Anticipation

Carly Simon Anticipation Lyrics
1.Anticipation

Lyrics:Carly Simon
Music:Carly Simon

We can never know about the days to come
But we think about them anyway
And I wonder if I'm really with you now
Or just chasing after some finer day.

Anticipation, Anticipation
Is making me late
Is keeping me waiting

And I tell you how easy it is to be with you
And how right your arms feel around me.
Bit I rehearsed those words just late last night
When I was thinking about how right tonight might be.

Anticipation, Anticipation
Is making me late
Is keeping me waiting

And tomorrow we might not be together
I'm no prophet, I don't know natures way
So I'll try to see into your eyes right now
And stay right here, 'cause these are the good old days.


2.Legend In Your Own Time

Lyrics:Carly Simon
Music:Carly Simon

Well I have know you
Since you were a small boy
And your mama used to say
My boy is gonna grow up and be
Some kind of leader some day.

Then you'd turn on the radio
And sing with the singer in the band
And your mama would say to you
This isn't exactly what she had planned.

But you're a legend in your own time
A hero in the footlights
Playin' tunes to fit your rhyme
But a legends only a lonely boy
When he goes home alone.

And although I know you
Still have the heart of that small boy
Well, you lend it out far too much
And no one woman loving you
Can ever tell if you've been really touched.

Then you turn on the radio
And sing with the singer in the band
And think kind of sadly to yourself
This isn't exactly what you had planned.

But you're a legend in your own time
A hero in the footlights
Playin' tunes to fit your rhyme
But a legends only a lonely boy
When he goes home alone.


3.Our First Day Together

Lyrics:Carly Simon
Music:Carly Simon

Our first day together
Was after we'd been close in dreams
Was after we'd shared hell and heaven
And all the places in-between
And all the places in-between

After we'd spent nights together
And breathed secrets without words
After we'd made promises
That could but might not have been heard
Might not have been heard

Knowing me the way you do
Then why did you just say
that our first day together
Was today?


4.The Girl You Think You See

Written:Carly Simon/Jacob Brackman

Tell me who you long for
In your secret dreams
Go on and tell me who you wish I was
Instead of me

I'm not necessarily
The girl you think you see
Whoever you want is exactly who
I'm more than willing to be
I'll be carefree
A Peace Corps trainee
your Gypsy Rose Lee
To please you

Who cares what I might be for real
Underneath my games
I'll let you chose from a thousand faces
And a thousand names

I'm not necessarily
the girl you think you see
Whoever you want is exactly who
I'm more than willing to be
I'll be insane
A mathematical brain
You Tarzan, me Jane
To please you

I'm not necessarily
The girl you think you see
Whoever you want is exactly who
I'm more than willing to be
I'll be a queen
A foul-mouthed marine
Your Mary Magdalene
to please you


5.Summer's Coming Around Again

Written:Carly Simon/Jim Ryan/Paul Glanz

Here now summer's coming around again
Every year it seems to come in this way
Before you know it you've fallen in love
But be sure it's love before you sail away

You see someone wearing a sunny face
You want to know him anyway that you can
Tell him you're just in from Shanghai
And his smile you just can't pass by

Follow him away
Follow him away

Sad to say he hasn't seen you come by this way
His sunny smile just reflects sunny days
Haven't you seen his face before
Every year it seems to come this way
Every year it seems to come this way


6.Share The End

Written:Carly Simon/Jacob Brackman

Here come the priests, each one wailing and bemoaning
Lordy, they got their heads bowed down
Here come the madmen, they're too excited for atoning:
'Burn the mosque,' they're shouting, 'Burn it down!'

Save me a place, surround me with friendly faces
All of us have gathered here to share the end -
To watch the world go up in flames

Please, Lord we're not ready
Give us a day
Give us an hour...

Here come the kings, Let's dispense with their apologizing
Just bring on the acrobats and clowns
Here comes the rumble, Hang on for universal dying
Please ignore the baying of the hounds

Save me a place, surround me with deadly faces
All of us have gathered here to share the end -
To watch the world go up in flames

Please, Lord we're not ready
Give us some time to work things out...
Please, Lord we're not ready
Give us a day
Give us an hour...
Please, Lord we're not ready
Give us some time to work things out...
Please, Lord we're not ready
Give us a day
Give us an hour...


7.The Garden

Written:Carly Simon/Jacob Brackman

Come into the garden, It's magical trees
Dapple the sun as they sway with each lazy breeze;
They'll set your mind at ease.

Pretend you're a child, with nothing to hide,
Then we'll join hands and let the universe swing wide;
We'll lay our fears aside

Hold me, here we can soon be born again
Trust me, believe we can still be born again
We've been sleeping all our lives,
Atleast we can open our eyes.

Our gates are unguarded, I've stolen the key,
To where everything holy inside us is free to run free;
To smell and taste and touch and see.

Hold me, here we can soon be born again.
Trust me, believe we can still be born again.
We've been sleeping all our lives,
At last we can open our eyes.


8.Three Days

Lyrics:Carly Simon
Music:Carly Simon

If I have known you only three days
Then how will I remember you in ten?
But I could swear I'll love you always
And if the gods will please be kind
Darling, I'll be with you soon, soon again.

And on the road you have some good times
But when the show is over you go home
And it hurts me so to leave you behind,
And lordy I feel lonesome,
Lonesome for the you I might have known.

You'll be in L.A. in the morning
And I'll be in London by sundown
But when I sing, my song is filled with longing
And the memory of your last look
The way you took me by suprise
And the way you turned my head around
And the way you turned my head around.


9.Julie Through The Glass

Lyrics:Carly Simon
Music:Carly Simon

Julie through the glass
Lookin' up at me
You've just got to be
The sweetest thing I've ever seen.

Julie through the glass
Just born a day ago
And who knows where you've been
And where you're gonna go.

We want you to love the world
To know it well and play a part
And we'll help you to learn to love yourself
'Cause that's where loving really starts.

Julie through the glass
I'm looking forward to
Doing things with you
For many years to come.


10.I've Got To Have You

Lyrics:Kris Kristofferson
Music:Kris Kristofferson

You came smilin' softly, shyly movin'
Easy as a dreamer into my room.
And before I realized the danger
I found myself looking into your eyes.
Somewhere in their colours I saw promises
Of things I'd never seen before
It's all over...I've got to have you.

Holding onto, talking, saying nothing.
Knowing in a moment I could lose you.
Then without a warning I remembered that
You trembled at the touch of my hand.
Knowing when you came to me that no one else
Would ever feel the same in my arms
It's all over...I've got to have you.

Wakin' in the morning to the tenderness
Of holding you asleep in my arms.
Dreaming while my hair was blowing
Softer than a whisper on my cheek.
I don't know the feeling so I don't know if it's love
But it's enough...It's enough
I can't help it...I've got to have you.
It's all over...I've got to have you.
