The Minstrel of The Dawn
By Gordon Lightfoot
The minstrel of the dawn is here
To make you laugh and bend your ear
Up the steps youll hear him climb
All full of thoughts, all full of rhymes
Listen to the pictures flow
Across the room into your mind they go
Listen to the strings
They jangle and dangle
While the old guitar rings
The minstrel of the dawn is he
Not too wise but oh so free
He'll talk of life out on the street
He'll play it sad and say it sweet
Look into his shining face
Of lonelines youll always find a trace
Just like me and you
He's tryin to get into things
More happy than blue
A minstrel of the changin tide
He'll ask for nothing but his pride
Just sit him down upon that chair
Go fetch some wine and set it there
Listen to the pictures flow
Across the room into your mind they go
Listen to the strings
They jangle and dangle
While the old guitar rings
A minstrel of the dawn is near
Just like a step n fetchit here
He's like an old time troubador
Just wanting life and nothing more
Look into his shining eyes
And if you see a ghost dont be surprised
Like me and you
He's tryin to get into things
More happy than blue
The minstrel boy will understand
He holds a promise in his hand
He talks of better days ahead
And by his words your fortunes read
Listen to the pictures flow
Across the room into your mind they go
Listen to the strings
They jangle and dangle
While the old guitar rings
The minstrel of the dawn is gone
I hope he'll call before too long
And if you meet him you must be
The victim of his minstrelsy
He'll sing for you a song
The minstrel of the dawn
(I don't think these lyrics are accurate, I'll have to find better ones later)
The Lullaby of Spring
By Donovan Leitch
spring has showered far her drip
splash and trickle running,
plant has flowered in the sand
shell and pebble sunning;
so begins another spring,
green leaves and of berries,
chiff-chaff eggs are painted by
motherbird eating cherries
in the misty, tangled sky,
fast a wind is blowing
in a newborn rabbit's heart
river life is flowing
so begins another spring,
green leaves and of berries,
chiff-chaff eggs are painted by
motherbird eating cherries
from the dark and whetted soil,
petals are unfolding
from the stony village kirk
easter bells of old ring
so begins another spring,
green leaves and of berries,
chiff-chaff eggs are painted by
motherbird eating cherries
spring has showered far her drip,
splash and trickle running
plant has flowered in the sun
shell and pebble sunning
so begins another spring
green leaves and of berries,
chiff-chaff eggs are painted by
motherbird eating cherries
Bring Me To Life
Paul McCoy/Evanescence
How can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I’ve become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become
Now that I know what I’m without
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become
Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life
Frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are the life among the dead
All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
without a thought without a voice without a soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become
(Bring me to life)
I’ve been living a lie, there’s nothing inside
(Bring me to life)
