The wheel is turning and you can’t slow down,
You can’t let go and you can’t hold on,
You can’t go back and you can’t stand still,
If the thunder don’t get you then the lightning will.
If you see me coming, better step aside
A lot of men didn’t; a lot of men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don’t get you, then the left one will
One step beyond…
Somewhere beyond the sea
She’s there, waiting for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms I’d go sailing
Sailing, sailing, over the bounding main.
For many a stormy wind shall blow, 'ere Jack comes home again!
-“BB”-
You were the sunshine, baby
Whenever you smile
But I call you Stormy today
All of a sudden, that old rain’s falling down
And my world is cloudy and gray
You’ve gone away, hey
Oh, Stormy
Oh, Stormy
Bring back that sunny day
They call it Stormy Monday
But Tuesday’s just as bad
They call it Stormy Monday
But Tuesday’s just as bad
Lord, and Wednesday’s worse
And Thursday’s all so sad
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we’re born
Into this world we’re thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm
As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name
“If you want to save your soul from Hell, a-ridin’ on our range
Then cowboy, change your ways today, or with us you will ride
Tryin’ to catch the Devil’s herd, across these endless skies”
Yippie-yi-oh, yippie-yi-aie!
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
He’s a rider in the rain
He’s a rider in the rain
And I’m goin’ back to Arizona
Goin’ forget about the pain
Ya know I saw Miss Lucy down along the tracks
She lost her home and her family and she won’t be comin’ back
Without love
Where would you be now
Without lo…ve
Tied, tied to a time
When we knew that the sun would shine
And you were all smiles
And we could just talk for a while
If I could find you
And tell you about my life
Or maybe just write
And remind you of when we would dream
Of where we would be when the future comes
And how you would paint while I wrote my songs
Loneliness is the cloak you wear
A deep shade of blue is always there
The sun ain’t gonna shine anymore
The moon ain’t gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you’re without love, baby
Loneliness is a power that we possess
To give or take away forever
All I know can be shown by your acceptance
Of the facts there shown before you
Take what I say in a different way
And it’s easy to say that this is all confusion
As I see a new day in me
I can also show it you, and you may follow
Gray stands the tower in the distance
Days pass like warm sun on the face
A new season
Shared is the cure to conquer loneliness
It’s strange and wilder, nature’s bechilder
Saved by fire, touched and finer
Peaceful, blissful union is the priestess
Doubt flows the river into darkness
Loneliness is such a sad affair
And I can hardly wait to be with you again
What to say to make you come again?
Come back to me again, and play that sad guitar
Don’t you remember, you told me you loved me, baby?
You said you’d be coming back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby
I love you, I really do
Your painted smile hides you still
While you search yourself within
Yesterday and tomorrow’s found
Fused as one upon solid ground
As all around the milling crowd
Confuse themselves with raging sounds
And their loves forgetfulness abounds
So be thankful for your greasepaint-clown
If loneliness wears the crown of the Veteran Cosmic Rocker
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you’ll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile, and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through for you
And if it’s bad
Don’t let it get you down
You can take it
And if it hurts
Don’t let them see you cry
You can make it
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head high
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head high
Don’t cry out loud
Just keep it inside
And learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall
Remember you almost had it all
