In a foreign land
There were creatures at play
Running hand in hand
Leading nowhere to stay
Driven to the mountains high
They were sunken
in the cities deep
Livin' in my sleep.
I feel like goin' back
Back where
there's nowhere to stay
When fire fills the sky
I'll still remember that day
These rocks I'm climbin' down
Have already left the ground
Careening through space.
I used to build these buildings
I used to walk next to you
Their shadows tore us apart
And now we do what we do
Driven to the mountains high
Sunken in the cities deep
Livin' in our sleep.
I feel like goin' back
Back where
there's nowhere to stay.

Comes a time
when you're driftin'
Comes a time
when you settle down
Comes a light
feelin's liftin'
Lift that baby
right up off the ground.
Oh, this old world
keeps spinning round
It's a wonder tall trees
ain't layin' down
There comes a time.
You and I we were captured
We took our souls
and we flew away
We were right
we were giving
That's how we kept
what we gave away.
Oh, this old world
keeps spinning round
It's a wonder tall trees
ain't layin' down
There comes a time.

There's a lot to learn
For wastin' time
There's a heart that burns
There's an open mind.
Look out for my love,
look out for my love
Look out for my love,
look out for my love
You own it
You own it now
You own it.
There's a weight on you
But you can't feel it
Livin' like I do
It's hard for you to see it.
Was I hurt too bad
Can I show you daylight
How could I be sad
When I know that you might.
Look out for my love,
look out for my love
Look out for my love,
look out for my love.
Look out for my love
It's in your neighborhood
I know things are gonna change
But I can't say bad or good.
Silver wings of mornin'
Shinin' in the gray day
While the ice is formin'
On a lonely runway.
Hydraulic wipers pumpin'
'Til the window glistens
Somethin' sayin' somethin'
No one seems to listen.
Men with walkie-talkies
Men with flashlights wavin'
Up upon the tower
Time reads daylight savings.
I'm home again to you babe
You know it makes me wonder
Sittin' in the quiet slipstream
In the thunder.
Look out for my love,
look out for my love
Look out for my love,
look out for my love.

It's gonna take a lotta love
To change the way things are.
It's gonna take a lotta love
Or we won't get too far.
So if you look in my direction
And we don't see eye to eye,
My heart needs protection
And so do I.
It's gonna take a lotta love
To get us thru the night.
It's gonna take a lotta love
To make things work out right.
So if you are out there waitin'
I hope you show up soon,
'Cause my heart needs relatin'
Not solitude.
Gotta lotta love
Gotta lotta love.
It's gonna take a lotta love
To change the way things are.
It's gonna take a lotta love
Or we won't get too far.
It's gonna take a lotta love
To change the way things are.
It's gonna take a lotta love
Or we won't get too far.

You know it takes
a long, long time
You know it takes
a long, long time
You love her so
and still you know
That you will never
want to let her go
Unless you leave her first
Then you come out on top
But, still
there's just one thing
You haven't got.
Peace of mind
Like when you treated her kind
It's hard to face
that open space.
You know it takes
a long, long time
You know it takes
a long, long time
When first you gave
and shared your soul
Showed her all those things
that take their toll
She knows your weak spot
But, she still gets you hot
So you do it again
Reveal what lies within.
And go for peace of mind
Like when you treated her kind
It's hard to face
that open space.
You're lookin' for
peace of mind
Anywhere you can find
Still searchin' for
peace of mind.
You know it takes
a long, long time
You know it takes
a long, long time.

I come down
from the misty mountain
I got lost
on the human highway
Take my head
refreshing fountain
Take my eyes
from what they've seen.
Take my head
and change my mind
How could people
get so unkind.
I come down
from the crooked mansion
I went lookin'
for the D.J.'s daughter
Since that day
I heard it mentioned
That my name is on the line.
Now, my name is on the line
How could people
get so unkind.
Now, my name is on the line
How could people
get so unkind.
I come down
from the misty mountain
I got lost
on the human highway
Take my head
refreshing fountain
Take my eyes
from what they've seen.
Take my head
and change my mind
How could people
get so unkind.

What can I do, what can I say
Running down
this suspicious highway
I can't forget
how love let me down
And when we meet
it still gets in my way.
But we're already one
Already one
Now only time can come between us
'Cause we're already one
Our little son won't let us forget.
Your laughing eyes,
your crazy smile
Every time I look in his face
I can't believe
how love lasts a while
And looks like
"forever" in the first place.
But we're already one
Already one
Now only time can come between us
'Cause we're already one
Our little son won't let us forget.
In my new life I'm travelin' light
Eyes wide open for the next move
I can't go wrong 'til I get right
But I'm not
fallin' back in the same groove.
But we're already one
Already one
Now only time can come between us
'Cause we're already one
Our little son won't let us forget.

I've been wrong before
And I'll be there again
I don't have
any answers my friend
Just this pile of old questions
My memory left me here
In the field of opportunity
It's plowin' time again.
I'm going' back to my house
But I'm not goin' now
It's too early
to be leaving here, somehow
Let me bore you with this story
"How my lover let me down"
While I borrow seeds of sadness
From the ground.
In the field of opportunity
It's plowin' time again.
There ain't no way of telling
Where these seeds
will rise or when
I'll just wait
around 'til springtime
And then, I'll find a friend
In the field of opportunity
It's plowin' time again.
When I'm all done cultivatin'
I'll be rockin' on the porch
Tryin' to picture
you and where you are
And there'll be no hesitatin'
When Cupid lights the torch
With those headlights
comin' down the hill
Between the stars.
In the field of opportunity
It's plowin' time again.
There ain't no way of telling
Where these seeds
will rise or when
I'll just wait
around 'til springtime
And then, I'll find a friend
In the field of opportunity
It's plowin' time again.

Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
I always get in trouble
when you bring it round
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay it down.
I'm runnin',
I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
Down the proud highway
Yeah, I'm runnin',
I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
Down the proud highway
And as long as I keep movin'
I won't need a place to stay.
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
I always get in trouble
when you bring that round
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay it down.
Well I'm here to deliver
I hope you can read my mail
I just escaped last night
From the memory county jail
I see your box is open
And you flag is up
My message is ready
If there's time enough.
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
I always get in trouble
when you bring it round
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay it down.

Four strong winds that blow lonely, Seven seas that run high,
All these things that don't change, Come what may.
But our good times are all gone,
And I'm bound for moving on.
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.
Think I'll go out to Alberta,
Weather's good there in the fall.
Got some friends that I can go to working for,
Still I wish you'd change your mind
If I asked you one more time,
But we've been through that a hundred times or more.
If I get there before the snow flies,
And if things are going good,
You could meet me if I send you down the fare.
But if you wait until it's winter,
It will be no good
'Cause that wind sure can blow way out there.
