500 MILES AWAY FROM HOME Bobby Bare I'm 500 miles away from home Teardrops fell on momma's note When I read the things she wrote She said we miss you son we love you come on home Well I didn't have to pack I had it all right on my back Now I'm 500 miles away from home Away from home away from home Cold and tired and all alone Yes, I'm 500 miles away from home SPOKEN: I know this is the same road I took the day I left home, but it sure looks different now. And I guess I look different too, cause time changes everything. I wonder what they'll say, when they see their boy looking this bad. Oh I wonder what they'll say when I get home Can't remember when I ate It's just thumb and walk and wait And I'm still 500 miles away from home If my luck had been just right I'd be with them all tonight But I'm 500 miles away from home Away from home away from home Oh I'm still 500 miles away from home [email protected] or Tom Mazanec to humans

After the Fall Journey (Steve Perry - Jonathan Cain) From "Frontiers" So now love is gone And I can't go on Love is gone I want to say - now it's just to late Waited far too long Should'a told you then I knew Should'a told you right from the start - yeah But the words didn't come out right So I'll tell you straight from my heart You meant more to me Then I let you see You held on somehow All your tenderness and your sweet caress I miss you now But a head strong stubborn man Only works it out the best he can Valentines he never sent There's not enough time he's a working man (Chorus) Can't stop falling Heartaches calling Finds you after the fall Saints or sinners Take no prisoners What's left - after you fall No not much no I said love is gone I can't go on Now love is gone I want to say but it's just too late Waited far too long Should'a told you then I knew Should'a told you right from the start - yeah But the words didn't come out right So I'll tell you straight from my heart (Chorus) Can't stop falling Heartaches calling Finds you after the fall Saints or sinners Take no prisoners What's left - after you fall No not much no Oh no not much After the fall After you fall After you - fall

All The Way (Cahn/van Heusen) When somebody loves you It's no good unless he loves you - all the way Happy to be near you When you need someone to cheer you - all the way Taller than the tallest tree is That's how it's got to feel Deeper than the deep blue sea is That's how deep it goes - if its real When somebody needs you It's no good unless he needs you - all the way Through the good or lean years And for all the in between years - come what way Who know where the road will lead us Only a fool would say But if you'll let me love you It's for sure I'm gonna love you - all the way, all the

American Pie by Don McLean A long, long time ago... I can still remember how That music used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, That I could make those people dance, And maybe they'd be happy for a while. But February made me shiver, With every paper I'd deliver, Bad news on the doorstep... I couldn't take one more step. I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride But something touched me deep inside, The day the music died. So... Bye bye Miss American Pie, Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ol' boys were drinkin whiskey and rye Singing "This'll be the day that I die, This'll be the day that I die." Did you write the book of love, And do you have faith in God above, If the Bible tells you so? Now do you believe in rock 'n roll? Can music save your mortal soul? And can you teach me how to dance real slow? Well I know you're in love with him 'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym You both kicked off your shoes Man, I dig those rhythm 'n' blues I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck But I knew that I was out of luck The day the music died I started singing... Bye bye Miss American Pie, Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ol' boys were drinkin whiskey and rye Singing "This'll be the day that I die, This'll be the day that I die." Now for ten years we've been on our own And moss grows fat on a rolling stone But that's not how it used to be When the jester sang for the King and Queen In a coat he borrowed from James Dean And a voice that came from you and me Oh, and while the King was looking down The jester stole his thorny crown The courtroom was adjourned, No verdict was returned. And while Lennon read a book on Marx, The quartet practiced in the park And we sang dirges in the dark The day the music died. We were singing... Bye bye Miss American Pie, Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ol' boys were drinkin whiskey and rye Singing "This'll be the day that I die, This'll be the day that I die." Helter Skelter in a summer swelter The birds flew off with the fallout shelter Eight miles high and falling fast It landed foul on the grass The players tried for a forward pass With the jester on the sidelines in a cast Now the halftime air was sweet perfume While sergeants played a marching tune We all got up to dance Oh, but we never got the chance 'Cause the players tried to take the field, The marching band refused to yield. Do you recall what was revealed, The day the music died? We started singing Bye bye Miss American Pie, Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ol' boys were drinkin whiskey and rye Singing "This'll be the day that I die, This'll be the day that I die." And there we were all in one place A generation lost in space With no time left to start again So come on Jack be nimble Jack be quick Jack Flash sat on a candlestick 'Cause fire is the devil's only friend And as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage No angel born in hell Could break that satan's spell And as the flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrificial rite I saw satan laughing with delight The day the music died He was singing... Bye bye Miss American Pie, Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ol' boys were drinkin whiskey and rye Singing "This'll be the day that I die, This'll be the day that I die." I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news But she just smiled and turned away I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music years before But the man there said the music wouldn't play And in the streets the children screamed The lovers cried and the poets dreamed But not a word was spoken The church bells all were broken And the three men I admire most The Father Son and Holy Ghost They caught the last train for the coast The day the music died And they were singing... Bye bye Miss American Pie, Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ol' boys were drinkin whiskey and rye Singing "This'll be the day that I die, This'll be the day that I die." Bye bye Miss American Pie, Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ol' boys were drinkin whiskey and rye Singing "This'll be the day that I die, This'll be the day that I die."

As Tears Go By Marianne Faithfull Greatest Hits It is the evening of the day, I sit and watch the children play. Smiling faces I can see But not for me, I sit and watch as tears go by. My riches can't buy everything, I want to hear the children sing. All I hear is the sound Of rain falling on the ground, I sit and watch as tears go by. It is the evening of the day, I sit and watch the children play. Doing things I used to do They think are new, I sit and watch as tears go by.

ANGELS
You spend all your time waiting For that second chance For a break that will make it okay There's always some reason To feel not good enough And it's hard at the end of the day I need some distraction Oh, beautiful release Memory seeps from my veins Let me be empty Well, weightlessness and maybe I'll find some peace tonight In the arms of the angel Far away from here From this dark cold hotel room And the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage Of your silent reverie In the arms of the angel May you find Some comfort here So tired of the straight line And everwhere you turn Are vultures and thieves at your back And the storm keeps on twisting You keep on building the lies That you make up for all that you lack It don't make no difference Escape one last time It's easier to believe In this sweet madness All this glorious sadness It brings me to my knees In the arms of the angel Fly away from here From this dark Cold hotel room And the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage Of your silent reverie In the arms of the angel May you find Some comfort here You're in the arms of the angel May you find Some comfort here

DIAMONDS AND RUST
(Words and Music by Joan Baez)

Well I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you happened to call
And here I sit
Hand on the telephone
Hearing a voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall
As I remember your eyes
Were bluer than robin's eggs
My poetry was lousy you said
Where are you calling from?
A booth in the midwest
Ten years ago
I bought you some cufflinks
You brought me something
We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Well you burst on the scene
Already a legend
The unwashed phenomenon
The original vagabond
You strayed into my arms
And there you stayed
Temporarily lost at sea
The Madonna was yours for free
Yes the girl on the half-shell
Would keep you unharmed
Now I see you standing
With brown leaves falling around
And snow in your hair
Now you're smiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel
Over Washington Square
Our breath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could have died then and there
Now you're telling me
You're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You who are so good with words
And at keeping things vague
Because I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly
Yes I loved you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid

In My Life (Lennon/McCartney) There are places I'll remember All my life though some have changed Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments With lovers and friends I still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life I've loved them all But of all these friends and lovers There is no one compares with you And these memories lose their meaning When I think of love as something new Though I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life I love you more Though I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life I love you more In my life I love you more
