XII

Came to your border
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

To our fore the harbour lights
Shining out like beacons burning
They can stop this endless night
They can stop the wheels from burning

Faces in a setting sun
Say again that we soon will be one

Starlight rakes the silver wing
Bringing home its sons and daughters
No-one knows the state i'm in
Spinning swift above the waters

Faces in a setting sun
Say again that we soon will be one

I give up my world
And giving it up, it ain't easy
I give up my life
And giving it up, it ain't easy
I give up everything i have
Even give this heart of mine
I would give up my soul
Giving it all for you
I give up my time
And giving it up, it ain't easy
I've made up my mind
And making it up, it ain't easy
Give up everything i have
Think about this heart of mine?
I would give up my soul
Giving it all for you

Even the bad times are good when you're around
Darlin', you kiss away all my blues
Even the hard times are easy to face
'cause i know that your love will come through
You light up my flame, then you drive me insane
There ain't nothing that you cannot do
Then you rip up 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

Even the bad times are good when you're around
Darlin', you kiss away all my blues
Even the hard times are easy to face
'cause i know that your love will come through

You tear up my soul and then fill up the whole
Of your being, your love, your desire
Then you grab for my heart and just tear it apart
As i shoot all my love in your fire

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

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 me the sound of arthur lee with
Forever changes, i'll remember
Andmoreagain, don't leave me ever
Buddy holly say "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 whos rolling stones
Rod stewarts and small faces
And tommy's the king of the pinball flings
That chased my generation

David bowie was hunky dory
Aladdin quite insane
Give me the sound of arthur lee with
Forever changes, i'll remember
Andmoreagain, don't leave me ever
Buddy holly say "baby, please be mine"
All the time

The boy
I was cast adrift, without a hope
My only friend is my old boat
With an empty sea and an open sky
A void no man can justify
The old man
Your sacrifices will ensure
A port of refuge ever more
Lost and drowned
We'll wait 'til england's found
Again

The boy
I was torn between what was good and right
And those who told me when to fight
So they left me here and they sailed away
To sink or swim 'til judgement day

The old man
Your sacrifices will ensure
A port of refuge ever more
Lost and drowned
We'll wait 'til england's found
Again
