Dear lord be good to me, the sea is so wide
Dear lord be good to me, my boat is so small

Oh God who lives beyond the place of thunder and rainbows
God who blows the western wind and calms the raging waves
God who shakes the mountains and pours fire on the sea
God who blows the howling wind, take care of me

Show you heart and show your face
Do not let me fall from grace

Dear lord be good to me, the sea is so wide
Dear lord be good to me, my boat is so small

I may not have the clothes of silk, or money of silver
I may not have a home made out of marble or clay
I know I have no armor to protect me from the storm
Oh God whose power burns the sun, please keep me warm

Show you heart and show your face
Do not let me fall from grace

Let me see the radiance of sun upon dark clouds
Let me see the silver dancing stars
Let me see the moon as she dances in your sky
Let me see your face amid the crowds

As the sun can rise at dawn up from the cloudy sea
As the day can break form darkest night
Let me find the rainbows end that follow the thunder
Through my tears against the wind teach me to begin again

Show you heart and show your face
Do not let me fall from grace

Dear lord be good to me, the sea is so wide
Dear lord be good to me, my boat is so small

The Fisherman Song

The fisherman are pitching pennies
In the sand beside the sea
The sunrise hits their oilskin boots
And their painted boats and me
They seem to know the ocean
Like a man knows a woman
She makes him wait around for half the morning
For the tide to turn

Pull on the ropes, Seine haul fisherman
Never catches more than he knows
He can sell in a day;
Pull on the ropes, Seine haul fisherman
Day's for work. Night's the time to go dancing

They're drinking beer and laughing
And squinting at the sun
Waiting for the gulls to tell them
When the fish will come
Their faces brown and weathered
From all the nets they've run
They've learned to wait
They always know that the tide will turn

Pull on the ropes, Seine haul fisherman
Never catches more than he knows
He can sell in a day;
Pull on the ropes, Seine haul fisherman
Day's for work. Night's the time to go dancing

Way out on the ocean
The big ships hunt for whales
The Japanese have caught so many
That now they hunt for snails
My fisherman's not greedy
He seems content to live
With the sun and the sand
And a net full of fish when the tide turns

Pull on the ropes, Seine haul fisherman
Never catches more than he knows
He can sell in a day;
Pull on the ropes, Seine haul fisherman
Day's for work. Night's the time to go dancing

Pull on the ropes, Seine haul fisherman
Never catches more than he knows
He can sell in a day;
Pull on the ropes, Seine haul fisherman
Day's for work. Night's the time to go dancing

The Rest Of Your Life

Every mother has to let he child go
Even though it may tear her apart
I can hear the lullabies I sang you
Now you stand taller than my heart

You know you can break my heart so easily
You can make my day with just a smile
One word from you can melt the winter snow
Make me forget the longest mile

Whatever you're doin for the rest of your life
I'm here to tell you, you can count on me
No use my worryin, I know you can fly
I've gotta let you go, gotta set you free
I've gotta set you free

The road we walked was never easy
I know I stumbled on the way
I thought I knew what I was doing
When I was wrong you had to pay

I hope by now you can forgive me
And take the good I had to give
I was too young to be your teacher
We learned together how to live

Whatever you're doin for the rest of your life
I'm here to tell you, you can count on me
No use my worryin, I know you can fly
I've gotta let you go, gotta set you free

I only hope you will be happy
I want the very best for you
The only prize that's worth the battle
Is finding love you know is true

Whatever you're doin for the rest of your life
I'm here to tell you, you can count on me
No use my worryin, I know you can fly
I've gotta let you go, gotta set you free

The Life You Dream

Words and Music by Judy Collins

There's a time that comes once every morning
When you choose the kind of day you will have
It comes in with the sun and you know you've begun
To live the life you dream
You can light all your candles to the dawn
And surrender yourself to the sunrise
You can make it wrong you can make it right
You can live the life you dream

Pray to Buddha pray to Krishna pray to Jesus
Or the shadow of the devil on your wall
Anyone you call...will come...

The night comes to you dressed in darkness
Descends on your body like a blessing
You can lie in its arms it will heal your heart
You can life the life you dream
You can wake in this vale of tears
You can laugh like a child again
You can make it right you can make it wrong
You can live the life you dream

What you see and you believe is not the answer
To anything that matters very much
Anything you touch...is gone

In the valleys you look for the mountains
In the mountains you search the rivers
You have no where to go you are where you belong
You can live the life you dream
If you call him your master will find you
Seven bars on the gate will not hold him
Seven fires burning bright only give him delight
You can live the life you dream

All your treasure buys you nothing but the moment
All your poverty has lost you everything
Love will teach your dream...to sing

The Test Of Time

Anastasia woman in the cold of the desert night
The fire in the cave is burning hard and bright
Three days her lover hunted on the plains
She never knew if he would ever come home again

So she could feed the flame of love and then
Hold him in her arms again
Make the demons all depart
Heal the wounds that break the heart

A love that lasts is hard to find
Like the harmony in an old design
But the love of a good woman
The love a good woman
Stands the test of time

Woman on a cliff at the break of a winters day
A baby at her breast and her lover far away
Watches the horizon for the curving sails to rise
Across the water and through the stormy skies

He returns at last from the battle field
Where death has marched with a Christian shield
She will make the demons all depart
Heal the wounds that break the heart

A love that lasts is hard to find
Like the harmony in an old design
But the love of a good woman
The love a good woman
Stands the test of time

The brittle will be broken
And the supple will survive
Men are born to fight in armour
Women born to stay alive
Behind every veil of tears
There is a sister of a thousand years

High in a canyon where the city meets the stars
My face against the window and my dreams that reach so far
Back to the women whose spirits so fierce and fine
Whose warriors fought for a love like yours and mine

Oh we are all the guardians
And everyday we start again
To make the demons all depart
Heal the wounds that break the heart

A love that lasts is hard to find
Like the harmony in an old design
But the love of a good woman
The love a good woman
Stands the test of time

A love that lasts is hard to find
Like the harmony in an old design
But the love of a good woman
The love a good woman
Stands the test of time

A love that lasts is hard to find
Like the harmony in an old design
But the love of a good woman
The love a good woman
Stands the test of time

This Time

This time I'm gonna get it right
This time I'm gonna get win
This time I'm gonna know the score
Before I begin
This is the chance of a lifetime
This is the real big break
This time I can't make a mistake

Long enough I've lived in the dark
Now it's time for the light
For too often I have been wrong
This time I'll be right
I got a feeling in my bones
For once I'm wide awake
This time I can't make a mistake

This is the way it meant to be in the first place
Out in the front line looking in the eye
I always knew that someday I'd see the really big race
Everything is rolling look at me I'm ready to fly

Now I know, I know it for sure
This bright day is for me
I have my doubts in the past
Now I know I am free
I don't mind shouting it out loud
Finally I see the day break
This time I can't make a mistake
This time I'll get it right
This time is my night
This time

Trust Your Heart

Words and Music by Judy Collins

In the sky the phantom moon appears at midday

To join the sun in some forgotten dance

In their light our voices tremble with reflections
Of what we know and what we leave to chance

The heart can see beyond the sun
Beyond the turning moon
And as we look
The heart will teach us
All we need to learn

We have dreams, we hold them to the light like diamonds
Stones of the moon and splinters of the sun

Some we keep to light the dark nights on our journey
And shine beyond the days that we have won

The heart can see beyond our prayers
Beyond our fondest schemes
And tell us which are made for fools
And which are wise men's dreams

Trust your heart

Trust your heart

Voices

Once upon a time in another world
on a hill that overlooked the sea
there was once a garden of beauty and of grace
lovely as a dream could ever be.

Then the roses bled and the lilies broke
on the day that death came to the garden
hidden in the flowers, meant to break the heart
flames that burst like blossoms in the garden.

Can't you hear the voices from across the sea
Calling from the ruins of the garden
Calling out to you, calling out to me,
Save us from the darkness that has fallen
On our lovely garden

Name them all by heart, name them one by one
Countries where a child has lost tomorrow
Count the deadly flowers in the fields and woods
Count them like a rosary of sorrow.

Can't you hear the voices from across the sea
Calling from the ruins of the garden
Calling out to you, calling out to me,
Save us from the darkness that has fallen
On our lovely garden.

Where the children played in the summer light
Running through the flowers on the hill
Laughter in their voices, hope within their hearts
Knowing they would live forever more.

I have seen a child barely five or six,
Counting bombs and tears, his childhood broken,
Give him back the garden, give him back his life
Give him back a world where love is spoken.

Let us join our voices far across the sea
Singing all together of the garden,
Let the roses bloom, let the lillies grow,
Let us live together for the children,
In our lovely garden.
