"Out of the Rain"

 

Jessi Colter, Waylon Jennings & Tony Joe White

https://youtu.be/CuAwOcvPaBw

 

Patricia Kaas

 

Joe Cocker

 

 

Out of the rain

Under the shelter

I've been so long

Where the sun don't shine

 

Standing at the crossroad

I could have went either way

But now I've found you

And the storm is behind

 

Out of the rain

Out of the rain

 

Over the wall

I'm out in the open

Back on the right tracks

I'm feeling no pain

 

You took a sparrow

Let it fly with the eagles

I can see a long way

I can feel love again

 

Out of the rain

Out of the rain

 

There was a time

I was taking no prisoners

Standing with a cold heart

Standing alone

 

It took your sweet love

To pull me out of the canyon

I believe that I can make it now

I feel like I belong

 

Out of the rain

Out of the rain

Out of the rain

Out of the rain

"Angels in the Garden" - October Project

 

The angels in the garden

Are hiding in the snow

You hold them in your memory

As beautiful as long ago

 

Careless as a child

You live with what you know

You see the earth is frozen

But you believe that life will grow

 

[CHORUS]

Let go of what is lost

Leg go of what has hurt you

As long as you are here with me

I promise to love you

 

You see what you imagine

The ghost of something good

You reach into the silence

An empty place where someone stood

 

I've come to stand beside you

To give you what I could

To tell you I remember

The promises of childhood

 

[CHORUS]

 

All the rivers running through you

All the canyons deep and dry

All the colors you imagined

All the feelings you denied

 

All the dreams you have awakened

All the ways you were asleep

All the kingdoms you've forsaken

For the kingdoms you will keep

We will keep

 

The angels in the garden

Are hiding in the snow

You hold them for a moment

And finally you let them go

 

Let go of what is lost

Leg go of what has hurt you

As long as you are here with me

I promise to love you

"Journey to the Center of the Earth" - Rick Wakeman

 

By horse, by rail, by land, by sea, our journey starts

Two men incensed by one man's journey from the past

In Iceland where the mountain stood with pride

They set off with their guide

To reach the mountain side

 

Roped as one for safety through the long descent

Into the crater of volcanic rock they went

Look up from our telescopic lair

One star for us to share

We continue on our prayer

 

Crystals of opaque quartz studded limpid tears

Forming magic chandeliers

Lighting blistered galleries

 

Memories of a life on earth go flashing past

Of home, of Grauben, friends of whom he's seen his last

Contemplating what his life's been worth

While trapped beneath the earth

An embryo at birth

 

Pain and fear destroy the beauty I have seen

Of caverns where no other man has ever been

Silurian epoch hosts me as my grave

My final blow I wave

A life too late to save

 

Crystals of opaque quartz studded limpid tears

Forming magic chandeliers

Lighting blistered galleries

"Troubled Mind" - Catie Curtis

 

I've been getting down

About all the runaround

About all the pushing

And the standing in line

 

But like my friends say

You gotta do it anyway

And it just gets harder

When you ask why

 

And I'm tired from all the weight

I'm tired of being strong

So won't you come and stay

And let me lay down in your arms

Down in your arms

 

I've been getting up early

I've been getting my coffee

I've been getting in this car

And driving all over town

 

Talking to myself

While I'm taking of my seat belt

Some people don't know

How to slow down

 

And I'm tired from all the weight

I'm tired of being strong

So won't you come and stay

And let me lay down in your arms

Down in your arms

 

I've got a troubled

A troubled mind

And you've got a heart

A heart so kind, so kind

 

So pack an overnight bag

Don't worry about what you have

Cause if you need something

You can just use mine

 

And you don't have to promise

More than you want to

But if you want to see me

This would be a good time

 

Cause I'm tired from all the weight

I'm tired of being strong

So won't you come and stay

And let me lay down in your arms

Down in your arms

"Question" -  Manfred Mann's Earth Band

 

In a dream it would seem

I went to those who close the open door

And turning the key I sat and spoke

To those inside of me

 

They answered my questions with questions

And they pointed me into the night

Where the moon was a star-painted dancer

And the world was just a spectrum of light

 

They reached to my center of reason

And pulled on the touchstone that's there

The shock of that light had me reeling

And I fell into the depths of despair

 

Turning the key I sat and spoke

To those inside of me

 

They answered my questions with questions

And sent me to stand on the brink

Where the sun and the moon were as brothers

And all that was left was to think

 

They answered my questions with questions

And they pointed me into the night

And the power that bore me had left me alone

To figure out which way was right

"Fly Away" - Honey Ryder

 

Oh, take me away

I'll be your passenger

I'm coming after you

How does it feel, how does it feel

 

Gotta leave

Find a way outta here

Suddenly everything seems so clear

Found a place to run away

I can feel a change in me today

 

Fly away with me

Revive me from the stream

I'm drifting away

Throw a life line in to save me

From the place I'm in

Oh, please, please take me away

 

Floating in space

Such a beautiful place

Stars shining over me

How does it feel, how does it feel

 

See the world opening up for me

Free from your reality

Found a place to run away

I could feel the change in me today

 

Fly away with me

Revive me from the stream

I'm drifting away

Throw a life line in to save me

Cause I don't wanna sleep

I'm drifting away

 

Life is blinding me

Remind me how I used to be

 

Oh, I'm drifting away

Life is blinding me

Remind me how I used to be

Oh, please take me away

Take me away

 

How does it feel, how does it feel

H does it feel, how does it feel

How does it feel

 

So free is what I'm feeling

"Don't Lose Heart" - Dan Fogelberg

 

This life is heartless and it's rarely just

Full of sad betrayals and misplaced trust

And it can suck your spirit just as dry as dust

And steal your soul if you let it

 

Oh, every life contains its sorrows and pains

Its stormy weather and its rough terrains

You watch me wrestle with my length of chain

And smile so bravely as you tell me

 

Don't lose heart

Don't lose heart

Though it feels like yours will fall apart

Just remember when the road gets dark

I will always be beside you

 

Well, I've spent my life pursuing fortune and fame

Chasing rainbows in a shadow game

And I'm not sure what I've lost is worth the gain

Or why my soul remains so restless

 

You've seen me stumble, Lord, you've seen me fall

You've shared my triumphs and you've seen me crawl

And when I think that I could lose it all

You give me courage and you tell me

 

Don't lose heart

Don't lose heart

Though it feels like yours will fall apart

Just remember when the road gets dark

I will always be beside you

 

When the road gets rocky and the ride gets rough

And the best you got to give ain't good enough

There will always be a place inside my love

Where you can find shelter, where you can find shelter

 

Oh every life contains its sorrows and pains

Its stormy weather and its rough terrains

You watch me wrestle with my length of chain

And smile so bravely as you tell me

 

Don't lose heart

Oh don't lose heart

Though it feels like yours will fall apart

Just remember when the road gets dark

I will always be beside you

 

Well, I will always be beside

Beside you

Arcade fire- Wake up

 

 

Somethin’ filled up

my heart with nothin’.

Someone told me not to cry.

 

But now that I’m older,

my heart’s colder,

and I can see that it’s a lie.

 

Children, wake up.

Hold your mistake up

before they turn the summer into dust.

 

If the children don’t grow up,

our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.

We’re just a million little gods causin' rain storms,

turnin’ every good thing to rust.

 

I guess we’ll just have to adjust.

 

With my lightnin’ bolts a glowin’,

I can see where I am goin’ to be

when the reaper he reaches and touches my hand.

 

With my lightnin’ bolts a glowin’,

I can see where I am goin’.

With my lightnin’ bolts a glowin’,

I can see where I am go -- goin’!

 

You better look out below

Listen to this one abcd it will cheer u up.

 

 

 

I believe when a man's in love he'll do anything he wants

He'll do anything that will come to his mind

And like that, Mr. Steak was in love every minute of his mind:

He's stepping left and right cha-cha

He came to me in a package of delight

Every other meal paled in his shadow ooh

He picked me, not the other way around

He came bursting at the seams

He pranced around la la

He brought the 1 2 3 he brought the four on the floor

He loved to move he was everything and more

And every bite just made him dance more and more

He loved to

Mr. Steak you were Grade A

Mr. Steak, he's such a bachelor at heart

He'd never met another cut that likes to booty booty shaky shake

Do you believe that a steak couldn't love

Or is hard to manage the fact of meat jerkin to the beat

But Mr. Steak he is practically an animal of joy

The rarest of all cuts: tenderloin

It was a tragedy of unimaginable fate his legend lives across the land

Hand in hand here we go he brought the 1

He brought the 1 2 3 he brought the four on the floor

He loved to move he was everything and more

And every bite just made him dance more and more

He loved to

Mr. Steak you were great, eh?

Maggie Reilly - Only Love

 

 

Looking for the anwers

Not knowing what I'll find

Gonna take my chances

Won't let it hurt me this time

Once before

Put my faith in someone

I was wrong, I was wrong

But I know

There's no reason to run

Now that I have you to count on

Only love can feel this way

Only love can brighten your day

Suddenly you will discover

Heaven-sent, one to another

Only love can understand

Life can change the touch of a hand

Shimmering light in the darkness

Showing you the way to be free

Lost within temptation

Breathless in your arms

Something that's unspoken

Is keeping us both from harm

All this wild adoration

Can't beliece, I can't believe

All my life I've been eaiting

Now I know I'll never leave you

Only love can feel this way

Only love can brighten your day

Suddenly you will discover

Heaven-sent, one to another

Only love can understand

Life can change the touch of a hand

Shimmering light in the darkness

Showing you the way to be free

I will stay

I know know fragile a love is

But I feel

That this is where I belong

From now on it's

Only love can feel like this

Only love, it starts with a kiss

And suddenly you will discover

It's heaven-sent, one to another

Only love can understand

Life can change the touch of a hand

Shimmering light in the darkness

Showing you the way to be free

Only love can feel like this

Only love, it starts with a kiss

And suddenly you will discover

It's heaven-sent, one to another

Only love can understand

Life can change the touch of a hand

Shimmering light in the darkness

Showing you the way to be free

Only love

"Darkness, Darkness"

 

The Youngbloods

https://youtu.be/my2ig7mGHtE

 

Ann Wilson (ft. Nancy Wilson)

 

Robert Plant

https://youtu.be/my2ig7mGHtE

 

Darkness, darkness

Be my pillow

Take my head

And let me sleep

In the coolness of your shadow

In the silence of your deep

 

Darkness, Darkness

Hide my yearning

For the things I cannot be

Keep my mind from constant turning

Toward the things I cannot see now

Things I cannot see now

Things I cannot see

 

Darkness, darkness

Long and lonesome

Ease the day that brings me pain

I have felt the edge of sadness

I have known the depth of fear

 

Darkness, darkness

Be my blanket

Cover me with the endless night

Take away, take away the pain of knowing

Fill the emptiness of right now

Emptiness of right now

Emptiness of right now

 

Darkness, darkness

Be my pillow

Take my hand

And let me sleep

In the coolness of your shadow

In the silence, the silence of your deep

 

Darkness, darkness

Be my blanket

Cover me with the endless night

Take away, take away the pain of knowing

Fill the emptiness of right now

Emptiness of right now

Emptiness, emptiness

"Lonliness" - Annie Lennox

 

Loneliness

Is a place that I know well

It's the distance between us

And the space inside ourselves

 

And emptiness

Is the chattering in your head

It's the call of the living

And the race from life to death

Oh, and I know

Yea, and I know

What you feel

 

And I've got a longing

That's hard to find

Won't give me no peace of mind

Something that I've lived with all along

Days and weeks and months and years

Filling in the time, my dear

Trying to find a place where I belong

 

Hopelessness

Is the darkness in your heart

It's the sound of one hand clapping

While it's pulling you apart

Oh, and I know

Yes, and I know

What you feel

I know what you're feeling now

 

And I've got a longing

That's hard to find

Won't give me no peace of mind

Something that I've lived with all along

Days and weeks and months and years

Filling in the time, my dear

Trying to find the place where I belong

 

And I got a hunger that's

Hard to fill

Driving me on overkill

Telling me that everything's gone wrong

Got me a need

That I can't break

More than I can hardly take

Somehow I still keep on going strong

 

When I call your name

I'm gonna scream out loud

I say, "Here I am standing in the crowd"

You say, "Come to me with your open mind

You never know what you still might find"

 

But you keep me here

Like a cancelled flight

An empty train

Running through the night

An orphan child

A broken shoe

And I'm still down here

Looking out for you

 

Are you there for me

Cause I'm here for you

 

Are you there for me

Are you there for me

I'm here for you

I'm here for you

"Can You Stand The Rain" - New Edition

 

On a perfect day

I know that I can count on you

When that's not possible

Tell me can you weather the storm

 

Cause I need somebody

Who will stand by me

Through the good times and bad

You will always, always be right there

 

Sunny days

Everybody loves them

But tell me, Baby

Can you stand the rain

Storms will come

This we know for sure

Can you stand the rain

 

Love unconditional

I'm not asking this of you

We've got to make it last

I'll do whatever needs to be done

 

But I need somebody

Who will stand by me

When it's tough she won't run

She will always be right there for me

 

Sunny days

Everybody loves them

But tell me, can you stand the rain

Storms will come

This we know for sure

Can you stand the rain

 

I know all the days won't be perfect

But can you stand it

Can you stand the rain

 

No pressure

No pressure from me, Baby

Cause I want you

And I need you

And I love you

Will you be there for me

 

Can you stand the rain

"Dark Road" - Sarah Jorosz

 

You are going down a dark road

And you find yourself alone

And you are seeing things

You never saw before

 

But the loneliness will leave you

And you find yourself at home

Then suddenly the world

Is knocking at your door

 

The darkness covers you sometimes

The road is long but it always unwinds

And I find if you take your time

You will make it fine

 

Now the way I feel inside

Is not a mirror of my mind

But I cannot find the way

To be what I should be

 

With a thousand miles between us

I can feel you in my arms

But it’s just a feeling deep

In my memory

 

The darkness covers me sometimes

The road is long but it always unwinds

And I find if you take your time

You will make it fine

 

The emptiness that fills me up

Is farther from me now

But it always lingers

On the back roads of my mind

 

I am falling from the darkness

Up into a swirling light

And I am looking at

The one I had to find

 

The darkness covers me sometimes

The road is long but it always unwinds

And I find if you take your time

You will make it fine

"Only To Fly" - Chris Rea

 

You must live what you really love

You must be only what you're dreaming of

Like a bird rising in the sky

 

You are only

Only to fly

Only to fly

 

When you hear the sound you love

Do you turn and walk away

Is it something you are frightened of

Are you scared what it may say

 

You must not run, you cannot hide

It's only what you really feel

It calls to you from deep inside

You've got to know this dream is real

 

Only to fly

Only to fly

Only to fly

 

You must live what you really love

You must be only what you're dreaming of

Like a bird rising in the sky

 

You are only

Only to fly

Only to fly

"To Comfort You" - Bette Midler

 

 

http://farm8.static.flickr.com/7173/6561282815_0b8e359ffa.jpg

 

 

You've been down in the dumps

It seems like forever

Now what have they done to you

Not a single thing's turned out

The way you imagined

It all looks unreachable to you

 

You don't know for the life of you

What is missing

Or why it always happens to you

And you don't like yourself

You feel nobody's listening

You don't need another platitude

 

For a moment you forget

And a smile comes to your face

But it doesn't last too long

It's like a string you got tied

Around your finger

Reminding you of everything that's wrong

 

I won't try to say I know what you're feeling

I won't try to second guess you

I won't try to give advice you won't be needing

I'm only here to comfort you

  I'm only here to comfort you 

 

And I'd love to be the reason

A smile comes to your face

Even if it doesn't last too long

And I'd love to take that string

You've got tied around your finger

Reminding you of everything that's wrong

 

I won't try to say I know what you're feeling

I won't try to second guess you

I won't try to give advice you won't be needing

I'm only here to comfort you

I'm only here to comfort you

 

I'm only here to comfort you

"Sad Lisa"

Cat Stevens

 

Marianne Faithfull

 

She hangs her head and cries in my shirt

She must be hurt very badly

Tell me what's making you sad, Li

Open your door, don't hide in the dark

You're lost in the dark, you can trust me

Cause you know that's how it must be

Lisa, Lisa

Sad Lisa, Lisa

 

Her eyes like windows trickling rain

Upon the pain getting deeper

Though my love wants to relieve her

She walks alone from wall to wall

Lost in a hall she can't hear me

Though I know she likes to be near me

Lisa, Lisa

Sad Lisa, Lisa

 

She sits in her corner by the door

There must be more I can tell her

If she really wants me to help her

I'll do what I can to show her the way

And maybe one day I will free her

Though I know no-one can see her

Lisa, Lisa

Sad Lisa, Lisa

"Pain on Pain" - Feeder

 

Stay for life, for life

All you discover

Stay for life, for life

This moment together

To heal yourself

Love can heal

Can't watch you fall

 

Pain on pain

Don't come back here again

Shame on pain

Took the last breath away

 

Save yourself, yourself

Lost for a second

Save yourself, yourself

Bury the conscience

And heal yourself

You can heal

Can't watch you fall

 

Pain on pain

Don't come back here again

Shame on pain

Took the last breath away

Pain on pain

 

Pain, pain, pain, pain

 

Wait for love, for love

You know it can happen

Wait for love, for love

The touch of a hand

To heal yourself

You can heal

Can't watch you fall

 

Pain on pain

Don't come back here again

Shame on pain

Took the last breath away

Pain on pain

"All Flowers In Time Bend Towards The Sun"

Jeff Buckley and Elizabeth Fraser

 

My eyes are baptism

Oh, I'm a fuse

I'm singing into my thoughts

Oh, phantom elusive one

 

Oh, all flowers in time bend towards the sun

I know you say there's no one for you

But here is one

All flowers in time bend towards the sun

I know you say there's no one for you

But here is one

But here is one

Here is one

 

Keep it going in me

We could try to learn

Fading farther from me

With your face in my window glow

Where will you wait for me

Sweet willow

 

It's okay to be angry

But not to hurt me

Your happiness

Yes, yes, yes

Darling, darling, darling

 

All flowers in time bend towards the sun

I know you say there's no one for you

But here is one

All flowers in time bend towards the sun

I know you say there's no one for you

But here is one

But here is one,

But here is one

"Little Bird" - Dolly Parton

https://youtu.be/3jrGAIqGgSM

 

Beauty is a rare perfume

Precious, yet doesn't last long

Youth is but a playful breeze

It blows our way once then moves on

 

Love is a hidden treasure

Some never find where it lies

And memory is a little bird

Flies through life, never dies

 

Little bird, take me aboard

Your beautiful wings and let me fly

Fly me away back to yesterday

And drop me off there awhile

 

Let me smell the rare perfume

Of the sweet flower of beauty again

Let me run in the playful breeze

Of youth long gone with the wind

 

Let me sit for awhile by the place

Where I found the treasure of love

Then sing me a song as you fly me along

On our long last journey above

"Better Days" - The Goo Goo Dolls

 

And you asked me what I want this year

And I try to make this kind and clear

Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

Cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings

And designer love and empty things

Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

 

So take these words and sing out loud

Cause everyone is forgiven now

Cause tonight's the night the world begins again

 

I need some place simple where we could live

And something only you can give

And that's faith and trust and peace while we're alive

And the one poor child who saved this world

And there's ten million more who probably could

If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

 

So take these words and sing out loud

Cause everyone is forgiven now

Cause tonight's the night the world begins again

 

I wish everyone was loved tonight

And somehow stop this endless fight

Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

 

So take these words and sing out loud

Cause everyone is forgiven now

Cause tonight's the night the world begins again

 

Cause tonight's the night the world begins again

abcd, thanks for the Cat Stevens song, Sad Lisa.  I have all his albums and love all of his songs.  He's my favorite artist of all time.  I've requested his music be played at my funeral.  Feel free to find more of his and post the lyrics.
