                        Eight Miles High


                          Eight miles high and when you touch down
                          You'll find that it's stranger than known
                          Signs in the street that say where you're going
                          Are somewhere just being their own

                          Nowhere is there warmth to be found
                          among those afraid of losing their ground
                          Rain gray town known for its sound
                          In places small faces unbound

                          Round the squares huddled in storms
                          Some laughing some just shapeless forms
                          Sidewalk scenes and black limousines
                          Some living some standing alone
                         Mr. Tambourine Man
                                              Written by Bob Dylan


                          Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, Play a song for me
                          I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to
                          Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
                          In the jingle jangle morning, I'll come followin' you

                          Take me for a trip upon your magic swirling ship
                          All my senses have been stripped
                          My hands can't feel to grip
                          My toes too numb to step
                          Wait only for my bootheels to be wandering
                          I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
                          Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way
                          I promise to go under it

                          Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, Play a song for me
                          I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to
                          Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
                          In the jingle jangle morning, I'll come followin' you
                         Turn! Turn! Turn!
                                    Music-Pete Seeger


                          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 for peace, I swear it's not too late
