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

Teachers

Song Lyrics on Allspirit

by Leonard Cohen

I met a woman long ago
her hair the black that black can go,
Are you a teacher of the heart?
Soft she answered no.
I met a girl across the sea,
her hair the gold that gold can be,
Are you a teacher of the heart?
Yes, but not for thee.

I met a man who lost his mind
in some lost place I had to find,
follow me the wise man said,
but he walked behind.

I walked into a hospital
where none was sick and none was well,
when at night the nurses left
I could not walk at all.

Morning came and then came noon,
dinner time a scalpel blade
lay beside my silver spoon.

Some girls wander by mistake
into the mess that scalpels make.
Are you the teachers of my heart?
We teach old hearts to break.

One morning I woke up alone,
the hospital and the nurses gone.
Have I carved enough my Lord?
Child, you are a bone.

I ate and ate and ate,
no I did not miss a plate, well
How much do these suppers cost?
We’ll take it out in hate.

I spent my hatred everyplace,
on every work on every face,
someone gave me wishes
and I wished for an embrace.

Several girls embraced me, then
I was embraced by men,
Is my passion perfect?
No, do it once again.

I was handsome I was strong,
I knew the words of every song.
Did my singing please you?
No, the words you sang were wrong.

Who is it whom I address,
who takes down what I confess?
Are you the teachers of my heart?
We teach old hearts to rest.

Oh teachers are my lessons done?
I cannot do another one.
They laughed and laughed and said, Well child,
are your lessons done?
are your lessons done?
are your lessons done?

Cure For Life

Song Lyrics on Allspirit

James Grant

On a morning just like this
of eternal sun and rime
You placed your kiss upon my lips
for the first time.

Your heart was the cradle
at the point of the knife
In your beauty I found the cure for life

In the Indian summer haze
I see your colours everywhere
You’re always just around the corner
on these days.

Your heart was the cradle
at the point of the knife
In your beauty I found the cure for life

In the blind and breathless dusk
You crawled inside the husk
Of my broken dream
made me believe again in love.

On a morning just like this
threw my past onto the pyre
You were the light that lit my way
out of the mire

Your heart was the cradle
at the point of the knife
In your beauty I found the cure for life

Recover Your Soul

Gill Washington Elton John, Song Lyrics Allspirit , , , , 0 Comment

Music by Elton John Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album The Big Picture

Baby you’re missing something in the air
I got a name but it don’t matter
What’s going on, it’s cold in here
You have a life but it’s torn and tattered

Maybe you’re losing pieces of your heart
You have a world but it stopped turning
You lose the day and gain the dark
Love was a fire but it stopped burning

Spare your heart, save your soul
Don’t drag your love across the coals
Find your feet and your fortune can be told
Release, relax, let go
And hey now let’s recover your soul

Lazy old sunset sinking like a tear
Alone at night in a losing battle
That perfect world is never clear
You have to fight for the things that matter

Spare your heart, save your soul
Don’t drag your love across the coals
Find your feet and your fortune can be told
Release, relax, let go
And hey now let’s recover your soul

May Wind

Gill Washington Love, Poems, Sara Teasdale, Spirituality , , 0 Comment

By Sara Teasdale

I SAID, “I have shut my heart
As one shuts an open door,
That Love may starve therein
And trouble me no more.”

But over the roofs there came
The wet new wind of May,
And a tune blew up from the curb
Where the street-pianos play.

My room was white with the sun
And Love cried out in me,
“I am strong, I will break your heart
Unless you set me free.”
