Darling around you


from the ABC set a moondance

Do you see the longing in her eyes?
Do you see the beauty of her spirit?
Do you know the hunger in my heart?
Do you know the hunger in my soul?
Will it wrong her if I brought her rhymes in summer?
Will it wrong her if I whirl my words around her?

Will you let me run my words around you run my words all around you girl swiftly run them run them around and around you and all around you whirl my words around you can I whirl my words around you and around you girl swiftly whirl them around and around you swiftly around and around around darling around you

Can I give you hope can I give you courage after dusk?
Can I bring you hope can I bring you love in autumn?
Should I rhyme girl should I try will I win your heart?
Should I rhyme girl should I try will I win your hand?
Oh let me bring you solace let me bring you comfort in the night
Oh let me swirl my lines let me freely flow my love around you

Oh let me run my words around you darling run my words freely around and around you let me run them around you darling freely freely freely around you let me wrap my rhyme wrap my rhyme around you oh let me wrap my rhyme around you freely freely all around you freely wrap it around you and around and darling around you

Can I bring you words can I bring you courage in the winter?
Can I give you dreams and visions in the night?
Was it fair I played and that I’d won your heart?
Was it fair I’d court and that I’d won your hand?
Oh tender let me gently wrap my rhyme around you
Oh darling let me wrap you in a shroud of wonder

Let me run my words around you darling oh let me run my words swiftly around around and around you swiftly all around you oh let me wrap my dreams tender around you let me wrap my dreams around you around you tender oh let me wrap them wrap them around and around and around you tightly tightly tightly darling around you

I give you circles at dawn
I give you circles in spring
Will you give your hand dear?
Will you give your heart?
Can I ring this ring dear?
Can I ring it firmly dear?

So let me whirl my words dear whirl my words whirl them whirl them and whirl them around you let me whirl a ring of rhythm darling let me whirl a ring of rhythm around you swiftly swiftly darling darling around you

For Miranda

Beautifully put

DO you see the longing in her eyes?
Do you see the beauty of her spirit?
Do you know the hunger in my heart?
Do you know the hunger in my soul?
Will it wrong her if I brought ryhmes
in summer?
Will it wrong her if my words whirl
around her.

Underneath the lantern by the barrack gate,
Darling I remember the way you used to wait,
'Twas there that you whispered tenderly,
That you loved me, you'd always be,
My Lili of the lamplight,
My own Lili Marlene.

Time would come for roll call, time for us to part,
Darling I'd caress you and press you to my heart,
And there 'neath that far off lantern light,
I'd hold you tight, we'd kiss "good-night,"
My Lili of the lamplight,
My own Lili Marlene.

Orders came for sailing somewhere over there,
All confined to barracks was more than I could bear;
I knew you were waiting in the street,
I heard your feet, but could not meet,
My Lili of the lamplight,
My own Lili Marlene.

Resting in a billet just behind the line,
Even tho' we're parted your lips are close to mine;
You wait where that lantern softly gleams,
Your sweet face seems to haunt my dreams,
My Lili of the lamplight,
My own Lili Marlene.

When we are marching in the mud and cold,
And when my pack seems more than I can hold,
My love for you renews my might,
I'm warm again, my pack is light,
It's you Lili Marlene,
It's you Lili Marlene...

Can you meet me in the country
In the summertime in England?

Will you meet me?

We'll go riding up to Kendal in the country
In the summertime in England

With your red robe dangling all around your body
You’ll be happy dancin’

Won't you meet me down Bristol
We'll go ridin' down

Down by Avalon

With your red robe danglin' all around your body free

Let your red robe go
Let your red robe go
Let your red robe go

Willl you meet me?

Holy Magnet
Give you attraction
Yea, I was attracted to you.
Your coat was old, ragged and worn
And you wore it down through the ages
Ah the sufferin' did show in your eyes as we spoke
And the gospel music
The voice of Mahalia Jackson came through the ether

Say call me the common one

Let your red robe go let your red robe go

Won't you meet me down by Avalon
In the summertime in England
In the Church of St John
Did you ever hear about Jesus walkin'
Jesus walkin' down by Avalon?

Can you feel the light of England?

Take a walk with me
And I will show you

It ain't why, why, why
Why, why, why, why, why

It just is It just is It just is
It just is It just is It just is

Can you feel the light?
I want to go to church and say
In your soul
Ain't it high?

Put your head on my shoulder

And you listen to the silence
Listen to the silence

Can you hear the silence?
Can you hear the silence?

Outside the barracks by the corner light
I'll always stand and wait for you at night
We will create a world for two
I'll wait for you the whole night through
For you, Lili Marlene
For you, Lili Marlene

Bugler tonight, don't play the Call To Arms
I want another evening with her charms
Then we will say goodbye and part
I'll always keep you in my heart
With me, Lili Marlene
With me, Lili Marlene

Give me a rose to show how much you care
Tied to the stem, a lock of golden hair
Surely tomorrow you'll feel blue
But then will come a love that's new
For you, Lili Marlene
For you, Lili Marlene

When we are marching in the mud and cold
And when my pack seems more than I can hold
My love for you renews my might
I'm warm again, my pack is light
It's you, Lili Marlene
It's you, Lili Marlene

My love for you renews my might
I'm warm again, my pack is light
It's you, Lili Marlene
It's you, Lili Marlene

Within the circle of your arms
I love to dance the night away
Within the circle of your tender embrace
I find a place I want to stay

When all the lights
Are turned down low
Except the love light in your eyes

§o§

Within the circle of your arms
In love’s tender embrace
There’s a place I want to stay

So honey never set me free
Within the circle
Of those arms that I love
You got the whole wide world for me

feels like, i'm standing in a timeless dream
of light mists, of pale amber rose
secret moments,
shared within the heat of the afternoon

out of the stillness, soft spoken words,

i love you, always forever
near or far, closer together
everywhere, i will be with you
everything, i will do for you

say you'll love and love me forever
never stop, never whatever
near and far and always everywhere,
and everything

say it, say it again,

i'll love you, always forever
near or far, closer together
everywhere, i will be with you
everything, i will do for you

i'll love you, always forever
near and far, closer together

Listen to the bugle hear its silv'ry call
Carried by the night air telling one and all
Now is the time to meet your girl
To meet your pearl, to meet your girl
~ ~
As once I met Marlene, my sweet Lili Marlene

Vor der Kaserne
Vor dem grossen Tor
Stand eine Laterne
Und steht sie noch davor
So wollen wir uns da widersehen
Bei der Laterne wollen wir stehen
~ ~
Wie einst Lili Marlene, wie einst Lili Marlene

Underneath the lantern by the barrack gate
Darling I remember the way you used to wait
It was there that you whispered tenderly
That you loved me, you'd always be
~ ~
My Lili of the lamplight, my own Lili Marlene

Unsere beide Schatten
Sahen wie einer aus
Daß wir so lieb uns hatten
Das sah man gleich daraus
Und alle Leute sollen es sehen
Wenn wir bei der Laterne stehen
~ ~
Mit dir Lili Marlene, mit dir Lili Marlene

Time would come for roll-call time for us to part
Darling I'd caress you and press you to my heart
Give me a rose to show how much you care
Tied to the stem, a lock of golden hair
~
Then I heard the bugler calling me away
By the gate I kissed her kissed her tears away
And by the flickering lantern light
I held her tight, it was our last night
~ ~
My last night with Marlene
My last night with Marlene

Deine Schritte kennt sie
Deinen schönen Gang
Alle Abend brennt sie
Doch mich vergaß sie lang
Und sollte mir ein Leids geschehen
Wer wird bei der Laterne stehen
~ ~
Wie einst Lili Marlene, wie einst Lili Marlene

Resting in a billet just behind the line
Even though we're parted, your lips are close to mine
You wait where that lantern softly gleams
Your sweet face seems, to haunt my dreams
~ ~
My Lili of the lamplight, my own Lili Marlene

Aus dem stillen Raume
Aus der erde Grund
Hebt mich wie im Traume
Dein verliebte Mund
Wenn sich die späten Nebel drehen
Werd ich bei der Laterne stehen
~ ~
Mit dir Lili Marlene, mit dir Lili Marlene

When we are marching in the mud and cold
And when my pack seems more than I can hold
My love for you renews my might
I'm warm again, my pack is light
~ ~
It's you Lily Marlene, my sweet Lili Marlene

Heaven, I'm in Heaven
And my heart beats so
That I can hardly speak
And I seem to find
The happiness I seek
When we're out together
Dancin' cheek to cheek

Yes Heaven, I'm in Heaven
And the cares that hung around me
Through the week
Seems to vanish
Like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together
Dancin' cheek to cheek

Oh I'd love to climb a mountain
And to reach the highest peak
But it doesn't thrill me half as much
As dancin' cheek to cheek

Oh I'd love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek
But I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancin' cheek to cheek

Now mama dance with me
I want my arms around you
Charms about you
Will carry me through
To Heaven, I'm Heaven

~
Heeaven, I'm in Heaaven
And my heart beats so
That I can hardly speak
And I seem to find
The happiness I seek
When we're out together
Dancin' cheek to cheek
