Don't worry darling,
That's no 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

Naked and frozen at the side of a lake,
I think I've gone and made my big mistake,
I took her swimming, we had a fight,
Now my clothes and the lady are well out of sight;
And it looks like I'm heading for a night on the river,
Under the moon and the stars,
Looks like I'm heading for a night on the river,
Me and my beating heart, singing in the dark;

It's a rainy night in Paris,
And the harbour lights are low,
He must leave his love in Paris,
Before the winter snow;

On a lonely street in Paris,
He held her close to say,
"We'll meet again in Paris,

A spaceman came traveling 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 a light and came down to a shed
Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed

A woman's heart is filled with passion,
A woman's heart is filled with lust,
If you don't believe that these things happen,
Could be the biggest mistake that a man can make;

A woman's night is filled with dreaming,
Of the perfect man who may not be you,
If we don't see what she's been missing,

A woman's heart is filled with passion,
A woman's heart is filled with lust,
If you don't believe that these things happen,
Could be the biggest mistake that a man can make;

A woman's night is filled with dreaming,
Of the perfect man who may not be you,
If we don't see what she's been missing,

Maybe I didn't love you quite as good as I should have,
Maybe I didn't hold you quite as often as I could have,
Little things I should have said and done,
I just never took the time;

You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind;

So many hearts, so many years, so many people in this vale of tears,
But there is one you will meet again, in this endless duet of the dance,
Then the carriages come and the ladies descend with their dreams,
With the gloves and the mask, nothing is here what it seems;

One touch is all it takes, two hearts will meet again,
I will know you tonight when I see you at the Bal Masqué,
One touch is all it takes, two hearts will celebrate,

E
Blonde hair, blue jeans, best thing I've ever seen,
She looks great, she feels good, lives in my neighbourhood,
C D E - A/E - E
And when she walks past my house she brings me to my knees,
A/E - E C D E - A/E - E
It's like a long dark shadow falling over me;
A/E - E

Blonde hair, blue jeans, best thing I've ever seen,
She looks great, she feels good, lives in my neighborhood,
And when she walks past my house she brings me to my knees,
It's like a long dark shadow falling over me; I'm talking 'bout

Blonde hair, blue jeans, she haunts me in my dreams,
I wake up, I fall down, I'm lost in what I've found,
Because she lies beside me and whispers in my ear, please, please,

Borderline

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;

These broken wings can take me no further,
I'm lost, and out at sea,
I thought these wings would hold me forever,
And on to eternity,
And far away I can hear your voice,
I can hear it in the silence of the morning,
But these broken wings have let me down,
They can't even carry me home.

It's all right I'm not lost,
I've got a reading on the Southern Cross,
And I've been listening to the radio,
For signs of new life,
Some people find the game too tough,
And there are those who've simply had enough,
But I'm still here and I'm not giving up,
I'm going the distance;

Old-fashioned people, they never know why
the world is changing day to day,
it moves so fast and leaves them in another time.

An old-fashioned dancer is dancing alone,
dreaming of those music halls
and with his lady waltzing away until the dawn.

"what do I do next? " said the bishop to the priest,
"i have spent my whole life waiting, preparing for the feast,
And now you say jerusalem has fallen and is lost,
The king of heathen saracen has seized the holy cross."

Then the priest said "oh my bishop, we must put them to the sword,
For God in all his mercy will find a just reward,
For the noblemen and sinners, and knights of ready hand

Searchlights, rain on the road,
Waiting for the airport limousine,
Your time in this foreign land,
Is nearly over, I'll never forget how
Last night, after he called,
You held me like you'd never let me go,
But your eyes are happy now,
And you are beautiful, you're ready to leave me,

Lady love, go back to sleep,
Dry the tears from your eyes,
But I cannot stay with thee,
Until the morning,
For the dawn is breaking,
And my ship is waiting for me,
And I must go,
But I'll be back, yes,

It was late at night on the open road,
Speeding like a man on the run,
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey

He is closer now and the search is on,
Reading from a map in the mind,
Yes, there's the ragged hill,
And there's the boat on the river

Everywhere I go,
Everywhere I go I see an image of her face,
She talks to me,
She talks to me in a thousand ways;

Everyone I know,
Everyone I know is calling on the telephone,
“Are you ok, are you alright,

The cafés are all deserted, the streets are wet again,
There's nothing quite like an out of season
holiday town in the rain,
When the tourists go and the cold winds blow,
And my girl is on a plane, home...

I'm never gonna love another,
the way that I have loved you,

When I touch you I can feel you shivering,
I can feel your heart is beating fast,
We are alone in this crowded room,
Oh tonight there is something happening,
And it's something that should never be,
But there's a flame over you and me;

And I can see the fire on water,

It's five past dreams, I should be home asleep,
But I just want to keep this moment alive, it's just you and I,
And I can't deny that I've had too much to drink tonight,
But everybody's gone, and we're still going strong,
Thinking of bed, dancing instead, you're lovely in red;

And we are moving cheek to cheek, and I know that I'm with
The only one who makes it right, it's in your eyes, and your smile,

And from that moment,
I dreamed I could fly,
And from that mountain I reached for the sky;

Through tears and good times, I found my way;
Those years are calling me again;

Then I hear footsteps echoing along the winding road,

This is for Rosanna, sweet girl of mine,
A song for the baby who changed my life,
I'll never forget when I saw you first,
I thought that my heart would burst,
With the love that I have;

As I watch you sleeping in here tonight,
And I hear your breathing so soft and light,

Forevermore lyrics

I wake with the dawn, something is wrong, then I hear you
Breathing softly by my side,
And I know that I was dreaming of a time that may come when
You would be no longer in my life.

I slip out of bed, I go downstairs,

Is there anybody going to listen to my story,
All about the girl who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry,
Still you don't regret a single day,

Ah, girl ... girl...
When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her,
She will turn to me and start to cry,

Freedom calls
And in your heart you have been waiting
For this moment to come
Within these walls
You have heard words of inspiration
That have opened your eyes

I am old

Well, it's after midnight and the skies are shining bright,
And a big fat moon is dancing on the sea, and I'm thinking oh my...
And that old man in the sky he's looking me right in the eye,
And he's wondering why, and he's saying "Little singer,
Why aren't you sleeping, why aren't you sleeping?"
Oh, the day is hanging heavy on my eyes, I guess the time,
Has come to say goodnight...

Here he lies before me,
My friend for many years,
He saved me from the water,
Now I’m drowning in my tears;

Grief is but a poor word for everything I feel,
There can be no greater love;

I'm living with a guilty secret, deep in my heart,
Living in a guilty secret life;

We meet at night, we stay out late,
And we avoid the man who makes her life so bad,
'Cos he doesn't want her, the way that I want her,
He doesn't need her the way I do;

With the voices getting nearer I knew that I had to hide,
I got up behind a coffin, then I saw who was inside,
By the skin and bones of Blackbeard I lay there in the dark,
T’was then I heard a whisper above the beating of my heart;

“Have a care, have a care,
T’was evilly come by and no good will you find there,
Have a care, have a care,

Heart of darkness


Last night I saw it there, shining in the dark again,
The light that all men seem to fear,
They say that sailors were drowning in the bay,
And people kept away,
Waiting for the riches that a wreck would bring,

I don’t know where the time has gone, suddenly here we are alone,
Only a word before you go, everyone’s waiting;
So many friends to say goodbye, so many tears they’ll have to cry,
So many wings to help you fly where you are going;

And now a plane must take away my child that life has found,
And you will be up in the sky, and I’ll be on the ground,
Sending my love with you tonight;

Chris De Burgh - Here Is Your Paradise

I never knew love could be a silence in the heart,
A moment when the time is still,
And all I've been looking for is right here in my arms,
Just waiting for the chance to begin;

I never knew love could be the sunlight in your eyes,

Oh my heart is spinning like a wheel,
Only she can see the way that I fell,
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,

I see you everywhere, I see your eyes, I touch your hair,
You took me on a highway to the stars, and left me halfway there;

I hold you in my dreams, your tender kiss is never what it seems,
'Cos when I wake up in the morning sun, I look, but you're not there;

I cannot believe this has happened to me,
It's been heaven in your arms,

I'm going to an island,
Where the sun will always shine,
Where the moon is always riding on the sea;
And when I go I'll leave behind,
These chains that hold me down,
The time has come to set my spirit free,
Ah ah ... I will

When I'm lying in the arms
Of the woman I love,
I'm completely at peace with the world,
And the dark clouds around me
That often surround me
Just fall away into the night,
I'm not scared anymore;

If beds could talk, mine would be singing,
Singing about the time when you and I were lovers,
All night long, we could not stop,
They were amazing times, they were the crazy times,
They were the best that I have known,
Another place to fly, another taste to try,
We were awake in a beautiful dream;

Please give me one more chance,
I'm begging you, just one more chance,
If you'll listen
This is not some movie romance,
Or everlasting love at a glance,
Won't you listen
She is a part of me now,
She's the very heart of me now, so

A candy coloured clown they call the sandman,
Tiptoes to my room every night,
Just to sprinkle star dust and to whisper,
"Go to sleep everything is alright;"

I close my eyes and I drift away,
And to the magic night I softly say,
A silent prayer, like dreamers do,

There's an angel crying up in Heaven tonight
And I've got the Devil in my heart
Because I keep on saying things that I don't mean
And it's tearing us apart

There's a wild wind blowing in the desert tonight
Oh how I long to feel the rain
And let it wash away these lonely tears

Some people fall in love
In rooms that are so dark.
They can’t see where they are going
And they lose their hearts.
But when I saw your face,
It was a light so strong!
I could feel a long night coming on...!

Sitting by the window of this broken-down hotel,
Trying to write a letter just to show you that I'm well,
But I've been watching all the people as they cross the marketplace,
And though there really is no reason, I've been looking for your face,
It's such a long way home,
It's such a long way home,
It's such a long way;
Standing by the aeroplane she held me in her arms,

Plenty of time to turn out the light,
I want to keep this feeling inside, for a little more,
It must be a Daddy's pride and joy, a little baby boy,
Is lying in my arms here tonight;

Tears in my eyes when I saw you being born,
So much emotion, words cannot form, so I'll let it be,
Only to say it's you and me, for eternity,

He was but a traveler on the lonely road of life,
She, her name was Mary, a lady of the night,
She found him lying in that road, on a winter's night so cold,
Just another poor boy, treat him right;

She saw that he was hungry and gave him food to eat,
She knew that he was weary and he had no place to sleep,
She took him home to her own bed, she lay down his wounded head,

Jamás había visto en la vida tan bella mujer,
La quise conocer, mmmm
Jamás la había visto moverse tan suave y sensual,
Yo la quise conquistar, una y otra vez,
De repente me di cuenta,
Que la mujer que yo veía eras tú,
Tan solo tú,

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance
Given half a chance
And I've never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your hair
That catch your eyes

Last night I was walking through the harbour,
Where the fishing boats are lying on the shore,
The news had travelled fast and everyone went to be,
Where the mayor was making a speech,
And the crowd started cheering,
When he talked about the glory of it all,
And the boys coming home from the war;

I’ve never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight.
I’ve never seen you shine so bright.
I’ve never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance,
They’re looking for a little romance, given half a chance.
And I have never seen that dress you’re wearing,
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes - I have been blind.

Refrain:

Just one dream can change a nation,
Just one man can open a door,
A single voice can be lost in time,
But a million voices will be heard

Just one dream can change a nation,
Just one man can open the door,
A single voice will be lost in time,

Chris de Burgh
LENINGRAD

There she stood in an empty room,
heard a voice from another time,
And the memories came rolling back
of Leningrad in the war;

When I find myself in times of trouble
Когда беда приходит снова,
Mother Mary comes to me
Мать Мария, мне шепни
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Мудрые слова простые: "Отпусти..."
And in my hour of darkness
И в темные часы сомнений

Watch, and wait, get ready for the sign,
There are many here among us now,
Who have not seen the light,
We must send the word to all the people in the land,
Go to every hill and mountain,
For the time is now at hand,
To light a fire!
Light a fire,

Living in this fantasy, working with reality,
I have come back her again, to touch the sun and feel the rain,
Invitations, conversations, friends to make me strong,
I've seen that light and I watch it shine, living in the world;

Well I believe that destiny is written in the darkest sea,
With every movement that we make, and every footstep that we take,
Inspirations, correlations, where we're meant to be,

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 cafe
I never thought I'd see the day,
But winter's here and summer's really over,
Even the birds have packed up and gone,

And he laid her down in a field of corn,
And the sun was on his back,
Up above there was, a clear blue sky,
she held him by the hand,
she had known him since they both were young,
He'd been always in her life,
And the first time that he had kissed her lips,
she knew it deep inside, that this was;

It was way after midnight, all the village was asleep,
All except for one young villain through the night did creep,
He went down to the church, started ringing the bell,
Everybody came out looking, running like the hounds of hell;

There are lights in the castle, they are blazing all night long,
Let me tell you everybody there is something going on,
So they took to the torches and went over the wall,

Man On The Line

There's a man on the line, he is wasting my time
He calls me everyday, he's got nothing to say
And at the dead of night when I turn out the light
The telephone rings, it's him again

I wouldn't mind if he told me just what the hell is going on

I've been 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,

Alas poor john he was a prisoner
Fortune's fool for many a day
Blinded by that cursed diamond
With his freedom he must pay

And so it was for faithful elzevir
Cast in chains for ten long years
With never a word of blame or anger

Fix me a drink, make it a strong one,
Hey comrade, a drink, make it a long one,

My hands are shaking and my feet are numb,
My head is aching and the bar's
going round,
And I'm so down, in this foreign town;

Fix me a drink, make it a strong one,
Hey comrade, a drink, make it a long one,
My hands are shaking and my feet are numb,
My head is aching and the bar’s going round,
And I’m so down, in this foreign town;

Tonight there’s a band, it ain’t such a bad one,
Play me a song, don’t make it a sad one,

Sometimes the man in me gets restless,
I need to get away from you,
And spend some time with someone that I knew,
Just to see her for a night,
And in the candlelight,
To talk and remember early days;

Sometimes the woman in you's uneasy,

this is my heart's surrender
this is my choosen moment
this is the time - to tell you i love you
and i have to say good bye

and i will miss when winter comes
and when the summer is here
and i will listen to wind and wave

A new moon is laughing up there in the sky, but
My love is crying and I'll tell you why

Crisis and confusion when she came along,
Followed by delusion when I found out that I was wrong,
She said "Baby, we're cruising along on the crest of a wave,"
And I said "Maybe, but baby I'm losing, and the only wave is goodbye"

Old-fashioned people, they never know why,
The world is changing day to day,
It moves so fast and leaves them in another time;

An old-fashioned dancer is dancing alone,
Dreaming of those music halls,
And with his lady waltzing away until the dawn,

Long years would be lost and over since the morning train
And the words that he called out to her
"I'll be back again!
We will all be home for christmas boys
It's what the general said"
But little did they know the winds of war
Would change the world instead

When the valley's quiet with the snow,
And the train has one more mile to go,
To the station where my love will be,
She waits for me, she waits for me;

Now the lights are shining down below,
And I see the village that's my home,
And I see all the places that I love,

One word, one heart,
One night is all I want,
One word, one heart, one girl
Is waiting there for me

Midnight and all is well,
I hear the mission bell
Out on the road nothing is moving

Chris de Burgh
Биография Chris de Burgh

Текст песни: One word (Straight to the heart)
Альбом: Into the light

One word, one heart, one night, is all I want,

You don't know me, but I know you,
You saw my face, but you looked right
through me,
You left your heart and soul at the walls
of Jerusalem!
You joined the fight for God and King,
Together marching to the Holy Land,
with King Richard's crusade,

Dennis is a menace with his "anyone for tennis?"
And beseeching me to come and keep the score
And Maud saya "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've found down by the quay
Her name is Patricia, she calls herself Delicia

Let there be light where there was darkness,
Let there be love where there was hate,
Even in the terrors of the night,
Sooner or later, comes the day

Let there be joy where there was sorrow,
Let there be hope where there was none,
And even as your life-blood flowed away,

I will tell of a hunter whose life was undone,
By the cruel hand of evil at the setting of the sun,
His arrow was loosed and it flew through the dark,
And his true love was slain as the shaft found its mark;

She'd her apron wrapped about her,
And he took her for a swan,
And it's oh and alas it was she, Polly Von;

We were talking about how all the years go by,
People and places and the march of time,
Only memories can take us back there again

Like the day on the boat, beneath a clear blue sky,
When out of the sea they came to jump and fly,
Now I understand why my friend said,
"Dolphins make us cry"

Silently dawn comes in with the rain,
and I feel the world is crying,
The moment is here,
and it's time to say goodbye;

Words cannot tell of all you have done,
and the love that you have shown me,
You're more than a friend,

For every child that has been born there is a chance to shine,
And everyone can have a dream until the end of time,
So live for every moment as the world keeps turning round,
And lift your hands up to the sky and say it loud and proud,
"I have been here, read my name, read my name! "

For every child that has been born there is a chance in life,
To try it all and be someone with what we have inside,

РОЗА АНГЛИИ

Слушайте, и я сейчас
Вам поведаю рассказ
Как любовь долг погубил
Как два верных сердца он разбил
Не было ее милей -
Девы голубых кровей

Waiting at the water's edge,
Watching all the ships as they are heading for the harbour wall,
I was just a boy, I was just a boy,
Dreaming of the wide world, dreaming of the wide world;

Watching as they disappear,
Reading out the names of all the places I have never been,
Looking out to sea, staring out to sea,

Underneath a silver moon, the ship is like a ghost,
She's been out there for a week, just waiting for the wind to blow,
But now she's off and running, and there's nothing I can do,
'Cos I am just a prisoner here until this war is through,
And I'm singing,

Sailor, can you hear me,
Sailor, hear my call,

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 satin green shutters, it would be lovely,
The most lovely house in the world...

No borderline, no borderline...

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 goodbye to it all;

"Sealed With a Kiss"

So we gotta say goodbye for the summer
baby I promise you this
I'll send you all my love
every day in a letter
Sealed with a kiss

"Sealed With a Kiss"

So we gotta say goodbye for the summer
baby I promise you this
I'll send you all my love
every day in a letter
Sealed with a kiss

At separate tables we sit down to eat,
In separate bedrooms we go to sleep at night,
I only wish you knew how much,
You've been on my mind;

I think about you when the morning comes,
I think about you when all my day is done,
Wondering what you are doing now,

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;

There were people by the waterside,
Standing in the same place where I am today,

Ship to shore, do you read me anymore,
This line is bad, and fading,
Ship to shore, answer my call,
Send me a signal, a beacon to bring me home;
I have been to see the world,
tasted life at every turn,
And all the time,
Your face came back to haunt me;

I'm lying here tonight, thinking of the days we've had.
Wondering if the world would be so beautiful,
If I had not looked into your eyes.
How did you know that I've been waiting?
Never knew the world would be so beautiful at all..

I'm spending all the days,
Dreaming of the nights we've had,

Peace and understanding is the wisdom of her world,
She loves without a reason, she gives without a word,
There are those who make me smile, brighten up my day,
But oh this woman she is something else again;

All the nights I've ever known are waiting in her eyes,
Sparkling like the silver, brimming like the wine,
Other lovers laid me down, took my breath away,

I heard a voice so pure and easy, a songbird singing for me,
I had no choice, only to listen, and surrender to her world

And she will fly over the rainbow,
She will walk in fields of gold,
And when she sings from the high walls of Heaven,

Suddenly love comes in and finds me on open ground,
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run, there's no turning back,
And a journey has just begun;

Suddenly love breaks down the doors,
There is singing inside,
And all of the light that's in your eyes, shining here tonight,
Has woken the man in me, and the woman in you,

Old man walking by the sea is dreaming,
Dreaming of the days when he was young,
Hand in hand, a little boy beside him,
Hearing about the weekends under the sun
"Ah most of all I remember,
A little song we used to play,
It was about the English weather,
Always raining on a sunny day, and it went

Every now and then I hear a song I used to know,
Playing late at night on radio,
And I remember when the schooldays finally had to end,
We were neatly wrapped and sent off in a row;

To be champions of the world,
We can take on anyone,
Nothing’s going to keep us from the door;

Talk to me, I need a little advice,
I've got you on my mind,
Words of passion coming out of the night,
You make me feel alive;

I'm not one in a million, I'm a million in one,
Thinking of ways to your heart,
I've got a feeling that it will be your hand,

Oh how, at the journey's end, I lie in the heat of the night,
Feeling the heartache, wondering why, I want a friend,
I want a friend to lay down beside me,
I want a friend, I want her now, someone who knows what I mean
When I say, that I need

Tender hands to hold me, I need tender hands tonight,
Will you lay them on my shoulders.

In the ballroom of romance, there's a rock band playing,
People swaying to the beat, swaying in the heat,
In the corner over there by the door is a local casanova,
Yelling for another double scotch, "hey, steady on the rocks!"
And when the girl walked in, a complete unknown,
There was mass confusion, this beauty was alone,
And then the room began to shimmer,
Every heart was beating fast,

If you know someone who is lonely this Christmas,
Reach out a hand and open the door,
Bring them inside in the spirit of Christmas
And show what lies in store;

If you know someone whos forgotten that Christmas,
Will always shine in the eyes of a child,
Open their hearts to the memories of Christmas

There was a time the fire was burning bright,
And everything was shining in the light,
But when the heart is cold, together we're alone,
Thinking of reasons to stay away;

There was a time that love was in our bed,
Eternity in every word we said,
But when desire has gone, it's hard to carry on,

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,

There once was a king, who called for the spring,
For his world was still covered with snow,
But the spring had not been, for he was wicked and mean,
In his winter fields nothing would grow;
And when a traveller called, seeking help at the door,
Only food and a bed for a night,
He ordered his slave to turn her away,
The girl with april in her eyes...

Each time that I hold you, your eyes fill with fear,
You can't lose control now, the price is too dear,
But love, I have heard you crying in the dark,
And the tears on your pillow came bleeding, weeping from your heart.

Oh sinner, you're losing all that you had,
Your day is in peaces, your night has gone mad,
And love cannot touch you, the search has no end,

Lady in red



I've never seen you looking so lovely as
you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you

I've never seen you looking so lovely as
you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you
wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance
Given half a chance
And I've never seen that dress you're

It's a lesson too late for the learning,
Made of sand, made of sand,
In the wink of an eye my soul is turning,
In your hand, in your hand;

Are you going away with no word of farewell,
Will there be not a trace left behind?
I could have loved you better,

The last time I cried, I was sitting home,
And it was deep in the night,
Staring at the shadows and the flickering lights,
Giving all that I had, to take them away,
Giving all that I had, to make them pay;

The last time I cried, I could see the people,
Long ago in the rain,

I looked to the North, and I turned to the West,
For a sign, a light in the sky,
Oh the message is clear, that the time is near,
For a leader to come again;

A circle of stones on the head of a hill,
Tonight is where it will be,
In this desolate place, we all stand and wait,

Love burns in a young man's heart
He would give her the moon and the stars
And all the treasures of the pharaohs for a moment in her arms

To the ball with him she will go if her brings a red red rose
But there is only a rose of white in his garden green
And calling up to the sky the birds heard his lonely cry

Brother can you spare me food,
And give me a drink of wine,
I've been traveling on this road,
For such a long long time,
I have seen the wonders,
But most amazing of them all,
I believe I've seen the face,
Of the risen Lord;

I cannot sleep tonight, I have you on my mind,
Even the wind is calling your name,
Though you are far away, I feel that you are near,
Whispering words from over the sea,
And if you wake in your night,remember that I will be here;

And like the same sun, that's rising on the valley with the dawn,
I will walk with your shadow and keep you warm,

Now the time had come for Elzevir and John,
To be sent from Holland's shore,
And to end their days in pain and misery,
To be slaves so far from home

Oh, how sweet the salt sea air,
Oh, how bright the sun,
Oh, but little did they know of the storm that was to come,

And so the play begins, and though it is the final night,
My heart will sing, just to be beside her now is everything,
And though it's a play I believe every word that I say,
'Cos I'm in love with her;

I am her Romeo, and every night my Juliet will have to go,
With poison and the knife we die to end the show,

A great lord came walking through the forest
One morning with a weapon in his hand;
Rich was his castle, he lacked for nothing,
But killing was his plan;
When a white bird flew by she fell from the sky,
Nothing was found, only blood on the ground, she was gone;

Cursing his fortune,

In from the coast, riding like the wind and racing the moon,
Shadows on the road, dancing and a-weaving like a crazy fool.
A horseman is coming, death in his heart, for a rendezvous,
And where the traveller goes, nobody knows,
Where the traveller goes, nobody knows....

A candle in the night, fear on every face when he goes inside,
Maybe he's on the run,

And I saw a burning chariot,
And the four horsemen of the apocalypse,
Waiting on high,
And I heard the thunder rolling in,
And behold our leader on a pale horse riding in the sky;

And I saw this land a battlefield,
With a hundred thousand men,

So the wedding feast begins, jesters dance and maidens sing,
Pork and venison, chicken and beef, as befits a wedding feast

For a Loxley, duty calls, but for Robin, these Castle walls,
Were a prison and not a home,
His greatest wish was to be gone

For there are hopes and dreams in a young man's heart,

We play the game, we pay the price with luck that comes and goes,
No matter what the Gods decide, we always spoil their show,
Just like when you are finally near the lover of your dreams,
And as you stand there waiting, she turns and walks away;

And you discover that timing is everything,
You've got to get it right,
Timing is everything in life;

Down in the jungle, you can hear a rumble,
Way up the Himalayas, in a Mexican bodega,
Something is going on,
People are coming, running round the world,
There's no way to avoid them, they're everywhere,
You can see them on the streets of London town;
They've found a tourist attraction,
It's a bobby on the beat,

Looking out on a windy sky,
Watching seabirds as they fly,
On a summer day, on a summer day;

And now the sun is here to stay,
The winter seems so far away,
In the summertime, in the summertime;

Hollywood is such a dream,
And when you're only seventeen, it's wonderful,
A movie man said she could be a star,
A beauty queen, or a cover girl,
She believes and packs up her things,
And the wall of silence begins;

Every night was party night,

Pass me the bottle, pass me the wine,
Open your throttle, and I'll drive you right out of your mind,
Watching the waves, watching the sky,
I'm just sitting down here by the riverside,
Watching the world going by

She said that she loved me and always be true,
But she was high above me, there's only one thing to do,

There is something on my mind,
And I’m losing concentration
And I feel it everytime,
That you are near me.
I could tell you all about,
Your picture at my bedside,
I should call you sometime,
And talk it over.

I spared him his life, but he has taken mine,
Your arrow's revenge will send him straight to hell,
And now comes the night, the shadows are here,
They are calling out to me, but I have no fear,

For I must leave you now,
Yes I must leave you now

From candles burning,
Shadows in the night,
People praying for eternal life,
But my mind just keeps on wandering,
Away from this serene and hallowed place,
To a woman's face;

She was lovely, lovely as a dream,

No I can't forget this evening or your face as you were leaving,
But I guess that's just the way the story goes;
You always smile, but in your eyes,
Your sorrow shows,
Yes, it shows;

No, I can't forget tomorrow,
When I think of all my sorrow,

I've never seen you looking so lovely as
you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you
wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance
Given half a chance
And I've never seen that dress you're

You Look Beautiful
You're looking good,
I Haven't seen you for a long time,
How've you been? I like the way you have your hair,
But something has changed,
And I can see a woman in your eyes, and in your smile;
Remember when we'd always be together,
And we believed this love would never die.

There she stood in an empty room,
heard a voice from another time,
And the memories came rolling back
of Leningrad in the war;

For the girl in the photograph,
much had changed in the years that passed,
But her longing for the boy

Natasha brings me kisses in the moonlight,
She kneels above me, silk upon my skin,
I reach for her, and I can feel her heartbeat,
Beneath her breast so heavy in my hand;

The rain is running rivers on my window,
And shimmers on the streetlights down below,
She's happy when I hold her in the shadows,
