Ich träumte Nacht und Tage und hab' mir vorgestellt Ich wär' statt einer Hexe die schönste Frau der Welt So manchen Trank hab' ich gebraut Doch für die wahre Schönheit wächst leider noch kein Kraut Doch für die wahre Schönheit wächst leider noch kein Kraut So manche Zaubernächte, die hab' ich zugebracht Reitend auf dem Besen wild durch die ganze Nacht Und flieg' ich so dahin Dann weiß ich ganz genau, wie wunderschön ich bin Dann weiß ich ganz genau, wie wunderschön du bist Auf meinen Gängen durch den wundervollen Wald Sprach Baum und Pflanze zu mir und zeigt ihr Wesen bald Ich lieb' sie allesamt Denn jede ist so eigen, das macht sie interessant Denn jede ist so eigen, das macht sie interessant In solchen Zaubernächten, da wurd' ich mir gewahr Dass Reiten auf dem Besen was ganz Besond'res war Und flieg' ich so dahin Dann weiß ich ganz genau, wie wunderschön ich bin Dann weiß ich ganz genau, wie wunderschön wir sind Dann weiß ich ganz genau, wie wu...

My mother came to Hazard when I was just seven Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes That boy's not right ... Three years ago when I came to know Mary First time that someone looked beyond the rumours and the lies And saw the man inside ... We used to walk down by the river She loved to watch the sun go down We used to walk along the river And dream our way out of this town ... No one understood what I felt for Mary No one cared until the night she went out walking alone And never came home ... Man with a badge came knocking next morning Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly Pointed right at me ... I swear I left her by the river I swear I left her safe and sound I need to make it to the river And leave this old Nebraska town I think about my life gone by And how it's done me wrong There's no escape for me this time All of my rescues are gone, long gone I swear I left her by the river I swear I left her safe and sound...

The king and his men, Stole the queen from her bed, And bound her in her bones. The seas be ours, and by the powers, Where we will, we'll roam. Yo, ho, all hands, Hoist the colours high. Heave ho, thieves and beggars, Never shall we die! Yo, ho, haul together, Hoist the colours high. Heave ho, thieves and beggars, Never shall we die! Some men have died, And some are alive, And others sail on the sea With the keys to the cage. And the Devil to pay, We lay to Fiddler's Green! The bell has been raised From its watery grave, Do you hear its sepulchral tone? A call to all, Pay heed the squall And turn your sail to home!

I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you She tied you to a kitchen chair She broke your throne, and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Baby I have been here before I know this room, I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you. I've seen your flag on the marble arch Love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah There was a time when you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show it to me, do you?
