Long Black Train - George Baker Selection

Cigarette burnin' low on the rock and roll Man I wish the morning would come 2 thousand miles between me and my home My red eyes start to succumb Interstate signals - red white and blue Long black ribbon of truth Golden strings in the hair of my woman Kickin' back the loss of my youth Slow rain - black train I can never stop - feedin' my head High speed - wet dream I can never sleep No home - no bed I can't remember my name But I don't feel ashamed On this long cold black train Help me jesus hold up my head Don't think I'm gonna make it this time How many reasons to live by the code When you're layin' it all on the line The hit parade is calling me softly Wonder when I'm gonna die All the times I've seen this dark train Too many mountains to climb Slow rain - black train I can never stop - feedin' my head High speed - wet dream I can never sleep No home - no bed Cheap trick - I'm sick Just another song 4 lanes insane Black pearl - soft curls The sun is gonna shine Someday my girl I can't remember my name But I don't feel ashamed On this long cold black train

I remember colors painted in my eyes Green was for the springtime, blue the summer skies And now the skies have darken, the white clouds turn to gray What a way to break a heart, you took all the colors away Dark black is the color of my life Since you've been gone Since you've been gone Whoa, if you come back Make my whole world bright Since you've been gone Dark black is the color of my life I remember visions, you taught me how to see The world of your colors was right there in front of me Oh, but what good is a rainbow, if the picture's in black and in white Oh, what good is a future when there's not a color inside Since you've been gone Since you've been gone Oh, if you come back Make my whole world bright Since you've been gone Dark black is the color of my life Dark black Dark black

Let me sing, a song for you And let me be your star Every time I look into your eyes I'm really fine Never knowing what to say Or knowing what to do All the goods things in my life Are just a part of you You are just a wild bird playing In the silver sky I'm a tree that waits for you To let you rest a while You can hide here if you want From winter storm and snow In the shelter of my arms You let your feelings show So sweet little wild bird Won't you sing this song with me Together we shall sing In perfect tune and harmony And if you stay here long Yes in the winter you must die As I will teach you how to walk You teach me how to fly, fly. (Repeat Last Verse)

Ann, oh my dear Ann You hit me in my face, again Ann, oh my dear Ann You made me feel a lying man Ann, oh my dear Ann You hit me in my face, again With your ice-cold words I just can't tell you how it hurts Why can't we live in peace Or must I beg you on my knees Why can't we live in peace Or must I beg you on my knees Ann, oh my dear Ann I warned you but you've done it again You, made me your fool But from the start I play it cool Why can't we live in peace Or must I beg you on my knees Why can't we live in peace Or must I beg you on my knees Why can't we live in peace Or must I beg you on my knees Why can't we live in peace Or must I beg you on my knees Why can't we live in peace Or must I beg you on my knees

All those bright lights, city ways It will make you go away And you'll never see the sunlight anymore Don't you worry about me I'll be waiting 'til you see That it's not so easy to be on your own Fantasy will bring you far To think you'll gonna be a star But a star can fall very soon, you'll see But there is no way to stop you And I know I'm gonna loose you, baby And only keep your memory But there is no way to stop you And I know I'm gonna loose you, baby And only keep your memory Morning light shine in my eyes Loneliness comes in my life And I know I'll have to cry You won't be here no more Play it! - Lalala... Morning light shine in my eyes Loneliness comes in my life And I know I'll have to cry You won't be here no more Morning light shine in my eyes Loneliness comes in my life And I know I'll have to cry You won't be here no more
