Second Hand News
I know there's nothing to say
Someone has taken my place
When times go bad
When times go rough
Won't you lay me down in the tall grass
And let me do my stuff?
I know I got nothing on you
I know there's nothing to do
When times go bad
A
nd you can't get enough
Won't you lay me down in the tall grass
And let me do my stuff?
One thing I think you should know
I ain't gonna miss you when you go
Been down so long
I've been tossed around enough
Couldn't you just
Let me go down and do my stuff
I know you're hoping to find
Someone who's gonna give you peace of mind
When times go bad
When times go rough
Won't you lay me down in the tall grass
And let me do my stuff?
I'm just second hand news
I'm just second hand news

Dreams
Now here you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well, who am I to keep you down
It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat... drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost..
And what you had..
And what you lost
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
Now here I go again
I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me who wants to
Wrap around your dreams and...
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness...
Like a heartbeat... drives you mad...
In the stillness of remembering what you had...
And what you lost
What you had
And what you lost
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

Never Going Back Again
She broke down and let me in
Made me see where I've been
Been down one time
Been down two times
I'm never going back again
You don't know what it means to win
Come down and see me again
Been down one time
Been down two times
I'm never going back again

Don't Stop
If you wake up and don't want to smile
If it takes just a little while
Open your eyes look at the day
You'll see things in a different way
Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
Why not think about the times to come
And not about the things that you've done
If your life was bad to you
Just think what tomorrow will do
Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
All I want is to see you smile
If it takes just a little while
I know you don't believe that it's true
I never meant any harm to you
Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
Don't you look back
Don't you look back

Go Your Own Way
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
You can call it
A
nother lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
Tell me why
Everything turned around
Packing up
Shacking up's all you wanna do
If I could
Maybe
I'd give you my world
Open up
Everything's waiting for you
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
A
nother lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way

Songbird
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
To you I'll give the world
To you I'll never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright
I know it's right
And the songbirds are singing
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before
And I wish you all the love in the world
But most of all, I wish it from myself
And the songbirds keep singing
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before
Like never before

The Chain
Listen to the wind blow
Watch the sun rise
Run in the shadows
Damn your love
Damn your lies
And if
You don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
We would never break the chain
Listen to the wind blow
Down comes the night
Run in the shadows
Damn your love
Damn your lies
Break the silence
Damn the dark
Damn the light
And if
You don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
We would never break the chain

You Make Loving Fun
Sweet, wonderful you
You make me happy with the things you do
Oh, can it be so
This feeling follows me wherever I go
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
Don't, don't break the spell
It would be different and you know it will
You, you make loving fun
And I don't have to tell you, but you're the only one
You make loving fun
You make loving fun

I Don't Want To Know
I don't want to know the reasons why
Love keeps right on walking on down the line
I don't want to stand 'tween you and love
Honey, I just want you to feel fine
Finally baby
The truth has come down now
Take a listen to your spirit
It's crying out loud
Trying to believe
Oh, you say you love me, but you don't know
You got me rocking and a-reeling
Oh
I don't want to know the reasons why
Love keeps right on walking on down the line
I don't want to stand between you and love, honey
I just want you to feel fine
I don't want to know the reasons why
Love keeps right on walking on down the line
I don't want to stand 'tween you and love
Honey, I just want you to feel fine
Finally, baby
The truth has been told
Now you tell me that I'm crazy
It's nothing that I didn't know
Trying to survive
Oh, you say you love me but you don't know
You got me rocking and a-reeling
I don't want to know the reasons why
Love keeps right on walking on down the line
I don't want to stand 'tween you and love
Honey, take a little time

Oh Daddy
Oh daddy
You know you make me cry
How can you love me
I don't understand why
Oh daddy
If I could make you see
If there's been a fool around
It's got to be me
Yes, it's got to be me
Oh daddy
You soothe me with your smile
You're letting me know
You're the best thing in my life
Oh daddy
If I could make you see
If there's been a fool around
Yes,
it's got to be me
Yes, it's got to be me
Why are you right when I'm so wrong
I'm so weak, but you're so strong
Everything you do is just all right
And I can't walk away from you, baby
Baby, if I try
Why are you right when I'm so wrong?
I'm so weak, but you're so strong (Felt so strong)
Everything you do is just all right
And I can't walk away from you
If I tried

Gold Dust Woman
Rock on, gold dust woman
Take your silver spoon
And
dig your grave
Heartless challenge
Pick your path, and I'll pray
Wake up in the morning
See your sunrise, loves to go down
Lousy lovers, pick their prey
But they never cry out loud
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
Rock on, ancient queen
Follow those who pale in your shadow
Rulers make bad lovers
You better put your kingdom up for sale
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

The last time I saw her
She didn't have anything to say
That hurts
Love has a funny way of turning things around
Doesn't anything last?
It was not so long ago that she loved me
She tried, but she couldn't understand, oh no
And time has a funny way of breaking down a man
Doesn't anything last?

Silver Springs
You could be my silver spring
Blue green colors flashing
I would be your only dream
Your shining autumn
Ocean crashing
And did you say she was pretty
And did you say that she loves you
Baby I don't want to know
I'll begin not to love you
Turn around
See me running
I said I loved you years ago
I tell myself
You never loved me, no
And did you say she was pretty
And did you say that she loves you
Baby I don't want to know
Oh, no
And can you tell me was it worth it
Really I don't want to know
Time casts its spell on you
But you won't forget me
I know I could have loved you
But you would not let me
Time casts its spell on you
But you won't forget me
I know I could have loved you
But you would not let me
I'll follow you down
Till the sound of my voice
Will haunt you
You'll never get away
From the sound
Of the woman that loves you
I'll follow you down
Till the sound of my voice
Will haunt you
You'll never get away
From the sound
Of the woman that loves you
I'll follow you down
Till the sound of my voice
Will haunt you
You'll never get away
From the sound
Of the woman that loves you
You could be my silver spring
Blue green colors flashing
