In through the outdoor

In the evening, When the day is done 

I'm looking for a woman, but the girl don't come 

So don't let her, Play you for a fool 

She don't show no pity baby, she don't make no rules 



*Chorus: Oh, oh, I need your love, I need your love 

Oh, I need your love, I just got to have 



So don't you let her, Oh, get under your skin 

It's only bad luck and trouble, From the day that you begin 

I hear you crying in the darkness, Don't ask nobody's help 

Ain't no pockets full of mercy baby, Cause you can only blame yourself 



Chorus 



Oh it's simple, All the pain that you go through 

You can turn away from fortune, fortune, Cause that's all that's left to you 

It's lonely at the bottom, Man, it's dizzy at the top 

But if you're standing in the middle, Ain't no way you're gonna stop 



Chorus 



Oh whatever that your days may bring 

No use hiding in a corner, Cause that won't change a thing 

If you're dancing in the doldrums, One day soon, it's got to stop, it's got to stop 

When you're the master of the off-chance, When you don't expect a lot 



Chorus

Baby, when you walk that sweet walk 

Oh, you walk it good, yes you walk it good 

Baby, when you talk that sweet talk 

Oh, it sounds so good, oh so good 



With a little bit of concentration 

And a little bit of helpin' hands, yeah 

And a little bit of raving madness 

You know it makes me feel, baby 

Both my feet are back on the ground 



And when the rhythm takes me 

It feels so good, oh so goodv Baby if it keeps a-shaking 

It will do you good, oh so much good 



With a little bit of stop-a-shakin' shakin' 

And a little bit of ?fly right down? 

And a little bit of sweet con-carne 

It makes me feel, makes me feel 

I got my feet on the ground 



Ooh now baby, when you move it makes me 

Really feel so good, oh so good 

And I'm so glad, so glad, so glad, so glad 

And I'm good, oh, so good 

With a little bit of concentration 

And a little bit of helping hand 

And a little bit of ?saving madness? 

You know it makes me feel, baby 

I'm back on the ground oh yes, sure does 

It makes me feel back on the ground. 



I'm feelin' good child! 

Down on the ground. 

Sha la la la...

Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining 

Like a star that can't wait for the night 

I hate to think I've been blinded baby 

Why can't I see you tonight? 



And the warmth of your smile starts a-burnin' 

And the thrill of your touch gives me fright 

And I'm shaking so much, really yearning 

Why don't you show up, make it all right? 

Yeah, it's all right. 



And if you promised you'd love so completely 

and you said you would always be true 

You swore that you would never leave me, baby: 

What ever happened to you? 



And you thought it was only in movies 

As you wish all your dreams would come true 

It ain't the first time believe me, baby 

I'm standin here feeling blue 

Yeah I'm blue 



Now I will stand in the rain on the corner 

I'll watch the people go shuffling downtown 

Another ten minutes no longer 

And then I'm turning around 



The clock on the wall's moving slower 

My heart it sinks to the ground 

And the storm that I thought would blow over 

Clouds the light of the love that I found 



Now my body is starting to quiver 

And the palms of my hands getting wet 

I've got no reason to doubt you baby, 

It's all a terrible mess 



I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless 

When I'm breathless I'll run till I drop, hey 

The thoughts of a fool's kind of careless 

I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah 

Light of the love that I found...

Well I just got into town today 

To find my girl who's gone away 

She took the Greyhound at the General Store 

I searched myself I searched the town 

When I finally did sit down 

I find myself no wiser than before 



She said we couldn't do no wrong 

No other love could be so strong 

She locked up my heart in her bottom drawer 

Now she took my heart she took my keys 

From in my old blue dungarees 

And I'll never go to Texas anymore 



* Chorus: Now my baby's gone I don't know what to do 

She took my love and walked right out the door 

And if I ever find that girl I know one thing for sure 

I'm gonna give her something like she never had before 



I took her love at seventeen 

A little late these days it seems 

But they said heaven is well worth waiting for 

I took her word I took it all 

Beneath the sign that said "U-haul" 

She left angels hangin round for more 



Chorus 



I thought I had it all sewn up 

Our love, a plot, a pick-up truck 

But folks said she was after something more 

I never did quite understand 

All that talk about rockin' bands 

But they just rolled my doll right out the door 

Oh yeah, they just rolled my doll right out the door!

Sisters of the way-side bide their time in quiet peace, 

Await their place within the ring of calm; 

Still stand to turn in seconds of release, 

Await the call they know may never come. 

In times of lightness, no intruder dared upon 

To jeopardize the course, upset the run; 

And all was joy and hands were raised toward the sun 

As love in the halls of plenty overrun. 



Still in their bliss unchallenged mighty feast, 

Unending dances shadowed on the day. 

Within their walls, their daunting formless keep, 

Preserved their joy and kept their doubts at bay. 

Faceless legions stood in readiness to weep, 

Just turn a coin, bring order to the fray; 

And everything is soon no sooner thought than deed, 

But no one seemed to question in anyway. 



How keen the storied hunter's eye prevails upon the land 

To seek the unsuspecting and the weak; 

And powerless the fabled sat, too smug to lift a hand 

Toward the foe that threatened from the deep. 

Who cares to dry the cheeks of those who saddened stand 

Adrift upon a sea of futile speech? 

And to fall to fate and make the 'status plan' 

Where was your word, where did you go? 

Where was your helping, where was your bow? Bow. 

Dull is the armour, cold is the day. 

Hard was the journey, dark was the way. Way. 

I heard the word; I couldn't stay. Oh. 

I couldn't stand it another day, another day, 

Another day, another day. 



Touched by the timely coming, 

Roused from the keeper's sleep, 

Release the grip, throw down the key. 



Held now within the knowing, 

Rest now within the peace. 

Take of the fruit, but guard the seed. 



They had to stay! 



Held now within the knowing, 

Rest now within the beat. 

Take of the fruit, but guard the seed...

Should I fall out of love, my fire in the light 

To chase a feather in the wind 

Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight 

There moves a thread that has no end. 



For many hours and days that pass ever soon 

the tides have caused the flame to dim 

At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom 

Is this to end or just begin? 

* Chrous: All of my love, all of my love, All of my love to you. (repeat) 



The cup is raised, the toast is made yet again 

One voice is clear above the din 

Proud Aryan one word, my will to sustain 

For me, the cloth once more to spin 



Chorus 



Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time 

his is the force that lies within 

Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find 

He is a feather in the wind 



Chorus

Oh she's my baby, Let me tell you why 

Hey, she drives me crazy, She's the apple of my eye 

'Cause she is my girl, And she can never do wrong 

If I dream too much at night, Somebody please bring me down 



Hey, I love that little lady, I got to be her fool 

Ain't no other like my baby, I can break the golden rule 

'Cause I get down on my knees, Oh, I pray that love won't die 

And if I always try to please, I don't know the reason why, yeah 



If she would come back, Only stay with me 



Every little bit of my love, etc., I give to you girl 



I don't have to go by plane 

I ain't gotto go by car 

I don't care just where my darling is 

People I just don't care how far 

I'm gonna crawl 

I don't care if I got to go back home 

I don't care what I got to stand to her back 

I'm gonna crawl 

I'm gonna move the car, baby 

She give me good lovin 

Yes I love her, I guess I love her 

I'm gonna crawl.
