6. Sugar Mountain
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon,
You're leaving there too soon.
It's so noisy at the fair
But all your friends are there
And the candy floss you had
And your mother and your dad.
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon,
You're leaving there too soon.
There's a girl just down the aisle,
Oh, to turn and see her smile.
You can hear the words she wrote
As you read the hidden note.
7. Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons, With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that you're leaving Though you're thinking that you're leaving there
there too soon, too soon,
You're leaving there too soon. You're leaving there too soon.
Now you're underneath the stairs Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
And you're givin' back some glares with the barkers and the colored balloons,
To the people who you met You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
And it's your first cigarette. Though you're thinking that you're leaving there
too soon,
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain You're leaving there too soon.
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that you're leaving
there too soon,
You're leaving there too soon.
Now you say you're leavin' home
'Cause you want to be alone.
Ain't it funny how you feel
When you're findin' out it's real?
17. Cinnamon Girl
I wanna live with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl.
A dreamer of pictures I run in the night
You see us together, chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.
Ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow
The drummer relaxes and waits between shows
For his cinnamon girl.
A dreamer of pictures I run in the night
You see us together, chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.
Pa sent me money now
I'm gonna make it somehow
I need another chance
You see your baby loves to dance
Yeah...yeah...yeah.
18. Down By the River
Be on my side, I'll be on your side, baby Be on my side, I'll be on your side, baby
There is no reason for you to hide There is no reason for you to hide
It's so hard for me staying here all alone It's so hard for me staying here all alone
When you could be taking me for a ride. When you could be taking me for a ride.
Yeah, she could drag me over the rainbow, Yeah, she could drag me over the rainbow,
send me away send me away
Down by the river I shot my baby Down by the river I shot my baby
Down by the river, Down by the river,
Dead, oh, shot her dead. Dead, oh, shot her dead.
You take my hand, I'll take your hand
Together we may get away
This much madness is too much sorrow
It's impossible to make it today.
Yeah, she could drag me over the rainbow,
send me away
Down by the river I shot my baby
Down by the river,
Dead, oh, shot her dead.
24. Helpless
There is a town in north Ontario,
With dream comfort memory to spare,
And in my mind I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Baby can you hear me now?
The chains are locked and tied across the door,
Baby, sing with me somehow.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless.
28. After the Goldrush
Well, I dreamed I saw the knights I was thinking about what a
In armor coming, Friend had said
Saying something about a queen. I was hoping it was a lie.
There were peasants singing and Thinking about what a
Drummers drumming Friend had said
And the archer split the tree. I was hoping it was a lie.
There was a fanfare blowing
To the sun Well, I dreamed I saw the silver
That was floating on the breeze. Space ships flying
Look at Mother Nature on the run In the yellow haze of the sun,
In the nineteen seventies. There were children crying
Look at Mother Nature on the run And colors flying
In the nineteen seventies. All around the chosen ones.
All in a dream, all in a dream
I was lying in a burned out basement The loading had begun.
With the full moon in my eyes. They were flying Mother Nature's
I was hoping for replacement Silver seed to a new home in the sun.
When the sun burst thru the sky. Flying Mother Nature's
There was a band playing in my head Silver seed to a new home.
And I felt like getting high.
29. Birds
Lover, there will be another one
Who'll hover over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.
Nestled in your wings my little one
This special morning brings another sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.
31. Don’t Let It Bring You Down
Old man lying by the side of the road Red lights flashing through the window in the rain,
With the lorries rolling by, Can you hear the sirens moan?
Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load White cane lying in a gutter in the lane,
And the building scrape the sky, If you're walking home alone.
Cold wind ripping down the allay at dawn
And the morning paper flies, Don't let it bring you down
Dead man lying by the side of the road It's only castles burning,
With the daylight in his eyes. Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around.
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning, Don't let it bring you down
Find someone who's turning It's only castles burning,
And you will come around. Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around.
Blind man running through the light of the night
With an answer in his hand,
Come on down to the river of sight
And you can really understand,
32. Heart of Gold
I want to live,
I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold.
It's these expressions I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
You keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
I've been a miner for a heart of gold.
33.
34. Journey Through the Past
When the winter rains come pourin' down
On that new home of mine,
Will you think of me and wonder if I'm fine?
Will your restless heart come back to mine
On a journey thru the past.
Will I still be in your eyes and on your mind?
Now I'm going back to Canada
On a journey thru the past
And I won't be back till February comes
I will stay with you if you'll stay with me,
Said the fiddler to the drum,
And we'll keep good time on a journey thru the past.
When the winter rains come pourin' down
On that new home of mine,
Will I still be in your eyes and on your mind?
Will I still be in your eyes and on your mind?
36. The Needle and the Damage Done
I caught you knockin' at my cellar door
I love you, baby, can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.
I hit the city and I lost my band
I watched the needle take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done.
I sing the song because I love the man
I know that some of you don't understand
Milk-blood to keep from running out.
I've seen the needle and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's like a settin' sun.
40. Tonight’s the Night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night.
Bruce Berry was a working man
He used to load that Econoline van. Bruce Berry was a working man
A sparkle was in his eye He used to load that Econoline van.
But his life was in his hands. Well, early in the morning at just about the
break of day
Well, late at night when the people were gone He used to sleep until the afternoon.
He used to pick up my guitar
And sing a song in a shaky voice Tonight's the night, yes it is, tonight's the night
That was real as the day was long. Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, yes it is, tonight's the night Tonight's the night, tonight's the night.
Tonight's the night, yes it is, tonight's the night.
Early in the mornin' at the break of day
He used to sleep until the afternoon.
If you never heard him sing
I guess you won't too soon.
'Cause people let me tell you
It sent a chill up and down my spine
When I picked up the telephone
And heard that he'd died out on the mainline.
41. Mellow My Mind
Baby mellow my mind,
Make me feel like a schoolboy on good time,
Jugglin' nickels and dimes,
Satisfied with the fish on the line.
I've been down the road and I've come back
Lonesome whistle on the railroad track
Ain't got nothing on those feelings that I had.
Something so hard to find,
A situation that can casualize your mind.
I've been down the road and I've come back
Lonesome whistle on the railroad track
Ain't got nothing on those feelings that I had.
Baby mellow my mind,
Make me feel like a schoolboy on good time,
Jugglin' nickels and dimes,
Satisfied with the fish on the line.
44. See The Sky About to Rain
See the sky about to rain, broken clouds and rain.
Locomotive, pull the train, whistle blowing through my brain.
Signals curling on an open plain, rolling down the track again.
See the sky about to rain.
Some are bound for happiness, some are bound to glory
Some are bound to live with less, who can tell your story?
See the sky about to rain, broken clouds and rain.
Locomotive, pull the train, whistle blowin' through my brain.
Signals curlin' on an open plain, rollin' down the track again.
See the sky about to rain.
I was down in Dixie Land, played a silver fiddle
Played it loud and then the man broke it down the middle.
See the sky about to rain.
49. Like a Hurricane
Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar,
Dancing on the light from star to star.
Far across the moonbeam I know that's who you are,
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but I'm getting blown away.
I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream,
You could have been anyone to me.
Before that moment you touched my lips
That perfect feeling when time just slips
Away between us on our foggy trip.
53. My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)
The king is gone
My my, hey hey
