Silly Wizard - If i was a blackbird

Tekst :

I am a young sailor, my story is sad,
Though once I was carefree and a brave sailor lad,
I courted a lassie by night and by day,
Oh but now she has left me,
And sailed far away.
Oh, if I was a blackbird could whistle and sing,
I d follow the vessel my true love sails in,
And in the top riggin I would there build my next,
And I d flutter my wings o er her lilly white breast.
Or if I was a scholar and could handle the pen
Once secret love letter to my true love I d send
And tell of my sorrow, my grief and my pain
Since she s gone and left me
In yon flowery glen.
I sailed o er the ocean, my fortune to seek
Though I missed her caress and her kiss on my cheek
I returned and I told her my love was still warm
but she turned away lightly
And great was her scorn.
I offered to take her to Donnybrook Fair
And to buy her fine ribbons to tie up her hair
I offered to marry and to stay by her side
But she says in the morning
She sails with the tide.
My parents, they chide me, oh they will not agree
Saying that me and my false love, married should never be
Oh let them deprive me, or let them do what they will
While there s breath in my body
She s the one I love still.

    Cry for me

    Close my eyes at night
    Who do I see
    Standing right in front of me
    Is it the one I try to forget
    From my heart all my tears they flow
    Never wanting to let you go
    But somehow I did
    You were...

    Jonas & Ezekial

    I left my anger in a river running highway five
    New Hampshire, Vermont border by
    College farms, hubcaps, falling rocks
    Voices in the woods and the mountaintops

    I used to search for reservations and native lands
    Before I realized everywhere I stand
    There...

    Every little step

    Every little step I take
    Every move I make
    Never going to be fake
    Don t you ever, ever underestimate
    The band that s rocking the beat that s great
    Oh yes everybody we are here rocking it straight
    Doing it grooving it, straight...

    Keeping warm in the night time

    Keeping warm in the nighttime
    Burning hopes and dreams and even impossible schemes
    Seem possible, anything s possible, every thing seems so clear
    When your blood is pumping, mind is scheming
    Eyes wide open but you re still dreaming
    Prancing prowling searching for yourself
