I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain 3

I bought a bourgeois house in the Hollywood Hills
With a truckload of hundred thousand dollar bills
Man came by to hook up my cable TV
We settled in for the night, my baby and me

We switched round and round till half-past dawn
There was fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on
Fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on
Fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on

I know I feel a change is happening
Something good will happen
I feel love is coming on strong, and I want it
We can make it happen

I want the world to change for me
Gotta get away, away from Z
Living on the edge of Z

Getting nothing but static (static)
Getting nothing but static (static)
Static in my attic from Channel Z

Me and all my friends
We’re all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There’s no way we ever could
Now we see everything that’s going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don’t have the means
To rise above and beat it

So we keep waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change

So if you’re tired of the same old story
Oh baby, turn some pages
I will be here when you are ready
To roll with the changes, baby
Roll with the changes
Ah, you know you know you know you got to

I’ve been thinking about our fortune
And I’ve decided that we’re really not to blame
For the love that’s deep inside us now, is still the same
And the sound we make together
Is the music to the story in your eyes
It’s been shining down upon you now, I realize

Listen to the tide slowly turning
Wash all our heartaches away
We are part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build another day

First the tide rushes in
Plants a kiss on the shore
Then rolls out to sea
And the sea is very still once more

So, I’ll rush to your side
Like the oncoming tide
With one burning thought
Will your arms open wide

I have watched you on the shore
Standing by the ocean’s roar
Do you love me, do you, surfer girl?
Surfer girl, surfer girl

We could ride the surf together
While our love would grow
In my Woody, I would take you
Everywhere I go

Let’s swim to the moon, uh huh
Let’s climb through the tide
Penetrate the evenin’ that the
City sleeps to hide
Let’s swim out tonight, love
It’s our turn to try
Parked beside the ocean
On our moonlight drive

The sound of strangers sending nothing to my mind
Just another mad, mad day on the road
I am just living to be lying by your side
But I’m just about a moonlight mile on down the road

It’s just a state of mind, freedom and time has got me frozen up inside
I wanna recognise under this moonlight that God is on my side
With senses running wild we touched the sky, it looks like Heaven in my eyes
Moonlight medicine keeps me alive, don’t let your senses be denied

I’ll take you on a trip beside the ocean
And drop the top at Chesapeake Bay
Ain’t nothing like the sky to dose a potion
The moon’ll send you on your way
Moonlight
Feels right
Moonlight
Feels right

Ain’t no lion or tiger, ain’t no mamba snake
Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake
Ev’rybody is as happy as a man can be
Climb aboard, little wog, sail away with me

Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

If there’s one thing in my life that’s missing
It’s the time that I spend alone
Sailing on the cool and bright clear water

There’s lots of those friendly people
They’re showing me ways to go
But I never want to lose their inspiration

All day I’ve faced a barren waste
Without the taste of water, cool water
Old Dan and I with throats burned dry
And souls that cry for water
Cool, clear, water

The earth is sucked bare by the sun
The empty clouded sky
The dazzling drone of pure heat rings alone
Seeing tears flash dry
On a sailing boat out to sea
Their mouths have all been parched
The … of land drags the life from their glands
February and March

From a year without rain

Water of love deep in the ground
But there ain’t no water here to be found
Some day baby when the river runs free
It’s gonna carry that water of love to me

The water is wide, I cannot cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I

Standing
On the edge of the quay
No light flashes on the water for me
Fog in my mind darkens in my eyes
Silently streaming for a distant sound
Ripple river yellows
Rising for a breath of breeding and drowns
Stillness overcomes me in the night
Listen to the rising water moan

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I’ve been
I wish that it would go away and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand-new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain…
I’ve seen sunny days I thought would never end…
I seen lonely times when I could not find a friend…
But I always thought I’d see you again.
