All That You Can't Leave Behind

"Beautiful Day"The heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stony groundBut there's no room, no space to rent in this townYou're out of luck, and the reason that you had to careThe traffic is stuck, and you're not moving anywhereYou thought you'd found a friend, to take you out of this placeSomeone you could lend a hand in return for grace It's a beautiful dayThe sky falls and you feel likeIt's a beautiful dayDon't let it get away You're on the road, but you've got no destinationYou're in the mud, in the maze of her imaginationYou love this town, even if that doesn't ring trueYou've been all over, and it's been all over you It's a beautiful dayDon't let it get awayIt's a beautiful day Touch meTake me to that other placeTeach meI know I'm not a hopeless case See the world in green and blueSee China right in front of youSee the canyons broken by cloudSee the tuna fleets clearing the sea outSee the Bedouin fires at nightSee the oil fields at first light, andSee the bird with a leaf in her mouthAfter the flood all the colors came out (Day)It was a beautiful dayDon't let it get awayBeautiful day Touch meTake me to that other placeReach meI know I'm not a hopeless case What you don't have, you don't need it nowWhat you don't know, you can feel it somehowWhat you don't have, you don't need it nowDon't need it now It was a beautiful day
"Stuck In a Moment You Can't Get Out Of"I'm not afraid of anything in this worldThere's nothing you can throw at me thatI haven't already heardI'm just trying to find a decent melodyA song that I can sing in my own company I never thought you were a foolBut darling, look at youYou gotta stand up straight, carry your own weightThese tears are going nowhere, baby You've got to get yourself togetherYou've got stuck in a moment andnow you can't get out of itDon't say that later will be betternow you're stuck in a momentAnd you can't get out of it I will not forsake, the colors that you bringBut the nights you filled with fireworksThey left you with nothingI am still enchanted by the light you brought to meI listen through your ears,and through your eyes I can see And you are such a foolTo worry like you doI know it's tough, and you can never get enoughOf what you don't really need now ... my oh my You've got to get yourself togetherYou've got stuck in a momentand you can't get out of itOh love look at you nowYou've got yourself stuck in a momentand you can't get out of it I was unconscious, half asleepThe water is warm till you discover how deepI wasn't jumping for me it was a fallIt's a long way down to nothing at all You've got to get yourself togetherYou've got stuck in a momentand you can't get out of itDon't say that later will be better nowYou're stuck in a momentand you can't get out of it And if the night runs overAnd if the day won't lastAnd if our way should falterAlong the stony pass And if the night runs overAnd if the day won't lastAnd if your way should falterAlong the stony passIt's just a momentThis time will pass

"In A Little While"In a little whileSurely you'll be mineIn a little while I'll be thereIn a little while this hurt will hurt no moreI'll be home love When the night takes a deep breathAnd the daylight has no endIf I crawl, if I come crawling homeWill you be there? In a little while I won't be blown by every breezeFriday night running to Sunday on my kneesThat girl, that girl, she's mineWell I've known her since, since she wasA little a girl with Spanish eyesWhen I saw her first in a pram they pushed her byOh my, my how you've grownWell it's been, it's been a little while Slow down my beating heartA man dreams one day to flyA man takes a rocket ship into the skiesHe lives on a star that's dying in the nightAnd follows in the trail the scatter of lightTurn it on, turn it on, you turn me on Slow down my beating heartSlowly, slowly love
