[yc]Plastic Bags in the Wind

nighthymns 发表于 2011-02-06 06:29:34

little gift for myself~


Plastic Bags in the Wind

Plastic bags in the air
What you see in the end
Windiest day of the year
Is turning up 'round the bend

What you think you don't get
What you get you forget
What you get is the rain
As it falls on the plain

Children laugh in the street
Laughters dance in the trees
As you rise to your feet
As you stand in the breeze
As you stand in the wind
Like the sand in the wind
Like the sand in the wind
And plastic bags in the wind.

[yc]let me be (real)

nighthymns 发表于 2011-02-01 03:57:35



just a new demo for the old year..

Let me be (real)

I need a help to get things going,
I need some strength to keep on growing
I need a health to cry these cheers
I need a toast to pass these years

Let it out, that's the way you feel
Let me shout, it's the way to heal
Let me out, I can take to heels,
Let it be, if it is real.

I want to say just what I say,
I want to mean just what I mean,
I want to know just what I know,
I want to be just what I've been;

Let it out, that's the way you feel
Let me shout, it's the way to heal
Let me out, I can take to heels,
Let it be, if it is real.

I need a hope to get improving,
I need some strength to keep on moving
Let me be, it's the way I feel,
Let it be, if it is real.
Let it be, if it is real.
Let it be, if it is real.

Butterfly Lullaby

Such a girl I've never seen,
Such a boy I've never been,
Forty years have now passed by,
They have gone like you and I

They have been like you and I,
I have been like none alive,
Save one up high in the sky,
I have been the other life.

I have been the butterfly,
I have been the leopard's eye,
I have been the dandelion,
Playing on the palm of lion.

You're a queen of butterflies,
You're a bird of paradise,
Flying on through night and day,
Flying by the milky way.

Twenty years and twenty more,
Look behind and look before,
Maybe we can understand,
Flying on, and never land

We're flying on the Neverland
We're flying on the Neverland
We're flying into Neverland.


[原创]I Should Know Better

I Should Know Better

It's a fool to come and not to go,
It's hard to be wise not to know,
You catch your prey and cast away,
Till I give way you've called it a day.

I don't think I prefer the night,
I dare not look into the light,
Since you don't care what I am saying,
I should have long forgotten praying.

M
aybe you were right when you said,
Maybe I was just plain brain dead,
Maybe the moon is only joking with the tide in my head.

I should know better,
I should know better


The Rain Is Over Now, My Baby Blue

The Rain Is Over Now, My Baby Blue

I never come to understand the rain;
I never seem to understand at all;
Or if I did, I might have lived again;
At any time of day the rain will fall.

I hear the spirit in insentient things;
It is a conversation quietly passed,
And washed away in cold-fresh showerings,
A little happiness that might not last.

These very stones, the silent mossy way,
The lonely field of gold in my mind's eye,
The life I want beyond the sky of gray,
Is falling from the stars to make me cry.

So once again, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye,
It is all over now, my Baby Blue.
Mother, your beaten son is gone to fly,
Is off to conquer Neverland, adieu.

Groundling

Groundling

The world is a woman;
  She's life and she's soul.
A woman is common,
  Not so is their whole.
The world is a womb,
I am the foundling.

The earth is a mother
  The sky is her son;
A worm is my brother
  Too much in the sun.
The earth is a tomb,
I am her groundling.

Lyric:

Charlotte


Free
Feer than the grass we're on the run
Waiting for the sun.
Free as can be,
Take a look behind goodbye we're gone,
We are going on.

Charlotte,
Hear the calling of the thunder,
You know it often makes me wonder,
The way we never ponder,
Charlotte,
There's never gonna be an answer,
You know the life that lies out yonder
You know it makes me wonder

So free
Freer than the traveller on his own,
Freer than the rolling stone.
Free as we can be
Take a look around we're not alone,
We're just not known.

Charlotte,
I think you're more than just a friend,
Your love that no one else could lend
Is heaven-sent.
Charlotte
Sometimes you're such a little pretender,
You know the way you look so tender
You know it makes me surrender

Charlotte,
There's never gonna be no reasons,
Like the turning of the seasons
Charlotte.

Alfred

The wolves are howling in the heath;
  The sword weeps in the sheath;
A wolf's among us in the house,
  Rise lords, leave off carouse.

Your oaths are sworn; the bugle's blown
  Thrice from the princely throne.
All hell breaks loose; and all is woe;
  But now to battle, go!

Fierce armours clang; and metals jar;
  The cries of war sound near and far;
The heroes' hatchets hack and hew,
  Harsh rhyme and horrid view.

The atheling charges at full speed,
  Mounted on his maskèd steed;
His spear, well-tempered Saxon steel,
  Deals wounds that never heal.

Three galleys bring disaster home,
  Shag-haired warriors wont to roam;
With dauntless will the pale-eyed Danes,
  Smile on the English plains.

The flame bites high; the blade drinks deep;
  Horses on corses heap;
The earth receives in her embrace
  The sons of Wodan's race.

The beggared king leans by the stove;
  His feverish fancies rove;
His brain grows thick with weariness,
  And dreams of victories.

Tomorrow early in the morn,
  Three times he'll blow the horn;
Five hundred gather at the door,
  To beat ten thousand more.

So on the foughten ground arise
  A storm and soulless cries;
'Midst hollowed rocks, and whirling sands,
  His kingly castle stands.

When You Let Your Hair Down

When you let your hair down,
Let the billows rise, let the tempest roll,
When the ship turns round,
The sea winds blow, from pole to pole.

When you let your hair down,
It's time to run, it's time to fly;
The time goes wrong
The ghost will haunt, and mothers cry

When you let your hair down, when you let it flow
We'll fall from heaven, to the ocean floor
To the other side, to the other shore
When you let it go,
To the West Indies, to the Bermudas,
To us

When you let your hair down,
I'll lay me down, right on the ground
So we will sleep, oh sleep
Sleep till tomorrow, sleep safe and sound.

When you let your hair down, when you let it flow,
We'll find an island, we'll find a door,
We'll build a house, on the other shore;
So let it go,
For the West Indies, for the Bermudas,
For us

When you let your hair down,
It is just all, and all I know,
'Cause when you do, 'cause when you did,
It touched me so.

估计是克莱普顿最简单的一首,San Francisco Bay Blues~临时买了个口琴吹。。。效果极其喜庆,不过本来就是一个欢乐的歌

San Francisco Bay Blues


I got the blues from my baby livin by the San Francisco Bay
The ocean liner not so far away
Didn't mean to treat her so bad she was the best girl I ever have had
Said goodbye, I can take a cry, wanna lay down and die

I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime
She won't come back, think I'm gonna lose my mind
Ever get back to stay it's gonna be another brand new day
Walkin with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay

Sittin down looking from my back door....wondering which way to go
Woman I'm so crazy bout....she don't love me no more
Think I'll catch me a freight train....cause I'm feeling blue
Ride all the way to the end of the line....thinkin only of you

Meanwhile living in the city....just about to go insane
Though I heard my baby call....the way she used to call my name
And if I ever get back to stay....its gonna be another brand new day
Walkin with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay     Hey Hey
Walkin with my baby down by the San Franci sco Bay
Walkin with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay

lou barlow这种感性,直击人心但不沉溺..贴下歌词

Think (Let Tomorrow Bee)

by Lou Barlow

Could I hold on, or should I hold on to you
Ask, I'll tell the truth; there's nothing I should hide
And if I move too slow, if you're bored I need to know
I'm weak to hide inside, to force what I don't feel

If all we have is a question, there's no hope to find a future
But something in me cries for you, it feels too real this time

I think I love you, though I don't know what love means
The girl of my dreams, or a friend that one day leaves
Could I trust this, when I lied to myself before
When I do it all again, to taste what I imagined we could be.

Look what I've become, this pressure that we feel
In a world of possibilities, this may not prove real
But could we give enough, back against the wall
Too close to breathe, but too far to fall.

All I ever wanted, was to feel you closer to me,
And it's sad to feel this resistance
What once before has felt so free

Let tomorrow be, I can't be so impatient
Pushin' every answer, when there isn't any question
Let me feel good now, and though this may have to end
I think I'm always with you, and honestly your friend
I think I love you.
