Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine  
I’m leavin’ my life in your hands  
People say I’m crazy and that I am blind  
Risking it all in a glance

I threw a wish in the well,  
Don’t ask me, I’ll never tell  
I looked to you as it fell,  
And now you’re in my way  
I’d trade my soul for a wish,  
Pennies and dimes for a kiss  
I wasn’t looking for this,  
But now you’re in my way

Take second best  
Put me to the test  
Things on your chest  
You need to confess  
I will deliver  
You know I’m a forgiver  
Reach out and touch faith  
Reach out and touch faith

Touch me in the morning  
Then just walk away  
We don’t have tomorrow  
But we had yesterday

I need a lover that won’t drive me crazy  
Some girl to thrill me and then go away

Some girl that knows the meaning of a

She drives me crazy,  
Uh uh,  
Like no-one else,  
Uh uh,  
She drives me crazy,  
And I can’t help myself,  
Uh uh.

I can’t get,  
Any rest,  
People say,  
I’m obsessed

I’ve got a pocket full of holes  
Head in the clouds the king of fools  
You’ve got a ribbon of rainbows  
The sun in your eyes burning through  
Could be I’m happy and sad  
Could be I’m losing my head over you

Well, you’ve gotta be crazy, baby  
To want a guy like me, yeah  
You’ve gotta be out of your mind,  
Crazy

Try to remember  
The kind of September  
When grass was green  
And corn was yellow.

Memories  
Light the corners of my mind.  
Misty water-colored memories  
Of the way we were.  
Scattered pictures  
Of the smiles we left behind.  
Smiles we gave to one another  
For the way we were.

Memory, All alone in the moonlight  
I can smile at the old days  
I was beautiful then  
I remember  
The time I knew what happiness was  
Let the memory live again

I got no means to show identification  
I got no papers show you what I am  
You’ll have to take me just the way that you find me  
What’s gone is gone and I do not give a damn  
Empty stomach, empty head  
I got empty heart and empty bed  
I don’t remember  
I don’t remember

I don’t remember, I don’t recall  
I got no memory of anything at all  
I don’t remember, I don’t recall  
I got no memory of anything  
-anything at all

Coronet Blue  
Coronet Blue  
Deep down inside my brain  
I keep hearing that wild refrain

Coronet Blue  
No other clue  
I know that this must be  
The thing that can set me free

For I was born just yesterday  
Lonely as a misty river  
Always a’ moving like a river  
If I linger, I will die

And so I go my lonely way  
Every journey filled with danger  
Even to myself a stranger  
Wondering who am I

Up a lazy river where the robin’s song  
Awakes the bright new morning  
Where we can move along  
Blue skies up above, everyone’s in love  
Up a lazy river, how happy you could be  
Up a lazy river with me

Touching the last of what is past  
Moving silent water fell the first that comes.  
Slow and winding, flowing free  
Peaceful music in its sound of distant drums.

Trust the shallow virgin stream  
Danger wild, beware the deeper it becomes.  
Moving highway, twisting byway  
Can’t turn back.

Shining in the summer rain  
Rain that’s caught in its flow.  
Spreading, shining, silver lining  
Gold on black.

Echoes moods of the moon and sun  
Sun that shines from below.  
Makes a soft and easy way  
Left to choose its path will always be a friend.

Now, won’t you bat it down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on.  
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans.  
Go on, I’ve had enough; dump my blues down in the gulf.  
She loves you, Big River, more than me.

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry  
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.  
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River.  
Then I’m gonna sit right here until I die.

I’m not scared of dying,  
And I don’t really care.  
If it’s peace you find in dying,  
Well then let the time be near.
