Stepping into the heavy rain
I’m trapped in the silence of no path
In your eyes I see a house
A distant deep dawn

Wind all this way, wind all that way
Blowing over your shoulder
Before you turn around the abyss cracks beneath your feet
Those crazy raindrops
Snuffed my flame
You finally disappeared,
A butterfly stopped, amidst the debris on the floor

There is a pond in front of the gate.
Water is flowing out
Birds are coming to bathe
Magpies are playing with lotus flowers

Girls are coming to wash the cloth.
Boys are threshing flour.
Take a look. Three times.
Working on the stone.
Take a look. Three times.
Working on the stone.

Have you ever heard
Of another faithful preacher
Telling all to adhere, cos they’re living the wrong way?
Were you told not to trust
Those with different skin to us
By some self-obsessed opinionist?
Well this is what I’d say.

It’s not the time or the place for what you’re saying
It’s not the day or the year.
Don’t bring your ugly thinking here.
Just stop the hurt that you’re hissing
And all the filth that you’re insisting.
It’s not the time or the place for what you’re preaching.

Do you ever feel
Love with conditions just isn’t real?
Have your friends been told that they pray to the wrong king?
Has it been said that you’re not trusted?
That your life don’t cut the mustard?
Well my friends, let’s stand together
Oh, and this is what we’ll sing.

Dime si
Quieres venir conmigo, sí,Vamos poco a poquito, así,Llévame lento,Hasta el final del paraíso
Di que sí,Yo se que siempre quieres másVamo' a vivir la libertadLlévame lento,Hasta el final del paraíso
Y de mi corazón tu tienes la llavevamo' a mi paraíso y no des detalles
Cual es el paraíso que aquí nos prometieron?Será que no hay amor, que todo lo mueve el dinero?
Y sé que tu también quieres pasarla bien.Tu y yo unidos por siempre hasta el final.
Dime si
Quieres venir conmigo, sí,Vamos poco a poquito, así,Llévame lento,Hasta el final del paraíso
Di que sí,Yo se que siempre quieres másVamo' a vivir la libertadLlévame lento,Hasta el final del paraíso

DRIVIN’ HOME
VERSE
There’s a four-lane highway, stretched up ahead
People rollin’ 90 miles an hour, and going nowhere
So when you need to slow down, I just turn that car around
And take the back roads thru the country when I’m drivin’ home

VERSE
Sweet country music, on the radio
Playin’ all those old songs we used to know
Ohh, They take me back, to a place not long ago
When we took the back roads thru the country
When we’re drivin’ home

INSTRUMENTAL break

VERSE
Rollin’ hills, deep blue skies, farmer Brown will tip his hat when you drive by
Oh, we’re movin’ so fast, leave your troubles in the past and
Take the back roads thru the country when you’re drivin’ home

VERSE
There’s a four-lane highway, stretched up ahead
People rollin’ 90 miles an hour and gettin’ nowhere
So when you need to slow down, just turn this car around
And take the back roads thru the country

Take the back roads thru the country
Take the back roads thru the country when I’m drivin’ home
Drivin’ home

TOO MANY HONKY TONKS
VERSE
I know she didn’t mean to hurt me
She tried so hard to make it right
I guess I lost out to the whisky
But I wonder where my baby is tonight

CHORUS
‘Cause when her tears start fallin’
Her goodtime friends come callin’
And they won’t keep her feet

On solid ground
From lonely street to misery
Uptown on down
There’re just too many honky tonks around

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE
The neon lights are shinin’
Right thru the warm glow of this wine
And my ole heart is pinin’
And I wonder where she’ll be

At closing time.

CHORUS
‘Cause when her tears start fallin’
Her goodtime friends come callin’
And they won’t keep her feet

On solid ground
From lonely street to misery
Uptown on down
There’re just too many honky tonks around

From lonely street to misery
Uptown on down
There’re just too many honky tonks around

IF YOU NEED ME
VERSE
If you need me, honey I’ll be here for you
Even tho right now you think
That guy has hung the moon
I wish you well in that high society
But if the new wears off of those satin sheets

I’ll be here if you need me

VERSE
If you need me, honey I’ll still be around
Waiting right here on the other side of town
Where life is hard, but our love came easily
So, if the new wears off of those satin sheets
I’ll be here if you need me

CHORUS
I know you’ve wanted out of here so long

Now here’s your chance go on and run
Just remember everything that shines

Can fade away, dark clouds

Can hide the sun un un un

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE
If you need me, honey I’ll still be around

Waiting right here on the other side of town
Where life is hard but our love came easily
So if the new wears off of those satin sheets
I’ll be here, if you need me…if you need me
