Poor city

poor city has poor people
has no haystack and no needle
poor city's there for the needy
from all over the great land
people come to the city in the
sand

city without a name
crowded in the shade
crowded in the park
city without any larcs
where wooden birds are carved

city without any tears
city without any aim
city without any faith
where poverty's no shame
where pride has no place

poor city has only one kind
poorest people ever come to life
where stealin' is a way of life
where crime's committed in daylight
it's a poor sight here at night

Maybe I can care or even love

 

 

comin'

 

from the past reachin' in to my dream

 

you come to me in the shadow of my thought

 

maybe

 

I

 

can care or even love

 

as long as you stay, don't leave me again

 

as

 

you

 

did

 

when we were kids

 

took of an' you were gone,

 

you came in to my thought, when I least expected it

 

in

 

my dream you were caught

 

maybe I can care or even love

 

 

I

 

try to make you stay, I want to know where I can find you again

 

but

 

my dream's  fadin' not much time left

 

so tell me where you are, I want6 to know the place

 

'cause I really care

 

 

 

once

 

you were in my world, it's somethin' I can't shake

 

I

 

shuffle my deck o' cards

 

up

 

comes the queen o' hearts, yes, you belong in my heart

 

maybe now I can care or even love

 

 

many

 

do say a dream's no fake

 

come back to me tonight, to tell me exactly

 

wher it is you hide, 'cause I can feel somethin's  not right

 

once I know I'll come an' take you away

 

from

 

whatever it is, that keeps you caged,

 

in the shade

 

where we met, laughed, never realisin'

 

what we had

 

after

 

so much we shared

 

I

 

think I can care or even

 

love
