I 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

Whatever 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

In 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

Baby 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 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

Ever 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

You 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 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 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

Once 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

Don'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

Вы 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 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 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 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

Never 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

When 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

I 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

I 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

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

Vashti 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

Why 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

I 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

Vashti 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

Maurice 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

Travelling 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

Indifference 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

words 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 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

You 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
