Whenever you're lonely I'll be there

Say you need me only I'll be there

Because I love you I need you so

I'll be there

Whenever you're lied to I'll be there

Need someone to cry to I'll be there

Because I love you I need you so

I'll be there

There if you want my loving

There if you want someone to care

Whenever you're lonely I'll be there

Say you need me only I'll be there

Because I love you I need you so

I'll be there

Because I love you I need you so

I'll be there

If you want me all you have to do is call me yeah

Just call my name I'll be there

Whenever you want me I'll be there

Whenever you need me I'll be there

Because I love you I need you so

I'll be there

Candy days searching nights

I'm seeing for the first time in my life

Willows waiting sleep never won

Candy days fallin’ one by one

For the prophets that burn in your eyes

Amber glass playthings that melt in the sky

Winter lady with ribbons of flame

Touch me she said you will not be the same

Lost in her magic I gave my heart

Scored by her darkness and becoming

Part of her playthings that melt in the sky

Falling and falling your truth is her lies

Lurking secrets that wizards keep

Fingers aching I dip my hands into the seas

And loving but the wind says forget

Gone with the darkness she hasn't loved yet

Morning glories all dressed in black

Time for anything moving and the angels cry

You’re crazy to call her your own

Gone with her darkness you're left with her stones

Left behind out of my mind and the stars

Play a lullaby tell me I'm dyin'

Willows  waitin'  for me to fall

Won' t you roll me down mountainside

Take away all of the playthings that melt in the sky,

Dance with the wizards and kiss me goodbye

They shut the tap off at one o' clock in St. Paul

Two in old LA four am is Chicago's last call

Damn long time to play

We’ve been on the road since sunrise

That’s sunrise last July

This is too many miles not enough smiles

Too many stages not enough wages

Picker’s lullaby

We're not independently wealthy

It costs a lot to buy these strings

Don't you understand the emotional trauma

We live every song we sing

The motel's too hot the water's too cold

And the food keeps killin' flies

This is the unrecorded unrewarded

Two lane black top playin' on the flattop

Picker's lullaby

You might wonder why we don't get haircuts

Suits and jobs swap the truck

For some economy cars find us some

Ladies and make us some babies

Quit hangin' around in bars

We still dream of rich and famous

But we live on getting by

Show us you love us, show us

You care easy on the water

Heavy on the Cuervo

Doh di oh doh

Another town another show

This is the picker's lullaby

It's rainin', coming through my windows

it's a long and lonely afternoon

there ain't no TV show to make me smile

no one to call up on the telephone

since you have gone

It's rainin', coming through my windows

I won't get up to close them, I don't care

if things get wet or things get broken, they're

only tokens of a love that's lost somewhere

since you're not here

Let it rain forever, let it wash over me

I need this deep blue weather

'cause I'm as blue as any man can be

It's rainin', coming through my windows

rain will put the fire out and sing me a lullaby

and let me sleep until tomorrow

rain will wash away my sorrow and I'll get by

since you said goodbye, it's rainin'

Let it rain forever, let it wash over me

I need this deep blue weather

'cause I'm as blue as any man can be

It's rainin', coming through my windows

it's a long and lonely afternoon

there ain't no TV show

to make me smile

no one to call up on the telephone

since you have gone

it's rainin'  it's rainin'  it's rainin'

Are you going out again tonight

Are you seeing someone new

A little bit of wrong and a little bit of right

A little bit of something to do

You put your red dress on

The one that drives me crazy

That keeps you up ‘til dawn

The place is getting hazy

You’ve let your heart get lazy

Hold on let the morning be your lifeline

Let the day be filled with sunshine

Let tomorrow be tomorrow

Hold on if you never find the answers

In the diamonds and the dancers hold on

Putting in your time

Putting on your face waiting for the

Phone to ring another date at nine

Another crown that doesn’t

Cost you anything

You ordered rum and lime

It’s primitive and tribal

You won’t give up the time

To question your survival

You’re crazy on arrival

You’re going out tonight

You’re dancing with your heroes

A lonely heart’s an easy mark

When they tell you are fine

They always say goodbye

When you want to say hello

Everywhere a river flows by every door

Flows by everybody’s feet never asks for more

Our window’s sad, no stars around whose message is I said

Somewhere flows the river its course will never end

The sky turns black on my birthday wind howls drags us along

Trees start to smile as I’m passin’ on my way

They know I’ll be tired much too soon

Somewhere in the distance pretty grass grows all around

Sun up comes tomorrow starts to wake the sleeping town

Called peace man with another voice

Screaming, said it’s got to be tonight

Witches lurk behind the smile going back along glory light

No one knows my name it’s just the river flowing

Yeah just the river flowing yeah just the river

Yeah just the river flowing

This way’s out of town ‘nother nation being the star

Something called goodbye

It’s something down the hall

Too satisfied to walk the street that leads to the party

Everywhere the river flows to eternity

The sky turns black on my birthday wind howls drags us home

Trees smile as I’m passing on my way

They know I’ll be tired much too soon

If I go I won't go far

Just look up into the evening stars

I'll be there in every whisper in your heart

I have loved you for so long

And we're right where we belong

Never ending no we'll never be apart

Monday morning and the coffee's on the stove

I sit and watch the day begin with the woman that I love

Two alone safe at home 

Let the wind come up and let the rain come down

Here we are together here we're safe and sound

All we've prayed not afraid

If you look and I'm not there

Don't you worry baby I'm everywhere

Underfoot and in the middle of it all

But if these summer days decline

If this battle is not mine

Sooner or later everything must fall

Friday night and there's no place we have to go

There's a snuggle in the air and music on the radio

So little time and there's so much

So much we want to do

And every moment counts as more

If that moment's spent with you

So if I fall asleep too soon

Just remember I’ve gone walking on the moon

And I'll be back before you know it

Leave that candle in the window

A beam to light my way

It gets so dark out here at times

And I don't want to go astray

So if I go I won't go far

Just look up into the evening stars

I'll be there in every whisper in your heart

I have loved you for so long

And we're right where we belong

Never ending no we'll never be apart
