On The Road To Find Out On The Road To Find Out Well I left my happy home to see what I could find out I left my folk and friends with the aim to clear my mind out Well I hit the rowdy road and many kinds I met there Many stories told me of the way to get there So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out Theres so much left to know, and Im on the road to find out Well in the end Ill know, but on the way I wonder Through descending snow, and through the frost and thunder Well, I listen to the wind come howl, telling me I have to hurry I listen to the robins song saying not to worry So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out Theres so much left to know, and Im on the road to findout Then I found myself alone, hopin someone would miss me Thinking about my home, and the last woman to kiss me, kiss me But sometimes you have to moan when nothing seems to suit yer But nevertheless you know youre locked towards the future So on and on you go, the seconds tick the time out Theres so much left to know, and Im on the road to findout Then I found my head one day when I wasnt even trying And here I have to say, cause there is no use in lying, lying Yes the answer lies within, so why not take a look now? Kick out the devils sin, pick up, pick up a good book now Cat Stevens |
Portobello Road Portobello Road Getting hung up all day on smiles Walking down portobello road for miles Greeting strangers in indian boots, Yellow ties and old brown suits Growing old is my only danger Cuckoo clocks, and plastic socks Lampshades of old antique leather Nothing looks weird, not even a beard Or the boots made out of feathers Ill keep walking miles til I feel A broom beneath my feet Or the hawking eyes of an old stuffed bull across the street Nothings the same if you see it again Itll be broken down to litter Oh, and the clothes Everyone know that that dress will never fit her Getting hung up all day on smiles Walking down portobello road for miles Greeting strangers in indian boots, Yellow ties and old brown suits Growing old is my only danger Cuckoo clocks, and plastic socks Lampshades of old antique leather Nothing looks weird, not even a beard Or the boots made out of feathers Ill keep walking miles til I feel A broom beneath my feet Or the hawking eyes of an old stuffed bull across the street Nothings the same if you see it again Itll be broken down to litter Oh, and the clothes Everyone know that that dress will never fit her Getting hung up all day on smiles Walking down portobello road for miles Greeting strangers in indian boots, Yellow ties and old brown suits Growing old is my only danger Cat Stevens |

Ruins Ruins Its so quiet in the ruins walking though the old town Stones crumbling under my feet I see smoke for miles around Oh its enough to make you weep, all that remains of the main street Up in the park on sunday, dogs chasing and the children played Old man with his head down, cant see nothing more around...no But he remembers how it used to be, back in the old days, So nice to see you coming back in this town again Its nice to see a friendly face come peeping through having tea In the afternoon, so nice to see you coming back in this town again... Ah but its all changed winter turned on a man Came down on day when no-one was looking and it Stole away the land, people running scared, losing hands Dodging shadows of falling sand, buildings standing like empty shells And nobody...helping no-one else Young child with his hands high, aint able to see no reason why...no But he remembers how it used to be, back in the old days, So nice to see you coming back in this town again Its nice to see a friendly face come peeping through Youd better know what youre going through now You came back here to find your home is a black horizon That you dont recognize, evil destruction has taken everything Youd better walk on the side while youre still walking Just keep on walking on down the street keep your distance From the people you meet. oh lord and youd better watch your eyes cause if smoke gets in them, baby you wont rise again. Wheres it leading to freedom at what cost People needing more and more and its all getting lost I want back, I want back Back to the time when the earth was green And there was no high walls and the sea was clean Dont stop that sun to shine, its not yours or mine...no.

Seasons In The Sun Seasons In The Sun Goodbye to you, my trusted friend We've known each other since we're nine or ten Together we climbed hills or trees Learned of love and abc's Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die When all the birds are singing in the sky Now that the spring is in the air Pretty girls are everywhere When you see them i'll be there We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun But the hills that we climbed Were just seasons out of time Goodbye, papa, please pray for me I was the black sheep of the family You tried to teach me right from wrong Too much wine and too much song Wonder how i get along Goodbye, papa, it's hard to die When all the birds are singing in the sky Now that the spring is in the air Little children everywhere When you see them i'll be there We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun But the wine and the song Like the seasons, all have gone Goodbye, michelle, my little one You gave me love and helped me find the sun And every time that i was down You would always come around And get my feet back on the ground Goodbye, michelle, it's hard to die When all the bird are singing in the sky Now that the spring is in the air With the flowers ev'rywhere I wish that we could both be there We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun But the stars we could reach Were just starfish on the beach...

Silent Sunlight Silent Sunlight Silent sunlight, welcome in There is work I must now begin All my dreams have blown away And the children want to play Theyll soon remember things to do When the heart is young And the night is done And the sky is blue Morning songbird, sing away Lend a tune to another day Bring your wings and choose a roof Sing a song of love and truth Well soon remember if you do When all things were tall And our friends were small And the world was new Sleepy horses, heave away Put your backs to the golden hay Dont ever look behind at the work youve done For your work has just begun Therell be the evening in the end But till that time arrives You can rest your eyes And begin again Cat Stevens |

Sweet Scarlet Sweet Scarlet Once she came into my room, feathered hat an all Wearing a warm wool shawl wrapped around her shoulders Two eyes like lights, milky marble whites looking up at me Looking for a way, moons in an endless day All I knew was with her then, no couldnt see the time As we drank down the wine to the last sweet scarlet How was I to wonder why or even question this Underneath her her kiss I was so unguarded Every bottles empty now and all those dreams are gone Ah, but the song carries on...so holy She was so much younger then, wild like the wind A gypsy with a grin from and old far away country But deep beneath her curls, Beneath this misty pearl, there was more to see She could move mountains in the dark as silent as a knife She cut loose a life that she never no never really wanted All those days are frozen now and all those scars are gone Ah, but the song carries on...so holy Come let us drink again, before the second show I want you so to know theres no bridge between us All those gates have opened now, and through the light Has shone Ah, but the song carries on...so holy Cat Stevens |
The Boy With A Monn & Star On His Head The Boy With A Monn & Star On His Head A gardeners 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 Well 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 wouldnt 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 hear could not Forget. A year had passed and everything was just as it was a year Before... As if 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 Theyd 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 Ill tell you everything Ive learned, and love is all...he said. Cat Stevens |

Where Do The Children Play Where Do The Children Play Well I think its fine, building jumbo planes. Or taking a ride on a cosmic train. Switch on summer from a slot machine. Yes, get what you want to if you want, cause you can get anything. I know weve come a long way, Were changing day to day, But tell me, where do the children play? Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass. For your lorry loads pumping petrol gas. And you make them long, and you make them tough. But they just go on and on, and it seems that you cant get off. Oh, I know weve come a long way, Were changing day to day, But tell me, where do the children play? Well youve cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air. But will you keep on building higher til theres no more room up there? Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry? Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die? I know weve come a long way, Were changing day to day, But tell me, where do the children play? Cat Stevens |
