Above All, Love

It's a long long road

And I'm ready to go 

But something is holding me up

And for what it is worth

As I wander this earth

I have learned above all, love

I can't find my way home

Baby I'm too far gone

And I don’t know what I was thinking of

When I went so far astray

And the devil got his pay

But I learned above all, love

Love only love

Nothing else is above

It brings peace to your heart and your mind

As you walk on down the years

Through this valley of tears

Love will find you in its own sweet time

Sometimes life can seem a curse

Chapter and verse

And your heart can grow thorny and tough

Well, I was a train wreck

I could see no way back 

Until I learned above all, love

Love only love

Nothing else is above

It brings peace to your heart and your mind

As you walk on down the years

Through this valley of tears

Love will find you in its own sweet time

Love only love

Nothing else is above

It brings peace to your heart and your mind

As you walk on down the years

Through this valley of tears

Love will find you in its own sweet time

Love will find you in its own sweet time 

Something you will discover

One thing leads to another

Just a smile or an innocent kiss

That lingers on the lips

Come on baby what you want me to do

You know I love you but I love me too

Just relax

Don't be like that 

When I see you on the street

My poor heart it just skips a beat

Don't you know you ring my bell?

I'm like a dog in kitten hell

Come on, baby, won’t you throw me a bone?

And I promise not to wreck your home

Just relax

Don't be like that 

I said relax

Don't be like that

Relax

Don’t be like that

Don’t be like that

Oh no

You got the bread I’ve got the butter

You’re my ticket out of the gutter

I can do it if you're by my side

But it's going to be a bumpy ride

Come on baby where’s your confidence

You know it's just a little turbulence

Just relax

Don't be like that

Relax

Don't be like that

I said, relax

Don't be like that

Don't be like that

Don't be like that

Don't be like that

Don't be like that

Stars light up the valley

Love is in full bloom

For tonight you're here beside me

Neath that old majestic moon

Once my heart was broken

I gave my love too soon

But love is always hoping

Neath that old majestic moon

The sun goes down on our hopes and dreams

Your careful plans and my reckless schemes

And lovers try to stay in tune

Neath that old majestic moon

Starlight fades in the valley

Time goes by too soon

And we'll reach that grand finale

Neath that old majestic moon

The sun goes down on our hopes and dreams

Your careful plans and our reckless schemes

And lovers try to stay in tune

Neath that old majestic moon

The sun goes down on our hopes and dreams

Your careful plans and our reckless schemes

And lovers try to stay in tune

Neath that old majestic moon

Neath that old majestic moon

Well now Joe took that plane and was gone

And it came down to me to carry on

Now everybody can see

That my daddy has big plans for me

Mama why did you always go away?

You know I listened for your footsteps every day

And in this big house I’d pretend

That I was a man among men

Red red moon

Let the mocking bird sing

For one brief shining moment

I would be king

Well now Joe how I wish you, you were here

You always knew what to do you had no fear

I used to walk behind you on the street

But now the world is at my feet

Red red moon

Let the mocking bird sing

For one brief shining moment

I would be king

Red red moon

Let the mocking bird sing

For one brief shining moment

I would be king

There's a hurricane in my heart

Everything I touch falls apart

You don't love me any more

It's plain to see

I'm living in the lap of misery

(Ooh) I gave my heart on soul

(Ooh) Baby now I know

It's just a game 

(This isn’t love)

It's just a game

Baby there's a storm in my soul

Bring your thunder on. Let it roll

You don't love me anymore (This isn’t love)

That's loud and clear

Now the game is up 

(This isn’t love)

I'm out of here

(Ooh) I gave my heart and soul

(Ooh) Baby now I know, now I know

It's just a game (This isn’t love)

It's just a game (This isn’t love)

It's just a game (This isn’t love)

It's just a game

(Heads I win

Tails you lose)

It's just a game

There's a hurricane in my heart

Everything I touch falls apart

You don't love me anymore

It's plain to see

I'm living in the lap of misery

It's just a game (just a game) (this isn’t love)

It’s just a game (just a game) (this isn’t love)

It's just a game (just a game) (this isn’t love)

It’s just a game (just a game) (this isn’t love)

It's just a game (just a game) (this isn’t love)

It's just a game (just a game) (this isn’t love)

The old west is lost

Every frontier gone

What will they remember

If they remember us at all?

What will be the cost?

What will it be worth?

Who will give their life

For the greatest show on earth

Into that silent sea

Reaching ever higher

From a raging fire

To tranquillity

Into that brave new world

Up from the golden dawn

Maybe we are flying

Too close to the sun

Into that silent sea

Reaching ever higher

From a raging fire

To tranquillity

Into that silent sea

Reaching ever higher

From a raging fire

To tranquillity

Into that silent sea

Reaching ever higher

From a raging fire

To tranquillity

To tranquillity

I need some medicine

Before I fade away

I know exactly what I want

I want it today

I don't need advice

I don't need a friend

I just want someone to want me

Till the bitter end

Even if it's only

Only sugar love

Even if it won't be

More than sugar love

It's not set in stone

Everyone can change

I know you're all alone

Cos I'm the same

I want to find somebody

Who makes me feel alive

I want it more than anything

And I don't know why

Even if it's only

Only sugar love

Even if it won't be

More than sugar love

Well honey

That comes close enough

Close enough for me

I just want to find somebody

Who makes me feel alive

I want it more than anything

And I don't know why

Even if it's only

Only sugar love

Even if it won't be

More than sugar love

Oh, listen honey

Yeah that’s close enough

Close enough for me

Only sugar love

Mmm

Only sugar love

Sugar love

Only sugar love

Only sugar love

Well as I looked over old Hank’s shoulder I'd see

The devil smile and roll his eyes at me

Well if I don't go, one of us is going to die

I love you but I'm leaving

Baby so long goodbye

What's on your mind? You know it's just a hill of beans

What's on your mind? Am I stepping on your dreams?

You don't want me here. When I go, you're going to cry

I love you but I'm leaving

Baby so long goodbye

Well I know the devil wants me to kill myself

Well I might as well enjoy the time I've left

And all you've been giving me is the evil eye

I love you but I'm leaving

Baby so long goodbye

Yes I love you but I'm leaving

Baby so long goodbye

I love you but I'm leaving

Baby so long goodbye

Something’s working on me

I can feel it in my bones

Something working on me

And it won't leave me alone

Too many dark nights of the soul

Waiting for the cavalry

Too many lost days on the road

There's a place I need to be

I'm just trying to get back home

But there's something in my way

Every time I try to go

Something leads me astray

It was the first thing on my mind 

When I woke up today

Something's working on me

I feel it in my blood

Something's working on me

From a trickle to a flood

I went down to the river

And I tried to get across

I went down to the river

It was deeper than I thought

I'm just trying to get back home

But there's something in my way

Every time I try to go

Something leads me astray

It was the first thing on my mind 

When I woke up today

Something's working on me

Something's working on me

Something's working on me

Something's working on me

Something's working on me

A long white limousine 

Comes rolling up

Gonna take me somewhere 

And I'm feeling rough

Down on sunset 

Boulevard

I'm trying to figure out

How it ever got this far

And it's a long long way 

A long long way back to A’town 

A long long way

A long long way back to A’town 

On a 38

Gonna head downtown 

London is a strange place 

But I think I'll stick around 

See what happens baby

You know that I'm a chancer

Let them see what I can do 

And I won't take no for answer 

It's a long long way 

A long long way back to A’town 

A long long way

Long long way back to A’town 

A long long way

Long long way back to A’town 

I put my hand for the taxi in the rain 

All the way to Castle Street 

All the way and back again 

With a real guitar

And I'm paying for it every week 

And I can see the payment check 

And what day it’s gonna be

A long long way

A long long way back to A’town 

A long long way

Long long way back to A’town 

A long long way

Long long way back to A’town 

A long long way

Long long way back to A’town
