Old Man On The Farm
Hes waitin for come rain to fall
Hes waitin for some mail to come
Hes waitin for the dawn again
Old man on the farm
Milk the cow - slop the pigs
Sweeping out the chicken-house
Drinking whiskey in the barn
Goodnight ladies
Sorry if I stayed too long
So long its been good to know you
I love the way I sing that song

Just a-waitin for the grass to turn [g] green.
The [g] bar-flys waitin for an easy mark

Farmers daughters waitin for the salesman
To take her into town
The city slickers waitin for the country boy
To lay all his money down.
You know evrything comes to a standstill
Nothin seems to make a turn
Worm must be waitin for the early bird
I guess the early birds waitin for the worm.
Nobody wants to do nothin
Just waitin to get a finger in the pie
Waitin for a call from a big quiz show
Or hopin and a-waitin and for some rich uncle to die.
Katy, shes waitin at the garden gate
The moonshiners waitin at the still
n the gamblers still waitin for that ace in the hole
I guess jacks still waitin for jill.
Evrybodys waitin for somthin
Nothing seems to turn out right
cause the night shifts waitin for mornin
And the burglar just waitin for night.
The congregations waitin for the preacher
Preacher just waitin for the groom
The grooms just waitin for the june bride
And the brides just waitin for june.
Sunflowrs waitin for the sunshine
Violets just waitin for dew
Bees just waitin for honey
And, honey, -- Im -- just -- waitin -- for -- you.

From A Whisper To A Scream
Oh its not easy to resist temptation
Walking around looking like a figment of somebody elses imagination
Taking evry word she says just like an open invitation
But the power of persuasion is no match for anticipation
Chorus:
Like a finger running down a seam
From a whisper to a scream
So I whisper and I scream
But dont get me wrong
Please dont leave me waitin too long
Waitin too long
Waitin too long
Waitin too long
Hey
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh if the customers like it then theyll keep on paying
If they keep on drinking then theyll end up staying
I heard someone say where have we met before
But the one over the eight seem less like one or more like four

Waitin' On You
It's ten o' clock and i'm still alone, waitin'
By the phone, it makes me think you won't
Be back again, and i'm feeling so intense.
(backs: got me waitin', got me waitin'.)
Chorus
I can't keep wastin' my time, waitin' on you
To come home, to come home now.
(repeat)
I fantasize of makin' love, it's such a lonely
Feeling without you, but i would not have
To dream, if you would just be there to
Share my love desire.
Bridge
I should not be alone, just waitin' for a
Man who says he loves me so. i have more
Patience than i can believe. it's a shame, i
Can't believe i'm still alone

Waitin On A Sunny Day
Its rainin but there aint a cloud in the sky
Must of been a tear from your eye
Everythingll be okay
Funny, thought I felt a sweet summer breeze
Must of been you sighin so deep
Dont worry were gonna find a way
Im waitin, waitin on a sunny day
Gonna chase the clouds away
Waitin on a sunny day
Without you, Im workin with the rain fallin down
Im half a party in a one dog town
I need you to chase these blues away
Without you, Im a drummer girl that cant keep a beat
An ice cream truck on a deserted street
I hope that youre coming to stay
Im waitin, waitin on a sunny day
Gonna chase the clouds away
Waitin on a sunny day
Hard times, baby well they come to us all
Sure as the tickin of the clock on the wall
Sure as the turnin of the night into day
Your smile girl, brings the mornin light to my eyes
Lifts away the bleus when I rise
I hope that youre coming to stay
Im waitin, waitin on a sunny day
Gonna chase the clouds away
Waitin on a sunny day

A lonely tree
At a road where the road off
where lonesome is the road
at mid of no where
A lonely tree is standing there
waitin no one but the dust
dust of the passing time
tarnish the colour of this tree
this lonely tree to gray
praying in this lonely place
for the passing van
A gray lonely van
for the lonely bird
staying for a while
when the nights come
and days go
the lonely tree; praying there
when the war rage and peace,
walkin shy
the lonely tree praying for the peace
no one is waitin there
but the lonely tree is waitin
the morning sun
waitin the rain in may
waitin winds from the north
waitin when no one is waitin there
and this lonely tree
gave a name for this nameless place
the land of the lonely tree.

At Least We're Dreaming
When do we get to the part where I can go home,
Been hiding inside the jungle gym for way too long
Waitin' for someone to come along and find me
Live in an apartment that bums me out
It don't get better when the lights go out
Waitin' for someone to come along and find me
Swimin' through the isles at the grocery store
I don't even know what I'm lookin for
Waitin' for someone to come along and find me
At least I'm breathin'
At least I'm alive
As long as I'm dreamin'
Everything's gonna be alright
To the corner to call collect
Your mother wants to know are you happy yet
Waitin' for someone to come along and find you
Goin' out at night lookin' for distractions
Sleepin' through the day there's no redemption
Waitin' for someone to come along and find you
At least you're breathin'
At least you're alive
As long as you're dreamin'
Everything's gonna be alright
I'm alright, I tell myself twice
In the mirror before I cant go to sleep at night
I need a lullaby I need some time
I need to get a dime bag from my guy [x2]
At least we're breathin
At least we're alive
As long as we're dreamin'
Everything's gonna be alright
I'm alright, I tell myself twice
In the mirror before I cant go to sleep at night
I need a lullaby I need some time
I need to get a dime bag from my guy [x2]

Frogs
There you are
Infected with the water strain
Wash your car
Fish and thoughts come screaming down like rain
There you are
Wash your hands and wash your face
Waters gone

Im waitin on the rain
Im waitin for the frogs to fall

Tonight Youre Mine
(eric carmen)
Took me so long to get up my courage
Never thought shed give me a chance
Took her out and told her I loved her
Then she put my hand in her pants
And she said, come on, take me
I want your love to break me
Make it like its never been before
Because, tonight youre mine
Ive been waitin such a long, long time
For tonight, I got you all to myself
Tonight, I know theres no one else
Because, tonight youre mine
Tonight youre mine
She woke up at four in the morning
Whispered to me, lets do it again
I felt strange like somethin was missin
Love is always pleasure and pain
But I said, come on, take me
I want your love to break me
Make it like its never been before
Because, tonight youre mine, sugar
Ive been waitin such a long, long time
For tonight, I know theres no one else
For tonight, I got you all to myself
Because, tonight youre mine
Tonight youre mine
Was it somethin we forgot to say
That took romance away
Can it be that now the feelings gone
You know I cant be wrong
It took me so long
Because, tonight youre mine
Ive been waitin such a long, long time
For tonight, I know theres no one else
Well tonight, I got you all to myself
Because, tonight youre mine, yeah
Tonight youre mine, yeah
Tonight youre mine
Tonight youre mine, yeah
Tonight youre mine, yeah
Ive been waitin such a long, long time
For tonight, I know theres no one else
Well tonight, oh, I got you all to myself
Because, tonight youre mine, sugar
Tonight youre mine, yeah
Tonight youre mine

Show Me
We got the same beat runnin round
Through this crazy town
Oh Im sick and I cant hear it anymore
And when we touched as the blood and the rain
Wed be shakin the ground
Shes sick and theres a way to bring her round
Show me what youre waitin for
This moment may not rise again
And your heart will never know
Show me what youre waitin for
The voices may not rise again
And the world will never know
The party drags us over the edge to a poison shore
I cant carry this desire anymore
Across the blue sky callin me with the sweetest demand
She talks to me of mercy make me understand
Show me what youre waitin for
This moment may not rise again
And your heart will never know
Show me what youre waitin for
The voices may not rise again
And the world will never know
And through these years
As the tears chase the rain
The picture has cleared
Can we face the change
Show me what youre waitin for
The voices may not rise again
And the world will never know
Show me what youre waitin for
This moment may not rise again
And your heart will never know

Will The Circle Be Unbroken
(traditional)
This is a traditional song. jeff performed it live at the club logo, hamburg, on february 22, 1995.
I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rollin
For to take my mother away.
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by lord, by and by,
Theres a better home a-waitin
In the sky lord, in the sky.
I told the undertaker:
Undertaker, please drive slow,
For this body you are haulin
Lord, I hate to see her go.
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by lord, by and by,
Theres a better home a-waitin
In the sky lord, in the sky.
Well I followed close behind her,
Tried to hold up and be brave,
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by lord, by and by,
Theres a better home a-waitin
In the sky lord, in the sky.
I went back home, my home was lonesome,
Missed my mother she was gone.
All my brothers and sisters crying
In our home so sad and alone.
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by lord, by and by,
Theres a better home a-waitin
In the sky lord, in the sky.
We sang the songs of childhood,
Hymns of faith that made us strong,
Ones that our mother had taught us,
Hear the angels sing along
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by lord, by and by,
Theres a better home a-waitin
In the sky lord, in the sky.

Time's Wastin
We could sit around and talk
About the ins and outs
Of why we shouldn't take a chance
Be so afraid it's gonna rain
We sit and miss a sunny day
To avoid the circumstance
There's a million and one reasons we could run
But it's too late for that
Time's wastin' it ain't waitin' for us
I know that we can make it
We can make it with a little luck
Call me crazy that might be go ahead
And laugh at me
But I still believe that dreams come true
So let's forget the past the times we could
But didn't dance
It's all come down to me and you
We're right here and right now baby
There's no doubt
We have what it takes to do it, but
Time's wastin' it ain't waitin' for us
I know that we can make it
We can make it with a little luck
Girl, we only have to trust in our love
We've got memories to make,
For heaven's sake, baby
Let's not forsake another moment, 'cause
Time's wastin' it ain't waitin' for us
I know that we can make it
We can make it with a little luck
Time's wastin' it ain't waitin' for us
I know that we can make it
We can make it with a little luck
We can make it, baby

Leah
I wanna build me a house, on higher ground
I wanna find me a world, where love's the only sound
High above this road, filled with shadow and doubt
I want to shoulder my load, and figure it all out
With Leah
I walk this road, with a hammer and a fiery lantern
With this hand I've built, and with this I've burned
I wanna live in the same house, beneath the same roof
Sleep in the same bed, search for the same proof
As Leah
I got somethin' in my heart, I been waitin' to give
I got a life I wanna start, one I been waitin' to live
No more waitin', tonight I feel the light I say the prayer
I open the door, I climb the stairs...

If only we could keep this feelin

Whoa oo oh the dawn comes up like thunder
Somebody give me a light I need a little
Help thru the darkness
Just a little light
Enough to get me home
All nite long, all nite long, all nite long
Sometimes the musics a doorway
Out of the darkness into the light
Climb the dream I can make you dream
All nite long, all nite long
See the ruins of a once mighty castle
A land where the sun casts no shadow
Sings and wonders the sund of thunder
All nite long, all nite long
Step into the sky you wont
Fall Ill tell you why
You got to be a sky rider
All nite long, all nite long
Whoa oo oh your love come up like thunder
Somebody give me a light I need a little
Help thru the darkness
Just a little light
Enough to get me home
All nite long, all nite long, all nite long
I can read your mind an I know
What youre thinkin
I can see your mind just as clear as my own
The pictures I see they all tell a story
Bout where we been and where were goin
Tonite if only the music would keep on playing
Tonite if only I could dance with you
Tonite if only we could keep on singin
All nite long, all nite long, all nite long

I Want To Be The One Who Yah Yahs
I don't want to be that singer,
Of a long song gone.
Or be the one defeated,
By two unmoving feet.
I don't want to feel them stuck as if cemented,
With a sitting to waste time away.
I don't want to be that singer,
Of a long song gone.
Not any time of any day.
I don't want to be that singer,
Of a long song gone.
I...
Want my happy yah yahs.
I want that in my voice and strong.
I want my yah yahs there and a part...
Of my happiness all day long.
I don't want to be that singer,
Of those blues that sap.
I don't want to be the one that sits,
In a rocking chair to reminisce like that!
I...
Want to be the one who yah yahs.
I want to turn my yah yahs into art!
I want to hear my yah yahs rise,
To echo all over the place.
I don't want to be that singer,
Of a long song gone.
I...
Want my happy yah yahs.
I want that in my voice and strong.
I want my yah yahs there and a part...
Of my happiness all day long.
I want my yah yahs to never stop,
Drop to fizz or plop!
I don't want to be the one to sing,
About a dues I've paid.
With a blues with me that stays.
I...
Want to be the one who yah yahs.
I want to turn my yah yahs into art!
I'm going to yah yah until someone decides I disturb.
And they threaten to call the cops.
And when those cops arrive they will know,
The yah yahs I've got will not be stopped.
Since I'll shout my yah yahs from the top of roofs.
These yah yahs I've got come from the bottom of my heart!
There I discover my truth.
Dedicated:
In remembrance to Ernie K. Doe,
That great New Orleans singer and composer.
I will always remember when I first heard his song,
'Mother-In-Law'. To this very day...that song is 'hot'!
'I'm sittin' in la la,
Waitin' for my yah yah...
Uh huh,
Uh huh.
I said I'm sittin' in la la,
Waitin' for my yah yah...
Uh huh,
Uh huh.'

yeah and order my hundreath cup of coffee today
My hands are shakin'
At half past seven I'm sittin here waitin' for
my boy all alone for too long It's after eleven

cause I don't need this
You never think twice before you break all the rules

[CHORUS:]
I'll walk away and say good bye
If you don't want me anymore
I've bot my pride
I'll walk away and say good bye
if I don't get the love we had before
not satisfied
He finally gets here I'm waitin' for him to ask me
why there's a frown on my face He orders a
cold beer he has an excuse about his car
breakin' down but I don't buy it
You're givin' me sometin' I don't need anymore
Just gimme the word and I'll be slammin' the door
[CHORUS]
His best intentians are never the same as what
he does of the end of the day. I'm feelin' the
tension yeah Don't gimme no reasons cause you
don't comprehend what am I feelin'
You never think twice before you break all the rules
You gotta be crazy if you think I'm a fool
You're givin' me somethin' I don't need anymore
Just gimme the word and I'll be slammin' the door

So tell me now Just say the word
It won't be long
I'll be long long gone...

Goodnight ladies, ladies goodnight

Now all night long youve been drinking your tequilla
But now youve sucked your lemon peel dry
So why not get high
Goodnight ladies, ladies goodnight

Oh, Im still missing my other half
Ah, it must be something I did in the past
Dont it just make you want to laugh
Its a lonely saturday night
Oh, nobody calls me on the telephone
I put another record on my stereo
But Im still singin a song of you
Its a lonely saturday night
Now if I was an actor or a dancer who is glamorous
Then you know an amorus life would soon be mine
But now the tinsil lighted starbreak is all thats left
To play my heartbreak
At eleven oclock I watch the network news
Oh, wow, wow, something tells me that youre nearly gone
You said we could be friends but thats not what I want
Ah, anyway my tv dinners almost done
Its a lonely saturday night
I mean to tell you its a lonely saturday night
One more round
