Hearts

Flying me back to Memphis
Gotta find my Daisy Jane
Well, the summer’s gone
And I hope she’s feeling the same
Well I left her just to roam the city
Thinking it would ease the pain
I’m a crazy man
And I’m playing my crazy game, game

Does she really love me?
I think she does
Like the stars above me
I know, because
When the sky is bright
Everything’s alright

Flying me back to Memphis
Honey, keep the oven warm
All the clouds are clearing
And I think we’re over the storm
Well, I’ve been picking it up around me
Daisy I think I’m sane
But I’m awful glad
And I guess you’re really to blame, blame

Do you really love me?
I hope you do
Like the stars above me
How I love you
When it’s cold at night
Everything’s alright

Does she really love me?
I think she does
Like the stars above me
I know, because
When the sky is bright
Everything’s alright

I’m only half a man
When I’m not by your side
I try to make a plan
And I don’t try to hide

So come on over closer to me
And everything will be just like it should be

Why don’t you help me?
Please don’t stand on your pride
I feel so empty
Why don’t you let me inside?

So come on over closer to me
And everything will be just like it should be

You (you, you, you)
Set my soul on fire
You (you, you, you)
Fill me with desire
Whenever I’m near you

I’m only half a man
When I’m not by your side
I try to make a plan
And I don’t try to hide

So come on over closer to me
And everything will be just like it should be

Midnight rolling in
Sunlight reaching out
For your return

As you were running through the tunnel of life
And soon you’ll dance around the fire of fright tonight

When you’re standing on the corner
And the sun is getting hot
Does this day begin to worry you a lot?

You are what you are
Too far, golden star
A ruby light

As you were running through the tunnel of life
And soon you’ll dance around the fire of fright tonight

When you’re standing on the corner
And the sun is getting hot
Does the day begin to worry you a lot?

Eyes holdin’ back the tears
That they’ve held for years

How can I tell you?
I don’t want to make you cry
Why should I even try?
Why should I even try?

Days, where’d you go so fast?
Finally lost at last

How can I tell you?
I don’t want to let you down
Why should I even try?
Why should I even try?

How can I tell you?
I don’t want to let you down
Why should I even try?
Why should I even try?

Hey honey, won’t you sit down and stop here for a spell?
Singin’ sweet, low lullabies to forget about your health
Don’t think about tomorrow, it’s a cold night’s sleep away
Sure would be pleased to have you stay

And it’s reach out, old Virginia, won’t you rock him close to you?
The poor boy’s had a hotel so long, he don’t know what to do
It’s time to come on home and put your feet up for a while
So much travelin’ ’round tends to take away your smile

‘Pears to me it’s all a body can do to stay in tune
And you’ve been strainin’ at those strings from mornin’ ’til noon
So come on down and hang around, it’ll put you right real soon
‘Cause nothing’s changed, it’s all the same

Reach out, old Virginia, won’t you rock him close to you?
The poor boy’s had a hotel so long, he don’t know what to do
It’s time to come on home and put your feet up for a while
So much travelin’ ’round can take away your smile

Reach out, old Virginia, won’t you rock him close to you?
The poor boy’s had a hotel so long, he don’t know what to do
It’s time to come on home and put your feet up for a while
So much travelin’ ’round can take away your smile

Some came down to hang out by the river
Others were waiting to find the night
We stood long just waiting for the picture
Looking at people to see what was right

Soon came the people from over in the valley
Hundreds of them walking towards us in the rain
Then we turned around and hid out in the alley
Met along the stones down Tomorrow Day Lane

Take away the road and no one will remember
How many journeys we etched in the stone
Friends around will take away the wonder
Sharing a moment of being alone

Soon came the people from over in the valley
Hundreds of them walking towards us in the rain
Then we turned around and hid out in the alley
Met along the stones down Tomorrow Day Lane

Ba ba ba ba ba ba…

Some can see it’s poetry
Come as you are in your broken car, the company
Carousel is wishing well
As a wonder night that spoke delight to the company

Can you hear the summer calling you?
Can you hear him call you now?
Can you hear the summer calling you?
Can you hear him call you now?

Broken dream, just a token scheme
Silver man with a telegram for the company
Scalding blue, come talk to you
Search the cave for the grave of the company

Can you hear the summer calling you?
Can you hear him call you now?
Can you hear the summer calling you?
Can you hear him call you now?

Can you hear the summer calling you?
Can you hear him call you now?
Can you hear the summer calling you?
Can you hear him call you now?

Can you hear the summer calling you?
Can you hear him call you now?
Can you hear the summer calling you?
Can you hear him call you now?

Oh, hold me tight
Won’t you be my woman tonight?
Oh, hold me tight
Won’t you be my woman tonight?

I get the shivers up and down my spine
The only time I’m happy’s when I know she’s mine
So hold, hold me tight

Treat me right
Won’t you be my woman tonight?
So treat me right
Won’t you be my woman tonight?

First I see you and then you let me go
The only time I touch you’s when you don’t wanna know
So hold, hold me tight, all right

Hold me tight
Hold me tight
Won’t you be my woman tonight
Hold me tight
Won’t you be my woman tonight

I get the shivers up and down my spine
The only time I’m happy’s when I know she’s mine
So, hold, hold me tight
Hold me tight, woman tonight

Boy, please don’t throw away your life
All the joy, please don’t end it with a knife
‘Cause you know there’s hope for you

I was alone like the silence in the night
I had no home, no one close to hold me tight
But you know there’s hope for you, for you

Everywhere I look I see your face
Every step I take seems out of place
You got to be a man to run the race
I’m not a hopeless man, how can you say I am?

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 thinking about 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’ve been too, too hard to find
But it doesn’t mean you ain’t been on my mind

Will you meet me in the middle
Will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little
Just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it
I don’t mind sayin’
I just can’t make it

Time goes on
People burning candles
Will I ever see you tomorrow?

When will I ever be home from across the sea?
When will I ever be free?
When will it ever be, oh Lord, just you and me?
When will I ever be free?

Life goes on
People turning handles
Making sure I’ll be here tomorrow

When will I ever be home from across the sea?
When will I ever be free?
When will it ever be, oh Lord, just you and me?
When will I ever be free?

When will I ever be home from across the sea?
When will I ever be free?

When will I ever be free?

First came the winter and then came the morning
Bright coral branches that pass you again
Down from the meadow and onto the seashore
Came the vast checkerboard kingdom of men

Sun radiates gold infrarays
Time to prepare for the fall
Harvest the corn, watch for the storm
Soon we will hear winter call
Ice on the pond, won’t stay too long
Too thin to walk it today
Ice on the pond, something went wrong
Frost must be lost on the way

Evening is falling, the tree is a silhouette
As seen by the teddy bear watching his den
Spring came so quickly that I did not see her
Just turn around and she’s coming again

Wind chimes along, rising at dawn
Seasons in circles too match
Each comes along, singing his song
Burying thoughts of the past
