We walked together often
On our usual street
While under the moonlight
A sorrowful melody
I didn’t want to show such a face
But it’s because I just like you
I made you sad
The tears that day
I want to see you but
No matter how I try I can’t get
my feelings across
If my overflowing words could reach you
I want to sing out my thoughts of you
I want to see you but
No matter how I try I can’t get
my feelings across
Tonight too I am only thinking of one thing
I am still loving you
To meet would be just selfish
When I sometimes talked too much
You just smiled and forgave me
Just like an adult
When you were lonely I thought
If I could recognize it
If I reached softly with my hand
Your warmth and after this
would we be together?
I want to see you but
No matter how I try I can’t get
my feelings across
If my overflowing words could reach you
I want to sing out my thoughts of you
If I could return to that day
All these would be no more
Tonight too I am only thinking of one thing
I am still loving you
My feelings that can’t be put into words
I want to convey them through this song
If my overflowing words could reach you
I want to sing out my thoughts of you
Tonight too I’m looking at the sky
Towards where the moon is shining
I want to walk there with my important person
Forever, forever I want to be beside you
Please don’t let go of my hand

Living in the meadow, the mighty, mighty meadow
With too many people sucking all the water
And my daddy was a farmer, he was a race car driver
He is a four-leaf clover, he is the next messiah
Now he’s living the woods, the dark and dank woods
With a cocktail waitress who thinks she‘s an artist
Take her down to the river, split her right up the middle
Now it’s going to be trouble for a pregnant lamb and con man
Got sick the clink, dye his hair in the sink
And the tumor going to make a man out of him
Now my daddy was a chancer, he was bad check bouncer
But he beat that cancer, he is a survivor, he is the next messiah
Carving it up, squeezing it off, watching it bleed
Washing it off, taking it back, she’s down on her knees
When did she come to detest you?
Giving it back, backing you up, nothing's for free
You’re giving it back, for locking you up, those terrible deeds
When will they come to arrest you?
When did she come to detest you?
When will they come to arrest you?
When did she come to detest you?
I’m going to give my love to you one day
YOU GOT TO BRING IT BACK
I’m going to give my love to you one day
YOU GOT TO BRING IT BACK
I want to tell you, "Love you"
Well, I’m going to go out for a walk
YOU BETTER BE HERE WHEN I GET BACK
Well I’m going to give my love to you one day
YOU GOT TO BRING IT BACK
I want to tell you I love you
Have you seen the little pieces of the people we have been?
Little pieces blowing’ gently on the wind
They have flown down California
They have landed in L.A.
Little pieces slowly settling on the waves
I’m one of a million pieces fallen on the ground
It’s one of the reasons when we say goodbye
We’ll still come around We will come around
I have waited for tomorrow from December ‘til today
I have started loving sorrow along the way
I am calling from some city
And I won’t be there too long
I could wait and I could waste away
But what comes back is I hear you say we’re gone
For all of the times that I go spinning up and down
When all of the things have died between us
Well, we’ll still come around We will come around
After I’ve been missing for a while
And you hear that summer’s song
Haven’t all the fading lines lingered on?
What I know is: she’s going
When you know it, it’s alright
So you put yourself between you and your pride
If you wait for what’s coming
And you listen to her lies,
Then she’ll say the things you need to hear
And the only one who’ll disappear is you
And one of the million lies she said
Is “All of the things you love are dead.”
But I’ve seen what she thinks is love
And it leaves me laughing so we’ll still come around
As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden
The wounded flowers were dangling from the vine
I was passing by yon cool crystal fountain
Someone hit me from behind
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Through this weary world of woe
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
No one on earth would ever know
They say prayer has the power to heal
So pray from the mother
In the human heart an evil spirit can dwell
I am a-tryin' to love my neighbor and do good unto others
But oh, mother, things ain't going well
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
I'll burn that bridge before you can cross
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
There'll be no mercy for you once you've lost
Now I'm all worn down by weeping
My eyes are filled with tears, my lips are dry
If I catch my opponents ever sleeping
I'll just slaughter 'em where they lie
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Through the world mysterious and vague
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Walkin' through the cities of the plague.
Well, the whole world is filled with speculation
The whole wide world which people say is round
They will tear your mind away from contemplation
They will jump on your misfortune when you're down
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Eatin' hog eyed grease in a hog eyed town.
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Some day you'll be glad to have me around.
They will crush you with wealth and power
Every waking moment you could crack
I'll make the most of one last extra hour
I'll revenge my father's death then I'll step back
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Hand me down my walkin' cane.
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Got to get you out of my miserable brain.
All my loyal and my much-loved companions
They approve of me and share my code
I practice a faith that's been long abandoned
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
My mule is sick, my horse is blind.
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Thinkin' 'bout that gal I left behind.
Well, it's bright in the heavens and the wheels are flyin'
Fame and honor never seem to fade
The fire gone out but the light is never dyin'
Who says I can't get heavenly aid?
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Carryin' a dead man's shield
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Walkin' with a toothache in my heel
The sufferin' is unending
Every nook and cranny has its tears
I'm not playing, I'm not pretending
I'm not nursin' any superfluous fears
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Walkin' ever since the other night.
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Walkin' 'til I'm clean out of sight.
As I walked out in the mystic garden
On a hot summer day, a hot summer lawn
Excuse me, ma'am, I beg your pardon
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Up the road, around the bend.
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
In the last outback at the world's end.
Come back honest James
Come back to your town
Take your shadow's mistress
From our fertile ground.
Never one to cry out
But it's gone on too long
Every song is empty
Without your ???
Come back honest James
Your brother he is here
He rode into the darkness
and he needs you to be near.
Why don't you just tell him
what's inside your heart
Let love take over
you know the devil just ain't that smart
And I'll always love him
And I'll always love him
And I'll always love him
And I'll always love him
I thought I saw you yesterday but I didn't stop cuz you was walkin' the opposite way.
I guess I coulda' shouted out your name but even if it was you I don't know what I would say.
We could sit and reminesce about the old school. Maybe share a cigarette cuz were both fools. Chop it up and compare perspectives.
Life, love, stress and setbacks yes.
You could tell me how hard you had it. And you can show me all the scars to back it. And we can analyze each complaint. Break it down and explain these mistakes I make.
I like to tangle up the strings of the puppetry but you knew me back when I was a younger me.
You've seen Shawn in all types of light and I've been meanin' to ask you if I'm doin' alright.
Yesterday was that you? Looked just like you. Strange things my imagination might do.
Take a breathe, reflect on what we've been through or am I goin' crazy cuz I miss you?

I'm shook, I know. I pushed when I shoulda' pulled. Took it all back if I could. I put that on my soul.
And I would make a top-notch good listener and keep the block off a little time to give it here.
Since we went our seperate paths I've hit a couple of snags that remind me of the past. I can't front, I'm having a blast. But damned if I ain't afraid of how long it's gonna last. Sittin' here wishin' we could kick it. Givin' me your opinions. I do miss the criticisms.
I didn't mean to be distant. Make a visit. I wait up and keep the coffee brewin' in the kitchen.
But who am I jokin' with? There's no way that you and I will ever get to re-open it.
It doesn't matter this is more than love and maybe if I'm lucky get to see you out the corner of...

And when you left I didn't see it coming. I guess I slept. It ain't like you was runnin. You crept out the front door slow and I was so self absorbed I didn't even know. And by the time I looked up it was booked up. Put it all behind you the bad and the good stuff.
A whole house full of dreams and steps. I think you'd be impressed with the pieces I kept. You disappeared but the history is still here. That's why I try not to cry over spilled beer. I can't even get mad that you gone. Leavin' me was probably the best thing you ever taught me.
I'm sorry.
It's official.
I was a fist-full.
I didn't keep it simple.
Chip on the shoulder. Anger in my veins. Has so much hatred now it brings me shame. Never thought about the world without you and I promise that I'll never say another bad word about you.
I thought I saw you yesterday....
Got my window open wide
Got my window open wide
Got a good woman by my side
Got a good woman by my side
Now this kind of day
Has no night
Yeah
This kind of day
Has no night
Ain't got much on my mind
Ain't got much on my mind
'Cause I know
Something good this way comes
Now watching the streets
Filling up
Watching the streets filling up
In the shade of the summer sun
In the shade of the summer sun
Got sweet apple pie on the stove
Got sweet apple pie on the stove
The birds they're all flyin' low
The birds they're all flyin' low
'Cause they know
Something good this way comes
The trouble, doll
Is not moving mountains, but
Digging the ground that you're on
If it's true
That good fortune gives no chase
We got just what it takes
Collar up on my coat
Collar up on my coat
Trucks are pullin'
In for the show
Trucks are pullin'
In for the show
Grasshopper jump in the road
Grasshopper jump in the road
Kids they're all running home
The kids
They're all running home
'Cause they know
Something good this way comes
Yeah
Something good this way comes
The trouble, doll
Is not moving mountains, but
Digging the ground
That you're on
If it's true
That good fortune
Gives no chase
We got just what it takes
Got my window open wide
Got my window open wide
Got a good woman by my side
Got a good woman by my side
'Cause I know
Something good this way comes
Yeah
Something good this way comes
Yeah
Something good this way comes
Mmmm, mmm, mmmm
No more going to the dark side
With your flying saucer eyes
No more falling down a wormhole
That I have to pull you out
The wriggling, twiggling worm inside
Devours from the inside out
No more talk about the old days
It's time for something great
Want you to get out
And make it work
So many allies, so many allies
So many allies, so many allies
So feel the love come off of them
And take me in your arms
Peel all of your layers off
I want to eat your artichoke heart
No more leaky holes in your brain
And no false starts
I wanna get out
And make it work
So many allies, so many allies
So many allies, so many allies
So feel the love come off of them
And take me in your arms
I wanna get out
And make it work
Want you to get out
And make it work
I'll be ok
There is a fine line
Between recklessness and courage
It's about time
You understood which road to take
It's a fine line
When your decision makes a difference
Get it wrong, you'll be making a big mistake
Chorus:
Come home brother
All is forgiven
We all cried when you were driven away
Come home brother
Everything is better
Everything is better
When you come home and stay
Whatever's more important to you
You've got to choose what you want to do
Whatever's more important to be
That's the view that you've got to see
There is a long way
Between chaos and creation
If you don't say
Which one of these you're gonna choose
It's a long way
And in every contradiction
Seems to say
It's a game you are bound to lose
Come on back, come on back
Come on back to me
It's a fine line
It's a fine line
Whatever's more important to you
It's a fine line
You've got to choose what you want to do
It's a fine line
Whatever's more important to be
It's a fine line
Well, that's the view that you've got to see
It's a fine line
It's a fine line
It's a fine line
It's a fine line
It's a fine line
It's a fine line
If I keep holding out
Will the light shine through?
Under this broken roof
It's only rain that I feel
I've been wishin' out the days
Oh oh oh
Come back
I have been planning out
All that I'd say to you
Since you slipped away
Know that I still remain true
I've been wishin' out the days
Please say that if you hadn't have gone now
I wouldn't have lost you another way
From wherever you are
Oh oh oh oh
Come back
And these days, they linger on, yeah, yeah
And in the night, I've been waiting for
A real possibility that I may meet you in my dreams
I go to sleep
If I don't fall apart
Will my memory stay clear?
So you had to go
And I had to remain here
But the strangest thing to date
So far away and yet you feel so close
I'm not going to question it any other way
It must be an open door for you
To come back
And the days they linger on, yeah
Every night I'm waiting for
The real possibility that I may meet you in my dreams
Sometimes you're there and you're talking back to me
Come the morning I could swear you're next to me
And it's ok
It's ok, it's ok
I'll be here
Come back, come back
I'll be here
Come back, come back
I'll be here
Come back, come back
Oooooooo
Oooooooo
Oooooooo
Oooooooo

If you tell me so

'Cause you oughta know
That kicking is hard
But the bottom's harder
So I'm taking your card
But I cannot get my head around it, baby
I cannot get my head around it, baby
'Cause that's just not the way
You make me feel
I want to believe
But baby, I'm dry
I want to believe
But you testify
And I'll pour the drinks
Like a true believer
Whose God never blinks
But I cannot get my head around it, baby
I cannot get my head around it, baby
'Cause that's just not the way
You make me feel
No, that's just not the way
You make me feel
No, that's just not the way
You make me feel
Like, way more real than real
The world inside the glass
That struggles to conceal
The wreckage on the overpass
And I cannot get my head
I cannot get my head
I cannot get my head around it, baby
'Cause that's just not the way
You make me feel
No, that's just not the way
You make me feel
No, that's just not the way
You make me feel
Take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can
I'll cross the sky for your love
For I have promised
Oh, to be with you tonight
And for the time that will come
Take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can
I'll cross the sky for your love
And I understand
These winds and tides
This change of times
Won't drag you away
Hold on, and hold on tightly
Hold on, and don't let go of my love
The storms will pass (the storm will pass)
It won't be long now (it won't be long now)
His love will last
His love will last, forever
Take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can
I'll cross the sky for your love
Give you what I hold dear
Hold on, hold on tightly
Hold on, hold on tightly
Rise up, rise up
With wings like eagles
You run, you run
You run and not grow weary
(Take my hand, take my hand)
Hold on, and hold on tightly
Hold on, hold on tightly
To this love, last forever
To this love, last forever
Take my hand
Take my hand
