Tapestry

Carole King Tapestry Lyrics
1.Tapestry

My life has been a Tapestry of rich and royal hue.
An everlasting vision of an everchanging view.
A wondrous, woven magic in bits of blue and gold
A tapestry to feel and see, Impossible to hold.

Once amid the soft silver sadness in the sky
There came a man of fortune, a drifter passing by.
He wore a torn and tattered cloth around his leathered hide
A coat of many colors, Yellow-green on either side.

He moved with some uncertainty as if he didn't know,
just what he was there for or where he ought to go.
Once he reached for something golden hanging from a tree
And his hand came down empty.

Soon within my tapestry along the rutted road,
He sat down on a river rock and turned into a toad.
It seemed that he had fallen into someone's wicked spell
And I wept to see him suffer though I didn't know him well.

As I watched in sorrow,there suddenly appeared
a figure gray and ghostly beneath a flowing beard
In times of deepest darkness, I've seen him dressed in black
Now my tapestry's unravelling,He's come to take me back.
He's come to take me back.


2.Beautiful

You've got to get up every morning With a smile in your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
The people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes you will
That you're beatiful as you feel
Waiting at the station with a workday wind a-blowing
I've got nothing to do but watch the passers-by
Mirrored in their faces I see frustration growing
And they don't see it showing, why do I?
You've got to get up every morning With a smile in your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
The people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes you will
That you're beatiful as you feel
I have often asked myself for reason for sadness
In a world where tears are just a lullabye
If there's any answer, maybe love can end the madness
Maybe not, oh, but we can only try
You've got to get up every morning With a smile in your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
The people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes you will
That you're beatiful as you feel


3.Home Again

Somethimes I wonder if I'm ever gonna make it home again
It's so far and so sight
I really need someone to talk to, and nobody else
Knows how to comfort me tonight
Snow is cold, rain is wet
Chills my soul right to the marrow
I won't be happy till I see you alone
Till I'm home again and feeling right


4.I Feel The Earth Move

(CHORUS:)
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around
Oh baby When I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh darling I cant stand it
When you look at me that way
(chorus)
Oh darling When Im near you
And you tenderly call my name
I know that, My emotions
Are something I just cant explain
Ive just got to have you baby
Ooh yeah, ooh ooh yeah yeah
(chorus)


5.It's Too Late

featuring DINA CARROLL
Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here
There can be no denying
One of us is changing
Or maybe we've just stopped trying
And it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy
And I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy
And I feel like a fool
And it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died
and I can't hide it
And I just can't fake it
There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together
Don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had
And how I once loved you
And it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and
I can't hide it I just can't fake it
Don't you know that I...
I just can't fake it
Oh it's too late my baby
Too late my baby
You know
It's too late my baby


6.Smackwater Jack

Smackwater Jack he bought a shotgun
Cause he was in the mood of a little confrontation
He just let it all hang loose
He didn't think about the noose
He couldn't take no more abuse,
So he shot down the congregation
You can't talk to a man with a shotgun in his hand
Big Jim the Chief stood for law and order
He called for the guard to come and surround the border
Now fron his bulldog mouth
As he led the posse south
Came the cry 'We got to ride to clean up the street
For our wives and our daughters!'
You can't talk to a man when he don't want to understand
The account of the capture wasn't in the papers
But you know, they hanged ole Smack right then (instead of
later)
You know, the people where quite pleased
Cause the outlaw had been sized
And on the whole, it was a very good year for the undertaker
You can't talk to a man with a shotgun in his hand


7.Way Over Yonder

Way over yonder is a place that I know
Where I can find shelter from huger and cold
And the sweet tasting good life is easily found
Way over yonder - that's where I'm bound
I know when I get there, the first thing I'll see
Is the sun shining golden - shining rigth down on me
Then trouble's gonna lose me - worry leave me behind
And I'll stand up proudly in true peace of mind
Way over yonder is a place I have seen
In a garden of widsom from some long ago dream
May be tomorrow I'll find my way
To the land where the honey runs in rivers each day
And the sweet tastinggood life is so easily found
Way over yonder - that's where I'm bound
Way over yonder - that's where I'm bound


8.Where You Lead

Wanting you tha way I do
I only want to be with you
And I would go to the ends of the earth
Cause, darling, to me that's you're worth
Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead
If you're out on the road
Feeling lonely, and so cold
All you have to do is call my name
And I'll be there in the next train
Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead
I always wanted a real home with flowers on the window sill
But if you want to live in New York city, honey, you know I will
I never thought I could get satisfaction from just one man
But if anyone can keep me happy, you're the one who can
And where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead


9.Will You Love Me Tomorrow?

Tonight you're mine, completely
You give your soul so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Can I believe the magic in your sights
And will you love me tomorrow
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun
I'd like to know if your love
Is a love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow


10.You've Got A Friend

Lyrics:Carole King
Music:Carole King
Arranger:Carole King

When you're down and trubled
And you need some love and care
And nothin', no nothin' is goin' right
Just close your eyes and think of me
And soon i'll be there to brighten up
Yeah, even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know, wherever i am
I'll come a-runnin'
To see you again
Chorus :
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And i'll be there, yeah i will
You've got a freind

When the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind
He begins to blow
Here's what you do baby
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
And soon you'll hear me
Knockin' at your door
Oh yes i will, yes i will
You just call out my name
And you know, wherever i am
I'll come a-runnin'
To see you again

Chorus

Ain't it good to know
That you've got a freind
People can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, don't let them

Chorus :
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And i'll be there, yes i will

You've got a freind, yes you do
You've got a freind, yes you do
Right till the end, for you
Ain't it good to know


11.CAROLE KING

YOU SO FAR AWAY
DOES ANYBONDY STAYS IN ONE PLACE ANYMORE
IT WILL BE FANTASY TO FACE AT MY DOOR
DOESN'T HELP TO KNOW, YOU ARE JUST TIME AWAY
LONG AGO I REACH FOR YOU THERE YOU STOOD
HOLDING YOU AGAIN COUDL ONLY DO ME GOOD
HOW I WISH I COULD BUT YOU SO FAR WAY

ONE MORE SONG ABOUT MOVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY
CAN'T SAID MUCH OF ANYTHING THAT'S NEW
IF I COULD ONLY WORK THIS LIKE AT MY WAY
I'D GLAD TO SPEND IT BEING CLOSE TO YOU
BUT YOU SO FAR WAY.
DOES ANYBODY STAYING ONE PLACE ANYMORE
IT WOULD BE SO FANTASY YOU FACE AT MY DOOR
DOESN'T HELP TO KNOW, YOU ARE SO FAR WAY.
YEAH YOU ARE FAR AWAY

DRIVING ALONG TO GET YOU DOWN AND LONELY ?
NOTHING ELSE TO DO BUT CLOSE MY MIND
I SHOW HOW TO ROUGH OUT BUT DON'T COME TO OWN ME
THERE ARE SO MANY DREAMS
I YET TO FIND
BUT YOU ARE SO FAR WAY .
