Second Barbra Streisand Album

Like a straw in the wind
I go whirling around
Like a bird who's just learnin' to fly
Feet are not on the ground
Drift from pillar to post
So helplessly
What wanted the most
Winds up a ghostly memory
My man is gone
And when your man is gone
Your world just falls apart
Hmm... nothing you try to do
Helps you to comfort your heart
Don't yo' heart get all the bricks
Where your hopes come unpinned
Trouble steps in and make
You feel like a straw in the wind
Like a straw in the wind
Free and easy
That's my style
I go whirling around
Howdy-do me?
Watch me smile
Like a bird who's just learned to fly
Fare-the-well me after a while
Feet are not on the ground
So i gotta roam
Drift from pillar to post
Sweetenin' water
Cherry wine
So helplessly
Thank you kindly suits me fine
What i wanted the most
Winds up a ghostly memory
My man is gone
And when your man is gone
Your world just falls apart
So any place i hang my hat is home
Birds roostin' in a tree
Pick up and go
And the goin' proves
That's how it oughta be
I pick up too
When the spirit moves me
Cross the river, run the bend
Howdy stranger?
So long friend
There is a voice in the lonesome wind
I hear a-whisperin' roam
I'm goin' where a welcome mat is,
No matter where that is...
Cause any place i hang my hat is home!

Gotta move, gotta get out
Gotta leave this place, gotta find some place
Some other place, some brand new place
Some place where each face that i see
Won't be staring back at me
Telling me what to be and how to be it
Some place where i can just be me
Gotta move, got to get out
Gotta leave this town, gotta find some town
Some big new town, some bright new town
Some new town with new places, new lives
And most of all some new faces
Gotta find a man, a new man
A man who won't worry 'bout where i go
A man who wont ask how i learned what i know
A man who will know that you've gotta be free
A man who will know when to just let me be
Gotta move, gotta get out
Gotta change my life, gotta find my life
I'll find me a place in some new town and baby
And when i find me that new place, then maybe ours,
Gotta leave this town
Gotta leave this place
Gotta find a new man...
Gotta move!

Sky was blue and high above
The moon was new, so was love
This eager heart of mine was singing
Lover, where can you be
It came at last love had its day
The day is past, you've gone away
This eager heart of mine is singing
Lover, come to me
I remember every little thing we used to to
I'm lonely
Every road i walked alone,
I walked along with you
No wonder i am lonely
The sky is blue, the night is cold
The moon is new, but love is old
And while i'm waiting here
This heart of mine is singing
Lover,, come to me
When i remember every little thing we used to do
Oh...i'm lonely
Every road i walked alone i walked along with you
No wonder i am lonely
The sky is blue, the night is cold
The moon is new, but love is old
And while i'm standing here
This heart of mine is singing
Lover, lover, get here to me...
Now!!!

Right as the rain
That falls from above
So real, so right as our love
It came like the spring
That breaks through the snow
I can't say what it may bring
I only know...i only know...
It's right to believe
Whatever gave your eyes this glow
Whatever gave my heart this song
Can't be wrong
It's right as the rain
That falls from above
And fills the world
With a blue of our love
As rain must fall
And day must dawn
This love...this love...
Must go on.

For those who fancy coloring book
As certain people do
Here's a new one for you
A most unusual coloring book
The kind you never see
Crayons ready, very well
Begin to color me
These are the eyes that watched him
As he walked away
Color them gray
This is the heart that thought
He would always be true
Color it blue
These are the arms that held him
And touched him then lost him somehow
Color them empty now
These are the beads i wore
Until she came between
Color them green
This is the room i sleep in
Walk in and weep in
Hiding that nobody sees
Color it lonely, please
This is the man
The one i depended upon
Color him gone...

When the sun comes out
And the rain stops beating on my window pane
When the sun comes out
There'll be blue birds 'round my door
Singing like they did before
That old storm broke out
And my man walked off
Left me in the rain
Though he's gone i doubt
If he'll stay away for good
I'd stop living if he should
Love is funny,
It's not always peaches, cream and honey
Just when everything seemed bright and sunny
Suddenly the cyclone came
It'll never be the same
Till that sun comes out
And the rain stops beating on my window pane
If my heart holds out
Let it rain, let it pour
It may not belong before
There's a knocking at my door
Then you'll know the one i love walked in
When the sun comes out...
And the rain stops beating on my window pane
If my heart holds out
Let it rain, let it pour
It may not belong before
There's a knocking at my door
Then you'll know the one i love walked in
When the sun comes out...
