Need you more than ever
Here in this place and time

Lift us to the ether
Truth is so crystalline

So please mend our hearts and minds
Lift us to the ether
Love is so crystalline

Take Me As I Am lyrics - Christopher Cross
Faith will you absolve me
Or hold me to fire
For all for all the fools I've been
Could you abide me
Trust this lonely squire
And take me as I am
Faith will you trust me
Forgive this naked liar
For all my wayward sins
Could you embrace me
And find it in your heart
To take me as I am
Faith will you absolve me
Or hold me to fire
For all for all the fools I've been
Could you abide me
Trust this lonely squire
And take me as I am
Faith will you trust me
Forgive this naked liar
For all my wayward sins
Could you embrace me
And find it in your heart
To take me as I am
Take me as I am
Take me as I am
Roberta (For Joni Mitchell) lyrics - Christopher Cross
She is the sun
She is the seed and water
She's the shaman
Don Juan's reckless daughter
She is the sun
She is the seed and water
She's the shaman
Don Juan's reckless daughter
The gift of purpose
A path to call my own
All these gifts
From my muse
Roberta, Roberta
Down To The Wire lyrics - Christopher Cross
It comes down to the wire
(Down to the wire)
It comes down to the wire
(Down to the wire)
Always comes down to the wire
(Down to the wire)
I'm so tired of living on that wire
It comes down to the wire
(Down to the wire)
It comes down to the wire
(Down to the wire)
Always comes down to the wire
(Down to the wire)
I'm so tired of living on that wire
It comes down to the wire
(Down to the wire)
It comes down to the wire
(Down to the wire)
Always comes down to the wire
(Down to the wire)
I'm so tired of living on that wire
It comes down to the wire
(Down to the wire)
Down to the wire
I'm so tired of living on that wire
Baby It's All You lyrics - Christopher Cross
Bébé, t'es tout pour moi
Bébé, t'es tout pour moi
Baby, it's all you
Yea, it's all you
Bébé, t'es tout pour moi
Bébé, t'es tout pour moi
Baby, it's all you
Yea, it's all you
Baby
Lost in the dance
We give into desire
Babe, I'm on fire
Bébé, t'es tout pour moi
Bébé, t'es tout pour moi
Baby, it's all you
Yea, it's all you
Bébé, t'es tout pour moi (Baby)
Bébé, t'es tout pour moi
Baby, it's all you
Yea, it's all you
Baby

Bébé, t'es tout pour moi (Baby)
Bébé, t'es tout pour moi (Baby it's you)
Bébé, t'es tout pour moi (Baby)
Bébé, t'es tout pour moi (Baby it's all you)
Bébé, t'es tout pour moi
Old Days lyrics - Christopher Cross
Old days
Old ways
Things are not the same
Time frays
My mind strays
The evanesce of the flame
Old days
Old ways
Things are not the same
Time frays
My mind strays
The evanesce of the flame
Slow fade
Love conveyed
Bittersweet memories
Amends made
Grateful praise
A voice amongst the trees
Old days
Things are not the same
Old ways
Things are not the same
River Of Tears lyrics - Christopher Cross
All those knights
In all those years
Rusted away in a river of tears
Now you lock yourself in fortress of fear
And never see the sun
But I'll love you like there's no tomorrow
I will beg, steal and borrow
That is what I'll do for you, baby
I'll do for you, baby
All those knights
In all those years
Rusted away in a river of tears
Now you lock yourself in fortress of fear
And never see the sun
But I'll love you like there's no tomorrow
I will beg, steal and borrow
That is what I'll do for you, baby
I'll do for you, baby
All those knights
In all those years
Rusted away in a river of tears
Now you lock yourself in fortress of fear
And never see the sun
But I'll love you like there's no tomorrow
I will beg, steal and borrow
That is what I'll do for you, baby
Truth lyrics - Christopher Cross (feat. Gigi Worth)
We scratch and fight to learn
Where in this heaven our truth is
But will the years all burn
Before we look we look where our youth is
The dove is not distressed
For the truth of why or when
Her truth is food and rest
So she can fly again
Embarrassed now by all that hair
Young and foolish we declare
Didn't know what the game was
Still our aim was true
We took the world and made a fuss
But now the world has taken us
We are beaten but we're learning what to do
The truth
The truth
The truth
The truth
We knew it in our youth
Like Minded Saviors lyrics - Christopher Cross
Calling out to all my neighbors
Rise and save our wonderland
You and I like minded saviors
Raise your voice we'll take a stand
Calling out to all my neighbors
Rise and save this promised land
You and I like minded saviors
Voices strong we'll make our stand
Calling out to all my neighbors
Rise and save our wonderland
You and I like minded saviors
Raise your voice we'll take a stand
Calling out to all my neighbors
Rise and save this promised land
You and I like minded saviors
Voices strong we'll make our stand
Calling out
Calling out
Calling out
Alvah (In Memory Of Rob Meuer) lyrics - Christopher Cross
Hey my friend
Guess you're in the wind
Finding open spaces
Where your soul can roam
We miss you so
But we know you know
Your light will shine forever
Here at home
Hey my friend
Guess you're in the wind
Finding open spaces
Where your soul can roam
I miss you so
But we know you know
Your light will shine forever
Here at home
Hey my friend
Guess you're in the wind
Finding open spaces
Where your soul can roam
I miss you so
But I know you know
Your light will shine forever
Here for me at home
Mary Ann lyrics - Christopher Cross
Well the candle is out and the dreams were young
Tonight has been kind of a lonely one
My heart out of time making up my mind
But I know in the morning the sun will shine
Say goodbye to Mary Ann
Tell her I've gone to the promised land
To make my way in the world as a music man
Was gone from the cruise, sitting right with them
Just me, my guitar, and the morning sun
I've been living the sweet life with my lovers and friends
But the hardest to leave was my Mary Ann
Say goodbye to Mary Ann
Tell her I've gone to the promised land
To make my way in the world as a music man
Say goodbye to Mary Ann
Tell her I've gone to the promised land
I'm sure that she will understand
Well, you know what they say, they say don't look back
But it's all so hard as I sit by the tracks
To the east is my home sweet home
And to the west is where I long to roam
It's so hard
Well the candle is out and the dreams were young
Tonight has been kind of a lonely one
My heart out of time making up my mind
But I know in the morning the sun will shine
Say goodbye to Mary Ann
Tell her I've gone to the promised land
To make my way in the world as a music man
Say goodbye to Mary Ann
Tell her I've gone to the promised land
I'm sure that she will understand
Say goodbye to Mary Ann
Tell her I've gone to the promised land
To make my way in the world as a music man

Reverend Blowhard lyrics - Christopher Cross
You’re so white
And you’re so right
They used to sit with their checkbooks
And watch you on Saturday night
And you made sure they knew
They were born in sin
And gave the address
Where they could mail it in
Uh-huh
Save ya, uh-huh
So you preached
And you beseeched
The old and the sad and the weak
Were the people you reached
And they made you famous
They made you fat
And God forgave you
Or something like that
Uh-huh
Save ya, uh-huh
Ain’t that sweet
Ain’t that clever
They’re thinking they’ll live forever
You brought it
And they bought it
Now life is a breeze
Reverend Blowhard
Hey have a cigar
Ride in the car
With the bar
Your chauffeur has a halo !
You were the man
But he’s got a plan
Work on your tan
But lay low
Hey buddy the chosen are few
But you got some ‘splainin’ to do
The hooker that died in your room
And the sailors who tied you with duct tape
And wailed with that cat-o’-nine-tails
All those tales
That’s one indulgence you could not sell
Your friends of the flesh
Left their surprise from hell
Uh-huh
Ain’t life whack
Ain’t life funny
All the things you can get with money
They brought it
And you bought it
Get down on your knees
Ain’t that sweet
Ain’t that clever
Our heaven is now or never
But you brought it
And they bought it
It’s all a disease
Reverend Blowhard
Blow blow Blowhard
And you’re so right
They used to sit with their checkbooks
And watch you on Saturday night
And you made sure they knew
They were born in sin

So you preached
And you beseeched
The old and the sad and the weak

And they made you famous

I Don't See It Your Way lyrics - Christopher Cross
Call it discussion
Call it debate
Call it two fools shouting at the night
Toxic with anger
Right from the gate
As each of us pretend we know what’s right
We can’t repair it
It’s way too late
Now our hearts are only in this fight
Love and kindness
Is the rule
But my darling
I’m no fool
I don’t see it your way
I don’t see it your way
I don’t see it your way
I don’t see it your way
Say I’m a typical man
Say I’m an old cliché
But I don’t see it your way
I don’t see it your way
I like to think I’m trying
But I don’t hear what you say
‘Cause I don't see it your way
I don't see it your way
You slap me with silence
I make a scene
We’ll see who hits the wall
Before we’re through
You judge me so harshly
You seem so mean
And saying this of course
I’m judging you
The circle’s vicious
‘Round our necks
Don’t talk money
Don’t talk sex
‘Cause I don’t see it your way
I don’t see it your way
I don’t see it your way
I don’t see it your way
I don’t dig my role
In your morality play
And I don’t see it your way
I don’t see it your way
I need my conclusions
To keep oblivion at bay
I don't see it your way
I don't see it your way
And when I knew it all
Oh I felt so free
I don't see it your way
Ain’t no shades of gray
I don't see it your way
Ain’t no shades of gray
Call it debate
Call it two fools shouting at the night
Toxic with anger
Right from the gate
As each of us pretend we know what’s right
We can’t repair it
It’s way too late
Now our hearts are only in this fight
Love and kindness
Is the rule
But my darling
I’m no fool
I don’t see it your way
I don’t see it your way
I don’t see it your way
I don’t see it your way
Say I’m a typical man
Say I’m an old cliché
But I don’t see it your way
I don’t see it your way
I like to think I’m trying
But I don’t hear what you say
‘Cause I don't see it your way
I don't see it your way
You slap me with silence
I make a scene
We’ll see who hits the wall
Before we’re through
You judge me so harshly
You seem so mean
And saying this of course
I’m judging you
The circle’s vicious
‘Round our necks
Don’t talk money
Don’t talk sex
‘Cause I don’t see it your way
I don’t see it your way
I don’t see it your way
I don’t see it your way
I don’t dig my role
In your morality play
And I don’t see it your way
I don’t see it your way
I need my conclusions
To keep oblivion at bay
I don't see it your way
I don't see it your way
And when I knew it all
Oh I felt so free
I don't see it your way
Ain’t no shades of gray
I don't see it your way
Ain’t no shades of gray
The Times I Need You lyrics - Christopher Cross
Ooh this life can surely kick your ass
People smile and say this too shall pass
Brother they may never care
But you were always there
All the times I needed you
Yes you were there but where was I
(Turning to the wrong protectors)
Letting honest comfort pass me by
(Taking love from love rejectors)
I’d be in free fall
But too afraid to call
All the times I needed you
Friendship
Sitting like a dog down at your feet
Kick it
Ignore it
But it will still be there !
Ooh my ego lies just like a song
It says keep it to yourself
And you’ll look strong
All that time-honored crap
Just helped me lose my map
All the times I needed you
Friendship
Sitting like a dog down at your feet
Kick it
Ignore it
But it follows you everywhere
I could be a jerk sometimes
You could be a jerk sometimes
It’s all a matter of degrees !
Ooh now I look back and there we are
(Two scared shaggy-haired
mis-paired lunatics)
Pooling all our cash to buy a star
(Look there we are on the TV)
If I had my own way
I’d let you know today
That I always needed you
All the times I needed you
People smile and say this too shall pass
Brother they may never care
But you were always there
All the times I needed you
Yes you were there but where was I
(Turning to the wrong protectors)
Letting honest comfort pass me by
(Taking love from love rejectors)
I’d be in free fall
But too afraid to call
All the times I needed you
Friendship
Sitting like a dog down at your feet
Kick it
Ignore it
But it will still be there !
Ooh my ego lies just like a song
It says keep it to yourself
And you’ll look strong
All that time-honored crap
Just helped me lose my map
All the times I needed you
Friendship
Sitting like a dog down at your feet
Kick it
Ignore it
But it follows you everywhere
I could be a jerk sometimes
You could be a jerk sometimes
It’s all a matter of degrees !
Ooh now I look back and there we are
(Two scared shaggy-haired
mis-paired lunatics)
Pooling all our cash to buy a star
(Look there we are on the TV)
If I had my own way
I’d let you know today
That I always needed you
All the times I needed you
Island Of Anger lyrics - Christopher Cross
It's a beautiful world
Filled with stupid people
Beating each other's brains out
Like the cavemen did
But I'm stuck right here
Wondering why I can't do
Like the brave men did
Oh don't I know
This ain't no way to live
When everything I see and hear
Makes me mad
And there's no silver lining
The stuff that doesn't get me angry
Makes me sad
Hard to believe I'm not a kid
Hard to believe the things I did
Hard to believe the ways I hid my love
Wondering now why I'm not free
Wondering how I came to be
An island of anger in a sea of love
And love rules
This much I understand
But all the ones who live for peace die for it
Still somehow that message comes
And every day I struggle to decipher it
Younger by half
I was quick to laugh
Hopeful and alive to what might come
Where's my spark
Skies so dark
All I seem to hear is a distant drum
Hard to believe the time's so short
Hard to believe I'm still in port
Dying to set a different sort of course
Wondering now how I'll get free
And how to become a refugee
From an island of anger
In a sea of love
Filled with stupid people
Beating each other's brains out
Like the cavemen did
But I'm stuck right here
Wondering why I can't do
Like the brave men did
Oh don't I know
This ain't no way to live
When everything I see and hear
Makes me mad
And there's no silver lining
The stuff that doesn't get me angry
Makes me sad
Hard to believe I'm not a kid
Hard to believe the things I did
Hard to believe the ways I hid my love
Wondering now why I'm not free
Wondering how I came to be
An island of anger in a sea of love
And love rules
This much I understand
But all the ones who live for peace die for it
Still somehow that message comes
And every day I struggle to decipher it
Younger by half
I was quick to laugh
Hopeful and alive to what might come
Where's my spark
Skies so dark
All I seem to hear is a distant drum
Hard to believe the time's so short
Hard to believe I'm still in port
Dying to set a different sort of course
Wondering now how I'll get free
And how to become a refugee
From an island of anger
In a sea of love
V lyrics - Christopher Cross
I know you hurt
I know you do
The deepest pain you ever knew
I know that you
Will think of her
And all the wondrous things that were
All seems lost
She was the one
You don't see how
You can go on
I know you will
I know you will my friend
The light of joy so faint and gray
The waves of sadness seize the day
There is no place
That you can find
To hide away as John would say
Things will change
The tables turn
You’ll understand
What you have learned
I know you will
I know you will my friend
Her kiss is on
The wind again
There’s no escape
Once it begins
Until your breath returns
You miss her smile,
Her laugh, her touch
Most of all
You miss the way
She loved you
I know this girl
She hurt you so
The deepest pain you’ll ever know
I know how hard
This is for you
That all those dreams
Won’t come true
The time will come
When love will die
And heaven opens up its sky
Your heart will heal
And you will care
And see that life is everywhere
I know you will
I know you will my friend
I know you do
The deepest pain you ever knew
I know that you
Will think of her
And all the wondrous things that were
All seems lost
She was the one
You don't see how
You can go on
I know you will
I know you will my friend
The light of joy so faint and gray
The waves of sadness seize the day
There is no place
That you can find
To hide away as John would say
Things will change
The tables turn
You’ll understand
What you have learned
I know you will
I know you will my friend
Her kiss is on
The wind again
There’s no escape
Once it begins
Until your breath returns
You miss her smile,
Her laugh, her touch
Most of all
You miss the way
She loved you
I know this girl
She hurt you so
The deepest pain you’ll ever know
I know how hard
This is for you
That all those dreams
Won’t come true
The time will come
When love will die
And heaven opens up its sky
Your heart will heal
And you will care
And see that life is everywhere
I know you will
I know you will my friend
Experiment lyrics - Christopher Cross
Under a tree where I lay with my lies
Something or someone
Bestowed a surprise
Telling me I had no use for my eyes
If I really wanted to see
Walking me tall like a priest with no pope
No one in lab coats and no one with dope
Nobody dangling some flimsy old hope
And nothing to do but to be
All my baggage sent on ahead
Gentleman style
All I remember are people who smile
Holding the world in the palm of my hand
Feeling my pulse like the bass in a band
Welcoming chaos I can’t understand
Hey I’m an experiment
Hey I’m an experiment
Hey I’m an experiment
A most willing subject am I
Now the abyss seems to have its allure
No ground to stand on and nothing secure
Why should a monkey like me feel so pure
Kissing tomorrow goodbye
Far from the comfort of all my despair
Every wrong thought is a wisp in the air
I try to worry but nothing is there
I throw up my hands and I cry
All I wanted falls at my feet
Holy and bright
All I remember is what I did right
Holding the world
In the palm of my hand
Feeling my pulse
Like the bass in a band
Finding amazement
Wherever I land
Hey I’m an experiment
Hey I’m an experiment
Hey I’m an experiment
Be an experiment
Hey I’m an experiment
Hey I’m an experiment
Hey I’m an experiment
Find your experiment
Something or someone
Bestowed a surprise
Telling me I had no use for my eyes
If I really wanted to see
Walking me tall like a priest with no pope
No one in lab coats and no one with dope
Nobody dangling some flimsy old hope
And nothing to do but to be
All my baggage sent on ahead
Gentleman style
All I remember are people who smile
Holding the world in the palm of my hand
Feeling my pulse like the bass in a band
Welcoming chaos I can’t understand
Hey I’m an experiment
Hey I’m an experiment
Hey I’m an experiment
A most willing subject am I
Now the abyss seems to have its allure
No ground to stand on and nothing secure
Why should a monkey like me feel so pure
Kissing tomorrow goodbye
Far from the comfort of all my despair
Every wrong thought is a wisp in the air
I try to worry but nothing is there
I throw up my hands and I cry
All I wanted falls at my feet
Holy and bright
All I remember is what I did right
Holding the world
In the palm of my hand
Feeling my pulse
Like the bass in a band
Finding amazement
Wherever I land
Hey I’m an experiment
Hey I’m an experiment
Hey I’m an experiment
Be an experiment
Hey I’m an experiment
Hey I’m an experiment
Hey I’m an experiment
Find your experiment
Simple lyrics - Christopher Cross
The past and the future
Is a bad neighborhood
I’d live in the present if only I could
When I’m in the moment
It’s nothing but good
So very still
Holding the silence up to my ear
A sound that’s so beautiful
No one can hear
A sound that’s so awesome
No one comes near
So very still
Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple
Trying to peel the rubbish away
Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple
Boiling it down to only today
It’s the way
Every molecule under the sun
All of the energy running the fun
Patiently whispering you are all one
So very still
Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple
Trying to peel the rubbish away
Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple
Boiling it down to only today
It’s the way
Ooh there’s nothing like a romance
And life without physical love — not a chance
But deep down beneath that primitive dance
The song of the universe hums
Nobody said love was easy but
Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple
Wiping the culture off of my soul
Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple
Keeping it real, keeping me whole
Is a bad neighborhood
I’d live in the present if only I could
When I’m in the moment
It’s nothing but good
So very still
Holding the silence up to my ear
A sound that’s so beautiful
No one can hear
A sound that’s so awesome
No one comes near
So very still
Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple
Trying to peel the rubbish away
Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple
Boiling it down to only today
It’s the way
Every molecule under the sun
All of the energy running the fun
Patiently whispering you are all one
So very still
Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple
Trying to peel the rubbish away
Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple
Boiling it down to only today
It’s the way
Ooh there’s nothing like a romance
And life without physical love — not a chance
But deep down beneath that primitive dance
The song of the universe hums
Nobody said love was easy but
Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple
Wiping the culture off of my soul
Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple
Keeping it real, keeping me whole
