"These Days"
(originally by Nico)



Well I've been out walking
And I don't do that much talking
These days these days
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
Oh, honey, for you
And all the times I had
The chance to

Well I had a lover
Lord, It's to hard to risk another
These days oh, these days
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life I have made in song
Oh yeah
Well it's just that I've been losing
Losing for so long

And I wonder if I'll ever
See another highway

Well, now I'll keep on moving
Lord, things are bound to be improving
These days one of these days
These days I sit on corner stones
I count the time in quarter tones till ten
My sweet friend
Please don't confront me with my failures
I've not forgotten them
I've not forgotten them
I've not forgotten them
Oh oh

"This God-Forsaken Day"

"This God-Forsaken Day"


Read your note this mornin'.
'bye-bye girl', that's all it said.
Glad I found it first,
Before the kids got out of bed.

Baked a tray of muffins.
Hung some wet-wash out to dry.
By the time the kids got up,
I could look them in the eye.

You've gone away, you've gone away.
How will I get though the day?
This god-forsaken day.

Drank some bitter coffee.
Read your note ten times or more.
When I'd washed the dishes twice,
I got down and scrubbed the floor.

Empty chair at supper.
Everybody's actin' strange.
Food just gettin' cold.
Kids real quiet for a change.

You've gone away, you've gone away.
How will I get through the day?
This god-forsaken day.

Rain was fallin' hard
As I walked slowly up the stairs.
Pushed my tears back down
As I stood listenin'
To their prayers.

There's your empty pillow.
Your side's flat right to the wall.
Now's the time for private cryin'.
Now it hurts me
Most of all.

You've gone away.
I turn off the light.
How will I get through the night?
This god-forsaken night.
This long and lonesome, god-forsaken night.

"Thunderstorm"

"Thunderstorm"


I could pass the evening here
Staring down into your eyes
Just forget there's a world somewhere outside
I kept my porch-light burning
So you could find my door
Felt so good to hear your footsteps
Walk across my bedroom floor

I knew that you were coming
By the thunderstorm last night
I swear I heard the north wind call your name
But a clear sky of blue stars
And the darling man you are
Makes it feel so good lying here next to you

This dusty town has needed rain
Like I've been needing you
So hold me tight as only you can do
By the light of just one candle
I feel your warm hands touching me
While our shadows move together
In the sweetest harmony

I knew that you were coming
By the thunderstorm last night
I swear I heard the north wind call your name
But a clear sky of blue stars
And the darling man you are
Makes it feel so good lying here next to you

I knew that you were coming
By the thunderstorm last night
I swear I heard the north wind call your name
But a clear sky of blue stars
And the darling man you are
Makes it feel so good lying here next to you

"Time"

"Time"


Some people run
Some people crawl
Some people don't even move at all
Some roads leads forward
Some leads back
Some roads are bathed in white
Some are wrapped fearful black

Time oh time
Where did you go
Time oh good good time
Where did you go

Some people never get
Some never give
Some people never die
And some never live
Some folks treat me mean
Some treat me kind
Most folks just go their way
Don't pay me no mind

Time oh time
Where did you go
Time oh good good time
Where did you go

Sometmes I'm satsify
Sometimes I'm not
Sometimes my face is cold
Sometimes it is hot
Sometimes I laugh
Sunrise I cry
Midnight I'm in between
And wondering why

"Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You"
(originally by Bob Dylan)

"Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You"
(originally by Bob Dylan)



Throw my ticket out the window,
Throw my suitcase out there, too,
Throw my troubles out the door,
I don't need them any more
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.

I should have left this town this morning
But it was more than I could do.
Oh, your love comes on so strong
And I've waited all day long
For tonight when I'll be staying here with you.

Is it really any wonder
The love that a stranger might receive.
You cast your spell and I went under,
I find it so difficult to leave.

I can hear that whistle blowin',
I see that stationmaster, too,
If there's a poor boy on the street,
Then let him have my seat
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.

Throw my ticket out the window,
Throw my suitcase out there, too,
Throw my troubles out the door,
I don't need them any more
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.

"Touch And Go"

"Touch And Go"


I know we can make it baby
If only we try
Let's hang on to love
And don't let it die
Even though

It's been touch and go
Off and on
Weak and strong
But then we didn't know
That with hope, we could cope
With all the ups and downs
So please stay around
I need you so

I'd give you a bed of roses
Right here in my arms
But you got to take
The sweet with the thorns
And I know

It's been touch and go
Off and on
Weak and strong
But then we didn't know
That with hope, we could cope
With all the ups and downs
So please stay around
I need you so

It's been touch and go
Off and on
Weak and strong
But then we didn't know
That with hope, we could cope
With all the ups and downs
So please stay around
I need you so

It's been touch and go
Off and on
Weak and strong
But then we didn't know
That with hope, we could cope
With all the ups and downs
So please stay around
I need you so

"Train Of Thought"

"Train Of Thought"


When you're talkin' in your sleep,
And the name that you whisper ain't mine
And I've finally faced the fact
That you're cheatin' on me one more time
When my anger starts to rumble
And my steam starts to rise
And the wheels keep turning
Faster as I think of all your lies

Oh that train of thought runnin' right on time
But it's off the track and I'm losing my mind
'Cause the way you used me
Gonna drive me insane honey
Say you'll never leave me
For God's sake stop the train

Oh the camel back is broken
By the one extra straw added on
And a woman can't see reason
When her last ray of sunshine is gone
There's a finger on the trigger
And that locomotive sound
And I think how much I love you
And I turn the gun around

Oh that train of thought runnin' right on time
But it's off the track and I'm losing my mind
And you hold me the last time
As I try to explain, honey
Don't feel bad about me
I just had to stop this train

Gotta get off, gotta get off
Gotta get off, gotta get off (woo-woo)
Gotta get off, gotta get off
This train of thought (woo-woo)
Gotta get off, gotta get off (woo-woo)
Gotta get off, gotta get off
The train of thought (woo-woo)

"Two People Clinging To A Thread"

"Two People Clinging To A Thread"


Once we wake up everyday
And smiled remembering
How we loved the night away
Now we look for small talk
When it's time to dim the light
Then we both pretend we're tired
We can always love some other night

So we wake up in the morning
And we go our separate ways
Present in our silence
As the music softly plays
Each day like the day before
We tell ourselves
We'll try once more
To once again we lay here
Barely touching in our bed
We're just two people
Clinging to a thread

And so we just pretend a bit
And we never say the words
That spell the end of it
Still we go on trying
To fan the dying spark
And sometimes
Even reach out
For each other in the dark

"Until It's Time For You To Go"
(originally by Buffy Sainte-Marie)

"Until It's Time For You To Go"
(originally by Buffy Sainte-Marie)



You're not a dream, you're not an angel
You're a man
I'm not a queen, I'm a woman
Take my hand
We'll make a space in the lives
That we'd planned
And here we'll stay
Until it's time for you to go

Yes, we're different worlds apart
We're not the same
We laughed and played at the start
Like in a game
You could have stayed outside my heart
But in you came
And here you'll stay
Until it's time for you to go

Don't ask why of me
Don't ask how
Don't ask forever
Love me, love me now

This love of mine had no beginning
It has no end
I was an oak, now I'm a willow
I can bend
And though I'll never in my life
See you again
Still, I'll stay
Until it's time for you to go

"Walk With Me"

"Walk With Me"


Standing all alone inside a crowd
Someone comes along and pulls you out
You smile at the chance
But deep inside, you hide your heart again

Walk with me
Take my hand and walk with me
You can count on me
Through your troubles times
I'll be for you what you've been for me
Walk with me, understand
Oh walk with me

Standing all alone so down and out
It easy to forget what life's about
But you know I'm your cure
So wear that smile we need
To see us through

Walk with me
Take my hand and walk with me
You can count on me
Through your troubles times
I'll be for you what you've been for me
Walk with me, understand
Oh walk with me

Baby, baby I am here
When you can't see me
See me through your tears
Feel me, feel me make it real for you
And you'll make it, baby

Walk with me
Take my hand and walk with me
You can count on me
Through your troubles times
I'll be for you what you've been for me
Walk with me, understand
Oh walk with me

Walk with me
Take my hand and walk with me
You can count on me
Through your troubles times
I'll be for you what you've been for me
Walk with me, understand
Oh walk with me
