He was a most peculiar man
He lived all alone within a house
Within a room, within himself
A most peculiar man
But each hurt makes my love stronger than before
I know flowers go through rain
But how can love go through pain
Ain’t that peculiar
I am Pain
I am real, I’m not a dream
I’m the chain around your neck as you scream
Surrender now
You can’t beat death at his ruthless game
Make your bow, hang your head in shame
And when from death I’m free
I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on
And when from death I’m free I’ll sing on.
And when from death I’m free
I’ll sing and joyful be
And through eternity
I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on
And through eternity
I’ll sing on.
It may be that Death’s bright Angel will speak in that chord again;
It may be that only in Heav’n I shall hear that grand Amen!
Earth angel, earth angel
Will you be mine?
My darling dear
Love you all the time
I’m just a fool
A fool in love with you
You got to tell me brave captain,
Why are the wicked so strong,
How do the angels get to sleep,
When the devil leaves the porch light on.
Everybody Listen to me
And return me, my ship
I’m your captain, I’m your captain
Though I’m feeling mighty sick
Lost in the open ocean,
There were some of the crew and me,
While the captain steered our wounded ship,
To the bottom of an angry sea,
And with his dying breath we all heard him say,
“'Tis the fortunes of a sailor.”
And he said “Never mind the ship, me boys,
There’s none of us here can save her.”
Anchors Aweigh, my boys,
Anchors Aweigh.
Farewell to foreign shores,
We sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.
Through our last night ashore,
Drink to the foam,
Until we meet once more.
Here’s wishing you a happy voyage home.
Ah, come on all you lads
Let’s forget and forgive
There’s a world to explore
Tales to tell back on shore
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Six months in a leaky boat
Come all ye lads
draw near to me
that I be not forsaken
This day was lost the Jeannie C.
and my living has been taken
I’ll go to sea no more
Many brave hearts are asleep in the deep so beware! Beware!
Golden slumbers fill your eyes,
Smiles await you when you rise,
Sleep pretty darling, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby.
Irene Goodnight,
Irene Goodnight,
Goodnight Irene,
Goodnight Irene.
I’ll see you in my dreams.
Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself, it’s only me
Who wants to wrap around your dreams and,
Have you any dreams you’d like to sell?
You follow your feelings,
You follow your dreams,
You follow the leader
Into the trees. . .
Dream on, dream on,
Dream until your dreams come true.
California dreaming on such a winter’s day.
California’s on my mind,
Surf and sand setting in the sun.
California’s on my mind,
One day you’re gonna be
A place in our memory.
