When you’ve seen beyond yourself
Then you may find peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see we’re all one
And life flows on within you and without you.
And you may find yourself
Living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself
In another part of the world
And you may find yourself
Behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house
With a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, well
How did I get here?
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
I feel like I’m drowning
I’m drowning
You’re holding me down
And holding me down
You’re killing me slow
So slow, oh no
I feel like I’m drowning
I’m drowning…
I’ve been down one time
I’ve been down two times
And now I’m drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
'Loudly the bell in the old tower rings
'Biding us list to the warning it brings.
'Sailor take care! Sailor take care!
'Danger is near thee, beware! Beware!
'Beware! Beware!
'Many brave hearts are asleep in the deep so beware! Beware!
'Many brave hearts are asleep in the deep so beware! Beware!Over there, over there
Send the word, send the word over there
That the Yanks are coming
The Yanks are coming
The drums rum-tumming
Everywhere
So prepare, say a prayer
Send the word, send the word to beware
We’ll be over, we’re coming over
And we won’t come back till it’s over
Over there
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dream of
once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dream of dreams
really come true
Someday, I wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That’s where you’ll find me
Why are there so many songs about rainbows,
And what’s on the other side?
Rainbows are visions; they’re only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
Yet, you ran with me
Chasing my rainbows
And I love you too
I’m always chasing rainbows,
Watching clouds drifting by,
My schemes are just like all my dreams,
Ending in the sky.
Have you seen her dressed in blue?
See the sky in front of you
And her face is like a sail
Speck of white so fair and pale
Have you seen a lady fairer?
She comes in colors ev’rywhere
She combs her hair
She’s like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she’s gone
The rusted chains of prison moons
Are shattered by the sun
I walk a road horizons change
The tournament’s begun
The purple piper plays his tune
The choir softly sing
Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
For the court of the crimson king
I never meant 2 cause U any sorrow
I never meant 2 cause U any pain
I only wanted one time 2 see U laughing
I only wanted 2 see U laughing in the purple rain
I saw her sitting in the rain
Raindrops falling on her
She didn’t seem to care
She sat there and smiled at me
Then I knew
She could make me happy
Flowers in her hair
Flowers everywhere
I don’t mind spendin’ everyday
Out on your corner in the pourin’ rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awile…
Everybody’s gonna catch their death
In the pouring rain
Everybody better hold their breath
In the pouring rain
Everybody’s gonna walk on by
Everbody hide away
Everbody’s gonna pull their blinds
And stay inside and pass these days
I know I’ve seen a lot
Lord knows sometimes I’ve cried
But I know we can’t sit like this
And shake our fists
While lovers kiss and die
In the pouring rain
Everybody’s talking at me
I don’t hear a word they’re saying
Only the echoes of my mind
People stopping, staring
I can’t see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
All day long I hear people talking out loud
When you hold me near
You drown out the crowd
Ol’ Mr. Webster could never define
What’s being said between your heart and mine…
Truly, I have wept too much
In the dawns are heart breakers
Every moon is atrocious, every sun bitter
Sharp love has swollen me up!
