Lyrics

Part Of The Plan

I have these moments all steady and strong

I'm feeling so holy and humble

The next thing I know I'm all worried and weak

And I feel myself starting to crumble

The meanings get lost and the teachings get tossed

And you don't know what you're going to do next

You wait for the sun but it never quite comes

Some kind of message comes through to you

Some kind of message comes through

And it says to you...

(Chorus)

Love when you can

Cry when you have to

Be who you must

That's a part of the plan

Await your arrival with simple survival

And one day we'll all understand

One day we'll all understand

I had a woman who gave me her soul

But I wasn't ready to take it

Her heart was so fragile and heavy to hold

And I was afraid I might break it

Your conscience awakes and you see your mistakes

And you wish someone would buy your confessions

The days miss their mark and the night gets so dark

And some kind of message comes through to you

Some kind of message shoots through --

And it says to you...

(Chorus)

There is no Eden or Heavenly gates

That you're gonna make it to one day

But all of the answers you seek can be found

In the dreams that you dream on the way

Tennessee 1973

Illinois

Dusty day dawning three hours late

Open the curtains and let the rest wait

My mind goes running three thousand miles east

I may miss the harvest but I won't miss the feast

(Chorus)

And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again

Illinois...oh, Illinois

Illinois, Illinois

South California, your sun is too cold

It looks like your hills have been raped of their gold

I should have come out when I was first told

This lamb has got to return to the fold

(Chorus)

Illinois--I'm your boy

Flat on the prairies, soil and stone

Stretching forever taking me home

'Cause I've got a woman who waits for me there

And I need a breath of that sweet country air

(Chorus)

Illinois, Illinois

Illinois--I'm your boy

California 1971

Changing Horses

Changing horses in the middle of a stream

Gets you wet and sometimes cold

Changing faces in the middle of a dream gets you old

Oh, gets you old

Looking farther than you'll ever hope to see

Takes you places you don't know

Search for someone you can't ever hope to be

And still you go

Oh, still you go

Don't you think it's kind of sad to say

Don't you think it's gonna change

Makes you think you'll have to stay inside for a while

Changing horses in the middle of a stream

Gets you wet and sometimes cold

Changing faces in the middle of a dream gets you old

Oh gets you old...gets you old... gets you old...gets you old

Illinois 1972

Better Change

I can see you in the distance

And you're heading for a fall

Sinking deeper by the minute

You're about to lose it all

(Chorus)

You better change before the sun goes down

You better leave before you are the last in town

You better raise your fortresses or tear them down

Tear them down...tear them down

Well there's an angel on your shoulders

And a devil at your feet

And that door you see before you

Could be poison tasting sweet

(Chorus)

I can see you in the distance

And you're heading for a fall

Sinking deeper by the minute

You're about to lose it all

(Chorus)

You gotta tear them down...tear them down

You better tear them down...tear them down

Souvenirs

Here is a poem that my lady sent down

Some morning while I was away

Wrote on the back of a leaf that she found

Somewhere around Monterey

And here is the key to a house far away

Where I used to live as a child

They tore down the building when I moved away

And left the key unreconciled

(Chorus)

And down in the canyon the smoke starts to rise

It rides on the wind 'til it reaches your eyes

When faced with the past the strongest man cries...cries

(Repeat Chorus)

And here is a sunrise to set on your sill

The ghosts of the dawn moving near

They pass through your sorrow and leave you quite still...

Sitting among souvenirs

The Long Way

She was lost and I thought I was found

Even so I tried to bring her in

She was young and I had just begun

To learn that even losing men can win

(Chorus)

We went the long way

We went the long way...

Or maybe just the wrong way

I'll never know

Overnight we were shown the light

Neither of us knew to look away...

So we burned and far too late we learned

That lifetimes can't be lived out in a day

(Chorus)

So, goodbye

At least we made the try

Something can be said for love that's pure

If and when we ever try again

One thing will be known to us for sure...

We'll go the long way

We'll go the long way...

Or maybe just the wrong way

I'll never know

Whoa-Whoa, I'll never know

Illinois 1971

As The Raven Flies

I see the raven's made her nest in your eyes

She's got you thinking that her love is a prize

And you'll go under from the weight of her lies

As the raven flies...as the raven flies

She'll bring you stories that just never sound true

She'll bring you secrets that were never meant for you

And just as you come round she'll send you back through

She's in love with you...she's in love with you

Darker, darker

Don't let her talk her way into you

Lonely, lonely

You know she's only no good for you

Darker, darker

Don't let her talk her way into you

Lonely, lonely

You know she's only no good for you

I see the raven's made her nest in your eyes

She's got you thinking that her love is a prize

And you'll go under from the weight of her lies

As the raven flies...as the raven flies

Song From Half Mountain

Now the wind is still

In a moment it will be raging

Now my soul is young

In a moment it will be aging

And high above the pines I wrote several lines

And left them in a bottle for you to find

Now the dream is rising

In a moment it will be past

This breath is my first

It will all too soon be my last

And on a windy coast I made several toasts

To you and me and the sea and no one heard

Now the wind is still

In a moment it will be raging

Now my soul is young

In a moment it will be aging

And high above the pines

I wrote several lines

And left them in a bottle for you to find

Colorado 1971

Morning Sky

You and I were lovers all along

We had a good thing going strong and never doubted

Lately, I feel changes comin' on

I know that I will soon be gone and you don't even want to talk about it

Ooh, and it makes me stop and wonder why

People give their hearts and turn around and say goodbye

If there's something on your mind you better say it while there's time

'Cause I'm leavin' when I see that morning sky

Ooh, how did we ever come to this

There's nothing for me in your kisses anymore

Late nights in the kitchen I'm pretending I still care

But we both know there's nothing there

And you just keep on starin' at the door

Ooh, and it makes me stop and wonder why

People give their hearts and turn around and say goodbye

If there's something on your mind you better say it while there's time

'Cause I'm leavin' when I see that morning sky

Ooh, and it makes me stop and wonder why

People give their hearts and turn around and say goodbye

If there's something on your mind you better say it while there's time

'Cause I'm leavin' when I see that morning sky

You and I were lovers all along

We had a good thing going strong and never doubted

Lately, I feel changes comin' on

I know that I will soon be gone and you don't even want to talk about it

Ooh, and it makes me stop and wonder why

People give their hearts and turn around and say goodbye

If there's something on your mind you better say it while there's time

'Cause I'm leavin' when I see that morning sky

See that morning sky

(Someone's Been) Telling You Stories

So you've heard I've been flyin' and tryin' to get into somebody new

And I'm off on a new love and don't hardly ever think about you

He's gotten so cold

He ain't the same old lover you used to know

He's in a nose dive barely half alive and just about to let go

(Chorus)

Someone's been telling you stories (someone's been telling)

Someone's been telling you stories (someone's been telling you)

Someone's been telling you stories (someone's been telling you lies)

And they just ain't true

They just ain't true

No, they just ain't true

They just ain't true

So you heard I got laid and betrayed by a maid in a one night stand

And I'm caught in the middle of something I don't really understand

He's gotten so lost

He's been double-crossed by a change in the wind

He's gone solo again and he can't slow down now to pick up a friend

(Chorus)

So you've heard I've been flyin' and tryin' to get into somebody new

And I'm off on a new love and don't hardly ever think about you

He's gotten so cold He ain't the same old lover you used to know

He's gone solo again

He's just using you just to sell out a show

Someone's been telling you stories (someone's been telling)

Someone's been telling you stories (someone's been telling you)

Someone's been telling you stories (someone's been telling you lies)

And they just ain't true

They just ain't true

Oh no, they just ain't true

They just ain't true

California 1973-74

There's A Place In The World For A Gambler

There's a place in the world for a gambler

There's a burden that only he can bear

There's a place in the world for a gambler

And he sees...oh, yes he sees...

There's a song in the heart of a woman

That only the truest of loves can release

There's a song in the heart of a woman

Set it free...oh, set it free

There's a light in the depths of your darkness

There's a calm at the eye of every storm

There's a light in the depths of your darkness

Let it shine...oh, let it shine

Let it shine
