Talk to me softly 
There's something in your eyes 
Don't hang your head in sorrow 
And please don't cry
I know how you feel inside I've
I've been here before 
Somethin's changin' inside you 
And don't you know

Don't you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight 
Don't you cry tonight
   there's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

Give me a whisper
And give me a sigh 
Give me a kiss before you tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinking of you
And the times we had... baby
    
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight 
Don't you cry tonight
   there's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

And please remember that I never lied
And please remember
   how I felt inside now honey
You gotta make it your own way
But you'll be alright now sugar 
You'll feel better tomorrow
Come the morning light now baby

And don't you cry tonight
An don't you cry tonight 
An don't you cry tonight
   there's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry 
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight 
Baby maybe someday 
Don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry
Tonight

When I look into your eyes 
I can see a love restrained 
But darlin' when I hold you 
Don't you know I feel the same 

'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change 
And it's hard to hold a candle 
In the cold November rain   

We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain

But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away 

If we could take the time to lay it on the line 
I could rest my head 
   just knowin' that you were mine
All mine 
So if you want to love me 
   then darlin' don't refrain   
Or I'll just end up walkin' 
   in the cold November rain

Do you need some time.. on your own 
Do you need some time.. all alone 
Everybody needs some time.. on their own
Don't you know you need some time.. all alone 

I know it's hard to keep an open heart 
When even friends seem out to harm you 
But if you could heal a broken heart 
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time.. on my own
Sometimes I need some time.. all alone
Everybody needs some time.. on their own
Don't you know you need some time.. all alone

And when your fears subside 
   and shadows still remain 
I know that you can love me
   when there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness 
   we still can find a way 
'Cause nothin' lasts forever 
   even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone 
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Mama take this badge from me 
I can't use it any more 
It's getting dark too dark to see 
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door 

Kn-kn-knockin' on heaven's door
Kn-knockin' on heaven's door
Kn-knockin' on heaven's door
Kn-knockin' on heaven's door

Mama put my guns in the ground 
I can't shoot them any more 
That cold black cloud is comin' down 
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door 

Kn-kn-knockin' on heaven's door
Kn-knockin' on heaven's door
Kn-knockin' on heaven's door
Kn-knockin' on heaven's door

"You just better start sniffin' your own
rank subjugation jack `cause it's just you 
against your tattered libido, the bank and
the mortician, forever man and it wouldn't 
be luck if you could get out of life alive"*

Kn-kn-knockin' on heaven's door

(Whistle)
Guess I needed sometime to get away
I needed some piece of mind
Some piece of mind that'll stay
So I thumbed it down to Sixth and L.A.
Maybe a Greyhound could be my way

Police and Niggers, that's right
Get out of my way
Don't need to buy none of your
Gold chains today
I don't need no bracelets
Clamped in front of my back
Just need my ticket; 'til then
Won't you cut me some slack?

You're one in a million
Yeah, that's what you are
You're one in a million, babe
You're a shooting star
Maybe someday we'll see you
Before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you
But you were much too high
Much too high, much too high,
Much too high, yes, ow!

Immigrants and faggots
They make no sense to me
They come to our country
And think they'll do as they please
Like start some mini Iran,
Or spread some fuckin' disease
They talk so many goddamn ways
It's all Greek to me

Well some say I'm lazy
And others say that's just me
Some say I'm crazy
I guess I'll always be
But it's been such a long time
Since I knew right from wrong
It's all the means to an end, I
I keep it movin' along

You're one in a million
Oo, you're a shooting star
You're one in a million, babe
You know that you are
Maybe someday we'll see you, Oo
oh, Before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you
But you were much too high
Much too high, Oo, much too high
Yeah,
Much too high, huh, no, no, oh
Ow!

Radicals and Racists
Don't point your finger at me
I'm a small town white boy
Just tryin' to make ends meet
Don't need your religion
Don't watch that much T.V.
Just makin' my livin', baby
Well that's enough for me

You're one in a million
Yeah that's what you are
You're one in a million, babe
You're a shooting star
Maybe someday we'll see you
Before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you
But you were much too high
Much too high, ow, much too high,
Much too high, much too high
Yeah, yeee, yeah, yeee, igh!
Ow! Much too high
(Oh, much too high, ah,
much too high, ah, much too high
much too high, ow, much too high)*
