from Chris De Burgh - Flying Colours (1988)
Naked and frozen at the side of a lake,
I think I've gone and made my big mistake, I took her swimming, we had a fight, Now my clothes and the lady are well out of sight, And it looks like I'm heading for a night on the river, Under the moon and the stars, Looks like I'm heading for a night on the river, Me and my beating heart, singing in the dark. Naked and frozen at the side of a lake, If she was here I wouldn't hesitate, To tell her how, the way things are, With a long conversation in the back of a car, And it looks like I'm heading for a night on the river, Under the moon and the stars, Could be I'm heading for a night on the river, Just me and my beating heart, singing in the dark; I think she owes me an explanation, She's got the whip hand in this situation, If I try to tell her just the way I feel, It could start the whole thing all over again, Ooh, I think I'm heading for a night on the river, Under the moon and the stars, Could be I'm heading for a night on the river, But I see the lights of a car, shining in the dark, Ooh, could be we're heading for a mm-mm, Under the moon and the stars, Could be we're heading for a mm-mm Just you and me and our beating hearts, We're singing in the dark... |

from Chris De Burgh - At The End Of A Perfect Day (1986)
it's a rainy night in paris,
and the harbour lights are low, he must leave his love in paris, before the winter snow; on a lonely street in paris, he held her close to say, "we'll meet again in paris, when there are flowers on champs-elysees..." "how long" she said "how long, and will your love be strong, when you're across the sea, will your heart remember me? ..." then she gave him words to turn to, when the winter nights were long, "nous serons encore amoureux, avec les couleurs de printemps..." "and then "she said "and then, our love will grow again," ah but in her eyes he sees, her words of love are only words to please... and now the lights of paris, grow dim and fade away, and I know by the lights of paris, I will never see her again... |

from Chris De Burgh - Spanish Train And Other Stories (1985)
A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar,
'Twas light years of time since his mission did start, And over a village he halted his craft, And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star... He followed a light and came down to a shed, Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed, A bright light of silver shone round his head, And he had the face of an angle, and they were afraid... Then the stranger spoke, he said "Do not fear, I come from a planet a long way from here, And I bring a message for mankind to hear," And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air... And it went La La... Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child... This lovely music went trembling through the ground, And many were wakened on hearing that sound, And travellers on the road, the village they found, By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all round... And just before dawn at the paling of the sky, The stranger returned and said "Now I must fly, When two thousand years of your time has gone by, This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry..." And it went La La ... This song will begin once again To a baby's cry... And it goes La La... Peace and goodwill to all men, and Love for the child... Oh the whole world is waiting, waiting to hear the song again, There are thousands standing on the edge of the world, And a star is moving somewhere, the time is nearly here, This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry... |

A woman's heart is filled with passion, A woman's heart is filled with lust, If you don't believe that these things happen, Could be the biggest mistake that a man can make; A woman's night is filled with dreaming, Of the perfect man who may not be you, If we don't see what she's been missing, Could be the biggest mistake that a man can make, She wants to get near to you, Don't turn her away, She wants to get through to you, She wants to say; Give me your night, And i will show you my passion, Give me your lust, And i will drink you dry, Give me your dreams, And i will show you a lover, Give me your heart, And i will hold you close, And i will love you till the day i die. A woman's day is filled with longing, For a little romance and company, If we don't look or just don't listen, Could be the biggest mistake that a man can make; A woman's heart is yours forever, She will be true, to the one in her life, If we don't give her love and affection, Could be the biggest mistake, that a man can make. She wants to get near to you, Don't turn her away, She want's to get through to you, She want's you to say; Give me your night, And i will show you my passion, Give me your lust, And i will drink you dry.... Give me your dreams, And i will show you a lover, Give me your heart, And i will hold you close, And i will love you till the day i die. She wants to get near to you, Don't turn her away, She want's to get through to you, She want's you to say, Give me your night And i will show you my passion, Give me your lust, And i will drink you dry.... Give me your dreams, And i will show you a lover, Give me your heart, And i will hold you close, And i will love you till the day i die. |

When I wake up in the morning, she is there
With her sleepy smile and a long night of windy hair When I hold her close beside me, well it feels so good That I'd like to stay here all day long If there's a way that I could And when we go downstairs and start off onto the day Just one more cup of coffee and I'm on my way We may not have perfection, but we're half way there And I know it's sentimental, but I just wanted to say That all the love I have inside me, is for you All the love I have inside me, is for you All the love I have inside me, is for you And when I've had a heavy day and I'm going home She gives me time if she sees I want to be alone Ah but when the evening's over and we go to bed Here comes that same old feeling, it's like a song in my head Well all the love I have inside me, is for you All the love I have inside me, is for you All the love I have inside me, is for you Here's my love song to you, you.... |

Maybe I didn't love you quite as good as i should have, Maybe I didn't hold you quite as often as i could have, Litte things I should have said and done, I just never took the time You were always on my mind, You were always on my mind Maybe i didn't hold you all those lonely, lonely nights, And i guess i never told you, i'm so happy that you're mine, If i made you feel second best, i'm so sorry, i was blind, You were always on my mind, You were always on my mind Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died, Give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied satisfied. If i made you feel second best, i'm so sorry, i was blind, You were always on my mind, You were always on my mind - |

I'm standing in the station,
I am waiting for a train, To take me to the border, And my loved one far away, I watched a bunch of soldiers heading for the war, I could hardly even bear to see them go; Rolling through the countryside, Tears are in my eyes, We're coming to the borderline, I'm ready with my lies, And in the early morning rain, I see her there, And I know I'll have to say goodbye again; And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do, I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you, I'm taking my side, one of us will lose, Don't let go, I want to know, That you will wait for me until the day, There's no borderline, no borderline; Walking past the border guards, Reaching for her hand, Showing no emotion, I want to break into a run, But these are only boys, and I will never know, How men can see the wisdom in a war... And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do, I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you, I'm taking my side, one of us will lose, Don't let go, I want to know, That you will wait for me until the day, There's no borderline, no borderline, No borderline, no borderline... |

Misty land of music where the feet are never still, And pretty senhoritas dressed up for the kill, They'll be glad that you're coming to Brazil, yeah, me too, So glad that you're coming to Brazil... Ooh, next thing you know you're out here dancing in the streets, Working with the people on that Boss-a-Nova beat, And some dark-eyed lady brings you wine and a chicken wing, In Brazil where the Carnival is king, yes, Brazil where the Carnival is king, everbody's singing, Ah la la Brazil, Ah la la Brazil, Ah la la Brazil, Ah la la Brazil, Ooh, Rio de Janeiro is the kind of place for me, Dancing in the moonlight, making love down by the sea, From Copacabana to the Corcovado hill, Everybody's always singing in Brazil, Yeah, everybody's, ooh singing, in Brazil, All together now... Ah la la Brazil... Cancao du Brazil... (Song of Brazil) Tudo beum Brazil... (All's well in Brazil) Ah la la Brazil... |

And you will ask her, why she had to go, We live and die, we laugh and we cry, And you must take away the pain, Before you can begin to live again; So let it start, my friend, let it start, Let the tears come rolling from your heart, And when you need a light in the lonely nights, Carry me like a fire in your heart, Carre me like a fire in your heart; There is a river rolling to the sea, You will be with her for all eternity, But we that remain need you here again, So hold her in your memory And begin to make the shadows disappear; Yes let it start, my friend, let it start, Let the love come rolling from your heart, And when you need a light in the lonely nights, Carry me like a fire in your heart, Carry me like a fire in your heart; So let it start, my friend, let it start, Let the love come rolling from your heart, And when you need a light in the lonely nights, Carry me like a fire in your heart, Carry me like a fire in your heart, Carry me like a fire in your heart, Carry me like a fire in your heart. |

Whatever the words that you hear,
Somehow the meaning is clear, We're all on the same ship together, moving on, From the first time that life could be heard, To the last sounds of men on this earth, The question is always the same, where are we going, where are we going? Ooh carry on, carry on, There's a silver light beside you, Take the hand that's there to guide you Through this night to where we came from, Carry on, carry on, When the autumn leaves are falling, And you hear the voices calling you away, Then do not fear, you'll carry on, Carry on, carry on... Love is the daughter of life, comfort to trouble and strife, She's always beside you to help you carry on, Oh they say that the stars in the sky, Are the souls of the people who die, Will we meet them again when we reach our destination? Sratseht rofesruo cates, Nwonknu no it anitsed, Dlroweht gnillacsi esrevinu eht, Ecalp gnitser lanif dnatsal rehs-drawot, Ooh carry on, carry on, There's a silver light beside you, Take the hand that's there to guide you Through this night to where we came from, Carry on, carry on, When the autumn leaves are falling, And you hear the voices calling you away, Then do not fear, you'll carry on, carry on, Carry on, carry on...ooh carry on... |

"What do I do next?" said the Bishop to the Priest,
"I have spent my whole life waiting, preparing for the Feast, And now you say Jerusalem has fallen and is lost, The King of Heathen Saracen has seized the holy cross." Then the Priest said "Oh my Bishop, we must put them to the sword, For God in all his mercy will find a just reward, For the Noblemen and sinners, and Knights of ready hand Who will be the Lord's Crusader, send word throughout all the land, Jerusalem is lost, Jerusalem is lost, Jerusalem is lost;" "Tell me what to do", said the King upon his throne, "but speak to me in whispers for we are not alone, They tell me that Jerusalem has fallen to the hand Of some bedevilled Eastern heathen who has seized the Holy land;" Then the Chamberlain said "Lord, we must call upon our foes In Spain and France and Germany to end our bitter wars, All Christian men must be as one and gather for the fight, You will be their leader, begin the battle cry, Jerusalem is lost, Jerusalem is lost, Jerusalem is lost"... Ooh, high on a hill, in the town of Jerusalem, There stood Saladin, the King of the Saracens, Whoring and drinking and snoring and sinking, around him his army lay, Secure in the knowledge that they had won the day; A messenger came, blood on his feet and a wound in his chest, "The Christians are coming!" he said, "I have seen their Cross in the West," In a rage Saladin struck him down with his knife And he said "I know that this man lies, They quarrel too much, the Christians could never unite! I am invincible, I am the King, I am invincible, and I will win..." I will win Close they came, the army of Richard the Lionheart, Marching by day and night, with soldiers from every part, And when the Crusaders came over the mountain and they saw Jerusalem, They fell to their knees and prayed for her release; They started the battle at dawn, taking the city by storm, With horsemen and bowmen and engines of war, They broke through the city walls, The Heathens were flying and screaming and dying, And the Christian swords were strong, And Saladin ran when he heard their victory song; "We are invincible, God is the King, We are invincible, and we will win!" "What do I do now?" said the Wiseman to the Fool, "I have spent my whole life waiting, to find the Golden Rule, Though centuries have disappeared, the memory still remains Of those enemies together, could it be that way again?" Then the Fool said "Oh you Wise men, you really make me laugh, With your talk of vast persuasion and searching through the past, There is only greed and evil in the men that fight today, The Song of the Crusader has long since gone away, Jerusalem is lost, Jerusalem is lost, Jerusalem is lost... Jerusalem." |

Searchlights, rain on the road,
Waiting for the airport limousine, Your time in this foreign land, Is nearly over, I'll never forget how Last night, after he called, You held me like you'd never let me go, But your eyes are happy now, And you are beautiful, you're ready to leave me, Homeward, back to your world, Back to the one who is there, Go now, but go in love, For it's the only way; And you'll be crying, laughing, Half a world away, You'll be crying, laughing, For the love we have, When you go away... Long ride, holding her hand, Looking all the words we cannot speak, One mile to the boulevard, And the aeroplane that's waiting to take you Homeward, back to your land, Back to the one who is there, Go now, but go in love, For it's the only way, And you'll be crying, laughing, Half a world away, You'll be crying, laughing, For the love we have, But you must go, Crying, laughing, Half a world away, You'll be crying, laughing, Don't forget me love, When you go away... |

Is it real, what I feel, is it love,
Is it love that's making me weak, in the night, And when she's next to me, I just stumble on my words, And all the things I want to say, Come out wrong, I am lost in a dream, But I know this is more than it seems, I need a little help; Someone put on a love song, To bring her closer to me, All I want is this diamond in the dark, To begin what must be; When she turns at her name, when she smiles, When she smiles, I feel it again, in my heart, Across the crowded room, She is just a dance away, And I can feel her like a fire that's burning strong, She keeps looking at me, And I know this was all meant to be, And then it had to come; Someone put on a love song, To bring her closer to me, All I want is this diamond in the dark, To begin what must be, All I want is this diamond in the dark, To begin what must be, All I want is this diamond in the dark, to begin what must be, All I want is this diamond in the dark, to begin what must be. |

Lady love, go back to sleep, Dry the tears from your eyes, But i cannot stay with thee Until the morning, For the dawn is breaking, And my ship is waiting for me, And i must go, But i'll be back, yes, Before this year is over; So we sailed across the sea, Till we found america, 'round the cape of storms We set our sails for home, And when the sea was roaring And the lord i called To help my drowning men, I saw the light, yes, the candle in your window... And i have brought you silver, And i have brought you gold, And spices from the indies in the hold; I've seen ships on the horizon, That i'd swear were going down, But now i know for certain, The world is round, I have seen, my eyes have seen. One day says galileo, A man will reach the sky, And see the world completely, From outside, And gazing down from younder, On a world of blue and green, He'll say with eyes of wonder, I have seen, i have seen, My eyes have seen.

Oh, there is a place where the wild men go,
When it's late at night and on the radio, They're telling everybody, stay at home, It's no time for you to be alone, It is a place on the edge of town, Just shining in a hell-fire light (they're waiting), And if you're there, keep going on, They're waiting deep inside, I'm telling you, Don't look back, women in the red and black, Don't look back, they're going to take your heart away, I'm telling you don't look back, women in the red and black, Don't look back, they're going to steal your heart away, I should have known better; Well Jimmy Pellin was a friend of mine, But he went out there one too many times, I saw him running down the railroad track, And I tell you boys he ain't coming back, The early morning is their favourite time, To find somebody out on their own (they're waiting), They're waving arms and flashing lights, Standing out on the road, I'm telling you, Don't look back, women in the red and black, Don't look back, they're going to take your heart away, I should have known better, I should have known better, So if you're going to the edge of town, Don't lose in a hell-fire light, (they're waiting) And if you're passing, keep going on, They're waiting there tonight, I'm begging you, Don't look back, don't look back, I beg you don't look back, Women in the red and black, Don't look back, They're going to steal your heart away, I should have known better -- don't look back, I should have known better -- don't look back, I should have known better -- don't look back, I should have known better -- don't look back, I should have known better. |

Speeding like a man on the run A lifetime spent preparing for the journey He is closer now and the search is on Reading from a map in the mind Yes there's the ragged hill And there's the boat on the river And when the rain came down He heard a wild dog howl There were voices in the night (Don't do it) Voices out of sight (Don't do it) Too many men have failed before Whatever you do Don't pay the ferryman Don't even fix a price Don't pay the ferryman Until he gets you to the other side In the rolling mist Then he gets on board Now there'll be no turning back Beware that hooded old man At the rudder And then the lightning flashed And the thunder roared And people calling out his name And dancing bones that jabbered And a moaned on the water And then the ferryman said "There is trouble ahead So you must pay me now" (Don't do it) "You must pay me now" (Don't do it) And still that voice came from beyond Whatever you do Don't pay the ferryman Don't even fix a price Don't pay the ferryman Until he gets you to the other side |

Well my furrows are filled with corn,
I have my woman to keep me warm, But there's one thing that I do fear, That Eastern wind is getting near, There's a shotgun beside my bed, This is my country, where I was born and bred, But I am sure, as the willow will grow, That Eastern wind is going to blow, Blowing a hole in my life, Eastern wind, Running away with my life, Eastern wind; There's a woman who reads the stars, She sees Warlords on the planet Mars, And she said, "Boy, you'd better beware, That restless wind is getting near, Blowing a hole in your life, Eastern wind, Running away with your life, Eastern wind..." They are coming, they are coming, they are coming, look out! In my dream, I saw a crowd, They were burning the palace down, I saw a mad old man, and I ran to the door, And then that wind began to roar, And when they come, they'll find me here, I will not run, they will not see my fear, And I will fight to the very end, Before that wind I will never bend, If they're blowing a hole in my life, Eastern wind, Oh running away with my life, Eastern wind, Taking the plough from my hands, Eastern wind, Taking every bit of my land, Eastern wind... |

They say there will be rain tonight,
But that's okay, we'll stay inside, This is the first time I have felt so satisfied, I know love has found me; And now the night, is getting wild, And she is sleeping like a child, And though I know, I know I should be dreaming, I'm tossing and turning, 'cos I wonder, Yes I wonder, how it began, Growing in the forests and the freeways, Minute by minute she became a part of me, And suddenly love is here and I'm falling, Just like every drop of rain, Many drops can someday make a river, And many rivers go down to the sea, And the sea rolls on forever, forever, And now I'll sleep til morning light, I have no fear of stormy nights, Because the one that I have wanted all my life, Is right here beside me, and I wonder, Oh the wonder, how it began, Growing in the forests and the freeways, Minute by minute she became a part of me, And suddenly love is here and I'm falling, Just like every drop of rain, Many drops can someday make a river, And many rivers go down to the sea, And the sea rolls on forever, Oh oh every drop of rain... |

The caf굎 are all deserted, the streets are wet again,
There's nothing quite like an out of season holiday town, In the rain, When the tourists go and the cold winds blow, And my girl is on a plane, home... I'm never gonna love another, the way that I have loved you, It's taken me a little time to discover it, Now I know it's true, but fatal hesitation, Made me miss the show, Oh Romeo is standing in the rain, And I know that I have let her slip away, Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation... I saw you again this morning, walking down the beach, And though you are a thousand miles away, You were only just out of reach, but when I got up close, And I saw her face, I knew it couldn't be so, no, no... Oh Romeo is standing in the rain, And I, yes I know, I have let her slip away, Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation, I'm going to get on my boat and sail away; Oh Romeo is standing in the rain, And I know, I have let her slip away, Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation, Fatal hesitation, oh Romeo is standing in the rain, Fatal hesitation, yes I know, I have let her slip away; I'm gonna read a little Shakespeare, And get her out of my head, It doesn't matter any more, I'm gonna miss her just a little bit, Just a little bit... |

When I touch you I can feel you shivering
I can feel your heart is beating fast We are alone in this crowded room Oh tonight there is something happening And it's something that should never be But there's a flame over you and me And I can see the fire on water I can see the light shining in your eyes I know that I can't stop it now 'Cos I've been caught in the heat of the sun... There's a place and an ancient fortress High above the worries of the world I'd love you there for a long, long time And we'll discover all our deepest secrets And let the spirit go flying free Until the dawn breaks over the sea It's burning like fire on the water I can see the light shining in your eyes I know that I can't stop it now 'Cos I've been caught in the heat of the sun Yes I've been caught in the heat of the sun Oh let it shine on me And I can see the fire on the water I can see the light shining in your eyes I know that I can't stop it now 'Cos I've been caught in the heat of the sun Yes I've been caught in the heat of the sun Oh let it shine on me And I can see the fire on the water Can't stop it now... |

It's five past dreams, I should be home asleep,
But I just want to keep this moment alive, it's just you and I, And I can't deny that I've had too much to drink tonight, But everybody's gone, and we're still going strong, Thinking of bed, dancing instead, you're lovely in red; And we are moving cheek to cheek, and I know that I'm with The only one who makes it right, it's in your eyes, and your smile, And the way you look tonight; It's five past dreams, the world is waking up, just like I should Have done a long time ago, maybe I'm slow, I just didn't know, That the saviour of my heart is right here, in my arms, you are The one who makes it right with your eyes, and your smile, And the way you look tonight; And I know that I'm with the only one who makes it right, It's in your eyes, and your smile, and the way you look tonight; With your eyes, and the way you look tonight. |

We're sitting out here on the runway,
Waiting for the plane to leave, And the Captain says, "There'll be a short delay, Bear with me please," They gave us the usual hassle, "You can't take those guitars on board," But the boys in the band just smiled, Heard it all before, And as they're starting to serve Champagne To the folks at the front of the plane, I can hear the engines roaring, we're on our way, And we are flying home, I feel the freedom in my soul, Flying home at last; Flying home, I've got the freedom in my soul, And it's four in the morning, My world is calling, Speeding through the universe tonight... The movie reminds of my lady, As she waits, "where are those guys?" Yes it's nice to see old Butch and Sundance in the sky, And now the sun is beginning to rise, It's like looking down on Paradise, There's a ball of fire that's burning, giving life, And we are flying home, I feel the freedom in my soul, Flying home at last; Flying home, I've got the freedom in my soul, And it's four in the morning, My world is calling, Speeding through the universe tonight... |

This is for Rosanna, sweet girl of mine,
A song for the baby who changed my life, I'll never forget when I saw you first, I thought that my heart would burst, With the love that I have. As I watch you sleeping in here tonight, And I hear your breathing so soft and light, I cannot believe all the things that I feel, When I hold you next to me, It's the love that I have. Oh how my heart it is shining, Oh how my heart it is shining, Oh how my heart is shining through, With the love that I have. And as you are growing from baby to child, I share the wonders that are in your eyes, And I am amazed at the way you change, All according to the plan, And the love that I have. And when you are older you will go away, You'll see injustice and you'll see pain, But never forget that I'm always there, Like a shadow by your side, With the love that I have. Oh my love, you have your mother's eyes, And when I see you laugh, you have your mother's smile, And you are mine all of my life, You are mine, all of my love, You are mine, blood of my blood, You are mine. Oh how my heart it is shining, Oh how my heart it is shining, Oh how my heart it is shining through, With the love that I have. |

I wake with the dawn, something is wrong,
Then I hear you breathing softly by my side, And I know that I was dreaming, of a time that may come, When you would be no longer in my life; I slip out of the bed, I go down the stairs, Still troubled by the power of the dream, And I know that I don't say it quite as much as I should, The way I feel, and what you mean to me; You are my lover, you are my friend, You are my life to the very end, You bring me comfort, you keep me warm, You give me hope, you make me strong, You take me away to a distant shore, And it's with you that I want to stay, Forevermore; We go out at night, you're looking so good, People turning, as you walk into the room, And when I stand beside you I can feel the pride in my heart, To know that you are here with me tonight; You are my lover, you are my friend, You are my life to the very end, You bring me comfort, you keep me warm, You give me hope, you make me strong, You take me away to a distant shore, And it's with you that I'm going to stay, Forevermore, Yes it's with you that I'm going to stay, Forevermore, Yes it's with you that I'm going to stay, Forevermore. You are my lover, you are my friend, You are my... |

Is there anybody going to listen to my story All about the girl who came to stay? She's the kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry Still you don't regret a single day Ah girl ... girl... When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her She will turn to me and start to cry And she promises the earth to me and I believe her After all there's time I don't know whyvAh girl ... girl... She's the kind of girl who puts you down when friends are there you feel a fool When you say she's looking good She acts as if it's understood She's cool cool cool cool Ah girl ... girl... Was she told when she was young that pain would lead to pleasure Did she understand it when they said That a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure Will she still believe him when he's dead? Ah girl ... girl |

Well, it's after midnight and the stars are shining bright
And a big fat moon is dancing on the sea, and I'm thinking, oh my... And that old man in the sky he's looking me right in the eye And he's wondering why, and he's saying "Little singer, Why aren't you sleeping, why aren't you sleeping?" Oh, the day is hanging heavy on my eyes, I guess the time Has come to say goodnight... And may your dreams take you travelling all night long, With an angel by your side when the wind blows strong Oh stay away from that city, that sad and lonely place, I will lead you to the river, here's the door, And the key is turning round Close the shutters, do not cry, there's a new moon in the sky; Oh hold on to your love, until your time has come to say... goodnight. |

I don't know where the time has gone, suddenly here we are alone,
Only a word before you go, everyone's waiting; So many friends to say goodbye, so many tears they'll have to cry, So many wings to help you fly where you are going; And now a plane must take away my child that life has found, And you will be up in the sky, and I'll be on the ground, Sending my love with you tonight; I will be waiting, I will be waiting, here for you, here for you; I don't know where the years have gone, Suddenly here, and you have grown, It was like only yesterday when you were so young; But here is the day we had to see, always the same eternally, This is the way that it must be, now it is your world; And so a plane must take away my child that time has found, And you will be up in the sky, and I'll be on the ground, Sending my dreams with you tonight; I will be waiting.....I'm trying not to show, But seeing you go, is the hardest thing that I have known; I will be waiting, don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright * I will be waiting, don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright, Here for you, here for you, I don't know where the years have gone..... |

Somewhere,
A lonely girl lies weeping. A lonely man tries sleeping, But he's getting nowhere. Sometime, It may be close to morning. She thought she heard him calling, But there's nobody there. And somehow, somehow, He knows he's got to try To hold on. Somewhere she's crying for him. Hold on. Someday her smile will call him. Hold on. There's someone out there trying for him. Somehow, Sometime, Somewhere. Somewhere, Again she sleeps alone. He is reaching for the phone But he's calling no one. Oh sometime, She's dreaming of her lover. It really can't be over We've only just begun. And somehow, somehow, I know i've go to try To hold on. Somewhere she's crying for me. Hold on. Someday her smile will call me. Hold on. There's someone out there trying for me. Somehow, Sometime, Somewhere. Hold on. Hold on. Somehow, Sometime, Somewhere. |

Show me a man secure in his love,
And I'll show you a lucky man; I loved her too well and I just couldn't tell, She was holding another hand, And when she said that she would leave in the morning, I broke down and cried, 'Cos I had the love in my eyes, I just didn't see it, Such a surprise, I just don't believe it, Somebody took her away, oh I was blind, I had the love in my eyes... Day after day, in so many ways, I gave her the best of me, But she wanted more, and she opened the door, Well I hope that you find what you need; And all the time I thought that she was beside me, She was drifting away, But I had the love in my eyes, I just didn't see it, Such a surprise, I just don't believe it, Somebody took her away, oh I was blind, I had the love in my eyes, I had the love in my eyes... |

You took me on a highway to the stars, and left me halfway there; I hold you in my dreams, your tender kiss is never what it seems, 'cos when i wake up in the morning sun, i look, but you're not there; I cannot believe this has happened to me, It's been heaven in your arms, You gave me so much, with an angels touch, And then you took my heart; I see you in the street, and people turning at my running feet, But when i get up close a stranger's eyes, are looking back at me; Oh i cannot believe this has happened to me, Its like heaven for one day. You left me like this with an angels kiss, And then you flew away; I see you everywhere, i see your eyes, i touch your hair, I'm gonna take that highway to the stars, And i will find you there; I see you everywhere, i see you everywhere, I see you everywhere, i see you everywhere.......... Everywhere..... And when i'm looking for you, i'm gonna find you, And when i find you i am, i'm gonna hold you, And when i hold you i am, i'm gonna love you, And when i love you it will, it will be forever.......

Four in the morning and i just can't sleep I've got a craving now for something sweet So i head off for my local all-night supermarket, When i get there, it's deserted; And now i'm standing at the chocolate shelf, Under the sign that says, "help yourself" If you really gotta have it, Then we really gotta sell it to ya This is for people who say.... I want it and i want it now! I want it and i just can't wait! I want it and i want it now. I want it and i will not wait...... I want it.......now I sit at home and when i watch tv, I gotta have remote control with me, Oh and when i'm watching football, I can go to total recall, I got freeze frame, i got slo - mo. This is the way that it was meant to be, You gotta get ready for the century I'm a total modern man, And i got total modern plans And it's so easy when you say..... I want it and i want it now!

I'm going to an island,
Where the sun will always shine, Where the moon is always riding on the sea; And when I go I'll leave behind, These chains that hold me down, The time has come to set my spirit free, Ah, ah ... I will And there beside a mountain stream, I'll build a house of stone, And work the wood of cedar, pine and fir, And then I'll make a garden, And I'll plant a field of corn, Press my hands deep into Mother Earth, Ah, ah ... I will, Yes I will, Oh I will, Just to be a part of Nature once again, I want to be a part of Nature once again, And I will... And then I'll teach my children love, Like every father should, For we are part of every living thing, And speak of half-forgotten words, Like peace and joy and good, For the world can only live when love can sing, Ah, ah ... I will, Oh, yes I will, I will, And they will be a part of Nature once again, Oh they will feel a part of Nature once again, The time is now, Just to be a part of Nature once again, And I will, ah ah, someday I will, (someday I will) |

And downstairs the child is sleeping Her spirit is free For more than an hour I have walked in the rain I've been wondering What will she be? But where are the heroes? Where are the dreams that I had When I was young? Am I hoping in vain Just to think She could change anything? Well, I'm counting on you I'm counting on you To bring that sweet gentleness to your world And all that you do My generation is losing its way We don't know What we're leaving for you So may there be millions to feel like you do Oh, my love There is so much to know There is so far to go But you are not alone When this is your world And I'm counting on you I'm counting on you Come to me Turn to me Give me your eyes When you see The mysteries of time Here there are those Who just live in the past They will never Let history lie And this sad little island Is breaking my heart with it's dark Shades of green And as hard as I try I just cannot see why this should be There is so much to know There is so far to go But you are not alone When this is your world And I'm counting on you I'm counting on you I'm counting on you I'm counting on you |

I left my home by the ocean,
I left my love by the sea, Dreaming I could sing my songs in the city... I thought the streets of London Would be paved with gold, But the only gold was in the setting sun, And these city nights are so cold. And you know that feeling when you've been too long, And you wanna go home and it's so strong, I'm going home, I'm going home, Oh the leaves are falling and the wind is calling And I must get on the road, You'll be alone, you'll be alone, But if you're crying to the rhythm of the falling rain, It's alright, I'm on my way, I'm going home, I'm going home, yea... Jilly she's got a smile in her eye, And a bed just right for two, Silly how much I love her, but I do, Sunny days will be here again, She whispered in my ear, Oh Lord it's funny how much I've missed the country rain, That's a sound I love to hear... And I know that feeling and I've been too long, And I wanna go home and it's so strong, I'm going home, I'm going home, Oh the leaves are falling and the wind is calling And I must get on the road, You'll be alone, you'll be alone, But if you're crying to the rhythm of the falling rain, It's alright, I'm on the way, I'm going home, I'm going home, yea... Oh hold on darling, I'm going home, I'm on the way, I'm going home, I'm going home, Hold on darling... |

I don't mind this empty room, and i like it when i'm alone, I'm trying not to think about you, i'm not waiting by the telephone, I'm watching a late-night movie, where the lovers say goodbye, And it's really getting to me, and tears are in my eyes, But i'm not crying, i'm not crying, I'm not crying over you, i'm over you; I go out with all of my friends, and i'm hardly ever at home, You know things just couldn't be better, I have read it in my horoscope, I might take a walk past your house, for a trip down memory lane, You may see me at your window, standing in the pouring rain, But i'm not crying, i'm not crying, I'm not crying over you, no i'm not crying, I'm not crying, i'm not crying, i'm not crying over you, I'm over you; No i'm not crying, i'm not crying, I'm not crying over you, i'm over you, I'm over you. |

When I'm lying in the arms
Of the woman I love, I'm completely at peace with the world, And the dark clouds around me That often surround me Just fall away into the night, I'm not scared anymore; When I can't sleep at night And I just stare at the moon, Listening to your beating heart, To know that you're with me, And the love that you give me, Keeps me from falling apart, I'm not scared anymore; You are near, you are here; When I think about the ways Of the other world, And all the ones who've gone before, Well I believe they can see us Believe they are with us Hear every word that we speak, I'm not scared anymore, Oooh -- They hear every word that we say, Oooh -- When I have my lover with me, I'm not scared anymore, I'm not scared anymore; When I'm looking at my children And the world where we live, And the violence coming every day, Well I know I'll protect them With the power of my love, To the very last drop of my blood, I'm not scared anymore, Can you hear me, I am near, Can you see me, I am here When I'm lying in the arms Of the woman I love, I'm completely at peace With the world, I'm not scared anymore, I'm not scared anymore, I'm not scared anymore. |

Please give me one more chance,
I'm begging you, just one more chance, If you'll listen... This is not some movie romance, Or everlasting love at a glance, Won't you listen... She is a part of me now, She's the very heart of me now, so... If you really love her, let her go. She's your daughter and I know that you care, But like a lost bird in the cold night air, She is lonely... Thinking back to the days you were young, When the pain of loving was so very strong, Weren't you lonely? She is no longer a child, She's a woman with love in her eyes, so... If you really love her, let her go. Oh she is like a bird, Yearning for the winter wind, If you let her go, She'll come again in springtime, But if you make her stay, And hold her freedom in your hand, In the morning you will wake, And she'll be gone away... She is no longer a child, She's a woman with my love in her eyes, so... If you really love her, let her go, If you really love her, let her go, If you really love her, let her go... |

In a country churchyard there's a preacher with his people
Gathered all around to join a man and woman, Spring is here and turtle doves are singing from the steeple, Bees are in the flowers, growing in the graveyard, And over the hill, where the river meets the mill, A lovely girl is coming down To give her hand upon her wedding day. Dressed in simple white and wearing flowers in her hair, Music as she walks slowly to the altar, And picking up his Bible then the Preacher turns towards her, "Will you take this man to be your wedded husband, to honour and love in the eyes of god above, Now let the peoble sing with me These words to live forever in your heart... Let your love shine on For we are the stars in the sky, Let your love shine strong Until the day you fly away" Many years have fallen on that golden country morning, The graveyard's overgrown, the church lies in ruins, Ivy on the walls and ravens wheeling round above me As I made my way towards the last remaining headstone, I fell to my knees, read the lines beneath the leaves, And suddenly it seemed to me I heard the words like singing in the trees... Let your love shine on For we are the stars in the sky, Let your love shine strong Until the day you fly... Let your love shine on For we are the stars in the sky, Let your love shine strong Until the day you fly... Fly away... |

A candy coloured clown they call the sandman, Tiptoes to my room every night, Just to sprinkle star dust and to whisper, "go to sleep everything is alright;" I close my eyes and i drift away, And to the magic night i softly say, A silent prayer, like dreamers do, Then i fall asleep to dream my dreams of you; In dreams i walk with you, In dreams i talk to you, In dreams you're mine, all of the time, We're together in dreams, in dreams; But just before the dawn, I awake and find you gone, I can't help it, I can't help it if i cry, I remember when you said "goodbye". It's too bad that all these things, Can only happen in my dreams, Only in dreams, In beautiful dreams, Only in dreams, In beautiful dreams. |

There's an angel crying up in Heaven tonight, And I've got the Devil in my heart, Because I keep on saying things that I don't mean, And it's tearing us apart; There's a wild wind blowing in the desert tonight, Oh how I long to feel the rain, And let it wash away these lonely tears, And bring us back again, 'Cos it's a different world when I look into your eyes, You're the nearest thing that I have seen to Paradise, And I know with you I will be in love forever; There's a stranger waiting deep in every heart, To say the crazy things we say, But I promise you he won't be back, To steal your dreams away; So come up close and put your sweet hand in mine, I'm gonna hold you all night long, And if you wake up I will be here, To tell you that I love you; 'Cos it's a different world when I look into your eyes, You're the nearest thing that I have seen to Paradise, And I know with you I will be in love forever, ...forever; Yes, it's a different world when I look into your eyes, You're the nearest thing that I have seen to Paradise, And I know with you I will be in love forever, Yes I know with you I will be in love forever; It's a different world, It's a different world, It's a different world, In love forever; There's an angel crying up in Heaven, Heaven, Heaven... |

The autumn leaves were falling,
On these old cathedral walls, There were candles in the darkness, Singing in the choir, And reading out the names, Of all the ones who've gone before, Well I could tell that you were thinking, About the meaning of it all; And you said to me "Who will open up my eyes, To the wonder, and the glory, and the stars in the sky?" And you said to me "For this road I'm travelling on, I need someone beside me forever, who? Who?" And I said "It's me, and I'm ready to go, Ready to show, that I'll never let you down, And I want you to know, that this power will grow, Every day, every beat of my heart, Forever, forever;" We went down to the river, And we found a small caf, They say that over in the corner, Sat the writer Ernest Hemingway, And here he made his story of the lovers in the war, And through it all they stayed together, Till the rain had to fall; And you said to me "Who will be the one apart, Who will teach me, with conviction, all the ways of the heart?" And you said to me "On this journey of my life, I need someone to love me forever, who? Who?" And I said, listen "It's me, and I'm ready to go, Ready to show, that I'll never let you down, And I want you to know, that this power will grow, Every day, every beat of my heart, I love you, I love you; It's me, and I'll never let you down, And I want you to know, that this power will grow, Every day, every beat of my heart, Forever, I love you, forever." |

Sitting by the window of this broken-down hotel,
Trying to write a letter just to show you that I'm well, But I've been watching all the people as they cross the marketplace, And though there really is no reason, I've been looking for your face, It's such a long way home, It's such a long way home; It's such a long way; Standing by the aeroplane she held me in her arms, And then she whispered "Oh dear Lord don't let him come to any harm"; And as we turned to fly away I saw her standing on her own, It seemed her hand was waving not goodbye but "Please come home", It's such a long way home, It's such a long way home, It's such a long way; Oh so many people have to travel away, From the ones that they love and they need, But I want to tell you that all your life, You can depend on me; Far away a saxophone lingers on a tune, And it's the kind of song that someone wrote for lovers and a moon, And as the band begins to play it, with a shock I realize, That it's a song we sang together and it nearly makes me cry, It's such a long way home, It's such a long way home, It's such a long way home It's such a long way, yes, such a long way home. |

plenty of time to turn out the light,
i want to keep this feeling inside, for a little more, it must be a daddy's pride and joy, a little baby boy, is lying in my arms here tonight; tears in my eyes when i saw you being born, so much emotion, words cannot form, so i'll let it be, only to say it's you and me, for eternity, i wish you a wonderful life, and i'm only, i'm only, i'm only, just a word away; i will be near whenever you call, pick you up whenever you fall, 'till the day will come, but you're not alone, remember that i will be here, and i'm only, i'm only, i'm only, just a word away; your sister rosanna's fast asleep, so it's time for me, to whisper i love you, goodnight, and i'm only, i'm only, i'm only, just a word away, just a word away... |

He was but a traveller on the lonely road of life
She, her name was Mary, A lady of the night She found him lying in that road, on a winter's night so cold, Just another poor boy, treat him right She saw that he was hungry and gave him food to eat She knew that he was weary an he had no place to sleep She took him home to her own bed, she lay down his wounded head And washed away the world from his hands and his knees He was just another poor boy, Just another poor boy When he cried out in his sleep she held him tight Just another poor boy, Just another poor boy And she gave him love and comfort throught the night Till the morning light .. At night she sat beside him, by the fire they would talk He said all men were brothers and that love could conquer all Many gathered round to hear, many for his life did fear In troubled times like these men seldom talk Oh they came for him one morning at the breaking of the day She woke to to hear him calling as they carried him away Accusing him of spreading lies and hate, His public meetings were a danger to the state Some soldier said " Who was he anyway ??" Just another poor boy, Just another poor boy And the tears were falling from her face like rain Just another poor boy, Just another poor boy And they hung him on a hillside far away And on the ground she lay ...Poor boy... Oh, my Lord... Oh my Lord ... Oh my Lord... Just another poor boy, Just another poor boy, And the tears were falling from her face like rain Just another poor boy, Just another poor boy And the hung him on a hillside far away, just another poor boy Just another poor boy, Just another poor boy And she'd never dreamed she'd see his face again .. |

Just in time I heard the cry,
And looking up I saw the snowbirds wheeling in the sky; They said, "We are the last ones left", And so I brought them in , I gave them comfort, gave them rest, Just in time, to live another day, Just in time, oh they'll live another day; Just in time I read the Book, Such a revelation, we must give back what we took, Or the Earth will roar like a wounded beast, The mountains will come crashing from the valleys to the sea, Just in time, oh don't throw it all away, Just in time, don't throw it all away... "Who will save this world of mine, Will you save it just in time?" Just in time, I saw the dawn, Watched the sun arising on a field of golden corn, And through the mist, a million sang, Friends of the Earth, calling out to every man, Just in time, oh don't throw it all away, no, no, no, Just in time, oh we'll live another day... Ooh, how can I tell you how close we have come, That the end of our world has already begun, There are so many things we will not see again, Every day there's another one dying away... Calling for help, Help from your hand, Hand coming down, Down to the world; World it is time, Time for us all, And all that is life, To be living together before everything slips away. |

Kiss me from a distance,
Hold me in your arms, Tell me that you love me, Whisper in the dark The words I long to hear When you are lying in your bed And though you're far away You will be with me here instead. When I hold you in my dreams tonight, when I hold you in my dreams tonight. Kiss me from a distance, Listen to my voice, Soon I will be with you, Standing at your door. The moon and my imagination Shimmer in your head, Your arms are reaching up for me, I slip into your bed. When I hold you in my dreams tonight, when I hold you in my dreams tonight. The moon and my imagination Shimmer in your head, Your lips are reaching up for me, I slip into your bed. When I hold you in my dreams tonight, when I hold you in my dreams tonight. When I hold you in my dreams tonight, when I hold you in my dreams tonight. Kiss me from a distance, (in my dreams tonight), Kiss me from a distance, (in my dreams tonight), Kiss me from a distance, (in my dreams tonight). |

Last night i was walking through the harbour
Where the fishing boats are lying on the shore, The news had travelled fast and everyone went to be Where the mayor was making a speech, And the crowd started cheering When he talked about the glory of it all, And the boys coming home from the war; Last night, they were dancing in the streets And making music in the alleyways and bars, From a house down in the old town came the sound of guitars, Margarita was waiting inside, With her long black hair hanging down beneath the red light, And she smiled, for the boys coming home from the war, The boys coming home from the war; And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine, We were kings in command, we had god on our side, And we said "nothing will make us change in any way, Since yesterday - we're just the same, Since yesterday - nothing has changed, Since yesterday - we're just the same," But i can feel there's a new kind of hunger inside, To be satisfied, i saw it there last night; Last night i was walking through the shadows Far away from all the music and the girls, When i saw a soldier with a woman in black, And they stood without any word, Just staring at a photograph of someone, and she began to cry. For a boy left behind in the war, Some boy left behind in the war; And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine, We were kings in command, we had god on our side, And we said "nothing will make us change in any way, Since yesterday - we're just the same, Since yesterday - nothing has changed, Since yesterday - we're just the same," But i can feel there's this new kind of hunger inside, To be satisfied, i saw it there last night... |

Where the fishing boats are lying on the shore, The news had travelled fast and everyone went to be Where the mayor was making a speech, And the crowd started cheering When he talked about the glory of it all, And the boys coming home from the war; Last night, they were dancing in the streets And making music in the alleyways and bars, From a house down in the old town came the sound of guitars, Margarita was waiting inside, With her long black hair hanging down beneath the red light, And she smiled, for the boys coming home from the war, The boys coming home from the war; And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine, We were kings in command, we had god on our side, And we said "nothing will make us change in any way, Since yesterday - we're just the same, Since yesterday - nothing has changed, Since yesterday - we're just the same," But i can feel there's a new kind of hunger inside, To be satisfied, i saw it there last night; Last night i was walking through the shadows Far away from all the music and the girls, When i saw a soldier with a woman in black, And they stood without any word, Just staring at a photograph of someone, and she began to cry. For a boy left behind in the war, Some boy left behind in the war; And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine, We were kings in command, we had god on our side, And we said "nothing will make us change in any way, Since yesterday - we're just the same, Since yesterday - nothing has changed, Since yesterday - we're just the same," But i can feel there's this new kind of hunger inside, To be satisfied, i saw it there last night... |

from Chris De Burgh - Flying Colours (1988)
i've got leather on my shoes,
and i've got a dream to live, there is nothing left to lose, so i'm going, i've got a suitcase here in my hand, and i've got a hungry heart, and i'm going to join the millions, there before me, on the freedom road; no-one's coming to my door, and all my friends have gone, there's no work here anymore, it's deserted, and though i know i hate to leave, from this land that i love, there's a new tomorrow waiting, yes it's shining on the freedom road, on the freedom road; oh sometimes it's going to be lonely, sometimes it will be sad, but i've got to keep on going, until i hold that promised land, in the palm of my hand; nothing ventured, nothing gained or won, without a hard fight, we would never reach the sun, without trying, and when we're a million miles from home, out in the starry night, we will see we're not alone, in the heavens, out on freedom road, out on freedom road... out on freedom road. |

from Chris De Burgh - The Getaway (1985)
roll away the dawn,
roll away the dawn, and let me see, the land of the free, has anything changed at all; sweet liberty, sweet liberty is in our hands, it's part of the plan, or is it a state of mind? horses and men, horses and men are on the field, they didn't yield, many have fallen here; never forget, never forget what they have done, the time will come, when it will change again, never forget! |

Watch and wait, get ready for the sign
There are many here among us now who have not seen the light We must send the word to all the people in the land Go to every hill and mountain, For the time is now at hand To light a fire! Light a fire! Light a fire! Let us march the road up the rocky hill tonight, Under cover of the darkness We will slip behind the lines And we will take the men who have stolen our land, For the years of domination Hit them right between the eyes And light a fire! Light a fire, Light a fire, They will see through the world! |

from Chris De Burgh - Quiet Revolution (1999)
Living in this fantasy, working with reality,
I have come back here again,to touch the sun and feel the rain, Invitations, conversations,friends to make me strong, I've seen that light, and i watch it shine, living in the world; Well i believe that destiny is written in the darkest sea, With every movement that we make, and every footstep that we take, Inspirations, correlations, where we're meant to be, There's so much more that i want to know,living in the world; Oh-oh still the hunger, oh-oh to see it all, Oh-oh and the wonder of the sunlight in the morning, And the moonlight on the bay, I'm singing now; Oh oh oh oh...oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh, living in the world Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh... Living in the world. Don't believe a word you read, and only half of what you see, 'cos there are those who make it up, just to make that extra buck, And when they write the poison,they will surely get it back, And i'm still here, and i'm gonna stay, living in the world; Oh-oh - in the spotlight, oh-oh - it can be hard, Oh-oh - it's a hotlight, when it's shining on the tough, That's when the tough begin to shine, I'm singing now; Oh oh oh oh...oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh, living in the world, Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, Living in... the world; I've seen the wonder of the forest in the light, I've seen the miracle of winter birds in flight, I've seen the universe come flashing in the night, Living in the world; And when they call me, i will be waiting, when it's time to go, But i'm not ready yet! Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, Living in the world, Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, Living in the world, Living in the world, Living in the world. Living in, living in, living in the world...... |
