(Bob Dylan). Crash on the levee, mama. Water's gonna overflow. Swamp's gonna rise. No boat's gonna row. You can train on down. To Williams Point. And you bust your feet.
(Sandy Denny). Love, oh, don't we know. How can the river flow. Without you. Warming like the sand. Upon the land. How can we doubt you?. Dark to me the night.
(Sandy Denny). This morning too didn't rise before noon. She's a lazy lady today. Always young and new with your eyes on the moon. You're a crazy lady like you said.
(Sandy Denny). The summertime's escaping. And the carnival's away. And the sunshine is awaiting. For another sunny day. Breakers whisper to the shells upon the shore.
(By Sandy Denny. U.F.O. Music, Inc. (C) 1972). . I can't believe that it's so cold. And there ain't been no snow.. The sound of music it comes to me. >From every place I go..
(Traditional). One evening fair, I took the air. Down by Blackwaterside. 'Twas in gazing all around me. That the Irish lad I spied. All through the first part of the night.
(Sandy Denny). Oh babe, you are the one I love. You are the one I'm thinking of. You know it's still a long, long way. But I'll be home at the end of the day.
(Sandy Denny). We search for everything. Keeping what we would win. Orchids or tiny flowers. Wooden huts or ivory towers. Centuries or hours. Dark are the winter days.
I saw you. You saw me. That's when I needed you. You needed me. I kissed you. You kissed me. And thought forever yeah. We'd always be. Well I like you.
You're sending messages transmitted in Morse Code. And I'm decoding as they beat right through your chest. Tell me again if I'm not mistaken. I'll tell you again but the words are changing.
And I hate what I've become. Childhood photographs are faded like the memories. Lost inside my head. Because I sold my soul for cheap. In exchange for empty promises.
These apathetic eyes. Dark just like the sky. the raindrops hit the window sill. so leave me here tonight. Leave me by myself. with all my imperfections.
This is what I wanted. A chance for a better life than this. A life that I can't get if I'm stuck here on dry land. And when we're on the open sea. I'll take my secrets write them down for you to see.
I'll hide my face in scenery. Set traps for you with imagery. And I'll leave you. Missing the meaning. . Every word has been a test to see whose listening.
A sailor at sea for years. With weathered skin, an untamed beard. Somewhere hidden within he had a secret, he couldn't swim. Suddenly pulled overboard 50 yards from shore.
She led me to the wasteland. Carpet floors turn to desert sand. A whisper crept up and stole my breath. Suddenly I stepped on a scorpion. . I felt the poisoned sting.
Reading back on the lines. Second guessing all my words. How do I apologize for ruining someone's life besides my own?. Regrets on the back of the boat.
I must admit when she comes. You'll be enticed by the surreal. The things she'll show you in that world. Will be the things that you can't erase. If you tried.
Pretend, pretend, pretend that I can't see you knocking down my door. As your silhouette paints the floor. Just like before. . Who am I to think that I could be the one to change this terrible arrangement?.
