LYRICS

 

WHAT’S A GIRL

 

We meet across a crowded room

Through the faces in the gloom

We meet on the road at night

I wanted to hold you

What’s a girl like you doing in a century like this

What’s a girl like you doing in a century like this

In the bar at the end of the rainbow

Shipwreck on a sea of tears

In the bar at the end of the rainbow

Cast away on their fears

In the bar at the end in the bar at the end in

In the bar at the end

Of The Rainbow

I asked you just one more time

What you thought of me in your mind

You said to me through your eye

That your love will never ,………..

What’s a girl like you doing in a century like this

What’s a girl like you doing in a century like this

In the bar at the end of the rainbow

Shipwreck on a sea of tears
In the bar at the end of the rainbow

Cast away on their fears

In the bar at the end in the bar at the end

In the bar at the end

Of The Rainbow

What’s a girl like you doing in a century like this

What’s a girl like you doing in a century like this

What’s a girl what’s a girl what’s a girl like you

What’s a girl like you doing in a century like this

YOU DO BELONG

 

Since Elvis hit the stage suicide has been the rage

of young America

Of young America

Cutting veins popping pills shooting guns won’t kill the ills

Of young America

 

You you do belong
You you do belong

 

He took a couple of tabs and he was feeling fab
Just like he oughta
Then he got quite a buzz thought he was Jesus
Out on the water

 

You you do belong
You you do belong

 

Well you know I’m gonna jump you know I’m gonna jump
Don’t come no closer
Let’s just try and work it out let’s just try and work it out
I won’t come closer

 

You you do belong
You you do belong
I said you do belong
You you do belong

 

You don’t care I’ll show you hold my breath till I’m blue

That’ll teach ya
Well you know I’ll run away sell my body for my pay
News’ll reach ya

 

You you do belong
You you do belong

 

Well we wanna do well in exams and excel
In a profession
Why we studying anyhow there’s no jobs for us now
It’s an obsession

 

I said you do belong (yes you do)
You you do belong

 

All you desperate’s listening in
Listen close to what I’m saying
You are mistaken
Every doubt every fear is a lesson for you dear
Your’e not forsaken

 

You you do belong
You you do belong
You I said you do belong
You I said you do belong
You do

 

************************************************************

 

ONE NIGHT IN TIME

 

This night as cities are burning we lie
Tangled in each others arms in the sky
I can see no end to our sad affair
You turn in your sleep and say you don’t care
Funny you should say that I feel the same on this

One night in time

One night in time

 

Lurid the neon the streets slick with green
Rising I gaze on this sad city scene
In the cafe I remember your phrase
Our love will die on us one of these days
Funny you should say that I feel the same on this

 

One night in time
One night in time

 

Slowly I gather my gear as you sleep

Dirty gray dawn over factories creep

I hear the TV weatherman he say
Someone has taken the pressure away
Funny he should say that I feel the same on this

One night in time
One night in time

 

************************************************************

 

FOREVER YOUR LOVE

 

Holding on to your love

Give to me only your love

I only want your true love

Forever for me

 

Dream of me when you dream love

When I am far away love

I only want your sweet love

Forever for me

 

Forever your love Your love

Forever your love Your love

Forever your love Your love

Forever your love

 

Please hold on to my love

I give you only my love

I only want your true love

Forever for me

 

Forever your love Your love

Forever your love Your love

Forever your love Your love

Forever your love

 

If you leave me O darling I will surely die

Please don’t please don’t go

Holding on to your love

Give to me only your love

I only want your true love

Forever for me

 

************************************************************

 

DEAR HEART

 

Dear heart ever since the first time


Our hearts have beat as one


Here among the chaos below

Longing only for your song



 

Love is the melody


Always for you and me


Strong is the harmony


The bond between you and me


Dear heart dear heart dear heart



 

Dear one never ever say


For me your love has gone


Forever and forever


We have known the constant one

 

Love is the melody


Always for you and me


Strong is the harmony


The bond between you and me


Dear heart dear heart dear heart


Dear heart dear heart dear heart

WHEN ALL THE WORLD IS YOUNG

 

Young leaf green so softly shining

Quartz of Emerald Agate Jade

Rings of Coral beads of Lapis

And of Alabaster made

 

When all the world is young

And the Sacred Dance has just begun

And the songs of courting are sung

When all the world is young

 

Cloudless blue and daisy yellow

Clotted cream and orange-red

Touch of Turquoise flash of scarlet

Costumed so the dance I led

 

When all the world is young

And the Sacred Dance has just begun

And the songs of courting are sung

When all the world is young

 

Brazen girdle waist encircling

Set with dull Carnelian

Copper crown about my temple

Green Chrysolite there laid in

 

When all the world is young

And the Sacred Dance has just begun

And the songs of courting are sung

When all the world is young

 

Young leaf green so softly shining

Quartz of Emerald Agate Jade

Rings of Coral beads of Lapis

And of Alabaster made

 

When all the world is young

And the Sacred Dance has just begun

And the songs of courting are sung

When all the world is young

THE WHITE GOLD RING

 

Liquid gold upon the sand
Liquid silver on the gold
And in the distance in the dawning light
One lone figure on the strand

 

Countless stars adorn the night
The moon reflected on the waves
I wonder of you stand as I do now
Gazing at her silver light

 

Though I’m so very far away
I do not fear the coming day
I think of you and you think of me
The White Gold Ring upon your hand
The White Gold Ring upon your hand

 

Though I’m so very far away
I do not fear the coming day
I think of you and you think of me
The White Gold Ring upon your hand

 

Dreaming if you and the girls
In a garden in The Spring
Three little stars here on the lawn
Daisy chains among the curls

 

Though I’m so very far away
I do not fear the coming day
I think of you and you think of me
White Gold Ring upon your hand
The White Gold Ring upon your hand

 

Liquid gold upon the sand
The White Gold Ring upon your hand

THE SENSITIVE KIND

Written by JJ Cale

 

Dont take her for granted

She’s had a hard time

Dont’ misunderstand her

Or play with her mind

If you believe I know you will find

There aint thong like

The sensitive kind

 

Tell her you love her

Each and every night

You will discover

She will treat you right

If you believe

I know you will find

There aint nothing like

The sensitive kind

 

************************************************************

 

ONLY FOR YOU

 

Out in the world clockin’ the girls
What do I find
It’s only you babe oh
It’s only you babe oh

 

Love of my life light of my day

You got me Reelin’ you got me Rockin’ love
You got me Reelin’ you got me Rockin’ love

Lately I find here in my mind
You and me rhyme
Only for you babe oh
Only with you babe oh

 

Can it be true there’s nothing to do

It’s only for you

Only for you babe oh
Only with you babe oh

 

You got me Reelin’ you got me Rockin’ love
You got me Reelin’ you got me Rockin’ love

AMERICAN GIRL

 

She came from the old country

Married a guy on the railway

They had a kid in a factory town

All she wants to do is to get down

RUNAWAY

 

I am a runaway many of my kind ran away
Running away from their way
All on a rainy day hitching along the King’s Highway
Running away from their way

 

Sailing into Candor with a pile of gold
And the hermit’s guiding me very very wise and old
I will see my true love there she’ll be pleased to see me

 

The city soon’ll see my sail they’ll know that I am home
The city soon’ll see my sail and they’ll know that I am home

 

Here I am on my way hitching along the Queen’s Highway
Running away from their way
All on a winter’s day hitching along the King’s Highway
Running away from their way

 

Sailing into Candor with a pile of gold
And the hermit’s guiding me very very wise and old
I will see my true love there she’ll be pleased to see me

 

The city soon’ll see my sail they’ll know that I am home
The city soon’ll see my sail and they’ll know that I am home=

And the hermit’s guiding me very very wise and old

I will see my true love there she’ll be pleased to see me

 

The city soon’ll see my sail they’ll know that I am home
The city soon’ll see my sail and they’ll know that I am home

THERE ARE NO ROADS

 

There are no roads roads are made by walkin

There are no words to tell a friend the way

There’s only you and you can make your dreams come true
By what you do not what you say

 

There are no clues to find the hidden treasure
No certainty you’ll win this game you play
There’s only you and you can make your dreams come true
By what you do not what you say

 

You’re such a fine person and you feel you’ve failed

Honey don’t hide that feeling it’s a lesson unveiled

Own up and be forgiving maybe then changes flow

Contemplate no man’s sorrow you have your own you know

 

There is a cure for what it is that ails you
There is a balm to soothe your cares away
It is in you only you make the dreams come true

 

By what you do not what you say
