I will try to sing a happy song
I’ll try and make a happy game to play
“Come play with me” I whispered to my new found friend
Tell me what it’s like to go outside
I’ve never been
Tell me what it’s like to just go outside
I’ve never been
And I never will
Well, I never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it
They don’t abuse it
Never gonna lose it
I can’t refuse it, mhm
Trade winds find Galleons lost in the sea
I know where treasure is waiting for me
Silver and gold in the mountains of Spain
I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish caravan
Yes, I know you can
Night
And stars above that shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our caravan
Sleep
Upon my shoulder as we creep
Across the sand so I may keep
The memory of our caravan
Night falls, I’m cast beneath her spell
Daylight comes, our heaven turns to hell
Am I left to burn
And burn eternally?
She’s a mystery to me
She’s a mystery girl
She’s a mystery girl
Sun rises, night falls
Sometimes, the sky calls
Is there a song there?
And do I belong there?
I’ve never been there, but I know the way
I’m going to go back there someday
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
Sunrise doesn’t last all morning
A cloudburst doesn’t last all day
Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning
It’s not always gonna be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
Sunset doesn’t last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this, my love is up and must be leaving
It’s not always gonna be this grey
In the caves
All cats are grey
In the caves
The textures coat my skin
In the death cell
A single note
Rings on and on and on
I got a letter this mornin’
I say now, how do y’all reckon it read?
I said I got a letter this mornin’
I say now, how do y’all reckon it read?
It said, “Hurry, hurry!”
“'Cause the girl you love is dead”
So take a letter, Maria
Address it to my wife
Say I won’t be coming home
Gonna start a new life
So take a letter, Maria
Address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer
Gonna start a new life
Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain’t got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone, I’m a-goin’ home
My baby, just a wrote me a letter
I don’t care how much money I gotta spend
Got to get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone, I’m a-goin’ home
My baby, just wrote me a letter
Lonely people, lonely people
Up above these ghetto streets, in penthouse suites, they sit and stare
Lonely people, lonely people
They smile and say goodbye, but behind their eyes, they just don’t care
Father McKenzie writing the words
Of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks
In the night when there’s nobody there
What does he care?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?
Here I lie in a lost and lonely part of town
Held in time in a world of tears, I slowly drown
Going home, I just can’t make it all alone
I really should be holdin’ you, holdin’ you
Lovin’ you, lovin’ you
Tragedy
When the feeling’s gone, and you can’t go on, it’s tragedy
When the morning cries and you don’t know why, it’s hard to bear
With no one to love you, you’re going nowhere
Tragedy
When you lose control, and you got no soul, it’s tragedy
When the morning cries and you don’t know why, it’s hard to bear
With no one beside you, you’re going nowhere
Back to the cold restless streets at night
Talk to myself about tomorrow night
Walls of white protest
A gravestone in name
Who is it now?
It’s always the same
Who is it now? Who calls me inside?
Are the leaves on the trees just a living disguise?
I walk the street, rain, tragicomedy
I’ll walk home again to the street melody
But I know, oh no
Walk hard, hard, down life’s rocky road
Walk bold, hard, that’s my creed, my code
I’ve been scorned and slandered and ridiculed, too
Had to struggle every day my whole life through
Seen my share of the worst that this world can give
But I’ve still got a dream and a burning rage to live
Deep in my heart there’s a trembling question
Still I am sure that the answer’s gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, there’s a beckoning candle
And while I can think,
While I can talk
While I can stand,
While I can walk
While I can dream,
Please let my dream come true… right now
When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream
