On the banks of the river stood Running Bear, young Indian brave
On the other side of the river stood a lovely Indian maid
Little White Dove was her name such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other so their love could never be.

Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love as big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that would not die.

How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that's so cold
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father , too bold
Maybe your just like my mother
She's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

So, take a look at me now
Well, there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Now, take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
But to wait for you is all I can do
And that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now
'Cause I'll still be standing here
And you comin' back to me is against all odds
It's the chance I've gotta take

What shall we use to fill the empty spaces
Where waves of hunger roar?
Shall we set out across the sea of faces
In search of more and more applause?
Shall we buy a new guitar?
Shall we drive a more powerful car?
Shall we work straight through the night?
Shall we get into fights?
Leave the lights on?
Drop bombs?
Do tours of the east?
Contract disease?
Bury bones?
Break up homes?
Send flowers by phone?
Take to drink?
Go to shrinks?
Give up meat?
Rarely sleep?
Keep people as pets?
Train dogs?
Race rats?
Fill the attic with cash?
Bury treasure?
Store up leisure?
But never relax at all
With our backs to the wall!

Shall we dance
Or keep on moving
Shall we dance
And walk on air
Shall we give in to despair
Or Shall we dance with never a care
Life is short
We're growing older
Don't you be an also ran
You'd better dance little lady
Dance little man
Dance whenever you can

Let's dance
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let's dance
To the song they're playin' on the radio
Let's sway
While color lights up your face
Let's sway
Sway through the crowd to an empty space
If you say run
I'll run with you
And if you say hide
We'll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall into my arms
And tremble like a flower

Fergus sings the blues
In bars of twelve or less
I'm a stranger to the land
To this wilderness
All things are possible
But happen less and less
This is my country, these are my reasons

Cos I look in the mirror
And it throws back a question....

Tell me, can this white man sing the blues?

Oh Lord, wish my bed wasn't silken sheets so tight
I got to keep my strength up got to do a show tonight
I'll have a cup of coffee while I'm taking in the news
No need to have a shave 'cause I'm gonna sing the blues
Well, I think I'll get a massage, maybe lose a little fat
So I'll have to go downtown in my brand new Cadillac
My valet comes and dresses me, I light a big cigar
Because I like to look like Nimrod when I'm riding in my car
Can blue men sing the whites
Or are they hypocrites for singing, woo, woo, wooh?

When you're alone and life is making you feel lonely
You can always ho
Downtown
When you've got worries,all the noise and hurry
Seems to help , I know
Downtown

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon lights are proud
How can you lose
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles,forget all yourcares

Don't you feel it growing, day by day
People getting ready for the news
Some are happy, some are sad
Oh, we got to let the music play

What the people need
Is a way to make 'em smile
It ain't so hard to do if you know how
Gotta get a message
Get it on through
Oh now mama, don't you ask me why

Whoa, listen to the music
Whoa, listen to the music
Whoa, listen to the music
All the time

The preacher talked with me and he smiled
He said, Come and walk with me, come on walk one more mile
Now for once in my life I'm alone
And I ain't got a dime
There's no time for the phone

I've just gotta get a message to you, hold on, hold on,
One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on.

Spread your wings for New Orleans
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
And take a message to Martha, message to Martha
She sings each night in some cafe
In her search to find wealth and fame
I hear Martha has gone and changed her name

It's a year since she was here
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
And take a message to Martha, message to Martha
Tell her I love her more each day
As the train pulled out down the track
Martha promised she'd soon be coming back

Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl
But she doesn't have a lot to say
Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl
But she changes from day to day
I wanna tell her that I love her a lot
But I gotta get a belly full of wine
Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl
Someday I'm gonna make her mine, oh yeah
Someday I'm gonna make her mine

I feel unhappy
I feel so sad
I've lost the best friend
That I ever had
She was my woman
I love her so
But it's too late now
I've let her go
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
We shared the years
We shared each day
In love together
We found a way
But soon the world
Had its evil way
My heart was blinded
Love went astray

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing, or maybe we just stopped trying

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

Something wrong with the word today
I don't know what it is
Somethings wrong with our eyes
We're seeing things in a different way
And God knows it ain't his
It sure ain't no surprise

We're living on the edge
Living on the edge
Living on the edge
Living on the edge

There's something wrong with the world today
The light bulb is getting dim
There's a Meltdown in the sky
If you can judge a man
By the color of his skin

We're living on the edge

If you wake up and don't want to smile
If it takes just a little while
Open your eyes and look at the day
You'll see things in a different way

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be, better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone

And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothings gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothings gonna stop us
Nothings gonna stop us now
Oh , whoa

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper I love you
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me.

Say Nightie night and kiss me
Just hold me close and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me.

Hold me close don't let me go, oh no
I, yes, I love you and I think that you know
Do you know?
With your love light shining
Every cloud's got a silver lining
So hold me close, don't let me go

When I woke up the rain was pouring down
There were people standing all around
Something warm running through my eyes
But somehow I found my baby that night
I lifted her head and she looked at me and said
Hold me darling just a little while
I held her close I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I would miss
But now she's gone even though I hold her tight
I lost my love,my life that night

It's late and she is waiting and I know I must go home
But every time I start to leave they play another song
Then someone buys another round and whatever drinks are free
What's made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me

Baby's begged me not to go so many times before
She said love and happiness can't live behind those swinging doors
Now's she's gone and I'm to blame too late I finally see
What's made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me

Well, I'm a gonna get on that ol' turnpike and I'm gonna ride
I'm a gonna leave this town till you decide
Which one you want the most them Opry stars or me
Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee.
Milwaukee is a-where we were before we came here
Workin' in a bruerry making the finest beer
You come to me on payday night said let's go to Tennessee
So we came down to Nashville to the Grand Ole Opry.

I'm going to Graceland
Memphis Tennessee, I'm going to Graceland
Poor boys and pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland

And my travelling companions are ghosts and empty sockets
I'm looking at ghosts and empties
But I've reason to believe
We will all be recieved in Graceland

Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find a party that tried to get in touch with me
She did not leave a number but I know who placed the call
'Cause my uncle took a message and he wrote it on the wall
Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd call me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the south side, high upon a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge
