You hold a life there in your hands. You probably don't know. Somehow your dreams became my plans. Somewhere long ago. Think about the things we've done and where we've been.
And the river opens for the righteous (5 times). Someday. . I was walking with my brother. And he wondered what's on my mind. I said what I believe in my soul.
I am a man of constant sorrow,. I've seen trouble all my day.. I bid farewell to old Kentucky,. The place where I was born and raised.. (The place where he was born and raised ).
When you look into a child's face. And you're seeing the human race. And the endless possibilities there. Where so much can come true. And you think of the beautiful things.
I'm standing here and hoping for you. Holding my door open for you now. Ask just what you will of me. I'll bend just like a willow tree. . And now I'm holdin'.
Baby I guess you know my story. Baby I guess you've heard my side. It seems I've traded love for glory. But I'm still not satisfied. . Given all the years all the cries and cheers.
Hold on hold out, keep a hold on strong. The money's in and the bets are down. You won't hold out long. They say you'll fall in no time at all. But you know they're wrong.
Here come those tears again just when I was getting over you. Just when I was going to make it through another night without missing you. Thinking I might just be strong enough after all.
I could write for you. A song about the warming of September. But I couldn't really give to you. That month in the spring. . And I could write for you.
You wait for the tears to fall but they won't. You think you should know what to say but you don't. Here at the break of day. The world moving on it's way.
Sometimes I get to feeling low. Wish I could just pick up and go. Somewhere new change my point of view. Maybe somewhere I don't know. Toss the idea to and fro.
(from the Disney album For Our Children; peformed by Jackson Browne & Jennifer Warnes). . Once there was a way to get back homeward. Once there was a way to get back home.
Pretty Nova, one year over. Legal age of consent. In the flower of sweet youth our. Days of heaven were spent. . Giving that heaven away. Giving that heaven away.
Well, it's funny you should ask me how I feel. As the scenes before my eyes begin to reel. I can't remember how long I cried. I can't remember how hard I tried.
Did you see our brother. he was here the other day. but he only came to say that he was leaving. did you see his lady. she was looking where he'd gone.
I'm here at Fourth and Main. Been standing in the rain. I feel no joy, I feel no pain. I got nothing to lose, nothing to gain. I'm at Fourth and Main.
Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer. I was taken by a photograph of you. There were one or two I know that you would have liked a little more.
For taking the trouble, for hanging on and tryin'. Now you've been working through the rubble of a shattered mind. . Yeah Baby, tell me why the tears are falling from your eye.
Everybody I talk to is ready to leave. With the light of the morning. They've seen the end coming down long enough to believe. That they've heard their last warning.
Open the door, baby turn on the light. We're gonna have a party tonight. For a rocker. For a rocker. . I know it's late and you're already down. You ain't ready for people around.
