The summer air was soft and warm
The feeling right, the paris night
Did it’s best to please us
And strolling down the elysйe
We had a drink in each cafй
And you
You talked of politics, philos...
They passed me by, all of those great romances
You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances
My picture clear, everything seemed so easy
And so I dealt you the blow
One of us had to go

No smiles, not a single word at the breakfast table
Though I would have liked to begin
So much that I wanna say, but I feel unable
You leave and you slam the door
Like you’ve done many times be...
On top of old smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
By courting so slow
For courting’s a pleasure
And parting is grief
And a false-hearted lover
Is worse than a thief
On top o...
Every day in the morning on her way to the office
You can see as she catches a train
Just a face among a million faces
Just another woman with no name
Not the girl you'd remember but she's stil...
Tried to sneak out without saying
With my loudest record playing
Ooh, my mama said, ’look at this, you haven’t done your bed’
My mama said, ’that’s a thing that you should do instead’
Then I ...
I've seen it on your face
Tells me more than any worn-out old phrase
So now we'll go separate ways
Never again we two
Never again, nothing I can do
Like an image passing by, my love, my life

"they say a restless body can hide a peaceful soul.
A voyager, and a settler, they both have a distant goal.
If I explore the heavens, or if I search inside.
Well, it really doesn’t matter as lo...
Well, you wake up in the morning
Hear the ding-dong ring
You go marching to the table
See the same old thing
See the fork on the table
Nothing in your pan
If you sing a thing about it
You’re...
I have tried in vain never had success
So, it seems my life is nothing but a mess
I have lost my only friend
Now it seems I have to start again

Merry-go-round
Where am I bound

Gonna jump down, spin around, pick a bale of cotton
Gonna jump down, spin around, pick a bale a day
Gonna jump down, spin around, pick a bale of cotton

Sometimes when I’m mad
There’s a part of me that seems to be a little sad
Sometimes when I scream
There’s a voice in me that says, ’you shouldn’t be so mean’
Oh no, oh no
Part of me is acting ...
Did you see that man in the limousine
With a pretty blond, he is fifty and the girl’s only seventeen
But she doesn’t care, and she never will
If he’s ninety-five she don’t give a damn
Just as l...
Sit down and listen ’cause I’ve got good news for you
It was in the papers today
Some physician had made a discovery
This’ what she had to say:
(oooh you know that)
She said that every resul...
I've always hated my room, it's so gloomy and dreary
Always the dark, for the windows just face the back yard
So I can't understand how it's happened, how everything's changing
This old dirty ce...
Long awaited darkness falls
Casting shadows on the walls
In the twilight hour I am alone
Sitting near the fireplace, dying embers warm my face
In this peaceful solitude
All the outside world s...

Casting shadows on the walls
In the twilight hour I am alone
Sitting near the fireplace, dying embers warm my face
In this peaceful solitude

Lay your head on my chest so you hear every beat of my heart
Now there’s nothing at all that can keep us apart
Touch my lips, close your eyes and see with your fingertips
Things that you do, and...
Well I was looking at a movie on the tv last night
Then I had a very funny notion, yeah
I really had to write a song about it
Then I’m gonna sing it in my rock’n roll band
And I bet that people...
Until that day
My life had been a river
Following the same, pre-destinated course,
Suddenly detouring so unexpectedly
With uncompromising force.
My strongholds broke down all too easily;
