(Vocalise)
Tried to take it all away
Learn her freedom just inside a day
And find
her soul
To find their fears allayed
Tried to make her love their own
They took her love they left her there
They gave her nothing back
That she would want to own
Gold and silver rings and stones
Dances slowly of the moon
No-one else
can know
She stands alone
Sleeping dreams will reach for her
She cannot say the words they need
She knows she's alone
And she is free
Chorus:
Ocean gypsy of the moon
The sun has made a thousand nights
For you to
hold
Ocean gypsy where are you
The shadows followed by the stars
Have turned to gold, turned to gold
Then she met a hollow soul
Filled him with her light
And was consoled
she was the moon
And he, the sun was gold
Eyes were blinded with his light
The sun she gave
Reflected back the
night
The moon was waning almost out of sight
Softly ocean gypsy calls
Silence holds the stars awhile
They smile
sadly
For her where she falls
Just the time before the dawn
The sea is hushed
The ocean calls her
Day has taken her and now she's gone
Chorus
No-one noticed when she died
Ocean gypsy shackled to the tide
The
ebbing waves were turning
Spreading wide
Something gone within her eyes
Her fingers lifeless stroke the sand
Her battered soul was lost
She was abandoned
Silken threads like wings still shine
Winds take pleasure still make
patterns
In her lovely hair
So dark and fine
Stands on high beneath the seas
Cries no more
Her tears have dried
Oceans weep for her the ocean sighs
Chorus
Dollars down the penny drain
Frozen in the clouds
Dream away the last
of pain
In waterfalls of sounds
Float across the icy pools
Leaves with curl and sway
Now your mind is
floating cool
And you can find the way
Can you understand you can really understand
When the darkness comes you
still shine
Open up your eyes and make the day shine sunshine now
Open
up your dreams and and make the way shine sunshine now
Can you understand
you understand
Can you understand you understand
Open up your life and
make your lifetime sunshine now
Open up your soul and make your lifeline
sunshine now
Can you understand you understand
Can you understand you
understand
Dancing without moving now
Growing with your soul
One with all around
you now
Related to the all
Purple mist around your hair
Eyes are fading blue
Smiling into
everywhere
Love is coming through
Come along with me
Down into the world of seeing
Come and you'll be
free
Take the time to find the feeling
See everything on it's own
And you'll find you know the way
And you'll know the things you're shown
Owe everything to the day
Chorus:
See the carpet of the sun
The green grass soft and sweet
Sands upon
the shores of time
Of oceans mountains deep
Part of the world that you
live in
You are the part that you're giving
Come into the day
Feel the sunshine warmth around you
Sounds from far
away
Music of the love that found you
The seed that you plant today
Tomorrow will be a tree
And living goes on this way
It's all part
of you and me
Repeat chorus two times
See the carpet of the sun
See the carpet of the sun
See the carpet of
the sun
See the carpet of the sun
Running hard towards what used to be
Losing ground in changes sliding
endlessly
Reaching out for mirrors hidden in the web
Painting lines
upon your face inside instead
Sounds so bad the music's flat on every line
Songs of blackened lace know
you're dying all the time
Sounds so bad you let the music take your soul
Slipping through the day
Lose the only way you know
Running hard towards what used to be
Losing ground in changes sliding
endlessly
Reaching out for things you want to see
Find reflections of
insane reality
La la ...
Running hard towards what used to be
Losing ground in changes sliding
endlessly
Reaching out for shadows passing through
See the dark around
is coming down on you
Pays the price, works the seasons through
Frozen days, he thinks of you
Cold as ice but he burns for you
Mother Russia, can't you hear him too?
Mother's son, freedom's overdue
Lonely man, he thinks of you
He isn't
done, only lives for you
Mother Russia, can't you hear him too?
Punished for his written thoughts
Starving for his fame
Working
blindly, building blocks
Number for a name, his blood flows frozen to the
snow
Red blood, white snow
He knows frozen rivers won't flow
So cold, so
true
Mother Russia--he cries for you
Ooh ooh ...
Bah dah dah dah ...
Punished for his written thoughts
Starving for his fame
Working
blindly, building blocks
Number for a name his blood flows frozen to the
snow
Red blood, white snow
He knows frozen rivers won't flow
So cold, so
true
Mother Russia--he cries for you
Sultan king cruel majesty
Ordered that his women die
A single night
this for all his wives
Takes his pleasure then their lives
And so for many days with the dawn
The sultan had his way
Wives were
put to death
His name on their dying breath
Then one day as the evening came
Sultan sends for him a wife
Choose
her well charms I wish to see
Bring her, send her in to me
Then came Scheherazade to his side
And her beauty shone
Like a flower
grown
Gentle as he'd ever known
Scheherazade bewitched him
With songs of jewelled keys
Princes and of
heroes
And eastern fantasies
Told him tales of sultans
And talismans and rings
A thousand and one
nights she sang
To entertain her king
She sings, Scheherazade,
Scheherazade, etc
"The Young Prince And The Young Princess As Told By Scheherazade"
And you would cause the sun to see your light
And then be shamed
You
cover darkness with a thousand secret flames
With your love, oh my love, oh
my love, my love
And I would cause the winds to blow a hundred different
days
And bring the perfumes of the gardens of the ways
Of your love,
oh my love, oh my love, my love
Crystal and the clay, nights and the days
All on the prince's seal
Eagle of the sky, lion of the earth
This is what the seal is worth, what
the seal is worth
Holds all of the dreams of a man
Tapestries, wishes
of man, pictures and visions of man
The spirit of the soul of the man
And he would vow to love her for the rest of all his days
Sheherazade this day is yours
The bearers of your gifts now all around you
stand
The finest silk made in the land
Is waiting for your choice
It shimmers at your hand
Sheherazade your life is one
You have today
the sultan's love
The people watch you step into the sun
Stalls and
bars of every kind
Food piled high on woven leaves for all to eat
Drums and flutes at every turn
The music winding, twisting through the
crowded streets
Caravans from far away bring people laughing
People
come to see the sultan in Baghdad today
Scheherazade her name is known
Her tale is told
The sultan let her
life be spared
The festival begins this day
To celebrate her fame
The people sing her praise
Stories sung, the crowds are dancing
To the
music and the entertainment all the voices sing
The people call to see the
king
The sultan smiles
His story just begun
The sultan and
Sheherazade are one
Scheherazade, Scheherazade
She told him tales of sultans and talismans and rings
A thousand and one
nights she sang to entertain her king
She sings, Scheherazade, Sheherazade,
Scheherazade, etc.
Travel the days of freedom
Roads leading everywhere
Come with me now
and show how you care
Follow the dying embers
Cross on the paths that they lay
Breath of the
past the earths yesterday
Chorus:
Clear your mind maybe you will find
That the past is still turning
Circles sway echo yesterday
Ashes burning ashes burning
Colours are fading starlight
Silver the way to find
Walking the
shadows, there in our mind
Changing the order slowly
Leaving the mist of time
Fingers are holding
fragments of mine
Chorus
Imagine the burning embers
They glow below and above
Your sins you
won't remember
And all you'll find there is love
Ashes are burning
brightly
The smoke can be seen from afar
So now you're seeing how far
Ashes are burning the way
Ashes are burning the way
