1971 - Gather Me - Baby DayDa da da da da da, da da da da da da
Why sleep when the day has been called out by the sun
From the night 'cause the light's gonna shine on everyone
Why sleep when the sleep only closes up our eyes
Why sleep when we can watch the sun a-rise
We were meant to see the beginning of the day
1971 - Gather Me - Brand New KeyI rode my bicycle past your window last night
I roller-skated to your door at daylight
It almost seems like you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone, but you got something I need
Well, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together and try them out you see
1971 - Gather Me - Center of the CircleWell I was born between the signs
I got some time so hold me mister
You've got what's been on my mind
Keep on holding me
Hold me I need everybody
Keep me while I look around
You've got what I haven't found
Keep on holding me

1971 - Gather Me - Little Bit of MeBalanced on the mountain
With the people all around
Who say that I've been up too long
And they want to bring me down
Well I wouldn't mind the fallingno
It's the ones who come to see
If all I've got left inside
Is a little bit of me
1971 - Gather Me - RailroadRailroad, where you gonna take me now
Been singin' the low notes - want to get up
But he low notes bring me down
The low notes bring me down
Airplane where we gonna go today
I never want to go where you take me
But, you always get your way
1971 - Gather Me - Ring Around The MoonWho will draw a ring around the moon
Who will draw a line from star to star
Who will sing a penny's worth of song
To tell them how in love we are
I will draw a ring around the moon
I will draw a line from star to star
I will sing a penny's worth of song
1971 - Gather Me - Ring the Living BellRing the living bell
Ring the living bell
Shine the living light
Shine the living light
Ring the living bell
Ring the living bell
RING THE LIVING BELL
1971 - Gather Me - What Wonderous LoveWhat wondrous love is this, oh my soul, oh my soul
What wondrous love is this, oh my soul
What wondrous love is this
That caused the Lord of Bliss, oh
To send this perfect peace to my soul
Oh my, oh my, oh my soul, oh my soul
When I was sinking down, sinking down, oh my soul
Babe RainbowBabe rainbow
Keep your glow on
There's a show on you know
And they're all gonna be there
Put the gleam in your eyes
And do somethin' to your hair
Keep your glow on

Beautiful PeopleYou live in the same world as I do
But somehow I never noticed
You before today
I'm ashamed to say
Beautiful people
We share the same back door
And it isn't right
Birthday of The SunMelanie Safka » Birthday Of The Sun song lyrics
I'm the one
I found the birthday of the sun
But all things change
And I think it's the birthday of the rain
If I never said goodbye
To all that I've known
I would never be alone
Brand New KeyI rode my bicycle past your window last night
I roller skated to your door at daylight
It almost seems like you’re avoiding me
I’m okay alone but you’ve got something I need
Well, I’ve got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together
Close To It AllWhile walking through life I would never fall
If I could be close to it all and all,
If I could be close to it all.
If I had my dream it would not fall down
If I could live high on the ground,
The sound of high is a good one to many around
When they want to be close to it all,
And I want to be close to it all and all,
do you believeDo you believe it's morning
I'm alive but that's the last thing on my mind
If our nighttime words mean good-bye
Let our morning words be kind
Didn't your eyes say you'd never change your mind
Didn't my eyes say I do believe your eyes
I do believe them, I do believe your eyes
don't you wait by the waterDon't you wait no, by the water, no don't
You'll wait so hard, you'll wait so long
You'll look so far, you'll look so wide
You'll see a boat, but it won't be mine, no
Oh once you told me, told me you'd be mine
And in no other pleasure find
You went away, ah you lied then
I Really Loved HaroldThey told me when I was little,
I'd go to heaven if I was good.
Now I'm a long way from little,
'Cause I tried to find heaven,
'Cause I thought that I could.
I thought that I could.
And I thought I loved Harold,
If I Needed YouI've gotten rid of my g(u)ilt and my lily white
And I've gotten used to an empty bed...sometimes
We used to be glowing
But I wouldn't be going now
If I needed you
If I needed you
Oh love, you know I could hold you long
Lay DownLay down lay down lay it all down
Let your white birds smile
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down lay it all down
Leftover WineWhat do you do when the people go home
And what do you do when the show is all done
I know what I'll do in the alone of my time
But what will I do with the leftover wine
A line from a poem of my childhood has said
That visions of sugarplums were gonna dance in my head
I'll spend my whole life making the time rhyme
But I'll still have a bowl of leftover wine
Look What They've Done To My Song MaLook what they've done to my song, Ma
Look what they've done to my song
Well it's the only thing I could do half right
And it's turning out all wrong, Ma
Look what they've done to my song

Momma MommaMomma Momma, I fear you reared me wrong,
Momma Momma, I fear you reared me wrong
'cause I pick up my head, can't tell where I belong.
Momma Momma, something's hurting me bad,
Momma Momma, something's hurting me bad,
I have a yearning for something that I never had.

I was outta love,
and out of heart
I couldn't quite stop
PsychotherapyOh mine eyes have seen the glory of the theories of Freud,
He has taught me all the evils that my Ego must avoid.
Repression of the impulses resulting paranoid
As the Id goes marching on.
Glory glory psychotherapy,glory glory sexuality,
Glory glory now we can be free as the Id goes marching on
There was a man who thought his friends to him were all superior

Ruby TuesdayShe would never say where she came from
Yesterday dont matter if its gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and goes
Goodbye, ruby tuesday
The Saddest ThingAnd the saddest song under the sun above
is to say goodbye to the ones you loved
All the things that I have known
became my life, my very own
But before you know you say goodbye
ooh good time goodbye, it's time to cry
