Lyrics etc 3
P - Z
This page
contines about 24 pieces that I have written,
most of them being lyrics for songs.
Words about love, depression, lonelyness, other things, and a few
just for fun
I want passion
When you touch me darling
I want to feel desire slowly start to burn
I want passion
When you kiss me darling
I want to feel my inside flutter as they turn
And when I’m laying down beside you. In
the warmness
I want to feel, that I won’t come to harm
I want passion
Whne you hold me darling
I want to feel a quiver running down my arm
And when I’m laying down beside you. In
the warmness
I want to feel, that I won’t come to harm
I want passion
When you love me darling
And when you say that I’m the one you really love
I want passion
I want passion

Please don’t cry
coz you don’t look beautiful with tears in your eyes
Please don’t cry
even thought it’s hard to say goodbye
Keep your chin up in the air
You see the end of the road you’re nearly there
Don’t coward in a corner come out and fight
Fight for your friends and fight for your life
There ain’t nothing between here and
there
And if you need me at all you’ll know I’ll always be
near
If you feel you can’t go on
I’m right behind you to help you along
And if you don’t want me around
I’ll keep out of your way and stay underground
Please don’t cry
coz you know I can’t swin
And you know in the end
you either going to lose or you got to win
There ain’t nothing between here and
there
and if you need me at all you know I’ll always be near

Riding in this lift for pay
I see you most everyday
And all the time I thougth you never knew
Guess I gave myself away
But never with the words I say
You always seem to know my point of view
You must be psychic
Always know the questions
You must be psychic
Know what’s on my mind
Honey I like it
You must be, You must be psychic
We’ve been engaged for so long now
And I’d like to make a vow
But then I lose my nerve and turn to clay/but I don’t ask
‘cause I just turn to clay
Could not believe in e.s.p
Till you said ‘will you marry me’
When all along that’s what I meant to say
You must be psychic
Always know the questions
You must be psychic
Know what’s on my mind
Honey I like it
You must be, You must be psychic

Pushing back the boundaries
Gotta get up from my knees
To long that I’ve been living life this way
Don’t tell me what I should be
Gotta live my life for me
Anything is possible
‘cause now I’m living for each day
Now I know nothig can stop me
No-one in this world can hold me back
I don’t know
Quite where I’m going
Buy when I walk away I won’t look back
Pushing back the boundaries
Now I’ve finely found the key
Been seaching for a needle in the hay
Think it feel it make it real
Living life to love and feel
Anything is possible
‘cause now I’m living for each day
Now I know nothig can stop me
No-one in this world can hold me back
I don’t know
Quite where I’m going
Buy when I walk away I won’t look back

Raining again well let it rain
To drown all my sorrows wash away my pain
Raining again well let it rain
Baby since you gone I don’t feel the same
They say a man should’t cry
Well I gues I better dry my eyes
I’t not that I feel ashamed
But I think I’ll do my crying in the rain
Raining again well let it rain
To drown all my sorrows wash away my pain
Raining again well let it rain
Baby since you gone I don’t feel the same
My old friends when they see me around
They try and chhr me uo they know I’m feeling down
It’s not that I’m missing you,
but baby since you’ve gone I just don’t know what to do
In the rain crying
Baby since you gone you know
Feel like I’m dieing
I could say I didn’t miss you so
You know I’ll be lieing
Without you I’ll just go insane
In the rain crying
Crying in the rain
Raining again well let it rain
To drown all my sorrows wash away my pain
Raining again well let it rain
Baby since you gone I don’t feel the same

River flowing to the sea
Take me by the hand and cover me
River flowing to the sea
You know the bottom of the oceans where I want to be
Can’t swin but you know I love to drown
I feel so lonely, I feel so down
I can’t swin but I really love to drown
Rumors ‘bout me flying all around the town
River flowing to the sea
Take me by the hand and cover me
River flowing to the sea
You know the bottom of the oceans where I want to be
The days are short and the nights seem so
long
I don’t know how to carry on
The days seem so short and the nighs so very long
Emteyness since you’ve been gone
River flowing to the sea
Take me by the hand and cover me
River flowing to the sea
You know the bottom of the oceans where I want to be

Searching Eyes
Searching eyes for some one new
Scaleing hearts for some one true
Knowing love will come again
Don’t know where and babe I don’r know when
Going shopping just to find
Some blue eyed babe to blow my mind
But all I get is a bag of beans
and a large size pack of soap for my washing machine

Seeing your face in a fadeing photograph
Makes me want to laugh
Reminded of you by the girl who just walked by
Makes me want to cry, makes me want to cry
Laughing, crying in the pouring rain
Can’t you feel the pain?
Hearing your voice as a whisper in the night
Somehow things turn out right
They never turn out right
I can’t pretend that we’ve never never met
Somethings you can’t forget, somethuings you can’t
forget
Laughing, crying in the pouring rain
To me it’s all the same
Don’t want to think about you
It only makes me blue
‘cause since you’ve gone there’s no happiness
And my dreams don’t stand a chance of coming true.

Oh, Saw it on the evening news
Woman who had been accused
Of killing her man
He had battered her for several years
But no one really seemed to care
What could she do?
Self defence, no offence
Self defence, no offence
Oh, they sentenced her to life in jail
For fighting back against a male
It don’t seem right to me
Then black sisters got up and campaigned
Saying he messed up her brain
And she had no choice
Self defence, no offence
Self defence, no offence
So, after serving three long years
And a marriage lived in fear
Her case was retrialed
He’d provoced her over many years
Said the judge and it was clear
That she should walk free
Self defence, no offence
Self defence, no offence

I don’t need you anymore
In spite of what you’re thinking
I’ll just stay up all night long
And I’ll take to drinkung
And I’ll take to crying all night long
Since you’ve gone
Loneliness don’t bother me
Gives me time for thinking
Of the times we danced all night
Singing songs and drinking
Then I listen over to our songSince you’ve gone
Only you can fill this hole in my heart
Even when you’re far away you know we’ll never be apart
I don’t need you anymore
In spite of what you’re thinking
I’ll just stay up all night long
And I’ll take to drinkung
And I’ll take to crying all night long
Since you’ve gone

Sometimes I wonder
What makes me feel this way
Highin a bubble above this troubled world
Happiness washing over me and my girl
Sometimes I wonder
Why you chose me for you
Out of the darkness into your loving arms
Intoxicated by your warmth and your charms
What a wonderful way to die
What a wonderful wonderful world
Sometimes I wonder
How I survived so long
Out of the desert into your loving world
Happiness washing over me and my girl

Sun is always shining in the sky
All my worries just roll on by
That’s how it is when I’m in love
Birds singing all day long
And in my heart I have a song
That’s how it is when I’m in love
No bad news can bring me down
My head is in the clouds
And my feet are off the ground
Tomorrow is another day
Just hope this feeling stays
That’s how it is when I’m in love

When I was just a little girl, I love my
daddy so
Each day as he went off to work I cried
And he would say don’t worry girl. I’ll see you later
on
Each evening he’d bring home a pecan pie
Although those days are gone
In my heart they still live on
Time can’t take them away
Although those days are gone
In my mind they linger on
Seems like it was only yesterday
Sitting on the front porch, we would sing
our favourite songs
And daddy he would play that old banjo
Cripple creek, red river vally, sally Goodin to
When he was tired he’d sing them way down low
Although those days are gone
In my heart they still live on
Time can’t take them away
Although those days are gone
In my mind they linger on
Seems like it was only yesterday
And mama she was everything, that anyone
could be
I know it sounds like some old worn chiche
But when I’m feeling lonesome and I don’t know what to
do
I just pick up that old banjo and play
Although those days are gone
In my heart they still live on
Time can’t take them away
Although those days are gone
In my mind they linger on
Seems like it was only yesterday

Tonight (maybe he loves me)
Tonight, I’m going to dance with the
biy of my dreams
And if you saw him, you’ll know who I mean
If she could do it, do it tonight
Maybe things would turn our right
I won’t be the way that I’ve been
I’ll tell him everything
Everytyhing I’ve been dreaming of
And how I’n so much in love
If she could do it, do it tonight
Maybe things would turn our right
Maybe then I’ll find out that he loves
me
Then he’ll say that he can’t live wityhout me
Maybe then I’ll find out that he loves me

Tonight, the fever is burnin’ me up,
and I’m going to have to cool down
Alright, lets take off into the night
And break all the walls down
Burnin’ me up, cool me down
Feels like I’m burning down to the ground
Burnin’ me up, cool me down
Babe you’re all I need around
Somehow, te life that we live just now
Can only get better
But now the kicks that we takes when we’re down
We just can’t forget them
Oh it makes me angry, it makes me cry.
When I have to fight so hard for what’s rightfully mine
And all the heartache and all the pain
Just hope I don’t have to live this life again
Use to be a time when I felt real fine
Never thought twice at all
Life turned bad when I lost what I had
Now I feel like I’m taking a fall, a fall, a fall
Let’s go to a place that I know
where the music is playing loud all night
Who knows where the heratache begins
But for now I just feel alright

Traveling on the railroad
All the citys rushing by
Traveling on the railroad
Making faces at the passers by
I’m going to London
Where they say the streets are paved with gold
Down to the city
With the hope that I will never grow old
Traveling on the railroad
All the citys rushing by
Traveling on the railroad
Painting faces in the sky
They say there’s a line that you pass
thought
That divides the poor from the rich
That divides those who live in the slums
From those who work just for fun
Traveling on the railroad
All the citys rushing by
Traveling on the railroad
Making faces at the passers by
I’m going to London
Where they say the streets are paved with gold
Down to the city
With the hope that I will never grow old

What more can I say, when you walk away
What more can I do
Leaving me this way, why can’t you just stay
You know I love you
I remember when we use to kiss
I felt like I could fly
We danced together in crowded rooms
In days gone by
What more can I say, when you walk away
What more can I do
Leaving me this way, why can’t you just stay
You know I love you
It only seems like yesterday
That we first met
I said I love you till the day I die
In days gone by
In the pass when you said that love was for
fools
In the pass when you said that love was for fools
What more can I say, when you walk away
What more can I do
Leaving me this way, why can’t you just stay
You know I love you

Why Cry?
Why cry at all, life still goes on
Learn from the pasr
Next time round it just might last
Sure you’ve got troubles
Just don’t question why
So, you lose again
Pain in your heart
So, you cry
Why cry at all, sun feels so warm
Birds sing their tunes
When hope is gone there’s still the moon
Sure all your good times
Seem just like a lie
So, you lose again
Pain in you heart
So you cry
Why cry at all, life still goes on
Learn from the pasr
Next time round it just might last

I often think of I had never meet you
Where in this would would I be
I’ll never have, to ask, my friends, their point of view
They’ll all agree
I would be seaching, like a lose and
lonesome pup
I’d be like an empty cup
Without you love
I wouldn’t know the peace and joy that
I feel
When you walk into the room
My life would be, a tale, of pain, and, sorrows and
Just doom and gloom
I would wake up at midnight, just waiting
for the dawn
I’d be as helpless as a fawn
Without your love
I’d be as helpless as a fawn
Without your love

You know tears flow
Every time you go
Don’t you realise I love you
And I mis you so
Miss you, I miss you, you know I do
Every night and day
Miss you, I miss you, you know it’s true
When I say
That you know tears flow
Every time you go
Don’t you realise I love you
And I mis you so
Miss you, I miss you, you know I do
Do you miss me to?
Miss you, I miss you, you know it’s true
Don’t you know it’s true?

You make me blue
‘cause I love you
you don’t love me
So I’m as blue as can be
I cry all night
‘cause you don’t treat me right
I think it’s bad
You like making me sad
You won’t know that you love me till I
am gone
When I’m gone you’ll cry and cry all night
© 1987 Jacqueline Grant
You say you’re going to leave me
Oh baby please don’t tease me
It may not mean much to to
But don’t you know I’m crazy about you
Being in love can be so wonderful
If only it could last forever
Being in love can be so beautiful, but
It never, never lasts forever
Like a play and like a song it disappers and then it’s gone
You say you’re going to leave me
Oh baby please don’t tease me
It may not mean much to to
But don’t you know I’m crazy about you
Being in love can be an awful drag
Feel so good and then you oh feel so bad
But when it’s over you don’t think of the
Might be your first love but it sure won’t be your last
Like a play and like a song it disappers and
then it’s gone
Like a play and like a song it disappers and then it’s gone

You told me you were an angel
And you said that you were good
They told me that only good would come from loving you
But I found out later, that it wasn’t true
When I meet you, it was an ordinary day
A day I would’t really remember
If it wasn’t for you
Ya but I remember, ya I do, ya I do
Yes I devoted my time, to, all of you
But I found out to late that you wasn’t, wasn’t true
Now three years I’ve been tied to you
I try to escape but I just do not, do not know what to do
How can I get away
‘cause I see you in my mind, my mind everyday
You said you were an angel

You’re either going to fall in love
again or fall apart
It’s a waste of time trying to out manoevre the heart
I know a man who lives on his own
Been that way for fifteen years
Had a wife and children to
Now they’re gone he drowns in his own tears
You’re either going to fall in love
again or fall apart
It’s a waste of time trying to out manoevre the heart
Back in school when I was a kid
I knew a girl who looked real cool
She could easuly break anybodys heart
I didn’t think she was any kind of a fool
I saw her just the other day
a man and three kids by her side
Looked like she aged 60 years
Never thought she was the kind of girl to get tied
Don’t bothert listen to what they say
You’er going to break your heart anyway
Love I’ll get you by surprise
Get you singing love songs and waiting for the sun to rise
I must admit I’ve tried to give up love
But it just don’t work
All I’ve got to do is see a beautiful face
Her mister I’m back in the race
You’re either going to fall in love
again or fall apart
It’s a waste of time trying to out manoevre the heart
