TFT: Carole King


Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world.  For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously fervent rants of rebellion.  Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.


Sweet Seasons
Carole King
Sometimes you win
Sometimes you lose
And sometimes the blues get a hold of you
Just when you thought
You had made it
All around the block
People will talk
But I want to give it all that I've got
I just don't want
I don't want to waste it

Talkin' 'bout
Sweet seasons
On my mind
Sure does appeal to me
You know we can get there easily
Just like a sailboat
A-sailin' on the sea

Sometimes you win
Sometimes you lose
And most times you choose between the two
Oh
Wonderin'
Wonderin'
If you have made it
But I'll have some kids
And make my plans
And I'll watch the seasons runnin' away
And I'll build me
A life in the open
A life in the country

I'm talkin' 'bout
A sweet season
On my mind
Sure does appeal to me
You know we can get there easily
Just like a sailboat
A-sailin' on the sea
Talkin' 'bout
A sweet season
Talkin' 'bout
A sweet
Sweet sweet season
Talkin' 'bout
A sweeeeeet season
Talkin' 'bout
A sweeeeeeet…


Nightingale
Carole King
Like some night bird
Homeward wingin'
He seeks
The sheltered nest
Like the sailor's
Lost horizon
He needs
Some place to rest
The songs that he's been singin'
No longer make much sense
And those strangers' cold perceptions
They've killed his confidence

Nightingale
She sails away upon a sea of song
Nightingale
She serenades his lonely lonely life along
When his tired voice is broken
His golden hope is gone
She makes a lost soul's simple longin’
Somehow not so wrong
Nightingale
Nightingale

He was strong
But he was taken
By the thought
Of his success
Those spotlight shadows
How they lured him
And took him
Like all the rest
But that old dream don't look good now
No it don't seem quite the same
He needs to hear a tender word
Won't you sing him home again

Nightingale
She sails away upon a sea of song
Nightingale
She serenades his lonely lonely life along
When his strength is slowly goin'
His pride is all but gone
She makes a foolish dreamer listen
To one last song
Nightingale
Nightingale
Nightingale
Nightingale
Nightingale
Nightingale

  2. Thanks for stopping by here, my dear Grace!!! She doesn't have the richest of voices, but it doesn't matter. For I find myself being swept away by her songs.
