1.	Sweetheart (Waitress in a Donut Shop) 02:51	lyrics	buy track
"Sweetheart", but it doesn't beat for me It beats softly in love, but not for me Sweet lips, lips I know I'll never kiss You're what I'm afraid I must miss I'm a waitress in a doughnut shop I see him on his morning stop He talks of love but he's thinking of his Sweetheart, she gives him a rough time He gives me his dime and then parts Soft sighs, soft and pretty moans In dreams, I will make you my own I'm a waitress in a doughnut shop I see him on his morning stop He talks of love but he's thinking of his Sweetheart, she gives him a rough time He gives me his dime and then parts Soft sighs, soft and pretty moans In dreams, I will make you my own
2.	Both Sides Now 04:51	lyrics
Rows and flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere I've looked at clouds that way But now they only block the sun They rain and pour on everyone So many things I would have done But clouds got in my way I've looked at clouds from both sides now From up and down, and still somehow It's cloud illusions I recall I really don't know clouds at all Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels The dizzy dancing way you feel As every fairy tale comes real I've looked at love that way But now it's just another show You leave 'em laughing when you go And if you care, don't let them know Don't give yourself away I've looked at love from both sides now From give and take, and still somehow It's love's illusions I recall I really don't know love at all Tears and fears and feeling proud To say "I love you" right out loud Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I've looked at life that way But now old friends are acting strange They shake their heads, they say I've changed Well something's lost, but something's gained In living every day I've looked at life from both sides now From win and lose and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all © 1967 Gandalf Publishing Co.
3.	Killing Me Softly 04:09	lyrics
I heard he sang a good song I heard he had a style And so I came to see him To listen for a while And there he was this young boy A stranger to my eyes Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song I felt all flushed with fever Embarrassed by the crowd I felt he found my letters And read each one out loud I prayed that he would finish But he just kept right on Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song He sang as if he knew me In all my dark despair And then he looked right through me As if I wasn't there But he just kept on singing Singing clear and strong Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song
4.	On The Outside 05:20	lyrics
Well it could be a green day in hell Or we could never dance no more And the thing that you're looking for, It ain't on the outside And maybe Saturn's off its orbit And careening down to torch us But the thing that you're looking for It ain't on the outside And I say, love, you're never gonna find it Peace, you'll never find it Strength, you'll never find it If you're on the outside looking Looking on the outside On the outside looking for the secret that is hiding within And Salvador Dali's eyes, They burn a hole right through your head 'Cause he knows what you're looking for, It ain't on the outside And Bob is smoking on his pipe A beatific smile from his inner light 'Cause he knows what you're looking for It ain't on the outside And I say, love, you're never gonna find it Peace, you'll never find it Strength, you'll never find it If you're on the outside looking Looking on the outside On the outside looking for the secret that is hiding within And Old King Cole was a merry old soul, And a merry old soul was he He called for his pipe and he called for his shoes and he called for his fiddlers three Yie di, de ditten di di... (vocal imitates the fiddlers) Love, you're never gonna find it No, you're never gonna find it Peace, you'll never find it If you're on the outside looking Are you looking on the outside? On the outside looking for the secret That is hiding within?
5.	Blackbird 03:47	lyrics
Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arrive Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see You were only waiting for this moment to be free Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night
6.	Jana Herzen, Shaka Ra Mutela - Far Away 06:12	lyrics
Seems so Far Away Seems like an eternity The words I heard you say Still I hear them calling me We were living in a world where Wolves dressed as angels Fed upon our dreams It was just too hard to Find our way through The forest of 'nothing as it seems' And lies were told that made my heart As cold as an anchor Twenty thousand leagues beneath a frozen sea So far away from me Far across the waves I can feel your heart is aching and All I can do is pray That love will find a way If we stop the lies and keep our eyes On the brand new day On the brand new day Every day I'd pray To find a way to comfort you I wished that I could say The simple life would pull us through Maybe I was crazy Letting my tears fall upon the broken ground I wanted you to save me Shed your light on the darkness That was falling all around Like a prince, in a dream You would make me The queen of your country Little did I know, the Hunger in your soul Would pick me up and spin me On a howling wind And the storm would never end Far Across the waves I can feel your heart is aching and All I can do is pray That love will find a way If we stop the lies and keep our eyes On the brand new day On the brand new day Then there came a day I finally had to shut the door The games we used to play I could no longer find a reason for Maybe there's no answers Maybe we are just dancers Invited by the moon Always looking for the chance for The voices of angels To tell us what to do But lies were told that made my heart As cold as an anchor Twenty thousand leagues beneath a frozen sea So far away from me Far Across the waves I can feel your heart is aching and All I can do is pray That love will find a way If we stop the lies and keep our eyes On the brand new day On the brand new day
7.	'Round The World 04:13	lyrics	buy track
Slow down, don't rush When you're with this woman, there's enough So slow down, for there's time We're going to ride this moment to the end of the line Cause there's love spinning 'round the world, And you've found one kind of girl Not afraid of what it takes You know I'm gonna stay awake with you Love spinning 'round this globe, Believe me when I say it's so Can you see it in my heart There's a candle in the dark for you Love spinning 'round this world Can you see it in my eyes, there's a kingdom in the sky for you Love spinning 'round this globe Believe me when I say it's so Can you see it in my eyes it's burning for you So relax, honey, be free Throw your troubles in the salty sea Give in darlin', honey don't fight You've just got to trust the pull of The cool moonlight Cause there's love spinning 'round this world Yeah, there's love spinning round and round Love spinning 'round this world There is love spinning 'round this world
8.	Bali Dream 05:49	lyrics
So far away from the home that I once loved The clouds are massed in the Bali sky Sweeping so wide above These simple rhymes are driving me crazy I'm getting scared 'cause I'm getting so lazy Oh, Bali Dream How can you seem so real? I went away still dreaming of my lover's arms Though I'm aware he no longer cares Still my dreams live on and on But out the water, things seem much smaller Maybe I could just drift away Oh, Bali Dream Look what you're making me say It just seems that Life on an island could be so fine Just sharing my mind with a few survivors Life on an island could be so fine Life on an island could be so fine Sharing my wine with a few survivors Life on an i-i-i-island .... You've got your Gamelon music Playing in the sunset Fishing families furling out their fishnets Dolphins flying all around the boats and Yet, I'm feeling bluer than the ocean So far away I guess the city's raging on My recent past could fade and cast A shadow that no one owns Is it so sinful, is it simple Just to let your past drift away Oh, Bali Dream Are you asking me to come play? Now the sun sets over Java And the sky's as hot as lava And I'm thinking about the city on fire Trying to make it happen And every minute racking my brain Just to try to make it by Suddenly I'm wondering if there's any point in coming back to pick up the pieces I left behind? Oh, Bali Dream Are you just making me high? With your Gamelan music And your Frangipani flowers Floating like lovely ladies on the evening breeze? I spend my days with a dark man that I've met The kindness that he's shown to me Should make it easy to forget But this city girl's got a city mind And she's thinking 'bout those hard city times Oh, Bali Dream How will I ever unwind? It just seems that Life on an island could be so fine Just sharing my mind with a few survivors Life on an island could be so fine Life on an island could be so fine Sharing my wine with a few survivors Life on an i-i-i-island ... You've got your Gamelan music Playing in the sunset Fishing families furling out their fish nets Dolphins flying all around the boats and Every day your swimming in the ocean You've got your Gamelan music Playing in the sunset Fishing families furling out their fish nets Dolphins flying all around the boats and Every day your swimming in the ocean Gamelan music, And your Frangipani' flowers Floating like lovely ladies on the evening breeze....
9.	Land Down Under 04:46	lyrics
Traveling in a fried-out Kombi On a hippie trail, head full of zongle I met a lady, she made me nervous She took me in and gave me breakfast And she said Do you come from the land down under? Where women glow and men chunder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover I met a man from Brussels Six-foot-four and full of muscles I said, "Do you speak-a my language?" He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich, and he said Do you come from the land down under Where the women blow and men chunder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover You better fun, you better take cover Lying in a den in Bombay With a slack jaw and not much to say I said are you trying to tempt me? Because I come from the land of plenty And he said Do you come from the land down under Where the women blow and men chunder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover You better fun, you better take cover
10.	Part of the Wild 04:31	lyrics
Like the trees standing in the darkness Or the stars, shimmering above Like the love you feel for a child Everybody's heart is a part of the wild There's a golden web between us We can feel every step each other takes And if we'd only trust that golden silence There's no limit to the magic we could make Like the steps of a stranger in an alley Or the deaths of heroes we admire So many fears can block the gifts that we've been born to Still everybody's heart is a part of the wild There's a golden web between us We can feel every step each other takes And if we'd only trust that golden silence There's no limit to the love that we can make Like the trees standing in the darkness Or the stars, shimmering above Or the love you feel for a child Everybody's heart is a part of the wild
11.	Rainbow Connection 03:57	lyrics
Why are there so many songs about rainbows And what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, And rainbows have nothing to hide So we've been told And some say they believe it I know they're wrong, wait and see One day we'll find it Tthe rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers, and me Who said that every wish would be heard And be answered When wished on the evening star? Somebody thought of that And someone believed it And Look where it took us this far What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing What do we think we may find? One day we'll find it, the rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers and me What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing What do we think we may find? One day we'll find it, the rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers and me All of us chasing a star, We think that it's probably magic..
