1. Baltimore4:37

   Letra

   Beat-up little seagull On a marble stair Tryin' to find the ocean Lookin' everywhere Hard times in the city In a hard town by the sea Ain't nowhere to run to There ain't nothin' here for free Hooker on the corner Waiting for a train Drunk lying on the sidewalk Sleeping in the rain And the people hide their faces And they hide their eyes 'Cause the city's dyin' And they don't know why Oh, Baltimore Ain't it hard just to live? Oh, Baltimore Ain't it hard just to live? Just to live Get my sister Sandy And my little brother Ray Buy a big old wagon To haul us all away Live out in the country Where the mountain's high Never gonna come back here Till the day I die Oh, Baltimore Ain't it hard just to live? Oh, Baltimore Ain't it hard just to live? Just to live
2. Everything Must Change3:57

   Letra

   Everything must change Nothing stays the same Everyone will change No one, no one stays the same The young become the old And mysteries do unfold For that's the way of time No one, and nothing goes unchanged There are not many things in life one can be sure of Except rain comes from the clouds Sun lights up the sky Hummingbirds fly Winter turns to spring A wounded heart will heal Oh but never much too soon No one, and nothing goes unchanged The young become the old And mysteries do unfold For that's the way of time No one, and nothing stays unchanged There are not many things in life one can be sure of Except rain comes from the clouds Sun lights up the sky Hummingbirds fly Rain comes from the clouds Sun lights up the sky Hummingbirds fly Rain comes from the clouds Sun lights up the sky Hummingbirds fly Everything must change

4. My Father4:54

   Letra

   My father always promised me That we would live in France We'd go boating on the Seine And I would learn to dance We lived in Ohio then He worked in the mines On his dreams like boats We knew we would sail in time All my sisters soon were gone To Denver and Cheyenne Marrying their grownup dreams The lilacs and the man I stayed behind the youngest still Only danced alone The colors of my father's dreams Faded without a sound And I live in Paris now My children dance and dream Hearing the ways of a miner's life In words they've never seen I sail my memories of home Like boats across the Seine And watch the Paris sun As it sets in my father's eyes again My father always promised us That we would live in France We'd go boating on the Seine And I would learn to dance I sail my memories of home Like boats across the Seine And watch the Paris sun As it sets in my father's eyes again
5. Music For Lovers3:40

   Letra

   There is music for lovers It to be found In the sound Of a sigh. And there's music for lovers In the hush-a-bye dreams Of a child. When the whole world discovers That love's the only thing worthwhile. Then there'll be music for everyone And the whole world will smile. In the willow tree Made for you and me There's a silver symphony of birds. When the poets rhyme In the summer time You'll hear melodies In the words. There is music for lovers It to be found In the stream Running wild. And there's music for lovers In the hush-a-bye dreams Of you child. When the whole world discovers That love is the only thing worthwhile There'll be music for everyone And the whole world will smile.

   You're a rich girl and you're goin' too far 'Cause you know it don't matter any way You can rely on the old man's money You can rely on the old man's money It's a bitch, girl but it's goin' too far 'Cause you know it don't matter any way Say money, money won't get you too far Won't you too far Don't you know woh, that it's wrong, yeah To take what he's givin' you?

8. Forget2:54

   Letra

   Forget the love not chosen Forget the pain unspoken And please forget the dreams that were broken But remember me Forget this shade when night falls Forget the fear that droops? off And please forget the fights in these four walls But remember me I'm the one who always loved the simple things about you Your quiet gestures and your grace And I'm the one who cherished every touch from you And I'm the one who loved the beauty in your changing face Your changing face Forget the harm I caused you Forget the times I crossed you And other things I did when I lost you But remember me when you forget But remember me when you forget
