The sky collapsed around us, You didn't seem to care
I hailed you through the raindrops, You weren't even there. I juggle with the breakfast, You fret behind the sheets I want you to be steadfast, You want to be released. CHORUS: Oh my pretty darling, Where did we go astray Oh my pretty darling, I thought you'd come to stay. We're all dollied up for the circus, Oh isn't it grand We're laughing, jumping and kissing, We're beating the band. I've got no more smiles to win you, No tricks to turn your head When love cannot continue, There's not much to be said. CHORUS It's all cut and thrust at the circus, And maybe makes three You're twisting my words into serpents, I'm down on my knees. Oh my pretty darling, I thought you'd come to stay I thought you'd come to stay, I thought you'd come to stay. |

Something about this is precious, Something about this is sad
Something about this is better, Than I've ever had Hard and lean, You know what I mean? How do the roots become tangled? Why does the spirit grow tired? Where is the key to your kingdom? Yes that's my desire. CHORUS: There are those who live to count the cost And then those who count themselves content I see heaven wrapped up in a box It is you come back to love again, In a dream, This living dream. Up in a heap I'm not bothered, Down in the dumps I'm okay Here in my heart you're the best road, That I'll ever take, I'm serene yeh. CHORUS: There are those who live to take the chance And then more who find themselves content I see heaven mapped out in advance It is you and that's my journeys end, In a dream, This living dream. I'm trying to hang on to the essence, I'm feeling more faint by the day It took such a long time to get it, I don't want to see it erased CHORUS: There are those who live to count the cost And then more who count themselves content I see heaven wrapped up in a box It is you come back to love again, In a dream, This living dream This living dream. |

This child he means the world to me, There is no more enchanted
A child can take this place of ruin, And magically enhance it. I see him in a golden room, With the book of life before him Strange instruments upon his charts, And the crystal glow inside him. He's your Wonder Child, And my dreams come true You've searched all your life, I see him now flying over the universe. This child will build a violin, One will follow the traveller's love Another will the bow apply, To reach the one above. I see her in a golden room, With the moon and stars above her Her simple smile is Heaven's gate, With the Queen of all beside her. She's your Wonder Child, And my dreams come true You've searched all your life, I see her now flying over the universe. Your Wonder Child, And my dreams come true You've searched all your life, I see them now flying over the universe. |

Looking back
Down that long road you have travelled And I see All the pain that you have suffered A young girl walks on ancient sand Desert flower in her hand Barefoot on the red heartland Innocence makes few demands Heart and soul My soul sister Got that special part of me Such sweet love And deep devotion Who would tame what's wild and free? Here we are In this crazy, crazy world Circumstance Can lead you on to desperation Love can save the weary heart Or it can tear us all apart I would rather take that chance Than to never trust again Heart and soul My soul sister Got that special part of me Such sweet love and deep devotion Who would tame what's wild and free? Looking forward Down that long road we might travel And I see All the joy that is recovered See the young boy by the river side He throws a stick to the other side It carries with the rising tide Sometimes we might reach too high Heart and soul My soul sister Got that special part of me Such sweet love and deep devotion Who would tame what's wild and free? Loving heart so wild and free Who could chance what's wild and free? |

I used to think joy, was the break between sorrow,
Like peace was the break between wars, I'm still partly new now, but mostly older, And I can not say I'm so sure. CHORUS I never trusted happiness, as far as I could throw it, Always preparing for the worst, 'cause I would know it, All of that hammering in the dark, like a new Noah working on his ark, On his ark. I may look back at today and feel foolish, My old view was right all along, I will rush in, where no angels are walking, And fight for the right to be wrong. CHORUS 'Cause I never trusted happiness, as far as I could throw it, Always preparing for the worst, 'cause I would know it, of that hammering in the dark, like a new Noah working on his ark, On his ark. Between my potential and the deep blue sea, There's a rock and a diamond either side of me, Between our potential and the break of day, There is nothing at all in our way, Nothing in our way. |

CHORUS
With your dark hair in the Donegal breeze, Bringing me softly and sweetly to the ground, But, there's madness in the sycamore trees, And there's no salvation to be found. Right now the only thing that my mind ever holds, Are long dark silences or screaming that explodes, Burning rocking beds with visions of a land, Long dark tunnels, questions and calm, But, with you, you know I have no doubts, And fear will have no sting, With your brilliant eyes and your lost and broken wing, My head upon your shoulder as you take me in your arms, Continents will crumble, we will find no harm. CHORUS With your dark hair in the Donegal breeze, Bringing me softly and sweetly to the ground, But, there's madness in the sycamore trees, And there's no salvation to be found. Well I'll brace myself against the dark, endeavour to go on, No matter how long it takes, and even though I might be wrong, And I will ask a little favour of whatever God I find, And I will come back for you darling, when I find some peace of mind. Well I don't know about tomorrow, it will be here and gone, I don't know about tonight, it'll be too long, Sometimes I think I'm dying, and I don't care how, All I know is that I want you, and I want you here and now. CHORUS With your dark hair in the Donegal breeze, Bringing me softly and sweetly to the ground, But, there's madness in the sycamore trees, And there's no salvation to be found. |

Phone calls and taxi-rides
And somebody's leaving Misunderstandings get out of control And the right words get left And the wrong words get spoken He's gone but not your pride Chorus Not much can help The full heart that's breaking Can't find the words And you can't hide the feelings And it's down to the bone To the heart of the matter You're free free as stone Look at you now You're the picture of sorrow Head in your hands Like a scene from a movie And all of the things That seemed so important Are leaves and are blowing away Chorus Nothing can help The full heart that's breaking You can't find the words And you can't hide the feelings And it's down to the bone To the heart of the matter You're free free as stone Walk through this town On a cold Sunday morning Soldiers in uniforms Guns in their hands The world all caught up With barbed wire fences I'm free I'm free as stone Chorus Oh nothing can help The full heart that's breaking Won't find the words And you can't hide the feelings And it's down to bone To the heart of the matter You're free free as stone You're free free as stone |

I never cared about the car I'd drive
Or the room I'd sleep or the bus I'd ride Just as long as I could get somewhere And not get hurt I could breathe out there I knew I could be free out there ... could be me I never cared about the word prestige About no inside track or no noblesse oblige Just as long as I could pay my way And pull my weight and say my say As long as I could pay my way ... I could say Bridge I never had no plans just dreams and vague directions I would not make my stand I the house of corrections Now I can see at last I see that everything is changing And if you want to hold on fast the future needs arranging Chorus Now I'm looking forward to you Now I'm looking forward to you My former view was backward My backward view as blue Now I'm looking forward to you Love had a weight designed to bring me down My hands would sweat and my heart would pound Now I've learned it and I've turned around And I hanker for that anchor sound I hanker for that anchor sound Once designed to bring me down Repeart Bridge & Chorus |

Chorus
Gabriel Gabriel Open you heart and mine as well Oh Gabriel Gabriel Save this heart from hell Heaven knows I love you And heaven knows how true I'd be for you People have their failings And I know that I've got mine I know I've been ungrateful I know I've been unkind Chorus Gabriel Gabriel Open you heart and mine as well Oh come on Gabriel Gabriel Save this heart from hell Down into the valleys And out across the sea Our dreams go Caught up in a loving So much stronger than we knew That could tear our world apart Or with some fate just pull us through Chorus Gabriel oh Gabriel Open you heart and mine as well Gabriel Gabriel Save this heart from hell Time will wait for no one And time will take it's toll And we'll grow old Weary from the fighting Worn out from a war Where no one can surrender Or wants to fight anymore Chorus Gabriel Gabriel Open you heart and mine as well Gabriel Gabriel Save this heart from hell Gabriel Gabriel Open you heart and mine as well Oh Gabriel Gabriel This heart's in hell Repeat |

I'm the latest apparition
Cutting slices in the night I come through without permission Moving in and out of human sight I'm the tapping on your shoulder I am the raving in the storm I'll take shelter in you rafters I'm the shiver when you're warm I'm the gold in California I am the well in Mexico Like the vultures in the valley I will wait for you to go I'm the gypsy in you pocket I am the horseman in your dreams I'm the reason dogs are barking I am the hand that stops the scream I am the baby's cry that isn't I am the distant relative I'm the scratching in the ceiling I am advice you shouldn't give I'm the ghost of a travelling salesman My foot will be there in your door Though I can walk through walls and windows I will knock just like before I am the darkness in your daughter I am the spot beneath the skin I am the scarlet on the pavement I am the broken heart within I won't take a train to nowhere I will not touch just anyone Ask a stranger why I'm waiting In the chamber of a gun |
