(Dylan)
Seven days, seven more days she'll be comin'
I'll be waiting at the station for her to arrive
Seven more days, all I gotta do is survive.
She been gone ever since I been a child
Ever since I seen her smile, I ain't forgotten her eyes.
She had a face that could outshine the sun in the skies.
I been good, I been good while I been waitin'
Maybe guilty of hesitatin', I just been holdin' on
Seven more days, all that'll be gone.
There's kissing in the valley,
Thieving in the alley,
Fighting every inch of the way.
Trying to be tender
With somebody I remember
In a night that's always brighter'n the day.
Seven days, seven more days that are connected
Just like I expected, she'll be comin' on forth,
My beautiful comrade from the north.
There's kissing in the valley,
Thieving in the alley,
Fighting every inch of the way.
Trying to be tender
With somebody I remember
In a night that's always brighter'n the day.

You looked like a princess the night we met
With your hair piled up high
I will never forget
I'm drunk right now baby
But I've got to be
Or I never could tell you
What you meant to me
I loved you the first time I saw you
And I always will love you Marie
I loved you the first time I saw you
And I always will love you Marie

(Jimmy Cliff)
Many Rivers To Cross
But I Can'T Seem To Find My Way Over
Wandering I'M Lost
As I Travel Along The White Cliffs Of Dover
Many Rivers To Cross
And It'S Only My Will That Keeps Me Alive
I'Ve Been Ripped, Washed Up For Years
And I Merely Survive Because Of My Pride
And This Loneliness Won'T Leave Me Alone
It'S Such A Drag To Be On Your Own
My Women Left Me But She Wouldn'T Say Why
Guess I'Ll Just Break Right Down And Cry
Many Rivers To Cross
But Just Where To Begin
I'M Playing For Time
There'Ve Been Times I Find Myself
Thinking Of Committing Some Terrible Crime
Still This Loneliness Won'T Leave Me Alone
It'S Such A Drag To Be On Your Own
My Girl Left Me But She Wouldn'T Say Why
Guess I'Ll Just Break Right Down And Cry
Many Rivers To Cross
But I Can'T Seem To Find My Way Over
Wandering I Am Lost
As I Travel Along The White Cliffs Of Dover
Many Rivers To Cross
And It'S Only My Will That Keeps Me Alive
I'Ve Been Ripped, Washed Up For Years
And I Merely Survive Because Of My Pride

| So Good, So Right | |
|
We're on the shores of nowhere
looking out to sea
i turn and kiss your face and you laugh at me, laugh at me
how do i feel when I feel like rain
feel like saying
it feels so good so right to be with tonight{chorus}
There is no space between the ocean, you, and me
Exchanging life force as we live and breath
together we'll be
how do i feel when i feel like saying
feel like praying
feels so good so right to be with you tonight{chorus}
you make me feel so young the way we laugh and play
like a child in the sun
you know I wanna stay
in love this way
how do i feel when i feel like praying, feel like saying
It;s feels so good so right to be with you tonight

| Talking Back to the Night | |
|
(Winwood/Jennings)
High above the heat of a summer New York street
An out-of-work musician plays a solo saxophone
He's a preacher and a teacher
And he stands up all alone
Stranded in the dark of a vision in the park
A poet in his madness tries to find another line
And he's losing and he's using
And he says he's doing fine
And they look from such a height
That somehow it's all right
They're talking back to the night
It's all that they can do
Talking back to the night
It's how they make it through
If you listen you can hear them
Their voices draw you near them
They're talking back to the night for you
Something seems to take every dime the man can make
His dream is getting smaller and he wonders where to turn
And he's trying hard to make it
And he's trying not to burn
Woman never minds, pulls the shade and draws the blinds
She takes him in the darkness where the loneliest can feed
She gives him all she has to
And it's no more than he needs
