Lookin' Out

Terry Callier Lookin' Out Lyrics
1.Midnight Mile

Lyricist:Terrence Callier

Like a ship without the ocean
Like a road without a wheel
Like a sun without the morning
People, that's the way I feel

But I'll be going home in style
Traveling one more midnight mile, yeah

I want a cold home or county
Where man must walk alone
That was the home of Muddy Waters
And they called him Daddy Rolling Stone, yeah

They said the road is such a trial
Traveling one more midnight mile, yeah

Now heaven help the people
Who's scufflin' day by day
All they need is to find a hero
Who can help show them the way

And maybe he'll be here after awhile
Traveling one more midnight mile

I looked into the heart of darkness
The reflection burnt my soul
I had to try to find a healer
And her love has made me whole

She had me crying like a child
Traveling one more midnight mile, yeah


2.Jazz, My Rhythm & Blues

Lyricist:Terrence Callier

Saved a nickel and lost a dime
And got me working overtime
And maybe that's the reason
I'm feeling dazed and confused

Random access memory
What happened to my MP3
Jazz, my rhythm & blues

Well, I don't want weed and I don't need wine
The music starts and I feel fine
And that's the reason I'm inclined
To live the life that I choose

Now some folks out here talk and smile
They think they hip, but don't know jazz
Jazz, my rhythm & blues

Blessings falling down on me
Flowing just like poetry, yeah
I'll be hoping some sweet day
Love will carry us away

Now ever since the world began
A truthful woman, a truthful man
You'd be fortunate if you can
Win one more than you lose

And something just occurred to me
Too many people still ain't free
Jazz, my rhythm & blues
Yeah, jazz

Jazz, my rhythm & blues
Yeah, jazz, jazz
Jazz, my rhythm & blues


3.Love Theme from 'Spartacus'

Lyricist:Alex North

Can it be? Do you hear?
A new freedom song is ringing
No more dark, no more fear
There's a new day that it's bringing

Something simple is the key
Only love will set us free
It's so far, it's so near
Almost close, almost here


4.We R One

Lyricist:Terrence Callier

Angels of the morning
Children of the dawn
Heaven bless and keep you
Help you carry on

All the heart has hoped for
All that eyes can see
Meant for your salvation
And felicity

I have come to find you
And I must remind you
We R one

Angels of the evening
Children of the cross
Who can help us gather
All the things that we have lost

Lifetimes shifting phases
Dreams that we discern
Words of wealth and power
Oh, but that's not my concern

I have come to find you
And I must remind you
We R one

The stone clouds will be fading
Half the rainbow's in
There'll be a new beginning
For all of us, my friend

I have come to find you
And I must remind you
We R one

I have come to find you
And I must remind you
We R one

I have come to find you
And I must remind you
We R one
...


5.Paris Blues

Lyricist:Terrence Callier

The sky was gray when I woke up this morning
Seems to me that nothin' was the same
My situation changed without a warning
(The)
Sad thing is I don't know who's to blame

Once upon a time our love was shining brightly
Maybe it was just too good to last
(Or I don't know)
Perhaps I held to tightly
I had no idea the end come so fast

'Au revoir', she said
She's out of my life, I'm out of my head
So difficult to know which way to choose
And she's gone, c'est ca
Can I go on, je ne sais pas
Got to find a way to lose the Paris Blues

The boulevard is just another byway
Where we walked together now I walk alone
One more lonely heart
(And)
One more lonely highway
One more drifter one more rollin' stone

'Au revoir', she said
She's out of my life, I'm out of my head
So difficult to know which way to choose
And she's gone c'est ca
Can I go on je ne sais pas
Got to find a way to lose the Paris Blues


6.Blues For Billie Holiday

Like an angel she could sing
But she had a broken wing
What a heavy price to pay
This here's the blues for Billie Holliday

Simple gowns all she'd wear
With one gardenia in her hair
I remember her that way
This is the blues for Billie Holliday

Her heart was always on her sleeve
All too soon she had to leave
Like a child she went astray
I sing the blues for Billie Holliday

I just heard her voice again
Like an echo in the wind
Man, there's nothin' left to say
I sing the blues for Billie Holliday
