The Lover Excuseth Himself Of Suspected Change.
THOUGH I regarded not
The promise made by me ;
Or passed not to spot
My faith and honesty :
Yet were my fancy strange,
And wilful will to wite,
If I sought now to change
A falcon for a kite.
All men might well dispraise
My wit and enterprise,
If I esteemed a pese1
Above a pearl in price :
Or judged the owl in sight
The sparhawk to excel ;
Which flieth but in the night,
As all men know right well.
Or if I sought to sail
Into the brittle port,
Where anchor hold doth fail
To such as do resort ;
And leave the haven sure,
Where blows no blustering wind ;
No fickleness in ure,2
So far-forth as I find.
No ! think me not so light,
Nor of so churlish kind,
Though it lay in my might
My bondage to unbind,
That I would leave the hind
To hunt the gander's foe.
No ! no ! I have no mind
To make exchanges so.
Nor yet to change at all ;
For think, it may not be
That I should seek to fall
From my felicity.
Desirous for to win,
And loth for to forego ;
Or new change to begin ;
How may all this be so ?
The fire it cannot freeze,
For it is not his kind ;
Nor true love cannot lese
The constance of the mind.
Yet as soon shall the fire
Want heat to blaze and burn ;
As I, in such desire,
Have once a thought to turn.

Santa Ana Winds
When the wind decides that its time to ride,
To spread a little hell through the heartland,
It takes a good long toke then it blows the smoke
Through the desert night c
And the wings of fire c
Keep climbin higher,
See the flames cuttin hard through the homeland,
It takes a mighty strong will to strip the chill from the desert night --
Youre wakened from your dream by a sirens scream,
Trapped by the walls that surround you --
Then its will to will, and you wonder still can you struggle free?
In a thousand ways, when you turn the phrase,
The winds like a love of a woman c
It takes a mighty mean bitch --
Some fire witch --
To set the night on fire
And the santa ana winds gonna have its way tonight
Nothing you can dos gonna change her mind c
And aint it a lot like love the way desire takes you in c
And stokes the fire like the santa ana wind
Now the air is calm, and the heart grows numb,
The ashes burn low in the heartland,
til again the wind starts closin in to set the night on fire
And the santa ana winds blowin cross my heart tonight
Nothing you can dos gonna change her mind --
And woman I want your love --
I need that passion deep within,
Like the ragin fire needs the santa ana wind
And the santa ana winds gonna take your life tonight
Nothing you can dos gonna change her mind --
And aint it a lot like love
The way desire takes you in --
Swept away with the santa ana wind

Knowing That You Dont Know...
you cant change the wind,
you cant change the rain.
you can change the tracks,
but you cant change the train.
you can change your mind,
but you cant change your heart.
you can change the light,
but you cant change the dark.
you can hold the truth,
but you cant hold a lie.
you just keep holding on,
until the day you die.
you can hold your peace,
but you cant hold the clock.
you can only hold the fire
until it gets too hot!
you can touch the earth,
but you cant touch the sky.
you can touch the feeling,
you cant touch the reason why.
you can touch your lover,
you cant touch the love.
sometimes knowing that you dont know,
just has to be enough!

Wind Of Change made me a call
To better my life, my inner, my all
To revive my Heart, my Mind, my Soul
Wind Of Change helped me to soar
To leave the cruel fields of War
To knock the Peaceful Heaven’s Door
Wind Of Change turned the last page of sadness
To begin in the Name Of GOD the well of gladness
To forget the mournful years of vanity, of darkness
Wind Of Change brought a warm breeze
To alter my cold, to put my Heart at ease
To give the Peace’s Hand a squeeze
Wind Of Change whispered softly in my ears
“Enigma, I’ll take away all your fears”
“From your cheeks I’ll wipe the trail of tears”
Wind Of Change changed my sail course
Helped my astray boat,
To navigate without Oars
To anchor it to the Right shores…

Change Your Mind
When you get weak, and you need to test your will
When lifes complete, but theres something missing still
Distracting you from this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Dont let another day go by without the magic touch
Distracting you (change your mind)
Supporting you (change your mind)
Embracing you (change your mind)
Convincing you (change your mind)
When youre confused and the world has got you down
When you feel used and you just cant play the clown
Protecting you from this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Dont let another day go by without the magic touch
Protecting you (change your mind)
Restoring you (change your mind)
Revealing you (change your mind)
Soothing you (change your mind)
You hear the sound, you wait around and get the word
You see the picture changing everything youve heard
Destroying you with this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Dont let another day go by without the magic touch
Destroying you (change your mind)
Embracing you (change your mind)
Protecting you (change your mind)
Confining you (change your mind)
Distracting you (change your mind)
Supporting you (change your mind)
Distorting you (change your mind)
Controlling you (change your mind)
Change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind, change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind (change your mind)
The morning comes and theres an odor in the room
The scent of love, more than a million roses bloom
Embracing you with this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Dont let another day go by without the magic touch
Embracing you (change your mind)
Concealing you (change your mind)
Protecting you (change your mind)
Revealing you (change your mind)
Change your mind, change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind, change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind, change your mind
Change your mind
Change your mind, change your mind
Change your mind
Change your mind, change your mind
Change your mind, change your mind

Sunday Girl
paints her sky light tangerine,
maple laughter evergreen,
frustrated, it's only believing,
and she knows who mind she blows
come on sunday girl
u'll never change the world
leave it girl let's go
guess the flowers know her name
brightest angels placed to shame
must hate her, she had them believing
and she knows wherever she blows
come on sunday girl
u'll never change the world
leave it girl let's go
keeps me high on her shelf
treats me like no one else
she wants me to fly
but i fall, and i fall
and i thought, i thought i had it all
come on sunday girl
u'll never change the world
leave it girl let's go!!

The driven flying Kite
sometimes I forget, the kite that I flew, has leave me to
trust in the wind, forgetting, the thread that knot between
you and me; rainy and sunny days mind the hour it blown
to the sky, as long the kite is ready to go
my way has gone for anything that hold you from me and
got a memory that last for a lifetime; the need to change the
mind that i still and i will love you, what ever it happen finds
that still you’re my purest dream, as star that gazes in the
milo of the sitting night, and a smile for me, indeed it begin
in your life
i am sure that together we will rise, for as the wings
of the dream fly high, everything is above that each we can’t
see; but surf in in all your speed in the stream of a traveling
in clouds, together we will go, in beyond the love of the sky
and as you came, i can’t believe my heart seems to go
behind for everything i can’t understand, until you hug in the
middle of the night, like time in all the time watching and
telling me that i will be alright
time has come and saying me that it might be you, that
kept me to quite, somehow those change my whole life to
hold and to go in what life would be, through the darkness
night i stay with you
just you tell me, that tomorrow is still a way of love
to love me, for each moment is a way to take me in your
Heart…in your life feel and tell me, to fly a kite with you and
share this today for today is way to conquer your loving
heart, love me then …..and….. hold you endlessly

If You Change Youre Mind
(eric carmen)
Well its all been said, its all over now
I guess that I should leave
cause theres nothin left for me to do
Except to set you free
So let me leave you now before I cry
Ill just go back to my room and hide
And never let no one else inside to
To do this again
But if you change your mind
Wont you take some time
And let me know that you
Still want me too
cause Ill wait night and day
Until you say that you have
Changed your mind
Wont you change your mind
If you should change your mind
Oh yeah
Well I tried so hard to be the one
That you were dreaming of
But I guess it wasnt quite enough
To make you fall in love
So walk away, leave me by myself
And let me crawl back into my shell
And be the me that I do so well
Before I met you
But if you change your mind
Wont you take some time
And let me know that you
Still want me too
cause Ill wait night and day
Until you say that you have
Changed your mind
Wont you change your mind
If you should change your mind
Oh yeah
Ill be waitin at home
Just a call me up on the phone
And Ill be by your side
Theres no reason to hide
If you need me just call
Dont you worry at all
But if this is the end
And I cant see you again
I just cant carry on
Its so hard when youre gone
Its so hard when youre gone
Oh oh, oh oh, oh no, oh!
Baby dont leave
Baby dont go
Oh baby dont go
Baby dont go now
Baby, dont leave me
Oh, baby dont go
Baby dont leave
Baby dont go now
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Baby dont go
Baby dont leave me
I need you so bad now
No, no, no, baby
I need you

If I Could Fall In Love
When I was young
I fell in love
She was a goddess
With a world inside of her mind
When she moved on
Something went wrong
She took my power
And the love I had inside
Now that I found you
I don't know how to
If I could fall
In love again
I'd fall in love with you
If I could change
A grain of sand
Into a pearl I would
I pray in time
I'll come to find
Away to break through
And save this heart of mine
You've waited long
If you can't hold on
I wouldn't blame you
I don't think I'd be that strong
What am I to do
If I can't have you
If I could fall
In love again
I'd fall in love with you
If I could change
A grain of sand
Into a pearl I would
You love me so
Even though I don't know
How do you deal
With a man like me
If I could fall
In love again
I'd fall in love with you
If I could change
A grain of sand
Into a pearl I would
I would

Hitch A Ride
Day is night in new york city
Smoke, like water, runs inside
Steel idle trees to pity
Every living things thats died
Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sun lights another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time
Oh yeah
Life is like the coldest winter
People freeze the tears I cry
Words of hail their minds are into
Ive got to crack this ice and fly
Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sun lights another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time
Oh yeah
Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sun lights another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time
Oh yeah

Don't Leave Me Now I'm In Love
Come and sit a while with me and talk
I need to have a word before you walk
Just before you go let me explain
That I love you
I know that this may come as a surprise
How do you think I felt when I realised?
It hit me like a bolt out of the sky
That I love you
You said that you were moving on
Come Saturday that you'd be gone
I thought of life without you and I cried
So finally I know who I
Am gonna love for all my life
So say you'll be mine
Please say I can change your mind
Don't leave, don't leave now I'm in love
Don't walk away from something that could have been so good
Don't leave, don't leave me now I know
I'll love you for forever, for all the stars above
Don't leave now I'm in love
Looking back on all the opportunity
I didn't have a clue that the girl was me
So listen to me now that things have changed
I love you
So suddenly my fate is sealed
'Cos only can make it real
So say you'll be mine
Please say I can change your mind
So don't leave, don't leave now I'm in love
Don't walk away from something that could have been so good
Don't leave, don't leave me now I know
I'll love you for forever, for all the stars above
Don't leave now I'm in love
Give me a chance to hold close 'cos...
I wanna feel that you're a part of me
Know how it feels to love you tenderly
Know that I'll never have to let you go
Don't leave me now I know
Don't leave me now I'm sure
Don't leave now I'm in love

Change Like The Weather
Boy if I didn't know better,
I'd say you change like the weather
For one day you're one thing,
Then the next you're another
Boy if today you were summer,
Then I bet tomorrow you'll be winter
Because today might be bad,
Then tomorrow will be a lot better
Boy if you're always going to change,
Will you keep the things you will arrange?
Nothing evere will be the same,
This won't ever be strange
You change like the weather,
From winter, fall, spring, and summer
A two way street you go down,
And yet without a doubt is another
If you'd make up your mind,
Then maybe I'd leave you and find
Something better and more constant,
But doing that I will have to leave my love behind

Forever
Slowly fading blue
The eastern hollows catch
The dying sun
Night time follows
Silent and black
Mirror pool mirrors
The lonely place
Where I meet you
See your head
In the fading light
And through the dark
Your eyes shine bright
And burn like fire
Burn like fire in Cairo
Burn like fire
Burn like fire in Cairo
Shifting crimson veil
Silken hips slide
Under my hand
Swollen lips whisper my name
And I yearn
You take me in your arms
And start to burn
F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O
Then the heat disappears
And the mirage
Fades away...

Blaze like a fire in Cairo
Blaze like a fire
Flare with a wonderful light

Driftin Away
With all of my heart, I know I could love you
But, with all of my soul, Im driftin away
With all of my mind, I know you could save me from myself and anything else,
With all of my strength, I wanna reach out for you
With every breath, I call out your name
With every step, I just wanna turn around and say
Baby make it okay
But Im so afraid
That youve forgiven me one too many times
And Im so afraid
To give my heart again, just to have a change of mind
And Im not quite sure that you can trust me
And I would hate to have you find me again
Baby, like the wind, driftin away
It blows and nobody knows where its going to
(Im driftin away)
It blows and nobody know what its gonna do
With all of my heart, I know I disappointed you
And although Im real sorry
I dont know how to save this time
But, if I would lose you
I know I would go completely out of my mind
Im running out of time
And Im so afraid that youve forgiven me one too many times
And Im so afraid to give my heart again just to have a change of mind
And Im not quite sure that you can trust me
And I would hate to have you find me again
Baby, like the wind, driftin away
It blow and nobody knows where its going to
(driftin away)
It blows and nobody knows what its gonna do
(you see my heart at night)
At night you can hear it cry as the tear drops fall from heavens eyes
(fallin down)
And somehow you know its true, these tears that fall are fallin for you
(fallin for you)
It blows and nobody knows wheres it going to
(fallin down)
It blows and nobody knows what its gonna do
At night you can hear it cry as the tear drops fall from heavens eyes
And somehow you know its true these tears that fall are for you

So I'm gone with the wind
I won't look back
When I head into the future
Set sail I'm all go
When to come I don't know
But now I feel I can do it all
But leaving you
It must be so
On my way now
At the turning point here
It's time now
I'm going into high gear
I know how
I'm gonna make it all clear
And leave without no fear
Now the time has come for you
you're on your way
You will change the world
whatever they might say

All the things you ever want to do
You will change your life and make it all

Had to be done while I still
Had power left
To fulfil the promises

On my way but
The road is long and winding
But I will find the path
I know it must be so
On my way now
At the turning point here
It's time now
I'm going into high gear
I know how
I'm gonna make it all clear
And leave without no fear
Now the time has come for you

You will change the world

You will change your life and make it all

Change your world now
I don't know how

If I just find a way

Change
you woke me up at 3:00 a.m.
to tell me about the fire
you said that she was more than a friend
you were consumed by your desire
CHORUS:
and so it goes
this too shall pass away
it cuts so strange
the only thing that stays the same
is change
your love was here but now its gone
and your eyes no longer want me
and now i can't hold back the dawn
and the truth that seems to haunt me
CHORUS
the only thing that stays the same
is change
the only thing that stays the same
is change
i'm not so sure where i have been
i don't know just where i'm going
hard as i hold it in my hand
i can't stop this wind from blowing
and so it goes
this too shall pass away
it cuts so strange
roll me away
it cuts so strange
the only thing that stays the same
is change

day after day
I let you down
promise you to change
then change my mind
and every time I promise you
it will all be fine
it won't be like this next time
the days you wait
turn into years
always wait
helpless tears
hopeless nights
and all the fears
it will always be like this
you give me everything you have
hoping it will someday be enough
to melt my heart
to make me fall in love
day after day
I let you down
promise you to change it all
then change my mind
and every time I promise you
soon be fine
it won't be like this next time
but tonight we play I think
the final set
I push to hard
and you crack
walk away
don't look back

you give me everything you have
knowing it can never be enough

too hard
too cold

Oh, you got to leave this town before its...
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
Too late to make the change.
Oo, yes, my friend, youre fadin fast, if you stay here you wont last.
Before your time has run astray, youve got to try to get away.
Oh, you got to leave this place before its...
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
Too late to make the change.
Too late, too late to make the change
Too late to make the change
Yes, its time to make the change, yes, its time to rearrange,
So, my friend, I join the fight for the things you know are right.
Oh, you got to leave this town before its...
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
Too late to make the change.
Too late, too late to make the change

Mother's Talk
My features form with a change in the weather
Weekend
We can work it out
My features form with a change in the weather
Weekend
We can work it out
When the wind blows
When the mothers talk
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the mothers talk
When the wind blows
We can work it out
It's not that you're not good enough
It's just that we can make you better
Given that you pay the price
We can keep you young and tender
Following in the footsteps of a funeral pyre
You were paid not listen now your house is on fire
Wake me up when things get started
When everything starts to happen
My features form with a change in the weather
Some of us horrified
Others never talk about it
But when the weather starts to burn
Then you'll know that you're in trouble
Following in the footsteps of a soldier girl
It is time to put your clothes on and to face the world
Don't you feel your luck is changing
When everything starts to happen
Put your head right next to my heart
The beat of the drum is the fear of the dark
My features form with a change in the weather
