Well take me
back down
Where cool water
flows yeah
Let me remember
things I love
Stoppin' at the log
where catfish bite
Walkin' along
the river road
At night
barefoot girls
Dancin' in
the moonlight
I can hear
the bullfrog
Callin' me
wonder if my rope's
Still hangin'
to the tree
Love to kick
my feet way down
The shallow water
shoefly dragonfly
Get back your mother
pick up a flat rock
Skip it across
Green River well-

Up at cody's camp
I spent my days
With flat car
riders and
Cross-tie walkers
old cody junior
Took me over
said you're gonna
Find the world
is smouldrin
And if you get lost
come on home
To Green River
well-

I'm sitting here
in a boring room
It's just another
rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever
happens and I wonder
I'm driving around
in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change
my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting for you
But nothing
ever happens
And I wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
yesterday you told me
About the
blue blue sky
And all that
I can see
Is just
a yellow lemon tree
I'm turning my head
up and down
I'm turning turning
turning turning
Turning around
and all that I can see
Is just
another lemon tree
Sing da
da da da da dee da da
Da da da da dee da da
da da da da
I'm sitting here
I miss the power
I'd like to go out
taking a shower
But there's a heavy
cloud inside my head
I feel so tired
put myself into bed
Where nothing
ever happens
And I wonder
Isolation
Is not good for me
Isolation
I don't want to
sit on a lemon tree
I'm stepping around
in a desert of joy
Baby any how
I'll get another toy
And everything
will happen
And you'll wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
yesterday you told me
About the
blue blue sky
And all that
I can see
Is just
a yellow lemon tree
I'm turning my head
up and down
I'm turning turning
turning turning
Turning around
and all that I can see
Is just
a yellow lemon tree
Yellow wonder wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
yesterday you told me
About the
blue blue sky
And all that I can see
and all that I can see
And all that
I can see
Is just
a yellow lemon tree

First things first
I'ma say
All the words
inside my head
I'm fired up
and tired of
The way that things
have been oh woo
The way that things
have been oh woo
Second things second
don't you tell me
What you think
that I could be
I'm the one
at the sail
I'm the master
of my sea oh woo
The master
of my sea oh woo
I was broken
from a young age
Taking my sulking
to the masses
Writing my poems
for the few
That look at me
took to me
Shook to me
feeling me
Singing from heartache
from the pain
Taking my message
from the veins
Speaking my lesson
from the brain
Seeing the beauty
through the
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Pain
you break me down
You build me up
believer believer
Pain
oh let the bullets fly
Oh let them
rain
My life my love
my drive it came from
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Third things third
send a prayer
To the ones
up above
All the hate
that you've heard has
Turned your spirit
to a dove oh woo
Your spirit up above
oh woo
I was choking
in the crowd
Building my rain up
in the cloud
Falling like ashes
to the ground
Hoping my feelings
they would drown
But they never did
ever lived
Ebbing
and flowing
Inhibited limited
till it broke open
And rained down
and rained down like
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Pain
you break me down
You build me up
believer believer
Pain
oh let the bullets fly
Oh let them
rain
My life my love
my drive it came from
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Last things last
by the grace
Of the fire
and the flames
You're the face
of the future
The blood in my veins
oh woo
The blood in my veins
oh woo
But they never did
ever lived
Ebbing
and flowing
Inhibited limited
till it broke open
And rained down
and rained down like
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Pain
you break me down
You build me up
believer believer
Pain
oh let the bullets fly
Oh let them
rain
My life my love
my drive it came from
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer

I do
the same thing
I told you
that I never would
I told you
I'd change
Even when I knew
I never could
I know
that I can't find
Nobody else
as good as you
I need you to stay
need you to stay hey
I get drunk wake up
I'm wasted still
I realize the time
that I wasted here
I feel like you can't

Nobody else

When I'm away from you
I miss your touch
You're the reason
I believe in love
It's been difficult
for me to trust
And I'm afraid
that I'ma fxxx it up
Ain't no way
that
I can leave you
stranded
'Cause you ain't ever
left me empty-handed
And you know
that I know
That I can't live
without you
So baby

I'm going under
and this time
I fear there's no one
to save me
This all or nothing
really got a way
Of driving me
crazy
I need somebody
to heal
Somebody
to know
Somebody to have
somebody to hold
It's easy
to say
But
it's never the same
I guess I kinda
liked the way
You numbed
all the pain
Now the day bleeds
into nightfall
And you're not here
to get me
Through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled
the rug
I was getting kinda
used to being
Someone
you loved
I'm going under
and this time
I fear there's no one
to turn to
This all
or nothing way
Of loving got me
sleeping without you
Now I need
somebody to know
Somebody to heal
somebody to have
Just to know
how it feels
It's easy
to say
But
it's never the same
I guess I kinda
like the way
You help me
escape
Now the day bleeds
into nightfall
And you're not here
to get me
Through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled
the rug
I was getting kinda
used to being
Someone
you loved
And I tend
to close my eyes
When it hurts
sometimes
I fall into
your arms
I'll be safe
in your sound
Till I come back
around
For now the day bleeds
into nightfall
And you're not here
to get me
Through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled
the rug
I was getting kinda
used to being
Someone
you loved
But now the day bleeds
into nightfall
And you're not here
to get me
Through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled
the rug
I was getting kinda
used to being
Someone you loved
I let my guard down
And then you pulled
the rug
I was getting kinda
used to being
Someone
you loved

Tell me somethin'
girl
Are you happy
in this modern world
Or do you
need more
Is there
somethin' else
You're
searchin' for
I'm falling
in all the good times
I find myself
longin' for change
And in the bad times
I fear myself
Tell me something
boy
Aren't you
tired
Tryin' to fill
that void
Or do you
need more
Ain't it hard
keeping it so hardcore
I'm falling
in all the good times
I find myself
longing for change
And in the bad times
I fear myself
I'm off the deep end
watch as I dive in
I'll never meet
the ground
Crash through
the surface
Where
they can't hurt us
We're far from
the shallow now
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
We're far from
the shallow now

I'm off the deep end
watch as I dive in
I'll never meet
the ground
Crash through
the surface
Where
they can't hurt us
We're far from
the shallow now
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
We're far from
the shallow now

I don't wanna

Ever since

'Cause I know

So predictable

If you search
for tenderness
It isn't hard
to find
You can have the love
you need to live
But if you look
for truthfulness
You might just as well
be blind
It always seems to be
so hard to give
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you
I can always
find someone
To say they
sympathize
If I wear my heart out
on my sleeve
But I don't want
some pretty face
To tell me
pretty lies
All I want is
someone to believe
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you
I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security
until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me
with promises again
I know (I know)
I know wo wo
When I'm deep
inside of me
Don't be too
concerned
I won't ask
for nothing
While
I'm gone
But when I want
sincerity
Tell me
where else can I turn
'Cause you're the one
that I depend upon
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you

If I had to
live my life
Without you near me
The days would
all be empty
The nights would seem
so long
And you I see forever

in love before
But it never felt
this strong
Our dreams are young
and we both know
They'll take us
where we want to go
Hold me now

without you

change a thing

the way you are
So come with me and
share the view

forever too

There's a place
in your heart
and I know
that it is love
and this place
could be much brighter
than tomorrow
and if you really try
you'll find
there's no need to cry
in this place
you'll feel
there's no hurt
or sorrow

to get there
if you care enough
for the living
make a little space
make a better place
Heal the world

for you and for me
and the entire
human race

for the living
make a better place
for you and for me
If you want to know
why there's a love
that can not lie
love is strong
it only cares of
joyful giving
If we try we shall see
in this bliss
we can not feel
fear or dread
we stop existing
and start living
then it feels that
always love's enough
for us growing
so make a better world
make a better world
Heal the world
make it a better place
for you and for me
and the entire
human race
there are people dying

for you and for me
and the dream
we were conceived
in will reveal a
joyful face
and the world me
once believed in will
shine again in grace
than why do we keep
stranging life would
this earth crucify
It's soul though
it's plain to see
this world is heavenly
be gods glow
we could fly
so high let
our spirits
never die in my heart
I feel you are
all my brothers
create a world
with no fear together
we cry happy tears see
the nations turn
their swords
into plowshares
we could really
get there
if you cared enough
for the living
make a little space
to make a better place
Heal the world
make it a better place
for you and for me
and the entire
human race
there are people dying

Ocean apart
day after day
And I slowly
go insane
I hear your voice
on the line
But it doesn't
stop the pain
If I see you next
to never
How can we say
forever
wherever you go
whatever you do
I will be right
here waiting for you
whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here
waiting for you
I took for granted
all the times
that I though would
last somehow
I hear the laughter
I taste the tears
But I can't get near
you now
Oh can't you see
it baby
You've got me going
crazy
Wherever you go
whatever you do
I will be right here
waiting for you
whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here
waiting for you
I wonder how
we can survive
This romance
But in the end
if I'll with you
I'll take the chance-

Oh can't you see
it baby
You've got me going
crazy
Wherever you go
whatever you do
I will be right here
waiting for you
whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here
waiting for you
waiting
for you-

I'd ratherer be a
sparrow than a snail
Yes I would If I could
I surely would Hm hm
I'd rather be a
hammer than a nail
Yes I would
If I only could
I surely would Hm hm
A way I'd rather
sail away
Like a swan that's
here and gone
A man gets tied up
to the ground
He gives the world
it's saddest sound
it's saddest sound
Hm hm Hm hm
I'd ratherer be a
forest than a street
Yes I would
If I could
I surely would
I'd ratherer feel
the earth beneath
my feet Yes I would
If I only could
I surely
would-

One touch
and you got me stoned
Higher
than I've ever known
You call the shots
and I'll follow
Sunrise but the
night's still young
No words but we're
speaking tongues
If you let me
I might say too much
Your touch
blurred my vision
It's your world
and I'm just in it
Even sober I'm not
thinking straight
'Cause I'm off my face
in love with you
I'm out my head
so into you
And I don't know
how you do it
But I'm forever ruined
by you woo woo woo
Can't sleep 'cause
I'm way too buzzed
Too late now
you're in my blood
I don't hate the way
you keep me up
Your touch
blurred my vision
It's your world
and I'm just in it
Even sober I'm not
thinking straight
'Cause I'm off my face
in love with you
I'm out my head
so into you
And I don't know
how you do it
But I'm forever ruined
by you woo woo woo

'Cause I'm off my face
in love with you
I'm out my head
so into you
And I don't know
how you do it
But I'm forever ruined
by you woo woo woo
By you
woo woo woo

You're
my painkiller
When my brain gets
bitter
You keep me close
you keep me close
I got
front row seats
For the Parkside
livin'
Feel
like the one
But I'm one
in a billion
Teenage
cynical
And
I don't really know
What's the point
of livin'
If my heart gets
broken
Drivin'
on the road
Waiting
for head-on collision
Springtime funeral
I miss you
But I'd rather
be alone
To keep me from
heartbreaks headaches
The doctor says
I'm diagnosed with
Xhit days
mistakes
But I'll be fine
but I'll be fine
'Cause
you're my painkiller
When my brain gets
bitter
You keep me
close
When I've been
miserable
And it takes
forever
To let my brain get
better
You keep me close
you keep me close
Window seats as the
plane starts leavin'
Miss
those streets
Where my knees were
bleedin'
Homesick veteran
I left my bed again
Oh lookin' for
heartbreaks headaches
The doctor says
I'm diagnosed with
Xhit days
mistakes
But I'll be fine
but I'll be fine
'Cause
you're my painkiller
When my brain gets
bitter
You keep me
close
When I've been
miserable
And it takes
forever
To let my brain get
better
You keep me close

Please
never leave me
'Cause I'm barely
holdin' on
You give me a reason
to keep on breathin'
'Cause
you're my painkiller
When my brain gets
bitter
You keep me
close
When I've been
miserable
And it takes
forever
To let my brain get
better
You keep me close

I know you hear me

I bless the day
I found you
I want to stay
around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me
Don't take
this Heaven from one
if you must cling
to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me
Each time
we meet love
I find
complete love----
Without your
sweet love
What would life be?
So never leave
me lonely
Tell me you'll love
me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me
To you
I'm praying
hear what
I'm saying----
Please let
your heart beat
for me just me
And never leave
me lonely
Tell me you'll love
me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me.

Do you have the time
to listen to me whine
About nothing
and everything
All at- once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it
sometimes I give
Myself the- creeps
sometimes my mind
Plays ticks on- me
It all keeps adding up
I think
I'm cracking up-
Am I just paranoid
am I just stoned
I went to a shrink
to analyze my dreams
She says
it's lack of sex
That's bringing me-
down
I went to a whore
he said my life's
A bore- so quit
my whining cause
It's bringing her-
down
Sometimes I give
myself the- creeps
Sometimes my mind
plays ticks on-me
It all keeps
adding up
I think
I'm cracking up-
And I just paranoid
am I just stoned-

Grasping to control
so I better hold- on-

Sometimes I give
myself the- creeps
Sometimes my mind
plays ticks on- me
It all keeps
adding up
I think
I'm cracking up-
Am I just paranoid
am I just stoned-

Sunday morning
up with the lark
I think I'll take
a walk in the park
Hey hey hey
It's a beautiful day
I've got someone
waiting for me
And when I see her
I know that she'll say
Hey hey hey
It's a beautiful day
Hi hi hi
beautiful Sunday
This is my my my
beautiful day
When you
said said said
Said that you
love me
Oh my my my
it's a beautiful day
Birds are singing
you by my side
Let's take the car
and go for a ride
Hey hey hey
it's a beautiful day
We'll drive on and
follow the sun
Making Sunday
go on and on
Hey hey hey
it's a beautiful day
Hi hi hi
beautiful Sunday
This is my my my
beautiful day
When you
said said said
Said that you
love me
Oh my my my
it's a beautiful day
Hi hi hi
beautiful Sunday
This is my my my
beautiful day
When you
said said said
Said that you
love me
Oh my my my
it's a beautiful day
Hi hi hi
beautiful Sunday
This is my my my
beautiful day
When you
said said said
Said that you
love me
Oh my my my
it's a beautiful day

Um-------
there's a hero--
If you look inside
your heart-
You don't have
to be afraid
Oh what you are-----
there's an answer---
If you reach
into your soul---
And the sorrow
that you know--
Will melt
away----------
And then a hero
comes along
With the strength
to carry on--
And you cast
your fears aside--
And you know
you can survive---
So when you feel
like hope is gone--
Look inside you and
be strong--
And you finally
see the truth--
That a hero
lies in you--
It's a long-- road--
when you face
The world alone--
no one reaches out
A hand
for you to hold------
You can find--- love--
if you search
Within yourself---
and the emptiness
You felt-- will
disappear------------
And then a hero
comes along
With the strength
to carry on---
And you cast
you fears aside--
And you know
you can survive---
So when you feel
like hope is gone--
Look inside you
and be strong----
And you'll finally
see the truth---
That a hero lies
in you--- oh-----
Lord knows-----
dreams are hard to-
Follow-- but don't let
anyone---
Tear them away-----
hold-- on-----
There will be
tomorrow-- in- time--
You'll find
the way-----
And then a hero
comes along--
With the strength
to carry on---
And you cast
your fears aside----
And you know
you can survive----
So when you feel
like hope is gone---
Look inside you and
be strong---
And you'll finally
see the truth----
That a hero lies
in you-----
That a hero lies
in---- you-
Um---- that a hero
lies in-- you---

I could build
a mansion
that is higher
than the trees
I could have all
the gifts I want
and never ask
to leave
I could fly
to paris
it's at my
beck and call
why do I live
my life alone
with nothing
at- all
but when I dream
I dream of you
maybe some day
you will come true
when I dream
I dream of you
maybe some day
you will come true-

I can be- the singer
or the clown
in any room
I can call up someone
to take me
to the moon
I can put
my makeup on
and drive
the men insane
I can go
to bed alone
and never know-
his name
but when I dream
I dream of you
maybe some day
you will come true
when I dream
I dream of you
maybe some day
you will come true-
