Lyrical Response

[Gray Beard]

Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said
Then you say, "go slow"
And I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

 

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time

[PastaJoe]

Don't put your head on my shoulder 
Sink me in a river of tears 
This could be the best place yet 
But you must overcome your fears
Ooh in time it could have been so much more 
The time is precious I know 
In time it could have been so much more 
The time has nothing to show because 

Time won't give me time and 
Time makes lovers feel like they've got something real 
But you and me we know they've got nothing but time
And time won't give me time, won't give me time (time, time, time)

[WhoTom]

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught, or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

 

[Gray Beard]

The song is over
It's all behind me
I should have known it
She tried to find me

 

Our love is over
They're all ahead now
I've got to learn it
I'm gonna to sing out

 

I'll sing my song to the wide open spaces
I'll sing my heart out to the infinite sea
I'll sing my visions to the sky high mountains
I'll sing my song to the free, to the free

 

 

 

(This one was too easy)

[Rob's House]

I feel no curiosity
I see the path ahead of me
In a minute I'll be free
And we'll be splashing in the sea
We hear a tiny cry
As the ship goes sliding by

Free

[KD in CA]

Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child
A long
Way
From my home, yeah
Yeah
Sing
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom

When lightning strikes you to the bone,

You turn around, you're all alone.

By the time you hear that siren sound,

Then your soul is in the lost and found,

Forever,

Forever,

Freedom Rider.

[Gray Beard]

Forever and ever
You'll stay in my heart and I'll love you
Forever and ever
We never will part how I'll love you
Together together
That's how it should be
Without you would only be heartbreak for me

[WhoTom]

I know what it means to be alone,
I sure do wish I was at home.
I don't care what the neighbors say,
I'm gonna love you each and every day.
You can feel the beat within my heart.
Realize, sweet babe, we ain't ever gonna part.

One toke over the line sweet Jesus,

One toke over the line,

Sittin' downtown in a railway station,

One toke over the line.

 

Waitin' for the train that goes home sweet Mary,

Hopin' that the train is on time.

Sittin' downtown in a railway station,

One toke over the line.

[WhoTom]

A poor girl wants to marry
And a rich girl wants to flirt
A rich man goes to college
And a poor man goes to work
A drunkard wants another drink of wine
And a politician wants a vote
I don't want much of nothin' at all
But I will take another toke

 

[Gray Beard]

No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want

But if you try sometime you find
You get what you need

 

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

[Rob's House]

So we've been told 
And some choose to believe it 
I know they're wrong, wait and see 
Some day we'll find it 
The rainbow connection 
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.

[PastaJoe]

Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

 

Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream until your dreams come true

[Gray Beard]

Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
'Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today
I'll be a dandy, and I'll be a rover
You'll know who I am by the songs that I sing
I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover
Who cares what the morrow shall bring

[WhoTom]

Good-bye Mama and Papa
Good-bye Jack and Jill
The grass ain't greener
The wine ain't sweeter
Either side of the hill.

Sweet love's showin' us a heavenly light,

Never seen such a beautiful sight.

See love glowing on us every night,

I know forever we'll be doing it.

[PastaJoe]

'Cause you, you light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days and fill my nights with song

 

It can't be wrong
When it feels so right
'Cause you…..you light up my life

[Gray Beard]

You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart
I feel like this is the beginning
Though I've loved you for a million years
And if I thought our love was ending
I'd find myself drowning in my own tears

[Bill from NYC]

I have a picture

Pinned to my wall,

An image of you and me and we're laughing'

We're loving it all.

But look at our life now,

All tattered and torn,

We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears

that we cry until dawn.

 

Hold me now, Whoa warm my heart,

Stay with me,

Let loving start,

Let loving start.
