How often she has gazed from castle windows all
And watched the daylight passing within her captive wall
With no one to heed her call

The evening hour is fading within the dwindling sun
And in a lonely moment, those embers will be gone
And the last of all the young birds flown

Her days of precious freedom, forfeited long before
To live such fruitless years behind a guarded door
But those days will last no more
Tomorrow, at this hour, she will be far away
Much farther than these islands, for the lonely Fotheringay

. . .


If she knew what I see while I'm watching
Would she know where to smile, what to say
When she leaves from her book to be with me
Where's her mind as she stands while I play

She left behind names in the pages
And the time she took out they stayed here
Now she thinks that she maybe should tell them
Of my book and the places she's been

Now she's looking at me while I'm writing
Does she know where to smile, what to say
When she leaves from her book to be with me
What's she thinking about while I play

. . .

The Lord Is In This Place... How Dreadful Is This Place

Hey come and make it easy
Hey come and make it back
It's no use to be free
If lies are all the truth they see
They'll screw up what you do
When you're through

Hey come and make it easy
Hey come and make it back
If you need a friend
And you need a way to lose the end
You know a place for you
When you're through

Hey come and make it easy
Hey come and make it back
It's no use to be free
If lies are all the truth they see
They'll screw up what you do
When you're through

. . .


Dylan

You may search at any cost
But how long can you search for what's not lost ?
Everybody will help you
Some people are very kind
But if I can save you any time.

Come on, give it to me
I'll keep it with mine.

I can't help it, if you might think I'm odd
If I say I'm loving you, not for what you are but for what you're not
Everybody will help you
Discover what you set out to find
But if I can save you any time.

Come on, give it to me
I'll keep it with mine.

The train leaves at half past ten
But I'll be back tomorrow at the same time again
The conductor, he's weary
He's still stuck on the line
But if I can save you any time.

Come on, give it to me
I'll keep it with mine.

Eastern Rain

In Nottamun Town, not a soul would look up
Not a soul would look up
Not a soul would look down
Not a soul would look up
Not a soul would look down
To show me the way to fair Nottamun Town

When the king and the queen and a company more
Were a-walking behind
And riding before
Come a stark naked drummer
A-beating the drum
With his hands on his bosom come marching along

Sat down on a hard, hard cold frozen stone
Ten thousand stood around me
Yet I was alone
Took my hat in my hands
For to keep my head warm
Ten thousand got drownded that never was born

In Nottamun Town, not a soul would look up
Not a soul would look up
Not a soul would look down
Not a soul would look up
Not a soul would look down
To show me the way to fair Nottamun Town

(instrumental)

Thompson

Take the sun from my heart
Let me learn to despise
I'll show you another who cannot tell lies.

The blind man can't see
Who demands to his eyes
I'll show you another who sings as he cries.

I cannot be whole
As the beggar who sighs
I'll show you another who knows as he dies.

. . .


My young love said to me
My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kind
Then she stepped away from me
And this she did say
"It will not be long love,
till our wedding day".
She stepped away from me
and she moved through the fair
and fondly I watched her
Moved here and move there
Then she made her way homeward
with one star awake
As the swan in the evening
moves over the lake

I dreamt it last night
That my dead love came in
So softly she moved
That her feet made no din
Then she came close beside me
And this she did say
"It will not be long love,
till our wedding day".

. . .


We used to say "There'd come the day we'd all be making songs
Or finding better words" These ideas never lasted long

The way is up along the road, the air is growing thin
Too many friends who tried, blown off this mountain with the wind

Meet on the ledge, we're going to meet on the ledge
When my time is up, I'm going to see all my friends
Meet on the ledge, we're going to meet on the ledge
If you really mean it, it all comes around again

Yet now I see, I'm all alone, but that's the only way to be
You'll have your chance again, then you can do the work for me

Meet on the ledge, we're going to meet on the ledge
When my time is up, I'm going to see all my friends
Meet on the ledge, we're going to meet on the ledge
If you really mean it, it all comes around again
Meet on the ledge, we're going to meet on the ledge
When my time is up, I'm going to see all my friends
Meet on the ledge, we're going to meet on the ledge
If you really mean it, it all comes around again

End of a Holiday

Come on now mister
Step right inside and see the show
You'll like it mister
It cures you if you're feeling low
We'll take care of you
Especially if you've got the dough

They'll move you mister
Just like a hurricane moves a tree
See here now mister
Just look at what they've done for me
You're gonna like it
They'll take you where you wanna be

Alright now mister
Come in and join the other guys
Just one thing mister
Don't try to touch the merchandise
Or get too friendly
You know that wouldn't be too wise

Come on now mister
Step right inside and see the show
You'll like it mister
It cures you if you're feeling low
We'll take care of you
Especially if you've got the dough

. . .


Morganfield

You're gonna need, you're gonna need my help, I say
You're gonna need, you're gonna need my help, I say
You know I won't have to worry, I'll have everything goin' my way.

You wake up in the morning, your face so full of frowns
Asked you : ‘What's wrong ?' - you say : ‘I'm sorry, I'm puttin' you down'.

You're gonna need, you're gonna need my help, I say
You know I won't have to worry ‘cause I'll have everything goin' my way.

Well, you leave home in the morning and you won't come back tonight
You won't give me no food, you still say you treat me right.

You're gonna need, you're gonna need my help, I say
You know I won't have to worry ‘cause I'll have everything goin' my way.

You're gonna need, you're gonna need my help, I say
You're gonna need, you're gonna need my help, I say
You know I won't have to worry ‘cause I'll have everything goin' my way.

Well, you wake up in the morning, your face so full of frowns
Asked you : ‘What's wrong ?' - you say : ‘I'm sorry, I'm puttin' you down'.

Well, you're gonna need, you're gonna need my help, I say
You know I won't have to worry ‘cause I'll have everything goin' my way.

Some sweet day, some sweet day
I'm gonna hold you like I want to
I'm gonna kiss you like I want to
I'm gonna love you like I need to
Some sweet day

Some sweet day, you will say
That you have started dreaming of me
That you love no-one else above me,
I'll find a way to make you love me,
Some sweet day

I hope it won't be long
Till I can take you and make you my very own
'Cause can't you see I get so tired
Of wishing and dreaming alone

Some sweet day, some sweet day
You'll get that twinkle in your eye, love
You're gonna look at me and sigh, love
And then you tell me that you're my love
Some sweet day

Some sweet day, some sweet day
You'll get that twinkle in your eye, love
You're gonna look at me and sigh, love
And then you tell me that you're my love
Some sweet day
