Heart and soul took control
Took control of me Paid my dues spread the news Hands across the sea Put me down turned me round Turned me round to see Marble halls open doors Someone found the key And it's only what you do That keeps a-coming back on you And it's only what you say That can give yourself away Underground sight and sound Human symphony Heard the voice had no choice Needed to be free Fly me high touch the sky Left the earth below Heard the line saw the sign Knew which way to go Cos it's easier to try Than to prove it can't be done And it's easier to stay Than to turn around and run It's a blue world It takes somebody to help somebody Oh it's a blue world It's a new world It needs somebody to love somebody Oh it's a blue world Heart and soul took control Took control of me Paid my dues spread the news Hands across the sea Put me down turned me round Turned me round to see Marble halls open doors Someone found the key Cos it's easier to try Than to prove it can't be done And it's easier to stay Than to turn around and run It's a blue world It takes somebody to help somebody Oh it's a blue world It's a new world It needs somebody to love somebody Oh it's a blue world It's a blue world It takes somebody to help somebody Oh it's a blue world It's a new world It needs somebody to love somebody Oh it's a blue world It's a blue world It needs somebody to love somebody Oh it's a blue world |

Never dreamt I would hope
While I count the miles Through the wind and the rain I can see your smile There ain't no turning back I can see it in the distance Got it in my sight Like a vision like a face Coming out of the sky You were there not a dream You were there in my eyes There ain't no turning back I can see it in the distance Touch it through the night Driving into the light When I'm on my own When I'm all alone Won't you meet me halfway Won't you meet me halfway Is it a dream? Is it a dream coming true? Meet me halfway Like a vision like a face Coming out of the sky You were there not a dream You were there in my eyes There are no words to say I can see you in the distance Hear you through the night Ain't no easy way When you're on your own When you're all alone Won't you meet me halfway Won't you meet me halfway Is it a dream? Is it a dream coming true? Meet me halfway |

Once more I've loved I've laughed and I've lost
Now I'm alone left counting the cost Once more sweet child of middling years Basted again in bitter-sweet tears I will survive the solitude But come alive Although the new Somebody tell me you love me Somebody tell me you care I've got a heart full of giving Going nowhere (going nowhere) Daylight will come and steal the night sights Starlight on black replaced with gray light Now I must go and set my best pace Running all day in the human race But now I know the good news Before you win you have to lose Somebody tell me you love me Somebody tell me you care I've got a heart full of giving Going nowhere going nowhere How much longer must I travel on Looking for someone to help me sing my song How much longer will it be I need to find someone For the love From me Somebody tell me you love me Somebody tell me you care I've got a heart full of giving Going nowhere (going nowhere) |

It's a hard life
Never let yourself get down You may never get back You may never ever turn it round You may say it took you by surprise Never ending Never changing I didn't see through your disguise It took my breath away Under my feet The earth shook Under my feet The earth just fell away Under my feet Gave way Did you ever want to take a chance Never thought the time would come round Quite so fast Would you walk right thro' that wall And keep on walking till you Couldn't stand on your feet no more But you came and took me by surprise When you stole up on me I didn't see thro' your disguise It took my breath away Under my feet The earth shook Under my feet The earth just fell away Under my feet - gave way Where were you When I needed you Where were you When I needed you Where were you Where were you - I'm holding on Under my feet The earth shook Under my feet The earth just fell away Under my feet - gave way Under my feet The earth shook Right under my feet Gave way |

Seems the further I fall The deeper my love seems to be And I know that I Never doubted at all That someone was waiting for me Then out of the blue It was over And how did you think I would survive Cos it's cold outside Yes it's cold outside of your heart Cos it's cold outside Yes it's cold outside of your heart I never thought it could happen to me Like the one that gets you That you just don't see And now I don't want to be free I thought it was always to be That someone was waiting for me The longer the shadows Become in my life The colder the breeze seems to be The days roll on by Still I can't quite believe That someone's not waiting for me The flame of desire Is still burning The warmth of your body close to mine Cos it's cold outside Yes it's cold outside of your heart Cos it's cold outside Yes it's cold outside of your heart It's a big world to face all alone And I'm begging you now just to come on home Cos I, I don't want to be free I thought it was always to be That someone was waiting for me You know that it's you I need You see I refuse to believe That someone's not waiting for me |

Time hurries on, look and it's gone
The changing of the autumn tide The hopes that live, the dreams that die If I could have you by my side, I'd give it all away You, you and I, we must hold on, we must try To reach beyond that far off cloud Along the road we're travellin' now If I could only show you how, I need you there with me Oh, running water, don't care what people say We live to love another day Oh, running water, don't throw your love away We live to love another day Time hurries on, turn around and it's gone If only we could hold that dream If only life was what it seemed I know my darling what you mean, I've seen it slip away Oh, running water, don't care what people say We live to love another day Oh, running water, don't throw your love away We live to love another day |

Won't you take me back to school? I need to learn the golden rule. Won't you lay it on the line? I need to hear it just one more time. Oh, won't you tell me again? Oh, can you feel it? Oh, won't you tell me again tonight? Each and every heart it seems, Is bounded by a world of dreams. Each and every rising sun, Is greeted by a lonely one. Oh, won't you tell me again? Oh, can you feel it? Oh, won't you tell me again tonight? Cause out on the ocean of life my love. There a so many storms we must rise above. Can you hear the spirit calling, as it's carried across the waves? You're already falling it's calling you back to face the music. And the song that is coming through. You're already falling the one that it's calling is you. Make a promise take a vow. And trust your feelings it's easy now. Understand The Voice within. And feel a change already beginning. Oh, won't you tell me again? Oh, can you feel it? Oh, won't you tell me again tonight? Tonight? Oh, won't you tell me again? Oh, can you feel it? Oh, won't you tell me again tonight? And how many words have I got to say? And how many times will it be this way? With your arms around the future and your back up against the past. You're already falling it's calling you on to face the music. And the song that is coming through. You're already falling the one that it's calling is you. Each and every heart it seems, Is bounded by a world of dreams. Each and every rising sun, Is greeted by, a lonely, lonely one. Won't you tell me again? Oh, can you feel it?

You can hear the feeling change Like a river running down Down to the sea And if you need an explanation I defy you to explain But something's not the same And it's bothering me I think we see where I went wrong I think I see what's going on Meanwhile and far away As the night draws in He's holding her right now I can feel it all begin Meanwhile and far away When the day is done I ride away, my friend Into the setting sun And the rivers running down Down to the sea I let love slip right through my fingers And I watched it drift away But still I had to say What was written for me I thought I'd end up as the hero Thought the glory would be mine Very soon I was to find It wasn't to be 'Cause in this part I've got to play It doesn't quite turn out that way Meanwhile and far away As the night draws in He's holding her right now I can feel it all begin Meanwhile and far away When the day is done I ride away my friend Into the setting sun And the river's running down Down to the sea |

He?s the apple of their eye?br />He steps into the remaining light ?br />The crowd go wild ?he?s outta sight. Arms held high in a sign of peace. His manager signed a one-night lease. The house is full, getting high! He?s afraid he?s gonna die. He?s the apple of their eye?br />He struts, he strolls, His love is rock and roll. He?s the veteran cosmic rocker!

I took a ride in a limousine, I took a road I'd never been. I met a stranger by the way, His coat was torn but his eyes were clear. Standing in a slide zone, Steppin' in a slide zone. He told me where a river flows, He showed me how the apple grows. He told me of a magic stream, His face was worn but his eyes were clear. Standing in a slide zone, I could be steppin' in a slide zone. Standing in a slide zone, I could be steppin' through a time zone. He went to find a shooting star, Around the bend, that's where they are. I went along just for the ride, Suddenly I began to slide. Standing in a slide zone, I could be steppin' through a time zone. The air raced by there was no sound, We drifted high above the ground. And then he said you know this place, And then a smile lit up his face. Standing in a slide zone, I could be steppin' in a slide zone. Standing in a slide zone, I could be steppin' through a time zone. I turned my head and I looked below, Slide zone... And there was something there I know. Suddenly I began to fall, I looked around and tried to call. Standing in a slide zone, He had me steppin' in a time zone. Standing in a slide zone, Falling through a time zone. Help me please, I thought I said, Then something happened in my head. Music came from all around, And I knew what I had found. Standing in a slide zone, Falling through a time zone. Steppin' in a slide zone, He had me falling through a time zone. Slide zone, slide zone, Slide zone, time zone |

Finding it so hard to explain The way I feel when I hold you near Still it hurts when you cry Maybe you think love has passed you by Don't you know I need you so But I guess you need to know I'm just a man, that's all I am I'm just a man, that's yours I'm yours you know I'm yours Life keeps changing key I'll look to you please look back at me See I'm changing every day Reaching out for happy days But I'm just a man that's all I am I'm just a man I'm yours I'm simply yours Life keeps changing key I'll look to you please turn and look at me You'll see I'm changing every day In my search for happy days But then I'm just a man That's all I am I'm just a man I'm yours That's yours, simply yours See me as I am, for I'm just a man I'm just a man but I'm yours Oh I'm yours I'm simply yours |

People walking Passing me by Shadows of dreams falling out of the blue People talking What can I do Where do I go from here Where do I go from here I could give you any dream and watch it grow I could take you for a ride but you would know I could tell you every answer that I know It wouldn't be much tho' It wouldn't be anything you didn't know But Survival Nothing more than survival Shadows of days hanging endless in time Slowly fading Passing us by Shadows of worlds disappearing from view People asking What could we do? Where do I go from here Where do I go from here If I gave you every dream they would grow If I took you for a ride would you know If I told you every answer that I know It wouldn't be much tho' It wouldn't be anything you didn't know But survival In you love, I have all that I need for survival With your love I have all that I need for Survival With our love we have all that We need for Survival |

One step into the light
One step away from night It's the hardest step you're gonna take The ship to take you there Is waiting at the head Of the stairs that lead up through your opening mind Above the dark despair Shines a light that we can share Close your eyes and look up in between your brows Then slowly breathing in Feel the life force streaming in Hold it there, then send it back to him All the old things are returning Cosmic circles ever turning All the truth we've been yearning for Life is our saviour, saviour, saviour, save your soul The river of living breath Is flowing through the sun He was there before the earth began The world will drag on you Use his love to pull you through Find the mission of your life and start to be All the old things are returning Cosmic circles ever turning All the truth we've been yearning for Life is our saviour, saviour, saviour, save your soul There's one thing I can do Play my mellotron for you Try to blow away your city blues Your dreams are not unfound Get your feet back on the ground The truth will set us free, we cannot lose We cannot love, we just have to choose |

The day we meet again
I'll be waiting there I'll be waiting there for you Cos the years have been so lonely Like a dog without a home It's dangerous when you find out You've been drinking on your own The day we meet again We will walk in peace Thru the garden down the road Where the mist of time is lifting See it rising in the air Like the shadow I was chasing When I looked it wasn't there Oh no But just in case you're wondering What was really on my mind It wasn't what you took my love It's what you left behind And just in case you're wondering Will it really be the same You know we're only living for The day me meet again So hold on - and don't let go Time heals - you know - I know The day we meet again I'll be waiting there I'll be waiting there for you Cos the years have been so lonely Like a dog without a home It's dangerous when you find out You've been drinking on your own The day we meet again We will walk in peace Thru the garden down the road Where the mist of time is lifting See it rising in the air Like the shadow I was chasing When I looked it wasn't there Hold on baby don't let go |

Yes I used to walk the highwire every night
Yes I used to walk the tightrope But it got too tight. I walked the straight and narrow line My head was spinning round I worked without a safety net But it was such a long way down. Yes I used to walk the highwire every night Yes I used to walk the tightrope But you need a head for heights. I walked the straight and narrow rope My head was spinning round I worked without a safety net But it was such a long way down. Oh you might have seen us If we came to your town This game's made for heroes And clowns. Not thinking about tomorrow Living for today I never left a note saying I'm going away. I used to walk the highwire every night Oh I used to walk the tightrope But it got too tight. I walked the straight and narrow line My head was spinning round I worked without a safety net But it was such a long way down. |

I fell in love On a cool clear night Where the grass was green And the moon was bright And you wouldn't believe But I swear I was there And we tasted the dew On the clean night air.

One lonely room
Nobody there Nobody sits In one lonely chair I know the feeling For the first time in my life I should I should have known Better Oh I should I should have known better. One lonely room No footsteps on the floor Nobody needs To answer the door I know the feeling For the first time in my life Oh I should I should have known I should have known better Oh I should I should have known Better. You took the wind right out of my sails You took my train right off the rails You left a car that had no wheels You left some shoes that had no heels You took the wind right out of my sails You took my train right off the rails. |

To hold your body close to mine I get a feeling to come round your house And light the fire and drink some wine I'll keep you safe and warm and free from harm It's understood Oh darlin' Take your worries and lay them on me. And if you need me on a Friday night I'll stay the whole weekend and try We'll solve your problem if it takes all night Even sing a lullaby I'll keep you safe and warm and free from harm It's understood Oh darlin' I'm whatever you want me to be I get a yearning when the sun goes down To hold your body close to mine I get a feeling to come round your house And light the fire and drink some wine I'll keep you safe and warm and free from harm It's understood Oh darlin' Take your worries and lay them on me Oh baby I'm whatever you want me to be Oh darlin' Get your loving and lay it on me. |

Just to see your name in lights We're writing you this letter Because we're with you tonight Your Mama misses you so And your Papa wants you to know That babe We want you to have your say We don't want to stand in your way The last time that we saw you And we heard those curtain calls We held hands and we loved you And we shouted for more Your Mama she misses you so And your Papa wants you to know That babe we want you to have your say We don't want to stand in your way. But call us and say When you're passing this way And let us still know that you care Clean sheets on the bed in your room And a place at the table and in our hearts. Such long way we have travelled Just to see your name in lights We're writing you this letter 'Cos we're with you tonight Your Mama she misses you so And your Papa wants you to know That baby We want you to have your say We don't want to stand in your way. Every night is a first night for someone Someone's making their debut On starry eyes the curtain will rise Every night is a first night for someone Someone's bringing the house down We want you to know They're stealing the show. |

We won't be sleeping on our own tonight
The star that guides us Is still shining bright And in the darkness There will always be a light I think I know now What is wrong and what is right 'Cos I was raised on love Yes I was raised on love And I thank heaven above For being raised on love. Seems like Venus was around my sign She must have been there In that house of mine And when she tells me That I'm on the right track When she tells me There's no looking back 'Cos I was raised on love Yes I was raised on love And I thank heaven above For being raised on love |

They tell me that the sun comes up every morning
They tell me that there's people out on the streets But why is life so cruel They tell me man he tops the list in creation He takes his place as uncrowned king of the world But why is man so cruel He's doin' time Ain't it a crime. Oh Prince of peace We need you now Give us a sign To show us how. Locked in her room the lover mourns her betrayer Seems even love possesses treachery too But how can love be cruel Ain't it a shame He took the blame: Seems this old world Has lost its way On such a torn And troubled day Locked in her room the lover mourns her betrayer Surely not love possesses treachery too But how can love be cruel He's doin' time Ain't it a crime. |

Do you ever get the feeling
That it's all coming true And it's all being realised by you Do you ever get the feeling What was prophesied was true And it's all being witnessed now by you. The faces of the children In the artist's loving hands Are all returning Into sand The waters of the oceans Like the rivers running dry It brings a tear to your eye Don't let Terra die. Do you ever get the feeling That it's all coming true And it's all being recognised by you Do you ever get the feeling Nostradamus told us true And it's all being witnessed now by you. The waters of the oceans Like the rivers running dry It brings a tear to your eye The faces of the children In the artist's loving hands Are all returning Into sand And slipped right through our hands. Do you ever get the feeling. |

And when I tell you that I'll always be around I'll be around And when I tell you that it's true love that we've found It's what we've found The bad times and the good Worries and the fights A man needs a lover that can see him through the night.

When I think of all the things that we've been through
And all the things we've yet to do, I... I start to realize The world is such a lonely place. Want to be with you I remember all the heartaches we have known, The angry nights when we were lonely. The jealousy and pain, Can we remain the same? The world will have to hold its breath. Want to be with you I don't need a reason, I don't need to understand. I just want to be, Want to be with you Only want your love, Only want you by my side, Only want to be, Want to be with you. And when I look back down that road I see the turnings that we both made, The choice we had to make The promises we break Are nothing more than memories. Want to be with you. The jealousy and pain, Can we remain the same? The world will have to hold its breath. Want to be with you. I don't need a reason, I don't need to understand. I just want to be, Want to be with you. Only want your love, Only want you by my side, Only want to be, Want to be with you. |

I'm looking for a better world
Where there's no more hurt, Where there's only hope For the eagle and the dove. I can see your face, Nothing can take your place If we sail away on a river of endless love. I'm living in the hands of time, On the wings of love, On the edge of night, Where there's darkness everywhere. I won't be denied, I'm never going to leave your side, I will always be On the river of endless love In the silence just before the dawn The shadows lose their form. We rise to greet the morning. In the calm that comes before the storm A troubled and a restless heart is born. The river of endless love I'm tearing down the walls of hate, Gonna start again, gonna turn it round, Gonna build it with a prayer. I can always dream And nothing is what it seems. If you lose your way You can always find us there. In the silence just before the dawn The shadows lose their form We rise to greet the morning In the calm that comes before the storm A troubled and a restless heart is born The river of endless love |

Truly and completely, never be apart I think that you should tell me Come right out and tell me Just what's in your heart And if you think that it's alright Let's make a deal and work it out We'll walk into the sunset you and I With no more alibis When we tell each other no more lies Well, truth is my addiction Stranger still than fiction, wider than the sky And songs that have such feeling Words that have such meaning Dreams that never die And if you think that it's alright Let's turn around and start again We'll walk beside the ocean hand in hand With no more alibis When we tell each other no more lies I sometimes think that maybe You're just a little girl You know I love you baby I've got to tell the world So that's the final story The truth in all it's glory See, how much I care You know you drive me crazy Thrill me and amaze me Drive me to despair And if you think that now feels right Let's close the door and dim the light We'll greet the dawn together side by side Just look into my eyes 'Cause you know I'll tell you no more lies |

There's a heart that beats so fast I can feel the heat Of the fire in your eyes, Burning like a naked flame, Waiting for the ice to break, Counting down the days, Waiting for the weekend Lonely is the night. Silence is a friend to walk with, With no one else to talk to. But, on a Friday night, It's alright, it's alright. You can be who you want to be. Take off for the weekend. If you can dance you can dance with me 'cause it's Friday night. It's alright, it's alright. Nothing's gonna stop me now. I'm all wired up and ready to go, I'm on my way. Let's get on with the show Here comes the weekend. Here comes the weekend. Somewhere in the heat There's a heart that beats so fast I can hear your voice: Talk to me tonight. Taking a different face Every time I hear your name. I'm counting down the days Waiting for the weekend Lonely is the night When all are sleeping. Silence is a friend you walk with, With no one else to talk to But, on a Friday night, It's alright, it's alright. You can be who you want to be. Take off for the weekend.

From '63 through to '69 And I'm proud of the things we believed in then If I had the chance I'd go around again Oh, I tell you We were young and free Oh, I tell you 'Cause I was there, you see And I look to the future with open arms And the songs that flow from my old guitar And I want to be there when the music plays And the lights go up on the empty stage Oh, I tell you Music set me free Oh, I tell you It sounds so good to me And if you're into wandering Underneath the stars We'll take the trip together Through this magic world of ours And if you're still uncertain Just what we can be Well baby, make your mind up Get your things and follow me 'Cause if you're into romance, baby Love will find a way And if you're into dreaming Dream with me I remember the sound of the children's prayer The laughing eyes and the golden hair And as hard as I try, not a day goes by That I don't think of them I tell you We can be so free Oh, I tell you If you'll be there with me |

Is that the wind
On your face? Are you sure you're alone? Are you sure you're alone? Feel the chill Of an empty space. Are you sure you're alone? Are you sure you're alone? In the middle of the night Is that your heart you hear Or a train to nowhere, That pounding in your ear? Have you reached your breaking point? Have you reached your breaking point tonight? Only when you're sleeping can you drift away. No one can hurt you. Listen to the secret of your dreams. Though you want to sleep forever Still you must return Hands of ice Down your spine. Are you sure you're alone? Are you sure you're alone? Feel the grip Of a clinging vine. Are you sure you're alone? Are you sure you're alone? In the middle of the night Is that your voice I hear Or the wind that's calling Back across the years? Have you reached your breaking point? Have you reached your breaking point tonight? |

I closed the door and I walked away
From the life I knew on a night in June I took a chance and I lost control Trying to find out why on a night in July Why this hesitation? I can feel that the night is slipping away Wanna drown in the ocean of your love Wanna dance in the moonlight Looking for a miracle Looking for a miracle I left the city on a wave of despair Just to stand on my own on an August night From the valley of broken hearts Gonna make a new start in September Why this confusion? I can feel that the night is slipping away Wanna walk from the shadows to the sun Just to dream on a summer night Dream about a miracle Looking for a miracle Never had the chance before To turn the tide my way In the heat of the summer night You took my breath away Looking for a miracle Wanna walk from the shadows to the sun Just to dream on a summer night Dream about a miracle Your love is just a miracle I closed the door and I walked away From the life I knew on a night in June I took a chance and I lost control Trying to find out why on a night in July Why this hesitation? I can feel that the night is slipping away Wanna drown in the ocean of your love Wanna dance in the moonlight Looking for a miracle Dream about a miracle Your love is just a miracle Looking for a miracle Your love is just a miracle Looking for a miracle Your love is just a miracle Looking for a miracle Your love is just a miracle |

Beating on my roof again, I want to taste your love And I want to go deep, deep I want to go deep, deep I want to go deep Every time I lift my eyes to the sky Something in my heart asks why I want to know the truth And I want to go deep, deep I want to go deep Like the footprints Disappearing from the sand I try to catch the thought It slips right through my hand And as the darkness Throws it's cloak upon the ground I start to run to you I've got to take you down I want to go deep, deep I want to go deep, deep I want to go deep Every time I feel I'm loosing my way The power of your love remains I want to touch your love And I want to go deep, deep I want to go deep, deep I want to go deep, deep I want to go deep |

Cold-hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colors from our sight, Red is gray and yellow white, But we decide which is right, And which is an illusion. Pinprick holes in a colorless sky, Let insipid figures of light pass by, The mighty light of ten thousand suns, Challenges infinity and is soon gone. Nighttime, to some a brief interlude, To others the fear of solitude. Brave Helios, wake up your steeds, Bring the warmth the countryside needs. |

A beautiful ceiling The smell of grass Just makes you pass Into a dream You're here today No future fears This day will last A thousand years If you want it to You look around you Things they astound you So breathe in deep You're not asleep Open your mind You're here today No future fears This day will last A thousand years If you want it to Do you understand That all over this land There's a feeling In minds far and near Things are becoming clear With a meaning Now that you're knowing Pleasure starts flowing It's true life flies Faster than eyes Could ever see You're here today No future fears This day will last A thousand years If you want it to |

Children sighing,
What a day to go kite flying. Breeze is cool, Away from school Cowboys fighting out a duel. Time seems to stand quite still, In a child's world it always will. Fish is biting, So exciting! Lunchtime sounds so inviting. At the bill He gets a thrill Sitting, watching bobbing quill. Time seems to stand quite still, In a child's world it always will. Yesterday's dreams Are tomorrow's sighs. Watch children playing, They seem so wise. Mary Green Today's a queen One thousand dollies are her dream. In cotton frocks And golden locks, Her palace is an orange box Time seems to stand quite still, In a child's world it always will. |

Peak hour, peak hour, peak hour Minds are subject to what should be done Problem solved, time cannot be won One hour a day One hour at night Sees crowds of people Home in full flight Peak hour, peak hour, peak hour It makes me want to run out and tell them They've got time Take a step back out and look in I found out I've got time Minds are subject to what should be done Problem solved, time cannot be won One hour a day One hour at night Sees crowds of people Home in full flight Peak hour, peak hour, peak hour |

I'm just beginning to see Now I'm on my way It doesn't matter to me Chasing the clouds away Something calls to me The trees are drawing me near I've got to find out why Those gentle voices I hear Explain it all with a sigh I'm looking at myself, reflections of my mind It's just the kind of day to leave myself behind So gently swaying through the fairy-land of love If you'll just come with me and see the beauty of Tuesday afternoon Tuesday afternoon Tuesday afternoon I'm just beginning to see Now I'm on my way It doesn't matter to me Chasing the clouds away Something calls to me The trees are drawing me near I've got to find out why Those gentle voices I hear Explain it all with a sigh |

(Evening: Time to Get Away)
Evening has come to pass, The time of day doesn't last. Evening, has earned its place today, I'm tired of working away. Working, living it brings, Only way to have those things. Toiling has bought too many tears, Turn 'round all those past years. Evening time to get away. Evening time to get away. Evening time to get away. 'Til next day. Live all you people, You can't see where you're at, It doesn't really hurt you, So that can't be bad. (repeat) Evening time to get away. Evening time to get away. ----- (Evening: The Sun Set) When the sun goes down, and the clouds all frown, Night has begun for the sunset. See it with your eyes, Earth's re-energized By the sun's rays everyday. Take a look out there, planets everywhere. When the sun goes down, and the clouds all frown, Night has begun for the sunset. Shadows on the ground, never make a sound, Fading away in the sunset. Night has now become day for everyone. I can see it all, from this great height, I can feel the sun, slipping out of sight. And the world still goes on through the night. ----- (Evening: Twilight Time) Twilight time to dream awhile, In veils of deepening blue. As fantasy strides, over colourful skies, Of form disappearing from view. In twilight time, dream with me awhile. A nightingale plays a dark mellow phrase, Of notes that are rich and so true. An aerial display by the firefly brigade, Dancing to tunes no one knew. In twilight time, dream with me awhile. In twilight time, dream with me awhile. Building castles in the air, Whistling to the wind. As nature bows down her head, See what tomorrow brings. In twilight time, dream with me awhile. Bats take to wing like puppets on string, Prancing through cool evening air. In a sightless glide, no reason to hide Away from the sun's blinding stare. In twilight time, dream with me awhile. In twilight time, dream with me awhile. |

Nights in white satin never reaching the end
Letters I've written never meaning to send Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before Just what the truth is I can't say any more Cause I love you Yes I love you Oh how I love you Gazing at people some hand in hand Just what I'm going through they can't understand Some try to tell me thoughts they cannot defend Just what you want to be you'll be in the end And I love you Yes I love you Oh how I love you, oh I love you |

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door With a thousand million questions About hate and death and war? 'Cause when we stop and look around us There is nothing that we need In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed Why do we never get an answer When we're knocking at the door Because the truth is hard to swallow That's what the war of love is for It's not the way that you say it When you do those things to me It's more the way that you mean it When you tell me what will be And when you stop and think about it You won't believe it's true That all the love you've been giving Has all been meant for you I'm looking for someone to change my life I'm looking for a miracle in my life And if you could see what it's done to me To lose the love I knew Could safely lead me through Between the silence of the mountains And the crashing of the sea There lies a land I once lived in And she's waiting there for me But in the grey of the morning My mind becomes confused Between the dead and the sleeping And the road that I must choose I'm looking for someone to change my life I'm looking for a miracle in my life And if you could see what it's done to me To lose the love I knew Could safely lead me to The land that I once knew To learn as we grow old The secrets of our soul It's not the way that you say it when you do those things to me It's more the way you really mean it when you tell me what will be Why do we never get an answer When we're knocking at the door With a thousand million questions About hate and death and war 'Cause when we stop and look around us There is nothing that we need In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed ..... Why do we never get an answer When we're knocking at the door |

How is it we are here, on this path we walk,
In this world of pointless fear, filled with empty talk, Descending from the apes as scientist-priests all think, Will they save us in the end, we're trembling on the brink. Men's mighty mine-machines digging in the ground, Stealing rare minerals where they can be found. Concrete caves with iron doors, bury it again, While a starving frightened world fills the sea with grain. Her love is like a fire burning inside, Her love is so much higher it can't be denied, She sends us her glory, it's always been there, Her love's all around us, it's there for you and me to share. Men's mighty mine-machines digging in the ground, Stealing rare minerals where they can be found. Concrete caves with iron doors, bury it again, While a starving frightened world fills the sea with grain. How is it we are here How is it we are here How is it we are here |

I've been searching for my dream
A hunderd times today I build them up, you knock them down, Like they were made of clay, Then the tide rushes in And washes my castles away. Then I'm really not so sure When side of the bed I should lay, I should lay... You keep looking for someone To tell your troubles to, I'll sit down and lend an ear Yet I hear nothing new. Then the tide rushes in And washes my castles away. Then I'm really not so sure When side of the bed I should lay, I should lay... Blackbird sitting in a tree Observing what's below Acorns falling to the ground, He'll stay and watch them grow. |

Ask the mirror on the wall
Who's the biggest fool of all, Bet you feel small, It happens to us all. See the world Ask what's it for, Understanding, nothing more, Don't you feel small, It happens to us all. Time is now to spread your voice, Time's to come there'll be no choice, Why do you feel small, It happens to us all. Look at progress, Then count the cost, We'll spoil the seas With the rivers we've lost. See the writing on the wall, Hear the mirror's warning call. That's why you feel small, It happens to us all. Ask the mirror on the wall Who's the biggest fool of all, Bet you feel small, It happens to us all. |

You know he's moving fast,
Be he's still going slow, He's ahead in the race, And there is not far to go, And your load is so heavy And your legs want to rest. It's all right, it's all right, it's all right. You think he's way up in front But he's so far behind. He's asleep in the grass, And he's run out of time. While your load was so heavy You never wanted to stop. It's all right, it's all right, it's all right. Your friend is heavy But he was ready And never stopped for a while And while you were sleeping He went on keeping the final line in his mind. It's all right, it's all right, it's all right. It's all right, it's all right, it's all right. Your friend is heavy But he was ready And never stopped for a while And while you were sleeping He went on keeping the final line in his mind. It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.

When the breeze between us calls, love comes and lingers into our
lives, And the leaves begin to fall, you point your finger at me. I love you- I love you- In the sadness of your smile love is an island way out to sea, But it seems so long ago we have been ready trying to be free. And it's up to you, Why won't you say? Make our lives turn out this way. If they knew, that we have got nothing to lose, No reason to hide from what's true. In the world of me and you All is forgotten when we're inside And the words that pass us by, I am not listening, all of it's lies. And it's up to you, Why won't you say? Make our lives turn out this way. If they knew, that we have got nothing to lose, No reason to hide from what's true, That we have got nothing to lose. |

Words a simple song
A minstrel sings A way of life in his eyes Hear the morning call of waking birds When they are singing, bringing Love - love. Everywhere love is all around, Everywhere love is all around. Now the winter's gone Cold wind has blown The endless stream in our lives Where the minstrel sings This simple song He's always bringing, singing, Love - love. Everywhere love is all around, Everywhere love is all around. Listen to the one Who sings of love. Follow our friend, Our wandering friend, Listen to the one, Who sings of love. Everywhere love is around, Around, around. Here the nations sing Our minstrel's song, As he walks by in their lives Soon the spring will come, And everyone will all be singing, bringing Love - love Everywhere love is all around, Everywhere love is all around. Listen to the one Who sings of love. Follow our friend, Our wandering friend, Listen to the one, Who sings of love. Everywhere love is around, Around, around. |

Rise, let us see you,
Dawning is the day, Miss, misty meadow, You will find your way, Wake up in the morning to yourself and leave this crazy life behind you. Listen, we're trying to find you. Flow to the sea, You know where to go, Still we are free, No one tells the wind which way to blow. Wake up in the morning to yourself, Open your eyes and start to be you. Listen, we think we can see you. Baby there's no price upon your head, Sing it, shout it. Now the angry words have all been said. Do it, don't doubt it. So rise, let us see you, Dawning is the day, Miss, misty meadow, You will find your way, Wake up in the morning to yourself, open your head and look around you. Listen, we think we have found you. |

After he had journeyed,
And his feet were sore, And he was tired, He came upon an orange grove And he rested And he lay in the cool, And while he rested, he took to himself an orange and tasted it, And it was good. And he felt the earth to his spine, And he asked, and he saw the tree above him, and the stars, And the veins in the leaf, And the light, and the balance. And he saw magnificent perfection, Whereon he thought of himself in balance, And he knew he was. Just open your eyes, And realize, the way it's always been. Just open your mind And you will find The way it's always been. Just open your heart And that's a start. And he thought of those he angered, For he was not a violent man, And he thought of those he hurt For he was not a cruel man And he thought of those he frightened For he was not an evil man, And he understood. He understood himself. Upon this he saw that when he was of anger or knew hurt or felt fear, It was because he was not understanding, And he learned, compassion. And with his eye of compassion. He saw his enemies like unto himself, And he learned love. Then, he was answered. Just open your eyes, And realize, the way it's always been. Just open your mind And you will find The way it's always been. Just open your heart And that's a start. |

(So many people, so many people) Pining for someone who really cares enough to share his love With all of us so we can be An ever-loving family Have we forgotten who loves who? (So many people, so many people) Children from a family tree That's longer than a centipede Started long ago when you and I Where only love...

And I've got love enough for three I have my hopes to comfort me I got my new horizons out to sea But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift It will always be that way 'Cos I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind Someday Where is this place that we have found?

My boat sails stormy seas
나의 보트는 폭풍속의 바다를 항해합니다. Battles oceans filled with tears 눈물로 채워진 대양들을 헤쳐나가지요 At last my port's in view 드디어 저 앞에 항구가 보이고 Now that I've discovered you 나는 당신을 발견했습니다. Oh I'd give my life so lightly 내 인생을 기꺼이 드리겠어요 For my gentle lady 나의 우아한 여인을 위해 Give it freely and completely 아낌없이 전부 드리겠어요 To my lady 나의 여인에게 As life goes drifting by like a breeze 인생이 미풍처럼 흘러갈 때 She'll gently sigh and slowly bow her head 그녀는 부드럽게 한숨을 내쉬고 고개를 천천히 숙입니다 Then you'll hear her softly cry 그리고 당신은 나지막한 그녀의 울음소리를 들을 수 있어요 Words that you say when we're alone 우리가 외로울 때 당신은 Though actions speak louder than words 말보다는 행동이 효과적이라고 말했습니다만, But all I can say is I love you so To drive away all my hurt 그러나 내가 말할 수 있는 단 하나 당신을 너무 사랑한다는 말입니다. Set sail towards the sun 태양을 향해 항해하며 Feel the warmth that's just begun 따뜻함을 느낍니다 Share each and every dream 꿈을 나누어요 They belong to everyone 그 꿈들은 모두의 것입니다. |

There's a leafless tree in Asia.
Under the sun there's a homeless man. There's a forest fire in the valley Where the story all began. What will be our last thought? Do you think it's coming soon? Will it be of comfort Or the pain of a burning wound? All we are trying to say Is we are all we've got. You and me just cannot fail If we never, never, stop. You're an ocean full of faces, And you know that we believe. We're just a wave that drifts around you, Singing all our hopes and dreams. We look around, in wonder, At the work that has been done. By the visions of our father, Touched by his loving son. All we are trying to say Is we are all we've got. You and me just cannot fail If we never, never, stop. All we are trying to say Is we are all we've got. You and me just cannot fail If we never, never, stop. You and me just cannot fail If we never, ever, never, ever, stop... |

Like the rose that blooms in the wintertime
As it reaches up through the snow The more life keeps apart The more love will grow Like the seed that grows in the darkness As it reaches up to the sun I will always reach out for you 'Cause you are the one I bless the wings that bring you Back across the shore If I could touch you now, my darling And love you just once more If I could hold you Hold you, hold you I know you'd understand I know you'd understand As I cross the bridge by the waterfall As I make my way by the stars There's a shadow walking beside me Here in my heart Like the restless wind in the tree tops Like a whispered voice in my ear I will always be there for you I'll always be here I bless the wings that bring you Back across the shore If I could touch you now, my darling And love you just once more If I could hold you Hold you, hold you I know you'd understand I know you'd understand In a far off wonderland That flashes past my eyes The kiss of inspiration that was mine The dust of many centuries Has blown across this land But love will not be scattered by the sand Like the sunrise over the mountainside Like the bird that has to be free There's a part of you That will always be part of me I bless the wings that bring you Back across the shore If I could touch you now my, darling And love you just once more If I could hold you Hold you, hold you I know you'd understand I know you'd understand I know you'd understand I know you'd understand |

Walking home with you last night
You said the world is beautiful And how things look that way when you're Love I love this world When I'm in your arms Is this heaven? I opened up the letter that the Postman gave to me this morning Had to stop myself from shouting out "I love this world" When I'm in your arms Is this heaven? When I'm in your arms Is this heaven? I know that heaven waits For those whose love is true I want to be there when The age love is come again Tell me all about yourself And how you came to me like in a dream And every night I dream of you I dream of you When I'm in your arms Is this heaven? When I'm in your arms Is this heaven? I know that heaven waits For those whose love is true Don't ask me where or when The time for us will come again I sit and watch the sun go down And in the darkness there's no sound While in the sky tonight the stars all cry "I love You" Are they crying out over you 'cause you're in my heart Is this heaven? 'cause the story starts and ends with you ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By JUSTIN HAYWARD, J LODGE Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group |

Lean on me
I'll be there Whenever you need someone To share in every prayer In every dream You've left somewhere 'Till tomorrow Will be just like it was when we were young 'Cause tonight I'm gonna take you where I've never taken you before Lean on me I'm every where Where ever you look I'll be Forever yours The northern lights The southern cross I'll give to you 'Till tomorrow Will be just like it was when we were young 'Cause tonight I'm gonna take you where I've never taken you before If you're lonely You know where you can find me You know there's no escape when you are on your own And if you're worried And you can see your world slip through your fingers I'll reach out for you in my heart There's no more dancing in the dark You're not alone Tomorrow Will be just like it was when we were young 'Cause tonight I'm gonna take you where I've never taken you before Will be just like it was when we were young Tonight I'm gonna take you where I've never taken you before Will be just like it was when we were young |

I see the headlights
Shining on the wall It seems, I've got a visitor Who is kind enough to call And I hope and pray, everyday I hope and pray, it's you I thought I heard some footsteps On the floor And tell me, am I dreaming Or is someone at the door? And I hope and pray, everyday I hope and pray, it's you Autumn turns to winter And winter turns to spring I only know the passing Of the days And if you were to ask me 'Bout the meaning of my life It kind of lost it's meaning On the day you went away You know that when it comes To matters of the heart I thought I had it covered But it's tearing me apart And I hope and pray, everyday I hope and pray, it's you Autumn turns to winter And winter turns to spring The summer sun still lingers In my head If it wasn't for the letters That you wrote me from the heart I'd sometimes wonder, baby If I dreamed it all instead You see, I've got to feel your hand Upon my face I need to get the calling To rejoin the human race And I hope and pray, every day I hope and pray, it's you I hope and pray, every day I hope and pray, it's you, yeah Yeah, I hope and pray, every day I hope and pray, it's you |

When the fantasy we live in
Lies in pieces on the ground And there is no false illusion That can turn your heart around Nothing can change the way I feel Nothing can take your love from me If only I didn't worry If only I could see If only I could see Chasing shadows on the wall Chasing shadows as they dance on the floor Chasing dreams that were forever young Now I'm on my own Chasing shadows on the wall Shadows on the wall On the sea of mediocrity Drifting from a distant shore No goodbyes no celebration No-one there to close the door Only the silence that I feel Only the lonely road is real If only I didn't loose you If only we could be If only we could be Chasing shadows on the wall Chasing shadows as they dance on the floor Chasing dreams that were forever young Now I'm on my own Chasing shadows on the wall Shadows on the wall Chasing shadows on the wall Chasing shadows as they start to fall Chasing dreams that were forever young Chasing shadows on the wall Chasing shadows on the wall Chasing shadows as they dance on the floor Chasing shadows on the wall |

Just ask me once
Don't ask me twice Never ask me three times I don't give that much advice I took my chance at the first opportunity To wander through this world And to do what comes so naturally Once is enough Just ask me once Once is enough Just ask me once Sometimes you're first Sometimes you're last Then again you're somewhere In your "days of future passed" If you can find yourself and know just where you are Don't let the wind turn you You're stronger than you think you are Once is enough Just ask me once Once is enough Just ask me once Once I was rich Once I was poor Once I was no-one I ain't no-one anymore Once in a lifetime there's a chance that comes your way Take it with both your hands and be somebody for a day Once is enough Just ask me once Once is enough Just ask me once |

Celtic Sonant
Deep peace of the running wave to you Deep peace of the flowing air to you Deep peace of the quiet earth to you Deep peace of the shining star to you Deep peace of the son of peace to you One man stood firm guarding cups overflowing Brimful of memories and yesterday's dreams He could never explain his own silent thunder The ocean just blows rough at this time of year And the wheel keeps on turning The wheel keeps on turning The wheel keeps on turning Turning around Words left unsaid may have special meanings Dust hidden pages fill the books left unread One blank page left the poet crying He failed to remember there's a price on his head And the wheel keeps on turning The wheel keeps on turning The wheel keeps on turning Turning around Away we sail with all our flags flying Too many changes can cause us to delay Each star in the sky is there for a reason Making it so bright for this time of day And the wheel keeps on turning The wheel keeps on turning The wheel keeps on turning This fool made it round |

When I look in your eyes
I can't see why There's no reflection of me When I look in your heart Let it be the start Work your magic on me When I look in your eye I can't see why It's all a mystery to me When I ask you to look inside and tell me why Nothing can change what will be Baby work your magic on me Baby work your magic on me I'm in a state of permanent confusion Without your love Without your love Baby work your magic on me When I look in your mind Is there a reason why It's all an illusion to me I was lost in the game That only two can play When you work your magic on me Baby work your magic on me Baby work your magic on me I'm in a state of permanent confusion Without your love Without your love Baby work your magic on me What kind of love is this you're talking about It's got no reason got no easy way out What kind of love as got a hold of me What kind of love What kind of love What kind of love Baby work your magic on me When I look in your eye I can see why There's no reflection of me I should have known from the start That you would steal my heart If you work all your magic on me Baby work your magic on me Baby work your magic on me I'm in a state of permanent confusion Without your love Without your love I know I want to be with you tonight Baby work your magic on me |

Sailing along
The river of time Adrift on dreams Through midnight chimes Positively frozen Crystal Waterfalls The mountain of hope Is there to be climbed The sea of serenity Is rightfully mine Step on to the water Knowing what is true Never blame the rainbows for the rain And learn to forget the memories That cause you pain The last whispered wish of age Is to live it all again So never blame the rainbows for the rain The beat of my heart The rhythm of love The earth that's beneath us The heavens above I can hear forever Calling out to me The changes we go though Are making me strong The shelter of friendship Is where we belong Look into the future Knowing what we see Never blame the rainbows for the rain And learn to forget the memories That cause you pain The last whispered wish of age Is to live it all again So never blame the rainbows for the rain The whirlpool of doubt Can spin you around The wave of emotion Takes you up Pulls you down Leaving far behind us Sweet young passions spray Never blame the rainbows for the rain And learn to forget the memories That cause you pain The last whispered wish of age Is to live it all again So never blame the rainbows Never blame the rainbows Never blame the rainbows for the rain |

Breathe deep the gathering gloom,
Watch lights fade from every room. Bedsitter people look back and lament Another day's useless energy is spent. Impassioned lovers wrestle as one; Lonely man cries for love and has none; New mother picks up and suckles her son; Senior citizens wish they were young. Cold-hearted orb that rules the night Removes the colours from our sight, Red is grey is yellow white But we decide which is right And which is an illusion |
