Charade

Some nights we made our love in the sand

And at the tide we held our love in our hands

And we listened to music the ocean was playing

The words that our two hearts were saying

That only two lovers can make

Let us ride on the wind while this moment is real

 

Your the light of my life

You are welcome to my Charade

And this felling knowing you blessed me forever

 

And believing I have been touch by your love

And the pleasure of knowing the evening won't tare us apart

 

We can follow the sun to the day light is gone

We can gaze up the sky till the night is over

 

Light of my life

You are welcome to my Charade

And this felling knowing you blessed me forever

 

We can follow the sun to the day light is gone

We can gaze at the sky till the night is over

 

Light of my life

You are welcome to my Charade

 

And this feeling knowing you blassed me forever

We can follow the sun to the day light is gone

We can gaze at the sky till the night is over

Light of my life

You are welcome to my Charade..........

 

 

Throw A Penny

Little child , I have found

If I stood up and looked around

I'd see a brand new face staring right back at me

I believe , I am sure

That I'm taller then I was before

Building a brand new bridge into sincerity

But it's the times like this , we must learn to grow

 

Throw a penny for my children , they are going down

When the light shines down much brighter , many souls are found

And can't believe what they're saying in the overground

Throw a penny for my children going down

 

Listen to the wise man as he breathes

He's really loving me (loving me)

He must be loving me (loving me)

At night I turn my face into the wind

And I whisper secretly , what means the most to me

And bring him close

 

Make it bad , make it good

Make it easy to be understood

I see a velvet day breaking across the sky

I believe , I am sure

I am taller then I was before

Building a brand new bridge

I know I'm gonna try

But it's the times like this , we must find out why

 

Throw a penny for my children they are going down

When the light shines down much brighter , many souls are found

And I can't believe what they're saying in the overground

Throw a penny for my children going down

 

Throw a penny for my children , for my children going down

Throw a penny for my children , for my children going down

Throw a penny for my children , for my children going down

Throw a penny for my children , for my children going down (fade)

 

  

Down The Road

I don't need anybody . I don't need anyone.

Take it nice and easy mama , chicken on the run and I don't care.

I'd show my body anywhere.

Ain't no big city winner's gonna pass my buck anywhere.

Ain't no four leaf clover's gonna settle my luck and I don't care.

 

Go down to the courthouse and I've been on display.

Don't you think that I don't know

it ain't been a perfect day , but I don't care.

I'd sell my body anywhere.

In the name of creation , I can't find an explanation anywhere.

Ain't no easy rider gonna settle my luck and I don't care

 

Down , down the road , up the road

Down , down the road , up the road

 

Been rejuvenated to the highest degree.

Ain't no words describing what this feeling's done to me and I don't care.

I'd show my feelings anywhere.

Ain't no heavy Mister Leather's gonna paddle my butt anywhere

Ain't no four leaf clover's gonna settle my luck and I don't care.

 

Down , down the road , up the road

Down , down the road , up the road

 

(break)

 

Down, down the road , up the road (sing 5 times)

 

   

Voices

Sweet voices calling wild, echoing around this child

Sweet Faith I'll be joining you, when my story's over

Dee doo doo doo dah dee doo doo

doo doo doo dee doo doo doo dee doo dah day

 

Small secrets in the wind, blowing till the end begins

Oh my children stand by me till my story's over

Dee doo doo doo dah dee doo doo

doo doo doo dee doo doo doo dee doo dah day

 

If I were you and you were me those voices they would cease to be

They won't be free to torment me again

But in my bed again last night, those voices spoke of wrong and right

They spoke of darkness and of light

They spoke of weakness and of might

The spoke of people in the snow

And distant places long ago

The spoke of fire and falling rain

Of health and wealth and death and pain

 

Nah....

 

Sweet voices calling wild , echoing around this child

La la .....

 

  

Give A Hand , Take A Hand

I wish the world was run by all the little children

We could be happy once again

We won't hurt when we're like little children

And we won't ever feel the pain

 

Now when my fight for life on earth is over

And I leave 'cause I can't stay

All my love belongs to you hereafter

And we'll all join hand another day

 

Ev'rybody's got to give a hand

Ev'rybody's got to take a hand

Ev'rybody's got t fall in love , yeah

To make ev'rybody understand

Ev'rybody's got to give , take a hand

 

I love you , yes I do

I told you a million times now

Now do you believe the words I say

All my life belongs to you hereafter

And we'll all join hands another day

 

Ev'rybody's got to give a hand

Ev'rybody's got to take a hand

Ev'rybody's got to fall in love , yeah

To make ev'rybody understand

Ev'rybody's got to give , take a hand

 

Ev'rybody's got to give a hand

Ev'rybody's got to take a hand

Ev'rybody's got to fall in love , yeah

To make ev'rybody understand

Ev'rybody's got to give, take a hand

 

 

Dogs

I was hungry and I was cold , had a father far too old

Couldn't make it to the place he'd like to be

In a treetrunk in the park , he was living in the dark

Keeping other dogs like him for company

 

In the evening I'd go down to a nightclub in the town

Try to get some bread to make another way

Back to the park I'd go , dig him out of the snow

You know he's lived a thousand years day to day

 

Well , the days get shorter and the nights get longer

And you never learn to know

If you love one another , could you look at each other

Could it ever really show

And at this moment in time you couldn't make up your mind

Now could you ever understand

Are you following me just like Moses to the sea

Do you think I'll give you freedom in the end

When I'm long dead and gone will your love for me go on

Will I be the one you run to in the end

And all my dogs need a friend

 

It was a quarter to three in the summer of '73

When I heard somebody call outside my door

Said "Are you friend or are you foe"

He looked up and he said "no, but I'd like to come inside and know you more"

 

Well the days get shorter and the nights get longer

And you never learn to know

If you love one another , could you look at each other

Could it ever really show

And at this moment in time you couldn't make up your mind

Now could you ever understand

Are you following me just like Moses to the sea

Do you think I'll give you freedom in the end

When I'm long dead and gone will your love for me go on

Will I be the one you run to in the end

And all my dogs need a friend

 

Need a friend

Need a friend

 

 

Mr. Natural

Burning embers.

I still remember all of those little things.

But I don't feel it so much 'cause I am so out of touch

with my heart and it won't sing.

Rusty rainbows.

That's how the pain goes , turning me inside out .

Well , I come home at night and you are out of my sight.

Yes. I'm dying and there ain't no doubt.

Well, I'm dying and there's no way out.

 

Well I try try try try try

Mr. Natural (come on baby)

When I walk in the rain you won't know that I'm crying.

A smile on my face and I'm trying.

I'm trying to understand that a love that is lost can never be found again.

And you see me dance , I look like a happy man .

 

Just when I think I'm getting it over, an old friend I should see.

He said he knew you well , and baby I could tell .

You know he knew you more then me.

I went home laughing and inside I'm crying .

We had a special thing .

You know I loved you so much , but girl I'm so out of touch

with my heart and it won't sing .

You know my heart just won't sing.

 

Well I try try try try try .

Mr. Natural ( come on baby)

When I walk in the rain you won't know that I'm crying.

A smile on my face and I'm trying.

I'm trying to understand that a love that is lost can never be found again.

And you see me dance , I look like a happy man.

 

Still I try try try try try .

Mr. Natural ( come on baby)

Well I try try try try try

Mr. Natural (come on baby)

(repeat verse and fade out)

 

  

Lost In Your Love

I was lost in your love

I was held by your heart

And no secrets stood between us anymore

I'm like a child learning pain

I was held by your chains

And my darling , I was lost in your love

 

There's been a diff'rence of opinion to the way I've been treating you

But you know that I've tried to apologize,

for all the bad times I've put you through

On the chance that I could make you mine

There's not a thing I would not do

And wrong or right I'll be with you and lost in your love

 

I was lost in your love

I was held by your heart

And no secrets stood between us anymore

I'm like a child learning pain

I was held by your chains

And my darling , I was lost in your love

 

Now I will follow you where the wild bird flies

Through endless skies I will go

So I can be so near you girl and all of this you gotta know

That when I get you here inside my arms

I never ever ever will let you go

And wrong or right I'll be with you and lost in your love

 

I was lost in your love

I was held by your heart

And no secrets stood between us anymore

I'm like a child learning pain

I was held by your chains

And my darling I was lost in your love

 

 

I Can't Let You Go

Do you love me women , truly do ya?

Can you feel this feeling going through ya?

Are you of the mind that we should live together through this night?

Or tell me you're my virgin queen and it may not be right.

 

But don't make me say , I can't let you go

And it's breaking me down

Just thinking of your face and it won't be around

Just look at me now

I feel a stranger inside , stealing my pride

I can't let you go

And it's breaking me down 'cause you won't be around

 

When all this world of ours is falling apart

I'll keep on hanging on and fixing my heart

'Cause ev'ryone is just like me they're praying in the sun

And I may be that lucky man surviving when they're gone

 

But don't make me say , I can't let you go

And it's breaking me down

Just thinking of your face and it won't be around

Just look at me now

I feel a stranger inside , stealing my pride

I can't let you go

And it's breaking me down 'cause you won't be around

Just look at me now

I feel a stranger inside , stealing my pride

I can't let you , can't let you go

And it's breaking my down 'cause you won't be around

 

Just look at me now , I can't let you go

Just look at me now , I can't let you go

Just look at me now , I can't let you go

Just look at me now , I can't let you go (fade out)

 

 

Heavy Breathing

Well, this is my last connection , I been slowing up the line.

Ain't no satisfaction in this troubled head of mine.

Gotta get back to the highway , gonna get back to where I know.

'cause sooner or later there's gonna be a showdown ,

Gotta go man, gotta go.

 

Hell, I'm so so tired , so so tired.

And I don't know where I'm gonna start.

It's only heavy breathing in the dark.

 

Ain't nobody's sweetheart, ain't nobody's fool.

And if the sun don't set on my house babe,

I'd be the last man to blow my cool.

I feel my body shake.

Well, there's so much left to say.

Spend my life anticipatin'.

Gonna find a way.

 

Hey, I'm so so tired , so so tired.

And I don't know where I'm gonna start.

It's only heavy breathing in the dark.

 

(break)

 

So so tired.

So so tired.

And I don't know where I'm gonna start.

Only heavy breathing in the dark.

Only heavy breathing in the dark.

It's only heavy breathing in the dark.

 

Well, I don't believe in ev'rything you say just to save my soul.

You know there's got to be a way better than a big black hole.

Gotta take me from my suicide.

Now you know it's love I crave.

You know we got to live like this from the cradle to the grave.

 

So so so so tired.

So so so so tired.

I'm so so so so tired.

 

(repeat last verse and fade )

 

 

Had A Lot Of Love Last Night

Ah, I had a lot of love last night

Ah...

Ah, I had a lot of love last night

Ah..

Ah...

 

I've given all my love away and I've been left with none

But can you say that I'm to blame for loving anyone

I used to think that I was always older then my time

We're all breaking promises , who will cry this time

We're all breaking promises , who will cry this time

 

Ah, I had a lot of love last night

(had a lot a lot of love)

Ah.....

Ah , I had a lot of love last night

(had a lot a lot of love)

Ah...

 

I'm casting all my dreams hereto , my fish have gone to sea

And fate no longer has the faith to walk ahead of me

I always used to think that I was better then my kind

We're all breaking promises , who will cry this time

We're all breaking promises , who will cry this time

 

Ah , I had a lot of love last night (had a lot a lot of love)

Ah , I had a lot of love last night
