The light is fading
The cause invading
All the hopes that you were building
On tomorrow

Now you must go

So stretch your wings

High flying diver, spread your wings
Flying high on a cloud
Born on the air, spiral around
So easy making circles
You never touch the ground

You see the sea, feel the sky
Don't know where you're going

Fog rubs before our eyes
Can't face the morning skies
Day comes a day too soon
I'm waiting for that silver moon

Maybe I'm wrong
But I'm feeling like another night
Would make it alright

She is my first love
Graceful in all her ways
Holding the insight
Turning the sky from night into day
She won't fail to take my breath away

So soft the silence
She brings before the dawn

Wake-up,
Wake-up, wake-up
Signs tell the time
you're wasting.
Wake up
wake-up, wake-up
Life you will find
is changing.

Stepping outside,
there's no turning back.
Looking behind,
there's no turning back.
Nowhere to hide -
watch out for the man in drag;
she's got you tagged!
Checking all around,

Sail, sail away,
There you go,
To a place you know.
Why not let me come along,
I won't tell no one.

Now our bodies have entwined,
Touch me with your mind.

Listen now boys, my grandmother said -
I'll tell you a story and then off to bed.
There once was a time, we lived off the land.
Harvest would come, and we all lent a hand

But winds blew our lives, and scattered our seeds.
Changing the landscape, from flowers to weeds.
See in the graveyard the families gone.

In the time it takes to laugh,
love can turn the key.
Crystal clear the future lies
and what will be will be.

Don't hold it back,
take the chance you missed.
Don't hold it back,

I'm in a freefall, like a snowflake falling,
Down, down, down, down, down.
I close my eyes inside my head I starfall
Helpless to the ground.
Down, down, down, down, down, oh yeah.

Smoke rings around me and bright sparks of fire
Flash by as I go.

Look to the mirror
I can tell no lies
Time drawing nearer
Still I wonder why
You are the giver
Me I never try
Now we're together
Still I wonder why

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

Down by the lake
a warm afternoon -
breezes carry children's balloons.
Once upon a time,
not long ago,
she lived in a house by the grove.
And she recalls the day,
when she left home...

Where have you come from,
where have you been?
How can you know
unless you begin?
Turn around,
giving more than you take.
Lost and found
in the past.

Time on your hands
You doodle the day
Shuffle your feet
And turn on the news
To hear what they might say

They've made a machine
A new fangled device

Верблюд, о музыке которого я пишу - это одна из замечательных арт-роковых команд золотого периода арт-рока (70-е годы). С самого начала заметно обилие космически - сказочных клавиш (электрооргана). Та же сказочность и у гитары. И присутствие особого инструмента - флейты.

from "Camel" (p)1973

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

No easy answers
Come to me
That I can see

No easy answers
Were close at hand
When I began
To ask the questions one by one

When the desert sun has passed horizon's final light
And darkness takes it's place...
We will pause to take our rest.
Sharing songs of love,
Tales of tragedy.

The souls of heaven
Are stars at night.

В благословенные 70-е был популярен жанр рок-оперы, в котором, к примеру, дядьки вроде Яна Лорда и Блекмора соревновались: а кто круче Бетховена забацает - электроорган или гитара?
И писали это на пленку, а потом за денюжку пластинки продавали...

Что-то из того дошло до сегодняшнего дня, например "JCh - Superstar"

Многое съела амнезия, и эту группу некогда блиставшую тоже...

При всей наивности (с нынешней точки зрения) этой музики в ней есть что-то, что заставляет раз в полгода долго лазать по стеллажу, отыскивая нужный альбом, затем оттерев от пыли коробку поставить диск в СД и слушать "от корки до корки"...

Love, are you awake or are you sleeping?
I'm so excited I could die...
starting out our lives.
Must make some plans for the future
now we need to settle down...
make a home our own.

What we gonna do when the baby comes?

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

So far beyond the sky

See the lights out on the water
Come and go, to and fro
In the time it takes to find them
You can live, you can die
And nothing stops the river as it goes by
Nothing stops the river as it goes

All alone and all together

Here's that feeling once again
Across the room you turn and then
Smile - I've known that smile before
Yes we've been friends for sure
Dreams and memories so clear
Share the love that we once had
Let the music carry on
Keep on dancing

Feel a chill in the dark,
twilight falls.
Feel the beat of your heart,
danger calls.

Up to the rooftop, out in the rain...

Well I'm planning it out,

When i'm on my own
and out of my mind
I realise how i've grown,
and changed my old line

Learning how to give
and not be afraid,
of the place where i live
