"There Goes My Babe"

The end has come
The sky has lost it's sun
The harm is done
He was the only one

There goes my babe
There goes what might have been
There goes my babe
In the cool morning rain
And now my heart
Lies empty and still again

If he were here
I'd long to hold him near
But now it's clear
The price of love is dear

There goes my babe
There goes what might have been
There goes my babe
In the cool morning rain
And now my heart
Lies empty and still again

"This Old House"

Midnight, that old clock
keeps ticking,
The kids are all asleep
and I'm walking the floor.
Darlin' I can see
that you're dreaming,
And I don't wanna wake you up
When I close the door.

This old house of ours
is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know
what that means.
There's a garden outside
she works in every day
And tomorrow morning
a man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away.

Lately, I've been thinking
'bout daddy,
And how he always
made things work,
when the chips were down,
And I know
I've got something inside me
There's always a light
there to guide me
To what can't be found.

This old house of ours
is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know
what that means.
There's a swing outside
the kids play on every day
And tomorrow morning
a man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away.

Take it all away,
take it all away,
take it all away.
Take it all away,
take it all away,
take it all away.

Remember how we first came
here together?
Standing on an empty lot,
holding hands.
Later, we came back
in the moonlight
And made love
right where the kitchen is,
Then we made our plans.

This old house of ours
is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know
what that means.
There's a garden outside
she works in every day
And tomorrow morning
a man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away.

Take it all away,
take it all away,
take it all away.
Take it all away,
take it all away,
take it all away.

"Till I Pass This Way Again"

Well, hello lonely woman
Won't you take a walk with me.
I know a place where we can go
Grab a bite to eat.

Hello lonely woman.
Are you feelin' all right?
Well, you look just like heaven
On a clear clear night.

Well, I know you're a lonely woman
And I know what's on your mind
I won't ask you any favors
I'm familiar with your kind.

I know you need me
Like a river needs rain
I won't ask you any favors
Until I pass this way again.

"Time Off For Good Behavior"

My brother went to prison
He's in Kingston doin' time
He got seven years for sellin'
What I've been smokin' all my life
Time off for good behavior
But the boy don't feel too good
Locked behind those steel bars
I don't know if he should

Yeh a few years ago they called me
Back home to get a big award
They also called my brother
But they made him say "My Lord"
They locked me up in a Hall of Fame
And threw away the keys
But when they put my brother away
It really did somethin' to me

Now I'm guilty as hell for sayin'
"Boy you better go back home"
You know you'll
get a fair shake there
We're running all alone
When he called me up
from the border
With the Mounties on his tail
I said go back to Canada
We can raise the bail

Now I get these letters
From a cell with no TV
He says he's outside one hour
And inside twenty three
Time off for good behavior
But the boy don't feel too good
Locked behind those steel bars
I don't know if he should

Now I'm guilty as hell for sayin'
"Boy you better go back home"
You know you'll
get a fair shake there
We're running all alone
When he called me up
from the border
With the Mounties on his tail
I said go back to Canada
We can raise the bail

My brother went to prison
He's in Kingston doin' time
He got seven years for sellin'
What I've been smokin' all my life

"Traces"

Believe me,
When I tell you
That a love true
Isn't hard to find.

'Cause I found mine
And she's so fine
Like a lifeline
From across the sea.

None of the neighbors
Remember names,
They only see the faces
With destinations still unnamed.
It's hard to leave the traces
For someone to follow.

"Turbine"

The summer ends and the winter winds
Begin to holler all around the bend.
We will smile and sail away
This won't be no sadness day
When the winter winds
greet the trees back there.

We can watch the turbine
turning in the wind
Up on the ridge line,
before the fog rolls in.
Falling leaves in the autumn air
People feeling good everywhere
When the winter winds greet
the trees back there.

We can watch the turbine
blowing in the wind
Up on the ridge line,
before the fog rolls in.
We will smile and sail away.
This won't be no sadness day
When the winter winds
greet the trees back there.

"Two Old Friends"

Preacher went up to the Golden Gate,
And met God there,
With the glow of love in his flowing hair.

I'm dreamin' of a time when love and music,
Is everywhere.
Can you see that time comin'?

No my son that time has gone,
There's things to do.
The world has changed since I first met you.

Back when The Band played Rock of Ages,
In their prime,
And the old juke joint was rockin'...

Oh Lord there's so much hate,
In a world where we're from another place.
Show me how to be like you.
See no evil, hear no evil,
Feel no evil in my heart.

In my heart, in my aching heart.
In my heart, in my heart,
In my old black heart.
In my heart, in my heart,
In my beating heart.

Sky had turned a lotta shades of gray,
As they walked on,
And a gentle rain fell down on them.

They found faith in the way things are and,
The way things change,
And they said goodbye like two old friends.

Take me up to the mountains high,
Or a building top where the spirits fly.
Show me how to be like you.
See no evil, feel no evil,
Fear no evil in my heart.

In my heart, in my aching heart.
In my heart, in my heart,
In my old black heart.
In my heart, in my heart,
In my beating heart.

Oh Lord there's so much hate,
In a world where we're from another place.
Show me how to live like you.
See no evil, hear no evil,
Feel no evil in my heart.

In my heart, in my aching heart.
In my heart, in my heart,
In my old black heart.
In my heart, in my heart,
In my beating heart.

"Walking After Midnight"

There's a face in the window
Lookin' back at me
There's a face in the window
I just can't see.
That face in the window
Keeps haunting me.

I went walking after midnight
Up and down the street
I went walking after midnight
Up and down the street
When I stopped for a smoke
I heard shuffling feet.

Well, I stopped for a smoke
What did I see?
A face in the filter
Lookin' back at me.

Ah, listen to me baby
Hear what I have to say.
Yeah, listen to me baby
Hear what I have to say.
These midnight blues
They won't go away
These midnight blues
Won't go away.

Yeah, I stopped for a smoke
What did I see?
A face in the filter
Lookin' back at me.

I'm walking after midnight
Well, I'm walking after midnight.

"War Song"

In the morning when you wake up
You've got planes flying in the sky
Flying bombs made to break up
All the lies in your eyes

There's a man says
he can put an end to war

They shot George Wallace down
He'll never walk around
Our mines are sleeping in the sea
Blow those bridges down
And burn that jungle down
And kill those Vietnamese

There's a man says
he can put an end to war

In the morning when you wake up
You've got planes flying in the sky
Flying bombs made to break up
All the lies in your eyes

There's a man says
he can put an end to war
