Joe Cocker Album

I'Ve Kept It Inside Much To Long
There'S No Relief
Carry It Around Just Like A Stone
Too Heavy For Me

I Had Paid The Price
Of Standing On The Outside Looking In

It'S Time To Let The Healing Begin

A Boy Is Strung Out He'S Going Through Hell
His Mother Weeps
His Spirit Is Broken And There'S Nothing Left
Just A Terrible Need

And The Days Are Marked By The Heaviness Of The Heart
It Never Mends
Until The Healing Begins

And The Tension Prowls The Streets Like And Animal
The People Stay Behind Their Locks And Chains
It'S A Shame
When So Many Are Trying Their Best To Live As One
And The Smoke Form The Fires Covers The Sun

A Young Girl Is Lying In The Dirt
Her Dreams Ended There
Caught In The Crossfire On Somebody'S Turf
Hatred In The Air

It'S A Voice That Never Sings
A Winter Without The Spring
It Never Ends
It'S Time To Let The Healing Begin
It'S Time To Let The Healing Begin

When The Road Gets Dark
And You Can No Longer See
Let My Love Throw A Spark
Have A Little Faith In Me

And When The Tears You Cry
Are All You Can Believe
Give These Loving Arms A Try Baby
Have A Little Faith In Me

Have A Little Faith In Me
Have A Little Faith In Me
Have A Little Faith In Me
Have A Little Faith In Me

When Your Secret Heart
Cannot Speak So Easily
From A Whisper Start
To Have A Little Faith In Me

And When Your Back'S Against The Wall
Just Turn Around And You Will See
I Will Catch Your Fall
Have A Little Faith In Me

Have A Little Faith In Me
Have A Little Faith In Me
Have A Little Faith In Me
Have A Little Faith In Me

Solo

When The Road Gets Dark
And You Can No Longer See
Let My Love Throw A Spark
Have A Little Faith In Me

Have A Little Faith In Me
Have A Little Faith In Me
Have A Little Faith In Me
Have A Little Faith In Me

I'Ve Been Loving You For Such A Long Time
Expecting Nothing In Return
Just For You To Have A Little Faith In Me
You Know Time, Time Is Our Friend
I Will Hold You Up, I Will Hold You Up
Your Love Gives Me Strength Enough

Have A Little Faith In Me

Somewhere Along The Way
I Got Caught Up In The Race
I Kept Spinning And Turning
Lost Myself My Hope My Faith

We'Re Always Wanting More Than What We Have
And What I'Ve Learned Is All I Really Need Are...

The Simple Things
That Come Without A Price
The Simple Things
Like Happiness Joy And Love In My Life
I'Ve Seen It All From So Many Sides
And I Hope You Would Agree
The Best Things In Life
Are The Simple Things

Hey Everybody Don'T Get Me Wrong You Got To Understand
Ambition And Knowledge
Are The Seeds Of Every Woman And Man

It'S Good To Work... Work Hard And Prosper
As Long As You Take Time To Find...

The Simple Things
That Come Without A Price
The Simple Things
Like Happiness Joy And Love In My Life
I'Ve Seen It All From So Many Sides
And I Hope You Would Agree
That The Best Things In Life
Are The Simple Things

Solo

This World Moves So Fast
Sometimes You Got To Slow Down, Down, Down
To Find Out What Its All About

We'Re Always Wanting More Than What We Have
What I'Ve Learned, Is What I Really Need A

The Simple Things
That Come Without A Price
The Simple Things
Like Happiness Joy And Love In My Life
I'Ve Seen It All From So Many Sides
And I Hope You Would Agree
The Best Things In Life
Are The Simple Things

Hot Town Summer In The City
Back Of My Neck Getting Dirt And Gritty
Been Down, Isn'T It A Pity
Doesn'T Seem To Be A Shadow In The City
All Around People Looking Half Dead
Walking On The Sidewalk Hotter Than A Match Head

But At Night It'S A Different World
Go Out And Find A Girl
Come On, Come On And Dance All Night
Despite The Heat It Will Be Alright
And Babe, Don'T You Know It'S A Pity
The Days Can'T Be Like The Night
In The Summer In The City
In The Summer In The City

Cool Town, Evening In The City
Dressed So Fine And Looking So Pritty
Cool Cat Lookin For A Kitty
Gonna Look In Every Corner Of The City
Till I'M Weezin Like A Bus Stop
Running Up The Stairs Gonna Meet Ya On The Roof Top

But At Night It'S A Different World
Go Out And Find A Girl
Come On, Come On Lets Dance All Night
Despite The Heat It Will Be Alright
And Babe, Don'T You Know It'S A Pity
The Days Can'T Be Like The Night
In The Summer In The City
In The Summer In The City

Solo

But At Night It'S A Different World
Go Out And Find A Girl
Come On, Come On Lets Dance All Night
Despite The Heatit Will Be Alright
And Babe Don'T You Know It'S A Pity
The Days Can'T Be Like The Night
In The Summer In The City
In The Summer In The City

Hot Town Summer In The City

Nights are long
And the wind is howling down
Into the hollows
Somewhere deep inside
I can hear you calling out
Across the great divide
Right or wrong there's a feeling in my heart
I try to follow
But lately i just hide
And my dream of someday crawling out
To cross this great divide
Isolation
Heart like a drum
And the beating is wearing me down
Standing at the station
But the train never comes
Still I'm hanging on
Like some old ghost town
Miles to go but I see that one way out
Stars in the distance
Skies are open wide
Waiting for my soul to rise
Above this great divide
Desperation
Is a dangerous blade
In a reckless and trembling hand
Sweet salvation
Just a thin line away
I should cut and run
But I'll make my stand
Nights are long
But I'll close my eyes again
Until tomorrow
Slip the bonds and ride
Touch the face I long to see
Above this great divide
We'll be all We long to be
Beyound this great divide

The Circle Turns And The Seasons Change
Dogs Grow Old And In The Summer It Still Rains
But I Never Thought You And I Would Ever Be Apart

Babies Cry At Their Mothers Breast
And Sunday Morning Is Still A Day To Be Blessed
But What Can I Tell My Broken Heart

Highway, Highway
Where You Go I Don'T Know
Maybe Closer To My Dreams, Maybe Far Away
Take Me Today

Highway, Highway
Give Me Wings To Fly
It'S Gonna Be Hard Letting Go Of You
And Living Separate Lives

The Stars Aren'T Diamonds And The Moons Not Blue
There'S No Gold At The End Of The Rainbow
There'S No Dream To Hold On To, Without You
The Only Thing That'S Real Is This Lonely Road Tonight

Maybe A Change Would Be Good For Me
Who Knows Where This Road Might Lead


Highway, Highway
Where You Go I Don'T Know
Maybe Closer To My Dreams, Maybe Far Away
Take Me Today

Highway, Highway
Give Me Wings To Fly
It'S Gonna Be Hard Letting Go Of You
And Living Separate Lives

It'S Gonna Be Hard Letting Go Of You
And Living Separate Lives

Its too late
It's too late for tears
Cause you know tonight one thing is clear
I could sit at home and cry
Useless as it is
Or I can try to love again
I'll be too cool
Too cool for words
Too cool, to ever get hurt, too cool
It's a lesson I've learned from you
You've got to be (cool)
So long to yesterday
Goodbye is the price you pay
You think that I was the fool
But baby, you broke all the rules
Not too (cool)
I'm all right, I'll soon be better
Cause you know
Heart aches don't last forever
You went and left me cold
Searching for somebody new
But you'll come home
And when you do
I'll be, too cool
Too cool for words
Too cool, to ever get hurt, too cool
It's a lesson I learned from you
Got to be cool
Too cool
Too cool for words
Got to be cool
Too cool

I feel life passing me by
A little more each day
We don't act out our love
In that old sweet and simple way
The world's got problems baby
We've got problems too
Why don't we work together
And see what we can do
Take a little soul time
Say what's weighing on our minds
Take a little soul time
There's no telling what we'll find
Let's love life and live it
Stop fighting and crying
Start hanging together
And reaching and trying
This time
Take a little soul time
There's still a place we can do
Inside you and me
To change our life as it is
Into life as it should be
Unless angels, baby
Answer if we call
All our hopes and dreams
They won't let us fall
Take a little soul time
Say what's weighing on our minds
Take a little soul time
There's no telling what we'll find
Let's love life and live it
Stop fighting and crying
Start hanging together
And reaching and trying
This time
Take a little soul time
We could be so fine, so fine
If we just lay it on the line this time
Take a little soul time
Say what's weighing on our minds
Take a little soul time
There's no telling what we'll find
Let's love life and live it
Stop fighting and crying
Start hanging together
And reaching and trying
This time
Take a little soul time

Out of this world
Out of this mind
Out of this love for you
Out of this world
Out of the blue
Out of this love for you

Sometimes I don't know you
You're like someone else
But that's allright
I'm a stranger here myself

She don't shed a tear
When I walk out that door
She knows, she knows
I'll be coming back for more

Out of this world
Out of this mind
Out of this love for you
Out of this world
Out of the blue
Out of this love for you

It's in the cards
It's written in the stars
It's in the wee-wee hours
In some lonely bar

She don't stay up all night
And walk the floor
She knows damn well
I'll be coming back for more

Out of this world
Out of this mind
Out of this love for you
Out of this world
Out of the blue
Out of this love for you

Well I'm work shy, I'm wild-eyed
So shut that door when the baby cries
And keep me well fed, give me warm bread
Lay my body on a feather bed
And spoil me, Angeline
Get to work when the whistle screams, Angeline

Maybe someday, some way
Somewhere in the future there's more pay
Give me more cash, bring me sour mash
Peel me a grape and fetch my stash
And bite me, Angeline
Let me use you like a sex machine, Angeline

You've got to swing that hammer, punch that card
Angeline I love you when you work so hard
Swing that hammer and sew my jeans
Angeline just loves it when I treat her mean

Well I talk tough, I act rough
Lay still honey I can't get enough
And keep your nose clean, let me be
On your knees when you speak to me
And trust me, Angeline
And talk real dirty and I'll make you scream Angeline

Friends I could count on,
I could count on one hand,
With a leftover finger or two.
I took 'em for granted,
Let 'em all slip away.
Now where they are, I wish I knew.

They roll by just like water,
And I guess we never learn.
Go through life parched and empty,
Standin' knee deep in a river and dyin' of thirst.

Sometimes I remember.
Sweethearts I've known.
Some I've forgotten, I suppose.
One or two still linger,
Oh, and I wonder now,
Why I ever let them go.

They roll by just like water,
And I guess we never learn.
Go through life parched and empty,
Standin' knee deep in a river and dyin' of thirst.

So the sidewalk is crowded:
The city goes by.
And I rush through another day,
And a world full of strangers,
Turn their eyes to me,
But I just look the other way

They roll by just like water,
And I guess we never learn.
Go through life parched and empty,
Standin' knee deep in a river and dyin' of thirst.

They roll by just like water,
And I guess we never learn.
Go through life parched and empty,
Standin' knee deep in a river and dyin' of thirst.

Maybe we're standing on the threshold
With our eyes open wide
Let the river keep on flowing
We can reach the other side
Caught in this endless revolution
Under helicopter skies
To lose becomes unthinkable
And to win is the only road now
There's a bridge over the water
I can see it like a rainbow
If you love me I'll be waiting
Take me home to the other side
All the men and all the women
Who sacrifice their love
Never taste what we took for granted
No they don't know love at all
Some of them broken some of them wounded
And so cynical from the pain
I was quiet as a grave yard
Till you heard me caling out your name
There's a bridge over the water
I can see it like a rainbow
If you love me I'll be waiting
Take me home to the other side
Life was victorious
Now it can't be denied
We'll stand together
Cause love is on our side
There's a bridge over the water
I can see it like a rainbow
If you love me I'll be waiting
Take me home to the other side
