Once Again

The Barclay James Harves Once Again Lyrics
1.She Said

She said, 'why don't you come and stay with me
Far away from people we know?
We could live our lives together
Happiness wherever we go'
And i will always love her
And i will always care
And i will always love her

Wasn't long before she grew tired of me
And the life she thought would redeem
All the love she'd thrown away as a child
All the things she thought she had seen

And i will always love her
And i will always care
And i will always love her

And i will always love her
And i will always care
And i will always love her


2.Happy Old World

Looking like something from out of space we came
Nothing much to look at, but did he complain?
He didn't mind us being here to live in peace and grace
What we're doing to him now could put us back in space
We're thinking like some creatures off the ocean floor
Losing sight of what we've really come here for
Can i be heard above the sounds of prejudice and hate?
Take time to look around before it gets too late
It's a happy old world
Give and take a bit
That's what you make of it
A happy old world
But i'm sorry to be leaving it
It's a happy old world
Give and take a bit
That's what you make of it
A happy old world
But i guess i still, i still believe in it
It's a happy old world

We're tearing up the rivers and a thousand streams
And highways, they're in places where they've never been
We're building towers in the sky and racing for the sun
Oh lord, any eye can see what harm we've done
I need some help to get myself out of this maze
We can both just say goodbye and go our separate ways
My mind's not on this song i sing, my heart's not in the lines
Guess i'll go and kill myself, so would you kindly close the
blinds

Oh a happy old world
Give and take a bit
That's what you make of it
A happy old world
But i'm sorry to be leaving it
It's a happy old world
Give and take a bit
That's what you make of it
A happy old world
But i guess, guess i still believe in it
It's a happy old world


3.Song For Dying

Two of them watched in the dawn's early light
And two of them died in the morning
Search not your soul if you want to be right
But two of them died in the morning
It's not for you we cry
No, not for those who die
It is only for their sons
Forget the lives of others who are gone

Two and by two in the dawn's early light
All went to die in the morning
Search not your souls for the truth and the right
For all went to die in the morning light

It's not for you we cry
No, not for those who die
It is only for their sons
Forget the lives of others who are gone

It's not for you we cry
No, not for those who die
It is only for their sons
Forget the lives of others who are gone
Forget the lives of others who are gone
Forget the lives of others
Forget your wives and mothers
Forget the lives of others who are gone


4.Galadriel

She comes up with the morning sun
And tells me life has just begun
Oh what it is to be young
And in the early evening light
She brings me flowers from the sun
Oh what it is to be young

And if you see her you will know
She's like a shadow
Falling softly on the snow

And in the early evening light
She brings me flowers for the night
Oh what it is to be young


5.Mocking Bird

Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds and sky
Hush now baby, don't you cry
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs in the trees
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs
Just for you and me
Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds and sky
Time will see your tears run dry
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs in the trees
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs
Just for you and me

Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds and sun
Bless the tears of love now gone
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs in the trees
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs
Singing just for me...


6.Vanessa Simmons

Vanessa simmons, funny kind of name
Young and yet wise, only a child
Wake up in the morning, frown across your face
I know your name, but not your place
Wish i could show you how to live your life
But i'm not sure which one of us is right
God only knows the tears i've cried
Vanessa simmons, funny kind of name
Have you got life wrong, is it just a game?
Wake up in the morning, find a friend at night
Friends are hard to find, especially at night
Wish i could show you how to live your life
But i'm not sure which one of us is right
God only knows, and he's the one that shows, the tears i've
cried

And if i asked you for the sun, would you not say
'light's not the only way to be'?
And if i asked you for your love, would you not say
'love is not what you want from me'?
And would i not be right
To sit alone and wonder every night?

Vanessa simmons, funny kind of name
Young and yet wise, only a child
Wish i could show you how to live your life
But i'm not sure which one of us is right
God only knows, and he's the one that shows, the tears i've
cried


7.Ball And Chain

If i had my way i would not be here
Not for one day, my leaving is clear
I've had my share of heartache and pain
For happiness i'm searching in vain
I've got to get rid of my ball and chain

For all of my life, the times they've been bad
And hard luck and strife, they're all i've ever had

I've had my share of heartache and pain
For happiness i'm searching in vain
I've got to get rid of my ball and chain

I've just got to be free
God in heaven, help me

If i had my way i would not, would not be here
No, not for one day, my leaving, my leaving is clear

I've had my share of heartache and pain
For happiness i'm searching in vain
I've got to get rid of my ball and chain
Help me!
I've had my share of heartache and pain
For happiness i'm searching in vain
I've got to get rid of my ball and chain!


8.Lady Loves

The lady loves, while she may
The lady loves, while she may
In the pale moonlight, or a sunny day
The lady loves, mmm she loves

The lady dreams, while she may
The lady dreams, while she may
In the pale moonlight, or a sunny day
The lady dreams, oh she dreams

She'll take your children by the hand
She'll lead them to the promised land
Holding hands and singing songs
In the smile on her face you just know she can't be wrong

The lady sleeps, while she may
The lady sleeps, while she may
In the pale moonlight, or a sunny day
The lady sleeps, oh she sleeps

She'll take your children by the hand
And lead them to the promised land
Holding hands and singing songs
In the smile on her face you just know she can't be wrong

She'll take your children by the hand
And lead them to the promised land
Holding hands and singing songs
In the smile on her face you just know she can't be wrong
She just can't be wrong
