Moonglow Lyrics
It must have been Moonglow, way up in the blue. It must have been Moonglow, that led me straight to you. I still hear you saying, dear one, hold me fast. And I start in praying, oh Lord,

Tar and Cement
Verdelle Smith
The town I came from was quiet and small
we played in the meadows where the grass grew so tall
in summer the lilacs would grow everywhere
the laughter of children would float in the air
As I grew older I had to roam
far from my family, far from my home
into the city, where lives can be spent
lost in the shad
Pass It On Lyrics
Every day I recognise What's deceased and what's alive But don't repeat what I just said Until boulders turn to lead Then all the tales will be told Whilst you and I are in t
ows of tar and cement.Every day I recognise What's deceased and what's alive But don't repeat what I just said Until boulders turn to lead Then all the tales will be told Whilst you and I are in t
Chorus:
And every night I'd sit alone and learn
what loneliness meant
up in my rented room above the world
of tar and cement.
Each day I'd wake up and look at the sky
think of the meadows where I used to lie
then I'd remember all of that's gone
you're in the city, you better push on
get what you came for, before it's
Upon The Wind And The Waves Lyrics
And Pia took us down upon the quayside to board the silver boat upon the wind and waves And Daniel he heralded the boat and directed her well across the wind and
oo lateAnd Pia took us down upon the quayside to board the silver boat upon the wind and waves And Daniel he heralded the boat and directed her well across the wind and
get what you came for, the meadows can wait.
Repeat Chorus
Many years later, tired at last
I headed for home to look for my past
I looked for the meadows, there wasn't a trace
six lanes of highway had taken their place
where were the lilacs and all that they meant
nothing but acres of tar and cement.
Yet I can see it there so clearly now
Take care daughter dear Don't dream on many gallant men tonight Take care daughter dear For a doctor comes to steal your books in the dead of night" Every ?sign? in her
Yes I can see it there so clearly now
where has it gone?
Where are the meadows? (tar and cement)
where are the lilacs? (tar and cement)
and where is the tall grass? (tar and cement)
the laughter of children? (tar and cement)
nothing but acres (tar and cement)
acres and acres.....(fade to end)
