Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
Please don't tell them which train I'm on
So they won't know which route I've gone

When I die just bury me deep
Down at the foot of old Chestnut Street
So I can hear old number nine
As she goes roaring by

Blown there by a wind beam
Who searches for the moonbeam
Who was last seen
Looking at the tracks
Of the careless wind beam
Or moving to the clacks
Of the tireless freight train
And lighting up the sides

Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar
Dancing on the light from star to star
Far across the moonbeam I know that's who you are
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays
I want to love you but I'm getting blown away

If she’s a sunny day I’m a hurricane
if she’s a firework I’m a grenade
and she’ll give you what you ask her to
but I would have given you the Moon
I would have given you the moon
I would have given you the moon
She’s calm, she has such a pretty voice
with eyes as bright as the first snowfall
she’s strong, she’s the perfect choice
so how could you love her
if you’ve ever loved me at all

I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And she's taken just all that I have
But if you want, I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby, I know
The first cut is the deepest
When it comes to being lucky, she's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, she's worst

Senorita Nina
From Argentina
Knew all the answers
Although her relatives and friends were perfect dancers,
She swore she'd never dance a step until she died.
She said she'd seen too many movies
And all they prove is
Too idiotic
They all insist that South America's exotic
Whereas it couldn't be more boring if it tried.

She declined to Begin the Beguine when they besought her to
And in language profane and obscene
She cursed the man who taught her to
She cursed Cole Porter too.
etc. etc.

Thank you Sir Noel!

When dawn comes to touch my purple haze
And evening's drowsiness to carry me away
I know once again that there is nothing we can save
So I'll pack up my things, I'll be on my way
Yes, here I go again
Off down the road again
Thinking thoughts of days gone by
Here I am again
Singing my songs again
Thinking and dreaming
Thoughts of you and I

Now here you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well, who am I to keep you down?
It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully
To the sound of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
And what you had
And what you lost
Oh, thunder only happens when it's rainin'
Players only love you when they're playin'
Say women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
You'll know

Every time it rains
It rains pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains
Pennies from heaven
You'll find your fortunes
Fallin' all over town
Be sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love
You must have showers
So when you hear it thunder
Don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven
For you and me

Instinctively, you give to me the love that I need
I cherish the moments with you
Respectfully, I say to thee
I'm aware that you're cheating
When no one makes me feel like you do

Upside down
Boy, you turn me inside out
And 'round and 'round
Upside down
Boy, you turn me inside out
And 'round and 'round

Like a whisper, like a breeze
I wander quite slowly anywhere I please
I found me a pathway leading the right way
(Walking 'round) 'Round and 'round
Now I see clearly from the sky to the ground
I'm on a free ride inside and outside

I'm just looking around me
Letting myself be carried along
I'm just looking around me
Letting myself be carried along

I heard that front door closing softly
As I awakened from my sleep
With the soft touch of her kips, Lord
Like a whisper on my cheek

And I cursed the sun for risin'
For the worst, Lord, was yet to come
'Cause this morning, she's just leavin'
But, come sundown, she'll be gone

I can see her lying back in her satin dress
In a room where you do what you don't confess
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you've been hanging round my back stair
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you've been hanging round my back stair.

Oh, why you look so sad, the tears are in your eyes,
Come on and come to me now, and don't be ashamed to cry,
Let me see you through, 'cause I've seen the dark side too.
When the night falls on you, you don't know what to do,
Nothing you confess could make me love you less,

I'll stand by you,
I'll stand by you,
Won't let nobody hurt you,
I'll stand by you

Like a fool, I went and stayed too long
Now I'm wondering if your love's still strong
Ooh, baby, here I am
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!
Then that time I went and said goodbye
Now I'm back and not ashamed to cry
Ooh, baby, here I am
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!

Here I am
And within the reach of my hands
She's sound asleep
And she's sweeter now than the wildest dream
Could've seen her
And I watch her slipping away

But I know I'll be hunting high and low, high
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
Hunting high and low, high
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to

Climb ev’ry mountain,
Search high and low,
Follow ev’ry byway,
Every path you know.

Climb ev’ry mountain,
Ford ev’ry stream,
Follow ev’ry rainbow
Till you find your dream.

A dream that will need all the love you can give
Ev’ry day of your life for as long as you live.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some, but for everyone
Lord, we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last 'til the end of time

Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the preacher
And it seems nobody's interested in learning but the teacher
Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration
Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation
Ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today

There must be some way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line
Know what any of it is worth

Young girl, get outta my mind
My love for you is way put of line
Better run girl
You're much too young, girl

Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry
Still you don't regret a single day
Ah, girl
Girl, girl
When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her
She will turn to me and start to cry
And she promises the earth to me and I believe her
After all this time I don't know why

Bring the boys back home
Bring the boys back home
Don't leave the children on their own, no, no
Bring the boys back home

Wrong, do it again
Time to go
Are you feeling okay?
There's a man answering, but he keeps hanging up

Is there anybody out there?

Annie, are you okay?
Will you tell us that you're okay?
There's a sign in the window
That he struck you - a crescendo, Annie
He came into your apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay?
Are you okay, Annie?
You've been hit by
You've been hit by a smooth criminal
Ow!

And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Because you're so smooth
And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Oh, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it
