John Foxx Album

my wild love is a love that goes deeper each day
my wild dream is a dream of the sea
my whole life, I feel is turning away
from the man I thought I would be
for my wild love, my wild love....
walking, I've been walking
as the moon rose on the waves
remembering how things used to be
before everything was changed
I see your face in stained glass windows
I touch your heart, it's the heart of the sea
you come to meet me through millions of sunsets
no-one else would ever believe in my wild love
my wild love........

Someone who walks with you
Shines a light in everything you do
That someone
Someone you know from sleep
Seasons pass but some things never change
Like someone
Someone who's voice comes in from summer rooms
Who stands beside you when you least expect them to
That someone
Chorus:
Well I don't need to know, don't have to say
We'll go on living in the separate way
Oh, no need to tell, no need to explain
I'm so glad that it happened this way
And it's alright to walk with you
And it's okay to feel that way
And I feel that way
And a voice comes into mine
Saying things I almost recognise
That someone
Strange how moments last so long
Always with you long after they've gone
Like someone
Someone whose voice comes in from summer rooms
Who stands beside you when you least expect them to
That someone
Ah, that someone.
Ah, that someone
(Repeat chorus and fade)

put on your dress
ah now I can see you
across the room, the oldest ocean
it rolls and it flows
and there's a hush and a shimmer
and a rush and a glimmer
and a glide inside
and a glow....
and every move we make now
and every stop we take now
is a new unknown
put on your dress.....
now I put on my suit
ah look
and you can't see me at all
I can step through any crowd
and me and my shadow
well, we just dissolve
but there's always a secret light
and I can always find
some kind of a private sign
a hidden music that stays
and it plays even when the town gets
turned 'round at night
put on your dress
slow burning stars
tumble across your shoulders
oh take your time now
you know you always take my breath
put out the light
ah now we can see more clearly than ever
I think we're drifting at the edge of the world
you turn around and smile
and there's nothing left
no no no there's nothing left
put on your dress....

[No lyrics]

Sitting at the edge of the world
Talking with my friend
Watching the sun in her eyes
Knowing we speak the same words
And meanwhile I close my eyes and drift away
Close my eyes and drift away
Sitting at the edge of the world
Watching the sun turn round below us
Listening to the roar of the sky
Hoping we live in the same world
Meanwhile I close my eyes and drift away
Close my eyes and drift away
Chorus:
And though my nose is broken
And all my sleep is woken
And all my comfort shattered
Though I don't think it matters any more, oh no.
No no no. Oh no.
'Cause I'm sitting at the edge of the world
Sitting at the edge of the world
Talking with my friend
Watching the sun in her eyes
Knowing we speak the same words
And meanwhile I close my eyes and drift away
Close my eyes and drift away
(Chorus)
Oh, I'm sitting at the edge, at the edge of the world
Yes, I'm sitting at the edge, at the edge of the world
Sitting at the edge, at the edge of the world
Yes, I'm sitting at the edge, at the edge of the world
I'm sitting at the edge, at the edge of the world (Oh no, don't push me over)
I'm sitting at the edge, at the edge of the world (Oh no, don't pull me back)
I'm sitting at the edge, at the edge of the world (Oh no, don't pull me over)
I'm sitting at the edge, at the edge of the world (Oh no, don't push me back)
(Repeat and fade)

When she walks out, she's illuminous
When she turns round, she is someone else
And I can't find, can't find the rule or the exception
She moves towards me endlessly.
Endlessly
Endlessly
Turns her face into music
Into fire
Voice behind me says "Go on" ("Go on", "Go on")
So I go on onto towards her endlessly
Endlessly
Endlessly
"Switch the scene"
Sun is rising
Summer trees
Someone smiling
She moves towards me endlessly
Endlessly
Endlessly
She walks out, she's illuminous

Ghosts on water give
To a gentle touch
Look back in silence
I can never see far
City as a memory and a
A squeak in the shoe
All the semaphore echoes
That get (???)
Chorus:
Oh-oh, remember
Oh-oh, remember
Oh-oh, remember
Oh-oh, remember
And I can see another time
Another place, some setting sun
And I can wait forever
Walking with someone inside my arm
Twins in the strata
We travel by 'phone
And the fog is a vehicle
The fuel's in the boat
Ghosts on water's drifting
On a summer light
They can pass like sand through a hand
As they leave the world behind
(Chorus)
Ghosts on water
Ghosts on water
Ghosts on water
Ghosts on water
Ghosts on water

I see you walking in the streets again
a quiet ocean in a suit of grey
locations mixed and drifting
our features dim and shifting
I stand and watch from years away
and I see you standing there like a miracle
the parks and bridges and the old school walls
a taste of summer in the cool of the dawn
some bright clothes out of focus
the shops are still and closed up
I'm old enough to know they never wait
then I see you standing there like a miracle
I'm walking through you in these crowded places
you're swimming slowly under all these faces
the sky is going out now
I'm slowly turning round now
then someone says "it's not too late"
and I see you standing there like a miracle

I want to stay where the summer goes
change my name and change my clothes
stand in the light of forgotten windows
out of reach down the corridors
the hidden man
the hum of a forest and a lost perfume
the streets of a rainy afternoon
eyes like a tide of liquid blue
we talk about things I almost knew
the hidden man
just walk ahead in the winter haze
smoke a cigarette as the light decays
"the child is father to the man" he says-
silhouette glows in the sunsets blaze
the hidden man

In twilight's last gleaming
The sky slides away
Leaving me here at
The edge of the day
Songs in the sand
Hand on the door
I've been here so often before
In twilight's last gleaming
So smoky and gold
Endless horizons
Glister and glow
I see you in strangers
In light on the sea
In twilight's last gleaming we'll meet
In twilight's last gleaming
At this time of year
Wherever you go to
Whoever you're near
Think of these times
Remember these dreams
And twilight's last gleaming and me
