unknown

I left my home by the ocean,
I left my love by the sea,
Dreaming i could sing my songs in the city...

I thought the streets of london
Would be paved with gold,
But the only gold was in the setting sun,
And these city nights are so cold.

And you know that feeling when you've been too long,
And you wanna go home and it's so strong,

I'm going home, i'm going home,
Oh the leaves are falling and the wind is calling
And i must get on the road,
You'll be alone, you'll be alone,
But if you're crying to the rhythm of the falling rain,
It's alright, i'm on my way, i'm going home,
I'm going home, yea...

Jilly she's got a smile in her eye,
And a bed just right for two,
Silly how much i love her, but i do,

Sunny days will be here again,
She whispered in my ear,
Oh lord it's funny how much i've missed the country rain,
That's a sound i love to hear...

And i know that feeling and i've been too long,
And i wanna go home and it's so strong,

I'm going home, i'm going home,
Oh the leaves are falling and the wind is calling
And i must get on the road,
You'll be alone, you'll be alone,
But if you're crying to the rhythm of the falling rain,
It's alright, i'm on the way, i'm going home,
I'm going home, yea...
Oh hold on darling, i'm going home,
I'm on the way, i'm going home,
I'm going home, hold on darling...

I've got every reason to be high,
I've got a place in the heaven beyond,
I've got dreams to live and i've got love to give,
And i know it in my heart and soul,
Where we will be going;

Well i lay me down to the northern sky,
I wake up with the light of the sun,
And the savage beast will surely die,
In the bethlehem far below,
Where we will be going;

Oh... i've got the gold, and i've got the silver,
Oh... and i've got a place to call my own,

It's a way of living forever,
It's a way of living the dream,
It's a way of living the whole life,
Come down to the river,
Come down to the sea;

I remember footsteps on the moon,
After dallas darkened days,
When the whole world seemed to stop and look,
And they ask themselves every day,
Where are we going?

But the bowman turned and carried on,
Hal prepared for childhood's end,
And it came out of dark and wintry skies,
On a terrible december night,
In new york city;

Oh... hey john! are you out there listening,
Oh... way across the universe ?

It's a way of living forever,
It's a way of living the dream,
It's a way of living the whole life,
Come down to the river,
Come down to the sea;

Oh ay oh...
Oh ay oh...
Oh ay oh...
Come down to the river,
Come down to the sea;

I've got every reason to be high,
I've got a place in the heaven beyond,
I've got dreams to live and i've got love to give,
And i know it in my heart and soul,
Where we will be going
Where we will be going
Where we will be going...

I wake with the dawn, something is wrong, then i hear you
Breathing softly by my side,
And i know that i was dreaming of a time that may come when
You would be no longer in my life.

I slip out of bed, i go downstairs,
Still troubled by the power of the dream,
And i know that i don't say it quite as much as i should the
Way i feel and what you mean to me.

You are my lover, you are my friend, you are my life to the
Very end.
You bring me comfort, you keep me warm, you give me hope,
You make me strong, you take me away to a distant shore
And it's with you that i want to stay forevermore.

You go out at night, you're looking so good, people turning
As you walk into the room,
When i stand beside you i can feel the pride in my heart to
Know that you are here with me tonight.

You are my lover, you are my friend, you are my life to the
Very end.
You bring me comfort, you keep me warm, you give me hope,
You make me strong, you take me away to a distant shore
And it's with you that i'm going to stay forevermore.
Yes, it's with you that i'm going to stay forevermore.
Yes, it's with you that i'm going to stay forevermore.

You are my lover,
You are my friend,
Forever more,
Forever more.

He walked alone up the rocky road,
To find the place, to read the stone,
And bring the word back, from the top of the mountain,
Where it would be;

The lightning struck, and the thunder roared,
As he lifted it up,
In the name of the lord,
And many waited for the new revelation,
They are ready to go, they're going home;

And the rivers of abraham are running free,
With the dawn of a waking man, and destiny,
To the garden of eden, and paradise,
We will never be broken, and we will never die;

We cross the bridge to the silver bird,
And say goodbye to the ones that we love,
No skies or oceans in the place we are going,
Like seeds on the wind;

The time has come, we shut the door,
We are ready to go, in the name of the lord
A world is waiting for a new destination,
We are ready to go, we're going home;

And the rivers of abraham are running free,
With the dawn of a waking man, and destiny,
To the garden of eden and paradise,
We will never be broken and we will never die;

And the rivers of abraham, are running free,
With the dawn of a waking man and destiny,
To the garden of eden and paradise,
We will never be broken,
We will never die,

And the rivers of abraham are running free,
With the dawn of a waking man, and destiny,
To the garden of eden and paradise
We will never be broken and we will never die.

It was late at night on the open road, speeding like a man on the run
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey.
He is closer now and the search is on, reading from a map in the mind:
Yes there's that ragged hill and there's a boat on the river.

And when the rain came down, he heard a wild dog howl
There were voices in the night
(don't do it!)
Voices out of sight
(dont't do it!)
Too many men have failed before, whatever you do;

Don't pay the ferryman!
Don't even fix a price!
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side.

In the rolling mist, then he gets on board, now there'll be no turning back
Beware that hooded old man at the rudder.
And then the lightning flashed and the thunder roared,
And people calling out his name,
And dancing bones that jabbered-and-a-moaned on the water.

And then the ferryman said "there is trouble ahead,
So you must pay me now."
(don't do it!)
"you must pay me now."
(don't do it!)
And still that voice came from beyond, whatever you do;

Don't pay the ferryman!
Don't even fix a price!
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side.

Roll away the dawn,
Roll away the dawn and let me see,
The land of the free,
Has anything changed at all;

Sweet liberty,
Sweet liberty is in our hands
It's part of the plan,
Or is it a state of mind?

Horses and men,
Horses and men are on the field,
They didn't yield.
Many have fallen here;

Never forget
Never forget what they have done,
The time will come,
When it will change again.
Never forget!

I see you everywhere, i see your eyes, i touch your hair,
You took me on a highway to the stars, and left me halfway there;

I hold you in my dreams, your tender kiss is never what it seems,
'cos when i wake up in the morning sun, i look, but you're not there;

I cannot believe this has happened to me,
It's been heaven in your arms,
You gave me so much, with an angels touch,
And then you took my heart;

I see you in the street, and people turning at my running feet,
But when i get up close a stranger's eyes, are looking back at me;

Oh i cannot believe this has happened to me,
Its like heaven for one day.
You left me like this with an angels kiss,
And then you flew away;

I see you everywhere, i see your eyes, i touch your hair,
I'm gonna take that highway to the stars,
And i will find you there;

I see you everywhere, i see you everywhere,
I see you everywhere, i see you everywhere..........

Everywhere.....
And when i'm looking for you, i'm gonna find you,
And when i find you i am, i'm gonna hold you,
And when i hold you i am, i'm gonna love you,
And when i love you it will, it will be forever.......

Everywhere........
I see you.... everywhere.....

There is something on my mind,
And i'm losing concentration
And i feel it everytime,
That you are near me.
I could tell you all about,
Your picture at my bedside,
I should call you sometime,
And talk it over.

'cos i get a kick inside,
And i feel a tingle too,
It just comes from time to time,
And it only happens,

When i think of you,
Sleeping,
When i'm dreaming, when i wake up, when i think of you,
Walking,
When i'm talking,
When i look up,
When i think of you,

Take me away to a land of mass confusion,
And i don't know what to say,
When i am near you,
I could stand here all day long,
Just staring at your window,
But i have so much to do,
That's so important,
Then i get a kick inside, and i feel a tingle too,
It just comes from time to time,
And it only happens,
When i think of you,

Sleeping,
When i'm dreaming, when i wake up,
When i think of you,
Walking,
When i'm talking, when i look up,
When i think of you

May get the feeling that i'm dancing on the ceiling,
When i get a kick inside, and my head is spinning too,
It just comes from time to time,
And it only happens

When i think of you,
Sleeping,
When i'm dreaming, when i wake up,
When i think of you,
When i whisper to your picture, when i kiss it, when i think of you

When i think of you, when i'm dreaming we're together, on my sofa,
When i think of you, when i'm wishing that we're kissing, when we're dancing,
When i think of you.

Some are talking of revolution, they've got guns and they got cash,
But nobody knows, nobody gives a damn;
So they call in the television who are happy to oblige,
And this nothing story's on the news tonight,

I don't need this information,
I don't need it anymore,
I don't need this weight on me,
I don't need this situation,
I have heard it all before,
I don't need this weight on me; no, no, no, no...

He was good and he was famous and a hero to us all,
And his name was known and loved all over the world,
But the moment he's dead and buried,
They are digging up the dirt,
They've got newsmen looking through his life for mud;

I don't need this information,
I don't need it anymore,
I don't need this weight on me,
I don't need this situation,
I have heard it all before,
I don't need this weight on me; no, no, no, no...

For once in my life, i'm gonna stand up for truth,
Justice and glory forever,
Had enough of the news, i've got media blues,
To faking and lying i'm gonna say goodbye
I don't need you in my life.

I don't need, i don't need,
I don't need this weight on me,
I don't need, i don't need,
I don't need this weight on me,

I don't need this information,
I don't need it anymore,
I don't need this weight on me,
I don't need this aggravation,
I have heard it all before,
I don't need this weight on me; no, no, no, no...

This silent world, we're living in,
Nobody knows, nobody knows 'bout me and you;
In silent words, we talk together,
Nobody hears, nobody hears a word we say;

And i would give anything to be with you now;
Yes i would give anything to be with you now;
Yes i would give anything to be with you now;

In silent dreams, we sleep together,
Holding you tight, holding you tight till morning comes;
With silent eyes, we see each other,
I'm looking at you, i'm looking at you, you look at me;

And i would give anything to see you right now;
Yeah i would give anything to see you right now;
Yes i would give anything to see you right now;

Oh i don't care what the people say,
Our secret will not fall,
'cos i know love is here to stay,
We've got to keep a wall, 'round a silent world;
Come over here darling, come over here and talk to me;

And i would give anything to hold you right now;
Yeah i would give anything to hold you right now;
Yes i would give anything to hold you right now;
Yes i would give anything to hold you right now;

This silent world - i would give anything;
This silent world - i would give anything...

The night is so wild, and downstairs the child
Is sleeping, her spirit is free,
For more than an hour, i have walked in the rain,
I've been wondering what she will be,

But where are the heroes, where are the dreams
That i had, when i was young,
Am i hoping in vain, just to think
She could change anything?
Well i'm counting on you;

I'm counting on you to bring that sweet gentleness
To your world and all that you do,
My generation is losing its way
We don't know, what we're leaving for you,
So may there be millions who feel like you do
Oh my love...

There is so much to know,
There is so far to go,
But you are not alone,
When this is your world,
And i'm counting on you;

Come to me, turn to me,
Give me your eyes
When you see the mysteries of time,
Here there are those who just live in the past
They will never let history lie,
And this sad little island is breaking my heart
With its dark shades of green,
And as hard as i try,
I just cannot see why
This should be...
I'm counting on you,

There is so much to know,
There is so far to go,
But you are not alone,
When this is your world,
And i'm counting on you,
I'm counting on you...

You look beautiful

You're looking good,
I haven't seen you for a long time,
How've you been? i like the way you have your hair,
But something has changed,
And i can see a woman in your eyes, and in your smile;

Remember when we'd always be together,
And we believed this love would never die.

And ever since then,
I've often wondered how i'd feel if we should meet again,

And you look beautiful, you look wonderful,
You're like an angel heaven sent to me,
You look beautiful, you look wonderful,
I've got a feeling this was meant to be,

When we broke apart, we both set off to find the world,
And face the storms of life,
I thought i heard you calling,
When your ship hit the rocks,
And here we are survivors from the sea
Just you and me, out on the beach,



If you have time,
Lets get a cup of coffee, and talk about,
All the feelings that we share,
Cos when there's still love,
You know it from the moment that you see,
Those eyes again;

And you look beautiful,
You look wonderful,
You're like an angel heaven sent to me,
You look beautiful,
You look wonderful,
I've got a feeling this was meant to be,

Yes i know it this was meant to be,
You look wonderful,
Now i know it, this was meant to be;

I'm standing in the station,
I am waiting for a train,
To take me to the border,
And my loved one far away,
I watched a bunch of soldiers heading for the war,
I could hardly even bear to see them go;

Rolling through the countryside,
Tears are in my eyes,
We're coming to the borderline,
I'm ready with my lies,
And in the early morning rain, i see her there,
And i know i'll have to say goodbye again;

And it's breaking my heart, i know what i must do,
I hear my country call me, but i want to be with you,
I'm taking my side, one of us will lose,
Don't let go, i want to know,
That you will wait for me until the day,
There's no borderline, no borderline;

Walking past the border guards,
Reaching for her hand,
Showing no emotion,
I want to break into a run,
But these are only boys, and i will never know,
How men can see the wisdom in a war...

And it's breaking my heart, i know what i must do,
I hear my country call me, but i want to be with you,
I'm taking my side, one of us will lose,
Don't let go, i want to know,
That you will wait for me until the day,
There's no borderline, no borderline,
No borderline, no borderline...

When he saw her first she was crying, on the morning train,
He was drawn to her and he held her hand and he dried her tears away,
She said "i gave up my life for him, i gave all that i had,
I gave up my world for him"
And i'm not going back

Love comes in like a miracle
To take away the pain
They were always lovers
Strangers on a train
Love come in like a messenger
To save the world again
They have always been together
Strangers on a train

They were lost in deep conversation and the miles went by and by,
When the train came into their station,
They just had to travel on,
He said "i'll give up my life for you, i'll give all that i have,
I'll give up my world for you"
And i'm not going back

Love comes in like a miracle
To take away the pain
They were always lovers
Strangers on a train
Love come in like a messenger
To save the world again
They will always been together
Strangers on a train

I'll give up my life for him
I'll give all i have
I'll give up my world for you
And i am not going back

Love comes in like a miracle
To take away the pain
They were always lovers
Strangers on a train
Love come in like a messenger
To save the world again
They will always been together
Strangers on a train

O lean, o lean, o leon, wellahiya.
O lean, o lean, o lean, wellahiya.

Out on the water i can hear them call
I feel the rhythm inside of me
This is the moment i've been waiting for
When i'm hearing the drums in the night
When i'm seeing the river of light, hey, hey

Out on the water it's another world
I feel the power inside of me
The flame is here and now it has to burn
You can live but you cannot survive
And it's something you cannot deny
To the waiting heart - this waiting heart
To the waiting heart - this waiting heart

Oh i'm holding on, i'm just holding on
Holding on, wellahiya
Holding on, i'm just holding on
Holding on, wellahiya

And maybe tonight - tonight i'll go -
I'll go down to the river where my love will be
This time - this time i know -
She will lay down beside me, 'cos everything comes
To the waiting heart - this waiting heart
To the waiting heart - this waiting heart

Out on the water i can hear them call
I feel the rythm inside of me
This is the moment i've been waiting for
It is here, now i'm breaking away
And it's fortune that favours the brave
And the waiting heart, oh the waiting heart
This waiting heart - oh the waiting heart
This waiting heart - oh yeah the waiting heart
This waiting heart - oh this waiting heart
This waiting heart

Mamana mamana mamana mamana mamana mamana
This waiting heart ...
Holding on im just holding on ...
Out on the water i can hear them calling ...
This waiting heart

Up on the hill i see it begin,
Marking the heroes where they fall,
In the stone, in the stone the names of those who have gone;

And over the river, there is a place,
Where they remember boys and men,
Widows talk, widows talk of all that they could have been;

We can hear you, we can hear you whisper our names;
We can see you, we can see you reading our names;

Up here in heaven, we stand together,
Both the enemy and the friend, 'till the end of time,
Up here in heaven, we are forever,
There is only on god up here, for all of the world;

What of the children caught in the war,
How can we tell them what it's for,
When they cry, when they cry are voices heard anymore?

Are you listening, are you listening men of the war?
There is nothing, there is nothing worth dying for;

Up here in heaven, we stand together,
Both the enemy and the friend, 'till the end of time,
Up here in heaven, we are forever,
There is only one god up here, for all of the world;
There is only one god up here, the god of the world.

Oh my brave hearts, we must leave this land tomorrow,
We can't live here anymore,
And in the quiet hours, we talk before the dawn;

And the old hearts, they are calling from the shadows,
Telling us we must not go, oh but we cannot fight
The power of the gun, to take away our land,
They take it from our sons, swear it on my hands,

We will return to run here like the wolf,
And see the hunter's moon, and watch our river flow,
It's not gone forever;

Oh my bold hearts, we will go down to the city,
We will live by city light, but in the darkest hour,
We'll keep this fire alive;

We will grow strong, we will bring our wealth together,
Never showing what we have,
And when the time has come, we'll reach out for the gun,
Taking back our land, take it for our sons,
Swear it on my hands,

We will return to run here like the wolf,
And see the hunter's moon, and watch our river flow,
We will return to touch the open sky,
And see the eagle fly, and feel the morning rain
It's not gone forever,
We're gonna come back...
We will return...

Well brother john went down to the garden
On a long hot summer's day.
To watch that girl, he would hide in the shadows
As she worked the time away.
With her long black hair and her eyes of fire,
And a body to drive men crazy...!
It was on that day there would be a change
In the world of brother john.

She felt his and she walked up beside him
And she took him by the hand.
She said, "brother john, it's so hard to be holy,
Would you like to be a man?
I will meet you tonight at the monastery wall--
If you're there we will find out together,"
And the devil said, "there's a place in hell,
For the soul of brother john!"

Hallelujah! temptation is here!
It's not a dream anymore.
Hallelujah! it's finally here...
I've been waiting, i'm waiting, i'm waiting...!

Well brother john lay tossing and turning
In his bed in the heat of the night.
He heard his name and he went to the window
Where she was in the pale moonlight.
Oh the sins of the flesh are too much to deny!
He was lost to her body forever!
And the devil laughed and the angels cried
For the soul of brother john.

Hallelujah! temptation is here!
It's not a dream anymore.
Hallelujah! it's finally here...
I've been waiting, i'm waiting, i'm waiting...!

Hallelujah! temptation is here!
It's not a dream anymore.
Hallelujah! it's finally here...
I've been waiting, i'm waiting, i'm waiting...!

Temptation is here... for brother john...
Temptation is here... for brother john....

In the last moments of the dawn,
Before the day begins, before we say goodnight,
Hold me now, kiss me now,
My hands are shaking, and my heart is aching,
At the thought of making love with you,
Tonight, i would never dream that i would fall in love,
And it would be with you,
We're out at sea, just you and me,
Now the wind is blowing, and my passion is growing,
And your eyes are glowing with the light of love;

There is no explanation why it should be this way,
For you and me, must be destiny,
And from a new horizon, you came right out of the blue;

With the last moments of the dawn,
Could be the first day of my life with you;

Hold me now, kiss me again, 'cos my hands are shaking,
And my heart is aching,
As the dream of making love with you
Comes true...........

In the last moments of the dawn, the last moments of the dawn....

And when they tell you that you're crazy,
You've got to try to settle down,
You got to turn yourself around,
Life is more than just good times, and parties,

You got the moon in new york city,
You've got the whole world in your hands,
Too many cards from disneyland,
Saying that i was sorry, come one day,

But if, i ever have to chose, love is my decision,
With you i just can't lose, stay here by my side,
Love is my decision, forever you and i,

I'll tell you this,
If you should ever go away, i'll know,
That i could never live a single day without you,

You are the one that lights my world up,
The one that money just can't buy,
And now i promise i will try,
Maybe even a family together,

But if, i ever have to chose, love is my decision,
With you i just can't lose, stay here by my side,
Love is my decision, forever you and i,


If, i ever have to chose,
If i ever have to chose,
(if, i ever have to chose, love is my decision),

Forever let me hear in my heart,
(stay, always by my side, love is my decision),

Forever let me live my heart,
(if, i ever have to chose, love is my decision),

I'm never going to let you down,
(stay, always by my side, love is my decision),

Forever let me hear my heart,
(if, i ever have to chose, love is my decision,
Stay, always by my side, love is my decision).

When i wake up in the morning she is there,
With her sleepy smile and a long night of windy hair,
And when i hold her close beside me,
Well it feels so good,
That i'd like to stay here all day long,
If there's a way that i could;

And when we go downstairs and start off onto the day,
Just one more cup of coffee, and i'm on my way,
We may not have perfection,
But we're halfway there,
And i know it's sentimental,
But i just wanted to say,

That all the love i have inside me is for you,
All the love i have inside me is for you,
All the love i have inside me is for you;

And when i've had a heavy day and i'm going home,
She gives me time if she sees i want to be alone,
Ah but when the evening's over,
And we go to bed,
Here comes the same old feeling,
It's like a song in my head,

Well all the love i have inside me is for you,
All the love i have inside me is for you,
All the love i have inside me is for you;
Here's my love song to you, you...

And he laid her down in a field of corn,
And the sun was on his back,
Up above there was, a clear blue sky,
She held him by the hand,
She had known him since they both were young,
He'd been always in her life,
And the first time that he had kissed her lips,
She knew it deep inside, that this was;

Love of a different world, love of the life,
Love of the ancient ones, love of the heart divine;

Through the long hot days and the summer nights,
He was always by her side,
Just a boy and girl in an innocent world, before the flanders tide,
When the autumn leaves had turned to gold,
She would have her wedding day,
And the people sang like an angel choir,
And everybody said that this was;

Love of a different world,love of the life,
Love of the ancient ones,love of the heart divine;

Then the winter came, and the winds of war were blowing with the snow,
And he looked so fine in his uniform, she knew that he must go,
When the soldiers left on the morning train,
She was waving him goodbye,
And as the tears rolled down, for the very first time,
The baby kicked inside, and this was;

Love of a different world,love of the life,
Love of the ancient ones,love of the heart divine;

Love of a different world,love of the life,
Love of the ancient ones,love of the heart divine.

A great lord came walking through the forest
One morning with a weapon in his hand;
Rich was his castle, he lacked for nothing,
But killing was his plan;
When a white bird flew by she fell from the sky,
Nothing was found, only blood on the ground, she was gone;

Cursing his fortune,
He turned to the forest to kill once again,
And standing before him was a lovely young woman
With her hand hung in pain,
When he saw her his eyes were filled with desire,
He said "i must have her, she must be mine,
She will be mine..."

He offered her silver, he offered her gold,
But she threw it on the ground,
He fell to his knees and he begged her,
"oh please come with me,
What you wish will be found;"
She said, "sire, i'll go if you'll put up your bow,
And spare these creatures, leave them in peace,
You have no need..."

But her words were lost in the wind
His eyes were fixed on a queen
And all he saw was a woman
And all she was, was a dream...
Oh oh...and all he saw was a woman, and all she was,
Was a dream...

He took her and bound her with ropes tied around her
To his castle he did ride;
In the wood was a bower where stood an an old tower
And he threw her deep inside;
Then the birds left the sky and a terrible cry,
Brought thunder and lightning, rain falling down,
Tears on the ground...

All through the days on her face he would gaze,
For she was lovely as the spring;
No words would she speaketh but "leave them in peace",
And some sad lament she would sing,
Oh one day by the door, through the window he saw
A single white feather lying on the floor.
She was there no more...

Now that great lord is dying,
His cold heart is crying for the love of a girl;
For many an hour he has wept on the tower
For she meant more than the world;
And once in the sky, a white bird flew by,
He lifted his hands, he cried out in pain
"come back again..."

But his words were lost in the wind,
His castle was built upon sand,
All he saw was her memory,
And all he yearns is her hand...
Ah ah..all he has, is the memory,
And all he yearns is her hand.

Old friend, so you're in trouble again, you ask me today,
To try and find a little time, and maybe buy a glass of wine,
Old friend, i'm coming through...

Old friend, yes i remember you, always a smile on your face,
Oh memory from years before, an old man and a little boy,
Old friend, i remember you...

You used to take me fishing down by the wishing well,
One day you threw a wish in, and we listened while it fell,
And you made a wish...

"when the years are heavy, and my heart is growing cold,
Well i wish when the evening comes that there'll always
Be...some old friend who'll miss me too..."

Well i do, so old friend i'm coming through...
Yes, for you i'll always find the time, we will have a bottle
Of wine, old friend, i'm here by your side, oh, to the very end,
Old friend...i miss you too...my dear old friend...
Old friend...old friend...

I'd like you to meet my last queen,
Over there large as life
She's been hanging there for almost a week,
My poor late wife;

What do think of the colour of her skin,
It has the bloom of the rose,
You see she begged me to bring a certain painter in,
And for that picture in her bedroom she would pose;

Well after a while he was driving me mad,
As you could well understand,
Sitting in there, day after day,
With my wife in the palm of his hand...
It was -

"madam please do this and madam please do that",
You've never heard such display,
But he didn't mind he was taking his time,
It was me that had to pay,
"oh madam i think we should take a walk in the woods,
You understand it's the light",
And did i mind, no, i was so kind when they,
Came back in the middle of the night,
And i swear i'll take care of the painter, oh the painter...

Well as you can see it was hard for me,
But something has to be done,
She only has eyes for him and his lies, and as for me,
Not a glance, not a single one;
My orders were severe and she disappeared,
It really was such a shame,
And when they told me she was dead i broke down and said,
"it's that painter, it's him, he's to blame."

With his "madam please do this and madam please do that",
You've never heard such display,
But he didn't mind he was taking his time,
It was me that had to pay,
"oh madam i think we should take a walk in the woods,
You understand it's the light",
And did i mind, no, i was so kind when they
Came back in the middle of the night,
And i hope it's the rope for the painter,
When he's found, it's hellbound for the painter,
I'll get that painter...

I got a light shining over me
I thought this could never be,
It's so amazing what i feel
'cos love - love's got a hold on me;

Up in the air walking down the street,
Smile like a fool at everyone i meet,
I wake in the night, i just can't sleep
'cos love - love's got a hold on me;

Too many heartaches, too many tears,
Too many women, too many years,
But i've got me a girl, who takes me high,
All the way to heaven day and night;

Love is a dance with a different beat,
And i can't stop my dancing feet,
I'm as high as i can be
'cos love - love's got a hold on me;

Too many heartaches, too many tears,
Too many women, too many years,
But i've got me a girl, who takes me high,
All the way to heaven day and night;

Love's got a hold, a hold on me,
Love's got a hold, a hold on me,
Love's got a hold, a hold on me,

I said love - love's got a hold - love's got a hold -
Love's got a hold on me...

Last night i saw it there, shining in the dark again,
The light that all men seem to fear,
They say that sailors were drowning in the bay,
And people kept away,
Waiting for the riches that a wreck would bring,
When the morning comes,
And on and on that light returns again,
To haunt the ones who would not hear the pain;

I took the old path down, climbing over rocks and stones,
The place i knew when i was young,
And in my fear i had to carry on,
Where no-one else had gone,
Looking in the heart of darkness from above,
To the man inside,
I took my chance and set off for the light,
And started the journey of my life;

And in the darkest hour that light was calling me,
Through the doorway to another world,
And there below me i saw all the days of my life,
Till the moment i stood on the shore,
Worlds away, this was my destiny,
To be back here in another time,
And all around me i saw the faces that i knew,
Reaching out, "there is nothing to fear,"
Worlds away,
Come with me;

Last night i saw it there, shining in the dark again,
The light that all men seem to fear;

Come with me, come with me, come with me...

Hello darling, this is the army,
I've just got the time to write,
Today we attach, there's no turning back,
The boys they're all ready for the fight.

Yes, i'm well but this place is like hell,
They call it passchendaele,
In nineteen seventeen the war must be ending,
The general said this attach will not fail;

So i'm writing down this little melody
When you play it my love, think of me...
We'll be together in this song for you,
And it goes lalala...sing it darling...lalala...

They got old bill and the sergeant is still out there
Wounded in some shellhole,
They say this war will end all wars,
Oh god i really hope it will,

Oh how's old england, are they still singing
Those songs that we loved to sing,
When all this is over, we'll go sailing in dover,
Catching fish like we used to with a string,

Oh i miss you, i miss you, i miss you so,
If they get me my love you will know...
We'll always be together in this song for you...

And it goes lalala...i have to go now...
Take care of yourself my love.

It's the way that you move, it's the way that you smile,
It's your skin on my skin, it's that look in your eye,
It's the promise of you in the heat of the night,
When you open your door, it's the way that you bring me inside;

I can honestly say i have never before,
Had a feeling so good in my heart,
I can honestly say that i know it for sure,
This is love, this is love, this is love,
And i'm in your world;

It's the rhythm of you with your hips on my hips,
It's the things that you do with your mouth and your lips,
The caress of your hair, and your sensual kiss,
It's the way that we share in the moment that goes on forever;

When we finally fall from this heaven i feel,
I am lost in the light of your heart,
Oh sweet angel, it's shining for you and for me,
This is love, this is love, this is love,
And i'm in your world;

Open your arms, open your arms,
And reach for the wonder in me,
Open your eyes, open your eyes and see;

This is love...

Searchlights, rain on the road,
Waiting for the airport limousine,
Your time in this foreign land,
Is nearly over, i'll never forget how

Last night, after he called,
You held me like you'd never let me go,
But your eyes are happy now,
And you are beautiful, you're ready to leave me,

Homeward, back to your world,
Back to the one who is there,
Go now, but go in love,
For it's the only way;

And you'll be crying, laughing,
Half a world away,
You'll be crying, laughing,
For the love we have,
When you go away...

Long ride, holding her hand,
Looking all the words we cannot speak,
One mile to the boulevard,
And the aeroplane that's waiting to take you

Homeward, back to your land,
Back to the one who is there,
Go now, but go in love,
For it's the only way,

And you'll be crying, laughing,
Half a world away,
You'll be crying, laughing,
For the love we have,
But you must go,
Crying, laughing,
Half a world away,
You'll be crying, laughing,
Don't forget me love,
When you go away...

Some people fall in love
In rooms that are so dark.
They can't see where they are going
And they lose their hearts.
But when i saw your face,
It was a light so strong!
I could feel a long night coming on...!

In your eyes...!
In your eyes...!

And i saw driving down to the river;
Laughing in the rain;
Dancing out in the moonlight;
Papers in bed!
And i saw your delights as a lover
Until the break of day!
And oh... every time i look
It's you and me together... in your eyes.

Some people say that time changes everything.
With love there's no way of knowing
What the world may bring.
But i don't mind at all, because it's you and me!
And all i've ever wanted, i can see...

In your eyes...!
In your eyes...!

And we are driving down to the river;
Laughing in the rain;
Dancing out in the moonlight;
Papers in bed.
And i feel your delights as a lover
Until the break of day!
Oh and every time i look
It's you and me together in your eyes!

In your eyes...!
In your eyes...!

And i feel your delights as a lover
Until the break of day!
And oh every time i look
It's you and me forever... in your eyes!

In your eyes...!
In your eyes...!

Driving down to the river...
Your delights as a lover...
Dancing out in the moonlight...

It was way after midnight, all the village was asleep,
All except for one young villain through the night did creep,
He went down to the church, started ringing the bell,
Everybody came out looking, running like the hounds of hell;

"there are lights in the castle, they are blazing all night long,
Let me tell you everybody there is something going on,"
So they took to the torches and went over the wall,
Someone went ahead to tell of horrors hiding in the hall;

"what did you see?" - "i saw an apparition,"
"what did you see?" - "a monster on a bed,"
"what did you see?" - "i saw an old magician,
Waking up the living from the dead!"

Keep away, keep away, they are making the perfect man,
Keep away, keep away, they are making the perfect,
Making the perfect man!

So they called for the doctor, the doctor said, "it's strange,
He's got pistols on his finger, he's got love on the brain,
He's got a tongue good for lying and the legs to run away,
He will fool all the people all the time some day!"

"what will he be?" - "a leader of the country,"
"what will he be?" - "a member of the press,"
"what will he be?" - "a banker selling moonbeams,
You can watch your money going west!"

Keep away, keep away, they are making the perfect man,
Keep away, keep away, they are making the perfect,
Making the perfect man!

"i'd like to spend a night with you,
And show you what i am..."

"what will he be?" - "could make a politician,"
"what will he be?" - "a member of the press,"
"what will he be?" - "a banker selling moonbeams,
You can watch your money, you can watch your money,
You can watch your money going west!"

Keep away, keep away, they are making the perfect man,
Keep away, keep away, they are making the perfect,
Making the perfect man!

Perfect man, perfect man,
Making the perfect man, making the perfect man!
I'd like to spend a night with you...
Making the perfect man, making the perfect man!

Nothing can compare with the connemara coast,
Gazing out in silence with the one you love the most,
The beauty of this place and the echoes deep inside,
Make me think we're only just a moment in time;

Then lead on good light gently through the night,
Hand in hand together we will cross that line;

Nothing can compare with the way you are tonight,
Lying here beside me in the firelight,
And one thing i will say before this journey's end,
That more than being my lover, you are my friend;

Then lead on good light gently through the night,
Hand in hand together we will cross that line,
Whatever may come and wherever we may go,
I will always be with you,
Because you are my heart and soul,

Whatever may come and wherever we may go,
I will always be with you,
Because you are my heart and soul.
