Little Boat Song
03:13
|
|||
|
Once I had a little boat, such a pretty little boat
just as the day was dawning
So I took my little oar and I pushed off from the shore
so very, very early in the morning
And every little wave would have its whitecap on
whitecap, nightcap, whitecap on
Yes, every little wave would have its whitecap on
So very, very early in the morning
In their cave so dark and deep, all the fishes were asleep
except where a ripple gave warning
Said the whiting to the pike, have you ever seen the like
so very, very early in the morning?
And every little wave would have its whitecap on
whitecap, nightcap, whitecap on
Yes, every little wave would have its whitecap on
So very, very early in the morning
Said the sturgeon to the eel, "Just imagine how I feel -
excuse me, dear, for yawning -
People ought to let us know when a-sailing they will go
so very, very early in the morning."
And every little wave would have its whitecap on
whitecap, nightcap, whitecap on
Yes, every little wave would have its whitecap on
So very, very early in the morning

Big Mystery
03:17
|

|
How did the moon jump up so high
to take her place in the sparkling sky?
Did all the stars get in their cars
and drive up a rainbow, singing along to the radio?
Someday let's figure it out, just you and me
Let's get to the bottom of this big mystery
Why do the clouds fill up with snow
and not with cotton balls or Cheerios?
What makes the sky blue like an eye,
not yellow like a daffodil sitting sunny on my windowsill?
Someday let's figure it out, just you and me
Let's get to the bottom of this big mystery
Someday let's figure it out, just you and me
Let's get to the bottom of this big mystery

Oh, baby bunny, we're so happy you came
Isn't it funny how we already knew your name?
Long ago we dreamed you, oh how lovely you'd be
Oh, how we need you in our little family
We'll always keep you, oh, safe and warm
Oh, baby bunny, we will always be your home!

Willful Bird
03:39
|

|
I have been weary, I have been sad
but I see that Blue Ridge rising up ahead
and from this far off, it looks crinkled and soft,
Like a quilt on a rumpled bed
I know, my love, I'll see you soon
when the mists rise from the road, it's glowing all around me
in the soft light of the moon
I'm going where I feel at ease
Oh this big flat world might bring me to my knees
But when I get there, I'll be all right
You'll wrap me up tight and rock me through the night
I have been traveling both far and near
I have been a-wand'ring oh these many years
but my heart's a willful bird, and though it's never said a word it flew to make its home right here
I'm going where my bird abides
Darling, I can't live without you by my side
When I get there, I'll be all right
I'll sleep inside the circle of your arms, and rest me from my flight
I'm going where my bird abides
Darling, I can't live without you by my side
When I get there, I'll be all right
I'll sleep inside the circle of your arms, and rest me from my flight

I Had a Golden Bucket
01:46
|
|||
|
I had a golden bucket, filled with stars that glow.
Then I ran to your arrival, and I kicked it with my toe!
They flew around like fireflies, covering creation:
The sky, the trees, the mossy Earth, in celestial celebration.
The smallest snail was gleaming, the mountains draped in lace;
But none these glittering wonders were as rich as your sweet face.
Now I keep my precious stars where I can hold them close and dear.
They live in the love I have for you, so they'll never disappear.

My Bean

My Bean, you're the finest thing I've seen
You make the stars shine down, you make the grass grow green
My Bean, when you sing
You make the skies turn blue, and I'm so in love with you
I want to walk this whole world with you
See the horizon in your eyes, and live like butterflies
Honeybee, the world is new when you're with me
You make me float upon the air, and love is all that I can see
I want to walk this whole world with you
See the horizon in your eyes, and live like butterflies

Cielito Lindo

De la sierra morena, Cielito Lindo, vienen bajando
Un par de ojitos negros, Cielito Lindo, de contrabando
Pájaro que abandona, Cielito Lindo, su primer nido
Si lo encuentra ocupado, Cielito Lindo, bien merecido
Ay, ay ay ay
Canta y no llores
Porqué cantando se allegran, Cielito Lindo, los corazones
Ese lunar que tienes, Cielito Lindo, junto a la boca
No se lo des a nadie, Cielito Lindo, que a mi me toca
Una flecha en el aire, Cielito Lindo, lanzó Cupido
Si lo tiró jugando, Cielito Lindo, a mi me ha herido
Ay, ay ay ay
Canta y no llores
Porqué cantando se allegran, Cielito Lindo, los corazones
Ay, ay ay ay
Canta y no llores
Porqué cantando se allegran, Cielito Lindo, los corazones

Avignon
03:21

|
We used to say nothing lasts forever, but now I've stayed with you a long long time
I still love you with the flame that washed my shame on the banks of that borderline
Oh, Avignon
Oh, Avignon
Every good thing can't be undone
Oh, Avignon
You may over-
You may under-
estimate me, I won't wonder
We are the rolling voice of thunder bringing down Babylon
Oh, Avignon
Oh, Avignon
Every good thing can't be undone
Oh, Avignon
I may regret what I never did, and I may feel shame for things I've done
But I'd never take back the love we found by the city of Avignon
Oh, Avignon
Oh, Avignon
Every good thing can't be undone
Oh, Avignon
Oh, Avignon
Oh, Avignon
Every good thing can't be undone
Oh, Avignon

Coffee Song

My love when you love me
you kiss me so sweetly
Your love comes to meet me
with poppies and posies
Your heart speaks all softly
to mine all inside me
Says my love, my only, stay by my side
My love when you kiss me
on my eyes, on my cheeks
Your breath warm, so sweetly
like coffee, like candy
You make it so easy
my love when you love me
Your heart speaks, all softly, stay by my side
My love when you love me
you kiss me so sweetly
Your love comes to meet me
with poppies and posies
Your heart speaks all softly
to mine all inside me
Says my love, my only, stay by my side

Well blow me away, I'm the mouth of the storm
When I get hypnotized on too much blues
Every sound that I make, and the trees start to shake
Like a hurricane that's humming down the dune
Under the waves she's hiding
To steal me away from that thunder and lightning
Down below, well I won't miss a thing
I'll be laughing at that old life I once knew
Under the waves she's hiding
To steal me away from that thunder and lightning
Now I play and I feast with the fish underneath
That rolling baby blanket of the blue
