Blue Night

To the whole room, her eyes are numb
As she reads from a true love story.
From the pages of a book, her lover comes.
Her heart bleeds, it's a true love story.
Misty shape in the window by her bed,
Dreaming on what she's read.
Hero takes her hand and leads her through.
Who knows what this night will do?

Chorus:
Only in the blue night, he comes to her
Only in the blue night.
That's when the whole night belongs to her,
Only in the blue night.

I see a dark face by the moon's glow
As she reads from a true love story.
Beckoning hand scratching at the window.
Her heart bleeds, it's a true love story.

Misty path and the night is endless.
She could be a queen or a desert princess.
Hero takes her hand and leads her through.
Who knows what this night will do?

Chorus

Only in the blue night,
Only in the blue night.
That's when the whole night belongs to her,
Only in the blue night.

She wants to break free
From the cold light of reality.
And as she drifts away,
I hear her voice say, "come away."

Dark skin glistening by the silver light.
This is the hero come tonight.
And taking her hand, he leads her through.
Who knows what this night will do?

Bridge To Paradise

This town is just a fake,
A place where you can't tell the devil from your brother.
Poisoned every breath you take,
It's just like one nightmare after the other.
You know, it's not too late to leave tomorrow,
'Cause I know where I'm going.

I am building a bridge to Paradise.
I am building a bridge to Paradise.

This town you can't control,
A place that fascinates, hits you with the drama.
Don't worry now for my soul
'Cause I'm heading for a higher panorama.

You know, it's not too late for you to follow,
'Cause I know where I'm going.

Nothing But

You will have nothing but love,
Nothing but hope, blue sky above.
You will find nothing but peace,
Nothing but the sun shining on your face.
Chorus:
When you open your eyes,
When you open your eyes.

You will feel nothing but free,
Nothing but trust, that's how it should be.
And one who cares about nothing but you,
Watching close by the whole night through.

Chorus

You will feel nothing but warm,
Nothing but shelter from the storm.
You will have nothing but rest,
Deep in your heart, nothing but the best.

See The Light

I been waiting at this frontier
And it seems like a hundred years,
But I couldn't see past the gate.
I couldn't see past the hate.
Now I'm coming back to my senses.
I can see a light past the fences,
Standing at the borderline.
I've come to the end of the line.
Will-power, give me some to survive.
One more hour and I'm coming alive.
I can see the light.

Chorus:
And there's blue sky breaking
Through the edge of the night.
I can see the light.
Ooh, I can feel the light.
Whoa-whoa! Whoa-whoa!

The most precious thing I possess
Is knowing the answer's yes,
And soon my liberty
Will be a reality.
I've been given a second chance.
I could open my arms and dance.
Open that barricade.
No longer I'm living afraid.

Will-power, give me some to survive.
One more hour and I'm coming alive.
I can see the light.

Chorus

Now I climb the steps to freedom.
The open gates, I can see them.
Hands that I once knew
Beckoning me through.
As the sunlight touch my face,
I can feel the warm embrace.
Arms surround me.
My life has found me.

Will-power, give me some to survive.
One more hour and I'm coming alive.
I can see the light.

Chorus

Whoa-whoa!
Ooh, I can see the light.

I can see the light coming in bright.
I can feel the light, freedom in sight.
Oh, I can see the light coming in bright.
I can feel the light.

I can see the light,
It's coming in bright.


Runaway Son

Good sister, won't you let me in?
I'm in need of some warmth and shelter.
It's a hard luck story, don't know where to begin.
I've been riding on life's helter-skelter.
Save me, Holy Mother, please, save me!
I got a heart of gold.

Chorus:
And for your love I'd go hungry and thirsty.
I need a saviour and you're the one.
I throw myself into the arms of mercy.
There's still hope for the runaway son.

My good father, he say to me:
"Better come back to your senses.
There's an empty bottle lying on the floor
And it's undermined your defences."

Save me, Holy Mother, please, save me!
I got a heart of gold.

Chorus

Good brother, show me how to get home.
I've been walking in the backyard of Satan.
I'm so stubborn that I'll never give in,
But now my heart's cold and aching.

Save me, Holy Mother, please, save me!
I got a heart of gold.

And for your love I'd go hungry and thirsty.
I need a saviour and you're the one.
I throw myself into the arms of mercy.
Salvation for the runaway son.

Save me, Holy Mother, please, save me!
I got a heart of gold.


Innocent

I know you'll never stay the same.
In time, most of us lose it.
But I'm hoping, just the same,
You'll shine and learn how to use it.
Speak to me, like the very first speak.
You are magnificent when you're innocent.
Laugh to me, like the very first laugh.
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent.

My hands hold you and you adore,
Blue eyes turn my direction.
Surprise in everything and your
Body moves in perfection.

Smile to me, like the very first smile.
You are magnificent when you're innocent.
Walk to me, like the very first walk.
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent.

Sunrise, here comes another day.
Cow jumps over the moon, now.
Sometime, you will look back and say,
"Today, I'll sing my own tune."


Hostage

You can't speak, you can't sleep.
You daren't move, you're confused.
You never talk, you can't walk.
You can't feel, you're not real.
If I open my eyes, just far enough,
I can see what you're doing.
Go on, fight to the end, it's tough enough
When you're on the road to ruin.

Chorus:
You're a hostage of the heart,
Twisted 'round the smallest finger.
Two burning eyes are tearing you apart,
Turn your soul into a cinder.

There's no rest, you're possessed.
You can't leave, you can't breathe.
The door slams, your head hangs.
You blank stare, you don't care.

If you open your eyes just far enough,
You see the street lamps flicker.
Go on, fight to the end, it's tough enough
When you know the end is bitter.

Chorus

You're number's up, you're eyes shut.
You're on the brink, you can't think.
You wanna run, but you're stunned.
You can't lie, you don't try.

If I open my eyes, look hard enough,
I see the blue light flashes.
Go on, fight to the end, it's tough enough,
Riding on the road to ashes.


Far Country

She takes the rain and turns it to sun,
And my soul, she fills it where once was a desert,
Rivers now run and my storm, she stills it.
She takes the rain.
She breathes the air from a far country.
This bond survives like a tall, tall tree.
I close my eyes and how far I see....
She takes the rain.

She gives me hope when there's nothing but pain.
I can't explain it.
Two different leaves, but the branch is the same.
Forever, let it be....
She takes the rain.


Earth Moving

I hear a voice from paradise,
Looks like a new day dawning.
So clear, I just open my eyes.
Can't you hear the voice calling?
I feel a rush in the air tonight,
I can feel the Earth moving.
Love is a beacon, a guiding light.
Can't you feel the Earth moving?

Chorus:
Feel the Earth move,
Now I'm wrapped in a sweet love's arms.
Reaching out for you.
There's something magic in the air tonight,
I can feel the Earth move.

And it moves me.
Can't you hear the voice calling?
Looks like a new day dawning.

Reach out - it's a leap in the dark,
But there's no danger of falling.
Give out, give it straight from the heart.
You feel like thunder rolling.

I feel a rush in the air tonight,
I can feel the Earth moving.
Love is a beacon, a guiding light.
Can't you feel the Earth moving?

Chorus

And it moves me.
Can't you hear the voice calling?
It feels like thunder rolling.

Holy

Harmony always, when I look around me
And your smile I see,
I can feel it surround me.
A miracle I find in your company.
One glance is all that I need.
What I was searching for, I've found it.

Can you believe it, I'm walking on water
And I'm high off the ground.
Must be some mystique that weaves it.
I'd never have thought of this power I've found.

One glance is all that I need.
What I was searching for, I've found it.
One look, and now I believe
I could just wrap my whole self around it.

Holy, to me, just one glance is holy.
One touch of your heart, to me, that's holy.
Holy, to me, just one glance is holy.
One touch of your heart, to me, that's holy.

You've seen it, walking on water.
Miracles like you never seen before.

You've seen it, walking on water.
Miracles like you never seen before.

When The Night's On Fire

I was hoping, could you be my inspiration
Whatever should become in the candlelight
I was dreaming, was it my imagination
Tomorrow never comes in the candlelight
When the night's on fire
Do you need love's arms to hold you
It's a flame there burns no finer
When you see one bird
There's another watching over
And the two can fly much higher

I was listening, to the wind that walks the hours
I never would have heard in the candlelight
I was hoping, would you shelter me from showers
I believe every word in the candlelight

When the night's on fire and you burn
Like a flame that's burning in the rain
Do you need somewhere to turn
When you see one bird
It's the two that fly higher
And a second in heaven's worth whole life's
Trouble and trial


The Time Has Come

A thousand years, they waited for
Someone who would be true,
And now the empty years have passed,
The sunlight shines anew.
Chorus:
Someone who knows no fear,
I feel him near.
The child was born to be a king, a king,
And the time has come.

He tamed the wild wind when he passed,
The birds and beasts he knew,
Until he came to rest, at last,
The tall gates he passed through.

Chorus

And now the story's just begun.
A thousand years to stay.
We wake each morning with the sun
To live our dreams away.

Magic Touch

Once in a lifetime, you find that power
To break out and run from the devil's deep clutch.
All that you need, it's the finest hour,
Is to believe in the magic touch.
A thief in the night,
Love steals you far away.
A thief in the night,
Love takes your breath away.

Chorus:
Can't believe it, like no other.
Love is a gift and to take you so much,
You need the blue night to discover
Only true lovers have the magic touch.

Once in a lifetime, you find that faith,
When you're under the spell and it takes control.
Everything 'round you just falls in place,
And all that you touch seems to turn to gold.

A thief in the night,
Love steals you far away.
A thief in the night,
Love takes your breath away.

Chorus

Once in a lifetime, you find that power
So break out and run from the devil's deep clutch.
All that you need, it's the finest hour,
Is to believe in the magic touch.

It's magic.

North Point

Have you ever been to North Point
To spend your time and pray?
The prison walls are dark and cold and grey.
The writing on the wall at North Point
Speaks to a silent room.
They shut the bars down, leave you to the gloom.
Chorus:
How could we get any closer?
So high is the wire and the guards won't listen,
They won't believe me.
And then it all came back.
Somewhere far above has a new day risen?
Way beyond the searchlight,
Comes alive, comes alive.

Then on a bright day at North Point
The gate was open wide.
They chanced to look at what was inside.
There were a million stars at North Point,
And from the silent tomb,
They took it to the heart and left for the moon.

Chorus

Have you ever been to North Point
To spend your time and pray?
The prison walls are dark and cold and grey.


Flying Start

We took a place in the sun to see just what had become.
The warm wind blows constantly.
Does the answer still blow? Did you find your chateau
In that Mediterranean fantasy?
Chorus:
Flying start
Made the Whole World sing, they had no choice.
Flying start.
Like a shining pearl, they sang in one voice.

To where the sun always shines, familiar faces and wines.
The warm wind blows constantly.
Knock on the door, but the memory's poor.
Is there somebody in? Now answer me!
Two dark eyes from the doorway shine.
So you lost your dream in a bottle of wine.
I knew you had to do it your way, fine,
But there's none to carry the cross this time.

Chorus

On dusty roads and tracks. Now it's the time to turn back.
The warm winds blow constantly.
Riding that storm since the day you were born.
Is there somebody in? Now answer me!
Two dark eyes from the doorway shine.
So you lost your dream in a bottle of wine.
I knew you had to do it your way, fine,
But there's none to carry the cross this time.


Shine

Shine, shine!
She's my light,
She's my light.
Shine, shine!
I need her light.
She's my light.
All that you need and your desire.
If I'm put to the test,
I believe I couldn't get higher.
Just by being with you,
Pictures flow out of my mind.
Have we danced before
Long ago or in another time?

Because, because
She was, she was
Made in heaven.
She was, she was,
She was a maid in heaven.

All that you need and your desire.
Can we sing to the sunlight?
Play with fire.
Just by being with you
Spins me straight around the moon.
And if our rainbows could dance,
He'd dance for your desire soon.

Because, because
She was, she was,
She was a maid in heaven.
She was, she was,
She was a maid in heaven.

Shine, shine!
She's my light,
She's my light. (She's my light)
Shine, shine!
I need her light.
She's my light
And a maid in heaven.

Shine, shine!
She's my light,
She's my light.
She was a maid in heaven.
Shine, shine!
I need her light.
She's my light.

Shine, shine!
She's my light,
She's my light. (She's my light)
Shine, shine!
I need her light.
She's my light.
She was a maid in heaven.

Shine!


Islands

Islands, from the first time we saw,
We could wait for this moment, like rocks on the shore.
We can never be closer, somehow,
For the moment that lasts, is this moment now.
When the night's on fire, will you keep the candlelight burning?
Hold on to your heart's desire. (When the night's on fire)
When you see one bird into the wind, another one's turning,
And the two can fly much higher.

We are islands, but never too far,
We are islands
And I need your light tonight,
And I need your light tonight.
We are islands, but never too far,
We are islands
And I need your light tonight,
And I need your light tonight.

Islands, never been to before,
And we climb so high to where the wild birds soar.
There's a new path that we found just today,
I was lost in the forest and you showed me the way.

When the night's on fire, will you keep the candlelight burning?
Hold on to your heart's desire. (When the night's on fire)
When you see one bird into the wind, another one's turning,
And the two can fly much higher.


Make Make

There's no way out, no way in
To the hallowed halls, the inner ring.
You're just a face in the crowd.
You got no place when you're down and out.
Mona Lisa, you can stop searching.
Don't you know we're not Virgin.

Chorus:
We're on the make make.
We only take take.
We're on the make make.
We accumulate.
We're on the make make.
Don't mind, it's fake fake.
We're on the make make.
We're making heartbreak.

We build our tower on shifting sand.
You got no idea what's changing hands.
No chivalry. Who cares what you feel?
This is not the place for high ideals.

Mona Lisa, you can stop searching.
Don't you know we're not Virgin?

Chorus

Mona Lisa, you can stop searching.
Don't you know we're not Virgin?

No sympathy, we're sacrosanct.
We're on the make.
No charity! No thanks!


No Dream

An empty chair, is someone sitting there?
Footsteps on the ground.
Can you hear that sound?
Like a wild goose crying
On a lonely wind.
Whispering leaves in the branches that bend.
Chorus:
This ain't no dream, babe.
Alone in the night.
Turn on the light, this ain't no dream.
This is no dream.
You didn't read this is no book.
Go take a look, this ain't no dream.

A restless flame, someone calls your name.
Through the empty hall,
Casting shadows on the wall.
In the sound of emptiness,
Isolation. Nowhere left to run,
Now the time has come.

Chorus

An open door, glass all on the floor.
Hands have turned to white
In the cold breeze of the night.
There's a face at the window.
Someone who you know or who you used to be.
Could that somebody be me?

Dream, babe, alone in the night.
Turn on the light, this ain't no dream.
This is no dream. This ain't no book.
Go take a look, this ain't no dream.
