That Spell

OF HIM I LOVE BOTH DAY AND NIGHT

Of him I love both day and night

Though I heard somewhere he had gone

That was the first time that I lived

Now it all seems so twisted and wrong

TAKE BACK THY GIFT

Take back thy gift

Restore me to the ground

Take back thy gift

Lay me deeply in the earth

Oh the woods decay

So do they

Plow the fields then

Lie beneath

I remember wild and sweet melodies

In April, hear those lips that kiss so sweet

Ooooo

Woman of the dawn

She rises in the east

I beg her each morn

Release me please

Oh the woods decay

So do they

Plow the fields then

Lie beneath

I remember wild and sweet melodies

In April, hear those lips that kiss so sweet

THAT SPELL

We’re just living on your time

Don’t you worry cause it’s all gonna be fine

We’ll cover for you because

That’s what we do

Lost inside that spell for awhile

All of us learn the trick of a silent smile

And, ladies they now hold the keys

And I don’t say yes to you because you want me to

Bought at a house at twenty five

Daddy’s money doesn’t know how to run to dry

You don’t hear no and

Oh it shows

Lost inside that spell for awhile

All of us learn the trick of a silent smile

And, ladies they now hold the keys

And I don’t say yes to you because you want me to

CELILO

Goodbye to the place that no one knew

Forgotten canyons and roars of river blue

Fires invading their flames turned away

And all this beauty granted won’t last another day

This is not the country I remember

I saw fish swimming upstream

But lately it’s felt like a dream

Goodbye to the place my mother knew

The lives we lost just to benefit the few

This land is your land and this land is mine

Where are my wheat fields and dust clouds rolling by

This is not the country I remember

I saw fish swimming upstream

But lately it’s felt like a dream

THE WAIT

It is life in slow motion,

it's the heart in reverse,

it's a hope-and-a-half:

too much and too little at once.

It's a train that suddenly

stops with no station around,

and we can hear the cricket,

and, leaning out the carriage

door, we vainly contemplate

a wind we feel that stirs

the blooming meadows, the meadows

made imaginary by this stop.

WATER'S FLOWING DOWNWARD

Water’s always flowing downward

Maybe I should go there too

With the people who know hunger

And feel the rains come flooding through

Take what’s given

Don’t ask questions

Do your best to look away

But I can’t go softly

I won’t go gently

I’ll choose the water everyday

Mmm

What a woman with a secret

Something that is buried deep

In a house that’s filled with sunlight

Rays that warm her while she sleeps

Take what’s given

Don’t ask questions

Do your best to look away

But I can’t go softly

I won’t go gently

I’ll choose the water everyday

I could tell you of that evening

When it all came tumbling down

With my family gathered ‘round me

In a house half underground

CAROLINA

I seem to understand you now

Why you want to get away

And all the brown colors mix with

The pale yellow ones

And it makes me ache

I want the Carolina James told me

From my childhood

And all the while Mom sang along

I knew she understood

That all of us need to go

Where we can be heard

And I know my time has come

I think my time has come

Maybe my time frame’s getting blurred

I took a flight to Los Angeles

And everyone put on a show

I don’t want that either no not at all

But i don’t really know

I want the Carolina James told me

From my childhood

And all the while Mom sang along

I knew she understood

That all of us need to go

Where we can be heard

And i know my time has come

I think my time has come

Maybe my time frame’s getting blurred

DON’T TALK (PUT YOUR HEAD ON MY SHOULDER)

Brian Wilson and Tony Asher (Universal Music Publishing Group)

I can hear so much in your sighs

And I can see so much in your eyes

There are words we both could say

But don't talk, put your head on my shoulder

Come close, close your eyes and be still

Don't talk, take my hand and let me hear your heart beat

Being here with you feels so right

We could live forever tonight

Let’s not think about tomorrow

And don't talk put your head on my shoulder

Come close, close your eyes and be still

Don't talk, take my hand and listen to my heart beat

Listen, listen, listen.

Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder

Don't talk, close your eyes and be still

Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder

Don't talk, close your eyes and be still

Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder

WEDDING SONG

Father join our hands with loving words

Who cares tomorrow of her morning birds

Please don’t hesitate for time only takes

I fall in love with every move she makes

Mmmm

Father bless us both with hearts to share

My pure invocation of a lover’s prayer

Please don’t hesitate for time only takes

Still be in love when the morning breaks

Falling Fast

Oh the sight of this heaven smiles so

All this joy can’t end the past sorrow

And what has been darling, it has been

And I’ve had my hour of this life begin

MAGDALENE

All along the banks of the sea

Desert sands then nightly moonbeams

My Magdalene

Got a pocket full of silver and gold

With that money she won’t do as she’s told

My Magdalene

Oooo

History is wrong from time to time

OOOO

The winners, oh the winners always lie

Holds the truth deep inside of her mind

First of all, first of all humankind

My Magdalene

Oooo

History is wrong from time to time

OOOO

The winners, oh the winners always lie
