Cat Stevens - Gold (2008) by Cat Stevens (보컬) on maniadb.com

Up at eight, you can't be late
for Matthew & Son, he won't wait.

Watch them run down to platform one
And the eight-thirty train to Matthew & Son.

Matthew & Son, the work's never done, there's always something new.
The files in your head, you take them to bed, you're never ever through.
And they've been working all day, all day, all day!

There's a five minute break and that's all you take,
for a cup of cold coffee and a piece of cake.

Matthew & Son, the work's never done, there's always something new.
The files in your head, you take them to bed, you're never ever through.
And they've been working all day, all day, all day!

He's got people who've been working for fifty years
No one asks for more money cuz nobody cares
Even though they're pretty low and their rent's in arrears

Matthew & Son, Matthew & Son, Matthew & Son, Matthew & Son,
And they've been working all day, all day, all day

In the midnight moonlight I'll be walking a long and lonely mile.
And every time I do, I keep seeing this picture of you.

Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.

You never walk alone, and you're forever talking on the phone.
I've tried to call you names, but every time it comes out the same.

Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.

I'm still waiting for your heart, cuz I'm sure that some day it's gonna start.
You'll be mine to hold each day, but 'til then this is all that I can say.

Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.

I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And she's taking almost all that I've got
But if you want, I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know

The first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest
'Cause when it comes to being lucky, she's cursed
When it comes to loving me, she's worst
But when it comes to being loved, she's first
That's how I know

The first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest

I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
'Cause I'm sure gonna give you a try
And if you want, I'll try to love again
But, baby, I'll try to love again, but I know

The first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest
'Cause when it comes to being lucky, she's cursed
When it comes to loving me, she's worst
But when it comes to being loved, she's first
That's how I know

The first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest

Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest
'Cause when it comes to being lucky, she's cursed
When it comes to loving me, she's worst
But when it comes to being loved, she's first
That's how I know

The first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest

My Lady d'Arbanville,
why do you sleep so still?
I'll wake you tomorrow
and you will be my fill,
yes you will be my fill.

My Lady d'Arbanville,
why does it grieve me so?
But your heart seems so silent.
Why do you breathe so low,
why do you breathe so low?

My Lady d'Arbanville,
why do you sleep so still?
I'll wake you tomorrow,
and you will be my fill,
yes you will be my fill.

My Lady d'Arbanville,
you look so cold tonight.
Your lips feel like winter,
your skin has turned to white,
your skin has turned to white.

My Lady d'Arbanville,
why do you sleep so still?
I'll wake you tomorrow
and you will be my fill,
yes you will be my fill.

La la la la la la...

My Lady d'Arbanville,
why does it grieve me so?
But your heart seems so silent.
Why do you breathe so low,
why do you breathe so low?

I loved you my lady,
though in your grave you lie,
I'll always be with you
This rose will never die,
this rose will never die.

This rose will never die,
this rose will never die.

Trouble oh, trouble set me free.
I have seen your face and it's too much, too much for me.

Trouble, oh , trouble can't you see?
You're eating my heart away
and there's nothing much left of me.
I have drunk you wine.
You have made yours worth mine
so won't you be fair?
So won't you be fair?
I don't want no more of you
so won't you be kind to me
so let me go where,
I want to go there.

Trouble
Oh, trouble
move away
I have seen your face
and It's to much for me today.

Trouble, oh, trouble
can't you see?
You have made me a wreck
now won't you leave me in my misery?
I have seen your eyes
and I can see Death's disguise
hangin' on me, hangin' on me.
I am beat and torn,
shattered and tossed and worn,
too shocking to see
too shocking to see

Trouble, oh, trouble
move from me
I have paid my debt
now won't you leave me in my misery.

Trouble, oh, trouble
please be kind.
I don't want no fight
and I haven't got a lot of time.

Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes.
Or taking a ride on a cosmic train.
Switch on summer from a slot machine.
Yes, get what you want to if you want, cause you can get anything.

I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?

Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass.
For your lorry loads pumping petrol gas.
And you make them long, and you make them tough.
But they just go on and on, and it seems that you can't get off.

Oh, I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?

Well you've cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air.
But will you keep on building higher
til there's no more room up there?
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?

I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?

I'm looking for a hard headed woman
one who will take me for myself
and if I find my hard headed
woman I won't need nobody else
No, no, no

I'm looking for a hard headed woman
one who will make me do my best
and if I find my hard headed woman
I know the rest of my life will be blessed
yes, yes, yes

I know a lot of fancy dancers
people who can glide you on a floor
they move so smooth but have no answers, whoh
When you ask them, "What d'you come here for?" "I don't know" "Why?"

I know many fine feathered friends
but their friendliness depends on how you do
They know many sure fired ways
to find out the one who pays
and how you do.

I'm looking for a hard headed woman
one who will make me feel so good
and if I find my hard headed woman
wo, I know my life will be as it should
yes yes yes.

I'm looking for a hard headed woman
one who will make me do my best
and if I find my hard headed woman . . .

Now that I`ve lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
And it`s breakin` my heart you`re leavin`
Baby, I`m grievin`
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
Oh, baby, baby, it`s a wild world
It`s hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it`s a wild world
I`ll always remember you like a child, girl

You know I`ve seen a lot of what the world can do
And it`s breakin` my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you a sad girl
Don`t be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there`s a lot of bad and beware
Oh, baby, baby, it`s a wild world
It`s hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it`s a wild world
I`ll always remember you like a child, girl

Baby, I love you
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there`s a lot of bad and beware
Oh, baby, baby, it`s a wild world
It`s hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it`s a wild world
I`ll always remember you like a child, girl

She hangs her head and, cries on my shirt.
She must be hurt very badly.
Tell me what!'s making you sadly?
Open your door, don't hide in the dark.
You're lost in the dark, you can trust me.
'Cause you know that's how it must be.

Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa...

Her eyes like windows, tricklin' rain
Upon her pain getting deeper.
Though my love wants to relieve her,
She walks alone from wall to wall.
Lost in a hall, she can't hear me!
Though I know she likes to be near me,

Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa...

(music.......violin)

She sits in a corner, by the door.
There must be more I can tell her.
If she really wants me to help her,
I'll do what I can to show her the way.
And maybe one day I will free her,
Though I know no one can see her.

Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa...

Father And Son
by Cat Stevens



It`s not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You`re still young, that`s your fault
There`s so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old but I`m happy
I was once like you are now
And I know that it`s not easy to be calm
When you`ve found something going on
But take your time, think a lot
Think of everything you`ve got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not
How can I try to explain
When I do he turns away again
And it`s always been the same
Same old story
From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen
Now there`s a way and I know
That I have to go away
I know I have to go
instrumental break
It`s not time to make a change
Just sit down, take it slow
You`re still young, that`s your fault
There`s so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old but I`m happy
All the times that I`ve cried
Keeping all the things I know inside
And it`s hard, but it`s harder to ignore it
If they were right I`d agree
But it`s them they know, not me
Now there`s a way and I know
That I have to go away
I know I have to go

Don't be shy, just let your feelings roll on by
Don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there
Just lift your head and let your feelings out instead
And don't be shy, just let your feelings roll on by
On by, on by
On by, on by, on by
On by, on by
On by, on by

You know, love is better than a song
Love is where all of us belong
So don't be shy, just let your feelings roll on by
Don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there
You're there, you're there
You're there, you're there, you're there
You're there, you're there
You're there, you're there

Don't be shy, just let your feelings roll on by
And don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there
Just lift your head and let your feelings out instead
No, don't be shy, just let your feelings roll on by
On by, on by
On by, on by, on by
On by, on by
On by, on by

I listen to the Wind
To the wind of my soul
Where I'll end up well, I think
Only God really Knows

I've sat upon the setting sun
But never never never
I never wanted water once
No never never never

I listen to my words
But they fall far below
I let my music take me
Where my heart wants to go

I've swam upon the devil's lake
But never never never
I'll never make the same mistake
No never never never

Oh, I'm being followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow

And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land,
Oh if I ever lose my hands, oh if.... I wont have to work no more.
And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colors all run dry,
Yes if I ever lose my eyes, oh if.... I wont have to cry no more.

Oh, I'm being followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow

And if I ever lose my legs, I wont moan, and I wont beg,
Yes if I ever lose my legs, oh if.... I wont have to walk no more.
And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south,
Yes if I ever lose my mouth, oh if.... I wont have to talk...

Did it take long to find me? I asked the faithful light.
Did it take long to find me? And are you gonna stay the night?

Oh, I'm being followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow

Morning Has Broken

Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the world
아침이 밝았습니다 태초의 아침처럼
검은 새가 울었습니다 태초의 새처럼
새의 노래를 찬양해요 아침이 온것을 찬양해요
그들이 세상에서 싱그런 모습으로 솟아남을 찬양합니다.

Sweet the rain's new fall sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass
새로 내린 비처럼 달콤하게
하늘의 햇빛을 받아 마치 처음 내린 이슬처럼
처음자란 잔디 위를 적셔오네요
그분의 발자국이 지나가 완벽한 모습으로 태어난
젖은 풀밭의 상큼함을 찬양합니다.

Mine is the sunlight mine is the morning
Born of the one light eden saw play
Praise with elation praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
이 햇빛은 나의것 이 아침은 나의 것
에덴의 탄생을 지켜보았던 한줄기 빛으로 태어난
아침 넘치는 기쁨으로 찬양합니다
신이 만들어 주신 새로운 하루를.

I gave my last chance to you
Don't hand it back to me bitterblue
No bitterblue

Yes, I've done all one man can do
Don't pass me up oh bitterblue
My bitterblue

Cause I've been running a long time
On this travelling ground
Wishing hard to be free
Of going round and round
Yes I've been moving a long time
But only up and down
I gave my last hope to you
Don't hand it back to me bitterblue
My bitterblue

I've done all one man can do
Please help me lose this bitterblue
My bitterblue
Cause I've been waiting a long time
Aeons been and gone --
Looking at the horizon
For my light to dawn
Oh yes I've been living a long time
Looking on and on

I've been running a long time
Summers come and gone --
Drifting under the dream clouds
Past the broken sun --

Yes I've been living a long time
To be back beyond
I gave my first chance to you
Don't hand it back bitterblue
My bitterblue

I've done all one man can do
Don't pass me up oh bitterblue
My bitterblue, bitterblue

I gave my last chance to you
Don't hand it back to me bitterblue

Now, I've been happy lately,
Thinkin' about the good things to come
And I believe it could be;
Something good has begun.

Oh, I've been smilin' lately,
Dreamin' about the world as one
And I believe it could be;
Some day it's going to come

'Cause out on the edge of darkness,
There rides a peace train.
Oh, peace train take this country.
Come take me home again.

Now, I've been smiling lately,
Thinkin' about the good things to come
And I believe it could be;
Something good has begun.

Oh, peace train soundin' louder.
Glide on the peace train.
Ooh, ah, ee, ah, ooh, ah.
Come on, now peace train.

Yes, peace train holy roller.
Everyone jump on the peace train.
Ooh, ah, ee, ah, ooh, ah.
Come on, now peace train.

Get your bags together.
Go bring your good friends too
Because it's gettin' nearer;
It soon will be with you.

Now, come and join the livin'.
It's not so far from you
And it's gettin' nearer;
Soon it will all be true.

Oh, peace train soundin' louder.
Glide on the peace train.
Ooh, ah, ee, ah, ooh, ah.
Come on, now peace train.
Peace train.

Now, I've been cryin' lately,
Thinkin' about the world as it is.
Why must we go on hating?
Why can't we live in bliss?

'Cause out on the edge of darkness,
There rides a peace train.
Oh, peace train take this country.
Come take me home again.

Oh, peace train soundin' louder.
Glide on the peace train.
Ooh, ah, ee, ah, ooh, ah.
Come on, now peace train.

Yes, peace train holy roller.
Everyone jump on the peace train.
Ooh, ah, ee, ah, ooh, ah.
Come on, come on, come on.
Yeah, come on, peace train.
Yes, it's the peace train.
Ooh, ah, ee, ah, ooh, ah.
Come on, now peace train.
Peace train.
Ooh, ah, ee, ah, ooh, ah.

Oh I'm on my way, I know I am
Somewhere not so far from here
All I know is all I feel right now
I feel the power growing in my hair

Sitting on my own not by myself
Everybody's here with me
I don't need to touch your face to know
And I don't need to use my eyes to see

I keep on wondering if I sleep too long
Will I always wake up the same (or so)?
And keep on wondering if I sleep too long
Will I even wake up again (or something)

Oh I'm on my way I know I am
But times there were when I thought not
Bleeding half my soul in bad company
I thank the moon I had the strength to stop

I'm not making love to anyone's wishes
Only for that light I see
'Cause when I'm dead and lowered low in my grave
That's gonna be the only thing that's left of me

And if I make it to the waterside
Will I even find me a boat (or so)?
And if I make it to the waterside
I'll be sure to write you note (or something)

Oh I'm on my way, I know I am
Somewhere not so far from here
All I know is all I feel right now
I feel the power growing in my hair

Oh life is like a maze of doors
And they all open from the side you're on
Just keep on pushing hard boy, try as you may
You're going to wind up where you started from
You're going to wind up where you started from

Silent sunlight, welcome in
There is work I must now begin
All my dreams have blown away
And the children want to play
They'll soon remember things to do
When the heart is young
And the night is done
And the sky is blue

Morning songbird, sing away
Lend a tune to another day
Bring your wings and choose a roof
Sing a song of love and truth
We'll soon remember if you do
When all things were tall
And our friends were small
And the world was new

Sleepy horses, heave away
Put your backs to the golden hay
Don't ever look behind at the work you've done
For your work has just begun
There'll be the evening in the end
But till that time arrives
You can rest your eyes
And begin again

She moves like and angel
And seven evening stars
Dance through the window
Of her universal house
Of her universal house

Her voice a crystal echo
Lies humming in your soul
So patiently awaiting
For your ears to behold
For your ears to behold

She ripples on the water
Leaves diamonds on the shore
And fish from every distance
Watch her ocean cellar door
Her breath a warm fire
In every lovers heart
A mistress to magicians
And a dancer to the gods
And a dancer to the gods

Her clothes are made of rainbows
And twenty thousand tears
Shine through the spaces
Of her golden ochre hair
Ooh my babe I want you
and on my life I swear
My conscience will I follow you forever
If you meet me everywhere
Yes if you if you meet me everywhere

Oh I can't keep it in, I can't keep it in, I've gotta let it out.
I've got to show the world, world's got to see, see all the love
love that's in me. I said, why walk alone,
why worry when it's warm over here?
You've got so much to say, say what you mean,
mean what you're thinking, and think anything.

Oh why, why must you waste your life away,
you've got to live for today,
then let it go
Oh, lover, I want to spend this time with you,
there's nothing I wouldn't do,
If you let me know.

And I can't keep it in, I can't hide it and I can't lock it away.
I'm up for your love, love heats my blood,
blood spins my head, and my head falls in love, oh.

No, I can't keep it in, I can't keep it in, I've gotta let it out.
I've gotta show the world, world's got to know,
know of the love, love that lies low, so
Why can't you say, If you know, then why can't you say.
You've got too much deceit, deceit kills the light,
light needs to shine, I said shine light, shine light.

Love, That's no way to live your life,
you allow too much to go by,
and that won't do.
No, lover. I want to have you here by my side
Now don't you run, don't you hide,
while I'm with you.

'N I can't keep it in, I can't keep it in, I've gotta let it out.
I've got to show the world, world's got to see, see all the love
love that's in me. I said, why walk alone,
why worry when it's warm over here.
You've got so much to say, say what you mean,
mean what you're thinking, and think anything.
Why not?
Now why why why not?

Well I rode a while, for a mile or so
Down the road to the 18th Avenue
And the people I saw were the people I know
And they all came down to take a view
The path was dark and borderless
Down the road to the 18th Avenue
And it stung my tongue to repeat the words
That I used to use only yesterday
Meanings just dropped to the ground
I tried to remember what I thought
And what I used to say
Don't let me go down, no don't let me go

Oh my hands were tied as I struggled inside
The empty waste of another day
Memories were blank to my eyes
The fire and the glory of that night
Seemed safely locked away
Too hungry to rise, oh too hungry to

Well I rode a while, for a mile or so
Down the road to the 18th Avenue
And the people I saw were the people I know
And they all came down to take a view
The path was dark and borderless
Down the road to the 18th Avenue
But my head felt better as I turned the car
And the airport slowly came to view
One mile said the sign
Oh! I Checked my bags and made it straight to end gate 22
Made it just in time, boy you made it just in time

You say you want to seek the truth, but it's hard to find
No one to help you, your friends don't have the time
So you ride around in your car. switch on the radio
You want to relate to something you once read in a book
What kind of a way to try to take a look

Until I got hurt I was looking, I was on my way
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I painted my face grey
Until I got hurt, 'till got hurt, why didn't I
I didn't think of this until I got hurt
'Till I got hurt. baby. I didn't know' what love is

You say you want to learn to laugh 'cause music makes you cry
But the tears you shed are only in your eye
So you turn to any phoney mouth with a tale to tell
But he's just a hoaxer don't you know, selling peace and religion
Between his jokes and his karma chewing gum

Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was the same as you
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, I did not know what to do
Until I got hurt, 'till I got hurt, why didn't I
I didn't think of this until I got hurt
'Till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is

Young son, don't let me down, young son
I'm trusting you to keep on, never turn away now
Hold on, never let go, now hold on
Turn your heart to the bright sun
Love will come your way
Cos 'till you make that final show
You'll never know what love you've been missing
Missing

You say you want to seek the truth but you work alone
No one to help you and nobody to push you on
So you sit at home drinking your wine, television on
You wait for a miracle, cos you say one day one'll come along
(But wishful thinking, boy) any minute now You might be gone
I'd like to help you brother but that would be wrong

Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was on my way
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I didn't know which way
Until I got hurt, 'till I got hurt, why didn't I
I didn't think of this until I got hurt
'Till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is

Until I got hurt, oh I didn't know what love is

There are no words, I can use
Because the meaning still leaves for you to choose
And I couldn't stand to let them be abused, by you.

Dreams I had just last night
Made me scared, white with fright
But I'm over to that Sunnyside Road
Over to that Sunnyside Road

Fortunes come and fortunes go
But things get better babe, that's one thing I know
And I'm over to that Sunnyside Road
Over to that Sunnyside Road

I have a friend that I have met
Who gives me love and a certain respect
Just a little respect, everybody needs just a little respect
That means you. . .you...

And in a little while our love will spread
To you
Ain't no matter who inside this world you know
There'll he someone who will love you just for who you are
Really are

Dreams I had just last night
Made me worried to face up to the light
But I'm over to that Sunnyside Road
Over to that Sunnyside Road

Come on now it's freedom calling
Come on over and find yourself
Come on now it's freedom calling
Come on in and remind yourself

Oh darling, you see my face
But it's in my heart that's where it's taking place
And I couldn't stand to let it go to waste
Can you ...

Oh love, sweet blue love
No man can ever get enough
But maybe one day we'll all die in love
Will you . .. Oh love, sweet love, my... love

Oh babe, understand
Take my love that's all I have at hand
Please say you will ... Don't say you can't
Oh Will you Will you Will you

The moment you walked inside my door
I knew' that I need not look no more
I've seen many other girls before, ah but darling
Heaven must've programmed you

The moment you fell inside my dreams
I realised all I had not seen
I've seen many other girls before, ah hot darling
Heaven must've programmed you

You can live in the largest house
And eleven apartments too
Run your own private plane
And a boat in Malibu

But 'till you know' deep down what inside you really need
Well I love you baby, Ooh my dear
And I think about you sometimes
But when you're with me boy it chokes my mind

Come on now it's freedom calling
Come on over and find yourself
Come on now it's freedom calling
Come on in and remind yourself

Man must fight for freedom sure that's what most other people would say
Look for a body to lead them but there's too many to lead them away.
Why wait until it's your time to die before you learn what you were born to do'?
Come on now it's freedom calling but there's only one freedom for you.
Love, love boy...
And I can't wait to be with you tomorrow night.

Won't you give me your word that you won't laugh
Cos you've been a saving grace to me
And I'd hate to face a day without you around
My life would be without sound

Love, love, love, love must've made you on a Sunday
Cos you taste to me as good as God made honey taste babe
And the sky all glistens with gold
When you're talking to me
And the whirling wind turns to song
Why it sets my soul free

Love, love. love. love must've made you on a Sunday

There are no words. I can use
Because the meaning still leaves for you to choose
And I couldn't stand to let them be abused, by you

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
Youre only dancing on this earth for a short while
And though your dreams may toss and turn you now
They will vanish away like your daddys best jeans
Denim Blue fading up to the sky
And though you want him to last forever
You know he never will
(You know he never will )
And the patches make the goodbye harder still

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
Therell never be a better chance to change your mind
And if you want this world to see a better day
Will you carry the words of love with you
Will you ride the great white bird into heaven
And though you want to last forever
You know you never will
(You know you never will )
And the goodbye makes the journey harder still

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
Youre only dancing on this earth for a short while
Oh very young
What will you leave us this time

He was the king of trees
keeper of the leaves,
A deep green guard of young
love-stained memory,
We used to meet by him
far from the hustling town
I loved you,
Now they've come to cut you down...down

He was the guardian of
days we held the same,
Beneath the shade he gave
shelter fromthe rain,
Oh Lord how it's empty now
with nothing save the breeze
I loved you,
Now they've come to burn the leaves
Don't burn the leaves

And if my mind breaks up in all
so many ways,
I know the meaning of the words "I love you",
And if my body falls inside
an early grave,
The forest and the evergreens
are coming to take me back,
So slowly
as I roll down the track

The forest and the evergreen
are coming to take me back,
The forest and the evergreen
are coming to take me back,
Please take me back!

He was the king of trees
Keeper of the glades,
The way he lightened my life
makes me so amazed,
We used to meet by him
many years ago
I loved you,
Now they've to lay the road-oh-oh,
Oh!
Don't lay the road

Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

I got in town a month ago
I seen a lot of girls since then
If I could meet 'em I could get 'em
But as yet I haven't met 'em
That's how I'm in the state I'm in

Oh,
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

Another fella told me
He had a sister who looked just fine
Instead of bein' my deliv'rance
She had a strange resemblance
To a cat named Frankenstein

Ooh, la,
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way.

It's hard on a fella
When he don't know his way around
If I don't find me a honey
To help me spend my money
I'm gonna have to blow this town

Oh, no
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way.

You've got to learn, to brighten up your ways
Kick out your dull padded life
There's much to know, and no doors in space
They were only mirrors you imagined in your mind
Now that you've got no place to go
And you stand alone
Know that there's just one place to be
And it's in your soul, oh
Like drywood takes to fire the truth will come to you
Like streams that seek the ocean they will find ways through
Like morning meets the moon, my love will guide the way
It's time to wipe your eyes not, and awake
I've come to take you over, there's much for you to do
I've come to take you over, then it's up to you

Be like the light, in the shadows
Throw down your mask and be real
Don't wish to win, and don't mind to lose
That was just a cycle like a squirrel in a wheel
Now that you've got no place to look
And you stand alone
Know that's there's just one place to be
And it is your home, oh
Like fish that seek the water, the truth will come to you
Like leaves upon the soil, they will find ways through
Like flowers seek the sun, my love will guide the way
It's time to wipe your eyes now, and awake.

You say you're really with me but you only follow me around
How much you love me yes,
But I don't want the kind of love
I have to sit down and count

You think you're free and lucky but you're stuck behind a prison wall
How well you know yourself
But I see something else within you
That you don't see at all
You may give up your number, disowning all your wealth
You may sell all the pieces, but you'll
Never never never give up
Yourself, oh no no no.

Like drywood takes to fire the truth will come to you
Like streams that seek the ocean they will find ways through
Like morning meets the night's stars, my love will guide the way
It's time to wipe your eyes not, and awake
I've come to take you over, there's much for you to do
I've come to take you over, then it's up to you.

Remember the days of the old schoolyard
We used to laugh a lot, oh don't you?
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
When we had imaginings and we had
All kinds of things and we laughed
And needed love, yes, I do
Oh and I remember you

Remember the days of the old schoolyard
We used to cry a lot, oh don't you?
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
When we had simplicity and we had
Warm toast for tea and we laughed
And needed love, yes, I do
Oh and I remember you

You were my sweet love, my first sweet love
My lovey dove my love, lovey dove
No matter what place, whichever the place
I still see your face, your smiling face

In childish dreams, inside my dreams
Like King and Queen, God save our dreams
N'though time may face, though time may fade
It ain't never too late to learn about love
Learn about love

Remember the days of the old schoolyard
We used to laugh a lot, oh don't you?

I was seventeen,
You were working for Matthew and Son,
The Beatles met the Queen, and I wrote
I'm gonna get me a gun, yeah, yeah
It was like a dream in the star machine,
Oh, no, izitso, izitso?

I never wanted to be a star,
I never wanted to travel far
I only wanted a little bit of love
So I could put a little love in my heart

I never wanted to be la-de-da,
Go to parties "Avec le bourgeois"
I only wanted to sing my song well,
So I could ring a small bell in your heart
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I was on the road,
Sleeping between lorry lights, oh no
Stone-drunk and cold,
Heading into a bad night, yeah, yeah
Just another bean in the star machine, hi ho,
Here I go, here I go

I never wanted to be a star
Buy my mum a Ferrari car
I only wanted to run my own race,
So I could win a small place in your heart
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Nature found a way,
It picked me up off the dark side, yeah, yeah
Showed me another day, it made me sing
"I think I see the light"
Not another bean in the star machine, oh no,
This time I won't go

I never wanted to be a star,
I never wanted to travel far
I only wanted a little bit of love
So I could put a little love in my heart

if you don't love me
please don't treat me this way
cause i can't stand it
i see our love slipping away
did you think you could just put me down
like a worn out shoe
cause if you don't want me
maybe i don't want you

if you don't need me
don't leave me out in the cold
eyes drifting by me
like somebody you don't know
did you think that you could just walk away
anytime you wanted to
cause if you don't love me
maybe i don't love you

did you think that you could just put me down
for somebody new
cause nobody can love you girl like i do
every little bird in the sky
would sing a song of love

if you would just take me back
come on open up your heart again
let me in baby baby

if you don't love me
stop fooling yourself
no more acting
i know your show too well
did you think that you could just shake my hand
with a how d'y'do
cause if you don't want me
maybe i don't want you

oh and as you go through life
it's the little things that come back again
if you came back again
you know i'd give my loving to you
