sing a song for everyone

sing a song for everyone

sing a song of love

sing a song that everybody knows

a melody that lingers on

some harmony on top

words that rhyme on anything

a song that just won't stop

chords that sound familiar

you heard it all before

easy does it every time

so I bring you number four

sweet melody for Dorothy

a lullaby of love

a simple song for uncle John

and everyone else I'm thinking off

beat controls the dancing floor

a hippy shake for two

sing along and sway away

until the morning dew

wonderful thing

be aware of what you see

when you look at all around

be amazed by what is there

a miracle so profound

it makes you realize

and find yourself astound

by this wonderful thing

the magnificence of this

the gleaming of a star

the light that you can see

it travelled from afar

and will there ever be

something more bizarre

than this wonderful thing

and in the meantime we just let it all go to waste

and in the meantime we just let it all go

what the hell is it all for

and why is it even there

we've wondered for so long

about this question of despair

we'll I've stopped breaking my head

I'd rather dance and dare!

in this wonderful thing

ever looming love

ever looming love, angel of light

now and forever, no end in sight

a whispering promise, still lingering on

here and everywhere, wonderful song

love for lifelong, for lifelong

ever looming love, keeping me sound

root in my soul. bloom around

the love I found, love I found

Savannah

welcome to Savannah, home of the girl scouts

welcome to Savannah, hostess of the south

you turn my head each day and it feels good

ooh let me while away in your sultry mood

once you've been in Savannah, you'll never leave somehow

she will take you by the hand, she'll lead you on from park to park

all the way to the riverside, all the way and further on, into the dark

welcome to Savannah, home of the girl scouts

welcome to Savannah, hostess of the south

you feed my fantasy, you're in my soul

you're just all over me and won't let go

once you've been in Savannah, you'll never leave somehow

waving girl by the riverside, she's waving for your save return

and she knows that you'll be back 'cause you will feel this lingering Savannah yearn

welcome to Savannah, home of the girl scouts

welcome to Savannah, hostess of the south

once you've been in Savannah, you'll never leave somehow

I tell ya, when you're in Savannah, you don't want to leave just now

that's exactly me

backwards around a corner

straight forward on a line

roundabout a circle

'til a quarter to nine

upwards to the limit

way down underneath

inside out my mind

take a picture please!

that's exactly where I want to go

that's exactly how I want to be

that's exactly me!

closer than beside you

further from the rest

not a step behind you

never second best

more than just a million

miles ahead from here

sliding slick 'n slender

may I dance you dear?

pass the next potential

opportunity on a plate

never mind what ever

can we set a date?

swaying on a sunset

rolling on a reel

take it to the table

who's the one to deal?

cuckoo calls

the cuckoo calls from behind the hills

a distant calling come over"

there's presents for you and you only

come and find your four leaf clover

the cuckoo calls from behind the hills

it's always there and always near

trying to get me to cross over

please hold me tight, I want to stay here

and you know it's you, it is in you

it's in you all the time

and you know it's you, it is in you

like an everlasting rhyme

the cuckoo calls from behind the hills

promising anything unreal

a made up bed   with clean white sheets

and nothing you have to feel

the cuckoo calls from behind the hills

it's a sudden call, out of the blue

sounds like a mysterious lorelei,

lingering all day through

she gets to me

she breaks my heart

she treats me wrong

she plays her tricks

and she leads me on

she takes me in

she weares me out

she keeps on going

just to mess about

but she gets to me

and she just knows how to get me

she spoils herself

she's such a belle

she changed her mind

more than I can tell

she turns her back

and slams the door

she runs away

to come back no more

people gather here

people gather here

god knows where they're from

between hope and fear

we shall overcome

the water flows for Bernadette

they're flying on her golden wings

all lining up for Bernadette

they're selling all her golden rings

and the sweet chestnut that saw it all

has turned into a weeping willow

her words fly around the world

still after long ago

poor lovely girl

she would never know

sweet, sweet persuasion

sweet persuasion

she laughs and she shakes her hear

as I suggest a restaurant

I promise her all the sweets

and everything else she'd possibly want

ooh sweet, sweet persuasion

and then her silence thunders in my ears

I look into her eyes to catch a spark in there

her mysterious smile shows she leading me on

and promises something spectacular

ooh sweet, sweet persuasion

I just have to win her over

I just have to win her over, over and over again

she takes my hand and blows my mind

my secrets wishes on the dress she wears

my courage out of one more glass of wine

and then I will carry her up the stairs

she laughs and she shakes her hear

Hebrides hills

I see a white house with an orange roof

and a wooden porch in front

looking out over a beautiful loch

where a breeze draws gentle ripples

green and rust brown meadows

are   flowing over in hills

these Hebrides hills that slowly fade to grey

and disappear in the horizon

and all this under a blue grey sky

woollen clouds are peacefully drifting

from left to right to somewhere else

where clouds are normally heading

and you'd be my waiting lady

and I'll be your coming man

and we'll drink our afternoon tea together

until the late midnight scotch

and I'll be you minstrel and I'll be your guard

and keep us from anything that would make us part

and the wind catches our love you whispers

to bring them onward to never fade

where your boat floats

where your boat floats

the water 's deep, the waves are wild

be careful and know:

the undertow can sweep you off

your feet and there you go

the wind is strong, you bow head

you're resistant to bend

when the whirlwind blows it may take you on

to there where is no end

oh how the wind blows, how the river flows

that is where your boat floats

whenever maybe, whatever comes

it's a weary road ahead

and the colours fade along the way

and turn to grey instead

and all this here and all that's there

you don't know if it's real

so stretch your back and take your time

cause all what's left is fear

it's a long, long road ahead

it's paved with fear and doubt

what comes around the bend

that's what all revolves about

a still pond

a still pond, an quiet even face

a still pond, no ripple or trace

a still pond, no noises no sound

a still pond. a silence all around

under a blue sky....

a still pond, no thought, no dream

a still pond, memory of a stream

a still pond, no present, no time

a still pond and all is in rhyme

under a blue sky....
