Deserted Cities Of The Heart
Composer(s): Jack Bruce - Pete Brown
Performer(s): Cream
and multiple other artists
Upon this street where time has died
The golden treat you never tried
In times of old, in days gone by
If I could catch your dancing eye
It was on the way
On the road to dreams, yeah
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah
The street is cold, its trees are gone
The story's told the dark has won
Once we set sail to catch a star
We had to fail, it was too far
It was on the way
On the road to dreams, yeah
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah
I felt the wind shout like a drum
You said, "My friend, love's end has come"
It couldn't last, had to stop
You drained it all to the last drop
It was on the way
On the road to dreams, yeah
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah
On this dark street the sun is black
The winter life is coming back
On this dark street it's cold inside
There's no retreat from time that's died
It was on the way
On the road to dreams
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah
Now my heart's drowned in no love
First Taste Of Love Composer(s): Doc Pomus - Phil Spector Performer(s): Ben E. King & The Drifters
Mmm, the very first time you kissed me it was so thrilling What made it so great was I knew that your heart was willing I never thought that I'd give love a try Then you came a-walking by and gave me my first taste of love
Mmm, the very first time you held me it was so nice I finally found this place they call paradise Oh, I was such a sad and lonely guy Then you came a-walking by and gave me my first taste of love
Your lips upon my lips, your arms around my waist How can I forget that first date ...
Mmm, so keep your head on my shoulder Stay real close, baby, don't let go Don't think of tomorrow let's live for tonight Because I love you so You see that love light gleaming in my eyes Swear it's gonna never die 'Cause I've got my first taste of love
Swear it's gonna never die 'Cause I've got my first taste of love Swear it's gonna never die 'Cause I've got my first taste of love Swear it's gonna never die 'Cause I've got my first taste of love

Desert Pete
Composer(s): Billy Edd Wheeler
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio
and multiple other artists
I was travellin' West a buckskin on my way to a cattle run Cross a little cactus desert under a hot blisterin' sun I was thirsty down to my toenails, stopped to rest me on a stump But I tell ya I just couldn't believe it when I saw that water pump I took it to be a mirage at first, it'll fool a thirsty man Then I saw a note stuck in a bakin' powder can "This pump is old", the note began, "but she works so give'r a try" "I put a new sucker washer in 'er, you may find the leather dry"
"You've got to prime the pump, you must have faith and believe" "You've got to give of yourself 'fore you're worthy to receive" "Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet" "Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete"
"Yeah, you'll have to prime the pump, work that handle like there's a fire" "Under that rock you'll find some water I left in a bitters jar" "Now there's just enough to prime it with so dontcha go drinkin' first" "You just pour it in and pump like mad, buddy, you'll quench your thirst"
"You've got to prime the pump, you must have faith and believe" "You've got to give of yourself 'fore you're worthy to receive" "Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet" "Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete"
Well I found that jar and I tell ya nothin' was ever prettier to my eye And I was tempted strong to drink it, cuz that pump looked mighty dry But the note went on "have faith my friend, there's water down below" "You got to give until you get-I'm the one who ought to know" So I poured in the jar and I started pumpin' and I heard a beautiful sound Of water bubblin' and splashin' up outta that hole in the ground I took off my shoes and I drunk my fill of that cool refreshing treat I thank the Lord and thank the pump and I thank old Desert Pete
"You've got to prime the pump, you must have faith and believe" "You've got to give of yourself 'fore you're worthy to receive" "Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet" "Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete"
"Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet" "Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete"

Desert Moon Composer(s): Dennis DeYoung Performer(s): Dennis DeYoung
"Is this the train to Desert Moon?" was all she said But I knew I'd heard that stranger's voice before I turned to look into her eyes, but she moved away She was standing in the rain Trying hard to speak my name They say first love never runs dry
The waiter poured our memories into tiny cups We stumbled over words we longed to hear We talked about the dreams we'd lost, or given up When a whistle cut the night And shook silence from our lives As the last train rolled towards the dune
Those summer nights when we were young We bragged of things we'd never done We were dreamers, only dreamers And in our haste to grow too soon We left our innocence on Desert Moon We were dreamers, only dreamers On Desert Moon, on Desert Moon On Desert Moon, Desert Moon
I still can hear the whisper of the summer night It echoes in the corners of my heart The night we stood and waited for the desert train All the words we meant to say All the chances swept away Still remain on the road to the dune
Those summer nights when we were young We bragged of things we'd never done We were dreamers, only dreamers Moments pass, and time moves on But dreams remain for just as long As there's dreamers, all the dreamers On Desert Moon, on Desert Moon On Desert Moon, Desert Moon
Anything Is Nice If It Comes From Dixieland Composer(s): Milton Ager - Grant Clarke - George W. Meyer Performer(s): Johnny Maddox
Every winter you will notice that the birdies in the sky To the south will always fly Now perhaps you're wondering why It's a land of sunshine And the only place a real wise bird should be There's a lot of good things waiting there For you and me
Dixie, Dixie is a garden far away from snow and ice It's a perfect paradise And the home of everything nice Everybody loves it 'Cause they know about it's many different charms Like a mother she will welcome you With open arms
Just to make our clothes the cotton grows In dear old Alabam Each hungry mouth looks to the South For sweet Virginia ham From Tennessee comes melody That's played by ev'ry band And if you're talking of chicken Oh, Maryland! Louisiana sugar is sweeter than the rose Just thank old Carolina That's where the Bull Durham grows If you're dreaming of a girl to love That's the place to win her hand Take my advice Anything is nice If it comes from Dixieland
Deseo Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Desea es el uno deseo es la idea deseo es el surco que deja una estrella Deseo es espejo deseo es enigma deseo es el verbo que engendra la vida Deseo es la pregunta que no tiene respuesta deseo, deseo deseo es... deseo es... ese amor que no quiere ser un sentimiento si no es para observarse en el conocimiento deseo es... deseo es... Deseo es eterno deseo es principio deseo es encuentro en el infinito Deseo es el fuego deseo es el rayo deseo es el beso de signos contrarios Deseo es la pregunta...
Wenn Erst Der Abend Kommt Performer(s): Peter Alexander & Karl Loubebr>
Wenn erst der Abend kommt und wenn es dunkel wird dann bist du immer so allein Dann wird das Herz dir eng und du hast Angst davor es könnt dein Leben dann so sein Ich hab' es nie dir gesagt doch mir geht's grade so wie dir
Und wenn eine Tür geht dann bild' ich mir ein du könnt'st es sein Wenn erst der Abend und wenn es dunkel wird dann tritt dein Schatten zu mir ein Das Leben rings um mich her das ist so fremd mir und so feind doch wenn eine Tür geht dann bild' ich mir ein du könnt'st es sein Wenn erst der Abend kommt und wenn es dunkel wird dann bin ich immer so allein
Deseo Composer(s): Pedro Guera Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto; Pedro Guerra
Te seguiré hasta el final te buscaré en todas partes bajo la luz de la sombra en los dibujos del aire Te seguiré hasta el final te pediré de rodillas que te desnudes amor te mostraré mis heridas
Y con las luces del alba antes que todos despierten se hará ceniza el deseo me marcharé para siempre
Te seguiré hasta el final entre los musgos del bosque te pediré tantas veces que hagamos nuestra la noche Te seguiré hasta el final con el tesón del acero te buscaré por la lluvia para mojarme en tu beso
Y con las luces del alba antes que todos despierten se hará ceniza el deseo me marcharé para siempre

Desencontro Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque; and various other artists
A sua lembrança me dói tanto Eu canto pra ver Se espanto esse mal Mas só sei dizer Um verso banal Fala em você Canta você É sempre igual
Sobrou desse nosso desencontro Um conto de amor Sem porto final Retrato sem cor Jogado aos meus pés E saudades fúteis Saudades frágeis Meros papéis
Não sei se você ainda é a mesma Ou se cortou os cabelos Rasgou o que é meu Se ainda tem saudades E sofre como eu Ou tudo já passou Já tem um novo amor Já me esqueceu

Desden
Composer(s): Carlos Gardel - Mario Battistella
Performer(s): Carlos Gardel; Rozenda Bernal; Mayel Varrera
El día que comparezcas ante el tribunal de Dios a dar cuenta de mi vida que me complicaste vos el día que francamente tenga yo que declarar la verdad pura y palpable que a Dios no puede escapar y le digas que he faltado a su Ley de mala fe al hacer de vos mi culto al amarte más que a Él que robé por tu cariño que maté ciego de amor ¡Pueda ser que el Dios piadoso quiera darme su perdón!
Desdeñé mi vida entera en la hoguera de tu amor esperando lo que fuera sin decirte ni siquiera que es mi pena y mi dolor Sin embargo ante el Eterno será el mismo mi desdén y en mi amor profundo y tierno por seguirte hasta el Infierno yo despreciaré el Edén
Pero el día de tu juicio yo no sé qué le dirás cuando sepan que has pecado por capricho y vanidad cuando sientas la mirada penetrante del Señor que te llegará hasta el alma como un rayo escrutador y te acuse tu conciencia al mirar aquel puñal que vos misma tan cobarde le entregaste a mi rival que, no contenta con eso me mandaste a la prisión ¡Por más que vos te arrepientas no podrás tener perdón!
