Title
- When you're weary, feeling small,
- When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
- I'm on your side. When times get rough
- And friends just can't be found,
- Like a bridge over troubled water
- I will lay me down.
- Like a bridge over troubled water
- I will lay me down.
- When you're down and out,
- When you're on the street,
- When evening falls so hard
- I will comfort you.
- I'll take your part.
- When darkness comes
- And pain is all around,
- Like a bridge over troubled water
- I will lay me down.
- Like a bridge over troubled water
- I will lay me down.
- Sail on silvergirl,
- Sail on by.
- Your time has come to shine.
- All your dreams are on their way.
- See how they shine.
- If you need a friend
- I'm sailing right behind.
- Like a bridge over troubled water
- I will ease your mind.
- Like a bridge over troubled water
- I will ease your mind.
- Celia, you're breaking my heart,
- You're shaking my confidence daily.
- Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees,
- I'm begging you please to come home.
- Celia, you're breaking my heart,
- You're shaking my confidence daily.
- Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees,
- I'm begging you please to come home.
- Come on home.
- Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia
- Up in my bedroom,
- I got up to wash my face
- When I come back to bed,
- Someone's taken my place.
- Celia, you're breaking my heart,
- You're shaking my confidence daily.
- Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees,
- I'm begging you please to come home.
- Jubilation,
- She loves me again,
- I fall on the floor and I laughing.
- Jubilation,
- She loves me again,
- I fall on the floor and I laughing.
- Gee but it's great to be back home,
- Home is where I want to be.
- I've been on the road so long my friend,
- And if you came along
- I know you couldn't disagree.
- It's the same old story
- Everywhere I go,
- I get slandered,
- Libeled,
- I hear words I never heard
- In the Bible.
- And I'm one step ahead of the shoe
- shine,
- Two steps away from the county line,
- Just trying to keep my customers
- satisfied,
- Satisfied.
- Deputy Sheriff said to me
- Tell me what you come here for, boy.
- You better get your bags and flee.
- You're in trouble boy,
- And now you're heading into more.
- It's the same old story
- Everywhere I go,
- I get slandered,
- Libeled,
- I hear words I never heard
- In the Bible.
- And I'm one step ahead of the shoeshine.
- So long, Frank Lloyd Wright.
- I can't believe your song is gone so soon.
- I barely learned the tune
- So soon
- So soon.
- I'll remember Frank Lloyd Wright.
- All of the nights we'd harmonize till dawn.
- I never laughed so long
- So long.
- So long.
- Architects may come and
- Architects may go and
- Never change your point of view.
- When I run dry
- I stop awhile and think of you.
- Architects may come and
- Architects may go and
- Never change your point of view.
- So long, Frank Lloyd Wright,
- All of the nights we'd harmonize till dawn.
- I never laughed so long
- So long
- So long.
- I am just a poor boy.
- Though my story's seldom told,
- I have squandered my resistance
- For a pocketful of mumbles,
- Such are promises
- All lies and jest
- Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
- And disregards the rest.
- When I left my home
- And my family,
- I was no more than a boy
- In the company of strangers
- In the quiet of the railway station,
- Running scared,
- Laying low,
- Seeking out the poorer quarters
- Where the ragged people go,
- Looking for the places
- Only they would know.
- Lie-la-lie...
- Asking only workman's wages
- I come looking for a job,
- But I get no offers,
- Just a come-on from the whores
- On Seventh Avenue
- I do declare,
- There were times when I was so
- lonesome
- I took some comfort there.
- Lie-la-lie...
- Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
- And wishing I was gone,
- Going home
- Where the New York City winters
- Aren't bleeding me,
- Leading me,
- Going home.
- In the clearing stands a boxer,
- And a fighter by his trade
- And he carries the reminders
- Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
- And cut him till he cried out
- In his anger and his shame,
- "I am leaving, I am leaving."
- But the fighter still remains
- Lie-la-lie...
- My daddy was the family bassman
- My mamma was an engineer
- And I was born one dark gray morn
- With music coming in my ears
- In my ears.
- They call me Baby Driver
- And once upon a pair of wheels
- Hit the road and I'm gone ah
- What's my number
- I wonder how your engine feels.
- Ba ba ba ba
- Scoot down the road
- What's my number
- I wonder how your engine feels.
- My daddy was a prominent frogman
- My mamma's in the Naval reserve
- When I was young I carried a gun
- But I never got the chance to serve
- I did not serve.
- They call me Baby Driver
- And once upon a pair of wheels
- Hit the road and I'm gone ah
- What's my number
- I wonder how your engine feels.
- Ba ba ba ba
- Scoot down the road
- What's my number
- I wonder how your engine feels.
- My daddy got a big promotion
- My mamma got a raise in pay
- There's no-one home, we're all alone
- Oh come into my room and play
- Yes we can play.
- I'm not talking about your pigtails
- But I'm talking 'bout your sex appeal
- Hit the road and I'm gone ah
- What's my number
- I wonder how your engine feels.
- Ba ba ba ba
- Scoot down the road
- What's my number
- I wonder how your engine feels.
- Tom, get your plane right on time.
- I know your part'll go fine.
- Fly down to Mexico.
- Da-n-da-da-n-da-n-da-da and here I am,
- The only living boy in New York.
- I get the news I need on the weather report.
- I can gather all the news I need on the weather report.
- Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile.
- Da-n-do-da-n-do-da-n-do here I am,
- The only living boy in New York.
- Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where,
- And we don't know where.
- Tom, get your plane right on time.
- I know that you've been eager to fly now.
- Hey let your honesty shine, shine, shine
- Da-n-da-da-n-da-n-da-da
- Like it shines on me.
- The only living boy in New York,
- The only living boy in New York.
- Why don't you write me,
- I'm out in the jungle,
- I'm hungry to hear you.
- Send me a card,
- I am waiting so hard
- To be near you.
- (La, la, la)
- Why don't you write?
- Something is wrong
- And I know I got to be there.
- Maybe I'm lost,
- But I can't make the cost
- Of the airfare.
- Tell me why
- Why
- Why
- Tell me why
- Why
- Why
- Why don't you write me,
- A letter would brighten
- My loneliest evening.
- Mail it today
- If it's only to say
- That you're leaving me.
- (La, la, la)
- Monday morning, sitting in the sun
- Hoping and wishing for the mail to come.
- Tuesday, never got a word,
- Wednesday, Thursday, ain't no sign,
- Drank a half a bottle of iodine.
- Friday, woe is me
- Gonna hang my body from the highest
- tree.
- Why don't you write me?
- [Chorus:]
- Bye bye love
- Bye bye happiness
- Hello loneliness
- I think I'm gonna cry
- Bye bye love
- Bye bye sweet caress
- Hello emptiness
- I feel like I could die
- Bye bye my love, goodbye
- There goes my baby
- With someone new
- She sure looks happy
- I sure am blue
- She was my baby
- Till he stepped in
- Goodbye to romance
- That might have been
- [Chorus]
- I'm through with romance
- I'm through with love
- I'm through with counting
- The stars above
- And here's the reason
- That I'm so free
- My loving baby
- Is through with me
- [Chorus]
- Two steps away from the county line,
- Just trying to keep my customers
- satisfied,
- Satisfied.
- It's the same old story
- Everywhere I go,
- I get slandered,
- Libeled.
- I hear words I never heard
- In the Bible.
- And I'm so tired,
- I'm oh so tired,
- But I'm trying to keep my customers
- satisfied,
- Satisfied.
- Here is my song for the asking
- Ask me and I will play
- So sweetly, I'll make you smile
- This is my tune for the taking
- Take it, don't turn away
- I've been waiting all my life
- Thinking it over, I've been sad
- Thinking it over, I'd be more than glad
- To change my ways for the asking
- Ask me and I will play
- All the love that I hold inside
