Sailing away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic Rolling and riding and slipping & sliding It's magic And you, and your sweet desire, You took me, ohhh higher and higher baby, It's a living thing, It's a terrible thing to lose It's a given thing What a terrible thing to lose I'm taking a dive (echo) Making believe this is what you've conceived From your worst day, I'm takin a dive Moving in line when you look back in time To the first day, I'm taken I'm taken And you and your sweet desire, Don't you do it, don't you do it, Taking me ohh, higher and higher baby It's a living thing, It's a terrible thing to lose, It's a given thing What a terrible thing to lose I'm takin a dive Taking a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide Floating downstream, I'm takin a dive So let her go don't start spoiling the show It's a bad dream, I'm taking , I'm taking And you and your sweet desire Don't you do it, don't you do it Taking me higher and higher baby It's a livin' thing, It's a terrible thing to lose It's a given thing What a terrible thing to lose |

Working on the road across this great big world
I've been rolling like a stone, i never get back home Yes, i've been long-gone And boy, i've got the birmingham blues. Been across the ocean to the south sea isles Yeah, i travelled to the east and west for mile and miles and miles And i've been long-gone And boy, i've got the birmingham blues. Chorus: Across the world i've seen People and places Could be the same But with a different name. I wouldn't change the things i do for anything But i'd just like to hear the message of the streets again Give me a ticket Cause boy, i've got the birmingham blues. It may be kind of homely but it sure is sweet Industrial revolution put it on its feet But it's a long, long way Boy, i've got the birmingham blues. Repeat chorus I'll go and stay awhile and all the folks i meet They'll say "you won't stay long, you got them travelling feet You'll soon be long-gone 'cos boy, you got the rest of the world blues!" Repeat chorus Repeat chorus |

The streets, the signs are pointing all one way
But you don't realize just what they say You may fight, you may run, you may know what you've done It makes me feel so sad to think what I might've had I watch the stars, I watch the sun, now I watch for anyone But it's only make believe You work, you work, you work so hard and then Someone, someone will come around again You may think it's for real, but you know how you feel The places that I go don't feel good anymore I see it all rainbows in fall I see her face upon my wall But it's only make believe Fly away, bluebird fly away for me To a place somewhere far across the sea Fly away, far away, don't look back, go today The waves that crash upon the sand Another place, a far off land And every day, I have to stay, but you are free You could fly away- But it's only make believe |

Hey, boy blue, can't you hear all the noise?
It's for you, all the town's waiting there. Let us go, there's a show like you ain't seen before. Welcome home, where you been all these years? Look around, all the crowd is in tears. It's so good to see you in the streets of your town. Hey, boy blue is back. Hey, boy blue is back. Hey, boy blue is back. Hey, boy blue is back. Hey, boy blue is back. Hey, boy blue is back. I've see bold knights dropping down like flies, I've see kings rolling in the mire, I've seen God point the finger of doom to our foes. I have fought in the holiest wars, I have spent some of the holiest chores. I've been jailed, been impaled, and been dragged through the world. One thing I have learned through these years Is that no man should be stricken with fear. It should be that he walks with no care in the world. So my friends, who are gathered today, Hear this clear, for I'll not further say That no man shall cause me to take up arms again. Hey, boy blue is back. Hey, boy blue is back. Hey, boy blue is back. Hey, boy blue is back. Hey, boy blue is back. Hey, boy blue is back. |

Midnight on the water
I saw the ocean's daughter Walkin' on a waves chicane Staring as she called my name And I can't get it out of my head No I can't get it out of my head Now my old world is gone for dead Cos I can't get it out of my head Breakdown on the shore line Can't move, it's and ebb tide Morning don't go here tonight Searching for her silver light (repeat chorus) Bank job in the city Robin Hood and William Tell and Ivanhoe and Lancelot they don't envy me Sitting till the sun goes down In dreams the world keeps going round and round (repeat chorus |

You made a fool of me, but them broken dreams have got to end.
Hey woman, you got the blues, cos′ you ain′t got no one else to use. There′s an open road that leads nowhere, so just make some miles between here and there There′s a hole in my head where the rain comes in You took my body and played to win Ha Ha woman it′s a crying shame But you ain′t got no one else to blame Rolled in from another town, Hit some gold too hot to settle down, But a fool and his money soon go separate ways, And you found a fool lyin′ in a daze, Ha Ha woman what you gonna do, You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you, It′s so good that you′re feeling pain, But you better get yourself on board the very next train. Evil woman how you done me wrong, But now you′re tryin′ to wail a different song, Ha Ha funny how you broke me up, you made the wine now you drink the cup I came runnin′ every time you cried, Thought I saw love smilin′ in your eyes, Ha Ha very nice to know, that you ain′t got no place left to go |

I don't mind the pain, or the jokers' cold refrain
The days pass by so slowly, I count them all again Silence of a basement, shades all closed at noon Lie awake for fear of strangers Darkness comes on slowly, twilight is the ecstasy Like a candle burning bright, shadows dance until the night Empty rooms and chilling smiles They go on for miles and miles Chorus: But in the evening when the sun goes down Crawl from the shadows got to get into town Where the music is playin' all across the night And every cloud disappears from sight There goes a loser, another loser gone There goes another, another who's alone There goes a loser, another loser gone wild I don't mind if violins don't play I won't listen to them anyway I don't care what people say Some things just can't be arranged Icy fingers touching you. Silent voices calling too What else is there to lose- I am here but where are you? Repeat Chorus |

Got love, if that's what you need
I got three or four babies sittin' on my knee I got love waitin' for you I come sneakin' round the corner of the avenue You gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, or I will get you You know you gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, before I get you There's one thing that's on my mind And that's getting hold of you before I serve my time I'll keep on, with my heavy load Till I see you come a strollin' down that open road You gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, or I will get you You know you gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, before I get you I love you Ma-Ma-Ma Belle That's why I want to get it all well I'm sure you can tell I got, good soul, runnin' so deep Gonna get you in the corner so that I can keep Can't you hear me once Ma-Ma-Ma Belle You gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, or I will get you You know you gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, before I get you |

Just got back from the downtown palais
Where the music was so sweet It knocked me right back in the alley I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready, Wo, wo, wo, I'm ready And I'm really gonna rock tonight. Sweet little lady sings like a songbird And she sings the opera like you ain't never heard, But she ain't ready, No, no, no, she ain't ready No, no, no, she ain't ready, And she ain't gonna rock & roll CHORUS She's sweet on Wagner, I think she'd die for Beethoven, She loves the way Puccini lays down a tune, And Verdi's always creeping from her room Come on I'll show you how to sing the blues Now baby, come on over you got nothin' to lose, Are you ready, hey, hey, hey are you ready Ooh, ooh, ooh, are you ready I wanna show you how to rock and roll. Now listen here baby she, said to me Just, meet me at the opera house at a quarter to three, 'Cos I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready, Woo, hoo, hoo, I'm ready, I'm gonna show you how to sing the blues. CHORUS -- repeat Far, far away the music is playing. Well we were reelin' and a rockin' all through the night, Yea we were rockin' at the opera house until the break of light, And the orchestra were playin' all Chuck Berry's greatest tunes. And the singers in the chorus all got off on singing blues, And as the night grew older everybody was as one, The people on the streets came runnin' in to join in song Just to hear the opera singer singin' rock & roll so pure, I thought I saw the mayor there but I wasn't really sure, But it's alright. |

The visions dancing in my mind
The early dawn, the shades of time Twilight crawling through my windowpane Am i awake or do i dream? The strangest pictures i have seen Night is day and twilight's gone away With your head held high and your scarlet lies You came down to me from the open skies It's either real or it's a dream There 's nothing that is in between... Twilight, i only meant to stay awhile Twilight, i gave you time to steal my mind Away from me. Across the night i saw your face You disappeared without a trace You brought me here, but can you take me back? Inside the image of your light That now is day and once was night You lead me here and then you go away. Repeat chorus (you brought me here, but can you take me back again?) With your head held high and your scarlet lies You came down to me from the open skies It's either real or it's a dream There's nothing that is in between... Repeat chorus Twilight, i only meant to stay awhile Twilight, i only meant to stay awhile Twilight, i gave you time to steal my mind Away from me. |

Hello, Mr. Radio, you friendly station,
So glad of your company, your morning music. My wife she ran away, she left our home, And though you're here with me, I'm on my own. Hello, Mr. Radio, you friendly speaker, You played my request today, request to see her. Your voice comes riding home across the air, You travel 'round the world, but still you're here. I heard on the news, today the world is no good, But if she returns today, mine could be so good. I look into the sky, your waves rush by, The weatherman has lied, it makes me cry. Hello, Mr. Radio, do I disturb you? Sometimes I forget my place, I seem to know you. I miss you when you close, you'll never know, And when your programmes go, I'm on my own. |

Who thanked the Lord for the clothes
that she wore and mended, Nellie with the big old fashioned eyes Who won the heart of a crowd tore apart, took a bow, Nellie there's a different world backstage (Chorus:) I see the flood lights burning I hear the band play on Now Nellie takes her bow She said she really could not stay She had a brand new play to play And so she paints her face and smiles And she'll be someone else in a while (Chorus) Just a lonely girl who could not face a broken world, And so she acts out all her dreams and wishes that's how it had been But when the audience is near, it seems as though she doesn't even care. (Chorus) Nellie just sent me a line to tell me she was doing fine She got the lead and on Broadway, and now they're digging her today And as she turns the final page, living someone's life upon the stage (Chorus |

Black was the night that came in from the East and caused the land to sleep. Riding on a storm, it carved a message in Isabella Creek. (Chorus) Dawn is the death wish night has passed away, it left the sacred flower, Opened up the grave and bowed its life unto the Queen of Hours |

Whisper in the night
Over silent evening air Angel's gown shines white All at once you're glad she's there Daughter of your dream shine a guiding light for me For I'll be here till light Whisper in the night Till she has forgiven me Night turns into gold So the tide may turn today Though God gave the world It's not mine to throw away Daughter of your dream shine a guiding light for me For I'll be here till light Whisper in the night Till she has forgiven me La da da da Whisper in the night Till she has forgiven me Help to face what the day may bring Angels sing You were sent to make the night be kind What will I find Snowflake bird she came Taking grey clouds from your door Face the midnight sun You have something to live for Daughter of your dream shine a guiding light for me For I'll be here till light Whisper in the night Till she has forgiven me La da da da Whisper in the night Till she has forgiven me |

Seems like forever and time left to spare
When I look out the window And still youre not there Youre a long time gone Such a long time gone Tearing down memories bitter and sweet Smashing away til its all obsolete Youre a long time gone, long time gone Such a long time gone, long time gone Youre a long time gone Do I wonder why Every day that i Think about you still And I always will Did so much for me Now I think I see This I do believe Feels more like a dream Looked at the weeds in the broken concrete Before the bulldozers waltzed in and killed the old street Youre a long time gone, long time gone Such a long time gone, long time gone Door steps that shone in a bright summer sky Lay shattered and wasted since our last goodbye Youre a long time gone, long time gone Such a long time gone, long time gone Youre a long time gone Do I wonder why Every day that i Think about you still And I always will Youre a long time gone Did so much for me Now I think I see This I do believe Feels more like a dream Youre a long time gone Do I wonder why Youre a long time gone You never did I never said goodbye Youre a long time gone |

Been true to herself Never swayed by the notions of somebody else She'd had it rough, maybe most of the time With only one thing on her mind All she wanted was a lovin' man All she wanted was a lovin' man Who was tryin' to do the best that he can All she wanted was a lovin', lovin' man There could be blue skies in her heart She was waitin' for the good times to start She never wanted diamonds She never wanted gold She was holdin' out for someone to hold All she wanted was a lovin' man All she wanted was a lovin' man Who was tryin' to do the best that he can All she wanted was a lovin', lovin' man A loving man All she wanted was a lovin' man All she wanted was a lovin' man All she wanted was a lovin' man Who was tryin' to do the best that he can All she wanted was a lovin', lovin' man Loving man All she wanted was a lovin' man All she wanted was a lovin' man All she wanted was a lovin' man All she wanted was a lovin' man |

The gold verandah in the dark has gone,
Down to the metal man, No better time to leave the ground, And maybe try to understand, You gotta hold on to somethin' that you believe, Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright, And through the darkest times of your life, You always tried to be the one, And now the times have made you wonder, If you ever knew what was going on, You gotta hold on to somethin' that you believe, Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright, Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright. (Solo) No use thinkin' about what you ain't got, Just makes you bitter, And as you speak everything you say, Goes out on the Big Transmitter, You gotta hold on to somethin' that you believe, Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright, Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright. |

That's what you gave to me Cold, tight, late and mean Beyond my wildest dreams Now that it's over And the sun came out to shine Don't look for me 'Cause I set myself free In my own time New days have come along And now I'm at where I belong Blue sky shines above And I got someone to love Now I think about it Lifts the clouds from my mind Goin' out on the sea Getting further from me In my own time My own time Bye, bye, bye, bye Is that a tear in your eye Too late to cry You and your precious disguise Sometimes I wonder if I ever saw the sign But it's too late to care 'Cause I've done that, been there In my own time So don't look for me 'Cause I set myself free In my own time In my own time |

The signals dance upon the twilight Calling out to reach someone Who waits there in the lonely night Just for love Just for love Soon beyond the melting clouds The light will shine on everyone That waits there in the silver rain To meet the golden sun Just for love Just for love Just for love Just for love I came a long way 'cross the water Came a long way to get here Round and round in great big circles tryin' to ease my fear Out in all the mysteries and distant new tomorrows There goes another one don't know which way the wind blows Just for love Just for love Just for love Just for love Love ... we're gonna get it right Just for love We're gonna get it together We're gonna get it right Just for love We're gonna get it together We're gonna get it right |

Remember the good old 1980s
When things were so uncomplicated ? I wish I could go back there again And everything could be the same. I've got a ticket to the moon I'll be leaving here any day soon Yeah, I've got a ticket to the moon But I'd rather see the sunrise in your eyes. Got a ticket to the moon I'll be rising high above the earth so soon And the tears I cry might turn into the rain That gently falls upon your window You'll never know. Ticket to the moon Ticket to the moon Ticket to the moon Fly, fly through a troubled sky Up to a new world shining bright Flying high above Soaring madly through the mysteries that come Wondering sadly if the ways that led me here Could turn around and I would see you there Standing there Ticket to the moon Flight leaves here today from Satellite Two As the minutes go by, what should I do? I paid the fare, what more can I say? It's just one way Ticket to the moon.. |

I see the lonely road that leads so far away,
I see the distant lights that left behind the day. But what I see is so much more than I can say And I see you in midnight blue. I see you crying now you've found a lot of pain. and what you're searching for can never be the same. But what's the difference 'cos they say what's in a name. And I see you in midnight blue. I will love you tonight and I'll stay by your side. Loving you, I'm feeling midnight blue, I see you standing there far out along the way I want to touch you but the night becomes the day, I count the words what I am never gonna say. And I see you in midnight blue. I will love you tonight and I'll stay by your side. Loving you, I'm feeling midnight blue, Can't you feel the love that I'm offering you Can't you see how it's meant to be. Can't you hear the words that I'm saying to you. Can't you believe like I believe It's only one and one it's true, Still I see you in midnight blue, I see, see beautiful days and I feel, feel beautiful ways of loving you, everything's midnight blue. I will love you tonight and I'll stay by your side. Loving you, I'm feeling midnight blue, 저 멀리 끝없이 펼쳐진 쓸쓸한 길이 보입니다 하루를 뒤로하는 저 멀리 가물거리는 빛이 보입니다 하지만 난 말로 할 수 있는 것보다 더욱 많은 것을 보고 있어요 서글픈 이 밤에 난 그대를 바라봅니다 지금 그대의 눈물 어린 모습이 보입니다 이제야 당신은 아픔을 느낀 거지요 그대가 애써 찾았던 건 이런게 아니었을 거예요 하지만 다를 게 뭐가 있나요 사람들도 그러잖아요 그게 뭔데 그러냐고 서글픈 이 밤에 난 그대를 바라봅니다 오늘 밤 그대를 사랑하렵니다 그대 곁에 머물겠어요 그대를 사랑하고 있어요 이 밤의 서글픔이 느껴져요 저 멀리 길을 따라 서 있는 그대 모습이 보입니다 그대에게 가만히 손을 대고 싶지만 조금씩 어둠이 걷혀가네요 입에서 맴도는 이 말들은 영원히 그대에게 할 수 없겠지요 서글픈 이 밤에 모든 것이 서글퍼요 오늘 밤 그대를 사랑하렵니다 그대 곁에 머물겠어요 그대를 사랑하고 있어요 이 밤의 서글픔이 느껴져요 그대는 느끼지 못하나요 내가 당신에게 쏟아붓는 내 사랑을 우린 이렇게 될 수밖에 없다는 걸 모르시나요 그대에게 하고 있는 이 내 말이 들리지 않나요 내가 믿고 있는 것처럼 그대는 믿을 수 없나요 그것은 단 한가지 정말 진실한 것 아직도 서글픈 이 밤에 난 그대를 바라봅니다 아름답게 빛나는 날들이 보여요 그대를 사랑하는 아름다운 모습들이 느껴져요 서글픈 날의 모든 것들이 오늘 밤 그대를 사랑하렵니다 그대 곁에 머물겠어요 그대를 사랑하고 있어요 이 밤의 서글픔이 느껴져요 |

Well I, I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand, I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun, And I've seen sweet dreams that came from the heavenly skies above.

Do ya, do ya want my love Do ya, do ya want my face Do ya, do ya want my mind Well I, heard the choir singin' out of tune, As they sang Auld Lang Syne by the light of the moon. I heard the preacher bangin' on the drums, But I never heard nothing like you. In the country, where the sky touches down On the field, you lay your head down to rest in the morning sun. They come a'runnin' just to get a look, just to Feel to touch your long black hair, they don't give a damn. Well I, do you understand what I'm trying to say to you all, That is I'd like to save you for a rainy day, yeah, I've seen enough of the world to know baby, That I've got to get it on to get it on tomorrow. |

But them broken dreams have got to end Hey woman you got the blues Cause you ain't got no one else to use There's an open road that leads no where So just make some miles between here and there There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in You took my body and played to win Ha, ha woman, it's a crying shame But you ain't got nobody else to blame *Evil woman, evil woman Evil woman, evil woman Rolled in from another town Hit some gold, too hot to settle down But a fool and his money soon go separate ways And you found a fool lyin' in a daze Ha ha woman What you gonna do You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you It's so good that you're feelin' pain But you better get your face board the very next train * repeat (x2) Evil woman how you done me wrong But now you're to wail a different song Ha, ha funny how you broke me up ]You made the wine now you drink a cup I come runnin' every time you cried I thoughjt I saw love smilin' in your eyes Ha, ha very nice to know That you ain't got no place left to go * repeat |

I used to think she was the greatest thing
I really cared, gave her a diamond ring She said she'd rather die than ever leave me Well I never saw her face since then And if the law don't get her then I will- Four little diamonds She must be somewhere on the open road She always said she was a lonely one She gets you down with her tales of woe She took me for everything And if the law don't get her then I will Four little diamonds *I looked around I climbed up high into the dawn But she was gone with the night I thought about the things she said And all the things we'd done But where could she run- she ran away There's just no answer to give I keep wonderin' about her, day and night She probably thinks I was a fool- she's right She don't know it But I'm gonna keep on searchin' for that woman I'm gonna search everywhere And if the law don't get her then I will Four little diamonds * Repeat I still hear her callin' out to me, I still listen for her endlessly But it never even crossed my mind she was a cheater I gotta find where she hides 'Cause if the law don't get her then I will Four little diamonds |

Hold on tight to your dream
Hold on tight to your dream When you see your ship go sailing When you feel your heart is breaking Hold tight to your dream. It's a long time to be gone Time just rolls on and on When you need a shoulder to cry on When you get so sick of trying Just hold tight to your dream *When you get so down that you can't get up And you want so much but you're all out of luck When you're so downhearted and misunderstood Just over & over & over you could Accroches-toi a ton reve Accroches-toi a ton reve Quand tu vois ton bateau partir Quand tu sents -- ton coeur se briser Accroches-toi a ton reve. * Repeat Hold on tight to your dream Hold on tight to your dream When you see the shadows falling When you hear that cold wind calling Hold on tight to your dream. Oh, yeah Hold on tight to your dream Yeah, hold on tight... To your dream. |

IT'S OVER
Summer came and passed away, hardly seemed to last a day but it's over and what can I do? Music playin' in the air, silence on a darkened stair 'cos it's over and what can I do? It's over, it's over, all over, it's all over now and the way you looked don't even mean I'm down. When you kick out the sea and the sun says goodbye there is nothing much to speak of. Feelin' down, down, down, it's all over. Feelin' down, down, down. Baby, baby, it's all gone, rolled out to sea. Lookin' over sunny days, searchin' for the righteous wave 'cos it's over and what can I do? Lookin' from this distant shore you ain't sailin' by no more 'cos it's over and what can I do? It's over, it's over, all over, it's all over now and the way you looked don't even mean I'm down. When you kick out the sea and the sun says goodbye there is nothing much to speak of. Feelin' down, down, down, it's all over. Feellin' down, down, down. Ah, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's all over and what can I do? Ah, it's over, it's over, it's all over. Oh, it's over, it's over. Don't shed a tear for me, it's over, don't shed a tear although it's over. |

It was 9:29...
9:29, back street, big city The sun was going down There was music all around It felt so right. It was one of those nights One of those nights When you feel the world stop turning You were standing there There was music in the air I should have been away But I knew I had to stay *Last train to London, just heading out Last train to London, just leaving town But I really want tonight to last forever I really want to be with you Let the music play on down the line tonight. It was one of those nights One of those nights When you feel the fire burning Everybody was there Everybody to share It was so right. There you were on your own Looking like you were the only one around I had to be with you Nothing else that I could do I should have been away But I knew I had to stay. *Repeat Underneath a starry sky Time was still but hours must really have rushed by I didn't realize But love was in your eyes I really should have gone But love went on and on. *Repeat But I really want tonight to last forever I really want to be with you Let the music play on down the line tonight |

It's like magic Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin' It's magic *And you and your sweet desire You took me higher and higher It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a given thing What a terrible thing to lose Making believe this is what you conceived From your worst day Moving in line, then you look back in time To your first day * Repeat Takin' a dive 'cause you can't halt the slide Floating downstream So let her go, don't start spoiling the show It's a bad dream * Repeat |

Early in the morning,
The sun was up and the sky was very blue. Without a warning, As I looked out, my thoughts returned to you. A noise in the city made the children run, And hide themselves away, And thunder boomed and lightning filled the sky. Looking from this window, A thousand rivers running past my door. Standing on an island, looking for someone Upon the shore, I can see it very clearly nothing's really changed, Then lightning strikes across an empty sky. *Ooh - the rain is falling, Ooh - the rain is falling, Ooh - the rain is falling, Will it wash away the lonely tears. With their brand new time transporter, They'll think maybe I fought to get away. But with all their great inventions, And all their good intentions here I stay. Down on the corner where the sun had shone, The people gathered 'round, Then scattered as the raindrops hit the ground, * Repeat |

Although the things you've done I wouldn't criticize.
I guess you had your way. You see I gotta make you understand. I know it sounds a foolish thing to say. But it don't matter baby 'cos' today's another day. *You shine a little love on my life You shine a little love on my life You shine a little love on my life and let me see. Remember,tonight we're gonna run till dawn Remember,tonight we're gonna say. We'll never stop we got a good thing goin' on. I know you've heard it all before. But I really need you darlin' every day I need you more. * Repeat Can you understand.(Yes I understand) Can you feel it's right. (I know it is) Will you be the same.(I'll do it all again). It's been a year now and it's getting so much better. You came home without a word. Though everybody said you'll soon forget her. Thay couldn't see and they just didn't understand. And lookin' in the mirror there were fools at either hand. Can you understand.(Yes I understand) Can you feel it's right. (I know it is) Will you be the same.(I'll do it all again). How many days had I been waiting there to tell you. I really can't believe. We're walkin' out into the world tonight. We'll do it all again until the break of light. And the feelin' in your heart will soon be shinin' in your eyes * Repeat |

They were hangin' around the corner, They were stayin' till the end On the other side of midnight, I was lookin' for a place to stay And one thing's sure for certain, I ain't never goin' back again The streetlights looked so pretty as they spread into a town I was lookin' for another sundown And my head was spinning round and round *Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger Lookin' through the eyes of danger Lookin' at the all-night dancer Never takin' all the chances As I walked into the main street, saw a crowd across the square And I heard a guitar playin' and I saw you standing there * Repeat Distant bells they started ringing, somewhere far off in the night And the place was full of loneliness that disappeared from sight |

The visions dancing in my mind,
The early dawn the shades of time. Twilight crawling through my window pane. Am I awake or do I dream, The strangest pictures I have seen, Night is day and twilight's gone away. With your head held high and your scarlet lies, You came down to me from the open skies, It's either real or it's a dream There's nothing that is in between *Twilight, I only meant to stay a while Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind Away from me. Across the night I saw your face You disappeared without a trace You brought me here but can you take me back. Inside the image of your light That now is day and once was night You leave me here and then you go away. You brought me here but can you take me back again. With your head held high and your scarlet lies, You came down to me from the open skies, It's either real or it's a dream There's nothing that is in between * Repeat |

But I know you're far away I've waited so long to talk to you But now I can't find the words to say So I sit and I listen to you Breathe on the open line I can almost taste your lips And touch your hair It's like intoxicating wine I can almost see your face Through the miles and miles of space *I can feel the power of a million lights When I see your eyes burn bright I can see the sparks of a million volts When you touch me through the night I can feel the heat across a million miles When you voice comes through the line I can feel the power of a million lights Come through the satellite Although these oceans hold us apart Where there's a will there's a way I'm going to reach across the miles of sea No matter what they say So close your eyes and I'll be there There's magic in the sky tonight When you see the lightning flash around the world It's the power of a million lights Until I see your face Through the miles and miles of space *Repeat Somewhere over the atmosphere The signals are crossed Now you're not so clear The power is out and the lights are down My head is spinning Round and round and round and round and round You know I need you more tonight By the power of a million lights |

Stepping out of the shadows
I'm blinded by the light there'll be no more wasted days No more sleepless nights Stepping out of your shadow I finally see the light No more mister nice guy I'm ready for the fight Weight off my shoulders No more tears to cry The chains are broken now I see through your disguise I'm so glad you're gone So glad you said goodbye I'm so glad you're gone So glad you said goodbye Do you really think I'd just lay down and die No infatuation I don't believe your lies I can see clearly now The truth behind your eyes Weight off my shoulders No more tears to cry The chains are broken I see through your disguise *I'm so glad you're gone So glad you said goodbye I'm so glad you're gone So glad you said goodbye No more angry words, no chance for you to lie Did you really think I'd just lay down and die Passion fades away Love can turn to hate And all the words I want to say Are left in the hands of fate *Repeat |

I wait till everyone's asleep
Then out into the night I creep No one can see me now Or hear me running, soundlessly The moon's the only light I need To search for food, young ones to feed But as the dawn is drawing near the earth, my way's not clear I'm trapped on the outside Moonlight save me, moonlight save me Moonlight save me, moonlight save me Unearthly fear, it grips my skin Unearthly sound, the hunt begins I hear excited cries But dare not look from where I'm hiding The multi-coloured humans ride Soon they will find me where I hide The brown and white tormentors Begin to howl and then I'm running Moonlight save me I cut across the trail I left five miles before One chance to throw them off my scent but I'm not sure An elder told me it had worked sometime before My heart is beating like a drum I make the ridge, but can't go on I turn to face my death But nothing comes to stop me breathing Down in the clearing now I see They're searching all around for me Confusion everywhere But I am safe up here, I've won, I've won, I've won, I've won, I've won |

Lipstick traces on an unmade bed
We drank all night and got devils in our head She said some things that should have stayed unsaid Emotions overflowing Now I don't know what to believe Sitting here in the cold light of the day She felt anger, I felt pain I walked out into the pouring rain Packed my bags and took the midnight train Didn't care where it was going On my way, running like a thief Hard to leave, but harder to stay There's no wrong, there's no right But sometimes she breaks all the rules And lying here alone tonight Can't believe love can be so cruel Wish I'd believed her 'Cos now I need her Sometimes the truth just hurts too much She goes straight to the heart With a truth that always finds me She goes straight to the heart And pulls tight the ties that bind me She can be so cold, and it tears me apart When she twists the knife It goes straight to the heart Sometimes love is an endless fight It's never simple, never black and white Just like ships passing in the night Who knows where they're going No forgiveness, no reprieve Both sailing their separate ways Light of day, dead of night I'm searching for what I can't find Try and try as I might I can't get her out of my mind Wish I'd believed her 'Cos now I need her I guess we all must love and learn She goes straight to heart With a truth that always finds me She goes straight to the heart And pulls tight the ties that bind me She can be cold, and it tears me apart When she twists the knife It goes straight to the heart |
