Eleanor Rigby Lennon/McCartney Album: Always Never the Same 1998 Ah, look at all the lonely people Ah, look at all the lonely people Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been Lives in a dream Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door Who is it for? All the lonely people Where do they all come from ? All the lonely people Where do they all belong ? Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear No one comes near. Look at him working. Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there What does he care? All the lonely people Where do they all come from? All the lonely people Where do they all belong? Ah, look at all the lonely people Ah, look at all the lonely people Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name Nobody came Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave No one was saved All the lonely people Where do they all come from? All the lonely people Where do they all belong? Dust In The Wind Kerry Livgren Album: Always Never the Same 1998 Well I close my eyes, Only for a moment And the moment's gone. All my dreams Pass before my eyes of curiosity. Dust in the wind: All we are is dust in the wind. Same old song, Just a drop of water In an endless sea. All we do Crumbles to the ground, Though we refuse to see. (Ah-ah-ah)Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind, Oh.. (Instrumental Break) Now, don't hang on; Nothing lasts forever But the earth and sky; It slips away, And all your money Won't another minute buy. Dust in the wind: All we are is dust in the wind. Dust in the wind: Everything is dust in the wind. (Everything is dust in the wind. In the wind....)

Song For America Livgren Album: Always Never the Same 1998 Virgin land of forest green, dark and stormy plains, here all life abounds Sunlit valley, mountain fields, unseen in the rain, here all life abounds No man rules this land, no human hand has soiled this paradise Waiting patiently, so much to see, so rich in Earth's delights Painted desert, sequined sky, stars that fill the night, here all life abounds Rivers flowing to the sea, sunshine pure and bright, here all life abounds No man rules this land, no human hand has soiled this paradise Waiting patiently, so much to see, so rich in Earth's delights So the maiden lies in waiting, for the sails to reach the shore Land of beauty and abundance, innocent, you opened wide your door Wanderers found the waiting treasure, full of gifts beyond their measure Milk and honey for our pleasure..... Across the sea there came a multitude, sailing ships upon the wave Filled with visions of Utopia, and the freedom that they crave Ravage, plunder, see no wonder, rape and kill and tear asunder Chop the forest, plow it under..... Highways scar the mountainsides, buildings to the sky, people all around Houses stand in endless rows, sea to shining sea, people all around So we rule this land, and here we stand upon our paradise, Dreaming of a place, our weary race is ready to arise In Your Eyes Walsh Album: Always Never the Same 1998 Seal no fate and hold no key When all goes well spend some time remembering Know by now that times have changed But we feel each day can be deeper deeper It might be raining now But don't be scared you won't drown I'll hold you in my arms when the rivers rise Lay my heart besides your soul Don't let the tears blur the vision in your eyes Once my eyes get used to the dark I look around it's almost like I'm dreaming Shooting stars how they seem so close I feel your body it's moving breathing Miracles Out Of Nowhere Livgren Album: Always Never the Same 1998 On a crystal morning I can see the dewdrops falling Down from a gleaming heaven, I can hear the voices call When you comin' home now, son, the world is not for you Tell me what's your point of view Hey there Mister Madman, what'cha know that I don't know Tell me some crazy stories, let me know who runs this show Glassy-eyed and laughing, he turns and walks away Tell me what made you that way Here I am just waiting for a sign Asking questions, learning all the time It's always here, it's always there It's just love, and miralces out of nowhere Tell me now dear mother, what's it like to be so old Children grown and leavin', seems the world is growin' cold And though your body's ailin' you, Your mind is just like new Tell me where you're goin' to Here I am just waiting for a sign Asking questions, learning all the time It's always here, it's always there It's just love, and miralces out of nowhere It's so simple right before your eyes If you'll look throough this disguise It's always here, it's always there It's just love and miracles out of nowhere I sang this song a hundred, maybe a thousand years ago No one ever listens, I just play and then I go Off into the sunset like the western heroes do Tell me what you're gonna do Here I am, I'm sure to see a sign All my life I knew that it was mine It's always here, it's always there It's just love anad miracles out of nowhere Hold On Livgren Album: Always Never the Same 1998 Look in the mirror and tell me Just what you see What have the years of your life Taught you to be Innocence dyin' in so many ways Things that you dream of are lost Lost in the haze Hold on, baby, hold on 'Cause it's closer than you think And you're standing on the brink Hold on, baby, hold on 'Cause there's something on the way Your tomorrow's not the same as today Don't you recall what you felt When you weren't alone Someone who stood by your side A face you have known Where do you run when it's too much to bear Who do you turn to in need When nobody's there Outside your door He is waiting Waiting for you Sooner or later you know He's got to get through No hesitation and no holding back Let it all go and you'll know You're on the right track Hold on, baby, hold on 'Cause it's closer than you think And you're standing on the brink Hold on, baby, hold on 'Cause there's something on the way Your tomorrow's not the same as today The Sky Is Falling Walsh Album: Always Never the Same 1998 The lottery winner thinks forever Is something she can buy All the pictures on the wall Are hanging high so they won't fall Until her tear stained floor is dry The pool shark's life is stranger than fiction But today's his lucky day He bets it all on a final game But then he chokes ain't that a shame The 8 ball had one last thing to say Just stop the sky from falling Falling down on me Stray cats are creepy calling Hound dog harmony Just stop the sky from falling Dodge the buck shot rain This tree house free for all The sky is falling Who's got a crane Jazz singer padlocks all his memories Long nights have left their mark His lava lamp condition His black light intuition How come tomorrow seams so dark? Cheyenne Anthem Livgren Album: Always Never the Same 1998 From the mountains to the sun, life has only just begun We wed this land and pledge our souls to meet its end, Life has only just begun Here my people roam the earth, in the kingdom of our birth Where the dust of all our horses hides the sun We are mighty on the earth, on the earth You have come to move me, take me from my ancient home, Land of my fathers I can't leave you now We will share it with you, no man owns this earth we're on Now the wheels are rolling, hear the howling winds of war It's my destiny to fight and die Is there no solution, can we find no other way, Lord let me stay Under the endless sky and the earth below Here I was born to live and I will never go, oh no But we cannot endure like the earth and the mountains Life is not ours to keep, for a new sun is rising Soon these days shall pass away, for our freedom we must pay All our words and deeds are carried on the wind, In the ground our bodies lay, here we lay Prelude & Introduction Kansas/Baird Album: Always Never the Same 1998 Instrumental The Wall Livgren, Walsh Album: Always Never the Same 1998 I'm woven in a fantasy, I can't believe the things I see The path that I have chosen now Has led me to a wall And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost It rises now before me, A dark and silent barrier between, All I am, and all that I would ever want be It's just a travesty, Towering, marking off the boundaries my spirit Would erase To pass beyond is what I seek I fear that I may be too weak And those are few who've seen it Through to glimpse the other side, The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride The moment is a masterpiece, The weight of indecision's in the air It's standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that's me It's just a travesty, Towering, blocking out the light and blinding me I want to see Gold and diamonds cast a spell, It's not for me I know it well The riches that I seek Are waiting on the other side There's more that I can measure in the treasure of the love that I can find And though it's always been with me, I must tear down the Wall and let it be All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in harmony Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross There is no loss Need To Know Walsh Album: Always Never the Same 1998 How do I know what you say is real How do I know if that's the way you feel You're the only one who's seen me In the dark hours in the kitchen chair Are you still there do you still care That's all I really need to know Watching the rain come pouring down Washing the stain off this old town They say misery loves company But ain't there something else we can share Are you still there do you still care That's all I really need to know It scares a man When glory days are gone But here I stand I know I'mn not alone I got pictures in my mind And the radio takes me back in time Are you still there you're in my prayer That's all I really need to know Nobody's Home Livgren, Walsh Album: Always Never the Same 1998 Centuries of backward ways, have many left behind us Who can count the good men gone away The fruits of all our labors have left us as we started We've come too far to end it in a day It seems that everything we do is wrong A one way trip to nowhere all along Just look around and tell me what you see Another stupid page of history No one together, No one is touching ground Look to each other, Chaos is all around Same situation, Nothing is really new No one together, No one is me and you Lo the horn of plenty is bursting at the seam The harvest of the world will be our prize We claim to know the secrets, the answers have been found But how can one fool make another wise 'Cause nothing's better than it used to be To live and die is still a mystery We take away and we give nothing back We just consume it all and still we lack No one together, No one is touching ground Look to each other, Chaos is all around Same situation, Nothing is really new No one together, No one is me and you Each day passed by so quickly now You can feel it drawing much closer now The signs are in the faces of the people in the street The signs are in the sound I hear The voices filled with hate and fear You can feel it drawing near you now The multitudes are searching, and wandering in vain For what they seek cannot be found in men The truth that lies before us now is plain for all to see To grow without is not to grow within For in the promise is a victory To see the way that everything should be To feel the joy that we were meant to know We should have realized so long ago We're all together, Harmony will abound' Look at each other, All that was lost is found New situation if our direction's true We're all together, Everyone is me and you |
