The first song is, as my colleague Pinkfreud-ga informed me, "High\n\nGrass Town" by folk singer Bradley Kincaid (July 13, 1895 - September\n\n23, 1989). Unfortunately, Kincaid's recordings are very rare. But I\n\nfound a CD that contains his "High Grass Town", available for $15.00\n\nfrom Country Sales:\n\nhttp://www.countysales.com/php-bin/ecomm4/products.php?product_id=2038\n\n\n\nIf you would like to know more about Bradley Kincaid, please follow these links:\n\n\n\nWikipedia Encyclopedia: Bradley Kincaid\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_Kincaid\n\n\n\nNashville Songwriters Foundation: Hall of Fame - Bradley Kincaid\n\nhttp://www.nashvillesongwritersfoundation.com/fame/kincaid.html\n\n\n\nThe second song are lines from "The Song of Hiawatha" by Henry\n\nWadsworth Longfellow (February 27, 1807 – March 24, 1882). More\n\nprecisely, those lines derive from part III of the poem, "Hiawatha's\n\nChildhood". Here are the exact words:\n\n\n\n"Wah-wah-taysee, little fire-fly,\n\nLittle, flitting, white-fire insect,\n\nLittle, dancing, white-fire creature,\n\nLight me with your little candle,\n\nEre upon my bed I lay me,\n\nEre in sleep I close my eyelids!"\n\n\n\nYou can read the entire text of "Hiawatha's Childhood" here, at Classic Reader:\n\nhttp://www.classicreader.com/read.php/sid./bookid.147/sec.4/\n\n\n\nIf you would like to learn about the author, please follow this link\n\nto the Wikipedia Encyclopedia:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Wadsworth_Longfellow\n\n\n\n\n\nThe third song is an old traditional, a recursive song which can be\n\nfound in numerous variants. Basically, the lyrics are always:\n\n\n\n"Around the corner, and under a tree,\n\nA gallant soldier made love to me.\n\nHe kissed me once and then he kissed me twice.\n\nIt wasn't exactly the thing to do, but golly it was nice!"\n\n\n\nHowever, instead of "a gallant soldier", many variations exist, like:\n\n- sergeant major\n\n- gallant sailor\n\n- hardhead soldier\n\n- Bengali lady\n\n- Malay lady\n\n- Tamil lady\n\n- Chinese lady\n\n\n\nThe song is of unknown origin and dates at least from World War I.

Dream Weaver - by Gary Wright\n\nI've just closed my eyes again\nClimbed aboard the dream weaver train\nDriver take away my worries of today\nAnd leave tomorrow behind\n\nChorus:\nDream weaver I belive you can get me trough the night\nDream weaver I belive we can reach the morning light\n\nFly me high through the starry skies\nMaybe to an astral plane\nCross the highways of fantasy\nHelp me to forget todays pain\n\nChorus:\n\nThough the dawn may be coming soon\nThere still may be some time\nFly me away to the bright side of the moon\nAnd meet me on the other side\n\n~Mark :)

The closest ones I can think of are the following, but I don't know if they're what you're looking for:\n\n"Get Me Through December" - Alison Krauss\n"One Way Ticket" - LeAnn Rimes\n"Is There Life Out There" - Reba McEntire\n\nThat last one probably relates the most to the search for happiness.

I love Niel, but Dylan is a better Songwriter. Check out the lyrics to "tweeter and the monkey man" (a Wilbuys take) but a Dylan song. The best!
