Look out of any window, any morning, any evening, any day.
Maybe the sun is shining, birds are singing,
No rain is falling from a heavy sky.
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
For this is all a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long ago.
Walk out of any doorway, feel your way, feel your way like the day before.
Maybe youll find direction,
Around some corner where its been waiting to meet you.
What do you want me to do, to watch for you while you are sleeping?
The please dont be surprised when you find me dreaming too.
Look into any eyes you find by you, you can see clear to another day,
Maybe been seen before, through other eyes on other days while going home.
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
Its all a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long ago.
Walk into splintered sunlight,
Inch your way through dead dreams to another land.
Maybe youre tired and broken,
Your tongue is twisted with words half spoken and thoughts unclear
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
A box of rain will ease the pain, and love will see you through.
Just a box of rain, wind and water,
Sun and shower, wind and rain,
In and out the window like a moth before a flame.
And its just a box of rain, I dont know who put it there,
Believe it if you need it, or leave it if you dare.
And its just a box of rain, or a ribbon for your hair;
Such a long long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

'Romeo and Juliet' - Dire Stratis
A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like "You and me, babe. How about it?"
Juliet says "Hey, it's Romeo. You nearly gave me a heart attack."
He's underneath the window, she's singing "hey-la, my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here, singing up at people like that
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"
Juliet the dice were loaded from the start
And I bet, and you exploded in my heart
And I forget, I forget the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong
Juliet?
Come up on different streets, they were both streets of shame
Both dirty, both mean, yes and the dream was the same
And I dreamed your dream for you, and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?
When you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold.
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin
Now you just say "Oh, Romeo, yeah, you know, I used to have a scene with him."
Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
You said "I love you like the stars above, I love you 'til I die
There's a place for us, you know the movie song."
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong
Juliet?
I can't to the talk like they talk on TV
And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
I can't do anything, but I'd do anything for you
I can't do anything except be in love with you
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All I do is keep the beat and bad company
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Julie, I'd do the stars with you, anytime
Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
You said "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die
There's a place for us, you know the movie song"
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong

With 100+ pages, I'd be surprised if these weren't already posted somewhere. But they're good enough to be posted again.

i like the live version on Alchemy. and
private
investigations....
you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?
~ alan bates, the mothman prophecies
i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

Yup, Knopfler streches out and plays beautifully on the Alchemey cut. And thanks for reminding me, these are excellent, too....
It's a mystery to me - the game comeneces
For the usual fee - plus expenses
Confidential information - it's in a diary
This is my investigation - it's not a public inquiry
I go checking out the reports - digging up the dirt
You get to meet all sorts in this line of work
Treachery and treason - there's always an excuse for it
And when I find the reason I still can't get used to it
And what have you got at the end of the day?
What have you got to take away?
A bottle of whiskey and a new set of lies
Blinds on the window and a pain behind the eyes
Scarred for life - no compensation
Private Investigations

Standing there alone
the ship is waiting
all systems are go
are you sure?
control is not convinced
but the computer
has the evidence
"no need to abort"
the countdown starts
watching in a trance
the crew is certain
nothing left to chance
all is working
trying to relax
up in the capsule
"send me up a drink"
jokes Major Tom
the count goes on
4 3 2 1
Earth below us
drifting falling
floating weightless
calling calling home...
second stage is cut
we're now in orbit
stabilizers up
runnning perfect
starting to collect
requested data
what will it effect
when all is done
thinks Major Tom
back at ground control
there is a problem
go to rockets full
not responding
"hello Major Tom
are you receiving
turn the thrusters on
we're standing by"
there's no reply
4 3 2 1
Earth below us
drifting falling
floating weightless
calling calling home...
across the stratosphere
a final message
"give my wife my love"
then nothing more
far beneath the ship
the world is mourning
they don't realize
he's alive
no one understands
but Major Tom sees
now the life commands
this is my home
I'm coming home
Earth below us
drifting falling
floating weightless
coming home...

drifting falling
floating weightless

My old man
Hes a singer in the park
Hes a walker in the rain
Hes a dancer in the dark
We dont need no piece of paper
From the city hall
Keeping us tied and true
My old man
Keeping away my blues
Hes my sunshine in the morning
Hes my fireworks at the end of the day
Hes the warmest chord I ever heard
Play that warm chord, play and stay baby
We dont need no piece of paper
From the city hall
Keeping us tied and true
My old man
Keeping away my blues
But when hes gone
Me and them lonesome blues collide
The beds too big
The frying pans too wide
Then he comes home
And he takes me in his loving arms
And he tells me all his troubles
And he tells me all my charms
We dont need no piece of paper
From the city hall
Keeping us tied and true
No, my old man
Keeping away my blues
But when hes gone
Me and them lonesome blues collide
The beds too big
The frying pans too wide

Hes a walker in the rain
Hes a dancer in the dark

Come my lady
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby
Come my lady
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby
Such a sexy,sexy pretty little thing
Fierce nipple pierce you got me sprung with your tongue ring
and I ain't gonna lie cause your loving gets me high
So to keep you by my side there's nothing that I won't try
Butterflies in her eyes and looks to kill
Time is passing I'm asking could this be real
Cause I can't sleep I can't hold still
The only thing I really know is she got sex appeal
I can feel too much is never enough
You're always there to lift me up
When these times get rough I was lost Now I'm found
Ever since you've been around
You're the women that I want
So yo, I'm putting it down.
Come my lady
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby
come my lady you're my
pretty baby ill make your legs shake
you make me go crazy
Come my lady
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby
come my lady you're my
pretty baby ill make your legs shake
you make me go crazy
I don't deserve you unless it's some kind of hidden message
to show me life is precious
Then I guess it's true
But to tell truth, I really never knew
T'll I met you... See I was lost and confused
Twisted and used up
Knew a better life existed but thought that I missed it
My lifestyle's wild I was living like a wild child
Trapped on a short leash paroled the police files
So yo. what' s happening now?
I see the sun breaking down into dark clouds
and a vision of you standing out in a crowd.
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby
come my lady you're my
pretty baby ill make your legs shake
you make me go crazy
Come my lady
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby
come my lady you're my
pretty baby ill make your legs shake
you make me go crazy
Hey sugar momma, come and dance with me
The smartest thing you ever did was take a chance with me
Whatever tickles your fancy
Girl it's me and you like Sid and Nancy
So sexy....almost evil Talkin' about butterflies in my head
I used to think that happy endings were only in the books I read but
you made me feel alive when I was almost dead
You filled that empty space with the love I used to chase
and as far as I can see it don't get better than this
So butterfly, here is a song and it's sealed with a kiss
and a thank you miss.
come and dance with me
Come my lady
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby
come my lady you're my
pretty baby ill make your legs shake
you make me go crazy
Come my lady
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby
come my lady you're my
pretty baby ill make your legs shake
you make me go crazy
Come my lady
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby
come my lady you're my
pretty baby ill make your legs shake
you make me go crazy
Come my lady

Title: If You Can't Say Love
(Since you were) always here
(I even) wrote the songs (and all the) time we shared
and if you can't say love (justice) will prevail
(and even) love will over come (and all the) evil will fail
and if you can't say love
(Since you were) always here
(I even) wrote the songs (and all the) time we shared
and if you can't say love (justice) will prevail
(and even) love will over come (and all the) evil will fail
and if you can't say love
I'll say it for you
travel the globe and tell everyone to aim LOVE towards you
the feeling's better than bass drums
I'm not the only person that's able to read the letter on your face hun
I'll make an alternate ending
It would all be worth it if I were to fall for defending
the LOVE on my 12 inch is a LOVE that's unselfish
above all the hellish because of your well wish
(Since you were) always here
(I even) wrote the songs (and all the) time we shared
and if you can't say love (justice) will prevail
(and even) love will over come (and all the) evil will fail
and if you can't say love
(Since you were) always here
(I even) wrote the songs (and all the) time we shared
and if you can't say love (justice) will prevail
(and even) love will over come (and all the) evil will fail
and if you can't say love
It all starts with JAH LOVE
eradicate the hate
gotta phillips head in a case
for your screw face brought a new pace
embrace grace cut the chase know our place
in a world of anger with piles of waste we're some do-gooders
with the filteration
we're mexican islander euro african asian
celebrate creator before creation (and all the) vision we're erasing
Patiently taking all day waiting for the confrontations to cease
and the nations to do as we've done
replacement killers LOVE a good fight
a goodnight kiss takes the queen but protects the king's life
while worldwide peace is just a figment and now is where we're livin'
we can hold on to the vision, do our ancestors right
by our decisions, thanks givin' to the most
for the host of believers and this ghetto child's acheivements
to all the berevements we are...
(Since you were) always here
(I even) wrote the songs (and all the) time we shared
and if you can't say love (justice) will prevail
(and even) love will over come (and all the) evil will fail
and if you can't say love
Life is LOVE my wife is LOVE
impossible not to write this LOVE won't fight this LOVE
but I'll fight for what's inside my blood and beliefs
passed through my ancestory and family tree
from my grandparents to my parents to me
helped me get through the dark when I could barely see
thank you for taking care of me and caring for me
this one goes to those who show us L-O-V-E
Don't stop saying what LOVE I'll say it with you
the music that we make and working out the kinks and issues
I'm seeing how the scene needs variety arts
just applying good ethics and LOVE is where it starts
got a lot of LOVE though from musicians to the fans
walking life in many circles understood in many lands
feels good where I stand much higher to go
take the time to say peace see you at the next show (see you at the next show)
(Since you were) always here
(I even) wrote the songs (and all the) time we shared

(I even) wrote the songs (and all the) time we shared
and if you can't say love (justice) will prevail
(and even) love will over come (and all the) evil will fail
and if you can't say love
(Since you were) always here
(I even) wrote the songs (and all the) time we shared
and if you can't say love (justice) will prevail
(and even) love will over come (and all the) evil will fail
and if you can't say love
It all starts with JAH LOVE
eradicate the hate
gotta phillips head in a case
for your screw face brought a new pace
embrace grace cut the chase know our place
in a world of anger with piles of waste we're some do-gooders
with the filteration
we're mexican islander euro african asian
celebrate creator before creation (and all the) vision we're erasing
Patiently taking all day waiting for the confrontations to cease
and the nations to do as we've done
replacement killers LOVE a good fight
a goodnight kiss takes the queen but protects the king's life
while worldwide peace is just a figment and now is where we're livin'
we can hold on to the vision, do our ancestors right
by our decisions, thanks givin' to the most
for the host of believers and this ghetto child's acheivements
to all the berevements we are...
(Since you were) always here
(I even) wrote the songs (and all the) time we shared

(and even) love will over come (and all the) evil will fail
and if you can't say love
Life is LOVE my wife is LOVE
impossible not to write this LOVE won't fight this LOVE
but I'll fight for what's inside my blood and beliefs
passed through my ancestory and family tree
from my grandparents to my parents to me
helped me get through the dark when I could barely see
thank you for taking care of me and caring for me
this one goes to those who show us L-O-V-E
Don't stop saying what LOVE I'll say it with you
the music that we make and working out the kinks and issues
I'm seeing how the scene needs variety arts
just applying good ethics and LOVE is where it starts
got a lot of LOVE though from musicians to the fans
walking life in many circles understood in many lands
feels good where I stand much higher to go
take the time to say peace see you at the next show (see you at the next show)
(Since you were) always here

- Nothing But the Water (I)
I have seen what man can do
When the evil lives inside of you
Many are the weak
And the strong are few
But with the water
We’ll start anew
Well, won’t you take me down to the levy,
take me down to the stream, take my down to the water,
we’re gonna wash our souls clean,
take me down to the river, take me down to the lake,
Yes, we’ll all go together, we’re gonna do it for the good lord’s sake
I have fallen so many times
For the devil’s sweet, cunning rhymes
And this old world
Has brought me pain
But there’s hope
For me again
Well, won’t you take me down to the levy,
take me down to the stream, take my down to the water,
we’re gonna wash our souls clean,
take me down to the river, take me down to the lake,
Yes, we’ll all go together, we’re gonna do it for the good lord’s sake
Tried my hand at the bible, tried my hand at prayer,
but now nothing but the water is gonna bring my soul to bare,
but now nothing but the water is gonna bring my soul to bare
- Nothing But the Water (II)
I have tried to find my way,
to make it through to a better day
I have cried a mighty song,
but in the morning everything was gone
So come on water sweet water, wash me down
So come on water sweet water, wash me down
I have tried so many times to put out the devils fire
But every time I sit down to pray, the devils charm pulls me away
So come on water sweet water, wash me down
So come on water sweet water, wash me down
Up in heaven, they know the rule,
you’ve got to get down to the bathing pool
Everybody, you’ve got to get in line
Down at the river, we’re doing fine with the water sweet water, wash me down
Come on water sweet water, wash me down
Now I’m ready and it’s my time and if I give a nickel, I might get a dime
Only the water can help me now
I’ll find glory somewhere, somehow with the water sweet water, wash me down
Come on water sweet water, wash me down
Tried my hand at the bible, tried my hand at the prayer,
but now nothing but the water is gonna bring my soul to bare.
Tried my hand at the bible, tried my hand at the prayer,
but now nothing but the water is gonna bring my soul to bare.
Tried my hand at the bible, tried my hand at the prayer,
but now nothing but the water is gonna bring my soul to bare…

"You easily get angry over trifles"

"Please, don't lose your temper, don't get excited"
"I still have a great deal more to tell you"
I want to see you again someday
So, leave me alone. Away with you!
"You are good for nothing, also mocker"
"You are rotten at inside and outside"
"Tidy yourself up! Shame on you!"
"I don't dislike you, but I don't make friends"
I want to see you again someday
So, leave me alone. Away with you!
I want to see you again someday.

Free Love
Pretty girl on the hood of a Cadilac, yeah....
She’s broken down on freeway nine.
I take a look and her engine’s started,
I leave her purring and I roll on by....bye bye
Chorus:
Free love on the free love freeway,
The love is free and the freeway’s long...
I got some hot love on the hot-love highway
I ain’t going home cos’ my baby’s gone
A little while later, see a senorita,
She’s caught a flat trying to make it home,
She says “Por favor, can you pump me up?”
I say “Muchos gracias, adios. Bye Bye.”
Free love on the freelove freeway,
The love is free and the freeway’s long
I got some hot love on the hotlove highway,
Ain't going home ‘cause my baby's gone.
Little while later I see a cowboy crying,
“Hey buddy, what can I do?”
He says “I lived a good life, had about a thousand women.”
I said “Why the tears?”, he says “‘cause none of them was you.”
Free love on the free love freeway,
where the love is free and the freeway is long...

I have not yet ever heard this song, and I suspect it would not be to my taste, but these lyrics were shared in the last week with me and have been haunting me ever since...
Numb and broken,
Here I stand alone,
Wondering what were
The last words I said to you
Hoping, praying that I'll find a way
To turn back time,
Can I turn back time?
What would I give to behold.
The smile the face of love,
You never left me,
The rising sun
Will always speak your name.
Numb, i'm broken
Here i stand alone.
Wondering the words,
The last words i said to you
It won't be long
We'll meet again...
What would i give, to behold
The smile, the face of love?
You never left me
The rising sun
Will always speak your name
It won't be long, we'll meet again
Your memory is never passing
It won't be long, we'll meet again
My love for you is everlasting.
I mourn for those who never knew you
I mourn for those who never knew you
It won't be long, we'll meet again
Your memory is never passing
It won't be long, we'll meet again
My love for you is everlasting.
It won't be long, we'll meet again..
It won't be long, we'll meet again..
It won't be long, we'll meet again..
It won't be long, we'll meet again..

Ode To A Life : Mary's Danish
(Verse 1)
Oooh, well I've been thinking
there are some things that are troublin' me
and I just can't keep it in
Across the ocean
A life is spiraling to the ground
with miles still to fall a voice is screaming out:
(Chorus)
Please don't leave me 'cause I
just couldn't take it
I'm so afraid and I
just can't fake it
Fear inside me won't you just let go
'Cause there's nothing worse
than a broken heart
(Verse 2)
Oooh, so here I stand
On the edge of something new
that you will always give to me
With tears of sorrow
My life is spiraling to the ground
with miles still to fall my voice is screaming out:
(Chorus)
(Accordion solo)
(Chorus 2x)

seesaw - a stray child
if you are lost in your way
deep in an awesome story
don't be in doubt and stray
cling to your lonesome folly
now you're too close to the pain
let all the rain go further
come back and kiss me in vain
mother oh do not bother
hear the chorus of pain
taking you back to proper ways
it's so easy to find
if you could remind me
now you are lost in your way
deep in an awesome story
so I will find you again
kiss you for lonesome folly

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Even your emotions have an echo
In so much space
And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Probably
And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you're in control
Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me
My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I wanna be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done
But Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably
Uh, uh

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that
and someone believed it,
and look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing?
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.
All of us under its spell, we know that it's probably magic....
Have you been half asleep
and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.

Almost heaven, west virginia
Blue ridge mountains, shenandoah river
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place, I be-long
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
All my memries, gather round her
Miners lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place, I be-long
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice, in the mornin hours she calls to me
The radio reminds me of my home far a-way
And drivin down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place, I be-long
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Blue ridge mountains, shenandoah river
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home

West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

- Stop the Bus
The destination doesn't change
You know i can still remember
The day you asked me for my name
You are thee rock on the riverbed
Growing smoother every year
You are the voice inside my head
I can't believe you got me here
Stop the bus and turn the radio up high
And grab the first guitar you see
And get out the old flare gun and throw it to the sky
Tonight you're sleeping next to me
You give me something to remember
Each time you look into my eyes
You see through my trouble and my temper
And you call me out on every lie
Stop the bus and turn the radio up high
And grab the first guitar you see
And get out the old flare gun and throw it to the sky
Tonight you're sleeping next to me
