Cold Spring Harbor

Oh, sweet lady, runnin' like a stream
You don't look back because you know your hands are clean
You make believe the past was just a dream
You make believe the past was just a dream

Turn around, turn around
And i will sing for you a song
I don't know where you been
But you've been gone too long

Oh, elisa, you must begin again
And all the roads that you have walked are comin' to an end
I was your lover but i thought i was your friend
I loved you but i thought i was your friend

Turn around, turn around
And i will sing for you a song
I don't know where you been
But you've been gone too long

Oh, sweet lady, stand beside the sea
Maybe you will find a little time to think of me
Won't you please remember what i tried so hard to be
Yeah, remember what i tried so hard to be

So turn around, turn around
And i will sing for you a song
And i don't know where you been
But you've been gone too long

You can make me free
You can make me smile
You can make me be
Like a little child

You can melt the ice that chills my body
You can dry my every tear
You make the lonely hours disappear

You can make me free
You can make me rise
You can make me see
So open up my eyes

Don't you know my only real moments
Are the ones i spend with you
How i long to drink some wine again with you

I can take to the skies
I can soar like a bird with its heart full of song
Won't you color my eyes
I've been waiting so long

You can make me free
You can make me cry
You can make it so much better
If you would only try

And if i must wait a lonely lifetime
Until i am with you, my love
I will wait but you'll be what i'm dreamin' of

I can take to the skies
I can soar like a bird with his heart full of song
Won't you cover my eyes
I've been waiting so long

You can make me free
You can make me cry
You can make it so much better
If you would only try

And if i must wait a lonely lifetime
Until i am with you, my love
I will wait but you'll be what i'm dreamin' of

I can take to the skies
I can soar like a bird with his heart full of song
Won't you cover my eyes
I've been waiting so long

You can make me free
You can make me cry
You can make it so much better
If you would only try

And if i must wait a lonely lifetime
Until i am with you, my love
I will wait but you'll be what i'm dreamin' of

You can make me free
You can make me cry
You can make it so much better
If you would only try

Of all the people in the world that i know
You're the best place to go
When i cry, when i cry

I never asked for much before, not before
Things are changed; i need more
Tell me why, judy, why?

I never thought that she would say
Say goodbye; but she did
And now i wanna die. i wanna die

I never thought that i would need, need a friend
But i did, in the end
Tell me why, judy, why

Oh, what a scene
It's wrong for her to hang me up this way
Oh, where you been?
'cause it's so hard to make it through the day

A man my age is very young, so i'm told
Why do i feel so old?
Tell me why, judy, why?

Oh, what a scene
It's wrong for her to hang me up this way
Oh, where you been?
'cause it's so hard to make it through the day

There's no tomorrow 'cause my dreams did not last
So i live in the past
Tell me why, judy, why?

I've been livin' for the moment
But i just can't have my way
And i'm afraid to go to sleep
'cause tomorrow is today

People tell me life is sweeter
But i don't hear what they say
Nothing comes to change my life
So tomorrow is today

I don't care to know the hour
'cause it's passing anyway
I don't have to see tomorrow
'cause i saw it yesterday

So i listen for and answer
But the feeling seems to stay
And what's the use of always dreaming
If tomorrow is today

Still i'm waiting for the morning
But it feels so far away
And you don't need the love i'm giving
So tomorrow is today

Oh, my. goin' to the river
Gonna take a ride and the lord will deliver me
Made my bed, now i'm gonna lie in it
If you don't come, i'm sure gonna die in it
Too late. too much given
I've seen a lot of life and i'm damn sick of livin' it
I keep hopin' that you will pass my way

And some day if your dreams are leavin' you
I'll still believe in you

I don't care to know the hour
'cause it's passing anyway
I don't have to see tomorrow
'cause i saw it yesterday

Though i'm living and i'm singing
And although my hands still play
Soon enough it will all be over
'cause tomorrow is today

Once upon a time in the land of misty satin dreams
There stood a house and a man who painted nature scenes
He painted trees and fields and animals and streams and he stayed
And he didn't hear the fallin' of the rain

In the forest green lived a girl who put her hair in braids
And she sang as she walked all around the wooded glade
She was glad when the rain came falling on her face and she sang
'cause she didn't mind the fallin' of the rain

Will it always be the same as we recall?
Does it touch you when the rain begins to fall?
Ah, but i don't want to know and i don't want to see
Another rainy day without you lyin' next to me

High upon a hill far away from all the dusty crowd is a boy
With his eyes on the ground; his head is bowed; he is a fool
And his mind is filled with hopeless dreams and he waits
But he will not see the fallin' of the rain

Will it always be the same as we recall?
Does it touch you when the rain begins to fall?
Ah, but i don't want to know and i don't want to see
Another rainy day without you lyin' next to me

So now the boy becomes the man who sits and paints all day
But the girl with the braids in her hair has gone away
And it seems that time has brought things to an end; nothing's changed
'cause you can't stop the fallin' rain.
