I don’t wanna leave here, but I know that I can’t stay,
someday sooner or later, you know I’ll be on my way,
just a where I’m goin’, ain’t no way of knowin’,
where that cold wind is blowin’ we’re gonna call it home,

Refrain:
livin’ for today, singin’ for tomorrow,
love will make a way, through our joys and sorrows

I know it won’t be easy but at least I’ll have you by my side,
somehow someway I know, we’ll make it worth those tears we’ve cried,

Refrain

just a where we’re goin’, ain’t no way in knowin’,
where the wind is blowin’, we gonna call it home

Don’t you know I’ve been seein’,
just what’s been goin’ round,
wishin’ we could turn it round,
knowin’ what must be sure is what’s comin’,

I know it’s comin’ around,
I know it’s comin’ around,
I know it’s comin’ around,
I know it’s comin’ around,

This morning I couldn’t see the light shinin’,
but somehow here I am standing,
on this rock of love singing,

I know it’s comin’ around,
I know it’s comin’ around,
I know it’s comin’ around,
I know it’s comin’ around,

sometimes I feel like I’m sinkin’ down,
I’ve got to keep my feet on solid ground,
with my mind and my heart made up on love,

this world keeps on turnin’
no it ain’t slowin’ down feelings,
wellin’ up in my eyes cryin,
but tears never slowed me down,

I know it’s comin’ around,
I know it’s comin’ around,
I know it’s comin’ around,
I know it’s comin’ around

Oh when my time has come,
oh when my race is run,
oh when my sun is sinking low,
I’ll be sad to go but I’ve lived long enough to know,
I don’t want no one to cry for me,

Oh when they carry me out,
when they lay me down,
when they bury me neath the ground,
I want my people in the street all doin that second line beat,
I don’t want no one to cry for me

The world keeps on turning,
but me I’m just standing still,
I keep waiting for you to come home,
but I guess you never will,

baby baby baby,
Do you still think of me sometimes?
I can tell you for myself, your always resting on my mind

Who’s gonna hold it down,
with all the old ones passin’ on?

We gonna hold it down,
We gonna spread that love around,
We gonna hold it down,
We gonna keep on keeping on,

We gonna carry on, rockin that old school music all night long

I thought there was a sweeter taste,
but now I pray it’s not too late
because I’ve found no happiness
and in my heart there’s and empty space
that waits and waits,
for your sweet love, girl
for your sweet love

I’d eaten off the apple tree
But I was blind and couldn’t see,
now I’ve wandered far and wide
and still no peace I find,
I’m yearning
my heart is burning,
for your sweet love

It’s too late now baby
there won’t be nobody new
I’m comin’ home now sugar
straight on home to you

to your sweet love
to your sweet love

I remember,
just like yesterday
a fool I was to think
things would never change,

Paradise,
slowly slipped away
now it’s just a dream
a dream I dream each day

and I know,
those days ain’t comin back
only in my memories and dreams

those days ain’t comin back

I’m through worryin’
I’m through cryin’
and I know I know I know
that it’s gonna be alright

nobody could tell me
I had to find out for myself
nobody could tell me
I had to find out for myself
I had to live, learn, get burned, do it again
whole lotta shoulda coulda woulda won’t help me now
it won’t help me now

If I knew then,
what I know now
wouldna probly changed much of anything anyhow

believe it or not,
what you want and what you need is what you get
believe it or not,
what you want and what you need is what you get

nobody could tell me
I had to find out for myself
nobody could tell me
I had to find out for myself
I had to live, learn, get burned, do it again
whole lotta shoulda coulda woulda won’t help me now
it won’t help me now, no

Runnin’ round in circles,
ain’t goin nowhere,
I said heartaches, heartaches, I’ve had my share

shoulda coulda woulda oooh oooh

I had to live learn get burned, do it again

Upon this third stone from the sun,
the only home I know
where love abounds
in skies and sounds,
and tastes too sweet to tell,
the night sky’s got me wondering, of worlds I cannot see
and the whisper of the evening breeze, elsewhere is calling me

I hear, in a song
loved ones gone on
ones I hope to see again someday

So until my final days
in longing I will roam
upon this third stone from the sun the only home I’ve ever known

I’m leaving here baby
I don’t know where I’m bound
I’m tired of feeling like a stranger
in my own home town

that’s why I
I’ve made up my mind
to leave this old silicone world behind

Gone are the places
I used to go
gone are my people
they don’t live here no more

that’s why I
I’ve made up my mind
I’m gonna leave this old silicone world behind

All the people tell me
that’s just the way it is
and if you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em
or find someplace else to live
so I wanna tell you people
that’s just what I’ll do
cuz id rather leave my happy home
than live next door to you

ohhh baby
one of these days
I might come home and smell that sweet breeze
blowin’ cool across the bay

but until then
I’ve made up my mind
to leave this old silicone world behind

Refrain
What is this feeling
I wanna know I wanna know
what is this feeling
I wanna know I wanna know

I know
not everything that glitters is gold
but I know
I know I got it if I feel it in my soul

Refrain

tell me, baby
what you’ve got up your sleeve
do you really love me do you really care
or will you just pick up and leave?

I know sometimes love don’t feel like it should
but I know I know I got it if it makes me feel good

tell me
is It the real thing?
tell me is this the real thing?

tell me
i wanna know
tell me
I wanna know

Way out West where the tall trees grow
we do it right we take it slow,
drop by drop, kiss by kiss
sippin’ on honey from life’s sweet lips

down by the water side we gather round
just grooving to the sound of the sun goin’ down
drip drop baby sweet and slow
just sippin on honey don’t ya know doncha know

All I want
All I need
is a little bit more of your good good lovin’
just a little bit more is all need

Early in the morning
late in the evening
just a little bit more of your good good lovin’
just a little bit more oh baby please

When it’s cold outside
when it’s cold outside
keep me warm with your good good lovin’
keep me warm oh baby please

in the summertime
in the summertime
cool me down with your good good lovin
cool me down oh baby please

no no no
things ain’t what they used to be
I wouldn’t lie to you baby
things ain’t what they used to be

the things that we used to do
she can’t do for me
I just can’t stop thinking about it baby
the way you used to make me scream

I know you‘ve got somebody baby
I‘ve got somebody too
but I haven’t been satisfied since I broke off baby with you

Oh what a dream
a dream I dreamed layin’ in my baby’s arms

I was layin’ in the sand
layin’ in the sand where the water meets the land

when I heard a voice calling me
thought I heard my baby calling me from the deep

so I dove into the tide
searching for my baby in the shadows deep and wide

oh what a song
a thousand mermaids singing boy you’re baby she’s gone

in a voice so sweet
in a voice so sweet the mermaids rocked me to sleep

at the breaking of the dawn
I awoke with a tear laying in my baby’s arms

She ain’t like the other girls
a beam of light from the other world
always catch her lookin’ up at the sky
just like she’s waiting for her ride

Most of us we walk the main roads
some say they know a better way
and while y’all take the side streets
she takes the milky way
she takes the milky way

star child
a beam of light from the other side
star child
you know she’s gonna catch her ride

into this world without a whole lot
she knows she’ll leave with even less
we’ve got more than we need anyhow
and still the world is such a mess

swing down chariot stop and come down easy
I’ve got a home on the other side

swing down chariot stop and come down easy
I’ve got a home on the other side
