Before the dawn
I hear you whisper
in Your sleep don't let
the morning take him
outside the birds
begin to call
as if to summon
up my leaving
It's been a long time
since I found someone
since I found someone
who would stay
I waited too long
now you leaving
oh please don't take
it all the way-

It's been a long time
since I found someone
since I found someone
who would stay
I waited too long
now you leaving
oh please don't take
it all the way
Before the dawn
I hear you whisper
in your sleep don't let
the morning take me-

There is a house
in New Orleans
They call the
rising sun
And it's been the ruin
of many a poor boy
And Go I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my
new blue jeans
My father was
a gamblin' man
Down in
New Orleans
Now the only thing
a gambler needs
Is a suitcase
and a trunk
And the only time
he'll be satisfied
Is when he's all
a drunk

Oh mother
tell your children
Not to do
what I have done
spend your lives
in sin and misery
In the house
of the rising sun
Well I've got one
foot on the platform
The other
foot on the train
I'm going back to
New Orleans
To wear that ball
and chain
Well there is
a house in New Orleans
They call
the rising sun
And It's been the ruin
of many a poor boy
And God I know
I'm one

Desperado
why don't you come to
Your senses
you've been out
Ridin fences
for so long now
Oh you're a hard one
but I know that
You've got
your reasons
These things
that are pleasin'
You can hurt you
somehow
Don't you draw
the Queen of diamonds
Boy she'll beat you
if she's able
You know
the Queen of hearts
Is always
your best bet
Now it seems to me
some fine things
Have been laid
upon your table
But you only
want the ones
You can't get
desperado
Oh you ain't
gettin no younger
Your pain and
your hunger
They're drivin
you home
And freedom
oh freedom
Well that's just
some people talkin'
Your prison is
walking through
This world all alone
don't you
Feet get cold
in the wintertime
The sky won't snow
and the sun
Won't shine
it's hard to tell
The night time
from the day
And you're losin all
your highs and lows
Ain't it funny
how the feelin
Goes away
desperado
Why don't you
come to your senses
Come down
from your fences
Open the gates
it may be rainin
But there's a rainbow
above you
You'd better
let somebody love you
(Let somebody
love you)
You'd better
let somebody love you
Before
it's too late-

I will not make
the same mistakes
That you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart
so much misery
I will not break
the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned
The hard way
to never let it
Get that far
because of you
I never stray too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it
Hard to trust
not only me
But everyone around me
because of you
I am afraid
I lose my way
And it's not
too long
Before you point
it out
I cannot cry
because I know
That's weakness
in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
a smile a laugh
Everyday of my life
my heart can't
Possibly break
when it wasn't
Even whole
to start with
Because of you
I never stray
Too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it
Hard to trust
not only me
But everyone around me
because of you
I am afraid
I watched you die
I heard you cry
every night
In your sleep
I was so young
You should have
known better
Than to lean on me
you never thought
Of anyone else
you just saw your pain
And now I cry
in the middle
Of the night
for the same
Damn thing
because of you
I never stray too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest
Just to forget
everything
Because of you
I don't know how to
Let anyone else in
because of you
I'm ashamed of my life
because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you
because of you

I think I'm drowning
asphyxiated
I wanna break
the spell
That you've created
you're something
Beautiful
a contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction
You will be
the death of me
Yeah you will be
the death of me
Bury it I won't
let you bury it
I won't let you
smother it
I won't let you
murder it
And our time is
running out
And our time is
running out
You can't push it
underground
You can't stop it
screaming out

I wanted freedom
bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
but I'm addicted
Now that you know
I'm trapped
Since ovulation
you'd never dream of
Breaking
this fixation
You will squeeze
the life out of me
Bury it I won't
let you bury it
I won't let you
smother it
I won't let you
murder it
And our time is
running out
But our time is
running out
You can't push it
underground
You can't stop it
screaming out
How did it
come to this
Ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah ooh yeah

Yeah you will suck
the life out of me
Bury it I won't
let you bury it
I won't let you
smother it
I won't let you
murder it
And our time is
running out
And our time is
running out
You can't push it
underground
You can't stop it
screaming out
How did it
come to this
Ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah ooh yeah

I used to rule
the world
Seas would rise
when I gave the word
Now in the morning I
sleep alone
Sweep the streets
I used to own
I used to
roll the dice
Feel the fear in my
enemies eyes
Listen as the crowd
would sing
Now the old
king is dead
Long live
the king
One minute I
held the key
Next the walls
were closed on me
And I discovered that
my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt
and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem
bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs
are singing
Be my mirror my sword
my shield
My missionaries
in a foreign field
For some reason
I can't explain
Once you go
there was never
Never an
honest word
That was when I
ruled the world

It was the wicked
and wild win
Blew down the doors
to let me in
Shattered windows
and the sound of drums
People couldn't
believe what
I'd become
revolutionaries wait
For my head on
a silver plate
Just a puppet on
a lonely string
Ah who would ever
want to be king
I hear Jerusalem
bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs
are singing
Be my mirror my sword
and shield
My missionaries in
a foreign field
For some reason
I can't explain
I know Saint Peter
won't call my name
Never an
honest word
But that was when I
ruled the world

(Ooooh ooooh
ooooh ooooh ooooh)
I hear Jerusalem
bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs
are singing
Be my mirror my sword
and shield
My missionaries in
a foreign field
For some reason
I can't explain
I know Saint Peter
won't call my name
Never an
honest word
But that was when I
ruled the world

Perhaps love is like
a resting place
A shelter
from the storm
It exists to give you
comfort it is
There to keep you Warm
And in those times
of trouble when
you are most alone
The memory of love will
bring you home
Perhaps love
is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you
to come closer
It Wants
to show you more
And even if you
lose yourself
and don't know
what to do
The memory of love will
see you thru
Oh love to some is
like a cloud
To some
as strong as steel
For some a way
of living For
some a way to feel
And some say love
is holding on
And some say
letting go
And some say love
is ev'rything
some say they
don't know
perhaps love
is like the ocean
Full of conflict
full of pain
Like a fire
When it's cold outside
Thunder when
it rains If I should
live forever
And all my dreams
come true
My memories
of love will
be of you.

And some say love is
holding on
And some say
letting go
And some say love
is ev'rything
some say they
don't know
Perhaps love
is like the ocean
Full of conflict
full of pain
Like a fire
When it's cold outside
Thunder when
it rains If I should
live forever
And all my dreams
come true
My memories
of love will be of you.

A hot summer night
fell like a net
I've gotta find
my baby yet
I need you
to soothe my head
Turn my blue
heart to red
Doctor doctor
give me the news
I've got a bad case
of loving you
No pill's gonna
cure my ill
I've got a bad case
of loving you-
A pretty face don't
make no pretty heart
I learned that
buddy from the start

a little bit shy
Momma I ain't
that kind of guy
Doctor doctor
give me the news
I've got a bad case
of loving you
No pill's gonna

I've got a bad case
of loving you-

I know you like it

Tell me momma are

You had me down
2 1 to zip
smile of judas
on your lip
shake my fist
knock on wood
I've got it bad
and I've got it good
Doctor doctor
give me the news
I've got a bad case
of loving you
No pill's gonna
cure my ill
I've got a bad case
of loving you-

Fever dream
high
In the quiet
of the night
You know
that I caught it
Bad bad boy
shiny toy with a price
You know
that I bought it
Killing me slow
out the window
I'm always waiting
for you
To be waiting
below
Devils roll the dice
angels roll their eyes
What doesn't kill me
makes me want you more
And it's new
the shape of your body
It's blue
the feeling I've got
And it's woo woah
it's a cruel summer
It's cool
that's what I tell 'em
No rules
in breakable heaven
But woo woah
it's a cruel summer
With
you
Hang your head low
in the glow
Of the vending machine
I'm not dying
We say that
we'll just screw it up
In these trying times
we're not trying
So cut the headlights
summer's a knife
I'm always waiting
for you
Just to cut
to the bone
Devils roll the dice
angels roll their eyes
And
if I bleed
You'll be the last
to know oh
It's new
the shape of your body
It's blue
the feeling I've got
And it's woo woah
it's a cruel summer
It's cool
that's what I tell 'em
No rules
in breakable heaven
But woo woah
it's a cruel summer
With
you
I'm drunk
in the back of the car
And I cried
like a baby
Comin' home
from the bar
Said I'm fine
but it wasn't true
I don't wanna
keep secrets
Just to keep
you and I
Snuck in through
the garden gate
Every night
that summer
Just to seal
my fate
And I scream
for whatever
It's worth
I love you
Ain't that the worst
thing you ever heard
He looks up grinnin'
like a devil
It's new
the shape of your body
It's blue
the feeling I've got
And it's woo woah
it's a cruel summer
It's cool
that's what I tell 'em
No rules
in breakable heaven
But woo woah
it's a cruel summer
With
you
I'm drunk
in the back of the car
And I cried
like a baby
Comin' home
from the bar
Said I'm fine
but it wasn't true
I don't wanna
keep secrets
Just to keep
you and I
Snuck in through
the garden gate
Every night
that summer
Just to seal
my fate
And I scream
for whatever
It's worth
I love you
Ain't that the worst
thing you ever heard

25 years of my
life and still
I'm trying
to get up that
Great big
hill of hope
For a
destination
I realized
quickly
When I
knew I should
That the world was
made up of this
Brotherhood
of man
For whatever
that means
And so I
cry sometimes
When I'm
lying in bed
To still
get it all out
What's in
my head
Then I
I am feeling
A little
peculiar
And so I wake in the
morning and I step
Outside and I
take a deep breath
And I get
real high
Then I scream from the
top of my lungs
What's going on
and I say
Hey yeah
yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
I say hey
What's going on
and I say
Hey yeah
yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
I said hey
What's going on

Woo woo woo woo woo

And I try
oh my God do I try
I try all the time
in this institution
And I pray
oh my God do I pray
I pray every
single day
For a
revolution
And so I
cry sometimes
When I'm
lying in bed
To still
get it all out
What's in
my head
Then I
I am feeling
A little
peculiar
And so I wake in the
morning and I step
Outside and I
take a deep breath
And I get
real high
Then I scream from the
top of my lungs
What's going on
and I say

25 years of my
life and still
I'm trying
to get up that
Great big
hill of hope
For a
destination uhm

I stand alone
in the darkness
The winter of my life
came- so fast
Memories go back
to childhood
To days I still recall
oh how happy I was--
Then there was
no sorrow
There was no pain
walking through
The- green-- fields
sunshine in my eyes
I'm still there
everywhere
I'm the dust
in the wind
I'm the star
in the northern sky--
I never stayed
anywhere
I'm the wind
in the trees
Would you wait
for me forever-

I'm still there
everywhere
I'm the dust
in the wind
I'm the star
in the northern sky--
I never stayed
anywhere
I'm the wind
in the trees
Would you wait
for me forever
Would you wait
for me forever
Will you wait
for me forever-

Put your loving

So put your loving
hand out baby

Riding high

hard and fast
'Cause

But easy come and easy
go and it would end
So anytime I bleed
you let me go
Yah anytime I feed
you get me know
Anytime I seek
you let me know
But I planted that
seed just let me go
I'm on my knees
when I'm beggin'
'Cause I don't wanna
lose you
Hey yeah

'Cause I'm beggin'
beggin' you
Uh put your loving
hand out baby

And put your loving
hand out darlin'
I need you
to understand
Tried so hard
to be your man
The kind of man
you want in the end
Only then can I begin
to live again
An empty shell
I used to be
The shadow of my life
was hangin' over me
A broken man
that I don't know
Won't even
stand
The devil's dance
to win my soul
What we doin'
what we chasin'
Why the bottom
why the basement
Why we got good sxxx
don't embrace it
Why the feel for
the need to replace me
You're the wrong way
track from the good
I want to paint
a picture
Tellin'
where we could be at
Like a heart
in the best
Way should
you can give it away
You had it
and you took the pay
But I keep walkin' on
keep openin' doors
Keep hopin' for
now the door is yours
Keep also home
'cause I don't want
To live
in a broken home
Girl I'm beggin'

So put your loving
hand out baby
I'm beggin'
beggin' you
So put your loving

to hold my own
Just can't make it
all alone

I fell in love with you
watching Casablanca
Back row at
the drive in show in
the flickering light
Popcorn and cokes
beneath the stars
became champagne
and caviar
Making love on a long
hot summer's night
I thought you fell in
love with me
watching Casablanca
Holding hands beneath
the paddle fans
in Rick's candle
lit cafe
Hiding in the shadows
from the spies
Moroccan moonlight
in your eyes
Making magic
at the movies
in my old chevrolet
Ooh a kiss is still
a kiss in Casablanca
But a kiss is not
a kiss without
your sigh
Please come back to me
in Casablanca
I love you
more and
more each day
as time goes by-

I guess there are many
broken hearts
in Casablanca
You know I've never
really been there so
I don't know
I guess our love story
will never be seen
on the big wide
silver screen
But it hurt just as bad
when I had to watch
Ooh a kiss is still
a kiss in Casablanca
But a kiss is not a
kiss without your sigh
Please come back to me
in Casablanca
I love you
more and more each day
as time goes by
Ooh a kiss is still a
kiss in Casablanca
But a kiss is not a
kiss without your sigh
please come back to me
in Casablanca
I love you
more and more each day
as time goes by
I love you
more and
more each day
as time goes by-

I Can't Stop
Loving You
I've made up my mind
To live in memory
of old lonesome time
I can't stop
wanting you
I'm go
that
it's useless to say
So I'll just live
my life
in dreams of
yesterday
A Those happy hours
that we that we once
knew I
know that
Though so long ago
the keep on
the keep on
make me blue
What can I
They say
that time
It has the heals
my broken
heart
But time has
stood still
since we've been
a part
I Can't
Stop
I Can't Stop
Loving You
I sad that
I made up
I've made up my mind
To live in memory
of old
lonesome time
yes and
I'm can't and
I'm can't and
I'm can't
I can't stop
walk to you
I sad that
It's useless to say
so I'll
just live my life
in dreams of

I don't like
to sleep alone
Stay with me
don't go
Talk with me
for just a while
So much of you
to get to know
Reaching out
touching you
Leaving all the
worries
All behind
loving you
The way I do
my mouth on yours
And yours on mine
marry me
Let me live with you
nothing's wrong
When love is right
like a man say
In his song
help me make it
Through the night
loneliness
Can get you down
when you get
To thinking
no one cares
Lean on me
and I'll lean on you
Together we will
see it through
Oh I don't like
to sleep alone
Sad to think
some folks do
No I don't like
to sleep alone
No one does do you
I don't like
To sleep alone
no one does do you-

She's faced
the hardest times
You could imagine
and many times
Her eyes fought back
the tears
And when
her youthful world
Was about to fail in
each time
Her slender shoulders
wore the weight
Of all her fears
and a sorrow
No one hears
still rings
In midnight silence
in her ears
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free and
gentle flower
Growing wild
and if by chance
I should hold her
let me hold her
For a time
but if allowed
Just one possession
I would pick her
From the garden
to be mine-

Mm be careful
how you touch her
For she'll awaken
and sleeps
The only freedom
that she knows
And when you look
into her eyes
You won't believe
the way she's always
Paying for a dept
she never owed
And a silent wind
still blows
That only she can hear
and so she goes
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free
and gentle flower
Growing
wild
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free
and gentle flower
Growing
wild
She's a flower
growing wild-

Met you by surprise
I didn't realize
That my life would
change forever
Saw you standing there
I didn't know I cared
There was
something special
In the air
dreams are my reality
The only kind of
real fantasy
Illusions are
a common thing
I try to live
in dreams
It seems as
if it's meant to be
Dreams are
my reality
A different kind
of reality
I dream of loving
in the night
And loving
seems alright
Although
it's only fantasy-

If you do exist
honey don't resist
Show me a new way
of loving
Tell me that it's true
show me what to do
I feel
something special
About you
dreams are my reality
The only kind
of reality
Maybe my foolishness
has past
And maybe now at last
I'll see
How a real thing
can be
Dreams are
my reality
A wonderous world
where I like to be
I dream of holding you
all night
And holding you
seems right
Perhaps that's
my reality-

Met you by surprise
I didn't realize
That my life would
change forever
Tell me that it's true
feelings that are cue
I feel
something special
About you
dreams are my reality
A wonderous world
where I like to be
Illusions are
a common thing
I try to live
in dreams
Although
it's only fantasy
Dreams are
my reality
I like to dream of you
close to me
I dream of loving
in the night
And loving you
seems right
Perhaps that's
my reality-

I used to think that
I wasn't fine enough
And I used
to think that
I wasn't
wild enough
But I won't
waste my time
Tryin to
figure out
Why you are
playin games
What's this all about
and I can't believe
Your hurting me
I met your girl
What a difference

A summer evening
on Les Champs Elyses
A secret rendezvous
they planned for days
I see faces
in the crowded cafe
A sound of laughter
as the music played
Jeanne Claude
was
A student
at the University
Louise Marie
is just a world away
He recall
the night
They met was warm
with laughter
The words and music
as she turned away
I'll meet you
at midnight
Under
the moonlight
I'll meet you
at midnight
But Jeanne Claude
Louise Marie
Will
never be

Each cigarette will
light a thousand faces
The shade is passing
like a thousand years
Midnight was turning
into empty spaces
The sound of
laughter'd disappeared
I'll meet you
at midnight
Under
the moonlight
I'll meet you
at midnight
Oh but Jeanne Claude
Louise Marie
Will
never be

A summer morning
on Les Champs Elyses
The entertainment
in the street cafe
The sunlight
melting
Through
an open door way
Jeanne Claude has left
some other day
(I'll meet you
at midnight)
(Under
the moon night)
(I'll meet you
at midnight)
I'll meet you
at midnight
Under
the moon night
I'll meet you
at midnight
Oh but Jean Claude
Louise Maries
Will
never be
