looking out the door 
 I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
parading in a wake of sad relations 
  as their shoes fill up with water
and maybe I'm too young
yo keep good love from going wrong
but tonight you're on my mind so
 you'll never know
 
I'm broken down and hungry for your love 
with no way to feed it
where are you tonight? 
 child, you know how much I need it
too young to hold on 
and too old to just break free and run 
sometimes a man gets carried away,
when he feels like he should be having his fun
and much too blind to see the damage he's done
sometimes a man must awake to find that, really,
he has no-one...
 
so I'll wait for you... And I'll burn oh
will I ever see your sweet return,
 oh, will I ever learn?
lover, you should've come over
'cause it's not too late.
 
lonely is the room the bed is made
the open window lets the rain in
burning in the corner is the only one 
 who dreams he had you with him 
my body turns and yearns for a sleep
 that will never come
it's never over,
 my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
it's never over, all my riches for her smiles 
 when I slept so soft against her...
it's never over,
 all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
it's never over, she is the tear
 that hangs inside my soul forever
maybe I'm just too young to keep good love
from going wrong 
oh... lover you should've come over...
 'cause it's not too late...

I feel too young to hold on 

 I'm much too old to break free and run
 too deaf, dumb, and blind
  to see the damage I've done
 sweet lover, you should've come over
 oh, love I'm waiting [I waited] for you
 lover, you should've come over
 cause it's not too late

there is a child sleeping near his twin
the pictures go wild in a rush of wind
that dark angel he is shuffling in
watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled
 
the love you lost with her skin so fair
is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair
her green eyes blew goodbyes
with her head in her hands 
 and your kiss on the lips of another
dream brother with your tears scattered round the world.
 
don't be like the one who made me so old
don't be like the one who left behind his name
'cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
and nobody ever came...

don't be like the one who made me so old
don't be like the one who left behind his name
'cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
and nobody ever came...

don't be like the one who made me so old
don't be like the one who left behind his name
'cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
nobody ever came
nobody ever...

I feel afraid and I call your name
I love your voice and your dance insane
I hear your words and I know your pain
with your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of another
your eyes to the ground and the world spinning round forever
asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over

ah do you meet the one I love
and smell the one who loves you
dream brother, dream brother, dream, dream
 dream asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over

eternal life
(J. Buckley)

there's no time for hatred, only questions
what is love, where happiness, what is life, where is peace?
when will I find the strength to bring me release?
eternal life is now on my trail
got my red glitter coffin, man, just need one last nail
while all these ugly gentleman play out their foolish games
there's a flaming red horizon that screams our names
and as your fantasies are broken in two
did you really think this bloody road would
pave the way for you?
you better turn around and blow your kiss hello to life eternal, angel
racist everyman, what have you done?
man, you've made a killer of your unborn son...
crown my fear your king at the point of a gun
all I want to do is love everyone...
and as your fantasies are broken in two
did you really think this bloody road would
pave the way for you?
you better turn around and blow your kiss hello to life eternal, angel
there's no time for hatred, only questions
what is love, where happiness, what is life, where is peace?
when will I find the strength to bring me release?
wnd tell me where is the love in what your prophet has said?
man, it sounds to me just like a prison for the walking dead
and I've got a message for you and your twisted hell
you better turn around and blow your kiss goodbye to life eternal, angel...

I'm gonna kick 'em out

well I feel pretty good
and I guess that I could get crazy now, baby
'cause we all got in tune
when the dressing room got hazy now, baby

I know how you want it, child,
hot, sweet, and tight
the girls can't stand it
when you're doing it right
when they're up on the stand
and then they kick out the jams, yes
kick out the jams, I like to kick 'em out

yes I'm startin' to sweat
you know my shirt's all wet
what a feelin'
and the sound that abounds and
resounds and rebounds off the ceiling
you gotta have it, baby
you can't do without
when you get the feelin'
you've got the sounds above
put that mic in my hand
and let me kick out the jams
yes, kick out the jams, got to kick 'em out

so you got to get it up
and then can't get enough
that's what ....
'cause it gets in your brain
it drives you insane, makes you crazy
the ...... the faster you funk
if you wanna feed my rocket
till the morning comes
let me be who I am
and let me kick out the jams
yes kick out the jams
I done kick 'em out

I lost myself on a cool damp night
gave myself in that misty light
was hypnotized by a strange delight
under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
put my heart in its recipe
it makes me see what I want to see
 and be what I want to be
when I think more than I want to think
do things I never should do
I drink much more that I ought to drink
because I brings me back you...
 
lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love
listen to me... I cannot see clearly
isn't that she coming to me nearly here? 
lilac wine is sweet and heady where's my love?
lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love? 
listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear? 
lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love...

there's the moon asking to stay
long enough for the clouds to fly me away
well it's my time coming, I'm not afraid to die

my fading voice sings of love, but she cries to the clicking of time,
oh, time.  Wait in the fire...
and she weeps on my arm
walking to the bright lights in sorrow
oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow
oh my love...
and the rain is falling and I believe my time has come
it reminds me of the pain I might leave behind... Wait in the fire
and I feel them drown my name
so easy to know and forget with this kiss
I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow...

don't try to blow out the sun for me baby
I'm not hoping for what I know can't be
all that I ask is for a kiss each day
 and I'll give you love that will never go away

yes I will, yes I will, yes I will
this girl, I wouldn't ask you to lift up this great big world little baby
I know that you're not that kind of a girl

all that I ask
 is for a kiss or two
 and nothing in this world will be too good for you

nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody,
 nobody knows
how deep my love for you really goes

never mind now in your heart how much is owed...

cause girl I want you to know
I wouldn't ask you to hold back the dawn, madame George, baby
that's just a little too much to ask to anyone

all that I ask
 is for your loving ways
and I'll keep you happy
 for the rest of your natural born days

never mind now in your heart how much is owed...

I used to know a little square
so long ago, when I was small
all summer long it had a fair
wonderful fair with swings and all
I used to love my little fair
and at the close of everyday

I could be found, dancing around
a merry-go-round that used to play...

"ah, mon amour
 a toi toujours
 dans tes grands yeux
 rien que nous deux"

all summer long my little fair
made everyday like a holiday
night after night it used to play
and people came there from so far away
and everyone sang that little tune
all around town you heard it played

even Pepi from Napoli
he sang to Marie
this serenade...

"ah, mon amour
 a toi toujours
 dans tes grands yeux
 rien que nous deux"

all summer long my little fair
made everyday like a holiday
night after night it used to play
and people came there from so far away
and everyone sang that little tune
all around town you heard it played

this serenade...

"ah, mon amour
 a toi toujours
 dans tes grands yeux
 rien que nous deux"

I can't forget my little square
even though I'm so far away
I can't forget my little fair
maybe it's still there, still there today
I sometimes hear that little tune
 playing in a dream of long ago

and in my brain runs the refrain
that old French refrain I used to know...

"ah, mon amour
 a toi toujours
 dans tes grands yeux
 rien que nous deux"

I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord
but you don't really care for music, do you? 
well it goes like this:
the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
the baffled king composing hallelujah
 
hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah...
 
well your faith was strong but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrough ya
she tied you to her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
 
baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
but love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
 
there was a time when you let me know
what's really going on below
but now you never show that to me do ya
but remember when I moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath we drew was Hallelujah
 
well, maybe there's a God above
but all I've ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
it's not a cry that you hear at night
it's not somebody who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
 
hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah...

kashmir

(written by Page, Plant, Bonham, performed by Led Zeppelin)

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
And stars fill my dream
I'm a traveller of both time and space
To be where I have been...

it's been such a long time
 and I was just a child then
what will you say 
 when you see my face?
time feels like it's flown away
the days just pass and fade away
what will you say 
 when they take my place?

it's funny now
I just don't feel like a man
what will you say 
 when you see my face?
my face...

mother dear, the world's gone cold
no one cares about love anymore
what will you say 
 when you see my face?

father do you hear me?
do you know me?
do you even care?
what will you say 
 when they take my place? 

my heart can't take this anymore
what will you say
 when you see my face?
when you see my,
 see my face...

I can feel your time crawling
 to a slow end
I can feel my time crawling
 to a slow end...

mother dear, the world's gone cold
no one cares about love anymore
what will you say 
 when you see my face?

father do you hear me?
do you know me?
did you even care?
what will you say 
 when you take my place?

well it's so funny now
I just don't feel like I'm a man
what will you say
