Lyrics

of the two of us i know i've been the fool right from the start
every other day i fumble for the light switch to your heart
but lately i been thinkin
you're gettin mighty cold
and if it ain't the switch honey
well it just might be the bulb

oh won't you cut on the lights Mary Anna
won't you cut on that midnight sun
won't you cut on the lights Mary Anna
i can't wait for the mornin
the mornin to come

of the two of us i know you've got the looks and all the charm
every other day i'm humbled just to hold you in my arms
but lately i been thinkin
you might not give a damn
and i don't want to be somebody's every other day man

CHORUS

you been puttin me on like your makeup
this love in the dark well it's wrong
honey i'm fixin to wake up
'cause i like my lovin with the light on

CHORUS

i'm gonna give you the wheel
i'm gonna let you drive
but you gotta make me
some shoofly pie
you gotta make me a shoofly pie

dont forget the sweet molasses
'cause i won't leave a crumb
dont you just sit there laughin
when you know how bad i need some
you know how bad i need some of that

shoofly pie/ shoofly pie/ shoofly pie

you can make it for me in the morning
i like it if it's hot or cold
make it for me in the evening
baby when the sun is gold
i like it in the evening when the sun is gold

you can make it when the house note's late
if you give it to me right on time
i'll take it in the kitchen and the livin room, driveway
i dont mind if the house is on fire
dont care if the house is on fire
just gimme that

shoofly pie/ shoofly pie/ shoofly pie

i may be full of biscuits and wine
but i always have room for that
shoofly

i like it in the middle of the night
under the stars and the moon
i get so high on your everlovin pie
i like it from june to june
i like it from june to june

well i must be blessed cause i had the best
and i've seen the light comin through your dress
and all my friends they understand why
i would kick and cry and i wouldn't mind dyin
for just another piece of that heavenly beautiful

CHORUS

Please pay attention to me
was the last thing i heard 'fore i drifted to sleep
children to tend to
and a worryin' mind
too much to do
and not enough time
I hate to be needy selfish and greedy
please pay attention to me

Please pay attention to me
was last thing i heard comin out of my dream
I got something to tell you
when the sun has gone down
if you don't listen
I talk much too loud
I hate to be needy
selfish and greedy
please pay attention to me

won't you look my way
I'm waving my arms
and I'm calling your name
there's too much to mention
that grabs your attention
please pay attention to me

wish i could cut myself free
why should i care if you listen to me
children to tend to
and a worryin mind
too much to do
and not enough time

I hate to be needy selfish and greedy
I hate to keep asking and beggin and pleadin
I'm down on my knees under your window screaming
please pay attention to me
please pay attention to me
please pay attention to me

you give me chills
when you sing so sweet
you make me feel it
from my neck to my feet
you get me sky high
with chicken skin
this must be heaven
and i stumbled in

i see your voice
when i close my eyes
it's a light shinin
and it's shinin so bright
i'm in the shadow
of your snow white wings
this must be heaven
and i stumbled in

i stumbled in
i stumbled in
i just found heaven
with a touch of sin

i couldn't feel
any better
you could knock me down
with a feather
cut me in half
with a blade of grass
this must be heaven
and i hope it lasts

i stumbled in
i stumbled in
i dont mind the neon and the smoke
and your breath of gin
'cause i just found heaven
with a touch of sin

bet your heart was an ice cube last night
just chillin your whiskey blood
puttin your mind way out of sight
and that's okay
cause you got a smoke ring halo
just wont blow away

I heard today you had to go
well I guess we all get carried away
you're just a saint with a cigarette jones
and that's okay
you got a smoke ring halo
just wont blow away

you deserve better
that's all i know
i just hope they get it right
in that place where you're goin
you should be covered
in a circle of gold
won't you let some angel blow away
your smoke ring halo

we're all gonna miss you playin your horn
and showin us your busted heart
you blow so hard your lips are torn
and that's the way
you got a smoke ring halo
just won't blow away.

we all got things we can't help
you always had to take a bullet for a stranger
i heard today you took one for yourself
and that's okay
you got a smoke ring halo
you got a smoke ring halo
you got a smoke ring halo
you got a smoke ring halo
just wont blow away

when i was young i didn't look at the clouds and hope for the rain
when i was young i didn't think this life should ever bring me sorrow
when i was young i thought someday everybody's gonna know my name
when i was young the hardest work i had was waitin' for tomorrow

when i was young i used to wake up early in the mornin'
when i was young i could climb up a mountain no matter how tall
when i was young i didn't listen to anybody's warnin'
when i was young i could jump i wasn't afraid to fall

now i'm grown
and things are not exactly what they seem
the older i get
the less i know and the more i dream

when i was young i didn't worry 'bout money in my pocket
when i was young i didn't think i'd every need to buy a diamond ring
when i was young i used to put my heart in a cage and lock it
when i was young i could talk about love but i didn't know a thing

now i'm grown
and things are not exactly what they seem
the bigger i get
the smaller the world and the less it all means

when i was young i used to say my prayers without the feelin"
when i was young i didn't worry 'bout the things i couldn't understand
when i was young i didn't know anything about hurtin' and healin"
when i was young i guess i didn't believe i'd ever be a man

now i'm grown
and things are not exactly what they seem
i think about God
and wonder does he think about me

sometimes i go to the river
just to watch it flow
it ripples and it dances
i don't know where it goes

you brought me to the edge
but i held you to the ground
i thought i knew better
then to let you in the water

baby it's time to
take your hand and
leave behind what i know
maybe it's time to
follow you down to the river
and let go of the shore

once i thought i knew
how everything should be
i would damn up the river
blinded by what i wanted to see

CHORUS

i tried to change you
i didn't understand
but now all i want to do
is get down on my knees and thank you

CHORUS

Speakin' of lyin'
well I told a few
they say that's not what Jesus would do
I been tempted red white and blue
but you'll understand when your in my shoes
I was just findin my way

i don't believe
i don't believe i'd'a made it up the mountain
i don't believe
i don't believe i'd'a climbed so high
i don't believe
i don't believe i'd'a made it up the mountain
without the fire
burnin' under my behind

Speaking of bridges
well I burned a few
talk about cheatin' and bendin' some rules
it might not sound like what a man should do
but you'll understand when you're in my shoes
I was just finding my way

CHORUS

Speaking of fallin
and breakin in two
talkin' bout love and i had a few
but you keep on climbin to get to the truth
you gotta burn a few holes in those shoes
if you're gonna find your way

CHORUS

you come from nowhere
you show me everything i never see
you shine the light into the dark
of the things that i believe
you wake me up
give me hope
bring me piece when i'm asleep

you see rainbows when i see rain
isn't that strange
don't make me wait for the rain
don't make me wait for the rain

you called an end to all the lies
the secrets and the shame
you said its only up to me
to make a change and take the blame
i wanna know
how did you learn the rules
and rise above the game

CHORUS

i cant wait for the next rainy day
when you come wash my troubles away
i don't mind the pain
but i hate waiting

CHORUS

can't you hear your momma talkin'
she told you to hush your rattlin' tongue
sit down in your chair boy
eat your supper and leave your brother alone
i was once just like you
i was green and blue

my mother told my father one day
how much she had loved her life with him
then she rose up from her body
and vanished in the blue and green of spring
she was once just like me
now she's gone into the blue and green

blue and green
blue and green
you ain't lived 'til you seen the blue and green

you should've seen my grandmother
she was tough and strong as any man
but she was sweet and gentle when
she held you like the lover she used to have
he was gone
now so is she
but they live on in the blue and green

CHORUS

keep on growin' up so fast
and life'll hit you hard as you can take
tell me all your troubles boy
and i will try to take those troubles away
you were once just like me
we're all comin' from the blue and green

CHORUS

can't you hear your momma talkin'
she told you to hush your rattlin' tongue

ridin' a big jet plane
cryin' into your sleeve
'cause you miss those lovin' arms
lullaby keeps on playin'
and you're thinkin' it's a dream
'cause you miss those lovin' arms

and you got a good mind to pray
they say it's all part of his plan
but what if he's got slippery hands?

it's a sad face you're wearing'
like a burned out sun
'cause you miss those lovin' arms
you'd think a grown man would care
about his boot lace undone
but you just miss those lovin' arms
yeah you miss those lovin' arms

and you got a good mind to pray
they say it's all part of his plan
but what if he's got slippery hands?

goddamn
you're a boy not a man
when you miss those lovin' arms

some day
when you're up there flying'
and you miss those lovin' arms
it isn't so far away
that sweet lullaby
when you miss those lovin' arms

i know a man who sings the blues
yeah he plays just what he feels
keeps a letter in the pocket of his coat
but he never breaks the seal

set up in a bar room corner
playin' for tips and beer
people carryin' on and drinkin'
you gotta strain to hear

i've seen him playin' some old cheap guitar
but he could play on pots and pans
you never heard a soul so pure and true
it's flowing' right out of his hands
he can sing sweet as a choir girl
or he can sing a house on fire
i've seen him callin' up the angels
and use a breeze for a telephone wire

and if you ask him
how he sings his blues so well
he says
i got a soul that i won't sell
i got a soul that i won't sell
i got a soul that i won't sell
and i dont read postcards from hell

says he came from down in texas
playin' out since he's fifteen
you can hear a little chicago
and a lot of new orleans
he can take you on a freight train
he can take you down the alley
he can take you to the church
he can walk you through the valley

chorus

i've seen him sleepin' in a doorway
maybe livin' outside
on his back just like a cockroach
but he ain't waitin' to die

chorus

tell me did you catch the name
of the mighty hurricane
that blew away your feather brain
oh you better be tough

i remember when you spoke
down to the mighty lightnin' bolt
and took away his rain coat
you never can pray enough

you never can pray enough
you never can pray enough
if you're gonna be the fool
you better be tough
'cause you never can pray enough

i wonder why you messed a while
with the mighty crocodile
and said he had an ugly smile
oh you better be tough

and why'd you think it'd be so fun
shoot out the lights of the mighty sun
it's raining bullets and you better run
you never can pray enough

chorus

i saw the light bulb over your head
dim as it was you might as well be dead

you're getting' too close to admire
the dirty blaze of the mighty fire
you're gonna stink and burn just like a tire
you never can pray enough

chorus

you never smiled at my opening line
if i remember it right well you might have been cryin'
i didn't know you but i thought it was time

you didn't ask to know what i was thinkin'
i know it was late and i might have been drinkin'
when my passion welled up
and i readied my aim
i didn't know my own name

i was loaded, loaded
i have to say i was loaded

you shied away but i hunted you down
the truth is a bully and it'll slap you around
i know it can be
a pretty rough ride
when my true heart's kickin' my side

i was loaded, loaded
proud to say i was loaded
sometimes the tip of my tongue
is the barrel of a gun
and it's loaded

all alone on my knee with my dreams of the past
but my aim is still true and my draw is still fast
my heart pulls the trigger
it doesn't wait
who wants a heart that hesitates

i was loaded, loaded
proud to say i was loaded
sometimes the tip of my tongue
is the barrel of a gun
and it's loaded
yeah the tipe of my tongue
is the barrel of a gun
and it's loaded

walk away walk away walk away
i have seen the light of day and it doesn't look good to me
walk away walk away walk away
i am a stranger in the one place that i should stay
too tired to run
i think it's time to leave this place i used to call home

walk away walk away walk away
i have no such words to say what i want to say
i want to talk to you
but all i can do is walk away
my mind has slipped away again
and i can't pretend that i know what to do

bye bye
sunshine
the world has left me behind
so long
sweet song
i have lost my mind again

the sun is out and the sky is clear
but all i can do is sit in here and stare
i miss you baby but leave me be
nothin' you can do to set me free
i flew over some cuckoo's nest
and i think it's best that i just walk away

chorus

i may be weak but my love is strong
my heart is a stone and my head is all wrong
i don't know the way back home but if you let me roam
i'll find my way back to you
time used to make me wait
now time just makes me late

chorus

I've been waiting much too long
for you to break my heart my dear
and i know that the end is near

when i look into your eyes
i see that i'm not there anymore
and you're staring so far away

don't look back i won't be there
all i can do is follow your stare

i've been searching much too long
now there's nowhere to go from here
and i can feel you everywhere

when i put your hand in mine
i feel you slipping away from me
and there's nothing that can hold you now

don't look back i won't be there
all i can do is follow your stare
i don't know where you're going
but i will see you when the angels sing to me

i know what it means to be twisted
i've been stuck in a carnival mirror
one time my head was so low you could have kissed it
without standin' on your toes my dear

i know what it means to be senseless
laid my bed across the tracks without fear
well it's funny how a boy can be so reckless
leave his life a broken toy my dear

why do i dream
of holdin' you down
under the waves
'til your last breath fades
why do i dream
of holdin' you down
who knows
'cause i'm missin' you so

i know what it means to be lonesome
but i never thought you'd go and disappear
well i know i'm past the point of young and wholesome
but i was born the day i met you my dear

chorus

i know what it means to be shameful
i have begged for a kick in the rear
well it's funny how a dream can be so painful
won't you tell me what it means my dear

chorus

i have been too close
to that flame of desire
i have spoken too soon
with words full of fire, full of fire
i have fallen too fast
from the top of love's tree
bruised by every branch
never landed on my feet, on my feet
like a fool i am willin'
to take that fall again

don't let me fall too fast
i want to fall slowly
i want my fall to last
i want my fall to last

i have drunk too much
from that fountain of tears
i have drowned many times
i was warned but didn't hear, didn't hear
i have smoked too much
from a pipe made of bones
i was high for a while
then i tumbled like a stone, like a stone
like a food i am willin'
to take that fall again

chorus

now i'm fyin' too high
with these wings made of wax
and i'm bound for the flames
but i won't turn back, won't turn back

chorus

BOB DYLAN

Traditional, arranged by Oliver Wood, Chris Wood

thought it was over
thought you were gone
as i walked through the dark house
wishin' your lamp was still on
i lit a candle
was a pretty red glow
i should have known
you were still close

thought i was lonesome
i wished it would pass
as i dreamed i could find you somewhere
in my looking glass
i saw a bird flyin'
was a ruby red throat
i should have known
you were still close

still close
covered in rose petals
from your head to your feet
still close to me

thought you were the tree
that would never fall down
as i swept up your ashes
and put you back into the ground
i saw a flower
was a wild red rose
that's when i know
you were still close

still close
covered in rose petals
from your head to your feet
still close to me

I’ve seen you in a sadness
I’ve seen you when you’d hoped to die
I heard you say
it’s rainin’ all over the world

what did I tell you
what did I say
just when your faith is gone
give it one more day

I’ve seen you with your head low
face down on the ground
I heard you say
you’re lost and you couldn’t be found

what did I tell you
what did I say
just when your faith is gone
give it one more day

next thing you’re shinin’ right back at the sun
blowin’ right back at the wind
roarin’ right back at the ocean
nothin’s gonna do you in

give it one more day
one more day
just when your faith is gone
give it one more day

I’ve seen you when your soul shines
I’ve seen you when your heart sings
I heard you say
the world don’t owe you a thing

yeah, what did you tell me
what did you say
just when you’re faith is gone
give it one more day

I been thinkin’ ‘bout dropping out
and lettin’ this old river
spit me into the sea.
do you remember when I sold you my soul
now that it’s getting kinda old
won’t you sell it back to me

CHORUS:
I’ve been tried and tempted
tried and tempted
tried and tempted
tried and tempted

well I been thinkin’ ‘bout turnin’ ‘round
and headin’ up the stream
to climb a mountain of youth
do you remember when I opened up your box
and let the demons out
they fight me nail and tooth

CHORUS:
I’ve been tried and tempted
tried and tempted
tried and tempted and it’s hard to be strong
when you’re tried and tempted too long

I’d like to be the wind
don’t wanna be the sail
I’d like to be the train
not the rail
I’d like to be the train
not the rail

CHORUS

my whole Saturday
and Sunday too
I was thinking ‘bout
ways not to lose
lay down my weapons
is what I’ve done
too late to hide
feet too soft to run

but people say I’m the luckiest man
yeah they say

CHORUS:
runnin’ is useless
fightin’ is foolish
you’re not gonna win
but still you’re the luckiest man
you’re up against
too many horses
and mysterious forces
what you don’t know is
you are the luckiest man
you’re the luckiest man

I don’t talk to the Devil
when he calls my name
but sometimes when I’m losin’
it all seems the same
and when I fall
I’m back up again
just to slip on the same mistakes
and slide right back in

but people say I’m the luckiest man
yeah they say

CHORUS

try to keep my faith
and keep my mind
I’d hate to lose either one
when the whip cracks behind
and I can’t but help mournin’
just a little each night
people say everything’s
gonna be alright

they say I’m the luckiest man
yeah they say

CHORUS

lead shoes
is what I use
when I’m runnin’
away from you
a golden rose
it always knows
it’s good to see you
but I’ll be glad to see you go

I have missed you
is what I say
when I’m wishin’
you’d stay away
a cold wind
starts to blow
it’s good to see you
but I’ll be glad to see you go
good to see you
but I’ll be glad to see you go

I’m glad to see you go
I’m tryin’ to be a mountain
but it’s not easy.

run and hide
is what I do
when I’m tryin’
to start anew
a knock on my door
scares me so
it’s good to see you
but I’ll be glad to see you go
good to see you
but I’ll be glad to see you go

I’m glad to see you go
I’m tryin’ to be a mountain
but it’s not easy

sittin’ on the front porch
ice cream in my hand
meltin’ in the sun
all that chocolate on my tongue
and that’s
good enough reason to live
good enough reason to live

sittin’ in the bath tub
high-fi playin’ low
diggin’ old Al Green
well you must know what I mean
and that’s
good enough reason to live
good enough reason to live

CHORUS:
if I die young
at least I got some chocolate on my tongue
if I die young
at least I got some chocolate on my tongue

sittin’ in the front seat
good girl in my arms
smilin’ in my eyes
getting’ me all hypnotized
and that’s
good enough reason to live
good enough reason to live

CHORUS

halleluiah
well I just woke up from a dream
so far away
and it’s no accident I landed here
eyes wide open and seein’ clear
I have come a long long way

I am wiser now
my man Atlas told me
I shouldn’t try to hold his world up
he said boy you got some muscles
you have never used
all you got to do is go ahead and wake up

CHORUS:
don’t you try to hold my world up
don’t you try to hold my world
don’t you try to hold my world up
don’t you try to hold my world

Aphrodite
well her suitcase was my burden
for so long
she said boy you got some heart and soul
but that’s not what your love is for
lay your burden down and we’ll both be stronger

CHORUS

one mocking bird
fills up the sky
had to remind me
how time used to fly
this night is so long
did I use to care
you should have heard me
sayin’ my prayer

CHORUS:
we always wanted
time to stand still
now that you’re gone
I’m sure that he will

this big moon above me
sure as the sun
I never thought
you’d have to run
lonesome I did not
think I could be
but always new that he was
no friend to me

CHORUS

CHORUS:
the truth is the light
the truth is the light
it hurts sometimes
but that sayin’s still right
the truth is the light

love is a flame
love is a flame
it can warm you up
or burn you down again
love is a flame
you might have to cry
you might have to cry
but better some tears
than some smoke in your eyes
you might have to cry

don’t you know
I heard the whole damn thing
it’s a sad song
you can’t un-sing
but that’s alright
‘cause all of a sudden
I could feel my wings
with your lips unbuttoned
you know your gonna set me free

CHORUS

some people might
steal and cheat me
they can fuss and fight me
but don’t deceive me
and it’ll be alright
tell me the worst
and I can get my peace
no matter how bad
you know it’s gonna set me free

CHORUS

my bird’s gonna sing
my bird’s gonna sing
I don’t care if you cut his wings
my bird’s gonna sing

CHORUS

I had to step into the jungle
just to get my solitude
I need some juju
and I don’t know what to do
I’m tired of seein’ clouds
when all I need’s a drop of rain
I got my cuts and bruises
now I’d like to feel the pain

CHORUS:
if the spirit moves you
if the spirit moves you
if the spirit moves you
please won’t you send him
please won’t you send him to me

well how do you do that magic
what’s the secret what’s the spell
I tried to work it
but I just can’t do it well
I know I’m lucky to be in the jungle
doin’ what I please
I got the birds I got the buds
I should just get down on my knees
but please

CHORUS

I was just killin’ time
waitin’ on a train
out back pitchin’ pennies
tryin’ to stay out of the rain
caught a southbound freight
down to Memphis Tennessee
that’s where my baby might be

well I hit the ground runnin’
on the outskirts of town
walked down by the river
just to take a look around
met up with a stranger
he seemed to recognize me
that’s where my baby might be

silhouette in the distance
like I seen before
I walked down the street
and up to the door
if you drag that river
all the way to the sea
that’s where my baby might be

you pushed my button
and started me knowing
things I already knew
how did you understand
with the palm of your hand

I guess that’s what angels can do
angels can do

you held my burden
and rested my bones
in your arms sweet and true
how did you stay so strong
and kiss me so long

I guess that’s want angels can do
I guess that’s what angels can do
angels can do
that’s what angels can do

you pulled my trigger
the song that rang out
was so pretty and blue
how did you get so wise
with one look in my eyes

I guess that’s what angels can do
I guess that’s what angels can do
I guess that’s what angels can do
angels can do
that’s what angels can do
