Lady D’Arbanville

My Lady d’Arbanville, why do you sleep so still?
I’ll wake you tomorrow
and you will be my fill, yes, you will be my fill.

My Lady d’Arbanville why does it grieve me so?
But your heart seems so silent.
Why do you breathe so low, why do you breathe so low,

My Lady d’Arbanville why do you sleep so still?
I’ll wake you tomorrow
and you will be my fill, yes, you will be my fill.

My Lady d’Arbanville, you look so cold tonight.
Your lips feel like winter,
your skin has turned to white, your skin has turned to white.

My Lady d’Arbanville, why do you sleep so still?
I’ll wake you tomorrow
and you will be my fill, yes, you will be my fill.

La la la la la….

My Lady d’Arbanville why do you grieve me so?
But your heart seems so silent.
Why do you breathe so low, why do you breathe so low,

I loved you my lady, though in your grave you lie,
I’ll always be with you
This rose will never die, this rose will never die.

I loved you my lady, though in your grave you lie,
I’ll always be with you
This rose will never die, this rose will never die.

tulips in yellow deep, it was just another night

Just Another Night

i remember standing here
right on this very same site
i was dying but for you
it was just another night
you once rocked me in your world
you bought me my first shoes
i was just another lonely child
oh and you were much amused

so you took me and you dressed me well
all for your friends to see
drained my body calmly till
there was no more left in me
then you walked out and you cut me cold
out on the road somewhere
why it happened well i don’t know
and i still have no idea

but everybody needs a friend sometimes
you need a little help
and who knows maybe one day you’ll seek mine
only time will tell
you once held me in your arms
you made me feel so right
i was flying but for you
it was just another night

but everybody needs a little help
whether or not you think you really do
everybody needs a little help
now the time has come for you

i ain’t looking to fight no wars
no more talking trash
i’m not seeking any more pain
cause i’ve had enough of that
but don’t you worry it’s alright
if you should come around
any night or any day
i won’t ever let you down

I’ve got to show the world

Can’t Keep It In

Oh I can’t keep it in, I can’t keep it in, I’ve gotta let it out.
I’ve got to show the world, world’s got to see, see all the love
love that’s in me. I said, why walk alone, why worry when it’s
warm over here. You’ve got so much to say, say what you mean,
mean what you’re thinking, and think anything.
Oh why, why must you waste your life away,
you’ve got to live for today, then let it go
Oh, lover, I want to spend this time with you,
there’s nothing I wouldn’t do, If you let me know.
And I can’t keep it in, I can’t hide it and I can’t lock it away.
I’m up for your love, love heats my blood,
blood spins my head, and my head falls in love, oh.
No, I can’t keep it in, I can’t keep it in, I’ve gotta let it out.
I’ve gotta show the world, world’s got to know,
know of the love, love that lies low, so
Why can’t you say, If you know, then why can’t you say.
You’ve got too much deceit, deceit kills the light,
light needs to shine, I said shine light , shine light.
Love, That’s no way to live your life,
you allow too much to go by, and that won’t do.
No, lover. I want to have you here by my side
Now don’t you run, don’t you hide, while I’m with you.
‘N I can’t keep it in, I can’t keep it in, I’ve gotta let it out.
I’ve got to show the world, world’s got to see, see all the love
love that’s in me. I said, why walk alone, why worry when it’s
warm over here. You’ve got so much to say, say what you mean,
mean what you’re thinking, and think anything. Why not?
Now why why why not?

yellow tulips in blue, I’m a fugitive, community has driven me out

Blackness of the Night

In the blackness of the night
I seem to wander endlessly
with a hope burning out deep inside
I’m a fugitive, community has driven me out
For this bad, bad world I’m beginning to doubt
I’m alone and there is no one by my side

In the blackness of the night
I see a shadow passing by
from the heels of an old soldier boy.
There’s no comprimising
and his eyes are black as the sky
For this bad, bad world he is going to die.
He’s alone and there is no one by his side

In the blackness of the night
I see a sparkle of a star
from the sweet silver tear of a child
and she’s clutching at a photograph of long, long ago
When her parents were happy she was too young to know
she’s alone and there is no one by her side

I’m alone and there is no one by my side

In the blackness of the night
I seem to wander endlessly
with a hope burning out deep inside
I’m a fugitive, community has driven me out
For this bad, bad world I’m beginning to doubt
I’m alone, and there is no one by my side
