Chris De Burgh - Flying Colours (1988) by Chris De Burgh (보컬) on maniadb.com

Waiting at the water's edge
Watching all the ships as they are heading for the harbour wall
I was just a boy, I was just a boy
Dreaming of the wide world, dreaming of the wide world

Watching as they disappear
Reading out the names of all the places I have never been
Looking out to sea, staring out to sea,
Dreaming of a wide world, dreaming of the wide world

I wish I was sailing away, sailing away,
Sailing away, with you tonight, with you tonight

Walking down another street
Underneath the red lights, I am watching where the shadows fall
Looking at the girls, listening to the girls
Dreaming of a new world, dreaming of that new world

I wish I was sailing away, sailing away,
Sailing away, in your arms tonight,
In your arms tonight

I wish I was sailing away, sailing away,
Sailing away, with you now, with you now...

There is an answer, some day we will know,
And you will ask her, why she had to go,
We live and die, we laugh and we cry,
And you must take away the pain,
Before you can begin to live again;

So let it start, my friend, let it start,
Let the tears come rolling from your heart,
And when you need a light in the lonely nights,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carre me like a fire in your heart;

There is a river rolling to the sea,
You will be with her for all eternity,
But we that remain need you here again,
So hold her in your memory
And begin to make the shadows disappear;

Yes let it start, my friend, let it start,
Let the love come rolling from your heart,
And when you need a light in the lonely nights,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart;

So let it start, my friend, let it start,
Let the love come rolling from your heart,
And when you need a light in the lonely nights,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart.

Oh how, at the journey's end, I lie in the heat of the night
Feeling the heartache, wondering why, I want a friend
I want a friend to lay down beside me
I want a friend, I want her now, someone who knows what I mean
when I say, that I need

Tender hands to hold me, I need tender hands tonight
Will you lay them on my shoulders
Will you lay them on my eyes
And I need tender hands to take me
All the way to paradise, and then, when it's over
I need tender hands to hold me through the night

Touch me with your velvet mouth, I will give all the love that I have
Under the moonlight, reaching your heart
Where are you now, where are you now, come out of the shadows
Where are you now, I want you now
You know that I cannot always be strong, and I need

Tender hands to hold me, I need tender hands tonight
Will you lay them on my shoulders
Will you lay them on my eyes, and I need
Tender hands to take me all the way to paradise
And then, when it's over, I need tender hands
To hold me through the nights

A am only a voice in a city of noise, can you hear me this time
I see the storm grow, there's a light in the desert tonight

And I need tender hands, give me tender hands
Will you lay them on my shoulders, o give me
Tender hands to take me all the way to paradise
And then when it's over, I have tender hands
To hold you through the night, darling,
My tender hands will hold you through the night

I want your tender hands, you have tender hands
I want those tender hands, tender hands

Naked and frozen at the side of a lake,
I think I've gone and made my big mistake,
I took her swimming, we had a fight,
Now my clothes and the lady are well out of sight,

And it looks like I'm heading for a night on the river,
Under the moon and the stars,
Looks like I'm heading for a night on the river,
Me and my beating heart, singing in the dark.

Naked and frozen at the side of a lake,
If she was here I wouldn't hesitate,
To tell her how, the way things are,
With a long conversation in the back of a car,

And it looks like I'm heading for a night on the river,
Under the moon and the stars,
Could be I'm heading for a night on the river,
Just me and my beating heart, singing in the dark;

I think she owes me an explanation,
She's got the whip hand in this situation,
If I try to tell her just the way I feel,
It could start the whole thing all over again,

Ooh, I think I'm heading for a night on the river,
Under the moon and the stars,
Could be I'm heading for a night on the river,
But I see the lights of a car, shining in the dark,

Ooh, could be we're heading for a mm-mm,
Under the moon and the stars,
Could be we're heading for a mm-mm
Just you and me and our beating hearts,
We're singing in the dark...

i've got leather on my shoes,
and i've got a dream to live,
there is nothing left to lose,
so i'm going,
i've got a suitcase here in my hand,
and i've got a hungry heart,
and i'm going to join the millions,
there before me, on the freedom road;
no-one's coming to my door,
and all my friends have gone,
there's no work here anymore,
it's deserted,
and though i know i hate to leave,
from this land that i love,
there's a new tomorrow waiting,
yes it's shining on the freedom road,
on the freedom road;
oh sometimes it's going to be lonely,
sometimes it will be sad,
but i've got to keep on going,
until i hold that promised land,
in the palm of my hand;
nothing ventured, nothing gained or won,
without a hard fight,
we would never reach the sun,
without trying,
and when we're a million miles from home,
out in the starry night,
we will see we're not alone,
in the heavens, out on freedom road,
out on freedom road... out on freedom road.

Suddenly love
Comes in and finds me on open ground,
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run,
There's no turning back,
And a journey has just begun;

Suddenly love breaks down the doors,
There is singing inside,
And all of the light that's in your eyes,
Shining here tonight,
Has woken the man in me,
And the woman in you,
The woman in you;

All night, heads on the pillow,
And eyes that are never shut,
All night, rain on the window,
But inside, we have so much;

Suddenly love
Takes me away where I've never been,
Shows me a world I have never seen,
I could only dream,
That I ever would find myself
With a lover like you,
A lover like you;

All night, heads on the pillow,
And eyes that are never shut,
All night, body to body
And thrilling to every touch,

Oh, suddenly love
Takes me away where I've never been,
It shows me a world I have never seen,
And I just want to be,
Alone in your mystery,
Love me over and over,
And over and over again.

Brother can you spare me food,
And give me a drink of wine,
I've been travelling on this road,
For such a long long time,
I have seen the wonders,
But most amazing of them all,
I believe I've seen the face,
Of the risen Lord;

On a night like this there came,
A stranger on the road,
I saw him stumble, heard him fall,
I helped him with his load,
The further that we walked,
Well the heavier it became,
And I believe I've felt the weight,
From another world...

I've been missing you

I've got the roses and I've got the wine
With a little luck she will be here on time
This is the place we used to go
With romantic music and the lights down low
And as you stand there amazed at the door
And you're wondering what all this is for
It's just a simple thing from me to you
The lady that I adore
Cause there's something that you should know

It's that I've been missing you
More than words can say
And that I've been thinking about it every day
And the time we had just dancing nice and slow
And I said "Now that I've found you
I'm never letting go"

There is no reason to the things that we do
You can break a heart with just a word or two
And take a lifetime to apologise
When the one you love's in front of your eyes
And I will fall to my knees like a fool
If it's the only way of getting through
You see if I think you are beautiful
Someone else is gonna feel it too
So there's only on thing to do

It's that I've been missing you
More than words can say
And that I've been thinking about it everyday
Well tonight's our night for dancing nice and slow
Because now I've found you
I'm never letting... go.

When I'm lying in the arms
Of the woman I love,
I'm completely at peace with the world,
And the dark clouds around me
That often surround me
Just fall away into the night,
I'm not scared anymore;

When I can't sleep at night
And I just stare at the moon,
Listening to your beating heart,
To know that you're with me,
And the love that you give me,
Keeps me from falling apart,
I'm not scared anymore;

You are near, you are here;

When I think about the ways
Of the other world,
And all the ones who've gone before,
Well I believe they can see us
Believe they are with us
Hear every word that we speak,
I'm not scared anymore,

Oooh --
They hear every word that we say,
Oooh --
When I have my lover with me,
I'm not scared anymore,
I'm not scared anymore;

When I'm looking at my children
And the world where we live,
And the violence coming every day,
Well I know I'll protect them
With the power of my love,
To the very last drop of my blood,
I'm not scared anymore,

Can you hear me, I am near,
Can you see me, I am here

When I'm lying in the arms
Of the woman I love,
I'm completely at peace
With the world,
I'm not scared anymore,
I'm not scared anymore,
I'm not scared anymore.

Oh, there is a place where the wild men go,
When it's late at night and on the radio,
They're telling everybody, stay at home,
It's no time for you to be alone,
It is a place on the edge of town,
Just shining in a hell-fire light (they're waiting),
And if you're there, keep going on,
They're waiting deep inside, I'm telling you,

Don't look back, women in the red and black,
Don't look back, they're going to take your heart away,
I'm telling you don't look back, women in the red and black,
Don't look back, they're going to steal your heart away,
I should have known better;

Well Jimmy Pellin was a friend of mine,
But he went out there one too many times,
I saw him running down the railroad track,
And I tell you boys he ain't coming back,
The early morning is their favourite time,
To find somebody out on their own (they're waiting),
They're waving arms and flashing lights,
Standing out on the road, I'm telling you,

Don't look back, women in the red and black,
Don't look back, they're going to take your heart away,
I should have known better, I should have known better,

So if you're going to the edge of town,
Don't lose in a hell-fire light, (they're waiting)
And if you're passing, keep going on,
They're waiting there tonight, I'm begging you,

Don't look back, don't look back,
I beg you don't look back,
Women in the red and black,
Don't look back,
They're going to steal your heart away,

I should have known better -- don't look back,
I should have known better -- don't look back,
I should have known better -- don't look back,
I should have known better -- don't look back,
I should have known better.

plenty of time to turn out the light,
i want to keep this feeling inside, for a little more,
it must be a daddy's pride and joy, a little baby boy,
is lying in my arms here tonight;
tears in my eyes when i saw you being born,
so much emotion, words cannot form, so i'll let it be,
only to say it's you and me, for eternity,
i wish you a wonderful life,
and i'm only, i'm only, i'm only,
just a word away;
i will be near whenever you call,
pick you up whenever you fall,
'till the day will come, but you're not alone,
remember that i will be here,
and i'm only, i'm only, i'm only,
just a word away;
your sister rosanna's fast asleep, so it's time for me,
to whisper i love you, goodnight,
and i'm only, i'm only, i'm only,
just a word away, just a word away...

brother can you spare me food,
and give me a drink of wine,
i've been travelling on this road,
for such a long long time,
i have seen the wonders,
but most amazing of them all,
i believe i've seen the face,
of the risen lord;
on a night like this there came,
a stranger on the road,
i saw him stumble, heard him fall,
i helped him with his load,
the further that we walked,
well the heavier it became,
and i believe i've felt the weight,
from another world...

the last time i cried, i was sitting home,
and it was deep in the night,
staring at the shadows and the flickering lights,
giving all that i had, to take them away,
giving all that i had, to make them pay;
the last time i cried, i could see the people,
long ago in the rain,
waiting as the soldiers put them all on a train,
and the hands on the bars, the eyes full of tears,
and the word is the same, for a thousand years,
eli eli lama, oh lord, you have forsaken me,
eli eli lama, oh lord, you have forsaken me;
the last time i cried, i could not believe it,
when i held on a face,
staring at a soldier with his hug in the rain,
it was the face of a child, my child here asleep,
and the soldier who smiled, the man was me,
eli eli lama, oh lord, you have forsaken me,
eli eli lama, oh why, have you forsaken me?
eli eli lama, oh lord, you have forsaken me,
the last time i cried, the last time i cried,
the last time i cried, the last time i cried,
the last time i cried, the last time i cried,
the last time i cried, the last time i cried,
the last time.
