I WOKE UP, LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW
I PUT MY FEET ON THE FLOOR
HOLY MOLY, I DON’T THINK I CAN TAKE ANYMORE
I JUMPED UP, GRABBED MY HAT
I WENT TO TIE MY SHOES
I CAN’T WAIT TO WAYLAY THESE FEBRUARY BLUES
DON’T GIVE ME NEW YORK CITY
ALL I WANT IS SOMETHING PRETTY
FROM THE MARDI GRAS
I STARTED PACKIN’ TO LEAVE AT SEVEN
I GOT ALL THE BREAD I COULD FIND
I GAVE A PAT TO MY THERMOSTAT
I’M GOIN’ AWAY TO UNWIND
I TOOK OUT ALL MY COTTON SHIRTS
CAN’T WAIT TO FEEL THE HEAT
GOIN’ TO SEE THAT RED FISH FRYIN’
DOWN ON BOURBON STREET
DON’T GIVE ME NEW YORK CITY
ALL I WANT IS SOMEONE PRETTY
MY THOUGHTS RUN TWICE AS WIDE
AS THE ROAD THAT TAKES ME DOWN TO LA.
I’M RUNNIN’ AWAY, YEAH, (YEAH YEAH)
RUNNIN’ AWAY
NOTHIN’ GONNA GET IN MY WAY
GOIN’ DOWN TO CREOLE
AND GRAND MARNIER, YEAH, HEY YEAH
DOO DOO DOO...
I GOT NEW WAYS FOR MY OLD WAYS
BUT BABY, CAN’T YOU SEE?
GIVE ME A KISS AND I’LL BE ON MY WAY
I’LL SEND YOU A CARD FROM TENNESSEE
OH IT FEELS SO GOOD TO BE FREE
GOIN’ DOWN THAT BLACKTOP JUST THE RADIO AND ME
DON’T GIVE ME NEW YORK CITY
ALL I WANT IS SOMETHING PRETTY
FROM THE MARDI GRAS
DOO DOO DOO ...
(DON’T GIVE ME NEW YORK CITY) DOO DOO DOO ...
... OOOH YEAH!

Unto Light Unbroken

WAKE UP SLEEPY EYES
AND TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE
BEHIND THE CURTAIN OF YOUR DREAMS
WHERE YOU HIDE AWAY FROM ME
I WATCH YOU MAKE YOUR MOVIES
OUT OF SECRETS YOU HOLD DEEP
BUT IF YOU WANT TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT
IT CAN’T BE DONE ASLEEP
WAKE UNTO LIGHT UNBROKEN
YOU WILL NOT SEE YOUR SHADOW FOLLOW
TAKE HEART IN WORDS UNSPOKEN
SO YOU WON’T FEEL AFRAID
FOR TOO LONG YOU LIVED A VISION
WHERE YOU HAD TO DRAW A LINE
BETWEEN SOME LAND OF INDIFFERENCE
AND THE NEED TO FIND A SIGN
BUT FANCY IS AS FANCY DOES
AND IT’S NEVER BLACK AND WHITE
SO OPEN UP YOUR EYES MY DEAR
OR YOUR FEAR WILL RULE THE NIGHT
WAKE UNTO LIGHT UNBROKEN
YOU WILL NOT SEE YOUR SHADOW FOLLOW
TAKE HEART IN WORDS UNSPOKEN
SO YOU WON’T FEEL AFRAID
LIFE IS HARD ON LIVING
THAT’S BEEN YOUR POINT OF VIEW
SO YOU SLEEP IT ALL AWAY
IN REVERIE AS TRUTH
I CAN ONLY OFFER TO YOU
WHAT YOU NEVER KNEW
FOR I KNOW THE DREAMS YOU HAVE, MY LOVE,
I HAVE THEM TOO
WAKE UNTO LIGHT UNBROKEN
YOU WILL NOT SEE YOUR SHADOW FOLLOW
TAKE HEART IN WORDS UNSPOKEN
SO YOU WON’T FEEL AFRAID
WAKE UNTO LIGHT UNBROKEN
YOU WILL NOT SEE YOUR SHADOW FOLLOW
TAKE HEART IN WORDS UNSPOKEN
SO YOU WON’T FEEL AFRAID
SO YOU WON’T FEEL AFRAID
SO WE WON’T FEEL AFRAID

Rainy Day
04:39
|

SOMETIMES IT DOESN’T PAY TO DO YOUR OWN THINKIN’
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO DO IT ALL FOR FREE BUT WHEN I SAW THAT CLOUDY SKY
IT WAS A SAD RELIEF I SIGHED
‘CAUSE I KNEW THAT SOMETHIN’ SOMEWHERE WAS LOOKIN’ OUT FOR ME
I’M GONNA LET THIS RAINY DAY DO MY CRYIN’
I’M GONNA LET THIS RAINY DAY DO IT ALL
CAN’T THINK ABOUT IT
IT JUST GETS IN THE WAY
SO THIS RAINY DAY IS GONNA DO IT ALL
I HELD YOUR LOVE UP LIKE A CANDLE
I HELD IT NEAR ME LIKE A BEAM
BUT IT STARTED TO GROW DARK
AND I FANNED IT MUCH TOO HARD
NOW RAINDROP SHADOWS FALL DOWN
WHERE A FLICKER USED TO BE
I’M GONNA LET THIS RAINY DAY DO MY CRYIN’
I’M GONNA LET THIS RAINY DAY DO IT ALL
CAN’T THINK ABOUT IT
IT JUST GETS IN THE WAY
SO THIS RAINY DAY IS GONNA DO IT ALL
OVER AND OVER
I TELL MYSELF IT’S NOT OVER
NOT AN ENDING, BUT BEGINNING NOW
WE MAKE IT SOMEHOW
STILL TOGETHER
WHEN THE WEATHER PASSES RIGHT ON BY
SOMETIMES IT DOESN’T PAY TO DO YOUR OWN CRYIN’
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO DO IT ALL FOR FREE
BUT ANOTHER SUNNY DAY
WILL BE COMIN’ BACK MY WAY
UNTIL THEN I’LL LISTEN TO RAIN FALLIN’ IN THE STREET
I’M GONNA LET THIS RAINY DAY DO MY CRYIN’
I’M GONNA LET THIS RAINY DAY DO IT ALL
CAN’T THINK ABOUT IT
IT JUST GETS IN THE WAY
SO THIS RAINY DAY IS GONNA DO IT ALL
THIS RAINY DAY IS GONNA DO IT ALL

Times Will Get Better

I SAW YOU YESTERDAY
YOU LOOKED SO SAD
I DIDN’T KNOW
THINGS WERE SO BAD
AND WHEN YOU WENT AWAY
WORDS LEFT MY HEAD
I DIDN’T SAY
WHAT I SHOULD HAVE SAID
YOU’VE GOT YOUR HARD LUCK STORY
IT’S BLEEDING YOU DRY
WITH EVERY TEAR YOU CRY
TIMES WILL GET BETTER
‘CAUSE THEY GOT SO BAD THEY CAN’T GET WORSE
IF I KNEW HOW TO TURN BACK TIME
SPIN IT AROUND
HISTORY GONE
LIFE AGAIN FOUND
WAITING FOR YOU SAFE AND SOUND
YOU REALIZE LOVE NEVER DIES
BUT LIVES ON IN YOUR EYES
EVERY HARD LUCK STORY
ANOTHER LEVEL OF HELL
IN EVERY WORD YOU TELL
TIMES WILL GET BETTER
‘CAUSE THEY GOT SO BAD THEY CAN’T GET WORSE
YOU’VE GOT YOUR HARD LUCK STORY
AND I HAVE MINE
MAYBE SOMEDAY WE’LL FIND
TIMES WILL GET BETTER
‘CAUSE THEY GOT SO BAD THEY CAN’T GET WORSE
‘CAUSE THEY GOT SO BAD THEY CAN’T GET WORSE

IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND
YOU’D GO DIRECTLY TO MY HEART
OH DARLING WHAT YOU’LL FIND
IS THAT I’VE LOVED YOU FROM THE START
SO DON’T BE SAD WHEN I
AM FAR AWAY AND WE’RE APART
I’LL BE HERE IN GOOD TIME
MY LOVE IS MORE THAN JUST AN ART
DIDN’T I
DIDN’T I TELL YOU?
DIDN’T I
DIDN’T I TELL YOU NOT TO WORRY?
IN EVERYTHING I DO
FROM THE HEART AND FROM THE HEAD
IS MADE TO COMFORT YOU
IN THE WORDS THAT I HAVE SAID
SO HOLD ME CLOSELY TO
YOUR BODY WHEN YOU COME TO BED
I’LL NEVER BE UNTRUE
NO MATTER DOWN WHAT ROAD I’M LED, OH
DIDN’T I
DIDN’T I TELL YOU?
DIDN’T I
DIDN’T I TELL YOU NOT TO WORRY?
AHH AHH AHH
INTERLUDE
BUT NOW I MUST BE GONE
I’LL WRITE YOU EVERY DAY WITH LOVE
YOUR THOUGHTS ARE SAFE UPON
THE THOUGHTS THAT I AM THINKING OF
DIDN’T I
DIDN’T I TELL YOU?
DIDN’T I
DIDN’T I TELL YOU NOT TO WORRY?
DIDN’T I
DIDN’T I TELL YOU?
DIDN’T I
DIDN’T I TELL YOU NOT TO WORRY?
OH DIDN’T I DIDN’T I DIDN’T I OH OH NOT TO WORRY ...

SOFT AND TENDER
YOU ARE EVERYTHING TO ME
SOFT AND TENDER
YOU’RE THE ULTIMATE APPEAL
DIVINE AND REAL
SOFT AS SILK OR LACE
YOU ARE ALL THE SPICE IN MY TEA
POUR ANOTHER BREW FOR ME
WHEN I’M NEXT TO YOU
I LOVE TO DRINK THE VIEW
OH SO VERY SILENTLY
COOL AND GENTLE
IN THE MORNING LIGHT WITH YOU
COOL AND GENTLE
YOU ARE EVERYTHING
THAT ANY FOREIGN LAND COULD BE
YOU ARE THE WORLD TO ME
NEVER SAY YOU WILL OR YOU WON’T
PROMISES ARE NOT THE POINT
OF LOVING YOU THIS WAY
THEY CAN NEVER SAY
WHAT LOVE CAN SAY SO SILENTLY
AHH AHH
YOU ARE ALL THE SPICE IN MY TEA
POUR ANOTHER BREW FOR ME
WHEN I’M NEXT TO YOU
I LOVE TO DRINK THE VIEW
OH SO VERY SILENTLY
SILENTLY
LOVE ME IN THE SILENCE THAT YOU BREATHE

4:09 THE CLOCK IS TICKING
I CAN’T FALL ASLEEP WITH YOU ON MY MIND
I CLOSED THE DOOR ON EVERY OTHER

YOU REALLY CAUGHT ME READY
BUT I DIDN’T KNOW IT ‘TIL NOW
EVERYTHING THAT I EVER WANTED
HAPPENED TO ME
WHEN I OPENED MY ARMS, OPENED MY HEART
OPEN TO YOU
TO YOU TO YOU (READY READY)
I NEVER KNEW SUCH A FASCINATION
IN THE ARMS OF A MAN LIKE YOU
WELL YOU KNOW ME,
YOU TELL ME THAT YOU NEED ME
AND WHEN YOU HOLD ME I KNOW IT’S TRUE
YOU TOOK ME BY SURPRISE
YOU REALLY CAUGHT ME READY
BUT I DIDN’T KNOW IT ‘TIL NOW
EVERYTHING THAT I EVER WANTED

WHEN I OPENED MY ARMS OPENED MY HEART
OPEN TO YOU

Month Of Sundays

WE TOOK A LONG ROAD TO NOWHERE
AND MET A MAN ALONG THE WAY
HE SAID, “TELL ME, WHERE ARE YOU GOIN’?”
WE SAID, “GET OUT OF OUR WAY!”
IN THE VESTIBULE A SERVICE
WAS GIVEN FOR A MAN THEY SAY
MADE THE CHURCH A LITTLE NERVOUS
THEY PRAYED BUT WOULD NOT LET HIM STAY
ROLL YOURSELF A MONTH OF SUNDAYS LIES
ROLL YOURSELF BUT SOME DAY ONE DAY
YOU’RE GONNA RISE
ARE THESE DAYS SO WELL PROTECTED
FROM THE VIOLENCE OF THE WORD?
THERE IS A SILENCE DISCONNECTED
FROM DESTRUCTION LEFT UNHEARD
ROLL YOURSELF A MONTH OF SUNDAYS LIES
ROLL YOURSELF BUT SOME DAY ONE DAY
YOU’RE GONNA RISE
YOU’RE GONNA RISE
YOU’RE GONNA RISE RISE RISE RISE HEY
AHH OH
[interlude]
IN THE DWELLING OF THE CHOSEN
IS A HISTORY AND HOME
OF A GOD WHO CARES TO KNOW THEM
BUT LEAVES THE HERETICS TO ROAM
ROLL YOURSELF A MONTH OF SUNDAYS LIES
ROLL YOURSELF BUT SOME DAY ONE DAY
YOU’RE GONNA RISE
ROLL YOURSELF A MONTH OF SUNDAYS LIES
ROLL YOURSELF BUT SOME DAY ONE DAY
YOU’RE GONNA RISE
YOU’RE GONNA RISE
YOU’RE GONNA RISE RISE RISE RISE HEY

TIME GOES BY FASTER THAN A FREIGHT TRAIN
LOVERS COME AND LOVERS GO
BUT IN MY MIND YOUR MEMORY OFTEN LINGERS
SO I JUST HAD TO LET YOU KNOW
WRITE THESE WORDS DOWN
SEALED AND SIGNED
IN THIS WORLD, WHILE BREATH STILL STIRS MY BODY
YOU’RE IN MY HEART AND ON MY MIND
IN MY LIFE I’VE SEARCHED FOR DEEPER MEANING
TRAVELED FAR AND TRAVELED WIDE
BUT SEARCH THE WORLD AND WISDOM WILL ELUDE YOU
FOR IN THE HEART IT DOES ABIDE
TIME TO TRAVEL ON
SAY GOODBYE
IN THIS WORLD, WHILE BREATH STILL STIRS MY BODY
YOU’RE IN MY HEART AND ON MY MIND
PRECIOUS GIFTS YOU GAVE TO ME
THESE I WILL TAKE WITH ME ON MY JOURNEY
- interlude -
WRITE THESE WORDS DOWN
SEALED AND SIGNED
IN THIS WORLD, WHILE BREATH STILL STIRS MY BODY
YOU’RE IN MY HEART AND ON MY MIND

Sorrow And Treason
07:13

YOU RUN YOU HIDE YOU CRY
BUT YOU DON’T LOOK
YOU NEVER EVER LOOK INSIDE
TO SEE THE WORLD YOU TRY TO HIDE,
YOU CANNOT HIDE, CAN’T HIDE FROM ME
POOR BOY NO LOVE
THEY TOOK FROM YOU BUT NEVER GAVE YOU ANYTHING
AND NOW YOU’RE FREE TO HIDE ETERNALLY
REASON TO REASON
CORDON OF THE TIME
SORROW AND TREASON
YOU WILL NEVER LIVE TO SEE THE LIE
KALEIDOSCOPE ELOPE
YOU MARRY WHAT YOU FEAR
AND THEN YOU HEAR THE DOPE
IT RINGS AND SINGS
UPON THE DEATH OF WHAT YOU CALLED REALITY
YOU TRY TO BREATHE
INSIDE YOUR FANTASY
BUT YOU CAN’T POSSIBLY RETREAT THE REAL
TO LAUGH, TO CRY, TO FEEL
REASON TO REASON
CORDON OF THE TIME
SORROW AND TREASON
YOU WILL NEVER LIVE TO SEE THE LIE
(INTERLUDE)
REASON TO REASON
CORDON OF THE TIME
SORROW AND TREASON
YOU WILL NEVER LIVE TO SEE THE LIE
YOU WILL NEVER LIVE TO SEE THE LIE
