Golden Wings
03:50
|
|||
Don't think that you can bring this angel down to earth
Her wings will tear away your chains
The song of freedom is so strong she breaks away
When she chooses she can fly on golden wings
When she needs to she can fly on golden wings
Don't think that you can keep this angel when she falls
Her life will take her to the blue
Her wings can reach much further than a lover's eyes
When she chooses she can fly on golden wings
When she needs to she can fly on golden wings
Her golden, her golden wings
Her golden, her golden wings
Where your eyes cannot follow
Her home is far away, so far away
Far away,so far away
Where angels fly, on golden wings
Don't think that you can offer love without a risk
She leads you, follow if you dare
Her wings can reach so far beyond the sea or sky
Where angels fly on golden wings
Where angels fly on golden wings
Where angels fly on golden wings

Gypsy
04:58
|

And so they say that you're that you're the wild one
That you fade like evening light
And the storm could never hold you
Only love makes it right
So you say you'll never stay here
Like passing time you must move on
If freedom is the only answer
Maybe the questions are all wrong
Gypsies come and go.
Gypsy come, gypsy go
Where she roams nobody knows
Gypsy come, gypsy go
Where she roams nobody knows
When the evening light is dying
Her shadow fades and disappears
A memory of love and laughter
Will your waiting turn to fear
Now the dusty road is empty
The seasons have turned around
Only her ghost is left to dance there
Loneliness is all you found
Gypsies come and go

Autumn Glory
02:57
|

Do you remember when we climbed the mountain
Followed the river up to it's source
Climbing higher than we'd ever dared before
Guided by the river's course
Looking out over the autumn forest
Crystal waters falling to the lake
Looking out on creation
Thought our hearts would surely break
I love you, I love you, I love you from that day
I love you, I love you, more than I can say
Autumn glory is captured in your autumn eyes
Autumn glory took me by surprise
Your glory, your glory, your glory, all your glory
Your glory, your glory, your glory, all your glory
We discovered the breath taking beauty
Of autumn glory under golden skies
I discovered autumn had a rival
It was the beauty captured in your eyes
All the colours of the autumn forest
Under golden light from above
Every autumn brings back memories
Of the day we fell in love
I love you, I love you, I loved you from that day
I love you, I love you more than I can say
Autumn glory is captured in your autumn eyes
Autumn glory took me by surprise
Autumn glory, autumn glory, autumn glory

The Wine

Whose that sitting at the end of the bar
Pouring his drinks from an earthenware jar
What did you expect for this time of day
You buy him a drink and he'll go away
He's an all time loser that they taught to sing
Trouble and pain was all he could bring
He sits there drinking by the telephone
He can't get strength to go home alone
Cos the phone keeps ringing and there's noone there
Just a dirty trick to get him out of his chair
He dreams one day at the end of the line
A voice will say, "come taste the wine"
Sweet success looked him in the face
He said you're good but to win this race
You got to be mean enough to make you rich
Forget lady luck, she's a filthy bitch
And how, and how?
So our little boy singer with the sweet silver voice
Said to the man, "That's a hell of a choice. What about fun and all the good times? Forget about the rest I want to taste the wine!"
Cos the phone keeps ringing and there's noone there
Just a dirty trick to get him out of his chair
He dreams one day at the end of the line
A voice will say, "Come taste the wine"
I don't know what you thinking but it seems to be so plain
That you're not prepared to tell us all of things that seem so strange
The wine is there for taking by anyone who dares
But the the one who drinks the deepest is the one with smallest cares
Come taste the wine, the wine, come taste the wine
I need the wine
Whose that sitting at the end of the bar
Pouring his drinks from an earthenware jar
What did you expect for this time of day
You buy him a drink and he'll go away
He's an all time loser that they taught to sing
Trouble and pain was all he could bring
He sits there drinking by the telephone
He can't get strength to go home alone
Cos the phone keeps ringing and there's no one there
Just a dirty trick to get him out of his chair
He dreams one day at the end of the line
A voice will say, "come taste the wine"

Sahara

Oh Sahara, Sahara, Sahara
Sahara the wind is a demon
The sand is an ocean, so is the desert sun
Sahara
Sahara the night is a lover she dances in moonlight sure to discover love
Sahara
Oh Sahara, Sahara, Sahara
Sahara casts an illusion, pulls you inside her
Mirage and mystery
Sahara
Sahara dunes all around her
Promising death to all that have found her love
Sahara
Oh Sahara, Sahara, Sahara

Majestic
07:44
|

So the seagulls flew away towards the dying sun
And she felt the rain on her shoulders
But you know she can't forget, ice on fire and burning trees
And a life alone
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
But you know she can't explain
Every heart beat filled with pain
And you never know she's gone
With the rising of the sun
She's gone now, she's gone
Broken dreams fall from the sky
At the glass by her feet
And the fears they grow every time the rain falls
But you know she won't forget
The silver moon and dying stars
And a life of hate
Can she stop the changes?
Can she rearrange it?
But you know she can't explain
Every heart beat's filled with pain
And you never know she's gone
With the rising of the sun
She's gone now, she's gone.
A single ship appears on the horizon
Is it just a dream? If it's just a dream it's so majestic, majestic, it's so majestic. So majestic.
Rainbow sails that fill the sky with colour
They're closer now. No it's not a dream, it's real
It's so majestic, majestic, so majestic
Now the ship has reached the shore
The figurehead alive
It turns to her and says it's come to take you home
Cos you're majestic, majestic, you're all majestic
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, she waves goodbye

Walk on Water
06:33
|

Standing by the river
At the water's edge
I saw reflections of the sky
Inside my head, inside my head
I saw blood
I saw fire
Faces that I miss
Absent lovers, absent friends
Dying with a kiss, dying with a kiss
Walk on water
Walk on water
Walk on water, wash away the pain
Walk on water
Walk on water
Walk on water, wash away the pain
Walking on the water
Rising to my heart
Out of reach a flower dies
Petals fall apart, love falls apart
In my eyes, in my eyes
Splinters breaking glass
Tears join the river
All things must pass

Sweet Warrior

Hello my sweet warrior
With your bloodshed dreams
Has the battle torn you at the seams
And has your fair maiden lost her grace,
Lost her feelings, lost her place
Lost her feelings, lost her grace
And is your dead brother
In the battle mound
Has his heart still not been found
Will his heart never, ever be found
Sleep now, my brave warrior
Close your eyes of blue
Have the strangers broken you in two
How is your fair maiden
Does she sleep as your memory she keeps
Does she weep as your memory keeps
And is your dead brother
In the battle mound
Has his heart still not been found
Will his heart never, ever be found
Goodbye my dead warrior
Now the bitter sword
Has severed the bloodless silver cord
So weeps your fair maiden
The last sight, the pale lily of death
The lost knight has taken his last breath
And is your dead brother
In the battle mound
Has his heart still not been found
Will his heart never, ever be found

Lady Fuchsia

Oh lady Fuchsia, where have you been?
Out in the woods
Out in the wind
Away from here, away from here
Hair as black as midnight, crimson your robe
Back in your empty room
You find the blood red rose
What keeps you here, is it love or fear?
What keeps you here, is it love or fear?
Now she lies as cold as ancient stone
Her mother says goodnight to a child that sleeps alone
In darkness, in darkness, in darkness
Lost in the ritual, sealed in a living tomb
The stranger preys upon you
Haunts your secret room
With cold desire, his face is fire
With cold desire, his face is fire
Your father's books are burning
Madness in his eyes
Gaining love and losing love
The water's rise
The storm is here, the end is near
The storm is here, the end is near
Now the flood has reached her window ledge
She takes a step too far, the water drowns her easily.
Takes her life, takes her breath
It takes her life, brings her death
Takes her life
Now she lies as cold as ancient stone
Her mother says goodnight to a child that sleeps alone
In darkness and in death
In darkness and in death
In darkness and in death
In darkness and in death

The Wilderness
06:31

We used to be so close
We had no need to touch each other
We used to use our eyes and never say a word
We used to give each other
Everything that we needed
We used to use our eyes and never say a word
Thought love would last forever
I thought we'd be together
I never thought I'd have to say
I'd rather die in the wilderness than to have you back again
I'd rather die in an empty room than to see your face again
I used to laugh at your sweet caress now it only brings me pain
I'd rather die in the wilderness
I'd rather die in the burning rain, the burning rain
In the wilderness, the burning rain
We used to be so strong, we fought the world together
We stood there side by side against an angry world
We used to give each other everything that we needed
We used to use our eyes and never say a word
Thought love would last forever
I thought we'd be together
I never thought I'd have to say
I'd rather die in the wilderness than to have you back again
I'd rather die in an empty room than to see your face again
I used to laugh at your sweet caress now it only brings me pain
I'd rather die in the wilderness
I'd rather die in the burning rain, the burning rain
In the wilderness, the burning rain
