Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound Of Silence



Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dare
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools," said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence"

Taylor Swift - Love Story



We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

I see the lights
See the party, the ballgowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say hello
Little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's so real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes

Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town and I said

Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said

Marry me Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say yes

Oh oh
Oh oh oh

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

Eric Bibb - Pockets



I got a pocket for my keys
A pocket for my cash
One for my ticket in case I got to leave town fast
My favorite pocket
You know the one Im thinkin of
Is the pocket in my heart for your love
The pocket in my heart for your love.

I got a pocket for my pen
One for my book
A pocket for my glasses when I got to get a better look
But my favorite pocket
Said it from the start
Is the pocket for your love inside my heart
The pocket for your love inside my heart.

Before I met you baby
I had a pocket full of cares
Last time I looked
There wasnt any there.

I got a pocket for my comb
A pocket for my candy bar
One for my passport when Im travelin that far
But my favorite pocket
Fits just like a glove
Is the pocket in my heart for your love
The pocket in my heart for your love.

Since I met you baby
Ive been having so much fun
Writin love songs
And this ones almost done.

I got a pocket for my watch
A pocket for my silver flask
One for my wallet with the family photographs
And my favorite pocket,
Said it from the start
Is the pocket for your love inside my heart
The pocket for your love inside my heart.

I got a pocket for my cough drops
A pocket for my handkerchief
Before I gave it up, I had a pocket for my split
And my favorite pocket,
You know the one Im thinking of
Is the pocket in my heart for your love.
The pocket in my heart for your love

Im talking about the love pocket
Love pocket
I got it
Love pocket.

The 88 - All 'Cause of You



I've been sinking through the drain of love
lift my eyes to skies of up above
listen to me this is how I feel
since I knew you all my thoughts are real
you're the only one i wanna do
every thing's new
and it's all 'cause of you

I've been moving cause my heart is true
telling everyone I know bout you
tell your mama that you won't be home
let your daddy know you're not alone

all I wanna do is make you mine
I said i'd love you honey anytime
don't believe the things they say about me
and all those things you know i'd never be
you're the only one i wanna do
every thing's new
and it's all 'cause of you

now honey, honey, honey I can walk, walk, walk
I caught you kneeling in the alley with the baby talk
now listen to me baby if you can't sit still
I know your sister will

there ain't no blood on my hands love
there ain't no blood on my hands love
there ain't no blood on my hands love
the sun is up and I understand it's me
