Glass Tiger

A fight for king or country
Can liven any heart
To sleep beneath the open skies
A love affair can start
Echoes in the valley
As embers cross "red skies"
I'm calling from the mountain
Echoes of no reply

[Chorus:]
I will be there
Oh! When you call my name
I will be there
Oh! If you call my name...
I will be there

Listen to the silence
As shadows dance with me
A ticking clock of endless time
Clouds my memory
I'm calling from the mountains
Echoes of no reply.

[Chorus]

When they came to this land
We gave our friendship, gave them our hands
But it was never to be
Oh, you must bow down, they said,
"Fall to your knees."
Oh, Diamond Sun has to burn
Oh, are we never to learn.

Love gives life and life is love
But what have we done?

We have walked on this earth
Since the first star was shining and the moon had its birth
But as with the shadows
Of lonely trees
We are in bondage
But our hearts are still free
Oh Diamond Sun has to burn
Oh, are we never to learn?

Love gives life and life is love...

Still Diamond Sun has to burn
Oh, are we never to learn
Still Diamond Sun has to burn
In my heart I believe
Someday the sun will shine
And you shall be free
And bless our children as they're put to the test
You'll hear the heartbeat
Of a nation's unrest
Oh Diamond Sun has to burn
Oh are we never to learn.

Love gives life and life is love...

Love gives life and life is love...

A fight for king or country
Can liven any heart
To sleep beneath the open skies
A love affair can start
Echoes in the valley
As embers cross "red skies"
I'm calling from the mountain
Echoes of no reply

[Chorus:]
I will be there
Oh! When you call my name
I will be there
Oh! If you call my name...
I will be there

Listen to the silence
As shadows dance with me
A ticking clock of endless time
Clouds my memory
I'm calling from the mountains
Echoes of no reply.

[Chorus]

When you walked into the room
I saw their faces
You made it seem like time was standing still
And I felt fascination
Though I knew you just casually

So I slowly made my way to where you were standing
The hounds were gathered near
I didn't care
And you sensed desperation
My heart gave me away

And then you said
You're what I look for
Je pense que je t'adore
You're what I look for
Lately

When our eyes met in conversation
Oh, I tried to smile, you looked the other way
You made situations seem like love affairs

And then you said
You're what I look for
Je pense que je t'adore
You're what I look for
Lately

Now it's over
(It's over)
It's over
(It's over)
Oh, it's over
(It's over)
Oh, oh, oh

You're what I look for
You're what I look for
You're what I look for
Lately

Oh, you're what I look for
You're what I look for
You're what I look for
Lately

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

The hands of time have spoken for the chosen ones
Cold steel glistens in the dawning sun
Destiny and claidemaugh that embraces me
All here to sacrifice for victory

Hidden in the shadows where the cold wind comes
A mist queen dances for her fallen sons
Over and over
Her shadow falls over me

Remember no retreat, for here you die where you stand
It's chance that brings the Rory's to this foreign land
The crimson and the claidemaugh make you strangers to fear
A thin red streak tipped with a line of steel

Shadows fall over me
All for the thin red line
All for the thin red line

Now the battles over, Kedikoi can cry
For all the gallant hillmen she's seen fought and die
Red is for the heroes green is for the brave
Soldiers would you leave me with no souls to save

Shadows fall over me
All for the thin red line
All for the thin red line
All for the thin red line

Oh oh oh oh oh

ohhhhh!!
When I come home you telephone,and say your waiting for me.
I ask you why, I hear you cry,cause your still waiting for me.
Chorous:
Someday you'll be shedding your tears to cry over me.
Someday I'll be loosing this fear.

Now I'm alone no telephone and tell me you don't need me.
I ask you why and tell me lies and say the truth would hurt me.
OOOOOOH!
Chorous:
Someday you'll be shedding your tears to cry over me.
Someday I'll be loosing this fear.
OHHHHH! OHHHHH! someday.

OHHHHHH!
Down in the streets where lovers meet.
That's where I'm waiting for you.
In the streets where lovers meet, I'm still waiting for you.
Chorous
Someday You'll be shedding your tears and then you'll cry over me.
Someday I'll be loosing this fear. OOOHH
Someday you'll be shedding your tears, and then you'll cry over me.
Someday I'll be loosing this fear. OHHHHH

You take my breath away
Love thinks it's here to stay
There's still so much for me to do
And I can't stop loving you
Oh, can this be true?

If you could see what I have seen
(The) broken hearts and broken dreams
Then I wake up, and you're not there
Pain finds me everywhere
Oh, but you don't care

[Chorus]
Don't forget me when I'm gone
My heart would break
I have loved you for so long
It's all I can take

You, you take my breath away
Love thinks it's here to stay
There's still so much for me to do
And I can't stop loving you
Oh, can this be true?

[Chorus]

Then I wake up, and you're not there
Pain finds me everywhere
Oh, but you don't care

[Chorus x 2]

It's 2:00 a.m. and I'm incapable again
Another face that I don't know
I need to breathe, I need to feel
But in the end I can never let it show

I believe you've heard it all before
But I'm pretty sure of one thing
You can't take it anymore
You don't realize what you've got
Until you give it away

A little bit higher, a little bit closer
We'll be stronger, we'll cross over
A little bit higher, a little bit longer
Love forever

And so if you'll just have to ask me again
If I love you, I don't know
But I know this life will pass me in the end
Fuel is dangerously low

Let's believe that towers never fall
No one ever buys a gun
No one ever builds a wall
You don't realize what you've got
Until you give it away

A little bit higher, a little bit closer
We'll be stronger, we'll cross over
A little bit higher, a little bit longer
Love forever, love grows stronger

All you ever needed was a little protection
Bouncin' off the walls in a wrong direction
Pick it up and turn it 'round, moving at the speed of sound
Over, under, up is down, all I ever do is love you

Please be there when I am coming down
But don't try to catch me
I'd prefer to hit the ground
I didn't realize what I've got
Until I gave it away

A little bit higher, a little bit closer
We'll be stronger, we'll cross over
A little bit higher, a little bit longer
Love forever, love grows stronger

A little bit higher, a little bit closer
We'll stronger, we'll cross over
A little bit higher, a little bit longer
Love forever, love grows stronger

Oh, oh, oh

You're what I look for
You're what I look for
You're what I look for

Oh, you're what I look for
You're what I look for
You're what I look for
Lately

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

The rumors are vicious
My ears are burning
It's been a long, hard day
Telephone rings
I still got nothing to say
Considerations tossed
Out the window
I feel a little bit wired
The rules say anything goes
But I don't want to play
You said I could walk away
Take me back to where
My life burns
I'm still searching for something
I'm still looking for someone
But I'm caught in the middle
Of a broken heart
And a life on the run
Took a long walk
I went down through the backstreets
I heard the city scream
Reminds me of the time
I run wicked and free
Now, here I stand all alone
But I'm back to where
My life burns
One heart
One home
But I'm still holding on
I've loved
But I've roamed
Now I'm goin' home
Goin' home

ohhhhh!!
When I come home you telephone,and say your waiting for me.
I ask you why, I hear you cry,cause your still waiting for me.
Chorous:
Someday you'll be shedding your tears to cry over me.

Someday you'll be shedding your tears, and then you'll cry over me.

Do you hold your breath
When you look in the mirror
Stealing years it takes
Not a giver
Have you taken refuge
From its charm

Do you cry as dreams
Go past you forever
Of things you've done
And all that you never
Living in the shadows
Of the stars
Ooh yeah

Oh, you're in ecstasy
Ecstasy, ecstasy forever

With crying eyes you tell me you're leaving
Aging mind are you still believing
Breaking my heart I know what you're feeling
I can't stop the mirror from stealing
I have taken refuge from its charms
Ooh yeah

Oh, you're in ecstasy
Ecstasy, ecstasy forever
Oh, ah ah ah

Now you're in your golden years
Your golden years
Ah ah ah

Oh, you're in ecstasy
Ecstasy, ecstasy forever
Ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy forever
Ah ah ah
Ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy forever
Forever
Forever
Forever

What can I write
What can I write
What can I say
What can I say

Golden oceans
Of jealous desert sands
As ancient evening
Spreads across the land

Living, loving
Ancient evening
Seeing
Believe in your love

So after I die and I leave here
Will time, wind and thieves ravage me
Place my body beneath the desert sand
And pray that the queen welcomes me

Living, loving
Ancient evening
Seeing
Believe in your love

Living, loving
Ancient evening
Seeing
Believe in your love

Color the black in my soul white
From out of the dark comes the daylight
Untold treasures are hidden memories
Of ancient evening that you have given me

Living, loving
Ancient evening
Seeing
Believe in your love

Living, loving
Ancient evening
Seeing
Believe in your love

Living, loving
Ancient evening
Seeing
Believe in your love

Living, loving
Ancient evening
Seeing
Believe in your love

Here's my story written for you
A hidden story
Looking inside from the outside
I remember a time when I was young

I'm looking at a picture of another time
Of childhood days and summer nights

When I look back on how I loved you
Spent my fortune the way that young boys do

I'm looking at a picture of another time
Of childhood days and summer nights
I'm looking at the sadness in a young girl's eyes
The leaving's hard to do
But I can't wait for you, oh

Whatever I gave to you
The living's easy, loving's hard for you
Living's easy, loving's hard for you, oh

I'm looking at a picture of another time
The leaving's hard to do
And I can't wait for you
I'm looking at the sadness in a young girl's eyes
Oh, oh, oh
Looking at a picture of you
Oh, I can't wait, I can't wait for you
Looking at a picture of you
I'm looking at the sadness in a young girl's eyes
The leaving's hard to do
Looking at a picture of you

My tribe is fading
Tribe
My tribe is fading
Tribe
My tribe is fading
Tribe
Vanishing tribe, vanishing love

Well as the sun goes down it marks the end of day
When the moon comes out it takes my breath away
In my memories the children dance and sing
Bringing happiness that only children bring
I've seen the new world come
I see the old world go
I've watched the sky shed tears
'Til rivers overflow
I feel the mountains move
I'm watching nature die
I hear the young men singing
As the old men cry

Vanishing tribe, vanishing love
Vanishing tribe, vanishing love
I've had my life, my time has come
Vanishing tribe

Now as I near the light a shadow follows me
On such a tribal night she sets her children free
They can take my life but they can't take my home
Dance closer to the light, I vanish all alone.

Vanishing tribe, vanishing love
Vanishing tribe, vanishing love
I've had my life, my time has come
Vanishing tribe

Oh
I see a distant light
The stars are burning bright
My tribe is fading
My tribe is fading
My tribe is fading

Vanishing tribe, vanishing love
Vanishing tribe, vanishing love
I've had my life, my time has come
Vanishing tribe, vanishing love

Vanishing tribe, vanishing love
Vanishing tribe, vanishing love
I've had my life, my time has come
Vanishing tribe, vanishing love

Vanishing tribe, vanishing love
Vanishing tribe, vanishing love

It's sad
You keep me waiting
Listen, hear falling tears?
Watching someone replacing
All that you've given to me
To get

Closer to you (tell me, tell me something)
Closer to you (tell me, tell me something)
Closer to you (tell me, tell me something)
Closer to you

Remember one night together
Always meant much more to me
Then came pain with the pleasure
I leave, now you cry for me
To get

Closer to you (tell me, tell me something)
Closer to you (tell me, tell me something)
Closer to you (tell me, tell me something)
Closer to you

I need closer to you
Oh, I want closer to you

Closer to you (tell me, tell me something)
I want closer to you (tell me, tell me something)
Closer to you (tell me, tell me something)
I need closer to you (tell me, tell me something)

You gonna help me (tell me, tell me something)
Help me, help me (tell me, tell me something)
Closer to you (tell me, tell me something)
I want closer to you (tell me, tell me something)

You gonna help me (tell me, tell me something)
Help me, help me (tell me, tell me something)
I want closer to you (tell me, tell me something)
I need closer to you (tell me, tell me something)

You take my breath away
Love thinks it's here to stay
There's still so much for me to do
And I can't stop loving you
Oh, can this be true?

If you could see what I have seen
(The) broken hearts and broken dreams
Then I wake up, and you're not there
Pain finds me everywhere
Oh, but you don't care

[Chorus]
Don't forget me when I'm gone
My heart would break
I have loved you for so long
It's all I can take

You, you take my breath away
Love thinks it's here to stay
There's still so much for me to do
And I can't stop loving you
Oh, can this be true?

[Chorus]

Then I wake up, and you're not there
Pain finds me everywhere
Oh, but you don't care
