Early morning,
It's cold and the sun is white For I was born in The darkness before the light Of a new day A new way of living Of giving delight And if you pay Then you may be slipping Back into the night Then all knowing With words and with pen I write Of the growing Of things that are in my sight Early evening It's cold and the moon is bright And I believe in The darkness before the light Of a new day |

I am walking in a dream
Everything I touch it isn't real People aren't just what they seem And I really don't know what to feel Mr. Sunshine's not for me I don't mind the sky of blue Or the honey clouds that wander by When that orange thing comes through I must look away or think I'll die Mr. Sunshine's not for me Blacker days I'll never see And I curse your light a hundred times When you shine your rays on me I must hide my head or lose my mind Mr. Sunshine's not for me My old man says I am mad Said that things were saner in his day But I didn't listen, Dad All the words you said I threw away Mr. Sunshine's not for me Mr. Sunshine's not for me |

And with the rain
Soft pools of blue White mist like love When you glow so new Must warm to you Just like the snow Falling anew When it's soaked through The snowdrops so few Must warm to you Take my hand, my love Come talk to me Tell me of your walk Through leaves of green Where life was free Tell me of rain In soft pools of blue How white mist like love When you glow so new Must warm to you Tell me of snow Falling anew How when it's soaked through The snowdrops so few Must warm to the love of your heart Warm to the love of your heart And warm to you Take my hand, my love Come talk to me Tell me of your walk Through leaves of green Where life was free |

I can't go on without you
There's a part of me that's gone Like a day without the sun I can't go on without you There is nothing I can do And no words that I can say All the meanings slip away I can't go on without you I used to think you loved me so Now you have gone and love's no more I can't go on without you Though I must try to live again But my tears fall like the rain I can't go on without you I can't go on without you There's a part of me that's gone Like a day without the sun I can't go on without you Like a day without the sun I can't go on without you |

Brother Thrush, how you fly so high
Way up in the clouds The trees resound with open arms For one so rare Brother Man just can't compare When we're sitting on the banks of the sunshine We hear your song High above the living Brother gull, see him soar the sky He's so pleased to be Buoyant and triumphant On the raging sea Backing nature, feeling free Loving nature, rest your head Hear the message, man is dead See the cities fall While Brother Bird still.... flies! Brother Lark, see him wake the day See him fly on by Above the streets now empty To his mournful cry Brother Man just heaves a sigh When we're sitting on the banks of the sunshine We hear your song High above the living Yes, we hear your song... |

And with the dawn she changes
Her voice in different ranges The torn and tattered pages Of all I've done, poor wages Satisfied I've never lied Say goodbye I couldn't try Destroy her cards and letters Act like I've never met her Hardest of all, forget her Until my heart is better Satisfied I've never lied Say goodbye I couldn't try |

When the world was woken
Save all unknowing eyes And thoughts that once were spoken Left only to despise And when the dawn is breaking Look upward to the sky If life is so hard to live Why not die? When the world has woken And shadows leave the air Then each spell will be broken For everyone who cares The day will then be endless The night will soon pass by If life is so hard to live Why not die? When the world has woken For all who see the sun And gentle words are spoken The dawning has begun Then man can live together With one triumphant cry If life is so hard to live Why not die? |

She walks on through the night
Her circumstances slight Are only helping her to fail And though she feels she's right She tries with all her might And makes the deepest peril pale Oh, but she is unreal Oh, but she doesn't feel Oh, but she is unreal She chooses who to love And then unlike a dove She takes the laughter from their smile She wears a velvet glove Her friends may find it rough It is a gauntlet all the while Oh, but she is unreal Oh, but she doesn't feel Oh, but she is unreal |

Don't ask me how I know
But this dark sky will soon be blue Don't ask, no don't ask Just watch as the grey mists of winter fall Like so many drops of dew Feel the ice melt to warm tears in my eyes Uner the light of a tin sun Do not ask me how I know The effect of light on unseeing eyes How should I know? How could I know? Dark now my sky The sea of peace has left my shore No birds sing The silent spring will overflow Oh you'll never know I love you so You'll always be A part of me Dark now my eyes The sea of peace has met the sky No birds sing And like the Spring life whispers by Oh you'll never know I love you so You'll always be A part of me Dark now my sky The winds of time have swept my shore No birds fly The trees that fall will rise no more Oh you'll never know I love you so You'll always be A part of me |

She said, "Why don't you
Come and stay with me Far away from people we know? We could live our lives together Happiness wherever we go" And I will always love her And I will always care And I will always love her Wasn't long before she grew tired of me And the life she thought would redeem All the love she'd thrown away as a child All the things she thought she had seen And I will always love her And I will always care And I will always love her - instrumental break - And I will always love her And I will always care And I will always love her |

Two of them watched in the dawn's early light
And two of them died in the morning Search not your soul if you want to be right But two of them died in the morning It's not for you we cry No, not for those who die It is only for their sons Forget the lives of others who are gone Two and by two in the dawn's early light All went to die in the morning Search not your souls for the truth and the right For all went to die in the morning light It's not for you we cry No, not for those who die It is only for their sons Forget the lives of others who are gone It's not for you we cry No, not for those who die It is only for their sons Forget the lives of others who are gone Forget the lives of others who are gone Forget the lives of others Forget your wives and mothers Forget the lives of others who are gone |

She comes up with the morning sun
And tells me life has just begun Oh what it is to be young And in the early evening light She brings me flowers from the sun Oh what it is to be young And if you see her you will know She's like a shadow Falling softly on the snow And in the early evening light She brings me flowers for the night Oh what it is to be young |

Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds and sky
Hush now baby, don't you cry There's a mocking bird Singing songs in the trees There's a mocking bird Singing songs Just for you and me Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds and sky Time will see your tears run dry There's a mocking bird Singing songs in the trees There's a mocking bird Singing songs Just for you and me Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds and sun Bless the tears of love now gone There's a mocking bird Singing songs in the trees There's a mocking bird Singing songs Singing just for me... |

Vanessa Simmons, funny kind of name
Young and yet wise, only a child Wake up in the morning, frown across your face I know your name, but not your place Wish I could show you how to live your life But I'm not sure which one of us is right God only knows the tears I've cried Vanessa Simmons, funny kind of name Have you got life wrong, is it just a game? Wake up in the morning, find a friend at night Friends are hard to find, especially at night Wish I could show you how to live your life But I'm not sure which one of us is right God only knows, and He's the one that shows, the tears I've cried And if I asked you for the sun, would you not say "Light's not the only way to be"? And if I asked you for your love, would you not say "Love is not what you want from me"? And would I not be right To sit alone and wonder every night? Vanessa Simmons, funny kind of name Young and yet wise, only a child Wish I could show you how to live your life But I'm not sure which one of us is right God only knows, and He's the one that shows, the tears I've cried |

Looking like something from out of space we came
Nothing much to look at, but did he complain? He didn't mind us being here to live in peace and grace What we're doing to him now could put us back in space We're thinking like some creatures off the ocean floor Losing sight of what we've really come here for Can I be heard above the sounds of prejudice and hate? Take time to look around before it gets too late It's a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But I'm sorry to be leaving it It's a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But I guess I still, I still believe in it It's a happy old world We're tearing up the rivers and a thousand streams And highways, they're in places where they've never been We're building towers in the sky and racing for the sun Oh Lord, any eye can see what harm we've done I need some help to get myself out of this maze We can both just say goodbye and go our separate ways My mind's not on this song I sing, my heart's not in the lines Guess I'll go and kill myself, so would you kindly close the blinds Oh a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But I'm sorry to be leaving it It's a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But I guess, guess I still believe in it It's a happy old world |

If I had my way I would not be here
Not for one day, my leaving is clear I've had my share of heartache and pain For happiness I'm searching in vain I've got to get rid of my ball and chain For all of my life, the times they've been bad And hard luck and strife, they're all I've ever had I've had my share of heartache and pain For happiness I'm searching in vain I've got to get rid of my ball and chain I've just got to be free God in heaven, help me If I had my way I would not, would not be here No, not for one day, my leaving, my leaving is clear I've had my share of heartache and pain For happiness I'm searching in vain I've got to get rid of my ball and chain Help me! I've had my share of heartache and pain For happiness I'm searching in vain I've got to get rid of my ball and CHAIN! |

Didn't anybody see his hand move faster
Than the lightning in his eyes Oh! what a cold surprise the flying horses cried And didn't anybody want to ask the calliope To call the tune The flying horses crooned but did not know The Medicine Man sits on the stage Eats fire and water, earth and air while we all stare The silver blade burns bright And tells us to beware Of mirrored passages that throw a thousand images Of younger days The wheel spins slower as it calls us back to play Round and round now we go Shout your name to the wind As it spins by your side Coloured lights echo as the sound slips on by Could that have been me? |

I once loved a lady who did change into a child
I saw the light of day shine in her eyes I loved her like a baby and I raised her to the sky It seems the light of day did pass me by Now she walks along the seashore And she listens to the sea But I can't say if she ever thinks of me If I were of the ocean Or a wave upon the sand Or just a drop of water in her hand A pebble or a broken shell A rock upon the shore I doubt if I could love her any more Now she walks along the seashore And she listens to the sea And I can't say if she ever thinks of me No I can't say if she ever thinks of me |

I've been looking for a place that I know well
It's a long long way from here and when I get there I will tell, I will tell I've been looking for a time that I once knew I could spend some happy hours just being there with you It doesn't matter where you go As long as there is someone there you know So if you need a friend you can depend on me 'Cause I know what it feels to be alone And in the darkest night you need a light to see Your shadow's sinking low Just like a stone Feels like a broken bone Guess I'll go on home I've been looking for someone I know so well She's a long long way from me and when I find her I will tell her It doesn't matter where she goes As long as there is someone there she knows |

Child of God was born today
The child of woman just slipped away The child of man knelt down to pray And the children of the earth Didn't know it was the day of Creation, creation, creation One thousand years or maybe more Since they first set eyes on that foreign shore The grass was green and the water pure They turned the key and opened the door To a nation, nation, nation Child of God says love your brother Take him by the hand Child of God says love your neighbour Make him understand Child of God says love your sister Take her by the hand Child of God says love your neighbour Make him understand Make him understand All believers gather round Press your faces to the ground Lift your voices to the sound Of all the others who have found Salvation, salvation, salvation Salvation, salvation, salvation Child of God says love your brother Take him by the hand Child of God says love your neighbour Make him understand Child of God says love your sister Take her by the hand Child of God says love your neighbour Make him understand Make him understand Salvation, salvation, salvation Salvation, salvation, salvation Salvation, salvation, salvation Salvation, salvation, salvation |

In the shining sun
My images they run Confusing all I've done before I've begun And every city scene Becomes a roaring stream A nightmare and a dream rolled into one But when the city sleeps I'm up and on my feet Along the darkened streets Hear me run Through the empty town Running, laughing, down No-one else around ? to bother old me By factories I sway My shadows seem to play To do this in the day ? I'd never be free But when the city sleeps I'm up and on my feet Along the darkened streets Hear me run |

I feel sorry for the soldier who is shot and stoned in anger
I feel sorry for his wife and child at home I feel sorry for the bomber who all life and limb dishonours For the people that he's maimed and left alone The Lord God said love thy neighbour Though in human life he trades, he's still a man I feel sorry for the children who with open mind are willing To fight for ideals aged and past their time I feel sorry for the children who will join the vicious circle Of instinct fear bred from their parents' minds The Lord God said love thy neighbour Break the circle, free the hater, call him a friend Wake up, wake up, there's a man by your side With a knife and a gun in each hand Wake up, wake up, you're one and the same It's time to stop and decide Is it love or hate? Is it peace or war? It's for sure there's no inbetween Politicians point views But they're pointing for you The solution has to be seen I thought I saw a summer soldier, helmet on his brow His silver rifle clutched beneath his armour-plated shroud I fire in hate, he cried aloud To protect myself from defeat My shield's my cause, my cause is war And from war I'll make no retreat I dreamt I saw an angel bright, a halo on his brow His golden sword lay in its sheath beneath his silver shroud I drwa thee not, he cried aloud Though your deeds like spears strike my soul My shield's my love, my cause is peace Faith be sure I shall not retreat |

I cannot see you
For the sun is in my eyes I cannot hear you Everything you say just passes by What I'd give for just a smile Instead of drifting at A hundred thousand miles Can you hear me there below? All my lines have gone dead And I'm not very sure Can you hear me there below? 'Cause I'm coming down fast I can't make it alone Oh no no no... I cannot see you For the sun is in my eyes I cannot hear you Everything you say just passes by Here I stay until I'm found Insane in space and my world Is spinning round Can you hear me there below? All my lines have gone dead And I'm not very sure Can you hear me there below? 'Cause I'm coming down fast I can't make it alone |

The moon is making patterns on the water
Why it is I just can't say I'm not old enough or wise enough to wonder I don't think about the magic that I'm under Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes You'll find me in the twilight on the mountain When the sun shines on the lake I'm a child of darkness lost among the thunder Where the shafts of moonlight break the sky asunder Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes |

I think I'm going back from where I came
There's something that I feel but can't explain People running round and round Putting one another down The joker laughs the joker cries He sees the world through weary eyes People running round and round Putting one another down Too many people, they don't know where they're going There are no haloes showing "Peace and love", just greed and hate It's not too late to see we're all the same The joker sees a better way But people laugh and turn away |
