There will be another song for me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sky
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one

I will take my life into my hands
And I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes
And I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passions flow like rivers through the sky
But after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wonderin' why

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
And I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
Oh, no-o-o

How can I deny my heart
When my love is blind
I got no choice
I've gone too far
I lose my mind
When we're makin' love
When we're makin' love

When I look into your magic eyes
The mirror of my love
I like to see you
Smiling back at me
It makes me feel so good

Need to keep you satisfied
The only way I know
And all the cares I cannot hide
Will never show
When we're makin' love
Woh makin' love

Don't believe that I'm a liar
But I can't get enough
Never knew I could be higher
Just by makin' love

How can I deny my heart
When my love is blind
I got no choice
I've gone too far
I lose my mind
When we're makin' love
When we're makin' love

Don't believe that I'm a liar
But I can't get enough
Never knew I could be higher
Just by makin' love

Oh oh oh yeah oh makin' love
Oh makin' love
Makin' love
Coming to you
Makin' love
With nothing to do
Makin' love
Makin' love
Makin' love
Makin' love

Senses take flight on their dulcimer strings
By the flickering light as the candle is dimmed
Kissed by the breath of a whim
At a peace close to dying that hides many things
Like the tears in the night, soothe the eyes but eventually sting

Night scented stocks weave their own threnody
Through a tinderless night steeped in old melodies
Words carried home by the breeze
Are suspended in time on this midsummer's eve
Under tender moon light in the temperate forest of dreams

Madrigal homebound on madrigal winds
Madrigal in flight on gossamer wings
All you can wish for is all that it brings
Born to be under the spell of this wonderful thing

Sleep in this storybook's halcyon scene
Hear 'the whispering' speak of their timeless esteem
Nightfall has beckoned you here
To a place in a clearing where kingfishers sing
Of the crystal clear waters, alive in this magical spring
Tail on over...

Madrigal homebound on madrigal winds
Madrigal in flight on gossamer wings
All you can wish for is all that it brings
Born to be under the spell of this wonderful thing

'Cause it's magic
You know it's magic that you'll find
You see it's magic
I know who you are and there's magic in you

Keep your eye on the man and don't look away for a moment
How is it done? How does he make me see?
Something up his sleeve when speaks you want to believe him
But the hand is quicker than the eye
Only the stranger knows why

'Cause it's magic
Can't you see it's magic that you'll find
You know it's magic
I know who you are and there's magic in you

Driven by a force moving in another dimension
Here for today, gone for eternity
Seeking for truth hidden by the word of his wisdom
But the hand is quicker than the eye
Only the stranger knows why

Can't you feel it's magic
You know it's magic that you'll find
I said it's magic
I know who you are and there's magic in you

An angel sent from above, is Mama
And everyone fell in love, with Mama
Mama's so sweet, Mama's so nice
If there is trouble take Mama's advice

There's no-one I hold so dear, as Mama
I always want to be near

Mama

Times have changed and times are strange
Here I come, but I ain't the same
Mama, I'm coming home
Times gone by seems to be
You could have been a better friend to me
Mama, I'm coming home

You took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized, yeah
Lost and found and turned around
By the fire in your eyes

You made me cry, you told me lies
But I can't stand to say goodbye
Mama, I'm coming home
I could be right, I could be wrong
It hurts so bad, it's been so long
Mama, I'm coming home

Selfish love yeah, we're both alone
The ride before the fall
But I'm gonna take this heart of stone
I just got to have it all

I've seen your face a hundred times
Everyday we've been apart
I don't care about the sunshine, yeah
'Cause Mama, Mama, I'm coming home
I'm coming home

You took me in and you drove me out
You had me hypnotized, yeah
Lost and found and turned around
By the fire in your eyes

I've seen your face a thousand times
Everyday we've been apart
I don't care about the sunshine, yeah
'Cause Mama, Mama, I'm coming home
I'm coming home (2)

Come down with fire
Lift my spirit higher
Someone's screaming my name
Come and make me holy again

I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain

I'm the day, I'm the day
I can show you the way
And look, I'm right beside you
I'm the night, I'm the night
I'm the dark and the light
With eyes that see inside you

Come down with fire
And lift my spirit higher
Someone's screaming my name
Come and make me holy again

I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain

Come down with fire
And lift my spirit higher
Someone's screaming my name
Come and make me holy again

I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain

Well, I can help you, you know I can

I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain

Just look at me and listen
I'm the man, the man, give you my hand
I'm the man on the silver mountain

Coming down with fire
And lift your spirit higher
I'm the man on the mountain
The man on the silver mountain
I'm the night, the light
The black and the white
The man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain

Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find
My way over

Wandering I am lost
As I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover

Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will
That keeps me alive

I've been licked
Washed up for years
And I merely survive
Because of my pride

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My man he left me but he wouldn't say why
Well I guess, I have to try

Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin
I'm playing for time

There'll be times I find myself
Thinking of committing
Some dreadful crime

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My man he left me but he wouldn't say why
Well I guess, I have to try, yeah yeah

Rivers, rivers to cross
Yeah yeah
Rivers to cross

Blind Boys Of Alabama

And I merely merely survive

But I begin, I'm praying
Many rivers to cross
But my way back home I cannot find
Many rivers to cross...

Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin

There have been times I find myself thinking of committing
Some dreadful crime

I've got many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along white cliffs of Dover

Oleta Adams

Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin

Wandering I am lost
As I travel along white cliffs of Dover

The Walkmen

... Dover
Many rivers to cross
And it's all in my mind
Keeps me alive

... There have been times I've found myself
Sitting in limbo, oh no, oh no,
For a lifetime

Toni Childs

... Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely, merely survive

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be out on your own
My spirit is lonely and I don't know why
Well, I guess, I have to try

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be out on your own
My spirit was lonely, I don't know why
Well, I guess, I, I have to try

Many rivers to cross
But to begin, I'm playing for time
Many rivers to cross
But my way back home I cannot find

Many rivers to cross
Many, many, many rivers to cross

I merely survive because of my pride

My woman left and she didn't say why
Well I guess, I gotta try

I've got many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way
Wandering I am lost as I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross and it's only my will
That keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for my years and,
I merely survive because of my pride.

I'm a melancholy man, that's what I am
All the world surrounds me and my feet are on the ground
I'm a very lonely man, doing what I can
All the world astounds me and I think I understand
That we're going to keep growing, wait and see

When all the stars are falling down
Into the sea and on the ground
And angry voices carry on the wind
A beam of light will fill your head
And you'll remember what's been said
By all the good men this world's ever known

Another man is what you'll see
Who looks like you and looks like me
And yet somehow he will not feel the same
His life caught up in misery
He doesn't think like you and me
Cause he can't see what you and I can see

Bridge

When all the stars ...

When all the stars ...
Another man is what you'll see ...

[Outro]

I'm a melancholy man, that's what I am
All the world surrounds me
I'm a very lonely man, doing what I can
All the world astounds me and I think I understand
That we're going to keep growing, just you wait and see

Oh, believe me, believe me, believe me
I'm a melancholy man

I'm a melancholy girl
that's what I am
All the world surrounds me
and my feet are on the ground
I'm a very lonely girl
Doing what I can
All the world astounds me
and I think I understand
That we're going
to keep growing - wait and see

When all the stars are falling down
into the sea and on the ground
and angry voices carry on the wind
A beam of light will fill your head
and you'll remember what's been said
by all the good men this world's ever known

Another girl is what you'll see
who looks like you and looks like me
and yet somehow she will not feel the same
Her life could have been misery
she doesn't think like you and me
cause she can't see what you and I can see

I'm a melancholy girl ... wait and see

I'm a melancholy girl
that's what I am
very lonely,very lonely
doing what I can
All the world surrounds me
melancholy
that's what I am
I'm a very lonely girl
All the world surrounds me

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let yourself be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yultide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the faiths allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

(Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore)
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the faiths allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

R.:
Hey, midnight dancer, oho-oho
Hey, big romancer, oho-oho
You are a sailor, a taylor, a jailer
You are from Ghana, Gayana, Montana

Hey, midnight dancer, oho-oho
Hey, big romancer, oho-oho
So lady killing so thrilling I'm willing
Come on, lets do
The midnight dance

1.
The band is playing
And you are saying:
"We should be thinking
About some drinking"
Well, mister Handsome
Why don't you get one
"I'm sorry, honey
I'm short off money"

We dance the night away
We have no time to play

R.

2.
The band goes Latin
His eyes grow satin:
"Let's do the tango
And the fandango"
Oh, yo ti quero
My caballero
"Bring me tequila
From Venezuela"

We dance ... time to play

R. x 2

Can't see nowhere
Don't know and I don't care
'Cause here comes another
Midtown tunnel vision

Side walk cruiser in stiletto heels
Frozen heart, eyes of steel
Wrap your body around my soul
Electric love is going to take its toll

Can't see nowhere
Don't know and I just don't care
That girl is the mother
Of my midtown tunnel vision

Sunset skyline night turns to day
Down on the street you could fade away
No second chances in this here wasted life
It'll cut you down like a switch blade knife

Can't see nowhere
Don't know and I just don't care

Well I'm gonna get a job cause I need the bread
But somehow I know it's gonna affect my head
Wanna buy fine dresses and a fancy car
So I better go out looking for my lucky star

Money buys (2)

Hey Miss Broadway you're walking up and down
You got caught in the next by the underground
For fame and fortune you gave your body away
And you were forced into action the next day

Hey Miss Broadway (4)
Money buys (2)

Buy your ticket for a square yard in the sun
Buy your right of living far from a gun
Watch out 'cause if you make a wrong deal you'll see how it feels
You may miss out on your next meal

Money buys (2)
A-hoe I like it (4)

The gambler won't get out before he's lost it all
The junkie always knows where to call
Hey Miss Broadway is your lover's money clean
You know what I mean?
Where is his connection with the underground scene

So so so money buys (2)
Hey Miss Broadway (4)

Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
The cars had smashed him so hard

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Once there was this girl who
Wouldn't go and change with the girls in the change room
But when they finally made her
They saw birthmarks all over her body
She couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just been there

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm (4)

But both the girl and boy were glad
Cause one kid had it worse than that

Cause then there was this boy whose
Parents made him come directly home right after school
And when they went to their church
They shook and lurched all over the church floor
He couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just gone there

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm (2)

She's a model and she's looking good
I'd like to take her home that's understood
She plays hard to get, she smiles from time to time
It only takes a camera to change her mind

She's going out to nightclubs drinking just champagne
And she has been checking nearly all the men
She's playing her game and you can hear them say
She is looking good, for beauty we will pay

She's posing for consumer products now and then
For every camera she gives the best she can
I saw her on the cover of a magazine
Now she's a big success, I want to meet her again
