Poor Tom

Here's a tale of Tom
Who worked the rivers run
His wife would cook his meat
As he would care at the wheel

Poor Tom, Seventh Son, Always knew what's goin on

Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
There ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom

Worked for thirty years
Sharin' hopes and fears
Dreamin' of the day
He could turn and say:

Poor Tom, work's gone, lazin' out in the noonday sun

Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom

His wife was Ellie May
One of many games she played
When Tom was out of town
She couldn't keep her dresses down

Poor Tom, Seventh Son, always knew what's goin on

Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom

And so it was one day
People got to Ellie May

Tom took a gun in his hand
And stopped all the runnin' around

Poor Tom, Seventh Son, gotta die for what you've done

All those years of work are thrown away
To ease your mind is that all you can say?
But what about that grandson on your knee?
And railroad's son is the best he could be

Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom
Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
There ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom

Keep-a Truckin'
Keep-a Truckin'
Akulelah


I Can't Quit You Baby

I can't quit you babe
Woman I think I'm gonna put you down for a little while
I can't quit you babe
I... think I'm gonna put you down for a while
I said you messed up my happy home
Made me mistreat my only child

You built my hopes so high
Baby then you let me down so low
You built my hopes so high then ya let me down... so low
Don'tcha realize sweet baby?
Woman I don't know... which way to go

Woman I can't quit you babe
I think I'm gonna put you down for a while

Walter's Walk

Ooooh...oh it feels so strange to be at the door
Oooh...tryin hard to change but can't let go
Oooh...cryin' tears of pain and more and more
Oooh...everyday is the same as the one before

I'm walkin the floor over you
I'm walkin the floor

Every heart that breaks is a heart that's gold
To the hand that takes your dream that's sold

Oooh...Is it long to wait is it much too late?
Oooh...Sometimes it's hard when you wanted the pain

You know it's hard
I said it's hard
You know it's true
I said it's hard
You know it's hard
You know it's true

Everyday the ??? smile is ours?
When you hear the call can you count the cards?
And to say the longer you only have
Can you step inside does it matter now

Every love that's ?????????
Can't hide in the light for a heart ???
Every day of ????
She was smilin' tears at her waters fall

You know it's true
You know it's true now
Oooh yeah

I'm walkin the floor over you
I'm walkin' the floor
Every tear that fallen when the smile is warm
When you hear the call can you count the card?
Can you stand the love you want around?
Can you step inside

Does it matter now?
Does it matter now?
Does it matter now?

ooh yeah

Every tear that's fall... does it matter now
Does it matter now oh yeah!
Oh yeah!
Oh yes!

Hot Dog

Well I just went into town today *
To find my girl who's gone away
She took the Greyhound from the general store
I search myself I search the town
When I finaly did sat down
I find myself no wiser than before

She said we couldn't do no wrong
No other love could be so strong
She locked up my heart in her bottom drawer
Now she took my heart she took my keys
>From in my old blue dungarees
And I'll never go to Texas anymore

Now my baby's gone I don't know what to do
She took my love and walked right out the door
And if I ever find that girl I know one thing for sure
I'm gonna give her something like she never had before

I took her love at seventen
A little late these days it seems
And they said heaven knows who she's waiting for *
I took her word I took it all
Beneath the sign that said U-haul
Sweet little angel's hanging around for more

Now my baby's gone I don't know what to do
She took my love and walked right out the door
And if I ever find that girl I know one thing for sure
I'm gonna give her something like she never had before

I thought I had it all sown up
Our love, a plot, a pickup truck
But folks said she was after something more
I never did quite understand
All that talk aout rocking bands
But they just rolled my doll right out the door
They just rolled my doll right out the door
Why---theyjustrolledmydollrightoutthedoor
Akulelah


All My Love

Should I fall out of love, my fire in the night,
to chase a feather in the wind;
within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight
there moves a thread that has no end.

For many hours and days that pass ever soon,
the tides have caused the flame to dim.
At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom.
Is this to end or just begin?

Chorus:
All of my love, all of my love, oh,
all of my love to you, now.
All of my love, all of my love,
all of my love to you, now.

The cup is raised, the toast is maade yet again;
one voice is clear above the din.
Proud Arian one word, my will to sustain.
For me, the cloth once more to spin. Oh.

repeat chorus

Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time,
his is the force that lies within.
Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find.
He is a feather in the wind. Oh.

repeat chorus and fade
Akulelah


Carouselambra

Sistres of the way-side bide their time in quiet peace,
await their place within the ring of calm;
still stand to turn in seconds of release,
await the call they know may never come.
In times of lightness, no intruder dared upon
to jeodardize the course, upset the run;
and all was joy and hands were raised toward the sun
as love in the halls of plenty overrun.

Still in their bliss unchallenged mighty feast,
unending dances shadowed on the day.
Within their walls, their daunting formless keep,
preserved their joy and kept their doubts at bay.
Faceless legions stood in readiness to weep,
just turn a cion, bring order to the fray;
and ev'rything is soon no sooner thought than deed,
but no one seemed to question anyway.

How keen the hunter's eye prevails upon the land
to seek the unsuspecting and the weak;
and powerless the fabled sat, too smug to lift a hand
toward the foe that threatened from the deep.
Who cares to dry the cheeks of those who saddened stand
adrift upon a sea of futile speech?

Where was your word, where did you go?
Where was your helping, where was your bow? Bow.

Dull is the armour, cold is the day.
Hard was the journey, dark was the way. Way.

I heard the word; I couldn't stay. Oh.
I couldn't stand it another day, another day-ay,
another day, another day.

Touched by the timely coming, roused from the keeper's sleep,
release the grip, throw down the key.
Held now within the knowing, rest now within the peace.
Take of the fruit, but guard the seed.

Held now within the knowing, rest now within the beat.
Take of the fruit, but guard the seed.
Take of the fruit, but guard the seed.

Achilles Last Stand

It was an April morning
When they told us we should go
As I turn to you
You smiled at me
How could we say no?

With all the fun to have
To live the dreams we always had
Woa the songs to sing
When we at last return again

Sending off a glancing kiss
To those who claim they know
To know the streets the seaman hears
The devil is in his hole

Oh to sail away
To sandy lands and other days
Oh to touch the dream
Hides inside and never seen, yeah

Into the sun the south the north
Lies the first of hope
The shackles of commitment fell
In pieces on the ground

Oh to ride the wind
To tread the air above the din
Oh to laugh aloud
Dancing as we fought the crowd

To seek the man whose pointing hand
The giant step unfolds
With guidance from the curving path
That churns up into stone

If one bell should ring
In celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat
As proud the head with heavy feet, yeah

Days went by when you and I
Made an eternal summers glow
As far away and distant
Our mutual time to grow

Oh the sweet refrain
Soothes the soul and calms the pain
Oh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again

Wandering upon the rings
What place to rest the search
The mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth

The mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth

From the earth
Ooooooooooooooh

I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way (2x)

Ooh, ahh, etc...

Oh the mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth
Oooh, ahh, etc...
Akulelah


For Your Life

You said I was the only, oh, oh
With my lemon in your hand
Exhibition is your habit
Emotions second hand, oh, oh
Had to pull away to save me
Maybe next time around
And she said, don't you wannit?
Don't you want coca-coca-cocaine?
Hadn't planned to, could not stand to
Try it, friend, yeah, na, na, yeah
Whoo ooh ooh ooh

Heard a cry for mercy
In the city of the damned
Oh oh babe, damned
Impossible to go lower
The next stop's on the ground
Oh, low on the ground
You want to know is it quite over
To fame and tears and losing hair
And I said didn't mean to... did not mean to f-fail
You didn't plan it, you overran it...yeeeeeeah!

You wanna do it, you wanna
You wanna do it when you wanna
You wanna do it, do it when you wanna

When you blow it, babe
You got to blow it right
Oh baby, if you fake it, mama
Baby, fake with all your might
When you fake it, mama
Please fake it right

For yourself, babe, will you fake it?
You're fakin' it for your life
For your life
For your life
For your life

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it when you wanna
Do it, do it, do it
Do it when you wanna

Oh, I can have you, baby
But I don't know what to do, yeah
Sometime, baby, nothin' I could do

Wanna find myself a crystal
Payin' through the nose

And when they couldn't resist you
I said "Just go with the flow"

And now your stage is empty
and now the curtain, baby please.
Fold up your show

Hadn't planned to
Could not stand to
(fryin!)
Hadn't planned it
I over ran in
(fryin!)
For your life
Akulelah


Royal Orleans

One town love
You better take care how you use it
Try to make it last all night
And if you take your pick
Be careful how you choose it
Sometimes its hard to feel it bite
Feel it bite

A man I know, went down to Louisiana
Had himself a bad, bad fight
And when the sun peeks through
John Cameron he sees (sandy???)
He kissed the whiskers and left and right
Whiskers!

Now, now, now
A fight subsides
Out at a hotel in the quarter
A friendship took a bash tonight
Now love gets hot
Look far for a sea with water
Grew whiskers sittin' there through the night

Whiskers!

Down on Bourbon street
You know it's right
You can see my friend
When they run around us in the night
Most everywhere
Until the closet's bare
Run for the razor, fun
Doin' up my hair

New Orleans queens
Sure know how to schmooz it
Maybe for some that seems alright
When I step out
I'm struck down with my sugar
She wears my cloak like fairy white
Now, one town love
Take care how you use it
And try to make it last all night
Take your pick
Be careful how you choose it
Sometimes it's hard to feel it bite.
Akulelah


Nobody's Fault But Mine

Ah, ah, ah ...

Oh, it's nobody's fault but mine

Devil he told me to roll
The devil he told me to roll
How to roll the line tonight
Nobody's fault but mine

Ah, ah, ah ...

Somebody show me the (gun? door? gong?)
Somebody show me the ding dong ding dong
I will get down rolling tonight ?????????
Oh, it's nobody's fault but mine

That monkey on my back
The m-m-m-m-monkey on my back, back, back
Gonna change my ways tonight
Nobody's fault but mine
Akulelah

Hots On For Nowhere

I was burned in the heat of the moment,
Oh! it could've been the heat of the day
When I learned how my time had been wasted,
Dear fellows I turned away
Now I've got friends who will give me their shoulder,
When I should happen to fall
Time and his bride growing older
I've got friends who will give me fish all ???????????

La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, na, na, baby
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, la

Corner of Bleeker and nowhere
In the land of not quite day
A shiver runs down my backbone
Face in the mirror turns grey
So, I looked 'round for a hitch from a reindeer
Said you oughtta find him out in the day
I turned 'round to look for the snowman
To my surprise he'd melted away, yeah

La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, na, na, baby
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, la

The moon and the stars out of order
As the tide tends to ebb and sway
The sun in my soul's sinking lower
While the hope in my hands turns to clay
I don't ask that my feet fall on clover
I don't roam at opportunity's door
Why don't you ask my advice, take it slower
Then your story'd be your finest reward ??????????

La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, na, na, baby
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, la

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

[guitar solo]

Lost on the path to attainment
Search in the eyes of the wise
When I bled from the heart of the matter (matchhead?)
I started bleeding without a disguise
Now everything's finally happened
Now and then you've got to take time to pause
When you're down on the ground, don't be messin' around
Or you'll land in a boat without oars

La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, na, na, baby
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, la

Hey babe, Hey babe, Hey babe,
I lost my way.

Hey babe, Hey babe,
I really, really did now.

Hey babe, Hey babe,
I don't know where I'm gonna find it.

Hey babe, Hey babe,
Do you wanna know,
Do you really, really, wanna help me, yeah?

Let me tell you now, babe
Let me tell you
That it feels so good that it must be right

Now my babe,
Let me tell you
That it feels so good that it must be right

Now my babe,
Let me tell you
If it feels, if it feels, if it feels, if it feels so good, so good, so good
Oh, yes.

Custard Pie


Rock down, lady, by the sea
Rock down, mama, just dream of me
Mama, love me, fool around all night long
Well, I'm made of braken gravy
I should know right from wrong

See me comin' slowly on by your door
Ain't no stranger, I been this way before
See me comin', mama, slowly on by your door
I ain't no stranger, I been this way before

Put on your night shirt and your morning gown
You know by night I'm gonna shake 'em on down
Put on your night shirt, mama
And your morning gown
Well, you know by night
I'm surely gonna shake 'em on down
Shake it, shake it

Ooh, your custard pie, ain't seen the like
When you cut it, mama, save me a slice
Your custard pie, I declare, ain't seen the like
I like your custard pie
When you cut it, mama
Mama, please save me a slice, oh

Chew on a piece of your custard pie

The Rover

I've been to London, seen seven wonders
I know to trip is just to fall
I used to walk it, sometimes I'd roll it
I always knew what it was for
There can't be no denyin'
That the wind is shakin' down
And the flatworm cryin'
And the new plague on the land

If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
If we could just join (hands)

Converse the planet when heaven send me
I saw the kings who rule them all
Still by the firelight and purple moonlight
I hear the rustin' rivers call
And the wind is cryin'
I'm a little bit more grown cold
My lover, she is lyin'
On the dark side of the globe

You got me rockin' when I ought to be alone
Darlin', come on, tell me, darlin', which way to go
You keep me rockin', baby, then you keep me spinnin'
Won't you tell me darlin', which way to go
That's right

Oh how I wonder, oh how I worry
And I would dearly like to know
I always wonder if earthly plunder
Will leave us anything to show
And our time is flyin'
See the candle burnin' low
Is the new world risin' from the shambles of the old
Akulelah


In My Time Of Dying

In my time of dyin', want nobody to moan
All I want them to do is take my body home

Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Well, well, well, so I can die easy

Oh, Saint Peter, I can make amends
Won't you let me in

Oh, oh Gabriel, let me blow your horn
Let me blow your horn

I only can be young once
I never thought I'd do anybody no wrong
No not once

Oh, I did somebody so good
Somebody some good, yeah
Oh, did somebody some good, yeah
I must have did somebody some good, yeah
Oh, I believe I did, I seen the smilin' faces
I know I must have left some traces

And I seen them in the streets
And I seen them in the theater
And I even felt my feet
And I never tried to be real
Oh, lord, deliver me all the wrongs I've done
Oh, you can deliver me, lord
I only wanted to have some fun

Oh, keep the angels marchin', marchin'
Keep them marchin', keep them marchin', marchin'
Oh, my Jesus (Repeat)
That's got to be my Jesus
It's got to be, it's got to be my Jesus
It's got to be, oh it's got to be my Jesus
Oh, gonna take me home
Come on, come on
I can hear the angels singin', oh
Here they come, here they come, here they come
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Oh, it's pretty good up here, pretty good up here
I'll touch Jesus (Repeat)
Oh, oh yeah, I seen him, yeah, come on
Oh, don't you make it my dyin', dyin', dyin', cough
Akulelah


Houses Of The Holy

Let me take you to the movies
Can I take you to the show
Let me be yours ever truly
Can I make your garden grow

>From the houses of the holy
We can watch the white doves go
>From the door comes Satan's daughter
And it only goes to show that you know

There's an angel on my shoulder
In my hand a sword of gold
Let me wander in your garden
And the seeds of love I'll sow, you know

So the world is spinning faster
Are you dizzy when you're stoned
Let the music be your master
Will you heed the master's call
Oh, Satan and man

Said there ain't no use in cryin'
'Cause it'll lonely only drive you mad
Does it hurt to hear him lyin'
Was this the only world you had, oh

So let me take you, take you to the movie
Can I take you, baby, to the show
Why don't you let me be yours ever truly
Can I make your garden grow, you know I'll try
Akulelah


Trampled Under Foot

Grease me down, good electric
I could lay it on the road, mama, it ain't no trick

Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout

Oh, trouble free transmission puncture to explode
Mama let me pump your gas
Mama let me do it all

Take that heavy metal underneath your hood
Baby, I could rev all night, leave a big pile of tubes

Automobile club covered, really built in style
Special tradition, mama, come feast your eyes

Factory air conditioned, took me by surprise
Guaranteed to run for hours, mama, brand new tires

Groovin' on the freeway, drivin' on the road
>From now on my gasoline is gonna be free of lead

I can't stop talkin' about
I can't stop talkin' about, oh yes, drive on

Come to me for service every hundred miles
baby, let me change your valves, fix your overdrive

Fully automatic, comes in any size
Makes me wonder what I did before I got synchronized

Oh, baby, like suspension I just couldn't hold
I'm so glad I took a look inside you showroom door

I can't stop talkin' about love
I can't stop talkin' about love
Oh, let me let it down (Repeat)
I can't stop talkin' about
I can't stop talkin' about love, my baby . . .

Kashmir

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
And stars fill my dream
I'm a traveller of both time and space
To be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race
This world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait
All will be revealed

Talk in song from tongues of lilting grace
Sounds caress my ear
And not a word I heard could I relate
The story was quite clear

Ooh, baby, I been blind
Oh, yeah, mama, there ain't no denyin'
Oh, ooh yes, I been blind
Mama, mama, ain't no denyin', no denyin'

All I see turns to brown
As the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand
As I scan this razor line
Can I find, can I find where I've been

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like sorts inside a dream
Leave the path the led me to that place
Yellow desert stream
Like Shangri-la beneath the summer moon
I will return again
As the dust that floats finds you
Will move and search Kashmir

Oh, father of the four winds fill my sails
Cross the sea of years
With no provision but an open face
Along the straits of fear

Oh, when I want, when I'm on my way, yeah
And my feet wear my fickle way to stay
Ooh, yeah yeah, ooh, yeah yeah, but I'm down
Ooh, yeah yeah, ooh, yeah yeah, but I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oh, my baby
Let me take you there
Come on, oh let me take you there
Let me take you there
Akulelah


In The Light

And if you feel that you can't go on
And your will's sinking low
Just believe and you can't go wrong
In the light you will find the road
You'll find the road

Hey, ooh, did you ever believe
That I could leave you standin' out in the cold
Hey, baby, I know how it feels
'Cause I have slipped through
To the very depths of my soul
Oh, baby, I just want to show you what I'd give you
In case you ever been on the road
Now, listen, oh, as I was and would do for you, too
Honey, as you would do for me
I would share your load, let me share load
Ooh, let me share you load

And if you feel that you can't go on
In th light you will find the road

Hey, oh the winds of change my blow around you
But that will always be so
Oh wo, when love is pain it can devour you
If you are ever alone
I'll share your load, I will share your load
Baby, let me, oh let me, in the light
Everybody needs a light, oh yeah, oh baby
Everybody, everybody, everybody sure 'nuff they do
Light, light, light, in the light

Down By The Seaside

Down by the seaside
See the boats go sailin'
Can the people hear, oh
What the little fish are sayin'

The people turned away
The people turned away

Down in the city streets
See all the folk go racin', racin'
No time left, no no
To pass the time of day
So far away, so far away

See how they run, see how they run
See how they run, see how they run
Run, run, run

Do you still do the twist
Do you find you remember things that well
I want to tell you, some folks twistin' every day
Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell

Out in the country
Hear the people singin'
Singin' 'bout their progress
Knowin' where they're goin', yeah, yeah

Sing loud for the sunshine
Pray hard for the rain
And show your love for lady nature
And she will come back again

Now they know where they're goin'
Akulelah


Ten Years Gone

Then as it was, then again it will be
Though the course may change sometimes
Rivers always reach the sea

Like stars of fortune
Each has separate rays
On the wings of maybe
Down in birds of prey
Kind of makes me feel sometimes
I didn't have to grow
But as the eagle leaves the nest
He got so far to go

Changes fill my time
Baby, that's all right with me
In the midst I think of you
And how it used to be

Did you ever really need somebody
And really need 'em bad
Did you ever really want somebody
The best love you ever had
Do you ever remember me, baby
Did it feel so good
'Cause it was just the first time
And you knew you would

Turn the eyes and I sparkle
Senses growing keen
Tasting love along the way
See your feathers preen
Kind of make you feel sometimes
Didn't hard to grow
We are eagles of one nest
The nest is in our souls

Vixen in my dreams with great surprise to me
Never thought I'd see your face the way it used to be
Oh darlin', oh darlin'
I'm never gonna leave you, I'm never gonna leave you
Ten years gone, holdin' on, ten years gone
Akulelah


Night Flight

I received a message from my love across the water
You sat laughin' as you wrote the ends in sight
So I said goodbye to all my friends
And packed my hopes inside a matchbox
'Cause I know it's time to fly

Oh yeah, come on, meet me in the morning (won't you)
Meet me in the middle of the night (night night)
Oh yeah, the mornin' light is comin'
Don't it make you wanna (try to) feel all right

I just jumped a train that never stops
So now so how'll they know I never finished
Payin' for my ride
Just now someone pushed the dime into my hand
Tell me I'm the type of man
To fight the fight that I'll require

Oh, mama, well I think it's time I'm leavin'
Nothin' here to make me stay
Oh, mama, well it must be time I'm goin'
They're knockin' down them doors
They're tryin' to take me away

Please Mr. Brakeman, won't you ring your bell
And ring it loud and clear
Please Mr. Fireman, won't you ring your bell
And tell the people they got to fly away from here

I once saw a picture of a lady with a baby
Southern lady, had a very, very special smile
We ware in the middle of a change in destination
When the train starts, all together we will smile

Oh, come on, come on, now meet me in the morning
Won't you meet me in the middle of the night
Night, night, night
Oh yeah, everybody knows the mornin' time is comin'
Don't it make you wanna feel all right
Oh, yeah, make me feel all right, fly now, baby
Get to fly, yeah, fly my baby
Akulelah


The Wanton Song

See you movin' in the night again
Tell me I see too much, baby
Same old thing, I'm on a plane
And the wheel rolls on
Silent moves through the flames
>From the deep behind the soul
Guess my nightmares have now begun
Left me barely holdin' on

To strangers I seem a gentleman
When we know the time has come
Lose my sense and lose command
You know even rivers run
Seems like every time I fall
I think this is the one
Oh, in the darkness can you hear me call
Another day has just begun, another day

See all of my faces is changed
Some have a ways to come
Even my fire needs a brand new flame
And the wheel rolls on, rolls on
Akulelah


Boogie With Stu

Been in town, my baby

We been shakin' all night
Oh, darlin' we just got to run right
Ooh, my head, rock on, rock on

Come on, baby, just rock, rock, rock

I don't want no tutti-frutti, no lollipop
Come on, baby, just rock, rock, rock

You didn't have to tell me, baby, let me go
Hey, hey, mama, what is wrong with you
Oh, that's all right, I know your sister, too
Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah
What's the matter with you, mama

Sick Again

On the window of your ready little scene
I'm lookin' in your eyes
One day soon you're gonna reach sixteen
Ain't a lady in the city of lights

Oh, do you know my name
Do I look the same

You know I'm the one you want, baby
I must be the one you need, yeah

Reflections, baby, from your teenage dream
In the lobby of a hotel cafe dive
Through the circus of the L. A. queens
I passed you round, went right on by
Oh, how you play the game
Still don't know your name
You know I'm the one you want, baby
Yes I'd love to be the one you need
Oh, you got to tell me

Get this, get this
Lips like cherries on the frown of a queen
Come on, flash it right in my eyes
Said you dug me since you were thirteen
Then you giggle as you hurt inside

Baby, I got to tell you I'm the one you want
And everybody knows I'm the one you need, yeah
Oh get it, come on, now

Hours, hours, and the moments in between
Oh baby, I could count the times
I've thought of comin' on a plane and leavin'
Baby, dry those silver eyes

You know I'm the one you want
Yes, I'm the one you need
Oh, that's right

The Song Remains The Same

I had a dream- crazy dream
Anything I wanted to know
Any place I needed to go

Hear my song- sing along
Any little song that you know
Everything that's small has to grow.

California sunlight, sweet Calcutta rain
Honolulu starbright- the song remains the same.

Sing out Hare Hare, dance the Hoochie Koo.
City lights are oh so bright, as we go sliding
sliding
sliding through.
Akulelah


The Rain Song

This is the springtime of my loving-
the second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing-
so little warmth I felt before.
It isn't hard to feel me glowing-
I watched the fire that grew so low.
It is the summer of my smiles-
flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.
Speak to me only with your eyes
it is to you I give this tune.
It isn't hard to recognise-
these things are clear to all from
time to time.

Talk Talk-
I felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go
I cursed the gloom that set upon us
but I know that I love you so
but I know that I love you so.

These are the seasons of emotion
And like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion-
I see the torch we all must hold.
This is the mystery of the quotient-
Upon us all a little rain
must fall.

Akulelah


Over The Hills And Far Away

Hey lady- you got the love I need
oh Maybe- more than enough
oh Darling Darling walk a while with me
- oh you've got so much-

Many times I loved
Many times been bitten
Many times I've gazed
Along the open road.

Many times I've lied
Many times I've listened
Many times I've wondered
How much there is to know.

Many dreams come true
And some have silver linings
I live for my dream
And a pocketful of gold.

Mellow is the man
Who knows what he's been missing
Many many men
Can't see the open road.

Many is a word
That only leaves you guessing
Guessing 'bout a thing
You really ought to know

Akulelah

Dancing Days

Dancing days are here again
As the summer evenings grow
I got my flower, I got my power
I got a woman who knows.

You know it's alright
I said it's alright
You know it's all in my heart
You'll be my only, my one and only
Is that the way it should start?

Crazy ways are evident
In the way that you're wearing your clothes
Suppin' boze is precedent
As the evening starts to glow.

I told your mamma I'd get you home
But I didn't tell her I had no car
I saw a lion he was standing alone
With a tadpole in a jar.

Dancing days are here again
As the summer evening grows
You are my flower, you are my power
You are my woman who knows.

No Quarter

Close the doors, put out the light
You know they won't be home tonight
The snow falls hard and don't you know
The winds of Thor are blowing cold
They're wearing steel that's bright and true
They carry news that must get through
They choose the path where no-one goes
They hold no quarter.
They ask no quarter.

Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The dogs of doom are howling more
They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for you and me
They choose the path where no-one goes
They hold no quarter, they ask no quarter.
Akulelah


The Ocean

Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain
Ain't no time to pack my bag, my foots outside the door
Got a date, can't be late for the high hopes hailla ball.

Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar
Play for free, play for me and play a whole lot more
Singing of the good things and the sun that lights the day
Singing to the ocean, has the ocean lost its way.

Sitting round singing songs til the night turns into day
Used to sing on the mountains but the mountains washed away
Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart
She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start.

Akulelah


Black Dog

Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move
Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove.
Oh, oh, child, way you shake that thing
Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.
Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way
Watch your honey drip, can't keap away.

Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah.
Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah.

I gotta roll, can't stand still,
Got a flame in my heart, can't get my fill,
Eyes that shine burning red,
Dreams of you all thru my head.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.

Hey, baby, oh, baby, pretty baby,
La la la la la la la.

Didn't take too long 'fore I found out
What people mean my down and out.
Spent my money, took my car,
Started tellin' her friends she wants to be a star.
I don't know but I been told
A big legged woman ain't got no soul.

All I ask for when I pray,
Steady rollin' woman gonna come my way.
Need a woman gonna hold my hand
And tell me no lies, make me a happy man.
Akulelah


Rock And Roll

It's been a long time since I Rock and Rolled,
It's been a long time since I did the Stroll.
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back,
Let me get it back, baby, where I come from.
It's been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.
Yes it has.

It's been a long time since the book of love,
I can't count the tears of a life with no love.
Carry me back, carry me back,
Carry me back, baby, where I come from.
It's been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight,
Making vows that just can't work right.
Open your arms, opens your arms,
Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in.
It's been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

The Battle Of Evermore

Queen of Light took her bow
And then she turned to go,
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom
And walked the night alone.

Oh, dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the morn - ing light.
The dark Lord rides in force tonight
And time will tell us all.

Oh, throw down your plow and hoe,
Rest not to lock your homes.

Side by side we wait the might
Of the darkest of them all.

I hear the horses' thunder
Down in the valley blow,
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon,
Waiting for the eastern glow.

The apples of the valley hold,
The seas of happiness,
The ground is rich from tender care,
Repay, do not forget, no, no.
Oh,-------danceinthedarkofnight,
sing to the morning light.

The apples turn to brown and black,
The tyrant's face is red.

Oh the war is common cry,
Pick up you swords and fly.
The sky is filled with good and bad
That mortals never know.

Oh, well, the night is long
The beads of time pass slow,
Tired eyes on the sunrise,
Waiting for the eastern glow.

The pain of war cannot exceed
The woe of aftermath,
The drums will shake the castle wall,
The ring wraiths ride in black,
Ride on.

Sing as you raise your bow,
Shoot straighter than before.
No comfort has the fire at night
That lights the face so cold.

Oh dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the mornin' light.
The magic runes are writ in gold
To bring the balance back.
Bring it back.

At last the sun is shining,
The clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness
The sunlight blinds his eyes.
Akulelah


Stairway To Heaven

There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.

There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How ev'rything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
Akulelah


Misty Mountain Hop

Walkin' in the park just the other day, Baby,
What do you, what do you think I saw?
Crowds of people sittin' on the grass with flowers in their hair said,
"Hey, Boy, do you wanna score?"
And you know how it is;
I really don't know what time it was, woh, oh,
So I asked them if I could stay awhile.

I didn't notice but it had got very dark and I was really,
Really out of my mind.
Just then a policeman stepped up to me and asked us said,
"Please, hey, would we care to all get in line,
Get in line."
Well you know,
They asked us to stay for tea and have some fun,
Oh, oh, he said that his friends would all drop by, ooh.

Why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see,
And Baby, Baby, Baby, do you like it?
There you sit, sitting spare like a book on a shelf rustin'
Ah, not trying to fight it.
You really don't care if they're coming, oh, oh,
I know that it's all a state of mind, ooh.

If you go down in the streets today, Baby, you better,
You better open your eyes.
Folk down there really don't care, really don't care, don't care, really don't
Which, which way the pressure lies,
So I've decided what I'm gonna do now.
So I'm packing my bags for the Misty Mountains
Where the spirits go now,
Over the hills where the spirits fly, ooh.
I really don't know.
Akulelah


Four Sticks

Oh, Baby, it's cryin' time,
Oh, Baby, I got to fly.
Got to try to find a way,
Got to try to get away,
'Cause you know I gotta get away from you, Babe.

Oh, Baby, the river's red,
Oh, Baby, in my head.
There's a funny feelin' goin' on,
I don't think I can hold out long.

And when the owls cry in the night,
Oh, Baby, Baby, when the pines begin to cry,
Baby, Baby, Baby, how do you feel?
If the river runs dry, Baby,
How do you feel?

Craze, Baby, the rainbow's end,
Mmm, Baby, it's just a den
For those who hide,
Who hide their love to depths of life
And ruin dreams that we all knew so, Babe.

Going To California

Spent my days with a woman unkind,
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start,
Going To California with an aching in my heart.

Someone told me there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane,
Never let them tell you that they're all the same.

The sea was red and the sky was grey,
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
As the children of the sun began to awake.

Seems that the wrath of the Gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
I think I might be sinking.
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high.

To find a queen without a king;
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings.
La la la la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born.
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.
Akulelah


When The Levee Breaks

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break,
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break,
When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay.

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Lord, mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.

Don't it make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go?
If you're goin' down South
They go no work to do,
If you don't know about Chicago.

Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.

All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
Thinkin' 'bout me baby and my happy home.
Going, go'n' to Chicago,
Go'n' to Chicago,
Sorry but I can't take you.
Going down, going down now, going down.

Immigrant Song

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods
Will drive their ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying:
Valhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green,
Can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war.
We are your overlords.
On we sweep with threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.

So now you'd better stop and rebuild your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite all your losing.
Akulelah


Friends

Bright light almost blinding,
Black night still there shining,
I can't stop, keep on climbing,
Looking for what I knew.

Had a friend, she once told me,
"You got a friend, you ain't lonely,"
Now she's gone and left me only
Looking for what I knew.

Mmm, I'm telling you now,
The greatest thing you ever can do now,
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now,
It's very easy just.

Met a man on the roadside crying,
Without a friend, there's no denying,
You're incomplete, they'll be no finding
Looking for what you knew.

So anytime somebody needs you,
Don't let them down, altho' it grieves you,
Some day you'll need someone like they do,
Looking for what you knew.
Akulelah


Celebration Day

Her face is cracked from smiling,
All the fears that she's been hiding,
And it seems pretty soon ev'rybody's gonna know.
And her voice is sore from shouting,
Cheering winners who are losing,
And she worries if their days are few
And soon they'll have to go.

My, my, my, I'm so happy,
I'm gonna join the band,
We are gonna dance and sing and celebration,
We are in the promised land.

She hears them talk of new ways
To protect the home she lives in,
Then she wonders what it's all about
When they break down the door.

Her name is Brown or White or Black,
You know her very well,
You hear her cries of mercy
As the winners toll the bell.

There is a train that leaves the station
Heading for your destination,
But the price you pay has increased a dollar more.
Yes, it has!
And if you walk you're gonna get there
Tho' it takes a little longer,
And when you see it in the distance
You will wring your hands and moan.
Akulelah


Since I've Been Loving You

Working seven to eleven ev'ry night,
It really makes my life a drag,
I don't think that's right.
I've really, really been the best of fools,
I did what I could,
'Cause I love you, baby,
How I love you, darling,
How I love you, baby,
How I love you, girl, little girl.
But baby, Since I've Been Loving You, yeah,
I'm about to lose my worried mind, oh, yeah.

Ev'rybody trying to tell me
That you didn't mean me no good.
I've been trying, Lord, let me tell you,
Let me tell you I really did the best I could.
I've been working seven to eleven ev'ry night,
It kinda makes my life a drag.
Lord, you know it ain't right.
Since I've Been Loving You,
I'm about to lose my worried mind.

Said I've been crying,
My tears they fell like rain,
Don't you hear,
Don't you hear them falling,
Don't you hear,
Don't you hear them falling.

Do you remember, mama, when I knocked upon your door?
I said you had the nerve to tell me
You didn't want me no more,
I open my front door hearing my back door slam,

I'm about to lose, lose my worried mind.
