Oh Mother dear
What a night this has been I awoke in the light of a vision in white The prettiest girl that I have ever seen Lately my love, said the lady in white I have watched from afar, but love draws me near Now take my hand, hold tight, Mother dear Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? Was it just another dream..... in the night? Mother dear, on that same silver night Saw a figure in black by the lady in white He said his name was death, was he right? Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? Was it just another dream..... in the night? Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? Was it just another dream..... in the night? Mother dear, what a night this has been It's so cold by your side, no don't cry, can't you see? Won't you listen to me please, Mother dear Was it just another dream, Mother dear? |

In corridors of air the clouds were waiting there
They knew that never again the skies would be so blue They took away the sun and with it took the fun It's true, and now there is really nothing I can do So I look outside my window at the sheets of pouring rain And I wonder if the sun will come again But the sun will never shine the way it used to do The clouds won't let it through Oh the sun will never shine its smile for me and you The clouds won't let it through It wasn't long ago the people that I knew were glad And nothing they ever thought about was sad But since the sun has gone their laughing times are none That's bad, to make them forget the happy times they've had So they look outside their window at the sheets of pouring rain And they wonder if the sun will come again But the sun will never shine the way it used to do The clouds won't let it through Oh the sun will never shine its smile for me and you The clouds won't let it through (Barclay James Harvest, ?Ardmore & Beechwood/EMI) |

When the world was woken
Save all unknowing eyes And thoughts that once were spoken Left only to despise And when the dawn is breaking Look upward to the sky If life is so hard to live Why not die? When the world has woken And shadows leave the air Then each spell will be broken For everyone who cares The day will then be endless The night will soon pass by If life is so hard to live Why not die? When the world has woken For all who see the sun And gentle words are spoken The dawning has begun Then man can live together With one triumphant cry If life is so hard to live Why not die? |

She walks on through the night
Her circumstances slight Are only helping her to fail And though she feels she's right She tries with all her might And makes the deepest peril pale Oh, but she is unreal Oh, but she doesn't feel Oh, but she is unreal She chooses who to love And then unlike a dove She takes the laughter from their smile She wears a velvet glove Her friends may find it rough It is a gauntlet all the while Oh, but she is unreal Oh, but she doesn't feel Oh, but she is unreal |

Early morning
It's cold and the sun is white For I was born in The darkness before the light Of a new day A new way of living Of giving delight And if you pay Then you may be slipping Back into the night Then all knowing With words and with pen I write Of the growing Of things that are in my sight Early evening It's cold and the moon is bright And I believe in The darkness before the light Of a new day A new way of living Of giving delight And if you pay Then you may be slipping Back into the night |

As I gaze on the dim glow of the evening sky Where every breath that I take becomes a vapour cloud That wraps itself around me to hide me from the crowd Then like a wall descending Night will the day be ending And it's if as though by magic Everything's become so tragic Become so tragic I turn and look behind me and all the crowd have gone And though they're all around me I feel I am alone The sounds of day have vanished and I find in their place There is an awesome silence, of life there is no trace Then like a wall descending Night will the day be ending And it's if as though by magic Everything's become so tragic Become so tragic The world outside my window slowly passes by As I gaze on the dim glow of the evening sky Where every breath that I take becomes a vapour cloud That wraps itself around me to hide me from the crowd Then like a wall descending Night will the day be ending And it's if as though by magic Everything's become so tragic Become so tragic |

Way up in the clouds The trees resound with open arms for one so rare Brother Man just can't compare When we're sitting on the banks of the sunshine We hear your song High above the living Brother gull, see him soar the sky He's so pleased to be Buoyant and triumphant on the raging sea Backing nature, feeling free Loving nature, rest your head Hear the message, man is dead See the cities fall While Brother Bird still... flies! Brother Lark, see him wake the day See him fly on by Above the streets now empty to his mournful cry Brother Man just heaves a sigh When we're sitting on the banks of the sunshine We hear your song High above the living Yes, we hear your song... |

John's vision of armageddon literally closes the album with a bang! The references in the lyric to a stained-glass window ("one great wall of coloured parts") and "the multi-coloured cross left standing through it all" add to the apocalyptic feel of the song, which was a live favourite for many years, particularly in the days of the band's concerts with the orchestra.
Lyrics: The eyes of night march slowly by The last grain falls The kneeling man just sighs Protected by the one great wall Of coloured parts He probes his clouded mind If he takes a look around him Is there nothing left to see Is there nothing left at all After the day With trembling hands he wipes his eyes He tries to stand But does not feel the need The morning sun shines on The multicoloured cross Left standing through it all If he takes a look around him Is there nothing left to see Is there nothing left at all After the day If he takes a look around him Is there nothing left to see Is there nothing left at all After the day |

My world it was so small The empty playground swings The corner shop, the penny drinks The backyard walls Of a brave new world And as the years passed by I never thought to try And memorise the dreams The childhood fantasies The backyard walls Of a brave new world Hey, Suzanne, won't you come out to play? Well the moon is bright and this weather's fine And there's something I've got to say Hey, Suzanne, won't you come out to play? Well my mama told me and I know she's right That the blackest day's when the nations fight Remember to pray when you go to bed For what mama said Bow your head For a brave new world Now I'm twenty-four My small world's closed the door I feel like I should cry Death's desperation lies on every eye In the brave new world Hey, Suzanne, won't you come out to play? Well the moon is bright and the weather's fine And there's something I've got to say Hey, Suzanne, won't you come out to play? Well my mama told me and I know she's right That the blackest day's when the nations fight Remember to pray when you go to bed For what mama said Bow your head For a brave new world Now I'm old and grey And life has passed my way My tears have all run dry I've seen men born to kill and born to die For a brave new world For a brave new world It's such an old, old world |

I feel sorry for his wife and child at home I feel sorry for the bomber who all life and limb dishonours For the people that he's maimed and left alone The Lord God said love thy neighbour Though in human life he trades, he's still a man I feel sorry for the children who with open mind are willing To fight for ideals aged and past their time I feel sorry for the children who will join the vicious circle Of instinct fear bred from their parents' minds The Lord God said love thy neighbour Break the circle, free the hater, call him a friend Wake up, wake up, there's a man by your side With a knife and a gun in each hand Wake up, wake up, you're one and the same It's time to stop and decide Is it love or hate? Is it peace or war? It's for sure there's no inbetween Politicians point views But they're pointing for you The solution has to be seen I thought I saw a summer soldier, helmet on his brow His silver rifle clutched beneath his armour-plated shroud I fire in hate, he cried aloud To protect myself from defeat My shield's my cause, my cause is war And from war I'll make no retreat I dreamt I saw an angel bright, a halo on his brow His golden sword lay in its sheath beneath his silver shroud I drwa thee not, he cried aloud Though your deeds like spears strike my soul My shield's my love, my cause is peace Faith be sure I shall not retreat |

I cannot see you
For the sun is in my eyes I cannot hear you Everything you say just passes by What I'd give for just a smile Instead of drifting at A hundred thousand miles Can you hear me there below? All my lines have gone dead And I'm not very sure Can you hear me there below? 'Cause I'm coming down fast I can't make it alone Oh no no no... I cannot see you For the sun is in my eyes I cannot hear you Everything you say just passes by Here I stay until I'm found Insane in space and my world Is spinning round Can you hear me there below? All my lines have gone dead And I'm not very sure Can you hear me there below? 'Cause I'm coming down fast I can't make it alone |

In the shining sun
My images they run Confusing all I've done before I've begun And every city scene Becomes a roaring stream A nightmare and a dream rolled into one But when the city sleeps I'm up and on my feet Along the darkened streets Hear me run Through the empty town Running, laughing, down No-one else around ? to bother old me By factories I sway My shadows seem to play To do this in the day ? I'd never be free But when the city sleeps I'm up and on my feet Along the darkened streets Hear me run |

Than the lightning in his eyes Oh! what a cold surprise the flying horses cried And didn't anybody want to ask the calliope To call the tune The flying horses crooned but did not know The Medicine Man sits on the stage Eats fire and water, earth and air while we all stare The silver blade burns bright And tells us to beware Of mirrored passages that throw a thousand images Of younger days The wheel spins slower as it calls us back to play Round and round now we go Shout your name to the wind As it spins by your side Coloured lights echo as the sound slips on by Could that have been me? |

Creeping up on you Watch as the flame grows higher Can you see it through? Don't you know the die is cast? Got to keep on running faster than time And you're riding high above Are you gonna lay your love on the line? Out where the light is burning There's a heart that's true Sounds of the night returning Put a spell on you Don't you know the die is cast? Got to keep on running faster than time And you're riding high above Are you gonna lay your love on the line? |

The day begins Riding a rainbow Bow in her hand To drive away The night again Nothing has changed And all around People are waking King of them all Has gone to rest He passed the test Leaving the stage Time goes sailing on Slowly the crowd will appear And into their ears The song they'd love to sing forever Tomorrows come, Tonight lives on for years The time has come Follow the spotlight Lighting the scene Another world The flags unfurled Into the sky And in the air Music is playing Ingots of gold Fall to the ground Creating sound Into the night Time goes sailing on Into the light disappears And still in the ears The song they'd love to sing forever Tomorrows come, Tonight lives on for years |

Trying hard to forget All the cries and the lies Of the people she met Hypnotized by the sight That you're seeing and yet Can't disguise in her eyes There's a look of regret So she drifts into tomorrow Maybe she can find a better way To love and see her sorrow Vanish in the haze Rock 'n' roll lady, keep on trying Like the sand that is washed on the shore Don't believe all the tears and the crying She's running back for more In the bars where the stars Drink tequila and wine Loud guitars, fancy cars And the feeling is fine See her face every place Every movement in time But don't choose or a loser you'll be When she throws you her line And she drifts into tomorrow Maybe she can find a better way To love and see her sorrow Vanish in the haze Rock 'n' roll lady, keep on trying Like the sand that is washed on the shore Don't believe all the tears and the crying She's running back for more |

You light up my flame, then you drive me insane There ain't nothing that you cannot do Then you grab for my heart, you just tear it apart As I shoot all my love into you: Lovin' is easy with both eyes closed You know that's the best way to feel it Lovin' is easy with both eyes closed Just get a hold and watch how it grows.

Looking back into the night Falling down on the city lights far away Tell me the answer Who knows the wrong from the right? Years may come and years they go You've seen your bridges burning And the wheels of time keep turning Like a ship in the night You passed along the highways of my life And now my mind you're always in And the ten-thirty flight will soon be headed my way As she sails across the skyway of Berlin Oh, and to think of all the changes you have seen Oh, and reflect upon the way it might have been Like a ship in the night You passed along the highways of my life And now my mind you're always in And the ten-thirty flight will soon be headed my way As she sails across the skyway of Berlin |

I'm hitting the road to heading nowhere
Got no place to go I'm stuck inside my generation Round and round I go. I'm sick of the sound of Rolling Thunder Times they were a-changing And Rock'n'Roll died with Easy Rider Tearing up my traces. David Bowie was Hunky Dory Aladdin quite insane Give the sound of Arthur Lee with Forever Changes, I'll remember And more again, don't leave me ever Buddy Holly said, "Baby, please be mine" All the time. I'm cutting out now before the New Wave Takes my surf board flair Remember the time when Zappa said "Punk, where you going with that Flower in your hair?" There's so many who's who's, Rolling Stones, Rod Stewards and Small Faces And Tommy's the King of Pinball flings That chases my generation.

On a cold misty night
On the corner of Haight She stood with a Colt forty-five. The gun in her hand Awaiting her man A victim to take by surprise. She's the Golden Gate Park killer She's the scourge of Frisco Bay Where she got herself beat up And left for dead By a man she felt true love for But who left her out of hand. Now she's out to take revenge on every man As she stands there with a pistol in her hand. The victim arrives She looks in his eyes He goes for the gun in her hand. Karl Malden was great. (unlike the film, though) But just a bit late. (this was the real show) And got it right between the eyes. She's the Golden Gate Park killer She's the scourge of Frisco Bay Where she got herself beat up And left for dead By a man she felt true love for But who left her out of hand. Now she's out to take revenge on every man As she stands there with a pistol in her hand. Repeat Chorus. |

In your heart you held the strings, in my heart the bow Together we made soft sweet music, together we believed In every day in every hour our love was everything Love was like a summer breeze, after pouring rain Blowing all the clouds away, bringing sun again Together we made soft sweet music, together we believed In every day in every hour our love was everything First dance you were mine, first dance we made it Last dance, last chance, you know I know you were wrong You know you were wrong, you know for every feeling there's a song You were like a mountain stream, flowing fast and free You were like the autumn leaves blowing from my tree Together we made soft sweet music, together we believed In every day in every hour our love was everything After all the leaves had gone, you were winter snow You were so cold and far away, I had to let you go Together we made soft sweet music, together we believed In every day in every hour our love was everything |

The only sound our voices, as star-struck we fly Our hopes ever high That the songs we sing and the words we bring Should never die We set our sights on the Sea of all Tranquility Our pointless flight betraying now fallen we are (Gods of old now broken and defaced) Compared to a star And the final reach to that barren beach Is much too far Yesterday our songs of glory shone A dream of ages every one We sold our souls for senseless gain And brought our harvest home in vain (Above the seven seas is one) Yesterday our songs of glory shone A dream of ages every one We sold our souls for senseless gain And brought our harvest home in vain |

There's a spirit floating on the water
There's a shadow lying down by the shore Wasn't he there a year before? A sacrifice for the coat he's wearing A 'paradise' for the lady Who dares colour him red upon the shore? We carry the burden upon our shoulder We carry their lives in the palm of our hand Don't you care about the state you're in Or don't you understand? See the spirit floating on the water See the shadow lying down by the shore Wasn't he there some years before? We carry the burden upon our shoulder We carry their lives in the palm of our hand Don't you care about the state you're in Or don't you understand? |

Well I feel like I've come to the end of a long long road
My body's tired and my mind's got no place to go The end of the line's where I'm at, 'cos there's nothing left to be Just a burnt out case, God, the leper and me Well i feel like I've come to the end of a long long day The victim of a life that I tried to give away A prisoner of the isles where there's nothing left to be Just a burnt out case, God, the leper and me Well I feel like I've come to the end of a long long road My body's tired and my mind's got no place to go The end of the line's where I'm at, 'cos there's nothing left to be Just a burnt out case, God, the leper and me |

But you know I've found A better way - you Thought I was a loser But you proved me wrong You're taking me so much higher You're taking me so much higher Higher and higher |

Valley's deep and the mountain's so high
If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side You stand up there with your head in the clouds Don't try to fly you know you might not come down Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down Jesus came down from Heaven to earth The people said it was a virgin birth Jesus came down from Heaven to earth The people said it was a virgin birth He told great stories of the Lord And said he was the saviour of us all He told great stories of the Lord And said he was the saviour of us all For this they/we killed him, nailed him up high He rose again as if to ask us why Then he ascended into the sky As if to say in God alone you soar As if to say in God alone we fly. Valley's deep and the mountain's so high If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side You stand up there with your head in the clouds Don't try to fly you know you might not come down Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down |

When the lights are fading slowly on another show
And the crowd has gone, the people cease to shout for more You'd better run, stop from crying all the time Don't you know it's got to end, I thought you were a friend of mine Goodbye bright light city heading for the sun Where the southern girls are pretty and there's two for one You'd better run, stop from crying all the time Don't you know it's got to end, I thought you were a friend of mine |

Didn't anybody see his hand move faster
Than the lightning in his eyes Oh! what a cold surprise the flying horses cried And didn't anybody want to ask the calliope To call the tune The flying horses crooned but did not know The Medicine Man sits on the stage Eats fire and water, earth and air while we all stare The silver blade burns bright And tells us to beware Of mirrored passages that throw a thousand images Of younger days The wheel spins slower as it calls us back to play Round and round now we go Shout your name to the wind As it spins by your side Coloured lights echo as the sound slips on by Could that have been me? |

See the gambler make a stand
Holds a lifetime in his hand Win the game or lose control But the world goes on forever Life's a circle, I recall Shadows played upon the wall You pay the piper to call the tune And the song goes on forever And when all the words have gone There's the thought to carry on Just like a bird that sings Leave it all behind and spread your wings You can leave it all behind - spread your wings Lay me down Saw the road move on before me Times when I was tired and lost my way Looking at life and strangely for the first time Thinking that I could stay here But the world moves on forever And when all the words have gone There's the thought to carry on Just like a bird that sings Leave it all behind and spread your wings You can leave it all behind - spread your wings |

The rock on which I stand is slowly sinking in the sand
The sheer realities of life are rushing by I am looking out at life and I don't know what's wrong or right And I can't even see the bright side of the moon I stopped a man in the street today And I asked him "Sir, is it night or day?" He just stared (smiled) in disbelief I asked again but he walked away He said "Don't you know?" I said "Can't you say? Is there something inbetween? Is it something I've not seen? Did it change so fast or was it just a dream?" Time and time again I've tried to recreate the past few days Evaluate the constants from the haze But every time I think I'm right, they say I'm wrong "This day is night and night is day - It's there in black and white" Night is light and dark is day If I disagree they say I'm insane And the treatment will begin If I say that the day is light They just point my eyes to the blinding night, saying "We can't set you free if you always disagree, So the State is going to pay your doctor's fee" They put me out in the pouring rain To enjoy the sun or to feel the pain Of the nightmare life's become I asked a man in the street today Or was it yesterday or the day before? "Is there something I've not seen? Is there something inbetween? Did it change so fast or was it just a dream?" The rock on which I stand is now beneath the ever-flowing sand The sheer realities are here to stay I'm looking out at life and now I know what's wrong and right It's what you hear and what you read and what they say I saw a man in the street today Ask another man "Is it night or day?" He just stared (smiled) in disbelief He said "Friend, it's your lucky day I'm a party man, won't you step this way?" I've got something you've not seen Now I know it's not a dreamIt just came so fast, that something inbetween |

Burning fiery furnace in the sky
Burns the ground around us where we lie Sad old black-faced thunder will you rise Bring your cloud and shadows to our eyes - 간 주 중 - Blazing star in heaven, mirror bright Dry our seas and rivers with your light Universal sentinel you are Guide of all who look on from afar - 간 주 중 - God of old now broken and defaced Punish all who've fallen from your grace You whose power leaves the depeest scar Mystic eye of heaven, Amun Ra |

The higher you fly, the harder you fall
The way that it goes, so they say No mountain's too high, no valley too low No river too wide on the way So you're gonna be a rock 'n' roll star Gonna make it on your own Write a song that everyone can sing along So you want to take a trip to the stars Can you find your way back home? You'll get your break, but don't you wait too long The harder you try, the lower you fall The way that it seems, so they say The mountain is high, the valley so low You're losing your dreams on the way So you're gonna be a rock 'n' roll star Gonna make it on your own Write a song that everyone can sing along So you want to take a trip to the stars Can you find your way back home? You'll get your break, but don't you wait too long Looking behind you All the bad times that you've had Looking before you Only good times? So you're gonna be a rock 'n' roll star Gonna make it on your own Write a song that everyone can sing along So you want to take a trip to the stars Can you find your way back home? You'll get your break, but don't you wait too long Now don't you wait too long |

I was down on the east side
On a block with no name When I walked in a movie You were blue, I was game Tell me, did you love it, baby? Did you think your smile looked right? Tell me when you came together Was it in your mind 'cause it sure wasn't out of sight Didn't know when I entered Second seat, second row It was then that I saw you But your mouth stole the show Tell me, did you love it, baby? Did you think your smile looked right? Tell me when you came together Was it in your mind 'cause it sure wasn't out of sight Got your name, got your number Got your form on the line I don't know who you're under But I know it ain't mine Tell me, did you love it, baby?

I woke up to a feeling, it was cold by my side
You had gone with the sunrise, leaving tears in my eyes I got up with a feeling of an emptiness inside To the noise of the sidewalk and the silence of my mind Well I walked out this morning, down a street with no name To a club called "The Loser", like a dog that's gone lame Took the club elevator to the floor with a view I took out life subscription - it's the only one they do I stepped out on the guard rail, saw the crowds slowly part Heard a voice shouting "Don't jump, please for God's sake let me move my car!" Felt a hand on my shoulder, heard a voice cry "Just in time!" Felt the quick push, felt the air rush Felt the sidewalk, fell in line |

In my life I have seen so many things
Some were true and some were not what they seemed In my life I've seen love and I've seen loss There've been times when I did not count the cost I have been to a place where chaos rules In the caves of the talking stoned the fools Seen the stars plant their seeds and watch them grow Just to keep mister reap but never sow In my life I've seen greed and I've seen hate Seen the first to accuse the last to praise Tried so hard to find just one saving grace But I was young did not know Grace is for God Greed is to know Mister middle of the road Reaps what you sow |

Where's the lady and the time I used to know
I think that I've been on the road too long Scenes of better days are pictured in my head And haunting me those old familiar songs Oh sweet Jesus hear me cry Let me see a clearing sky For tomorrow I may be back home again So take the shadow from my eyes Sunday morning comes I'm feeling kind of down I can't see back to where it all began And I know you'd help me if you only could I don't know why or where or who I am Oh sweet Jesus hear me cry Let me see a clearing sky For tomorrow I may be back home again So take the shadow from my eyes Take the shadow from my eyes |

Here comes the sun it's alright people shout for more But were you trying to deceive telling me All you need is love to succeed Across the universe one after nine 'o' nine I got a feeling for you blue and I feel fine I tried so hard to make believe that I'd see All you need is love to succeed CHORUS: Lady Madonna let it be Something in the way you moved me yesterday All you need is love so they say |

Circles in the sky
White as paper fly Sound of seagulls crying fills the air High above the lonely one is there Jonathan he cares To feel better Like the passing wind Swooping down again Waitin' for the sun to turn to night Find him miles away in endless flight Longing to be free Telling you and me Give me wings to fly Tell me why, tell me why The answer must be heard And from a lonely bird He's giving us a reason to believe See the painted silver sunlight on his wing As he sails upon the wind and slowly skyward Flying as to music you can hear him sing Like the windsong on the breeze he seems to sigh Give me wings to fly Tell me why, tell me why The answer must be heard And from a lonely bird He's showing us the way we can be free |
