I love Alison Krauss " When You Say Nothing At All " was the first song I heard from her. My favorite line is:


Old Mr. Webster could never define




What's being said between your heart and mine


The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.

When You Say Nothing At All (Alison Krauss)



It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart

Without saying a word you can light up the dark

Try as I may I could never explain

What I hear when you don't say a thing



The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me

The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall

You say it best when you say nothing at all



All day long I can hear people talking out loud

But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd

Old Mr. Webster could never define

What's being said between your heart and mine



The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me

The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall

You say it best when you say nothing at all



The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me

The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall

You say it best when you say nothing at all


Here are the lyrics to " When You Say Nothing At All "

Thanks for sharing. I was thinking about a song today and the line kept playing over & over in my head. I don't usually remember lines from songs, but this one stood out. Great stuff, thanks again. Marty

tim buckly - song to the siren



 

Long afloat on shipless oceans

I did all my best to smile

til your singing eyes and fingers

Drew me loving to your isle

And you sang

Sail to me

Sail to me

Let me enfold you

Here I am

Here I am

Waiting to hold you



Did I dream you dreamed about me?

Were you hare when I was fox?

Now my foolish boat is leaning

Broken lovelorn on your rocks,

For you sing, touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow:

O my heart, o my heart shies from the sorrow



I am puzzled as the newborn child

I am troubled at the tide:

Should I stand amid the breakers?

Should I lie with death my bride?

Hear me sing, swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you:

Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you

Any type of love, it will be shown

Like every single tree, reach for the sky

If you're going to fall, I'll let you know

That I will pick you up, like you for I

I felt this thing, I can't replace

Where everyone was working for this goal

where all the children left without a trace

Only to come back as pure as gold to recite this all


 


'the adventure' by angels & airwaves.

Come a little bit closer

Hear what I have to say

Just like children sleepin

We could dream this night away.



But theres a full moon risin

Lets go dancin in the light

We know where the musics playin

Lets go out and feel the night.



Because Im still in love with you

I want to see you dance again

Because Im still in love with you

On this harvest moon.



When we were strangers

I watched you from afar

When we were lovers

I loved you with all my heart.



But now its gettin late

And the moon is climbin high

I want to celebrate

See it shinin in your eye.



Because Im still in love with you

I want to see you dance again

Because Im still in love with you

On this harvest moon.


neil young - harvest moon - gets me every time

Ono of my favorites too. More for inventive use of orchestra than the words, but I still love "Every Man Needs A Maid", It was ahead of its time.........

I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off


I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow lived on


I wish I was the sentimental ornament you hang on


The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top


I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds


Or fifty million hands raised and open toward the sky


I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me


I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me


I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good


I wish I was the full moon shining off a Carmaro's hood


I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun


I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on


I wish I was the pedal break that you depended on


I wish I was the verb to trust and never let you down


I wish I was the rado song, the one that you couldn't turn up


Eddie Vedder, Pearl Jam


If the foot of the trees were not tied to the earth, they would be pursuing me.. For I have blossomed so much, I am the envy of the gardens. Rumi

Everything must change


Nothing stays the same


Everyone must change 


Nothing and no one goes unchanged


The young become the old


Mysteries do unfold


But thats the way of time


Nothing and no one goes unchanged


There are not many things in life


We can be sure of


Except rain falls from the clouds


Sun lights up the sky


And humming birds do fly.....Pebo Bryson (remake)

"Losing the star without a sky

Losing the reasons why

You're losing the calling that you've been faking

And i'm not kidding



It's damned if you don't and it's damned if you do

Be true 'cause they'll lock you up in a sad sad zoo

Oh hidy hidy hidy what cha tryin to prove

By hidy hidy hiding you're not worth a thing



Sew your fortunes on a string

And hold them up to light

Blue smoke will take

A very violent flight

And you will be changed

And everything

And you will be in a very sad sad zoo



I once was lost but now I'm found was blind

But now I see you

How selfish of you to believe in the meaning of all the bad dreaming



Metal heart you're not hiding

Metal heart you're not worth a thing



Metal heart you're not hiding

Metal heart you're not worth a thing..."

 


Metal Heart, by Cat Power. Damned beautiful song.

She said "i'll throw myself away,

They're just photos after all"

I can't make you hang around.

I can't wash you off my skin.

Outside the frame, is what we're leaving out

You won't remember anyway

I can go with the flow

I would say it doesn't matter (with the flow) matter anymore

I can go with the flow (I can go)

Do you believe it in your head?

It's so safe to play along

Little soldiers in a row

Falling in and out of love

Something sweet to throw away.

I want something good to die for

To make it beautiful to live.

I want a new mistake, lose is more than hesitate.

Do you believe it in your head?

I can go with the flow

I would say it doesn't matter (with the flow) matter anymore

I can go with the flow (I can go)

Do you believe it in your head?

The Dream Before


Hansel and Gretel are alive and well And they're living in Berlin She is a cocktail waitress He had a part in a Fassbinder film And they sit around at night now drinking schnapps and gin And she says: Hansel, you're really bringing me down And he says: Gretel, yu can really be a bitch He says: I've wated my life on our stupid legend When my one and only love was the wicked witch. She said: What is history? And he said: History is an angel being blown backwards into the future He said: History is a pile of debris And the angel wants to go back and fix things To repair the things that have been broken But there is a storm blowing from Paradise And the storm keeps blowing the angel backwards into the future And this storm, this storm is called Progress     Laurie Anderson

Jacob's Dream by Alison Krauss , based on a true story, a heartbreaker


In the spring of 1856 with the snow still on the ground

Two little boys were lost in the mountains above the town

The father went out hunting the boys had stayed behind

While Mother tended to her chores they wandered from her side



The two had gone to follow him and lost their way instead

By dusk the boys had not been found and fear had turned to dread

200 men had gathered there to comb the mountain side

The fires were built on the highest peak in hopes they'd see the light



Oh Mommy and Daddy why can't you hear our cries

The day is almost over, soon it will be night

We're so cold and hungry and our feet are tired and sore

We promise not to stray again from our cabin door



Now Jacob Diverd woke one night from a strange and erie dream

He saw a path between two hills near a dark and swollen stream

He told his wife he saw the boys huddled close beside a log

For two more nights the dream returned this vision sent from God



Oh Mommy and Daddy why can't you hear our cries

The day is almost over, soon it will be night

We're so cold and hungry and our feet are tired and sore

We promise not to stray again from our cabin door



A thousand men had searched in vain the west side of Pop's Creek

But Jacob's wife knew of this place and said to travel east

With a guide to take him there, Jacob came upon the scene

And found the boys cold and still beneath the old birch tree



Oh Mommy and Daddy, look past the tears you cry

We're both up in Heaven now, God is by our side

As you lay us down to rest in the presence of the Lord

Know that we will meet you here at Heaven's door



Oh Mommy and Daddy, look past the tears you cry

We're both up in Heaven now, God is by our side

And as you lay us down to rest in the presence of the Lord

Know that we will meet you here at Heaven's door

Secret Squirrel Lyrics




What an agent, what a squirrel

He's got the country in a whirl.

What's his name?

Shhh...Secret Squirrel.

He's got tricks, up his sleeve,

Most bad guys, won't believe.

A bullet proof coat, a cannon hat,

A machine gun cane with a rat tat tat tat.



Fights foreign spies

In his disquise,

Takes him many places,

He's a squirrel of many faces,

Who's that?

Who's that?

Who's that?

Shhh...Secret Squirrel.

Squirrel lyrics


[From the CD of Wise After The Event, also b-side of We're All As We Lie]

Out at night

I saw a squirrel lying in a ditch beneath a great elm tree

Grey and weak

His tiny eyes revealed the secret of this vigil strange and free

Hour after hour he pursued

Weaker and weaker you grew

Squirrel, friend

I see you lying and there's nothing I can do to bring you back

Grey and weak

Your tiny eyes don't understand the strangeness of this pain you feel

All through the night you will lie

Each moment death's hour draws nigh

Silently

Your hooded brothers lay you down to sleep forever into time

Peace, at last

Has come upon you as a Mother's fading whispers to her child

Hour after hour I pursued

Though you are gone I will still remember you



The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.

I've got a rabbit, it likes to hop

I've got a girl and she likes to shop

The other foot looks like it won't drop

I had an uncle and he got shot...


This ringing in my ears won't stop

I've got a red Japanese tea-pot

I've got a pen but I lost the top

I've got so many things you haven't got...

Very funny & cute. The Squirrel lyrics were for all my squirrel friends who have passed before me.
