You don't even know my name
Time was when you would
Take the love you've given all away
Take a part of me
You don't even walk my road
Can't find where you turned
Looked away and you were gone
Now we're on our own
Old man is this why we're alone
I, I believe
What is lost for ever has brought the change in me
I, I believe
What is lost for ever has brought the change in me
You don't even know my world
I've tried hard to see
If I'd found the world you're looking for
There'd be a change in me
You don't even know my name
Time was when you would
Take the love you've given all away
Take a part of me
You've gone and changed the world I see
I, I believe
What is lost for ever has brought the change in me
I, I believe
What is lost for ever has brought the change in me
The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of love
Still there when the innocence has gone
But we have each other we laugh and we cry
The cares of the world still carry on
Yes I believe in a better world
And like the rest of us I pray
For peace on this earth and a better life
With every beautiful day
I once met a holy man who showed me the way
The road to tranquility at last
The more he was listening, the more he would say
With the tales of the days of future passed
He said "Yes I believe in a better world
And like the rest of us I try
To hold on to hope for a better life
With every day that goes by"
And if we dare to dream of Paradise unseen
It might come true
And if you stand by me
I swear with all my heart
I'll stand by you
Yes, I believe in a better world
A world where my sisters can be free
And I have a place in my brother's heart
For everybody to see
I dream of my destiny, my days in the sun
To live in the garden of our love
I search for some happiness
I search for my soul
I pray for some strength from God above
Yes, I believe in a better world
And like the rest of us, I pray
For peace on this earth and a better life
With every beautiful day
With every beautiful day.
Bluebird, flying high
Tell me what you sing
If you could talk to me
What news would you bring
Of voices in the sky
Nightingale, hovering high
Harmonize the wind
Darkness, your symphony
I can hear you sing
Of voices in the sky
Just what is happening to me
I lie awake with the sound of the sea
Calling to me
Old man, passing by
Tell me what you sing
Though your voice be faint
I am listening
Voices in the sky
Children with a skipping rope
Tell me what you sing
Play time is nearly gone
The bell's about to ring
Voices in the sky
Just what is happening to me
I lie awake with the sound of the sea
Calling to me
Bluebird, flying high
Tell me what you sing
If you could talk to me
What news would you bring
Of voices in the sky
Voices in the sky
Voices in the sky
Voices in the sky
When I think of all the things
that we've been through
And the the things we've yet to do
I... I start to realize
The world is such a lonely place
Want to be with you
I remember all the heartaches we have known
The angry nights when we were lonely
The jealousy and pain
Can we remain the same
The world will have to hold it's breath
Want to be with you
I don't need a reason
I don't need to understand
I just want to be
Want to be with you
Only want your love
Only want you by my side
Only want to be
Want to be with you
And when I look back down that road
I see the turnings that we both made
The choice we had to make
The promises we break
Are nothing more than memories
Want to be with you
The jealousy and pain
Can we remain the same
The world will have to hold it's breath
Want to be with you
I don't need a reason
I don't need to understand
I just want to be
Want to be with you
Only want your love
Only want you by my side
Only want to be
The sounds in my mind just come to me
Come see, come see
And the call of her eyes makes waterfalls
Of me, of me
In the garden of her love I'll stay awhile
To be, to be
What the seeds of her thoughts once mean to me
Come see, come see
Visions of paradise, cloudless skies I see
Rainbows on the hill, blue onyx on the sea
Come see, ah, ah, ah
And the sounds in my mind just come to me
Come see, come see
And the call of her eyes, makes waterfalls
The lights go down
The stage is set
The man in the wings breaks out in sweat
A backstage joker spiked his coke
While the dressing room was full of smoke
A crowd of fools got him high
He's afraid he's gonna die
He's the apple of their eye
He steps into the remaining light
The crowd go wild
He's outa sight
Arms held high in the sign of peace
His manager signed the one night lease
The house is full getting high
He's afraid he's gonna die
He's the apple of their eye
(He struts, he strolls)
(His love is rock 'n' roll)
He's the VETERAN COSMIC ROCKER
He steps into the remaining light
The crowd go wild
Arms held high in the sign of peace
His manager signed the one night lease
The house is full getting high
He's afraid he's gonna die
He's the apple of their eye
(He struts, he strolls)
(His life is rock 'n' roll)
He's the VETERAN COSMIC ROCKER
Now listen to me people
'Cause I wanna tell you something.
Every single day
I go on my way
And I won't worry about my baby,
Worry about my girl,
'Cause she's a pretty one.
Yeah, yeah,
Whoa, yeah.
Find me another woman,
My love for her is gone,
And I don't worry about my baby,
Worry about my girl,
Oh yeah.
Just have to tell me true,
Oh yeah.
If she had to do the thing she done
She might have used more tact;
I can't be responsible
For all the love she lacked.
Yeah, yeah.
This is a true story, people.
That's a pretty tune.
I'm a'telling you
'Cause every single day
When I go on my way
I won't worry about my baby,
Yeah, she's in another town, [?]
I'll tell you, baby,
Whoa, yeah.
Balloons flying
Children sighing
What a day to go kite flying
Breeze is cool
Away from school
Cowboys fighting out a duel
Time seems to stand quite still
In a child's world it always will
Fishes biting
So exciting
Lunchtime sounds so inviting
Angler Bill
He gets a thrill
Sitting watching bobbing quill
Time seems to stand quite still
In a child's world it always will
Yesterday's dreams
Are tomorrow's sighs
Watch children playing
They seem so wise
Mary Green
Today's a queen
One thousand dollies are her dream
In cotton frocks
And golden locks
Her palace is an orange box
Time seems to stand quite still
When the white eagle of the North is flying overhead
The browns, reds and golds of autumn lie in the gutter, dead.
Remember then, that summer birds with wings of fire flaying
Came to witness springs new hope, born of leaves decaying.
Just as new life will come from death, love will come at leisure.
Love of love, love of life and giving without measure
Gives in return a wonderous yearn of a promise almost seen.
Live hand-in-hand and together we'll stand on the threshold of a dream.
Cold hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colours from our sight,
Red is gray and yellow white,
But we decide which is right.
And which is an illusion?
Pinprick holes in a colourless sky,
Let insipid figures of light pass by,
The mighty light of ten thousand suns,
Challenges infinity and is soon gone.
Night time, to some a brief interlude,
To others the fear of solitude.
Brave Helios wake up your steads,
Tuesday, afternoon,
I'm just beginning to see,
Now I'm on my way,
It doesn't matter to me,
Chasing the clouds away.
Something, calls to me,
The trees are drawing me near,
I've got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear
Explain it all with a sigh.
I'm looking at myself, reflections of my mind,
It's just the kind of day to leave myself behind,
So gently swaying thru the fairy-land of love,
If you'll just come with me and see the beauty of
Tuesday afternoon.
Tuesday afternoon.
Tuesday, afternoon,
I'm just beginning to see,
Now I'm on my way,
It doesn't matter to me,
Chasing the clouds away.
Something, calls to me,
The trees are drawing me near,
I've got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear
Explain it all with a sigh.
Something you got, baby,
Makes me work all day.
Something you got, baby,
Makes me bring you home my pay.
Something you got,
Yeah,
Ah you ought to know,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I said "my my, oh oh, I love you so".
Something you got, baby,
Keeps me home every night.
Something you got, baby,
Makes everything alright.
Something you got,
Let me tell you,
I think you ought to know,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I said "my my, oh oh, I love you so".
Something you got, baby,
Let me tell you again,
I said "my my, oh oh, I love you so".
Something you got, baby,
Makes me work all day.
Something you got, baby,
Makes me bring you home my pay.
Something you got,
Yeah,
Ah you ought to know,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I said "my my, oh oh".
As time goes by you will see
That we're going to be free
You and me, we'll touch the sky
Can you see in your mind's eye
That we are one
We're all the same
And life is just a simple game
There, by your side, I will be
When this crazy world is free
Free from doubt
When it finds out
Exactly what we're meant to be
That we are one
We're all the same
And life is just a simple game
Thoughts of another day
Flashing through my head
Thinking how life could be
All of the things that our great men have said
Be what we want to be
What we deserve to be
What we are meant to be
As time goes by, you will see
That we're going to be free
You and me, we'll touch the sky
Can you see in your mind's eye
That we are one
We're all the same
And life is just a simple game
We're gonna be free
Oohhh, gonna be free
Gonna be free
(Free, gonna be free, gonna be free, Oohhh)
Say what you mean, mean what you say
Say what you mean, mean what you say
Let's walk into the forest
Only witnessed by the moon
And the breeze that once would chill us
Now excites
Say what you mean, mean what you say
And we'll touch the secret places
As the earth beneath us breathes
And the raw exquisite ecstasy
Rushes in
Say what you mean, mean what you say
When you're swallowing all your pride
Do you need somewhere
A place to hide
A smile from your face
Where the light comes shining through
All its strength it came from you
It's lost now all that age before I knew you
Is it that forever is hard to find
You made me recognise what I'd been leaving far behind
Is it closing in on you like it was on me
This time I'm saved by the music
Saved by the song we can sing
This time I'm saved by the music
Saved by the song that you bring
When you're following all life's lies
And find its meaning
The truth still hides
Don't cover your face
Let the warmth come flowing through
Welcome dawn new morning dew
This time I'm saved by the music
Saved by the song we can sing
This time I'm saved by the music
Saved by the song that you bring
When you're swallowing all life's lies
This time we're saved by the music
Saved by the song we can sing
This time we're saved by the music
Saved by the song that you bring
'Your painted smile hides you still
While you search yourself within
Yesterday and tomorrow's found
Fused as one upon solid ground
As all around the milling crowd
Confuse themselves with raging sounds
And their loves forgetfulness abounds
So be thankful for your greasepainted clown
If lonliness wears the crown
Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you, oh how I love you.
Gazing at people, some hand in hand,
Just what I'm going through they can't understand.
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.
And I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I've always missed, with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
Breath deep
The gathering gloom
Watch lights fade
From every room
Bedsitter people
Look back and lament
Another day's useless
Energy spent
Empassioned lovers
Wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love
And has none
New mother picks up
And suckles her son
Senior citizens
Wish they were young
Cold hearted orb
That rules the night
Removes the colours
From our sight
Red is gray and
Yellow white
But we decide
Which is right
And
Which is an Illusion
I'm going to sing my song
And sing it all day long
A song that never ends
How can I tell you, all the things inside my head.
The change in these past years
Has made me see our world
In many different ways
How can I tell you, love can change our destiny.
Love can change the world
Love can change your life
Do what makes you happy
Do what you know is right
And love with all your might
Before it's too late
Where did I find all these words
Something inside of me is burning
There's life in other worlds
Maybe they'll come to earth
Helping man to find a way
One day I hope we'll be in perfect harmony
A planet with one mind
Then I could tell you
All the things inside my head
I'm going to sing my song
And sing it all day long
A song that never ends
How can I tell you, all the things inside my head.
I'm going to sing my song
Oh I dreamed last night I was hearing
Hearing your voice
And the things that you said well they left me
Left me no choice
And you told me we had the power
And you told me this was the hour
That you don't know how
If I could show you now
Well I dreamed last night you were calling
Calling my name
You were locked inside of you secrets
Calling my name
And you told me lost was the key
And you told me how you long to be free
That you don't know how
Oh let me show you now
Like a bird on a far distant mountain
Like a ship on an uncharted sea
You are lost in the arms that have found you
Don't be afraid
Love's plans are made
Oh don't be afraid
If there's a time
And a place to begin love
It must be now
Let it go
Set it free
Oh I dreamed last night I was hearing
Hearing your voice
Why did you say those things that have left me
Left me no choice
When you told me we had the power
Why did you tell me now was the hour
But you don't know how
Oh let me show you now
Like a bird on a far distant mountain
Like a ship on an uncharted sea
You are lost in the arms that have found you
Oh don't be afraid
Love's plans are made
Don't be afraid
If there's a time
And a place to begin love
It must be now
Let it go
Set it free
Oh I dreamed last night I was hearing
Long time no see
Short time for you and me
We're on the road
Like you knew we would
First night, so long
A state of mind
What can go wrong
We're here, the time is right
To rock 'n' roll
Right through the night
Make it work out
Make it work
Make it work out
Make it work out
For each other tonight
State fright, candle light
You can let go
Tonight's the night
Came back for you
Glad to see
That you came too
There's a place a Gemini dream
There's no escaping from the love we have seen
So come with me, turn night to day
You gonna wake up
You know you gonna wake up in a Gemini dream
Turned round to see
Where we've been
And what we believe
In life, love
Take a chance
See it through
You'll be glad
That you came too
There's a place a Gemini dream
There's no escaping from the love we have seen
So come with me, turn night to day
You gonna wake up
You know you gonna wake up in a Gemini dream
Long time no see
The lights go up
For you and me
We're here
The time is right
To rock 'n' roll
Right through the night
Living it
Believing it
Wanting it
Make it work out
Make it work
Make it work out
Make it work out
For each other tonight
Long time no see
Short time for you and me
So fine so far so good
We're on the road
Do you remember long ago?
And how we loved when we were children
Let's be like children
This Christmas time
And if you say that you'll be mine
Then all the stars will shine around us
Love will surround us
This Christmas time
(Ahhhh, ahhhh)
I don't need a reindeer
I don't need the snow
Tell me you love me
And I'm ready to go
Out of the darkness, into the light
This is the Christmas where we make it all right
Make it all right
I hear you talking in my dreams
Of nights of love and days of wonder
I still remember each Christmas time
So if you see me on the street
No need ask me what would please me
It's your love, believe me
This Christmas time
(Ahhhh, ahhhh)
I don't need a reindeer
I don't need the snow
Tell me you love me
And I'm ready to go
Out of the darkness, into the light
This is the Christmas where we make it all right
Yeah, don't need the snow
Yeah, I'm ready to go
This is the season of beauty and light
Love, love, we can make it all right
Make it all right
I don't need a reindeer
Don't need the snow
Tell me you love me
And I'm ready to go
Out of the darkness into the light
This is the Christmas where we make it all right
Yeah, people will sing
Sing of the new life and the joy it will bring
This is the season of beauty and light
Love, love we can make it all right
Yeah...
Love, love we can make it all right
'Cause all the world over, the people will sing
Yeah, the joy it can bring
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.
Instrumental
Who are you now
First love of mine
If you could see
You'd reach out for me
In hallways
And in secret doorways
Were love's hiding places
With nowhere to go
Goodbye
To the fields and byways
I remember saying
I don't want to leave
Cos you, were all, there was to know
About me
Somewhere
On this crazy island
A familiar stranger
Sleeps so far away
Wonder in the eyes of children
And the smile of fortune
Helps the memory fade
Cos they are all there is to know
About me
Who are you now
Walking through that door
Outside we came nowhere at all
Perhaps the answers here
Not there anymore
Then in our hearts the light broke through
A path lost for years is there in view
House of four doors
You'll be lost now forever
House of four doors
Rest of life's life forever
House of four doors
You'll be lost now forever
A gypsy of a strange and distant time
Travelling in panic all direction blind
Aching for the warmth of a burning sun
Freezing in the emptiness of where he'd come from
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Left without a hope of coming home
Speeding through a shadow of a million years
Darkness is the only sound to reach his ears
Frightening him with the visions of eternity
Screaming for a future that can never be
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Left without a hope of coming home
A gypsy of a strange and distant time
Travelling in panic all direction blind
Aching for the warmth of a burning sun
Freezing in the emptiness of where he'd come from
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Left without a hope of coming home
Long time ago, back in the mist of time
Back when the crystal waters flowed
There was a world
So strange and so beautiful
All life would flourish and would grow
Years went by, time just fell away
Love was worshiped like the sun
But as we arrive at the house of the water sign
We're living in strange times
Strange times
Strange times
What do we need
What do we hunger for
Who holds the secrets, who will know
Temples of greed
In ruins on the river bed
Wastelands that lived before the snow
Time stands still
As we race through the universe
On our way to the sun
And as we arrive at the house of the water sign
We're living in strange times
Strange times,
Strange times
It's you and I forever
We won't be afraid
Even if the stars are falling down, down, down, down, down
Falling down
Time stands still as we race through the universe
On our way to the sun
And as we arrive at the house of the water sign
We're living in strange times
Strange times,
Thank you, baby,
You stood by me when times are blue.
Thank you, baby,
And now I'll make it up to you.
Gonna make time stand still,
You know I will,
Gonna make time stand still.
And every day I'm gonna say,
And every day, oh babe,
And every day, I'm gonna say
Thank you, baby,
You give me love and pull me through
Thank you, baby,
For the time I needed you.
I'm gonna make time stand in one place,
I'm gonna make time stand still.
And every day I'm gonna say
The little sad man's gonna help me [well, that's what it sounds like to me]
No, every day, I'm gonna say,
Thank you, baby,
Even though they're not too long ago
I saw my troubles grow,
Grow and grow.
Wiith you by my side, little baby,
You've made them run and hide,
Never, yeah, to show -ow -ow -ow, to show
Thank you, baby,
Oh, you give me love and pull me through,
Thank you, baby,
For the time I needed you,
Yeah I'm gonna make time stand in one place,
I'm gonna make time stand still,
And every day, even every nght, I'm gonna say
And every day I'm gonna say,
Thank you, baby,
Oh, thank you, baby,
Thank you very much.
Thank you, baby,
Thank you, baby,
[repeat to fadeout]
I took a ride in a limousine
I took a road I'd never been
I met a stranger by the way
His coat was torn but his eyes were clear
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' in a slide zone
He told me where a river flows
He showed me how the apple grows
He told me of a magic stream
His face was worn but his eyes were clear
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' in a slide zone
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' through a time zone
He went to find a shooting star
Around the bend that's where they are
I went along just for the ride
Suddenly I began to glide
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' through a time zone
The air raced by there was no sound
We drifted high above the ground
And then said you know this place
And then a smile lit up his face
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' in a slide zone
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' through a time zone
I turned my head and looked below
And there was something there I know
Suddenly I began to fall
I looked around and tried to call
Standing in a slide zone
He had me steppin' in a time zone
Standing in a slide zone
Falling through a time zone
Help me please I thought I said
Then something happened in my head
Music came from all around
And I knew what I had found
Standing in a slide zone
Falling through a time zone
Steppin' in a slide zone
He had me falling through a time zone
Work away today, work away tomorrow.
Work away today, think about tomorrow
Never comes the day for my love and me.
I feel her gently sighing as the evening slips away.
If only you knew what's inside of me now
You wouldn't want to know me somehow,
You will love me tonight,
We alone will be alright,
In the end.
Give just a little bit more
Take a little bit less
From each other tonight
Admit what you're feeling
And see what's in front of you,
It's never out of your sight.
You know it's true,
A wonderful day for passing my way.
Knock on my door and even the score
With your eyes.
Lovely to see you again my friend.
Walk along with me to the next bend.
Dark cloud of fear is blowing away.
Now that you're here, you're going to stay
'cause it's
Lovely to see you again my friend.
Walk along with me to the next bend.
Tells us what you've seen in faraway forgotten lands.
Where empires have turned back to sand.
Wonderful day for passing my way.
Knock on my door and even the score
With your eyes.
Lovely to see you again my friend.
Desolation...
Creation...
Communication...
The rain is on the roof
Hurry high butterfly
As clouds roll past my head
I know why the skys all cry
OM, OM, Heaven, OM
The Earth turns slowly round
Far away the distant sound
Is with us everyday
Can you hear what it say
OM, OM, Heaven, OM
The rain is on the roof
Hurry high butterfly
As clouds roll past my head
I know why the skys all cry
Pain, sorrow, tears
Long, lonely years
With love
Having passed me by
I could live a lie for you
But truth is the road I choose
Knowing all I need to do
Is give to you
Down, down down
Where your dreams are found
They're sleeping inside of us all
They're sleeping inside of us all
Nights, winters, years
Pain, sorrow, tears of mine
Cannot hold me now
I'm a fool to fall for you
But here
In the morning light
Tell me how can love be wrong
And feel so right
My brother
If you could cast a little light on someone
It's not too soon
You took me halfway round the world
I'm running out of time and reasons
My true friend
If you could tell me what it is that keeps you
From coming down
You left me way up in the clouds
The higher you fly
The less I see you
So far
Cross a wild and windy sea
So far
That our voices are divided by an ocean
An ocean
My brother
If you could take a little time to slow down
It's more your style
It takes a lifetime to decide
I'm running out of time and reasons
I'm running out
I'm running out
So far
Cross a wild and windy sea
So far
That our voices are
Divided by an ocean
Just in a simple conversation
You can hear the feeling change
Down to the sea
And if you need an explanation
I defy you to explain
But something's not the same
And it's bothering me
I think I see where I went wrong
I think I see what's going on
Meanwhile and far away
As the night draws in
He's holding her right now
I can feel it all begin
Meanwhile and far away
When the day is done
I ride away with my friend
Into the setting sun
And the rivers running down
Down to the sea
I let love slip right through my fingers
And I watched it drift away
But still I had to say
What was written for me
I thought I'd end up as the hero
Thought the glory would be mine
Very soon I was to find
It wasn't to be
'Cos in this part I've got to play
It doesn't quite turn out that way
Meanwhile and far away
As the night draws in
He's holding her right now
I can feel it all begin
Meanwhile and far away
When the day is done
I ride away with my friend
Into the setting sun
And the rivers running down
Maybe
Maybe I'm wrong
To go on thinking, to sing my song
Maybe
This world's falling down
Call up the trumpeters and knock the walls down
Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you
Slowly
Slowly we walk
No harm in crying, no sense in talk
Slowly
The ice melts away
Call on the choir to sing
And turn no-one away
Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you
Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you
Maybe
Maybe I'm wrong
The river holds its breath
The sea will keep its calm
Slowly
Slowly we turn
A look at where we've been
The juggler has to learn
Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you
Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you
When I telephone you
Don't make out you're not at home;
It wouldn't hurt at all to answer the call.
When I hold you near,
When I call you €˜dear€™,
You never seem to want to know me at all.
Oh baby,
Let me go.
If I stay around
Then you're gonna see my heart break.
I can't stand all this heartache
'Cause I love you so,
I find it hard to go,
Well, I can see a change in your ways
'Cause when I'm turning to
How much I think of you
You always look away in a gaze.
Oh baby,
Let me go.
If I stay around
Then you're gonna see my heart break.
I can't stand all this heartache
Like we lost
Every little of love you had for me, baby,
I'm doing, let me go [not sure of this line]
Let me go, let me go, this way,
When I telephone you
Don't make out you're not at home;
It wouldn't hurt at all to answer the call.
And when I hold you near,
When I call you €˜dear€™,
You never seem to want to know me at all.
Oh baby,
Let me go.
If I stay around
Then you're gonna see my heart break.
And I can't stand all this heartache
You'd better let me go, baby,
Oh you'd better let me go, baby,
Oh yeah, let me go.
I'm gonna sit and watch the web
That you will build this day
Will it be a thread of love you weave
Is yours too short away
Then everything will be as you will see in the light
In the eyes of the child
You must come out and see
That your world's spinning 'round
And through life you will be
A small part
Of a hope
Of a love
That exists
In the eyes of a child you will see
In the eyes of the child
Breathe deep the gathering gloom,
Watch lights fade from every room.
Bedsitter people look back and lament,
Another day's useless energy spent.
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one,
Lonely man cries for love and has none.
New mother picks up and suckles her son,
Senior citizens wish they were young.
Cold hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colours from our sight.
Red is grey and yellow white,
But we decide which is right.
Isn't life strange
A turn of the page
Can read like before
Can we ask for more
Each day passes by
How hard man will try
The sea will not wait
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry -
Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wished I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were, and here we are.
Isn't love strange
A word we arrange
With no thought or care
Maker of despair
Each breath that we breathe
With love we must weave
To make us as one
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry -
Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wished I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were, and here we are.
Isn't life strange
A turn of the page
A book without light
Unless with love we write;
To throw it away
To lose just a day
The quicksand of time
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry -
Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wished I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were:
Ain't necessarily so.
Ain't necessarily so.
Things you're liable
To read in a bible
Ain't necessarily so.
Little David he was small, alright,
Yeah, now David he was small alright,
Just like Goliath
Lay dying then he dieth,
Oh he was small, alright.
Little Moses he was found in a stream.
Yeah Moses now he was found in a stream
When that pharoah's sweet daughter
She came by and fished that boy out from the water,
Fished him, she said, from a stream.
Now Jonah now he lived in a whale.
Yeah Jonah he lived in a whale
Yet he made his home in that
Fish's abdomen.
Jonah he lived in a whale.
I said, ain't necessarily so.
No, ain't necessarily so.
The things you're liable
To read in a bible
Ain't necessarily so.
Ain't necessarily so.
No, it ain't necessarily so.
In the quiet of Christmas morning
In the peace of Christmas dawn
The child that is the future
Will see the earth reborn
When we take our Christmas journey
In the steps that went before
With hands across the water
In the peace forever more
In the quiet of Christmas morning
In the peace of Christmas dawn
The child that is the future
Will see the earth reborn
I've got a dream
And, every night, I said to myself,
Yeah, I said I gotta share it,
Share the dream with somebody else.
We could make a beautiful day,
Oh baby, it's a beautiful dream
But what am I going to do with it, baby?
Say, what am I going to do with it, baby?
What am I going to do with it, baby,
Well if I can't share it with you?
I got some love
And, baby, it's the kind that will do.
Yeah, I got a kiss
And give it to someone like you.
The moon is shining up above
And I got a heartful of love
But what am I going to do with it, baby?
Say, what am I going to do with it, baby?
What am I going to do with it, baby,
But if I can't give it to you?
I can't throw it in the river
And I can't toss it in the sea
And I can't put it in a paper bag
So, baby, come and get it from me.
I've got a dream
And, every night, I said to myself,
Yeah, I said I gotta share it,
Share the dream with somebody else.
We could make a beautiful day,
Oh baby, it's a beautiful dream
But what am I going to do with it, baby?
Say, what am I going to do with it, baby?
What am I going to do with it, baby,
But if I can't share it...
But if I can't share it...
Well if I can't share it with you?
Salt water never grew roses
Seems roses can't grow in the sea
A river can fasion a valley
From a thousand sweet drinking streams
I am
I am
I am the son
Yes I am
I am the son
Yes I am the son of love
I am
Burn in the times when eyes could see
What's written in the stars
Freedom was ever
And ever was never far
I am
I never thought I'd live to be a hundred
I never thought I'd get to do
The things that all those other songs do
And they do
I never thought I'd ever have my freedom
An age ago my maker was refusing me
The pleasure of the view
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you
The mist is lifting slowly
I can see the way ahead
And I've left behind the empty streets
That once inspired my life
And the strength of the emotion
Is like thunder in the air
'Cos the promise that we made each other
Haunts me to the end
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you
The secret of your beauty
And the mystery of your soul
I've been searching for in everyone I meet
And the times I've been mistaken
It's impossible to say
And the grass is growing
Underneath our feet
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you
From the words that I remember
From my childhood still are true
That there's no so blind
As those who will not see
And to those who lack the courage
And say it's dangerous to try
Well they just don't know
That love eternal will not be denied
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you
Yes I know it's going to happen
I can feel you getting near
And soon we'll be returning
To the fountain of our youth
And if you wake up wondering
In the darkness I'll be there
My arms will close around you
And protect you with the truth
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you
Instrumental
Now you know that you are real,
Show your friends that you and me
Belong to the same world,
Turned on to the same word,
Have you heard?
Now you know that you are free,
Living all your life at ease.
Each day has its always,
A look down life's hallways, doorways,
So this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
A new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young
Very, merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
The weak and the strong
The rich and the poor ones
The road is so long
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
The yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
A very, merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
My life is not as easy as you say
My life is not anything but as the day
My life is surrounded by the things of the day that have gone
My world is built on everything that I want can be won (one?)
Gimme' a little somethin' to help me on my way
Gimme' a little somethin' to help me on my way
(Love)(Love)
My heart is not as cold as you can say
My heart is not anything but as the day
My heart is warmed by the way that you love and are gone
My life is founded on the thoughts that we two are just one
Gimme' a little somethin' to help me on my way
Gimme' a little somethin' to help me on my way
(Love)(Love)
Gimme' a little somethin' to help me on my way
Gimme' a little somethin' to help me on my way
We've already said €˜Goodbye€™.
Since you've got to go
Oh you had better go now.
Go now. Go now. Go now
Before you see me cry.
I don't want you to tell me
Just what you intend to do now.
'Cause how many times do I have to tell you
Darling, darling,
I'm still in love
With you now?
We've already said €˜So long€™
I don't want to see you go.
Oh you had better go now.
Go now. Go now. Go now
Don't you even try telling me
That you don't want me to end this way
'Cause, darling, darling,
Can't you see I want you to stay?
We've already said €˜Goodbye€™.
Since you've got to go
Oh you had better go now.
Go now. Go now. Go now
Before you see me cry.
I don't want you to tell me
Just what you intend to do now.
'Cause how many times do I have to tell you
Darling, darling,
I'm still in love,
Still in love,
With you now?
I don't want to see you go
But, darling,
You'd better go now.
We ran through the summer fields
Between the earth and sky
Little did we realise
We were flying you and I.
We sang to the stars above
We praised the earth below
You fell into my arms that night
And I've never let you go.
It was beautiful, glorious
We were riding on a wave
With foolish hearts, and foolish love
We would give ourselves away.
Remember how we cried out loud
Heard angry voices shout
I love you as I loved you then
No danger and no doubt.
It was beautiful, glorious
We were riding on a wave
With foolish hearts, and foolish love
We would give ourselves away.
And now as we look behind
To see the road of life
Turning to the ones we love
Salvation is in sight.
'Cos it was beautiful, glorious
We were riding on a wave
With foolish hearts, and foolish love
We would give ourselves away.
Remember how we cried out loud
Heard angry voices shout
I love you as I loved you then
Rise, let us see you,
Dawning is the day,
Miss, misty meadow,
You will find your way,
Wake up in the morning to yourself and leave this crazy life behind you.
Listen, we're trying to find you.
Flow to the sea,
You know where to go,
Still we are free,
No one tells the wind which way to blow.
Wake up in the morning to yourself,
Open your eyes and start to be you.
Listen, we think we can see you.
Baby there's no price upon your head,
Sing it, shout it.
Now the angry words have all been said.
Do it, don't doubt it.
So rise, let us see you,
Dawning is the day,
Miss, misty meadow,
You will find your way,
Wake up in the morning to yourself, open your head and look around you.
Dawn is a feeling
A beautiful ceiling
The smell of grass
Just makes you pass
Into a dream
You're here today
No future fears
This day will last
A thousand years
If you want it to
You look around you
Things they astound you
So breathe in deep
You're not asleep
Open your mind
You're here today
No future fears
This day will last
A thousand years
If you want it to
Do you understand
That all over this land
There's a feeling
In minds far and near
Things are becoming clear
With a meaning
Now that you're knowing
Pleasure starts flowing
It's true life flies
Faster than eyes
Could ever see
You're here today
No future fears
This day will last
A thousand years
When the sun goes down,
And the clouds all frown,
Night has begun for the sunset.
See it with your eyes;
Earth re-energized
By the sun's rays every day.
Take a look out there,
Planets everywhere.
When the sun goes down,
And the clouds all frown,
Night has begun for the sunset.
Shadows on the ground;
Never make a sound,
Fading away in the sunset.
Night has now become
Day for everyone.
I can see it all
From this great height.
I can feel the sun
Slipping out of sight;
And the world still goes on
Through the night.
Like December snow
That lays in the wood
You're gone too soon
I knew you should
With October skies
You brought your love
But November came
Taking all I have and
Time, take this sadness from me
Time, bring my heart back safely
Hold on to warm September
'Cause life can be like December snow
With your touch of love
In this autumn world
The sun was bright
The songs were heard
And maybe fools like me
Are under your spell
But with leaves that fall
I hear you calling
Time, take this sadness from me
Time, bring my heart back safely
Hold on to warm September
'Cause life can be like December snow
Time, take this sadness from me
Time, bring my heart back safely
Hold on to warm September
Dear diary, what a day it's been.
Dear diary, it's been just like a dream.
Woke up late. Wasn't where I should have been.
For goodness sake what's happening to me.
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary.
It was cold outside my door.
So many people by the score.
Rushing around so senselessly.
They don't notice there's people like me.
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary.
They don't know what they're playing.
They've no way of knowing what the game is.
Still they carry on doing what they can.
Outside me, yours truly, dear diary.
It's over. Will tomorrow be the same
I know that they're really not to blame.
If they wern't so blind then surely they'd see.
There's a much better way for them to be.
Inside me, yours truly, dear diary.
...
Somebody exploded an H-bomb today.
But it wasn't anyone I knew.
Be it sight, sound, the smell, the touch.
There's something,
Inside that we need so much,
The sight of a touch, or the scent of a sound,
Or the strength of an arquebus deep in the ground.
The wonder of flowers, to be covered, and then to burst up,
Thru tarmack, to the sun again,
Or to fly to the sun without burning a wing,
To lie in the meadow and hear the grass sing,
To have all these things in our memories hoard,
And to use them,
To help us,
To find...
Ask the mirror on the wall
Who's the biggest fool of all,
Bet you feel small,
It happens to us all.
See the world
Ask what's it for,
Understanding, nothing more,
Don't you feel small,
It happens to us all.
Time is now to spread your voice,
Time's to come there'll be no choice,
Why do you feel small,
It happens to us all.
Look at progress,
Then count the cost,
We'll spoil the seas
With the rivers we've lost.
See the writing on the wall,
Hear the mirror's warning call.
That's why you feel small,
It happens to us all.
Ask the mirror on the wall
Who's the biggest fool of all,
Bet you feel small,
Is that the wind
On your face?
Are you sure you're alone?
Are you sure you're alone?
Feel the chill
Of an empty space
Are you sure you're alone?
Are you sure you're alone?
In the middle of the night
Is that your heart you hear
Or a train to nowhere
That pounding in your ear?
Have you reached your breaking point?
Have you reached your breaking point tonight?
Only when you're sleeping can you drift away
No one can hurt you
Listen to the secret of your dreams
Though you want to sleep forever
Still you must return
Hands of ice
Down your spine
Are you sure you're alone?
Are you sure you're alone?
Feel the grip
Of a clinging vine
Are you sure you're alone?
Are you sure you're alone?
In the middle of the night
Is that your voice I hear?
Or the wind that's calling
Back across the years?
Have you reached your breaking point?
Something you can't hide
Says you're lonely
Hidden deep inside
Of you only
It's there for you to see
Take a look and be
Burn slowly the candle of life
Something there outside
Says we're only
In the hands of time
Falling slowly
It's there for us to know
With love that we can go
Burn slowly the candle of life
So love everybody
And make them your friend
So love everybody
And make them your friend
Something you can't hide
Says you're lonely
Hidden deep inside
Of you only
It's there for you to see
Take a look and be
Burn slowly the candle of life
Something there outside
Says we're only
In the hands of time
Falling slowly
It's there for us to know
With love that we can go
Burn slowly the candle of life
I say bye bye, bird
I say bye bye, bird
I say bye bye, baby
I say bye bye
Bye bye, baby, bye bye
I said bye bye, birdie
I said bye bye, birdie
Bye bye, baby
Bye bye, birdie
Now if you want to say goodbye to your girl
I want to give you one or two little tips, yeah
Say, "Bye bye, baby" and then you say, "Bye bye, birds"
Then you say, "Get the suitcase, honey"
"I don't wanna see you", hear the words
Say bye bye
Say bye bye
Bye bye, babe
Bye bye, bird
Now if you want to say goodbye to your girl
I want to give you one or two little tips
Say, "Bye bye, bird", then say, "Bye bye, bird"
"Bye bye, girl", mmm, not another word
I say bye, I say bye
I say bye, bye
Say bye bye
Bye bye, baby
Yeah, let's swing it on
Bye bye, birdie
Bye bye, bird
Bye bye, baby
Bye bye
Bye bye, babe
Bye bye, babe
Bye bye, babe
Bye bye, baby
Bye bye, girl
Take another sip my love and see what you will see,
A fleet of golden galleons, on a crystal sea.
Are you sitting comfortably
Let Merlin cast his spell.
Ride along the winds of time and see where we have been,
The glorious age of Camelot, when Guinevere was Queen.
It all unfolds before your eyes
As Merlin casts his spell.
The seven wonders of the world he'll lay before your feet,
In far-off lands, on distant shores, so many friends to meet.
Are you sitting comfortably
Let Merlin cast his spell.
Blue guitar
Fortune of my ways
Making of my days
New chord
Counting up the ways
Happiness is lazy
If you don't know the song
If you can't put the words to the tune
Tell the rhyme from the reason
What should it matter
To the fool or the dreamer
New hope
Travellers in a storm
Finding love is warm
New day
The world has just begun
Our eyes have seen the sun
If you don't know the way
If you can't see the wood for the trees
Taste the wine from the water
Well what should it matter
To the fool or the dreamer
(Instrumental)
I've been searching for my dream
A hunderd times today
I build them up, you knock them down,
Like they were made of clay,
Then the tide rushes in
And washes my castles away.
Then I'm really not so sure
When side of the bed I should lay,
I should lay...
You keep looking for someone
To tell your troubles to,
I'll sit down and lend an ear
Yet I hear nothing new.
Then the tide rushes in
And washes my castles away.
Then I'm really not so sure
When side of the bed I should lay,
I should lay...
Blackbird sitting in a tree
Observing what's below
Acorns falling to the ground,
He'll stay and watch them grow.
The nights are colder now
Maybe I should close the door
And anyway the snow has covered all your footsteps
And I can follow you no more
The fire still burns at night
The memories are warm and clear
But everybody knows
It's hard to be alone this time of year
It was only a winter's tale
Just another winter's tale
And why should the world take notice
Of one more love that's failed?
A love that can never be
Though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world-wide scale
We're just another winter's tale
While I stand alone
A bell is ringing far away
I wonder if you're here
I wonder if you're listening
I wonder where you are today
Good luck, I wish you well
For all that wishes may be worth
I hope that love and strength
Are with you for the length
Of your time on earth
It was only a winter's tale
Just another winter's tale
And why should the world take notice
Of one more love that's failed?
It's a love that can never be
Though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world-wide scale
We're just another winter's tale
It was only a winter's tale
Just another winter's tale
And why should the world take notice
Of one more love that's failed?
It's a love that can never be
Though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world-wide scale
We're just another winter's tale
Blasting, billowing, bursting forth
With the power of ten billion butterfly sneezes
Man with his flaming pyre
Has conquered the wayward breezes
Climbing to tranquility
Far above the cloud
Conceiving the heavens
Clear of misty shroud
Higher and higher
Now we've learned to play with fire
Go higher and higher and higher
Vast vision must improve our sight
Perhaps at last we'll see and end
To our own endless blight
And the beginning of the free
Climb to tranquility
Finding it's real worth
Conceiving the heavens
Florishing on earth
Higher and higher
Now we've learned to play with fire
Go higher and higher and higher
Gazing past the planets
Looking for total view
I've been laying here for hours
You gotta make the journey out and in
Wonders of a lifetime
Right there before your eyes
Searching with this life of ours
You gotta make the journey out and in
Out and in, out and in
Will you think it's a joke
That's all right
Do what you want to do
I've said my peace
And I'll leave it all up to you
Wonders of a lifetime
Right there before your eyes
Searching with this life of ours
You gotta make the journey out and in
Out and in, out and in
Will you think it's a joke
That's all right
Do what you want to do
I've said my peace
And I'll leave it all up to you
Gazing past the planets
Looking for total view
I've been laying here for hours
You gotta make the journey out and in
Out and in, out and in
Out and in, out and in
Hark listen here he comes
Hark listen here he comes
Turning, spinning, catherine wheeling
For ever changing
There's no beginning
Speeding through a charcoal sky
Observe the truth we cannot hide
Travelling eternity road
What will you find there
Carrying your heavy load
Searching to find a piece of mind.
You'll see us all around
You'll see us all around
Turning, spinning, catherine wheeling
For ever changing
There's no beginning
You're so very far from home
And so very much alone
Travelling eternity road
What will you find there
Carrying your heavy load
Searching to find a piece of mind.
Travelling eternity road
What will you find there
Carrying your heavy load
Searching to find a piece of mind.
Floating free as a bird
Sixty foot leaps, it's so absurd
From up here you should see the view
Such a lot of space for me and you
Oh, you'll like it
Gliding around, get your feet off the ground
Oh, you'll like it
Do as you please with so much ease
Now I know how it feels
To have wings on my heels
To take a stroll among the stars
Get a close look at planet Mars
Oh, you'll like it
Gliding around, get your feet off the ground
Oh, you'll like it
Do as you please with so much ease
Bouncing about on the moon
Guess you'll all be up here soon
The candy stores will be brand new
And you'll buy rock with "The Moon" right through
Oh, you'll like it
Gliding around, get your feet off the ground
Oh, you'll like it
Listen hear the sound
The child away
Wander all around
The child away
Now in his life he never must be lost
No thoughts must deceive him
In life he must trust
With the eyes of a child
You must come out and see
That your world's spinning 'round
And through life you will be
A small part
Of a hope
Of a love
That exists
In the eyes of a child you will see
Earth falls far away
New life away
Time it has no day
New life away
Here is your dream and now how does it feel
No words will go with you
And now what is real
With the eyes of a child
You must come out and see
That your world's spinning 'round
And through life you will be
A small part
Of a hope
Of a love
That exists
Time hurries on
Look and it's gone
The changing of the autumn tide
The hopes that live
The dreams that die
If I could have you by my side
I'd give it all away
You you and I
We must hold on
We must try
To reach beyond that far off cloud
Along the road we're travellin now
If I could only show you how
I need you there with me
Oh running water
Don't care what people say
We live to love another day
Oh running water
Don't throw your love away
We live to love another day
Time hurries on
Turn around and it's gone
If only we could hold that dream
If only life was what it seemed
I know my darling what you mean
I've seen it slip away
Oh running water
Don't care what people say
We live to love another day
Oh running water
Don't throw your love away
The harder I try
Seems the further I fall
The deeper my love seems to be
And I know that I
Never doubted at all
That someone was waiting for me
Then out of the blue
It was over
And how did you think I would survive
Cos it's cold outside
Yes it's cold outside of your heart
Cos it's cold outside
Yes it's cold outside of your heart
I never thought it could happen to me
Like the one that gets you
That you just don't see
And now I don't want to be free
I thought it was always to be
That someone was waiting for me
The longer the shadows
Become in my life
The colder the breeze seems to be
The days roll on by
Still I can't quite believe
That someone's not waiting for me
The flame of desire
Is still burning
The warmth of your body close to mine
Cos it's cold outside
Yes it's cold outside of your heart
Cos it's cold outside
Yes it's cold outside of your heart
It's a big world to face all alone
And I'm begging you now just to come on home
Cos I, I don't want to be free
I thought it was always to be
That someone was waiting for me
You know that it's you I need
You see I refuse to believe
Heart and soul took control
Took control of me
Paid my dues spread the news
Hands across the sea
Put me down turned me round
Turned me round to see
Marble halls open doors
Someone found the key
And it's only what you do
That keeps coming back on you
And it's only what you say
That can give yourself away
Underground sight and sound
human Symphony
Heard the voice had no choice
needed to be free
Fly me high touch the sky
Left the earth below
Heard the line saw the sign
Knew which way to go
Cos it's easier to try
Than to prove it can't be done
And it's easier to stay
Than to turn around and run
It's a blue world
It takes somebody to help somebody
Oh it's a blue world
It's a new world
It needs somebody to love somebody
Oh it's a blue world
Heart and soul took control
Took control of me
Paid my dues spread the news
Hands across the sea
Put me down turned me round
Turned me round to see
Marble halls open doors
Someone found the key
And it's only what you do
That keeps coming back on you
And it's only what you say
That can give yourself away
Cos it's easier to try
Than to prove it can't be done
And it's easier to stay
Than to turn around and run
It's a blue world
It takes somebody to help somebody
Oh it's a blue world
It's a new world
It needs somebody to love somebody
Oh it's a blue world
It's a blue world
It takes somebody to help somebody
Oh it's a blue world
It's a new world
It needs somebody to love somebody
Oh it's a blue world
Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Reflected in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you
Think about me
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams
Once the world was new
Our bodies felt the morning dew
That greets the brand new day
We couldn't tear ourselves away
I wonder if you care
I wonder if you still remember
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams
And when the music plays
And when the words are
Touched with sorrow
When the music plays
I hear the sound
I had to follow
Once upon a time
Once beneath the stars
The universe was ours
Love was all we knew
And all I knew was you
I wonder if you know
I wonder if you think about it
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams
And when the music plays
And when the words are
Touched with sorrow
When the music plays
And when the music plays
I hear the sound
I had to follow
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Mirrored in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you
Think about me
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams
I need you like you need me
Truly and completely
Never be apart
I think that you should tell me
Come right out and tell me
Just what's in your heart
And if you think that it's alright
Let's make a deal and work it out
We'll walk into the sunset you and I
With no more alibis
When we tell each other
No more lies
Well truth is my addiction
Stranger still than fiction
Wider than the sky
And songs that have such feeling
Words that have such meaning
Dreams that never die
And if you think it sounds okay
Let's turn around and start again
We'll walk beside the ocean hand in hand
With no more alibis
When we tell each other
No more lies
I sometimes think that maybe
You're just a little girl
You know I love you baby
I've got to tell the world
So that's the final story
The truth in all it's glory
See how much I care
You know you drive me crazy
Thrill me and amaze me
Drive me to despair
And if you think that now feels right
Let's close the door and dim the light
We'll greet the dawn together side by side
Just look into my eyes
Cause you know I'll tell you
The Atmosphere
The atmosphere
On the streets tonight
Is the driving beat
Of the world
The word down here
On the streets tonight
Is the truest music
You've heard
So take your share
Of the gifts that are there
They all belong to you
And come what may
At the break of each day
We all begin anew once more
We all begin anew
Baby, baby, baby, let's investigate
The other side of life tonight
The lovers and the fighters
And the risks they take
Are on the other side of life tonight
Let's loose our way
Go completely astray
And find ourselves again
You know the only way to get there
Is to take that step
Some days you're gonna put me on hold
Some days you're gonna put me
On a pedestal up high
I don't know if it's me
I don't know if it's you
I don't know if it's both of us
Not knowing what to do
When we're running out of love
Not knowing what to do
When we're running out of love
And when it comes to taking my calls
There's something more between us
Than a telephone line
I can't believe it's me
I can't believe it's you
I can't believe it's both of us
Not knowing what to do
When we're running out of love
Not knowing what to do
When we're running out of love
Can't think of how we lost our way
Some days I feel
I'm getting very close to you
Can't think of how the story ends
Can't hear the words
I really want to hear from you
We're running out of love
Can't believe we're running out of love
Can't believe we're running out of love
Some people like to put you on hold
Some people like to put you
On a pedestal up high
I don't know if it's me
I don't know if it's you
I don't know if it's both of us
Not knowing what to do
When we're running out of love
Not knowing what to do
When we're running out of love
Can't believe we're running out of love
Can't believe we're running out of love
I'm looking for a better world
Where there's no more hurt
Where there's only hope
For the eagle and the dove
I can see your face
Nothing can take your place
If we sail away on a river of endless love
I'm living in the hands of time
On the wings of love
On the edge of night
Where there's darkness everywhere
I won't be denied
I'm never going to leave your side
I will always be
On the river of endless love
In the silence just before the dawn
The shadows lose their form
We rise to greet the morning
In the calm that comes before the storm
A troubled and a restless heart is born
The river of endless love
I'm tearing down the walls of hate
Gonna start again gonna turn it round
Gonna build it with a prayer
I can always dream
And nothing is what it seems
If you lose your way
In the silence just before the dawn
The shadows lose their form
We rise to greet the morning
In the calm that comes before the storm
A troubled and a restless heart is born
The indestructible has broken down
The undeniable is turned around
And I don't care my love
I just don't care
I love you
The unbelievable has all come true
I love the changes that you've put me through
And I don't care you see
I just don't care
I love you
I see the magic
That we're making now
And a veil is lifted
From my eyes somehow
And the most amazing thing
That comes to light
Is the world looks different
To me overnight
My friends will tell you
That I've lost my cool
The lovesick schoolboy
Turning up for school
But I don't care you know
I just don't care
I love you
I see the magic
That we're making now
And a veil is lifted
From my eyes somehow
And the most amazing thing
That comes to light
Is the world looks different
To me overnight
My friends will tell you
That I've lost my cool
The lovesick schoolboy
Turning up for school
But I don't care you know
I just don't care
I love you
Cos I don't care you see
I just don't care
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows
No chance for a second chance
When the arrows start to fly
No way is an easy way
To say goodbye
No dream is ever lost
If you never cease to try
Never thought you would walk away
From my side
I just can't hide from
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows
Life is ever changing
Nothing stays the same
Nothing in this whole wide world
Can turn us back again
Cos where we're standing now
Is the point of no return
Looking back on a world
that's got to learn
You just can't hide from
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows
Love is the shield
When you're standing
With your back to the wall
And if you turn around
And walk away
You're never gonna lose
Cos love conquers all
No chance for a second chance
When the arrows start to fly
No way is an easy way
To say goodbye
No dream is ever lost
If you never cease to try
Never thought you would walk away
From my side
I just can't hide from
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows
Somewhere in the night
There's a heart that beats so fast
I can feel the heat
Of the fire in your eyes
Burning like a naked flame
Waiting for the ice to break
Counting down the days
Waiting for the weekend
Lonely is the night
Silence is a friend to wake with
With no one else to talk to
But on a Friday night
It's alright, it's alright
You can be who you want to be
Take off for the weekend
If you can dance you can dance with me
'Cos it's Friday night
It's alright, it's alright
Nothing's gonna stop me now
I'm all wired up and ready to go
I'm on my way
Let's get on with the show
Here comes the weekend
Here comes the weekend
Somewhere in the heat
There's a heart that beats so fast
I can hear your voice
Talk to me tonight
Taking a different face
Every time I hear your name
I'm counting down the days
Waiting for the weekend
Lonely is the night
When all are sleeping
Silence is a friend you walk with
With no one else to talk to
But on a Friday night
It's alright, it's alright
You can be who you want to be
Take of for the weekend
If you dance you can dance with me
'Cos it's Friday night
It's alright, it's alright
Nothing's gonna stop me now
I'm all wired up and ready to go
And I'm on my way
It's the weekend
And it's starting today
Here comes the weekend
Every time I hear the sound of the rain
Beating on my roof again
I want to taste your love
And I want to go deep
Deep
I want to go deep
Deep
I want to go deep
Every time I lift my eyes to the sky
Something in my heart asks why
I want to know the truth
And I want to go deep
Deep
I want to go deep
Like the footprints
Disappearing from the sand
I try to catch the thought
It slips right through my hand
And as the darkness
Throws it's cloak upon the ground
I start to run to you
I've got to take you down
I want to go deep
Deep
I want to go deep
Deep
I want to go deep
Every time I feel I'm loosing my way
The power of your love remains
I want to touch your love
An' I want to go deep
Deep
I want to go deep
Deep
I want to go deep
Deep
I closed the door and I walked away
From the life I knew
On a night in June
I took a chance and I lost control
Trying to find out why
On a night in July
Why this hesitation
I an feel that the night is slipping away
Wanna drown in the ocean of your love
Wanna dance in the moonlight
Looking for a miracle
I left the city on a wave of despair
To stand on my own
On an August night
From the valley of broken hearts
Gonna make a new start in September
Why this confusion
I can feel that the night is slipping away
Wanna walk from the shadows to the sun
Just to dream on a summer night
Dream about a miracle
Looking for a miracle
Never had the chance before
To turn the tide my way
In the heat of the summer night
You took my breath away
Looking for a miracle
Wanna walk from the shadows to the sun
Just to dream on a summer night
Dream about a miracle
Your love is just a miracle
I closed the door and I walked away
From the life I knew
On a night in June
I took a chance and I lost control
Trying to find out why
On a night in July
Why this hesitation
I an feel that the night is slipping away
Wanna drown in the ocean of your love
Wanna dance in the moonlight
Looking for a miracle
Well I've had dreams enough for one
And I've got love enough for three
I have my hopes to comfort me
I got my new horizons out to sea
But I'm never going to lose your precious gift
It will always be that way
Cos I know I'm going to find my own peace of mind
Someday...
Where is this place that we have found
Nobody knows where we are bound
I long to hear, I need to see
Cos I've shed tears too many for me
But I'm never going to lose your precious gift
It will always be that way
Cos I know I'm going to find my own peace of mind
Someday...
On the wind soaring free
Spread your wings
I'm beginning to see
Out of mind far from view
Beyond the reach of a nightmare come true
Well I've had dreams enough for one
And I got love enough for three
I have my hopes to comfort me
I got my new horizons out to sea
But I'm never going to lose your precious gift
It will always be that way
Cos I know I'm going to find my own peace of mind
Someday...
Someway...
If we could live forever
Where would our dreams lead us to
Living in a world of ever
Changing expectation
If it could be
If it could be
It would be forever now
If we could be here forever
Where in this world would heaven be
As we race across the universe
In search of confirmation
Why can't it be
Why can't it be
Why can't it be forever now
There's no way out
There is no return
There's no way back
There's no way to learn
The final act
The curtain falls
On the stage
On the stage
Standing at the crossroads
Waiting for the new millennium
For if it could be
If it could be
It would be forever now
If we could live forever
Where would our dreams lead us to
Living in a children's world
Of simple fascination
If it could be, If it could be
It would be forever now
If it could be, If it could be
It would be forever now
For if it could be
If it could be
It would be forever now
If it could be, If it could be
Walk on the water
Swim with the life tide
Clear away the storm clouds
Oohh ...
You got to
Roll with the punches
Shelter from the weather
Have no fear of the darkness
Sooner or later oohh ...
Sooner or later oohh ...
We'll be walkin' on air
Live for the moment
'cos life is worth living
Love will surround you
Sooner or later oohh ...
Sooner or later oohh ...
We'll be walkin' on air
We'll be walkin' on air
Love is out there waiting for you
Wearing no disguise
Nothing left behind closed doors
It's right before your eyes
So take a walk in the sunshine
Send a message on your online
Then you can do it in your own time
Sooner or later oohh ...
Sooner or later oohh ...
We'll be walkin' on air
Walkin' on air
We'll be walkin' on air
Walk on the water
Shelter from the weather
Clear away the storm clouds
Sooner or later oohh ...
Sooner or later oohh ...
Sooner or later oohh ...
Sooner or later oohh ...
We'll be walkin' on air
Walkin' on air
I'm just a wandering on the face of this earth
Meeting so many people
Who are trying to be free
And while I'm traveling I hear so many words
Language barriers broken
Now we've found the key
And if you want the wind of change
To blow about you
And you're the only other person to know, don't tell me
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band.
A thousand pictures can be drawn from one word
Only who is the artist
We got to agree
A thousand miles can lead so many ways
Just to know who is driving
What a help it would be
So if you want this world of yours
To turn about you
And you can see exactly what to do
Please tell me
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band.
How can we understand
Riots by the people for the people
Who are only destroying themselves
And when you see a frightened
Person who is frightened by the
People who are scorching this earth.
I'm just a wandering on the face of this earth

Music is the traveller crossing our world
Meeting so many people bridging the seas
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band.
We're just the singers in a rock and roll band.
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band...
My boat sails stormy seas
Battles oceans filled with tears
At last my port's in view
Now that I've discovered you
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
As life goes drifting by
Like a breeze she'll gently sigh
And slowly bow her head
Then you'll hear her softly cry.
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
Words that you say when we're alone
Though actions speak louder than words
But all I can say is I love you so
To drive away all my hurt
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
Set sail before the sun
Feel the warmth that's just begun
Share each and every dream
They belong to everyone.
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
I'm up to the eyes n' I love everyone
Today I could cry I could reach for the sun
I'm walking on air 'n' I'm here 'n' I'm there
I travel the sky but for what I don't care
Fly me straight and fly me high
Fly me straight and fly me high
I'm up 'n' I'm down 'n' I'm gone, I'm around
I'm driving along with no wheels on the ground
Hang on to me tight 'cause it doesn't last long
A few hours more and it'll be gone
Fly me straight and fly me high
Fly me straight and fly me high
I leave you behind on the streets in the gloom
I'm up here alone and there's plenty of room
You won't see me, I'll see you, I'm too fast
Whoops! Here I come, Now I'm gone. Now I'm past
Fly me straight and fly me high
Fly me straight and fly me high
I'm up to the eyes and I love ev'ryone
Today I could cry I could reach for the sun
I'm walking on air 'n' I'm here 'n' I'm there
I travel the sky but for what I don't care
Fly me straight and fly me high
I look around at other people
I brush their shoulders at the corner of the street
But all they notice is their feet
It wasn't meant this way
Their minds have gone astray
If they could lift their eyes they'd see
There's people smiling just like me and I'll agree
It's not their fault because it's raining
It's all work and no play, it's just another day
(Love) Love and beauty (Love)
(Love) Love and beauty (Love)
(Love) Love and beauty (Love)
Should be everybody's duty
To welcome every man as a friend
I wish that I could change the world
For every boy there'd be a girl for him to know
And maybe people would look up
Then they might realize they're not the only ones alive
(Love) Love and beauty (Love)
(Love) Love and beauty (Love)
(Love) Love and beauty (Love)
Should be everybody's duty
To welcome every man as a friend
(Love) Love and beauty (Love)
Neon, the city's sun
Taxis like beetles run, and I see
Pavements with yellow lines
Grey walls and big bold signs with darkness
Up above, all around
In the sky, on the ground
This is what, I have found
Cities, cities
Here the flowers don't grow
Here the river's just a sewer
People who move below
Buildings with smells and noise and darkness
Up above, all around
In the sky, on the ground This is what, I have found
Cities, cities
Not for me
No, no I don't believe you
It's not the place to be
No, no I won't believe you
Here the flowers don't grow
Here the river's just a sewer People who move below
Buildings with smells and noise and darkness
Up above, all around
In the sky, on the ground
This is what I have found
The day we meet again
I'll be waiting there
I'll be waiting there for you
Cos the years have been so lonely
Like a dog without a home
It's dangerous when you find out
You've been drinking on your own
The day we meet again
We will walk in peace
Thru the garden down the road
Where the mist of time is lifting
See it rising in the air
Like the shadow I was chasing
When I looked it wasn't there
Oh no
But just in case you're wondering
What was really on my mind
It wasn't what you took my love
It's what you left behind
And just in case you're wondering
Will it really be the same
You know we're only living for
The day me meet again
So hold on - and don't let go
Time heals - you know - I know
The day we meet again
I'll be waiting there
I'll be waiting there for you
Cos the years have been so lonely
Like a dog without a home
It's dangerous when you find out
You've been drinking on your own
The day we meet again
We will walk in peace
Thru the garden down the road
Where the mist of time is lifting
See it rising in the air
Like the shadow I was chasing
When I looked it wasn't there
Send me no wine
To make an invitation.
Leave me no time
In your imagination.
Only to find
Words in your mind
They're gonna make you, leave your,
Leave your heart behind.
Send me, send me no wine,
To send my love away.
Send me, send me no wine,
To send my love away.
(For) once in my life
I need no conversation.
All of my time
I'll spend in fascination.
Give me my love,
With you in my life.
If only everybody
Found the answer in love.
Send me, send me no wine,
To send my love away.
Send me, send me no wine,
I think, I think I am, therefore I am, I think.
Of course you are my bright little star,
I've miles
And miles
Of files
Pretty files of your forefather's fruit
and now to suit our
great computer,
You're magnetic ink.
I'm more than that, I know I am, at least, I think I must be.
There you go man, keep as cool as you can.
Face piles
And piles
Of trials
With smiles.
It riles them to believe
that you perceive
the web they weave
Makes me feel good,
Now I can see
It takes more than one to give
The life we need.
I can't think why
I never thought of this before
Now I know what it means to share
To share my love.
Now I know why
I've found the answer for myself
What a day it would be to share
To share your love
Can't think
Why I never thought
Of this before, now I know
What it means to me
To share, share all my love with you,
To share, share all my love with you.
Can't think
Why I never thought
Of this before, now I know
What it means to me
To share, share all my love with you,
As time goes by you will see
That we're going to be free
You and me, we'll touch the sky
Can you see in your mind's eye
That we are one
We're all the same
And life is just a simple game
There, by your side, I will be
When this crazy world is free
Free from doubt
When it finds out
Exactly what we're meant to be
That we are one
We're all the same
And life is just a simple game
Thoughts of another day
Flashing through my head
Thinking how life could be
All of the things that our great men have said
Be what we want to be
What we deserve to be
What we are meant to be
As time goes by, you will see
That we're going to be free
You and me, we'll touch the sky
Can you see in your mind's eye
That we are one
We're all the same
And life is just a simple game
We're gonna be free
Oohhh, gonna be free
Gonna be free
There's a leafless tree in Asia
Under the sun there's a homeless man
There's a forest fire in the valley
Where the story all began
What will be our last thought?
Do you think it's coming soon?
Will it be a comfort
Or the pain of a burning wound?
All we are trying to say
Is we are all we've got
You and me just cannot fail
If we never, never stop
You're an ocean full of faces
And you know that we believe
We're just a wave that drifts around you
Singing all our hopes and dreams
We look around in wonder
At the work that has been done
By the visions of our father
Touched by his loving son
All we are trying to say
Is we are all we've got
You and me just cannot fail
If we never, never stop
All we are trying to say
Is we are all we've got
You and me just cannot fail
If we never, never stop
You and me just cannot fail
