Resonant Lyrics

Free Love – David Brent

Pretty girl on the hood of a Cadilac, yeah….
She’s broken down on freeway nine.
I take a look and her engine’s started,
I leave her purring and I roll on by….bye bye

Chorus
Free love on the free love freeway,
The love is free and the freeway’s long…
I got some hot love on the hot-love freeway
I ain’t going home cos’ my baby’s gone
A little while later, see a senorita,
She’s caught a flat trying to make it home,
She says “Por favor, can you pump me up?”
I say “Muchos gracias, adios. Bye Bye.”

Free love on the freelove freeway,
The love is free and the freeway’s long
I got some hot love on the hotlove highway,
Ain’t going home ‘cause my baby’s gone.

Little while later I see a cowboy crying,
“Hey buddy, what can I do?”
He says “I lived a good life, had about a thousand women.”
I said “Why the tears?”, he says “‘cause none of them was you.”
Free love on the free love freeway,
where the love is free and the freeway is long…
I got some hot love on the hot-love freeway
I ain’t going home cos’ my baby’s gone

Boy With A Moon And Star On His Head

A gardener’s daughter stopped me on my way on the day I was to wed
“It is you who I wish to share my body with” she said
“We’ll find a dry place under the sky with a flower for a bed
And for my joy I will give you a boy with a moon and star on his head”

Her silver hair flowed in the air laying waves across the sun
Her hands were like the white sands and her eyes had diamonds on
We left the road and headed up to the top of the Whisper Wood
And we walked ’till we came to where the Holy Magnolia stood

And there we laid cool in the shade singing songs and making love…
With the naked earth beneath us and the universe above

The time was late my wedding wouldn’t wait I was sad but I had to go
So while she was asleep I kissed her cheek for cheerio

The wedding took place and people came from many miles around
There was plenty merriment cider and wine abound
But out of all that I recall I remembered the girl I met
‘Cause she had given me something that my heart could not forget

A year had passed and everything was just as it was the year before…
As it was a year before…
Until the gift that someone left
A basket by my door
And in there lay the fairest little baby crying to be fed
I got down on my knees and kissed the moon and star on his head

As years went by the boy grew high and the village looked on in awe
They’d never seen anything like the boy with the moon and star before

And people would ride from far and wide just to seek the word he spread
“I’ll tell you everything I’ve learned..
And Love Is All.”
He said.

Cat Stevens

Quite a while since I heard that song Obs..
A big fave of mine many years back.

Good stuff :)

Secret Smile

Nobody knows it but you’ve got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but you’ve got a secret smile
And you use it only for me

So use it and prove it
Remove this whirling sadness
I’m losing, I’m bluesing
But you can save me from madness

Nobody knows it but you’ve got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but you’ve got a secret smile
And you use it only for me

So save me I’m waiting
I’m needing, hear me pleading
And soothe me, improve me
I’m grieving, I’m barely believing now, now

When you are flying around and around the world
And I’m lying alonely
I know there’s something sacred and free reserved
And received by me only

Questi giorni quando vieni il belle sole
la la la la la-la-la-la la la la la

On days like these when skies are blue and fields are green
I look around and think about what might have been
and then I hear sweet music float around my head
as I recall the many things we left unsaid
its on days like these that I remember
singing songs and drinking wine
while your eyes played games with mine

on days like these I wonder what became of you
maybe today you are singing songs with someone new
I’d like to think you’re walking by those willow trees
remembering the love we knew on days like these
its on days like these that I remember
singing songs and drinking wine
while your eyes played games with mine

on days like these I wonder what became of you
maybe today you are singing songs with someone new

Questi giorni quando vieni il belle sole
la la la la la-la-la-la

On Days Like These
