By The Time It Gets Dark (Sandy Denny)
Baby every cloud has a silver lining
Baby every dog really has his day
And it matters to me to see you smiling
Why don't we blow all your cares away
Yesterday is gone and will be forgotten
And today is where every new day starts
Got to be free as the leaves in autumn
You may be sad but it will never last.
Chorus
Maybe by the evening we'll be laughing
Just wait and see all the changes
there'll be By the time it gets dark.
We could go walkin' out in the sunshine
Look at all the people out in the street
Hurrying away to a business luncheon
Waiting for a taxi for aching feet
Light up your face baby let's get goin'
Want to see a change in those weary eyes
We'll have some fun take a boat out rowing
Why on earth should life be so serious?
Chorus
Farewell
(Richard Thompson)
Farewell, farewell to you who would hear
You lonely travellers all
The cold north winds will blow again
The winding road does call.
And will you never return to see
Your bruised and beaten sons
OI would, I would if welcome
I were For they loathe me every one.
Chorus
Maybe by the evening we'll be laughing
Just wait and see all the changes there'll be
By the time it gets dark.
And will you never cut the cloth
Nor drink the light to be
And can you never swear a year
To anyone but he.
No I will never cut the cloth
Nor drink the light to be
But I'll swear a year to he who lies
Asleep alongside of me.
Repeat First Verse
Sparks Might Fly (Noel Brazil)
I cannot stop this child from touching me
see no fault in watching her bloom
She knows where fire begins and where sparks might fly
Yet I feel she may be consumed.
She done turns on the B stage
She shook hands when the shoe fit
I wanna know how the land lies
I'll let you in on a secret.
I did not steal away when love rode by
I did not let myself be unkind
It's so hard to say where love meets
lust I often think I'm losing my mind.
I trade notes with the press league
They send back their suggestions
I wanna know where I come from
But all I get are directions. Chorus
I can't get started, can't get goin' What's wrong?
Big ideas, the fine intentions They're all
gone
It takes two flagons of courage Pounds,
shillings and pence You wind up going
nowhere It doesn't make sense.
I see my brother's face grow dark with care
I spend my time avoiding his gaze
I pray that God might make his dreams
come true I'd give so much to feel he's been saved.
A bright spark in the playground
Dead loss as an anchor You don't call him a misfit
He's just stuck for an answer. Chorus (2)
Baby every cloud has a silver lining

And today is where every new day starts

You may be sad but it will never last.
