Have a Little Faith is the fourteenth studio album by Joe Cocker, released in 1994.



After eight years and five studio albums (plus a live album and a best-of album) with Capitol Records, Joe Cocker moved to 550 Music, a new Sony Music imprint, for Have a Little Faith. Produced by Chris Lord-Alge and his manager, Roger Davies, Cocker turned in a label debut full of well-chosen songs sung with authority. The title track, John Hiatt's "Have a Little Faith in Me," was a good choice for Cocker, as it contained that mixture of tenderness and toughness the singer has always brought out so well. Unfortunately, the new label affiliation did nothing for Cocker; Have a Little Faith flopped.

William Ruhlmann - All Music Guide



John Hiatt's "Have a Little Faith in Me" is a terrific R&B ballad, but the author just doesn't have the pipes to do it justice. Joe Cocker has pipes to spare, and the British veteran makes the Hiatt song the centerpiece of this album. Chris Stainton, the singer's old pal from the "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" days, bangs out the hypnotic gospel piano chords, and Cocker builds the romantic hymn from a weary, whispery pleading to raspy, desperate wailing in a tour de force performance. In an era of singer-songwriters who are too often one or the other but not both, Have a Little Faith is a welcome testament to the place of the interpretive singer.

Geoffrey Himes - Amazon.com



John Hiatts "Have a Little Faith in Me" ist eine sagenhafte R&B-Ballade, aber der Komponist hat einfach nicht die Röhre, um ihr gerecht zu werden. Joe Cockers Röhre ist stark genug für zwei, und der britische Veteran macht den Hiatt-Song zum Glanzstück dieses Albums.
Chris Stainton, der alte Kumpel des Sängers aus den Mad Dogs & Englishmen-Tagen, haut dazu hypnotische Gospel-Piano-Akkorde raus, und Cockers "Tour de Force"-Interpretation treibt die romantische Hymne von einem müden, flüsternden Flehen zu einem krächzenden, verzweifelten Klagen. In einer Zeit, in der Singer/Songwriter meist nur eins von beidem, aber nicht beides gleichzeitig sind, ist "Have a Little Faith" ein willkommenes Vermächtnis an den Berufsstand der interpretierenden Sänger.

Let The Healing Begin

I've Kept It Inside Much To Long
There's No Relief
Carry It Around Just Like A Stone
Too Heavy For Me

I Had Paid The Price
Of Standing On The Outside Looking In

It's Time To Let The Healing Begin

A Boy Is Strung Out He's Going Through Hell
His Mother Weeps
His Spirit Is Broken And There's Nothing Left
Just A Terrible Need

And The Days Are Marked By The Heaviness Of The Heart
It Never Mends
Until The Healing Begins

And The Tension Prowls The Streets Like And Animal
The People Stay Behind Their Locks And Chains
It's A Shame
When So Many Are Trying Their Best To Live As One
And The Smoke Form The Fires Covers The Sun

A Young Girl Is Lying In The Dirt
Her Dreams Ended There
Caught In The Crossfire On Somebody's Turf
Hatred In The Air

It's A Voice That Never Sings
A Winter Without The Spring
It Never Ends
It's Time To Let The Healing Begin
It's Time To Let The Healing Begin


Have A Little Faith In Me

When The Road Gets Dark
And You Can No Longer See
Just Let My Love Throw A Spark
And Have A Little Faith In Me

And When The Tears You Cry
Are All You Can Believe
Give These Loving Arms A Try Baby
And Have A Little Faith In Me

Have A Little Faith In Me
Have A Little Faith In Me
Have A Little Faith In Me
Have A Little Faith In Me

When Your Secret Heart
Cannot Speak So Easily
Come Here Darling, From A Whisper Start
To Have A Little Faith In Me

And When Your Back's Against The Wall
Just Turn Around And You, You Will See
I Will Catch You, I Will Catch Your Fall Baby
Just Have A Little Faith In Me

Have A Little Faith In Me
Have A Little Faith In Me
Have A Little Faith In Me
Have A Little Faith In Me

Well I've Been Loving You For Such A Long Time Girl
Expecting Nothing In Return
Just For You To Have A Little Faith In Me
You See Time, Time Is Our Friend,
Cause For Us There Is No End,
And All You Gotta Do Is Have A Little Faith In Me,
I Said, I Will Hold You Up, I Will Hold You Up
Your Love Gives Me Strength Enough
So Have A Little Faith In Me
I Said.....
All You Gotta Do For Me Girl Is Have A Little Bit Of Faith In Me,
I Said... I Said... Hey!...

To Find Out What Its All About

We're Always Wanting More Than What We Have
What I've Learned, Is What I Really Need A

The Simple Things
That Come Without A Price
The Simple Things
Like Happiness Joy And Love In My Life
I've Seen It All From So Many Sides
And I Hope You Would Agree
The Best Things In Life

Summer In The City

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin' dirt and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity?
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around people looking half-dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a matchhead

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the nights
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city

Cool town, evenin' in the city
Dressed so fine and lookin' so pretty
Cool cat lookin' for a kitty
Gonna look in ev'ry corner of the city
'Til I'm weezin' at the bus stop
Runnin' up the stairs gonna meet ya on the roof-top

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on let's dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the nights
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city

(break)

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the nights
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city


The Great Divide

Nights are long
And the wind is howling down
Into the hollows
Somewhere deep inside
I can hear you calling out
Across the great divide

Right or wrong there's a feeling in my heart
I try to follow
But lately i just hide
And my dream of someday crawling out
To cross this great divide

Isolation
Heart like a drum
And the beating is wearing me down
Standing at the station
But the train never comes
Still I'm hanging on
Like some old ghost town

Miles to go but I see that one way out
Stars in the distance
Skies are open wide
Waiting for my soul to rise
Above this great divide

Desperation
Is a dangerous blade
In a reckless and trembling hand
Sweet salvation
Just a thin line away
I should cut and run
But I'll make my stand

Nights are long
But I'll close my eyes again
Until tomorrow
Slip the bonds and ride
Touch the face I long to see
Above this great divide
We'll be all We long to be
Beyound this great divide


Highway, Highway

The Circle Turns And The Seasons Change
Dogs Grow Old And In The Summer It Still Rains
But I Never Thought You And I Would Ever Be Apart

Babies Cry At Their Mothers Breast
And Sunday Morning Is Still A Day To Be Blessed
But What Can I Tell My Broken Heart

Highway, Highway
Where You Go I Don't Know
Maybe Closer To My Dreams, Maybe Far Away
Take Me Today

Highway, Highway
Give Me Wings To Fly
It's Gonna Be Hard Letting Go Of You
And Living Separate Lives

The Stars Aren't Diamonds And The Moons Not Blue
There's No Gold At The End Of The Rainbow
There's No Dream To Hold On To, Without You
The Only Thing That's Real Is This Lonely Road Tonight

Maybe A Change Would Be Good For Me
Who Knows Where This Road Might Lead

Highway, Highway
Where You Go I Don't Know
Maybe Closer To My Dreams, Maybe Far Away
Take Me Today

Highway, Highway
Give Me Wings To Fly
It's Gonna Be Hard Letting Go Of You
And Living Separate Lives

It's Gonna Be Hard Letting Go Of You
And Living Separate Lives


Too Cool

Its too late
It's too late for tears
Cause you know tonight one thing is clear
I could sit at home and cry
Useless as it is
Or I can try to love again

I'll be too cool
Too cool for words
Too cool, to ever get hurt, too cool
It's a lesson I've learned from you
You've got to be (cool)

So long to yesterday
Goodbye is the price you pay
You think that I was the fool
But baby, you broke all the rules
Not too (cool)

I'm all right, I'll soon be better
Cause you know
Heart aches don't last forever
You went and left me cold
Searching for somebody new
But you'll come home
And when you do

I'll be, too cool
Too cool for words
Too cool, to ever get hurt, too cool
It's a lesson I learned from you
Got to be cool

Too cool
Too cool for words

Got to be cool
Too cool


Soul Time

I feel life passing me by
A little more each day
We don't act out our love
In that old sweet and simple way

The world's got problems baby
We've got problems too
Why don't we work together
And see what we can do

Take a little soul time
Say what's weighing on our minds
Take a little soul time
There's no telling what we'll find
Let's love life and live it
Stop fighting and crying
Start hanging together
And reaching and trying
This time
Take a little soul time

There's still a place we can do
Inside you and me
To change our life as it is
Into life as it should be

Unless angels, baby
Answer if we call
All our hopes and dreams
They won't let us fall

Take a little soul time
Say what's weighing on our minds
Take a little soul time
There's no telling what we'll find
Let's love life and live it
Stop fighting and crying
Start hanging together
And reaching and trying
This time
Take a little soul time

We could be so fine, so fine
If we just lay it on the line this time

Take a little soul time
Say what's weighing on our minds
Take a little soul time
There's no telling what we'll find
Let's love life and live it
Stop fighting and crying
Start hanging together
And reaching and trying
This time
Take a little soul time


Out Of The Blue

Out of this world
Out of this mind
Out of this love for you
Out of this world
Out of the blue
Out of this love for you

Some times I don´t know you
You´re like someone else
But that´s alright
I´m a stranger here myself
She don´t shed a tear
When I walk out that door
Cause she knows,
She knows I´ll be coming back for more

Out of this world
Out of this mind
Out of this love for you
Out of this world
Out of the blue
Out of this love for you

It´s in the cards
It´s written in the stars
It´s in the wee, wee hours
It´s a lonely bar
But she don´t stay up all night
And walk the floor
Cause she knows dam well
I´ll be coming back for more

Out of this world
Out of this mind
Out of this love for you
Out of this world
Out of the blue
Out of this love for you


Angeline

You walked away
And I face another day alone
Angeline
There's no answer when I call
But somehow through it all I'm hanging on

I know I should have seen it coming
But it's hard to face the truth
And reality hits me in the race
I'm lost without you

Angeline

Lost in the sound of the city
Like a shadow in the rain
Memories come back to haunt me
And i still feel the pain

Some days are better than the others
But the nights remain
I sit and watch the dawn breaking
And I whisper your name

Angeline
How can I survive
Without you in my life anymore
Angeline
There's no much I want to say
And I've got to find a way to let you know

Words left unspoken
And hearts are broken in two

Try to gather up the pieces
Of these broken dreams
But good-bye echoes in this lonely room
Like a silent scream

Angeline
How can I give you up
When I still feel your touch on my skin
Angeline
Oh it tears me up inside
To know that I may never feel that way again

Angeline


Standing Knee Deep In A River

Friends I could count on
I could count on one hand
With a left over finger or two
I took them all slip away
Where they are I wish I knew

They roll by just like water
And I guess we never learn
Go through life parched and empty
Standing knee deep in a river dying of thirst

Sometimes I remember
Sweethearts I've known
Some I've forgotten I suppose
One or two still linger
Oh and I wonder now
Why I ever let them go

They roll by just like water
And I guess we never learn
Go through life parched and empty
Standing knee deep in a river dying of thirst

The sidewalk is crowded
The city rolls by
And I rush through another day
In a world full of strangers
Turn there eyes to me
And just look the other way

They roll by just like water
And I guess we never learn
Go through life parched and empty
Standing knee deep in a river dying of thirst


Take Me Home

Maybe we're standing on the threshold
With our eyes open wide
Let the river keep on flowing
We can reach the other side
Caught in this endless revolution
Under helicopter skies
To lose becomes unthinkable
And to win is the only road now

There's a bridge over the water
I can see it like a rainbow
If you love me I'll be waiting
Take me home to the other side

All the men and all the women
Who sacrifice their love
Never taste what we took for granted
No they don't know love at all
Some of them broken some of them wounded
And so cynical from the pain
I was quiet as a grave yard
Till you heard me caling out your name

There's a bridge over the water
I can see it like a rainbow
If you love me I'll be waiting
Take me home to the other side

Life was victorious
Now it can't be denied
We'll stand together
Cause love is on our side

There's a bridge over the water
I can see it like a rainbow
If you love me I'll be waiting
Take me home to the other side
