It’s a nice day for a white wedding
It’s a nice day to start again
I dreamed it last night
That my true love came in
So softly she entered
Her feet made no din
She came close beside me
And this she did say
It will not be long love
Till our wedding day.
I asked my love to take a walk
Just a little ways with me
And as we walked, we would talk
All about our wedding day
I gave my love a cherry
That had no stone
She’s my cherry pie
Cool drink of water such a sweet surprise
But he’s got high hopes
He’s got high hopes
He’s got high apple pie in the sky hopes
Soft as the voice of an angel
Breathing a lesson unheard
Hope with a gentle persuasion
Whispers a comforting word.
Don’t you know
Talkin’ 'bout a revolution sounds
Like a whisper
Swirling pictures of never ending dreams
I can’t see what these images mean
Locked inside can’t set the rainbow free
Like perishing flowers they sag and twist and die
There’s a revolution
Spinning, whirling, still descending
Like a spiral sea unending
Sound and fury drown my heart
Every nerve is torn apart
4, 3, 2, 1, Earth below us,
drifting, falling, floating weightless
calling, calling home
All God’s children get weary when they roam
Don’t it make you want to go home?
Children, go where I send thee,
How shall I send thee?
I’m gonna send thee one by one
One for the little bitty - baby
Born, born, born in Bethlehem.
Teach your children well, their father’s hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams, the one they fix, the one you’ll know by.
Don’t you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near.
Just like me they long to be
Close to you.
Down at the end, round by the corner
Close to the edge, just by a river
Seasons will pass you by
I get up, I get down
And they whirled and they twirled and they tango
Singin’ and jinglin’ a jangle
Floatin’ like the heavens above
Looks like muskrat love
(Heaven knows) what kind of fool am I
(Heaven knows) why you take an eye for an eye
(Heaven knows) what comes over me
You were pumping iron as I was pumping irony
See me hustle, feel my muscle,
Pumping Iron.
Stretching my bullworker,
I’m heaving on my weights.
See my flex my delts and pecs - I’m
Pumping Iron.
Bonds will break and fade, a snapping all in two
The lies that bind the tie, come sailing out of you
A show of strength is all you want
You can never set it down…
