Here comes a wave
meant to wash me away
A tide that is
taking me under
Swallowing sand left
with nothing to say
My voice drowned out
in the thunder
But
I won't cry
And I won't start
to crumble
Whenever
they try
To shut me
or cut me down
I won't
be silenced
You can't keep me
quiet
Won't tremble
when you try it
All I know is
I won't go speechless
'Cause
I'll breathe
When they try
to suffocate me
Don't you
underestimate me
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
Written in stone
every rule every word
Centuries old
and unbending
Stay
in your place
Better seen
and not heard
Well now that story is
ending
'Cause I I cannot
start to crumble
So come on
and try
Try to shut me
and cut me down
I won't
be silenced
You can't keep me
quiet
Won't tremble
when you try it
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless
Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No I won't live
unspoken
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
Try to lock me
in this cage
I won't just
lay me down and die
I will take these
broken wings
And watch me burn
across the sky
Hear the echo
saying
I won't
be silenced
Though you wanna
see me tremble
When
you try it
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless
'Cause
I'll breathe
When they try
to suffocate me
Don't you
underestimate me
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless

So many nights
I'd sit by my window
waiting for someone
to sing me his song
So many dreams
I kept deep inside me
alone in the dark
but now
you've come along
and you
light up my life
you give me hope
to carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights
with song
Rollin' at sea
adrift on the waters
could it be fin'lly
I'm turning
for home fin'lly
a chance to say "hey!
I love you
never again
to be all alone
and you light up
my life
You give me hope
to carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights
with song
and you light up
my life
You give me hope
to carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights
with song
It can't be wrong
when it feels so
right cause you
you light up my
life.

The old home town
looks the same
As I step down
from the train
And there to meet me
is my Mama and Papa
And down the road
I look and
There runs mary
Hair of gold and
Lips like cherries
It's good to touch
The green green
grass of home
Yes they'll all come
to meet me
Arms a reaching
smiling sweetly
It's good to touch
the green green
grass of home
The old house
is still standing
Though the paint
is cracked and dry
and there's that
Old oak tree that
I used to play on
Down the lane I walk
with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and
lips like cherries
It's good to touch the
green green
grass of home
Then I awake
And look around me
at four grey walls
That surround me
and I realize
Yes that I was only
dreamming
For there's a guard
and there's a sad
Old padre Arm in arm
we'll walk
At daybreak again
I'll touch the
Green green
grass of home
Yes they'll all come
to see me
In the shade of
that old oak tree
As they lay me
beneath the
Green green
grass of home-

I don't
wanna talk
About the things
we've gone through
Though it's
hurting me
Now it's history
I've played
all my cards
And that's
what you've
done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
The winner
takes it all
The loser
standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny
I was in your arms
Thinking
I blonged there
I figured it
made sense
Building me a fence
Building me
a home Thinking
I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by
the rules
The gods may
throw a dice
Their minds
as cold as ice
And someone
way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner
takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and
it's plain
Why should I complain
But tell me does
she kiss like
I used to kiss you
Does it feel
the same
When she calls
your name
Somewhere
deep inside
You must know
I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed
The judges
will decide
The likes
of me abide
Spectators of
the show
Always staying low
The game in on again
A lover or
a friend
A big thing
or a small
The winner
takes it all
I don't wanna talk
If it makes you
feel sad
And I understand
You've come
to shake my hand
I apologize If it
makes you feel I bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
The winner
takes it all
The winner
takes it all

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

I see the
crystal raindrops fall
And the
beauty of it all
Is when the sun
comes shining through
To make those
rainbows in my mind
When I think
of you some time
And I want to spend
some time with you
Just the two of us
we can make it
If we try
just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
just the two of us
Building castles
in the sky
Just the two of us
you and I
We look for love
no time for tears
Wasted waters's
all that is
And it don't make no
flowers grow
Good things might
come to those
Who wait not to those
who wait to late
We got to go
for all we know
Just the two of us
we can make it
If we try
just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
just the two of us
Building castles
in the sky
Just the two of us
you and I

I hear the crystal
raindrops fall
On the window
down the hall
And it becomes
the morning dew
Darling, when the
morning comes
And I see
the morning sun
I want to be
the one with you
Just the two of us
we can make it
If we try
just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
just the two of us
Building castles
in the sky
Just the two of us
you and I
(Just the two of us)
just the two of us
(We can make it
just the two of us)
(Just the two of us)
just the two of us
(we can make it
just the two of us)
(Just the two of us
we can make it)
(Just the two of us
just the two of us)
(We can make it
just the two of us)
(Just the two of us
we can make it)
(Just the two of us
just the two of us)
(We can make it
just the two of us)
(Just the
two of us)

How many special
people change?
How many lives are
living strange?
Where were you while
we were getting high?
Slowly walking down
the hall
Faster than
a cannonball
Where were you while
we were getting high?
Someday you will
find me
Caught beneath
the landslide
In a champagne
supernova in the sky
Someday you will
find me
Caught beneath
the landslide
In a champagne
supernova
A champagne supernova
in the sky
Wake up the dawn
and ask her why
A dreamer dreams
she never dies
Wipe that tear away
now from your eye
Slowly walking down
the hall
Faster than
a cannonball
Where were you while
we were getting high?
Someday you will
find me
Caught beneath
the landslide
In a champagne
supernova in the sky
Someday you will
find me
Caught beneath
the landslide
In a champagne
supernova
A champagne
supernova
'Cause people believe
that they're
Gonna get away
for the summer
But you and I
we live and die
The world's still
spinning round
We don't know why
why why why why

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

Listen to the song
here in my heart
A melody I start
but can't complete
Listen to the sound
from deep within
It's only beginning
to find release
Oh the time
has come
For my dreams to
be heard
They will not
be pushed
Aside and turned
into your own
All cause you won't
listen
Listen I am
alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home
in my own home
And I've tried
and tried
To say whats
on my mind
You should
have known
Oh Now I'm done
believin you
You don't know
what I'm feelin
I'm more than
what you made of me
I followed the voice
you gave to me
But now I
gotta find my own
You should
have listened
There is
someone here inside
Someone I'd thought
had died So long ago
Oh I'm screamin'
out and
My dreams
will be heard
They will not be
pushed aside or worse
Into your own
all cause you won't
Listen
listen
I am alone at
a crossroads
I'm not at home
in my own home
And I've tried
and tried
To say whats
on my mind
You should
have known
Oh Now I'm done
believin you
You don't know
what I'm feelin
I'm more than
what you made of me
I followed the voice
you gave to me
But now I
gotta find my own
I don't know
where I belong
But I'll be
movin on
If you don't
if you won't
Listen
to the song
Here in my heart
a melody I've start
But I will complete
oh Now I'm done
Believin you
you don't know
What I'm feelin
I'm more than what
You made of me
I followed the voice
You think you
gave to me
But now I gotta find
my own my own

I never dared
to reach for the moon
I never thought I'd
know heaven so soon
I couldn't hope
to say how I feel
The joy in my heart
no words can reveal
Over and over and
I whisper your name
Over and over
and I kiss you again
I see the light
of love in your eyes
Love is forever
no more goodbye-

Now just a memory
the tears
That I cried
now just a memory
The sighs
that I sighed
Dreams
that I cherished
All have
come true
All my tomorrows
I give to you
Over and over and
I whisper your name
Over and over
and I kiss you again
I see the light
of love in your eyes
Love is forever
no more goodbye-

Life's summer leaves
may turn into gold
The love that we share
will never grow old
Here in your arms
no words far away
Here in your arms
forever I'll stay
Over and over and
I whisper your name
Over and over
and I kiss you again
I see the light
of love in your eyes
Love is forever
no more goodbye
Over and over and
I whisper your name
Over and over
and I kiss you again
I see the light
of love in your eyes
Love is forever
no more goodbye

Time can never mend
the careless whispers
Of a good friend
to the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
there's no comfort
In the truth pain is
all you'll find
Should've known
better yeah-

Oh-- oh-
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand
and lead you
To the dance floor
as the music dies
Something
in your eyes
Calls to mind
the silver screen
And all it's said
good-bye
I'm never gonna
dance again
Guilty feet have
got no rhythm
Though it's easy
to pretend
I know your not a fool
should've known
Better than
to cheat a friend
And waste the chance
that I've been given
So I'm never
gonna dance again
The way I danced
with you-- oh-
Time can never mend
the careless whispers
Of a good friend
to the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
there's no comfort
In the truth pain is
all you'll find
I'm never gonna
dance again
Guilty feet have
got no rhythm
Though it's easy
to pretend
I know your not a fool
should've known
Better than
to cheat a friend
And waste the chance
that I've been given
So I'm never gonna
dance again
The way I danced
with you oh--
Never without
your love-

Tonight the music
seems so loud
I wish that we could
lose this crowd
Maybe it's better
this way
We'd hurt each other
with the things
We'd want to say
we could have been
So good together
we could have lived
This dance forever
but no one's gonna
Dance with me
please stay
And I'm never gonna
dance again
Guilty feet
have got no rhythm
Though it's easy
to pretend
I know your not a fool
should've known
Better than
to cheat a friend
And waste the chance
that I've been given
So I'm never gonna
dance again
The way I danced
with you-- ah--
(Now that you're gone)
now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone)
what I did's
So wrong so wrong
that you had to
Leave me
alone-

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-

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-

Here I stand
all alone
Have my mind
turned to stone
Have my heart
filled up with ice
To avoid
it's breakin' twice
Thanks to you
my dear old friend
But you can't help
this is the end
Of a tale
that wasn't right
I won't have no sleep
tonight
In my heart
in my soul
I really hate to pay
this toll
Should be strong
young and bold
But the only thing
I feel is pain
It's alright
we'll stay friends
Trustin'
in my confidence
And let's say
it's just alright
You won't sleep alone
tonight
In my heart
in my soul
I really hate to pay
this toll
Should be strong
young and bold
But the only thing
I feel is pain-

With my heart
with my soul
Some guys cry
you bought and sold
They've been strong
young and bold
And they say play
this song again
In my heart
in my soul
I really hate to pay
this toll
Should be strong
young and bold
But the only thing
I feel is pain-

Every breath you take
every move you make
Every bond you break
every step you take
I'll be watching you
every single day
Every word you say
every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you
Oh can't you see
you belong to me
How my poor
heart aches
With every step
you take
Every move you make
every vow you break
Every smile you fake
every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
since you've gone
I've been lost
without a trace
I dream at night
I can only
See your face
I look around
But it's you
I can't replace
I feel
so cold
And I long for
your embrace
I keep crying baby
baby please-

Oh can't you see
you belong to me
How my poor
heart aches
With every step
you take
Every move you make
every vow you break
Every smile you fake
every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
every move you make
Every step you take
I'll be watching you-
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
Ooh-
I'll be watching you
I'll be
watching you-

I can show you
the world shining
Shimmering splendid
tell me princess
Now when did you last
let your heart decide
I can open your eyes
take you wonder
By wonder
over sideways
And wonder
on a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
a new fantastic
Point of view
no one to tell us
No or where to go
or say
We're only dreaming
a whole new world
A dazzling place
I never knew
But I from way up here
it's crystal clear
That now I'm in
a whole new world
With you
unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
soaring tumbling
Free wheeling
through an endless
Diamond sky
a whole new world
Don't you dare
close your eyes
A hundred thousand
things to see
I'm like
a shooting star
I'm come so far
I can't go back
To where I used to be
a whole new world
With new horizons
to pursue
I'll chase them
anywhere
There's time to spare
let me share
This whole new world
with you ooh--

A whole new world
a whole new world
A new fantastic
point of view
No one to tell us
no or where to go
A whole new world
with new horizons
To pursue
I'll chase them
Anywhere
there's time to spare
Anywhere--
there's time to spare
Let me share
this whole new world
With you- you--
a whole new world
A whole new world
that's where we'll be
Where we'll be
for you and me-

Left a good job
in the city
Working for the man
every night and day
And I never lost one
minute of sleeping
Worry in about the way
things might have been
Big wheel keep
on turning
Proud mary keep
on burning
Rolling rolling
rolling on the river
Cleaned a lot of
plates in Memplis
Pumped a lot of pain
down in New Orleans
But I never saw the
good side of the city
Until I hitched a ride
on a river bort queen
Big wheel keep
on turning
Proud mary keep
on burning
Rolling rolling
rolling on the river-

If you come down
to the river
But you gonna find
some people who live
You don't have to
worry because you
have no money
People on the river
are happy to give
Big wheel keep
on turning Proud mary
keep on burning
Rolling rolling
rolling on the river
Rolling rolling
rolling on the river
Rolling rolling
rolling on the river
Rolling rolling
rolling on the river-

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.

Where it began
I can't begin to knowin'
but then I know it's
growin' strong
Was in the spring
then spring became
the summer
Who'd a believed
you'd come along?
Hands touchin' hands
Reachin' out
touchin' me
touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
good times never
seemed so good
I've been inclined
to believe they
never would
Look at the night
and it don't
seem so lonely
we fill it up
with only two
and when I hurt
hurtin' runs off
my shoulders
How can I hurt when
holdin' you?
Warm touchin' warm
Reachin' out
touchin' me
touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
good times never
seemed so good
I've been
inclined to
believe they
never would-

Sweet Caroline
good times never
seemed so good
I've been inclined
to believe they
never would
Sweet Caroline
good times never
seemed so good
I've been inclined
to believe they
never would-

your touch along
Lonely time
And Time goes by
So slowly

So much Are you

Lonely rivers flow

To the open arms
