And if your hours are empty, now, who am I to blame.
You think if I were always here our love would be the same?
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
Everywhere I roam
Over land or sea or foam
You can always hear me singing this song
Said show me the way to go home.
Farewell and adieu, to you fair Spanish maidens
Farewell and adieu, to you ladies of Spain
Adieu Michelle it’s hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there
Oh Cathy, Oh Alison, Oh Phillipa, Oh Sue
You made me so much money, I wrote this song for you
Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too
I wrote this song for you
This one’s for you, wherever you are.
Ain’t singin’ for Miller
Don’t sing for Bud
I won’t sing for politicians
Ain’t singin’ for Spuds
This note’s for you.
Miller’s band was better than before;
We yelled and screamed for more.
He closed his eyes and hit the stage in 1955
As the screams of the children filled the hall
When I hit the streets back in '81
Found a heart in the gutter and a poet’s crown
I felt barbed wire kisses and icicle tears
Where have I been for all these years?
Are you reelin’ in the years?
Are you stowin’ away the time?
Are you gatherin’ up the tears,
Have you had enough of mine?
Yesterdays
Yesterdays
Days I knew as happy sweet
Sequestered days
I hope they didn’t get your mind
Your heart is too strong, anyway
We need to fetch back the time
They have stolen from us
Where is my mind?
We’re playing those mind games together
Pushing the barriers planting seeds
Playing the mind guerrilla
Chanting the Mantra peace on earth
We can’t go on together
With suspicious minds
Can’t we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Well let me tell you that it hurts so bad
It makes me feel so sad
It makes me hurt so bad
To see you again
Love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain
Love hurts…ooh, ooh love hurts
