Down in the willow garden
Where me and my true love did meet
It was there we went a courting
My love fell off to sleep
I had a bottle of burgundy wine
My true love she did not know
It was there I murdered that dear little girl
Down on the banks below
Down in a hole and I don’t know if I can be saved
See my heart, I decorate it like a grave
You don’t understand who they thought I was supposed to be
Look at me now, a man who won’t let himself be
Down in a hole - feeling so small
Down in a hole - losing my soul
I’d like to fly, but my wings have been so denied
Someone keeps calling my name
Someone keeps calling my name
Or is it just the rustling of the wind
Or is it just that I need a friend
Someone keeps calling my name, my name
I die each time
I hear this sound:
“Here he comes. That’s Cathy’s clown.”
I’ll take you home again, Kathleen
Across the ocean wild and wide
To where your heart has ever been
Since you were first my bonnie bride.
Take that look of worry, mine’s an ordinary life
Working when it’s daylight and sleeping when it’s night
I’ve got no far horizons, I don’t wish upon a star
They don’t think that I listen, ah but I know who they are
And I, I don’t mind
No I, I don’t mind
Oh I, I don’t mind
No I, I don’t mind
So take, take me home - 'cause I don’t remember
Take, take me home - 'cause I don’t remember
I don’t remember, I don’t recall
I got no memory of anything at all
I don’t remember, I don’t recall
I got no memory of anything -anything at all
Remember when you ran away and I got on my knees and begged you not to leave because I’d go berserk?
Listen to me warden, won’t you listen to me beg
Chop off a toe, a foot, or take a whole leg
I’m down on my knees man, you’re robbing my strength
Take it easy warden, won’t you leave me some length
I want a lawyer warden, I want a priest
Oh take it easy warden, leave the moustache at least.
(It’s amazing how reading a line in this thread can make me recall the exact lyrics to a song I haven’t thought of or heard for about thirty years!)
No stars in the black night
Looks like the sky fell down
No sun in the daylight
Looks like it’s chained to the ground, chained to the ground
The warden said, the exit is sold
If you want a way out
Silver and gold
Don’t give me a mansion on top of the hill
Don’t give me the world with a shallow thrill
But just give me a Savior, my life He can hold
I’d rather have Jesus than silver and gold
Woke up this morning, feeling kind of down
I called on my best friend, she could not be found
But I called on Jesus, my life He can hold
I’d rather have Jesus than silver and gold
I’ve got a mansion just over that hilltop
In that bright land where we’ll never grow old
And some day yonder we will never more wander.
But walk on streets of purest gold
Oh, shine a light shine a light on me brother,
I wait still as a stone
Then fall apart fall apart all together,
Make this broken house a home.
Give me more dancing a lot of less falling,
Give me more dancing a lot of less lot of less falling.
Don’t let Satan blow it out.
I’m gonna let it shine,
let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Let it shine til Jesus comes.
I’m gonna let it shine.
Let it shine til Jesus comes.
I’m gonna let it shine,
Let it shine til Jesus comes.
I’m gonna let it shine.
let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine,
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine,
let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
Shine on, harvest moon,
Up in the sky
Show me where to look
Tell me what will I find
Oh, heaven let your light shine down
High life, I’m a fool for you
Low life, I like to break the rules
First bite, you know I got a taste for you
I’m gonna make you shine
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there’s a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Black hole sun, won’t you come
And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun, won’t you come
Won’t you come?
Black hearted woman
Can’t you see your poor man dyin’
Can’t count on both hands, baby
All the lonely nights I’ve been cryin’
Well, I’m tired of all your slippery ways
I can’t take your evil lyin’, oh, no
