And if you feel that you can't go on,
And your will's sinking low,
Just believe and you can't go wrong,
In the light you will find the road.

Hey, did you ever believe,
That I could leave you,
Standing out in the cold?
Hey baby I know how it feels,
Because I have slipped through,
To the very depths of my soul.
Oh baby I just want to show you,
What I'd give you,
In case you ever been on the road.
Now listen as I was and would do for you too,
Honey, as you would do for me.
I would share your load.
Let me share your load.

And if you feel that you can't go on,
In the light you will find the road.

Hey, the winds of change my blow around you,
And that will always be so.
Oh, when love is pain it can devour you,
If you are never alone.
I'll share your load.
I will share your load.
Baby let me,
Oh, let me.
In the light.
Everybody needs the light.

Down by the seaside,
See the boats go sailing.
Can the people hear,
What the little fish are saying.

People turned away.
People turned away.

Down in the city streets,
See all the folk go racing.
No time left,
To pass the time of day.

People turned away.
People turned away.
So far away, so far away.

Do you still do the twist,
Do you find you remember things that well.
Some folks twistin' every day,
Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell.

Out in the country,
Hear the people singing.
Singing about their progress,
Knowing where they're going.

People turned away.
People turned away.

Sing loud for the sunshine,
Pray hard for the rain.
And show your love for lady nature,
And she will come back again.

People turned away.
People turned away.
Now they know where they're going.

Then as it was,
Then again it will be.
Though the course may change sometimes,
Rivers always reach the sea.

Like stars of fortune,
Each has separate rays.
On the wings of maybe,
Down in birds of prey.
Kind of makes me feel sometimes,
I didn't have to grow.
But as the eagle leaves the nest,
He got so far to go.

Changes fill my time,
Baby that's all right with me.
In the midst I think of you,
And how it used to be.

Did you ever really need somebody?
And really need them bad.
Did you ever really want somebody?
The best love you ever had.
Do you ever remember me baby?
Did it feel so good.
Because it was just the first time,
And you knew you would.

Turn the eyes and I sparkle,
Senses growing keen.
Tasting love along the way,
See your feathers preen.
Kind of make you feel sometimes,
Didn't have to go.
We are eagles of one nest,
The nest is in our souls.

Vixen in my dreams,
With great surprise to me.
Never thought I'd see your face,
The way it used to be.
Oh darling, oh darling.

I'm never gonna leave you.
Ten years gone, holding on, ten years gone.

I received a message from my brother across the water,
He sat laughing as he wrote "the end's in sight."
So I said goodbye to all my friends,
And packed my hopes inside a matchbox,
Because I know it's time to fly.

Oh yeah come on meet me in the morning,
Meet me in the middle of the night.
Oh yeah the morning light is coming,
Don't it make you wanna feel all right.

I just jumped a train that never stops,
So now so how'll they know I never,
Finished paying for my ride.
Just now someone pushed a gun into my hand,
Tell me I'm the type of man,
To fight the fight that I'll require.

Oh yeah come on meet me in the morning,
Meet me in the middle of the night.
Oh yeah the morning light is coming,
Don't it make you wanna feel all right.

Oh mama well I think it's time I'm leaving,
Nothing here to make me stay.
Oh mama well it must be time I'm going,
They're knocking down them doors,
And trying to take me away.

Please Mr. Brakeman won't you ring your bell,
And ring it loud and clear.
Please Mr. Fireman won't you ring your bell,
Tell the people they got to fly away from here.

I once saw a picture of a lady with a baby,
Southern lady had a very very special smile.
We are in the middle of a change in destination,
When the train starts all together we will smile.

Oh yeah come on meet me in the morning,
Meet me in the middle of the night.
Everybody know the morning time is coming,
Don't it make you wanna feel all right.

Silent woman in the night you came,
Took my seed from my shaking frame.
Same old fire another flame,
And the wheel rolls on.

Silent woman through the flames you come,
From the deep behind the sun.
Seems my nightmares have now begun,
Left me barely holding on.

With blazing eyes you see my trembling hand,
When we know the time has come.
Lose my senses, lose command,
Feel your healing rivers run.

Is it every time I fall,
That I think this is the one?
In the darkness can you hear me call?
Another day has just begun.

Silent woman my face is changed,
Some know in ways to come.
Feel my fire needs a brand new flame,
And the wheel rolls on.

Been in town my baby,
We just got to run home.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah darling,
We just got to go home.
I don't want no tutti-frutti, no lollipop,
Come on baby just rock, rock, rock.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah honey,
We been shaking all night.
Oh, darling we just got to run right,
Aah, my head, rock on.
Rock On.

Hey babe, hey babe.
Hey babe, hey babe.
Hey babe, hey babe.
Hey babe, hey babe.
I don't want no tutti-frutti, no lollipop,
Come on, baby, just rock, rock, rock.

I don't want no tutti-frutti, no lollipop,
Come on, baby, just rock, rock, yeah.

Hey hey mama, what's the matter here.
Hey hey mama, what's the matter here.
You didn't have to tell me that you love me so,
Didn't have to love me mama let me go.
Hey hey mama, what's the matter here.
You didn't have to make me a total disgrace,
Didn't have to leave me with that beer in my face.
Hey hey mama, what's the matter here.
Oh that's all right, it's awful doggone clear.

Hey hey baby, why you treat me mean.
Oh oh baby, why you treat me mean.
You didn't have to crucify me like you did,
You didn't have to tell me I was just your kid.
Hey hey mama, why'd you treat me mean.
You didn't have to say you'd always be by my side,
Didn't have to tell me you'd be my blushing bride.
Hey hey mama, why you treat me mean.
But that's all right, I know your sister too.

You didn't have to tell me that you love me so,
You didn't have to leave me mama, let me go.
Hey hey mama, what is wrong with you.
You didn't have to leave me like a total disgrace,
You didn't have to leave me with that beer on my face.
Hey hey mama, what is wrong with you.
Oh but that's all right, I'd be the same way too, oh yeah.

Now my baby you didn't have to crucify me like you did,
You didn't have to tell me I was just your kid.
Hey hey mama, what's the matter here.
You didn't have to tell me you would be my own,
You didn't have to tell me baby, let me go.
Hey hey mama, what is wrong with you.
Oh that's all right, I know your sister too.
What's the matter with you mama.

On the window of your ready little scene,
I'm looking in your eyes.
One day soon you're gonna reach sixteen,
Ain't a lady in the city of lights.

Do you know my name?
Do I look the same?
You know I'm the one you want,
I must be the one you need.

Reflections baby from your teenage dream,
In the lobby of a hotel cafe dive.
Through the circus of the L. A. queens,
I passed you round went right on by.

How you play the game,
Still don't know your name.
You know I'm the one you want,
Yes I'd love to be the one you need.

Lips like cherries on the frown of a queen,
Come on flash it right in my eyes.
Said you dug me since you were thirteen,
Then you giggle as you hurt inside.

Do you know my name?
Do I look the same?
I got to tell you I'm the one you want,
And everybody knows I'm the one you need.

Hours hours and the moments in between,
Oh baby I could count the times.
I've thought of coming on a plane and leaving,
Baby dry those silver eyes.

Do you know my name?
Do I look the same?
You know I'm the one you want,
I'm the one you need.
