DANKO / FJELD / ANDERSEN

Driftin' Away  (Eric Andersen, Rick Danko)   [Albums: Danko / Fjeld / Andersen, One More Shot (Molde bonus disc)]

I'm driftin' away
Down a long dark highway
I looked back once
I can't look anymore
And if you find me
On some lonesome shore
You wouldn't have
To look for more

You touched a dream
You broke a heart
Now wasn't that a shame
Heaven must know
I gave all i could
Can't give you more
Please don't stand outside
Of my door

I'm driftin' away, etc...

You call on the phone
You say you're alone
What am i supposed
To do about that
Words they can cut
Cut deep like a knife
Right to the core
Please don't stand outside
Of my door

I'm driftin' away, etc...

Don't write me a letter
I don't want to know
Don't say you've found
Somebody new
If it's somebody else
Don't tell me who, why, or
What for
Please
Don't stand
Outside of my door

I'm driftin' away, etc....

Blaze of Glory  (Johnny Slate, Danny Morrison, Larry Keith)   [Albums: Danko / Fjeld / Andersen]

Let's go out
In a blaze of glory
All good things must end
Like three heros in a story
Let's go out like we came in
In a blaze of glory

Here we are broken-hearted
Thought this love could never end
Now we fell hard once we got started
Falling out like we fell in

Let's go out, etc...

Let's not try to hurt each other
That would be our worst mistake
Let's just try to act like brothers
One more time for old-time's sake

Let's go out, etc...

Last Thing on my Mind  (Tom Paxton)   [Albums: Danko / Fjeld / Andersen, The Cologne Concert]

It's a lesson too late for the learnin'
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'
In your hand, in your hand.

Chorus:
    Are you going away with no word of farewell?
    Will there be not a trace left behind?
    Well, I could have loved you better,
    Didn't mean to be unkind.
    You know that was the last thing on my mind.

You've got reasons a-plenty for goin'.
This I know, this I know.
For the weeds have been steadily growin'.
Please don't go, please don't go.

Chorus

As I lie in my bed in the mornin',
Without you, without you.
Every song in my breast dies a-bornin',
Without you, without you.

Chorus
