I have my books And my poetry to protect me I am shielded in my armor Hiding in my room safe within my womb I touch no one and no one touches me I am a rock I am an island
Baby, I'm-a want you Baby, I'm-a need you You're the only one I care enough to hurt about Maybe I'm-a crazy, but I just can't live with out Your lovin' and affection, givin' me direction Like a guiding light to help me through my darkest hour
Lead, kindly light, amid the encircling gloom Lead thou me on The night is dark, and I am far from home Lead thou me on Keep thou my feet, I do not ask to see The distant scene, one step enough for me
It's four in the morning, the end of December I'm writing you now just to see if you're better New York is cold, but I like where I'm living There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening
It's three o'clock in the morning We've danced the whole night through And daylight soon will be dawning Just one more waltz with you That melody so entrancing Seems to be made for us two I could just keep on dancing forever dear with you There goes the three o'clock chime, chiming, rhyming My heart keeps beating in time Sounds like an old sweet love tune Say that there soon will be a honeymoon It's three o'clock in the morning We've danced the whole night through And daylight soon will be dawning Just one more waltz with you That melody so entrancing Seems to be made for us two I could just keep on dancing forever dear with you
I needed the shelter of someone's arms And there you were I needed someone to understand my ups and downs And there you were With sweet love and devotion Deeply touching my emotion I want to stop and thank you, baby I wanna stop and thank you baby, yes I do How sweet it is to be loved by you
In my arms, in my arms Ain't I never gonna have a girl in my arms In my arms, in my arms Ain't I never gonna get a bundle of charms Comes the dawn, I'll be gone I just gotta have a honey holdin' me tight You can keep your knittin' and purlin' If I'm gonna go to Berlin Gimme a girl in my arms tonight
Train whistle blowing makes a squeaky noise Underneath the blankets go all the girls and boys Rocking, rolling, riding, out along the bay, All bound for Morningtown, many miles away.
Gonna take a sentimental journey Gonna set my heart at ease Gonna make a sentimental journey To renew old memories Got my bag, got my reservation Spent each dime I could afford Like a child in wild anticipation I long to hear that all aboard Seven, that's the time we leave, at seven I'll be waitin' up for heaven Countin' every mile of railroad track That takes me back Never thought my heart could be so yearning Why did I decide to roam? I gotta take this sentimental journey Sentimental journey home
Never thought I'd fall, But now I hear love call, Things you say and do, Just thrill me through and through, I'm getting sentimental over you. I thought I was happy, I could live without love Now I must admit, Love is all I'm thinking of Won't you please be kind, And just make up your mind That you'll be sweet & gentle, Be gentle with me Because I'm sentimental over you
Maybe I didn't treat you Quite as good as I should Maybe I didn't love you Quite as often as I could Little things I should have said and done I never took the time … You were always on my mind You were always on my mind
Do you ever get that feeling and wanna kiss and hug her? Do it now tell her you love her. Don't do to your mom what I did to mine. She grew so lonely in the end. Angels picked her for a friend...(Never) And I can never go home...(never) anymore And that's called "sad."...
In her eyes there's the blue of Killarney On her cheeks the rose of Kildare On her lips just a bit of blarney and the rose of Kildare in her hair She was cradled and born on St. Patrick's morn with a smile on her face so sublime She's as sweet as the day She stole Dad's heart away That old Irish Mother of mine
On the fourth of July, 1806 We set sail from the sweet cove of Cork We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks For the Grand City Hall in New York 'Twas a wonderful craft She was rigged fore and aft And oh, how the wild wind drove her She stood several blasts She had twenty-seven masts And they called her The Irish Rover
As I cruised out one eve-e-ning upon a night's career I spied a lofty clipper ship and to her I did steer I heisted out my sig-a-nals which she so quickly knew And when she saw my bunting fly she imme-diately hove to-woo-woo I took her for some fish and chips and treated her so fine And hardly did I realize she was the rovin' kind I kissed her lips, I missed her lips and found to my surprise She was nothin' but a pirate ship rigged up in a dis-guy-eye-ise And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets (She was a nice girl, a proper girl but one of the rovin' kind)
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis Just like you swore to me that you'd be true There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis But he's a liar and I'm not sure about you, ow!
You know that it would be untrue You know that I would be a liar If I was to say to you Girl, we couldn't get much higher Come on, baby, light my fire Come on, baby, light my fire Try to set the night on fire
Your kisses lift me higher Like the sweet song of a choir You light my morning sky With burning love I feel my temperature rising Help me, I'm flaming I must be a hundred and nine Burning, burning, burning And nothing can cool me I just might turn into smoke But I feel fine
Frank Zappa and the Mothers Were at the best place around But some stupid with a flare gun Burned the place to the ground Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky (Smoke) on the water
