1 . DON’T CRY NO TEARS

Don't cry no tears around me
Don't cry no tears around me
'Cause when all the water's gone
The feeling lingers on

Old true love ain't too hard to see
Don't cry no tears around me

Well I wonder who's with her tonight
And I wonder who's holding her tight
But there's nothing I can say
To make him go away

Old true love ain't too hard to see
Don't cry no tears around me

There's nothing I can say
To make him go away

Old true love ain't too hard to see
Don't cry no tears around me
Don't cry no tears around me


2. DANGER BIRD

Danger bird, he flies alone
And he rides the wind back to his home
Although his wings have turned to stone

And we used to be so calm
Now I think about you
All day long
'Cause you've been with another man
Here you are and here I am

That's the moment that he cracked long ago in the museum With his friends

The jailbird takes the raps
And he finds himself spread-eagled on the tracks
But the training that he learned will get him nowhere fast.

And I know we should be free
But freedom's just a prison to me
'Cause I lied to keep it kind
When I left you far behind

With the rain pounding on his back he recalls
The moment that he cracked long ago in the museum with his friends
And like those memories the rain keeps pounding down, down, down

And though these wings have turned to stone
I can fly fly fly away
Watch me fly above the city
Like a shadow on the sky
Fly, fly, fly


3. PARDON MY HEART

It's a fallen situation
When all eyes are turned in
And a love isn't flowing
The way it could have been

You brought it all on
Oh, but it feels so wrong
You brought it all on
No, no, no
I don't believe this song
You brought it all on

It's a sad communication
With little reason to believe
When one isn't giving
And one pretends to receive

You brought it all on
Oh, but it feels so wrong
You brought it all on
No, no, no
I don't believe this song
You brought it all on

Pardon my heart
If I showed that I cared
But I love you
More than moments
We have or have not shared

You brought it all on
Oh, and it feels so good
You brought it all on
When love flows
The way that it should
You brought it all on

It feels so good
It feels so good
You feel good


4. LOOKING FOR A LOVE

I've been looking for a lover
But I haven't met her yet
She'll be nothing like
I pictured her to be
In her eyes I will discover
Another reason why
I want to live and make the best of what I see

Where the sun hits the water
And the mountains meet the sand
There's a beach that I walk along sometimes
And maybe there I'll meet her
And we'll start to say 'hello'
And never stop to think of any other time

Looking' for a love that's right for me
I don't know how long it's going to be
But I hope I treat her kind
And don't mess with her mind
When she starts to see the darker side of me

Looking' for a love that's right for me
I don't know how long it's going to be
But I hope I treat her kind
And don't mess with her mind
When she starts to see the darker side of me

I've been looking for a lover
But I haven't met her yet
She'll be nothing like
I pictured her to be
In her eyes I will discover
Another reason why
I want to live and make the best of what I see


5. BARSTOOL BLUES

If I could hold on
To just one thought
For long enough to know
Why my mind is moving so fast
And the conversation is slow
Burn off all the fog
And let the sun
Through to the snow
Let me see your face again
Before I have to go

I have seen you in the movies
And in those magazines at night
I saw you on the barstool when
You held that glass so tight
And I saw you in my nightmares
But I'll see you in my dreams
And I might live a thousand years
Before I know what that means

Once there was a friend of mine
Who died a thousand deaths
His life was filled with parasites
And countless idle threats
He trusted in a woman
And on her he made his bets
Once there was a friend of mine
Who died a thousand deaths


6. STUPID GIRL

You're just a stupid girl
You really got a lot to learn
Start living again
Forget about remembering
You're such a stupid girl

You're such a beautiful fish
Flopping on the summer sand
Looking for the wave you missed
When another one is close at hand
You're such a stupid girl

You're such a stupid girl

I saw you in Mercedes Benz
Practicing self-defense
You got it pretty good I guess
I couldn't see your eyes
You're really stupid, girl

You're such a stupid girl


7. DRIVE BACK

Whatever gets you
Through the night
That's all right with me
When it's time to say goodbye
I have to make you see

You won't know me
I won't call you
I won't be there
To remind you
What you told me
When I showed you
In the morning
Let me know you'll

Drive back to your old town
I wanna wake up
With no-one around
Drive back to your old town

If somebody
Is haunting your mind
Look in my eyes
Let me hide you
From yourself and
All your old friends
Every good thing
Comes to an end

Drive back, drive back, drive back

Drive back to your old town
I wanna wake up with no-one around
Drive back to your old town


8. CORTEZ THE KILLER

He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
In that palace in the sun

On the shore lay Montezuma
With his coca leaves and pearls
In his halls he often wondered
With the secrets of the worlds

And his subjects
Gathered 'round him
Like the leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see

And the women all were beautiful
And the men stood
straight and strong
They offered life in sacrifice
So that others could go on

Hate was just a legend
And war was never known
The people worked together
And they lifted many stones

They carried them
To the flatlands
And they died along the way
But they built up
With their bare hands
What we still can't do today

And I know she's living there
And she loves me to this day
I still can't remember when
Or how I lost my way

He came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer


9. THROUGH MY SAILS

Still glaring
From the city lights
Into paradise I soared
Unable to come down
For reasons I'd ignored

Total confusion
Disillusion
New things I'm knowing
I'm standing on the shoreline
It's so fine out there
Leaving with the wind blowing
But love takes care

Know me, know me
Show me, show me
New things I'm knowing

Wind blowing through my sails
It feels like I'm gone
Leaving with the wind blowing
Through my sails
