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

Now here I go again, I see the crystal vision
I keep my visions to myself
But it's only me who wants to wrap around your dreams and
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering
What you had and what you lost

Grandyma Fri 03-Feb-23 15:44:51

You, who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so, become yourself
Because the past is just a goodbye
Teach your children well
Their father's hell did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick's the one you'll know by
Don't you ever ask them, "Why?"
If they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you

Earth mother your children are here
High and feeling dandy
Earth mother your children are here
Ripped on coke and candy
Once the earth was a garden
It gave us all we need
Then it grew so barren
All because of greed

LadyHonoriaDedlock Fri 03-Feb-23 14:50:24

Well, I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, "Tell me, where are you going?"
And this he told me
Said, "I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm
Gonna join in a rock 'n' roll band
Got to get back to the land
Set my soul free"
We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

Caleo Fri 03-Feb-23 14:31:59

On wings of song I'll bear thee,
My heart's love, far away,
Speeding fast over the palm trees
Where Ganges' blue waters play.
Where hidden in glorious garden,
Beneath the gleaming moon,
The lotus flowers are longing
To see their sister soon.

dayvidg Fri 03-Feb-23 14:23:44

Little by little the night turns around
Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn
Lotuses lean on each other in yearning
Under the eaves the swallow is resting
Set the controls for the heart of the sun

LadyHonoriaDedlock Fri 03-Feb-23 12:27:04

I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

dayvidg Fri 03-Feb-23 12:26:53

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

MiniMoon Thu 02-Feb-23 23:46:40

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze a while
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Grandyma Thu 02-Feb-23 23:40:07

The old hometown looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

Caleo Thu 02-Feb-23 23:25:09

I love the hills, I love the prairie
I love Jane, and I love Mary
But pretty little black eyed Susie
But pretty little black eyed Susie
Cross my heart I love ya best of all

nadateturbe Thu 02-Feb-23 23:22:20

But let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye

Grandyma Thu 02-Feb-23 23:06:24

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black

Caleo Thu 02-Feb-23 22:48:03

Black is the color of my true love's hair
His face so soft and wondrous fair
The purest eyes
And the strongest hands
I love the ground on where he stands
I love the ground on where he stands

SachaMac Thu 02-Feb-23 22:32:23

I've seen people turn their heads
And quickly look away
Like a newborn baby
It just happens everyday
I look inside myself
And see my heart is black
I see my red door
I must have it painted black

crazyH Thu 02-Feb-23 22:18:31

Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn king
Peace on earth and …….

Caleo Thu 02-Feb-23 21:14:48

Hark, hark! The lark at heaven's gate sings,
And Phoebus 'gins arise,
His steeds to water at those springs
On chalic'd flowers that lies;
And winking Mary-buds begin
To ope their golden eyes;
With everything that pretty is,
My lady sweet, arise:
Arise, arise!

dayvidg Thu 02-Feb-23 21:10:30

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Caleo Thu 02-Feb-23 20:19:32

A fair summer's morning on soft recreation,
I heard a fair lady a-making great moan,
With sighing and sobbing and sad lamentation,
A-saying, “My blackbird most royal has flown.
My thoughts they deceive me; reflections do grieve me,
And I am o'erburdened with sad misery.
Yet if death it should blind me, as true love inclines me,
My blackbird I'll seek out wherever he be.

Grandyma Thu 02-Feb-23 18:59:39

No one here can love or understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Pack up all my cares and woe, here I go, winging low
Bye, bye, blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Bye, bye, blackbird
No one here can love or understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light, I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye, bye

LadyHonoriaDedlock Thu 02-Feb-23 16:51:18

Clouds so swift and rain fallin' in
Gonna see a movie called Gunga Din
Pack up your money, pull up your tent, McGuinn
You ain't goin' nowhere.

dayvidg Thu 02-Feb-23 16:06:02

Take off your hat; kick off your shoes.
I know you ain't goin' anywhere.
Run 'round the town, singin' your blues.
I know you ain't goin' anywhere.
You've always been a good friend of mine,
But you're always sayin' farewell.
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well.

Grandyma Thu 02-Feb-23 13:51:21

Stay away from my window
Stay away from my back door too
Disconnect the telephone line
Relax baby and draw that blind
Kick off your shoes and sit right down
Loosen off that pretty french gown
Let me pour you a good long drink
Ooh baby, don't you hesitate 'cause
Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
'Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

pandapatch Thu 02-Feb-23 13:19:21

LadyHonoriaDedlock, I saw The River back there, one of my favourites along with Sound of Silence

And the kids round here look just like shadows
Always quiet, holding hands
From the churches to the jails
Tonight all is silence in the world
As we take our stand
Down in Jungleland
