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...

            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
