I once loved a lady who did change into a child
I saw the light of day shine in her eyes I loved her like a baby and I raised her to the sky It seems the light of day did pass me by Now she walks along the seashore And she listens to the sea But I can't say if she ever thinks of me If I were of the ocean Or a wave upon the sand Or just a drop of water in her hand A pebble or a broken shell A rock upon the shore I doubt if I could love her any more Now she walks along the seashore And she listens to the sea And I can't say if she ever thinks of me No I can't say if she ever thinks of me |

The summer sun, the winter rain
Won't ever change now I'm over you The morning light, the evening night Won't ever change now I'm over you I'm over you, now I'm over you Now I'm over you Clouds in the sky, birds flying by Won't ever change now I'm over you A young child's cry, a lover's sigh Won't ever change now I'm over you I'm over you, over you, now I'm over you Without your love The morning light hurts my eyes Without your love The evening skies make me cry Without your love I'd be no place at all I'd be lost without you Clouds in the sky, birds flying by Won't ever change now I'm over you A young child's cry, a lover's sigh Won't ever change now I'm over you I'm over you, over you, now I'm over you I'm over you, over you, I'm over you I'm over you, over you, now I'm over you Now I'm over you, over you, I'm over you I'm over you, over you, I'm over you |

Child of God was born today
The child of woman just slipped away The child of man knelt down to pray And the children of the earth Didn't know it was the day of Creation, creation, creation One thousand years or maybe more Since they first set eyes on that foreign shore The grass was green and the water pure They turned the key and opened the door To a nation, nation, nation Child of God says love your brother Take him by the hand Child of God says love your neighbour Make him understand Child of God says love your sister Take her by the hand Child of God says love your neighbour Make him understand Make him understand All believers gather round Press your faces to the ground Lift your voices to the sound Of all the others who have found Salvation, salvation, salvation Salvation, salvation, salvation Child of God says love your brother Take him by the hand Child of God says love your neighbour Make him understand Child of God says love your sister Take her by the hand Child of God says love your neighbour Make him understand Make him understand Salvation, salvation, salvation Salvation, salvation, salvation Salvation, salvation, salvation Salvation, salvation, salvation |

In the shining sun
My images they run Confusing all I've done before I've begun And every city scene Becomes a roaring stream A nightmare and a dream rolled into one But when the city sleeps I'm up and on my feet Along the darkened streets Hear me run Through the empty town Running, laughing, down No-one else around ? to bother old me By factories I sway My shadows seem to play To do this in the day ? I'd never be free But when the city sleeps I'm up and on my feet Along the darkened streets Hear me run |

I feel sorry for the soldier who is shot and stoned in anger
I feel sorry for his wife and child at home I feel sorry for the bomber who all life and limb dishonours For the people that he's maimed and left alone The Lord God said love thy neighbour Though in human life he trades, he's still a man I feel sorry for the children who with open mind are willing To fight for ideals aged and past their time I feel sorry for the children who will join the vicious circle Of instinct fear bred from their parents' minds The Lord God said love thy neighbour Break the circle, free the hater, call him a friend Wake up, wake up, there's a man by your side With a knife and a gun in each hand Wake up, wake up, you're one and the same It's time to stop and decide Is it love or hate? Is it peace or war? It's for sure there's no inbetween Politicians point views But they're pointing for you The solution has to be seen I thought I saw a summer soldier, helmet on his brow His silver rifle clutched beneath his armour-plated shroud I fire in hate, he cried aloud To protect myself from defeat My shield's my cause, my cause is war And from war I'll make no retreat I dreamt I saw an angel bright, a halo on his brow His golden sword lay in its sheath beneath his silver shroud I drwa thee not, he cried aloud Though your deeds like spears strike my soul My shield's my love, my cause is peace Faith be sure I shall not retreat |

I cannot see you
For the sun is in my eyes I cannot hear you Everything you say just passes by What I'd give for just a smile Instead of drifting at A hundred thousand miles Can you hear me there below? All my lines have gone dead And I'm not very sure Can you hear me there below? 'Cause I'm coming down fast I can't make it alone Oh no no no... I cannot see you For the sun is in my eyes I cannot hear you Everything you say just passes by Here I stay until I'm found Insane in space and my world Is spinning round Can you hear me there below? All my lines have gone dead And I'm not very sure Can you hear me there below? 'Cause I'm coming down fast I can't make it alone |

The moon is making patterns on the water
Why it is I just can't say I'm not old enough or wise enough to wonder I don't think about the magic that I'm under Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes You'll find me in the twilight on the mountain When the sun shines on the lake I'm a child of darkness lost among the thunder Where the shafts of moonlight break the sky asunder Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes |

I think I'm going back from where I came
There's something that I feel but can't explain People running round and round Putting one another down The joker laughs the joker cries He sees the world through weary eyes People running round and round Putting one another down Too many people, they don't know where they're going There are no haloes showing "Peace and love", just greed and hate It's not too late to see we're all the same The joker sees a better way But people laugh and turn away |

Oh Mother dear
What a night this has been I awoke in the light of a vision in white The prettiest girl that I have ever seen Lately my love, said the lady in white I have watched from afar, but love draws me near Now take my hand, hold tight, Mother dear Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? Was it just another dream..... in the night? Mother dear, on that same silver night Saw a figure in black by the lady in white He said his name was death, was he right? Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? Was it just another dream..... in the night? Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? Was it just another dream..... in the night? Mother dear, what a night this has been It's so cold by your side, no don't cry, can't you see? Won't you listen to me please, Mother dear Was it just another dream, Mother dear? |

In corridors of air the clouds were waiting there
They knew that never again the skies would be so blue They took away the sun and with it took the fun It's true, and now there is really nothing I can do So I look outside my window at the sheets of pouring rain And I wonder if the sun will come again But the sun will never shine the way it used to do The clouds won't let it through Oh the sun will never shine its smile for me and you The clouds won't let it through It wasn't long ago the people that I knew were glad And nothing they ever thought about was sad But since the sun has gone their laughing times are none That's bad, to make them forget the happy times they've had So they look outside their window at the sheets of pouring rain And they wonder if the sun will come again But the sun will never shine the way it used to do The clouds won't let it through Oh the sun will never shine its smile for me and you The clouds won't let it through (Barclay James Harvest, ?Ardmore & Beechwood/EMI) |

When the world was woken
Save all unknowing eyes And thoughts that once were spoken Left only to despise And when the dawn is breaking Look upward to the sky If life is so hard to live Why not die? When the world has woken And shadows leave the air Then each spell will be broken For everyone who cares The day will then be endless The night will soon pass by If life is so hard to live Why not die? When the world has woken For all who see the sun And gentle words are spoken The dawning has begun Then man can live together With one triumphant cry If life is so hard to live Why not die? |

She walks on through the night
Her circumstances slight Are only helping her to fail And though she feels she's right She tries with all her might And makes the deepest peril pale Oh, but she is unreal Oh, but she doesn't feel Oh, but she is unreal She chooses who to love And then unlike a dove She takes the laughter from their smile She wears a velvet glove Her friends may find it rough It is a gauntlet all the while Oh, but she is unreal Oh, but she doesn't feel Oh, but she is unreal |

How could I know?

As I gaze on the dim glow of the evening sky Where every breath that I take becomes a vapour cloud That wraps itself around me to hide me from the crowd Then like a wall descending Night will the day be ending And it's if as though by magic Everything's become so tragic Become so tragic I turn and look behind me and all the crowd have gone And though they're all around me I feel I am alone The sounds of day have vanished and I find in their place There is an awesome silence, of life there is no trace Then like a wall descending Night will the day be ending And it's if as though by magic Everything's become so tragic Become so tragic The world outside my window slowly passes by As I gaze on the dim glow of the evening sky Where every breath that I take becomes a vapour cloud That wraps itself around me to hide me from the crowd Then like a wall descending Night will the day be ending And it's if as though by magic Everything's become so tragic Become so tragic |

When the world was woken
Save all unknowing eyes And thoughts that once were spoken Left only to despise And when the dawn is breaking Look upward to the sky If life is so hard to live Why not die? When the world has woken And shadows leave the air Then each spell will be broken For everyone who cares The day will then be endless The night will soon pass by If life is so hard to live Why not die? When the world has woken For all who see the sun And gentle words are spoken The dawning has begun Then man can live together With one triumphant cry If life is so hard to live Why not die? |

She walks on through the night
Her circumstances slight Are only helping her to fail And though she feels she's right She tries with all her might And makes the deepest peril pale Oh, but she is unreal Oh, but she doesn't feel Oh, but she is unreal She chooses who to love And then unlike a dove She takes the laughter from their smile She wears a velvet glove Her friends may find it rough It is a gauntlet all the while Oh, but she is unreal Oh, but she doesn't feel Oh, but she is unreal |

Don't ask me how I know
But this dark sky will soon be blue Don't ask, no don't ask Just watch as the grey mists of winter fall Like so many drops of dew Feel the ice melt to warm tears in my eyes Uner the light of a tin sun Do not ask me how I know The effect of light on unseeing eyes How should I know? How could I know? Dark now my sky The sea of peace has left my shore No birds sing The silent spring will overflow Oh you'll never know I love you so You'll always be A part of me Dark now my eyes The sea of peace has met the sky No birds sing And like the Spring life whispers by Oh you'll never know I love you so You'll always be A part of me Dark now my sky The winds of time have swept my shore No birds fly The trees that fall will rise no more Oh you'll never know I love you so You'll always be A part of me |

She said, "Why don't you
Come and stay with me Far away from people we know? We could live our lives together Happiness wherever we go" And I will always love her And I will always care And I will always love her Wasn't long before she grew tired of me And the life she thought would redeem All the love she'd thrown away as a child All the things she thought she had seen And I will always love her And I will always care And I will always love her - instrumental break - And I will always love her And I will always care And I will always love her |

Two of them watched in the dawn's early light
And two of them died in the morning Search not your soul if you want to be right But two of them died in the morning It's not for you we cry No, not for those who die It is only for their sons Forget the lives of others who are gone Two and by two in the dawn's early light All went to die in the morning Search not your souls for the truth and the right For all went to die in the morning light It's not for you we cry No, not for those who die It is only for their sons Forget the lives of others who are gone It's not for you we cry No, not for those who die It is only for their sons Forget the lives of others who are gone Forget the lives of others who are gone Forget the lives of others Forget your wives and mothers Forget the lives of others who are gone |

Young and yet wise, only a child Wake up in the morning, frown across your face I know your name, but not your place Wish I could show you how to live your life But I'm not sure which one of us is right God only knows the tears I've cried Vanessa Simmons, funny kind of name Have you got life wrong, is it just a game? Wake up in the morning, find a friend at night Friends are hard to find, especially at night Wish I could show you how to live your life But I'm not sure which one of us is right God only knows, and He's the one that shows, the tears I've cried And if I asked you for the sun, would you not say "Light's not the only way to be"? And if I asked you for your love, would you not say "Love is not what you want from me"? And would I not be right To sit alone and wonder every night? Vanessa Simmons, funny kind of name Young and yet wise, only a child Wish I could show you how to live your life But I'm not sure which one of us is right God only knows, and He's the one that shows, the tears I've cried |

Looking like something from out of space we came
Nothing much to look at, but did he complain? He didn't mind us being here to live in peace and grace What we're doing to him now could put us back in space We're thinking like some creatures off the ocean floor Losing sight of what we've really come here for Can I be heard above the sounds of prejudice and hate? Take time to look around before it gets too late It's a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But I'm sorry to be leaving it It's a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But I guess I still, I still believe in it It's a happy old world We're tearing up the rivers and a thousand streams And highways, they're in places where they've never been We're building towers in the sky and racing for the sun Oh Lord, any eye can see what harm we've done I need some help to get myself out of this maze We can both just say goodbye and go our separate ways My mind's not on this song I sing, my heart's not in the lines Guess I'll go and kill myself, so would you kindly close the blinds Oh a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But I'm sorry to be leaving it It's a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But I guess, guess I still believe in it It's a happy old world |

Didn't anybody see his hand move faster
Than the lightning in his eyes Oh! what a cold surprise the flying horses cried And didn't anybody want to ask the calliope To call the tune The flying horses crooned but did not know The Medicine Man sits on the stage Eats fire and water, earth and air while we all stare The silver blade burns bright And tells us to beware Of mirrored passages that throw a thousand images Of younger days The wheel spins slower as it calls us back to play Round and round now we go Shout your name to the wind As it spins by your side Coloured lights echo as the sound slips on by Could that have been me? |

I saw the light of day shine in her eyes I loved her like a baby and I raised her to the sky It seems the light of day did pass me by Now she walks along the seashore And she listens to the sea But I can't say if she ever thinks of me If I were of the ocean Or a wave upon the sand Or just a drop of water in her hand A pebble or a broken shell A rock upon the shore I doubt if I could love her any more Now she walks along the seashore And she listens to the sea And I can't say if she ever thinks of me No I can't say if she ever thinks of me |

John's vision of armageddon literally closes the album with a bang! The references in the lyric to a stained-glass window ("one great wall of coloured parts") and "the multi-coloured cross left standing through it all" add to the apocalyptic feel of the song, which was a live favourite for many years, particularly in the days of the band's concerts with the orchestra.
Lyrics: The eyes of night march slowly by The last grain falls The kneeling man just sighs Protected by the one great wall Of coloured parts He probes his clouded mind If he takes a look around him Is there nothing left to see Is there nothing left at all After the day With trembling hands he wipes his eyes He tries to stand But does not feel the need The morning sun shines on The multicoloured cross Left standing through it all If he takes a look around him Is there nothing left to see Is there nothing left at all After the day If he takes a look around him Is there nothing left to see Is there nothing left at all After the day |

In the shining sun
My images they run Confusing all I've done before I've begun And every city scene Becomes a roaring stream A nightmare and a dream rolled into one But when the city sleeps I'm up and on my feet Along the darkened streets Hear me run Through the empty town Running, laughing, down No-one else around ? to bother old me By factories I sway My shadows seem to play To do this in the day ? I'd never be free But when the city sleeps I'm up and on my feet Along the darkened streets Hear me run |

I feel sorry for the soldier who is shot and stoned in anger
I feel sorry for his wife and child at home I feel sorry for the bomber who all life and limb dishonours For the people that he's maimed and left alone The Lord God said love thy neighbour Though in human life he trades, he's still a man I feel sorry for the children who with open mind are willing To fight for ideals aged and past their time I feel sorry for the children who will join the vicious circle Of instinct fear bred from their parents' minds The Lord God said love thy neighbour Break the circle, free the hater, call him a friend Wake up, wake up, there's a man by your side With a knife and a gun in each hand Wake up, wake up, you're one and the same It's time to stop and decide Is it love or hate? Is it peace or war? It's for sure there's no inbetween Politicians point views But they're pointing for you The solution has to be seen I thought I saw a summer soldier, helmet on his brow His silver rifle clutched beneath his armour-plated shroud I fire in hate, he cried aloud To protect myself from defeat My shield's my cause, my cause is war And from war I'll make no retreat I dreamt I saw an angel bright, a halo on his brow His golden sword lay in its sheath beneath his silver shroud I drwa thee not, he cried aloud Though your deeds like spears strike my soul My shield's my love, my cause is peace Faith be sure I shall not retreat |

To think of things, lost and done You wonder why she left so soon No word or reason why All feelings born can only die Lazy days passing by With memories you just can't hide The song flows on you can't pursue Your words don't mean a thing The mood's too hard for you to sing Moving on with a sigh A silhouette against the sky The seconds they dripped right on by And slowly filled the day And feelings born can only fade away |

When I was just a child
My world it was so small The empty playground swings The corner shop, the penny drinks The backyard walls Of a brave new world And as the years passed by I never thought to try And memorise the dreams The childhood fantasies The backyard walls Of a brave new world Hey, Suzanne, won't you come out to play? Well the moon is bright and this weather's fine And there's something I've got to say Hey, Suzanne, won't you come out to play? Well my mama told me and I know she's right That the blackest day's when the nations fight Remember to pray when you go to bed For what mama said Bow your head For a brave new world Now I'm twenty-four My small world's closed the door I feel like I should cry Death's desperation lies on every eye In the brave new world Hey, Suzanne, won't you come out to play? Well the moon is bright and the weather's fine And there's something I've got to say Hey, Suzanne, won't you come out to play? Well my mama told me and I know she's right That the blackest day's when the nations fight Remember to pray when you go to bed For what mama said Bow your head For a brave new world Now I'm old and grey And life has passed my way My tears have all run dry I've seen men born to kill and born to die For a brave new world For a brave new world It's such an old, old world |

It's a long long way from here and when I get there I will tell, I will tell I've been looking for a time that I once knew I could spend some happy hours just being there with you It doesn't matter where you go As long as there is someone there you know So if you need a friend you can depend on me 'Cause I know what it feels to be alone And in the darkest night you need a light to see Your shadow's sinking low Just like a stone Feels like a broken bone Guess I'll go on home I've been looking for someone I know so well She's a long long way from me and when I find her I will tell her It doesn't matter where she goes As long as there is someone there she knows |

Didn't anybody see his hand move faster
Than the lightning in his eyes Oh! what a cold surprise the flying horses cried And didn't anybody want to ask the calliope To call the tune The flying horses crooned but did not know The Medicine Man sits on the stage Eats fire and water, earth and air while we all stare The silver blade burns bright And tells us to beware Of mirrored passages that throw a thousand images Of younger days The wheel spins slower as it calls us back to play Round and round now we go Shout your name to the wind As it spins by your side Coloured lights echo as the sound slips on by Could that have been me? |

Sitting here, me and Chris's son
We've got a story to strike you down About a girl with the light in her eyes Black on the night, drive on the day Let the wheels run dry Sitting here, waiting for the sun Little darling, for you to come By the light of the moon flashing by Black on the night, drive on the day Let the wheels run dry Fly on by silver bird in the sky Fly on day, black on night, roll on by Bring on the sunshine shine in her eyes Fly on by silver bird Sitting here in the early grey Of a Delph town morning, we sit and pray For a sight of the light in her eyes Black on the night, drive on the day Let the wheels run dry Fly on by silver bird in the sky Fly on day, black on night, roll on by Bring on the sunshine shine in her eyes Fly on by silver bird |

I feel sorry for the soldier who is shot and stoned in anger
I feel sorry for his wife and child at home I feel sorry for the bomber who all life and limb dishonours For the people that he's maimed and left alone The Lord God said love thy neighbour Though in human life he trades, he's still a man I feel sorry for the children who with open mind are willing To fight for ideals aged and past their time I feel sorry for the children who will join the vicious circle Of instinct fear bred from their parents' minds The Lord God said love thy neighbour Break the circle, free the hater, call him a friend Wake up, wake up, there's a man by your side With a knife and a gun in each hand Wake up, wake up, you're one and the same It's time to stop and decide Is it love or hate? Is it peace or war? It's for sure there's no inbetween Politicians point views But they're pointing for you The solution has to be seen I thought I saw a summer soldier, helmet on his brow His silver rifle clutched beneath his armour-plated shroud I fire in hate, he cried aloud To protect myself from defeat My shield's my cause, my cause is war And from war I'll make no retreat I dreamt I saw an angel bright, a halo on his brow His golden sword lay in its sheath beneath his silver shroud I drwa thee not, he cried aloud Though your deeds like spears strike my soul My shield's my love, my cause is peace Faith be sure I shall not retreat |

I cannot see you
For the sun is in my eyes I cannot hear you Everything you say just passes by What I'd give for just a smile Instead of drifting at A hundred thousand miles Can you hear me there below? All my lines have gone dead And I'm not very sure Can you hear me there below? 'Cause I'm coming down fast I can't make it alone Oh no no no... I cannot see you For the sun is in my eyes I cannot hear you Everything you say just passes by Here I stay until I'm found Insane in space and my world Is spinning round Can you hear me there below? All my lines have gone dead And I'm not very sure Can you hear me there below? 'Cause I'm coming down fast I can't make it alone |

The moon is making patterns on the water
Why it is I just can't say I'm not old enough or wise enough to wonder I don't think about the magic that I'm under Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes You'll find me in the twilight on the mountain When the sun shines on the lake I'm a child of darkness lost among the thunder Where the shafts of moonlight break the sky asunder Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes |

Child of God was born today
The child of woman just slipped away The child of man knelt down to pray And the children of the earth Didn't know it was the day of Creation, creation, creation One thousand years or maybe more Since they first set eyes on that foreign shore The grass was green and the water pure They turned the key and opened the door To a nation, nation, nation Child of God says love your brother Take him by the hand Child of God says love your neighbour Make him understand Child of God says love your sister Take her by the hand Child of God says love your neighbour Make him understand Make him understand All believers gather round Press your faces to the ground Lift your voices to the sound Of all the others who have found Salvation, salvation, salvation Salvation, salvation, salvation Child of God says love your brother Take him by the hand Child of God says love your neighbour Make him understand Child of God says love your sister Take her by the hand Child of God says love your neighbour Make him understand Make him understand Salvation, salvation, salvation Salvation, salvation, salvation Salvation, salvation, salvation Salvation, salvation, salvation |

The summer sun, the winter rain
Won't ever change now I'm over you The morning light, the evening night Won't ever change now I'm over you I'm over you, now I'm over you Now I'm over you Clouds in the sky, birds flying by Won't ever change now I'm over you A young child's cry, a lover's sigh Won't ever change now I'm over you I'm over you, over you, now I'm over you Without your love The morning light hurts my eyes Without your love The evening skies make me cry Without your love I'd be no place at all I'd be lost without you Clouds in the sky, birds flying by Won't ever change now I'm over you A young child's cry, a lover's sigh Won't ever change now I'm over you I'm over you, over you, now I'm over you I'm over you, over you, I'm over you I'm over you, over you, now I'm over you Now I'm over you, over you, I'm over you I'm over you, over you, I'm over you |

In the shining sun
My images they run Confusing all I've done before I've begun And every city scene Becomes a roaring stream A nightmare and a dream rolled into one But when the city sleeps I'm up and on my feet Along the darkened streets Hear me run Through the empty town Running, laughing, down No-one else around ? to bother old me By factories I sway My shadows seem to play To do this in the day ? I'd never be free But when the city sleeps I'm up and on my feet Along the darkened streets Hear me run |

I think I'm going back from where I came
There's something that I feel but can't explain People running round and round Putting one another down The joker laughs the joker cries He sees the world through weary eyes People running round and round Putting one another down Too many people, they don't know where they're going There are no haloes showing "Peace and love", just greed and hate It's not too late to see we're all the same The joker sees a better way But people laugh and turn away |

How do you feel now
We've got a reason to go on Newly born Seems like I've waited for a lifetime But honey I believed in you When I saw her face I had to cry I don't know why Is she real? Seems like I've waited for a lifetime But honey I believed in you To make my dreams all come true We've got a child I tried and tried to talk it over Seemed like we'd waited a million years Then you conceived our child was born And we were one Picked her up put her by your side Saw a smile that you couldn't hide I tried and tried to talk it over Seerr.ed like we'd waited a million years Then you conceived our child was born And we were one Picked her up put her by your side Saw a smile that you couldn't hide How do you feel now We've got a reason to go on Newly born Seems like I've waited for a lifetime But honey I believed in you To make my dreams all come true We've got a child |

Stranger at the gate let him in
Stranger at the gate let him in Stranger at the gate let him in Won't you let him in He's been waiting on the other side He's been waiting on the other side He's been waiting for the turn of the tide Won't you let him in Promises leave you with nothing to show Destiny leaves you with nowhere to go Back to the wall Have you seen the light? Is your soul worth saving? Back to the wall Can you pay the price Then your life is waiting Down by the shore We can help you no more Standing with our back to the wall Is your soul worth saving? Have you seen the light? Then your life is waiting Can you pay the price? Promises leave you with nothing to show Destiny leaves you with nowhere to go Back to the wall Have you seen the light? Is your soul worth saving? Back to the wall Can you pay the price Then your life is waiting Down by the shore We can help you no more Standing with our back to the wall |

You got the groove
I got to move Cause suddenly something's unreal I got to go Get up and go Cause you ain't the way that I feel I know what I like And it ain't looking at you If I have to believe I believe in myself and nobody else Your kind of love ain't for real I got the wheels I got the deals But suddenly you ain't so cool Great God above it's diamond love But that kind of rock don't appeal I know what I like And it ain't looking at you If I have to believe I believe in myself and nobody else Your kind of love ain't for real I got to change it's feeling strange And strange is a highway for fools If it's diamond love that makes you feel good Then that kind of love I can steal I know what I like And it ain't looking at you If I have to believe I believe in myself and nobody else Your kind of love I can steal |

Here lie the towers so tall
Strange, they tumble and fall Time softly playing the chord Could be lost in the void Do your eyes see it all? Gone like the dreams that you made Sad how memory fades Drawn by the mystical sight There's a voice in the night And your eyes see it all Stay with me All I want from you Just stay with me All I want to do Is look in your eyes And sail on through the night Echoes and shadows Drift through tomorrow's Dreams that you follow In the dark Fools are entranced by the dawn But the wise man misses it all He laughs and the pages are torn While the intellect scorns As he clutches the straws Stay with me All I want from you Just stay with me All I want to do Is look in your eyes And sail on through the night Echoes and shadows Drift through tomorow's Dreams that you follow In the dark |

I look down the street but there's no one there
In the cold, in the dark, in the night air I call out for life but my heart feels despair There's no sign of a light in the cold dismal night The lights have all gone the clothes are all torn The people are gone but the victory's won I call out for life but it's after the day Now the people are gone just the city alone Eyes look from the second floor Down to the street below Calm now the wind is slow See posters once on the wall Now washed away in the rain Peeling from buildings tall I'll follow you friends to where life never ends Make our mistakes again as our life lines descend Time is like dust and the dust is like snow As it covers the ruins of the life that you know Trees once green now turned to stone Objects that look like ghosts All of them overgrown Mist all sight and mind is blurred Lie on your back and cry Words uttered never heard I look down the street but there's no one there In the cold, in the dark, in the night air I call out for life but my heart feels despair There's no sign of a light in the cold dismal night The lights have all gone the clothes are torn The people are gone but the victory's won I call out for life but it's after the day Now the people are gone just the city alone |

Look around
And cry aloud Seems so much is happening But I have found When you awake The sky will shine Even on a cloudy day Want to be Where I can see Oh so much is happening To you and me Will it end? Will day turn black Will we ever see things right And how can we make it through the night? I'm like a train That's jumping the track Caught up in the slide And I'll never come back I turn around and look for a way Nothing that I can do Nothing that I can say What a life I was living before Hard to see If you can't find a door Seen the turning Know it's burning me To be with you I'm like a train That's jumping the track Caught up in the slide And I'll never come back I turn around and look for a way Nothing that I can do Nothing that I can say |
