All That You Dream

I've been down, but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more
All, all that you dream
Comes through shinin silver lining
Clouds, clouds change the scene
Rain starts washing all love’s caution
Right into your life, ya start to Realize
Just what is true, what else can you do
You just follow the rule
Keep your eyes on the road that's ahead of you
I've been down, but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more
All of the good, good times were ours
In the land of milk and honey
And time, time adds it's scars
Rainy days they turn to sunny ones
Livin' the life, livin' the life lovin' everyone
I've been down, but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more
I've been down, but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more
I've been down, but not like this before

Sailin' Shoes
04:12

There's a lady in a turban
In a cocaine tree
And she does a dance so rhythmically
She's a crying and a singing
Havin' a time
But don't that cocaine tree look fine
But you gotta put on your sailin shoes
Put on your sailin shoes
Everyone will start to cheer
When you put on your sailin shoes
Doctor, doctor, I feel so bad
This is the worst day I ever had
Have you this misery a very long time?
Well if you if, I'll lay it on the line
But you gotta put on your sailin shoes
Put on your sailin shoes
Everyone will hip hooray
When you put on your sailin shoes
Jedidah
He's got a dime
Says he catches more fish every time
Well I've gotta line
If you've got a pole
Well I'll meet you at the fishing hole
But you gotta put on your sailin shoes
Put on your sailin shoes
Everyone will start to cheer
When you put on your sailin shoes
Said, everyone put on
Put on your sailin shoes

So you, you think the world looks crazy
And eats up your lies
Like it's good for her
Like apple pies (unison)
And she don't even cry
She is not a fool - OOS?
She's just tryin' to do
What her heart says to - Two part?
(To love you) - Unison >> oos?
To love you
As you take to the wind
(To the wind again, my friend) - unison, long on friend.
As she breaks down within
(Within, within, within) OCtaves
She waits for you patiently
Hopin' that one day you'll see
All she really wants to be
Is yours and yours alone, eternally
What do you want the girl to do
Don't you know you're breakin' the child in two
What do you want that girl to do
All she really wants is you
She knows what you are
Still she'll be your queen
You say the words today
And build your world around her
Now and then you'll promise
All the way-out things you're goin' to get her
(You will see, you will be)
(So damn glad you finally found )
(Free to go)
As she watched you come and go
(For your show)
And as she watched your promises erode
(Erode, erode, erode)
She waits for you patiently
Hopin' that someday you'll see
All she really wants to be
Is yours and yours alone, eternally
What do you want the girl to do, whoa
Don't you know you're breakin' the child in two
What do you want that girl to do, whoa
When all she really wants to be
Yours and yours eternally
What do you want the girl to do
Don't you know you're breakin' the child in two
What do you want that girl to do
All she really wants is you

Perfect Imperfection
04:47
|

There's a girl standin' on a corner
Watchin' love walk right out her door
Thought that love was like a shiny diamond
Blinded by the light, she did not see the flaw
Now she's lonely, standin' there for hours
Wishin' he would change his mind
Caught in that paradox of feelings
Wonderin' why the hurt when it used to feel so fine
Love is a perfect imperfection
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Whenever love comes your direction
Don't ya hide away, don't ya hide, don't ya hide
You know that there's no reason
For you to be alone
Just 'cause love's treason
Broke, broke you happy home
You can't celebrate
When all you feel is sufferin' heartache
Goin' down to that lonely corner
Sidewalk stretchin' out beneath my feet
Wish I could walk, walk right up to her
And tell her what I know of love
What I know, it ain't always so sweet
Love is a perfect imperfection
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Whenever love comes your direction
Don't ya hide away, don't ya hide, don't ya hide
Love is a perfect imperfection
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Whenever love comes your direction
Don't ya hide away, don't ya hide, don't ya hide

Roll Um Easy
02:21

Oh I am just a vagabond
A drifter on the run
And eloquent profanity
It rolls right off my tongue
And I have dined in palaces
Drunk wine with Kings and Queens
But darlin', oh darlin'
You're the best thing I've ever seen
Won't you roll me easy
Oh slow and easy
Take my independence
With no apprehension, no tension
You walki' talkin' dream paradise
Sweet pair a' dice
Well I been across this country
From Denver to the ocean
And I never met girls who could sing so sweet
Like the angels that live in Houston
Singin' "Roll me easy, so slow and easy...
Play that Concertina, I'll be your temptress... "
And baby I'm defenseless
Singin' harmony
In unison
Sweet harmony
Gotta hoist your flag and I'll beat your drum

Long Distance Love
02:43
|
|||
Oh, hello... Give me missing persons, they say
What is it that you need?
I said oh, I need her so...
They said you've
Got to stop your pleading
Cuz no matter what you do,
Even pray to heaven above,
All you’ll ever get from her is
Long distance love ohoooh ( 32121)
I read the papers
And I got the blues
I was so sad to hear the news
Help wanted, but not enough
You know these times are gettin' rough
Cause no matter what I do
I Even pray to heaven above
All I seem to get from her is long distance love
Ooo oh oo oh (Whoo-oo-oo)
You know her toes they were so pretty
And her lies so sweet
I wonder do she know
Do she know she hurt me so
Cause no matter what I do
Even pray to heaven above
All I seem to get from her is
Long distance love oh uhh haa
Long distance love
(oo-oo-oo)

Two Trains
04:26
|

In 1966 I found my love
In 1967 I had all there was
And as my time went by I was satisfied
Until that situation took me by surprise
Now there's two trains runnin' - on that line
One train's me, and the other's a friend of mine
You know it would be all right, be just fine
If the woman took one train, and left the other behind
Illusion it is just the same conclusion
I don't know how to play the game
Of what it is or how it's going to be
When one train is my friend and the other train is me
Easy, I say easy, I can't push or shove her
So I guess I really care
Now I'm not one to hide my love behind a lock and key
But if things keep going the way they are there's no place left for me
There's two trains runnin' - on that line
One train's me, and the other's a friend of mine
You know it would be all right, be just fine
If the woman took one train, and left the other behind
Two trains, two trains, two trains, two trains
