If you hear a politician
Or a singer making song
Do you just refuse to listen
Knowing that he must be wrong
Thats the way it is, you know
You just see what you want to see
Who am I to tell you how to think
Or tell you who to be
I will show you what I know
Sometimes we will disagree
If we learn at all to grow
Then I hav... |
It came to pass
Like lightning striking from above
Electric flash
Just like lightening striking from above
Struck by precious love
Precious precious love
So hopeless and so inspired
Why do you dream flat tires
When you dream flat tires?
You dream flat tires
With a jack and a spare youre there
Trying to get to where lov... |
No regrets Coyote
We just come from such different sets of circumstance
Im up all night in the studios
And youre up early on your ranch
Youll be brushing out a brood mares tail
While the sun is ascending
And Ill just be getting home with my reel to reel

Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning
And the first thing that I heard
Was a song outside my window
And the traffic wrote the words
It came ringing up like Christmas bells
And rapping up like pipes and drums
Oh, wont you stay well put on the day
And well wear it till the night comes
Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning
And th... |
Blue
Songs are like tattoos
You know Ive been to sea before
Crown and anchor me
Or let me sail away
Hey, blue
There is a song for you
Ink on a pin
Underneath the skin
An empty space to fill in
Well, theres so many sinking now
You gotta keep thinking
You can make it through these waves
Acid, booze, and ass
Needles, guns... |
Its coming on Christmas
Theyre cutting down trees
Theyre putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace

So I remember, um, Marianne, and Sue, and DeeDee, and, um, Connie, and I would be in chorus together. And we were always looking forward to those silly things you used to do at the end of the year. You know, those spring concerts. And, um, this was one of the songs we did one year. And I remember this was Mariannes fav... |
(The, uh, last song now
And, uh, its another one youll know very well
Because, uh, so many people have recorded it
They all beat me to it and, uh, so
Never got around to doing it
But I still enjoy singing it
And I hope youll like to hear it
Its Both Sides Now)

Marlena under Foster Grants
Shes undercover from the dawns advance
That girl is travel-drained
And the neon mercury vapor stained
Miami sky

On louvered blocks in green sea air
In fluorescent fossil yards
Slippers are shuf... |
Just before our love got lost you said
I am as constant as a northern star
And I said, Constantly in the darkness
Wheres that at?
If you want me Ill be in the bar
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh, Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
Oh, you are in my blood li... |
Let me speak let me spit out my bitterness
Born of grief and nights without sleep and festering flesh
Do you have eyes?
Can you see like mankind sees?
Why have you soured and curdled me?
Oh you tireless watcher! What have I done to you?
That you make everything I dread and everything I fear come true?
Once I was blesse... |
I awoke today and found
The frost perched on the town
It hovered in a frozen sky
Then it gobbled summer down
When the sun turns traitor cold
And all the trees are shivering in a naked row
I get the urge for going
But I never seem to go
I get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
And summertime is fa... |
Joanie was an unmarried girl just turned twenty-seven
When they sent her to the sisters because of the way men looked at her
Branded as a jezebel she knew she was not bound for heaven
She had been cast in shame into the Magdalene laundries
Most girls went there pregnant some by their own fathers
Bridget got her belly f... |
If youre driving into town
With a dark cloud above you
Dial in the number
Whos bound to love you
Oh honey you turn me on

Broadcasting tower
Waving for you
And Im sending you out

The big man arrives
Disco dancers greet him
Plainclothes cops greet him
Small town, big man, fresh lipstick glistening
Sophomore jive
From victims of typewriters
The band sounds like typewriters
The big man hes not listening
His eyes hold Edith
His left hand holds his right
What does that hand desire
That he grips it s... |
I was driving across the burning desert
When I spotted six jet planes
Leaving six white vapor trails across the bleak terrain
It was the hexagram of the heavens
It was the strings of my guitar
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
The drone of flying engines
Is a song so wild and blue
It scrambles time and seasons if it ge... |
Out on some borderline
Some mark of inbetween
I lay down golden-in time
And woke up vanishing
Sweet bird you are
Briefer than a falling star
All these vain promises on beauty jars
Somewhere with your wings on time
You must be laughing
Behind our eyes
Calendars of our lives
Circled with compromise
Sweet bird of time and... |
Ill try to keep myself open up to you
Thats a promise that I made to love
When it was new
Just like Jericho I said
Let these walls come tumbling down
I said it like I finally found the way
To keep the good feelings alive
I said it like it was something to strive for
Ill try to keep myself open up to you
And approve you... |
The wind is in from Africa
Last night I couldnt sleep
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here, Carey
But its really not my home
My fingernails are filthy
I got beach tar on my feet
And I miss my clean white linen
And my fancy French cologne
Oh, Carey, get out your cane
And Ill put on some silver

Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
Ive looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done

Ive looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow... |
Caught in the middle
Carol were middle class
Were middle aged
We were wild in the old days
Birth of rock n roll days

And my childs a stranger

Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long

He is three
Ones in the middle unmoved
Waiting
To show what he sees
To the other two
To the one attacking so afraid
And the one that keeps trying to love and trust
And getting himself betrayed
In the plan oh
The divine plan
God must be a boogie man!
Ones so sweet
So overly loving and gentle

I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
So I asked him: Where are you going?
And this he told me:

Im gonna try and set my soul free

Sitting in a park in Paris, France

They wont give peace a chance
That was just a dream some of us had

Oh, but California

Theres a man whos been out sailing
In a decade full of dreams
And he takes her to a schooner

He has heard her off to starboard

See the stretching sun at dawning
Wipe the stardust from his eyes
Feel the morning breezes yawning
Telling me its time to rise

Any place is where Ive been
Anything is what Ive seen

Theres a crow flying
Black and ragged, tree to tree
Its black as that highway thats leading me
Now hes diving down to pick up
On something shiny

Took the plane to a taxi

Help me
I think Im falling
In love again
When I get
That crazy feeling
I know
Im in trouble again
Im in trouble
Cause youre a rambler

Ladies man
And you love your loving
But not like you
Love your freedom

The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in 68
And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday
Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark café
You laugh he said you think youre immune
Go look at your eyes theyre full of moon
You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you
All those pretty lies pretty... |
No tongue in the bell
And the fishwives yell
But they might as well be mute
So you get to keep the pictures
That dont seem like much
Cold white keys under your fingers
Now youre thinking
Thats no substitute
It just dont do it
Like the song of a warm warm body
Loving your touch
In the court they carve your legend

Turning and turning
Within the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer
Things fall apart
The center cannot hold
And a blood dimmed tide
Is loosed upon the world
Nothing is sacred
The ceremony sinks
Innocence is drowned
In anarchy
The best lack conviction
Given some time to think
And the worst are full of pass... |

I pulled up behind a Cadillac
We were waiting for the light
And I took a look at his license plate
It said Just Ice
Is justice just ice?
Governed by greed and lust?
Just the strong doing what they can
And the weak suffering what they must?
And the gas leaks
And the oil spills
And sex sells everything
And sex kills

It was a rainy night
We took a taxi to your mothers home
She went to Florida and left you
With you fathers gun, alone
Upon her small white bed

You sat up all the night and watched me
To see, who in the world I might be
I am from the Sunday school
I sing soprano in the upstairs choir

I met a friend of spirit
A drunk with sages eyes
And I sat before his sanity
I was holding back from crying
He saw my complications
And he mirrored me back simplified
And we laughed how our perfection
Would always be denied
Heart and humor and humility
He said Will lighten up your heavy load
I left him for the refuge ... |
Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like when youre older must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams

Everybody looks so ill at ease
So distrustful so displeased
Running down the table
I see a borderline
Like a barbed wire fence
Strung tight strung tense
Prickling with pretense
A borderline
Why are you smirking at your friend?
Is this to be the night when
All well-wishing ends?
All credibility revoked?
Thin skin thick ... |
Old Beale Street is coming down
Sweeties Snack Bar boarded up now
And Egles the Tailor and the Shine Boys gone

With a trumpet in his hand
Like hes listening back to the good old bands
And the click of high heeled shoes

Traveling, traveling, traveling
Looking for something, what can it be
Oh I hate you some, I hate you some, I love you some

I want to belong to the living
Alive, alive, I want to get up and jive

The lights down there, thats where well land

Now theres only one day left to go
Till you walk by

The weekends drive me mad
Holidays are oh too sad

And I took these two grey rooms up here
With a view

A long way from snow chains

And you stood out like a ruby in a black mans ear
You were playin on the horses, you were playin on the strings;

Do you tape them to your shoulders just to sing?

I met a child a year ago
Whose eyes would never see
She asked me with a timid smile
What colour is a tree?
In summertime a tree is green;
In autumn gold and red;
In winter they are frosted white
When all their leaves are shed.
I know the sky is blue, she said
And silver is the sand;
And apples are the brightest red

Im always running behind the time
Just like this train
Shaking into town
With the brakes complaining
I used to count lovers like railroad cars
I counted them on my side
Lately I dont count on nothing
I just let things slide
The station masters shuffling cards
Boxcars are banging in the yards
Jealous lovinll make you cr... |
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin hotspot
Dont it always seem to go
That you dont know what youve got till its gone?

They took all the trees, put them in a tree museum
And they charged the people

He is three
Ones in the middle unmoved
Waiting
To show what he sees
To the other two
To the one attacking so afraid
And the one that keeps trying to love and trust
And getting himself betrayed
In the plan oh
The divine plan
God must be a boogie man!
Ones so sweet
So overly loving and gentle
He lets people in
To his inn... |
Look out the left, the captain said
The lights down there, thats where well land
Saw a falling star burning
High above the Las Vegas sand
It wasnt the one that you gave to me
That night down south between the trailers
Not the early one that you wish upon
Not the northern one that guides in the sailors
Starbright, starb... |
Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
Ive looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
Ive looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow... |
Its coming on Christmas
Theyre cutting down trees
Theyre putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it dont snow here
It stays pretty green
Im going to make a lot of money
Then Im going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wi... |
These days
Seem like everybody trippin
People wild’n out
Problem solving with prescription
Legal all around
Nothing new, nothing different
Feeble as a crown
Fuck a view, an cop a vision
Uh
Be considerate
Y’all must have forgot
Ain’t your family
Ever teach yo ass how to talk
I remember when my gramma told me
Honey you m... |
Trina wears her wampum beads
She fills her drawing book with lines
Sewing lace on widows weeds
And filigree on leaf and vine
Vine and leave are filigree
And her coats a second hand one
Trimmed with antique luxury
She is a lady of the canyon
Annie sits you down to eat
She always makes you welcome in
Cats and babies roun... |
Cherokee Louise is hiding in this tunnel
In the Broadway bridge
Were crawling on our knees
Weve got flashlights and batteries
Weve got cold cuts from the fridge
Last year about this time
We used to climb up in the branches
Just to sway there in some breeze
Now the cops on the street
They want Cherokee Louise
People li... |

Theres a man whos been out sailing
In a decade full of dreams
And he takes her to a schooner
And he treats her like a queen
Bearing beads from California
With their amber stones and green
He has called her from the harbor
He has kissed her with his freedom
He has heard her off to starboard
In the breaking and the breat... |
