Be True To Your Heart
Be true to your heart 
Ride in the cavalry
Come tear me apart 
Engage in revelry 
Be true to your heart 
'Round here there's nothing else to do

I told my lover to be a-moaning like all the good lovers do
She said "open up to me oh honey then I sure will moan for you"
I tore my shirt apart and I thought it was funny
It wasn't what she thought or wanted of course
She only wanted my soul

Be true to your heart 
Ride in the cavalry
And look for the stars 
Engage in revelry
Be true to your heart 
‘Round here there's nothing else to do

I told Bojangles to be dancing like all the good Bojangles do
He said "move your own hips yourself baby you already got them dancing shoes"
"But when I do it always gets rainy can't you see I still need you"
"Just go to Hollywood will you"

Be true to your heart 
Ride in the cavalry
Look for the stars
Your eyes are shimmery
Be true to your heart 
'Round here there's nothing else to do

I told the church bells to be a-ringing like all the good church bells do
They cried "boy don't you see that we're broken" I said "hell that just ain't no excuse
Look at me and see I am broken but all them spectators want me to work
Well I guess I am the jerk"

I told my eyes to be seeing 
My ears to be hearing 
My voice to speak the truth
They were not quite in the mood

I’m true to my heart 
True whenever I can
I'm true to my heart 
Whenever I feel like 
Being true to my heart
When there is nothing else to do 

I'm Your Man
There's a sea full of fish
There's a fisherman's family in need of a dish
There's a sky full of air
There's a skull breathing oxygen and he doesn't care
There's a field full of grain 
There's a fool by the fire dancing for rain
There's your breasts sweet and small
There's my mind never thinking any other thing at all

I'm your fool
I'm your man
I got nothing but the salt of the earth in my hands
In the city
In the cave
I got nothing but a smile and the need of a shave

There's a sea it's short of fish
There's a fisherman's family in need of a dish
There's a sky that's lacking air
There's a skull breathing pheromones and he doesn't care
There's a field full of grain
There's a fools silver iodide making it rain
There's your breasts they're still sweet and small
There's my mind never thinking any other thing at all

I'm your fool 
I'm your man
I got nothing but the salt of the earth in my hands
In the city
In the cave
I got nothing but a smile and the need of a shave

I'm your fool 
I'm your man
I got nothing but the salt of the earth in my hands
In the city
In the cave
I got nothing but a smile and the need of a shave

I'm your doll
I'm your ape
There's a man on a cloud looking into my face
From the cradle
To the grave
I got nothing but a love that I need to embrace

And oh ain't that the love for you?

As a cobra skin
As a merchant
As a broken sinner
I'll be your man

As football player
As a drunken hand
As the Holy Spirit 
I'll be your man


Bring Me Your Love Tenderly
I was caught by the meadow wasted
And then I hasted into the brush
It was the strangest situation
I saw a nation in a rush

They beat me up and my body was naked
I didn't know but I was unashamed
Before I could wonder too much about it
I sat down and changed my name

So bring me your love tenderly
And hold out your arms right for me
For I am as good as can be
If you'd bring me your love tonight
They'd tell you it wasn't right
So how come you never even tried

I would call myself the mystery man
But none of them would ask me why
They just called me anything I liked
I don't believe they have been polite

I let them punch me into my face
But quite frankly that didn't feel right
So I ask what kind of love can this be
That goes from bad to worse but never dies

So bring me your love tenderly
And hold out your arms right for me
For I am as good as can be
If you'd bring me your love tonight
I'd tell you it wasn't right
So how come that you never tried

Companion
I take a look at the prickly pear and 
Take a walk around it
Naked rock forms a simple chair so 
I take my seat upon it
Barren thoughts must now cross my mind so 
I better not think about it
Juniper tree in the desert heat
In the mouth of the mountain

All other things must 
Now come and face
Me so I can contemplate
I think I'll go now and 
I leave this song undone
My mind’s my companion 
But he might be on the run

Scorpio on the arid plains
You better hide from the beating sun
Eagle up in the crystal blue sky 
Will you show him how it's done
Specter hide in the spacious minds 
There's no facing you tonight
I may kiss you or maybe no 
We'll sleep alone this time

All other things must
Now come and face
Me so I can contemplate
I think I'll go now and
I leave this song undone
My mind’s my companion
But he might be on the run

I Sure Threw It Away
Sometimes 
I don't see the reason why
Why I spend my whole life
Doing everything twice

Sometimes 
I don't see how I can try
The abyss is among me 
The stream is filled with ice

I gave my heart
To the gambler and the bride
There's nothing left for me though
I don't know where they hide

Mama told me not to run
Not to throw my heart away
She was begging in my arms
And I sure threw it away

And death
It's not an end it's not grotesque
There's nothing that is ending
Just the things that you have left

And life
It ain't got nothing as a start
There's nothing that is starting
Just the things that fall apart

Mama told me not to run
Not to throw my heart away
She was begging in my arms
And I sure threw it away

Mama told me not to run
Not to throw my heart away
She was begging in my arms
And I sure threw it away



Keep You Safely Through The Night
Mellow's the night the moons hangin' blue
The devil is claiming cahoots over you
But mellowness might be all that you'd find
If you tried to see him through

And when it all comes crashing 
There will be a light
To keep you safely through the night

A pandemonium and wild are the beasts
That race through the city and they cry in the woods
And I know our hearts are filled with the same heat
Our minds with an unsettling cold

And when it all comes crashing
There will be a light
To keep you safely through the night 

The tombstones are tumbling the waters are hot
The streets seem abusive elusive and scathed
I sit on the beach and the man comes and nods 
And I impassively gaze

And when it all comes crashing
There will be a light
To keep you safely through the night 

The painter's polluting the beaches with dye
He stretches the truth for a glimpse of my soul
Covers my eyes uncovers my mind
And makes me feel as a fool

So when it all comes crashing there will be a light

Caroline
Look at me I praise blood and desire 
I was raised by the orchestras fire 
You see I am hung
On the same old song
That they were all along 

So come on dance me to the moon 
You know that we will be there soon
Anyway
So if it’s okay
We can start right away 

Caroline Caroline
Won’t you be a friend of mine
I’ve been trying so very hard
Just to find you

Caroline oh Caroline
With your mouth so sweet
And your eyes divine
I’ve been trying so very hard 
Just to catch a glimpse of you

Caroline Caroline

If you say it’s hard to breathe 
Cause the atmosphere seems out of reach
You’re not wrong
Your breath like in every old song
It shall be gone

If I say come on and teach 
Everything that you deem within reach
Can you read my mind
To see what is inside
Or is that unkind?

Caroline Caroline
You female fertile friend of mine
I’ve been trying so very hard
Just to catch a glimpse of you

Caroline oh Caroline
No don't you dare get off my mind
I’ve been trying so very hard 
Just to hear the smallest word about you

Caroline Caroline

The moonshiner’s singing his tune 
His heart is a wreck and a ruin
The wind’s telling lies
But he doesn’t mind
They are sweet in his eyes

Magic Child
Peasant man on the pleasant hill
Will you know what the wanderer will?

Pleasant hill in the auburn sky
Is it me or you passing by?

Will you tell me where to stay 
Right at the marble furnished gate
Where all my saviors wait
?

Magic child in the dusty town
Is your heart as heavy as my own?

Will you tell me where to stay
Right at the weeping willows shade
Where all my lovers wait

Will you keep my wandering eyes 
Right at your rocky pillow spine
With many a-passing by

Magic child will it be the same
Will the flowers all keep your name?

Will you tell me where to stay
Right in the weeping willows shade
Where all my lovers wait?

Will you keep my wandering eyes 
Right at your rocky pillow spine
With many passing by?

I can’t know what you can see 
I can’t hold nobody here
I can’t hold the heavy feet from the beat
I See You
Lady midnight
Dance into the twilight
Comely waters rise
Sweet is the bloom in your eyes

To resist or to fight
Is not in my might
Or try 
Or even my mind

I climb your mountains so high
And I see you in the wild

Lady midnight
We choke and desire
I'll cry your name
And I'll write
And I'll wire

I saw you a few days before
So easy and pure
A shiver of cold
Of my brain it took hold

I taste your peaches to ripe
And I see you in the wild
I see you in the wild

Lady midnight
You're cold in the morning
Your feet may be frozen
When I'll be awoken

I'll warm your leg
And caress your neck
Oh are we weeping
Oh are we sleeping now

Hear your humming delight
And I see you in the wild 
I see you in the wild

I hear your humming delight
And I see you in the wild
I see you in the wild
Whisky Bar Dance Blues
Our whiskey bar dance ended and it hurts me
Your sad-eyed lowland smiles they hurt me too
Your purple summer dress teases and hurts me
Your perfect body dizzies and makes me blue

And I know this ain't what you want
Humans never say they do
Come on and tell me that I'm wrong
But this is what you choose
This is what you choose to do

And if I would have just one last wish I'd hurt you
If I could I'd put a magic spell on you 
So when the organ grinder'd play my song it'd hurt you
All the children playing on the beach they'd hurt you too

Oh you know this ain't what I want 
It ain't what I came here for
But if it's too late to change the end
Oh well then this is what I choose 
This is what I choose to do

If you must ever hear this song I'm truly sorry
Are you hurt by all these words?
They hurt me too

It really took me by surprise
How much pain it can invoke 
So I would wish you all this harm
Singing the whisky bar dance blues
I'm only trying to say I love you
I'm only trying to say I love you
I'm only trying to say I love you
And you leave me trying to 

Tangling
When the summer comes 
And the winter fades
And the shapeless forms 
Bloom and stain the ways
Then I put my ear 
On a tambourine
Getting blue
Cause it's tangling

And the news is old 
All the same and see 
There's a restless heart
And it feeds my feet
And the summer's gone
And the winter's in
All the old 
Is getting new again 

Then I'm tangling
From the restless way
And my feet are blue
And my ears astray
And my heart it fades
Cause the summer came
And the same
Must now be the same

And I'm tangling
From the restless blues
And my feet are ears
In the summer blooms
And my heart is shaped
And it forms a way
And the same 
Must now be astray

And now pink is black 
And black is blue
There are bluish reds
In a yellow moon
And I yell "oh Lord
Is this all there is?"
Your tulip garden 
And the wilderness

There's Little I Can Do
I speak of a cold and windy room
Now enter a person a bit unknown
I start to imagine a place we might be from
But he says "come on now it's time to go"

If this is all you came here for 
There's little I can do
But if this is all need me for
Let me change just a little more
And I'll go there too 

I speak of a faint the smallest hint
Some weird promise with the least bit of honesty within
I don’t care for little sins but these old ones I’ll try to ignore
Gimme something new that doesn't start me bored

If this is all you came here for
There's little I can do
But if that's all need me for
Let me change just a little more
And I'll go with you 

I break our bread in the early morning sun
I'll share with you even if you won't
I put my face into the water it needs to be done
It still feels alien but sure is fun

If this is all you came here for there is little I can do
But if that's all need me for let me change just a little more
And off we go

My Lady's A Sleeper
My lady's a sleeper 
I think I might keep her stored away in a song 

Where her head is roaming her thought waves are foaming
I don't know but she'll tell me some

You wouldn't expect but once
She might have slept so long her dream became true

My lady's a sleeper 
I think I might keep her stored away in a song

And when the dawn sees the sun arising I
I can't keep my eyes from her form
My lady's a keeper 
I think I might sleep in her arms on the floor

My lady's a sleeper
I think she might keep me stored away in her dream

Siberian plains and Tolstoian games 
St. Peter in shimmery rain

Sad Baltic oceans whatever is floating
Through her meandering brain

My lady's a sleeper 
I think she might keep me stored away in her dream

And when the dawn sees the sun arising I
I can't keep my hands from her skin
My lady's a keeper 
I think I might sleep in her arms till the end of her dream
