"Vintage Wine"

"Vintage Wine"

I remember the taste of the vintage wine
From '63 through to '69
And I'm proud of the things we believed in then
If I had the chance I'd go around again

Oh I tell you
We were young and free
Oh I'll tell you
'Cause I was there you see

And I look to the future with open arms
And the songs that flow from my old guitar
And I want to be there when the music plays
And the lights go up on the empty stage

Oh I tell you
Music set me free
Oh I tell you
It sounds so good to me

And if you're into wandering
Underneath the stars
We'll take the trip together
Through this magic world of ours

And If you're still uncertain
Just what we can be
Well baby make your mind up
Get you things and follow me

'Cause if you're into romance baby
Love will find a way
And if you're into dreaming
Dream with me

I remember the sounds of the childrens prayer
The laughing eyes and the golden hair
And as hard as I try
Not a day goes by
That I don't think of them

I tell you
We can be so free
Oh I tell you
If you'll be there with me

"Visions Of Paradise"

"Visions Of Paradise"

The sounds in my mind just come to me
Come see, come see
And the call of her eyes makes waterfalls
Of me, of me

In the garden of her love I'll stay awhile
To be, to be
What the seeds of her thoughts once mean to me
Come see, come see

Visions of paradise, cloudless skies I see
Rainbows on the hill, blue onyx on the sea
Come see, ah, ah, ah

And the sounds in my mind just come to me
Come see, come see
And the call of her eyes, makes waterfalls
Of me, of me

"Voices In The Sky"

"Voices In The Sky"

Bluebird, flying high
Tell me what you sing
If you could talk to me
What news would you bring
Of voices in the sky

Nightingale, hovering high
Harmonize the wind
Darkness, your symphony
I can hear you sing
Of voices in the sky

Just what is happening to me
I lie awake with the sound of the sea
Calling to me

Old man, passing by
Tell me what you sing
Though your voice be faint
I am listening
Voices in the sky

Children with a skipping rope
Tell me what you sing
Play time is nearly gone
The bell's about to ring
Voices in the sky

Just what is happening to me
I lie awake with the sound of the sea
Calling to me

Bluebird, flying high
Tell me what you sing
If you could talk to me
What news would you bring
Of voices in the sky
Voices in the sky
Voices in the sky
Voices in the sky

"Want To Be With You"

"Want To Be With You"

When I think of all the things
that we've been through
And the things we've yet to do
I... I start to realize
Without you by my side
The world is such a lonely place
Want to be with you

I remember all the heartaches we have known
The angry nights when we were lonely
The jealousy and pain
Can we remain the same
The world will have to hold its breath
Want to be with you

I don't need a reason
I don't need to understand
I just want to be
Want to be with you

Only want your love
Only want you by my side
Only want to be
Want to be with you

And when I look back down that road
I see the turnings that we both made
The choice we had to make
The promises we break
Are nothing more than memories
Want to be with you

The jealousy and pain
Can we remain the same
The world will have to hold its breath
Want to be with you

I don't need a reason
I don't need to understand
I just want to be
Want to be with you

Only want your love
Only want you by my side
Only want to be
Want to be with you

"Watching And Waiting"

"Watching And Waiting"

Watching and waiting
For a friend to play with
Why have I been alone so long
Mole he is burrowing his way to the sunlight
He knows there's someone there so strong

Cos here there's lots of room for doing
The thing you've always been denied
Look and gather all you want to
There's no one here to stop you trying

Soon you will see me
Cos I'll be all around you
But where I come from I can't tell
But don't be alarmed by my fields and my forests
They're here for only you to share

Cos here there's lots of room for doing
The things you've always been denied
So look and gather all you want to
There's no one here to stop you trying

Watching and waiting
For someone to understand me
I hope it won't be very long

"Water"

"Water"

Time hurries on
Look and it's gone
The changing of the autumn tide
The hopes that live
The dreams that die
If I could have you by my side
I'd give it all away

You you and I
We must hold on
We must try
To reach beyond that far off cloud
Along the road we're travelling now
If I could only show you how
I need you there with me

Oh running water
Don't care what people say

We live to love another day
Oh running water
Don't throw your love away
We live to love another day

Time hurries on
Turn around and it's gone
If only we could hold that dream
If only life was what it seemed
I know my darling what you mean
I've seen it slip away

Oh running water
Don't care what people say
We live to love another day
Oh running water
Don't throw your love away
We live to love another day

"What Am I Doing Here"

"What Am I Doing Here"

Pale the young squire who goes to fight
To die at his master's side
Living is just a dream inside
You ask me why he cried
"What am I doin' here?"
"What am I doin' here?"

Beautiful princess, fair and pale
Stares out across the sea
Alone in her castle dark and grey
Her love she'll never see
"What am I doin' here?"
"What am I doin' here?"

Tenderly bury the fair young dead
Place a wooden cross at his head
All the words you can say
Have been said
It's for you my tears are shed

What can be done, you won't believe
Listen and you may see
Everyone's dream is deep within
Find it and you'll be free
"What am I doin' here?"
"What am I doin' here?"

Tenderly bury the fair young dead
Place a wooden cross at his head
All the words you can say
Have been said
It's for you my tears are shed

Tenderly bury the fair young dead
Place a wooden cross at his head
All the words you can say
Have been said
It's for you my tears are shed

"What Child Is This"

"What Child Is This"

What child is this, who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of Mary

This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
The babe, the son of Mary
The babe, the son of Mary
The babe, the son of Mary

"When A Child Is Born"

"When A Child Is Born"

A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny spark lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A rosy hue settles all around
You've got the feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two, no one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born

It's all a dream, an illusion now
It must come true, sometime soon, somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born.

"When You Wake Up"

"When You Wake Up"

Now as we speed a little faster through the stars
To this new world of ours
With the seed that the garden requires

And as we drift a little further from the shore
Like the sea evermore
I'm the ivy that clings round your door

When you wake up
You will find
That you're not where you left yourself

Now as we drift a little further down the stream
Was it all what it seemed
Was it true
Was it real
Or just a dream

When you wake up
You will find
That you're not where you left yourself

Now as we speed a little faster through the stars
