It's just you jive talkin'
you're telling me lies, yeah,
Jive talkin'
you wear a disguise,
Jive talkin',
so misunderstood,
Jive talkin'
You're really no good.

Oh my child, you'll never know,
Just what you mean to me,
Oh my child, you got so much,
You're gonna take away my energy with all your

You're telling me lies, yeah
Good lovin'
Still gets in my eyes,
Nobody believes what you say,
It's just your
Jive talkin' that gets in the way

Oh my love, you're so good,
Treating me so cruel,
There you go, with your fancy lies,
Leavin' me looking like a love struck fool,

With all your jive talkin'
You're telling me lies, yeah,
Jive talkin'
You wear a disguise,
Jive talkin' so misunderstood, yeah
Jive talkin'
You just ain't no good.

Love talkin' is all very fine, yeah
Jive talkin' just isn't a crime,
And if there's somebody you'll love till you die,
Then all that jive talking'
Just gets in your eye.

(song fades)

In the streets of New York City
ev'ry man can feel the cold.
And I don't want no pity,
but I want my story told.

When the lights shine down on me,
they shine on the little boy.
Is this way to make him pay;
be'ng born in a world of joy.

But like me
he don't know where he'll go wrong;
he won't cry so many tears
till he finds out why he don't belong like me.

there's no room for us out there;
you can lose your hope and pride.
When it comes to broken dreams
you'll get your share.
Sometime a man breaks down,
and the good thing he is looking for
are crushed into the ground.

Get on up, look around;
can't you feel the wind of change?
Get on up, taste the air;
can't you see the wind of change;

Don't you understand what I'm sayin',
we need a god down there.
A man to lead us children,
take us from the valley of fear.

Make the lights shine down on us,
show us the road to go.
Help us survive, make us arrive,
teach us what we need to know.

But like me
he don't know where he'll go wrong;
he won't cry so many tears
till he finds out why he don't belong like me.

there's no room for us out there;
you can lose your hope and pride.
When it comes to broken dreams
you'll get your share.
Sometime a man breaks down,
and the good thing he is looking for
are crushed into the ground.

Get on up, look around;
can't you feel the wind of change?
Get on up, taste the air;
can't you see the wind of change;

Get on up ...

Go on with your song, bird -- you can't go wrong bird
You will go on and on, bird, like you did before
Though your wings are broken the sky is so wide open
And the wind is waiting for you like an open door

Though you go so far away, your voice will still be heard so well
You'll never really ever know how beautiful you are
When the moon is on the rise I'll try to make my songbird fly
I wonder if he ever will -- and if he really did, how far

Go on with your song, bird -- you can't go wrong bird
You will go on and on, bird, like you did before
Though your wings are broken the sky is so wide open
And the wind is waiting for you like an open door

Though you go so far away, your voice will still be heard so well
You'll never really ever know how beautiful you are
When the moon is on the rise I'll try to make my songbird fly
I wonder if he ever will -- and if he really did, how far

Go on with your song, bird -- you can't go wrong bird
You will go on and on, bird, through the open door

Go on with your song, bird -- you can't go wrong my bird
You will go on and on, bird, like you did before

Like you did before

So warm is my morning sun, red is my rainbow
Soft is the cool summer breeze when I saw your face
I saw the light in your eyes so dark and demanding
Like a light in the storm

Whenever I cry my friend
You're always away and so I pretend
If I could live the dreams that I see
Long live my love

Walking in country (country) lanes (country lanes)
I'll never belong to someone again
Living my whole life through
Long live my love for you

My life has meaning now, I am a window
And all things seem clear to me now
Like a light in the storm

Whenever I cry my friend
You're always away and so I pretend
If I could live the dreams that I see
Long live my love

Walking in country (country) lanes (country lanes)
I'll never belong to someone again
Living my whole life through
Long live my love

Walking in country (country) lanes (country lanes)
I'll never belong to someone again
Living my whole life through
Long live my love for you

Just my dog and I
at the edge of the universe.
Well, I didn't wanna bring her
and I know it'll make her worse.

Now I look out on forever
and it must be nice down there.
And they call me Shenandora in the air.

Well, I'm ten feet tall,
but I'm only three feet wide.
And I live inside an ocean that flows
on the other side.

If I came back down tomorrow,
would it all be far too soon?
And it looks like it's gonna be a lovely afternoon.

I thought that I was going home,
and all the way I kept on prayin'.
I couldn't stop to turn around;
well, here I am and here I'm stayin'.

It's been my longest journey
and I've come through the black of night.
I was tired and hungry
when I saw your distant light.

Well, I know this may sound crazy,
but I'm sure I got here first.
I'm just me, Shenandora,
at the edge of the universe.

I thought that I was going home,
and all the way I kept on prayin'.
I couldn't stop to turn around;
well, here I am and here I'm stayin'.

Just my dog and I
at the edge of the universe.
Well, I didn't wanna bring her
and I know it'll make her worse.

Now I look out on forever
and it must be nice down there.
And they call me Shenandora in the air.

At the edge of the universe...
