All around we're caught in the light of a thousand suns Riding the wind of eternal years Watching the Earth die before our eyes Hearing the world crying in our ears We kill the trees, now there isn't any rainfall And there's burning sand where the cornfields were before We poison seas, pouring oil on troubled waters And the air we breathe doesn't taste good any more We kill the land 'till there isn't any food to eat And we fire our guns and we're fighting all our wars See the children die like a movie on the silver screen Now the air we breathe doesn't taste good any more Too bad, look at your life We are sinking in the water Turn back, look at the time Cast adrift on the open sea Once more into the night Nothing left for your sons and your daughters We're on our ship called Earth for all eternity Too bad, look at your life We are sinking in the water Turn back, look at the time Cast adrift on the open sea Once more into the night Nothing left for your sons and your daughters We're on our ship called Earth for all eternity All around we're travelling the universe Do we believe there's someone watching over us Can we be sure? Who do we think we are? (We are the chosen people We are the chosen ones) All around we're travelling the universe Do we believe there's someone watching over us Can we be sure? Who do we think we are? |

On the road to nowhere, heading for Mallaig I can feel the wild west highland breeze Drive all my fears away Through the raging Sound of Sleat Safe on Spanish John I can't wait for heaven's gate It's paradise I'm looking on Sky, nothing but blue sky all around Sky, nothing but blue sky Feel the silence calling all around All around Eagle high on Ladhar Bheinn Heaven and hell beneath Kinloch Hourn's where hell is born And Nevis where the angels meet Knoydart mends a broken heart Heals a tortured soul Brings new life to tired minds And brightens eyes that look upon Sky, nothing but blue sky all around Sky, nothing but blue sky Feel the silence calling all around All around Inverie, oh Inverie, ancient hearts of old Ugly bastards one and all We'll gather just to look upon Sky, nothing but blue sky all around Sky, nothing but blue sky Feel the silence calling all around All around Sky, nothing but blue sky all around Sky, nothing but blue sky Feel the silence calling Hear the silence calling Feel the silence calling All around All around |

I've been so sad since you went away I've been so lost without you I wanted to be there I wanted to hold on and tell you How much, how much I loved you I never thought that this day would come Never dreamed we'd have to part And now that you're gone and there's only memories It's left such a hole, hole in my heart Whenever skies are cloudy and the raindrops fall I pray that you'll be waiting to catch me when I fall So many words that were left unsaid So many things still to share Amd through all the tears and all of the memories I hope that you know how much I cared If I could have you back I wouldn't waste a minute A lifetime wasn't long enough, I needed you for ever The love of a father, the friendship of a brother You took a piece of me with you and it will never be returned Until we meet again and things will be the same Whenever skies are cloudy and the raindrops fall I pray that you'll be waiting to catch me when I fall I've been so sad since you went away I've been so lost without you I wanted to be there I wanted to hold on and tell you How much, how much I loved you I never thought that this day would come Never dreamed we'd have to part And now that you're gone and there's only memories It's left such a hole, hole in my heart If I could have you back again I wouldn't waste a minute A lifetime wasn't long enough, I needed you for ever John Lees, BJH LtdHandle Music Ltd |

Born in a cold war Opened up my eyes See the bombers riding Dark against the sky Fly like an eagle Carried on the wind See our hearts are broken So many lives are gone Waiting for this dream to end We're not alone We'll live on forever They echo the songs Of the partisans Don't be afraid We're heading for glory The fears of the past Bring tears of today Nothing's going to change Cold is the winter Chills you to the bone Praying for the silence Will the morning come? Out on the border Lost without a friend Searching for a reason The battle rages on Waiting for this dream to end We're not alone We'll live on forever They echo the songs Of the partisans Don't be afraid We're heading for glory The fears of the past Bring tears of today Nothing's going to change |

Talk about a loser, I was just about to go When someone grabbed me by the arm, a man I did not know He said he'd been a drover, a member of the clan With runrig in his very soul and nowhere left to stand Now me I'm just a highland boy and cottar was my trade He'd seen me at Kildoanan when the black-face came to stay He'd oatcakes and he'd whisky and one foot in the grave For us it's over Bitter tears began to fall as whisky tore away the years From the straths and the braes Forever yesterday The royal George it was that brought the Countess to our door She wanted us to leave the hills for crofts upon the moor She took our piece of paradise and left us on the shore For us it's over Bitter tears began to fall as whisky tore away the years From the straths and the braes Forever yesterday They cleared the clans from Strathnavar, the heart of Sutherland They cleared us from our highland homes by ship to foreign glens There's Linton and there's Cheviot and red deer on the bens For us it's over, over, over, my friend |

All lovers in the night Look up and see the dawn Reach out into the light Before you travel on All you have to do is smile for me Lonely days will disappear All lovers of the world We thought we had it all Reach out and touch someone Across the great unknown All you have to do is smile for me Lonely nights will disappear Promises are soon forgotten Watch them falling one by one Nothing stays the same forever See the years go on and on they fly We'll wait for the day Changing our ways All over the world Reach out for someone All over the world All you have to do is smile for me Lonely nights will disappear All of my life Lovers of the world... |

Did we take away the daylight from our life? Dreams are over, faded with the night We've been here so long, didn't we see the way Love grown cold as ice melted with the rain After all these years Can't believe it's true Is it really over After all that we've been through? I need you here To take away the pain I just want to be with you again Did you see the way We broke the things we made Gone forever, never be the same Torn away on "silver wings" Love like lightning ended in the rain After all this time You're still the only one Can't be over, all we've said and done I need you back To take away the pain I just want to be with you again I need you back To take away the pain I just want to be with you again |

With these arms I'll hold you Let my love enfold you Please don't cry Night and day forever Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds then sun will shine Born in the spirit of love You took flight Soaring so high and so free No-one can stop you You'll always be heard Our hearts know the truth In pools of blue I found you Let my love surround you Gave you life From that day forever Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds then sun will shine Born in the spirit of love You took flight Soaring so high and so free No-one can stop you You'll always be heard Our hearts know the truth Born in the spirit of love You took flight Soaring so high and so free No-one can stop you You'll always be heard They'll never kill the mockingbird She'll fly free |

It's a matter of time before we know If you follow the signs, let your feelings show Oh babe, you've got nothing to lose We can talk for a while and that's all right I can see in your eyes what you feel inside You don't know what you've been doing Leave me standing here We are on the edge of reality We've gone too far Not the way that it's meant to be It's a matter of time It's just a matter of time It's a matter of time before we say We got out of line looking for the way Oh babe, you've got something to hide You can stay for a while and that's all right I see in your smile what you feel tonight You don't know what you've been doing Leave us standing here We are on the edge of reality We've gone too far Not the way that it's meant to be It's a matter of time It's just a matter of time Are you really looking for someone Who'll turn you on And always be around you? Take another look and you will see That I will be waiting It's a matter of time It's a matter of time Oh babe, it's just a matter of time |

On a cold starry night in the winter time Stood three old men by a mill pond in the moonlight And they spoke of their young men in the front line How they all wished them home for the Christmas time As they spoke from the east came a bright light And it sparkled like pure gold in their sad eyes And an angel came down on Denshaw Mill Spreading her light all around on the Darkside Are you blind can you not see Do you think that it's me who deceives? He promised to be there if you believe, to carry you home A hole as rotten as ever fouled the green earth Was this old mill in its day, spoke the angel Yet there's many a poor boy in foreign climes Who would think this old mill now a palace fine As she spoke from the mill there came laughter Came the warm sounds of their young men like a summer breeze And they rose in the night like fire bright Spreading their light all around on the Darkside Are you blind can you not see Do you think that it's me who deceives? He promised to be there if you believe, to carry you home No-one knows what became of the bonny lads Posted missing, lost in action in a far land Fools and heroes, gallant men, now side by side With the old men who believed they came home that night To the warmth of their homes at Christmas time To the peace of their homes at Christmas time |
