Hope (3:00) Valenti
If you say this was the Eve of Destruction, surely my friend, you must have been playing
I can see on the dawn of this morning an array of hope for Mankind
And you dead men lay on Mai Chin in regions to end games and roads
Where the highways begun and your young people are livin'
There are candles like campfires in darkness to walk in the sun
You younr men won't follow your teachings now, they know around you'll go,
They've heard all your two-sided preachings, now we know just what must be one
And the sweet wine of life flows freely and clearly,
Come break those_____ in mouth while you can
And form a great circle that shall not be broken, proclaiming the freedom, amen.
I Found Love (3:53) Duncan
Been waiting here a ong long time, pain and trouble on my mind,
You came along and made me see, oh you lifted me.
Shot up everything that our money could buy, over and over, tryin' to find out why.
I was a sinkin' ship on a stormy sea, oh I found love.
I found love in a baby's smile, I found love in an old man's eye,
I found love in a lover's kiss, ooh I found love.
All my friends thought I was cryin', it's strange to see a good man going down.
I gave all I had to give and you came along, taught me how to live.
I want to thank you each and every day, thank you baby, for showin' me the way,
I was a sinkin' ship on a stormy sea, oh I found love, love, love, I found love ...
Song For Frisco (4:56) Valenti
How long can this go on, are you still actin' the same old crazy way?
I think there's something wrong, I think somebody took your heart away,
I believe someone took your love away, I want to bring love back to stay,
But if somehow I don't get to you, you'll still be okay.
How long can this lonely night be, I sing the same old sad love song,
It's the only song I know, it's just like me,
And I believe someone took your love away, I want to bring love back today,
But if somehow I don't get to you, you'll still be okay.
I believe someone took your love away, I want to bring love back to stay,
But if somehow I don't get to you, you'll still be okay.
How many times can I tell you the same old story, I say the same old line,
I love you, baby, that's what I'm worryin' about.
I believe someone took your love away, I want to bring you a heart today,
But if somehow I don't get to you, you're still okay.
I believe someone took your heart away, I want to bring you a heart today,
But if somehow I don't get to you, baby, you'll be okay.
So I'll try, try here, I'm a tryin' to find another way to say I really love you,
I may not ever win, I'm gonna sing this song, tryin' to talk to you,
I belive someone took your love away, I want to bring you a heart today,
But if somehow I don't get to you, you're still okay.
Play My Guitar (4:41) Valenti
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down, I get caught in the middle morn,
And I'm going around an dround, there's something I'm telling you,
you're good, I'm diggin' you, hey hey, what can a poor boy do these days,
Hey hey, what can a poor boy do these days,
Except play my guitar, keep me from goin' crazy,
I want to play my guitar, it's all that still saves me.
Sometimes you say you love me then you act strange,
You got me believin' I was deranged but there's trouble now I'm telling you.
You're good, I'm diggin you, hey hey, what can a poor boy do these days,
Hey hey, what can a poor boy do these days,
Except to play my guitar, keep me from being _____ me,
I'm gonna play my guitar, that's all that still moves me.
_____ now what you say or do, anything you want me to, I believe this thing's true.
Look how I'm digging you, hey hey, what can a poor boy do these days,
Hey hey, what can a poor boy do these days,
Except to play my guitar, keep me on moving,
I want to play my guitar, that's all that still moves me,
I want to play my guitar, that's all that still thrills me.
Rebel (1:59) Valenti
I am a good old Rebel, that's exactly what I am,
The open land of freedom, I do not give a damn.
We heard a thousand Yankees, well I'm dead on that Southern thing,
We got three hundred thousand, all they ever got next to us.
They gather the Southern people at an old Southern steel shop,
And I wish we'd got three million more, mud we've got.
I can't take off my musket, fire now no more,
But I ain't gonna rebel, yes I got damn___ sure.
You don't want no part in what I've done or am,
And I will not be reconstructed and I do not give a damn.
Fire Brothers (3:09) Duncan
In the valley where the moons and lovers play live two children who work on Saturday,
One was dark, one was fair, followed by the hawk, mothered by the mare.
Stranger children you will never see, brothers of the forest and the sea,
One was land, one was air, and they kept the fires burning there.
In a golden vessel and silver vase, kept them burning in the strange enchanted place,
Kept them burning to the sky, for they knew someday the sun would die.
Out Of My Mind (4:32) Valenti
Out of my mind, that's what she said to me, she was unkind, said I was crazy.
I thought that was cruel, she didn't know me at all,
What can you do when someone tells you you're insane?
She heard the news, knew all about me, I was too strange.
She could do very well without me, and I didn't cry, I tried to say hello.
But it makes you feel crazy when somebody calls you insane.
I tried to tell her things were all right with me, she wouldn't listen for a minute,
But then when she told me it was all in my mind, what else can a poor boy do?
It pays to let her fly over to the table
Where the games were measured out in thin white lines.
The last time I saw her, she was stoned out of her mind,
How many minds had she sent spinning only to find they hadn't gone anywhere at all?
I said that was sad, she didn't understand
It hurts in your heart when somebody says you're insane.
I tried to tell her things were all right with me, she wouldn't listen for a minute,
But then when she told me it was all in my mind, what else can a poor boy do?
It pays to let her fly over to the table
Where the games were measured out in thin white lines.
The last time I saw her she was tryin' to blow her mind,
What can you do when someone tells you you're insane? What can you do?
Stop for a while and listen, stop for a while and listen, and then some easy go your way.
Don't Cry My Lady Love (5:10) Valenti
Don't cry, my sweet love, you know how I can't stand you crying,
All right, my lady love, I know you have heart, begin tryin'.
Some day in the morning when the sunshine won't shine in your window,
You may remember that I was the sun in your window.
But these things happen all the time, they're alywas the same,
One's always crying, and one's always easing the pain.
You say goodbye, my lady love, I don't want the memories to haunt you,
Just look in my eyes, babe, you can change my mind if you want to.
But some day the sunlight that you never can fa__ to sparkle__ in,
You may remember the one guy you won't share your heart with.
But these things happen and they never run on time,
One's always leavin' and one's always changin' his mind.
Another time, another place, you'd know that I'd really love you,
Dry your eyes, my funny face, another place, another world about you.
Don't you remember the way that you once tried to leave me,
And may be some day you may know you really didn't need me.
But these things happen all the time, they're always the same,
One's always crin' and one's always takin' the blame,
One's always crin' and one's always takin' the blame.
The Truth (6:56) Valenti
Every time I try to tell where you're goin' wrong
You run and hide your head and call me crazy,
All I tried to tell you was that you could get it on
If you just wouldn't be so lazy.
Oh, what can we do, oh I tried to tell you, everything is true.
I'm tryin' to tell you I've tried everything I knew, ooh, to try and tell you
The truth ... I wanna tell you the truth, baby, I wouldn't ever lie to you,
I'm gonna tell you the truth now.
Every time I try to point out the way you're goin' down
You run and drown another jug of whiskey,
And when I said you had to get together, try to love you brother,
Did I let__ into your head on a mystery?
Oh, what can we do, I believe in you, how can I tell you, everything is true.
I tried to tell you, I tried everything I knew, ooh to try to tell you
The truth ... I wanna tell you the truth, baby, tell you the truth,
And no I'd never lie to you, ooh, to try to tell you the truth, baby, truth,
I wouldn't never never never ...
I watch you count the spaces passing by,
Makes me want to cry, get the strangest kind of old lonely,
As the oceans overlfow with people come and people go
And still you're only make-believin',
Baby, what can we do? I believe in you, how can I tell you, everything is true,
And I tried to tell you the truth ... [etc]
