Hi, I'm looking for the lyrics of the Bert Jansch' song: "Just a dream", from CD "When the circus comes to town". From the same CD I'm looking for the lyrics of: "Summer Heat"; "Morning brings peace on mind" and "Walk quietly by". I'm interessed about every song/tab of Jansch, my favourite artist. Please, help me!!! Marco. |

I said, "How do you do, my friend? How do you do today?" He looked so pale; his face was drawn. He said "My friend, I wish I'd never been born. I'm a-lookin' for my long-lost soul. I had it only yesterday. Now there was a time when I could build a ship. I'd build it proud and strong. On the seven seas it would sail along, And now it's only just a dream." I met a woman on the same highway. I looked in her eye but she turned away. I said, "How do you do, my friend? How do you do today?" She said, "In this land there's a place for me, A paradise and the water comes free, Or is it just a crazy dream That's floatin 'round inside my head? Now there was a time we would stand and fight Instead of turnin'. Let our voices sing out in harmony, And now it's only just a dream." Hand in hand came a boy and girl. He whistled a tune; she sang a song. I said, "How do you do, my friends? How do you do today?" "Now we don't know what we should learn, What books to keep, what books to burn. What a funny old world this is! Keeps changing from day to day. Now there was a time when it was right and wrong. It was black and white. It was easier to get along. Now it's only just a dream." |

My restless heart's never still Turning and tossing through the night Thoughts running wild in confusion People and places all jumbled in my mind Oh the new day beginning is so near. [live version: Oh the new day beginning's young and clear.] Morning brings peace of mind And the birds are singing in the air Gone are the nightmares a-running And the fear of the darkness has vanished with the light Oh the new day beginning is so near Yeh the new day beginning's young and clear. |
