In a mountain greenery
Where God paints the scenery
Just two crazy people together
While you love your lover
Let blue skies be your coverlet
When it rains we’ll laugh at the weather
My love is deeper than the holler, stronger than the rivers
Higher than the pine trees growin’ tall upon the hill
My love is purer than the snowflakes that fall in late December
And honest as a robin on a springtime window sill
And longer than the song of the whippoorwill
Our love is an old love, baby; it’s older than all our years,
I have seen in strange young eyes, familiar tears.
We’re old souls in a new life, baby;
They gave us a new life, to live and learn,
Some time to touch old friends and still return…
Old friends
Winter companions, the old men
Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sunset
I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you again
Good morning mister sunshine, you brighten up my day
Come sit beside me in your way
Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?
Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?
When I’m alone
with only dreams of you
that won’t come true
what’ll I do?
How do I undo the damage I have done?
How can I be sure
In a world that’s constantly changing?
How can I be sure?
I’ll be sure with you
I hit the city and
I lost my band
I watched the needle
take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done
There’s a hole in daddy’s arm where all the money goes
Jesus Christ died for nothin’ I suppose
Little pitchers have big ears
Don’t stop to count the years
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios
Cause now he’s got a monkey
He’s got a monkey, can’t fight it
Dirty monkey, it’s on his back, he can’t deny it
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don’t you know when you’re going to shock the monkey
Fox the fox
Rat the rat
You can ape the ape
I know about that
There is one thing you must be sure of
I can’t take any more
Darling, don’t you monkey with the monkey, hey

When the blackbird in the Spring,
On the willow tree,
Sat and rocked, I heard him sing,
Singing Aura Lea.
Aura Lea, Aura Lea,
Maid with golden hair;
Sunshine came along with thee,
And swallows in the air.
When the swallows come back to Capistrano
That’s the day you promised to come back to me
When you whispered, “Farewell”, in Capistrano
Twas the day the swallow flew out to sea
All the mission bells will ring
The chapel choir will sing
The happiness you’ll bring
Will live in my memory
When the swallows come back to Capistrano
That’s the day I pray that you’ll come back to me
Every light in the house is on
The backyard’s bright as the crack of dawn
The front walk looks like runway lights
It’s kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone
Every light in the house is on
Well, I keep on thinkin’ ‘bout you, sister golden hair surprise
And I just can’t live without you, can’t you see it in my eyes?
I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn’t mean you ain’t been on my mind
Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don’t mind sayin’, I just can’t make it
I can’t live if living is without you,
I can’t live, I can’t give anymore,
I can’t live if living is without you,
I can’t give, I can’t give anymore…
Yes, I do
Live without the sunlight
Love without your heartbeat
I…I can’t live within you
I can’t live within you…
