Traditional arranged byManuel Galvin & Jean-Jacques Milteau

Mrs. Sunshine, you're strong enough to smile Do you need me, do you need me anymore? I could settle and watch you from my tower Would it make me, would it make me nice?
Mrs. Feather, you're brave enough to fly
Do you love me, do you love me anymore?
I could give up, I'm sure you'd understand
But would you want me, would you want me in your land?
Mrs. Flower, you sleep within my cave
Do you see me, do you see me anymore? Hear this song and tell me if it's good
Is it good enough, is it good enough for you?
Mrs. Sunshine, don't miss the point I love you
Mrs. Sunshine, you chase the dark away And I need you
I need you
Mrs. Feather, you raise my lead soul to the sky And I love you
I love you

I’m a bird stuck in a stormy night
Trying to make it to a tree
And I found you on my way
Let’s fly real high ‘till the morning comes
You don’t need to be scared at all No flood can drown a flying bird
Say you will Say you will Say you will Follow me
And we’ll learn to read the winds better Always best to have them on your side And we’ll rest when we want to
On a floating branch somewhere
You don’t need to be scared at all Life is good to those who
Dare to try
High, high High, high

From the start we follow our heart, We chase the spark ‘til we make it out of the dark.
From scene one we run for the sun, Through the night ‘til make it into the light.
When I’m home I’m blessed, these are the days I love best, With your love I’m graced, these are the greatest of days.
Ahhh…. Ohhhh…
These the the greatest of days.
Ahhh…. Ohhhh…
These the the greatest of days.
With your love I’m graced, these are the greatest of days.

Gotta keep on movingGotta find a way to get close to youHelp me keep on moving, gottastay on my feet if I wanna get close to youI’m not bad at moving, when I gotta,And I just don’t know what else to do
Gotta keep my head up, everyNow and then look up to the skyBeen so low I don’t recall what the
Leaves on the trees look likeI’m doing my best,But won’t you help me with the rest
Oh while I’m still breathing
I’m moving fastIf you want me to stayYou gotta ask
If only I could love youI would spend all night getting close to youIf only I could love you I would
Be the one you could call yoursOh it sounds so pretty,
But if I don’t show you know I’m so unsure
Oh while I’m still breathing
I’m moving fastIf you want me to stay
You gotta ask
I won’t say it won’t work if youSay you’ll do the same
Hold myself still,StopAnd get myself to stayBut every time I tryYou just slip off to the sideAnd I keep moving
Oh while I’m still breathing
I’m moving fastIf you want me to stayYou gotta ask x2

No simple word,
The open book,
The letter's kill and you can't lookA broken lock,
The empty mouth,
A distant sound creeping out

A long, long, gone melodyA long, long, gone memory of wonder
A silent word,
The poison took,
The shallow eyes take their last lookA whispered doubt,
An empty house,
An autumn leaf on the ground
A long, long, gone melodyA long, long, gone memory of wonder

Bon, je frappe à la porteComme j’ai toujours faitUn chien dort là, dehors.Elle me regardeVille d’Evelyn,Je ne devrais plus être làTu me laisses entrer ?Mots et images changent sans toi.Plus vrai que vrai, c’est vraiPortes et ponts ferment derrière toiQue ferai-je ?

It ain’t over
’Til the sky has fallen down on us Could you hover
Over every part of me you trust Like that warm night in July You paused and said
Hey Penny Please
Stay
Hey Penny Stay
Hey Penny Please Stay
It ain’t over
’Til the sky has fallen down on us Could you hover
Over every part of me you trust Like that warm night in July You paused and said
Hey Penny Please
Stay
Hey Penny Stay
Hey Penny Please Stay

I find him in the night
Smoking Hoping
For time to slow
A complicated soul
Hurting Trying
To keep me safe
And as the bed unfolds
We cease fire
And as the bed unfolds
We cease fire
As he stairs at the stars
The tears roll down
From the past
Pictures of a face
Fading
A curse and a blessing
Can we hold off?
And as the bed unfolds
We cease fire
And as the bed unfolds
We cease fire
A brave and kind man
Stands before me
Do hold my hand
I’ll help you see
Again
And as the bed unfolds
We cease fire
And as the bed unfolds
We cease fire

Look at her
She’s clumsy and poor
No one will ever be sure
What is it she does with her life
Strangest of girls
She never gets out
Find a friend you need someone
Posters hanging on the walls
She talks to them
When she’s alone
Hey John Martyn
I wrote you a song
And laughs and suns and afternoons
Wasted away
Alone
We’ll find a way to love you
From now on
Strangest of girls
She never gets out
Sorry we had never seen
The light of day
On what you bring
The world is better with you in it
Don’t go just now
We’d love you to sing
And laughs and suns and afternoons
Wasted away
Alone
We’ll find a way to love you
From now on

I’ve been waiting for so long,
I’ve been waiting on my own,
No one around to take me out of this town,
Oh I’ve been waiting on my own.
No one else on this road,
I wish someone gets me on board,
Days are endless while I’m sitting here alone,
Oh I’ve been waiting on my own.
Laying down on the floor,
Nothing hurts me anymore,
I no longer wait anyone
Cause I’m happy on my own!
I’m happy on my own!
Why looking back to the past
When time flies and life runs fast,
Those clouded thoughts and dark hours are gone,
Now I’m dreaming on my own.
Laying down on the floor,
Nothing hurts me anymore,
I no longer wait anyone
Cause I’m happy on my own!
I’m happy on my own!

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like meI once was lost but now
I’m foundI was blind but now I see

Rat a tap tap;
Oh don’t you come and ask;
Am I a coming back?
The sky has gone black on us.

Don’t you weep –
Blame myself for these things
Known I was stronger than he –
And all you weaklings knew it.

Toodle loo;
They all abandoned you
One bruised and another screwed,
But I was the only loved.

Oh, Hannah Leah …
I was the only love.

Keep that bed.
Now brother, keep that rug.
Lord knows I was given so much –
And the devil keeps me fed.

On the wall. On the stove –
And in the blank book you draw –
There are signs of Hannah Leah
There are signs of our love.

Oh, Hannah Leah …
There are signs of love.

On a black, blue night
I go a wandering:
Out over Houston –
Along Avenue A.
Hannah Leah
On Avenue A.

Ku Klux Klan;
There’s evil in every man.
Come love her when you can –
And see about Hannah Leah.

Amazing grace how sweet the soundThat saved a wretch like meI once was lost but now I’m foundI was blind but now I see

Sail away from the cries of your cynical thoughts
Sail away from the hurry to prove them wrong
Sail away from the voices who can't help but bring you down Let them think they know something
Then sail away
Sail away from the land where your dreams seem unreal
Sail away to where you don't have to do, where you only have to be Sail away from the striving
Sail away from the struggle
Sail away to the heavens, they're right here in your hands
Sail away to better lands

Life’s become so fragile
now that I care
But I guess that means that I’m
Getting somewhere
Remember the time
Laying in your bedWhen you told me that you loved me
And you stroked my head

And I stared out the open window
I’d even told you
That one night howWords don’t mean a thing
But it’s alright
Cause every time
I open my mouth
And I wanna tell you something
But something else comes out

But do you know that I need you nowI’m trying to tell you but I don’t know how
So much frustration in my
Untidy roomThat you thoughtfully went andGot me a broom
But inside my room
Is a messy mind that isTangled and twisted
And untied

You know that I’m not too organisedI’m trying to be but I don’t have the time
The cement in my headWas making me sinkBut you pulled me up
and it hurts a little less to think
So life’s a little fragile
But I guess it always isWhen you’ve got some sort of reasonThat makes you wanna live
But will you share a bit of the weightI’ve carried it with me for 21 years straight

I’ve been down and under
don’t know what’s going onI’ve been down and under
don’t know what I’m doing wrongAin’t no use in trying to get back up on my feet‘cause I’ve been down and under so long
Heard from my baby yesterdayhe said that he’s doing fineheard from my baby yesterdayhe said he’s doing fineso damn hard to hear him smile I nearly lost my mind‘cause I’ve been down and under so long
Been looking for good companyto help me clear my headI’ve been looking for good company
to help me clear my headOne more night by my own side won’t get me out of bed‘cause I’ve been down and under so long
They told me just to wait it outthese blues will come and gotold me just to wait it outthese blues will come and gobut days keep getting colder and the sun don’t seem to show‘cause I’ve been down and under so long
I’ve been down and under
don’t know what’s going onI’ve been down and under
don’t know what I’m doing wrongAin’t no use in trying to get back up on my feet‘cause I’ve been down and under so long

One day will come, when you know what to do And I’ll be here
with you One day will come, but I’ll wait until I’m sure That
I’ll stay with her
A new day is coming, with the beating of her heart Oh I’ll never
let you down A new day is coming, and makes me think of the two of us
When I’m not with her
One day will come, when you know what I mean And you’ll see,
what we were meant to be One day will come, but I’ll wait until I’m
sure That I’ll stay with her
A new day is coming, with the beating of her heart Oh I’ll never
let you down A new day is coming, and makes me think of the two of us
When I’m not with her
