Now we are tall, and christmas trees are small, And you don’t ask the time of day. But you and I, our love will never die, But guess well cry come first of May. The apple tree that grew for you and me, I watched the apples falling one by one. And I recall the moment of them all, The day I kissed your cheek and you were mine ---

A stick, a stone, It’s the end of the road, It’s the rest of a stump, It’s a little alone It’s a sliver of glass, It is life, it’s the sun, It is night, it is death, It’s a trap, it’s a gun The oak when it blooms, A fox in the brush, A knot in the wood, The song of a thrush The wood of the wind, A cliff, a fall, A scratch, a lump, It is nothing at all It’s the wind blowing free, It’s the end of the slope, It’s a beam, it’s a void, It’s a hunch, it’s a hope And the river bank talks Of the waters of March, It’s the end of the strain, The joy in your heart ---

Times of peace, times of fights, constant movement is our life Can’t stop no more, not until we die We long for more eternity, and maybe there’s another life This one is short, no matter how you try Oh, but never give up all the hope to lead a good life No, don’t waste your given time to make things worse Time…marches Time…marches One without us all, never stops, yes Time…marches Time…marches On and on and on, flies eternally ---

To everything, turn, turn, turn. There is a season, turn, turn, turn. And a time to every purpose under heaven. A time of love, a time of hate. A time of war, a time of peace. A time you may embrace. A time to refrain from embracing. ---

The clouds prepare for battle In the dark and brooding silence Bruised and sullen storm clouds Have the light of day obscured Looming low and ominous In twilight premature Thunder heads are rumbling In a distant overture… All at once, the clouds are parted Light streams down in bright unbroken beams… Follow men’s eyes as they look to the skies The shifting shafts of shining weave the fabric of their dreams… ---

In 1814 we took a little trip Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip’ We took a little bacon and we took a little beans And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans We fired our guns and the British kept a’comin There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago We fired once more and they began to runnin’ on Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico We looked down the river and we see’d the British come And there must have been a hundred of ‘em beatin’ on the drum They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring We stood by our cotton bales and didn’t say a thing We fired our guns and the British kept a’comin There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago We fired once more and they began to runnin’ on Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico ---

The Texas sun beats down upon me Like the Devil’s smile I’d rather be anywhere else than here Was it a blinding lack of subtlety Or just a lack of style Responding to the ways and means of fear? Take me back to New Orleans And drop me at my door 'Cause I might love you, yeah, But I love me more ---
