Who are you now
First love of mine
If you could see
You'd reach out for me
In hallways
And in secret doorways
Were love's hiding places
With nowhere to go
Goodbye
To the fields and byways
I remember saying
I don't want to leave
Cos you, were all, there was to know
About me
Somewhere
On this crazy island
A familiar stranger
Sleeps so far away
Wonder in the eyes of children
And the smile of fortune
Helps the memory fade
Cos they are all there is to know
About me
Who are you now
Now as we speed a little faster through the stars
To this new world of ours
With the seed that the garden requires
And as we drift a little further from the shore
Like the sea evermore
I'm the ivy that clings round your door
When you wake up
You will find
That you're not where you left yourself
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Now as we drift a little further down the stream
Was it all what it seemed
Was it true
Was it real
Or just a dream
When you wake up
You will find
That you're not where you left yourself
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Now as we speed a little faster through the stars
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
The lights are lowAnd the music now is slowAnd we ask the nightHow can this be wrong and feel so right?
They say it's trueI'm a fool to trust in youBut then who are theyWho are they to know, I need you so
Did you ever look in the mirrorAnd see a stranger standing thereDid you ever drive for miles and milesAnd wonder how on earth you got yourself there
I feel your magic as we move and swaySeems like my self-control is slipping awayLet me taste the love, let me drink the wineThat's yours and mine
Did you ever wake up in the morningTo find that nothing, nothing was the sameAnd the only thing that really mattersIs the pleasure and the pain
The secret that you keepIs hidden way down deepI see it in the window of your soulI hear it in your voiceI feel it in your touchThe love that's in your heart you can control
So take your chancesLet's not pretendCause we may neverPass this way again
The pleasures of the nightThe darkness and the lightIt's hard to see the writing on the wallI hear it in your voiceI feel it in your touchI see it through the window of your soul
As the dawn is breaking on your future my child
Is there none of your love alive?
If every door you open closes on me
I don't know if I can survive
I don't know if I can survive
Long is the road that takes you from home
My baby, oh my darling
Sleepless are the hours
And lonely is the night
For the poor tormented soul
Who is searching for the light
This morning
I opened my eyes
I knew from the silence
That something was wrong
Turning I realised
I wanted to cry
When I knew I was alone
But where will you go
And who will be your guide
And which way will you turn
The waters are so wide
Cos I never told you
No you'll never really know
I need you so
Now the sun is rising on your freedom my child
Is there none of your love alive?
Every door you open closes on me
I don't know if I can survive
Knowing part of your love was lies
Long is the road
That takes you from home
My baby
Oh my darling
Sleepless are the hours
And lonely is the night
The poor tormented soul
Who is searching for the light
The moment
I opened my eyes
I knew from the silence
That something was wrong
Turning
I realised
I wanted to cry
When I knew I was alone
But where will you go
And who will be your guide
And which way will you turn
The waters are so wide
Cos I never told you
No you'll never really know
I need you so
Pain, sorrow, tears
Long, lonely years
With love
Having passed me by
I could live a lie for you
But truth is the road I choose
Knowing all I need to do
Is give to you
Down, down down
Where your dreams are found
They're sleeping inside of us all
They're sleeping inside of us all
Nights, winters, years
Pain, sorrow, tears of mine
Cannot hold me now
I'm a fool to fall for you
But here
In the morning light
Tell me how can love be wrong
And feel so right
When you're swallowing all your pride
Do you need somewhere
A place to hide
A smile from your face
Where the light comes shining through
All its strength it came from you
It's lost now all that age before I knew you
Is it that forever is hard to find
You made me recognise what I'd been leaving far behind
Is it closing in on you like it was on me
This time I'm saved by the music
Saved by the song we can sing
This time I'm saved by the music
Saved by the song that you bring
When you're following all life's lies
And find its meaning
The truth still hides
Don't cover your face
Let the warmth come flowing through
Welcome dawn new morning dew
This time I'm saved by the music
Saved by the song we can sing
This time I'm saved by the music
Saved by the song that you bring
When you're swallowing all life's lies
This time we're saved by the music
Saved by the song we can sing
This time we're saved by the music
Saved by the song that you bring
This time we're saved
We won't be sleeping on our own tonight
The star that guides us
Is still shining bright
And in the darkness
There will always be a light
I think I know now
What is wrong and what is right
'Cos I was raised on love
Yes I was raised on love
And I thank heaven above
For being raised on love.
Seems like Venus was around my sign
She must have been there
In that house of mine
And when she tells me
That I'm on the right track
When she tells me
There's no looking back
'Cos I was raised on love
Yes I was raised on love
And I thank heaven above
For being raised on love
Why worry, it's alrightI'm with you through the nightI've listened to your dreamsI feel the presence that you've seenStep out of the darknessAnd into the lightThe words of the promiseThat was made were rightNo tears and no troublesNo heartache, no painI know that we're going to be one again
Still waters run so deepThe world listens when you speakOne nation of the freeAll believing that there'll beNo troubles and no hungerNo heartache, no painI know that we're living to be one againWalk out of the darkness and into the sunAnd wake to the morning when we live as one
Do you ever get the feelingThat it's all coming trueAnd it's all being realised by youDo you ever get the feelingWhat was prophesied was trueAnd it's all being witnessed now by you
The faces of the childrenIn the artist's loving handsAre all returningInto sandThe waters of the oceansAnd the rivers running dryIt brings a tear to your eyeDon't let Terra die
Do you ever get the feelingThat it's all coming trueAnd it's all being recognised by youDo you ever get the feelingNostradamus told us trueAnd it's all being witnessed now by you
The waters of the oceansAnd the rivers running dryIt brings a tear to your eyeThe faces of the childrenIn the artist's loving handsAre all returningInto sandAnd slipped right through our hands
We were two lonely travelersIn the sky that nightTwo lonely travelers, high flyingAlone in the night on an endless flightKilling time with polite conversationKilling time in your shy hesitating wayKilling time, killing my isolation
Two lonely travelers breaking iceBy opening up a few old back pages
We were two golden eagles in the sky todayTwo golden eagles high flyingWho swept through the airTo a secret lairFlying free slowly wheeling and glidingFlying free on the sea and the high plateauFlying free on the breeze without trying
Two lonely travelers breaking iceBy opening up a few old back pagesAnd letting secrets out of their cagesBut wanting to remain perfect strangers
'Cos I was on a night flightFloating above the worldYes it was the moonlightPainting the wings in pearlHigh above the cloudsHigh above the world
Yes I was on a night flightLost in a different worldI can see the starlightSilver a gypsy girlHigh above the cloudsHigh above the world
We were two lonely travelersIn the sky that nightTwo lonely travelers, high flyingAlone in the night on an endless flightKilling time with polite conversationKilling time in your shy hesitating wayKilling time, killing my isolation

Yes I was on a night flightFloating above the worldYes it was the moonlightPainting the wings in pearlHigh above the cloudsHigh above the world
The cool of the eveningThe strange unknown of the nightThe warmth of the morningThe graceful bird in its flightWell don't be afraid of the worldLet me take you by the handWe can move mountains
The gift of tomorrowThe friends we've left far behindThe ones we rememberTheir love will live in our mindsWell don't turn aroundDon't look backLet me take you by the handWe can move mountains
Cause the sands of timeAre on our sidePut your hand in mineLet our fortunes rideWe'll sail awayOn a wave of loveLet the four winds blowFrom heaven above
The wind on the water seemsTo whisper soft in my earThe call of the oceanAcross the waves I can hearDon't be afraid of the worldLet me take you by the handWe can move mountains
Maybe
Maybe I'm wrong
To go on thinking, to sing my song
Maybe
This world's falling down
Call up the trumpeters and knock the walls down
Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you
Slowly
Slowly we walk
No harm in crying, no sense in talk
Slowly
The ice melts away
Call on the choir to sing
And turn no-one away
Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you
Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you
Maybe
Maybe I'm wrong
The river holds its breath
The sea will keep its calm
Slowly
Slowly we turn
A look at where we've been
The juggler has to learn
Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you
Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you
Beyond the tearsBehind her eyesShe feels the needTo rationalizeTo catch the thoughtThat can't be caughtAnd hold it for a whileBeyond the fearsBehind her liesShe sees the truthBut still she triesTo hold on fastTo dreams that lastNo longer than a smile
It's not onToo much has come between usToo much has goneAnd in our hearts we both knowThat it's just not on
The feeling's goneAnd in our heartsWe both knowThat it's just not on
It's funny howAs time goes bySome feelings growWhile others dieBut who are weTo disagreeWith what our hearts dictate
And only foolsWho dare ignoreThe empty hoursThat lie in storeFor those who striveTo keep aliveToo little love too late
It's not onToo much has come between usToo much has goneAnd in our hearts we both knowThat it's just not on
The feeling's goneAnd in our heartsWe both knowThat it's just not on
Like the crashing of a wave
On the shores of consciousness
We're alive and
We're awake to the world
And with the gift of love we're blessed
'Cos we can be
Yes, we can be
We can be
Children of paradise
Children of paradise
In the twinkling of an eye
Or the turning of a page
Comes the moment when
Our time has arrived
We can never be the same
We can be
Yes, we can be
We can be
Children of paradise
Children of paradise
And all I know
Is we're still climbing up that hill
And all we need to sustain us
Is love of love
The light of life
And the faith to know we can heal
Like children
Through the violence and the rage
By the grace of love be still
And the spirit that breaks free from the cage
Is the one they cannot kill
We can be
Yes, we can be
We can be
Children of paradise

You know I bled you
Led you on a lie (Led me on a lie)
You say I fooled you

Over and overI keep going overThe things that you saidThen walked out of my lifeThe chain has been brokenThe words have been spokenThe door it is openAnd waiting for you
Somewhere there's a reasonThere's a reason whyWhy love has to falterWhy love has to die
And I knowSomewhere there's an answerBut it can't tell meWhat I need to hearWhat I need to see, and I go
Over and overI keep going overThe things that you saidThen walked out of my lifeGoodbye is all that comes to meGoodbye is all I can hearSo long, it seems so long to me now, ohh, ohh
Somewhere in the distanceThere's a child who seesLooking for a reasonLooking to be free, and I knowSomewhere there's an answerBut it can't tell meWhat I need to hearWhat I need to see, and I go
I know that you know that we know
As plain as the stars that are shining above
And I know that you know I wait for the morning
I wake up beside you my love
And all of the things that you thought you should tell me
Are all that I needed to know
You told me our love was eternal
Eternity's such a long time left to go
Two crazy lovers we must find a way
Hold on now baby I am on my way
Book us a ticket on the midnight train
You never know darling, they might never see us again
'Cos I know that you know that we know
As plain as the stars that are shining above
And I know that you know I wait for the morning
I wake up beside you my love
It seems like the world has been waiting to show us
A secret it's kept for so long
And oh how I know that it's love that has found us
It's found us right where we belong
Two crazy lovers we must find a way
Hold on now baby I am on my way
Book us a ticket on the midnight train
You never know darling, they might never see us again
They might never see us again
They might never see us again, again, again
Two crazy lovers we must find a way
Hold on now baby I am on my way
Book us a ticket on the midnight train
You never know darling, they might never see us again
Two crazy lovers we must find a way
Hold on now baby I am on my way
It's just the beginning there can be no end
You never know darling, they might never see us again
They might never see us again
They might never see us again, again, again
Oh I dreamed last night I was hearing
Hearing your voice
And the things that you said well they left me
Left me no choice
And you told me we had the power
And you told me this was the hour
That you don't know how
If I could show you now
Well I dreamed last night you were calling
Calling my name
You were locked inside of you secrets
Calling my name
And you told me lost was the key
And you told me how you long to be free
That you don't know how
Oh let me show you now
Like a bird on a far distant mountain
Like a ship on an uncharted sea
You are lost in the arms that have found you
Don't be afraid
Love's plans are made
Oh don't be afraid
If there's a time
And a place to begin love
It must be now
Let it go
Set it free
Oh I dreamed last night I was hearing
Hearing your voice
Why did you say those things that have left me
Left me no choice
When you told me we had the power
Why did you tell me now was the hour
But you don't know how
Oh let me show you now
Like a bird on a far distant mountain
Like a ship on an uncharted sea
You are lost in the arms that have found you
Oh don't be afraid
Love's plans are made
Don't be afraid
If there's a time
And a place to begin love
It must be now
Let it go
Set it free
Oh I dreamed last night I was hearing
Hearing your voice
Lay along side me beautiful ladyDark as the blackest hour of nightDeep in my body warm and lazyUnder the sheets and out of sightWon't you tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime storiesOh let me close my eyes and drift awayTell me, tell me, tell me bedtime storiesTell me in a very special way
Rolling and tumblingSweet sensation doing the things we both do bestMaking the most of a situation, yeahI can't stop this pounding in my chestWhen you tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime storiesOh let me close my eyes and drift awayTell me, tell me, tell me bedtime storiesTell me in a very special way
Life is a struggle
Baby you got to choose
Hear the call of the wild wind
What have you got to lose
So take off that coat and kick off those crazy shoes
I can see by your smile that you're ready
Well I'm ready too
Oh life is a puzzle
Baby you've got to try
But don't let it get you
Don't let it pass you by
'Cos here and now darling
Here and now you got me
And something inside me tells me it's meant to be
Will it be alright
I'm getting a message from someone
Will it turn out right
It's not just a face in the crowd
It's not just a face in the crowd
Face in the crowd
Will it be alright
I'm getting a message from someone
Will it turn out right
It's not just a face in the crowd
It's not just a face in the crowd
Face in the crowd
Life is a struggle
Baby you got to choose
Hear the call of the wild wind
What have you got to lose
So take off that coat and kick off those crazy shoes
I can see by your smile that you're ready
Well I'm ready too
So just close your eyes
I'm getting a message from someone
Through a clear blue sky
It's not just a face in the crowd
It's not just a face in the crowd
Face in the crowd
Blue guitar
Fortune of my ways
Making of my days
New chord
Counting up the ways
Happiness is lazy
If you don't know the song
If you can't put the words to the tune
Tell the rhyme from the reason
What should it matter
To the fool or the dreamer
New hope
Travellers in a storm
Finding love is warm
New day
The world has just begun
Our eyes have seen the sun
If you don't know the way
If you can't see the wood for the trees
Taste the wine from the water
Well what should it matter
To the fool or the dreamer
I was only a little boy, when I heard the call
Like a voice in the wilderness, that calls to us all
So I took to the gypsy life, in the city of love
And I walked with the troubadours
And flew with the doves
In the city of love
In the garden of paradise, I heard a voice sing
I can still feel the thrill of it, the chills it would bring
Far away in the western sky, over the sea
There's a land that we dream about, peaceful and free
Waiting for me
Hold my hand, let me take you there
Let's go walking in the morning
As time goes by, love will wash us clean
Let love bring to us our freedom
And we will sing of the heroes
And fly on the breeze
Love with the lovers of the world
Oh oh oh...we'll be free
In the dark of the mystic night, music is born
In the hands of the troubadour, the piper of dawn
And it's heard of a foreign shore, over the sea
In the land that we dream about, peaceful and free
Waiting for me
YOU SAY TO ME - WHY CAN'T IT BE
JUST LIKE IT WAS ONCE BEFORE
WELL YOU LEAD THE WAY AND I'LL FIND THE TREE
YOU CATCH THE LEAVES AS THEY FALL
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT IT'S NOT TOO LATE - THE TIME'S NOT PAST
DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S NOT TOO LATE
AND EVEN THOUGH I TELL MYSELF - ALL IS LOST
SOMEWHERE THERE'S A SPARK OF HOPE .
SOMEHOW THE WORLD KEEPS TURNING
PROMISING A BETTER DAY
SOMEWHERE THE SPARK IS BURNING - AWAY
IF WE WERE FREE - TO DO AS WE PLEASE
WHAT WOULD WE CHANGE - YOU AND I
TO HOLD BACK THE NIGHT - TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT
TO LIVE UNDER BRIGHT BLUE BLUE SKY
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT IT'S NOT TOO LATE - THE TIME'S NOT PAST
DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S NOT TOO LATE
AND EVEN THOUGH I TELL MYSELF - ALL IS LOST
BUT SOMEWHERE THERE'S A SPARK OF HOPE
SOMEHOW THE WORLD KEEPS TURNING
PROMISING A BETTER DAY
SOMEWHERE THE SPARK IS BURNING - AWAY
AS WE LOOK TO THE HORIZON
WAY OUT ON THE SEA
WE SEE THE SUN STILL RISING
JUST FOR YOU AND ME
WHEN WE WERE YOUNG - LIFE WAS SO STRANGE
SO COMPLICATED WE WOULD CRY
BUT WHEN WE GROW OLD
WILL MYSTERY HOLD US BOTH IN ITS SPELL AS TIME GOES BY
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT IT'S NOT TOO LATE
We're waiting for the sunrise
Marie
Marie.
We're standing in the moon's eyes
Marie
Marie.
And when I tell you that I'll always be around
I'll be around
And when I tell you that it's true love that we've found
It's what we've found
The bad times and the good
Worries and the fights
A man needs a lover that can see him through the night.
We're waiting for the sunrise
Marie
And me.
We're standing in the moon's eyes
Right or wrong
Weak or strong.
And when I tell you that I'll always be around
I'll be around
And when I tell you that it's true love that we've found
That's what we've found
The bad times and the good
Worries and the fights
A man needs a lover that can see him through the night.
We're waiting for the sunrise
Marie
And me.
We're standing in the moon's eyes
Right or wrong
Weak or strong
Yeah
Marie
And me.
Right or wrong
Weak or strong
Marie.
I was driving down a lonely highway
As the sun went down
I heard a voice right beside me saying
Why don't you turn around
Why don't you stop - feel the wonder
Listen to the sound
Well I heard it - I heard it
I heard it - I heard it
Have you listened to the bell at midnight
On the still night air
It sets you dreaming of the strangest journey
Across the great somewhere
Then you start the brave adventure
Dreams without a care
Well I heard it - I heard it
I heard it - I heard it
Like leaves borne on the wind
Our words will fade and die
Only to return
As new life by and by
The passions that we feel
Like lovers wild and free
Are footsteps on the sand
Holding back the mighty sea
There's a place - a secret garden
And when the day is done
We lie among the grass and flowers
Underneath the sun
As we look up the sky is turning
But with the earth we're one
Well I heard it - I heard it
I heard it - I heard it
The passions that we feel
Like lovers wild and free
Are footsteps on the sand
Holding back the mighty sea
There's a voice - that calls us onwards
Down the lonely street
And when we tread the path no longer
The circle is complete
A million souls scream in anguish
They tell me that the sun comes up every morningThey tell me that there's people out on the streetBut why is life so cruel (he's doin' time)They tell me man he tops the list in creationHe takes his place as uncrowned king of the worldBut why is man so cruel (he's doin' time)(ain't it a crime)
Oh Prince of peaceWe need you nowGive us a signTo show us how
Locked in her room the lover mourns her betrayer(it's such a shame, he took the blame)Seems even love possesses treachery tooBut how can love be cruel (he's doin' time)(he's doin' time, ain't it a crime)(it's such a shame, he took the blame)
Where did we go wrong
We had all the magic to put us on our way
And all the tragedy that we ever want to see
But you know I'm right
When I say the best is yet to come
Where did we go wrong
Was it so enlightening we couldn't find our way?
All so frightening
We couldn't see which move to make
But you know I'm right
When I say the best is yet to come
And if you leave me now
Like you say you might
Oh please don't leave me now
'Cause I know, if you do
None of this will come true so
Where do we go now
Now your heart is aching
And leading you astray
Me I'm burning up
Tryin' to get you to stay
'Cause you know I'm right
When I say the best is yet to come
And you know the best is still to come
And if you leave me now
Like you say you might
Oh please don't leave me now
'Cause I know, if you do
None of this will come true, so
Where did we go wrong
We had all the magic to put us on our way
And all the tragedy, that we ever want to see
But you know I'm right
When I say the best is yet to come
And you know the best is yet to come
You don't even know my name
Time was when you would
Take the love you've given all away
Take a part of me
You don't even walk my road
Can't find where you turned
Looked away and you were gone
Now we're on our own
Old man is this why we're alone
I, I believe
What is lost for ever has brought the change in me
I, I believe
What is lost for ever has brought the change in me
You don't even know my world
I've tried hard to see
If I'd found the world you're looking for
There'd be a change in me
You don't even know my name
Time was when you would
Take the love you've given all away
Take a part of me
You've gone and changed the world I see
I, I believe
What is lost for ever has brought the change in me
I, I believe
What is lost for ever has brought the change in me
Nearer, nearer to youI found that it's true that I'm feelingCloser, closer by farI found that we are getting closer

My brother
If you could cast a little light on someone
It's not too soon
You took me halfway round the world
I'm running out of time and reasons
My true friend
If you could tell me what it is that keeps you
From coming down
You left me way up in the clouds
The higher you fly
The less I see you
So far
Cross a wild and windy sea
So far
That our voices are divided by an ocean
An ocean
My brother
If you could take a little time to slow down
It's more your style
It takes a lifetime to decide
I'm running out of time and reasons
I'm running out
I'm running out
So far
Cross a wild and windy sea
So far
That our voices are
Divided by an ocean
An ocean
One more illusion shattered
One more broken dream
Oh that the morning brings the sun
Gone are the days when I could bounce right back again
See how the tears flow down
Like sweet summer rain
Where does it leave me now
I find myself so free again
Even the smallest traces
Of your sweet perfume
Open the flood gates and I'm helpless
Now as the moonlight shadows
Cast across my room
Only these whispered words
Are heard in the night
Only a silent prayer
'I love you still
I always will'
Out of the dark I stumbled
Into the light
Only my fear has tumbled
I think I always knew
That I would run to you
Somewhere there's children playing
Somewhere far away
Running with open arms to greet me
Over the hill the sunset
Dies and fades away
I turn and I close the door
With one last goodbye
I will return no more
Now this ain't the best numberI ever wroteBut I wrote it for youAnd you aloneNow these aren't the best wordsThat I ever spokeBut I'll say them to youAnd you alone
Thousands of peopleDream songs every nightAnd these worn out chordsGo on working for meStill you keep on asking meWhere is the Eden that we've dreamed ofSo many times we've been deniedBut we can say that we're in loveOh yesOh yes
Now thousands of peopleDream songs every nightBut these worn out chordsGo on working for meStill you keep on asking meWhere is the Eden that we've dreamed ofSo many times we've been deniedBut we can say that we're in loveOh yesOh yes
Da da da da da da da
Sometimes I find myself searchingAs I walk the streets all aloneSearching the faces for someoneSomeone to take me back home, back homeWho knows where the future leads usThe waters are wide, the road is longI pray for a hand to guide usAnd welcome us back where we belong
So many miles come between usAnd fate seems to keep us apartFortune once brought us togetherIs there a still a place in your heart, in your heart
Someday when my journey's overI'll come stumbling back to you, my loveAnd I know when the circle's brokenI'll come tumbling back to you, my love
But I long for the dayI can call you and sayI'm a step on the way back to you
Sometimes I find myself searchingAs I walk the streets all aloneI'm searching the faces for someoneSomeone to take me back homeBack home
Yes I used to walk the highwire every nightYes I used to walk the tightropeBut it got too tightI walked the straight and narrow lineMy head was spinning roundI worked without a safety netBut it was such a long way down
Yes I used to walk the highwire every nightYes I used to walk the tightropeBut you need a head for heightsI walked the straight and narrow ropeMy head was spinning roundI worked without a safety netBut it was such a long way down
Oh you might have seen usIf we came to your townThis game's made for heroesAnd clownsNot thinking about tomorrowLiving for todayI never left a note sayingI'm going away
Yes I used to walk the highwire every nightYes I used to walk the tightropeBut it got too tightI walked the straight and narrow lineMy head was spinning roundI worked without a safety netBut it was such a long way down
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhhhhhh
Yes I used to walk the highwire every nightYes I used to walk the tightropeBut it got too tightI walked the straight and narrow lineMy head was spinning roundI worked without a safety netBut it was such a long way down
I took a walk
Down by the prison wall
I didn't know
I couldn't see
The side of the wall
I needed to be
Looked at the sky
Looked at the clouds
Still rolling by
Worshiped the sun
Giving it's life
To everyone
Yeah...I watched the clouds roll by
'Cos we are all equal underneath the sun
That's the way...
That's the way of the world
The way of the world
That's the way...
That's the way of the world
I took a ride
Over the ocean wide
I didn't know
I couldn't see
Who I could trust
Or who trusted me
I travelled the earth
Trying to find
The good and the kind
I had to choose
If I should win
Or if I should lose
Yeah...I had to choose the way
'Cos we are all equal underneath the sun
That's the way...
That's the way of the world
The way of the world
That's the way...
That's the way of the world
The way of the world
That's the way...
They came from nowhere, with nowhere else to go
They came with nothing but pockets full of dreams
They came in hope, looking for the promised land
They brought their faith, believing in their hearts
They brought their children, searching for a new start
They came looking for the promised land
And all the rumours said it was heaven there
And all the signs were pointing to a new world
Someway somehow there's got to be...a place for us,
Somewhere...there's got to be
A better way, a new beginning, a second chance
...it's all in the new world
Equality, liberty, freedom
...it's all in the new world
A better life, a brighter future, the right to believe
...it's all in the new world
For you and me, it's going to be...freedom
...it's all in the new world
Through the ages, all through history
They braved the deserts, sailed the raging sea
And left their homes, looking for the promised land
They brought their culture, pride and prejudice
All they wanted was a reason to exist
And still they come, looking for the promised land
And all the rumours said it was heaven there
And all the signs were pointing to a new world
Someway somehow there's got to be...a place for us
Somewhere...there's got to be
A better way, a new beginning, a second chance
...it's all in the new world
Equality, liberty, freedom
...it's all in the new world
A better life, a brighter future, the right to believe
...it's all in the new world
For you and me, it's going to be...freedom
Sometimes when I'm dreamin'And I'm far away from homeI kind of get the feelin' that I'm never quite aloneSee I just can't help but think about you baby
Time is of the essenceAnd the candle's burning lowRemind me to rememberThat there's not so far to goI just can't help but think about you baby
The places that I've been toTrying to see them through her eyesLike the picture from the childhoodThat I thought I'd left behindSee I just can't help but think about you baby
The sunrise in the morning and the glory that was oursIs captured in a momentMaking love among the starsI just can't help but think about you baby
A long way we have travelledJust to see your name in lightsWe're writing you this letter'Cos we're with you tonightYour Mama misses you soAnd your Papa wants you to knowThat babeWe want you to have your sayWe don't want to stand in your way

But call us and sayWhen you're passing this wayAnd let us still know that you careClean sheets on the bed in your roomAnd a place at the table and in our hearts
Every night is a first night for someoneSomeone's making their debutOn starry eyes the curtain will rise

Little brother's got a habit
That he thinks he's getting under control
And he's selling all our love
And best wishes as the hunger grows
Living by the scripture on the subway walls
He wants to be a rebel but he can't find a cause
He needs something to believe in
He needs something to believe in
All he ever wanted was to get away
Little sister's getting serious
With a fella nearly twice her age
And she's aiming to move in with him
As soon as they can find a place
There's no getting through to her - there's no other way
You can't learn from mistakes that somebody else made
She needs something to believe in
She needs something to believe in
All she ever wanted was to get away
Caught in the void of no hope and no choice
It's a nobody win situation
What can they do it's a catch 22
It's a breakdown in communication
Mum and Dad are so confused
Little wonder they don't understand
Little wonder there's a wind of change
Blowing through this land
Nobody's guilty - it's a sign of the times
But we won't see the future till we open our eyes
We need something to believe in
We need something to believe in
We need something to believe in
We need something to believe in
This time I'm not gonna go so crazy
I'm not gonna let it faze me
I'm building my resistance
Bound to keep my distance
Slowly, determined to take it slowly
Refusing to let it throw me
Feeling every feeling
Staring at the ceiling
And if it's real, a heart will know
All the time
And come the spring, it will grow
Or die upon the vine
But if it's love, love will come
Knocking at my door
I do believe it now
Sometimes less is more
This time I'm not going to stoke the fire
I'm not gonna walk the wire
Oh heart you've learned your lesson
Love is not obsession
Easy, I swear that I'll take it easy
And passion you won't deceive me
I'll hear the music playing
Hear the songbird saying
That if it's real, a heart will know
All the time
And come the spring, it will grow
Or die upon the vine
And when it's love, love will come
Knocking at my door
I do believe it now
Sometimes less is more
And if it's real, I will know
Know this time
And come the spring, it will grow
Or die upon the vine
And if it's love, love will come
Knocking at my door
I do believe it now
When the tears in your eyes start to show,
Clear your mind, spend some time,Skimming stones...
When you're a long way from home,
Just take a moment, I know...
And calm yourself and let your spirit free
Count how many times,
See how far,
Cast your loneliness out in to the stars...
One day we'll find ourselves free,
And you will stand next to me,
I can understandThe rain that fallsWaves that crash upon the shoreAnd I know that everyoneMust have freedom todayAnd baby in my dreams I seeI see you walking away
I can understand the moon and stars (understand moon and stars)Wonders of this world of ours (wondrous world of ours)And I see the fire of lifeBurning brighter each dayAnd baby in my dreams I seeI see you walking away (walking away)So far away (so far away)I see you walking away (walking away)
So fly, my silverbird (fly silverbird)You know that IAm waiting for youAnd everywhere you goI'm with you still (fly silverbird)I know you willReturn somedayAnd through the rain and the snow (and the snow)When there's nowhere left to goI hope you'll stayOh darling, now I understandAnd I'm home to stay
When I close my eyes, I see you there (close my eyes, see you there)In everyone and everywhere (everyone, everywhere)And I feel the power of loveLike an ocean todayAnd baby in my dreams I seeI see you walking away (walking away)So far away (so far away)I see you walking away (walking away)
So fly, my silverbird (fly silverbird)You know that IAm waiting for youAnd everywhere you goI'm with you still (fly silverbird)I know you willReturn somedayAnd through the rain and the snow (and the snow)When there's nowhere left to goI hope you'll stayOh darling, now I understandAnd I'm home to stay
So fly, my silverbird (fly silverbird)You know that IAm waiting for youAnd everywhere you goI'm with you still (fly silverbird)I know you willReturn somedayAnd through the rain and the snow (and the snow)When there's nowhere left to goI hope you'll stayOh darling, now I understandAnd I'm home to stay

Everywhere I go I see our shame
Everywhere I go all I can see is pain
I see it on the pavements it's lying on the street
I see it on the faces of the people I don't meet
Everywhere I go I hear the sound
Crying in my head it just goes round and round
I hear it on the airwaves, it's coming down the wire
It's starting to consume us like a fire
But I'm only dreaming, as you can see
I don't expect that you should follow me
The road is lonely, I don't complain
It's such a shame
Everywhere I go I feel the love
Washing over me, I just can't get enough
I hear it in the music, that's coming down through me
I know there's love between us, if we only set it free
Everywhere I go I feel the joy
Hold it in your heart, don't let it be destroyed
'Cos all we need is freedom, all we ask is peace
All we ask is no one on their knees
But I'm only dreaming, as you can see
I don't expect that you should follow me
The road is lonely, I don't complain
It's such a shame
'Cos all we need is freedom, all we ask is peace
All we ask is no one on their knees
But I'm only dreaming, as you can see
I don't expect that you should follow me
The road is lonely, I don't complain
Standing in the moonlightI saw you standing in the moonlightWith your hair a-shining blue, II shivered in the midnight airHe was in the shadowsHe was hiding in the shadowsWhy he looked so dark and cold and lonelyOnly Heaven knows
Oh PenumbraJust like that moonSome of it black, some of it brightSome of it blue
Oh PenumbraI'm just like youFeeling so shyHiding behind somebody tooOh I'm just like you
If I could have one wishI'd take you on a starshipBut I wouldn't know what to do withAll the love I have for youThere's nothing much between usNo there's nothing much between usEven Mercury and VenusThey couldn't take me far from you
Oh PenumbraJust like that moonSome of it black, some of it brightSome of it blue
Oh PenumbraI'm just like youFeeling so shyHiding behind somebody tooOh I'm just like you
One lonely roomNobody thereNobody sitsIn one lonely chairI know the feelingFor the first time in my life
Oh I shouldI should have knownBetterOh I shouldI should have knownI should have known better
One lonely roomNo footsteps on the floorNobody needsTo answer the doorI know the feelingFor the first time in my life
Oh I shouldI should have knownI should have known betterOh I shouldI should have knownBetter
You took the wind right out of my sailsYou took my train right off the railsYou left a car that had no wheelsYou left some shoes that had no heelsYou took the wind right out of my sailsYou took my train right off the rails
Oh oh oh
One lonely roomNobody thereNobody sitsIn one lonely chairI know the feelingFor the first time in my life
Oh I shouldOh yes I should have knownI should have known betterOh I shouldI should have knownBetter
You took the wind right out of my sailsYou took my train right off the railsYou left a car that had no wheelsYou left some shoes that had no heelsYou took the wind right out of my sailsYou took my train right off the rails

ust like you I'm searchingAlways looking past horizonsNot every time I'm findingWhat I want to lay my eyes onI'm not always knowingWhat I like to knowBut here I am a-sittin'With our favorite music on the radio
Sometimes I smile at what I'm touchingJust because it's there for me to feelYou know it doesn't really matterIf it's in my dreamsOr really real
I'm not always getting what I like to getBut if I keep on moving that's enough to get me set'Cos everybody's wearing out their tongues just talkingI think they got nothing much better to doThey say you're looking for love and allSomebody strong and dark and tallOr maybe it's just love that's a-lookin' for you
Just like you I'm searchingAlways looking past horizonsNot every time I'm findingWhat I wish to lay my eyes onI'm not always knowingWhat I like to knowBut here I am a-sittin'With our favorite music on the radio
'Cos everybody's wearing out their tongues just talkingI think they got nothing much better to doThey say you're looking for love and allSomebody strong and dark and tallBut maybe it's just love that's a-lookin' for you
I was lostI was wandering in the darkI was searching for the sparkThat would light my lifeI was lostI didn't know where I was fromI was always on the runTryin' to find myselfI was out on my ownThen you brought me back homeI was lostBut now I'm foundI'm so glad that you're aroundTo shelter me
I was lostI didn't know the words to sayI just couldn't find a wayTo express myselfI was blindI just couldn't read my mindI didn't know what I would findWhen I met myselfI was out on my ownThen you brought me back homeI was lostBut now I'm foundI thank God that you're aroundTo shelter me
I love the way you tell meThat you love me, yes I doAnd I love the way you ask meIf I love you, yes I do
I get a yearning when the sun goes downTo hold your body close to mineI get a feeling to come round your houseAnd light the fire and drink some wineI'll keep you safe and warm and free from harmIt's understoodOh darlin'Take your worries and lay them on me
And if you need me on a Friday nightI'll stay the whole weekend and tryWe'll solve your problem if it takes all nightI'll even sing a lullabyI'll keep you safe and warm and free from harmIt's understoodOh darlin'I'm whatever you want me to beOh darlin'Take your worries and lay them on me
You say to me - why can't it be
Just like it was once before
Well you lead the way and I'll find the tree
You catch the leaves as they fall
Don't you know that it's not too late - the time's not past
Don't you know it's not too late
And even though I tell myself - all is lost
Somewhere there's a spark of hope
Somehow the world keeps turning
Promising a better day
Somewhere the spark is burning - away
If we were free - to do as we please
What would we change - you and I
To hold back the night - to do what is right
To live under bright blue blue sky
Don't you know that it's not too late - the time's not past
Don't you know it's not too late
And even though I tell myself - all is lost
But somewhere there's a spark of hope
Somehow the world keeps turning
Promising a better day
Somewhere the spark is burning - away
As we look to the horizon
Way out on the sea
We see the sun still rising
Just for you and me
When we were young - life was so strange
So complicated we would cry
But when we grow old
Will mystery hold us both in its spell as time goes by
The world is a lonely placeBut I soon found outThat love was the saving graceI know that once in a thousand yearsThere will come a timeWhen joy will replace our fearsAnd you and IWill fly away togetherIs it just a gameThat we're playing now?Were we born to win, can we lose somehow?Does it all come down to what we've done before?Is it truth and love that we're searching for?
The world is a lonely placeAnd the rain that fallsLike tears running down your faceI know that once I can feelThe sun shining down on meI'll run to your warm embraceAnd you and IWill fly away togetherIs it just a gameThat we're playing now?Were we born to win?Can we lose somehow?Does it all come downTo what we've done before?Is it peace and loveThat we're searching for?
The world is a lonely place
Is it just a gameThat we're playing now?Were we born to win?Can we lose somehow?Does it all come downTo what we've done before?Is it peace and loveThat we're searching for?

The summer sun is fading as the year grows old,
and darker days are drawing near,
the winter winds will be much colder,
now you're not here.
I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
and one by one they disappear
I wish that I was flying with them,
now you're not here
like the sun through the trees you came to love me
like a leaf on a breeze you blew away
through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
you always loved this time of year
loose fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
cos you're not here x 3
like the sun through the trees you came to love me
like a leaf on a breeze you blew away
a gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
as if to hide a lonely tear
my life will be forever autumn

Billy left home one morning, he walked right out the door
He said goodbye to his former life, and he never came back no more
Oh Billy...there's anger in your heart
Oh Billy...there's madness in your eyes
He took his favourite handgun, with his rifle he felt free
He cleaned them all the night before, he was armed as he could be
Oh Billy...there's anger in your heart
Oh Billy...there's sadness in your eyes
'Cos it's a sad world, where there's no one
Who can reach out, to the source of your pain
Yes it's a sad world, such a sad sad world
When only peace comes, at the end of a gun
Whoa...oh
He found the tallest building, like a bird's nest in the sky
He shed a tear as he took his aim, at the people passing by
Oh Billy...there's anger in your heart
Oh Billy...there's sadness in your eyes
Well it's a sad world, where there's no one
Who can reach out, to the source of your pain
Yes it's a sad world, such a sad sad world
When only peace comes, at the end of a gun
Whoa...oh
Before he pulled the trigger, he knelt as if to pray
And at the top of the church he will never be found
Since he took his life that day
Oh Billy...there's anger in your heart
Ah Billy...there's sadness in your eyes
'Cos it's a sad world, where there's no one
Who can reach out, to the source of your pain
Yes it's a sad world, such a sad sad world
When only peace comes, at the end of a gun
Yes it's a sad world, when there's no one
Who can hold you when you just need to cry
And it's a sad sad world when there's no one
Who would care if, if you live or you die
And it's a sad world, such a sad sad world
Where did we go wrongWe had all the magic to put us on our wayAnd all the tragedy that we ever want to seeBut you know I'm rightWhen I say the best is yet to come
Where did we go wrongWas it so enlightening we couldn't find our way?All so frighteningWe couldn't see which move to makeBut you know I'm rightWhen I say the best is yet to come
And if you leave me nowLike you say you mightOh please don't leave me now'Cause I know, if you doNone of this will come true so
Where do we go nowNow your heart is achingAnd leading you astrayMe I'm burning upTryin' to get you to stay'Cause you know I'm rightWhen I say the best is yet to comeAnd you know the best is still to come
And if you leave me nowLike you say you mightOh please don't leave me now'Cause I know, if you doNone of this will come true, so
The summer sun is fading as the year grows old,
and darker days are drawing near,
the winter winds will be much colder,
now you're not here.
I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
and one by one they disappear
I wish that I was flying with them,
now you're not here
like the sun through the trees you came to love me
like a leaf on a breeze you blew away
through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
you always loved this time of year
loose fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
cos you're not here x 3
like the sun through the trees you came to love me
like a leaf on a breeze you blew away
a gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
as if to hide a lonely tear
my life will be forever autumn
The harder I try seems the further I fall
The deeper my love seems to be
And I know that I never doubted at all
That someone was waiting for me
Then out of the blue, it was over
And how did you think I would survive
'Cause it's cold outside
Yes, it's cold outside of your heart
Yes, it's cold outside
Yes, it's cold outside of your heart
I never thought it could happen to me
Like the one that gets you That you just don't see
And now I don't want to be free
I thought it was always to be
That someone was waiting for me
The longer the shadows become in my life
The colder the breeze seems to be
The days roll on by, still I can't quite believe
That someone's not waiting for me
The flame of desire is still burning
The warmth of your body close to mine
'Cause it's cold outside
Yes, it's cold outside of your heart
Yes, it's cold outside
Yes, it's cold outside of your heart
It's a big world to face all alone
And I'm begging you now Just to come on home
'Cause I, I don't want to be free
I thought it was always to be
That someone was waiting for me
You know that it's you that I need
You see, I refuse to believe
Tuesday afternoon
I'm just beginning to see
Now I'm on my way
It doesn't matter to me
Chasing the clouds away
Something calls to me
The trees are drawing me near
I've got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear
Explain it all with a sigh
I'm looking at myself
Reflections of my mind
It's just the kind of day
To leave myself behind
So gently swaying
Through the fairy-land of love
If you'll just come with me
And see the beauty of
Tuesday afternoon
Tuesday afternoon
Tuesday, afternoon
I'm just beginning to see
Now I'm on my way
It doesn't matter to me
Chasing the clouds away
Something calls to me
The trees are drawing me near
I've got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear
Sometimes I find myself searching
As I walk the streets all alone
Searching the faces for someone
Someone to take me back home, back home
Who knows where the future leads us
The waters are wide, the road is long
I pray for a hand to guide us
And welcome us back where we belong
So many miles come between us
And fate seems to keep us apart
Fortune once brought us together
Is there a still a place in your heart, in your heart
Someday when my journey's over
I'll come stumbling back to you, my love
And I know when the circle's broken
I'll come tumbling back to you, my love
But I long for the day
I can call you and say
I'm a step on the way back to you
Sometimes I find myself searching
As I walk the streets all alone
I'm searching the faces for someone
Someone to take me back home
Back home
Who knows what the morning brings us
The moment of truth, the power of love
I know where the future leads me
(x2)
Somewhere, somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
(I know you're out there)
(I know you're out there)
(I know you're out there)
(x2)
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
(My voice, my voice, my voice...)
Somewhere you can hear my voice
(My voice, my voice, my voice...)
Somewhere, somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
(x2)
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
(My voice, my voice, my voice...)
Somewhere you can hear my voice
(Verse)
In the beginning there was love around our lives
In the beginning there was you
Then we found out that to get you've gotta give
And our worlds collided into blue
But I want you
I still want you
(Verse)
As we got stronger we went our separate ways
That's what we needed and we craved
Time has no mercy, when our days went blue to gray
Still a journey come what may
But I want you
I still want you
(Bridge)
Every day finds us searching
For the right words to say
Every night we're still giving
Our love away
(Verse)
In the beginning, there was beauty, there was pain
In the beginning we were free
Now we're surrounded by the castles that remained
These fortress walls are all we see
But I want you
I still want you
I want you
We skipped the light fandango
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
but the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
as the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
the waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
as the miller told his tale
that her face, at first just ghostly,
turned a whiter shade of pale
She said, 'There is no reason
and the truth is plain to see.'
But I wandered through my playing cards
and would not let her be
one of sixteen vestal virgins
who were leaving for the coast
and although my eyes were open
they might have just as well've been closed
She said, 'I'm home on shore leave,'
though in truth we were at sea
so I took her by the looking glass
and forced her to agree
saying, 'You must be the mermaid
who took Neptune for a ride.'
But she smiled at me so sadly
that my anger straightway died
If music be the food of love
then laughter is its queen
and likewise if behind is in front
then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
Learning the game
Learning the game
Hearts that are broken and love that's untrue
These go with learning the game
When you love her and she doesn't love you
You're only learning the game
When she says that you're the only one she'll ever love
Then you find that you are not the one she's thinking of
Feeling so sad and you're all alone and blue
That's when you're learning the game
Hearts that are broken and love that's untrue
These go with learning the game
When you love her and she doesn't love you
You're only learning the game
When she says that you're the only one she'll ever love
Then you find that you are not the one she's thinking of
Feeling so sad and you're all alone and blue
That's when you're learning the game
The ghosts of the past have always haunted me
All of these years down this long road
There, at my side, my fellow travellers
What it all means nobody knows
‘Cause what you resist persists
I just let it go, let it flow
And all I can do is this
What you resist…
Persists
The days of our youth may be behind us now
Our guitars ever green, forever blue
When we will say what are you working for?
Well me, I’m still paying my dues
‘Cause what you resist persists
I just let it go, let it flow
And all you can do is this
But what you resist…
Persists
I’m so glad that I walked this road with you
Into the light, it’s a beautiful sight
Feel the love every night
Coming through
I knew right away that it was meant to be
I knew it was you right from the start
With the weight of the world and all its broken dreams
My friend tried to follow your heart
‘Cause what you resist persists
Just let it go, let it flow
When all you can do is this
What you resist…
Persists
I just let it go, let it flow
All we can do is this
What you resist…
Isn't it a strange world?
With you and me
Gazing at each other
Through a misty scene of a part of me
(Verse)
Dreaming of the green hills
But we could fly
Listening to the night bird
That made us cry with its lullaby
(Chorus 1)
But we'll overcome
And stand on the heights
And we'll be together
In our dreams
(Verse)
As we look around us
The world goes on
We're strangers in a strange land
Tryna find where we don't belong
(Verse)
Shadows in the darkness
Just passing through
(Just passing through)
Now that I have found you
I realize what I got to do
(I realize what I got to do)
(Chorus 2 x2)
But we'll overcome
And stand on the heights
And we'll be together
In the end
(Verse)
Out on the horizon
The west wind sighs
(The west wind sighs)
A beautiful adventure
Waiting there in the western sky
(Waiting there in the western sky)
(Verse)
Bring me some redemption
Take me home
(Take me home)
Take me where my heart lies
Now I know that I'm not alone
(Chorus 1)
But we'll overcome
And stand on the heights
And we'll be together
In our dreams
In the end
In our dreams
(In our dreams, in the end)
(In our dreams)
In the end
Little brother's got a habit that he thinks, he's gettin' under control
And he's sellin' all our love and best wishes as the hunger grows
Living by the scripture on the subway walls
He wants to be a rebel but he can't find a cause
He needs something to believe in
He needs something to believe in
All he ever wanted was to get away
Little sister's gettin' serious with a fella nearly twice her age
And she's aiming to move in with him as soon as they can find a place
There's no gettin' through to her, there's no other way
You can't learn from mistakes that somebody else made
She needs something to believe in
She needs something to believe in
All she ever wanted was to get away
Caught in the void of no hope and no choice
It's a nobody win situation
What can they do, it's a catch twentytwo
It's a breakdown in communication
Mum and dad are so confused little wonder they don't understand
Little wonder, there's a wind of change blowing through this land
Nobody's guilty, it's a sign of the times
But we won't see the future till we open our eyes
Something to believe in we need something to believe in
Something to believe in we need something to believe in
This time I'm not gonna go so crazy
I'm not gonna let it faze me
I'm building my resistance
Bound to keep my distance
Slowly, determined to take it slowly
Refusing to let it throw me
Feeling every feeling
Staring at the ceiling
And if it's real, a heart will know
All the time
And come the spring, it will grow
Or die upon the vine
But if it's love, love will come
Knocking at my door
I do believe it now
Sometimes less is more
This time I'm not going to stoke the fire
I'm not going to walk the wire
Oh heart you've learned your lesson
Love is not obsession
Easy, I swear that I'll take it easy
And passion you won't deceive me
I'll hear the music playing
Hear the songbird saying
That if it's real, a heart will know
All the time
And come the spring, it will grow
Or die upon the vine
And when it's love, love will come
Knocking at my door
I do believe it now
Sometimes less is more
And if it's real, I will know
Know this time
And come the spring, it will grow
Or die upon the vine
And if it's love, love will come
Knocking at my door
I do believe it now
