Caravan - Where But For Caravan Would I? An Anthology (2006) by Caravan (보컬) on maniadb.com

Yesterday's face
Is not the one I choose to see
Nor is the face
Of someone who gets much too close to me

I've got this place of my own
Where I can go when I feel I'm coming down
We'll do our best to ensure
You'll feel secure if you come

Love is the thing you crave
But it lies asleep inside of all your heads
Please, why don't you live a bit today?
For tomorrow you may find that you are dead

I've got this place of my own
Where I can go when I feel I'm coming down
We'll do our best to ensure
You'll feel secure if you come

When I've got time on my side, there's nothing I can do
to escape from the scenes that have been making me want you
So I think of the dreams that I've had, and what's left I'd like to do
But my mind draws a blind over me and all I see is you

Look into my eyes
Tell me what you see
Listen to me now
I'm needing you - though it may not seem to be
I'm needing you - you're all I care to see
I'm needing you - and you, and you...

I can feel the sun in my hair when I'm sitting here with you
Who cares if I'm lost in my mind? My dreams are overdue
I've been living more for myself than I've ever done before
And my feeling's so real over you, I keep coming back for more

When I look at me, all that I feel
And all I see is you
So look into my eyes
I'm needing you - though it may not seem to be
I'm needing you - you're all I care to see
I'm needing you - and you, and you...

Sittin' in my treetop world, doing nothing at all
Just floating in the sky, I'm free
Envy me all you want, it don't mean a thing
But join me anytime, if you please

I'm lazy I know, but I do anything that I want to do
Fly to my arms and feel your fantasies coming through
I'm a magic man on a sea, in the sky
A magic man on a sea, in the sky
Join me and see... in the sky

I know that I am not too far away for you to come to
There ain't a storm that my ship can't carry you through
I know that you know in your mind that I'm right, it's good to be free
Soft Machines, Heart Club Bands and all are welcome here with me

I'm lazy I know, but I do anything that I want to do
Fly to my arms and feel your fantasies coming through
I'm a magic man on a sea, in the sky
A magic man on a sea, in the sky
Join me and see... in the sky

Wish that I could be you
Don't you wish to wish that, too?
Wish that I could be you...

Standing on a golf course
Dressed in P.V.C.
I chanced upon a golf girl
Selling cups of tea
She asked me did I want one
Asked me with a grin
For three pence you can buy one
Full right to the brim

So of course I had to have one
In fact I ordered three
So I could watch the golf girl
Could see she fancied me
And later on the golf course
After drinking tea
It started raining golf balls
And she protected me

Her name was Pat
And we sat under a tree
She kissed me
We go for walks
In fine weather
All together
On the golf course
We talk in Morse

This section is instrumental.

Winter Wine
How you're always flowing, blowing in my mind
Like a stream, these magic waters move me to a dream
Of travelling with you, drifting carefree, dropping downward through fresh grasses
Bubbles merrily as it passes, never knowing where you're going

Carry me with you, carry me with you

Be conjured up in a midnight dream, ancient castles dark
As wandering minstrels play tunes of yesterday
When dragons roamed the land, knights in armour gold
Charged on horseback bold
The maids were saved, the dragons slayed

Sail scene, sea green - sailing forward to a new land
Treasure waits, paradise gates, for the taking, can't start waiting
All you need, but take heed, remember it pays to pay the sandman well
Make no fuss, for you must - in stardust, he puts all the colours in your dreams

Bells chime three times, naked dancers enter slowly
Smoky room, scented gloom, audience eating, fat men drinking
Candles burn, a dull red light illuminates the breasts of four young girls

Dancing, prancing, provoking - dreams are always ending far too soon

Life's too short to be sad, wishing things you'll never have
You're better off not dreaming of the things to come
Dreams are always ending far too soon
Sounds of a distant melody, once played, lost from memory
Funny how it's clearer now, you're close to me
We'll be together all the time

I dreamed of all the magic things that be
When we'd ride to a dock on bended knee
But you'd just smile and gently shake your head
And put a hole through me so I was dead
Oh, I'd fall down and I was left alone
With a feeling of you still that was my own

Oh, I would love to, love to love you
Yes, indeed, I do love you, love you
My, my, pigs might fly, that can't be bad
How you have the cheek to smile and tell me I'm mad

A man came through the wall and stood by me
Complete with bag of nuts and fancy free
He said without a tonal fleeting glance
"I'd like to get deep down inside your pants"
How you opened up his head and smiled
And rubbish from your mouth you ticked inside

Oh, I would love to, love to love you
Yes, indeed, I do love you, love you
My, my, pigs might fly, that can't be bad
How you have the cheek to smile and tell me I'm mad

Morning has come again
Another day seems surrounding me
Here comes that song again
With his home round it seems to be guiding me

So here with a mirror for the day
Somewhere in your mind you'll hear someone say
Get in time again ? you don't have, you don't have to know
My dreams are all though here I go

I like the way you're puttin' dreams in my heart
I like the wind blowing in my ears
I like my days to have sunshine and stars
And no rain to appear
You're just a smile, making life so much better
I'd give more for you than sunshine

Cause I got love for you darling, love for you now
Love for you straight from my heart
When you need something better, and you don't understand
All you've got to do is such a [...]

Don't seem to matter if it's all in your mind
I'd still believe you're right here
On Sunday morning, with a song in my heart
It seems to dispel all fear
And you'd believe nothing could be so much better
And what I'd give for you is sunshine all

And I got love for you darling, love for you now
Love for you straight from my heart
When you need something better, and you don't understand
All you've got to do is such a [...]

I've seen days where there's always sunshine
I've stood days in the pouring rain
I fall over myself and sometimes
I get back on my feet again

So you got me all wrong
'Cause I can see what you mean a lot more than you know
You got me all wrong
And I can see you're just stuck in a hole ? stuck in a hole

Don't ask when you know what I said
You can't do nothing wrong from right
If you come sleeping and passing my way
We'll go lazing around tonight

Don't get me all wrong
'Cause you can't see what I mean a lot more than you know
Don't get me all wrong
'Cause you and me, we'll be stuck in a hole ? stuck in a hole

Now that it's done
I can see we've got it all back together
Signs in your eyes, in my smile
Show it all, show it all
Sometimes it all seemed much better
Nobody ever to guide you
Always so easy just wanting to please with your eyes

Travelling unknown, singing songs
Doing all with whatever
We'll be right, we'll be wrong
But we'll do it all, do it all
Don't know what lay down beside me
Slowly taking me over
Changing my mind without reason or rhyme from that goal

Oh, I'd work it out slowly
Oh, I'd take it as it comes
Oh, I'd talk it all over
Oh, shove it back where it comes

In my mind I can find
All I need for whatever
And as such don't need much
To get me by, get me by
A smile, a laugh can be better
A million or two just in case I
Don't feel at ease and there's something it'd please me to find

Oh, I'm working it slowly
Oh, and I'll take it as it comes
Oh, and I'll spread it all over
Oh, shove it back where it comes

No ......
No .......
No backstage pass

Have you been done
Are you one or don't you know altogether?
Don't you think it all stinks
Or do you know not at all?
Don't wait for someone to guide you
Maybe it won't seem much better
Take what you can, there's time in your hand passing by
