Linda Ronstadt - Adieu False Heart - lyrics

Adieu false heart, now we must part
May the joys of the world go with you
I love you long with a faithful heart
But never anymore can I believe you
I seen the time I'd married you
And been your constant lover
But now I'd gladly give you up
For one whose heart is truer
You think you are too good for me
You think I am forsaken
But if you think I care for you
You are very much mistaken
My mind is like the constant sun
From the east to the west it ranges
But yours is like unto the moon
It's every month, it changes
When I lay down to take my rest
No scornful one to wake me
I'll go straight way unto my grave
Just as fast as time can take me
Adieu false heart, now we must part
May the joys of the world go with you
I love you long with a faithful heart
But never anymore can I believe you

Linda Ronstadt - Alma Adentro - lyrics

written by Sylvia Rexach
Triste caravana de recuerdos
Por mi mente ha pasado
Rastros de nostalgia que ha dejado
Un amor ya fracasado
Ojos que te buscan aaºn sabiendo
Que no estar

Linda Ronstadt - After The Gold Rush - lyrics

(Neil Young)
Well I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming
Saying something about a queen
There were peasants singing and drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree
There was a fanfare blowing to the sun
That was floating on the breeze
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the Twentieth Century
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the Twentieth Century
I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eye
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst through the sky
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like I could cry
I was thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie
Thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie
I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun
There was cihldren crying and colors flying
All around the chosen ones
All in a dream, all in a dream, the loading had begun
Flying Mother Nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun
Flying Mother Nature's silver seed to a new home

Linda Ronstadt - Adios - lyrics

written by Jimmy Webb
© 1981 White Oaks Songs (ASCAP)
Ran away from home when I was seventeen
To be with you
On the California coast
Drinking margaritas all night in the old cantina
Out on the California coast
Don't think that I'm ungrateful
And don't look so morose
Adios
Adios
We never really made it baby
But we came pretty close
Adios adios
Going up north where the hills are winter green
I have to leave you
On the California coast
Going where the water's clear and the air is cleaner
Than the California coast
Our dreams of endless summer
Were just too grandiose
Adios
Adios
And I miss the blood red sunset
But I miss you the most
Adios adios
Adios
Adios
Adios adios

Linda Ronstadt - 1917 - lyrics

The strange young man who comes to me
A soldier on a three day spree
Who needs one night's cheap ecstasy
And a woman's arms to hide him
He greets me with a courtly bow
And hides his pain by acting proud
He drinks too much and he laughs too loud
How can I deny him?
Let us dance beneath the moon
I'll sing to you "Claire de Lune'
The morning always comes too soon
But tonight the war is over
He speaks to me in schoolboy French
Of a soldier's life inside a trench
Of the look of death and the ghastly stench
I do my best to please him
He puts two roses in a vase
Two roses sadly out of place
Like the gallant smile on his haggard face
Playfully I tease him
Hold me 'neath the Paris skies
Let's not talk of how or why
Tomorrow's soon enough to die
But tonight the war is over
We make love too hard too fast
He falls asleep, his face a mask
He wakes with the shakes and he drinks from his flask
I put my arms around him
They die in the trenches and they die in the air
In Belgium and France the dead are everywhere
They die so fast there's no time to prepare
A decent grave to surround them
Old world glory, old world fame
The old world's gone, gone up in flames
Nothing will ever be the same
And nothing lasts forever
Oh I'd pray for him but I've forgotten how
And there's nothing, nothing that can save him now
There's always another with the same funny bow
And who am I to deny them

Linda Ronstadt - Across The Border - lyrics

written by Bruce Springsteen
© Bruce Springsteen (ASCAP)
Tonight my bag is packed
Tomorrow I'll walk these tracks
That will lead me 'cross the border
Tomorrow my love and I
We'll sleep 'neath auburn skies
Somewhere across the border
We'll leave behind my dear
Pain and sadness we've found here
And we'll drink from the Brazos' muddy waters
Where the sky grows gray and wide
We'll meet on the other side
There across the border
For me you'll build a house
High upon a grassy hill
Somewhere across the border
Where pain and memory
Pain and memory have been stilled
There across the border
Sweet blossoms fill the air
Pastures of gold and green
Roll down into cool clear waters
And in your arms 'neath open skies
I'll kiss the sorrow from your eyes
There across the border
Tonight we'll sing the songs
And I'll dream of you, my corazon
And tomorrow my heart will be strong
And may the saints' blessing and grace
Carry me safely into your arms
There across the border
For what are we
Without hope in our hearts
That someday we'll drink from God's blessed waters
And eat the fruit from the vine
I know that love and fortune will be mine
Somewhere across the border

Linda Ronstadt - All My Life - lyrics

Am I really here in your arms
Its just like I dreamed it would be
I feel like we're frozen in time
And you're the only one I can see
Hey, I've looked All my Life for you
And now you're here
Hey, I've spent All my Life with you
All my Life
And I never really knew how to love
I just hoped somehow I'd see
Asked for a little help from above
Send that angel down to me
Hey, I've looked All my Life for you
And now you're here
Hey, I've spent All my Life with you
All my Life
I never thought that I could feel a love so tender
I never thought I could let those feelings show
But now my heart is on my sleeve
and this love will never leave
I know
I know
Hey, I've looked All my Life for you
And now you're here
Hey, I've spent All my Life with you
All my Life
All my Life
Hey, I've looked All my Life for you
And now you're here
Hey, I've spent All my Life with you
All my Life

Linda Ronstadt - A Number And A Name - lyrics

written by Steve Gillette and T Campbell
How many times have I read farewell lines
In the things that you never seemed to say
How many times have I read those last lines
And wondered why it ended this way
Words of goodbye and all those loving lines
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time
How you would write about the bright lights
And your words always clouded up my eyes
How you would write about the bright lights
It's a wonder that I never realized
Our race was run now another's just begun
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time
When your letters stopped the tears that I fought
How they came in the flood of memories
When your letters stopped the tears that I fought
How they ran like the rivers to the seas
Each sunny day you slip further away
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time

Linda Ronstadt - All That You Dream - lyrics

written by Paul Barrre and Bill Payne
© ***** Snake Music (ASCAP)
I've been down but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more
All, all that you dream
Comes through shining silver lining clouds
Clouds change the scene
Rain starts washing all those cautions into your life
Makes you realize just what is true
What else can you do
Just follow the rules
Keep your eyes on the road that's ahead of you
I've been down but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more
All of the good times were ours
In the land of milk and honey
Time, time adds its scars
Rainy days they turn to sunny ones
Living the life, living the life, loving everyone
I've been down but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more
I've been down but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more

Linda Ronstadt - Alison - lyrics

Well, it's so funny to be seein ya after so long girl
by the way look, I understand
that you are not impressed
I heard you let that little friend of mine
take off your party dress
I'm not gonna get too sentimental
like those other sticky valentines
cuz I don't know if you were lovin somebody
I only hope it wasn't mine
Chorus
Alison
I know this world is killin you
oh, Alison
my aim is true
well i see ya got a husband now
but did you leave your pretty fingers
lying in the wedding cake
you used to hold him right in your hand
but it took all he could take
sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talkin
when I hear the silly things you say
I think somebody better put out the big light
cuz I can't stand to see you this way
Chorus
