Sunlight shining kyoko-san
Shades her face behind her fan
Silk kimono, amber comb
Geisha kyoko-san's alone
Moving through the willow leaves
Past the tea house trees
Preparing for the evening play
Kyoko-san would please

In shimoda geisha-san
Tells of lost okichi-san
Taken from the geisha place
To a foreign cold embrace
Bound in duty to perform
Okichi-san was torn
Unhappy okichi-san lived a life forlorn

In shimoda geisha kyoko-san is resting
Lost okichi-san geisha kyoko-san
Different as two can be
Sighing

In shimoda gefu lanterns glow this evening
Through the paper screen
Painted candle's light
Soft against the perfect night sky

In shimoda poor okichi-san is sleeping
Dreams of blossom trees
Heavy on the ground
Scented petals falling so soft
Through the paper screen
Painted candle's light
Soft against the perfume night sky

It is nothing to live as we do
Day to day we roam
Heart without a home of our own
Dust and passion lay in our throats
Revenge in each word that spoke
Childrens eyes fill our minds as we smoke

Chorus:

But somewhere out in the desert a figure moves at speed
And in his heart he carries the message that they need
We move against the tyrant
Words fall from his lips
The fire inside their eyes is lit
At daybreak freedom calls
We answer as one
From hiding in the hills we enter the burning sun

Danger fills the air and the dawn
Holds a sweet but stale perfume
Women know that soon they may lose
What good are men that love but our slaves
In a country they once called their own?
As they kissed goodbye they have flown


Chorus ii

To be there out in the desert as horses move at speed
And in each heart is carried the message that they need
We move against the tyrant
Words fall from his lips
The fire inside their eyes is lit
At daybreak freedom called
We answered as one
From hiding in the hills we entered the gripping sun

Instrumental

Repeat second part of chorus i

I can hear brazilian love songs, more every day
They seem stronger on the wind--you don't seem so far away
Someday i'm going to be there, someday i'll be
Standing on your highest mountain looking out across the sea

No longer here so cold and tired
I'm getting out today from ukraine ways

From my childhood i've seen pictures, don't say a word
Decadent scenes of smiling people half the way across the world
When you live each day in colours of stone and gray
Feelings start to rise within you--steal the chance and get away

Much stronger now, i feel so inspired
I'm getting out today from ukraine ways

I can feel your rhythm deep within me
I can see your people dance
Here i stand in the ice and snow
Warm where the cold winds blow

Colours that flash through my mind when i'm dreaming
Soon will be seen with these eyes of my own
Tropical days are the things that i live for
No more ukraine ways

Instrumental

I can feel your rhythm deep within me
I can see your people dance
Here i stand in the ice and snow
Warm where the cold winds blow

Colours that flash through my mind when i'm dreaming
Soon will be seen with these eyes of my own
Tropical days are the things that i live for
No more ukraine ways

Couldn't have loved you more but i know
I could have loved you longer
Crying for the moon
Couldn't have loved you less but i know
I could have loved you longer
Over all too soon

Come down to earth, how the time flies
Come down to earth, how the love lies
A broken butterfly

Chorus i:

Trapped in a wheel, a butterfly
I can't conceal the way i feel
Now that you're gone it's been so long
Bonjour swansong

Hiding behind a song and i know
I could have loved you longer
Singing just for you
Couldn't have loved you more but i know
I could have loved you longer
Didn't make it through

Come down to land after so long
Come down to land, bonjour swansong
A broken butterfly

Chorus ii:

Caught on the wing, a butterfly
A broken wing, but still i sing
Now that you're gone it's been so long
Bonjour swansong

And i thought we'd touch eternity
But all we have are memories
I thank you for the sweetness
That you gave to me


Repeat chorus i - chorus ii - chorus i

What lies beneath the rowan tree
Magic dust that i may breathe
Starlit night, the mist entwines my fear
A faerie ring untouched by time
Secrets of the inner mind
Come to life before my very eyes
Once like a child i knew fear
"don't turn the light out, i'm afraid of the dark!"

Chorus:

Faeries living at the bottom of the garden
Faeries living at the bottom of the garden
Someone's calling, i am falling--falling, falling ...


Just before the dawn i wake
My heart is cold but it's too late
There is someone out there calling me
So i leave my bed, climb down the stairs
Out the door, the still night air
See beneath the tree--it is me
Once like a child i knew fear
"don't turn the light out, i'm afraid of the dark!

Chorus

"don't turn the light out, i'm afraid of the dark!

Repeat chorus three times

Someone's calling, can't stop falling ...
