Back To Earth
I've been so sad since you went away
I've been so lost without you
I wanted to be there
I wanted to hold on and tell you
How much, how much I loved you
I never thought that this day would come
Never dreamed we'd have to part
And now that you're gone and there's only memories
It's left such a hole, hole in my heart

Whenever skies are cloudy and the raindrops fall
I pray that you'll be waiting to catch me when I fall
So many words that were left unsaid
So many things still to share
Amd through all the tears and all of the memories
I hope that you know how much I cared

If I could have you back I wouldn't waste a minute
A lifetime wasn't long enough, I needed you for ever
The love of a father, the friendship of a brother
You took a piece of me with you and it will never be returned
Until we meet again and things will be the same

Whenever skies are cloudy and the raindrops fall
I pray that you'll be waiting to catch me when I fall
I've been so sad since you went away
I've been so lost without you
I wanted to be there
I wanted to hold on and tell you
How much, how much I loved you

I never thought that this day would come
Never dreamed we'd have to part
And now that you're gone and there's only memories
It's left such a hole, hole in my heart

If I could have you back again I wouldn't waste a minute
A lifetime wasn't long enough, I needed you for ever

Beyond The Grave
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 endeavours 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
And all is darkness where we fall
Like brave Explorers bold and free
We sail forever on the sea!!

Above the seven seas is one
The sea of life we drift upon
Our spirits living in the waves
Survive beyond the grave!

Crazy City
Running alone in the crazy city
Look at the face of once were pretty
People then wonder what happened
To make it that way
Listen around you, have you heard?
Climb on the back of a silver bird
London to L.A. before you can think
What to say

Stop awhile, take a smile
Know that you're living in today
Up and down, look around
No need to hide yourself away

Out in the country's where I'm going
Back where the tree of life's still growing
Take a free ride where the tide
Flows the way of your heart

Follow the wild dove where he's flying
Out where the sun is never crying
Wait at the gate or they'll stop you
And blow you apart

Stop awhile, take a smile
Know that you're living in today
Up and down, look around
No need to hide yourself away

Echoes And Shadows
Here lie the towers so tall
Strange, they tumble and fall
Time softly playing the chord
Could be lost in the void
Do your eyes see it all?

Gone like the dreams that you made
Sad how memory fades
Drawn by the mystical sight
There's a voice in the night
And your eyes see it all

Stay with me
All I want from you
Just stay with me
All I want to do
Is look in your eyes
And sail on through the night

Echoes and shadows
Drift through tomorrow's
Dreams that you follow
In the dark

Fools are entranced by the dawn
But the wise man misses it all
He laughs and the pages are torn
While the intellect scorns
As he clutches the straws

Stay with me
All I want from you
Just stay with me
All I want to do
Is look in your eyes
And sail on through the night

Echoes and shadows
Drift through tomorow's
Dreams that you follow
In the dark

Fifties Child
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
Fifties child was right to believe
Peace and love were our needs
The need to be free

War is a lesson we've had to learn
We had to learn to kill, to destroy and burn
But our spirits cry, renew our faith
Peace is a lesson we've yet to learn
A prize for all mankind who race for the gain
Of love and harmony, renew our faith

Renew our faith, let us see
Fifties child was right to believe
Peace and love were our needs
The need to be free

Renew our faith, let us see
Young and old we're right to believe
Peace and love are our needs
The need to be free

Happy Old World
Looking like something from out of space we came
Nothing much to look at, but did he complain?
He didn't mind us being here to live in peace and grace
What we're doing to him now could put us back in space
We're thinking like some creatures off the ocean floor
Losing sight of what we've really come here for
Can I be heard above the sounds of prejudice and hate?
Take time to look around before it gets too late
It's a happy old world
Give and take a bit
That's what you make of it
A happy old world
But I'm sorry to be leaving it
It's a happy old world
Give and take a bit
That's what you make of it
A happy old world
But I guess I still, I still believe in it
It's a happy old world

We're tearing up the rivers and a thousand streams
And highways, they're in places where they've never been
We're building towers in the sky and racing for the sun
Oh Lord, any eye can see what harm we've done
I need some help to get myself out of this maze
We can both just say goodbye and go our separate ways
My mind's not on this song I sing, my heart's not in the lines
Guess I'll go and kill myself, so would you kindly close the blinds

Oh a happy old world
Give and take a bit
That's what you make of it
A happy old world
But I'm sorry to be leaving it
It's a happy old world
Give and take a bit
That's what you make of it
A happy old world
But I guess, guess I still believe in it
It's a happy old world

Hymn
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, dear 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
The people said it was a virgin birth

He told great stories of the Lord
And said he was the saviour of us all
He told great stories of the Lord
And said he was the saviour of us all

For this they/we killed him, nailed him up high
He rose again as if to ask us why
Then he ascended into the sky
As if to say in God alone you soar
As if to say in God alone we fly.

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, dear God, you might not come down

If Love Is King
a blind man in the night
looking for a way down
prophet of an unknown
just looking for a way home
a rich man taking fright
looking for the low down
guru of the jet set
just looking for a safe bet

if love is king, who wears the crown
if music be the food of love
then someone ate the crown

a no count in the light
looking for a way out
saviour of the closed door
just looking for a cool floor
and you're out feeling great
shooting for a high break
prisoner of the real king
just looking for a sure thing

if love is king, who wears the crown
if music be the food of love
if love is king, who wears the crown
if music be the food of love
then someone ate the crown

Looking From The Outside
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

I might as well fall
I might as well drift away
I might as well fall
It seems there is no other way
Looking from the outside
Looking from the outside
Looking for the inside of you

If I say that I like your song
Will you say that you played it wrong
Or that maybe I stayed too long
Looking from the outside
If I say that you're out of line
Will you say that I'm wasting time
'Cos it's making me feel that I'm
Looking from the outside

I might as well fall
I might as well drift away
I might as well fall
It seems there is no other way
Looking from the outside
Looking from the outside

Medicine Man
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
Of mirrored passages that throw a thousand images
Of younger days
The wheel spins slower as it calls us back to play

Round and round now we go
Shout your name to the wind
As it spins by your side
Coloured lights echo as the sound slips on by
Could that have been me?

Pools Of Tears
The truth is never easy
And the game of life is hard
It's Devil take the loser
When love is hard to find
I'm living in a cold world
And winter's got my heart
I thought it was for ever
Right from the start

Just when I thought that I'd got things right
You turned your back on me
Just when I thought that
I'd worked things out
You said please set me free
Turned your back on me

It wasn't just a good thing
I never would have stayed
You brought me to your altar
And at your feet I prayed
Your beauty I believed in
And no shadow crossed my heart
I thought it was for ever
Right from the start

Just when I thought that I'd got things right
You turned your back on me
Just when I thought that I'd worked things out
You said please set me free
Turned your back on me

Why did I never think the clouds would break
The sky would rain a pool of tears
Now as the mist comes down this voice cries out in fear
Where are you, why are you not here?

Just when I thought that I'd got things right
You turned your back on me
Just when I thought that I'd worked things out
You said please set me free

Just when I thought that I'd got things right
You turned your back on me
Just when I thought that I'd worked things out
You said please set me free and
Turned your back on me
Just turned your back on me

Looking for the inside of you

Silver Wings
Did we take away the daylight from our life?
Dreams are over, faded with the night
We've been here so long, didn't we see the way
Love grown cold as ice melted with the rain
After all these years
Can't believe it's true
Is it really over
After all that we've been through?
I need you here
To take away the pain
I just want to be with you again

Did you see the way
We broke the things we made
Gone forever, never be the same
Torn away on "silver wings"
Love like lightning ended in the rain
After all this time
You're still the only one
Can't be over, all we've said and done

I need you back
To take away the pain
I just want to be with you again
