Where have the flowers gone sun-children
Your shirts are loud and your hair is long Now do you ever think we'll make it Something more than a uniform And we're almost there We learn to love and we learn to give And we earn the flowers in our hair Where has the vision gone sun-children Colours glow but your eyes are closed I swear I still believe we'll make it In your eyes I see your soul And we're almost there We learn to love and we learn to give And we earn the flowers in our hair my friend So take my hand One day is always too far away I wish we had the hearts of children Their eyes are wide and their love is pure But we only dare to say 'please love me' At the seventh glass of wine... |

Bright in flames
They're melting with the snow Precious wishes Heavenwards they go Secrets keep, no-one need ever know When you're in the clouds In the clouds, in the clouds, In the clouds, in the clouds, You're just a breath away Painted words are whispered It's no prayer Whispering words Are drifting like the snow When you're in the clouds In the clouds, in the clouds, In the clouds, in the clouds, You're just a breath away Away, away, away, away Away, away, away, away Away When you're in the clouds In the clouds, in the clouds, In the clouds, in the clouds, In the clouds, You're just a breath away In the clouds, in the clouds, In the clouds, in the clouds, In the clouds, You're just a breath away |

Calling Your Name
Man possessed Can find no rest, Waking for his nightmare. Safe in bed, But in his head He knows her soul resides there "I'll be the breeze That blows the candle out And chills the room As summer burns without... Calling your name." Love lamented, His soul tormented, Sleeping in the embers. As good as dead, He's lost his head - But how ? No-one remembers ! "I'll be the hand That guides your hand to write I'll turn you pale With ink and second-sight... Calling your name." "I'll be your skin, I'll turn you black and blue... I'll be your breath... The life and death of you... Calling your name." |

Like a bird I'm living on the wing and on the run
I'm wondering if paradise was won by the gun You gather fruit from danger trees See more than you want to see Too late, too late... We didn't know what it was And all we know is we've lost it We threw away paradise And all we know is we've dreamt it Will it ever come again When you call ? So catch if angels should Fall in your arms For every night a reaching hand A thousand snake mouths open wide Too late, too late... We didn't know what it was And all we know is we've lost it We threw away paradise And all we know is we've dreamt it Don't know where to go Don't think you'll find it I kneel down somewhere So maybe they'll find me You may have your dreams But heaven you steal Live by the sword Live by the gun Never to rest 'Til your heaven is won We didn't know what it was And all we know is we've lost it We threw away paradise And all we know is we've dreamt it Gonna get it back Gonna get it back Will it ever come again...? |

I sit by the harbour
The sea calls to me I hide in the water But l need to breathe You are an ocean wave, my love Crashing at the bow I am a galley slave, my love If only I could find out the way To sail you Maybe I'll just stow away I've been run aground So sad for a sailor I felt safe and sound But needed the danger You are an ocean wave, my love Crashing at the bow I am a galley slave, my love If only I would find out the way To sail you Maybe I'll just stow away You are an ocean wave, my love Crashing at the bow I am a galley slave, my love If only I would find out the way To sail you Maybe I'll just stow away Stow away Stow away |

On our own trip
On our emerald ship we sail away The ocean holds a thousand tales untold With this love It's easy come and easy go Just like the way we were Before the fall I don't see the reason why Every angel must fly I'm betrayed by the tear in my eye In my eye... Hey angel Don't be afraid to earth your heart When I see love descending like a dove Confusion... the song you hear the blackbird sing You fly to the sun And you're going to burn your wings I don't see the reason why Every angel must fly I'm betrayed by the tear in my eye In my eye... Well, I know every angel must fly You're flying too high You're flying too high Just see the reason why The angel must fly No more tears in my eye We can live in the sky High, high, high, high |

Can't see the wood for all of the trees
Can't hear the wind for the breeze that whispers Voice in your head... you like what it said So what can you do but listen to it? What kind of fool Lays all that's precious to waste? What kind of fool Leaves all their treasure to rust in the rain? They'll need it again when the sky clears What kind of fool Won't discover the jewel 'Til the dust clears ? Fools like us... Fools who want more than they've treasured before Wanting the dawn of the brightest morning Reach for the stars 'cause they're sweeter by far Than the moon 'though she's brighter And closer to you... What kind of fool Lays all that's precious to waste? What kind of fool Leaves all their treasure to rust in the rain?

There's a place I know
Where the children go Every summer's night. They run as fast they can Behind the Raven-Man... Who shall he invite ? The rather awkward girl With the ragged curls Much to her delight ! "Come with me to the candy tree You need to free your mind... Come with me to the candy tree And leave it all behind - " Well it's an underhand Kind of wonderland - She can't find the door; Because he's keeping her as a prisoner, Lost forevermore. And now the Queen is red And she wants her head Just to keep the law. "Come with me to the candy tree... |

Baby sings the blues... for you
She may get happy later Baby cries for comfort For something to surround her And when she sings it You believe her How everyone she ever knew Would leave her spinning 'round All on fire Another wild hearted woman Another child with the stars in her eyes A wild hearted woman And she's falling... falling Baby's lost her soul... to you Call her a fallen angel Stormy weather forever With every friend a stranger And when she sings it You believe her How everyone she ever knew Would leave her spinning 'round All on fire Another wild hearted woman Another child with the stars in her eyes A wild hearted woman And she's falling... falling Lost little girl In hurricanes of love and pain Locked in her world Of daisy chains and love and pain Trying to find peace of mind Another wild hearted woman... Another child with the stars in her eyes A wild hearted woman And she's falling... falling Another wild hearted woman... Another child with the stars in her eyes A wild hearted woman And she's falling... falling |

How cruel am I to pass you by now?
And it's, a cold December, In the heat of next July now, Will you or won't you remember? Chorus: Our summer, will come again, Our summer, melts the ice again, Our summer, will come again, Our summer, melts the ice again. Gypsy whispers with her wild eyes, So heavy-handed with the heather, She says a change of heart lies, With a change, in the weather. Chorus x2 Chorus x 3 |

Girl in a uniform
Grey and white and crisp, clean How can I live in your world Of strawberry flowers And colourful hours Lovingly I dust all the dust on your shelf Kiss the mirror clean Where you glance at yourself I know what to do Maybe a letter I'll send From underground and wait to be found out Lovingly I press out the ink on the page Carefully I'd scent it In stock from the meadow It is dark... in the meadow It is dark... in the meadow It is dark... in the meadow I spill it all as I pour Red wine will stain... remember There's none for the little girl blue Who lives down the stairs And loves like the stars But I must not forget That I am what I am And you must not forget That you are who you are It is dark... in the meadow It is dark... in the meadow It is dark... in the meadow It is dark... |

Love child
Sugar and spices scattered all around you Stay awhile Say something strange and someone may believe you What do you get when you give your love? It can't be gold You can't be sold It can't be silver 'Cause silver never pleased you Like hanging around the flowers Like honeybees do With dark eyes Glistening with tears 'Cause heaven still eludes you |

Dress me in scarlet
Ribbons and bows so everyone knows I'm hiding a face That hasn't the grace to go free. Dress me in shadows Sad April skies have opened my eyes To the lie that I live And given the river away I'll change these clothes if I want to, and I do I think that I've found out What no-one's about to tell me I think that I've found out I don't wear scarlet well. Waiting before me Poets and painters may say; "When will you stumble our way Kick off your red shoes and fly now" I'll die for their words if I want to, and I do. Always before me Poets and sages may say; "We've been lamenting your fall And carving it all into stone here And skimming them into the river, just for you..." I think that I've found out What no-one's about to tell me I think that I've found out The place where angels fell from... I think that I've found out I don't wear scarlet well. |

Behind me, a caravan weighed down
With bad dreams and ghosts of apologies There's no room, no room inside For a hitcher with a suitcase of pride Before me, a stallion pulls like the moon Sun through the trees tells me I'll be there soon The wind cries, 'cause she saw me crying About the times I find myself lying. I must have fallen by the wayside The wheels crack beneath my foolish pride Give me a sign in your direction And show me to road to your soul. Unhitch the wagon 'cause it hinders me I'll hitch my skirts up and go carelessly, Barefoot and riding bareback Wind in my hair, it feels like honesty. I must have fallen by the wayside The wheels crack beneath my foolish pride Give me a sign in your direction And show me to road to your soul. I must have fallen by the wayside The wheels crack beneath my foolish pride Give me a sign in your direction And show me to road to your soul. To your soul, to your soul. Give me a sign in your direction And show me to road to your soul. Close the chapter on a journey... Burn the book and give me sanctuary, In your arms it feels like... In your arms it feels like... It feels like home. |

Reaching out a hand
There's a hand you want to hold When the night feels blue The hand feels cold The fog takes my breath But we've got to keep breathing now Gonna live to tell the tale Gonna live to tell the tale The drowning man And the drowning lady They're soaked to the skin Clean like ivy "I can't let you go" she says, "Hold me now - keep me alive" The fog comes down And stars fall down The moon leaves the sky Can't ask why Got to keep dreaming Leave me now Safely in your arms Felt like home I wanna go home now Gonna live to tell the tale |

There's a Victorian tin, I keep my memories in,
I found it up in the attic. After looking inside, I find the things that I'm hiding... The leaves saved from a mistletoe kiss, Only nostalgia has me feeling like this... Like I miss you, It must be the time of year. Remember December, It's like a wintergreen beside a diamond stream, Remember December, A fall of snow and the afterglow. It could be taking our breath away But the years stand in the way, Remember December, How does it make you feel inside? Beneath a Valentine, I see a locket is shining I think it must be the wine, Makes me feel it's all real. Where nothing seems to rhyme To breathe life into the dust of a keepsake I might as well try to fix a chain on a snowflake Or a heartache, It must be the time of year. Remember December, It's like a wintergreen beside a diamond stream, Remember December, A fall of snow and the afterglow. It could be taking our breath away But the years stand in the way, Remember December, How does it make you feel inside? Should I feel this alone, should I pick up the phone Should I call you up and wish you 'Happy Christmas'? I feel so alone, should I pick up the phone Take my heart in my hand And ask if you remember December, It's like a wintergreen beside a diamond stream, Remember December, A fall of snow and the afterglow. It could be taking our breath away But the years stand in the way, Remember December, How does it make you feel inside? |

Six o'clock, all the closing shops
And the rainbows on the pavements Of a sleepy town. October leaves were wept from the trees In tears of grief and strange relief And sympathy.... all for me. Do you remember walking out The day it rained forever And you were wondering If I held dreams of wedding rings Well, farewell Mr. Sorrow Tomorrow is my own. I believe we made a vow Beside the fireside but I'm sure I lied When I promised you That I would never want sing Along with anything But for the strings of your guitar Here you are... So this is how a Judas kisses Well, this is my kiss. |

Were you looking for a sister
Or looking for your mother ? I was looking for a love inspired I didn't need a little brother to hold When the wind blew cold A string of hearts lie in your wake You tried to take along for the ride I must be out of my head To get strung out on your silver thread A strange way of showing your love You had a strange way.... I hear you met a young girl I hear she is your lover So when you break her young, sweet heart She'll find it easy to recover Not like me, I took you seriously And for a while I lost my smile, I lost my way but I found something out.... It's going to take something more than you To break a spirit like mine A strange way of showing your love Just for the thrill of it all But then the future is blind Just for the thrill of it all I'm good at wasting my time But I'm on my way, I've had enough The winter comes the wind blows cold.... It isn't forever. |

I'm nowhere that I've ever been
I'm no-one, I can't remember me Make it all go You're showing me heaven When your door is always closed Like the church doors are When you need a little Jesus Outside his business hours You know, where were you When I needed you to Hold me, give a little beat of your heart to me You've got to hold me, it's like the rhythm of life to me How I long to take some comfort From your arms I am denied I never relied On the comfort or charity of strangers Hear all the low, lonely lullabies I love Dearer than life. The warmth of a friend that I could depend on To listen to me. What would they find in the ashes then A paper doll who thought she was a dancer Fusing with the molten grey Of a soldier of tin Who happened once along her way ? |

Dazed in the twilight
I see the mayfly fly Clustering 'round streetlamps of a small town Rush around, around Flicker to the ground like snow... Or the embers of a drowsy fire in cinders Ephemeral, perpetual... And frail, pale, Written in water, fading As the clothes we wore drift to the shore In waves.... In choirs, in spires. White dressed... moon blessed... Milk... breast... flower... Wishing the hours away... Time, still fleeting Transcending, neverending Still meeting here with eternity Still hand in hand Washed clean of sand, like shells... Then time flies by And moments die in thousands Enshrouded, clouded White dressed... moon blessed Milk... breast... flower Wishing the hours away Soft-fleshed... dark nest... Miles away..... |

She saw that he closed the door
She stole a look in the guarded book His prose was a line of crows On a washing line in the summer time And the wind blew the crows around Some made the sky, some hit the ground She never heard a fuller sound It comes as no surprise; She's in love with the dreamer, So in love with his world. He had songs you could sing along to In any time, in any key. They were jewels in elysian pools In eternity for all to see And the water helped the jewels to shine, Some like the stars and some like wine In the eyes of earthbound angels It comes as no surprise... He makes her close her eyes, He helps her paint the skies blue. And the seventh dream was, so surreal When the dreamer broke the seventh seal And butterflies all lost their wheels It comes as no surprise... |

Have you ever wondered much at all
About your behaviour Or worried about the role you play Grey against the scenery? Black cloud calls by Black cloud, blue sky Black birds, your words Too dark to fly When reason starts to fade and fall away I want to take a gun to you Rain another day... While we move as angels Gather up your blues and clear the way I hate the games you play While we're touched by Jesus Gather up your blues And get out of the way Sand invades your shoes like a desert It's nothing to die about And our heels are high enough To crush the lizard Take 'em off and shake it out The sting in the tail Is destined to fail Our skin, takes in no poison "So the next time you're out stumbling across My little piece of sky, and we know we're In a state of grace and we know we're in A state of mind; and we know we're part Of the state of art and all we really want To be, is free... you've got to receive, you've Got to receive what the spirit says... you've Got to believe what the spirit says... And she says..." Rain another day While we move as angels Gather up your views and clear the way I hate the games you play While we're touched by Jesus Gather up your blues and get out of the way |

Do you feel so small
On sunday afternoon In your loveless house Full of empty rooms Once a place of life Once upon a time flames are dying out While ghosts move in Crossing on the stair Asleep in empty chairs Tell me... are you lonely ? And if we believe wisdom comes with years As knowledge stings our eyes The easier the tears Cradled in the sadness, a heart that ever aches I'm praying with all mine I won't make the same mistakes Are the dark seeds there In the blood we share Tell me... are you lonely ? While love lives, while suns set While snowmoons rise in november skies While ties bind while souls cry While oceans ride in an endless tide While love grows, while blood flows While truth is real you need never feel alone What seems to hurt the most Is giving up the ghost So tell me... are you lonely ? |

After laughing at the stars the time
arrives to coincide with all the chaos and the sparks of when two worlds collide And it's been hours now ; feels like days. We've been hours now, in these waves. We've been phased We've been alchemized...Melted, liquified and dried and left to crystallize. And it's been hours now ; feels like days. We've been hours now in these waves We've been phased... |

My hallucination, every drug that I
need. I love you for your beauty. I love you for the books you read. I watch you laze in the sun, I watch your head come undone ; you smile ; the man and child with bee-stung lips where my tongue trips and curls and you kiss like a girl. It frees me... frees me from the freeze. And with the liberation everything's taken higher ; And every complication, another spark for the fire. You're nothing more than eighteen but you are more than you seem to be. You'll win me with pale white hands and soft demands and ways to set the days ablaze. it frees me from the freeze... You're like a favourite saint kept alive in prayer and paint. One looked a lot like you... saucer-eyed and stoned and out of the blue. |

I know he called me yesterday to
say all the things that he wants to say He walks he talks, he reads my thoughts and he's real when the sun distorts. He spend the weekend half asleep and dream where the sleep is deepest. We walk we talk, reveal our thoughts and we reel when the circuit shorts Is this all that we need ? I don't know. Is this all that we see ? I don't know. Nevermore is just a while and far away is a thousand miles. Years are light but dark the night and everybody's saying it'll be alright. |

the ashes of the sky. My blue raincoat makes me say 'No' today. Hey, when does weather ever change Some finer day, say things go my way ; some finer day, I'll play your sunshiny girl (irony!) Ride the mercury with me see how unpredictable it feels. Red this shelter, where we fell to the ground Found out the weather never changed Some finer day...I'll play your sunshiny girl... And brighten up my world with sunflowers and book I have burned and see what you want me to see and I'll be what you want me to be... |

The sacred and the scared align and
call on me to break the ballerina's spine. My heart has fallen where he lands, when he lands. The sound of every word you said hit like a wave of infra red... I'd really like to stay but I've got to go home, alone. Summer came and summer went while we contrived to re-invent the scene serene. The sound of every word you said hit like a wave of infra red ; I'd really like to stay... Frosted glass the window stains your face and shattered ice becomes kaleidoscopes of colour, taste and sound and turns the ground into the liquid of the sea, the liquid friction of the see-saw swaying, drugged among the shards of splintered snow to where the ultraviolet rays stain the whiteness of your skin where wheels of white light shine and spin towards the essence of the end, then re-beginning in slow-motion... slow-motion... |

Is it fair to say the world's gone bad ?
Is it fair to say that we've been had ? I'm thinking it over, think it over again. This is the time to set the world alight. This is the time to set the world to right. We're taking advantage of a rumour we started. I'm losing the feeling. My life is losing its meaning. He shines so hard. There's nowhere to run. He blinds, his mind outshines the sun. Imagine what he could become He's only begun to outshine the sun. When the gods are shaken from the sky, there's a scientific reason why. There's no wish to replace them and no-one's rushing in to win the race to fill the empty space |

The sea calls to me I hide in the water But l need to breathe You are an ocean wave, my love Crashing at the bow I am a galley slave, my love If only I could find out the way To sail you Maybe I'll just stow away I've been run aground So sad for a sailor I felt safe and sound But needed the danger You are an ocean wave, my love Crashing at the bow I am a galley slave, my love If only I would find out the way To sail you Maybe I'll just stow away You are an ocean wave, my love Crashing at the bow I am a galley slave, my love If only I would find out the way To sail you Maybe I'll just stow away Stow away Stow away |

Can't see the wood for all of the trees
Can't hear the wind for the breeze that whispers Voice in your head... you like what it said So what can you do but listen to it? What kind of fool Lays all that's precious to waste? What kind of fool Leaves all their treasure to rust in the rain? They'll need it again when the sky clears What kind of fool Won't discover the jewel 'Til the dust clears ? Fools like us... Fools who want more than they've treasured before Wanting the dawn of the brightest morning Reach for the stars 'cause they're sweeter by far Than the moon 'though she's brighter And closer to you... What kind of fool Lays all that's precious to waste? What kind of fool Leaves all their treasure to rust in the rain? They'll need it again when the sky clears What kind of fool Won't discover the jewel 'Til the dust clears ? Fools like us... Can't see the wood for all of the trees Can't hear the wind for the breeze that whispers Reach for the stars 'cause they're sweeter by far Than the moon 'though she's brighter And closer to you... What kind of fool Lays all that's precious to waste? What kind of fool Leaves all their treasure to rust in the rain? They'll need it again when the sky clears What kind of fool Won't discover the jewel 'Til the dust clears ? Fools like us, Like us, like us, like us... |

Behind me, a caravan weighed down
With bad dreams and ghosts of apologies There's no room, no room inside For a hitcher with a suitcase of pride Before me, a stallion pulls like the moon Sun through the trees tells me I'll be there soon The wind cries, 'cause she saw me crying About the times I find myself lying. I must have fallen by the wayside The wheels crack beneath my foolish pride Give me a sign in your direction And show me to road to your soul. Unhitch the wagon 'cause it hinders me I'll hitch my skirts up and go carelessly, Barefoot and riding bareback Wind in my hair, it feels like honesty. I must have fallen by the wayside The wheels crack beneath my foolish pride Give me a sign in your direction And show me to road to your soul. I must have fallen by the wayside The wheels crack beneath my foolish pride Give me a sign in your direction And show me to road to your soul. To your soul, to your soul. Give me a sign in your direction And show me to road to your soul. Close the chapter on a journey... Burn the book and give me sanctuary, In your arms it feels like... In your arms it feels like... It feels like home. |

There's a Victorian tin, I keep my memories in,
I found it up in the attic. After looking inside, I find the things that I'm hiding... The leaves saved from a mistletoe kiss, Only nostalgia has me feeling like this... Like I miss you, It must be the time of year. Remember December, It's like a wintergreen beside a diamond stream, Remember December, A fall of snow and the afterglow. It could be taking our breath away But the years stand in the way, Remember December, How does it make you feel inside? Beneath a Valentine, I see a locket is shining I think it must be the wine, Makes me feel it's all real. Where nothing seems to rhyme To breathe life into the dust of a keepsake I might as well try to fix a chain on a snowflake Or a heartache, It must be the time of year. Remember December, It's like a wintergreen beside a diamond stream, Remember December, A fall of snow and the afterglow. It could be taking our breath away But the years stand in the way, Remember December, How does it make you feel inside? Should I feel this alone, should I pick up the phone Should I call you up and wish you 'Happy Christmas'? I feel so alone, should I pick up the phone Take my heart in my hand And ask if you remember December, It's like a wintergreen beside a diamond stream, Remember December, A fall of snow and the afterglow. It could be taking our breath away But the years stand in the way, Remember December, How does it make you feel inside? |

Dress me in scarlet
Ribbons and bows so everyone knows I'm hiding a face That hasn't the grace to go free. Dress me in shadows Sad April skies have opened my eyes To the lie that I live And given the river away I'll change these clothes if I want to, and I do I think that I've found out What no-one's about to tell me I think that I've found out I don't wear scarlet well. Waiting before me Poets and painters may say; "When will you stumble our way Kick off your red shoes and fly now" I'll die for their words if I want to, and I do. Always before me Poets and sages may say; "We've been lamenting your fall And carving it all into stone here And skimming them into the river, just for you..." I think that I've found out What no-one's about to tell me I think that I've found out The place where angels fell from... I think that I've found out I don't wear scarlet well. |

Six o'clock, all the closing shops
And the rainbows on the pavements Of a sleepy town. October leaves were wept from the trees In tears of grief and strange relief And sympathy.... all for me. Do you remember walking out The day it rained forever And you were wondering If I held dreams of wedding rings Well, farewell Mr. Sorrow Tomorrow is my own. I believe we made a vow Beside the fireside but I'm sure I lied When I promised you That I would never want sing Along with anything But for the strings of your guitar Here you are... So this is how a Judas kisses Well, this is my kiss. |

Were you looking for a sister
Or looking for your mother ? I was looking for a love inspired I didn't need a little brother to hold When the wind blew cold A string of hearts lie in your wake You tried to take along for the ride I must be out of my head To get strung out on your silver thread A strange way of showing your love You had a strange way.... I hear you met a young girl I hear she is your lover So when you break her young, sweet heart She'll find it easy to recover Not like me, I took you seriously And for a while I lost my smile, I lost my way but I found something out.... It's going to take something more than you To break a spirit like mine A strange way of showing your love Just for the thrill of it all But then the future is blind Just for the thrill of it all I'm good at wasting my time But I'm on my way, I've had enough The winter comes the wind blows cold.... It isn't forever. |

After laughing at the stars the time
arrives to coincide with all the chaos and the sparks of when two worlds collide And it's been hours now ; feels like days. We've been hours now, in these waves. We've been phased We've been alchemized...Melted, liquified and dried and left to crystallize. And it's been hours now ; feels like days. We've been hours now in these waves We've been phased... |

Ride on the storm I made. I glide on
the ashes of the sky. My blue raincoat makes me say 'No' today. Hey, when does weather ever change Some finer day, say things go my way ; some finer day, I'll play your sunshiny girl (irony!) Ride the mercury with me see how unpredictable it feels. Red this shelter, where we fell to the ground Found out the weather never changed Some finer day...I'll play your sunshiny girl... And brighten up my world with sunflowers and book I have burned and see what you want me to see and I'll be what you want me to be... |

I have flowers in my garden
You have never seen The devil grows his blood red roses Just for me And I know that nothing lasts forever So this can't last forever Give me your deadline Tell me the time Won't you please Let me go home? Days of sunshine Is this all mine? So ungrateful now Sang my own song done nothing wrong I wouldn't know how... |

On our own trip
On our emerald ship we sail away The ocean holds a thousand tales untold With this love It's easy come and easy go Just like the way we were Before the fall I don't see the reason why Every angel must fly I'm betrayed by the tear in my eye In my eye... Hey angel Don't be afraid to earth your heart When I see love descending like a dove Confusion... the song you hear the blackbird sing You fly to the sun And you're going to burn your wings I don't see the reason why Every angel must fly I'm betrayed by the tear in my eye In my eye... Well, I know every angel must fly You're flying too high You're flying too high Just see the reason why The angel must fly No more tears in my eye We can live in the sky High, high, high, high |

Won't you let your hair down
Won't you kick your shoes off Maybe shake the blues off a while Or even crack a smile? Are you reading fortunes Or just reading Nietzsche? Find another teacher He ain't worth an apple But it takes more than the blues to bring me down Like a lonely house in a nowhere kind of town A hole in the sky where the rain comes tumbling down It'll take more than the blues to bring me down So you like to worry? You'd better kick the habit Better reach and grab it When you feel the sunshine Are we getting wiser Or just getting older When we know the shoulder We'd most like to cry on But it takes more than the blues to bring me down Like a lonely house in a nowhere kind of town A hole in the sky where the rain comes tumbling down It'll take more than the blues to bring me down But it takes more than the blues to bring me down Like a lonely house in a nowhere kind of town A hole in the sky where the rain comes tumbling down It'll take more than the blues to bring me down But it takes more than the blues to bring me down Like a lonely house in a nowhere kind of town A hole in the sky where the rain comes tumbling down It'll take more than the blues to bring me down Like a lonely house in a nowhere kind of town A hole in the sky where the rain comes tumbling down It'll take more than the blues to bring me down |
