Hello angel, do you know me? I’m you man.
Would that be hard for you to try and understand?
I’ve been waiting for this day for so so long.
Could loving you be so so wrong?
 
It doesn’t matter much to me.
Baby, I been hurt before.
Don’t you ask me why I’m here,
back and knocking at your door.
 
Do you remember?
Do you remember all the nights
and all the love we went through?
Well, you know maybe I thought you had some left over.
Could I mean that much to you?
 
It doesn’t matter much to me.
Baby, I been hurt before.
Don’t you ask me why I’m here,
back and knocking at your door.
 
Now open up your arms and take me.
Make me love you till I die.
You wouldn’t have me when I was a young man.
But tonight I’m gonna try.
 
It doesn’t matter much to me.
Baby, I been hurt before.
Don’t you ask me why I’m here,
back and knocking at your door.

Baby, when I met you there was peace unknown.
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb.
I was soft inside.
There was something going on.

You do something to me that I can’t explain.
Hold me closer and I feel no pain.
Every beat of my heart.
We got something going on.

Tender love is blind.
It requires a dedication.
All this love we live needs no conversation.
We can ride it together, ah ha.
Making love with each other, ah ha.

Islands in the stream,
that is what we are.
No one in between .
How can we be wrong.

Get away with me
to another world.
And we rely on each other, ah ha.
From one lover to another, ah ha.

I can’t live without you if the love is gone.
Everything is nothing when you got no one.
And you just walk in the night,
slowly losing sight of the real thing.

But that won’t happen to us and we got no doubt.
Too deep in love and we got no way out.
And the message is clear.
This could be the year for the real thing.

No more will you cry.
Baby, I will let you never.
We start and end as one.
In love forever.
We can ride it together, ah ha.
Making love with each other, ah ha.

Islands in the stream,
that is what we are.
No one in between.
How can we be wrong.

Far away with me
to another world.
And we rely on each other, ah ha.
From one lover to another, ah ha.

Islands in the stream,
that is what we are.
No one in between.
How can we be wrong.

Sail away with me
to another world.
And we rely on each other, ah ha.
From one lover to another, ah ha.

And I want that kind of smile,

Israel, you make the whole world think about you.
And if they don’t, they’ll find a reason
to shout about
Israel, Israel.

You’re the only one,
Israel, Israel.

Israel,

Tell me all about it.

In the name of love and life
turn your face to the lonely night,
but you’re not alone
when she calls you home.

And this your world is on the edge,
as good as lost but you know the way
through this faceless town
and she pulls me down.

I know the place and the time (of our lives)
so long ago,
and all through the years (never dies)
all things must pass.

Irresistible force meets an immovable object and
human animal madness and blood starts to flow.
Invisible fingers and indescribable pleasure.
I get to find my personal god.
I get to find my personal god.

God of love, god of gold,
ring of fire in the days of old,
it’s what I’m living for
and love’s the only law.

So answer mayday SOS.
Search me north south east or west.
It’s all I miss, just the one last kiss.

This is goodbye to the days (of our lives),
my fair-weather friend.
I feel your sorrow and tears (they are mine),
I share to the end.

Irresistible force meets an immovable object and
human animal magic, how far can you go?
The rolling of thunder and you decide what you’re after.

I get to find my personal god.
I get to find my personal god.

I surrender, all or nothing.
You must spread your wings and fly.

I know the place and the time (of our lives),
my fair-weather friend.
I feel your sorrow and tears (they are mine),
I share to the end.

When an irresistible force meets an immovable object and
human animal madness and blood starts to flow,
there’s bound to be a heartbreak,
you make it the hard way.

I surrender, all or nothing
You must spread your wings and fly.

Transcript by Alan Vasey


The way that you used everything that god gave you
I gave you my heart like a child, one moment you took me to heaven
Took me back to earth and then before I woke up to the fact I was small you took me back to heaven again

And I remember the Indian summer how you held me, how you loved me (Loved me loved me)

The world may give me a million reasons but reasons don’t make it wrong
Every lesson I learned has a price in return I was lost in my youth and to tell you the truth
I was empty and you filled me with a glow of love a loving loves may die
Just to hear you that sees me through, oh what I’d give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you

So many hearts have been broke
You had no trouble with mine like a fool I was there for the taking (but then)
It was only a matter of time you can lie in the sun with the warm wind blowing
Just knowing you’ve already paid but you can’t live alone in an Indian Summer at 110 in the shade

And I remember (and I remember) The Indian Summer
How you held me in the moonlight

We were riding along on a silver dream never dreaming it off our head
and if I’d known I’d lose you the moment I found you I’d love you all over again

Cos I’m still empty (I’m still empty) Come fill me ( Come fill me)
With a fire of love your flame will follow flame Cos it’s all I want to do

Oh what I’d give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you
Oh what I’d give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you
Oh what I’d give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you
Oh what I’d give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you

All my hair is grey
and I watch another day
passing by the orchid of my age
So I’m older neither hand nor shoulder
tapestries of you fallin’ to view

Irons in the fire
but my flames are getting higher
it seems I’m just a hopeless case without you

without your face, I’m an empty place
without your voice, I’m a helpless choice

why am I still alive ?
when you’re not there I can’t survive
mentally on the hole you stole my soul

still I will cry, for the night you’ve said goodbye,
and every tear will clearly bear your name!!!

Irons in the fire
but my flames are getting higher
it seems I’m just a hopeless case without you

without your face, I’m an empty place
without your voice, I’m a helpless choice

You know I love getting up in the morning
when the sun first strikes the trees.
All the morning birds that sing above
still bring back memories
of a girl who stood beside me
when the rights I did were wrong,
but she went back down the river
just when I thought I could be strong,
when I thought I could be strong, so I sing…
 
I O I I I I I I O I O.
I O I I I I I I O I O.
 
She never told me why she left me
but the letter say goodbye.
Now my mornings are for wondering
and my nights to reason why
why a stranger comes to steal the love
of a girl I had to hold.
But she went back down the river
just when I thought I could be strong,
when I thought I could be strong, so I sing

All day, all night you feel as if the earth could fly.
Three more all for fine Indian gin and whisky dry,
fine Indian gin and whisky dry.
 
Small town, closed down,
there’s nowhere else around to try.
Disturbingly a voice would cry:
‘Go home, no loan.
You’ll have you gin and whisky dry,
you’ll have your gin and whisky dry’.
 
Four, ten, four men
lining up for their handy brandy.
All’s gone, you’re none,
came the bartender’s reply.
But I’ve tried and I’m tied
to Indian gin and whisky dry,
to Indian gin and whisky dry….

We are inseparable.
No voice in life can come between
two souls live on as one for ever.

We are invincible.
This time a soul lives in a soul.
You’ll never stand alone for ever.

I say

Young but not afraid
I was hanging on the life you gave me
I fell, lost in your heart
I’m in there still
And I believe in time
That you and I would rule the world
I pray for you while you were praying for another

In the heat of the night
You’d be there lying in the heart of a love so right
Love could be a million dreams or lies
If we don’t love anymore
I live and wonder what I never knew
I get too lonely to be loving you

A heart without a home
A fire in the night still burning
So when a child in the night
Too scared to see
And I believe in you
This kind of love will never die
I die for you while you were dying for another

In the heat of the night
You’d be there lying in the heart of a love so right
Love could be a million dream or lies
If we don’t love anymore
I live and wonder what I never knew
I get too lonely to be loving you

Why but somehow you were
Make my lonely nights like heaven on Earth
This love would find a way
When love’s gone, take a light away

In the heat of the night
You’d be there lying in the heart of a love so right
Love could be a million dream or lies
If we don’t love anymore
I live and wonder what I never knew
I get too lonely to be loving you

In the heat of the night
You’d be there lying in the heart of a love so right
Love could be a million dream or lies
If we don’t love anymore
I live and wonder what I never knew
I get too lonely to be loving you

In the bleak midwinter
Frosty winds made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen, snow on snow
Snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long ago

Heaven cannot hold Him
Nor the earth sustain:
Heaven and earth shall flee away
When He comes to reign
In the bleak midwinter
Stable place sufficed
The Lord God almighty
Jesus Christ

Though what can I give Him,
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb
If I were a wise man
I would do my part
Yet what can I give him
I would give my heart

In the bleak midwinter
Frosty winds made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen, snow on snow
Snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long ago

In the morning when the moon is at its rest,
you will see me at the time I love the best,
watching rainbows, play on sunlight,
pools of water iced from cold night,in the morning.
‘Tis the morning of my life.
 
In the daytime I will meet you as before.
You will find me waiting by the ocean floor,
building castles in the shifting sands
in a world that no one understands,
in the morning.
‘Tis the morning of my life.
 
In the morning of my life
the minutes take so long to drift away.
Please be patient with your life,
it’s only morning and you’re still to live your day.
 
In the evening I will fly you to the moon,
to the top right hand corner of the ceiling in my room,
where we’ll stay until the sun shines,
another day to swing on clothe’s lines,
may I be yawning.
It is the morning of my life.
It is the morning of my life.

It’s just the way that you said
you don’t love me anymore,
then goodbye.

I can’t believe what you’re saying.
You don’t love me anymore.
Goodbye.

Just the way that I feel about tomorrow.
Knowing you won’t be there by my side.
I wish that I could say to you;
well, can’t we just be good friends?

Would you leave the door open,
let me walk in again?

That’s the way I been thinking ‘bout tomorrow.
I only know that friends can’t be lovers again.

no-one knows when I feel down
it’s hard to laugh when you know the score
but I know that she’ll always be
waiting here for me
Is it true to say that she’s the one that I love
it’s plain to see

no-one knows that I have left town
I’ve come back as to face the fact
trying easy on your own ground
it’s plain to see love is what a lie

no-one knows when I feel down
it’s hard to laugh when you know the score
yes it’s hard to laugh when you know the score
but I know that she’ll always be
waiting here for me
Is it true to say that she’s the one that I love
it’s plain to see
she knows that I have left
I’ve come back

When I was seventeen it was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls and soft summer nights
We’d hide from the lights on the village green
When I was seventeen
 
When I was twenty-one it was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair and it came undone
When I was twenty-one
 
Then I was thirty-five it was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means, we’d ride in limousines their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five
 
But now the days grow short, I’m in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage wine from fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs, and it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year
 
It was a mess of good years

Out in the world, lost in the night.
Broken inside, the dream’s out of sight.
Running in circles, hot city streets.
Young girl, you came and you make me believe it.

I’m just a victim of emotion.
A storm within an ocean of heartache and wonderland.
Yesterday’s gone and whatever happens now
I found you, answer to a dream.

In a world of strangers.
In and out of love.
Make it feel like the first time.
I been searching forever.
I been crazy falling in and out of love so long.

Innocent hearts, beating alone.
You opened my eyes, the hurting is gone.
I’m lying next to you, I’m holding on to you.
I’m born again girl and I can’t let go of you.
I’m just a victim of emotion.

A storm within an ocean of heartache and wonderland.
Yesterday’s gone and whatever happens now.
I found you, answer to a dream in a world of strangers.
In and out of love.
Make it feel like the first time.
I been searching forever.
I been crazy falling in and out of love so long.

I been searching for the real thing (oh I been searching).
I been waiting forever.
I’ve seen the light.
Whatever happens now, I found you, answer to a dream.
In a world of strangers
Hold me love…
