1. ROCK ME ON THE WATER

Oh people look around you
The signs are everywhere
You left him for somebody other than you
To be the one to care

You're lost inside your houses
There's no time to find you now
Oh your walls are burning
And your towers are turning
I've gotta leave you here
And try to get down to the sea somehow

Rock me on the water
Sister won't you soothe my fevered brow
O-oh rock me on the water
Gotta get down to the sea somehow

The road is filled with homeless souls
Every woman child and man
Who have no idea where they will go
But they'll help you if they can

Now everyone must have some thought
That's gonna pull them through somehow
Well the fires are raging hotter and hotter
But the sisters of the sun
Are gonna rock me on the water now

Rock me on the water
Sister won't you soothe my fevered brow
O-oh rock me on the water
I gotta get down to the sea somehow

Oh people look among you
It's there your hope must lie
There's a seabird above you gliding in one place
Like Jesus in the sky
We all must do the best we can
And then hang onto that gospel cloud
When my life is over
Gonna stand for the father
But the sisters of the sun
Are gonna rock me on the water now

Rock me on the water
Sister won't you soothe my fevered brow
O-oh rock me on the water
Then maybe I'll remember
Maybe I'll remember how

Rock me on the water
The wind is with me now
O-oh rock me on the water
Gotta get down to the sea somehow
I gotta get down to the sea somehow


2. CRAZY ARMS

Now blue ain't the word for the way that I feel
And a storm is brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that's it real
You're someone else's love now, you're not mine

Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
But my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
That's why I'm lonely all the time

Please take these treasured dreams I had for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
Someday my crazy arms will hold somebody new
But right now I'm so lonesome I could die

Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
But my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
You're someone else's love now, you're not mine
Well you're someone else's love now, you're not mine


3. I WON'T BE HANGIN' ROUND

I've been alone too long
Sitting by myself
I'm getting to old
To help myself

But I won't be hangin round your door
Begging
No I won't be hangin round
To feel the pain
And if you take my life in hand
And finally make me understand
It won't do no good
You'll just hurt my plan

And I won't be hangin round your door
Begging
No I won't be hangin rond
To feel the pain

Sometimes I think I can't go on
And every day I live
Well it seems like my life's unreal
Sometimes I think I won't live too long
But I hope I'm wrong
That's the way I feel

And I won't be hangin round your door
Begging
No I won't be hangin round
To steal a kiss
I won't be hanging round your door
Begging
No i won't be hangin round
To feel the pain
No I won't be hangin round your door
Begging
Oh I won't be hangin round
To feel the pain


4. I STILL MISS SOMEONE

Round my door the leaves are falling
A cold wild wind will come
Sweethearts walk by together
And I still miss someone

No I never got over those blue eyes
I see them everywhere
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there

I wonder if he's sorry
For leaving what we'd begun
There's someone for me somewhere
But I still miss someone

No I never got over those blue eyes
I see them everywhere
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there


5. IN MY REPLY

Now Matthew was a country boy until one day he found
That cheatin' folks was easier than plowin' his daddy's ground
He left his home back in Ohio, bound for Chicago's town
He crossed Big Jim and turned his back
A bullet cut him down

And as he lay there dying
He said "Will I see my Ohio?"
In my reply I lied a bit
And said I did not know

Now Jim McCall he was meek and small
And to become a man
He'd have to build himself up tall
With fancy folks and land
He threw some stones at honest friends
And he got himself these things
His children left him and he sneered
"That's what my kindness brings"

And on the south side he got lost
He asked me where to go
In my reply I lied a bit
And said I did not know

Yes Miss Lazy Susan called me up
She heard I stole the show
In my reply I lied a bit
And said I did not know
In my reply I lied a bit and said I did not know


6. I FALL TO PIECES

I fall to pieces each time I see you again.
I fall to pieces
How can I be just your friend

You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget, pretend we've never met
And I've tried and I've tried but I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces

I fall to pieces each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces
Time only adds to the flame

You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me too
The way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces
Well you walk by and I fall to pieces


7. RAMBLIN' ROUND

Ramblin' round your city
Ramblin' round your town
But I never see a friend I know
As I go ramblin' round boys
As I go ramblin' round

The peach trees they are loaded
The branches are bending down
Well I pick 'em all day for a dollar, Lord
As I go ramblin' round boys
As I go ramblin' round

Sometimes the fruit gets rotten
Falls down on the ground
Well there's a hungry mouth for every peach
As I go ramblin' round boys
As I go ramblin' round

My father hoped that I would be
Someone of high renown
But I am just a refugee
As I go ramblin' round boys
As I go ramblin' round

Ramblin' round your city
Ramblin' round your town
Well I never see a friend I know
As I go ramblin' round boys
As I go ramblin' round


8. BIRDS

Lover, there will be another one
To hover over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come today

When you see me fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over
It's over

Nestle in your wings my little one
A special morning brings another sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come today

When you see me fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you and show you the way to go
It's over
It's over


9. FAITHFUL

You said loving you
And leaving you
Was the hardest thing to do
To give my foot
Another chance
To try another shoe
But every time I see someone
I'm always seeing you
No I have not always been faithful
I always have been true

Did you ever walk the empty street
Until the break of dawn
Just to hear some lonesome sparrow
Sing a lonesome song
Did it make you feel any better
Like a stranger left so low
Though you didn't know you both had been
A thousand miles from home

And you said loving you
And leaving you
Was the hardest thing to do
To give my foot
Another chance
To try another shoe
But every time I see someone
I'm always seeing you
No I have not always been faithful
I always have been true
No I have not always been faithful
I always have been true


10. RESCUE ME

Rescue me
I want you in my arms
Rescue me
I need your tender charms
Cause I'm lonely and I'm blue
I need you and your love too
Come on and rescue me
Come on baby and rescue me
Come on baby can't you see
That I need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely
Rescue me.

Come on and take my heart
Take your love and conquer every part
Cause I need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely

Rescue me
Come on and take my hand
Take my love I want you for my man
Cause I'm lonely and I'm blue
I need you and your love too
Come on and rescue me

Come on baby and rescue me
Come on baby can't you see
That I need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely

Love me baby
Hold me baby
Kiss me baby
Squeeze me baby
Oh baby help me baby
Oh baby Ah baby
