Against the wind

Lyrics:


It seems like yesterday 
But it was long ago 
Janey was lovely she was the queen of my nights 
There in the darkness with the radio playing low 
And the secrets that we shared 
The mountains that we moved 
Caught like a wildfire out of control 
'Til there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove 
And I remember what she said to me 
How she swore that it never would end 
I remember how she held me oh so tight 
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then 

Against the wind 
We were runnin' against the wind 
We were young and strong, we were runnin' 
Against the wind 
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bob+seger/against+the+wind_20021964.html ] 
The years rolled slowly past 
And I found myself alone 
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends 
I found myself further and further from my home 
And I guess I lost my way 
There were oh so many roads 
I was living to run and running to live 
Never worryied about paying or even how much I owed 
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time 
Breaking all of the rules that would bend 
I began to find myself searching 
Searching for shelter again and again 

Against the wind 
A little something against the wind 
I found myself seeking shelter sgainst the wind 

Well those drifter's days are past me now 
I've got so much more to think about 
Deadlines and commitments 
What to leave in, what to leave out 

Against the wind 
I'm still runnin' against the wind 
I'm older now but still runnin' against the wind 
Well I'm older now and still runnin' 
Against the wind 
Against the wind 
Against the wind 

Still runnin' 
I'm still runnin' against the wind 
I'm still runnin' 
I'm still runnin' against the wind 
Still runnin' 
Runnin' against the wind 
Runnin' against the wind 
See the young man run 
Watch the young man run 
Watch the young man runnin' 
He'll be runnin' against the wind 
Let the cowboys ride 
Let the cowboys ride 
They'll be ridin' against the wind 
Against the wind ...

Turn The Page

Lyrics:


On a long and lonesome highway 
East of Omaha 
You can listen to the engine 
Moanin' out his one note song 
You can think about the woman 
Or the girl you knew the night before 
But your thoughts will soon be wandering 
The way they always do 
When you're ridin' sixteen hours 
And there's nothin' much to do 
And you don't feel much like ridin', 
You just wish the trip was through 

Here I am 
On the road again 
There I am 
Up on the stage 
Here I go 
Playin' star again 
There I go 
Turn the page 

Well you walk into a restaurant, 
Strung out from the road 
And you feel the eyes upon you 
As you're shakin' off the cold 
You pretend it doesn't bother you 
But you just want to explode 
Most times you can't hear 'em talk, 
Other times you can 
All the same old cliches, 
"Is that a woman or a man?" 
And you always seem outnumbered, 
You don't dare make a stand 

Here I am 
On the road again 
There I am 
Up on the stage 
Here I go 
Playin' star again 
There I go 
Turn the page 

Out there in the spotlight 
You're a million miles away 
Every ounce of energy 
You try to give away 
As the sweat pours out your body 
Like the music that you play 

Later in the evening 
As you lie awake in bed 
With the echoes from the amplifiers 
Ringin' in your head 
You smoke the day's last cigarette, 
Rememberin' what she said 

Here I am 
On the road again 
There I am 
Up on the stage 
Here I go 
Playin' star again 
There I go 
Turn the page 
Here I am 
On the road again 
There I am 
Up on the stage 
Here I go 
Playin' star again 
There I go 
Turn the page 
There I go 
There I go

Sound of Silence

Lyrics:


Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence
