Lyrics of the moment

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.
Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.
Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.
Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.
Wish you were here...

I've been learning my lines
I've been chasing my time
I've been changing my mind
For a while
I've been boring my friends
I've been burning both ends
I've been rounding the bend
For a while
Well is it for fame and fortune
Or is it for a better place
Is it for peace and plenty
Or is it for the sake of face
Is it all for the love of you
All for the love of you
All for the love of you
All for the love of you
I've been rolling so high
I've been meaning to try
I've been waving goodbye
For a while
I've been three/four parts stoned
I've been out on my own
I've been moving alone
For a while
And is it for fame and fortune
And is it for a better place
Is it for peace and plenty
Or is it for the sake of face
Is it all for the love of you
All for the love of you
All for the love of you
All for the love of you
I've been learning my lines
I've been changing my mind
I've been chasing my time
For a while
I've been boring my friends
I've been burning both ends
I've been rounding the bend
For a while
Well is it for fame and fortune
And is it for a better place
Is it for peace and plenty
Or is it for the sake of face
Is it all for the love of you
All for the love of you
All for the love of you
All for the love of you
All for the love - of you

Yeah, hey, hey
When somethings dark, let me shed a little light on it
When somethings cold, let me put a little fire on it
If somethings old, I wanna put a bit of shine on it
When somethings gone, I wanna fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When somethings broke, I wanna put a bit of fixin on it
When somethings bored, I wanna put a little exciting on it
If somethings low, I wanna put a little high on it
When somethings lost, I wanna fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When signals cross, I wanna put a little straight on it
If theres no love, I wanna try to love again
I’ll say your prayers, I’ll take your side
I'll find us a way to make light
I'll dig your grave, we'll dance and sing
What's saved could be one last lifetime
hey, hey, hey
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
fight to get it back again, yeah, yeah, yeah
fight to get it back again, yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Wish you were here...

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for a week
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn blackIf nothing is everything, I'll have it all0 -
Vacate is the word
Vengeance has no place so near to her
Cannot find the comfort in this world
Artificial tear
Vessel stabbed
Next up volunteers
Vulnerable wisdom can't adhere
A truant finds home
And I wish to hold on
But there's a trapdoor in the sun
Immortality
As privileged as a whore
Victims in demand for public show
Swept out through the cracks beneath the door
Holier than thou how?
Surrendered, executed anyhow
Scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor
A truant finds home
And I wish to hold on, too
But saw the trapdoor in the sun
I cannot stop the thought
I'm running in the dark
Coming up a which way sign
All good truants must decide
Oh,
Stripped and sold, mom
Auctioned forearm
And whiskers in the sink
Truants move on
Cannot stay long
Some die just to live
Ohh

So many times
I've been fooling myself
It's a hard hand to play
Falls on nobody else
Those in the city
Reaching out to grab hold
Of something they've only heard about
And never been shown
Who do you turn to and what do you say?
When she's got the power and she got the way
Does it matter at all
Who survives and who falls
When we live under darkness
And hide behind walls?
Why would anyone
Even try to hold sway
Over somebody else
In such a small way
Where are the answers
To the problems we face?
Who would teach us
About sharing and living in grace?
Who do you turn to and what do you say
When she's got the power and she got the way?
Does it matter at all
Who survives and who falls
When we live under darkness
And hide behind walls?"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"0 -
Another week in the drivers seat
With your feet up on the dashboard
Rain it kept a steady beat
As I watched you dream of Houston
I ain't never going back
Yes sir that's a fact
As you waved your cowboy hat
And sang 'The Yellow Rose Of Texas'
Just trying to make high ground
Has kept us on the run
There's no crime in toeing the line
Cause fortune is smiling on us baby
And we're gonna walk in the sun
I might dream about Houston
But Houston don't dream about me
If I could keep this between the lines
Who knows what will be
Loose change days and motel nights
Day old coffee dollar postcards
State trooper's flashing lights
As we listen to the thunder
As we talk about our past
So we see our coming future
You tell me you know love can last
While staring out the window
Just looking for a place to hide
A place to ease our minds
A place away from yesterday
Close to tomorrow away from the sorrows
Of living other people's time
I might dream about Houston
But Houston don't dream about me
If I could keep this between the lines
Who knows what will be
How long how long
Till we feel the change
How long how long
Will the skies be gray
How long how long
Will it be this way
How long how long
Will she stay
I might dream about Houston
But Houston don't dream about me
If I could keep it between the lines
Who knows what will be
I might dream about Houston
But Houston don't dream about me
If I could keep it between the lines
Who knows what
Who knows what
Who knows what will be"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"0 -
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
Wish you were here...

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 - Neil Young0 -
I gave you all the love I got
I gave you more than I could give
I gave you love
I gave you all that I have inside
And you took my love
You took my love
Didn't I tell you
What I believe
Somebody say that
A love like that won't last
Didn't I give you
All that I've got to give baby
I gave you all the love I got
I gave you more than I could give
I gave you love
I gave you all that I have inside
And you took my love
You took my love
I keep crying
I keep trying for you
There's nothing like you and I baby
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
When you came my way
You brightened every day
With your sweet smile
Didn't I tell you
What I believe
Did somebody say that
A love like that won't last
Didn't I give you
All that I've got to give baby
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
I keep crying
I keep trying for you
There's nothing like you and I baby
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
Keep trying for you
Keep crying for you
Keep flying for you
Keep flying I'm falling
I'm falling
Keep trying for you
Keep crying for you
Keep flying for you
Keep flying and I'm falling
and I'm falling
Wish you were here...

Pity, take pity on me
Because I'm not half the man that I should be
I'm always turning to run
From the people I should not be afraid of
And darling, you should know
That I have fantasies about being alone
It's like love is a lesson
That I can't learn
So I make the same mistakes at each familiar turn
I know you can't hold out forever
Waiting on a diamond and a tether
From a boy who won't swim
But who will dip his toe in
Just to keep you here with him
I've got this habit I abhor
When we go out, I'm always watching the door
As if there's someone I'm gonna see
Who could out-do the things that you do to me
I know you can't hold out forever
Waiting on a diamond and a tether
From a boy who won't fly
But who will take to the skies
If he thinks you're about to say goodbye
Pity, take pity on me
Because I'm not half the man that I should be
And I don't blame you, you've had enough
With all these empty promises and countless bluffs
I know you can't hold out forever
Waiting on a diamond and a tether
From a boy who won't jump
When he falls in love
He just stands with his toes on the edge
And he waits for it to disappear againIf nothing is everything, I'll have it all0 -
Down to who knows who just to socialize
I'm waitin' for my girls, when you caught my eyes
You got your ways to make a man
Honey, you got to understand
I'm your man, child, Lord Of The Thighs
Well, well, Lordie my God
What do we got here
She's flashin' 'cross the floor
Make it perfectly clear
You're the bait and you're the hook
Someone bound to take a look
I'm your man, child, Lord Of The Thighs
You must have come here to find me
You've got the look in your eyes
Although you really don't mind it
I am the Lord Of Your Thighs
You must have come here to find me
You've got the look in your eyes
Although you really don't mind it
I am the Lord Of Your Thighs
Wish you were here...

"Force Of Nature"
Understand She's a Force of Nature
Contraband hiding deep inside her soul
Exercising her will to lose control
she lets go
Common Man he don't stand a chance no
one to love who allowed his in the hole
no way to save someone who wont take the role
and just let's go
One Man Stands the edge of the ocean
a beacon on dry land
eyes above the horizon
in the dark before the dawn
hurricane has the trade winds blowing
gale force shaking windows in the storm
shipwreck from a love that he calls home
one light on
Somewhere there's a siren singing
solmenly he hears
all the strengths you might think would
disappear resolving
one man stands alone awaiting for her to come home
Eyes above the horizon
in the dark before the
darkness leaves the dawn
Makes me ache
Makes me shake
Is it so wrong to think that
Love can keep us safe?
Last I saw he was out there waiting
a silhouette in the black light full moon
in the sand there he stands upon the shore
Forevermore
somewhere there's a siren singing
solemnly he hears
all the strength
that you might think would disappear, resolving
one man stands alone awaiting for her to come home
eyes are closed, you cannot know
but his heart don't seem to know...
grow...
home....
Wish you were here...

Hey... oooh...
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did.
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything.
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything?
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be... yeah...
Uh huh... uh huh... ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, can't it be mine
Aah... uuh..
Too doo doo too, too doo doo [many times until fade]
Wish you were here...
♥~RIP Dad0 -
its sad. he could only love you0

do you see the way that tree bends?
does it inspire?
leaning out to catch the sun's rays
a lesson to be applied
are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip?
you can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
or you can come to terms and realize
you're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
makes much more sense to live in the present tense
have you ideas on how this life ends?
checked your hands and studied the lines
have you the belief that the road ahead ascends off into the light?
seems that needlessly it's getting harder
to find an approach and a way to live
are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
you can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, oh
or you can come to terms and realize
you're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh
makes much more sense to live in the present tense
Wish you were here...
♥~RIP Dad0 -
Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Glide me towards...
You know something's left
And we're all allowed
To dream of the next
Oh, ohh the next, time we touch...
You don't have to stray
Tho oceans away
Waves roll in my thoughts
Hold tight the ring...
The sea will rise...
Please stand by the shore...
Oh, oh, oh, I will be...
I will be there once more...
Wish you were here...
♥~RIP Dad0 -
You were right about the stars
Each one is a setting sun"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"0 -
lion and the lamb..they're all gone...
