I have often
told you stories
About the way
I lived the life
Of a drifter
waiting for the day
When I'd take
your hand
And sing you songs
then maybe
You would say
come lay with me
Love me
and I would
Surely stay
but I feel
I'm growing older
and the songs that
I have sung
echo in the distance
Like the sound
of a windmill
goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier
of fortune

Many times
I've been a traveller
I looked for
something new
In days of old
when nights were cold
I wandered without you
but those days
I thougt my eyes
had seen you
Standing near
though
Blindness is confusing
it shows that
You're not here
now I feel
I'm growing older
and the songs that
I have sung
echo in the distance
Like the sound
of a windmill
Goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
I can hear the sound
Of a windmill
goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
a soldier of fortune
I guess I'll always be
a soldier of fortune

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.

Time it needs time
To win back your
love again
I will be there
I will be there
Love only love
can bring back
your love someday
I will be there
I will be there-

I'll fight babe
I'll fight
To win back your
love again
I will be there
I will be there
Love only love
Can break down
the walls someday
I will be there
I will be there
If we'd go again
All the way
from the start
I would try to change
The thing that killed
our love
your pride has
built a wall
So strong That
I can't get through
Is there really
no chance
To start once again
I'm loving you-

Try babe try
To trust in my
love again
I will be there
I will be there
Love our love
Just shouldn't
be throw
away I will be there
I will be there
If we'd go again
All the way
from the start
I would try to change
The thing that killed
our love
your pride has
built a wall
So strong That
I can't get through
Is there really
no chance
To start once again
If we'd go again
All the way
from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed
our love
Yes I've hurt you pride
and I know what
you've been through
You should give me
a chance
This can't be the end
I'm still loving you--
I'm still loving you--
I'm still loving you--
I need your love
I'm still loving you---

I'm still loving you--
I need your love
I'm still loving you--
I'm still loving you---

I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind
of change
on August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind
of change.

The world is closing in
did you ever think
That we could be so
close like brothers
the future's in the air
I can feel it
everywhere
Blowing with the wind
of change
Take me to the
magic of the moment
on a glory night
Where the children of
tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change
Walking down the street
Distant memories Are
buried in the past
forever
I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind
of change
Take me to the
magic of the moment
on a glory night
Where the children of
tomorrow share their
dreams with you and me
Take me to the
magic of the moment
on a glory night
Where the children of
tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change
The wind of change
blow straight
into the face of time
Like a storm wind
that will ring
the freedom bell
For peace of mind
Let your
balalaika sing
What my Guitar
wants to say.

Take me to the
magic of the moment
on a glory night
Where the children of
tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change
Take me to the
magic of the moment
on a glory night
Where the children of
tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change.

When I was a
little bitty baby
My mama would
rock me in the cradle
In them old
cotton fields back home
It was down
in Louisiana
Just about a mile
from Texarkana
In them old
cotton fields back home
Oh when them
cotton bolls get rotten
You can't pick
very much cotton
In them old
cotton fields back home
It was down
in Louisiana
Just about a mile
from Texarkana
In them old
cotton fields back home
When I was a
little bitty baby
My mama would
rock me in the cradle
In them old
cotton fields back home
It was down
in Louisiana
Just about a mile
from Texarkana
In them old
cotton fields back home
Oh when them
cotton bolls get rotten
You can't pick
very much cotton
In them old
cotton fields back home
It was down
in Louisiana
Just about a mile
from Texarkana
In them old
cotton fields back home

When I was a
little bitty baby
My mama would
rock me in the cradle
In them old
cotton fields back home
It was down
in Louisiana
Just about a mile
from Texarkana
In them old
cotton fields back home
In them old
cotton fields back home

I'm not in love
so don't forget it
It's just
a silly phase
I'm going through
and just because
I call you up
don't get me wrong
Don't think
you've got it made
I'm not in love no no
it's because
I like to see you
but then again
That doesn't mean
you mean
That much to me
so if I call you
Don't make a fuss
don't tell
Your friends
about the two of us
I'm not in love
no no it's because-

I keep your picture
upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain
that's lying there
So don't you ask me
to give it back
I know you know
it doesn't mean
That much to me
I'm not in love
No no it's because ooh
you'll wait
A long time for me
ooh you'll wait
A long time
ooh you'll wait
A long time for me
ooh you'll wait
A long time
I'm not in love
So don't forget it
it's just
A silly phase
I'm going through
And just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong
don't think
You've got it made
I'm not in love
I'm not
in love-

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-

The changing
of sunlight
To moonlight
reflections of my life
Oh how they fill
my eyes
The greetings
of people in trouble
Reflections
of my life
Oh how they fill
my eyes
All my sorrow
sad tomorrow
Oh take me back
to my old home
All my crying
feel I'm dying dying
Take me back
to my old home-

I'm changing arranging
I'm changing
I'm changing
ev'rything
Oh ev'rything
around me
The world is
a bad place
A bad place
a terrible place
To live oh but
I don't want to die
All my sorrow
sad tomorrow
Oh take me back
to my old home
All my crying
feel I'm dying dying
Take me back
to my old home
All my sorrow
sad tomorrow
Oh take me back
to my old home-

I don't drink coffee
I take tea my dear
I like my toast done
on the side
And you can hear it
in my accent
When I talk
I'm an Englishman
In New York
see me walking down
Fifth avenue
a walking cane here
At my side
I take it everywhere
I walk
I'm an Englishman
In New York
uh- I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
In New York uh-
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
In New York
if manners maketh
Man as someone said
then he's the hero
Of the day
it takes a man
To suffer ignorance
and smile
Be yourself no matter
what they say uh-
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
in New York uh-
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
in New York
Modesty propriety
can lead to notoriety
You could end up
as the only one
Gentleness sobriety
are rare
In this society
at night
A candle's brighter
than the sun-

Takes more than combat
gear to make a man
Takes more than
license for a gun
Confront your enemies
avoid them
When you can
a gentleman will walk
But never run
if 'manners maketh
Man' as someone said
then he's the hero
Of the day
it takes a man
To suffer ignorance
and smile
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say-

I memorize the
note you sent
Go all the places
that we went
I seem to search
the whole day through
For anything
that's part of you
I kept a ribbon
from your hair
A breath of perfume
lingers there
It helps to cheer me
when I'm blue
Anything
that's part of you
Oh how it hurts
to miss you so
When I know
you don't love me
Anymore
to go on needing you
Knowing you
don't need me
No reason left
for me to live
What can I take
what can I give
When I'd give
all of someone new
For anything
that's part of you-

Oh how it hurts
to miss you so
When I know
you don't love me
Anymore
to go on needing you
Knowing you
don't need me
No reason left
for me to live
What can I take
what can I give
When I'd give
all of someone new
For anything
that's part of you-

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 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-

Life is a moment
in space
When the dream
is gone
It's a lonelier
place
I kiss the morning
goodbye
But down
inside
You know
we never know why
The road is narrow
and long
When eyes meet
eyes
And the feeling
is strong
I turn away
from the wall
I stumble
and fall
But I give you
it all
I am a woman
in love
And I'd
do anything
To get you
into my world
And hold you within
It's a right
I defend over and
over again
What do
I do?
With you
eternally mine in love
There is no
measure of time
We planned it all
at the start
That you and I live in
each other's heart
We may be oceans away
you feel my love
I hear
what you say
The truth is
ever a lie
I stumble
and fall
But I give you
it all

And hold you within
It's a right
I defend over
and over again
What do
I do?
I am a woman
in love
And I'm talking to you
I know how you feel
What a woman can do
It's a right
I defend over
and over again
I am a woman
in love
And I'd
do anything
To get you
into my world
And hold you within
It's a right
I defend over and
over again
I am a woman
in love
And I'd
do anything
To get you
into my world
And hold you within
It's a right
I defend over and
over again

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

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.

Such a feelings
coming over me
there is
wonder in most
everything I see
not a cloud in the sky
got the sun in my eyes
and I
won't be surprised
if it's a dream
everything
I want the world to be
is now coming
true especially
for me
and the reason
is clear
it's because
you are here
you're the nearest
thing to
heaven that I've seem
I'm on the
top of the world
looking
down on creation
and the only
explanation I can find
is the love
that I've found ever
since you've
been around
your loves
put me at the
top of the
world-

Something in the wind
has learned my name
and it's telling me
that things are not
the same in the leaves
on the trees
and the touch of
the breeze
there's a pleasing
sence of happiness
for me
There is only
one wish on my mind
when this day is
through I hope
that I will find
that tomorrow
will be just the
same for you and me
all I need will be
mine if you are here
I'm on the
top of the world
looking
down on creation
and the only
explanation I can find
is the love
that l've found ever
since you're been
around your loves
put me at the
top of the world
I'm on the
top of the world
looking
down on creation
and the only
explanation I can find
is the love
that I've found ever
since you've been
around your loves
put me at the
top of the
world-

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

When you

Said that you

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-

Let me take you
far away
You'd like
a holiday
Let me take you
far away
You'd like
a holiday
Exchange
the cold days
For the sun
a good time and fun
Let me take you
far away
You'd like
a holiday

Let me take you
far away
You'd like
a holiday
Let me take you
far away
You'd like
a holiday
Exchange
your troubles
For some love
wherever you are
Let me take you
far away
You'd like
a holiday
Ooh- ah- ah- ah-
ah- ah-
Longing for the sun
you will come
To the island
without name
Longing for the sun
be welcome
On the island
many miles
Away from home
be welcome
On the island
without name
Longing for the sun
you will come
To the island
many miles
Away from home
away from home
Away from home
away from home

Sometimes
love will bloom
In the spring time
then my flowers
In summer
it will grow
Then fade away
in the winter
When the cold wind
begins to blow
But when it's
evergreen evergreen
It will last
through the summer
And winter too
when love is evergreen
Evergreen
like my love for you
So hold my hand
and tell me
You'll be mine
through laughter
And through tears
we'll let
The whole world see
our love
Will be evergreen
through all the years
But when it's
evergreen evergreen
It will last
through the summer
And winter too
when love is evergreen
Evergreen
like my love for you
