"Well I've been afraid of changin' 'Cause I've built my life around you. But time makes you bolder, Even children get older. And I'm getting older too."
"When times go bad, When times go rough, Won't you lay me down in tall grass And let me do my stuff?"
"Thunder only happens when it's raining; Players only love you when they're playing. Say... Women... they will come and they will go. When the rain washes you clean... you'll know."

"Loving you Isn't the right thing to do. How can I ever change things That I feel? If I could, Maybe I'd give you my world. How can I When you won't take it from me?You can go your own way. Go your own way."
"For you, there'll be no more crying, For you, the sun will be shining. And I feel that when I'm with you, It's alright, I know it's right."
"And if You don't love me now, You will never love me again. I can still hear you saying You would never break the chain."
"I never did believe in miracles, But I've a feeling it's time to try. I never did believe in the ways of magic, But I'm beginning to wonder why."
"Did she make you cry? Make you break down? Shatter your illusions of love? Is it over now, do you know how? Pick up the pieces and go home."
"I don't hold you down Maybe that's why you're around. But if I'm the one you love, Think about me. I believe that you really want me But it's not easy, just to give in. So let yourself go, and let love begin."
"Drowning in the sea of love, Where everyone would love to drown. And now it's gone. It doesn't matter anymore. When you build your house, Call me home."
"So I close my eyes softly 'Til I become that part of the wind That we all long for sometime, yeah And to those that I love, like a ghost through a fog Like a charmed hour and a haunted song And the angel, angel of my dreams"
"You look at me with those brown eyes What do you want to do? Do you have to have me The way that I want you?"
"Honey, honey, honey Who could be sweeter than you Honey, honey, honey Bitter sweet, but what can I do Lord, it's good to talk to you Even sweeter than wine Don't take the love light away Cause I'm far away from home"
"So I'm back, to the velvet underground, Back to the floor, that I love. To a room with some lace and paper flowers. Back to the gypsy that I was; To the gypsy...that I was."
"There's nobody in the future, So baby let me hand you my love. There's no step for you to dance to, So slip your hand inside of my glove."
"If I live to see the seven wonders, I'll make a path to the rainbow's end. I'll never live to match the beauty again."

"I understand you've been running from the man That goes by the name of the Sandman. He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye Of a hurricane that's abandoned."
"I've been through the desert on a horse with no name. It felt good to be out of the rain. In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain."
"After nine days I let the horse run free 'Cause the desert had turned to sea. There were plants and birds and rocks and things, There was sand and hills and rings. The ocean is a desert with its life underground, And a perfect disguise above. Under the cities lies a heart made of ground, But the humans will give no love."
"We used to laugh, we used to cry. We used to bow our heads, then wonder why. And now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on. And make the best of what you've left to me; Left to me, left to me.I need you like the flower needs the rain. You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again. You know I need you like the winter needs the spring. You know I need you, I need you."
"Whenever it's a rainy day I pack my troubles up in my room. I chase all the clouds away; I get myself back to the womb.But I know that you're gonna cry. Tears are runnin' from your eyes. The piece of my life you take Is one that so often breaks."
"Ventura Highway in the sunshine. Where the days are longer The nights are stronger than moonshine. You're gonna go I know.'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair. And the days surround your daylight there. Seasons crying no despair Alligator lizards in the air, in the air."
"To each his own it's plain to see; To walk alone you have to be. It's all for you and all for me, you'll see.I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will. No matter who you are, I'll love you still. For my life is my conscience, the seeds I sow. I just wanted to let you know."
"Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide. Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side. All your life You were on your own."

"This is for all the lonely people Thinking that life has passed them by. Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup And ride that highway in the sky.This is for all the single people Thinking that love has left them dry. Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup You never know until you try."
"Well I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself undressed. I ain't ready for the altar but I do agree there's times When a woman sure can be a friend of mine.Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise. And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes? I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind."
"Amber cascades all over today. Then we walk on a crooked catwalk Only to be delayed. Bubbles of blue burst into two Eaten up by the incoming tide Of the new.Then we call to the man who walks on the water. We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view. It's in view."
"Hold me close. You turn nighttime into day. And you're the most Brightest star that lights my way.So come home to me now. 'Cause it won't matter anyhow. I've got this feeling that today's the day. I've got this feeling today's the day."

"As I was walking down the street one day, A man came up to me and asked me what The time was that was on my watch, yeah...And I said...(I don't) Does anybody really know what time it is? (Care) Does anybody really care (about time)? If so I can't imagine why (Oh no, no) We've all got time enough to cry."
"When I'm with you, it doesn't matter where we are Or what we're doing. I'm with you, that's all that matters. Time passes much too quickly when we're together laughing. I wish I could sing it to you, oh no. I wish I could sing it to you."
"I'd like to know Can you tell me - please don't tell me It really doesn't matter anyhow It's just that the thought of us so happy Appears in my mind, as a beautifully mysterious thing"
"Children play in the park, they don't know I'm alone in the dark, even though Time and time again I see your face smiling inside.I'm so happy That you love me. Life is lovely When you're near me. Tell me you will stay, Make me smile."
"As time goes on, I realize Just what you mean To me. And now, Now that you're near, Promise your love That I've waited to share. And dreams Of our moments together Colour my world With hope of loving you."
"Waiting for the break of day, Searching for something to say. Dancing lights against the sky. Giving up I close my eyes Sitting cross-legged on the floor, Twenty five or six to four."
"Every day just gets a little shorter, don't you think? Take a look around you and you'll see just what I mean. People got to come together, not just out of fear.Where do we go, Where do we go, Where do we go from here?"
"Are you optimistic About the way that things are going? No, I never ever think of it at all.Don't you ever worry When you see what's going down? Well, I try to mind my business. That is, no business at all."

"And I'd like to change my life, and you know I would Just to be with you tonight, baby, if I could. But I've got my job to do, and I do it well (Change my life, change my life) So I guess that's how it is.Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here. Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here."
"Wish I knew what was going wrong, Seems so very long since we laughed together. It's no good to be all alone. When you hurt a friend, And you both feel empty.What I'd give to erase the pain, Will we ever make friends? Is it over or shall we try again? For a brand new love affair."
"Old days, Good times I remember. Fun days, Filled with simple pleasure. Drive-in movies, Comic books and blue jeans, Howdy Doody, Baseball cards and birthdays.Take me back To a world gone away Memories Seem like yesterday."

"I don't want you to misunderstand me, I just want to say what's on my mind. No need to hit me with an attitude Because I haven't got the time.

Some things stay the same, And some are due for change. I thought I had them all nailed down, But you turned it around.Oh, you did it, you did it, you did it, you did it.

"She'll only come out at night, The lean and hungry type. Nothing is new, I've seen her here before. Watching and waiting. Ooh, she's sitting with you, but her eyes are on the door.

One on one I know I wanna play that One on one I wanna play that game tonight One on one so slow."
"Shake it up is all that we know, Using the bodies up as we go. I'm waking up to fantasy. The shades all around aren't the colors we used to see. Broken ice still melts in the sun And times that are broken can often be one again We're soul alone, And soul really matters to me. Take a look around.You're out of touch, I'm out of time. But I'm out of my head When you're not around."

"Each one of the world’s teachers when they come are misunderstood, and the first thing we do is strike out at them, behead them, hang them on a cross or whatever. Here mankind waits thousands of years for the coming of someone to help the unity of mankind, and then when he comes, they throw him in jail for 40 years and torture him. I was more or less trying to speak for the human race — presumptuous, I know — saying we were sorry."
