The strange young man who comes to me
A soldier on a three day spree
Who needs one night's cheap ecstasy
And a woman's arms to hide him
He greets me with a courtly bow
And hides his pain by acting proud
He drinks too much and he laughs too loud
How can I deny him?
Let us dance beneath the moon
I'll sing to you "Claire de Lune'
The morning always comes too soon
But tonight the war is over
He speaks to me in schoolboy French
Of a soldier's life inside a trench
Of the look of death and the ghastly stench
I do my best to please him
He puts two roses in a vase
Two roses sadly out of place
Like the gallant smile on his haggard face
Playfully I tease him
Hold me 'neath the Paris skies
Let's not talk of how or why
Tomorrow's soon enough to die
But tonight the war is over
We make love too hard too fast
He falls asleep, his face a mask
He wakes with the shakes and he drinks from his flask
I put my arms around him
They die in the trenches and they die in the air
In Belgium and France the dead are everywhere
They die so fast there's no time to prepare
A decent grave to surround them
Old world glory, old world fame
The old world's gone, gone up in flames
Nothing will ever be the same
And nothing lasts forever
Oh I'd pray for him but I've forgotten how
And there's nothing, nothing that can save him now
There's always another with the same funny bow
And who am I to deny them
linda ronstadt - a number and a name
How many times have I read farewell lines
In the things that you never seemed to say
How many times have I read those last lines
And wondered why it ended this way
Words of goodbye and all those loving lines
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time
How you would write about the bright lights
And your words always clouded up my eyes
How you would write about the bright lights
It's a wonder that I never realized
Our race was run now another's just begun
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time
When your letters stopped the tears that I fought
How they came in the flood of memories
When your letters stopped the tears that I fought
How they ran like the rivers to the seas
Each sunny day you slip further away
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time
linda ronstadt - a river for him
I crossed on the river
There'll be no returning
I crossed all the bridges
I watched them all burning
And now I'm a stranger
To a strange land I'm driven
Where all is forgotten
And nothing's forgiven
But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'll ever swim
The heart it will harden
The sorrow will dim
But I cried a river
A river for him
I think of him now
On the road I am taking
And wonder how long
His heart will be breaking
But he'll never hear when
The teardrops are falling
Or the sound of my voice
Or the name I am calling
But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'll ever swim
The heart it will harden
The sorrow will dim
But I cried a river
A river for him
So weep for the sons
And the dear darling daughters
For the passing of time
And the parting of waters
For all who have passed through
This world long before me
To a far distant shore line
Where no one waits for me
But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'll ever swim
The heart it will harden
The sorrow will dim
But I cried a river
A river for him
linda ronstadt - across the border

Tonight my bag is packed
Tomorrow I'll walk these tracks
That will lead me 'cross the border
Tomorrow my love and I
We'll sleep 'neath auburn skies
Somewhere across the border
We'll leave behind my dear
Pain and sadness we've found here
And we'll drink from the Brazos' muddy waters
Where the sky grows gray and wide
We'll meet on the other side
There across the border
For me you'll build a house
High upon a grassy hill
Somewhere across the border
Where pain and memory
Pain and memory have been stilled
There across the border
Sweet blossoms fill the air
Pastures of gold and green
Roll down into cool clear waters
And in your arms 'neath open skies
I'll kiss the sorrow from your eyes
There across the border
Tonight we'll sing the songs
And I'll dream of you, my corazon
And tomorrow my heart will be strong
And may the saints' blessing and grace
Carry me safely into your arms
There across the border
For what are we
Without hope in our hearts
That someday we'll drink from God's blessed waters
And eat the fruit from the vine
I know that love and fortune will be mine
Somewhere across the border
linda ronstadt - ad amp oacute nde voy
linda ronstadt - adios
Ran away from home when I was seventeen
To be with you
On the California coast
Drinking margaritas all night
in the old cantina
Out on the California coast
Don't think that I'm ungrateful
And don't look so morose
Adios, Adios
We never really made it baby
But we came pretty close
Adios, adios
Going up north where
the hills are winter green
I have to leave you
On the California coast
Going where the water's clear
and the air is cleaner
Than the California coast
Our dreams of endless summer
Were just too grandiose
Adios, Adios
And I miss the blood red sunset
But I miss you the most
Adios, adios
Adios, adios
Adios, adios
linda ronstadt - adónde voy
La madrugada me ve corriendo
Bajo el cielo que va dando color
No salgas sol a nombrarme
A la fuerza de la immigración
Un dolor que siento en el pecho
Es mi alma que sufre de amor
Pienso en ti y en tus brazos que esperan
Tus besos y tu pasión
Adónde voy, adónde voy
La esperanza es mi destinación
Solo estoy, solo estoy
Por el monte prófugo, voy
Dias, semanas, y meses
Paso muy lejos de ti
Muy pronto te llegará dinero
Yo te quiero tener junto a mi
El trabajo me llena las horas
Tu risa no puedo olividar
Vivir sin tu amor no es vida
Vivir de prófugo, igual
Adónde voy, adónde voy
La esperanza es mi destinación
Solo estoy, solo estoy
Por el monte prófugo, voy
Adónde voy, adónde voy
La esperanza es mi destination
Solo estoy, solo estoy
Por el monte prófugo, voy
linda ronstadt - after the gold rush
Well I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming
Sayin' something about a queen
There were peasants singing and drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree
There was a fanfare blowing to the sun
There was floating on the breeze
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the Twentieth Century
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the Twentieth Century
I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst through the sky
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like I could cry
I was thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie
Thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie
I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun
There were children crying and colors flying
All around the chosen ones
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun
Flying Mother Nature's silver seed
To a new home in the sun
Flying Mother Nature's silver seed
To a new home
linda ronstadt - alison
Well it's so funny to be seeing you after so long girl
Ah but the way you look I understand that you are not impressed
But I heard you let that little friend of mine
Take off your party dress
I'm not gonna get too sentimental like those other sticky valentines
'Cause I don't know if you were loving somebody
I only hope he wasn't mine
Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh Alison, my aim is true
Well I see you've got a husband now
Well did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake
You used to hold him right in your hand
Ah but he took all he could take
Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
When I hear the silly things that you say
I think somebody better put out the big light
'Cause I can't stand to see you this way
Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh Alison, my aim is true
My aim is true
My aim is true
My aim is true
linda ronstadt - all i left behind

All I left behind should come as no surprise
To me since I fell through the black hole of your eyes
Only little things inconsequential I could say
Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway
Silver earrings in Wichita
Beaded moccasions in Tonopah
But I had you so
I just let them go
The flannel shirt I wore to keep me from the cold
When we drove from Boston all the way to Buffalo
The leather boots I bought so many miles ago
I took them off to follow you into the Ohio
Never did my armor feel so thin
Silk was all I had between me and your skin
Like Waterloo
I lost that too
And the golden bracelet with my father's name inscribed
On the back by the one who loved him all her life
The way I too
Could have loved you
The Spanish shawl I put across the broken shade
Of the lamp that lit the room
That last night near Coeur d'Alene
Only little things inconsequential I could say
Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway
Of all I left behind
linda ronstadt - all my life
Am I really here in your arms
This is just like I dreamed it would be
I feel like we're frozen in time
And you're the only one I can see
Hey, I've looked all my life for you
Now you're herergtrHey, I've spent all my life with you
All my life
And I never really knew how to love
I just hope somehow I'd see
Oh I ask for a little help from above
Send an angel down to me
Hey, I've looked all my life for you
Now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
All my life
I never thought that I could feel a love so tender
Never thought I could let those feelings show
But now my heart is on my sleeve
And this love will never leave
I know
I know
Hey, I've looked all my life for you
And now you're here now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
All my life all my life
Hey, I've looked all my life for you
And now you're here now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
All my life
linda ronstadt - all that you dream
I've been down but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more
All, all that you dream
Comes through shining silver lining clouds
Clouds change the scene
Rain starts washing all those cautions into your life
Makes you realize just what is true
What else can you do
Just follow the rules
Keep your eyes on the road that's ahead of you
I've been down but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more
All of the good times were ours
In the land of milk and honey
Time, time adds its scars
Rainy days they turn to sunny ones
Living the life, living the life, loving everyone
I've been down but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more
I've been down but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more
linda ronstadt - alma adentro
Triste caravana de recuerdos
Por mi mente ha pasado
Rastros de nostalgia que ha dejado
Un amor ya fracasado
Ojos que te buscan aun sabiendo
Que no estaras a mi lado
Ojos que suplican que un milagro
Te devuelva a mis brazos
Que dificil es entrar de lleno
A una vida sin encantos
Donde ni la pena puede ahogarse
En la inmensidad de un llanto
Y de noche
Mi corazon despacio
Presentira tu imagen
Perdida en el espacio
Y de noche
Mi corazon te nombra
Al presentir tu imagen
Vagando entre las sombras
Triste maldicion
Y de noche
Mi corazon despacio
Presentira tu imagen
Perdida en el espacio
Y de noche
Mi corazon te nombra
Al presentir tu imagen
Vagando entre las sombras
Triste maldicion
linda ronstadt - am i blue
Am I blue
Am I blue
Ain't these tears in my eyes telling you
Am I blue
You would be too
If each plan with your man just fell through
Was a time I was his only one
Now I'm the sad and lonely one
Ooh
Was I gay
Till today
Now he's gone and we're through
Am I blue
Was a time I was the only one
Now I'm the sad and lonely one
Ooh
Was I gay
Till today
Now he's gone and we're through
Am I blue
Am I blue
Ooh hoo
Am I blue
linda ronstadt - angel baby
It's just like heaven
Being here with you
You're like an angel
Too good to be true
But after all I love you I do
Angel baby, my angel baby
When you are near me
My heart skips a beat
I can hardly stand on
My own two feet
Because I love you I love you I do
Angel baby, my angel baby
Ooh I love you, ooh I do
No one could love you like I do
Ooooo
Ooo Ooo Ooo
Please never leave me
Blue and alone
If you ever go
I'm sure you'll come back home
Because I love you I love you I do
Angel baby, my angel baby
Ooh I love you, ooh I do
No one can love you like I do
Ooooo
Ooo Ooo Ooo
