An old man by a sea shore at the end of day Gazes the horizon with sea winds in his face. Tempest-tossed island, seasons all the same. Anchorage unpainted and a ship without a name. Sea without a shore for the vanished one unheard He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world. Showing the way, lighting hope in their hearts, The ones and their travels homeward from afar. This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world. Horizon's crying the tears he left behind long ago. The albatross is flying, making him daydream The time before he became - one of the world`s unseen Princess in the tower, children in the fields - Life gave him it all: an island of the universe. Now his love`s a memory, a ghost in the fog. He sets the sails one last time saying farewell to the world. Anchor to the water, seabed far below, Grass still in his feet and a smile beneath his brow.

When I hear the rain a comin' down it makes me sad and blue Was on a rainy night like this that Flo said we were through. I told her how I loved her, and I begged her not to go But another man had changed her mind so I said goodbye to Flo. Alone within my cell tonight my heart is filled with fear The only sound within the room is the falling of each tear. I think about the thing I've done, I know it wasn't right They'll bury Flo tomorrow, but they're hanging me tonight, They're hanging me tonight! That night he came and took my Flo and headed in to town I knew I had to find this man and try to gun him down As I walked by a dim cafe and I looked through the door I saw my Flo with her new love and I couldn't stand no more, I couldn't stand no more. I took my pistol from my hip and with a trembling hand I took the life of pretty Flo and that good for nothin' man That good for nothin' man! I think about the thing I've done I ...

The emptiness that we confess in the dimmest hour of day, in the common town, they make a sound like the low sad moan of prey. The bitter taste, the hidden face of the lost forgotten child, the darkest need, the slowest speed the pattern reconciled. These photographs mean nothing to the poison that they take, before a moments glory the light begins to fade. The outward cost, of all we've lost as we looked the other way, we've paid the price for this cruel device till we have nothing left to pay. the river goes where the current flows the lightning must destroy, events conspire to set a fire with the methods we employ. these dead men walk on water a cold blood runs through their veins, the angry river rises as we step into the rain. These photographs mean nothing to the poison that they take, the angry river rises as we step into the rain.

Take my true love by her hand Lead her through the town Say goodbye to everyone Goodbye to everyone. Had a job a year ago Had a little home Now I've got no place to go Guess I'll have to roam. Every wind that blows boys Every wind that blows Carries me to some new place Heaven only knows. Times are getting hard boys Money's getting scarce Times don't get no better boys Gonna leave this place.

Of all the money that e'er I spent I've spent it in good company, And all the harm I've ever done Alas it was to none but me, And all I've done for want of wit To memory now I can't recall, So fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all. Oh, all the comrades that e'er I had I'm sorry for my going away, And all the sweethearts that e'er I had We'd wish me one more day to stay, But since it falls unto my lot That I should rise and you should not, I'll gently rise and I'll softly call Good night and joy be with you all. If I had money enough to spend And leisure to sit awhile, There is a fair maid in the town That sorely has my heart beguiled, Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips I own she has my heart enthralled, So fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all.

Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone If your time to you Is worth savin' Then you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin'. Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again And don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who That it's namin' For the loser now Will be later to win For the times they are a-changin'. Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway Don't block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled There's a battle outside And it is ragin' It'll soon shake your windows And rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin'. Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And...
