Dying
It frightens me when you come to mind
The day you dropped in the shopping line
And my heart beats faster when I think of all the signs
When they carried you out your mouth was open wide
The cat went astray and the dog did pine for days and days
And we felt so guilty when we played you up
When you were ill, so ill
What sticks in my mind is the sweet jar
On the sideboard. and your multicolored tea cosy
What sticks in my mind is the dew-drop hanging off your nose
Shrivelled up and blue
And Im getting older, too
But I dont want to die like you
Dont want to die like you

London
Through the satellites, I fight with you
That loca l brew is spillin
I know just how you spend your time
I want to get my hands on him
Somebodys party in a london flat
Youre where its at and I know
You want to see me lose my mind
Im tired of chasing after you
The residue is jealous
See me on the d ark side of your mind
I want to get my hands on him
To a club thats pounding in the london rain
The world could end we wouldnt hear it
I know just whats on your mind
I see the way your face has changed
Were no good for each other
You tricked me into coming here
So let go, I dont want to go to london
I told you I dont care
I dont want to go to london
To live there
I dont want to go to london
All your friends afflicted
I dont want to go to london
Shes addicted
I saw you with h im
I know where youve been
That nose is broken wide open
Your way has got me out of line
I want to get my hands on him
You so... to make me
Prove it takes a fight to move you
I know just whats on your mind
Its been this way a thousand years
We torture each other
So why the helld you call me here
When you know
I dont want to go to london
I told you I dont care
I dont want to go to london
Live there
I dont want to go to london
All your friends afflicted
I dont want to go to london
Shes addicted
I dont want to go to london
I told you I dont care
I dont want to go to london
Cause youre not there
I dont want to go to london
Even when I see you
Somewhere else in london
I dont want to go to london

Angel
Unconditional love, that is what youve given to me
And I thank god, that you will always be right here with me
Even though were apart, you know that you will always
Have a place in my heart,
And if you call out my name
Ill be right there, so you dont have to cry alone
Like an angel Ill fly to you
With my arms open wide
So you dont have to cry no more
And with my wings open wide
Ill do what it takes
So you dont have to cry no more
Now dont be ashamed of saying
Of saying just how you feel
Take fear from inside
Open up your heart and say whats on your mind
cause youve shown me love with meaning, never were deceiving, for you
Im dedicated thats why Im celebrating our love, and if you call out my name
Ill be right there, so you dont have to cry alone
Like an angel Ill fly to you
With my arms open wide
So you dont have to cry no more
And with my wings open wide
Ill do what it takes
So you dont have to cry no more
Like an angel Ill fly, with my wings open wide
When you need me, so you just have to open your
Heart, so just open your heart and youll know from
The start that you dont have to cry no more
Like an angel Ill fly to you
With my arms open wide
So you dont have to cry no more
And with my wings open wide
Ill do what it takes
So you dont have to cry no more

Thats Not Right
If you dont feel like dancing tonight, well thats all right
And if you dont feel like holding me tight, well thats all right
cause I know that you love me
And youll show that you love me in your own sweet time
But if you feel like hurtin me baby, thats not right
If you dont want to go anywhere, well I dont mind
If you wanna stay home and play with your hair,
I still dont mind
cause I know that you need me
And youll know how to please me in your own sweet time
But if you want to leave me, well baby then I mind
I know that Ive been guilty of lying
I know I had a whole lot of nerve
But the way that you treat me since I begged your pardon
Is something that I dont deserve
And if you dont want to give me a date, well thats all right
cause I dont care how long Ive got to wait, Ive got all night
cause I know that you want to
But you know that youre goin to make me lose my mind
And if you care a bit for me baby, thats not right

Got My Mind Made Up
Dont ever try to change me,
I been in this thing too long.
Theres nothin you can say or do
To make me think Im wrong.
Well, Im goin off to libya,
Theres a guy I gotta see.
Hes been living there three years now,
In an oil refinery.
Ive got my mind made up.
Oh, I ve got my mind made up.
Call your ma in tallahassee
Tell her her babys on the line.
Tell her not to worry
Everything is gonna be fine.
Well, I gave you all my money
All my connections, too.
There aint nothin in this world, girl
You can say I didnt give to you.
Ive got my mind made up.
Ive got my mind made up.
You will be alright, girl,
Someones watchin over you.
He wont do nothin to you
Baby that I wouldnt do.
Well, if you dont want to see me,
Look the other way.
You dont have to feed me,
I aint your dog thats gone astray.

Open Your Heart
Days filled with joy,
And days filled with sorrow
I dont know just what to do
Am I happy today,
Am I lonely tomorrow
Everything depends on you
And Ive been waitin
For the angels to knock on my door
Ive been hopin
That everything could be like before
Open your heart
And tell me whats wrong
Why cant you talk like you used to do before
I dont know if Im weak
I dont know if I m strong
Hey girl I cant cope anymore
And Ive been waitin
For the angels to knock on my door
Ive been hopin
That everything could be like before
Open your heart,
Let me hear you
Make up your mind ,
I want to hear you call
Open your heart,
Want to come near you
Make up your mind,
Before we lose it all
Maybe that time
Has its own way of healin
Maybe it dries the tears in your eyes
But never change
The way that Im feelin
Only you can answer my cries

You Been On My Mind
(rodney crowell)
Guess its time for me to say just how it is that I feel today
Today is just like any other day cause youve been on my mind
It really hasnt been that long but its funny where the time has flown
Old memories just keep holding on and you been on my mind
You been on my mind sometimes
I think I must be going blind
Ive seen a world baby without you
But I dont see myself there too
Hardly does a day go by when I dont see your clear blue eyes
Many night I just wonder why and you been on my mind
Youve been on my mind so long
Ive been thinking that something was wrong
Ive told myself I should forget
But I dont seem to have it yet
I dont dream that you might change I dont think that Im acting strange
I tell myself its all in vain and you been on my mind
Youve been on my mind Ive said
Till its all thats in my head
Yes I know what I must do
But I dont think youll be there too
Guess its time for me to go but as it is Ill never know
Just what it is that I long for so and you been on my mind
You been on my mind

Poor Boy
Can you believe me when I say, theres nothing I like better,
Than just to sit here and talk with you.
Although Ill rant and Ill rave about one thing and another
The beauty of it is so pure to me, though,
Im a poor boy,
I can still be happy,
As long as I can feel free.
So many people I know, get old way too early
(well are you feelin kind of weary)
Just to impress you with the money theyve made
(you better, you better change your theory)
One drop of rain, they complain, its the same about the ways theyre earning.
Well, that is not the way Im gonna be,
Dont mind the rain, dont mind snow, dont mind nothin
If I know,
You will be right here with me
-well let her stay, dont mind a point of view,
How can we all afford to live like you;
This life is simply not enough,
We have no grievances, we must be tough-
-poor boy-
If thats the way its gonna be
-poor boy-
Its you for you and me for me
-poor boy-
(rd+rh)
Ive tried all I can, understanding, all the fools and all threir money,
When half of what theyve got, you know they never will use,
Enough to get by, suits me fine, I dont care if they think Im funny.
Im never gonna change my point of view,
Dont mind the rain, dont mind snow, dont mind nothing, if I know
You will be right here with me, all the way.
Na-na-na
Dont mind the rain, dont mind snow, dont mind nothing if I know
You will be right here with me , all the way.

Take Me Home
Take that look of worry
Im an ordinary man
They dont tell me nothing
So I find out what I can
Theres a fire thats been burning
Right outside my door
I cant see but I feel it
And it helps to keep me warm
So i, I dont mind
No i, I dont mind
Seems so long Ive been waiting
Still dont know what for
Theres no point escaping
I dont worry anymore
I cant come out to find you
I dont like to go outside
They cant turn off my feelings
Like theyre turning off a light
But i, I dont mind
No i, I dont mind
Oh i, I dont mind
No i, I dont mind
So take, take me home
Cos I dont remember
Take, take me home
Cos I dont remember
Take, take me home
Cos I dont remember
Take, take me home, oh lord
Cos Ive been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you
Take that look of worry, mines an ordinary life
Working when its daylight
And sleeping when its night
Ive got no far horizons
I dont wish upon a star
They dont think that I listen
Oh but I know who they are
And i, I dont mind
No i, I dont mind
Oh i, I dont mind
No i, I dont mind
So take, take me home
Cos I dont remember
Take, take me home
Cos I dont remember
Take, take me home
Cos I dont remember
Take, take me home, oh lord
Well Ive been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you
But I dont remember
Take, take me home...

Open Minds
Open your mind,
to things unknown,
search the universe
of your soul.
Open your mind,
to your heart
of feelings
buried deep within.
Open your mind
to your ear
of nature and
its beauty.
Open your mind
to knowledge
of things
unlearned yet.
Open your mind
to days gone
by of memories
vanished away.
Open your mind
to your feelings
hidden away
deep in your heart.
Open your mind
to my heart
to know how
i feel toward you.

Knotty Pine
Shes my knotty pine
She leans with the wind
She cries turpentine
Sometimes she nettles me
But I dont mind
Only now and then
When her branches lean beneath the snow
Shes knotty but nice
Reaching for the sky
She dont like snow n ice
To leave things as they stand
Is my advice
Shes been good to me
So I tend to go there when I can
Shes my knotty pine
Such a pretty scene
She tries to be kind
She gives birds a home
And shelters them
In her coat of green
Shes as green as evergreen can be
Shes a real delight
When little breezes call
To ruffle up her skin
All her sap runs free
And sticks to me
Hidden deep within
I will be her slave eternally
Shes my knotty pine
She leans with the wind
She crys turpentine
Sometimes she nettles me
But I dont mind
Only now and then
When her branches lean beneath the snow

Nothing New
There is nothing new
Put in front of you
Nothing you dont understand
Dont try to rationalize
No one hears your lies
Only you can comprehend
You dont want to see
You dont want to hear
You dont want to feel at all
Tell me that youve tries
Mind is open wide
But youre not listening at all
Please dont question me I dont have the time
If theres a problem that its easier to set aside
There is nothing that will make you want to change your mind
You cant take it
You cant make it
You cant make it so why try?
There is nothing new put in front of you
Tell me that youve tried to
Tell me that your mind is open

Nightingale
Im hanging on to my peace of mind
I just dont know
Im hanging on to those good times, baby
Just want to let them roll
Im gonna make it to the light and joy
Ill tell you why
I got a woman who can take me there
The apple of my eye
Oh, I just dont know, no no, no, no
I love her so
Dont let me see that morning paper
Cause I dont need those dues
Its just the same old murder movie
But they call it the news
Ill tell you what would be some story
And what would set me free
Is if the same thing happened to everybody
That just happened to me, oh,
I just dont know, no, no, no, no
Ill never let her go
Every time I hear somebody sneakin
Up behind whoa, I turn around
But I still hear that sound
And just when Im about to lose my mind
Here comes my baby
Singing like a nightingale
Coming my way down along that devastation
Trail well tell the lord above
Shes got a brand of love
That cannot fail
Im hanging on to my peace of mind
Thats no lie
Im hanging on to my special friend
The apple of my eye
My inspiration, too
Shes got a lead on my heart and
My soul and she knows just what to do
Oh, I just dont know, no ,no, no, no
No, I get so low, and my minds about to go
But wait a minute, here comes my baby
Singing like a nightingale
Coming my way down along that devastation
Trail
Well, let the fires burn, let the
Floods return
We will prevail
Hanging on to my peace of mind
I just dont know

Into The Night Of Blue
Into the night of blue, into the night of blue...
Havent heard your voice for a long long time
Still you have me hanging on the line
Still thinking bout you
Havent seen a smile upon my face
And I havent slept a night for days
I go, I go
Into the night of blue
You dont know what Im going through
Life is empty and sad without you
Im living lonely, wheres my baby
Into the night of blue
I dont know what Im gonna do
Life is empty and sad without you
Im living lonely, wheres my baby
In my mind are pictures of the past
Telling me a story meant to last
Still holding onto
Days out on the beach out in the sun
Nights when I was still your only one
Now I go, I go
Into the night of blue
You dont know what Im going through
Life is empty and sad without you
Im living lonely, wheres my baby
Into the night of blue
I dont know what Im gonna do
Life is empty and sad without you
Im living lonely, wheres my baby
Funny how these memories
Only lead me back to you
They lead me back to you
I go, I go...
Into the night of blue...
Havent heard your voice for a long long time
Still you have me hanging on the line
Now I go, I go...
Into the night of blue
You dont know what Im going through
Life is empty and sad without you
Im living lonely, wheres my baby
Into the night of blue
I dont know what Im gonna do
Life is empty and sad without you
Im living lonely, wheres my baby

Was It Something I Said
Was it something I said
Or something you read
Is changing your mind
Is turning you around
Is somebody wrong
And somebody right
What was it made up your mind
What could change overnight
And if all of your friends
Who used to be mine
Come down off the fence
And swear that youre fine
I can hate you no more
I cant even the score
Almost half of my life
Just fell right on the floor
Dont you come round here no more
Dont you waste my time
Dont you dare to phone me
Dont even have me on your mind
Was there someone you now
Who wont let you go
Their pushing you under
And bleeding you slow
They dont want your time
They wont give you mine
Their hands in your pocket
And your hearts on the line
Im know Im not perfect
I wanted to be
I have this big mouth
It always contradicts me
You say you dont know
I say anything goes
But if you think its over
Then this you should know
Dont you come round here no more
Dont you waste my time
Dont you dare to phone me
Dont even have me on your mind
Was it something I said
Or something you read
Is changing your mind
Is turning you around

Misty Mountain Hop
Walkin in the park just the other day, baby,
What do you, what do you think I saw?
Crowds of people sittin on the grass with flowers in their hair said,
Hey, boy, do you wanna score?
And you know how it is;
I really dont know what time it was, woh, oh,
So I asked them if I could stay awhile.
I didnt notice but it had got very dark and I was really,
Really out of my mind.
Just then a policeman stepped up to me and asked us said,
Please, hey, would we care to all get in line,
Get in line.
Well you know,
They asked us to stay for tea and have some fun,
Oh, oh, he said that his friends would all drop by, ooh.
Why dont you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see,
And baby, baby, baby, do you like it?
There you sit, sitting spare like a book on a shelf rustin
Ah, not trying to fight it.
You really dont care if theyre coming, oh, oh,
I know that its all a state of mind, ooh.
If you go down in the streets today, baby, you better,
You better open your eyes.
Folk down there really dont care, really dont care,
Dont care, really dont
Which, which way the pressure lies,
So Ive decided what Im gonna do now.
So Im packing my bags for the misty mountains
Where the spirits go now,
Over the hills where the spirits fly, ooh, I really dont know.

Accidents Will Happen
Oh I just dont know where to begin
Though he says hell wait forever
Its now or never
But she keeps him hanging on
The silly champion
She says she cant go home
Without a chaperone
Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
He used to be your victim
Now youre not the only one
Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
I dont want to hear it
cause I know what Ive done
Theres so many fish in the sea
That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury
But they keep you hanging on
They say youre so young
Your mind is made up but your mouth is undone
(chorus)
And its the damage that we do
And never know
Its the words that we dont say
That scare me so
Theres so many people to see
So many people you can check up on
And add to your collection
But they keep you hanging on
Until youre well hung
Your mouth is made up but your mind is undone

Open Wide These Prison Doors
Written by: neil diamond and stewart harris
Tied by love to you, but I was tied too strong
Still Im afraid of knowing what leaving means
I know I lived for you, and all I tried to do
You were the keeper of my dreams
Open wide these prison doors
Take these chains from around my heart
Make believe that Im no more
And dont mind when I depart
Need to find another place
Where love is not just tossed away
If you really care for me
Open wide these prison doors
And set me free
You were always caring, always warm and kind
But that was long ago, when love was blind
And I dont want to hurt you, the way that Ive been hurt
But if I stay Ill lose my mind
Open wide these prison doors
Take these chains from around my heart
Make believe that Im no more
And dont mind when I depart
Need to find another place
Where love is not just tossed away
If you really care for me
Open wide these prison doors
And set me free
Time is always moving
While were here standing still
I love you even though Im leaving
And maybe I always will
But, open wide these prison doors
Take these chains from around my heart
Make believe that Im no more
And dont mind when I depart
Need to find another place
Where love is not just tossed away
And if you really care for me
Open wide these prison doors
And set me free
If you really care for me
Open wide these prison doors
And set me free
Set me free, yeah
Come on and set me free
Set me free

Some Peace Of Mind
You see me on the street, well you guess Im doing fine
Oh but its fantasy baby, almost all the time
Ive got to get away, by myself
Oh the way its going, soon be needing help
'cause Im just a man, doing the best I can
Dont you understand, I just want some peace of mind
You see me on the stage, doing my job
I learn to do it well, keep on singing the song
But sometimes it gets, so lonely out there
When youre on the road and youre going nowhere
Because Im just a man, oh I aint got no plans
Dont you understand, Im just trying to find some peace of mind
I have to stand in line, baby when Im in queue
I got to do it all, just the same as you
Got my doubts about it, oh but I try
Oh make it work with tears in my eyes
Because Im just a man, only trying to do the best I can
Dont you understand, I want some peace of mind
Oh Im just a man, baby I aint got no plan
Oh dont you understand, got to get some peace of mind
Oh got to get, got to get some peace of mind
Oh got to get, got to get some peace of mind
Got to get, got to get some peace of mind
Got to, got to, got to get, got to get, get some peace of mind
Got to get, got to get, get some peace of mind
Get me some, get me some, get me some, get me some peace of mind
Get me some, get me some, peace of mind
Get me some baby, get me some peace of mind.
