I Thought I Heard You Calling My Name
(Lee Emerson)
I said goodbye to you this mornin'
With only these words to explain
I said I'd found someone Ilove better
But I still hear your voice call my name
I thought I heard you callin' my name
Funny, I still feel this way.
Your voice seem so close, but I knew
That by now you were many miles away
--- Instrumental ---
I walk through the streets of the city
People passing by think it's so strange
I'm talkin' but there's no one beside me
I thought I heard you call my name
I thought I heard you callin' my name
Funny I still feel this way
Your voice seems so close but I knew
That by now you're many miles away
I thought I heard you callin' my name...

Heard Somebody Cry
(I thought I heard somebody cry--
I though I heard somebody cry)
I went to see what I could find
Like flowers in the dead of night
Like shadows in the moonlight--
I though I heard somebody cry
A choir with a single voice--a picnic on a cliff
Antenna like an insect--to pick up all your thoughts
Chorus
It isnt true
I am not the ghost
Without a soul . . . come
Listen to my heart
You feel the beat . . . stop
Listen to the sound
Of moving feet . . . walk
Through the halls at night
When Im asleep
I dont believe . . .i dont believe
The shoe is on the other foot--the glove is on the fist
The first is like a cannonball--but it feels like a kiss
I got a bed thats real soft--in a room thats always sad
I thought I heard a window sigh--
I though I heard somebody cry
Chorus
A choir with a single voice--a picnic on a cliff
Antenna like an insect--to pick up all your thoughts
I sip the running water--like rivers from your eyes
I thought I heard somebody cry--somebody might be lost
I thought I heard somebody cry--somebody might be lost
I thought I heard somebody cry--i thought Id go and see
I thought I heard somebody cry--somebody might be me

I Hear Your Voice
So many nights thought that I was doing fine
Thought that time had chased your picture from my mind
So many times thought my heart was finally strong
Now I find this heart of mine was so wrong
I thought Id finally learned to get on with my life
I hear your voice-(call)
Your voice (call)
Your voice (call)
The way it used to do
I feel my heart (fall)
I try to keep you off my mind
But every time I do, I hear your voice
So many days I thought that I could love again
But any fool in love would know thats all pretend
You always seem to find your way
Back in my dreams and I cant break free
Chorus
You know I tried so many times just to forget you
Ive tried to walk away from you
Oh girl, its just no use
I hear your voice (call)
Your voice (call)
Your voice (call)
Calling me.. calling me the way...
I feel my heart (fall)
I try to keep you off my mind
But every time I do,
I hear your voice
I hear your voice
I hear your voice

When Love Starts Talkin
I thought I had my life worked out
I thought I knew what it was all about
Then love started talkin
Your love started talkin
I had my mind on the open road
I thought I knew where I wanted to go
Then love started talkin
Your love started talkin
(chorus)
When love starts talkin
You got no choice
But to shut up and listen
Its a powerful voice
Open the door
And let it walk in
Thats what you gotta do
When love starts talkin
I thought I had it wrapped up neat and nice
I didnt need nobodys advice
Then love started talkin
Your love started talkin
(repeat chorus)
I thought I heard it all before
I thought I didnt need to hear no more
Then love started talkin
Your love started talkin
Your love started talkin
Your love started talkin
Your love started talkin
Love started talkin

Far Away Places
(alex kramer / joan whitney)
The springfields
Far away places
With strange sounding names
Far away over the sea
Far away places
With the strange sounding names
Are callin, (callin), callin, (callin) me
Going to china, or maybe siam
I wanna see for myself
Those far away places
Ive been reading about
In a book (in a book)
That I took (that I took)
From a shelf
I start getting restless
Whenever I hear
The whistle of a train
I pray for the day I can get under way
And look for those castles in spain
They call me a dreamer
Well, maybe I am
But I know that Im burning to see
Those far away places
With the strange sounding names
Callin, (callin), callin, (callin) me
Far away, so far away
Far away, so far away

I thought
I thought I saw his face to day.
In the wake of the sun.
And then I heard the Lord say.
His work here is done.
I thought I heardhis voice today.
And luagh your joyfull luagh.
Then I heard the Lord say.
There is peace dear one at last.
I though I felt your touch in the breeze that rustled by.
And then I heard the lord say.
The spirit never dies.
I thought I saw my broken hart.
In the cresent of the moon.
And then I heard the lord say.
I am coming soon.
I thought that you had left me
for the stars above.
And then I heard the lord say.
He has left you with his love.
I thought that I would miss you so.
And never find my way.
Then I heard the lord say.
He is with you every day

Im Coming Back
Funny sometimes how you let
The little things
Get in your way
Funny how you just cant talk
Although sometimes
Youve got so much to say
Silly when you know youve got the thing
That everybody
Needs so bad
Stupid if you let those jealous people
Telling lies
Make you sad
I thought I heard a voice
Telling me go home
No need to run no more
Neednt be alone
I dont care what you do
Im coming back
I can look forward too
Im coming back
Crazy feelings that you get
Sometimes they make you
Want to run away
The provocation that you let
Overcome you
When you ought to stay
I thought I saw her face
In every single crowd
I heard her voice again
Calling me aloud
I dont care what you do
Im coming back
I can look forward too
Im coming back
I thought I never could
Return where I belong
But with her waiting there
I knew I could be strong
I dont care what you do
Im coming back
I can look forward too
Im coming back
I dont care what you do
Im coming back
I can look forward too
Im coming back

Thank You
Once upon a time I walked an easy road
Didnt think I needed anyone.
I could make it on my own
Never thought about tomorrow, just livin day to day
Never thought these clouds would come along
And bring me so much pain
When my world was upside down
I didnt think that I could make it,
Reached out my hand for you
And you were there to take it
Chorus
I wanna thank you
For being my strength when I thought I couldnt go on
And I wanna thank you
Be,
til I get over you
Verse 2
Walked through the park, in the evening air
I heard a voice and I thought you were there
I run away but I just cant escape
Memories of you everywhere
They say that time will dry the tears
But true love burns for a thousand years
Give my tomorrows for one yesterday
Just to know that I could have you here
Bridge
When will this river of tears stop fallin
Where can I run so I wont feel alone
Cant walk away when the pain keeps callin
Ive just gotta take it from here on my own
But its so hard to let go

i Thought I Heard A Man Cry Last Night
'I THOUGHT I HEARD A MAN CRY LAST NIGHT'
I thought I heard him weep
I thought I heard a man cry last night
He woke me from my sleep
I thought I heard a man cry last night
I heard his gentle sob,
I thought I heard a man cry last night
I wondered why he was so sad,
I thought I heard a man cry last night
Or was I going mad,
I thought I heard a man cry last night
I heard his cries subside
I thought I heard a man cry last night
Before I returned gently to my sleep,
I thought I heard a man cry last night
My Pillow doesnt tell me any lies, !

Jump!
He heard the planets being born,
he heard the dinosaur's first roar
he heard the voice of Hebrew slaves
plummeting to earth that day.
He thought he heard the voice of God
the devil too and all his souls,
he thought he heard the angels sing
within white clouds, enchantingly.
And there above the planet, blue,
his heart beat out a merry tune
but none did hear it beat so swift
or heard his gasping, breathlessness.
‘Twas faster than the speed of sound
he catapulted to the ground
per chance to land upon his feet,
his own demise he aimed to cheat.
Then standing on the earths hard crust
he brushed aside his tousled fringe
as though he'd been out for a jog
all cavalier and nonchalant.

I Heard An Angel Say
I thought I saw her face today
in the sparkle of the morning sun
and then I heard the angel say
her work on earth is done
I thought I heard her voice today
then laugh her hearty laugh
and then I hear the angel say
there's peace little one at last
I thought I felt her touch today
in the breeze that rustled by
and then I hear an angel say
the spirit never dies
I thought she had left me
for the stars to far above
and then I hear the angel say
she left you with her love
I thought I would miss her
and never find my way
and then I heard the angel say
she's with you everyday

The Telephone
'When I was just as far as I could walk From here today, There was an hour All still When leaning with my head again a flower I heard you talk. Don't say I didn't, for I heard you say-- You spoke from that flower on the window sill- Do you remember what it was you said?' 'First tell me what it was you thought you heard.' 'Having found the flower and driven a bee away, I leaned on my head And holding by the stalk, I listened and I thought I caught the word-- What was it? Did you call me by my name? Or did you say-- Someone said "Come" -- I heard it as I bowed.' 'I may have thought as much, but not aloud.' "Well, so I came.'

California Callin'
Driving through the night
Tears running down my face
Start to realize all the things that I once had
I promised you the world
That's nothing more than you deserve
It's killing me inside to know I put you through this hell
Take away my heart
It doesn't want to work no more
I never meant to make you cry
California Callin 20 miles to go
And I don't, I don't know
Should I turn around or
Should I leave you alone?
No, I don't, I don't know
I don't know.
No, I don't know
No one on the road
And it feels so cold outside
It's driving me insane to know how much you hurt tonight
Take away my heart it doesn't wanna work no more
I never meant to make you cry
California Callin 20 miles to go
And I don't, I don't know
Should I turn around or
Should I leave you alone?
No I don't, I don't know
California callin 20 miles to go
And I don't, I don't know
I don't know
No, I don't know
California callin 20 miles to go
And I don't, I don't know
Should I turn around or
Should I leave you alone?
No I don't, I don't know
California callin 20 miles to go
I don't know, no I don't know
Should I turn around or
Should I leave you alone?
No, I don't know.

I Never Really Knew You
Chorus:
Well I never really knew you til you said goodbye
You said its finally over, heres the reasons why
You said youve heard enough of all those little lies
I never really knew you til you said goodbye
I thought I made you happy but youve proved me wrong
I thought I was the one that really turned you on
When I came home tonight all my things were gone
I guess gettin over me didnt take you long
(repeat chorus twice)

I never really knew you til you said goodbye
No I never really knew you til you said goodbye

Blue Monday
How does it feel to treat me like you do?
When youve laid your hands upon me
And told me who you are
I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard your words
Tell me, how do I feel
Tell me now, how do I feel
Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
Theyll turn away no more
And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But Im quite sure that youll tell me
Just how I should feel today
I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasnt for your misfortune
Id be a heavenly person today
And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard you speak
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now, how should I feel
Now I stand here waiting...
I thought I told you to leave me
While I walked down to the beach
Tell me how does it feel
When your heart grows cold

Call My Name
When this old world has let you down
And friends no longer want you around
When you feel burdened down with care
And troubles seem so hard to bear
Call my name
Hear me talkin' to ya baby
Call my name
Don't ya hear what i'm sayin'?
Call my name
A-whoa-oh-oh-oh
(call my name)
And i'll be there
If ya feel that you're all alone
And sick inside away from home
When you no longer want to try
Or care if you should live or die
Call my name
Hear me talkin' to ya baby
Call my name
Don't ya hear what i'm sayin'?
Call my name
A whoa-woah-oh-oh
(call my name) yeah
An i'll be there
Yeah
(instrumental)
When evra'thing that you try has failed
And you never even get no mail
Well life to you seems such a bore
And blues come callin' 'round your door
Call my name
Hear me talkin' to ya baby
(call my name)
Call my name
Don't you hear what i'm sayin'?
Call my name
Any time ya need me (call my name)
Anytime ya want me baby
All ya gotta do is (call my name) call me

All ya gotta do is (call my name) call me
An i be right there

Great Rain
Great rain great rain
I thought I heard you call my name
Great rain great rain
I thought I heard you call my name
I was standing in the station
Waving down an unmarked train
Theres a fire at the junction
Why do you do the things you do
Theres a fire at the junction
Why do you do the things you do
I was praying for mercy
And all he ever sent me was you
Jimmy bought the liquor
I bought the cups and ice
Jimmy bought the liquor
I bought the cups and ice
I tell you funny stories
Why cant you treat me nice
Great rain great rain
I thought I heard you call my name
Great rain great rain
I thought I heard you calling my name
I was standing by the river
Talking to a young mark twain.

This Month Messiah
I'm just a pilgrim here looking for holy ground
I'm just a body lost but my soul can be found
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
I don't know where to turn when answers all fade clear
But I must find a place there's only questions here
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
I feel...feel like I'm on trial
Who made a judge of you
Are you this month's messiah
I am a fightin' man tired of living under the gun
But am I looking for love or am I looking to run
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
I heard...I heard it on the wire
That it's all up to you
Are you this month's messiah
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
