It's a matter of time before we know If you follow the signs, let your feelings show Oh babe, you've got nothing to lose We can talk for a while and that's all right I can see in your eyes what you feel inside You don't know what you've been doing Leave me standing here We are on the edge of reality We've gone too far Not the way that it's meant to be It's a matter of time It's just a matter of time It's a matter of time before we say We got out of line looking for the way Oh babe, you've got something to hide You can stay for a while and that's all right I see in your smile what you feel tonight You don't know what you've been doing Leave us standing here We are on the edge of reality We've gone too far Not the way that it's meant to be It's a matter of time It's just a matter of time Are you really looking for someone Who'll turn you on And always be around you? Take another look and you will see That I will be waiting It's a matter of time It's a matter of time Oh babe, it's just a matter of time |

I'm hitting the road to heading nowhere
Got no place to go I'm stuck inside my generation Round and round I go. I'm sick of the sound of Rolling Thunder Times they were a-changing And Rock'n'Roll died with Easy Rider Tearing up my traces. David Bowie was Hunky Dory Aladdin quite insane Give the sound of Arthur Lee with Forever Changes, I'll remember And more again, don't leave me ever Buddy Holly said, "Baby, please be mine" All the time. I'm cutting out now before the New Wave Takes my surf board flair Remember the time when Zappa said "Punk, where you going with that Flower in your hair?" There's so many who's who's, Rolling Stones, Rod Stewards and Small Faces And Tommy's the King of Pinball flings That chases my generation. David Bowie was Hunky Dory Aladdin quite insane Give the sound of Arthur Lee with Forever Changes, I'll remember And more again, don't leave me ever Buddy Holly said, "Baby, please be mine" All the time. |

Driving down the road
Under the southern light Looking back to see Where we've come from As we watched the sun go down Rain it fell like diamonds From Kimberley mines On the road to Jo'burg With the dying light Farewal Durban City of Natal Stopped a while to stretch my thoughts As we crossed the borderline And into Transvaal I saw the sun go down Under the southern skies Over and over I'll always remember Those beautiful African nights In the old VW We'd count the miles We travelled with a friend Whose name was Farr The stories that he told us Talked of faces Times and places Sang and played his guitar Driving down the road We hear the morning rise Leaving all the past So far behind The sound man played the Eagles As we listen "Take It Easy" Echoes on through our lives I saw the sun go down Under the southern skies Over and over I'll always remember I still hear them call No matter how far Those beautiful African nights |

John's vision of armageddon literally closes the album with a bang! The references in the lyric to a stained-glass window ("one great wall of coloured parts") and "the multi-coloured cross left standing through it all" add to the apocalyptic feel of the song, which was a live favourite for many years, particularly in the days of the band's concerts with the orchestra.
Lyrics: The eyes of night march slowly by The last grain falls The kneeling man just sighs Protected by the one great wall Of coloured parts He probes his clouded mind If he takes a look around him Is there nothing left to see Is there nothing left at all After the day With trembling hands he wipes his eyes He tries to stand But does not feel the need The morning sun shines on The multicoloured cross Left standing through it all If he takes a look around him Is there nothing left to see Is there nothing left at all After the day If he takes a look around him Is there nothing left to see Is there nothing left at all After the day |

It's been a long long time
Thought you were a friend of mine Holding on the end of the line I've been waiting for you Seen the way the wind is blowing Look around and I don't know If the time is right or wrong I've been waiting so long All my life All my life All my life I've been waiting All my life All my life All my life I've been waiting for you Can't get away, can't get away Can't get away from your love I've been searching up and down Watching as the world goes round Just another boy in town I was looking for love See the way the rain is falling Black as night and I keep calling Your name out loud I walk on and on and on and on... All my life All my life All my life I've been waiting All my life All my life All my life I've been waiting for you All my life... |

Like the misty breath of a whisper On an ice-cold morn The cold in your face Like a dagger drawn Like a flashing blade In a killer blow We were never lovers And silently I froze within The gaze from your eyes That summer night In the dark of the night All alone in the night In the dark of the night, calling All alone in the night for your love All alone in the night I need you to hold me Timeless arrows carved through Broken hearts of stone Shadows moving slowly across the ground A cold reminder of the way Things used to be Now I feel the shadows Moving over me I searched in vain for love When true love I had found Like a blind man I could never see Those timeless arrows pierce my soul Now you're gone Ageless shadows closing in Won't let me be Only you set me free The cold in your eyes Like the misty breath of a whisper On an ice-cold morn You told me it was over And silently I froze within the gaze From your eyes That summer night In the dark of the night, calling All alone in the night, for your love In the dark of the night, crying All alone in the night for your love In the dark of the night, calling All alone in the night, for your love In the dark of the night, crying All alone in the night I need you to hold me... |

I've been so sad since you went away I've been so lost without you I wanted to be there I wanted to hold on and tell you How much, how much I loved you I never thought that this day would come Never dreamed we'd have to part And now that you're gone and there's only memories It's left such a hole, hole in my heart Whenever skies are cloudy and the raindrops fall I pray that you'll be waiting to catch me when I fall So many words that were left unsaid So many things still to share Amd through all the tears and all of the memories I hope that you know how much I cared If I could have you back I wouldn't waste a minute A lifetime wasn't long enough, I needed you for ever The love of a father, the friendship of a brother You took a piece of me with you and it will never be returned Until we meet again and things will be the same Whenever skies are cloudy and the raindrops fall I pray that you'll be waiting to catch me when I fall I've been so sad since you went away I've been so lost without you I wanted to be there I wanted to hold on and tell you How much, how much I loved you I never thought that this day would come Never dreamed we'd have to part And now that you're gone and there's only memories It's left such a hole, hole in my heart If I could have you back again I wouldn't waste a minute A lifetime wasn't long enough, I needed you for ever John Lees, BJH LtdHandle Music Ltd |

Is your soul worth saving? Back to the wall Can you pay the price Then your life is waiting Down by the shore We can help you no more Standing with our back to the wall Is your soul worth saving? Have you seen the light? Then your life is waiting Can you pay the price? Promises leave you with nothing to show Destiny leaves you with nowhere to go Back to the wall Have you seen the light?

On a cold starry night in the winter time Stood three old men by a mill pond in the moonlight And they spoke of their young men in the front line How they all wished them home for the Christmas time As they spoke from the east came a bright light And it sparkled like pure gold in their sad eyes And an angel came down on Denshaw Mill Spreading her light all around on the Darkside Are you blind can you not see Do you think that it's me who deceives? He promised to be there if you believe, to carry you home A hole as rotten as ever fouled the green earth Was this old mill in its day, spoke the angel Yet there's many a poor boy in foreign climes Who would think this old mill now a palace fine As she spoke from the mill there came laughter Came the warm sounds of their young men like a summer breeze And they rose in the night like fire bright Spreading their light all around on the Darkside Are you blind can you not see Do you think that it's me who deceives? He promised to be there if you believe, to carry you home No-one knows what became of the bonny lads Posted missing, lost in action in a far land Fools and heroes, gallant men, now side by side With the old men who believed they came home that night To the warmth of their homes at Christmas time To the peace of their homes at Christmas time |

Well my mama told me and I know she's right That the blackest day's when the nations fight Remember to pray when you go to bed For what mama said Bow your head For a brave new world Now I'm old and grey And life has passed my way My tears have all run dry I've seen men born to kill and born to die For a brave new world For a brave new world It's such an old, old world |

Brother Thrush, how you fly so high
Way up in the clouds The trees resound with open arms for one so rare Brother Man just can't compare When we're sitting on the banks of the sunshine We hear your song High above the living Brother gull, see him soar the sky He's so pleased to be Buoyant and triumphant on the raging sea Backing nature, feeling free Loving nature, rest your head Hear the message, man is dead See the cities fall While Brother Bird still... flies! Brother Lark, see him wake the day See him fly on by Above the streets now empty to his mournful cry Brother Man just heaves a sigh When we're sitting on the banks of the sunshine We hear your song High above the living Yes, we hear your song... |

Man of war Honour bright The long midnight In the hour before You lose your head The thief will paint The sunlight red Sunlight red Deep blue sea Witnessed by Flocks of ships As they sail by In a tower of strength The sabre frail Will take the brig And raise the sail Caged until tame Go-between is the name Scaring death to the strains of their crying Here lies the tale Of escapists who sail With assassins who kill for the morning Don't paint the sunlight It's virgin bright Don't paint the sunlight Wait 'til the morning light Capricorn Man of war Honour bright The long midnight In the hour before You lose your head The thief will paint The sunlight red Sunlight red Caged until tame Go-between is the name Scaring death to the strains of their crying Here lies the tale Of escapists who sail With assassins who kill for the morning Don't paint the sunlight It's virgin bright The long midnight In the hour before You lose your head The thief will pain The sunlight red |

Born in a cold war Opened up my eyes See the bombers riding Dark against the sky Fly like an eagle Carried on the wind See our hearts are broken So many lives are gone Waiting for this dream to end We're not alone We'll live on forever They echo the songs Of the partisans Don't be afraid We're heading for glory The fears of the past Bring tears of today Nothing's going to change Cold is the winter Chills you to the bone Praying for the silence Will the morning come? Out on the border Lost without a friend Searching for a reason The battle rages on Waiting for this dream to end We're not alone We'll live on forever They echo the songs Of the partisans Don't be afraid We're heading for glory The fears of the past Bring tears of today Nothing's going to change |

Running alone in the crazy city
Look at the face of once were pretty People then wonder what happened To make it that way Listen around you, have you heard? Climb on the back of a silver bird London to L.A. before you can think What to say Stop awhile, take a smile Know that you're living in today Up and down, look around No need to hide yourself away Out in the country's where I'm going Back where the tree of life's still growing Take a free ride where the tide Flows the way of your heart Follow the wild dove where he's flying Out where the sun is never crying Wait at the gate or they'll stop you And blow you apart Stop awhile, take a smile Know that you're living in today Up and down, look around No need to hide yourself away |

In the cold, in the dark, in the night air I call out for life but my heart feels despair There's no sign of a light in the cold dismal night The lights have all gone the clothes are all torn The people are gone but the victory's won I call out for life but it's after the day Now the people are gone just the city alone Eyes look from the second floor Down to the street below Calm now the wind is slow See posters once on the wall Now washed away in the rain Peeling from buildings tall I'll follow you friends to where life never ends Make our mistakes again as our life lines descend Time is like dust and the dust is like snow As it covers the ruins of the life that you know Trees once green now turned to stone Objects that look like ghosts All of them overgrown Mist all sight and mind is blurred Lie on your back and cry Words uttered never heard I look down the street but there's no one there In the cold, in the dark, in the night air I call out for life but my heart feels despair There's no sign of a light in the cold dismal night The lights have all gone the clothes are torn The people are gone but the victory's won I call out for life but it's after the day Now the people are gone just the city alone |

It's cold and the sun is white For I was born in The darkness before the light Of a new day A new way of living Of giving delight And if you pay Then you may be slipping Back into the night Then all knowing With words and with pen I write Of the growing Of things that are in my sight Early evening It's cold and the moon is bright And I believe in The darkness before the light Of a new day A new way of living Of giving delight And if you pay Then you may be slipping Back into the night |

Strange, they tumble and fall Time softly playing the chord Could be lost in the void Do your eyes see it all? Gone like the dreams that you made Sad how memory fades Drawn by the mystical sight There's a voice in the night And your eyes see it all Stay with me All I want from you Just stay with me All I want to do Is look in your eyes And sail on through the night Echoes and shadows Drift through tomorrow's Dreams that you follow In the dark Fools are entranced by the dawn But the wise man misses it all He laughs and the pages are torn While the intellect scorns As he clutches the straws Stay with me All I want from you Just stay with me All I want to do Is look in your eyes And sail on through the night Echoes and shadows Drift through tomorow's Dreams that you follow In the dark |

And giving it up, it ain't easy I give up my life And giving it up, it ain't easy I give up everything I have Even give this heart of mine I would give up my soul Giving it all for you I give up my time And giving it up, it ain't easy I've made up my mind And making it up, it ain't easy Give up everything I have Think about this heart of mine? I would give up my soul Giving it all for you |

Each night the same songs
Each night the pain As I look for your face In the shadows of the front row Life came between us Life on the road We'd kiss and fly on Like birds in the winter time Every day it's another lonely ride Was a time when you'd be here by my side Oh, but the rain came down Washed it all away Now I stand alone with my guitar and play When will I see you How will I know? My voice echoes on As I wait by the telephone Maybe you'll be there After the show But hope slowly fades Like the lights in a stage show Every day it's another lonely ride Was a time when you'd be here by my side Oh, but the rain came down Washed it all away Now I stand alone with my guitar and play |

You - got to sing a new song
'Cause the way that we're going Is far too long Alone, when you can't hear a sound And you're halfway to freedom It can't be found But we've got the love And the feeling's strong And we're going on And we can't go wrong Halfway to freedom Sing out the word Tables are turning We're learning Our voice can be heard Towers are falling See how they burn Hope for each other Our brothers All over the world Love like a cry in the night We reach out for each other Peace to find Hear, when the bells start to chime And you're halfway to freedom It's hard to find Halfway to freedom Sing out the word Tables are turning We're learning Our voice can be heard Towers are falling See how they burn Hope for each other Our brothers All over the world |

Looking like something from out of space we came
Nothing much to look at, but did he complain? He didn't mind us being here to live in peace and grace What we're doing to him now could put us back in space We're thinking like some creatures off the ocean floor Losing sight of what we've really come here for Can I be heard above the sounds of prejudice and hate? Take time to look around before it gets too late It's a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But I'm sorry to be leaving it It's a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But I guess I still, I still believe in it It's a happy old world We're tearing up the rivers and a thousand streams And highways, they're in places where they've never been We're building towers in the sky and racing for the sun Oh Lord, any eye can see what harm we've done I need some help to get myself out of this maze We can both just say goodbye and go our separate ways My mind's not on this song I sing, my heart's not in the lines Guess I'll go and kill myself, so would you kindly close the blinds Oh a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But I'm sorry to be leaving it It's a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But I guess, guess I still believe in it It's a happy old world |

To our fore the harbour lights
Shining out like beacons burning They can stop this endless night They can stop the wheels from turning Faces in a setting sun Say again that we soon will be one Starlight rakes the silver wing Bringing home its sons and daughters No-one knows the state I'm in Spinning swift above the waters Faces in a setting sun Say again that we soon will be one |

1966년 영국에서 결성된 Barclay James Harvest는 1964년
결성된 유명한 Moody Blues를 표방하는 밴드라는 평론가들의 편협한 평가를 받앗지만 그에 대한 반기로 리더인 John Lee가 Moody Blues가 1967년에 발표한 'Nights in White Satin'을 기본 코드만 남겨두고 완전 다른 곡으로 만들어냈는데 그 곡이 Poor Man's Moody Blues다. |

There's a little bit of you and some of me
There's a little bit of everything you see But you don't know why Harry cried There's a time right after love when you feel low Like a bird with perfect wings denied the sky But you don't know why Harry cried Take a look at the common man He can talk with the use of his hands Pass you on by with a smile Like he just don't care Take a look at yourself in the light People see by the look in your eyes Either you're deaf or you're blind Or you just don't care Well something stirred today Young Harry he passed away Someone moves and a leaf falls to the ground Morning comes and he is not around But you don't know why Harry cried Well you pick him up and you put him in your hand And he slips on through like tiny bits of sand But you don't know why Harry cried Take a look at the common man He can talk with the use of his hands Pass you on by with a smile Like he just don't care Take a look at yourself in the light People see by the look in your eyes Either you're deaf or you're blind Or you just don't care Well something stirred today Young Harry he passed away Bye bye |

There once was a man
Who was born to be king He changed all our lives And he made my heart sing He turned water into wine And called his fishermen He cured the sick The lame could walk The blind could see again He told us of the shepherds And the flowers in the field The story of the farmer's seed And the harvest it would yield He told us of two houses And the man who lost his son Of two men in the temple And the Good Samaritan Love Only love's gonna take you higher Love Only love's gonna carry you home He healed the soldier's servant He calmed the raging sea He shared five loaves and two small fish And five thousand he did feed He told the rich men share your wealth He cured the ten sick men He raised a friend called Lazarus And made him whole again He said love Only love's gonna take you higher Love Only love's gonna carry you home He taught the children how to pray The children he did bless And Mary came with perfume Before his feet she wept He gave us bread - his body He gave us wine - his blood He asked us all to live in peace And nothing do but good Now one friend did betray him Another did deny With arms outstretched he died So all of mankind could survive There once was a man Who was born to be king He'll change all your lives If you'll just let him in He said love Only love's gonna take you higher Love Only love's gonna carry you home Love and understanding carries you home Love Only love's gonna take you higher Higher and higher He said love Only love's gonna carry you home Love... |

I have seen and I have heard
The story's all the same Running here and running there Your love is like a game Everytime I look for you You're walking in the clouds When I look into your eyes I see you looking down You've got something that I want You've got something that I need If there's a chance that I can see I will follow where you lead me High wire, walking on a high wire You're walkin' on a high wire You're walkin' tall But you know you're gonna fall someday I have seen and I have heard That you've been fooling me You could try to make me feel The way I used to be Is there any reason why You leave me on the shore? When I look into your eyes It makes me beg for more You've got something that I want You've got something that I need If there's a chance that I can see I will follow where you lead me High wire, walking on a high wire You're walkin' on a high wire You're walkin' tall But you know you're gonna fall from your... |

You got the groove
I got to move Cause suddenly something's unreal I got to go Get up and go Cause you ain't the way that I feel I know what I like And it ain't looking at you If I have to believe I believe in myself and nobody else Your kind of love ain't for real I got the wheels I got the deals But suddenly you ain't so cool Great God above it's diamond love But that kind of rock don't appeal I know what I like And it ain't looking at you If I have to believe I believe in myself and nobody else Your kind of love ain't for real I got to change it's feeling strange And strange is a highway for fools If it's diamond love that makes you feel good Then that kind of love I can steal I know what I like And it ain't looking at you If I have to believe I believe in myself and nobody else Your kind of love I can steal |

There's a girl that lives in the shadows
Of the street where the music plays There she waits and looks from the outside There's an angel in her face But from her glass she sips a little comfort From the boys she takes a little more And she knows just how far she can take it In a moment she's out on the floor Hold on - she's got to keep a-moving Hold on - dance with the light Hold on - got to keep a-moving Hold on - into the night In her eyes they thought they saw a question Maybe she is looking their way As the night gets older are they wiser? Who will take her? - no-one can say Does she know just how they feel about her? Can't she see she's driving them insane? When the music starts playing again They're saying... Hold on - she's got to keep a-moving Hold on - dance with the light Hold on - got to keep a-moving Hold on - into the night |

How do you feel now
We've got a reason to go on Newly born Seems like I've waited for a lifetime But honey I believed in you When I saw her face I had to cry I don't know why Is she real? Seems like I've waited for a lifetime But honey I believed in you To make my dreams all come true We've got a child I tried and tried to talk it over Seemed like we'd waited a million years Then you conceived our child was born And we were one Picked her up put her by your side Saw a smile that you couldn't hide I tried and tried to talk it over Seerr.ed like we'd waited a million years Then you conceived our child was born And we were one Picked her up put her by your side Saw a smile that you couldn't hide How do you feel now We've got a reason to go on Newly born Seems like I've waited for a lifetime But honey I believed in you To make my dreams all come true We've got a child |
