    This song really has to be heard. Its much more upbeat than the lyrics seem, especially the live version which gets the most radio play. Based on how the song itself, it's always been a song about humility to me. I think that's something I lose focus on. It's so hard to admit when you're wrong, or you can't have something, or you don't need something right then. Pride, jealousy, and ego. To me this song reminds me to avoid each of them. There is something beautiful about a simple life of humility.



    He wants to dream like a young man
    With the wisdom of an old man
    He wants his home and security
    He wants to live like a sailor at sea

    Beautiful loser
    Where you gonna fall?
    When you realize, you just can't have it all

    He's your oldest and your best friend
    If you need him, he'll be there again
    He's always willing to be second-best
    A perfect lodger, a perfect guest

    Beautiful loser
    Read it on the wall
    And realize
    You just can't have it all

    You just can't have it all
    You just can't have it all
    Ohh, ohh, can't have it all

    You can try, you can try, but you can't have it all
    oh yeah

    He'll never make any enemies, enemies, no
    He won't complain if he's caught in a freeze
    He'll always ask, he'll always say please

    Beautiful loser
    Never take it all
    'Cause it's easier
    And faster when you fall

    You just don't need it all
    You just don't need it all
    You just don't need it all
    Just don't need it all

    Its alright
    There comes a time
    Got no patience to search
    For peace of mind
    Layin low
    Want to take it slow
    No more hiding or
    Disguising truths Ive sold

    Everyday its something
    Hits me all so cold
    Find me sittin by myself
    No excuses, then I know

    Its okay
    Had a bad day
    Hands are bruised from
    Breaking rocks all day
    Drained and blue
    I bleed for you
    You think its funny, well
    You're drowning in it too

    Everyday its something
    Hits me all so cold
    Find me sittin by myself
    No excuses, then I know

    Yeah, its fine
    Well walk down the line
    Leave our rain, a cold
    Trade for warm sunshine
    You my friend
    I will defend
    And if we change, well i
    Love you anyway

    Everyday its something
    Hits me all so cold
    Find me sittin by myself
    No excuses, then I know

    More songs i'm listening to
    Now here you go again
    You say you want your freedom
    Well who am I to keep you down
    Its only right that you should
    Play the way you feel it
    But listen carefully to the sound
    Of your loneliness
    Like a heartbeat.. drives you mad
    In the stillness of remembering what you had
    And what you lost...
    And what you had...
    And what you lost

    Thunder only happens when its raining
    Players only love you when they're playing
    Say... women... they will come and they will go
    When the rain washes you clean... you'll know

    Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
    I keep my visions to myself
    Its only me
    Who wants to wrap around your dreams and...
    Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
    Dreams of loneliness...
    Like a heartbeat... drives you mad...
    In the stillness of remembering what you had...
    And what you lost...
    And what you had...
    And what you lost

    Thunder only happens when its raining
    Players only love you when they're playing
    Say... women... they will come and they will go
    When the rain washes you clean... you'll know

    It's getting to the point
    Where I'm no fun anymore
    I am sorry
    Sometimes it hurts so badly
    I must cry out loud
    I am lonely
    I am yours, you are mine
    You are what you are
    And 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.
    I am yours, you are mine
    You are what you are
    You make it hard.

    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
    I am yours, you are mine
    You are what you are
    You make it hard.

    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.
    I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
    You make it hard
    And you make it hard (x 3).

    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? (Help me I'm suffering)
    Listen to me baby.
    It's my heart that's a suffering (Help me I'm dying)
    It's a dying, 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 the 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, leery, losing love, lamenting
    Change my life, make it right
    Be my lady.

    Que linda me la traiga Cuba,
    La reina de la Mar Caribe.
    Cielo sol no tiene sangre allĂ­,
    y que triste que no puedo vaya,
    Oh va, oh va, va.

    Current Music: Crosby Still and Nash- Suite Judy Blue Eyes

    One morning I woke up and I knew that you were gone.
    A new day, a new way, I knew I should see it along.
    Go your way, I'll go mine and carry on.

    The sky is clearing and the night has gone out.
    The sun, he come, the world is all full of light.
    Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice but to carry on.

    The fortunes of fables are able to sing the song.
    Now witness the quickness with which we get along.
    To sing the blues you've got to live the tunes and carry on.

    Carry on, love is coming, love is coming to us all.

    Where are you going now my love? Where will you be tomorrow?
    Will you bring me happiness? Will you bring me sorrow?
    Oh, the questions of a thousand dreams, what you do and what you see,
    Lover, can you talk to me?

    Girl, when I was on my own, chasing you down,
    What was it made you run, trying your best just to get around?
    The questions of a thousand dreams, what you do and what you see,
    Lover, can you talk to me?

    Current Music: Crosby Still and Nash- Carry On

    That you'd fall for his line
    All of a sudden its
    Me on the outside
