Speak to me in succinct song lyrics

Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past,
And with this crutch, its old age and its wisdom
It whispers, “No, this will be the last.”

I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear

Let you slip through my fingers
Let you escape like yesterday
I would appreciate you knowing
I thought your love had come to stay
Talking out of turn, shot to pieces
When will I learn?

We work our jobs
Collect our pay
Believe we’re gliding down the highway
When in fact we’re slip slidin’ away
Slip slidin’ away

Slide away burn away
Slide away burn away
I read your mind
I read your mind
'Cause it takes me to where I can find

You’ve taken lots of chances before
But I’m not gonna give anymore
Don’t ask me…that’s how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you’re thinkin’

Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance, chance, chance

Shudder

Chances are 'cause I wear a silly grin
The moment you come into view
Chances are you think that I’m in love with you

Yeah. :frowning:

Well take a look at me now
Well there’s just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that’s what I’ve got to face

The words had all been spoken
And somehow the feeling still wasn’t right
And still we continued on through the night
Tracing our steps from the beginning
Until they vanished into the air
Trying to understand how our lives has led us there

Why did you kiss the world goodbye
Ciao Baby
Don’t you know paradise takes time
It takes time, but you’re not there
Fade away now
But you’re not there
Ciao Edie

Everyone said they were crazy
“Brenda you know that you’re much too lazy
and Eddie could never afford to live that kind of life.”
Oh, but there we were wavin’ Brenda and Eddie goodbye.

Little ditty about Jack and Diane
Two American kids done the best they can

O yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

I’m in love with an American girl
Well she’s my best friend
I love her surreptitious smile
That hides the pain within her
And we’ll go dancing in the rings of laughter
And live along by the shores

I love the flower girl
Oh, I don’t know just why
She simply caught my eye
I love the flower girl she seemed so sweet and kind
She crept into my mind

I love, I love, I love my calendar girl
Yeah, sweet calendar girl
I love, I love, I love my calendar girl
Each and every day of the year

No time for a summer friend
No time for the love you send
Seasons change and so did I
You need not wonder why

I’m sick of all you hypocrites holding me at bay
And I don’t need your sympathy to get me through the day
Seasons change and so can I
Hold on boy, no time to cry
Untie these strings, I’m climbing down
I won’t let them push me away

These are our roots and it’s our way
We grow, we reap and sow
We reap and sow the seasons of our day
