Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know
It's been comin' for some time
When it's over, so they say
It'll rain a sunny day
I know
Shinin' down like water
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Yesterday, and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know
Been that way for all my time
'Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow
I know
It can't stop, I wonder
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Yeah
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

I hear a wind
Whistling air
Whispering
In my ear
Boy Mercury shooting through every degree
Oh girl dancing down those dirty and dusty trails
Take it hip to hip, rocket through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without wings, without wheels
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without anything but the love we feel
Skip the airstrip to the sunset, yeah
Ride the arrow to the target, one
Take it hip to hip, rock it through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without wings, without wheels
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without anything but the love we feel
Fly the great big sky
See the great big sea
Kick through continents
Busting boundaries
Take it hip to hip, rocket through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without wings, without wheels
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without anything but the love we feel
Take it hip to hip
Rocket through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip
Rocket through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip
Rocket through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip
Rocket through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip
Rocket through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip
Rocket through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip

She was a girl on a wagon train
Haded west across the plains
The train got lost in a summer storm
They couldn't move west and they couldn't go home
Then she saw him ridin' through the rain
He took charge of the wagons and he saved the train
And she looked down and her heart was gone
The train went west but she stayed on
In Lonesome Dove
A farmer's daughter with a gentle hand
A blooming rose in a bed of sand
She loved the man who wore a star
A Texas Ranger known near and far
So they got married and they had a child
But times were touch and the West was wild
So it was no surprise the day she learned
That her Texas man would not return
To Lonesome Dove
Back to back with the Rio Grande
A Christian woman in the devil's land
She learned the language and she learned to fight
But she never learned how to beat the lonely nights
In Lonesome Dove, Lonesome Dove
She watched her boy grow into a man
He had an angel's heart and the devil's hand
He wore his star for all to see
He was a Texas lawman legacy
The one day word blew into town
It seemed the men that shot his father down
Had robbed a bank in Cherico
The only thing 'tween them and Mexico
Was Lonesome Dove
The shadows stretched across the land
As the shots rang out down the Rio Grande
And when the smoke had finally cleared the street
The men lay at the ranger's feet
But legend tells to this very day
That shots were comin' from an alleyway
Though no one knows who held the gun
There ain't no doubt if you ask someone
In Lonesome Dove
Back to back with the Rio Grande
A Christian woman in the devil's land
She learned the language and she learned to fight
But she never learned how to beat the lonely nights
In Lonesome Dove, Lonesome Dove
I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
I knew he must've been about 17
The beat was goin' strong
Playin' my favorite song
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
'Til he was with me, yeah, me
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
'Til he was with me, yeah, me, singin'
"I love rock 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n roll
So come and take your time and dance with me"
Ow!
He smiled, so I got up and asked for his name
"That don't matter", he said, "'Cause it's all the same"
Said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?"
And next, we were movin' on, he was with me, yeah, me
Next, we were movin' on, he was with me, yeah, me, singin'
"I love rock 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n roll
So come and take your time and dance with me"
Ow!
Said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?
Next, we were movin' on, he was with me, yeah, me
And we'll be movin' on and singin' that same old song
Yeah, with me, singin'
"I love rock 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n roll
So come and take your time and dance with me"
I love rock 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n roll
So come and take your time and dance with-
I love rock 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n roll
So come and take your time and dance with-
I love rock 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n roll
So come and take your time and dance with-
I love rock 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n roll
So come and take your time and dance with me

I heard you on the wireless back in '52
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
(Oh-a-oh)
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine on new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see
I met your children
(Oh, a, oh)
What did you tell them?
Pictures came and broke your heart
(Oh-a-a-a-oh)
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go
You were the first one
(Oh-a-oh)
You were the last one
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind we've gone too far
(Oh-a-a-a-oh)
(Oh-a-a-a-oh)
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind we've gone too far
Pictures came and broke your heart
Put the blame on VCR

On the horizon
The landscape's burning red
Bushfire
Smoke in your eyes
Smoke in your eyes
If you feel something
That makes you warm all over
If you got a fire and you can't put it out
Got a bushfire
Rolling through a field of molten flowers (aaaah)
Burning in a field of molten flowers (aaaah)
There's a bushfire (aaaah)
There a bushfire burning, yeah (aaaah)
Bushfire

My mind's been going places without me lately
I need your arms to take me down
Take me to the ground
But I hold back
Get away from the heat
Hold back
In my field of vision
Hold back
Baby burning, fire
Fire in a field of molten flowers (aaaah)
Fire in a field of molten flowers (aaaah)
There's a bushfire burning, yeah (aaaah)
You better hold back, hold back (aaaah)

But I'm moving to the beat of a big bushfire
I'm dancing to the heat of a big bushfire
And the flames are warm and getting brighter
Whoo-hoo
Well everybody likes to dance around the heat and fire
Oh, lightning strike twice!
Hey everybody bask in the afterglow
Bushfire
Yeah, lightning strike twice!
Hey everybody bask in the afterglow
Bushfire
Naked light shining over my bed
Been lying here too long
I need your arms to take me down
Take me to the ground
But I hold back
Get away from the heat
Hold back
In my field of vision
Hold back
I see smoke
Smoke in your eyes

You've been picked and it's over What's that chip on your shoulder Outside, were solid rainbows Inside, is where the heart grows
Picking up the pieces Something more to believe in As you search the embers Think what you had, remember
Hang on, don't go let go now You know, with every heartbeat We love, nothing comes easy Hang on, ask the lonely
You've got some fascination With your high expectations This love is your obsession Your heart, your past possession
Let down your defenses Won't be up to the one who cares As you search the embers Think what you had, remember
Hang on, don't go let go now You know, with every heartbeat We love, nothing comes easy Hang on, ask the lonely
When you're feeling love's unfair, you just ask the lonely When you're lost in deep despair, you just ask the lonely
When you're feeling love's unfair, you just ask the lonely When you're lost in deep despair, you just ask the lonely When you're feeling love's unfair, (you) you just ask the lonely When you're lost in deep despair, (you) you just ask the lonely
Ask the lonely
When you're down in deep despair When you're down in deep despair Ask the lone-lone-lone-lone-lone-lone lonely Lone-lone-lone lonely Lonely
She came from Providence One in Rhode Island Where the old world shadows hang Heavy in the air She packed her hopes and dreams Like a refugee Just as her father came across the sea
She heard about a place People were smilin' They spoke about the red man's way And how they loved the land
And they came from everywhere To the Great Divide Seeking a place to stand Or a place to hide
Down in the crowded bars Out for a good time Can't wait to tell you all What it's like up there
And they called it paradise I don't know why Somebody laid the mountains low While the town got high
Then the chilly winds blew down Across the desert Through the canyons of the coast To the Malibu
Where the pretty people play Hungry for power To light their neon way Give them things to do
Some rich men came and raped the land Nobody caught 'em Put up a bunch of ugly boxes And Jesus people bought 'em
And they called it paradise The place to be They watched the hazy sun Sinking in the sea
You can leave it all behind Sail to Lahaina Just like the missionaries did So many years ago
They even brought a neon sign "Jesus is coming" Brought the white man's burden down Brought the white man's reign
Who will provide the grand design? What is yours and what is mine? 'Cause there is no more new frontier We have got to make it here
We satisfy our endless needs And justify our bloody deeds In the name of destiny And in the name of God
And you can see them there On Sunday morning Stand up and sing about What it's like up there
They call it paradise I don't know why You call someplace paradise Kiss it goodbye

Jessie is a friend, Yeah I know he's been a good friend of mine But lately something's changed It ain't hard to define Jessie's got himself a girl And I want to make her mine And she's watching him with those eyes And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night
You know I wish that I had Jessie's Girl I wish that I had Jessie's Girl Where can I find a woman like that
I'll play along with this charade That doesn't seem to be a reason to change You know I feel so dirty when they start talking cute I wanna tell her that I love her but the point is probably moot 'Cause she's watching him with those eyes And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night
You know I wish that I had Jessie's Girl I wish that I had Jessie's Girl Where can I find a woman like that?
Like Jessie's Girl I wish that I had Jessie's Girl Where can I find a woman Where can I find a woman like that
And I'm lookin' in the mirror all the time Wonderin' what she don't see in me I've been funny; I've been cool with the lines Ain't that the way love's supposed to be Tell me where can I find a woman like that
You know I wish that I had Jessie's Girl I wish that I had Jessie's Girl I want Jessie's girl Where can I find a woman like that? Like Jessie's Girl

There've been times in my life I've been wonderin' why Still, somehow I believed we'd always survive Now, I'm not so sure You're waiting here, one good reason to try But, what more can I say? What's left to provide?
Are you gonna wait for a sign, your miracle? Stand up and fight
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 No way to hide No time for wonderin' why It's here, the moment is now, about to decide Let 'em believe Leave 'em behind But keep me near in your heart Know whatever you do, I'm here by your side
For once in your life, here's your miracle Stand up and fight
Make no mistake where you are (This is it) You're goin' no further (This is it) Until it's over and done
Oh oh oh oh (Who makes the choice of how it goes?) It's not up to me this time (You know) Comes a day in every life
Make no mistake where you are (This is it) You're goin' no further (This is it) Until it's over and done (This is it) One way or another (This is it) (No one can tell what the future holds) (This is it) Your back's to the corner (This is it) (You make the choice of how it goes) (This is it) The waiting is over (This is it) (No one can tell what the future holds) (This is it) You're goin' no further (This is it)

Wild boys, wild boys, wild boys
Wild boys
The wild boys are calling on their way back from the fire
In August moon's surrender to a dust cloud on the rise
Wild boys fallen far from glory, reckless and so hungered
On the razor's edge you trail because there's murder
By the roadside in a sore afraid new world
They tried to break us, looks like they'll try again
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine
You got sirens for a welcome, there's bloodstain for your
pain
And your telephone been ringing while you're dancing in the rain
Wild boys wonder where is glory, where is all you angels
Now the figureheads have fell
And lovers war with arrows over secrets they could tell
They tried to tame you, looks like they'll try again
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine
Wild boys, wild boys, wild boys
Wild boys, wild boys, wild boys
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way

A few stolen moments is all that we share
You've got your family and they need you there
Though I've tried to resist being last on your list
But no other man's gonna do
So I'm saving all my love for you
It's not very easy living all alone
My friends try and tell me find a man of my own
But each time I try, I just break down and cry
'Cause I'd rather be home feeling blue
So I'm saving all my love for you
You used to tell me we'd run away together
Love gives you the right to be free
You said be patient just wait a little longer
But that's just an old fantasy
I've got to get ready just a few minutes more
Gonna get that old feeling when you walk through that door
'Cause tonight is the night for feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love
Yes, I'm saving all my love
Yes, I'm saving all my love for you
No other woman is gonna love you more
'Cause tonight is the night that I'm feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love
Yeah, I'm saving all my lovin'
Yes, I'm saving all my love for you
For you
For you
I try to discover A little something to make me sweeter Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart I'm so in love with you I'll be forever blue That you gimme no reason Why you make-a-me work so hard
That you gimme no That you gimme no That you gimme no That you gimme no
Soul, I hear you calling Oh baby, please, give a little respect to me
And if I should falter Would you open you arms out to me? We can make love not war And live at peace with our hearts I'm so in love with you I'll be forever blue What religion or reason Could drive a man to forsake his lover?
Don't you tell me no Don't you tell me no Don't you tell me no Don't you tell me no
Soul, I hear you calling Oh baby, please, give a little respect to me
I'm so in love with you I'll be forever blue That you gimme no reason You know you make-a-me work so hard
That you gimme no That you gimme no That you gimme no That you gimme no
Soul, I hear you calling Oh baby, please, give a little respect to me
Soul, I hear you calling Oh baby, please, give a little respect to me
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must have been something you said I just died in your arms tonight
I keep lookin' for somethin' I can't get Broken hearts lie all around me And I don't see an easy way to get out of this Her diary, it sits by the bedside table The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been some kind of kiss I should've walked away I should've walked away
Is there any just cause for feelin' like this? On the surface, I'm a name on a list I try to be discreet, but then blow it again I've lost and found, it's my final mistake She's loving by proxy, no give and all take 'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been some kind of kiss I should've walked away I should've walked away
It was a long hot night She made it easy, she made it feel right But now it's over, the moment has gone I followed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been some kind of kiss I should've walked away I should've walked away
Last night, I had the strangest dream
I sailed away to China
In a little rowboat to find ya
And you said you had to get your laundry clean
Didn't want no one to hold you, what does that mean?
And you said
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down
Oh no, I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothin' gonna break-a my stride
I'm runnin' and I won't touch ground
Oh no, I got to keep on moving
You're on a roll and now you pray it lasts
The road behind was rocky
But now you're feeling cocky
You look at me and you see your past
Is that the reason why you're runnin' so fast?
And she said
Ain't nothin' gonna break-a my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down
Oh no, I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
I'm runnin' and I won't touch ground
Oh no, I got to keep on moving
(Never let another girl like you)
Work me over
(Never let another girl like you)
Drag me under
(If I meet another girl like you)
I will tell her
(Never want another girl like you)
Have to say, oh
Ain't nothin' gonna break-a my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down
Oh no (Oh no), I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
I'm runnin' and I won't touch ground
Oh no, I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothin' gonna break-a my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down
Oh no (Oh no), I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothin' gonna break-a my stride
I'm runnin' and I won't touch ground
Oh no, I got to keep on moving
(Whoa)
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down
Oh no, I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothin' gonna break-a my stride
I'm runnin' and I won't touch ground
Oh no, I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothin' gonna break-a my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down
Oh no (Oh no), I got to keep on moving
Where it began
I can't begin to know when
But then I know it's growin' strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along?
Hands, touchin' hands
Reachin' out, touchin' me, touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
But now I…
Look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when holdin' you?
One, touchin' one
Reachin' out, t[Verse 1]
Where it began
I can't begin to know when
But then I know it's growin' strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along?
Hands, touchin' hands
Reachin' out, touchin' me, touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
But now I…
Look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when holdin' you?
One, touchin' one
Reachin' out, touchin' me, touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh no, no
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Sweet Caroline
I believe they never could
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Touchin' me, touchin' you

To believe they never would
Oh no, no

Over the mountain
Down in the valley
Lives a former talk-show host
Everybody knows his name
He says there's no doubt about it
It was the myth of fingerprints
I've seen them all and man
They're all the same
Well, the sun gets weary
And the sun goes down
Ever since the watermelon
And the lights come up
On the black pit town
Somebody says what's a better thing to do
Well, it's not just me
And it's not just you
This is all around the world
Out in the Indian Ocean somewhere
There's a former army post
Abandoned now just like the war
And there's no doubt about it
It was the myth of fingerprints
That's what that old army post was for
Well, the sun gets bloody
And the sun goes down
Ever since the watermelon
And the lights come up
On the black pit town
Somebody says what's a better thing to do
Well, it's not just me
And it's not just you
This is all around the world
Over the mountain
Down in the valley
Lives the former talk-show host
Far and wide his name was known
He said there's no doubt about it
It was the myth of fingerprints
That's way we must learn to live alone

Once in your life you find her

Wake up and it's still with you

All of his life, his master's toys
Deep in his heart, he's just, he's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
And showing himself a pretty good time
Laughing about the way they want him to be

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?

Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Come on, try and tell me what they thought about
Those things you're dealing with, you're living a lie
Every time I see you, it makes me wanna cry
Sometimes we'd laugh and talk, seems like yesterday
Then you let the white horse come and take you away
They came to get you, it was cold, black
Those wheels were in motion, there was no turning back
Running from an angel
Running to the devil, devil, yeah
Running from an angel
Running to the devil
I gave up on you a long time ago
But there's something I want you to know
Your lying and cheating really tore us apart
Please don't come home

Here you come again
Just when I've begun to get myself together
You waltz right in the door
Just like you've done before
And wrap my heart 'round your little finger
Here you come again
Just when I'm about to make it work without you
You look into my eyes
And lie those pretty lies
And pretty soon I'm wonderin' how I came to doubt you
All you got to do is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you and in a little while
You're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses
Here you come again
Lookin' better than a body has a right to
And shakin' me up so
That all I really know is here you come again

Out in Luckenbach, Texas, ain't nobody feelin' no pain
So baby, let's sell your diamond ring
Buy some boots and faded jeans and go away
This coat and tie is choking me
In your high society, you cry all day
We've been so busy keepin' up with the Jones
Four car garage and we're still building on
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love

Tell us what you're gonna do tonight, momma There must be someplace you can go In the middle of the tall drinks and the drama There must be someone you know
God knows you're lookin' good enough But you're so smooth and the world's so rough You might have somethin' to lose
Oh no, pretty momma, what you gonna do in those shoes
Got those pretty little straps around your ankles Got those shiny little chains around your heart You got to have your independence But you don't know just where to start
Desperation in the singles bars And all those jerk offs in their fancy cars You can't believe your reviews
Oh no, you can't do that once you started wearin' those shoes
They're lookin' at you, leanin' on you Tell you anything you want to hear They give you tablets of love They're waiting for you, got to score you Handy with a shovel and so sincere Ooh, they got the kid glove
You just want someone to talk to They just want to get their hands on you You get whatever you choose
Oh no, you can't do that once you started wearin' those shoes Oh no, you can't do that once you started wearin' those shoes
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime When you take you gotta give so live and let live and let go oh oh oh oh I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
I could promise you things like big diamond rings But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover So you better think it over Well, if sweet talking you could make it come true I would give you the world right now on a silver platter But what would it matter So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon But if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon let you go But there's one thing I want you to know You'd better look before you leap still waters run deep And there won't always be someone there to pull you out And you know what I'm talking about So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy Come along and share the good times while we can

One love, feeds the fire One heart, burns desire I wonder who's crying now? Two hearts, born to run Who'll be the lonely one? I wonder who's crying now?
So many stormy nights So many wrong or rights Neither could change their headstrong ways And in a lover's rage They turn another page The fighting is worth the love they save
One love, feeds the fire One heart, burns desire I wonder who's crying now? Two hearts, born to run Who'll be the lonely one? I wonder who's crying now?
Only so many tears you can cry 'Til the heartache is over And now you can say your love Will never die
Whoa ooh ooh, ooh ooh

Do you believe in love Do you believe it's true Do you believe in love And you're making me believe it too
Now the feeling is beginning to grow And the meaning is something you only know If you believe it take my hand and I'll take your heart Come one Now I'm wonderin' (wonderin') where does true love begin I'm going under (under) so I'm lettin' you in My woman (I don't want to be lonely baby please tell me) I want to love you all over
Do you believe in love? (Do you believe it's true) Do you believe that it's true? Oh, you're making me believe it too
I'm so glad it's changed (But now I've got you and it's gonna last) Do you believe in love?

We may still have time We might still get by Every time I think about it I wanna cry With bombs and the devil And the kids keep coming No way to breathe easy No time to be young
But I tell myself that I'm doing alright There's nothing left to do at night But go crazy on you Crazy on you Let me go crazy, crazy on you
My love is the evening breeze touching your skin The gentle sweet singing of leaves in the wind The whisper that calls after you in the night And kisses your ear in the early light
And you don't need to wonder, you're doing fine And my love, the pleasure's mine Let me go crazy on you Crazy on you Let me go crazy, crazy on you
Wild man's world is crying in pain What you gonna do when everybody's insane? So afraid of one who's so afraid of you What you gonna do?
Crazy on you Crazy on you Let me go crazy, crazy on you
I was a willow last night in my dream I bent down over a clear running stream Sang you the song that I heard up above And you kept me alive with your sweet flowing love
Crazy, crazy on you Let me go crazy, crazy on you
