If I had told her, that I loved her, She would have stayed till who knows when, But I guess she couldn't understand it, When I said I want to be your friend, Cause a friend would never doubt you, Or ever, put you uptight, And now I wonder what she's doing tonight. Oh yes I wonder, What she's doing tonight, Ohoh I wonder what she's doing tonight. Ahhhhhhh, Ahhhhhh We were so close but we should've been closer, And it's making me feel so sad, But I tell myself I didn't lose her, Cause you can't lose a friend you never had, (come on now) Cause a friend won't say it's over, And go out, just for spite, And now I wonder, what she's doing tonight. Ah Ah - Oh yes I wonder, What she's doing tonight, Ohoh I wonder what she's doing tonight. (all right Bobby let's go) Because a friend will always be there, If you're wrong or if you're right, And now I wonder, what she's doing tonight. Ah Ah - Oh yes I wonder, What she's doing tonight, Ohoh I wonder what she's doing tonight, Sha la la la la tonight Sha la la la la tonight

Guess I got what I deserved, Kept you waiting there too long my love, All that time without a word, Didn't know you'd think that I'd forget, Or I'd regret, the special love I had for you, my baby blue. All the days became so long, Did you really think I'd do you wrong? Dixie, when I let you go, Thought you'd realize that I would know, I would show, the special love I have for you, my baby blue. What can I do, what can I say? 'Cept I want you by my side, How can I show you, show me a way, Don't you know the times I've tried? Guess that's all I have to say, 'Cept the feelin' just grows stronger every day, Just one thing before I go, Take good care, baby, let me know, let it show, The special love you have for me, my Dixie dear.

Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC, Didn't get to bed last night, On the way the paper bag was on my knee, Man, I had a dreadful flight, I'm back in the U.S.S.R. You don't know how lucky you are, boy, Back in the U.S.S.R. Been away so long I hardly knew the place, Gee, it's good to be back home, Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case, Honey disconnect the phone, I'm back in the U.S.S.R. You don't know how lucky you are, boy Back in the U.S., Back in the U.S., Back in the U.S.S.R. Oh well the Ukraine girls really knock me out, They leave the west behind, And Moscow girls make me sing and shout, That Georgia's always on ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mind, Oh come on I'm back in the U.S.S.R. You don't know how lucky you are boy Back in the U.S.S.R. Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out, They leave the west behind, And Moscow girls make me sing and shout, That Georgia's always on ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mind, Oh, show me round your snow peaked mountains way down south, Take me to you daddy's farm, Let me hear you balalaika's ringing out, Come and keep your comrade warm, I'm back in the USSR Hey, You don't know how lucky you are, boy, Back in the USSR, Oh, let me tell you honey

Comfy, cozy, curled up by my side, Watching some old episodes we like. Humble in our semblance, Our workings unconfined. Is this to be abundant? I know i feel it in the times, That we're kickin' it together, not concerned by others' ways And never getting tripped up by the ever-shrinking space, Between a place to mind our own and the time to meet halfway. Our fears they might be different, but the important thing i think, Is that the ways that they affect us feel so wonderfully in sync. If better days are camped across the creek, A blocked off passage and a dam upstream, We'll just hike up both our pants, and dampen down our feet. A creek-bed's just a hiccup, since we tried to swim the sea. I'll find i think about the years before we had the thought, To rediscover all the threads that led to tie this handsome knot, And if we could do it different, would the line remain as taut? I'll never say that i was perfect, and i don't think you could too, But lining up our timing was the best that we could do. If momentary lapses could collapse this at our feet, We'd have been crushed by all our troubles long before we'd ever meet. Way back when all we did was try to figure out each other, And all we had to do was take some time to figure out ourselves.

September seventeen, For a girl I know it's Mother's Day, Here son has gone alee, And that's where he will stay, Wind on the weather vane, Tearing blue eyes sailor-mean, As Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain, For a boy in Fiddler's Green (2nd verse - Sung by Meghan Cederberg) His tiny knotted heart, Well, I guess it never worked too good, The timber tore apart, And the water gorged the wood, You can hear her whispered prayer, For men at masts that always lean, The same wind that moves her hair, Moves a boy through Fiddler's Green. Bridge - Meghan, Wendy & I) Ahhhhhhhh - Nothing's changed anyway Ahhhhhhhh - Nothing's changed anyway Ahhhhhhhh - Any time today He doesn't know a soul, There's nowhere that he's really been, But he won't travel long alone, No, not in Fiddler's Green, Balloons all filled with rain, As children's eyes turn sleepy-mean, And Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain, For a boy in Fiddler's Green

Two days past eighteen, He was waitin' for the bus in his army greens, Sat down in a booth, at a café there, Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair, He's a little shy, so she gave him a smile, And he said, would you mind sittin' down for awhile, And talkin' to me, I'm feelin' a little low, She said, I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go. So they went down and they sat on the pier, He said, I bet you got a boyfriend, but I don't care, I've got no one, to send a letter to, Would you mind if I sent one back here to you? I cried Never gonna hold the hand of another guy, Too young for him they told her, Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier, Our love will never end Waitin' for the soldier to come back again, Never more to be alone, When the letter says, a soldier's coming home. So the letters came from an army camp, In California, then Vietnam, And he told her of his heart, It might be love and all of the things he was so scared of, He said, when it's gettin' kinda rough over here, I think of that day sittin' down at the pier, And I close my eyes, and see your pretty smile, Don't worry, but I won't be able to write for awhile. I cried Never gonna hold the hand of another guy, Too young for him they told her, Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier, Our love will never end, Waitin' for the soldier to come back again, Never more to be alone, When the letter says a soldier's coming home. One Friday night at a football game, The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang, A man said, folks won't you bow your heads, For a list of local, Vietnam dead. Cryin' all alone under the stands, Was a piccolo player in the marching band, And one name read, an' nobody really cared, But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair, I cried Never gonna hold the hand of another guy, Too young for him they told her, Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier, Our love will never end, Waitin' for the soldier to come back again, Never more to be alone, When the letter says a soldier's coming... I cried Never gonna hold the hand of another guy, Too young for him they told her, Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier, Our love will never end, Waitin' for the soldier to come back again, Never more to be alone, When the letter says a soldier's coming home.

Standing in the dock at Southampton, Trying to get to Holland or France. The man in the mac said, "You've got to go back". You know they didn't even give us a chance. Christ you know it ain't easy, You know how hard it can be. The way things are going They're gonna crucify me. Finally made the plane into Paris, Honeymooning down by the Seine. Peter Brown called to say, "You can make it O.K., You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain". Christ you know it ain't easy, You know how hard it can be. The way things are going They're gonna crucify me. Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton, Talking in our beds for a week. The newspapers said, "Say what you doing in bed?" I said, "We're only trying to get us some peace". Christ you know it ain't easy, You know how hard it can be. The way things are going They're gonna crucify me. Saving up your money for a rainy day, Giving all your clothes to charity. Last night the wife said, "Oh boy, when you're dead You don't take nothing with you But your soul - think!" Made a lightning trip to Vienna, Eating chocolate cake in a bag. The newspapers said, "She's gone to his head, They look just like two gurus in drag". Christ you know it ain't easy, You know how hard it can be. The way things are going They're gonna crucify me. Caught the early train back to London. Fifty acorns tied in a sack. The men from the press said, "We wish you success, It's good to have the both of you back". Christ you know it ain't easy, You know how hard it can be. The way things are going They're gonna crucify me. The way things are going They're going to crucify me.

She was just 16 and all alone, When I came to be, So we grew up together, My mama child and me. Now things were bad and she was scared, But whenever I would I would cry, She'd calm my fears and drown my tears, With a rock & roll lullaby. And she'd sing, sha na na na na na na na na - It'll be alright Sha na na na na na na na na na - just hold on tight Sing it to me mama ma ma ma ma mama Sing it sweet and clear, oh mama let me hear that ol' rock & roll lullaby We made it through the lonely days, But lord the nights were long, And we'd dream of better mornings, When mama sang her song. Now I can't recall the words at all, It don't make sense to try, 'Cause I just new lots of love came through, In that rock & roll lullaby! And she'd sing Sha na na na na na na na na - it'll be alright Sha na na na na na na na na na na - just hold on tight I can here you mama ma ma ma ma mama Nothing eased my soul like the sound of that good ol' rock & roll lullaby It'll be alright, Just hold on tight, Nothing eased my soul like the sound of that good ol' rock & roll lullaby Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh - it'll be alright Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh - Just hold on tight.

It's time we began, to laugh, and cry, and cry, and laugh about it all again. Well you know I'd love to live with you, But you make me forget so very much, I forget to pray to the angels, And then the angels forget to pray for us. So long, Marianne, It's time we began, to laugh, and cry, and cry, And laugh about it all again.

Been beat up and battered around, Been set up, and I've been shut down, You're the best thing that I've ever found, Handle me with care. Reputations changeable, Situations tolerable, But baby, you're adorable, Handle me with care. I'm so tired of being lonely, I still have some love to give, Won't you show me that you really care. Everybody's, got somebody, to lean on, Put your body, next to mine, and dream on. I've been fobbed off, and I've been fooled, I've been robbed and ridiculed, In day care centers and night schools, Handle me with care. Been stuck in airports, terrorized, Sent to meetings hypnotized, Overexposed, commercialized, Handle me with care. I'm so tired of being lonely, I still have some love to give, Won't you show me that you really care, Everybody's, got somebody, to lean on, Put your body, next to mine, and dream on. I've been uptight and made a mess, But I'll clean it up myself I guess, Woah the sweet smell of success, Handle me with care.

Every night, I'm lyin' in bed, Holdin' you close in my dreams, Thinkin' about all the things that we said, And comin' apart at the seams, We tried to talk it over, But the words come out to rough, I know you were tryin', To give me the best of your love. Beautiful faces and loud empty places, Look at the way that we live, Wastin' our time, on cheap talk and wine, Left us so little to give, That same old crowd, Was like a cold dark cloud, That we could never rise above, But here in my heart, I give you the best of my love. Ooooh sweet darlin' you get the best of my love, Ooooh, Sweet darlin', you get the best of my love I'm goin' back in time and it's a sweet dream, It was a quiet night and I would be all right, If i could go on sleepin', But every mornin' I wake up and worry, What's gonna happen today, You see it your way and I'll see it mine, But we both see it slippin' away, You know we always had each other baby, I guess that wasn't enough, Woah-oh, But here in my heart, I give you the best of my love, Oh, sweet darlin' You get the best of my love, Oh, sweet darlin' You get the best of my love, Every night and day, You get the best of my love, Oh, sweet darlin' you get the best of my love, Oh, sweet darlin' you get the best of my love.. repeat to fade out

There's a world where I can go and tell my secrets to, In my room, In my room. In this world I lock out all my worries and my fears, In my room, In my room.

Now it's dark and I'm alone but, I won't be afraid, In my room, In my room, In my room, In my room, In my room, In my room, [Repeat and fade]

Long as I remember, The rain's been comin' down, Clouds of mystery fallin' Confusion on the ground, Good men through the ages Tryin' to find the sun, And I wonder, Still I wonder Who'll stop the rain. I went down Virginia, Seekin' shelter from the storm, Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow, Five-year plans and new deals Wrapped in golden chains, And I wonder, Still I wonder Who'll stop the rain. Heard the singers sayin', Now we cheered for more, The crowd had rushed together, Tryin' to keep warm, Still the rain kept fallin', Fallin' on my ears. And I wonder, Still I wonder Who'll stop the rain.
