MAN FOR ALL SEASONS
By
Bee Gees
***************
Everybody wants to leave
Just like you and I
I have all year to smile
A tear for every eye
Life closed it’s eyes, broke my world, now I cry
I’ve got to tell you, I’ve got the reasons
‘Cause I’m a man, a man for all seasons, alive
And would I pray
What makes the world go round
I haven’t got today
My mind is lost and found
Life closed it’s eyes and said goodbye, now I cry
But I’ve got to tell you, I’ve got my reasons
‘Cause I’m a man, a man for all seasons, alive
And would I pray what makes the world go round
I haven’t got today, my mind is lost and found
Du du du du du du du
I’m a man for all seasons
I’m a man for all seasons
I’m a man for all seasons
I’m a man for all seasons
EDGE OF THE UNIVERSE
***************
Just my dog and I
at the edge of the universe.
Well, I didn’t wanna bring her
and I know it’ll make her worse.
Now I look out on forever
and it must be nice down there.
And they call me Shenandora in the air.
Well, I’m ten feet tall,
but I’m only three feet wide.
And I live inside an ocean that flows
on the other side.
If I came back down tomorrow,
would it all be far too soon?
And it looks like it’s gonna be a lovely afternoon.
I thought that I was going home,
and all the way I kept on prayin’.
I couldn’t stop to turn around;
well, here I am and here I’m stayin’.
It’s been my longest journey
and I’ve come through the black of night.
I was tired and hungry
when I saw your distant light.
Well, I know this may sound crazy,
but I’m sure I got here first.
I’m just me, Shenandora,
at the edge of the universe.
I thought that I was going home,
and all the way I kept on prayin’.
I couldn’t stop to turn around;
well, here I am and here I’m stayin’.
Just my dog and I

Well, I didn’t wanna bring her
and I know it’ll make her worse.
Now I look out on forever
and it must be nice down there.
And they call me Shenandora in the air.
At the edge of the universe…
VOICES
***************
Sweet voices calling wild, echoing around this child
Sweet Faith I’ll be joining you, when my story’s over
Dee doo doo doo dah dee doo doo
doo doo doo dee doo doo doo dee doo dah day
Small secrets in the wind, blowing till the end begins
Oh my children stand by me till my story’s over
Dee doo doo doo dah dee doo doo
doo doo doo dee doo doo doo dee doo dah day
If I were you and you were me those voices they would cease to be
They won’t be free to torment me again
But in my bed again last night, those voices spoke of wrong and right
They spoke of darkness and of light
They spoke of weakness and of might
The spoke of people in the snow
And distant places long ago
The spoke of fire and falling rain
Of health and wealth and death and pain
Nah….

PAYING THE PRICE OF LOVE
***************
How did you find there was somebody
More than you want me
I never understood
Maybe I have never had you
I have been lonely for you lately
I can’t wait another day
And when you let me get you close to me
You run and leave me
Paying the price of love
The start of my end over you
When you’re doin’ it for someone
Who’ll never be free
Now is all there will ever be
No more to live without you
All the nights I dream about you
Deep in the dark of the night
I’m a man on a mission
But safer with you home
Never would I make you sorry
You are the only drug I crave
And I’ve been saving everyday
I held it all inside, I pray
You don’t forget you got me
Paying the price of love
My heart in my hands over you
But the battle is just not fair
You’ll never be free
That emotion is always replaying
You know the strongest heart
Is broken when it falls
You turn and walk away
And let it die
I got this picture in my head
Of you in someone else’s bed
And I am torn apart
I’m torn apart inside
I’ll build my world around you
I was nothing when I found you
Paying the price of love
Paying the price of love
The start of my end over you
When you’re doing it for someone
Who’ll never be free
Now is all there will ever be
Paying the price of love
My heart in my hands over you
But the battle is just not fair
You’ll never be free
That emotion is always replaying
CRYIN’ EVERY DAY
***************
I wasn’t born to be alone that was a lesson I was shown
To know that love was just a lie
I ran away to think it over
But it’s over and I try to take a stand on what is real
Someone has shown me how to feel
I’m like a shadow in the night
I’m like a river in an ocean
I’m a flame without a light
And now I’m cryin’ ev’ry day
And I’ve been cryin’ ev’ry day
And I been think’ of your love
I keep turnin’ I keep turnin’
I keep turnin’ I keep turnin’
Well your love is a cathedral and I came down here to pray
And now I’m cryin’ ev’ry day
Can there be any wonder why to be living under
love is a revelation only few can share
I could be a mountain strong but the pain about you
Long as I live without you
I would still be there
I wanna die, die away
Never love,never cry
And I been walkin’ in the rain
And I been hangin’ on a dream
All the faces and the places that our love has ever been
Now I’m cryin’ ev’ry day
And I been cryin’ ev’ry day
And I been thinkin’ of your love
I keep turnin’ , I keep turnin’
I keep turning’, I keep turnin’
Well your love is a cathedral and I came down here to pray
And now I’m cryin’ ev’ry day
Can there be any wonder why to be living under
love is a revelation only few can share
I could be a mountain strong but the pain about you
Long as I live without you I would still be there
I wanna die, die away
Never love, never cry
I wasn’t born to be a fool but I’m a fool to be around
I’m a man without a country I’m a King without a crown
And then you’re throwin’ me away
Another world , another time
But if anyone belongs to anybody you were mine
And I’m cryin’ ev’ry day
And I been cryin’ ev’ry day
And I’ve been thinkin’ of your love
I keep turnin’ I keep turnin’
I keep turnin’ I keep turning’
Well your love is a cathedral and I came down here to pray
And now I’m …
ALIVE
***************
Maybe you talk too high, man.
Maybe I talk too slow.
But you’ve got to live a little bit faster
’cause you’ve got a little less time to go.
I ain’t lost and I ain’t searching.
But then you know me very well.
And I can’t change the wind and make it blow the other way.
I’m a fool and I can tell .
That I’m alive and that’s all.
That I can get up just as fast as I fall.
And I can walk and run but I’ll never crawl.
And in the end it doesn’t matter at all.
I don’t know about the people that I read about in books.
And the Kings and Queens around my room with their quiet dirty looks.
I know I should be going somewhere, I just can’t arrive .
There’s a reason for believing that I’ve never been alive , alive.
I ain’t lost and I ain’t searching.
But then you know me very well.
And I can’t change the world and make it go the other way.
I’m a fool and I can tell.
That I’m alive and that’s all .
That I can get up just as fast as I fall.
And I can walk and run but I’ll never crawl.
And in the end it doesn’t matter at all.
I don’t know about those people that I read about in books.
And the Kings and Queens around my room with their quiet dirty looks.
I know I should be going somewhere, I just can’t arrive.
There’s a reason for believing that I’ve never been alive.
I know I should be going somewhere I just can’t arrive.
There’s a reason for believing that I’ve never been alive, alive, alive.
