I've been to London, seen seven wonders
I know to trip is just to fall
I used to rock it, sometimes I'd roll it
I always knew what it was for
There can be no denyin'
That the wind 'll shake 'em down
And the flat world's flyin'
In the new plague on the land
If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
If we could just join

In fields of plenty when heaven sent me
I saw the kings who rule them all
Still by the firelight and purple moonlight
I hear the rusted rivers call
And the wind is cryin'
Of a love that won't grow cold
My lover, she is lyin'
On the dark side of the globe
If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, do it, ohh

You got me rockin' when I ought to be a-rollin'
Darlin', tell me, darlin', which way to go
You keep me rockin', baby, then you keep me stallin'
Won't you tell me, darlin', which way to go, that's right

(Guitar Solo)

Oh how I wonder, oh how I worry
And I would dearly like to know
I've all this wonder of earthly plunder
Will 't leave us anything to show
And our time is flyin'
See the candle burnin' low
Is the new world risin'
From the shambles of the old
If we just join hands
If we could just join hands
If we could just, if we could just
If we could just, if we could just
If we could just join hands, hands
That's all it takes, that's all it takes

That's all it takes, that's all it takes
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, ooh yeah

Ah, ah, hey
That's right
That's right

Let me take you to the movies
Can I take you to the show
Let me be yours ever truly
Can I make your garden grow

From the houses of the holy
We can watch the white doves go
From the door comes Satan's daughter
And it only goes to show
Ah, you know

There's an angel on my shoulder
In my hand a sword of gold
Let me wander in your garden
And the seeds of love I'll sow
You know-whoa-oh

So the world is spinning faster
Are you dizzy when you're stoned
Let the music be your master
Will you heed the master's call
Oh-whoa-oh, Satan an' man

Said there ain't no use in cryin'
'Cause it will only, only drive you mad
Does it hurt to hear them lyin'
Was this the only world you had
Oh-oh

So let me take you, take you to the movie
Can I take you, baby, to the show
Why don't you let me be yours ever truly
Can I make your garden grow
You know-whoa, that's right


. . .



Greasy, slicked down body, groovy leather trim
I could lay ya on the road, mama, it ain't no sin

Talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout love

Ooh, trouble-free transmission, watch your oil explode
Mama, let me pump your gas, mama, I'm gonna do your oil

Talkin' 'bout love, huh

Baby, I could work all night, believe I've got the perfect tools

Talkin' 'bout lo-oo-ove

Automobile club-covered, really built in style
Specialist tradition, mama, I'm gonna feast my eyes

Talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout

Factory air-conditioned, wind begins to rise
Guaranteed to run for hours, mama, I need brand new tires

Talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout

Groovin' on the freeway, blazes on the railin'
From now on my gasoline I believe I'm gonna crack your head

Talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout

I can't stop talkin' about
I can't stop talkin' about

Ooh, yeah-ee-yeah, yes, ah, drive on

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
Stars to fill my dreams
I am a traveler of both time and space
To be where I have been
Secret elders of a gentle race
This world is seldom seen
Talk of days for which they sit and wait
All will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace
Whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate
The story was quite clear
Whoa-oh-hoh, whoa-oh-wa-oh

Oooh, oh baby, I been flyin'
Lord, yeah, mama, there ain't no denyin'
Oh, oooh yes, I've been flying
Mama ma, ain't no denyin', no denyin'

Oh, all I see turns to brown
As the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand
As I scan this wasted land
Tryin' to find, tryin' to find where I beeeeen-ahhh-ahhhh

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place
Yellow desert screen
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon
I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June
When movin' through Kashmir

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails
Across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face
'Long the straits of fear
Wha-oh, wha-oh
Whaoh-oh, oh

Ohhhh

Well, when I want, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay, yeah

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, yes
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there

Oh, oh, come on, come on
Oh, let me take you there
Let me take you there

. . .



And if you feel that you can't go on
And your will's sinkin' low
Just believe and you can't go wrong
In the light you will find the road, you will find the road

Hey, ooh, did you ever believe that I could leave you
Standing out in the cold
Hey, yeah, baby, I know how it feels 'cause I have slipped through
To the very depths of my soul, yeah
Oh-whoa-oo-ohh, baby, I just wanna show what I'd give you
It is from ev'ry ben' in the road
Now listen to me
Oh, whoa-oo-ohh, as I was and really would be for you, too, honey
As you would for me
Oh, I would share your load
Let me share your load
Ooh, let me share, share your load

And if you feel that you can't go on
In the light you will find the road

Hey, ah-hoh, though the winds of change may blow around you
But that will always be so
Oh, whoa-oo-oh, whoa-oo-oh, when love is pain it can devour you
If you are never alone
I would share your load
I would share your load
Baby, let me, oh, let me

In the light
Everybody needs a light, whooh, yeah-ee-yeah
Ooh, baby, in the light, in the light, in the light
Sure 'nuff they do-oo-oo

Light, light, light, in the light
Light, light, light, in the light, ooh, yeah
Light, light, light, in the light

Light, light, light, in the li-i-ight
Light, light, light, in the light, ooh, yeah-ee-yeah
Light, light, light, in the light

. . .



Ah, caught you smiling at me
That's the way it should be
Like a leaf is to a tree, so fine

Ah, all the good times we had
I sang love songs so glad
Always smiling, never sad, so fine

As we walk down the country lane
I'll be singing a song
Hear me calling your name
Hear the wind within the trees
Telling Mother Nature about you and me

Well if the sunshines so bright
Or on our way it's darkest night
The road we choose is always right, so fine

Ah can your love be so strong
When so many loves go wrong
Will our love go on and on and on and on and on and on

As we walk down the country lane
I'll be singing a song
Hear me calling your name
Hear the wind within the trees
Telling Mother Nature 'bout you and me

My my, la de la, come on now it ain't too far
Tell your friends all around the world
Ain't no companion like a blue eyed merle
Come on now well let me tell ya
What you're missing, missing, 'round them brick walls

So of one thing I am sure
It's a friendship so pure
Angels singing all around, my dog is so fine

Yeah, ain't but one thing to do
Spend my natural life with you
You're the finest dog I knew, so fine

When you're old and your eyes are dim
There ain't no old Shep gonna happen again
We'll still go walking down country lanes
I'll sing the same old songs

. . .



Down by the seaside
See the boats go sailin'
Can the people hear, oh
What the little fish are sayin'

Ohhhhh, ooooooh, oh oh, the people turned away
Oh, the people turned away

Down in the city streets
See all the folk go racin', racin'
No time left, no-no
To pass the time of day

Ohhhhhhh, oooooooh
Hey, hey, yeah, the people turned away
The people turned away
So far away, so far away

See how they run, see how they run, see how they run, see how they run
Run-run, run-run, run-run

Do you still do the twist
Do you find you remember things that well
I wanna tell you
Some folk twistin' every day
Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell
Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, oh

Out in the country
Hear the people singin'
Singin' 'bout their progress
Knowin' where they're goin'
Yeah, yeah

Ahhhhhhh, ooooooooh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, the people turned away
Yes, the people turned away

Sing loud for the sunshine
Pray hard for the rain
And show your love for Lady Nature
And she will come back again
Yes she will, yes she will

Ahhhhhhh, ooooooooh
Oh, oh, oh, the people turned away
The people turned away


. . .



There as it was
Then again it will be
An' though the course may change sometimes
Rivers always reach the sea

Blind stars of fortune
Each have several rays
On the wings maybe
Down in birds of prey
Kind of makes me feel sometimes
Didn't have to grow
But as the eagle leaves the nest
Got so far to go

Changes fill my time
Baby, that's alright with me
In the midst I think of you
And how it used to be

(Guitar Solo)

Did you ever really need somebody
And really need 'em bad
Did you ever really want somebody
The best stuff you ever had
Do you ever remember me, baby
Did it feel so good
'Cause it was just the first time
And you knew you would

Through the eyes an' I sparkle
Senses growing keen
Taste your love along the way
See your feathers preen
Kind of makes makes me feel sometimes
Didn't have to grow
We are eagles of one nest
The nest is in our soul

Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to me
Never thought I'd see your face the way it used to be
Oh darlin', oh darlin'

Ohh

Oh darlin'
Oh, yeah
Oh darlin'
I'm never gonna leave ya
I never gonna leave
Holdin' on, ten years gone
Ten years gone, holdin' on, ten years gone
Ten years gone, holdin' on, ten years gone
Holdin' on, everday
I'm never
I nev'
I'm never
I never
I'm never

. . .



I received a message from my brother 'cross the water
He sat laughin' as he wrote the end's in sight
So I said goodbye to all my friends
And packed my hopes inside a matchbox
'Cause I know it's time to fly

Oh-oh-oh-oaoh, yeah, come on, meet me in the morning
Meet me in the middle of the night
Ah-oh, yeah, the morning light is comin'
Don't it make you wanna go 'n an' feel alright

Ooh, yeah
Ah-ha

I just jumped a train that never stops
So know somehow they'll know I never
Finished payin' for my ride
Just n' someone pushed a gun into my hand
Tell me I'm the type of man
To fight the fight that I'll require

Ohhoaoh, yeah, ha, come on meet me in the morning
Won't you meet me in the middle of the night, night, night, yeah
Ohhoaoh, well, the morning light is comin'
'll don't it make you wanna go on an' feel alright

Oh, mama, well I think it's time I'm leavin'
Nothin' here to make me stay
Whoa, mama, well it must be time I'm goin'
They're knockin' down them doors
They're tryin' to take me away

Please Mr. Brakeman, won't you ring your bell
And ring loud and clear
Unnh, please Mr. Fireman, won't you ring your bell
Tell the people they got to fly away from here

Ohhoaoh, I once saw a picture of a lady with a baby
Suddenly they have a very, very special smile
We are in the middle of a change in destination
When the train stops, all together we will smile

Ohhoaoh, come on, come on, now, meet me in the morning
Won't you meet me in the middle of the night, night, n-n-ni-night
Hoah, hoah, yeah, everybody know the mornin' time is comin'
Don't it make you wanna a-feel alright
Ah, ah, yeah
Make me feel alri-ight
Fly now, baby
Get to fly, yeah
Fly now, baby

Aoahaohah-hey-hea, unnh

. . .



Silent woman in the night, you came
Tell me 't I see through my shakin' frame
Same old thing, yeah, I'm not a-playin'
And the wheel rolls on

Silent moves through the flames, you come
From the deep behind the sun
Gives my nightmares, my love has gone
Left me barely holdin' on, oh, oh

With blazin' eyes I see my tremblin' hands
When we know the time has come
Lose many senses, lose command
Feel your healin' rivers run

Why's it every time I fall
That I think this is the one
Ooh, in the darkness can you hear me call
Another day has just begun, another day, yeah


Ooh

(Guitar Solo)

Sud'en'y all of my face is changed
Some know wha' it has become
Feel my fire needs a brand-new flame
And the wheel rolls on

Rolls on
Rolls on
Rolls on, eunh

From the windows of a rented limousine
I saw your pretty blue eyes
One day soon you're gonna reach sixteen
Painted lady in the city of lies

Oh, do you know my name
Do I look the same
You know I'm the one you want, baby
I must be the one you need, yeah

Clutchin' pages from your teenage dream
In the lobby of the Hotel Paradise
Through the circus of the L.A. queens
How fast your learn the downhill slide

Oh, how you play the game
Still don't know your name
You know I'm the one you want, baby
Whooh, yes, I've got to be the one you need, need, need, need
yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Oh, you got to tell me

(Guitar Solo)

Just a minute, just a minute
Lips like cherries on the brow of a queen
Come on, flash it, flash in my eyes
Said you dug me since you were thirteen
Then you giggle as heave an' sigh

Oh, do you know my name
Do I look the same
Baby, I got to tell you, I'm the one you want
And everybody knows I'm the one you need, yeah-yeah

Oh, get it, get it
Come on now
Come on now
Come on now

Hours, hours, were the moments in between
Oh, baby, I couldn't count the times
fI've thought of comin' on a plane an' leavin'
Oh, baby, dry those silver eyes

Oh, do you know my name
Do I look the same
You know I'm the one you want
Whoo-ooh, ye-yes, I'm the one you need, yeah-yeah
