No Mermaid lyrics song presented by Joan Baez : We went down to the edge of the water You were afraid to go in You said, “There might be sharks out there in the ocean” And I said, “I'm only going for a swim” I was swimming around in a circle I wasn't always in view You said, “We might get into red flag danger And I am alone when I'm not with you” I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid And I am no fisherman's slave I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid I keep my head above the waves We were swinging from the center of the ceiling You were afraid to give in I said, “I know I'll always live for this feeling” You closed your eyes, you said, “Never again” We were dancing in the middle of the desert You said, “We'll burn under the hot sun” I said,“I'd rather be the color of pleasure Than watch like you from under the cover” I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid I am no fisherman's slave I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid I keep my head above the wav...

Miracles lyrics song presented by Joan Baez : (Words and Music by Joan Baez) Miracles keep happening The sun rose in the east today I sat up and sighed for the millionth time As the dawn was phasing a night away The blues can last for just so long And from the depth There will arise another song And I'll sit here in the sea and the sun Waiting for that other song to come That other song to come You don't have to be black to sing the blues From what I gather all you got to be is blue Self-indulgence is universal Adolescence was merely a rehearsal Look around you and you will see Everyone has a small franchise on misery On misery And I will sing you a song Just as soon as I get my voice When you're up, you're up And when you're down You really got no choice No rain this winter The manzanita reminded me We've been living in a drought And the ocean looks good to me Haven't been in love for a year or so Because I get fussy And hard to...

Love Song To A Stranger, Part Ii lyrics song presented by Joan Baez : (Words and Music by Joan Baez) They brought me a beautiful basket of fruit And two finger bowls of glass The couch is gold with a floral design And the wine is Germany's best And the wine is Germany's best My thoughts drift ino the frozen night Frankfurt is covered with snow And numbly they ride on an icy wind To places they're longing to go To places they're longing to go I remember the tall dark Irish rose Who held me in my limousine And slept with me under a burgundy quilt With sheets of silk in between Well, anyway, that's how it seemed I thought I wanted to marry him His face was sculpted by God His words were gentle and ever so true And soft as the Irish fog And lost in the Irish fog I remember the boy from the monastery Who wanted to be a monk But he brought flowers and wine to my room And we both got happily drunk And we both got perfectly drunk He laughed like...

Let Your Love Flow lyrics song presented by Joan Baez : There's a reason for the sunshine sky And there's a reason why I'm feeling so high Must be the season When that love light shines all around us So let that feeling grab you deep inside And send you reeling Where your love can't hide and then go stealing Through the moonless nights with your lover Just let your love flow like a mountain stream And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams And let your love show and you'll know what I mean It's the season And let your love fly like a bird on the wing And let your love bind you to all living things And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean That's the reason There's a reason for the warm sweet nights And there's a reason for the candle lights Must be the season When those love rites shine all around us So let that wonder take you into space And lay you under its loving embrace Just feel the thunder as ...

Lady Di And I lyrics song presented by Joan Baez : (Words and Music by Joan Baez) Wake me with kisses in the afternoon The butler knows any time you arrive is never too soon He knows just where you are by the sound of your car He'll be waiting there by the spiral stair You could drive me crazy with your unkempt hair You don't know what a comb is and frankly, I don't care 'Cause you're fast and you're wild and you make the butler smile By bringing me flowers like meteor showers Which reminds me of something that I've recently seen It was a look in the eye of Lady Di As she stood on the balcony knowing the last fantasy of the century was in her long white veil Maybe she would rather have you than the Prince of Wales And all the jewels and the crown and all the villages and towns that line the sea of the monarchy And while I cut the roses, what about Lady Di? She's a child of the 80's just like you and like I Think of all of...

Juan De La Cruz lyrics song presented by Joan Baez : (Words and Music by Joan Baez) Once again the workers rise with the lark There's a mass going on in the people's park Silent and determined they set to embark On a three day fast and a five mile march For a man's been shot on the picket line Sixty years of strength was young for dying His family is here with eyes of red His wife steps down with feet of lead And the sun shines down upon The old man whose days are done For a martyr has been taken He is old Juan de la Cruz And a century of women pray At the casket before them laid And the Virgin of Guadalupe Watches over de la Cruz As the heat poured down on the field below The lead came a-flying from the vineyard row De la Cruz and his wife never ducked or ran Union folks since the fight began People scattered out laying low to the ground And slowly arose as the dust died down Birds fluttered soft in his sweet wife's breast As the bullets sa...

Isaac & Abraham lyrics song presented by Joan Baez : (Written by Joan Baez, Wally Wilson, & Kenny Greenberg) Hard times, hard times in Canaan land Trouble in the mind of a man A voice came whispering softly to him Go offer, offer up the lamb Abraham took his only son High up on a hill His test of faith had finally come As the wind, the wind begin to chill Cold steel, cold steel in the father's hand Tears falling from the sky The angels, the angels did not understand Why the righteous, the righteous boy should die Then Abraham most mysteriously Laid down that deadly knife Said "My darlin' son, I wish I was the one Who spared you, spared your precious life" Oh Isaac The light of all your days Will shine upon this mountain high And never, never fade away And never fade away

In The Morning Light lyrics song presented by Joan Baez : (Words and Music by Joan Baez) Well there you stand A figure at my door And shadows fall On those that are no more And each time I love and take the fall Then like the sun I rise above it all In the morning light In the morning light Yes now's the time The time I shed my tears And now's the time The time I know my fears Now's the time The time I feel the years But come on in The wind is on your heels In the morning light In the morning light Let us now lay down the fight Let us now make all things right At the closing of the night In the morning light In the morning light In the morning light My room is small The curtains are of gold And down below The Paris streets are cold Here in my room I've loved a thousand times Well, seriously, I've sung a thousand rhymes In the morning light In the morning light Let us now lay down the fight Let us now make all things right Standing at the...

In My Time Of Need lyrics song presented by Joan Baez : Will you comfort me in my time of need? Can you take away the pain of a hurtful deed?

When the sky can't offer none to me I will come for you when my days are through And I'll let your smile just off and carry me 'Cause when the calm comes down I'll take the truck on into town And buy whatever we can't seem to grow I work these hands till they bleed 'Cause I got mouths to feed I got fifteen dollars hid above the stove Will you say to me a little rain's gonna come? When the sky can't offer none to me And I will come for you when my days are through I'll let your smile just off and carry me 'Cause it ain't like it was on back in those days When everyone would offer up their hand These old bones are worn, I...

Happy Birthday, Leonid Brezhnev lyrics song presented by Joan Baez : (Words and Music by Joan Baez) Happy birthday, Leonid Brezhnev What a lovely seventy-fifth We watched the party on TV You seemed to be taking things casually What a mighty heart must beat in your breast To hold forty-nine medals on your chest Think of all the gifts that you've got Some were acquired and some were not Like a natural talent for marionettes Who do your dirty work and cover your bets So with one hand waving free The other one crushed a budding democracy Congratulations, Jaruzelski What a wonderful job you have done Let me mention to a sane man's eye You've lost the meaning of compromise They're comparing you to General Pinochet It's a dubious compliment at best Your people are freezing, the workers are bleeding You've already arranged numerous deaths The only difference in the camps from the stadiums Is not much for the doomed all cry It's only the ...

Hand To Mouth lyrics song presented by Joan Baez : Jimmy got nothing, made himself a name With a gun that he polished for a rainy day A smile and a quote from a vigilante movie Our boy Jimmy just blew them all away He said it made him crazy Twenty five years living hand to mouth Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth Sweet little baby on a big white doorstep She needs her mother but her mother is dead Just another hooker that the lucky can forget Just another hooker, it happens everyday She loved her little baby But she couldn't bear to see her living hand to mouth Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth I believe in the gods of America I believe in the land of the free But no one told me That the gods believe in nothing So with empty hands I pray And from day to hopeless day They still don't see me Everybody talks about the new generation Jump on the wagon or they'll leave you behind But no one gave a thought to the rest of the nation ...
