1. _ I Wish, I Wish
Oh yeah,
I wish I knew, I wish I knew
What makes me, me, and what makes you, you.
It's just another point of view, (ooh)
A state of mind I'm going through, (yes)
So what I see is never true, (ahh)
I wish I could tell, I wish I could tell
What makes a heaven what makes a hell.
And do I get to ring my bell, (ooh)
Or land up in some dusty cell, (no)
While others reach the big hotel, (yeah)
I wish I had, I wish I had
The secret of good, and the secret of bad.
Why does this question drive me mad? (ahh)
'Cause I was taught when but a lad, (yeah)
That bad was good and good was bad, (no)
I wish I knew the mystery of
That thing called hate, and that thing called love.
What makes the in-between so rough? (ahh)
Why is it always push and shove? (ahh)
I guess I just don't know enough, (yeah)
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I wish I knew, I wish I knew,
I wish I knew, I wish I knew
Somebody tell me, somebody tell me
Ohh, ohh

2. _ If I Laugh
'Cause if I laugh just a little bit
Maybe I can forget the chance
That I didn't have to know you
And live in peace, in peace
'Cause if I laugh just a little bit
Maybe I can forget the plans that
I didn't use to get you
At home, with me, alone
Oh yeah
'Cause if I laugh just a little bit
Maybe I can recall the way
That I used to be, before you
And sleep at night, and dream
'Cause if I laugh, baby if I laugh
Just a little bit
Oh yeah

3. _ Trouble
Trouble
Oh trouble set me free
I have seen your face
And it's too much too much for me
Trouble
Oh trouble can't you see
You're eating my heart away
And there's nothing much left of me
I've drunk your wine
You have made your world mine
So won't you be fair
So won't you be fair
I don't want no more of you
So won't you be kind to me
Just let me go where
I'll have to go there
Trouble
Oh trouble move away
I have seen your face
And it's too much for me today
Trouble
Oh trouble can't you see
You have made me a wreck
Now won't you leave me in my misery
I've seen your eyes
And I can see death's disguise
Hangin' on me
Hangin' on me
I'm beat, I'm torn
Shattered and tossed and worn
Too shocking to see
Too shocking to see
Trouble
Oh trouble move from me
I have paid my debt
Now won't you leave me in my misery
Trouble
Oh trouble please be kind
I don't want no fight
And I haven't got a lot of time

4. _ Changes IV
Don't you feel a change a coming
From another side of time
Breaking down the walls of silence
Lifting shadows from your mind
Placing back the missing mirrors
That before you couldn't find
Filling mysteries of emptiness
That yesterday left behind
And we all know it's better
Yesterday has past
Now let's all start the living
For the one that's going to last
Yes we all know it's better
Yesterday has past
Now let's all start living
For the one that's going to last
Don't you feel the day is coming
That will stay and remain
When your children see the answers
That you saw the same
When the clouds have all gone
There will be no more rain
And the beauty of all things
Is uncovered again
And we all know it's better
Yesterday has past
Now let's all start the living
For the one that's going to last
Yes we all know it's better
Yesterday has past
Now let's all start living
For the one that's going to last
Don't you feel the day is coming
And it won't be too soon
When the people of the world
Can all live in one room
When we shake off the ancient
Shake off the ancient chains of our tomb
We will all be born again
Of the eternal womb
And we all know it's better
Yesterday has past
Now let's all start the living
For the one that's going to last
Yes we all know it's better
Yesterday has past
Now let's all start living
For the one that's going to last
Let's all start living
Let's all start living, living, living, living
For the one that's going last
(The one that's going to last)
(The one that's going to last)

5. _ Wind
I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul
Where I'll end up, well I think only God really knows
I've sat upon the setting sun...
But never, never, never, never
I never wanted water once
No never, never, never
I listen to my words but they fall far below
I let my music take me where my heart wants to go
I swam upon the Devil's lake...
But never, never, never, never
I'll never make the same mistake
No - never, never, never

6. _ Katmandu
I sit beside the dark
Beneath the mire
Cold gray dusty day
The morning lake
Drinks up the sky
Katmandu I'll soon be seeing you
And your strange bewildering time
Will hold me down
Pass me my hat and coat
Lock up the cabin
Slow night treat me right
Until I go
Be nice to know
Katmandu I'll soon be touching you
And your strange bewildering time
Will hold me down
La la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la
Chop me some broken wood
We'll start a fire
White warm light the dawn
And help me see
Old Satan's tree
Katmandu I'll soon be touching you
And your strange bewildering time
Will keep me home

7. _ Angelsea
She moves like and angel
And seven evening stars
Dance through the window
Of her universal house
He voice a crystal echo
Lies humming in your soul
So patiently awaiting
For your ears to behold
She ripples on the water
Leaves diamonds on the shore
And fish from every distance
Watch her ocean cellar door
Her breath a warm fire
In every lovers heart
A mistress to magicians
And a dancer to the gods
And a dancer to the gods
Her clothes are made of rainbows
And twenty thousand tears
Shine through the spaces
Of her golden ochre hair
Ooh my babe I want you
And on my life I swear
My conscience will I follow you forever
If you meet me everywhere
Yes if you if you meet me everywhere

8. _ Thinking ‘Bout You
When I hold your hand,
I could fly a zillion miles with you.
When I see your grace,
I can see you're God's words come true.
Every little bird above the haze,
And fish beneath the waves,
Knows about you
Wouldn't they do.
When I see your eyes,
I can see rainbows in the sky.
Being with you,
All who parted reunite.
Every little pearl drop in the clouds,
And stones beneath the ground,
Are waiting for you
Wouldn't they do.
Whatever you say
Lightens up the burden of the day.
Whatever you do
Makes us ever want to follow you.
Whatever they say,
Whatever they do,
I'll always love you.
Every burning comet that zooms,
And angels too,
Think about you
Wouldn't they do.
Thinkin' bout you,
I could climb a mountain in the dark.
Listenin' to you,
Flowers dance in the park.
Whatever they say,
Whatever they do,
We'll always love you.
The words that you say,
Lightens up the burdens of the day.
Whatever you do,
Makes us want to follow you.
Whatever they say,
Whatever they do,
I'll always love you.

9. _ Roadsinger
Roadsinger came to town, long cape and hat,
People stood and stared then closed their doors, as he passed,
He strolled the empty street, kids banged on tin cans,
Then the panting dogs began to bark, as the roadsinger sang
Where do you go, where do you go,
When hearts are closed,
When a friend becomes a stranger,
Nobody wants to know
Where do you go, where do you go,
When the world turns dark,
And the light of truth is blown out,
And the roads are blocked
He stopped by a stall, between the barrels and sacks,
A child's face peeped out and gave a smile, and ran back,
Behind a misty glass, on a windowpane,
A little finger drew a perfect heart, and a name
Where do you go, where do you go,
In a world filled with fright,
Only a song to warm you, through the night
Where do you go, where do you go,
After lies are told,
And the light of truth is blown out,
And the night is cold
Roadsinger rode on, to another land,
Though the people spoke a different tongue, it understand,
They showed him how to share, and took him by the hand,
Showed him the path to Heaven, through the desert sand
Where do you go, where do you go,
To find happiness,
In a world filled with hatred, (Cheers)
Where do you go, where do you go,
If no one cares,
And everybody's lost, looking for theirs

10. _ Oh Very Young
Oh very young, what will you leave us this time
You're only dancin' on this earth for a short while
And though your dreams may toss and turn you now
They will vanish away like your dads best jeans
Denim blue, faded up to the sky
And though you want them to last forever
You know they never will
(you know they never will)
And the patches make the goodbye harder still.
Oh very young what will you leave us this time
There'll never be a better chance to change your mind
And if you want this world to see a better day
Will you carry the words of love with you
Will you ride the great white bird into heaven
And though you want to last forever
You know you never will
(you know you never will)
And the goodbye makes the journey harder still.
Will you carry the words of love with you
Will you ride, oh, oooh
Oh very young, what will you leave us this time
You're only dancin' on this earth for a short while
Oh very young, what will you leave us this time

11. _ Morning has Broken
Morning has broken like the first morning,
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird.
Praise for the singing,
Praise for the morning,
Praise for them springing fresh from the world.
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven,
Like the first dewfall on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden,
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass.
Mine is the sunlight,
Mine is the morning,
Born of the one light Eden saw play.
Praise with elation, praise ev'ry morning,
God's recreation of the new day.
Morning has broken...

12. _ Everytime I Dream
Every time I dream I keep seeing,
Streets and alleyways, places that I've never known,
Every time I dream I am being,
Lifted to a height, that I too frightened to go,
Then I wake up and find everything's away, it seems, one night ago,
Every time I sleep I keep hoping,
This would be the night of nights that I see you again,
As I close my eyes like rims and curtains, slowly rising on an empty stage,
Then I'm back in the stall sitting all alone waiting for the show to begin,
Oh oh
Every time I dream I would often find myself running,
From a wild pack of lice,
'Till I reach a house and hear the gurge upstairs,
And look for a place to hide,
But if I saw you there,
I wouldn't dare dream again of opening my eyes,

13. _ Father and Son
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
Son, away away away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone, no son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
Father, stay stay stay, why must you go and
Make this decision alone?

14. _ Miles from Nowhere
Miles from nowhere
I guess I'll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there
Look up at the mountain
I have to climb
Oh yeah, to reach there.
Lord my body has been a good friend
But I won't need it when I reach the end
Miles from nowhere
I guess I'll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there
I creep through the valleys
And I grope through the woods
'Cause I know when I find it my honey
It's gonna make me feel good, yes
I love everything
So don't it make you feel sad
'Cause I'll drink to you, my baby
I'll think to that, I'll think to that.
Miles from nowhere
Not a soul in sight
Oh yeah, but it's alright
I have my freedom
I can make my own rules
Oh yes, the ones that I choose
Lord my body has been a good friend
But I won't need it when I reach the end
I love everything
So don't it make you feel sad
'Cause I'll drink to you, my baby
I'll think to that, I'll think to that.
Oh yeah
Miles from nowhere
Guess I'll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there.

15. _ If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out
Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
Cause there's a million things to be
You know that there are
And if you want to live high, live high
And if you want to live low, live low
Cause there's a million ways to go

And if you want to say no, say no

And if you want to be you, be you
Cause there's a million things to do
You know that there are
You can do what you want
The opportunity's on
And if you can find a new way
You can do it today
You can make it all true
And you can make it undo

Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
Cause there's a million things to be
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are

16. _ But I Might Die Tonight
I don't want to work away
Doing just what they all say
Work hard boy and you'll find
One day you'll have a job like mine
'Cause I know for sure
Nobody should be that poor
To say yes or sink low
Because you happen to say so, say so, you say so
I don't want to work away
Doing just what they all say
Work hard boy and you'll find
One day you'll have a job like mine, job like mine, a job like mine
Be wise, look ahead
Use your eyes he said
Be straight, think right
But I might die tonight!
