A Number And A Name
How many times have I read farewell lines
In the things
that you never seemed to say
How many times have I read those last lines
And wondered why it ended this way
Words of goodbye and all those loving lines
I must have
been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both
have changed with the passing of time
How you would write about the bright lights
And your words
always clouded up my eyes
How you would write about the bright lights
It's
a wonder that I never realized
Our race was run now another's just begun
I
must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the
name
Both have changed with the passing of time
When your letters stopped the tears that I fought
How they
came in the flood of memories
When your letters stopped the tears that I
fought
How they ran like the rivers to the seas
Each sunny day you slip
further away
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the
number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time
Break My Mind
Baby oh baby
Tell the man at the ticket stand that you've
changed your mind
Well let me run on out and tell the cab to keep his meter
flying
Cause if you say goodbye to me babe you're gonna break my mind
Break my mind
Break my mind
Well I just can't stand to
hear the big jet engines whine
Break my mind
Break my mind oh lord
Well
if you leave you're gonna leave a babbling fool behind
Baby oh baby
Well let me take your suitcase off of that
scale in time
Just tell the man that you suddenly developed a thing about
high flying
Cause if you say goodbye to me you know you're gonna break my
mind
Break my mind
Break my mind
Well I just can't stand to
hear the big jet engines whine
Break my mind
Break my mind oh lord
Well
if you leave you're gonna leave a babbling fool behind
Break my mind
Break my mind
Well I just can't stand to
hear the big jet engines whine
Break my mind
Break my mind oh lord
Well
if you leave you're gonna leave a babbling fool behind
Well if you leave
you're gonna leave a babbling fool behind
Lovesick Blues
I got a feeling called the blues oh Lord
Since my baby said
goodbye
And Lord I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and cry oh Lord
That last long day he said goodbye
Oh Lord I thought I would die
He'll do
you
He'll do me
He's got that kind of loving
Lord I love to hear him
when he calls me sweet mama
Such a beautiful dream
I'd hate to think it's
all over
I lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to him somehow
Well I'm nobody's sugar mama now
And I'm lonesome
I got the lovesick blues
Well I'm in love I'm in love and it's easy to say
That's
what's the matter with me
I'm in love I'm in love and it's easy to say
That he don't care about me
Well I tried and I tried to keep him satisfied
But he just wouldn't stay
And now that he is leaving
Well this is all I
can say
I got a feeling called the blues oh Lord
Since my baby said
goodbye
And Lord I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and cry oh Lord
I've grown so used to him somehow
Well I'm nobody's sugar mama now
And I'm
lonesome
I got the lovesick blues
Louise
Well they all said Louise was not half bad
It was written
on the walls and window shades
And how she'd act a little girl
A deceiver,
don't believe her, that's her trade
Sometimes a bottle of perfume
Flowers
and maybe some lace
Men brought Louise ten cent trinkets
Their intentions
were easily traced
Yes and everybody knew at times she cried
Ah but women
like Louise well they get by
Yes and everybody thought it kinda sad
When they found
Louise in her room
They'd always put her down below their kind
Still some
cried when she died this afternoon
Louise rode home on the mail train
Somewhere to the south I
heard her say
Too bad it ended so ugly
Too bad she had to go this way
Ah but the wind is blowing cold tonight
Well goodnight
Louise goodnight
Mental Revenge
Well I hope that the friend that you've thrown yourself on
Gets drunk and loses her job
And every road that you travel on
Is dusty
rocky and hard
I couldn't make you love me
You only made me blue
So all
in all if the curtain should fall
Then I hope that it falls on you
And I will have sweet
Sweet sweet mental revenge
I will
have sweet
Sweet sweet mental revenge
Well I hope that the train from Caribou, Maine
Runs over
your new love affair
You'll walk the floor from dawn to dawn
And you'll
tear out your peroxide hair
I never was your woman
Cause you were never true
So all
in all if the curtain should fall
Then I hope that it falls on you
And I will have sweet
Sweet sweet mental revenge
I will
have sweet
Sweet sweet mental revenge
I will have sweet
Sweet sweet
mental revenge
I will have sweet
Sweet sweet mental revenge
Crazy Arms
Now blue ain't the word for the way that I feel
And a storm
is brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that's it
real
You're someone else's love now, you're not mine
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
But my yearning
heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another
you'll be wed
That's why I'm lonely all the time
Please take these treasured dreams I had for you and me
And
take all the love I thought was mine
Someday my crazy arms will hold somebody
new
But right now I'm so lonesome I could die
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
But my yearning
heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another
you'll be wed
You're someone else's love now, you're not mine
Well you're
someone else's love now, you're not mine
Birds
Lover, there will be another one
To hover over you beneath
the sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come today
When you see me fly away without you
Shadow on the things
you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over
It's over
Nestle in your wings my little one
A special morning brings
another sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come today
When you see me fly away without you
Shadow on the things
you know
Feathers fall around you and show you the way to go
It's over
It's over
Desperado
Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses
You've been
out riding fences for so long now
Oh you're a hard one
But I know that
you've got your reasons
These things that are pleasing you will hurt you
somehow
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy
She'll beat you if
she's able
The queen of hearts is always your best bet
Well it seems to me
some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the
things that you can't get
Desperado
you know you ain't getting younger
Your pain
and your hunger are driving you home
And freedom, oh freedom
Well that's
just some people talking
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime
Sky won't snow
and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losing all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes
away
Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses
Come down
from your fences
Open the gate
It may be raining
But there's a rainbow
above you
You better let somebody love you
Let somebody love you
Before
it's too late
The Tattler
Whenever you find a man
That loves every woman he sees
There's always some kind of woman
That's putting him up a tree
Well that
kind of man he ain't got
As much sense as a mule
You know everyone don't
love you
They're just playing you for a fool
Oh no it's not hard for you to understand
True love can be
such a sweet harmony
If you do the best that you can
Now if you marry the wrong kind of woman
And you get where
you can't agree
Well you just as well forget your plan
Let that woman be
But a man ought to make a good husband
And quit trying to lead a fast life
Going about dressing up other women
Won't put clothes on his own wife
Oh no it's not hard for you to understand
True love can be
such a sweet harmony
If you do the best that you can
Well there's lots of good women want to marry
And they want
to live well at home
But they're 'fraid they'll get hold of some rowdy man
Can't let other women alone
And there's lots of good men want to marry
And
they want to live well at home
But every time they turn their back there's a
man there
Asking darling is he gone
Oh no it's not hard for you to understand
True love can be
such a sweet harmony
If you do the best that you can
True love can be such
a sweet harmony
If you do the best that you can
Crazy
I'm crazy
Crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
Crazy
for feeling blue
I know you'd love me as long as you wanted
Then someday
leave me for somebody new
Worry
Why should I let myself worry
Wondering
What in
the world did I do
I'm crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I'm
crazy for crying
And crazy for trying
And I'm crazy for loving you
Worry
Why do I let myself worry
Wondering
What in the
world did I do
I'm crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I'm
crazy for trying
And crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
