03:17You know how it is
03:23But I have to tell you one short thing
03:29Won't you listen to this?
03:41I want to tell you
03:45That I love you, baby
03:54I want to tell you
03:57Just how I feel

05:03That lost my driving wheel
05:09Just like some old angel
05:26What good is that happy life
05:32All you wanted from the start
05:37Was to cry, girl
05:45Looks like another fall
05:50Your friends don't seem to help at all
05:56When you're feeling kinda cold and small
06:02Call on your rainy day man
06:08It does you no good to pretend, girl
06:14You've made a hole
06:15That's much too big to mend
06:20Looks like you're losing your mind, friend
06:25So call on your rainy day man
06:31Now rainy day man
06:34Don't like sunshine
06:37Don't chase rainbows
06:39Rainbows can't use no good times
06:44Rainy day's rolling
06:47Then you'll see him
06:50Empty feeling
06:53Like you need him
07:01All those noble thoughts don't belong
07:06You can't hide the truth with a happy song
07:12And you knew where you stood all along
07:18So call on your rainy day man
07:24Simple pleasures all evade you
07:30Store-bought treasures none can save you
07:35So you ask for signs
07:38To ease the pain
07:41Ask again for hope
07:44Pray for rain
07:52Looks like another fall
07:57Your friends don't seem to help at all
08:03When you're feeling kinda cold and small

18:22I've been out walkin'
18:27I don't do that much talkin' these days
18:33These days
18:38These days I seem to think a lot
18:42About the things that I forgot to do
18:50And all of the time I had the chance to
19:03Acoustic guitar
19:11I had a lover
19:16I don't think I'll risk another these days
19:23These days
19:27And if I seem to be afraid
19:30To live the life that I have made in song
19:38Well, it's just cause I've been losin' so long
19:56Acoustic guitar
19:59I've quit my schemin'
20:04I don't do all that dreamin' these days
20:11These days
20:15These days I sit on cornerstones
20:19Count the time in quarter tones to ten
20:26Don't confront me with my failures
20:32I have not forgotten
20:52Acoustic guitar
20:57Acoustic guitar
21:02Wild child in a world of trouble
21:07Wild children in a world of pain
21:15Lost child in a world of sorrow
21:20Searchin' children in a world of shame
21:27Searchin' children in a world of shame
21:35It's been a world of trouble since I came here
21:40A world of trouble way above that
21:48A world of trouble after I'm gone
21:53It's a world of trouble out there in the end
22:01It's a world of trouble out there in the end
22:14Wild child
22:22Acoustic guitar
22:27Wild child
22:30Acoustic guitar
22:48Wild child in a world of trouble
22:53Wild children in a world of shame
23:00Lost child in a world of sorrow
23:06Searchin' children in a world of shame

23:38It's a world of trouble out there in the end
23:45It's a world of trouble out there in the end
23:55It's a world of trouble after I'm gone
24:18Colors of the sun
24:21Flashing on the water top
24:25Echo from the land
24:31Digging for a coin
24:35Many other tiny words
24:38Slipping past my hand
24:44Wake to understand
24:47You are not dreaming
24:50It is not seeming
24:53Just to be this way
25:00Shadows on the sky
25:04Loneliness of seagull songs
25:08Lifts me from the sand
25:14Fading to the wind
25:17Sitting on a looking glass
25:21Trouble where I stand
25:27Wake to understand
25:30You are not sleeping
25:33You are not keeping
25:36Yourself inside
25:38Diamond drawn numbers in the air
25:44Dream to conquer little bits of time
25:50Scuffle with the crowd to get their share
25:56Fall behind their little bits of time
26:09Voices in the air
26:13Sympathetic harmonies
26:17Coming from the trees
26:23Hanging at my door
26:27Many shiny surfaces
26:30Tingle in the breeze
26:34Leave me where I am
26:37I am not losing
26:40If I am choosing
26:43Not to plan my life
26:51Disillusioned savior
26:54Search the sky
26:57Wanting just to show someone the way
27:02Asking all the people passing by
27:08Doesn't anybody want the way
27:18You say goodbye to Joseph and Maria
27:23They think they see
27:26Another sky
27:29Another sky
27:33From my fallen window I can see them
27:38I'll never free them
27:42From the sky
27:58She climbed the riverbank
28:01And climbed the cypress trees
28:04Practiced all the games she'd play
28:07Imagined who she'd be
28:10Filled her life with fantasies
28:13And lived them as realities
28:16When she was her father's child
28:19Living in a country
28:22Children all made fun of her
28:25They laughed and called her names
28:28Said she was a country child
28:31And she could never change
28:34So she waited all alone
28:37Wishing for the time to come
28:39And she could leave her father's home
28:42Moving from the country
28:45One fall day when she felt brave
28:48She packed up all her things
28:51Went to try the city life
28:54To see what it might bring
28:57Went to test the plans she'd made
29:00Really live the games she'd play
29:03When she was her father's child
29:06Living in a country
29:15Her father's anger followed her
29:18He could not understand
29:21How she could leave the country home
29:24He built with his own hands
29:27Swore the heathen city scum
29:29Would ruin her life in days to come
29:32When she left his holy home
29:34And living in the country
29:37Years went by she learned to laugh
29:40She learned to sometimes cry
29:43Then one day she went back home
29:46And watched her father die
29:49Silently she shed a tear
29:52As she bid the auctioneer
29:55Sell her father's holy home
29:58As she left the country
30:07She never thought she'd ever be
30:10The woman that she dreamed she'd be
30:13When she was her father's child
30:16Living in the country
30:36Goodbye mom, goodbye to you too
30:43Little sister you'll have to wait a while
30:46To come along
30:50Goodbye to this house
30:53And all its memories
30:56We just got too old to say
30:59We'll never see each other again
31:02Goodbye mom, goodbye to you too
31:04We just got too old to say we're wrong
31:12Got to make one last trip to my bedroom
31:18I guess I'll have to leave some stuff behind
31:24It's funny how the same old crooked pictures
31:30Just don't seem the same to me tonight
31:34Oh yeah, oh yeah
31:40There ain't no use in shedding no more tears mom
31:46There ain't no use in shouting at me pa
31:52I can't live no longer with your fears mom
31:58I love you but that hasn't helped at all
32:05Each of us must do the things that matter
32:11All of us must see what we can see
32:17Though it was long ago you must remember
32:23You were once as young and scared as me
32:35I don't know how hard it is yet mom
32:41When you realize you're growing old
32:47I know how hard it is not to be young
32:53I know you've tried to keep me from the cold
32:57And thanks for all you've done, it may sound hollow
33:04Thank you for the good times that we've known
33:10But I must find my own road now to follow
33:17You will all be welcome in my home
33:20You will all be welcome in my home
33:30I've got my suitcase, I must go now
33:36I don't mind about the things you said
33:42I'm sorry mom, I don't know where I'm going
33:45Remember little sister, look ahead
33:54Tomorrow I'll be in some other sunrise
34:00Maybe I'll have someone at my side
34:06Mama give your love back to your husband mom
34:10Mama give your love back to your husband mom
34:16Father you have taught me well, goodbye
34:26Goodbye mom, goodbye to you too, heart
