Oh my perfect cousin
What I like to do he doesn't
He's his family's pride and joy
His mother's little golden boy

All the nice girls love a sailor
All the nice girls love a tar
For there's something about a sailor
Well, you know what sailors are
Bright and breezy, free and easy
He's the ladies' pride and joy
Falls in love with Kate and Jane
Then he's off to sea again
Ship ahoy! Ship ahoy!

It used to be so easy, living here with you
You were light and breezy, and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy and I feel like a fool
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it

You don't know what's going on
You've been away for far too long
You can't come back and think you are still mine
You're out of touch, my baby
My poor old-fashioned baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to look, time to care
Someday
Somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere

Maybe we can
Find a place to feel good
And we can treat people with kindness
Find a place to feel good
Giving people second chances
I don't need all the answers
Feeling good in my skin
I just keep on dancin'

For auld lang syne, my jo,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne

Now bring us some figgy pudding
Now bring us some figgy pudding
Now bring us some figgy pudding
And a cup of good cheer

When you're falling awake
And you take stock of the new day
And you hear your voice croak
As you choke on what you need to say
Well, don't you fret, don't you fear
I will give you good cheer
Life's a long song

For you there might be a brighter star,
But through my eyes the light of you is all I see,
For you there might be another song,
But all my heart can hear is your melody

You don't have to be rich to be my girl
You don't have to be cool to rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm compatible with
I just want your extra time and your kiss

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray
Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the gray

Just remember in the winter
far below the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with the suns love
In Spring becomes a ROSE

Now after lovin' me late at night
When it's good for you, babe
And you're feeling alright
When you just roll over and turn off the light
You don't bring me flowers anymore

A year has come and gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe
And brother married Becky Thompson; they bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus going 'round; papa caught it, and he died last spring
And now mama doesn't seem to want to do much of anything
And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge

Billy don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life
Billy don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife
And as Billy started to go, she said keep you're pretty head low
Billy don't be a hero, come back to me

Her mind's made up, she walks down the road,
Her hands in her pockets, coat buttoned 'gainst the cold,
She finds Billy down at the Italian cafe
And when he's drunk it's hard to understand what Billy says
But then he mumbles in his coffee and suddenly roars,
"It's a rat trap and we've been caught..."

Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
And strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back

There were ghosts in the eyes
Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
On the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
When you get to the porch
They're gone on the wind
So Mary, climb in
It's a town full of losers
I'm pulling out of here to win

Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past?
And with this crutch, its old age and its wisdom
It whispers, "No, this will be the last"
And the wind cries, "Mary"

Then the door was open and the wind appeared,
The candles blew and then disappeared,
The curtains flew and then he appeared
Saying don't be afraid.

Sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you
'Til the fear in me subsides

Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, babe
Can't you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won't you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?

You touch me with your spirit
You touch me with your heart
You touch me in the darkness
A feeling starts
Make you feel, make you feel so unreal
Like a wind in the desert
Like a moon on the street
Sunshine on a rainy day
Makes my soul, makes my soul
Trip trip away

Let's go outside,
In the sunshine
I know you want to, but you can't say yes,
Let's go outside,
In the meantime
Take me to the places that I love best.
