Do you hear the calling of a hundred thousand voice
Hear the trembling in the stone
Do you hear the angry bells ringing in the night
Do you hear the swallows when they’ve flown?

The music stopped in my hand
My hand
My hand
Sadly smiled the band
The band
The band
Softly echoes your laughter
Riddled with tears
When time is stolen it flies

22- The Love Inside.

21- February – JOAN BAEZ

20- Sweeter for me

Just one favor of you, my love
If I should die today
Take me down to where the hills
Meet the sea on a stormy day
Ride a ridge on a snow white horse
And throw my ashes away
To the wind and the sand
Where my song began

19- Marirott U.S.A.

18-  For Sasha

You in frozen streets of Heidelberg
Your youth unbearded takes form in words
And the ghosts of the past are kind
For this was your university
The years were long but the spirits free
And your river runs to the Rhine

  17- Coconuts

16- Edge of Glory

Still and lovely came the morning
Gone was my father’s face
In my house a bright reflection
New among my dreams of grace

My house stands at the edge of glory
Steady as the seasons change
Dreams of grace arise before me
And they call me home again

15-  Gulf Winds

14- Time rag

13- Kingdom of Childhood

The mountains rise above the mist
And the golden prince I’ve never kissed
He may die tonight
And why do I want to ride with
The prince whose alleged horse is white?
Because when we ride together
Our lives are cloaked forever

12- Luba the Baroness

Sing sorrow, sing sorrow
And you sleep in the valley
Where the wildflowers nod
Nobody knows you loved him
But yourself and God

10- North

9- The Hitchhiker’s Song

With hair just like the burning tree of Moses
The girl beside you is your twin
Behind your fiery make-up you should know this
I am your sister, I am your kin, your flesh and kin
I’ll write this tune
In matching phrases
Just to show it

8- Many Crimes of Cain

7- Recently

6- Gentle On My Mind

5- City of Angels

4- Boulder To Birmingham

Well you really got me this time
And the hardest part is knowing I’ll survive
I have come to listen for the sound
Of the trucks as they move down
Out on highway ninety five
And pretend that it’s the ocean
Coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean
Baby do you know what I mean

3- Pauvre Rutebeuf

2- Mi venganza personal

1- A tous les enfants
