A Heart In New York

New york
To your tall skyline I come
Flying in from london
To your door
New york
Lookin down on central park
Where they say you should not wander
After dark
New york
Like a scene from all those movies
But youre real enough to me
But theres a heart
A heart that lives in new york
A heart in new york
A rose on the street
I write my song to that city heartbeat
A heart in new york
Love in her eye
An open door and a friend for the night
New york

Jainy

Jainy sells for three dimes a night
Morning helps her find her way blind
And I love her more than I can tell
Heaven help me now
Seems I found to find her just as well:

Jainy Yea:
Jainy Yea

Jainy takes me three times a night
Morning Saves me and I find my way blind
And she loves me more than she can tell
Heaven help her now
Seems she's found to find me just as well

Jainy Yea:
Jainy Yea:

Jainy stares at stars every night
Morning takes her eyes every time

Illegal Business

Cocaine business controls America
Ganja business controls America
KRS-One come to start some hysteria
Illegal Business controls America

One afternoon around eleven o'clock
It was freezing cold
He was standing on the block
Sellin' cheeba
Mixin' dimes
Sayin' a rhyme
Just to pass the time
The cops passed by
But he stayed calm
'Cause the leather trench coat
Was keepin' him warm
But this time they walked by real slowly
He thought to himself
They look like they know me
They drove away

Jukebox In My Mind

Dave gibson/ronnie rogers, 3:39
Chorus:
In the corner of my mind stands a jukebox
Its playing all my favorite memories
One by one they take me back
To the days when you were mine
And I cant stop this jukebox in my mind
I dont need no quarters
Dont need any dimes
You filled it up forever
When you said goodbye
Heaven knows I love old melodies
They were meant to ease the pain
But the kind thats playing on my mind
Are driving me insane
Repeat chorus
Song by song those melodies
Were meant to ease the pain
But the kind thats playing on my mind
Are driving me insane

Hot Dog

(words & music jerry leiber - mike stoller)
Hot dog, you say youre really coming back
Hot dog, Im waiting at the railway track
Hot dog, you say youre coming home for good
Hot dog, Im going to keep knocking on wood
And baby, I can hardly wait
Im gonna meet you at the gate, hot dog
I fell in love with you and then you went away
But now youre coming home to stay
Hot dog, soon everything will be all right
Hot dog, were gonna have a ball tonight
Ive got a pocketful of dimes
Its gonna be just like old times, hot dog
You went away and every day was misery
But now youre coming back to me
Hot dog, my heart is gonna go insane
Hot dog, when you come walking off the train
Oh how lonely I have been
But when that santa fe pulls in
Hot dog, baby, baby, hot dog

Harlem Woman

Written by orbison/melson
The woman is out on her own.
Walking the streets, sad and alone.
Yes she sells herself for nickles and dimes.
These are hard times for a harlem woman.
Harlem woman.
Yes you work at night.i have held you tight.
But youre not aware of how much I care.
No you cant see your babys been hungry and cold.
So long nights through, go on and do what you must do,
I love you.i love you harlem woman.
Harlem woman.
Sometimes I cry, but Ill get by till your mine alone.
So carry on to other arms,tender but strong.
Till you belong to me
Harlem woman hang on.
Ill take you away.
Someday Ill set you free to be with only me.
Till then Ill know,...
Lord knows, Ill know

What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life

What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and south and east and west of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me
All the seasons and the times of your days
All the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me
I want to see your face
In every kind of light
In fields of dawn
And forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
And the world of love you keep in your eyes
Ill awaken whats asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two
Through all of my life
Summer, winter, spring and fall of my life

Here It Comes

Looking into reaching someone
Filling up my vase with dimes
Smashing into this tin cup
Fixed up with a pair of broken pliers
Get what you are, right into me
One thousand more times
Here it comes (Im saving you, Im saving me)
Mother nature so cold and severe
Turns my tears into icy skies
Reaching for self preservation
Stale blood surrounds you drawing muddy flies
Get what you are, right into me
One thousand more times
Here it comes (Im saving you, Im saving me)
Not of this world, for in my mind, I roam around in space
So far away I long and wait, to meet a friendly face
Voices echo in my past, but still Im lost in space
In the silence a flickering light, that blinks on endlessly
So far away I long and wait, to meet a friendly face
Not of this world, for in my mind, I roam around in space

I Washed My Face In The Morning Dew

The first strange town I was ever in the county was hangin' a man
And nobody cared if he lived or he died and I just didn't understand
So I washed my face in the morning dew bathed my soul in the sun
Washed my face in the morning dew and kept on moving along
The second strange town I was in they were laughing at a poor crippled man
Begging for nickels and dimes on the street and I just didn't understand
So I washed my face...
The third strange town that I was in was settled peaceful and nice
The rich got richer and the poor got poorer and to me it didn't seem right
So I washed my face...
Now someday times are bound to change it can't be very far
And each injustice that I have seen will come before the bar
Then I'll wash my face in the morning dew bathe my soul in the sun
Wash my face in the morning dew and my journey will be done

Blue Bayou

I feel so bad Ive got a worried mind
Im so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind on blue bayou
Saving nickels, saving dimes, working till the sun dont shine
Looking forward to happier times on blue bayou
Im going back some day come what may to blue bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on blue bayou
All those fishing boats with their sails afloat if I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy Id be
Go to see my baby again
And to be with some of my friends
Maybe Id be happy then on blue bayou
Im going back some day, gonna stay on blue bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on blue bayou
Oh, that girl of mine by my side the silver moon and the evening tide
Oh, some sweet day gonna take away this hurtin inside
Ill never be blue, my dreams come true on blue bayou
