Oh Mother dear
What a night this has been I awoke in the light of a vision in white The prettiest girl that I have ever seen Lately my love, said the lady in white I have watched from afar, but love draws me near Now take my hand, hold tight, Mother dear Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? Was it just another dream..... in the night? Mother dear, on that same silver night Saw a figure in black by the lady in white He said his name was death, was he right? Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? Was it just another dream..... in the night? Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? Was it just another dream..... in the night? Mother dear, what a night this has been It's so cold by your side, no don't cry, can't you see? Won't you listen to me please, Mother dear Was it just another dream, Mother dear? |

In corridors of air the clouds were waiting there
They knew that never again the skies would be so blue They took away the sun and with it took the fun It's true, and now there is really nothing I can do So I look outside my window at the sheets of pouring rain And I wonder if the sun will come again But the sun will never shine the way it used to do The clouds won't let it through Oh the sun will never shine its smile for me and you The clouds won't let it through It wasn't long ago the people that I knew were glad And nothing they ever thought about was sad But since the sun has gone their laughing times are none That's bad, to make them forget the happy times they've had So they look outside their window at the sheets of pouring rain And they wonder if the sun will come again But the sun will never shine the way it used to do The clouds won't let it through Oh the sun will never shine its smile for me and you The clouds won't let it through (Barclay James Harvest, ?Ardmore & Beechwood/EMI) |

When the world was woken
Save all unknowing eyes And thoughts that once were spoken Left only to despise And when the dawn is breaking Look upward to the sky If life is so hard to live Why not die? When the world has woken And shadows leave the air Then each spell will be broken For everyone who cares The day will then be endless The night will soon pass by If life is so hard to live Why not die? When the world has woken For all who see the sun And gentle words are spoken The dawning has begun Then man can live together With one triumphant cry If life is so hard to live Why not die? |

She walks on through the night
Her circumstances slight Are only helping her to fail And though she feels she's right She tries with all her might And makes the deepest peril pale Oh, but she is unreal Oh, but she doesn't feel Oh, but she is unreal She chooses who to love And then unlike a dove She takes the laughter from their smile She wears a velvet glove Her friends may find it rough It is a gauntlet all the while Oh, but she is unreal Oh, but she doesn't feel Oh, but she is unreal |

Don't ask me how I know
But this dark sky will soon be blue Don't ask, no don't ask Just watch as the grey mists of winter fall Like so many drops of dew Feel the ice melt to warm tears in my eyes Uner the light of a tin sun Do not ask me how I know The effect of light on unseeing eyes How should I know? How could I know? Dark now my sky The sea of peace has left my shore No birds sing The silent spring will overflow Oh you'll never know I love you so You'll always be A part of me Dark now my eyes The sea of peace has met the sky No birds sing And like the Spring life whispers by Oh you'll never know I love you so You'll always be A part of me Dark now my sky The winds of time have swept my shore No birds fly The trees that fall will rise no more Oh you'll never know I love you so You'll always be A part of me |

She said, "Why don't you
Come and stay with me Far away from people we know? We could live our lives together Happiness wherever we go" And I will always love her And I will always care And I will always love her Wasn't long before she grew tired of me And the life she thought would redeem All the love she'd thrown away as a child All the things she thought she had seen And I will always love her And I will always care And I will always love her - instrumental break - And I will always love her And I will always care And I will always love her |

Looking like something from out of space we came
Nothing much to look at, but did he complain? He didn't mind us being here to live in peace and grace What we're doing to him now could put us back in space We're thinking like some creatures off the ocean floor Losing sight of what we've really come here for Can I be heard above the sounds of prejudice and hate? Take time to look around before it gets too late It's a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But I'm sorry to be leaving it It's a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But I guess I still, I still believe in it It's a happy old world We're tearing up the rivers and a thousand streams And highways, they're in places where they've never been We're building towers in the sky and racing for the sun Oh Lord, any eye can see what harm we've done I need some help to get myself out of this maze We can both just say goodbye and go our separate ways My mind's not on this song I sing, my heart's not in the lines Guess I'll go and kill myself, so would you kindly close the blinds Oh a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But I'm sorry to be leaving it It's a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But I guess, guess I still believe in it It's a happy old world |

Two of them watched in the dawn's early light
And two of them died in the morning Search not your soul if you want to be right But two of them died in the morning It's not for you we cry No, not for those who die It is only for their sons Forget the lives of others who are gone Two and by two in the dawn's early light All went to die in the morning Search not your souls for the truth and the right For all went to die in the morning light It's not for you we cry No, not for those who die It is only for their sons Forget the lives of others who are gone It's not for you we cry No, not for those who die It is only for their sons Forget the lives of others who are gone Forget the lives of others who are gone Forget the lives of others Forget your wives and mothers Forget the lives of others who are gone |

She comes up with the morning sun
And tells me life has just begun Oh what it is to be young And in the early evening light She brings me flowers from the sun Oh what it is to be young And if you see her you will know She's like a shadow Falling softly on the snow And in the early evening light She brings me flowers for the night Oh what it is to be young |

Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds and sky
Hush now baby, don't you cry There's a mocking bird Singing songs in the trees There's a mocking bird Singing songs Just for you and me Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds and sky Time will see your tears run dry There's a mocking bird Singing songs in the trees There's a mocking bird Singing songs Just for you and me Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds and sun Bless the tears of love now gone There's a mocking bird Singing songs in the trees There's a mocking bird Singing songs Singing just for me... |

Vanessa Simmons, funny kind of name
Young and yet wise, only a child Wake up in the morning, frown across your face I know your name, but not your place Wish I could show you how to live your life But I'm not sure which one of us is right God only knows the tears I've cried Vanessa Simmons, funny kind of name Have you got life wrong, is it just a game? Wake up in the morning, find a friend at night Friends are hard to find, especially at night Wish I could show you how to live your life But I'm not sure which one of us is right God only knows, and He's the one that shows, the tears I've cried And if I asked you for the sun, would you not say "Light's not the only way to be"? And if I asked you for your love, would you not say "Love is not what you want from me"? And would I not be right To sit alone and wonder every night? Vanessa Simmons, funny kind of name Young and yet wise, only a child Wish I could show you how to live your life But I'm not sure which one of us is right God only knows, and He's the one that shows, the tears I've cried |

If I had my way I would not be here
Not for one day, my leaving is clear I've had my share of heartache and pain For happiness I'm searching in vain I've got to get rid of my ball and chain For all of my life, the times they've been bad And hard luck and strife, they're all I've ever had I've had my share of heartache and pain For happiness I'm searching in vain I've got to get rid of my ball and chain I've just got to be free God in heaven, help me If I had my way I would not, would not be here No, not for one day, my leaving, my leaving is clear I've had my share of heartache and pain For happiness I'm searching in vain I've got to get rid of my ball and chain Help me! I've had my share of heartache and pain For happiness I'm searching in vain I've got to get rid of my ball and CHAIN! |

The lady loves, while she may
The lady loves, while she may In the pale moonlight, or a sunny day The lady loves, mmm she loves The lady dreams, while she may The lady dreams, while she may In the pale moonlight, or a sunny day The lady dreams, oh she dreams She'll take your children by the hand She'll lead them to the promised land Holding hands and singing songs In the smile on her face you just know she can't be wrong The lady sleeps, while she may The lady sleeps, while she may In the pale moonlight, or a sunny day The lady sleeps, oh she sleeps She'll take your children by the hand And lead them to the promised land Holding hands and singing songs In the smile on her face you just know she can't be wrong She'll take your children by the hand And lead them to the promised land Holding hands and singing songs In the smile on her face you just know she can't be wrong She just can't be wrong |
