LEITMOTIF Every single night When I turned out the light I always dreamed of being your baby Take my heart to the junkyard It ain't no use to me Fine, fine wine glasses clinking Fine does the journey of love make you feel Before you depart You'll mortgage your heart Thinking love is real Thinking love is real Thinking love is real As your poor heart grows older It comes to such sights colder By and by nor spare a sigh Such sights colder Worlds of leafmeal lie And yet you'll weep and know why There's a place I would like to be A place just right for me Where you hear the stir of leaves Up in the mesquite trees And in the diamond sky The coyote's cry Is riding on the breeze When you're gone forevermore The sun shines as before And the grass on the hill grows green Gone is all the love that we once knew Gone are all the days we used to know If you lay your love to rest, I'll bury mine As I sit and sip my cherry wine I'm giving up these lonely days forever Though people say I'm gonna wind up blue Everybody tells me I'm just another guy And I will never make you love me It's just my turn to cry But there's a part of this town I know you've never seen And there's a part of your heart you don't even know is there Let me show you where Oh, Lorelei, I know I, I, I Could make you love me if you'd only let me try I used to be able to hear a kind of music When there was nobody there I'd simply listen to the air And I'd hear my own music hall Though I knew there was nothing there at all But I can't hear it anymore The years have passed away And the only time I hear it Is in dreams, in dreams, in dreams, at night Sunday, you've got it in spades over every other day 'Cause you were meant to laze away And every Sunday rain or shine I always spend my time Kicking back in Mulligan's craft beer brewery and saloon Listening to my honey croon Forgetting all my troubles They can't touch me Whiling away the afternoon WINE ON THE DESERT Instrumental/No lyrics ALL FOR THE LOVE OF CORINA When I was twenty-one My life had just begun And I met a girl named Corina And nothing I could do And nothing I could say Would ever be enough for me to win her heart And so it came to be Nothing meant a thing to me Nothing but the love of Corina And everything I'd do Every breath I drew Was all for the love of Corina And I came to see I'd never be free Free from the misery of my love 'Cause nothing I could do And nothing I could say Would ever win the heart of beautiful Corina Please tell everyone Any evil I have done Was all for the love of Corina 'Cause nothing I could do And nothing I could say Would ever win the heart of beautiful Corina And so it came to be Nothing meant a thing to me Nothing but the love of Corina NEVERMORE TO BE When the leaves turn gray in September And the winter is riding on the breeze I think of days gone by and I remember All the people lost and gone from me I think of everybody nevermore to be It soon will be the same for me I talk to everybody nevermore to be They only hear me in my dreams They say the western sky goes on forever But there's no sky wider than a person's eyes And in dreams they all can be together Cause in your dreams nobody ever dies There's nothing left of nothing Outside my memory And there'll soon be nothing left for me So keep your eyes wide open And your fancy free And I hope that you will think of me When the wind blows over the prairie And the wicked winter chill begins And it seems there's nothing left you haven't buried And life's a game nobody ever wins Think of all the people nevermore to be EVERY WORD THEY SAID I took your side, Baby When they said you'd been untrue And when they said it wasn’t once and it wasn’t twice And it wasn’t one guy and it wasn’t two. Strange are the worlds we find Sometimes we live in them blind to every sign Callow, guileless, and green They all said was I When I wouldn't sully my trust in you Or admit that the end was nigh They said that I was blind Never to see a sign. I ran to you, Baby to tell you all the lies That you would dismiss with a laugh and a kiss As I looked into your eyes They said that I was blind Never to see a sign   When I looked in your eyes Every word they said I knew Was true PAINT MY BLUE SKIES GRAY Good-bye Darlin Farewell to the wind All those long days through You knew just what to say You knew just what to do To make me give away my heart to you There's dust on the breeze Dust in my eyes And a storm full of rain on the way You knew just what to do You knew just what to say To paint my blue skies gray Blind is the faith of a fool When a young girl sighs and turns away And all those long days through I never knew you'd stray And paint my blue skies gray Good-bye, good-bye, darlin' SHACK BY THE SEA A rich man may live in luxury But still I know he'd wish that he were me 'Cause I’m living slow And I’m living free In my shack by the sea I can hear the sea birds call The evening tide rises and falls And I can taste that ocean breeze In my shack by the sea I don’t have money But I’ve got the sun on me So won’t you come along and see? And you can taste that ocean breeze In my shack by the sea NOTHING IN THE WIND There's an old refrain It says the wind blows far and near And I know I know nothing Though there's nothing In the sound of wind That I can't hear In the summer here there's a heat You can't believe is real And I know I know nothing Though there's nothing in the summer heat That I can't feel When you get to town, you'll have a beer with me Think you'll find the mirror's been playing a trick on me Gone are all the days When our hearts were young and gay Seems all our summer dreams The autumn steals away And when the stars shine on the lane And the sun shines down on me I know I know nothing Though there's nothing they can shine upon That I can't see DOWN THE CANYON Nighttime down in the canyon Can't think of a better place that I could be Looks like somebody painted the sky with diamonds And there's a ring somebody drew around the moon Gonna leave this old old old old trail soon Nothing left but my memories And a brand-new tune Dreams and reality Seem an awful lot alike to me And dreams are the only thing that keep me going Just dreams and the sound of my guitar Following the light of the old old old old pole star Never ever do you wonder where you are Dreams and reality Seem an awful lot alike to me And dreams are the only thing that keep me going Just dreams and the sound of my guitar UNDERNEATH THE COTTONWOOD TREES There's a place that only used to be Where the sun was always shining through the leaves And there you'd walk along Listening to the breeze And if I thought someone could hear me, I think I'd say please Let me wander once again underneath the cottonwood trees SUNDAY TAP DANCE Oh, I just hate Monday I used to hate Sunday too Treading through my sorrow Dreading the morrow Crying in my favorite brew Now I do something new Sunday won't find me Wringing my hands in gloom 'Cause I'm gonna be singing A brand new tune And pretty soon I'll forget about my troubles Forget about my cares And while away the afternoon ONLY IN DREAMS When the stars are shining in the sky I dream a dream or two I wake to see a sky above so blue And think of how things used to be When our love was new Just when you think all is done Is when your heart grows weary No vision of myself I ever would foresee Dreaming of a faded love Nevermore to be Every time I take you in my arms And I hold you tight It's only in dreams Only in dreams Only in dreams at night LULLABY WITH THE STARS Looks like the brightness in the sky Has done its fading And we’ll no longer say The light of day is ours But when you dream They’re out there waiting The stars Those shining stars Don’t worry tonight Your dreams can find their way home Looks like tonight They’re out looking For a place to roam With the stars Those shining stars Don’t fear the darkness Because the darkness of the night Will lead you To the light of tomorrow Just close your eyes You’ve got the stars Waiting out yonder Looks like tonight You’ll find a place For your dreams to wander With the stars Those shining stars Don’t fear the darkness Because the darkness of the night Will lead you To the light of tomorrow Don’t ever forget You’ve got the stars Waiting out yonder And you will always find a place For your dreams to wander With the stars Those shining stars
