Eastern Wind

In from the coast, riding like the wind and racing the moon,
Shadows on the road, dancing and a-weaving like a crazy fool.
A horseman is coming, death in his heart, for a rendez-vous,
And where the traveller goes, nobody knows,
Where the traveller goes, nobody knows....

A candle in the night, fear on every face when he goes inside
(maybe he's on the run?)
Get back from the bar! a stranger in town is a dangerous sight
(maybe he's got a gun?)
"bring a bottle of whisky, ladlord, i wanna talk for a while."
And where the traveller goes, a cold wind blows,
Oh, where the traveller goes, a cold wind blows....

There is something in his eyes, something in his hands,
You can almost smell his revenge!
And whoever he is after, it will be disaster:
This man is gonna take him to the very end....

Well, the landlord he trembled, staring at a face he'd seen somewhere before.
(you laid him in the ground)
Suddenly remembers a killing, yes, a murder, many years before.
('twas you that shot him down)
He said to a boy: "saddle me the black, i'll meet you down below.
With this man i must talk, yes with this traveller i'll go,
With this man i must talk, yes with him i must go."

There is something in his eyes, something in his hands,
I can almost smell his revenge!
And it's me that he's after, it will be disaster:
This man is gonna take me to the very end....

And they were never seen again!

Well my furrows are filled with corn,
I have my woman to keep me warm,
But there's one thing that i do fear,
That eastern wind is getting near,

There's a shotgun beside my bed,
This is my country, where i was born and bred,
But i am sure, as the willow will grow,
That eastern wind is going to blow,

Blowing a hole in my life, eastern wind,
Running away with my life, eastern wind;

There's a woman who reads the stars,
She sees warlords on the planet mars,
And she said, "boy, you'd better beware,
That restless wind is getting near,

Blowing a hole in your life, eastern wind,
Running away with your life, eastern wind..."
They are coming, they are coming,
They are coming, look out!

In my dream, i saw a crowd,
They were burning the palace down,
I saw a mad old man, and i ran to the door,
And then that wind began to roar,

And when they come, they'll find me here,
I will not run, they will not see my fear,
And i will fight to the very end,
Before that wind i will never bend,

If they're blowing a hole in my life, eastern wind,
Oh running away with my life, eastern wind,
Taking the plough from my hands, eastern wind,
Taking every bit of my land, eastern wind...

Hollywood is such a dream,
And when you're only seventeen, it's wonderful,
A movie man said she could be a star,
A beauty queen, or a cover girl,
She believes and packs up her things,
And the wall of silence begins;

Every night was party night,
She was everyone's delight, he let her stay,
And when he'd had enough, he threw her out,
And she found work in a small cafe,
When she called they put her on hold,
And the wall of silence grows;

Give me a break,
Give me a break,
This is hollywood,
Open the door,
Open the door,
What am i going to do,
When the money runs out,
And there isn't any doubt,
That i'll have nowhere to go.

Hollywood is just a dream,
But when you're only seventeen, it's magical,
She went home to hide away,
She wore her sadness like a veil, and closed the door,
Till the day she smiles and recalls,
And the wall of silence falls...

If you're out on a saturday night, head downtown to the city lights,
They've got everything you're looking for, who knows what's behind
That door,
"d'ya wanna go where the wild men go?"
"d'ya wanna come and see a dirty movie show?"
"d'ya wanna do what the wild men do?"
Well everything's right here in the

Shadows and lights, on a saturday night,
If you're feeling a little bit crazy,
In the shadows and lights, on a saturday night,
Oh yes it is truly amazing...

Take a walk down to old soho, chinese restaurant that i know,
(lee ho fung)
Couple of ladies are hanging outside, down in the alley looking for a
Ride,
"little boy d'ya wanna come upstairs?
You'll never get a better offer anywhere young man,
Do you wanna do what the lovers do,"
Well everything's right here in the

Shadows and lights, on a saturday night,
If you're feeling a little bit crazy,
In the shadows and lights, it's a double delight,
Oh what can you do to amaze me?

Ooh the shadows and lights on a saturday night,
If you're feeling a little bit crazy,
In the shadows and lights, on a saturday night,
Oh yes, it is really amazing...

There's a woman in the wardrobe singing beatles out of tune,
And a salesman in the corner trying to blow up a burst balloon,
And the managing director, he's a-lying on his back,
He's got ice-cream on his trousers and he's planning his attack,
It's just another record company bash,
Nice to know they've got the cash,
You're the only one here i can talk to,
Is there nowhere near we can walk to,
I really want to see you again,
But i don't know your name;

Let's go, let's go home,
Yea, let's go, let's go home,
Let's go, let's get out...

The promotion department secretaries are out to kill tonight,
And the a and r director is still looking for his wife,
Oh and there's a party in the bedroom,
They've got the mirror on the floor,
And there's a guy who says he's from rolling stone
Who shouldn't be here at all,
It's just another record company bash,
Nice to know someone's got cash,
And they're gonna do something obscene
With the video machine,
I really think it's time to leave,
Won't you come with me please?

Let's go, let's go home,
Let's go, let's go home,
Grab a bottle of whisky and a bottle of wine,
It doesn't really matter if it's your place or mine,
Let's go, let's go home...
