Suite: Judy Blue Eyes
Crosby, Stills, Nash and sometimes Young
It's getting to the point
Where I'm no fun any more
I am sorry
Sometimes it hurts
So badly I must cry out loud
I am lonely
{Refrain}
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
{Refrain}
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
{Refrain}
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
{Refrain}
And you make it hard
And you make it hard
And you make it hard
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
Can I tell it like it is Catch me I'm falling
Listen to me baby
It's my heart that's suffering Catch me I'm dying
It's dyin' 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
Chestnut brown canary
Ruby throated sparrow
Sing a 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 lady
Losing love lamenting
Change my life, make it right
Be my lady
Do do do do do, do do do do do do
Do do do do do, do do do do
{Repeat bunches}

Marrakesh Express
(Graham Nash)
[Intro. (Electric Guitars)]
Looking at the world through the sunset in your eyes
Traveling the train through clear Moroccan skies
Ducks and pigs and chickens call
Animal carpet wall to wall
American ladies five-foot tall in blue
Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind
Had to get away to see what we could find
Hope the days that lie ahead
Bring us back to where they've led
Listen not to what's been said to you
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh
All aboard the train, all aboard the train
I've been saving all my money just to take you there
I smell the garden in your hair
Take the train from Casablanca going south
Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my mouth
Colored cottons hang in the air
Charming cobras in the square
Striped djellebas we can wear at home Well, let me hear you now
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh
All on board the train, all on board the train
All on board

Guinnevere
Guinnevere had green eyes
Like yours, mi'lady like yours
When 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, mi'lady like yours
Late at night
When she thought
that no one was watching at all
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, mi'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
Like yours, mi'lady like yours
When 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, mi'lady like yours
Late at night
When she thought
that no one was watching at all
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, mi'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

You Dont 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 morning 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
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?

In the long run it will make you cry
Make you crazy and old before your time
And the difference between me and you

You don't have to cry

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

Pre-Road Downs
(Graham Nash)
[Intro. (Electric Guitar and Organ)]
I have kissed you
So I'll miss you
On the road I'll be wantin' you
But I have you
'Cause I love you
And you have me 'cause you love me too, yeah
[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]
Felt forsaken
You'll awaken
To the joys of livin' hand in glove
And then I will
Lend you my will
And your days will be filled with love
Don't run the time approaches
Hotels and midnight coaches
Be sure to hide the roaches
[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]
Felt rejected
As expected
You rejected all the thoughts of words
So I'll pray with
You to stay with
Me forever and we'll make it work
[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]
Elevated
You're elated
'Cause I've waited a year for you
If you're thinkin'
What I'm thinkin'
Then I'm gonna make my love to you
Don't run the time approaches
Hotels and midnight coaches
Be sure to hide the roaches

Wooden Ships
(David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Paul Kantner)
[Intro. (Electric Guitar)]
Stills: If you smile at me I will understand
'Cause that is something
Everybody everywhere does in the same language
Crosby: 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?
Stills: Say can I have some of your purple berries?
Crosby: Yes, I've been eating them
For six or seven weeks now haven't got sick once
Stills: Probably keep us both alive
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
[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]
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
[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]
Aaaah ...
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
[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]
And it's a fair wind
Blowin' warm out of the south over my shoulder
Guess I'll set a course and go

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
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
My lady of the island
Wrapped around each other in the peeping 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
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
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
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
My lady of the island
Wrapped around each other in the peeping 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
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do

Helplessly Hoping
by
David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, & Neil Young
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
He worries
Did he hear a good-bye?
They are one person
We are one person
They are three together
They are for each other
Stand by the stairway
You'll see something
Certain to tell you
Love isn't lying
It's loose in a lady who lingers
Saying she is lost
And choking on her love
They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other

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 there's something is goin' on around here
The 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, mmm
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, mmm
And it appears to be a long, yes it does
Appears to be a long, mmm
Appears to be a long time
Such a long, long, long, long time before the dawn
It's been a long time comin'
It's goin' to be a long time 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
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 there's something is goin' on around here

49 Bye-Byes
(Stephen Stills)
[Intro. (Electric Guitar and Organ)]
Forty nine reasons all in a line
All of them good ones all of them lies
Driftin' with my lady we're oldest of friends
Need a little work and there's fences to mend
Steady girl be my world (Steady girl)
'Till the drifter come now she's gone (Be my world)
I let that man play his hand (Drifter come)
I let them go how was I to know? (Now you're gone)
I'm down on my knees
Nobody left to please
Now it's over they left in the spring
Her and the drifter looking for beautiful things

On my knees
Feeling wrong
Mama's gone, oh ...
Bye, bye baby (Bye, bye baby)
Write if you think of it maybe
Know I love you (Know I love you)
Go if it means that much to you
Hey, but you can run baby
If the feeling's wrong before too long it's crazy
And you're trapped, babe, and you know that's not where it's at, babe
You're just seein' things through a cat's eye, baby
That's not my old lady
Come on and tell me baby
You better tell me baby
Who do you
Who do you love?
Time will tell us
Who is trying to sell us
Bye, bye baby (Bye, bye, bye, bye baby)
Write if you think of it maybe
Hey, but you can run baby
If the feeling's wrong before too long it's crazy
And you're trapped, babe, and you know that's not where it's at, baby
You're just seein' things through a cat's eye, baby
That's not my old lady
Come on and tell me baby
You better tell me baby
Who do you
Who do you love?
