We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion year old carbon,
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that were apart
You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust
Of yesterday
The music
Of the years
Gone by
Do you ever wonder if the stars shine out for you?
Float down
Like autumn leaves
Hush now
Close your eyes before the sleep
And you’re miles away
And yesterday you were here with me
Hush, little baby, don’t say a word.
Papa’s gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won’t sing,
Papa’s gonna buy you a diamond ring
Men grow cold
As girls grow old,
And we all lose our charms in the end.
But square-cut or pear-shaped,
These rocks don’t loose their shape.
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.
My dogs come sit next to me
a pack of dogs and cigarettes
my only friends speak no words to me
but they look at me
and they don’t forget
that a boy’s best friend is his mother
or whatever has become his pet
You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you’re on the street
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.
You got to fight for your right to party!
So thank you for writing the best songs.
Thank you for righting a few wrongs.
You’re a savage gift on a wayward bus,
But you stepped down and you sang to us.
And get you down to the harbor now.
Most of the sour grapes are gone from the bough.
Ghosts of Johanna will visit you there.
And the winds of the old days will blow through your hair.
Oh look outside the window, there’s a woman being grabbed
They’ve dragged her to the bushes and now she’s being stabbed
Maybe we should call the cops and try to stop the pain
But Monopoly is so much fun, I’d hate to blow the game
And I’m sure it wouldn’t interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends
Ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend
People can be so cold
They’ll hurt you and desert you
They’ll take your soul if you let them now
So don’t you let them
I gotta see my girl, I gotta see her eyes
The barometer is falling, only she can make it rise
There’s nothing on the trees, there’s nothing for me here
I gotta find salvation and some thermal underwear
It’s cold and it’s getting colder
They’re evacuating Satan who’s waiting for hell to freeze over
Oh it’s cold, like an endless winter
The stars are all gone and even the sun is cold
The moons on the run and even the sun is cold
I see the winter, she’s crawling up the lawn
I feel her breathing beneath my palms
She tears the trees down while curses roll from her tongue
Got eyes like anvils and storms for lungs
Hiding in our house, sunburn in his mouth,
Summer’s in our basement now
Light beneath the door, light beneath the door,
Just enough to keep us warm
Don’t you let it out, don’t you let it out,
Just make sure he’s always around
When I woke there I was by the winter tree
Nothing changed but a thought in the air
Seasons turn, take their days
And in time, I’ll take mine
I’ll go back there
Have you ever seen a better day
Though we follow many different ways
Though your mind may hold the winter time
Spring is never very far behind
In the summer under open skies
We’ll see the sunshine, shine on
Take it easy live today today
We’ll see the sunshine, shine on
It was only a winter’s tale
just another winter’s tale
and why should the world take notice
of one more love that’s failed
a love that could never be
though it meant a lot to you and me
on a world wide scale we’re just another winter’s tale
Time, time, time, see what’s become of me.
While I looked around for my possibilities,
I was so hard to please.
But look around, the leaves are brown,
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter.
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I’ve been for a walk
On a winter’s day
I’d be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
California dreaming on such a winter’s day
When the wintry winds starts blowing
And the snow is starting in the fall
Then my eyes went westward knowing
That’s the place that i love best of all
California i’ve been blue
Since i’ve been away from you
I can’t wait 'till i get blowing
Even now i’m starting in a call
California, Here I Come
Right back where I started from
where bowers of flowers
bloom in the spring
each morning at dawning
birdies sing at everything
a sunkissed miss said, “Don’t be late!”
that’s why I can hardly wait
open up that golden gate
California, Here I Come
Sister, I lost you,
When you were still a child,
But I need you now,
And I need our former life.
I’m afraid to wake,
I’m afraid to love.
But just because I’m weak,
You can steal my dreams.
You can reach inside my head,
And you can put your song there instead.
Please, come to me.
Please, stay with me.
Please,
Sing,
Cry,
Cry.
Sing to me, raven,
I miss her so much.
Sing to me, Lily,
I miss you so much.
I see the raven’s made
Her nest in your eyes
She’s got you thinking that
Her love is a prize
And you’ll go under from
The weight of her lies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies
