Seasons
Alone now I walk the cold empty sidewalks
The leaves hanging yellow on the trees
All around the signs of summer love are dying
Autumn breeze playing mournful melodies
Chorus:
Seasons come, season go
And I know love will come around
Someday when my heart is free
Love will come around again to me
Alone now I walk the sands by the ocean
White doves sailing lonely on the sea
Summer’s gone and the last of autumn’s dying
Winter winds playing somber symphonies
Chorus
Like the seasons of the year and the cycles of the moon
Like the turning of the earth endlessly
Like the rhythms of the wind in the circle of my mind
Love will come around again to me
Chorus
Chorus
T
he Hollywood Waltz
Springtime, and the acacias are blooming
Southern California will see one more day
Dreamland, and bus’ness is booming,
The birds are a singing as I drift away
She looks another year older,
From too many lovers who used her and ran
But some nights, oh, she looks like an angel
And she’s always willing to hold you again
So give her this dance, she can’t be forsaken
Learn how to love her with all of her faults
She gave more than she’s taken,
And I’ll go down doing the Hollywood waltz
Springtime and the lady is grieving
The lovers just stand there with nothing to say
They got what they wanted, they’re packing and leaving
To look for another to love the same way
So give her this dance, she can’t be forsaken
Learn how to love her with all of her faults
She gave more than she’s taken
And I’ll go down doing the Hollywood waltz
The Hollywood waltz
I Will
Who knows how long I've loved you
You know I love you still
Will I wait a lonely lifetime
If you want me to-
For if I ever saw you
I didn't catch your name
But it never really mattered
I will always feel the same.
Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart.
And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you me to
Oh, you know I will
I will.
Ramblin’ Fever
My hat don't hang on the same nail too long.
My ears can't stand to hear the same old song.
An' I don't leave the highway long enough,
To bog down in the mud.
'Cos I've got ramblin' fever in my blood.
I caught this ramblin' fever long ago,
When I first heard a lonesome whistle blow.
If someone said I ever gave a damn,
They were surely told you wrong.
I've had ramblin' fever all along.
Chorus:
Ramblin' fever,
The kind that can't be measured by degrees.
Ramblin' fever,
There ain't no kind of cure for my disease.
There's times I'd like to bed down on a sofa,
And let some pretty lady rub my back.
And spend the early morning drinking coffee,
Talkin' about when I'll be coming back.
But I don't let no woman tie me down,
And I never get too old to get around.
Wanna die along the highway and rot away,
Like some old high-
Rest this ramblin' fever in the soul.
Chorus
Chorus
Age
I’ve been up and down and around and round and back again
I’ve been so many places can’t remember where or when
My only boss was the clock on the wall and my only friend
Never really was a friend at all
Chorus:
I’ve traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less
Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time
I’ve turned inside out and around about and back and then
Found myself right back where I started again
Once I had myself a million, now I’ve only got a dime
The difference don’t seem quite as bad today
With a nickel or a million, I was searching all the time
For something that I never lost or left behind
Chorus
Now I’m in my second circle and I’m headin’ for the top
I’ve learned a lot of things along the way
I’ll be careful while I’m climbin’ ‘cause it hurts a lot to drop
When your down nobody gives a damn anyway
Chorus
Missing You This Morning
Pieces of morning breaking over my bed
Showers of sunlight raining over my head
It was so good loving you last night
But I’m missing you this morning so bad
Shadows of evening hiding our guilty love
But needing each other’s all that we’re guilty of
And it was so good loving you last night
But I’m missing you this morning so bad
Someday I want to wake up with you in my arms
And love you by morning’s first light
Know how it feels to fall asleep in your arms
Instead of letting you get up and leave every night
Pieces of morning breaking over my bed
Showers of sunlight raining over my head
It was so good loving you last night
But I’m missing you this morning so bad
It was so good loving you last night
Missing you this morning,
This cold lonely morning
Missing you this morning so bad
The Last Farewell
There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbour
Tomorrow for old England (Scotland) she sails
Far away from your land of endless sunshine
To my land full of rainy skies and gales
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell
Chorus:
For you are beautiful
And I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
For you are beautiful
And I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
I heard there's a wicked war a blazin’
The taste of war I know so very well
Even now I see the foreign flag a raisin’
Their guns on fire as we sail into hell
I have no fear of death; it brings no sorrow
But how bitter will be this last farewell
Chorus
Though death and darkness gather all around me
And my ship be torn apart upon the seas
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
In the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
And should I return safe home again to England (Scotland)
I shall watch the English (Scottish) mist roll through the dell (glen)
Chorus
Just Let Me Love You
Let me be your gladibi
To take away your sadibi
Let me be your do or die
Just let me love you
Be the one in whom you confide
Be your rock always on your side
Always there to turn the tide
Just let me love you
Forget about yesterday
And I’ll be your tomorrow
I will try in all the ways
To love away your sorrow
I’ll be your light your heart your soul
All there is to have and hold
The sweetest story ever told
Just let me love you.
Forget about yesterday
And I’ll be your tomorrow
I will try in all the ways
To love away your sorrow
I’ll be your light your heart your soul
All there is to have and hold
The sweetest story ever told
Just let me love you.
Sea Of Heartbreak
The lights in the harbor
Don't shine for me
I'm like a lost ship
Adrift on the sea 
Chorus:
Sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine I wish you were mine
Again my dear
I am on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak
How did I lose you
Oh where did I fail
Why did you leave me
Always to sail
Chorus
Oh what I'd give
To sail back to shore
Back to your arms once more
Come to my rescue
Come here to me
Take me and keep me
Away from the sea
Chorus
Blue Eyes
Her eyes said I love you any place anytime
I love you I want you I told her with mine
Her lips spoke discretely for her man he was near
But her eyes told a story I wanted to hear
Her eyes spoke the passion of unfulfilled desire
For a man who could understand light that sleepin’ fire
I looked into her searchin’ eyes to say I understood
That I longed to be with her givin’ all I could
Blue eyes, those eyes looked at me
And I wanted to hold her and love her tenderly
What was it in those blue eyes that made me want her so
That drew me to her once again, I guess I’ll never know
As I loved her I watched the language of her eyes
The unspoken words of rapture that tempt and tantalize
She ravished all my senses in a tender lovin’ way
The power of her substance I still recall today
Blue eyes, those eyes looked at me
I wanted to hold her and love her tenderly
When she finally left me those blue eyes were sad
No tears of regret for the time we had
Blue eyes, those eyes looked at me
I wanted to hold her and love her tenderly
Unexpected lovers I can still recall the time
That eloquent seduction made poor lonely blue eyes shine
Long Black Veil
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me
The judge said son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else, you won't have to die
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife
Chorus
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
The scaffold was high and eternity near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil, she cries o’er my bones
Chorus
