"Pandora's Box" lyrics
"Pandora's Box"
Night passed so slowly, all the dreams were bad
Pandora's Box fell down, it broke open
All of my memories, bound to make me sad
I heard every unkind word I'd spoken
Hard though I tried, couldn't get myself awake
Hard though I cried, I would remember each mistake
Prayin' for sunrise, prayers were all I had
Prayers and all the promises I'd broken
[Hummed interlude]
How can I make it, feelin' this a' way?
Not at all convinced to go on living
No place to go to, no excuse to stay
One more soul in bad need of forgiving
Hard though I tried, I couldn't get myself awake
Hard though I cried, I would remember each mistake
Hangin' on till sunrise, livin' day by day
Prayin' for grace and faced with a need for livin'
Hangin' on till sunrise, livin' day by day
Prayin' for grace and faced with a need for livin'

Melanie - "Yankee Man" I've lived with the decent folks in the hills of old Vermont
Where what you do all day depends on what you want
