Mary Black - The Best Of Mary Black 1991-2001 [compilation] (2001) by Mary Black (보컬) on maniadb.com

Night owns my white bones but
What's left is still saying
Strange prayers in high places
Wild airs with wilder graces
Birds fly with no motion
What draws me draws the ocean

Chorus

Down on my knees again,
Still believing
In the time of reason no more
Down on my knees again
Still believing
Peace of mind is worth any chore

Great dreams and laid schemes
Just blown down by high winds
And strong signs from old forces
Wild dogs run trackless courses
Night changes sweet mountain
Vain hopes need cold fountains

Chorus

Night owns my white bones but
What's left is still saying

Chorus...

This child he means the world to me, There is no more enchanted
A child can take this place of ruin, And magically enhance it.

I see him in a golden room, With the book of life before him
Strange instruments upon his charts, And the crystal glow inside him.

He's your Wonder Child, And my dreams come true
You've searched all your life, I see him now flying over the universe.

This child will build a violin, One will follow the traveller's love
Another will the bow apply, To reach the one above.

I see her in a golden room, With the moon and stars above her
Her simple smile is Heaven's gate, With the Queen of all beside her.

She's your Wonder Child, And my dreams come true
You've searched all your life, I see her now flying over the universe.

Your Wonder Child, And my dreams come true
You've searched all your life, I see them now flying over the universe.

Chorus

In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we're oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here

On water we have walked like the fearless child
What was fastened we've unlocked revealing wondrous wild
And in search for confirmation
We have jumped into the fire
And scrambled with our burning feet through uncontrolled desire

Chorus

There's a well upon the hill from our ancient past
Where an age is standing still holding strong and fast
And there's those that try to tame it
And the carve it into stone
Ah but words cannot extinguish it
However hard they're thrown

Chorus

On Racherie they have worked with their island dreams
By Lough Cleggan they have nourished in the mountain streams
And in searching for acceptance
They have given it away
Only the children of our children
Know the price they had to pay

Chorus

It reads like a fairytale
and that's what it was
Young man in his prime
young girl from the cross
The most perfect of strangers
and then the night closed in
and the holy ground took care of everything

Now she was a fine one
and he was a handsome man
One look was enough
and away they ran
They spend many happy hours
and then the night closed in
and the holy ground took care of everything

Oh what's the use in complaining
In for a penny in for a pound
I remember the loving time
and nothing else really counts

And I recall the promise they made
With a faith I can but admire
That she'd be the one he adored
and he'd be her hearts desire

It didn't come true in the end
they went their separate ways
He couldn't change what he was
she wasn't ready to wait
They couldn't live in the daylight
they let the night close in
and the holy ground took care of everything

I remember the loving time
and nothing else really counts

When the morning comes
I gaze on you with desire
When the morning comes
my look will be perfectly plain
When the morning comes
my beloved one
When the morning comes
you'll know that we both feel the same

In the afternoon
misgivings will pale into nothing
In the afternoon
we'll know what it is to believe
When it's afternoon
and I covet you
In the afternoon
I'll give you no reason to leave

Done with time and patience
I moved with the crowd
Lonely in my silence
and being without
Then all in one instant
straight out of the blue
Out of all its goodness
The summer sent you

Now its evening time
and I reach for you lying beside me
Now its evening time
your kiss will be tender and sure
Now its evening time
just like every time
In the evening time
I love you as much as before

Done with time and patience
I moved with the crowd
Lonely in my silence
and being without
Then all in one instance
straight out of the blue
Out of all its goodness
The Summer sent you
All in one sweet instant
straight out of the blue
Out of all its goodness
The Summer sent you

He don't know how to lie
Or undermine you
He don't know how to steal
How to deal or deceive
So leave him alone, set him free
Cause he's speaking with the angel
That only he can see

You say he's so helpless
Well what about you
You don't pull the strings
Don't you know anything
Just leave him alone, let him be
Cause he's speaking with the angel
That only he can see

Would you teach him about heaven
Would you show him how to love the earth
Would you poison him with prejudice
From the moment of his birth

He in the name of love
He in the blood of the lamb
He that never lays blame
He don't even know his name
Just leave him alone, let him be
Cause he's speaking with the angel
Speaking with the angel
The very one that spoke to you and me
Oh do you remember?

He said darling I'm in love with you mind
The way you care for me it's so kind
Love to see you again wish I had more time
He was laughing as he brushed my cheek
Why don't you call me baby maybe next week
Promise now cross your heart and hope to die

Chorus

But I misunderstood
But I misunderstood
But I misunderstood
I thought he was saying good luck
He was saying goodbye

Repeat Chorus

Things I tried to put shine in his eyes
Wire wheels and shimmering things
Wild nights when the whole world seemed to fly
He said the thing that's so unique
When we're together we don't have to speak
We'll always be such good friends you and I

Chorus

But I misunderstood
But I misunderstood
But I misunderstood
I thought he was saying good luck
He was saying goodbye

Repeart Chorus

When times are hard and friends are few
And you need someone to help you through
Just call my name and I'll come running to your side
Don't be afraid don't be afraid

I will be there
When you are lost in the night
No where to run
I will be there
Don't be afraid don't be afraid

When morning comes and nothing's changed
And the world around plays the same old game
Just call on me and I will ease your lonely heart
Don't be afraid don't be afraid

I will be there
When you are lost in the night
No where to turn
I will be there
Don't be afraid don't be afraid
I will be there
When every one that you believe still lets you down
I will be there
Don't be afraid don't be afraid

Cause I will be there don't be afraid
I will be there don't be afraid
I will be there

When morning comes and nothing's changed
And the world around plays the same old game
When everyone still lets you down
I will be there

When morning comes and friends are few
You need someone you need someone to help you through
I will be there don't be afraid
I will be there don't be afraid
I will be there

When you are lost in the night
No where to turn
I will be there
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
I will be there

When everyone that you believe still lets you down
I will be there
Don't be afraid don't be afraid
I will be there

When you are lost in the night
No where to turn
I will be there
Don't be afraid don't be afraid

Remember when we walked on hills of heather
Singing weaving mystical rings
Now in a while my precious child
You wil unfurl your wings
And I'll have lost what I believed
Had promised everything
But before you go my friend, my kind companion
Listen to this song I sing

Then go in peace and grow in grace and goodness
Know that you have nothing to fear
And dry your eyes my little one
And let there be no tears
Send me a dream from away beyond
I promise I shall hear
Oh beautifull beloved soul companion
Thank you for those beautifull years

And heaven hold and watch your way forever
May your every dream com true
Forgive all wrong, always be strong
And do what you must do
You stand before this open door
And you must now go through
My precious friend, my own my sweet companion
Bless the road that carries you
My precious friend, myu own my sweet companion
Bless the road that carries you

The sky collapsed around us, You didn't seem to care
I hailed you through the raindrops, You weren't even there.

I juggle with the breakfast, You fret behind the sheets
I want you to be steadfast, You want to be released.

CHORUS:
Oh my pretty darling, Where did we go astray
Oh my pretty darling, I thought you'd come to stay.

We're all dollied up for the circus, Oh isn't it grand
We're laughing, jumping and kissing, We're beating the band.

I've got no more smiles to win you, No tricks to turn your head
When love cannot continue, There's not much to be said.

CHORUS

It's all cut and thrust at the circus, And maybe makes three
You're twisting my words into serpents, I'm down on my knees.

Oh my pretty darling, I thought you'd come to stay
I thought you'd come to stay, I thought you'd come to stay.

Walking all the day
Near tall towers where falcons build their nests
Siver winged they fly
They know the call of freedom in their breasts
Saw Black Head against the sky
With twisted rocks that run down to the sea

Living on your western shore
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
I stood by your Atlantic sea
And sang a song for Ireland

Talking all the day
With true friends who try to make you stay
Telling jokes and news
Singing songs to pass the night away
Watched the Galway salmon run
Like silver dancing, darting in the sun

Living on your western shore
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
I stood by your Atlantic sea
And sang a song for Ireland

Drinking all the day
In old pubs where fiddlers loved to play
Someone touched the bow
He played a reel, it seemed so grand and gay
Stood on Dingle beach
And cast in wild foam, we found Atlantic bass

Living on your western shore
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
I stood by your Atlantic sea
And sang a song for Ireland

Dreaming in the night
I saw a land where no man had to fight
Waking in your dawn
I saw you crying in the morning light
Lying where the falcons fly
They twist and turn all in you e'er blue sky

Living on your western shore
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
I stood by your Atlantic sea
And sang a song for Ireland

Across the evening sky
All the birds are leaving
But how can they know
It's time for them to go?
Before the winter fire
I will still be dreaming
I do not count the time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?

Sad deserted shore
your fickle friends are leaving
Ah, then you know
It's time for them to go
But I will still be here
I have no thought of leaving
You know I have no thought of time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?

And I am not alone
While my love is near me
I know it will be so
Until it's time to go
So come the storms of winter
And then the birds in spring again
I do not fear the time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?

Ring them bells, ye heathen
From the city that dreams
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries
Cross the valleys and streams
For they're deep and they're wide
And the world's on its side
And time is running backwards
And so is the bride

Ring the bells St.Peter
Where the four winds blow
Ring them bells with an iron hand
For the people will know
Oh it's rush hour now
On the wheel and the plow
And the sun is going down
Upon the sacred cow

Ring them bells Sweet Martha
For the poor man's son
Ring them bells so the world will know
That God is one
Oh the shephered is asleep
Where the willows weep
And the mountains they are filled
With lost sheep

Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf
Ring them bells for all of us who are left
Ring them bells for the chosen few
Who will judge the many when the day is through
Ring them bells, for the time that flies
For the child that cries
When the innocence dies

Ring them bells St.Catherine
From the top of the room
Ring the bells from the fortress
For the lillies that bloom
For the lines they are long
And the fighting is strong
And they're breaking down the distance
Between right and wrong

Cast my boat out to the ocean
and set it sails to the wind
Gentle breeze blowing into my heart
I'm alive in this gentle world
A life carefree
A life carefree

And in this love that you give me
You have to share the joy and mystery
The wonder of your smile
and the power of your words
That changes me
That changes me

Sometimes I could fly
When your heart it touches mine
Deep into the blue
Where my soul is lost
and all because of you

Gave my heart to another love
Crashing waves of pain came over me
In my distress you came and rescued me
Still the storm talked away
Of life carefree
Of life carefree

Sometimes I could fly
When your heart it touches mine
Deep into the blue
Where my soul is lost
and all because of you

When I found myself far away from you
Thats when I hear your voice
Reminding me, calling me, lifting me
Out into the blue
Out into the blue

Sometimes I could fly
When you heart it touches mine
Deep into the blue
Where my soul is lost
and all because of you

Words are flying out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai Guru De Va Om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai Guru De Va Om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter shades of love are ringing
Through my open ears [views] inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
Million suns, it calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai Guru De Va Om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Jai - Live Forever
Guru - Teacher
De Va - Heavenly One
Om - The Vibration of the Universe

If I gave my heart to you
Would you promise to be true
It would break my heart in two
If you left me waiting anticipating

Till some other magic day
I may steal your heart away
Then you would take my hand
And then understand me
When you'd really see me

In a world of different dreams
Where all things aren't what they seem
When you would take my hand

If I gave my heart
If I gave my heart
If I gave my heart to you

For only truth remains
Cause all things are just the same
The excepting part of truth

If I gave my heart
If I gave my heart
If I gave my heart to you

I found your letter in my mailbox today
You were just checking if I was okay
And if I miss you, well you know what they say
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
And I feel one coming on soon

No need to ask me if we can be friends
And help me right back on my feet again
And if I miss you, well just now and then
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
And I feel one coming on soon

There's a blue moon shining
When I am reminded of all we've been through
Such a blue moon shining
Does it ever shine down on you?

You act as if it doesn't hurt you at all
Like I'm the only one who's getting up from a fall
Don't you remember now don't you recall
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
And I feel one coming on soon
Just once in a very blue moon

I know it's the same old song I'm singing
But this time these words are just for you
That's the only thing that's new
I know that I've sung about a million
Borrowed lines and phrases from a few
This one's till as good as new
Without the fanfare I love you

By day I move words around like flowers
I deliver by the afternoon
"Cause the piper calls the tune
Today I made full use of the hours
I explored the smallest avenue
And that feeling still came through
Without the fanfare I love you

Sure I've lost my way sometimes
But I've had to pay
Sometimes I've gone completely overboard
Moved a million phrases round, tried to make them leave the ground
Still the only line that's soared
Bidding all the rest Adieu
Sounding still as good as new
Without the fanfare I love you

Hello, do I still have your attention?
I forgot to mention thanks again from the captain and the crew
And so without the sweet perfume or roses
I hope you can still believe it's true
Stripped of all that much ado
Without the fanfare I love you
Without the fanfare I love you
