Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you 'Cause falling in love just makes me blue, Well the music plays and you display your heart for me to see, I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me And I hope that I don't fall in love with you. Well the room is crowded, there's people everywhere And I wonder, should I offer you a chair? Well if you sit down with this old clown, take that frown and break it, Before the evening's gone away, I think that we could make it, And I hope that I don't fall in love with you. I can see that you are lonesome just like me, and it being late, You'd like some some company, Well I've had two, I look at you, and you look back at me, The guy you're with has up and split, the chair next to you's free, And I hope that you don't fall in love with me. And I hope that you don't fall in love with me. Now it's closing time, the music's fading out Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout. Turn around to look at you, you're nowhere to be found, I search the place for your lost face, guess I'll have another round And I think that I just fell in love with you.
My time went so quickly, I went lickety-splickly out to my old '55 Pulled away slowly, feeling so holy, God knows, I was feeling alive. And now the sun's coming up, I'm riding with Lady Luck, freeway cars and trucks, Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer, Oh, Lord, that the feeling's getting stronger. Now six in the morning, gave me no warning; I had to be on my way. Lights passing and trucks a flashing, I'm on my way home from your place. And now the sun's coming up, I'm riding with Lady Luck, freeway cars and trucks.
Mocking Bird high in a tree Looks like you got the best of me Mocking Bird singing his song Well Mocking Bird mocking me now that you're gone Mocking Bird high in a loof Well he's blowing notes on top my roof Mocking Bird singing his song Well Mocking Bird mocking me now that you're gone. Mocking Bird high in a tree Looking up at you, you're looking down at me Mocking Bird high in a loof Well he's blowing notes on top my roof. Mocking Bird high in a tree Looking up at you, you're looking down at me Mocking Bird singing his song Well Mocking Bird mocking me now that you're gone. Throwed some papers, tried to scare him away Just looked down at me and this is what he said Mocking Bird high in a tree Looks like you got the best of me Mocking Bird singing his song Well Mocking Bird mocking me now that you're gone
In between love and trying to scheme love Who can tell what we may find Never thought love, not get caught love Between the magic in your eyes And loves like women, it's cool and breezy Never thought that love could be so easy In between love and trying to scheme love And in between love again In between love and trying to scheme love Who can tell what we may find All this time love, I sublime love To the feelings in my mind Loves like women, it's cool and breezy Never thought that love could be so easy In between love and trying to scheme love And in between love again
Blue skies over my head Give me another reason to get out of bed And blue skies shine on my face Give me another woman to take her place Ain't got no money, cubards are bare No cigarettes and the kids got nothing to wear She walked out without a word Now the only sound left is the morning bird singing Blue skies over my head Give me another reason to get out of bed And blue skies shine on my face Give me another woman to take her place Blue skies over my head Give me another reason to get out of bed And blue skies shine on my face Give me another woman to take her place Give me another woman to take her place
Nobody, nobody, will ever love you the way that I love you Cause nobody's that strong Love's bittersweet, life's treasures deep No one can keep a love that's gone wrong Nobody, nobody, gonna love you the way I could Cause nobody's that strong No nobody's that strong Nobody, nobody, is gonna love you the way that I love you Cause nobody is that strong You've had many lovers, you'll have many others But they'll only just break your poor heart in two And nobody, nobody, will love you the way I could Cause nobody's that strong, no nobody's that strong
I want you, you, you All I want is you, you, you All I want is you Give you the stars above, Sun on the brightest day Give you all my love, if you would only say I want you, you, you All I want is you, you, you All I want is you
I'm leavin' my fam'ly And leavin' my friends My body's at home But my heart's in the wind Where the clouds are like headlines On a new front page sky My tears are salt water And the moon's full and high And I know Martin Eden's Gonna be proud of me And many before me Who've been called by the sea To be up in the crow's nest And singin' my say Shiver me Timbers 'Cause I'm a-sailin' away The fog's liftin' And the sand's shiftin' and I'm driftin' on out And Ol' Captain Ahab He ain't got nothin' on me. So come on and swallow me, don't follow me I'm trav'lin' alone Blue water's my daughter 'n I'm gonna skip like a stone So please call my missus Tell her not to cry 'Cause my goodbye is written By the moon in the sky And nobody knows me I can't fathom my stayin' Shiver me timbers I'm a-sailin' away And the fog's liftin' And the sand's shiftin' I'm driftin' on out Ol' Captain Ahab He ain't got nothin' on me So come on and swallow me, don't follow me I'm trav'lin' alone Blue water's my daughter 'n I'm gonna skip like a stone And I'm leavin' my family Leavin' my friends My body's at home But my heart's in the wind Where the clouds are like headlines On a new front page sky And shiver me timbers I'm a-sailin' away
Grapefruit moon, one star shining, shining down on me. I heard that tune, and now I'm pining, honey, can't you see? That every time I hear that melody, something breaks inside, And grapefruit moon, one star shining, can't turn back the tide. Never had no destination, could not get across. You became my inspiration, oh but what a cost. 'Cause every time I hear that melody, puts me up a tree, And grapefruit moon, one star shining, is all that I can see. Now I'm smoking cigarettes and I strive for purity, And I slip just like the stars into obscurity. 'Cause every time I hear that melody, well, something breaks inside, And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, is much too big to hide.
Diamonds on my windshield Tears from heaven Pulling into town on the Interstate Pulling a steel train in the rain The wind bites my cheek through the wing Fast flying, freway driving Always makes me sing There's a Duster tryin' to change my tune Pulling up fast on the right Rolling restlessly, twenty-four hour moon Wisconsin hiker with a cue-ball head Wishing he was home in a Wiscosin bed fifteen feet of snow in the East Colder then a welldigger's ass Oceanside it ends the ride, San Clemente coming up Sunday desperadoes slip by, gas station closed, cruise with a dry back Orange drive-in the neon billin' Theatre's fillin' to the brim Slave girls and a hot spurn bucket full of sin Metropolitan area with interchange and connections Fly-by-nights from Riverside Black and white plates, out of state, running a little bit late Sailors jockey for the fast lane 101 don't miss it Rolling hills and concrete fields The broken line's on your mind Eights go east and the fives go north The merging nexus back and forth You see your sign, cross the line, signalling with a blink The radio's gone off the air Gives you time to think You ease it out and you creep across Intersection light goes out You hear the rumble As you fumble for a cigarette Blazing through this midnight jungle Remember someone that you met One more block; the engine talks And whispers 'home at last' It whispers, whispers, whispers 'home at last', home at last
The evening fell just like a star Left a trail behind You spit as you slammed out the door If this is love we're crazy As we fight like cats and dogs But I just know there's got to be more So please call me, baby Wherever you are It's too cold to be out walking in the streets We do crazy things when we're wounded Everyone's a bit insane I don't want you catching your death of cold Out walking in the rain I admit that I ain't no angel I admit that I ain't no saint I'm selfish and I'm cruel and I'm blind If I exorcise my devils Well my angels may leave too When they leave they're so hard to find (Chorus) We're always at each other's throats It drives me up the wall Most of the time I'm just blowing off steam And I wish to God you'd leave me And I wish to God you'd stay Life's so different than it is in your dreams (Chorus)
If I was a seagull high in a loof I'd sail to the highest perch on your roof But I ain't no seagull, you know my name And the winds blowin fortune, the winds blowin pain And so it goes, nobody knows How to get to the sky, how to get to the sky If I was a puppy dog in the early dawn I'd make it to your house and sleep on your lawn but I ain'ty no puppydog, you know my name And the wind blows fortune, the wind blows pain and so it goes, nobody knows How to get to the sky, how to get to the sky How to get to the sky, how to get to the sky
Well I'm singing this song, cause it's time it was sung I've been putting it off for a while, Cause it's harder by now, and the truth is so clear That I am crying when I'm seeing you smile. So goodbye, so long, the road calls me dear And your tears cannot bind me anymore, And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone. And every time that I tried to tell you that we'd lost the magic we had at the start, I would weep my heart when I looked in your eyes And I searched once again for the spark. So goodbye, so long, the road calls me dear And your tears cannot bind me anymore, And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone. Oh you know that there's something calling me dear and by morning, I'm sure to be gone For I'm older than you and you know so well That our time for to love was a song So goodbye, so long, the road calls me dear And your tears cannot bind me anymore, And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone. Now I can see by your eyes, it's time now to go So I'll leave you crying in the rain, Though I held in my hand, the key to all joy Honey my heart was not born to be tamed. And goodbye, so long, the road calls me dear And your tears cannot bind me anymore, And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone. Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone.
