When I go away
I know my heart can stay with my love
It's understood
Everywhere with my love
My love does it good, whoa
My love, oh only my love
My love does it good

And when the cupboard's bare
I'll still find something there with my love
It's understood
Everywhere with my love
My love does it so good, whoa
My love, oh only my love
My love does it good

Only my love, oh only my love
Only my love, hold the other things to me
Oh, only my love, oh only my love
Only my love does it good to me

Everywhere with my love
Don't you see my love
It does it so good
Oh, only my love, only my love
My love does it good

Don't ever ask me why
I never say "good-bye" to my love
It's understood
'Cause everywhere with my love
My love does it good, whoa
Only my love, oh only my love
My love does it good

Oh only my love
Only my love does it good to me,whoa

Once we wake up everyday
And smiled remembering
How we loved the night away
Now we look for small talk
When it's time to dim the light
Then we both pretend we're tired
We can always love some other night

[Chorus:]
So we wake up in the morning
And we go our separate ways
Present in our silence
As the music softly plays
Each day like the day before
We tell ourselves
We'll try once more
To once again we lay here
Barely touching in our bed
We're just two people
Clinging to a thread

And so we just pretend a bit
And we never say the words
That spell the end of it
Still we go on trying
To fan the dying spark
And sometimes
Even reach out
For each other in the dark

My father married a pure Cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The Indians said I was white by law
The white man always called me "Indian Squaw"

CHORUS:
Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, she's no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born

We never settled, went from town to town
When you're not welcome you don't hang around
The other children always laughed at me
"Give her a feather, she's a Cherokee"

Chorus

We weren't accepted and I felt ashamed
Nineteen I left them, tell me who's to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
But I can't run away from what I am

Chorus

Now the greenest green I've ever seen
Was the grass on which you laid
And the bluest blue was in my eyes
When you said you couldn't stay
And the biggest lost I ever took
Was losing what we've begun
And the greatest song I ever heard
Was the one we never sung

Now the reddest red I've always said
Is the sunset coming down
Soon the blackest night that kills the light
Is the only thing around
And the downest down I ever been
Is when I knew my race was run
And the greatest song I ever heard
Was the one we never sung

Time will kill the pain they say
And we'll live to love another day
If you wanna win you got to play the game
Now the greatest break came on the day
We were standing in the rain
And the hardest hurt I've ever know
Was when you tried to ease my pain
And the longest day in history
Waiting till my crying's done
And the saddest song I ever heard
Was the one we finally sung

I can think of younger days
When living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do?
I could never see tomorrow
But I was never told about the sorrow

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again

I can still feel the breeze
That rustles through the trees
And misty memories do days gone by
We could never see tomorrow
No one said a word about the sorrow
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again

I had a taste of bitter life
At sweet sixteen
I was growing up too fast
If you know what I mean
Met an older man
Who taught me his own way to live
And all I had to do to keep him
Was to give and give

CHORUS:
The carousel man
Kept me going around and round
Carousel man always know
That I'd stay around
The carousel man
Wouldn't let me off his merry-go-round

I followed him around in traveling shows
Along the main county lines
Watching him drinking his mind away
Not ever knowing my name at time
Each night when the show closed down
He used to tell me of his dreams
He was wearing new French suits
While I mended my torn jeans

Chorus

Then one night in Santa Fe
The horses stop going around
There he was my poor rich man
Lying on the Mexico ground
All the sad music of his life
Is still spinning in my mind
The carousel starts up again
And I found my place in life

Chorus x 2

Won'tcha let me rock and roll you baby
I haven't seen you in a long, long time
I haven't fooled around with any candles lately
Just thought you might have some music in mind

CHORUS:
Ah I just want to serenade you
Maybe we could even live a verse or two
And I could finish this ole love song
So I could start singing it to you
I could start singing it to you
If I could finish this ole love song
And I could start singing it to you

Won't you come and boogie-woogie with me baby
It's been a while since I held you close to me
I haven't met many boys like you baby
Knew I would find you eventually

Chorus

Melody your my oldest friend i can talk to you what a day it's been out there
in the mad men crush another days gone down in a dusk
Melody listen for the phone while i change my clothes he knows by now i'm home
three days waiting took it's toll this trying to stop it's crying is getting old
Melody remember long summer days playing grown ups in the city mamma said sleep
sleep sleepy heads tucked in bed with yor favourite dolly oh
melody with you ragetty charms i have looked for love in a strangers arms
scared of going home of what they'll say you know mammas eyes could always look
right through daddy won't be so proud of me no they won't understand like you
melody

The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
Like the roads before
And it always leads me here
Leads me to your door

The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Have left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Ah let me know the way
Cause many times I have been alone
And many time I've cried
And any way you never know
What many times I tried
Still they lead me back

CHORUS:
To that long winding road
You left me standing here dear
A long, long time ago
Don't leave me standing here
Take me to your door

Chorus

Read your note this mornin'.'bye-bye girl', that's all it said.Glad I found it first,Before the kids got out of bed.
Baked a tray of muffins.Hung some wet-wash out to dry.By the time the kids got up,I could look them in the eye.
You've gone away, you've gone away.How will I get though the day? This god-forsaken day.
Drank some bitter coffee.Read your note ten times or more.When I'd washed the dishes twice,I got down and scrubbed the floor.
Empty chair at supper.Everybodys actin' strange.Food just gettin' cold.Kids real quiet for a change.

You've gone away, you've gone away.How will I get through the day? This god-forsaken day.
Rain was fallin' hardAs I walked slowly up the stairs.Pushed my tears back downAs I stood listenin'To their prayers.
There's your empty pillow.Your side's flat right to the wall.Now's the time for private cryin'.Now it hurts meMost of all.
You've gone away.I turn off the light.How will I get through the night? This god-forsaken night.This long and lonesome, god-forsaken night.

CHASTITY'S SUN (ORIGINALLY TITLED "RUBY JEAN AND BILLIE LEE")
WRITERS JAMES SEALS, DASH CROFTS

Chastity Sun, you are the one
That can make me smile
When I'm feeling sad
You come close to me
And my heart goes running free
You are the proof God lives
You are his gift to me
Sweet baby girl
You make my world
Bright and shinning new
When I look at you
In your eyes I see
The world that God meant to be
There's no hate or angry
Just love for humanity
We'll have children of the kingdom
They won't be torn by war, torn by hate
Nor will they hesitate to love
Chastity Sun, we are as one
You have come from me
You're the fruit, I'm the tree
I am trying so
But I've got so far to go
I've got so much to teach you
And so much myself to know
Sweet baby one
You bring the sun in a simple way
With the things you say
In my smile or tears
Such innocents in your heart
You make up God's great circle
Cause I am the end and you're the start
We'll have children of the kingdom
They won't be torn by war
Nor will they kill or hate
Or hesitate to love
