Lyrical Response

[Gugny]

Well someone told me yesterday
That when you throw your love away
You act as if you just don't care
You look as if you're going somewhere

 

But I just can't convince myself
I couldn't live with no one else
And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart

 

So lonely
So lonely
So lonely

[Bill from NYC]

Everywhere, people stare,

Each and every day.

I can see them laugh at me,

And I hear them say...

 

Hey, you've got to hide your love away.

Hey, you've got to hide your love away.

[Gray Beard]

Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl 

You better, better hide your heart

Eli's comin', better walk

Walk but you'll never get away

No, you'll never get away

From the burnin' a-heartache I walked to Apollo by the bay

Everywhere I go though, Eli's a-comin’

[Bill from NYC]

Whatcha tryin' to do to my heart?

Whatcha tryin' to do to my heart?

You go around tellin' lies and now you wanna compromise,

Whatcha tryin' to do to my heart?

[SinceThe70s]

I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here

[PastaJoe]

I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been admired by, it's such a fine light
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

 

Keep me searching for a Heart of gold
And I'm getting old

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

I've wandered so aimless, life filled with sin
I wouldn't let my dear Savior in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

Jesus just left Chicago
And he's bound for New Orleans
Jesus just left Chicago
And he's bound for New Orleans
Workin' from one end to the other

And all points in between

 

[Gray Beard]

The train pulls out at Kankakee
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields
Passin' trains that have no names
Freight yards full of old black men
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles

 

Good morning America how are you?
Don't you know me I'm your native son
I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

[Bill from NYC]

When I wake up in the morning love,

And the sunlight hurts my eyes,

And something without warning love,

Bears heavy on my mind.

 

Then I look at you,

And the world's alright with me.

Ah, just one look at you,

And I know it's gonna be,

A lovely day.

[WhoTom]

Dark star I see you in the morning
Dark star a-sleeping next to me
Dark star let the memory of the evening
Be the first thing that you think of
When you open up your smile and see me

Dark star

 

[Gray Beard]

Well now some folks are born into a good life,
And other folks get it anyway, anyhow,
Well now I lost my money and I lost my wife,
Them things don't seem to matter much to me now. 
Tonight I'll be on that hill 'cause I can't stop, 
I'll be on that hill with everything I got, 
With lives on the line where dreams are found and lost,
I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost, 
For wanting things that can only be found 
In the darkness on the edge of town.
In the darkness on the edge of town.

[SinceThe70s]

And I don't wanna be an old man anymore
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life

[Gugny]

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

 

Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.

 

Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things
that don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.
 

[KD in CA]

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night,
I can see paradise by the dashboard light

[Gugny]

Tonight's the night we'll make history, honey, you and I
And I'll take any risk to tie back the hands of time
And stay with you here tonight

I know you feel these are the worst of times
I do believe it's true
When people lock their doors and hide inside
Rumor has it it's the end of Paradise

But I know, if the world just passed us by
Baby I know, you wouldn't have to cry

 

The best of times are when I'm alone with you
Some rain some shine, we'll make this a world for two

Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime
We'll take the best, forget the rest
And someday we'll find

These are the best of times

[Gray Beard]

Oh darling I'm so lonely without you
Can't sleep at night always think about you
But if I had the chance to start all over
I would be wishing today on a four leaf clover
And leaving you would be the last thing on my mind
If I could turn back the hands of time

[SinceThe70s]

I'm looking over a four-leaf clover

That I overlooked before

[Gray Beard]

Look out, here comes tomorrow
That's when I'll have to choose
How I wish I could borrow
Someone else's shoes

 

Mary, oh what a sweet girl
Lips like strawberry pie
Sandra, the long hair and pig tails
Can't make up my mind

 

I see all kinds of sorrow
Wish I only loved one
Look out, here comes tomorrow
Oh, how I wish tomorrow would never come

[Bill from NYC]

Never, I never met a girl like you in my life.

Never, no no, yeah, I never met a girl like you in my life.

 

The way that you hold me in the night,

The way that you make things go right,

Whenever you're in my arms, You're fulfilling me with all your charms.
