Don't let your mind get weary and confused
Your will be still, don't try
Don't let your heart get heavy, child
Inside you, there's a strength that lies
Don't let your soul get lonely, child
It's only time, it will go
Don't look for love in faces, places
It's in you, that's where you'll find
Kindness
Be here now, here now
Be here now, here now
Don't lose your faith in me
And I will try not to lose faith in you
Don't put your trust in walls
'Cause walls will only crush you when they fall
Be here now, here now
Be here now, here now
She lifts her skirt up to her knees
Walks through the garden rows
With her bare feet laughin'
I never learned to count my blessings
I choose instead to dwell in my disasters
I walk on down the hill
Through grass grown tall and brown and still
It's hard somehow to let go of my pain
On past the busted back of that old and rusted Cadillac
That sinks into this field collecting rain
Will I always feel this way?
So empty, so estranged?
Of these cut-throat busted sunsets
These cold and damp white mornings I have grown weary
If through my cracked and dusty dime store lips
I spoke these words out loud
Would no one hear me?
Lay your blouse across the chair
Let fall the flowers from your hair
And kiss me with that country mouth so plain
Outside the rain is tapping on the leaves
To me, it sounds like they're applauding us
The quiet love we've made
Will I always feel this way?
So empty, so estranged?
Well, I looked my demons in the eyes
Lay bare my chest, said, "Do your best to destroy me"
See, I've been to hell and back so many times
I must admit you kinda bore me
There's a lot of things that can kill a man
There's a lot of ways to die
Yes, and some already did and walk beside me
There's a lot of things I don't understand
But so many people lie
It's the hurt I hide that fuels the fire inside me
Will I always feel this way?
So empty, so estranged?
Barfly
Just a barfly, baby, uh huh
Barfly
Just a barfly, baby, uh huh
Kiss me before you go
I'm going low and lately
Barfly
A barfly, baby, uh huh
Barfly
Just a barfly, baby, uh huh
Slow down
Slow down, you're movin' too fast
Slow down
Slow down, you're movin' move too fast
Kiss me before you go
I'm going low and lately
Kiss me before you go
I'm going low and lately
I'm going nowhere
I'm going nowhere
I'm going nowhere
I'm going nowhere
I'm going nowhere
Three more days

Can I stay here with you til the morning
I am so far from home
And I feel a little stoned
Can I stay here till the morning
There’s nothing I want more than to wake up on your floor
Lay with me in your thinnest dress
Fill my heart with each caress
Between your blissful kisses
Whisper “darling is this love?”
Can I stay here with you till day breaks
There something you should know I ain't got no place to go
Can I stay here with you till the day breaks
How happy it would make me to see your face when I awake
Lay with me in your thinnest dress
Fill my heart with each caress
Between your blissful kisses
Whisper “darling is this love?”
Can I stay here with you through the night time
I’ve fallen sad inside
And I need a place to hide
Can I stay here with you through the nighttime
I’m all alone and blue
Won't you take me to your room
Lay with me in your thinnest dress
Fill my heart with each caress
Between your blissful kisses
Whisper “darling is this love?”
Whisper to me “is this love?”
My eyes are dry my hands are tied
There's nothing I can say
If you feel the need to go
I won't stand in your way
Sit and think drown and drink
Sing this sad sad song
You can bring me flowers baby
When I'm dead and gone
Fate has played his hand is cruel
There ain't nothing I can do
You say you lost your love for me
Me my love for you
Sit and cry say goodbye
Sing this sad sad song
You can bring me flowers baby
When I'm dead and gone
So when you're lying in his arms
Think of me and go
The choice you made ain't free and clear
Costs me a heavy toll
Sit and think drown and drink
Sing this sad sad song
You can bring me flowers baby
When I'm dead and gone
For a while
I sat there staring at the photograph
For a while
I cried and tried not to make a scene
There was a time,
When we were young
I used to make her laugh
But life is long,
My love has gone away from me
Gone away from me
Gone away from me
Life is long
My love has gone away from me
Gone away from me
Gone away from me
Life is long
My love has gone away from me
Lately I can't seem to find
myself no sleep at all
Lately I just lie awake
here and dream
Of the time when she was mine
Felt like I had it all
But life is long,
My love has gone away from me
Gone away from me
Gone away from me
Life is long
My love has gone away from me
Gone away from me
Gone away from me
Life is long
My love has gone away from me
Yesterday is gone
Yesterday is dead
Get it through your head
And walk away
Yesterday is gone
Ain't no use hanging on
To a memory that only causes you pain
For a while
I sat there staring at the photograph
For a while
I cried and tried not to make a scene
There was a time,
When we were young
I used to make her laugh
But life is long,
My love has gone away from me
Gone away from me
Gone away from me
Life is long
My love has gone away from me
Gone away from me
Gone away from me
Life is long
My love has gone away from me
Well the truth it fell so heavy
Like a hammer through the room
That I could choose another over her
You always said I was an actor, baby
Guess in truth you thought me just amateur
That you never saw the signs
That you never lost your grip
Oh come on now
That's such a childish claim
Now I wear the brand of traitor
Don't it seem a bit absurd
When it's clear I was so obviously framed
When it's clear I was so obviously framed
Now you act so surprised
To hear what you already know
And all you really had to do was ask
I'd have told you straight away
All those lies were truth
And all that was false was fact
Now you hold me close and hard
But I was like a statue at most
Refusing to acknowledge you'd been hurt
Now you're clawing at my throat
And you're crying all is lost
But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt
But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt
Well the truth it fell so heavy
Like a hammer through the room
That I could choose another over her
You always said I was an actor, baby
Guess in truth you thought me just amateur
Was it you who told me once
Now looking back it seems so real
That all our mistakes are merely grist for the mill
So why is it now after I had my fill
That you steal from me the sorrow that I've earned
Shall we call this a lesson learned?
Shall we call this a lesson learned?
Instrumental Only
Can you see the young and pretty
Confident as cops
Blooming laughing in the shops
Till the sun turns black
Can you see the old and lonely
Walking through the park
Pushing grocery carts
Till the sun turns black
Can you see the corporate man
He's winning on the telephone
His possessions are his throne
Till the sun turns black
Can you see him in his lounger
Watching tv in the dark
Waiting for the spark
Till the sun turns black
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooo ooh wee ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooo ooh wee who are --
Can you see the working classes
Trudging through their days
Time goes slowly when you're only waiting
Till the sun turns black
Can you see the wise man simply
Living loving quietly
Every breath he takes eternity
Till the sun turns black
War is not the answer
The answer is within you
War is not the answer
The answer is within you
Love, love
Love, love
War is not the answer
The answer is within you
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
Love
