Camel - A Live Record [live] (1993) by Camel (보컬) on maniadb.com

Crazy preachers of our doom
Telling us there is no room
Not enough for all mankind
And the seas of time are all running dry
Don't they know it's a lie...

Man is born with the will to survive,
He'll not take no for an answer
He will get by, somehow he'll try,
He won't take no, never let go, no...

I hear them talk about Kingdom Come,
I hear them discuss Armageddon...
They say the hour is getting late,
But I can still hear someone say,
That is not the way...

Man is born with the will to survive,
He'll not take no for an answer.
He will get by, somehow he'll try,
He won't take no, never let go, no...

The sun has left the sky
Now you can close your eyes
Leave the world behind until tomorrow
The dream is like a song
It leads you on and on
The piper plays his tune so you must follow

So far beyond the sky
Not knowing how or why
You realize this feeling is forever
And though another day
May steal your dreams away
You and the song will always stay together

Listen very carefully, my words are about to unfold
Concerning a lady I've seen but I never could hold
I can see by your smile,
Take a long while,
The words that come through,
I see that they're true,
For she reminds me of you.

Don't misunderstand me, it's not always easy to say
The words in your head and your heart that you just can't explain
I can see clearly,
A face in the sky,
Moon's in your eye,
You're passing me by.
Tell me the reason why.

I can see clearly,
A face in the sky,
Moon's in your eye,
You're passing me by.

Saw you riding on a moon cloud,
Saw you walking on a whirlpool,
From the corner of my eye,
I saw you.

Saw you sitting on a sunbeam,
In the middle of my daydream,
Oh my Lady Fantasy,
I love you.

He lives in an old lighthouse on the Essex
Marshes, caring for the wild birds. Rhayader
He lives in an old lighthouse on the Essex
Marshes, caring for the wild birds.

The townsfolk react coldly towards
Rhayader because of his odd appearance.
But their fear is mixed with curiosity for he
Has a noble bearing.

The Snow Goose swept off course by a sea
Storm just reaches the Essex coast. Fritha
Finds her exhausted and wounded on the
Beach and gently cradles her, for she has
Heard that nearby lives a man who is a great
Healer of birds.

When she meets Rhayader she too is
Fleftened, but her concern for the Snow
Goose overcomes her fear.

While the Snow Goose gradually gains
Strength, tended to by Rhayader and visited
By Fritha, a strong bond of affection grows
Between the three of them.

With the departure of the Snow Goose,
Fritha no longer visits the lighthouse and
Rhayader is once more alone with the
Melancholy sounds of the marshes.

As Rhayader departs, leaving Fritha behind he
Cannot prevent the Snow Goose following him
Out across the channel and left into the heart of
Battle.

Rhayader ferries many stranded soldiers to safety
Until at last he is hit, and the Snow Goose is seen
Circling low over the spot where the little boat has
Gone down.

Fritha realizing somehow that Rhayader will not
Return and is still looking out to sea when she
Spies the Snow Goose. She is filled with a sweet
Sadness as she follows her princess home in as if
To land only to fly away, out of sight lost forever.
