Lyrics Hollies Tribute Medley - Liquid Blue

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where?
Who knows where?
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

So on we go
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

If I could make a wish
I think I'd pass
Can't think of anythin' I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no lights, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read

Making love with you
Has left me peaceful, warm, and tired
What more could I ask?
There's nothing left to be desired
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angels
Go to sleep

Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sittin' in a nest of bad men
Whiskey bottles piling high

Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman sing a song

A pair of 45's made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
With a 5'9", beautiful soul
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all

I saw her heading to the table
Like a tall walking big black cat
When Charlie said, "I hope that you're able
'Cause I'm telling you, she knows where it's at"
When someone yelled, we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run
A-jumping on the bars and tables
Then I heard somebody shootin' a gun

Well, the DA was pumping my left hand
And a-she was a-holding my right
Well, I told her, "Don't get scared
'Cause you're gonna be spared"
I've gotta be forgiven if I wanna spend my living

With a long cool woman in a black dress
With a 5'9", beautiful soul
With just one look, I was a bad mess
But that long cool woman had it all
Had it all, had it all, had it all
