Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes, "Ah"

When she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gently
That when she passes
Each one she passes goes, "Ah"

Oh, but he watches her so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her?
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at he

 

Olha que coisa mais linda
Mais cheia de graça
É ela menina
Que vem e que passa
Num doce balanço, a caminho do mar

Oh the iron will and the iron hand
In England's green and pleasant land
No music for the shameful scene
That night they said it had even shocked the queen

Well alas we've seen it all before
Knights in armour, days of yore
The same old fears and the same old crimes
We haven't changed since ancient times

Well, I'd sooner forget, but I remember those nights
Yeah, life was just a bet on a race between the lights
You had your head on my shoulder, you had your hand in my hair
Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care

But just believe in me, baby, and I'll take you away
From out of this darkness and into the day
From these rivers of headlights, these rivers of rain
From the anger that lives on the streets with these names
'Cause I've run every red light on memory lane
I've seen desperation explode into flames
And I don't want to see it again

From all of these signs saying, "Sorry, but we're closed"
All the way

Down the Telegraph Road

JD McPherson, opened and played for Alison Krauss and 

Robert Plant

I've got signs and signifiers
Gossipers and liars
Twist me every way they wanna go
What looks like a raging fire
Are your dreams and desires
Endin' up like ashes on the ground
If you'll consider me a chance
To falter through our dance
Then the other ones may just leave us alone

Oooooooooo I made a really sacred vow
To never ever do without
And be with you
Until our time is runnin' out

You gotta go where you want to go

Do what you want to do

With whoever you want to do it with

 

You don't understand

That a girl like me can love just one man

Three thousand miles, that's how far you'll go

And you said to me please don't follow

The rain is falling through the mist
Of sorrow that surrounded me
The sun could never thaw away
The bliss that lays around me

 

Let it rain, let it rain
Let your love rain down on me
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, rain, rain

I had a dream about you once
I could barely see your form
And I met you between the wax and the needle
In the words of my favorite song


And your black hair was like a raven
With your tan skin on the beach
And your backdrop were the Auroras

And my sidekick was all this grief
And I been so low down, I been almost level with the ground
