Artist: Kansas Lyrics Song: Carry On Wayward Son Lyrics Click here to send Kansas polyphonic ringtone to your cell phone. (Chorus) Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man Though my mind could think I still was a mad man I hear the voices when I'm dreamin', I can hear them say (Chorus) Carry on my wayward son, For there'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Now don't you cry no more Masquerading as a man with a reason My charade is the event of the season And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know On a stormy sea of moving emotion Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean I set a course for winds of fortune, but I hear the voices say Carry on, you will always remember Carry on, nothing equals the splendor Now your life's no longer empty Surely heaven waits for you (Chorus) A great song , one of my all time faves plus as 11 year old played air guitar on a tennis racket to this ..

Its really great to see all of your fantastic lyrics... I enjoy them all! Here is my actual favorite song: (Reckless Kelly ) Snowfall One hundred and ten don't mean nothin' to me I've seen forty below when the rivers freeze But the ground here's bare And the skies are clear I'm packing my gear and I'm outta here When the snow falls down I'll be on my way To a western town When winter rolls around I'll be half way home To a mountain town Where the snow falls down I'm heading up north For some peace of mind Leaving my baby and my worries behind I'm gonna find my freedom Brother you should too And if you don't do it now You'll be one year older when you do Yea, when the snow falls down I'll be on my way To a western town When winter rolls around I'll be halfway home To a mountain town Where the snow falls down Where the snow falls down

Every time I play this song on guitar I can hardly stop my tears... I'm far awar for some minutes... in Kinloch Rannoch, somewhere in the Grampian Mountains... Neil Young - Helpless
There is a town in north Ontario, With dream comfort memory to spare, And in my mind I still need a place to go, All my changes were there.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars, Yellow moon on the rise, Big birds flying across the sky, Throwing shadows on our eyes. Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless Baby can you hear me now? The chains are locked and tied across the door, Baby, sing with me somehow.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars, Yellow moon on the rise, Big birds flying across the sky, Throwing shadows on our eyes. Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless.

A song which i always have loved from a great guitar player of his time ..Jimi Hendrix .
Have you ever been (have you ever been) to Electric Ladyland? The magic carpet waits for you so don't you be late Oh, (I wanna show you) the different emotions (I wanna run to) the sounds and motions Electric woman waits for you and me So it's time we take a ride, we can cast all of your hang-ups over the seaside While we fly right over the love filled sea Look up ahead, I see the loveland, soon you'll understand.
Make love, make love, make love, make love.
The angels will spread their wings, spread their wings Good and evil lay side by side while electric love penetrates the sky Lord, Lord I wanna show you Hmm, hmmm, hmmm Show you.

I hope no one has already posted this as I have not read through the whole thread. I chose a Celtic song that I love so much, titled "Siul a Run (Walk my love). I play this song all the time!
I wish I was on yonder hill 'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill Til every tear would turn a mill
I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel I'll sell my only spinning wheel To buy my love a sword of steel
Shule, shule, shule aroon Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn, Shule go durrus oggus aylig lume, Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red And 'round the world I'll beg my bread Until my parents shall wish me dead
Shule, shule, shule aroon Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn, Shule go durrus oggus aylig lume, Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
Shule, shule, shule aroon Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn, Shule go durrus oggus aylig lume,
Shule, shule, shule aroon Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn, Shule go durrus oggus aylig lume, Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

Do you still remember "City of Angels"? I so love the song by Sarah McLachlan:
ANGEL
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance for a break that would make it okay there's always one reason to feel not good enough and it's hard at the end of the day I need some distraction oh beautiful release memory seeps from my veins let me be empty and weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of an angel fly away from here from this dark cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort there
So tired of the straight line and everywhere you turn there's vultures and thieves at your back and the storm keeps on twisting you keep on building the lie that you make up for all that you lack it don't make no difference escaping one last time it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
In the arms of an angel fly away from here from this dark cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort there you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort here

It's kinda hard to talk right now. Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay? I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud Well, my girl's in the next room Sometimes I wish she was you I guess we never really moved on It's really good to hear your voice say my name It sounds so sweet Coming from the lips of an angel Hearing those words it makes me weak And I never wanna say goodbye But girl you make it hard to be faithful With the lips of an angel It's funny that you're calling me tonight And, yes, I've dreamt of you too And does he know you're talking to me Will it start a fight No I don't think she has a clue Well my girl's in the next room Sometimes I wish she was you I guess we never really moved on It's really good to hear your voice say my name It sounds so sweet Coming from the lips of an angel Hearing those words it makes me weak And I never wanna say goodbye But girl you make it hard to be faithful With the lips of an angel It's really good to hear your voice say my name It sounds so sweet Coming from the lips of an angel Hearing those words it makes me weak And I never wanna say goodbye But girl you make it hard to be faithful With the lips of an angel And I never wanna say goodbye But girl you make it hard to be faithful With the lips of an angel Honey why you calling me so late?

DOCK IN THE BAY
Sittin' in the mornin' sun I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come Watching the ships roll in And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time I left my home in Georgia Headed for the 'Frisco bay 'Cause I've had nothing to live for And look like nothin's gonna come my way So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time Look like nothing's gonna change Everything still remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do So I guess I'll remain the same, yes Sittin' here resting my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone It's two thousand miles I roamed Just to make this dock my home Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time (whistle)

TITLE: 1952 Vincent Black Lightning Lyrics and Chords
Said Red Molly to James that's a fine motorbike A girl could feel special on any such like Said James to Red Molly, well my hat's off to you It's a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952 And I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems Red hair and black leather, my favorite color scheme And he pulled her on behind And down to Box Hill they did ride
/ A - - - D - / - - - - A - / : / E - D A / / E - D A - / Bm - D - / - - - - A - - - /
Said James to Red Molly, here's a ring for your right hand But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous man I've fought with the law since I was seventeen I robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine Now I'm 21 years, I might make 22 And I don't mind dying, but for the love of you And if fate should break my stride Then I'll give you my Vincent to ride
Come down, come down, Red Molly, called Sergeant McRae For they've taken young James Adie for armed robbery Shotgun blast hit his chest, left nothing inside Oh, come down, Red Molly to his dying bedside When she came to the hospital, there wasn't much left He was running out of road, he was running out of breath But he smiled to see her cry And said I'll give you my Vincent to ride Says James, in my opinion, there's nothing in this world Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed girl Now Greeveses, Nortons and Indians won't do They don't have a soul like a Vincent 52 He reached for her hand and he slipped her the keys He said I've got no further use for these I see angels on Ariels in leather and chrome Swooping down from heaven to carry me home And he gave her one last kiss and died And he gave her his Vincent to ride

Whoever Finds This, I Love You
On a quiet street in the city a little old man walks along. Shuffling through the Autumn afternoon. And the Autumn leaves reminded him another summer's come and gone. He had a long, lonely night ahead waitin' for June. Then among the leaves near an orphan's home a piece of paper caught his eye, And he stooped to pick it up with trembling hands. And as he read the childish writing, the old man began to cry, 'Cause the words burned inside him like a flame.
"Whoever finds this, I love you!" "Whoever finds this, I need you!" "I ain't even got no one to talk to!" "So, Whoever finds this, I love you!"
The old man's eyes searched the orphan's home, And cam to rest upon a child with her nose pressed up against the window pane. And the old man knew he'd found a friend, at last, So he waved at her and smiled. And they both knew they'd spend the winter laughing at the rain.
{Recitation}
And they did spend the summer laughing at the rain, talking through the fence, exchanging little gifts they'd made for each other. The old man would carve toys for the little girl, and she would draw pictures for him of beautiful ladies surrounded by green trees and sunshine, and they laughed alot. But then on the first day of June, the little girl ran to the fence to show the man a picture she had drawn, BUT HE WASN'T THERE! And somehow, the little girl knew he wasn't coming back. So she went back to her little room, took out a crayola and a piece of paper, and wrote:
"Whoever finds this, I love you!" "Whoever finds this, I need you!" "I don't even have no one to talk to." "So, whoever finds this, I love you!"
