"Four Strong Winds"

"Four Strong Winds"


Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high;
All those things that don't change, come what may.
But our good times are all gone, and I'm bound for moving on.
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

Think I'll go out to alberta, weather's good there in the fall.
Got some friends that I can stay with, working for.
But I wish you'd change your mind, if I ask you one more time.
But we've been through that a hundred times or more.

Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high;
All those things that don't change, come what may.

But our good times are all gone, and I'm bound for moving on.
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

If I get there before the snow flies, and if things are going good,
You could meet me if I sent you down the fare.
But by then, it would be winter, ain't too much for you to do.
And those winds sure can blow cold way out there.

Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high;
All those things that don't change, come what may.
But our good times are all gone, and I'm bound for moving on.
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

"Full Fathom Five"

"Full Fathom Five"


Full fathom five
My father lies
Of his bones all coral made
Those are pearls that were his eyes

Nothing of him but the fade
That doth suffer a sea change

Into something rich and strange
Seemeth holy ring is know

Hark! I hear them
Ding dong
Ding dong bells.

"Gee Baby"

"Gee Baby"


Ooh baby, you're so fine
I like to have you 'round me
Talk to me one time
Ooh baby, baby you're so fine
Gee baby, like to make you all mine

Ooh baby, say that I should stay
I like your lovin' any old old way
Ooh baby, baby you're so fine
Gee baby, like to make you all mine

Ooh baby, don't you love mre too?
I'd like to have a ring just to prove you do
Ooh baby, baby you're so fine
Gee baby, like to make you all mine

"Ghost Dance"

"Ghost Dance"


What is it children that falls from the sky?
Tayi, taya, tayi, aye ya.
Mannah from Heaven from most high,
Food from the Father, tayi, taye ya.

We shall live again, we shall live again,
We shall live again, shake out the grief.

Peace to your brother, give and take heed,
Tayi, taya, it left two feet.
One foot extended, snake to the ground,
Wave of the Earth, one turn around.

We shall live again, we shall live again,
We shall live again,shake out the grief, babe.

Stretch out your arms now dip and sway,
Fruit of thy bird, tayi, taya.
Threw off your shoe, haul off the sow,
Dust off the words that shape from the tale.

We shall live again, we shall live again,
We shall live again, shake out the ghost dance.

Here we are, Father, here, Holy Ghost,
Bread of your bread, host of your host.
We are the tears that fall from your eyes,
Word of your word, cry of your cry.

We shall live again, we shall live again.
We shall live again, we shall live.

What is it, Father, in your eye,
What is this grave sign, eyes to cry.
Blood of my baby, well, just what I need.
What is it, hide me, way off to speed.

Who is it, Father, holy that night?
What is it, Father, that moves to the right?
What is it, Father, isn't it pain?
What is it, Father, that shapes from your main?

What is it, Father, supposed to be brave?
A lot of questions, the right to live
What is it, baby, I can't do.
Your mama loves you, I'm dying, too.

I won't forget you, never lie
I'll always love you till I die...

"Gloomy Sunday"

"Gloomy Sunday"


Sunday is Gloomy,
My hours are slumberless,
Dearest, the shadows I live with are numberless
Little white flowers will never awaken you

Not where the black coach of sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thought of ever returning you
Would they be angry if I thought of joining you
Gloomy Sunday

Sunday is gloomy
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and I have decided to end it all
Soon there'll be flowers and prayers that are sad,
I know, let them not weep,
Let them know that I'm glad to go

Death is no dream,
For in death I'm caressing you
With the last breath of my soul I'll be blessing you
Gloomy Sunday

Dreaming
I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you
Asleep in the deep of
My heart
Dear

Darling I hope that my dream never haunted you
My heart is telling you how much I wanted you
Gloomy Sunday

"Gluttony"

"Gluttony"


Family

We've gotten word from philadelphia
Anna's doing well, she's making lots of money.
Her contract has been signed to do a solo turn,
It forbids her ever eating when or what she likes to eat,
She likes to eat, she likes to eat.

Those are hard terms for little Anna,
Who has always been very greedy.
Oh if she does not break her contract!
There's no market for hippos in philadelphia!

Every single day they weigh her,
Gaining half an ounce means trouble,
They have principles to stand by:
It's a hundred-and-eighteen that were signed for?
Only for the weight agreed we pay!

Gaining half an ounce means trouble,
More than that would mean disaster!

But our Anna Is not all that stupid
And she knows a contract is a contract
So she'll reason: after all
You still can eat like little Anna
In Louisiana? crabmeat! porkchops!
Sweet-corn! chicken!
And those golden biscuits spread with honey!

Think of our house in Louisiana!
Look? it's growing! more and more it needs you!
Therefore curb your craving! gluttons will be punished!
Curb your craving, Anna! gluttons never go to heaven!

"Go Away From My World"

"Go Away From My World"


Go away from my world,
Let me dream alone.
And you see it never worked from the start,
All I got for all of my love was a broken heart.

Go away from my world,
And let me dream alone.
I'll dry my eyes and comb my hair,
And I'll pretend you're never there.

Now you're gone the breezes blow so sadly

You never could understand the love I wanted so badly.

Go away from my world,
And let me walk all alone.
All alone in my room,
All alone and so sad.

I can dream of how I wanted us to be
Dreams I have the kind I knew could ever be.

Go away from my world.

"Goin' Back"

"Goin' Back"


I think I'm goin' back
To the things I learned so well in my youth
I think I'm returning to those days
When I was young enough to know the truth
Now there are no games to only pass the time
No more electric trains, no more trees to climb
Thinking young and growing older is no sin
And I can play the game of life to win

I can recall a time
When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend
Now I think
I've got a lot more than just my toys to lend
Now there's more to do
Than watch my sailboat glide
And every day can be
My magic carpet ride

A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back

"Going Home"

"Going Home"


I love to speak with Leonard
He's a sportsman and a shepherd
He's a lazy bastard
Living in a suit

But he does say what I tell him
Even though it isn't welcome
He just doesn't have the freedom
To refuse

He will speak these words of wisdom
Like a sage, a man of vision
Though he knows he's really nothing
But the brief elaboration of a tube

Going home
Without my sorrow
Going home
Sometime tomorrow
Going home
To where it's better
Than before

Going home
Without my burden
Going home
Behind the curtain

Going home
Without the costume
That I wore

He wants to write a love song
An anthem of forgiving
A manual for living with defeat

A cry above the suffering
A sacrifice recovering
But that isn't what I need him
To complete

I want to make him certain
That he doesn't have a burden
That he doesn't need a vision
That he only has permission
To do my instant bidding
Which is to say what I have told him
To repeat

Going home...

I love to speak with Leonard
He's a sportsman and a shepherd
He's a lazy bastard
Living in a suit

"Good Guy"

"Good Guy"


I've been looking for a good guy
For a long, long time.
Been looking for a good guy,
One to ease my mind
As well as my time.

I've been singing in the evening,
Flying through the night.
But I hurt my good guy,
I hope he makes out right,
Flying through the night.

I've been picking up the sunshine,
Been drinking down the rain.
I've been picking up the sunshine,
It makes me wonder when
I'll see him again.

You know time could bring a change, man,
It ain't for me to say.
You'll soon be out of range, man,
This could only be the way
It's meant to be.

Fairy castle stark and black in the moonlight,
The jingle jangle jester rides his stallion.

Seagulls fly across my mind forever.
Sadly goes the wind on its way to hades.
Would i, should i, could I be a stranger?
I shall walk right by and sigh good-bye.

I've been looking for a good guy
For a long, long time
Been looking for a good guy,
One to blow my mind
As well as my time.

I've been looking, you know I've been looking,
You better believe I've been looking.
I've been picking up the sunshine,
I've been drinking down the rain.
I've been thinking of the sunshine,
I've been looking for a good guy,
One to ease my mind
As well as my time.

Blow my mind
As well as my time,
Blow my mind...
