singe Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Noooo! THere is if you want to wallow in self pity and blame everyone else. Times like this call for Bruce Springsteen: Missed the first two verses but: Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back to your hometown Your hometown Your hometown Your hometown Last night me and Kate we laid in bed talking about getting out Packing up our bags maybe heading south I'm thirty-five we got a boy of our own now Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son take a good look around This is your hometown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Or from The River Album 1980: "Fade Away" Well now you say you've found another man who does things to you that I can't And that no matter what I do it's all over now between me and you girl But I can't believe what you say No I can't believe what you say 'cause baby [Chorus] I don't wanna fade away Oh I don't wanna fade away Tell me what can I do what can I say Cause darlin' I don't wanna fade away Well now you say that you've made up your mind it's been such a long, long time since it's been good with us And that somewhere back along the line you lost your love and I lost your trust Now rooms that once were so bright are filled with the coming night, darlin' [Chorus] You say it's not easy for you And that you've been so lonely While other girls go out doing what they want to do You say that you miss the nights whe we'd go out dancing The days when you and I walked as two Well girl I miss them too Oh I swear that I do Oh girl Now baby I don't wanna be just another useless memory holding you tight Or just some other ghost out on the street to whom you stop and politely speak when you pass on by vanishing into the night left to vanish into the night No baby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 "Long Walk Home" Last night I stood at your doorstep Trying to figure out what went wrong You just slipped something into my palm and you were gone I could smell the same deep green of summer 'Bove me the same night sky was glowin' In the distance I could see the town where I was born It's gonna be a long walk home Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me Gonna be a long walk home A long walk home In town I pass Sal's grocery Barber shop on South Street I looked in their faces* They're all rank strangers to me* Well Veteran's Hall high upon the hill Stood silent and alone The diner was shuttered and boarded With a sign that just said "gone" It's gonna be a long walk home Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me Gonna be a long walk home Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me Gonna be a long walk home It's gonna be a long walk home [Guitar break] [sax break] Here everybody has a neighbor Everybody has a friend Everybody has a reason to begin again My father said "Son, we're lucky in this town, It's a beautiful place to be born. It just wraps its arms around you, Nobody crowds you and nobody goes it alone" "Your flag flyin' over the courthouse Means certain things are set in stone. Who we are, what we'll do and what we won't" It's gonna be a long walk home Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me Gonna be a long walk home Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me Gonna be a long walk home It's gonna be a long walk home It's gonna be a long walk home Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me Gonna be a long walk home Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me Gonna be a long walk home It's gonna be a long walk home It's gonna be a long walk home [guitar break] [sax break] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 For Simon Corney "Working On A Dream" Out here the nights are long, the days are lonely I think of you and I'm working on a dream I'm working on a dream Now the cards I've drawn's a rough hand, darling I straighten the back and I'm working on a dream I'm working on a dream Come on! I'm working on a dream Though sometimes it feels so far away I'm working on a dream And I know it will be mine someday Rain pourin' down, I swing my hammer My hands are rough from working on a dream I'm working on a dream Let's go! I'm working on a dream Though trouble can feel like it's here to stay I'm working on a dream Well our love will chase trouble away Alright! [whistling interlude] That's professional whistling right there! I'm working on a dream Though it can feel so far away I'm working on a dream Our love will make it real someday The sun rise up, I climb the ladder The new day breaks and I'm working on a dream I'm working on a dream I'm working on a dream I'm working on a dream Hey! I'm working on a dream Though it can feel so far away I'm working on a dream Our love will make it real someday I'm working on a dream Though it can feel so far away I'm working on a dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Has to be a favourite Working on a dream 2009 "What Love Can Do" There's a pillar in the temple where I carved your name There's a soul sitting sad and blue Now the remedies you've taken are all in vain Let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do Darling I can't stop the rain Or turn your black sky blue Well let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do Well now our truth lay shattered, we stood at world's end There's a dead sun rose in view As if any of this matters, a kiss my friend Let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do Darling we can't stop this train When it comes crashing through But let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do On the bench you lie all is nails and rust And the love you've given's turned ashes and dust When the hope you've gathered's drifted to the wind It's you and I now, friend (you and I now, friend) You and I now, friend Here our memory lay corrupted and our city lay dry Let me make this vow to you Here where it's blood for blood and an eye for an eye Let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do Here we bear the mark of Cain But let the light shine through Let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do Edited February 4, 2011 by singe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
