Angel eyes
high above suspicion.
What you do?
Nobody questions why.
Set your watch.
Another situation.
And you believe
she’ll run away with you.

So wonderful for you.
That makes you happy.
How wonderful to see
that you can get to dream.
So wonderful a dream.
The pressure on you
to keep her in your heart
as mine is dying.

Do something for your love
if anybody wants you.
Something for your love.
Anybody wants you.
Something for your love.
Anybody wants you.
Something for your love.
Anybody wants you.

Body moves,
changes her position
into view.
Let the people stare.
She don’t care.
She got no competition.
She plays that game
that only she can win.

So wonderful for you.
That makes it easy.
Both fighting for your heart
as mine is dying.

Do something for your love
if anybody wants you.
Something for your love.
Anybody wants you.
Something for your love.
Anybody wants you.
Something for your love.
Anybody wants you.

All of me
with all of you.
You just got to do.

Do something for your love

Something for your love.
Anybody wants you.
Something for your love.

Oh yeah. One, two, three, four.
 
Ah…
 
I never fell in love so easily.
Where the four winds blow I carry on.
I’d like to take you where my spirit flies,
through the empty skies.
We go alone.
Never before
having flown
 
Faster than lightening is this heart of mine.
In the face of time I carry on.
I’d like to take you where my rainbow ends.
Be my lover friend.
We go alone.
Never before
having flown.
 
I am your hurricane,
your fire in the sun.
How long must I live
in the air?
 
You are my paradise,
my angel on the run.
How long must I wait?
It’s the dawn of the feeling
that starts from the moment you’re there.
 
You’ll never know what you have done for me.
You broke all those rules I live upon.
I’d like to take you to my shangri-la,
neither here or far,
away from home.
Never before
having flown.
 
I am your hurricane,
your fire in the sun.
How long must I live
in the air?
 
You are my paradise,
my angel on the run.
How long must I wait?
It’s the dawn of the feeling
that starts from the moment you’re there.
 
There I’d like to take you where my spirit flies
through the empty skies.
We go alone.
Never before
having flown.

    Mmm yeah ahh ohh
Mmm yeah ahh ohh

I heard that it existed, but I
never thought that it’d be my destiny
to fall for one so deeply,
alright.

Girl, you are a blessing, so I’m
treading oh very carefully
just to see you there is enough for me.
Ah.

There you go, so precious,
so graceful, baby. I surrender.
You love me perfectly,
you’re loving me.

Others may come,
I ain’t searching for no one.
You are my very own angel here with me.
Oh baby.

I’ve always tried to stop myself from
falling victim of love.
Only brings you pain.
For some reason now
I’m not afraid, oh no, no.

You showed me the love to be embraced,
to accept it and don’t run away.
Girl, it’s so easy with you here by my side.
Let you inside.
You’re my world and my pride.

There you go, so precious,
so graceful, baby. I surrender.
You love me perfectly,
perfectly, oh baby.

Others may come,
I ain’t searching for no one
no one, yeah.
You are my very own angel here with me.
Oh yeah.

I’m so grateful for what God has done,
created my one and only,
someone, someone.
And you’re like a miracle,
a guiding light for me.

So I’m here explaining
just how special you are to me,
ah girl…

There you go, so precious,
so graceful, baby. I surrender.
You love me perfectly,
you’re loving me.

Others may come,
I ain’t searching for no one.
You are my very own angel here with me.

The sun shines down on a South Dakota morning,
and I can see their faces in my eyes.
I wish they were behind me.
My enemy can find me
if only to remind me
that I’m really not alone.
All the South Dakota mornings I have known.
 
The eagle flies on a South Dakota morning,
and I don’t see my eagle anymore.
Now, stranger, I must kill you.
You must survive but will you.
I may just beat you down,
but will it even up the score?
I think I saw the eagle just once more.
 
The rain comes down on a South Dakota morning,
and I can’t see the sadness in my town.
So let it be my pillow
for underneath your willow.
Wanna go back to you though you’re nothing but a town
on the South Dakota grass I lay me down.

I see the moon, I see the sky.
I see reflections in my eyes.
And there’s no one to share my life.
 
I need a life to go my way.
So every night I pray.
Just give me someone for my life.
 
I feel a clown.
People try to play me down.
And there’s one thing I never found.
The sound of love.
 
See the old man walk the lane.
See him walk along in pain.
It makes me cry to see them smile.
 
I watch the moon, I watch the sky.

Go on with your song, bird,
you can’t go wrong, bird,
you will go on and on, bird,
like you did before.
 
Though your wings are broken
the sky is so wide open,
and the wind is waiting for you
like an open door.
 
Though you go so far away,
your voice will still be heard so well,
you’ll never really ever know
how beautiful you are.
 
When the moon is on the rise
I’ll try to make my songbird fly,
I wonder if he ever will
and, if he really did, how far.
 
Go on with your song, bird,
you can’t go wrong, bird,
you will go on and on, bird,

Go on with your song, bird,

Wait for us
Somewhere.

There’s a time for us.
Some day a time for us,
Time together with time spare,
Time to look, time to care
Some day!

Somewhere
We’ll find a new way of living,
We’ll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere.

There’s a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we’re half way there.
Hold my hand and I’ll take you there.
Somehow,
Some day,
Somewhere.

We all need somebody,
some stranger in the dark.
You know I really love to love you.
I gave it everything I got,
to find you in someone else’s arms.
But I was always dreaming of you.
 
The kind of love you follow.
Not without a reason.
Every last tomorrow.
Every single season.
 
Hold me in your power.
Drag me through the fire.
Watch me writhe in agony.
Make me bleed and all I need
is someone to believe in.
Someone to believe in.
Someone to believe in.
Someone to believe in
Why I need someone to believe in.
 
Black night and thunder.
Under your spell, you see the man
with the urge to go home with you.
One soul forever lost
in your far off distant land.
No one watches you like I do.
 
All of life’s emotions.
All that love can give you
to convey the feeling.
Someone’s got to love you right now.
 
Hearts of fire
burning in the night
tell you that’s what love is
but what I really mean is
all I need is someone to believe in.
Someone to believe in.
Someone to believe in.
Someone to believe in.
Someone to believe in.
Someone to believe in.
All I need, all I need.
 
Hold me in your power.
Drag me through the fire.
Watch me writhe in agony.
Make me bleed and all I need is
someone to believe in…

It wasn’t what you said.
It’s knowing what you mean.
You wanna spread your wings and fly
where the moment takes you off.
Trying hard to be
someone you ain’t.
 
It wasn’t how you laughed
that taught me how to cry.
Convincing me your heart is
a million dreams away.
Trying hard to be
someone you ain’t.
 
You came along when I was down
and found a place within me.
All the love I ever had cannot
replace the things you did.
I’m still in love with you and
even though you’re gone
I gotta try, gotta try,
gotta try, gotta try.
 
Someday I’m gonna win
and get back to your arms.
And here am I alone
with a memory of you.
Trying hard to be, someone I ain’t.
 
We held it in, we gave it out.
There wasn’t any quarter.
All the pieces fell apart.
It still ain’t like it ought to be.
I’m still in love with you.
Even though you’re gone.
I gotta try, gotta try,
gotta try, gotta try.
 
You came along when I was down
and found a place within me.
All the love I ever had cannot

I’m still in love with you.
Even though you’re gone
I gotta try, gotta try,

I know how I feel,
lonely in the black of night.
There can be no love for me now.
Nobody listens when the words ain’t right.
 
And you get into someone else.
It’s hard for me to know
who’s lovin’ who,
 
and where do I stand,
what did I do it all for.
There’s no one I could love more.
I did it for your heart alone.
 
All that I try to be growing inside to me.
I can be strong if you’re there.
 
And there is someone belonging to someone.
And I got no one belonging to me,  me.
 
I’m caught in a world where the face of an angel
is all that a fool can see.
You got the power to find me whenever I’m lost.
 
Where are you? Who are we, we?
 
I believe in time.
Can eat away a heart of stone.
And baby, if I leave you too late,
it’s just a feather and the bird has flown (in your eyes).
 
It’s colder when the fire dies,
with all the trouble I’m in if I lose you too.
 
Then what is my life
if I don’t wanna go through
anything without you?
Couldn’t be a life at all.
      
I could be lying on.
You are the only one.
We didn’t make it by chance.
 
And there is someone belonging to someone.
And I got no one belonging to me.
 
I’m caught in a world on the edge of tomorrow.
It’s all that a fool can find.
I don’t belong in the arms of a love that is lost.
 
Nowhere to cry.
There must be something we can say, my love,
something except goodbye.
 
Then what is my life
if I don’t wanna go through
anything without you?
Couldn’t be a life at all.
 
I could be lying on.
You are the only one.
We didn’t make it by chance.
 
And there is someone belonging to someone
And I got no one belonging to me.
 
And there is someone belonging to someone (someone belonging to me)
And I got no one belonging to me (no one belong, no one belong, ah)…

I knew inside of me it will be done.

Somebody stop the music.
Somebody stop the tune.
Somebody crown the clown with the red balloon.

Somebody stop the music.
Somebody stop the tune.
Somebody crown the clown with the red balloon.

I arose,
the truth will out the more I see it grows.
It’s not a mystery,
no one was hiding it from me.

Somebody stop the music.

Somebody crown the clown with the red balloon.

Somebody stop the music.

Don’t love ya, baby don’t love ya.

 I memorise, I walk in line,
carry my sacrifice for the sake of the millions.
All night you be the light on the water,
you be the pride and the sorrow,
shower your love to me there.

Summer died before the rain,
unify every soul together be lonely.
Ride on, follow me to the sunrise,
save me the world that is broken,
nothing but love to be there.

Soldiers, father and son,
we’re soldiers, nowhere to run,
we fight or we die,
for what are we living for?
Boys never cry.

Soldiers, mother and child,
we’re soldiers, the meek and the mild,
we stand or we fall.

Never mind, dry your eyes,
you’ll never be far away,
forever beside me.
Hold out, I will be your tomorrow,
I will walk through the fire,
nothing but love to be there.

Soldiers, father and son,
we’re soldiers, nowhere to run,
we fight or we die,
for what are we living for?
Boys never cry.

Soldiers, mother and child,
we’re soldiers, the meek and the mild,

I’m a little misunderstood,
living all the daydreams and nightmares
don’t do me no good.
I’m a little bit on the moon
but when the word is you love me
no moment is too soon.

All night give me the light on the water,
give me the pride and the sorrow,
shower your love to me there.

Soldiers, father and son,
we’re soldiers, nowhere to run,
we fight or we die,
for what are we living for?

With these words we speak of love.
It’s hard for us to end.
It’s all a fallacy
that people do pretend.

The changes that I see,
I tremble and I shake,
were down in history
for only one mistake.

So far so good.
So far so good.
Twentieth century, sole survivor.
So far so good.
No neighbourhood.
I can’t escape your fire.

I won’t be far away.
Don’t worry about the night.
And I will take away
the trouble in your life.

When danger follows
it will take you by surprise.
No desert island
you can run to when you hide.

So far so good.
So far so good.
Twentieth century, sole survivor.
So far so good.
No neighbourhood.
I can’t escape your fire.

It’s such a tragedy
to fight for what we cannot win.
And all our golden days are gone forever.

When I was a boy
all the books I read
I followed like a blind man
to heed the words my father said.
 
Those golden summers faded into night,
words become a dream,
the echoes of my childhood
and where the path is winding.
 
May God bless you,
keep you safe from all harm.
Oh, may I stand by you always.
Time and motion.
Hands touch,
lips find a way to heaven on high.
 
Watch the children play,
the child becomes a man,
and all the tangled webs we weave,
you swear it as we live and breath.
We stay together, death until you part.
Winner takes the prize.
The future’s at your finger tips,
right before your eyes.
 
No more sorrow (smoke and mirrors).
No more nights with no end. (I really learned a lot)
I see my tomorrows (smoke and mirrors)
.
And nothing from nothing.
And ashes to ashes, they say.
All the more that you reach out
the more that it runs away.
 
Smoke and mirrors.
Smoke and mirrors.
 
(No more goodbyes.)
That’s all I ever got, smoke and mirrors.
(No lies, you find your way there,)
She show me what she’s got, smoke and mirrors.
(heaven on high.)
 
May God bless you,
keep you safe from all harm.
Oh, may I stand by you always.

Hands touch, (that’s all I ever got)
lips find a way to heaven on high (smoke and mirrors).
 
No more sorrows

No more nights with no end.

Sinking ships,
watching them sail in the sun as it sinks in the sea.
Crashing planes,
only the eyes of the doomed with a smile on their face.

So I say to myself that it’s real
Take a look inside myself.
and I feel

Coloured cups,
windows that slide up and down with a squeak in the side.
Funny day,
banging the door to a close as it’s hurting my knee.

So I say to myself that it’s real
Take a look inside myself.
