Time rise time fall
Time leaves you nothing, nothing at all
Words, just words don't know
Words take you nowhere, nowhere to go, to go
Back, I'm going back

Well, I left my happy home
to see what I could find out.
I left my folk and friends
with the aim to clear my mind out.
Well I hit the rowdy road
and many kinds I met there,
many stories told me
of the way to get there, ooh.
So on and on I go,
the seconds tick the time out,
there's so much left to know,
and I'm on the road to findout, ooh.
Well in the end I'll know,
but on the way I wonder
through descending snow,
and through the frost and thunder,
I listen to the wind come howl,
telling me I have to hurry.
I listen to the robin's song
saying not to worry, ooh.
So on and on I go,
the seconds tick the time out,
there's so much left to know,
and I'm on the road to findout, ooh.
Then I found myself alone,
hoping someone would miss me.
Thinking about my home,
and the last woman to kiss me, kiss me.
But some times you have to moan
when nothing seems to suit yer,
but nevertheless you know
you've locked the door towards the future, ooh.
So on and on you go,
the seconds tick the time out.
There's so much left to know,
and I'm on the road to findout, ooh.
Then I found my head one day
when I wasn't even trying,
and here I have to say,
'cause there is no case in lying, lying.
Yes the answer lies within,
so why not take a look now,
kick out the devil's sin,
pick up, pick up a good book now, ooh.
Yes the answer lies within,
so why not take a look now
kick out the devil's sin,

Ruby be my love
You'll be my love
You'll be my sky above
Who'll be my light?
You'll be my light
You'll be my day and night
You'll be mine tonight
Aah aah, aah aah
Aah aah, aah
Aah aah aah aah, aah
Aah aah, aah
Aah aah aah aah, aah
Ruby glikya
Ela xana, ela xana konda mou

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh
Aah aah, aah aah
Aah aah aah aah, aah
Ruby my love
You'll be my love
You'll be my sky above
Ruby my light
You'll be my light
You'll be my day and night
You'll be mine tonight
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh

Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world
Sweet the rains new fall, sunlit from Heaven
Like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning

Stevens
I'm being followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow moon shadow
Leaping and hopping on a moon shadow
Moon shadow moon shadow
And if I ever lost my hands
Lose my plough, lose my land
Oh, if I ever lose my hands- Oh, if...
I wont have to work no more
And if I ever lose my eyes
If my colours all run dry
And if I ever lose my eyes - Oh,
I won't have to cry no more
Yes, I'm being followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow moon shadow
Leaping and hopping on a moonshadow
Moon shadow moon shadow
And if I ever lose my legs
I won't moan and I won't beg
Oh if I ever lose my legs- Oh if...
I won't have to walk no more
And if I ever lose my mouth
All my teeth, north and south
Yes, if I ever lose my mouth- Oh if...
I won't have to talk...
Did it take long to find me
I ask the faithful light
Did it take long to find me
And are you going to stay the night
I'm being followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow moon shadow
Moon shadow moon shadow

I gave my last chance to you
Don't hand it back to me bitterblue
No bitterblue
Yes, I've done all one man can do
Don't pass me up oh bitterblue
My bitterblue
Yes, I've been running a long time
On this travelling ground
Wishing hard to be free
Of going round and round
Yeah, yes I've been moving a long time
But only up and down
I gave my last hope to you
Don't hand it back to me bitterblue
My bitterblue
I've done all one man can do
Please help me lose this bitterblue
My bitterblue
'Cause I've been waiting a long time
Aeons been and gone
Looking at the horizon
For my light to dawn
Oh yes I've been living a long time
Looking on and on
I've been running a long time
Summers come and gone
Oh, drifting under the dream clouds
Past the broken sun
Oh yes I've been living a long time
To be back beyond
I gave my last chance to you
Don't hand it back bitterblue
Oh, my bitterblue
I've done all one man can do
Don't pass me up oh, bitterblue
My bitterblue, oh my bitterblue
Yeah, my bitterblue, oh my bitterblue
Oh bitterblue, yeah
I gave my last chance to you

Bring tea for the tillerman, steak for the sun
Wine for the women who made the rain come
Seagulls sing your hearts away
'Cause while the sinners sin, the children play
Oh Lord, how they play and play

I built my house from barley rice
Green pepper walls and water ice
Tables of paper wood, windows of light
And everything emptying into white
A simple garden with acres of sky
A brown haired dogmouse if one dropped by
Yellow Delanie would sleep well at night
With everything emptying into white
A sad blue eyed drummer rehearses outside
A black spider dancing on top of his eye
Red legged chicken stands ready to strike
And everything emptying into white
I built my house from barley rice
Green pepper walls and water ice

[Instrumental]

One is the ever blazing star
Sword of the immortal world
And highest light
Yes, this is our star
Our star is ever rising
Born of the eternal lamp and holy fire
Mighty burning mountain
The everlasting love of one is
One is, one is, one is, one is, one is
One is the ever kindling star
King of the immortal spark in Heaven's eye
Yes, this is our star
Yes, this is our star

Oh the trees grow higher than the mountains
In the land of free love and goodbye
The river's ever flowing, fishing growing
And the God I love loves me.
In the sky rides a gleam of white horses
And the glimmer clean in your eye
The bird of dawn is bringing
The simpleness of singing
And the God I love loves me.
Oh the trees grow higher than the mountains
In the land of free love and goodbye
The river's ever flowing, fishing growing
And the God I love loves me.
And the Sun lies all around
And everything is as it must be
And winter lies underground

Well, I ain't got nothing but it don't worry me
I came to this life like a free-walking tree
No need to be tied, no need to be
They call me Jzero
Well, I ain't got nothing and to nothing I belong
You won't find me right, yet you won't find me wrong
If you think about me don't think too long
Just call me Jzero
Well, I don't house no past, never carried a key
A sun doesn't rise from under the sea
There is only one morning eternally
Well, he says he hasn't got nothing
But he seems to possess less
He waltzed through the door like a tap dance with death
What kind of fool is he? No need to guess
Just call me Jzero
Well, I don't eat a lot, I do work for nothing so
If there's a job I can fill the gap
I don't need a room, a bed or a pillow, oh
Once you've decided to trust me with time
You won't need to look back
Well, I ain't got nothing but it don't worry me
I came to this life like a free-walking tree
No need to be tied, no need to be

You've got to learn to brighten up your ways
Kick out your dull padded life
There's much to know, and no doors in space
They were only mirrors, you imagined in your mind
Now that you've got no place to go
And you stand alone
Know that there's just one place to be
And it's in your soul, oh
Like drywood takes to fire, the truth will come to you
Like streams that seek the ocean, they will find ways through
Like morning meets the moon, my love will guide the way
It's time to wipe your eyes now and awake
I've come to take you over, there's much for you to do
I've come to take you over, then it's up to you, oh
Be like the light in the shadows
Throw down your mask and be real
Don't wish to win and don't mind to lose
That was just a cycle like a squirrel in a wheel
Now that you've got no place to look
And you stand alone
Know that's there's just one place to be
And it is your home
Like fish that seek the water, the truth will come to you
Like leaves upon the soil, they will find ways through
Like flowers seek the sun, my love will guide the way
It's time to wipe your eyes now and awake, oh
You say you're really with me but you only follow me around
How much you love me, yes
But I don't want the kind of love
I have to sit down and count
You think you're free and lucky but you're stuck behind a prison wall
How well you know yourself
But I see something else within you
That you don't see at all
You may give up your number, disowning all your wealth
You may sell all the pieces, but you'll
Never never never give up yourself
Never never never give up yourself
Like drywood takes to fire, the truth will come to you
Like streams that seek the ocean, they will find ways through
Like morning meets the night's stars, my love will guide the way
It's time to wipe your eyes now and awake
I've come to take you over, there's much for you to do

Slowly let me tell you a story of a tree
an apple tree,
Once in a summertime garden lived a little apple tree
and the man who owned it wanted it to be picked
so he sent forth to hire me
Well, I've travelled the mountains, and I've travelled the sea
but a never in my travelling days
have I ever seen a little apple smile at me!
Laugh, oh laugh a little apple
Autumn is waitin', you'd better be careful,
For it will bring you down
if it ever sees you wearing a frown
so laugh, laugh a little apple
Well all the apples were hidin'
Frightened that they might be plucked
and everytime that somebody passed
all except that one little apple ducked
Well, I've travelled the mountains, and i've travelled the sea
but a never in my travelling days
have I ever seen a little apple smile at me!
Laugh, oh laugh a little apple
Autumn is waitin', you'd better be careful,
For it will bring you down
if it ever sees you wearing a frown
so laugh, laugh a little apple

Baby, you're cool
And even though you've never been to school
I know you're fine
but then you change your mind
Then you start on driftin'
and fall on behind
You've been my girl
You've been mine
all of the time
A bad night
its gonna be
A bad night
I guarantee
tonight I'll have
A bad night
I know I shall
ah, 'cause you left me waiting in the corner
and i know you're never gonna come back for me
and though you said you loved me
and said you needed all of my love
a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad night
its gonna be
A bad night
it's gonna be
A bad night
I guarantee
tonight I'll have
A bad night
I know I shall
Maybe if the weather was just a little better
it might not have happened that way
but the situation was gettin' pretty bad, bad
A bad bad bad bad bad night it's gonna be
A bad night
it's gonna be
A bad night
I guarantee
tonight I'll have
A bad night
I know I shall

There is a wind, my Billy, and it's awful strong
Come for you, and anyone who's helped you along.
But I want to live, live, live and let the stars shine bright
yes, I want to live, live, live and let it on alright
And when that bird sings from over that silver wall
I don't want to fight it, Billy, 'cause i want to go
There's a Northern wind, Billy, blowin' up a southern change
and a Northern wind really makin' me feel kinda strange
there's a Northern wind, Billy, blowin' up a southern change
and a Northern wind really makin' me feel kinda strange
And with this gun goes everything I want to say
Not for you, but for anyone who takes it away
Let it fill his life, life, life until there's nothing left
Let it kill his wife, wife, wife until he goes to bed
And when that bird sings from over that silver wall
I don't want to fight it, Billy, 'cause I want to go
There's a Northern wind, Billy, blowin' up a southern change
and a Northern wind really makin' me feel kinda strange
there's a Northern wind, Billy, blowin' up a southern change
and a Northern wind really makin' me feel kinda strange

Well, first I have to tell you that I'm not insane
And that once I was a famous archaeologist named
Who ran a recent expedition in a distant land
I just happened to passion' my hand in the sand
And then I stopped, looked and then I was hooked
I saw a flash, then a sparkle from a moonstone
Then the mist started, started to clear
I saw a face, a face in the moonstone
Then it started to disappear
Well, I walked and walked and never talked for many days
And without a friend the desert is a lonely place
I was just about to turn around and make way home
When something told me that I had to see it again
And then I stopped, looked and then I was hooked
I saw a flash, then a sparkle from a moonstone
Then the mist started, started to clear
I saw a face, a face in the moonstone
Then it started to disappear
Avuray
Avuray
Avuray
I saw a flash, then a sparkle from a moonstone
Then the mist started, started to clear
I saw a face, a face in the moonstone
Then it started to disappear
And then it started to disappear

Lovely city, when do you laugh?
Stoney people, what do you have?
Well, you ride around on a bright shiny cloud
and you think that you've found true happiness
there's no method in your mind
and your tempers are kind
is it too much to ask to give it a rest?
Lovely city, when do you laugh?
Stoney people , what do you have?
I'm a part of you, you don't wanna be
I'm an unexpected visitor who's dropped in for tea
but I'm not so low you don't even know that I'm here
You can't even see
Lovely city, when do you laugh?

But it won't be lonely for long
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm so sleepy, yeah
I'm so sleepy, yeah
I could lay my head on a piece of lead
and imagine it was a springy bed
'cause I'm sleepy, sleepy
soon I'm gonna slip away
in the night I feel it creeping, creeping, creeping
I'm so sleepy yeah
I'm so sleepy yeah
I could lay my head on a piece of lead

I've been pushed around
made to look a clown
but now, now I know
it is time for me to start to grow
I'm gonna be king
I'm gonna see things right
I'm gonna be king
and you will be my bride
I'll show everyone
that my time will come
If you wait for me
I will show the world what I can be
I'm gonna be king
I'm gonna see things right
I'm gonna be king
and you will be my bride
Love does funny things
and to me it brings
strength to carry through
and to make my name a pride to use
I'm gonna be king
I'm gonna see things right
I'm gonna be king

While lookin' into my drawer only yesterday
you know, the things that I saw made me cry
I saw the pictures and letters,
I should have known better
than to try to deny
I love them all
I love them all
and if they came again
I'd do the same again
'cause I'm that kind of a guy
And as I walked through the park where we used to play
you know, the bench and the tree are still there
And the pictures that you did,
why am I so stupid?
They wont ever disappear
I love them all
I love them all
and if they came again
I'd do the same again

Well here comes my wife
and that's the story of my life
she haunts me though she don't want me
She follows badly in disguise
but it's not hard to recognize her 'cause she's cryin'
She looks like dyin' on me
Her father's rich, I think a millionaire
but money doesn't make him better
it just makes him better to be there
So, you can tell him that its quite alright with me
no no, it's quite alright with me
Well here comes my wife
and that's the story of my life
she haunts me though she don't want me
She follows badly in disguise
but it's not hard to recognize her 'cause she's cryin'
she looks like dyin' on me
See that shadow dancin' on the floor
She's coming up behind me
How I'd love to tell her she's a bore,
but I tell her that it's quite alright, no no, it's quite alright with me
Well here comes my wife
and that's the story of my life
she haunts me though she don't want me
She follows badly in disguise
but it's not hard to recognize her 'cause she's cryin'
she looks like dyin' on me.....
oooh oohh

In the blackness of the night
I seem to wander endlessly
with a hope burning out deep inside
I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out
For this bad, bad world I'm beginning to doubt
I'm alone and there is no one by my side
In the blackness of the night
I see a shadow passing by
from the heels of an old soldier boy.
There's no comprimising
and his eyes are black as the sky
For this bad, bad world he is going to die.
He's alone and there is no one by his side
In the blackness of the night
I see a sparkle of a star
from the sweet silver tear of a child
and she's clutching at a photograph of long, long ago
When her parents were happy she was too young to know
she's alone and there is no one by her side
I'm alone and there is no one by my side
In the blackness of the night
I seem to wander endlessly
with a hope burning out deep inside
I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out
For this bad, bad world I'm beginning to doubt

I used to trust nobody, trusting even less their words
Until I found somebody, there was no one I preferred
My heart was made of stone, my eyes saw only misty gray
Until you came into my life girl, I saw everyone that way
Until I found the one I needed at my side
I think I would have been a sad man all my life
I think I see the light coming to me
Coming through me, giving me a second sight
So shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
I used to walk alone, every step seemed the same
This world was not my home, so there was nothing much to gain
Look up and see the clouds, look down and see the cold floor
Until you came into my life girl, I saw nothing, nothing more
Until I found the one I needed at my side
I think I would have been a sad man all my life
I think I see the light coming to me
Coming through me, giving me a second sight
So shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
I think I see the light coming to me
Coming through me, giving me a second sight
So shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine

And in the morning when you fill my eyes
I knew that day I couldn't do,
Ahh, no wrong, I couldn't do.
And so my mind begins to memorize
'Cause time will never seem the same,
Ahh, no more, never again.
I'm just a coaster but my wheels won't go,
My legs are weak my heels are low.
I'm just a coaster but my wheels won't roll.
Can't make no headway on this road.
There's an empty space inside me now,
A wasteland deep beneath the snow,
So cold, nothing'll grow.
I'm just a coaster but my wheels won't go,
My legs are weak my heels are low.
I'm just a coaster but my wheels won't roll.
Can't make no headway on this road. What road?
And in the morning when you fill my eyes
I knew that day I couldn't do,

I see a road and I want to go home,
I want to go home, my baby will be waitin' there
With a yellow ribbon in her hair
And I know that she won't disappear cuz she loves me
Too much
I see a road and I want to go home,
I want to go home, my baby will be gettin' old
And I want to make sure she's not cold
Yes, I want to make sure she's not cold cuz I love her
Too much
Where silk music plays out in the country out of the way
We'll make love, yeah, under the blue sky above
And we'll be riding on top of the world
I see a road and I want to go home,
I want to go home, my baby will be waitin' there
With a yellow ribbon in her hair
And I know that she won't disappear cuz she loves me
Too much
I see a road and I want to go home....

When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
They tell me to leave you, leave you behind
They tell my to leave you, just get you out of my mind.
They tell me to leave you, leave you behind
Ow, forget all the good times, that are making me blind.
I know you run around and you'll never settle down
And I should quit while I'm still on top
but when you hold me baby in your lovin' arms
I could love you forever baby, but
When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
They tell me to leave you, leave you behind
They tell my to leave you, just get you out of my mind.
They tell me to leave you, just leave you behind
Ow, forget all the good times, that are making me blind.

It's gonna be the best day, the best day of our lives.
We're coming out of school today...baby...

Getting hung up all day on smiles
Walking down portobello road for miles
Greeting strangers in indian boots,
yellow ties and old brown suits
Growing old is my only danger
Cuckoo clocks, and plastic socks
Lampshades of old antique leather
Nothing looks weird, not even a beard
or the boots made out of feathers
I'll keep walking miles til I feel
a broom beneath my feet
or the hawking eyes of an old stuffed bull across the street
Nothings the same if you see it again
it'll be broken down to litter
Oh, and the clothes
everyone know that that dress will never fit her
Getting hung up all day on smiles
Walking down portobello road for miles
Greeting strangers in indian boots,
yellow ties and old brown suits
Growing old is my only danger
Cuckoo clocks, and plastic socks
Lampshades of old antique leather
Nothing looks weird, not even a beard
or the boots made out of feathers
I'll keep walking miles til I feel
a broom beneath my feet
or the hawking eyes of an old stuffed bull across the street
Nothing's the same if you see it again
It'll be broken down to litter
Oh, and the clothes
everyone know that that dress will never fit her
Getting hung up all day on smiles
Walking down portobello road for miles
Greeting strangers in indian boots,
yellow ties and old brown suits
Growing old is my only danger

Up at eight, you can't be late
for Matthew & Son, he won't wait.
Watch them run down to platform one
And the eight-thirty train to Matthew & Son.
Matthew & Son, the work's never done, there's always something new.
The files in your head, you take them to bed, you're never ever through.
And they've been working all day, all day, all day!
There's a five minute break and that's all you take,
for a cup of cold coffee and a piece of cake.
Matthew & Son, the work's never done, there's always something new.
The files in your head, you take them to bed, you're never ever through.
And they've been working all day, all day, all day!
He's got people who've been working for fifty years
No one asks for more money cuz nobody cares
Even though they're pretty low and their rent's in arrears
Matthew & Son, Matthew & Son, Matthew & Son, Matthew & Son,
And they've been working all day, all day, all day!

I've been demoralized too many times
But now I realize, Ah ah, no more.
I'm gonna get me a gun
I'm gonna get me a gun
And all those people who put me down
You better get ready to run,
Cuz I'm gonna get me a gun
I know my destiny is like the sun
You see the best of me when I have got my gun
I'm gonna get me a gun
I'm gonna get me a gun
And all those people who put me down
You better get ready to run,
Cuz I'm gonna get me a gun
So you think you can push me around
And make me run
Well I'm gonna tell you now
I'm gonna get me a gun
I'm gonna get me a gun
And all those people who put me down
You better get ready to run,
Cuz I'm gonna get me a gun
Gonna get me a gun...

In the midnight moonlight I'll be walking a long and lonely mile.
And every time I do, I keep seeing this picture of you.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.
You never walk alone, and you're forever talking on the phone.
I've tried to call you names, but every time it comes out the same.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.
I'm still waiting for your heart, cuz I'm sure that some day it's gonna start.
You'll be mine to hold each day, but 'til then this is all that I can say.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.

I take you out all over town
but you always start sittin' down
You never move, baby whats wrong with me?
when we go dancin', you're just there like a tree
Baby come on and dance, you're holding me back
I've gotta get out this feeling, before I go mad
You gotta let me in, the music's getting me now
You gotta come on and dance, stop hangin' around
I don't care if you twist or jive, just as long as you're lookin' alive
you'll make me glad, baby you'll make me rise,
I wanna see that twinkle in your eyes
Baby come on and dance, you're holding me back
I've gotta get out this feeling, before I go mad
You gotta let me in, the music's getting me now
You gotta come on and dance, stop hangin' around

Well if you're feelin' low, take it slow
Baby get your head screwed on
I know he's left, but don't be depressed
Baby let your {favorite?} daddy see you through
Oh baby you'll be out of your mind,
Baby you'll be out of your mind,
Baby you'll be out of your mind.
You know you're nice, you're sugar and spice
And I know what you're going through
And if you're hot HOT, and even if you're not
Baby let your {favorite?} daddy see you through
Oh baby you'll be out of your mind,
Baby you'll be out of your mind,
Baby you'll be out of your mind.
You were so neat, ever so sweet,
And overnight you've seemed to change
Since you kissed your psychiatrist
Baby, you've never been the same.
Well if you're feelin' low, take it slow
Baby get your head screwed on
I know he's left, but don't be depressed
Baby let your favorite daddy see you through
Oh baby you'll be out of your mind,
Baby you'll be out of your mind,
Baby you'll be out of your mind.

[Instrumental]

Other people come and go
They try to make it through
I have to smile and tell them no
Cause I only care for you
I only care for you
Yes, you are my sweet, sweet Jamaica
Country mama, brown country girl
When you touch me I, I feel so tall
If you let me down boy I'd be so small
Yes, you are my sweet Jamaica
Country mama, brown country girl
Everybody needs a friend
To brighten up their world
I know you'll never let me down
Cause you're not that kind of girl, no no no
I want to see you round every turn
You're my world far as I'm concerned
Got no time to runabout
Just Want to spend my life out with you, only you
Yes, you are my sweet, sweet Jamaica,
Country mama, brown country girl
Oh, yes you are

[Instrumental]

I was a child
Who ran full of laughter
I was a child who lived for today
My eyes full of sunshine
My heart full of smiles
I was a child for a day
We were the children
Who sang in the morning
We were the children
Who laughed at the sun
Who listened to those who spoke with their wisdom
We are the ones we would say, but
We're getting older as time goes by
A little older with everyday
We were the children of yesterday
We are the men who worry of nothing
We are the men who fight without aim
We listen to no one, yet speak of our wisdom
We are the pawns in the game
We're getting older as time goes by
A little older with everyday
We were the children of yesterday
I was a child
Who ran full of laughter
I was a child who lived for today
My eyes full of sunshine
My heart full of smiles
I was a child for a day
We're getting older as time goes by
A little older with everyday

I can't budge baby, I can't move
Without your love to guide me
I don't know honey that's the truth
What laid you down beside me, yeah, yeah
Heat me with your love, oh
Your lips were meant for mine
Nobody else can bake me like a
No no no, like a bonfire
Your love is like a bonfire
Burning deep within me
Now some folks said
"It's no good to smoke in bed
But I just turn off my ears and
I jump into the fire again"
I feel so weak, yeah, I can't sleep
Without you there to hold me
Promise me you won't ever leave
Or I would die so coldly, yeah, yeah
Kiss me with your eyes, oh
Please don't let it rain
Don't kick no dust
On my bonfire
Your love is like a bonfire
Burning deep within me
Now it just grows, no matter
Where the wind blows
Yeah, but since you
Touched me I can't hide it
I've been so delighted with you
Yeah, yeah
Oh, heat me with your love
You opened up my heart
I just can't live without you
Oh, I just couldn't live another day
Your my bonfire
Your love is like a bonfire
Burning deep within me
Now some folks said
"It's no good to smoke in bed
But I just take off my clothes
And I jump into the fire again

Remember the days of the old schoolyard
We used to laugh a lot, oh don't you?
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
When we had imaginings and we had
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
We used to cry a lot, oh don't you?
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
When we had simplicity and we had
Warm toast for tea and we laughed
And needed love, yes, I do
Oh and I remember you
You were my sweet love, my first sweet love
My lovey dove my love, lovey dove
No matter what place, whichever the place
I still see your face, your smiling face
In childish dreams, inside my dreams
Like King and Queen, God save our dreams
N'though time may face, though time may fade
It ain't never too late to learn about love
Learn about love
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
We used to laugh a lot, oh don't you?
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
When we had imaginings and we had
All kinds of things and we laughed
And needed love, yes, I do
Oh and I remember you
All kinds of things and we laughed
And needed love, yes, I do
Oh and I remember you
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
We used to cry a lot, oh don't you?
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
When we had simplicity and we had
Warm toast for tea and we laughed
And needed love, yes, I do
Oh and I remember you
You were my sweet love, my first sweet love
My lovey dove my love, lovey dove
No matter what place, whichever the place
I still see your face, your smiling face
In childish dreams, inside my dreams
Like King and Queen, God save our dreams
N'though time may face, though time may fade
It ain't never too late to learn about love
Learn about love
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
We used to laugh a lot, oh don't you?
Remember the days of the old schoolyard

All kinds of things and we laughed
And needed love, yes, I do

Trouble oh trouble set me free
I have seen your face
And it's too much for me
Trouble oh trouble can't you see
You're eating my heart away
And there's nothing left of me
I've drunk your wine
You have made your world mine
So won't you be fair
So won't you be fair
I don't want no more of you
So won't you be kind to me
Just let me go where
I have to go there
Trouble oh trouble move away
I have seen your face
And it's too much for me today
Trouble oh trouble can't you see
You have made me a wreck
Now won't you leave me in my misery
I have seen you eyes
And I can see deaths disguise
Hanging on me
Hanging on me
I'm beat I'm torn
Shattered and tossed and worn
Too shocking to see
Too shocking to see
Trouble oh trouble move from me
I have paid my debt now
Won't you leave me in my misery
Trouble oh trouble please be kind
Don't wan't no fight

You say you want to seek the truth
But it's hard to find, no one to help you
Your friends don't have the time
So you ride around in your car
Switch on the radio, you want to relate to
Something you once read in a book
What kind of a way to try to take a look
Until I got hurt I was looking, I was on my way
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I painted my face gray
Until I got hurt, till got hurt, why didn't I, I didn't think of this
Until I got hurt, till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know' what love is
You say you want to learn to laugh
'Cause music makes you cry
But the tears you shed are only in your eye
So you turn to any phony mouth
With a tale to tell but he's just a hoaxer
Don't you know selling peace and religion
Between his jokes and his karma chewing gum
Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was the same as you
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I did not know what to do
Until I got hurt, till I got hurt, why didn't I, I didn't think of this
Until I got hurt, till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is
Young son, don't let me down, young son
I'm trusting you to keep on, never turn away now
Hold on, never let go, now hold on
Turn your heart to the bright sun
Love will come your way
'Cause till you make that final show
You'll never know what love
You've been missing, missing
You say you want to seek the truth
But you work alone, no one to help you
And nobody to push you on
So you sit at home drinking your wine
Television on, you wait for a miracle
'Cause you say one day one will come along
But wishful thinking, boy any minute now you might be gone
I'd like to help you brother but that would be wrong
So until I got hurt, I was looking, I was on my way
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I didn't know which way
Until I got hurt, till I got hurt, why didn't I, I didn't think of this
Until I got hurt, till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is, oh no

Wherever I am girl, I'm always walking with you

It always ends up to one thing, honey,
when I look and you're not there

and -- each night and day I pray, in hope
that I might find you, in hope that I might
find you, because heart's can do no more

I long to tell you that I'm always thinking of you
I'm always thinking of you....
It always ends up to one thing honey
and I can't think of right words to say

I was seventeen, ou were working for
Matthew and Son,
(The) Beatles me the Queen, and I wrote
I'm gonna get me a gun, yeah, yeah
It was like a dream in the star machine,
oh, no, izitso, izitso?
I never wanted to be a star, I never wanted
to travel far
I only wanted a little bit of love
So I could put a little love in my heart
I never wanted to be la-de-da, go to parties
'avec le bourgeois'
I only wanted to sing my song well,
So I could ring a small bell in your heart
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I was on the road, sleeping between lorry
lights, oh no
Stone-drunk and cold, heading into a bad
night, yeah, yeah
Just another bean in the star machine, hi ho,
here I go, here I go
I never wanted to be a star buy my mum a
Ferrari car
I only wanted to run my own race,
So I could win a small place in your heart
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Nature found a way, it picked me up off the
dark side, yeah, yeah
Showed me another day, it made me sing
'I think I see the light'
Not another bean in the star machine, oh no,
this time I won't go
I never wanted to be a star, I never wanted to travel far
I only wanted a little bit of love
So I could put a little love in my heart.

A gardener's daughter stopped me on my way, on the day I was
to wed
It is you who I wish to share my body with she said
We'll find a dry place under the sky with a flower for a bed
And for my joy I will give you a boy with a moon and
star on his head.
Her silver hair flowed in the air laying waves across the sun
Her hands were like the white sands, and her eyes had
diamonds on.
We left the road and headed up to the top of the
Whisper Wood
And we walked 'till we came to where the holy magnolia stood.
And there we laid cool in the shade singing songs and
making love...
With the naked earth beneath us and the universe above.
The time was late my wedding wouldn't wait I was sad but
I had to go,
So while she was asleep I kissed her cheek for cheerio.
The wedding took place and people came from many
miles around
There was plenty merriment, cider and wine abound
But out of all that I recall I remembered the girl I met
'Cause she had given me something that my hear could not
forget.
A year had passed and everything was just as it was a year
before...
As if was a year before...
Until the gift that someone left, a basket by my door.
And in there lay the fairest little baby crying to be fed,
I got down on my knees and kissed the moon and star on
his head.
As years went by the boy grew high and the village looked
on in awe
They'd never seen anything like the boy with the moon and
star before.
And people would ride from far and wide just to seek the
word he spread
I'll tell you everything I've learned, and Love is all...he said.

Silent sunlight, welcome in
There is work I must now begin
All my dreams have blown away
And the children wait to play
They'll soon remember things to do
When the heart is young
And the night is done
And the sky is blue
Morning song birds sing away
Lend a tune to another day
Bring your wings and choose a roof
Sing a song of love and truth
We'll soon remember if you do
When all things were tall
And our friends were small
And the world was new
Sleepy horses heave away
Put your backs to the golden hay
Don't ever look behind at the work you've done
For your work has just begun
There'll be the evening in the end
But till that time arrives
You can rest your eyes

She moves like an angel
And seven evening stars
Dance through the windows
Of her universal house
Of her universal house
Her voice, a crystal echo
Lies humming in your soul
So patiently awaiting
For your ears to behold
For your ears to behold
She ripples on the water
Leaves diamonds on the shore
And fish from every distance
Watch her ocean cellar door
Her breath, a warm fire
In every lovers heart
A mistress to magicians
And a dancer to the Gods
And a dancer to the Gods
Her clothes are made of rainbows
And twenty thousand tears
Shine through the spaces
Of her golden ocher hair
Yes, of her golden ocher hair
My babe, I want you
And on my life, I swear
My conscience will follow you forever
If you meet me everywhere
Yes, if you meet me everywhere
She moves like an angel
And seven evening stars
Dance through the windows
Of her universal house
Yes, of her universal house

Well I rode a while, for a mile or so
Down the road to the eighteenth avenue
And the people I saw were the people I know
And they all came down to take a view
Oh the path was dark and borderless
Down the road to the eighteenth avenue
And it stung my tongue to repeat the words
That I used to use only yesterday
Meanings just dropped to the ground
I tried to remember what I thought
And what I used to say
";Don't let me go down"; no don't let me go
Oh my hands were tied as I struggled inside
The empty waste of another day
Memories were blank to my eyes
The fire and the glory of that night
Seemed safely locked away
Too hungry to rise. Too hungry to
Well I rode a while, for a mile or so
Down the road to the eighteenth avenue
And the people I saw were the people I know
And they all came down to take a view
Oh the path was dark and borderless
Down the road to the eighteenth avenue
But my head felt better as I turned the car
And the airport slowly came to view
One mile said the sign
Checked my bags and made it straight to end gate 22

Sun is the reason
And the world it will bloom
Cause sun lights the sky
And the sun lights the moon
Sun is the reason
All the happy trees are green
Then who can explain
The light in your dream
Sit you down
Sit you down young gentleman
There's something I want you to know
You keep on asking me
You keep on asking me why
Why are we here?
It started a long time ago
Me and your mum on the night
Yeh Yeh Yeh ..we met
I was on the road again
She was in C79
Ill never never forget
Ill never forget that night no..
We met in a back road
Behind the stage
She had the best figure by far
Huh a thousand hours I've looked at her eyes but I
Still dont know what color they are
Me & your mum on the night
Oh Lord. We met
I was on the road again
She was in C79
She was a junkie then
And I was having a good time
Back on the road again
Oh momma I was on the road again
Back in suite 79
Ill never never forget
Ill never forget that time
Back on the road again
Oh Im travelling that line
I was a pop star then

Jesus
They used to call him Jesus
long time ago
hey´re still calling him Jesus
Don´t you know
They crossed the wood and hanged him
A long time ago
They still misu´nderstand him
Those who don´t know
And in theevening his love will lead the blind
In every secret corner there in your mind
They called him Gautama Buddha
Oh long time ago
He turned the world to order
Don´t you know
He used to sit knowingOh long time ago
Where you and me were going

Come the morning, I'll be far from here
Slowly rising in another sphere
Old world goodbye
'Cause I'll be home in the sky in the morning, bye bye
Stars are crying over my old house
But I'm still breathing happy above the clouds
Oh home, home at last
Because all of the bad times are past, past
Music is a lady that I still love
'Cause she gives me the air that I breathe
Music is a lady that I still need
'Cause she brings me the food that I eat
Come the morning, I'll be far from here
Slowly rising in another sphere
Home, world goodbye
'Cause I'll be home in the sky in the morning

Come on let's go down
Everybody's waiting for us down at the ghost town
Bill Bailey said he'd be around
If Mrs. G. Robinson would just put that bad Havana down
Lovely Queen Anne Boleyn
Learning new tricks
From the Great Houdini
And that's the way she's gonna make it
Come on, come on let's go down
Everybody's waiting for us down at the boom town
O. Redding an' Washington
Chico an' Harpo an' Karl are in the kitchen with mum
Buster Keaton and King Tut
Are waiting for Disney to wake up
Now that's the way

Oh, don't say those same idle lies
I've heard them before
Oh oh, this fool who, who left half his heart on an early train
(Aaa aaa aaa ooh)
Won't buy no more
Oh no
Don't use those same weepin' eyes
I've wipe them no more
Oh oh, I didn't want to have to be cruel
But the truth must be said
You ain't heard enough
Oh, it was not so long ago
Since you wandered out of here
To become a silver model of a city on the air
So don't choke me with your lies
Because this man has open eyes, I can see
I can see
I can tell
Oh oh oh oh
Umm umm
I had it enough
All those sneaky bars and smart parties
Had enough
All those sweet friends and lovers
I've had enough
All those lonely rooms and blank faces
I've had enough
And I want you, I want you no more
I want you, I want you no more
I, I don't want
Oh no, don't say those same idle lies
I've heard them before
Oh oh, this fool who, who left half his heart on an early train

New York poor New York
New York poor New York
cars choking your child to death
but you don't wanna see
cause you only think about yourself
how blind can you be
New York poor New York
sniper on the rooftop New York
New York poor New York
not fit for a dog in New York
everybody bites on the Big Apple
leave the hungry in tears
but no one gives a damn no one really cares
how they feel they're just paper people not real
you need a gun to walk into New York
now you're broke and you're out on a ledge
who can help you this time
now you're down to your very last cent
still you're askin' me who was your friend
i was your friend
New York poor New York
who turned the lights out in New York
New York poor New York
just another blackout in New York
girl dead on the 26th floor
but no one knew her name
found her body behind the door
too young for the game
New York poor New York
devils in the subway New York
New York poor New York
New York poor New York
talkin talkin talkin - watch out
Harlem touching midtown New York
New York poor New York
talkin 'bout New York New York
money's getting tighter New York

if you don't love me
please don't treat me this way
cause i can't stand it
i see our love slipping away
did you think you could just put me down
like a worn out shoe
cause if you don't want me
maybe i don't want you
if you don't need me
don't leave me out in the cold
eyes drifting by me
like somebody you don't know
did you think that you could just walk away
anytime you wanted to
cause if you don't love me
maybe i don't love you
did you think that you could just put me down
for somebody new
cause nobody can love you girl like i do
every little bird in the sky
would sing a song of love
if you would just take me back
come on open up your heart again
let me in baby baby
if you don't love me
stop fooling yourself
no more acting
i know your show too well
did you think that you could just shake my hand
with a how d'y'do
cause if you don't want me
maybe i don't want you
oh and as you go through life
it's the little things that come back again
if you came back again

i remember standing here
right on this very same site
i was dying but for you
it was just another night
you once rocked me in your world
you bought me my first shoes
i was just another lonely child
oh and you were much amused
so you took me and you dressed me well
all for your friends to see
drained my body calmly till
there was no more left in me
then you walked out and you cut me cold
out on the road somewhere
why it happened well i don't know
and i still have no idea
but everybody needs a friend sometimes
you need a little help
and who knows maybe one day you'll seek mine
only time will tell
you once held me in your arms
you made me feel so right
i was flying but for you
it was just another night
but everybody needs a little help
whether or not you think you really do
everybody needs a little help
now the time has come for you
i ain't looking to fight no wars
no more talking trash
i'm not seeking any more pain
cause i've had enough of that
but don't you worry it's alright
if you should come around
any night or any day

Father oh Father
hear me if you can
is it true what they say
that life is a dream
i don't understand
the things that make rain in my eyes
are they real or are they lies
you know i hear so much about you now
i'd give anything
to go on a little boat with you
talk about the scheme of things
on a little boat with you
Father oh Father
guide me if you can
or give me the chance to follow you home
i am your son but i wish i knew you
when you were young
were you lonely as a boy
you know i'd give so much to see you now
i'd go anywhere
pick a little stick and walk with you
talk about the scheme of things
on a short walk with you
Father oh Father
you give me just a little hope
i feel something out there reaching for me
well here i am
won't you take me with you
out of this maze
and away from this place
because it gets so cold and lonely here
i'll do anything
to sit on a little rock with you
talk about the scheme of things
on a small rock with you
show me show me show me the way
before they grind me down
and bleach me grey
send me power not to be afraid
and when i close my eyes
let me see you once in the light
Father oh Father
heal me if you can
is it true what they say

A gardener’s daughter met me on the way on the day I was to wed
“It is you who I wish to share my body with”, she said.
“We’ll find a dry place under the sky with a flower for a bed.
And for my joy, I will give you a boy with a Moon and Star on His head.”
Her silver hair flowed in the air, laying waves across the sun.
Her hands were like the white sands and her eyes had diamonds on.
We left the road and headed up to top of the Whisper Wood.
And we walked ‘til we came to where the Holy Magnolia stood.
And there we laid, cool in the shade, singing songs and making love,
With the naked Earth beneath us, and the universe above.
The time was late, my wedding wouldn’t wait, I was sad but I had to go.
So while she was asleep I kissed her cheek for cheerio.
The wedding took place and people came from many miles around.
There was plenty merriment, cider and wine abound.
But out of all that I recall, I remember the girl I met.
‘Cause she had given me something that my heart could not forget.
A year had passed and everything was just as it was a year before.
Until the gift that someone left, a basket by my door.
And in there lay the fairest little baby crying to be fed.
I got down on my knees and kissed the Moon and Star on His head.
As years went by, the boy grew high and the village looked on in awe.
They’d never seen anything like the boy with a Moon and Star before.
And people would ride from far and wide just to seek the Word He spread

Once she came into my room, feathered hat an' all
Wearing a warm wool shawl wrapped around her shoulders
Two eyes like lights, milky marble whites looking up at me
Looking for a way, Moons in an endless day
All I knew was with her then, no couldn't see the time
As we drank down the wine to the last Sweet Scarlet
How was I to wonder why or even question this
Underneath her kiss I was so unguarded
Every bottle's empty now and all those dreams are gone
Ah, but the song carries on...so holy
She was so much younger then, wild like the wind
A gypsy with a grin from an old far away country
But deep beneath her curls,
Beneath this misty pearl there was more to see
She could move mountains in the dark as silent as a knife
She cut loose a life that she never no never really wanted
All those days are frozen now and all those scars are gone
Ah, but the song carries on...so holy
Come let us drink again, before the second show
I want you so to know there's no bridge between us
All those gates have opened now, and through the light has shone

Sun is the reason
And the world it will bloom
Cause sun lights the sky
And the sun lights the moon
Sun is the reason
All the happy trees are green
Then who can explain
The light in your dream
Sit you down
Sit you down young gentlemen
There's something I want you to know
You keep on asking me
You keep on asking me why
Why are we here ?
It started a long time ago
Me & your mum on the night
Yeh Yeh Yeh ..we met
I was on the road again
She was in C79
Ill never never forget
Ill never forget that night no..
We met in a back road
Behind the stage
She had the best figure by far
Huh a thousand hours Ive looked at her eyes but I
Still don't know what color they are
Me & your mum on the night
Oh Lord. We met
I was on the road again
She was in C79
She was a junkie then
And I was having a good time
Back on the road again
Oh momma I was on the road again
Back in suite 79
Ill never never forget
Ill never forget that time
Back on the road again
Oh I'm traveling that line
I was a pop star then

You cut me deep
But now I'm gonna see you weep, yeah
This broken man
Is gonna do the best he can, yeah
I'll see you pay, before I give you my heart
Baby, I'll do without, there'll come a day
When I'll smash your heart and then turn away
You played with me like a toy and a little baby
After I broke you just didn't want to know, yeah
I'll see you pay, before I give you my heart
Baby I'll do without, there'll come a day
When I'll smash your heart and then turn away
My time will come
And you'll know when it's begun, yeah
You'll know because
You're gonna be just where I was, yeah
I'll see you pay, before I give you my heart
Baby, I'll do without, there'll come a day

She hangs her head and cries on my shirt
She must be hurt very badly
Tell me what's making you sadly?
Open your door, don't hide in the dark
You're lost in the dark, you can trust me
'Cause you know that's how it must be
Lisa, Lisa, sad Lisa, Lisa
Her eyes like windows, tricklin' rain
Upon her pain getting deeper
Though my love wants to relieve her
She walks alone from wall to wall
Lost in a hall, she can't hear me
Though I know she likes to be near me
Lisa, Lisa, sad Lisa, Lisa
She sits in a corner by the door
There must be more I can tell her
If she really wants me to help her
I'll do what I can to show her the way
And maybe one day I will free her
Though I know, no one can see her
Lisa, Lisa, sad Lisa, Lisa

Remember the days of the old schoolyard
We used to laugh a lot
Oh don't you remember the days of the old schoolyard
When we had imaginings and we had
All kinds of things and we laughed
And needed love yes, I do
Oh and I remember you
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
We used to cry a lot
Oh don't you remember the days of the old schoolyard
When we had simplicity and we had
Warm toast for tea and we laughed
And needed love yes, I do
Oh and I remember you
You were my sweet love, my first sweet love
My lovely dove my love, lovely dove
No matter what place, whichever the place
I still see your face, your smiling face
In childish dreams, inside my dreams
Like king and queen, God save our dreams
An' though time may face, though time may fade
It ain't never too late, to learn about love
Learn about love
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
We used to laugh a lot
Oh don't you remember the days of the old schoolyard
When we had imaginings and we had
All kinds of things and we laughed
And needed love yes, I do

Once I had a dream that worried me
Like a drunken guillotine
Lingering just above my head
Why, why, why, why?
Why was I born a nine, cursed repeatedly?
Who would know if I should die? No one needed me
Dark and empty was the place to which I'd come
Cold and silent was the house my name was on
Nine rooms and a tomb in every one
So dark and empty was the place to which I'd come
All at once my bones began to change
I was tall and young again
Sweet as rain falling on the snow
Who, who, who, who?
Who is he? Who am I and what laid in between?
How can I say goodbye? No one let me in
Can't see no need for nine no more

Midnight come, colors are melting
White moon shivering on the sea
Like a ghost up to the mountain
Wax Queen will carry me
I can see the forest for miles
All the creatures small and large
If you crumble I won't be living
For my love would have no house
Mountain, oh mighty mountain
Show me secrets you have
So I may become brother to Moses
And live, live and be glad
I can feel all of your powers
Growing lighter in the dark
If you crumble I won't be living
For my love would have no heart
White moon, white as my skeleton
Who has seen martyrs among my brothers
Yet strength remained in me to write the song
Say no more! The children already know
And their dreams grow strong like the trees
In their minds where thoughts are plotted
Is also where crystal suns are forged
And they will be older than a thousand years
So that they may open the deserts of the heart
And in these dreams of the mountain

Yes, I'm bein' followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
And if I ever lose my hands
Lose my power, lose my land
Oh, if I ever lose my hands
Ooh, I won't have to work no more
And if I ever lose my eyes
If my colors all run dry
Yes, if I ever lose my eyes
Ooh, I won't have to cry no more
Yes, I'm bein' followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
And if I ever lose my legs
I won't moan and I won't beg
Oh, if I ever lose my legs
Ooh, I won't have to walk no more
And if I ever lose my mouth
All my teeth north and south
Yes, if I ever lose my mouth
Ooh, I won't have to talk
"Did it take long to find me?"
I asked the faithful light
"Oh, did it take long to find me
And are you gonna stay the night?"
I'm bein' followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Leapin' und hoppin' on a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow

Miles from nowhere
I guess I'll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there
Look up at the mountain
I have to climb
Oh yeah, to reach there
Lord, my body
Has been a good friend
But I won't need it
When I reach the end
Miles from nowhere
Guess I'll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there
Oh yeah
I creep through the valleys
And I grope through the woods
'Cause I know when I find it my honey
It's gonna make me feel good, yes
I love everything
So don't it make you feel sad
'Cause I'll drink to you, my baby
I'll think to that, I'll think to that
Miles from nowhere
Not a soul in sight
Oh yeah, but it's alright
I have my freedom
I can make my own rules
Oh yeah, the ones that I choose
Lord, my body
Has been a good friend
But I won't need it
When I reach the end
I love everything
So don't it make you feel sad
'Cause I'll drink to you, my baby
I'll think to that, yes, I'll think to that
Think to that, oh yeah
Miles from nowhere
Guess I'll take my time

Life you make it what it is
Love can change it with a kiss
Love can take you by the hand
Love can drop you where you stand
But still you want to have it all
You like to live it up
But still you want to have it all
I thought you had enough
But still you want to have it all
I thought you had enough
Life you make it what it is
Love can change it with a kiss
She can turn your head around
He can lift you off the ground
But still you want to have it all
You like to live it up
But still you want to have it all
I thought you had enough
But still you want to have it all
I thought you had enough
Love you make it what it is
Life can change it with a kiss

It was a cold day in London
Dark clouds rumbling
Grabbed the yellow pages under the bed
I noticed an ad, it said
'Indian summer', '10 days of wonder'
'Paradise is yours for £50'
I thought to myself that's it
Told the wife to pack the bag
Forget about the plans we had
We're going east instead
She looked at me and shakes her head
I said, "Oh now, baby
I know it sounds crazy
But this may be the only chance we get
We only get one life to live"
So we grabbed the kids
And some body lotion
And we went to the middle of the
Indian Ocean
Our guide was there to meet us
'Welcome' sign to greet us
Ten porters stood up like a wall
Carried our bags to the hall
The custom man smiled to me
Begs so politely
"Tell me, sir, have you any more?"
I looked at him and said, "That's all"
They drove us to the beach house
I said, "Is this all ours?"
They nodded and rolled out the bed
I turned to my wife and said
"Ooh now honey, I guess it's still sunny
Let's all go down for a dip
Before the sun sets"
Suddenly I gazed up
Upon the rising wave
I saw the sea drawn from the sand
I grabbed the wife and kids and ran
"Please God, save us
Please don't blame us
For this is the only life we have
We'll make it up if we were bad"
The wave was a-pounding as we
Scrambled up the mountain
No one even dared to turn their head
Just one slip and you're dead
As the waves were dying
A child was crying
Searching for her mum and dad
A thin dress was all she had
She held us tight
We looked far and wide
But nothing there
There was nothing left
We all broke down and wept
Then came the morning
A new year was born
The girl had been with us all night
My wife looked down at her and sighed
"Oh my darling, it's suddenly dawning
But just take a look at those eyes

Say, if I laugh just a little bit
Maybe I can forget the chance
That I didn't have to know you
And live in peace, in peace, oh yea
Say, if I laugh just a little bit
Maybe I can forget the plans that
I didn't use to get you
At home with me alone, oh yea yea
If I laugh
Say, if I laugh just a little bit
Maybe I can recall the way
That I used to be, before you
And sleep at night and dream, oh yea

Baby, I've never had a single thing in my life I could call my own.
There you were, holding a love so true,
Now I've got a home, now I've got a home.
I found a love, hidden in a backstreet
I found a love, baby
I found a love, hidden in a backstreet
Hidden away from the world, baby
Baby, you really make me feel like a king, a king without a crown.
But darlin', Promise me one little thing: That you won't let me down.
I found a love, hidden in a backstreet
I found a love, baby
I found a love, hidden in a backstreet
Hidden away from the world, baby
Don't ever tell me lies baby,
Don't take it for a ride baby,
Just stay here by my side baby,
We won't ever stop.
I found a love, hidden in a backstreet
I found a love, baby
I found a love, hidden in a backstreet

I love my dog
As much as I love you
But you may fade
My dog will always come through
All he asks from me
Is the food to give him strength
All he ever needs
Is love and that he knows he'll get
So, I love my dog
As much as I love you
But you may fade
My dog will always come through
All the pay I need comes
Shining through his eyes
I don't need no cold water
To make me realize that
I love my dog
As much as I love you
But you may fade
My dog will always come through
Na, na, na, na, na, na, nana
I love my dog
As much as I love you
But you may fade
My dog will always come through
Na, na, na, na, na, na, nana
I love my dog, baby
I love my dog, na, na, na
I love my dog, baby

There's a yellow flower by your bed
Sadly droopin' its perfumed head
So you won't smell it, I know what you'll miss
An' there's a hummingbird, a hummingbird
A hummingbird, a hummingbird
Oh, there's a hummingbird singing
There is the hat you made, the clothes you wore
Lying down on the cold, dirty floor
The colors are fading, they'll never shine again
An' there's a hummingbird, a hummingbird
A hummingbird, a hummingbird
Ah, there's a hummingbird singing
Now the road, it's turnin' gray
There's a shadow where you once lay
They'll find it tomorrow, and think you went alone
But there's a hummingbird, a hummingbird
A hummingbird, a hummingbird

There are no words, I can use
Because the meaning still leaves for you to choose
And I couldn't stand to let them be abused, by you
Dreams I had just last night
Made me scared, white with fright
But I'm over to that Sunnyside Road
Over to that Sunnyside Road
Fortunes come and fortunes go
But things get better babe, that's one thing I know
And I'm over to that Sunnyside Road
Over to that Sunnyside Road
I have a friend that I have met
Who gives me love and a certain respect
Just a little respect, everybody needs just a little respect
That means you you
And in a little while our love will spread
To you
Ain't no matter who inside this world you know
There'll he someone who will love you just for who you are
Really are
Dreams I had just last night
Made me worried to face up to the light
But I'm over to that Sunnyside Road
Over to that Sunnyside Road
Come on now it's freedom calling
Come on over and find yourself
Come on now it's freedom calling
Come on in and remind yourself
Oh darling, you see my face
But it's in my heart that's where it's taking place
And I couldn't stand to let it go to waste
Can you
Oh love, sweet blue love
No man can ever get enough
But maybe one day we'll all die in love
Will you . Oh love, sweet love, my love
Oh babe, understand
Take my love that's all I have at hand
Please say you will Don't say you can't
Oh Will you Will you Will you
The moment you walked inside my door
I knew' that I need not look no more
I've seen many other girls before, ah but darling
Heaven must've programmed you
The moment you fell inside my dreams
I realised all I had not seen
I've seen many other girls before, ah hot darling
Heaven must've programmed you
You can live in the largest house
And eleven apartments too
Run your own private plane
And a boat in Malibu
But 'till you know' deep down what inside you really need
Well I love you baby, Ooh my dear
And I think about you sometimes
But when you're with me boy it chokes my mind
Come on now it's freedom calling
Come on over and find yourself
Come on now it's freedom calling
Come on in and remind yourself
Man must fight for freedom sure that's what most other people would say
Look for a body to lead them but there's too many to lead them away
Why wait until it's your time to die before you learn what you were born to do'?
Come on now it's freedom calling but there's only one freedom for you
Love, love boy
And I can't wait to be with you tomorrow night
Won't you give me your word that you won't laugh
Cos you've been a saving grace to me
And I'd hate to face a day without you around
My life would be without sound
Love, love, love, love must've made you on a Sunday
Cos you taste to me as good as God made honey taste babe
And the sky all glistens with gold
When you're talking to me
And the whirling wind turns to song
Why it sets my soul free
Love, love. love. love must've made you on a Sunday
There are no words. I can use
Because the meaning still leaves for you to choose

It´s not time to make a change
Just relax and take it easy
You´re still young That´s your fault
There´s so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me
I am old but I´m happy
I was once like you are now
and I know it's not easy
to be calm, when you found, something going on
take your time, think a lot
think of everything you've got
for you may still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not
How can I try to explain
When I do, he turns away again
It has always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
Now there´s a way and I know that I have to go away

Don't be shy, just let your feelings roll on by
Don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there
Just lift your head, and let your feelings out instead
And don't be shy, just let your feeling roll on by
On by, on by, on by
On by, on by, on by
On by, on by, on by
You know love is better than a song
Love is where all of us belong
So don't be shy just let your feelings roll on by
Don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there
You're there, you're there, you're there
You're there, you're there, you're there
You're there, you're there, you're there
You don't be shy, just let your feelings roll on by
And don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there
Just lift your head, and let your feelings out instead
No, don't be shy, just let your feeling roll on by
On by, on by, on by
On by, on by, on by

Why don't you come over?
It's lonely at the wooden lodge
Why don't you come and see our baby?
You haven't seen her for so long
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me
There in the back woods
We had our little piece of land
But everything wasn't so groovy
Not when you had to dirty your hands
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me
It's lonely at the wooden lodge
So why don't you share my bed
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog

A child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talking before I knew it and as he grew
He said, "I?m gonna be like you, Dad
You know I?m gonna be like you"
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
When you comin' home, Dad, I don?t know when
But we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then
My son turned ten just the other day
He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play
Can you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today
I got a lot to do", he said, "That's okay"
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
And said, "I?m gonna be like him, yeah
You know I?m going to be like him"
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
When you comin' home, Dad, I don't know when
But we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then
Well, he came from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
"Son, I?m proud of you, can you sit for a while?"
He shook his head and he said with a smile
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please?"
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
When you comin' home, son, I don't know when
But we'll get together then, Dad
You know we'll have a good time then
I?ve long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, "I'd like to see you if you don?t mind"
He said, "I'd love to Dad, if I could find the time"
"You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad
It's been sure nice talking to you"
And as I hung up the phone it had occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
When you comin' home, son, I don't know when
But we'll get together then, Dad

Don't want to work away
Doin' just what they all say
"Work hard boy and you'll find
One day you'll have a job like mine"
'Cause I know for sure
Nobody should be that poor
To say yes or sink low
Because you happen to say so
Say so, you say so
I don't want to work away
Doing just what they all say
"Work hard boy and you'll find
One day you'll have a job like mine
Job like mine, a job like mine"
"Be wise, look ahead
Use your eyes", he said
"Be straight, think right

Better bring another bottle with you, baby
If you really want to party then let's make it swing
Right into the morning
Better bring another bottle with you, baby
'Cuz I really want to make this little bell ring
Ding dong, ding
I feel cold and I want to get you by my side
I feel bold and I want to show you how this man can ride
Better bring another bottle with you, baby
If you really want to party then let's make it swing
Right into the morning
Better bring another bottle with you baby
'Cuz I really want to make this little bell ring
Ding dong, ding
I feel smooth and I really want to live it up
If we groove then I promise you that we won't even stop
Better bring another bottle with you, baby
I get the feeling that you want to take off and fly
High, high
Well, if my ceiling isn't high enough
We'll burn up the sky
I feel smooth and I really want to live it up
If we groove then I promise you that we won't even stop
Better bring another bottle with you, baby
I get the feeling that you want to take off and fly
High, high
Well, if my ceiling isn't high enough
We'll burn up the sky
Better bring another bottle with you, baby
Better try to bring another bottle now
Better bring another bottle baby

Blue Monday how I hate Blue Monday
Got to work like a slave all day
Here come Tuesday, oh hard Tuesday
I'm so tired got no time to play
Here come Wednesday, I'm beat to my socks
My gal calls, got to tell her that I'm out
'Cause Thursday is a hard workin' day
And Friday I get my pay
Saturday mornin', oh Saturday mornin'
All my tiredness has gone away
Got my money and my honey
And I'm out on the stand to play
Sunday mornin' I'm feelin' bad
But it's worth it for the time that I had
But I've got to get my rest

Maybe now
My love can get on its feet
You're my baby now
And that's something no one else can beat
Well, we're back to the good old times
And we're lovin' like we've never loved before
Baby, we're back to the good old times
And that's for sure
Breakin' up
Must've done us some good
'Cause makin' up
Made me love you much more than I could
Well, we're back to the good old times
And we're lovin' like we've never loved before
Baby, we're back to the good old times
And that's for sure
Kiss me now
Just like you used to do
And this is how
I tell if you love me too
Well, we're back to the good old times
And we're lovin' like we've never loved before
Baby, we're back to the good old times
And that's for sure
Well, we're lovin' like we've never loved before
Keep, keep on lovin' and we'll never go wrong
Baby, we're lovin' like we've never loved before
Keep, keep on lovin' and we'll never go wrong
Yes, we're lovin' like we've never loved before
Keep, keep on lovin' and we'll never go wrong
Baby, we're lovin' like we've never loved before

I was cold and so alone, so I couldn't help but moan
When the life that I had known started crumbling
Then this crazy world that I live in, started giving more to me
Oh, I've never known a lady like yourself
Oh, I've never known a lady
I was searching all the world, looking for a girl
Then a lady made an earl of this poor boy
Now this crazy world that I live in, started giving more to me
Oh, I've never known a lady like yourself
Oh, I've never known a lady
Now this crazy world that I live in
Started giving more to me
Oh, I've never known a lady like yourself
Oh, I've never known a lady

The view from the top can be oh so very lonely
And you can be missing such a lot that could be yours
Why can't I stop forgetting myself?
Why am I always trying to be like somebody else
Why can't I love you?
Why bother flying high above you
I know where you are
The view from the top can be oh so very lonely
And you can be missin' such a lot that could be yours
And who's going to miss me?
There'll only be myself to blame
You know I'd love to hold you tight
And love you all the night
But I don't even know my name
La la la
La la la
La la la
Why can't I stop forgetting myself?
Why am I always trying to be like somebody else?
Why can't I love you?
Why bother flying high above you
I know where you are
The view from the top can be oh so very lonely

He sleeps alone in the damp
And rests his head upon a door
The only bed he knows is the floor
The tramp
Turned up collar and worn out shoes
He doesn't care 'cause he hasn't got nothing to lose
He sleeps alone in the damp
And rests his head upon a door
The only bed he knows is the floor
The tramp
No companion to take him home
His only friends are the kind that just leave him alone
No one knows just how lonely his life has been
In a world that lives in a dream
He sleeps alone in the damp
And rests his head upon a door
The only bed he knows is the floor

1. Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you want to start something new
And it's breaking my heart you're leaving, baby I'm grieving
But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
Ref.: Oh, baby, baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl
2. You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
'Cos I never want to see you sad girl. don't be a bad girl
But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
Ref.: Oh, baby,baby ...
3. (Instrumental)
(Instrumental)
(Instrumental) , Baby I love you
But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes
Or taking a ride on a cosmic train
Switch on summer from a slot machine
Yes, get what you want to if you want, 'cause you can get anything
I know we've come a long way
We're changing day to day
But tell me, where do the children play?
Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass
For your lorry loads, pumping petrol gas
And you make them long, and you make them tough
But they just go on and on, and it seems that you can't get off
Oh, I know we've come a long way
We're changing day to day
But tell me, where do the children play?
Well you've cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air
But will you keep on building higher till there's no more room up there
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?
I know we've come a long way
We're changing day to day

I know I think a lot
but somehow it just doesn't help
it only makes it worse
The more I think
The more I know
the more it hurts
With only solitude to meet me like a friend
oh, where are you?
where are you ? where are you?
Maybe she sits alone
beyond the storm
across the raging torrent of the sea
she knows I want her
and she knows I'll always be...
How can I live without the love I cannot see
Oh where are you?
where are you ?
where are you?
oooooooohhhh
I know there's someone there
I hear her breathe
behind the silence of the dark
but I know that I wont see
'til we open up our eyes together
She'll look at me
What a moment that moment will be!
And she looks so light
I could fly her through the night
oooh
I know I think a lot
but somehow it just doesn't help
it only goes to show
that what you never miss
you never know
but I have loved you from the moment that we knew
oh, I love you
I love you

Now that I've passed your test
How can I prove to you baby i'll never let you down
If I led you around, I'm sorry
But I never meant to worry you.... no
Now that I've kissed your breast
How can I prove to you baby I'll never make you sad
If I ever had , do believe your tears tears won't come back again
I love you, though the stars may fade
And mountains turn into sand. I love you
'Til my body changes into an old man. I love you
And the song that i sing is the only way that I can explain
La la la la la la
You know i wish for you baby nothing but good times ahead
Anything that heaven can give you, I can give you instead
La la la la la la
How could I lie to you baby, i'll never lead you around
I'll take care of everything you need, darling
Every little need'll be found. I love you
Thought the time may change and snowmen sleep in the sea
And I really only want you to want me. I love you
And the song that i sing is the only way that i can explain
Now that you've shown your heart
I'll be right with you baby, I'll never leave you alone
Anywhere you want me to be honey, i'll be there to have and to hold
And now that the clouds roll back, hold on to me baby
We're going never to land, flying on the power of love
Flying on the power of love. I love you
Though time may fade and mountains turn into sand
I love you, 'til the very same come back to the land
I love you and the song that i sing is the only way that
i can explain
Two fine people should love each other

Oh, if I make a mark in time
Then I can say the mark is mine
I'm only the underline of the word
Yes, I'm like him
Just like you
An' I can't tell you what to do
Like everybody else
I'm searchin' through, what I've heard
Woah, where do you go
When you don't want no one to know?
Who told tomorrow
Tuesday's dead?
Oh Preacher, won't you paint my dream?
Won't you show me where you've been?
Show me what I haven't seen to ease my mind
'Cause I will learn to understand
If I have a helpin' hand
I wouldn't make another demand all my life
Woah, where do you go
When you don't want no one to know?
Who told tomorrow
Tuesday's dead?
What's my sex, what's my name?
All in all, it's all the same
Everybody plays a different game, that is all
Now, man may live, man may die
Searchin' for the question, "Why"
But if he tries to rule the sky, he must fall
Woah, where do you go
When you don't want no one to know?
Who told tomorrow
Tuesday's dead?
Now every second on the nose
(Woah)
The humdrum of the city grows
(Woah, woah)
Reachin' out beyond the throes of our time
(Woah)
We must try to shake it down
(Woah)
Do our best to break the ground
(Woah, woah)
Try to turn the world around one more time
(Woah)
Yea, we must try to shake it down
Do our best to break the ground
Try to turn the world around one more time
Woh, where do you go
When you don't want no one to know?
Who told tomorrow

I listen to the wind
to the wind of my soul
Where I'll end up
well, I think only God really knows
I sat upon the setting sun
But never never never
I never wanted water once
No never, never, never
I listen to my words
but they fall far below
I let my music take me
where my heart wants to go
I swam upon the Devil's lake
but never never never
I'll never make the same mistake

You say you want to seek the truth, but it's hard to find
No one to help you, your friends don't have the time
So you ride around in your car. switch on the radio
You want to relate to something you once read in a book
What kind of a way to try to take a look
Until I got hurt I was looking, I was on my way
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I painted my face gray
Until I got hurt, 'till got hurt, why didn't I
I didn't think of this until I got hurt
'Till I got hurt. baby. I didn't know' what love is
You say you want to learn to laugh 'cause music makes you cry
But the tears you shed are only in your eye
So you turn to any phony mouth with a tale to tell
But he's just a hoaxer don't you know, selling peace and religion
Between his jokes and his karma chewing gum
Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was the same as you
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, I did not know what to do
Until I got hurt, 'till I got hurt, why didn't I
I didn't think of this until I got hurt
'Till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is
Young son, don't let me down, young son
I'm trusting you to keep on, never turn away now
Hold on, never let go, now hold on
Turn your heart to the bright sun
Love will come your way
Because 'till you make that final show
You'll never know what love you've been missing
Missing
You say you want to seek the truth but you work alone
No one to help you and nobody to push you on
So you sit at home drinking your wine, television on
You wait for a miracle, because you say one day one will come along
(But wishful thinking, boy) any minute now You might be gone
I'd like to help you brother but that would be wrong
Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was on my way
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I didn't know which way
Until I got hurt, 'till I got hurt, why didn't I
I didn't think of this until I got hurt
'Till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is

I would have given you all of my heart but there's someone, who's torn it apart. And she's taken just all that I had... But if you want I'll try to love again (again). Babe, I'll try to love again, but I know:
Ref.: The first cut is the deepest, babe, I know, the first cut is the deepest. When it comes to being lucky, she's cursed. When it comes to loving me, she's worse.
I still want you by my side, just to help me dry the tears, that I've cried and I'm sure gonna give you a try. And if you want, I'll try to love again (again), babe, I'll try to love again, but I know:

Oh I'm on my way, I know I am, somewhere not so far
From here
All I know is all I feel right now, I feel the power growing
In my hair
Sitting on my own not by myself, everybody's here with me
I don't need to touch your face to know, and I don't need to
Use my eyes to see
Keep on wondering if I sleep too long, will I always wake
Up the same (or so)?
And keep on wondering if I sleep too long, will I even wake up
Again or something
Oh I'm on my way I know I am, but times there were when
I thought not
Bleeding half my soul in bad company, I thank the moon I
Had the strength to stop
I'm not making love to anyone's wishes, only for that light I see
'Cause when I'm dead and lowered low in my grave, that's gonna
Be the only thing that's left of me
And if I make it to the waterside, will I even find me a boat
(Or so)?
And if I make it to the waterside, I'll be sure to write you
Not or something
Oh I'm on my way, I know I am, somewhere not so far
From here
All I know is all I feel right now, I feel the power growing
In my hair
Oh life is like a maze of doors and they all open from the
Side you're on
Just keep on pushing hard boy, try as you may
You're going to wind up where you started from

Why don't you come over?
It's lonely at the wooden lodge
Why don't you come and see our baby?
You haven't seen her for so long
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me
There in the back woods
We had our little piece of land
But everything wasn't so groovy
Not when you had to dirty your hands
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me
It's lonely at the wooden lodge
So, why don't you share my bed?
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog

I know there'll be another time
There's going to be another moment
There'll never be another you
There's going to be another story, oh oh
There's so much left for you to do, love
There'll never be another you
There's going to be another spring
And it won't always be winter
And it'll always be spring
There's going to be another kingdom, oh oh

There'll never be another you
I will be there when you need me

There's so much left for you to know, love
There'll never be another you
There'll never be another you

It's so quiet in the ruins
Walking though the old town
Stones crumbling under my feet
I see smoke for miles around
Oh, it's enough to make you weep
All that remains of the main street
Up in the park on Sunday
Dogs chasing and the children played
Old man with his head down
Can't see nothing more around, no
But he remembers how it used to be
Back in the old days
So nice to see you coming
Back in this town again
It's nice to see a friendly face
Come peeping through
Having tea In the afternoon, now
So nice to see you coming
Back in this town again
Ah, but it's all changed
Winter turned on a man
Came down on day
When no one was looking
And it stole away the land
People running scared, losing hands
Dodging shadows of falling sand
Buildings standing like empty shells
And nobody, helping no one else
Young child with his hands high
Ain't able to see no reason why, no
But he remembers how it used to be
So nice to see you coming
Back in this town again
It's nice to see a friendly face
Come peeping through
You'd better know
What you're going through now
You came back here to find
Your home is a black horizon
That you don't recognize
Evil destruction has taken everything
You'd better walk on the side
While you're still walking
Just keep on walking on
Down the street keep your distance
From the people you meet, oh, Lord
And you'd better watch your eyes
'Cause if smoke gets in them
Baby, you won't rise again
So nice to see you coming
Back in this town again
Where's it leading to
Freedom at what cost
People needing more and more
And it's all getting lost
I want back, I want back
Back to the time
When the earth was green
And there was no high walls
And the sea was clean
Don't stop that sun to shine

I love I love Im ready to love yes
I love I love Im ready to love yeah
I love I love Im ready
to ready to ready to love
I love I love Im ready to love yeah
You keep me awake with your white lilly smile
Dont keep me watching your charms all the while
Cause as all the wise men say
Grab it if it comes your way
Im readyOh
I love I love Im ready to love yeah
ready to love
I love I love Im ready to love yeah
You make me feel things Ive never felt before
Help my baby eyes and open up the door
You make me real to everyone and everyday I
I thank the Lord that you came along this way
Its no more an illusion than I can say
I love I love Im ready to love yes
I love I love Im ready to love yeah
I love I love Im ready

Oh Randy, if they knew
I think they'd take me sway
Just for loving you, you
All alone in my own quiet way
'Cause that's the way that I want it
Wish I could see you now
You and your cherry black eyes
My heart would never lie down, down
'Cause that's the way my arrow flies
And that's the way that I want it
You never said it would rain
You only told me that the sun would come again
You never said it would rain
Oh Randy, if you did
It wouldn't mean a thing
It wouldn't hurt me a bit
'Cause only you can break my wings
And that's the way that I want it
You drew my face in the sand
And ever since that day you made me what I am
You drew my face in the sand
Oh Randy, if I could
There's nothing I wouldn't give
To live with you for good
'Cause that's the way I'd like to live
And that's the way that I want it
Randy, oh my Randy
Oh Randy, oh my, my Randy

Now I've been happy lately
Thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun
Oh, I've been smiling lately
Dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be
Some day it's going to come
'Cause out on the edge of darkness
There rides a peace train
Oh, peace train take this country
Come take me home again
Now I've been smiling lately
Thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun
Oh, peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on the peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller
Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on the peace train
Get your bags together
Go bring your good friends too
'Cause it's getting nearer
It soon will be with you
Now come and join the living
It's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer
Soon it will all be true
Oh, peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on the peace train
Peace train
Now I've been crying lately
Thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating
Why can't we live in bliss
'Cause out on the edge of darkness
There rides a peace train
Oh, peace train take this country
Come take me home again
Oh, peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on the peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller
Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on, come on, come on
Yes, come on the peace train
Yes, it's a peace train
Come on the peace train

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
You're only dancing on this earth
For a short while
And though your dreams may toss
And turn you now.
They will vanish away -
Like your Daddy's best jeans
Denim blue fading up to the sky
And though you want him to last.
Forever you know he never will
(You know he never will)
And the patches
Make the goodbye harder still.
Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
There'll never be a better chance
To change your mind
And if you want this world
To see (a better day)
Will you carry
The words of love with you
Will you ride
The great white bird into heaven
And though you want to last.
Forever you know you never will
(You know you never will)
And the goodbye
Makes the journey harder still.
Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
You're only dancing on this earth
For a short while
Oh very young

o caritas
hunc ornatum mundi
nolo perdere
video flagrare
omnia res
audio clamare
honines
nune extinquitur
mundi et astrorum lamen
nune concipitur mali hominis crimen
tristetat e et lacrimis
gravis est dolor
de terraeque maribus
magnus est clamor
O carita, O caritas
nobis semper sit amor
mos perituri mortem salutamus
sola resurgit vita
Ah, this world is burning fast
Oh, the world will never last

Yesterday I was on the edge
Hopin' everything was going to work itself out
A good honest man doing the work of God
Trying to make things better for him
A lover of life in a school for fools
Tryin' to find another way to survive
New music, new music, new music
Sweet music can lighten us
Can brighten the world, can save us, oh, oh, oh
My friend said well, I think I found a way
To help make myself richer
I said don't you know , well, it won't be too long before
The bad old devil will get you back
Back I said put back your heart and sing, sing
While you know you're still living
Sing, sing, sing , while you know there's still
New music, new music, new music
Sweet music can lighten us
Can brighten the world, can save us, oh, oh, oh
Take a look at the world, think about how it will end
There'd be no wars in the world, if everybody joined the band
Think about the light in your eyes
Think about what you should know
Thered be no wars in the world
If everybody joined in the show, oh, oh
Think about the light in your eyes
Think about what you should know
There'd be no wars in the world
If everybody joined in the show, in the show
New music, sweet music can lighten us
Can brighten the world, oh, oh, oh
Yesterday I was on the edge
Hopin' everything was going to work itself out
A good honest man doing the work of God
Trying to make things better for him
A lover of life in a school for fools

Now maybe you're right
And maybe you're wrong
But I ain't gonna argue with you no more
I've done it for too long
It was getting so good why then
Where did it go?
I can't think about it no more
Tell me if you know
You were loving me
I was loving you
But now there ain't nothing but regretting
Nothing, nothing but regretting everything we do
I put up with your lies
Like you put up with mine
But God knows we should have stopped somewhere
We could have taken the time
But time has turned
Yes, some call it the end
So tell me, tell me did you really love me
Like a friend?
You know, you don't have to pretend
It's all over now
It'll never happen again, no no no
It'll never happen again
It won't happen again
Never, never, never
It'll never happen again
No, no, no, no
So maybe you're right
And maybe you're wrong
But I ain't gonna argue with you no more
I've done it for too long
It was getting so good why then
Where did it go?
I can't think about it no more
Tell me if you know
You were loving me
I was loving you
But now there ain't nothing but regretting

What kind of power?
What kind of demon is this?
Who kicks me out in shame
With every word he says
What kind of majik of majiks?
What kind of war is this?
That I can't fight no more
That leaves me weaponless
And nails me to the floor
What kind of power, of powers?
What kind of man
Can make me turn and see?
The way I really am
Oh tell me who, oh who?
Where have my brothers gone?
Why I don't see them about?
They're all around him now
And keeping me out
What kind of madness, of, of madness?
"Go on and let him in, he's only asking for
A simple job to do and nothing more", they said
But looking back I see this stranger had the key
To any door he wished, with his eyes I say
What kind of majiks, of majiks?
What kind of man
Can make me turn and see?
The way I really am
Oh tell me who, oh who?
"Go on and let him in, he's only asking for
A simple job to do and nothing more", they said
"Go on and let him in", yeah, yeah
"Go on and let him in, he's only asking for
A simple job to do and nothing more"
But looking back I see this stranger had the key

Longer boats are coming to win us
They're coming to win us, they're coming to win us
Longer boats are coming to win us
Hold on to the shore, they'll be taking the key from the door
Longer boats are coming to win us
They're coming to win us, they're coming to win us
Longer boats are coming to win us
Hold on to the shore, they'll be taking the key from the door, oh
I don't want no God on my lawn
Just a flower I can help along
'Cause the soul of no body knows
How a flower grows, oh how a flower grows
Longer boats are coming to win us
They're coming to win us, they're coming to win us
Longer boats are coming to win us
Hold on to the shore, they'll be taking the key from the door
Mary dropped her pants by the sand
And let a parson come and take her hand
But the soul of no body knows
Where the parson goes, where does the parson go?
Longer boats are coming to win us
They're coming to win us, they're coming to win us
Longer boats are coming to win us

Back up on the mended road
I pause
Takin' time to check the dial
And the lilywhite
I never knew her name
But she?ll be passin' my way sometime again
I raise my hand and touch the wheel
Of change
Takin' time to check the dial
Thank the lilywhite
I never knew her name
She?ll be passin' my way sometime again

Later
I want to talk it out with you
Try to get my message through
That's not all I want to do
Later
Later
I want to feel your body close
From your head down to your toes
Maybe help you fold your clothes
Later
I want to spread the news, don't want to soft soap you
We're meant to live and love together girl Oh babe
There's nothing I can do, oh darling
I love you
There's no way you can stay home, alone, babe
Later
I want to talk it out with you
Try to get my message through
That's not all I want to do
Later

My lady D'Arbanville, why do you sleep so still?
I'll wake you tomorrow
And you will be my fill, yes, you will be my fill
My lady D'Arbanville, why does it grieve me so?
But your heart seems so silent
Why do you breathe so low, why do you breathe so low?
My lady D'Arbanville, why do you sleep so still?
I'll wake you tomorrow
And you will be my fill, yes, you will be my fill
My lady D'Arbanville, you look so cold tonight
Your lips feel like winter
Your skin has turned to white, your skin has turned to white
My lady D'Arbanville, why do you sleep so still?
I'll wake you tomorrow
And you will be my fill
My lady D'Arbanville, why do you sleep so still?
I'll wake you tomorrow
And you will be my fill
I loved you my lady, though in your grave you lie
I'll always be with you
This rose will never die, this rose will never die
I loved you my lady, though in your grave you lie
I'll always be with you

I work in the mornin', I work in the night
The men on the block they just laugh at me
I work in the mornin', I work in the night
The men on the block they just laugh at me
But when they're wiping their silver spoons
Palming the men for some bread
I'll be laughing
Way, way out of my head
When my little kitty gets out
There's gonna be a party, a party no doubt
When my little kitty gets out
There's gonna be a party
And if my mind isn't coming so fast
The men on the block say I'm on the brink
And if my mind isn't coming so fast
And I ain't so dumb as some people think
'Cause when they're wiping their silver spoons
Palming the men for some bread
I'll be laughing
Way, way out of my head
When my little kitty gets out
There's gonna be a party, a party no doubt
When my little kitty gets out
There's gonna be a party
I'll be laughing
Way, way out of my head
When my little kitty gets out
There's gonna be a party, a party no doubt
When my little kitty gets out

He was the King of trees keeper of the leaves
A deep green God of young love stained memory
We used to meet by him far from the hustling town
I loved you now they've come to cut you down, down
He was the guardian of days we held the same
Beneath the shade he gave shelter from the rain
Oh Lord how it's empty now with nothing save the breeze, I love you
Now they've come to burn the leaves, don't burn the leaves
And if my mind breaks up in all so many ways
I know the meaning of the words, I love you
And if my body falls inside an early grave
The forest and the evergreens are coming to take me back
So slowly as I roll down the track
The forest and the evergreens are coming to take me back
The forest and the evergreens are coming to take me back, back
Please take me back
He was the King of trees keeper of the glades
The way he lightened my life makes me so amazed
We used to meet by him many years ago, I loved you

People polishing guns
They've got nothing better to do
Though they think they're having fun
They're just living to die, if they but knew
Now, now
All day long they sit at home
Waiting for the milk to come
Watch them turn into stone
Thinking 'bout the things they might have done
Now, now
You missed the point, you missed the point
You really missed the point
Everybody's got to know
Love's the reason we're here
No matter which way you go
Love's gonna meet you there
Killin' time, killin' time
Killin' time, killin' time
You missed the point, you really missed the point
Made me cry, I wonder why, why
You missed the point, you missed the point

Katmandu
I sit beside the dark
Beneath the mire
Cold grey dusty day
The morning lake
Drinksup the sky
Katmandu I´ll soon by seeing you
And your strange bewildering time
Will hold me down
Chop me some Broken wood
We'll start a fire
White warm light the dawn
And help me see
Old satan´s tree
Katmandu I´ll soon be touching you
And your strange bewildering time
Will hold me down
Pass me my hat and coat
Lock up the cabin
Slow night treat me right
until I go
Be nice to know

See the funny little people running 'round in circles
Throwing bombs as they do
See the funny side of it
They're heading straight for you
See the funny little holes they're making
Looking like craters on the moon
See the funny side of it
We'll be living in them soon
But it's a super life
A super dupa dupa life we live
Yes, it's a super life
A super dupa dupa life we live
But it's getting pretty near the end
'Cause with a super life
You will borrow everything you lend
So, there's never anything to spend
You're broke, you dope you
See the funny little flying saucers we found
Painted up just for you
See the funny man inside
His color matches too
See the silly little camera he loves
Shooting pictures with all day
See the funny side of it
His friends are on their way
But it's a super life
A super dupa dupa life we live
Yes, it's a super life
A super dupa dupa life we live
But it's getting pretty near the end
'Cause with a super life
You will borrow everything you lend
So, there's never anything to spend
You're broke, you dope, you
But it's a super life
A super dupa dupa life we live
Yes, it's a super life

You left me wearing nothing but a shell
You left me wearing nothing but a shell
This feeling you've left me
Is the image of hell
I thought that you loved me
Ah, but then I never could tell
I thought that you loved me
But then I never could tell
This feeling you left me
Is the image of hell
If you loved me like you said that you did
Oh, then darling, you couldn't have done the things that you did
You walk by my door, but you don't ring my bell
You walk by my door, but you don't ring my bell
This feeling you've left me

It's just another point of view, ooh
A state of mind I'm going through, yes
So what I see is never true, oh
I wish I could tell, I wish I could tell
What makes a heaven, what makes a hell
And do I get to ring my bell, ooh
Or land up in some dusty cell, no
While others reach the big hotel, yeah

The secret of good and the secret of bad

How many times must I get up
Look out and see the same old view, view?
How many times must I wear the same old things?
And hear the same old things that I do, I do
How many times must I clean this face, my face?
And how many times must I shine my shoes, oh Lord, Lord?
How many times must I drink the same old drink
And dream the same old dreams that I do?
Because I, I know one thing
There ain't nothing that could ever ease the pain
But for your line and mine
I want that loving again, again
How many times must I pass your place, your place?
And how many times must I follow you, you?
How many times must I see the same old things
When all I should be seeing is you?
Because I, I know one thing
There ain't nothing that could ever ease the pain
But for your line and mine
I want that love again, again, again
Must I follow you?

Home on a kite we fly, home on a breeze we blow
Eyeing the folks below and watching everybody run
Each one heading for a different place
Watching everybody hide, each behind a different face
Home where the days are long back where the people are free
Home where all sides agree and everybody has a friend, oh
And no one ever has to grab
Everybody shares the love giving everything they have
Forever forever your lamp will burn
Forever home forever would that you'd learn
That you came with nothing so with nothing you'll return
Home
You know you're not alone it's only 'cause you're not a home
That you feel so out of place
Forever forever your lamp will burn
Forever home forever would that you'd learn
That you came with nothing so with nothing you'll return
Home where all the mums can sing, back where the children don't cry
Home where you never ask why
Everybody has enough, and you don't have to put on clothes

A hard headed woman
I'm looking for a hard headed woman
One who will take me for myself
And if I find my hard headed woman
I won't need nobody else, no, no, no
I'm looking for a hard headed woman, headed woman
One who will make me do my best
And if I find my hard headed woman
I know the rest of my life will be blessed, yes, yes, yes
I know a lot of fancy dancers
People who can glide you on a floor
They move so smooth but have no answers
When you ask, "Why'd you come here for?"
("I don't know")
"Why?"
I know many fine feathered friends
But their friendliness depends on how you do
They know many sure fired ways
To find out the one who pays and how you do
I'm looking for a hard headed woman
One who will make me feel so good
And if I find my hard headed woman
I know my life will be as it should, yes, yes, yes
I'm looking for a hard headed woman, headed woman
One who will make me do my best

You were always were so nice
When it came to problems you knew
I never did think twice
About ever coming to you
So granny, what on earth can I do?
Granny, granny, what on earth can I do?
'Cause this little girl, this little girl
She's a driving me wild, she's a driving me wild
So wild, so wild, so wild
You always straightened me out
When I was feeling rough
But this one I really doubt
'Cause this one's really tough
Oh granny, what on earth can I do?
Granny, granny, what on earth can I do?
'Cause this little girl, this little girl
She's a driving me wild, she's a driving me wild
So wild, so wild, so wild
So granny, what on earth can I do?
Granny, granny, what on earth can I do?
'Cause this little girl, this little girl
She's a driving me wild, she's a driving me wild

I've flown the house of freezing, the house of freezing steel
And though my body's back I know it can't be real
'Cause I've been on that house without a guiding wheel
The house of freezing steel
Oh where's it going, picked me up at seven
When my eyes were weak from the light of the morning
Oh sister won't you tell me what a man might want to know
This madness is fine, yes if you're mad at the time
Back on the house of freezing, the house of freezing steel
The tied my body up, I'm forced to eat my meal
A cold plate of lamb and cold potatoes too
Now what's a soul to do
Oh Lord above, brother won't you tell me
Is this a Eucharistic dove
'Cause I've been waiting for the right one to appear
But I've seen it in your face, and baby this ain't the place
Up on the house of freezing, the house of freezing steel
I made my mind up then to get me to the wheel
I made the cabin door, the pilot turned around
He said we're Venus bound
Oh please take me home
After all I'm only human and the earth is where I belong
I must have looked pitiful to this freak without a face
'Cause as he touched my head I saw myself back in bed
I've flown the house of freezing, the house of freezing steel
And though my body's back I know it can't be real
'Cause I've been on that house without a guiding wheel
The house of freezing steel

Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
if you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.

In the daytime, time for celebration
No use looking down if it's over here
It's a world, a new creation
And the golden light of the morning
Makes it easy to comb your hair
And the love of a child, it's the time of the year
In the daytime, you can move a mountain
With a blink of your eye
Now it's over here, now it's over there
It's a world with no complications
And the curtains on the window start blowing like your hair
And the love that I feel 'cause it's the time of the year
Mysterious moon found me crying in the dark
Heard my footsteps on the stairs
No, no, mysterious moon found me crying
But the sun dried my tears, showed he cares
In the daytime, time for celebration
No use looking down, children open your eyes
It's a world, a whole nation
Now the white boats have landed
And the innocent are here

I'm crazy 'bout you, baby, my, my, my
Your love just drives me crazy, heaven knows why
So let me love you while the moon's still high
Guarantee, you we'll have a good time
Making love under the stars
I feel the earth move when I'm in your arms
Got the River Nile in my veins
And when you're with me, darling
I could be the white rabbit falling into space
Look at him go
I?m crazy 'bout you baby, my, my, my
Your love just drives me cuckoo, heaven knows why
So let me love you while the moon's still high
Let yourself go and have a good time
Making love under the stars
I see the lights dance when we're holding hands
It's like magic being with you
And when I'm dogged out
I still dream about all the simple things that you do
All the little things
I?m crazy 'bout you baby, my, my, my
Your love just drives me crazy, heaven knows why
So let me love you while the moon's still high
Let yourself go and have a good time

Don't you feel a change a coming
From another side of time?
Breaking down the walls of silence
Lifting shadows from your mind
Placing back the missing mirrors
That before you couldn't find
Filling mysteries of emptiness
That yesterday left behind
And we all know it's better
Yesterday has past
Now let's all start the living
For the one that's going to last
Yes we all know it's better
Yesterday has past
Now let's all start the living
For the one that's going to last
Don't you feel the day is coming
That will stay and remain?
When your children see the answers
That you saw the same
When the clouds have all gone
There will be no more rain
And the beauty of all things
Is uncovered again
And we all know it's better
Yesterday has past
Now let's all start the living
For the one that's going to last
Yes we all know it's better
Yesterday has past
Now let's all start the living
For the one that's going to last
Don't you feel the day is coming
And it won't be too soon
When the people of the world
Can all live in one room?
When we shake off the ancient
Shake off the ancient chains of our tomb
We will all be born again
Of the eternal womb
And we all know it's better
Yesterday has past
Now let's all start the living
For the one that's going to last
Yes we all know it's better
Yesterday has past
Now let's all start the living
For the one that's going to last
Let's all start livin', let's all start livin'
Livin', livin', livin'

Oh I can't keep it in,
I can't keep it in, I've gotta let it out.
I've got to show the world, world's got to see,
see all the love love that's in me.
I said, why walk alone,
why worry when it's warm over here.
You've got so much to say, say what you mean,
mean what you're thinking, and think anything.
Oh why, why must you waste your life away,
you've got to live for today, then let it go
Oh, lover, I want to spend this time with you,
there's nothing I wouldn't do, If you let me know.
And I can't keep it in,
I can't hide it and I can't lock it away.
I'm up for your love, love heats my blood,
blood spins my head, and my head falls in love, oh.
No, I can't keep it in,
I can't keep it in, I've gotta let it out.
I've gotta show the world, world's got to know,
know of the love, love that lies low, so
Why can't you say,
If you know, then why can't you say.
You've got too much deceit, deceit kills the light,
light needs to shine, I said shine light , shine light.
Love, That's no way to live your life,
you allow too much to go by, and that won't do.
No, lover. I want to have you here by my side
Now don't you run, don't you hide, while I'm with you.
'N I can't keep it in,
I can't keep it in, I've gotta let it out.
I've got to show the world, world's got to see,
see all the love love that's in me.
I said, why walk alone,
why worry when it's warm over here.
You've got so much to say, say what you mean,
mean what you're thinking, and think anything. Why not?

Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way
I got in town a month ago
I seen a lot of girls since then
If I could meet 'em I could get 'em
But as yet I haven't met 'em
That's how I'm in the state I'm in
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way
Another fella told me
He had a sister who looked just fine
Instead of bein' my deliv'rance
She had a strange resemblance
To a cat named Frankenstein
Ooh, la,
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way
It's hard on a fella
When he don't know his way around
If I don't find me a honey
To help me spend my money
I'm gonna have to blow this town
Oh, no
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to

Well I rode a while, for a mile or so
Down the road to the 18th Avenue
And the people I saw were the people I know
And they all came down to take a view
The path was dark and borderless
Down the road to the 18th Avenue
And it stung my tongue to repeat the words
That I used to use only yesterday
Meanings just dropped to the ground
I tried to remember what I thought
And what I used to say
Don't let me go down, no don't let me go
Oh my hands were tied as I struggled inside
The empty waste of another day
Memories were blank to my eyes
The fire and the glory of that night
Seemed safely locked away
Too hungry to rise, too hungry to
Well I rode a while, for a mile or so
Down the road to the 18th Avenue
And the people I saw were the people I know
And they all came down to take a view
The path was dark and borderless
Down the road to the 18th Avenue
But my head felt better as I turned the car
And the airport slowly came to view
"One mile" Said the sign
I checked my bags and made it straight to end gate 22

They brang us up with horns and holly wooden songs
Dead snakes and poisoned wisdoms between our teeth
The evil that's been done still is carrying on
And on this night there'll be no peace
The old leaders' bones still beat on our homes
They built our life before us, we had no choice
The evil that's been done still is carrying on
And when they're gone we'll be the voice
Blue bird on the rock, slow wind blowing soft
Across the bare face of the sleeping lake
?Rise up and be free?, voice whispered to me
And in this way you will awake
Go climb up on the hill, stand perfectly still
And silently soak up the day
Don't rush and don't you roam, don't feel so alone
And in this way you will awake
And in this way you will awake and this way you will awake
Pick up the pieces you see before you
Don't let your weaknesses destroy you
You know wherever you go the world will follow
So let your reasons be true to you
Stay close to your friends up until the end
And when they know that you feel the same way
Rise up and be free and die happily
And in this way you will awake
And in this way you will awake and this way you will awake

Famous quotes by Cat Stevens:

"If you want to sing out, sing out, and if you want to be free, be free, cause there's a million ways to be, you know that there are..."

"I always knew looking back on my tears would bring me laughter, but I never knew looking back on my laughter would make me cry."

"I am confident that, in the end, common sense and justice will prevail. I'm an optimist, brought up on the belief that if you wait to the end of the story, you get to see the good people live happily ever after."

"Peace Train is a song I wrote, the message of which continues to breeze thunderously through the hearts of millions of human beings."

"Some extremists take elements of the sacred scriptures out of context."

"Salman Rushdie, indeed any writer who abuses the prophet or indeed any prophet under Islamic law, the sentence for that is actually death."
