There's a reason for the sunshiny sky
There's a reason why I'm feeling so high Must be the season when those love lights shine all around us So let that feeling grab you deep inside And send you reeling where your love can't hide And then go stealing through the moonlit night with your lover Just let your love flow like a mountain stream And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams And let your love show and you'll know what I mean it's the season Let your love fly like a bird on the wind And let your love find you to all living things And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean that's the reason There's a reason for the warm sweet nights And there's a reason for the candle lights Must be the season when those love lights shine all around us So let that wonder take you into space And lay you under its loving embrace Just feel the thunder as it warms your face you can't hold back Just let your love flow like a mountain stream And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams And let your love show and you'll know what I mean it's the season Let your love fly like a bird on the wind And let your love find you to all living things And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean that's the reason Just let your love flow like a mountain stream And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams And let your love show and you'll know what I mean it's the season Let your love fly like a bird on the wind And let your love find you to all living things And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean that's the reason |

I hear your voice in every corridor
I see your face in every picture frame I feel your eyes in every starry sky Lover, am I coming home again? Now am I humble, who once was proud Now am I silent, who once was loud Now am I waiting for the sound of your saying Lover, am I coming home again? When you're gone the sun don't shine Light a light, light a light for me Bring me back home again And how we loved 'til the years were days How we laughed all our tears away And now the time begins to fade Lover, am I coming home again? There's a wisdom in the teachings of the old familiar songs And a sorrow in repeating all the old familiar wrongs And a lesson to be learned though I've known all day long Lover, am I coming home again? Light a light, light a light for me Light a light, light a light for me Light a light, light a light for me Bring me back home again Bring me back home again |

This is the song at the end of the movie
When the house lights go on The people go home The plot's been resolved It's all over This is the day after the last sad goodbye That took so long My true love is gone He's left me alone We're all over I am the girl with her face in her hands Crying love forsaken I'm left badly shaken This is the letter he left on the stairwell That seemed so unreal With words that could kill I'll send you the bill when it's over This is the song at the end of the movie When the house lights go on The people go home The plot's been resolved It's all over All over |

Some of them were dreamers
And some of them were fools Who were making plans and thinking of the future With the energy of the innocent They were gathering the tools They would need to make their journey back to nature While the sand slipped through the opening And their hands reached for the golden ring With their hearts they turned to each other's heart for refuge In the troubled years that came before the deluge Some of them knew pleasure And some of them knew pain And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered And on the brave and crazy wings of youth They went flying around in the rain And their feathers, once so fine, grew torn and tattered And in the end they traded their tired wings For the resignation that living brings And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow For the glitter and the rouge And in the moment they were swept before the deluge Now let the music keep our spirits high And let the buildings keep our children dry Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by By and by... When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky Some of them were angry At the way the earth was abused By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power And they struggled to protect her from them Only to be confused By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour And when the sand was gone and the time arrived In the naked dawn only a few survived And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge Now let the music keep our spirits high And let the buildings keep our children dry Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by By and by... When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky |

Early early in the game
I taught myself to sing and play And use a little trickery On kids who never favored me Those were years of crinoline slips And cotton skirts and swinging hips And dangerously painted lips And stars of stage and screen Pedal pushers, ankle socks Padded bras and campus jocks Who hid their vernal equinox In pairs of faded jeans And slept at home resentfully Coveting their dreams And often have I wondered How the years and I survived I had a mother who sang to me An honest lullaby Yellow, brown, and black and white Our Father bless us all tonight I bowed my head at the football games And closed the prayer in Jesus' name Lusting after football heroes tough Pachuco, little Neroes Forfeiting my A's for zeroes Futures unforeseen Spending all my energy In keeping my virginity And living in a fantasy In love with Jimmy Dean If you will be my king, Jimmy, Jimmy, I will be your queen And often have I wondered How the years and I survived I had a mother who sang to me An honest lullaby I travelled all around the world And knew more than the other girls Of foreign languages and schools Paris, Rome and Istanbul But those things never worked for me The town was much too small you see And people have a way of being Even smaller yet But all the same though life is hard And no one promised me a garden Of roses, so I did okay I took what I could get And did the things that I might do For those less fortunate And often have I wondered How the years and I survived I had a mother who sang to me An honest lullaby Now look at you, you must be growing A quarter of an inch a day You've already lived near half the years You'll be when you go away With your teddy bears and alligators Enterprise communicators All the tiny aviators head into the sky And while the others play with you I hope to find a way with you And sometimes spend a day with you I'll catch you as you fly Or if I'm worth a mother's salt I'll wave as you go by And if you should ever wonder How the years and you'll survive Honey, you've got a mother who sings to you Dances on the strings for you Opens her heart and brings to you An honest lullaby |

In the time spent in the foggy dew
With the raven and the dove Barefoot she walked the winter streets In search of her own true love For she was Mary Hamilton And lover of John Riley And the maid of constant sorrow And the mother of the doomed Geordie One day by the banks of the river Midst tears and gossamer Sweet Michael rowed his boat ashore And came to rescue her And fill thee up my loving cup Fast and to the brim How many fair and tender maids Could love as she could then? For was was likened to Pretty Boy Floyd And also John Riley And a rake and rambling railroad boy And the Silkie of the Sule Skerry And there in the arms of Michael In their stolen hour Loud rang the bells of Rhymney From the ancient church bell tower And there in the night with Michael While he lay fast asleep She put her head to the window pane And in the fullness of love did weep And fill thee up my loving cup Fast and to the brim How many fair and tender maids Will love as she did then? You've heard of the House of the Rising Sun And what careless love can do You've heard of the wildwood flower That fades in the morning dew And of the ship that circles three times round And sinks beneath the sea You've heard of Barbary Allen And now you've heard of me So fill thee up my loving cup Fast and to the brim How many fair and tender maids Will ever love again |

Here by my window in Germany
A morning bird flies close to me On his wing I see a yellow star The lights are on in the factory The frost is hung on the linden tree And I remember where we are And I remember the holocaust I remember all we lost The families torn and the borders crossed And I sing of it now for Sasha A young German officer lies in his bed Bandages from toe to head A prisoner of the camps draws nigh If you are Abel and I am Cain Forgive me from my bed of pain I know not why we die It was I who ordered the building burned The job was over and as I turned A father and his son Caught in the flames high above the ground From cradled arms the boy looked down One leap and their lives were done And I remember the holocaust I remember all we lost The children gone and the borders crossed And I sing of it now for Sasha You in frozen streets of Heidelberg Your youth unbearded takes form in words And the ghosts of the past are kind For this was your university The years were long but the spirits free And your river runs to the Rhine The smoke filled taverns that you once roamed With the discontented who'd stayed at home You must have whiskey or you'll die The beer garden under the old chateau Our faces now in the candle glow See the memories how they shine But you remember the holocaust You remember all we lost The families torn and the borders crossed And we'll sing of it now for Sasha |

For all we know we may never meet again
Before you go make this moment sweet again We wont say good night until the last minute Ill hold out my hand and my heart will be in it For all we know this may only be a dream We come and go like a ripple on a stream So love me tonight; tomorrow was made for some Tomorrow may never come for all we know So love me tonight; tomorrow was made for some Tomorrow may never come for all we know |

Free at last
Free at last Free from the world And all its sins Free Free at last Free at last I've been to the top Of the mountain Hatred had me bound Had me tied down Had me turned around, couldn't find my way Then you walked with me and you set my spirit free Took me and my family down that long highway Free at last Free at last Free from the world And all its sins Free at last Free at last I've been to the top Of the mountain I will never forget When the voices called I will never forget how the night did fall I will never forget when you rose to the call You lived and loved and sang and preached and guide for us all Free at last Free at last Free from the world And all its sins Free at last Free at last I've been to the top Of the mountain Free at last Free at last Free from the world And all its sins Free at last Free at last I've been to the top Of the mountain Free at last Free at last Free from the world And all its sins Free at last Free at last I've been to the top Of the mountain |
