I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We lived happily forever, so the story goes*
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But we’ll try best that we can to carry on
*It is so incredibly obvious that this lyrics should have been “We lived happily ever after, the story’s told.”
Carry on. Love is coming. Love is coming to us all.
Carry on my wayward son
For there’ll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don’t you cry no more
It is time for you to stop all of your sobbing
Yes it’s time for you to stop all of your sobbing, uh huh
There’s one thing you gotta do
To make me still want you
Gotta stop sobbing now
Yeah, stop it, stop it
Her eyes like windows, trickle in rain
Upon the pain getting deeper
Though my love wants to relieve her
She walks alone from wall to wall
Lost in her hall, she can’t hear me
Though I know she likes to be near me
Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa
I’m not Lisa, my name is Julie
Lisa left you years ago
My eyes are not blue
But mine won’t leave you
'Til the sunlight has touched your face
Hey Julie,
Look what they’re doing to me
Trying to trip me up
Trying to wear me down
Julie, I swear, it’s so hard to bear it
And I’d never make it through without you around
I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you, guess I’ll start it all again
You know I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you, I need you
I need love
Not some sentimental prison
I need God
Not the political church
I need fire
To melt the frozen sea inside me
I need love
You were living your life just like a little girl
Spreading your wings in the middle of this little world
In your mind your tiny mind
You know you’ve fallen far behind
Now you’re gonna burn
Fire! You’re gonna burn!
Hey, little girl
Where will you hide?
Who can you run to now?
Hey, little girl
Where will you go?
Who can you turn to now?
Nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
Yeah runnin’ down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin’ on a mystery, goin’ wherever it leads
Runnin’ down a dream
'Cause you’re working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you’re working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
I’m workin’ on a buildin’
I’m workin’ on a buildin’
I’m workin’ on a buildin’
For my Lord, for my Lord
Build ye more stately mansions, O my soul
Our house, it has a crowd
There’s always something happening
And it’s usually quite loud
Our mum she’s so house-proud
Nothing ever slows her down and a mess is not allowed
Never gonna go a day without you
Fills me up just thinkin’ about you
I’ll never go a day
Without my mama
Now I can’t keep you mama
But I know you’re always there
You listen, you teach me mama
And I know inside you care
So get down, down here beside me
Oh you ain’t going nowhere
No I won’t hurt you mama
But its getting so hard, oh-oh
Ha-ha, ha! Ha-ha, ha, oh!
Ha-ha, ha! Ha-ha, ha, oh!
And it’s a hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard, and it’s a hard
And it’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall
