Liam Clancy – Streets of London by Ralph McTell #musicaware

Streets of London – Liam Clancy

Lyrics

Have you seen the old man
In the closed down market
Kicking up the papers
With his worn out shoes?

In his eyes, you see no pride
Hand held loosely at his side
Yesterday’s paper
Telling yesterday’s news

So, how can you tell me you’re lonely
And say for you that the sun don’t shine?
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
Show you something to make you change your mind

Have you seen the old girl
Who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair
And her clothes in rags?

She’s no time for talking
She just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home
In two carrier bags

So, how can you tell me you’re lonely
And say for you that the sun don’t shine?
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
Show you something to make you change your mind

In the all night cafe
At a quarter past eleven
Same old man
Sitting there on his own

Looking at the world
Over the rim of his tea cup
Each tea lasts an hour
And he wanders home alone

So, how can you tell me you’re lonely?
Don’t say for you that the sun don’t shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
Show you something to make you change your mind

Have you seen the old man
Outside the seaman’s mission
Memory fading with
The medal ribbons that he wears?

In our winter city
The rain cries a little pity
For one more forgotten hero
And a world that doesn’t care

So, how can you tell me you’re lonely
And say for you that the sun don’t shine?
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I’ll show you something to make you change your mind

Lyrics

It’s you
It’s you
It’s you

You Know you make me feel better
And I knew
I Knew
I knew
When I was under the weather

Where did it all the time go?
Where did it all the time go?
It’s you
It’s you
It’s you

You Know you make me feel better
I remembered the time when we were small
Planting seeds, put it in ???quants??
I remembered the time when we were small
We did it all
But tell me Where did it all the time go?
Where did it all the time go?
It’s you
It’s you
It’s you
You Know you make me feel better

It’s you
It’s you
It’s you
You Know you make me feel better
And I knew
I Knew
I knew
When I was under the weather

Where did it all the time go?
Where did it all the time go?
It’s you
It’s you
It’s you
You Know you make me feel better
I remembered driving in that car
Our destiny was never far
I must have lost ten thousand times
But We There
But tell me Where did it all the time go?
Where did it all the time go?
It’s you
It’s you
It’s you
You Know you make me feel better

I could not wait until I grown
I could not wait until I grown
I could not wait until I grown
I could not wait until I grown

I could not wait until I knew
I could not wait until I knew
I could not wait until I knew
I could not wait until I knew

I would love to go but that car
Where Our destiny was never far
I would love to go but that car
But I can’t
And come to me today that made me
I wish those things away
Still It’s you
It’s you
It’s you
You Know you make me feel better
Whatever you do
Don’t wish your days away
Whatever you do
Take it easy today
Take it easy today

Robert Plant & Alison Krauss – Killing The Blues

Robert Plant & Alison Krauss – “Killing The Blues”

Rounder Records

Lyrics

Leaves were falling, just like embers
In colors red and gold, they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam in our eyes

Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud
Killing the blues

Now I’m guilty of something
I hope you never do because there is nothing
Sadder than losing yourself in love

Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud
Killing the blues

Now you ask me, just to leave you
To go out on my own
And get what I need to
You want me to find what I’ve already had

Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud
Killing the blues

Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud
Killing the blues

Buffy Sainte-Marie – I’m Gonna Be A Country Girl Again

Song by Buffy Sainte-Marie

The rain is falling lightly on the buildings and the cars
I’ve said goodbye to city friends, department stores and bars
The lights of town are at my back, my heart is full of stars
And I’m gonna be a country girl again

Oh yes, I’m gonna be a country girl again
With an old brown dog and a big front porch and rabbits in the pen
I tell you, all the lights on Broadway don’t amount to an acre green
And I’m gonna be a country girl again

I spent some time in study, oh, I’ve taken my degrees
And memorized my formula, my A’s and B’s and C’s
But what I know came long ago and not from such as these
And I’m gonna be a country girl again

Oh yes, I’m gonna be a country girl again
With an old brown dog and a big front porch and rabbits in the pen
I tell you, all the lights on Broadway don’t amount to an acre green
And I’m gonna be a country girl again

I’ve wandered in the hearts of men looking for the sign
But here I might learn happiness, I might learn peace of mind
The one who taught my lesson was the soft wind through the pines
I’m gonna be a country girl again

Oh yes, I’m gonna be a country girl again
With an old brown dog and a big front porch and rabbits in the pen
I tell you, all the lights on Broadway don’t amount to an acre green
And I’m gonna be a country girl again

Oh yes, I’m gonna be a country girl again
With an old brown dog and a big front porch and rabbits in the pen
I tell you, all the lights on Broadway don’t amount to an acre green
And I’m gonna be a country girl again

Nanci Griffith – Once In A Very Blue Moon

Once in a Very Blue Moon

Nanci Griffith

I found your letter in my mailbox today
You were just checkin’ if I was okay
And if I still miss you
Well you know what they say

Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
And I feel one comin’ on soon

No need to tell me you’d like to be friends
And help me get back on my feet again
And do I still miss you?
Well it’s just now and then

Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
And I feel one comin’ on soon

There’s a blue moon shinin’
When I’m reminded
Of all we’ve been through
Such a blue moon shinin’
Does it ever shine down on you?

Oh, ’cause you act like
It never even hurt you at all
And I’m the only one
Gettin’ up from a fall
Tell me you dont feel it
Oh can’t you recall

Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
And I feel one comin’ on soon
