(What A) Wonderful World Lyrics



(Albert, Adler, Cooke)

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be

Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule for
But I know that one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful world this would be

I don't claim to be an "A"-student
But I'm tryin' to be
Maybe by being an "A"-student, baby
I can win your love for me

I don't claim to be an "A"-student
But I'm tryin' to be
Maybe by being an "A"-student, baby
I can win your love for me

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about science books
Don't know much about the French I took
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be
What a wonderful world this would be
What a wonderful world this would be
What a wonderful world this would be

A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall Lyrics



(Dylan)

Oh where have you been, my blue eyed son?
Where have you been, my darling young one?
I´ve stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
Walked and I´ve crawled on six crooked highways
Stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
Been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
I´ve been ten thousand miles in mouth of a graveyard
And it´s a hard rain´s a-gonna fall
And what did you see, my blue eyed son?
What did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a new-born baby with wild wolves around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin´
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a bleedin´
A white ladder all covered with water
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
And it´s a hard rain´s a-gonna fall
And what did you hear, my blue eyed son?
What did you hear, my darling young one
I heard the sound of thunder that roared out a warning
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a blazin´
Heard ten thousand whisperin´ and nobody listenin´
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin´
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
And it´s a hard rain´s a-gonna fall
Oh who you did meet, my blue eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young child beside a dead pony
I met a white man who walked a black dog
I met a young woman whose body was burning
A young girl, she gave me a rainbow
I met one man who was wounded in love
Another man who was wounded with hatred
And it´s a hard rain´s a-gonna fall
Oh what'll you do now, my blue eyed son?
What'll you do now, my darling young one?
I'm goin´ back out ´fore the rain starts a-fallin´
Walk throught the depths of the deepest black forest
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
Where the executioners face is always well hidden
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
Where black is the colour, and none is the number
And I´ll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
And reflect it from the mountains so all souls can see it
Then I´ll stand in the ocean until I start sinking
But I´ll know my song well before I start singing
And it´s a hard rain´s a-gonna fall

A Wasted Land Lyrics


(Ferry)

When love´s gone
There´s no one
A waste land
A ghetto
When love´s gone
A tear on
A waste land
Your pillow

All Along The Watchtower


"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."

"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who feel that life 's but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour 's getting late."

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, and barefoot servants, too.
Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

All I Really Want To Do




I ain't lookin' to compete with you,
Beat or cheat or mistreat you,
Simplify you, classify you,
Deny, defy or crucify you.
All I really wanna do
Is, baby, be friends with you.

I ain't lookin' to fight with you,
Frighten you or tighten you,
Drag you down or drain you down,
Chain you down or bring you down.
All I really wanna do
Is, baby, be friends with you.

I don't want to fake you out,
Take or shake or forsake you out,
I ain't wanting you to feel like me,
See like me or be like me.


I ain't lookin' to block you up
Shock or knock or lock you up,
Analyze you, categorize you,
Finalize you or advertise you.
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you.

I don't want to meet your kin,
Make you spin or do you in,
Or select you or dissect you,
Or inspect you or reject you.
All I really wanna do
Is, baby, be friends with you

All Night Operator


(Ferry)

Can't you hear me talkin' to you
I'm callin' you one more time
All night operator
Dial me a better line
Can't you hear me talkin' to you
Do telephones make you cry?
I try to write letters
Only my pen runs dry
Though my words sound so confused
The feeling is running strong
Stick tight operator
Help me to pass it on
final connection
A bridge before the fall
Receiver unrestin'
I count on your call
Am I just a number to you
A handful of empty sighs
All night operator
Reader between the lies
With half the world dreamin'
I see through your eyes
A switchboard breathin'
A diary of crossed lines
Can't you hear me talkin' to you
I'm callin' you one more time
All night operator
Dial me better line
If you feel me driftin' away
Slippin' into my song
All night operator
All of a sudden - gone

All Tomorrow's Parties

(Reed)

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow´s parties
A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
To all tomorrow´s parties
And where will she go and what she gonna do
When midnight comes around
She turn once more to Sunday´s clown
And cry behind the door
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow´s parties
Linens and silks of last night's gowns
To all tomorrow´s parties
And what will she do with Thursday's rags
When Monday comes around?
She'll turn once more to Sunday´s clown
And cry behind the door
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow´s parties
For Thursday's child is Sunday´s clown
For whom none will go mourning
A blackened shroud a hand-me-down gown
Of rags and silks; a costume
Fit for one who sits and cries
For all tomorrow´s parties

Amazing Grace


(Newton)

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I´m found
Was blind but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fear relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
We're been there ten thousand years
Bright, shiny as the sun
We´re no less days to sing God´s praise
Then when we first begun

Another Time, Another Place


(Ferry)

I knew there'd be times like this
When I'd sit at home and reminisce
Oh how one's memory slips...

So I close my book
And sighing, take a second look
Sure enough - I'm quite alone

Still, there no sound
So I spin a disc around and around
And slide the needle in the groove...

Drive down any highway baby
But don't bid me adieu

Through a sea of twisting byways
I'll be trailing you

Eternity'll solve our problem
Take it as you may

And destiny will stand corrected
Should we connect some day

Another time to spend
Another place to go
Another love to share with you

Deep emotion springs from this life
Wells up inside

Quick, pick me up and pour me over
The clouds crying by

Another time to spend
Another place to go
Another love this time it's true

Any way you want me lover
Used to be your tune

I looked you up - you looked me over
My lucky strike won through

I was cut, dried and discarded
Just a rusty blade

But since I found my four leaf clover
I've seen the light again

All the tears
In the world
Seem to fall from you
At their
Rainbow's end
A halcyon day
Or two
How soon
We fool ourselves
How slow
We tread
Astral planes
Collide head on
And on and on we glide
As if forever...

Answer Me


(Winkler, Rauch, Sigman)

Answer me, my love
Just what sin I been guilty of?
Tell me how I came lose your love
Answer me, my love
You were mine yesterday
I believed that love was here to stay
Won´t you tell me where I´ve gone astray?
Answer me, my love
If you´re happier without me
I´ll try not to care
But if you still think about me
Listen my prayer
You must know I´ve been true
Won´t you say that we can start anew?
In my sorrow now I turn to you
Answer me, my love
