Every drop of water
descending like a pearl
lays upon the silken
skin
of this perfect girl
The breeze around her body
moved upwards to her face
it held on
like a baby
that found its resting place
Voices from the night before
cannot be denied
suddenly revealing
all the pain inside
Entering a well of thoughts
all her fears
subside
all the bad things turning to
a blessing in disguise
She was the faintest flower
washed in by the tide
sending silent
messages
to the world outside
Her face began to soften
her lips took on a smile
the people who
had loved her
came rushing to her side
Voices from the night before
cannot be disguised
suddenly
revealing
all the pain inside
Entering a well of thoughts
all her
fears subside
all the bad things turning to
a blessing in disguise
Laying down beside a pool
staring down inside
I was taken to a
place
somewhere new to hide
at first the scene was strange and blue
then
ghostly voices that I knew
a bed, a voice, a woman cried
a child a boy, a light inside
this my dream for all those years
turned
into my deepest fears
despite the love I longed for
I fell into a pool
of tears
Chorus:
Water swirling round my head
falling through my eyes
I see the
woman on the bed
calling deep inside
calling out what might have been
all those moments never seen
all the grief flowed down the years
to
a pool of tears
All those people didn't see
nothing else to do
empty space around
me
no one ever knew
the ground beneath my feet fell through
then
music echoed thoughts of you
the chance you took to steal my pride
the pain, the joy the love that died
this my dream for all those years
turned into my deepest fears
despited the love I longed for
I
fell into a pool of tears
Repeat chorus two times
I thought love so gentle, so pure
I knew love so sweet and so secure
turning with an open heart
with a touch we would never be apart
So much love just gone slipped away
so much pain to see that love
betrays
I will never love again
for love lies and it will die in the
end
If I knew then what I know now
if I had known it all somehow
always
believing love is deceiving
I could have held my shattered dreams
seen
all the things I should have seen
now I know love lies
now I know love
is bound to die
Flames of love now ash just drifts away
here I am I'm lost and love's
astray
I can never love again
for live lied and then it died in the
end
Chorus:
I thought I saw love in his eyes
but now I know that love just lies
leaving me hollow nothing follow
so I will never give my heart
and
I will be a woman apart
now I know love lies
now I know love is bound
to die
And love was nothing but a need
devoured by an empty greed
the
ashes fill my empty heart
I will always stand apart
this from love's beguiling mask
a kiss, the questions never asked
and now I know that love just lies
I know love is bound to die
Chorus
Why must I wait for the morning sun to rise
that maybe then I can rest
my eyes
so I won't think of you and our used-to-be's
cause I can't
turn the night
no I can't turn the night
oh, I can't turn the night
off
I watch the ceiling dance thru my midnight eyes
a screen on which I
fantasize
all of our yesterdays and our used-to-be's
oh, I can't turn
the night
no I can't turn the night
oh, I can't turn the night off
If only you and I were together now
we'd make it somehow
we were
so young before; we didn't realize
you can't take back the goodbyes
And so I wait for the morning sun to rise
that maybe then I can close
my eyes
so I won't look at you and our used-to-be's
and I can't turn
the night
no, I can't turn the night
oh, I can't turn the night off
If my loving you
could change the river's flow
I would not let you
drift away from me
I'd never let go
I want to be by your side
but
the water's too deep and wide
Chorus:
In another life
In another place
I have held you close
I have
known your grace
in another world
in another time
you'll be mine
you'll be mine
If I touched you now
I'd only lose my mind
in a cruel world we
live in
one life at a time
I don't know where or when
but we'll
pass this way again
Repeat chorus two times
Sung to sleep
by a distant lullaby
filtered through raindrops and
leaves.
Suddenly he's aware, this is no dream
is this real
what's
happening
for some nights now
I thought he lived in my dreams
but
I hear him somewhere outside
Chorus:
Tempted and bewildered
standing spellbound
all the crazy questions
circling around
from my secret place
somewhere in these magic
trees
I can see his spirit clearly
In the midst
of a thrash of rainy boughs
still the song rides on
the wind
such a luminous sound.
He tried to trace
but it seems
to come from all directions
hidden miracles
dancing just beyond our
grasp
will they ever be revealed
Tempted and bewildered
standing spellbound
all the crazy questions
circling around
Chorus
A WHISPER FROM MARSEILLES (FOR JULIEN)
A touch upon my forehead
a kiss so soft and warm
a smile that
faded in the night
that never meant me harm
he lives inside a special
place
that's deep inside of me
sheltered by my feelings
that no
one else will see
Chorus:
A whisper from Marseilles
a whisper from a friend
that drifts
along an empty shore
his love he tries to send
Imagining an ocean
riding on the waves
things we used to talk
about
the things we used to crave
no footsteps left behind him
or
voice that can be heard
no questions left to ask now
love was the
final word
Chorus
All things living, moving, breathing
all we want to see
all things
living, moving breathing
all we'll ever be
Chorus
I light this candle
with a wish
that I may travel on
to a
higher place
I light this candle
at the time
of passing through a stage
let
go and I move on
into the golden age
Chorus:
All my love
will melt the stone
held in a friendly hand
across
the mountains
to the sea
the wind will kiss the sand
I light this candle
for my love
who hardly says a word
he
looks with telling eyes
on the wings of snow white birds
I light this candle
with a thought
of how my life has grown
friends
who gave hope and love
when I was far from home
Chorus
Far off in the future
through a crystal ball
there is someone
waiting
someone you have dreamed of
further in the future
he will
take your hand
sit down right beside you
promising a lifetime
see
this through your eyes
Chorus:
Life so far hasn't been good
but now you see a face
that shatters
pieces of the past
and brings a new found peace
Take his ring of fortune
use it while you can
binding you forever
try to understand him
put the past behind your
let the man come
in
don't deny your feelings
he is in your lifeline
see this
through your eyes
Chorus
Laying down beside you
on a shooting star
burning deep inside you
like a flame eternal
he has taken over
now he's in your soul
never dying laughter
all you ever dreamed of
see this through
your eyes
Chorus
Praying for a miracle
daylight had begun
he saw a woman dancing
dancing in the sun
Her silhouetted body
a jewel in the sky
became his only reason
his reason to survive
Chorus:
The colours of the casbah
the laughter in the streets
is this
where her flame lives
and what he seeks
even though he feels it
he
knows he's never seen
the flame that's eternal
and never dies - never
dies
He'd never known this feeling
a perfect work of art
passion and
the loving
of a newly opened heart
She became the miracle
as the night drew near
whispering a love
song
that only angels hear
Repeat chorus two times
We will be a melody so free
a fragrance on the cooling breeze
you
to me such gentle poetry
and who would not love days like these
Hold for us the crystal and the stream
the velvet night our claim for
this
we will see with every waking dream
love smiles and brings the
sweetest kiss
And it's true reflections casting shadow to the light
so still, it
seems that we are etched in smoke tonight
we will remember this
the
sweetest kiss
Should our dreams drift by as time unfolds
between the sea and sky
above
we will stay together we will hold
the peace and purity of love
I see life and light it shines from you
a fragrance on the cooling
breeze
we will see infinity come through
and who would not love days
like these
And it's true, the music's flowing echoes in the light
quietly now we
are sketched in the mist tonight
we will remember this, we will remember
this
the sweetest kiss
We will be a melody so free
a fragrance on the cooling breeze
you
to me such gentle poetry
and who would not love days like these
Hearing the wind blowing over the hill
over the mountains so tall and
so still
down through the forests they're
walkng alone
walking
alone
out on the corners and out in the streets
this is their home now
there's nothing to eat
these are the children longing to play
maybe
today will be the day
Chorus:
Children being brave
a symbol of the age
touching people far away
children kneel and pray
children long to play
some will find a
way
to escape this living hell
now only time will tell
Down from the village and into the town
leaving their brothers and
sisters behind
innocent voices that cry in the night
cry in the night
what did they do to deserve all this pain
most of them won't see their
mothers again
taken from childhood they'll never return
crying inside
a silent pain
Chorus
So small so weak
they rarely speak
the days go by
they wonder
why
will someone help
take them away
their hearts just break
on each new day
Up in the morning they never do sleep
looking so helpless with nothing
to keep
people walk past them not facing the truth
facing the truth
dirt on their faces and dust in their eyes
life passes them - not even
a smile
holding their hands out is all that they know
holding each
other in the cold
Chorus
All those years you spent alone
all that wasted time
wondering if
this would change
always the same
in your heart you're crying
Then one day someone appears
you don't even know
you don't have to
say a word
when you realise
that love's arrived
and this time
here to stay
Chorus:
Love comes to you
you've waited such a long time
now you're
complete
and you're love
Yesterday was very hard
nowhere else to turn
now the timing's
right you know
when you turn around
and there's not a sound
but a
silent look of love
Chorus
Many days you've wanted to
enter a new life
now your troubles
disappear
and the struggle dies
Sometimes when you think out loud
miracles come true
there's the
proof in every day
you hear him say a new life
Chorus
We spend our nights in shared dreams
wrapped in a jade green mist
our
hearts running wild, as the spirit is free
nothing compares to this
can
you picture this a beauty unexplained
all the stories every told revealing
Chorus I:
After the ocean is gone
where do we go what do we do
can we carry
on in a world without love
can I carry on in a world without you
Oooh
A message came to us all
across a moonlit sky
a love flowing
endlessly
soft as a virgin sigh
can you picture this, a beauty
unexplained
all the stories ever told revealing
Chorus I
Chorus II:
After the oceans are gone
what will we do where will we be
will we
carry on in a world without blue
will you carry on in a world without me
Oooh, Oooh
Bring your out-thereness in here
in here, in here.
Don't be afraid to be yourself
love and light will wash away your tears
in here
We are all stars in the night
fish in the mountain stream
no
reason to cry
nothing is as it seems
can you picture this, a beauty
unexplained
all the stories ever told revealing
Chorus I
Repeat chrous II two times
