I'll kiss the flower in your hair
I'll kiss your flower everywhere
I give my love but you don't care that I want you

Was it like heaven in your arms?
Or was it some place else that charmed?
My self-control is on my arm - I want you

Here comes the rain again - there goes another lonely day
If I could only whisper to you across the whole, I'll say

I've spent the hours in your caress
Your caress is still the best
Oh mother of God, I've made a mess - I love you

Here comes the rain again [etc repeated]

Girl, girl - all my world
Make me, take me if you would
Soak, shake, splash, and quake
Taste your flower - tastes so good

Here comes the rain again - there goes another lonely day
If I could only whisper to you across the whole, I'll say
Here comes the pain again, while you're so far away
I lie and wonder whether it's just too much to pay

My close attention took my seed
You satisfy my every need
Gonna let it grow for another year
I need you, I need you, I need you --

Girl, girl - all my world [etc repeated]

Do you remember when we met
That's the day I knew you were my pet
I wanna tell you how much I love you

Come with me, my love
To the sea, the sea of love
I wanna tell you just how much I love you

Come with me to the sea of love

Do you remember when we met
That's the day I knew you were my pet
I wanna tell you, oh, how much I love you

Come with me to the sea of love

Come with me, my love
To the sea, the sea of love
I wanna tell you just how much I love you
I wanna tell you, oh, how much I love you

Don't bring me fresh horses - let me ride the wild beat
Women in houses - I can't deal with their heat
If this is salvation, I'm not sure if it's theirs anymore

Reveal me treasures - my loan to ye own
I'm not quite sure
Maybe baby - just a little misinformed
It's funny honey - I can swear that I've seen it before
I don't know why, I don't know why

Ten men standing with their backs to the wall
Shrink from the knowledge - they throw gold in a hole
What's really sad, you know - they don't mind at all

Don't give me gestures - you don't know what they mean
Same old expressions - same familiar old themes
Your body's talking - I can swear that I've heard it all before

I don't know why you lied, I don't know why you lied
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why
She said
I don't know why you lied, I don't know why you lied
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why

You know when the deal goes down
It's time to leave and you're on your own
I will walk with you - in my very heart you'll find a home

She said: "Maybe you will"
I said: "Maybe I will, maybe I won't - with me, I won't"
She said: "Maybe you will"
I said: "Whatever you do is whatever you do"
Whatever you do is whatever you do
Whatever you do, whatever you do
And she said

Come let me ride - come let me ride the wild beast
Come let me ride - come let me ride the wild beast --

Big boat stealing through the darkness
Will you bring to me my love?
Will you bring to me my only love?
In night the light of oneness
And the one light guides you home
And the keeper turns his cards alone

From this shore my memory wandered
And I danced upon the sea
Can I dance with you upon the sea?
Oh, I love your brown-eyed madness
And your beauty was exposed
Now your memory's grained into my bones

Shining in my light - shining in the light
Shining in my light - shining in the light --

On waves of love my heart is breaking
And stranger still my self control I can't rely on anymore
New tides surprise - my world it's changing
Within this frame an ocean swells - behind this smile I know it well

Beneath a lover's moon I'm waiting
I am the pilot of the storm - adrift in pleasure I may drown
I built this ship - it is my making
And furthermore my self control I can't rely on anymore
I know why - I know why
Crazy on a ship of fools
Crazy on a ship of fools
Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground

Who claims that no man is an island
While I land up in jeopardy - more distant from you by degrees
I walk this shore in isolation
And at my feet eternity draws ever sweeter plans for me
I know why - I know why
Crazy on a ship of fools
Crazy on a ship of fools
Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground
Oh no, oh no - ship of fools --

I been a-workin' from seven, baby, to eleven ev'ry night
It really makes life a drag
I don't think that's right
I've really b-b-been b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-best of fools, ohhh ohhh
Yeah, but you know I did what I could, yeah-oh
Said oh, I love you, baby
Oh, I love you, baby
Oh, I love you
Little girl, ohhh
But baby, since I've been loving you, yeah
Im about to lose, oh, oh, my worried mind

Everybody is trying to tell me
Ooooooh ooooooooooh, that yoou didn't mean me no good, no
But I've tried, I've tried, I've tried, I've tried, ohhhhhhh
I've tried to do the best I could
I've been a-working, I've been a-working, ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, to eleven every night
You're such a drag, you're such a drag, you're such a drag, you're such a drag
You know, I don't, I don't, I don't think that's right
Baby, since I've been loving you now
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I'm gonna lose it, my worried mind, don't make me lose it

(Guitar Solo)

Ohhhh, baby
I've been crying, ohh ohh ohh
All my tears, they fell like rain, oh hoh hoh hoh
Oh, stop these tears from falling
Mama, stop these tears from fallin'

A-do you remember, mama, when I knocked upon your door
You had the nerve to tell me
You didn't want me no more
I open my door, hear my back door slam, yeah
I said, "Hey baby, I got a
New fangled back door man"

I've been working from seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, yeah
You're such a drag
Oh yeah, I know such a drag
Oh yeah, I know such a drag
You're such a drag
You're such a drag
You such a drag
You such a drag
Ahhhhhh
Baby, since I've been loving you
I'm about to lose, ah yeah, my worried mind

Oh, just one more
Just one more
Oh, yeah

Oooh, don't make me lose it
Please don't make me lose
My worried mind, yeah
Oooh-oooh-ohhh, yeah

Sundown - another busy day watching the time fly
Old ground standing in the way, and I don't know why
'Cause here I am making changes
Alterations in my house of cards
But I've a whole new arrangement
Am I at home, am I at home, am I?

Look down - almost with my baby as the time flies
I found I've lost an invitation - I don't know why
I'm so behind in my repayments
This whole beration must be overdue
But I'm at sixes with the statements
Am I at six, am I at six, am I?

Another twist of fortune - it wasn't in the plan
A new design for living - to do the best I can
To do the best I can - to do the best I can

Sometimes I nearly always do, but then I'm with you
Each time it comes as a surprise that they should do
Another drain on my resources
Information's getting out of hand
And I'm at home with all the courses
Am I at home, am I at home, am I, am I, am I?

Slow dancer - no answers
For you new moves to see
Fast talker in dark corners
For you new words to hear
Sly glances - half chances
For you the eye that sees

When the sun slips from the day and the coolness brings relief
There's no torment 'neath the stars in the stillness of the night
When the swirling has to cease behind the safety of the veil

In high places - darkened faces
So indifferent in days to be
Lost races - no losers
Only winners return to see
New order - can't be altered
When the eyes refuse to see

When the sun slips from the day [etc - repeated]

Soft spoken - never could be broken
Waiting the dawn light with me
Slow burning - school of learning
Don't hasten it down on me
Hearts leaping - hopes been reaching
To the heights, to the heights - these signs to see

Oh baby -- in the darkness, in the darkness --

Won't you fetch another white girl
To play with in the sand
The one I have right now is broke
The one I really had has planned
To get religion - to find another way
She's at the temple - all I've got to say

I've got to face it - I'm home alone
I feel quite naked - I'm so forlorn
I am united - in disarray
I've no intention - I go and pray

On other dream-boats I can sail away
Adrift in warm devotion - no memory - I feel no pain
I live for new beginnings
Ride the wind to win the day
Out on the ocean - I decide I'm here to stay
I can't get started - I'm at an end
She's got religion - I've lost a friend
I talk in circles - I make no sense
I get so nervous - no recompense

I have to face it - I'm home alone
I feel quite naked - I'm so forlorn
I am united - in disarray
I've no intention - I go pray

Bring me the brightest star that I can wish upon
I close my eyes so very tight, pretending you're not gone
So deep is my distraction, maybe I'll disappear
With stronger plans then - I'm not lonely when you're here
I can't get started - I'm at an end
She's got religion - I've got a friend
I talk in circles - I make no sense
I get so nervous - no recompense

I have to face it - I'm home alone
I feel quite naked - oh, so forlorn
I am united - in disarray
I've no intention - I go pray, hey hey

I can't get started - I'm at an end
She's got religion and I've lost a friend
I talk in circles - I make no sense
I get so nervous - no recompense

Go fetch another nice girl
Another nice girl
Another nice girl --

Down, down, down - always make the same mistakes, again
Down, down, always down - always make the same mistake
Talk is cheap, but you're talking fast
Never take the time to think of where it will end
Walk and talk and don't look back
I don't know which way it's gonna lead me baby
I try so hard but I can't understand - lead me baby
Just help me get my feet on the ground

Down, down, down - wanderin' through the places that we both used to go
Round, round always round - chase me and sedate me now but don't let me go
Restless sleep, locked in my lonely room
Empty arms are waiting for the morning to come
In the deep, where my dreams come true
Take care now - I'll keep you now, but lead me baby
I try so hard but I can't understand - lead me baby
Help me get my feet on the ground - help me baby

I can't stay down for too long now baby
I can't stay down for too long now my baby
If I'm crying, well it's 'cause I'm lonely
You know I'm only ever lonely without you
If I cry, well it's 'cause I'm lonely
'Cause I can be so lonely, I can be, I can be, I can be
