1.When You Tell Me That You Love Me
I want to call the stars
down from the sky.
I want to live a day
that never dies.
I want to change the world
only for you.
All the impossible,
I want to do.
I want to hold you close
under the rain.
I want to kiss your smile
and feel the pain.
I know what's beautiful
looking at you.
In a world of lies,
you are the truth.
And baby,
everytime you touch me,
I become a hero.
I'll make you safe
no matter where you are,
and bring you
everything you ask for
nothing is above me.
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
when you tell me that you love me.
I want to make you see
Just what I was.
Show you the loneliness
and what it does.
You walked into my life
to stop my tears.
Everything's easy now
I have you here.
And baby,
everytime you touch me,
I become a hero.
I'll make you safe
no matter where you are,
and bring you
everything you ask for
nothing is above me.
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
when you tell me that you love me.
In a world without you
I will always hunger.
All I need is your love
to make me stronger.
And baby,
everytime you touch me,
I become a hero.
I'll make you safe
no matter where you are,
and bring you
everything you ask for
nothing is above me.
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
when you tell me that you love me.
You love me. When you tell me that you love me.
2.DOWN BY THE RIVER
City life was getting us down so we spent a weekend out town
Pitched our tent on a patch of ground down by the river
Lit a fire and drank some wine you put your jeans on top of mine
I said：Come in
the water's fine.
Down by the river
down by the river
down by the river
Said： Come in the water's fine down by the river.
Didn't feel too good all night
So we took a walk in the morning light
And came across the strangest sight down by the river
Silver fish lay on its side it was washed up by the early tide
I wonder how it died？
Down by the river
down by the river
down by the river
. . .
The doctor put us both to bed
He doesed us up and he shook his head
Only foolish people go
he said
down by the river.
The mighty willows weep
said he
Because they're dying gradually.
From the waste from the factories.
Down by the river
down by the river
down by the river
. . .
And in time the riverbanks will die
The reeds will wilt and the ducks won't fly
There'll be a tear in the otter's eye down by the river
The banks will soon be black and dead
And where the otter raised his head
Will be a clean
white skuill instead.
Down by the river
down by the river
down by the river . . .
3.EVERYTHING I WANT TO DO
Everything I want to do
I only want to do with you.
Everything I want to do
I only want to do with you.
I will always have a bed to sleep on
And there'll always be a side for you.
To let you in to half my world
Baby that's the least that I can do
And I don't want to go to work
Unless you're there when I get back home
And if you're not there I won't eat
'Cause I don't want to eat alone.
Everything I want to do . . .
I don't ever want a house and garden
In the quiet of a dead end town
But if that's what you require me
Then I'll want to settle down.
And I don't want kids of mine
Runnin' round and raisin' hell
But I don't care what my kids do
If they belong to you as well.
Everything I want to do . . .
So come with me and stay with me
And be with me ev'rywhere I go
And love with me and live with me
And watch with me as the garden grows.
I don't ever want to be an old man
I don't ever want to die alone.
To face the shadows of my life
But never never on my own.
Everything I want to do . . .
4.GOOD OLD DAYS
And all the sad young men parading through their lives
The girls that they have loved have now become expensive wives.
They think they know it all and in someways they do
They're reaching out for better times if they only knew.
These are the good old days this is the best time of my life.
The best I've ever known and it won't ever be the same again.
These are the good old days and when my clothes are out of sty
And life is slowing down I'll know what I have done.
While all the sad young men go marching off to war
The old men shake their heads and say we've seen it all before.
But how are they to know the lesson takes so long
And by the time you've found the answer life is almost gone.
These are the good old days this is the best time of my life . .

Don't tell them how you found me

8.The Free Electric Band
My father is a doctor, he's a familiary man,
My mother works for charity whenever she can,
They're both good clean Americans who abide by the law,
They both stick up for liberty, they both support the law,
My happiness was paid for when they laid their money down,
For Summers in a Summer camp, and Winters in the town,
My future in the system was talked about and planned,
But I gave it up for music and the free electric band...
I went to school in hand-washed shirts with neatly oiled hair,
The school was big and newly built and filled with light and
air,
And the teache taught his values that we had to learn to keep,
And he clipped the ear of many idle kid who went to sleep,
My father organized for me a college in the East,But I went to
California, the sun-shine and the beach,
My parents and my lecturers could never understand,
Why I gave it up for music and the free electric band...
Well, they used to sit and speculate upon their son's career,
A lawyer or a doctor or a civil engingeer,
Just give me bread and water, put a guitar in my hand,
'cause all I need is music and the free electric band...
My father sent me money and I spent it very fast,
On a girl I met in Berkeley in a social science class,
Yes, and we learned about her body, but her mind we didn't know,
Until the brutal attitudes and morals began to show,
She wanted to get married, even thopugh she never said,
But I knew her well enough by now to see inside her head,
She'd settle for suburbia and a little patch of land,
So I geave her up for music and the free electric band...
9.THE PEACEMAKER
Get out
damn it
Close the door
don't slam it
Let me be alone a while
To give my nerves a rest.
Whatever you do I love you
No matter what you do I love you
And I want to run out after you
But I don't know what's best.
If you will take good care of me
I'll be your caretaker
You'll be the maker of the peace
And I'll be the peacemaker
If you will take good care of me
I'll be your caretaker
You'll be the maker of the peace
And I'll be the peacemaker.
Hours
later
I hear the key in the front door
We look each other in the eye
A timid sorry pair.
There's a little more conversation
A little more conversation
A battle's lost and a war is won
I think we've cleared the air.
If you will take good care of me . . .
10.WHEN I'M GONE
When I'm gone
will you take good care of everything？
Will you keep wearing your wedding ring？ When I'm gone.
And when I'm gone
will you take out all the photographs
Maybe spend a moment in the past？ When I'm gone.
Will you miss me in the night？
Will your arms reach out to hold me tight
And keep me in your dreams
in your heart
in your life？
Sometimes I'll wanna run to you like lovers do
When love is new and just for a moment be close to you
Pretending I'm still holding you.
And even when I'm far away the dreams will stay.
And someday
after we've both chased our fantasies
Love will bring you back to me.
When I'm gone
I'll be thinking about you constantly
'Cause you're locked inside my memory from now on.
And I know that we said we needed time apart
But your love keeps pulling at my heart
pulling strong.
Will you miss me in the night？
Will your arms reach out to hold me tight
And keep me in your dreams
in your heart
in your life？
Sometimes I'll wanna run to you like lovers do . . .
Sometimes I'll wanna run to you like lovers do . . .
Sometimes I'll wanna run to you like lovers do . . .
