Dear God
(Partridge/Moulding/Gregory of XTC)
Dear God
Hope you got the letter, and
I pray you can make it better down here
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
And all the people that you made in your image
See them starving on their feet
'Cause they don't get enough to eat
From God, I can't believe in you
Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can't make opinions meet about God
I can't believe in you
Did you make disease and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
...And the devil too
Dear God
Don't know if you noticed, but
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look
And all the people that you made in your image
Still believing that junk is true
Well I know it ain't and so do you dear God
I can't believe in
I don't believe in
I won't believe in heaven and hell
No saints, no sinners no devil as well
No pearly gates no thorny crown
You're always letting us humans down
The wars you bring the babes you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
and it's the same the whole world 'round
The hurt I see helps to compound
that Father, Son and Holy Ghost
is just somebody's unholy hoax
and if you're up there you'd perceive
that my heart's here upon my sleeve
If there's one thing I don't believe in
it's you
Dear God
I Will Remember You
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Remember the good times that we had?
I let them slip away from us when things got bad
How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun
Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard
But I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to lose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Weep not for the memories
Gloomy Sunday
(Carter/Lewis/Soress)
Sunday is gloomy,
My hours are slumberless
Dear as the shadows
I live with are numberless
Little white flowers
Will never awaken you
Not where the black culture's
Sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thoughts
Of ever returning you
Wouldn't they be angry
If I thought of joining you?
Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy Sunday
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and I
Have decided to end it all
Soon there'll be candles
And prayers that I say I know
But let them not weep
Let them know
That I'm glad to go
For death is no dream
And in death I'm caressing you
With the last
Breath of my soul
I'll be blessing you
Gloomy Sunday
Dreaming I was only dreaming
I awake and I find
You asleep in the deep of my heart
Deep
Darling I hope
That my dream never haunted you
My heart is telling you
How much I wanted you
Gloomy Sunday
Full Of Grace
The winter here's cold, and bitter
it's chilled us to the bone
we haven't seen the sun for weeks
to long too far from home
I feel just like I'm sinking
and I claw for solid ground
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
oh darkness I feel like letting go
If all of the strength and all of the courage
come and lift me from this place
I know I could love you much better than this
full of grace
full of grace
my love
So it's better this way, I said
having seen this place before
where everything we said and did
hurts us all the more
its just that we stayed, too long
in the same old sickly skin
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
oh darkness I feel like letting go
If all of the strength
and all of the courage
come and lift me from this place
I know I could love you much better than this
full of grace
full of grace
my love
Song For a Winter's Night
(Gordon Lightfoot)
The lamp is burning low upon my table top
The snow is softly falling
The air is still within the silence of my room
I hear your voice softly calling
If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
On this winter night with you
The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
My glass is almost empty
I read again between the lines upon each page
The words of love you sent me
If I could know within my heart
That you were lonely too
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
On this winter night with you
The fire is dying, my lamp is growing dim
The shades of night are lifting
The morning light steals across my windowpane
Where webs of snow are drifting
If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
On this winter night with you
And to be once again with with you
To be once again with with you
Blue
(Joni Mitchell)
Blue, songs are like tattoos
You know I've been to sea before
Crown and anchor me
Or let me sail away
Blue, here is a song for you
Ink of a pin
Underneath the skin
An empty space to fill in
Well there're so many sinking now
You've got to keep thinking
You can make it thru these waves
Acid, booze, and ass
Needles, guns, and grass
Lots of laughs, lots of laughs
Well everybody's saying that hell's the hippest way to go
Well I don't think so
But I'm gonna take a look around it though
Blue, I love you.
Blue, here is a shell for you
Inside you'll hear a sigh
A foggy lullaby
There is your song from me.
As the End Draws Near
(Bothwell, Geyer, McLachlan)
Chorus:
Into the valleys
The shadow of death
Griefs silently across the darkened sea
This is it
We stand alone
We can see it all from here
The starless night across the mountain side
No one left to talk to
There's nothing left to say
Chorus
You and me
We stand alone
We can see it all from here
Stretched far and wide
The barren skies
Fighting a silence
From deep inside
Chorus
You and me
We stand alone
We can see it all from here
Stretched far and wide
The barren skies
Fighting a silence
From deep inside
Into the valleys
The shadow of death
Griefs silently it's in you and me
It's in you and me
