Adios
Ran away from home when I was seventeen
To be with you on the California coast
Drinking margaritas all night in the old cantina
Out on, out on the California coast
Don't think that I'm ungrateful
And don't look so morose
Adios, adios
We never really made it baby
But we came pretty close
Adios, adios
Going up north where the hills are winter green
I’ve got to leave you on the California coast
Going where the water's clear and the air is cleaner
Than the California Coast
Our dreams of endless summer
Were just too grandiose
Adios, adios
And I miss the blood red sunset
But I miss you the most
Adios, adios
Adios, adios
Adios, adios
All I Know
I bruise you, you bruise me
We both bruise too easily
Too easily to let it show
I love you, and that's all I know
All my plans have fallen through
All my plans depend on you
Depend on you to help them grow
I love you, and that's all I know
When the singer's gone
Let the song go on...
But the ending always comes at last
Endings always come too fast
They come too fast, but they pass too slow
I love you, and that's all I know
When the singer's gone
Let the song go on
It's a fine line between the darkness and the dawn
They say the darkest night
There's a light beyond
But the ending always comes at last
Endings always come too fast
They come too fast, but they pass too slow
I love you, and that's all I know
That's all I know
That's all I know
By the Time I Get to Phoenix
By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hanging on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says
I'm leaving 'cause I've left that girl so many time before
By the time I make Albuquerque, she'll be working
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringing
Off the wall, that's all
Didn't We
This time we almost made the pieces fit
Didn't we?
This time we almost made some sense of it
Didn't we?
This time I had the answer, right here in my hand
Then I touched it and it had turned to sand
This time we almost sang our song in tune
Didn't we, love?
This time we almost made it, made it to the moon
Didn't we, love?
This time we almost made our poem rhyme
This time we almost made that long hard climb
Didn't we almost make it?
Didn't we almost make it?
Didn't we almost make it this time?
Driftwood
Driftwood
In its voyage
Steered by stars
Blown by wind
Through rainfall
Close ashore
Through the spray
Swept away
To the coastline
Tossed and torn
Thrown high
And falls to rest
Oh, like people
Baby like you and I
We're driftwood
On the sands
Of our lives
We're lately arrived
And we're waiting
For the storm
And the wind
To take us again
From the harbor
To the reef
Driven hard
Wild and free
Like you and I
Like driftwood blown back to the sea
Like driftwood blown back to the sea
Like driftwood blown back to the sea
Easy For You To Say
I heard some talk around this town
Talk about you and me
How a fool fell out of love with you
Wanted to be free
Well that's easy for you to say
That I don't know what I'm doing
That I've thrown our love away
And left my life in ruin
That's easy for you to say
I read your letter again
I'm sure you know the one
"Goodbye," you said like a coward
"It'll be better in the long run"
Well that's easy for you to say
That I don't know what I'm doing
That I've thrown our love away
Left my life in ruin
That's easy for you to say
Go back to her again
Back to the way you were
She's a damn sight better for you
You're a damn sight better for her
Well that's easy for you to say
That I don't know what I'm doing
When you've thrown our love away
Left my life in ruin
That's easy for you to say
Galveston
Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea winds blowing
I still see her dark eyes glowing
She was twenty-one
When I left Galveston
Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannon flashing
And I clean my gun
And I dream of Galveston
I still see her standing by the water
Standing there, looking out to sea
And is she waiting there for me?
On the beach where we used to run
Galveston, oh Galveston
I am so afraid of dying
Before I dry the tears she's crying
Before I see your sea birds flying
In the sun, at Galveston
High Rent Ghetto
In the high rent ghetto
There's a man with a Mercedes Benz
And if he's got the get-go
He just might stay up with his friends
In the Turbo
With the cocaine
And gold plastic cards
And from studio to studio
In Cadillac's he's getting the bends
From climbing too fast
You know, somebody better decompress that boy again
In the ghetto by the swimming pool
Somebody better get him a tour
This whole damn thing will be closin' down
Don't they know he's the nouveau poor
There's a hot demand for condos
Down in the new marina
He's just gotta get one of those
Bodies by Pinan Farina
In the Dino
With the cocaine
Hand him a yard
And from concert to disco
To the office the tunnel extends
That last little fiasco
You know, it almost brought the homestead down
In the clauses stipulated
The long distance runner is trained to endure
But it's hard to win the whole damn race
When the short of breath are the nouveau poor
Honey Come Back
Well honey, I know I've said it many times before
I said I'd never say it again
I guess I shouldn't say anything at all
Since you're supposed to belong to him
But I just can't let you go
But I'm tellin' you just how much I love you
So that is why I'm gonna say it one more time.
Honey, come back I just can't stand it
Each lonely day's a little bit longer
And the last time I held you
Seems like a hundred years ago
Back to his arms and never know
The joy of love that used to taste like
Honey, come back where you belong to only me.
Well, I guess that's about all I gotta say
So I'm just gonna pack my bags and I'm gonna walk
I know those bright lights're callin' you honey big fine cars
and fancy clothes
But if you ever want someone to just love you and some day you just may
Just give me a call you know where I am and here's what I'll say.
Honey come back I just can't stand it
Each lonely day's a little bit longer
And the last time I held you
Seems like a hundred years ago
Back to his arms and never know
The joy of love that used to taste like
Honey, come back where you belong to only me.
Honey, come back where you belong to only me.
Honey, come back where you belong to only me...
How Quickly
Am I an actor in a scene -
Endlessly repeating my first takes?
Or just a fool in a midway sideshow
Doomed to repeat my worst mistakes?
I made a promise to myself
All those lost and lonely years ago
To always hold a little somethin'
Back from love, hold it back from love
How quickly
How quickly we forget
All those lessons we have learned
So swiftly
You turn without regret
To the arms of your new lover
How quickly we forget
I saw the devil in your eyes
But you might have been an angel with the blues
And now the piper's finished playin'
It's time to pay the devil his dues
How quickly
How quickly we forget
All those bridges we have burned
And when you told me
You wished we never met
Seems like it happened in slow motion
How quickly we forget
How quickly
How quickly we forget
Seems like it all goes by so fast
When you're havin' a good time
Oh, and it slips away
(How quickly we forget)
All those little things you do and say (all those little things)
You think they're gonna last forever (but nothing lasts forever)
And you try to hold on (hold on)
Then one day you're lookin' back (oh lookin' back, baby)
Oh, and you don't know where it's gone (oh, you don't know where it's gone)
You never knew what happened (never)
And your memories are all you have (memories are all that you have)
As they fade away...
(How quickly we forget)
(How quickly...)
Just Like Marilyn
First time we see her
She's only sixteen
She already has that careless look
Yet it's already there
In her windblown hair
In the faded photograph
With another millionaire
It's a dog-eared photograph
With a lipstick grin
Stiffy post just like a stylish mannequin
But there's something familiar in her smile
You look at her awhile
Don't it make you feel like a kid again?
Oh, lured you used to come and play
It was Sunday everyday
She used to smile and dress that way
To be like Marilyn
Just like Marilyn
Years quickly go by
Appearances change
Only in films do they stay the same
But I think it's her over there
In the spotlight's glare
In this old Ramada inn bar
Singing 'All In Love Is Fair'
In this overstuffed Naugahyde lounge
With the organ thin
Trying to sound just like a singing violin
But there's something familiar in her style
And if you listen for a while
Can't you hear a heart that is genuine?
Oh, lured you used to come and play
It was Sunday everyday
She threw the rest of life away
To be like Marilyn
Just like Marilyn
It was Sunday everyday
She threw the rest of life away
To be like Marilyn
Just like Marilyn
Marilyn
MacArthur Park
Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants
I recall the yellow cotton dress
It was foaming like a wave
On the ground around your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing
Checkers by the trees
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down
Oh, someone left the cake out in the rain
And I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no, oh no
There will be another song for me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Oh, someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sun
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life, you'll still be the one
Little girl
I will take my life into my hands, I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes oh and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wondering why
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Oh, someone left the cake out in the rain
And I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh no, oh no, no
No Signs of Age
It's a long, long time
Since I've seen your face
I've got crow's feet
And laugh lines to prove it
You've been a long time away
But here we are, almost touching again
How many years has it been?
But you show no signs of age
No sign
Since you were 16 and all mine
The years have been kind
You don't look a day
Older in mind maybe
Still young in your way
Eyes full of stars
Passion and rage
Is it a trick of the light?
You show no signs of age
Why don't you come on in
You can sit right here
And I'll pour you a glass of a good year
We'll toast to renegades
We'll break a glass for mischief we've made
And recall all our mad escapades
But you show no signs of age
No sign
Still clear like a glass of good wine
The secret of youth
It surely is yours
Faith it's the truth
Your beauty endorse
And love never dies
It will not disengage
In my memory tonight
You show no signs of age
In my memory tonight
You show no signs of age
Paul Gaughin in the South Seas
Gauguin
Tired of the climate in Paris
So critically bleak
And his wife and companions who thought he was nothing
But an artistic freak
A most unhappy man
Gauguin
Slept without fire in the winter
And dreamed about Eve and the Garden of Eden
Until he was sure
There was nothing left to leave
Until nothing was pleasing
Nothing made sense anymore
So he took the train down to Marseilles
And went searching for
Paradise
It's just a little further on
Paradise
You know they never miss you till you're gone
I got no more pearls to throw to swine
I cannot turn this water into wine
This bitter cup you offer me does not suffice
I'm gonna go down and look for paradise
[Verse 3]
Gauguin
Got off the boat in Tahiti
With a cargo of freight
And the thieves and the hookers were out there to greet him
He was a hundred years too late
But he knew he couldn't stay
Somethin' was whisperin' his name
So he sailed without looking back
And went searching for
Paradise
It's just a little further on
Paradise
You know they never miss you till you're gone
I've got no more time for fools like you
I've got no more fingers for the turning of the screw
I could use some money but I don't need your advice
I'm gonna keep searching for paradise
'Cause I wanna paint pictures of paradise
And he went out past Moorea
To the island of the moon
Out beyond Maupiti
Where there was no lagoon
'Til there were no more islands
No further places
'Til at last he found the highlands
Of the desolate Marquesas
Gauguin
He finished his days
With his paints and his brushes unconquered and savage
His canvas ablaze
With visions of heaven
He was never at home in the world
But I guess we're all that way
We're searching for
Paradise
It's just a little further on
Paradise
You know they never miss you till you're gone
How much more of this madness can we take?
Why can't they leave a man alone
For heaven's sake?
The reason so few are chosen
Is 'cause few will pay the price
So you gotta keep searchin' for paradise
And you gotta paint pictures of paradise
You gotta lose yourself to find paradise
Paradise...
Paradise
Post Card From Paris
Dear friend of my mine
The Weather's fine
Today, I saw some ruins
Of the Roman world's decline
And I climbed all those Spanish steps
You've heard of them no doubt
But Rome has lost its glory
I don't know what it's about
I wish you were here
When the shadows fall
And all the rushing traffic stills
I wish you were here
When the bells are ringing
On the seven hills
I make my way to a small cafe
I wonder what you did today
Wish you were here
Dear one at home
I just flew in from Rome
And Paris is a postcard
All decked out in color chrome
And so, I climbed the Eiffel Tower
And prayed at Notre Dame
But I just can't find the romance
And I wonder why I came
I wish you were here
On the Champs Elysees
Lovers walk hand in hand
I wish you were here
They take one look at me
And seem to understand
This city of light is a lovely site
The first bright star I see tonight
Wish you were here
Now, I write this from the plane
Drinking cheap champagne
And wondering why
Two people got so far apart
I wish you were here
Here in London
Where the rain the pouring down
I wish you were here
On this airplane
Headed back to New York Town
I'll never leave you alone again
I'm coming home but until then
I Wish you were here
I wish you were here
Wish you were here.
She Moves, Eyes Follow
She moves, and eyes follow
Longing to touch, they want you so much
They stare
She speaks, and all listen
They so want to hear, she draws them all here
They care that she's there
She laughs and laughter follows
Like ripples follow a stone
In pools of fallen rain
She goes, she goes, and light follows
And those who have stayed see the room fade and go grey
How long can I stand with heart hollow
When wherever she moves, my eyes follow her there?
How long can I stand with heart hollow
When wherever she moves, my eyes follow her there?
Skywriter
I'm tired of tracin' vapor trail ghost letters in the sky
And livin' life in daydreams, watchin' precious time get by
Just circlin' around this great big world, just chasin' smoke
And never touchin' ground
Like a skywriter
Rebel without a cause
Drifting without an aim
But I can't seem to give up this flyin' game
I'm a wing walker
Workin' without a net
That's all I've ever been
And sometimes I think I'm ever coming down again
Some people say I'm losing touch with harsh reality
Because I can't accept the way it is with you and me
Stop livin' in the past, like some old pilot from
A war that wouldn't end
Like a barnstormer
Safe with my wires and wings
How could I ever fall
So serenely do I glide above it all
I'm a skywriter
I can't forget you yet
For whatever that is worth
And sometimes I think I'm never comin' back to earth
Skywriter
I can't forget you yet
For whatever that is worth
And sometimes I think I'm never comin' back to earth
Spanish Radio
Cinco De Mayo is just another day
Now that I see it in hindsight
Without the sombreros and huevos rancheros
I wouldn't be caught dead in a cock fight
I don't read those letters you send from L.A
With pictures of El Niño inside
I don't eat fajitas much anymore either
And salty margaritas I just cannot abide
But I still like to listen to Spanish Radio
Think about about the days when José Cuervo was my brand
I tuned in the salsa and remember you in stereo
Even though the words are kinda hard to understand
I still like to listen to Spanish Radio
Make believe we're dancing to a Mariachi band
I guess you didn't love me, and I think you tried to tell me so
Even though your words were kinda hard to understand
piñata is a whole lotta bull--
When you're up to your armpits in snow
The Tijuana Brass can kiss my ass
And I just can't remember to forget the Alamo
But I still like to listen to Spanish Radio
Even here a thousand miles above the Rio Grande
I like the way the people like their music down in Mexico
Even though the words are kinda hard to understand
Mi corazón
I drive along listening to Spanish Radio
Make believe we're dancing to a Mariachi band
It's hard to find a station here in Pocatello, Idaho
I guess it's 'cause the words are kinda hard to understand
But here I am dreaming to Spanish Radio
Make believe we're dancing to a Mariachi band
I guess you didn't love me, and I think you tried to tell me so
Even though your words were kinda hard to understand
Even though your words were kinda hard to understand
Even though your words were kinda hard to understand
Still Within The Sound of My Voice
Where have you gone, my darling one?
Are you on your own?
Are you having fun?
Is it someone to hold when you need it bad?
Is it uncontrolled like the love we had?
Does a day go by like a memory?
Do you ever try to remember me
In an automobile or a crowded bar?
Well, I hope you're alright where ever you are
And if you are still within the sound of voice over some radio
I just want you to know you were always my only choice
And where ever you go then I still love you so,
if you're still within the sound of my voice.
In the dead of night, do you hear me call?
Somethings quite not right, no ones there at all
Did you make a mistake? Was it in your head?
Was it really me talking to your heart instead?
And if you are still within the sound of my voice
watching this video, I just want you to know
That it always made me rejoice
Just to have you so near
There's a place for you here
If you're still within the sound of my voice.
I am calling like the echo of a passing train the cries
one last time before it fades into the distant hills and dies
I am sending out a message like a ship out on the sea in distress
but only you can send a lifeline out to me.
Are you still within the sound of my voice?
Why don't you let me know I just can't let know if it's wrong
then I have no choice but to love you until I no longer have a will
Are you still within the sound of my voice
I am calling like the echo of a passing train that cries
One last time before it fades into the distant hills and dies
The Highwayman
I was a highwayman
Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his life blood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of '25
But I am still alive
I was a sailor
I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide
I sailed a schooner 'round the horn to Mexico
I went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still
I was a dam builder
Across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around..
I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around, and around..
I'll fly a starship
Across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again
and again, and again, and again, and again...
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
See her how she flies
Golden sails across the sky
Close enough to touch
But careful if you try
Though she looks as warm as gold
The moon's a harsh mistress
The moon can be so cold
Once the sun did shine
Lord, it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose
Through the mountains and the pines
And then the darkness fell
And the moon's a harsh mistress
It's so hard to love her well
I fell out of her eyes
I fell out of her heart
I fell down on my face
Yes, I did, and I, I tripped and I missed my star
God, I fell and I fell alone, I fell alone
And the moon's a harsh mistress
And the sky is made of stone
The moon's a harsh mistress
She's hard to call your own.
The Worst That Could Happen
Girl, I heard you're getting married
Girl, I heard you're getting married
This time you're really sure
And this is the end
They say you really mean it
This guy's the one that makes you feel
So safe, so sane and so secure
And baby if he loves you more than me
And baby if he loves you more than me
Maybe it's the best thing
Maybe it's the best thing for you
But it's the worst that could happen to me
I'm never gettin' married, never gettin' married
You know that's not my scene
But a girl like you needs to be married
I've known all along you couldn't live forever
in between
And baby if he loves you more than me
And baby if he loves you more than me
Maybe it's the best thing
Maybe it's the best thing for you
But it's the worst that could happen to me
And girl I don't really blame you
For having a dream of your own
Hey girl I don't really blame you
A woman like you needs a house and a home
Baby if he really loves you more than me
Maybe it's the best thing
Maybe it's the best thing for you
But it's the worst that could happen to me
Oh girl don't wanna get married
Girl I'm never, never gonna marry
Oh it's the worst thing that could happen
Oh girl.....
The Yard Went On Forever
Is everyone safe?
Has everybody got a place to hide?
Is everybody warm inside?
Hear them singing? All the women of Pompei,
Standing with the Kansas City housewives in doorways,
in volcanoes and tornadoes on Doomsday
There were houses, there were hoses, there were sprinklers on the lawn, there was an ironing board,
and she would stand amid her understanding,
and ask the children what they'd done at school that day,
and the yard went on forever.
There were blouses, with print roses, checkered shirts
and white Levis, there was a frying pan,
and she would cook their dreams while they were dreaming, and later she would send them out to play,
and the yard went on forever.
Is everybody safe?
Has everybody got a place to hide?
Is everybody warm inside?
Hear them singing? All the women of Bombay,
Standing with the Nagasaki housewives in doorways,
in eruptions and destructions on Doomsday.
Time Flies
Life begins and spirits rise
And they become memories that vaporize
And the vapor becomes all the dreams we devise
And while we are dreaming, time flies
Night turns to dawn and dreams to sighs
And sighs become sweet love that never dies
And love becomes laughter and lullabies
And while we are dreaming, time flies
While we are dreaming we meet and exchange
Conversations routinely and nothing seems strange
But when we awake there's a sense of unease
That another night's gone just as quick as you please
Night turns to dawn and then bright skies
And bright skies to picnics on warm Julys
To deep umber autumns and winter goodbyes
And while we are dreaming, time flies
While we are dreaming, time flies
Time flies
Time flies
Time flies...
Up, Up and Away
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
We could float among the stars together, you and I
For we can fly we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky
For we can fly we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
Suspended under a twilight canopy
We'll search the clouds for a star to guide us
If by some chance you find yourself loving me
We'll find a cloud to hide us
We'll keep the moon beside us
Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon
Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon
If you'll hold my hand we'll chase your dream across the sky
For we can fly we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
Balloon...
Up, up, and away.....
Where's the Playground Susie
The end has come and found us here
With our toys scattered all around us here
The puzzle that we never found an answer for
Still asks us, darlin', just what all the games were for
And here we stand in a box of sand
Where's the playground Susie?
You're the one who's supposed to know her way around
Where's the playground Susie
If I don't stay around?
If I don't stay around?
The carousel has stopped us here
It twirled a time or two and then it dropped us here
And still you're not content with something about me
But what merry-go-round can you ride without me
To take your hand ?
How would you stand?
Where's the playground Susie
If I decide to let you go and play around?
Where's the playground Susie
If I don't stay around?
If I don't stay around?
Where's the playground Susie?
You're the one who's supposed to know her way around
Where's the playground Susie
If I decide to let you go and play around?
Why Do I Have To… (Make You Say You Love Me)
I always find that you speak your mind
You're sweet and kind as you can be
I know you're tryin' to be open with me
But I've never heard you say the word
Has it occurred to you at all?
You call ten times a day but just to chat
(What's goin', baby?)
You never talk about that
Why do I have to make you say you love me?
(Make you say you love me)
Why do you leave me hangin' in midair?
You say you never lie
But if it's true then why (why)
Do I have to make you say you love me?
Why do I have to take what I can get from you
(Take what I can get from you)
When I've given far more than my share?
You tease me 'til I ache
It hurts for heaven's sake
What will it take to make you say you love me?
So what's my fate, would you set me straight?
Please don't frustrate me even more
I get so tense I almost come unstrung
"(What's the matter, now, baby?)
Cat got your tongue?"
Why do I have to make you say you love me?
(Make you say you love me)
Why do you leave me hangin' in midair?
You say you never lie
But if it's true then why (why)
Do I have to make you say you love me?
Why do I have to take what I can get from you
(Take what I can get from you)
When I've given far more than my share?
You tease me 'til I ache
It hurts for heaven's sake
What will it take to make you say you love me?
You're not playing fair
(Make you say you love me, ooh)
You say you never lie
But if it's true then why (why)
Why do I have to make you say you love me?
Why do I have to take what I can get from you
(Take what I can get from you)
When I've given far more than my share?
You tease me 'til I ache
It hurts for heaven's sake
What will it take to make you say you love me?
Wichita Lineman
I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main roads
Searchin' in the sun
For another overload
I hear you singin' in the wires
I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line
I know I need a small vacation
But it don't look like rain
And if it snows that stretch down south
Will never stand the strain
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line
