1)
give me your love -
give me your love 'fore you fly away
i can feel your trembling spirit
wing
oh, rest here a moment and i will
sing,
oh give me your love today.
your body is old but your eyes
still shine
as they did long ago for a soldier boy
who came and took you for his own
and bid you share his joy.
oh give me your love 'fore you fly away
stay still a moment at the edge
of the sky
oh no, nevermind these tears of
mine
it feels so good to cry.
give me your love 'fore you fly
away
i can feel your trembling spirit
wing
oh, rest here a moment and i will
sing,
oh give me your love today.
how many nights have you
lain alone,
in darkness and pain held the
promise fast
your lover would return again
and take you for his own?
oh give me your love 'fore you fly away
from far away your bridegroom
comes
i can hear the singing of his
chariot wheel
he's coming to take you home.
give me your love 'fore you fly
away
i can feel your trembling spirit
wing
oh, rest here a moment and i will
sing,
oh give me your love today.

3) city of lost angels -
the world is bigger than one city
dark is dark down in the Georgia pines
a small town can have more than one streetlight
every gambler has to win sometimes.
make a picture and you never see the spaces,
what you take and what you leave behind
so you take the best and you leave the rest. right, honey?
but i still keep your angel face in mind.
goin' to the city of lost angels
leavin' all the smoke-ring nights to ride.
goin' to the city of lost angels.
listen to the 'lady', how she slides.
all the flowers can't change all the heartaches
all the good times aren't all there are
i needed to see more than just my own face
mirrors hide the wall behind the bar
airplanes fall, they give some people reasons
arrows show the words between the lines
oh, you are slipping from me with the seasons
just one suitcase holds the silent rhymes.
goin' to the city of lost angels
leavin' all the smoke-ring nights to ride.
goin' to the city of lost angels.
listen to the 'lady', how she slides.
4) made in
chicago -
i'm goin' to use these old travelin' shoes
i'm almost ready to start
but though i may roam so far from my
home
we'll never be far apart
wherever this dusty trail may wind
wherever this crazy stream of misadventures carries me
i'll always be reminded there's someone
who cares
right where the road begins
'cause that's where it ends
and i know i've got friends
who will always save me a part
of the troubles we shared
and the good times we had
in Chicago, queen of my heart.
when i come back some day
you know i'll come back in style
dressed to kill, a fancy car
i'll be ridin' high on ragtime music
by then, fame and fortune
will be my middle name
but inside, i'll still be the same
'cause while i'm away
whenever folks say:
'hey boy, where'd you get your start?'
i'll say, unafraid, 'why,
this boy was made
in Chicago, queen of my heart.'
5) starting
out -
i'm starting out
i need a melody
just an easy song
so nothing will go wrong
i'll find the words with care
i
won't get confused there
add a note or two
so the meaning will shine through
people haven't got the time these days
for anything complicated or long
oh, but i wanted you to hear my song
we used to have more time
where has the time all gone?
where has the time all gone?
i'm reaching out
to find a harmony
between the way i know
and the way that i want to go
i'll take each step with care
it's so easy to lose there
and not all mistakes
are worth the time they take
people haven't got the time these days
when trouble seems to knock at every door
so i will leave out the dreams
i would have told you before
you know i wanted just to tell you
i still love you
i still love you
my heart is still strong
i'm starting out
i need a melody
just an easy song
so nothing will go wrong

7) street
racer -
drivin in my chevy, you know i feel alright
i ain't got a job, but i ain't uptight, no
case o' beer later and my head's gettin' light
this is Van Nuys Blvd. it's Wednesday night.
i'm a street racer, street racer, street racer
runnin' wild
street racer, street racer, street racer
suicide child
i just blew off high school, there's nothin' in sight
i'm only sixteen, pumpin' gas, you know it don't seem right, no
but i ain't runnin' with street pipes till i see daylight
this is Van Nuys Blvd. it's Wednesday night.
and there's only two things that turn me on
that's my sweet little Debbie with her hot pants on
my 427 jumpin' off o' the line
blowin' through the quarter, 10:09
i'm a street racer, street racer, street racer
runnin' wild
street racer, street racer, street racer
suicide child
when i'm gone take my grinder down
find an old flathead that you can write on
set it in the ground right by my head
this is all he said: Found On The Road, dead.
i'm a street racer, street racer, street racer
runnin' wild
street racer, street racer, street racer
suicide child (2x)

10) you can count on
me -
when is think about the times we were close together
i could reach out for your hand
you know it seems like more of a pity
you're living on a sunny island
while i'm just tryin'g to make my way
in the stone cold city
but you can stop, you just call or write
you know i'd be there with you over night
you can count on me
you can count on me
if you ever should stumble, ever chance to fall
you can count on me
if you're ever in trouble, or need anything at all
you just stop, you just call or write
i'm as good as at your side
you can count on me. (6x)
when i think those places in the morning
how they seemed so good to me
your sympathetic understanding
the smell of fresh roasted coffee
oh but now we are so far apart
with other friends and lovers
but you can stop, you just call or write
you know i'd be there with you over night
you can count on me
you can count on me
if you ever should stumble, ever chance to fall
you can count on me
if you're ever in trouble, or need anything at all
you just stop, you just call or write
i'm as good as at your side
you can count on me. (6x)
but for someone like you to care about
this would be a life i could do without
you can count on me. (6x)
