"Beautiful"

"Beautiful"


Beautiful
That's what you are to me
No matter what they say

It's what you'll always be

Love calls your name
And I must follow
Where it goes
Because

Beautiful
Is all that I can see
Although there is no chance for us
And we must set each other free
I'll always know
Deep inside of me
You'll always be
Beautiful

This hopeless game
We try to play
To get along
But there is no way
We could make it
We could stay
Beautiful, mm
Beautiful

All I can do
All I can say
Now that it's love
At the end of the day
Remember your face
The wonderful time
No one can replace
You used to be mine

Beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful

"Because Of You"

"Because Of You"


I used to hang my head down low
Never knowing which way I was going
My life was getting close to the edge
And I knew that it was showing

Because of you
I can stand and hold my head up high
Because of you
I feel free and yet I don't know why

Each morning is a spring time song
With the sun up in the sky
The sadness that is on your face
Helped me to realise
I owe each day I have to you
And I'll pay you back some day
You're reading me like a book
But I really would like to say

Because of you
I can stand and hold my head up high
Because of you
I feel free and yet I don't know why

Yes I do, it's you
And I'll pay you back some day
Because of you
I have finally found my way

"Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea"

"Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea"


Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Everywhere I turn it's got a hold on me
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Everywhere I run it won't let me be
Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Can somebody somebody somebody help me please
Between the thunder and the driving rain
Could I ever be, be the same again
Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea

Holding on
Waiting for some good luck to come
Come my way, set me free

It's that old boy himself and he always knew
Sooner or later
If you don't say what's true you'll end in chains
And you'll always be
Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea

"Big White Door"

"Big White Door"


Looks like I'm flying
But I'm crawling slowly
I learn the way to swim
Is just to let it go
Don't expect nothing
Don't smile or grieve no more
Except maybe a little more pain
And a little more closely
To the big white door

First time I saw it
My fear ran wild
Screaming like a drowing man
Crying like a child
But each time I looked out
It was a little closer than before
Of that big white door

Now I'm gliding on the fast flow
Now I'm falling through the air
Seems like everything is moving slowly
Now I find I don't seem to care
A little closer
A little darker
'Til there's nothing else more
Just the universe in shadow
Of the big, the big white door
Of the big white door

"Black Dog"

"Black Dog"


Black dog barking in the cold grey light
He pulls the chain and he pulls it tight
This ain't no lonesome wail that boy ain't faking
He bites the steel and he claws the ground
He pulls again and he spins around
His eyes are raging and his burning lungs are steaming

He wanna walk in the sun
Feel love like anyone
No one knows that black dog better than I
I said no one knows that black dog better than I

When I see his running I can see me
Teeth in the collar and he's tearing it free
Spit out the leather and the cold studs that kept you from singing
Run till you're bleeding run till you're hot
till the memory of all this you've long since forgot
Run till forever till the bells of your freedom are ringing

He wanna walk in the sun
Feel love like anyone
No one knows that black dog better than I
I said no one knows that black dog better than I

"Blind Willie"

"Blind Willie"


Blind Willie, that man could see
What we
Can only dream about
Blind Willie, my one and only peace
That I can't do without
Blind Willie

Now I can smell the burnt out hell you lived in
The damp newspaper making up your bed
The stinging eyes that died
When you were just a child
Oh I swear that I have cried
For you
Blind Willie

I pray each night
You sleep without a fever
I pray each night
You don't feel the winter cold
Willie B and Angelina are with you now
And peace like sunlight
Wraps around your soul

Oh Blind Willie

"Blue Morning In The Rain"

"Blue Morning In The Rain"


Blue morning
In the rain
It’s that rainy day feeling again
I need some heat
I need a flame
Kick off those blue
Those blue mornings
In the rain

Blue morning
In the rain
Every time you go away
When you’re not here
It’s always the same
Blue morning
Blue morning in the rain

Come back as soon as you can
Make my morning sun shine again
Until you do
It’s all blue
Mornings in the rain
Blue morning in the rain

"Blue Street"

"Blue Street"


Take a walk down Blue Street,
Take a walk with me
There are no dreams on Blue Street
Just what came to me
Took your daydream to the dealer
You closed your eyes and kissed his feet
Was he an angel or the devil?
Gonna find out now
On Blue Street
Blue Street is where you go
When it's over past and gone
All alone here on Blue Street
No need to find out what went wrong
on the street
When you realize the fear you feel
Is coming from the inside of your own soul
When you find out you can't escape it
The only thing you can't control
Hey this is Blue street
There sure ain't no sunny side
Drop to the paving stones
'Cos there's nowhere you can hide
Yeah this is Blue Street
Yeah this is Blue Street
Oh this is Blue Street
yeah yeah

"Bob Taylor"

"Bob Taylor"


I pray,
Oh, I pray
I'm praying
Yes I am
Every single day
I pray
Some sweet morning
I'll get to move away

I fear who's in my doorway
Too scared to go outside
There's a gunshot every day now
One for every tear i cry
Sometimes I go to sleep
Hoping I will never wake
There's fear for my poor children
Oh I dream that one fine day
One sweet morning
We'll get to move away

Sometimes I see the Devil
Sometimes I see his face
I swear he built these towers of hell
Oh' I swear he made this place
Whatever made us come here
Whatever made us stay
This endless cold grey winter
Oh I pray that one fine day
One sweet morning
Oh, we get to move away

One sweet morning
Oh, we get to move away

Bob Taylor
Let the Devil take him
Bob Taylor
Let the Devil shake him
Bob Taylor
Let the Devil break him

"Bombollini"

"Bombollini"


Sing a song of love to me
Sing out, sing out
She's the one who made me free
Sing out, sing out

'Cos she made me smile
And she made me love
Oh she made me laugh
And she made me dance
Bombo!

Little pearl inside the shell
Come out, come out
From deep down in my wishing well
Sing out, sing out

'Cos you made me smile
And you made me love
And you made me laugh
And you made me dance

Bombo!
