"Love Out In The Street"
(feat. Rita Coolidge)

"Love Out In The Street"
(feat. Rita Coolidge)



I've seen the sidewalks
And I've been aware
Of the lamps and tables and the paperback books
That you throw out there
All your artifacts
In disrepair
Make up a pile so high
Could tie up the traffic in the thoroughfare

Put your love out on the street
Put your love out on the street
Put your love out on the street
Put your love out on the street tonight

I don't mind your sinning
I'm no saint myself
And if the neighbours call you a hellcat
Then let them call me a jezebel
Cause I've come to know you
I've come to know you so well
From spying on you from my bathroom window
In this cheap hotel

So let flow the hydrants
And we'll dance in the spray
And we'll wash out our dirty laundry
In the alleyway

"Love You By Heart"
(feat. James Taylor)

"Love You By Heart"
(feat. James Taylor)



The lies that you tell will leave you alone
They'll keep you down,
they'll catch you and trip you up
Keep you hangin' around

The habit is old - you don't need it anymore
Go on and kiss it goodbye
'Cause you got me, and I can see
Who you really are
I want to show you my heart
I want to know you by heart
And love you by heart

I'm right here beside you
there's nobody else to set you straight
To shake you, to let you know
That it's still not too late -
I want to show you my heart
I want to know you by heart
And love you by heart

Don't make up stories,
I know you by your eyes
I think I know what's inside

The streets you've been on
Will leave you out in the cold
But you know I care,
And years from now
We'll both look down from the top of the stairs -
Here I've shown you my heart
I want to know you by heart
And love you by heart

"Make Me Feel Something"

"Make Me Feel Something"



Make me feel something
I used to feel
I used to feel something for you
But I've been sleep walking
Stumbling in false starts, fumbling into false hearts
Tumbling into false hearts, mainly mine

Make me feel something
Feel something
Can it be I'm growing old
Feel something
Maybe I'm just too controlled
Feel something
I'm much too young to feel this old

Make me walk on air
I used to dare
I used to take chances for you
But now I'm longing to feel passion
'Cause I've only been pretending
Acting out the drama
Dying for a happy end
Just to feel alive

I don't want to say "I love you"
To one more fantasy
You'd never believe
What a good actress I could be

Remember when
We were fresh in love
Your eyes were pale like the moon
We'd sit on the porch in Summer
Listen to the breezes
Spinning melodies
I dressed you up like a god
The one you were

"Manha De Carnaval"

"Manha De Carnaval"



Manha tao bonita manha
Na vida uma nova cancao

Cantando so teus olhos,
Teu riso, e tuas maos

Pois ha de haver um dia
Em que viras

Das cordas do meu violao
Que so teu amor procurou

Vem uma voz
Falar dos beijos
Perdidos nos labios teus

Canta o meu coracao
Alegria voltou, tao feliz
A manha deste amor

"Memorial Day"

"Memorial Day"



It should have been so soft, this morning as we left
But the valley was infected, by a different kind of beauty
And the Indians they knew, it was a devil's sanctuary.

Out of this unholy dawn, a car came stirring up the sand
And a woman from a passion play
Held up the limousine that brought me
All this way today. And I didn't need to turn around
So strong was the message, and the man who planned her life
Commanded all that followed: Well they bellowed, and they hollered
And they threw each other down, down in this valley
This cruel and lovely valley, Oh it should have been an alley
In some low down part of town

As the lights came up, there was no sun
And brandy splattered all over the ground
As this woman with her head held high
Yelled love and why oh why, you're killing me oh follow me-
As I watched safe and clean, from the frosted windows of that limousine

Well they bellowed and they hollered, and they threw each other down
Down in this valley, this cruel and lovely valley
Oh it should have been an alley, in some low down part of town

Before he'd been so funny, imagining the best:
That he'd escaper recrimination, for abandoning the nest
He'd been joking and stoned, while he was entertaining me
But then turned and was stunned, by her panic and her misery

And I was in the get-away car
Giving him a chance, to get away
Get away, get away

And how the valley smoked, as he crossed Route 25
With his cymbals and his shattered crown, leaving all alone
His eyes fixed on the ground. And he didn't even turn around
So strong was the message, and he fell into the shallow sky
And was swallowed.
Well they bellowed and they hollered, and they threw each other down
Down in this valley, this cruel and lovely valley
Well it should have been an alley, In some low down part of town

"Menemsha"
(feat. Ben, Sally, Kate, Hugh, and Lucy Simon)

"Menemsha"
(feat. Ben, Sally, Kate, Hugh, and Lucy Simon)



Peter's on the loose
I'd like to see him again
I remember when
We made love
On the jetty in the rain.
When the fishing boats would
Come back in
At the end of the day
He'd run up the hill to my cabin
With a swordfish and he'd say:
"Girl I want you all over again"
All over again

[Chorus:]
In Menemsha, Menemsha
Menemsha, Menemsha

The sunset on the sound
Were almost too much to take
We would dance on the hill
With our friends
'Til the morning would break
Everybody drank too much beer
In those days
Thank God it wasn't whiskey
Or we'd all be dead
And Peter and me we'd pull the shades
Everyone was interested
In Peter and me

[Chorus]

"Mind On My Man"

"Mind On My Man"



I've got my mind on my man
I've got my man on my mind
He's everything to me, he's somthin' more special
Than any amount of lookin's gonna find

I'm not hooked on any her from an idle dream
But I'm idly dreaming of him
He's a lotus, that opens and closes
Notice he won't always let me in
So my mind is on my man, got my man on my mind

Sometimes he's sleepy
And I don't think he loves me
I worry about his lovin'
Ain't I crazy?

He's a Northern baby and a Southern child
He's a gentelman lost at the fair
He's a cowboy gettin' drunk at the Plaza
He has a place in my heart anywhere
And my mind is on my man, got my man on my mind

"Misfit"

"Misfit"



There are plenty of late nights
If you want to stay up for them
You'll just want to find yourself a friend
And tie a couple on in a night spot
Draw pictures of your soul, win the jackpot
For tears in your beer
It's hip to be miserable when you're young and intellectual
In a bit you'll admit you're a misfit

Come on home with me
We'll turn on the TV
About 10 o'clock we'll turn off the light
Not every man was born to stay up late at night

There are plenty of boats to catch
If you notice all the sails in the wind
But you better look hard my friend
In case you catch a ride on the wrong one
In the distance is the one you belong on
Oh the water is wide
It's hipe to be miserable when you're young and intellectual
In a bit you'll admit you're a misfit

Come on home with me
We'll sit under a tree
And if you get the itch
I'll supply the scratch
Not every man was born with a boat to catch

It's hip to be miserable when you are young and intellectual
In a bit you'll admit you're a misfit
A misfit

"Mockingbird"
(feat. James Taylor)



Everybody have you heard
He's gonna buy me a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don't sing
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring won't shine
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine
And that's why I keep on tellin' everybody.....

Hear me now and understand
He's gonna find me some piece of mind
And if that piece of mind won't stay
I'm gonna find myself a better way
And if that better way ain't so
I'll ride with the tide and go with the flow
And that's why I keep on shoutin' in your ear.....

Everybody have you heard
She's gonna buy me a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don't sing
She's gonna buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring won't shine
Gonna surely break this heart of mine
And that's the reason why I keep on tellin' everybody...

Listen now and understand
She's gonna find me some piece of mind
And if that piece of mind won't stay
I'm gonna get myself a better way
I might rise above, I might go below
Ride with the tide and go with the flow
And that's the reason why I keep on shouting in your ear...

"Moonglow"

"Moonglow"



It must have been Moonglow,
Way up in the blue,
It must have been Moonglow,
That led me straight to you

I still hear you sayin'
Dear one hold me fast,
And I start to prayin'
Oh Lord, please let this last,
We seem to float right through the air,
Heavenly songs seem to come from everywhere,
And now when there's Moonglow,
Way up in the blue,
I always remember,
That Moonglow gave me you
That Moonglow gave me you

We seem to float right through the air,
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere,
And now when there's Moonglow
Way up in the blue,
I always remember,
That Moonglow gave me you,
That Moonglow gave me you,
That Moonglow gave me you
