Where the sidewalk Ends

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight,
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black,
And the dark street winds and bends,
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow,
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go,
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

Phenomenal Woman

Pretty woman wonder where my secret lies.
i'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But whein i start to tell them,
They think i'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally,
Phenomenal woman, 
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hives of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet,
I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery
When i try to show them
They say they still can't see
I say
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style,
I'm a woman

Phenomenally,
Phenomenal woman,
that's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.,
When you see me passing,
It thought to make you proud,
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
The palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
Cause i'm a woman
Phenomenally,
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
