So raise the candles high,
'Cause if you don’t we could stay black against the night.
Oh, raise them higher again,
And if you do, we could stay dry against the rain.
I’ve been trying so hard to forget you
But this chore of forgetting I find
Has me burning both ends of the candle
And fighting a battle with time
Ohh Ohh I can’t remember to forget you
Ohh Ohh I keep forgetting I should let you go
Air…Air
It can break your heart
So remember when the weather gets rough
(You’ll say to yourself)
What is happening to my skin?
Where is that protection that I needed?
Air can hurt you too
Air can hurt you too
Only love can break your heart,
Try to be sure right from the start,
Yes, only love can break your heart…
What if your world should fall apart?
Now I’m free–.
Free fallin’.
Yeah, I’m free–
Free fallin’.
I’m free
I’m free
And freedom tastes of reality
I’m free
I’m free
An’ I’m waiting for you to follow me
Deep in December it’s nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow
Deep in December it’s nice to remember
Without the hurt the heart is hollow
Deep in December it’s nice to remember
The fire of September that made us mellow
Deep in December our hearts should remember and follow
Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we’ve no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
I’ve got to get home - Oh, baby, you’ll freeze out there
Say, lend me your comb - It’s up to your knees out there
You’ve really been grand - Your eyes are like starlight now
But don’t you see - How can you do this thing to me
There’s bound to be talk tomorrow - Making my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can’t stay - Get over that old out
Ahh, but it’s cold outside
I wanna to jump but I’m afraid I’ll fall
I wanna to holler but the joint’s too small
Young man rhythm’s got a hold of me too
I got the rockin’ pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu
You can climb a mountain
You can swim the sea
You can jump into the fire
But you’ll never be free
Step into Christmas
Let’s join together
We can watch the snow fall forever and ever
Let me take you down
'Cause I’m going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
I told you about strawberry fields
You know the place where nothing is real
Well here’s another place you can go
Where everything flows.
Looking through the bent-backed tulips
To see how the other half live
Looking through a glass onion.
I don’t like snails or toads or frogs
Or strange things living under logs
But mmm, I love onions!
I don’t like to dance with Crazy Ted
He’s always jumping on my head
But mmm, I love onions!
Onions, onions, la-la-la!
Onions, onions, ha-ha-ha!
Root doot doot-doot, doot doot doot!
‘I don’t like spiders and snakes
And that ain’t what it takes to love me
You fool, you fool
I don’t like spiders and snakes
And that ain’t what it takes to love me
Like I want to be loved by you’
But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning 'round…
If you come down to the river
I bet you going to find some people who live
And you don’t have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we’re rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
That’s where I first saw Mary
On that roadside picking blackberries
That summer I turned a corner in my soul
Down that red dirt road
