Chris De Burgh - Missing You - The Collection [compilation] (2004) by Chris De Burgh (보컬) on maniadb.com

Oh my heart is spinning like a wheel,
Only she can see the way that I feel,
Eyes are holding right across the room,
High explosion coming out of the blue.
Well here we go again,
Living in a world that others cannot share,
Yea here we go again,
We are moving from a spark to a flame.

I am high on emotion, high again,
High on emotion, your love will find the way.

Oh my heart is burning like a fire,
Closer now and she is breathing desire,
Take my hand and give it all your light,
Take command I am your rhythm tonight.
Well here we go again,
Living in a world that others cannot share,
Yea here we go again,
We are moving from a spark to a flame.

I am high on emotion, high again,
High on emotion, your love will find the way.

I am high on emotion, high again,
High on emotion, your love will find the way.
High on emotion, high again,
High on emotion, her love will find the way ...

Where your love is put your heart
Guard these moments well,
Where your dreams are put your hopes
You know they will not fail you.
When the sun rises in the morning
You will wake up and find her yawning
When the wind blows strong and cold
She'll be with you until you grow old.
Where your love is put your heart,
Oh what would you do,
if your dreams came true?
I would build a lovely house
With sating green shutters
It would be lovely
The most lovely house in the world
And I would sing a lovely song
With you in my mind
And you in my eyes
The most lovely song in the world
I would write it down on the walls
Just for you, just for you
And I would hold you in my arms
For the rest of my days.


When your sad and feeling low
On your own with nowhere to go,
Make believe that she is gone
Play your guitar and write a song for her.
Write down the words about how you cried
When you woke up weeping
cause you thought she had died,
Then you heard her breathing
through your pain
And you held her close
and cried all over again.
Where your love is put your heart
Oh what would you do if
your dreams came true
And inside my lovely house
With satin green shutters
There would be children
The most lovely children in the world.
And even when the skies are grey
We would be happy
For we'd have love
The most lovely love in the world
I would write it down on the wind
Just for you, just for you
And I would hold you in my arms,
For the rest of my days

Oh my love the evening light is catching colours in your eyes
Take another glass of wine and bring your body next to mine
Tell me all the things you've done since you went away this morning
Oh these quiet moments make my daywe must never let them slip away ...

People everywhere the samethey're so busy they don't get together
So these quiet moments make my dayjust to sit with you and drift away ...

There's a Spanish train that runs between
Quadalquivir and old Saville,
And at dead of night the whistle blows,
And people hear she's running still...
And then they hush their children back to sleep,
Lock the doors, upstairs they creep,
For it is said that the souls of the dead
Fill that train ten thousand deep!!
Well a railwayman lay dying
with his people by his side,
His family were crying,
knelt in prayer before he died,
But above his head just a-waiting for the dead,
Was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye,
Well God's not around
and look what I've found, this one's mine!!
Just then the Lord himself appeared
in a blinding flash of light,
And shouted at the devil,
Get thee hence to endless night!!
But the Devil just grinned
and said I may have sinned,
But there's no need to push me around,
I got him first so you can do your worst,
He's going underground!!
But I think I'll give you one more chance
Said the Devil with a smile,
So throw away that stupid lance,
It's really not your style,
Joker is the name, Poker is the game,
We'll play right here on this bed,
And then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet,
The souls of the dead!!
And I said Look out, Lord, he's going to win,
The sun is down and the night is riding in,
That train is dead on time,
many souls are on the line,
Oh Lord, he's going to win!..
Well the railwayman he cut the cards
and he dealt them each a hand of five
And for the Lord he was praying hard
Or that train he'd have to drive...
Well the Devil he had three aces and a king,
And the Lord, he was running for a straight,
He had the queen and the knave
and the nine and ten of spades,
All he needed was the eight...
And then the Lord he called for one more card,
But he drew the diamond eight,
And the Devil said to the son of God,
"I believe you've got it straight,
So deal me one for the time has come
To see who'll be the king of this place,
But as he spoke, from beneath his cloak,
He slipped another ace...
Ten thousand souls was the opening bid,
And it soon went up to fifty-nine,
But the Lord didn't see what the Devil did,
and he said that suits me fine,
I'll raise you high to hundred and five,
And forever put an end to your sin,
But the Devil let out a mighty shout,
My hand wins!!
And I said Lord, oh Lord, you let him win,
The sun is down and the night is riding in,
That train is dead on time,
many souls are on the line,
Oh Lord, don't let him win...
Well that Spanish train still runs between,
Quadalquivir and old Saville,
And at dead of night the whistle blows,
And people hear she's running still...
And far away in some recess
The Lord and the Devil are now playing chess,
The Devil still cheats and wins more souls,
And as for the Lord, well,
he's just doing his best...
And I said Lord, oh Lord, you've got to win,
The Sun is down and the night is riding in,
That train is still on time,
Oh my soul is on the line,
Oh Lord, you've got to win...

Show me a man secure in his love
And I'll show you a lucky man
I loved her too well and I just couldn't tell
She was holding another hand
she would leave in the morning
I broke down and cried
cos I had the love in my eyes I just didn't see it
Such a surprise I just don't believe it
Somebody took her away oh I was blind
I had the love in my eyes ...
Day after dayin so many ways
I gave her the best of me
But she wanted more and she opened the door
Well I hope that you find what you need
And all the time I thought that
she was beside me
She was drifting away
But I had the love in my eyes I just didn't see it
Such a surprise I just don't believe it
Somebody took her away oh I was blind
I had the love in my eyes

The cold north wind they call La Bise
Is swirling round about my knees,
Trees are crying leaves into the river;
I'm huddled in this french caf?br>
I never thought I'd see the day,
But winter's here and summer's really over,
And even the birds have packed up and gone,
They're flying south with their song,
And my love, she too has gone, she had to fly,
Out there, it's such a lonely sky,
They'll trap your wings my love
and hold your flight,
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky,
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky...


The old cathedral lights are low
She and I we'd often go there
To admire and sometimes kneel in prayer;
Lords and ladies lie in stone,
Hand in hand from long ago,
And though their hands are cold
they'll love forever,
Even the choir rehearses those songs
For Christmas is not long,
And alone, I sing my song, she had to fly,
Take care, it's such a lonely sky,
They'll trap your wings my love
and hold your flight,
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky,
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky,
Fly away, fly to me, and if you need my love,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky...
I'll come in with the dawn,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky,
On the wings of the morn,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky,

Missing you... I've been missing you... missing you,
I've got the roses, I've got the wine,
With a little luck she will be here on time,
This is the place we used to go,
With romantic music and the lights down low,
And as you stand there amazed at the door,
And you're wondering what all this is for,
It's just a simple thing from me to you,
The lady that I adore, 'cos there's something,
That you should know, it's that

I've been missing you, more than words can say,
And that I've been thinking about it every day,
And the time we had just dancing nice and slow,
And I said now I've found you,
I'm never letting go;

There is no reason to the things that we do,
You can break a heart with just a word or two,
And take a lifetime to apologise,
When the one you love's in front of your eyes,
And I will fall to my knees like a fool,
If it's the only way of getting through,
You see if I think you are beautiful,
Someone else is going to feel it too,
So there's only one thing to do, tell you that

I've been missing you, more than words can say,
And that I've been thinking about it every day,
Well tonight's our night for dancing nice and slow,
Because now I've found you, I'm never letting go,
No, now I've found you, I'm never letting go;

I've been missing you... I've been missing you, darling,
I've been missing you... I've been missing you.

Missing you... I've been missing you...
Missing you... I've been missing you...
Missing you... I've been missing you...
Missing you... I've been missing you, darling...
Missing you... Missing you...
Missing you... Missing you...

Don't worry darling,
That's not forever in my eyes,
Just want to hold you for a while,
Nobody knows how it will go,
Spending this night together;

I can hardly believe it's true,
I can hardly believe it's you,
A celebration...

Turn it on and let it fly away,
And let's see what we can do,
Oh little darling, it's really something,
When it's me and when it's you;

I'm going to give you everything I have,
Until the night is through,
Did you ever believe in love?
Did you ever believe in love?

I've got a feeling,
I've got a feeling in my heart,
We'd be together from the start,
Something inside you just cannot hide,
Is waiting the time to show it;



I can hardly believe it's true,
I can hardly believe it's you,
A celebration...

Turn it on and let it fly away,
And let's see what we can do,
Oh little darling, ain't you something,
When it's me and when it's you;

I'm going to give you everything I have,
Until the night is through,
Did you ever believe in love?
Did you ever believe in love?
Well this is it!

Something inside you cannot hide,
Is waiting the time to show it;

And I can hardly believe it's true,
I can hardly believe it's you,
A celebration...

And this is it!

I left my home by the ocean,
I left my love by the sea,
Dreaming I could sing my songs in the city...

I thought the streets of London
Would be paved with gold,
But the only gold was in the setting sun,
And these city nights are so cold.

And you know that feeling when you've been too long,
And you wanna go home and it's so strong,

I'm going home, I'm going home,
Oh the leaves are falling and the wind is calling
And I must get on the road,
You'll be alone, you'll be alone,
But if you're crying to the rhythm of the falling rain,
It's alright, I'm on my way, I'm going home,
I'm going home, yea...

Jilly she's got a smile in her eye,
And a bed just right for two,
Silly how much I love her, but I do,

Sunny days will be here again,
She whispered in my ear,
Oh Lord it's funny how much I've missed the country rain,
That's a sound I love to hear...

And I know that feeling and I've been too long,
And I wanna go home and it's so strong,

I'm going home, I'm going home,
Oh the leaves are falling and the wind is calling
And I must get on the road,
You'll be alone, you'll be alone,
But if you're crying to the rhythm of the falling rain,
It's alright, I'm on the way, I'm going home,
I'm going home, yea...
Oh hold on darling, I'm going home,
I'm on the way, I'm going home,
I'm going home, Hold on darling...

Took a boat over Lake Geneva,
It was raining all night long,
We were lucky and we saw no enemy,
And came from Switzerland, poor refugees,
Far from the guns of war,
We said godbye to it all.

They brought us in to a nurse's station,
Half a mile behind the lines.
Oh lord, how my heart was breaking,
To see the children, and the walking wounded,
Hoping for a ticket home,
And say goodbye to it all.

I woke up on a cold blue morning,
To see her there, standing right beside me,
Long years since I left her at the borderline,
And how she found me I'll never know,
But we decided there and then,
To say goodbye to it all.

To it all,
Say goodbye to it all,
Say goodbye to it all ...

Took a train from Paris to the ocean,
Found a small hotel by the coast,
As we walked along the beaches of Normandy,
We came to Juno, Omaha and Gold,
And whispered a prayer for the boys,
Who said goodbye to it all.

Now we've got our own place by the water,
And I have a job in the old hotel,
She's ready and she's hoping for a daughter,
Well I don't mind, we've made our choice,
We've got all the time in the world,
We said goodbye to it all,
We said goodbye to it all.

'Bye to it all,
Say goodbye to it all,
Say goodbye to it all,
Say goodbye to it all,
Say goodbye to it all,
Say goodbye,
Say goodbye ...

Restless heartit has been a long time
Out here on the journeyfor a glimpse of paradise
It's getting hard to find a place to go
Where peaceful waters flow
I took a walk past the old saxon well
Down by the cathedralI heard the chapel bell
And joined the people singing for a way to go
Where peaceful waters flow
And if you don't know by nowyou never will
Only love can find the door
If you could see it nowit's in your hands
Only love can reach the shoreto heaven
Alwaysshe is standing by my side
She's my inspirationand she's my battle-cry
And in her arms is the only place I know
Where peaceful waters flow
And if you don't know by nowyou never will
Only love can find the door
If you could see it nowit's in your hands
Only love can reach the shoreto heaven

I was looking at a photograph
Taken in a garden long before the war
And out on the lawn
There were old men and dogs and little children
All of them gone forever

And there were people by the waterside
Standing in the same place where I am today
Nothing has changed - but you know
That time is moving like a river
It can only be love forever

We shine onbrighter than the sun
Live for every momentbefore the moment's gone
We shine onyou and me tonight
Way across the universe
Burning like a fire in the night

There are those who can never cross
The space between a father and a son
When they are young
We must say all the words that should be spoken
Before they are lost forever

And I was looking at a photograph
Taken from a window way above the world
And we've got to learn
We must leave here a garden for our children
When we are gone forever

We shine onbrighter than the sun
Live for every momentbefore the moment's gone
We shine onyou and me tonight
Way across the universe
Burning like a fire in the night

Leave here a garden for the children
Leave here a new world
In the nightin the night
Burning like a fire in the night

In a country churchyard
there's a preacher with his people,
Gathered all around to join a man and woman,
Spring is here and turtledoves are singing
from the steeple,
Bees are in the flowers,
growing in the graveyard,
And over the hill,
where the river meets the mill,
A lovely girl is coming down,
To give her hand upon her wedding day...
Dressed in simple white
and wearing flowers in her hair,
Music as she walks slowly to the altar,
And picking up his bible then the preacher
turns towards her,
"Will you take this man
to be your wedded husband,
to honour and love in the eyes of God above,
Now let the people sing with me,
The words to live forever in your heart...
Let your love shine on,
For we are the stars in the sky,
Let your love shine strong,
Until the day you fly away"
Many years have fallen on that golden
country morning,
The graveyard's overgrown,
the church lies in ruins,
Ivy on the walls and ravens
wheeling round above me,
As I made my way towards
the last remaining headstone,
I fell to my knees,
read the lines beneath the leaves,
And suddenly it seemed to me,
I heard the words like singing in the trees...
Let your love shine on,
For we are the stars in the sky,
Let your love shine strong,
Until the day you fly...
Let your love shine on,
For we are the stars in the sky,
Let your love shine strong,
Until the day you fly, fly away...

I'm standing in the station,
I am waiting for a train,
To take me to the border,
And my loved one far away,
I watched a bunch of soldiers heading for the war,
I could hardly even bear to see them go;

Rolling through the countryside,
Tears are in my eyes,
We're coming to the borderline,
I'm ready with my lies,
And in the early morning rain, I see her there,
And I know I'll have to say goodbye again;

And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do,
I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you,
I'm taking my side, one of us will lose,
Don't let go, I want to know,
That you will wait for me until the day,
There's no borderline, no borderline;

Walking past the border guards,
Reaching for her hand,
Showing no emotion,
I want to break into a run,
But these are only boys, and I will never know,
How men can see the wisdom in a war...

And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do,
I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you,
I'm taking my side, one of us will lose,
Don't let go, I want to know,
That you will wait for me until the day,
There's no borderline, no borderline,
No borderline, no borderline...

Dennis is a menace
With his "Anyone for tennis?"
And he'd beseech me to come keep the score
And Maude said,
Oh Lord, I'm so terribly bored
I really can't stand it anymore...
I'm going...out to dinner,
With a gorgeous singer,
To a little place I know,
Down by the key.
Her name is Patricia,
She calls herself delicia
And the reason isn't
Very hard to see.
She said, God made her a sinner
Just to keep those fat men, thinner
As they tumble down in heaps
Before her feet.
They hang around in groups
Like battle weary troops,
One can often see the
Queue right down the street.
Because Patricia
Or Delicia
Not only is a singer
She also removes all her clothing
For Patricia,
Is the best stripper in town...
And with a swing of her hips,
She started to strip
To tremendous applause
She took of her draws
And with a lick of her lips
She undid all her clips,
Threw it all in the air
And everyone stared
And as the last piece of clothing
Fell to the floor,
The police were banging on the door
On a Saturday night,
In 1924
Take it away boys...


Well, Patricia was arrested
And everyone detested,
The terrible manner in which
she was exposed
Later on in court
where everyone thought
A summer's run in jail
would be proposed..
But the judge said, "Patricia,
Or may I say Delicia,
The facts of this case lie before me
Case dismissed...
This girl was in her working clothes...
And with a swing of her hips,
She started to strip
To tremendous applause
She took of her draws
And with a lick of her lips
She undid all her clips,
Threw it all in the air
And everyone stared
And as the last piece of clothing
Fell to the floor,
The police were yelling out for more more
On a Saturday night
In 1924
On a Saturday night
In 1924

Come to my door, meet me at midnight,
I can't wait anymore, and after midnight
We must head for the town,
Keep under cover till dawn
With a bagful of wine;
The night is alive, look in the shadows,
Because now is the time, out in the shadows,
To be somebody else, a complete transformation
From the someone we are in the day;
I hear a noise - there is something going on;
I hear a voice - there is something going on;
I see the boys - there is something going on;
And something is happening to me, yea;
I love the night, i love the night,
I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight,
I love the night, i love the night,
I love to dance with a stranger and feel her delight,
And when the dancing is through, i kick off my shoes,
And i listen to the beating of my heart...
After the fall, then came the hunger
In the hearts of us all, ooh such a hunger
That begins after dark, hides in the heart
Like a wolf that is waiting inside;
I see a light - there is something going on;
It's getting bright - there is something going on;
I look outside - there is something going on;
And someone is calling to me;
I love the night, i love the night,
I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight,
I love the night, i love the night,
I love to be with a stranger and feel her delight,
And when the morning begins, i have to get in
Before sunlight can fall upon my face;
I love the night, i love the night,
I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight,
I love the night, i love the night,

A spaceman came travelling
on his ship from afar,
twas light years of time
since his mission did start,
And over a village he halted his craft,
And it hung in the sky like a star,
just like a star...
He followed light and came down to a share,
Where a mother and a child were lying
there on a bed,
A bright light of silver shone round his head,
And he had the face of an angle,
and they were afraid...
Then the stranger spoke, he said 'do not fear,
I come from a planet a long way from here,
And i bring a message for mankind to hear',
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air
And it went la, la~~
Peace and goodwill to all men,
and love for the child...
la la la la~~
This lovely music went trembling
through the ground,
And many were wakened
on hearing that sound,
And travellers on the road,
the village they found,
By the light of that ship in the sky,
which shone all round...
And just before dawn at the paving of the sky,
The stranger returned
and said 'now i must fly,
When two thousand years
of your time has gone by,
This song will begin once again,
to a baby's cry...'
And it went la la~~
this song will begin once again
To a baby's cry...
And it goes la la~~
peace and goodwill to all men
And love for the child...
Oh the whole world is waiting,
waiting to hear that song again,
There are thousands standing
on the edge of the world,
And a star is moving somewhere,
the time is nearly here,
This song will begin once again,
to a baby's cry...
