WAKE UP MY LOVE
By George Harrison
Here I go again,
Hear that knockin', won't you let me in?
Only want that same old thing,
Yet it's me here, ring, ring, ring.
I want your love,
Wake up, my love and let it in.
Well, you know it's me out here,
Can't give up now, let us make that clear.
All I've had's the run around,
Though I'm barking like some hound.
I want your love,
Wake up, my love and let it in.
My life's been so many ways,
Too much darkness gets me crazed.
All around us people fight,
Christ, I'm looking for some light.
Inside your love,
Wake up, my love and let it in.
I don't have no friends of mine
Who can swing me down that vine.
Not much sense in what they do,
That is why i'm calling you.
Inside my love,
Wake up, my love and let it in.
Wake up, my love,
Wake up, my love and let it in.
Oh, I need you, Lord,
Oh, I need you more,
With this emptiness outside,
You know, Lord, it drives me wild.
I got tired of wrong and right,
It can seem I need your light.
And that's me knocking on your door,
And it's you I'm looking for.
Oh, Lord!
Oh, Lord!
Wake up, my love, let it in.
Wake up, my love,
Wake up, my love.
THAT'S THE WAY IT GOES
By George Harrison
There's a man talking on the radio,
What he's saying, I don't really know.
Seems he lost some stocks and shares,
Stops and stares.
He's afraid I know.
That's the way it goes.
There's a man talking of the promised land,
He'll acquire it with some krugerand.
Subdivide and deal it out,
Feel his clout,
He can stoop so low.
And that's the way it goes.
There's an actor who hopes to fit the bill,
Sees a shining city on a hill.
Step up close and see he's blind,
Wined and dined,
All he has is pose.
And that's the way it goes.
There's a fire that burns away the lies,
Manifesting in the spiritual eye.
Though you won't understand the way I feel,
You conceal
All there is to know.
That's the way it goes.
That's the way it goes...
I REALLY LOVE YOU
By Leroy Swearingen
Ah-ah-ah.
Yeah, you, I really, really love you,
Nobody else will do,
That's why I love you,
That's why, why, why.
Yeah, you, I really, really want you,
Nobody else will do,
That's why I love you,
That's why, why, why.
Well, babe, you know I love you so,
I'd pay the world if you could know.
And when I see you comin' down the street,
My heart skips a beat.
You, I really, really need you,
But yet you play me for a fool.
Why do you do me like you do, do, do?
Yeah, do.
You, I really, really need you,
But yet you play me for a fool.
Why do you do me like you do?
Why do you do me like you do, why, why?
GREECE
By George Harrison
Yugo to Slavia,
Half past Armenia,
Down and towards the Med.
Left side of Turkey,
Nowhere near Fiji,
You will find Greece.
You may athena,
Handed on a plato,
Hole in my Socrates.
I came Acropolis
On Monty Pythogoras,
Ulysses Greece.
GONE TROPPO
By George Harrison
There he, sitting in a moonlight,
Not found, livin' no city.
He smile, mucho in a sunshine,
Night life, counting de fruit bat.
Troppo, gone troppo,
Troppo,
It's time you know I gone troppo.
Plant me, in the heliconia,
No thank, meeting de peoples.
Wake me, eata de papaya,
Much hot, not much on the body.
Warm sea, see right to the bottom,
No like, shovelling snowfall.
Good time, drinking on me bottle,
The high wide moreton bay fig.
Quite like, you ain't seen a sunset,
Could be, living in rain hill.
Sun hot, you don't got a backache,
Brown skin and very a peeling.
Gone troppo...
MYSTICAL ONE
By George Harrison
They say I'm not what I used to be,
All the same,
I'm happier than a willow tree.
Shine or rain, sitting here by a stream.
Mm-mm, there's nothing I'd rather feel
In this world,
You and your sweet serenity rocking me,
Melting my heart away.
I know something so dear to me,
Beyond words,
Beautiful feeling in my soul.
Sounds I've heard, like humming birds in a dream.
Mm-mm, that mystical one I knew
Is returned,
Lulling me with those raincloud eyes.
Taking me,
Melting my heart away.
I am, yes, I am,
I know what I feel.
You came in my life
And made me more real.
I know whatever we may have been
In past times,
Has sorted the true out from the rest.
Win or lose, I always knew you'd be there.
Mm-mm, you answer my deepest prayer,
In a song
Shimmering slowhand flowing clear,
Moving me,
Melting my heart away.
Taking me,
Melting my heart away.
Mm-mm.
UNKNOWN DELIGHT
By George Harrison
Darkest deep brown eyes I've seen,
Angel came into my dream.
Like the morning's early light,
You freshen all around.
And with all the love you bring unknown delight.
Oo-oo, unknown delight.
Sweetest innocence and free,
God has given you the key
To the hearts of ev'ryone
That comes in sight with you.
And with all the love you bring unknown delight.
All the love you bring unknown delight.
(All the love you bring unknown delight)
Who have eyes will clearly see,
And no one could disagree.
A treasure of the world,
A child, watching it grow.
And with all the love you bring unknown delight.
All the love will bring unknown delight.
Unknown delight.
All the love will bring unknown delight.
Mm-mm.
Unknown delight.
All the love will bring unknown delight.
BABY DON'T RUN AWAY
By George Harrison
Baby, don't run away from me,
Baby, don't go.
Baby, I'm always thinking of you,
Baby, don't run away from my love.
Uh, uh, uh.
You brought me ev'rything I wanted,
Lady, don't go.
How could I ever live without you?
Lady, don't run away from my love.
Uh, uh.
Way out there where the ocean is still,
A calm reflection in the sea (in the sea).
Sat alone with the stars and the moon,
You turned round to me.
And love was in your eyes to see,
That's when it happened to you and me.
(Run away from my love)
Way back then it was easy to see
A calm reflection in the sea (in the sea).
Sitting still and without any cares
You turned out to be
A lover who was sure of me,
That's when it happened to you and me.
(Run away from my love) (my love)
Uh, uh.
(Run away from my love) (my love)
Uh, uh.
DREAM AWAY
By George Harrison
From the film "Time Bandits"
Oh ry in eye ay, oh ry in eye ay,
Oh ry in eye key ooh lay.
Ka kay ooh lou ee, oh ry in eye ay,
Sya te lee ay vee show.
Midnight sunshine, silent thunder,
Sky as black as day,
Only a dream away.
Waking while you're still deep sleeping,
Finding you're not here,
Watching a dream appear.
Tumbling through a thousand centuries,
You don't know where you'll land,
It's so dark in mythology.
Treasures of history to be found
Near the legends of time.
All the handiwork's remain there,
Only a dream away.
Greedy feeling, wheeling, dealing,
Losing what you won.
See the dream come undone.
Stumble you may with the elementary,
Lucky you got so far.
All you owe is apologies.
Measure the mystery and astound
Without taking up time,
Still the handiwork's remain there,
Only a dream away.
In, out, hot, cold, up, down, young, old,
What a lot to do.
Sharing a dream with you.
Oh ry in eye ay, oh ry in eye ay,
Oh ry in eye key ooh lay.
Ka kay ooh lou ee, oh ry in eye ay,
Sya te lee ay vee show...
CIRCLES
By George Harrison
Friends come and friends go
As I go round and round in circles.
Love someone, change your mind,
Decide he was a swine
As you go round and round in circles.
He who knows, does not speak,
He who speak, does not know.
And I go round in circles.
Dislike someone and will not bend,
Later they may become your best friend.
As life it goes around in circles.
Oo,
Lord, circles.
Oo,
Lord, circles.
He who knows, does not speak,
He who speak, does not know.
And I know that I go round in circles.
Soul takes on a body with each birth we make our date,
With life and death along the road.
The soul reincarnates.
The show goes round and round in circles.
When loss and gain and up and down
Becomes the same, then we stop going in circles.
Round and round in circles.
Round and round, round, oh, circles.
Round and round, oh, circles.
Round and round in circles.
