"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"

"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"


The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gift you gave
To the dark and empty skies (my love)

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command
(My love... That was there at my command)

The first time ever I lay with you
And felt your heart beat over mine
And I thought our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time my love
And last to the end of time

"The Man I Love"

"The Man I Love"


Someday, he'll come along, the man I love
And he'll be big and strong, the man I love
And when he comes my way,
I'll do my best to make him stay

He'll look at me and smile, I'll understand
Then in a little while, he'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd,
I know we both won't say a word

Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still, I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good-news day

He'll build a little home that's meant for two
From which I'll never roam, who would, would you?
And so all else above,
I'm dreaming of the man I love

Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still, I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good-news day

He'll build a little home that's meant for two
From which I'll never roam, who would, would you?
And so all else above,
I'm waiting for the man I love

"The Man In The Wings"

"The Man In The Wings"


It's my song
And I sing for the man in the wings
Is it strange
When we never have shared anything

I don't ache for some tender exchange
In the dark - that will pass
But the purest refrain
Will haunt us again
And he has that with me
When I've nothing to bring
I sing for the man in the wings

We won't speak
He won't ask me to follow him home
And his name
If I ever did know it, is gone

Back to back
I can hear his pulse racing with mine
Both in time
I'll be waiting for him
Before I begin each line
And he won't mind
That I've nothing to bring
When I sing for the man in the wings

And they tell me he walks alone
It is said that he is stone
Without knowing the shape of him
I am certain they are wrong
We meet in a different place
Me, the man and the song

I don't long
For some fleeting exchange in the dark
That will pass
But the purest refrain
Will haunt us again
And he has that with me
When we've nothing to bring
I sing for the man in the wings

"The Sharpest Corner (Hollow)"

"The Sharpest Corner (Hollow)"


Liar, lie you lie,
Time and again, and why?
No want will make it true.
The only road to clip my heel,
Is spinning like a wheel
And we are crashing over
The sharpest corner ever turned.

Cry, you cry, you cry,
There's no good in goodbye
When you can't wish me well.
The only smile that lights your face,
Is raised from my disgrace,
There is no getting over
The sharpest corner ever turned.

So, no.
No love me, love me, love.
Hollow, Hollow
And no.
No take me, take me in.
Hollow, Hollow.

Forgive, forgive, forgive
I know the way you live,
The shadow that you throw
Dream the dream the dreamer dreams
Who never goes to sea
Who's never sailing over
The sharpest corner ever turned.

So no,
No love me, love me, love.
Hollow, Hollow
And no.
No take me, take me in.
Hollow, Hollow.

"The Train I Ride"

"The Train I Ride"


I've been keeping you safe inside for the longest time
I've being trying to keep alive the paper kisses you sign
And even now when any body breathes you name
I prepare to feel that pain
Bearing down like the train coming through in a minute
Oh it's war, it's farce, it's cinema
It's one long ride an inch too far

The louder you scream, the faster you go
The more that you learn the less that you know
I brought a ticket and there's no way I can ride but alone
But somewhere it stops and that's letting go

Didn't want to be right tonight, you were out of line
I made a meal of this mess of mine for the very last time
And one day when you stumble, I won't break your fall
It won't hurt any more
But I'll ride on the train coming through in a minute
Going south and on so let it come
The train I ride won't always run

I got a ticket and it's going to take a while, going slow
But it's going to stop and that's letting go
I took my chances and I'm going to have to go with the flow
But somewhere it stops and that's letting go

"The Windmills Of Your Mind"

"The Windmills Of Your Mind"


Round, like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel.
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream.

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly
Was it something that you said
Lovers walking along the shore,
Leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand

Pictures hanging in a hallway
And a fragment of a song
Half remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong
When you knew that it was over
In the autumn of goodbyes
For a moment
You could not recall the color of his eyes

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel
As the images unwind
Like the circle that you find
In the windmills of your mind

"The Wraggle Taggle Gipsies-O!"

"The Wraggle Taggle Gipsies-O!"


Three gypsies stood at the castle gate
They sang so high, they sang so low
The lady sate in her chamber late
Her heart it melted away as snow

They sang so sweet, they sang so shrill
That fast her tears began to flow
And she lay down her silken gown
Her golden rings and all her show

She took it off her high-heeled shoes
A-made of Spanish leather-O
She would in the street in her bare, bare feet
All out in the wind and weather-O

Saddle to me my milk white steed
And go and fetch me my pony-O
That I may ride and seek my bride
Who's gone with the wraggle taggle gypsies-O

He rode high and he rode low
He rode through woods and copses too
Until he came to an open field
And there he espied his a-lady-O

"What makes you leave your house and land
Your golden treasures for to go
What makes you leave your new wedded lord
to follow the wraggle taggle gypsies-O?"

"What care I for my house and my land
What care I for my treasures-O
What care I for my new wedded lord
I'm off with the wraggle taggle gypsies-O!"

"Last night you slept on a goose-feathered bed
With the sheet turned down so bravely-O
Tonight you'll sleep in a cold open field
Along with the wraggle taggle gypsies-O!"

"What care I for the goose-feathered bed
With the sheet turned down so bravely-O
Tonight I shall sleep in a cold open field
Along with the wraggle taggle gypsies-O!"

"There Are Worse Things I Could Do"

"There Are Worse Things I Could Do"


There are worse things I could do
Than go with a boy or two
Even though the neighborhood
Thinks I'm trashy and no good

I suppose they could be true
But there are worse things I could do

I could flirt with all the guys
Smile at them and bat my eyes
Press against them when we dance
Make them think they stand a chance

Then refuse to see it through
That's a thing I'd never do

I could stay home every night
Wait around for Mr.Right
Take cold showers every day
And throw my life away
On a dream that won't come true

I could hurt someone like me
Out of spite or jealousy
I don't steal and I don't lie
But I can feel and I can cry

A fact I'll bet you never knew
But to cry in front of you
That's the worst thing I could do

"This House"

"This House"


Whose sticky hands are these
And what is this empty place
I could be happily lost
But for your face
Here stands an empty house
That used to be full of life
Now it's home for no one
And his wife
It's a hovel and

(Who)
Who can take your place
I can't face another day
And
(Who)
Who will shelter me
It's cold in here
Cover me

Under these fingertips
A strange body rolls and dips
I close my eyes
And you're here again
Later as day descends
I'll shout from my window
To anyone listening
I'm losing

(Who)
Who can take your place
I can't face another day
And
(Who)
Who will shelter me
It's cold in here
Cover me

Oh, in a plague of hateful questioning
Tap dancing every syllable from ear to ear
I hear the din of lovers jousting
When I'm hiding with my head to the wall
So

(Who)
Who will shelter me
It's cold in here.

"To Work On You"

"To Work On You"


Can I sleep on your floor tonight?
If I promise to stay there
I want to be with you
It's too late to go back home
I can say what you want me to
If it's words that please you
I'll talk forever
I'll never be alone
You didn't tell me that you had to leave
And now I want to know the reason why
You had to question everything I see
Every time I close me eyes

I've gotta work on someone
Let me work on you
You know I've gotta work on someone
Maybe your made to work me too

This thing across is a mile wide
Could we bridge the distance
I want to go outside
Don't hide yourself away
Muddy hands to the dirty mind
Play us in the peepshow
Oh let them be right this time
No matter what they say

Are you worried that you're being fooled
And tomorrow you'll be left behind
Why do you question everything I do
Every time I leave your side

I've gotta work on someone
Let me work on you
You know I've gotta work on someone
Maybe you're made to work me too
