THE ROOF IS LEAKING

THE ROOF IS LEAKING


The roof is leakin' and the wind is howlin'
Kids are crying 'cause the sheets are so cold
I woke this mornin' found my hands were frozen
I've tried to fix the fire but you know the damn
thing's too old

It's been months now, since we heard from our Mary
I wonder if she ever made the coast
Well she and her young man they both moved out there
I sure hope they write just to let us know

And me, I'm getting stronger by the minute
My wife's expecting but I hope she can wait
'Cause this winter looks like, it's gonna be another
bad one
But spring'll soon be here oh, but I hope it's not late

Ma and pa lived here and their's before them
They tried their hardest to make it a home
Seems so long now since they passed over
Hope my children'll try to make it their own

Now my roof is leakin' and the wind is howlin'
The kids are cryin', 'cos the sheets are so cold
I woke this mornin' and my hands were frozen
Oh I've tried to fix the fire but you know the damn
thing's too old

But me, oh I'm getting stronger by the minute
My wife's expecting but I hope she can wait
'Cause this winter looks like it's gonna be another bad
one
But spring'll soon be here oh, God I hope it's not late

THE SAME MOON

THE SAME MOON


When the daylight comes and I look across the room,
I see you're gone.
As the morning breaks and I reach to hold your hand
I can see, see I'm the only one.
Well, your clothes are gone and your bags are packed
but the bed's still warm where you lay
now I need your love to come shining through
to carry me, come carry me away.

If you choose a time, I'll catch the moon
I'll see you there
from wherever I am, wherever you are
we'll find somewhere.
I see the same stars in the same sky
shining down on you,
I'll be looking up from wherever I am
and it's you I'll see if you're looking too.

There'll be days that'll seem much longer,
some nights will seem so cold,
and it's gotta come soon - please don't be too long,
don't be too long.

If you choose a time, we can catch the moon
I'll see you there
Whenever it is, from wherever you are
oh we'll find, yes we'll find somewhere.
are you looking at the same moon?

THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN'

THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN'


Come gather 'round, people, wherever you roam,
And admit that the waters around you have grown,
And accept it that, soon,
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you is worth saving,
Then you'd better start swimming,
Or you will sink like a stone,
For the times, they are a-changin'.

Come, writers and critics who prophecise with your pen,
And keep your eyes wide. The chance won't come again.
And don't speak too soon
'Cause the wheel's still in spin
And there's no telling who that it's naming.
For the loser now will be later to win,
For the times, they are a-changin'.

Come, senators, congressmen, please heed the call.
Don't you dare stand in the doorways.
Don't you block off the hall.
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled.
There's a battle outside and it's raging.
It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls,
For the times, they are a-changin'.
Yes, they are a-changin'.

Come, mothers and fathers throughout the land,
Oh, and don't you dare criticize
What you cannot understand.
Your sons and your daughters,
They're beyond your command.
Well, your old road is rapidly aging.
Please get out of the new one
If you cannot lend a hand,
For the times, they are a-changin'.

Oh, the line, it is drawn. The curse, it is cast.
And you know the slow one now will later be fast,
As the present now will later be past.
Well, the order is rapidly fading.
And the first one now will later be last,
For the times, they are a-changin'.
Yes, they're a-changin'.

Come gather 'round, gather 'round.
Come gather 'round, people, wherever you roam,
And accept it that, soon,
You will be drenched to the bone.
Then you better start swimming,
Or you're gonna sink like a stone,
For the times, they are a-changin'.

THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT

THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT


Someday when I'm awf'ly low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Oh but you're lovely
With your smile so warm
And your cheek so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
Just the way you look tonight

With each word my tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart
Lovely, never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight

THE WEST SIDE

THE WEST SIDE


There's a place for us, somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air wait for us somewhere
There's a time for us,
Someday a time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to look, time to care
Someday, somewhere,
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere.
There's a place for us
A time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow, someday, somewhere.

 

[fox69]

THERE'S A PLACE FOR US

THERE'S A PLACE FOR US


So here we are together
just you and me
sitting side by side
don't know why
with time just racing by
but I don't want to go

Well I don't know much about it
'cos all I am is what you see
in front of you
there's no more
feels so close and yet so far
but I don't want to go

Here I am, take my hand
here I am, please take my hand

I'd like to sit here with you if that's all right
if you don't mind I could sit and stare all night
sit here waiting for you to hold me tight

It's sad but I know it's true
you see I know you well
you'd only laugh at me
and that would hurt me so
just look at me here
you've got me pleading with you
but I don't want to go

'Cos you know that I love you so
yes you know that I love you so

Here, I will be here love
for you love, I will always be here love

If you look real close
you'll see my heart is on my sleeve
and it'll be here waiting
waiting for you, waiting for me
someone once said that if you truly, truly believe
you can make things happen
make things appear to be all that they seem
tell me do you believe?

We'll find a hideaway
together we'll find a way
somewhere, somehow, we'll find some way
there must be somewhere
there must be someplace
we can find somewhere
where they don't know my face
believe me we can find it
yes we can find it
somewhere, there's a place for us
somewhere, a time and a place for us
somewhere

THIS LOVE THIS HEART

THIS LOVE THIS HEART


This love, this heart, these arms to hold
So tight to you, I won't let go
Can this be real, or just some dream that feels so trueTesti Canzoni
I wish you love, I wish you more
You are all that I live for
I'll never hurt you believe me
My heart beats just for you
It only beats for you

I'll keep the fire alight for you
Can't think of nothing else, what can I do
This lonely heart of mine, it only beats for you
It only beats for you

You bring me peace, you make me smile
You give me strength and all the while
You ask for nothing, only love
And my heart beats just for you
It only beats for you

I'd say all these things to you
If you were here, but that's not gonna be
COs you 're not here at all
There's only me
But I won't stop trying

I won't give up, I'll wait for you
'Til you come back, it's all I can do
I'll be right here, I'm going nowhere without you
Give me the chance, just make the call
Just say the words, I'm waiting for
Just let this heart of mine show you
It only beats for you

Yes it only beats for you
It only beats for you
This love, this heart
These arms, they're only for you
This love, this heart
These arms, they're only for you

 

[fox69]

THIS MUST BE LOVE

THIS MUST BE LOVE


It must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love
Oh, this must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love

Well, I wait in every day, oh, just in case
You decide to call
And I can hardly wait
'Cause I never thought time could pass so slowly

It must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love
Oh, this must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love

Happiness is something I never thought I'd feel again
But now I know
It's you that I've been looking for
And day by day more and more

Well, I know what you think, you've heard it before
Don't tell me I know
But this feeling inside my heart
You know I'm never letting go, 'cause I think that

It must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love
Oh, this must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love

Words can only say so much
It's harder to express
The things you do to me
You're everything I could've ever dreamed you'd be

This must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love
Oh, this must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love

This must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love
Oh, this must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love

This must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love

THROWING IT ALL AWAY

THROWING IT ALL AWAY


Need I say I love you?
Need I say I care?
Need I say that emotions
Something we don't share?
I don't want to be sitting here
trying to deceive you
'Cause you know I know baby
That I don't wanna go
We cannot live together
We cannot live apart
That's the situation
I've known it from the start
Every time that I look at you
I can't see the future
'Cause you know I know baby,
That I don't wanna go
(Just) throwing it all away
Throwing it all away
Is there nothing that I can say
to make you change your mind?

I watch the world go round and round
and see mine turning upside down
Throwing it all away
Now who will light up the darkness?
Who will hold your hand?
Who will find you the answers
When you don't understand?

Why should I have to be the one
Who has to convince you?
'Cause you know I know, baby

That I don't wanna go
Someday you'll be sorry
Someday when you're free
Memories will remind you
That our love was meant to be
But late at night when you
call my name
The only sound you'll hear
Is the sound of your voice
calling
Calling after me
Just throwing it all away
throwing it all away
and there's nothing that I can say

We're throwing it all away

THRU THESE WALLS

THRU THESE WALLS


I can hear through these walls
I can hear it when they're foolin' around
I can hear through these walls and
I hear every sign, every sound
I can hear through these walls
In the dark with the shades pulled down
Every word that they say
Every move they make feels it's coming my way

My favorite moment putting the glass up next to the wall
Imagination though I see nothing, I hear it all
Putting my sign up do not disturb me, speak or shout, inside out
Oh when my clothes, they're all laid out

I can see through my windows
I can see the girls and the boys
I can see through my windows and
I can imagine the noise
I can see through my windows
I can see them playing with toys
Oh I hope it won't end
If I promise not to touch, just be a friend

Life is so lonely and I don't get high off just being me
I like pretending wanting to touch them, wanting to see
It's only normal creeping behind you, now don't shout, 'cause it's alright
They keep the windows locked and the door shut tight

Oo I'm feeling like I'm locked in a cage no way in, no way out
And it gets so lonely am I really asking a lot
Just to reach out and touch somebody?
'Cause when I look through my windows or open my door
I can feel it all around me

And I can hear through these walls
I can hear it when they're foolin' 'round
I can hear through these walls
I can hear every sight, every sound
I can hear through these walls
In the dark with the shades pulled down
And every word that they say
Every noise they make feels it's coming my way

Ah yeah
Ah yeah
Ah yeah
