 Well I  am your secret,  babe
Watch  me unfold
Dancing  in these streets  so late
And  nobody knows
Nobody  knows  us
 The first  time I looked  at you
You  looked at me
Swimming  in this water  so cool
Just  like a river queen
Just  like a river queen
 And I  don't remember  falling  asleep
Must  have been holding  on tight
And  all I can think  of and all  I can dream
 Is dancing  with you  at red lights
The  sunshine state  is closed
Look  at the water  on the road
And  I'm gonna get  in my boat
And  to you I will float
And  to you I will float

Well  you can tell Georgia  that you were out  there in my arms  last night
 And I was holding  you like you  were mine,  and you  can tell Georgia  any time
And  you can tell Georgia that  my thinking  is clear
 And I been thinking  that I need  you near,  and  you can tell Georgia  I was here
Oh  you can tell Georgia  I was here
"Am  I waking  you up?"
 Said to me,  "Am I waking  you up?"
 Said to me,  "Am I waking  you up?"
 You said to me,  "Am I waking  you up,  dear?"
 I said, "No"
And  you can tell Georgia,  if I see  him around,  Honey I'm  gonna knock him down
 Oh everyone  be down, oh  if you  see him again,  Oh  you can  tell Georgia  where I am
 Oh you  can tell Georgia  where I am
 (chorus)
You  can tell Georgia  any time

 There's a hole  in the roof  for the stars  to fall in,  I gather  them up  for you
 Fill  up my pockets,  start walking  again, I  got these worn-out  shoes
I  got these worn-out  shoes
I  got these worn-out  shoes
 There's a hole  in my pocket  for the stars  to fall out,  and  I lose them one  at a time
 And I  didn't notice  when they  hit the ground,  the devil  was three  steps behind
 The devil  was three  steps behind
 The devil  was three  steps behind  me
 (x2)
 There's a hole  in the earth  where the  devil he stays,  and he  asked if I  could come too
 So I grabbed  my stars  and I put  them away,  I said  I was just passing  through
 Said I  was just passing  through
I  was just passing  through  here
 (x2)
 There's a hole  in the roof  for the stars  to fall in,  I gather  them up  for you
 Fill  up my pockets,  start walking  again,  Bringing  these stars  to you
Bringing  these stars  to you
Bringing  these stars  to you

 I looked  out my window  this morning
 And  I saw the strangest  thing
 Everyone  was walking  on water,  and dancing in the rain
 Oh and  darling I got  so jealous
 Just wishing  you were here  with me
 And  I saw the prettiest  people,  they were kissing in the street
 They didn't  care  who was watching,  in the middle of the street
 They didn't  care  who was watching
 But I can see blue  in the sky  when it's raining
 And I can see blue  in the sky  when it's raining
 And I can see blue  in the sky  when it's raining
 Raining on me,  and I'm waiting  on you
 Just sitting  here watching  the weather
 And I  can feel the air's  getting  colder
 They say that sometimes  the sunshine  at the party,  well she's the first one to go
 She  doesn't give  any warning,  she just gets up and goes
She  doesn't give  any warning
 (chorus)
 Oh what  would you do  if I showed  up
 On your  doorstep just  ready to go?
 Would you send  me away,  would you come out  and play?
 It's just a little  bit of rain  and I'm leaving  today
 It's just a little  bit of rain  and I'm leaving  today
 (chorus)
I  just can't seem to get it right today
I  just can't seem to get it right today
I  just can't seem to get it right today
I  guess I'm gonna  give up
 Oh,  I guess I'm gonna  give up
It's  nearly been a year since he's been  gone
We  still sing his good-bye songs
 The Mrs.  knows she should move on
But  she just can't let  him go
 No, she  just can't let  him go
I'm  sorry if I made you wanna cry
I'm  sorry if I made you wanna cry
 But you  know I never meant to hide
I  just hate bringing  you down
 Oh, I  just hate bringing  you down
I  just can't seem to get it right today
I  just can't seem to get it right today
I  just can't seem to get it right today
I  guess I'm gonna  give up
 Oh, I  guess I'm gonna  give up
 Instrumental , , , , , , , , , , ,
And  I drop my paintbrush in the dirt
Still  reminds me just how much it hurt
 I cut my hand,  wait for it to work
But  I just couldn't bring  him back
 No, I  just couldn't bring  him back
I  just can't seem to get it right today
 Oh, I  just can't seem to get it right today
I  just can't seem to get it right today
I  guess I'm gonna  give up
I  guess I'm gonna  give up

Well  you stay with me, in the balcony,
 And we'll sink  in our seas as the people  all leave
And  we can hide out as the curtain  comes down
 And then fall  asleep to the sleeping  sound
When  the morning  is drawing near
I'll  see if the coast  is clear
Green  eyes are better  than blue
 I ain't trying  to be mean,  just telling  the truth
It's  enough to make me  run away with  you
 Darling green  eyes are better  than blue
She  says, "This  isn't easy, you  know
Loving  the hands  that you ain't  supposed to hold
 And I pray  for the days  when I won't  sleep alone"
She  says, "This  isn't easy, you  know"
 (chorus)
Well  Johnny says don't  bring her  down
'Cause  when the pedestal  crumbles and falls  to the ground
 You will wish  that you left  her the way  that you'd found her
Now  Johnny says don't  bring her  down
 (chorus)
 Well I saw  you in the water  last night
 You were  smiling at me  as you slipped  out of sight
 When I woke  from my dream  I was screaming  for life
 'Cause I saw  you in the water  last night
 (chorus)
Darling  I been down and out ever  since you left town
Well  I ain't been the same, no matter  how I try
Sometimes  we don't get to choose, the ones  who wear the walking shoes
I'm  just a poor boy with the blues, no that  ain't nothing  new
I'm  gonna fill this whiskey cup, I'm  gonna pick me some banjo up
I'm  gonna play with the Tragedies, singing  good time harmonies
B.  Wright don't you let me down, play  that one called Sad Clown,
You  know that one's about me, I been thinking  about leaving  town
Well  sunshine she came out today, it  don't matter anyways
'Cause  I still see the water, and it's dripping  down my door
I  used to hear the children play, I  used to hear the birds sing
One  day they just stopped, and I don't hear  them anymore
 Repeat Chorus!
Oh  and I got caught in this whistling wind, doing  my best to regret these sins
Lord  would you forgive me if you knew  I'm gonna do it  again?
And  it's not that I'm not sorry, Lord, no it's  just that I'm not strong
'Cause  when that woman looks at me I can't  remember right  from wrong
 Repeat Chorus, overlap lyrics and get loud!

 I'm going to get to you somehow
 Honey I'm going to get to you somehow
 And I know  you been lonely,  it  don't matter now
 
 Yeah 'cause I'm going to get to you somehow, baby somehow
 (x2)
 We gonna be together one of these days
 
 Honey we're gonna be together one of these days
 I don't care  what they do,  it don't matter  what they say

Baby's  been tired,  got  no rest
She  boards a plane  with a smile
I  saw her last night  with her head  on my chest
Singing  it'll be good  if you wait  for a while
Sweet angel,  fly away  till
This  dirty city  is clean  on sight
And  call me sweet  dear, when  you get there,
And  rest your head  on shy  town tonight
Well  ...times,  it's getting  you down
I  can make you smile,  it's the one  worst clown
And  I can sing you a song,  I can send  you along
Another  will be waiting  when you  touch down
 (chorus)
Look  at the river  that  runs through the city
Look  at the buildings  that run  through the sky
Rest  your head  down  on your pillow
And  I will be waving  as you  pass by

Today  was a good day, was better  than most
 Didn't see  me no demons, didn't fight  with no ghosts
 Baby maybe  we haven't gone crazy  after all
 There's only  four seasons but even  the best ones fall
 She says, "Hold  me up darling, 'cause I  can't see straight
 Been drinking  again, and staying  up late
 Hope you'll understand  that it's just  that time of year
 There's only  four seasons but these feelings  are always here
And  I haven't been here since I  don't know when
 But things  sure look different than they  did back then
They're  colder now, you say that's just  the way that it goes
 But true friends  they don't change every time  that the wind blows
We  been at this party a little  too long
 I ain't putting  it down, Honey don't  get me wrong
 I just think  it's time to be moving  towards the door
 'Cause there's only  four seasons, and I'm looking  for something more
 So let's pack  our bags, get out  of this town
Head  up the coast where the wind  knocks you down
 Where the people  you know are the people  you thought that you knew
 There's only  four seasons and I guess  we'll be leaving soon

Sally  wake up you don't have to pretend anymore
'Cause  while you were sleeping I drove us to someplace the weather will always be warm
We  can go outside and bury our faces in the sun
 There's no  need to worry 'cause no one will ask us where it is that we came from
 We can walk  on Main  Street,  dance in these honky tonk  bars
No  one will  know who we  are
Well  you like the water so much you could be a fish
We're  right by the ocean so you can go dipping any old time that you wish
We'll  watch the sunset, make love in the old lifeguard stand
When  the setting is done and we've lost the sun we will nap on a blanket upstairs
 We can walk  on water,  dance  in the light of the  moon
Honey,  just  me and you
We'll  wake to a restaurant with fancy napkins and plates
We'll  watch the old man as he walks to the big white piano and sits down and plays
The  maitre d' calls me lucky as he pours our wine
What  a beautiful girl and I know in this world that the good ones are so hard to find
 We can walk  on red carpet,  dance to our favorite  songs
We  can stay all  night long
Sally  wake up, you don't have to pretend any more
'Cause  while you were sleeping I drove us to someplace the weather will always be warm
 END!!! ENJOY!

[C]And it's not that I'm not sorry, Lord, no it's[G] just that I'm not strong
[Am]'Cause when that woman looks at me I can[F]'t remember r[G]ight from wrong

[Bb]Today was a good day, was be[Gm]tter than most
Didn't s[C]ee me no demons, didn't [F]fight with no ghosts
Baby ma[Bb]ybe we haven't gone cr[C]azy after all[Dm]    [F]
There's [Bb]only four seasons but [C]even the best ones fal[F]l

[Bb] [C] [F]

She says, "[Bb]Hold me up darling, 'cause [Gm]I can't see straight
Been dr[C]inking again, and s[F]taying up late
Hope you'll [Bb]understand that it's j[C]ust that time of ye[Dm]ar [F]
There's o[Bb]nly four seasons but these fe[C]elings are always here[F]

[Bb] [C] [F]

[Bb]And I haven't been here since [Gm]I don't know when
But [C]things sure look different than t[F]hey did back then
[Bb]They're colder now, you say that's j[C]ust the way that it goe[Dm]s    [F]
But true [Bb]friends they don't change every t[C]ime that the wind blows [F]

I ain't p[C]utting it down, Honey do[F]n't get me wrong
I just t[Bb]hink it's time to be mo[C]ving towards the doo[Dm]r   [F]
'Cause there's o[Bb]nly four seasons, and I'm lo[C]oking for something mor[F]e

[Bb] [C] [F]

So let's [Bb]pack our bags, get [Gm]out of this town
[C]Head up the coast where the [F]wind knocks you down
Where the p[Bb]eople you know are the pe[C]ople you thought that you knew[Dm]     [F]
There's [Bb]only four seasons and I gu[C]ess we'll be leaving soon[F]

[C]Sally wake up you don't have to pretend anymo[F]re
[G]'Cause while you were sleeping I drove us to someplace the weather will always be war[C]m
[C]We can go outside and bury our faces in the su[F]n
There's [G]no need to worry 'cause no one will ask us where it is that we came fr[C]om
We can [F]walk on Mai[C]n Street,[F] dance in these honky to[G]nk bars
[F]No one wil[G]l know who we[C] are

[F] [C] [F]

[C]Well you like the water so much you could be a fi[F]sh
[G]We're right by the ocean so you can go dipping any old time that you w[C]ish
[C]We'll watch the sunset, make love in the old lifeguard sta[F]nd
[G]When the setting is done and we've lost the sun we will nap on a blanket upst[C]airs
We can [F]walk on w[C]ater, d[F]ance in the light of the[G] moon
[F]Honey, just[G] me and yo[C]u

[F] [C] [F]

[C]We'll wake to a restaurant with fancy napkins and plat[F]es
[G]We'll watch the old man as he walks to the big white piano and sits down and pla[C]ys
[C]The maitre d' calls me lucky as he pours our wi[F]ne
[G]What a beautiful girl and I know in this world that the good ones are so hard to fi[C]nd
We can [F]walk on red [C]carpet,[F] dance to our favorit[G]e songs
[F]We can stay [G]all night lon[C]g

[F] [C] [F]

[C]Sally wake up, you don't have to pretend any m[F]ore
[G]'Cause while you were sleeping I drove us to someplace the weather will always be war[C]m
