1.Rain
It's hard to listen to a hard hard heart
Beating close to mine
Pounding up against the stone and steel
Walls that I won't climb
Sometimes a hurt is so deep deep deep
You think that you're gonna drown
Sometimes all I can do is weep weep weep
With all this rain falling down
Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm holding on underneath this shroud
Rain
Its hard to know when to give up the fight
The things you wanted that will never be right
It's never rained like it has tonight before
I don't want to beg you baby
For something maybe you could never give
I'm not looking for the rest of your life
I just want another chance to live
Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm still alive underneath this shroud
Rain
Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm still alive underneath this shroud
Rain
2.Chief
Chief had been out of the army
For fifteen years or more
He was still marching up and down that street
Just like he was walking to war
They called him the chief 'cause he was Indian
It was a name they said behind his back
In the summer he'd march without any shoes
Till the soles of his feet turned black
Till the soles of his feet turned black
His hands wouldn't work the machinery
'Cause his brain told them what to say
It was a helluva of a life
But its somebody's life
Up and down the street all day
Honey, I've been put through the paces
Running like a dog on the track
The wheels keep on going as fast as you get there
You don't ever get to go back
I don't really know what I'm doing
Just watching myself in some play
And the actress looks like she wants to go home
And lie in her bed all day
Yeah lie in a big bed all day
Her hands won't work the machinery
'Cause her brain tells them what to say
It's a helluva of a life
But its somebody's life
Up and down the street all day
Well I wish you could see me
When I'm flying in my dreams
The way I laugh there way up high
The way I look when I fly
The way I laugh
The way I fly
Chief got out of the army
Jesus went to live with the poor
I'm still marching up and down that street
I don't know what I'm doing that for
I don't know what I'm doing that for
I don't know what I'm doing that for
3.Stolen Car
Lyrics:Bruce Springsteen
Music:Bruce Springsteen
I met a little girl and I settled down
In a little house out on the edge of town
We got married, swore we'd never part
And little by little we drifted from each other's hearts
At first I thought it was just restlessness
That would fade as time went by and our love grew deep
In the end it was something more, I guess
Tore us apart and made us weep
I'm driving a stolen car
Down on Eldridge Avenue
Each night I wait to get caught
But I never do
She asked if I remembered the letters I wrote
When our love was young and bold
She said last night she read those letters
And they made her feel one hundred years old
I'm driving a stolen car
On a pitch black
And I'm telling myself
It's gonna be all right
I drive by night
And I travel in fear
That in this darkness
I will disappear
4.Making Pies
It's not far
I can walk
Down the block
To Table Talk
Close my eyes
Make the pies all day
Plastic cap
on my hair
I used to mind
now I don't care
I used to mind now I don't care
'Cause I'm gray
Did I show you this picture of my nephew
Taken at his big birthday surprise
At my sister's house last Sunday?
This is Monday and I'm making pies
I'm making pies, making pies
Thursday nights
I go and type
Down to the church
For Father Mike
It gets me out
And he ain't hard to like
At all
Jesus stares at me
In my chair
With his big blue eyes
And his honey brown hair
He's looking at me
From way up there
On the wall
Did I show you this
picture of my sweetheart
Taken of us before the war?
Of the Greek and his Italian girl
One Sunday at the shore
We tied our ribbons to the fire escape
They were taken by the birds
Who flew home to the country
As the bombs rained on the world
Five a.m.
Here I am
Walking the block
To Table Talk
You could cry or die
Or just make pies all day
I'm making pies, making pies
I'm making pies, making pies
5.Be Careful
All the girls in the Paris night
All the girls in the pale moonlight
All the girls with the shopping bags
All the girls with the washing rags
All the girls on the telephones
All the girls standing all alone
All the girls sitting on the wires
Who one by one fly into the fire
Be careful how you bend me
Be careful where you send me
Careful how you end me
Be careful with me
All the girls standing by your beds
All the girls standing on their heads
All the girls with the broken arms
All the girls with the deadly charms
All the girls in the restaurants
Pretending to be nonchalant
Funny girls on the T.V. shows
Close your eyes and they've turn to snow
Be careful how you bend me
Be careful where you send me
Careful how you end me
Be careful with me
All the girls working overtime
Telling you everything is fine
All the girls in the beauty shops
Girls tongues catching the raindrops
All the girls that you'll never see
Forever a mystery
All the girls with their secret ways
All the girls who have gone astray
Be careful how you bend me
Be careful where you send me
Careful how you end me
Be careful with me
Be careful how you bend me
Be careful with me
6.Long Ride Home
Long black limousine
Shiniest car I've ever seen
The back seat is nice and clean
She rides as quiet as a dream
Someone dug a hole six long feet in the ground
I said goodbye to you and I threw my roses down
Ain't nothing left at all in the end of being proud
With me riding in this car, and you flying through them clouds
I've had some time to think about yit
And watch the sun sink like a stone
I've had some time to think about you
On the long ride home
One day I took your tiny hand
Put your finger in the wedding band
Your daddy gave a piece of land
We made ourselves the best of plans
Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed
Forty years of things you say you wish you'd never said
How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead
I wonder as I stare up at the sky turning red
I've had some time to think about it
And watch the sun sink like a stone
I've had some time to think about you
On the long ride home
Headlights searching down the driveway
The house is dark as it can be
I go inside and all is silent
And seems as empty as the inside of me
I've had some time to think about it
And watch the sun sink like a stone
I've had some time to think about you
On the long, on the long
Oh the long, on the long
On the long ride home
7.Nobody's Crying
Well he jumps in the taxi, headed for the sky
He's off to slay some demon dragonfly
And he looked at me, that long last time
Turned away again and I waved goodbye
In an envelope, inside his coat
Is a chain I wore, around my throat
Along with, a note I wrote
Said 'I love you but, I don't even know why'
But darling, I wish you well
On your way to the wishing well
Swinging off of those gates of hell
But I can tell how hard you're trying
Just have that secret hope
sometimes all we do is cope
Somewhere on the steepest slope
There's an endless rope
and nobody's crying.
The long night turns into a couple long years
Of me walking around and round this trail of tears
With the very loud voices of my own tears
ringing and ringing in my ears
It says that love is long gone
Every move I make is all wrong
Says you never gave a damn for me
For anything, to anyone
But darling, I wish you well
On your way to the wishing well
Swinging off of those gates of hell
But I can tell how hard you're trying
I just had this secret hope
Though sometimes all we'd do is cope
That somewhere on the steepest slope
there's an endless rope
And nobody's crying.
May you dream you are dreaming, in a warm soft bed
May the voices inside you that fill you with dread
Sound like thousands of angels instead
Tonight where you might be laying your head
I wish you well
On your way to the wishing well
Swinging off of those gates of hell
But I can tell how hard you're trying
I still have this secret hope
Though sometimes all I do is cope
That somewhere on the steepest slope
there's an endless rope
And nobody' crying.
8.Tomorrow Night
Lyrics:Sam Coslow/Will Grosz
Music:Sam Coslow/Will Grosz
Tomorrow night
will you remember what you said tonight
Tomorrow night
will all the thrill be gone
Tomorrow night
will it be just another memory
Or just another song that's in my heart to linger on
Your lips are so tender
your heart is beating fast
As you willingly surrender
to be my darling at last
Tomorrow night
will you be with me when the moon is bright
Tomorrow night
will you say those lovely things you said tonight
Your lips are so tender
your heart is beating fast
As you willingly surrender
to be my darling at last
Tomorrow night
will you be with me when the moon is bright
Tomorrow night
will you say those lovely things you said tonight
9.Mil Besos
He encontrado en tu amor,
la fe perdida,
Ahora tiene mi vida una razón.
No sé si fue el embrujo de tus ojos,
que le dijo a tus labios,
Róbale el corazón.
Yo sé que en los mil besos
que te he dado en la boca
se me fue el corazón;
y dicen que es pecado
querer como te quiero,
Quizás tengan razón.
Pero que ha de importarme
todo lo que me digan,
no te he de olvidar;
que si es pecado amarte
yo he de seguir pecando
nunca lo he de ocultar.
Te he de seguir amando,
te he de seguir besando
hasta volverte loca.
hasta que me devuelvas
el corazón que en besos
yo te deje en la boca
I have found in your love
my lost faith,
Now my life has a reason.
I don't know if it was the witchcraft of your eyes,
that said to your lips,
Steal his heart.
I know that in the thousand kisses
that I have given you on the mouth
my heart left me;
and they say that it's a sin
to love as I love you,
Maybe they're right.
But what should everything they tell me
matter to me,
I won't forget you;
for if it's a sin to love you
I will continue sinning
I will never hide it.
I will continue loving you,
I will continue kissing you
until I drive you mad,
until you give me back
the heart that in kisses
I left in your mouth...
