I want to know what became of the changes
We waited for love to bring
Were they only the fitful dreams
Of some greater awakening?
I've been aware of the time going by
They say in the end it's the wink of an eye
And when the morning light comes streaming in
You'll get up and do it again
Amen

Think I'm going down to the well tonight
And I'm gonna drink 'til I get my fill
And I hope when I get old, I don't sit around thinking about it
But I probably will
Yeah, just sitting back
Trying to recapture a little of the glory of
Well, the time slips away
Leaves you with nothing, mister, but boring stories of
Glory days
Yeah, they'll pass you by, glory days
In the wink of a young girl's eye, glory days
Glory days
Well, they'll pass you by, glory days
In the wink of a young girl's eye, glory days
Glory days

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I've been alive forever
And I wrote the very first song
I put the words and the melodies together
I am music and I write the songs

I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs,I write the songs

I'd like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow white turtle doves
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company

Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
Anyone else but me, anyone else but me
No! No! No!
Just remember that I've been true to nobody else but you
So just be true to me
Don't go walking down lovers' lane with anyone else but me
Anyone else but me, anyone else but me

When I was a lad of ten,my father said to me
Come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree
Don't put your faith kin love,my boy,my father said to me
I fear you'll find that love is like that lemon tree

Lemon tree very pretty and lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
Lemon tree very pretty and lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat

When I was a tailor I carried my bodkin and shears
When I was a weaver I carried my roods and my gear
My temples also, my small clothes and reed in my hand
And wherever I go, here's the jolly bold weaver again
I'm a hand weaver to my trade
I fell in love with a factory maid
And if I could but her favour win
I'd stand beside her and weave by steam
My father to me scornful said
How could you fancy a factory maid
When you could have girls fine and gay
Dressed like unto the Queen of May

I've just closed my eyes again
Climbed aboard the dream weaver train
Driver take away my worries of today
And leave tomorrow behind

Ooh dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
I was feelin' near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
That rode us all the way in to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues,
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew

Red light, green light,
Speeding through the dark night,
Driving through the poundin' rain
I gotta see Jane
Windshield wiper splashing, splashing
Calling out her name
Just gotta see Jane
I left her arms to find my way
To find a place for me in the world outside
I wasn't alive, I could not survive
The frantic pace, the constant chase
To win the race, turned my heart cold inside
I gotta find what I left behind

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night
Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or right

Roxanne you don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne you don't have to put on the red light

Well, I can't sleep at night
I catnap through the day
I can't go on much longer baby, living this old way
Don't you know that I'm crazy about you, baby
But you don't care nothing in the world for me
Oh, don't you know that I'm wild about you, baby
But you don't care nothing in the world for me

He came from his Palace grand
He came to my cottage door
His words were few but his look
Will linger for evermore
The look in his sad dark eyes
More tender than words could be
But I was nothing to him
And he was the world to me.

If you, if you could return
Don't let it burn
Don't let it fade
I'm sure I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining every day
I swore, I swore I would be true
And honey so did you
So why were you holding her hand?
Is that the way we stand?
Were you lying all the time?
Was it just a game to you?
But I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?

I can't make you love me
But I sho'nuff'll try
I'm holding to you, baby
I want you by my side
I got to know (I wanna know)
I wanna know (I wanna know)
What make me be (I wanna know)
Such a fool for you now, baby
I'm such a fool for you (now, baby)

I let you do everything you wanna do
I turn my head and look the other way
I know you don't love me, and you told me so
That's why I let you have your own way
I'm a fool to love you if you don't love me
But it's nothing I can really do
My friends call me crazy for loving you
But I'm really being a fool for you

Pardon me if I’m sentimental
When we say goodbye
Don’t be angry with me should I cry
When you’re gone, yet I’ll dream
A little dream as years go by
Now and there’s a fool such as I

We must say good-bye
There's no need for you to cry
It's better that I tell you this tonight
Our affair has been quite heated
You thought I was what you needed
But the time has come, my darlin'
To set things right, 'cause
I'll be harder than yer husband
To get along with
Harder than yer husband every night
I'll be harder than yer husband
Harder than yer husband
An' I don't want our love affair
To end with a fight

Aha, hmm, I'm gonna get along without you now
Aha, hmm, I'm gonna get along without you now
You told me I was the neatest thing
You even ask me to wear your ring
You ran around with every girl in town
You didn't even care if it got me down
Aha, hmm, I'm gonna get along without you now
Aha, hmm, I'm gonna get along without you now
I got along without you before I met you
Gonna get along without you now
Thought I'd find somebody who is twice as cute
'Cause I didn't like you anyhow

See the stone set in her eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I'll wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed if nails she makes me wait
And I'll wait without you

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all, but I want more
And I'm waiting for you

No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
No, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give any more
Can't live if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give any more

With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue,
The only thing I ever get from you is sorrow, sorrow.

No one knows what it's like
To be a bad man, to be a sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what itz like
To be hated, to be fated
To telling only lies

Blue eyes
Baby's got blue eyes
Like a deep, blue sea
On a blue, blue day
Blue eyes
Baby's got blue eyes
When the mornin' comes
I'll be far away
And I say

Blue eyes, holdin' back the tears
Holdin' back the pain
Baby's got blue eyes
And she's alone again
