Swept Away - Gary Jess

I don't know what you mean to me I don't even know what it takes To begin to conceal this break In a world I know so well Get away for the next one All alone in this single town Ever dearly I'm still around With my feet still on the ground Everything that you mean to me Is tangled up in a broken dream And I keep hoping that the sorrow Will get swept away I'm alone in a symphony I'm a ride in a shiny maze And I keep hoping that the sorrow Will get swept away Yeah I keep hoping that the sorrow Will get lost and swept away Hope this will get swept away Hope this will get lost and swept away Hope this will get swept away Hope this will get lost and swept away I don't know what you mean to me I don't even know what it takes To begin to conceal this break In a world I know so well Get away for the next one All alone in this single town Ever dearly I'm still around With my feet still on the ground Everything that you mean to me Is tangled up in a broken dream And I keep hoping that the sorrow Will get swept away I'm alone in a symphony I'm a ride in a shiny maze And I keep hoping that the sorrow Will get swept away Yeah I keep hoping that the sorrow Will get lost and swept away Hope this will get swept away Hope this will get lost and swept away Hope this will get swept away Hope this will get lost and swept away

I never had anything happen so fast Took one look and I shattered like glass I guess I let it show 'cause your smile told me you knew That you're everything I ever wanted at once There's no holding this heart when it knows what it wants And I never wanted anything more than to know you I was swept away No one in the world but you and I Gotta find a way To make you feel the way that I do I was swept away Without a warning Like night when the morning begins the day I was swept away And so it begins This journey of love The summer wind carries us to places all our own The words of a look The language of touch The way that you want me means so much And I never wanted anything more Than to love you I am swept away No one in the world but you and I Gotta find a way To make you feel the way that I do I am swept away Without a warning Like night when the morning begins the day I was swept away Away, seeing my tomorrow's in your eyes I was swept away Ooh, I hope I wake up soon Ooh, I'm a victim of that crazy moon The very first time you said my name I knew it would never sound the same Something about me has changed forever Can't you see I am swept away? No one in the world but you and I Gotta find a way To make you feel the way that I do I am swept away Without a warning Like night when the morning begins the day I was swept away (swept away) Away, seeing my tomorrow's in your eyes Gotta find a way To make you feel the way that I do I was swept away (swept away) Without a warning Like night when the morning begins the day I was swept away (We were swept away) Dreaming of you Swept away

Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing, ring-ting tingle-ing, too, Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you. Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling "Yoo hoo" Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you. Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, let's go, Let's look at the show. We're riding in a wonderland of snow. Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, it's grand Just holding your hand. We're riding along with a song of a wintery fairy land.

There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray It'll be the perfect ending to a perfect day We'll be singing the songs we love to sing Without a single stop At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop Pop pop pop There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie It'll even be like a picture print by Currier and Ives These wonderful things are the things We remember all through our lives Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing, ring-ting tingle-ing, too, Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.
