A Sort Of Homecoming
Composer(s): Bono - U2
Performer(s): U2



And you know it's time to go
Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning
Light in the distance

And you hunger for the time
Time to heal, desire, time
And your earth moves beneath
Your own dream landscape

Oh, oh, oh...
On borderland we run...

I'll be there
I'll be there...
Tonight
A high road
A high road out from here

The city walls are all come down
The dust, a smoke screen all around
See faces ploughed like fields that once
Gave no resistance

And we live by the side of the road
On the side of a hill 
As the valley explode
Dislocated, suffocated
The land grows weary of its own

Oh, oh, oh...on borderland we run...
And still we run
We run and don't look back
I'll be there
I'll be there
Tonight
Tonight

I'll be there tonight...I believe
I'll be there...somehow
I'll be there...tonight
Tonight

The wind will crack in winter time
This bomb-blast lightning waltz
No spoken words, just a scream...

Tonight we'll build a bridge 
Across the sea and land
See the sky, the burning rain
She will die and live again
Tonight

And your heart beats so slow
Through the rain and fallen snow
Across the fields of mourning
Light's in the distance

Oh don't sorrow, no don't weep
For tonight, at last
I am coming home
I am coming home 

Walk Away From Love
Composer(s): Charles Kipps
Performer(s): David Ruffin;
and various other artists



(I'm gonna walk away from a love)
(gonna walk away, gonna walk away)
(I'm gonna walk away from a love)
(gonna walk away, gonna walk away)
(gonna walk away, gonna walk away)

It's not that I don't love you
You know how much I do
And it's not that I've found someone
To take the place of you

It's just the fear that lives within me
Everytime you touch my hand
And a dread that shakes my body
That even I don't understand

So I'm leaving
(I'm leaving, yes I am)
This time I'm playin' it smart
(I'm leaving, yes I am)
I'm gonna walk away from a love
(walk away from love)
Before love breaks my heart

(I'm gonna walk away from a love)
(gonna walk away, gonna walk away)
(gonna walk away, gonna walk away)

Ooh, you're clinging to me tighter
Then you ever have before, I don't understand it
But I know it's gonna take everything I got
To keep walkin' out the door

But those arms you got around me
We'll let me go someday
And I'd rather leave you holding on
Than pushing me away

So I'm leaving
(I'm leaving, yes I am)
This time I'm playin' it smart
(I'm leaving, yes I am)
I'm gonna walk away from a love
(walk away from love)
Before love breaks my heart

(I'm gonna walk away from a love)
(gonna walk away, gonna walk away)
Oh baby
It's not that I don't want you,
You know how much I do, oh baby
(I'm gonna walk away from a love)
(gonna walk away, gonna walk away)
(gonna walk away, gonna walk away)
I'm leaving, baby
(I'm gonna walk away from a love)
(gonna walk away, gonna walk away)
This time I'm playin' it smart
Oh, don't break my heart
(gonna walk away, gonna walk away)
Oh, I'm walkin' away baby
(I'm gonna walk away from a love)
(gonna walk away, gonna walk away)

A Song To Mama
Composer(s): Helen Carter - June Carter Cash - Glenn Phillip Jones
Performer(s): The Carter Family



Dear, dear Mama, now that we're older
We can see the load on your tired old shoulders
Mama you're a trooper, Mama you're a soldier
Mama, you mean a lot to me

She always got me out of bed early Sunday morn'
And took me out to church where I could learn about Lord
Mama tried to tell me how my life was gonna be
But I was young and wild, and it was hard for me to see

Dear Mama, now that we're older
We can see the load on your tired old shoulders
Mama you're a trooper, Mama you're a soldier
Mama, you mean a lot to me

(Mama, you always taught me right from wrong when I was growin' up
And it's a pity that most people like me have to try everything for themselves
I realize now that you always knew just what you were talkin' about
And mama for all that hard work you did
And for the sacrifices you made for us
I just wanna say, thanks a lot)

Dear Mama, now that we are older
We can see the load on your tired old shoulders
Mama you're a trooper, Mama you're a soldier
Mama, you mean a lot to me
Mama, you mean a lot to me

Walk Away 
Composer(s): Elmer Bernstein; Carolyn Leigh
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists



Walk away, please go 
Before you throw your life away 
A life that I could share for just a day 
We should have met some years ago 
For your sake I say 
Walk away, just go 

Walk away, and live 
A life that's full 
With no regret 
Don't look back at me 
Just try to forget 
Why build a dream that cannot come true 
So be strong, reach the stars now 
Walk away, walk on 

If I heard your voice 
I'd beg you to stay 
So don't say a word 
Just run, run away 

Goodbye my love 
My tears will fall 
Now that you've gone 
I can't help but cry 
But I must go on 
I'm sad that I have been searching so long 
You, I love you but told you 
Walk away, walk on, walk on

Song I'd Like To Sing
Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson
Performer(s): Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge



(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na....)
There's a song I'd like to sing
Do you know the song I mean?
It don't always sound the same
But it's always good to sing
Maybe it don't mean a thing
It's a pretty little tune
It's a song I'd like to sing
And I'd love to sing with you
And we can get to know each other
Like a sister and a brother
Like a father and a mother
Like a woman and a man
We can sing along together
Just enyoying 'til it's over
It don't need to last forever
If we want it to it can

(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na....)

Walk And Talk It
Composer(s): Lou Reed
Performer(s): Lou Reed



I got horrors in my luney tunes
I got dreams and you do, too
I got ten wheel drive, pick you up into your ears

I got retake carbine and in my eyelids gear
I got no one to love and no one to fear

You better walk it, and talk it less you loose that beat
You better loose yourself, mama
And rock yourself right off of your feet

If you're moving too fast, don't you want it to last
You better walk it, talk it
You better walk it as you talk less you loose that beat

I got dimes in my shoes, real nice
I got bells that are laid on ice
I got dreams, let me mix it with a little gin

I got cruel when I told you woman, I'm hard
But me is the one thing baby, you ain't got

You better walk it, and talk it less you loose that beat
You better loose yourself, mama
And rock yourself right off of your feet

Yeah, if you're moving too fast, don't you want it to last
You better walk it, talk it
You better walk it as you talk less you loose that beat

You better walk it, and talk it less you loose that beat
You better loose yourself, mama
And rock yourself right off of your feet

Yeah, if you're moving too fast, now don't you want it to last
You better walk it, talk it
You better walk it as you talk less you loose that beat
Ah - ha - ha

A Song For You
((Italian Version: Quasi Come Musica (by Mina) - 1975))
Composer(s): Leon Russell
First release by: Leon Russell - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darlin' can't you please see through me
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
We were alone and I was singing this song for you

When you walk, you know you're gonna walk alone
When you talk, you're always gonna talk alone
All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna talk alone
All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna talk alone 
When you make love, you know you're gonna love it alone
Yeah when you make love, you know you're gonna love it alone
All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna love it alone
All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna love it alone 

Honey when you die, you know you're gonna die alone
When you die, you know you're gonna die alone
All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna die alone
All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna die alone 

When you dream, you know you're gonna dream alone
When you dream, in your mind all alone
All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna do it alone
All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna do it alone

Quasi Come Musica
((Adapted from: A Song For You (by Leon Russell) - 1970))
Composer(s): Leon Russell - Daiano - Gino Paoli
Performer(s): Mina - 1975



Se fossi solamente
un'abitudine
il caldo che ti resta
dopo che il sole va
e nuvole che il vento unisce
la sbronza che non può passare
potrei davvero io
non amarti più
Se fossi come un sogno
che non ricordi più
fiore dentro il libro
di matematica
la quiete dopo la tempesta
stanca fine di una festa
potrei davvero io non amarti più
Ma tu non sei mai niente
non somigli proprio a niente
sei fatto per me
ma non so come
Sei sempre molto meglio
di quel che mi viene in mente
quasi come musica
La tua vita sì è insieme a me
Ma non so come dire
quello che c'è tra noi
cercando posso dire
le frasi che tu vuoi
ma non sarà abbastanza
io non so proprio vivere senza
quasi una musica
la vita insieme a te
Quasi una musica
la vita insieme a te

Walk A Thin Line
Composer(s): Lindsey Buckingham
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac;
Mick Fleetwood; Reservoir



I've seen so many things that made me wonder
But sometimes it's hard to tell
I said, "Take your time"
But no one was listening
I walk a thin line

They told me that I never would recover
Still some say they knew me well
I said, "Stay by my side"
But no one said nothin'
I walk a thin line

I said, "Please toe the line"
But no one was listening
I walk a thin line

I said, "Fate takes time"
But no one was listening
I walk a thin line

A Song For You
Performer(s): Julie London



Now I know, how it feels when you walk out that door
Now I know,how it feels when you don't love me… anymore
I don't care if this is what is meant to be
I don't care, as long as you come back… to me

Oeee… I have to
But I don't want to
I just have to
(And I need to)
Sing a little song for you…
Sing a little song,sing a little song for you…

Now I know,how it feels when someone's givin up on you
Now I know,how it feels when you don't care about the thinks I do
I had hoped,hoped you would always be near
But I'll go, go for whatever's meant to be…

Oeee… I have to
But I don't want to
I just have to
(And I need to)
Sing a little song for you…
Sing a little song, sing a little song for you…

Oh listen than here's my voice
Listen what I've got to say
Other think than there's another choise
But to sing my troubles away
And try to live my life day after day
I'm singin my troubles away
And try to live my life day after day

Should I go
Should I go

Is there anyone, to sing a little song for me…?

Walk A Mile In My Shoes
Composer(s): Joe South
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



If I could be you, if you could be me
For just one hour, if we could find a way
To get inside each other's mind
If you could see you through my eyes
Instead your own ego I believe you'd be
I believe you'd be surprised to see
That you've been blind

Walk a mile in my shoes
just walk a mile in my shoes
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Then walk a mile in my shoes

Now if we spend the day
Throwin' stones at one another
'Cause I don't think, 'cause I don't think
Or wear my hair the same way you do
Well, I may be common people
But I'm your brother
And when you strike out
You're tryin' to hurt me
It's hurtin' you, Lord how mercy

Now there are people on reservations
And out in the ghetto
And brother there, but, for the grace of God
Go you and I, 
If I only had wings of a little angel
Don't you know, I'd fly
To the top of a mountain
And then I'd cry, cry, cry

A Song For You
Composer(s): Gram Parsons
First release by: Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris - 1972



Oh my land is like a wild goose
Wanders all around everywhere
Trembles and it shakes till every tree is loose
It rolls the meadows and it rolls the nails
So take me down to your dance floor
And I wont mind the people when they stare
Paint a different color on your front door
And tomorrow we will still be there

Jesus built a ship to sing a song to
It sails the rivers and it sails the tide
Some of my friends don't know who they belong to
Some can't get a single thing to work inside
So take me down to your dance floor
And I wont mind the people when they stare
Paint a different color on your front door
And tomorrow we will still be there

I loved you every day and now I'm leaving
And I can see the sorrow in your eyes
I hope you know a lot more than you're believing
Just so the sun don't hurt ou when you cry
So take me down to your dance floor
And I wont mind the people when they stare
Paint a different color on your front door
And tomorrow we will still be there
And tomorrow we will still be there

Wako-Shaman
Composer(s): Miguel Bosé; Ross Cullum;
Sandy McLelland; Andy Ross; Toulson-Clarke
Performer(s): Miguel Bosé



Érase una vez un sabio que
Dijo ser profeta y guardar
El Secreto Poder
Que quisieras tener
Era el Gran Shaman

Era un mago de la tribu Babel
Tigre-halcón en otra vida fue
Y era el Hombre- sol
Que entre el Bien y el mal
Se hizo con la Verdad

Wako Shaman
Háblame de otro mañana
Wako Shaman
Nueva Era cambiare
Wako Shaman
Todo el oro de mi alma

Leyó el Canto de los Pájaros
Habló de algún camino Kármico...
"Quién no quiera oír
no se ha de salvar
en la Hora Final... 

Esta tierra así tan única
que es dominio de los Bárbaros
antes o después
se tendrá que romper 
y no va a tardar..." 

Por el Tótem Sagrado
Mi promesa cumpliré
A otros tiempos antiguos 
Viajaría, volvería
Y con al Ciencia aprendida
Madre Tierra déjame
Que te cuide como sé
Que te quiera como sé... 

Y ante mil Burdos Babilónicos
Como vino, desapareció
Y el planeta tembló...
Un gran fuego arrasó
Con quien no quiso escuchar...

A Song For While I'm Away
Composer(s): Phil Lynott
Performer(s): Thin Lizzy



These words I wrote, play and sing to you
Do not convey the love I brought and bring to you
For this is a song for while I'm away
To say all the things I'd love to say

You are my life, my everything, you're all I have
You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true
You're all I have
Please heed me now these words I have to say

Now I'm headed for the border
You see this song it ends right at the start
I swore when I was younger
No one would win my heart

And far away hills look greener still
But soon they'll all slip away
It's then I'll be returning
And I'll be coming home to stay

You are my life, my everything, you're all I have
You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true
You're all I have
Please heed me now these words I have to say 

Wake Up, Irene
Composer(s): Weldon Allard; Johnny Hathcock
Performer(s): Hank Thompson;
The Maddox Brothers & Rose



For months and months and months around the country
Everybody sang Irene goodnight
But she wouldn't go to bed no matter what they said 
Though everybody tried with all their might
She stayed awake while steel guitars were a going
In every honky-tonk she could be seen
But she finally went to bed and covered up her head 
And now there's not a thing can wake Irene

Wake up Irene you've slept too long 
Wake up Irene it's time to move along
Wake up Irene and pay for your bed 
Wake up Irene or folks will think your dead

Lot's of guitar pickers by the dozen 
Sang goodnight Irene all night and day
And even Crosby too with his bobobabobedo 
Tried to get Irene to hit the hay
Well I guess they finally sang her off to slumber
They must have tried a million times or more
But oh my aching back when she finally hit the sack 
Man you ought to hear that women snore

Wake up Irene you've slept too long 
Wake up Irene it's time to move along
Wake up Irene and pay for your bed 
Wake up Irene or folks will think your dead

A Song For Suzanne
Composer(s): Dennis DeYoung
Performer(s): Styx



Chanson, Suzanne
chanson, Suzanne
chanson, Suzanne
chanson, Suzanne

I'm just a man
please let me
sing my song

it's been ten years
since I met you
and I first held your hand

my Suzanne

that summer night
we dreamed of
days to come

I held you there
beside me
we carved the wishing tree

and then
we played the part of lovers
on that summer night

we played the part of lovers
you gave all your love and you made it seem right
you made me a man oh so young in my life

one simple verse
like the words in a play
you spoke your lines 
and I knew I must stay
oh I must stay

now we are free
and we are growing old
the wishing tree still stands there
and shades our memories

of when
we played the part of lovers
on that summer night

we played the part of lovers
you gave all your love and you made it seem right
you made me a man oh so young in my life

Wake Up Sunshine
Composer(s): Robert Lamm
Performer(s): Chicago



Wake up sunshine
Open up your sleepy eyes for me
Can't have you hidin'
I've been waiting all the night
People waiting for the light
Sunshine, sunshine

Wake up sunshine
Let me feel your warm sunlight on me
Can't have you hidin'
Night was long and night was cold
But today we're one day older
Sunshine, you make my life sunshine

You know I'm talkin' to you
I know you're knowin' it too
So just stop hidin' your face
Just open your eyes
Just smile your smile
I'm talkin' to you

Wake up sunshine
Ooh, it's good to have you here with me
Can't have you hidin'
Can't imagine what I'd do
But feel too lonely without you
Sunshine, sunshine
You got to wake up girl
And face the day ahead

Song For Me
Composer(s): Dave Cousins - Brian Willoughby
Performer(s): Dave Cousins



Once I was a minstrel boy, I sang just like a bird
I used to trade in memories, I relived every word
But the galleries are empty now, the crowds have all gone home
I locked away my songs, I sang them on my own
I sang them on my own

Now those who walk behind me have heard it all before
They knew the many reasons I screwed them like some whore
Like jumped-up jacks of all trades they walked with fettered legs
And wondered where the tent went when I pulled out all the pegs
I pulled out all the pegs

This song is sung for me
This song is sung for me
This song is sung for me
This song is sung for me
This song is sung for me

The peaceful queen of platitudes sat resting on his throne
His laurel wreath was slipping as he retrieved his buried bone
Ah but I had got there sooner, I had chewed away the fat
While he slept in the gutter, I slept on the mat
I slept on the mat

This song is sung for me
This song is sung for me
This song is sung for me
This song is sung for me
This song is sung for me
This song is sung for me
This song is sung for me

Wake Up Little Susie 
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant; Felice Bryant
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers



Wake up, little Susie, wake up 
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
We’ve both been sound asleep, wake up, little Susie, and weep 
The movie’s over, it’s four o’clock, and we’re in trouble deep 
Wake up little Susie 
Wake up little Susie, well 

What are we gonna tell your mama 
What are we gonna tell your pa 
What are we gonna tell our friends when they say 'ooh-la-la' 
Wake up little Susie 
Wake up little Susie, well 

I told your mama that you’d be in by ten 
Well Susie baby looks like we goofed again 
Wake up little Susie 
Wake up little Susie, we got to go home 

Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
The movie wasn’t so hot, it didn’t have much of a plot 
We fell asleep, our goose is cooked, our reputation is shot 
Wake up little Susie 
Wake up little Susie, well 

What are we gonna tell your mama 
What are we gonna tell your pa 
What are we gonna tell our friends when they say 'ooh-la-la' 
Wake up little Susie 
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie
