Simple Minds - Black & White 050505 (2005) by Simple Minds (보컬) on maniadb.com

The road opens wide
There is space here for two of us
If I could slip under the wire
We'd wait here
Just stay here a while
Slumped, the body's tired and this fear
Never lets me sleep
Your smile
This trial elates
In your eyes
I see mothers open gates

If fortune could smile
There'd be room here for two of us
And I would burn myself through the wires
With hate
Concentrated
Unearthed
Disparate
In time

Once in a while
If peace held for two of us
If we could show mercy a while
With patience
Transcending
This coldness, never ending, thru time

And if home still matters
And if these bones,
Were not so shattered
What state so desperate,
Within a hollow shell, in a forgotten state
Come tear the dirt from my eyes

God gave me travelling shoes
God gave me the wanderer's eye
God gave a few gold coins to help me to the other side
Looked around and said - be careful how the small things grow
God gives me travelling shoes
And I knew that it was time to go.
He then sent in the ship at night
To take me to the hidden port
Found me the key at last
To open up the prison door
Brought down blackbirds wings
Gifted me with beggars eyes
Sent in the jackals
To tell me I should say bye, bye, bye
I'm home
Home
Home, Home, Home
And I'm home
Home
Home, Home, Home
But I'm miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away
Oh where can I hide ?
God gave me one last chance
Gave me one last reprieve
He then gave me hunger
Gave me the air to breath
Gave one suit case
Gave one last goodbye
Gave me travelling shoes
And without them I would surely die, die ,die

Home
Home
Home, Home, Home
Home
Home
Home, Home, Home
Miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away
Miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away
Oh where do I go ?
Oh where can I hide ?
Home
Home
Home, Home, Home

And I'm home
Home
Home, Home, Home
And I'm miles away
Miles away
Im running far away

Tell me why.
Do you know what were looking for?
Any truth in the rumours I ignore?
Tell me why, I still deny?
Anytime secrets, in every sound.
I can keep my feet up off the ground.
I'm in the air, reeling everywhere.
There's something new and I must say.
It makes me feel so super real. Just look and you'll find.
We are drifting through space and time.

Stranger, beautiful stranger,
Come tell me if you are, the silent star, Explain!
Stranger, beautiful stranger,
I wonder if you are the silent star,
Explain.

Tell me why, do you know what we're looking for?
Any truth in the rumours I ignore?
Then tell me why I still deny?

Summertime,
Winter,
Moonlight,
And the Sun.
I get the feeling this has just begun,
And yet it feels so super real.
Look and you'll find,
We are moving through space and time.

Tell me who you are.
Tell me who you are.

It's all right.
It's all right.
Let me go high.
Let me go high.

Let me go high into a different world.
Let me go high into a different world.

It's all right, it's ok
to believe in something.
You find the spark inside yourself.
It begins from nothing,
from the man of the cave
to the soul of the brave,
for the love of God.
Let me go now.

Let me go high into a different world.
Let me go high into a different world.
Let me go high into a different world.

It's all right, it's ok
to believe in something,
but if it falls between ourselves
could kill like nothing.
From the man of the cave
to the soul of the brave.
For the love of God,
let me close now.

Let me go high into a different world.
Let me go high into a different world.
Let me go by into a different world.
Let me go high into a different world.
Let me go high into a different world.

Although every building's standing tall,
I look to you as something that much greater.
I searched through all religion, in the hope that something would entice.
I dreamed of crossing bridges, mountain ridges,
From the Pole to the Equator,
But when I saw you skating by a€" I was underneath the ice.
I woke up staring at the sun,
I searched for you in every hidden angle.
All through my imagination, every face and place, every memory inside,
High above the clouds they say there are galaxies and other destinations...
And then I saw you skating by - but I was underneath the ice.

Today I dreamed another dream, predestined to come and save me... later,
Today I dreamed another dream that you would come to take me home,

I'm in a golden temple,
in a bombed out street,
feel the rough and tumble
down where the borders meet.
I hear a sandstorm falling
down where the tears have dried
and there's a west wind calling,
but I get no reply.

And I kiss the ground,
I kiss the ground,
nothing around.

There is no hidden karma,
there is no sacred plight,
there is no special armour
to take me through the night.

I kiss the ground,
I kiss the ground,
nothing around,

I kiss the ground.
I kiss the ground,
nothing around.

Into the space between us,
into the words that say
that every law demeans us
then every price you pay.

There is no hidden karma,
there is no sacred plight,
there is no special armour
to take me through the night.

I kiss the ground,
I kiss the ground,
nothing around,

I kiss the ground.
I kiss the ground,
I kiss the ground,
nothing around,

I kiss the ground.

There is no manna-mania,
there is no banquet here,
there is only ghettoes.

I kiss the ground.

Say that
Say it's wise
They say that
It´s the only time
To reach for what remains
To look o'er what's the same

Dolphins swim around
And dolphins drag me down
Drag me down

Say that, it's the truth
There's an ocean
Right in front of you
And dolphins, hit the sound
And when dolphins circle around

And if it seems so
Like the world juts in
Those dolphins drag me down
Drag me down

Say that, say it´s wise
Say that, that it's the only vice
Yet you say so what remains ?
And look so uncertain

And dolphins look around
And those dolphins drag me down
Drag me down

And so the world juts in
Those dolphins drag me down
Drag me down
