Linda Ronstadt : Cry Like a Rainstorm, Howl Like the Wind
Lyrics
1. STILL WITHIN THE SOUND OF MY VOICE
Where have you gone my darling one
Are you on your own
Are you having fun
Is there someone to hold when you need it bad
Is it uncontrolled like the love we had
Does the day go by like a memory
Do you ever try to remember me
In an automobile or a crowded bar
Well I hope you're all right wherever you are
And if you're still within the sound of my voice
Over some radio
I just want you to know
You were always my only choice
And wherever you go
That I still love you so
If you're still within the sound of my voice
In the dead of night
Do you hear me call
Something's not quite right
No one's there at all
Did you make a mistake
Was it in your head
Or was it really me talking
To your heart instead
And if you're still within the sound of my voice
Watching this video
I just want you to know
That it always made me rejoice
Just to have you so near
There's a place for you here
If you're still within the sound of my voice
I am calling like the echo of a passing train that cries
One last time before it fades into the distant hills and dies
I am sending out a message like a ship out on the sea
In distress but only you can send a lifeline out to me
Are you still within the sound of my voice
Why don't you let me know
I just can't let you go
If it's wrong then I have no choice
But to love you until I no longer have a will
Are you still within the sound of my voice
I am calling like the echo of a passing train that cries
One last time before it fades into the distant hills
And dies
2. CRY LIKE A RAINSTORM
Life isn't easy
Love never lasts
You just carry on
And keep moving fast
I pulled off the highway
And rolled into town
I'm just fancy free babe
And I travel 'round
Sometimes I'm up
Sometimes down
Where can I run to
How have I sinned
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
And my thoughts are filled with memories
They won't let me be
But if all the stars are shining bright
Well they would not let me see
It's so cold and the rain keeps blowing
It's tearing through the town
But I'm still fancy free darling
And I travel 'round
Sometimes I'm up
Sometimes down
Oh where can I run to
How have I sinned
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
Sometimes I'm up
Most times down
Oh where can I run to
Tell me how have I sinned
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
Who can I turn to
Tell me where to begin
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
3. ALL MY LIFE
Am I really here in your arms
This is just like I dreamed it would be
I feel like we're frozen in time
And you're the only one I can see
Hey, I've looked all my life for you
Now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
All my life
And I never really knew how to love
I just hope somehow I'd see
Oh I ask for a little help from above
Send an angel down to me
Hey, I've looked all my life for you
Now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
All my life
I never thought that I could feel a love so tender
Never thought I could let those feelings show
But now my heart is on my sleeve
And this love will never leave
I know
I know
Hey, I've looked all my life for you
And now you're here now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
All my life all my life
Hey, I've looked all my life for you
And now you're here now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
All my life
4. I NEED YOU
Don't need a roller or a limousine
Don't need my picture in a magazine
Don't need approval of a chosen few
Tell you what I do need
I need you
Don't need no fixtures fittings or phone
I'm so unfurnished, I'm on my own
I don't need reminding when the rent is due
I tell you what I do need
I need you
I need you like a flier needs a plane
Oh I need you like a ball needs a game
I need you like a pool needs a cue
Need you, need you, need you
I need you
I don't need no cupboard kisses for company
Don't want no washed up dishes soft soaping me
I don't need no other fella, honey I refuse
Tell you what I do need
I need you
Oh I need you like a flier needs a plane
Oh I need you like a ball needs a game
I need you like a shot needs to shoot
Need you, need you, need you
I need you
Need you, need you, need you
I need you
Need you, need you, need you
I need you
5. DON'T KNOW MUCH
Look at this face
I know the years are showing
Look at this life
I still don't know where it's going
I don't know much
But I know I love you
And that may be all I need to know
Look at these eyes
They've never seen what mattered
Look at these dreams
So beat and so battered
I don't know much
But I know I love you
That may be all I need to know
So many questions still left unanswered
So much I've never broken through
And when I feel you near me
Sometimes I see so clearly
The only truth I've ever known is me and you
Look at this man
So blessed with inspiration
Look at this soul
Still searching for salvation
I don't know much
But I know I love you
And that may be all I need to know
I don't know much
But I know I love you
That may be all I need to know
I don't know much
But I know I love you
That may be all there is to know
6. ADIOS
Ran away from home when I was seventeen
To be with you
On the California coast
Drinking margaritas all night in the old cantina
Out on the California coast
Don't think that I'm ungrateful
And don't look so morose
Adios
Adios
We never really made it baby
But we came pretty close
Adios adios
Going up north where the hills are winter green
I have to leave you
On the California coast
Going where the water's clear and the air is cleaner
Than the California coast
Our dreams of endless summer
Were just too grandiose
Adios
Adios
And I miss the blood red sunset
But I miss you the most
Adios adios
Adios
Adios
Adios adios
7. TROUBLE AGAIN
Well I wake up in the night now
And don't you know I think of you
It's the fire in your eyes
That keeps on cutting through
There's nowhere I can run to
Can't seem to lose the thought of you
I never really was a bad girl
But you got me in trouble again
Well I used to walk the straight line
I knew what I was doing all the time
There was nothing left to move me
I always held my ground
But you got me where you want me
And now you're always here to haunt me
I never really was a bad girl
But you got me in trouble again
I still remember how it felt when you put your arms around me
But if I thought you could love me, I was blind
But you got me where you want me
And now you're always here to haunt me
I never really was a bad girl
But you got me in trouble again
Well you'd think I would've learned by now
And I'd keep away from you somehow
Just like a little child
I keep coming back for more
But baby when you come today
Don't you know that I'll come out and play
I never really was a bad girl
But you got me in trouble again
I never really was a bad girl
But you got me in trouble again
Woah I never really was a bad girl
But you got me in trouble again
8. I KEEP IT HID
Deep down inside
I know I still love him
But he'll never know
Cause I'll never tell
I'll confide that I'm thinking of him
And wishing him well
I can't walk up to him and say to him
Baby, what you been doing
I still love you like I did
You know, nothing's really changed here
But being the way I am
I keep it hid
Lately I've seen
That look in his eyes
That just breaks my heart
He needs me so
To lean on at this moment
Oh why can't I walk up to that old love of mine and say
Baby, what you been doing
I still love you like I did
You know, nothing's really changed here
But being the way I am
I keep it hid
Maybe someday I'll throw off my foolish pride
This ain't so good
Watching him die this way
Cause he's the same guy inside
Oh why can't I walk up to that old love of mine and say
Baby, what you been doing
I still love you like I did
You know, nothing's really changed here
But being the way I am
I keep it hid
9. SO RIGHT, SO WRONG
I was walking down the street
With a lot of not much to do
Wondering only if it was gonna rain
When this guy came into view
For a moment I looked crazy
And at first I couldn't work out why
Then something made me turn back the hands of time
To a careless past goodbye
Say you will change your mind
Don't be cruel
I'll be kind
You're so right
You're so wrong
So tough
So right
So wrong
You're so good
When he walked up
Me I stood there
With this picture in my mind
It was a flash like an old photograph
I keep with me all the time
Fished for silver in my pocket
Then I ran for the telephone
I dialed the number of all the reasons
Why you should button up and come on home
Say you will change your mind
Don't be cruel
I'll be kind
You're so right
You're so wrong
You're so tough
So right
So wrong
You're so good
Say you will change your mind
Don't be cruel
I'll be kind
You're so right
We're so wrong
You're so tough
So right
So wrong
You're so good
So right
So wrong
We're so tough
And so strong
10. SHATTERED
Shattered
Like a windowpane
Broken by a storm
Each tiny piece of me lies alone
And scattered
Far beyond repair
All my shiny dreams
Just lying there
I'm broken but I'm laughing
It's the sound of falling glass
I hope that you won't mind if I should cry in public
While I wait for this to pass
Cause sweet darling I'm shattered
Into fragments cold and gray
Sweep the pieces all away
Then no one will ever know how much it mattered
Something deep inside of me
Shattered
11. WHEN SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY BABY
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong is me
And if I know that she's worried
I know I'd feel the same misery
We've been through so much together
We stand as one
That's what makes it better
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me
Just what she means to me now
Oh you just you just wouldn't understand
People can say that she's no good
But she's my woman and I know I'm her man
And if he's got a problem
Woo-oah I know I got to help him solve 'em
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with my baby
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me
12. GOODBYE MY FRIEND
Oh we never know where life will take us
I know it's just a ride on the wheel
And we never know when death will shake us
And we wonder how it will feel
So goodbye my friend
I know I'll never see you again
But the time together through all the years
Will take away these tears
It's okay now
Goodbye my friend
I've seen a lot things that make me crazy
And I guess I held on to you
We could've run away and left well maybe
But it wasn't time and we both knew
So goodbye my friend
I know I'll never see you again
But the love you gave me through all the years
Will take away these tears
I'm okay now
Goodbye my friend
Life's so fragile and love's so pure
We can't hold on but we try
We watch how quickly it disappears
And we never know why
But I'm okay now
Goodbye my friend
You can go now
Goodbye my friend
