1. 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


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. 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


4. 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


5. STONEY END

I was born from love
And my poor mother worked the mines
I was raised on the good book Jesus
Till I read between the lines
Now I don't believe I wanna see the morning

Going to the stoney end
I never wanted to go to the stoney end
Mama let me start all over
Cradle me, mama cradle me again

I can still remember him
With lovelight in his eyes
But the lights flickered out and parted
As the sun began to rise
Now I don't believe I wanna see the morning

Going to the stoney end
I never wanted to go to the stoney end
Mama let me start all over
Cradle me, mama cradle me again

Never mind the forecast
For the sky has lost control
And the fury of a broken thunder's come
To match my ragin' soul
No, I don't believe I wanna see the morning

Going to the stoney end
I never wanted to go to the stoney end
Mama let me start all over
Cradle me, mama cradle me again


6. 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.


7. UP TO MY NECK IN HIGH MUDDY WATER

Yes and now I'll swim ashore for I must make it
Although I'm up to my neck in high muddy water
Now the water's deep and wide
Can't hold out long this way
If I could spend a time
Perhaps I'd find a way

So now I'll swim ashore for I must make it
Although I'm up to my neck in high muddy water

Now I see the distance stir and I hear reckless sound
And something seems to say well I'm bound for higher ground

So now I'll swim ashore for I must make it
Although I'm up to my neck in high muddy water

Now the sun has risen late
But I'm safe at last my friend
Deep water was my pain
But now I've reached the end

Yes now I'll swim ashore and I know I'll make it
Although I'm up to my neck in high muddy water


8. SOME OF SHELLY'S 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. IN MY REPLY

Now Matthew was a country boy until one day he found
That cheatin' folks was easier than plowin' his daddy's ground
He left his home back in Ohio, bound for Chicago's town
He crossed Big Jim and turned his back
A bullet cut him down

And as he lay there dying
He said "Will I see my Ohio?"
In my reply I lied a bit
And said I did not know

Now Jim McCall he was meek and small
And to become a man
He'd have to build himself up tall
With fancy folks and land
He threw some stones at honest friends
And he got himself these things
His children left him and he sneered
"That's what my kindness brings"

And on the south side he got lost
He asked me where to go
In my reply I lied a bit
And said I did not know

Yes Miss Lazy Susan called me up
She heard I stole the show
In my reply I lied a bit
And said I did not know
In my reply I lied a bit and said I did not know


10. 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
