I Will Wait
Aboard his ship he
stops to stare
Needs to smell her
Touch her hair
Says I can't be without her
Tonight he's gonna be without her
It’s late now she says
Makes her mind up
Goes to bed
Another night alone without him
Another night alone in Charleston
When I wake to find the solace of
All that we've become
I can't wait to make the promises
That I've been leery of
Take me down
Let me see
I'll be there waiting
(I'll be there waiting for you)
In the morning when times have changed
I'll be there
Through the lies and all
I’ll be standing like your soldiers
And you hold your secrets
Through the days when I need to be alone
(I will wait)
I will wait for you
Through the rise and fall
She was left behind so they could stay
God to feel him
This she prays
It’d make her feel so much better
I wanna feel so much better
When I wake to find the solace of
All that we've become
I can't wait to make the promises
That I've been leery of
Take me down
Let me see
I'll be there waiting
(I'll be there waiting)
For you
In the morning when times have changed
I'll be there
Through the lies and all
I’ll be standing like your soldiers
And you
(You hold your secrets)
You
Through the days when I need to be alone
(I will wait)
I will wait for you
Through the rise and fall
When I wake to find the solace of
All, all we've become
I can't wait to make the promises
That I've been leery of
Take me down
Let me see
I'll, I’ll
(I'll be there waiting for you)
I'll be there
In the morning when times have changed
I'll be there
Through the lies and all
I’ll be standing like your soldiers
And you
(You hold your secrets)
You hold
Through the days when I need to be alone
(I will wait)
I will wait for you
Through the rise and fall
(I'll be there waiting for you)
I’ll be there
In the morning when times have changed
(I will wait)
I will wait for you
Through the rise and fall
Wishing
At least you tried
That's more than anyone around you
And if you lied
Would it fade out of your memory
Wishing it all away from you
Wishing is all you'll ever do
Wish I was here with you
Then I'd be fine
And if you died
Would they gather all around you
And if you cried
Would it wash away the misery
Wishing it all away from you
Wishing is all you'll ever do
Wish I was here with you
Then I'd be fine
It's worse at night
Spirits flying all around you
Without the light
They can take away your sanity
Wishing it all away from you
Wishing is all you'll ever do
Wish I was here with you
Then I'd be fine
Wishing it all away from you
Wishing is all you'll ever do
Wish I was here with you
Then I'd be fine
Las Vegas Nights
Las Vegas nights
Have been calling
But I wait to see her float down stairs
There she stands with her eyes full and
yearning
I look and I know I gotta be there
Is there another way
To bring her closer
Make her see I know we could be happy and then
Is there another chance
To bring her flowers
So she will only whisper my name
A chance to make things right for her
And make my lies seem true
And I'm begging you
(Don't go down)
To the station
Somehow we won't live that long
(Don't go now)
Desert flower ‘cause you just won't bloom
And your memories may need more room
See that mirror there
Will she look inside
To see the one I fear standing alone
And on my phonograph
Would she put them in
The songs that only remind her of me
A chance to make things right for her
And make my lies seem true
But I'm begging you
(Don't go down)
To the station
Somehow we won't live that long
(Don't go now)
Desert flower ‘cause you just won't bloom
And your memories may need more room
I step outside The Joint
To clouds of guilt and fear
There are shades of red dancing in view
Las Vegas nights
Make me wonder
How much longer we’ll be a fool now
A chance to make things right for her
And make my lies seem true
And I'm begging you
(Don't go down)
To the station
Somehow we won't live that long
(Don't go now)
Desert flower ‘cause you just won't bloom
And your memories may need more room
Don’t go
(Don't go down)
To the station
Somehow we won't live that long
(Don't go now)
Desert flower ‘cause you just won't bloom
And your memories may need more room
No
(Don't go down)
Don’t go down to the station
Somehow we won't live that long
(Don't go now)
Desert flower ‘cause you just won't bloom
And your memories they need more room
Only Lonely
Hello again
Your words they make me smile
As I drift away
In my little room upstairs
Oh I spend my nights
Imagining your face your touch
Then I realize
How I don't even know your name
If we could share our time
Would I disappoint your fantasies
But I believe that I could be the one you’re needing ‘cause I'm
Only lonely on the inside
Didn’t mean to take away your dreams
I’m only lonely on the inside
When you close your eyes
To your deepest thoughts
And I could start to give apologies
For all the stupid things that I will say and I will do
If we should ever cross the same place
At the same time
Would your world skip a beat 'cause it was me
If we could share our life
Would I disappoint your memories
And I believe that you could be the one I’m needing and I'm
Only lonely on the inside
Didn’t mean to take away your dreams
I’m only lonely on the inside
When you close your eyes
To your deepest thoughts
If I could give back your hopes your joys
your treasures
Don't you think that I would change my world
But there's so many things trying to pull us together
And even though we're far apart
I can still watch you walk away
So much I gotta say
I’m only lonely on the inside
I’m only lonely on the inside
When you close your eyes what do you see
I’m only lonely on the inside
Didn't mean to take away your dreams
I’m only lonely on the inside
In your deepest thoughts what do you see
Only lonely on the inside
I didn’t mean, I didn’t mean to steal your dreams away
I’m only lonely on the inside
When you close your eyes
In your deepest thoughts do you see me
(I’m only lonely on the inside)
I’m only lonely when you’re gone
(I’m only lonely on the inside)
I see, I see
(I’m only lonely on the inside)
I’m only lonely, I’m only on the inside
(I’m only lonely on the inside)
Aaaaaahhhhhh
(I’m only lonely on the inside)
Answer Man
You must retreat now
I just can't talk anymore
Your words make me empty inside
There's nothing left of you
Time seems to change
The thoughts I have for you
Now I'm so alive
But you seem to be
Drowning every minute
But that's life
I say it's alright
I can't be your answer and
I don't wanna follow you
Into your cloud
And I
I’m tired of being the one
To live and learn from your mistakes
I'm just so sick of my mind
It sees us like a light
Shining bright
In the middle
Oh can’t you see us smiling now
And I say that's life
You say it's alright
I can't be your answer and
I don't wanna follow you
Into your clouds
I can’t stand now and say
I can't be your answer and
I don't wanna follow you
Into your cloud
Please open your eyes
See where you sleep tonight
I hope you never call it home
But your bound to live
Bound to die in it
And you say that's life
I say I’ll still be here
I can't
(Be your answer man)
I can’t be
I don't wanna follow you
Into your cloud
Your clouds
And I can’t be your answer
(I can't be your answer man)
I can’t follow you down
(I don't wanna follow you)
Into your cloud
Michelle Post
I met a girl just
the other day
Stop to talk she had a lot to say
She told me all about her politics
She told me some things that made me sick
I don’t want just to call her up
Tell her I love her and tell her how much
She don’t need that anyway
And what she don’t need is a bigger head
Michele Post knows all about it
But she don't want just to talk about it
She got everything that she believes in
She got something and she won’t let me in
I met a girl just the other day
Stop to talk she had a lot to say
She told me all about her politics
She told me some things that made me sick
Michele Post knows all about it
But she don't want just to talk about it
She got everything that she believes in
She got something and she won’t let me in
Won’t let me in
Won’t let me in
Woe is me
Bluesy Revolution
It's almost like
We came back wet
Back from the dead
I'm thinking of you
We traveled long
We traveled hard
Too long to bear
Hard just to come through
And when I stop
I see you there
You make me feel
What more must I do
(My revolution is reigning peace)
And there’s nothing that I can be
(Is there a reason we should seek)
Please let me see
That I can bleed
And I can answer
To all that is true
I stumbled long
And I fell hard
We loved so strong
For all that we knew
Please hear me now
And hold your anger somehow
But why must it be me
(My revolution is reigning peace)
Yeah ‘cause there’s nothing
That I can be with you now
(Is there a reason we should seek)
When the end is all I see, all I see
And when I wake
I sing your song
Somewhere you stir
‘Cause your wanting me too
Don't listen to
The other’s answers
‘Cause our love is not new
(My revolution is reigning peace)
Yeah and there’s nothing, nothing I can be ooohhh
(Is there a reason we should seek)
When the end is all I can see
(My revolution is reigning peace)
And there’s nothing, nothing I can be ooohhh
(Is there a reason we should seek)
When the end is all it can be
Home Again
Your letter came
yesterday
You’re flying home
for Christmas
Could you stop to
see me smile
Sat down to remember
All the pain we
shared
And I drifted to
times not so hard
Oh I see you in the
corner of
Life's grand
ballroom
And I tremble to
feel you again
Let's all go home
again
Find where we have
been
Time is never
understood
And I see you
holding me
Please don't let me
be
Tonight just may be
our last
The bell rings to
tell me
You're here now
And I wonder if your
eyes
Glow and sparkle in the night
And I can't believe
you look this way
Like a doll in satin
On a birthday
afternoon
Hold me tightly
Like never before
You come to say
you’re alive
Let's all go home
again
Find where we have
been
Time is never
understood
And I see you
holding me
Please don't let me
be
Tonight just may be
our last
The sun arrives
You wake and peek
outside
Touch my hand and
walk right away
I hear you close the
door
I don't feel joy
anymore
And my heart is
racing to who knows where
And I say it's our
last night
And clutch my soul
so tight
I'll let go to feel
you again
Let's all go home
again
Find where we have
been
(Time is never
understood)
Time is never
understood
And I see
(You holding me)
Oh I see you
(Please don't let me
be)
Oh don’t let me be
(Tonight just may be
our last)
Now lets go
(Let's all go home
again)
We’ll all go now
(Find where we have
been)
Find where we been
(Time is never
understood)
I find, I find
And I see, I see, I
see
(And I see you
holding me)
Please don’t let
me be
(Please don't let me
be)
Tonight is mine
(Tonight just may be
our last)
May be our last love
of mine
One by One
Three
In my family say
We never been
anywhere
To the left sea
Can we go please
We don't care we
wanna
Sit and stare at it
Can we try
To hold up our heads
Feel the power of
the land that we trampled once
Can we go
Where you go
We know you’ll
always need us behind
It’s me it's me
Calling around
looking for your reply
Let me tell you
where the story
Will run to now
We came together
And we will leave
here one by one
Let’s go on
And remember where
we've been
Aunt Inez
From Virginia she
Makes me feel like I
could be the president
All I see
And all I dream
In these eyes that
have held so much punishment
But it’s me it's
me
Calling around
looking for your reply
Let me tell you
where the story
Can run to now
We came together
But we will leave
here one by one
Let’s go on
And remember where
we've been
When she laughs
I hold up my head
She makes me feel
like I could walk on water now
Can she go
Where I go
I know I'll always
need her behind
It’s me it's me
Calling around
looking for your reply
Let me tell you
where my story
Can run to now
We came together
(And we will)
Leave here one by
one
Let’s go on
And remember where
we've been
And what we’ve
done because we
We came together
(And we will)
Leave here one by
one
Let’s go on
And remember where
we've been
Desert Mountain Showdown
Robinn'
Robin in the tree
Won't you come down here and rescue me
‘Cause there's someplace else I gotta be
And you can stand in for me for awhile
Come on now hurry down
No time to play around
I need someone to walk this mile
She jumped and said like a child
(Love is gone and now I see)
You gotta capture me to set me free
Miss Mina came to me in a dream
She said boy come and walk with me
There's someplace else I gotta see
So we strolled along the mountain high
She called me boy my friend
And I wondered if or even when
I'd see Greta and my Rose again
The time has come for dealing
(Lessons learned and now I see)
You gotta capture me to set me free
And I flew on the wings of a bird
And I whispered names of girls that I once knew
Then she disappeared into a fallen stream
Robinn' Robin in the
tree
Won't you come down
here and rescue me
And you can stand in
for me for awhile
Come on now hurry
down
There’s no time
for you to play around
I need someone to
walk this mile
She jumped and said
like a child
(Love is gone and
now I see)
You gotta capture me
to set me free
Lessons learned and
now I see
Yeah you gotta
capture me to set me free
What's Going On Here
Do you see Heaven
Like I do
Or is it just me
Wanting you
Tonight I'm special
Like no one else
I hope you need me
For yourself
Does it make you
happy
To be so free
Times we shared you
Loving me
But as you leave and
walk away
Your eyes they tell
me
Someday you'll stay
What's going on here
What must we wear
To live in this
fantasyland in your mind
Who'll carry the
load
For dreams left
untold
Can you live in this
world all mine
I’d walk this
journey
Say goodbye
To have you close
would
Make me high
And all the good
things
That made you see
It was the strong
thing
Being with me
What's going on here
What must we wear
To live in this
fantasyland in your mind
Who'll carry the
load
For dreams left
untold
Can you live in this
world all mine
Just look high above
And you'll see where
Where we should be
And if tomorrow
makes us
And if tomorrow
breaks us
Then you stand still
and I'll
Show you me
Like you never knew
Or is it just me
Wanting you
So as you leave and
walk away
I knew you'd come
back
Now let’s play
What's going on here
What must we wear
To live in this
fantasyland in your mind
Who'll carry the
load
For dreams left
untold
Can you live in this
world all mine
What's going on here
What must we wear
To live in this
fantasyland in your mind
Who'll carry the
load
For dreams left
untold
Can you live in this
world all mine
What's going on here
now
What's going on here
What's going on here
What must we fear
What's going on here
What's going on here
What Do You Want From Me Now
Take a little bit of
everything baby
I’ll be all right
And don't just
settle for living the lie
That I thought you
might
Put on your disguise
Let me see that
you're bigger than me
Tell me that
tomorrow
I'll wake and yearn
for you
And when I call your
name out
You leave and take a
bow
And say what do want
from
Call off the service
now baby
No one really knew
And I would have to
leave
But now I'm a better
man
I thought you
realized
I wanted you but
You left so suddenly
I know I promised
but now I lied
And when I kiss you
someday
If you feel that
you’re allowed
You say what do you
want from me now
(Burn all your
candles)
(Turn out the light)
What do you want
from me now
(Forget the feeling)
(That you've been
feeling)
Deep inside of me
we'll be alright
Now it's the morning
after
And I'm doing what
you said
Oh but no one
answers
And I cope ‘cause
you were gone
Oh I just wanted you
baby
Oh but I have to
deal ‘cause
My heart isn't big
enough
To love you even if
I please
And when I call you
someday
You will not make a
sound
You’ll say what do
you want from me now
(Burn all your
candles)
(Turn out the light)
What do you want
from me now
(Forget the feeling)
(That you've been
feeling)
Deep inside of me
we'll be alright
Now, now, right now
(Forget the feeling)
(That you've been
feeling)
The feelings gone but
Deep inside of me
we'll be alright
Right, we’ll be alright
(Forget the feeling)
I forgotten, I
forgot how I feel
(That you've been
feeling)
And deep inside of
me we'll be alright
Closet Full of Fear
Sunshine oh I
Need a Francis fix
‘Cause I'm seeing
you again no more
Whispering your name
And you smile
And you laugh aloud
Is this the way to
make you happy now
Tell me are you
looking down
Do you see us with a
closet full of fear
Well I notified all
the necessary people
They made me make a
scene 'cause
They understand my
dreams
And they criticize
my life
So I look ahead to
things in the window
To see what I used
to see
The bottom of that
old fruit tree
Where we sat to make
our lies and
I'm so tired of your
tomorrows
I'm just living with
my own dread I'm scared
Do you see us in a
closet full of fear
Now I feel the way
it does in the morning
When you see me
leave again
Silence is my only
friend
Helps to make me
realize why
I'm so tired of your
tomorrows
I'm just living with
my own little dread
Now I'm scared
Do you see us with a
closet full of fear
Full of fear
