The From Yesterday
It wasn't sad the way they said good-bye Or maybe it just so bad she couldn't cry He packed his things, out the door and drove away And she became the from yesterday He took a across the sea To foreign land She at home and tried to understand How someone who had been so could be so far away And she the girl from yesterday She doesn't know what's She doesn't know wrong She only the pain that comes from waiting for so long And she count the teardrops That she's cried he's away she knows deep in her heart That be back someday 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 yesterday Yeh, she'll always be the girl from
To Be Still
It's just day in paradise As you stumble to bed You'd give anything to Those ringing in your head You thought you find happiness Just over that green You thought you would be But you never Learn to be We are like without a shepherd We don't know how to be So we wander 'round this And wind up following the wrong gods But the cries out for another And they answering that bell And one more starry-eyed Meets a farewell- Learn to be Learn to be Now the in your garden They don't smell so Maybe forgotten The heaven at your feet There are so many In all these we send (We asking) How do I get out of do I fit in? Though the is torn and shaken if your heart is breakin' It's waiting for you to And someday you Learn to be to be still You keep on runnin' on runnin'
Tequila
It's another tequila Starin' slowly 'cross the sky, goodbye He was just a hired Workin' on the dreams he to try The go by Ev'ry night when the sun goes Just another boy in town And she's out runnin' She just another woman And I keep from comin' on been so long Oh, and a hollow feelin' when It comes to dealin' friends It never Take another of courage Wonder why the words never come You get numb It's another tequila sunrise,this old 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 head heavy 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, 'This could be Heaven or this could be Then she lit up a and she showed me the way There voices down the corridor, I I heard them say... Welcome to the Hotel a lovely place Such a lovely Plenty of at the Hotel California Any time of year, you can find it Her is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls How they in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some to remember, some dance to forget So I up the Captain, bring me my wine' He said,'We haven't had that spirit since nineteen sixty nine' And still those are calling from far away, Wake you up in the of the night to hear them say... Welcome to the Hotel Such a place Such a face They livin' it up at the Hotel What a nice surprise, bring alibis on the ceiling, The pink on ice And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own And in the chambers, They gathered for the The it with their steely knives, But they just can't kill the thing I remember, I was Running for the I had to find the passage To the place I was 'Relax,'said the man, We are to receive. You can checkout any you like, but you can leave!
