rachel and ruth
tamar and tempest
thunder and tenacity
six daughters six sisters
but sweeter the day
and sweeter the dream
nearer the day and nearer the sea
sweet oh as sweet
as only miranda can be!

The nearer the sea the stronger the stream
The stronger the stream the bolder the dream
The nearer the waves the louder the surf
Louder the surf and greater the joy!

Little Tommy Tucker Sings
Little Tommy Tucker
Sings for his supper;
What shall we give him?
White bread and butter.
How shall he cut it
Without a knife?
How will he be married
Without a wife?

Muß i' denn, muß i' denn
Zum Städtele hinaus,
Städtele hinaus
Und du mein Schatz bleibst hier
Wenn i' komm', wenn i' komm',
Wenn i' wiederum, wiederum komm',
Kehr i' ei' mei' Schatz bei dir
Kann i' glei' net allweil bei dir sei'
Han' i' doch mei' Freud' an dir
Wenn i' komm', wenn i' komm',
Wenn i' wiederum, wiederum komm',
Kehr' i' ei' mei' Schatz bei dir.

"Look at the kids on the
"Look at the kids on the sandy shore
Watching the tide come in
I used to do the same sweet things
What pleasures did it bring
Picking up pebbles
And throwing them into the sea!
Watching the white surf
Carry them all back to me!
But now it's all over
I've grown up
It don't seem the same
The things in my childhood
I know were all just a game
To sit in my bed and watch the stars
High up in the sky
To say my prayers and off to sleep
And then to wave them good-bye
Wouldn't it be nice if clocks
Could turned back in years?
Just to re-live the good times
And all the good tears!
Oh but it brings joy to see them
Looking so gay!
How I wish I could go back
To my childhood days!
Look at the kids on the sandy shore
Watching the tide come in
I used to do the same sweet things
What pleasures did it bring
Picking up pebbles
And throwing them into the sea!
Picking up pebbles
And throwing them into the sea!

Cat Stevens
Morning has broken like the first morning,
blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing praise for the morning,
praise for them springing fresh from the world!
Sweet the rain's new fall sunlit from heaven,
like the first dew-fall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden,
sprung in completeness where His feet pass
Mine is the sunlight mine is the morning!
Born of the one light Eden saw play,
Praise with elation, praise every morning,
God's re-creation of the new day!

& e.e cummings love is more
& e.e cummings
love is more thicker than forget
more thinner than recall
more seldom than a wave is wet
more frequent than to fail
it is most mad and moonly
and less it shall unbe
than all the sea which only
is deeper than the sea
love is less always than to win
less never than alive
less bigger than the least begin
less little than forgive
it is most sane and sunly
and more it cannot die
than all the sky which only
is higher than the sky

“Lord I really miss my
“Lord I really miss my baby
She’s in some far-off land
Yes the ocean took my baby
My baby stole my heart from me
~
I've been gamblin’ so long
Lord I ain’t got much more to lose
Well I’m bound to get lucky baby
Or I’m bound to die tryin’
~ ~
The way I love that woman
I swear it’s bound to get me killed,
So I’m a-walkin’ down your highway
Just as far as my poor eyes can see

With my head in my hand
I’m lookin’ for a woman

Well I’ve been lookin’ all over
For a gal like you,

Lookin’ for a woman
That ain’t got no man
Is just lookin’ for a needle
That is lost in the sand

Are you going to Scarborough
Are you going to Scarborough fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seams nor needle work
Then she'll be a true love of mine
On the side of a hill in the deep forest green
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Tracing of sparrow on snowcrested brown
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the salt water and the sea strand
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Are you going to Scarborough fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

The sea hath many thousand
The sea hath many thousand sands,
The sun hath motes as many,
The sky is full of stars, and Love
As full of woes as any.

Where have you been my
Where have you been my blue-eyed son?
And where have you been my darling young one?
~
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I've slept in the middle of seven sad forests
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
I walked and I crawled on six crooked highways

S = Ƨ
The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there they began to wail
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing
Let's rock, everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Ƨ Ƨ
Number forty-seven said to number three,
You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted with your company
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me,
Let's rock, everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
S S
Sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone
The warden said, Hey buddy don't you be no square
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair,
Let's rock, everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

& Elvis Well now since my
& Elvis
Well now since my baby left me
I found a new place to dwell
It's down at the end of Lonely Street
It's Heartbreak Hotel
Where I am so lonely baby
I'm so lonely I could die
Although it's always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers
To cry away their gloom
And they will be lonely baby
They'll be so lonely they could die
The bell hop´s tears keep flowin´
And the desk clerk´s dressed in black
They've been so long on Lonely Street
They'll never goin' to look back
They're so lonely baby
They're so lonely they could die
Now if your baby leaves you
And you got to tell the tale
Just take a walk down Lonely Street
To Heartbreak Hotel
Where you will be so lonely baby
You'll be lonely
You'll be so lonely you could die

Sugar and spice
What are little boys made of ?
Frogs and snails
And puppy-dogs' tails,
What are little girls made of ?
Sugar and spice
And all that's nice,
That's what little girls are made of.

Silver Bells
Mistress Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row.
