What's love?
Love is... What makes a weak man brave And a king step off his throne Good times, bad times Easy times, tough times It comes in an instant And lasts three days after forever That's what love is. - Mike - |

This is for you Rapunzel: All the love that history knows, is said to be in every rose. Yet all that could be found in two, is less than what I feel for you. Ohhhhhhh, that is so very touching & beautiful thank you so much Lee, I am honored & so happy I have some thing for you too, a very lovely song by Van Morrison... "Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" I looked for a video or you tube of the song... cause it is very beautiful, but i couldn't find it... soooo..someone, anyone ... please let me know if you find a copy of this song by Van the Man on video I do have it on CD in my home collection, its on a CD called " the Healing Game... but i can't find a video of it done by van the man morrison...., " The coolness of the riverbank, and the whispering of the reeds Daybreak is not so very far away Enchanted and spellbound, in the silence they lingered And rowed the boat as the light grew steadily strong And the birds were silent, as they listened for the heavenly music And the river played the song The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn The song dream happened and the cloven hoofed piper Played in that holy ground where they felt the awe and wonder And they all were unafraid of the great God pan And the wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn When the vision vanished they heard a choir of birds singing In the heavenly silence And they stood upon the lawn and listened to the silence Of the wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn Its the wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn |

When The Ship Comes In
By Bob Dylan Oh the time will come up When the winds will stop And the breeze will cease to be a'breathin' Like the stillness in the wind Before the hurricane begins The hour when the ship comes in And the sea will split And the ship will hit And the shoreline sands will be a'shakin' And the tide will sound And the waves will pound And the morning will be breakin' Oh the fishes will laugh As they swim out of the path And the seagulls will be a'smilin' And the rocks on the sand Will proudly stand The hour that the ship comes in And the words that are used For to get the ship confused Will not be understood as they're spoken For the chains of the sea Will have busted in the night And be buried at the bottom of the ocean A song will lift, As the mainsail shifts And the boat drifts out to the shoreline And the sun will respect Every face on the deck The hour that the ship comes in And the sands will roll Out a carpet of gold For your weary toes to be a'touchin' And the ship's wise men Will remind you once again That the whole wide world is watchin' Oh the foe will rise With the sleep still in their eyes And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin' And they'll pinch themselves and squeal And they'll know that it's for real The hour when the ship comes in And they'll raise their hands Sayin' "We'll meet all your demands" And we'll shout from the bow "Your days are numbered" And like the pharoah's triumph They'll be drowned in the tide Like Goliath they'll be conquered i can't find the utube or video of the version of Arlo Guthrie playing "when the ship comes in" , which i love very much although he has so many good songs ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSIy0wq_-8A |

This song is so beautiful & so sad... Dedicated to a good Friend & Brother Who recently made it home from the War... for a while, & then he'll be going back my prayers & blessings upon you my love & respect eternally and forever to you Brigade http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDAl7lGGtSo&NR=1 Halfway around the world tonight In a strange and foreign land A soldier packs his memories As he leaves Afghanistan And back home they don't know too much There's just no way to tell I guess you had to be there For to know that war was hell Chorus: And there won't be any victory parades For those that's coming back They'll fly them in at midnight And unload the body sacks And the living will be walking down A long and lonely road Because nobody seems to care these days When a soldier makes it home They'll say it wasn't easy Just another job well done As the government in Kabul falls To the sounds of rebel guns And the faces of the comrades Being blown out of the sky Leaves you bitter with the feeling That they didn't have to die Chorus Halfway around the world tonight In a strange and foreign land A soldier unpacks memories That he saved from Vietnam Back home they didn't know too much There was just no way to tell I guess you had to be there For to know that war was hell And there wasn't any big parades For those that made it back They flew them in at midnight And unloaded all the sacks And the living were left walking down A long and lonely road Because nobody seemed to care back then When a soldier made it home The night is coming quickly And the stars are on their way As I stare into the evening Looking for the words to say That I saw the lonely soldier Just a boy that's far from home And I saw that I was just like him While upon this earth I roam And there may not be any big parades If I ever make it back As I come home under cover Through a world that can't keep track Of the heroes who have fallen Let alone the ones who won't Which is why nobody seems to care When a soldier makes it home |

http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/arlo_guthrie/chilling_of_the_evening.html Chilling Of The Evening lyrics Words and music by Arlo Guthrie Warm me from the wind and take my hand A song is sounding, softly singing My song is cast upon the rainbow waves Forever splashing in the sunlight Prove to me there's a love still left In all of this emptiness around me Take me from the chilling of the evening Though you know my love that I must go A-following the winds that blow inside me I've nowhere left to run or hide Except if you will come and run beside me And even if you do there'll be a lot for us to do To keep believing Take me from the chilling of the evening And now my time has come down many streets I'm coming from a night decaying The song that itself sings is all alone I cannot even hear it playing Now to leave before I understand Just what it is I know I'm leaving Take me from the chilling of the evening |
