"Up On The Roof" lyrics
"Up On The Roof"
(originally by The Drifters)
When this old world starts getting me down
And people are much too much for me to take (Up on the roof)
I climb right up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof, the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Up on the roof
When I get home feeling tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (Up on the roof)
I get away from the hustling crowds
And all that rat-race noise down in the street
At night the stars put on a show for free
Darling, you can share it all with me
Let's go, I keep telling you
Right smack dab in the middle of town
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof
And if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two up on the roof
Up on the roof (Up on the roof)
Come on, baby, come on, baby
Up on the roof
Up on the roof

Bonnie Raitt - "I Can't Make You Love Me" Turn down the lights;
Turn down the bed.
Turn down these voices
Inside my head.
Lay down with me;
Tell me no lies.
Just hold me close;
Don't patronize.
Don't patronize me. 'Cuz I can't make you...
Joni Mitchell - "Help Me" Help me
I think I'm falling
In love again
When I get that crazy feeling
I know I'm in trouble again
I'm in trouble
'Cause you're a rambler and a gambler
And a sweet talking ladies man
And you love...
Paul Simon - "St. Judy's Comet" Little sleepy boy
Do you know what time it is?
Well, the hour of your bedtime's
Long been past
And though I know you're fighting it
I can tell when you rub your eyes
You're fading fast
Oh, fading...

A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray
Human kindness is overflowing
