1. _ Morningside
Written by: neil diamond
Morningside
The old man died
And no one cried
They simply turned away
And when he died
He left a table made of nails and pride
And with his hands he carved these words inside
"for my children"
Morning light
Morning bright
I spent the night
With dreams that make you weep
Morning time
Wash away the sadness from these eyes of mine
For i recall the words the old man signed
"for my children"
And the legs were shaped with his hands
And the top made of oaken wood
And the children sat around this table
Touched with their laughter
Ah, and that was good
Morningside
An old man died
And no one cried
He surely died alone
And truth is sad
For not a child would claim the gift he had
The words he carved became his epitath
"for my children"

2. _ High Rolling Man
Words and music by neil diamond
Roll 'em in the morning, roll without no warning,
Hot damn, hot damn, hot damn, you know that he could and he would,
He's a high rollin' man in a high rollin' neighborhood.
Roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em.
Don't do much good, but good lord, he could roll 'em.
Lord, he was a dreamer, hardly worth redeeming,
Hot damn, hot damn, hot damn, you know that he was, lord, he was,
But when it comes to his thumbs, ain't a man who can do what he does.
Roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll'em,
Don't do much good, but good lord, he could roll 'em.
Roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em,
Don't do much good, but good lord, he could roll 'em.
Roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em,
Don't do much good, but good lord, he could roll 'em.

3. _ Porcupine Pie
Porcupine pie, porcupine pie, porcupine pie
Vanilla soup, a double scoop please
No, maybe i won't, maybe i won't, maybe i will
The tutti fruit with fruity blue cheese
Ah, but porcupine pie, porcupine pie, porcupine pie
Don't let it get on your jeans
And though it sounds a little strange
Well, you gotta eat it with gloves
Or your hands will turn green
Ah, but porcupine pie, porcupine pie, porcupine pie
It weaves it's web from a drink
And i do believe i'm gonna get one
Vanilla ??? for dessert chicken ripple ice cream

4. _ Canta Libre
Canta libre, canta vida, de mi madre, y mi padre,
Canta mi corazon, para los ninos, y sus ninos, canta libre.
I got music runnin' in my head,
Makes me feel like a young bird flyin',
'cross my mind and layin' in my bed,
Keeps me away from the thought of dyin'.
Canta libre, canta vida, de mi madre y mi padre.
I got music runnin' in my brain,
Ev'ry song with it's own kind of meaning,
Cleanse the soul and wash away the pain,
Baptized by the song that you're singing.
Canta libre, canta la vida,
Siempre conmigo, canta libre.
Canta libre, canta la vida.
Canta mi corazon, paralos ninos, y sus ninos, canta libre,
De mi madre, y mi padre, canta libre, canta libre.

6. _ Walk On Water
Walk on water
Words and music by neil diamond
Walk on water, ain't it like her,
She leads the children,
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right!
And ain't it wond'rous, the way she does it,
Gives love and loves it,
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right!
Light de light, we got mornin', mornin' makes another day,
Glory sight, got de dawnin',
Lordy, light the night away!
Light de light, we got mornin', mornin' makes another day,
Glory sight, got de dawnin'
Lordy, light the night away!
Light de light, we got mornin', mornin' makes another day,
Glory sight, got de dawnin'
Lordy, light the night away!
She walks on water, ain't it like her,
She leads the children,
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right!

7. _ Gitchy Goomy
Gitchy goomy, gitchy gaddy, sit you laddie down on your daddy's knee,
And ain't it a nice place to be?
Goggin noggin, papa's rockin' like a mockin' bird in a windy tree,
And that ain't no place for me.
Been there one time, been there two times,
Been there three times more than i care to be,
But we're gonna make it through, gitchy goomy.
Life is good, life is fine, life is warm,
Life is kind, can you see it?
Love is great, love is right,
Keeps you warm late at night when you need it.
Baby boy, daddy's joy, life's a toy,
But you don't wanna break it.
Like a sweet symphony, all you need is the key, you can play it.
Gitchy goomy, gitchy gaddy, sit you laddie down while i have my say,
Now don't be runnin' away.
Goggin noggin, papa's talkin'
Don't go walkin' off like you mean to play,
Well, you can have it your way.
Been there one time, been there two times,
Been there three times more than i care to say,
But you're gonna be o.k. gitchy goomy.
Life is good, life is fine, life is warm,
Life is kind, can you see it?
Love is great, love is right,
Keeps you warm late at night when you need it.
Baby boy, daddy's joy, life's a toy,
But you don't wanna break it.
Like a sweet symphony, all you need is the key, you can play it.
Been there one time, been there two times,
Been there three times more than i care to be,
Seen it one time, seen it two times,
Seen it three times, lord 'n' it's plain to see.
Ah, you gonna make it through gitchy goomy.
You 'n' me gonna make it through gitchy goomy.
Ah, you gonna make it through gitchy goomy.

8. _ Play Me
Written by: neil diamond
She was morning
And i was night time
I one day woke up
To find her lying
Beside my bed
I softly said
"come take me"
For i've been lonely
In need of someone
As though i'd done
Someone wrong somewhere
I don't know where
Come lately
You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me
Song she sang to me
Song she brang to me
Words that rang in me
Rhyme that sprang from me
Warmed the night
And what was right
Became me
You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me
And so it was
That i came to travel
Upon the road
That was thorned and narrow
Another place
Another grace
Would save me
You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me

10. _ Song Sung Blue
Written by: neil diamond
Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
Sing them out again
Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know it, start to feeling good
You simply got no choice
Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one

11. _ Captain Sunshine
Words and music by neil diamond
Captain sunshine, make me drink wine,
Make me feel fine when i'm feelin' wrongly down.
He don't take much, he don't make much,
But ah, to be such a man as he,
And walk so pure between the earth and the sea.
Captain sunshine, he do me fine,
Make the words rhyme when he knows the tune is sad.
He don't take much, he don't make much,
But ah, to be such a man as he,
And walk so pure between the earth and the sea.
He don't take much, he don't make much,
But ah, to be such a man as he,
And walk so pure between the earth and the sea.
