The needs of many been on my mind,
So much more than the needs of mine,
No Devil will take me off my track,
Been on this road far too long.

Take my mind, soul, body and heart,
Got to come together, let no-one tear us apart,
Take my mind, soul, body and heart,
Got to come together,
You gotta be selfless, selfless.

Climb the highest mountain, fight the razorbone,
The baptism of fire, temptation is strong,
Walking the line in ruins of desire,
Oh Lord help me to see what's gone wrong.

Take my mind, soul, body and heart,
Got to come together, let no-one tear us apart,
Take my mind, soul, body and heart,
Got to come together,
You gotta be selfless,
The Devil won't take me.

Every time you look my way,
I get a feeling there'll be hell to pay,
If I let you in, you're gonna let me down.
Your reputation leaves a lot to be desired,
You've got the devil in your eyes.

But when you come knocking,
There’s just no stopping my heart from letting you in,
I can't control it, and I hate that you know it,
You've really gotten under my skin,
Oh, I should ignore you, oh, I should see right through you,
But it’s like you've got me under your spell,
I need to turn around before you lead me down,
A one way street to hell.

When I think I'm doing fine,
You got a habit of crossing my mind,
Like a movie on repeat.
Everything about you tells me you're no good,
I need to walk away, oh, I know I should.

But when you come knocking,
There’s just no stopping my heart from letting you in,
I can't control it, and I hate that you know it,
You've really gotten under my skin,
Oh, I should ignore you, oh, I should see right through you,
But it’s like you've got me under your spell,
I need to turn around before you lead me down,
A one way street to hell.

You're gonna bring me down,
You're gonna bring me down.

Down on your luck,Beggin' for a meal,Nobody helping' ya,They don't see the appeal.
Wayfaring drifter,Won't you sing me the blues,go on paint me a picture,Yeah tell me the news.
Home is where the heart is,Your bed wherever you lay,Spread a little sunshine,Come what may.
No one to trust,Oh so cold and alone,Always a boom or a bust,Now all your chances are blown.
Holding' out hope,That you will redeem,Manifest a thousand ways of,Livin' the dream.
Driving big fast cars,Heavy on the wheel,Blast off and out of here,Ah how good would that feel.
Ain't no mistaken',What I came here to say,Ain't no vows that i'm breakin',Yeah come what may.
Home is where the heart is,Yeah that's what they say,You must be a fighter,Come what may.Home is where the heart is,Your bed wherever you lay,Spread a little sunshine,
Oh come what may.

Verse 1

As the blackbird in the spring

'neath the willow tree

Sat and piped I heard him sing

Praising Aura Lee.

Chorus

Aura Lea! Aura Lea! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 2

Take my heart and take my ring

I give my all to thee

Take me for eternity

Dearest Aura Lee!

Chorus

Aura Lea! Aura Lea! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 3

In her blush the rose was born

'twas music when she spoke

In her eyes the light of morn

Sparkling seemed to break.

Chorus

Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 4

Aura Lee the bird may flee

The willow' golden hair

Then the wintry winds may be

Blowing ev'rywhere.

Chorus

Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 5

Yet if thy blue eyes I see

Gloom will soon depart

For to me sweet Aura Lee

Is sunshine to the heart.

Chorus

Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.
