La La la la la La la la la La la la La la la la la
All lies and no forgiveness Blue skies and lazy rivers Thought I’d search for answers In the sun
Here comes the summer Thought I’d never see the day Yeah yeah yeah Here comes the summer Here comes what may Yeah yeah yeah
Sure enough the day surrenders To the stars and the night With regret and a touch of sadness I’m heading for the light
Here comes the summer Thought I’d never see the day Here comes the summer Here comes what may
You could learn to love You could learn to hate You could learn to be yourself Or you could run away Yeah yeah yeah
Here comes the summer Thought I’d never see the day Here comes the summer Here comes what may
All lies and no forgiveness Blue skies and lazy rivers Thought I’d search for answers In the sun
Take Me to the Morning
Take me to the morning Take me to the morning Take me to the morning With your smile
La la la la la
Clear eyes and a cool head A deep breath and no regrets Maybe just a few Thousand
Was that you Underneath the setting sun On the horizon
La la la la la
A whisky romance On a dark December day Never got the chance To walk that way
I’ll take another breath And I’ll die another day Die another day Die another day Die another day
Take me to the morning Take me to the morning Take me to the morning With your smile
La la la la la
Now There are No Yesterdays
It all came flooding back to me Like the breaking of a dam No longer stranger to the memories But still unsure of who I am
But now there are no yesterdays And tomorrow’s not worth thinking about at all Just a suitcase in a hallway And a ticket to ride
Here comes love and all her graces With a certain kind of style Wasn’t sure if I could face it Hadn’t seen her in a while
But now there are no yesterdays And tomorrow’s not worth thinking about at all Just a suitcase in a hallway And a ticket to ride
Before the bitter hand of winter Takes its icy hold I’m not looking to the future It’s already bought and sold
But now there are no yesterdays And tomorrow’s not worth thinking about at all Just a suitcase in a hallway And a ticket to ride
Borderline
Borderline Cold to the sound Satellites are buzzing overhead Tell you what the weather’s like Or kill you in your bed
Vaporized In the middle of a strange dream
I do my shopping online Better get here on time
A little whisky from the west coast A T-shirt from Vietnam
I can see the sand
Don’t worry baby Don’t you worry about a thing Papa’s gonna buy you A diamond ring
But all the jewels are sharp to touch And in the end you don’t learn much Ain’t that what you said They’ll kill you in your bed
They’ll kill you in your bed
Big big city Getting bigger every day But I can see the sand Heading our way
Freedom isn’t something You could ever handle Did you go to the show Was it all that you thought it would be
I can see the sand It’s a fait accompli I can see the sand Burying me
Borderline Cold to the sound
Borderline Cold to the sound
Cold Beer Sunset
Cold beer sunset Blue sky sunrise White sand shoreline Washing away the lies
Washing away the lies
You get in your car and you drive A thousand miles away You didn’t want to go But you really couldn’t stay
Now everything’s easy Everything’s hard Everything’s open If you’re holding all the cards
If you’re holding all the cards
And when all is said and done There’s a game to be played And no one’s ever on No one’s ever won
If there’s a line to be toed You better put your foot down One thing you need to know No one wants you around
With your small town memories And your big city dreams
Like a song on a juke box A few beers in the afternoon Yeah you remember the tune You remember the tune
With your small town memories And your big city dreams
Cold beer sunset Blue sky sunrise White sand shoreline Washing away the lies
Washing away the lies Washing away the lies Washing away the lies Washing away the lies
Hold On To Living Now
You’ve been cold You got warm again You’ve been down You got up again You’ve been broke And then you earned it again You lost a love And then you found it again
Hold on Hold on to living now Hold on Hold on to living now Hold on Hold on to living now
You don’t wanna be dead You don’t wanna be dead
When everyone else has given up on you Don’t give up on yourself When you think that this world may be done with you You may well surprise yourself
Hold on Hold on to living now Hold on Hold on to living now Hold on Hold on to living now
You don’t wanna be dead You don’t wanna be dead
You set your sights And though your aim may be true Horizons can shift on you And the road that takes you home May not be the one you knew
Hold on Hold on to living now Hold on Hold on to living now Hold on Hold on to living now
Hold on Hold on to living now Hold on Hold on to living now Hold on Hold on to living now
Hold on Hold on to living now Hold on Hold on to living now Hold on Hold on to living now
Cold-Hearted Sinner
Maybe you’ll win some You’ll lose a few more You know what it’s like at the bottom Cos you’ve been there before
And a cold-hearted sinner Shouldn’t ask for it all Where are the lovers To answer the call
God loves a trier Pities a fool Does God love the romance Of bending the rules
And a cold-hearted sinner Shouldn’t ask for it all Bring on the lovers To answer the call
Here comes the morning Well before time Do you wish your regrets Could pay for your crimes
Mmm mmm mm Mmm mmm mm Mmm mmm mm
A cold-hearted sinner Shouldn’t ask for it all Long live the lovers Who answer the call
If you’ve got the morning I’ve got the time Let’s take what we get Lay it all on the line
A cold-hearted sinner Shouldn’t ask for it all God bless the lovers Who answer the call
Mmm mmm mm Mmm mmm mm Mmm mmm mm
Don’t Cry For Me
Don’t cry for me I’m not worthy of your tears But it would be fine If you were to smile Just a little At the breaking of the day
When the sun comes up And you get another chance To do the dance Again
When the grass is green And the sky is blue And you’re with me And I’m with you Again
My work is done here My foolish days are at an end
My work is done here
Well I’m counting on the joys of spring And a simple twisted string on a guitar Maybe a piano somewhere Maybe a piano somewhere
Or a dark foreboding cello And a sweet sympathetic violin
Maybe a piano somewhere
Don’t cry for me I’m not worthy of your tears But it would be fine If you were to smile Just a little Just a little
All the Doors are Closing Now
All the doors are closing now Closing now All the doors are closing now
And the streets ain’t what they seem to be
Like a dream within a dream Within a dream within a dream Get you where you really need to be
Like a dream within a dream Within a dream within a dream Get you where you really need to be
This ain’t your game This ain’t your race You gotta be some other place
This ain’t your game This ain’t your race You gotta be some other place
All the doors are closing now All the doors are closing now All the doors are closing now
All the doors are closing now All the doors are closing now All the doors are closing now
Still A Rock Star In Your Bedroom
Still a rock star in your bedroom With the door closed No one coming in Playing to the four walls It’s a magic show just for you And any spirits passing through
There’s a world outside your window That you could be living in And the California sunshine Ain’t just a dream
It’s a fucking nightmare It’s a fucking nightmare
And you were wrong And I was wrong And she was wrong And they were wrong Hell Everyone was wrong
And when the sun went down On the circumstances All you had was a song
And the California sunshine Ain’t just a dream Ain’t just a dream
You took the train to looneyville It wasn’t all that strange Straight-laced and dependable Might be more deranged
And right there at your fingertips Was the answer to it all Your straight-laced little fingertips But you never made the call
Still a rock star in your bedroom With the door closed No one coming in No one coming in
The River
I see you You’re in my eyes Though I wish it wasn’t so
With the freedom to love You chose to hate From the cradle to the grave
The river runs around me now Smoothing out the rocks The river runs right through me now Finding her way to the sea
There’s nothing as uncertain As a young man’s dreams Not knowing what the future holds Unsure of what to believe
And there’s nothing as unchangeable As an old man’s regrets And there’s no fool like an old fool With the words unsaid
The river runs around me now Smoothing out the rocks The river runs right through me now Finding her way to the sea
You were born and you will die Nothing certain in between And you may ask the reason why But you may not get an answer
The river runs around me now Smoothing out the rocks The river runs right through me now Finding her way to the sea
Big Sleep Coming
Big sleep coming Big sleep coming down the tracks There won’t be no coming back When that big sleep coming
I’m gonna do my best Not to fall in love with these streets Cos I know that they won’t fall in love with me
They won’t ever fall in love with me They won’t ever fall in love with me
I’m gonna lie down underneath A cherry blossom tree She way prettier than me As pretty as can be
And I will not be thinking About the sound of the sea And she will not be thinking She will not be thinking about me
And she won’t ever fall in love with me She won’t ever fall in love with me
Big sleep coming Big sleep coming down the tracks There won’t be no coming back When that big sleep coming
The Lights Of The City
You thought you had it all worked out Your hopeful eyes Not an ounce of doubt
A spring in your step And a lightness of touch Skin so fresh Maybe trusting too much
Well that’s the way it’s meant to be You’re a part of nature’s symphony
But now the lights of the city Don’t seem so pretty Anymore
You played your part You took your turn Choices made Bridges burned
Now the nights are dark And deathly cold You can’t deny you're feeling old
And the lights of the city Don’t seem so pretty Anymore
It’s nearly time to leave the stage And all the half-forgotten roles you played Standing ovations not commonplace now Nothing but a lonely bow
And the lights of the city Don’t seem so pretty Anymore
Yeah, the lights of the city Don’t seem so pretty Anymore
Welcome to the Sunlight
Welcome to the sunlight Falling off the mountainside Welcome to the bounty of the rain
God forbid you might have to endure A little pain I can give you something good To take it all away
Will you ever find The ladder to the heavens that you need so bad Eternally condemned Not to climb a single rung
Could you see a chink of light In the darkest of the darkest skies Might you catch a rising hope From the depths of your despair
I’m grateful for the morning And the laughter I might hear again I’m grateful for the darkness So I might see the stars
I might see the stars I might see the stars
She Come To The Door
She come to the door Like she care about me Come to the door Like she care about me Come to the door Like she care about me Come to the door Like she care about me
She come to the door
Open your eyes Open your eyes And see Some people are having fun Some people are having fun
Is there anything wrong with that
She come to the door Like she care about me Come to the door Like she care about me Come to the door Like she care about me Come to the door Like she care about me
She come to the door
Bup ba ba da da la la la La la la
Go Tell The Future
Go tell the mountain It’s not high enough Go tell the snow It should have melted long ago Go tell the blue sky She’s not pretty anymore Like she don’t already know
Go tell the future To go fuck itself It’s too late for all that now It’s too late for all that now
Go tell the preacher He ain’t nothing He ain’t nothing much at all And all of those words ain’t worth repeating Just a bunch of letters Stuck together And that’s all
Go tell the future To go fuck itself It’s too late for all that now It’s too late for all that now It’s too late for all that now It’s too late for all that now
Go tell that girl That she’s so pretty Maybe the prettiest of all Go tell that girl Not to change a single thing
This is my song And I can say whatever I want This is my song And I can say whatever I want
Go tell the future To go fuck itself It’s too late for all that now It’s too late for all that now It’s too late for all that now It’s too late for all that now
