the valley below I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon

Waiting for the eastern glow

The apples of the valley hold

The seas of happiness

The ground is rich from tender care

Repay, do not forget, no, no

Oh, dance in the dark of night

sing to the morning light

The apples turn to brown and black

The tyrant's face is red

Oh, war is the common cry

Pick up you swords and fly

The sky is filled with good and bad

That mortals never know

Oh, well, the night is long

The beads of time pass slow

Tired eyes on the sunrise

Waiting for the eastern glow

The pain of war cannot exceed

The woe of aftermath

The drums will shake the castle wall

The ring wraiths ride in black, ride on

Sing as you raise your bow

Shoot straighter than before

No comfort has the fire at night

That lights the face so cold
Oh, dance in the dark of night

Sing to the mornin' light

The magic runes are writ in gold

To bring the balance back

Bring it back

At last the sun is shining

The clouds of blue roll by

With flames from the dragon of darkness

The sunlight blinds his eyes

Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back

Oh now, oh now, oh now
Oh now, oh now, oh now
Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back

Oh now, oh now, oh now
Oh now, oh now, oh now
Bring it, bring it, bring it
Bring it, bring it

Bring it, bring it

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
There's a lady who's sure

All that glitters is gold

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

When she gets there she knows

If the stores are all closed

With a word she can get what she came for

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh,
and she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall

But she wants to be sure

'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings

In a tree by the brook

There's a songbird who sings

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Ooh, it makes me wonder

Ooh, it makes me wonder

There's a feeling I get

When I look to the west

And my spirit is crying for leaving

In my thoughts I have seen

Rings of smoke through the trees

And the voices of those who stand looking

Ooh, it makes me wonder

Ooh, it really makes me wonder

And it's whispered that soon

If we all call the tune

Then the piper will lead us to reason

And a new day will dawn

For those who stand long

And the forests will echo with laughter

Ohh-ooh ohh-ooh ohh-ooh ohh-ooh ohh hoh

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow

Don't be alarmed now

It's just a spring clean for the May-Queen

Yes, there are two paths you can go by

But in the long run

There's still time to change the road you're on

And it makes me wonder

Ahhh, hoh-hoh

Your head is humming and it won't go

In case you don't know

The piper's calling you to join him

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow

And did you know

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

And as we wind on down the road

Our shadows taller than our soul

There walks a lady we all know

Who shines white light and wants to show

How ev'rything still turns to gold

And if you listen very hard

The tune will come to you at last

When all are one and one is all, yeah-ee-yeah

To be a rock and not to roll

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

MISTY MOUNTAIN HOP
Walkin' in the park just the other day, baby

What do you, what do you think I saw

Crowds of people sittin' on the grass with flowers in their hair said

“Hey, boy, do you wanna score?”

And you know how it is

I really don't know what time it was, whoa oh hoh

So I asked them if I could stay awhile

I didn't notice but it had got very dark and I was really

Really out of my mind

Just then a policeman stepped up to me and asked us said

“Please, hey, would we care to all get in line

Get in line“

Well you know

They asked us to stay for tea and have some fun, hoh hoh oh

He said that his friends would all drop by, ooh ooh ooh ooh

Why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see

And baby, baby, baby, do you like it?

There you sit, sitting spare like a book on a shelf rustin'

Ah, I'm not trying to fight it

You really don't care if they're coming, hoh hoh oh

I know that it's all a state of mind, ooh ooh ooh ooh

If you go down in the streets today, baby, you better

You better open your eyes, whoa-oo-oh yeah

Folk down there really don't care, really don't care, don't care, really don't

Which, which way the pressure lies

So I've decided what I'm gonna do now

So I'm packing my bags for the Misty Mountains

Where the spirits go now

Over the hills where the spirits fly

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

I really don't know

I really don't know

FOUR STICKS
Oh, baby, it's cryin' time

Oh, baby, I've got to fly

Got to try to find a way

Got to try to get away

'Cause you know I gotta get away from you, babe

Oh, baby, the river's red

Ah, baby, in my head

There's a funny feelin' goin' on

I don't think I can hold out long

And when the owls fly in the night

Oh, baby, baby, when the pines begin to cry

Baby, baby, baby, how do you feel?

If the rivers run dry, baby

How would you feel?

Craze, baby, the rainbow's end

Mmm, baby, it's just a den

For those who hide

Who hide their love to depths of life

And ruin dreams that we all knew so, babe

And when the owls fly in the night

Oh, baby, baby, when the pines begin to cry

Oh, baby, baby, baby, how do you feel?

If the rivers run dry, baby

How do you feel?

Ahhh ahhh

Ahhh

And how do you feel?

Ooh yeah, brave I endure

Ooh yeah, strong shields and lore

They can't hold the wrath of those who walk

An' the boots of those who march

Baby, through the roads of time so long ago

GOING TO CALIFORNIA
Spend my days with a woman unkind

Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine

Made up my mind, make a new start

Going to California with an aching in my heart

Someone told me there's a girl out there

With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair

Took my chances on a big jet plane

Never let 'em tell you that they're all all the same

Hoh, the sea was red and the sky was grey

I wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today

The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake

As the children of the sun began to awake, watch out

Seems that the wrath of the Gods

Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow

I think I might be sinking

Throw me a line if I reach it in time

I'll meet you up there where the path

Runs straight and high

To find a queen without a king

They say she plays guitar and cries and sings, la la la la

Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn

Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born

Standing on a hill in a mountain of dreams

Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems, mmm huh-uh

WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
When the levee breaks, I'll have no place to stay.

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, Lord
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
It's got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home
Oh well, oh well, oh well
Ooh.

Don't it make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home
You don't know which way to go?
If you're goin' down south
They got no work to do
If you're going down to Chicago.

A-ah, a-ah, a-ah.

Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good
No, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move, ooh.

All last night sat on the levee and moaned
All last night sat on the levee and moaned
Thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home
Ah-oh.

Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah.

Oh, oh.

Goin'
I'm goin' to Chicago
Goin' to Chicago
Sorry, but I can't take you, ahhh
Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down
Goin' down, goin' down.

Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down now

Goin' down, goin' down-down-down-down-down
