As Far As I Can See

Don't complicate your mind, she said, with what may never be
The world is what you find, she said, as far as I can see
You count your possibilities as waves upon the sea and take your chance

Just seperate the good and bad, the holy and the damned
Don't underestimate the power you hold within your hand
For even if we learn the truth, we'll never understand the mystery

Take my hand, and we'll walk together on the way
Just reach out, I will stand beside you every day
Though I know we're only strangers in paradise
Where you are is where you're meant to be
As far as I can see

Between us is a space where words are meant to be
I try to understand you but it makes no sense to me
I hope you get my drift, if you know what I mean
I'm sure something will come, one day in a dream

Take my hand, and we'll walk together on the way
Just reach out, I will stand beside you every day
Though I know we're only strangers in paradise
Where you are is where you're meant to be
As far as I can see

Goodbye To Albion

At the end of everything, we see a new beginning
As you hear the singing break the silence of the day
And I see you in the distance, moving slowly through the crowd
You are going away, you are leaving
Over the sea to the islands
As we gather for the last time for the parting of the way
For those we will remember at the closing of the day

And I’ll say goodbye to Albion
The green hills in the rain
And I’ll raise my glass to everyone
I’ll never see again

Jesus, carry me across the raging sea
I pray I will find my promised land

As the old world slips away I see a distant summer
Where life’s mysteries murmer in the mind of a child
And I hear beloved voices calling me back home
In this other eden, long ago

And I’ll say goodbye to Albion
The green hills in the rain
And I’ll raise my glass to everyone
I’ll never see again

Denpasar Moon

Denpasar Moon, shining on an empty street
I return to the place we used to meet
Denpasar moon, shine your light and let me see
That my love is still waiting there for me

I saw you standing there
Through the rain I saw you turn and smile
Where you waving to me?
Through the rain, I ran across the street
But you were gone, there as no one
You had vanished with my dreams

Denpasar Moon, shining on an empty street
I return to the place we used to meet
Denpasar moon, shine your light and let me see
That my love is still waiting there for me

But you were gone, there was no one
You were gone, flying homeward
You were gone, there was no one
You had vanished with my dreams

Denpasar Moon....

No Way Back

Take the veil upon your face
You know that I must be the answer to your prayers
Lies surround us all like stone
You cannot break the spell, you're acting on your own
(Though not a word was spoken, everything was heard)
Pray, there's no way back again
Between the now and then
From the window to the shore
No way back anymore
To the fountain of your dreams

You chose the twisting path of fantasy
You couldn't quite believe the wisdom of your soul
You won't forget the past, you can't let go
And every day you see the devil on the wall
Way beyond imagining, remembering your face
Pray, there's no way back again
Between the now and then
From the window to the shore
No way back anymore
Through the time that lies between the waking and the dream
No stories left to tell and you cannot break the spell

Holding Out My Hand

Down below the waterline
In the shadow world of passing time
We hide away our darkest fears and move toward the light
And in the warmth of better days we follow our desires
Never looking down below while walking on the wires
But suddenly I turned around
And you left me there
You left me there
Holding out my hand to you
Holding out my hand to you
Wasting all my dreams on you
I was holding out my hand to stop you from falling through

Burning Bridges

Why can't I remember?
A look, a touch across the face
I never saw you act that way
Beyond the far horizon the burning bridges crack and sigh
And now you learn to face the truth
Inside a prison of your own design

A stranger's voice upon the wind sets me spinning
Spinning, laughing homeward
then fades away....

Beyond the edge of darkness
The twisted wreckage, black and still
I was a trader on these shores
I took the risks upon my own free will

A stranger's voice upon the wind sets me spinning
Spinning, laughing homeward
then fades away....

Reap What You Sow

I was searching for someone
A restless movement carried me on
I was taking my time on the way to be who I am
When I looked down inside of me
I only saw what I wanted to see
It must have been somebody else who was to blame

I was standing by the waterside
Watching my dreams go by
Where did they go`I don't know
Walking the road to the union bridge
I couldn't feel the benefit
Oh no, I couldn't feel the benefit

As you were talking the room started spinning around
As you were talking the walls came tumbling down
And all at once it was easy to see
It's the truth that will set you free
Now I'm taking the time to get back to where I should be

I was standing by the waterside
Watching my dreams go by
But now I know
You reap just what you sow

Trying To Get To You

Skulking round your city walls
Wondering if I've got the balls
To tell it like it is or say goodnight
Looking for an opening
Tradesman's entrance, anything
To get to you and tell you it's alright
ooh I'm trying to get to you
Trying to get to you
