[ merchant ]

[ alto sax: maceo parker/tenor sax: alfred "pee wee" ellis/trombone: fred wesley (together: the jb horns) ]

Times are far between, and few i bet, when we can look upon our lives without regret.
Of all the things i have done, you think i’m proud of everyone without exception?

‘till you make your peace with yesterday, you’ll never build a future.
I swear by what i say.
Whatever penance you do, decide what it’s worth to you and then respect it.
However long it will take to weather your mistakes, why not accept it?

My hands, for now, are tied.
I’m a body frozen.
I’m a will that’s paralyzed.
When will you ever set aside your pain and misery?
No matter how i beg, no matter how i wish or plead, you’ll never be more than alive.
You’ll never do more than survive until you expect it.
Do you want to build a world with our lives?
You better soon decide or you can forget it.

My hands, for now, are tied.
I’m a body frozen.
I’m a will that’s paralyzed.
‘till you drop that heavy baggage you’re dragging behind, there won’t be room for us to both go this ride.

Ever since I met you
Mama said I should forget you
She said you were a waste of my sweet time
I wish I would have listened
Because now I’m sitting here wishin’
I never did believe in your sweet lies
You said you were the king of love
And I would be your queen
How come the good times are so few and far between?
Every night you leave me
I’m telling you it ain’t been easy
Sitting here alone ‘til 4 AM
If this is love then I don’t want it
I’m gonna take this ring and pawn it
I’m walking out on you fast as I can
Ain’t you the one who promised me peaches and cream?
How come the good times are so few and far between?

Chorus:
Few and far between
The good times that I’ve seen when I’m with you
Few and far between
And baby I do believe
It’s time to pack up all my bags and hit the street
Few and far between

I got to find somebody
Who knows just how to love me
And baby I know for sure that it ain’t you
You said you were the king of love
And I would be your queen
How come the good times are so few and far between?

The last time that i saw you,
You were headed for the boarding gate,
And i knew that it would be a long wait,
I know i wasn’t always there sweet darling,
When you needed me by your side,
But when i was gone and you were home all alone,
Why did you have to run and hide?

Chorus:
Few and far between now baby,
You said you would always be mine.
Few and far between honey,
You do it to me every time.

You knew i’d come home looking for you now sugar,
But you would not even answer the phone,
Why did you insist on hurting me baby,
I sit here and i cry alone,
You know it ain’t the first time,
I’ve been there honey,
And i know it won’t be the last,
Rock riding mama don’t you treat me so mean,
Don’t you count me out so fast.

Chorus:
Few and far between now baby,
Why don’t you just tell me we are through?,
Few and far between honey,
I’m gonna catch up to you.

The last time i saw you,
You were headed for the boarding gate,
And i knew that it would be a long time,
For your love i’m gonna have to wait,
I know i wasn’t always there sweet darling,
When you need me by your side,
But when i was gone and you were home all alone,
Why did you have to run and hide?

Chorus:
Few and far between now baby,
You said that you would always be mine,
Few and far between now honey,
You do it to me every time.

Few and far between now baby,
Why don’t you just tell me were through,
Few and far between now honey,
I’m gonna catch up to you.
