Joan Baez - A song for David

Tekst :


In my heart I will wait
by the stony gate
and the little one
in my arms will sleep.
Every rising of the moon
makes the years grow late
and the love in our hearts will keep.
There are friends I will make
and bonds I will break
as the seasons roll by
and we build our own sky.
In my heart I will wait
by the stony gate
and the little one
in my arms will sleep.

And the stars in your sky
are the stars in mine
and both prisoners
of this life are we.
Through the same troubled waters
we carry our time,
you and the convicts and me.
There s a good thing to know
on the outside or in,
to answer not where
but just who I am.
Because the stars in your sky
are the stars in mine
and both prisoners
of this life are we.

And the hills that you know
will remain for you
and the little willow green
will stand firm.
The flowers that we planted
through the seasons past
will all bloom
on the day you return.
To a baby at play
all a mother can say,
he ll return on the wind
to our hearts, and till then
I will sit and I ll wait
by the stony gate
and the little one
neath the trees will dance.

    Get it get it

    My heart it dances,
    Whenever I m with you
    Don t make advances
    I m scared of what you ll do.

    We go out,
    Have a laugh,
    Have a good time,
    You and I,
    We go on,
    Have a drink,...

    Reflections

    Through the hollow of my tears
    I see a dream thats lost
    From the hurt, ooh, that you have caused
    Through the mirror of my mind
    Time after time I see reflections of you and me

    Reflections of
    The way life used to be
    Reflections of
    The love you took from me

    Im all alone now, no love to...

    Already gone

    I thought that I knew you,
    Thought that you were true to.
    Why couldn t I have been right, right.
    While my spirit wasn t fighting,
    You where there in hiding,
    Didn t want to look in the light.


    While the words have escaped me,
    The love won t erase me.
    I just got so...so tired of asking...

    Games

    Christie said I m gonna fly,
    gonna break the way behind
    all I need is unsuspicious eyes
    demo tapes of different shapes,
    every evening trading games
    so let me be the one you love tonite
    I wanna come real, it has to be clear
    I ve payed up the bill...

    Away

    My lefe is faren in a lond
    Alas! why is he so?
    And I am so sore bound
    I may nat com her to
    He hath my hert in hold,
    Where-ever he ride or go,
    With trew love a thousandfold.


    My love has left for a faraway land
    Alas! - why would he do this?
    and here I am...
