song list next song previous song Jon Anderson: The More You Know Dancing Food
(Anderson/Jocky)
Better get a life if you do it to me
Got to move it through forget to
Run fast, run fast, faster than you've ever done before
Better get a life just do it. How can you betray a friendship?
Run fast, run fast, whatever, forever

How you waste your money, do it
How you waste your body, do it
How you waste your heat love
How you waste your money, do it
How you waste your body, do it
How you waste your heat love

Say that you play the game, say that you need the fix
Walking in to darkness, you'd better get a life
Get a life and quickly, everybody dancing, looking at you
They call him the Dancing Fool
Call him the Dancing Fool
They call him the Dancing Fool
Call him the Dancing Fool
See the Dancing Fool

Better get a life you just walked into it
Like a wall you walked into it
So fast, so fast, so fast, so fast
Better get a life you just walked into it
Like a wall you walked into it
So fast, so fast, so fast, so fast
Now let him go to forever, whatever
Now let him go to forever, whatever
Now let him go to forever, whatever
Now let him go to forever, whatever
Now let him go to forever, whatever
Now let him go to forever, whatever

Got to get a life if you're walking to it
They call him the Dancing Fool, call him the Dancing Fool
Got to get a life if you're walking to it. See the Dancing Fool
They call him the Dancing Fool, call him the Dancing Fool
They call him the Dancing Fool, call him the Dancing Fool
See the Dancing Fool

(Anderson)
How does this radiance
Light my eyes
All colors radiate a feeling so

How do we speak of a morn
That burned so bright

Seems only yesterday
As a child
I'd wake to find the reasures of the dawn
Sleep in the sunlight
How thrilled my senses so

Then there in beauty
Full to one passion
Seen as a godesend to our love

Born to be near us
Born to believe us
All in a light
That shines
So bright, so close

How on this day so, so far away
A different land was born the King of Kings
How was it then
Was it then a Christmas day

One was a clear star
The mother earth
Seemed ready for the sound of angel songs
Heavenly chorus
It was His day of days

One was a clear star
This mother earth
Seemed ready for the sound of angel songs
Heavenly chorus
It was His day of days
song list next song previous song Jon Anderson: Song Of Seven Days
(Anderson)
This song of evening's light
Would charge my memory to flight
The trees that listen
Swift wings do carry on through constant
Gardens they offer delight
It is the evening

In deepest woods and fern
Young deer step light through morning's mist
Ascend the swallows
First light streams through the treetops
Bouncing as the flowers illuminate
The breath of morning

This song of ages past
I lay in peace midst grass so green
To reach to skyward
Where larks do sing such high delights
Do pour into my senses
The days are blessings
The days are blessings
The days are blessings

song list Jon Anderson: Letter E previous song Jon Anderson: Song Of Seven Don't Forget (Nostalgia)
(Anderson)
Don't forget, I'll always be in love with you
Never let the blues get the best of you
Don't forget, I'll always want you by my side

Don't forget, I'll always want to be with you
By my side, I know my love I'll never hide
It's so easy to say I'll always love you so-yeh

Always times in life when love is so wrong, love is so wrong
They always try to put you down
When ever we're alone

I know we're young, they say we're irresponsible
But don't you cry, our love is not impossible
Don't regret, I'll always want you by my side
Truly, yes I will

And there's something I wanted to say a long time ago
I'll say it right now
There are so many things in life that make me feel bad
But you make me feel so strong

Don't forget, I'll always be in love with you
Never let the blues get the best of you
Don't forget, I'll always want you by my side
Oh, by my side
Oh, baby
By my side
