13 Dec 09 - 12:38 PM (#2787457) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Rest of the Year' by David Buskin From: Jim Dixon THE REST OF THE YEAR, written by David Buskin, was recorded by Mary Travers on her album "Morning Glory" (1972) and by D. C. Anderson on his album "All Is Calm, All Is Bright" (2001). I transcribed this from a sample at Allmusic.com: ...In this turmoil a moment of calm And to behold it come all the faithful, all of the faithful They gather now to sing "hallelujah" for everyone to hear But the rest of the year.... |

(see above) bloody habit is lifted from the earth and cries of brotherhood ring out reaching the hardest of men |

28 Oct 11 - 10:58 PM (#3246454) Subject: Lyr Add: THE REST OF THE YEAR (David Buskin) From: Jim Dixon This was a tough one to transcribe, mainly because it seems to have no regular metrical structure, and lots of dangling phrases that are not part of any complete sentence. So I had to guess where to insert line breaks and punctuation. THE REST OF THE YEAR Written by David Buskin As sung by D. C. Anderson on "All Is Calm, All Is Bright" (LML Music, 2005) So the season once again: Red and green in unlikely places, Dressed up people in the streets, Smiling and wishing well to the world. This is the time of a celebration, A celebration, and everyone is bathéd in the glow Of the season of good cheer. Oh, but the rest of the year— Voices raised in ancient songs, Praising, telling of joy and sounding odd Beside the current rage. In this turmoil, a moment of calm, And to behold it come all the faithful. All of the faithful, they gather now To sing "hallelujah" for everyone to hear. Oh, but the rest of the year— Silent snowfall hinting peace; Bloody habit is lifted from the earth, And cries of brotherhood ring out, Reaching the hardest of men. He joins the chorus and loves his neighbor. He loves his neighbor, and so for one day, Nobody is killed along some agonized frontier. Oh, but the rest of the year— The rest of the year— The rest of the year— |
