Title
- Be on my side,
- I'll be on your side,
- baby
- There is no reason
- for you to hide
- It's so hard for me
- staying here all alone
- When you could be
- taking me for a ride.
- Yeah, she could drag me
- over the rainbow,
- send me away
- Down by the river
- I shot my baby
- Down by the river,
- Dead, oh, shot her dead.
- You take my hand,
- I'll take your hand
- Together we may get away
- This much madness
- is too much sorrow
- It's impossible
- to make it today.
- Yeah, she could drag me
- over the rainbow,
- send me away
- Down by the river
- I shot my baby
- Down by the river,
- Dead, oh, shot her dead.
- Be on my side,
- I'll be on your side,
- baby
- There is no reason
- for you to hide
- It's so hard for me
- staying here all alone
- When you could be
- taking me for a ride.
- Yeah, she could drag me
- over the rainbow,
- send me away
- Down by the river
- I shot my baby
- Down by the river,
- Dead, oh, shot her dead.
- Hello cowgirl in the sand
- Is this place
- at your command
- Can I stay here
- for a while
- Can I see your
- sweet sweet smile
- Old enough now
- to change your name
- When so many love you
- is it the same?
- It's the woman in you
- that makes you want
- to play this game.
- Hello ruby in the dust
- Has your band
- begun to rust
- After all
- the sin we've had
- I was hopin' that
- we'd turn back
- Old enough now
- to change your name
- When so many love you
- is it the same
- It's the woman in you
- that makes you want
- to play this game.
- Hello woman of my dreams
- This is not
- the way it seems
- Purple words
- on a grey background
- To be a woman
- and to be turned down
- Old enough now
- to change your name
- When so many love you
- is it the same
- It's the woman in you
- that makes you want
- to play this game.
- I wanna live
- with a cinnamon girl
- I could be happy
- the rest of my life
- With a cinnamon girl.
- A dreamer of pictures
- I run in the night
- You see us together,
- chasing the moonlight,
- My cinnamon girl.
- Ten silver saxes,
- a bass with a bow
- The drummer relaxes
- and waits between shows
- For his cinnamon girl.
- A dreamer of pictures
- I run in the night
- You see us together,
- chasing the moonlight,
- My cinnamon girl.
- Pa sent me money now
- I'm gonna make it somehow
- I need another chance
- You see your baby loves to dance
- Yeah...yeah...yeah.
- There is a town in north Ontario,
- With dream comfort memory to spare,
- And in my mind
- I still need a place to go,
- All my changes were there.
- Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
- Yellow moon on the rise,
- Big birds flying across the sky,
- Throwing shadows on our eyes.
- Leave us
- Helpless, helpless, helpless
- Baby can you hear me now?
- The chains are locked
- and tied across the door,
- Baby, sing with me somehow.
- Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
- Yellow moon on the rise,
- Big birds flying across the sky,
- Throwing shadows on our eyes.
- Leave us
- Helpless, helpless, helpless.
- When you were young
- and on your own
- How did it feel
- to be alone?
- I was always thinking
- of games that I was playing.
- Trying to make
- the best of my time.
- But only love
- can break your heart
- Try to be sure
- right from the start
- Yes only love
- can break your heart
- What if your world
- should fall apart?
- I have a friend
- I've never seen
- He hides his head
- inside a dream
- Someone should call him
- and see if he can come out.
- Try to lose
- the down that he's found.
- But only love
- can break your heart
- Try to be sure
- right from the start
- Yes only love
- can break your heart
- What if your world
- should fall apart?
- I have a friend
- I've never seen
- He hides his head
- inside a dream
- Yes, only love
- can break your heart
- Yes, only love
- can break your heart
- Southern man
- better keep your head
- Don't forget
- what your good book said
- Southern change
- gonna come at last
- Now your crosses
- are burning fast
- Southern man
- I saw cotton
- and I saw black
- Tall white mansions
- and little shacks.
- Southern man
- when will you
- pay them back?
- I heard screamin'
- and bullwhips cracking
- How long? How long?
- Southern man
- better keep your head
- Don't forget
- what your good book said
- Southern change
- gonna come at last
- Now your crosses
- are burning fast
- Southern man
- Lily Belle,
- your hair is golden brown
- I've seen your black man
- comin' round
- Swear by God
- I'm gonna cut him down!
- I heard screamin'
- and bullwhips cracking
- How long? How long?
- Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
- We're finally on our own.
- This summer I hear the drumming,
- Four dead in Ohio.
- Gotta get down to it
- Soldiers are cutting us down
- Should have been done long ago.
- What if you knew her
- And found her dead on the ground
- How can you run when you know?
- Gotta get down to it
- Soldiers are cutting us down
- Should have been done long ago.
- What if you knew her
- And found her dead on the ground
- How can you run when you know?
- Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
- We're finally on our own.
- This summer I hear the drumming,
- Four dead in Ohio.
- I caught you knockin'
- at my cellar door
- I love you, baby,
- can I have some more
- Ooh, ooh, the damage done.
- I hit the city and
- I lost my band
- I watched the needle
- take another man
- Gone, gone, the damage done.
- I sing the song
- because I love the man
- I know that some
- of you don't understand
- Milk-blood
- to keep from running out.
- I've seen the needle
- and the damage done
- A little part of it in everyone
- But every junkie's
- like a settin' sun.
- Old man look at my life,
- I'm a lot like you were.
- Old man look at my life,
- I'm a lot like you were.
- Old man look at my life,
- Twenty four
- and there's so much more
- Live alone in a paradise
- That makes me think of two.
- Love lost, such a cost,
- Give me things
- that don't get lost.
- Like a coin that won't get tossed
- Rolling home to you.
- Old man take a look at my life
- I'm a lot like you
- I need someone to love me
- the whole day through
- Ah, one look in my eyes
- and you can tell that's true.
- Lullabies, look in your eyes,
- Run around the same old town.
- Doesn't mean that much to me
- To mean that much to you.
- I've been first and last
- Look at how the time goes past.
- But I'm all alone at last.
- Rolling home to you.
- Old man take a look at my life
- I'm a lot like you
- I need someone to love me
- the whole day through
- Ah, one look in my eyes
- and you can tell that's true.
- Old man look at my life,
- I'm a lot like you were.
- Old man look at my life,
- I'm a lot like you were.
- I want to live,
- I want to give
- I've been a miner
- for a heart of gold.
- It's these expressions
- I never give
- That keep me searching
- for a heart of gold
- And I'm getting old.
- Keeps me searching
- for a heart of gold
- And I'm getting old.
- I've been to Hollywood
- I've been to Redwood
- I crossed the ocean
- for a heart of gold
- I've been in my mind,
- it's such a fine line
- That keeps me searching
- for a heart of gold
- And I'm getting old.
- Keeps me searching
- for a heart of gold
- And I'm getting old.
- Keep me searching
- for a heart of gold
- You keep me searching
- for a heart of gold
- And I'm getting old.
- I've been a miner
- for a heart of gold.
- Once I thought I saw you
- in a crowded hazy bar,
- Dancing on the light
- from star to star.
- Far across the moonbeam
- I know that's who you are,
- I saw your brown eyes
- turning once to fire.
- You are like a hurricane
- There's calm in your eye.
- And I'm gettin' blown away
- To somewhere safer
- where the feeling stays.
- I want to love you but
- I'm getting blown away.
- I am just a dreamer,
- but you are just a dream,
- You could have been
- anyone to me.
- Before that moment
- you touched my lips
- That perfect feeling
- when time just slips
- Away between us
- on our foggy trip.
- You are like a hurricane
- There's calm in your eye.
- And I'm gettin' blown away
- To somewhere safer
- where the feeling stays.
- I want to love you but
- I'm getting blown away.
- You are just a dreamer,
- and I am just a dream.
- You could have been
- anyone to me.
- Before that moment
- you touched my lips
- That perfect feeling
- when time just slips
- Away between us
- on our foggy trip.
- You are like a hurricane
- There's calm in your eye.
- And I'm gettin' blown away
- To somewhere safer
- where the feeling stays.
- I want to love you but
- I'm getting blown away.
- Comes a time
- when you're driftin'
- Comes a time
- when you settle down
- Comes a light
- feelin's liftin'
- Lift that baby
- right up off the ground.
- Oh, this old world
- keeps spinning round
- It's a wonder tall trees
- ain't layin' down
- There comes a time.
- You and I we were captured
- We took our souls
- and we flew away
- We were right
- we were giving
- That's how we kept
- what we gave away.
- Oh, this old world
- keeps spinning round
- It's a wonder tall trees
- ain't layin' down
- There comes a time.
- Come a little bit closer
- Hear what I have to say
- Just like children sleepin'
- We could dream this night away.
- But there's a full moon risin'
- Let's go dancin' in the light
- We know where the music's playin'
- Let's go out and feel the night.
- Because I'm still in love with you
- I want to see you dance again
- Because I'm still in love with you
- On this harvest moon.
- When we were strangers
- I watched you from afar
- When we were lovers
- I loved you with all my heart.
- But now it's gettin' late
- And the moon is climbin' high
- I want to celebrate
- See it shinin' in your eye.
- Because I'm still in love with you
- I want to see you dance again
- Because I'm still in love with you
- On this harvest moon.
