Hello 👋 where is everyone?
Apologies if anyone else has started a new song lyrics thread, I can't see it.

We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way,
Oh yes, we've just begun.

There's a house with no door, I'm living there
At nights it gets cold
And the days are hard to bear inside.
There's a house with no roof, so the rain creeps in,
Falling through my head, as I try to think out time.
I don't know you, you say you know me,
That may be so
There's so much that I am unsure of
You call my name, but it sounds unreal,
I forget how I feel, my body's rejecting the cure.

There is a house in New Orleans
They call The Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a trump
Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the house of The Rising Sun

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
And you, of tender years
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by
And so please help them with your youth
They seek the truth before they can die

Grandyma Sun 20-Oct-24 23:26:10

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me

Oh, breaking up is so very hard to do
If you really love him, and there's nothing I can do
Don't try to spare my feelings, just tell me that we're through
And make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself
'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do

Grandyma Tue 22-Oct-24 23:35:15

Baby when we break up from a quarrel or a fight
I can't wait to have you back and hold you, oh, so tight
Tell me why, I wanna know, tell me why, is it so
That the best part of breaking up is when you're making up
Best part of breaking up is when you're making up
But after breaking up be sure you're making up with me

dayvidg Wed 23-Oct-24 11:38:17

Sailin' heart ships through broken harbors
Out on the waves in the night
Still the searcher must ride the dark horse
Racing alone in his fright
Tell me why
Tell me why
Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself
When you're old enough to repay
But young enough to sell?

Grandyma Wed 23-Oct-24 16:30:57

Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
Well, I gave you everything I had
But you left me sitting on my own
Did you have to treat me oh, so bad?
All I do is hang my head and moan
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
If there's something I have said or done
Tell me what and I'll apologize
If you don't, I really can't go on
Holding back these tears in my eyes

dayvidg Thu 24-Oct-24 13:23:57

Holding back the years
Chance for me to escape from all I know
Holding back the tears
'Cause nothing here has grown
I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
Nothing had the chance to be good
Nothing ever could, yeah
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on, so tight

Grandyma Sun 27-Oct-24 16:31:45

Baby, I wish you'd help me escape
Help me get away
Leave me outside my address
Far away from this masquerade

'Cause I've been blind, oh, so blind
I wasted time, wasted, wasted, all too much time
Walkin' on the wire, high wire
But I must let the show go
I must let the show go
I must let the show go on

dayvidg Tue 29-Oct-24 14:36:41

Help me
I think I'm falling
In love again
When I get that crazy feeling
I know I'm in trouble again
I'm in trouble
'Cause you're a rambler and a gambler
And a sweet taIking ladies man
And you love your lovin'
But not like you love your freedom

Grandyma Wed 30-Oct-24 10:11:35

They call me a moonlight gambler
I've gambled for love and lost
When I gamble for love and it isn't in the cards
Oh, what heartaches it can cost me
Win or lose, I'm a moonlight gambler
And a winner is what I long to be
So I'll gamble for love just as long as I live
Till the day Lady Luck smiles at me

dayvidg Thu 31-Oct-24 16:19:08

Did you hear about the midnight rambler?
Everybody got to go
Did you hear about the midnight rambler
The one that shut the kitchen door?
He don't give a hoot of a warning
Wrapped up in a black-cat cloak
He don't go in the light of the morning
He split the time the cock will crow
Talkin' about the midnight gambler
The one you never seen before
Yeah, talkin' about the midnight gambler
Did you see him jump the garden wall?
Sighin' down the wind so sadly
Listen, and you'll hear him moan
Yeah, well, I'm talkin' about the midnight gambler
Everybody got to go

Grandyma Fri 01-Nov-24 22:39:05

When a deep purple falls
Over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to twinkle in the night
In the mist of the memory
You wander on back to me
Breathin' my name with a sigh
In the still of the night
Once again I hold you tight
Though you're gone, your love lives on when moonlight beams
And as long as my heart will beat
Sweet lover, we'll always meet
Here in a deep purple dream

dayvidg Sat 02-Nov-24 17:09:22

Listen to the wind on the water
Listen to the waves upon the shore
Try to sleep, sleep won't come
Just as I begin to fade
Then I remember
When the moon was full and bright
I would take you in the darkness
Doin' the tango in the night
Tango
I keep the dream in my pocket
Never let it fade away
Inside, outside
No loneliness in this dream
Then I remember
When the moon was full and bright
I would take you in the darkness
And do the tango in the night
Tango

Grandyma Sun 03-Nov-24 09:54:32

Listen to the wind blow, watch the sun rise
Running in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain (never break the chain)
And if you don't love me now (you don't love me now)
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying (still hear you saying)
You would never break the chain (never break the chain)

crazyH Sun 03-Nov-24 10:29:28

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain,
telling me just what a fool I've been.
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
and let me be alone again.

dayvidg Sun 03-Nov-24 13:56:03

Yeah, said it's all right
I won't forget
All the times I've waited patiently for you
And you'll do just what you choose to do
And I will be alone again tonight my dear
Yeah, I heard a funny thing
Somebody said to me
You know that I could be in love with almost everyone
I think that people are
The greatest fun
And I will be alone again tonight my dear

Grandyma Tue 05-Nov-24 09:56:30

In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off
In an effort to
Make it clear to whoever
Wants to know what it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Were people saying, My God, that's tough
She stood him up
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally

crazyH Tue 05-Nov-24 10:26:39

O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds thy hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed:
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art! How great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art! How great thou art!

dayvidg Tue 05-Nov-24 16:41:57

Consider yourself at home
Consider yourself one of the family
I've taken to you so strong
It's clear we're going to get along
Consider yourself well in
Consider yourself part of the furniture
There isn't a lot to spare
Who cares? Whatever we've got, we share

Grandyma Tue 05-Nov-24 18:00:25

Aha, hmm, I'm gonna get along without you now
I got along without you before I met you
Gonna get along without you now
Thought I'd find somebody who is twice as cute
'Cause I didn't like you anyhow
You told everybody that we were friends
But this is where our friendship ends
'Cause all of a sudden you change your tune
You haven't been around since way last June

dayvidg Thu 07-Nov-24 12:29:07

We were fools you and I
Now we know it
We stood still as the days moved along
Love was ours but our eyes didn't show it
Suddenly we can see we were wrong
All of a sudden this world's yours and mine
All of a sudden water tastes like wine
Now every moment there are songs to sing
All of a sudden everything
Let's not talk of all the times we've been lonely
But let us speak of the times we will know
From today I will live for you only
Wish I'd said all these things long ago

crazyH Thu 07-Nov-24 15:31:34

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you, my love, my heart above my head
Though I see the danger there
If there's a chance for me, then I don't care
Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love
So how are they to know
When we met, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in

Grandyma Thu 07-Nov-24 16:23:12

… Fool if you think it's over
'Cause you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over
I'll tell you why
New born eyes always cry with pain
At the first look at the mornin' sun
Fool if you think it's over
It's just begun
… Miss Teenage Dream, such a tragic scene
He knocked your crown and ran away
First wound of pride, and how you cried and cried
But save your tears, got years and years
