A one man band on a one night stand. As a one man band should be. The cried for more, he replied why sure. And he played one just for free. The sounds he laid down. the songs he played.
I want to hear it from you. I want to hear it from one who should knows how it is. All the second-hand words seem to get in my way. I want to hear it from you.
Oh the neon lights were flashin' and the icy wind did blow. The water seeped into his shoes and the drizzle turned to snow. His eyes were red, his hopes were dead and the wine was runnin' low.
With a lady like devotion. She sails the bitter ocean. If it wasn't for lovesick sailors. There'd be nothin' left but flotsam. . Singin' why, oh my, is there a better man than I?.
When I walk the hill so high. Around the town where I was born. New York seems so far away. Though I was there just yesterday. . I have played on my guitar.
Hey you, upon this ship of fools. I have found you bending your own rules. Thank you, I don't mind if I do. Dream a while of the lovin' that we knew. .
In this land of chance do we know right from wrong. Even at a glance we know the road is long. We don't owe a single thing to anyone. . Most of us do not believe in come what may.
I go in for singing, I do it for my pay. But the kind of gig I can really dig is swiggin' at the break of day. With a few good friends and neighbors into playin' the nighttime tunes.
I'm on my way, got no time to waste. Places to go, people to chase. Gonna grab my comb 'n' my toothpaste. Gotta get away from here. . Twenty-one years from the day I was born.
Go my way and I'll be good to you. Go my way and your dreams will all come true. In the sunset the wild waves are callin'. My shadow is followin' you.
All around old Cape Horn. Ships of the line, ships of the morn. Some who wish they'd never been born. They are the ghosts of Cape Horn. . Fal deral da riddle de rum.
You're as soft as the rose. You're as sweet as the honey. You're as warm as the bright morning sun. You're as cool as the breeze. On the last days of April.
Where did ya go when the snow lay on the ground. What did ya do when the rain began to fall. How did it feel when I looked through your soul. When was the last time you wanted my love.
I was at the break wall, I was lookin' at the sea. In back of the eight ball in some misery. There on the horizon stood a mighty ship of fools. They were headin' into the harbor with all their broken rules.
I ain't got nothin' to hide. My mind is an endless wire. I got both feet on the ground. I ain't got no one for hire. . I ain't got a thing to show. My lines have all expired.
I can always try to forget somehow. What's a part of the past. Have a little laughter if you please. . I won't even mind if it takes awhile. I've got time on my hands.
Put me somewhere east of midnight. West of the turnpike. Anywhere I wander. Is where I'll take my rest. . As I lie down, toss some thoughts around. Dreams I'm told will come true if you.
Listen up and I'll tell you what you'll do. Forget about music and alcohol too. Forget about your baby. We got other work for you. . Better drink yer glasses empty now.
I don't believe in miracles if it's all the same by you. Your wishes would come true if I had my say. Whether it's right or wrong, the words of every song.
You come to me in times of need. When you can't find anyone. You seem to be much better off now. There's a rainbow number one. . We could see life through the gutter then.
