LP 1


1. WHEN WILL I BE LOVED

I've been made cheated, been mistreated
When will I be loved
I've been put down, I've been pushed


2. SILVER THREADS AND GOLDEN NEEDLES

I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room
All I want's the love you promised beneath the haloed moon
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheating game

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money cause I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money cause I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine


3. HOBO

I lit my purest candle close to my window
Hoping it would catch the eye
Of any vagabond that passed it by
And I waited in my lonely house

Before he came I felt him drawing near
And as he neared I felt the ancient fear
That he had come to my door and jeer
And I waited in my fleeting house

Tell me stories, I called to the hobo
Stories of old, I smiled to the hobo
Storie of cold, I wept to the hobo
As he stood before my fleeting house

No, said the hobo, no more tales of time
Don't ask me now to wash away the grime
I can't come in for it's too high a climb
And he walked away from my lonely house

Then you be damned I screamed to the hobo
Turn into stone I cried to the hobo
Leave me alone I knelt to the hobo
And he walked away from my fleeting house

I lit my purest candle close to my window
Hoping it would catch the eye
Of any vagabond who passed it by
And I waited in my fleeting house


4. FALL TO PIECES

I fall to pieces each time I see you again.
I fall to pieces
How can I be just your friend

You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget, pretend we've never met
And I've tried and I've tried but I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces

I fall to pieces each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces
Time only adds to the flame

You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me too
The way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces
Well you walk by and I fall to pieces


5. BIRDS

Lover, there will be another one
To 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

Nestle in your wings my little one
A 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


6. I CAN´T HELP IT

Today I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

Somebody else stood by your side
And she looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

A picture from the past came slowly stealing
As I brushed your arm and stood so close to you
Suddenly I got that old time feeling
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

It's hard to know another's lips have kissed you
And held you just the way I used to do
Heaven only knows how much I've missed you
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you


7. DIFFERENT DRUM

You and I travel to the beat of a different drum
Oh can't you tell by the way I run
Every time you make eyes at me
Wo-oh

You cry and moan and say it will work out
But honey child I've got my doubts
You can't see the forest for the trees

Oh don't get me wrong
It's not that I knock it
It's just that I am not in the market
For a boy who wants to love only me

Yes, and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm saying is I'm not ready
For any person place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me

So good-bye I'll be leaving
I see no sense in this crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me

Oh don't get me wrong
It's not that I knock it
It's just that I am not in the market
For a boy who wants to love only me

Yes, and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm saying is I'm not ready
For any person place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me

So good-bye I'll be leaving
I see no sense in this crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me


8. SOME OF SHELLEYS BLUES

Tell me just one more time the reasons why you must leave
Tell me once more why you're sure you don't need me
Tell me again but don't think that you'll convince me

You said, before falling in love again you'd rather be dead
When someone breaks your heart you cry your eyes red
There's nothing so hard about the life that you've led

As far as I can see there's no reason for goodbye
You're just running scared and that's something I won't buy

So you lose
I won't let you go with nothing to show but more blues
All this talk about leaving is strictly bad news
So you settle down and stay with the girl that loves you

As far as I can see there's no reason for goodbye
You're just running scared and that's something I won't buy

So you lose
I won't let you go with nothing to show but more blues
All this talk about leaving is strictly bad news
So you settle down and stay with the girl that loves you
You settle down and stay with the girl that loves you


9. I´LL BE YOUR BABY TONIGHT

Close your eyes close the door
You don't have to worry anymore
I'll be your baby tonight

Shut the light shut the shade
You don't have to be afraid
I'll be your baby tonight

Well that mockingbird is gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
Well that big fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon
But we're gonna let it
You won't regret it

Kick your shoes off do not fear
Bring that bottle over here
I'll be your baby tonight

Well that mockingbird is gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
Well that big fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon
But we're gonna let it
You won't regret it

Kick your shoes off do not fear
Bring that bottle over here
I'll be your baby tonight


10. LOUISE

Well they all said Louise was not half bad
It was written on the walls and window shades
And how she'd act a little girl
A deceiver, don't believe her, that's her trade
Sometimes a bottle of perfume
Flowers and maybe some lace
Men brought Louise ten cent trinkets
Their intentions were easily traced
Yes and everybody knew at times she cried
Ah but women like Louise well they get by

Yes and everybody thought it kinda sad
When they found Louise in her room
They'd always put her down below their kind
Still some cried when she died this afternoon

Louise rode home on the mail train
Somewhere to the south I heard her say
Too bad it ended so ugly
Too bad she had to go this way

Ah but the wind is blowing cold tonight
Well goodnight Louise goodnight


11. LONG, LONG TIME

Love will abide, take things in stride
Sounds like good advice but there's no one at my side
And time washes clean love's wounds unseen
That's what someone told me but I don't know what it means.

Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time

Caught in my fears
Blinking back the tears
I can't say you hurt me when you never let me near
And I never drew one response from you
All the while you fell all over girls you never knew
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think it's gonna hurt me for a long long time

Wait for the day
You'll go away
Knowing that you warned me of the price I'd have to pay
And life's full of flaws
Who knows the cause?
Living in the memory of a love that never was
Cause I've done everything I know to try and change your mind
and I think I'm gonna miss you for a long long time
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time.


LP 2


1. FAITHLESS LOVE

Faithless love like a river flows
Raindrops falling on a broken rose
Down in some valley where nobody goes
And the night blows in like the cold dark wind
Faithless love like a river flows

Faithless love where did I go wrong
Was it telling stories in a heartbreak song
Where nobody's right and nobody was wrong
Faithless love will find you
And the misery entwine you
Faithless love where did I go wrong

Well I guess I'm standing in the hall of broken dreams
That's the way it sometimes goes
Whenever a new love never turns out like it seems
It's the feeling comes and goes

Faithless love like a river flows
Like raindrops falling on a broken rose
Down in some valley where nobody goes
Faithless love has found me
Thrown its chilly arms around me
Faithless love like a river flows


2. ROCK ME ON THE WATER

Oh people look around you
The signs are everywhere
You left him for somebody other than you
To be the one to care

You're lost inside your houses
There's no time to find you now
Oh your walls are burning
And your towers are turning
I've gotta leave you here
And try to get down to the sea somehow

Rock me on the water
Sister won't you soothe my fevered brow
O-oh rock me on the water
Gotta get down to the sea somehow

The road is filled with homeless souls
Every woman child and man
Who have no idea where they will go
But they'll help you if they can

Now everyone must have some thought
That's gonna pull them through somehow
Well the fires are raging hotter and hotter
But the sisters of the sun
Are gonna rock me on the water now

Rock me on the water
Sister won't you soothe my fevered brow
O-oh rock me on the water
I gotta get down to the sea somehow

Oh people look among you
It's there your hope must lie
There's a seabird above you gliding in one place
Like Jesus in the sky
We all must do the best we can
And then hang onto that gospel cloud
When my life is over
Gonna stand for the father
But the sisters of the sun
Are gonna rock me on the water now

Rock me on the water
Sister won't you soothe my fevered brow
O-oh rock me on the water
Then maybe I'll remember
Maybe I'll remember how

Rock me on the water
The wind is with me now
O-oh rock me on the water
Gotta get down to the sea somehow
I gotta get down to the sea somehow


3. LOVESICK BLUES

I got a feeling called the blues oh Lord
Since my baby said goodbye
And Lord I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and cry oh Lord
That last long day he said goodbye
Oh Lord I thought I would die
He'll do you
He'll do me
He's got that kind of loving
Lord I love to hear him when he calls me sweet mama
Such a beautiful dream
I'd hate to think it's all over
I lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to him somehow
Well I'm nobody's sugar mama now
And I'm lonesome
I got the lovesick blues

Well I'm in love I'm in love and it's easy to say
That's what's the matter with me
I'm in love I'm in love and it's easy to say
That he don't care about me
Well I tried and I tried to keep him satisfied
But he just wouldn't stay
And now that he is leaving
Well this is all I can say

I got a feeling called the blues oh Lord
Since my baby said goodbye
And Lord I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and cry oh Lord
I've grown so used to him somehow
Well I'm nobody's sugar mama now
And I'm lonesome
I got the lovesick blues


4. RESCUE ME

Rescue me
I want you in my arms
Rescue me
I need your tender charms
Cause I'm lonely and I'm blue
I need you and your love too
Come on and rescue me
Come on baby and rescue me
Come on baby can't you see
That I need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely
Rescue me.

Come on and take my heart
Take your love and conquer every part
Cause I need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely

Rescue me
Come on and take my hand
Take my love I want you for my man
Cause I'm lonely and I'm blue
I need you and your love too
Come on and rescue me

Come on baby and rescue me
Come on baby can't you see
That I need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely

Love me baby
Hold me baby
Kiss me baby
Squeeze me baby
Oh baby help me baby
Oh baby Ah baby


5. JUST A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN

If I should leave you
Please try to remember the good times
Warm days filled with sunshine
And just a little bit of rain

And if you look back
Please try to forget all the bad times
The lonely blue and sad times
And just a little bit of rain
Just a little bit of rain

And if I look back
You know I'll remember the good times
Warm days filled with sunshine
And just a little bit of rain
Just a little bit of rain
Just a little bit of rain


6. THE LONG WAY AROUND

It's a cinch that I've been wrong
And it's clear it's not been long
Since I was hard on you
But now a time has come
When yesterday don't mean nothin'
Now I'm in love with you
And you've taken me the long way around

Take a look how young we are
A month has changed the moon and the stars
Changing the things we do
You've been lookin' for something strong
When other things don't mean nothin'
Now I'm in love with you
And you've taken me the long way around

Well I can't see beyond the doubt that's in your eye
It's on the outskirts of my fading alibi

It's a cinch that I've been wrong
And it's clear it's not been long
Since I was hard on you
But now a time has come
When yesterday don't mean nothin'
Now I'm in love with you
And you've taken me the long way around
Now I'm in love with you
And you've taken me the long way around


7. YOU´RE NO GOOD

Feelin' better, now that we're through
Feelin' better, cause I'm over you
I've learned my lesson, it left a scar
Now I see how you really are

You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good (I'm gonna say it again)
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good

I broke a heart, that's gentle and true
Yes, I broke a heart over someone like you
I'll beg his forgiveness on bended knee
I wouldn't blame him if he said to me
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good (I'm gonna say it again)
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good

I'm telling you now baby, that I'm goin' my way
Forget about me baby, 'cause I'm leaving this day
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good (I'm gonna say it again)
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good
Oh, oh, no
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good


8. RAMBLIN´ ROUND

Ramblin' round your city
Ramblin' round your town
But I never see a friend I know
As I go ramblin' round boys
As I go ramblin' round

The peach trees they are loaded
The branches are bending down
Well I pick 'em all day for a dollar, Lord
As I go ramblin' round boys
As I go ramblin' round

Sometimes the fruit gets rotten
Falls down on the ground
Well there's a hungry mouth for every peach
As I go ramblin' round boys
As I go ramblin' round

My father hoped that I would be
Someone of high renown
But I am just a refugee
As I go ramblin' round boys
As I go ramblin' round

Ramblin' round your city
Ramblin' round your town
Well I never see a friend I know
As I go ramblin' round boys
As I go ramblin' round


9. CRAZY ARMS

Now blue ain't the word for the way that I feel
And a storm is brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that's it real
You're someone else's love now, you're not mine

Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
But my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
That's why I'm lonely all the time

Please take these treasured dreams I had for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
Someday my crazy arms will hold somebody new
But right now I'm so lonesome I could die

Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
But my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
You're someone else's love now, you're not mine
Well you're someone else's love now, you're not mine


10. IT DOESN´T MATTER ANYMORE

There you go and baby here am I
Well you left me here so I could sit and cry
Golly gee what have you done to me
Well I guess it doesn't matter anymore

Do you remember baby last September
How you held me tight each and every night
Oh baby how you drove me crazy
But I guess it doesn't matter anymore

There's no use in me a-crying
I've done everything now I'm sick of trying
I've thrown away my nights
Wasted all my days over you

Now you go your way baby and I'll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time
I'll find somebody new and baby
We'll say we're through
And you won't matter anymore

There's no use in me a-crying
I've done everything now I'm sick of trying
I've thrown away my nights
Wasted all my days over you

Now you go your way baby and I'll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time
And I'll find somebody new and baby
We'll say we're through
And you won't matter anymore
No you won't matter anymore
You won't matter anymore


11. WILL YOU LOVE ME TOMORROW

Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Have I believed the magic of your sighs
Will you still love me tomorrow

Tonight with words unspoken
You said that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun

I'd like to know that your love
Is a love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow

So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
