Lovers depend on moonlight
For a love affair
Babies depend on mothers
For their tender care
Flowers depend on sunshine
And the morning dew
Each thing depends on something
And I depend on you

I can be happy, I can be sad
I can be good or I can be bad
It all depends on you
I can be lonely out in a crowd
I can be humble, I can be proud
It all depends on you
I can save money, or spend it
Go right on living, or end it
You're to blame, Honey
For what I do
I know that I can be beggar
I can be King
I can be almost any old thing
It all depends on you

Isn't it sweet to know, Dear
You can help me on
Wouldn't it hurt to know, Dear
All my hopes were gone
Wouldn't it make you proud, Dear
If I made a name
But if I failed to win, dear
Would you want all the blame

I can be happy, I can be sad
I can be good or I can be bad
It all depends on you
I can be lonely out in a crowd
I can be humble, I can be proud
It all depends on you
I can save money, or spend it
Go right on living, or end it
You're to blame, honey
For what I do
I know that I can be beggar,
I can be King
I can be almost any old thing
It all depends on you
Yes, it all depends on you

The Wheel In The Sky Keeps On Turnin'

Winter is here again, oh Lord
Haven`t been home in a year or more
I hope she holds on a little longer

Sent a letter
On a long summer day
Made of silver, not of clay
ooh, I`ve been running
Down this dusty road

(CHORUS)
Ooh, the wheel in the sky
Keeps on turning
I don`t know where I`ll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps on turning

I`ve been trying to make it home
Got to make it before too long
I can`t take this very much longer, no

I`m stranded in the sleet and rain
Don`t think I`m ever
Gonna make it home again
The morning sun is rising
It`s kissing the day

(CHORUS)

Woah, oh, woah
My, my, my, my
For tomorrow

Oh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turning
Ooh, I don`t know where I`ll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps me yearning
Ooh, I don`t know, I don`t know

Oh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turning
Ooh, I don`t know where I`ll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps on turning
Ooh, I don`t know, I don`t know
I don`t know

Wheel in the sky keeps on turning
Don`t know where I`ll be tomorrow
Oh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turning
Wheel in the sky keeps on turning

 

 

Yeah, It's Country.

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill,
He sounds too blue to fly.
The midnight train is whining low,
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by.
The moon just went behind a cloud
To hide its face and cry.

Did you ever see a robin weep,
When leaves began to die?
That means he's lost the will to live,
I'm so lonesome I could cry.

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky.
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry.

Skye Boat Song

Skye Boat Song

Sir H. Boulton



Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing,
'Onward' the sailors cry!
Carry the lad that is born to be King,
Over the sea to Skye.

Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar,
Thunderclaps rend the air,
Baffled our foes stand on the shore,
Follow they will not dare.

Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing,
'Onward' the sailors cry!
Carry the lad that is born to be King,
Over the sea to Skye.

Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep,
Ocean's a royal bed;
Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep
Watch by your weary head.

Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing,
'Onward' the sailors cry!
Carry the lad that is born to be King,
Over the sea to Skye.

Many's the man fought on that day,
Well the claymore could wield,
When the night came, silently lay
Dead on Culloden's field.

Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing,
'Onward' the sailors cry!
Carry the lad that is born to be King,
Over the sea to Skye.

Burned are our homes, exile and death
Scatter the loyal men;
Yet, e'er the sword cool in the sheath,
Charlie will come again.

Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing,
'Onward' the sailors cry!
Carry the lad that is born to be King,
Over the sea to Skye.


Half of the tune is an old Gaelic sea-shanty noted down in 1879 by Miss A. MacLeod, who later became Lady Wilson. She herself added the other half of the tune. The usual words are those composed in 1884 by Sir Harold Boulton while the alternative version was composed by Robert Louis Stevenson. This song commemorates the escape of Bonnie Prince Charlie from Scotland when Flora Macdonald took him, disguised as her serving maid, from Uist to Skye in a small boat after the Battle of Culloden. Although there was supposed to have been a romance between the two it did not last. Four years after Bonnie Prince Charlie went into exile Flora married her clansman, Macdonald of Kingsburgh. Flora later emigrated to the Carolinas in what is now the USA but is now buried at Kilmuir on the north coast of Skye. She died at the age of sixty-eight, two years after Prince Charlie. Prince Charlie is buried near Rome where he was born.
I had a mumm about eating nickel, there are few who would remember. But maybe it's time. I'm sure there's a Saturday Night Special with my name on it. And if that's not open to me, I have a length of rope and places to attach the other end. If there's not an anchor for the floor, there's a doorknob on the other side of the room. There may not be time to change the course of the tides, but I wouldn't mind going out on a high note. If you care to stop by, tell me from your experience with me, what it was that was important to me? No holds barred now. Just out with it. I look forward to hearing from you all, but if not, I always liked flowers.

Night and Day

Writer(s): cole porter

Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you

Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
Its no matter darling where you are
I think of you

Day and night, night and day, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffics boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you

Day and night, night and day
Under the hide of me
Theres an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment wont be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you

Day and night, night and day

 

There's much more I wish I could say, but the technology seems to be against me today.


End of the World

Why does the sun go on shining? Why does the sea rush to shore? Don't they know it's the end of the world 'Cause you don't love me any more? Why do the birds go on singing? Why do the stars glow above? Don't they know it's the end of the world? It ended when I lost your love. I wake up in the morning and I wonder Why ev'rything's the same as it was. I can't understand, no I can't understand How life goes on the way it does Why does my heart go on beating? Why do these eyes of mine cry? Don't they know it's the end of the world? It ended when you said goodbye Don't they know it's the end of the world? It ended when you said goodbye.

Don't Know Why I Didn't Come

Norah "Just moi" Jones

I waited 'til I saw the sun I don't know why I didn't come I left you by the house of fun I don't know why I didn't come I don't know why I didn't come When I saw the break of day I wished that I could fly away Instead of kneeling in the sand Catching teardrops in my hand My heart is drenched in wine But you'll be on my mind Forever Out across the endless sea I would die in ecstasy But I'll be a bag of bones Driving down the road alone My heart is drenched in wine But you'll be on my mind Forever Something has to make you run I don't know why I didn't come I feel as empty as a drum I don't know why I didn't come I don't know why I didn't come
