My mother was the cold North wind, My daddy was the son, of a railroad man from west of hell, Where the trains don’t even run Never heard the whistle of a lonesome freight, Or the singing of it’s driving wheel, No I, never did no wanderin’ Never did no wanderin’ Never did no wanderin’ after all ---

Tomorrow shall be my dancing day; I would my true love did so chance To see the legend of my play, To call my true love to my dance; Sing, oh! my love, oh! my love, my love, my love, This have I done for my true love Then was I born of a virgin pure, Of her I took fleshly substance Thus was I knit to man’s nature To call my true love to my dance. In a manger laid, and wrapped I was So very poor, this was my chance Betwixt an ox and a silly poor ass To call my true love to my dance. ---

I can’t dance, I can’t talk. Only thing about me is the way that I walk. I can’t dance, I can’t sing. I’m just standing here selling everything. ---

[Someone mentioned birds? :D] [A crow flew to me, kept its distance. Such a proud creation I saw it’s soul, envied it’s pride But needed nothing it had Don’t give me love, don’t give me faith. Wisdom not pride, give innocence instead. Don’t give me love, I’ve had my share. Beauty not rest, give me truth instead. A dove came to me, had no fear. It rested on my arm. I touched its calm, envied its love. But needed nothing it had. A swan of white, she came to me. The lake mirrored her beauty sweet. I kissed her neck, adored her grace. But needed nothing she could give.]([NIGHTWISH - The Crow, The Owl and The Dove (OFFICIAL FAN VIDEO) - YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyY5QMf41dk)) ---

Father, hear thy children’s call Humbly at thy feet we fall Prodigals confessing all We beseech thee, hear us! We thy call have disobeyed Into paths of sin have strayed And repentence have delayed We beseech thee, hear us! Come sing about Love! That made us first to be Come sing about Love! That made the stone and tree Come sing about Love! That draws us lovingly We beseech thee, Hear us! ---

Wonderful baby livin’ on love The sandman says maybe he’ll take you above, Up where the girls fly on ribbons and bows, Where babies float by just Counting their toes. Wonderful baby nothin’ but new The world has gone crazy, I’m glad I’m not you. At the beginning or is it the end? It goes in and comes out and starts over again. ---
