Come gather 'round people

Wherever you roam

And admit that the waters

Around you have grown

And accept it that soon

You'll be drenched to the bone.

If your time to you Is worth savin'

Then you better start swimmin'

Or you'll sink like a stone

For the times they are a-changin'.
Come writers and critics

Who prophesize with your pen

And keep your eyes wide

The chance won't come again

And don't speak too soon

For the wheel's still in spin

And there's no tellin' who

That it's namin'.

For the loser now

Will be later to win

For the times they are a-changin'.
Come senators, congressmen

Please heed the call

Don't stand in the doorway

Don't block up the hall

For he that gets hurt

Will be he who has stalled

There's a battle outside ragin'.

It'll soon shake your windows

And rattle your walls

For the times they are a-changin'.
Come mothers and fathers

Throughout the land

And don't criticize

What you can't understand

Your sons and your daughters

Are beyond your command

Your old road is Rapidly agin'.

Please get out of the new one

If you can't lend your hand

For the times they are a-changin'.  (Bob Dylan)

"To everything - turn, turn, turn

There is a season - turn, turn, turn

And a time for every purpose under heaven.

 A time to be born, a time to die

A time to plant, a time to reap

 A time to laugh, a time to weep

A time to kill, a time to heal

To everything - turn, turn, turn

There is a season - turn, turn, turn

And a time for every purpose under heaven

A time to build up, a time to break down

A time to dance, a time to mourn

A time to cast away stones

A time to gather stones together

To everything - turn, turn, turn

 And a time for every purpose under heaven

There is a season - turn, turn, turn

A time of war, a time of peace

A time of love, a time of hate

A time you may embrace

A time to refrain from embracing

There is a season - turn, turn, turn

And a time for every purpose under heaven

To everything - turn, turn, turn

A time to gain, a time to lose

A time to rend, a time to sew

A time to love, a time to hate

A time of peace, I swear it's not too late"

(Pete Seeger)

"It's been a long time comin'
It's goin' to be a long time gone.
Appears to be a long time,
Yes, a long, long, long time
Before the dawn.
Turn, turn any corner.
Hear, you must hear what the people say,
You know there's something that's goin' on here,
That surely, surely, surely won't stand the light of day.
And it appears to be a long,
Such a long, long, long time before the dawn.
Speak out, you got to speak out against
The madness, you got to speak your mind,
If you dare.
But don't try to get yourself elected.
If you do you had better cut your hair.
'Cause it appears to be a long time,
Before the dawn.
It's been a long time comin',
It's been a long time gone.
But you know, the darkest hour,
Is always just before the dawn.
And it appears to be a long time,
Such a long, long, long time before the dawn"   (David Crosby)

Good times for a change

See the luck i've had

Would make a good man turn bad
So please please please

Let me get what i want

Lord knows it would be the first time
Haven't had a dream in a long time

See, the life i've had would make a good man bad
So for once in my life

Let me get what i want

Lord knows it would be the last time

Lord knows it would be the first time

(The Smiths)

"From a whisper in the wind to a loud scream
The message came that I've lost you
To the warmth of another man

For heaven sakes, girl, don't do this to me

I've seen more tears fall from your eyes
Than all the showers of April
I took kindness for granted
As if it came with the wallpaper

So inconsiderate of how much you cared
For some stupid reason I just thought you had to be there

But, oh my love, you've lost it
Oh, my love, she's gone
My love, you've lost it
She's long gone

For heaven sakes, girl, don't do this to me

I simply must have been crazy
I must have been out of my mind
To overlook the need in you
How could I have been so blind

Never giving thoughts to your wants and needs
But now I'm begging, my baby, please, please, please

But, oh my love, you've lost it
Oh, my love, she's gone
My love, you've lost it

So inconsiderate of how much you cared
For some stupid reason I just thought you had to be there

But, oh my love, you've lost it
Oh, my love, she's gone
My love, you've lost it
She's long gone"     (Robert Palmer via Allen Toussaint)

Blue Moon,

You saw me standing alone,

Without a dream in my heart,

Without a love of my own.

Blue moon,

You knew just what I was there for,

You heard me saying a prayer for,
Someone I could care for,

And then there suddenly appeared before me,

Someone my arms could really hold,

I heard you whisper "Darling please adore me,"

And when I looked to the moon it had turned to gold,

Blue moon,

Now I'm no longer alone,

Without a dream in my heart,
Without a love of my own.

And then there suddenly appeared before me

The only one my arms will ever hold

Heard somebody whisper please adore me

And when I looked the moon had turned to gold

Blue moon

Now I'm no longer alone

Without a dream in my heart

Without a love of my own

(Rodgers and Hart)

"Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight
Red is gray and yellow, white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion"
 (Days of Futures Past-The Moody Blues)

"I tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream.
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind,and melt your cold cold heart

You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to try
Why do you run and hide from life,to try it just ain't smart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you,the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart"  

(Hank Williams)

Sister moon will be my guide

In your blue blue shadows I would hide

All good people asleep tonight

I'm all by myself in your silver light

I would gaze at your face the whole night through

I'd go out of my mind, but for you
Lying in a mother's arms

The primal root of a woman's charms

I'm a stranger to the sun

My eyes are too weak

How cold is a heart

When it's warmth that he seeks?

You watch every night, you don't care what I do

I'd go out of my mind, but for you

I'd go out of my mind, but for you
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun

My hunger for her explains everything I've done

To howl at the moon the whole night through

And they really don't care if I do

I'd go out of my mind, but for you
Sister Moon  (Sting)
