Anthony Phillips

Say no word
She watched as she waited
By the iron gate
Veiled in black brocade
Tom was all alone
She spoke soft but breathless,
He took the half-a-crown
And thought how strange

Long ago, she knew a man
Who sailed the seas
And gave her a daughter
Through the vanished years
Fate bestowed a lady's seat
She honoured it with grace
Hid the past and with it me

And now, she is everything to me
Though I was denied her tenderness
Years spent in gloom
I cried in my room
I believed I'd been quite deserted
But now that I find
She gave everything to me
Until it became quite impossible
Scorn upon scandal
Helpless to handle
She's bitterly breaking now
Why is my dream disturbed?

Cold cut the wind
We pitched as we tossed
From cobblestone to track
Along the old canal
Fierce came the frost
The stone changed to pasture
Could anyone survive?
Has anybody seen?

Long ago a fox found out,
They laid the captain dead at his masthead
Searching everywhere,
Questioning the wind and trees
I beat the empty air,
Knowing it has seen her face
And now, I'd give everything to know
Why my flesh and blood must suffer so
Turning and tossing
From river to crossing
Causing great confusion
If only she knew she was everything to me,
Alone now, somewhere, she's imploring me
Oh, please forgive me
I've been so thoughtless
She's bitterly breaking now

For, she is everything to me
Though I denied her tenderness
Years spent in gloom
I cried in my room
I believed I'd been quite deserted
But now that I find
She gave everything to me
Until it became quite impossible
Scorn upon scandal
Helpless to handle
I pray we are not too late...

Bleak rose the towers
The rain lashed the horses
We found the gate ajar
Her cloak lay in a heap
The captain's furled his sails
It comes as no surprise
She's no longer here.

They saw the flags, it didn't look so bad
they heard the news and how we could not lose
And they sang with the marching band
The sailors' wives with anxious eyes
But it impressed them too
They even cheered up as the ships pulled clear
And though it was no-one's fault
That men went off to war
I saw a thousand faces all along the shore...
The women were watching
So no-one thought of turning back
He didn't fight for his country's pride
His life was sold cos it was better than the dole
He even waved as they sent him away
But something's changed - no this is not a game
She held his hand and it was cold and damp
She couldn't hide from the feelings inside
Cos in the storm the night before
She heard him calling... goodbye goodbye goodbye
Won't you give me a smile
I could be gone for a long long while
And though it was no-one's fault
That he had to go to war
Among a thousand faces all along the shore
A woman was watching
He never thought of turning back

"All the World's a stage,"
A friend of mine, he sometimes said,
And though he tried to show the way,
They only care about his name.

"Love is for the Fool,"
A blind old man, he always said,
But of it's joys he sometimes spoke
And then it seemed, he could see.

"Life is for the Strong,"
A travelling monk, he told me once
But of the weak, he never spoke
Though their cries beat on his ears.

I stood my gun in hand
The swallow flew to meet his love
And as they touched, I shot him down
But now it's me that can't fly.

"Rest your head my love;
Rest your tired limbs;
Leave your mind at peace, at peace, at peace,
What are you thinking now?"

"Thinking of a girl
As golden as the sun
She loved me not like you, like you, like you"
"Pray do you love me more?"

"It's hard to say for sure,
A child, sixteen, was I
Both virgins did we buy, we buy, we buy"
"You loved her more than me".

"She left me one dark night
She took my heart for free
I've seen her not since then, since then, since then,
God if I saw her now."

See, the days grown long
Winter comes upon us
Like a storm at sea.
And the will to live
Seems a little thin sometimes
When those you love are
Lost beneath the snowfall.

"Give and you will live",
Said a man who lived
In a funny way.
So we share our cup
With the thirsty fawn of life
Who leaves us on the
Highway without water.

Master of Time, take me back through the years.
Master of Time, let me try once again
And I will give more, oh how I'll try,
And with this, a new life I'll buy.

Hush! The marsh-duck cries,
Far away, she knows
That her love will be,
And she nestles down,
Sobbing still, she dries her eyes,
Knowing that the world
Will cry the rest out.

Where did beauty go?
Seek it here, there
But it's slipped away.
And when they come to lay me down,
I will take your memory too,
They'll know that in my final hour,
I loved you.

Master of Time, take me back through the years.
Master of Time, let me try once again
And I will give more, oh how I'll try,
And with this, a new life I'll buy.

Look, see how the world goes round,
Look, see how the day goes on,
You, it won't stop to help you
Me, it won't stop to help me.
All the time a wind is blowing
Where it's blowing next we don't know...

Look, some spend their days in slumber,
Look, someone is weary toiling,
Home, be my guest and come back home.
Come, you'll be better off at home.
All the time someone is dying,
Where he's dying next we don't know...

I sit in the sunset
Watching God's evening,
Receding so gently now
Into the Westlands.
I think I'm at peace now
But of nothing am I certain
Only which way will the wind blow next time?

You, you might never have been saved
Ah, well you might not have been so brave,
Time would have shown the parting waves
And you slipping under Autumn's gaze
And now I know that nothing is what it ever seems.

I sit in the sunset
Watching God's evening,
Receding so gently now
Into the Westlands.
I think I'm at peace now
But of nothing am I certain
Only which way will the wind blow next time?

Seven long years have gone by,
Scattered on the wind,
Fortunes made and squandered,
Ardour's beacon growing dim.

Seven long years have now past
Neither glimpse nor word
Of the jewel that vanished
Though the case lay undisturbed.

Seven long years have I spent
Trying to forget,
But no man can banish
Heaven he has sought and met.

Through the trials and the tears
Still I cannot learn,
Ever hopeless dreaming
Perhaps some day you will return.

Dear Friend,
When you are gone,
There'll always be this song
To remind you of where you once belonged.
Though for you fly way, your face will bless the day.
Safe road through stormy weather, let me hear you say:

The sun will shine again.
New dawns will rise again.
And we'll be together, till the end.

Oh baby, what am I supposed to do?
Oh baby, when times get rough,
The going's hard,
I'll still be here for you.

The sun will shine again.
New dawns will rise again.
And we'll be together, till the end.

Now that you don't know me,
Is it gone forever, past?
Now my rock has crumbled
In the stormy winter blast.
Now the world is darkening
As I watch the farewell train,
Though once she spoke within me ?
Strange, may never see you again.

Now the wind is asking:
How a rock so firm can fall.
Then the breeze he murmurs:
She rose not to save death's call.
Now the leaves are rustling,
Do I hear them speak a name
That waits round every corner ?
Strange, may never see you again.

Little girl, lilting lilac,
Autumn Queen, by this quiet brook,
Once you lay, breathing softly ?
Now I watch the ashes burn,
A stranger who may not return
Rose with the dawn,
Sailed on the morning tide.
Take this, shining acorn,
Treasure it, through joy and sorrow
When you're old, tired and lonely,
Open it ? a voice will sigh,
A memory that went drifting by
Upon the tide that swept you from my side.

Now the bells are calling,
I must tread the homeward track.
Leave the whispering ripples
For the next part I must act.
Though I gave the whole world,
She remembers not my name.
That star beneath the bright lights ?
Strange may never see you again.

See my hand is moving
Touching all that's real
And once it stroked love's body
Now it claws the past.

The scent of a flower,
The colours of the morning,
Friends to believe in,
Tears soon forgotten,
See how the rain drives away, another day.

If a leaf has fallen
Does the tree lie broken?
And if we draw some water
Does the well run dry?

The sigh of a mother,
The screaming of lovers,
Like two angry tigers,
They tear at each other,
See how for him lifetime's fears disappear.

Once Jesus suffered,
Heaven could not see him.
And now my ship is sinking,
The captain stands alone.

A pawn on the chessboard,
A false move by God will now destroy me,
But wait, on the horizon,
A new dawn seems to be rising,
Never to recall his passerby, born to die.

Looking For Someone


Looking for someone I guess I'm doing that
Trying to find a memory in a dark room.
Dirty man, you're looking like a Buddha - I know you well.
Yeaah

Keep on a straight line. I don't believe I can,
Trying to find a needle in a haystack,
Chilly wind you're piercing like a dagger - it hurts me so.
Yeaah

Nobody needs to discover me - I'm back again
You see the sunlight through the trees, to keep you warm
in peaceful shades of green
Yet in the darkness of my mind
Damascus wasn't far behind.

Lost in a subway I guess I'm losing time
There's a man looking at a magazine
You're such a fool, your mumbojumbo never tells me anything.
Yeaah

Nobody needs to discover me - I'm back again
You feel the ashes from the fire that kept you warm
its comfort disappears
But still the only friend I know
Will never tell me where I go.
..

Looking for someone
And now I've found myself a name
Gone away - leave me - all that I have I will give
Leave me - leave me - all that I am I will give.

Stagnation


Here today the red sky tells his tale,
but the only listening eyes are mine
There is peace amongst the hills,
and the night will cover all my pride.
Blessed are they who smile from bodies free,
seems to me like any other crowd
who are waiting to be saved.
..

Wait, there is still time for washing in the pool,
wash away the past.
Moon, my long-lost friend is smiling from above,
smiling at my tears.
Come, we'll walk the path to take us to my home,
keep outside the night.
The ice-cold knife has come to decorate the dead, somehow.

And each will find a home,
And there will still be time,
for love in my friend
- You are there -
And will I wait for ever, beside the silent mirror
And fish for bitter minnows amongst the weeds and slimy water..

I.. said I want to sit down.
I id I want to sit down.
I want a drink. - I want a drink,
To take all the dust and the dirt from my throat.
I want a drink. - I want a drink.
To wash out the filth that is deep in my guts.
I want a drink.
THEN LET US DRINK - THEN LET US SMILE. -
THEN LET US G0.

Tell me my life is about to begin
Tell me that I am a hero
Promise me all your violent dreams
Light up your body in anger.
Now, in this ugly world
It is time to destroy this evil.
Now, when I give the word
Are you ready to fight for your freedom?
NOW

Stand up and fight, for you know we are right
We must strike at the lies
That have spread like disease through our minds.

Soon we'll have power, every soldier will rest
And we'll spread out of kindness
To all who our love now deserve.
Some of you are going to die
Martyrs of course to the freedom that I shall provide.

I'll give you the names of those you must kill,
All must die with their children.
Carry their heads to the palace of old,
Hang them on stakes let the blood flow.
Now, in this hate-filled world
We must break all the chains that have bound us.
Now, the crusade has begun
We shall make this a land fit for heroes.
NOW

Stand up and fight, for you know we are right
We must strike at the lies
That have spread like disease through our minds.

Soon we'll have power, every soldier will rest
And we'll spread out of kindness
To all who our love now deserve.
Some of you are going to die
Martyrs of course to the freedom that I shall provide.

We are only wanting freedom.

WE HAVE WON

Some of you are going to die,
Martyrs of course to the freedom I shall provide.

Visions Of Angels


Standing in a forest gazing at the son
looking at the trees but there's not even one
See a rippling stream that smiles and then goes by
run to feel its comfort but the water's dry.

I see her face and run to take her hand
Why she's never there I just don't understand
The trumpets sound my whole world crumbles down

Visions of angels all around
dance in the sky
Leaving me here
forever goodbye.

As the leaves will crumble so will fall my love
for the fragile beauty of our lives must fade
Though I once remember echoes of my youth
now I sense no past, no love that ends in love

Take this dream the stars have filled with light
As the blossom glides like snowflakes from the trees
In vengeance to a god no-one can reach.

Visions of angels all around
dance in the sky
Leaving me here
forever goodbye.
..

Ice is moving and the world's begun to freeze
see the sunlight stopped and deadened by the breeze
Minds are empty bodies move insensitive
some believe that when they die they really live

I believe there never is on end
God gave up this world its people long ago
Why she's never there I still don't understand

Visions of angels all around
dance in the sky
Leaving me here
forever goodbye. etc.

White Mountain


Thin hung the web like a trap in a cage,
The fox lay asleep in his lair.
Fangs frantic paws told the tale of his sin.
Far off the chase shrieked revenge.

Outcast he trespassed where no wolf may tread,
The last sacred haunt of the dead.
He learnt of a truth which only one wolf may know,
The sceptre and crown of the king,
Howling for blood, One-eye leads on the pack,
Plunging through forests and snow-storms.
..

Steep rose the ridge, ghostly peaks climbed the sky,
Fang sped through jungles of ice.
Hard on his rail, One-eye drew from the pack
An old hero conquered by none.

Steep, far too steep, grew the pathway ahead
Descent was the only escape
A wolf never flees in the face of his foe
Fang knew the price he would pay
One-eye stood before him
With the crown upon his head
Sceptre raised to deal the deadly blow.
..

Fang, Son of Great Fang, the Traitor we seek,
The laws of the Brethren say this:
That only the King sees the Crown of the Gods
And he, the Usurper must die

Snarling he tore at the throat of his foe
But Fang fought the hero in vain
Dawn saw the white mountain tinted with red
Never would the crown leave again
One-eye hid the crown and with laurels on his head
Returned amongst the tribe and dwelt in peace.

And I've nearly found a place to call my own,
Waking gently feel her presence near
Devil shattered, warmth is everywhere.

I am only a child of hers, my guardian goddess.
Now I'm reaching my journey's end inside her womb,
And I think I've found a place to call my own.

The winter's bitterness is lost
It's the fireside warmth that comforts me
The peace for all my thoughts

The night brings shadows to the street
It's the time for dreams of things to come
To creep inside their lives

You're concealing every feeling
Can you find me, deep inside you
Let me touch you, let me keep you
Let me know you're there

You're concealing every feeling
Can you find me, no
Yes deep inside you're a part of me
Every day I need to know I'm there, I'm there, I'm there

The evening fantasy begins
In the sandy lanes that cross the fields
The gentle rain will fall

The morning sweeps away the night
And the dreams of you still haunt my thoughts
Bring meaning to my life

You're concealing every feeling
Can you find me, deep inside you
Let me touch you, let me keep you
Let me know you're there

You're concealing every feeling
Can you find me, no
Yes deep inside you're a part of me
Every day I need to know I'm there, I'm there, I'm there

Can you hold me with your small hand
Prepare much, length and beauty of our tiny lives
Future's brighter now
Our world is everything to me, to know, I'm there
Lord! You see the world is brighter than the sky
The sky is shining everywhere in our world
You know you never said in your many times, all in me instead

The winter's bitterness is lost
It's the fireside warmth that comforts me
The peace for all my thoughts

The night brings shadows to the street
It's the time for dreams of things to come
To creep inside their lives

You're concealing every feeling
Can you find me, deep inside you
Let me touch you, let me keep you
Let me know you're there

You're concealing every feeling
Can you find me, no
Yes deep inside you're a part of me
Every day I need to know I'm there, I'm there, I'm there

The evening fantasy begins
In the sandy lanes that cross the fields
The gentle rain will fall

The morning sweeps away the night
And the dreams of you still haunt my thoughts
Bring meaning to my life

You're concealing every feeling
Can you find me, deep inside you
Let me touch you, let me keep you
Let me know you're there

You're concealing every feeling
Can you find me, no
Yes deep inside you're a part of me
Every day I need to know I'm there, I'm there, I'm there

Can you hold me with your small hand
Prepare much, length and beauty of our tiny lives
Future's brighter now
Our world is everything to me, to know, I'm there
Lord! You see the world is brighter than the sky
The sky is shining everywhere in our world
You know you never said in your many times, all in me instead

Am I very wrong,
To hide behind the glare of an open minded
Stare,
Am I very wrong,
To wander in the fear of a never ending lie.

Am I very wrong,
To try to close my ears to the sound they play
So loud
Am I very wrong,
The happiness machine is trying hard to sing
My song.

Today's your birthday friend
Everything all right, let us our greetings to you
Send,
Happy friend,
Everything all right,
We hope your life will never end.

Am I very wrong,
To want to steal a pin then I'll check that I have
Skin,
Am I very wrong,
To want to leave my friends and the curse of
The happiness machine.

Today's your birthday friend,
Everything all right. Let us our greetings to you
Send,
Happy friend,
Everything all right,
We hope your life will never end.

As daybreak breaks the mist upon the earth,
It came to pass that beauty settled there
Forever more,
And as the steam clings close to things to come,
It came to pass that solid rock did part for humble life.

Once upon a time there was confusion,
Disappointment, fear and disillusion,
Now there's hope reborn with every morning,
See the future clearly at its dawning.
Forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptyness,
As water slips into the sea
The father's sad to see it free.

As shadows creep towards their master night,
It came to pass that trees defied the wind who
Shook their leaves,
And as the peace descended all around,
It came to pass that nature's creatures came to
Face the world.

Once upon a time there was confusion,
Disappointment, fear and disillusion,
Now there's hope reborn with every morning,
See the future clearly at its dawning.
Forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptyness,
As water slips into the sea
The father's sad to see it free.

Once upon a time there was confusion,
Disappointment, fear and disillusion,
Now there's hope reborn with every morning,
See the future clearly at its dawning.

People moving about the town upside down, you know why
Little bits of coloured glass in the sky
Children pushing mummy down to the park in a pram
Look out ? the pavement's changing to jam

See them running
Now where are they going to
To follow them, leads you nowhere
Shout to them quickly but no one can hear you
All they can do is to stare

Your bowler hats are turning green
Your city suits are coloured cream
You, you changed my life
You made it misery, sadness reins alone
Wonder why you do this to me
When I've tried so hard for you

People talking to the man who's digging a hole in his mind
He's no need to worry, he's deaf and blind
See the dustman doing his round in a Rolls made of glass
He's gained everything because he's got class

Friends are leaving me when I did everything
Just as they used to behave
Trying to copy them, losing my real self
Floating away in a cloud

Your bowler hats are turning green
Your city suits are coloured cream
You, you changed my life
You made it misery, sadness reins alone

Pick me up, put me down,
Push me in, turn me round,
Switch me on, let me go.
I have a mind of my own.

In hiding,
Far from the city of night
And the factories of truth,

I stand upon the mountain,
A million miles from my home,
And the faces of fear,
I have freedom to think.

In hiding,
I may take off my clothes
That I wear on my face,

I float upon a river
A million miles from the plains,
That are piercing the clouds,
I am lost in the beauty, in hiding.

Pick me up, put me down,
Push me in, turn me round,
Switch me on, let me go.
I have a mind of my own.
I'm wishing you were here


In hiding,
I lie silent at last,
I am free from my past.

I walk among the tall trees
This is beauty I know
I am in love with it all.
I have freedom to love
In hiding.

Pick me up, put me down,
Push me in, turn me round,
Switch me on, let me go.
I have a mind of my own.

Please take me away
Far from this place,
Leaving me here

Take me away
To the furthest star in the sky.
Take me away
To the deepest cave of the night.
Take me away, voices of love, here am I
In the sad sad world of fear
Take me away
From the power of my ambition
And I'll be happy.

I - I've conquered time.
Where will I go? - am I still mine?
- Take me away.

Take me away
To the furthest star in the sky.
Take me away
To the deepest cave of the night.
Take me away, voices of love, here am I
In the sad sad world of fear
Take me away
From the power of my ambition
And I'll be happy.

Peace, floating in limbo.
Limbo, leading me nowhere.
Peace, now without motion,
I cry, when will I die?

God, where is my soul now
My lord, please set me free.

Ocean of motion,
Squirming around and up and down
Pushing together,
Scattering mountains all around,
That is a sound of a new born world,
And a light from a curious sky
It has begun,
You're in the hands of destiny.

Thrashing with violence,
Hurling its lava up and down,
Furnace of frenzy.
Burning with power uncontrolled.
That is the sound of a new born world,
And the light from a curious sky
It has begun,
You're in the hands of destiny.

Is that the chariot with stallions gold,
Is that the prince of heaven on the ground,
Is that the roar of a thunderflash,
This is my world and it's waiting to be crowned,
Father, son, look down with happiness,
Life is on its way.

Leaving all the world to play,
They disappear.
And the leaves have gathered dust to run like
deer.
Tearing pieces from our lives to feed the dawn
Mist surrounds the seagulls, christened by the
Storm.

Music, all I hear is music
Guaranteed to please
And I look for something else
Rain drops pouring down the rooftops
Flowing in the drains
As the people run their lives
As their lives are run by time.

Fighting enemies with weapons made to kill
Death is easy as a substitute for pride
Victors join together, happy in their bed
Leaving cold outside the children of the dead.

Don't get me wrong,
I think I'm in love,
But the feeling in the word is more.
Than your crystal eyes will ever see in me.

Don't get me wrong,
Open your eyes,
Although I cannot show my heart,
I'll watch and hope,
While you are near to me.

One day I'll capture you
And call you to my side.
One day I'll take you from
The boredom of our lives.
One day we'll fly away
To the kingdom of my dreams.
One day I'll find myself
And wrap it in my love for you.

Birds of the sky
May I borrow your wings.
Very soon I'll ask my love,
To travel with me to the world outside.

Cherry trees, may I borrow your bloom,
Very soon I'll ask my love
To come inside the nest I'll build alone.

One day I'll capture you
And call you to my side.
One day I'll take you from
The boredom of our lives.
One day we'll fly away
To the kingdom of my dreams.
One day I'll find myself
And wrap it in my love for you.

Animal friends,
Help me decide,
When I should ask my love to leave,
I'll beg of you that she'll say yes to me,

Breathe in deep,
Now is the time,
She looks at me and gently smiles
As if she knew
I'd ask her all the time.

One day I'll capture you
And call you to my side.
One day I'll take you from
The boredom of our lives.
One day we'll fly away
To the kingdom of my dreams.
One day I'll find myself
And wrap it in my love for you

Don't get me wrong,
I think I'm in love,
But the feeling in the word is more.
Than your crystal eyes will ever see in me.

Don't get me wrong,
Open your eyes,
Although I cannot show my heart,
I'll watch and hope,
While you are near to me.

One day I'll capture you
And call you to my side.
One day I'll take you from
The boredom of our lives.
One day we'll fly away
To the kingdom of my dreams.
One day I'll find myself
And wrap it in my love for you.

Birds of the sky
May I borrow your wings.
Very soon I'll ask my love,
To travel with me to the world outside.

Cherry trees, may I borrow your bloom,
Very soon I'll ask my love
To come inside the nest I'll build alone.

One day I'll capture you
And call you to my side.
One day I'll take you from
The boredom of our lives.
One day we'll fly away
To the kingdom of my dreams.
One day I'll find myself
And wrap it in my love for you.

Animal friends,
Help me decide,
When I should ask my love to leave,
I'll beg of you that she'll say yes to me,

Breathe in deep,
Now is the time,
She looks at me and gently smiles
As if she knew
I'd ask her all the time.

One day I'll capture you
And call you to my side.
One day I'll take you from
The boredom of our lives.
One day we'll fly away
To the kingdom of my dreams.
One day I'll find myself
And wrap it in my love for you

Mister, you've been caught at last
Chasing dogs and moonlight
(This man committed a sin
this man, he never can win)

Mister, you've got one more chance
If you catch the hound when the sun shines
(This man committed a sin This man, he
never can win)

And its all gone wrong
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound
And it's all been tried before
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound

Have you seen the one-eyed hound
Tell me where he is going
(This man committed a sin This man, he
never can win)

Every place that I have been
No one else has seen him
(This man committed a sin This man, he
never can win)

And its all gone wrong
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed Hound
And it's all been tried before
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed Hound

Everybody's telling me exactly where to go
(This man committed a sin This man, he
never can win)
People call or people talk
But they don't reach agreement
(This man committed a sin This man, he
never can win)

And its all gone wrong
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed Hound
And it's all been tried before
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed Hound

Mister you've been caught at last
Chasing dogs in the moonlight
This man committed a sin
This man he never can win
Mister you've got one more chance
If you catch the hound when the sun shines
This man committed a sin
This man he never can win

And it's all gone wrong
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound
And it's all been tried before
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound

Have you seen the one-eyed hound?
Tell me where he's going
This man committed a sin
This man he never can win
Every place that I have been
No-one else has seen him
This man committed a sin
This man he never can win

Cool as ice yet brittle as glass
A nervous wreck with a sweet facade
You're breaking up
You're breaking up now baby
You're breaking up your life
Into little pieces
Baby

Vanity arrived with fame
How she loved to see her name
She is beautiful, very beautiful, look at her
And she's a model

Hey girl I love you but you won't listen
To what I'm trying to say
Things won't work out as you plan them now
Don't throw your love away
Give it up, baby
Honey give it up and come back to me

You know you just enable some
To get more money
For them you're just a product
For me you're the one I love
Baby

Don't take my love away from my arms, no no
I need her near me every single day
Please don't take her away
I need my love
[fade out]

The silent sun that never shines,
She is the warmth of my lonely heart,
The motion of a turning wheel,
Can't you stop it and look around.

Baby, you feel so close,
I wish you could see my love,
Baby, you've changed my life,
I'm trying to show you.

A tiny stone that hides from me
Can't you see that I'm just outside,
A mountain stream that chills the sea,
Can't you feel in your useless pride.

Baby, you feel so close,
I wish you could see my love,
Baby, you've changed my life,
I'm trying to show you.

When night reveals a star-filled sky,
I want to hold it in my hands,
When snowflakes heal the ugly ground,
Your beauty hides the joy I've found.

Every morning when the people are out
And I'm free to move around on my own
I look into the sun and I see a reflection
Of a sad and lonely shrivelled man
That's me, that's me
And I know it's how I'm always gonna be

Nothing to do, nothing to say
Nothing to hope, and nothing to pray

I can see, I can feel
I've forgotten what I'm meant to be
Won't come back, not if I try

They told me things about me that I didn't know
But I could tell they've told me lies
And it really goes to show
That everyone was wrong
And they don't understand my ways
But it's not me that's going wrong, it's them

I can see, I can feel
I've forgotten what I'm meant to be
Won't come back, not if I try

They told me things about me that I didn't know

That's me, that's me
And I know it's how I'm always gonna be

That's me, that's me
And I know it's how I'm always gonna be

Shrivelled old man
Who hides from a world
He's never seen the light
That can set him free
His vicious life
Is such a shame
I wanna find out who's to blame

And that's me, oh that's me, aaoh
Set me free

Every morning when the people are out

He climbs inside the looking glass
And points at everything he hates,
He calls to you hey look out son,
That's a gun they're pointing at your pretty
Face.

And the heads they are a rolling,
For the conqueror is on his way,
And the justice day is coming,
For the conqueror is on his way,

Five hundred little women are calling
At their hero's door,
Yes their hero's working overtime,
He's squirming on an empty floor.

And the heads they are a rolling,
For the conqueror is on his way,
And the justice day is coming,
For the conqueror is on his way,

He's bought the castle on the hill
He's bought it just to knock it down,
The local power shout him down,
They say he's just an empty headed clown.

And the heads they are a rolling,
For the conqueror is on his way,
And the justice day is coming,
For the conqueror is on his way,

He's busy building monuments,
To hide inside his empty grave,
You there can you find some souls
He's looking for some people to save.

And the heads they are a rolling,
For the conqueror is on his way,
And the justice day is coming,
For the conqueror is on his way,

And the words of love are killing him,
And the conqueror is on his way
The words of love were lying on an empty floor,
Just in the place where the conqueror lay.

Dark nights the planets are set
Creator prepares for the dawn of man
You're waking up, the day of incarnation,
Said you're waking up to life

Images he made to love
Images of god in flesh,
Man is wonderful, very wonderful, look at him
Beware the future.

Here is my world and it's waiting for me,
Paradise before my eyes,
I am alive in a new born world,
This heaven will always be mine
I'm waking up, the day of man has come,
I'm waking up, the day of man has come.

And god created man from dust, with a soul
Inside his mould,
And god created womankind,
The vessel of satan's hold.

Creator made the serpent wise
Evil in his tempting eyes,
Man is wonderful, very wonderful, look at him,
beware the future.

Here is my world and it's waiting for me,
Paradise before my eyes,
I am alive in a new born world,
This heaven will always be mine
I'm waking up, the day of man has come,
I'm waking up, the day of man has come.

Dark nights the planets are set
Creator prepares for the dawn of man
You're waking up, the day of incarnation,
Said you're waking up to life

Here I stand child in a lonely world,
Watch the serpent tempting me to evil
The guiding hand will help me on.
The guiding hand will help me on.

If you see another staring straight at you
Take his life and change it ? that's what you always do
You're still in the days of childhood
Where everything is wrong and no good
I can see what you're trying
What you're trying to be
Let me tell you now

Try a little sadness baby
Try a little sadness baby
Try a little sadness
Or you love will never be found

[Push a pink Dalmatian???] out into the street
So you laugh, but cry when it comes to bite your feet
You say it's fun to live
Where there's always take and no give
Don't you see that where you're living
There's a world of sin?

Try a little sadness baby
Try a little sadness baby
Try a little sadness
Or you love will never be found

You always hide your loving
Before it's gone and too late
Things are changing, you're remaining
Leave it and come with me
Let me tell you now

Try a little sadness baby
Try a little sadness baby
Try a little sadness
Or you love will never be found

Try a little sadness baby
Try a little sadness baby
Try a little sadness baby
Try a little sadness baby

Slowly eyes trench at my arms freely
Shadows of night disappear.
Rise from the slough of despond, find the pathway,
Guiding us forward through pastures of
Dream day,

Days to enjoy, peace I knew once before me,
Dawning to dusk on the hills until morning

Come see me take my hand,
Come see me in my land.

Flying invisibly high, watch me.
All on a beautiful sky, I'll be
Clear and serene in the love I've discovered.
Long search is over, the soul is uncovered,

Resting on joy that abounds without ceasing,
Bidding farewell to the fears now decreasing.

Come see me take my hand,
Come see me in my land.

High upon the golden crested wave she sits,
The little nymphs dance in her hair,
The trees all becon to the sky to bless their
Empty lives,
Horizons come to sip wine there,

The veiled mist reveals the wandering ship upon the reef,
The albatross flies to the stern,
And only jack frost saw the kiss you gave him
In return

Crossing the mountains of truth see them,
Soaring majestically high, and then,
Stop at the warning light, see it flash brightly,
Thunder awakes me, it crashes beside me

Shatter the scene and bring chaos to beauty
Leading me forward where destiny may be.

Come see me take my hand,
View from another land.

The winter's bitterness is lost
It's the fireside warmth that comforts me
The peace for all my thoughts

The night brings shadows to the street
It's the time for dreams of things to come
To creep inside their lives

You're concealing every feeling
Can you find me, deep inside you
Let me touch you, let me keep you
Let me know you're there

You're concealing every feeling
Can you find me, no
Yes deep inside you're a part of me
Every day I need to know I'm there, I'm there, I'm there

The evening fantasy begins
In the sandy lanes that cross the fields
The gentle rain will fall

The morning sweeps away the night
And the dreams of you still haunt my thoughts
Bring meaning to my life

You're concealing every feeling
Can you find me, deep inside you
Let me touch you, let me keep you
Let me know you're there

You're concealing every feeling
Can you find me, no
Yes deep inside you're a part of me
Every day I need to know I'm there, I'm there, I'm there

Can you hold me with your small hand
Prepare much, length and beauty of our tiny lives
Future's brighter now
Our world is everything to me, to know, I'm there
Lord! You see the world is brighter than the sky
The sky is shining everywhere in our world
You know you never said in your many times, all in me instead

Mister, you've been caught at last
Chasing dogs and moonlight
(This man committed a sin
this man, he never can win)

Mister, you've got one more chance
If you catch the hound when the sun shines
(This man committed a sin This man, he
never can win)

And its all gone wrong
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound
And it's all been tried before
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound

Have you seen the one-eyed hound
Tell me where he is going
(This man committed a sin This man, he
never can win)

Every place that I have been
No one else has seen him
(This man committed a sin This man, he
never can win)

And its all gone wrong
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed Hound
And it's all been tried before
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed Hound

Everybody's telling me exactly where to go
(This man committed a sin This man, he
never can win)
People call or people talk
But they don't reach agreement
(This man committed a sin This man, he
never can win)

And its all gone wrong
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed Hound
And it's all been tried before
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed Hound
