The Original Lyrics
THE NIGHT A NOWHERE MAN TOOK YESTERDAY AWAY
it was a cold days night
when I heard the news please say it's a lie
it's not for him to say goodbye
now here I am
closer than I ever thought I'd be
but to late to say hello....goodbye
so wipe the tears for all the years
he kept you company
you know he would have wanted it that way
but even Lucy in the sky
and the sergeant had to cry
THE NIGHT A NOWHERE MAN TOOK YESTERDAY AWAY
imagine what might have been
he was a man in a million my friend
who was just starting over again
after all the years
of sitting back watching the wheels
it's a sad day in Strawberry Fields ....forever
so wipe the tears for all the years
he kept you company
you know he would have wanted it that way
but even Lucy in the sky
and the sergeant had to cry
THE NIGHT A NOWHERE MAN TOOK YESTERDAY AWAY

I BE MISSING YA BOB MARLEY
I be miss'en ya voice Bob Marley ya songs roll'en round in me head
ya see I've learned to feel the rain and not just to get wet
and waiting in line is a waste of time cause tomorrow ya could be dead
yea- I be miss'en ya voice Bob Marley ya words roll'en round in me head
trouble I not be want'en (mun)/ just some peace and harmony
to live and love the life I want / and (to) be happy to be me
I hear ya words every night and day they be taken me far away
to islands still uncharted (mun) or to a place called yesterday
I be miss'en ya voice Bob Marley ya songs roll'en round in me head
ya see I've learned to feel the rain and not just to get wet
and waiting in line is a waste of time cause tomorrow ya could be dead
yea- I be miss'en ya voice Bob Marley ya words roll'en round in me head
I hear the tides roll into shore / feel the sun upon my face
while I listen to ya music mun / and my dreams fall into place
people feel deh will get hurt / so don't allow themselves to feel
might as well be blind my friend / cause the sun you'll never see
I be miss'en ya voice Bob Marley ya songs roll'en round in me head
ya see I've learned to feel the rain and not just to get wet
and waiting in line is a waste of time cause tomorrow ya could be dead
yea- I be miss'en ya voice Bob Marley ya words roll'en round in me head
the paper say you be famous man / what more could one man wish
ya laughed and smiled and then replied / I don't need no more than this (diss)
leave everything be as it be / don't disturb old mother earth
you be leaven here someday (my friend) / with no more than at birth
I be miss'en ya voice Bob Marley ya songs roll'en round in me head
ya see I've learned to feel the rain and not just to get wet
and waiting in line is a waste of time cause tomorrow ya could be dead
yea- I be miss'en ya voice Bob Marley ya words roll'en round in me head
so live each day now the best you can / you never know when it will end
don't pain your days and nights away / in a world of where or when
just drink some *** and sing a song / cause tomorrows round the bend
talk with those ya do not know / for some day they may be friends

WHEN THE LOVEN IS THROUGH
I won’t deny I haven’t been in this position before
Sometimes it meant less sometimes it meant more
So don’t be offended of I ask is it just for the night
I’ve said so many goodbyes by the morning light
AND WILL YOU KISS ME – WHEN THE LOVEN IS THROUGH
WILL YOU HOLD ME CLOSE TO YOU
AND WILL YOU TOUCH ME – WHEN THE LOVEN IS THROUGH
WILL YOU BE THERE – WHEN THE LOVEN PART IS THROUGH
I want to trust again - I so want to feel love again
So many times my love’s (has) been left in pieces of the floor
So don’t be offended if I seem to be unsure
And give me a reason to believe it’s not just for the night
I’ve said so many goodbyes by the morning light
AND WILL YOU KISS ME – WHEN THE LOVEN IS THROUGH
WILL YOU HOLD ME CLOSE TO YOU
AND WILL YOU TOUCH ME – WHEN THE LOVEN IS THROUGH
WILL YOU BE THERE – WHEN THE LOVEN PART IS THROUGH
I want to trust again - I so want to feel love again
BRIDGE
How long does loneliness last
When should you take another chance
You only lose if yesterday
Takes all your tomorrows away

ONE ON ONE
You touch like a whisper
don't leave a trace
I sense your fingers
fall into place
You've got such rhythm
you set the mood
You've orchestrated
loves every move
You know my pleasures
no need to ask
You set no limits
you make it last
You make me tremble
can't catch my breadth
You keep me guessing
as to what comes next

JUDY GARLAND
Sometimes I wish the wizard in his wisdom
your future he could have seen
Then maybe he’d have made you stay in Oz
to live out all your dreams
And Glinda might not have let you know
by clinking your heels you could go home
If your future they could have ever known
that your rainbow would not be lined with gold
would they have ever let you leave Oz to go home
AND JUDY –TO ME - YOU WILL ALWAYS BE DOROTHY

WHO CARES WHO YOU ARE
I must have played on every corner street
wore my shoes down to my feet
worn out pants and a tattered shirt
and the hunger inside it made me hurt
BUT that's the life of a lonely singer
and his only friend his guitar
yea that's the life of a lonely singer
and a who cares who you are
I thought one day me and my guitar
would both grow up to be superstars
so in every joint I would play my songs
hoping one day folks would sing along
YEA that's the life of a lonely singer
and his only friend his guitar
yea that's the life of a lonely singer
and a who cares who you are
BRIDGE
I sing about my triumphs
and all the times I've failed
the characters within my dreams
from my home made fairy-tales
Like an artist's brush on canvass
when he interprets what he see's
I write down all of my feelings
then sort'em out to see what I mean
YEA that's the life of a lonely singer
and his only friend his guitar
yea that's the life of a lonely singer
and a who cares who you are

TO HELL AND BACK FOR CAPTAIN JACK
her sails are set all hands on deck she's off by early light
her hull it dances on the waves like lovers in the night
she's on her way to nowhere it's a place she's been before
no latitude or longitude no charts to show the course
her cargo is a mystery her destination is unknown
she's sailed by men who long ago in some way lost their souls
her wooden hull will creek and bend till her sails they find a breeze
with grit and spit she rides the sea with a crew of broken dreams
Cause- to hell and back for Captain Jack be it devil or the deep
no man or sea shall take their ship they'll fight and die to keep
For captain jack old captain jack and the schooner Albatross -
they'll brave the storms of unknown worlds no matter what the cost
Cause- to hell and back for Captain Jack be it devil or the deep
no man or sea shall take their ship they'll fight and die to keep
they're beggars thieves and highwaymen no place to call their own
they wear barnacles for britches with skin leathered to the bone
summer heat or winter cold still they sing their sailors songs
as they climb the ropes take down the sails through the worst of storms
they tell their tales on bar room stools of maps and chests of gold
or sing their songs and drink their *** until they pass out cold
some nights they'll pay an ugly ***** so they won't sleep alone
but better men be hard to find who call this ship their home
Cause- to hell and back for Captain Jack be it devil or the deep
no man or sea shall take their ship they'll fight and die to keep
For captain jack old captain jack and the schooner albatross -
they'll brave the storms of unknown worlds no matter what the cost
Cause- to hell and back for Captain Jack be it devil or the deep
no man or sea shall take their ship they'll fight and die to keep

TILL FOREVER ENDS
Yesterday today and forever
my love for you will never die
yesterday today and forever
you will always be by my side
cause you are everything to me
you're everything I'll ever need
you're every hope and every dream
but most of all my love - you're every part of me
you’re oh so soft – like a brand new sunny day
you touch so gently – I so love your gentle ways
I WANT TO LOVE YOU TILL FOREVER ENDS
TILL TOMORROW BECOMES REMEMBER WHEN
I WANT TO HOLD YOU TIGHT EVERY NIGHT
OVER AND OVER AGAIN

LIVEN ON THE RAZORS EDGE
Remember how we used to dream
the things that we were not
I was your knight in shining armor
in our concrete Camelot
We played so many different parts
like actors on a stage
We’d escape through picture magazines
just by turning page to page
Back when we had nothing to lose
by taking a chance by breaking the rules
When we were dead end kids living on the razors edge
and I was King of the streets and you were queen of the avenue
When we were dead end kids living on the razors edge
our castle was a run-down candy store our kingdom the theatre Bijou
And it’s good seeing you again
though it’s been so many years
Since I played your Lancelot
and you my Guinevere
I’m glad to see those special times
neither one of us forgot
And that we no long need to dreams
the things that we are not
Back when we had nothing to lose
by taking a chance by breaking the rules
When we were dead end kids living on the razors edge
and I was King of the streets and you were queen of the avenue
When we were dead end kids living on the razors edge
our castle was a run-down candy store our kingdom the theatre Bijou
