  • great pj song! would love to hear it live. someday. someday.


    saw it at Hershey in '03, effing awesomeness super concentrated!


    what a great day for your warm smile
    it's a shameful tragic lie
    some kind of happiness is all we need to make ourselves worthwhile
    what a great day for your love

    sweet!

    I hope you don't think my smile is a shameful tragic lie :? , but then that's probably just your sig. right? :D

    peace and love

    Baby don't understand why we can't just hold on
    to each other's hands
    This time might be the last if fear unless
    I make it all too clear

    I need you so.

    Take these broken wings
    And learn to fly again
    learn to live so free.
    And when we hear the voices sing

    The book of love will open up and let us in.

    Take these broken wings -
    Baby, I think tonight we can take
    what was wrong and make it right.
    Baby, it's all I know
    that you're half of the flesh @c
    And blood that makes me whole
    need you so.
    So take these broken wings . . .

    Let us in - let us in -
    Baby, it's all I know

    That you're half of the flesh
    And blood that makes me whole

    Yeah
    yeah
    yeah
    yeah
    yeah!
    So take these broken wings . . .
    Take these broken wings . . .

    Wish you were here...

    Hey after reading those lyrics lisn't that Mister Mister? If so I saw them open for Tina Turner in 1985, that lead singer looked like Sting back then. Great concert, with great seats I had for the Hampton Coliseum.

    I did have it spelled that way at first, then I checked the site I got the lyrics from, and they had it this way... I'll change it :oops: ;):mrgreen:

    Your right, he did look like Sting, and the video's really good too... :thumbup:

    I know it's late, I know you're weary
    I know your plans don't include me
    Still here we are, both of us lonely
    Longing for shelter from all that we see
    Why should we worry, no one will care girl
    Look at the stars so far away
    We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
    We've got tonight babe
    Why don' you stay?

    Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely
    All of my hopes, fading away
    I've longed for love, like everyone else does
    I know I'll keep searching, even after today
    So there it is girl, I've said it all now
    And here we are babe, what do you say?
    We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
    We've got tonight babe
    Why don't you stay?

    I know it's late, I know you're weary
    I know your plans don't include me
    Still here we are, both of us lonely
    Both of us lonely

    We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
    Let's make it ast, let's find a way
    Turn out the light, come take my hand now
    We've got tonight babe
    Why don't you stay?
    Why don't you stay?

    Wish you were here...

    If you've got love in your sights
    Watch out, love bites

    When you make love, do you look in the mirror?
    Who do you think of?
    Does he look like me?
    Do you tell lies?
    And say that it's forever?
    Do you think twice, or just touch and see?
    Ooh babe
    Oh yeah
    When you're alone, do you let go?
    Are you wild and willin', or is it just for show?
    Ooh C'mon

    I don't wanna touch you too much baby
    'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
    I know you think that love is the way you make it
    So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it
    No!

    Chorus
    (Love bites, love bleeds)
    It's bringin' me to my knees
    (Love lives, love dies)
    It's no surprise
    (Love begs, love pleads)
    It's what I need

    When I'm with you, are you somewhere else?
    Am I gettin' thru or do you please yourself?
    When you wake up, will you walk out?
    It can't be love if you throw it about
    Ooh babe

    I don't wanna touch you too much baby
    'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
    Oh

    Chorus
    (Love bites, love bleeds)
    It's bringin' me to my knees
    (Love lives, love dies)
    It's no surprise
    (Love begs, love pleads)
    It's what I need

    Spare a little candle
    Save some light for me
    Figures up ahead
    Moving in the trees
    White skin in linen
    Perfume on my wrist
    And the full moon that hangs over
    These dreams in the mist

    Darkness on the edge
    Shadows where I stand
    I search for the time
    On a watch with no hands
    I want to see you clearly
    Come closer than this
    But all I remember
    Are the dreams in the mist

    These dreams go on when I close my eyes
    Every second of the night I live another life
    These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
    Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

    Is it cloak 'n' dagger
    Could it be spring or fall
    I walk without a cut
    Through a stained glass wall
    Weaker in my eyesight
    The candle in my grip
    And words that have no form
    Are falling from my lips

    There's something out there
    I can't resist
    I need to hide away from the pain
    There's something out there
    I can't resist

    The sweetest song is silence
    That I've ever heard
    Funny how your feet
    In dreams never touch the earth
    In a wood full of princes
    Freedom is a kiss
    But the prince hides his face
    From dreams in the mist

    Wish you were here...

    bridges are burning but faces are looking away
    people are yearning for someone to show them the way
    tables keep turning and time is the price that well pay
    fast cars and freedom as long as you learn to obey
    fear is the virus they use to divide us
    hoping well all just pretend
    that theres no other way
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    Love Ain't No Stranger

    Who knows where the cold wind blows,
    I ask my friends, but, nobody knows
    Who am I to believe in love,
    Oh, love aint no stranger

    I looked around an what did I see
    Broken hearted people staring at me,
    All searching cos they still believe,
    Oh, love aint no stranger

    I was alone an I needed love
    So much I sacrificed all I was dreaming of,
    I heard no warning, but, a heart can tell
    Id feel the emptiness of love I know so well

    Love aint no stranger,
    I aint no stranger
    Love aint no stranger,
    I aint no stranger to love, no, no, no

    Cant hold the passion of a soul in need,
    I look for mercy when my heart begins to bleed
    I know good loving an Im a friend of pain,
    But, when I read between the lines its all the same

    Love aint no stranger,
    I aint no stranger
    Love aint no stranger,
    I aint no stranger to love

    So who knows where the cold wind blows,
    I ask my friends, but, nobody knows
    Who am I to believe in love,
    Lord, have mercy,
    Love aint no stranger,
    I aint no stranger

    I was alone an I needed love
    So much I sacrificed all I was dreaming of,
    Cant hold the passion of a soul in need,
    I look for mercy when my heart begins to bleed

    Love aint no stranger,
    I aint no stranger
    Love aint no stranger,
    I aint no stranger to love

    Love aint no stranger,
    Love aint no stranger,
    I aint no stranger...

    The Rose ~

    Some say love, it is a river
    That drowns the tender reed
    Some say love, it is a razor
    That leaves your soul to bleed

    Some say love, it is a hunger
    An endless aching need
    I say love, it is a flower
    And you, its only seed

    It's the heart, afraid of breaking
    That never learns to dance
    It's the dream, afraid of waking
    That never takes the chance

    It's the one who won't be taken
    Who cannot seem to give
    And the soul, afraid of dying
    That never learns to live

    When the night has been too lonely
    And the road has been too long
    And you think that love is only
    for the lucky and the strong

    Just remember in the winter
    Far beneath the bitter snow
    Lies the seed
    That with the sun's love, in the spring
    Becomes the rose


    Wish you were here...

    Very Nice!

    It's been so lonely without you here
    like a bird without a song
    nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
    tell me baby where did I go wrong?
    I could put my arms round every boy I see
    but they'd only remind me of you
    I went to the doctor guess what he told me
    guess what he told me
    he said girl you better try to have fun
    no matter what you do
    but he's a fool

    'cause nothing compares
    nothing compares to you

    All the flowers that you planted mother
    in the backyard
    all died when you went away
    I know that living with you, baby, was sometimes hard
    but I'm willing to give it another try

    nothing compares
    nothing compares to you

    Before you slip into unconsciousness
    I'd like to have another kiss
    Another flashing chance at bliss
    Another kiss, another kiss

    The days are bright and filled with pain
    Enclose me in your gentle rain
    The time you ran was too insane
    We'll meet again, we'll meet again

    Oh tell me where your freedom lies
    The streets are fields that never die
    Deliver me from reasons why
    You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly

    The crystal ship is being filled
    A thousand girls, a thousand thrills
    A million ways to spend your time
    When we get back, I'll drop a line

    Wish you were here...

    I'm a mountain that has been moved
    I'm a river that is all dried up
    I'm an ocean nothing floats on
    I'm a sky that nothing wants to fly in
    I'm a sun that doesn't burn hot
    I'm a moon that never shows it's face
    I'm a mouth that doesn't smile
    I'm a word that no one ever wants to say...

    I don't wanna be,

    I saw him in my dream

    I'm a mountain that has been moved
    I'm a fugitive that has no legs to run
    I'm a preacher with no pulpit
    Spewing a sermon that goes on and on...

    Well if we take all these things and we bury them fast
    And we'll pray that they turn into seeds, to roots and then grass
    It'd be all right, it's all right, it'd be easier that way
    Or if the sky opened up and started pouring rain
    Like he knew it was time to start things over again
    It'd be all right, it's all right, it'd be easier that way

    Well if we take all these things and we bury them fast

    This is such a beautiful song ~

    You're not a stranger to me
    And you are something to see
    You don't even know how to please
    You say a lot...but you're unaware how to leave

    My darling lives in a world that is not mine
    An old child misunderstood...out of time
    Timeless is the creature who is wise
    And timeless is the prisoner in disguise

    Oh who is the beauty...who the beast
    Would you die of grieving when I leave
    Two children too blind to see
    I would fall in your shadow...I believe

    My love is a man who's not been tamed
    Oh...my love lives in a world of false pleasure and pain
    We come from difference worlds...we are the same (my love)
    I never doubted your beauty...I've changed
    I never doubted your beauty...I've changed

    Changed...who is the beauty
    Where is my beast (my love)
    There is no beauty
    Without my beast (my love)

    Who is the beauty
    Who... (my love)
    Ahhh...
    Oh...la bete...la bete
    Where is my beast

    My beauty...my beauty
    My beautiful...beautiful...beautiful
    Beautiful beast

    Wish you were here...

    *Fade Away*.....Junior Byles

    He who seeks of only vanity
    And no love for humanity
    Shall fade away, fade away.

    He who checks for only wealth
    And not for his physical health
    Shall fade away, fade away.

    Though some believe in diamonds and pearl
    And feel like they're on top of the world,
    They shall fade away, hear what I say.

    The rich is getting richer every day,
    And the little that the poor man got it shall be
    taken away.
    Do you hear what I say? Yeah, hear what I say.

    The man who worships silver and gold
    Shall surely, surely, surely lose his own soul,
    Then fade away.

    The one who's always acting smart
    And don't carry no love in his heart
    Shall fade away.

    God is here and there and everywhere
    And he knows when you play the game unfair,
    So people beware, or else you fade away!
    Hey! Beware, or dare you fade away.
    You've gotta fade, gotta fade, gotta fade now.

    The rich is getting richer every day,
    And the little that the poor man got it shall be
    taken away.
    Do you hear what I say, hey? Hear what I say.

    The one who's always acting smart
    And forgetting to carry love in his heart
    Shall fade away.

    God is here and there and everywhere
    And his eyes, his eyes are watching you,
    You're gonna fade away, yeah, yeah,
    You're goin' to fade, fade, fade, fade away...
    Fade away... Yeah, yeah... !

    If I keep holding out,... will the light shine through?
    Under this broken roof,... it's only rain that I feel
    I've been wishing out the days,... come back

    I have been planning out,... all that I'd say to you
    Since you slipped away,... know that I still remain true
    I've been wishing out the days,...

    Please say, that if you hadn't of gone now
    I wouldn't have lost you another way
    From wherever you are,... come back

    And these days, they linger on
    And in the night, as I'm waiting on
    The real possibility I may meet you in my dream
    I go to sleep

    If I don't fall apart,.... will the memories stay clear?
    So you had to go,..... and I had to remain here

    But the strangest thing to date
    So far away
    And yet you feel so close
    And I'm not gonna question it any other way

    There must be an open door
    For you to
    Come back

    And the days, they linger on
    And every night, what I'm waiting for
    Is the real possibility I may meet you in my dream

    And sometimes you're there
    And you're talking back to me
    Come the morning I could swear you're next to me

    And it's okay.

    It's okay.
    It's okay.

    I'll be here
    Come back
    Come back

    I'll be here
    Come back
    Come back

    I'll be here
    Come back
    Come back


    Wish you were here...

    I've been searching for you
    I heard a cry within my soul
    I've never had a yearning quite like this before
    Now that you are walking right through my door

    All of my life
    Where have you been?
    I wonder if I'll ever see you again
    And if that day comes
    I know we could win
    I wonder if I'll ever see you again

    A sacred gift of heaven
    For better, worse, wherever
    And I would never let somebody break you down
    Nor take your crown, never

    All of my life
    Where have you been?
    I wonder if I'll ever see you again
    And if that day comes
    I know we could win
    I wonder if I'll ever see you again
    And everytime I've always known
    That you were there, upon your throne
    A lonely queen without her king
    I longed for you, my love forever

    All of my life
    Where have you been?
    I wonder if I'll ever see you again
    And if that day comes
    I know we could win
    I wonder if I'll ever see you again

    I cry every time I hear this song...

    If I leave here tomorrow
    would you still remember me
    For I must be travelling on now
    there's too many places I gotta see

    And if I stay here with you girl
    things just wouldn't be the same
    For I'm as free as a bird now
    and this bird you cannot change, oh
    and the bird you cannot change
    and this bird you cannot change
    Lord knows I can't change

    Bye bye, baby, it's been sweet love
    though this feeling I can't change
    Please don't take it so badly
    Cause Lord knows I'm to blame

    And if I stay here with you girl
    things just couldn't be the same
    Cause I'm as free as a bird now
    and this bird you cannot change, oh
    and the bird you cannot change
    and this bird you cannot change
    Lord knows I can't change,
    Lord help me I can't change,
    Lord I can't change,
    Won't you fly high free bird, yeah

    Wish you were here...

    I cry every time I hear this song...

    If I leave here tomorrow
    would you still remember me
    For I must be travelling on now
    there's too many places I gotta see

    And if I stay here with you girl
    things just wouldn't be the same
    For I'm as free as a bird now
    and this bird you cannot change, oh
    and the bird you cannot change
    and this bird you cannot change
    Lord knows I can't change

    Bye bye, baby, it's been sweet love
    though this feeling I can't change
    Please don't take it so badly
    Cause Lord knows I'm to blame

    And if I stay here with you girl
    things just couldn't be the same
    Cause I'm as free as a bird now
    and this bird you cannot change, oh
    and the bird you cannot change
    and this bird you cannot change
    Lord knows I can't change,
    Lord help me I can't change,
    Lord I can't change,
    Won't you fly high free bird, yeah

    My lady loves this song me too. :D

    I have climbed highest mountains
    I have run through the fields
    Only to be with you
    Only to be with you
    I have run
    I have crawled
    I have scaled these city walls
    These city walls
    Only to be with you

    But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
    But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

    I have kissed honey lips
    Felt the healing in her fingertips
    It burned like a fire
    (I was) burning inside her

    I have spoke with the tongue of angels
    I have held the hand of a devil
    It was warm in the night
    I was cold as a stone

    But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
    But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

    I believe in the Kingdom Come
    Then all the colors will bleed into one
    Bleed into one
    But yes I'm still running

    You broke the bonds
    And you loosed the chains
    Carried the cross
    Of my shame
    Oh my shame
    You know I believe it

    But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
    But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
    But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

    Wish you were here...

    i've cut all the pertinent wires
    so my eyes can't make that connection
    i am holding my breath
    i am feigning my death
    when i'm lookin in your direction
    don't compete; coexist

    what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

    "I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama

    when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
    i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'

    A most beautiful performance of this song is the unplugged version in the movie Duets at the very end by Andre Braugher- gave me new respect for the song and lyrics

    There's a wonderful club called The Free Bird Cafe in Jacksonville Beach FL run by the former wife of Van Zant, Judy Van Zant. A very cool lady who gave be a beer back stage after she found out I was on the road 13 hours trying to find her very nice two level place. Lynard Skynard Hall Of Fame Inductees of 2006.

    I believe this is what you speak of...Duets - Free as a Bird AWESOME!

    I couldn't get that to work but went and watched on you tube- thanks for posting-
    I do love that and was glad they didn't show what happens to him
    I cry each time I watch that movie over and over each time
    very moving

    :) Another song about fixing people-->

    Fix You

    When you try your best, but you don't succeed
    When you get what you want, but not what you need
    When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
    Stuck in reverse

    And the tears come streaming down on your face
    When you lose something you can't replace
    When you love someone, but it goes to waste
    Could it be worse?

    Lights will guide you home
    And ignite your bones
    And I will try to fix you

    And high up above or down below
    When you're too in love to let it go
    If you never try you'll never know
    Just what you're worth

    Lights will guide you home
    And ignite your bones
    And I will try to fix you

    Tears stream down on your face
    When you lose something you cannot replace
    Tears stream down on your face
    And I...

    Tears stream down on your face
    I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
    Tears stream down your face
    And I...

    Lights will guide you home
    And ignite your bones
    And I will try to fix you
    &&&&&&&&&&&&&&

    When eyes meet in silence
    A pact can be made
    A life-long alliance
    That won't be betrayed
    Be friendly, befriend me now
    Be friendly

    A friend is a friend
    Nothing can change that
    Arguments, squabbles
    Can't break the contract
    That each of you makes
    To the death, to the end
    Deliver your future
    Into the hands of your friend

    Be friendly, befriend me now
    Be friendly


    A promise is a promise
    A handshake will seal it
    No amount of discussion
    Can ever repeat it
    Commitment forever
    To borrow or lend
    Deliver your future
    Into the hands of your friend
    Be friendly, befriend me now
    Be friendly

    When eyes meet in silence, A pact can be made
    [Badger:] You need a pact
    A life-long alliance, That won't be betrayed
    [Crow:] Won't be betrayed
    You need a mate
    [Badger:] You need a mate
    When facing the end
    What is the fate
    [Badger:] What is the fate
    Now facing my friend
    Facing my friend
    What faces my friend
    Be friendly, befriend me now


    A friend is a friend
    Nothing can change that
    Arguments, squabbles
    Can't break the contract
    That each of you makes
    To the death, to the end
    Deliver your future
    Into the hands of your friend


    Be friendly now
    Be friendly now
    Be friendly, befriend me now


    Peace
