Este amor apasionado
Anda todo alborotado por volver
Voy camino a la locura
Y aunque todo me tortura, se querer

Nos dejamos hace tiempo
Pero se llego el momento de perder
Tu tenias mucha razn
Le hago caso al corazon
Y me muero por volver

Y volver, volver, volver
A tus brazos otra vez
Llegare hasta donde estes
Yo se perder, yo se perder
Quiero volver, volver, volver

Nos dejamos hace tiempo
Pero se llego el momento de perder
Tu tenias mucha razon
Le hago caso al corazon
Y me muero por volver

Y volver, volver, volver
A tus brazos otra vez
Llegare hasta donde estes
Yo se perder, yo se perder
Quiero volver, volver, volver


. . .



De Chiquinquirá yo vengo de pagar una promesa,
y ahora que vengo santo dame un besito Teresa.

Hola Dolores, toma la llave, abre la puerta, prende la vela,
tiende la cama, dame un besito, qué hay de Cuchipe,
qué hay de Cuchipe, qué hay de Dolores.

El que enamora casadas siempre está descolorido,
será por las trasnochadas o por el miedo al marido.

Hola Dolores...

Las mujeres de mi pueblo no saben ni dar un beso,
en cambio las bogotanas estiran hasta el pescuezo.

Hola Dolores...

Chinita si me querés meteme tras de la puerta,
que tu mama como es tuerta pensará que soy la tranca.

Hola Dolores...

La Feria de la Flores

[No lyrics]

Tanto tiempo disfrutamos este amor
Nuestras almas se acercaron tanto asi
Que yo guardo tu sabor
Pero tu llevas tambien sabor a mi

Si negaras mi presencia en tu vivir
Bastaria con abrazarte y conversar
Tanta vida yo te di
Que por fuerza tienes ya sabor a mi

No pretendo ser tu dueno
No soy nada yo no tengo vanidad
De mi vida doy lo bueno
Yo tan pobre que otra cosa puedo dar

Pasaran mas de mil anos muchos mas
Yo no se si tenga amor la eternida
Pero alla tal como aqui
En la boca llevaras sabor a mi

No pretendo ser tu dueno
No soy nada yo no tengo vanidad
De mi vida doy lo bueno
Yo tan pobre que otra cosa puedo dar

Pasaran mas de mil anos muchos mas
Yo no se si tenga amor la eternida
Pero alla tal como aqui
En la boca llevaras sabor a mi
Sabor a mi
Sabor a mi
Sabor a mi


. . .



If I say yes, I'm sure you'll say no
If I say stop I know you'll say go
What seems to be the problem here
Is you and me, 'cause we just can't agree
So let's just say goodnight and go home

You're always right, and I have never
Been wrong. The way we are it's getting
Harder to hang on.
But who's to blame, when two things are
Never the same, it's not people
That change, it's maybe living from day to day

What can I say, the Lord just made us this way
What can I do you know what I've been thru.
It's just this world, it makes it hard for
A guy and girl, but we could give it a whirl,
So let's just say goodnight and go home


. . .



Cuando te cases con el otro ire a tu boda,
Cuando pregunten en seguida me opendre,
Y si pregunta el jura que porque me opongo,
Yo le dire que porque tu eres mi querer,
Y si se enoja el que ira ser tu esposo.

Saco mi cuete y me pongo a disparar
Al fin y al cabo yo no le tengo a la muerte
Y voy al bote porque soy la autoridad

[Chorus:]
Ay! Anselma, Anselma, Anselma
Chaparra de mis penares,
O, dejas que te visite
O, te mando a los jendarmes

Y si te niegas a matrimoniar conmigo
Les quiteo el rancho y propiedad de tu papa
Les pongo ipuestos y hasta les quemo la casa
Porque por algo soy aqui la autoridad

Yo ordeno, y mando en todo este munisipio
Yo te lo digo por si quieres escapar
Aya en el otro el que manda es mi tio elijio
No mas le digo y te tiene que agarrar

[Chorus]


. . .



Through the chill of winter
Running across the frozen lake
Hunters are out on his trail
All odds are against him
With a family to provide for
The one thing he must keep alive
Will the wolf survive?

Drifting by the roadside
Climbs each storm and aging face
Wants to make some morning's fate
Losing to the range war
He's got two strong legs to guide him
Two strong arms keep him alive
Will the wolf survive?

Standing in the pouring rain
All alone in a world that's changed
Running scared, now forced to hide
In a land where he once stood with pride
But he'll find his way by the morning light

Sounds across the nation
Coming from your hearts and minds
Battered drums and old guitars
Singing songs of passion
It's the truth that they all look for
The one thing they must keep alive
Will the wolf survive?
Will the wolf survive?


. . .



Speak softly, don't wake the baby
Come and hold me once more
Before I have to leave
Because there's a lot of work out there
Everything will be fine
And I'll send for you baby
Just a matter of time

Our life, the only thing we know
Come and tell me once more
Before you have to go
That's there's a better world out there
Though it don't feel right
Will it be like I hope
Just a matter of time

And I hope it's all it seems
Not another empty dream
There's a time for you and me
In a place living happily

And I hope it's all it seems
Not another empty dream
There's a time for you and me
In a place living happily

Walk quietly, don't make a sound
Believe in what you're doing
I know we can't be wrong
Don't worry about us here
It will be alright
And we'll be there with you
Just a matter of time
And we'll all be together
Just a matter of time
A matter of time
We'll be together
In a matter of time
You and me, a matter of time
It will be like I hoped
A matter of time


. . .



You know your love for me
Has given me a thrill
And I just can't stand still
Pretty mama, you know I love you so
'Cause I love you and I want you, Baby
I got to let you know

You know your kiss kiss kiss
Has set me off my feet
And that just can't be beat
Pretty mama, with any other girl
'Cause I love you and I want you, Baby
I got to let you know

Every night in my dreams
I can hold you near
Even then I still feel
That loving you is real
You know my love's still strong
And I'm still holding on
Ain't nothing we can't do
Pretty darlin', you know I love you so
'Cause I love you and I want you, Baby
I got to let you know

Every night in my dreams
I can hold you near
Even then I still feel
That loving you is real
You know my love's still strong
And I'm still holding on
Ain't nothing we can't do
Pretty mama, you know I love you so
'Cause I love you and I want you, Baby
I got to let you know
'Cause I love you and I want you, Baby
I got to let you know


. . .


Standin' there by the window
Starin' out at the night
You've got so many troubles
On your nervous mind
But don't worry baby
It's gonna work out fine

You hear the sound of footsteps
Stealing 'cross the floor
You picked up the receiver
You didn't know what for
Then you saw the shadow
Steppin' through the door

Well don't worry baby
What the world may bring
Well don't worry baby
It won't change a thing
Life is a fly
And then you die

Standin' there by the window
Starin' out at the night
You see your lover leanin'
Against the old street light
But don't worry baby
It's gonna be alright

He was tossin' and turnin'
And he couldn't sleep
He said you shouldn't bother
It was just a dream
So where was he goin'
Headin' down the street

Well don't worry baby
What the world may bring
Well don't worry baby
It won't change a thing
Life is a fly
And then you die

. . .



A wise man was telling stories to me
About the places he had been to
And the things that he had seen

A quiet voice is singing something to me
An age old song about the home of the brave
In this land here of the free
One time one night in America

A lady dressed in white with the man she loved
Standing along the side of their pickup truck
A shot rang out in the night
Just when everything seemed right
Another headline written down in America

The guy that lived next door in #305
Took the kids to the park and disappeared
About half past nine
Who will ever know
How much she loved them so
That dark night alone in America

A quiet voice is singing something to me
An age old song about the home of the brave
In this land here of the free
One time one night in America

Four small boys playing ball in a parking lot
A preacher, a teacher, and the other became a cop
A car skidded into the rain
Making the last little one a saint
One more light goes out in America

A young girl tosses a coin in the wishing well
She hopes for a heaven while for her
There's just this hell
She gave away her life
To become somebody's wife
Another wish unanswered in America

People having so much faith
Die too soon while all the rest come late
We write a song that no one sings
On a cold black stone
Where a lasting peace will finally bring

The sunlight plays upon my windowpane
I wake up to a world that's still the same
My father said to be strong
And that a good man could never do wrong
In a dream I had last night in America

A wise man was telling storie to me
About the places he had been to
And the things that he had seen

A quiet voice is singing something to me
An age old song about the home of the brave
In this land here of the free
One time one night in America


. . .



The wind blows through the valley
It's warm and hard and wild
It gets all up inside the trees
And shakes the leaves all night
They shake up through the mountains
They shake up to the sky
They shake up to the moon above
And then it starts to shine
And Lord it makes me tremble
And Lord it makes me tremble
They shakin' and shakin' and shakes

A fault runs through the valley
It's long as it is mean
It starts to tear into the earth
And gets all in between
It shakes up through the mountains
It shakes down to the sea
It shakes up to the volcano
And then it starts to scream
And then it starts to shine
And Lord it makes me tremble
And Lord it makes me tremble
It's shakin' and shakin' and shakes

There's a woman in this valley
She's sweet as she is rough
And when she starts to dance that way
She shakes the boys all up
She shakes it through the mountains
She shakes it through the night
She shakes it like a hurricane
She gives a blind man sight
And Lord it makes me tremble
And Lord it makes me tremble
She's shakin' and shakin' and shakes


. . .



Memories of a lonely past
A boat set into the wind
Drifting lost in waters of doubt
On a journey that has no end

Torn and faded photographs
A chestful of old goodbyes
Tear streaked faces by the light of the moon
Here on a river of fools
Here on a river of fools

A trio of angels holding candles of light
Guide the ship to an unknown shore
Sad soul riders with arms drawn tight
As they stopped for just one more

Fingers pointed to a star in the sky
A message from someone they can't see
Tear streaked faces by the light of the moon
Here on a river of fools
Here on a river of fools

Traveling along a cloudy path
With a wing, a heart, and a prayer
Pieces fall from the heavens above
To a place they know not where

A string of beads in trembling hands
Heading close to the judgement day
Tear streaked faces by the light of the moon
Here on a river of fools
Here on a river of fools


. . .



Carabina 30-30
Que los rebeldes portaban
Y Decian los maderistas
Que con ella no mataban

Carabina 30-30
Que los rebeldes portaban
Y Decian los maderistas
Que con ella no mataban

Con mi 30-30
Me voy a marchar
A engrosar las filas de la rebelion
Si mi sangre piden, me sangre les doy
Por los habitantes de nuestra nacion

Gritaba Francisco Villa:
Donde de hallas, aguemedo?
Te quiero ver a frente a frente
Tu que nunca tienes miedo

Gritaba Francisco Villa:
Donde de hallas, aguemedo?
Te quiero ver a frente a frente
Tu que nunca tienes miedo

Con mi 30-30
Me voy a marchar
A engrosar las filas de la rebelion
Si mi sangre piden, me sangre les doy
Por los habitantes de nuestra nacion

Ya nos vamos pa'Chihuahua
Ya se va tu negro santo
Si me quebra alguna bala
Ve a llorarme al camposanto

Ya nos vamos pa'Chihuahua
Ya se va tu negro santo
Si me quebra alguna bala
Ve a llorarme al camposanto

Con mi 30-30
Me voy a marchar
A engrosar las filas de la rebelion
Si mi sangre piden, me sangre les doy
Por los habitantes de nuestra nacion

When it's up to you
To figure out what's right and wrong
It's someone else's parade
And yours is an unhappy song

When it hurts so bad
And you feel that you can't go on
Each day go by too fast
And the nights are so very long

[Chorus:]
You'll find out true
What mother said to you
That tears of god will show you the way
The way to turn

When your only escape
Is a cheap nickel wine
And the peace you need in your heart
Is so very hard to find

It's a stubborn life we lead
And there's never no rest
Trouble's out there looking for you
Even when you try your best

[Chorus]

Hide not your head
The way to turn
Hear what he once said
He'll show you the way
For there is a world for you and me
Where the blind too can see
Through the tears of god

The son of the maker said
This is my cross to bear
Taking off of our shoulders
Something we should have shared

[Chorus]


. . .



When love's in vain, love can be so strange
There ain't nothing I can take to kill this pain
Set me free
Why don't you, Rosa Lee?

She is a dream, but she's so hard to please
She moves around like an Egyptian queen
Set me free
Why don't you, Rosa Lee?

I'm so afraid of losing you
But there's only so much that a man can do
For Rosa Lee
Why don't you set me free?

When I hit the road the time goes slow
Thinking about the places I used to go
With Rosa Lee
Why won't you set me free?

They're trying to close the Tu y Yo
The Latin Playboy and the Sky Room shows
Oh! Rosa Lee
Why don't they let them be?

I can't get used to losing you
But there's only so much that a man can do
For Rosa Lee
Why don't you set me free?

When love's in vain, love can be so strange
But I never thought I'd wear a ball and chain
Set me free
Why don't you, Rosa Lee?


. . .



Well come on let's go, let's go, let's go
Little darling
And tell me that you'll never leave me
Come on let's go and do it again

Well now swing me, swing me, all the way
Down there
Come on let's go little darling
Come on let's go again once more

[Bridge:]
Well now I love you so
And I'll never let you go
Come on Baby so
Oh! Pretty baby I love you so

Well come on let's go, let's go, let's go
Little darling
And tell me we'll always be together
Come on let's go again and do it again

[Bridge]

Well let's go, let's go, let's go little sweetheart
And tell me we'll always dance together
Come on let's go and do it again

Cantando el "gustito" estaba cuando me quede dormido
Cuando me quede dormido cantando el "gustito" estaba
Ay la la la...
Mi mama me despertaba
Yo me hacia el descentendido para ver si me dejaba
Otro ratito dormido

Si piensas que estoy sentido porque tienes nuevo amante
Porque tienes nuevo amante si piensas que estoy sentido
Ay la la la...
Antes vivo agradecio que Dios te pague el marchante
Que Dios te pague el marchante, y es el calidad contigo

Ausente de mi estaran pero no de mi memoria
Pero no de mi memoria ausente de mi estaran
Ay la la la...
Esto bien comprenderan que para que su memoria
Que para que su memoria ausente te quiero mas


. . .



Estoy sentado aqui, que me pasan la tequila
El amor y triste vida no me importa a mi
Ahora pienso enboracharme pa quitarme este coraje
La mujer que yo queria me dejo a mi

Estoy sentado aqui, y con sentimiento espero
Ya parese que me muero por estar sin ti
Que tristesa me acompana
Le hace falta al corazon la ternura de tu
Amor que tu vida me dio

Estoy sentado aqui, y con sentimiento espero
Ya parese que me muero por estar sin ti
Que tristesa me acompana
Le hace falta al corazon la ternura de tu
Amor que tu vida me dio
Estoy sentado aqui


. . .



No se como decirte
No se como explicarte
Que aqui no hay remedio
De lo que siento yo
De lo que siento yo

La luna me dice una cosa
Las estrellas me dicen otra
Y la luz del dia me canta
Esta triste cancion
Esta triste cancion

Los besos que me diste mi amor
Son los que me estan matando
Ya las lagrimas me estan secando
Con mi pistola y mi corazon
Y aqui siempre paso la vida con
La pistola y el corazon

No se como amarte
No se como abrasarte
Porque no se me deja
Dolor que tengo yo
El dolor que tengo yo

Esta noche tan oscura con sus
Sombras tan tranquilos
Y el viento me sige cantando
Este humilde cancion
Este humilde cancion

Los besos que me diste mi amor
Son los que me estan matando
Ya las lagrimas me estan secando
Con mi pistola y mi corazon
Y aqui siempre paso la vida con
La pistola y el corazon

Now I'm the king of the swingers world
The jungle be I be
I reach the top and have to stop
And that's what's a bother to me

I wan'na be a man, a man cub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of humping around

So, ooh, I wan'na be just like you
I wan'na walk like you
Talk like you too
You see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too

Now don't try to kid me man cub
I made a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire
To make my dream come true

Give me the secret man cub
Just clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
So I can be like you

So, ooh, I wan'na be just like you
I wan'na walk like you
Talk like you too
You see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too
You see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too

(feat. Mavis Staples)

Someday I will go home
Someday I will go home
And I'll find peace in the house
Of my heavenly father
I will fear, fear no more

I know down in my heart
I know it won't be long
And I shall see the face
Of my savior
I will fear, I will fear
I will fear, pain no more

Someday, I will go home
Someday, I will go home
And I shall take the hand
Of my savior
I will fear, I will fear
I will fear, pain no more
I, I will fear, I will fear
Pain no more

Driving home
Driving home
I'm driving home


. . .



Down on the riverbed
Down on the riverbed
Down on the riverbed
I asked my lover for her hand

A red tailed hawk circled overhead
A red tailed hawk circled overhead
A red tailed hawk circled overhead
The church on the hill is what she said

A monster cloud like a big black hand
A monster cloud like a big black hand
A monster cloud like a big black hand
As she drew houses in the sand

Then I heard a train whistle blow
Then I heard a train whistle blow
Then I heard a train whistle blow
And I knew it was time to go


. . .



Let the calm, calm blue waters through
Wash your soul, passing right through you
Like the smallest rose out of the hardest ground
Like a tiny hand reaching up for the sun
Let us hope that our hearts are one
The toughest love is the strongest one
Like a crippled man fights his bitter pain
On two tired legs that hope to walk once again
Just stay gold and be still

As we grow, a river flows
Through our hearts
Finding peace wherever it may go

Let pure, pure blue waters through
Don't let the wind take them away
From you, the littlest star
Shines in the darkest night
Like a mother's ache brings in a new life
Just stay gold and be still
Pray that we can stay gold and be still


. . .



Brother finds trouble on the street
A piece of rock to make men weak
Trembling eyes at everyone he meets

Sister holds her baby in the bed
Dreams and wishes dancin' in her head
A love forever is what he said
That's what he said

Father leans back in his easy chair
A pint of whiskey, he just sits and stares
He don't know and he doesn't really care

Mother works at her nine to five
Hardly makes enough to keep alive
She bows her head with tears in her eyes

Thank you Lord for another day
Help my brother along his way
And please bring peace to the Neighborhood
Grant us all peace and serenity

They're just songs sung on a dirty street
Echoes of hope lie beneath their feet
Struggling hard to make ends meet

Thank you Lord for another day
Help my brother along his way
And please bring peace to the Neighborhood
Thank you Lord for another day
Help my brother along his way
And please bring peace to the Neighborhood
To the neighborhood, to the neighborhood, to the neighborhood


. . .



I love you baby with all my might
God knows I tried to treat you right
I beg you baby, let me be your slave
But please don't send me to an early grave

[Chorus:]
Well I can't understand, why did you let me go?
Well I can't understand, why did you let me go?
I done all I could, I can't do no more

There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you
If you want my life you can have that too
Please use my blood to make my grave
Let the world know I died your happy slave

[Chorus]

I thought you loved me, I changed my life
I wanted you to be my woman and wife
Now bloodshot tears have blinded my eyes
I'm too weak to live and too strong to die

[Chorus]


. . .



Good night, sleep tight
The big bright sun has gone away
Done gone away
Goodbye, don't cry
Tomorrow will bring us a brand new day
We can run and play

[Chorus:]
And they'll laugh up and down the hall
Don't you go shout when you hear them fall
Let them fly across the wall
Let them cry - 'til the morning calls
Little two step angel dance

Big night, bright lights
Time now to lay them all to rest
Put 'em all to rest
Bad guys, mean eyes
All gone away to where they belong
Let's just sing our song

[Chorus]

Good days, new ways
Let go of all things when you sleep
When you're all asleep
Good night, sleep right
Tomorrow is gonna bring us another day
So we can run and play

[Chorus]


. . .



I had a hard run
Running from your window
I was all night running
I wonder if you care?
I had a run-in
Run around and run down
Run around a corner
Run smack into a tree

I had to move
Really had to move
That's why if you please
I am on my bended knees
Bertha don't you come around here anymore

Dressed myself in green
I went down to the sea
Try to see what's going down
Maybe read between the lines

Had a feeling I was falling
Turned around to see
Heard a voice calling
You was comin after me

I had to move
Really had to move
That's why if you please
I am on my bended knees
Bertha don't you come around here anymore

Ran into a rainstorm
Ducked into a bar door
It was all night pouring
But not a drop on me

Test me, test me
Why don't you arrest me?
Throw me in the jail house
Until the sun goes down
Till it go down

I had to move
Really had to move
That's why if you please
I am on my bended knees
Bertha don't you come around here anymore


. . .



Hammer and a nail
Hammer and a nail
Saint behind the glass
Holds a hammer and a nail

Baby in his arms
Baby in his arms
Saint behind the glass
Has a baby in his arms

Watches me sleep
Watches me sleep
Saint behind the glass
Watches me while I sleep

Coffee in the air
Coffee in the air
Saint behind the glass
Smells coffee in the air

Curtains blowing 'round
Curtains blowing 'round
Saint behind the glass
Sees the curtains blowing 'round

Night upon my head
Night upon my head
Saint behind the glass
Lays night upon my head

Mother don't cry
Mother don't cry
Saint behind the glass
Tells mother not to cry


. . .



Broken window smile
Weeds for hair
Strolling 'round the corner
Like a millionaire

And the angels with dirty faces
Go it alone

With one shoe on
And one shoe lost
Stands a wounded man
Who just laughs it off

And the angels with dirty faces
Go it alone
And the angels with dirty faces
Go it alone

Lost a brother last night
To the howling wind
Find an empty doorway
It'll be back again

And the angels with dirty faces
Go it alone
And the angels with dirty faces
Go it alone


. . .



Rain, rain, rain, a wicked rain
Falling from the sky
Down, down, down, pouring down
Upon the night
Well there's just one chance in a million
That someday we'll make it out alive

Rain, rain, rain, an evil rain
Falling all the time
Sun, sun, sun
Sun don't ever want to shine
Well there'll be no light in the morning
Till some peace at last we find

Like travellers in the darkness
Can't see our way
Trying hard to make it through
Another day

Father, father, father
Why do you let your sons go astray
Brother, brother, brother
Why must we go on this way
There's a storm off in the distance
And it looks like it's here to stay

Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain

Kiko and the lavender moon
Out playing - makes believe
Nobody can see
And then he waits
And then he fakes
And then he bends
And then he shakes
He plays and plays
Still playing till he
Goes off to sleep

Kiko and the lavender moon
Out dancing making faces at
A big black cat
And then he flies
Up to the wall
Stands on one foot
Doesn't even fall
Dance and dance
Still dancing till
He goes off to sleep

He always sleeps
Till the sun goes down
He never wakes
Till no one's around
He never stops
Can't catch his breath
It's always there
Scares him to death

Kiko and the lavender moon
Out dreaming 'bout green shoes
Haircuts and cake
And then he wishes
The world away
And then he kneels
As if to pray
He dreams and dreams
Kiko and the lavender moon


. . .



Could have had a chance to get out of this wreck
The time that you came and the day that you left
Could have had a chance
Could have had a chance

Never thought I could make it this far
With a dent in my soul and a hole in my heart
Never thought I could
Never thought I could

[Chorus:]
But when the lights are turning 'round
And wheels are rolling on the ground
That day I'll burn this whole place down
When the circus comes to town

You left your name carved on a tree
You scratched mine out right in front of me
Didn't mean that much
Didn't mean that much

[Chorus]

I'll scratch your name out on that tree
I'll chase your heart right out of me
Doesn't mean that much
Doesn't mean that much

[Chorus]


. . .



Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Peace to the world

I see a baby in a crib
Reaching up for Mama's arms
Love is rising in their hearts - oh yeah

There is a man standing on the street
Shouting loud above the crowd
Saying amen to everyone one around - oh yeah

I see a man who loved his land
Laying lifeless on the ground
He said the time is now
To bring peace to the world
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Peace to the world

We build a wall of stone
As high as the trees are tall
Higher then the mountains
Stronger then us all - oh yeah

Some day that wall will crumble
Tumble and fall, the sun will shine
And bring peace to us all
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Bring peace to us all
Bring peace to us all

We build a wall of stone
As high as the trees are tall
Higher then the mountains
Stronger then us all - oh yeah

Some day that wall will crumble
Tumble and fall, the sun will shine
And bring peace to us all
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Peace to us all
Peace to the world


. . .


In the sunlight of your smile
In the summer of our life
In the magic of love
Storms above scattered away

Lovers dreaming in the night
Reaching for paradise
But as the dark shadows fade
Love slips away

On an empty stretch of beach
In the pattern of the waves
Drawing pictures with my hand
In the sand I see your face

Skipping pebbles on the sea
Wishing for paradise
Sand castles crumble below
The restless tides ebb and flow

Listening to a shell
Hoping for your voice
Beautiful Maria of my soul
Of my soul

Though we'll always be apart
Locked forever in a dream
If I ever love again
Even then, nothing will change

And the taste of you remains
Clinging to paradise
But as the distance from you grows
All that my heart ever knows

Hunger for your kiss
Longing for your touch
Beautiful Maria of my soul
Filling all my nights

Haunting all my days
Beautiful Maria of my soul
Of my soul
Of my soul

. . .



Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on

Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today

Oh Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on

Wrong Man Theme

[No lyrics]

. . .



A hundred days and a thousand nights
In just one minute in the blue moonlight
Since you've gone away I hardly sleep
Since you left me girl, my heart can't find no peace
No peace

I was a man who stood strong and tall
Who could always run and never fall
Now I barely stand on my two feet
Maybe this could be my lonely destiny
Destiny

Can't figure out what's right or wrong
Don't know where this broken heart belongs
Belongs

Can't figure out what's right or wrong
Don't know where this broken heart belongs
Belongs

A hundred days and a thousand nights
In just one minute in the blue moonlight
Travelled through this life without a home
On these streets where I've been left to roam
To roam
To roam


. . .



Hey hey now baby, get into my big black car
Hey now baby, get into my big black car
I wanna just show you what my politics are

I pull to the left, but I'm leaning to the right
I pull to the left, but I'm leaning to the right
Don't come around me baby when it comes to a fight

I pull to the left, but I'm leaning to the right
I pull to the left, but I'm leaning to the right
Don't come around me baby when it comes to a fight


. . .



Zandu cracked the tile
With a pointed file
Could be heard for miles

Diamond cut the glass
Like a blade of grass
Nothing made to last
In the halls of Lu
In the new Zandu

In the halls of Lu
In the new Zandu

In the halls of Lu
In the new Zandu

In the halls of Lu
In the new Zandu

In the halls of Lu
In the new Zandu
