Joan Baez: Amsterdam



Lyrics:

Just the Pattern of Sunlight On a Building
Just a Flash in a
Window I Was Passing
Just a Frame in a Movie I Remembered

Amsterdam
Just the Sound of a Wheel in the Gravel
Just the Click of a Heel On the Pavement
Just a Moment
Like Any Other Moment
Amsterdam

I Remember Your
Lips, I Remember Your Eyes
And the Taste of the Kiss and
Your Graceful Goodbye
You Lied
Goodbye

Just
the Scent of Perfume On the Linen
Just the Print of a Palm
On the Pillow
Just the Hint of the Moon Through the
Window
Amsterdam
Just a Ghost in the Steam On the
Mirror
Just a Shadow of Motion in the Water
Just a
Need to Look Over My Shoulder
Amsterdam

I
Remember Your Lips, I Remember Your Eyes
And the Taste of
the Kiss and Your Graceful Goodbye
You Lied
Goodbye

Just Two Lovers Asleep in the Silence As I Watched From
the Door
Just the Weight of a Heart As It's Falling,
Nothing More

I Remember Your Lips, I Remember Your
Eyes
And the Taste of the Kiss and Your Graceful Goodbye
You Lied
Goodbye

Bob Dylan & Joan Baez: Blowin' In The Wind (Live)



Lyrics:

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Joan Baez: Suzanne



Lyrics:

Suzzane takes you down
To a place by the river.
You can see the boats go by,
You could spend the night forever.
And you know that she's half crazy
And that's why you want to be there.
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China.
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her,
She takes you in her arms
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover.
And you want to travel with her,
And you want to travel blind.
And you think you'll maybe trust her
'Cause she's touched you,
And she's moved you,
And she's kind.

Jesus was a sailor
When he walked up the water.
He spent a long time watching
From a lonely wooden tower.
And when He knew for certain
Only drowning men could see Him,
He said, All men shall be sailors then,
Until the sea shall free them.
He Himself was broken
Long before the sky was open;
Forsaken, almost human,
He sank beneath your wisdom like a star.
And you want to travel with Him,
And you want to travel blind.
And you think you'll maybe trust Him
'Cause He's touched you
And He's moved you,
And He's kind.

Suzzane takes your hand,
And she leads you to the river.
She's wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters.
And the sun shines down in full
On our lady of the harbor.
And she shows you where to look
Beneath the garbage and the flowers.
There are heroes in the seaweed,
There are children in the morning.
And you want to travel with her,
And you want to travel blind.
And you think you'll maybe trust her
'Cause she's touched you,
And she's moved you,
And she's kind.
