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.

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 could 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.

Like December snow
That lays in the wood
You're gone too soon
I knew you should

With October skies
You brought your love
But November came
Taking all I have and
Time, take this sadness from me
Time, bring my heart back safely
Hold on to warm September
'Cause life can be like December snow

With your touch of love
in this Autumn world
The Sun was bright
The songs were heard

And maybe fools like me
Are under your spell
But with leaves that fall
I hear you callin'

Time, take this sadness from me
Time, bring my heart back safely
Hold on to warm September
'Cause life can be like December Snow

Time, take this sadness from me
Time, bring my heart back safely
Hold on to warm September
'Cause life can be like December Snow

Do you remember long ago?
And how we loved when we were children
Let's be like children
This Christmas time

And if you say that you'll be mine
Then all the stars will shine around us
Love will surround us
This Christmas time
(Ahhhh, ahhhh)

I don't need a reindeer
I don't need the snow
Tell me you love me
And I'm ready to go
Out of the darkness, into the light
This is the Christmas where we make it all right
Make it all right

I hear you talking in my dreams
Of nights of love and days of wonder
I still remember each Christmas time

So if you see me on the street
No need ask me what would please me
It's your love, believe me
This Christmas time
(Ahhhh, ahhhh)

I don't need a reindeer
I don't need the snow
Tell me you love me
And I'm ready to go

Out of the darkness, into the light
This is the Christmas where we make it all right
Yeah, don't need the snow
Yeah, I'm ready to go
This is the season of beauty and light
Love, love, we can make it all right
Make it all right

I don't need a reindeer
Don't need the snow
Tell me you love me
And I'm ready to go
Out of the darkness into the light
This is the Christmas where we make it all right

Yeah, people will sing
Sing of the new life and the joy it will bring
This is the season of beauty and light
Love, love we can make it all right
Yeah...
Love, love we can make it all right

'Cause all the world over, the people will sing
Yeah, the joy it can bring

So this is Christmas and what have you done,
Another year over, a new one just begun.

And so this is Christmas, I hope you have fun,
The near and the dear ones, the old and the young.

A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fears.

And so this is Christmas for weak and for strong,
The rich and the poor ones, the road is so long.

And so happy Christmas for black and for white
For the yellow and red ones let's stop all the fights.

A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fear.

And so this is Christmas and what have we done
Another year over, a new one just begun.

And so happy Christmas we hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones, the old and the young.

A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fear.

War is over if you want it, war is over now.

In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind may blow
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen, snow on snow
Snow on snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, long ago
What can I give him?
Poor as I am
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb
If I were a wise man
I would do my part
Yet what I can, I give him
Give my heart
Snow had fallen, snow on snow
Snow on snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, long ago

In the quiet of Christmas morning
In the peace of Christmas dawn
The child that is the future
Will see the earth reborn

When we take our Christmas journey
In the steps that went before
With hands across the water
In the peace forever more

In the quiet of Christmas morning
In the peace of Christmas dawn
The child that is the future
Will see the earth reborn

I saw your picture in the paper
I didn't know your name
But the pain was there for all to see
As the snow turned to rain
I saw your picture didn't know what to do
A lonely face in the crowd
In that moment when the world stood still
And tears lay on the ground
Wherever I go, I will think of you
Whatever I do, whatever I say on this Christmas Day
A silent a prayer on the street
Is it Heaven that has the final word?


With the world at your feet
Wherever I go, I will think of you
Whatever I do, whatever I say on this Christmas Day
On this Christmas day
Wherever I go, I will think of you
Whatever I do, whatever I say on this Christmas Day
Wherever I go, I will think of you, I will be with you
On this Christmas Day
On this Christmas Day

The star of Bethlehem was shining
Across a Palestinian sky
The Church of the Nativity was crying
And we looked on, who can tell me why?
Where are the wise men when they're wanted?
Nowhere to be seen, like thieves in the night
The desert is drifting every closer
The world won't sleep well tonight

Where did the spirit of Christmas go?
Lost in the desert or covered in snow
Where did the spirit of Christmas go?
If you can find it, please let me know

The shepherds are in the fields sleeping
Waiting for a sign to light up the sky
Heaven is moving ever closer
The promise of a child born on high

Where did the spirit of Christmas go?
Lost in the desert or covered in snow
Where did the spirit of Christmas go?
If you can find it, please let me know

Looking for an answer that escapes me (Love set me free!)
If there is a reason let me know (Whoa!)
Drifting slow through time and space not knowing where we are
How did we ever get this far?

Where did the spirit of Christmas go?
Lost in the desert or covered in snow
Where did the spirit of Christmas go?
If you can find it, please let me know

Where did the spirit of Christmas go?
Lost in the desert or covered in snow
Where did the spirit of Christmas go?
If you can find it, please let me know

A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny spark lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A rosy hue settles all around
You've got the feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two, no one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born
It's all a dream, an illusion now
It must come true, sometime soon, somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of love
Still there when the innocence has gone
But we have each other we laugh and we cry
The cares of the world still carry on

Yes, I believe in a better world
And like the rest of us I pray
For peace on this earth and a better life
With every beautiful day

I once met a holy man who showed me the way
The road to tranquility at last
The more he was listening, the more he would say
With the tales of the days of future passed

He said, "Yes, I believe in a better world
And like the rest of us I try
To hold on to hope for a better life
With every day that goes by"

And if we dare to dream of paradise unseen
It might come true and if you stand by me
I swear with all my heart, I'll stand by you

Yes, I believe in a better world
A world where my sisters can be free
And I have a place in my brother's heart
For everybody to see

I dream of my destiny, my days in the sun
To live in the garden of our love
I search for some happiness, I search for my soul
I pray for some strength from God above

Yes, I believe in a better world
And like the rest of us, I pray
For peace on this earth and a better life
With every beautiful day, with every beautiful day

Blue guitar
Fortune of my ways
Making of my days
New chord
Counting up the ways
Happiness is lazy

If you don't know the song
If you can't put the words to the tune
Tell the rhyme from the reason
What should it matter
To the fool or the dreamer


New hope
Travellers in a storm
Finding love is warm
New day
The world has just begun
Our eyes have seen the sun

If you don't know the way
If you can't see the wood for the trees
Taste the wine from the water
Well what should it matter
To the fool or the dreamer

The summer sun is fading as the year grows old,
and darker days are drawing near,
the winter winds will be much colder,
now you're not here.
I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
and one by one they disappear
I wish that I was flying with them,
now you're not here

like the sun through the trees you came to love me
like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
you always loved this time of year
those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
cos you're not here x 3

like the sun through the trees you came to love me
like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

a gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
as if to hide a lonely tear
my life will be forever autumn
cos you're not here x 6

I want to ride the range across those skies of black
I want to see for myself and see me coming back
And when I've gone the distance I'll be making tracks
For an English sunset

We're on a runaway train rolling down the track
And where it's taking us to who knows where it's at
But if we hold together we can make it back
For an English sunset, we want an English sunset

I feel the rhythm of the earth in my soul tonight
May it never fade away and I've decided I can live
With humility and the sad decay
'Cos that's the English way

We keep the faith alive in everything we do
And at the end of the road we still keep coming through
And though it's sad and sorry what else can we do
It's an English sunset, an English sunset

I feel the rhythm of the earth in my soul tonight
May it never fade away
And I've decided they can wait for the requiem
We take it day by day 'cos that's the English way
I saw the English sunset

I really miss you when the nights are long
And only silence is heard in this world of song
But life goes on
And forever more
Ill be haunted by your love

I see you walking through the gates of home
And then I wake up to find
I'm still all alone
I should have known
But forever more
Ill be haunted by your love

Lonely is the river
As it tumbles to the ocean
Searching for our future
We can find our way back home

My only comfort is the love we share
And as I walk through this world
With sadness everywhere
I've had my share
And forever more,
Ill be haunted by your love

And forever more,
Ill be haunted by your love

Standing in the doorway
As the sunrise greets the morning
Searching for our future
We can find our way back home

I really miss you when the nights are long
And only silence is heard in this world of song
But life goes on
And forever more
Ill be haunted by your love

Haunted by your love
Haunted by your love
Haunted by your love
Haunted by your love

I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere somewhere
I know I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you

The mist is lifting slowly
I can see the way ahead
And I've left behind the empty streets
That once inspired my life
And the strength of the emotion
Is like thunder in the air
'Cos the promise that we made each other
Haunts me to the end

CHORUS
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know I'll find you somehow
Somehow somehow
I know I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you

The secret of your beauty
And the mystery of your soul
I've been searching for in everyone I meet
And the times I've been mistaken
It's impossible to say
And the grass is growing
Underneath our feet

CHORUS

The words that I remember
From my childhood still are true
BRThat there's none so blind
BRAs those who will not see
BRAnd to those who lack the courage
BRAnd say it's dangerous to try
BRWell they just don't know
BRThat love eternal will not be denied
BR
BRCHORUS
BR
BRYou know it's going to happen
BRI can feel you getting near
BRAnd soon we'll be returning
BRTo the fountains of our youth
BRAnd if you wake up wondering
BRIn the darkness I'll be there
BRMy arms will close around you
BRAnd protect you with the truth

Isn't life strange
A turn of the page
Can read like before
Can we ask for more
Each day passes by
How hard man will try
The sea will not wait
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry

Wish I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wish I could be in your eyes
Looking back there your were and here we are

Isn't love strange
A word we arrange
With no thought or care
Maker of despair
Each breath that we breathe
With love we must weave
To make us as one
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry

Wish I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wish I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were, and here we are

Isn't life starnge
A turn of the page
A book without light
Unless with love we write
To throw it away
To lose just a day
The quicksand of time
You know it makes me wqnt to cry cry, cry

Wish I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wish I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were and here we are

I keep on wand'ring on the face of this earth
Meeting so many people who are trying to be free
And while I wander I hear so many words
Language barriers broken now we've found the key

And if you want this world of yours to turn about you
And you're the only other person to know
Don't tell me
I'm Just a Singer in a Rock 'n' Roll Band

How can we understand
Riots for the people by the people who are only destroying themselves
And if you see a frightened person who is frightened by the people
Who are (scorching) scorching this earth
(Scorching) scorching this earth

I keep on wan'dring on the face of this earth
Meeting so many people who are trying to be free
And while I wander I hear so many words
Language barriers broken now we've found the key

And if you want the wind of change to blow around you
And you can see exactly what to do
Please tell me
I'm Just a Singer in a Rock 'n' Roll Band

How can we understand
Riots for the people by the people who are only destroying themselves
And if you see a frightened person who is frightened by the people
Who are (scorching) scorching this earth
(Scorching) scorching this earth

Music is the traveller crossing our world
Meeting so many people, bridging the seas
I'm Just a Singer in a Rock 'n' Roll Band (2x)
Music is the traveller crossing our world
Meeting so many people, bridging the seas
I'm Just the Singer in a Rock 'n' Roll Band
We're just the singers in a rock 'n' roll band

From: David cassells

Your love is like a see-saw baby, see-saw
Your love is like a see-saw, baby, see-saw
First it's up and then it's down
It changes so fast, it never hits the ground
It goes up, down, and up Like a see-saw
When you said you'd be my baby, see-saw
When you said you'd be my baby, see-saw
I thought your love was sincere
But at this rate, it won't last a year
It goes up, down and up, like a see-saw
Monday it's a huggin and a kissin
And Tuesday somethin' I've been missin'
Wednesday ev'rything is fine
Thursday you done changed your mind
Friday it's the day we make up
Saturday the day we break up
Sunday things are goin all right
Monday you want to start up fightin'
Your love is like a see-saw baby
Your love is like a see-saw baby
First you're glad and then yo're mad
You're the strangest girl I ever had
It goes up, down and up, like a see-saw

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

Be it sight, sound, smell, or touch,
There?s something inside that we need so much.
The sight of a touch or the scent of a sound,
Or the strength of an oak with roots deep in the ground.
The wonder of flowers to be covered and then
To burst up through tarmac to the sun again.
Or to fly to the sun without burning a wing -
To lie in a meadow and hear the grass sing.
To have all these things in our memories hall
And to use them to help us to find? Ha ha ha!

Ride! Ride my see-saw!
Take this place on this trip just for me.
Ride! Take a free ride!
Take my place. Have my seat. It?s for free!
I worked like a slave for years ?br />Sweat so hard just to end my fears.
Not to end my life a poor man
But by now, I know I should have run.

Run! Run my last race!
Take my place. Have this number of mine.
Run! Run like a fire!
Don?t you run in ?in the *****
Let?s go where the **** pass.
******** but a second class.
School taught one and one is two,
But by now, that answer just ain?t true.
Aah aah aah aah. Aah aah aah aah. Aah aah aah aah aah.
Aah aah aah aah. Aah aah aah aah. Aah aah aah aah aah.

My world is spinning around.
Everything is lost that I?d found.
People, run! Come; ride with me.
Let?s find another place that?s free!
Ride! Ride my see-saw!
Take this place on this trip just for me.
Ride! Take a free ride!
Take my place. Have my seat. It?s for free!
Ride my see-saw!
Ride! Ride!
Ride?my see-saw!
Ride?my see-saw!

I've been thinking about our fortune,
And I've decided that we're really not to blame.
For the love that's deep inside us now,
Is still the same.

And the sound we make together,
Is the music to the story in your eyes.
It's been shining down upon me now,
I realize.

Listen to the tide slowly turning,
Wash all our heartaches away.
We are part of the fire that is burning,
And from the ashes we can build another day.

But I'm frightened for your children,
And the life that we are living is in vain.
And the sunshine we've been waiting for,
Will turn to rain.

When the final line is over,
And it's certain that the curtain's gonna fall.
I can hide inside your sweet sweet love,
For ever more.

Listen to the tide slowly turning,
Wash all our heartaches away.
We are part of the fire that is burning,
And from the ashes we can build another day.

But I'm frightened for your children,
And the life that we are living is in vain.
And the sunshine we've been waiting for,
Will turn to rain.

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

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 fairyland of love
If you'll just come with me
you'll 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

You gotta go where you wanna go
And do what you wanna do
With whoever you wanna do it with
You gotta go where you wanna go
And do what you wanna do
With whoever you wanna do it with

You don't understand
That a girl like me can love just one man
Three thousand miles, that's how far you go
And you said to me, "Please, don't follow"

'Cause you gotta go where you wanna go
And do what you wanna do
With whoever you wanna do it with
Babe, you gotta go where you wanna go
And do what you wanna do
With whoever you wanna do it with

You don't understand
That a girl like me can love just one man
You've been gone a week and I tried so hard
Not to be the crying kind
Not to be the girl you left behind

You gotta go where you wanna go
And do, do what you wanna do
With whoever you wanna do it with
Babe you gotta go, go where you want
And do, do what you want

Babe you gotta go, go where you want
And do, do what you want
Babe you gotta go, go where you want
And do, do what you want
You gotta go, go where you want
And do, do what you want

Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Reflected in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you
Think about me
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams

Once the world was new
Our bodies felt the morning dew
That greets the brand new day
We couldn't tear ourselves away
I wonder if you care
I wonder if you still remember
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams

And when the music plays
And when the words are
Touched with sorrow
When the music plays
I hear the sound
I had to follow
Once upon a time

Once beneath the stars
The universe was ours
Love was all we knew
And all I knew was you
I wonder if you know
I wonder if you
Think about it
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams

And when the music plays
And when the words are
Touched with sorrow
When the music plays
And when the music plays
I hear the sound
I had to follow
Once upon a time

Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Mirrored in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you
Think about me
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams

In your wildest dreams

In your wildest dreams

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

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

All the world over I've searched for a dream
I've found out that life is not what it seems
I've seen all the wonders the world has to give
But all that is real is you.

All of the silver and all of the gold
Seems worthless to me
Lifeless and cold
I've known all the treasure
A man can possess
But all that is real is you.

So bring me back home
My love - my love
Oh how I need you
Take me back home
My love - my love
Oh how I love you.

Even the place where my heart used to fly
The warm summer breeze
The wild seabirds cry
All are illusions and all just a dream
'Cos all that is real is you.

So bring me back home
My love - my love
Oh how I need you
Take me back home
My love - my love
Oh how I love you.

All the world over I've searched for a dream
I've found out that life is not what it seems
I've seen all the wonders the world has to give
But all that is real is you

'Cos all that is real is you.

I want to ride the range
Across those skies of black
I want to see for myself
And see me coming back
And when I've gone the distance
I'll be making tracks
For an English sunset.

We're on a runaway train
Rolling down the track
And where it's taking us to
Who knows where it's at
But if we hold together
We can make it back
For an English sunset
We want an English sunset.

I feel the rhythm of the earth
In my soul tonight
May it never fade away
And I've decided I can live
With humility
And the sad decay
'Cos that's the English way.

We keep the faith alive
In everything we do
And at the end of the road
We still keep coming through
And though it's sad and sorry
What else can we do
It's an English sunset
An English sunset.

I feel the rhythm of the earth
In my soul tonight
May it never fade away
And I've decided they can wait
For the requiem
We take it day by day
'Cos that's the English way
I saw the English sunset.

We ran through the summer fields
Between the earth and sky
Little did we realise
We were flying you and I.

We sang to the stars above
We praised the earth below
You fell into my arms that night
And I've never let you go.

It was beautiful, glorious
We were riding on a wave
With foolish hearts, and foolish love
We would give ourselves away.

Remember how we cried out loud
Heard angry voices shout
I love you as I loved you then
No danger and no doubt.

It was beautiful, glorious
We were riding on a wave
With foolish hearts, and foolish love
We would give ourselves away.

And now as we look behind
To see the road of life
Turning to the ones we love
Salvation is in sight.

'Cos it was beautiful, glorious
We were riding on a wave
With foolish hearts, and foolish love
We would give ourselves away.

Remember how we cried out loud
Heard angry voices shout
I love you as I loved you then
No danger and no doubt.

If we could live forever
Where would our dreams lead us to
Living in a world of ever
Changing expectation

If it could be
If it could be
It would be forever now

If we could be here forever
Where in this world would heaven be
As we race across the universe
In search of confirmation

Why can't it be
Why can't it be
Why can't it be forever now

There's no way out
There is no return
There's no way back
There's no way to learn
The final act
The curtain falls
On the stage
On the stage

Standing at the crossroads
Waiting for the new millennium

For if it could be
If it could be
It would be forever now

If we could live forever
Where would our dreams lead us to
Living in a children's world
Of simple fascination

If it could be, If it could be
It would be forever now

If it could be, If it could be
It would be forever now

For if it could be
If it could be
It would be forever now

If it could be, If it could be
It would be forever now

I really miss you when the nights are long
And only silence is heard in this world of song
But life goes on
And forever more
I'll be haunted by your love

I see you walking through the gates of home
And then I wake up to find I'm still all alone
I should have known
But forever more
I'll be haunted by your love

Lonely is the river as it tumbles to the ocean
Searching for our future
We can't find our way back home

My only comfort is the love we shared
And as I walk through this world
With sadness everywhere
I've had my share
And forever more
I'll be haunted by your love

And forever more
I'll be haunted by your love

Standing in the doorway
As the sunrise greets the morning
Searching for our future
We can't find our way back home

I really miss you when the nights are long
And only silence is heard in this world of song
But life goes on
And forever more
I'll be haunted by your love

Haunted by your love
(repeat)

The way you looked at me tonight
I've never seen that look
In your eyes before
But then again
I don't think I've ever looked
Had the time to spare
The will to share with you

What have I missed
What have I done
I'm gonna turn back the tide
Like it's just begun
Time changes
Time changes
Time changes for the better

After all we've been thro'
Love don't come easy for me

The way you looked into my eyes
I could see the hurt
I saw thro' your disguise
Just give me time
I can make it up to you
Let me heal the pain
I'm scared of losing you

What have I missed
Where have I gone wrong
If I could turn back the time
So we've just begun

Time changes
Time changes
Time changes for the better

After all we've been thro'
Love don't come easy for me
For me

What have I missed
What have I done
I'm gonna turn back the tide
So we've just begun

Time changes
Time changes
Time changes for the better

After all we've been thro'
Love don't come easy for me
Love don't come easy
After all we've been thro'
Love don't come easy for me
Love don't come easy

Fairy tales sometimes come true
Use fairy dust and pixie glue
Then all the love will stick to you
My little lovely.

Always believe and never doubt
That wizards cast their spells about
There's such a lot you won't lose count
If you look closely.

Ripples are like dreams
Searching for the shore
Poured together make oceans roar
Night visions make spirits soar
So choose one wisely.

Not all angels can grow wings
They seem to soar by other means
You can fly although it seems
A little slowly.

Fairy tales sometimes come true
Use fairy dust and pixie glue
Then all the love will stick to you
My little lovely.

Ripples are like dreams
Searching for the shore
Poured together make oceans roar
Night visions make spirits soar
My little lovely.

The dark cloak of winter's war
Left a future still unsure
Sitting in a class
Of the future's past
We saw a list of dates
And we knew we would last
To see them all.

1984 was a year to fear
Hope was dead, a police state here
Halley's comet was to fly by
And we would see a shining in the nighht sky
Now 2001 is soon to come
And just as soon will have come and gone
Nothing changes.

Standing at the crossroads
Of what is, will be, and was
The obvious eludes us
Not because the zeroes line up
We should change our way of thought
More if we do not, the way ahead
Is dangerously fraught
And if we did the things we all know to be right
Left would be the childish fears
Of danger in the night.

We, each of us are fine
For we have all heard the word
But grouped together
Babel's triumph stampedes
The thoughtless herd
Nothing changes.

Nothing changes
And nothing stays the same
And life is still
A simple game.

Walk on the water
Swim with the life tide
Clear away the storm clouds
Oohh ...

You got to
Roll with the punches
Shelter from the weather
Have no fear of the darkness
Sooner or later oohh ...
Sooner or later oohh ...
We'll be walkin' on air

Live for the moment
'cos life is worth living
Love will surround you
Sooner or later oohh ...
Sooner or later oohh ...
We'll be walkin' on air
We'll be walkin' on air

Love is out there waiting for you
Wearing no disguise
Nothing left behind closed doors
It's right before your eyes
So take a walk in the sunshine
Send a message on your online
Then you can do it in your own time
Sooner or later oohh ...
Sooner or later oohh ...
We'll be walkin' on air
Walkin' on air
We'll be walkin' on air

Walk on the water
Shelter from the weather
Clear away the storm clouds
Sooner or later oohh ...
Sooner or later oohh ...
Sooner or later oohh ...
Sooner or later oohh ...
We'll be walkin' on air
Walkin' on air
We'll be walkin' on air

Long time ago, back in the mist of time
Back when the crystal waters flowed
There was a world
So strange and so beautiful
All life would flourish and would grow

Years went by, time just fell away
Love was worshiped like the sun
But as we arrive at the house of the water sign
We're living in strange times

Strange times
Strange times

What do we need
What do we hunger for
Who holds the secrets, who will know

Temples of greed
In ruins on the river bed
Wastelands that lived before the snow

Time stands still
As we race through the universe
On our way to the sun
And as we arrive at the house of the water sign
We're living in strange times

Strange times,
Strange times

It's you and I forever
We won't be afraid
Even if the stars are falling down, down, down, down, down

Falling down

Time stands still as we race through the universe
On our way to the sun
And as we arrive at the house of the water sign
We're living in strange times

Strange times,
Strange times
(repeat)

No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one again

No surprise
You wanna be the one

Heard you had a story to tell
Sold your soul in a kiss and tell
Sliding down on a helter skelter ride
Into yesterday

No way out, the price of fame
Once it's told will you be the same
Rolling down on a roller coaster ride
We'll be waiting for you

No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one again
No surprise
No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one
No surprise
You wanna be the one

Shock the world with your fall from grace
Glory days gone without a trace
No surprise you're a face without a name
But we all still love you

No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one again
No surprise
No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one
No surprise
You wanna be the one

It's time to tell you
We're faithful and true
Take us back to the days
When we could dream
'cos it makes us happy

No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one again
No surprise
No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one
No surprise
No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one again
No surprise
No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one
No surprise
No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one

Time goes by
Seems like the blink of an eye
It's so crazy
What can we do

It's so strange
Life in the really slow lane
Take it easy
That's what we'll do
Just me and you

In the wide outside
See the swallow as he glides
Like a spiral up to freedom

We're all right
Maybe get lucky tonight
Only lovers feel like we do

We take our time
Leave all our worries behind
No more mind games
Simple and true
That's what we'll do

In the wide outside
See the swallow as he glides
Like a spiral up to freedom

Time goes by
Seems like the blink of an eye
It's so crazy
What can we do

It's so strange
Life in the really slow lane
Take it easy
That's what we'll do
Just me and you
That's what we'll do
Just me and you
That's what we'll do

These times have passed and gone
It's time that we moved on
Into a new tomorrow
And leave behind the hurt
The sorrow and the pain
'cos tonight will never
Pass this way again

Wherever you are
Wherever you go
Wherever you stand
Let your shadow show
Whatever you think
Whatever you do
Whatever you want
Let your feelings show

These times have passed and gone
It's time that we moved on
Into a new tomorrow
And leave behind the hurt
The sorrow and the pain
'cos tonight will never
Pass this way again
'cos tonight will never
Pass this way again

Just like the winter sun
That hides behind the dawn
Just like the shifting sands
That ride upon the storm

Tonight will never
Pass this way again
'cos tonight will never
Pass this way again
'cos tonight will never
Pass this way again
'cos tonight will never
Pass this way again

Words you say to me
I listen in sympathy
But I don't know what it is
That makes me ignore you.

I hear you every night
I listen but the words
Don't seem right
My mind seems somewhere else
What else can I tell you?
I don't know what to do
I'm losing you

Something I can't control
You are in my heart and soul.
I don't want to wake up now
I don't want to wake up now
I don't want to wake up now
I don't want to wake up now.

Words you say to me
I'm living in fantasy
If I don't know what it is
I simply ignore you.

I hear you every night
I listen but the time is never right
My life is so confused
What more can I tell you?

Don't turn and walk away
Don't leave this way
Something I can't control
You are in my heart and soul.

I don't want to wake up now
(repeat)

BILLY LEFT HOME ONE MORNING, HE WALKED RIGHT OUT THE
DOOR
HE SAID GOODBYE TO HIS FORMER LIFE, AND HE NEVER CAME
BACK NO MORE
OH BILLY... THERE'S ANGER IN YOUR HEART
OH BILLY... THERE'S MADNESS IN YOUR EYES

HE TOOK HIS FAVOURITE HANDGUN, WITH HIS RIFLE HE FELT
FREE
HE CLEANED THEM ALL THE NIGHT BEFORE, HE WAS ARMED AS
HE COULD BE
OH BILLY... THERE S ANGER IN YOUR HEART
OH BILLY... THERE'S SADNESS IN YOUR EYES

'COS IT'S A SAD WORLD, WHERE THERE'S NO-ONE
WHO CAN REACH OUT, TO THE SOURCE OF YOUR PAIN
YES IT'S A SAD WORLD, SUCH A SAD SAD WORLD
WHEN ONLY PEACE COMES, AT THE END OF A GUN
WHOA.. OH

HE FOUND THE TALLEST BUILDING, LIKE A BIRD'S NEST IN THE
SKY
HE SHED A TEAR AS HE TOOK HIS AIM, AT THE PEOPLE PASSING
BY
OH BILLY... THERE'S ANGER IN YOUR HEART
OH BILLY... THERE'S SADNESS IN YOUR EYES

WELL IT'S A SAD WORLD, WHERE THERE'S NO-ONE
WHO CAN REACH OUT, TO THE SOURCE OF YOUR PAIN
YES IT'S A SAD WORLD, SUCH A SAD SAD WORLD
WHEN ONLY PEACE COMES, AT THE END OF A GUN
WHOA... OH

BEFORE HE PULLED THE TRIGGER, HE KNELT AS IF TO PRAY
AND AT THE TOP OF THE CHURCH HE WILL NEVER BE FOUND
SINCE HE TOOK HIS LIFE THAT DAY
OH BILLY... THERE'S ANGER IN YOUR HEART
AH BILLY... THERE'S SADNESS IN YOUR EYES

'COS IT'S A SAD WORLD, WHERE THERE'S NO ONE
WHO CAN REACH OUT, TO THE SOURCE OF YOUR PAIN
YES IT'S A SAD WORLD, SUCH A SAD SAD WORLD
WHEN ONLY PEACE COMES, AT THE END OF A GUN
YES IT'S A SAD WORLD, WHEN THERE'S NO-ONE
WHO CAN HOLD YOU WHEN YOU JUST NEED TO CRY
AND IT'S A SAD SAD WORLD WHEN THERE'S NO-ONE
WHO WOULD CARE IF, IF YOU LIVE OR YOU DIE
AND IT'S A SAD WORLD, SUCH A SAD SAD WORLD
IT'S A SAD WORLD

ONE MORE ILLUSION SHATTERED
ONE MORE BROKEN DREAM
OH THAT THE MORNING BRINGS THE SUN
GONE ARE THE DAYS WHEN I COULD BOUNCE RIGHT BACK AGAIN
SEE HOW THE TEARS ROLL DOWN
LIKE SWEET SUMMER RAIN
WHERE DOES IT LEAVE ME NOW
I FIND MYSELF SO FREE AGAIN

EVEN THE SMALLEST TRACES
OF YOUR SWEET PERFUME
OPEN THE FLOOD GATES AND I M HELPLESS
NOW AS THE MOONLIGHT SHADOWS
CAST ACROSS MY ROOM
ONLY THE WHISPERED WORDS
ARE HEARD IN THE NIGHT
ONLY A SILENT PRAYER
I LOVE YOU STILL
I ALWAYS WILL

OUT OF THE DARK I STUMBLED
INTO THE LIGHT
ONLY MY FEAR HAS TUMBLED
I THINK I ALWAYS KNEW
THAT I WOULD RUN TO YOU

SOMEWHERE THERE'S CHILDREN PLAYING
SOMEWHERE FAR AWAY
RUNNING WITH OPEN ARMS TO GREET ME
OVER THE HILL THE SUNSET
DIES AND FADES AWAY
I TURN AND I CLOSE THE DOOR
WITH ONE LAST GOODBYE
I WILL RETURN NO MORE
I'LL TAKE MY HEART AND LET IT FLY

LIKE THE CRASHING OF A WAVE
ON THE SHORES OF CONSCIOUSNESS
WE'RE ALIVE AND
WE'RE AWAKE TO THE WORLD
AND WITH THE GIFT OF LOVE WE'RE BLESSED

'COS WE CAN BE
YES, WE CAN BE
WE CAN BE
CHILDREN OF PARADISE
CHILDREN OF PARADISE

IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE
OR THE TURNING OF A PAGE
COMES THE MOMENT WHEN
OUR TIME HAS ARRIVED
WE CAN NEVER BE THE SAME

WE CAN BE
YES, WE CAN BE
WE CAN BE
CHILDREN OF PARADISE
CHILDREN OF PARADISE

AND ALL I KNOW
IS WE'RE STILL CLIMBING UP THAT HILL
AND ALL WE NEED TO SUSTAIN US
IS LOVE OF LOVE
THE LIGHT OF LIFE
AND THE FAITH TO KNOW WE CAN HEAL
LIKE CHILDREN

THROUGH THE VIOLENCE AND THE RAGE
BY THE GRACE OF LOVE BE STILL
AND THE SPIRIT THAT BREAKS FREE FROM THE CAGE
IS THE ONE THEY CANNOT KILL

WE CAN BE
YES, WE CAN BE
WE CAN BE
CHILDREN OF PARADISE
CHILDREN OF PARADISE

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A LONELY HIGHWAY
AS THE SUN WENT DOWN
I HEARD A VOICE RIGHT BESIDE ME SAYING
WHY DON'T YOU TURN AROUND
WHY DON'T YOU STOP - FEEL THE WONDER
LISTEN TO THE SOUND
WELL I HEARD IT - I HEARD IT
I HEARD IT - I HEARD IT

HAVE YOU LISTENED TO THE BELL AT MIDNIGHT
ON THE STILL NIGHT AIR
IT SETS YOU DREAMING OF THE STRANGEST JOURNEY
ACROSS THE GREAT SOMEWHERE
THEN YOU START THE BRAVE ADVENTURE
DREAMS WITHOUT A CARE
WELL I HEARD IT - I HEARD IT
I HEARD IT - I HEARD IT

LIKE LEAVES BORNE ON THE WIND
OUR WORDS WILL FADE AND DIE
ONLY TO RETURN
AS NEW LIFE BY AND BY
THE PASSIONS THAT WE FEEL
LIKE LOVERS WILD AND FREE
ARE FOOTSTEPS ON THE SAND
HOLDING BACK THE MIGHTY SEA
THERE'S A PLACE - A SECRET GARDEN
AND WHEN THE DAY IS DONE
WE LIE AMONG THE GRASS AND FLOWERS
UNDERNEATH THE SUN
AS WE LOOK UP THE SKY IS TURNING
BUT WITH THE EARTH WE'RE ONE
WELL I HEARD IT - I HEARD IT
I HEARD IT - I HEARD IT

THE PASSIONS THAT WE FEEL
LIKE LOVERS WILD AND FREE
ARE FOOTSTEPS ON THE SAND
HOLDING BACK THE MIGHTY SEA
THERE'S A VOICE - THAT CALLS US ONWARDS
DOWN THE LONELY STREET
AND WHEN WE TREAD THE PATH NO LONGER
THE ClRCLE IS COMPLETE
A MILLION SOULS SCREAM IN ANGUISH
AND OTHERS REST IN SLEEP

YOU SAY TO ME - WHY CAN'T IT BE
JUST LIKE IT WAS ONCE BEFORE
WELL YOU LEAD THE WAY AND I'LL FIND THE TREE
YOU CATCH THE LEAVES AS THEY FALL

DON'T YOU KNOW THAT IT'S NOT TOO LATE - THE TIME'S NOT PAST
DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S NOT TOO LATE
AND EVEN THOUGH I TELL MYSELF - ALL IS LOST
SOMEWHERE THERE'S A SPARK OF HOPE .
SOMEHOW THE WORLD KEEPS TURNING
PROMISING A BETTER DAY
SOMEWHERE THE SPARK IS BURNING - AWAY

IF WE WERE FREE - TO DO AS WE PLEASE
WHAT WOULD WE CHANGE - YOU AND I
TO HOLD BACK THE NIGHT - TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT
TO LIVE UNDER BRIGHT BLUE BLUE SKY

DON'T YOU KNOW THAT IT'S NOT TOO LATE - THE TIME'S NOT PAST
DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S NOT TOO LATE
AND EVEN THOUGH I TELL MYSELF - ALL IS LOST
BUT SOMEWHERE THERE'S A SPARK OF HOPE
SOMEHOW THE WORLD KEEPS TURNING
PROMISING A BETTER DAY
SOMEWHERE THE SPARK IS BURNING - AWAY

AS WE LOOK TO THE HORIZON
WAY OUT ON THE SEA
WE SEE THE SUN STILL RISING
JUST FOR YOU AND ME

WHEN WE WERE YOUNG - LIFE WAS SO STRANGE
SO COMPLICATED WE WOULD CRY
BUT WHEN WE GROW OLD
WILL MYSTERY HOLD US BOTH IN ITS SPELL AS TIME GOES BY

DON'T YOU KNOW THAT IT'S NOT TOO LATE

EVERYWHERE I GO I SEE OUR SHAME
EVERYWHERE I GO ALL I CAN SEE IS PAIN
I SEE IT ON THE PAVEMENTS IT'S LYING IN THE STREET
I SEE IT ON THE FACES OF THE PEOPLE I DON'T MEET

EVERYWHERE I GO I HEAR THE SOUND
CRYING IN MY HEAD IT JUST GOES ROUND AND ROUND
I HEAR IT ON THE AIRWAVES, IT'S COMING DOWN THE WIRE
IT'S STARTING TO CONSUME US LIKE A FIRE

BUT I'M ONLY DREAMING, AS YOU CAN SEE
I DON'T EXPECT THAT YOU SHOULD FOLLOW ME
THE ROAD IS LONELY, I DON'T COMPLAIN
IT'S SUCH A SHAME

EVERYWHERE I GO I FEEL THE LOVE
WASHING OVER ME, I JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH
I HEAR IT IN THE MUSIC, THAT'S COMING DOWN THROUGH ME
I KNOW THERE'S LOVE BETWEEN US, IF WE ONLY SET IT FREE

EVERYWHERE I GO I FEEL THE JOY
HOLD IT IN YOUR HEART, DON'T LET IT BE DESTROYED
'COS ALL WE NEED IS FREEDOM, ALL WE ASK IS PEACE
ALL WE ASK IS NO-ONE ON THEIR KNEES

BUT I'M ONLY DREAMING, AS YOU CAN SEE
I DON'T EXPECT THAT YOU SHOULD FOLLOW ME
THE ROAD IS LONELY, I DON'T COMPLAIN
IT'S SUCH A SHAME

'COS ALL WE NEED IS FREEDOM, ALL WE ASK IS PEACE
ALL WE ASK IS NO-ONE ON THEIR KNEES

BUT I'M ONLY DREAMING, AS YOU CAN SEE
I DON T EXPECT THAT YOU SHOULD FOLLOW ME
THE ROAD IS LONELY, I DON'T COMPLAIN
IT'S SUCH A SHAME

LITTLE BROTHER'S GOT A HABIT
THAT HE THINKS HE'S GOT UNDER CONTROL
AND HE'S SELLING ALL OUR LOVE
AND BEST WISHES AS THE HUNGER GROWS
LIVING BY THE SCRIPTURE ON THE SUBWAY WALLS
HE WANT TO BE A REBEL BUT HE CAN'T FIND A CAUSE

HE NEEDS SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
HE NEEDS SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
ALL HE EVER WANTED WAS TO GET AWAY

LITTLE SISTER'S GETTING SERIOUS
WITH A FELLA NEARLY TWICE HER AGE
AND SHE'S AIMING TO MOVE IN WITH HIM
AS SOON AS THEY CAN FIND A PLACE
THERE'S NO GETTING THROUGH TO HER - THERE'S NO OTHER WAY
YOU CAN'T LEARN FROM MISTAKES THAT SOMEBODY ELSE MADE

SHE NEEDS SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
SHE NEEDS SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
ALL SHE EVER WANTED WAS TO GET AWAY

CAUGHT IN THE VOID OF NOHOPE AND NO CHOICE
IT'S A NOBODY WIN SITUATION
WHAT CAN THEY DO IT'S A CATCH 22
IT'S A BREAKDOWN IN COMMUNICATION

MUM AND DAD ARE SO CONFUSED
LITTLE WONDER THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND
LITTLE WONDER THERE'S A WIND OF CHANGE
BRLOWING THROUGH THIS LAND
NOBODY'S GUILTY - IT'S A SIGN OF THE TIMES
BUT WE WON'T SEE THE FUTURE TILL WE OPEN OUR EYES

WE ALL NEED SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
WE ALL NEED SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
WE ALL NEED SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
WE ALL NEED SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
ALL WE EVER WANTED WAS TO GET AWAY

THIS TIME I'MNOT GONNA GO SO CRAZY
I'M NOT GONNA LET IT FAZE ME
I'M BUILDING MY RESISTANCE
BOUND TO KEEP MY DISTANCE

SLOWLY, DETERMINED TO TAKE IT SLOWLY
REFUSING TO LET IT THROW ME
FEELING EVERY FEELING
STARING AT THE CEILING

AND IF IT'S REAL, A HEART WILL KNOW
ALL THE TIME
AND COME THE SPRING, IT WILL GROW
OR DIE UPON THE VINE
BUT IF IT'S LOVE, LOVE WILL COME
KNOCKING AT MY DOOR
I DO BELIEVE IT NOW
SOMETIMES LESS IS MORE

THIS TIME I'M NOT GOING TO STOKE THE FIRE
I'M NOT GOING TO WALK THE WIRE
OH HEART YOU'VE LEARNED YOUR LESSON
LOVE IS NOT OBSESSSION

EASY, I SWEAR THAT I'LL TAKE IT EASY
AND PASSION YOU WON'T DECEIVE ME
I'LL HEAR THE MUSIC PLAYING
HEAR THE SONGBIRD SAYING

AND IF IT'S REAL, A HEART WILL KNOW
ALL THE TIME
AND COME THE SPRING, IT WILL GROW
OR DIE UPON THE VINE
BUT IF IT'S LOVE, LOVE WILL COME
KNOCKING AT MY DOOR
I DO BELIEVE IT NOW
SOMETIMES LESS IS MORE

AND IF IT'S REAL, I WILL KNOW
KNOW THIS TIME
AND COME THE SPRING, IT WILL GROW
OR DIE UPON THE VINE
BUT IF IT'S LOVE, LOVE WILL COME
KNOCKING AT MY DOOR
I DO BELIEVE IT NOW
SOMETIMES LESS IS MORE

I TOOK A WALK
DOWN BY THE PRISON WALL
I DIDN'T KNOW
I COULDN'T SEE
THE SIDE OF THE WALL
I NEEDED TO BE
LOOKED AT THE SKY
LOOKED AT THE CLOUDS
STILL ROLLING BY
WORSHIPPED THE SUN
GIVING IT'S LIFE
TO EVERYONE
YEAH... I WATCHED THE CLOUDS ROLL BY
'COS WE ARE ALL EQUAL UNDERNEATH THE SUN

THAT'S THE WAY...
THAT'S THE WAY OF THE WORLD
THE WAY OF THE WORLD
THAT'S THE WAY...
THAT'S THE WAY OF THE WORLD

I TOOK A RIDE
OVER THE OCEAN WIDE
I DIDN'T KNOW
I COULDN'T SEE
WHO I COULD TRUST
OR WHO TRUSTED ME
I TRAVELLED THE EARTH
TRYING TO FIND
THE GOOD AND THE KIND
I HAD TO CHOOSE
IF I SHOULD WIN
OR IF I SHOULD LOSE
YEAH... I HAD TO CHOOSE THE WAY
'COS WE ARE ALL EQUAL UNDERNEATH THE SUN

THAT'S THE WAY...
THAT'S THE WAY OF THE WORLD
THE WAY OF THE WORLD
THAT'S THE WAY...
THAT'S THE WAY OF THE WORLD
THE WAY OF THE WORLD
THAT'S THE WAY...
THAT'S THE WAY OF THE WORLD

I WAS ONLY A LITTLE BOY WHEN; HEARD THE CALL
LIKE A VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS, THAT CALLS TO US ALL
SO I TOOK TO THE GIPSY LIFE, IN THE CITY OF LOVE
AND I WALKED WITH THE TROUBADOURS
AND FLEW WITH THE DOVES
IN THE CITY OF LOVE

IN THE GARDEN OF PARADISE, I HEARD A VOICE SING
CAN STILL FEEL THE THRILL OF IT, THE CHILLS IT WOULD BRING
FAR AWAY IN THE WESTERN SKY, OVER THE SEA
THERE'S A LAND THAT WE DREAM ABOUT, PEACEFUL AND FREE
WAITING FOR ME

HOLD MY HAND, LET ME TAKE YOU THERE
LET'S GO WALKING IN THE MORNING
AS TIME GOES BY, LOVE WILL WASH US CLEAN
LET LOVE BRING TO US OUR FREEDOM
AND WE WILL SING OF THE HEROES
AND FLY ON THE BREEZE
LOVE WITH THE LOVERS OF THE WORLD
OH OH OH... WE'LL BE FREE

IN THE DARK OF THE MYSTIC NIGHT, MUSIC IS BORN
IN THE HANDS OF THE TROUBADOUR, THE PIPER OF DAWN
AND IT'S HEARD OF A FOREIGN SHORE, OVER THE SEA
IN THE LAND THAT WE DREAM ABOUT, PEACEFUL AND FREE
WAITING FOR ME

HOLD MY HAND, LET ME TAKE YOU THERE
LET'S GO WALKING IN THE MORNING
AS TIME GOES BY, LOVE WILL WASH US CLEAN
LET LOVE BRING TO US OUR FREEDOM
AND WE WILL SING OF THE HEROES
AND FLY ON THE BREEZE
LOVE WITH THE LOVERS OF THE WORLD
OH OH OH... WE'LL BE FREE

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
