Triple Shot Thursday; James Taylor

Fire And Rain


Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this mornin' and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Won't you like down upon me Jesus
You gotta help me make a stand
You just got to see me through another day
My body's achin'and my time is at hand
I won't make it any other way

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Been walkin' my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
Well there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and fine machines in pieces on the ground

Oh I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again
Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things comin' my way this time around
Thought I'd see, thought I'd see you...

Country Road


Take to the highway won't you lend me your name
Your way and my way seem to be one and the same

Mamma don't understand it
She wants to know where I've been
I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool
To want to pass that way again
But I could feel it
On a country road

Sail on home to Jesus won't you good girls and boys
I'm all in pieces, you can have your own choice
But I can hear a heavenly band full of angels
And they're coming to set me free
I don't know nothing 'bout the why or when
But I can tell that it's bound to be
Because I could feel it, child, yeah
On a country road

I guess my feet know where they want me to go
Walking on a country road

Take to the highway won't you lend me your name
Your way and my way seem to be one and the same, child
Mamma don't understand it
She wants to know where I've been
I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool
To want to pass that way again
But I could feel it
On a country road

Walk on down, walk on down, walk on down
Walk on down, walk on down a country road
country road
Walking on a country road

Long Ago And Far Away


Long Ago and Far Away
long ago a young man sits
and plays his waiting game
but things are not the same it seems
as in such tender dreams
slowly passing sailing ships
on sunday afternoon
like the people on the moon i've seen
are things not meant to be
where do those golden rainbows end
(where do the rainbows end)
why is this song so sad
(why is this song so sad)
dreaming the dreams i dream my friend
(dreaming the dreams i dream)
loving the love i love
to love is just a word i've heard
when things are being said
stories my poor head has told me
can not stand the cold
and in between what might have been
and what has come to pass
are misbegotten guests alas
and bits of broken glass
where do your golden rainbows end
(where do the rainbows end)
why is the song i sing so sad
(why is this song so sad)
dreaming the dreams i dream my friend
(dreaming the dreams i dream)
loving the love i love
to love to love to love
where do your golden rainbows end
(where do the rainbows end)
why is the song i sing so sad
(why is this song so sad)
dreaming the dreams i dream my friend
(dreaming the dreams i dream)
loving the love i love
to love to love to love
whoa no no no no no

Crash

The primitives

here you go way to fast
don't slow down you're gonna crash
you should watch - watch your stay here
don't look out you're gonna break your neck
so shut , shut your mouth
cause I'm not listening anyhow
i've had enough, enough of you
enough to last a life time through
so what do you want of me?
got no words of sympathy and if i go around with you
you know that i'll get messed up too with you

na na na na na
na na na na na

here you go way to fast
don't slow down you're gonna crash
you don't know what's been going down
you've been running all over town

so shut , shut your mouth
cause i'm not listening anyhow
i've had enough, enough of you
enough to last a life time through
so what do you want of me?
got no cure for misery and if I go around with you
you know that i'll get messed up too with you

with you
na na na na na
slow down you're gonna crash
na na na na na
slow down you're gonna crash
na na na na na
slow down you're gonna crash

Trick Pony


On a Night Like This


Now when I was a young girl
My dad warned me about the opposite sex
He'd say, yeah, that's just what you need
Some crazy boy with wild ideas
You know what always happens next

I tried to heed his advice
Now I'm thinkin' it sounds kinda nice

Chorus:
It's just what I need on a night like this
A long walk in the dark, someone I can't resist
A little rendezvous, a little mystery
When I look at you I think that's just what I need

Now my momma told me in this dog-eat-dog world
You gotta work harder than a man
She'd say, yeah that's just what you need
Some romance book Romeo callin' you at work
and messin' up your plans

Night falls, I slow down
I start dreamin' of you comin' around

(chorus)

Moonlight, sweet bliss
Melting with every kiss
Dancin' real slow
When you hold me close I know

(chorus)

Just what I need
Just what I need
Oh yeah

Love Is A Heart Attack

Love is a pain
Love is a heart attack
It's so easy to take
But so hard to give back
The doctor told me this is a showdown
You're living too fast
You've got to slow down
You're heart can't take it
You're gonna break it
You're not gonna make it.

Love is a pain
Love is a heart attack
It's so easy to fall in
But so hard to get back
The doctor told me, you've got to choose
Between living or dying
And sex, drugs, and booze
Drugs I can handle
Booze I can quit
But giving up love, I can't take it.

Death is nature's way of telling you to stop
Love, is a heart attack
Sex is just the icing on the top
Underneath, everything is jet black.

Set your pacemaker to a boogie beat
You gotta dance, love out of your life
Set your pacemaker to a boogie beat
You gotta dance, love out of your life
Set your pacemaker to a boogie beat
You gotta dance, love out of your life
Set your pacemaker to a boogie beat
You gotta dance, dance, dance.

(Guitar Solo)

I've got one more night to live
Maybe two, if we can take it slow
One more night of love
With you, such a nice way to go
Love is a pain
Love is a heart attack.

Love is a pain
Love is a heart attack.

Too Late the Hero

Too late the hero
It all comes to zero
And I, I wish I could stop
And start it again.

It's the end of my movie
The bad guys beat me easy
And I, I wish I could stop
And start it again.

It's easy to live in your imagination
If you can't control the situation
You just cut and start it again
It's easy to live in your imagination
You have to make an alteration
You just cut and start it again.

How I wish I could live on the silver screen
Like the stars in the movie magazines
With a happy ending as the final scene.

Too late the hero
It all comes to zero
And I, I wish I could stop
And start it again.

It's the end of my movie
The bad guys beat me easy
And I, I wish I could stop
And start it again.

It's easy, the villains always wear black
They see your guns and turn back
It only happens in the movies
It's easy, the heroes always wear white
The ladies fall off the sight
It only happens in the movies.

As the Viking ship drifts off to the sea
The black sail bursts into fire
I turn to kiss the princess
I have to pacify her
The arrows fall
The sky is red
The music gets higher and higher.

The battle's done
I'm on my way home
A hero's welcome on the shore
Single handed, all by myself
I've just won the war
It was nothing, really.

Love Reign O'er Me


Only love
Can make it rain
The way the beach is kissed by the sea.
Only love
Can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers'
Laying in the fields.

Love, Reign o'er me.
Love, Reign o'er me, rain on me.

Only love
Can bring the rain
That makes you yearn to the sky.
Only love
Can bring the rain
That falls like tears from on high.

Love Reign O'er me.
On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spend apart alone
I need to get back home to cool cool rain.
The nights are hot and black as ink
I can't sleep and I lay and I think

Oh God, I need a drink of cool cool rain.

Faith In Something Bigger



It may be warm but the snow is going to fall,
Enough to cover us all.
We've gotta be strong men and follow a path again.

We've got to have faith in something bigger,
Faith in something bigger,
Faith in something big inside ourself.

It might be cold but the heat of our love will melt,
The snow we never felt.
We're young and hardy again, we bow to weaker men.

We've got to have faith in something bigger,
Faith in something bigger,
Faith in something big inside ourself.

The more we learn, the less we believe to be true.
The more we prove, the more remains to be proved.
We've gotta be strong men and follow a path again.

We've got to have faith in something bigger,
Faith in something bigger,
Faith in something big inside ourself, inside ourself.

Faith in something bigger

Delirious - Deeper

I want to go deeper
But I don't know how to swim
I want to be meeker
But have you seen this old earth?
I want to fly higher
But these arms won't take me there
I want to be, I want to be

Maybe I could run
Maybe I could fly, to you
Do you feel the same
When all you see is
Blame in me?

And the wonder of it all is that I'm living just to fall
More in love with you [x2]

I want to go deeper
But is it just a stupid whim?
I want to be weaker
Be a help to the strong
I want to run faster
But this old leg won't carry me
I want to be, I want to be

Maybe I could run
Maybe I could fly, to you
Do you feel the same
When all you see is
Blame in me?

And the wonder of it all is that I'm living just to fall
More in love with you [x2]

Maybe I could run
Maybe I could follow
It's time to walk the path
Where many seem to fall
Hold me in your arms
Just like any father would
How long do we have to wait?
How long, we're going all the way

And the wonder of it all is that I'm living just to fall
More in love with you

I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)
The Four Tops

Sugar pie, honey bunch
You know that I love you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else

In and out my life
You come and you go
Leaving just your picture behind
And I kissed it a thousand times

When you snap your finger or wink your eye
I come a-running to you
I'm tied to your apron strings
And there's nothing that I can do
Can't help myself
No, I cant help myself

Sugar pie, honey bunch
I'm weaker than a man should be
I cant help myself
I'm a fool in love you see

Wanna tell you I don't love you
Tell you that we're through
And I've tried
But every time I see your face
I get all choked up inside

When I call your name
Girl, it starts the flame
Burning in my heart
Tearing it all apart
No matter how I try
My love I cannot hide

'Cause sugar pie, honey bunch
You know that I'm weak for you
Can't help myself
I love you and nobody else

Sugar pie, honey bunch
Do anything you ask me to
Can't help myself
I want you and nobody else

All The Things You Are

Lyrics by: Oscar Hammerstein II (O. Greeley Clendenning H. II)
Music by: Jerome Kern (J. David K.)

Time and again I've longed for adventure,
Something to make my heart beat the faster.
What did I long for? I never really knew.
Finding your love I've found my adventure,
Touching your hand, my heart beats the faster,
All that I want in all of this world is you.

You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long.
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song.
You are the angel glow that lights a star,
The dearest things I know are what you are.
Some day my happy arms will hold you,
And some day I'll know that moment divine,
When all the things you are, are mine!

Oh! What a Beautiful Morning

Lyrics by: Oscar Hammerstein II (O. Greeley Clendenning H. II)
Music by: Richard Rodgers
From the Film: Oklahoma! 1943 (S) 1955 (M)

There's a bright golden haze on the meadow
There's a bright golden haze on the meadow
The corn is as high as an elephant's eye
And it looks like it's climbing clear up to the sky

Oh, what a beautiful mornin', oh what a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin' everything's goin' my way

All the sounds of the earth are like music
All the sounds of the earth are like music
The breeze is so busy it don't miss a tree
And the little ole willow is laughin' at me

Oh, what a beautiful mornin', oh, what a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin' everything's goin' my way

Oh, what a beautiful mornin', what a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin' everything's goin' my way

Ol' Man River

Lyrics by: Oscar Hammerstein II (O. Greeley Clendenning H. II)
Music by: Jerome Kern (J. David K.)
From the Show: Show Boat 1927 (S)

Here we all work 'long the Mississippi
Here we all work while the white folk play
Pullin' them boats from the dawn till sunset
Gettin' no rest till the judgment day

Don't look up and don't look down
Ya don't dast make the white boss frown
Bend your knees and bow your head
And pull that rope until you're dead

Let me go 'way from the Mississippi
Let me go 'way from the white man boss
Show me that stream called the River Jordan
That's the old stream that I long to cross

Ol' Man River, that Ol' Man River
He must know somepin', but he don't say nothin'
He just keeps rollin', he keeps on rollin' along

He don't plant taters, and he don't plant cotton
And them what plants 'em is soon forgotten
But Ol' Man River, jest keeps rollin' along

You and me, we sweat and strain
Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain
Tote that barge and lift that bale
Ya get a little drunk and ya lands in ja-ail

I gets weary and so sick of tryin'
I'm tired of livin', but I'm feared of dyin'
And Ol' Man River, he just keeps rollin' along

What'll I Do

Written by: Irving Berlin (b. Israel Balin)
From the Show: Alexander's Ragtime Band 1938 (S)
From the Show: Music Box Revue of 1923 (S)
From the Film: Big City 1948 (M)

What'll I do?
When you are far away
And I am blue
What'll I do?

What'll I do?
When I am wond'ring who
Is kissing you
What'll I do?

What'll I do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to?

When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true
What'll I do?

What'll I do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to?

When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true
What'll I do?

I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face

Words and Music by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe from the Broadway musical "My Fair Lady"

# 70 hit for Rosemary Clooney (as "…YOUR Face") in 1956

I've grown accustomed to your face
It almost makes the day begin
I've grown accustomed to the tune you whistle night and noon
Your smiles, your frowns, the ups, the downs
Are second nature to me now
Like breathing out and breathing in
I was serenely independent and content before we met
Surely I could always be that way again and yet
I've grown accustomed to your looks, accustomed to your voice
Accustomed to your face

I'm very grateful >>>>> and so easy to forget
Rather like a habit one can always break and yet
I've grown accustomed to the trace of something in the air
Acustomed to your face

[SlowwHand]

SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER
The Motels

It happened one summer, it happened one time
It happened forever, for a short time
A place for a moment, an end to dream
Forever I loved you, forever it seemed

CHORUS:

One summer never ends, one summer never began
It keeps me standing still, it takes all my will
And then suddenly last summer
Sometimes I never leave, but sometimes I would
Sometimes I stay too long, sometimes I would
Sometimes it frightens me, sometimes it would
Sometimes I'm all alone and wish that I could

CHORUS

And then suddenly last summer

CHORUS

And then suddenly last summer

Until suddenly last summer
And then suddenly last summer
Until suddenly last summer...

"Seven Bridges Road"
Eagles


There are stars
In the Southern sky
Southward as you go
There is moonlight
And moss in the trees
Down the Seven Bridges Road

Now I have loved you like a baby
Like some lonesome child
And I have loved you in a tame way
And I have loved you wild

Sometimes there's a part of me
Has to turn from here and go
Running like a child from these warm stars
Down the Seven Bridges Road

There are stars in the Southern sky
And if ever you decide
You should go
There is a taste of time sweetened honey
Down the Seven Bridges Road

[Sprayber]

Sweet, In A Haunting Sort Of Way.

It would have been wonderful.

Didn't Leave Nobody But The Baby
Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss And Gillian Welch



go to sleep little baby
go to sleep little baby

your momma's gone away and your daddy's gonna stay
didn't leave nobody but the baby

go to sleep little baby
go to sleep little baby

everybody's gone in the cotton and the corn
didn't leave nobody but the baby

you're a sweet little baby
you're a sweet little baby

honey in the rock and the sugar don't stop
gonna bring a bottle to the baby

don't you weep pretty baby
don't you weep pretty baby

she's long gone with her red shoes on
gonna need another loving baby

go to sleep little baby
go to sleep little baby

you and me and the devil makes three
don't need no other lovin' baby

go to sleep little baby
go to sleep little baby

come lay your bones on the alabaster stones
and be my everlovin baby

Question I Ask Myself

When Will It Rain
Jackyl

When will it rain I feel the heat burning through my shoes
Soft shoulders are getting harder, adding to my blues
Can't count the days gone by, can't wash away the stain
On the life behind me from which I came

The day is getting longer
The heat is getting hotter
The sun will show no mercy, my nights are spent in vain
I chose this long road and on it I remain
When will it rain

When will it rain
Can't stand this heat from the road can't stand the pain
When will it rain
It's burnin holes in my shoes won't you tell me
When will it rain
I think I'm going insane
When will it rain
I'm on the road that will never take me home
When will it rain

When will it rain my mouth is as dry as desert sand
And I've tried to hide in every corner of this land
You can't lose the things attached or that's what they say
Things I loved, attached or not I've thrown away

The day is getting longer
The heat is getting hotter
The sun will show no mercy, my nights are spent in vain
I chose this long road and on it I remain
When will it rain

When will it rain
Can't stand this heat from the road can't stand the pain
When will it rain
It's burnin holes in my shoes won't you tell me
When will it rain
I think I'm going insane
When will it rain
I'm on the road that will never take me home
When will it rain

I've walked for miles and miles in a dead man's shoes
You can walk, you can run but you can't hide from the blues
And I've felt the pain of the world falling down on me

All I need is a little cool rain to set me free

The day is getting longer
The heat is getting hotter
The sun will show no mercy, my nights are spent in vain
I chose this long road and on it I remain
When will it rain

When will it rain
Can't stand this heat from the road can't stand the pain
When will it rain
It's burnin holes in my shoes won't you tell me
When will it rain
I think I'm going insane
When will it rain
I'm on the road that will never take me home


When will it rain, when will it rain, when will it rain

True Colors


You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow


(When I last saw you laughing)
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors
true colors
true colors
Shining through

I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

The Eagles - Peaceful Easy Feeling

I like the way your sparkling earrings lay,
against your skin, it's so brown
and I wanna sleep with you
in the desert tonight
with a billion stars all around


'cause I gotta peaceful easy feeling
and I know you won't let me down
'cause I'm already standing on the ground


And I found out a long time ago
what a woman can do to your soul
Ah, but she can't take you anyway
You don't already know how to go


and I gotta peaceful, easy feeling
and I know you won't let me down
'cause I'm already standing on the ground


I get this feeling I may know you
as a lover and a friend
but this voice keeps whispering
in my other ear, tells me
I may never see you again


'cause I get a peaceful, easy feeling
and I know you won't let me down
'cause I'm already standing on the ground
'cause I'm already standing...
on the ground
oooo, oooo
