Caught a dragon fly inside a jar. Fearful when the sky was full of thunder and tearful at the falling of a star. And the seasons they go round and round and the painted ponies go up and down, we're captive of a carousel of time. We can return we can only look behind from where we came and go round and round and round in the circle game. Then the child moved ten times round the season. Painted over ten clear frozen streams. Tears like when you're older must appease him. And promises of someday make him dream. Chorus And the seasons............. So the years spin by and now the boy is 20 . His dreams have lost some grandeur coming true, but there'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty before his last revolving year is through. Chorus And the seasons............. Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now cart wheels turn to car wheels through the town and they tell him take your time now till you drag your feet to slow the circles down Chorus And the seasons............. Moondance Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance With the stars up above in your eyes A fantabulous night to make romance 'Neath the cover of October skies And all the leaves on the trees are falling To the sound of the breezes that blow And I'm trying to please to the calling Of your heat-strings that play soft and low And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush Chorus: Can I just have one a' more Moondance with you, my love Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love Well, I wanna make love to you tonight I can't wait 'til the morning has come And I know that the time is just right And straight into my arms you will run And when you come my heart will be waiting To make sure that you're never alone There and then all my dreams will come true, dear There and then I will make you my own And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside And I know how much you want me that you can't hide Chorus Repeat 1st Verse One more Moondance with you in the moonlight On a magic night La, la, la, la in the moonlight On a magic night Can't I just have one more dance with you my love CHILDREN GO WHERE I SEND THEE Peter, Paul & Mary Children go where I send thee How shall I send thee? Well, I'm gonna send thee one by one One for the little bitty baby Who was born, born, born in Bethlehem Said he was born, born, born in Bethlehem Children go where I send thee: How shall I send thee? Hey, I'm gonna send thee two by two Two for Paul and Silas One for the itty bitty baby Who was born, born, born in Bethlehem. Children go where I send thee: How shall I send thee? (*repeat, singing verses in descending order*) I'm gonna send the: three by three, three for the Hebrew children four by four, four for the four that stood at the door five by five, five for the five that stayed alive six by six, six for the six that never got fixed seven by seven, seven for the seven who never got to heav'n eight by eight, eight for the eight that stood at the gate nine by nine, nine for the nine that dressed so fine ten by ten, ten for the ten commandments He was born, born, born in Bethlehem. THE CAT CAME BACK Old farmer Johnson had troubles of his own, He had a yellow cat that wouldn't leave his home He tried and he tried to get the cat away But the cat came back the very next day. Oh... Chorus: The cat came back the very next day Oh, the cat came back They thought he was a gonner But the cat came back He just wouldn't stay away, away, away, away The man around the corner swore he'd shoot that cat on site He loaded up his shotgun with nails and dynamite He waited and he waited for the cat to come around But 97 pieces of the man was all they found and... (chorus) He gave it to a man going up in a balloon And told him for to give it to the man in the moon Balloon came down 500 miles away But the cat came back the very next day, Oh... (chorus) He gave it a man going way out west And told him for to give it to the one he loved the best First the train hit the track and then it jumped the rail And no one else was left alive to tell the gruesome tale, but... (chourus) The A-bomb fell just the other day And H-bomb came in the very same way Russia went, Europe went and then the USA The human race was finished without a chance to pray BUT... THE... Cat came back... FATHER AND SON (Cat Stevens, from _Tea for the Tillerman_, 1970?) It's not time to make a change, just relax and take it easy You're still young that's your fault, there's so much you have to know Find a girl, settle down, if you want to, you can marry Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy I was once like you are now, and I know that its not easy to be calm, when you've found something going on. But take your time, think a lot, think of everything you've got For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not Chorus: How can I try to explain? when I do he turns away again it's always been the same, same old story From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen now there's a way and I know I have to go away and I know I have to go Verse: (away) (away) It's not time to make a change, just sit down and take it slowly (I) (know) (I have) You're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have (to make this) to go through (decision) (alone) Find a girl, settle down, if you want to you can marry (know) [no?] Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy (stay) (stay, stay) All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside (why?) (must) (you go and make this de- It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it. cision) (alone?) If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know, not me Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away. I know I have to go. Cat's In The Cradle Words and music by Harry Chapin and Sandy Chapin My child arrived just the other day; he came into the world in the usual way. But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay. He learned to walk while I was away. And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it. And as he grew he'd say, "I'm gonna be like you, Dad. You know I'm gonna be like you." And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, little boy blue and the man in the moon. "When you comin' home Dad?" "I don't know when, but we'll get together then, Son. You know we'll have a good time then." My son turned ten just the other day. He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on, let's play. Can you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today. I got a lot to do." He said, "That's okay." And he walked away, but his smile never dimmed. It said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah. You know I'm gonna be like him." And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, little boy blue and the man in the moon. "When you comin' home Dad?" "I don't know when, but we'll get together then, Son.
