Almost Cut My Hair lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

I almost cut my hair
'Twas just the other day
It was gettin' kinda long
I could-a said, it was in my way
But I didn't and I wonder why
I want to let my freak flag fly
And I feel like I owe it to someone

Must be because I had the flu for Christmas
And I'm not feelin' up to par
It increases my paranoia
Like lookin' at my mirror and seein' a lit up police car
But I'm not givin' in an inch to fear
I promised myself this year
I feel like I owe it to someone

When I finally get myself together
Get down in some sunny southern weather
Find a place inside to laugh
Separate the wheat from the chaff
Cause I feel like I owe it to someone

Déjà Vu lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

One, two, three, four

If I had ever been here before
I would probably know just what to do, don't you?
If I had ever been here before on another time around the wheel
I would probably know just how to deal with all of you

And I feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
And you know it makes me wonder
What's going on under the ground, hmm

Do you know? Don't you wonder
What's going on down under you?

We have all been here before, we have all been here before
We have all been here before, we have all been here before
We have all been here before, we have all been here before

Sleep Song lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

When you were asleep I was kissing your forehead
You gave a frown so I kissed you again
You started waking and put your arms round my waist
Just making sure I was there then you drifted away
Then you drifted away

And when I awoke I found out I'd been dreaming
Some of my bed clothes were still on the floor
I looked around realized you were leaving me
I saw the back of your dress as you slipped through the door
As you slipped through the door

And when I return I will kiss your eyes open
Take off my clothes and I'll lie by your side
Then I will wait till the sandman has done with you
And as you're sleepily rise you'll find I'll be there
You'll find I'll be there, there.

My Love Is A Gentle Thing lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

My love is gentle thing
She moves with a whispering
She waits for my mind to slow
And then I'm hers to know
Have you seen her love eyes?
Watching me, her love eyes

We lay in Hawaii's sun
The water will make us one
The sleep of peace will come
The end of trouble has begun

Have you seen her love eyes?
Watching me, her love eyes ooo

Be Yourself lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

How does it feel when life doesn't seem real
And you're floating about on your own
Life is uncertain so you draw the curtain
Pretending there's nobody home

But don't theorize, look in your eyes
They can't tell lies
Though you may disguise what you see
Your Reality

We need had a savior but by our behavior
The one that was worth it is gone
Song birds are talking and runners are walking
A Prodigal son is coming home

Don't theorize look in his eyes
They won't tell lies
But if he defies what you see
Here is the key

Be yourself
Why don't you be yourself
Come on and be yourself
Why don't you be yourself

We needed a tutor so built a computer
And we programmed ourselves not to see
The truth and the lying the dead or the dying
A silent majority

Don't theorize look in their eyes
Are they telling lies?
The ones that they see on T.V
So You want to be free

Be yourself
Why don't you be yourself
Come on and be yourself
Why don't you be yourself

Be yourself
Why don't you be yourself
Come on and be yourself
Why don't you be yourself

Music Is Love lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

Everybody's sayin' music is love
Everybody's sayin' it's love
Everybody's sayin' music is love
Everybody's sayin' it's love

Everybody's sayin' music is love
Everybody's sayin' it's love
Everybody's sayin' music is love
Everybody's sayin' it's love

Every one, yes, every one
Everybody's sayin' music, music is love
Everybody's sayin' that music is love
Everybody's sayin' it's love

Everybody's sayin' that music is love
Everybody's sayin' it's love
Everybody's sayin' that music is love
Everybody's sayin' it's love

Everybody's sayin' that music is love
Everybody's sayin' it's love
Everybody's sayin' that music is love
Everybody's sayin' it's love

Everybody's sayin' that music is love
Everybody's sayin' it's love
Everybody's sayin' that music is love

Everybody's sayin' that music is love
Everybody's sayin' it's love

Put on your colors and run, come see
Everybody says that music's for free
Take off your clothes and lie in the sun
Everybody says the music's for fun.

Singing Call lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

Listen to the sound of the night bird singin'
I wonder who he calls
My fingers hurt so bad it's got me grinnin'
And I wonder if I can do it all

Hit a stretch of rapids in the rushin' river
I'm lookin' out for boulders and falls
A woman, she watches from the top of the canyon
Hopin' it don't drown us all

Help me now, gotta slow down
Hear my singin' call

Hurt myself bad on a run through the desert
I threw a shoe and I had a bad fall, oh, oh

Everyone knows there's a price for the askin'
Some people just buy themselves a doll
And give me strength sweet Jesus, I'm weary from the journey
And I need to tell my brothers what I saw

Help me now, gotta slow down
Hear my singin' call
Help me now, we gotta slow down
Hear my singin' call
Help me now, gotta slow down
Hear my singin' call

Chicago lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

So your brother's bound and gagged and they've chained him to a chair
Won't you please come to Chicago just to sing
In a land that's known as freedom how can such a thing be fair
Won't you please come to Chicago for the help that we can bring

We can change the world
Rearrange the world
It's dying
To get better

Politicians sit yourselves down there's nothing for you here
Won't you please come to Chicago for a ride
Don't ask Jack to help you 'cause he'll turn the other ear
Won't you please come to Chicago or else join the other side

We can change the world
Rearrange the world
It's dying
If you believe in justice
If you believe in freedom
Let a man live his own life
Rules and regulations who needs them
Open up the door

Somehow people must be free I hope the day comes soon
Won't you please come to Chicago show your face
From the bottom of the ocean to the mountains of the moon
Won't you please come to Chicago no one else can take your place

We can change the world
Rearrange the world
It's dying
If you believe in justice
If you believe in freedom
Let a man live his own life
Rules and regulations who needs them.

Love The One You're With lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

If you're down and confused
And you don't remember who you're talkin' to
Concentration slips away
'Cause your baby is so far away

Well there's a rose, in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with

Don't be angry, don't be sad
Don't sit cryin' over good times you had
There's a girl, right next to you
And she's just waiting for something to do

And there's a rose, in the fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with

Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with

Turn your heartache right into joy
She's a girl, and you're a boy
So get it together, make it nice
You ain't gonna need, any more advice

And there's a rose, in the fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with

"After The Storm" (1994)

Only Waiting For You lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Piano)]

I cannot remember feeling quite so self assured
It must have been back in my teens
I was such a basket case when I was young
It's obviously something that I dreamed

I have always been a most reclusive kind of guy
When love's around I usually run and hide
Don't you go believin' I was ever that confused
I was really only waiting for you

Really only waiting for you
And what do you suppose that we can do
Anything whatever that you want to last forever
Really only waiting for you

And I cannot escape the over-whelming feeling
Destiny has taken us in hand
And nothing that we do is gonna change
The way this love affair is never gonna end

And I know it's hard getting used to the idea
That your lover wants to be your best friend
With a showing of affection and a measure of romance
This is really only waiting for you

Really only waiting for you
And what do you suppose that we can do
Anything whatever that you want to last forever
Really only waiting for you

Waiting, waiting, only waiting for you
Waiting, waiting, only waiting for you

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar + Piano)]

I've been living by myself I do not want for someone else
At least that's what I like to say
And it was working till the other day I met you
And I fell in love from twenty yards away

I've got one last truly great love left in my life
And my heart is tellin' me it might be you
So forget your disappointments I'll forget about my past
I was really only waiting for you

Really only waiting for you
And what do you suppose that we can do
Anything whatever that you want to last forever
Really only waiting for you

Really only waiting for you
And what do you suppose that we can do
Anything whatever that you want to last forever

Find A Dream lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Drums + Guitars)]

Life is uncertain, life is unknown
Life is a shot in the dark
Life is a curtain, always unfolding
Life is an ember and a spark

Don't be a fool
Stay around for a long time
Try and find a dream

Time avoids no one, time is unkind
Time is a cut to the bone
Time to take care of, time to unwind
Time is a gift not a loan

Don't be a fool
Stay around for a long time
Try and find a dream

[Instrumental (Harmonica and Electric Guitar)]

People are endless, people are strangers
People are taken to be friends
People are nervous, always in danger
People are bound to make amends

Don't be a fool
Stay around for a long time
Try and find a dream

[Instrumental Ending (Electric Guitar)]

Camera lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Acoustic Guitar)]

I rode my bike to town today
Wobbling down the path
I knew the kids would see me
I love it when they laugh

And I wish I were a camera
And I could slice time like a knife
Seeing stories in the faces
And crystallizing life

Wish I were a camera
I wish it all the time
It gives my eyes a reason
It gives my life a rhyme

I'd be a lens that could see souls
A shutter that never shuts
I'd have film that lasts forever
I would live in huts

In the jungles of South America
Like my father before the war
I'd find out where we came from
And what this life is for

And I wish I were a camera
I wish it all the time
It gives my eyes a reason
It gives my life a rhyme

[Instrumental (Percussion and Acoustic Guitar)]

I wish I were a camera
I wish it all the time
It gives my eyes a reason
It gives my life a rhyme

And I would climb right off this planet
On the clearest night of all
And photograph the future
When it finally comes to call

I would save up all these images
These instants in a box
And when I am old and lonely
They could cover up the clocks

And I wish I were a camera
I wish it all the time
It gives my eyes a reason
It gives my life a rhyme

I wish that I could shoot at night
And leave without a trace
And catch my lover's sleeping smile
By the starlight on her face

But I think mostly that I'd see children
'Cause they haven't learned to hide
And they watch me on my bicycle
And laugh with me as I ride

While I ride, while I ride
While I ride, while I ride ...

Unequal Love lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Acoustic Guitar)]

Like a whisper on the wind
Sometimes the wind don't want to hear about it
Like a sailboat on the sea
Sometimes the ocean just don't care about it

There are many, many feelings that can tear your soul apart
But the pressure of unequal love is hard
'Cause the price you have to pay is that the pain won't go away
Unequal love

Did you ever stay too long
With a lover who was over you
You had the feeling it was wrong, so wrong, so wrong
But you loved so hard there's nothing you can do

There are many, many heartaches when you're up against the wall
And all the love you give won't come back at all
And no matter what you do it really hurts to know the truth
Love is unequal sometimes

[Instrumental (Harmonica)]

When you have a change of heart
'Cause you've found that you can trust somebody Trust somebody
They'll tear the arrow from your heart
It's you they'll love it's not just anybody Anybody

There are many, many reasons not to play the game at all
But in the meantime you are bound to fall
'Cause your wounds are gonna heal you're gonna learn just how to deal
How to deal with unequal love
Unequal love, unequal love

[Ending (Electric Guitar + Harmonica)]

Till It Shines lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Organ + Electric Guitar)]

What does it take to getcha
To admit it?
How much light
Till it shines on you, yeah?

How much did she betcha
You couldn't get it?
What does it signify
When it lands on you?

They will tell you you're a loser
They'll stone you in the streets
Makes you kinda wonder 'bout the people you meet, yeah

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Mmm ...

There's a telegram they send ya
To tell you that you won
And that now your life is gonna
Suddenly be fun

It's a piece of empty paper
It's a piece of empty pie
It's a vision of illusion
It will surely pass you by

And I don't know what to tell ya
I haven't got a clue
I don't know why people do the things that they do, no

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar and Organ)]

Mmm ...
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

What does it take to getcha
As confused as me?
And how much information
Is gonna finally set you free?

What does it take to getcha
To admit it?
How much light
Shines on you, yeah?

How much light
Is gonna shine on you?
How much light
Shines on you?

[Instrumental Ending (Electric Guitar and Organ)]

It Won't Go Away lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Electric Guitar)]

Don't you get tired
Of listening to the cover up
Sounds like a broken old record
When the needle gets stuck

You got your media honeys
Using their TV voice
Tellin' you what you done decided
As if you had any choice

And didn't they cry
And worry 'bout people of color
And didn't they mostly turn away
Keep us afraid of each other

And you know it's a lie
It ain't about people of color
The American Dream betrayed
And all of us feel the same rage

And it won't go away

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Isn't it strange
Ain't it a mystery
How did he get it in his head
Somehow he could speak for me

Hey, if what he's been a' saying
Is actually what he believes
Then one of us surely is a fool
And you know that he thinks that it's me

And didn't they cry
And worry 'bout people of color
And didn't they mostly turn away
Keep us afraid of each other

And you know it's a lie
It ain't about people of color
The American Dream betrayed
And all of us feel the same rage

And it won't go away

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Somebody wants us divided
Someone of evil intent
Trying to confuse and control
The minds of the innocent

And isn't it time
Good people have got to speak up
And you'll know exactly what to say
When you've finally had enough

Don't you go try
And blame it on people of color
And don't you dare turn away
Keep us afraid of each other

Cause you know it's a lie
It ain't about people of color
The American Dream betrayed
And all of us feel the same rage

And it won't go away
Won't go away
Won't go away
Won't go away

These Empty Days lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Acoustic Guitar)]

There are things that I forgot to say
As you rushed out of the door
And they're all coming back
To haunt me like before

There are things I wish I would have said
Before I lost you from my life
As my thoughts are coming back
They cut me like a knife

I can't deal with it
I can't bear to feel this way
I can't deal with it
I can 't fill these empty days

[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar and Electric Guitar)]

I can't deal with it
I can't bear to feel this way
I can't deal with it
I can't fill these empty days

Oh, I wish I could have told you
The words to make you stay
'Cause it will take a million years
To fill these empty days

These empty days
These empty days
These empty days

[Ending (Electric Guitar + Harmonica)]

In My Life lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Harmonica and Acoustic Guitars)]

There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain

All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

[Instrumental (Harmonica and Acoustic Guitars)]

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new

And I know I'll never ever lose affection
For people and things that went before
And I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I've loved you more

In my life I've loved you more

[Ending (Harmonica and Acoustic Guitars)]

Street To Lean On lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar and Organ)]

Bag lady's complainin'
To the cop on the beat
She says she's got nowhere to go
She got nothin' to eat

Cop says, "Lady, have you considered
A life of crime?
You know you can eat real good
When you're doin' time"

And she has got no galleria
She's got no mall
All she's got is the street to lean on
And the gutter when she falls, yeah

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Do you see them gang bangers?
They gonna have a fight
You know they gonna knock somebody's teeth out
Maybe put out somebody's lights

We're gonna have to bust 'em
Put 'em all away in jail
You know it's the nineteenth time this month
Ain't gonna be no bail

And they have got no galleria
They got no mall
All they got is the street to lean on
And the gutter when they fall

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Fat lady with the wig on
She's down here buyin' antiques
She says "Can't you control these kids?
They're actin' like a bunch of freaks"

And the kids are givin' her the finger
They re talkin 'bout takin' her purse
And the street keeps gettin' hotter
The traffic keeps gettin' worse

And they have got no galleria
They got no mall
All they got is the street to lean on
And the gutter when they fall, yeah

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Do you see that politician?
Don't he look sincere
You know he will promise you anything
As long as he's down here

But he's gonna go home to the valley
To his house and lawn
And we will still be here
When he is gone

And we have got no galleria
We got no mall
All we got is the street to lean on
And the gutter when we fall, yeah

We got is the street to lean on
And the gutter

[Ending (Electric Guitar)]

Bad Boyz lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Electric Guitars)]

Have you been watchin' the bad boyz
Hangin' around the schoolyard?
Has anyone tried to figure out
How it is they got so bitter and hard

Does anyone have the faintest idea
How we gonna explain
Life to them so far

They can't hang out on the street
They can't hang out with the boyz
Unless they're packin' heat
And ready to make some noise like the bad boyz

Have you been watchin' the hatred
Growing every day between the children?
Have you been watchin' the races
On each other's cases and all suspicious?

Somebody's always in your face
It's almost like bein' raped
You're so defenseless

You can't hang out on the street
You can't hang out with the boyz
Unless you're packin' heat
Ready to make some noise like the bad boyz

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Hope you get there in time
Lose 'em all down the line

Way down yonder on the plantation
Today it's called the 'hood and everyone's restless
They feel deserted and abandoned
They do the best they can but life is ruthless

If ya never did care about your neighbor
Cuz their frightening behavior
Get through to ya

Don't ya see they can't hang out on the street
They can't hang out with the boyz
Unless they're packin' heat
Ready to make some noise they're the bad boyz

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

They can't hang out on the street
They can't hang out with the boyz
Unless they're packin' heat
Ready to make some noise they're the bad boyz

They're the bad boyz

[Ending (Electric Guitar)]

After The Storm lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Acoustic Guitars)]

After the clouds disappear
After the rainbow has gone
I'm left with a song in my ear
The melody is lingering on

How come I have to explain
Music is worth all the pain

After the rain washes down
After all the fog burns away
Will I see the sun coming 'round?
Closer and closer each day

How come I have to explain
People are worth all the pain
I just want to see the love in your eyes
After the storm has passed you and gone

When you're dreaming of how it can be
It doesn't work to pretend
Let me tell you what happened to me
Just to get to the end
I needed a friend

After the rainbow had gone
It's so sad losing a friend
But the memories are lingering on

How come I have to explain
Children are worth all the pain
I just want to see the love in your eyes
After the storm has passed you and gone

I just want to see the love in your eyes
After the storm has passed you and gone

Panama lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Percussion, Synth and Electric Guitar)]

Have you seen Panama
Where I first fell in love
It will forever be an emerald necklace
Set between the seas

Beside a crystal stream
In the mountains of Chiriqui
I saw a girl astride a horse she waved at me
I was fifteen

I was not a child I was not yet a man
I was trying very hard to understand
Indifferent to the dangers of living in a foreign land
Was I falling in love or under the spell Of Panama?

[Instrumental (Percussion, Synth and Electric Guitar)]

Went riding off alone
Much further than I should have gone
I wandered deep into the dark
Now which way gets me home

Then suddenly there she was
All covered with leaves and dust
I couldn't believe it but she followed me
Now both of us were lost

I was not a child I was not yet a man
I was trying very hard to understand
Indifferent to the dangers of living in a foreign land
Was I falling in love or under the spell Of Panama?

[Instrumental (Percussion, Synth and Electric Guitar)]

The clouds began to rumble
We found a dry piece of jungle
I don't remember if It rained
But I remember making love

So clearly I recall
The magic of Panama
And surely never will it let me go
Yo Soy Panameno

I was not a child I was not yet a man
I was trying very hard to understand
Indifferent to the dangers of living in a foreign land
Was I falling in love or under the spell Of Panama?

[Instrumental (Percussion, Synth and Electric Guitar)]

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la ...

"Live It Up" (1990)

Live It Up lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Synths)]

Live it up
Live it up

Don't need the look of a millionaire
Takes more than money just to live it up
Don't need designer on the things I wear
Takes more than fashion just to live it up

Don't need my home sitting in Bel Air
Forty room apartment just to live it up
Don't need Jacuzzis or midnight affairs
Neighbors in the nude just to live it up

But I need to live it up, oh, oh, oh
I need to live it up, oh, oh, oh
I want to live it up, live it up

Don't need connections for a ringside seat
Takes more than power just to live it up
Don't need the keys to the governor's suite
Takes more than politics to live it up

Don't like the tricks they play on Easy Street
So don't do me favors just to live it up
Don't need to mingle with the stars I meet
Backstage passes just to live it up

But I need to live it up, oh, oh, oh
I need to live it up, oh, oh, oh
I want to live it up, live it up oooh

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Just look around you
So many ways that you can live it up, really got to live it up
It's all around you
All you gotta do is open up, all you do is open up

Don't need to drink 'til we all fall down
Takes more than liquor just to live it up
Don't need no dealer pushing me around
Takes more than chemicals to live it up

Don't need a ticket to a gambling town
Twenty-one don't get it just to live it up
Why are we looking in the lost and found?
People try so hard just to live it up

But I need to live it up, oh, oh, oh
I need to live it up, oh, oh, oh
I want to live it up, oh, oh, oh
I got to live it up, live it up

But I need to live it up, oh, oh, oh
I need to live it up, live it up, oh, oh, oh
I want to live it up, oh, oh, oh
I got to live it up, live it up

But I need to live it up, oh, oh, oh
I need to live it up, live it up, oh, oh, oh
I want to live it up, oh, oh, oh
I got to live it up, live it up

If Anybody Had A Heart lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

If anybody had a heart
Yours would never be broken
If anybody had a heart like mine

In this world of right and wrong
The hardest part is beginning
And by the time you get where you belong
You're either losing or winning

Well, I don't know how but people seem to know
When you want somebody bad enough
Ah, well I want you now and wherever you go
I'm gonna love you till you've had enough

If anybody had a heart
Yours would never be broken
If anybody had a heart like mine

Some people treat you like the clothes you wear
They only see what you show them
Just let them talk baby I don't care
They don't know where we're going

But I love you so much and I have for so long
How could anybody doubt it?
Ah, just one little touch and my love is so strong
Baby, how can we live without it?

If anybody had a heart
Yours would never be broken
If anybody had a heart like mine

When you love somebody
You might stumble, you might fall
If you love somebody hard enough
You might just get it all

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

If anybody had a heart
Yours would never be broken
If anybody had a heart like mine

If anybody had a heart
Yours would never be broken
If anybody had a heart like mine

If anybody had a heart
Yours would never be broken
If anybody had a heart like mine

Tomboy lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Electric Guitar)]

She's one of the guys, yeah and you can trust her
Tell her anything that she's so alive
She can shoot pool and she can really drive
She ain't afraid of nothin' 'cept maybe boys with their minds on lovin'

Tomboy
Always with the wrong boy
You need a strong boy
Tomboy, Tomboy

I don't understand she's never been close
To a lovin' man she goes all a-quiver over these fools
That won't bother with her she's so fine
What can't I do with this love of mine?

Tomboy
Always with the wrong boy
You need a strong boy
Tomboy, Tomboy

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

She's got a heart of gold givin' you everything
Put herself on hold thinks she can laugh enough
So you never see what she's coverin' up in her world
There's thousands of friends and one lonely girl

Tomboy
Always with the wrong boy
You need a strong boy
Tomboy, Tomboy

Tomboy
Always with the wrong boy
You need a strong boy
Tomboy, Tomboy

Haven't We Lost Enough? lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Acoustic guitar)]

I was with you you were alone
Now I'm standing here
Wisdom came only after you'd gone
So I'm starting all over with a tear in my eye
I just never thought that you'd disappear

In the night your image arises
Close behind comes the pain
I hope I'm dreaming 'cos it hurts so bad
When I reach out for you I'm alone in some room
I just never thought that you'd disappear

I still love you
Like a child wasn't I good enough?
I still want you
Drives me wild
Haven't we had it rough?
Haven't we lost enough?

Time heals all so they say I don't know
Sometimes nothing is clear
Maybe someday I'll understand
But I know for a start there's a place in my heart
That is yours and it won't disappear

I still love you
Like a child wasn't I good enough?
I still want you
Drives me wild
Haven't we had it rough?

I still love you
Like a child wasn't I good enough?
I still want you
Drives me wild
Haven't we had it rough?
Haven't we lost enough?

Yours And Mine lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Percussion and Electric Piano)]

I can see a boy of fourteen
He's got a rifle in his hand
He's dying to defend his desert land

He's got an arm around his father
Another arm around his gun
Must the child in the father die so young?

There's a teenage girl in Belfast
Playing in the street
Her brother plays a different game and he's turning up the heat

On the soldiers around the corner
And the powers overseas
And who are they to ruin lives like these?

'Cos they're yours and they're mine
They're yours and mine
'Cos they're yours and they're mine
Yours and mine

[Instrumental (Soprano Sax)]

So you think that it's so easy
Just to let I pass you by
You watch T.V. and pretend it's all a lie

But you know there is no Third World
It happens to us all
There's just one world and the kids are the first to fall

And they're yours and they're mine
They're yours and mine
And they're yours and they're mine
They're yours and mine
They're yours and they're mine
Yours and mine

And she raised him for something
Better than a bullet
He's a every mother's son

And she raised him for something
Better than a bullet
He's a every mother's son

And she raised him for something
Better than a bullet
He's a every mother's son

His life's hanging from a trigger
I won't to pull it

'Cos they're yours and they're mine
They're yours and mine
'Cos they're yours and they're mine
They're yours and mine
'Cos they're yours and they're mine
They're yours and mine
'Cos they're yours and they're mine
Yours and mine

[Instrumental Ending (Soprano Sax and Percussion)]

(Got To Keep) Open lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Synth)]

Well, it's high time you realize that I must live my life as it surrounds me
I can give you all the room you need to be yourself as I am in the same key
We can live our lives together yes, and still remain ourselves if we believe
And I believe oh, oh, darlin'

Got to keep an open heart got to keep an open mind
Got to keep workin' hard or you get left behind
Got to keep lovin', got to keep givin'
Got to let nothin' get in the way of livin'
Gotta keep open

I've given you my heart I give my soul I give you everything I have
Yes, and just as there's a special part of you that's yours alone to keep I'm glad
There is so much we can do together everything you need if we believe
And I believe, oh, oh darlin'

Got to keep an open heart, got to keep an open mind
Got to keep workin' hard or you get left behind
Got to keep lovin', got to keep givin'
Got to let nothin' get in the way of livin'
Gotta keep open

I was looking for love I was losing my mind
I was searching for someone to care
I was fighting my feelings to turn and to run
And I looked in your heart and I saw there was somebody there

So I'm sitting on the river in your city and I'm writing out these words
And I hope that you will listen to my song 'cos it is mine and now it's yours
I'm the master of my fate and the captain of my soul
And I believe yes, I believe oh, oh, darlin'

Got to keep an open heart, got to keep an open mind
Got to keep workin' hard or you get left behind
Got to keep lovin', got to keep givin'
Got to let nothin' get in the way of livin'
Gotta keep open

[Instrumental (Percussion and Accordion)]

Gotta keep open, open, open ...

Straight Line lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Electric Guitar)]

Looking around it's plain to see
So many people trying to be
Just what they want and who's to say
They'll never get there someday

Walk in a straight line
Walking in a straight line
Hard times
Walking in a straight line

Always wanting to find your way
True to yourself you've got to stay
Trying so hard it's not easy I know
Never give up but if you have got to go

Walk in a straight line
Walking in a straight line
Hard times
Walking in a straight line

One day at a time is in your mind
You know that it can come true
So reach for your dreams and as crazy as it seems
Believing is all you can do oh, oh

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Who's to say if I'm right or wrong
I know that I've just got to be strong
Maybe I'll never see that day
Still I'll fight for it anyway

Walk in a straight line
Walking in a straight line
Hard times
Walking in a straight line

Straight line
Walking in a straight line
Walking in a straight line (Hard times)
Walking in a straight line
Walking in a straight line
Walking in a straight line

House Of Broken Dreams lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Acoustic Guitar)]

Living in a house of broken dreams
Where shadows throw shadows on the wall
And memories are mountains to climb
Knowing everyone can fall

And here where the cobwebs count the hours
Since we let the laughter clear the air
Painfully trying to touch
Knowing that we used to care

Separate houses separate hearts
It's hard to face the feelings tearing us apart
And in this house of broken dreams love lies

[Instrumental (Synth and Acoustic Guitar)]

Can we keep our castles in the air
While we're keeping both feet on the ground?
'Cos if your heart can touch another heart
Love can turn it all around

Get rid of those empty glances and empty sighs
Or tears of longing will fill your eyes
In this house of broken dreams love hides

[Ending (Synth and Acoustic Guitar)]

Arrows lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Electric Piano)]

Arrows turned inward are good for the soul
I have a thing about arrows
And diamonds and coal
Pressure turning carbon to jewels

Slowly they aim at my iron mark
Flaming healing arrows
They beat at my heart
Angels turning metal to tools

I don't care what you think has got you down
You can turn it around
I don't care what you think turn it around
Turn it around, turn it around

The times that I knew I could never get through
That's when I grew up the most
And alone sounds so sad
But alone I found the best friend I had

I don't care what you think has got you down
You can turn it around
I don't care what you think turn it around
Turn it around, turn it around

Arrows turned inward are good for the soul
Piercing through every callus
They always get through
My target is a heart no-one fools

[Intsrumental (Soprano Sax)]

Turn it around, turn it around ...

After The Dolphin lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Radio Broadcast + Electric Piano + Synth)]

At the Dolphin the beer flowed like wine
And people were drinking
Over there there were lives on the line
But not at the Dolphin

Across the ocean the world was at war
And bullets were flying
In the air there's a plane headed for
The heart of the Dolphin
It's after the Dolphin

[Instrumental (Synth)]

They were laughing and drinking and carrying on
And then in the blink of an eye they were gone, gone, gone

So was the Dolphin
So was the Dolphin
Gone was the Dolphin

What will become of us all?
Who knows the story?
Will we witness the final fall
Of the hope and the glory?

Blinded by honor they fought eye to eye
Now men without faces rain fire from the sky
When you kill from a distance is anyone to blame?
And the armies of warfare will never be the same again

After the Dolphin
After the Dolphin
After the Dolphin

[Instrumental (Radio Broadcast, Electric Piano, Synth and Electric Guitar)]

After the Dolphin
After the Dolphin
After the Dolphin ...

[Ending (Radio Broadcast)]

Chuck's Lament lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Synths)]

I think one drop of water in the ocean
Could be the one that sets a wave in motion
That roams around the world

I think one grain of sand upon the beach
Could be the one that lifts you high enough to reach
All around the world

Through the days of endless dreaming
All our lifelong games are played
Watching all the world before us
Waiting for the big parade

You and me, do we leave it to the children?
You and me, what are we leaving what will we be?
You and me, when we're standing and be counted
You and me, do we give it up or let it be?

In my nightmare I am dreaming
All my fears are here with me
I can't wait to find the answer
Face the future and let us be

You and me, do we leave it to the children?
You and me, what are we leaving what will we be?
You and me, when we're standing and be counted
You and me, do we give it up or let it be?

I can't wait to find the answer
Face the future and let us be
I can't wait to find the answer
Face the future and let us be

War Games lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Synths)]

Can you stop your instincts?
Can you man your thought control, sir?
Can you give the last command
Or lie to a good soldier

I'm a doubter, I'm a fool
I am but a man
Cast me out or let me be
All that I am

I am not so sure
What you want me for
Either your machine
Is a fool or me

Now there is no time to wait
No time to think it over
Take the path, believe the math
You'll tell me when it's over

I'm a fighter, I've a question
Won't you answer me?
I have earned the right to know
And tell you what I see

I am not so sure
What you want me for
Either your machine
Is a fool or me

Barrel Of Pain lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Electric Guitars)]

I can see the writing on the wall
I can hear the axe before it falls
I can really feel it gettin' through to me

I can see the sea begin to glow
I can feel it leaking down below
I can barely stand it what you're doing to me

And in the morning will you still feel the same?
How you going to stop yourself from going insane
With glowing children and a barrel of pain
I don't want to hear it, hear it

I can feel the heat begin to rise
I can see the vapors in my eyes
Anyway you look at this it's hard to take

I can feel my skin begin to peel
I can see the dollar and the deal
I can see the companies that are on the make, yes they are

And in the morning will you still feel the same?
How you going to stop yourself from going insane
With glowing children and a barrel of pain
I don't want to hear it, no, no

I can see the writing on the wall
I can hear the axe
I can really feel it gettin' through to me and you, and you, and you

I can see the sea begin to glow
I can feel it leaking down below
I can barely stand it what we're doing to us

And in the morning will you still feel the same?
How you going to stop yourself from going insane, insane
With glowing children and a barrel of pain
I don't want to hear it, no, no, no ...

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Hear it ...

Blackbird lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Acoustic Guitar)]

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night

[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar)]

Mmm, mmm ... do, do, do ...

Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

He Played Real Good For Free lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

I slept last night in a good hotel
I went shopping today for jewels
The wind rushed around the dirty town
And the children let out from their schools

I was standing on a noisy corner
I was waiting for the walking green
Across the street he stood
And he played real good
He was playin' real good for free

Me I play for fortunes
And those velvet curtain calls
I got a black limousine and about thirty-seven criminal
Escorting me to this halls

And I'll play if you have some money
Or if you're a friend to me
But that one-man band by the quick lunch stand
He was just playin' real good for free

Nobody, I say nobody, nobody stopped to hear him
Though he played so sweet and high
They knew they had never seen him on their TV screen
So they passed his music by

Me I meant to go over ask for a song
Maybe put on a harmony
I heard his refrain as the signals changed
He was still playin' real good for free

For What It's Worth lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Electric Guitar and Keyboards)]

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I've got to beware

Think it's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

[Instrumental (Keyboards)]

There's battle lines being drawn again
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong again
Young people speaking their minds once again
So much resistance from behind

Think it's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

[Instrumental (Keyboards)]

What a field day for the heat
A thousand people standing in the street
Singing songs and carrying the signs, oh no
They mostly say "hooray for our side"

We've got to stop
Hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step outta line the men come and shoot you down

Think it's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound
Hey, hey, hey we've got to stop and take a look around
No, no, yeah stop, hey, what's that sound hey, hey, hey
We've got to stop and take a look around

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Think it's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound
Look what's going down yeah, yeah, yeah

Turn Your Back On Love lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Electric Guitars)]

Mmm ...

Is this a prison
Or do you call it love?
You will know for certain someday
It'll never be tough enough

When love is hidden
It is below above
And you know when you run away
You turn your back on love

Lonely days and lonely nights
Will we ever get it right
Don't be blinded by the light
Turn your back on love no, no

You're dying to prove
That you are never wrong
You're so right you'd rather be sad
But you won't go along

You built a wall, didn't ya
'Round what you're thinking of
Never mind what anyone says
You're turning your back on love

Lonely days and lonely nights
Will we ever get it right
Don't be blinded by the light
Turn, turn, turn
Would you turn your back on love

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Aaah ... aaah ...
Isn't it my life
Tell me what else it is
You can do whatever you want
If you will take a risk

When is it my love
How will you handle it to wit
There are two whenever we are
If you can hear the kiss

If you believe it
Love is quite strong enough
Be together honest and free
No turning back on love

Lonely days and lonely nights
Will we ever get it right
Don't be blinded by the light
Turn your back on love

Turn your back
Turn your back on love ...

Wasted On The Way lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Acoustic Guitar and Electric Piano)]

Look around me
I can see my life before me
Running rings around the way it used to be

I am older now
I have more than what I wanted
But I wish that I had started long before I did

And there's so much time to make up everywhere you turn
Time we have wasted on the way
So much water moving underneath the bridge
Let the water come and carry us away

[Instrumental (Fiddle)]

Oh, when you were young
Did you question all the answers
Did you envy all the dancers who had all the nerve

Look around you now
You must go for what you wanted
Look at all my friends who did and got what they deserved

So much time to make up everywhere you turn
Time we have wasted on the way
So much water moving underneath the bridge
Let the water come and carry us away

So much love to make up everywhere you turn
Love we have wasted on the way
So much water moving underneath the bridge
Let the water come and carry us away
Let the water come and carry us away

Southern Cross lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Acoustic Guitars)]
Oooh ...

Got out of town on a boat goin' to Southern islands
Sailing a reach before a followin' sea
She was makin' for the trades on the outside
And the downhill run to Papeete

Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas
We got eighty feet of the waterline nicely making way
In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away

Think about
Think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me larger voices callin'
What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten

(Around the world) I have been around the world
(Lookin') Lookin' for that woman girl
(Who knows she knows) Who knows love can endure
And you know it will

When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
You understand now why you came this way
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small
But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a comin' day

So I'm sailing for tomorrow my dreams are a dyin'
And my love is an anchor tied to you tied with a silver chain
I have my ship and all her flags are a' flyin'
She is all that I have left and music is her name

Think about
Think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me larger voices callin'
What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten

(I've been around the world) I have been around the world
(Lookin') Lookin' for that woman girl
Who knows love can endure
And you know it will, and you know it will yes

[Instrumental (Electric Guitars)]
Oooh ...

So we cheated and we lied and we tested
And we never failed to fail it was the easiest thing to do
You will survive being bested
Somebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you
At the southern cross

Into The Darkness lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Electric Guitars)]

Into the darkness soon you'll be sinking
What are you doing? What can you be thinking
All of your friends have been trying to warn you
That some of your demons are dying to drag you

Away (Into the darkness) into the darkness
Into the darkness away

All of your life you've been making your payments
Alone on the phone with your business arrangements
No wonder no one could ever get near you
You're screaming too loud no one can hear you

I see you coming to the end of the day
And was it worth it? No one can say
I see your face it is ghostly pale
Into the sunset we are watching you sail

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Temperature's rising over the rainbow
What are you hiding? Afraid of your shadow
We have been trying, trying to find you
There's no use denying our love is behind you

Stay out of the darkness
Out of the darkness stay

[Ending (Electric Guitar)]

Delta lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Piano)]

Waking
Stream of consciousness
On a sleeping
Street of dreams

Thoughts
Like scattered leaves
Slowed in midfall
Into the streams

Of fast running rivers
Of choice and chance
And time stops here on the delta
While they dance, while they dance Mmm, mmm ...

[Instrumental (Piano and Synth)]

I love the child
Who steers this riverboat
But lately he's crazy
For the deep

And the river seems dreamlike
In the daytime
And someone keeps thinking
In my sleep

Of fast running rivers
Of choice and chance
And It seems as if time stops here on the delta (Time stops here on the delta)
While they dance, while they dance, while they dance ... mmm ... do, do, do ...

[Ending (Piano and Electric Guitar)]
Mmm ...

Since I Met You lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Guitars and Piano)]

Since I met you

In the time it takes to count from one to four
I'll be back and asking you is there more
Yes it is all about your loving
I am yours I can't get enough of your love

Since I met you

Might be all about I like the things you say
I don't really care do you? Either way, yeah
Feeling very strong about you I don't want to live
Without your love

Since I met you

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

I met you
I became a stronger man
Trying too hard
To prove too much before

If you're trying to relax
Don't ask questions
That will surely tax you later on
You'll have your answer yeah

Best of all you never worry but always care
All you need to know is that I am there, yes I am
Don't know why you ever chose me
Heaven knows we certainly have loved enough

Since I met you

Since I met you, since I met you girl
Since I met you, since I met you girl
Since I met you, since I met you girl, girl, girl

Too Much Love To Hide lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Electric Guitars)]

Can I sing a song to the woman
Take a look at what you might be missing
With a certain love that you know will stand
It takes a good woman and a good man, I believe

I believe, I believe enough don't I
I believe when I see her eyes
I believe there is too much love to hide

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Boy don't stand there in the shadows
Let her know you care about what she knows
Turn your mind into a window
And the listener will lead who follows, I believe

I believe, I believe enough don't I
I believe when I see her eyes
I believe there is too much love to hide

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

If you don't trust at all you lose
You are bound to fall
Lost behind your wall

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

I believe, I believe enough don't I
I believe when I see her eyes
I believe there is too much love to hide
Too much, too much

So you know now you found out
This is the kind of love you can shout about
Leave your loneliness in the past
This is the kind of love that's gonna last, I believe

I believe, I believe enough don't I
I believe when I see her eyes
I believe there is too much love to hide
Too much, too much

[Instrumental Ending (Electric Guitar)]

Song For Susan lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Piano)]

If anyone wants to know where to find me
I'll be right here in the warmth of your arms
'Cause you you're the one I can trust in
You've never done me harm

I'm putting all my troubles behind me
I don't feel the same when I'm away from your smile
'Cause you you're the one that can calm me down
Whenever I get wild

Fooling myself about how to exist
All by myself there was much I had missed
You came and showed me what happiness is

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Fooling myself about how to exist
All by myself there was much I had missed
You came and showed me what happiness is

If anyone wants to know where my heart is
Tell everyone that's it's wrapped around yours
'Cause you you're the one I can turn to
You opened up the door

You Are Alive lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Guitars and Electric Piano)]

When you know there's someone you can talk to
And she's waiting by the door when you get home
With her hand she'll caress away your worries

You are alive
I hope you know
That you're alive

When you're waiting for her standing by the doorway
And your heart is laughing as she turns the key
Here it comes again always the same feeling

You are alive
And so is she

Do you know what life would be without her?
Do you know what loneliness can be?
You'll die by yourself only with someone else, why?

[Instrumental (Harmonica)]

When it's all a game and there is no pleasure
And you're just like all the rest cannot see
And you're feeling like there's no more point in searching

Are you alive?
How could it be
Are you alive?
I'd like to see
If you're alive

Might As Well Have A Good Time lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Piano)]

There are windows on the water
Lighting up the silver strand
Shining on the sea
Shining on the sea

And the ocean's just a player
On an old piano
Who repeats one melody
Repeats one melody

I belong on the shore
Hustlin' nickels and dimes
'Cause it ain't long before it's gone
You might as well have a good time

[Instrumental (Piano)]

Well, the elbows of his jacket
Are blue and shiny
He's drunk and gone to seed
He's drunk and gone to seed

And he mumbles as he plays
The only song he knows
It's the only song he needs
The only song he needs

I belong on the shore
Hustlin' nickels and dimes
'Cause it ain't long before it's gone
You might as well have a good time

[Instrumental (Piano)]

All his restless music
Don't mean a damn thing to me
The shallow or the deep
Said, the shallow or the deep

And if you're free this evening
We'll go out together
And party 'till we sleep
I said, party 'till we sleep

And I belong on the shore
Hustlin' nickels and dimes
'Cause it ain't long before it's gone
You might as well have a good time

I belong on the shore
Hustlin' nickels and dimes
'Cause it ain't long before it's gone
You might as well have a good time
You might as well have a good time

Daylight Again lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Daylight Again / Find The Cost Of Freedom]

[Intro. (Acoustic Guitars)]

Daylight again
Following me to bed
I think about a hundred years ago
How my father's bled

I think I see a valley
Covered with bones in blue
All the brave soldiers that cannot get older
Been asking after you

Hear the past a' calling
From Armageddon's side
When everyone's talking and no one is listening
How can we decide

[Instrumental (Banjo)]

Do we find the cost of freedom
Buried in the ground
Mother Earth will swallow you
Lay your body down

Raise A Voice lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Harmonica)]

We're all on our own
So look at us all
How can we not raise a voice
Against the madness

There isn't the time
To wander or wait
'Cause only the young can carry the weight
And face the silence

Do we run, do we stop
Do we lie down? I think not
There's an answer that we've got
We are not helpless, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Instrumental (Harmonica)]

The vision will stand
As blindness will fall
Now we must look for the light
In the darkness

Do we run, do we stop
Do we lie down? I think not
There's an answer that we've got
We are not helpless, no, no, no, oh

[Ending (Synths)] oh ...

Feel Your Love lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

Over and over I try to convince myself
I was only dreaming
Over my shoulder the shadows of loneliness
Set my soul to screaming

I can’t feel your love
I can’t feel it anymore
I can’t feel your love
I can’t feel it anymore

Left by the wayside
I think about being
Without your love
Tell me of your love

Give me a sign that I’m crazy or something
I need to hear from you, babe
Even if what I imagine is true
You must tell me what to do, babe

With these fears in the night
Tears in the light
Love and you might
Be loved

You might be loved
You might be loved
Tell me of your love

I don’t want to be hearing from anyone else
What you do when I’m not around
It’s hard enough dealing with how strong my love is
The gossip sounds

So far all the wrong reasons I doubt myself
And I lose my love

Baby forgive me
I’m probably just getting older and insecure
Haven’t we all been professional children so long
Nothing is sure
When I feel your love
I don’t worry anymore
I can feel your love
I can feel it, I am sure

I can feel your love
Can you feel my love?
Feel your love

Tomorrow Is Another Day lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

Have you got the room for me
And your heartache?
My love is not pushing you
Around this way.

If you think you see another love
As strong as me, and you must go see
I’ll miss you, girl.
I won’t resist your curiosity.

‘Cause tomorrow is another day.
And there is little else that would break my heart,
It’s yours anyway.
Don’t ask me why.

Let me see,
Can this be put another way?
There are times when life just turns on you,
It seems that way.

But if what you love should fly away,
Let it go
And if it comes back anyway,
It will never fly away again.

And tomorrow is more than another day.
It’s the beginning
Of what you started yesterday.
Don’t ask me why.

Tomorrow is another day.
And there is little else that would break my heart.
Tomorrow is more than another day.
It’s the beginning of what you started yesterday.

"CSN" (1977)

Shadow Captain lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Slide Guitar and Piano)]

Oh, captain what are we hiding from?
You've been hiding from the start
Did some lover steal your heart
Or did the full moon make you mad?

Oh, captain why these speechless seas
That never come to land?
Oh, I need to understand
Could a little light be that bad?

[Instrumental (Piano)]

I can see your hands are roughened
By the wheel and the rope
I'd like to look to you for hope
I think it's hiding there

This boat is blacked out like a city
Awaiting bombers in the night
Oh, you hold your helm so tight
And yet the sky seems so fair

Who guides this ship
Dreaming through the seas
Turning and searching
Whichever way you please?

Speak to me
I need to see your face
Shadowy captain
In a darkened space

[Instrumental (Piano)]

If I were to spy a city
Floating just above the sea
Could we stop and look for me
Among those playing on the pier?

Or would you turn away knowing
It was still a ways away
And if I was there today
You could not see me all that clear

Who guides this ship
Dreaming through the seas
Turning and searching
Whichever way you please?

Speak to me
I need to see your face
Shadowy captain
In a darkened space

[Instrumental (Piano)]

Shadow captain of a charcoal ship
Shadow captain of a charcoal ship
Trying to give the light the slip

[Ending (Piano)]

See The Changes lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Acoustic Guitar)]

She has seen me changing
It ain't easy rearranging
And it gets harder as you get older
Farther away as you get closer

And I don't know the answer
Does it even matter?
I'm wonderin' how

[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar)]

Ten years singing right out loud
I never looked was anybody listening
Then I fell out of a cloud
I hit the ground and noticed something missing

Now I have someone
She has seen me changing
And it gets harder as you get older
And farther away as you get closer

And I don't know the answer
Does it even matter?
I'm wonderin' how

[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar)]

Seems like something out of a dream
I had years ago yes, I remember screaming
Nobody laughing all the good times
Getting harder to come by without weeping

Now I have someone
She has seen me changing
And it gets harder as you get older
And farther away

Carried Away lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Piano)]

You came from out of the skies
Your skin and your eyes
The colours of bronze
The moon in your ear
Twinkled and shone
Soon you'll be gone

Sailing out on the blue
Your old man and you
Drifting along
Leaving me here
Thinking it through
Soon you'll be gone

Moving through my changes as fast as I can
Trying to bring a balance to me and the man
Part of me is screaming to say
I want to be carried away

[Instrumental (Harmonica)]

Moving through my changes as fast as I can
Trying to bring a balance to me and the man
Part of me is screaming to say
I want to be carried away

From out of the skies
Your skin and your eyes
The colours of bronze
The moon in your ear
Twinkled and shone
Soon you'll be gone

Carried Away lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Piano)]

You came from out of the skies
Your skin and your eyes
The colours of bronze
The moon in your ear
Twinkled and shone
Soon you'll be gone

Sailing out on the blue
Your old man and you
Drifting along
Leaving me here
Thinking it through
Soon you'll be gone

Moving through my changes as fast as I can
Trying to bring a balance to me and the man
Part of me is screaming to say
I want to be carried away

[Instrumental (Harmonica)]

Moving through my changes as fast as I can
Trying to bring a balance to me and the man
Part of me is screaming to say
I want to be carried away

From out of the skies
Your skin and your eyes
The colours of bronze
The moon in your ear
Twinkled and shone
Soon you'll be gone

Fair Game lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Acoustic Guitar)]

Take a look around you tell me if you see
A girl who thinks she's ordinary lookin' she has got the key
If you can get close enough to look into her eyes
There's something special right behind the bitterness she hides

And you're fair game
You'll never know what she'll decide
You're fair game
Just relax enjoy the ride

[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar)]

Find a way to reach her make yourself a fool
But do it with a little class disregard the rules
'Cause this one knows the bottom line couldn't get a date
The ugly duckling striking back and she'll decide her fate

And you're fair game
You'll never know what she'll decide
You're fair game
Just relax enjoy the ride

[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar)]

The ones you never notice are the ones you have to watch
She's pleasant and she's friendly while she's looking at your crotch
And try your hand at conversation gossip is a lie
And sure enough she'll take you home and make you wanna die

And you're fair game
You'll never know what she'll decide
You're fair game
Just relax enjoy the ride

[Instrumental Ending (Acoustic Guitar)]

Anything At All lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Electric and Acoustic Piano)]

Anything you want to know just ask me
I'm the world's most opinionated man
I'll give you an answer if I can (Answer)
Catch one passing through (Passing through)
That feels right for you

Anything you want to know just ask me
It's worth every cent it costs
And you know it's free for you
Special deal

Ah, ah, oh, oh
De, da ...

Anything you want to know it should be perfectly clear
You see just beneath the surface of the mud
There's more mud here
Surprise

Is there anything you want to know
On any subject at all?
I've go time for one more question here
Before I fall, fall

Is there anything at all

[Ending (Electric and Acoustic Piano)]

Cathedral lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Piano)]

Six o' clock
In the morning I feel pretty good
So I dropped into the luxury of the Lords
Fighting dragons and crossing swords
With the people against the hordes who came to conquer

Seven o'clock
In the morning here it comes I taste the warning
And I'm so amazed I'm here today
Seeing things so clear this way
In the car and on my way to Stonehenge

[Instrumental (Piano)]

I'm flying in Winchester cathedral
Sunlight pouring through the break of day
Stumbled through the door and into the chamber
There's a lady setting flowers on a table covered lace
And a cleaner in the distance finds a cobweb on a face
And a feeling deep inside of me
Tells me this can't be the place

I'm flying in Winchester cathedral
All religion has to have its day
Expressions on the face of the Savior
Made me say
I can't stay

Open up the gates of the church and let me out of here
Too many people have lied in the name of Christ
For anyone to heed the call
So many people have died in the name of Christ
That I can't believe it all

Now I'm standing on the grave of a soldier that died in 1799
And the day he died it was a birthday
And I noticed it was mine
And my head didn't know just who I was
And I went spinning back in time
And I am high upon the altar
High upon the altar, high

[Instrumental (Strings)]

I'm flying in Winchester cathedral
It's hard enough to drink the wine
The air inside just hangs in delusion
But given time
I'll be fine

Open up the gates of the church and let me out of here
Too many people have lied in the name of Christ
For anyone to heed the call
Too many people have died in the name of Christ
That I can't believe it all

And now I'm standing on the grave of a soldier that died in 1799
And the day he died it was a birthday
And I noticed it was mine
And my head didn't know just who I was
And I went spinning back in time
And I am high upon the altar
High upon the altar, high

Dark Star lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Percussion + Acoustic Guitar)]

Forgive me if my fantasies might seem a little shopworn
I'm sure you've heard it all before I wonder what's the right form
Love songs written for you it's been going down for years
But to sing what's in my heart seems more honest than the tears

I am curious
Don't want to hurry us
I'm intrigued with us
Ain't this song a bust
I don't care dark star

I met you several years ago
The times they were so strange but I had a feeling
You looked into my eyes just once
An instant flashing by that we were stealing

Another time you felt so bad
And I wasn't any help at all as I recall
We didn't know quite what to do so we left the wanting be
Still there for me and you

Dark star I see you in the morning
Dark star a' sleeping next to me
Dark star let the memory of the evening
Be the first thing that you think of
When you open up your smile and see me dark star

It's easy to be with you
Even with the storms that rage beneath your search for peace
We must make some time together
Take the kids and find a world that's ours to keep

Now you've got me dreaming girl
It's been so long that I thought that I'd forgotten how
My heart is once again my soul
We touched we did you know we did no more teasing now

Dark star I see you in the morning
Dark star a' sleeping next to me
Dark star let the memory of the evening
Be the first thing that you think of
When you open up your smile and see me dark star

[Instrumental (Electric Piano + Acoustic Guitar)]

Dark star I see you in the morning
Dark star a' sleeping next to me
Dark star let the memory of the evening
Be the first thing that you think of
When you open up your smile and see me dark star

Let the memory of the evening
Be the first thing that you think of
When you open up your smile and see me dark star

Just A Song Before I Go lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Electric Guitar)]

Just a song before I go
To whom it may concern
Travelling twice the speed of sound
It's easy to get burned

When the shows were over
We had to get back home
And when we opened up the door
I had to be alone

She helped me with my suitcase
She stands before my eyes
Driving me to the airport
And to the friendly skies

Going through security
I held her for so long
She finally looked at me in love
And she was gone

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Just a song before I go
A lesson to be learned
Travelling twice the speed of sound
It's easy to get burned

[Ending (Acoustic Guitar)]

Run From Tears lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Electric Guitar and Organ)]

I don't run from tears
That's my weakness
But I know you still love me
Though you don't believe it

And I never thought that you were a loser
Only didn't hear enough of the songs
Everything was always going to be smoother
All we needed was some time left alone

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Something special
Is in me dying, yeah

Are you punishing me
For my weakness
When you know about me girl
I cannot be beaten down too far

And I didn't mean to take you for granted
Only knew that it felt good at home
But you left me so disenchanted
I was blind of course until you were gone

Yeah, I'm drowning
I'm fighting
Something special is in me dying, yeah

There's an empty place in my bed
And my heart is beating against my head, yeah
The blood rushing through my veins
Becomes a flood of tears once again

[Instrumental Ending (Electric Guitar)]

Cold Rain lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Piano)]

Cold rain down on my face
Buses hurry on
Work's out here comes the race
People heading home

Wait a second, don't I know you?
Haven't I seen you somewhere before?
You seem to be like someone I knew
Yes, he lived here but he left
When he thought that there was more

Than cold rain and nowhere to go
Many people share
Sad dreams and hopes that are stained
By the sulphur in the air

Don't I know you?
Haven't I seen you somewhere before?
You seem to be like someone I knew
He lived here but he left
When he thought that there was more

Than cold rain out on the streets
I am all alone
With cold rain down on my face
I am heading home

In My Dreams lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Acoustic Guitar)]

Look at those dancers gliding around
Seems as is their feet
Don't hardly touch the ground

Look at them smiling
Like they knew one another
And they never would come down

Turn around and hold me
I'd like to see your face alone
I'm hoping there's someone home

[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar)]

I'd like to meet you
Who do you see?
Introduce yourself to whichever of me is nearby

Close behind your eyes you're laughing at me
And I'm stuck with no instructions that I can see
To steer by

Stick around it's tricky ground
I'd like to see your face alone
I'm hoping there's someone home

[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar)]

Two or three people fading in and out
Like a radio station I'm thinking about
But I can't hear

Who gets breakfast? Who gets the lunch?
Who gets to be the boss of this bunch?
Who will steer?

Turning
Turning
To see your face alone
I'm hoping there's someone home

[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar)]

Dream
Do you dream
Dreaming
Do you?

Dream
Do you dream
Dreaming
Do you?

In my dreams
I can see, I can
I can see a love
That could be ...

I Give You Give Blind lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Piano and Electric Guitar)]

Hey, would you dig to be alone?
And tell me when will you be back home?
And why did you leave me all alone?
You blew my mind

Fool listen on to yourself
You don't know even when you been left
Tomorrow maybe you'll see the rest
I told you so

You gotta believe in something
If you don't you will be lost
You gotta believe in someone
No matter the cost

Well, hell if I've been had
Then Jesus why's it got to hurt so bad?
And when could something come and make me glad
To be alive?

[Instrumental (Piano and Electric Guitar)]

Look, you got a mind of your own
So listen when it says you could be wrong
The first time is usually when you hear the song
That sets you free

Too late you realize that burning bridges behind you
Every time you lose insisting on something
That perhaps cannot be
You blow it away

You gotta believe in something
And give it some time
You gotta believe in someone
Go over the line

So love isn't lost so easy
And livin' ain't gonna be so cool and breezy
Look in my eyes know that I am speaking freely
I give you give blind, I give you give blind
I give you give blind, oh yeah, I give you give blind

Hey would you dig to be alone?
And tell me when will you be back home?
And why did you leave me all alone?
You blew it away

Suite: Judy Blue Eyes lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Acoustic Guitar)]

It's getting to the point where I'm no fun anymore
I am sorry
Sometimes it hurts so badly I must cry out loud
I am lonely

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard

Remember what we've said and done and felt about each other
Oh, babe have mercy
Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now
I am not dreaming

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard

[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar)]

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Tearing yourself away from me now you are free
And I am crying
This does not mean I don't love you I do that's forever
Yes and for always

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard

Something inside is telling me that I've got your secret
Are you still listening?
Fear is the lock and laughter the key to your heart
And I love you

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard
And you make it hard
And you make it hard
And you make it hard

[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar)]

Friday evening
Sunday in the afternoon
What have you got to lose?

Tuesday morning
Please be gone I'm tired of you
What have you got to lose?

Can I tell it like it is? (Help me I'm sufferin')
Listen to me baby
It's my heart that's a sufferin' it's a dyin' (Help me I'm dyin')
And that's what I have to lose (To lose)

I've got an answer
I'm going to fly away
What have I got to lose?

Will you come see me
Thursdays and Saturdays?
What have you got to lose?

[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar)]

Chestnut brown canary
Ruby throated sparrow
Sing a song, don't be long
Thrill me to the marrow

Voices of the angels
Ring around the moonlight
Asking me said she so free
How can you catch the sparrow?

Marrakesh Express lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Electric Guitars)]

Looking at the world through the sunset in your eyes
Traveling the train through clear Moroccan skies
Ducks and pigs and chickens call
Animal carpet wall to wall
American ladies five-foot tall in blue

Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind
Had to get away to see what we could find
Hope the days that lie ahead
Bring us back to where they've led
Listen not to what's been said to you

Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh
All aboard the train, all aboard the train

I've been saving all my money just to take you there
I smell the garden in your hair

Take the train from Casablanca going south
Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my mouth
Colored cottons hang in the air
Charming cobras in the square
Striped djellebas we can wear at home Well, let me hear you now

Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh

Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh
All on board the train, all on board the train
All on board

Guinnevere lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Guitars)]

Guinnevere had green eyes
Like yours, mi'lady, like yours
When she'd walk down through the garden
In the morning after it rained

Peacocks wandered aimlessly
Underneath an orange tree
Why can't she see me?

Guinnevere drew pentagrams
Like yours, mi'lady, like yours
Late at night when she thought
That no one was watching at all
On the wall

Do, do, do ...
She shall be free

As she turns her gaze
Down the slope to the harbor where I lay
Anchored for a day

Guinnevere had golden hair
Like yours, mi'lady, like yours
Streaming out when we'd ride
Through the warm wind down by the bay
Yesterday

Seagulls circle endlessly
I sing in silent harmony
We shall be free

You Don't Have To Cry lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Acoustic Guitar)]

In the morning when you rise
Do you think of me and how you left me cryin'?
Are you thinkin' of telephones
And managers and where you got to be at noon?

You are living a reality
I left years ago it quite nearly killed me
In the long run it will make you cry
Make you crazy and old before your time

And the difference between me and you
I won't argue right or wrong but I have time to cry my baby
You don't have to cry
I said cry my baby you don't have to cry
I said cry my baby you don't have to cry

In the morning when you rise
Do you think of me and how you left me cryin'?
Are you thinkin' of telephones
And managers and where you got to be at noon?

You are living a reality
I left years ago it quite nearly killed me
In the long run it will make you cry
Make you crazy and old before your time

And the difference between me and you
I won't argue right or wrong but I have time to cry my baby
You don't have to cry
I said cry my baby you don't have to cry
I said cry my baby you don't have to cry

Pre-Road Downs lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

I have kissed you
So I'll miss you
On the road I'll be wantin' you

But I have you
'Cause I love you
And you have me 'cause you love me too, yeah

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Felt forsaken
You'll awaken
To the joys of livin' hand in glove

And then I will
Lend you my will
And your days will be filled with love

Don't run the time approaches
Hotels and midnight coaches
Be sure to hide the roaches

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Felt rejected
As expected
You rejected all the thoughts of words

So I'll pray with
You to stay with
Me forever and we'll make it work

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Elevated
You're elated
'Cause I've waited a year for you

If you're thinkin'
What I'm thinkin'
Then I'm gonna make my love to you

Don't run the time approaches
Hotels and midnight coaches
Be sure to hide the roaches

Wooden Ships lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Electric Guitar)]

[Stills:] If you smile at me I will understand
'Cause that is something
Everybody everywhere does in the same language
[Crosby:] I can see by your coat, my friend you're from the other side
There's just one thing I got to know
Can you tell me please who won?
[Stills:] Say can I have some of your purple berries?
[Crosby:] Yes, I've been eating them
For six or seven weeks now haven't got sick once
[Stills:] Probably keep us both alive

Wooden ships on the water very free and easy
Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline let us be
Talkin' 'bout very free and easy

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Stare as all human feelings die
We are leaving, you don't need us

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Aaaah ...
Go take your sister then by the hand
Lead her away from this foreign land
Far away where we might laugh again
We are leaving, you don't need us

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

And it's a fair wind
Blowin' warm out of the south over my shoulder
Guess I'll set a course and go
