ARROW
I wish I could fall in love
Though it only leads to trouble, oh I know it does.
Still I'd fool myself and gladly just to feel I was
In love, in love.
I wish I could feel my heartbeat rise
And gaze into some gentle warm excited eyes,
And give myself as truly as an arrow flies
In windless skies.
Oh, I remember you in the TV light
Holding you close to me where we lay,
And now I wish I knew some of those softer nights
Whispering quietly, feeling you turn to me.
It was only last night in the winter dark
I dreamed of how you loved in all your innocence,
And I've never known a softer warmer feeling since
Or a truer heart.
But maybe these dreams are leading me;
Maybe love is not as gentle as my memory;
Maybe time and wishful half-remembered fantasies
Or the greatest heart.
Oh, but I remember you in the TV light
Holding you close to me where we lay,
And now I wish I knew some of those softer nights
Whispering quietly, feeling you turn to me.
I Wish I could feel my heartbeat rise
And gaze into some gentle warm excited eyes,
And give myself as truly as an arrow flies
In windless skies.
Oh, I wish I could fall in love
Though it only leads to trouble, oh I know it does.
Still I'd fool myself and gladly just to feel I was
In love.
FREEDOM KNOWS MY NAME
Freedom pulls my heart strings
As I board another plane
It's not leavin' I am wanting
But freedom knows my name
Friends turn into strangers
Strangers can be cold
I've been blessed with angels
At least I'm not alone
And they come to me in a sunrise
In the words of some old song
In the name of all creation
In a life long out of bounds
Freedom knows my name
Freedom knows my name
Freedom knows my name
Tender roots grow deep with longing
To the core of solid ground
Mine go left of center and slightly of the ground
Through the war torn ages
Seams of freedom's fight
Drawn on hidden pages
Haunt our dreams at night
Freedom knows my name
Freedom knows my name
Freedom knows my name
To the child without a promise
To the frightened and the tame
Although it's just a whisper
Freedom knows your name
PURPLE HAZE
Purple Haze all in my brain
Lately things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky.
Purple Haze all around
Don't know if I'm coming up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me!
Help me, help me . . .
Yeah, Purple Haze all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You got me blowin', blowin' my mind
Is it tomorrow or just the end of time?
No, help me, oh . . .
Yeah, Purple Haze . . .
Oh, no, no
Oh help me, tell me, tell me
I can't go on like this.
You're making me blow my mind.
Oh, no, no . . .
TOO LATE TO GO
Too Late to go too late too late to go too late now baby
I already let my hair hang down too late too late to go
Too late to stay to stay I'll stay away to late now baby
I already let my hair hang down too late too late to go
Well you already seen my best you're gonna have to see the rest
And it's too late too late to go
Too late..................................
Well I knew from the first time we met
That you wouldn't be staying for my second set
But it's too late too late to go
Too late..................
Oh you ask me what's the score I don't know what the game is
But I wanna play some more and it's too late too late to go
LONG LONG TIME
Love will abide take things in stride
Sounds like good advice cos there's no-one by my side
Time washes clean love's wound unseen
That's what someone told me but I don't know what they mean
Cos I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
An' I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time
Caught in my fears blinking back the tears
I can't say you hurt me cos you never let me near
Cos I done everthing I know to try and make you mine
And I think it's gonna hurt me for a long long time
Wait for the day you go away
Knowing that you'd warned me of the price I'd have to pay
Love's fond lost who knows the cost
Living in the memory of a love that never was
BALLERINA
Well you didn't grow up to be a ballerina
But you do a great song and dance
Mamma used to rock you with a concertina
To the tune of a rock'n'roll band
You were such a little lady
Such a pretty little baby
Had the look that could undo a full grown man
You didn't grow up to be a ballerina
But you do a great song and dance
You never went further than that first tondu
But your smile sure made 'em rave
I'll bet you made your mom and daddy proud of you
When that float drove by and you waved
You were everybody's dream
Just a cutie beauty queen
Destined for a life of romance
You didn't grow up to be a ballerina
But you do a great song and dance
Put on your tutu
Do a great song and dance
Oh yeah you do do
Do a great song and dance
Well you made the grades in every class at school
It must've been your natural charm
When it was hot outside you always could stay cool
With that boy in your eye and the one in your arms
Never mind the arabesque
Just do what you did best
Come on we're gonna give the girl a hand
You didn't grow up to be a ballerina
But you do a great song and dance
Put on your tutu
Do a great song and dance
Oh yeah you do do
Do a great song and dance
