Night Flight - Lyrics - Justin Hayward

Title: Night Flight
Artist: Justin Hayward
Composer(s): Justin Hayward, Jeff Wayne

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
We were two lonely travelers
In the sky that night
Two lonely travelers, high flying
Alone in the night on an endless flight

Killing time with polite conversation
Killing time in your shy hesitating way
Killing time, killing my isolation

Two lonely travelers breaking ice
By opening up a few old back pages

We were two golden eagles in the sky today
Two golden eagles high flying
Who swept through the air
To a secret lair

Flying free, slowly, wheeling and gliding
Flying free on the sea and the high plateau
Flying free on the breeze without trying

Two lonely travelers breaking ice
By opening up a few old back pages
And letting secrets out of their cages
But wanting to remain perfect strangers

'Cos I was on a night flight, floating above the world
Yes, it was the moonlight, painting the wings in pearl
High above the clouds. high above the world

Yes, I was on a night flight, lost in a different world
I can see the starlight, silver, a gypsy girl
High above the clouds, high above the world

We were two lonely travelers
In the sky that night
Two lonely travelers, high flying
Alone in the night on an endless flight

Killing time with polite conversation
Killing time in your shy hesitating way
Killing time, killing my isolation

Two lonely travelers breaking ice
By opening up a few old back pages
And letting secrets out of their cages
But wanting to remain perfect strangers

'Cos I was on a night flight, floating above the world
Yes, it was the moonlight, painting the wings in pearl
High above the clouds, high above the world

Yes, I was on a night flight, lost in a different world
I can see the starlight, silver, a gypsy girl
High above the clouds, high above the world

Yes, I was on a night flight, floating above the world
Yes, it was the moonlight, painting the wings in pearl
High above the clouds, high above the world

Yes, I was on a night flight, floating above the world
Yes, it was the moonlight, painting the wings in pearl
High above the clouds, high above the world

Out Among The Stars - Lyrics - Merle Haggard

Title: Out Among The Stars
Artist: Merle Haggard
Composer(s): Adam Mitchell

Lyric:
It's midnight at a liquor store in Texas
Beneath the neon, close up's just begun
When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol
He can't find a job but man, he's found a gun

But a change of heart before there's confrontation
Lets the old man live and run out in the street
But he knows that soon they'll come with guns a blazing
And already he can feel a great relief

Oh, how many travelers get weary
Bearing both their burdens and their scars?
Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining
And fly like eagles, out among the stars?

He pictures the arrival of the cruisers
Sees that old familiar anger in their eyes
He knows that when they're shooting at this loser
They'll be aiming at the demons in their lives

Oh, how many travelers get weary
Bearing both their burdens and their scars?
Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining
And fly like eagles, out among the stars?

The evening news, it carries all the details
He dies in every living room in town
And in his home, a bottle's thrown in anger
And his father cries, "We'll never live this down"

Oh, how many travelers get weary
Bearing both their burdens and their scars?
Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining
And fly like eagles out among the stars
Oh, oh, and fly like eagles out among the stars?

Farewell, Farewell - Lyrics - Fairport Convention

Title: Farewell, Farewell
Artist: Fairport Convention
Composer(s): Richard Thompson

Lyric:
Farewell, farewell to you, who would hear
You lonely travelers all
The cold north wind will blow again
The winding road does call

And will you never return to see
Your bruised and beaten sons?
Oh, I would, I would, if welcome I were
For they love me, every one

And will you never cut the cloth
Or drink the light to be?
And can you never swear a year
To anyone of we?

No, I will never cut the cloth
Or drink the light to be
But I'll swear a year to one who lies
Asleep along side of me

Farewell, farewell to you, who would hear
You lonely travelers all
The cold north wind will blow again
The winding road does call

Support Your Local Emperor - Lyrics - Travelers & Thieves - Blues Traveler

Title: Support Your Local Emperor
Album: Travelers & Thieves
Artist: Blues Traveler
Composer(s): Chan Kinchla, John Popper, Bobby Sheehan

Lyric:
Support your local emperor
Pay him tribute every time
Let it be known he holds your fate
From his fingertips shall flow the wine

Tell him when he speaks the air is sweet
Wherever he walks rose beds be laid
So that he may always feel secure
In the vast empire that he made

But could you tell me
What he's ever done for you?

I'm not the one that needed an army
I'm not the one that needed respect
I'm not the one that hopes they'll remember
I'm not the one that they'll likely forget

It seems no one's gonna walk where he's willing to walk
And with the ears of the bat and the eyes of a hawk
You can see that in the end, it's just a little bit of talk
But a rodent's always looking for some cat he can stalk
To meow for him, to meow for him

Remember once when you were young
It really was not all that long ago
You reached out your hand and it was met
You let your heart will tell you so

So bow your head, don't meet his eyes
Royalty speaks, you then reply
Someday he may find his throne is cold
Someday he may chance to wonder why

But could you tell me
What he's ever done for you?

I'm not the one that needed an army
I'm not the one that needed respect
I'm not the one that hopes they'll remember
I'm not the one that they'll likely forget

It seems no one's gonna walk where he's willing to walk
And with the ears of the bat and the eyes of a hawk
You can see in the end, it's just a little bit of talk
But a rodent's always looking for some cat he can stalk
To meow for him, to meow for him

Support your local emperor
Pay him tribute every time
Let it be known he holds your fate
From his fingertips shall flow all the wine

Tell him when he speaks the air is sweet
Wherever he walks rose beds be laid
Someday he may find his throne is cold
In the vast empire that he's made

On The Road To Kingdom Come - Lyrics - Harry Chapin

Title: On The Road To Kingdom Come
Artist: Harry Chapin
Composer(s): Harry F. Chapin

Lyric:
The Smoke Witch says, "Wahoo!"
And the Wise Man says, "Me too!"
And the Guru says, "Wazoo!"
So do what you do!

The priests stand in their pulpits
The Pope sits on his throne
The parishes are empty
And the choirboys on their own
Until the second coming
Yes, they're leaving us alone
And God in His heaven
Has decided to keep mum

'Cause He's just another traveler
On the Road to Kingdom Come
And all is said and done
He's just another one

Pity Mr. President
He can't do a thing
He says everywhere he went
We tried to make him sing
Our lonely White House resident
Says we should have made him King
Maybe then he could have saved us
From the truth we were hiding from

But he is just another traveler
On the Road to Kingdom Come
And all is said and done
He was just another one

The General's in his game room
But his Soldier won't salute
Ever since he was promoted
He can't pop his chute
His shrink says he is paranoid
'Bout communistic roots
So unfurl the flag boys
Start beating his drum

Yes we've got to get another straggler
On the Road to Kingdom Come
And all is said and done
He was just another one
He's another one

And the Smoke Witch says, "Wahoo!"
And the Wise Man says, "Me too!"
And the Guru says, "Wazoo!"
So do what you do!

Wow! The lead singers raucous
As he screams out the truth
Then the band hold a caucus
And decides to sell their youth

Our Manager he'll hawk us
As along as we're uncouth
And we'll call it revolution
But we'll crank out Bubble Gum
'Cause there's the margin doom for travelers
On the Road to Kingdom Come
And all is said and done
He's just another one

Grampa swung into the orgy
It was his last hope
He was dressed to the nines
In deodorant and scope
And they found him a woman
She brought vaseline and soap
Well it started out exciting
But it ended up ho hum
She said, "I thought that you could take me
All the way to Kingdom Come"
When all is said and done
He's just another one grampa

So Billy sells hot sermons
And cold wars through the mails
While Mr. Big is selling out
His business never fails
And King Kennedy like Chaucer's
Chasing Canterbury Tales
And though my brain is still a virgin
The rest of me is well done
Don't you know we're all just travelers
On the Road to Kingdom Come
And just a, just a, just another one
When all is said and done
Yeah just another one

And the Smoke Witch says, "Wahoo!"
And the Wise Man says, "Me too!"
And the Guru says, "Wazoo!"
So do what you do!

Do what you do!
Do what you do!
Do what you do!

All In The Groove - Lyrics - Travelers & Thieves - Blues Traveler

Title: All In The Groove
Album: Travelers & Thieves
Artist: Blues Traveler
Composer(s): John Popper

Lyric:
Sometimes when you worry
The tendency to hurry
Can make your vision blurry
And blind you
You might shake and you might stammer
Or dance like mc hammer
But could that pomp and glamour
Remind you
Of who you are and where you're going
And whose mind that you're blowing
And if your car needs towing
Don't move
Then calmly call the aaa you've got nothing to prove
As in all things, it's all in the groove

All in the groove

All in the groove

All in the groove

All in the groove

Well if it's your destiny don't fight it
War between the states unite it
It might be difficult but might it
Be worthwhile?
I ain't no solomon from babel
But my cards are on the table
And I swear that if I'm able
I'll run that mile
So if I'm rambling ignore me
If on the money then adore me
You know the pearls are cast before me
Oh what to do?
Wish I could put it in a picture and hang it in the louvre
But like I said before it's all in the groove

All in the groove

All in the groove

All in the groove

All in the groove

The jam it swings and sways
As the groove funkily plays
And they say crime never pays
But this ain't no crime
It's just a life blood flowing water
That any son or daughter
Would send away for order
A celebration of time
So jam on, jam out, jam it in
Till it feels like it's a sin
And that's only when you begin
To improve
Don't mind if it's the rhythm that's just only when you've
Got to let it all be all in the groove

All in the groove

All in the groove

All in the groove

All in the groove

All in the groove

All in the groove

Optimistic Thought - Lyrics - Travelers & Thieves - Blues Traveler

Title: Optimistic Thought
Album: Travelers & Thieves
Artist: Blues Traveler
Composer(s): John Popper

Lyric:
When she wakes it seems so shady
She remembers she's a lady
Ah, but could it be that maybe
She was having lots of fun

She sees she's wearing leather
In her navel there's a feather
She just has to crack a smile
And close her eyes, her prayer begun

She says, life I embrace you
I shall honor and disgrace you
Please forgive if I replace you
You see I'm going through some pain

But now I see clearly
And the dawn is coming nearly
And though I'm human and it's early
I swear I'll never forget again

An explorer he went wanderin'
To satisfy his ponderin'
Basically meanderin'
Unsure of what he'd find

Braving any danger
But to his family he's a stranger
And from time to time he turns around
And this runs through his mind

He says, life I embrace you
I shall honor and disgrace you
Please forgive if I replace you
You see I'm going through some pain

But now I see clearly
And the dawn is coming nearly
And though I'm human and it's early
I swear I'll never forget again

There's a multitude of story
Some is clean and some is gory
But there is no need to worry
If you're sold or if you're bought

We're just spinning on some granite
That we like to call a planet
And if you need to contemplate
Well, here's an optimistic thought

Life I embrace you
I shall honor and disgrace you
Please forgive if I replace you
You see I'm going through some pain

But now I see clearly
And the dawn is coming nearly
And though I'm human and it's early
I swear I'll never forget again

Oh, life I embrace you
I shall honor and disgrace you
Please forgive if I replace you
You see I'm going through some pain

But now I see clearly
And the dawn is coming nearly
And though I'm human and it's early
I swear I'll never forget again
I swear I'll never forget again

Sweet Pain - Lyrics - Travelers & Thieves - Blues Traveler

Title: Sweet Pain
Album: Travelers & Thieves
Artist: Blues Traveler
Composer(s): John Popper

Lyric:
If Cyrano De Bergerac
Fell prey to the blades of fifty men
With a heart and a sword
He'd drive them back

Perchance to see Roxanne's
Eyes light up the sky again
When beauty kind and full of grace
Again denied the beast her hand

The beast he turned
And hid his face
And tried with all his might
And magic to understand

And once upon a time
You know I used to wonder why
You know no one should need to cry

In pain of a heart forbade to fly
But you learn to say goodbye
As you whisper beneath a sigh

Sweet pain, can't you plainly see?
Sweet pain, you know it matters to me
Sweet pain, won't you make me feel at home?
Sweet pain, don't you dare leave me alone

Sometimes a life that seems hard to take
Is soothed for a while by an old friend
Leaving a bad need in its wake
Sad how, some friendships
Never ever seem to end, never end

All of my heroes up and died
Songs and a dream are left for me
What did them in, not suicide
Just a lengthy friendship
And a dream of how it could be

And isn't it a crime?
Was it more than they could bear?
You know they did not even care at all

And they might have something there
But I'm here and I don't see where
All I hear is their silent prayer

Sweet pain, is it so terribly wrong?
Sweet pain, to want to come along
Sweet pain, won't you make me smile?
Sweet pain, if only for a while

Can you feel what I feel?
So we can establish that the pain is real
Don't be afraid and I'll do the same for you
And we'll just hang on
And we'll make it, make it through

There's got to be a reason it works out this way
And there's something deep inside me
That makes me have to play
For you, for you

In no position to give advice
My heart it spoke and I wrote it down
And you know every wisdom has its price
My head up in the stars
And my feet planted firmly on the ground

When will I embrace this life I see?
I've been wondering for so long
Thinking back, the truth may be
I've been unaware but I've been living it all along

And it didn't cost a dime
And it did not come for free
It just would not let me be

But it never conquered me
Just a doorway and a key
And I think that we both agree

Sweet pain, is sometimes what you need
Sweet pain, it allows the blood to bleed
Sweet pain, from the moment of your birth
Sweet pain, you know it keeps you here on earth

Brother Of Mine - Lyrics - Yes

Title: Brother Of Mine
Artist: Yes
Composer(s): John Roy Anderson, Geoff Downes, Steve Howe, Bill Bruford, Rick Wakeman

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
So giving all the love you have
Never be afraid to show your heart
So giving all the love you have
There is a special reason, a special reason

In the big dream
We are heroes
We are dreamers
Of the big dream

Someone told me
There are brothers
Live forever
In the big sky

Just hear your voice
Sing all the songs of the earth
Nothing can come between us
You're a brother of mine

Sing out your sisters
All the dreams of the world
Nothing can come between us
We are the travelers of time

See the desert
We have walked the path
Of all the known religions

In the big dream
We are brothers, we are sisters
Of the big dream

Just hear your voice
Sing all the songs of the earth
Nothing can come between us
You're a brother of mine

Sing out your sisters
All the dreams of the world
Nothing can come between us

Took me by surprise
It opened up my eyes
I can't believe we're ready to
Run another, run another, run another

Fourth dimension dream
All the way it seems
I can't believe we're running to
See the world for what it really is
In the full moon

Friends - Lyrics - Elton John

Title: Friends
Artist: Elton John
Composer(s): Elton John, Bernie Taupin

Lyric:
I hope the day will be a lighter highway
For friends are found on every road
Can you ever think of any better way
For the lost and weary travelers to go?

Making friends for the world to see
Let the people know you got what you need
With a friend at hand you will see the light
If your friends are there then every thing's all right

It seems to me a crime that we should age
These fragile times should never slip us by
A time you never can or shall erase
As friends together watch their childhood fly

Making friends for the world to see
Let the people know you got what you need
With a friend at hand you will see the light
If your friends are there then every thing's all right

Making friends for the world to see
Let the people know you got what you need
With a friend at hand you will see the light
If your friends are there then every thing's all right

Composer(s): Jason Crowe Clark, Nicholas Dewitt, Derek James Fudesco, Leona K Marrs, Andrea Zollo

Lyric:
Violet, it bleeds purple behind lucid eyes
Negatives flash reverse of real life
Promises made with India ink
Bit your lip there's a flush in your cheeks

Hold it, hold it
Hold it, hold it

Mercury pir of travelers and thieves
Grant us speed, wisdom, and winged feet
Flying through the night, thunderbolt blinding temporary
Born of foam, we ride through moon colored streets
There's lightening in our hair

Wildcat
Turn the volume turn the tone
Wildcat
I'm in stereo

Pull me close, tell it will always feel so right
In the cold chill of a crisp October night
Can you take a moment turn it infinite?
Tell me, love is eternal

Love Mistake - Lyrics - Passionworks - Heart

Title: Love Mistake
Album: Passionworks
Artist: Heart
Composer(s): Nancy Wilson

Lyric:
K.C., take another sip-o-wine
You gotta get her off your mind
You can talk about your heartbreak to me
Ho, K.C. I wish it could be easy
Just another lesson of the heart

K.C., we were feelin' out of place
So we made our own escape
In that New York cafe place to be
Outsiders, travelers, you and me
We were laughing about it, kept us out of reach

I won't forget that night
I won't forget that light
Through the windows and the lace
Making patterns on your face

Exposed with all your pain
I know it hurts the worst
That very first love mistake

You said, "We'll still be sitting here again someday"
Laughing at ourselves this way
After time has healed and made it right
We'll still be looking in each other's eyes
And through it all, it's friends who will survive

I won't forget that night
I won't forget that light
Through the windows and the lace
Making patterns on your face

Exposed with pain
I know it hurts the worst
That very first love mistake

The Unwelcome Guest - Lyrics - Wilco

Title: The Unwelcome Guest
Artist: Wilco
Composer(s): Billy Bragg, Woody Guthrie

Lyric:
To the rich man's bright lodges, I ride in this wind
On my good horse, I call you, my shiny Black Bess
To the playhouse of fortune, to take the bright silver
And gold you have taken from somebody else

And as we go riding, in the damp foggy midnight
You snort, my good pony and you give me your best
For you know and I know, good horse 'mongst the rich ones
How oftimes we go there, an unwelcome guest

I never took food from the widows and orphans
And never a hardworking man I oppressed
So take your pace easy, for home soon like lightning
We soon will be riding, my shiny Black Bess

No fat rich man's pony, can ever overtake you
And there's not a rider from the east to the west
Who could hold you a light in this dark mist and midnight
When the potbellied thieves chase the unwelcome guest

I don't know, good horse, as we trot in this dark here
That robbing the rich is for worse or for best
They take it by stealing and lying and gambling
And I take it my way, my shiny Black Bess

I treat horses good and I'm friendly to strangers
I ride and your running makes my guns talk the best
And the rangers and deputies are hired by the rich man
To catch me and hang me, my shining Black Bess

Yes, they'll catch me napping, one day and they'll kill me
And then I'll be gone but that won't be my end
For my guns and my saddle will always be filled
By unwelcome travelers and other brave men

And they'll take the money and spread it out equal
Just like the Bible and the Prophets suggest
But men that go riding, to help these poor workers
The rich will cut down like an unwelcome guest

Pay Attention - Lyrics - Dilated Peoples

Title: Pay Attention
Artist: Dilated Peoples
Composer(s): Chris Oroc, Rakaa Taylor

Lyric:
Let me tell you somethin'
I'm 'bout to set it off, society watch me while I do it

Yo, yo, I buck shots, lick shots, take shots, give shots
Headliners know, this year we switch spots
Check it, I spit it for the righteous and the wretched
First came the live show, next came the records

With wax collectors with rap perfectors
With scratch, with dance, with graf protectors
Worldwide travelers in your sector
DJ Babu, come down selector

I raw here, I explore here, you like that
Where that comes from there's more there
This is warfare and we score fair
We don't stop till our flag swings in your air

I rap to build or I rap to ruin
Your whole career, yo, watch what you doin'

Let me tell you somethin'
I'm 'bout to set it off, society, watch me while I do it
(Pay attention)
I'm 'bout to set it off, society, watch me while I do it
(Watch and observe)

I'm 'bout to set it off, society, watch me while I do it
(Pay attention)
Watch me while I do it, watch me while I do it
(Watch and observe)

Let me tell you somethin'
I'm 'bout to set it off, society, watch me while I do it

Yo, yo, I'm a poet with the warrior spirit inside
Chokin' rappers out like hicks on and pride
We all share the same sun givin' us light
But remember, sink or swim, time winnin's a fight

Expansion team takes rows, takes oceans, takes flight
Then takes over the stage till the morning breaks night
Word of mouth crew, make sure we pay right
Then Hendrix takes over my body, I blaze mics

Spray 3-D outlines and highlights
I know lowlifes that are livin' the high life
At great heights, I exercise my rights
So much smoke, when I'm this high, I sky-write

Raaka raps to build or raps to ruin
Your whole career, yo, watch what you're doin'

Let me tell you somethin'
I'm 'bout to set it off, society, watch me while I do it
(Pay attention)
I'm 'bout to set it off, society, watch me while I do it
(Watch and observe)

I'm 'bout to set it off, society, watch me while I do it
(Pay attention)
Watch me while I do it, watch me while I do it
(Watch and observe)

Let me tell you somethin'
I'm 'bout to set it off, society, watch me while I do it

I rock hills and valleys, rap shows and rallys
Record stores and schools, live shit from Cali
Take it to the people, cut out the middle men
Like Chuck said, "I don't rhyme for the sake of riddlin"

I rap to build or I rap to ruin
Your whole career, yo, watch what you're doin'

Let me tell you somethin'
I'm 'bout to set it off, society, watch me while I do it
I'm 'bout to set it off, society, watch me while I do it
(Pay attention)

Watch me while I do it, watch me while I do it

Let me tell you somethin'
I'm 'bout to set it off, society, watch me while I do it

Blue guitar, fortune of my ways
Making of my days
New chord, counting up the ways
Happiness is lazy

If you don't know the song
If you can't put the words to the tune
Tell the rhyme from the reason
What should it matter
To the fool or the dreamer

New hope, travelers in a storm
Finding love is warm
New day, the world has just begun
Our eyes have seen the sun

If you don't know the way
If you can't see the wood for the trees
Taste the wine from the water
Well, what should it matter
To the fool or the dreamer

Godspell - Lyrics - Cardigans

Title: Godspell
Artist: Cardigans
Composer(s): Peter Svensson, Nina Persson, Nathan Larson

Lyric:
I've heard about a great big swindle
I read about it in a book
The book flew out the window
Was later found by thieves and crooks

And now they're singin' Hallelujah
I'm wonderin' just what did they find
They say, "What's it to ya?
Just take a place in line"

And wait, so I wait, I wait and wait and I

I?m one of a few survivors
In a drawer labeled lost and found
Moon travelers and deep sea divers
Whose oxygen supply ran out

Now maybe if their Gods be willin'
They'll give us somethin', fill our empty cups
Sit down in the boat, don?t spill it
Or we'll just have to line back up

And wait, so we wait, we wait and wait, yes we wait
And we wait, we will wait, we will wait 'til we

You can hear it in the beat they march to
And you can feel the Earth shake when they start to dance
You can tell by the way they move you
It's not murder, it's an act of faith, baby

And as the world moves faster
Whiplashin' us round and round
It's quite a slow disaster
But people keep on fallin' down

As we wait, we wait and we wait
We wait and we wait, we wait, Hallelujah

Pretty, Pretty Star - Lyrics - The Future Embrace - Billy Corgan

Title: Pretty, Pretty Star
Album: The Future Embrace
Artist: Billy Corgan
Composer(s): Billy Corgan

Lyric:
Wind a spire survey the hours I'm secrets, secrets
Spillin' on the floor
Find a love a just because I need you so much
Beggin' till I'm poor
Wanting so much more this hurts kid
Strangers find the eyes just the same

Every time I start reachin' out to find you
Loneliness abounds
Pretty, pretty star, only you remind me
Only you can find me, in you
In all I choose

Wait remind my life is mine so many travelers
Carry past the word, flowers jake the sun afraid
I'm blinkin' softly wishin' on your name
Wonderin' who to blame next
Low this crawlin' towards the door, just the same

Every time I start reachin' out to find you
Loneliness abounds
Pretty, pretty star, only you remind me
That only love can blind

Every time I start, emptiness confounds me
Loneliness astounds me
Pretty, pretty star
It's me and you in all I choose

Show me there's no other
Tell me, I'm your lover
Make me wonder who you are to stay
Finish what you started
Vanquish your departed
Others wiltin' in the shade

Can I ask where you are tonight?
Do you know where I am right now?
Pretty, pretty star, emptiness surrounds me
Loneliness confounds
Pretty, pretty star only you remind me
That only love can find, in you

Song For Remembered Heroes - Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

Title: Song For Remembered Heroes
Artist: Nanci Griffith
Composer(s): Nanci Griffith

Lyric:
Well it's that old time story of a new face to glory
Someone wanted my soul for their pride
What about the system of fools arranged for missing
Well, I can't lie, they all pass with time

Why do my people come and go?
I keep on leaving them behind and Lord, I miss them so
I've watched my heroes change from silver into gold
As the time goes, only memories grow

It's your smiles that I remember
The dreams of the young and tender
Coming real, but now it seems
That highways are for foolish travelers
Always bonded, always shackled by the prayer
They're remembered in our dreams

Why do my people come and go?
I keep on leaving them behind and Lord, I miss them so
I've watched my heroes change from silver into gold
As the time goes, only memories grow

I am just a bar-room child tried so hard to learn the style
Of your drunken tears, the way they smile
I guess I'll never learn the rules, I still play the simple fool
Who loves without the chains of lies

Why do my people come and go?
I keep on leaving them behind and Lord, I miss them so
I've watched my heroes change from silver into gold
As the time goes, only memories grow
As the time goes, only memories grow

Station Master - Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

Title: Station Master
Artist: Gordon Lightfoot
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot

Lyric:
In the dawn's early light
From a long and a sleepless night
She returned again this morning
From her long and restless flight

And my red hollow eyes
Did not show her much surprise
As she lay right down beside me
Like she never said goodbye

Please help me station master
Is the evening train on time?
The well's run dry up yonder
There's another down the line

It was all I could bear
Just to watch her lying there
Disowned and ragged princess
With the sun locked in her hair

So cold, so frail
With her mind locked in a jail
The victim of confusion
Never knowing she could fail

Please help me station master
Is the evening train on time?
The well's run dry up yonder
There's another down the line

So I rocked her to sleep
Then I got up on my feet
And the day was filled with sunshine
As I gazed across the street

And the door seemed to say
Over here, step this way
The station is for travelers
Even you must ride someday

Please help me station master
Is the evening train on time?
The well's run dry up yonder
There's another down the line

Please help me station master
Can I stay for just a while?
Forgive me if I'm weary
I ain't had much, much time to smile

The Unwelcome Guest - Lyrics - Billy Bragg

Title: The Unwelcome Guest
Artist: Billy Bragg
Composer(s): Billy Bragg, Woody Guthrie

Lyric:
To the rich man's bright lodges, I ride in this wind
On my good horse I call you my shiny Black Bess
To the playhouse of fortune to take the bright silver
And gold you have taken from somebody else

And as we go riding in the damp foggy midnight
You snort, my good pony and you give me your best
For you know, and I know, good horse 'mongst the rich ones
How oft times we go there an unwelcome guest

I never took food from the widows and orphans
And never a hard working man I oppressed
So take your pace easy for home soon like lightning
We soon will be riding my shiny Black Bess

No fat rich man's pony can e'er overtake you
There's not a rider from the east to the west
Could hold you a light in this dark mist and midnight
When the potbellied thieves chase their unwelcome guest

I don't know good horse as we trot in this dark here
If robbing the rich is for worse or for best
They take it by stealing and lying and gambling
And I take it my way, my shiny Black Bess

I treat horses good and I'm friendly to strangers
I ride and your running makes my guns talk the best
And the rangers and deputies are hired by the rich man
To catch me and hang me, my shining Black Bess

Yes, they'll catch me napping one day and they'll kill me
And then I'll be gone but that won't be my end
For my guns and my saddle will always be filled
By unwelcome travelers and other brave men

They'll take the money and spread it out equal
Just like the Bible and the prophets suggest
The men that go riding to help these poor workers
The rich will cut down like an unwelcome guest
