“Going to see the river man,
Going to tell him all I can
About the plan
For lilac time.
If he tells me all he knows
'Bout the way his river flows,
And all night shows
In summertime.”

River Man
Song lyrics, Five Leaves Left (1969)
Változat: Going to see the river man.
Going to tell him all I can
About the ban
On feeling free.If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows,
I don't suppose
It's meant for me.

“And at the chime of the city clock
Put up your road block.
Hang on to your crown.
For a stone in a tin can
Is wealth to the city man
Who leaves his armour down.”

So crowded that you can't look out the window in the morning?”

Hazey Jane II

I thought I'd see when day is done.
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
Oh, so weak in the need for you.”

Place to Be
Pink Moon (1972)

“Have you seen the land living by the breeze?
Can you understand the lights upon the trees?
Tell me all that you may know
Show me what you have to show
Tell us all today if you know the way to blue…”

Way To Blue
Song lyrics, Five Leaves Left (1969)

“Do you curse where you come from?
Do you swear in the night?
Will it mean much to you
If I treat you right?
Do you like what you're doing?
Would you do it some more?
Or will you stop once and wonder
What you're doing it for?
Hey slow Jane, make sense.
Slow, slow, Jane, cross the fence.”

You're a rare, rare find,
A troubled cure for a troubled mind.”

Time Has Told Me
Song lyrics, Five Leaves Left (1969)

“The world hums on at its breakneck pace;
People fly in their lifelong race.
For them there's a future to find,
But I think they're leaving me behind.”

Leaving Me Behind, appeared on Family Tree (2007)
Song lyrics

“I never felt magic crazy as this,
Never saw moons, knew the meaning of the sea,
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand,
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree,
But now you're here.
Brighten my northern sky.”

Black Eyed Dog, first appeared on Fruit Tree (1979)
Song lyrics

“Safe in the womb of an everlasting night,
You find the darkness can give the brightest light.
Safe in your place deep in the earth,
That's when they'll know what you were really worth.”

Fruit Tree
Song lyrics, Five Leaves Left (1969)

“I could have been a sailor, could have been a cook,
A real live lover, could have been a book,
I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock,
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock.
I could be here and now,
I would be, I should be, but how?
I could have been one of these things first.”

One of These Things First
Song lyrics, Bryter Later (1970)

“So I'll leave the ways that are making me be
What I really don't want to be.
Leave the ways that are making me love
What I really don't want to love.”

Time Has Told Me
Song lyrics, Five Leaves Left (1969)

“Please tell me your second name.
Please play me your second game.
I've fallen so far
For the people you are.
I just need your star for a day.”

Fly
Song lyrics, Bryter Later (1970)

“Fame is but a fruit tree:
So very unsound.
It can never flourish
Till its stalk is in the ground.
So men of fame
Can never find a way
Till time has flown
Far from their dying day.
Forgotten while you're here,
Remembered for a while.
A much updated ruin
From a much outdated style.”

Fruit Tree
Song lyrics, Five Leaves Left (1969)

“Please give me a second grace.
Please give me a second face.
I've fallen far down
The first time around.
Now I just sit on the ground in your way.”

Fly
Song lyrics, Bryter Later (1970)

“When the day is done,
Down to earth then sinks the sun,
Along with everything that was lost and won,
When the day is done.”

Day is Done
Song lyrics, Five Leaves Left (1969)

“Life is but a memory,
Happened long ago.
Theatre full of sadness
For a long forgotten show.
Seems so easy
Just to let it go on by
Till you stop and wonder
Why you never wondered why.”

Fruit Tree
Song lyrics, Five Leaves Left (1969)

“Don't be shy you learn to fly.
And see the sun when day is done.
If only you see
Just what you are beneath a star
That came to stay one rainy day
In autumn for free.
Yes, be what you'll be.”

Things Behind the Sun
Pink Moon (1972)

“Would you love me for my money?
Would you love me for my head?
Would you love me through the winter?
Would you love me 'til I'm dead?
Oh, if you would and you could,
Come blow your horn on high.”
