Mill Pool

Scream

See how the child reaches out instinctively
To feel how fire will feel.

See how the man reaches out instinctively
For what he cannot have.

The pull and the push of it all.

Reaching out for the hand.
Reaching out for the hand that smacked.
Reaching out for that hand to hold.
Reaching out for the star.
Reaching out for the star that explodes.
Reaching out for mama.

See how the flower leans instinctively
Toward the light.

See how the heart reaches out instinctively
For no reason but to touch.

The pull and the push of it all.

Reaching out for the hand
Reaching out for the hand that smacked
Reaching out for that hand to hold.
Reaching out for the star.
Reaching out for the star that explodes.
Reaching out for mama.

(can’t we see...)

Reaching out for mama.

Dawn - The Longest Day

Stay With Me Till Dawn
(Judy Tzuke)


Is this a game you're playin'
I don't understand what's go-oin' on
I can't see through your frown
First you're up
Then you're down
You're keepin' me from someone
I want to know

But I need you tonight
(Need you tonight)
Yes I need you tonight
(Need you tonight)
And I'll show you a sunset
If you'll stay with me till dawn...

It's the same old situation
Every word so finely placed
Runnin' around
My concentration
Is the feelin' that I've just got to
Break out and say

Oh I need you tonight
(Need you tonight)
Yes I need you tonight
(Need you tonight)
And I'll show you a sunset
If you'll stay with me till dawn...

Is this a game you're playin'
Playin' with my heart
(Need you tonight)
Ooh stop playin' with my heart
(Need you tonight)
And I'll show you a sunset
If you'll stay with me till dawn...

Yes I'll show you a sunset
If you'll stay with me till dawn...
