More Song Lyrics 4

I loved Harry Chapin's story songs, N*amsnanny*, especially W.O.L.D. and Corey's Coming.

Say goodbye my own true lover
As we sing our lovers' song
How it breaks my heart to leave you
Now the carnival is gone.

R.I.P. Judith Durham.??

I'm so sad to hear of her passing. We saw the belated 50 th anniversary show of Judith and The Seekers in Glasgow Concert Hall a few years ago. Brilliant Concert, her voice was as beautiful as ever.

Harry Chapin is a great story teller isnt he? Granmarie

Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I cant say anymore
Cos I love you....

How many roads must a man walk down
before you call him a man ?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand ?
Yes, how many times must the cannonballs fly
before they,re forever banned
The answer my friend is.blowin in the wind
the answer is blowin in the wind

It was just after dark when the truck headed down
The road that leads into Scranton Pennsylvania,
Carrying thirty thousand pounds of bananas,
Carrying thirty thousand pounds ( hit it big John) of bananas.

Yes we have no bananas
We have no bananas today...

Yellow bird, up high in banana tree.
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me.
Did your lady friend leave the nest again?
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad.
You can fly away, in the sky away.
You're more lucky than me. ?

Nobody I know could love me more than you
You can give me so much love it seems untrue
Listen to the bird who sings it to the tree
And then when you've heard him see if you agree
Nobody I know could love you more than me.

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man, to be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like
To be hated, to be fated
To telling only lies

The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes
My love and see
All the lovely things
You are to me

The last that ever she saw him
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
He passed on worried and warning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.

Yes, Glorianny, what wonderful singer/songwriters. ?

Goodnight, you moonlight ladies
Rockabye, sweet baby James
Deep greens and blues are the colours I choose
Won't you let me go down in my dreams?
And rockabye, sweet baby James

Love James Taylor (and Bowie)

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone,
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you...

Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground.

another of my favourite s Glorianny

Ground control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on...

Who knows?
Not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

My love is my life my life is my love
My world is my man my only man
Your old baby doll your raggedy doll
Is waiting for you to play again
Come back and shake me take me in your arms
Love me hug me be my friend and love me....

When I wake up, well I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out, yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you…

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you

In the morning when I wake up
and listen to the sound of the birds outside on the roof
I try to ignore what the papers say
and I try not to read all the news
and I,ll hold you if you had a bad dream
and hope it never comes true

Aww, thanks Namsnanny

Stars shining bright above you,
Night breezes seem to whisper ' I love you '
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me..

Hiraeth just for you

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spot light
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I dont know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
But that was just a dream
Just a dream

I dreamed last night I got on the boat to heaven
And by some chance I had brought my dice along
And there I stood
And I hollered "Someone fade me"
But the passengers, they knew right from wrong.
For the peopel all said sit down, sit down, you're rockin' the boat
People all said sit down
Sit down you're rockin' the boat.

I combed my hair 'til it was just right
And commanded the night brigade
I was open to pain and crossed by the rain
And I walked on a crooked crutch
I strolled all alone through a fallout zone
And came out with my soul untouched

I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd
But when they said, "Sit down," I stood up
Ooh, ooh, growin' up
