1.Blue Train
Another day is ending
And i remember when
My world, came falling down
Out there the stars stop dancing
Lost in my darkness now
The rain, keeps falling down
Light of my life, where have you gone
Love's true flame dies, without the warmth of your sun
Ah - ah - ah - ah - ah - ah
Here comes the blue train rollin'
Across my heart it crawls
The rain still pouring down
Another day escapes me
A little later maybe
Love will roll around
Light of my life, where have you gone
Love's true flame dies, without the warmth of your sun
I've been waiting on a corner
Yeah, i've been waiting for a sign
Ohhh, i've been waiting on the corner
I've been waiting for a sign now, oh now
Light of my life, where have you gone
Love's true flame dies, without the warmth of your sun
Whistle blowin', blue train rollin', carry my heart, my soul
Whistle blowin', blue train rollin', carry my darling son
Whistle blowin', blue train rollin', carry my heart
I've been waiting on a corner
I've been waiting for a sign now
Ohh, i've been waiting on the corner
I've been waiting for a sign, now, oh oh, ooh
Whistle blowin', blue train rollin'
Carry my heart now, oh yeah, ohhh
I've been waiting on a corner
I've been waiting for a sign
Hear the blue train, hear the blue train, ohh
It's the blue train rolling
2.Burning Up
My mind is cracked, i stand alone
And my way is dark as night
Back on the hill, the wind it moans
And big black clouds fly by
The rain fell down, it drowned my heart
It raged inside my soul
The pain that tore the skies apart
The twisted night unfolds
Oh, i'm burning up
Oh, i'm burning up
Ooh, i'm burning up
Oh oh oh
This lovely road that i must walk
All these tears that burn my eyes
In emptiness, my torment roars
In my silent loveless life
Oh oh,i'm burning up
Ah, i'm burning up
Ah, i'm burning up
Ohhh
Oh oh, can you hear me, hear me calling
Across a thousand years
Oh! oh! would you love me, if i die die
A thousand times
Like a volcano
Oh, i'm burning up
Like a volcano
I'm burning up
Like a volcano
Oh, i'm burning up
Like a volcano
Yeah, i'm burning up
Like a volcano
Like a volcano
Oh oh oh, no yeah
Like a volcano
No yeah no yeah
Like a volcano
Like a volcano
Burn burn burn burn burn
Like a volcano
Burn burn burn, ohhh
3.Heart In Your Hand
Do you gather flowers for me
Moving softly through the trees
With the scent against your arms
Long ago i knew your charms
As i walk through the purple hills of
Soon forgotten
Know that my heart was in your hand
And my heart was in your hand
Do your lips still call my name
Would your mouth still taste the same
There i learned the sweetest words
Oh! what price of mercy
Yeah, though i steal all across the years
The memory lingers on
With my heart in your hand
Oh, my heart in your hand
Should i fall beside the road
Everlasting wandering soul
And the memory sublime
And my heart was there
Yeah, as i walk through the purple hills of
Long ago
I know my heart was in your hand
Oh, my heart was in your hand
My heart is in your hand
Oh, my heart
4.House Of Love
Oh, speak to me, tell me the truth
Why don't you let me know
Oh, throw me the key, i'm locking it up
I think it's time to go
Oh when i think about it now
We built a house of love somehow
Oh, talk to me, you're packing your clothes
You leave me walking the floor
Oh, feels strange to me, i'm losing control
I can't feel you anymore, ooh ooh
Oh when i think about it now
We built a house of love somehow
It hurts a little too much
It hurts a little too much
Oh my crazy arms, so empty now
So cold like dying snow
Mmm, remember me, i can't forget
You touched my very soul
Oh when i think about it now
We built a house of love somehow
A little too much
It hurts a little too much
It hurts a little too much
It hurts a little too much, ah-ah-ah
You know you hurt me girl
You know you really really do now
You know you hurt me child
You know you really really do now
But things get better baby
When i was born i was running
Yeah, just-a running so hard now
But things get much better baby
But things get so hard, so hard, so hard
Ah, keep a-running, keep a-running
Things get better baby
Oh my crazy arms, so empty now
So cold like dying snow
Oh, remember me, i can't forget
You touched my very soul
Oh when i think about it now
We built a house of love somehow
Just a little too much
Oh a little too much
Just a little too much
It's just a little too much
Oh, come on, keep on, keep on
Come on come on come on
5.Most High
Who guards the truth
Oh lord most high
A frightened dove in a starless sky, oh-oh, oh oh oh
So high, most high, so high
Who hides the east from the blind man's eye
In the land of peace
Where the righteous cry, oh-oh, oh oh oh
So high, most high, so high
Where are the words of the king
Who moves the stars and then the sun
To the light where my spirit was born
Bring this wanderer home
While mercy sleeps in the hearts of liars
And the olive tree is consumed by fire, oh-oh, oh oh oh
So high, most high, so high
Where are the words of the king
Who moves the stars and then the sun
To the light where my spirit was born
Bring this wanderer home, come on, come on, come on
When david's seed talks
Through his paper crown
And he spits hot steel
See all the kids fall down
Ohhh yeah, mmm
So high, most high, so high, oh oh yeah
Oh oh
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Better hurry, hurry
Better hurry, hurry
Better hurry, hurry
Most high, most high high high
Most high, so high, so high
So high
6.Please Read The Letter
Caught out running
With just a little too much to hide
Maybe baby
Everything's gonna work out fine
Please read the letter
I pinned it to your door
It's crazy how it all turned out
We needed so much more
Too late, too late
A fool could read the signs
Maybe baby
You'd better check between the lines
Please read the letter, i wrote it in my sleep
With help and consultation from
The angels of the deep
Once i stood beside a well of many words
My house was full of rings and
Charms and pretty birds
Please understand me, my walls come falling down
There's nothing here that's left for you
But check with lost and found
Please read the letter that i wrote
Please read the letter that i wrote
One more song just before we go
Remember baby
All the things
We used to know
Please read my letter
And promise you'll keep
The secrets and the memories and
Cherish in the deep
Ah -
Please read the letter that i wrote
Please read the letter that i wrote
Please read the letter that i wrote
Please read the letter that i wrote
Please read the letter that i wrote
Please read the letter that i wrote
7.Shining In The Light
Big boat stealing through the darkness
Will you bring me to my love
Will you bring me to my only love
In the night the light of oneness
And the one light guides you home
And the keeper turns his cards alone
From this shore my memory wanders
And i dance upon the sea
Can i dance with you upon the sea
Oh, i love your brown-eyed madness
And your beauty was exposed
Now your memory's clinging to my clothes
Shining in the light
Shining in the light
Shining in the light
Shining in the light
Shining in the light
Shining in the light
Shining in the light
Shining in the light
Ho ho
Hooohooo
Ohh hoohh
Shining in the light
Shining in the light
Oh hoh
Shine, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh hoh
Oh oh hoh hoh
8.Sons Of Freedom
Go fetch another white girl
To play with in the sand
The one i have right now is broke
The one i really want has planned
To get religion, to find another way
She's at the temple, all i have to say
I have to face it, i'm home alone
I feel quite naked, oh, so forlorn
I am united in disarray
I've no intentions, i know to pray
Send me a dreamboat
That i can sail away
Adrift in warm devotion, no memory
I feel no pain
To live for new beginnings
To ride the win to win the day
Out on the ocean, decide i've got to stay
I can't get started, i'm at an end
She's got religion, i've lost a friend
I talk in circles, i make no sense
I get so nervous, no recompense
I have to face it, i'm home alone
I feel quite naked, oh, so forlorn
I am united in disarray
I've no intentions, i know to pray
Bring me the brightest star
That i can wish upon
And close my eyes so very tight
Pretend that you're not gone
So deep is my distraction
Maybe i'll disappear
I can't get started, i'm at an end
She's got religion, i've lost a friend
I talk in circles, i make no sense
I get so nervous, no recompense
I have to face it, i'm home alone
I feel quite naked, oh, so forlorn
I am united in disarray
I've no intentions, i know to pray
I can't get started, i'm at an end
She's got religion, i've lost a friend
I talk in circles, i make no sense
I get so nervous, no recompense
Go fetch another nice girl
Another nice girl
Another nice girl
Another nice girl
Another nice girl
Another nice girl
Another nice girl
Another nice girl
9.Upon A Golden Horse
First there was a fire that burned
After came the sea
Crawling through the rain and storm
For you, for me
Slowly walks the sacred fool
Countenance sublime
Shining in the light of love
Shining, shining
Oh, shine for me now
Oh, shine for me now
High upon a golden horse
Out upon the sea
Moves a man with simple words
Some for you now, some for me
Burn for me, burn for me ah
Oh, burn for me now
Oh, burn for me, burn for me ah
Oh oh hoh hoh hoh
Out there where the wild wind blows
Oh, where the soul is free
You will be my brightest star
Shining, shining
Oh! shine for me now
Oh! shine for me now, oh
Ooh burn for me burn for me
Yeah oh burn for me, burn for me
Oh ohhhh
Shine for me now
Oh oh oh ohh
Shine for me now
Hey hey hey
10.Walking Into Clarksdale
When i was born i was running
As my feet hit the ground
Before i could walk i was humming
An old railroad sound
Things didn't get much better
When by the age of five
They found me walking into clarksdale
Trying to keep my friends alive
No time for celebration
There was no known cure
Seems i was born and raised
In the wrong killing floor
And my loved ones gathered round see
If the experiment had worked
I was misplaced, out of time
Priveleged and worse
Oh, mama please
Don't cry for me
Tears to the river
Tears to be free
Now i see twelve white horses
Walking in a line
Moving east across the metal
Bridge on highway 49
And standing in the shadows
Of a burnt out motel
The king of commerce mississippi waited
With his hound from hell, oh
A shiny noon riverboat taking
Income from the poor
It's floating by the levee in
An artificial pool
There's a six mile tailback
Back on junction 304
A stranger at the crossroads
Believe i've seen his face before
Oh,
Don't cry for me
Tears fill the river
Tears to be free
Oh, i'm sad to be leaving
The sun is going down and i really got to go now
I'm sad to be leaving
The sun's going down and i really got to go now
Really got to go now
I gotta go
I've got to move
I've got to move, yeah, ah
I'm sad to be leaving
Sun's going down and i really got to go now
I'm sad to be leaving
The sun's going down and i really got to go now, oh hoo hoo hoo
I'm sad to be leaving
Sun's going down and i really got to go now
I'm sad to be leaving
The sun's going down and i really got to go now
Really got to go now, yeah
Oh, gotta go now, yes
Yes, gotta go now
Yeah
11.When I Was A Child
I was reaching for the future
Slowly floating in the blue
When i was a boy
I dreamed a dream of you
I danced upon the tree top
I drifted with the stream
When i was a child
I held you in my dreams
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh ohhh
Oooooooh
Once i was a soldier
In my castle strong
Oh i stood so tall then
I could do no wrong
Innocence and slumber
When i was a boy
I was walking with a stranger
He left without a trace
When i was a boy
I slept at heaven's gate
Once i was a soldier
In my castle strong
Oh i stood so tall then
I could do no wrong
Innocence and slumber
When i was a boy
Once i was a soldier
In my castle strong
Oh i stood so tall then
I could do no wrong
Innocence and slumber
Oh, when i was, when i was, when i was
When i was, when i was, when i was, oh oh oh oh, ooh yeah
Once i was a soldier
In my castle strong
Oh i stood so tall then
I could do no wrong
Innocence and slumber
When i was a boy
Yes, you know and so i wonder
Through it grows and grows
When i was a boy
I was a boy
I was a boy
12.When The World Was Young

I've been here since all time began
Oh, oh, i'm here and then
Go round and round and back again

My footsteps through eternity
Riding hard, strong and free
The messenger will hold the key, ohh-hoh-hoh

When the world was young
I saw, and i knew and i touched
When the world was young

High on a hill, home of my heart
Take me dancing round, oh, and round
Carry me still sweet home of the heart
Take me dancing round, oh, round
I saw you, and i knew you, and i touched you
When the world was young
I saw you, and i knew you, and i touched you
When the world was young
