The From Yesterday
It wasn't sad the way they said good-bye Or it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry He his things, walked out the door and drove away And she became the girl from He a plane across the sea To foreign land She stayed at home and to understand How someone who had been so close could be so far And she became the girl from She doesn't what's right She doesn't know wrong She only knows the pain comes from waiting for so long And she count the teardrops she's cried while he's away Because she knows deep in her he'll be back someday The light's on in the window; she's by the phone Talking to a memory that's coming home She dreams of his returning and the things he might say But always be the girl from yesterday Yeh, she'll be the girl from yesterday
To Be Still
It's another day in paradise As you stumble to bed You'd give to silence voices ringing in your head You thought you find happiness Just over green hill You thought you would be But you never to be still We are like sheep without a We don't how to be alone So we 'round this desert And wind up the wrong gods home But the flock cries out for And they keep answering that And one more starry-eyed Meets a farewell- Learn to be to be still Now the flowers in your don't smell so sweet Maybe forgotten The heaven lying at feet There are so many In all messages we send (We asking) How do I get out of do I fit in? Though the world is and shaken Even if your heart is It's for you to awaken And someday you to be still Learn to be You keep on runnin' Keep on
Sunrise
It's another tequila slowly 'cross the sky, said goodbye He was just a hand on the dreams he planned to try The go by night when the sun goes down Just another lonely boy in And she's out 'round She wasn't just another And I couldn't keep from on It's so long Oh, and a hollow feelin' when It comes down to dealin' It never another shot of courage Wonder why the right never come You just get another tequila sunrise,this old world still the same, frame, mm...
Hotel
On a dark desert highway, wind in my hair smell of colitas, rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a light My head grew and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the There she stood in the I the mission bell And I was to myself, could be Heaven or this could be Hell' Then she lit up a and she showed me the way There were voices the corridor, I I heard them say... to the Hotel California Such a lovely a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel Any time of year, you can it here Her is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, she calls friends How dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember, dance to forget So I up the Captain, 'Please bring me my He said,'We haven't had that spirit since nineteen sixty nine' And still those voices are from far away, Wake you up in the middle of the Just to hear say... Welcome to the California Such a place a lovely face They it up at the Hotel California What a surprise, bring your alibis on the ceiling, The champagne on ice And she 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device' And in the chambers, They gathered for the The stab it their steely knives, But just can't kill the beast thing I remember, I was Running for the I had to find the back To the place I was 'Relax,'said the man, We are to receive. You can checkout any you like, but you can leave!
