So my friends give me your true intention that discovery can't find
Life is full of magic wonders when you open up your mind
There's a new adventure moving just around the bend
Oh it's already looking better
Oh it's already feeling brighter
I'll remember when
Oh yes it's dreaming time again

(Corey Hart — Dreaming Time Again)

 

[EJunkie]

Well I was dreaming in a courtyard lost in thought
I raised my eyes and saw em all standing there
Well I don’t know if they were scared of me or not
All I know is they were scared


A couple of them pointed and said that’s him
Well that right there was all the evidence
They all circled around and closed me in
Well I’ve been closed in somewhere ever since

Well I’m one of the ones who know not what they do
Things don’t work too well inside my head
But if what those people say is really true
Lord help me now I might as well be dead

Well my lawyer came but he was in a hurry
Between you and me he seemed kind of high
When I finally stood before the judge and jury
They wouldn’t even look me in the eye

My mother said they’ll never set you free
She turned her face away as if to hide
I don’t know if momma cried for me
All I know is momma cried

And the preacher talked of all eternity
And the peace I’d find waiting on the other side
Well I don’t know if Jesus died for me
All I know is Jesus died

Tonight they shut the door and they took the key
They left me in this dark old cell to rot
There’s a bloody angel sits in here with me
And I can’t tell if it’s a dream or not

I can’t tell if it’s a dream or not

Dark Boogie #7; Kane, Welch, Kaplin

 

[bluebro69]

The Judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die"
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife

Now the scaffold is high, and eternity's near
She stood in the crowd but she shed not a tear
But some times at night when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones

She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me

(The Long Black Veil -- as sung by Johnny Cash)

 

[ogibowt]

The way she walks
The way she talks
How long can i pretend
oh I can,t help it
Im in love with the girl
Of my best friend
Her lovely hair
Her skin so fair
This could go on and never end
Oh i can,t help it
Im in love with the girl
Of my best friend
I long to tell her
Hold her in my arms
But then
What if she got real mad
And told him so
I could never face either one again
Ral Donner..Girl of My Best Friend..1961

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
Ooh, she'll make you flip
Here she comes again
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
I kinda like the way she dips
Well she's my best friend's girl
She's my best friend's girl but she used to be mine

(The Cars — My Best Friend’s Girl)

 

[kherg007]

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free

They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

Don MacLean "Vincent"

 

[bluebro69]

Yellow is the colour of my true love's hair
In the mornin' when we rise
In the mornin' when we rise
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best

Blue's the colour of the sky
In the mornin' when we rise
In the mornin' when we rise
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best

Green's the colour of the sparklin' corn
In the mornin' when we rise
In the mornin' when we rise
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best

Mellow is the feelin' that I get
When I see her, mm-hmm
When I see her, ah-ha
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best

(Colours -- Donovan)

 

[kherg007]

I'm just mad about Saffron
Saffron's mad about me
I'm just mad about Saffron
And she's just mad about me

They call me mellow yellow (quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow (quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow

Donovan "Mellow Yellow"

 

[fromtheshwa]

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called, "Yellow"

So then I took my turn
Oh, what a thing to have done
And it was all yellow

Your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
And you know, you know I love you so
You know I love you so

(Coldplay - Yellow)

 

[EJunkie]

I was thinking 'bout you, crossing Southern Alberta
Canola fields on a July day
About the same chartreuse as that sixty-nine Bug
You used to drive around San Jose

Canola Fields; James McMurtry

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

There is a town in north Ontario
With dream comfort memory to spare
In my mind, I still need a place to go
All my changes were there
Blue, blue windows behind the stars
Yellow moon on the rise
Big birds flying across the sky
Throwing shadows on our eyes
Leave us helpless, helpless, helpless
Baby can you hear me now?

(Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young — Helpless)

 

[EJunkie]

Yellow moon, yellow moon,
why you keep peeping in my window?
Do you know something I don't know?
Did you see my baby
walking down the railroad tracks?
You can tell me if the girls
ever coming back.
Is she hid out with another
or is she trying to get back home?
Is she wrapped up in some other's arms?
Or is the girl somewhere all alone?
Can you see if she is missing me,
or is she having a real good time?
Has she forgotten all about,
or is the girl still mine all mine?

Yellow Moon; Aaron Joseph Neville / Joel Roux Neville sung by Slowpoke

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

I'm coming home, I've done my time
Now I've got to know what is or isn't mine
If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do if you still want me
If you still want me
Oh tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree
It's been three long years, do you still want me?
If I don't see a ribbon round the ole oak tree
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us, put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree

(Tony Orlando and Dawn — Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree)

 

[kherg007]

Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy is spent

Impassioned lovers wrestle as one;
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young

Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight
Red is grey and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion

Moody Blues "Nights in white satin/Late lament"

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Move on living colour like we're born creators
Shadows on the ceiling when I’m in your favour
And when it comes to go
Take me high, take me low
Keep waiting in my soul
Waiting, waiting, through time

(The Paper Kites — Living Colour)

 

[EJunkie]

I’m a miner’s daughter
He moved a mountain for me
Taught me to dig deeper
Beyond and beneath what the eye could see
He'd say: “Balance your goals, turn your back to the cold and move forward”
Between lights green and red
Port and starboard
When times change the hands don't stop moving
He went back to the ocean just to keep us afloat
And "Down With The Ship" was the headline that broke me
So who am I now?

I'm the fallen man's daughter
And you are the lighthouse I see
From the darkness
Caught between port and starboard
Those damn October winds call to young men
And keep them
Between lights green and red
Port and starboard
Port and starboard

The Fallen Man’s Daughter; Derina Harvey Band

 

[bluebro69]

Well, I was born a coal miner's daughter
In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler
We were poor, but we had love
That's the one thing that daddy made sure of
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar

My daddy worked all night in the Van Leer coal mines
All day long in the field, a-hoin' corn
Mommy rocked the babies at night
And read the Bible by the coal-oil light
Everything would start all over, come break of mornin'

(Coal Miner's Daughter -- Loretta Lynn)

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

I'm gunna watch you shine
Gunna watch you grow
Gunna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father loved his daughter
More than I love you

(Paul Simon — Father and Daughter)

 

[fromtheshwa]

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's hard-earned pay
You and me Sunday driving
Not arriving on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

(Beatles - Two of Us)

 

[kherg007]

I thought I heard the captain say
Pay me my money down
Tomorrow is our sailing day
Pay me my money down

Pay me, pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down

As soon as the boat was clear of the bar
Pay me my money down
He knocked me down with a spar
Pay me my money down

Springsteen "Pay me my money down"
