Leaving all their thoughts behind
Passing over timeless wastes of ecstasy Freedom strangled at the source Takes the only charted course That leads them home Their bodies move towards the dawn The light in which a nation born Can only hope, and only weep Their passion may be growing weak How was alone, recall me if you can I feel I am lost within you Many times within the sound of emptiness A light has shown deep in each others soul Keeps them apart, a love now makes them whole Fractured memories tearing at all their dreams Made life and living a faded scene To give a name locked in despair Makes chances of a lifetime course across your eyes To give and get, and yet return Emotion smoulders, starts to burn in harmony They lay within a ruined shell Searching for the time to tell That he who followed endlessly Does not exist, can never be How was alone, recall me if you can I feel I have lost within you A part of what is held inside a deep regret Taking over all that a hearts request Answered by cries from a wilderness Found forgotten lying in deeper sleep Touching once is so hard to keep In emptiness, a light has shown deep in each others soul Keeps them apart, a love now makes them whole Fractured memories tearing at all their dreams Made life and living a faded scene Taking over all that a hearts request Answered by cries from a wilderness Found forgotten lying in deeper sleep Touching once is so hard to keep |

Morning people take the news
A paper window on a world They live on undisturbed Thoughts may fly like the lonely birds And lost behind the silent words Voices are unheard Put it down to city life Oh if I understood Passing by so easily I'd reach you if I could Can you hear me Can you hear me Fly like a song, fly while you're singing A song without you, is a bird without winging Some city flights leave in the morning Some city nights end without warning Can you hear me call Evening people see the day A silhouette on every face A shadow on their eyes I take my place within the crowd We walk the dusty streets around Encompassing our lives Put it down to city times Oh if I understood Passing by so casually I'd reach you if I could Can you hear me Can you hear me Fly like a song, fly while you're singing A song without you, is a bird without winging Some city flights leave in the morning Some city nights end without warning Can you hear me call Can you hear me call Can you hear me call [Instrumental] Calling to the sky The thunder drowns my voice within the rain And I know you're near me And I call throughout the storm I know that you don't hear me I call your name I call your name I call your name Can you hear me call your name Can you hear me call Hear me call your name I call your name I call your name Can you hear me call your name [Instrumental] Night time people find it hard To hear themselves above the noise The music holds its own I recognised a place I'd known I turned to find it carved in |

Destination outward bound
I turn to see the northern lights behind the wing Horizons seem to beckon me Learned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing The northern lights are in my mind They guide me back to you Horizons seem to beckon me Learned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing You know it's hard away from you Travelling roads and passing through It's not for money and it's not for fame I just can't explain, sometimes it's lonely Marking the space between the days Early hours pass away I sing to you of northern lights I sing for you of northern nights Past or future, here or there Shelter comes in words from you, so talk to me I hear your voice, it comforts me In morning dreams I take your hand, you walk with me The northern lights are in my mind They guide me back to you Peace enfolds the still night air Home again I look for you and find you there Desintation homeward now Take the easy way, bring me down Making the hard way now I see Hard to be really free, I'm missing you near me Marking the space between the days Early hours pass away I sing to you of northern lights I sing for you of northern nights The northern lights are in my mind They guide me back to you The northern nights are in my eyes They guide me back to you The northern lights are in my mind They guide me back to you The northern nights are in my eyes They guide me back to you The northern lights are in my mind They guide me back to you The northern nights are in my eyes They guide me back to you |

Met a man with the answer to everything
Books and words from philsophers come Analysed and he cut down a winter tree To find the sun Fell asleep, had a dream by the winter tree Heard the snow fall and melt into spring Saw the ice lose its hold On the pale frost grass To which it clings [Chorus:] Have you ever seen a better day Though we follow many different ways Though your mind may hold the winter time Spring is never very far behind In the summer under open skies We'll see the sunshine, shine on Take it easy live today today We'll see the sunshine, shine on When I woke there I was by the winter tree Nothing changed but a thought in the air Seasons turn, take their days And in time, I'll take mine I'll go back there [Chorus] Shine on Take it easy live today today We'll see the sunshine, shine on |

Travel the days of freedom
Roads leading everywhere Come with me now and show how you care Follow the dying embers Cross on the paths that they lay Breath of the past the earths yesterday Clear your mind maybe you will find That the past is still turning Circles sway echo yesterday Ashes burning ashes burning Colours are fading starlight Silver the way to find Walking the shadows, there in our mind Changing the order slowly Leaving the mist of time Fingers are holding fragments of mine Clear your mind maybe you will find That the past is still turning Circles sway echo yesterday Ashes burning ashes burning Imagine the burning embers They glow below and above Your sins you won't remember And all you'll find there is love Ashes are burning brightly The smoke can be seen from afar So now you're seeing how far Ashes are burning the way Ashes are burning the way |

Dollars down the penny drain
Frozen in the clouds Dream away the last of pain In waterfalls of sounds Float across the icy pools Leaves with curl and sway Now your mind is floating cool And you can find the way Can you understand you can really understand When the darkness comes you still shine Open up your eyes and make the day shine sunshine now Open up your dreams and make the way shine sunshine now Can you understand you understand Can you understand you understand Open up your life and make your lifetime sunshine now Open up your soul and make your lifeline sunshine now Can you understand you understand Can you understand you understand Dancing without moving now Growing with your soul One with all around you now Related to the all Purple mist around your hair Eyes are fading blue Smiling into everywhere Love is coming through |

Down into the world of seeing Come and you'll be free Take the time to find the feeling See everything on it's own And you'll find you know the way And you'll know the things you're shown Owe everything to the day *See the carpet of the sun The green grass soft and sweet Sands upon the shores of time Of oceans mountains deep Part of the world that you live in You are the part that you're giving Come into the day Feel the sunshine warmth around you Sounds from far away Music of the love that found you The seed that you plant today Tomorrow will be a tree And living goes on this way It's all part of you and me *Repeat (2x) See the carpet of the sun See the carpet of the sun See the carpet of the sun See the carpet of the sun |

Running hard towards what used to be
Losing ground in changes sliding endlessly Reaching out for mirrors hidden in the web Painting lines upon your face inside instead Sounds so bad the music's flat on every line Songs of blackened lace know you're dying all the time Sounds so bad you let the music take your soul Slipping through the day Lose the only way you know Running hard towards what used to be Losing ground in changes sliding endlessly Reaching out for things you want to see Find reflections of insane reality La la ... Running hard towards what used to be Losing ground in changes sliding endlessly Reaching out for shadows passing through See the dark around is coming down on you |

I love you like a stream
flows restless to the sea see you like the mist touches clouds, touches me See you in the stars whereever you may be I think of you think of you If ever you're near and have some time to spend I love you every way love you like a friend And then when you leave a whisper in my mind I think of you think of you When I see a bird fly over to the sea and the sun in the sky is shining warm and free And when I feel the wind blow cool over me I think of you think of you |

I am words, I am speaking
I never heard my conclusion Lost the way in my confusion, in illusion Lost inside the picture frame I'm not to blame, I didn't see the black flame I'm not ashamed, its poetry, the black flame I'm rearranged, it's changing me, the black flame Burns my blackened brain I am strong, I am leaving I never knew I'd feel the need so Where to go, I'll turn the flow, I could not know Screams inside the burning pain It's spinning head, it's under hand --the black flame It lies instead, I turned and I ran --the black flame On me, it fed,I understand --the black flame Burns my blackened brain Run from me, don't you see That we are one and I'm a part of you Get away, any way I'm still a secret in the heart of you And I'm the burning in your soul Now I'm weak, I am losing I never thought I'd stop trying I'm a lie, I'm just a sigh, just a crying Just a symbol of the game Suspended pain, I can not face the black flame Intended fear, I can not trace the black flame Extended reaching into space --the black flame Burns my blackened brain |

Pays the price, works the seasons through
Frozen days, he thinks of you Cold as ice but he burns for you Mother Russia, can't you hear him too? Mother's son, freedom's overdue Lonely man, he thinks of you He isn't done, only lives for you Mother Russia, can't you hear him too? Punished for his written thoughts Starving for his fame Working blindly, building blocks Number for a name, his blood flows frozen to the snow Red blood, white snow He knows frozen rivers won't flow So cold, so true Mother Russia--he cries for you Ooh ooh ... Bah dah dah dah ... Punished for his written thoughts Starving for his fame Working blindly, building blocks Number for a name his blood flows frozen to the snow Red blood, white snow He knows frozen rivers won't flow So cold, so true Mother Russia--he cries for you |

Tried to take it all away
Learn her freedom just inside a day And find her soul To find their fears allayed Tried to make her love their own They took her love they left her there They gave her nothing back That she would want to own Gold and silver rings and stones Dances slowly of the moon No-one else can know She stands alone Sleeping dreams will reach for her She cannot say the words they need She knows she's alone And she is free *Ocean gypsy of the moon The sun has made a thousand nights For you to hold Ocean gypsy where are you The shadows followed by the stars Have turned to gold, turned to gold Then she met a hollow soul Filled him with her light And was consoled she was the moon And he, the sun was gold Eyes were blinded with his light The sun she gave Reflected back the night The moon was waning almost out of sight Softly ocean gypsy calls Silence holds the stars awhile They smile sadly For her where she falls Just the time before the dawn The sea is hushed The ocean calls her Day has taken her and now she's gone *Repeat No-one noticed when she died Ocean gypsy shackled to the tide The ebbing waves were turning Spreading wide Something gone within her eyes Her fingers lifeless stroke the sand Her battered soul was lost She was abandoned Silken threads like wings still shine Winds take pleasure still make patterns In her lovely hair So dark and fine Stands on high beneath the seas Cries no more Her tears have dried Oceans weep for her the ocean sighs *Repeat |

They reign supreme as orders go They are the last to have their say And last to know it doesn't matter how you try It doesn't matter what you say They always watch with hollow eyes To put you down they always find a way to criticise *The vultures fly high They circle over us all The vultures fly high I'll take your hand if you fall All those who sheltered in their smile Are scattered here from yesterday And if the weak are left behind They have to pay and though you haven't much to give You know they take it, yours and mine Sometimes it looks as though we lose But then in time the finger points at them The next in line *Repeat The vultures fly high They circle over us all The lonely sigh I'll take your hand if you fall |

And something warm and soft just passed through here
It took the precious things that I hold dearer It rifled through the grey and disappeared The creeping darkness makes the small hours clearer Like a cancer scare In the dentist's chair Sucking in the air Wire across the stair Kicking down the door At your local store With the world at war Voices through the floor Unexpected news Wearing high heeled shoes Blowing out the fuse Paying all your dues Deadwing lullaby Like a fracture tied It's a worthless lie To the public eye I don't take waifs and strays back home with me My bleeding heart does not extend to charity Yes I'd have to say I like my privacy And did you know you're on closed circuit TV? So smile at me And a dream you had Of your mum and dad On a beach somewhere And the poison air With the cancer threat In a cigarette Deadwing lullaby Find a place to hide And from the yellow windows of the last train A spectre from the next life breathes his fog on the pane I look with you into the speeding black rain Afraid to touch someone, afraid to ask her for her name And in the morning when I find I have lost you I throw a window open wide and step through |

I don't remember
Did something in my past, create a hole. Don't use your gender. To drive a stake right through my soul. I live to function, On my own is all I know. No friends to mention, No destruction, nowhere to go Shallow, shallow, Give it to me, give into me Scissors cutting out your anger Shallow, shallow, No good to me, not if you bleed Bite your tongue ignore the splinter This city drains me, Maybe it's the smell of gasoline. The millions pain me, It's easier to talk to my PC. I live to function, On my own is all I know. No friends to mention, No destruction, nowhere to go Shallow, shallow, Give into me, give into me Seasons caught in a triangle, Shallow, shallow, No good to me, not if you bleed, Bite your tongue end on a splinter Shallow, shallow, Give into me, give into me Seasons caught in a triangle Shallow, shallow, No good to me, not if you bleed Bite your tongue end on a splinter |

As the cheerless towns pass my window
I can see a washed out moon through the fog And then a voice inside my head breaks the analogue And says "Follow me down to the valley below You know Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul" I survived against the will of my twisted folk But in the deafness of my world the silence broke And said "Follow me down to the valley below You know Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul" "My David don't you worry This cold world is not for you So rest your head upon me I have strength to carry you" (Ghosts of the twenties rising Golden summers just holding you) "Follow me down to the valley below You know Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul Come to us Lazarus It's time for you to go" |

Never stop the car on a drive in the dark
Never look for the truth in your mother's eyes Never trust the sound of rain upon a river rushing Through your ears Arriving somewhere but not here Could you imagine the final sound as a gun Or the smashing windscreen of a car? Did you ever imagine the last thing you'd hear as you're fading out Was a song? Arriving somewhere but not here [Chorus:] All my designs, simplified And all of my plans, compromised And all of my dreams, sacrificed Ever had the feeling you've been here before? Drinking down the poison the way you were taught Ever thought from here on in your life begins And all you knew was wrong? Arriving somewhere but not here All my designs, simplified And all of my plans, compromised And all of my dreams... Did you see the redness block your part? Did the scissors cut a way to your heart? Did you feel the end before the suns of mothers Tearing you apart? Arriving somewhere but not here |

A tiny flame inside my head
A compromise I never planned Unravel out the finest trends And I'm looking at a blank page now Should have filled it up with words somehow I whispered something in her ear I'd bear my soul but she don't hear The scratching of a mellotron It always seemed to make her cry Well maybe she remembers us collecting space up in the sky The scratching of a mellotron It always seemed to make her cry (Nothing rises from ? fingertips, heart it slips) I lay her gently on my clove She will leave me, yes I know And I'm looking at a blank page now Should have filled it up with words somehow The scratching of a mellotron It always seemed to make her cry Well maybe she remembers us collecting space up in the sky The scratching of a mellotron It always seemed to make her cry (Nothing rises from ? fingertips, heart it slips) Well maybe she remembers us collecting space up in the sky (Nothing rises from ? fingertips, heart it slips) Don't look back into Don't let the memory or the sound drag you down Don't look back into Don't let the memory or the sound drag you down Don't look back into Don't let the memory or the sound drag you down Don't look back into Don't let the memory or the sound drag you down Don't look back into Don't let the memory or the sound drag you down Don't look back into Don't let the memory or the sound drag you down Don't look back into Don't let the memory or the sound drag you down |

Nothing like this
Felt in her kiss Cannot resist her Fell for her charm ? her arms I keep a photograph Give me a glimpse Let me come in Be there inside her Here it begins Here is the sin Something to lie about You think you're smart I think you art We agree on this It doesn't work Feeling like dirt Feeling like you don't care We get a room And in her gloom She lights a cigarette Clothes on the bed "Love me," she said I loose myself to her I'm getting feelings I'm hiding too well Bury the heart-shaped shell Something broke inside my stomach I let the pieces lie just where they fell Being with you is hell Hair blown in an open car Summer dress slips down her arm Hair blown in an open car Okay what's next? After the sex What do we do now? Finding the time Drawing the line And never crossing it Gave her the hours Gave her the power Cannont erase her Gave her the truth Gave her the proof I gave her everything I'm getting feelings I'm hiding too well Bury the heart-shaped shell (I had the feelings [inaudible]) Something broke inside my stomach I let the pieces lie just where they fell (I left the pieces where they fell) Being with you is hell Hair blown in an open car Summer dress slips down her arm Hair blown in an open car On a drive out to the mall Hair blown in an open car Hair blown in an open car Summer dress slips down your arm Hair blown in an open car |

You move in waves You never retrace Your newest craze Straight out of the Face by the bed unread I'm left behind Like all the others Some fall for you It doesn't make much difference if they do She changes every time you look By summer it was all gone - now she's moved on She called you every other day So savour it it's all gone - now she's moved on So for a while Everything seemed new Did we connect ? Or was it all just biding time for you ? |

Sunlight coming through the haze No gaps in the blind To let it inside The bed is unmade Some music still plays TV, yeah it's always on The flicker of the screen A movie actress screams I'm basking in the shit flowing out of it I'm stoned in the mall again Terminally bored Shuffling round the stores And shoplifting is getting so last year's thing X-box is a god to me A finger on the switch My mother is a bitch My father gave up ever trying to talk to me Don't try engaging me The vaguest of shrugs The prescription drugs You'll never find A person inside My face is mogadon Curiosity Has given up on me I'm tuning out desires The pills are on the rise How can I be sure I'm here? The pills that I've been taking confuse me I need to know that someone sees that There's nothing left I simply am not here I'm through with pornography The acting is lame The action is tame Explicitly dull arousal annulled Your mouth should be boarded up Talking all day With nothing to say Your shallow proclamations All misinformation My friend says he wants to die He's in a band They sound like Pearl Jam The clothes are all black The music is crap In school I don't concentrate And sex is kinda fun But just another one Of all the empty ways Of using up a day How can I be sure I'm here? The pills that I've been taking confuse me I need to know that someone sees that There's nothing left I simply am not here Bipolar disorder Can't deal with the boredom You don't try to be liked You don't mind You feel no sun You steal a gun To kill time You're somewhere, you're nowhere You don't care You catch the breeze You still the leaves So now where? |

All the things that I needed
I wasted my chances I have found myself wanting When a mother and father Gave me their problems I accepted them all Nothing ever expected I was rejected But I came back for more And my ashes drift beneath the silver sky Where a boy rides on a bike and never smiles And my ashes fall over all the things we've said On a box of photographs under the bed I will stay in my own world Under the covers I will feel safe inside The kiss that will burn me Cure me of dreaming I was always returning And my ashes find a way beyond the fog And return to save the child that I forgot And my ashes fade among the things unseen And a dream plays in reverse on piano keys And my ashes drop upon a park in Wales Never-ending clouds of rain, and distant sails... distant sails |

A good impression
Of myself Not much to conceal I'm saying nothing But I'm saying Nothing with feel I simply am not here No way I... Shut up, be happy Stop whining, please And because of who we are We react in mock surprise The curse of "There must be more" So don't breathe here Don't leave your bags I simply am not here No way I... Shut up, be happy Stop whining, please The dust in my soul makes me feel the weight in my legs My head in the clouds, and I'm zoning out I'm watching TV, but I find it hard to stay conscious I'm totally bored, but I can't switch off Only apathy from the pills in me It's all in me, all in you Electricity from the pills in me It's all in me, all in you Only MTV and cod philosophy We're lost in the mall, shuffling through the stores like zombies Well, what is the point? What can money buy? My hands on a gun, and I find the range, God, tempt me Well, what did you say? Think I'm passing out Only apathy from the pills in me It's all in me, all in you Electricity from the pills in me It's all in me, all in you Only MTV and cod philosophy Water so warm that day I counted out the waves As they broke into shore I smiled into the Sun The water so warm that day I was counting out the waves And I followed their short life As they broke on the shoreline I could see you But I couldn't hear you You were holding your hat in the breeze Turning away from me In this moment, you were stolen There's black across the Sun Water so warm that day I counted out the waves As they broke into shore I smiled into the Sun |

Out at the train tracks
I dream of escape But a song comes onto my iPod And I realize it's getting late And I can't take the staring And the sympathy And I don't like the questions "How do you feel?" "How's it going in school?" and "Do you wanna talk about it?" Way out Way out of here Fade out Fade out, vanish And I'm trying to forget you And I know that I will In a thousand years, or maybe a week Burn all your pictures, and cut out your face The shutters are down and the curtains are closed And I've covered my tracks Disposed of the car Trying to forget even your name and the way that you look When you're sleeping Dreaming of this Way out Way out of here Fade out Fade out, vanish |

Books and words from philsophers come Analysed and he cut down a winter tree To find the sun Fell asleep, had a dream by the winter tree Heard the snow fall and melt into spring Saw the ice lose its hold On the pale frost grass To which it clings [Chorus:] Have you ever seen a better day Though we follow many different ways Though your mind may hold the winter time Spring is never very far behind In the summer under open skies We'll see the sunshine, shine on Take it easy live today today We'll see the sunshine, shine on When I woke there I was by the winter tree Nothing changed but a thought in the air Seasons turn, take their days And in time, I'll take mine I'll go back there [Chorus] Shine on Take it easy live today today We'll see the sunshine, shine on |

A different smile upon her face
He's proud to be a part of it all A welcome from the human race A world so big and one that's so small You see they've come so very far But can't believe that's The way it was planned Just can't understand That only angels have wings With all the love they could give Is this a fit place to live Where only angels have wings Through school days growing very fast Today a boy, tomorrow a man His roots set deeply in the past It's hard but keep your head if you can You see he's come so very far But can't believe that's The way it was planned Just can't understand That only angels have wings Ambition so low with nowhere to go As only angels have wings Then suddenly an element of chance Night falls on his town The colours blend and dance He's breaking in, no time to go back There must be some way out Making life easy - hear him shout it out His father can't believe his ears His mother stands with tears in her eyes No child of theirs could be so wrong Deep down inside a part of them dies You see they tried so very hard But just can't see that's The way it was planned Just can't understand That only angels have wings A part of our age, an action in rage And only angels have wings So far away, a time for second thought Things seem much clearer now The price for being caught He longs for home and wants to go back To how it was before An ordinary person, happy to be born |

The stream ran warm inside the sun Along the bank we walked So clear that day Worn by time, dust and weeds Light and dark fell through the leaves Where we sometimes laughed So full of light and morning mist We walked beneath the trees So clear that day Stark in winter, shadows black Still in my mind, no turning back (We sometimes laughed the day we threw the stone) Chorus: Forever changing Light and dark horizons Always turning, moving on Forever changing Near and far horizons And changes take the day Forever gone Where we sometimes were Our words still swirl all around Whispers come and go So clear that day Some tomorrow other words Blend with ours, their voices heard And sometimes we heard our words that swirl and dance around Chorus |

To find each other looking in a different way Laughter rang and people sang But up above as night time fell You ran away So what do I do now Secret mission seemed so strange somehow It happened once it happened twice I understood and took your love in anyway Leaving in a new direction Casual glances, take in every word you say So special can't be told Secret missions have you in their hold Chorus: Leaving for Rio, ships that pass in the night Spent a long day together once Your career at its height It's so hard to miss you When I don't even know your name Never the same Changes every day I've heard them say that you're the best You're never caught and can't be found And that's the test I understand just what they mean I've turned around to see you vanish Like a dream Stood on a tightrope for so long Secret meetings must go wrong Chorus |

But yet so proud So safe the second city Houses reach the skyline and Far below the narrow streets that sing With the movement of the crowd No break from daily changes As life goes on Secure as French men can be Fill your time with love and wine And in your heart you'll know as long as you There will always be a song Then on a winter's day With your face against the cold and rain In the wind there's changes The rivers rise The water grips the town - tears fill her eyes Chorus: I'm standing here which way to go The crossroads call, but they don't know Midnight, caught inside I'm standing here, could all be lost The crossroads call You've stood so long It weaves the strangest picture Of silky thread The shadows cast reflection Lyons as the water's bed Trees that stand look straight ahead And search for a sight of distant land This was a winter's day In your heart you felt the cold and rain Change the wind to silence There's not a sound Silver patterns run and dance Upon the ground Chorus |

A paper window on a world They live on undisturbed Thoughts may fly like the lonely birds And lost behind the silent words Voices are unheard Put it down to city life Oh if I understood Passing by so easily I'd reach you if I could Can you hear me Can you hear me Fly like a song, fly while you're singing A song without you, is a bird without winging Some city flights leave in the morning Some city nights end without warning Can you hear me call Evening people see the day A silhouette on every face A shadow on their eyes I take my place within the crowd We walk the dusty streets around Encompassing our lives Put it down to city times Oh if I understood Passing by so casually I'd reach you if I could Can you hear me Can you hear me Fly like a song, fly while you're singing A song without you, is a bird without winging Some city flights leave in the morning Some city nights end without warning Can you hear me call Can you hear me call Can you hear me call [Instrumental] Calling to the sky The thunder drowns my voice within the rain And I know you're near me And I call throughout the storm I know that you don't hear me I call your name I call your name I call your name Can you hear me call your name Can you hear me call Hear me call your name I call your name I call your name Can you hear me call your name [Instrumental] Night time people find it hard To hear themselves above the noise The music holds its own I recognised a place I'd known I turned to find it carved in |

The sisters worked for the people round them
Their Spanish lace wove some bread for the poor And they cared and tried but were worn with Their fears and the years of heartbreak Dust and wine stained the men who knew them The sweat of days in the angry sun And the men were weak, and they cried And they asked, "Sisters, make us holy." The sisters prayed, "Give us hope for something." The men asked, "Where is your God today?" And the empty eyes as the sisters prayed held Their thoughts unspoken There was nothing they could do Earth was dust for miles around Nothing new survived Everything was barren on the land And the truth they tried to understand just died Everything was barren on the land And the truth they tried to understand just died |

They left and I went away There's no romance in the memory That's part of yesterday But feelings linger stronger sometimes So hard to disappear When what holds you is a treasure You've stored throughout the years Finding out the hard way The captive heart has lost and won a thousand lovers That place each moment close to living in each other Reaching out for treasures Scattered in their dreams Trying takes a life of loving so it seems So carry on don't stop your feelings Try and make them flow Somewhere there's a vision waiting You'll find it when you know Taking the final curtain That's coming down on you Leaving the play of fools Move onto life you knew Fiding out the hard way No easy path to conquer Trying to compromise Climbing through my anguish I see your fading eyes The captive heart has lost and won a thousand lovers That place each moment close to living in each other Reaching out for treasures Scattered in their dreams Loving takes a life of trying so it seems |

Leaving all their thoughts behind
Passing over timeless wastes of ecstasy Freedom strangled at the source Takes the only charted course That leads them home Their bodies move towards the dawn The light in which a nation born Can only hope, and only weep Their passion may be growing weak How was alone, recall me if you can I feel I am lost within you Many times within the sound of emptiness A light has shown deep in each others soul Keeps them apart, a love now makes them whole Fractured memories tearing at all their dreams Made life and living a faded scene To give a name locked in despair Makes chances of a lifetime course across your eyes To give and get, and yet return Emotion smoulders, starts to burn in harmony They lay within a ruined shell Searching for the time to tell That he who followed endlessly Does not exist, can never be How was alone, recall me if you can I feel I have lost within you A part of what is held inside a deep regret Taking over all that a hearts request Answered by cries from a wilderness Found forgotten lying in deeper sleep Touching once is so hard to keep In emptiness, a light has shown deep in each others soul Keeps them apart, a love now makes them whole Fractured memories tearing at all their dreams Made life and living a faded scene Taking over all that a hearts request Answered by cries from a wilderness Found forgotten lying in deeper sleep Touching once is so hard to keep |

If you want the reasons
For the changing of the seasons And you want to know why Blue is the colour of the sky Then you've missed the point completely And a little child smiles sweetly Cause he hasn't had the time To learn to ask the question why If I could show you the sky... If I could show you why... If I could show you... If I could show you... The years pass by unnoticed And I have no need to protest And I know you feel the same way Even though you never have to speak The pain of joy is equal To the joy of pain the sequel Is as sure as the minutes The hours and the days of every week But sometimes when the clouds obscure the sun I wonder why my day Is as narrow as the road That winds upon its way |

I never heard my conclusion Lost the way in my confusion, in illusion Lost inside the picture frame I'm not to blame, I didn't see the black flame I'm not ashamed, its poetry, the black flame I'm rearranged, it's changing me, the black flame Burns my blackened brain I am strong, I am leaving I never knew I'd feel the need so Where to go, I'll turn the flow, I could not know Screams inside the burning pain It's spinning head, it's under hand--the black flame It lies instead, I turned and I ran--the black flame On me, it fed,I understand--the black flame Burns my blackened brain Run from me, don't you see That we are one and I'm a part of you Get away, any way I'm still a secret in the heart of you And I'm the burning in your soul Now I'm weak, I am losing I never thought I'd stop trying I'm a lie, I'm just a sigh, just a crying Just a symbol of the game Suspended pain, I can not face the black flame Intended fear, I can not trace the black flame Extended reaching into space--the black flame Burns my blackened brain |

Opening my eyes I feel that you are close to me And yet your heart is time away But I can't hold a dream That sleeps within my yesterdays And so coming very close now I see my destiny Is to make you part of me And to hope that you might be Pure and free [Chorus:] Leave memories on the wind To spend moments in endless flight Held over by all you mean I feel you nearer the darkest night Closer now, than yesterday Hoping for a chance To find you loving me In the distance searching there I'll be In time you may come to me To fall into the world That once we left so far behind To learn with each passing moment As tomorrow comes for me In the shadow of my life For eternity to find The light I see [Chorus] |

Destination outward bound
I turn to see the northern lights behind the wing Horizons seem to beckon me Learned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing The northern lights are in my mind They guide me back to you Horizons seem to beckon me Learned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing You know it's hard away from you Travelling roads and passing through It's not for money and it's not for fame I just can't explain, sometimes it's lonely Marking the space between the days Early hours pass away I sing to you of northern lights I sing for you of northern nights Past or future, here or there Shelter comes in words from you, so talk to me I hear your voice, it comforts me In morning dreams I take your hand, you walk with me The northern lights are in my mind They guide me back to you Peace enfolds the still night air Home again I look for you and find you there Desintation homeward now Take the easy way, bring me down Making the hard way now I see Hard to be really free, I'm missing you near me Marking the space between the days Early hours pass away I sing to you of northern lights I sing for you of northern nights The northern lights are in my mind They guide me back to you The northern nights are in my eyes They guide me back to you The northern lights are in my mind They guide me back to you The northern nights are in my eyes They guide me back to you The northern lights are in my mind They guide me back to you The northern nights are in my eyes They guide me back to you |

From the start through all time
Here upon the wind Disorder reigned hand in hand with Spring Earth and the fire Air and the water Moulded the sea and landscape Moving, flowing with no seeming purpose Endlessly changing Survival Spring into Summer Time for reflection Time to grow World full of meaing Place rearranging Face ever changing For all our lives These are our roots and it's our way We grow, we reap and sow We reap and sow the seasons of our day Within the heart of all things born that day The Autumn scene brings the Winters way Colours are shading Misting and fading Turning toward Changes, living Each time the past and the future Holding together Tomorrow Winter to Springtime, a season for planning Time to learn World full of stillness World ever waiting Anticipating For all of our lives These are our roots, and it's our way We grow, we reap, and sow We reap and sow the seasons of our day We fall, while aiming so high We crawl, flying Man has North, South, East and West Man has, trying A song for all seasons through Man has North, South, East and West Man has music Man has North, South, East and West Man makes music A song for all seasons through Song for all seasons A song for all our time We'll have a song for all the seasons through |

Falling around me lay, parts of my life I'm leaving them all behind We leave with the night Living in strange ways Has cast me aside I cry in another world now I must search for all my days gone by [Chorus:] Dreamer lead me ever closer Here is where I belong Inside my own existance I have been for so long Voices that call to me, lay silent to hide Soon I will hold them close With words from my eyes Living in hope of you Loving you now You are my waking thoughts I lay with you in my sleeping hours [Chorus] I stand and gaze upon your smile A deep reflection Held in my soul as a child To grow within the warmth of love Long forgotten Tears flood your eyes in a moment Dreamer, I become as one within you To lose you far away I stay inside your heaven now No longer lonely Once more I'm safe in your arms To feel your touch Across my mind Fills me only full of desire for my being Dreamer, really all that needs a meaning To feel us sail away [Chorus] |

Leaving all their thoughts behind
Passing over timeless wastes of ecstasy Freedom strangled at the source Takes the only charted course That leads them home Their bodies move towards the dawn The light in which a nation born Can only hope, and only weep Their passion may be growing weak How was alone, recall me if you can I feel I am lost within you Many times within the sound of emptiness A light has shown deep in each others soul Keeps them apart, a love now makes them whole Fractured memories tearing at all their dreams Made life and living a faded scene To give a name locked in despair Makes chances of a lifetime course across your eyes To give and get, and yet return Emotion smoulders, starts to burn in harmony They lay within a ruined shell Searching for the time to tell That he who followed endlessly Does not exist, can never be How was alone, recall me if you can I feel I have lost within you A part of what is held inside a deep regret Taking over all that a hearts request Answered by cries from a wilderness Found forgotten lying in deeper sleep Touching once is so hard to keep In emptiness, a light has shown deep in each others soul Keeps them apart, a love now makes them whole Fractured memories tearing at all their dreams Made life and living a faded scene Taking over all that a hearts request Answered by cries from a wilderness Found forgotten lying in deeper sleep Touching once is so hard to keep |

Morning people take the news
A paper window on a world They live on undisturbed Thoughts may fly like the lonely birds And lost behind the silent words Voices are unheard Put it down to city life Oh if I understood Passing by so easily I'd reach you if I could Can you hear me Can you hear me Fly like a song, fly while you're singing A song without you, is a bird without winging Some city flights leave in the morning Some city nights end without warning Can you hear me call Evening people see the day A silhouette on every face A shadow on their eyes I take my place within the crowd We walk the dusty streets around Encompassing our lives Put it down to city times Oh if I understood Passing by so casually I'd reach you if I could Can you hear me Can you hear me Fly like a song, fly while you're singing A song without you, is a bird without winging Some city flights leave in the morning Some city nights end without warning Can you hear me call Can you hear me call Can you hear me call [Instrumental] Calling to the sky The thunder drowns my voice within the rain And I know you're near me And I call throughout the storm I know that you don't hear me I call your name I call your name I call your name Can you hear me call your name Can you hear me call Hear me call your name I call your name I call your name Can you hear me call your name [Instrumental] Night time people find it hard To hear themselves above the noise The music holds its own I recognised a place I'd known I turned to find it carved in |

Tried to take it all away
Learn her freedom just inside a day And find her soul To find their fears allayed Tried to make her love their own They took her love they left her there They gave her nothing back That she would want to own Gold and silver rings and stones Dances slowly of the moon No-one else can know She stands alone sleeping dreams will reach for her She cannot say the words they need She knows she's alone And she is free Ocean gypsy of the moon The sun has made a thousand nights For you to hold Ocean gypsy where are you The shadows followed by the stars Have turned to gold turned to gold Then she met a hollow soul Filled him with her light And was consoled she was the moon And he, the sun was gold Eyes were blinded with his light The sun she gave Reflected back the night The moon was waning almost out of sight Softly ocean gypsy calls Silence holds the stars awhile They smile sadly For her where she falls Just the time before the dawn The sea is hushed The ocean calls her Day has taken her and now she's gone Ocean gypsy of the moon The sun has made a thousand nights For you to hold Ocean gypsy where are you The shadows followed by the stars Have turned to gold turned to goldNo-one noticed when she died Ocean gypsy shackled to the tide The ebbing waves were turning Spreading wide Something gone within her eyes Her fingers lifeless stroke the sand Her battered soul was lost She was abandoned Silken threads like wings still shine Winds take pleasure still make patterns In her lovely hair So dark and fine Stands on high beneath the seas Cries no more Her tears have dried Oceans weep for her the ocean sighs Ocean gypsy of the moon The sun has made a thousand nights For you to hold Ocean gypsy where are you The shadows followed by the stars Have turned to gold turned to gold |

Come along with me Down into the world of seeing Come and you'll be free Take the time to find the feeling See everything on it's own And you'll find you know the way And you'll know the things you're shown Owe everything to the day [Chorus:] See the carpet of the sun The green grass soft and sweet Sands upon the shores of time Of oceans mountains deep Part of the world that you live in You are the part that you're giving Come into the day Feel the sunshine warmth around you Sounds from far away Music of the love that found you The seed that you plant today Tomorrow will be a tree And living goes on this way It's all part of you and me [Chorus 2x] See the carpet of the sun See the carpet of the sun See the carpet of the sun See the carpet of the sun |

Pays the price, works the seasons through Frozen days, he thinks of you Cold as ice but he burns for you Mother Russia, can't you hear him too? Mother's son, freedom's overdue Lonely man, he thinks of you He isn't done, only lives for you Mother Russia, can't you hear him too? Punished for his written thoughts Starving for his fame Working blindly, building blocks Number for a name, his blood flows frozen to the snow Red blood, white snow He knows frozen rivers won't flow So cold, so true Mother Russia-he cries for you Ooh ooh ... Bah dah dah dah ... Punished for his written thoughts Starving for his fame Working blindly, building blocks Number for a name his blood flows frozen to the snow Red blood, white snow He knows frozen rivers won't flow So cold, so true Mother Russia-he cries for you |

Travel the days of freedom
Roads leading everywhere Come with me now and show how you care Follow the dying embers Cross on the paths that they lay Breath of the past the earths yesterday Clear your mind maybe you will find That the past is still turning Circles sway echo yesterday Ashes burning ashes burning Colours are fading starlight Silver the way to find Walking the shadows, there in our mind Changing the order slowly Leaving the mist of time Fingers are holding fragments of mine Clear your mind maybe you will find That the past is still turning Circles sway echo yesterday Ashes burning ashes burning Imagine the burning embers They glow below and above Your sins you won't remember And all you'll find there is love Ashes are burning brightly The smoke can be seen from afar So now you're seeing how far Ashes are burning the way Ashes are burning the way |
