Saints and Angels in New Orleans

Words and Music by Judy Collins

Come back again, old New Orleans
Come back again, old city of our dreams
We will return, our hearts will win the fight
We’ll see the Saints and Angels dancing through the night
We will return to our homes again
Gulfport, Biloxi and Slidell
And as for those who could not help us just to live
We’ll try to find it in our hearts just to forgive 

They laid down hope and walked it like a road
Picked up their memories of voodoo and of God
Through Vampire days, the nightmare would not sleep
The retribution and the promises will keep

The hearts still beat, the ghosts are out tonight
Along the Pontchartrain the moon is shining bright
Crepe Myrtle trees are swaying in the air
The train of satin moves like silk upon the stair

Come back again, old New Orleans
Come back again, old city of our dreams
We will return, our hearts will win the fight
We’ll see the Saints and Angels dancing through the night
We’ll see the Saints and Angels dancing through the night
We’ll see the Saints and Angels shimmer in the light
In New Orleans
In New Orleans
In New Orleans

Secret Gardens

My grandmother's house is still there
But it isn't the same
A plain wooden cottage
A patch of brown lawn
And a fence that hangs standing
And sighing in the Seattle rain

I drive by with strangers
And wish they could see what I see
A tangle of summer birds
Flying in sunlight
A forest of lillies
An orchard of apricot trees

Secret Gardens of the heart
Where the flowers bloom forever
I see you shining through the night
In the ice and snow of winter

Great grandfather's farm is still there
But it isn't the same
The barn is torn down
And the fences are gone
The Idaho wind blows
The topsoil away every Spring

I still see the ghosts
Of the people I knew long ago
Inside the old kitchen
They bend and sigh
My life passed them up
And the world passed them by

Secret Gardens of the heart
Where the old stay young forever
I see you shining through the night
In the ice and snow of winter

But most of all
It is me that has changed
And yet I'm still the same
That's me at the weddings
That's me at the graves
Dressed like the people
Who once looked so grown-up and brave

I look in the mirror
Throught the eyes of the child that was me
I see willows bending
The season is Spring
And the silver blue sailing birds
Fly with the sun on their wings

Secret Gardens of the heart
Where dreams live on forever
I see you shining through the night
In the ice and snow of winter

Shameless

Shameless, shameless,
You know what you have done, 
You are shameless, shameless, 
You've got me on the run, 
Shameless, shameless, 
You're tearin' me apart, 
You are shameless, shameless, 
You're a face without a heart.

You traveled like a fast ball
Out of the blue, 
You hurry like a freight train
Tryin' to get through, 
Runnin' to catch you I'm all out of breath, 
Actin' like a darn fool
You scare me to death

You're shameless, shameless,
You know what you have done
You are shameless, shameless, 
you got me on the run
Shameless, shameless, 
you're tearin' me apart
You are shameless, shameless, 
you're a face without a heart

You hit me like a windstorm
Sand in my eyes
You know you treat me so bad
I think I'm gonna die
You walk on water
You think you can fly
What you gonna do when
You fall from the sky

You're shameless, shameless,
You know what you have done
Shameless, shameless, you got me on the run
Shameless, shameless, you're tearin' me apart
Shameless, shameless, you're a face without a heart

Only time will tell
How to break your spell, 
I've got nothin but time, 
Got to find a way to put out you out of my mind.

What you gonna do when you run out of track, 
What you gonna do when they call the game, 
What you gonna do when I don't want you back, 
What you gonna do when I can't remember your name.

You're shameless, shameless,
You know what you have done
You are shameless, shameless, 
you got me on the run
Shameless, shameless, 
you're tearin' me apart
You are shameless, shameless, 
you're a face without a heart
