often I sing when I’m all alone,
and no one can see me but me. i think and wonder what i am and how i came to be. i can swim the ocean, and it’s deep and wide, and in the house above me abide. maybe one day i’ll fly like an eagle, fly like a bird and go and go. soar like an eagle, walk like a lion, although it won’t be i know. but i can swim the ocean, and it’s deep and wide, and in the house above me abide. i guess the time has come for me to go. and look around for something, oh, just moving in my house you know. moving slowly is not really bad, moving slowly you see the wonders of the deep, just waiting there for me. and i can swim the ocean, and it’s deep and wide, and in the house above me abide. and in the house above me abide… |

And I thought that life
Would be so cold I thought I'd need someone to hold Like in the stories I was told And then we met I can't forget How we laughed And then, suddenly the end I hoped, hoped for your love For your love, for your love How I hoped for your love For your love, for your love |

Within some walls of stone
Another world is waiting for it's own Another time, another world, another world The magic that is shown Is or for another world Dimensions still unknown Beyond the pale, horizoned veil A world unknown A technologic sphere With tones and music's chords to hear For conversations far away With ships that fly and lights that play The years that come and go Are bringing us another world to know Maybe a laugh, perhaps a frown A way to go, a common ground, another world Another time has come Another world is here to meet the sun A digit here, a circle there, a life to share Another time is here Another dawn that whispers in my ears A different sound, a point of view, a shade of blue The strangest thing to see Are things with you and me Lost somewhere in the night A song of love, the guiding light A time has come and gone Some memories are captured in a song Some stories told, an artist's hand Something to find among the sand Something to hold, remembering Another world, another world, another world |

Avec le temps...
Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va On oublie le visage et l'on oublie la voix Le cœur, quand ça bat plus, c'est pas la peine d'aller Chercher plus loin, faut laisser faire et c'est très bien Avec le temps... Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va L'autre qu'on adorait, qu'on cherchait sous la pluie L'autre qu'on devinait au détour d'un regard Entre les mots, entre les lignes et sous le fard D'un serment maquillé qui s'en va faire sa nuit Avec le temps tout s'évanouit Avec le temps... Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va Même les plus chouettes souv'nirs ça t'as une de ces gueules A la gal'rie j'farfouille dans les rayons d'la mort Le samedi soir quand la tendresse s'en va toute seule Avec le temps... Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va L'autre à qui l'on croyait pour un rhume, pour un rien L'autre à qui l'on donnait du vent et des bijoux Pour qui l'on eût vendu son âme pour quelques sous Devant quoi l'on s'traînait comme traînent les chiens Avec le temps, va, tout va bien Avec le temps... Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va On oublie les passions et l'on oublie les voix Qui vous disaient tout bas les mots des pauvres gens Ne rentre pas trop tard, surtout ne prends pas froid Avec le temps... Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va Et l'on se sent blanchi comme un cheval fourbu Et l'on se sent glacé dans un lit de hasard Et l'on se sent tout seul peut-être mais peinard Et l'on se sent floué par les années perdues Alors vraiment... avec le temps... on n'aime plus by Léo Ferré |

All along the way there were things to do
Always some other someone I could be Other things to know, other ways to go To fly a spirit for the play to show It wasn't always easy learning to be me Sometimes my hitting hard would disagree Times I walked away other times I stay To see the glamour of my life the play Being me I dared to be myself alone Sometimes I love the things they said Some things were cold as stone it was lonely Sometimes, sometimes it was mood-felt lights were brilliant Sometimes, sometimes there was you being me, I laugh So many things have changed and yet somehow There were always be a stage, a song for me Hold the curtain open, It's time to take a bow Being me I laugh seeing now and then So many things have changed and get some out There will always be a stage, a song for me Hold the curtain open, It's time to take a bow< |

Bird alone, flying high
Flying through a clouded sky Sending mournful soulful sounds Soaring over troubled grounds Bird alone with no mate Turning corners tempting fate Flying circles in the air Are you on your way somewhere? Gliding, soaring on the wind You're a sight of glory Flying way up there so high Wonder what's your story Bird alone, flying low Over where the grasses grow Swingin' low, then out of sight You'll be singing in the night Gliding, soaring on the wind You're a sight of glory Flying way up there so high Wonder what's your story Bird alone, flying low Over where the grasses grow Swingin' low, then out of sight You'll be singing in the night |

Down here below...
the winds of change are blowing through the weary night. i prayed my soul will find me shining in the morning light, down here below. down here below, it's not so easy just to be. sometimes i'm really all at sea. you made me when the world was new and skies were blue... and i'm here because there's you. they say i'll never see your face and we're out there from your grace, the one you fashioned with your hand, and scattered all across the land, but i am happy just to know that you must go where i must go for there are winds and scars to show livin' here down here below... down here below, the setting sun is shining on the melancholy mood. i hear the distant thunder and the crying of the blue down where below I'm yours alone the only one to call my own the only one i've ever known sometimes i see you standing there sometimes i'm freer. and you are here, down here with me, you made me just the way a hear, or less feeling, eyes to see a strange embrace, a simple hand, a spirit free that says: "i can", and i'm happy just to know that you will go where i must go, for you send me this i know living here, down here below, living here, down here below, living here, down here below. |

LOST IN THE STARS
BEFORE LORD GOD MADE THE SEA AND THE LAND, HE HELD ALL THE STARS IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND, AND THEY RAN THROUGH HIS FINGERS LIKE GRAINS OF SAND, AND ONE LITTLE STAR FELL ALONE, THEN THE LORD GOD HUNTED THROUGH THE WIDE NIGHT AIR, FOR THE LITTLE DARK STAR ON THE WIND DOWN THERE, AND HE STATED AND PROMISED HE’D TAKE SPECIAL CARE SO IT WOULDN’T GET LOST NO MORE NOW A MAN DON’T MIND IF THE STARS GROW DIM, AND THE CLOUDS BLOW OVER AND DARKEN HIM, AS LONG AS THE LORD GOD’S WATCHING OVER THEM, KEEPING TRACK HOW IT ALL GOES ON, BUT I’VE BEEN WALKING THROUGH THE NIGHT AND THE DAY, TILL MY EYES GET WEARY AND MY HEAD TURNS GRAY, AND SOMETIMES IT SEEMS MAYBE GOD’S GONE AWAY, FORGETTING HIS PROMISE THAT WE HEARD HIM SAY, AND WE’RE LOST OUT HERE IN THE STARS, LITTLE STARS, BIG STARS, BLOWING THROUGH THE NIGHT, AND WE’RE LOST OUT HERE IN THE STARS, LITTLE STARS, BIG STARS, BLOWING THROUGH THE NIGHT, AND WE’RE LOST OUT HERE IN THE STARS... |

Love has gone away heaving a sign with no regrets
for yesterday heaving a side love said goodbye so with sad and love, love walked away, a spirit child love had to go, loves has to play, love went away, away from a place of fools in pain with teardrops and heartaches all again only a game of hatred and love all thrown in together of kiss or shove reaching for my hand love walked away, sighing to leave, but ready to stay love walked away love walked away loved walked away and I walked away with love. It change for my heart, love walked away sad in to leave, ready to stay love walked away love walked away love walked away, and i walked away with love. |

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you Though I know that evening's empire Has returned into sand Vanished from my hand Left me blindly here to stand But still not sleeping My weariness amazes me I'm branded on my feet And I have no one to meet And the ancient empty street's Too dead for dreaming Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging Madly across the sun It's not aimed at anyone It's just escaping on the run And but for the sky there are no fences facing And if you hear vague traces Of skipping reels of rhyme To your tambourine in time It's just a ragged clown behind I wouldn't pay it any mind It's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you Take me on a trip upon your Magic swirling ship My senses have been stripped My hands can't feel to grip My toes too numb to step Wait only for my boot heels to be wandering I'm ready to go anywhere I'm ready for to fade Into my own parade Cast your dancing spell my way I promise to go under it Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you Then take me disappearing Through the smoke rings of my mind Down the foggy ruins of time Far past the frozen leaves The haunted, frightened trees Out to the windy beach Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky With one hand waving free Silhouetted by the sea Circled by the circus sands With all memory and fate Driven deep beneath the waves Let me forget about today until tomorrow Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you |
