Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.Remember me to one who lives there, she once was a true love of mine.Tell her to make me a cambric shirt (On the side of a hill in the deep forest green).Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground).Without no seams nor needlework (Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain).Then she'll be a true love of mine (Sleeps unaware of the clarion call).Tell her to find me an acre of land (On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves).Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Washes the grave with silvery tears).Between salt water and the sea strands (A soldier cleans and polishes a gun).Then she'll be a true love of mine.Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather (War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions).Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Generals order their soldiers to kill).And gather it all in a bunch of heather (And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten).Then she'll be a true love of mine.Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

Well, I've been afraid of changing 'Cause I've built my life around you But time makes you bolder Children get older I'm getting older too Well, I've been afraid of changing 'Cause I, I built my life around you But time makes you bolder Children get older I'm getting older too I'm getting older too So, take my love, take it down Oh climb a mountain and turn around If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills Well the landslide will bring you down, down And If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills Well maybe the landslide will bring it down Oh oh, the landslide will bring it downAsleepThe SmithsSing me to sleep Sing me to sleep I'm tired and I I want to go to bed Sing me to sleep Sing me to sleep And then leave me alone Don't try to wake me in the morning 'Cause I will be gone Don't feel bad for me I want you to know Deep in the cell of my heart I will feel so glad to go Sing me to sleep Sing me to sleep I don't want to wake up On my own anymore Sing to me Sing to me I don't want to wake up On my own anymore Don't feel bad for me I want you to know Deep in the cell of my heart I really want to go There is another world There is a better worldWell, there must be Well, there must beWell, there must beWell, there must beWell ... Bye bye Bye bye Bye ...GypsySuzanne VegaYou come from far awayWith pictures in your eyesOf coffeeshops and morning streetsIn the blue and silent sunriseBut night is the cathedralWhere we recognized the signWe strangers know each other nowAs part of the whole designOh, hold me like a babyThat will not fall asleepCurl me up inside youAnd let me hear you through the heatYou are the jester of this courtyardWith a smile like a girl'sDistracted by the womenWith the dimples and the curlsBy the pretty and the mischievousBy the timid and the blessedBy the blowing skirts of ladiesWho promise to gather you to their breastOh, hold me like a baby...You have hands of raining waterAnd that earring in your earThe wisdom on your faceDenies the number of your yearsWith the fingers of the potterAnd the laughing tale of the foolThe arranger of disorderWith your strange and simple rulesYes now I've met me another spinnerOf strange and gauzy threadsWith a long and slender bodyAnd a bump upon the headOh, hold me like a baby...With a long and slender bodyAnd the sweetest softest handsAnd we'll blow away forever soonAnd go on to different landsAnd please do not ever look for meBut with me you will stayAnd you will hear yourself in songBlowing by one dayOh, hold me like a baby...A Whiter Shade of PaleProcol HarumWe skipped the light fandango Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor I was feeling kinda seasick But the crowd called out for more The room was humming harder As the ceiling flew away When we called out for another drink And the waiter brought a tray And so it was that later As the miller told his tale That her face, at first just ghostly, Turned a whiter shade of paleShe said, "There is no reason And the truth is plain to see." But I wandered through my playing cards And they would not let her be One of sixteen vestal virgins Who were leaving for the coast And although my eyes were open wideThey might have just as well been closed And so it was that later As the miller told his tale That her face, at first just ghostly, Turned a whiter shade of paleShe said, "I'm here on a shore leave,"Though we were miles at sea.I pointed out this detailAnd forced her to agree, Saying, "You must be the mermaidWho took King Neptune for a ride."And she smiled at me so sweetlyThat my anger straightway died.And so it was that later As the miller told his tale That her face, at first just ghostly, Turned a whiter shade of paleIf music be the food of loveThen laughter is it's queenAnd likewise if behind is in frontThen dirt in truth is cleanMy mouth by then like cardboardSeemed to slip straight through my headSo we crash-dived straightway quicklyAnd attacked the ocean bed And so it was that later As the miller told his tale That her face, at first just ghostly, Turned a whiter shade of paleNights in White SatinMoody BluesNights in white satin, never reaching the end,Letters I've written, never meaning to send.Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before.Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.'Cos I love you, yes I love you, oh how I love you.Gazing at people, some hand in hand,Just what I'm going through they can't understand.Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend,Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.And I love you, yes I love you,Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,Letters I've written, never meaning to send.Beauty I've always missed, with these eyes before.Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.'Cos I love you, yes I love you,Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.'Cos I love you, yes I love you,Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.Breath deep The gathering gloomWatch lights fade From every roomBedsitter people Look back and lamentAnother day's useless Energy spentImpassioned loversWrestle as one Lonely man cries for loveAnd has noneNew mother picks up And suckles her sonSenior citizens Wish they were youngCold hearted orbThat rules the nightRemoves the coloursFrom our sightRed is gray and Yellow whiteBut we decideWhich is right And Which is an Illusion ................
