Lyrics Cat Stevens - Morning Has Broken

Lyrics Cat Stevens - Morning Has Broken

Morning has broken like the first morning,
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird.
Praise for the singing,
Praise for the morning,
Praise for them springing fresh from the world.

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven,
Like the first dewfall on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden,
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass.

Mine is the sunlight,
Mine is the morning,
Born of the one light Eden saw play.
Praise with elation, praise ev'ry morning,
God's recreation of the new day.

Morning has broken...

Lyrics Cat Stevens - Katmandu

Lyrics Cat Stevens - Katmandu

I sit beside the dark
Beneath the mire
Cold gray dusty day
The morning lake
Drinks up the sky

Katmandu I'll soon be seeing you
And your strange bewildering time
Will hold me down

Pass me my hat and coat
Lock up the cabin
Slow night treat me right
Until I go
Be nice to know

Katmandu I'll soon be touching you
And your strange bewildering time
Will hold me down

La la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la

Chop me some broken wood
We'll start a fire
White warm light the dawn
And help me see
Old Satan's tree

Katmandu I'll soon be touching you
And your strange bewildering time
Will keep me home

Lyrics Cat Stevens - Sitting

Lyrics Cat Stevens - Sitting

Oh I'm on my way I know I am,
Somewhere not so far from here
All I know is all I feel right now,
I feel the power growing in my hair

Sitting on my own not by myself,
Everybody's here with me
I don't need to touch your face lo know,
And I don't need to use my eyes to see

I keep on wondering if I sleep too long,
Will I always wake up the same (or so)?
I keep on wondering if I sleep to long,
Will I even wake up the same or something

Oh I'm on my way I know I am,
But times there were when thought not
Bleeding half my soul in bad company,
I thank the moon I had the strength to stop

I'm not making love to anyone's wishes,
Only for that light I see
Cause when I'm dead and lowered low in my grave,
That's gonna be the only thing that's left of me

And if I make it to the waterside,
Will I even find me a boat (or so)?
And I if I make it lo the waterside,
I'll be sure to write you note or something

Oh I'm on my way I know I am,
Somewhere not so far from here
All I know is all I feel right now,
I feel the power growing In my hair

Oh life is like a maze of doors
And they all open from the side you're on
Just keep on pushing hard boy, try as you may
You're going to wind up where you started from
You're going to wind up where you started from

Lyrics Cat Stevens - Home

Lyrics Cat Stevens - Home

Home on a kite we fly,
Home on a breeze we blow
Eying the folks below and
Watching everybody run,
Each one heading for a different place
Watching everybody hide,
Each behind a different face

Home where the days are long
Back where the people are free,
Home where all sides agree and,
Everybody has a friend, oh
And no one ever has to grab
Everybody shares the love,
Giving everything they have.

Forever forever your lamp will burn
Forever home forever would that you'd learn
That you came with nothing
So with nothing you'll return

Home
You know you're not alone
It's only 'cause you're not a home
That you feel so out of place.
Forever forever your lamp will burn
Forever home forever would that you'd learn

That you came with nothing
So with nothing you'll return

Home where all the mums can sing,
Back where the children don't cry,
Home where you never ask why and
Everybody has enough, and ya don't have to put on clothes
Nobody has to hide 'case everyone already knows.

Lyrics Cat Stevens - The Hurt

Lyrics Cat Stevens - The Hurt

You say you want to seek the truth, but it's hard to find
No one to help you, your friends don't have the time
So you ride around in your car, switch on the radio
You want to relate to something you once read in a book
What kind of a way to try to take a look

Until I got hurt I was looking, I was on my way
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I painted my face grey
Until I got hurt, 'til I got hurt, why didn't I
I didn't think of this until I got hurt
'Till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is

You say you want to learn to laugh 'cause music makes you cry
But the tears you shed are only in your eye
So you turn to any phony mouth with a tale to tell
But he's just a hoaxer don't you know, selling peace and religion
Between his jokes and his karma chewing gum

Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was the same as you
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, I did not know what to do
Until I got hurt, 'till I got hurt, why didn't [
I didn't think of this until I got hurt
'Till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is

Young son, don't let me down, young son
I'm trusting you to keep on, never turn away now
Hold on, never let go, now hold on
Turn your heart to the bright sun
Love will come your way
Cause 'till you make that final show
You'll never know what love you've been missing
Missing

You say you want to seek the truth but you work alone
No one to help you and nobody to push you on
So you sit at home drinking your wine, television on
You wait for a miracle, 'cause you say one day one'll come along
( But wishful thinking, boy) any minute now ! You might be gone
I'd like to help you brother but that would be wrong

Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was on my way
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I didn't know which way
Until I got hurt, 'till I got hurt, why didn't I
I didn't think of this until I got hurt
'Till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is

Until I got hurt, oh I didn't know what love is

Lyrics Cat Stevens - How Can I Tell You

Lyrics Cat Stevens - How Can I Tell You

How can I tell you
That I love you,
I love you
But I can't think of right words to say

I long to tell you
That I'm always thinking of you...
I'm always thinking of you,
But my words just blow away,
Just blow away

It always ends up to one thing, honey
And I can't think of right words to say

Wherever I am girl,
I'm always walking with you
I'm always walking with you,
But I look and you're not there

Whoever I'm with,
I'm always, always talking to you
I'm always talking to you,
And I'm sad that you can't hear,
Sad that you can't hear

It always ends up to one thing, honey,
When I look and you're not there

I need to know you,
Need to feel my arms around you
Feel my arms around you,
Like a sea around a shore

Each night and day I pray,
In hope that I might find you,
In hope that I might find you,
Because heart's can do no more
Can do no more

It always ends up to one thing, honey,
Still I kneel upon the floor

How can I tell you
That I love you,
I love you
But I can't think of right words to say

I long to tell you
That I'm always thinking of you
I'm always thinking of you....

It always ends up to one thing, honey
And I can't think of right words to say

Lyrics Cat Stevens - Hard Headed Woman

Lyrics Cat Stevens - Hard Headed Woman

(A Hard hard hard)

I'm looking for hard headed woman
One who'll take me for myself
And if I find my hard headed woman
I won't need nobody else, no no no!

I'm looking for hard headed woman (headed woman)
One who'll make me do my best
And if I find my hard headed woman
I know the rest of my life will be blessed yes (yes) yes yes

I know a lot of fancy dancers
People who can glide you on the floor
They move so smooth but have no answers (Ooo oooo oo oo)
When you ask them - What you come here for?
I don't know - Why?

(Head headed woman)

I know! Many fine feathered friends
But their friendliness depends on how you do
They know!
Many sure fired ways
to find out the one who pays
and how you do

I'm looking for hard headed woman (headed woman)
One who will make me fell so goo-oo-oood
And if I find my hard headed woman
I know my life will be as it should yes yes yes

I'm looking for hard headed woman (headed woman)
One who'll make me do my best
And if I find my hard headed woman...

Lyrics Cat Stevens - School Is Out

Lyrics Cat Stevens - School Is Out

School is out now we're gonna have some fun.
We're gonna make like we are the only ones.

I'm gonna buy a piece of the sky
And sell passin' clouds.
I'm gonna be a mayor of some small town
And tax the crowds.
I'm gonna be a local surveyor
And study the foreman's girl.
I'm gonna line up some of the finest
Girls that are in the world.

We're comin' out of school today
And we're so happy, yes, to be alive.
It's gonna be the best day,
The best day of our lives.

I'm gonna be a history maker
And call myself Richard the Third.
I'm gonna buy an amplifier
And shout out "Have you heard?"

We're comin' out of school today
And we're so happy, yes, to be alive.
It's gonna be the best day,
The best day of our lives.

We're comin' out of school today, baby,
We're comin' out of school today.
Hey, comin' out of school today.
Oh, out, out, School is out, a school is out, out.

Lyrics Cat Stevens - Last Love Song

Lyrics Cat Stevens - Last Love Song

If you don't love me
Please don't treat me this way
Cause I can't stand it
I see our love slipping away
Did you think you could just put me down
Like a worn out shoe
Cause if you don't want me
Maybe I don't want you

If you don't need me
Don't leave me out in the cold
Eyes drifting by me
Like somebody you don't know
Did you think that you could just walk away
Anytime you wanted to
Cause if you don't love me
Maybe I don't love you

Did you think that you could just put me down
For somebody new
Cause nobody can love you girl like I do
Every little bird in the sky
Would sing a song of love

If you would just take me back
Come on open up your heart again
Let me in baby baby

If you don't love me
Stop fooling yourself
No more acting
I know your show too well
Did you think that you could just shake my hand
With a how d'y'do
Cause if you don't want me
Maybe I don't want you

Oh and as you go through life
It's the little things that come back again
If you came back again
You know I'd give my loving to you

Lyrics Cat Stevens - Maybe You're Right

Lyrics Cat Stevens - Maybe You're Right

Now maybe you're right and maybe you're wrong
But I ain't gonna argue with you no more
I've done it for too long.
It was getting so good why then, where did it go?
I can't think about it no more tell me if you know.
You were loving me, I was loving you
But now there ain't nothing but regretting
Nothing, nothing but regretting everything we do.

I put up with your lies like you put up with mine,
But God knows we should have stopped somewhere,
We could have taken the time,
But time has turned, yes, some call it the end.
So tell me, tell me did you really love me like a friend?
You know you don't have to pretend,
It's all over now It'll never happen again, no no no,
It'll never happen again , it won't happen again
Never, never, never, it'll never happen again
No, no, no, no

So maybe you're right, and maybe you're wrong
But I ain't gonna argue with you no more
I've done it for too long.
It was getting so good why then, where did it go?
I can't think about it no more tell me if you know.
You were loving me, I was loving you
But now there ain't nothing but regretting
Nothing, nothing but regretting everything we do.

Lyrics Cat Stevens - I'm So Sleepy

Lyrics Cat Stevens - I'm So Sleepy

I'm so sleepy, yeah
I'm so sleepy, yeah
I could lay my head on a piece of lead
And imagine it was a springy bed
'Cause I'm sleepy, sleepy

Soon I'm gonna slip away
In the night I feel it creeping, creeping, creeping

I'm so sleepy yeah
I'm so sleepy yeah
I could lay my head on a piece of lead
And imagine it was a springy bed
'Cause I'm sleepy, sleepy

I can't keep my mind away from my dreams,
I hear them calling, calling, calling
Soon I'm gonna slip away
Soon I'm gonna slip away
Soon I'm gonna slip away
In the night I'm gonna slip away
I won't fight it, I'll just ride it

I'm so sleepy yeah
I'm so sleepy yeah
I could lay my head on a piece of lead
And imagine it was a springy bed
'Cause I'm sleepy, sleepy
Yeah

Lyrics Cat Stevens - The View From The Top

Lyrics Cat Stevens - The View From The Top

The view from the top can be oh so very lonely
And you can be missing such a lot that could be yours

Why can't I stop forgetting myself?
Why am I always trying to be like somebody else
Why can't I love you?
Why bother flying high above you
I know where you are

The view from the top can be oh so very lonely
And you can be missin' such a lot that could be yours

And who's going to miss me?
There'll only be myself to blame
You know I'd love to hold you tight
And love you all the night
But I don't even know my name

La la la da la

Why can't I stop forgetting myself?
Why am I always trying to be like somebody else?
Why can't I love you?
Why bother flying high above you
I know where you are

The view from the top can be oh so very lonely
And you can be missin' such a lot that could be yours

Lyrics Cat Stevens - But I Might Die Tonight

Lyrics Cat Stevens - But I Might Die Tonight

I don't want to work away
Doing just what they all say
Work hard boy and you'll find
One day you'll have a job like mine

'Cause I know for sure
Nobody should be that poor
To say yes or sink low
Because you happen to say so, say so, you say so

I don't want to work away
Doing just what they all say
Work hard boy and you'll find
One day you'll have a job like mine, job like mine, a job like mine

Be wise, look ahead
Use your eyes he said
Be straight, think right
But I might die tonight!

Lyrics Cat Stevens - Honeyman

Lyrics Cat Stevens - Honeyman

I want to be your honey man
I want to be, I want to be your honey man
To wash your clothes and hold your hand
I want to be, I want to be your honey man

You've got a lot
But all of your money and stuff
Just isn't enough to buy what I can give
When things get rough
And all of your friendliest friends
Are turning to dust

We will live
You know I'll give you the world
I'll sacrifice girl anything
I'll do it all on my own, believe me

Lyrics Cat Stevens - It's A Super Life

Lyrics Cat Stevens - It's A Super Life

See the funny little people running 'round in circles
Throwing bombs as they do
See the funny side of it
They're heading straight for you

See the funny little holes they're making
Looking like craters on the moon
See the funny side of it
We'll be living in them soon

But it's a super life, a super dupa dupa life we live
Yes it's a super life, a super dupa dupa life we live
But it's getting pretty near the end
Cause with a super life you will borrow everything you lend
So there's never anything to spend
You're broke, you dope you

See the funny little flying saucers we found
Painted up just for you
See the funny man inside
His color matches too

See the silly little camera he loves
Shooting pictures with all day
See the funny side of it
His friends are on their way

But it's a super life, a super dupa dupa life we live
Yes it's a super life, a super dupa dupa life we live
But it's getting pretty near the end
Cause with a super life you will borrow everything you lend
So there's never anything to spend
You're broke, you dope you

Baby it's a super life, a super dupa dupa life we live
Yes it's a super life, a super dupa dupa life we live

Lyrics Cat Stevens - Sweet Scarlet

Lyrics Cat Stevens - Sweet Scarlet

Once she came into my room, feathered hat an' all
Wearing a warm wool shawl wrapped around her shoulders
Two eyes like lights, milky marble whites looking up at me
Looking for a way, Moons in an endless day

All I knew was with her then, no couldn't see the time
As we drank down the wine to the last Sweet Scarlet
How was I to wonder why or even question this
Underneath her her kiss I was so unguarded
Every bottle's empty now and all those dreams are gone
Ah, but the song carries on, so holy

She was so much younger then, wild like the wind
A gypsy with a grin from and old far away country
but deep beneath her curls,
Beneath this misty pearl, there was more to see

She could move mountains in the dark as silent as a knife
She cut loose a life that she never no never really wanted
All those days are frozen now and all those scars are gone
Ah, but the song carries on, so holy

Come let us drink again, before the second show
I want you so to know there's no bridge between us
All those gates have opened now, and through the light has shone
Ah, but the song carries on, so holy

Lyrics Cat Stevens - Can't Keep It In

Lyrics Cat Stevens - Can't Keep It In

Oh I can't keep it in can't keep it in
I've gotta let it out.

I've got to show the world, world's got to see.
See all the love, love that's in me, I said
Why walk alone. Why worry when it's warm over here.
You got so much to say, say what you mean.
Mean what you're thinkin', and think anything.
Oh why, why must you waste you're life away.

You've got to live for today, then let it go, oh
Lover, I want to spend this time with you.
There's nothing I wouldn't do, if you let me know.
And I can't keep it in, I can't hide it and
I can't lock it away.

I'm up for your love, love heats my blood
Blood spins my head, and my head falls in love.
No I can't keep it in, I can't keep it in
I've gotta let it out

I've got to show the world, world's got to know,
Know of the love, love that lies low,
So why can't you say, if you know then why can't you say
You've got too much deceit, and deceit kills the light.
Light, needs has to shine,
I said shine light, shine light.
Love, that no way to live you life.

You allow too much to go by, and that won't do, no
Lover, I want to have you here by my side
Now don't you run don't you hide
while I'm with you now I can't keep it in,
I can't keep it in I gotta let it out

I've gotta show the world, worlds's got to see see all the love,
love that's in me I said why walk alone
Why worry when it's warm over here
You got so much to say, say what you mean
Mean what you're thinkin' and thing anything, why not?
Now why why why not?

Lyrics Cat Stevens - Come On Baby

Lyrics Cat Stevens - Come On Baby

Why don't you come over?
It's lonely at the wooden lodge
Why don't you come and see our baby?
You haven't seen her for so long

Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me

There in the back woods
We had our little piece of land
But everything wasn't so groovy
Not when you had to dirty your hands

Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me

It's lonely at the wooden lodge
So why don't you share my bed

Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me

Lyrics Cat Stevens - The Tramp

Lyrics Cat Stevens - The Tramp

He sleeps alone in the damp
And rests his head upon a door
The only bed he knows is the floor,

The tramp
Turned up collar and worn out shoes
He doesn't care 'cause he hasn't got nothing to lose

He sleeps alone in the damp
And rests his head upon a door
The only bed he knows is the floor,

The tramp
No companion to take him home
His only friends are the kind that just leave him alone
No one knows just how lonely his life has been
In a world that lives in a dream

He sleeps alone in the damp
And rests his head upon a door
The only bed he knows is the floor,

The tramp
