Lyrical Response

[SinceThe70s]

It was a cold and wet December day
When we touched the ground at JFK
Snow was melting on the ground
On BLS I heard the sound
Of an angel

[Gugny]

A long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leavin'
Now the days go by so fast

 

And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think that I could be forgiven I wish you would

 

The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl

 

And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think you might come to California I think you should

[SinceThe70s]

And I wish I been out in California
When the lights on all the Christmas trees went out
But I been burnin' my bell, book and candle
And the restoration plays have all gone 'round

 

It sure been a cold, cold winter, Lord
My feet been draggin' 'cross the ground
And the fields has all been brown and fallow
And the springtime take a long way around

[WhoTom]

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

[SinceThe70s]

I've gotta get home
There's a garden to tend
All the fruit's on the ground
The birds have all moved back into my attic,
Whistled in static
The young learn to fly
I will patch up the holes once again

[Bill from NYC]

Hummingbird don't fly away fly away.

Hummingbird don't fly away fly away.

The sweetness of your nectar,

Has drawn me like a fly.

I just love you love you love you,

I don't even know the reason why.

 

[SinceThe70s]

Now don't look back
My wounded bird
There's nothing for you here
Need no wing just set your mind to fly

[WhoTom]

We've all been waiting
We've been wondering, will we ever know the truth
What it's like washing windows
When you know that there are pigeons on the roof

 

[Gray Beard]

I wonder, wonder who, who-oo-ooh, who
Who wrote the book of love
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Oh, who wrote the Book Of Love
I've got to know the answer
Was it someone from above
I wonder, wonder who, mmbadoo-ooh, who
Who wrote the Book Of Love

[PastaJoe]

When no one else can understand me
When everything I do is wrong
You give me love and consolation
You give me hope to carry on
And you try to show your love for me
In everything you do
That's the wonder, the wonder of you.

[Gray Beard]

If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If being right means being without you
I'd rather live a wrong doing life
Your mama and daddy say it's a shame
It's a downright disgrace
Long as I got you by my side
I don't care what your people say

[SinceThe70s]

On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place,
If the summer change to winter, yours is no disgrace

[Bill from NYC]

Went to see the captain,

Strangest I could find.

Laid my proposition down,

Laid it on the line.

I won't slave for beggars pay, likewise gold and jewels,

But I would slave to learn the way,

To sink your ship of fools.

[WhoTom]

We used to play for silver
Now we play for life

 

[SinceThe70s]

Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar
Play for free, I play for me and play a whole lot more, more!

[Gugny]

I was made with a heart of stone
To be broken
With one hard blow
I've seen the ocean
Break on the shore
Come together with no harm done...

It ain't easy living...

 

I want to be
As deep
As the ocean
Mother ocean…

I want to be
As deep
As the ocean
Mother ocean

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

There's been so many girls that I've known
I've made so many cry, and still I wonder why
Here comes a little girl, I see her walking down the street
She's all by herself, I try and knock her off her feet

But she'll never break, never break, never break, never break
This heart of stone, oh no, no, this heart of stone

[WhoTom]

I want to live, I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions I never give
That keep me searchin' for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

 

[SinceThe70s]

Searching,
Seek and destroy

[WhoTom]

I've looked under chairs
I've looked under tables
I try to find the key
To fifty million fables
They call me the Seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
'Til the day I die
