I am the escaped one

I am the escaped one,
After I was born
They locked me up inside me
I am the escaped one,
After I was born
They locked me up inside me
But I left.
But I left
My soul seeks me,
Through hills and valley,
Through hills and valley,
My soul seeks me,
Through hills and valley,
Through hills and valley,
I hope my soul
Never finds me.
I hope my soul
Never finds me.
…
I am the escaped one,
After I was born
They locked me up inside me (X 4)

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
…
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
…
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Highlands

My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart's in the Highlands, a- chasing the deer;
Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe,
My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go.
Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North,
The birth-place of Valour, the country of Worth;
Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,
The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.
Chorus --
Ahhh
Farewell to the mountains, high-cover'd with snow,
Farewell to the straths and green vallies below;
Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods,
Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.
Chorus --
Ahhh
Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe,
My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go.
Chorus --
Ahhh

Shadows on the wall

Shadows on the wall
Noises down the hall
Life doesn't frighten me at all
Bad dogs barking loud
Big ghosts in a cloud
Life doesn't frighten me at all.
Mean old Mother Goose
Lions on the loose
They don't frighten me at all
Dragons breathing flame
On my counterpane
That doesn't frighten me at all.
…
I go boo
Make them shoo
I make fun
Way they run
I won't cry
So they fly
I just smile
They go wild
Life doesn’t frighten me at all.
Not at all
Not at all.
…
Tough guys fight
All alone at night
Life doesn't frighten me at all.
Panthers in the park
Strangers in the dark
They don't frighten me at all.
That new classroom where
Boys all pull my hair
Kissy little girls
With their hair in curls
They don't frighten me at all.
Don't show me frogs and snakes
And listen for my scream,
If I'm afraid at all
It's only in my dreams.
…
I've got a magic charm
That I keep up my sleeve
I can walk the ocean floor
And never have to breathe.
Life doesn't frighten me at all.
Not at all
Not at all.

You are ice and fire,
The touch of you burns my hands like snow.
You are cold and flame.
You are the crimson of amaryllis,
The silver of moon-touched magnolias.
…
When I am with you,
My heart is a frozen pond
Gleaming with agitated torches.
When I am with you,
My heart is a frozen pond
Gleaming with agitated torches.
You are ice and fire,
The touch of you...
You are ice and fire.

Nobody

I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there’s a pair of us!
Don’t tell! they’d advertise – you know!
How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one’s name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!
I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
