No one seems to know what kind of a trial we've been marching through
Blood, swet, tears, bitterness and sorrow are engraved on our souls
We would like to see you crawling through the same decade of disbelief
Then you would know what it feels like being isolated
Why should we have to keep our dreams concealed
Like everyone else around
We onlytrust in the voice of our heart
Renaissance, bound in blood forever
Like the plague inside our veins
We refuse to lie to ourselves
To deny what we are
We sacrifice everything around us
To reach what we want
Why should we have to keep our dreams concealed
Like everyone else around
We onlytrust in the voice of our heart
Renaissance, bound in blood forever
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
Boy, there's so many things to give
I've been aware of your charms for so long
And there's nothing that you can do
To stop me from coming around, round
To your house, to your house
To your house, to your house
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
I'll be your queen upon a throne in your house
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
You can build it from bricks and stone
But there's still no point in being alone
So unlock your door, I'm coming through
'Cos this heart's got a message for you
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
To your house, to your house, to your house, to your house
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
I'll be your queen upon a throne in your house
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
I'm coming home to your house
By land and sea, I'm coming home to your house
Come fly with me, I'm comin' home to your house
I'll be your queen upon a throne in your house
I'll make you scream aloud with joy in your house
I'll bring you gifts, cash money too to your house
I'll bring it all on home to you to your house
There'll be no black, there'll be no white in your house
There'll be no day, there'll be no night
Have mercy, mercy, mercy
Have mercy, mercy, mercy
Have mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy
Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy
Mercy on me, mercy on me
Mercy on me, mercy on me
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
I'll be your queen upon a throne in your house
I'll make you scream aloud with joy in your house
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
There'll be no war, there'll be no war in your house
I'll bring you peace, I'll bring you love to your house
This is my renaissance
This is my one response
This is the way I say I love you
This is my second chance
This is my one romance
This is the cutting line
On which I stand to show you
It happened fast in a flash just this evening
I hit the gas, horn blast, brakes screaming
Car crash, broken glass, broke my dreaming
I hit the dash so fast my ears are ringing
My sister's on the right side just slightly leaning
I grabbed her hand hard until she started breathing
My brothers in the back jaw cracked from the beating
The breath in my chest has slipped and I'm sinking
Blinking through diamond spider webs of cracked glass
I'm trying to remember all the words you said in the past
Through the ash, siren screams and red beams
I hear you sing softly to me
I can be the wall when you fall down
Find me on the rocks when you break down
I heard it in the song when you call out
But I got to say now it's got to change
This is my broken heart
This is my bleeding start
This is the way I've come to know you
This is my winding road
This is my way back home
This is the narrow door you know that I will walk through
I got a letter today of why she went away
She said 'it's better this way, you knew I never could stay'
Half empty closets and frames, all that's left to my name
As she left in the rain and left my heart on a chain
Three years I've built this two face tower for hours on a lease
You gave me one yellow flower that said rest in peace
IN pieces I've broken open to think too much or just enough
Alone to trust midst the rubble and the dust
Humbled, it took this much to break down and understand
Spent half my life on castles made of sand
Tossed in the breakers in the palm of your hand
Now I can finally stand
This is my renaissance
This is my one response
And I looked to the air
But the breeze was not cold
I sought for your hand
To hold unto me
I lay awakened
The dew on my brow
Come take my life
God, I'm dying
And the spirits of slumber
Lulled at my side
They tormented my world
And praised at my grave
I gave them a portion
In pursuance of my peace
But they took it and broke it
Where is my hope?
Elegent, undying
I am words, I am speaking
I never heard my comclusion
Lost in my confusion
In illusion
Lost inside the picture frame
I'm not to blame
I didn't see the black flame
I'm not ashamed
It's poetry the black flame
I'm rearranged
It's changing me the black flame
Burns my blackened brain
I am strong, I am leaving
I never knew I'd feel the need so
Where I'll go, I'll turn the flow
I could not know
Screams inside the burning pain
With spinning head
It's underhand the black flame
It lies inside
I turned and I ran the black flame
On me it fed
I understand the black flame
Burns my blackened brain
Run from me, don't you see
That we are one and I'm a part of you
Get away, anyway
I'm still a secret in the heart of you
And I'm burning in your soul
Now I'm weak, I am losing
I never thought I'd stop trying
I'm just a lie, just a sign, just a cry
Just a symbol of the game
Suspended pain
I cannot face the black flame
Intended dear
I cannot trace the black flame
Extended
Reaching into space the black flame
I always knew we were meant to be lovers
I always knew we were made for each other
I always knew there was no one else could make me feel this way
But when you go away
The angels cry
Each time we say goodbye
The angels cry
Each time we say goodbye
The summer sun always shines when you're with me
I feel its warmth in the love that you give me
I feel your touch and I know that's where I always want to stay
But when you go away
The angels cry
Each time we say goodbye
The angels cry
Each time we say goodbye
When we're apart
The rain, it falls
The wind, it calls
For you, my love
Right from the start
When our love was young
The rising sun
The only one was you, my love
I always knew we were meant to be lovers
I always knew we were made for each other
I always knew there was no one else could make me feel this way
But when you go away
The angels cry
Each time we say goodbye
The angels cry
Each time we say goodbye
The angels cry
Each time we say goodbye
The angels cry
Each time we say goodbye
The angels cry
Each time we say goodbye
The angels cry
Shadows darkness follows quiet shadows
You walk beside a shadow
Strangers, people passing constant strangers
You walk beside a stranger
Spare some love
Why won't you spare some love?
Share your love
Why don't you share your love?
Sadness finds the lonely silent sadness
Finds them hard with sadness
Seeking growing you will find with seeking
Knowing you are seeking
Spare some love
Why won't you spare some love?
Share your love
Why don't you share your love?
Spare some love
Why won't you spare some love?
Share your love
Why don't you share your love?
Seasons, nature's pattern of the seasons
Changing with the seasons
Loving peace will come to all with loving
Living lives with loving
Spare some love
Why won't you spare some love?
Share your love
From the start through all time, here upon the wind
Disorder reigned hand in hand with spring
Earth and the fire, air and the water
Molded the sea and landscape
Moving, flowing with no seeming purpose
Endlessly changing, survival
Spring into summer, time for reflection
Time to grow
World full of meaning, place re-arranging
Face ever changing for all our lives
These are our roots and it's our way
We grow, we reap and sow
We reap and sow the seasons of our day
Within the heart of all things born that day
The autumn scene brings the winters way
Colors are shading, misting and fading
Turning toward changes living
Each time the past and the future
Holding together tomorrow
Winter to springtime, a season for planning
Time to learn
World full of stillness, world ever waiting
Anticipating for all of our lives
These are our roots and it's our way
We grow, we reap and sow
We reap and sow the seasons of our day
We fall, while aiming so high
We crawl, flying
Man has North, South, East and West
Man has, trying
A song for all seasons through
Man has North, South, East and West
Man has music
Man has North, South, East and West
Man makes music
A song for all seasons through
Song for all seasons, song for all our time
Through her eyes
See the sky
Bathed in color
Running hard towards what used to be
Losing ground in changes sliding endlessly
Reaching out for mirrors hidden in the web
Painting lines upon your face inside instead
Sounds so bad the music's flat on every line
Songs of blackened lace know you're dying all the time
Sounds so bad you let the music take your soul
Slipping through the day, lose the only way you know
Running hard towards what used to be
Losing ground in changes sliding endlessly
Reaching out for things you want to see
Find reflections of insane reality
La la la
La la la
La la la
La la la
La la la
La la la
Running hard towards what used to be
Losing ground in changes sliding endlessly
Reaching out for shadows passing through
Break the ice, you can help me understand
Take the night into your own hands
Burn the flame, ignite the love we used to know
Learn to change, we've got to let the past go
Start to heal 'cause we don't have to fall
Hearts that feel can have it all
Take one step closer, let love start over
Shoot one more arrow through my heart
We'll come back stronger and hold on longer
Shoot one more arrow through my heart
Unashamed, it can't be wrong to try again
No one's to blame but just a quiet end
Smile for me 'cause heaven's not so far away
I'll believe that this is where you should stay
Start to heal 'cause we don't have to part
Hearts that feel can have it all
Take one step closer, let love start over
Shoot one more arrow through my heart
We'll come back stronger and hold on longer
Shoot one more arrow through my heart
Start to heal 'cause we don't have to part
Hearts that feel can have it all
Take one step closer, let love start over
Shoot one more arrow through my heart
We'll come back stronger and hold on longer
Shoot one more arrow through my heart
Take one step closer, let love start over
Shoot one more arrow through my heart
We'll come back stronger and hold on longer
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
Destination outward bound
I turn to see the northern lights behind the wing
Horizons seem to beckon me
Learned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
Horizons seem to beckon me
Learned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing
Know it's hard away from you
Traveling roads and passing through
It's not for money and it's not for fame
I just can't explain, sometimes it's lonely
Marking the space between the days
Early hours pass away
I sing to you of northern lights
I sing for you of northern nights
Past or future, here or there
Shelter comes in words from you, so talk to me
I hear your voice, it comforts me
In morning dreams I take your hand, you walk with me
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
Peace enfolds the still night air
Home again I look for you and find you there
Destination homeward now
Take the easy way, bring me down
Making the hard way now I see
Hard to be really free, I'm missing you near me
Marking the space between the days
Early hours pass away
I sing to you of northern lights
I sing for you of northern nights
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
The northern nights are in my eyes
They guide me back to you
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
The northern nights are in my eyes
They guide me back to you
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
The northern nights are in my eyes
They guide me back to you
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
The northern nights are in my eyes
The last that ever she saw him
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
He passed on worried and warning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Lost in a riddle that Saturday night
Far away on the other side
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
And she couldn't find how to push through
The trees that whisper in the evening
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Sing a song of sorrow and grieving
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
All she saw was the silhouette of a gun
Far away on the other side
He was shot six times by a man on the run
And she couldn't find how to push through
I say, I pray
See you in heaven far away
I say, I pray
See you in heaven one day
Four a.m. in the morning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
I watched your vision forming
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Stardust glowing in a silvery night
Far away on the other side
Will you come to talk to me this night?
And she couldn't find how to push through
I say, I pray
See you in heaven far away
I say, I pray
See you in heaven one day
Caught in the middle of a hundred
And five, ooh, ooh, ooh
The night was heavy and the air was alive
But she couldn't find how to push through
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Lost in a riddle that Saturday night
Far away on the other side
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
And she couldn't find how to push through
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Gold, said the man to the many
I want money and I'll make it grow
I will count my worth in gold
Wealth untold, I'll sell my soul
Midas Man
Midas Man
Sold, said the man to the many
Work for me, I'll only steal your time
I will count my money out
There's no doubt, I'll sell my soul
Midas Man
Midas Man
I'll take from the blind and I'll get up ahead
I'll sneak up behind and I'll steal
I'll take all that you have
And then all that you've concealed
I'll take anything I can get, I'll make you
I'll break you and I'll make you sweat
Nothing is worth nothing unless it's
Made for Midas Man
Gold, said the man to the many
Pots of gold are all I want from you
Quarter time for treble days the only way
To sell your soul
Midas Man
Midas Man
I'll take from the blind and I'll get up ahead
I'll sneak up behind and I'll steal
I'll take all that you have
And then all that you've concealed
I'll take anything I can get, I'll make you
I'll break you and I'll make you sweat
Nothing is worth nothing unless it's
Made for Midas Man
Midas
Midas
Midas
Taking time to find the right line
Talking easy with the thoughts you want to share
Leaning down, feel you growing in my mind
Stealing down, going down, feel you growing in my mind
Finding ways to find the real you
Spending days just holding hands and feeling free
Play around, watch the sunshine coming through
Come around, stay around, watch the loving grow with you.
Loving you the love you gve me
Living love with the things we have share
Poetry, hear the words you say to me
Stay with me, here with me, keep our loving flowing free.
Chorus:
It's got to be slow, talking love the only way
Past lovers whisper
Temptations from before
But I've learned illusion
I don't listen anymore
Some memories thicker still
On my silver screen
But I turn and walk away
From what might have been
I'm breaking ground
Into something that's real
Forgotten tenderness
You show me how to feel
Further from fantasy
I'm closer to you
More I remember
The more I'm pulling through
Further from fantasy
I'm closer to you
From pieces of my dream
You're by my side
Confusion washed away
By the rising tide
The rhythm of my heart
Is like the rhythm of the sea
Can't tell a breath apart
Is it you or me?
My passions turned
From dull gray to gold
Fly again now
I've got someone true to hold
Further from fantasy
I'm closer to you
More I remember
The more I'm pulling through
Further from fantasy
I'm closer to you
I'm breaking ground
Into something that's real
Forgotten tenderness you show me
You show me how to feel
Further from fantasy
I'm closer to you
More I remember
The more I'm pulling through
Further from fantasy
I'm closer to you
Further from fantasy
I'm closer to you
More I remember
The more I'm pulling through
Further from fantasy
I'm closer to you
Further from fantasy
I'm closer to you
More I remember
The more I'm pulling through
Further from fantasy
I'm closer to you
Further from fantasy
I'm closer to you
More I remember
The more I'm pulling through
Further from fantasy
I'm closer to you
Further from fantasy
Falling around me lay parts of my life
I'm leaving them all behind
We leave with the night
Living in strange ways has cast me aside
I cry in another world now
I must search for all my days gone by
Dreamer, lead me ever closer
Here is where I belong
Inside my own existence
I have been for so long
Voices that call to me, lay silent to hide
Soon I will hold them close
With words from my eyes
Living in hope of you, loving you now
You are my waking thoughts
I lay with you in my sleeping hours
Dreamer, lead me ever closer
Here is where I belong
Inside my own existence
I have been for so long
I stand and gaze upon your smile
A deep reflection held in my soul as a child
To grow within the warmth of love long forgotten
Tears flood your eyes in a moment
Dreamer, I become as one within you
To lose you far away
I stay inside your heaven now, no longer lonely
Once more I'm safe in your arms
To feel your touch across my mind
Fills me only full of desire for my being
Dreamer, really all that needs a meaning
To feel us sail away
Dreamer, lead me ever closer
Here is where I belong
Inside my own existence
Come along with me
Down into the world of seeing
Come and you'll be free
Take the time to find the feeling
See everything on it's own
And you'll find you know the way
And you'll know the things you're shown
Owe everything to do the day
Come along and try
Looking into ways of giving
Maybe we will fly
Find a dream that we will live in
We'll look into the eyes of time
Past ages have turned to dust
And born somewhere on the line
The loving that grows with us
Come into the day
Feel the sunshine warmth around you
Sounds from far away
Music of the love that found you
Th seed that you plant today
Tomorrow will be a tree
And living goese on this way
It's all part of you and me
Chorus:
See the carpet of the sun
The green grass soft and sweet
Sands upon the shores of time
Of ocean mountains deep
Part of the world that you live in
Dollars down the penny drain
Frozen in the clouds
Dream away the last of pain
In waterfalls of sounds
Float across the icy pools
Leaves with curl and sway
Now our mind is floating cool
And you can find the way
Dancing without moving now
Growing with your soul
One with all around you now
Related to the all
Purple mist around your hair
Eyes are fading blue
Smiling into everywhere
Love is coming through
Chorus:
Can you understand you can really understand
When the darkness comese you still shine
Open up your eyes and make the day shine sunshine now
Open up your dreams and make the way shin sunshine now
Can you understand you understand
Can you understand you understand
Open up your life and make your lifetime sunshine now
Open up your soul and make your lifeline sunshine now
Can you understand you understand?
Out at daybreak to the sun
Seas are drifting glass
The tides were turning to the storm
Winds were moving fast
Women waiting at the harbour
Silent stand around
Weather storms another day
For men the sea had found
Fishermen were laying nets
The barrels spread the bait
The seagulls warningg echoed round
Winds that wouldn't wait
People gathered at the harbour
Waiting for the tide
Eyes half closed against the spray
And tears they cannot hide
Hulls were creaking crashing sails
Rains were slating down
The oilskins flapping, decks awash
Slanting turning round
Thunder roaring at the harbour
Women drawn in fear
Huddle up to wait the time
And pray the sky will clear
Howling winds and the raging waves
Cracked upon the boats
And torn from safety, torn from life
Men with little hope
Ghostly echoes at the harbour
Whispering of death
Women weeping holding hands
Of those they still have left
Chorus:
Shadows falling at the harbour
Women stand around
Weather storms another way
So cold is being lonely
behold the feeling lonely
the living part is done
the dying has begun
the world is spinning slow
so tired slow
So cold is being sadness
behold the feeling sadness
oh how can we believe
we earn what we receive
the pain it overflows
overflows
But won't you help us realize
see it through your eyes
within our minds
the earth grows old
the earth grows cold
So cold is being tired
behold the feeling tired
stand quietly at the side
watch darkness open wide
the light is growing dim
so dim
Let It Grow
Renaissance
Taking time to find the right line
Talking easy with the thoughts you want to share
Leaning down, feel you knowing in my mind
Stealing down, going down, feel you growing in my mind
Chorus:
It's got to be slow
Taking love the only way
It's got to just flow
Making love and taking time to let it grow
Finding ways to find the real you
Spending days just holding hands and feeling free
Play around, watch the sunshine coming through
Come around, stay around, watch the loving grow with you
Chorus
Loving you the love you give me
Living loving with the things we have to share
Poetry, hear the words you say to me
Stay with me, here with me, keep our loving flowing free
From: sergio souza
Travel the days of freedom
Roads leading everywhere
Come with me now, and show how you care
Follow the dying embers
Cross on the paths they lay
Breath of the past, the earths yesterday
Colours are fading starlight
Silver the way to find
Walking the shadows, there in our mind
Changing the order slowly
Leaving the mist of time
Fingers are holding, fragments of mine
Chorus:
Clear your mind, maybe you will find
That the past is still turning
Circles sway, echo yesterday
Ashes burning, ashes burning
2nd Part:
Imagine the burning embers
They glow below and above
Your sins you won't remember
And all you'll find there is love
Ashes are burning brightly
The smoke can be seen from afar
So now you're seeing how far
I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow what it means
I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow what it means
And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
I wish on all the people who really dream
And I'm wishing on tomorrow praying never comes
And I'm wishing on all the loving we've never done
I never thought I'd see
A time when you would be
So far away from home
So far away from me
Just think of all the moments that we'd spent
I just can't let you go from me, you were meant
And I didn't mean to hurt you but I know
That in the game of love you reap what you sow
I feel it's time we should make up, baby
I feel it's time for us to get back together
And make the best of things, oh, baby
When we're together whether or never
I feel it's time we should make up, baby
I feel it's time for us to get back together
And make the best of things, oh, baby
When we're together, whether or never
I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow what it means
And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
And I wish on all the people we've ever been
And I'm hoping on all the days to come and days to go
And I'm hoping on days of loving you so
I'm wishing on a star
I'm wishing on all the rainbows that I see
I'm wishing on a star
It's tragic--keeps on happening all the time
It's the kind of thing that I fear
I feel I'm making no headway
Walls I know are starting to disappear
It's like they'd never existed, strange but true
As sure as I'm talking to you
Now you see it, now I don't want to frighten you
But I'm simply here standing alone
Trapped in these shadows that belong to missing persons
Names faded from memory join the list and then mark time
Once I would have been glad to have made your acquaintance
Now I feel a danger brought about by circumstance
Obsessed, the quality of life escapes me now
It's one of the things I lack
From the east and to the west
I feel it's time that I was heading back
I can't control these feelings that I have
I've never been one to hide
Become a pillar of society
But don't let your morals slide
Or you can find that you've become a missing person
A here today gone tomorrow breeze and lost in the night
Once I would have been glad to have made your acquaintance
Now I feel a danger brought about by circumstance
But I know in the end, I'll be safe, we'll be happy
After finding myself we'll be fine
Any problems we have will be gone in a moment
I'll become just a state of the mind
I want you close
I need you near
You have to be here
I turned around
You've gone again
Trapped in these shadows that belong to missing persons
Names faded from memory join the list and then mark time
Once I would have been glad to have made your acquaintance
Now I feel a danger brought about by circumstance
Or you can find that you've become a missing person
A here today gone tomorrow breeze and lost in the night
Once I would have been glad to have made your acquaintance
Pays the price, works the seasons through
Frozen days, he thinks of you
Cold as ice but he burns for you
Mother Russia, can't you hear him too?
Mother's son, freedom's overdue
Lonely man, he thinks of you
He isn't done, only lives for you
Mother Russia, can't you hear him too?
Punished for his written thoughts
Starving for his fame
Working blindly, building blocks
Number for a name, his blood flows frozen to the snow
Red blood, white snow
He knows frozen rivers won't flow
So cold, so true
Mother Russia--he cries for you
Ooh ooh ...
Bah dah dah dah ...
Punished for his written thoughts
Starving for his fame
Working blindly, building blocks
Number for a name his blood flows frozen to the snow
Red blood, white snow
He knows frozen rivers won't flow
So cold, so true
Watching winter pools take me to the sea
Carried by the wind sighing feeling free
On the beach alone seabirds circle there above me
Lonely winter day makes me want to stay
There where I belong
Where I am real, where I can feel sounds of the sea
Rivers flowing down streaming in the sand
Shells are tangled in seaweed-drifting strands
Pools of silence stem peace is sounding all around me
Lonely winter day makes me want to stay
There where I belong
Where I am real, where I can feel sounds of the sea
Sun sets slowly and night returns once more
Standing by the surf coasting on the shore
Shadows in the night echoes of the sea inside me
Lonely winter day makes me want to stay
There where I belong
Day by day I'm feeling the need
To search to find
Hear the voices speaking to me
They're in my mind
It's Majik, it's tragic
What is happening to me?
Another no name tragedy
Majik (can't you understand)
Majik (the children are close at hand)
Once so long ago I'd explain
Each feeling clear
Now the thoughts they dance and they weave
To disappear
It's Majik, it's tragic
What is happening to me?
Another lost game lost to me
Majik (have the rights to resist)
Majik (before it takes to the wrist)
Surround yourself in a cloak of stars
This must be heaven
You've held to answer the early hours
They have been given to you
What is happening to me?
Another lost game lost to me
What is happening to me?
Lost in twilight memories
Majik (now your life's in a test)
Majik (feel your voice in a fist)
What is happening to me?
Another lost game lost to me
What is happening to me?
Another no name tragedy
What is happening to me?
Hear the voice I speak to me
What is happening to me?
Lost in twilight memories
What is happening to me?
The Majik surrounds all I see
What is happening to me?
Another no name tragedy
What is happening to me?
Going home, going home
I'm just going home
Quiet light, some still day
I'm just going home
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
Work all done, care laid by
Going to fear no more
Mother's there expecting me
Father's waiting, too
Lots of folk gathered there
All the friends I knew
All the friends I knew
I'm going home
Nothing's lost, all's gain
No more fret nor pain
No more stumbling on the way
No more longing for the day
Going to roam no more
Morning star lights the way
Restless dream all done
Shadows gone, break of day
Real life begun
There's no break, there's no end
Just a living on
Wide awake with a smile
Going on and on
Going home, going home
I'm just going home
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
I am going home
I'm just going home
Going home, going home
We will be a melody so free
a fragrance on the cooling breeze
you to me such gentle poetry
and who would not love days like these
Hold for us the crystal and the stream
the velvet night our claim for this
we will see with every waking dream
love smiles and brings the sweetest kiss
And it's true reflections casting shadow to the light
so still, it seems that we are etched in smoke tonight
we will remember this
the sweetest kiss
Should our dreams drift by as time unfolds
between the sea and sky above
we will stay together we will hold
the peace and purity of love
I see life and light it shines from you
a fragrance on the cooling breeze
we will see infinity come through
and who would not love days like these
And it's true, the music's flowing echoes in the light
quietly now we are sketched in the mist tonight
we will remember this, we will remember this
the sweetest kiss
We will be a melody so free
a fragrance on the cooling breeze
you to me such gentle poetry
While in the streets of all our fears
They reign supreme as orders go
They are the last to have their say
And last to know it doesn't matter how you try
It doesn't matter what you say
They always watch with hollow eyes
To put you down they always find a way to criticise
The vultures fly high
They circle over us all
The vultures fly high
I'll take your hand if you fall
All those who sheltered in their smile
Are scattered here from yesterday
And if the weak are left behind
They have to pay and though you haven't much to give
You know they take it, yours and mine
Sometimes it looks as though we lose
But then in time the finger points at them
The next in line
The vultures fly high
They circle over us all
The vultures fly high
I'll take your hand if you fall
The vultures fly high
They circle over us all
The lonely sigh
I'll take your hand if you fall
The vultures fly high
They circle over us all
The lonely sigh
Sounds around me, thoughts before me call to you
Sky above me, water near me reflect you
Dreams of our oneness altered by time
Seasons will change for us all
For us all
Chorus I:
Springtime, summer, winter, fall
Springtime, summer, winter, fall with you
Magic grace bestows the place I long to be
Deep inside my heart is high, so come to me
Thinking and rethinking in moments of despair
Worries not needed will fade - with you
Always
Chorus I
Chorus II:
Springtime, summer, winter, fall ... seasons will change for us all
Springtime, summer, winter, fall ... seasons will change for us all
With you
You lie in peaceful slumbers
But yet so proud
So safe the second city
Houses reach the skyline and
Far below the narrow streets that sing
With the movement of the crowd
No break from daily changes
As life goes on
Secure as French men can be
Fill your time with love and wine
And in your heart you'll know as long as you
There will always be a song
Then on a winter's day
With your face against the cold and rain
In the wind there's changes
The rivers rise
The water grips the town - tears fill her eyes
I'm standing here which way to go
The crossroads call, but they don't know
Midnight, caught inside
I'm standing here, could all be lost
The crossroads call
You've stood so long
It weaves the strangest picture
Of silky thread
The shadows cast reflection
Lyons as the water's bed
Trees that stand look straight ahead
And search for a sight of distant land
This was a winter's day
In your heart you felt the cold and rain
Change the wind to silence
There's not a sound
Silver patterns run and dance
Upon the ground
I'm standing here which way to go
The crossroads call, but they don't know
Midnight, caught inside
I'm standing here, could all be lost
The crossroads call
What did become of the girl I once knew
What of the glamour and pain
Those were the days, yes the star of the show
There up in lights shone my name
Shone my name
I fell in love with the man of my dreams
He was so handsome and kind
One day I found her alone in his arms
A pretty young girl from the line, chorus line
Chorus line
Chorus:
I lost faith in myself
Couldn't face publicity
What this man had done to me
And I was right, and he was wrong
Foolish pride got in my way
If I'd looked the other way
I would still be the star of the show
I vowed I'd never go back on my word
No-one would treat me this way
Only close friends knew how he broke my heart
A secret I kept to this day
To this day
Repeat chorus
Time passes slowly and people forget
No-one remembers my name
Once I was lonely, living in dreams (Shine shine shine shine)
Found my heart open now shine on me
Into my open heart like the sun shines
Into my open soul like the sun shines
A shaft of light through a now open door ....
You so beguiling, smiling at me (Shine shine shine shine)
Smiling and tender soft the breeze
Into my open heart like the sun shines
Into my open soul like the sun shines
A shaft of light through a now open door (Shine shine shine shine)
I hear you whisper, gentle and free (Shine shine shine shine)
All the birds on earth take flight
Gather every child in sight
Take the day, embrace it well
Summon the angels
Silent as the coolest night
Floating on the oceans' tide
This could eternal life
Summon the angels
Summon the angels
Summon the angels
I have a secret
I'd like to share with you tonight
Come here
Out of the darkness
I walk into a pool of light
I feel no fear
A hand reached out and touched me
And everything above me
Was all so clear
I saw a thousand doves
Do you believe in love
Chorus:
A stream of white vibrating light
Summon the angels
Free to roam the earth
Through the sun, the sand, the surf
Summon the angels
If you believe me
I'll share with you the golden songs
I hear
A new beginning
A time of love for everyone
The way is clear
So close your eyes
Come with me
Through colours that surround me
A silent breeze
Will bring a thousand doves
Do you believe in love
Repeat chorus
All the birds on earth take flight
Gather every child in sight
Take the day, embrace it well
Summon the angels
Silent as the coolest night
Floating on the oceans' tide
This could eternal life
Summon the angels
I saw a thousand doves
Do you believe in love
Repeat chorus
All the birds on earth take flight
Gather every child in sight
Take the day, embrace it well
Summon the angels
Silent as the coolest night
Floating on the oceans' tide
This could eternal life
Wanderer, oh wanderer
Chasing up every star
Run for one and then catch none
Then you will know what you are
Then you will know what you are
Wanderer, oh wanderer
Be not afraid of unknowns
Live them through and then will you
Know the truth deep in your bones?
Know the truth deep in your bones?
Wanderer, oh wanderer
You are unique as the rest
See your goal and cleanse your soul
I can hear Brazilian love songs, more every day
They seem stronger on the wind--you don't seem so far away
Someday I'm going to be there, someday I'll be
Standing on your highest mountain looking out across the sea
No longer here so cold and tired
I'm getting out today from Ukraine ways
From my childhood I've seen pictures, don't say a word
Decadent scenes of smiling people half the way across the world
When you live each day in colours of stone and gray
Feelings start to rise within you--steal the chance and get away
Much stronger now, I feel so inspired
I'm getting out today from Ukraine ways
I can feel your rhythm deep within me
I can see your people dance
Here I stand in the ice and snow
Warm where the cold winds blow
Colours that flash through my mind when I'm dreaming
Soon will be seen with these eyes of my own
Tropical days are the things that I live for
No more Ukraine ways
Instrumental
I can feel your rhythm deep within me
I can see your people dance
Here I stand in the ice and snow
Warm where the cold winds blow
Colours that flash through my mind when I'm dreaming
Soon will be seen with these eyes of my own
Tropical days are the things that I live for
You caught my eye
In a room in New York
I wasn't sure
That your smile
Was for me, I was shy
Then you looked in my eyes
And I knew
Love was beginning
I love you
Down by the lake
Far away from New York
I saw you there
And my heart
Fell apart, I was hurt
I thought you were alone
I was wrong
You're with another
You're in love
Six days and seven nights
Since I last saw you
I should have called you
Longing and lonely nights
Is there a simple way
To make you love me
I'll be your lover now
Somewhere in those seven nights
My heart pined
And yours took flight
With another
I don't know why
Chorus:
Six days and seven nights
Since I last saw you
I should have called you
Longing and lonely nights
Now there is no way
To make you love me
Lost in anothers love
Dear Landseer
We have been asked by the queen
She has heard you are the best
To capture her beloved animals for all to see
Dear Landseer
So highly thought of we agree
We know that your work is done
With love and care the Lions of Trafalgar Square
Highland Scene
Full of moody skies
A mountain stream
Heather in the breeze
You paint the land with a grace and speed
You paint a dog, a stag, a hawk, a deer
Dear Landseer
If you will honor our request
You'll be far away from weekend parties
Sketching people having fun and dancing
Dear Landseer
A view of haunting delight
Show upon a hill a place where time stand still
Her special ones will run among leaves
Highland Scene
Full of moody skies
A mountain stream
Heather in the breeze
You paint the land with grace and speed
You paint a dog, a stag, and hawk, a deer
This beautiful painting
Is now on her wall
Standing tall
Immortalized
now in oil
Dear Landseer
The veil of sadness that descended
Has been removed with this view
Dear Landseer
We thank you so much
There's no doubt you're the best loved artist in the land
There's no doubt you're the best loved in the land
Fading mist you swirl and dance before my eyes
To realise
The feelings that have lain within my heart
Life in dreams is so much kinder
Just a moment's memory
To fade away, in distance lies your home
Broken city, take you with me
Soon to be harmonised
There before your eyes
Only to exist
Time has held tomorrow yearning while apart
Now the longing has begun for you
Suns will never set
And shall not forget
Promises we made
Somewhere there's a harbour
Though we pass her by
Where our ship can be and safely lie
In the warmth of her arms
Inside a perfect day
And with each passing moment
Quiet lapping waves
On this gentle day
Sweet divine you came
So faintly I heard you
My hopes and dreams you carry
Inside the hearts of all the trees
Like a ship at sea
Coming for me
When the thunder came
We sheltered and prayed
In my life again
The greatest emotion
A lightness in my body
I spread my wings to fly with you
Most amazing view
Touching heaven
Through the air I see a garden
Down it's path we all must go
The pearls of wisdom
Run down my face
Caught in love
Oh as the love flows
Oh caught in this glow
Oh as the love flows
Oh so we all grow
Oh as the love flows
We were enchanged love would last for always
Taken for granted, them came the changes, unforseen
I'm so in love with you who seem so blasé
The problem now is, do you still want to stay with me?
You so blasé, unconcerned, you're indifferent
You turn, inattentive in company
Should I ask you, don't leave me?
We were enchanted wrapped up in our one dream
Taken for granted, in crept the silence unforseen
You seem OK though I burn stony silence
You turn, disinclined impassively
Can I keep you near to me?
Surely he can't really be so blasé
Surely we will laugh another day
Surely we can hold it all together
Surely we will find another way
You seem OK though I burn stony silence
You turn, disinclined impassively
Can I keep you near to me?
Surely he can't really be so blasé
Surely we will find another way
Surely we can hold it all together
Surely we will find another way
Surely he can't use my love forever
Surely he can love me like before
Surely we can hold it all together
Was it just illusion that we saw
Surely he can't really be so blasé
Surely we will find another way
Surely we can hold it all together
Changing moods and stranger feelings
In my dealings with the world
Faces that I've seen before am I sure
Or has my brain turned
Thinking about things I don't understand
Thinking about things I don't understand
Dreams and omens of my future
Like a sculpture finely molded
Stars that guide my destiny
Tell me what I will be
A chart unfolded
Thinking about things I don't understand
Thinking about things I don't understand
Da da ... la la ... oh oh oh ...
Seems there's plans for everyone
The day will come and we will know
We all are tied in with each other
Everyone brothers
One great flow
Thinking about things I don't understand
Thinking about things I don't understand
La la la ...
And in the morning of my time
I'll try to understand
I learn by what I find
And love you if I can
We don't need to know the answers
To hope and pray for peace
And each by what he can
To make us all complete
I love to watch you move swaying like a child
I have always wanted to know you
Then you gave to me, the greatest gift of all your stories
Sunrise in the sky, rivers come alive
The trees will carry messages for me
Born in different lands across the highest seas
I would tremble thinking about you
Then the winter came, your tales of love remain
ice, snow, the wind and rain
As a boy he'd always heard
The meaning of life hidden in a single word
Serenading through his years
A talented man surrounded my mystery
Gather all the missing days
All the ones that slipped away
He will bring them back and not speak
Lay them at my golden feet
He gave me one thousand roses
Even before he had known my name
Knowing from when they were flying
No more the sadness that was my flame
In a time when we all dream
A weaver of words who everyone wants to meet
Will he always wish to be
A teller of tales a sower of magic seeds
We were actors in a play
Celebrate the ancient way
Listen to the songs of old
In the saddest key of all
He gave me one thousand roses
Even before he had known my name
Knowing from then we were flying
No more the sadness that was my flame
Then he gave to me, the greatest gift of all
There it was.
The final destiny.
A sunrise that never came,
Still the night lamp that never faded away.
Farewell was the word,
And the afterglow was the brave morning.
Rising and telling everyone
Sheherazade this day is yours
The bearers of your gifts now all around you stand
The finest silk made in the land
Is waiting for your choice
It shimmers at your hand
Sheherazade your life is one
You have today the sultan's love
The people watch you step into the sun
Stalls and bars of every kind
Food piled high on woven leaves for all to eat
Drums and flutes at every turn
The music winding, twisting through the crowded streets
Caravans from far away bring people laughing
People come to see the sultan in Baghdad today
Scheherazade her name is known
Her tale is told
The sultan let her life be spared
The festival begins this day
To celebrate her fame
The people sing her praise
Stories sung, the crowds are dancing
To the music and the entertainment all the voices sing
The people call to see the king
The sultan smiles
His story just begun
The sultan and Sheherazade are one
Scheherazade, Scheherazade
She told him tales of sultans and talismans and rings
A thousand and one nights she sang to entertain her king
I know it's hard to get it out
Pick up the phone and put it down
You drink some wine and think about it
It's even hard to call a friend
You write a note that you won't send
With every thought you seem to doubt it
Feel all your hope is blown to dust and sorrow
You have no way to follow
Chorus:
Throw it all away
Take another day
Everything is okay
Now it's out of sight
Hold on in the night
Everything is alright
Somewhere west of here
I wish you trusted me sometimes
Thoughts are going round and round
There is a way and you will find it
If I can help just call my name
I'll try to be there ease your pain
If there's a mountain we can climb it
Feel all your words are sounding hollow
You cannot find tomorrow
Chorus
You'll find peace somewhere west of here
When your hopes are grey like dust
You feel so helpless
When your dreams drift by like cloud
You see to feel less
Realising a form out of stone
Set hands moving
Roan shaped his heart
Thru his working hands
Work to mould his passion into clay
Like the sun
In his room, his lady
She would dance and sing so completely
So be still, he now cries
I have time, oh let clay transform thee so, love
In the deep cold of night
Winter calls, he cries, don't deny me
For his lady, deep her illness
Time has caught her
And will for all reasons take her
In the still light of dawn, she dies
Helpless hands soul revealing
Like leaves we touch, we learn
We once knew the story
As winter calls he will starve
All but to see the stone be life
Now Roan no more tears
Set to work his strength
So transformed him
Realising a form out of stone, his work
So absorbed him
Could she hear him
Could she see him
All aglow was his room bathed in this light
He would touch her
He would hold her
Laughing as they danced
Highest colours touching others
Did her eyes at the turn of the century
Tell me plainly
How we meet, how we'll love
Or let life, so transform me
Like leaves we touched, we danced
We once knew the story
As autumn called and we both
Remembered all those many years ago
I'm sure we know
Was the sign with a touch
As I kiss your fingers
We walk hands in the sun
Memories when we're young
Love lingers so
Was it sun thru the haze
That made all your looks
Warm as moonlight
As a pearl, deep your eyes
Tears have flown away
All the same light
Did her eyes at the turn of the century
Tell me plainly
When we meet how we'll look
As we smile time will leave me clearly
Like leaves we touch, we search
We will know the story
As autumn calls we will both remember
I took a trip down to look at the fair
When I arrived I found nobody there
It seemed I was all alone
Must be that they've all gone home
A trip to the fair, but nobody was there
A trip to the fair, but nobody was there
Voices of yesterday make not a sound
Even the roundabout stopped going round
I wonder just what it means
Is everything how it seems?
A trip to the fair, but nobody was there
A trip to the fair, but nobody was there
A creak as the dodgems came onto the scene
Wheels began turning I started to scream
A carousel swung around
My head spun and hit the ground
A trip to the fair, but nobody was there
A trip to the fair, but nobody was there
I close my eyes to disguise the fear from inside
Trembling within my own mind I find no place to hide
Stars of tomorrow shine through the grey mist that has gone
I wish that this trip to the fair had never begun
Suddenly thousands of faces I see
Everyone seemed to be staring at me
Clowns laughed in the penny arcade
What was this game my mind played?
I took a trip down to look at the fair
When I arrived I found nobody there
It seemed I was all alone
Must be that they've all gone home
A trip to the fair but nobody was there, but nobody was there
Came the day you strayed into my life
And everything was turned around
Since the day you came into my life
My world is full of sweeter sounds
And the day's you've loved me in my life
Have changed my every point of view
Since the day you came into my life
My time I love to share with you
And I know that all my friends said you're deceiving me
I know that you were capable of leaving me
And you could stray away
Some lonely day
These the days, the best of all my life
Will live inside my heart and mind
Should you stray, the rest of all my life
I'll keep the love you left behind
These the days, the love of all my life
I live with all the love you give
Should you stay, the rest of all my life
I'll love you for each day we live
And I know that all my friends said you're decieving me
And I know that you were capable of leaving me
And you may stray away
And you could stray away some lonely day
These the days the rest of all my life
I know I'll spend them loving you
If you stray, the best of all my life
Imagine a new world
Unseen and without form
And this our day, a new dawn
Some people are lonely
Some people are so sad
Reach out and give what you have
Chorus:
Friends are always there
In good and bad times
Always taking care, you're in my mind
And I'll try hard to take my share
Call and you know I will be there
From the start right to the end
Time for old friends
If ever we're parted
I'll think of you with me
My smile, the one you give me
Imagine this new world
Friends full of sharing
A new world filled with caring

II. The Betrayal
(Instrumental)
III. The Sultan
Sultan king cruel majesty
Ordered that his women die
A single night this for all his wives
Takes his pleasure then their lives
And so for many days with the dawn
The sultan had his way
Wives were put to death
His name on their dying breath
Then one day as the evening came
Sultan sends for him a wife
Choose her well, charms I wish to see
Bring her, send her in to me
Then came Scheherazade to his side
And her beauty shone
Like a flower grown
Gentle as he'd ever known
Scheherazade bewitched him
With songs of jewelled kings
Princes and of heroes
And eastern fantasies
Told him tales of sultans
And talismans and rings
A thousand and one nights she sang
To entertain her king
She sings, Scheherazade,
Scheherazade,
Scheherazade,
Scheherazade,
Scheherazade,
Scheherazade...
IV. Love Theme
(Instrumental)
V. The Young Prince and Princess as told by Scheherazade
And you would cause the sun to see your light
And then be shamed
You cover darkness with a thousand secret flames
With your love, oh my love, oh my love, my love
And I would cause the winds to blow a hundred different days
And bring the perfumes of the gardens of the ways
Of your love, oh my love, oh my love, my love
Crystal and the clay, nights and the days
All on the prince's seal
Eagle of the sky, lion of the earth
This is what the seal is worth, what the seal is worth
Holds all of the dreams of a man
Tapestries, wishes of man,
Pictures and visions of man
The spirit of the soul of the man
And he would vow to love her for the rest of all his days
VI. Festival Preparations
(Instrumental)
VII. Fugue for the Sultan

VIII. The Festival

The bearers of your gifts now all around you stand
The finest silk made in the land

Sheherazade your life is one
You have today the sultan's love

IX. Finale
That look in your eye
The touch of your hand
Oooh you know I like it
Hot summer nights
Oooh the warmth of your kiss
And you know I like it
Ooo-oooh you do something to me
Take me hold me la-la-la-love me
Touch me ooo-oooh every little thing I want you
Love me tonight
Hold me tight
Oooh you know I like it
The things that you do
I've got to have you
And you know I like it
Ooo-oooh you do something to me
Take me hold me la-la-la-love me
Touch me ooo-ooh every little thing I want you
Ooo-ooh you do something to me
Ooo-ooh you do something to me
Ooo-ooh you do something to me
Take me hold me la-la-la-love me
Touch me ooo-ooh every little thing I want you
Touch me ooo-ooh every little thing I want you
Let's say the words
I want to hear
And you know I like it
Hot summer nights
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooh you know I like it
The warmth of your kiss
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooh you know I like it
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooh oh you know I like it
Did you see him there by the willows bending?
The moon's white shots fell like rain from on high
The love from his eyes floated, rivers unending
Into the sands where the spring of our hearts had run dry
Did you see him there and hear his soft calling?
The love sweet song rising from bottomless pain
The lord of our woes, on his wide shoulders falling
He bears in his mercy to break hatred's reign
Did you see him there in the ages of song?
His truth too simple for man to endure
I long to die for him there and I could not
And the dawns treat the sky with rose and azure
Did you see him there?
Did you see him there?
Did you see him there?
Leaving all their thoughts behind
Passing over timeless wastes of ecstasy
Freedom strangled at the source
Takes the only charted course
That leads them home
Their bodies move towards the dawn
The light in which a nation born
Can only hope, and only weep
Their passion may be growing weak
How was alone, recall me if you can
I feel I am lost within you
Many times within the sound of emptiness
A light has shown deep in each others soul
Keeps them apart, a love now makes them whole
Fractured memories tearing at all their dreams
Made life and living a faded scene
To give a name locked in despair
Makes chances of a lifetime course across your eyes
To give and get, and yet return
Emotion smoulders, starts to burn in harmony
They lay within a ruined shell
Searching for the time to tell
That he who followed endlessly
Does not exist, can never be
How was alone, recall me if you can
I feel I have lost within you
A part of what is held inside a deep regret
Taking over all that a hearts request
Answered by cries from a wilderness
Found forgotten lying in deeper sleep
Touching once is so hard to keep
In emptiness, a light has shown deep in each others soul
Keeps them apart, a love now makes them whole
Fractured memories tearing at all their dreams
Made life and living a faded scene
Taking over all that a hearts request
Answered by cries from a wilderness
Found forgotten lying in deeper sleep
In my wildest dreams
You always play the hero
In my darkest hour of night
You rescue me you save my life
In my wildest dreams
You're my Valentino
Like those silent picture days
You steal my heart and carry me away
Baby hold on ... Leave the world behind
Just close your eyes ... You'll find love this time
Follow your heart ... When you cross that line
Meet me here tonight in my wildest dreams
I always dream in colour
Somewhere between the black and white
You'll find our love can shine so bright
In my wildest dreams
We're stranded on an island
In our tropic paradise
You make love and wave the boats goodbye
Baby hold on ... Leave the world behind
Just close your eyes ... You'll find love this time
Follow your heart ... When you cross that line
Meet me here tonight in my wildest dreams
Drift away
Let's fly away ... Run with me
Leave the world behind
Just close your eyes ... You'll find love this time
Follow your heart ... When you cross that line
Meet me here tonight in my wildest dreams
We'll spread our wings like angels
Above the clouds we fly
We dance upon the stars and touch the sky
In my wildest dreams this night will last forever
Praying for a miracle
daylight had begun
he saw a woman dancing
dancing in the sun
Her silhouetted body
a jewel in the sky
became his only reason
his reason to survive
Chorus:
The colours of the casbah
the laughter in the streets
is this where her flame lives
and what he seeks
even though he feels it
he knows he's never seen
the flame that's eternal
and never dies - never dies
He'd never known this feeling
a perfect work of art
passion and the loving
of a newly opened heart
She became the miracle
as the night drew near
whispering a love song
that only angels hear
He stood with bow in hand as the curtain rose
Thunderous applause
It was a day that she would remember
Eyes staring straight ahead as the music flowed
From his fine thin hands
Lady from Tuscany captivated
Satisfied all his needs
Fed him with desire, held him like a child
Closer than anyone
Legend surrounds him
Fire, obsession
He had a taste for life like no other man
Overwhelming man Leader in time with public approval
Then as his gift took over his torture grew
Lady slipped away
Waits in his shadow watching changes
He doesn't notice her
Flirting with another, wishing for him
She travels far away
Legend surrounds him
Lady, his passion
Beauty followed her to a friendly field
She floats there with no cares
Mistress of the night in her precious room
She longs for her loved one
Satisfied all his needs
Fed him with desire held him like a child
Closer than anyone
Legend surrounds her
Water no fire
Lady like no other
Mad man adored her
Legend surrounds her
Water no fire
Lady like no other
If I could be here with you today
I would change all my ways
Show you how I really care
Night and day I'd be there
All the moments I wasted then
Calling you on the phone
All the things I should have said
Like how much I need you
In my dreams I think of you
Of all the things I didn't do
Can I show you now
In the morning and the night
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
To have you in my life
I'd be there when you need a friend
When you're sad I'd be strong
Holding you to keep you warm
Be there when you need me
I would turn back the clock today
I'd be faithful and true
We could be in love again
What I wouldn't do for you
In my dreams I think of you
Of all the things we didn't do
Can I show you now
In the morning and at night
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
To have you in my life
In my dreams I think of you
Of all the things we didn't do
Can I show you now
In the morning and at night
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
There is an island
Where it should never be
Surrounded by suburban sea
And through the tired and hopeless waves
To where it's free
I want to be there
For the rest of my time
There on the island
The sun is always bright
The moon sends the darkness away in the night
I know that it's waiting
I know there's a place ready for me
I want to be there
For the rest of my time
Warm sounds of windsongs
Come down through the trees
But far away tears are borne on the breeze
I'll follow the raindrops
Cause sunshine and smiles are waiting for me
I want to be there
I have her letters
Perfume lingers on every page
Tied with ribbons
Kept with lavender and her lace
The letters are faded
Kept by her side for all her days
And the ribbons
Once held her hair on a younger day
He wrote of the warm spring days
And how tall the grass grew
He wrote of the poppy fields
He said, "tell the children I love them--remember"
There was a poppy
Kept in a frame
By his photograph
The years were so long
They were strong and we must be too
He wrote of the open air
And how brave his friends were
He wrote of the poppy fields
He said, "tell the children of Flanders--remember"
Hour by hour I feel the tension mounting
Pretty soon now I'll be on my way
People meeting, greeting, leaving, meaning
Everything they say
Start to move, feel closer now
I walk along the corridors of power
Orient Express, life to excess
There's so much to see, and it's waiting for me
Out threre, I care, I dare
Through a country that you've only heard of
Through the valleys, feel the pressure drop
Onwards moving 'til you see the mountains
Feel your heart may stop
Day and night feel closer now
I walk along these corridors of power
Orient Express, built to impress
There's so much to see, and you set me free
Laying down beside a pool
staring down inside
I was taken to a place
somewhere new to hide
at first the scene was strange and blue
then
ghostly voices that I knew
a bed, a voice, a woman cried
a child a boy, a light inside
this my dream for all those years
turned into my deepest fears
despite the love I longed for
I fell into a pool of tears
Chorus:
Water swirling round my head
falling through my eyes
I see the woman on the bed
calling deep inside
calling out what might have been
all those moments never seen
all the grief flowed down the years
to a pool of tears
All those people didn't see
nothing else to do
empty space around me
no one ever knew
the ground beneath my feet fell through
then
music echoed thoughts of you
the chance you took to steal my pride
the pain, the joy the love that died
this my dream for all those years
turned into my deepest fears
despited the love I longed for
I fell into a pool of tears
Love - may you be blessed
Live in the warmth of your caress
And, as you go on
May you be, never less than you can be
Love - may you hold strong
Stay, all the way where you belong
Then, as time goes by
May you be, the sweet song, you sing today
Love - may you be blessed
Every day
We all are standing unafraid on the frontier
We all are shadows in the shade on the frontier
When the dawn is come we will stand strong
Where we belong
The day belongs to each of us our time is getting near
The way is wrong for each of us our time is getting near
The seeds of yesterday are breaking through
To you
We're on the frontier now
We're on the frontier now
We're on the frontier now
We're on the frontier now
We're on the frontier now
So come on leave the dark behind and join the day now
It's peaceful revolution time to join the day now
Morning breaks the light will shine and find the blind
We all are standing unafraid on the frontier
Love goes on, love goes on, love goes on
As the days pass out of sight
Fading memories in the night
You have moved it once again
It's always there behind the main
When you get to the top in the small town
Then you find you got friends you never knew about
It's five AM but I keep on walkin'
I can't go home for success has locked me out
You see my luck went to his head
He could have kept quiet but instead
Now everyone knows
I'm running away from you
I'm running away from you
I'm running away from you
And your heart
It started off just a small time scandal
The people talk and they smile to win your confidence
Mistaken trust that you took as friendship
Has let you down when you needed to be up
Well all the money in the world
Can't buy the silence of this girl
So now everyone knows
I'm running away from you
I'm running away from you
I'm running away from you
And your heart
And you know that we will always stay
Lovers in a small town kind of way
But the high life called you
I should have known but instead
I'm running away from you
I'm running away from you
I'm running away from you
And your heart
Thinking back to when I first met you
So shy and young as an innocent
You were number one
No real desires I just want to be near you
You took my love, my emotion, then off you ran
My reputation as your flag
You held it high I bet you're glad
That everyone knows
I'm running away from you
I'm running away from you
I'm running away from you
And your heart
Watching the mist rolling over the sea
Watching the tide as it rolls into me
The ebb and flow just like my life
Contiual ups and downs
It's all part of the cycle
And the cycle must be round
Where's the affection in words when we say
I'm leaving tomorrow, I'm going away
Do the tears in your eyes
Make the future look blind
As you wait in your room
Spinning thoughts you may lose
When I think of all the times we've had
The times we've sat and thought
They were moments deep inside me
For all of my days - every way - every way
Leaving your heart is the hard thing to do
Being so close has clouded my view
Holding you near is a thing of the past
But my memories exist and I hope they will last
When I think of all times I'm sad
The feel of all we've lost
They were moments I remember
For all of my days - every way
He was a man just a simple man
His thoughts and pleasures were few
His bread he shared with his father
That was the life that he knew
And how the snow fell in Kiev today
And how the wind drove the mourners away
Now there is only one man at the grave of Davorian
And this man's heart is to heavy to pray
Nah Nah ...
Nah nah ...
He was a man just a simple man
Died at the place of his birth
His tombstone shared by the family
A silent place on the earth
An old man stands by the side of the grave
And this man's heart is too heavy to pray
For he is numb with the pain
Of the love that he couldn't share
Until he died there in Kiev today
Dah dah dah ...
Nah nah nah ...
He was a man just a simple man
Died at the place of his birth
His tombstone shared by the family
A silent place on the earth
An old man stands by the side of the grave
And this man's heart is to heavy to pray
For he is numb with the pain
Of the love that he couldn't share
And two men died there in Kiev today
Lah lah lah ...
Nah nah nah ...
Dah dah dah ...
Kings and Queens are running wild, lonely for each other
Princes gallant are no more staying under cover
Jesters' jokes aren't even funny, poking fun at sorrow
Lords and Ladies hoard their riches fearful for tomorrow
Fantasies turning into truth
Fantasies turning into truth
Knight in chromium plated armour looking for a reason
Kingdoms crops so fresh and pure are going out of season
Maidens locked in some far tower stay inside forever
Minstrels rhyming songs of reason changing with the weather
Faces the fanfare only the fool
Brought up and lived by the modern age
Brought a new spot to my life
I love the power you have over me
Amaze my friends and set me free
Here we are walking in step
We've got ideas that we haven't used yet
There's so much left that I want to do
Automatically I think of you
You beginning and you to end
You were the first you never bend
You walk beside me everywhere I go
Our secret's safe they'll never know
But here we are walking on down Electric avenue
Part of today in every way Electric avenue
I'm insecure and I'm not so sure
Cause you mean this much to me
Your heart is cold and you won't grow old
I'm full of tricks so watch and see
I can disappear without a trace
Just say the word I'll be gone from this place
There's so much left that I want to do
I'm automatic that I think of you
You beginning and you to end
You were the first you never bend
You walk beside me everywhere I go
Our secret's safe they'll never know
But here we are walking on down Electric avenue
Part of today in every way Electric avenue
You beginning and you to end
You were the first you never bend
You walk beside me everywhere I go
Forever earthbound - found in illusion
Spinning in circles deep, in my confusion
Memories fading - slip into fantasy
I may be leaving - then stay
Following endlessly
Tangled in silence (Tangled in silence)
Echoes I'm chasing (Echoes I'm chasing)
Falling in out of time, I see I'm wasting
Drifting and helpless, hold on to emptiness
We may be losing and lost
And see nothing more
Tangled in fragments - holding together
Taking my place with you, finding forever
Tomorrow's calling - bringing eternity
Now I can see we are bound
Into infinity
Closer I hear you, (tomorrow's calling), feel I am near you
It's been a lonely road, treading the same ground
So tired of waiting
(And you know it doesn't always have to be that way)
Forever earthbound
(And you know it sometimes only seems to be that way)
We walk a lonely road
(Reach out and - we'll be there)
Treading the same ground
(Reach out and - we're with you)
(We're with you)
(We're with you)
(Accept and believe, you have no cause to grieve)
(And however small, you're a part of it all)
(And all you conceal, you may reveal)
(Forever found, you'll be ever earthbound)
Forever earthbound, forever earthbound
Dear Landseer
We have been asked by the queen
She has heard you are the best
To capture her beloved animals for all to see
Dear Landseer
So highly thought of we agree
We know that your work is done
With love and care the Lions of Trafalgar Square
Highland Scene
Full of moody skies
A mountain stream
Heather in the breeze
You paint the land with a grace and speed
You paint a dog, a stag, a hawk, a deer
Dear Landseer
If you will honor our request
You'll be far away from weekend parties
Sketching people having fun and dancing
Dear Landseer
A view of haunting delight
Show upon a hill a place where time stand still
Her special ones will run among leaves
Highland Scene
Full of moody skies
A mountain stream
Heather in the breeze
You paint the land with grace and speed
You paint a dog, a stag, and hawk, a deer
This beautiful painting
Is now on her wall
Standing tall
Immortalized
now in oil
Dear Landseer
The veil of sadness that descended
Has been removed with this view
Dear Landseer
We thank you so much
There's no doubt you're the best loved artist in the land
There's no doubt you're the best loved in the land
The lonely street eclipsed the sun
Until the sculptor had begun
To etch and mold a dream
Which soon became a passing game
A sad forgotten scene
A face of yesterday
The builder laid his base of sand
And stretched his willing gentle hand
To seek the help, to shape the life
He had depended on
Which fell like rain and snow
A face of yesterday
The man of music wrote a score
For several instruments or more
When they played together
Then they found disharmony
A cluttered symphony
I thought it was over
I thought I was free of you
Then came deja vu
I thought there's no problem
I saw you had feet of clay
That was yesterday
I find I'm running going nowhere
I find I'm searching every crowd I pass through
Looking for you
Chorus:
Deja vu can really haunt you
Follow and confuse you
Secrets coming back to taunt you
Find you and then lose you
Memories are all you walk through
Yester- deja vu
I thought I was OK
I thought I was in control
I was not involved
I thought there's no hassle
Then I heard our special song
Everything went wrong
I see you standing in the doorway
I walk towards you and I find just shadow
Where did you go?
Chorus
I remember all the things we used to do together
In the past
Nothing ever seems to last
I wonder if there was some ... something neglected ...
Something left unsaid, hasty words instead
Anything that could go wrong
It seems nothing was ever right
I'm haunted by lost chances past
I call to you in dreams at night
I'm fettered by our yesterday
Tomorrow is a bird in flight
I run to turn another page
And there you are within but out of sight
Our love, a bird in flight
Island of Avalon fools, heroes equal share
Truth, legend, fantasy open every mystery
Feudal kings that bore no child
Witches fires burning wild
Chorus:
Island of Avalon, truth or lie
All is well, sound the bell
Merlin would please his king, potions, antiquities
Silas, god of the trees, men of fabled imagery
Descendents of your mystic crown
Walk your land where ghosts abound
Chorus
Island of Avalon as real as we pretend
Superstition without end, these countless names you lend
Stories with no boundaries
Overflow our histories
The thread is tugging hard
The refugee from Love's not his own
The rainy window tears
The seeds of grass confusion sown
The bait is laid at hand
The deal is much too good to miss
Lucifer sees a stray
And waits to mark him with his kiss
We walk the golden thread
And keep out footing firm and away
If you trip, I'll fall
I light this candle
with a wish
that I may travel on
to a higher place
I light this candle
at the time
of passing through a stage
let go and I move on
into the golden age
Chorus:
All my love
will melt the stone
held in a friendly hand
across the mountains
to the sea
the wind will kiss the sand
I light this candle
for my love
who hardly says a word
he looks with telling eyes
on the wings of snow white birds
I light this candle
with a thought
of how my life has grown
friends who gave hope and love
when I was far from home
Maybe he'll touch me, maybe he won't
Maybe he's just turning over
Feeling the words drying up in my throat
Maybe he's sleeping, maybe he's not
Maybe I whisper I love you
Maybe the whisper is all that I've got
Could this be heaven, could this be hell
Lying asleep with a stranger
The stranger's the man that I once knew so well
Lying in darkness, lying so still
Why do we lie to each other?
Pretending the things will work out until ...
Chorus:
Communication lets us down
It just went over and out
Communication gets us down
It just went over and over and over and ...
Once there was loving, then there was love
Two people wrapped in each other
Now separate shadows on the ceiling - no more
Then there was screaming, yelling and fights - over and over and over
Now the silence in this silent night .... aaawh
Chorus
Now won't you listen please
Oh, don't pretend that you're asleep
It seems like such an empty bed
It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over ...
Communication lets us down
It just went over and out
Communication gets us down
It just went over and out
Repeat Chorus twice
Each day brings me closer home to you
The place I long to see
Horizons lost regained
Always stay the same
In my mind never change for me - Kalynda
I need to feel the warmth of open skies
To lay beneath the sun
And watch the love birds fly
Clouds can fill my eyes
But still I see you reach for me - Kalynda
I have held you close to all the times
You've stayed inside my soul
When I am half I think of you
And life becomes a whole
Lazy shores are more to me
Than shifting sand and sea
You're my all, my refuge, where I must be
To rest in peace awhile - I hold Kalynda
Gentle wind that plays upon my face
Caress the evening dream
And watch the twilight fade
Into waking scenes
This I'll always share with you - Kalynda
I have held you close to all the times
You've stayed inside my soul
When I am half I think of you
And life becomes a whole
Lazy shores are more to me
Than shifting sand and sea
You're my all, my refuge, where I must be
Thunder
As walls fall down around them now
They cry alone because inside they know
If the full moon comes around
Again -
It will be
A gift from God, they're still alive
Haunting echoes of a baby's sigh
Gone in a heartbeat
Searching for a hiding place
Each one has a telling face
Lily's in the field
On the wings of a dove
Hush now
In their quiet dark blue night
They dream
They run
Like the wind on a wild bird's wing
So innocent and free
Lily's in the field
On the wings of a dove
Faith
Love
Lily's in the field
Dancing in the sunshine with the breeze
One life
One hope
One love
Lily's in the field
Faith
Love
Lily's in the field
One life
One hope
One love
Across the rainbow bridge
Lily's in the field
Faith
Love
Lily's in the field
Faith
Love
Lily's in the field
Faith
Love
Hush now
They dream
Of the wind on a wild bird's wing
They smile
Some people knocking at the door your tell them come on in
Still they hesitate and they don't se the way to go
Some people don't see what they're worth you tell them everything
Still they stand and wait don't seem to know the things they know
They're on the outside looking in
You tell them come on in
You give them everything
Lock in on love locked in on loving you
It's so simple and so true
Lock in on love you'll find out what to do
And your love will see you through
Some people sitting on the fence you tell them come right down
Still they seem to wait they seem afraid to let it be
Some people don't know what to do they haven't looked around
So they hold on tight they miss the things there are to see
They're on the fence they're looking down
You show them where they're bound
You tell them come around
Lock in on love your love will make you free
You'll be all that you can be
Lock in on love 'cause love is good for you
You will see what you can do
They're on the outside looking in
You tell them come on in
You give them everything
Lock in on love lock in on looking out
And you'll see what loves' about
Lock in on love you'll find your love can heal
And you'll know how much you feel
Lock in on love locked in on loving you
It's so simple and so true
Lock in on love you'll find out what to do
The sisters worked for the people round them
Their Spanish lace wove some bread for the poor
And they cared and tried but were worn with
Their fears and the years of heartbreak
Dust and wine stained the men who knew them
The sweat of days in the angry sun
And the men were weak, and they cried
And they asked, "Sisters, make us holy."
The sisters prayed, "Give us hope for something."
The men asked, "Where is your God today?"
And the empty eyes as the sisters prayed held
Their thoughts unspoken
There was nothing they could do
Earth was dust for miles around
Nothing new survived
Everything was barren on the land
And the truth they tried to understand just died
Everything was barren on the land
I don't know what you say
The animals are back
There's a time and a place
No more than right but hold off them
They'll be stuck in your face
Make a move, make it now
And if your rhythm of place
You better get out
Or understand what I say
There's only so much time we can devote to you
As we pass on our way
We're not so far away
The animals are back
And you better beware
They're coming in from the fields
To move around as their own
Make a move, make it now
We spent too long in one place but now we get out
No commands without plays
There's only so much time in which you can decide
Your power's drifted away
To coordinate with a tread
The messages grow to an end
And if you chime up now
There's a call of a voiceless bell
Saying call me now
It called me now
Just waiting in the wings
Just a matter of time
We fight back
No more pats on the back
Degredation as we get
All we are ...
A reason for time
A reason for rhymes
Why stop now
He often crawled on your knees
With his sense we can see
Six are we
The animals are back so prepare to adjust
But that's the truce of the changed
Life wasn't fun on the farm
But it did us no harm
Just to keep us the rage
I don't care when there are plays, you better get out
Or understand what I say
There's only so much time we can devote to you
As we pass on our way
So coordinate with a tread
The messages grow to an end
And if you chime up now
There's a call of a voiceless bell
Saying call me now
It called me now
Just waiting in the wings
Just a matter of time
We fight back
No more pats on the back
Degredation as we get
All we are ...
A reason for time
A reason for rhymes
Why stop now
He often crawled on your knees
With his sense we can see
Taking time to find the right line
Talking easy with the thoughts you want to share
Leaning down, feel you growing in my mind
Stealing down, going down, feel you growing in my mind
It's got to be slow,
Talking love the only way
It's got to just flow,
Making love and taking time to let it grow
Finding ways to find the real you
Spending days just holding hands and feeling free
Play around, watch the sunshine coming through
Come around, stay around, watch the loving grow with you.
It's got to be slow,
Talking love the only way
It's got to just flow,
Making love and taking time to let it grow
Loving you, the love you give me
Living, loving with the things we have share
Poetry, hear the words you say to me
Stay with me, here with me, keep our loving flowing free.
It's got to be slow,
Talking love the only way
It's got to just flow,
Voices and music cry to be heard
See the white horses ride out on the surf
Chicken will gather they live for the day
Lifting our spirits in their Latin way
Rivers and mountains the mist on the sea
All come together a patchwork of dreams
Brothers in stone always standing in line
Old southern cross luminous in the sky
Rhythm of the night in the dark lagoon
Lovers on the sand
Dancing never ends Life in Brazil
Just before midnight the streets come alive
Hearts beating faster as darkness arrives
See through silk dresses the temperatures rise
Weaving a pattern enriching their lives
Rhythm of the night in the dark lagoon
Lovers on the sand
Dancing never ends
Life in Brazil
Moonlight is waning and night starts to end
Kissing a lover embracing a friend
Ages of laughter and love in their eyes
Finger of god reaching up to the heavenly sky
Life in Brazil
He stood with bow in hand as the curtain rose
Thunderous applause
It was a day that she would remember
Eyes staring straight ahead as the music flowed
From his fine thin hands
Lady from Tuscany captivated
Satisfied all his needs
Fed him with desire, held him like a child
Closer than anyone
Legend surrounds him
Fire, obsession
He had a taste for life like no other man
Overwhelming man Leader in time with public approval
Then as his gift took over his torture grew
Lady slipped away
Waits in his shadow watching changes
He doesn't notice her
Flirting with another, wishing for him
She travels far away
Legend surrounds him
Lady, his passion
Beauty followed her to a friendly field
She floats there with no cares
Mistress of the night in her precious room
She longs for her loved one
Satisfied all his needs
Fed him with desire held him like a child
Closer than anyone
Legend surrounds her
Water no fire
Lady like no other
Mad man adored her
Legend surrounds her
Water no fire
Lady like no other
There bound to lazy days
Here they would dream
Cast all their doubts away
Leaves upon a stream
So they would make a place
Love flowing free
Held in a summer smile
Strangers wild and sweet
Though she's flown, wild and free
Still behind his eyes she stays
There beneath his mind she lays
She is love
Smiles just a winter smile
Tries to hang on
Why even she can't say
What it is that's gone
Though she's flown, wild and free
Still behind his eyes she stays
There beneath his mind she lays
She is love
Still behind his eyes she stays
There beneath his mind she lays
My love is the ocean, seas of seeing
My love is living and being
My love is the wind all cast through
My love is real and you
Love is all, love is one, love is one
My love is the sky and the air
My love is around everywhere
My love is the earth and eternity
My love is forever and free
Love is all, love is one, love is one
My love is the way and the song
My love is all and is one
My love is below and above
And everywhere love is love
Somewhere I had seen you
Just a face within a crowd
Softly touch my shoulder
Maybe you can tell me why
I hear your voice
In the wind while I'm sleeping
In my dreams I can see you
You're smiling at me
You, (I love you Luminai) you colour all my darkest nights
And keep my spirits dancing (I love your Luminai)
Until the morning
When, (I love you Luminai) I hold your face inside my hands
My fingers start to tremble (I love you Luminai)
As I try to kiss you
You have such a strange name
From some far off distant place
Can you stay forever
Always be inside my space
I feel you move
In the wind while I'm sleeping
In my dreams I can feel you
Your're laughing with me
You, (I love you Luminai) you colour all my darkest nights
And keep my spirits dancing (I love you Luminai)
Until the morning
You, (I love you Luminai) you take me to a higher plane
And open up my senses (I love you Luminai)
To love never ending
I feel your hand
On my heart while I'm sleeping
In my dreams I can touch you
You're holding me tight
You, (I love you Luminai) you colour all my darkest nights
And keep my spirits dancing (I love you Luminai)
Until the morning
Now, (I love you Luminai) we'll never be alone again
You'll stay with me forever
A different smile upon her face
He's proud to be a part of it all
A welcome from the human race
A world so big and one that's so small
You see they've come so very far
But can't believe that's
The way it was planned
Just can't understand
That only angels have wings
With all the love they could give
Is this a fit place to live
Where only angels have wings
Through school days growing very fast
Today a boy, tomorrow a man
His roots set deeply in the past
It's hard but keep your head if you can
You see he's come so very far
But can't believe that's
The way it was planned
Just can't understand
That only angels have wings
Ambition so low with nowhere to go
As only angels have wings
Then suddenly an element of chance
Night falls on his town
The colours blend and dance
He's breaking in, no time to go back
There must be some way out
Making life easy - hear him shout it out
His father can't believe his ears
His mother stands with tears in her eyes
No child of theirs could be so wrong
Deep down inside a part of them dies
You see they tried so very hard
But just can't see that's
The way it was planned
Just can't understand
That only angels have wings
A part of our age, an action in rage
And only angels have wings
So far away, a time for second thought
Things seem much clearer now
The price for being caught
He longs for home and wants to go back
To how it was before
Love goes on, love goes on, love goes on
As the days pass out of sight
Fading memories in the night
You have moved it once again
It's always there behind the main
I thought love so gentle so pure
I knew love so sweet and so secure
Turning with an open heart
With a touch we would never be apart
Flames of love now ash just drifts away
Here I am I'm lost and love's astray
I can never love again
For love lied and it died in the end
If I knew then what I know now
If I had known it all somehow
Always believing
Love deceiving
I could have held my shattered dream
Seen all the things I should have seen
Now I know love lies
Now I know love is bound to die
So much love now gone just slipped away
So much pain to see that love betrays
I will never love again
For love lies and it will die in the end
I thought I saw love in his eyes
But now I know that love just lies
Leaving me hollow
Nothing to follow
So I will never give me heart
And I will always stand apart
Now I know love lies
Now I know love is bound to die
And love was nothing but a need
Devoured by an empty greed
The ashes fill my empty heart
I will always stand apart
This from love's beguiling mask
The kiss the questions never asked
And now I know that love just lies
I know love is bound to die
Love lies love dies
Love lies love dies
Love lies love dies
Love lies love dies
Love lies love dies
Love lies love dies
Love lies love dies
Love lies love dies
[Prayer Part 2]
How many times will I plead on bended knee before
I transcend to the one you would have me to be? .
Bless us now as we build anew
Grant us values to hold on to regardless of the evils that men do .
From perseverance purity shines through
In this brave new world there's no home sweet home,
and so we carry on building Rome .
Unto you we will make a joyful sound
Unto you our praises will abound
Unto you we combine both mind and heart
Understanding they can't survive apart
What it's worth to me... Eternity! .
How many times will I plead on bended knee before I transcend
to the one you would have me to be
In this brave new world there's no home sweet home and so we carry on building Rome
Remnants of Art from eons ago
Give us this wisdom inspire the soul.
Stories of love and stories of woe
Remnants of Art from eons ago.
Civilizations stood before time
Passing their torches to give us a sign
Music whose melodies hold you sublime.
Civilizations stood before time.
Statues still stand in the ruins of war
Symbols of life from once long before.
The doors of Atlantis are left unexplored
Statues still stand in the ruins of war.
Chorus:
Renaissance! Be born again.
Sometimes in our ignorance, we forget what things are real
Searching for our innocence, we forget what things to feel
We're all alone at sea sometimes, looking back without regret
Reminded of the past sometimes, remembering to not forget
Perfection
can never be achieved
Unless we learn how to forgive
Through His death we learned to believe
Through His life we learned how to live
The Golden Son blows a silver breeze
Through my copper sails
And His water sets me free
A renaissance of life occur
As the horizon fades into me
Renaissance, renaissance
Renaissance, renaissance
Sail away but not too far
Don't be scared to return
Understanding who we are
Through our mistakes we learn
Sometimes the water may get rough
Sometimes the water may
surround
But sometimes are never always enough
There's always time to find higher ground
The Golden Son blows a silver breeze
Through my copper sails
And His water sets me free
A renaissance of life occurs
As the horizon fades into me
Renaissance
, renaissance
Renaissance, renaissance
Ignorance, angel, faith, heaven, atrocity
Beauty, promise, truth, sorrow, tears, hate, forgiveness
Questions, learn, believe, breathe, night, strength, universe
Answers, pain, fight, flight, guilt, joy, ignominy
Silence, time, rain, peace, life, color, family
How can we believe but still not see?
Ignorance, angel, faith, heaven, atrocity

That sometimes the water may get rough
Sometimes the water may surround
But sometimes are never always enough
re's always time to find higher ground
The Golden Son blows a silver breeze
Through my copper sails
And the water sets me free
A renaissance of life occurs
As the horizon fades into me

This night sky's brighter than any i've ever seen
Your words are rolling off your lips
And i've never heard a voice so soothing
Your curly hair drapes in your eyes,
And soon your hand falls into mine
That just goes to show this night is endless
Your right, i know i've been unfair....but so have
you..
and this affair is starting over
So the days will go on anyways, just like they do
everyday
And at least i know i'm spending them with you
The sun and moon begin to share the sky
and our legs are intertwined /
and your smiling face serves as my reflection /
and this one last solemn kiss sends a shiver to my skin
That just goes to show this night is endless
Your right, i know i've been unfair....but so have
you..
and this affair is starting over
So the days will go on anyways, just like they do
everyday
And at least i know i'm spending them with you
Faded portraits on my wall
Staring back at me in spite
In spite of everything i've done
To prevent another fight
Everything seems clearer
Through this broken mirror
That was shattered by my fist / love should never come
to this
Your right, i know i've been unfair....but so have
you..
and this affair is starting over
So the days will go on anyways, just like they do
everyday
And at least i know i'm spending them with you
--(Guitar break)--
Your right, i know i've been unfair....but so have
you..
and this affair is starting over
So the days will go on anyways, just like they do
everyday
I like the way that your hair falls away when the night brings a candle to you
And I like to stare as you come down the stair and the light from the landing shines through
And how many fallen leaves will it take to believe that autumn has finally come
The weathers grown colder and we've both grown older it's hard to believe we're still one
[Chorus]
Let's dance that old dance once more, still move as smooth on that old ballroom floor
I'll wear my Sunday best, you wear your favourite dress
Lock up the door, and lets dance that old dance once more
You hung around keep my feet on the ground when I acted as proud as a fool
We were kids and we've grown, we've got kids of our own Got to raise by the old golden rule
Somehow it seems, some of our dreams got discarded somewhere on the road
When all that was true could be found in the blue of your eyes that still sparkle and glow
[Chorus]
The Frost King has come and with a flick of his thumb turned the windows to Renaissance art
As we sit round the fire with no need to enquire about the ways of the soul and the heart
Years passed us by like a soft whispered sigh not noticing youth as it flew
It's easy to tell that you wear your age well not trying to prove you're still you
[Chorus 2x]
He was a man just a simple man
His thoughts and pleasures were few
His bread he shared with his father
That was the life that he knew
And how the snow fell in Kiev today
And how the wind drove the mourners away
Now there is only one man at the grave of Davorian
And this man's heart is to heavy to pray
Nah Nah ...
Nah nah ...
He was a man just a simple man
Died at the place of his birth
His tombstone shared by the family
A silent place on the earth
An old man stands by the side of the grave
And this man's heart is too heavy to pray
For he is numb with the pain
Of the love that he couldn't share
Until he died there in Kiev today
Dah dah dah ...
Nah nah nah ...
He was a man just a simple man
Died at the place of his birth
His tombstone shared by the family
A silent place on the earth
An old man stands by the side of the grave
And this man's heart is to heavy to pray
For he is numb with the pain
Of the love that he couldn't share
And two men died there in Kiev today
Lah lah lah ...
Nah nah nah ...
Dah dah dah ...
