MYSTERY

Girl

2008-06-19T11:53:00.002+03:00

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,
And she promises the earth to me and I believe her,
After all there's time I don't know why,

Ah, girl... girl...

She's the kind of girl who puts you down
when friends are there, you feel a fool,
When you say she's looking good,
She acts as if it's understood,
She's cool, cool, cool, cool,

Ah, girl... girl...

Was she told when she was young that pain would lead to pleasure
Did she understand it when they said,
That a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure,
Will she still believe him when he's dead?

Ah, girl... girl...

The Last Moments of The Dawn

2008-04-22T10:42:00.001+03:00

In the last moments of the dawn,
Before the day begins, before we say goodnight,
Hold me now, kiss me now,
My hands are shaking, and my heart is aching,
At the thought of making love with you,
Tonight, I would never dream that I would fall in love,
And it would be with you,
We're out at sea, just you and me,
Now the wind is blowing, and my passion is growing,
And your eyes are glowing with the light of love;

There is no explanation why it should be this way,
For you and me, must be destiny,
And from a new horizon, you came right out of the blue;

With the last moments of the dawn,
Could be the first day of my life with you;

Hold me now, kiss me again, 'Cos my hands are shaking,
and my heart is aching,
As the dream of making love with you
Comes true...........

In the last moments of the dawn, the last moments of the dawn....

The Girl With April in Her Eyes

2008-04-06T09:37:00.001+03:00

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...

Oh, oh, oh, on and on she goes,
Through the winter's night, the wild wind and the snow,
Hi, hi, hi, on and on she rides,
Someone help the girl with April in her eyes...

She rode through the night till she came to the light,
Of a humble man's home in the woods,
He brought her inside, by the firelight she died,
And he buried her gently and good;
Oh the morning was bright, all the world snow-white,
But when he came to the place where she lay,
His field was ablaze with flowers on the grave,
Of the girl with April in her eyes...

Oh, oh, oh, on and on she goes,
Through the winter's night, the wild wind and the snow,
Hi, hi, hi, on and on she flies,
She is gone, the girl with April in her eyes...

A Woman's Heart

2008-03-04T12:44:00.005+03:00

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,
Could be the biggest mistake that a man can make,

She wants to get near to you,
Don't turn her away,
She wants to get through to you,
She wants to say;

Give me your night,
And I will show you my passion,
Give me your lust,
And I will drink you dry,
Give me your dreams,
And I will show you a lover,
Give me your heart,
and I will hold you close,
And I will love you till the day I die.

A woman's day is filled with longing,
For a little romance and company,
If we don't look or just don't listen,
Could be the biggest mistake that a man can make;

A woman's heart is yours forever,
She will be true, to the one in her life,
If we don't give her love and affection,
Could be the biggest mistake, that a man can make.

Give me your night
And I will show you my passion,
Give me your lust,
And I will drink you dry....

Give me your dreams,
And I will show you a lover,
Give me your heart,
and I will hold you close,
And I will love you till the day I die.

The Ecstasy of Flight (I Love the Night)

2008-02-11T10:19:00.000+03:00

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,
To be somebody else, a complete transformation
From the someone we are in the day;

I hear a noise - there is something going on;
I hear a voice - there is something going on;
I see the boys - there is something going on;
And something is happening to me, yea;

I love the night, I love the night,
I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight,
I love the night, I love the night,
I love to dance with a stranger and feel her delight,
And when the dancing is through, I kick off my shoes,
And I listen to the beating of my heart...

After the fall, then came the hunger
In the hearts of us all, ooh such a hunger
That begins after dark, hides in the heart
Like a wolf that is waiting inside;

I see a light - there is something going on;
It's getting bright - there is something going on;
I look outside - there is something going on;
And someone is calling to me;

I love the night, I love the night,
I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight,
I love the night, I love the night,
I love to be with a stranger and feel her delight,
And when the morning begins, I have to get in
Before sunlight can fall upon my face;

I love the night, I love the night,
I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight,
I love the night, I love the night,

Borderline

2008-02-03T10:39:00.001+03:00

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;

Rolling through the countryside,
Tears are in my eyes,
We're coming to the borderline,
I'm ready with my lies,
And in the early morning rain, I see her there,
And I know I'll have to say goodbye again;

And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do,
I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you,
I'm taking my side, one of us will lose,
Don't let go, I want to know,
That you will wait for me until the day,
There's no borderline, no borderline;

Walking past the border guards,
Reaching for her hand,
Showing no emotion,
I want to break into a run,
But these are only boys, and I will never know,
How men can see the wisdom in a war...

And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do,
I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you,
I'm taking my side, one of us will lose,
Don't let go, I want to know,
That you will wait for me until the day,
There's no borderline, no borderline,
No borderline, no borderline...

The Same Sun

2008-01-10T12:29:00.000+03:00

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,
And like the same moon, that's shining through my window here tonight,
I will watch in your darkness, and bring you safely to the morning light.

Where there is love like this, forever, for all time,
I will be there, wherever you lie,
And where there are hearts that live together in one soul,
Nothing on earth will keep us apart,
And if you're crying inside, 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,
And like the same moon that's shining through my window here tonight,
I will watch in your darkness, and bring you safely to the morning light;
I Love you, I love you, I love you;

And if you're crying inside, remember that I will be here;

Same sun, same moon,
Same sun, same moon,
Same soul, same heart,
Same World, same stars - you will be forever in my world;

Same sun, same moon,
Same sun, same moon,
Same soul, same heart, oh, I love you I love you I love you,
Same world, same stars - you will be forever in my heart.

Old-Fashioned People

2008-01-07T10:36:00.000+03:00

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,

And I thought I heard him say,
Please don't take my dreams away;

They carry me back again, show me that life again,
Carry me back to the places that I knew,
Carry me back again, show me that life again,
Carry me back to the places that I knew...

Old-fashioned lovers, they walk in the park,
Beside the river hand in hand,
And hurry home for tea before it gets dark,

Could be you and me one day,
Time will come when we will say,

Carry me back again, show me that life again,
Carry me back to the places that I knew,
Carry me back again, show me that life again,
Carry me back to the places that I knew;
Carry me back again, show me that life again,
Carry me back to the places that I knew

Just In Time

2008-01-07T10:18:00.000+03:00

Just in time I heard the cry,
And looking up I saw the snowbirds wheeling in the sky;
They said, "We are the last ones left",
And so I brought them in , I gave them comfort, gave them rest,

Just in time, to live another day,
Just in time, oh they'll live another day;

Just in time I read the Book,
Such a revelation, we must give back what we took,
Or the Earth will roar like a wounded beast,
The mountains will come crashing from the valleys to the sea,

Just in time, oh don't throw it all away,
Just in time, don't throw it all away...

"Who will save this world of mine,
Will you save it just in time?"

Just in time, I saw the dawn,
Watched the sun arising on a field of golden corn,
And through the mist, a million sang,
Friends of the Earth, calling out to every man,

Just in time, oh don't throw it all away, no, no, no,
Just in time, oh we'll live another day...

Ooh, how can I tell you how close we have come,
That the end of our world has already begun,
There are so many things we will not see again,
Every day there's another one dying away...

Calling for help,
Help from your hand,
Hand coming down,
Down to the world;
World it is time,
Time for us all,
And all that is life,
To be living together before everything slips away.

Chris De Burgh

Snow Is Falling

2008-01-02T12:45:00.000+03:00

Snow is falling, snow is falling on the ground,
In the forest, in the forest there's no sound;
A shallow grave is where we lie,
The boys and men who died,
And snow is falling on the ground,
And we are calling to be found;

And the seasons, and the seasons come and go,
In the springtime, birds will sing and flowers grow,
At summer's end, the autumn breeze,
Will whisper through the trees,
And leaves are falling on the ground,
And we are calling to be found;

And in our homes, so many tears,
They don't know where we have gone,
And snow is falling on the ground,
And we are calling to be found,
We are calling to be found......

The Traveller

2007-12-11T10:02:00.000+03:00

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 rendez-vous,
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?)
Get back from the bar! A stranger in town is a dangerous sight
(Maybe he's got a gun?)
"Bring a bottle of whisky, landlord, I wanna talk for a while."
And where the traveller goes, a cold wind blows,
Oh, where the traveller goes, a cold wind blows....

There is something in his eyes, something in his hands,
You can almost smell his revenge!
And whoever he is after, it will be disaster:
This man is gonna take him to the very end....

Well, the landlord he trembled, staring at a face he'd seen somewhere before.
(You laid him in the ground)
Suddenly remembers a killing, yes, a murder, many years before.
('Twas you that shot him down)
He said to a boy: "Saddle me the black, I'll meet you down below.
With this man I must talk, yes with this traveller I'll go,
With this man I must talk, yes with him I must go."

There is something in his eyes, something in his hands,
I can almost smell his revenge!
And it's me that he's after, it will be disaster:
This man is gonna take me to the very end....

And they were never seen again!

A Rainy Night in Paris

2007-11-07T12:13:00.000+03:00

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
When there are flowers on the Champs-Elysees."

"How long" she said "How long,
And will your love be strong,
When you're across the sea,
Will your heart remember me?..."

Then she gave him words to turn to,
When the winter nights were long,
"Nous serons encore amoureux
Avec les couleurs du printemps..."

"And then" she said "And then,
Our love will grow again."
Ah but in her eyes he sees
Her words of love are only words to please...

And now the lights of Paris
Grow dim and fade away,
And I know by the light of Paris
I will never see her again...

Chris De Burgh

Something Else Again

2007-09-19T10:15:00.000+04:00

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,
But oh this woman she is something else again,

Oh she is such a frade to me,
Holds me in my tears,
She said "Yes, you will be young again
When you look back through the years"...

So take your woman by the hand, love her till she dies,
Be strong when she needs you, hold her when she cries,
And if a man should say to you, love just brings you pain,
You tell him "No, my woman's something else again,
Oh my woman's something else again, oh my woman's something else again"...

Raging Storm

2007-09-10T12:23:00.001+04:00

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, you have helped me to find myself;

There is a dream that you must follow,
And always listen to your heart - you'll be forever in my life -
And if you need me in some new tomorrow,
Reach out, wherever you are;

And I will fly through the raging storm,
I will rise where others fall,
I will be there where the eagles fly,
I will hear you when you call - and I hate to see you go;

You gave me a life from ashes and dust, from a place where hope was dying,
The girl that you found has become a woman now;

There is a dream that you must follow,
I'll try to listen to my heart,
We'll meet again in some new tomorrow,
I'll find you wherever you are!

And I will fly through the raging storm,
I will rise where others fall,
I will be there where the eagles fly,
I will hear you when you call;

It's time to go - I want to stay - I'll miss you so -
But I believe that we'll meet again someday;

We will be there where the eagles fly, I will hear you when you call,
'Cos I love you.

Chris de Burgh

You Are The Reason

2007-09-09T13:37:00.000+04:00

A shadow in the moonlight, here she comes to me,
We sit and talk about it all,
And out in the distance, a dream is over,
All I've been working for,

This is not how I want you to see me,
I have done the best I can,
Now the only thing I believe in,
Is a woman and a man;

You are the reason I'll stay in the fight
When I can't take it anymore,
You are the reason I wake in the night,
And say that I was only dreaming of it all;

And now in the dawn light, she talks with me again,
Remember all the things we've done
Been through the bad times, and we've
Seen through the sad times,
We're stronger than before;

And you picked me up when I was falling,
And you gave me back my pride,
And you listen when I am calling,
And hear the man inside;

You are the reason I'll stay in the fight,
When I can't take it anymore,
You are the reason I wake in the night,
And say that I was only dreaming of it all,
You are the reason I'll stay in the fight.

The Head and The Heart

2007-08-30T11:11:00.000+04:00

Let us talk no more, let us go to sleep,
Let the rain fall on the window pane,
And fill the castle keep,
I am weary now, weary to my bones,
Weary from the travelling,
And the endless country roads,
That brought us here tonight, for all this weekend,
And a chance to work it out,
For we cannot live together, and we cannot live apart,
It's the classical dilemma between the head and the heart;

She is sleeping now, softly in the night,
And in my heart of darkness she has been the only light,
I am lost in love, looking at her face,
And still I hear the voice of reason,
Telling me to chase these dreams away,
Oh here we go again, we're divided from the start,
For we cannot live together, and we cannot live apart,
It's the classical dilemma between the head and the heart,
The head and the heart;

Now the dawn begins, and still I cannot sleep,
My head is spinning round but now the way is clear to me,
There is nothing left, nothing left to show,
The jury and the judge will see, it's time to let her go,
Now hear the heart:
I believe that time will show,
She will always be a part of my world,
I don't want to see her go;
So I plead my case to hear the heart,
And stay...
It's time to let her go - I don't want to let her go...
It's time to let her go - I don't want to let her go...
It's time to let her go - I don't want to let her go...
It's time to let her go...
And in this classical dilemma,
I find for - the heart.

A Night on the River

2007-08-27T09:48:00.000+04:00

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.

Naked and frozen at the side of a lake,
If she was here I wouldn't hesitate,
To tell her how, the way things are,
With a long conversation in the back of a car,

And it looks like I'm heading for a night on the river,
Under the moon and the stars,
Could be I'm heading for a night on the river,
Just me and my beating heart, singing in the dark;

I think she owes me an explanation,
She's got the whip hand in this situation,
If I try to tell her just the way I feel,
It could start the whole thing all over again,

Ooh, I think I'm heading for a night on the river,
Under the moon and the stars,
Could be I'm heading for a night on the river,
But I see the lights of a car, shining in the dark,

Ooh, could be we're heading for a mm-mm,
Under the moon and the stars,
Could be we're heading for a mm-mm
Just you and me and our beating hearts,
We're singing in the dark...

Songbird

2007-08-19T09:23:00.000+04:00

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,
Will the angels cry like me?

At first alone, then with hundreds around me,
Enchanted by her song,
But as the day is done, and the darkness is falling,
The songbird sings no more;

And now she flies over the rainbow,
And she walks in fields of gold,
And when she sings from the high walls of Heaven,
Will the angels cry like me?

And when she sings from the high walls of Heaven,
Will the angels cry like me, will the angels cry like me?

I'm Going Home

2007-08-13T09:13:00.000+04:00

I left my home by the ocean,
I left my love by the sea,
Dreaming I could sing my songs in the city...

I thought the streets of London
Would be paved with gold,
But the only gold was in the setting sun,
And these city nights are so cold.

And you know that feeling when you've been too long,
And you wanna go home and it's so strong,

I'm going home, I'm going home,
Oh the leaves are falling and the wind is calling
And I must get on the road,
You'll be alone, you'll be alone,
But if you're crying to the rhythm of the falling rain,
It's alright, I'm on my way, I'm going home,
I'm going home, yea...

Jilly she's got a smile in her eye,
And a bed just right for two,
Silly how much I love her, but I do,

Sunny days will be here again,
She whispered in my ear,
Oh Lord it's funny how much I've missed the country rain,
That's a sound I love to hear...

And I know that feeling and I've been too long,
And I wanna go home and it's so strong,

I'm going home, I'm going home,
Oh the leaves are falling and the wind is calling
And I must get on the road,
You'll be alone, you'll be alone,
But if you're crying to the rhythm of the falling rain,
It's alright, I'm on the way, I'm going home,
I'm going home, yea...
Oh hold on darling, I'm going home,
I'm on the way, I'm going home,
I'm going home, Hold on darling...

Fatal Hesitation

2007-08-09T09:14:00.000+04:00

The cafes 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 going to love another, the way that I have loved you,
It's taken me a little time to discover it,
Now I know it's true, but fatal hesitation,
Made me miss the show,

Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
And I know that I have let her slip away,
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation...

I saw you again this morning, walking down the beach,
And though you are a thousand miles away,
You were only just out of reach, but when I got up close,
And I saw her face, I knew it couldn't be so, no, no;

Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
And I, yes I know, I have let her slip away,
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation,
I'm going to get on my boat and sail away;

Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
And I, yes I know, I have let her slip away,
Fatal hesitation,
Fatal hesitation,
Fatal hesitation,
Fatal hesitation...

I'm going to read a little Shakespeare,
And get her out of my head,
It doesn't matter any more,
I'm going to miss her just a little bit,
Just a little bit...

One More Mile To Go

2007-08-06T10:40:00.000+04:00

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,
It's been so long, been away so long,
And I'm nearly home, one more mile to go;

There is joy for loved ones coming home,
And everyone has gone, I'm standing here alone,
But in the shadows I can see her face,
She comes to me, she's here for me;

And now a light is shining round the world,
It's a magic night, for every boy and girl,
'Cos it's the time, when all men dream of peace,
On Christmas eve, we dream of peace,
And we're nearly home, one more mile to go,
Yes we're nearly home, one more mile to go,
And we're nearly home, one more mile to go.

One World

2007-08-06T10:32:00.000+04:00

I can feel it in my blood, I can hear it in my footsteps,
I can see it all around, that everywhere connections
Are breaking away, and people know that something must change, must change;

There are better men than I, who with courage and conviction
Are patrolling the lines, waking up the sleepers who will not decide,
And do not think there's anything wrong;

But we are all living here in this beautiful world, sharing
Sunrises every day, we may have different lives, but for all of us,
Here we will stay;

We're living in one world, sleeping in one world, dreaming
In one world, and no-one's going anywhere,
We're living in one world, working in one world, breathing in one world,
We're just the same as anyone;

I believe there is a God, but it doesn't mean that my God is greater
Than yours, it only means we all have the right to believe, 'cos nobody
Knows it for sure, for sure; if there's a Heaven or Hell, or a sweet Paradise,
Or a place where we all meet again, 'cos with minimal change
Everyone here is the same;

We're living in one world, sleeping in one world, dreaming
In one world, and no-one's going anywhere,
We're living in one world, working in one world, breathing in
One world, we're just the same as anyone,
We're living in one world, sleeping in one world, dreaming in one world,
And no-one's going anywhere;
We're living in one world, working in one world, breathing in one world,
We're just the same as anyone;

Listen to the voice of millions calling me and you,
Take good care of everywhere 'cos this is my home too,
Laughing in one world, crying in one world, hoping in one world,
Praying in one world, trying in one world, this is my home too,
One world, one world, one world, one world,
One world, one world, one world

A New Day Has Come

2007-07-31T09:55:00.000+04:00

I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don't shed a tear

Through the darkness and good times
I knew I'd make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you

Hush, love

I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun
A new day has...come

Where it was dark now there's light
Where there was pain now there's joy
Where there was weakness, I found my strength
All in the eyes of a boy

Hush, love

I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun
A new day has...come

A new day has...come
Ohhh, a light... OOh

Crying and Laughing

2007-07-11T10:09:00.000+04:00

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,

Homeward, back to your world,
Back to the one who is there,
Go now, but go in love,
For it's the only way;

And you'll be crying, laughing,
Half a world away,
You'll be crying, laughing,
For the love we have,
When you go away...

Long ride, holding her hand,
Looking all the words we cannot speak,
One mile to the boulevard,
And the aero plane that's waiting to take you

Homeward, back to your land,
Back to the one who is there,
Go now, but go in love,
For it's the only way,

And you'll be crying, laughing,
Half a world away,
You'll be crying, laughing,
For the love we have,
But you must go,
Crying, laughing,
Half a world away,
You'll be crying, laughing,
Don't forget me love,
When you go away...

I'm Not Crying Over You

2007-07-10T09:00:00.000+04:00

I don't mind this empty room, and I like it when I'm alone,
I'm trying not to think about you, I'm not waiting by the telephone,
I'm watching a late-night movie, where the lovers say goodbye,
And it's really getting to me, and tears are in my eyes,
But I'm not crying, I'm not crying,
I'm not crying over you, I'm over you;

I go out with all of my friends, and I'm hardly ever at home,
You know things just couldn't be better,
I have read it in my horoscope,
I might take a walk past your house, for a trip down memory lane,
You may see me at your window, standing in the pouring rain,
But I'm not crying, I'm not crying,
I'm not crying over you, no I'm not crying,
I'm not crying, I'm not crying, I'm not crying over you,
I'm over you;

No I'm not crying, I'm not crying,
I'm not crying over you, I'm over you,
I'm over you.

Carry Me(Like A Fire In Your Heart)

2007-06-21T09:55:00.000+04:00

There is an answer, some day we will know,
And you will ask her, why she had to go,
We live and die, we laugh and we cry,
And you must take away the pain,
Before you can begin to live again;

So let it start, my friend, let it start,
Let the tears come rolling from your heart,
And when you need a light in the lonely nights,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carre me like a fire in your heart;

There is a river rolling to the sea,
You will be with her for all eternity,
But we that remain need you here again,
So hold her in your memory
And begin to make the shadows disappear;

Yes let it start, my friend, let it start,
Let the love come rolling from your heart,
And when you need a light in the lonely nights,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart;

So let it start, my friend, let it start,
Let the love come rolling from your heart,
And when you need a light in the lonely nights,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart

By My Side

2007-06-21T09:45:00.000+04:00

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;

Whatever it takes ... I have to fight,

To build a better world ... and make it right,

And when I am alone ... it's late at night,

I reach out and you're right here by my side;

When everything has gone,

You help me carry on,

You lift me up, you make me strong,

You give love to see me through,

Oo oo oo what would I do,

Without you by my side,

By my side,

And out here on the flight,

I'm on a wing and a prayer tonight,

The moon is showing me the way to go,

I'm flying forever

I've got what it takes ... to win the fight,

And build a better world ... and make it right,

But when I am alone ... it's late at night,

I reach out and you're here by my side,

When everything has gone,

You help me carry on,

You lift me up, you make me strong,

You give love to see me through,

Oo oo oo what would I do,

Without you by my side,

Always you're in my heart,

Always by my side,

Always you're in my life,

Always right here, and I love you now,

Always you're in my world,

Always I think what would I do without you, without you,

By my side,

Always you're in my heart...

And I need you now...

Broken Wings

2007-06-21T09:31:00.000+04:00

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,

In broken dreams that keep me from sleeping,
I remember all the things I said,
Well I've broken all the promises,
I said I would be keeping,
They're gone, like leaves they fell,
For it's so hard when you're far away,
All I needed was a shoulder I could cry on,
Now these broken dreams have woken me,
My love, will you carry me home।

Or will you treat me like some traveler,
On a dark and lonely road,
Who sees a light and a woman who will give him love,
Oh and just when she reaches the part,
When she's supposed to comfort his broken heart,
She turns away, and sends him traveling on, on,

Oh when I left I believed that nothing would go wrong,
I thought the whole world would be waiting for my story,
Take me back, my love, I need you now,
Come back and carry me home,
Take me back and heal these broken wings,
Come back and carry me home

Day After Day

2007-05-03T12:34:00.000+04:00

I could never hear you when you told me that you loved me,
I could never hear you when you called my name,
I could only listen to the beat of my own heart,
I could never hear you at all;

I could never see it when you needed some affection,
And I could never see it when you lost your way,
And I could not see you leaving me until it was too late,
I could never see it at all;

Oh day after day I was lost in my own world,
Did you call me to be here again,
And night after night did you dream of a lover
Who would come here and take you away?

It is never easy to give up and just surrender,
But that is now exactly what I have to do,
You were always there beside me, but I hardly knew it,
So here¹s a promise to you;

Oh day after day I will be there in your world,
I want you to come back again,
And night after night I will give you my love,
And I will tenderly take you away;

And I will always listen to things that need saying,
And I will always hear you, when you want me,
We had something so beautiful but I did not see it,
Till all the beauty had gone, and I need you,
Day after day, day after day.

The Simple Truth (a child is born)

2007-05-02T10:02:00.000+04:00

A child is born on a battlefield,

A soldier boy falls to his knees,
And a woman cries in joy and pain,
When will we all live in peace again?

A child is born where the wild wind blows,
In a country torn from the south to the north,
And a family runs from day to day,
When will we see our home again?

When will we see the simple truth,
That the only thing that's worth a damn,

The life of a child is more than a forest,
The life of a child is more than a border,
Could ever be;

A child is born in the desert sun,
A tiny life has just begun,
And a mother cries for her hungry babe,
When will I feed my boy again?

A child is born to an ordinary home,
East or west, it could be anyone,
But we all want to know,
Will my child survive to see the day,
When we will be secure again?

When will we see the simple truth,
That the only thing that's worth a damn,

The life of a child is more than a forest,
The life of a child is more than a border,
The life of a child is more than a region,
The life of a child is only a heartbeat from eternity,
We must believe, for the sake of humanity,
We must believe...

For the sake of humanity, we must believe.

Diamond In The Dark

2007-04-30T11:12:00.000+04:00

Is it real, what I feel, is it love,

Is it love that's making me weak, in the night,

And when she's next to me,

I just stumble on my words,

And all the things I want to say,

Come out wrong,

I am lost in a dream,

But I know this is more than it seems,

I need a little help;

Someone put on a love song,

To bring her closer to me,

All I want is this diamond in the dark,

To begin what must be;

When she turns at her name, when she smiles,

When she smiles, I feel it again, in my heart,

Across the crowded room,

She is just a dance away,

And I can feel her like a fire that's burning strong,

She keeps looking at me,

And I know this was all meant to be,

And then it had to come;

Someone put on a love song,

To bring her closer to me,

All I want is this diamond in the dark,

To begin what must be,

All I want is this diamond in the dark,T

o begin what must be,

All I want is this diamond in the dark,

to begin what must be,

All I want is this diamond in the dark,

to begin what must be.

Every Drop of Rain

2007-04-30T10:54:00.000+04:00

They say there will be rain tonight,
But that's okay, we'll stay inside,

This is the first time I have felt so satisfied,

I know love has found me;

And now the night, is getting wild,

And she is sleeping like a child,

And though I know, I know I should

be dreaming,

I'm tossing and turning, 'cos I wonder,

Yes I wonder, how it began,

Growing in the forests and the freeways,

Minute by minute she became a part of me,

And suddenly love is here and I'm falling,

Just like every drop of rain,

Many drops can someday make a river,

And many rivers go down to the sea,

And the sea rolls on forever, forever,

And now I'll sleep til morning light,

I have no fear of stormy nights,

Because the one that I have wanted

all my life,

Is right here beside me, and I wonder,

Oh the wonder, how it began,

Growing in the forests and the freeways,

Minute by minute she became a part of me,

And suddenly love is here and I'm falling,

Just like every drop of rain,

Many drops can someday make a river,

And many rivers go down to the sea,

And the sea rolls on forever,

Oh oh every drop of rain...

Fire on the Water

2007-04-30T10:43:00.000+04:00

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

I can see the light shining in your eyes

I know that I can't stop it now

'Cos I've been caught in the heat of the sun...

There's a place and an ancient fortress

High above the worries of the world

I'd love you there for a long, long time

And we'll discover all our deepest secrets

And let the spirit go flying free

Until the dawn breaks over the sea

It's burning like fire on the water

I can see the light shining in your eyes

I know that I can't stop it now

'Cos I've been caught in the heat of the sun

Yes I've been caught in the heat of the sun

Oh let it shine on me

And I can see the fire on the water

I can see the light shining in your eyes

I know that I can't stop it now

'Cos I've been caught in the heat of the sun

Yes I've been caught in the heat of the sun

Oh let it shine on me

And I can see the fire on the water

Can't stop it now...

My Lover Is

2007-04-30T10:27:00.000+04:00

My lover is a morning with the sun,

Another day with her has just begun,
She's waking me up to see her world,

My lover is the light;

My lover is a chance to play the fool,

To shake a lot of trees and break the rules,

She's bringing me back the boy inside,

My lover gives me time;

And all through the days, there are so many ways to love her,

Its easy to do, when the heart and the soul are true;

My lover has the meaning of success,

She's telling me that I can be the best,

But if I should fail at least I've tried,

My lover has it right;

And all through the days,

There are so many ways to love her,

It's easy to do, when the heart and the soul are true,

My lover is a dancer in the dark,

Whispering the secrets in her heart,

She's opening up to my desire,

My lover in the night;

She is the morning sun,

She's the one,

Bringing me back,

The boy inside,

My lover in the night,

My lover is the light,

My lover has it right,

My lover is my life.

Alwyas On My Mind

2007-04-30T10:03:00.000+04:00

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;

Maybe I didn't hold you all those lonely, lonely nights,

And I guess I never told you, I'm so happy that you're mine,

If I made you feel second best, I'm so sorry, I was blind,

You were always on my mind,

You were always on my mind;

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died,

Give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied,

If I made you feel second best, I'm so sorry, I was blind,

You were always on my mind,

You were always on my mind.

Another Rainbow

2007-04-25T10:34:00.000+04:00

Breaking bread and drinking wine, talking deep into the night,

Just dreaming dreams and making plans forever,

We have been the best of friends, and always said since way back when,

We'd change the world with mad ideas together;

Another rainbow to follow with you,

Another dream that may never come true,

It is better to have tried in vain than never try at all,

Another rainbow where gold may fall;

So we went our different ways, and though I had my darkness days,

I sailed the stars and I found what I was looking for,

You became a jack of trades, ace of all and king of none,

With hands that hurt from knocking on so many doors;

Another rainbow to follow with you,

Another dream that may never come true,

It is better to have tried in vain than never try at all,

Another rainbow where gold may fall;

And there will always be these moments, when you can turn to me again;

Another rainbow to follow with you,

Another crazy dream that just might come true,

'Cos it is better to have tried in vain than never try at all,

Another rainbow where gold may fall.

Chris De Burgh

Here Is Your Paradise

2007-04-25T10:24:00.000+04:00

I never knew love could be a silence in my 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,

On a day that you may not have seen,

And all I've been searching for, well words could never say,

When a touch is more than anything;

Maybe you will never know how much I love you,

But of this, be sure;

Here is your paradise, here is your book of life,

Where you and I will be forevermore;

Here is your paradise, here is your book of life,

You and I will be forevermore;

And in the dark night, you'll follow the bright light

And go where the love must go,

And you will wake in the morning to a brand new day,

Take all your worries away;

Maybe you will never know how much I love you,

But of this, be sure,

Here is your paradise, here is your book of life,

Where you and I will be forevermore;

Here is your paradise, here is your book of life,

Where you and I will be forevermore;

Lonely Sky

2007-04-25T10:16:00.000+04:00

That 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,

When winter's here and summer's really over,

Even the birds have packed up and gone,

They're flying south with their song,

And my love, she too has gone, she had to fly,

Take care, it's such a lonely sky,

They'll trap your wings my love and hold your flight,

They'll build a cage and steal your only sky,

Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high,

I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky...

The old cathedral lights are low

She and I we'd often go there

To admire and sometimes kneel in prayer;

Lords and ladies lie in stone,

Hand in hand from long ago,

And though their hands are cold they'll love forever,

Even the choir rehearses those songs

For Christmas is not long.

And alone, I sing my song, she had to fly.

Out there it's such a lonely sky,

They'll trap your wings my love and hold your flight,

They'll build a cage and steal your only sky,

Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high,

I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky...

Fly away, fly to me, and if you need my love,

I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky...

I'll come in with the dawn,

I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky...

On the wings of the mourn,

I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky...

Above the world we'll be flying,

I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky...

And though their hands are cold they'll love forever.

Chris De Burgh
