More Song Lyrics 4

In my memory I will always see
The town that I have loved so well.
Where our school played ball by the gas yard wall...

You, who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so, become yourself
Because the past is just a goodbye
Teach your children well
Their father's hell did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick's the one you'll know by

I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main road
Searchin' in the sun for another overload
I hear you singing in the wire
I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line

I love that one.
It makes me quite tearful for some reason.
It's sublime.

Me too, Miss A. I love Glen Campbell, especially the yearning in his voice when he sings,

And I need you more than want you,
And I want you for all time....??

Oh yes, those are exactly the lines that make my eyes prickle with tears.
He really does have that ability to express pure emotion. (Much like Karen Carpenter)

I agree, Miss A. Just can't think of many modern singers/ songs with the same effect.

Thanks again for this wonderful thread, Namsnanny.

I agree , such a beautiful voice .Especially when he sang Wichita lineman . I love the YouTube video with Kris kristofferson sitting next to him .

We have all the time in the world
Time enough for life to unfold
All the precious things love has in store.

I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company

Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things not bad
Sing of happy not sad

Song sung blue
everybody knows one
Song,sung blue
every garden grows one

Thinking of my going,
how to cut the thread and leave it all behind,
Looking windward for my comfort
I take each day as it arrives,
But these miss you nights are the longest.

Thanks Granmarie Yes I really enjoy it too. (No argybargy and lots of lovely memories)
I merely kept the thread going, MissAdventure was the genius who thought to start it!

'Cause I've seen blue skies through the tears
In my eyes and I realise

I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home.......

Thank you, * MussAdventure!*

Oh, home, let me come home,
Home is wherever I'm with you.

For I'm the type of boy
Who is always on the roam
Wherever I lay my hat
That's my home
I'm telling you that's my home.

This was my favourite song for ages.

For I'm the type of boy
Who is always on the roam
where ever I lay my hat
That's my home

Thanks those who started and all who've kept these threads going. Lovely reminders of great songs and singers.

Oh crossed posts MiniMoon sorry.
Paul Young had such a great blues voice.

Homeward bound
I wish I was homeward bound
Home, where my thought's escaping
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love lies waiting silently for me

Come to me with secrets bare.
I'll love you more so don't be scared,
And when we're old and near the end...
We'll do it all again...

Old man, look at my life
im a lot like you were
24 and there so much more
live alone in a paradise
that makes me think of two

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’ve got a peaceful easy feeling
And I know you won’t let me down
‘Cause I’m already standing
On the ground

I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you...
Won't let nobody hurt you...
I'll stand by you...
