dad-d-o

Everytime I go out
searching for light
Everytime I wonder where you are
the mystery of life
the passion deep inside
the wonder of it all

How can I forget about
the silver blu lining
you’re the chosen lover

Used to be sunlight
distract my heart
I’d lay there
and think about nothing for hours
but everywhere I go
nothing here but snow
baby since you’ve gone
I’m just a liar
liar
liar

And I won’t let it be forgotten
no I will never let it go
baby I won’t be alone
no I will never let it go
baby deep inside
you know
you can hide
but you won’t ever
be forgotten

You sheltered me from harm
kept me warm you kept me warm
you gave my life to me
set me free
set me free

Chorus:

The finest years I ever knew
were all the years I spent with you
but I would give everything I own
give up my life my heart my name
I would give everything I own
just to have you back again

You taught me how to love
Whats it does what its of
you never said too much
but still you showed the way
and I knew
from watching you

Nobody else could ever know
Chorus
the part of me that won’t let go

Is there someone you know
you’re loving them so
but you’re takin’ them all
you’re takin’ them all for granted
you may loose them one day
someone takes them away
and they don’t hear the words
you long to say

It’s a matter of time
till we face all the reckoning here

I keep wondering why
the world’s in such a state

How’d it get this way
The earth’s a very beautiful place
and all the trees in the forest there
are calling out, calling out
hey human race

So we’re loosing the air
so we’re loosing our minds
won’t you stop take a look
at us now
It’s a strange place outside

Well we’re all the only one
(you’re the only one)
and I won’t be the last
too say to you
I told you so
cause baby you’re forgiven
for the only way is love
it’s a state of the heart

So what can one say
to express the relationship here
well there’s always tomorrow you know
so tell the child today

Standing where you are
does it seem the whole world
is turning round and round again
never fair and forgetting

That only you can know
what every man is wondering
is wondering deep in his heart
is there life after art

Well could it be that you
were the one they wrote about
if happiness is what you seek
then baby you’re the one for me
won’t you take a piece of my heart

Woe this is heaven once again
this is all I know
Woe this is heaven after all
again and again

Well standing where you are does it seem the whole world
is turning round and round
and round and round

If happiness is what you seek
then baby you’re the one for me
won’t you take a piece of my heart

Jesus drove a fast car
lived in Boston by the open sea
he headed out for New York on the I-90
and deep in his heart
he was sure he find the answer there
in the mighty towers and the
caverns built of steel
cause he was lost in the world

Forty days he spent his nights
in the desert of himself
wondering how he’d fare in Ohio
but everywhere he went
he’d sow a seed of discontent
how could he ever give away
what he’d never known

Cause he was lost in the world
for he never really knew
that you won’t ever ever
be forsaken you will
always be everything

In every man a heart of gold
a voice of hope
a lost apostle
in every one a dream for
you and me
and here is the moral
you’ll never find yourself
yearning for the things that
man has made

For we are lost in the world
cause we
never really knew
that you won’t ever
ever be forgotten you
will always be everything
no you won’t ever ever
be forsaken you will
always be everything
everything to me

You say that you’re leaving again
someday you’ll be the end of me
one day you’re heaven
the next you’re gone
will you ever find
your place in time
oh baby
I know where you are
when you lay your head at night
I feel you breathing now
I feel you
you can’t escape
the way I lie

cause I know all about
I know all about
I know you very well

Anything black she says is cool
as I watch the smoke rise
from her Marlboro world
and I say baby there’s nothing like
makin’ love with you
I could be lonely but I’d be a fool
just to let you go and chase
your world
cause baby I will be here
waiting for you
wait for me

cause I know all about
I know all about
I know you very well

Driving with the rhythm in the rain
nothing ever ever stays the same
La di da di dee
la di da di dah
la di da di dah
feel the ocean of the
universal sway
feel the changes to come
nothing left changes to come
nothing left but dancing
in the pouring rain
there’s a lonliness that I have known

There’s a beat of love
there’s a beat of love
in your heart
there’s a beat of love in your heart and
it just keeps on pounding
cause the beat goes on
the beat goes on
beat goes on

Take you dancing in the lonliness and pain
I can feel the world turning round
nothing really matters together we should stay
there’s a lonliness I have found

Driving with the rhythm in the rain
nothing ever ever stays the same
la di dah di dee
la di dah di dah la di day
beat goes on, beat goes on
beat goes on. beat goes on

I keep driving with my
baby in the rain
in the rain
keep on driving
with my baby
in the rain

I sit alone
and wonder where you are
sentenced and tried
I feel remorse
and something to deny
this is a place
a place called love
woe where d’you go
woe why

and you lay
and ask us where you are
how can I offer you anything
if love is least of all

All I ever offer you is
little pieces of my heart
I lay it out before you
so solemn my demise

Woe where d’you go
woe why why why

Howling bone and laughter
hardly ever after
wonder where you are
kisses fall like rain
but never seem to grow a thing

Woe where d’you go
woe why why why

Hey have you ever tried
really reaching out for the other side
I maybe climbing on rainbows
but baby here goes

Dreams are for those who sleep
life is for us to keep
and if you’re wondering
what this song is leading to
I want to make it with you
I really think that we
could make it girl

Though you don’t know me well
and every little thing only
time will tell
but you believe the things that I do
and we’ll see it through

Life can be short or long
love an be right or wrong
and if I choose the one I’d
like to help me through
I want to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl

Baby you know that
dreams are for those who sleep
life is for us to keep
and if I chose the one I’d
like to help me through

I want to make it with you

…and in the comings and goings of men
In everything we do
There are moments we remember
and at times I go there…

I could lie here all day
feel the sun in my hair
the wind at my back and you
I want to wander alone
remember now
remember

If I could talk to you
I’d tell you this time
what you meant to me
and where d’you go

If I could speak to you now
I’d tell you somehow
and wonder again
now I just remember

I could lie here all day
feel the wind at my back
the sun in my hair and you
I want to remember love
remember now remember

I could lie here
lie here
lie here

Feel the sun in my hair
feel the wind at my back
and I think of you
and I remember
remember
remember

I know you’ve come a long long way
I know you’ve got a lot to go
but maybe in your heart
maybe in the dark
you’ll find it this time

I know you’ve got a lot to learn
I know you’ve got a place to hide
Some call it love
some call it life
some just keep on callin’

And here you are
and there I am waiting
we had things and places
we wanted to do
but here we are
so here we are

So there you go
So there you go

And though you’ve come
this long long way
to get where you are
again this time
and you can tell the
world about it
as it slips away

So the you go
and the world just
keeps on turning

So there you go
So there you go…

…These are the rights of the individual no longer can even the most common of men stand by and tolerate injustice or tolerate oppression or accept the fact that there is nothing that can be done. For it begins with the individual, it begins in our schools, our homes. Each of us responsible, each of us equal, deserving the right to choice, the right of every soul on the planet. For surely we are children of a forsaken time. I will not distance my self from the iniquities I have witnessed. Stand by, complacent like a fatted cow. There is no excuse for war, it is at the root of our baseness. The soul’s right to be. The individual’s choice of freedom as its zenith is inevitable. It is surely God’s will that each man has the choice to live free, to walk his own path free respecting each other, free.

Freedom on everybodys tongue
Freedom its number one
Freedom for you and me
Freedom oh can’t you see
Cause love is all I have to give
and that is what it takes
open up your heart and maybe love with take control
so there you go, huh
well what do you know

Freedoms on everybody’s tounge
Freedom its number one
Freedom well sing it to the trees
Freedom for you and me

‘Cause there are places in my heart
where love has never been
and into it comes suffering
so it can surely be
so there you go
Heaven is the place within you

Freedoms on everybody’s tongue
Freedom its number one
Freedom for the mother of men
Freedom too much time on her hands

‘Cause there are places in her heart
here love has never been
and into it goes suffering
so they can surely be
so there you go
Heaven is a place within you

There is a great lesson here, a place in the heart that does not exist give it the freedom to understand love to seek it freely for all men deserve to be free.

Freedom for the fat man
Freedom for the black man
Freedom for you and me
Freedom oh can’t you see

For there are places in our hearts
where love has never been
And into it goes suffering
so they can surely be
So there you go
Heaven is a place within you
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom

cause now with you there’s history
deep in my hands
well I reach for your touch
standing in the rain with
your lips so hot
I could hardly ever be
the same again
ooooh yea
sex with you
sex with you

Well do you like cold love
like you’ve lost your soul
and you want to be together
just to hold you in your dreams
well almost feel your heartbeat
my tongue lays over all over you
all of you
you cry to come
you die to come
you cry to come
oh baby you die to come
sex with you
sex with you
sex with you…
