I will follow you into the dark.
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
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
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
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
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
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
Please, please, please, please, please tell me that you’re gonna
Now, your Daddy don’t mind
And your Mommy don’t mind
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
Won’t you say you love me all of the ti-i-i-i-ime
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
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
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
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
