Tall machines wait in line
So still lost in time
Jets turn and make no sound
Returning to the solid ground
People drift out of time
Watching numbers turn
Seems that Iґve been waiting here forever

Jetstream
Stormy seas
Cast adrift on a troubled dream
Iґve seen the sleeping ships at night
I will meet you there
The roar of the engine in the air
(Jetstream)

Leave the things you donґt need
And the ones that you donґt love
Faith and hope
Keeps our minds together
Your heartґs left the ground tonight
Scattered lost in light
Seems that Iґve been waiting here forever

Jetstream
Carbon seas
Cast adrift on a troubled dream
Iґve seen the silent jets at night
I will meet you there
The roar of the engine high in the air
(Jetstream)

Sleeping ships in the night
Shining steel lost in time
Jets turn make no sound
Returning to the safer ground
People running outta time
Lost in love last in line
Seems Iґve waited here forever

Jetstream
Stormy seas
Cast adrift on a troubled dream
I see the silent jets at night
I will take you there
The roar of the engine pollutes the air

Jetstream

Jetstream

. . .


I hear a sound, a sound above my head
Distant sound of thunder, moving out on the moor

Blackbirds flew in and to the cooling towers
I'll pack my bags
Thinking of one of those hours
With you, waiting for you

My God, it takes an ocean of trust
In the Kingdom of Rust

I long to feel some beauty in my heart
As I go searching, right to the start
Hmmm
The road back to Preston
Was jutted out in snow
As I went looking for that stolen heart
For you, waiting for you

My God, it takes an ocean of trust
Takes an effort it does
My god, it takes an ocean of trust
It's in the Kingdom of Rust

Oooow in the Kingdom of Rust

I long to feel that wince in my heart
As I went looking
I couldn't stop
Now I'm waiting for you

Ooohh .............
I know it takes an ocean of trust
In the Kingdom of Rust

Jonny be lost
Jonny be calm
Walk away
Don't jump the gun

Get in the cast
Thinking it through
Look at it ???
Look at the rules

Don't believe
What they say
Jonny be cool, yeah
Jonny be ???

Just the two of us
Making fools of us
Just the two of us
Wanna feel again
Kicking our heels again
Just the two of us

Nothing to lose
So nothing gets lost
Measure the truth
Measure the cost

So rejoice
In ???
In the universe
Just the two of us
Just the two of us

Just the two of us
Making fools of us
Making fools of us
Wanna feel again
Kicking our heels again
Two of us

. . .


Wherever you go
You will be with me
You and you could talk
You'll be talking to me

But your secret world
As we walk on by
We've discovered the birds
And the doves go approaching

Climb the long grassy track, to the top of Winter Hill
Climb the real rocky track
I'll see you back on Winter Hill

Wherever you go
You return ???
You and you will walk
You'll be walking with me

But if comes the day
You meet someone new
You will be be with him
But I'll be thinking of you

Climb the long grassy track, to the top of Winter Hill
Climb the real rocky track, to Winter Hill
I'll see you back on Winter Hill

Where she traveled far
Yeah we stayed apart
But she crashed alone
On Winter Hill

Climb the long grassy track, to the top, can't turn back
Climb the real rocky track, to the top of Winter Hill
I'll see you back
On Winter Hill

10:03
On a fast train
A trick of light
Crossing my eyes
The sky went blank
Calling out your name

Calling out your name

Like the last
Of those fires
You shall burn, into the night

Like a moth,
To the flame
I will turn back again, I'm coming home

Calling out your name

All I've ever known

Distant call
Down the way
Distant train, on the line

I return
To your sign
With the push and the pull of your time

It's all I've ever known

Calling out your name

All I've come along......

Lord, I'm coming home

[Instrumental]

On the fast train

The English skyline
Falls down to the future
No one noticed
In this Empire

Cause I'm the greatest denier
And I will cut you if you look

The English bloodline
Clashes in the sun
No one noticed
We are coming down

Well I'm the greatest denier
But I can cut you with a look

???

I'm the greatest denier
I was the greatest denier
And I can cut you with a look

Clashing in the sun

Some revolution

I Couldn't sleep ???
Wake you up when we're done

. . .


the car zoomed past
i watched the passers by
birds flew backwards
yet still arrived
winter seemed to linger
but now the swallows have arrived
it won’t be long
until summertime

walked through woods to the power lines
saw birds fly backwards in perfect line
winter seemed to melt now
now the swallows have arrived
it can’t be long until summertime
summertime

. . .


those eyes they transmit
all your loving
echos light into dark hearts
i would swear I've seen this, left beside me
your eyes they hypnotize

she keeps me here so spellbound
her love pulls me near to stranger ground
I've lost my mind there
this dark magic mirror, spellbound

a heart-shaped face
with words as cold as stone
i can't believe this is my fate

she raised your head
now the night, it's coming down
i accept this fate i accept my love you won't be long
you keep me here so spellbound
your love pulls me near to sacred ground
i lost my mind there
this dark magic mirror, spellbound
and i can't leave now
leave her now (x2)

she keeps me near so spellbound
her love pulls me near to stranger ground
i lost my mind there
this dark magic mirror, spellbound (x2)
so spellbound (x3)

. . .


All the love you stole
All the love you sought
Exposing you
I am torn

Dark spell, I crave you so
I wanna live, but you just won't let me go

We laid there in starlight
Woke-up in the storm
Am I yours?
I'm not sure

Dark spell, you cast me so
I wanna live, but you just won't leave me alone

And the wheel keeps turning
I can't get enough
And the flame keeps burning
And I surrender love

They say the eyes are like
Windows to the soul
I ain't so sure
I see through yours

My borders are broken raw
I just can't protect, can't protect them no more

And the wheel keeps turning
I can't get enough
And the flame keeps burning
And I surrender love

Turn your back on another world
Promise yourself "never again"

The wheel keeps turning
But I can't get enough
And the sun keeps burning
And I surrender love

. . .


Faces in the hallway
Cracks up in the ceiling
Shadows coming my way
And your house is full of mirrors

It echoes in the alleyway
Of footsteps in the hall
And this house is full of mirrors
And your house is full of mirrors

And it's time for you to come stay
And it's time for you to find a way
And it's time for you to come and stay
In the house of mirrors

Echoes in the alleyway
Footsteps on the floor
I never thought I'd see the day
And this house is full of mirrors

Is there anybody out there
I saw it coming my way
But this house is full of mirrors
Yeah this house of many mirrors

And it's time for you to come stay
And it's time for you to find a way
Oh every room and every hall
I see your face
And it's time for you to come and stay
In the house of mirrors

Yeah faces in the hallway
Shadow on the ceiling
The shit is coming my way
And this house is full of mirrors
Echoes in the alleyway
Footsteps in the hall
I saw it coming my way
This house is full of mirrors

Oh every room and every hall
I see your face
And it's time for you to come and stay
In the house of mirrors

. . .


I
Feels like a place I've never been
And I
Feels like a place I've never seen

Oh
Somebody's giving it but I'm not
Somebody's giving it but I'm not
Somebody's giving it a lot of time
Somebody threw you a lifeline

Somebody wakes to the sun in the sky
Others are living with hate in their eyes

Oh
The fires that you made and the earth that you walk
The ground beneath and the words that you talk
The fires that you own and the words that you talk
The ground beneath and the air that we walk
All gone

And yeah
Like pictures of the sun

And yeah
Just like sketches of the sun
The colours run

Somebody's giving it but I'm not
Somebody's giving up the whole lot
Somebody's giving it a long time
Somebody threw me a lifeline

Sometimes it's hard to see things straight
Trying to make sense of a single day
Sometimes you seem to spend your life trying
Well I'm just looking for my lifeline

Fires that you made and the earth that you walk
The ground beneath and the words that you talk
Fires that you own and the words that you talk
The ground beneath and the air that we walk
The air that we walk on
All gone

I
Feels like a place I've never been

. . .


To the north my medicine
To my east the burning sun
I set sail on the ship of fools

The south she waits
But I can't go there again
I'm bound west on the ship of fools

All your love
and all your hope
all your joy
and sense of wonder

Keep it near
Keep it safe
Don't let it steal it from you
All the dreams
And all the pressure
Never let it send you under
don't let it send you under

All the gold
All that way
Could never buy trust so long
For its price
Its not the same
So I keep my eyes so far

All the people
All the work
All the money
And all the hurt

To the north my medicine
To my east the burning sun
I set sail on the ship that's doomed

The south she waits
But I can't go there again
I'm bound west on the ship of fools

All your love
And all your hope
All your joy
And sense of Wonder

All the dreams
And all the pressure
Never let it send you under
Never let it send you under

The ocean awaits
It calls me again
But I'm bound to a ship of fools

. . .


Born on a train nowhere
I was born in a car out there
You were bound to live this life
You were bound to be alive

When I was a young man
I looked up to the ones by my side
I was bound by a love and despair
I was bound by a love and despair

The last son

You gotta a nerve to come back here again
But I guess that's how it goes
You always hurt the ones you know

The last Son

Tell me how you know
When your love wont die but grows
I am that son

Born to a northern star
With the fallow stretching far
I never knew there's another way
I never knew I'd leave this way

Now I'm an older man
Trying to accept the person I'am
I was born to live this way
I was bound to live this way

But I want to see you again
But I guess that's how it goes
You always hurt the love you know

The last son

Tell me how did you know
When your love wont die but grows
The last son
I am that son

Well I wonder how you know
Why your love wont die but grows
But I guess that's how it goes
You gotta learn to let them
Let those people go
Learn to let them go

The last son
