1. Stormy Weather
The rain beats on my window
And the moon lights up the dark
It starts the shadows chasing
And the dogs out on the run begin to bark
The church bell's striking midnight
And the lights have all gone down
The sea's as dark as thunder
I feel like wanted a man on sacred ground
Now the wind cries out, it's taking you away
But there's nothing I can do
Passing ships into the night
We can't stay together
I won't win but I can fight
Looks like we're in for stormy weather
Forever and ever, forever and ever
Taillights on the highway
They disappear from view
Well, I look, but I don't see you coming my way
Now I've lost it all, it seems I'm losing you
Now the wind cries out, it's taking you away
But there's nothing I can do
There's a fog down on the beach
It rolls on forever
You get further out of reach
Looks like we're in for stormy weather
Passing ships into the night
We can't stay together
I won't win but I can fight
Looks like we're in for stormy weather
Stormy weather tonight
2. Too Much To Ask
I've been looking for a lover, going to help me out of trouble
I want someone to believe in, hold me down without a struggle
I want more than clothes and make up, I need love and conversation
I want someone to be waiting, so much give and so much taking
I've got ideas on my mind
I'm going to make them come true, I want you
Is that (too much) too much to ask?
(too much) too much, too fast
Oh me, I don't want anyone, I want you
Want a dedicated woman, don't want countless explanations
Too much talk and saying nothing, don't want clever imitations
I need love and understanding, I get high on expectations
Will you tell me what you're thinking about every situation?
I got ideas on my mind, I'm going to make them come true
I want you
Is that (too much) too much to ask?
(too much) too much, too fast
Oh me, I don't want anyone, I want you
3. You're The One
I won't be home tonight
I got your news but I feel all right
I'm going to take this town
I'm going to turn it upside down
You won't tell me no more lies
Won't need no alibis
You're the one, you're the one who walked out on me
You're the one, you're the one who yelled victory
Things have changed, now that you're gone
Don't you know you're the one?
You're the one, you're the one who'll be history
Don't want your love any more
Don't wanna hear you knocking on my door
So don't you come back tonight
Everything'll be locked up tight
What's a man supposed to do?
I won't be cryin' over you
You're the one, you're the one who walked out on me
You're the one, you're the one who yelled victory
Things have changed, now that you're gone
Don't you know you're the one?
You're the one, you're the one who'll be history
You won't tell me no more lies
Won't need no alibis
You're the one, you're the one who walked out on me
You're the one, you're the one who yelled victory
Things have changed, now that you're gone
Don't you know you're the one?
You're the one, you're the one who'll be history
4. The Flood (Red Cloud's War)
They were just thieves and robbers
You were a stepping-stone
Look how the innocent suffer
Raging like a storm in you soul
One thing they forgot to mention
Making peace was their last intention
There was a time you trusted
You were too proud to beg
Now you just feel disgusted
With everything you've done and said
There wasn't really time to cry
Or even kiss the children goodbye
You got swept by the flood, you got talked out of dreams
There was a price on your blood, couldn't wash yourself clean
It wasn't really worth a whole lot, looking back at what you got
Like words in the mud, tears in a stream, no more dreams
All that you ever wanted
All that you'd seen and heard
Never got really started
Like a river never turned
They didn't give a reason why
Never even bothered to try
You got swept by the flood, you got talked out of dreams
There was a price on your blood, couldn't wash yourself clean
It wasn't really worth a whole lot, looking back at what you got
Like words in the mud, tears in a stream, no more dreams
Killers without a conscience
Only the good lie dead
Great father who trades in nonsense
Picture this inside your head
The magic of the talking wires
Carry both the truth and the lies
You got swept by the flood, you got talked out of dreams
There was a price on your blood, couldn't wash yourself clean
It wasn't really worth a whole lot, looking back at what you got
Like words in the mud, tears in a stream, no more dreams
5. Broken Wheel
You cried all night, it looks like rain upon your face
Come early light, it's time to get back in the race
Now there's no doubt, the world's a cold and lonely place
It sucks you in, chews you up and spits you out
But I know where you've been, that door's easy to walk in
Like a broken wheel stops turning
You ain't going nowhere
Now you've got to heal that burning
Or you ain't got a prayer
Like a broken wheel
You're not alone, someone, somewhere feels just like you
But you don't know, which way to turn or what to do
No need to ask, I'll pull you through these troubled times
So hold on fast, I'll drag you to the finish line
'Cause I know where you've been, that door's easy to walk in
Like a broken wheel stops turning
You ain't going nowhere
Now you've got to heal that burning
Or you ain't got a prayer
Like a broken wheel
Had enough, now your heart's breaking, bad enough you hesitating
Keep your head, you got to stand your ground
A fool for love, you get mistaken, can't forget the hurt you've taken
This old world has really got you down
Like a broken wheel stops turning
You ain't going nowhere
Now you've got to heal that burning
Or you ain't got a prayer
Like a broken wheel
6. Just One More Heartbreak
I've been rejected, left unprotected
And you might say that I'm a no count
But I'm still growing and the river's still flowing
Now I know just what it's all about
Ain't well connected, can't get accepted
That's just another bridge I have to cross
I'm a believer and faith's the healer
But there's a price to pay, I know the cost
And if it takes a long time, there's no excuse
Just one more heartbreak
Another memory – turn me loose
Just one more heartbreak
You'll have to run to me
The looks of tension, too cold to mention
Like some muddy boots on someone's polished floor
Ain't broken hearted, well I've just started
I've got some boots you've never seen before
I can wait, I can dream, forget the bad news
Just one more heartbreak
Another memory – turn me loose
Just one more heartbreak
You'll have to run to me
And so we live – hour-by-hour fades away
But I know this – I'll make the best of every day
Just one more heartbreak
Another memory – turn me loose
Just one more heartbreak
You'll have to run to me
7. Every Woman, Every Man
If they could see you right now
And know where you came from, lonely one
Don't cry now, now you're really someone
That put lines on your face, that's out of place
You really got what you wanted
You really got where you wanted to be
You can't live this way forever
Like an island made of sand
'Cause your heart gets worn away
We all need to be together
Though we find it hard to say
Every woman – every man
You walk a crooked road
You can't look back and see how short your memory
There you go, only fooling yourself
Someone's going to get hurt, you won't be the first
You really got what you wanted
You really got where you wanted to be
You can't live this way forever
Like an island made of sand
'Cause your heart gets worn away
We all need to be together
Though we find it hard to say
Every woman – every man
You'll have to take it on your own
When you wake up to find that everything's gone
You can't live this way forever
Like an island made of sand
'Cause your heart gets worn away
We all need to be together
Though we find it hard to say
Every woman – every man
8. Only In America
There's a rainbow on sunset boulevard
Made of tears from hollywood
People praying for their green card
Pay to play, work for food
Only in america, only in america
Only in america, only in america
Swear allegiance every morning, it's another sunny day
Well, it's murder on the freeway, someone's life gets blown away
There's a pirate on the radio, there's a preacher on tv
Call the cia big daddio, tell the white house I'll be free
Only in america, only in america
Only in america, only in america
Tijuana 'cross the border, eat the worm, see paradise
Education in las vegas, cut the cards and roll the dice
People come to california and they aim to do it right
Every waitress, a performer, you'll be famous overnight
Only in america, only in america
Only in america, only in america
9. Sleepwalking
Lost in the shadows, rain clouds all day
There's a ghost in the mirror
Well, I'm gone but I'm not too far away
Poor little sisters, easy to find
You heard me come knocking
Saying jesus is a friend of mine
Hear no evil – see no evil – speak no evil
I must be sleepwalking – can't believe that sweet talking
I must be sleepwalking – can't believe that sweet talking
No magic red shoes under my bed
Well, there's no need to worry
The wicked witch of the east is dead
Jonathan seagull taught me to fly
While the father and husband
Is shot down by the catcher in the rye
Hear no evil – see no evil – speak no evil
I must be sleepwalking – can't believe that sweet talking
I must be sleepwalking – can't believe that sweet talking
10. Prayer For A Stranger
Thoughts on cavalry and salvation
Wears her rosary, no hesitation
Above the sound of gunfire, a prayer for strangers
Couldn't get much higher, talks to angels
She's got something more than feeling
You've just got to ask her
She's got something to believe in
And there's nothing better
Friends and enemies, a time for reason
A time for charity, a cry for freedom
In the roar of battle, changing fortunes
Senses bound and shackled in the dark room
She's got something more than feeling
You've just got to ask her
She's got something to believe in
And there's nothing better
Scarlet roses growing on white skin
Voices carrying nightmares, no escaping them
She's there, close and taking care
She's got something more than feeling
You've just got to ask her
She's got something to believe in
And there's nothing better
11. The Long Ride
Burns brighter than the stars at night
Just as faithful as the falling light
It's wilder than the roaring sea
That's what it means, that's what it means to me
And I don't know what I'd do if you took your love away
I'd be dying by the day if you took your love away
Stronger than the coldest wind
Like the night sky never seems to end
A remembered long lost memory
That's what it means, that's what it means to me
And I don't know what I'd do if you took your love away
I'd be dying by the day if you go away
There's a fire in your heart, gets into my soul
And I know how it feels to be losing control
There's a fire in your touch and it never grows cold
Though we stand at the edge, still we never lose hold
Next to heaven's holy prize
Warmer than the morning sunrise
Everywhere and everything you see
That's what it means, that's what it means to me
And I don't know what I'd do if you took your love away
I'd be dying by the day if you took your away
Far horizon where the eagles cry
Across the desert, over mountains high
I know that's how it has to be
That's what it means, that's what it means to me
And I don't know what I'd do if you took your love away
I'd be dying by the day if you go away
There's a fire in your heart, gets into my soul
And I know how it feels to be losing control
There's a fire in your touch and it never grows cold
Though we stand at the edge, still we never lose hold
