In Nineteen Sixty Seven the draft caught up with me, Me and my pal Joe went off to war. We might find hero's heaven, but we'd keep the country free. We would surely win just like before. Roy Rogers he was on his horse, and Buck Jones drew his gun. We woul...

Windows in a silent room, Sunlight burns the walls to black. Angles and dimensions melt While colors drip and pillows crack- Reflections of my memories like pictures pasted on a sheet, A ribbon film of seperate frames Lying curled up at my feet. The film is j...

A long, long time ago... I can still remember How that music used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance That I could make those people dance And, maybe, they'd be happy for a while. But february made me shiver With every paper I'd deliver. B...

Your eyes once told me a story, I built my castles on air Lifesoon was dimmed of its glory, I loved you but you ceased to care You broke the news to me kindly I can't say that you were unfair Yet, just because i loved blindly I have the burden to bear Ther...

Just walk on out the door, it's all over Forgivin' you is just a waste of time I don't believe that I'll live to regret it You're ancient history to this heart of mine So many times I've heard the same old stories Why, any fool can learn to read between...

And I love you so. The people ask me how, How I’ve lived till now. I tell them I don’t know. I guess they understand How lonely life has been. But life began again The day you took my hand. And, yes, I know how lonely life can be. The shadows follow me, and...

I don't know why I did it, I guess I lost my head I should have said 'I love you' but used angry words instead Angry words that were so unfair Angry words, I should have said 'I care' It's easy to apologize, it's harder to forget You made the loving eas...

Singing in 'rounds', first person sings once right through, then second person starts when first person reaches second verse, third person when second reaches second verse, and so on... By the waters The waters Of Babylon. We lay down and wept...

'Round and 'round, the years go 'round and 'round And many a dream is lost in the nasty city sound Now she's down and out, everyone's above her Tried everything a gal could try She takes the notion that nobody loves her And here's the reason why She ca...

I got no money, got no job, I'm just another shufflin' slob. Well we've all been disappointed, we've had our dreams before. For with dreams you learn to take your turn In a world that don't believe in nothin' anymore. Some believe in Jesus. They don't act...

If I could say the things I feel, it wouldn't be the same Some things are not spoken of, some things have no name Though the words come hard to me, I'll say them just for you For this is something rare for me this feeling is so new You see I love the way...

I coulda been most anything I put my mind to be, But a cowboy's life was the only life for me. It's a strong man's occupation ridin' herd and livin' free, But strong men often fail Where shrewd men can prevail, I'm an old man now with nothin' left to say,...

I'm building my body I'm happy when I'm building my body I'm tired of fighting, let's make friends I'm tired of burning both ends That's why I'm building my body It hurts me but I'm building my body And I know what the pain is worth I know I feel the pain of b...

Love is funny or it's sad, Or it's quiet or it's mad, It's a good thing or it's bad, But beautiful! Beautiful to take a chance And if you fall, you fall, And I'm thinking I wouldn't mind at all. Love is tearful or it's gay. It's a problem or it's play, It's...

And if she asks you why you can tell her that I told you That I'm tired of Castles in the Air I've got a dream I want the world to share in castle walls Just leave me to despair Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky A dream come true, I'll l...

Sometimes when I'm thinkin' that love's not around My heart begins sinkin', I don't hear a sound And the world is in blackness, no light shines on me I suffer no blindness, no one can I see Then a flash from the heavens like a loud jagged wire And the silence...

Must you dance every dance with the same fortunate man? You have danced with him since the music began. Won't you change partners and dance with me? Must you dance quite so close with your lips touching his face? Can't you see I'm longing to be in his place? W...

I could have loved her, but she would change her mind. I couldn't leave her 'cause when her sweet face shined I could believe in all her dreams and lies But I could not leave those crazy eyes. Her clothes just suit her, there's no one cuter But watch you...

I've got nothing on my mind, Nothing to remember, Nothing to forget. And I've got nothing to regret. But I'm all tied up on the inside, No one knows quite what I've got, And I know that on the outside What I used to be I'm not anymore. You know I've...

Don't worry 'bout me, it's all over now Though I may be blue, I'll manage somehow. Love can't be explained, can't be controled One day it's warm, next day it's cold. Don't pity me, 'cause I'm feeling blue Don't be ashamed it might happen to you. Oh, oh, oh, o...

I feel the trembling tingle of a sleepless night, Creep through my fingers and the moon is bright. Beams of blue come flickering through my windowpane, Like Gypsy moths that dance around a candle flame. And I wonder if you know, that I never understood,...

Timber, timber, timber, Timber, timber, timber. Oh, the mountains high, down the canyons wide Let me roam and ride, ride thru timber When the day is done, by the campfire's gleam Let me lie and dream, dream of timber. Tall timber's callin', and the ech...

As I was a-gwine down the road, With a tired team and a heavy load, I crack'd my whip and the leader sprung, I says day-day to the wagon tongue. Turkey in the straw, turkey in the hay, Roll 'em up and twist 'em up a high tuckahaw And twist 'em up a tune...

Starry, starry night... Paint your palette blue and grey Look out on a summer's day With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and daffodils Catch the breeze and the winter chills In colours on the snowy linen land Now I...

What will the world be like when you're on your own? What will the world be like when you're almost grown? What will the world be like when you pack your things, when you leave your home? What in the world will tomorrow bring? Will you be safe in the swe...

When a good thing goes bad, it's not the end of the world. It's the end of a world that you had with a girl. Though it's hard to admit that the memory's sad when you think what you had, when a good thing goes bad. Love is so strange, it's a mystery to me. It'...

In someone's hand there is a land Where I must surely go, where she is To learn what she must know When she gives all her love away To him that seems as in her dreams Unbroken by the storm on the sea But quiet deep and warm ever free To give his love away An...

It's a wonderful night and the music is right Will you dance with me and hold me tight? I don't know why I feel this way It's how I feel when they start to play That old song we heard so long ago That I wonder if I can remember every word It's amazing how fa...
