Put On Your Dancin’ Shoes Lyrics

Song Lyrics on Allspirit

Steve Winwood From the Album Roll With It 1988

Winwood/Jennings

So much going on out there, leaves us hanging in the air
And it’s all that we can do to face each day and see it though
Life’s a dance, put on your dancing shoes, take a chance

You can’t shut your eyes to pain, faces crying in the rain
You can’t keep it all inside, you need some way to let it ride
Life’s a dance, put on your dancing shoes, take a chance

When you’re all over, when you know you’ve done all that you can do
Put on your dancing shoes, it’ll see you through

Voices shouting in the street, life lived to a ragged beat
Someone’s world is tumbling down, and who’s the saint and where’s the clown?
Life’s a dance, put on your dancing shoes, take a chance

When you’re all over, when you know you’ve done all that you can do
Put on your dancing shoes, it’ll see you through
When time is flying, when you know there’s no end to these modern blues
Put on your dancing shoes, it’ll see you through

Song Lyrics on Allspirit

Skylark

She’s faced the hardest times
you could imagine
and many times her eyes fought back the tears
and when her youthful world
was about to fall in
each time her slender shoulders
bore the weight of all her fears
and a sorrow no one hears
still rings in midnight silence,
in her ears

Let her cry, for she’s a lady
let her dream, for she’s a child
let the rain fall down upon her
She’s a free and gentle flower,
growing wild

and if by chance I should hold her
let me hold her for a time
but if allowed just one possession
I would pick her from the garden,
to be mine

Be careful how you touch her,
for she’ll awaken
and sleep’s the only freedom that she knows
and when you walk into her eyes,
you won’t believe
the way she’s always paying
for a debt she never owes
and a silent wind still blows
that only she can hear and so she goes

Let her cry, for she’s a lady
let her dream, for she’s a child

let the rain fall down upon her
She’s a free and gentle flower,
growing wild

The Boxer Lyrics

Gill Washington Simon & Garfunkel, Song Lyrics Allspirit , , , 0 Comment

Song Lyrics on Allspirit

Simon and Garfunkel

I am just a poor boy.
Though my story’s seldom told,
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles,
Such are promises
All lies and jest
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest.

When I left my home
And my family,
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station,
Running scared,
Laying low,
Seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go,
Looking for the places
Only they would know.

CHORUS
Lie-la-lie…..

Asking only workman’s wages
I come looking for a job,
But I get no offers.
Just a come-on from the whores
On Seventh Avenue
I do declare,
There were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there.

CHORUS

Then I’m laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone
Going home
Where the New York City winters
Aren’t bleeding me,
Leading me,
Going home.

In the clearing stands a boxer,
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev’ry glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame,
“I am leaving, I am leaving.”
But the fighter still remains

CHORUS

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Gill Washington Simon & Garfunkel, Spirituality , , , , , 0 Comment

Song Lyrics on Allspirit

Simon & Garfunkel

When you’re weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I’m on your side. When times get rough
And friends just can’t be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When you’re down and out,
When you’re on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I’ll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
I’m sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

Song Lyrics on Allspirit

Shania Twain

From the Album Up

She is the restless river
running through my veins
She rides without the reins–
her name’s Juanita
She lives in the heart of every
woman in the world
Within the reach of every girl
who wants to meet her

(She’s gonna be ridin’ through)
Her name’s Juanita
(She’s gonna be ridiin’ free) She’s ridin’ free
(She’s gonna be inside of you, gonna be
inside of me) She’s inside of you
and inside of me, yeah

Oh, go with her–flow with her
Dream with her–scream with her
Let her take over, or just get to know her
Be everything you can be
If you can find her and free her
Juanita will unchain your heart

When someone tries to take
away the freedom of your choice
To take away your voice–
that’s when you need her
She’s there if you dare to give
your broken wings a try
C’mon and take a leap and fly,
and you can be her

(She’s gonna be ridin’ through) Oh, Juanita
(She’s gonna be ridin’ free) Ridin’ free
(She’s gonna be a part of you, gonna be a
part of me) She’s a part of you and a part
of me, yeah

Oh, go with her–flow with her
Dream with her–scream with her
Let her take over, or just get to know her
Be everything you can be
If you can find her and free her
Juanita will unchain your heart

[Instrumental Solo]

Oh, go with her–flow with her
Dream with her–scream with her
Let her take over, or just get to know her
Be everything you can be

Oh, go with her–flow with her
Dream with her–scream with her
Let her take over, or just get to know her
Be everything you can be
If you can find her and free her
Juanita will unchain your heart

You Can Still Be Free

Gill Washington Savage Garden, Song Lyrics Allspirit , , , , 0 Comment

Song Lyrics on Allspirit

Savage Garden

Cool breeze and autumn leaves
Slow motion daylight
A lone pair of watchful eyes
Oversee the living
Feel the presence all around
A tortured soul
A wound unhealing
NO regrets or promises
The past is gone
But you can still be free
If time will set you free

Time now to spread your wings
To take to flight
The life endeavor
Aim for the burning sun
You’re trapped inside
But you can still be free
If time will set you free
But it’s a long long way to go

Keep moving way up high
You see the light
It shines forever
Sail through the crimson skies
The purest light
The light that sets you free
If time will set you free

Sail through the wind and rain tonight
You’re free to fly tonight
And you can still be free
If time will set you free
And going higher than mountain tops
And go high the wind won’t stop
And go high
Free to fly tonight
Free to fly tonight

Song Lyrics on Allspirit

Savage Garden

When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
And television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Subway makes me nervous, people pushing me too far
I’ve got to break away
So take my hand now

(Chorus):
‘Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to liveI want to run through the jungle
With wind in my hair and the sand at my feet

I don’t have any difficulties keeping to myself
Feelings and emotions better left up on the shelf
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human
There’s a thought, now you decide

Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands, yeah
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand, yeah

(Chorus):
Sometimes this life can get you down
It’s so confusing
There’s so many rules to follow
And I feel it
‘Cause I just run away in my mind

Superstars and cannonballs running through your head
Television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human
There’s a thought, now you decide

Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands, yeah
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand, yeah

(Repeat Chorus till fade)
