Planet Waves

You angel you
You got me under your wing.
The way you walk and the way you talk
I feel i could almost sing.

You angel you
You're as fine as anything's fine.
The way you walk and the way you talk
It sure plays on my mind.

You know i can't sleep at night for trying,
Never did feel this way before.
I get up at night and walk the floor.
If this is love then gimme more
And more and more and more and more.

You angel you
You're as fine as can be.
The way you smile like a sweet baby child,
It just falls all over me.

You know i can't sleep at night for trying
Never did feel this way before,
Never did get up and walk the floor.
If this is love then gimme more
And more and more and more.

You angel you
You got me under your wing.
The way you walk and the way you talk
It says everything.

On a night like this
So glad you came around,
Hold on to me so tight
And heat up some coffee grounds.
We got much to talk about
And much to reminisce,
It sure is right
On a night like this.

On a night like this
So glad you've come to stay
Hold on to me, pretty miss
Say you'll never go away to stray.
Run your fingers down my spine
Bring me a touch of bliss
It sure feels right
On a night like this.

On a night like this
I can't get any sleep,
The air is so cold outside
And the snow's so deep.
Build a fire, throw on logs
And listen to it hiss
And let it burn, burn, burn, burn
On a night like this.

Put your body next to mine
And keep me company,
There is plenty a room for all,
So please don't elbow me.

Let the four winds blow
Around this old cabin door,
If i'm not too far off i think we did this once before.
There's more frost on the window glass
With each new tender kiss,
But it sure feels right
On a night like this.

I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed
You were just a painted face on a trip down suicide road.
The stage was set, the lights went out all around the old hotel,
I hate myself for lovin' you and i'm glad the curtain fell.

I hate that foolish game we played and the need that was expressed
And the mercy that you showed to me, who ever would have guessed?
I went out on lower broadway and i felt that place within,
That hollow place where martyrs weep and angels play with sin.

Heard your songs of freedom and man forever stripped,
Acting out his folly while his back is being whipped.
Like a slave in orbit, he's beaten 'til he's tame,
All for a moment's glory and it's a dirty, rotten shame.

There are those who worship loneliness, i'm not one of them,
In this age of fiberglass i'm searching for a gem.
The crystal ball up on the wall hasn't shown me nothing yet,
I've paid the price of solitude, but at last i'm out of debt.

Can't recall a useful thing you ever did for me
'cept pat me on the back one time when i was on my knees.
We stared into each other's eyes 'til one of us would break,
No use to apologize, what diff'rence would it make?

So sing your praise of progress and of the doom machine,
The naked truth is still taboo whenever it can be seen.
Lady luck, who shines on me, will tell you where i'm at,
I hate myself for lovin' you, but i should get over that.

Hazel, dirty-blonde hair
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
You got something i want plenty of
Ooh, a little touch of your love.

Hazel, stardust in your eye
You're goin' somewhere and so am i.
I'd give you the sky high above
Ooh, for a little touch of your love.

Oh no, i don't need any reminder
To know how much i really care
But it's just making me blinder and blinder
Because i'm up on a hill and still you're not there.

Hazel, you called and i came,
Now don't make me play this waiting game.
You've got something i want plenty of
Ooh, a little touch of your love.

I love you more than ever, more than time and more than love,
I love you more than money and more than the stars above,
Love you more than madness, more than waves upon the sea,
Love you more than life itself, you mean that much to me.

Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete,
I've said goodbye to haunted rooms and faces in the street,
To the courtyard of the jester which is hidden from the sun,
I love you more than ever and i haven't yet begun.

You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,
When i was deep in poverty you taught me how to give,
Dried the tears up from my dreams and pulled me from the hole,
Quenched my thirst and satisfied the burning in my soul.

You gave me babies one, two, three, what is more, you saved my life,
Eye for eye and tooth for tooth, your love cuts like a knife,
My thoughts of you don't ever rest, they'd kill me if i lie,
I'd sacrifice the world for you and watch my senses die.

The tune that is yours and mine to play upon this earth,
We'll play it out the best we know, whatever it is worth,
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood,
But happiness to me is you and i love you more than blood.

It's never been my duty to remake the world at large,
Nor is it my intention to sound a battle charge,
'cause i love you more than all of that with a love that doesn't bend,
And if there is eternity i'd love you there again.

Oh, can't you see that you were born to stand by my side
And i was born to be with you, you were born to be my bride,
You're the other half of what i am, you're the missing piece
And i love you more than ever with that love that doesn't cease.

You turn the tide on me each day and teach my eyes to see,
Just bein' next to you is a natural thing for me
And i could never let you go, no matter what goes on,
'cause i love you more than ever now that the past is gone.
