Breaking away
I want to stay
Lay in your arms awhile
And watch
break of day
Safe in your smile
Mile after mile
I have a photograph
Containing
my view
Image of you
Hear the drums
Caress the sound
The music is all around
Each beat
could be the start
The end for a lonely heart
Chorus:
Come to me go with me Africa
Here in your mystique Africa
Dark and serene
Just like a dream
Gaze at the deepest eyes
That
I've ever seen
Live for today
Watch child at play
He speaks of innocence
So far
from away
Stay understood
All of life before you stands
Beginning the ancient man
Each beat be
the one
A shot from a loaded gun
Chorus
I have a photograph Africa
Lay in your arms awhile Africa
Repeat chorus two times
Five below, watch the headlights rush by
Monday morning, tired voices,
cloudy sky
Dreams of sun lit hazy days
Silver screen won't you please
take me away
Has the style, that's what everyone says
Created image, she's an idol of the
age
Acting like a little child
Could you love her if only for a while
Chorus:
She only wants to be a star
Longs to be just where you are
You're the dreamaker
Please don't forsake her
She's only living for today
Don't you take her breath away
You're
the dreamaker
You know you should take her
Where you go
Teenage days in her room, of fantasy
Evening falls, buy a ticket to
your dream
Watching lovers play their part
Could she be just another
lonely heart
Chorus
Hid from shadows of the light
How she cries for you at night
Fame and
fortune calls her name
She'll let you steal her heart away
Trade her soul for tenderness
A gentle touch, the warm caress
Be the
star of every show
Dreamaker take her
Where you go
Destination outward bound
I turn to see the northern lights behind the wing
Horizons seem to beckon me
Learned how to cry too young, so
now I live to sing
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
Horizons
seem to beckon me
Learned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing
You know it's hard away from you
Travelling roads and passing through
It's not for money and it's not for fame
I just can't explain, sometimes
it's lonely
Marking the space between the days
Early hours pass away
I sing to you
of northern lights
I sing for you of northern nights
Past or future, here or there
Shelter comes in words from you, so talk to
me
I hear your voice, it comforts me
In morning dreams I take your
hand, you walk with me
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
Peace
enfolds the still night air
Home again I look for you and find you there
Desintation homeward now
Take the easy way, bring me down
Making the
hard way now I see
Hard to be really free, I'm missing you near me
Marking the space between the days
Early hours pass away
I sing to you
of northern lights
I sing for you of northern nights
Chorus:
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
The
northern nights are in my eyes
They guide me back to you
Repeat chorus twice
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
There must have been a time when you weren't on my mind
The days before I
knew your face
There must have been a night when I would miss your light
Beside me in that lonely space
There's no beginning and no end
The colours and the faces blend
Rain
and the sunshine send, no beginning and no end
People and places blend, no
beginning and no end
There must have been a day before you came my way
I saw the space you
were to fill
I just can't find the change, the things love rearranged
I love you now, I always will
There's no beginning and no end
The music and the pictures blend
Echoes and voices said, no beginning and no end
Good and the sad times led,
no beginning and no end
And as the sun will rise
And so the sun will set again
So we will turn
and then
There's no beginning and no end
There's no beginning and no end
The colours and the faces blend
Rain and the sunshine send, no beginning and no end
People and places
blend, no beginning and no end
Echoes and voices said, no beginning and no
end
Good and the sad times led, no beginning and no end
No beginning, no end ...
Sitting here alone my thoughts of you
I hold your photograph
It's
simple black and white
You wear that smile that won my heart
The time we had was short
You had somewhere else to go
The drafty
waiting room
The train pulls in, you go
Chorus:
You ask me if it hurts when I think of you
It's only when I laugh
Time
heals now I am cried out
A brief encounter deep in France
A table set
for two
Hands held, I melt into you
I wrote some letters to old friends
The good old days
I didn't know
you then
To mention you to them would be absurd
But then you mean so
much
Ice that's on my window panes
Slowly starts to thaw
The image of my
tears reflects on you
That's all
Chorus
My days will pass as years
Till you return to me
The reason that it hurts when I think of you
It's only when I laugh
Time heals and now I am cried out
A brief encounter deep in France
A
table set for two
Hands held, I melt into you
Repeat chorus twice
Is it right that it should be this good
I'm feeling changes all the time
A special kind of beat I feel
Makes my pulse race, makes me reel
It spins me round and upside down, I feel the power
The turning of my life
is measured by the hour
You make my day
Lucky is as lucky does
And thanks to you I fell in love
I tumble down
not knowing what I came here for
It seemed my plans were always kept behind
closed doors
You hold the key and unlocked me
Chorus 1:
Is it that it should be this good
I'm feeling changes all the time
Early morning calls me back
I wake in another world that others seem so
hard to find
Make the most of what you have
Dancing time in rhythm
pulls
You keep supplying energy
You're the body machine
They wish
they could be like you
A perfect balance rarely seen
It's a dream
You've waited for so very long
I took the chance I made you strong
I
grow with you, you saw in me potential fire
And when I thought the peak was
reached, you took me higher
You held the key that unlocks me
Chorus 2:
Is it right it should be this good
I'm feeling changes all the time
Early morning calls me back
I wake in another world that others seem so
hard to find
Make the most of what you have
Dancing time in rhythm
pulls
You keep supplying energy
You're the body machine
They wish
they could be like you
A perfect balance rarely seen
It's a dream
Chorus 3:
Is it fine it should be this good
I'm feeling changes all the time
Early morning calls me back
I wake in another world that others seem so
hard to find
Make the most of what you have
Dancing time in rhythm
pulls
You keep supplying energy
You're the body machine
They wish
they could be like you
A perfect balance rarely seen
Repeat Chorus 2
Make the most of what you have
Dancing timel in rhythm pulls
You
keep supplying energy
You're the body machine
They wish they could be
like you
A perfect balance rarely seen
Is it right it should be this
good
I'm feeling changes all the time ...
This time, you said it all, it's there in black and white
The years of
struggle fade in the end, the words felt right
All worries are gone, you've
been for so long, another writer wronged
Fame suits you well, you hardly
can tell, you're another writer wronged
You hid from shadows in the attics of the world
Sheltered the truth, it
grew and at last your voice was heard
The pen was your sword, you've even
been called, another writer wronged
Fame suits you well, you hardly can
tell, you're another writer wronged
Chorus I:
Here I sit as we dine at the country club
I am wondering what to do now
I can write but it doesn't seem logical
Money has a strange effect somehow
Critics look, loved the book
The plot had such a clever hook
Life is
blasé, this is how I pass my day
With friends as yet, some of which
I've never met
Chorus II:
I've been spending more time on the yacht
While I wonder what to do now
I'm too young to write philosophical
Money's had a strange effect
somehow
Critics looked, loved the book
The plot had such a clever hook
Repeat Chorus I
Repeat Chorus II
Worries are gone, you've been for so long, another writer wronged
Island of Avalon fools, heroes equal share
Truth, legend, fantasy open
every mystery
Feudal kings that bore no child
Witches fires burning
wild
Chorus:
Island of Avalon, truth or lie
All is well, sound the bell
Merlin would please his king, potions, antiquities
Silas, god of the trees,
men of fabled imagery
Descendents of your mystic crown
Walk your land
where ghosts abound
Chorus
Island of Avalon as real as we pretend
Superstition without end, these
countless names you lend
Stories with no boundaries
Overflow our
histories
Chorus
"Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together"
"I've
got some real estate here in my bag"
So we bought a pack of cigarettes
and Mrs. Wagner's pie
And walked off to look for America
"Kathy," I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
"Michigan
seems like a dream to me now"
It took me four days to hitchhike from
Saginaw
I've come to look for America
I've come to look for America
Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in
the gabardine suit was a spy
I said "Be careful his bowtie is really a
camera"
"Toss me a cigarette I think there's one in my raincoat"
"We
smoked the last one an hour ago"
So I looked at the scenery, she read
her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field
"Kathy, I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping
"I'm
empty and aching and I don't know why"
Counting the cars on the New
Jersey Turnpike
They've all come to look for America
All come to look
for America
All come look for America
Part 1
You, winter and spring
Deepest emotion everything
You fill my
empty life
Take my hand, hold me close
The storm is long, you
You, dreaming of me
One voice together
Eyes that see
You, crying
in the night
Took my love, kept me warm
Till daybreak came, you
How my heart needs you
You, you
Part 2
I walk in twilight
A tightrope stretches out in front of me
A skyline,
a strange distortion of everything I see
You took my hand and left me
reeling
If I talk to myself, I'm talking to you
You hold me in the balance of your
love that's true
It's you
It's you
I need only you
You should have kept me
Words cannot express the way I feel
The void
around me
An empty space that only you can fill
You took my mind and gave me healing
If I talk to myself I'm thinking of
you
From the corners of their eyes, they're watching me too
It's you
It's you
I need only you
I feel it won't be long
Until you realise you were wrong
You will feel
the need for me
I wake to find us gone
From where we used to be together, loving
I
wake to find us gone
From where we used to be together, laughing
A part of me I left with you
Reflects in all I do, I'm crying
A
part of me I left with you
Reflects in all I do, I'm crying
Crying, over you
(Instrumental)
I searched to find some truth within this world
That lay before these
shadows
I searched to find some truth within this world
That lay
before these shadows
A part of me I left with you
Reflects in all I do, I'm crying
A part
of me I left with you
Reflects in all I do, I'm crying
Crying, over you
