Helplessly Hoping - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Acoustic Guitar)]

Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearby
Awaiting a word
Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit he runs
Wishing he could fly
Only to trip at the sound of goodbye

Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders
At the empty place inside
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he worries
Did he hear a good-bye?
Or even hello?

They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other

Stand by the stairway you'll see something certain to tell you
Confusion has its cost
Love isn't lying it's loose in a lady who lingers
Saying she is lost
And choking on hello

They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other

Long Time Gone lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Electric Guitar)]

It's been a long time comin'
It's goin' to be a long time gone

And it appears to be a long
Appears to be a long
Appears to be a long time
Yes, a long, long, long, long time before the dawn

Turn turn any corner
Hear you must hear what the people say
You know there's something that's goin' on around here
The surely, surely, surely won't stand the light of day, no

And it appears to be a long
Appears to be a long, mmm
Appears to be a long time
Such a long, long time before the dawn

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Speak out you got to speak out against the madness
You got to speak your mind if you dare
But don't, no don't, no, try to get yourself elected
If you do you had better cut your hair, mmm

And it appears to be a long
Appears to be a long, mmm
Appears to be a long time
Such a long, long, long, long time before the dawn

It's been a long time comin' (Long time comin')
It's goin' to be a long time gone (Long time gone)

But you know
The darkest hour
Is always, always just before the dawn

And it appears to be a long
Appears to be a long
Appears to be a long time
Such a long, long, long, long time before the dawn

49 Bye-Byes lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Intro. (Electric Guitar and Organ)]

Forty nine reasons all in a line
All of them good ones all of them lies
Driftin' with my lady we're oldest of friends
Need a little work and there's fences to mend

Steady girl be my world (Steady girl)
'Till the drifter come now she's gone (Be my world)
I let that man play his hand (Drifter come)
I let them go how was I to know? (Now you're gone)
I'm down on my knees
Nobody left to please

Now it's over they left in the spring
Her and the drifter looking for beautiful things

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar and Organ)]

Steady girl be my world (Steady girl)
'Till the drifter come now she's gone (Be my world)
I let that man play his hand (Drifter come)
I let them go how was I to know? (Now you're gone)
I'm down on my knees
Nobody left to please

On my knees
Feeling wrong
Mama's gone, oh ...

Bye, bye baby (Bye, bye baby)
Write if you think of it maybe
Know I love you (Know I love you)
Go if it means that much to you

Hey, but you can run baby
If the feeling's wrong before too long it's crazy
And you're trapped, babe, and you know that's not where it's at, babe
You're just seein' things through a cat's eye, baby

That's not my old lady
Come on and tell me baby
You better tell me baby
Who do you
Who do you love?

Time will tell us
Who is trying to sell us
Bye, bye baby (Bye, bye, bye, bye baby)
Write if you think of it maybe

Hey, but you can run baby
If the feeling's wrong before too long it's crazy
And you're trapped, babe, and you know that's not where it's at, baby
You're just seein' things through a cat's eye, baby

That's not my old lady
Come on and tell me baby
You better tell me baby
Who do you
Who do you love?

Burning For The Buddha lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash Lyrics

There's a waterfall by Heaven's door
Light is from a savior's eyes
To quench the flames that were there before
Fire touch the skies, fire touch the skies
There's a dagger in a poacher's heart
Smoldering so far below
And any spark that can start the flame
There's lightning in the shadow
Lightning in the shadow

There's a fire in my belly
Like the surface of the sun
I lay my life down for the holy one

I'm burning for the Buddha
There's nothing left to give
Nothing left to live
I'm burning for the Buddha
The ashes will never wash away

I have the right to fight against my foes
Denying my will to live
In peace beside the man who overthrows
Everything I pray for
All that I believe

I'm burning for the Buddha
There's nothing left to give
Nothing left to live
I'm burning for the Buddha
The ashes will never wash away

There's a fire in my belly
Like the surface of the sun
I lay my life down for the holy one

I'm burning for the Buddha
There's nothing to give
Nothing left to live
I'm burning for the Buddha
The ashes will never wash away

I'm burning for the Buddha
There's nothing to give
Nothing left to live
I'm burning for the Buddha
The ashes will never wash away

Carry On / Questions lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash Lyrics

One morning I woke up and I knew that you were gone.
A new day, a new way, I knew I should see it along.
Go your way, I'll go mine and carry on.

The sky is clearing and the night has gone out.
The sun, he come, the world is all full of light.
Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice but to carry on.

The fortunes of fables are able to sing the song.
Now witness the quickness with which we get along.
To sing the blues you've got to live the tunes and carry on.

Carry on, love is coming, love is coming to us all.

Where are you going now my love? Where will you be tomorrow?
Will you bring me happiness? Will you bring me sorrow?
Oh, the questions of a thousand dreams, what you do and what you see,
Lover, can you talk to me?

Girl, when I was on my own, chasing you down,
What was it made you run, trying your best just to get around?
The questions of a thousand dreams, what you do and what you see,
Lover, can you talk to me?

Our House lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash Lyrics

I'll light the fire, you place the flowers in the vase that you bought today.
Staring at the fire for hours and hours while I listen to you
Play your love songs all night long for me, only for me.

Come to me now and rest your head for just five minutes, everything is done.
Such a cozy room, the windows are illuminated by the evening
Sunshine through them, fiery gems for you, only for you.

Our house is a very, very fine house with two cats in the yard, life used to be so hard,
Now everything is easy cause of you and our la, la, la...

Our house is a very, very fine house with two cats in the yard, life used to be so hard,
Now everything is easy cause of you and our...

I'll light the fire, while you place the flowers in the vase that you bought today.

Teach Your Children lyrics - Stills & Nash Crosby

You, who are on the road must have a code that you can live by.
And so become yourself because the past is just a good bye.
Teach your children well, their father's hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams, the one they fix, the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

And you, of the tender years can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth, they seek the truth before they can die.
Teach your parents well, their children's hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams, the one they fix,the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.
