More song lyrics 8

Through the windswept coastal trees
Where the dead come rising from the sea
With a teddy-bear clamped between her knees
She says, where can my loverman be?
Well, I'm down here, babe, with the Eskimos
With the polar bears and the Arctic snow
With a party of penguins who do not know
How I can get back to thee
Well I'm gonna ask you, babe

Little ditty about Jack and Dianne
Two American kids growing up in the heartland
Jackie going be a football star
Diannes debutante backseat of Jackie's car

Tucking on a chilli dog
Outside the Tasty Freez
Diannes sitting on Jackie's lap
He's got his hands between her knees
Jackie says , hey Dianne
Let's run off behind a shady tree
Dribble off those Bobby Brooks
Let me do what I please
Say a

Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of living has gone
Say a
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of living has gone
They walk on

Have you seen the Jack-in-the-Green?
With his long tail hanging down.
He quietly sits under every tree
In the folds of his velvet gown.
He drinks from the empty acorn cup.
The dew that dawn sweetly bestows.
And taps his cane upon the ground -
Signals the snow drops, it's time to grow
It's no fun being Jack-in-the-Green:
No place to dance, no time for song.
He wears the colours of the summer soldier;
And carries the green flag all the winter long.
Jack do you never sleep - does the green still run deep in your heart?
Or will these changing times, motorways, powerlines, keep us apart?
Well, I don't think so.
I saw some grass growing through the pavements today.

… You hear me so clearly
And see how I try
You feel me, so heal me
And tear me apart
… And I won't tell a soul
I won't tell at all
And do they have to know (do they have to know)
About my goodnight girl
… Caught up in your wishing well
Your hopes inside it
Take your love and promises
And make them last
You make them last (make them last, make them last)
… You keep me so near you
And see me so far
And hold me and send me
And deep in your heart

There is a well
Down by the hollow
Its waters deep
As they can be
Thousands come
And millions follow
All to see
What they could see
Now some see light
And some see violence
Some see might
And some see flow
But all see truth
Deep down in silence
As they pass the booth
Where the tickets go
I am the well
I am the well

… You saw me standing by the wall,
Corner of a main street,
And the lights are flashing on your window sill.
All alone ain't much fun,
So you're looking for the thrill,
And you know just what it takes and where to go.
… Don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
… Feel the breeze deep on the inside,
Look you down into your well,
If you can, you'll see the world in all his fire,
Take a chance,
Like all dreamers can't find another way,
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day

Oh mother say a prayer for me
Jesse's back in town it won't be easy
Don't let him near me
Don't let him touch me
Don't let him please me

Jesse I won't cut fresh flowers for you
Jesse I won't make the wine for you
Jesse I won't change the sheets for you
I won't put on cologne
I won't sit by the phone for you

Let's all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before your mother was born
Though she was born a long long time ago
Your mother should know (your mother should)
Your mother should know

Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Anyway, you'll never know
The many ways I've tried
And still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man
How many seas must the white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

How much do I love you?
I'll tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?
How many times a day do I think of you?
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?
How far would I travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
From here to a star?
And if I ever lost you
How much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love,then you softly leave
And it's me you need to shoe
How deep is your love

How deep is your love How deep is your love
I really mean to learn
Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breakin us down
When they all should be letting us be
We belong to you and me

See the curtains hanging in the window
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light a-shining through the window
Lets me know everything's all right

Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind

Everybody's talkin' at me
I don't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
People stoppin', starin'
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin' off of the northeast winds
Sailin' on a summer breeze
And skippin' over the ocean like a stone

Walk right in sit right down baby let your hair hang down
Walk right in sit right down baby let your hair hang down
Everybody's talking about a new way of walking
Do you want to loose your mind
Walk right in sit right down baby let your hair hang down

You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant
You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant
Walk right in, it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant

Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find a party that tried to get in touch with me
She did not leave a number but I know who placed the call
'Cause my uncle took a message and he wrote it on the wall
Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd call me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the south side, high upon a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge

I'm going to Graceland
Memphis Tennessee, I'm going to Graceland
Poor boys and pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland

And my travelling companions are ghosts and empty sockets
I'm looking at ghosts and empties
But I've reason to believe
We will all be recieved in Graceland

Well, I'm a gonna get on that ol' turnpike and I'm gonna ride
I'm a gonna leave this town till you decide
Which one you want the most them Opry stars or me
Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee.
Milwaukee is a-where we were before we came here
Workin' in a bruerry making the finest beer
You come to me on payday night said let's go to Tennessee
So we came down to Nashville to the Grand Ole Opry.

It's late and she is waiting and I know I must go home
But every time I start to leave they play another song
Then someone buys another round and whatever drinks are free
What's made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me

Baby's begged me not to go so many times before
She said love and happiness can't live behind those swinging doors
Now's she's gone and I'm to blame too late I finally see
What's made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me

When I woke up the rain was pouring down
There were people standing all around
Something warm running through my eyes
But somehow I found my baby that night
I lifted her head and she looked at me and said
Hold me darling just a little while
I held her close I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I would miss
But now she's gone even though I hold her tight
I lost my love,my life that night

Hold me close don't let me go, oh no
I, yes, I love you and I think that you know
Do you know?
With your love light shining
Every cloud's got a silver lining
So hold me close, don't let me go

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper I love you
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me.

Say Nightie night and kiss me
Just hold me close and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me.

And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothings gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothings gonna stop us
Nothings gonna stop us now
Oh , whoa

If you wake up and don't want to smile
If it takes just a little while
Open your eyes and look at the day
You'll see things in a different way

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be, better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
