Just got word today
Heard you’re in town and coming ‘round
Now it’s time to see how we can get along
It may be so wrong
But I’m sure friendship can be
Still strong and set free
We’ve seen so much
Together, blue sunny sky day
Dawn, sunset, did we appreciate
Country feeling always fade
As we leave to resume another way
Turn around sit me down
Show me how you feel
I want to know before I start again
All that you’re aware is in your mind
I can only try to find
Now he’s been and gone
Should have known all along
My faith can surely be believed in
Disbelief is sin
But I’m sure friendship can be
Still strong and set free
We’ve seen so much
Together, blue sunny sky day
Dawn, sunset, did we appreciate
As we leave to resume another way
First she walked down to the sea-shore
Then over the sunrise
And she’s gone again
She’s always had more than a friendship
But never a romance
And it’s high time, high time she leaves
High time, high time she leaves
More than two of you can see
Turning to stamp out the ways of another
And trying her best in understanding words
That mean little to the one who speaks so confused
And to relate feelings which must have grown so great
And it’s high time, high time she leaves
High time, high time she leaves
More than two of you can see
And in a way I can see where she’s wrong
The rights of a woman have vanished and gone
She found it difficult to give anymore
Relying on her judgement and remembering what she saw
Love was found in another
So she decided,
Why should she bother
But really her thoughts were much deeper
She could not understand
How feelings change in a man
And it’s high time, high time she leaves
High time, high time she leaves
More than two of you can see
Still she’s walking on the sea-shore
Over the sunrise
Now she’s gone again
She’s always had more than a friendship
But never a romance
Oh what can it be
And it’s high time, high time she leaves
High time, high time she leaves
More than two of you can see
Watch out
Society can break your limitations
It can cut you down
Dynamic changes
In a wonder world make some people think
That it’s time to search for something more
But I just want to be me
Don’t want to be told what people think I ought to be
Don’t want to be psychoanalysed
I can work myself out by myself alright
‘Cause I’ve got a mind
And I use it
Yes I’ve got a mind
So don’t abuse it
I’ve got a mind
And I use it
So don’t you lay your heavy promises on me
What is it
Do you think there’s no hope for the world we know
So you turn inside
To find peace of mind and your soul
Sure, but can’t you go alone
Do you really need to be shown?
You are a person with the strength of man
Striving to stand alone
But I just want to be me
Don’t want to be told what people think I ought to be
Don’t want to be psychoanalysed
I can work myself out by myself alright
‘Cause I’ve got a mind
And I use it
Yes I’ve got a mind
So don’t abuse it
I’ve got a mind
And I use it
So don’t you lay your heavy promises on me
Catch a colour falling
Brighter than a smile
Everything glowing now morning till night
Warming wishful
Sinking to sigh
Bounded only by the one choosing to shine
Now they call
Show them the might and strength you hold
Remember the words of November
Magical laughter
Lies opening forming mysteries
Fantasy followed by reason
Tracing each other but never discovering
What really flows beneath
Should it be clear
One day without some fear
Now they call
Show them the might and strength you hold
Prove to me what you may be
Then we’ll see
Catch a colour falling
Brighter then a smile
Everything glowing now morning till night
Warming wishful
Sinking to sigh
Bounded only by the one choosing to shine
Now they call
Show them the might and strength you hold
He left for summertown
To buy his lady a gown
He lay down to weep
Trying to find his liberty
And the strange ordeal
He could feel
Would lead a man to steal
A love to him
Was a love which made
A woman so afraid
This man knew of fame
And so made this his playful game
Many a journey was made by man
So the mind would expand
He knew only of what more was wanted
For his life to prosper
Looking for a love to
Looking for a love to
Looking for a love to show
Looking for a love
Looking for a love
Looking for a love to show
And when he reached the summertown
He forgot both lady and gown
He swept the lady away
Just as if he had finished his game
Colours are changing in my backyard of blue
I watch the day begin
But I need to see it through
I’d like to ride a wave out and catch the sun
But that’s like having you here with me now
It just can’t be done
I need you
You’re a star in the darkness
I need you
To shine all your kindness
On a world
That needs your smile
That needs your smile
Colours are changing in my backyard of blue
I watch the evening glowing
Are you watching it too
It’s been so long since somebody really cared
Both sides a little shy
But there’s something to share
I need you
You’re a star in the darkness
I need you
To shine all your kindness
On a world
That needs your smile
That needs you smile
So easy to turn away and forget the world
When I have somebody like you
And my backyard of blue
Strong as sunlight shining down
Upon the desert sand
Never ending like the waves of the sea
And the hills of the land
So she’s wrapped herself with the warmth of dreams
In the clouds, crying soft and loud
For someone to complete within her
The feeling she cannot find
The one that knows no bounds
So she holds her head up high
And wonders why she cares
But you know that really
Time will bring her down now
If she dares
It may be winter but her mind has turned to spring
Full of thoughts that will bloom
To hear the seasons sing
To hear the seasons sing
She sees herself
Always wandering always hiding
But rarely finding
Thought over, how long will it last
Those loves of the past
Now she knows only one
But it keeps fading with the sun
I’m the kind to worry
That’s why I sing my song
I’m the kind to worry
Not knowing whether I’m right or wrong
And with the fresh breeze
In the morning with the dawn
I will be standing
Holding new dreams to be born
Saw a bright new face today
One smile has made it stay
With me to hide away
In my mind till the end of time
Blue blossom, candy coloured room
Fills the air
With fragrance of love and good times
Shall be there
Childish fancy
Shining from the seed of life
Your mind is dancing
Beaming, glowing full of light
And with the fresh breeze
In the morning with the dawn
I will be standing
Holding new dreams to be born
Blue blossom, candy coloured room
Fills the air
With fragrance of love and good times
Shall be there
Saw a bright new face today
I never knew it could be so hard
It’s a complicated life
Gonna take a while
To see where I am
And how I feel
Ideas have changed, that’s strange
I’ve chosen very difficult ways to most my friends
I thought I was not quite the same
Only made it that way
My mind went astray
Now I know I’ve got
The feelings of a woman
Can’t escape the way I am
Tried to find it
Live without it
I was wrong
Often I wish I was as strong as the tree
That stands outside my window
Breathing in the sunshine
But never weeping like a willow
Friends have told me
People have shown me
I’m thanking you
For making me see I’ve got
The feelings of a woman
Can’t escape the way I am
Tried to fight it
Live without it
I was wrong
Find it very hard to say what I mean
Come to think of it
I’ve never ever tried
But I think and think about you
‘Cause you’ve made me see I’ve got
The feelings of a woman
Can’t escape the way I am
Tried to fight it
Live without it
I was wrong“
Took my daily questions down to the sea
I hope to draw conclusions
Set me free
‘Cause I’m watching the flying coloured movement of my mind
Peaceful boats drift and wind
Any day now
I will know where it is for me
That life should see more than the man
I was hiding, hiding my ideas
Now I’m finding, finding over the years
Shielding selfish desires
Shameful I should feel
But I’m hiding the fear of a break in the circle
Of which I am part of the curve
Knowing that all I have done is much like the bird
Who has flown down with the sun
Any day now
I will know where it is for me
That life should see more than the man
I was hiding, hiding my ideas
Now I’m finding, finding over the years
I was hiding, hiding my ideas
Circles running round
Coming in and rolling down
My mind is full of music
And the notes that sound
Music has the magic
Of making every word he says
A sweet melody for you and me
Yes you and me
But you really don’t know how I miss
Gentle ways, gentle words
The silent understanding as you learn
Running from return
Flying further than far apart
I know I can’t
Tell time to hurry on
But maybe we will see
Some stranger force in me
So hard to explain
But there are no words
That account for the space of wilderness within
A vacuum of vague feeling
But whoever heard
Of one holding back from love
For fear of losing love
You really don’t know how I miss
Gentle ways, gentle words
The silent understanding as you learn
Whoever heard
Of one holding back from love
For fear of losing love
