I can't blame you but it's a shame
you can't cover your ass sometimes.
It's that kind of town and you're so far down you can't get up.
I can't tell you what to sell and how to tow the line
and when to just give up.
Calling out to everyone who tried to run. You tried to run.
Don't be so easy on yourself
'cause this one might be all that you have left.
Rearrange the voices in your head and remember what they said.
Don't be so easy on yourself.
You got it down, you been around
and you won't change your life
for redneck cops and traffic stops and residue
but I can't tell you all the hell they'll put you through inside
and what they'll do to you.
Ten years down the road you'll find you're left behind. You're left behind.
Don't be so easy on yourself
'cause this one might be all that you have left.
Rearrange the voices in your head and remember what they said.
Don't be so easy on yourself.
Calling out to everyone who tried to run. You tried to run.
Don't be so easy on yourself
'cause this one might be all that you have left.
Rearrange the voices in your head and remember what they said.
Don't be so easy on yourself....

I will come to you in the daytime
I will raise you from your sleep
I will kiss you in four places
As I go runnin' down your street
I'll squeeze the life right out of you
I will make you laugh and make you cry
And we may never forget it
As I make you call my name
as you shout it to the blue, summer sky
And we may never meet again
So shed your skin lets get started
And you will throw your arms around me
I will come to you at nightime
I will climb into your bed
I will kiss you in 155 places
As I go swimmin' round in your head
I will squeeze the life right out of you
I will make you laugh and make you cry
And we may never forget it
As I make you call my name
as you shout it to the blue, summer sky
And we may never meet again
So shed your skin lets get started
And you will throw your arms around me
Oh I see you stare spiraling up there
Into the center of my brain and baby come baby go
And free the hurricane oh I go into the center of the airplane
Baby gotta move to the center of my pain
And my heart starts pumping my fists start pumping
Upset total abandon upset you know I love you so
Upset total abandon
Oh I see you stare spiraling up there and oh
Into the center of my brain and baby come baby go
And free the hurricane oh I go into the center of the airplane
Baby gotta box in the center of the ring
And my heart starts pumping my fists start pumping
Upset total abandon you know I love you so
Total abandon oh I go into the center of the airplane
Baby gotta go to the center of my brain
And my heart starts pumping my fists start pumping
got no recollection of my past reflection
So I'm free to move in the resurrection
My heart starts pumping my fists start pumping
My heart pumping my heart pumping my heart pumping
Coming in the airport coming in the sea coming in the garden
Got a conscious stream coming in a washroom coming on a plane
Coming in a force field coming in my brain and my heart
My heart total abandon total abandon total abandon total
Abandon total abandon total abandon total abandon
Oh I go into the center of the airplane
Baby gotta move to the center of my brain
My heart
this is from the san francisco band called WATERS. i saw them open up for nada surf last week and this was the song that they closed with. he completely unplugged his mic and his guitar and was completely acoustic and only asked the crowd to yell "FOREVER" only after he said it. i actually recorded it and once i post it on youtube i will post it here. turns out this is one of my all time favorite songs and i first heard it 5 days ago....funny how things like that happen...
Never thought to light a candle
Never thought I had to gamble
I was feeling Mickey Mantle... Wasted
Driving up the one and frantic
Turned into an old romantic
I was sleeping in the attic... Waiting
Can't nobody ever see
Don't make a mess of me
I aint too old to give a shit
I can turn a train around
I can take your country down
I aint to young to regret
Forever,
Forever,
Forever,
I aint too young
Forever,
Forever,
I aint too young
Forever,
Forever,
I aint too young
I was in New York living
Waiting in the cold Thanksgiving
Hoping I could ever dare to embrace it
I can play a part uptown
I can keep my nose on the ground
Never thought I'd ever care just to face it
Can't nobody understand
I was just a foolish fan
Taken to the edge just to see
Who said your mother was right
Who said your friends were just blind
Who could tell you that I was free
Forever,
Forever,
Forever,
I aint to young
Forever,
Forever,
I aint to young
Forever,
Forever,
I aint to young
Forever,
Forever,
I aint to young
I was in New York living
Waiting in the cold Thanksgiving
Hoping I could ever dare to embrace it....
edit to add, here is the video i recorded at old rock house in st louis on 6/25/12....turn up the volume since it is completely acoustic and unplugged.....
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... !
Peace

Live and direct we comin' never pre-recorded

whoop! whoop!
we comin' listener supported
Don't take no prisoners if can't afford to feed none
don't start no fights if you can't predict the outcome
don't make donations where you cannot get your dough back
fuck the apathetic bullshittas send em' all your prozac
I will not climb into your telephone tree
and "hell no you can't put me on hold!"
it's the same recorded message you'd been singin' all along
keep handin' us the bible while you walkin' off with all the gold
the bureaucratic office sends you merry-go-rounding
while the KKK police the streets by blood hounding
interest on the credit card just keeps on compounding
but the FCC can neva shut this pirate sound down

"Well there's something missing, but they won't drag the river
God sends his children out into the street
You can dig all you want, there's no buried hatchets
Just bones on the table, burn-holes in the seats
and I,
I feel weary in the weight of these days"
Up there
There's a ball of fire
Some call it the spirit
Some call it the sun
Its energies are not for hire
It serves man it serves everyone
The air we breathe
The flame of wisdom
The earth we grind
The beckoning sea
It's no mystery
Not sentimental
Ahh the equation
It's all elemental
The world is restless
Heaven in flux
Angels appear
From the bright storm
Out of the shadows
Up there, down there
But what can we say?
Man's been forewarned
Don't expect too much from my poor old heart
You can blame me unforgiven for my scars
You might just be the best that I can find
But I can't seem to forget the tears I've cried
I don't know that I will ever trust again
It's a price I must pay for all my sins
Time has changed me and left me full of doubt
And my heart may be lost never to be found
Once upon a time I did believe
In my true love that swept me off my feet
The wind of change swept him away
And left me drowning in my own pain.....
I don't know that I will ever love again
It's a price that I must pay for all my sins
Time has changed me and left me full of doubt
And my heart may be lost never to be found....
Well, I know it's kind of late
I hope I didn't wake you
But what I got to say can't wait
I know you'd understand
'Cause every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song
Yeah, I know it's kind of strange
But every time I'm near you
I just run out of things to say
I know you'd understand
'Cause every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song
'Cause Every time the time was right
All the words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song
Yeah, I know it's kind of late
I hope I didn't wake you
But there's something that I just got to say
I know you'd understand
'Cause every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song
Deep in my heart
How the presence of you shines
In a light to last a whole life through
I recall the wonder of it all
Each dream of life I'll share with you
Sea returns to sea
And sky to sky
In a life of dream am I
When I'm with you
Forever near your light
I'm always on your side
Wherever you must fight
Within your darkest night
I'm always on your side
They won't rush you from me
"Cause here I'll always be
I'm always on your side
Forever near your light
I'm not here to hold you down
I'm just here to love you when
Your stars align and you let me and your heart win
I'm always on your side
Forever near your light
I'm always on your side
"Sleeping eyes please come clean
I'm not giving you the third degree
When you live with no man's time
Ain't it hard to find some peace of mind
Sleeping eyes don't you cry
And don't pretend this is not an ending
Your history, yes it seems
Has been swept out with the leaves"
"Losing My Way"
Yeah... Hum... Yeah... Uh... Excuse me
Hi my name is Bob and I work at my job
I make forty-something dollars a day
I used to be the man in my hometown
Until I started to lose my way
It all goes back to when I dropped out at school
Having fun, I was living the life
But now I got a problem with that little white rock
See I can't put down the pipe
And...
It is breaking me down
Watching the world spin round
While my dreams fall down
Is anybody out there?
It is breaking me down
No more friends around...
And my dreams fall down...
Is anybody out there?
Can anybody out there hear me?
'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
Can anybody out there see me?
'Cause I can't seem to see myself...
There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
Can you save me from this hell?
Can anybody out there feel me?
'Cause I can't seem to feel myself
Losing my way
Keep losing my way...
Keep losing my way...
Can you help me find my way?
Losing my way
Keep losing my way
Keep losing my way...
Can you help me find my way?
Now you gotta understand I was a family man
I would have done anything for my own
But I couldn't get a grip on my new found itch
So I ended up all alone
I remember where I was when I got my first buzz
See I thought I was living the life
And the craziest thing is I'll probably never know the color of my daughter's eyes
And it is breaking me down
Watching the world spin round
While my dreams fall down
Is anybody out there?
It is breaking me down
No more friends around...
And my dreams fall down...
Is anybody out there?
Can anybody out there hear me?
'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
Can anybody out there see me?
'Cause I can't seem to see myself
There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
Can you save me from this hell?
Can anybody out there feel me?
'Cause I can't seem to feel myself.
Losing my way
Keep losing my way
Keep losing my way
Can you help find my way?
Losing my way
Keep losing my way
Keep losing my way
Can you help me find my way?
Oh my God please forgive me (Father hear my prayer)
'Cause I know I've done some wrong in this life
If I could do it all again
Have just one more chance
To take all those wrongs and make them right
Can anybody out there hear me?
'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
Can anybody out there see me?
'Cause I can't seem to see myself
There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
Can you save me from this hell?
Can anybody out there feel me?
'Cause I can't seem to feel myself.
Can anybody out there hear me?
'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
Can anybody out there see me?
'Cause I can't seem to see myself
There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
Can you save me from this hell?
Can anybody out there feel me?
'Cause I can't seem to feel myself
Losing my way
Keep losing my way
Keep losing my way
Can you help me find my way?
Losing my way
Keep losing my way
Keep losing my way
Can you help me find my way?
"In lonely gas stations with mini-marts
You'll find rows of them for sale
Liquor-filled statues of Elvis Presley
Screw his head off and drink like a vampire
His disciples flock to such a fitting shrine
Sprawled across from his graceless mansion
A shopping mall
Filled with prayer rugs and Elvis dolls
And I wonder
Yeah I wonder
Will Elvis take the place of Jesus in a thousand years"
In the garden of consciousness
In fertile mind there lies the dormant seed
When blooming as charity
Conscience breathes a sigh of relief
The confessions of sleep
The awakening seed
Moved by love to serve
We celebrate all
Merit in life
Ah, the confessions of sleep
Unfolding peace
As we extend
According to need
And you will hear the call
All action great and small
Received joyfully
Heaven abounds
Let love resound
If he be mute
Give him a bell
If he be blind, an eye
It he be down, a hand
Lift up your voice
Lift up your voice
Lift up your voice
Give of your mind one mind
Give of your heart one heart
Give of your voice
One voice
I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Til the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Mmm Mmm... I don't know... Mmm Mmm... Mmm Mmm...
Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder Children get older
I'm getting older too
So...
I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I, I´ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too...
I'm getting older too...
So, take this love, take it down
Oh if you climb a mountain and you turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring you down, down
And If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well maybe... The landslide will bring you down....
I took my love and I took it down

love that song. i saw Stevie Nicks a few years ago and I swear it seemed like she sang that song directly to me, felt like it was just her and me there
Jesus, Jesus help me
I'm alone in this world
And a fucked-up world it is too.
Tell me, tell me the story
The one about eternity
And the way it's all gonna be.
Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man.
Jesus, I'm waiting here, boss
I know you're looking out for us
But maybe your hands aren't free.
Your Father, He made the world in seven
He's in charge of heaven.
Will you put a word in for me?
Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man.
Listen to the words they'll tell you what to do
Listen over the rhythm that's confusing you
Listen to the reed in the saxophone
Listen over the hum of the radio
Listen over the sound of blades in rotation
Listen through the traffic and circulation
Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme
Listen over marching bands playing out their time.
Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man.
Jesus, were you just around the corner?
Did you think to try and warn her?
Were you working on something new?
If there's an order in all of this disorder
Is it like a tape recorder?
Can we rewind it just once more?
Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man.
Wake up, wake up dead man.
Jesus, Jesus help me
I'm alone in this world
And a fucked-up world it is too.
Tell me, tell me the story
The one about eternity
And the way it's all gonna be.
Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man.
Jesus, I'm waiting here, boss
I know you're looking out for us
But maybe your hands aren't free.
Your Father, He made the world in seven
He's in charge of heaven.
Will you put a word in for me?
Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man.
Listen to the words they'll tell you what to do
Listen over the rhythm that's confusing you
Listen to the reed in the saxophone
Listen over the hum of the radio
Listen over the sound of blades in rotation
Listen through the traffic and circulation

Listen over marching bands playing out their time.
Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man.
Jesus, were you just around the corner?
Did you think to try and warn her?
Were you working on something new?
If there's an order in all of this disorder
Is it like a tape recorder?

Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man.
Wake up, wake up dead man.

love that song. i saw Stevie Nicks a few years ago and I swear it seemed like she sang that song directly to me, felt like it was just her and me there
Stevie Nicks played this song friday night here at the Q - cleveland, ohio.... I was with my friends and she still is fantastic. I ended up crying during this song....
I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you might find
You get what you need

Have you ever had a woman that could make you crazy
Have you ever had a woman that could drive you mad
Have you ever had a woman give you so much trouble
And the best lovin' you ever had
My friends all say I'm losing it big time
But I know where I've got to go
I'm going back there again
I'm going back there again
I'm going back there again
Back to the house of pain
Have you ever had a rock that just keeps on rollin'
Have you ever seen a train comin' down the track
Have you ever jumped into the cold, cold river
And know there's no turning back
My friends all say I'm crazy, baby
But I know where I've got to go
I'm going back there again
I'm going back there again
I'm going home
Back to the house of pain
Have you ever had a weight that was much too heavy
Have you ever had a burden that was yours alone
Have you ever spent a night when you kept on waiting
Staring at the telephone
My friends all say I'm crazy, baby
But I know where I've got to go
I'm going back there again
I'm going back there again
I'm going back to my woman
Back to the house of pain....

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... !
Peace

They melt into a dream
A broken angel sings from a guitar
In the end, there's just a song
Comes crying like the wind
Through all the broken dreams and vanished years
Stella blue
When all the cards are down
There's nothing left to see
There's just the pavement left And broken dreams
In the end, there's still that song
Comes crying like the wind
Down every lonely street that's ever been
Stella blue
I've stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel
Can't win for trying
Dust off those rusty strings just one more time
Gonna make 'em shine
It all rolls into one
And nothing comes for free
There's nothing you can hold for very long
And when you hear that song
Come crying like the wind
It seems like all this life
Was just a dream
Stella blue
with information that will never be reported
disregard the mainstream media distorted
whoop! whoop!
we comin' listener supported
Don't take no prisoners if can't afford to feed none
don't start no fights if you can't predict the outcome
don't make donations where you cannot get your dough back
fuck the apathetic bullshittas send em' all your prozac
I will not climb into your telephone tree
and "hell no you can't put me on hold!"
it's the same recorded message you'd been singin' all along
keep handin' us the bible while you walkin' off with all the gold
the bureaucratic office sends you merry-go-rounding
while the KKK police the streets by blood hounding
interest on the credit card just keeps on compounding
but the FCC can neva shut this pirate sound down

God sends his children out into the street
You can dig all you want, there's no buried hatchets
Just bones on the table, burn-holes in the seats
and I,
I feel weary in the weight of these days"
There's a ball of fire
Some call it the spirit
Some call it the sun
Its energies are not for hire
It serves man it serves everyone
The air we breathe
The flame of wisdom
The earth we grind
The beckoning sea
It's no mystery
Not sentimental
Ahh the equation
It's all elemental
The world is restless
Heaven in flux
Angels appear
From the bright storm
Out of the shadows
Up there, down there
But what can we say?
Man's been forewarned
You can blame me unforgiven for my scars
You might just be the best that I can find
But I can't seem to forget the tears I've cried
I don't know that I will ever trust again
It's a price I must pay for all my sins
Time has changed me and left me full of doubt
And my heart may be lost never to be found
Once upon a time I did believe
In my true love that swept me off my feet
The wind of change swept him away
And left me drowning in my own pain.....
I don't know that I will ever love again
It's a price that I must pay for all my sins
Time has changed me and left me full of doubt
And my heart may be lost never to be found....
I hope I didn't wake you
But what I got to say can't wait
I know you'd understand
'Cause every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song
Yeah, I know it's kind of strange
But every time I'm near you
I just run out of things to say
I know you'd understand
'Cause every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song
'Cause Every time the time was right
All the words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song
Yeah, I know it's kind of late
I hope I didn't wake you
But there's something that I just got to say
I know you'd understand
'Cause every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song
How the presence of you shines
In a light to last a whole life through
I recall the wonder of it all
Each dream of life I'll share with you
Sea returns to sea
And sky to sky
In a life of dream am I
When I'm with you
Why did you throw the jack of hearts away?
It was the only card in the deck
That I had left to play.
"To question your government is not unpatriotic --
to not question your government is unpatriotic."
-- Sen. Chuck Hagel
Forever near your light
I'm always on your side
Wherever you must fight
Within your darkest night
I'm always on your side
They won't rush you from me
"Cause here I'll always be
I'm always on your side
Forever near your light
I'm not here to hold you down
I'm just here to love you when
Your stars align and you let me and your heart win
I'm always on your side
Forever near your light
I'm always on your side
I'm not giving you the third degree
When you live with no man's time
Ain't it hard to find some peace of mind
Sleeping eyes don't you cry
And don't pretend this is not an ending
Your history, yes it seems
Has been swept out with the leaves"
Yeah... Hum... Yeah... Uh... Excuse me
Hi my name is Bob and I work at my job
I make forty-something dollars a day
I used to be the man in my hometown
Until I started to lose my way
It all goes back to when I dropped out at school
Having fun, I was living the life
But now I got a problem with that little white rock
See I can't put down the pipe
And...
It is breaking me down
Watching the world spin round
While my dreams fall down
Is anybody out there?
It is breaking me down
No more friends around...
And my dreams fall down...
Is anybody out there?
Can anybody out there hear me?
'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
Can anybody out there see me?
'Cause I can't seem to see myself...
There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
Can you save me from this hell?
Can anybody out there feel me?
'Cause I can't seem to feel myself
Losing my way
Keep losing my way...
Keep losing my way...
Can you help me find my way?
Losing my way
Keep losing my way
Keep losing my way...
Can you help me find my way?
Now you gotta understand I was a family man
I would have done anything for my own
But I couldn't get a grip on my new found itch
So I ended up all alone
I remember where I was when I got my first buzz
See I thought I was living the life
And the craziest thing is I'll probably never know the color of my daughter's eyes
And it is breaking me down
Watching the world spin round
While my dreams fall down
Is anybody out there?
It is breaking me down
No more friends around...
And my dreams fall down...
Is anybody out there?
Can anybody out there hear me?
'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
Can anybody out there see me?
'Cause I can't seem to see myself
There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
Can you save me from this hell?
Can anybody out there feel me?
'Cause I can't seem to feel myself.
Losing my way
Keep losing my way
Keep losing my way
Can you help find my way?
Losing my way
Keep losing my way
Keep losing my way
Can you help me find my way?
Oh my God please forgive me (Father hear my prayer)
'Cause I know I've done some wrong in this life
If I could do it all again
Have just one more chance
To take all those wrongs and make them right
Can anybody out there hear me?
'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
Can anybody out there see me?
'Cause I can't seem to see myself
There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
Can you save me from this hell?
Can anybody out there feel me?
'Cause I can't seem to feel myself.
Can anybody out there hear me?
'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
Can anybody out there see me?
'Cause I can't seem to see myself
There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
Can you save me from this hell?
Can anybody out there feel me?
'Cause I can't seem to feel myself
Losing my way
Keep losing my way
Keep losing my way
Can you help me find my way?
Losing my way
Keep losing my way
Keep losing my way
Can you help me find my way?
You'll find rows of them for sale
Liquor-filled statues of Elvis Presley
Screw his head off and drink like a vampire
His disciples flock to such a fitting shrine
Sprawled across from his graceless mansion
A shopping mall
Filled with prayer rugs and Elvis dolls
And I wonder
Yeah I wonder
Will Elvis take the place of Jesus in a thousand years"
Baby, Darling, Doll Face, Honey
No I don't mean to cause you worry
It's only hands in my pocket
And the Queen on my money
Did you know I've been wanting you?
so leave your locks on the latches
If you bring the water
I'll bring the matches
'cause we are fires in the night
We are fires in the night
Let us bathe you in our light
'cause we are fires in the night
Come on get up Romeo
Don't you know what the time is?
It's the fall of rock 'n roll,
That's what the news said
Did you know I've been wanting you?
so leave your locks on the latches
If you bring the water
I'll bring the matches
'cause we are fires in the night
We are fires in the night
Let us bathe you in our light
'cause we are fires in the night
Sleight of hand
Jump off the end
Into a clear lake
No one around
Just dragonflies
Fantasize
No one gets hurt
You’ve done nothing wrong
Slide your hand
Jump off the end
The water's clear and innocent
The water's clear and innocent
In the garden of consciousness
In fertile mind there lies the dormant seed
When blooming as charity
Conscience breathes a sigh of relief
The confessions of sleep
The awakening seed
Moved by love to serve
We celebrate all
Merit in life
Ah, the confessions of sleep
Unfolding peace
As we extend
According to need
And you will hear the call
All action great and small
Received joyfully
Heaven abounds
Let love resound
If he be mute
Give him a bell
If he be blind, an eye
It he be down, a hand
Lift up your voice
Lift up your voice
Lift up your voice
Give of your mind one mind
Give of your heart one heart
Give of your voice
One voice
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Til the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Mmm Mmm... I don't know... Mmm Mmm... Mmm Mmm...
Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too
So...
I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I, I´ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too...
I'm getting older too...
So, take this love, take it down
Oh if you climb a mountain and you turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring you down, down
And If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well maybe... The landslide will bring you down....
love that song. i saw Stevie Nicks a few years ago and I swear it seemed like she sang that song directly to me, felt like it was just her and me there
Jesus, Jesus help me
I'm alone in this world
And a fucked-up world it is too.
Tell me, tell me the story
The one about eternity
And the way it's all gonna be.
Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man.
Jesus, I'm waiting here, boss
I know you're looking out for us
But maybe your hands aren't free.
Your Father, He made the world in seven
He's in charge of heaven.
Will you put a word in for me?
Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man.
Listen to the words they'll tell you what to do
Listen over the rhythm that's confusing you
Listen to the reed in the saxophone
Listen over the hum of the radio
Listen over the sound of blades in rotation
Listen through the traffic and circulation
Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme
Listen over marching bands playing out their time.
Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man.
Jesus, were you just around the corner?
Did you think to try and warn her?
Were you working on something new?
If there's an order in all of this disorder
Is it like a tape recorder?
Can we rewind it just once more?
Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man.
Wake up, wake up dead man.
Fantastic song, too bad it's all true.

Skyscraper shines the sun so
Low in the sky
Secretaries at the hotdog vendors
Cabs honk at bicycle messengers
Rolling by
I can't call with a subway token
Anyway the phones are all broken
I wish you were here
Better yet, I wish I was there with you
Stevie Nicks played this song friday night here at the Q - cleveland, ohio.... I was with my friends and she still is fantastic. I ended up crying during this song....
I've been old
I've been hurt
and consoled
Heart of coal
Heart of gold
So I'm told
I've been lost
I've been found
I've been taken
by the sound
My own worries
and voices in my head
I can't help it if I fall
In love with you again
I'm calling just to let you know
It dawned on me
Every night
Is a test
To the east
From the west
The sun rises
And it sets
As the sun
At its best
I forget,
then I know
I regret
Letting you go
Sometimes
I can't believe
How dark it can be
But I can't help it if I fall
In love with you again
I'm calling just to let you know
It dawned on me
Dawned on me
So far
And so forth
And again
I will stop
To begin
at the end
I can't help it if I fall
In love with you again
I'm calling just to let you know
It dawned on me
I can't help it if I fall
In love with you again
I'm calling just to let you know
It dawned on me
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you might find
You get what you need
Peace

who you wanted
If I could be
who you wanted
(all the time)
All the time
All the time
Have you ever had a woman that could drive you mad
Have you ever had a woman give you so much trouble
And the best lovin' you ever had
My friends all say I'm losing it big time
But I know where I've got to go
I'm going back there again
I'm going back there again
I'm going back there again
Back to the house of pain
Have you ever had a rock that just keeps on rollin'
Have you ever seen a train comin' down the track
Have you ever jumped into the cold, cold river
And know there's no turning back
My friends all say I'm crazy, baby
But I know where I've got to go
I'm going back there again
I'm going back there again
I'm going home
Back to the house of pain
Have you ever had a weight that was much too heavy
Have you ever had a burden that was yours alone
Have you ever spent a night when you kept on waiting
Staring at the telephone
My friends all say I'm crazy, baby
But I know where I've got to go
I'm going back there again
I'm going back there again
I'm going back to my woman
Back to the house of pain....
