The Byrds Long Live The King written by David
Crosby
The first thing that they tell you about is that you will be king
A priest at least they tell you and then that everything will be
alright at last
You will finally be cast into your rightful throne
They got it all down cold
Next thing that they tell you is not to be afraid
You think you're better than the others somewhat fine and brave
They lead astray you could be up there all alone
A star they say a million miles away from home
An empty space is that the place you wanted
The last thing that they tell you about they ask you will it hurt
They said sell what you can boy get out while the getting's good
And they whisper in the evening all around town
Oh humpty dumpty the king is falling down
The Byrds Sweet Mary written by McGuinn/Levy
Sweet Mary I've got to be leaving
Oh I can't let you into my life
Cause I know it would end in grieving and the last thing I need is a
wife
When I met I met you for pleasure
And the good times of running around
Then you seemed to be so understanding
The good times are coming between us
Though you helped me I'm carrying my load
And I've never felt more like a lover but I'm running right off the
road
Sweet Mary I've got to be leaving
Oh I can't let you into my life
Cause I know it would end in grieving and the last thing I need is a
wife
Oh it's nothing you said or invited
And it's nothing you did that was wrong
Our love together was heaven but I promised myself to be strong
Sweet Mary I've got to be leaving
Oh I can't let you into my life
Cause I know it would end in grieving and the last thing I need is a
wife
The Byrds Cowgirl In The Sand written by Neil Young
Hello cowgirl in the sand is this place at your command
Can I stay here for awhile can I see your sweet sweet smile
Old enough now to change your name
When so many love you is it the same
It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game
Hello ruby in the dust has your band began to rust
After all the sin we've had I was hoping that we'd turn back
A^¿
Old enough now to change your name
When so many love you is it the same
It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game
Hello woman of my dreams is this not the way it seems
Purple words on a gray back ground
To be a woman and to be turned down
Old enough now to change your name
When so many love you is it the same
It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game
The Byrds Things Will Be Better written by Chris Hillman
Dallas Taylor
Things will be better now
Don't ask me why don't ask me how
And both of us feel the same way
What we're feeling inside we just can't seem to say
Cause misunderstanding is the cause of it all
Take you to the top just to watch you fall
Some time it's lonely and cold
When you're so far away from home
Confusion can lead you astray
It's just a terrible price to pay
I bought you some books I dressed you up real fine
Go and live your life just let me live mine
