I came so far for beauty I left so much behind My patience and my family My masterpiece unsigned I thought I'd be rewarded For such a lonely choice And maybe he would answer To such a hopeless voice I practiced all my sainthood I gave to one and all But the rumours of my virtue They move...

Must be a million boys living in this great big city I know that one of them is just right for me I've looked uptown, downtown, all around searchin' I know he's out there waiting for me I know somewhere, somebody, lookin', longin' Somewhere, somebody, waitin' for me Somewhere, somebody, sear...

Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free. Like a fish on a hook, like a knight from an old fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons for thee. If I have been unkind, I hope that you could just let it go by. And if I have been untrue I hope...

Sun goes down on a silky day Quarter moon walkin' thru the Milky Way When it's me and you baby We could think of somethin' to do 'Cause it's the right time of the night Oh, the stars are winkin' above Honey, it's the right time of the night For makin' love We'll go drinkin' in some heavy ...

There was a child named Bernadette I heard the story long ago She saw the Queen of Heaven once And kept the vision in her soul No one believed what she had seen No one believed what she heard But there were sorrows to be here And mercy, mercy in this world So many hearts I find, broke like...

They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom For trying to change the system from within I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin I'm guided by a signal in the heavens I'm guided by the birthmark on my skin I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons...

Today I am your chariot horse Tomorrow I'm your albatross Suspended by the finest thread No one could ever see And when there's breathing in your ear You put your faith in all you hear But just how deep those feelings go I have no way to know I'll never know And if I was blind Would you ...

Since you left me darling The city doesn't feel right On the street the music stopped And the light seem half as bright Without your love This old town's no fun at all Without your love I only hear the loudest voices The one's with something new to sell And now it's all Big talk, big name...

Now the courtroom is quiet, but who will confess. Is it true you betrayed us? The answer is Yes. Then read me the list of the crimes that are mine, I will ask for the mercy that you love to decline. And all the ladies go moist, and the judge has no choice, A singer must die for the lie in his v...

Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc as she came riding through the dark; no moon to keep her armour bright, no man to get her through this dark and smoky night. She said, "I'm tired of the war, I want the kind of work I had before, a wedding dress or something white to wear upon my swoll...

Maybe I'm still hurting I can't turn the other cheek But you know that I still love you It's just that I can't speak I looked for you in everyone And they called me on that too I lived alone but I was only Coming back to you They're shutting down the factory now Just when all the bills ar...

I've loved you for a long, long time I know this love is real It don't matter how it all went wrong That don't change the way I feel I don't believe that time can heal this wound I'm speaking of Ah, there ain't no cure, There ain't no cure, There ain't no cure for love. I'm aching for you ...

I pictured a rainbow You held it in your hands I had flashes You saw the plan I wandered out in the world for years While you just stayed in your room I saw the crescent You saw the whole of the moon The whole of the moon You were there in the turnstiles With the wind at your heels You ...

It's four in the morning, the end of December I'm writing you now just to see if you're better New York is cold, but I like where I'm living There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening. I hear that you're building your house deep in the desert Are you living for nothing now, hope ...

Way down, way way down Way way down deep You've got me way down, way way down, Way way down deep You're got me way down, way down deep I wander with you in my sleep I'm way down, way way down, Way way down deep It came to me this morning I was walking down the street Was like my ...
