strawbs – song for alex

i’ve been many places, i’ve p-ssed through many cities
paris to toronto and the rest
the travelling can bring you down, you’re always on your own
but i see friendly faces everywhere.

from a song that pulls your heartstrings to a sea of smiling faces
oh, but a careless word can make you feel so sad
but in the end i add things up and i find it’s all worthwhile
when i see friendly faces everywhere.

the windswept streets are empty when my working day is over
and i always think of home last thing at night
then i close my eyes and fall asleep for i know that in my dreams
that i’ll see friendly faces everywhere.

preserves uncanned (2-c-ssette/2cd), 1991, cd 2, track 19

dave cousins and brian willoughby: the bridge, 1994, track 10

song of a sad little girl

(cousins)

old school songs

she looks so frail beside you
as she wears her sick disguise
you say she’ll soon be better
as you dry her tearful eyes
you tell her fairy stories
she tries to understand
she looks to you for comfort
and holds out her little hand.

but early in the morning
when the sun shines
into her tiny room
she wakes up like a bird
and she’s fine again.

you gently kiss her forehead
and from the room you creep
but you linger in the doorway
as she whimpers in her sleep
her cheeks are flushed like sunset
and her head’s an open fire
all night she turns and tosses
as her temperature gets higher.

but early in the morning
when the sun shines
into her tiny room
she wakes up like a bird
and she’s fine again.

the nightlight in the corner
casts a soft and peaceful glow
her face becomes much cooler
and her breathing much more slow
she dreams of clowns and princes
sailing boats and trains
the fairies come by moonlight
to take away her pain.

but early in the morning
when the sun shines
into her tiny room
she wakes up like a bird
and she’s fine again.

she wakes up
like a bird
and she feels fine.
