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
My dream is real
Because I love you,
Can you see me now.

Though we rush ahead
To save our time
We are only what we feel
And I love you,
Can you feel it now.

Sailing heart-ships
Thru broken harbors
Out on the waves in the night
Still the searcher
Must ride the dark horse
Racing alone in his fright.
Tell me why, tell me why

Is it hard to make
Arrangements with yourself,
When you're old enough to repay
But young enough to sell?

Tell me lies later,
Come and see me
I'll be around for a while.
I am lonely but you can free me
All in the way that you smile
Tell me why, tell me why

Is it hard to make
Arrangements with yourself,
When you're old enough to repay
But young enough to sell?

Tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why, tell me why

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
And there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.

Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things
That don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
The whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
And you can tell that's true.

Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.

I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
The whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
And you can tell that's true.

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

When the winter rains
Come pourin' down
On that new home of mine,
Will you think of me
And wonder if I'm fine?
Will your restless heart
Come back to mine
On a journey thru the past.
Will I still be in your eyes
And on your mind?

Now I'm going back to Canada
On a journey thru the past
And I won't be back
Till February comes
I will stay with you
If you'll stay with me,
Said the fiddler to the drum,
And we'll keep good time
On a journey thru the past.

When the winter rains
Come pourin' down
On that new home of mine,
Will I still be in your eyes
And on your mind?
Will I still be in your eyes
And on your mind?

There is a town in north Ontario,
With dream comfort memory to spare,
And in my mind
I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there.

Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us

Helpless, helpless, helpless
Baby can you hear me now?
The chains are locked
And tied across the door,
Baby, sing with me somehow.

Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us

Helpless, helpless, helpless.

Woke up this morning
With love in mind
It was raining outside
But my love still shined
Kept me warm
Till my plane touched the sky

And I've seen love
Make a fool of a man
He tried to make a loser win.
But I've got nothing to lose
I can't get back again.

Man made rules
Been holdin' back my love
Can't hold it back no more.
Churches long preach sex is wrong
Jesus where is nature gone?
What am I doing here?
What am I doing here?
What am I doing here?

Woke up this morning
With love in mind
It was raining outside
But my love still shined
Kept me warm
Till my plane touched the sky

My life is changing
In so many ways
I don't know who
To trust anymore
There's a shadow running
Thru my days
Like a beggar going
From door to door.

I was thinking that
Maybe I'd get a maid
Find a place nearby
For her to stay.
Just someone
To keep my house clean,
Fix my meals and go away.

A maid. A man needs a maid.
A maid.

It's hard to make that change
When life and love
Turns strange.
And old.

To give a love,
You gotta live a love.
To live a love,
You gotta be "part of"
When will I see you again?

A while ago somewhere
I don't know when
I was watching
A movie with a friend.
I fell in love with the actress.
She was playing a part
That I could understand.

A maid. A man needs a maid.
A maid.

When will I see you again?

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?
Its 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 weve had
I was hopin that we turn back
Old enough now to change your name
When so many love you is it the same
Its 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
Its the woman in you that makes you want to play this game.

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 building scrape the sky,
Cold wind ripping
Down the allay 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.

There's a world you're living in
No one else has your part
All God's children in the wind
Take it in and blow hard.

Look around it, have you found it
Walking down the avenue?
See what it brings,
Could be good things
In the air for you.

We are leaving. We are gone.
Come with us to all alone.
Never worry. Never moan.
We will leave you all alone.

In the mountains, in the cities,
You can see the dream.
Look around you. Has it found you?
Is it what it seems?

There's a world you're living in
No one else has your part
All God's children in the wind
Take it in and blow hard.

Bad fog of loneliness
Put a cloud
On my single-mindedness
I dream of sweet caress
From you.

What makes tomorrow guess
What makes me take from me,
And put aside the rest
I dream of sweet caress
From you.

So long woman I am gone
So much pain to go through
Come back maybe I was wrong

Bad fog of loneliness
Put a cloud
On my single-mindedness
I dream of sweet caress
From you.

I caught you knockin'
At my cellar door
I love you, baby,
Can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.

I hit the city and
I lost my band
I watched the needle
Take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done.

I sing the song
Because I love the man
I know that some
Of you don't understand
Milk-blood
To keep from running out.

I've seen the needle
And the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's
Like a settin' sun.

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 cutting us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done 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.

See the sky about to rain,
Broken clouds and rain.
Locomotive, pull the train,
Whistle blowing
Through my brain.
Signals curling on an open plain,
Rolling down the track again.
See the sky about to rain.

Some are bound for happiness,
Some are bound to glory
Some are bound to live with less,
Who can tell your story?

See the sky about to rain,
Broken clouds and rain.
Locomotive, pull the train,
Whistle blowin'
Through my brain.
Signals curlin' on an open plain,
Rollin' down the track again.
See the sky about to rain.

I was down in Dixie Land,
Played a silver fiddle
Played it loud and then the man
Broke it down the middle.
See the sky about to rain.

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

Yeah, she could drag me
Over the rainbow,
Send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river,
Dead, oh, shot her 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.

Yeah, she could drag me
Over the rainbow,
Send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river,
Dead, oh, shot her dead.

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

Yeah, she could drag me
Over the rainbow,
Send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river,
Dead, oh, shot her dead.

Never thought love
Had a rainbow on it
Used to think a cloud
Was a nightmare
That was up until
I first met you
Now I go around
Hoping you care.

Dance, dance,
Feel it all around you
Dance, dance, dance,
Never thought love
Had a rainbow on it
See the girl dance
See the girl dance.

Mississippi mud
Never touched her fingers
California sand
Lies in her hand
Love her more than life
As the daylight lingers
Early in the morning
I'll be her man.

Dance, dance,
Feel it all around you
Dance, dance, dance,
Mississippi mud
Never touched her fingers
See the girl dance
See the girl dance.

I am a child, I'll last a while.
You can't conceive
Of the pleasure in my smile.
You hold my hand,
Rough up my hair,
It's lots of fun
To have you there.

God gave to you,
Now, you give to me,
I'd like to know
What you learned.
The sky is blue
And so is the sea.
What is the color,
When black is burned?
What is the color?

You are a man, you understand.
You pick me up
And you lay me down again.
You make the rules,
You say what's fair,
It's lots of fun
To have you there.

God gave to you,
Now, you give to me,
I'd like to know
What you learned.
The sky is blue
And so is the sea.
What is the color,
When black is burned?
What is the color?

I am a child, I'll last a while.
You can't conceive
Of the pleasure in my smile.
