Half Moon
Half moon, night time sky,
Seven stars, heaven's eyes.
Seven songs on seven seas
Just to bring all your sweet love home to me.
Hey, you fill me like the mountains,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
You fill me like the sea, lord,
Not coming past but still at last
Your love brings life to me,
Your love brings life to me, hey!
Rings of cloud and arms aflame,
Wings rise up to call your name.
Sun rolls high, lord, it burns the ground
Just to tell about the first good man i found.
Yeah, you fill me like the mountains,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
You fill me like the sea, lord,
Not coming past but still at last
Your love brings life to me,
Your love brings life to me.

Dick Cavett T.V. Interview (1970)
Janis it's a shame you couldn't do an up tune for us but I liked that one.
Later in the show.
Yeah, maybe later we'll be talking too. You're really shot after, after a number, let alone
a whole evening I would think.
Yeah, yeah.
You tell me you kind of collapse after a show ?
Well, I'm used to it because I'm so turned on by doing one that it's hard to do, it's hard to stop after one to tell you the
truth, because it just makes you wanna do more.
Your engine is revved up ?
Yeah, sort of!
I know all the hip expressions, you see. Your engine is revved up.
You're a real swinger, I can tell by your shoes, man!
Wait a minute, Janis, Janis. These were good enough for my grand-father, they're good enough for me.
I had a lot of trouble, last week I, er, it wasn't that tune, we opened with another tune and I tore a muscle.
I heard about this. You tore a mussel somewhere near Maryland. Er ...
It was closer to home than that!
Well, er ...
But I played forty minutes, man! I did forty minutes!
Yeah, but how do you, how do you tear a muscle singing, was it from the exhaustion or ...
No, I went ... like that.

Cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Honey, welcome back home.

Crazy Once You Know How
Oh well its much too early, not right now,
How can I love you when i, I dont know how,
I dont know how, I dont know how ?
How can I trust my eyes, do they really see
What is the truth ? its hard for me,
Hard for me, hard for me.
Its hard to understand whats really there,
When all my hopes they just cloud the air,
Cloud the air, cloud the air.
Love is all around me, till we understand
Its easy to see baby, but talk to me.
And love is all around us if we could be free
Love is all around us if we just, if we just try to see.
Ooh wah ooh
Ooh wah ooh
Ooh wah ooh
Ooh wah ooh
Ah.
You say you need me, baby, as you breathe the words,
Thats time for you to leave, oh no!
