"When The Blue Hour Comes"

"When The Blue Hour Comes"


The good times are all gone
The night keeps coming on so strong
You cant hold on, no matter what you do
Will there be someone who cares for you
When the blue hour comes?
When the blue hour comes?

And when your restless heart
Tears your world apart
And everywhere you turn
Its falling down on you
Will there be a light that shines for you?

When the blue hour comes for you
If theres anything that you would have me do
Just call on me and Ill be coming through
I will always be there for you
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes

Good times don't last forever
Sometimes its now or never
Darling, reach out for me
You know where Ill be
I will always be there for you
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes

When the blue hour comes for you
If theres anything that you would have me do
Just call on me and Ill be coming through
I will always be there for you
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes

I will always be there
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes...

"Where We Start"

"Where We Start"


Lookin' at your childhood face
On the pillow where you lie
Maybe when a good thing's gone
One is born before our eyes

Standin' here alone in this room with you
All you were before and all you will be, too
Penetrates my lonely, lonely heart
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, this is where we start

Waking to this dream of life
Honey, there's no cause to hide
Risin' like a breath of ease
All the world is on our side

All alone in this room with you
All the things you are and all you will be, too
Penetrates, devastates my lonely heart
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, this is where we start
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, this is where we start

Hand me down my dancing shoes
Hand me down my silver wings
Take me out to town tonight, yes
So I can hear my angels sing

Lying here with you, I raise my eyes
And I pray that time, time will pass us by
To remain inside the beating of your heart
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, this is where we, where we start
Oh, oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, this is where we, where we start, where we start
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, this is where we start

"Who Divided"

"Who Divided"


I get into my car
Turn the radio on
Drive by your house, your window, your bed
Since we've been over and done
Ah, but your voice is still ringin' in my head
Who divided up the days into hours
The hours into minutes
How could they really be that smart?
Who divided up the minutes into seconds?
They must've had a broken heart
Must've had a broken heart
I saw you way up town
Another girl by your side
I knew by your smile she was more than just a friend
I'm gonna bury my head in the comfort so deeper
Knowin' I'll never feel your arms again
Who divided up the days into hours
The hours into minutes
How could they really be that smart?
Who divided up the minutes into seconds?
They must've had a broken heart
Must've had a broken heart
It's when love is over you're gonna learn about time
You're gonna fight and scheme
You're gonna weep and moan
You're gonna wonder why, why, why, why
It's 3 AM says the clock on the wall
Here is the dark of the night the world stands still
I'm reaching for the phone, that old number to call
Oh, but I know I can't stand to feel that chill
Who divided up the days into hours
The hours into minutes
How could they really be that smart?
Who divided up the minutes into seconds?
They must've had a broken heart
Must've had a broken heart
Who divided up the days into hours
The hours into minutes
How could they really be that smart?
Who divided up the minutes into seconds?
They must've had a broken heart
Must've had a broken heart
Who divided up the days into hours
The hours into minutes
How could they really be that smart?
Who divided up the minutes into seconds?
They must've had a broken heart
Must've had a broken heart
Oh, they must've had a broken heart
They must have, must have, must have had a broken heart

"Why Can't We Live Together"
(originally by Timmy Thomas)



Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why.
Why can't we live together?
Tell me why, tell me why.
Why can't we live together?

Everybody wants to live together.
Why can't we be together?

No more war, no more war, no more war...
Just a little peace.
No more war, no more war.
All we want is some peace in this world.

Everybody wants to live together.
Why can't we be together?

No matter, no matter what colour.
You are still my brother.
I said no matter, no matter what colour.
You are still my brother.

Everybody wants to live together

Why can't we be together?

Everybody wants to live.
Everybody's got to be together.

Everybody wants to live.
Everybody's going to be together.

Everybody's got to be together.
Everybody wants to be together.

I said no matter, no matter what colour.
You're still my brother.
I said no matter, no matter what colour.
You're still my brother.

Everybody wants to live together.
Why can't we be together?

Gotta live together...
Together.

"Wild World"

"Wild World"


How will we stay on the sidewalk
When there is no gravity
Piece of paper floating upward
But no one stops to see
And you think that I'm the right one
'Cause I know just what to say
And you ask me to convince you
That you won't blow away
In this wild wild world
Wild, wild world
By the river
Well we made them to be broken
Sorry if they let you down
Sorry if the ones you know
Are vanishing all over town
And I need someone to hold me
And I ask you to be fair
And you'd like to give me something
But we both know there ain't a lot
Ain't a lot to spare
In this wild, wild world
Wild, wild world
Oh are you listening
To make sure I'm still here?
Oh did you know
That the river burns like gasoline
And they can't turn on the rain machine
And they tell me there is no more space
Won't you turn around
'Cause I hate it when I cannot see your face
In this wild, wild world
In this wild, wild world
Wild, wild world
By the river

"Work On Me"

"Work On Me"


The way a whiskey tingles downward
The way a storm can boil a sea
The way the summer makes everybody younger
That is how you work on me!
The way your freight train rocks the coal cars
The way a river carves its bed
The way a hand fits inside a pocket
That is how you live in my head.

If I had known I would miss you like this
I would have made movies of every kiss.

The way a cloud engulfs a jet plane
The way a woman sips her tea
The way a song fills the atmosphere
That is how you work on me!

If I had known I would miss you like this
Ah, ah, ah, ah
I would have made movies of every kiss.
Ah, ah, ah, ah

The way the wind can whip the branches
The way a kind word sets me free
After the rain, all the world is new again
That is how you work on me, how you work on me!
Oh, how you work on me!
How you work on me!

"You Ain't Goin' Nowhere"
(originally by Bob Dylan)

"You Ain't Goin' Nowhere"
(originally by Bob Dylan)



Clouds so swift
Rain won't lift
Gate won't close
Railings froze
Get your mind off wintertime
You ain't going nowhere

Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we going to fly
Down in the easy chair!

I don't care
How many letters they sent
Morning came and the morning went
Pick up your money
And pack up your tent
You ain't going nowhere

Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, we going to fly
Down in the easy chair!

Buy me a flute
And a gun that shoots
Tailgates and substitutes
Strap yourself
To the tree with roots
You ain't going nowhere

Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, we going to fly
Down in the easy chair!

Genghis Khan
He could not keep
All his kings
Supplied with sleep
We'll climb that hill no matter how steep
When we get up to it

Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, we going to fly
Down in the easy chair!

Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, we going to fly
Down into the easy chair!

"You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go"
(originally by Bob Dylan)

"You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go"
(originally by Bob Dylan)



I've seen love go by my door
It's never been this close before
Never been so easy or so slow
Been shooting in the dark too long
When something's not right, it's wrong
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
Dragon clouds so high above
I've only known careless love
It's always has hit me from below
But this time 'round it's more correct
Right on target, so direct
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
Purple clover, Queen Anne's lace
Crimson hair across your face
You could make me cry, if you don't know
Can't remember what I was thinking of
You might be spoilin' me too much, love
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
Flowers on the hillside blooming crazy
Crickets talking back and forth in rhyme
Blue river runnin' slow and lazy
I could stay with you forever and never realize the time
Situations have ended bad
Relationships have all been sad
Mine've been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud
But there's no way I can compare
All them scenes to this affair
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
You're gonna make me wonder what I'm doin'
Staying far behind without you
You're gonna make me wonder what I'm sayin'
You're gonna make me give myself a good talkin'-to
I'll look for you in old Honolulu
San Francisco or Ashtabula
You're gonna have to leave me now, I know
But I'll see you in the sky above
In the tall grass, in the ones I love
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
