Just like the driftwood of a dream
Left of the seashore of sleep Just like the words that wouldn't rhyme Lost in the desert of time Time waits for no one at all No, not even you You thought you'd seen it all before You really thought you knew I don't remember what was said In the confusion that night I only know what's on my mind What's in the future we will decide Time waits for no one at all No, not even you You thought you'd seen it all before You really thought you knew I've shattered the illusion Of fortune and of fame But darling now I know you Life could never be the same Oh no... don't leave me driftwood On the shore Time waits for no one my love No, not even you You thought you'd seen it all before You really thought you knew I've shattered the illusion Of forture and of fame I'm waking up I'm reaching up I'm getting up from this game Oh no... don't leave me driftwood On the shore Oh no... don't, don't leave me driftwood On the shore... |

What mattered to me was the right to be free
Like I'll be someday I'm waiting for my heart to lead the way The places I've seen and the roads in between Make me wonder why I'm searching for my dreams up in the sky I heard the call In the mirror I saw the writing on the wall And I had to fall in love with you The face that I've known seems so lost and alone When you're far away I'm comin' for you baby right away The places I've seen and the roads in between Make me wonder why I'm searching for me dreams up in the sky I heard the call In the mirror I saw the writing on the wall And I had to fall in love with you What mattered to me was the right to be free Like I'll be someday I'm waiting for my heart to lead the way |

Little guy, little hands, little eyes and lots of time
What you gonna be what you gonna see When your eyes are level with mine I'll be level with you I don't know what I would do If I had to face the things that you've got coming down the line Lots of luck, lots of health, lots of wealth, little pain That's what I want for you but there's little I can do To put you on the gravy train I'll be level with you You'll always end up coming through But you'll find yourself lost in space now and again But you have to have a world you can live in Not a world where all the hope is gone And as long as we are here together We must build a home for the free Filled with pity Not pain That's loving and sane Not divided by hate And living in spite 'Til it's too late Life is here Love will come in the end give it time There's wonders still to do and I know you'll find it's true That yours will be bigger than mine I'll be level with you The one thing I hope you will do is tell me about what You're doing from time to time |

Here I go again
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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

Rain on the river turns the torrent to a flood
Swim or you'll never rise above Two lonely people can mend a broken heart Love and you'll never fall apart But can you tell me why? They made a good bowl of chili at the jazz club They played a good game of football in Mucron They ripped everyone off at the top rank, babe If you could ever get into their suite Avenue, Tombola and Social We just drove right on by We was on our way to the big time, babe To the great gold record in the sky Sun in the morning brings the flowers from a bud Hail to the giver, life and love Two lonely people can mend a broken heart Love and you'll never fall apart But can you tell me why?

The dawn crept into by room
And stole my dream Now I'll never know Just what it means Or what could have been Yet still I try to lie But I'm seen Under moonshine that's where I've been Under moonshine I'm clearly seen Under moonshine that's where I've been Under moonshine I'm clearly seen Creator of dreams that melt with the sun I'll send you the things this man has done He was a saint and a sinner rolled in one But I miss now that he's gone I sure miss him now that he's gone Sure I feel the pain Deep inside I pour like rain Remember when you smile Love's in your eyes The world keeps turning The grass still grows green The fruit on my tree Is the biggest you've ever seen Which way up you know when you're down They've gotta stand tall With your feet on the ground You must stand tall With your feet on the ground Or maybe I'm crazy Also they say I'm lazy But I'll have my days When I do as I please For you won't see the woods While you're a tree No you'll never see the woods While you're a tree Yes I'm crazy Also they say I'm lazy But I'll have my days When I do as I please You won't see the woods While you're a tree No you'll never see the woods While you're a tree |

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. |

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?

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... |

Tell me, how do you sleep at night? You live with straights who tell you you was king. Jump when your momma tell you any thing. The only thing you done was Yesterday, And since your gone you're just another day. Tell me, how do you sleep at night? Tell me, how do you sleep at night? Ah, how do you sleep at night? A pretty face may last a year or two, But pretty soon they'll see what you can do. The sound you make is Muzak to my ears. You must have learned something in all those years. Ah, how do you sleep, brother? Ah, tell me how do you sleep at night? |

You gotta live
You gotta love You gotta be somebody You gotta shove But it's so hard, it's really hard Sometimes I feel like going down You gotta eat You gotta drink You gotta feel something You gotta worry But it's so hard, it's really hard Sometimes I feel like going down But when it's good It's really good And when I hold you in my arms baby Sometimes I feel like going down You gotta run You gotta hide You gotta keep your woman satisfied But it's so hard, it's really hard Sometimes I feel like going down |

I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast I began to lose control I began to lose control I didn't mean to hurt you I'm sorry that I made you cry Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you I'm just a jealous guy I was feeling insecure You might not love me anymore I was shivering inside I was shivering inside I didn't mean to hurt you I'm sorry that I made you cry Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you I'm just a jealous guy I didn't mean to hurt you I'm sorry that I made you cry Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you I'm just a jealous guy I was trying to catch your eyes Thought that you was trying to hide I was swallowing my pain I was swallowing my pain I didn't mean to hurt you I'm sorry that I made you cry Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you I'm just a jealous guy, watch out I'm just a jealous guy, look out, babe I'm just a jealous guy |

Since it began I've got one dream and really It's my only blessing
If I can come through then so can you And you will find there's no regretting Things that you want from your life's font Will never let your spirit grow Come back to earth for what it's worth For you've been dreaming of the ceiling not a home I've been doing my best What else can I do? Is there something I've missed That will help you through I've reached the top of my wall I've found another way to fall For some short time For a while you and I were joined to eternity Then we're split in two back to me and you Like the rain rising from the sea Rising from the sea We all can see what we shall be But knowing's really not controlling With time perhaps I'll pass the traps and find some peace and understanding After you've come and while you're gone You leave me guessing - It's depressing Never to know the way to go to find some time along a little less pressing So you just have to laugh When it hurts so much You're so far away and so hard to touch I've reached the top of my wall I've found another way to fall Since it began I've got one dream and really It's my only blessing If I can come through then so can you And you will find there's no regretting Things that you want from your life's font Will never let your spirit grow Come back to earth for what it's worth For you've been dreaming of the ceiling not a home I've been doing my best What else can I do?

Lovely to know the warmth
Your smile can bring to me I want to tell you but the words you do not know Sing me a lullaby Of songs you cannot write And I will listen for where there's beauty there's love And in the morning of my life And in the evening of my life I will try to understand in what you say? Rivers of endless tides Have passed beneath my feet And all too soon they had me standing on my own Then when my eyes were closed You opened them for me And now we journey thro' our lives to what will be And in the morning of my life And in the evening of my life I will try to understand in what you say? Through all that life can give to you Only true love will see you through And we'll stand beside you in what you say? Repeat 6th verse Take me into your world Alone I cannot go For I've been here so long You're leaving me behind Walk with me now Into your land of fairy tales And open up that book of pages in my mind And open up that book of ages in my mind And open up that book of pages in my mind And open up that book of ages in my mind? ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By JOHN LODGE <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

I'm going to sing my song
And sing it all day long A song that never ends How can I tell you, all the things inside my head. The change in these past years Has made me see our world In many different ways How can I tell you, love can change our destiny. Love can change the world Love can change your life Do what makes you happy Do what you know is right And love with all your might Before it's too late Where did I find all these words Something inside of me is burning There's life in other worlds Maybe they'll come to earth Helping man to find a way One day I hope we'll be in perfect harmony A planet with one mind Then I could tell you All the things inside my head I'm going to sing my song And sing it all day long A song that never ends How can I tell you, all the things inside my head. I'm going to sing my song A song that never ends |

Nice to be here hope you agree
Lying in the sun Lovely weather, must climb a tree The show has just begun All the leaves start swaying To the breeze that's playing On a thousand violins And the bees are humming To a frog sat strumming On a guitar with only one string I can see them they can't see me I feel out of sight I can see them they can't see me Much to my delight And it seems worth noting Water rats were boating As a lark began to sing The sounds kept coming With Jack Rabbit loudly drumming On the side of a biscuit tin I can see them they can't see me I feel out of sight I can see them they can't see me Much to my delight Silver minnows were devising Water ballet so surprising A mouse played a daffodil A mole came up blinking Underneath an owl who's thinking How he came to be sat on a hill I can see them they can't see me I feel out of sight I can see them they can't see me Much to my delight I know you won't believe me But I'm certain that I did see A mouse playing daffodil All the band was really jumping With Jack Rabbit in there thumping I found that I couldn't sit still I just had to make it with them Cause they played my kind of rhythm And the bees hummed in harmony And the owl played his oboe Then the frog's guitar solo It was all just too much for me I know you won't believe me But I'm certain that I did see A mouse playing daffodil All the band was really jumping With Jack Rabbit in there thumping I found that I couldn't sit still ... |

Walking in the sand
Thinking of things adventures in my mind Tall ships that sail Across the oceans wide They won't wait for me See how they glide away so gracefully And with tomorrow what will become of me It leaves me so much to explain That's the start of our guessing game. There are times when I think I've found the truth There are times when I know that I'm wrong And the days when I try to hide my fears Bless the days when I'm feeling strong Bless the days when I'm feeling strong Wonder why we try so hard Wonder why we try at all You wonder why the world is turning around When in the end it won't matter at all Standing in the town Looking at people, counting their frowns Unhappy faces, hurrying around So blind they cannot see All of these things The way life ought to be And with tomorrow what will they make of me It leaves me so much to explain That's the start of our guessing game There are times when I think I've found the truth There are times when I know that I'm wrong And the days when I try to hide my fears Bless the days when I'm feeling strong There are times when I think I've found the truth There are times when I know that I'm wrong And the days when I try to hide my fears Bless the days when I'm feeling strong There are times when I think I've found the truth ... |

I don't know what I'm searching for
I never have opened the door, Tomorrow might find me at last, Turning my back on the past, But, time will tell, of stars that fell, A million years ago. Memories can never take you back, home, sweet home. You can never go home anymore. All my life I never really knew me till today, Now I know why, I'm just another step along the way, I lie awake for hours, I'm just waiting for the sun. When the journey we are making has begun, Don't deny the feeling that is stealing through your heart, Every happy ending needs to have a start. All my life I never really knew me till today, Now I know why, I'm just another step along the way, Weep no more for treasures you've been searching for in vain. 'Cos the truth is gently falling with the rain, High above the forest lie the pastures of the sun, Where the two that learned the secret are now one. I don't know what I'm searching for I never have opened the door, Tomorrow might find me at last, Turning my back on the past, But, time will tell, of stars that fell, A million years ago. Memories can never take you back, home, sweet home. You can never go home anymore. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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.

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. |

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. |

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 .....

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. |

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.

Says you're lonely Hidden deep inside Of you only It's there for you to see Take a look and be Burn slowly the candle of life Something there outside Says we're only In the hands of time Falling slowly It's there for us to know With love that we can go Burn slowly the candle of life So love everybody And make them your friends So love everybody And make them your friends Something you can't hide Says you're lonely Hidden deep inside Of you only It's there for you to see Take a look and be Burn slowly the candle of life Something there outside Says we're only In the hands of time Falling slowly It's there for us to know With love that we can go Burn slowly the candle of life |

Hark listen here he comes
Hark listen here he comes Turning, spinning, catherine wheeling For ever changing There's no beginning Speeding through a charcoal sky Observe the truth we cannot lie Travelling eternity road What will you find there? Carrying your heavy load Searching to find a peace of mind. You'll see us all around You'll see us all around Turning, spinning, catherine wheeling For ever changing There's no beginning You're so very far from home And so very much alone Travelling eternity road What will you find there? Carrying your heavy load Searching to find a peace of mind. Travelling eternity road What will you find there? Carrying your heavy load Searching to find a peace of mind. |

Floating free as a bird
Sixty foot leaps it's so absurd From up here you should see the view Such a lot of space for me and you Oh you'd like it Gliding around, get your feet off the ground Oh you'd like it Do as you please with so much ease Now I know how it feels To have wings on my heels To take a stroll among the stars Get a close look at planet Mars Oh you'd like it Gliding around, get your feet off the ground Oh you'd like it Do as you please with so much ease Bouncing about on the moon Guess you'll all be up here soon The candy stores they'll be brand new And you'll buy a rock with the moon right through Oh you'd like it Gliding around, get your feet off the ground Oh you'd like it Do as you please with so much ease Come fly... Come fly... Come fly... |

Blasting, billowing, bursting forth
With the power of ten billion butterfly sneezes Man with his flaming pyre Has conquered the wayward breezes Climbing to tranquility Far above the cloud Conceiving the heavens Clear of misty shroud Higher and higher Now we've learned to play with fire Go higher and higher and higher Vast vision must improve our sight Perhaps at last we'll see and end To our homes endless blight And the beginning of the free Climb to tranquility Finding its real worth Conceiving the heavens Florishing on earth Higher and higher Now we've learned to play with fire Go higher and higher and higher |

Watching and waiting for a friend to play with
Why have I been alone so long Monet is borrowing his way to the sunlight He knows there's someone there so strong 'Cause here there's lots of room to do in The things you've always been denied Look and gather all you want to There's no one here to stop you if you try Soon you will see me 'cause I'll be all around you But where I come from I can't tell But don't be alarmed by my fields and my forests They're here for only you to share 'Cause here there's lots of room to do in The things you've always been denied So look and gather all you want to There's no one here to stop you if you try Watching and waiting for someone to understand me I hope it won't be very long |

Take another sip my love and see what you will see,
A fleet of golden galleons, on a crystal sea. Are you sitting comfortably? Let Merlin cast his spell. Ride along the winds of time and see where we have been, The glorious age of Camelot, when Guinevere was Queen. It all unfolds before your eyes As Merlin casts his spell. The seven wonders of the world he'll lay before your feet, In far-off lands, on distant shores, so many friends to meet. Are you sitting comfortably? Let Merlin cast his spell. |

It's been a long, long time I used to feel so strong When I knew you were mine But since you let me down I'm hard to be around I don't know what I'm gonna do He could never be you He could never be you I guess it all comes around Baby, please don't cry Love is gonna be a little reckless Oh, lovers all have to stand trial Since you let me go There's nothing going on I don't know what I'm gonna do He could never be you He could never be you He could never be you He knows the rules And he plays the part But he only has me He don't have my heart He could never be you So take a look at my eyes No you can't hide the truth No you don't get by on pride It'll run over you Since you let me down I'm hard to be around I don't know what I'm gonna do He could never be you He could never be you He could never be you He could never be you |

First Man: I'm more than that, I know I am, at least, I think I must be. Inner Man: There you go man, keep as cool as you can. Face piles And piles Of trials With smiles. It riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave And keep on thinking free. |

Lazy day, Sunday afternoon,
Like to get your feet up, watch TV. Sunday roast is something good to eat, Must be lamb today 'cause beef was last week. So full up, bursting at the seams, Soon you'll start to nod off, happy dreams. Wake up, for tea and buttered scones (It's such a crying shame) Such a lot of work for you Sunday moms.(Week after week the same.) Today's heaven-sent and you're feeling content, You worked all week long. Still, it's quite sad, tomorrow's so bad And I don't feel too strong. Lazy day, Sunday afternoon, Like to get your feet up, watch TV. Sunday roast is something good to eat, (That's how your life goes by) Now it's almost over till next week.(Until the day you die.) |

Now that you're here, you're going to stay 'cause it's Lovely to see you again my friend. Walk along with me to the next bend. Tells us what you've seen in faraway forgotten lands. Where empires have turned back to sand. Wonderful day for passing my way. Knock and my door and even the score With your eyes. Lovely to see you again my friend. Walk along with me to the next bend. |

Work away today, work away tomorrow.
Never comes the day for my love and me. I feel her gently sighing as the evening slips away. If only you knew what's inside of me now You wouldn't want to know me somehow, But You will love me tonight, We alone will be alright, In the end. Give just a little bit more Take a little bit less From each other tonight Admit what you're feeling And see what's in front of you, It's never out of your sight. You know it's true, We all know that it's true. Work away today, think about tomorrow Never comes the day for my love and me. I feel her gently sighing as the evening slips away.

Talk to me baby, I want to sleep at night
My heart is heavy, it's weighed down by the night. And now I'm lonely, I want to see the light So deep within you. Cool wind is blowing through your crazy hair. Warm colours flowing, this feeling we have shared. And now I'm lonely, I want to feel the love So deep within you. Your love's a never-ending dream A castle by a stream of sweet understanding I know you're thinking of me too, The messages from you are my inspiration. Love's incense lingers, it never fades away. Like you I'm waiting for our special day. And now I'm lonely I want to feel the love So deep within you My love is burning, like a forest fire My heart is yearning, I feel a warm desire. And now I'm lonely, I want to touch the fire So deep within you. |

When the white eagle of the North is flying overhead
The browns, reds and golds of autumn lie in the gutter, dead. Remember then, that summer birds with wings of fire flaying Come to witness spring's new hope, born of leaves decaying. As new life will come from death, love will come at leisure. Love of love, love of life and giving without measure Gives in return a wondrous yearn of a promise almost seen. Live hand-in-hand and together we'll stand on the threshold of a dream. |

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 memory's hoard, and to use them, To help us, to find...... |

Stepping out of the jungle gloom Into the midday sun. What did you find there? Did you stand awhile and stare? Did you meet anyone?

We're all looking for someone. Columbus, where are you bound? So you think the world is round. Sailed off in the blue. What did you find there? Did you stand awhile and stare? Did you meet anyone? "There are Indians by the score In many places that I saw. I've still not found what I'm looking for." We're all looking for someone. We're all looking for someone. We're all looking for someone. |
