Альбом Linda Ronstadt

Love is a rose, but you'd better not pick it,
Only grows when it's on the vine.
Handful of thorns and you know you've missed it.
Lose your love when you say the word mine.

I wanna see what's never been seen.
I wanna live that age old dream.
C'mon boy, let's go together.
Let's take the best, right now.
Take the best right now.

Love is a rose, but you'd better not pick it,
Only grows when it's on the vine.
Handful of thorns and you know you've missed it.
Lose your love when you say the word mine.

I wanna go to an old hoe-down
Long ago in the western town.
Pick me up cause my feet are draggin
Gimme a lift and I'll paint your wagon.

Love is a rose, but you'd better not pick it,
Only grows when it's on the vine.
Handful of thorns and you know you've missed it.
Lose your love when you say the word mine.

Love is a rose, but you'd better not pick it,
Only grows when it's on the vine.
Handful of thorns and you know you've missed it.
Lose your love when you say the word mine.

Mine.

Love is a rose,
Love is a rose,
Love is a rose,
Love is a rose.

Love is a rose,
Love is a rose,
Love is a rose,
Love is a rose,
Love is a rose,
Love is a rose,
Love is a rose.

Well I am just a vagabond
A drifter on the run
And eloquent profanity
It rolls right off my tongue

And I have dined in palaces
Drunk wine with kings and queens
And darling on darling
You're the best thing I ever seen

Won't you roll me easy
So slow and easy
Take my independence
With no apprehension no tension
Walk in, talk in paradise
Sweet paradise

Well I been around this country
From Denver to the oceans
And I never met girls that could sing so sweet
Like the angels that live in Houston
Singing roll me easy
So slow and easy
Play your concertina be a temptress
Darling I'm defenseless

Sing in harmony, in unison
Sweet harmony
Gotta hoist the flag and I'll beat your drum

Sing in harmony, in unison
Sweet harmony
Gotta hoist the flag and I'll beat your drum

Woah roll me easy
So slow and easy
Take my independence
With no apprehension no tension
Walk in, talk in paradise
Sweet paradise

People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue

So take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Oh I need you, need you

Since you left me if you see me with another guy
Looking like I'm having fun
Although he might be cute he's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one

So take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Outside I'm masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
I'm just a clown since you put me down
My smile is my make-up I wear since my break-up with you

Baby take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Woah baby take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

You think the love you never had might save you
But true love takes a little time
You can touch it with your fingers
And try to believe your eyes
Is it love or lies

So you're keeping your distance
A little bit of room around you
But if he doesn't return your call on time
Oh my my
You just act like a fool on a holiday
There's nothing that you wouldn't try
You must be a prisoner in disguise

Well this night life is my life
But there's no one else in it
And sometimes those lonesome breezes blow
But it's no show so you might as well go
If you think you could win it
Without losing and letting it show

The city is no place to hide in
Everybody knows your number
And you know that you could never be alone if you tried
You just run like a man with no reason to run
And no place to ever arrive

You must be a prisoner
Look just like a prisoner
Well you must be a prisoner in disguise

Whenever I'm with him
Something inside
Starts to burning
And I'm filled with desire

Could it be a devil in me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be

It's like a heat wave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from crying
It's tearing me apart

Whenever he calls my name
Soft, low, sweet and plain
I feel, yeah, yeah
Well, I feel that burning flame

Has high blood pressure got a hold on me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be

It's like a heat wave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from crying
It's tearing me apart

Sometimes I stare into space
Tears all over my face
I can't explain it, don't understand it
I hadn't ever felt like this before

Now that funny feeling has me amazed
I don't know what to do, my head's in a haze

It's like a heat wave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from crying
It's tearing me apart

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah oh oh (heat wave)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh (heat wave)

(Don't pass up this chance)
(This time it's true romance)
(Heat wave)
(Heat wave)
(Heat wave)
Ooh (heat wave)

Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along white cliffs of Dover

Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My baby left me and he didn't say why
Well I guess I'll have to try

Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin
I'm playing for time
There have been times I find myself thinking of committing
Some dreadful crime

I've got many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along white cliffs of Dover

One day a mother went to a prison
To see an erring but precious son
She told the warden how much she loved him
It did not matter what he had done

She did not bring to him a parole or pardon
She brought no silver, no pomp or style
It was a halo bright sent down from heaven's light
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile

She left a smile you can remember
She's gone to heaven from heartaches free
Those walls around you could never change her
You were her baby and e'er will be

She did not bring to him a parole or pardon
She brought no silver, no pomp or style
It was a halo bright sent down from heaven's light
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile

She did not bring to him a parole or pardon
She brought no silver, no pomp or style
It was a halo bright sent down from heaven's light
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile

You tell me that I'm falling down
A drifter with no role
You tell me that I need a friend
To help me take control

Well let it be I'm not alone
I'm only lonely see
And you can't tell me where to go
Or what or who to be

I am exactly what I am
And not the way you'd like to see me be
I look outside long as I can
Then I close my eyes and watch my world unfold before me

I may not lead the simple life
I've no love of my own
If no one gives me all his heart
I'll manage with a loan

I'm very used to feeling sad
It doesn't make me cry
And yes I do know how to love
And what you say's a lie

I am exactly what I am
And not the way you'd like to see me be
I look outside long as I can
Then I close my eyes and watch my world unfold before me

You tell me that I'm falling down
A drifter with no role
You tell me that I need a friend
To help me take control

Well let it be I'm not alone
I'm only lonely see
And you can't tell me where to go
Or what or who to be

I am exactly what I am
And not the way you'd like to see me be
I look outside long as I can
Then I close my eyes and watch my world unfold before me

If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go
But I know
I'll think of you each step of the way
And I will always love you
Oh, will always love you

Bittersweet memories
That's all I am taking with me
Goodbye
Please don't cry
We both know I'm not what you need
And I will always love you
Oh, will always love you

And I will always love you
Oh, will always love you
I will always love you

Silver Blue
Said goodbye to no one
Thought it through
And left me standing in the road

If you were ever lonely
It never showed
But someday baby you'll be here
And I'll be going home without you
With blood on both my hands
'Cause I took you through
And now we're both too weak to stand

You think you're gonna live forever
And somehow find me there
But you'll be wearing golden wings
And fall right through the air

Loving you
Well I'm a fool for trying
'Cause I get so blue
That I don't know when I'm crying
If you are ever lonely
And you let me know
I'll come running right on time
and rock you gently home

Silver Blue
