Subject: Lyr Req: Freedom Peacefully From: Raggytash Date: 09 Dec 05 - 01:49 PM "Freedom Peacefully" Are these all the words and is this the correct title I have seen you tossing restless between midnight and day paying back the debts of many years oor staring at the window till the mist has burned away and waitng for the sun to dry your tears I've seen you young I've seen you old I've seen you lost and found I've seen you sit and cry without a sound And I've seen you in the lamplight with the hard lines on your face and the shadows of your fears against the wall but crying is no weakness and to lose is no disgrace you see we're not so different after all but can't you tell by the ringing bell the old years moving on I'd like to say one thing before it's done May whatever house you live in have flowers round the door and children in the bed to keep you warm may the people there respect you for what you really are and help you find some shelter from the storm and the morning rain to ease the pain that comes with being free may the New Year bring you freedom peacefully And the morning rain the ease the pain that comes with being free may the New Year bring you freedom peacefully I don't even know who wrote it, any ideas anyone |
Subject: Lyr Add: NEW YEAR'S EVE (Si Kahn) From: Beardy Date: 09 Dec 05 - 06:19 PM NEW YEAR'S EVE (Si Kahn, 1974) As recorded by Si Kahn on "New Wood" (1974) I have seen you tossin' restless between midnight and day, Payin' back the debts of many years, Or starin' out the window 'til the mist has burned away, And waitin' for the sun to dry your tears. I've seen you young; I've seen you old, an' I've seen you lost and found. I've seen you sit and cry without a sound. And I've seen you in the lamplight with the hard lines in your face, And the shadows of your fears upon the wall; But cryin' ain't no weakness and to lose is no disgrace. You see, we're not so diff'rent after all. But can't you tell by the ringin' bell, the old year's movin' on? I'd like to say one thing before it's gone. May whatever house you live in have flowers by the door, And children in the bed to keep you warm. May the people there accept you for what you really are, And help you find some shelter in the storm; And mornin' rain to ease the pain that comes with being free. May the New Year bring you freedom peacefully. Only very slight difference from what you wrote, Raggy

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: New Year's Eve (Si Kahn) From: Charley Noble Date: 31 Dec 10 - 09:33 PM Oh, I probably sing this one every year, with slightly processed lyrics. Instead of: "And children in the bed to keep you warm." I tend to sing: "And kittens in the bed to keep you warm." But "dogs" would do as well as would other consenting adults. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
