I know where I'm going
Because I been there before
Floating in the sun
Laying on the shore

I caught a beautiful wave
I came in all the way
Please help me climb on

Sun's goin' down
I'm goin back to my cave
I've got no one to meet
No one to save

I like the music
In my head
I think I'll go away

The summer had inhaled and held its breath too long
The winter looked the same as if it never had gone
And through an open window where no curtain hung

I saw you
I saw you

One begins to read between the pages of a book

I'll remember you too clearly
But I'll survive another day
Conversations to share
When there's no one there
I'll imagine what you'd say

I'll see you in another life now, baby
I'll free you in my dreams

You're coming into town on your donkey tonight
You're coming into town on your donkey
You're coming into town on your donkey tonight
Coming into town, coming into, yeah, yeah, oh

It will permeate across the ages
Coming into town on your donkey tonight
Wearing your garland

She was a happy child
Funny and bright and wild
And all of the grown-ups agreed
She was "Most Likely To Succeed
In Ruling the World!"

Now she calls you on the phone
She's never there alone

Oh, please baby
You know I like you

Savin' all my money all week long
So I can go out drivin' with you
Down on Hollywood Boulevard
On Friday night, dressed right

Well I decided to take the bus
It was about six o five
'Cuz I could hardly walk
In fact, I was just bearing
Under the bridge and over the street
Now every shadow that I meet
They all know my name

When love comes along
It seems like
He was always by your side
Makes you feel like
You've never been alone, never been alone
Never never been lied to
Always felt this way

I would call him, Hey Bub
He had a little place he kept for me
And he would tell me
Boy, we were so in love
He moved us to a home there
A place where he'd take care of me
And I'd always know where he'd be

The song of love is a sad song
Hi lili hi lili hi lo
The song of love is a sound of woe
Don't ask me why I know
The song of love is a sad song
For I have loved and it's so
I wake up this morning
And watch the rain

Houston, Houston means that I'm one day closer to you
Houston, Houston means the last day of the tour and we're through
Well honey, you and God in heaven above know I love what I do for a living, I do
Ah, but Houston, Houston means that I'm one day closer to you
Yeah singing at the world's biggest rodeo show was a great time for me and the guys
Ah, but when I'm a way from you, honey, time always never flies
Sleeping alone in the holiday hotel sure can make a cowboy blue
But here I am in Houston and I'm one day closer to you

Taking my time
Hurrying along
I do what I like to go
Where I know I will
Never go wrong
The world is my home
The world is my cone
And it's delicious

I won't grow up
I don't want to go to school
Just to learn to be a puppet
And recite a silly rule

If growing up means it would be
Beneath my dignity to climb a tree
I won't grow up, won't grow up, won't grow up

Cathedral bells were tolling
And our hearts sang on,
Was it the spell of paris
Or the april dawn?
Who knows, if we shall meet again?
But when the morning chimes ring sweet again:

I’ll be seeing you

Traveling on a train
Sitting with the band
Looking out the window
Everything is made of
Shape and form
Now we're in a bar
An empty bar
And there's no where for me

I know you come here to this bar
'Cause no one here knows who you are
You watch the band sing tra-la-la
You wear your Eau J'ai Connais Pas

My sister knew you back in school
Said you were nobody's fool
But you let it slip away

Could paint the sun and the moon
And the stars straight down from the sky
Carve your likeness in stone
Down to the light that shines in your eyes
Build a church in your honor
Stained glass windows facing east
Loving you is my masterpiece

The most as you'll ever go
Is back where you used to know
If grown-ups could laugh this slow
Where as you watch the hour snow
Years may go by

So hold on to your special friend
Here, you'll need something to keep her in :

i have often walked
down this street before
but the pavement always stayed
beneath my feet before
all at once am i
several stories high
knowing i'm on the street where you live

You used to dream yourself away each night
To places that you'd never been
On wings made of wishes
That you whispered to yourself
Back when every night the moon and you
Would sweep away to places
That you knew
Where you would never get the blues

Hold me love, I can't sleep again
Will I have to kiss your nose?
I wanna lay here next to him, love
I remember walking in the rain
Rain was falling on my hands
I don't wanna live through that again, no
Outside the heart it gets dark now
And I was walking in the park now

Didn’t you hear?
Black is a criminal,
White is a crime,
Poison is the pen
Writing down this children’s nursery rhyme.
Didn’t you see him standing next to me?
The seeds of change have grown,
We don’t have to hide anymore.

When the sun beats down, and melts the tar upon the roof
And your shoes get so hot, you wish your tired feet were fire-proof
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea
On a blanket with my baby, that's where I'll be

From the park you'll hear the happy sounds of a carousel
You can almost taste those hot dogs and french fries they sell
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea
