1) Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash as we fell into the sun, And the first one said to the second one there I hope youre having fun-
.
2) Remember when the circus came to town And you were frightened by the clown?
.
3) I looked out this morning and the sun was gone-Turned on some music to start my day -I lost myself in a familiar song- I closed my eyes and I slipped away
.
4) I got chills-They're multiplying-And I'm losing control
.
5)Now if you feel that you can't go on-Because all of your hope is gone-And your life is filled with much confusion-Until happiness is just an illusion
.
6) And I would have liked to have known you-But I was just a kid
.
7) Quite some time, I been sittin' it out-Didn't take no chances-I was a pris'ner of doubt.
.
8) I've been walkin' these streets so long-Singin' the same old song-I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
.
9) And if it's bad-Don't let it get you down, you can take it. And if it hurts-Don't let them see you cry, you can take it
.
10)Girl-it's been a long time that we've been apart
.
11) A long time forgotten are dreams that just felt by the way. And the good life he promised ain't what she's living to day.

I don't know squat about poetry. :)
Lynne and I were working at the same time I guess. Oh man, I had 5 on the tip of my tongue!
Lynne/Patrick-Great job! You answered almost all of them correctly between the two of you. I'm not going to say who guessed wrong or which guesses are wrong at this point.
Hi Larry,
I wrote song titles down before looking at Lynne's & Patrick's comments, so here's what I came up with.
1) Band on the Run - Paul McCartney & Wings
2) Don't Cry Out Loud - Melissa Manchester
3) More Than A Feeling - Boston
4) You're the One That I Want - Olivia Newton-John & John Travolta (from Grease)
6) Candle in the Wind - Sir Elton John
Thanks for bringing back this game....it looks like I've gotten pretty rusty!
Oh, oh, oh....I know! No, Patrick got that one, darn.
Oh, oh, oh.... drats, Lynne got that one....
Uh....
Every attempt has been correct up to this point except Lynne needed to switch the answers for 9 and 10 on the bird i.d.-Sorry for those of you who joined in late.
Hey! I want to know the names of the poems. Those are lovely lines. The first is a teensy bit familiar, but alas . . . .
10 is from the Scorpions, "There's no one like you!", one of my favourite songs way back in the late 1980ies!
Cool beans!
jochen-You've got it!

poem 1-There is another sky -by Emily Dickinson
poem 2-Where the Sidewalk Ends- by Shel Silverstein
From Miss Dickinson:
there is another sky
ever serene and fair,
and there is another sunshine,
tho' it be darkness there -
never mind faded forests, Austin,
never mind silent fields -
here is a little forest
whose leaf is ever green -
here is a brighter garden -
where not a frost has been,
in its unfading flowers
I hear the bright bee hum,
prithee, my Brother,
into my garden come!
7. Straight On--Heart
11 sounds familiar, but I can't place it.
