Billy Joel - The River Of Dreams




I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To the river so deep
I must be lookin' for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross

even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and stand on the shore
I try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find what I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
I've been searching for something

Taken out of my soul
Something I'd never lose
Something somebody stole
I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is I've been looking for
(Two beat Pause)
In the middle of the night

I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To the river so deep
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night (break)

I’m not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That is runnin' through the promised land (Long Five beat Pause)

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep

We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night

Right Here Waiting- Richard Marx




Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times


That I though would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now

Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' CrAzY

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you


I'll take the chance

Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' cRaZy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

Bobby Bloom - Montego Bay





Vernon'll meet me When the BO-AC 1 lands.
Keys to the M.G. 2 will be in his hands.

Adjust to the driving, and I'm on my way.
It's all on the right side of Montego Bay.

Sing out.
(Woh, oh-oh, woh-oh, woh-oh, woh-oh-woh.)
(Woh, oh-oh, woh-oh, woh-oh, woh-oh-woh.)
Come sing me loud. (Loud.)
Come sing me ((Montego Bay.))
((Woh, oh-oh, woh-oh, woh-oh, woh-oh-woh.))


And Gillian'll meet me like a brother would.
I think I remember, but it's twice as good.
Like how cool the rum is from a silver tray,
I thirst to be thirsty in Montego Bay.

Sing out.
((Woh, oh-oh, woh-oh, woh-oh, woh-oh-woh.))
((Woh, oh-oh, woh-oh, woh-oh, woh-oh-woh.))
Come sing me loud. (Loud.)

Come sing me ((Montego Bay.))
((Woh, oh-oh, woh-oh, woh-oh, woh-oh-woh.))

[Instrumental break.]

I lay on the lilo 3 till I'm lobster-red,
I still feel the motion here at home in bed
I tell you it's hard for me to stay away,
You ain't been, till you been high, Montego Bay.

Sing out.
((Woh, oh-oh, woh-oh, woh-oh, woh-oh-woh.))
((Woh, oh-oh, woh-oh, woh-oh, woh-oh-woh.))
Come sing me loud. (Loud.)
Come sing me ((Montego Bay.))
((Woh, oh-oh, woh-oh, woh-oh, woh-oh-woh.))

Dance in the streets.

[Short instrumental break.]


Yes, sing me loud. (Loud.)
Come sing me ((Montego Bay.))
((Woh, oh-oh, woh-oh, woh-oh,)) woh-woh...

[Bloom sings the last 4 lines 'a capella' 4 :]

Oh, what a beautiful morning.
Oh, what a beautiful day.
And I got a beautiful feeling.

Everything's going my way.

Merle Haggard Kern River

I'll never swim Kern River again.
It was there that I met her.
It was there that I lost my best friend.
And now I live in the mountains.
I drifted up here with the wind.
And I may drown in still water,

But I'll never swim Kern River again.
I grew up in an oil town,
But my gusher never came in.
And the river was a boundary,
Where my darlin' and I used to swim.
One night in the moonlight,
The swiftness swept her life away.
And now I live on Lake Shasta,
And Lake Shasta is where I will stay.


There's the South San Joaquin,
Where the seeds of the dust bowl are found.
And there's a place called Mount Whitney,
From where the mighty Kern River comes down.
Now, it's not deep nor wide,
But it's a mean piece of water, my friend.
And I may cross on the highway,
But I'll never swim Kern River again.


I'll never swim Kern River again.
It was there that I met her.
It was there that I lost my best friend.
And now I live in the mountains.
I drifted up here with the wind.
And I may drown in still water,
But I'll never swim Kern River again.
Instrumental break.


I'll never swim Kern River again.
An' it was there that I met her.
It was there that I lost my best friend.
Now I live in the mountains.
I drifted up here with the wind.
And I may drown in still water,
But I'll never swim Kern River again.

Phil Phillips - Sea Of Love




Come with me my love
To the sea, the sea of love
I want to tell you
How much I love you

Do you remember when we met
Thats the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you
How much I love you


Come with me
To the sea, of love

Do you remember when we met
Thats the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you
How much I love you

Come with me

To the sea, of love

Do you remember when we met
Thats the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you
How much I love you

I want to tell you
How much I love you
I want to tell you

How much I love you

What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor?


What do you do with a drunken sailor earl-eye in the mornin'?
Way-hey, and up she rises,
Way-hey, and up she rises,
Way-hey, and up she rises, earl-eye in the mornin'!
Shave his belly with a rusty razor,

Shave his belly with a rusty razor,
Shave his belly with a rusty razor earl-eye in the mornin'!
Way-hey, and up she rises,
Way-hey, and up she rises,
Way-hey, and up she rises, earl-eye in the mornin'!
Throw him in the back of the paddy wagon,
Throw him in the back of the paddy wagon,
Throw him in the back of the paddy wagon earl-eye in the mornin'!
Way-hey, and up she rises,

Way-hey, and up she rises,
Way-hey, and up she rises, earl-eye in the mornin'!
What do you do with a drunken sailor,
What do you do with a drunken sailor,
What do you do with a drunken sailor earl-eye in the mornin'?
Way-hey, and up she rises,
Way-hey, and up she rises,
Way-hey, and up she rises, earl-eye in the mornin'!
Throw him in a hole with the captain's daughter,

Throw him in a hole with the captain's daughter,
Throw him in a hole with the captain's daughter earl-eye in the mornin'!
Way-hey, and up she rises,
Way-hey, and up she rises,
Way-hey, and up she rises, earl-eye in the mornin'!
Throw him in the lock-up 'till he's sober,
Throw him in the lock-up 'till he's sober,
Throw him in the lock-up 'till he's sober earl-eye in the mornin'!
Way-hey, and up she rises,

Way-hey, and up she rises,
Way-hey, and up she rises, earl-eye in the mornin'!
Hey!
(Piccolo solo)
Hey!
What do you do with a drunken sailor,
What do you do with a drunken sailor,
What do you do with a drunken sailor earl-eye in the mornin'?
Way-hey, and up she rises,

Way-hey, and up she rises,
Way-hey, and up she rises, earl-eye in the mornin'!
Way-hey, and up she rises,
Way-hey, and up she rises,
Way-hey, and up she rises, earl-eye in the mornin'!
What do you do with a drunken sailor,
What do you do with a drunken sailor,
What do you do with a drunken sailor earl-eye in the mornin'?

Sea Shanties: Santy Anno




Santy Anna gained the day
Away Santy Anno
Santy Anna gained the day
All on the plains of Mexico

Mexico, oh Mexico
Away Santy Anno
Mexico is a place I know
All on the plains of Mexico


Them yaller girls I do adore
Away Santy Anno
With their shinin' eyes and their cold black hair
All on the plains of Mexico

Why do them yaller girls love me so
Away Santy Anno
Because I won't tell them all I know

All on the plains of Mexico

Them Liverpool girls don't use no combs
Away Santy Anno
They combs their hair with a kipper backbone
All on the plains of Mexico

When I was a young man in me prime
Away Santy Anno

I knocked them scouse girls two at a time
All on the plains of Mexico

Times is hard and the wages low
Away Santy Anno
It's time for us to roll and go
All on the plains of Mexico

There’s a port, on a western bay
And it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors, pass the time away
And talk about their homes

And there’s a girl in this harbor town
And she works layin’ whiskey down
They say “Brandy, fetch another round”
She serves them whiskey and wine

The sailors say “Brandy, you’re a fine girl” (you’re a fine girl)
“What a good wife you would be” (such a fine girl)
“Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea”

Brandy wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the North of Spain
A locket that bears the name
Of the man that Brandy loves

He came on a summer’s day
Bringin’ gifts from far away
But he made it clear he couldn’t stay
No harbor was his home

The sailor said “ Brandy, you’re a fine girl” (you’re a fine girl)
“What a good wife you would be” (such a fine girl)
“But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea”

Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes
When he told his sailor stories
She could feel the ocean foam rise
She saw its ragin’ glory
But he had always told the truth, lord, he was an honest man
And Brandy does her best to understand

At night when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent town
And loves a man who’s not around
She still can hear him say

She hears him say “ Brandy, you’re a fine girl” (you’re a fine girl)
“What a good wife you would be” (such a fine girl)
“But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea”

She hears him say “ Brandy, you’re a fine girl” (you’re a fine girl)
“What a good wife you would be” (such a fine girl)
“But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea”
