Golden Hair lyrics

Lean out your window, golden hair

I heard you singing in the midnight air
my book is closed, I read no more

watching the fire dance, on the floor

I've left my book, I've left my room

For I heard you singing through the gloom

singing and singing, a merry air

lean out the window, golden hair...

Feel lyrics

You feel me

away far too empty, oh so alone!

I want to go home
Oh find me inside of a nocturne - the blonde

how I love you to be by my side

they wail...

the crowd on her side

she straggled the bridge by the water...

She misses her crawl

far ley grew

heady aside in a dell

inside an eye be the lonely one, my bride

how I leave on the waddling wheel

No Man's Land lyrics

You would hold your head up high

you even try

you would hold another hand:

oh understand!
They even see me under call

we under all,

we awful, awful, crawl

to hear my hour

come see me cry...

Just searching you even try

I can make you smile

if it's there will you go there too?

When I live I die!

They even see me under call

She Took A Long Cold Look lyrics

She took a long cold look at me

and smiled and gazed all over my arm

she loves to see me get down to ground
she hasn't time just to be with me

her face between all she means to be

to be extreme, just to be extreme

a broken pier on the wavy sea

she wonders why for all she wants to see...

But I got up and I stomped around

If It's In You lyrics

Yes I'm thinking of this, yes I am

puddle town, Tom was the underground

hold you tighter so close, yes you are

please hold on to the steel rail

colonel with gloves

he isn't loved on 'Sundays Mail'

all the fives crock Henrietta

she's mean go-getter

gotta write her a letter.

Did I wink of this, I am

yum, yummy, yum, don't, yummy, yum, yom, yom...

Terrapin lyrics

I really love you and I mean you

the star above you, crystal blue

Well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you...

I wouldn't see you and I love to

I fly above you, yes I do

well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you...

Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth

the fins a luminous

fangs all 'round the clown

is dark below the boulders hiding all

the sunlight's good for us

Late Night lyrics

When I woke up today

and you weren't there to play

then I wanted to be with you

when you showed me your eyes
whispered love at the skies

then I wanted to stay with you

inside me I feel alone and unreal

and the way you kiss will always be

a very special thing to me...

When I lay still at night seeing

stars high and light

then I wanted to be with you

Dark lyrics

Oh where are you now
pussy willow that smiled on this leaf?
When I was alone you promised the stone from your heart
my head kissed the ground
I was half the way down, treading the sand
please, please, lift a hand
I'm only a person whose armbands beat
on his hands, hang tall
won't you miss me?
Wouldn't you miss me at all?

The poppy birds way
swing twigs coffee brands around

No Good Trying lyrics

It's no good trying to place your hand

where I can't see because I understand

that you're different from me

yes I can tell
that you can't be what you pretend

and you're rocking me backwards

and you're rocking towards the

red and yellow mane of a stallion horse.

It's no good trying to hold your love

where I can't see because I understand

Love You lyrics

Honey love you, honey little,

honey funny sunny morning

love you more funny love in the skyline baby

ice-cream 'scuse me,
I've seen you looking good the other evening

Oh, you dig it, had to smile just an hour or so

(are) we in love like I think we be?

It Ain't a long rhyme.

It took ages to think

I think I'll hurl it in the water, baby...

Here I Go lyrics

This is a story about a girl that I knew

She didn't like my songs and that made me feel blue

She said a big band is far better than you...

She don't rock'n'roll, she don't like it

She don't do the stroll, well she don't do it right

Well everything's wrong and my patience is gone

When I woke one morning and remembered this song

Kinda catchy

Octopus lyrics

Trip to heave and ho, up down, to and fro'

you have no word

trip, trip to a dream dragon

hide your wings in a ghost tower

sails cackling at every plate we break
cracked by scattered needles

the little minute gong

coughs and clears his throat

madam you see before you stand

hey ho, never be still

the old original favorite grand

grasshoppers green Herbarian band

Long Gone lyrics

She was long gone, long, long gone

she was gone, gone, the bigger they come

the larger her hand 'till no one understands

why for so long she'd been gone.

And I stood very still by the window sill

and I wondered for those I love still

I cried in my mind where I stand behind

the beauty of love's in her eyes...

She was long gone, long, long gone

Dark Globe lyrics

Oh where are you now

pussy willow that smiled on this leaf?

When I was alone you promised the stone from your heart

my head kissed the ground
I was half the way down, treading the sand

please, please, lift a hand

I'm only a person whose armbands beat

on his hands, hang tall

won't you miss me?

Wouldn't you miss me at all?

The poppy birds way
