Through the eyes of a child
There's no wrong or right
No reason to hate
No need for a fight
No color, no creed
No malice, no greed
Till the child becomes a man
Give up your freedom

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

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

Back to the Wall

Stranger at the gate, let him in
Stranger at the gate, let him in
Stranger at the gate, let him in
Won't you let him in?

He's been waiting on the other side

We will survive beyond the grave
And as we sleep we will be saved
Life in its essence will endure
Whilst still on earth we can be sure
All our endeavors surely must return to dust
We will survive beyond the grave
And as we sleep we will be saved
Though storm and tempest ravage all

Capricorn
Man of war
Honour bright
The long midnight
In the hour before
You lose your head
The thief will paint
The sunlight red

I'm a child of South Africa
I'm a child of Vietnam
I'm a child of Northern Ireland
I'm a small boy with blood on his hands
Yes I'm a child of the universe
Yes I'm a child of the universe
You can see me on the TV every night
Always there to join in someone else's fight

He was born on easy streets
Played so hard his feet they
never touched the ground
Never felt afraid
Hour after shining hour
No thought of time no parents worrying
Innocent of fear

Gone, you sons of darkness
Gone, you tyrants of old
From the land where we hear
Lautari playing
Here in the outfield of Europe
A cry for freedom was heard
Rang out to the world
And we all stood watching

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

Sitting here, me and Chris's son
We've got a story to strike you down
About a girl with the light in her eyes
Black on the night, drive on the day
Let the wheels run dry
Sitting here, waiting for the sun
Little darling, for you to come
By the light of the moon flashing by

Love was a lesson we tried to learn
There were no exams to pass or fail
Only heartbreaks, renew our faith
Life was a lesson we've tried to learn
There were no tests to pass, no license to gain
Only win or lose, renew our faith

Renew our faith, let us see

Sometimes I think of them now
Those honey-scented days
When sun's bright rays shone on my face
Then summer blazed through the trees
And softened by the shade
It filled that sylvan place
Float
Go with the flow

Please lay down your pistols and your rifles
Please lay down your colours and your creeds
Please lay down your thoughts of being no-one
Concentrate on what you ought to be
Then lay down your bullshit and your protests
Then lay down your governments of greed
Take a look at what lies all around you
Then pray God we can live in peace

She comes up with the morning sun
And tells me life has just begun
Oh what it is to be young
And in the early evening light
She brings me flowers from the sun
Oh what it is to be young

And if you see her you will know

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

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

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

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

Valley's deep and the mountain's so high
If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side
You stand up there with your head in the clouds
Don't try to fly you know you might not come down
Don't try to fly near God, you might not come down
Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
The people said it was a virgin birth
Jesus came down from Heaven to earth

Their spirits soar on high
They wing with birds that float on by
Your love and mine
Their spirits with the breeze
That gently plays the summer leaves
Your love and mine

Life is a bird in the sky

I can't go on without you
There's a part of me that's gone
Like a day without the sun
I can't go on without you

There is nothing I can do
And no words that I can say
All the meanings slip away

A blind man in the night

Looking for a way down

Prophet of an unknown

Just looking for a way home

It's a January 9 a.m. sunrise
On the cobbles of St. Petersburg
And champagne misty eyes.
Someone started painting
All those pictures in the snow.
Where do they go?
Play the song,
You know the time is right

Circles in the sky
White as paper fly
Sound of seagulls crying fills the air
High above the lonely one is there
Jonathan he cares
To feel better
Like the passing wind
Swooping down again

There's a beautiful sight
You know they call it tomorrow
It's the most beautiful sight
That you'll ever see

I know it's only a day away
And it's always in the future
But it's that something to look forward to

There is something that I can see
Every time that you talk to me
And it feels like I'm gonna be
Looking from the outside
There is something I've got to say
And it's making me feel this way
Does it mean that I'm gonna stay
Looking from the outside

Love was like a violin playing soft and low
In your heart you held the strings, in my heart the bow
Together we made soft sweet music, together we believed
In every day in every hour our love was everything
Love was like a summer breeze, after pouring rain
Blowing all the clouds away, bringing sun again
Together we made soft sweet music, together we believed
In every day in every hour our love was everything

Love like a burning fire,
Creeping up on you.
Watch as the flame grows higher,
Can you see it through?
Don't you know the die is cast?
Got to keep on running
Faster than time.
And you're riding high above,

Didn't anybody see his hand move faster than the lightning in his eyes?
Oh, what a cold surprise the flying horses cried
And didn't anybody want to ask the calliope to call the tune?
The flying horses crooned but did not know

The medicine man sits on the stage
Eats fire and water, earth and air, while we all stare
The silver blade burns bright and tells us to beware

I get up early in the morning
It's up and out with the sun
Spending my day making natural highs
And in the evening when my work is done
I make a phone call from the hotel
Speak to my woman each day
I tell my lady that I'm missing her
And I hope she feels the same

Sky was black, Lord, rain came pouring down
Number 12 bus shuffling down Shaw Road way
Mules keep spinning, black-faced lifers peck the ground
Sun comes up like lightning over Tandle Hills grey
We are mill boys, stuck on the hill boys
Stuck in the mill boys, 'till our dying day
We are mill boys, stuck on the hill boys
Stuck in the mill boys, 'till our dying day

Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds and sky
Hush now baby, don't you cry
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs in the trees
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs
Just for you and me
Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds and sky

Voices in the air, drifting from afar
Evening finds her waking, dancing with the stars
And when I'm waiting for the sun to smile upon my face
Moongirl's softly sleeping, daylight dreams away
Silence stepping by, lightly on the ground
Movng like a butterfly, never makes a sound
And when I'm waiting for the sun to shine so I can see
Comes the dancing moongirl, watching over me

Oh Mother dear
What a night this has been
I awoke in the light of a vision in white
The prettiest girl that I have ever seen
Lately my love, said the lady in white
I have watched from afar, but love draws me near
Now take my hand, hold tight, Mother dear
Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear?

Silver, drifting on high
Deep range star lords
Rebel land of black night
Float by your stars.

Mistress of fear see me towards always
Nova bright shine far beyond all time.

Close my eyes and dream the time away
Like the shadows in the night
Count the hours until the break of day
There's something missing from my life
Can you see me as you listen to the radio
Hope the message carries through
I can see you waiting, waiting on the other side
This song I sing is just for you

I cannot see you
For the sun is in my eyes
I cannot hear you
Everything you say just passes by
What I'd give for just a smile
Instead of drifting at
A hundred thousand miles

You took all my money
I gave you no name
My love and my money
Did you think I would chase it in the rain?
My eyes are now open
But what do I see?
One ride after midnight
Had I thought it would mean that much to me?

His crazy frame against the dawn
His hungry leap and ragged fall
A suicidal perch is now laid bare
To searching eyes and empty stares
A fearful silence hits the crowd
The air hangs heavy with the sound
Of useless wings against the morning sky
As paper yields before their eyes

You, can make the day seem right,
And make the darkness bright,
That's what you do.
Girl, don't hide your love away,
You'll want it back someday,
That's what they say.
And my friend,
We're gonna make it right,

I was down on the east side
On a block with no name
When I walked in a movie
You were blue, I was game
Tell me, did you love it, baby?
Did you think your smile looked right?
Tell me when you came together
Was it in your mind 'cause it sure wasn't out of sight

All the nights that I've missed you
All the nights without end
All the times that I've called you
Only needing a friend
Now your eyes shine with beauty
That I missed long ago
Guess the truth is I love you
I can't say any more

Got a good feeling
When she walks by
Got to move closer
She makes me high
The touch of her body
I feel next to mine
Every action
Moving in time

Burning fiery furnace in the sky
Burns the ground around us where we lie
Sad old black-faced thunder will you rise
Bring your cloud and shadows to our eyes

Blazing star in heaven, mirror bright
Dry our seas and rivers with your light
Universal sentinel you are

The Morse code with which Les’s title track begins actually spells out "ring of changes", and the album’s theme of cyclical change is continued in the circular artwork, the lyrics of this song and the reprise of the orchestral motif at the end, bringing us neatly back to where we came in.

Lyrics:
Talk of tomorrow
And you talk of the times that have been
The wheels keep on turning
Turning circles we go round again
Never ending the time is bending

The higher you fly, the harder you fall
The way that it goes, so they say
No mountain's too high, no valley too low
No river too wide on the way
So you're gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
Gonna make it on your own
Write a song that everyone can sing along
So you want to take a trip to the stars

Dreams and castles
We build them constantly
Who will see what we've done before?
Thoughts that follow me
Fools of destiny
This is what we've become

Say you'll stay with me

(Les Holroyd)
See the river deep and wide
Could be free
On the other side
Oh, cross the water
When the gun and knife
Have gone
Who'll be here

As the sounds of the morning
Roll on out of the night
The thoughts of a dreamer
Asking and telling me why
Lady awaken the morning is taking
Your bad dreams away from your eyes
Nothing's forsaken the new day is breaking
So come now it's time to arise

They all tell her
"Leave the kid alone
He's got something on his mind"
I feel like I'm choking
Drowning in her fear
And I don't know what's inside
There was a time when we'd show all our feelings
In star bright love

I feel sorry for the soldier who is shot and stoned in anger
I feel sorry for his wife and child at home
I feel sorry for the bomber who all life and limb dishonors
For the people that he's maimed and left alone

The Lord God said love thy neighbor
Though in human life he trades, he's still a man

Where's the lady and the time I used to know
I think that I've been on the road too long
Scenes of better days are pictured in my head
And haunting me those old familiar songs

Oh sweet Jesus hear me cry
Let me see a clearing sky
For tomorrow I may be back home again

It's the truth, or so they say
Who holds her hand, holds her heart
She's old enough to play fast and loose
In a schoolgirl kind of way

But this teenage heart's driving me insane
The moment that we touch will ease my pain
Who holds her hand, holds her heart

Heard a song the other day
About a major out in space
And though the song was kind of grey
It took me far away

Heard the news the other day
About a sailor oh so gay
And though his policies were grey

from "Barclay James Harvest" (p)1970

She walks on through the night
Her circumstances slight
Are only helping her to fail
And though she feels she's right
She tries with all her might
And makes the deepest peril pale

There's a life that burns
When the night has come
Makes me understand
You're the one I see
And I can't say no
Take me by the hand

Can't believe that you want it to be

See the gambler make a stand
Holds a lifetime in his hand

Win the game or lose control
But the world goes on forever

Life's a circle, I recall
Shadows played upon the wall

Слова этой песни состоят из названий песен легендарных Битлз!! Послушайте, песня классная (выложила ее в группу в аудиозаписи)! Особенно в тему там вступление "The long and winding road"!

TITLES

The long and winding road that leads to your door
Here comes the sun it's alright people shout for more
But were you trying to deceive telling me
All you need is love to succeed

5. Echoes And Shadows
6. Death Of A City

You build me up
Then you make me fall
With a little more love
You could make it easy
I'm standing here
With my back to the wall
I keep holding on

Saw the paper the other day
Started to read
Seems they've got a new way
Of fighting all their wars
Just what we need
When will you stop playing all your games?
Won't you listen when we say
I don't remember anyone asking me about it

Seems to me, the time has come
Party's over, you sit by the 'phone
Through the daytime, you're gonna be all right
But when the night time comes
You're gonna be alone

Even though your heart is breaking
I see it in your eyes

We can't all be right
We can't all be wrong
It's a long journey
We travel on
Gypsies of the night
Riders of the storm
Though it's heartbreaking
We must go on

When you're in love
Some things you take for granted
Until someone pulls it apart
And leaves you with half of your heart
How do I trade
The best I had for less
Without giving up
Should I slowly accept that we'll be no more than just friends

All around we're caught in the light of a thousand suns
Riding the wind of eternal years
Watching the Earth die before our eyes
Hearing the world crying in our ears
We kill the trees, now there isn't any rainfall
And there's burning sand where the cornfields were before
We poison seas, pouring oil on troubled waters
And the air we breathe doesn't taste good any more

And so the time has come,
to fight for right and wrong.
There is no one to save us fromourselves.
Along the troubled road,
a story will unfold
Of fantasy born any age of innocence.

I can see the rain begin to fall,
