"'Round Midnight"

"'Round Midnight"


It begins to tell 'round midnight
'Round midnight
I do pretty well 'til after sundown
Suppertime I'm feeling sad
But it really gets bad 'round midnight

Memories always start 'round midnight
'Round midnight
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories
When my heart is still with you
And old midnight knows it too

When some quarrel we had needs mending
Does it mean that our love is ending
Darling I need you
Lately I find
You're out of my arms
And I'm out of my mind

Let our love take wing some midnight
'Round midnight
Let the angels sing
For your returning
Let our love be safe and sound
When old midnight comes around

Let our love take wing some midnight
'Round midnight
Let the angels sing
For your returning
Let our love be safe and sound
When old midnight comes around

"A Number And A Name"

"A Number And A Name"


How many times have I read farewell lines
In the things that you never seemed to say
How many times have I read those last lines
And wondered why it ended this way

Words of goodbye and all those loving lines
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time

How you would write about the bright lights
And your words always clouded up my eyes
How you would write about the bright lights
It's a wonder that I never realized
Our race was run now another's just begun
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time

When your letters stopped the tears that I fought
How they came in the flood of memories
When your letters stopped the tears that I fought
How they ran like the rivers to the seas
Each sunny day you slip further away
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time

"A River For Him"

"A River For Him"


I crossed on the river
There'll be no returning
I crossed all the bridges
I watched them all burning
And now I'm a stranger
To a strange land I'm driven
Where all is forgotten
And nothing's forgiven

But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'll ever swim
The heart it will harden
The sorrow will dim
But I cried a river
A river for him

I think of him now
On the road I am taking
And wonder how long
His heart will be breaking
But he'll never hear when
The teardrops are falling
Or the sound of my voice
Or the name I am calling

But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'll ever swim
The heart it will harden
The sorrow will dim
But I cried a river
A river for him

So weep for the sons
And the dear darling daughters
For the passing of time
And the parting of waters
For all who have passed through
This world long before me
To a far distant shore line
Where no one waits for me

But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'll ever swim
The heart it will harden
The sorrow will dim
But I cried a river
A river for him

"Ad"

"Ad"


La madrugada me ve corriendo
Bajo el cielo que va dando color
No salgas sol a nombrarme
A la fuerza de la immigracion

Un dolor que siento en el pecho
Es mi alma que sufre de amor
Pienso en ti y en tus brazos que esperan
Tus besos y tu pasion

Adonde voy, adonde voy
La esperanza es mi destinacion
Solo estoy, solo estoy
Por el monte profugo, voy

Dias, semanas, y meses
Paso muy lejos de ti
Muy pronto te llegara dinero
Yo te quiero tener junto a mi

El trabajo me llena las horas
Tu risa no puedo olividar
Vivir sin tu amor no es vida
Vivir de profugo, igual

Adonde voy, adonde voy
La esperanza es mi destinacion
Solo estoy, solo estoy
Por el monte profugo, voy

Adonde voy, adonde voy
La esperanza es mi destination
Solo estoy, solo estoy
Por el monte profugo, voy

"Adieu False Heart"

"Adieu False Heart"


Adieu false heart now we must part
May the joys of the world go with you
I love you long with a faithful heart
But never anymore can I believe you

I seen the time I'd a married you
And been your constant lover
But now I'd gladly give you up
For one whose heart is truer

You think you are too good for me
You think I am forsaken
But if you think I care for you
You are very much mistaken

My mind is like the constant sun
From the east to the west it ranges
But yours is like unto the moon
It's every month it changes

When I lay down to take my rest
No scornful one to wake me
I'll go straightway unto my grave
Just as fast as time can take me

Adieu false heart now we must part
May the joys of the world go with you
I love you long with a faithful heart
But never anymore can I believe you

"Adios"

"Adios"


Ran away from home when I was seventeen
To be with you
On the California coast

Drinking margaritas all night in the old cantina
Out on the California coast

Don't think that I'm ungrateful
And don't look so morose
Adios
Adios

We never really made it baby
But we came pretty close
Adios adios

Going up north where the hills are winter green
I have to leave you
On the California coast

Going where the water's clear and the air is cleaner
Than the California coast

Our dreams of endless summer
Were just too grandiose
Adios
Adios

And I miss the blood red sunset
But I miss you the most
Adios adios
Adios
Adios
Adios adios

"After The Gold Rush"

"After The Gold Rush"


Well I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming
Sayin' something about a queen
There were peasants singing and drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree

There was a fanfare blowing to the sun
There was floating on the breeze
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the Twentieth Century
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the Twentieth Century

I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst through the sky

There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like I could cry
I was thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie

Thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie

I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun
There were children crying and colors flying
All around the chosen ones

All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun
Flying Mother Nature's silver seed
To a new home in the sun
Flying Mother Nature's silver seed
To a new home

"Alison"

"Alison"


Well it's so funny to be seeing you after so long girl
Ah but the way you look I understand that you are not impressed
But I heard you let that little friend of mine
Take off your party dress
I'm not gonna get too sentimental like those other sticky valentines
'Cause I don't know if you were loving somebody
I only hope he wasn't mine

Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh Alison, my aim is true

Well I see you've got a husband now
Well did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake
You used to hold him right in your hand
Ah but he took all he could take

Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
When I hear the silly things that you say
I think somebody better put out the big light
'Cause I can't stand to see you this way

Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh Alison, my aim is true
My aim is true
My aim is true
My aim is true

"All My Life"

"All My Life"


Am I really here in your arms
This is just like I dreamed it would be
I feel like we're frozen in time
And you're the only one I can see

Hey, I've looked all my life for you
Now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
All my life

And I never really knew how to love
I just hope somehow I'd see
Oh I ask for a little help from above
Send an angel down to me

Hey, I've looked all my life for you
Now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
All my life

I never thought that I could feel a love so tender
Never thought I could let those feelings show
But now my heart is on my sleeve
And this love will never leave
I know
I know

Hey, I've looked all my life for you
And now you're here now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
All my life all my life

Hey, I've looked all my life for you
And now you're here now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
All my life

"All That You Dream"

"All That You Dream"


I've been down but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more

All, all that you dream
Comes through shining silver lining clouds
Clouds change the scene
Rain starts washing all those cautions into your life
Makes you realize just what is true
What else can you do
Just follow the rules
Keep your eyes on the road that's ahead of you

I've been down but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more

All of the good times were ours
In the land of milk and honey
Time, time adds its scars
Rainy days they turn to sunny ones
Living the life, living the life, loving everyone

I've been down but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more
I've been down but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more
