     TELL ME WHY 
     ----------- 
     Sailing heart-ships thru broken harbors 
     Out on the waves in the night 
     Still the searcher must ride the dark horse 
     Racing alone in his fright. 
     Tell me why, tell me why 
      
     Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself, 
     When your old enough to repay but young enough to sell? 
      
     Tell me lies later, come and see me 
     I'll be around for a while. 
     I am lonely but you can free me 
     All in the way that you smile 
     Tell me why, tell me why 
      
     Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself, 
     When your old enough to repay but young enough to sell? 
      
     Tell me why, tell me why 
     Tell me why, tell me why 
      
      
     AFTER THE GOLDRUSH 
     ------------------ 
     Well, I dreamed I saw the knights  
     In armor coming, 
     Saying something about a queen. 
     There were peasants singing and  
     Drummers drumming 
     And the archer split the tree. 
     There was a fanfare blowing  
     To the sun 
     That was floating on the breeze. 
     Look at Mother Nature on the run  
     In the nineteen seventies. 
     Look at Mother Nature on the run  
     In the nineteen seventies. 
      
     I was lying in a burned out basement 
     With the full moon in my eyes. 
     I was hoping for replacement 
     When the sun burst thru the sky. 
     There was a band playing in my head 
     And I felt like getting high. 
     I was thinking about what a  
     Friend had said  
     I was hoping it was a lie. 
     Thinking about what a  
     Friend had said  
     I was hoping it was a lie. 
      
     Well, I dreamed I saw the silver   
     Space ships flying 
     In the yellow haze of the sun, 
     There were children crying  
     And colors flying 
     All around the chosen ones. 
     All in a dream, all in a dream  
     The loading had begun. 
     They were flying Mother Nature's  
     Silver seed to a new home in the sun. 
     Flying Mother Nature's  
     Silver seed to a new home. 
      
      
     ONLY LOVE CAN BREAK YOUR HEART 
     ------------------------------ 
     When you were young and on your own 
     How did it feel to be alone? 
     I was always thinking of games that I was playing. 
     Trying to make the best of my time. 
      
     But only love can break your heart 
     Try to be sure right from the start 
     Yes only love can break your heart 
     What if your world should fall apart? 
      
     I have a friend I've never seen 
     He hides his head inside a dream 
     Someone should call him and see if he can come out. 
     Try to lose the down that he's found. 
      
     But only love can break your heart 
     Try to be sure right from the start 
     Yes only love can break your heart 
     What if your world should fall apart? 
      
     I have a friend I've never seen 
     He hides his head inside a dream 
     Yes, only love can break your heart 
     Yes, only love can break your heart 
      
      
     SOUTHERN MAN 
     ------------ 
     Southern man better keep your head 
     Don't forget what your good book said 
     Southern change gonna come at last 
     Now your crosses are burning fast 
     Southern man 
      
     I saw cotton and I saw black 
     Tall white mansions and little shacks. 
     Southern man when will you pay them back? 
     I heard screamin' and bullwhips cracking 
     How long? How long? 
      
     Southern man better keep your head 
     Don't forget what your good book said 
     Southern change gonna come at last 
     Now your crosses are burning fast 
     Southern man 
      
     Lily Belle, your hair is golden brown 
     I've seen your black man comin' round 
     Swear by God I'm gonna cut him down! 
     I heard screamin' and bullwhips cracking 
     How long? How long? 
      
      
     TILL THE MORNING COMES 
     ---------------------- 
     I'm gonna give you till the morning comes 
     Till the morning comes, till the morning comes. 
      
     I'm only waiting till the morning comes 
     Till the morning comes, till the morning comes. 
      
      
     DON'T LET IT BRING YOU DOWN 
     --------------------------- 
     Old man lying by the side of the road 
     With the lorries rolling by, 
     Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load 
     And the building scrape the sky, 
     Cold wind ripping down the allay at dawn 
     And the morning paper flies, 
     Dead man lying by the side of the road 
     With the daylight in his eyes. 
      
     Don't let it bring you down 
     It's only castles burning, 
     Find someone who's turning  
     And you will come around. 
      
     Blind man running through the light of the night 
     With an answer in his hand, 
     Come on down to the river of sight 
     And you can really understand, 
     Red lights flashing through the window in the rain, 
     Can you hear the sirens moan? 
     White cane lying in a gutter in the lane, 
     If you're walking home alone. 
      
     Don't let it bring you down 
     It's only castles burning, 
     Just find someone who's turning  
     And you will come around. 
      
     Don't let it bring you down 
     It's only castles burning, 
     Just find someone who's turning  
     And you will come around. 
      
      
     BIRDS 
     ----- 
     Lover, there will be another one 
     Who'll hover over you beneath the sun 
     Tomorrow see the things that never come 
     Today 
      
     When you see me 
     Fly away without you 
     Shadow on the things you know 
     Feathers fall around you 
     And show you the way to go 
     It's over, it's over. 
      
     Nestled in your wings my little one 
     This special morning brings another sun 
     Tomorrow see the things that never come 
     Today 
      
     When you see me 
     Fly away without you 
     Shadow on the things you know 
     Feathers fall around you 
     And show you the way to go 
     It's over, it's over. 
      
      
     WHEN YOU DANCE I CAN REALLY LOVE 
     -------------------------------- 
     When you dance,  
     Do your senses tingle? 
     Then take a chance? 
     In a trance,  
     While the lonely mingle 
     With circumstance? 
      
     I've got something to tell you, you make it show. 
     Let me come over, I know you know 
     When you dance I can really love. 
      
     I can love, I can really love, I can really love 
     I can love, I can really love, I can really love 
      
     Like a mountain that's growing a river that rolls 
     Let me come over, I know you know 
     When you dance I can really love. 
      
     When you dance,  
     Do your senses tingle? 
     Then take a chance? 
     In a trance,  
     While the lonely mingle 
     With circumstance? 
      
     I've got something to tell you, you make it show. 
     Let me come over, I know you know 
     When you dance I can really love. 
      
      
     I BELIEVE IN YOU 
     ---------------- 
     Now that you found yourself losing your mind 
     Are you here again? 
     Finding that what you once thought was real 
     Is gone, and changing? 
      
     Now that you made yourself love me 
     Do you think I can change it in a day? 
     How can I place you above me? 
     Am I lying to you when I say 
     That I believe in you 
     I believe in you. 
      
     Coming to you at night I see my questions 
     I feel my doubts 
     Wishing that maybe in a year or two 
     We could laugh and let it all out 
      
     Now that you made yourself love me 
     Do you think I can change it in a day? 
     How can I place you above me? 
     Am I lying to you when I say 
     That I believe in you 
     I believe in you. 
      
      
     CRIPPLE CREEK FERRY 
     ------------------- 
     Hey, hey Cripple Creek ferry 
     Butting through the overhanging trees 
     Make way for the Cripple Creek ferry 
     The waters going down it's a mighty tight squeeze. 
      
     All alone the captain stands 
     Hasn't heard from his deck hands. 
     The gambler tips his hat and walks towards the door. 
     It's the second half of the cruise. 
     And you know he hates to lose. 
      
     Hey, hey Cripple Creek ferry 
     Butting through the overhanging trees 
     Make way for the Cripple Creek ferry 
     The waters going down it's a mighty tight squeeze. 
      
      
     EVERYBODY'S ALONE 
     ----------------- 
     If you're looking for me 
     You'll find me resting in the shade 
     Of the mountains and trees 
     Beneath the cool summer breeze 
     And I don't mind if you stay 
     Everybody's alone 
     Everybody's alone 
      
     People talking to me 
     Someone saying that I'm not the same 
     That's not so easy to be 
     But when I'll learn to be free 
     I wonder if I'll miss the pain 
     Everybody's alone 
     Everybody's alone 
      
     All I want you to know 
     Is that I love you so much 
     I can hardly stand it 
     When everybody's alone 
     Everybody's alone 
     Everybody's alone 
     Everybody's alone 
      
      
     DANCE, DANCE, DANCE 
     ------------------- 
     Never thought love had a rainbow on it 
     Used to think a cloud was a nightmare 
     That was up until I first met you 
     Now I go around hoping you care. 
      
     Dance, dance, feel it all around you 
     Dance, dance, dance,  
     Never thought love had a rainbow on it 
     See the girl dance 
     See the girl dance. 
      
     Mississippi mud never touched her fingers 
     California sand lies in her hand 
     Love her more than life as the daylight lingers 
     Early in the morning I'll be her man. 
      
     Dance, dance, feel it all around you 
     Dance, dance, dance,  
     Mississippi mud never touched her fingers 
     See the girl dance 
     See the girl dance. 
      
      
     BAD FOG OF LONELINESS 
     --------------------- 
     Bad fog of loneliness 
     Put a cloud on my single-mindedness 
     I dream of sweet caress 
     From you. 
      
     What makes tomorrow guess 
     What makes me take from me, and put aside the rest 
     I dream of sweet caress 
     From you. 
      
     So long woman I am gone 
     So much pain to go through 
     Come back maybe I was wrong 
      
     Bad fog of loneliness 
     Put a cloud on my single-mindedness 
     I dream of sweet caress 
     From you. 
      
      
     SEA OF MADNESS 
     -------------- 
     How can I bring you 
     To the Sea of Madness 
     I love you so much 
     It's gonna bring me sadness 
     I've never seen you 
     Through these eyes before 
     Now I don't believe it 
     I think I'll take it 
     Or leave it. 
      
     All I need 
     Is your sweet sweet loving
     Fill my life with happiness 
     All I want is your heart 
     Every time I think of you 
     Mine falls apart. 
      
     I went to heaven 
     And I stood at the crossroads 
     I'll love you tomorrow 
     As sure as the wind blows 
     Silver rain 
     On the mountain clover 
     Washes away 
     Until the music is over.
