Subject: Lyr Req: Running From Home-Bert Jansch From: GUEST,John IN Hamilton Date: 06 Oct 03 - 07:15 PM I've got the guitar tab for this song down(more or less) but I can't make out the fourth verse, particularly the first few words. Its the verse following "just like a fly when its caught...". I've a bit of a problem with Bert's diction in a few of these songs. I'd requested the line about the beggars from "Woe is Love My Dear" but there were no takers. Maybe I'll be luckier this time, Hoping, John |

Subject: Lyr Add: RUNNING FROM HOME (Bert Jansch) From: Sooz Date: 07 Oct 03 - 02:01 PM Runnin' runnin' from home Breakin' ties that you'd grown Catchin' dreams from the clouds The city sounds burn your soul Turn your head to the cries Of loneliness in the night Just like a fly when its caught The spider soon takes its prey Spins a dance round your heart Give me your beauty and age A pleasure pleasing my mind Your heart will shatter and fall Step on pavements so old Cast a glance at the young girls A-making their way The passage image of you Reflects a pain in my heart And disappears in a crowd |

Subject: Lyr Add: OH HOW YOUR LOVE IS STRONG (Bert Jansch) From: Marco Date: 24 Nov 03 - 09:21 AM I found the lyrics of "How your love is strong". I hope are right... OH HOW YOUR LOVE IS STRONG Hey girl, oh how your love is strong Weaves a tumble-in' tearless song Tho' you don't seem to care that you love is blind. You don't seem to care not realise. Hey girl, oh how my heart is torn, Hey girl, now that your baby's born, What shall it cost? Is my freedom lost? What is the price of nature's own way. Hey girl, how could I dress your child, When this life girl I'm livin' so wild? Will your newborn child grow to be as wild? And walk alone to meet his destiny? Hey girl, see how I stand a man, Hey girl, see I've no father's hand. Would it be a crime to leave at such a time, When you've many claims to make on me? |
