This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend
The end of our elaborate plans
The end of everything that stands


The end
No safety or surprise
The end
I'll never look into your eyes again


Can you picture what will be?
So limitless and free
Desperately in need of some stranger's hand
In a desperate land

Make no mistake where you are
(This is it)
Your back's to the corner
(This is it)
Don't be a fool anymore
(This is it)

The waiting is over, no, don't you run

But what a fool believes, he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
Than nothing at all

Yeah, along came Mr. Goodtrips
Lookin' for a new a ship
Come on, people, better climb on board
Come on, baby, now we're goin' home
Ship of fools
Ship of fools

Every time I think that I'm
The only one who's lonely someone calls on me
And every now and then I spend
My time at rhyme and verse and curse those faults in me

And then along comes Mary
Mary, Mary
Then along comes Mary
Mary, Mary

Left a good job in the city 
Workin' for the man ev'ry night and day 
And I never lost one minute of sleepin' 
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turnin' 
Proud Mary keep on burnin' 
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

 

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis 
Pumped a lot of 'pane down in New Orleans 
But I never saw the good side of a city 
'Til I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen

Big wheel keep on turnin' 
Proud Mary keep on burnin' 
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles (she came)
Blood in the streets, it's up to my knee (she came)
Blood in the streets, the town of Chicago (she came)
Blood on the rise, it's following me
Think about the break of day

She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon

Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday
Tuesday's on the phone to me

Tuesday afternoon
I'm just beginning to see
Now I'm on my way
It doesn't matter to me
Chasing the clouds away

 

Something calls to me
The trees are drawing me near
I've got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear
Explain it all with a sigh

Posted

You know I'm a dreamer
But my heart's of gold
I had to run away high
So I wouldn't come home low
Just when things went right
It doesn't mean they were always wrong

 

Just take this song
And you'll never feel left all alone
Take me to your heart
Feel me in your bones
Just one more night
And I'm coming off this long and winding road

 

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight, tonight
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home

Listen to this, and I'll tell you 'bout the heartache
I'll tell you 'bout the heartache and the loss of God
I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night
The meager food for souls forgot
I'll tell you 'bout the maiden with wrought iron soul

Posted

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

Posted

Well long, tall Sally, she's built for speed, she got
Everything that Uncle John need
Oh baby, yeah, baby, whoo-ooh, hoo-ooh, baby
Havin' me some fun tonight, yeah

Let's swim to the moon, uh huh 
Let's climb through the tide 
Penetrate the evenin' that the 
City sleeps to hide 
Let's swim out tonight, love 
It's our turn to try 
Parked beside the ocean 
On our moonlight drive

People of the earth can you hear me?
Came a voice from the sky on that magical night
And in the colors of a thousand sunsets
They traveled through the world on a silvery light


The people of the earth stood waiting
Watching as the ships came one by one
Setting fire to the sky as they landed
Carrying to the world children of the sun
Children of the sun

Long distance runner, what you standin' there for?
Get up, get out, get out of the door
You're playin' cold music on the barroom floor
Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core
There's a dragon with matches that's loose on the town
Takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down

Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain

Posted

Long distance runaround
Long time waiting to feel the sound
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye
Did we really tell lies
Letting in the sunshine
Did we really count to one hundred

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinkin' that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling

 

We could've had it all (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

I want to tell you 'bout Texas radio and the big beat
Comes out of the Virginia swamps
Cool and slow with plenty of precision
With a back beat narrow and hard to master


Some call it heavenly in its brilliance
Others, mean and rueful of the Western dream
I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft
We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping
This is the land where the Pharaoh died
