When you're near
There's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Ev'ry time we say goodbye

Grannmarie Sun 14-Sept-25 19:53:27

Train whistle blowin'
Makes a sleepy noise
Underneath the blankets
Go all the girls and boys
Rockin', rollin', ridin',
Out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown
Many miles away.

Grandyma Sun 14-Sept-25 20:00:58

… I hear the train a comin', it's rolling 'round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone
… When I was just a baby my mama told me, son
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry
… I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But those people keep a-movin'
And that's what tortures me

Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
What's all these crazy questions they're askin' me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don't turn on the lights 'cause I don't wanna see
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun, no (uh-uh)

Grandyma Mon 15-Sept-25 10:19:52

I've been cheated by you since I don't know when
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I don't know how, but I suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul
and I can hear a bell ring
(One more look) and I forget everything, whoa
Mamma mia, here I go again
My, my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My, my, just how much I've missed you?
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My, my, I could never let you go

Grannmarie Tue 16-Sept-25 22:43:05

I'll never let you go
Why? Because I love you.
I'll always love you so
Why? Because you love me.
No broken hearts for us
Cos we love each other
And with our faith and trust
There could be no other
Why? Cos I love you
Why? Cos you love me too...

Grandyma Wed 17-Sept-25 11:42:15

Where do broken hearts go?
Can they find their way home
Back to the open arms
Of a love that's waiting there?
And if somebody loves you
Won't they always love you?
I look in your eyes
And I know that you still care, for me (ooh, baby)
I've been around enough to know
That dreams don't turn to gold
And that there is no easy way
No, you just can't run away
And what we had was so much more
Than we ever had before
And no matter how I try
You're always on my mind

dayvidg Fri 19-Sept-25 15:00:23

Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
And maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
If I made you feel second best
Girl, I'm sorry I was blind
But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Grandyma Sat 20-Sept-25 18:31:48

In my mind I'm going to Carolina. Can't you see the sunshine, can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind? Yes, I'm going to Carolina in my mind.

Dark and silent late last night, I think I might have heard the highway calling.
Geese in flight and dogs that bite.
And signs that might be omens say I'm going, going I'm gone to Carolina in my mind.

Now with a holy host of others standing round me, still I'm on the dark side of the moon.
And it seems like it goes on like this forever, you must forgive me
if I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind.

In my mind I'm going to Carolina. Can't you see the sunshine, can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind? Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind.
Gotta make it back home again soon, gotta make it back on home again soon,
gotta make it back to Carolina soon, can't hang around, no babe, gotta make it back home again,
gotta make it back to Carolina soon...

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day, the paperboy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Grandyma Sat 20-Sept-25 23:54:50

Just outside a lunatic asylum,
I was picking up some stones.
When along came a man and he said to me,
"Good morning, Mister Jones,
"How much a week do you get for doing that"?
"Thirty bob." I sighed,
He looked at me and shook his head,
And this is what he cried;

"Come inside, you silly b*****, come inside!
I thought you had more sense.
Working for a living? Take my tip,
Act a little silly and become a lunatic!
For you get your meals quite regular,
And two new suits beside.
Thirty bob a week and your wife and kids to keep.
Come inside you silly b*** come inside!"

Grannmarie Sat 20-Sept-25 23:54:53

Let's go for a little walk
Under the moon of love
Let's sit right down and talk
Under the moon of love
I wanna tell you
That I love you
And I want you to be my girl
Little darling let's walk, let's talk
Under the moon of love.

dayvidg Sun 21-Sept-25 16:44:48

And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Because you're so smooth
And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Oh, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it

Grandyma Mon 22-Sept-25 11:41:16

Annie, are you okay?
Will you tell us that you're okay?
There's a sign in the window
That he struck you - a crescendo, Annie
He came into your apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay?
Are you okay, Annie?
You've been hit by
You've been hit by a smooth criminal
Ow!

dayvidg Mon 22-Sept-25 17:40:31

Bring the boys back home
Bring the boys back home
Don't leave the children on their own, no, no
Bring the boys back home

Wrong, do it again
Time to go
Are you feeling okay?
There's a man answering, but he keeps hanging up

Is there anybody out there?

Grandyma Tue 30-Sept-25 13:59:29

Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry
Still you don't regret a single day
Ah, girl
Girl, girl
When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her
She will turn to me and start to cry
And she promises the earth to me and I believe her
After all this time I don't know why

Grannmarie Tue 30-Sept-25 18:23:05

Young girl, get outta my mind
My love for you is way put of line
Better run girl
You're much too young, girl

dayvidg Tue 30-Sept-25 22:36:14

There must be some way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line
Know what any of it is worth

Grandyma Wed 01-Oct-25 23:50:07

Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the preacher
And it seems nobody's interested in learning but the teacher
Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration
Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation
Ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today

dayvidg Thu 02-Oct-25 15:03:15

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some, but for everyone
Lord, we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last 'til the end of time

Grandyma Sat 04-Oct-25 23:06:13

Climb ev’ry mountain,
Search high and low,
Follow ev’ry byway,
Every path you know.

Climb ev’ry mountain,
Ford ev’ry stream,
Follow ev’ry rainbow
Till you find your dream.

A dream that will need all the love you can give
Ev’ry day of your life for as long as you live.

dayvidg Sun 05-Oct-25 14:26:47

Here I am
And within the reach of my hands
She's sound asleep
And she's sweeter now than the wildest dream
Could've seen her
And I watch her slipping away

But I know I'll be hunting high and low, high
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
Hunting high and low, high
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to

Grandyma Mon 06-Oct-25 15:45:47

Like a fool, I went and stayed too long
Now I'm wondering if your love's still strong
Ooh, baby, here I am
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!
Then that time I went and said goodbye
Now I'm back and not ashamed to cry
Ooh, baby, here I am
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!

dayvidg Mon 06-Oct-25 15:58:52

Oh, why you look so sad, the tears are in your eyes,
Come on and come to me now, and don't be ashamed to cry,
Let me see you through, 'cause I've seen the dark side too.
When the night falls on you, you don't know what to do,
Nothing you confess could make me love you less,

I'll stand by you,
I'll stand by you,
Won't let nobody hurt you,
I'll stand by you

Grannmarie Mon 06-Oct-25 16:29:33

I can see her lying back in her satin dress
In a room where you do what you don't confess
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you've been hanging round my back stair
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you've been hanging round my back stair.

Grandyma Tue 07-Oct-25 10:59:11

I heard that front door closing softly
As I awakened from my sleep
With the soft touch of her kips, Lord
Like a whisper on my cheek

And I cursed the sun for risin'
For the worst, Lord, was yet to come
'Cause this morning, she's just leavin'
But, come sundown, she'll be gone
