Ballad Album

(j. hendrix)

Angel came down from heaven yesterday
Stayed with me long enough to rescue me
And she told me a story yesterday
About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea
Then she spread her wings high over me
She said she's goin' now, come back tomorrow
And i said, "fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel tomorrow i'm gonna be by your side"

Fly away, high away, fly away

Sure enough this morning came unto me
Silver wings silhouetted against a child's sunrise
And my angel she said unto me
Today's the day for you to rise
Take my hand, you're gonna be my man, you're gonna rise
Then she took me high over yonder

And i said, "fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel forever i will be by your side"
And i said, "fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel forever i will be by your side"
Fly away, come back another day

(rod stewart)

When the rain came i thought you'd leave
'cause i knew how much you loved the sun
But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm
Through the darkest nights i've ever known
If the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
Then i know i love ya

Oh the snow fell without a break
Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know
Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years
I couldn't believe you kept a smile
Now i can rest assured knowing that we've seen the worst
And i know i love ya

Oh i never was good with romantic words
So the next few lines come really hard
Don't have much but what i've got is yours
Except of course my steel guitar
Ha, 'cause i know you don't play
But i'll teach you one day
Because i love ya

I recall the night we knelt and prayed
Noticing your face was thin and pale
I found it hard to hide my tears
I felt ashamed i felt i'd let you down
No mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
Couldn't change a thing no, no

The coldest winter in almost fourteen years
Could never, never change your mind

And i love ya
Yes indeed and i love ya
And i love ya
Lordy i love ya

(paul mccartney)

In a couple of hours i'll be drivin' home to the one i love
So save your breath sweet painted lady it won't be me
Over the mountain and under the sea
They'll never be another one like mine for me

It was only an hour or so ago that i sang my song
Persuaded painted ladies that i could say i'd been free
Over the mountain and under the sea
They'll never be another one like mine for me

Mine is always, mine is grand
Don't you know that the woman that love me she understands
And can't you see that it's mine for me
And in a couple of hours i'll be driving home to the one i love
So save your breath sweet painted lady it won't be me
Over the mountain and under the sea
They'll never be another one like mine for me
You're for me

Mine is always, mine is grand
Don't you know that the woman that love me she understands
And can't you see that it's mine for me
They'll never be another one like mine for me
They'll never be another one like mine for me

They'll never be another one like you for me

(bernie taupin, elton john)

Soon the pines will be falling everywhere
Village children always fighting for fair share
And the six-o-nine goes roarin' down the creek
As parson lee prepares his service for next week

I saw grandma yesterday down at the store
Well she's really lookin' fine for eighty-four
And she asked me if some time i'd fix the barn
Poor old girl, she needs a man down on the farm

Chorus:
And it's good old country comforts in my bones
Just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known
Just an old fashioned feeling in my bones
Country comforts and the road that's going home

Down at the mill they've got a new machine
Foreman says it cuts manpower by fifteen
"oh, but that ain't natural" old man grayson says
'cause he's a horse-drawn man until his dying days

(chorus)

(bob dylan)

If you're traveling in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to the one who lives there
She was once a true love of mine

And if you're goin' when the snowflakes storm
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see for me she has a coat so warm
To keep her from the howling wind

Would you see for me that her hair's hanging long
That it rolls and flows all down her breasts
See for me that her hair's hanging long
'cause that's the way i remember her best

But i'm a-wondering if she remembers me at all
Many times i've often prayed
In the darkness of my night
In the brightness of my day
So if you're traveling in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to the one who lives there
'cause she was once, she was once a true love of mine

And she'll always be a true love of mine
And i never, never, never, never give her up

(tim hardin)

If i listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while i cried
Still i look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
Never think about myself

If i gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way just to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while i cried
Still i look to find a reason to believe

If i listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while i cried
Still i look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
Never think about myself
