If I were a painting Captured on canvas Alone in the portriat I would stand And brush strokes bold Yet soft as a whisper The work of a feminine hand Caught in a still life Surrounded by shadows And lost in a background of blue If I were a painting My price would be pain And the artist would have to be you I imagine the colors Would all run together If you ever allowed me to cry So don't paint the tears Just let me remember me Without you in my eyes It's only the frame That holds me together Or else I would be falling apart If I were a painting I wouldn't feel And you wouldnt be breaking my heart

Why do people cry
When they hear the word goodbye
In a love song?
Tears are sure to fall
When you know they gave it all
In a love song.
Somehow two lovers get a chance
At a beautiful romance

No one seemed to notice the man beside the road
He was just a ragged soldier out there in the cold
But he seemed to have a purpose only known to him
As he walked along the streets that night through the town of Bethlahem.

In his head he held a memory of all the wars he'd known
In his hand he clutched a medal for the bravery he'd shown
And the weight of every battle he caried in his heart

I see the town
Where we were born,
I see the place
We were raised,

I see all the things you wanted
That I never gave.
I see sadness,

Are you sure I haven't loved you somewhere before?
In another time, another place, on some distant shore
You know me so well, better than I know myself

And you'll love me tonight
Like you've loved me all my life, all my life
And with the touch of your hand
You took me farther than I've never been

Always and forever, each moment with you
It?s just like a dream to me that somehow came true
And I know tomorrow will still be the same
?Cause we got a life of love that won't ever change

Every day, lend me your own special way
Melt my heart away with a smile
Take time to tell me you really care

Little boy, in a baseball hat,
Stands in a field, with his ball and bat,
says "I am the greatest, player of them all"
puts his bat on his shoulder, and tosses up his ball.

And the ball goes up, and the ball comes down,
he swings his bat all the way around,
and the worlds so still you can hear the sound

Let´s go out in a blaze of glory
All good things must end
Like two heros in a story
Let's go out like we came in
In a blaze of glory

Here we are broken-hearted
We thought our love would never end

Now if the aim in your life is to settle me down,
I couldn't change my point of view;
I got a lady in red at the back of my head,
But the woman in white is you.

Do you want to be the only one,
Fade away in the morning sun?
I could love you all of my life;

No rain and the weather got warm
Broke down and I sold my farm
Headed for the silver strike
I took my wife, Calico silver gave us life

You could hear the miners sing
When they made their hammers ring
You could hear them singing out

He was born so far away
So the story's told
We remember Christmas Day
When winter days grow cold

With the time it passes by
We put away the trim
Then we live and wonder why

Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county.
He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong.
His mama named him Tommy, the folks just called him yellow,
But something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong.

He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison.
I took care of Tommy 'cause he was my brother's son.
I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy:

While she lays sleeping, I stay out late at night and play my songs
And sometimes all the nights can be so long
And it's good when I finally make it home, all alone
While she lays dreaming, I try to get undressed without the light
And quietly she says "how was your night?"
And I come to her and say, "it was all right," and I hold her tight
And she believes in me, I'll never know just what she sees in me
I told her someday, if she was my girl, I could change the world

When the lights go down and the music gets pretty
Get that cheek-to-cheek look in your eye
Little boy, go, better grab your honey
Girl, you'd better grab your guy

It's time for dream, dream dancing
Dream, dream dancing

Farther I go

I took a boat, I took a plane
Halfway around the world on a train
New York to Orleans, Japan to Tibet
But the farther I go, the closer you get
And I can't get you out of my mind
All these years to forget, all these miles in jet

Now just look, the whole tow-own
Has turned out today
To say a last prayer for me
And Lord only knows
How surprised they would be
If they knew I could see them
And I could hear what they say
Whoa, if they knew I could see them

Did you ever get a feeling of dread?
That everything they’re saying’s not
All that they’ve said
Why do they want to take us to war, yeah
Why do they wanna put us
In a government’s war?
There’s all this fighting and we
Don’t know what for

Have you been listening
(Listen to the music)
Have you been sleeping
(The sermon's in the music)

(The man standing next to you)
(He must surely be your brother)

How long ‘till I touch you
‘Til I hold you, ‘till I see you again
'Cause I've been searchin' forever
And forever, on me you can depend.

I've been waitin' for a girl like you
One that I can call my own
Tell me if this dream of mine will come true

Wise man say
only fools rush in.
But I can't help
falling in love with you.
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin?
If I can't help
falling in love with you.

Postcards and letters
And pictures made to last forever
To be boxed up and tossed away
Knickknacks and souvenirs
In an afternoon, they're out of here
They'll disappear without a trace
But what they mean to me
Can never be replaced

I woke up this morning with the sun out shining in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag but then
I tripped on a cloud and fell eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed in
I watched myself crawling out now, as I came crawling in
I got up so tight I couldn't unwind

Are the stars out tonight
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
Cause I only have eyes for you dear

The moon maybe high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
Cause I only have eyes for you

When tempting eyes across the road
Said to me I'd love to be with you
I'm not tempted for a moment
I just think about my woman
The baby calls me on the phone
Telling me I need to hurrily home
Well the hurrying is easy
Because she's waiting up

I swear by the the moon
And the stars in the sky
And i swear like the
Shadow that's by your side
I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's waiting on your mind
You can be sure i know my part
'cause i stand beside you through the years

Words couldn't hold her
I found out I couldn't control her
She left me for something I could give
Now I live my life still loving her
But I go through life not having her
I wasn't man enough for my woman.

Days spending fear

I saw you tonight
In the room where love had started once beforeAnd we opened up the skies
With your loving eyesYou take me back where you belong in my heart

One love frozen in time
Never be a bad love
Yours and mine
But I still remainI will never change

Oh, I wish that I could hurt that way again
At least I had you every now and then
And in between the sorrow
At least there was tomorrow
And as long as there's tomorrow
There's no end
Oh, I wish that I could hurt that way again.

By the time you read this letter
I'll be gone
I'm not the man I was when I left home
By the time you see my face
I will have aged
Much more than the passing of the days

This many miles might as well be the moon

If I were a painting
Captured on canvas
Alone in the portrait I would stand
And brush strokes bold
Yet soft as a whisper
The work of a feminine hand

Caught in a still life

(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

I woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag, but then...
I tripped on a cloud and fell eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

Lady, I'm your knight in shining armor and I love you.
You have made me what I am and I am yours.
My love, there's so many ways I want to say I love you.
Let me hold you in my arms forever more.

You have gone and made me such a fool,
I'm so lost in your love.
And oh, we belong together.

Lady

Lady, I'm your knight in shining armor and I love you
You have made me what I am and I'm yours
My love, there's so many ways I want to say I love you
Let me hold you in my arms forever more

Traveling down a different road
Trying hard to leave the load
We take it there but we can't let go
It's so hard to lay it down

Back in Eden we were tried
Found ourselves dissatisfied
Seeking wisdom that she denied

LEDY

Lady, I'm your knight in shining armor and I love you
You have made me what I am and I am yours
My love, there's so many ways I want to say I love you
Let me hold you in my arms forever more

You have gone and made me such a fool

Come, they told me, pa-rum pum pum pum
Our newborn King to see, pa-rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa-rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa-rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
So to honor Him, pa-rum pum pum pum
When we come
Little baby, pa-rum pum pum pum

Like a leaf caught in the wind
He drifted a while
With no purpose or direction to his life
He tried to get himself together
And pacify his mind
And forget about the things he left behind

The cryin' woman

Show me a bar with a good lookin woman
Then just get out of my way
Show me the jukebox, I'll tell you a song you should play
Sooner a later a few shots of bourbon
And I'll think of somethin to say
Whoa, I can take her or leave her
But I like to take her away

You can run you can hide never let it inside
Keep livin your life in the dark
But sooner or later that gentle persuader
Is gonna catch up with your heart
Make you a dreamer, believer
Believin in love

Right when a mans doin all that he planned

In a bar in Toledo across from the depot on a bar stool she took off her ring I thought i'd get closer so I walked on over I sat down and asked her name When the drinks finally hit her she said I'm no quitter but I finally quit livin on dreams I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after I'm after what-ever the other life brings In the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him I thought how he looked out of place He came to the woman who sat there be-side me he had a strange look on his face The big hands were calloused he looked like a mountain for a minute I thought I was dead But he started shaking his big heart was breaking he turned to the woman and said You picked a fine time to leave me Lu-cille with four hungry children and a crop in the field I've had some bad times lived through some sad times but this time your hurting won't heal you picked a fine time to leave me Lu-cille. After he left us I ordered more whisky I thought how she'd made him look small From the lights of the bar room to a rented ho-tel room we walked without talking at all She was a beauty but when she came to me she must have thought I'd lost my mind I couldn't hold her 'cos the words that told her kept coming back time after time Chorus

Morgana was a middle aged woman
She was ugly as she could
Looking for a kid about half her age
To show him what there was to see
Morgana knew more tricks than Houdini
She could make a blind man see
Make a crippled man run along
High hurdles and Morgana's coming after me.

Here it is seven in the a.m.
It's gonna take more then wakin' to rise me
I wake up with this need again
But feel the love of the woman beside me

It's just one of those days
When I wanna lay here with her
And love her before I leave

Who's gonna save us all
Nothing and nobody but you
Who's gonna make me whole
Nothing and nobody but you
Can't change me, sway me
Don't know what to make of me
You got my devotion fanatical though it may be
I love your mind, heart, body and soul

Back when my friend and I were younger
And I still remember when we were teens
We got it in our middle of our
Bedroom when it takes too strange

A strange of older boy with
A working class still
And building country music

No one could ever say that I didn't try to say what once was mine
Oh girl, you once were my whole life
But I don't think time will ever let love be the master of our destiny
Oh, if that's the way it must be

Then there'll be no dreams for me tonight
No more grass schemes to try to make you mine
'Cause no dreams are gonna change the way you feel

Excuse me ma'm, I'd like your daughter's hand for the evenin'
There's a new band in town, I'd like to take her down to see 'em
The fiddle player used to be my neighbour
And he never slept a day in his life
He plays a Strawberry Roan
When he gets goin' he can play all night

And her mama said, he's a no good Texas cowboy, child

She's young and soft and kind
And she deserves a whole lot better
Than a guitar picking drifter
Who never gave a damn

And if loving me is all she ever wants
So I'm gonna let her
And I'll try to be the kind of man

If they call me for me and wonder where I am
Just tell them I'm not feeling good today
If they don't believe you, I don't give a damn
Because i just might pick up the phone and said:

I'm just putting in a little bit of over time at home
Ill be putting in a little bit of over time at home
If there is anything on earth I feel for me to do

I watched every sun up comin' over my tin cup
Seen every moon changin' while I slept with the sky
Felt the chill in the north wind, find holes that I can't mend
This West Texas cowboy is wrest less again

Campfire light dancin' on the smiles of some good friends
Wearin' the hard times in the lines on their faces
Now the seasons are changin' and it's time I was leavin'

While she lay sleeping
I stayed out late at night and play my songs
And sometimes all the night can be so long
That's good and I finally make it home all alone
While she lays dreaming
I try to get undressed without the light
And quietly she says
How was your nights

I can't tell you why I love her
I don't even know myself
All I know is she gives me feelings
I can't get from anyone else

She told me that I could easily fly
Here I am believin' and I don't know why

The sandman told me he’s done all he can
The situation calls for more than sand
You’ve been crying all night long
Tossing and turning and it’s almost done.

I am here, I’m gonna help you sleep
Count on me instead of counting sheet
Close your eyes and leave the rest to me.

Mornin' sunshine through the curtain
Throws a Rorschach on my wall
Wakin' up wide asleep
I try unravelling it all
By all rights I should be dead
From this bullet hole in my head
Oddly enough I seem to be alive
Greatly dismayed I discover

I never thought that it would end this way
Somehow it'd always go home
And yet this morning when I reached for her
She was gone.
I never asked for any promises
I knew she'd always be there
I swear somebody must be loving at me somewhere.

Starting again

Pretending again
I think we both know this is the end
We can try it again
But we better face it
Losing again
I know we both thought this time we'd win

Sing a song sweet music man 'cause I won't be there
To hold your hand like I used to, I'm through with you
You're a heck of a singer and powerful man but you surround yourself
With people who demand so little of you

You touched my soul with your beautiful song
You even had me singin' along right with you, you said
"I need you", then you changed the words and added harmony

Tell it all brother, before we fall
Tell it all brothers and sisters
Tell it all
How much you're holding back on me
When you say you're giving all?
And in the dungeons of your mind
Who you got chained to the wall?
Tell it all brother, before we fall

On a warm summer`s evenin` on a train bound for
nowhere,
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired
to sleep.
So we took turns a starin` out the window at the
darkness
`Til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak.

On a warm summers evening, on a train bound for nowhere
I met up with a gambler, we were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns at staring out the window at the darkness
The boredom overtook us and he began to speak

He said, son I've made a life out of reading people's faces
And knowing what the cards were, by the way they held their eyes
So if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces

Baby, I've made up my mind
And take all the good life that I've found
I promise myself, if I was to make it
I had to do the best that I can
Oh, 'cause the good life is all that I am.

I know problems will come
But I know I can make it with you by my side

"The Greatest"

Little boy in a baseball hat stands in the field with his ball and bat
Says, "I am the greatest player of them all"
Puts his bat in his shoulder and he tosses up his ball.
And the ball goes up and the ball comes down,
Swings his bat all the way around
The world so still you can hear the sound, the baseball falls to the ground.

Down in Sunflower County where I was born
Used to be a crazy woman
Used to walk bare footed down a gravel road
Singin' in an unknown tongue

One day I asked her Papa why she was crazy
The tears welled up in his eyes
He said, "The Devil's inside my poor baby

1985: прелюдия перед первым занятием любовью Иден и Круза. Любовная сцена после вечеринки по случаю окончания судебного разбирательства по делу Теда. (???)
1985 : Preliminaries at the fisrt time Eden and Cruz make love - Love scene after the party to celebrate the end of Ted's trial

From the moment I met you,
You made my life complete.
This wave of pure devotion,
Has swept me off my feet.

And tonight when we kissed,
You still took my breath away.
It goes without saying,

There's an old man in our town
And I guess he's been around
For years and years
At least it seems that way.

Wrinkled hands and rocking chair
Growing old just sitting there
Every year he had the sing

The train is comin' at six -oh - five
And I'll be gettin' on it to take a long ride
Back to an apartment so empty inside
With loneliness the only thing that's waiting

I bought my ticket today
I just paid for one way
The price was too high for returning

One time I drove to see a girl across the country
One night as I was driving through to Mexico
I had the windows wide open
It was cold and I was crying
And I later laid her on the radio
Then I stopped that side of Tahoe
Through this tiny mining town
At a diner to be filled for the ride

She was into loving me i was into being free
No one woman was ever going to
Get me to settle down
I chase a new one every day
I let the good ones slip away
Come all dressed up and I got nothing to do

Fallin' in love with the wrong one

It's been a long time since I walked
Through this old town
But oh how the memories start to flow
And there's the old movie house
They finally closed it down
You could find me there every Friday night
Twenty years ago.

You might think I`m crazy carry on this way
Calling you up in the middle of the night
But I`ve got something that I just can`t wait to stay.

I`ve got two good reasons I`ve been thinking of
Two good reasons why we should be in love
Come on, baby, it`s so plain to see
I`ve got two good reasons about you and me.

I wish you were with me tonight
Right here in my arms
It's hard to put my mind to rest
Not knowing where you are.

The city lights have a thousand eyes
That follow in the stares
It's midnight now

We were all we ever wanted
Before there was a single brick in this wall
That keeps the distance here between us
We built ourselves a life and we forgot
We already had it all

When we made love, we made love
Baby, we had something

We knew it was one in a million
It was such a long shot
Somehow we've got here together
And who knows what will happen
Anything can happen
If we keep getting better
And we keep on believing.

I don't want to read the paper this morning
I don't want to hear no busy city sounds
There's so many things that's so much more important
And they're the only things worth thinkin' bout

Why don't go somewhere and love
It's been a long long time
Why don't we just go somewhere and love

I was standing by my window,
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, lord, by and by
There’s a better home a-waiting

It must've been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You've being content to let me shine
You always walked a step behind.

And I was the one with all the groovy
You were the one with all the strain
Only a face without a name

Life's winding road is maybe lonely
We may never pass this way again
So let's be friends.

I know our problems come between us
But there's one thing you must understand
I wanna be your man.

All my life was a paper
Once plain, pure and white
Till you moved with your pen
Changing moods now and then
Till the balance was right

Then you added some music
Every note was in place

Леди, я люблю тебя, ведь я твой верный рыцарь,
Лишь позволь тебе мне это доказать.
Леди, навсегда хочу с твоим дыханьем слиться,
И тебя в своих объятиях держать.

Ты ушла, но я остался ждать, скажи мне, что не зря…
О, мы должны быть вместе в той песне, что придумал я…
