Blue

The Thunder Rolls
Brooks Garth



Three thirty in the morning
Not a soul insight
The city's lookin' like a ghost town
On a moonless summer night
Raindrops on the windshield
There's a storm moving in
He's headin' back from somewhere
That he never should have been
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

Every light is burnin'
In a house across town
She's pacin' by the telephone
In her faded flannel gown
Askin' for miracle
Hopin' she's not right
Prayin' it's the weather
That's kept him out all night
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls
And the lightnin' strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls

She's waitin' by the window
When he pulls into the drive
She rushes out to hold him
Thankful he's alive
But on the wind and rain
A strange new perfume blows
And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes
And he knows that she knows
And the thunder rolls
And he thunder rolls

The thunder rolls

And the lightnin' strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls

She runs back down the hallway
To the bedroom door
She reaches for the pistol
Kept in the dresser drawer
Tells the lady in the mirror
He won't do this again
Cause tonight will be the last time
She'll wonder where he's been
 
Harry Chapin Sunday Morning Sunshine lyrics Harry Chapin Sunday Morning Sunshine lyrics


I came into town with a knapsack on my shoulder
And a pocket full of stories that I just had to tell.
You know I've knocked around a bit,
I've had my share of small town glories,
And it's time to hit the city and that crazy carousel.
I been feeling sorry for myself,
But you know I was only lonely,
Like everybody else.
Until...
You brought your Sunday morning sunshine
Here into my Monday morning rain.
You taught me happiness just one time,
It keeps on coming back again.
These streets were never highways
For I had not known the sky above.
These days were never my days
For I had not known your love.
It's funny how a city can put on a different face,
When it holds the one you care for
It becomes a different place.
And I never felt so far from alone.
Baby you brought me halfway home.
Yes, baby, you brought me halfway home.

Harry Chapin Winter Song lyrics

When the summer fled past my window
and autumn's chill was in the air
there was a special kind of lonesome
'round that ending time of year.
When the leaves fell
and they drifted 'neath the trees that soon were bare
I felt that wind blow,
ever colder,
and suddenly,
you were there.
We laughed and scuffled
while the snow fell
and the cold gave your cheecks a glow.
And in your arms come evening
a kind of peace I know.
Often I'd wake at midnight
mid some icy winter storm,
and then I would find you
beside me,
and you made the night seem so warm.
Now I go my way
and you go your way
now that the winter's come and gone.
But somehow
with the springtime
your golden warmth still lingers on.

THE TRAVELING WILBURYS LYRICS


"If You Belonged To Me"




Waltzing round the room tonight
In someone else's clothes
You're always coming out of things
Smelling like a rose
You hang your head and your heart is filled with so much misery
You'd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me

You say let's go to the rodeo
And see some cowboy fall
Sometimes it seems to me you've
Got no sympathy at all
You keep on going on and on about how you're so free
You'd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me

It ain't easy to get to you
But there must be some kind of a way
If only two could look to you
For only one moment of each day


You're saying that you're all washed up
Got nothing else to give
Seems like you never figured out
How long you have to live
You could feel like a baby again sitting on your daddy's knee
Oh how happy you would be
If you belonged to me

The guy your with is a ruthless pimp
Everybody knows
Every cent he takes from you
Goes straight up his nose
You look so sad, you're going so mad, any fool can see
You'd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me

You'd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me

A GROOVY KIND OF LOVE Lyrics
~PHIL COLLINS



When I'm feeling blue,
All I have to do
Is take a look at you,
Then I'm not so blue
When you're close to me,
I can feel your heart beat
I can hear you breathing in my ear

Wouldn't you agree,
Baby you and me,
We've got a groovy
Kind of love

Any time you want to,
You can turn me on to
Anything you want to,
Any time at all
When I kiss your lips,
Ooh I start to shiver
Can't control the quivering inside

Wouldn't you agree,
Baby you and me,
We've got a groovy
Kind of love, oho

When I'm feeling blue,
All I have to do
Is take a look at you,
Then I'm not so blue
When I'm in your arms,
Nothing seems to matter
My whole world could shatter,
I don't care

Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me,
We've got a groovy
Kind of love
We've got a groovy kind of love,
We've got a groovy kind of love
Oh, we've got a groovy kind of love

ONE MORE NIGHT Lyrics
PHIL COLLINS



One more night, one more night
I've been trying ooh so long
To let you know
Let you know how I feel
And if I stumble if I fall,
Just help me back
So I can make you see

Please give me one more night,
Give me one more night
One more night cos

I can't wait forever

I've been sitting here so long
Wasting time, just staring at the phone
And I was wondering should I call you
Then I thought maybe you're not alone

Like a river to the sea
I will always be with you
And if you sail away
I will follow you

:rose:

Many few more nights.....
 
I thought about you...great song


I took a trip on a train, and I thought about you.
I passed a shadowy lane, and I thought about you.
Two or three cars parked under the stars, a windin' stream.
Moon shining down on some little town
And with each beam, the same old dream.

And every stop that we made, oh I thought about you.
And when I pulled down the shade, then I really felt blue.
I peaked through the crack and looked at the track,
The one goin' back to you, and what did I do?
I thought about you.

(Musical interlude)

There were two or three cars parked under the stars, a windin' stream.
Moon shining down on some little town
And with each beam, the same old dream.

(Musical interlude)

And then I peaked through the crack and I looked at that track,
The one goin' back to you, and what did I do?
I thought about you.

I really am in love and how.

I'm through playin with fire.

It's you whom I desire.

All the world can plainly see.

You're the only one for me.

They can not break up our romance.

I'm livin up to all my vows.

'Cause I'm keepin' out of mischief now.

Song: Got Love If You Want It Lyrics


Got love if you want it, baby
Got love if you want it
Got love if you want it
Got love if you want it
Now, can we talk awhile?

Now here you come, baby
Now here you come, baby
With your head hung down
With your head hung down
I know you've been ballin'
Talk is all over town

'Cause the nextdoor neighbors
'Cause the next door neighbors
Peepin' through the blinds
Peepin' through the blinds
Don't worry nobody
That's all this time

Now I love you, little baby
Said I love you, little baby
Better than myself, yeah
Better than myself
But you mistreat me baby
For somebody else
For somebody else

Come sit by me, baby
Come sit by me, baby
I wanna talk with you
Wanna talk with you
Don't mean no harm, baby
Won't tell ya what to do
Won't tell ya what to do
Won't tell ya what to do
Won't tell ya what to do

Dimming Of The Day lyric



This old house is falling down around my ears

I'm drowning in a river of my tears

When all my will is gone you hold me sway

I need you at the dimming of the day

You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide

You know just where I keep my better side

What days have come to keep us far apart

A broken promise or a broken heart

Now all the bonnie birds have wheeled away

I need you at the dimming of the day

Come the night you're only what I want

Come the night you could be my confident

I see you on the street in company

Why don't you come and ease your mind with me

I'm living for the night we steal away

I need you at the dimming of the day

I need you at the dimming of the day

A Blues song from Bessie Smith

You've Got To Give Me Some
Written by S. Williams and recorded by Bessie Smith in 1929.


Loving is the thing I crave
For your love I'll be your slave
You gotta give me some, yes give me some
Can't you hear me pleading, you gotta give me some

Said mister Jones to old butcher Pete,
I want a piece of your good old meat
You gotta give me some, oh give me some
I crave your round steak, you gotta give me some

Sweet as candy in a candy shop
Is just your sweet sweet lollypop
You gotta give me some, please give me some
I love all day suckers, you gotta give me some

To the milkman I heard Mary scream
Said she wanted a lots of cream
You gotta give me some, oh give me some
Catch it when you come sir, you gotta give me some

Hear my cryin' on my bended knees
If you wanna put my soul at ease
You gotta give me some, please give me some
Can't stand it any longer, you gotta give me some

Seeper called to Pele-Mele, sugar lump
Said I'm going crazy about your hump
You've got to give me some, please give me some
I can't wait eight days, you gotta give me some

Jaybird said to the peckerwood,
I like to peck like a pecker should
But give me some, yes give me some
I'm crazy about them worms, you've gotta give me some

Novacaine For The Soul


Life is hard
And so am I
You'd better give me something
So I don't die
Novocaine for the soul
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out
Life is white
And I am black
Jesus and his lawyer
Are coming back
Oh my darling
Will you be here
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out
Guess who's living here with the great undead
This paint by numbers life is fucking with my head, once again
Life is good
And I feel great
Cuz mother says I was
A great mistake
Novocaine for the soul
You'd better give me something to fill the hole
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out

All My Life


All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around then it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
The feeling comes to life when I see your ghost

Come down don't you resist
You have such a delicate wrist
And if I give it a twist
Something to hold when I lose my grip
Will I find something in that
So give me just what I need
Another reason to bleed
ONE BY ONE hidden up my sleeve
ONE BY ONE hidden up my sleeve

Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down

Will I find a believer
Another one who believes
Another one to deceive
Over and over down on my knees
If I get any closer
And if you open up wide
And if you let me inside
On and on I've got nothing to hide
On and on I've got nothing to hide

Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down

All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around then it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
The feeling comes to life when I see your ghost

And I'm done, done and I'm under the next one

Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down

Done done and under the next one
Done I'm done and I'm under the next

When I Look to the Sky ~ Train

When it rains it pours and opens doors
And floods the floors we thought would always keep us safe and dry
And in the midst of sailing ships we sink our lips into the ones we love
That have to say goodbye

And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that won't seem to let me go

Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here

And every word I didn't say that caught up in some busy day
And every dance on the kitchen floor we didn't dance before
And every sunset that we'll miss I'll wrap them all up in a kiss
And pick you up in all of this when I sail away

Whether I am up or down or in or out or just plane overhead
Instead it just feels like it is impossible to fly
But with you I can spread my wings
to see me over everything that life may send me
When I am hoping it won't pass me by

And when I feel like there is no one that will ever know me
there you are to show me

Kitchen Man

I've been trying to find on-line the lyrics to Bessie Smith's great blues song, "Kitchen Man," which is just as bawdy--if not more so--than "You've Got to Give Me Some"

The last photo you posted--the blue 'sit-up' picture--was so cool and beautiful thanks. I didn't think the photos in your AV could get any more alluring, but your last selection made that happen. Thanks.
 
Beatles - Herere & Everywhere Lyrics


To lead a better life I need my home to be here...

Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with the wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there?s something there

There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speking but she doesn?t know he?s there

I want her everywhere and if she?s beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share

Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I?m always there

I want her everywhere and if she?s beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share

Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I?m always there

To be there and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere

Beatles - Tax Man Lyrics



Let me tell you how it will be
Thereճ one for you, nin'teen for me

Cause I'm the tax man
Yea I'm the tax man

Should five percent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all

Cause I'm the tax man
Yea I'm the tax man

If you drive a car-car I'll tax the street
If you try to sit-sit I'll tax your seat
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat
If you take a walk I'll tax your feet
Tax man

Well I'm the tax man
Yea I'm the tax man

Don't ask me what I want it for
If you don't want to pay some more

Cause I'm the tax man
Yea I'm the tax man

Now my advice for those who die (tax man)
Declare the pennies on your eyes (tax man)

Cause I'm the tax man
Yea I'm the tax man

And you're working for no one but me
(Tax man)

:D
 
The Beatles
Title: Eleanor Rigby
Album: Revolver



Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong ?

Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near.
Look at him working. Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care ?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong ?

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong ?

Beatles - She Said She Said Lyrics


She said I know what it's like to be dead
I know what it is to be sad
And she's making me feel like I've never been born.

I said "Who put all those things in your hair
Things that ake me feel that I'm mad
And you're making me feel like I've never been born."

She said "you don't understand what I said"
I said "No, no, no, you're wrong"
When I was a boy everything was right
Everything was right

I said "Even though you know what you know
I know that I'm ready to leave
'Cause you're making me feel like I've never been born."

She said "you don't understand what I said"
I said "No, no, no, you're wrong"
When I was a boy everything was right
Everything was right

I said "Even though you know what you know
I know that I'm ready to leave
'Cause you're making me feel like I've never been born."

She said I know what it's like to be dead
I know what it is to be sad...

Yesterday Lyrics
Artist(Band):The Beatles



Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm.
