Turn! Turn! Turn! The Byrds.




1. Turn! Turn! Turn!

To everything, turn, turn, turn, there is a season, turn, turn, turn, and a time for every purpose under heaven. A time to be born, a time to die, a time to plant, a time to reap, a time to kill, a time to heal, a time to laugh, a time to weep.

To everything, turn, turn, turn, there is a season, turn, turn, turn, and a time for every purpose under heaven. A time to build up, a time to break down, a time to dance, a time to mourn, a time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together.

To everything, turn, turn, turn, there is a season, turn, turn, turn, and a time for every purpose under heaven. A time of love, a time of hate, a time of war, a time of peace a time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing.

To everything, turn, turn, turn, there is a season, turn, turn, turn, and a time for every purpose under heaven. A time to gain, a time to lose, a time to rend, a time to sew, a time to love, a time to hate, a time of peace, I swear it's not too late.


2. It won't be wrong.

Every time I see you smile, come to me, don't be long, let me tell you how my heart goes wild, please let me love you and it won't be wrong. Every time you're in my arms, come to me, don't be long, you know that I'll never do you no harm, please let me love you and it won't be wrong. Let me love you and then you'll see, come to me, come to me, let me show you once and we'll be free, please let me love you and it won't be wrong.

Every time I see you smile, come to me, don't be long, let me tell you how my heart goes wild, please let me love you and it won't be wrong. Let me love you and then you'll see, come to me, come to me, let me show you once and we'll be free, please let me love you and it won't be wrong…


3. Set you free this time.

The first thing that I heard you say when you were standing there, set in your way, was that you were not blind, you were sure to make a fool of me ‘cause there was nothing there that you could see that could go beyond your mind. Now who's standing at the door remembering the days before and asking, please be kind, it isn't how it was set up to be but I've set you free this time.

I have never been so far out in front that I could ever ask for what I want and have it any time, knowing this you found a thought for me that told you just what I should be and there I stood behind, with all the ones that went before and memories that always seems to tear me from my mind, in front of what it is you seem me to be I've set you free this time.

I could never find a chance to choose between a way to win or a thing to lose because there was your stand, on top of all the love you took there was only something you can look at lying in your hand, now who's wondering what has changed and why it can not be arranged to have each thing work fine, it isn't how it was set up to be but I'll set you free this time.


4. Lay down your weary tune.

Lay down your weary tune, lay down, lay down the song you strum and rest yourself beneath the strength of strings, no voice can hope to hum. Stuck by the sounds before the sun, I knew the night had gone, the morning breeze like a bugle blew, against the drums of dawn.

Lay down your weary tune, lay down, lay down the song you strum and rest yourself beneath the strength of strings, no voice can hope to hum. The ocean wild like an organ played, the seaweed wove its strands, the crashing waves like cymbals clashed, against the rocks and sands.

Lay down your weary tune, lay down, lay down the song you strum and rest yourself beneath the strength of strings, no voice can hope to hum. The last of leaves fell from the trees and clung to a new love's breast, the branches bare like a banjo played to the winds that listened best.

Lay down your weary tune, lay down, lay down the song you strum and rest yourself beneath the strength of strings, no voice can hope to hum.


5. He was a friend of mine.

He was a friend of mine, he was a friend of mine, his killing had no purpose, no reason or rhyme, he was a friend of mine. He was in Dallas town, he was in Dallas town, from a sixth floor window a gunner shot him down, he died in Dallas town.

He never knew my name, he never knew my name, though I never met him I knew him just the same, oh, he was a friend of mine. Leader of a nation for such a precious time, he was a friend of mine.


6. The world turns all around her.

Well if you think she's everything you could want, and if you think she's everything that could be, well, I still think the world turns all around her, and I still wish that she belonged to me.

I don't know how I ever could thought that, I'd let her go and still be just the same, well, I found out my world turned all around her, and every where I go I hear her name. Somewhere along the way, I don't know why, I thought that I would want to let her go, but now whenever I see her with you I realize how much I didn't know.

So if you tell her every day you love her, and if you tell her everything she could be, you'll find out that your world will turn around her, you'll feel the same if you should set her free.


7. Satisfied mind.

How many times have you heard someone say, if I had his money I could do things my way, but little they know that it's so hard to find one rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.

Money won't buy back your youth when you're old, a friend when you're lonely or a love that's grown cold, the wealthiest person is a pauper at times, compared to the man with a satisfied mind.

Once I was living in fortune and fame, I had all that I dreamed of to get a start in life's game, then suddenly it happened and I lost every dime, but I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind.


8. If you're gone.

If I need you, to me you’re everything, if I have you, if I love you just the same, if your here the night is likely going to fall, if your gone I'll see the daylight in that song, if I stand alone understanding what is now, if I ever need someone to show me how. If the daylight can be hidden by the sun, if your gone then I'll know why I miss someone,

If I love you, if I know how much I care, if I find the things you wanted anywhere, if I know you, I may never know your name, if you’re gone then there is nothing that remains.


9. The times they are a-changin'.

Come gather 'round people wherever you roam, admit that the waters around you have grown, accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone, if your time to you is worth savin', then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone, for the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen, keep your eyes open, the chance won't come again, and watch what you say for the wheel's still in spin, and there's no tellin' who that it's namin', for the loser now will be later to win, for the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call, don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall, for he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled, there's a battle outside and it is ragin', then rattle your windows and shake up your walls, for the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers throughout the land and don't criticize what you can't understand, your sons and daughters are beyond your command, your old road is rapidly agin', get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand, for the times they are a-changin'.


10. Wait and see.

Watch out what you say, don’t get in my way, I'm gonna get that girl, wait and see, I saw her today, she came by my way, I'm gonna win her love just for me. And together we'll go walkin', through the evening still be talkin', she's the kind of girl you never hardly see.

Have you seen her eyes, do you realize how much love like that can mean to me? I know she knows me, today after tea, the way she held her head when she walked by. And before the night is over I think I'm gonna love her, and if it last forever I don't care.

Say now she is mine, I told you all the time, how could I let a girl like that go by. And before the night is over I think I'm gonna love her, and if it last forever I don't care.


11. Oh! Susannah.

Well I come from Alabama with a banjo on my kneee and I'm going to Lousiana, Sasannah, for to see, oh Susannah, now don't you cry for me ‘cause I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee.

Well it rained so hard the night I left, the weather it was dry, and it was so hot I froze to death, Susannah don't you cry, oh Susannah, now don't you cry for me ‘cause I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee.

Well I come from Alabama with a banjo on my kneee and I'm going to Lousiana, Sasannah, for to see, oh Susannah, now don't you cry for me ‘cause I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee.

Well it rained so hard the night I left, the weather it was dry, and it was so hot I froze to death, Susannah don't you cry, oh Susannah, now don't you cry for me ‘cause I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee.

Younger than yesturday. The Byrds.





1. So you want to be a rock 'n' roll star.


So, you want to be a rock 'n' roll star, then listen now to what I say. Just get an electric guitar and take some time, and learn how to play, and when your hair's combed right, and your pants fit tight, it's gonna be all right. Then it's time to go down town where the agent men won't let you down. Sell your soul to the company who are waiting there to sell plastic ware. And in a week or two if you make the charts, the girls'll tear you apart.

The price you pay for your riches and fame was it all a strange game, you're a little insane. The money that came and the public acclaim, don't forget what you are, you're a rock 'n' roll star...


2. Have you seen her face.

Have you seen her face? Her eyes reflect the colors in the sky. A warm familiar place to be swept into whenever she's close by, makes me wonder why. Run by, don't turn back, can't hide from that look in her eye.

Must be the way she walks, a style made up to capture all she needs. No time to spend on loose talk if your luck runs right she might see you tonight, anything in sight. Run by, don't turn back, can't hide from that look in her eyes. Run by, don't turn back, can't hide from that look in her eyes.

You'll find your locked in her spell, all the sights and sounds. Your senses will be found, that only time will tell, how much love can be to wait so patiently, wait and see. Run by, don't turn back, can't hide from that look in her eyes.


3. C.T.A.-102.

C.T.A.102 we're over here receiving you. Signals tell us that you're there, we can hear them loud and clear. We just want to let you know that we're ready for to go out into the universe, we don't care who's been there first.

On our radio telescope, science tells us that there's hope. Life on other planets might exist!

“C.T.A.102 we're over here receiving you. Signals tell us that you're there, we can hear them loud and clear. We just want to let you know that we're ready for to go out into the universe, we don't care who's been there first.”


4. Renaissance fair.

I think that maybe I'm dreaming, I smell cinnamon and spices, I hear music everywhere, all around kaleidoscope of color, I think that maybe I'm dreaming.

Maids pass gracefully in laughter, wine coloured flowers in their hair, last call from lands I've never been to, I think that maybe I'm dreaming.

Some flash on a soda of prism, bright jewels on the ladies flashing, eyes catch on a shiny prism. Hear ye the crying of the vendors, fruit for sale wax candles for to burn, fires flare soon it will be night fall, I think that maybe I'm dreaming, I think that maybe I'm dreaming, I think that maybe I'm dreaming.


5. Time between.

Don't say you love me, don't say you care, you're so far away. Telephone communication, only a three minute elation when I hear your voice. Through love and trust it's gonna work out fine, the only pain I feel is all this time between, you and me, you and me.

All the days have turned to years only emphasize my fears since you said goodbye. I can hear your voice at night, I can read the words you write, it's only love. Through love and trust it's gonna work out fine, the only pain I feel is all this time between, you and me, you and me.

Through love and trust it's gonna work out fine, the only pain I feel is all this time between, you and me, you and me.


6. Everybody's been burned.

Everybody has been burned before, everybody knows the pain. Anyone in this place can tell you to your face why you shouldn't try to love someone.

Everybody knows it never works, everybody knows and me. I know that door that shuts just before, you get to the dream you see.

I know it all too well how to turn, how to run, how to hide behind a bitter wall of blue. But you die inside if you chose to hide, so I guess instead I'll love you.


7. Thoughts and words.

One day you came into my mind, and everything looked as though it was all mine. Loveliness to gaze upon, to feel your magic pulling me away. I thought I was on top of it all, everyone else was so small, then I knew what you wanted to do, I knew what you wanted to do.

Often think of times when all your thoughts and words come close to making me lose my mind. Moment now recalling all the time involving minutes that we spent alone. I thought I was on top of it all, everyone else was so small, then I knew what you wanted to do, I knew what you wanted to do.

One day you came into my mind and everything looked as though it was all mine. Loveliness to gaze upon, to feel your magic pulling me away. I thought I was on top of it all, everyone else was so small, then I knew what you wanted to do, I knew what you wanted to do.


8. Mind gardens.

Once upon a time there was a garden on a high hill, green and blossomin' round against the sea. And there the sun came, and the rain pourin' down. Garden grew and flourished, and splattered bits of color on the ground. And it took shape and symmetry, and all of life around. But there came winds driven and howling. There came snow and I feared for the garden.

So I built a wall and I built another, and roofed it over thick and strong, and kept it from the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. The killing cold could not get in, but when the sun came and the gentle rain of spring, they could not reach the garden behind those walls. It would have died, safely, securely, died.

But as I longed and as I learned, I tore the walls all down, the garden still lives.


9. My back pages.

Crimson flames tied through my ears flowing high and mighty traps. Countless fire n' flaming rope using ideas as my maps. "We'll meet on edges, soon" said I, proud 'neath heated brow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.

Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth, "Rip down all hate," I screamed. Lies that life is black and white, spoke from my skull. I dreamed. Romantic flanks of musketeers, foundationed deep, somehow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.

In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand at the mongrel dogs who teach. Fearing not I'd become my enemy in the instant that I preach. Sisters fled by confusion boats mutiny from stern to bow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.

Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats too noble to neglect. Deceived me into thinking, I had something to protect. Good and bad, I define these terms, quite clear, no doubt, somehow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.


10. The girl with no name.

One day she came along, I didn't know her name. My friends said to me, watch out for the game. I didn't want to believe all the things they said. It seemed to be the right time, a love afffair instead.

Walkin' down the beach, kickin' up the sand. Not so far away wonderin' where they'll land. We talked of things to do and places that we'd tame. A one with a love to share with a girl who had no name, who had no name.

Then it came the time they said when all the good went bad. She walked into the night, it didn't make me sad. I felt my friends advice, echo through my soul. A one with a love to share with a girl who had no name, who had no name.


11. Why.

Keep sayin' no to her since she was a baby, keep sayin' no to her not even maybe. Why? Why? You say there's a limit there, she can't go past that. She don't believe you, she don't think that's where it's at. Why? Why?

You say she can't change that, it's the way you've always done it. She don't care about that, she thinks you've just begun it. Why? Why?

You say it's a dead old world, dull and unforgiving. I don't know where you live, but you're not living. Why? Why? Keep sayin' no to her since she was a baby, keep sayin' no to her not even maybe. Why? Why?
