This is the road that we’re all on,
This is the road that we’re all on.
You can hear me can’t you son.
You understand me don’t you son.
This world is gonna break your heart,
It’s gonna burn you deep inside.
But you’ve gotta carry on, you just gotta carry on.
You’ve got the stars in your eyes, you see the sun shining bright.
I love you so much I could die, soon we’ll be saying goodbye.
And I won’t be round to hold your hand no more.
Won’t be singing Galveston, Oh Galveston no more.
So many bad roads to walk down,
But I must let you walk alone.
I’ll be waiting in the wings.
Be there to pick up all your things.
In black and white it comes to you,
You see the things that people do.
All piled up like firewood. I was frozen where I stood.
But you’ve got a beautiful heart, you’re gonna make a new start,
I love you so much I could die, soon we’ll be saying goodbye.
And I won’t be round to hold your hand no more.
Won’t be singing Galveston, Oh Galveston no more.
You’ve got the stars in your eyes, you see the sun shining bright.
I love you so much I could die, soon we’ll be saying goodbye.
I love you so much I could die, soon we’ll be saying goodbye.
I love you so much I could die, soon we’ll be saying goodbye.
And I won’t be round to hold your hand no more.
Won’t be singing Galveston Oh Galveston no more.
No more……(rpt)

Carolina

Carolina was her name
She was drifting like a drunken driver
Crossing everybody’s lane
Her lines all blurred again
She floated on air
Never fit in anywhere
Spent her cash on her hair
Golden highlights everywhere
Like the dawn breaking birds
She’s just dying to be heard
Oh how she burns
Carolina
Carolina
Carolina
Did her hair toss
Checked her nails
Lit up an Alpine
On the train in Sunshine
Headed for a better town
Long legs spray painted brown
To sing to the night
To the dying of the light
To tear out her heart
And hurl it at the stars
Like the dawn breaking birds
She’s just dying to be heard
Oh how she burns
Carolina
Carolina
Carolina
She came back again
But her smile was not the same
Chewed her nails on the train
‘cross the endless Western plains
Like the dawn breaking birds
Still dying to be heard
Oh how she burns
Carolina
Carolina
Carolina
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ghost nets
03:13
|

|
Twisting and turning
Our hearts were burning
We stepped into
Each other’s time
You were so pretty
I was so lonesome
Could not get you out of my mind
Tangled up like the leaves on the breeze
Spinning around
Tumbling down
Tangled up like ghost nets in the sea
Dragging our darkness around
Ducking and weaving
Like mugs in the ring
Got no idea how it goes
Dipping and wheeling
Like gulls in the wind
New shoots all covered in snow
Tangled up like plastic bags in the trees
Hanging around
We slowly break down
All tangled up like an old bunch of keys
The doors they once fit can’t be found
Now the wind blows cold
And the dark clouds roll
And my hands
Are made
Of lead
And I can’t get you out of my head
Cleaning the ashtrays and
Stealing the loose change
Eating the scraps off the bone
You were so pretty and I was so broken
I would have sunk like a stone.
Tangle up in four seasons of love
Spinning around
Tumbling down
Tangled up like the hawks and the doves
Tangled up like car full of clowns

One more time

Tell me that you love me
One more time
Tell me that you love me
One more time
One more time
Shielding your eyes from the sun
Nobody taught you to run
Kicking the hours away
Big ships at rest in the bay
We know the storm’s gonna come
Hearing the thunder roll
On and on and on
On and on and on
Deep water starts heaving
I know that you’re leaving but
Tell me that you love me
One more time
Tell me that you love me
One more time
One more time
Black water shines in the night
In the deep there’s the old endless fight
Turning tide calls all women and men
Big ships are moving again
I know that soon you’ll be gone
Watching the traffic roll
on and on and on
on and on and on
Big screws start turning
The deep water’s churning and
Tell me, that you love me
One more time
Tell me, that you love me
One more time
One more time
One more time
Tell me that you love me
I’ll light up like a carnival sign
If you tell me that you love me
One more time
Tell me that you love me
I know you can never be mine
But tell me, that you love me
One more time
So tell me, that you love me

January song

Scratch your name
On the midnight train
Drift off in a dream
And miss your stop again
Find it hard
To make your way back home
Like a little bird with the wings all made of stone
Sha la, La la, La la la la, La la
Hummin’ along to my own song
Sha la, La la, La la la la, La la
Oh yeah
I’m drifting along with my mind in my song
I’d forget my head if it wasn’t screwed on
I can’t remember anybody
Anybody’s name
But I still got your name on my old 45s
Played to my daughter when she was 5
Fox on the Run and January, that January Song
Sha la, La la, La la la la, La la
Sha la, La la, La la la la, La la
Oh yeah
Baby we were born to run away
Born to crawl a slave to the gold highway
Sick and tired of what you hang on me
Gotta grew up, gotta show up and take on the world
Sha la, La la, La la la la, La la
Hummin’ away to my own song
Sha la, La la, La la la la, La la
Oh yeah
I’m driftin’ along with my mind in my song
I’d forget my head if it wasn’t screwed on
I can’t remember anybody
Anybody’s name
But I still got your name on my old 45s
Played to my daughter when she was 5
Fox on the Run and January, that January Song
Singin’
Sha la, La la, La la la la, La la
Sha la, La la, La la la la, La la
Sha la, La la, La la la la, La la
All night long
My January Song
My January song
My January song
Driftin’ along with my mind in my song
I’d forget my head if it wasn’t screwed on
I can’t remember anybody
Anybody’s name
Seems you and me got a right to be free
But don’t leave a hole where your heart used to be
I don’t want to face the day
When I can’t sing my song no more
Singin’
Sha la, La la, La la la la, La la
Sha la, La la, La la la la, La la
Sha la, La la, La la la la, La la
All night long
Sha la, La la, La la la la, La la
Sha la, La la, La la la la, La la
Sha la, La la, La la la la, La la
Sha la, La la, La la la la, La la
Sha la, La la, La la la la, La la
