Cat Stevens - Longer boats

Tekst :

Longer boats are coming to win us
They re coming to win us, they re coming to win us
Longer boats are coming to win us
Hold on to the shore, they ll be taking the key from the door.

I don t want no god on my lawn
Just a flower I can help along
Cause the soul of no body knows
how a flower grows... Oh how a flower grows.

Chorus

Mary dropped her pants by the sand
And let a parson come and take her hand
But the soul of no body knows
Where the parson goes, where does the parson go?

Chorus

Addition verse performed in live version of this song... (Real Audio Excerpt)

Raise your mind up and look around
You can see them, yes they re looking down
From a lonely asteroid, in a vacant void.
Dyin , but not destroyed

Cat Stevens - Ceylon city

Tekst :

I m going home to the town where I was born
where little children laughed as they sang
a happy song
in the little town of Ceylon,
Ceylon city, Ceylon city

I ve got a boat , I hope it s still afloat
with rusty sails, and an old wooden oar
It goes along, in the little town of Ceylon

Ceylon City.....

My daddy will be waiting there
My sister will be combing down her silver hair
My mamma will be waiting there
serving lunch to my brother, but he s nowhere

Ceylon City....

Cat Stevens - Boy with moon

Tekst :

A gardener s daughter stopped me on my way, on the day I was to wed
It is you who I wish to share my body with she said
We ll find a dry place under the sky with a flower for a bed
And for my joy I will give you a boy with a moon and star on his head.
Her silver hair flowed in the air laying waves across the sun
Her hands were like the white sands, and her eyes had diamonds on.
We left the road and headed up to the top of the Whisper Wood
And we walked till we came to where the holy magnolia stood.
And there we laid cool in the shade singing songs and making love...
With the naked earth beneath us and the universe above.
The time was late my wedding wouldn t wait I was sad but I had to go,
So while she was asleep I kissed her cheek for cheerio.
The wedding took place and people came from many miles around
There was plenty merriment, cider and wine abound
But out of all that I recall I remembered the girl I met
Cause she had given me something that my hear could not forget.
A year had passed and everything was just as it was a year before...
As if was a year before...
Until the gift that someone left, a basket by my door.
And in there lay the fairest little baby crying to be fed,
I got down on my knees and kissed the moon and star on his head.
As years went by the boy grew high and the village looked on in awe
They d never seen anything like the boy with the moon and star before.
And people would ride from far and wide just to seek the word he spread
I ll tell you everything I ve learned, and Love is all...he said
