"22,000 Days"

"22,000 Days"



Even tho' I know it's only
Me and my dreams
That drive me so let me go please
Let me go onto tomorrow
One day at a time
Now I know the only foe is time

22,000 days, 22,000 days it's not alot,
It's all you got 22,000 days
22,000 nights, 22,000 nights, it's all you know
So start the show and this time
Feel the flow and get it right

Now the time when I first saw you is over and gone
Then I knew my life with you would go on
Knowing you so much longer
I've change in mind change for you
You have changed to mine

22,000 days, 22,000 days it's not alot,
It's all you got 22,000 days
22,000 nights, 22,000 nights, it's all you know
So start the show and this time
Feel the flow and get it right

Everybody knows, it always shows
Wasting time's an aggravation
Got no time for confrontation
You want to take a lot
By love by law or stealth
Time's the only real wealth you have got

Even tho' I know it's only me and my dreams
That drive me so let me go please
Let me go onto tomorrow
One day at a time
Now I know the only foe is time

22,000 days, 22,000 days it's not alot,
It's all you got 22,000 days
22,000 nights, 22,000 nights, it's all you know
So start the show 22,000 days

22,000 days, 22,000 days it's not alot,
It's all you got 22,000 days
22,000 nights, 22,000 nights, it's all you know
So start the show 22,000 ways

"A Simple Game"

"A Simple Game"



As time goes by you will see
That we're going to be free
You and me, we'll touch the sky
Can you see in your mind's eye
That we are one
We're all the same
And life is just a simple game

There, by your side, I will be
When this crazy world is free
Free from doubt
When it finds out
Exactly what we're meant to be
That we are one
We're all the same
And life is just a simple game

Thoughts of another day
Flashing through my head
Thinking how life could be
All of the things that our great men have said
Be what we want to be
What we deserve to be
What we are meant to be

As time goes by, you will see
That we're going to be free
You and me, we'll touch the sky
Can you see in your mind's eye
That we are one
We're all the same
And life is just a simple game

We're gonna be free
Oohhh, gonna be free
Gonna be free
(Free, gonna be free, gonna be free, Oohhh)

"A Winter's Tale"

"A Winter's Tale"



The nights are colder now
Maybe I should close the door
And anyway the snow has covered all your footsteps
And I can follow you no more

The fire still burns at night
The memories are warm and clear
But everybody knows
It's hard to be alone this time of year

It was only a winter's tale
Just another winter's tale
And why should the world take notice
Of one more love that's failed?

A love that can never be
Though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world-wide scale
We're just another winter's tale

While I stand alone
A bell is ringing far away
I wonder if you're here
I wonder if you're listening
I wonder where you are today
Good luck, I wish you well
For all that wishes may be worth
I hope that love and strength
Are with you for the length
Of your time on earth

It was only a winter's tale
Just another winter's tale
And why should the world take notice
Of one more love that's failed?

It's a love that can never be
Though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world-wide scale
We're just another winter's tale

It was only a winter's tale
Just another winter's tale
And why should the world take notice
Of one more love that's failed?

It's a love that can never be
Though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world-wide scale
We're just another winter's tale

We're just another winter's tale

"After You Came"

"After You Came"



Since it began I've got one dream and really It's my only blessing
If I can come through then so can you
And you will find there's no regretting
Things that you want from your life's font
Will never let your spirit grow
Come back to earth for what it's worth
For you've been dreaming of the ceiling not a home

I've been doing my best
What else can I do?
Is there something I've missed
That will help you through

I've reached the top of my wall
I've found another way to fall

For some short time
For a while you and I were joined to eternity
Then we're split in two back to me and you
Like the rain rising from the sea
Rising from the sea

We all can see what we shall be
But knowing's really not controlling

With time perhaps I'll pass the traps and find some peace and understanding
After you've come and while you're gone
You leave me guessing - It's depressing
Never to know the way to go to find some time along a little less pressing
So you just have to laugh
When it hurts so much
You're so far away and so hard to touch

I've reached the top of my wall
I've found another way to fall

Since it began I've got one dream and really It's my only blessing
If I can come through then so can you
And you will find there's no regretting
Things that you want from your life's font
Will never let your spirit grow
Come back to earth for what it's worth
For you've been dreaming of the ceiling not a home

I've been doing my best
What else can I do?
Is there something I've missed
That will help you through

I've reached the top of my wall
I've found another way to fall

"All That Is Real Is You"

"All That Is Real Is You"



All the world over I've searched for a dream
I've found out that life is not what it seems
I've seen all the wonders the world has to give
But all that is real is you.

All of the silver and all of the gold
Seems worthless to me
Lifeless and cold
I've known all the treasure
A man can possess
But all that is real is you.

So bring me back home
My love - my love
Oh how I need you
Take me back home
My love - my love
Oh how I love you.

Even the place where my heart used to fly
The warm summer breeze
The wild seabirds cry
All are illusions and all just a dream
'Cos all that is real is you.

So bring me back home
My love - my love
Oh how I need you
Take me back home
My love - my love
Oh how I love you.

All the world over I've searched for a dream
I've found out that life is not what it seems
I've seen all the wonders the world has to give
But all that is real is you

'Cos all that is real is you.

"And My Baby's Gone"

"And My Baby's Gone"



Without a love anymore
I'm like a rich man growing poor
All my treasures are stone
Yeah, all my treasures are stone
And my baby, my baby, my baby
My baby is gone

Without your heart anymore
I'm like a room without doors
When I walk in, I fall
When I walk in, I fall
And my baby, my baby, my baby
My baby is gone

"And The Tide Rushes In"

"And The Tide Rushes In"



I've been searching for my dream
A hundred times today
I build them up, you knock them down,
Like they were made of clay,

Then the tide rushes in
And washes my castles away.
Then I'm really not so sure
Which side of the bed I should lay,
I should lay...

You keep looking for someone
To tell your troubles to,
I'll sit down and lend an ear
Yet I hear nothing new.

Then the tide rushes in
And washes my castles away.
Then I'm really not so sure
Which side of the bed I should lay,
I should lay...

Blackbird sitting in a tree
Observing what's below
Acorns falling to the ground,
He'll stay and watch them grow.

"Are You Sitting Comfortably"

"Are You Sitting Comfortably"



Take another sip my love and see what you will see,
A fleet of golden galleons, on a crystal sea.
Are you sitting comfortably?
Let Merlin cast his spell.

Ride along the winds of time and see where we have been,
The glorious age of Camelot, when Guinevere was Queen.
It all unfolds before your eyes
As Merlin casts his spell.

The seven wonders of the world he'll lay before your feet,
In far-off lands, on distant shores, so many friends to meet.
Are you sitting comfortably?
Let Merlin cast his spell.

"Bless The Wings (That Bring You Back)"

"Bless The Wings (That Bring You Back)"



Like the rose that blooms in the wintertime
As it reaches up through the snow
The more life keeps apart
The more love will grow
Like the seed that grows in the darkness
As it reaches up to the sun
I will always reach out for you
'Cos you are the one

I bless the wings that bring you back to me
Back across the shore
If I could touch you now my darling
And love you just once more
If I could hold you, hold you, hold you,
I know you'd understand,
I know you'd understand.

As I cross the bridge by the waterfall
As I make my way by the stars
There's a shadow walking beside me
Here in my heart
Like the restless wind in the tree tops
Like a whispered voice in my ear
I will always be there for you
I'll always be here

I bless the wings that bring you back to me
Back across the shore
If I could touch you now my darling
And love you just once more
If I could hold you, hold you, hold you,
I know you'd understand,
I know you'd understand.

In a far off wonderland
That flashes past my eyes
The kiss of inspiration that was mine
The dust of many centuries
Has blown across this land
But love will not be scattered by the sand

Like the sunrise over the mountainside
Like the bird that has to be free
There's a part of you that will always be
Part of me
Like the seed that grows in the darkness
I will always reach out for you
'Cos you are the one

I bless the wings that bring you back to me
Back across the shore
If I could touch you now my darling
And love you just once more
If I could hold you, hold you, hold you,
I know you'd understand,
I know you'd understand,
I know you'd understand,
I know you'd understand.
