Waterboys - When Ye Go Away

Now he's brought down the rain
And the indian summer is through
in the morning you'll be following your trail again
Fair play to you

You'll be leaving, pretty darling, in the morning-time
If I know you
You ain't calling me to join you
And I'm spoken for anyway
but I will cry when ye go away
I will cry when ye go away

But you'll be killing my heart when ye go away
You'll be killing my heart when ye go away

your beauty is familiar
And your voice is like a key

Your beauty is a legend
And your voice is like a melody
that opens up my soul

That plays upon my soul
And torches up a fire inside of me
your coat is made of magic
And around your table angels play

Your shoes are made of magic
And your footstep is the break of day

I must have known you in another life
In another age
I will cry when ye go away
I will cry when ye go away

(river road reel)

Somebody left their whisky
And the night is very young
I've got much to say and more to tell
And the words will soon be spilling from my tongue
I will rave and I will ramble
I'll do everything but make you stay
Then I will cry when ye go away
I will cry when ye go away

(river road reel)

When ye go away...
When ye go away...

Wonderful Tonight

It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."

We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."

I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.

It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head,
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."

Eric Clapton

i am constantly amazed at how
many of my favourite songs you post.


must be a girl thing <g>

are you familiar with this one? [one of my most favorite]

A SONG FOR YOU

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darlin' can't you please see through me
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
We were alone and I was singing this song for you

written and performed by Leon Russel, the loose cannon - but the Willie Nelson version is by far the best [very difficult to sing]
