Clearly Love lyrics

(John Farrar)

If a ship of dreams bid me come, would I board it?
If I had their gold in my hands, would I hoard it?
If I knew the trials I must face, would I carry on at all?

Sail into tomorrow, living day to day
That's all I can afford to do and all I'll ever pay
Is a song to sing to thank you for making me alive
And a prayer to bring me comfort--Lord help us to survive

(Diane Berglund/Jim Phillips)

Where am I when you're not here
I see you but we're not clear
You wouldn't know
How could I show you

Where to look when I'm not here
You can hold and have me near
But when I go
How can I show you love

I just don't know
Who am I when you are you
I just don't know what to do
But when we're here
It's all so clearly love

(Diane Berglund/Jim Phillips)

Just a lot of folk
Sittin' 'round the fire warming
Singing all the songs
Memory won't deny
Just a lot of fools
Sittin' 'round the fire fooling
Blow the marshmallow out
And dream a dream gone by

Oh the magic
Of an endless spell
Cosmic wonder
Mystery won't tell
Sailing in our circles
Waiting on the light
Trying to remember

(Eddie Cochran)

Well I'm gonna raise a fuss and I'm gonna raise a holler
I've been working all summer just to try to earn a dollar
Well the time will come when baby, I try to get a date
My boss says ["No dice, girl, you gotta work late."]

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

(Labi Siffre)

Crying, crying never did nobody no good no how
That's why I don't cry
That's why I don't cry

Laughing, laughing sometimes does somebody some good somehow
That's why I--I'm laughing now
That's why I--I'm laughing now

Loving, loving never did me no good no how--no how
That's why I can't love you now
That's why I can't love you now

(Linda Hargrove)

A woman needs attention like the flowers need the sun
Without that attention, a woman feels undone
Now I'm like a flower that's been standin' in the rain
Hopin' and a-prayin' that the sun would shine again

Is there anybody out there who can shine?
Anytime would be fine
Is there anybody out there who can glow
And would like to see a little flower grow?

Heart Attack
Olivia Newton-John
(S. Kipner/P. Bliss)

My mouth is dry, my legs are weak
I'm thinking this cause I can't speak
I'm looking at you, you're looking at me
You must think that I'm just crazy

If you only knew what you're putting me through
It feels like a heart attack
You're giving me a heart attack
Heart attack
You're giving me a heart attack

(John Farrar)

I try to be patient--I try not to moan
But it's driving me crazy trying to live here alone
My conversation gets nowhere when I talk to myself
I've lost my sense of humor somewhere here on the shelf

The moon is wasting its shine shining on me
Until I see you again
I won't be out in the moonlight
And I'll be sleeping by ten
The birds are wasting their song singing to me

(Michel Brourman/Karen Gottlieb)

Hmmm...I love to see you when you aren't on the run
Looking long and lean and lazy lying in the sun
So, slow down Jackson, you don't have to fly anymore
Slow down Jackson, love must have left you at my door

Hmmm...You're a runner and you always will be
Maybe you can change your pacin' when you are runnin' with me

(John Farrar)

If a ship of dreams bid me come, would I board it?

Is a song to sing to thank you for making me alive
And a prayer to bring me comfort--Lord help us to survive

Once they were lovers but now they're not friends
She's found another--he says it's the end
To think they once tore down the wall for a door
But now they don't speak anymore

So he walks the streets--the few nights he can stand
Drinking her memory away when he can
Friends once would reach out to them from the shore
But now they don't cry anymore

(S. K. Dobbins)

You tell me how it was when you once knew him
He played his games with many women friends
You tell me that you don't think I'd be with him
If I could have known him way back then

You ask me why I don't pack up and leave him
Now that I know his wicked ways
Well I doubt that you could understand my thinking
But listen close to what I have to say

(S. K. Dobbins)
