Night Walk

Walking through the night under crystal stars
Walking on the roads where there are no cars
Hearing the hoot of owls in the trees
Here we are safe, so kiss me please
Take me to the heart of your lovable mind
Leave our sad times far behind
Take me to the places you love, baby
Crawling on the ground looking for your shoe
To drop in the dark is just like you
How can you lose your scarf and your money?
How on earth can you be so funny?
Take me to the heart of your lovable mind
Leave our sad times far behind
Take me to the places you love, baby
Scrambling through the woods trying to find the track
We went the wrong way, so we turned back
Sliding on the ice and we’re hand in hand
I’m taking you back to your homely land
Take me to the heart of your lovable mind
Leave our sad times far behind
Take me to the places you love, baby
Take my time
And sign it as yours
Take my house
There need be no laws
Take my body
And make it your own
Take my mind
There need be no loan

I want to write a song about nothing
But a man said a song had to be a political gesture
I want to write some words that only few would understand
But a man said they have to be obvious to everyone
Songs should be free to be about what they wanna be
Songs should be free to be about what they wanna be
Songs should be free to be about what they wanna be
Songs should be free to be about what they want to be
I want to write a song about a nice cup of tea
But a man said a song had to be a political gesture
I to want a song about our poor old rabbits
But a man said a song had to be a political gesture
Songs should be free to be about what they wanna be
Songs should be free to be about what they wanna be
Songs should be free to be about what they wanna be
Songs should be free to be about what they want to be
I want to write a song that would seem mad to you
So that’s what I’m going to do
Just you wait and see
Songs should be free to be about what they wanna be
Songs should be free to be about what they wanna be
Songs should be free to be about what they wanna be
Songs should be free to be about what they want to be
Songs should be free to be about what they wanna be
Songs should be free to be about what they wanna be
Songs should be free to be about what they wanna be
Songs should be free to be about what they want to be

I have arrived from my leaf
And I have lost my withered charm
I have lifted from from my sheath
The golden love that lies beneath
You have changed before my eyes
And you have woken from your sleep
You have spoke to me no lies
But you haven’t heard my broken cries
The tears behind your smile lie softly now
And you’re trying to hide them all away
I have lost a thousands friends
But I have done it all for you
Make a wish to be my command
And I wanna fly to some far away land
I have believed for all my life
But I have tried for all my life
The tears behind your smile lie softly now
And you’re trying to hide them all away
I have lost a thousands friends
But I have done it all for you
But I have done it all for you
But I have done it all for you
But I have done it all for you

White Dog

|
Strolling along my green isle
Sit to watch the ripples for a while
Taking time to think about our trust
Men and chocolate feed her lust
While your on that train
Will you think of him or me?
Spotting the pace of the white dog
Through the river and then through the bog
I wish he could just run and stop the train
You could ride him here and back again
While your on that train
Will you think of him or me?
Him or me
Passing through his front door
Will she stay there forever more
Far away up north they’re all alone
If the white dog goes I’ll give him a bone
While your on that train
Will you think of him or me?
Him or me

Glow, light
Moon on the water
Snow, white
Swan on the pool
Days are longer
But time is short
Rocks are taken
We have lost
Bright night
But darkest knowledge
Black dogs tear bleeding white horses
Days are longer
But time is short
Rocks are taken
We have lost
Na na na na na
