The Girl From
It wasn't sad the way they said good-bye Or maybe it hurt so bad she couldn't cry He his things, walked out the door and drove away And she became the from yesterday He took a plane the sea To some foreign She stayed at home and to understand How someone who had been so could be so far away And she the girl from yesterday She know what's right She doesn't know what's She only the pain that comes from waiting for so long And she count the teardrops That she's cried while he's Because she deep in her heart That he'll be back The light's on in the window; she's by the phone to a memory that's never coming home She dreams of his returning and the that he might say But she'll always be the girl yesterday Yeh, always be the girl from yesterday
To Be Still
It's just day in paradise As you to your bed give anything to silence Those voices ringing in head You thought you could happiness Just over that hill You thought you be satisfied But you never Learn to be We are sheep without a shepherd We know how to be alone So we wander 'round this And wind up following the wrong home But the flock cries out for And keep answering that bell And one starry-eyed messiah Meets a farewell- to be still Learn to be Now the flowers in your They don't so sweet Maybe forgotten The lying at your feet There are so many In all these messages we (We asking) How do I get out of do I fit in? Though the world is torn and if your heart is breakin' It's waiting for you to And you will- to be still Learn to be You keep on runnin' on runnin'
Tequila
It's another tequila Starin' slowly 'cross the sky, goodbye He was a hired hand on the dreams he planned to try The go by Ev'ry night the sun goes down another lonely boy in town And she's out 'round She wasn't just another And I couldn't keep comin' on It's been so Oh, and a hollow feelin' when It comes to dealin' friends It ends Take another shot of Wonder why the right words never You just get It's another sunrise,this old world still the same, frame, mm...
Hotel
On a desert highway, cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas, rising up the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering My head heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission And I was to myself, 'This could be Heaven or could be Hell' Then she lit up a candle and she me the way were voices down the corridor, I thought I them say... Welcome to the California Such a place Such a lovely Plenty of room at the Hotel Any time of year, you can it here Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she friends How they dance in the courtyard, sweet sweat. dance to remember, some dance to forget So I up the Captain, 'Please me my wine' He said,'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen nine' And still those are calling from far away, you up in the middle of the night Just to hear say... Welcome to the California Such a place a lovely face They it up at the Hotel California a nice surprise, bring your alibis on the ceiling, The pink on ice And she said 'We are all prisoners here, of our own device' And in the chambers, gathered for the feast The stab it their steely knives, But they just kill the beast Last I remember, I was for the door I had to the passage back To the I was before 'Relax,'said the man, We are to receive. You can any time you like, but you can leave!
