Wishbone Ash Album

Underworld, the queen of pearls
Catches the light that's in your eyes.
She has desires, and has to get higher,
Trying to love the whole world.

Mother of pearl
She's a charity girl,
Giving herself away
To some body and soul.

Paradise if you pay the price
Inlaid with love she satisfies.
She has to pray alone everyday,
Lying in wait for the whole wide world.

Mother of pearl
She's a charity girl,
Giving herself away
To some body and soul.

Black see-through
Dressed to kill and cast her spell,
Sequins of fire for her love's desire,
She's drifting away from her open shell.

Mother of pearl
She's a charity girl,
Giving herself away
To some body and soul.

Among the stars of this side of heaven
I laid broken and destroyed
When people on the earth have cut you down
The sky's the only place to hide
As I floated in the moonlit night
You arrived to take me home
I kissed your hand and I came back to life
And all the wrong became all right

In all of my dreams
You rescue me
It always seems you rescue me
In all of my dreams
You rescue me
It always seems you come and rescue me

I was wandering down an endless road
A fallen angel in the cold
You appeared before me like a vision
To whisper love I used to know
Easily you gave to me secret promises
Like only magic words can flow

In all of my dreams
You rescue me
It always seems you rescue me
In all of my dreams
You rescue me
It always seems you come and rescue me

I thought I had been every place a man could be,
'Till I met a lady who brought me to my knees.
The day I stop loving is the day that I die,
But now I'm running from her game 'cause the lady is a lie.

I've got a choice
Run away or be torn to shreds.
I've got a life and I want to live
Don't want to be dead.

I met her down in the underground,
Got a taste of the low life, just creepin' around.
I got what I came for and more, that's for sure,
'Cause now I'm running from her game, can't take any more.

I've got a choice
Run away or be torn to shreds.
I've got a life and I want to live
Don't want to be dead.

When I first met you, baby,
I knew you could come on strong.
But when you held a knife to me,
You know, that just ain't too friendly.
I've heard of liberated,
But that's so understated.
I should have listened to them
When they told me you were crazy
And you said I was a runaway.

You shone out of the darkness
The light in your eyes.
I could not help myself
I did not want to try.

Like the singing of the Lorelei
Your voice rang clear and true
Mystery and danger was all I got from you.
Oh, you mesmerized me, oh, you tantalized,
Like the singing of the Lorelei.

And you knew everything
There was to know about me.

Like the singing of the Lorelei
Your voice rang clear and true
Mystery and danger was all I got from you.
Oh, you mesmerized, oh, you tantalized
Like the voice of the Lorelei.

She was born in a spirit of brightness
Knew just how to deal with poison wine.

Be very brave, she taught me to behave
On the road that is so long.
Be not afraid of tears,
When you know the love
Then you can know no fear.

When you know love
You can know no fear.

She looks on from her realm within the other
Now she's fighting hard to keep her sovereignty.

She will live forever
In her spirit of brightness
She will always deal with poison wine.
To stay alive
She taught me to survive
In the face of every trial.
Be not afraid of tears
When you know the love
Then you can know no fear.

When you know love
You can know no fear.

Lonely on an island shore
There's no one around.
The day is grown older now
As I catch the thought of you.

I lay awake at night
With you on my mind;
Sleep drifts over me
But still I can see you.

I knew that I wasn't dreaming anymore.
Softly, your hair in my hands
And your eyelashes opened the door.

How could we love each other
And yet be so remote?
You were carried by a changing tide
I was stranded on the shore.
