Maudlin, but oh so good.

Wow - major flashbacks of a long drive in a black sports car with someone I adored.

Should I fall out of love, my fire in the light
To chase a feather in the wind
Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight
There moves a thread that has no end
For many hours and days that pass ever soon
The tides have caused the flame to dim
At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom
Is this to end or just the beginning?

Beauty queen of only eighteen, she had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her, she always belonged to someone else

Misheard lyrics: I thought it was "she had some trouble with her cell ..."

I love this song but it was always too fast for slow dancing.



Stay with me
My love I hope you'll always be
Right here by my side if ever I need you
Oh my love
In your arms
I feel so safe and so secure
Everyday is such a perfect day to spend
Alone with you
In the dark
I see so very clearly now
All my fears are drifting by me so slowly now
Fading away
I can say the night is long but you are here
Close at hand
I'm better for the smile you give
And while I live
I will follow you will you follow me?
All the days and nights that we know will be
I will stay with you will you stay with me?
Just one single tear in each passing year

The sweetest song for best friends



It may be that I'd like to
But I won't fall in love with you
We won't spend the rest of our lives together
But anyway couldn't we go on a trip together?
We could go to the British Islands
And hike around the Scottish Highlands
The youth hostels they have there
would be perfect for us
Cause we're both youths
so they would really suit us
Well darling each morning when we woke up
We'd have biscuits and tea from a teacup
People might think that we were on our honeymoon
But we'd know better, even though we'd slept in the same room
We would live right out of our back packs
We'd send our parents lots of trinkets and knick-knacks
Through the post and across the sea
Back to our own country
After that we could go to Yugoslavia
Oh how I'd love to travel with ya
We don't have to be wife and husband
To take a trip across the ocean

After all the jacks are in their boxes
And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red
And the wind whispers, "Mary"

A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life
Somewhere, a queen is weeping
Somewhere, a king has no wife
And the wind, it cries, "Mary"

The traffic lights, they turn blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island sags downstream
'Cause the life that lived is dead
And the wind screams, "Mary!"

Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past?
And with this crutch, its old age and its wisdom
It whispers, "No, This will be the last"
And the wind cries, "Mary"

You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You're my saviour when I fall
And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
