DANCE INTO THE LIGHT Did you see it in the rise That fire in the blue Did it make you realize Did it change your point of view Come take my hand And gather by the fire We’ll watch the flames burn down As the smoke stacks get higher CHORUS So let’s go rob from the rich and waste it on the young Your chariot awaits don’t leave your song unsung We’ll take a ride into the night sending sparks up to the sky Watch them burn across the stars and dance into the light, we’ll dance into the light Your gold don’t matter here Leave your pretty shacks behind And rip out every stitch And watch it all unwind Tell your mom and tell your dad Grab your babies by the hand It’s time to learn to walk It’s time to make a stand CHORUS

Promise 03:48
PROMISE Old Neil singing bout a southern man We’re spinning circles now hand in hand Gotta keep my head ‘cause things aren’t clear Not sure where we’re going, but for now we’re here Right here CHORUS I don’t remember asking you to save me I wasn’t looking for the love you gave to me I can’t count all the ways you’ve changed me But I can promise you one more night I don’t know if you had a plan If I had known, then I may have ran And you whisper in my ear I pull away and yet you draw me near You draw me near CHORUS Cause I hear his voice inside my head And every promise he never kept This time I need to know it’s true So just give me time and I’ll believe you CHORUS
3.
Downfall 04:45
DOWNFALL Catch myself thinking bout, last time you came around And you held me down When the moon watched us run, we were chasing tides and setting suns And you held me down CHORUS But you never realized you moved something deep inside me And I won’t ever point the blame But I won’t suffer in my shame Cause baby you were worth the fall, worth the fall, you were worth it all You were worth the fall, worth the fall, you were worth it all Astral weeks we were drunk on wine, piano nights your hands on mine And I held you down Making every wrong seem right, we were finding darkness in the light And I held you down CHORUS You never realized, you never realized You never realized, you never realized You never realized, you never realized I swear she has your eyes But maybe she was worth the fall, worth the fall She was worth it all She was the worth the fall, worth it all
4.
Human Zoo 05:09
HUMAN ZOO The sky is falling yet we choose to ignore They’re preaching us religion and delivering war Oh oh, delivering war Thirty-seven dead in Tunisian sand Is that the price we have to pay for your holy land No no, for your holy land CHORUS You know we better wake up before it’s too late We can’t heal wounds with nothing but hate The help we need won’t come from above Unless we find a way to bomb ‘em with love You know they’re all lying yet we choose to believe One hundred thousand dying Just when do we grieve Oh no, when do we grieve CHORUS The violence isn’t working Maybe try something new So why’d we let the monkeys run this human zoo Oh run this human zoo CHORUS
5.
BEFORE THE NIGHT IS THROUGH Legend says you can’t come back, on the train that rides this track But we all know how truth gets lost in the pouring rain A young man’s heart is seldom wise, chasing dreams in distant skies So Jimmy went down on the southbound train CHORUS Better get on board before the night is through Better get on board if you dare to And if your pain is not yet drowned C’mon, come pour another round Cause someone’s going down Before the night is through Better get on, better get on board Pushing steel on that August night, oh they could tell that things weren’t right By the way that Mary Mae...the way she held her eyes He could tell she was a working girl, brought up hard in this mean ol’ world Selling love that he could never afford to buy CHORUS Loneliness is all it takes, Jimmy made a big mistake Now he’s gotta pay the man, the man his dues But down and out ya know he ain’t got much, just a reckless heart with a gentle touch Now Jimmy’s going down before the night is through CHORUS
6.
SHOUT IT AT THE WALLS Guess it’s just four walls and me tonight Can’t seem to win or lose this fight I keep hearing everything you said Like our broken song inside my head Kettle sings its song just for one December’s here, the snow has just begun I find myself reaching for your hand To tell you something only you would understand CHORUS This is me feeling less than small Maybe I’ll stand, maybe I’ll fall Maybe I should leave it all behind Maybe I’ll just shout it at the walls This moving on never seems right To me we were always worth the fight And even though you’re not holding me, I feel you As I sit alone here tonight CHORUS
7.
Path of Gold 04:46
PATH OF GOLD I thought I walked a path of gold And that the winds would always blow my way Now I see there’s nothing here beneath my feet But dust and dreams On a road that leads astray This pain weighs me down CHORUS Let it go, let it go Let it go, let it go, let it go Let it go, let it go Let it go, let it go, let it go And I dreamed I found my treasure trove And that the dice would always roll my way But now it’s clear There’s nothing here but these old fears Upon my back like a load of empty bags So what can I say to you I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry CHORUS It’s time for me to find another way It’s dark but I can see the light of day This is it, I’m moving on from this cocoon It’s all I need to do If I ever will learn to fly I’m going to let it go, let it go, let it go...go CHORUS And I thought I walked a path of gold
8.
BACK FOR MORE I’ve got a love that will keep you coming back for more No need to hide baby, come right in my front door Don’t worry if you can’t find what you’ve been looking for CHORUS I’ve got a love that will keep you coming back for more It ain’t right, that’s all right Cause I got a love that will keep you coming back for more I’ve got a move that will shake you to your very core Cut every rug and stay up well half past four You know you’re doing it wrong if it feels like a chore CHORUS Here we go! I’ve got a way that will make you sing in every key It ain’t about you babe, it’s all about me Don’t worry baby, this is how it’s meant to be She’s got you all tied up, don’t worry I’ll set you free It ain’t right, that’s all right Cause I got a love that will keep you coming back for more CHORUS

Slowburn 04:35
SLOWBURN Sitting here drinking coffee, wishing it was wine I’m holding your picture, wishing you were mine I find myself lately needing things a little stronger The whiskey don’t burn enough or hold back the tears any longer Seems you moved on She stole your eye And all I keep hearing Is your nonchalant goodbye CHORUS So don’t worry about me, someday I’ll be fine Cause I’m just a silly girl who can’t stop trying So I’ll see you later, I wish you well Calling up to heaven, straight from hell Welcome to the slowburn Maybe we’ll never learn These old feelings can’t be beat I hope you enjoy the heat While I watch you burn Sitting here drinking coffee, wishing it was wine I’m holding your picture, wishing you were mine CHORUS

TOWER OF SONG Songwriters: Leonard Cohen Tower of Song lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC Interpreted by Amanda Jackson Band All my friends are gone and my hair is grey I ache in all the places where I used to play And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on I'm just paying my rent every day in the Tower of Song I said to Hank Williams, how lonely does it get? Hank Williams hasn't answered yet But I hear him coughing all night long Oh, a hundred floors above me in the Tower of Song I was born like this, I had no choice I was born with the gift of a golden voice And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond They tied me to this table right here in the Tower of Song So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all I'm standing by the window where the light is strong Ah, they don't let a woman kill you, not in the Tower of Song Now, you can say that I've grown bitter but of this you may be sure The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor And there's a mighty judgment coming, but I may be wrong I keep hearing these funny voices in the Tower of Song I see you standing on the other side I don't know how the river got so wide I loved you baby, way back when And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed But I feel so far from everything that we lost We'll never, we'll never have to lose it again Now I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track But you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm gone I'll be speaking to you sweetly from the Tower of Song Yeah, my friends are gone and my hair is grey I ache in the places where I used to play And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on I'm just paying my rent every day in the Tower of Song

I WILL SING FOR YOU When all the worlds fail All paths seem hard to cross When no one hears your wails And all you have seems lost I will always hear I’ll always be true When you’re full of fear I will sing for you I will sing for you
