“High And Windy Mountain” Old man stop your meaning, Your world keeps spinning round, Wild bird gently homing, One day your old wings will touch the ground. Wide and windy river, Carry me down to the sea, Show me the place where she told me she’d be, Somebody wait’s for me, Somebody wait’s for me. Young girl stop your yearnin’, Your lonely life is just like mine, My own tears just keep returning, If she was with me, my smile would shine. High and windy mountain, You’ve got a right to be free, Show me the place where she told me she’d be, Somebody wait’s for me, Somebody wait’s for me. “Night” Night don’t like the night, Just too black, That don’t give sense, to my mind, But I’m right, To be wrong, My night’s too long, That don’t give sense to my mind, But I’m right. I don’t close an eye, Your face keeps going through my head, I’ll stay awake for every move you make, I don’t wanna go to bed, I don’t wanna go to bed, Please don’t make me go to bed. Night afraid of the stairs, Nobody cares, That don’t give sense to my mind, But I’m right. I don’t close an eye, Your face keeps going through my head, I’ll stay awake for every move you make, I don’t wanna go to bed, I don’t wanna go to bed, Please don’t make me go to bed. Night don’t like the night, Just too black, That don’t give sense, to my mind, But I’m right, To be wrong, My night’s too long, That don’t give sense to my mind, But I’m right. | “Victim” An echo that seemed to come from every direction, The echo of someone’s voice, Down filthy streets and cobblestones, The echo had no choice, In darkness I have never known, I raised my stick forth true, And like a blind man, tried to find! Each corner that I knew. Someone picked him he is the victim, No one can help me now, For who can mend a broken heart, When there’s no one else around, to show me how. Born and raised in the place I stood, I gave my mind to my feet, Then darkness fell on darkness, and yet more! I could not find that street, The coming of my panic, and the overcome of fear, Paralysed my senses, Would the echo find me here. Someone picked him he is the victim, No one can help me now, For who can mend a broken heart, When there’s no one else around, to show me how. “Piccaninny” Piccaninny it’s been a long, long day, Put down your head and sleep little child, Piccaninny you’re never alone girl, Visit your own world little child. Piccaninny why are your eyes so red, You heard what your daddy said, you need your sleep, We got a letter daddy’s so busy, He won’t be coming home this week. Piccaninny it’s much too far away, Daddy can’t drop by and kiss you ‘Goodnight’, He throws a kiss to you, just to remind you, You are daddy’s light. Piccaninny it’s been a long, long day, Put down your head and sleep little child, Piccaninny you’re never alone girl, Visit your own world little child. |
