</div>

I will follow!

I was on the outside when you said  
You said you needed me  
I was looking at myself  
I was blind, I could not see

A boy tries hard to be a man  
His mother takes him by his hand  
If he stops to think he starts to cry  
Oh why

If you walk away, walk away  
I walk away, walk away, I will follow

If you walk away, walk away  
I walk away, walk away, I will follow

I was on the inside  
When they pulled the four walls down  
I was looking through the window  
I was lost, I am found

If you walk away, walk away  
I walk away, walk away, I will follow  
If you walk away, walk away,  
I walk away, walk away, I will follow  
I will follow

</div>

Stay with me,  
My love I hope you’ll always be  
Right here by my side if ever I need you  
Oh my love

In your arms,  
I feel so safe and so secure  
Everyday is such a perfect day to spend  
Alone with you

I will follow you will you follow me  
All the days and nights that we know will be  
I will stay with you will you stay with me  
Just one single tear in each passing year

</div>

stay with me, stay with me.

in the silence of your room  
in the darkness of your schemes [… dreams]  
there among the souvenirs [you must only think of me]  
and the useless memories [there can be no in between]  
when your pride is on the floor  
I’ll make you beg for more

</div>

So in the morning  
Please don’t say you love me  
Cause you know I’ll only kick you out the door

Yea I’ll pay your cab fare home  
You can even use my best colonge  
Just don’t be here in the morning when I wake up

Stay with me  
Stay with me  
Cause tonight you better stay with me  
Sit down, get up, get down

</div>

Stay for just a while  
Stay and let me look at you  
It’s been so long, I hardly knew you  
Standing in the door

Stay with me a while  
I only wanna talk to you  
We’ve traveled halfway 'round the world  
To find ourselves again

</div>

you said that I was naive,  
and I thought that I was strong.  
I thought, “hey, I can leave, I can leave.”  
but now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you.

you said, “You caught me 'cause you want me and one day you’ll let me go.”  
"you try to give away a keeper, or keep me 'cause you know you’re just so scared to lose.  
and you say, “stay.”

you say I only hear what I want to.

Stay-ay (ohhhhh) just a little bit longer

If we have another dance dear, just one more (one more time)

Oh won’t you stay, just a little bit longer  
Please let me dance, please say that you will (say you will)  
Won’t you place your sweet lips, on mi-i-i-i-i-i-ine

Well I can dance with you honey  
If you think it’s funny  
Does your mother know that you’re out?  
And I can chat with you baby  
Flirt a little maybe  
Does your mother know that you’re out?

Take it easy (take it easy)  
Better slow down girl  
That’s no way to go  
Does your mother know?  
Take it easy (take it easy)  
Try to cool it girl  
Take it nice and slow  
Does your mother know?

Well, I’m running down the road  
tryin’ to loosen my load  
I’ve got seven women on  
my mind,  
Four that wanna own me,  
Two that wanna stone me,  
One says she’s a friend of mine  
Take It easy, take it easy  
Don’t let the sound of your own wheels  
drive you crazy  
Lighten up while you still can  
don’t even try to understand  
Just find a place to make your stand  
and take it easy

</div>

Know it sounds funny  
But I just can’t stand the pain  
Girl I’m leaving you tomorrow  
Seems to me girl  
You know I’ve done all I can  
You see I begged, stole and I borrowed

Ooh, that’s why I’m easy  
I’m easy like Sunday morning  
That’s why I’m easy  
I’m easy like Sunday morning

I felt so good like anything was possible  
Hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes  
The last three days the rain was un-stoppable  
It was always cold, no sunshine

Yeah I’m runnin’ down a dream  
That never would come to me  
Workin’ on a mystery, goin’ wherever it leads  
Runnin’ down a dream

I rolled on, the sky grew dark  
I put the pedal down to make some time  
There’s something good waitin’ down this road  
I’m pickin’ up whatever’s mine

I’m runnin’ down a dream  
That never would come to me  
Workin’ on a mystery, goin’ wherever it leads  
Runnin’ down a dream

Yeah I’m runnin’ down a dream  
That never would come to me  
Workin’ on a mystery, goin’ wherever it leads  
I’m runnin’ down a dream

</div>

We rented a truck and a semi to go  
Travel down the long and the winding road  
Look on the map, I think we’ve been there before  
Close up the doors, let’s roll once more

Cop’s on the corner, look he’s starting to write  
Well, I don’t need no ticket so I screamed out of sight  
Drove so fast that my eyes can’t see  
Look in the mirror, is he still following me?

Let it roll down the highway  
Let it roll down the highway  
Roll, roll

</div>

Running my rig around ninety-five,  
Rockin’ and rollin’ in overdrive  
My heart’s beating like a jackhammer,  
It’s the midnight ride for the gear jammer

Nine long days through twenty-three states,  
I gotta see my baby soon you know I just can’t wait  
The police catch me I’ll end up in the slammer,  
'Cause the law don’t want no gear jammer

What in the world ever became of sweet Jane?  
She lost her sparkle, you know she isn’t the same  
Livin’ on reds, vitamin C, and cocaine  
All a friend can say is, “Ain’t it a shame?”

Truckin’, up to Buffalo  
Been thinkin’, you got to mellow slow  
Takes time, you pick a place to go and just keep truckin’ on

Sittin’ and starin’ out of the hotel window  
Got a tip they’re gonna kick the door in again  
I’d like to get some sleep before I travel  
But if you got a warrant, I guess you’re gonna come in

Busted, down on Bourbon Street  
Set up like a bowlin’ pin  
Knocked down, it get’s to wearin’ thin  
They just won’t let you be, oh no

You’re sick of hangin’ around and you’d like to travel  
Get tired of travelin’ and you want to settle down  
I guess they can’t revoke your soul for tryin’  
Get out of the door and light out and look all around

Sometimes the light’s all shinin’ on me  
Other times I can barely see  
Lately it occurres to me,  
What a long strange trip it’s been!

I’m out of work, I’m out of my head  
Out of self respect, I’m out of bread  
I’m underloved, I’m underfed, I wanna go home  
It never rains in California, but girl, don’t they warn ya?  
It pours, man, it pours

Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it?  
Had offers but didn’t know which one to take  
Please don’t tell 'em how you found me  
Don’t tell 'em how you found me  
Gimme a break, give me a break

Seems it never rains in southern California  
Seems I’ve often heard that kind of talk before  
It never rains in California, but girl, don’t they warn ya?  
It pours, man, it pours

The old man loaded up everything that he owned  
On a wagon and headed out west  
The old woman fearlessly faced the unknown  
'Cause she figured he knew what was best  
And they settled down hard on a government grant  
With six mouths to feed and forty acres to plant  
And the rain came down  
Like an angel come down from above  
And the rain came down  
It’ll wash you away and there ain’t never enough

[Noticed another Tree cut above, so here ya go…]

A 60 ton angel falls to the earth  
A pile of old metal, a radiant blur  
Scars in the country, the summer and her

Always the summers are slipping away  
Find me a way for making it stay

When I hear the engine pass  
I’m kissing you wide  
The hissing subsides  
I’m in luck

When the evening reaches here  
You’re tying me up  
I’m dying of love  
It’s OK

[the perfect synthesis ;)]

Out on the road there are fireflies circling  
Deep in the woods, where the lost souls hide  
Over the hill there are men returning  
Trying to find some peace of mind

Oh oh sleep my child  
Oh oh sleep my child

Under the fog there are shadows moving  
Don’t be afraid, hold my hand  
Into the dark there are eyelids closing  
Buried alive in the shifting sands

Oh oh sleep my child  
Oh oh sleep my child

They say a city in the desert lies  
The vanity of an ancient king  
But the city lies in broken pieces  
Where the wind howls and the vultures sing  
These are the works of man  
This is the sum of our ambition  
It would make a prison of my life  
If you became another’s wife  
With every prison blown to dust  
My enemies walk free  
I’m mad about you I’m mad about you
