And the seasons, they go round and round,/ And the painted ponies go up and down./ We're captive on the carousel of time.
Tears and fears and feeling proud to say 'I love you' right out loud.
You know that it never has been easy/ Whether you do or do not resign/ Whether you travel the breadth of the extremities/ Or stick to some straighter line.
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels/ The dizzy dancing way you feel/ As every fairy tale comes real/ I've looked at love that way.
I remember that time you told me, you said""Love is touching souls."" Surely you touched mine 'Cause part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time. You're in my blood like holy wine, You taste so bitter and so sweet.
I remember that time you told me, you said "Love is touching souls." Surely you touched mine 'Cause part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time. You're in my blood like holy wine, You taste so bitter and so sweet.
Say, won't you stay; we'll put on the day and we'll talk in present tenses
I want to have fun. I want to shine like the sun. I want to be the one that you want to see. I want to knit you a sweater. I want to write you a love letter. I want to make you feel better. I want to make you feel free.
All my battles were with male egos. I’m just looking for equality, not to dominate. But I want to be able to control my vision.
They won't give peace a chance, that's just a dream some of us had
Depression can be the sand that makes the pearl. Most of my best work came out of it.
The only thing I have to give to make you smile, to win you with, are all the mornings still to live.
I don't understand why Europeans and South Americans can take more sophistication. Why is it that Americans need to hear their happiness major and their tragedy minor, and as jazzy as they can handle is a seventh chord? Are they not experiencing complex emotions?
I don't know who I am but you know, life is for learning.
