CANDLES IN THE RAIN 
 
Little sisters of the sun lit 
Candles in the rain 
Fed the world on oats and raisins 
Candles in the rain 
Lit the fire to the soul 
Who never knew his friends 
Meher Baba lives again 
Candles in the rain 
To be there is to remember 
Lay it down again 
Lay down 
Lay down 
Lay it down again 
Men can live as brothers 
Candles in the rain...


LAY DOWN (CANDLES IN THE RAIN) 
 
(chorus:) 
Lay down lay down, let it all down 
Let your white birds smile up at the 
Ones who stand and frown 
Lay down lay down, let it all down 
Let your white birds smile up at the 
Ones who stand and frown 
 
We were so close, there was no room 
We bled inside each others wounds 
We all had caught the same disease 
And we all sang the songs of peace 
 
chorus 
 
So raise the candles high cause if you 
Don't we could stay black against the night 
Oh raise them higher again and if you 
Do we could stay dry against the rain 
 
chorus 
 
We were so close, there was no room 
We bled inside each others wounds 
We all had caught the same disease 
And we all sang the songs of peace 
Some came to sing, some came to pray 
Some came to keep the dark away 
 
So raise the candles high 
Cause if you don't we could stay 
Black against the sky 
Oh oh raise them higher again 
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain 
 
chorus


CAROLINA IN MY MIND 
 
In my mind I'm gone to Carolina 
Can't you see the sunshine 
Can't you just feel the moon shine 
And ain't it just like a friend of mine 
To come and hit me from behind 
And I'm gone to Carolina in my mind 
 
Karin she's a silver sun 
You'd best walk her way and watch it shine 
Watch her watch the morning come 
A silver tear appearing now I'm crying ain't I 
Gone to Carolina in my mind 
 
You know there ain't no doubt in no-one's mind 
That loves the finest thing around 
Whisper something soft and kind 
And hey babe the sky's on fire I'm dying ain't I 
Gone to Carolina in my mind 
 
In my mind I'm gone to Carolina 
Can't you see the sunshine 
Can't you just feel the moon shine 
And ain't it just like a friend of mine 
To come and hit me from behind 
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind 
 
Well it was dark and silent late last night 
Think I might have heard the highway call 
Geese in flight and dogs that bite 
And sighs that might be omens say 
I'm going going gone to Carolina in my mind 
 
In my mind I'm gone to Carolina 
Oh can't you see the sunshine 
And can't you just feel the moon shine 
And ain't it just like a friend of mine 
To come and hit me from behind 
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind 
 
Oh I can feel the sunshine 
Just about feel the moon shine 
And I just know a friend of mine 
Comes and hits me from behind 
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind


CITIEST PEOPLE 
 
To the citiest people in the whole wide world 
You've been unkind to an un-city girl 
From the stone walls you grew 
So I'm not blaming you 
But look what the city 
Just look how the city 
Has taken a pretty 
And made an ugly of you 
Just look what the city is doin' to you 
 
To the citiest people in the citiest towns 
I'm not the one to be putting you down 
From the stone walls you grew 
But I grew there too 
And I know that the city 
The dirty old city 
Can take such a pretty 
And make an ugly of you 
Just look what the city is doin' to you


WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO MY SONG MA 
 
Look what they done to my song ma 
Look what they done to my song 
Well it's the only thing 
That I could do half right 
And it's turning out all wrong ma 
Look what they done to my song 
 
Look what they done to my brain ma 
Look what they done to my brain 
Well they picked it like a chicken bone 
And I think I'm half insane ma 
Look what they done to my song 
 
I wish I could find a good book to live in 
Wish I could find a good book 
Well if I could find a real good book 
I'd never have to come out and look at 
What they done to my song 
 
La la la la la la la la la 
La la la la la la la la la 
La la la la la la la la la 
Look what they done to my song 
 
But maybe it'll all be alright ma 
Maybe it'll all be okay 
Well if the people are buying tears 
I'll be rich someday ma 
Look what they done to my song 
 
Ils ont change ma chanson, ma 
Ils ont change ma chanson 
C'est la seule chose que je peux faire 
Et ce n'est pas bon, ma. 
Ils ont change ma chanson. 
 
Look what they done to my song, ma 
Look what they done to my song 
Well they tied it up in a plastic bag 
And turned it upside down ma 
Look what they done to my song 
 
Look what they done to my song ma 
Look what they done to my song 
It's the only thing that I could do alright 
And they turned it upside down 
Oh ma 
Look what they done to my song


ALEXANDER BEETLE 
 
I had a little beetle 
So that beetle was his name 
And I called him Alexander 
And he answered just the same 
And I put him in a matchbox 
And I kept him all the day 
But nanny let my beetle out 
Yes nanny let my beetle out 
She went and let my beetle out 
And beetle ran away 
 
She said she didn't mean it 
And I never said she did 
She said she wanted matches 
And she just took off the lid 
She said I mustn't worry 
And I really mustn't mind 
That there's lots and lots of beetles 
The she's certain we could find 
She said I mustn't worry 
But it's difficult to catch 
An excited sort of beetle 
You've mistaken for a match 
 
If we looked in all the places 
That a beetle might be near 
And we made the kind of noises 
That a beetle likes to hear 
And I heard a kind of something 
And I gave a sort of shout 
It was a beetle house 
And Alexander beetle coming out 
It was Alexander beetle 
I'm as certain as can be 
And he had that kind of look as though 
He thought it might be me 
 
And he had that kind of look as though 
He thought he ought to say 
"I'm really very sorry that I tried to run away" 
And nanny's very sorry too 
Cause you know what she did 
And she's writing Alexander 
Very blackly on the lid 
So nan and me are friends because 
It's difficult to catch 
An excited Alexander 
You've misstaken for a match


THE GOOD GUYS 
 
I'm tired of seeing the picture 
You're painting of yourself 
You with the borrowed colors 
That you picked from someone else 
Maybe you're a movie 
Or some best selling book 
I know your mirrored mornings 
In rehearsal of your looks 
Oh your cause is oh so beautiful 
You're ready to begin 
You're going to play the good guys 
By singing the good guys hymn 
Ah you're building the halls with the outer walls 
But you haven't got a thing within 
 
The innocence of children 
Is the manner you suppose 
And you can describe in full detail 
What we already know 
Ah your cause is all so pretty 
And we're ready to begin 
We're going to play the good guys 
By singing the good guys hymn 
Ah we're building the halls with the outer walls 
But we haven't got a thing within 
 
But if we keep on trying 
Though our purpose isn't clear 
We just may move the universe 
We'll learn to really care 
Eventually the whole facade 
Becomes more than a whim 
By starting to build on the outside 
We're gonna fill up the walls within 
By starting to build on the outside 
We'll fill up the wallls within 
Eventually the whole facade 
Becomes more than a whim 
And by starting to build on the outside 
We're gonna fill up the walls 
We're gonna fill up the walls within


LOVIN BABY GIRL 
 
I was a lovin baby girl 
Mommy, daddy had I none 
Be my mommy, daddy 
I will be your lovin one 
 
Before the time I knew your face dear 
I was doing very well 
If I never knew your kisses 
I'd never known that I'd been in hell 
 
If I had some pennies 
I could have a world of fun 
Give me all your pennies 
And I will be your lovin one 
 
Once upon a christmas time 
I lost christmas in my mind 
I looked through all the windows 'round 
To find a star I hadn't found 
Then all at once 
Before I knew 
Christmas froze my soul into 
A cryful night I had a dream 
And saw a place I'd never seen 
 
If I had some pennies 
I could have a world of fun 
Give me all your pennies 
And I will be your lovin one 
 
I was a lovin baby girl 
Mommy, daddy had I none 
Be my mommy, daddy 
I will be your lovin one


RUBY TUESDAY 
 
She would never say where she came from 
Yesterday don't matter cause it's gone 
While the sun is bright 
Or in the darkest night 
No one knows 
She comes and then she goes 
 
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday 
Who is gonna hang a name on you 
And when you change with every new day 
Still I'm gonna miss you 
 
Don't ask her why she leaves to be so free 
She's gonna tell you it's the only way to be 
She just can't be chained 
To a life where nothing's gained 
And nothing's lost 
But such a cost 
 
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday 
Who is gonna hang a name on you 
And when you change with every new day 
Still I'm gonna miss you 
 
Oh there's no time to lose I heard her say 
You gotta catch your dreams before they run away 
Dying all the time 
Lose your dreams and you might lose your mind 
Is life unkind 
 
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday 
Who is gonna hang a name on you 
And when you change with every new day 
Still I'm gonna miss you 
 
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday 
Who is gonna hang a name on you 
And when you change with every new day 
Still I'm gonna miss you 
 
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday 
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday 
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday 
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday 
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday 
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday


LEFTOVER WINE 
 
What do you do when the people go home 
And what do you do when the show is all done 
I know what I'll do in the alone of my time 
But what will I do with the leftover wine 
A line from a poem of my childhood has said 
That visions of sugarplums were gonna dance in my head 
I'll spend my whole life making the time rhyme 
But I'll still have a bowl of leftover wine 
I'll spend my whole life making the time rhyme 
And then I'll sing them a song of mine 
You know I'm gonna do anything 
Just to take up time 
Cause I can't find a taker for the leftover wine 
(and) what do you do when the people go home 
And what do you do when the show is all done 
I know what I'll do in the alone of my time 
But what will I do with the leftover wine 
I'm gonna spend my whole life making the time rhyme 
And then I'm gonna run to the people 
And I'll sing them a song of mine 
You know I'm gonna do anything 
Just to take up time 
Cause I can't find a taker for the leftover wine 
I'll drink some of yours 
If you'll drink all of mine 
Because I can't stand the taste of that leftover wine 
And I'm gonna drink some of yours 
If you'll drink all of mine 
Because I can't stand the taste of leftover wine 
And I'll drink some of yours 
If you'll drink all of mine 
I can't stand the taste of leftover wine
