Follow You Down





Just The Way It Is, Baby
Do you remember once upon a time, when you were mine?
The stars above were bright and new-I pulled them down for you
Just when I fell in love again, you said that all good things must end
BABY....THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS BABY
BABY....THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS BABY
I've never had a hand for solitaire-It's so unfair
That I should have my chance and lose-I feel like I've been used
To help you through another night-You spelled it out in black and white
(CHORUS)
The tides that once had carried you away, bring you back today
  Now time has washed away my pain-You'll find that things have changed
And disappeared without a trace-You can't get back what you've erased
(CHORUS)


Save Me
I'm all alone, when the sun, goes down
What I wouldn't give, to have someone around
The nights are endless, and dreams, are few
But when they come, well they never come true
And so it goes
No one even knows, the pain behind the smile
How all the while I'm cryin'
SAVE ME.....SOMEONE SAVE ME
SAVE ME.....SOMEONE SAVE ME
'CAUSE I'VE BEEN SAVIN' MYSELF FOR HER TOO LONG'
IT'S TIME I'M MOVIN' ON
Won't you save me?
Too many memories in this, old town
My face turned up to meet the rain..the rain that's fallin' down
And so it goes
That no one even knows, the pain behind the smile
How all the while I'm dyin'
(CHORUS)
Won't you save me?
Are you gonna be the one to make it right, or am I only dreamin'
(CHORUS)


Someone
We've been together now for such a long time
Through every trial we'd ever care to go
When I look back I almost can't believe it
We're not the same people that we used to know
With all the years behind me spent pretending
I didn't need someone like you around
It makes it even harder to imagine
The life I'd be livin', if I hadn't found
SOMEONE TO HOLD ME, THE WAY THAT YOU DO
SOMEONE WHO NEEDS ME, THE WAY I NEED YOU
SOMEONE TO SHOW ME, A WAY THAT IS TRUE
SOMEONE TO LOVE ME.......THE WAY THAT I LOVE YOU
When there was no one left for me to turn to
When all the world I knew was fallin' down
Oh there were times I could not face the mornin'
But everything's changed since the day that I found
(CHORUS)


Show Me Your Love
I've been down, this road before
I don't think I'm comin' back this way for more
It won't be long-And I'll be gone, out your door
You can say, the words you will
I'd be six feet under ground if looks could kill
But you don't care, that I've been run, through the mill
I'M NOT WAITING AROUND-I'VE ABOUT HAD ENOUGH
MAYBE YOU'LL NEVER LEARN, HOW TO SHOW ME YOUR LOVE
YOU CAN PROMISE THE WORLD, BUT WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE
BABY YOU'LL NEVER LEARN, HOW TO SHOW ME YOUR LOVE
When you're alone, what do you need?
Are your toys enough to keep you company?
Who says pain loves misery?
(CHORUS)


New King
I want it back the way it used to be
Now there's a cloud that's hangin' over me
We've all been led astray
We need someone to light the way-Light the way
LOOKIN' FOR A NEW KING-CLEANLINESS A MUST
LOOKIN' FOR A NEW KING-ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR A NEW KING
One who'll deliver all he promises
One who'll convince the doubting Thomas'
Fill out the questionnaire, 'cause we're in a state of disrepair
Who cares?
(CHORUS)


Every Secret Thing
Now, I'm not saying that I'm, feelin' lonely but I
Wouldn't mind it if you'd, come and warm me for awhile
Baby for awhile
Because you're, hot on the outside and you're
Sweet in the middle and I'm, guessin' that someday you might
Want just a little of my love-That's what I'm thinkin' of
So baby don't pretend
Don't pretend there's nothing there-Don't act as if you're unaware
'CAUSE I-I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR EYES (EVERY SECRET THING)
I CAN READ BETWEEN THE LINES (EVERY SECRET THING)
Every secret thing
You thought you, had me figured for a
Somethin' or other or the, kinda guy you wouldn't
Bring home to mother, now you know-Love will only grow
Baby don't pretend
Don't pretend there's nothing there-Don't act as if you're unaware
(CHORUS 2x)
We hide, and we keep from one another
Won't change, this night-Tonight will last forever


If Not For Misery

I've done my best to help you understand
A part of me that wants to take your hand, and pull you close
To dry your tears......But after all these years
WE NEED TO LET IT GO, IT'S NOT THE LOVE WE USE TO KNOW
OH LISTEN CAN'T YOU SEE
IF NOT FOR MISERY, WE'D HAVE NOTHING LEFT AT ALL
So hard we try, to make it like before
Beyond these walls, there must be something more
More than this
Where love won't die-It's time to say goodbye
(CHORUS)
Now it's a game of Chutes and Ladders
We only play to win, and nothing else much matters
Remember this to your own heart be true
And if you are, your heart will see you through
(CHORUS)

Moonlight on Mt. Hood
**Instrumental**


Goodnight
When you need someone, that you can turn to
Honey don't you know-You can turn to me
And if you need a hand, to help you hold on
Honey don't you know-You can hold on me
Because you've given me the moon
Oh of this you're unaware
And you'll be moving on so soon
To the life that's waiting out there
Goodnight my sweet angel-It's time to close your eyes
Goodnight my sweet angel-I'll see you when you rise


Burning Timber
Where is everybody going-Always learnin' never knowing
Try and stop the world from turning, but it won't slow down
I was the one you gave your heart to, but after all what did it get you?
Was it enough to put an end to, the risin' flames?
WE STAND LIKE, BURNIN' TIMBER-HELPLESS AMONG THE CINDERS
I PRAYED FOR RAIN, WHEN THE SKY WAS BLUE
WHAT ELSE COULD I DO?
We need to work our way around it, and let it be the way we found it
The more that everything keeps changing, the less we are gaining
(CHORUS)
You build me up-You cut me down-You fight me tooth and nail
Now hand in hand, we walk alone..along this blazing trail
(CHORUS)


Confidential Information
She tried to keep a secret-Swore she'd never tell
Double-crossed her heart and hoped to die
You see she had this awful habit, of talking in her sleep
And when she dreamed at night, she couldn't tell a lie
She contemplated suicide, but couldn't follow through
Felt the guilt alone would do her in
'Cause the man who loved and trusted her, would never feel the same for her
If she let the truth be known, where she had been
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION-IN A DREAM A TRUE CONFESSION
SHE DIDN'T MEAN TO GIVE AWAY SUCH CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
She had to find an alibi-He questioned her no end
Did this come from some experience she'd had?
She said she had a wild imagination, yet her passion was for him
And in explaining, she confessed how she'd gone bad
Oh so bad
(CHORUS)
He said...maybe it's the moonlight, or somethin' 'bout the darkness
But I feel I must forgive you either way
And with those words she woke to find him lying, sleeping by her side
And her secret could be kept another day
(CHORUS)


Everyday People
Oh the times they are a changin'-I can feel it in the air
Oh can't you hear the bells of freedom, ringin' everywhere?
And if you look across the ocean, you will see a shining light
And I know that come tomorrow, everything will be alright
'CAUSE EVERYDAY PEOPLE, ARE MAKIN' A SOUND
THEY'RE GETTIN' TOGETHER, AND STANDIN' THEIR GROUND
YOU CAN BUILD UP THE WALL, BUT WE'LL TEAR IT DOWN
WE ARE EVERYDAY PEOPLE
And our numbers are many, but our hearts beat as one
We will fight to the finish, 'til the battle is won
For the right to be free, in a world without war
In a land where the giants can no longer ignore
The voice of our children, who are cryin' revolution
Who inherit our pollution, if we don't change our ways
(CHORUS)


Follow You Down
Broken down on this, lonesome highway
Just my luck that you were, headed my way
Together...we drive off into the night
Wherever...wherever we end up will be alright
I WILL FOLLOW YOU DOWN, WHEREVER YOU GO
THROUGH EVERY TWIST, AND TURN IN THE ROAD
I WILL FOLLOW YOU DOWN, WHEREVER YOU GO
The open air and the, stars above us
There ain't a thing that can, come between us
Remember...we were strangers yesterday
Tomorrow...we could change our lonely ways
(CHORUS)
