Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Live At Fillmore East, 1969 Lyrics






Suite: Judy Blue Eyes

[Part 1]

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 Bridge]

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
[Chorus]
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

[Part 2]

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?
[Bridge]
Can I tell it like it is? (help me, I'm suffering)
Listen to me, baby
It's my heart that's suffering, it's a-dying (help me, I'm suffering)
And that's what I have 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 Break]

[Part 3]

Chestnut brown canary
Ruby throated sparrow
Sing the 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?"

Lacy, lilting, leery
Losing love, lamenting
Change my life, make it right
Be my lady

[Part 4]

Do-do-do-do-do, do, do, do-do-do-do

Quiero sólo visitarla allí

Blackbird

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

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

Helplessly Hoping

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 good-bye

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 1 person
They are 2 alone
They are 3 together
They are 4 for each other

Stand by the stairway you'll see something certain to tell you
confusion has its cost

Love isn't lying its loose in a lady who lingers
saying she is lost

And choking on hello

They are 1 person
They are 2 alone
They are 3 together
They are 4 for each other

Guinnevere

Guinnevere had green eyes
Like yours, m'lady, like yours
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, m'lady, like yours
Late at night when she thought
That no one was watching at all
On the wall
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, m'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

Lady of the Island

Holding you close undisturbed before a fire
The pressure in my chest when you breathe in my ear
We both knew this would happen when you first appeared
My lady of the island

The brownness of your body in the fire glow
Except the places where the sun refused to go
Our bodies were a perfect fit, in afterglow we lay
My lady of the island

Letting myself wander through the world inside your eyes
You know I'd like to stay here until every tear runs dry
My lady of the island

Wrapped around each other in the peepin' sun
Beams of sunshine light the stage, the red light's on
I never want to finish what I've just begun with you
My lady of the island

Go Back Home

Think I'll go back home
Think I'll go back home
Think I'll go back home
Back where I belong
Think I'll go back home

Nothin' for me here
Nothin' for me here,
Child, no there ain't
Nothin' for me here
People trapped by fear
And you can't get near

Lived with you I felt
Lived with you I felt, child
Lived with you I felt
I was by myself
I was someone else

Babe, come home with me
Babe, come home with me now
Babe, come home with me
And I'll make you see
Yes, I'm gonna set you free

When I woke up this morning
I found that I was alone, yeah
'Til I called your number
They told me there's no one home again
Baby, what does it mean?
Is it like it seems?

On the Way Home

When the dream came
I held my breath
With my eyes closed
I went insane,
Like a smoke ring day
When the wind blows
Now I won't be back
Till later on
If I do come back at all
But you know me,
And I miss you now.

In a strange game
I saw myself as you knew me
When the change came,
And you had a
Chance to see through me
Though the other side
Is just the same
You can tell
My dream is real
Because I love you,
Can you see me now.

Though we rush ahead
To save our time
We are only what we feel
And I love you,
Can you feel it now.

4 + 20

Four and twenty years ago I come into this life
The son of a woman and a man who lived in strife
He was tired of being poor
And he wasn't into selling door to door
And he worked like the devil to be more

A different kind of poverty now upsets me so
Night after sleepless night, I walk the floor and I want to know
Why am I so alone?
Where is my woman, can I bring her home?
Have I driven her away? Is she gone?

Morning comes the sunrise and I'm driven to my bed
I see that it is empty and there's devils in my head
I embrace the many colored beast
I grow weary of the torment, can there be no peace?
And I find myself just wishing that my life would simply cease

Our House

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, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy cause of you
And our

[Interlude]
La-la, la-la-la la la...

I've Loved Her So Long

She's a victim of her senses, do you know her?
Can you see her in the distance as she tumbles by?
Veteran of a race that should be over
Can you hear her sigh? With wings to fly
She rolls along doing it wrong

Oh, I've loved her so long
Oh, I've loved her so long

There's a place that I know we could go
Get away for a while
I can bring her the peace that she needs
Give her reason to smile

Oh, I've loved her so long
Oh, I've loved her so long
Oh, I've loved her so long
Oh, I've loved her so long
Oh, I've loved her so long
Oh, I've loved her so long
Oh, I've loved her so long
Oh, I've loved her so long
Oh, I've loved her so long

You Don't Have to Cry

In the mornin' 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 mornin' 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

Long Time Gone

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 that somethin' is goin' on around here
It surely, surely, surely won't stand the light of day, no

And it appears to be a long (Yes it does)
Appears to be a long (Mm)
Appears to be a long time
Such a long, long time before the dawn

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, mm

And it appears to be a long (Yes it does)
Appears to be a long (Mm)
Appears to be a long time
Such a long, long, long, long time before the dawn, yeah

It's been a (Long) long (Time) time (Comin') comin'
It's going to be (Long) a long (Time) time (Gone) 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

Wooden Ships

Part 1]

If you smile at me, I will understand
'Cause that is something everybody everywhere does
In the same language

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?

Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now
Haven't got sick once
Probably keep us both alive

[Part 2]

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

[Guitar Solo]

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

[Guitar Solo]

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

[Guitar Solo]

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

Bluebird Revisited

The Pain Of Losing You Well It Made Me An Angry Man
Was There Something Else That I Could Do? Or Was It Over?
Had I The Chance?
So I Listened Once Again To My Bluebird Sing
Oh Yes And Children How She Made The Mountains Ring
Now When Hearts Be Stilled That Gentle Voice Is Spring
Oh My Precious My Soul Says To My Blue Eyed Sparrow
Come Back, Come Back. I Can Peal Away The Cages
Come Back, Come Back. I Can Put Away The Rages
Come Back, Come Back. Can We Turn The Next Page Together?
Listen To My Bluebird Laugh She Can Tell You Why
Deep Within Her Heart You See She Knows Only Cryin'
There She Sits Aloft At Perch Strangest Color Blue
Flying Is Forgotten Now Thinks Only Of You
Get Into All Those Blues Must Be A Thousand Years
And Each Is Differently Used You Just Know
You Sit There Mesmerized By The Depth Of Her Eyes
I Can Tell You No Lies
She's Got Soul, She's Got Soul She's Got Soul, She's Got Soul
She's Got Soul
Soon She's Goin' To Fly Away Sadness is Her Own
Give Herself A Bath Of Tears And Go Home
So I Listened Once Again To My Bluebird Sing
Oh Yes And Children How She Made The Mountains Ring
Now When Hearts Be Stilled That Voice Is Spring
Oh My Precious My Soul Says To My Blue Eyed Sparrow
Fly Back Home, Fly Back Home, Fly Back Home

Sea of Madness

How can I bring you
To the sea of madness
I love you so much
It's gonna bring me sadness

I've never seen you
Through these eyes before
Now I don't believe it
I think I'll take it or leave it

I went to heaven
And I stood at the crossroads
I'll love you tomorrow
As sure as the wind blows

Silver rain
On the mountain clover
Washes away
Until the music is over

Down By the River

Be on my side, I'll be on your side, baby
There is no reason for you to hide
It's so hard for me staying here all alone
When you could be taking me for a ride

(Ooh la la lah la la lala) Yeah
(Ooh la la lah la la lala) She could drag me over the rainbow
(Ooh la la lah la la lala) And send me away

Down by the river I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead, ooh
Shot her dead, ooh

You take my hand, I'll take your hand
Together we may get away
This much madness is too much sorrow
It's impossible to make it today

Dead, dead, ooh
