Babes In The Wood

Every now and then you like to take it easy
Sit right back and view the situation
The future is brighter
Soon we'll be riding on the crest of a wave

Chorus

Goodbye to all your troubles
Change of heart the world will start today
It's a new beginning
See it shining like a brand new star

Well if you're thinkin' that you'll end up crying
Maybe all you need is to get away from friends
And the walls around you
Find a shore step into the sun

Chorus

I won't be a burden upon your shoulder
I will give you wings so you can fly
To lands where you're dreams surround you
Find a shore step into the sun

Chorus...

Faith won't heal up everthing
The wound grows and you believe in love
Walk around feeling cut in two,
Wide open, with your hear on view
All you bereaved, all you besotted boys in need,
When love won't heel you, wh, why believe she will?

O lyubvi malyu otchayanno
Say it on your knees

Oh, so sharp, and way too cool,
Love's bright and biggest fool
Has to work on speaking slow,
To think hard, and to lie low
Will you believe? all you bedazzled boys in need,
V krayu dalyokum, chuzhie ne nuzhny.

Chorus

O tyubvi malyum otchayanno
Say it on your knees,
Crying like a baby, "plese, please, please!"
Crying, hoping maybe,
O tyubvi malyum otchayanno
Say it on your knees,

Candle is a splendid thing:
The room glows, and the candle sings
"fly up to the only light,
"ev'ry, ev'ry tiny wing!"
The moth inside you bolts off to join the beautiful;
He flies and dies,
So quickly, quickly wise.

Chorus...

I skimmed across black water, without once submerging
Onto the banks of an urban morning
That hungers the first light, much much more
Than mountains ever do.
And she like a ghost beside me, goes down with the ease of a dolphin
And emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed
For she is the perfect creature, natural in every feature
And i am the geek with the alchemists' stone

Chorus

For all of you who must discover,
For all who seek to understand,
For having left the path of others
You find a very special hand

And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time
And it is the only way
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes
To ponder his death and his life eternally

Chorus

For all of you who must discover
For all who seek to understand,
For having left the path of others
You find a very special hand

And it is a holy thing
And it is the only way
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes
To ponder his death and his life eternally

One bright blue rose outlives all those
Two thousand years and still it goes
To ponder his death and his life eternally

Well i woke up today and found frost perched on the town
It hovered in a frozen sky and gobbled summer down
And when the sun turned straight and cold and shiverin'
Trees are standing in a naked row
I get the urge for going and i never seem to go

I had someone in the summer time with summer coloured skin
And not another one in town my darling's heart could win
And when the leaves fell tumbling down and bully winds did rub their faces
In the snow
He got the urge for goin and i had to let him go

Chorus

Well he got the urge for going
When the meadow grasses are turnin' brown
Summer time is a fallin' down
Winter's closing in

And the warriors of winter gave a cold triumphant shout
All that stays is dying and all that lives is getting out
You see the geese in chevron flight a flapping and a racing on before the snow
They've got the urge for going and they've got the wings to go

Chorus

I'll pile the fire with kindlin' and pull the blankets to my chin
I'll lock the vagrant winter out and bolt my wanderin' in
I'd like to call back summertime and let her stay for just another month or so
But she's got the urge for goin, and i'll have to let her go

Chorus...

You've got no reason to say you're all alone
There will be a change of season
That'll win a heart of stone

Chorus

Love is just around the corner
And standin' out of view
Love is just around the corner
For you

I can see a smile tomorrow
A reason to go on
The sky is always darkest
Before the new day dawns.

Chorus...

Don't ever stop believing
The sun is going to shine
It's worth giving and receiving
If you only give it time

Chorus...

Don't think you've found salvation or that the day is won
When you reach your destination
The journey's just begun

Chorus...

Lying here watching the time pass
I could think of a million things i'd rather do
Travel at my own pace
Put myself asleep if i wanted to

Chorus

Might as well be behind bars
Than be lashed to a wave that i can't haul
Might as well be a slave
Lying low in the shade of a prison wall

Lying here watching the time pass
I could cry for the helping hands that i refused
We were good friends but i did refuse

Chorus

Might as well be behind bars
Getting used to the sound of my keeper's call
I might as well be a slave
Drinking sun through a chink in a prison wall

Down here down where the end is
You absolve me from every crime i ever planned
I was so surprised i did not think that you would understand

Chorus

Might as well be behind bars
Growing old in a carpeted hall
O might as well be a slave
Ever safe out of the rain in prison walls

Might as well be behind bars
Getting used to the sound of my keeper's call
I might as well be a slave
Always safe out of the rain in prison walls.
