In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty, I want to be In the warm hold of your loving mind To feel you all around me And to take your hand along the sand Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind When sundown pales the sky I want to hide a while behind your smile And everywhere I'd look your eyes I'd find For me to love you now Would be the sweetest thing 'twould make me sing Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind Di di di di, di di di di Di di di di, di di di di Di di di When rain has hung the leaves with tears I want you near to kill my fears To help me to leave all my blues behind For standin' in your heart Is where I want to be and long to be Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind |

From the album fairytale
Walk along and talk along and live your lives quite freely But leave our children with their toys of peppermint and candy. For seagull I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom in a lie. Your thoughts they are of harlequin, your speeches of quicksilver, I read your faces like a poem, kaleidoscope of hate words. For seagull I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom in a lie. On the quilted battlefields of soldiers dazzling made of toy tin The big bomb like a child's hand could sweep them dead just so to win. For seagull I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom in a lie. As you fill your glasses with the wine of murdered negroes Thinking not of beauty that spreads like morning sun-glow. Seagull I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom in a lie. I pray your dreams of vivid screams of children dying slowly And as you polish up your guns your real self be reflecting. For seagull I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom in a lie. Vietnam, your latest game, you're playing with your blackest Queen Damn your souls and curse your grins, I stand here with a fading dream. For seagull I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom in a lie. |

Josie,I wont fail ya,
I wont fail you have no fear, Josie,I wont fail ya, Give me one more chance to be as near. The meadows they are bursting the yellow corn is in your hands, and with the night comes sorrow as the tide of dawn slips on the land. The long breezes are blowing all down the sky into my face, Ive a worried kind of feelin that my time has come and gone to waste. I love you darling Josie, the trees of pine they grow so tall, how can you come to love me when you didnt love me at all. Josie,I wont fail ya, I wont fail you have no fear, Josie I wont fail ya Give me one more chance to be as near. My Josie looks a child now as she lies beyond my breast, in the night I think about her in the day I get no rest. I cut me a young pine cone And gave it to the river deep, It sailed way by your window where you lay so long in sleep. God bless you darling Josie with your sparkling eyes so bright and clear, Josie,I wont fail you have no fear, Josie,I wont fail ya Give me one more chance to be as near. |

From the album fairytale
As a pilgrim I did go To a land that I did know, To the shores of Trist la Cal, To see if I still felt The same. And the sun blazed madly insane, But the seagulls they have gone, The seagulls they have gone. I searched the sand for sound, My eyes forced to the ground. The wind it laughed wild and shrill, My heart it tried to spill Its crazy tears. There is nothing left for me now For the seagulls, they have gone, The seagulls, they have gone. I stand both young and old But the winds of time blow cold. This much you must believe: It pains to see you grieve. I pity you, But there is nothing that I can do For the seagulls, they have gone, The seagulls, they have gone. As a pilgrim I did go To a land that I did know, To the shores of Trist la Cal, To see if I still felt The same. And the sun blazed madly insane, But the seagulls, they have gone, The seagulls, they have gone. |

Oh, I was born with the name Geraldine
With hair coal black as a raven. I travelled my life without a care, Ah, but all my love I was savin'. Oh, the winds blew high and the trees did sway, Not much from life was I askin'. Till I met someone to give all my love, All my love, so long an' lasting. Oh, good were the parts we played in our game And a long ways off was tomorrow. But my love was a rambler and restless as the sea, And in the tide came sorrow. Oh, a child of the night is goin' to be born, I can't explain my confusion. Is my love thinkin' to marry me at all Or of the freedom he thinks he'll be losin'? I sit with my friends in the gay crowded room, My friends they're smokin' and a-talkin'. But it all seems so empty, my love is not there, So I'll go into the streets a-walkin'. My baby is a-growin' as a-growin' it must, If I were to lose it, it would grieve me. My love is so helpless and I'm wonderin' what to do. Oh, how I yearn to help him. Oh, we could go to the land of your choice Where the false shame won't come knockin' at our door. I've a feeling in my heart and it's crushing all my hopes, I think I'm gonna be hurt some more, Oh, I was born with the name Geraldine, With hair coal black as a raven. I travelled my life without a care, Ah, but all my love I was savin'. |

He's five foot-two, and he's six feet-four,
He fights with missiles and with spears. He's all of thirty-one, and he's only seventeen, Been a soldier for a thousand years. He'a a Catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jain, A Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew. And he knows he shouldn't kill, And he knows he always will, Kill you for me my friend and me for you. And he's fighting for Canada, He's fighting for France, He's fighting for the USA, And he's fighting for the Russians, And he's fighting for Japan, And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way. And he's fighting for Democracy, He's fighting for the Reds, He says it's for the peace of all. He's the one who must decide, Who's to live and who's to die, And he never sees the writing on the wall. But without him, How would Hitler have condemned them at Dachau? Without him Caesar would have stood alone, He's the one who gives his body As a weapon of the war, And without him all this killing can't go on. He's the Universal Soldier and he really is to blame, His orders come from far away no more, They come from here and there and you and me, And brothers can't you see, This is not the way we put the end to war. Chords:- F,G7,C,Am Dm,Em |

Your smile beams like sunlight on a gull's wing
And the leaves dance and play after you Take my hand and hold it as you would a flower Take care with my heart, oh darling, she's made of glass Your eyes feel like silence resting on me And the birds cease to sing when you rise Ride easy your fairy stallion you have mounted Take care how you ride, my precious, you might fall down In the pastel skies a sunset I have wandered With my eyes and ears and heart stRained to the full I know I tasted the essence in the few days Take care who you love, my precious, he might not know |

When you're feeling kind of lonesome in your mind
With a heartache following you so close behind Call out to me as I ramble by I'll sing a song for you Thats's what I'm here to do To sing for you When the night has left you cold and feeling sad I will show you that it cannot be so bad Forget the one who went and made you cry I'll sing a song for you Thats's what I'm here to do To sing for you When you feel you just can't make it anymore With your head bowed down you're staring at the floor Search out to me with your weary eyes I'll sing a song for you Thats's what I'm here to do To sing for you Now every man he has his work you know And to find out mine you ain't got far to go Call out to me with your weary eyes I'll sing a song for you Thats's what I'm here to do To sing for you |
