Eleanor Rigby Lyrics
3 ContributorsEleanor Rigby LyricsAh, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
All the lonely people
All the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie writing the words to a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working. Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
All the lonely people
All the lonely people
All the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?
All the lonely people
Where do they come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
All the lonely people
Dust in the Wind Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I close my eyes
Only for a moment and the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity
[Refrain]
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind
[Verse 2]
Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see
[Refrain]
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
[Bridge]
Ohh-oh-ah
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Now, don't hang on
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy
[Refrain]
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind (All we are is dust in the wind)
Dust in the wind (Everything is dust in the wind)
Everything is dust in the wind
[Outro]
The wind
Song for America Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro/Overture 00:00-03:03]
[Verse 1]
Virgin land of forest green, dark and stormy plains
Here all life abounds
Sunlit valley, mountain fields, unseen in the rain
Here all life abounds
[Chorus]
No man rules this land
No human hand has soiled this paradise
Waiting patiently, so much to see
So rich in Earth's delights
[Verse 2]
Painted desert, sequined sky, stars that fill the night
Here all life abounds
Rivers flowing to the sea, sunshine pure and bright
Here all life abounds
[Chorus]
No man rules this land
No human hand has soiled this paradise
Waiting patiently, so much to see
So rich in Earth's delights
[Verse 3]
So the maiden lies in waiting
For the sails to reach the shore
Land of beauty and abundance
Innocent, you opened wide your door
Wanderers found the waiting treasure
Full of gifts beyond their measure
Milk and honey for our pleasure
[Verse 4]
Across the sea there came a multitude
Sailing ships upon the wave
Filled with the visions of Utopia
And the freedom that they crave
Ravage, plunder, see no wonder
Rape and kill and tear asunder
Chop the forest, plow it under
[Instrumental Break 05:08-08:36]
[Keyboard Solo]
[Violin Solo]
[Verse 5]
Highways scar the mountainsides, buildings to the sky
People all around
Houses stand in endless rows, sea to shining sea
People all around
[Chorus]
So we rule this land, and here we stand
Upon our paradise
Dreaming of a place, our weary race
Is ready to arise
[Instrumental Outro]
In Your Eyes Lyrics
[??]
Lay me down
Don't let the tears blur the vision in your eyes
In your eyes
It might be raining now
But don't be scared you won't drown
I'll hold you in my arms when the rivers rise
Lay my heart besides your soul
Don't let the tears blur the vision in your eyes
In your eyes
Miracles out of Nowhere Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On a crystal morning, I can see the dewdrops falling
Down from gleaming heaven. I can hear the voices call
When you coming home now, son? the world is not for you
Tell me, what's your point of view?
[Verse 2]
Hey there, Mister Madman, what you know that I don't know?
Tell me some crazy stories; let me know who runs this show
Glassy-eyed and laughing; he turns and walks away
Tell me, what made you that way?
[Chorus]
Here I am, just waiting for a sign
Asking questions; learning all the time
It's always here; it's always there
It's just love and miracles out of nowhere
[Verse 3]
Tell me now, dear Mother, what's it like to be so old?
Children grown and leaving; seems the world is growing cold
And though your body's ailing you, your mind is just like new
Tell me where you're going to
[Chorus]
It's so simple, lyin’ right before your eyes
If you'll only look through this disguise
It's always here; it's always there
It's just love and miracles out of nowhere
Love and miracles out of nowhere
[Musical interlude]
[Verse 4]
I sang this song a hundred, maybe a thousand years ago
No one ever listens, I just play and then I go
Off into the sunset like the Western heroes do
Tell me what you're gonna do
[Chorus]
Here I am, I'm sure to see a sign
All my life, I knew that it was mine
It's always here; it's always there
It's just love and miracles out of nowhere;
Love and miracles out of nowhere
(Out of nowhere)
Hold On Lyrics
9 ContributorsHold On LyricsThis song was written by Kerry Livgren to his wife to convince her to convert to Christianity with him.Look in the mirror and tell me
Just what you see
What have the years of your life
Taught you to be?
Innocence dying in so many ways
Things that you dream of are lost
Lost in the haze
Hold on, baby hold on
Cause it's closer than you think
And you're standing on the brink
Hold on, baby hold on
Cause there's something on the way
Your tomorrow's not the same as today
Don't you recall what you felt
When you weren't alone?
Someone who stood by your side;
A face you have known
Where do you run when it's too much to bear?
Who do you turn to in need
When nobody's there?
Hold on, baby hold on
Cause it's closer than you think
And you're standing on the brink
Hold on, baby hold on
Cause there's something on the way
Your tomorrow's not the same as today
Ahhh
Outside your door, he is waiting;
Waiting for you
Sooner or later you know
He's got to come through
No hesitation and no holding back
Let it all go and you'll know
You're on the right track
Hold on, baby hold on (hold on to me baby)
Cause it's closer than you think
And you're standing on the brink
Hold on, baby hold on (yeah, I need you by my side)
Cause there's something on the way
Your tomorrow's not the same as
Hold on, baby hold on (I got to touch you baby!)
Cause it's closer than you think
And you're standing on the brink
Hold on, baby hold on (there's somethin' 'round the corner)
Cause there's something on the way
Your tomorrow's not the same
Hold On!
The Sky Is Falling Lyrics
2 ContributorsThe Sky Is Falling LyricsThe lottery winner thinks forever
Is something she can buy
All the pictures on the wall
Are hanging high so they won't fall
Until her tear stained floor is dry
The pool shark's life is stranger than fiction
But today's his lucky day
He bets it all on a final game
But then he chokes ain't that a shame
The 8-ball had one last thing to say
Just stop the sky from falling
Falling down on me
Stray cats are creepy calling
Hound dog harmony
Just stop the sky from falling
Dodge the buck shot rain
This treehouse free for all
The sky is falling
Who's got a crane?
Jazz singer padlocks all his memories
Long nights have left their mark
His lava lamp condition
His black light intuition
How come tomorrow seams so dark?
Yeah
Just stop the sky from falling
Falling down on me
Stray cats are creepy calling
Hound dog harmony
Just stop the sky from falling
Dodge the buck shot rain
This treehouse free for all
The sky is falling
Who's got a crane?
Stray cat stares hard as if to tell you
She don't need perfect love
Some place that's safe and warm
A little shelter from the storm
She hears that crackin' sound above
Yeah
Just stop the sky from falling
Falling down on me
Stray cats are creepy calling
Hound dog harmony
Just stop the sky from falling
Dodge the buck shot rain
This treehouse free for all
The sky is falling
Who's got a crane?
Cheyenne Anthem Lyrics
[Verse 1]
From the mountains to the sun
Life has only just begun
We wed this land and pledged our souls to meet its end
Life has only just begun
[Verse 2]
Here my people roam the earth
In the kingdom of our birth
Where the dust of all our horses hides the sun
We are mighty on the earth
On the earth
[Bridge 1]
You have come to move me, take me from my ancient home
Land of my fathers, I can't leave you now
We will share it with you, no man owns this earth we're on
Now the wheels are rolling; hear the howling winds of war
It's my destiny to fight and die
But is there no solution? Can we find no other way?
Lord, let me stay!
[Chorus]
Under the endless sky and the earth below
Here I was born to live, and I will never go
Oh, no...
[Bridge 2 (choir)]
But we cannot endure like the earth and the mountains
Life is not ours to keep, for a new sun is rising
[Outro]
Soon these days shall pass away
For our freedom we must pay
All our words and deeds are carried on the wind
In the ground our bodies lay
Here we'll stay...
Prelude & Introduction Lyrics
[Verse]
Farewell to you
Before we get lose our way out
Thought it was fine
My fragmented heart you've held
But now I don't wanna see you
Hurt no more
Stay the night for the last time
Laying in my care
And let the pain away
Swallow up the whole rest
Pieces that aching
'Till it's melted on this blotter
Got a quarter left, quarter left
Before we get back
Get place back
To where we used to be
Know I'll waste
I'll be wasting
Much more time
Way more time
Than days we were together, babe
Remember that I wiped
When your face soaked?
Gonna vanish into dust now
How afraid I was
Of you being closer
Every time I felt that
You change my heart
I pushed you away
Just split up
Baby, it's all fine to blame me
If you're trying not to lose
All of your mind
The Wall Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm woven in a fantasy
I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen now
Has led me to a wall
And with each passing day
I feel a little more like something dear was lost
[Pre-Chorus]
It rises now before me
A dark and silent barrier between
[Chorus]
All I am
And all that I would ever want to be
It's just a travesty
Towering
Marking off the boundaries my spirit
Would erase
[Verse 2]
To pass beyond is what I seek
I fear that I may be too weak
And those are few who've seen it through
To glimpse the other side
The promised land is waiting
Like a maiden that is soon to be a bride
[Pre Chorus]
The moment is a masterpiece
The weight of indecision's in the air
[Chorus]
Standing there
The symbol and the sum of all that's me
It's just a travesty
Towering
Blocking out the light and blinding me
I want to see
[Bridge - Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Gold and diamonds cast a spell
It's not for me, I know it well
The riches that I seek are waiting
On the other side
There's more than I can measure
In the treasures of the love that I can find
[Pre Chorus]
And though it's always been with me
I must tear down the wall and let it be
[Chorus]
All I am
And all that I was ever meant to be
In harmony
Shining true
And smiling back at all who wait to cross
There is no loss
Ohhh
Need to Know Lyrics
3 ContributorsNeed to Know LyricsHow do I know
What you say is real?
How do I know
If that's the way you feel?
You're the only one who's seen me
In the dark hours in the kitchen chair
Are you still there?
Do you still care?
That's all I really need to know
Watching the rain
Come pouring down
Washing the stain
Off this old town
They say misery loves company
But ain't there something else we can share?
Are you still there?
Do you still care?
That's all I really need to know
Ooooh (repeated)
Hey! Hey!
(whistle sound)
It scares a man
When glory days are gone
But here I stand
I know I'm not alone
I got pictures in my mind
And the radio takes me back in time
Are you still there?
You're in my prayer
That's all I really need to know
That's all I really need to know
That's all I really need to know
Nobody’s Home Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's empty now, no friendly face
And nothing lives within
I look around and I find no trace
To tell me what has been
[Chorus 1]
So far I've come to find
There's no one here, no life I fear
I came for nothing, they have gone
And nobody's home, no one's home
[Verse 2]
I came to learn, perhaps to teach
But I can tell somehow
The world that I was sent to reach
Has got no future now
[Chorus 2]
Across the galaxy to spread the word
And no one heard
I came for nothing, I'm alone
And nobody's home, no one's home
[Verse 3]
A requiem was never sung
No elegy was read
No monument was carved in stone
In memory of the dead
[Chorus 3]
For those who made this place
Do not remain, they feel no pain
A stranger fate was never known
