When the sun ‘rose this morning

I was up with the light

Smiling and shaking my head

Thinking about last night

You took my arms under the stars

And I spun you around

And when you drove off into the dark

I just stood there listening to the sound

Of Sister Blue, Sister Blue

I want more and more of you

Sister Blue, Sister Blue

I just want to keep on looking at you

I might just have to interrupt you again

Sweet lady covered in paint

Now my heart is so wide open

I feel like I could just faint

Troubadours’ got a weakness

I think they call it the muse

When I’m standing anywhere near to you

It just lightens up my blues

Sister Blue…

So look for the light in my window

Look for the stars in my eyes

Look and deliver that smile of yours

Under the auburn skies

Look for my heart to remember

That you told me your truth

And look for my strong arms to hold you up

And carry you through

Sister Blue…

We went down to Jobson’s Cove

There we wade in the water

Father, Son, my friend the ghost

Don’t forget your daughter

My love, where are you tonight?

My love, with the lovelight in your eyes

Please tell me why must I always be

So alone in my ecstasy?

I could take you down to the sea

Like two rivers, wild and free

My love…

Peace be with you when the morning comes

And peace be with you when the day is done

All that you had is come and gone

All that you need is right here in your arms

We went down to Jobson’s Cove

There we wade in the water

Father, Son, my friend the ghost

Don’t forget your daughter

My love

You say what if

You say what if I sail away?

I say what gives?

We were lovers just yesterday

We were talking about the future

Now we’re talking about the past

I thought I had finally found the one at last

You say I’m just

I’m just like all those other guys

But I saw you blush

And I saw it in your cool blue eyes

I saw you moving like the river

And I felt you realize

That with me you never have to tell no lies

So sail away gypsy woman, if that’s what you gotta do

But always know gypsy woman, that my song it sails with you

I wish nothing but the fairest winds, to always see you through

And to think of me when you’re out on the ocean blue

You rocked my world

You rocked my world and made me feel

Like I could be cured

And we could help each other to heal

Then you said that what we felt

And what we thought it wasn’t real

Now you left me lovesick, feeling like a heel

So sail…

I made you smile

I made you smile for a while

But you put me on trial

For that one moment when I went wild

Then you called it a good try

But I call it sweet denial

And I wonder if we’ll ever reconcile

I don’t want to remember you

I don’t want to forget

I don’t want to have to think about

That April night that we met

I went through the pandemic with my pet

We were reciting the Rubaiyat

And now I’m trying to forget

From January to December

I will try not

To remember

From January to December

I will try

Not to remember

I had a dream I had a horse, a pretty horse

She went wherever I did go

We turned a corner and I saw a girl, a pretty girl

A girl I used to know, long time ago

Oh, Virginia

You were the belle of the ball

Oh, Virginia

I’ll always come when you call

But you just walk on by

My horse and me, we turned to check out old Virginia

To see if she looked the same

With gentle reigns

With gentle reigns

But when I called she did not deign to look my way

Only the echo of her name

Across the plains

Many a man has bent down on a knee for you

I understand I was among the chosen few

Oh, Virginia…

And in my dream my horse she looked at me

And I did nod

And said “old girl, let’s go”

We hit the road, we hit the road

We hit the road

We took it slow

The storm is lashing at my windowpane

And I’ve been feeling kinda blue

And I’ve been hoping that you’d ease my pain

And let me kiss your new tattoo

I feel like I been standing here forever

In the doorway of my life

And I could pull myself together

And step outside into the light

And rain is bleeding through the cracks of time

Which proves there’s always a way through

I need some substance that will dull my mind

So I can quit thinking of you

The peaceful river has been pushed to rage

As the mountain sheds it’s skin

And I’m confronting both my time and age

I gotta find the peace within

And oh sweet lady I’m going away

‘Cause I got nothing left to say

And if I make it through the day

I’ll find my way to old Santa Fe

I’ll find my way to Santa Fe

I’ll find my way to Santa Fe

You say you want love

You say you want truth

You say you want it easy

You say you want proof

You say you want a fire

Always underneath your stove

You say you want it tended

To guarantee love

You say you want grace

You say you want absolution

You say you want your mind

To come up with a solution

Well what do you want?

Can you tell me again?

‘Cause I can’t hear nothing

Through all this pain

What was that you said?

I’m listening hard

And I want to be your confessor

Under the stars

You say you want peace

You say you want a connection

You say you wanna never

Experience rejection

You say you want to see the light

Always shining in your eyes

You say you want to see the sun

Always shining in your skies

You say you want an ocean

Of understanding at your fingertips

You say you want a sweet sweet kiss

Always hanging at your lips

Well what do you want…

I wanna be your ship when you are tossed

I wanna be the one to save you at whatever cost

I wanna be the one to find you when you are lost

I wanna be the one to be there when you’re crying

Carry your cross

But you say you want love…

Darlin’, step away from the well

Darlin’, step away from the well

Where you going, only time gonna tell

So darlin’, step away from the well

We are only hobos on this earth

Wandering, searching for something of worth

Listening for the toll of the bell

So darlin’, step away from the well

Drop a coin, drop a coin

Drop that coin and just walk away

I met myself on the road

I helped myself carry my heavy load

I told a new story to myself

So darlin’, step away from the well

Drop a coin…

Maybe the future will be

And maybe the past is a tree

I heard that tree when it fell

So darlin’ step away from the well

Darlin’ step away from the well

Why can’t you hear this prayer of mine?

This prayer is so sincere

This prayer it moves like crystal wine

This prayer is so sincere

I’m still lost in you

I wish I could let you go

But my arms want to hold you

My eyes to behold

My lips want to drink you in

My mind to talk to yours

My soul to be connected

My heart to feel your pulse

So why…

I wish you could taste my art

Wish you could feel my streams

Around you I have no boundaries

I fish for you in my dreams

Your righteous indignation

Has made me tired and sad

My prayer is slowly dying

I need you oh so bad

So why…

I left my love

Down by the riverside

She was young and

So was I

Hair of gold

Eyes so bold

Like fires

In the night
