hey rose
02:55
|

there’s a big brass band in the park today
those low notes speak what my mouth can’t say
can i read your every letter, turn your every page
can i hold you till these dark dreams fade?
hey Rose
your soul is the picture
but your body is the frame
but the frame is exquisite
and you taste just like your name
i’ll steer these wheels on down the road
all night from NY to Ohio
can i drive to california
carry you to spain
can i take you to the place where the dolphins play
see me clearly, (hey baby)
baby can you hear me (can you hear me darlin)
hey life saver, one more favor, (do us both a favor)
stay
stay while i rebuild the world on paper, Rose….
HOOK 2
we’ll talk touch tones no telephones
i reach the front door, nobody’s home
can i listen to your heartbeat
hear your every moan
can i stay right here in yr garden love
HOOK 3
there’s a big brass band in the park today
those low notes speak
what my mouth can’t say
i indulge your every pleasure
engaged in lovers games
can i hold you till these dark dreams fade?

about her. again.
03:44
|

well i told her i’m good
and she said it was cool
go on do what you want
or don’t
it’s all over again
there’s just something about her
i takes me over the under
over again (you go and mess up my head)
there’s just something about her
makes me want her
over again (you go and mess up my head)
she said this ain’t workin
all my work was for nothin
so i’m sitting here, smoking
with my head in my hands
if lived here’ i’d be home by now
if i lived here
i’d make it home somehow
but i don’t and i can’t so i won’t
but
there’s just something about her
i bet over the under
over again (you go and mess up my head)
there’s just something about her
makes me want her
over again (you go and mess up my head)

with a cold hearted stare i can give

with a mouthful of gold

in a room full of stars

and two eyes for every and two eyes for every angle
i wanna tell ya

suffer
04:46
|
|||
everything is fine
you know that is a lie
tired of wrestling with the ties that bind
tired of running
either i am yours and you are mine
or maybe we wasn’t
but
we don’t have to suffer
you and i
we don’t have to wade in the trenches every night
we don’t have to follow in a line
we don’t have to wait in the shadows for the sunshine
here’s my best advice
no don’t you waste my time
in a different light
we are shining bright
in a warmer light
we’re still shining bright
we don’t have to suffer
you and i
we don’t have to wade in the trenches every night
we don’t have to follow in a line
we don't have to wait in the shadows for the sunshine

04:18
|

if that’s the way you like it sugar
that’s the way i’m gonna do ya, o you
if that’s the way it needs to be for you
that’s the way i’m gonna do it for you
here’s how it’s gonna be
if it’s good for you, then it’s good for me
here’s how it’s gonna feel
when it’s good for you and you know it’s real
if it’s good for you baby it’s good for me
sick and tired of being so careful
it took about a million years for me to see
forget about the whys and the what for

3rd eye weeping
03:12
|
|||
this is the sound of my 3rd eye weeping all week
and it’s so bad x2
that i won’t be sleeping
anytime soon…
i don’t know about you
but the things i see
o they make me wanna scream
and when my heart goes black
wanna grab a baseball bat
smash up everything i see
but i better get right and breathe
this is the sound of my 3rd eye weeping all week
and it’s so bad
that i won’t be sleeping anytime soon
oh take a look at you
are you living how you say
i know i sometimes stray
my big fat head’s so hard
oh that i’m falling apart
don’t you look down on me
i’m just the best i can be
this is the sound of my 3rd eye weeping all week

02:47
|
|||
don’t wait up for me tonight
don’t wait up for me tonight
i’ll be all alone
but i won’t be home
i’m return without a dime
so don’t wait up for me this time
don’t wait up for me today
don’t wait up for me today
i’ll crack up in lorraine
i won’t be the same
when i come back through the gate
so don’t wait up for me no way
i’m going to the city
to get some bread
and i’ll be back to our farm when i can
i wish it weren’t so
wish i could stay but i gotta go instead
so don’t wait up in the days ahead

o clever one
03:37
|

a child is born
in the small hours of the morning
the people stand and wait
welcome him with open arms
O
o clever boy
just born
don’t know nothing
now the child is growin
and you find she’s got her own
nothing standing in her path
it’s where she’s going not where she’s at
O clever girl
just know the world
always comEs knocking
before you know the child is gone
and in their place a bitter one
taught them to always be afraid
they can’t remember, where they from
but Oh
O clever one
be reborn
you ain’t nothin

early morning
before the sunrise
when the darkness turns
from blue to gold
i can hear you
gently breathing
i can feel the turning of the world
ask me why o my
ask me how come, darlin x2
after all is said and done
after all we’ve said and done
i’m lost and i can’t find my way back home
i love you but i must be gone
i mean i love you but i must be wrong
i think i love you but i must be…
i mean i love you but i must be…i must be wrong
when the night comes
and the light runs
do you ever find the urge to get up and go
i can feel your heart
beating
i can feel the coolness of the moon glow
ask me why o my
ask me how come darlin x2
after all is said and done
after all we’ve said and done
i’m lost and i can’t find my way back home
i think i love you but i must be gone
i mean i love you but i must be wrong
