No matter where I roam I will return to my English rose For no bonds can ever tempt me from she I've sailed the seven seas, Flown the whole blue sky. But I've returned with haste to where my Love does lie.
Morning has broken, like the first morning. Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird. Praise for the singing, praise for the morning, Praise for them springing fresh from the Word. Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlight from heaven. Like the first dewfall, on the first grass. Praise for the sweetnes of the wet garden, Sprung in completeness where His feet pass. Edit: Oi devo, you beat me to it !!
Talking of wet gardens, have you still got your head above water or is the whole of the Isle of Wight sinking into the solent under the deluge of rain?
Dry today so far, thank God ! I'm more worried about the traffice queues - it took me two hours to drive 12 miles after work yesterday. I needed half a bottle of red wine by the time I got home. I'm leaving earlier this afternoon, in the hope it will be a quicker journey. Wish me luck !
Just a castaway An island lost at sea Another lonely day With no one here but me More loneliness Than any man could bear Rescue me before I fall into despair I'll send an SOS to the world I'll send an SOS to the world I hope that someone gets my Message in a bottle Message in a bottle
Yes indeed I'm alone again and here comes emptiness crashing in it's either love or hate I can't find in between cause I've been with witches and I have been with a queen it wouldn't have worked out any way so now it's just another lonely day further along we just may but for now it's just another lonely day
A turning tide, lovers in a great divide Why'd you laugh? When I know that you hurt inside And why'd you say It's just another day Nothing in my way I don't want to go, I don't want to stay So there's nothing left to say And why'd you lieeeeeeee? When you want to die, when you're hurt inside Don't know why you lie for anyway So there's nothing left to say Keane's best song by far
Would I lie to you baby, would I lie to you....oh yeah Don't you know it's true, girl there's no one else but you, would I lie to you baby, would I lie to you?
How can I explain away Something that I haven't done And if you can't trust me now You'll never trust in anyone With all the crazy doubts you've got I love you even still But if I can't change your mind Then no one will Someday you'll see I've been true I'll stay that way until But if I can't change your mind Then no one will
How can I think I'm standing strong, Yet feel the air beneath my feet? How can happiness feel so wrong? How can misery feel so sweet? How can you let me watch you sleep, Then break my dreams the way you do? How can I have got in so deep? Why did I fall in love with you? This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen, This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known, I was never crazy on my own… And now I know that there's a link between the two, Being close to craziness and being close to you.
I met my old lover On the street last night She seemed so glad to see me I just smiled And we talked about some old times And we drank ourselves some beers Still crazy afler all these years Oh, still crazy after all these years I'm not the kind of man Who tends to socialize I seem to lean on Old familiar ways And I ain't no fool for love songs That whisper in my ears Still crazy afler all these years Oh, still crazy after all these years
You promised me, green grass, not to tell what you heard. Whispering Grass, say! you can't keep your word, keep your word. Why do you whisper, green grass? Why tell the trees what ain't so ? Whispering Grass, the trees don't have to know. No, No, Why tell them all your secrets? Who kissed there long ago? Whispering grass, the trees don't need to know. Don't you tell it to the breeze 'cause she will tell the birds and bees And ev'ryone will know because you told the blabbering trees Yes, you told them once before; It's no secret any more. Why tell them all the old things? They're buried under the snow. Whispering Grass, don't tell the trees
I talk to the trees But they don't listen to me I talk to the stars But they never hear me The breeze hasn't time To stop and hear what I say I talk to them all in vain But suddenly my words Reach someone else's ears Touch someone else's heartstrings, too I tell you my dreams And while you're listening to me I suddenly see them come true
If we could talk to the animals, just imagine it Chatting to a chimp in chimpanzee Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting to a cheetah What a neat achievement that would be. If we could talk to the animals, learn their languages Maybe take an animal degree. We'd study elephant and eagle, buffalo and beagle, Alligator, guinea pig, and flea.
magine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people living for today
Mama take this badge from me I can't use it anymore It's getting dark too dark to see Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Who's that knocking on my door Who's that ringing on my bell Who's that loving me so well It's you for sure Who'd ask for more
