No talk of love between us - some things better left unsaid
Talk of the plans through my head, through my head
No talk of tears and pain
It's been so long I really don't know your name
It's the rules of the game
Wheels keep turning round and round
Years keep spinning round and round
No words assuring - without a trace like the shadows in the sun
No room for fools who rush in - it's all been done
You've got new friends in new pools
And you know they're putting troubles to the vote
Tired eyes, slow dance in the sunlight - it's all a joke
Wheels keep spinning round and round
Years keep spinning round and round
With the passing of your time
Though you seldom come to mind
I remember the day
Sure as winter follows fall
Sure as maybe I will call
Just remember the day
Far off the hazy day - long gone the lingered glance
Chill winds blow cold around the fire of love
Farewell the call to arms - release the captive heart
Time's keeper clouds the skyline of the last resort
Wheels keep spinning round and round
Years keep spinning round and round
With the passing of your time [etc repeated]
Oompah (Watery Bint)Lover's ties, so cold in the night
The times will rise, in my, here in my fright
Oh, careless love, what should I do?
There's something wrong, something wrong with you
Had a mood in my arms, and then
Turned around and walked right out again
Oh, crazy love, what can I do?
There's something wrong, there's something wrong with you
Oh, shouldn't do that to me
Oh, put me in jeopardy, me in double jeopardy
Oh, shouldn't do that to me
Maybe you should, maybe
Through the mist, watch those shadows creep
All those visions slide up from the deep
O foolish heart, what can I do
There's something wrong, there's something wrong with you
Oh, shouldn't do that to me, no
Oh, I'm in jeopardy, you put me in jeopardy
Oh, shouldn't do that to me
Maybe you should, maybe
In my ways, I lose control
My naked heart, yeah, with a hand to hold
O porous love, what can we do?
We're trapped forever in this cellule
Oh, shouldn't do that to me, well
Now, foolin' with my jeopardy, you're foolin' with my jeopardy
Oh, shouldn't do that to me now
Maybe, maybe, oh, to have a jazz
Dark MoonI love the feel of his money
One time I loved the feel of him, she yawned
It was not until he was crucified
That the benefit sunk in
Oh, for restoration I may baulk and churl
I have my standards to maintain
The very fact I'm here at all is quite absurd
The aggravation leaves a stain
Oh, I love the feel of his money, she yawned
One time I loved the feel of him
It was not until he was crucified
That the benefit sunk in
I love the feel of his money, she yawned
One time I loved the feel of him
It was not until he was crucified
That the benefit sunk in
Oh, it's a dark moon
Oh, it's a dark moon
For restoration I may baulk and churl
I have my standards to maintain
The angle I come from is quite absurd
The aggravation leaves a stain
In this dark moon - in this dark moon
If I had the position that I thought that I should
I'll never cease to amaze
From the angle that she stands and stood
See on her face a smile so afraid
In this dark moon - oh, this dark moon
In this dark moon - under this dark moon
Oh, this dark moon
[scat singing]
I want your soul - I want your soul
I want your soul - I want your soul
I want your soul - I want your soul
I want your soul for myself
21 Years21 times I sat and cried
21 times I slowly died
21 times I wondered how
Want my baby - she's gone somehow
Down the road I go - down so far
Down the road I go - I go so far alone
21 times I sat and cried
21 times I slowly died
21 dreams I saw subside
Down that road and don't go cryin' - no
My girl's gone, down the road
Said she would leave me never alone
I'm all gone - where's that leading me?
Oh, another got my woman - the lonesome blues got me
Here I stand now - my head in my hand
Found my woman - she's got another man
See my baby - she go
She gone some place but I don't know where
21 days I sat and cried
21 times I slowly died
21 dreams - I do
21 times I cried for you
My girl, she run down the road
She's left me now - I'm all alone
Worried blues, give me your right hand
Worried blues, please understand
It's 21 times that she made me cry
It's 21 years that I kissed goodbye
It's 21 times that she told me lies
21 dreams - oh, her eyes
Looked down the road as far as I could see
Man got my woman, but the blues got me
Oh, this ain't no living - no game alone
Everything I done - said it was wrong
But it's 21 times I sat and cried
It's 21 dreams - yes I cried
21 years that the little girl left
21 times - I cried - see the poor girl lied
Naked If I Want ToWould you let me walk down your street
Naked if I want to
Can I pop fireworks on the fourth of July
Can I buy an amplifier, oh, on time
Well, I ain't got no money now
But I will pay you before I die
8:058:05
I guess you're leaving soon
I can't go on without you
It's useless to try
To love you was so good
To keep you would be so wonderful
Here is my heart that I give
It's all that I have
Please change your mind
Before my sunshine is gone
Do you think you could try?
Do you think you could try?
Do you think you could try?
Understand how I feel
And I will prove that it's real
Don't fill my world with rain
You know your tears would only bring pain
In my heart
8:05
I guess you're leaving - good-bye
Hey JayneOh, I don't know why
There's nothing wrong but I can't think straight
A touch of trouble in my burner
There don't seem anything that I can't do
So I called a doctor
A touch of fever - I hallucinate
So man, do anything you want me to
'Cause I don't know just exactly what to do
Hey Jayne, what you're doin' to me
Hey Jayne, what you're doin' to me
Hey Jayne, what you're doin' to me
'Cause I don't know just exactly what you do
Hey Jayne, what you're doin' to me
Hey Jayne, you drive me crazy baby
Hey Jayne, what you're doin' to me
Like a dream right in front of me
Everywhere I'm going
You're everything I wanted you to be
I want to share your goal
Oh, simple simple sunrise
You make the sun rise in my heart
I still don't know why
Ah, why you tear me apart, why you tear me apart
Hey Jayne, what you're doin' to me
Hey Jayne, you drive me crazy baby
Hey Jayne, ah-oh
'Cause I don't know just exactly what you do
Hey Jayne, what you're doin' to me
Hey Jayne, what you're doin' to me
Hey Jayne, what you're doin' to me
What you do, what you do, what you do
Now the humming birds come - now fireflies call
Now the rain keeps falling - listen to the raindrops fall
Hey Jayne, what do you want me to do?
Hey Jayne, what you're doin' to me
Hey Jayne, drive me crazy, crazy
Hey Jayne, ah-oh
I don't know just exactly what you do
Hey Jayne, what you're doin' to me
Hey Jayne, what you're doin' to me
Hey Jayne, what you're doin' to me
What you're doin' to me, what you're doin' to me
Now the humming birds come - now fireflies call
Now the rain keeps falling - just listen to the raindrops fall
Call a doctor - touch of fever
Call a doctor - touch of fever
C'mon baby, when you touch me
Hey Jayne, I'm nervous when you call like this
Hey Jayne, what you're doin' to me
Hey Jayne, what you're doin' to me
Hey Jayne, what you're doin' to me
What you do, what you do, what you're doin' to me
Call a doctor - touch of fever, touch of fever
Just don't know what to do
Hey Jayne
One LoveOne for love - I can't resist
Two for your pretty brown eyes - crazy like this
Three for the stars around my head

Six for the glory from up above

Running till the end of time, oh yeah

I'll light a candle and I'll pray
The Lord will bless you
I hope that someday He will understand

The less folk know, the more they have to say
DimplesYou got dimples in your jaw
You got dimples in your jaw
You got dimples in your jaw
You're my baby - got my eyes on you
I love the way you strut
I'm crazy 'bout your strut
I love the things you got
You're my baby - got my eyes on you
I got my eyes on you
I'm crazy 'bout this thing
I love your thing

You're my baby - got my eyes on you
I even love the things you do
I'm crazy 'bout you too
I love the things you do
You're my baby - got my eyes on you
I got my eyes on you
Come to me - come to me --
One night I was laying down
I hear my mama and papa talking
I hear them say
Lord, we got to let that boy boogie woogie
For the end has got to come
And I felt so good - I felt so good
I knew I would boogie just the same, oh Lord
Have mercy, oh Lord
Mama told papa - gonna leave that boy alone
Way down inside - on and on - oh yes it does
Oh my darling, I just love - I just love
I'm just crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, girl
And my baby turned around
And she said - she said --
I'm crazy 'bout your thing
I'm crazy 'bout your thing
I'm crazy 'bout the thing
You're my baby - got my eyes on you
You got dimples in your jaw
You got dimples in your jaw
You got dimples in your jaw
You're my baby - got my eyes on you
The WindowWatching through the window
Oh, staring at the rain
Watching all the time go
Relive all my pain
[scat singing]
So many in the sky, the red sky - rain all aglow
I've learned my lesson hard - oh, no
Here I am, ho-ho - the tears falling down
Hey-hey, ho-ho - the years go rolling down
Tears go on, tears go on together
Together - together
Oh, looking through the window
Staring at the rain
Oh, watching all the time go
Tears fall down like rain
Oh, watching at the window
Staring at the rain
Oh, watching as the time go
See my life go pour the rain on down
How Many More TimesHow many more times?
Treat me the way you wanna do
How many more times?
Treat me the way you wanna do
Just when I can't lose it, mama
Please, please love me too
I give you all I've got to give
Rings, pearls, and all
I give you all I've got to give
Rings, pearls, and all
Well I never showed a thing
Sure, sure you're gonna fall
And if you feel that you can't go on
And your will is sinking low, oh
In the light you will find the road
You will find the road
You will find the road to start along
You will find the road to start along
How many more times?
Barrelhouse all night long
How many more times?
Barrelhouse all night long
It's so hard to please you, mama
Girl, please come back home
Come back home
Why don't you do it, yeah? --
Won't you please come home?
Why don't you do it, yeah? --
Why don't you please?
A House Is Not A MotelAt my house I've got no shackles
You can come and look if you want to
In the halls you'll see no mantles
Where the light shines dim all around you
And the streets are paved with gold
And if someone asks, you can call my name
By the time the children singing
The bells from the schools, the walls will be ringing
No confusion - blood transfusion
The news today will be the movies for tomorrow
And the water's turned to blood
And if you don't think so, go turn on your tub
And if it's mixed with mud
You'll see it turn to grey
And you can call my name
I hear you call my name
You are just a thought that someone
Somewhere, somehow feels you should be here
And it's so for real to touch
To smell, to feel, to know that you are here
And the water's turned to blood
And if you don't think so, go turn on your tub
And if it's mixed with mud
You'll see it turn to grey
And you can call my name
I hear you call my name
You can call my name
