There must be some kind of way out of here Said the joker to the thief Theres too much confusion here I cant get no relief Businessmen, they drink my wine Plow men dig my earth None will level on the line Nobody of it is worth No reason to get excited The thief he kindly spoke There are many here among us Who feel that life is but a joke But you and I weve been through that And this is not our fate So let us not talk falsely now The hours getting late All along the watchtower Princes kept the view Barefoot servants came and went Little children too Outside in the distance A wild cat did growl And two riders were approachin And the wind began to howl
Saint Stephen with a rose In and out of the garden he goes Country garland in the wind and the rain Wherever he goes, the people all complain Stephen prospered in his time Well he may and he may decline Did it matter? Does it now? Stephen would answer if he only knew how Wishing well with a golden bell Bucket hanging clear to Hell Hell halfway twixt now and then Stephen fill it up and lower down And lower down again Ladyfinger dipped in moonlight Writing What for? across the morning sky Sunlight splatters dawn with answers Darkness shrugs and bids the day goodbye Speeding arrow, sharp and narrow What a lot of fleeting matters you have spurned Several seasons with their treasons Wrap the babe in scarlet covers, call it your own Did he doubt or did he try? Answers aplenty in the bye and bye Talk about your plenty, talk about your ills One man gathers what another man spills Saint Stephen will remain All hes lost he shall regain Seashore washed by the suds and foam Been here so long hes got to calling it home Fortune comes a-crawling, Calliope woman Spinning that curious sense of your own Can you answer? Yes I can But what would be the answer to the answer man?

Dark star crashes Pouring its light into ashes Reason tatters The forces tear loose from the axis Searchlight casting For faults in the clouds of delusion Shall we go You and I While we can? Through The transitive nightfall of diamonds Mirror shatters In formless reflections of matter Glass hand dissolving To ice petal flowers revolving Lady in velvet Recedes in the nights of goodbye Shall we go You and I While we can? Through The transitive nightfall of diamonds
Well, there aint nobody safer than someone who doesnt care And it isnt even lonely when no ones ever there I had a lot of dreams once, but some of them came true The honeys sometimes bitter when fortune falls on you And you know Ive been a soldier in the armies of the night And Ill find the fatal error in whats otherwise alright But here youre trembling like a sparrow, I will try with all my might To give you just a little sweetness Just a little light I have always heard that virtue ought to be its own reward But it never comes so easy when youre living by the sword Its even harder to be heartless when you look at me that way Youre as mighty as the flower that will grow the stones away Even though I been a stranger, full of irony and spite Holding little but contempt for all things beautiful and bright Something shines around you and it seems to my delight To give me just a little sweetness Just a little light This could be just another highway, coiled up in the night You could be just another white-tail, baby, stranded on my brights Theres a tingling recognition Like the sound of distant thunder And I begin to wonder If the love Ive driven under wont ignite So you know Ive been a soldier in the armies of the night And Ill find the fatal error in whats otherwise alright Something shines around you and it seems to my delight To give me just a little sweetness Just a little light To give me just a little sweetness Just a little light To give me just a little sweetness Just a little light To give me, to give me, to give me just a little sweetness Just a little light

Let my inspiration flow in token rhyme, suggesting rhythm That will not forsake you, till my tale is told and done While the firelights aglow, strange shadows from the flames will grow Till things weve never seen will seem familiar Shadows of a sailor, forming winds both foul and fair all swarm Down in Carlisle, he loved a lady many years ago Here beside him stands a man, a soldier from the looks of him Who came through many fights, but lost at love While the story teller speaks, a door within the fire creaks; Suddenly flies open, and a girl is standing there Eyes alight, with glowing hair, all that fancy paints as fair She takes her fan and throws it, in the lions den Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell? I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance The sailor gave at least a try, the soldier being much too wise Strategy was his strength, and not disaster The sailor, coming out again, the lady fairly leapt at him Thats how it stands today. You decide if he was wise The story teller makes no choice. Soon you will not hear his voice His job is to shed light, and not to master Since the end is never told, we pay the teller off in gold In hopes he will return, but he cannot be bought or sold Terrapin Station Inspiration, move me brightly. Light the song with sense and color; Hold away despair, more than this I will not ask Faced with mysteries dark and vast, statements just seem vain at last Some rise, some fall, some climb, to get to Terrapin Counting stars by candlelight, all are dim but one is bright; The spiral light of Venus, rising first and shining best On, from the northwest corner, of a brand new crescent moon While crickets and cicadas sing, a rare and different tune Terrapin Station In the shadow of the moon, Terrapin Station And I know well get there soon, Terrapin Station I cant figure out, Terrapin, if its the end or beginning, Terrapin But the trains put its brakes on, Terrapin And the whistle is screaming, TERRAPIN Terrapin Station - At the Siding While you were gone, these faces filled with darkness The obvious was hidden. With nothing to believe in The compass always points to Terrapin Sullen wings of fortune beat like rain Youre back in Terrapin for good or ill again, for good or ill again

As I was walking round Grosvenor Square Not a chill to the winter But a nip to the air From the other direction She was calling my eye It could be an illusion But I might as well try Might as well try She had rings on her fingers and Bells on her shoes And I knew without asking she was Into the blues She wore scarlet begonias Tucked into her curls I knew right away She was not like other girls Other girls In the thick of the evening When the dealing got rough She was too pat to open And too cool to bluff As I picked up my matches and Was closing the door I had one of those flashes: Id been there before Been there before I aint often right But Ive never been wrong It seldom turns out the way It does in the song Once in a while You get shown the light In the strangest of places If you look at it right Well, there aint nothing wrong With the way she moves Or scarlet begonias or a Touch of the blues And theres nothing wrong with The look thats in her eye I had to learn the hard way To let her pass by Let her pass by The wind in the willows played tea for two The sky was yellow and the sun was blue Strangers stopping strangers Just to shake their hand Everybodys playing In the Heart of Gold Band Heart of Gold Band

Right outside this lazy summer home You aint got time to call your soul a critic, no Right outside the lazy gate of winters summer home Wondering where the nut-thatch winters Wings a mile long just carried the bird away Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world The heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings But the heart has its seasons, its evenings and songs of its own There comes a redeemer, and he slowly too fades away And there follows his wagon behind him thats loaded with clay And the seeds that were silent all burst into bloom, and decay And night comes so quiet, its close on the heels of the day Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world The heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings But the heart has its seasons, its evenings and songs of its own Sometimes we live no particular way but our own And sometimes we visit your country and live in your home Sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world The heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings But the heart has its seasons, its evenings and songs of its own

Hurts my ears to listen, Shannon, it burns my eyes to see Cut down a man in cold blood, Shannon, might as wellve been me We used to play for silver, now we play for life; And ones for sport and ones for blood at the point of a knife And now the die is shaken, now the die must fall There aint a winner in the game, he dont go home with all Not with all Leavin Texas, fourth day of July Sun so hot, the clouds so low, the eagles filled the sky Catch the Detroit Lightning out of Santa Fe The Great Northern out of Cheyenne, from sea to shining sea Gotta go to Tulsa, first train we can ride Gotta settle one old score, one small point of pride Aint a place a man can hide, Shannon, will keep him from the sun Aint a bed can give us rest now, you keep us on the run Jack Straw from Wichita Cut his buddy down Dug for him a shallow grave And laid his body down Half a mile from Tucson By the morning light One man gone and another to go My old buddy, youre moving much too slow We can share the women, we can share the wine
Winter rain, now tell me why Summers fade, and roses die The answer came The wind and rain Golden hills, now veiled in gray Summer leaves have blown away Now what remains? The wind and rain And like a desert spring My lover comes and spreads her wings Like a song thats born to soar the sky Flowing ’till the waters all are dry The loving in her eyes Circle songs and sands of time And seasons will end in tumbled rhyme And little change The wind and rain And like a desert spring My lover comes and spreads her wings Like a song thats born to soar the sky Flowing till the rivers all are dry The loving in her eyes Gonna happen every time Well see summer by and by Summers fade and roses die Like a song thats born to soar the sky Morning comes, she follows the path to the river shore Lightly sung, her song is the latch on the mornings door See the sun sparkle in the reeds, silver beads, pass into the sea She comes from a town where they call her the woodcutters daughter Shes brown as the bank where she kneels down to gather her water And she bears it away with a love that the river has taught her Let it flow, greatly grow, wide and clear! Round and round, the cut of the plow in the furrowed field Seasons round, the bushels of corn and the barley meal Broken ground, open and beckoning to the spring Black dirt live again! The plowman is broad as the back of the land he is sowing As he dances the circular track of the plow ever knowing That the work of his day measures more than the planting and growing Let it grow, let it grow, greatly yield! What shall we say, shall we call it by a name? As well to count the angels dancing on a pin Water bright as the sky from which it came And the name is on the earth that takes it in We will not speak but stand inside the rain And listen to the thunder shout I am! I am! I am! I am! So it goes, we make what we make since the world began Nothing more, the love of the women, the work of men Seasons round, creatures great and small Up and down as we rise and fall What shall we say, shall we call it by a name? As well to count the angels dancing on a pin Water bright as the sky from which it came And the name is on the earth that takes it in We will not speak but stand inside the rain And listen to the thunder shout I am! I am! I am! I am!
Saint Stephen with a rose, in and out of the garden he goes Country garden in the wind and the rain Wherever he goes the people all complain Stephen prospered in his time, well he may and he may decline Did it matter, does it now? Stephen would answer if he only knew how Wishing well with a golden bell, bucket hanging clear to hell Hell halfway twixt now and then Stephen fill it up and lower down and lower down again Lady finger, dipped in moonlight, writing what for? across the morning sky Sunlight splatters, dawn with answer, darkness shrugs and bids the day goodbye Speeding arrow, sharp and narrow What a lot of fleeting matters you have spurned Several seasons with their treasons Wrap the babe in scarlet colors, call it your own Did he doubt or did he try? Answers aplenty in the bye and bye Talk about your plenty, talk about your ills One man gathers what another man spills Saint Stephen will remain, all hes lost he shall regain Seashore washed by the suds and foam Been here so long, hes got to calling it home Fortune comes a crawling, calliope woman, spinning that curious sense of your own Can you answer? Yes I can. But what would be the answer to the answer man?
Well, the ragman, he draws circles, up and down the block Id ask him whats the matter, but I know he dont talk And the ladies they treat me kindly, and they furnish me with tape But deep inside my heart, I, I know I cant escape Oh, mama, can this really be the end? To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again Now, Shakespeare hes in the alley With his pointed shoes and bell Speaking with some French girl, who says she knows me well And I would send a message, to find out if shes talked But the post office has been stolen, and the mailbox is locked Oh, oh mama, can this really be the end? To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again Now, Mona tried to warn me, said stay away from the railroad line She says all the railroad men, they drink up your blood like wine And I said, Oh I didnt know that But then again theres only one Ive met And he just smoked my eyelids, and he punched my cigarette Oh, oh mama, can this really be the end? To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again Grandpa, he died last week, and they buried him in the rocks Now, everyone still talks about how badly they are shocked But me, I expected it to happen, I knew hed lost control When he built a fire on Main Street, and he shot it full of holes Oh, mama, can this really be the end? To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again Now the senator, he came down here, showing everyone his gun Handing out free tickets to the wedding of his son And me, I nearly got busted, and wouldnt it be my luck To get caught without a ticket and be discovered beneath a truck Oh, mama, can this really be the end? To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again Now the preacher, he looks so baffled When I asked him why he dressed With twenty pounds of headlines stapled to his chest But he cursed me when I proved it to him Then I said, See, not even you can hide You see, youre just like me, and I hope youre satisfied Oh, oh mama, can this really be the end? To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again Now the rainman gave me two cures, then he said, Jump right in The first was Texas medicine, the second was just railroad gin But like a fool I mixed them, and it strangled up my mind And now people just get uglier, and Ive got no sense of time Ooh, mama, can this really be the end? To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again And when Ruthie says come see me in a honky-tonk lagoon Where I can watch her waltz for free, neath her Panamanian moon And I said, Oh come on now, you know about my debutante And she says, Your debutante knows just what you need But I know what you want Oh, mama, can this really be the end? To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again The bricks, they lay on Grand Street, where the neon madmen climb They all fall there so perfectly, it all seems so well timed And here I sit so patiently, waiting to find out what price You have to pay to get out of Going through all of these things twice, twice Oh mama, can this really be the end? To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again Oh, mama, can this really be the end? To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again

Look out of any window Any morning, any evening, any day Maybe the sun is shining Birds are winging or Rain is falling from a heavy sky What do you want me to do To do for you to see you through? This is all a dream we dreamed One afternoon, long ago Walk out of any doorway Feel your way, feel your way Like the day before Maybe youll find direction Around some corner Where its been waiting to meet you What do you want me to do To watch for you while you are sleeping? Well please dont be surprised When you find me dreaming, too Look into any eyes You find by you, you can see Clear through to another day Maybe its been seen before Through other eyes on other days While going home What do you want me to do To do for you to see you through? Its all a dream we dreamed One afternoon long ago Walk into splintered sunlight Inch your way through dead dreams To another land Maybe youre tired and broken Your tongue is twisted With words half spoken And thoughts unclear What do you want me to do To do for you to see you through? A box of rain will ease the pain And love will see you through Just a box of rain Wind and water Believe it if you need it If you dont just pass it on Sun and shower, wind and rain In and out the window Like a moth before a flame Its just a box of rain I dont know who put it there Believe it if you need it Or leave it if you dare But its just a box of rain, or a ribbon for your hair; Such a long long time to be gone And a short time to be there

The other day they waited The sky was dark and faded Solemnly they stated He has to die You know he has to die And all the children learning From books that they were burning Every leaf was turning To watch him die You know he has to die The summer sun looked down on him His mother could but frown on him And all the other sound on him But it doesnt seem to matter And when the day had ended With rainbow colors blended His mind remained unbended He had to die You know he had to die Spanish lady come to me She lays on me this rose It rainbow spirals round and round It trembles and explodes It left a smoking crater of my mind I like to blow away But the heat came ‘round and busted me For smiling on a cloudy day Coming, coming, coming around Coming around in a circle Coming , coming , coming around Coming around in a circle Escaping through the lily fields I came across an empty space It trembled and exploded Left a bus stop in its place The bus came by and I got on Thats when it all began There was cowboy Neal at the wheel Of a bus to never-ever land Coming, coming, coming around Coming around in a circle Coming , coming , coming around Coming around in a circle And when the day had ended With rainbow colors blended His mind remained unbended He had to die You know he had to die He had to die You know he had to die He had to die Well, you know he had to die
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso I fell in love with a Mexican girl Night time would find me in Rosas Cantina Music would play and Felina would whirl Black as the night were the eyes of Felina Wicked and evil while casting a spell My love was strong for this Mexican maiden I was in love, but in vain I could tell One night a wild young cowboy came in Wild as the West Texas wind Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing With wicked Felina, the girl that I love So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden Down went his hand for the gun that he wore My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor Just for a moment I stood there in silence Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done Many thoughts ran through my mind as I stood there I had but one chance and that was to run Out through the back door of Rosas I ran Out where the horses were tied I picked a good one, it looked like it could run Up on his back and away I did ride Just as fast as I Could from the West Texas town of El Paso Out through the badlands of New Mexico Back in El Paso my life would be worthless Everythings gone in life, nothing is left Its been so long since Ive seen the young maiden My love is stronger than my fear of death I saddled up and away I did go, riding alone in the dark Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me Tonight nothings worse than this pain in my heart And at last here I Am on the hill overlooking El Paso I can see Rosas Cantina below My love is strong and it pushes me onward Down off the hill to Felina I go Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys Off to my left ride a dozen or more Shouting and shooting, I cant let them catch me Ive got to make it to Rosas back door Something is dreadfully wrong, for I feel A deep burning pain in my side Its getting harder to stay in the saddle Im getting weary, unable to ride But my love for Felina is strong And I writhe where Ive fallen Though I am weary, I cant stop to rest I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle I feel the bullet go deep in my chest From out of nowhere, Felina has found me Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side Cradled by two loving arms that Ill die for One little kiss and Felina Goodbye

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung Would you hear my voice come through the music? Would you hold it near as it were your own? Its a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken Perhaps theyre better left unsung I dont know, dont really care Let there be songs to fill the air Ripple in still water When there is no pebble tossed Nor wind to blow Reach out your hand, if your cup be empty If your cup is full, may it be again Let it be known there is a fountain That was not made by the hands of men There is a road, no simple highway Between the dawn and the dark of night And if you go, no one may follow That path is for your steps alone Ripple in still water When there is no pebble tossed Nor wind to blow You who choose to lead must follow But if you fall you fall alone If you should stand then whos to guide you? If I knew the way I would take you home
