Sparkle In The Rain

Instrumental version called bass line

In time, only time, speak for time, in time

Time calls, time cries, sweet friend of mine
Time could be a place, a spirit and a face
Teardrops through time
While away below, the whirlwinds will blow
A pretty nation speaks in time
The beauty of it is, to waken up to
Shake the hand of time

In time, only time, we'll speak for time
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Whisper the things that will come our way
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Hold back the years, hold back the years

Time calls, time cries, sounds like a friend of mine
Time will run to meet, the slick and shiny beat
That creeps to me through time
While away below, the whirlwinds will blow
A pretty nation sleeps in time
The beauty of it is
We'll wake up to, shake the hand of time

In time, only time, in time, only time
In time
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Whisper the things that will come our way
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Hold back the tears, hold back the tears
In time, only time, we'll speak for time
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Whisper the things that will come our way
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Hold back the tears, hold back the tears

In time, only time
Quiet night of a white hot day
Whisper the things that will come our way
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Roll back the years, roll back the years
In time, only time, we'll speak for time
On a quiet night
Hold back the tears to another day

Quiet night of a white hot day
Hold back the tears, hold back the tears
Time, only time, speak for time
Quiet night of a white hot day
Whisper the things that will come our way
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Roll back the years, roll back the years
In time, only time, speak for time
Quiet night of a white hot day
Hold back the tears to another day
Quiet night of a white hot day

We go walking, hand in hand
All across the land it's east at easter
People walking hand in hand
When ships are moving south it will be east at easter
We will rock you, rock you little child
We will rock you, rock you little child
All across the land it's east at easter
All across the land it's east at easter

Things will lighten up the sky, east at easter
Things will lighten up the sky, east at easter
We'll go walking hand in hand
'cause all across the land it will be east at easter
Ah, we will rock you, rock you little child
We will rock you, rock you little child
All across the land it's east at easter
When ships go moving south it will be east at easter

They're gonna lighten up the sky
They're gonna lighten up the sky
They're gonna lighten up the sky
East at easter

Ah, we'll go walking hand in hand
We'll go walking hand in hand, yes
We will rock you, rock you little child
We will rock you, rock you
Rock you little child
They're gonna lighten up the sky
When they lighten up the sky it will be east at easter
We will rock you, rock you, rock you

Get in, get out of the rain
I'm goin' to move on up to the waterfront
Step in, step out of the rain
I'm goin' to walk on up to the waterfront
Said, one million years from today
I'm goin' to step on up to the waterfront
Get in, get out of the rain
Come in, come out of the rain

So far, so good, so close, yet still so far
So far, so good, so close, yet still so
So far, so far, so far

The rain, i'm going to move on up to the waterfront
Step in, step out of the rain
I'm going to walk on up to the waterfront
Said, one million years from today
Step on up to the waterfront
Said, come in, come out of the rain
Said, come in, come out of the rain
Said, come in, come out of the rain
I'm goin' to move on up to the front
I'm goin' to walk on up to the front
I'm goin' to live on up by the front
I'm goin' to walk on up to the front
Come in, come out of the rain
Come in, come out of the rain
Said, come in, come out of the rain
Come in, come out of the rain

Move on up, to step on up
Walk on up, live on up
Far away, far away, far away
So, walk away, so far, i walk away
So, so, walk away, up to the waterfront
Up to the waterfront
So far, so far

Cry cry cry
Cry like a baby
"c" moon "c" moon
So where do you go, up hi under low
The devil i know said, something is missing
Outside it's hot, the first of july
And a look in your eye said, something is missing

Midnight, she cried like a baby
"c" moon "c" moon "c" moon
Cry like a baby
Can this be something we can't understand
Could it be the girl can't understand

Where will we go, up hi under low
When the devil i know say, something is missing
Sweet angels sing, about the fast place of things
But our children sing, love will conquer anything

Midnight she cried like a baby
"c" moon "c" moon "c" moon
Cry like a baby
Could it be we can't understand
Can it be we can...

Cry, cry, cry, cry like a baby
Midnight cry like a whisper
Scream like a baby
Could this be something we can't understand
Cry like a baby

Up on the catwalk, a big wheel is spinning
And dollars to deutchmarks, and pennies from heaven
And up on the catwalk, there's one hundred million
With letters from thousands that say ``just who are you?''
There's one thousand names that can spring up in my mind
But you'd call it blackmail and that's just not my kind
And up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk
And i don't know why

I will be there, i will be there, i will be there
I will be there, i will be there

Up on the catwalk there's street politicians
That crawl in from broadway, say then who are you
And up on the catwalk there's one thousand postcards
From montevideo, say that i'll be home soon
Get out of bombay and go up to brixton and look around, to see just what is missing
And up on the catwalk, girls call for mother and dream of their boyfriends
And i don't know why

I will be there, i will be there, i will be there
I will be there, i will be there
Tonight, under the crystal light, i'll tell you everything i need
Tonight, under the crystal light, surrender everything to me

Up on the catwalk, and you dress in waistcoats
And got brilliantino, and friends of kim philby
You float through the night time, like manna from heaven
But what, what do i know, and just what do i know
And up on the catwalk, in sweat that glistens
And i don't know why and i don't know why
I don't know why

I will be there, i will be there, i will be there
I will be there, i will be there
Tonight, under the crystal light, i'll tell you everything i need
Tonight, under the crystal light, surrender everything to me

Angel angel angel angel
Ah huh ah huh ah huh ah huh
One thousand names that spring up in my mind
One thousand names that spring up in my mind
Like deodata, michaelangelo, robert de niro, so many others
Natasia kinski and martin luther - there's room for others, away from me

Up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk
I don't know why.
