Fritz and K.D. Lang

I’ll be posting the results of our Shadowplay Fritz Lang songwriting contest late tomorrow. But it’s not too late for any last-minute entries.

A young man is full of adventure,
and eager to do what he can!
He may be a boy, but don’t send a boy
To do the work of a man!
Get away — get away
Get away, young man, get away!
A young man will come when you call him,
And leave when you tell him to go,
But some day he’ll guess, a woman means yes,
Whenever a woman says no!
Get away…
A woman is only a creature
Of notions and dimples and lies
So learn if you can, this lesson, young man,
And don’t run off when she cries
Get away —get away…..
If you can! 

~ From Ken Darby’s song Get Away, Young Man, from Fritz Lang’s RANCHO NOTORIOUS.

And…

I’m a shadow since you’re gone
Just a shadow in the dawn
That breaks in the sand
A shadow lost in shadowland
My poor heart just flew away
When it realized one day
The dreams that we planned
Would only end in shadowland

~ From Shadowland, by K.D. Lang.
