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.

Now maybe you're right and maybe you're wrong
But I ain't gonna argue with you no more
I've done it for too long.
It was getting so good why then, where did it go?
I can't think about it no more tell me if you know.
You were loving me, I was loving you
But now there aint nothing but regretting
nothing, nothing but regretting everything we do.

I put up with your lies like you put up with mine,
But God knows we should have stopped somewhere,
we could have taken the time,
But time has turned, yes, some call it the end.
So tell me, tell me did you really love me like a friend?
You know you don't have to pretend,
It's all over now It'll never happen again, no no no,
it'll never happen again , it won't happen again
Never, never, never, it'll never happen again
No, no, no, no.....

So maybe you're right, and maybe you're wrong
But I ain't gonna argue with you no more
I've done it for too long.
It was getting so good why then, where did it go?
I can't think about it no more tell me if you know.
You were loving me, I was loving you
But now there aint nothing but regretting
nothing, nothing but regretting everything we do.

Yes I'm going to be a pop star.
Yes I'm going to be a pop star, now.
Yes I'm going to be a pop star.
Oh mama, mama see me, mama, mama see me
I'm a pop star.

Yes, I'm going on the T.V. now.
Yes, I'm going on the T.V. now.
Yes, I'm going on the T.V. now.
Oh mama, mama see me, mama, mama see me
on the T.V.

Yes, I'm going on my first gig.
Yes, I'm going on my first gig.
Yes, I'm going on my first gig.
Oh mama, mama see me, mama, mama see me
on my first gig.

Now listen to me,
La da na la, na da la...

Well, I'm going to the cold bank, cold bank.
Yes, I'm going to the cold bank.
Yes, I'm going to the cold bank.
Oh mama, mama see me, mama, mama see me
at the cold bank.

Mama see me!
La da na la, na da la...

Well, I'm coming, coming, coming home now.
Yes, I'm coming, coming, coming home now.
Yes, I'm coming, coming, coming home now.
Oh mama, mama see me, mama, mama see me
I'm home.

I used to trust nobody, trusting even less their words,
until I found somebody, there was no one I preferred,
my heart was made of stone, my eyes saw only misty grey,
Until you came into my life girl, I saw everyone that way.
Until I found the one I needed at my side,
I think I would have been a sad man all my life.

I think I see the light coming to me,
coming through me giving me a second sight.
So shine, shine, shine,
shine, shine, shine,
shine, shine, shine.

I used to walk alone, every step seemed the same.
This world was not my home, so there was nothing much to gain.
Look up and see the clouds, look down and see the cold floor.
Until you came into my life girl, I saw nothing, nothing more.
Until I found the one I needed at my side,
I think I would have been a sad man all my life.

I think I see the light coming to me,
coming through me giving me a second sight.
So shine, shine, shine,
shine, shine, shine,
shine, shine, shine.

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.

Yes, I've got a Mona Bone Jakon
But it won't be lonely for long.
Yes, I've got a Mona Bone Jakon
But it won't be lonely for long.

Yes, I've got my reasons and to me they're all true,
and I wouldn't change them, not even for you.

Yes, I've got a Mona Bone Jakon
But it won't be lonely for long.

Yeah!...

I wish I knew, I wish I knew
What makes me me, what makes you you.
It's just another point of view. Ooh..
A state of mind I'm going through. Yes..
So what I see is never true. No..

I wish I could tell, I wish I could tell
What makes a Heaven, what makes a Hell
And do I get to ring my bell? Ooh..
Or land up in some dusty cell? No..
While others reach the big hotel? Yeah..

I wish I had, I wish I had
The secret of good and the secret of bad.
Why does this question drive me mad? Ah..
'Cause I was taught when but a lad. Yes..
That bad was good and good was bad. No..

I wish I knew the mystery of
That thing called hate and that thing called love.
What makes the in between so rough? Why..
Why is it always push and shove? Why..
I guess I just don't know enough. Yes..

I sit beside the dark - beneath the mire
cold grey dusty day - the morning lake drinks up the sky
Kathmandu, I'll soon be seeing you
and your strange - bewildering time will hold me down.

Chop me some broken wood - we'll start a fire
white warm, light the dawn and help me see, old Satan's tree
Kathmandu, I'll soon be touching you
and your strange - bewildering time will hold me down

Pass me my hat and coat - lock up the cabin
slow night treat me right until I go - be nice to know
Kathmandu, I'll soon be seeing you
and your strange bewildering time will keep me home

Time rise. Time fall.
Time leaves you nothing, nothing at all
words just words don't know
words take you nowhere, nowhere to go
--to go . . .
back . . . I'm going back. . . .
ooh. . . going back.

And in the morning when you filled my eyes
I knew that day I couldn't do,
Ahh, no wrong, I couldn't do.

And so my mind begins to memorize
'Cause time will never seem the same,
Ahh, no more, never again.

I'm just a coaster but my wheels won't go,
My legs are weak my heels are low.
I'm just a coaster but my wheels won't roll.
Can't make no headway on this road.

There's an empty space inside me now,
A wasteland deep beneath the snow,
So cold, nothing will grow.

I'm just a coaster but my wheels won't go,
My legs are weak my heels are low.
I'm just a coaster but my wheels won't roll.
Can't make no headway on this road
What road?

And in the morning when you fill my eyes
I knew that day I couldn't do,
Ahh, no wrong, I couldn't do.

Back up on the mended road
I pause
taking time to check the dial

And the Lilywhite
I never knew her name
But she'll be passing my way sometime again.

I raise my hand and touch the wheel
of change
taking time to check the dial

Thank the Lilywhite
I never knew her name
But she'll be passing my way sometime again.
But she'll be passing my way sometime again.

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...

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

Ah..
Don't want to work away
Doin' just what they all say.
Work hard, boy, and
You'll find
One day you'll have a job like mine.

'Cause I know for sure
Nobody should be that poor.
You say yes and
Sink low
Because you happen to say so, say so.
You say so.

I don't want to work away
Doin' just what they all say.
Work hard, boy, and
You'll find
One day you'll have a job like mine, job like mine.
A job like mine.

Be wise. Look ahead.
Use your eyes, he said.
Be straight. Think right,
But I might die tonight.
Ah..
Ah..

(Refrain:)
Longer boats are comin' to win us.
They're comin' to win us.
They're comin' to win us.
Longer boats are comin' to win us.
Hold on to the shore.
They'll be takin' the key from the door.

(Refrain)

I don't want no God on my lawn;
Just a flower I can help along,
'Cause the soul of nobody knows
How a flower grows.
Oh..
How a flower grows.

(Refrain)

Mary dropped her pants by the sand
And let a parson come and take her hand,
But the soul of nobody knows
Where the parson goes.
Oh..
Where does the parson go?
Oh..

(Refrain)

I built my house
From barley rice.
Green pepper walls
And water ice.
Tables of paper wood,
Windows of light
And everything emptyin'
Into white.

A simple garden,
With acres of sky.
A brown-haired dogmouse
If one dropped by.
Yellow Delanie
Would sleep well at night
With everything emptying
Into white.

Ooh..

A sad blue-eyed drummer
Rehearses outside;
A black spider dancin'
On top of his eye.
Red legged chicken
Stands ready to strike
And everything emptying
Into white.

I built my house
From barley rice.
Green pepper walls
And water ice
And everything emptyin'
Into white.

Well, I left my happy home
to see what I could find out.
I left my folk and friends
with the aim to clear my mind out.

Well I hit the rowdy road
and many kinds I met there,
many stories told me
of the way to get there, ooh.

So on and on I go,
the seconds tick the time out,
there's so much left to know,
and I'm on the road to findout, ooh.

Well in the end I'll know,
but on the way I wonder
through descending snow,
and through the frost and thunder,

I listen to the wind come howl,
telling me I have to hurry.
I listen to the robin's song
saying not to worry, ooh.

So on and on I go,
the seconds tick the time out,
there's so much left to know,
and I'm on the road to findout, ooh.

Then I found myself alone,
hoping someone would miss me.
Thinking about my home,
and the last woman to kiss me, kiss me.

But some times you have to moan
when nothing seems to suit yer,
but nevertheless you know
you've locked the door towards the future, ooh.

So on and on you go,
the seconds tick the time out.
There's so much left to know,
and I'm on the road to findout, ooh.

Then I found my head one day
when I wasn't even trying,
and here I have to say,
'cause there is no use in lying, lying.

Yes the answer lies within,
so why not take a look now,
kick out the devil's sin,
pick up, pick up a good book now, ooh.

Yes the answer lies within,
so why not take a look now
kick out the devil's sin,
and pick up, pick up a good book now, ooh

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

Bring tea for the Tillerman,
Steak for the son,
Wine for the woman who made the rain come.

Seagulls, sing your hearts away
'Cause while the sinners sin,
The children play.

Oh, Lord, how they play and play
For that happy day.
For that happy day.

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

Who'll be my love
You'll be my love
You'll be my sky above
Who'll be my light
You'll be my light
You'll be my day and night
You'll be mine tonight

Ruby my love
You'll be my love
You'll be my sky above
Ruby my light
You'll be my light
You'll be my day and night
You'll be mine tonight

Ooh..
'Cause if I laugh
Just a little bit,
Maybe I can forget the chance
That I didn't have
To know you
And live
In peace.
In peace.

Ooh..
Oh, yeah, 'cause if I laugh
Just a little bit,
Maybe I can forget the plans
That I didn't use
To get you
At home
With me
Alone.

Ooh..
Oh, yeah..
Mmm..

'Cause if I laugh,
Ooh, just a little bit,
Maybe I can recall the way
That I used to be
Before you
And sleep
At night
And dream.

Oh, yeah, 'cause if I laugh,
Baby, if I laugh
Just a little bit.

Oh, yeah..

Don't you feel a change a coming
from another side of time
breaking down the walls of silence
lifting shadows from your mind
Placing back the missing mirrors
that before you couldn't find
filling mysteries of emptiness
that yesterday left behind

And we all know it's better
Yesterday has past
now let's all start the living
for the one that's going to last
Yes we all know it's better
Yesterday has past
now let's all start the living
for the one that's going to last

Don't you feel the day is coming
that will stay and remain
when your children see the answers
that you saw the same
when the clouds have all gone
there will be no more rain
and the beauty of all things
is uncovered again

Don't you feel the day is coming
and it won't be too soon
when the people of the world
can all live in one room
when we shake off the ancient
shake off the ancient chains of our tomb
we will all be born again
of the eternal womb

How can I tell you that I love you... I love you
But I can't think of right words to say
and I long to tell you that I'm always thinking of you
I'm always thinking of you
but my words just blow away
just blow away

always ends up to one thing honey
and I can't think of right words to say

Wherever I am, girl, I'm always walking with you
I'm always walking with you
but I look and you're not there
whoever I'm with, I'm always, always talking to you
I'm always talking to you
and I'm sad that you can't hear
sad that you can't hear

it always ends up to one thing honey
when I look and you're not there

I need to know you
Need to feel my arms around you
Feel my arms surround you
like the sea around the shore
each night and day I pray
and hope that I might find you
and hope that I might find you
because hearts can do no more

it always ends up to one thing honey
still I kneal upon your floor

how can I tell you that I love you... I love you
but I can't think of what's right to say
I long to tell you that I'm always thinking of you
I'm always thinking of you

it always ends up to one thing honey
and I can't think of right words to say

If I make a mark in time
I can't say the mark is mine
I'm only the underline of the word
Yes, I'm like him, just like you
I can't tell you what to do
Like everybody else I'm searching through
what I've heard

Whoa - where do you go when you don't
want no one to know
Who told tomorrow - Tuesday's dead

Oh preacher won't you paint my dream
won't you show me where you've been,
show me what I haven't seen
to ease my mind
'Cause I will learn to understand
If I have a helping hand
I wouldn't make another demand, all my life

Whoa - where do you go when you don't
want no one to know
Who told tomorrow - Tuesday's dead

What's my sex, what's my name,
all in all it's all the same
everybody plays a different game - that is all
Now man my live, man may die
searching for the question why,
but if he tries to rule the sky, he must fall

Whoa - where do you go when you don't
want no one to know
who told tomorrow - Tuesday's dead

Now every second on the nose
The humdrum of the city grows
reaching out beyond the throes
of our time
We must try to shake it down
Do our best to break the ground
try to turn the world around - one more time
Yes - we must try to shake it down
do our best to break the ground
try to turn the world around
one more time

Whoa - where do you go when you don't
want no one to know
Who told tomorrow - Tuesday's dead.

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

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

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.
