Turning, spinning, Catherine wheeling
Forever changing, there’s no beginning
You’re so very far from home
And so very much alone
Monday, sad sad Monday
She’s waiting for me
But I’m a long long way from home
Sad, sad Monday
She’s waiting for me
But I’m a long long way from home
Now you think you’re wiser because you’re older
And you think that money buys everything
And you think that you need no one to guide you
But you’re still a long way from home.
Well, I’m near the end and I just ain’t got the time
And I’m wasted and I can’t find my way home
And when you feel you’re near the end
And there’s a stranger where once was a friend
And you are left without a word
Only the whispers that you’ve overheard
Come, dearie, near me so ye can hear me, I’ve got to whisper this softly.
For though I’m burnin’ to shout my yearnin’, the words come tiptoein’ off me.
Oh, come to me, bend to me, kiss me good day!
Darlin’ my darlin’, ‘tis all I can say.
Jus’ come to me, bend to me, kiss me good day!
Gie me your lips an’ don’t take them away.
Dearie, life was cheery
In the good old days gone by
Do you remember
Uh huh!
Well if you remember
Well?
Well, Dearie, you’re much older than I
eep in December, it’s nice to remember,
Although you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December, it’s nice to remember,
Without a 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.
Lights around the tree
Mama’s whistling
Takes me back again
There’s something bout’ December
When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall
We used to love while others used to play
Don’t ask me why, but time has passed us by
Some one else moved in from far away
Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small
And you don’t ask the time of day
But you and I, our love will never die
But guess we’ll cry come first of May
I’ve got tall trees
I’ve got the wind that blows
I’ve got small knees
But they don’t show
So nobody knows
The rain is Tess
The fire is Jo
And they call the wind Maria.
Maria, you’ve gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find the word that means Maria?
I just might have a problem that you’ll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.
I want to walk across the Rainbow Bridge
And see my fathers in the Golden Hall
They beckon me to join their feast
In my dreams I hear their call
I could drive some old car through the desert tonight
Sleep on hotel sheets all soft and white
I will stop at the Mystery Spot, see water run uphill
I know I can make it, I’m convinced I will
Roll, L.A. River, roll
and take me to a better world
Where the sun shines all day
and the children laugh and play
Sunshine, come on back another day
I promise you I’ll be singin’
This old world, she’s gonna turn around
Brand new bells will be ringin’
I’m walking on sunshine (Wow!)
I’m walking on sunshine (Wow!)
I’m walking on sunshine (Wow!)
And don’t it feel good (Hey! Alright now!)
And don’t it feel good (I’ll say it I’ll say it I’ll say it again now)
And don’t it feel good (Hey yeah now!)
And don’t it feel good (Don’t it, don’t it, don’t it, don’t it, don’t it, don’t it)
(Thanks to Katrina and the Waves!)
