I shudder to think what my father would think
If he came home and found me in bed
With more then just one
But several of some
Lovely big strawberries
He'll probably shout
Give me a hell of a clout
Or perhaps a good kick up the rear
But one thing's for sure
I'll have to endure
A great deal of pain so to speak
I know it's not right
But for a laugh every night
I knock on people's doors
And shout things like up yours
I'll never know why
But for some reason I
Never did well at school
All I did was break rules and tell lies
His birthday's next week
So I though as a treat
I would buy him his favourite book
It's not one of those poetic prose

Judy Collins
Original lyrics by Judy Collins
My father always promised me
That we would live in France
We'd go boating on the Seine
And I would learn to dance
We lived in Ohio then
He worked in the mines
On his dreams like boats
We knew we would sail in time
All my sisters soon were gone
To Denver and Cheyenne
Marrying their grownup dreams
The lilacs and the man
I stayed behind the youngest still
Only danced alone
The colors of my father's dreams
Faded without a sound
And I live in Paris now
My children dance and dream
Hearing the ways of a miner's life
In words they've never seen
I sail my memories of home
Like boats across the Seine
And watch the Paris sun
As it sets in my father's eyes again
My father always promised us
That we would live in France
We'd go boating on the Seine
And I would learn to dance
I sail my memories of home
Like boats across the Seine
And watch the Paris sun
As it sets in my father's eyes again

My father always promised us
That we would live in France
We'd go boating on the Seine
And I would learn to dance
We lived in Ohio then
He worked in the mines
On his dreams like boats
We knew we would sail in time
All my sisters soon were gone
To Denver and Cheyenne
Marrying their grownup dreams
The lilacs and the man
I stayed behind the youngest still
Only danced alone
The colors of my father's dreams
Faded without a sound
And I live in Paris now
My children dance and dream
Hearing the ways of a miner's life
In words they've never seen
I sail my memories of home
Like boats across the Seine
And watch the Paris sun
As it sets in my father's eyes again
My father always promised us
That we would live in France
We'd go boating on the Seine
And I would learn to dance
I sail my memories of home
Like boats across the Seine
And watch the Paris sun

My father always promised us that we would live in France.
We'd go boating on the Seine
and I would learn to dance.
We lived in Ohio then.
He worked in the mines.
All his dreams, like boats
we knew We'd sail in time.
My sister's all grew up and went away,
to Denver and Cheyenne.
Marrying their grown up dreams, the lilacs and the man.
I stayed behind, the youngest still only danced alone.
Hoping...
Hoping...
that my father's dreams would someday take me home.
I live in Paris now, my children dance and dream.
Hearing the ways of a miner's life,
In words they never say.
I sail my memories of home,
Like boats across the Seine.
And watch my father's eyes...
watching the setting sun...

[Music - Chastisement, Lyrics - Johan]
Instead of inherited stupidity i gained a fresh gasp of humanity / the
angels they turned on me as i fed my only need / my father spoke to me / he
told me not to be / as i walked his left-hand path i soon felt his wrath /
but i as i really don't give a damn / in a world full of love / there could

know you were the angel
Who played my lullabies
As I drifted off to sleep
In dreams of a child
Then I'd gently waken
To your softest words
And start the day filled with
The music I'd heard
Oh my Father
Your blood in my veins
Oh my Father
You showed me the way
To love and learn and be concerned
And never give up faith
Now there comes a time
When one decides
The path he must take
And it isn't always easy
When the ways separate
I couldn't bear your leaving
And it hurt to see you sad
But I know you'll always love me
Cause you'll always be my dad
Oh my Father
Your blood in my veins
Oh my Father
You showed me the way
To love and learn and be concerned
And never give up faith
Now we sit and read together
Just breathing the same air
Now and then you'll read aloud
A part you want to share
Or maybe we'll be walking
You always lead the way
Not worried if I'm keeping up
You know I'll find my way
Oh my Father
Your blood in my veins
Oh my Father
You showed me the way
To love and learn and be concerned

I have lost myself to the pain of enduring his happinessI
focus on the pain a child who will not be blessed
Torn apart by death lives that have been touched
Puddles of tears and fears left here without a touch
I have been left here without guidance or anyone to love
The fear has turned my skin white as a dove
Torn apart by death lives that have been touched
Puddles of tears and fears left here without a crutch
Where else can I turn to
I have no one to look after me
Where else can I turn to
Forever alone is what I' ll have to be
Why am I all alone
Why am I on my own
There are no shoulders on which to cry
I don' t want to be alone until I die
Where else can I turn to
I have no one to look after me
Where else can I turn to
