By Chaya A.

My throat feels tight,
My eyes are about to burst, but I wont let them spill,
I wont, I can’t,
So I look up at the birds soaring high into the distance,
At the silky horizon where the sky meets the sea,
An ocean of undiscovered beauty,
A world too big for me;
A world I sometimes feel is shutting me out.

Sometimes I wish I could fly into it,
Fly into the star cloaked sky,
High Beyond the heavens,
Staring into a golden glittering sun,
A vast ocean sea,
Just to fly into it.
Brushing away sorrows onto the clouds,
Throwing broken hearts on the back of eagle’s wings.

Hurling all my worries,
My pain,
My past,
Into the depths of the sea.
Showing the word what I truly am
Showing these people I don’t need them to live,
But then suddenly they come,
Every single one of them,
The forgotten memories,
The times we smiled,
The times we laughed,
The times they remembered I was a person too.
The times I had forgotten to be thankful for.
The times I never had to feel like I was alone.

Then they begin to fly beside me,
Their lights shining in the darkness of the sky.
Swarming all around me as they begin to turn,
Collecting my anguish, my pain, my past,
Collecting broken hearts and sorrows off a passing cloud.
We fly carrying the heavy burdens beside us,
We fly together.

But as we fly further and further they slowly begin to disappear,
Each one evaporating into nothingness
And I feel it getting lighter and lighter.
Soon they are all gone, I smile,
As I look behind me one last time
At an ocean of the past.
And as I look ahead into an ocean of the future
I remember that
Although some wounds can never naturally be healed,
Love will make them fade.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

      Long Way To The Top
      - By AC/DC

      Ridin' down the highway
      Goin' to a show
      Stop in all the by-ways
      Playin' rock 'n' roll
      Gettin' robbed
      Gettin' stoned
      Gettin' beat up
      Broken boned
      Gettin' had
      Gettin' took
      I tell you folks
      It's harder than it looks

      It's a long way to the top
      If you wanna rock 'n' roll
      It's a long way to the top
      If you wanna rock 'n' roll
      If you think it's easy doin' one night stands
      Try playin' in a rock roll band
      It's a long way to the top
      If you wanna rock 'n' roll

      Hotel, motel
      Make you wanna cry
      Lady do the hard sell
      Know the reason why
      Gettin' old
      Gettin' grey
      Gettin' ripped off
      Under-paid
      Gettin' sold
      Second hand
      That's how it goes
      Playin' in a band

      It's a long way to the top
      If you wanna rock 'n' roll
      It's a long way to the top
      If you wanna rock 'n' roll
      If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
      Look out it's rough and mean
      It's a long way to the top
      If you wanna rock 'n' roll

        Born To Be Wild
        - By Steppenwolf

        Get your motor runnin'
        Head out on the highway
        Lookin' for adventure
        And whatever comes our way
        Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
        Take the world in a love embrace
        Fire all of your guns at once
        And explode into space

        I like smoke and lightning
        Heavy metal thunder
        Racin' with the wind
        And the feelin' that I'm under
        Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
        Take the world in a love embrace
        Fire all of your guns at once
        And explode into space

        Like a true nature's child
        We were born, born to be wild
        We can climb so high
        I never wanna die

        Born to be wild
        Born to be wild

          Turn The Page
          - By Bob Seger


          On a long and lonesome highway
          East of Omaha
          You can listen to the engine
          Moanin' out his one note song
          You can think about the woman
          Or the girl you knew the night before
          But your thoughts will soon be wandering
          The way they always do
          When you're ridin' sixteen hours
          And there's nothin' much to do
          And you don't feel much like ridin',
          You just wish the trip was through

          Here I am
          On the road again
          There I am
          Up on the stage
          Here I go
          Playin' star again
          There I go
          Turn the page

          Well you walk into a restaurant,
          Strung out from the road
          And you feel the eyes upon you
          As you're shakin' off the cold
          You pretend it doesn't bother you
          But you just want to explode

          Most times you can't hear 'em talk,
          Other times you can
          All the same old cliches,
          "Is that a woman or a man?"
          And you always seem outnumbered,
          You don't dare make a stand

          Here I am
          On the road again
          There I am
          Up on the stage
          Here I go
          Playin' star again
          There I go
          Turn the page

          Out there in the spotlight
          You're a million miles away
          Every ounce of energy
          You try to give away
          As the sweat pours out your body
          Like the music that you play

          Later in the evening
          As you lie awake in bed
          With the echoes from the amplifiers
          Ringin' in your head
          You smoke the day's last cigarette,
          Rememberin' what she said

          Here I am
          On the road again
          There I am
          Up on the stage
          Here I go
          Playin' star again
          There I go
          Turn the page
          Here I am
          On the road again

      Five Years
      - By David Bowie

      Pushing through the market square, so many mothers sighing
      News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
      News guy wept when he told us earth was really dying
      Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying
      I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
      I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TV's

      My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
      I had to cram so manythings to store everything in there
      And all the fat-skinny peole and all the tall-short people
      All the nobody people and all the somebody people I never thought I'd need so many people

      A girl my age went of her head, hit some tiny children
      If the black handn't a-pulled her off I think she would have killed them
      A soldier with a broken arm fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
      A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest And a queer threw up at the sight of that
      I think I saw you in an ice cream parlor drinking milk shakes cold and long
      Smiling and waving and looking so fine
      Don't think you knew you were in this song
      And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
      And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there Your face, your race, the way that you talk I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk

      We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
      Five years, what a surprise
      We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
      Five years, that's all we've got
      We've got five years, what a surprise
      Five years, stuck on my eyes
      We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
      Five years, that's all we've got
      We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
      Five years, what a surprise
      We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
      Five years, that's all we've got
      We've got five years, what a surprise
      We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
      We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
      Five years, that's all we've got
      Five years
      Five years
      Five years
      Five years

        Simple Man
        - By Lynyrd Skynyrd

        Mama told me when I was young
        Come sit beside me, my only son
        And listen closely to what I say.
        And if you do this
        It will help you some sunny day.
        Take your time... Don't live too fast,
        Troubles will come and they will pass.
        Go find a woman and you'll find love,
        And don't forget son,
        There is someone up above.

        (Chorus)
        And be a simple kind of man.
        Be something you love and understand.
        Be a simple kind of man.
        Won't you do this for me son,
        If you can?

        Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
        All that you need is in your soul,
        And you can do this if you try.
        All that I want for you my son,
        Is to be satisfied.

        (Chorus)

        Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
        Follow you heart and nothing else.
        And you can do this if you try.
        All I want for you my son,
        Is to be satisfied.

        (Chorus)

          Would you still remember me
          For I must be traveling on now
          'Cause there's too many places I've got to see

          But if I stayed here with you,GIRL
          Things just couldn't be the same
          'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
          And this bird you cannot change

          Lord knows I can’t change

          Bye bye, baby, it's been a sweet love, yeah, yeah
          Though this feeling I can't change
          But please don't take it so badly
          'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame

          But if I stay here with you, GIRL
          Things just couldn't be the same
          Cause I'm as free as a bird now
          And this bird you never change

          Ohohohohohhhhh
          And the bird you cannot change
          And this bird you cannot change
          Lord knows I can't change
          Lord help me I can't change
          Lord I can't change,
          Won't you fly high, Free Bird, yeah

              Sweet Child O'Mine
              - By Guns.N.Roses

              She's got a smile that it seems to me
              Reminds me of childhood memories
              Where everything
              Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
              Now and then when I see her face
              She takes me away to that special place
              And if I'd stare too long
              I'd probably break down and cry


              Sweet child o' mine
              Sweet love of mine


              She's got eyes of the bluest skies
              As if they thought of rain
              I hate to look into those eyes
              And see an ounce of pain
              Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
              Where as a child I'd hide
              And pray for the thunder
              And the rain
              To quietly pass me by


              Sweet child o' mine
              Sweet love of mine


              Where do we go
              Where do we go now
              Where do we go
              Sweet child o' mine

      The shadow of your smile

      Will color all my dreams
      And light the dawn
      Look into my eyes, my love, and see
      All the lovely things you are to me
      A wistful little star
      Was far too high
      A tear drop kissed your lips and so did I
      Now when I remember spring
      All the joy that love can bring
      I will be remembering
      The shadow of your smile
      Now when I remember spring
      All the love that joy can bring
      I will be remembering

        As Time Goes By
        - By Dexter Gordon/Billie Holiday

        You must remember this
        A kiss is still a kiss
        A sigh is just a sigh
        The fundamental things apply
        As time goes by

        And when two lovers woo
        They still say, I love you
        On this you can rely
        No matter what the future brings
        As time goes by

        Moonlight and love songs
        Never out of date
        Hearts full of passion
        Jealousy and hate
        Woman needs man
        And man must have his mate
        On this you can deny

        It's still the same old story
        A fight for love and glory
        A case of do or die
        The world will always welcome lovers
        As time goes by

        Moonlight and love songs
        Never out of date
        Hearts full of passion
        Jealousy and hate
        Woman needs man
        And man must have his mate
        On this you can deny

        You must remember this
        A kiss is still a kiss
        A sigh is just a sigh
        The fundamental things apply

      What a life I lead in the summer
      What a life I lead in the spring
      What a life I lead in the winded breeze
      What a life I lead in the spring

      What a life I lead when the sun breaks free
      As a giant torn from the clouds
      What a life indeed when that ancient seed
      Is a berry watered and plowed

      What a life
      What a life
      What a life
      What a life

      What a life I lead in the summer
      What a life I lead in the spring
      What a life I lead in the winded breeze
      What a life I lead in the spring

      Light up with me my dear,
      Light up.
      Under stormy night, tell nobody.

      My brother where do you intend to go tonight?
      I heard that you missed your connecting flight,
      to the blue ridge mountains, over near Tennessee.

      You're ever welcome with me any time you like,
      Let's drive to the country side, leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes,
      So no one gets worried, no.
      So no one gets worried, no.

      But Sean don't get callous,
      I'm sure it'll be fine.
      I love you, I love you,
      Oh brother of mine.

      In the quivering forest,
      Where the shivering dog rests,
      I will do it grandfather,
      Wilt to wood and end.
      And the river got frozen,
      And the hole got snowed in,
      And near the moon glow ride,
      Till the morning light.

      Terrible am I child?
      Even if you don't mind,
      In the quivering forest,
      Where the shivering dog rests,
      I will do it grandfather,
      Wilt to wood and end.
      And the river got frozen,
      And the hole got snowed in,
      And near the moon glow ride,
      Till the morning light.

      Terrible am I child?
      Even if you don't mind,
      No

        I was following the pack
        All swallowed in their coats
        With scarves of red tied 'round their throats
        To keep their little heads
        From fallin' in the snow
        And I turned 'round and there you go
        And, Michael, you would fall
        And turn the white snow red as strawberries
        In the summertime...

      She's Gone
      Hall & Oates

      Everybody's high on consolation
      Everybody's trying to tell me what's right for me
      My daddy tried to bore me with a sermon
      but it's plain to see that they can't comfort me

      Sorry Charlie for the imposition
      I think I've got it, got the strength to carry on
      I need a drink and a quick decision
      Now it's up to me, ooh what will be

      Chorus:
      She's Gone Oh I, Oh I'd
      better learn how to face it
      She's Gone Oh I, Oh I'd
      pay the devil to replace her
      She's Gone - what went wrong

      Up in the morning look in the mirror
      I'm worn as her tooth brush hanging in the stand
      my face ain't looking any younger
      now I can see love's taken her toll on me

      She's Gone

      Think I'll spend eternity in the city
      let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away
      and pretty bodies help dissolve the memories
      but they can never be what she was to me

      She's Gone

      Won't you let me walk you home from school?
      Won't you let me meet you at the pool?
      Maybe Friday I can
      Get tickets for the dance
      And I'll take you.

      Won't you tell your dad, "Get off my back"?
      Tell him what we said about "Paint it, Black".
      Rock 'n Roll is here to stay
      Come inside where it's okay
      And I'll shake you.

      Won't you tell me what you're thinking of?
      Would you be an outlaw for my love?
      If it's so, well, let me know
      If it's "no," well, I can go
      I won't make you.

      Waterloo Sunset
      - By kinks /ELLIOTT SMITH

      Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
      Flowing into the night
      People so busy, makes me feel dizzy
      Taxi light shines so bright
      But I don't need no friends
      As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
      I am in paradise

      Every day I look at the world from my window
      But chilly, chilly is evening time
      Waterloo sunset's fine

      Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station
      Every Friday night
      But I am so lazy, don't want to wander
      I stay at home at night
      But I don't feel afraid
      As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
      I am in paradise

      Every day I look at the world from my window
      But chilly, chilly is evening time
      Waterloo sunset's fine

      Millions of people swarming like flies 'round Waterloo underground
      But Terry and Julie cross over the river
      Where they feel safe and sound
      And they don't need no friends
      As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset
      They are in paradise

      Waterloo sunset's fine

      Believe In Me
      - By Dan Fogelberg


      If I could ever say it right
      And reach your hostage heart
      Despite the doubts you harbor
      then you might
      Come to believe in me.

      The life I lead is not the kind
      That gives a woman peace of mind
      I only hope someday you'll find
      That you can believe in me.

      Those other loves that
      came before
      Mean nothing to me anymore
      But you can never be quite sure
      And will not believe in me.

      Too many hearts have been broken
      Failing to trust what they feel
      But trust isn't something
      that's spoken
      And love's never wrong
      when it's real.

      If I could only do one thing
      Then I would try to write and sing
      A song that ends your questioning
      And makes you believe in me.

      Too many hearts have been broken
      Failing to trust what they feel
      But trust isn't something
      that's spoken
      And love's never wrong
      when it's real.

      If I could only do one thing
      Then I would try to write and sing
      A song that ends your questioning
      And makes you believe in me
      Oh, you can believe in me.

        - Dan Fogelberg & Emmylou Harris

        Silent sea tell this to me
        Where are the children that we used to be..

        At picture shows where nobody goes
        And only the heart can see.

        Starry skies, soft lullabies
        Where do they go when their melodies die?
        To a day, far, far away
        That only the heart may know.

        Friends we knew
        Follow us through
        All of the days of our lives
        Love we shared
        Waits for us there
        Where our wishes forever reside.

        Falling tears memories' mirrors
        Where are summers oh, where are the years?

        Carried far to a wandering star
        That only the heart may know.

        Friends we knew

      All Star
      - By Smash Mouth

      Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
      I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
      She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
      In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

      Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
      Back to the rule and I hit the ground running
      Didn't make sense not to live for fun
      Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

      So much to do so much to see
      So what's wrong with taking the back streets
      You'll never know if you don't go
      You'll never shine if you don't glow

      [Chorus:]
      Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
      Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
      And all that glitters is gold
      Only shooting stars break the mold

      It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
      You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older
      But the meteor men beg to differ
      Judging by the hole in the satellite picture

      The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
      The waters getting warm so you might as well swim
      My world's on fire how about yours
      That's the way I like it and I never get bored

      [Repeat Chorus 2x]

      Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
      I need to get myself away from this place
      I said yep what a concept
      I could use a little fuel myself
      And we could all use a little change
      Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
      Back to the rule and I hit the ground running
      Didn't make sense not to live for fun
      Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
      So much to do so much to see
      So what's wrong with taking the back streets
      You'll never know if you don't go
      You'll never shine if you don't glow

      This Must be the Place (Naive Melody)
      - By Talking Heads


      Home is where I want to be
      Pick me up and turn me round
      I feel numb - born with a weak heart
      I guess I must be having fun
      The less we say about it the better
      Make it up as we go along
      Feet on the ground
      Head in the sky
      It's ok I know nothing's wrong . . nothing

      Hi yo I got plenty of time
      Hi yo you got light in your eyes
      And you're standing here beside me
      I love the passing of time
      Never for money
      Always for love
      Cover up and say goodnight . . . say goodnight

      Home - is where I want to be
      But I guess I'm already there
      I come home - she lifted up her wings
      Guess that this must be the place
      I can't tell one from another
      Did I find you, or you find me?
      There was a time Before we were born
      If someone asks, this is where I'll be . . . where I'll be

      Hi yo We drift in and out
      Hi yo sing into my mouth
      Out of all those kinds of people
      You got a face with a view
      I'm just an animal looking for a home
      Share the same space for a minute or two
      And you love me till my heart stops
      Love me till I'm dead
      Eyes that light up, eyes look through you
      Cover up the blank spots
      Hit me on the head Ah ooh

        You may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
        You may find yourself in another part of the world
        You may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
        You may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
        You may ask yourself: well... how did I get here?

        Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
        Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
        Into the blue again/after the money's gone
        Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground

        You may ask yourself
        How do I work this?

        There is water... at the bottom of the ocean
        Remove the water

        Into the blue again/after the money's gone
        Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground

        Into the blue again/into the silent water
        Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground
        Letting the days go by/into the silent water

      Shenandoah

      - By Bill Frisell/Sissel

      O Shenando' I long to hear you,
      Away, you rolling river
      O Shenando' I long to hear you
      Away, we're bound away, across the wide Missouri

      O Shenando' I long to see you
      Away you rolling river
      O Shenando' I long to see you
      Away, we're bound away, across the wide Missouri

      'Tis seven years since I have seen you
      To hear your rolling river
      O Shenando' I long to see you
      Away, we're bound away, across the wide Missouri

      O Shenando' I'll not forget you
      I'll dream of your clear waters
      O Shenando' you're in my mem'ry
      Away, we're bound away, across the wide Missouri

      歌曲Shenandoah 是一首美国西部经典民谣,来源于印第安语,意为 "Daughter of the
      Stars" (星星之女)，中文也译作“情人渡”.这首歌九世纪初起源于密西西比河和密苏里河
      流域之间。歌曲讲述了一位商人爱上了印第安族长Shenandoah的女儿。歌曲深受
      水手们喜欢，于是随着他们的航程相传。十九世纪四十年代前，第一次在美国广为
      流传。多少年来一直为人们所传唱。就是这首曲子，也有各种各样的版本，有合
      唱，清唱，也有更多的是乐队演奏的。
      Shenandoah是一条小河的名称，全长40英里，在美国滨州和乔治亚州的阿帕拉契山脉
      间。因为Shenandoah太有名，整个区域的国家公园也是以“Shenandoah”命名。
      Shenandoah NP 位于阿巴拉契亚山脉东支的顶端，起伏于崇山峻岭之间。
      阿巴拉契亚山脉是美国东部最主要的山脉，长约一千多公里，宽度一百到两百多公里，在大部分地段是几条平行的山脉的统称。阿巴拉契亚山脉上开辟有两个国家公
      园: 大烟雾山 (Great Smokey Mountain) 和 Shenandoah 国家公园，这也是美国东部各州中仅有的六个国家公园之中的两个.

      Vienna
      - By Billy Joel

      Slow down you crazy child
      You're so ambitious for a juvenile
      But then if you're so smart tell me why
      You are still so afraid?

      Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
      You better cool it off before you burn it out
      You got so much to do and only
      So many hours in a day

      But you know that when the truth is told
      That you can get what you want
      Or you an just get old
      You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
      When will you realize
      Vienna waits for you

      Slow down you're doing fine
      You can't be everything you want to be
      Before your time
      Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight
      Too bad but it's the life you lead
      You're so ahead of yourself
      That you forgot what you need
      Though you can see when you're wrong

      But you know you can't always see when you're right
      You got your passion you got your pride
      But don't you know only fools are satisfied?
      Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true
      When will you realize
      Vienna waits for you

      Slow down you crazy child
      Take the phone off the hook
      And disappeaar for a while
      It's alright you can afford to lose a day or two
      When will you realize
      Vienna waits for you.

      This is my winter song to you.
      The storm is coming soon,
      it rolls in from the sea

      My voice; a beacon in the night.
      My words will be your light,
      to carry you to me.

      Is love alive?
      Is love alive?
      Is love

      They say that things just cannot grow
      beneath the winter snow,
      or so I have been told.

      They say were buried far,
      just like a distant star
      I simply cannot hold.

      Is love alive?
      Is love alive?
      Is love alive?

      This is my winter song.
      December never felt so wrong,
      cause youre not where you belong;
      inside my arms.

      bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
      bum bum bum bum bum bum
      bum bum bum bum bum bum

      I still believe in summer days.
      The seasons always change
      and life will find a way.

      Ill be your harvester of light
      and send it out tonight
      so we can start again.

      Is love alive?
      Is love alive?
      Is love alive?

      This is my winter song.
      December never felt so wrong,
      cause you're not where you belong;
      inside my arms.

      This is my winter song to you.
      The storm is coming soon
      it rolls in from the sea.

      My love a beacon in the night.
      My words will be your light
      to carry you to me.

      Is love alive?
      Is love alive?
      Is love alive?
      Is love alive?
      Is love alive?
      Is love alive?

      The Water Is Wide
      - By Karla Bonoff

      The water is wide, I can't cross over
      And neither have I wings to fly
      Give me a boat that can carry two
      And both shall row, my love and I
      Oh love is gentle and love is kind
      The sweetest flower when first it's new
      but love grows old and waxes cold and fades away
      like morning dew
      There is a ship and she sails the sea
      She's loaded deep as deep can be
      But not as deep as the love I'm in
      I know not how I sink or swim
      The water is wide, I can't cross o'er
      And neither have I wings to fly
      Give me a boat that can carry two
      And both shall row, my love and I

      I feel so bad I got a worried mind
      I'm so lonesome all the time
      Since I left my baby behind
      On Blue Bayou

      Saving nickels saving dimes
      Working til the sun don't shine
      Looking forward to happier times
      On Blue Bayou

      I'm going back someday
      Come what may
      To Blue Bayou
      Where the folks are fine
      And the world is mine
      On Blue Bayou
      Where those fishing boats
      With their sails afloat
      If I could only see
      That familiar sunrise
      Through sleepy eyes
      How happy I'd be

      Gonna see my baby again
      Gonna be with some of my friends
      Maybe I'll feel better again
      On Blue Bayou

      Saving nickels saving dimes
      Working til the sun don't shine
      Looking forward to happier times
      On Blue Bayou

      I'm going back someday
      Come what may
      To Blue Bayou
      Where the folks are fine

      With their sails afloat
      If I could only see
      That familiar sunrise
      Through sleepy eyes
      How happy I'd be

      Oh that boy of mine
      By my side
      The silver moon
      And the evening tide
      Oh some sweet day
      Gonna take away
      This hurting inside
      Well I'll never be blue
      My dreams come true

        Hearts fall
        Swallowed in the rain

        Life grows

        Wandering in the winter light
        The wicked and the sane
        Bear witness to salvation
        And life starts over again

        Aah aah
        Love's shadow will surround you
        All through the night

        Star glowing in the twilight
        Tell me true
        Hope whispers and I will follow

      Almost Lover
      - By A Fine Frenzy

      Your fingertips across my skin
      The palm trees swaying in the wind
      Images

      You sang me Spanish lullabies
      The sweetest sadness in your eyes
      Clever trick

      I never want to see you unhappy
      I thought you'd want the same for me

      Goodbye, my almost lover
      Goodbye, my hopeless dream
      I'm trying not to think about you
      Can't you just let me be?
      So long, my luckless romance
      My back is turned on you
      I should've known you'd bring me heartache
      Almost lovers always do

      We walked along a crowded street
      You took my hand and danced with me
      Images

      And when you left you kissed my lips
      You told me you'd never ever forget these images, no

      I never want to see you unhappy
      I thought you'd want the same for me

      Goodbye, my almost lover
      Goodbye, my hopeless dream
      I'm trying not to think about you
      Can't you just let me be?
      So long, my luckless romance
      My back is turned on you
      I should've known you'd bring me heartache
      Almost lovers always do

      I cannot go to the ocean
      I cannot drive the streets at night
      I cannot wake up in the morning
      Without you on my mind
      So you're gone and I'm haunted
      And I bet you are just fine
      Did I make it that easy
      To walk right in and out of my life?

      Goodbye, my almost lover
      Goodbye, my hopeless dream
      I'm trying not to think about you
      Can't you just let me be?
      So long, my luckless romance
      My back is turned on you
      I should've known you'd bring me heartache
      Almost lovers always do

        Whisper
        - By A Fine Frenzy

        Running the race
        Like a mouse in a cage
        Getting nowhere but I'm trying
        Forging ahead
        But I'm stuck in the bed
        That I made so I'm lying

        But if you keep real close
        Yeah, you stay real close
        I will reach you

        I'm down to a whisper
        In a daydream on a hill
        Shut down to a whisper
        Can you hear me still

        Eager to please,
        Trying to be what they need
        But I'm so very tired
        I've stopped trying to find
        Any peace in my mind
        Because it tangles the wires

        But if you keep real close
        Yeah, you stay real close
        I will reach you

        I'm down to a whisper
        In a daydream on a hill
        Shut down to a whisper
        Can you hear me
        Can you hear me still

        The sound tires on my lips
        To fade away into forgetting

        I'm down to a whisper
        In a daydream on a hill
        Shut down to a whisper
        Can you hear me
        Can you hear me

        I'm down to a whisper
        In a daydream on a hill
        Shut down to a whisper
        Can you hear me
        Can you hear me still

      Seasons in the Sun
      - By Black box recorder

      Goodbye to you, my trusted friend.
      We've known each other since we were nine or ten.
      Together we've climbed hills and trees,
      learned of love and ABC's,
      skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.
      Goodbye, my friend.
      It's hard to die
      when all the birds are singing in the sky.
      Now that spring is in the air
      pretty boys are everywhere.
      Think of me and I'll be there.
      Goodbye, Papa, please pray for me.
      I was the black sheep of the family.
      You tried to teach me right from wrong.
      Too much wine and too much song.
      Wonder how I got along.
      Goodbye, papa.
      It's hard to die when all the birds are singing in the sky.
      Now that the spring is in the air,
      There're children everywhere.
      When you see them, I'll be there.


      Goodbye, Michelle, my precious one.
      You gave me love and helped me find the sun.
      And every time that I was down,
      you would always come around,
      and get my feet back on the ground.
      Goodbye, Michele.
      It's hard to die when all the birds are singing in the sky
      Now that spring is in the air,
      with the flowers everywhere,
      I wish that we could both be there.
      We had joy, we had fun,
      we had seasons in the sun,
      but the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time.
      We had joy, we had fun,we had seasons in the sun,
      but the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach

        England Made Me
        - By Black Box Recorder

        trapped a spider underneath the glass
        I kept it for a week to see how long he last
        He stared right back of me
        He thought that he could win
        We played the waiting game
        He thought that I give in

        England made me
        England made me

        I had a dream last night, that I was drunk
        I killed the stranger, and left him in a trunk
        In Brighton railway station
        It was an unsolved case
        A famous murder mystery
        People love mystery

        England made me
        England made me
        England made me
        England made me

        I need my privacy, I lead a secret life
        Sleep with the enemy, and betray both sides
        I travelled all my life, but never got away
        From the killing jar, and it got me sick

        England made me
        England made me
        England made me
        England made me
        England made me
        England made me

      - By Tell Laura I Love Her

      Laura and Tommy were lovers
      He wanted to give her everything
      Flowers, presents, but most of all, a wedding ring

      He saw a sign for a stock car race
      A thousand dollar prize it read
      He couldn't get Laura on the phone
      So to her mother, Tommy said

      Tell Laura I love her
      Tell Laura I need her
      Tell Laura I may be late
      I've something to do, that cannot wait

      He drove his car to the racing grounds
      He was the youngest driver there
      The crowed roared as they started the race
      Around the track they drove at a deadly pace

      No one knows what happened that day
      Or how his car overturned in flames
      But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
      With his dying breath, they heard him say

      Tell Laura I love her
      Tell Laura I need her
      Tell Laura not to cry
      My love for her will never die

      Now in the chapel where Laura prays
      For her poor Tommy, who passed away
      It was just for Laura he lived and died
      Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry

      We’ve walked both sides of every street
      Through all kinds of windy weather.
      But that was never our defeat
      As long as we could walk together

      So there's no need for turning back
      `Cause all roads lead to where we stand.
      And I believe we'll walk them all
      No matter what we may have planned.

      Crossroads
      - By Don Mclean

      I've got nothing on my mind: Nothing to remember,
      Nothing to forget. And I've got nothing to regret,
      But I'm all tied up on the inside,
      No one knows quite what I've got;
      And I know that on the outside
      What I used to be, I'm not anymore.

      You know I've heard about people like me,
      But I never made the connection.
      They walk one road to set them free
      And find they've gone the wrong direction.

      But there's no need for turning back
      `Cause all roads lead to where I stand.
      And I believe I'll walk them all
      No matter what I may have planned.

      Can you remember who I was? Can you still feel it?
      Can you find my pain? Can you heal it?
      Then lay your hands upon me now
      And cast this darkness from my soul.
      You alone can light my way.
      You alone can make me whole once again.

      We've walked both sides of every street
      Through all kinds of windy weather.
      But that was never our defeat
      As long as we could walk together.

      So there's no need for turning back
      `Cause all roads lead to where we stand.
      And I believe we'll walk them all
      No matter what we may have planned.

      Send in the Clowns
      - By Judy Collins

      Isn't it rich?
      Are we a pair?
      Me here at last on the ground,
      You in mid-air..
      Where are the clowns?

      Isn't it bliss?
      Don't you approve?
      One who keeps tearing around,
      One who can't move...
      Where are the clowns?
      Send in the clowns.

      Just when I'd stopped opening doors,
      Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours.
      Making my entrance again with my usual flair
      Sure of my lines...
      No one is there.

      Don't you love farce?
      My fault, I fear.
      I thought that you'd want what I want...
      Sorry, my dear!
      And where are the clowns
      Quick - Send in the clowns
      Don't bother, they're here.

      Isn't it rich?
      Isn't it queer?
      Losing my timing this late in my career.
      But where are the clowns?
      There ought to be clowns...
      Well, maybe next year.

        Take a bow, the night is over
        This masquerade is getting older
        Lights are low, the curtains down
        There's no one here
        [There's no one here, there's no one in the crowd]
        Say your lines but do you feel them
        Do you mean what you say when there's no one around [no one around]
        Watching you, watching me, one lonely star
        [One lonely star you don't know who you are]

        Chorus:

        I've always been in love with you [always with you]
        I guess you've always known it's true [you know it's true]
        You took my love for granted, why oh why
        The show is over, say good-bye

        Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye

        Make them laugh, it comes so easy
        When you get to the part
        Where you're breaking my heart [breaking my heart]
        Hide behind your smile, all the world loves a clown
        [Just make 'em smile the whole world loves a clown]
        Wish you well, I cannot stay
        You deserve an award for the role that you played [role that you played]
        No more masquerade, you're one lonely star
        [One lonely star and you don't know who you are]

        (chorus, repeat)

        Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye

        All the world is a stage [world is a stage]
        And everyone has their part [has their part]
        But how was I to know which way the story'd go
        How was I to know you'd break
        [You'd break, you'd break, you'd break]
        You'd break my heart

        I've always been in love with you
        [I've always been in love with you]

      Indescribable Night
      -By Kate St. John

      A veil has lifted that shrouded my eyes
      The folds that lay over me no longer lie
      Your infinity is revealed to me
      It shines in your infinite smile

      It was like a gift floating down through the dark
      A dove finding rest in the leaves of my heart
      A feeling inside, an invisible guide
      Had shown me a way to survive
      Indescribable night
      Indescribable night
      Indescribable night
      Is it you?

      You and me in the circle of everyday life
      Climbing through moments of death and delight
      Now I’ve found my good night in the spiral of light
      That shines in your intimate smile
      Indescribable night
      Indescribable night
      Indescribable night

      Sailor oh sailor won’t you be proud
      To now find a light in the deadliest cloud
      The wisdom you’ve found, a surrendering sound
      Sings through the surrendering night
      Indescribable night
      Indescribable night
      Indescribable night
      Is it you?

      A Whiter Shade of Pale
      - Harmonica By Robert Bonfigli (covers Procol Harum's classic)

      We skipped the light fandango
      And turned cartwheels across the floor
      I was feeling kind of seasick
      The crowd called out for more
      The room was humming harder
      As the ceiling flew away
      Whe we called out for another drink
      The waiter brought a tray

      And so it was that later
      As the miller told his tale
      That her face at first just ghostly
      Turned a whiter shade of pale

      She said there is no reason
      And the truth is plain to see
      But I wandered through my playing cards
      Would not let her be
      One of sixteen vestal virgins
      Who were leaving for the coast
      At the moment my eyes were open
      They might just as well have been closed

      And so it was that later
      As the miller told his tale
      That her face at first just ghostly
      Turned a whiter shade of pale

      When you're weary; feeling small,
      When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
      I'm on your side oh when times get rough
      And friends just can't be found.
      Like a bridge over troubled water
      I will lay me down.
      Like a bridge over troubled water
      I will lay me down.

      When you're down and out;
      when you're on the street;
      when evening falls so hard
      I will comfort you.
      I'll take your part
      oh when darkness comes.
      And pain is all around.
      Like a bridge over troubled water
      I will lay me down
      Like a bridge over troubled water
      I will lay me down

      Sail on silvergirl;
      sail on by.
      Your time has come to shine.
      All your dreams are on their way.
      See how they shine.
      Oh if you need a friend
      I'm sailing right behind.
      Like a bridge over troubled water
      I will ease your mind
      Like a bridge over troubled water
      I will ease your mind.

      Oh, deep in my heart,

      We shall all be free,
      We shall all be free,
      We shall all be free, some day.

      Oh, deep in my heart,

      We are not afraid,
      We are not afraid,
      We are not afraid, TODAY

      Oh, deep in my heart,

      We shall overcome,
      We shall overcome,
      We shall overcome, some day.

      Oh, deep in my heart,
      I do believe
      We shall overcome, some day.

      The Lark in the Clear Air
      - By Cara Dillon

      Dear thoughts are in my mind,
      And my soul soars enchanted,
      As I hear the sweet lark sing
      In the clear air of the day.
      For a tender, beaming smile
      To my hope has been granted,
      And tomorrow she shall hear
      All my fond heart would say.

      I shall tell her all my love,
      All my soul’s adoration,
      And I think she will hear me,
      And will not say me nay.
      It is this that gives my soul
      All its joyous elation,
      As I hear the sweet lark sing
      In the clear air of the day.

      Lille
      - By lisa hannigan

      He went to sea for the day
      He wanted to know
      What to say
      When he's asked what he'd done
      In the past to someone
      That he loves endlessly
      Now she's gone
      So is he

      I went to war every morning
      I lost my way but now I'm following
      What you said in my arms
      What I read in the charms
      That I love durably
      Now it's dead and gone
      And I am free

      I went to sleep for the daytime
      I shut my eyes to the sunshine
      Turned my head away from the noise
      Bruise and drip decay of childish toys
      That I loved arguably
      All our labouring gone to seed

      We went out to play for the evening
      We wanted to hold on to the feeling
      And the stretch in the sun
      And our breathlessness as we run
      To the beach endlessly
      As the sun creeps up on the sea

        - By Damien Rice & Lisa Hannigan

        And so it is
        Just like you said it would be
        Life goes easy on me
        Most of the time
        And so it is
        The shorter story
        No love, no glory
        No hero in her sky

        I cant take my eyes off of you
        I cant take my eyes off you
        I cant take my eyes off of you
        I cant take my eyes off you
        I cant take my eyes off you
        I cant take my eyes...

        And so it is
        Just like you said it should be
        Well both forget the breeze
        Most of the time
        And so it is
        The colder water
        The blowers daughter
        The pupil in denial

        I cant take my eyes off of you
        I cant take my eyes off you
        I cant take my eyes off of you
        I cant take my eyes off you
        I cant take my eyes off you
        I cant take my eyes...

        Did I say that I loathe you?
        Did I say that I want to
        Leave it all behind?

        I cant take my mind off of you
        I cant take my mind off you
        I cant take my mind off of you
        I cant take my mind off you
        I cant take my mind off you
        I cant take my mind...
        My mind...my mind...
        Til I find somebody new

          I Remember
          - By Damien Rice & Lisa Hannigan

          I remember it well
          The first time that I saw
          Your head around the door
          'Cause mine stopped working

          I remember it well
          There was wet in your hair
          I was stood in stare
          And time stopped moving

          I want you here tonight
          I want you here
          'Cause I can't believe what I found
          I want you here tonight want you here
          'Cause nothing is taking me down, down, down...

          I remember it well
          Taxied out of a storm
          To watch you perform
          And my ships were sailing

          I remember it well
          I was stood in your line
          And your mouth, your mouth, your mind...

          I want you here tonight
          I want you here
          'Cause I can't believe what I found
          I want you here tonight want you here
          Nothing is taking me down, down, down...

          Except you my love. Except you my love...

          Come all ye lost
          Dive into moss
          I hope that my sanity covers the cost
          To remove the stain of my love
          In paper mache

          Come all ye reborn
          Blow off my horn
          I'm driving real hard
          This isn't love, this is porn
          God will forgive me
          But I, I whip myself with scorn, scorn

          I wanna hear what you have to say about me
          Hear if you're gonna live without me
          I wanna hear what you want
          I remember December
          And I wanna hear what you have to say about me
          Hear if you're gonna live without me
          I wanna hear what you want
          What the hell do you want?

        She Is Like the Swallow
        - By Lucia Micarelli features Leigh Nash

        she's like the swallow that flies on high
        she's like the river that never runs dry
        she's like the sun beaming on the lea shore
        i love my love, but love is no more

        a maiden into her garden did go
        for to pluck her some wild primrose
        the more she plucked, the more she did pull
        until this maiden's apron was full

        then out of these roses she made a bed
        a scarlet pillow for her head
        she laid her down, no words she did speak
        and then this maiden's heart, it did break

        she's like the swallow that flies on high
        she's like the river that never runs dry
        she's like the sun beaming on the lea shore
        i love my love, but love is no more

      My mind raced
      And I thought what could I do? (Thunder)

      Some dancers who gave a good time
      Broke all the rules, played all the fools
      Yeah, yeah, they, they, they blew our minds

        Kashmir
        - By Led Zeppelin

        Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face, stars fill my dreams
        I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
        To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
        They talk of days for which they sit and wait, all will be revealed

        Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, sounds caress my ears
        But not a word I heard could I relay, the story was quite clear
        Ohh
        (Chorus)

        Oh, oh
        Oh, oh

        Oooh, baby I've been flying...Mama, there ain't no denyin'
        Oooh yeah, I've been flying, Mama ain't no denyin', no denyin'

        All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
        And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land
        Tryin' to find....Tryin' to find where I've been.

        Oh, pilot of the storm that leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream
        Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream
        My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again
        Like the dust that lufts high in June, when moving through Kashmir.


        Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years
        With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear
        Ohh
        (Chorus)

        When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah
        When I see, when I see the way they stay, yeah

        Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down...
        Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down
        Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there

      Lady Grinning Soul
      - By David Bowie


      She'll come, she'll go. She'll lay belief on you
      Skin sweet with musky oil
      The lady from another grinning soul

      Cologne she'll wear. Silver and Americard
      She'll drive a beetle car
      And beat you down at cool Canasta

      And when the clothes are strewn don't be afraid of the room
      Touch the fullness of her breast. Feel the love of her caress
      She will be your living end

      She'll come, she'll go. She'll lay belief on you
      But she won't stake her life on you
      How can life become her point of view

      And when the clothes are strewn don't be afraid of the room
      Touch the fullness of her breast. Feel the love of her caress

      She will be your living end
      She will be your living end
      She will be your living end
      She will be your living end
      She will be your living end

      Saturday Sun
      - By Nick Drake

      Saturday sun came early one morning
      In a sky so clear and blue
      Saturday sun came without warning
      So no-one knew what to do.
      Saturday sun brought people and faces
      That didn't seem much in their day
      But when I remember those people and places
      They were rarely too good in their way.
      In their way
      In their way
      Saturday sun won't come and see me today.

      Think about stories with reason and rhyme
      Circling through your brain.
      And think about people in their season and time
      Returning again and again
      And again
      And again
      And Saturday's sun has turned to Sunday's rain.

      So Sunday sat in the Saturday sun
      And wept for a day gone by.

        Day is Done
        - By Nick Drake


        When the day is done
        Down to earth then sinks the sun
        Along with everything that was lost and won
        When the day is done.

        When the day is done
        Hope so much your race will be all run
        Then you find you jumped the gun
        Have to go back where you begun
        When the day is done.

        When the night is cold
        Some get by but some get old
        Just to show life's not made of gold
        When the night is cold.

        When the bird has flown
        Got no-one to call your own
        Got no place to call your home
        When the bird has flown.

        When the game's been fought
        Newspapers blow across the court
        Lost matches sooner than you would have thought
        Now the game's been fought.

        When the part is through
        Seems so very sad for you
        Didn't do the things you meant to do
        Now there's no time to start anew
        Now the part is through.

        When the day is done
        Down to earth then sinks the sun
        Along with everything that was lost and won
        When the day is done.

      We can talk until we're crazy
      We can focus on it now

      We can argue and fuss all night
      But I propose that we go to floor and we slow dance

        [Verse 1]

        Girl im in love with you
        This ain't the honeymoon
        Past the infatuation phase
        Right in the thick of love
        At times we get sick of love
        It seems like we argue everyday

        [Bridge]

        I know i misbehaved
        And you made your mistakes
        And we both still got room left to grow
        And though love sometimes hurts
        I still put you first
        And we'll make this thing work
        But I think we should take it slow

        [Chorus]

        We're just ordinary people
        We don't know which way to go
        Cuz we're ordinary people
        Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
        This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
        This time we'll take it slow

        [Verse 2]

        This ain't a movie no
        No fairy tale conclusion ya'll
        It gets more confusing everyday
        Sometimes it's heaven sent
        Then we head back to hell again
        We kiss then we make up on the way

        [Bridge]

        I hang up you call
        We rise and we fall
        And we feel like just walking away
        As our love advances
        We take second chances
        Though it's not a fantasy
        I Still want you to stay

        [Chorus]

        We're just ordinary people
        We don't know which way to go
        Cuz we're ordinary people
        Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
        This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
        This time we'll take it slow

        [Verse 3]

        Take it slow
        Maybe we'll live and learn
        Maybe we'll crash and burn
        Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll leave,
        maybe you'll return
        Maybe another fight
        Maybe we won't survive
        But maybe we'll grow
        We never know baby youuuu and I

        [Chorus]

        We're just ordinary people
        We don't know which way to go
        Cuz we're ordinary people
        Maybe we should take it slow (Heyyy)
        We're just ordinary people
        We don't know which way to go
        Cuz we're ordinary people
        Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)

          I won't Complain
          - By John Legend

          I've had some good days
          I've had some hills to climb
          I've had some weary days
          And some sleepless nights
          But when I look around
          And I think things over
          All of my good days
          Out-weigh my bad days
          I won't complain

          Sometimes my clouds hang low
          I can hardly see the road
          I ask a question, Lord
          Lord, why so much pain?
          But he knows what's best for me
          Although my weary eyes
          They can't see
          So I'll just say thank you Lord
          I won't complain

          [Chorus:]
          The Lord Has been so good to me
          He's been good to me
          More than this old world or you could ever be
          He's been so good, To me
          He dried all of my tears away
          Turned my midnights into day
          So I'll just say thank you Lord 2X


          So I'll just say thank you Lord,
          I won't complain

            So High
            - By John Legend

            Baby since the day you came into my life
            You made me realize that we were born to fly
            You showed me everyday new possibilities
            You proved my fantasies of love could really be

            Let's go to a place only lovers go
            To a spot that we've never known
            To the top of the clouds we're floating away yeah
            Ooh this feels so crazy
            Oh this love is blazing
            Baby we're so high
            Walking on cloud 9

            (You've got me up so high) So high
            (My shoes are scraping the sky) So high
            (You've got me up so high) Oh
            (My shoes are scraping the sky)

            Maybe later we can go up to the moon
            Or sail among the stars before the night is through
            And when morning comes we'll see the sun is not so far
            And we can't get much closer to God than where we are

            We'll go to a place only lovers go
            To a spot that we've never known
            To the top of the clouds we're floating away yeah
            Ooh this feels so crazy
            Oh this love is blazing
            Baby we're so high
            Walking on cloud 9

            (You've got me up so high) So high
            (My shoes are scraping the sky) So high
            (You've got me up so high) Oh
            (My shoes are scraping the sky)

            Ooh...yeah
            Ooh...oh hey

            Ooh this feels so crazy
            Oh this love is blazin'
            Baby we're so high
            Walking on cloud 9
            You got me up so high
            You got me up so high
            You got me up so high
            My shoes are scraping the sky

            You got me up so high
            You got me up so high
            You got me up so high
            My shoes are scraping the sky ooh...ooh...
            Yeah...

            This is how love's supposed to be
            This is how, this is how love's supposed to be, yeah
            Let's go to the moon baby, ooh
            Let's go to the moon baby, yeah
            Let's go, go, let's go to the moon baby
            So high...

      Fast Train
      - By Solomon Burke

      Well you've been on a fast train and it's going off the rails
      And you can't come back can't come back together again
      And you start breaking down
      In the pouring rain
      Well you've been on a fast train

      When your lover has gone away don't it make you feel so sad
      And you go on a journey way into the land
      And you start breaking down
      'Cos you're under the strain
      And you jump on a fast train

      You had to go on the lam you stepped into no-man's land
      Ain't nobody here on your waveband
      Ain't nobody gonna lend you a helping hand
      And you start breaking down
      And just go into the sound
      When you hear that fast train

      And you keep moving on to the sound of the wheels
      And deep inside your heart you really know oh, just how it feels
      And you start breaking down and go into the pain
      Keep on moving on a fast train

      You're way over the line next thing you're out of your mind
      And you're out of your depth in through the window she crept
      Oh there's nowhere to go in the sleet and the snow
      Just keep on moving on a fast train

      You had to go on the lam stepping in no-man's land
      Ain't nobody here on your waveband
      Nobody even gonna lend you a helping hand
      Oh and you're so alone can you really make it on your own
      Keep on moving on a fast train

      Oh going nowhere, except on a fast train
      Oh trying to get away from the past
      Oh keep on moving keep on moving on a fast train
      Going nowhere across the desert sand through the barren waste
      On a fast train going nowhere
      On a fast train going nowhere

        I shall not walk alone
        - By Blind Boys of Alabama

        Battered and torn
        Still i can see the light
        Tattered and worn
        But i must kneel to fight

        Friend of mine
        What can't you spare
        I know some times
        It gets cold in there

        When my legs no longer carry
        And the warm wind chills my bones
        I reach for mother mary
        And i shall not walk alone

        Hope is alive
        While we're apart
        Only tears
        Speak from my heart
        Break the chains
        That hold us down
        And we shall be
        Forever bound

        When i'm tired and weary
        And a long way from home
        I reach for mother mary
        And i shall not walk alone

        Beauty that
        We left behind
        How shall we
        Tomorrow find

        Set aside
        Our weight in sin
        So that we
        Can live again

        When my legs no longer carry
        And the warm wind chills my bones
        I reach for mother mary
        And i shall not walk alone

      You're Innocent When You Dream
      - By Tom Waits

      The bats are in the belfry
      the dew is on the moor
      where are the arms that held me
      and pledged her love before
      and pledged her love before

      Chorus

      It's such a sad old feeling
      the fields are soft and green
      it's memories that I'm stelaing
      but you're innocent when you dream
      when you dream
      you're innocent when you dream

      running through the graveyard
      we laughed my friends and I
      we swore we'd be together
      until the day we died
      until the day we died

      Repeat Chorus

      I made a golden promise
      that we would never part
      I gave my love a locket
      and then I broke her heart
      and then I broke her heart

        Time
        - By Tom Waits

        Well the smart money's on Harlow and the moon is in the street
        And the shadow boys are breaking all the laws
        And you're east of East Saint Louis and the wind is making speeches
        And the rain sounds like a round of applause
        And Napoleon is weeping in a carnival saloon
        His invisible fiancee's in the mirror
        And the band is going home, it's raining hammers, it's raining nails
        And it's true there's nothing left for him down here
        And it's time time time, and it's time time time
        And it's time time time that you love
        And it's time time time
        And they all pretend they're orphans and their memory's like a train
        You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
        And the things you can't remember tell the things you can't forget
        That history puts a saint in every dream
        Well she said she'd stick around until the bandages came off
        But these mama's boys just don't know when to quit
        And Mathilda asks the sailors Are those dreams or are those prayers?
        So close your eyes, son, and this won't hurt a bit
        Oh it's time time time, and it's time time time
        And it's time time time that you love
        And it's time time time
        Well things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
        The boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the street
        And when they're on a roll she pulls a razor from her boot
        And a thousand pigeons fall around her feet
        So put a candle in the window and a kiss upon his lips
        As the dish outside the window fills with rain
        Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart
        And pay the fiddler off 'til I come back again
        Oh it's time time time, and it's time time time
        And it's time time time that you love
        And it's time time time
        And it's time time time, and it's time time time
        And it's time time time that you love
        And it's time time time

      - By The Band

      They say everything can be replaced
      They say every distance is not near
      So I remember every face
      Of every man who put me here

      I see my light come shining
      From the west down to the east
      Any day now, any day now
      I shall be released

      They say every man needs protection
      They say that every man must fall
      Yet I swear I see my reflection
      Somewhere so high above this wall

      Now yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd
      A man who swears he's not to blame
      All day long I hear him shouting so loud
      Just crying out that he was framed

        No one'll know where you are

            Lullaby of birdland
            That's what I
            Always hear, when you sigh
            Never in my wordland
            could there ways to repeal
            in a phrase, how I feel

            Have you ever heard two turtledoves
            Bill and coo
            when they love
            that's the kind of magic music
            we make with our lips
            when we kiss

            And there's a wheapy 'ol willow
            He really knows how to cry
            That's how I'll cry on my pillow
            If you should tell me
            farewell and goodbye

            Lullaby of birdland
            whisper low
            kiss me sweet, and we'll go
            flying high in birdland,
            high in the sky up above
            all because we're in love

            Makin'Whoopee
            - By Peggy Lee and Toots Thielemans

            Another bride, another June
            Another sunny honeymoon
            Another season, another reason
            For makin' whoopee

            A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
            The groom is nervous, he answers twice
            Its really killin'
            That he's so willin' to make whoopee

            Now picture a little love nest
            Down where the roses cling
            Picture the same sweet love nest
            Think what a year can bring, yes

            He's washin dishes and baby clothes
            He's so ambitious he even sews
            But don't forget folks,
            Thats what you get folks, for makin' whoopee

            Another year, maybe less
            What's this I hear? Well, can't you guess?
            She feels neglected, and he's suspected
            Of makin' whoopee

            Yeah, she sits alone,
            Most every night
            He doesn't phone, he doesn't write
            He says he's busy,
            But she says, "Is he?"
            He's makin' whoopee

            Now he doesn't make much money
            Only five thousand per
            Some judge who thinks he's funny
            Says, "You'll pay six to her."

            He says, "Now judge, suppose I fail?"
            Judge say, "Budge. Right into jail.
            You'd better keep her. I think it's cheaper
            Than makin' whoopee."

            Yes, yeah, you better keep her
            Daddy, I think it's cheaper
            Than makin' whoopee

      Don't Come Easy
      - By Patty Griffin/Melissa Etheridge

      Red lights are flashing on the highway
      I wonder if we're gonna ever get home
      I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight
      Everywhere the water's getting rough
      Your best intentions may not be enough
      I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight

      But if you break down
      I'll drive out and find you
      If you forget my love
      I'll try to remind you
      And stay by you
      When it don't come easy

      I don't know nothing except change will come
      Year after year what we do is undone
      Time keeps moving from a crawl to a run
      I wonder if we're gonna ever get home
      You're out there walking down a highway
      And all of the signs got blown away
      Sometimes you wonder if you're walking in the wrong direction

      But if you break down
      I'll drive out and find you
      If you forget my love
      I'll try to remind you
      And stay by you
      When it don't come easy

      So many things that I had before
      That don't matter to me now
      Tonight I cry for the love that I've lost
      And the love I've never found
      When the last bird falls
      And the last siren sounds
      Someone will say what's been said before
      Some love we were looking for

      When you break down
      I'll drive out and find you
      When you forget my love
      I'll try to remind you
      And stay by you
      When it don't come easy
      When it don't come easy

      LEAVE A TENDER MOMENT ALONE
      - By Billy Joel




      Even though I'm in love
      Sometimes I get so afraid
      I'll say something so wrong
      Just to have something to say

      I know the moment isn't right
      To tell the girl a comical line
      To keep the conversation light
      I guess I'm just frightened out of my mind

      But if that's how I feel
      Then it's the best feeling I've ever known
      It's undeniably real
      Leave a tender moment alone

      Yes I know I'm in love
      But just when I ought to relax
      I put my foot in my mouth
      Cause I'm just avoiding the facts

      If the girl gets too close
      If I need some room to escape
      When the moment arose
      I'd tell her it's all a mistake

      But that's not how I feel
      No that's not the woman I've known
      She's undeniably real
      So leave a tender moment alone

      But it's not only me
      Breaking down when the tension gets high
      Just when I'm in a serious mood
      She is suddenly quiet and shy

      Leave a tender moment
      Leave it alone

      I know the moment isn't right
      To hold my emotions inside
      To change the attitude tonight
      I've run out of places to hide

      And if that's how I feel
      Then it's the best feeling I've even known
      It's undeniably real
      Leave a tender moment alone

      You got to leave a tender moment alone
      Leave a tender moment
      Leave it alone
      You've got to leave a tender moment
      Leave a tender moment alone

        Ascension day
        - By Elvis Costello

        (Bird, Costello, Toussaint)

        Not a soul was stirring
        Not a bird was singing, at least not within my hearing
        I was five minutes past caring
        Standing in the road just staring

        Thought I heard somebody pleading
        I thought I heard someone apologise
        Some fell down weeping
        Others shook their fists up at the skies
        And those who were left
        Seemed to be wearing disguises

        Now there's a queen in waiting
        Not enough loving and too much hating
        For the prince hidden within her man
        Always seems to be hesitating

        He said, "Let her go, let her go, God bless her"
        "She hasn't been gone long enough for me to miss her"
        "Except every minute of every hour of every day when I wish I could possess her"

        40 days passed by
        40 alibis
        So carry on... that way
        And in time... you'll pay
        But we'll all be together
        Come Ascension Day

        Not a hound was howling
        Or whimpering or prowling
        Now the wind had departed
        Not a leaf was hanging on the tree like when it started

        But I know they will return
        Like they've never gone away
        Come Ascension Day

          Elvis Costello

          All through the night you telephoned
          I saw the light blinking red
          Beside the cradle
          But you don't know how far I've gone
          Now I must live with the lie
          That I made
          But if I call, I know I won't have to say it
          You'll hear my voice - something is bound to betray it

          But do people living in Toledo
          Know that their name hasn't traveled very well?
          And does anybody in Ohio
          Dream of that Spanish citadel?
          But it's no use saying that I love you
          And how that girl really didn't mean a thing to me
          For if anyone should look into your eyes
          It's not forgiveness that they're gonna see

          You hear her voice - "How could you do that?"
          You hear her voice - "How could you do that?"

          So I walked outside in the bright
          Sunshine and lovers pass by
          Smiling and joking
          But they don't know the fool I was
          Why should they care what was lost
          What was broken?

          But if I call, I know I won't have to say it
          You'll hear my voice - something is bound to betray it

          But do people living in Toledo
          Know that their name hasn't traveled very well?
          And does anybody in Ohio
          Dream of that Spanish citadel?

      Someone told me long ago There's a calm before the storm,
      I know; It's been comin' for some time.
      When it's over, so they say, It'll rain a sunny day,
      I know; Shinin' down like water.

      CHORUS:
      I want to know, Have you ever seen the rain?
      I want to know, Have you ever seen the rain
      Comin' down on a sunny day?

      Yesterday, and days before, Sun is cold and rain is hard,
      I know; Been that way for all my time.
      'Til forever, on it goes Through the circle, fast and slow,
      I know; It can't stop, I wonder.

        Leaves are fallin' all around, time I was on my way
        Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay
        but now it's time for me to go, the autumn moon lights my way
        for now I smell the rain, and with it, pain
        and it's headed my way
        Aw, sometimes I grow so tired
        but I know I've got one thing I got to do

        A-ramble on, and now's the time, the time is now
        Sing my song, I'm goin' 'round the world, I gotta find my girl
        On my way, I've been this way ten years to the day
        Ramble on, gotta find the queen of all my dreams

        Got no time to for spreadin' roots, the time has come to be gone
        And though our health we drank a thousand times
        it's time to ramble on

        A-ramble on, and now's the time, the time is now
        Sing my song, I'm goin' 'round the world
        I've gotta find my girl
        On my way, I've been this way ten years to the day
        I gotta ramble on, I gotta find the queen of all my dreams
        I tell you no lie

        Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear
        How years ago in days of old when magic filled the air

          For What It's Worth
          - By Buffalo Springfield


          There's something happening here
          What it is ain't exactly clear
          There's a man with a gun over there
          Telling me I got to beware
          I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
          Everybody look what's going down
          There's battle lines being drawn
          Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
          Young people speaking their minds
          Getting so much resistance from behind
          I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
          Everybody look what's going down
          What a field-day for the heat
          A thousand people in the street
          Singing songs and carrying signs
          Mostly say, hooray for our side
          It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
          Everybody look what's going down
          Paranoia strikes deep
          Into your life it will creep
          It starts when you're always afraid
          You step out of line, the man come and take you away
          We better stop, hey, what's that sound
          Everybody look what's going down
          Stop, hey, what's that sound
          Everybody look what's going down
          Stop, now, what's that sound
          Everybody look what's going down
          Stop, children, what's that sound
          Everybody look what's going down

      April Come She Will
      - By imon and Garfunkel

      April come she will
      When streams are ripe and swelled with rain;
      May, she will stay,
      Resting in my arms again.

      June, she'll change her tune,
      In restless walks she'll prowl the night;
      July, she will fly
      And give no warning to her flight.

      August, die she must,
      The autumn winds blow chilly and cold;
      September I'll remember
      A love once new has now grown old.

        For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her
        - By Simon & Garfunkel

        What I dream I had:
        Pressed in organdy;
        Clothed in crinoline of smoky Burgundy;
        Softer than the rain.
        I wandered empty streets
        Down past the shop displays.
        I heard cathedral bells
        Tripping down the alley ways,
        As I walked on.

        And when you ran to me
        Your cheeks flushed with the night.
        We walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight,
        I held your hand.
        And when I awoke and felt you warm and near,
        I kissed your honey hair with my grateful tears.
        Oh I love you, girl.
        Oh, I love you.

          Miles from nowhere
          I guess I'll take my time
          Oh yeah, to reach there

          Look up at the mountain
          I have to climb
          Oh yeah, to reach there.

          Lord my body has been a good friend
          But I won't need it when I reach the end

          Miles from nowhere
          Guess I'll take my time
          Oh yeah, to reach there

          I creep through the valleys
          And I grope through the woods
          'cause I know when I find it my honey
          It's gonna make me feel good

          I love everything
          So don't it make you feel sad
          'cause I'll drink to you, my baby
          I'll think to that, I'll think to that.

          Miles from nowhere
          Not a soul in sight
          Oh yeah, but it's alright

          I have my freedom
          I can make my own rules
          Oh yeah, the ones that I choose

          Lord my body has been a good friend
          But I won't need it when I reach the end

          Miles from nowhere
          Guess I'll take my time
          Oh yeah, to reach there.

      The Pretender
      - By Jackson Browne


      I'm going to rent myself a house
      In the shade of the freeway
      Gonna pack my lunch in the morning
      And go to work each day
      And when the evening rolls around
      I'll go on home and lay my body down
      And when the morning light comes streaming in
      I'll get up and do it again
      Amen.
      Say it again
      Amen.

      I want to know what became of the changes
      We waited for love to bring
      Were they only the fitful dreams
      Of some greater awakening?
      I've been aware of the time going by
      They say in the end it's the wink of an eye
      When the morning light comes streaming in
      You'll get up and do it again
      Amen.

      Caught between the longing for love
      And the struggle for the legal tender
      Where the sirens sing and the church bells ring
      And the junk man pounds his fender.
      Where the veterans dream of the fight
      Fast asleep at the traffic light
      And the children solemnly wait
      For the ice cream vendor
      Out into the cool of the evening
      Strolls the Pretender
      He knows that all his hopes and dreams
      Begin and end there

      Ah the laughter of the lovers
      As they run through the night
      Leaving nothing for the others
      But to choose off and fight
      And tear at the world with all their might
      While the ships bearing their dreams
      Sail out of sight

      I'm gonna find myself a girl
      Who can show me what laughter means
      And we'll fill in the missing colors
      In each other's paint-by-number dreams
      And then we'll put our dark glasses on
      And we'll make love until our strength is gone
      And when the morning light comes streaming in
      We'll get up and do it again
      Get it up again

      I'm gonna be a happy idiot
      And struggle for the legal tender
      Where the ads take aim and lay their claim
      To the heart and the soul of the spender
      And believe in whatever may lie
      In those things that money can buy
      where true love could have been a contender
      Are you there?
      Say a prayer for the Pretender.
      Who started out so young and strong
      Only to surrender.

      Say a prayer for the pretender
      Are you there for the pretender?
      Say a prayer for the pretender
      Are you there for the pretender?
      Are you prepared for the pretender?

        For Everyman
        - By Jackson Browne

        Everybody I talk to is ready to leave
        With the light of the morning
        They've seen the end coming down long enough to believe
        That they've heard their last warning
        Standing alone
        Each has his own ticket in his hand
        And as the evening descends
        I sit thinking 'bout Everyman

        Seems like I've always been looking for some other place
        To get it together
        Where with a few of my friends I could give up the race
        And maybe find something better
        But all my fine dreams
        Well thought out schemes to gain the motherland
        Have all eventually come down to waiting for Everyman

        Waiting here for Everyman--
        Make it on your own if you think you can
        If you see somewhere to go I understand
        Waiting here for Everyman--
        Don't ask me if he'll show -- baby I don't know

        Make it on your own if you think you can
        Somewhere later on you'll have to take a stand
        Then you're going to need a hand

        Everybody's just waiting to hear from the one
        Who can give them the answers
        And lead them back to that place in the warmth of the sun
        Where sweet childhood still dances
        Who'll come along
        And hold out that strong and gentle father's hand?
        Long ago I heard someone say something 'bout Everyman

        Waiting here for Everyman--
        Make it on your own if you think you can
        If you see somewhere to go I understand

        I'm not trying to tell you that I've seen the plan
        Turn and walk away if you think I am--
        But don't think too badly of one who's left holding sand
        He's just another dreamer, dreaming 'bout Everyman

      First of May
      - By The Bee Gees

      When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
      we used to love while others used to play.
      Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
      some one else moved in from far away.

      (chorus)
      Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
      and you don't ask the time of day.
      But you and I, our love will never die,
      but guess we'll cry come first of May.

      The apple tree that grew for you and me,
      I watched the apples falling one by one.
      And I recall the moment of them all,
      the day I kissed your cheek and you were gone.

      (chorus...)

      When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
      do do do do do do do do do...
      Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,

              By Chaya A.

              My throat feels tight,
              My eyes are about to burst, but I wont let them spill,
              I wont, I can’t,
              So I look up at the birds soaring high into the distance,
              At the silky horizon where the sky meets the sea,
              An ocean of undiscovered beauty,
              A world too big for me;
              A world I sometimes feel is shutting me out.

              Sometimes I wish I could fly into it,
              Fly into the star cloaked sky,
              High Beyond the heavens,
              Staring into a golden glittering sun,
              A vast ocean sea,
              Just to fly into it.
              Brushing away sorrows onto the clouds,
              Throwing broken hearts on the back of eagle’s wings.

              Hurling all my worries,
              My pain,
              My past,
              Into the depths of the sea.
              Showing the word what I truly am
              Showing these people I don’t need them to live,
              But then suddenly they come,
              Every single one of them,
              The forgotten memories,
              The times we smiled,
              The times we laughed,
              The times they remembered I was a person too.
              The times I had forgotten to be thankful for.
              The times I never had to feel like I was alone.

              Then they begin to fly beside me,
              Their lights shining in the darkness of the sky.
              Swarming all around me as they begin to turn,
              Collecting my anguish, my pain, my past,
              Collecting broken hearts and sorrows off a passing cloud.
              We fly carrying the heavy burdens beside us,
              We fly together.

              But as we fly further and further they slowly begin to disappear,
              Each one evaporating into nothingness
              And I feel it getting lighter and lighter.
              Soon they are all gone, I smile,
              As I look behind me one last time
              At an ocean of the past.
              And as I look ahead into an ocean of the future
              I remember that
              Although some wounds can never naturally be healed,
              Love will make them fade.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

      You can dance all the worries away, like the one in the video, it works! :)

      I challenge you to listen to it and dance before any critical event, say, an exam.

      Don't Worry Be Happy
      - By bobby mcferrin

      Here's a little song i wrote,
      you might want to sing it note for note,
      don't worry, be happy

      in every life we have some trouble,
      when you worry you make it double
      don't worry, be happy

      dont worry be happy now
      dont worry be happy
      dont worry be happy
      dont worry be happy
      dont worry be happy
      aint got no place to lay your head,
      somebody came and took your bed,
      don't worry, be happy

      the landlord say your rent is late,
      he may have to litagate,
      dont worry be happy,

      look at me im happy,
      don't worry, be happy

      i give you my phone number,
      when your worried, call me,
      i make you happy

      don't worry, be happy

      aint got no cash, aint got no style,
      aint got no gal to make you smile
      but don't worry, be happy

      cos when you worry, your face will frown,
      and that will bring everybody down,
      so don't worry, be happy

      don't worry, be happy now...

      don't worry, be happy
      don't worry, be happy
      don't worry, be happy
      don't worry, be happy

      now there this song i wrote
      i hope you you learned it note for note
      like good little children

      dont worry be happy

      listen to what i say
      in your life expect some trouble
      when you worry you make it double
      dont worry be happy
      be happy now

      dont worry, be happy
      dont worry, be happy
      dont worry, be happy
      dont worry, be happy
      dont worry
      dont worry be happy
      don't worry, don't worry, don't do it,
      be happy put a smile on your face,
      don't bring everybody down like this

      don't worry, it will soon pass whatever it is,
      don't worry, be happy,
      Im not worried

      So Are You To Me
      - By Eastmountainsouth

      As the music at the banquet
      As the wine before the meal
      As the firelight in the night
      So are you to me

      As the ruby in the setting
      As the fruit upon the tree
      As the wind blows over the plains
      So are you to me

      As the wind blows over the plains
      So are you to me
      So are you to me

      Hey hey mama said the way you move,

      Make me a happy man.

      Ah-ah

      - The cure

      i've waited hours for this
      i've made myself so sick
      i wish i'd stayed
      asleep today

      i never thought this day would end
      i never thought tonight could ever be
      this close to me

      just try to see in the dark
      just try to make it work
      to feel the fear before you're here
      i make the shapes come much too close
      i pull my eyes out
      hold my breath
      and wait until i shake...

      but if i had your faith
      then i could make it safe and clean
      if only i was sure
      that my head on the door was a dream

      Hard times come again no more
      - Yo-Yo Ma James Taylor
      (Stephen Foster)


      1. Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears,
      While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
      There's a song that will linger forever in our ears;
      Oh Hard times come again no more.

      Chorus:
      Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
      Hard Times, hard times, come again no more
      Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
      Oh hard times come again no more.

      2. While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,
      There are frail forms fainting at the door;
      Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
      Oh hard times come again no more.

      3. There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away,
      With a worn heart whose better days are o'er:
      Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day,
      Oh hard times come again no more.

      4. Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,
      Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore
      Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave
      Oh hard times come again no more.

        Slumber my Darling
        - Yo-Yo Ma + Alison Krauss

        Slumber, my darling, thy mother is near,
        Guarding thy dreams from all terror and fear,
        Sunlight has pass'd and the twilight has gone,
        Slumber, my darling, the night's coming on.
        Sweet visions attend thy sleep,
        Fondest, dearest to me,
        While others their revels keep,
        I will watch over thee.

        Slumber, my darling, the birds are at rest,
        The wandering dews by the flow'rs are caressed,
        Slumber, my darling, I'll wrap thee up warm,
        And pray that the angels will shield thee from harm.

        Slumber, my darling, till morn's blushing ray
        Brings to the world the glad tidings of day;
        Fill the dark void with thy dreamy delight--
        Slumber, thy mother will guard thee tonight,
        Thy pillow shall sacred be
        From all outward alarms;
        Thou, thou are the world to me
        In thine innocent charms.

        Slumber, my darling, the birds are at rest,
        The wandering dews by the flow'rs are caressed,
        Slumber, my darling, I'll wrap thee up warm,
        And pray that the angels will shield thee from harm

        Clearly, you can tell the time happened to them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`` American Tune
        - Paul Simon

        Many's the time I've been mistaken
        And many times confused
        Yes, and I've often felt forsaken
        And certainly misused
        Oh, but I'm all right, I'm all right
        I'm just weary to my bones
        Still, you don't expect to be
        Bright and bon vivant
        So far away from home, so far away from home

        And I don't know a soul who's not been battered
        I don't have a friend who feels at ease
        I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
        or driven to its knees
        but it's all right, it's all right
        for we lived so well so long
        Still, when I think of the
        road we're traveling on
        I wonder what's gone wrong
        I can't help it, I wonder what's gone wrong

        And I dreamed I was dying
        I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
        And looking back down at me
        Smiled reassuringly
        And I dreamed I was flying
        And high up above my eyes could clearly see
        The Statue of Liberty
        Sailing away to sea
        And I dreamed I was crying

        We come on the ship they call the Mayflower
        We come on the ship that sailed the moon
        We come in the age's most uncertain hours
        and sing an American tune
        Oh, and it's alright, it's all right, it's all right
        You can't be forever blessed
        Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day
        And I'm trying to get some rest
        That's all I'm trying to get some rest
