"Born To The Breed"

"Born To The Breed"


I was only nineteen
The morning you were born
With your hair fine and red
And your eyes like my own

Barely a woman
With only a song
I sang to make you smile
And held you all night long

Home through the streets
With you in my arms
Cold winter mornings
In a Colorado town

I've seen you stumble
You've watched me fall
You know I've got nothing
You know we've got it all

Trucks roll by and the rain coming down
Does that old parka keep you dry?
Sixteen years old out on the road
Trying to get to the sky

Back in September
You called me on the phone
"Ma, you know I love you
But I gotta be own my own"

"Comes a time in a boy's life
When he's got to be a man
Please don't try to find me
Please try to understand"

Now he's playing guitar
In a rock and roll band
Looking like a baby
Talking like a man

The life of a guitar man
Is a hard life to live
What can I tell you
You were born to the breed

Rain comes down, the trucks rolling by
I that old poncho gonna keep you dry?
Sixteen years old, January child
Trying to get to the sky

I've watched you growing
Through all these years
You've seen me stumble
I've watched your tears

Sometimes there was roses
Sometimes there was thorns
But I know you're gonna make it
As sure as you were born

And I hope from what you wanted
You get what you need
I know you're gonna make it
You were born to the breed
Sixteen years old, January child
Trying to get to the sky

"Both Sides Now"

"Both Sides Now"


Bows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feathered canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud's illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
When every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost but something's gained
In living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

"Bottle Of Wine"

"Bottle Of Wine"


Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
When you gonna let me get sober
Let me alone, let me go home
Let me go back and start over

Ramblin' around this dirty old town
Singin' for nickels and dimes
Time's getting rough I ain't got enough
To buy me a bottle of wine

Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
When you gonna let me get sober
Let me alone, let me go home
Let me back and start over

There's a little hotel, older than Hell
Cold as the dark in the mine
Blanket so thin, I lie there and grin
Buy me a little bottle of wine

Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
When you gonna let me get sober
Let me alone, let me go home
Let me go back to start over

Well the preacher will preach and the teacher will teach
The miner will dig in the mine
I ride the rods, trusting in God
And hugging my bottle of wine

Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
When you gonna let me get sober
Let me alone, let me go home
Let me go back to start over

Well, pain in my head and bugs in my bed
My pants so old that they shine
Out on the street, tell the people I meet
Buy me a little bottle of wine

Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
When you gonna let me get sober
Let me alone, let me go home
Let me go back to start over

Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
When you gonna let me get sober
Let me alone, let me go home
Let me go back to start over

"Bread And Roses"

"Bread And Roses"


As we go marching, marching
In the beauty of the day
A million darkened kitchens
A thousand mill lofts grey
Are touched with all the radiance
That a sudden sun discloses
For the people hear us singing
Bread and roses, bread and roses

As we go marching, marching
We battle too for men
For they are women's children
And we mother them again
Our lives shall not be sweetened
From birth until life closes
Hearts starve as well as bodies
Give us bread, but give us roses

As we go marching, marching
We bring the greater days
For the rising of the women
Means the rising of the race
No more the drudge and idler
Ten that toil where one reposes
But the sharing of life's glories
Bread and roses, bread and roses

"Bridge Over Troubled Water"

"Bridge Over Troubled Water"


When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all, ooh
I'm on your side, ooh, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out, when you're on the street
When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you, ooh
I'll take your part, ooh, when darkness comes
And pain is all around

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on silver girl, sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine, ooh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind, ease your mind

"Bright Day"

"Bright Day"


On the bright day we all set sail,
The sea was as clear as glass.
Gentle, fair wind, no sign of gale,
Running so smooth and fast.

Like a silk banner in the sun,
Amethyst blue and gold,
Spiniker pointed to the sky,
All of our sails unfurled.

What is beneath the sea,
What is it you can't hold,
Safe in the harbor's arms
What is it you don't know?

All of that day we sailed so far,
To the horizon's line,
Far as our eyes could see the way,
All of the world was kind.

Under our hull, the humpbacked whale
Singing his holy song,
Swimming his ancient path of blue,
Where once we had all belonged.

Everything dying lives
Everything living dies
Nothing will last for long
Everything else is lies.

Suddenly then the wind grew cold,
And the dark clouds rolled in.
Billowing sails began to tear,
Driven against the wind.

Hard in our face the rain came on,
Fierce as the devil's storm
Down on our knees we fought to pray
Battered, our hopes were born.

Kill and be killed, he said,
Twist and be twisted, too,
If you choose life to live,
Everything comes to you.

Why we were spared we'll never know
But the sun shone again.
All the wind died as fast as snow
The water was calm again.

Nothing would ever be the same,
No matter where we might sail,
If you can change you fear to faith
You can not ever fail.

What is beneath the sea,
What is it you can't hold,
Safe in the harbor's arms,
What is it you don't know?

Bright morning stars are rising
Bright morning stars are rising
Bright morning stars are rising
Day is breaking in my soul

Oh, where are our dear fathers?
Oh, where are our dear fathers?
Across the valley working
Day is breaking in my soul

Bright morning stars are rising
Bright morning stars are rising
Bright morning stars are rising
Day is breaking in my soul

Oh, where are our dear sisters?
Oh, where are our dear sisters?
They have gone to heaven shouting
Day is breaking in my soul

Oh, where is my dear Savior?
Oh, where is my dear Savior?
He is in my heart forever
Day is breaking in my soul

"Brother, Can You Spare A Dime"

"Brother, Can You Spare A Dime"


They used to tell me I was building a dream
And so I followed the mob
When there was earth to plow or guns to bear
I was always there, right out on the job

They used to tell me I was building a dream
With peace and glory ahead
Why should I be standing in line
Just waiting for bread?

Once I built a railroad, made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a railroad, now it's done
Buddy, can you spare a dime?

Once I built a tower to the sun
Built of brick and water, and lime
Once I built a tower, now it's done
Buddy, can you spare a dime?

Once in khaki suits, gee, we looked fine
Full of that Yankee-Doodly-Dum
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell
And I was the kid with the drum

Oh say, don't you remember they called me 'Al'?
It was 'Al' all the time
Say, don't you remember I am your pal?
Buddy, can you spare a dime?

"Cactus Tree"
(feat. Shawn Colvin)

"Cactus Tree"
(feat. Shawn Colvin)



There's a man who's been out sailing
In a decade full of dreams
And he takes her to a schooner
And he treats her like a queen

Bearing beads from California
With their amber stones and green
He has called her from the harbor
He has kissed her with his freedom

He has heard her off to starboard
In the breaking and the breathing
Of the water weeds
While she was busy being free

There's a man who's climbed a mountain
And he's calling out her name
And he hopes her heart can hear
Three thousand miles

He calls again
He can think her there beside him
He can miss her just the same
He has missed her in the forest

While he showed her all the flowers
And the branches sang the chorus
As he climbed the scaly towers of a forest tree
While she was somewhere being free

There's a man who's sent a letter
And he's waiting for reply
He has asked her of her travels
Since the day they said goodbye

He writes, "Wish you were beside me
We can make it if we try"
He has seen her at the office
With her name on all his papers

Through the sharing of the profits
He will find it hard to shake her
From his memory
And she's so busy being free

There's a lady in the city
And she thinks she loves them all
There's the one who's thinking of her
There's the one who sometimes calls

There's the one who writes her letters
With his facts and figures scrawl
She has brought them to her senses
They have laughed inside her laughter

Now she rallies her defenses
For she fears that one will ask her for eternity
And she's so busy being free

There's a man who sends her medals
He is bleeding from the war
There's a jouster and a jester
And a man who owns a store

There's a drummer and a dreamer
And you know there may be more
She will love them when she sees them
They will lose her if they follow

And she only means to please them
And her heart is full and hollow like a cactus tree
While she's so busy being free
Like a cactus tree, being free

"Campo De Encino"

"Campo De Encino"


I want to live on the valley side,
Where the girls are skinny and the sky is wide,
Were I can take my horsey for a ride,
In Campo de Encino.
Listening to the local rock and roll band,
Resting my feet in the cool green screenland,
Me and Ralph Vaughn Williams going to make our stand,
In Campo de Encino.
Ay, yi, yi.
I want to drive a sporty car,
And be a pinball star,
And have a waterfall bar,
That revolves around my swimming pool.
I want to take touch therapy,
I want to wipe out VD,
And set the animals free,
But most of all I want to soar, I just want to soar away.
Why don't we have a Bar B Que,
and I'll make love to you,
And we'll drink tequila all day.
I want to live San Fernando style,
I want to eat an artichoke once in a while,
I want to watch police helicopters checking my file,
In Campo de Encino.
A chamber group playing without any clothes,
Good for the oboes, but hard on the cellos,
Everybody knows,
It's only Campo.
Ay yi yi.
I want to take a vegetarian diet,
I've got to learn to be quiet,
That is I think that I'll try it,
I've heard it cures all.
I really want to learn about the primal scream,
And the meaning of my dream,
And get back on the beam,
But most of all I want to soar, I want to soar away.
Why don't we listen to the Stones,
And explore some unknowns,
If my Mom will let me skip ballet.
Ay yi yi, Ay yi yi, Ay yi yi, Ay yi yi.
Ay yi yi, Ay yi yi, Ay yi yi, Ay yi yi.
Ay yi yi, Ay yi yi, Ay yi yi, Ay yi yi.
Ay yi yi, Ay yi yi, Ay yi yi, Ay yi yi.
