CALL ME - Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
You didn’t want to call, you told me
Looking at yourself a bit too close
But I think I know why you did – You need love
Put the darkness all behind you
Try to forge a path ahead
And I think I know what you want – You want love
Call me anytime you want to
Let me know you really care
When you reach your destination – I’ll be there, I’ll be there
Coming home you sounded different
Hard to tell if that's good or bad
Is it my reward or consolation – I don’t know
Call me anytime you want to
Let me know you really care
When you reach your destination – I’ll be there, I’ll be there
(X2)
DEEP RED SUN - Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
You've blown it all to pieces again.
Missed your final chance to make amends.
Don't it make you feel ashamed?
Time's moved on and you haven't changed.
It's wearing thin, it's lost its shine. And the deep red sun's going down.
That early morning feeling is back.
Reminding me of all that I lack.
It probably appears extreme,
but stop and think, then you'll agree.
It's wearing thin, it's lost its shine. And the deep red sun's going down.
I'm sleeping so much better now you've gone.
Now I've got the strength to carry on.
It probably seems hard to you,
but don't pretend you hadn't a clue.
It's wearing thin, it's lost its shine. And the deep red sun's going down.
DIDN'T I - Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
Cuts both ways, and either way it hurts
There’s nothing left that words can say
Compromise, the welcome overstayed
A part that’s overplayed too long
Didn’t I make it better? Didn’t you feel the same?
Shouldn’t we be together? Together….
There you go, in the dirty rain
To cover up the pain you feel
Clever me, survived another fall
The writing’s on the wall for you
Didn’t I make it better? Didn’t you feel the same?
Shouldn’t we be together? Together….
DON'T PRAY FOR ME - Trad/Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
When I was in uniform wasn’t I pretty
When I was in uniform wasn’t I brave
Didn’t I look grand with a gun in my hand
As I met with my downfall
Beat the drum slowly and play the pipe only
Play out the dead march as we go along
Then take me home, I’m just a young soldier
And I’ve never done wrong
Don’t Pray for me, makes no difference now
Don’t pray for me anymore
Six of your soldiers to carry my coffin
Lower me down in my own special hole
Throw bunches of roses to deaden the sound
Of the earth as it falls
Don’t Pray for me, makes no difference now
Don’t pray for me anymore
(X2)
DON'T STAY OUT - Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
Walking by the marshgate boys and girls in SUV’s
I realise we’re only passing through
Leaving you the longest laugh, what have we become
It’s been so lonely without you
Don’t stay out all night, everything will be alright
Even when the fog had cleared, the feeling still remained
Thank heaven it’s not like that anymore
It should feel like flying, but I feel like I’m gonna start crying
Don’t stay out all night, everything will be alright
Don’t stay out all night, everything will be alright
GREEN WOOD SIDE - Trad/Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
She's leaned her back against an oak
all alone and alone
Pushed and she's pushed 'til her back's near broke
down by the green woodside.
She's laid her head against a thorn
all alone and alone
Two little babies there were born
down by the green woodside
She's looked over her father's castle wall
all alone and alone
Two little babies playing with a ball
down by the green woodside
Oh dear babies if you were mine
all alone and alone
Round our necks you'd pull the twine
down by the green woodside
I WISH - Trad/Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
How I wish, but all in vain. I wish I were a maid again.
A maid again I'll never be
'til apples grow on orange trees.
When my apron strings tied low, he'd follow me through rain and snow.
Now my apron's to my chin
he passes by and says nothing.
It's not for me to go and hear the small birds sing.
I'll be staying home and rocking the cradle.
In my grief I'll tell you why. That girl's got more gold than I.
More than I, and wealth and fame,
but she'll become like me again.
Now I wish my child were born, and sitting on her father's knee.
And I was lying by the church
with flowers growing over me.
It's not for me to go and hear the small birds sing.
I'll be staying home, rocking the cradle.
LITTLE PIECE - Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
Waiting for the spring tide to cover up the rain that's fallen.
A little piece human--so fragile and strong.
Never gonna play again
Never gonna run across the sand
The child inside has gone
Since I saw that tiny hand
Feeling disconnected from the fruit inside.
Just give me water, my lips are so dry.
Never gonna play again
Never gonna run across the sand
The child inside has gone
Since I saw that tiny hand
A little piece human--so fragile and strong.
LITTLE SWALLOW - Trad/Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
I wish I was a little swallow, and I had wings, and I could fly.
Back to my true love I would follow,
and when he's talking ,I'd be by.
Whisper words of pearls and diamonds. Win you with his silver tongue.
He's like a star on a summer's morning.
He first appears and then he's gone.
But I'm not a little swallow,I have no wings and I can't fly.
Back to my true love I can't follow,
and when he's laughing I'll sit and cry.
Whisper words of pearls and diamonds. Win you with his silver tongue.
He's like a star on a summer's morning.
He first appears and then he's gone
LOVE IS A KILLING THING - Trad/Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
The first time that I met him, it was in the market place.
Now I wish, with all my heart, I'd never seen his face.
Just the way he looked at me made my heart so sore.
I was sick and bad in love 'til I could love no more.
"Oh, love is such a killing thing", I hear the people say.
And to love and not be loved would waste your soul away.
To be sick and bad in love and not to mend again
Love is such a killing thing, have you ever felt the pain?
I wish he was a robin sitting on the garden wall.
I could be a raindrop and on his wing I'd fall.
We would melt together and softly steal away.
Spend a magic winter's night and never think of day.
" Oh love is such a killing thing", I hear the people say.
Love is such a killing thing.
Have you ever felt the pain?
SPECIAL SOUND - Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
Always keeping calm among the chaos.
Mustn't tell anyone the mess I'm in.
Broken crystals in pools of blood.
Powerless, but still beautiful.
Must you speak in tongues, what you saying?
Say what's on your mind for goodness sake.
I rack my brains to try and understand you.
Powerless, but still beautiful.
Clouds of disappointment gather round
every time I hear your special sound.
DROWNING - Trad/Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
Hold your breath and talk to me
Close your eyes and you will see
flesh and blood aren't all you need to be.
What you think you really are,
only science gone too far.
Don't forget the things they said before.
Come and help me my love, I'm drowning.
I'm calling but I hear no sound.
The water is dark above me,
and below me I can feel no ground.
On our way to town for a wedding gown.
Tomorrow's our wedding day,
but the church will be full of crying
if the water takes this life away.
Come closer to me, my darling.
Let our arms and legs entwine.
Press your pale grey lips against me
and your cold white hand in mine.
The stars will never shine.
The sun will never rise.
The birds no longer sing,
but I'll be with you here for ever
though I'll never wear your wedding ring.
HOLLOWINSIDE - Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
We're not made of stone, we're hollow,
shaking like a snowflake on a thorn.
Hollow inside.
From heart to hand it's a long way.
Everything's so simple in the end.
It's a game just like the last one.
Only stardust cowboys ever win.
Hollow inside.
JACKIE - Trad/Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
For ten long weeks or more I've been with child by you.
So stay at home, my darling, you know our love is true.
You got a letter yesterday, I know you'll have to go.
You promised when they asked you, you wouldn't answer,"No".
Your cheeks are red and rosy, your fingers far too small.
Your body isn't strong enough to face the canon ball.
The canons roar like thunder and the blazing bullets fly.
The silver trumpets sound to drown the mournful cry.
Now I'm all alone, trouble on my mind.
Jackie went a-sailing and left me far behind.
Don't talk of danger. Love is my desire.
I'll go along with you and we can spend some time.
I would sail the seven seas if I could be your bride,
And it's on the field of war I'll lay down by your side.
Now I'm all alone, trouble on my mind.
Jackie went a-sailing and baby's left behind.
NIGHTINGALES - Trad/Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
"Good-morning, good-morning." I heard a man say.
"Now where are you going this fine sunny day"
"I'm going to travel to the shores of the sea,
to see the waters gliding, hear the nightingales sing."
We'd only been there for a minute or two,
when out of his pocket his fiddle he drew.
The tune that he played caused the valleys to ring.
"Oh, listen", I said,"how the nightingales sing."
I'd rather hear nightingales sing than do anything.
"Oh now," he said to me,"it's time I should go."
"Oh no, pretty stranger. Please play one tune more.
I'd rather hear you playing, one touch of the string,
than see the waters gliding, hear the nightingales sing.
I'd rather hear nightingales sing than do anything.
N0 SECOND THOUGHTS - Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
Took me in--didn't think that much.
Went away--never kept in touch.
Told some lies--wiped them all away.
Stole my faith--just another day.
Chatter on--I don't hear a word.
Show me things--vision's kinda blurred.
Touch my heart?--Now you never will.
Know my mind?--Never did at all.
There's no second thoughts, no turning back, no change of heart.
It's too late for that.
Turn around--Look at what you had.
Good is good--Bad is always bad.
Words and deeds never coincide.
Open space--Nowhere left to hide.
SKY - Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
No wonder I'm confused when I go from being used,
to knowing you're the only one for me.
Happens all the time, feeling absolutely fine,
then the sky comes crashing down again.
Doing everything you can, no one called for Superman.
Sometimes it just doesn't seem enough.
Hope you're feeling strong, cos we know it won't be long
'til the sky comes crashing down again.
Be yourself. No need to fight. Just forgive, you know it's right.
Help you if I could, 'though it's never any good.
Might as well be spitting in the wind.
Happens all the time, feeling absolutely fine,
then the sky comes crashing down again.
SOMETHING NEW - Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
It's eerily still in the flowery room and the dusty spiral turns.
Be sure, let me know if you're surfacing soon.
Three black tears are all I have.
Tell me something good.
Tell me something new.
They say the snow's just waiting to fall, but it's such a lovely day.
If I look at the sun with a watery eye, I can see your garden grow.
Tell me something good.
Tell me something new.
Different opinions. Crossing over soon.
SONG OF THE EEL - Trad/Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
Where have you been all day? Tell me, my son.
Where have you been all day, my beloved one?
Across the fields and through the meadows.
Make my bed, there's a pain in my head, and I want to lie down.
What did she cook today? Tell me, my son.
What did she cook today, my beloved one?
A coiled eel full of poison.
Make my bed, there's a pain in my head and I want to lie down.
What will you leave your mother? Tell me, my son.
What will you leave your mother, my beloved one?
A broken heart and the key to Heaven.
Make my bed, there's a pain in my head, and I want to lie down.
What will you leave your wife? Tell me, my son.
What will you leave your wife, my beloved one?
The key to Hell and a rope to hang her.
Make my bed, there's a pain in my head, and I want to lie down.
STONE COLD BABY - Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
Is there any middle ground? Something we could share?
Cos I don't believe that anyone should do the things you do.
You're a stone-cold baby.
Always all for one. Never one for all.
Even if you're small it's true.
Foxfire in the bushes. Whispers in the dark.
And I can't conceive that anyone would say the things you do.
Such a stone-cold baby.
I don't wanna play your silly games.
Soon you'll only shoot me down in flames.
And I don't believe that anyone should do the things you do.
You're a stone-cold baby.
Always all for one. Never one for all.
Even if you're small it's true.
BLOOM - Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
Hold the bloom of youth. Put it in your pocket and keep it warm.
As time passes quickly, we'll see, we'll see.
Take this love of mine. Save it 'til you need it, it's always there.
We lost more than we found. Oh, well, oh, well.
You find it and you keep it,
Keep it just for you.
Nothing's ever easy.
There's nothing left to do.
When you're flying free, don't pretend to miss me, it's all OK.
Sometimes there's no answer. Just be, just be, just be.
THERE'S A LIGHT - Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
Come and take a load off your mind.
Turn the water into wine.
Where you're going next is anybody's guess.
Fooling all the people all the time.
Don't tell the sun not to shine.
Don't tell the birds not to fly.
Some things never change no matter what you say.
I won't sit here waiting while you try.
Sometimes I know you do.
I'm the judge and jury too.
There's a light in the sky, but I haven't seen it.
Far away in the night, or did I dream it?
You can drink my tears if you're dry.
Feed on my soul if you like.
Bleed my every drop, I won't say when to stop.
Nothing cuts as deeply as a lie.
Sometimes I know you do.
I'm the judge and jury too.
There's a light.......
TIME 4 US - Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
What's the use in talking? It doesn't mean a thing.
You didn't buy my heart, just my diamond ring.
Face it head on. The eye of the storm
is passing over you. Do what you have to do.
How can I be sure? I've been this way before.
Will we ever know when it's time for us to go?
What's the use in fighting? It doesn't fix a thing.
Don't want to keep your heart, just my diamond ring.
How can I be sure? I've been this way before.
Will we ever know when it's time for us to go?
TWISTED SPINE - Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
You ask me "What's the matter?" How long have you got?
I don't know where to start:
a twisted spine, a lazy eye, a murmur in my heart.
Oh, when you see me again with another man on my arm.
Oh, time won't end cos I've found a friend of my own.
Although you won't remember, it wasn't that bad,
the best we've had so far.
I won't be there for your sad affair. I won't care where you are.
Oh, when you see me again with another man on my arm.
Oh, time won't end cos I've found a friend of my own.
WASH AWAY - Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
No time for toys, they're just for little boys. Take a pill and change your mind.
No hiding place, I can see it on your face, guess you're not the changing kind.
Still rambling on down the crooked road, don't remember last night's fun.
Mist on the mountain, the dawning of the day, the fairy dance has just begun.
Why must we be blue as the sea? Wash away. Wash away.
Don't give me promises or gold and shiny things. Be here and all is well.
Lay down beside me and rest your weary head. A single breath will break the spell.
Why must we be blue as the sea?
Wash away. Wash away.
WAVING GOODBYE - Neale/Garcia
close lyrics
I know you. You're not fooling. Lost in the middle of now and then.
I'm waving,"Goodbye" to you.
Don't get up to fall again. Wait just a minute, I'll hold your hand.
Drive me home, there's no meaning. Try just a little to understand.
The worst is true. Time's a demon. Lost in the middle of now and then.
I'm waving, "Goodbye" to you.
