Songs 4 and 12
Lyrics
I would like to sit down by you, I would like to listen to your dreams
I would like to close my eyes and listen to your dreams
I’d like to hold your hand in mine if you will one day let me
But if you feel you cannot I will understand
I would like to sit down by you
I would like to hear your violin
I would like to close my eyes and listen to your dreams
Mikans eaten one by one as the sun is crossing the room
I would like to close my eyes and listen to your dreams
You may think that you deceived me, that what I see it isn’t you, not really you
But all I want is to close my eyes and be with you
I know that one day you’ll be leaving
For Birmingham and other places where dreams are waiting
I know I can’t go,
The sun’s across the room now
I would like to close my eyes and listen to your dreams
A failed attempt at love gave birth to this song about salvaging a friendship.
Lyrics
A spider in a can of tea, it don’t taste too bad
And the salt I put in my yogurt by mistake it tasted sad
It’s a precious memory I won’t forget
You gave me fruit from off of your tree,
I gave you bread and a song
And even if that’s all there is, your smile it keeps me warm
It’s a precious memory I won’t forget
I don’t know where this road is going,
I only know where it’s been
I know I don’t know you well, but what I know is this
The song I sung of sun crossing the room brought to your eyes
Memories of days we never shared, but I don’t mind
It’s a precious memory I won’t forget
You said that wasn’t what you meant when I drew you running away from me
But all I want to remember is a girl who must be free
It’s a precious memory I won’t forget
