Prairie Wedding

We only knew each other by letter

I went to meet her off the train

When the smoke had cleared and the dust was still

She was standing there and speaking my name

I guarantee she looked like an angel

I couldn't think of what I should say

But when Adam saw Eve in the garden

I believe he felt the selfsame way

I handed her up on the wagon

And I loaded up her trunk behind

She was sitting up there with the gold in her hair

And I tried to get hold of my mind

We finally headed out of the station

And we drove up to the home trail

And when we came to the farm she laid a hand on my arm

I thought my resolution would fail

And I froze as she stepped in the doorway

Stood there as still as could be

I said I know it ain't much, it needs a woman's touch

Lord she turned around and looked at me

We had a prairie wedding

There was a preacher and a neighbour or two

I gave my golden thing a gold wedding ring

And the both of us said I do

Now she is my wife

And when the sun's going down on the prairie

And the gold in her hair is aflame

I say do you really love me Mary

And I hold her and I whisper her name

Perhaps Love...

Perhaps love is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home

Perhaps love is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
And don't know what to do
The memory of love will see you through

Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of change
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Thunder when it rains

And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
And some say they don't know

BLOWING IN THE WIND

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man ?

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea ?

How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free ?

How many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see ?

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky ?

How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry ?

How many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died ?

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind.

ECLIPCS

All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel.
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save.
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy,
beg, borrow or steal.
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say.
All that you eat
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight.
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

"There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark."

Father and Son

Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them They know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

(Father: Stay Stay Stay, Why must you go and why you make this decision alone?)

Life is beautiful that way

Smile, without a reason why
Love, as if you were a child,
Smile, no matter what they tell you
Don't listen to a word they say
Cause life is beautiful that way.


Tears, a tidal wave of tears
Light, that slowly disappears
Wait, before you close the curtain
There is still another game to play
And life is beautiful that way


Keep the laughter in you eyes
Soon your long awaited prize
We'll forget about our sorrows
And think about a brighter day
Cause life is beautiful that way.


We'll forget about our sorrows
And think about a brighter day,
Cause life is beautiful that way
There's still another game to play
And life is beautiful that way.
