"Small Dark Movie"

how are things going in the small dark movie of your life late at night you call your girlfriend in the morning you call your wife in the morning you go for coffee leave town by the underpass leave whatever happened last night cigarette in a champagne glass the road used to go someplace you never been before now it's just a race track and the only prize is more the only off-ramp is up ahead and just where ain't too clear and change is a semi with smoking wheels filling the rear view mirror you could really use a rain coat and a pair of cool shoes you could really use some idea of what you're gonna do but the road keeps coming at you and you find no place to rest and in these small dark movies no-one knows what's best so how are things going in the small dark movie of your life late at night you call your girlfriend in the morning you call your wife in the morning you go for coffee leave town by the underpass leave whatever happened last night cigarette in the champagne glass how are things going how are things going how are things going Em

"Think about You"

Gonna turn off the radio, control nothing remotely Ain't gonna rent me no video, disconnect the telephone I gotta be all alone, and just think about you I can smell your warm neck, I can hear your low laugh I see the way you come to me, feel the muscle in your strong back I get the good blues when I think about you I'm a-working on a' up-link, I'm sending out a signal Hope you can pick it up on your sweet receiver Hope you can feel me too when I think about you and I'm gonna think a long time gonna think a long time and I'm gonna think a long time think a long time When I build my little cabin with a sky window above the bed So I can sleep with Orion in the middle of the winter Maybe you will visit me, we can cook a slow soup Gonna ease down easy deeper in the dream I'm dreamin' It's like your arms are around me, like sinking in a hot bath even when I'm sleeping, I'm gonna think about you Gonna turn off the radio, control nothing remotely Ain't gonna rent me no video, disconnect the telephone I gotta be all alone, and just think about you Am | Am

"Two Little Feet"

two little feet to get me 'cross the mountain two little feet to carry me away into the woods two little feet, big mountain, and a cloud comin' down cloud comin' down cloud comin' down I hear the voice of the ancient ones chanting magic words from a different time well there is no time there is only this rain there is no time, that's why I missed my plane John Muir walked away into the mountains in his old overcoat a crust of bread in his pocket we have no knowledge and so we have stuff and stuff with no knowledge is never enough to get you there it just won't get you there a culture exploded into knickknacks and memories Eagle and Bear trinkets I don't think it's good old man what am I trying to say it's a it's a messed up world but I love it anyway two little feet to get me 'cross the city my little hand to knock upon your door my little thing for your little thing and a big love to lift us up once more to the mountain lift us up tumble us like scree let us holler out our freedom like a like a wolf across a valley like a kid lost in a game no time no name gonna miss that plane again and I'm gonna stay here with you baby and kiss you to a good dream I'm goin' kiss you kiss you like you like it I got two little feet to get me across the mountain two little feet to carry me away into the woods two little feet big mountain and a cloud comin' down cloud comin' down cloud comin' down D | Fm | G | A

"Hey, Baby, Hey"

the sea was rollin' in slate gray I looked at you and I looked away I was cryin' because I was happy I didn't want you to see I was afraid of such mystery and afraid of losing so afraid of losing later on on a balcony we had a good talk and we felt free I was comin' to you from far away light was dim but you showed me the way in your arms all I could say was hey baby hey baby hey baby hey my heart was torn I'd made up my mind I'd keep to myself and just be kind and need nothing just need nothing love my folks my kids my friends and make it on through to the end no more suffering over loving you get to me like old time religion did in my heart when I was a kid you're sweet gospel music to my ears you know how to ease all my fears and from my heart to yours all I can say is hey baby hey baby hey baby hey and as we go on through the deal I I know that we won't always feel real wonderful life ain't like that but I want to stay right by your side check out the view enjoy the ride together with all our loved ones I want to plant a little garden with you now take care of a piece of the earth somehow and tend it when we're old and gray and try to straighten up and say, well, I'm so glad to see you today hey baby hey baby hey baby hey

"China"

baby still looks like you're on your way to china china, chi-nay, far away baby said how long you gonna stay in china china, chi-nay, far away I said I'll be back as soon as I can from china china, chi-nay, far away I said babe I hope you understand about china china, chi-nay, far away I'm walkin' with my baby but man I'm in china china, chi-nay, far away I'm talkin' with my baby but mmm I'm in china china, chi-nay, far away I come in on the run from china china, chi-nay, far away I tried to hug my baby some, she's in china china, chi-nay, far away O maybe somewhere down the line O china china, chi-nay, far away we'll get back the same time from china china, chi-nay, far away baby said looks like you're on your way to china china, chi-nay, far away baby said how long you gonna stay in china china, chi-nay, far away

"Where Is Maria?"

there's a sweated-through shirt thrown over a chair an old photo of Anna Magnani in her underwear there's an old dog barking at a brand new moon and a sign in every window sayin' "Be Back Soon" but where is maria? there's a young fellow rockin' in a thump thump car and he's smug as a commentator on NPR and our foolish government tries to save face while the whole world struggles to become one bland place but where is maria? there's a millionaire singing about nothing at all but he looks pretty good and he's knocking 'em dead down at the mall there's a woman weary of the look in men's eyes when they don't look she just turns away and sighs but where is maria? there's a dirty rain falling like the tears of shame she's the only one I know who'd dance with me in such a rain there's a guru snoozin' in a limousine and a whole industry pumping blood into recycled scenes there'll be one corporation selling one little box it'll do what you want and tell you what you want and cost whatever you got but where is maria? there's a pile of letters from lovers friends if your dream came true would you still want it then a series of images on an empty screen no conclusions just a kiss from Mr. In-Between but where is maria? there's a wheel of symbols and a wheel of spokes let's face it, friends, these are station wagons and we're our folks the cafe's open the hotel's shut down but lord these bad habits sure do stick around but where is maria? behind the camera I saw her smile I'd like to go back to that room and stay there for a while there's a stranger's body with an old friend's face there's a wild parade and a slow fade and a touch of grace can I visit your house? can I sleep in your bed? ah maria, if I rub your back will you rub my head? but where is maria?

"If You Don't Get It at Home"

[chorus:] if you don't get it at home you're going to go looking if you don't get it at home you're going to go looking if you don't get it at home the need for love won't leave you alone if you don't get it at home you're going to go looking children they don't need a lot of stuff children sure do need a lot of love they need love to give them pride to make them feel real good inside if they don't get it at home they're going to go looking 'cause... [repeat chorus] lovers got to feel it real and strong one kiss can mean more than making it all night long with no kiss and no embrace you get to feeling out of place if you don't get it at home you'll go looking 'cause... [repeat chorus] it ain't down at the bottom of a jug and it ain't in the broke-down palace of drugs it's right there in our hearts that's where we gotta start if we don't get it at home we'll go looking as the branch is bent so shall it grow that might be true but even so a strong wind of real love will straighten us right back up and we might find a place our heart is welcome but... [repeat chorus]

"You Can Always Come to Me"

someday maybe, baby, you might be feelin' low and down hold up your hands, count to three I will meet you, I will meet you downtown you can always, you can always come to me I won't be busy, but even if I am, I'll kiss your tears away, like you have done for me I'll try to help you, try to help you out of any jam you can always, you can always come to me We'll take a little walk, somewhere by the trees and water and have a talk about how good things can be even if you're far away, honey just close your eyes you can always, you can always come to me I'll be with you walking through an ancient land even when it's hard, we're exactly where we're supposed to be I want you, I want you to understand you can always, you can always come to me you can always, you can always come to me

"Someday When We're Both Alone"

someday when we're both alone we'll get together someday when we're both alone we'll find out if our dreams are all that they seem find out if our place is a home a long long time I been, ah, lookin' at you long time you been lookin' at me most times it's just, "hey, how ya doin'?" sometimes I get so weak in my knees someday when we're both alone ... rain don't always fall when we want it you know the sun don't always shine I ain't sure what I read in your eyes when they look so deep into mine someday might of come, someday might of gone someday may never be the one I wonder if you wonder as the years go along I said I wonder someday when we're both alone ...

"Not High"

I'm not high, not too lowly I try to fly but I beat my wings too slowly I just got back from a foreign land sit in my kitchen beat pots and pans only you can fill my hands the right way I'm not high I'm not high, not too lowly I try to get by on wine and poetry music from the good places go light and don't leave a trace it's on to the next place so quickly goodbye I'm not high, but I will be if you stop by, ah, you kill me a two-day hug, a three-day kiss a loving stretch of common bliss I did not know it could be like this but I do now I'm not high, no no no I'm not I'm not high, not too lowly the days go by just like they know me they know just how to get my goat they kiss me hard and then grab me by the throat then they sail away in a little boat, westerly goodbye

"Further In"

further in, grandmother; grandfather, hold my hand as I go on through this life and try to understand the beauty of your faces I will never see again but I know you're with me now leading me further in further in, you friends of mine, they led me further in I know I've hurt you many times and I've helped you and I will again you to me and me to you, and us to all of them the circle that will ever grow as we go further in further in, O my love, take me further in past the place where love hides its face and down to where we begin so deep in this mystery, my tears on yours depend and they like some wild river flow as we go further in

"If I Ever Do See You Again"

we walk through the park down by the river I kissed you underneath the linden tree your eyes said you would love me forever your mouth said "let's go home now, hurry please" sometimes I still see your little child that we never had running to you he is blond and firm of limb, but when I call out to him he smiles and disappears into the blue I can taste your softly urgent kisses hear your voice say "will you do everything?" smell the rain that falls on pines and birches and see the way your summer dress would cling twenty years a couple busted phone calls letters that I had nowhere to send I'd have to laugh I'd have to cry, looking deep into your eyes if I ever do see you again I'd have to laugh I'd have to cry, looking deep into your eyes if I ever do see you again Transcribed by Joe Cleveland.
