Pearls and swine bereft of me Long and weary my road has been I was lost in the cities, alone in the hills No sorrow or pity for leaving, I feel I am not your rolling wheels I am the highway I am not your carpet ride I am the sky Friends and liars don't wait for me 'Cause I'll get on all by myself I put millions of miles under my heels And still too close to you, I feel I am not your rolling wheels I am the highway I am not your carpet ride I am the sky I am not your blowing wind I am the lightning I am not your autumn moon I am the night I am the night I am not your rolling wheels I am the highway I am not your carpet ride I am the sky I am not your blowing wind I am the lightning And I am not your autumn moon I am the night I am the night Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah

I've been around for you Been up and down for you But I just can't get any relief I've swallowed my pride for you Lived and lied for you But you still make me feel like a thief You got me stealin' your love away You never give it Peelin' the years away And we can't relive it Oh, I make you laugh And you make me cry I believe it's time for me to fly You said we'd work it out You said we had no doubt That deep down we were really in love Oh, but I'm tired of holdin' on To a feelin' I know is gone I do believe I've had enough I've had enough of the falseness Of a worn out relation Enough of the jealousy And the intoleration Oh, I make you laugh And you make me cry I believe it's time for me to fly Time for me to fly Oh, I've got to set myself free (Time for me to fly) And fly And that's just how it's got to be I know it hurts to say goodbye But it's time for me to fly Time for me to fly Time for me to fly Oh, I've got to set myself free (Time for me to fly) And fly And that's just how it's got to be I know it hurts to say goodbye But it's time for me to fly Oh yeah Time for me to fly Oh yeah Oh it’s time for me to fly It's time for me to fly It's time for me to fly It's time

On the other side of this love I will be braver Won’t go looking for a savior I’ll look for a friend On the other side of this love I’ll take the chances I’m given Won’t stay locked in a prison On fear and regret I will run like a river I will fly like a dove On the other side of this love I will be stronger I’ll hold on to the hunger Let go of the ache On the other side of this love I won’t be a stranger Frozen in anger I will let the ice break I will run like a river I will fly like a dove On the other side of this love Run like a river I’m gonna fly like a dove On the other side of this love On the other side of this love

Evangeline 02:47
She stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi Alone in the pale moonlight Waitin' for a man, a riverboat gambler Says he’ll return home tonight They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi Lovin' the whole night through ’Til the riverboat gambler went off to make a killin' And bring it on back to you Evangeline, Evangeline Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen That pulled her man away Now Bayou Sam from Southern Louisian' Got gamblin' in his veins Evangeline from the maritime Is slowly goin' insane ‘Cause high on the top of a Hickory Hill She stands in the lightning and thunder Down on that river the boat was a’sinkin' She watched that Queen go under Evangeline, Evangeline Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen That pulled her man away Evangeline, oh Evangeline Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen That pulled her man away

Well you walk right in and take me by the heart Next thing I know, you’re tearin’ me apart What did you have in mind Well, it seems so tight ’till it all unwinds You know we’re bad for each other But we have a good time Bad for each other, no good together We’re the talk of the town We’re not having a party here We’re just throwin’ the furniture ‘round We can fight, but at the end of the night We really like the new design You know we’re bad for each other But we always have a real good time Well all my neighbors want to give you what for Every time you come around Breaking down my front door Good love is hard to find Oh I’m gettin’ the picture but I can’t read the signs You know we’re bad for each other But we have a good time Bad for each other, no good together We’re the talk of the town We’re not having a party here We’re just throwin’ the furniture ‘round We can fight, but at the end of the night We really like the new design You know we’re bad for each other But we always have a real good time Well your bag’s in the hall But I know you’re not packed It’s one step forward And two steps back Enemies by design If we can’t be lovers, we’ll be partners in crime You know we’re bad for each other But we have a good time Bad for each other, no good together We’re the talk of the town We’re not having a party here We’re just throwin’ the furniture ‘round We can fight, but at the end of the night We really like the new design You know we’re bad for each other But we always have a real good time Bad for each other No good together, baby Bad for each other If we can’t be lovers, we’ll be partners in crime You know we’re bad for each other

It is the evening of the day I sit and watch the children play Smiling faces I can see But not for me I sit and watch As tears go by My riches can't buy everything I want to hear the children sing All I hear is the sound Of rain falling on the ground I sit and watch As tears go by It is the evening of the day I sit and watch the children play Doing things I used to do They think are new I sit and watch As tears go by

You said you wanted to go out west But you said nothing about someone else You just wanted to reinvent yourself Far away from these midwest checkerboard fields You say the ocean shines like a diamond And there’s sunlight everywhere But I know what keeps you there It’s the sea in her eyes, the sun in her hair I got a T-shirt from California It says Sunset Boulevard I got a note that you wrote On the back of an old postcard But she’s got your heart, she’s got your heart You talk and talk about the view from the canyon Or the drive up to Malibu You never talk about me and you Guess you’ve got a new life, got a new attitude I got a T-shirt from California It says Sunset Boulevard I got a note that you wrote On the back of an old postcard But she’s got your heart, she’s got your heart I can walk down Ocean Avenue And stand out on the pier Well it seems so real, but it’s just another souvenir You said you might be needing some of your stuff So I took the liberty of piling it up With a couple of extra things I just got packed That she may as well have, ‘cause I’m sending them back I got a T-shirt from California It says Sunset Boulevard I got a note that you wrote On the back of an old postcard I got a T-shirt from California It says Sunset Boulevard I got a note that you wrote On the back of an old postcard But she’s got your heart, she’s got your heart She’s got your heart, she’s got your heart You said you wanted to go out west But you said nothing about someone else

Les cœurs brisés, les amours fabriqués Tu apprends seulement le jeu Mais quand tu l’aimes mais il ne t’aime pas Tu apprends seulement le jeu Quand il dit que tu es l’amour de sa vie Et puis, tu réalise qu’il t’a menti Chagrin et solitude s’emparent de toi Maintenant tu apprends le jeu Quand il dit que tu es l’amour de sa vie Et puis tu réalise, qu’il t’a menti Chagrin et solitude s’emparent de toi Maintenant tu apprends le jeu Maintenant tu apprends le jeu Les coeurs brisés, les amours fabriqués Tu apprends seulement le jeu

2000 Miles 03:44
He's gone 2000 miles It's very far The snow is falling down Gets colder day by day I miss you The children will sing He'll be back at Christmastime In these frozen and silent nights (Frozen and silent nights) Sometimes in a dream You appear Outside under the purple sky (Under the purple sky) Diamonds in the snow Sparkle Our hearts were singing It felt like Christmastime 2000 miles Is very far through the snow I'll think of you Wherever you go He's gone 2000 miles It's very far The snow is falling down Gets colder day by day I miss you I can hear people singing It must be Christmastime I hear people singing It must be Christmastime

Everybody wants the feeling Everybody needs some healing Maybe we can make it real With love, love, love Maybe on a midnight clear Something good could start right here Maybe this will be the year For peace on Earth There’s a string of colored lights On the boulevard tonight Street corner Santas everywhere I thought about a long lost friend And how we never made amends ‘Tis the season now begins and I swear If I could change it all I would make that call ‘Cause everybody wants the feeling Everybody needs some healing Maybe we can make it real With love, love, love Maybe on a midnight clear Something good could start right here Maybe this will be the year For peace on Earth Peace on Earth Love, love, love, love We set the table, we say grace We just ignore that empty place We let the frost hang in the air What if one of us spoke first To melt the anger and the hurt To break the silence with a word this year ‘Cause everybody wants the feeling Everybody needs some healing Maybe we can make it real With love, love, love Maybe on a midnight clear Something good could start right here Don’t wait another year For peace on Earth Peace on Earth Love, love If one voice can stop a war What are we waiting for ‘Cause everybody wants the feeling Everybody needs some healing Maybe we can make it real With love, love, love Maybe on a midnight clear Something good could start right here Don’t wait another year For peace on Earth Peace on Earth (Peace on Earth) (Love, love, love) Love, love, love (Peace on Earth) Peace on Earth (Love, love, love) Love, love, love (Peace on Earth) (Love, love, love) Peace on Earth
