10.000 Maniacs - These are days

These are
These are days you?ll remember
Never before and never since, I promise
Will the whole world be warm as this
And as you feel it,
You?ll know it?s true
That you ? you are blessed and lucky
It?s true ? that you
Are touched by something
That will grow and bloom in you

These are days you?ll remember
When May is rushing over you
With desire to be part of the miracles
You see in every hour
You?ll know it?s true
That you are blessed and lucky
It?s true that you are touched
By something that will grow and bloom in you

These are days ?
These are the days you might fill
With laughter until you break
These days you might feel
A shaft of light
Make its way across your face
And when you do
You?ll know how it was meant to be
See the signs and know their meaning
You?ll know how it was meant to be
Hear the signs and know they?re speakïng
To you, to you

10.000 Maniacs - A campfire song

A lie to say, "O my mountain has coal veins and beds to dig. 
500 men with axes and they all dig for me." 
A lie to say, "O my river where many fish do swim, 
half of the catch is mine when you haul your nets in." 
Never will he believe that his greed is a blinding ray. 
No devil or redeemer will cheat him. 
He'll take his gold to where he's lying cold. 

A lie to say, "O my mine gave a diamond as big as a fist." 
But with every gem in his pocket, the jewels he has missed. 
A lie to say, "O my garden is growing taller by the day." 
He only eats the best and tosses the rest away. 
Never will he be believe that his greed is a blinding ray. 
No devil or redeemer can cheat him. 
he'll take his gold to where he's lying cold. 
Six deep in the grave. 

Something is out of reach 
something he wanted 
something is out of reach 
he's being taunted 
something is out of reach 
that he can' beg or steal nor can he buy 

his oldest pain 
and fear in life 
there'll not be time 
his oldest pain 
and fear in life 
there'll not be time 

A lie to say "O my forest has trees that block the sun 
and when I cut them down I don't answer to anyone." 
No, no, never will he believe that his greed is a blinding ray 
no devil or redeemer can cheat him. 
He'll take his gold where he's lyïng cold.
