1. TELL ME WHY

Sailing heart-ships
Through broken harbors
Out on the waves in the night
Still the searcher
Must ride the dark horse
Racing alone in his fright
Tell me why, tell me why

Is it hard to make
Arrangements with yourself
When you're old enough to repay
But young enough to sell

Tell me lies later
Come and see me
I'll be around for a while
I am lonely but you can free me
All in the way that you smile
Tell me why, tell me why

Is it hard to make
Arrangements with yourself
When you're old enough to repay
But young enough to sell

Tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why, tell me why


2. AFTER THE GOLD RUSH

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree
There was a fanfare blowing
To the sun
That was floating on the breeze
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies

I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst thru the sky
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like getting high.
I was thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie
Thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie

Well, I dreamed I saw the silver
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun
There were children crying
And colors flying
All around the chosen one
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun
They were flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home in the sun
Flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home


3. ONLY LOVE CAN BREAK YOUR HEART

When you were young and on your own
How did it feel to be alone
I was always thinking of games that I was playing
Trying to make the best of my time

But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart

I have a friend
I've never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Someone should call him and see if he can come out
Try to lose the down that he's found

But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart

I have a friend
I've never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Yes, only love can break your heart
Yes, only love can break your heart


4. SOUTHERN MAN

Southern man better keep your head
Don't forget what your good book said
Southern change gonna come at last
Now your crosses are burning fast
Southern man

I saw cotton and I saw black
Tall white mansions and little shacks.
Southern man
When will you pay them back
I heard screaming and bullwhips cracking
How long
How long

Southern man better keep your head
Don't forget what your good book said
Southern change gonna come at last
Now your crosses are burning fast
Southern man

Lily Belle, your hair is golden brown
I've seen your black man coming round
Swear by God
I'm gonna cut him down
I heard screaming and bullwhips cracking
How long
How long


5. TILL THE MORNING COMES

I'm gonna give you
Till the morning comes
Till the morning comes,
Till the morning comes.

I'm only waiting
Till the morning comes
Till the morning comes
Till the morning comes


6. OH, LONESOME ME

Everybody's going out and having fun
I'm a fool for staying home and having none.
I can't get over how she set me free.
Oh, lonesome me.

There must be some way that I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about my past and find someone new
I've thought of everything from A to Z
Oh, lonesome me.

I'll bet she's not like me.
She's out and fancy free,
Flirting with the boys with all her charms
But I still love her so,
And brother don't you know
I'd welcome her right back here in my arms


7. DON’T LET IT BRING YOU DOWN

Old man lying by the side of the road
With the lorries rolling by
Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load
And the buildings scrape the sky
Cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn
And the morning paper flies
Dead man lying by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around

Blind man running through the light of the night
With an answer in his hand,
Come on down to the river of sight
And you can really understand
Red lights flashing through the window in the rain
Can you hear the sirens moan
White cane lying in a gutter in the lane
If you're walking home alone

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around


8. BIRDS

Lover, there will be another one
Who'll 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

Nestled in your wings my little one
This 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. WHEN YOU DANCE I CAN REALLY LOVE

When you dance
Do your senses tingle
Then take a chance
In a trance
While the lonely mingle
With circumstance

I've got something to tell you
You make it show
Let me come over
I know you know
When you dance
I can really love

I can love,
I can really love
I can really love
I can love,
I can really love
I can really love

Like a mountain that's growing
A river that rolls
Let me come over
I know you know
When you dance
I can really love

When you dance
Do your senses tingle
Then take a chance
In a trance
While the lonely mingle
With circumstance

I've got something to tell you
you make it show
Let me come over
I know you know
When you dance
I can really love


10. I BELIEVE IN YOU

Now that you found yourself losing your mind
Are you here again
Finding that what you once thought was real
Is gone, and changing

Now that you made yourself love me
Do you think I can change it in a day
How can I place you above me
Am I lying to you when I say
That I believe in you
I believe in you

Coming to you at night
I see my questions
I feel my doubts
Wishing that maybe in a year or two
We could laugh and let it all out

Now that you made yourself love me
Do you think I can change it in a day
How can I place you above me
Am I lying to you when I say
That I believe in you
I believe in you


11. CRIPPLE CREEK FERRY

Hey, hey Cripple Creek ferry
Butting through the overhanging trees
Make way for the Cripple Creek ferry
The waters going down
It's a mighty tight squeeze

All alone the captain stands
Hasn't heard from his deck hands
The gambler tips his hat and walks towards the door.
It's the second half of the cruise.
And you know he hates to lose.

Hey, hey Cripple Creek ferry
Butting through the overhanging trees
Make way for the Cripple Creek ferry
The waters going down it's a mighty tight squeeze
