i) The Sound Of Silence (Paul Simon)
Hello darkness my old friend
I＇ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestones
Beneath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night, and touched the sound of silence.

ii) Wind Flowers (Jimmy Seals/Dash Crofts)

Windflowers, my father told me not to go near them,
he feared them always said they carried him away.
Windflowers, I couldn＇t wait to touch them, to smell them,
I held them closely.
Now I cannot break away.
Their sweet bouquet disappears
like the vapour in the desert take a warning son.
Windflowers, their beauty captures every young dreamer
who lingers near them,
Ancient windflowers, I love you.

iii) California Dreamin＇(J.Phillips/Michelle Jilliam)

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I＇ve been for a walk
On a winter＇s day
I＇d be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
California dreaming
On such a winter＇s day

Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows I＇m gonna stay
California dreaming

iv) Devoted to you (Bryant, B.)

Darling you can count on me
Till the sun dries up the sea
Until then I＇ll always be devoted to you

I＇ll never hurt you I＇ll never lie
I＇ll never be untrue
I＇ll never give you reason to cry
I＇d be unhappy if you were blue

Through the years my love will grow
Like a river it will flow
It can＇t die because I＇m so devoted to you

v) Crying In The Rain (Carole King/Howard Greenfield)

I＇ll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I＇ve got my pride and I know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain
I＇ll do my crying in the rain

If I wait for cloudy skies
You won＇t know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You＇ll never know that I still love you so
Though the heartaches remain
I＇ll do my crying in the rain
I＇ll do my crying in the rain

vi) Teach Your Children (Nash, G.)

You who are on the road
Must have a code
That you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a good-bye
Teach you children well
Your father＇s hell did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks
The one you＇ll know by
Don＇t you ever ask them why
If they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you

vii) He ain＇t heavy - he＇s my brother

The road is long
with many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where,
who knows where
But I＇m strong, strong enough to carry him
He ain＇t heavy - he＇s my brother

And the load
doesn＇t weigh me down at all
He ain＇t heavy - he＇s my brother
he＇s my brother
He ain＇t heavy
he＇s my brother
