I need you and you need me
Also I need to be free Free as the word free can mean To stand secure outside this dream Starstruck moonman looks so blind You're still a slave within your mind All this time you have not guessed Where you are bound Which way you're heading How you can stop feeling confused Follow the star that is moving so slowly Flow in its river of light and you'll see That you have found What you've been searching Come back and help us to regain |

We escaped from the city
Miles and miles we did flee Through the endless forest To the edge of the sea It was as though the world was ours Lying on a deserted beach Out of reach Out of their reach I could see you much clearer As we strode by the shore All the peace all around us Seemed impossibly pure And then the sun shone through the clouds Touched us with its magnificent beam Made us clean Made us feel so clean On our island of safety From the alien crowd Of the city of madness Could we really be sure That the peace would still remain Sealed away from insanity We shall see We shall see |

Looking at the ground
I'm crying for the sky I know I can't hope to go where I can't be found But when I close my eyes I start to fly The sun burns down on me I'm praying he'll take me away So very much higher than the peaks above me I open myself, my spirit is free and I start to fly As a leaf upon the breeze Higher than the chains of mortal man Surrounded by the wonders of a life I saw but never knew Revealed the hazy secrets of the mountain man Yet soon as I am here I have to go The sun burns down on me I'm praying he'll take me away So very much higher than the peaks above me I open myself, my spirit is free and I start to fly Don't you know, don't you know that I can fly? Don't you know, don't you know that I can fly? Don't you know? (repeat to fade) |

We look ahead for miles down our avenue of light
We motor past the airport in the flatness of the night Its fairy beads reflected in the shining of your eye Can it be that there's so many That have been through this whole scene before? Staring at the ground, for I knew not what to do I turned full around and found myself in you The water looks so placid to deny that it's a threat Our weary faces smiling with the energy that's left Your flowing now has reached me and I feel I've got to stay There's no need for a reason We switched off our thinking hours ago Staring at the ground, for I knew not what to do I turned full around and found myself in you Still we're driving onward, moving steady as a plane Moonbug cars flash past us as we head the other way Across the dyke of worry to a Nederlander dream Now the morning opens slowly On what seems a very special day Staring at the ground, for I knew not what to do I turned full around and found myself in you |

Open your eyes if you dare
Future comes, all you know is that you'll share Suns and moons, many cycles, miles of days Your love shines like a beacon through the haze Your twin lives twined together Jigsaw, fit, snap together Your twin heads crowned together ? King and Queen An extra gene Can your words cope with infinity? You must communicate it perfectly Don't you think you can surely make it now? You don't need anyone to tell you how Your twin lives twined together Jigsaw, fit, snap together Your twin heads crowned together ? King and Queen An extra gene (repeat complete lyrics) |

Hollow stone
Early morning you slip out the window And glide through the dew All alone Back a thousand years And you know there is no answer They can give you, they can give you For the word's not there for them to choose After all You are only a molecule drifting An atom afloat As you fall Into space from your lonely shell of fear You raise your hands and gaze in wonder At a world you have seen somewhere before Only you can see the men of wisdom Moving slowly on together Sun shines through the stone but once a year Ceremony now will start anew And so you sit beneath the linden tree Staring ghostly at the altar And all the problems that perplex you so Dissolve and vanish deep into the water Tired of asking who you are Or what you'll be a millisecond after As you plunge back into laughter now Dancing and calling out your name And so you sit beneath the linden tree Staring ghostly at the altar And all the problems that perplex you so Dissolve and vanish deep into the water |

Can you see an image on the inside of my eye?
Is it always straight and never changing? Reflecting all the sadness of a life turned upside-down Is it you or just a total stranger? Unseeing eyes stare so blank at the picture Wipe the dust from your eyes See life all around you Take the strength in your hands Break the chains and realise Wipe the dust from your eyes See life all around you Take the strength in your hands Break the chains and realise you're free You're waiting like a child to be taken by the hand In circles that lead back to where they started For you could read a book without looking at the words If you had written all the chapters to it Unseeing eyes stare so blank at the picture Wipe the dust from your eyes See life all around you Take the strength in your hands Break the chains and realise Wipe the dust from your eyes See life all around you Take the strength in your hands Break the chains and realise you're free Wipe the dust from your eyes See life all around you Take the strength in your hands Break the chains and realise (repeat) |
