Up Where We Belong lyrics

Up Where We Belong lyrics song presented by Buffy Sainte-Marie : Who knows what tomorrow brings In the world where few hearts survive All I know is the way I feel If it's real, I’ll keep it alive The road is long And there are mountains in our way But we climb a step everyday Love lift us up where we belong Where the eagles cry on a mountain high Love lift us up where we belong Far from the worlds we know Up where the clear winds blow Some hang on to used to be They live their lifes looking behind When all we have is here and now All our lives out there to find The road is long And there are mountains in our way But we climb a step everyday Love lift us up where we belong Where the eagles cry on a mountain high Love lift us up where we belong Far from the worlds we know Up where the clear winds blow Time goes by, no time to cry Life's you and I, alive, today Love lift us up where we belong Where the eagles cry on a mountain high Love lift us up where we belong Far from the wor...

The Priests Of The Golden Bull lyrics

The Priests Of The Golden Bull lyrics song presented by Buffy Sainte-Marie : Who brought the bomb wrapped up in business cards And stained with steak? Who hires a maid to wash his money? Who keeps politicians on the take? Who puts outspoken third-worlders in jail Just to shut them down? Oh the lies vary from place to place but the truth is still the same, Even in this town Money junkies all over the world Trample us on their way to the bank They run in every race Windego Third-worlders see it first: The dynamite, the dozers, the cancer and the acid rain The corporate caterpillars come into our backyards And turn the world to pocket change Reservations are the nuclear frontline; Uranium poisoning kills We're starving in a handful of gluttons We're drowning in their gravy spills Their tongues are silver forks There's a lack of wisdom, You can hear it on their breath Windego It's delicate confronting these priests of the golden bull They preach from the pulpit of the bott...

The Old Mans Lament lyrics

The Old Mans Lament lyrics song presented by Buffy Sainte-Marie : On a bright summer's evening I chanced to go roving Down by the clear river I rollicked along. I heard an old man making sad lamentation; He was rocking the cradle and the child not his own. Cho: Hi ho, hi ho, my laddie lie aisy For perhaps your own daddy might never be known. I'm sitting and sighing and rocking the cradle, And nursin' the baby that's none of my own. When first that I married your inconstant mother I thought myself lucky to be blessed with a wife. But for my misfortune, sure I was mistaken She's proved both a curse and a plague on my life. She goes out every night to a ball or a party And leaves me here rockin' he cradle alone. The innocent laddie he calls me his daddy But little he knows that he's none of my own. Now come all ye young men that's inclined to get married Take my advice and let the women alone. For by the Lord Harry, if ever you marry They'll leave you ...

The Circle Game lyrics

The Circle Game lyrics song presented by Buffy Sainte-Marie : Yesterday a child came out to wonder Caught a dragonfly inside a jar Fearful when the sky was full of thunder And tearful at the falling of a star Then the child moved ten times round the seasons Skated over ten clear frozen streams Words like, when you're older, must appease him And promises of someday make his dreams And the seasons they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on the carousel of time We can't return we can only look behind From where we came And go round and round and round In the circle game Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town And they tell him, Take your time, it won't be long now Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down And the seasons they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on the carousel of time We can't return we can only look behind From where we c...

The Big Ones Get Away lyrics

The Big Ones Get Away lyrics song presented by Buffy Sainte-Marie : Hey, Baby I just got back from town Where the bribes are paid Honey, they turned my offer down They say the deal's already made So now I gotta stand and watch While it all comes down And the buzzards and the hawks And the judges and the mob Circle round Now if I were the queen of all the world I would go in chains just to see you free Of the ropes that bind you And the role you play And the pride that hooks you While the big ones get away Love junkies wanna change the world: It quickly stays the same Money junkies hire all the smart ones Power junkies run the game One step at a time Polarity Hill If the bad guys don't get you, baby Then the good guys will With angels on the take And the gangsters in the yard Hey don't the wars come easy Hey don't the peace come hard Now if I had a way to reach the sky I'd grab that crescent moon Wield it like a knife Save you from the lies From the ropes that bind ...

Take My Hand For Awhile lyrics song presented by Buffy Sainte-Marie : Take my hand for a while Explain it to me once again Just for the sake of my broken heart Look into my eyes and maybe I will understand How love I counted on was never there You see, I thought that you might love me So you caught me it seems off balance with a heart So full of love and pretty dreams that two should share And so I know but please before you go Take my hand for a while Explain it to me once again Just for the sake of my broken heart

Smack Water Jack lyrics

Smack Water Jack lyrics song presented by Buffy Sainte-Marie : Smackwater Jack, he bought a shotgun 'Cause he was in the mood for a little confrontation He didn't think about the noose He just let it all hang loose He couldn't take no more abuse so he shot down the congregation You can't talk to a man with a shotgun in his hand With a shotgun in his hand Now Big Jim the chief stood for law and order He called for the men to surround the border And from his bulldog mouth As the pose headed south Came a cry, "we got the right to clean up the streets for our wives and our daughters" You can't talk to a man when he don't wanna understand And he don't wanna understand The account of the capture wasn't in the papers But you know they hung old Smack right then and there instead of later And the people were quite pleased That the outlaw had been seized And on the whole it was a very good year for the undertaker You can't talk to a man when he don...

Many A Mile I Have Gone lyrics

Many A Mile I Have Gone lyrics song presented by Buffy Sainte-Marie : I've damn near walked this world around Another city, another town Another friend to say goodbye Another time to sit and cry For it's many a mile I have spent on this road Many a mile I have gone Well there was one, he knew me best You know he gave my poor heart rest He was my world, my heart, my dear And now he's gone to God know where I seen your towns, they're all the same The only difference is in a name And the only home I ever knowed Was a suitcase and the open road So I'll fill my glass up to the brim And thru my glass, the world looks dim I know outside there's love somewhere Maybe my rambling will bring me there

If meat or drink thou ne'er gav'st nane The fire will burn thee to the bare bane. This ae night, this ae nighte Fire and sleet and candle lighte.

Lady Margaret lyrics

Lady Margaret lyrics song presented by Buffy Sainte-Marie : Sweet William rose one morning bright And dressed himself in blue "Come tell to me the long lost love Between Lady Margaret and you" "I know no harm of Lady Margaret," said he "And I hope she knows none of me But tomorrow morning before eight o'clock Lady Margaret my bride shall be" As Lady Margaret was in her chamber high A-combing up her hair She spied sweet William and his bride As they to the church drew near She threw down her ivory comb And tossed back her hair And from the room a fair lady came That was seen in there no more The day being gone and the night being come When most men were asleep Sweet William spied Lady Margaret's ghost A-standing at his bed feet "How do you like your bed?" she said "And how do you like your sheet? And how do you like the fair lady That lies in your arms asleep? " "Very well do I like my bed," said he "Very well do ...
