As soon as you are able
Woman I am willing
To make the break that we
Are on the brink of
My cup is on the table
Our love is spilling
Waiting here for you to
Take and drink of

So if you're tired of the
Same old story
Turn some pages
I'll be here when you are ready
To roll with the changes

I knew it had to happen
Felt the tables turnin'
Got me through my darkest hour
I heard the thunder clappin'
Felt the desert burnin'
Until you poured on me
Like a sweet sunshower

So if you're tired of the
Same old story
Turn some pages
I'll be here when you are ready
To roll with the changes


Roll with the changes

. . .


I've been around for you
I've been up and down for you
But I just can't get any relief
I've swallowed my pride for you
I've lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief

You got me stealin' your love away
'Cause you never give it
Peeling the years away
And we can't relive it
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly

You said we'd work it out
You said that you had no doubt
That deep down we were really in love
Oh, but I'm tired of holding on
To a feeling I know is gone
I do believe that I've had enough

I've had enough of the falseness
Of a worn out relation
Enough of the jealousy
And the intoleration
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly

{Refrain} Time for me to fly
Oh, I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
And that's just how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly

Oh, don't you know it's...
{Refrain}

It's time for me to fly
{Repeat to end}

. . .


First you say one thing then you say another.
I don't know the difference, were you lyin' to me baby?
But it seems to me you got yourself in a bind.

Always on the road playin' your guitar.
Leaving me at home for cryin' out loud.
Wish you could see babe that you're runnin' blind, yeah!

Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'

Well it's time for you to play all that you can say
Is "Get out of my way. Don't be in the way"
Always hear you screamin'
I know you're just dreamin' of leavin' it all behind.

Hands keep goin' up and down
Eyes are turnin' around and around
Your goin' crazy and nobody minds

Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'

Oooooo! You can't go on runnin' blind!

Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'

Sooner or later you will find a way
To feel like sunshine even on a cloudy day
To feel like morning in the dead of night
Sooner or later it's gonna be all right.

Now don't go thinking your life's a mess
Rather start thinkin' in terms of happiness

And it's gonna happen
Just decide were you're goin'
Get out in the open
And start blazin' your own trail again


It takes time sometimes to figure out
That there's nothing to worry about
And that there's plenty to be thankful for
It takes time sometimes to know the score

See everybody's got a smile inside
So put it upon your face and wear it with pride

And it's gonna happen
Just decide were you're goin'
Get out in the open
And start blazin' your own trail again

. . .


Sundown, summer is fading.
Run now, here the winter comes.
Deep down, in some snowdrift.
Frozen fire, thought you found the lift.

It's a showdown, it's a Mexican standoff.
And the river, is the prize.
To float away on her current,
To the sea lover, to the sea.

And I know there's a song in the wind to the sky.
And I know there's a song somewhere for you and I.
What I don't know is if we'll hear it.
I'm losin' spirit, woman sing to me.

. . .


"Lucky" I call you 'cus that's the way you make me feel.
Love in the air and the wind in my hair is makin' me real.
Look out Lucky there's a mountain in front of you.
And with a little luck we'll see it thru.
What's lucky for me is lucky for you.

I used to think that luck was just another four letter word.
But now that I found you it's the finest one I've ever heard.
Do you see the stars now do you Lucky?
They're not all that far, now are they Lucky?
What's lucky for you, is lucky for me,
And what's lucky for me, is lucky for you.

. . .


Do you know where your woman is tonight?
Do you know if she's sleepin' alone tonight?
Well, you might be right and you might be wrong
when you say you trust her alone.
But this rock 'n roll road has led you far into the night.
Do you know where your woman is tonight?

So you think you know where your woman spends her time
And you think you know her every rhythm and rhyme
Well, I thought so too, baby, long a ago
But now I know how a blind man sees.
'Cause this rock 'n roll road has led you far into the night.
Do you know where your woman is tonight?

. . .

The Unidentified Flying Tuna Trot

[No lyrics]

. . .


Here I come again
I don't really care to turn back
Trying to find you directions
But I seem to be losin' track

I believe we ought to make a run for it
just to see how far we can go
I ain't just around for the fun of it
But until you try it, baby, you'll never know so...

Say you love me or say goodnight
Say we've made up or on with the fight
'Cause there's no love lying' in the eyes of the night so,
Say you love me or say goodnight

There's no use hangin' on a memory
No good livin' a lie
I got no use for mediocrity
You know tonight's the night
We either do it or die
