See the cracks upon the wall.
We do not know the meaning of it all.
Ain’t no fire to warm my feet.
Ain’t got a nickel for a bit to eat.
 
We’re not working,
we’re not slaving.
Ain’t worth a brain,
‘cause we’re not worth saving.
 
Second hand people,
tall as a steeple,
aofter than treacle,
in a pond are we
second hand people.
 
Ain’t no mirror to comb my face.
Just keep on going from place to place.
Ain’t got no lights above my head.
Don’t even bother to leave my bed.
 
We’re not living,
we’re existing.
We’re not moving,
just resisting.
 
Second hand people,
tall as a steeple,
softer than treacle,
in a pond are we
second hand people,
tall as a steeple,
softer than treacle….

Now it is the time we all come together.
Now it is the time we all stand as one.
Counting our blessings and loving each other.
Now and forever roll away roll.
 
Seasons may come and seasons may go.
The days and the months and the years
roll away, away,
roll away, roll away, roll away, roll.
 
The seasons they roll away, roll away, roll.
 
Mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers,
so many friends too countless to name
sharing a vision of love in the world,
now and forever roll away roll.

Seasons may come and seasons may go.
The days and the months and the years
roll away, away,
roll away, roll away, roll away, roll.
 
The seasons they roll away, roll away, roll.

Here we are holding hands
lovers of light
roll away, roll away, roll.
The sable’s in sunbeams
in sweet conversation
The young dreams and old dreams
in twilight the stories untold
(A dream of rainbow)
We all dream of castles of love.
Seasons may come and seasons may go.
The days and the months and the years
roll away, away,
roll away, roll away, roll away, roll.
 
The seasons they roll away, roll away, roll.
roll away, roll away, roll away, roll.
The seasons they roll away, roll away, roll.

    I been searchin’, sailing never ending streams.
I been working, trying to find out what life means.
No one knows how much I been trying to get through.
Searchin’ all my life for you, girl.

Wishing on a dream that never ends.
Being foolish, trying to chase the world away.
I keep looking around to see if there’s a rainbow there for me.
Searchin’ for you endlessly.

Whenever I end up hurting someone,
I always hurt myself.
If only I could live my life over again.
I’d like to be somebody else (oh yes, I would, girl),
Searchin’ for you love everywhere.
I keep looking around to see if there’s a rainbow there for me.
I’m searchin’ for you endlessly.

Searchin’, sailing never ending streams.
I been working so hard, trying to find out what life means.
No one knows how much I been trying to get through.

Don’t let the day keep moving on
with tears and pride,
they hide the sun.
Look to the road that lies ahead.
I’m turning to the dream we left to die.
 
Dying alone,
cry for the moment you passed me by.
Baby I don’t now how,
I’m only crying now.
 
Search, find.
No stone unturned, no hell, no fury gonna stop my love and all its glory.
Search, find.
No man, no god, no pain can sever my love for you, God.
We’re forever.
 
Don’t lose the will to make it right.
A day is just a brighter night.
And from the flames, a dying love can learn to fly
and rise above and be..
 
All that we are.
You are the heart of my everything.
Maybe I lose my mind,
I’m not the losing kind.
 
Search, find.
No stone unturned, no hell, no fury gonna stop my love and all its glory.
Search, find.
No man, no god, no pain can sever my love for you, God.
We’re forever.

Yesterday was history.
Who knows what there is gonna be

Will you smile and tell the world about me?
Can there be no doubt about me, I was your friend.
 
As I gaze upon a sea of smiling faces,
walk amongst the glow of moonlit places,
the look in your eyes, to see your smile
won’t bring you back to me.
 
I remember things we planned
the world would never understand
but we found a way;
and the world of love you gave to me.
Each moment is a memory
whatever they say.
 
As I gaze upon a sea of smiling faces,
walk amongst the glow of moonlit places.
The look in your eye, to see your smile
won’t bring you back to me.
 
For the look in your eye, to see your smile
won’t bring you back to me.

Steamboats on rainy days.
I can sit still
For hours and hours.
My face on the window-sill.
 
Storm on a mountain.
The picture I choose.
The places I go to
is where I can never be.
 
Gone is the carnival
when I had waited so long.
 
I still believe in the sunglow, the sun.
Dawn of my feelings, the light of my days.
We steamed every moment.
If only to prove we’re alive.
And we don’t believe in
saying goodbye.
Saying goodbye.
 
I still go back to
my wonderful world.
The child in the waters.
The tall ships, the harbour lights.
 
The heart still remembers
the friends that I made.
They call in my dreams
with their hand reaching out to me.
 
Who’s gonna tell you
the last bedtime story you hear?
 
I still believe in the sunglow, the sun.
Dawn of my feelings, the light of my days.
I turned around the corner and somebody said I’m alive.
Somebody heard I was praying.
Saying goodbye.
Saying goodbye.

    All of a sudden I saw a new morning.
I’m locked up and I want to be free.
Out in the courtyard and over the wall then
My friends are waiting for me.

 

Sixteen people are waiting to get me,
hoping to take me outside.
I hear the sound of the snub nose behind me,
I went along for the ride.

Wind in my face and my bones they are aching.
My soul must weather the storm (ah).
I must run till my back it is breaking,
desperat’ly I must keep on

Sixteen people are waiting to get me,
hoping to take me outside.
I hear the sound of the snub nose behind me,
I went along for the ride.

La, la, la…

All of a sudden I saw a new morning,

I can’t stand the morning light
Now you’re gone there ain’t no one to make it right
the way you do
Every day I fall more in love with you
Knowing that you let this heart of mine
be captured at the start
And I know you know that I can’t get through
Am I living a lie when I reach for you

You gotta save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm above the storm
You gotta save me, save me
You know there ain’t a world enough without your love

Gotta lay my head rest my heart
Dream my dreams, but they’re all of you
And they fall apart the way I do
every night I fall more in love with you
Praying for the day you’ll turn around
And make your love all mine
When a man goes down for the very last time
You can throw him a line
You can keep him alive

Ooh, baby save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm above the storm
Why don’t you save, me save me
You know there ain’t a world enough without your love

When do I get to be near you for all time
When do I get to be near you
When a man goes down for the very last time
You can throw him a line
You can keep him alive Ooh

Save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm above the storm
Why don’t you save me save me
You know there ain’t a world enough without your love (love)
You gotta…

Save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm above the storm
Why don’t you save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm
Ooh, baby

    I meant to fight it to the finish but you made me forget,
and though it’s possible I’m dreaming, don’t wake me yet.
You know I love you, I can’t see the day for night.
You know I twist around and turn around and then I give in.
You end up in control of me, it’s really a sin,
I don’t know what you’re doing to me but I know it’s a crime.

And, baby, I can’t last another night,
and every moment is eternity,
and from the depth of my soul can’t let another day go by.

I follow my heart right up to the end, as far as the eye can see.
I’m faithful and true and living up to your sacred trust in me.
I’ll never give out to somebody else, I know where my arms should be.
I’m faithful and true and making it through your sacred trust in me, your sacred trust in me.

You take and you break me and do what you please,
I stumble and I tremble and I’m weak at the knees,
the vision that lies before me is not reality.

I tell you I can’t wait another night
for every secret that your soul reveals,
and you and I may get to know
that it’s real, that it’s real.

I follow my heart that leads me to you, and all that my love should be,
and you can be sure I’m doing it for your sacred trust in me.
I’ll never give out to somebody else, there’s nowhere my heart should be,
I’m faithful and true and living up to your sacred trust in me, your sacred trust in me.

I follow my heart right up to the end as far as the eye can see.

I passed the stage of sympathy.
No longer living on the pain.
Oh baby.
 
Though I learned my lesson well,
you got me with your magic spell.
I’m back in love again.
 
I let you go for what you are.
Should never be restrained.
I simply set you free.
 
You found me lost without you, girl.
And the love you say was missing,
a love that brightens up the night.
 
You’ll never be short of the reasons.
You can rely on all you need.
Never be lost inside each other.
 
And you know by the second time you fall,
you were not in love at all.
 
Not in love at all,
like the precious love that grows.
 
You made my life on earth like I was
never born before you.
I got the wings of love
to rise above the storm.
 
But we were not in love.
Sad to say we’re not in love.
Not in love at all.
 
How did you get to be a mine of information?
I’ll be the one that puts you wise.
You know it’s not just that I want to dry
any little tear you cry.
I’m in love with you, baby.
 
We’ll never see all of the seasons.
You can be my eternity.
Never be lost.
To cry myself to sleep in sorrow.
 
We’re not in love at all
like the precious love that grows.
 
And you and I will be
a story with no happy ending.
Oh baby, this I vow.
The greatest love you will recall,
that we were not in love.
Sad to say we’re not in love.
Not in love at all.
 
Then, why do I cry
(we are not in love at all.)
if we are not in love at all?
(we are n(Not, Not in love at all.)ot in love at all.)
 
I just don’t sleep at night.

Even though you’re far away,

And I can make you warm at night
but I need to be sure you got love enough to know.
Aah, never, never.
 
And when every cloud has lost its glow,
raining on my avenue.
When do I hide that nothing inside?

Years soon came between you and I,
Time passed by, someone else caught your eye.
Heavens of clouds up above whizzing by,
I look around, you’re not to be found.

I could cry with thoughts of your goodbye,
Our hearts would always fly as high as every sky.
Now I stand inside an empty land
And everywhere I go no sweeter heart I’ll know.

Blue is for lonely

Need to hold someone till the dark has gone.
And it’s your good loving that I’m counting on.

Tonight, won’t you take my body higher, honey.
Tonight, turn this heart of stone on fire, honey.
Seeing you needing me, baby,
make me feel electrified.
