The Girl From
It wasn't reall sad the way they good-bye Or maybe it just so bad she couldn't cry He packed his things, walked out the door and away And she the girl from yesterday He took a plane the sea To some foreign She stayed at home and tried to How who had been so close could be so far away And she the girl from yesterday She doesn't know what's She doesn't know what's She only knows the that comes from waiting for so long And she doesn't the teardrops That she's cried while he's Because she knows deep in her That he'll be back The light's on in the window; waiting by the phone Talking to a memory that's never home She dreams of his and the things that he might say But she'll always be the girl from Yeh, she'll be the girl from yesterday
To Be Still
It's just day in paradise As you stumble to bed You'd give anything to Those voices in your head You you could find happiness Just that green hill You thought you be satisfied But you never to be still We are like sheep without a We don't know how to be So we 'round this desert And wind up following the wrong home But the flock out for another And they answering that bell And one more messiah Meets a farewell- Learn to be Learn to be Now the in your garden don't smell so sweet Maybe forgotten The heaven lying at your There are so contridictions In all these we send (We asking) How do I get out of do I fit in? Though the world is and shaken Even if heart is breakin' waiting for you to awaken And someday you to be still Learn to be You just on runnin' Keep on
Tequila
another tequila sunrise Starin' slowly 'cross the sky, goodbye He was just a hand on the dreams he planned to try The go by Ev'ry night when the sun down Just lonely boy in town And out runnin' '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 another shot of courage Wonder why the right words come You just get It's tequila 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 in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the There she in the doorway; I heard the bell And I was to myself, 'This could be Heaven or this could be Then she lit up a candle and she me the way There were voices the corridor, I thought I them say... Welcome to the California a lovely place Such a lovely Plenty of at the Hotel California Any time of year, you can it here Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the bends She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls How they dance in the courtyard, sweet sweat. Some dance to remember, some to forget So I up the Captain, 'Please bring me my He said,'We haven't had that here since nineteen sixty nine' And still voices are calling from far away, Wake you up in the of the night to hear them say... Welcome to the Hotel Such a lovely a lovely face They livin' it up at the California What a surprise, bring your alibis on the ceiling, The pink on ice And she 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device' And in the chambers, gathered for the feast The stab it with their knives, But they just can't the beast thing I remember, I was Running for the I had to find the back To the I was before 'Relax,'said the man, We are to receive.
