The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where?
Who knows when?
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy
He's my brother.
Henry Nowak…….an absolute tragedy.

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.
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where?
Who knows when?
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy
He's my brother.
Through the fields of destruction
Baptism of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battle raged high
And though they did hurt me bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brother's in arms
Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today, yeah
Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Daddy daddy come and look
And see what I have found
A little way away from here
While digging in the ground
Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
It's nothing but a picture book
They had before the war
Daddy, daddy, come and see
Daddy, come and look
Why there's four or five
Little Melinda girls
Inside my picture book
Come away, Melinda
Come in and close the door
There were lots of little girls like you
Before they had the war
Oh daddy, daddy, come and see
Daddy, hurry do
Why, there's someone in a pretty dress
She's all grown up like you
Won't you tell me, why?
Come away, Melinda
Come in and close the door
That someone is your mummy
You had before the war
Daddy, daddy, tell me if you can
Why can't things be
The way they were
Before the war began?
Come away, Melinda
Come in and close the door
The answer lies in yesterday
Before they had the war
Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they here to stay
Oh I believe in Yesterday
Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh Yesterday came Suddenly
Me and my shadow, strolling down the avenue
Me and my shadow, not a soul to tell our troubles to
And when it's 12 o'clock we climb the stair
We never knock 'cos nobody's there
Just me and my shadow, all alone and feeling blue
Where do you go when you're lost?
Is it up? Is it down? Is it here?
And what do you see in the dark?
Is it real? Is it me? Are you scared?
Do you believe in yourself?
Are you good? Are you bad? Are you there?
And can you confess to the morning light?
And be true, what to do
When it's you, feelin' blue
When it's you, feelin' blue
When I'm feelin' blue
All I have to do
Is take a look at you
Then I'm not so blue
When you're close to me
I can feel your heart beat
I can hear you breathing in my ear
Wouldn't you agree?
Baby, you and me got a groovy kind of love
Anytime you want to, you can turn me on to
Anything you want to, anytime at all
When I kiss your lips
Ooh, I start to shiver
Can't control the quivering inside
Wouldn't you agree?
Baby, you and me got a groovy kind of love
Slow down you move too fast
Just got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feeling groovy
Feeling groovy
Hello lamppost, what you knowing
I've come to watch your flowers growing
Ain't you got no rhymes for me
Do Do Do feeling groovy
Feeling groovy
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain
Making the garden grow
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain
Keeping me cool
Rain falls from above and splashes on the ground
Goes running down the mountain to the sea
And leaping over pebbles makes such a joyful sound
Such as mothers nature meant to be
Damn the dam cried the fantasy
As he flew into as he flew into the sky
To give power to the people
All this beauty has to die
fantastic not fantasy !!!
Fantail !!!!!!
Say you want a revolution
We better get on right away
Well you get on your feet
And out on the street
Singing power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on
A million workers working for nothing
You better give 'em what they really own
We got to put you down
When we come into town
Singing power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on
Zoo time is she and you time
The mammals are your favourite type, and you want her tonight
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants and tacky tigers
This town ain't big enough for the both of us!
And it ain't me who's gonna leave!
Heartbeat
Why do you miss when my baby kisses me?
Heartbeat
Why does a love kiss stay in my memory?
Piddly pat
I know that new love thrills me
I know that true love will be
Heartbeat
Why do you miss when my baby kisses me?
Heartbeat
Why do you skip when my baby's lips meet mine?
Heartbeat
Why do you flip and give me a skip each sign?
Piddly pat
And sing to me love's story
And bring to me love's glory
I don't know
I don't know which side I'm on
I don't know my right from left
Or my right from wrong
Say I'm a fool
Say I'm nothing
But if I'm a fool for you
Oh that's something
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts
Even my friends say to me sometimes
I make out like I don't understand them
You know what they say?
They say, "Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why."
I'm a fool baby
I'm a fool baby
I'm a certified fool
I want to tell ya
Gotta tell ya, baby
I'm a fool to want you
I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too
I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss that devil has known
Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
But then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I'd have to say
Take me back, I love you
It hit me, I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along
Without you
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait , without you
With or without you
With or without you
My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, babe
And as I go my way alone
I find it hard for me to carry on
I need your strength, I need your tender touch
I need the love, my dear, I miss so much
My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, babe
You know I've seen alot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you sad girl Don't be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave , take good care
Hope you make alot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's alot of bad and beware beware
Oh baby baby , it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl
Ah, take good care of my baby
Now don't you ever make her cry
Just let your love surround her
Paint rainbows all around her
Don't let her see a cloudy sky
Once upon a time
That little girl was mine
If I'd been true
I know she'd never be with you
So take good care of my baby
Be just as kind as you can be
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then oh why can't I
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I
I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow what it means
And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
I wish on all the people who really dream
And I'm wishing on tomorrow, praying it'll come
And I'm wishing on all the lovin' we've ever done
