Don't think twice, it's all right

It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe

If you don't know by now

And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow
When your rooster crows at the breaks of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be goneYou're the reason why I'm travelling on

Don't think twice, it's all right

It ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
But I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
Try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway

So don't think twice, it's all right

It ain't no use in calling out my name, girl
Like you never done before
It ain't no use in calling out my name, girl
I can't hear you anymore
I'm a-thinking and a-wond'rin' walking down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I gave my heart but you wanted my soul

Don't think twice, it's all right

So long honey, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye's too good a word, babe
So I'll just say fare thee well

I ain't saying you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time

But don't think twice, it's all right

per il Apfelrot i tutti tue lettere,

per ogni sorriso i ogni lacrima.

Mark Knopfler - Romeo And Juliet

A lovestruck romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
Says something like you and me babe how about it?

Juliet says hey it's Romeo you nearly gimme a heart attack
He's underneath the window she's singing 

Hey la my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like
That anyway what you gonna do about it?

Juliet the dice were loaded from the start
And I bet and you exploded in my heart
And I forget I forget the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong

Juliet?
Come up on different streets they both were streets of shame
Both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

When you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything you promised me thick and thin
Now you just say oh Romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him

Juliet when we made love you used to cry
you said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die
There's a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong?

Juliet?

I can't do the talk like they talk on TV
And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you
I can't do anything except be in love with you
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All I do is keep the beat and bad company
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet I'd do the stars with you anytime

Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die
And there's a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong

Juliet?
A lovestruck romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made 

Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
Says something like you and me babe how about it?

Mark Knopfler - Why Worry

Baby I see this world has made you sad 
Some people can be bad 
The things they do, the things they say 
But baby I'll wipe away those bitter tears 
I'll chase away those restless fears 
That turn your blue skies into grey 

Why worry, there should be laughter after pain 
There should be sunshine after rain 
These things have always been the same 
So why worry now 

Baby when I get down I turn to you 
And you make sense of what I do 
I know it isn't hard to say 
But baby just when this world seems mean and cold 
Our love comes shining red and gold 
And all the rest is by the way 

Why worry, there should be laughter after pain 

There should be sunshine after rain 
These things have always been the same 
So why worry now

Rachael Yamagata - Elephants

If the elephants have past lives yet all destined to always remember

It's no wonder how they scream

Like you and I they must have some tempers

And I am dreaming of them on the planes

Dirtying up their beds

Watching for some sign of rain to cool their hot heads

And how dare that you send me that card when I am doing all that I can do

You are forcing me to remember when all I want is to just forget you

If the tiger shall protect her young then tell me how did you slip by

Oh

My instincts have failed me for once

I must have slept the whole night

And I am dreaming of them with their kill

Tearing it all apart

Blood dripping from their lips and teeth sinking into heart

And how dare that you say you'll call

When you know I need some peace of mind

If you have to take sides with the animals

Won't you do it with one who is kind

And if the hawks in the trees need the dead

If you're living you don't stand a chance

For a time though you share the same bed

There are only two ends to this dance

You can flee with your wounds just in time or lie there as he feeds

Watching yourself ripped to shreds and laughing as you bleed

So for those of you falling in love keep it kind

Keep it good

Keep it right

Throw yourself in the midst of danger but keep one eye open at night

Ja, auch das ist nicht ganz frei von Sentimentalität, aber: Das ist ziemlich schön: Bluegrass im ungewohnten Acapella-Gewand.
