Guest guest Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 MERRY BLISS-MAS! No more worries, worrying and pain No more crying, shedding tears like rain For the Master has come back Gathering all Her flock Mother Nature feeds the stock Never want or ever lack So bide up, with reasoning Humble thyself and I'll be near thee Bide up, with reasoning Humble thyself and I'll protect thee No more worries, worrying and pain No more crying, shedding tears like rain ~ adaptation of a Bunny Wailer's Bide Up Mystical One They say I'm not what I used to be All the same I'm happier than a willow tree Shine or rain sitting here by a stream (Mmm) There's nothing I'd rather feel In this world You and your sweet serenity Rocking me Melting my heart away I know something so dear to me Beyond words Beautiful feeling in my soul Sounds I've heard Like humming birds in a dream (Mmm) That mystical one I knew Is returned Lulling me with those raincloud eyes Taking me Melting my heart away I am yes I am I know what I feel You came in my life Made me more real I know whatever we may have been In past times Has sorted the truth out from the rest Win or lose I always knew you'd be there (Mmm) You answer my deepest prayer In a song Shimmering slowhand flowing clear Moving me Melting my heart away I am yes I am I know what I feel You came in my life Made me more real (Mmm) That mystical one I knew Is returned Lulling me with those raincloud eyes Taking me Melting my heart away ~ George Hari-son EVERYBODY GET PEACEFUL AND HAPPY!
