17 pink sugar elephantsI saw seventeen pink sugar elephants
Sitting under a chestnut tree
I said good morning pink sugar elephants
But they wouldn't speak to me
Each had two eyes but they couldn't see me there
Each had four legs but they couldn't go anywhere
And so we just sat
Against the SkyWhatever pulled the wind that night
It had it bring a tree down
Untidy lime tree holding tight
To the end of my last garden
One of five against the sky
An elegant surrender
It broke the wall and bent the gate
And warmed us through the winter
Autumn LeavesIn the morning when I walk along
And it's been raining all night
It seems the streets are wet with all the tears that I've cried
When I walk along through autumn leaves
That must have fallen last night
It seems the leaves are all the tears that I cried at night
Coldest Night Of The YearBaby baby it’s late and you’d better go,
It’s after three
Honey please have a heart, just look at that snow,
Take pity on me.
I can hear that north wind blowing,
And the fire is oh so warm
Well I know you should be going,
But how can I send you out in that storm
Come Wind Come RainCome wind, come rain, we're off again
Our muddy boots plod down the lane
The snow has snowed, now the grass has grown
And it's time that we were on the road
Hey, ho, the wind and the rain
The passers-by wave their arms and grin
Find My Heart AgainEver since you said goodbye I haven't known what to do cos
I haven't wanted to try to find myself someone new cos
I just want to be with you
How can I give myself to somebody else yet
So I'll just stay alone
Until I get over you and the love we knew
And I find my heart again
Girl's Song In WinterYou say that you'll always love me
That you'll never leave me blue
Don't you know that that's all fallacy
Don't you know it's not true
You may want the love they talk about
But it isn't like they say
You will find that come tomorrow
Glow WormsGlow worms show the path we have to tread
Dreamers, we should be asleep in bed
Moving slowly through the springtime air
Holding moments in the depth of care
Holding moments in the depth of care
Whisper fairy stories 'til they’re real,
Wonder how the night can make us feel
Go Before DawnGo before the dawn starts a breaking
And my eyes show the sun how much I cried
Go before my arms start their aching
To have you once again right by my side
The more you stay the more you remind me
My love for you was never meant to be
Let me leave these memories behind me
Here BeforeOnce I had a child
He was wilder than moonlight
He could do it all
Like he'd been here before
Once I had a child
She was smiling like sunshine
She could see it all
I KnowDon't tell me you're going away I know
And don't say what you're going to say I know
Don't expect me to cry
Don't even say goodbye
And don't say life's like that you know I know
And don't tell me I'm just a kid I know
I Want To Be AloneВы знаете, есть времена, когда я не нуждаюсь в тебе
Но вы, кажется, думаете, что значит
Я не люблю тебя - но я
Но иногда я хочу быть один
Где-то самостоятельно
Я не знаю, почему это , но я иногда чувствую,
То, что я должен уйти
If I WereIf I were to go away
Would you follow me /to ends of the earth
To show me what /Your love is worth
Or would you go and buy a car
Shrug your shoulders /Say there you are
She didn't love me /anyway
If she had /she would have stayed
if in winterIf in winter, he should change and leave me
I'd let him go and learn to do without him
Oh, I'd have a hundred lovers
And my heart would not be broken
And all the lies he's spoken
I'd whisper to the others
Oh, it's winter now and he has changed and left me
Jog Along BessJog along Bess hop along May
Squeak along Blue it’s a walk along day
It’s a long road and weary are we
Bubble on kettle and make us all some tea
Once there was a gypsy man
Selling flowers from a baker’s van
Bess she pulled him round the town
LatelyNever was much given to prayer
But lately I’m pleading with the air
To keep you safe from harm my dears
The only things that you should keep in rows
Are your perfect teeth - and the rest you know
Its own sweet way will always go
Leave MeWhen you said you would leave me
I thought that I would die
I thought I couldn't live anymore
If you weren't here by my side
But now go, and leave me
I don't care anymore
I don't care if I never see you no more
love songI love your eyes when you look away
Thinking somewhere else of what ought to be
When they're suddenly blue for a moment of time
Then the colour goes when you look at me
I love your hands as a part of you
As they write a word just by staying still
When you talk they move, painting what you say
Love You NowI don't say I'll love you forever baby
I don't say I'll love you forever
But I know that I love you now
Dunno what tomorrow will bring baby
Dunno what tomorrow will bring
But I hope it can be like now
Rainbow RiverVashti Bunyan
The rainbow river is a laughing stream
Down in a valley by a mountain that is pine tree tall
The rainbow river has a small boy fishing with a worm
And a jam jar by the waterfall
Don't make a sound don't disturb the ground
The biggest fish you ever saw is around
Rose Hip NovemberVashti Bunyan
Rose hip November - autumn I'll remember
Gold landing at our door, catch one leaf and fortune will surround you evermore
Pine tree very tall, waiting for snow to fall
Mist hangs very still, caught by dawn in castle moats around the sleeping hill
Some Things Just Stick In Your MindWhy does the sky turn grey every night
Sun rise again in time
Why do you think of the first love you had
Somethings just stick in your mind
Why does the rain fall down on the earth
Why do the clouds keep crying
Why do you sleep curled up like a child
SomedayI love you, you love me
but somehow we're not happy
so it seems if we don't part
we'll stay in love unhappy
but if I leave you and you leave me
we'll start to want eachother
and we'll think back to the love we had
swallow songVashti Bunyan
And there's a sunset brimming over the sky
And there's a swallow teaching it's young how to fly
Up on high
See how fast the summer passes by
And there's an oak leaf turning green into brown
Timothy GrubMaurice Snail and Timothy Grub,
Swanney and Blue and Emily Grub
Decided one day to go into the wood
And build them a house and live there if they could
And they stayed there a while in the trees and the rain
Till one day two Blue Men said you’re all insane
And to please not come here again
Train songTravelling north, travelling north to find you
Train wheels beating, the wind in my eyes
Don’t even know what I’ll say when i find you
Call out your name love, don’t be surprised
It’s so many miles and so long since I’ve met you
Don’t even know what I’ll find when I get to you
But suddenly now I now where I belong
Turning BacksIndifference is the hardest blow
It is the wind and icy snow
That falls on green shoots as they grow
And win to will the springs to slow
Indifference is the coldest hand
It is the wave that clears the sand
Of castles built by baby hands
Where I Like To Standwords John James/music Vashti Bunyan
The hound bays the sheep graze I'm counting the boats in the bay
As they float they seem to say-'I'm counting the waves, I'm counting the waves'
The men in the boats they wave to their wives and say
'I'm counting the hours, counting the hours, counting the hours in the day'
I'm counting the gulls that sit on the waves Surrounding the boats in the bay
winter is blueWinter is blue
Living is gone
Some are just sleeping
In spring they'll go on
Our love is dead
Nothing but crying
Love will not find even
One more new morning
WishwandererYou ask me where I live
Don't you know I live here now
But where is my one real home
This minute with you now
Home is where I stayed last night
Tomorrow's anywhere
If you let me stay with you tonight
Tomorrow's home will be here
