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
Flames of love now ash just drifts away
Here I am I'm lost and love's astray
I can never love again
For love lied and it died in the end

If I knew then what I know now
If I had known it all somehow
Always believing
Love deceiving
I could have held my shattered dream
Seen all the things I should have seen
Now I know love lies
Now I know love is bound to die

So much love now gone just 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

I thought I saw love in his eyes
But now I know that love just lies
Leaving me hollow
Nothing to follow
So I will never give me heart
And I will always stand 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
The kiss the questions never asked
And now I know that love just lies
I know love is bound to die

Love lies love dies
Love lies love dies
Love lies love dies
Love lies love dies
Love lies love dies
Love lies love dies
Love lies love dies
Love lies love dies
Love lies love dies

. . .


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 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

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

All my love
will melt the stone
held in a friendly hand
across the mountains
to the sea
the wind will kiss the sand

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

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

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

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

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

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 (x2)
