Never beyond my wildest dreams
Because they donʼt exist
And Iʼm not the one to try and find them
Not the one to chase something that isnʼt even there
I can see past what theyʼre trying.
Never beyond my wildest dreams
Because they donʼt exist
And Iʼm not the one to try and find them
Not the one to chase something that isnʼt even there
I can see past what theyʼre trying.
Donʼt let the others pull you down
Make you feel like youʼre the clown
Shake them off your holy gown
Cos inside you are drowning
In a place where thereʼs no sound
Pick it up see whatʼs around
Maybe you will like the sound
Cos inside you are drowning
Pick me up
Some of us donʼt know where to hide
Some of us hurt deep inside
Some of us have got to lose our pride
Cos inside you are drowning
Pick them up and make them see
What they are doing to everybody
Just want everyone to feel free
Cos inside you are drowning
Pick me up
Slam me against the shoulders of the world
Slam me in front of the pictures in your gallery
Slam me in front of the biggest tv
Show me
Pick me up
Pick them up and make them see
What they are doing to everybody
Just want everyone to feel free
Cos inside you are drowning.
Climbing into the future
Leaving a wake of life
Fresh ideas for the picking
Throw them as seeds behind
And there it is
A world of hope
Make your way
Through the undergrowth
Looking ahead what’s round the corner
Intriguing adventures all around
Leaving the map slightly unmapped
Focus but not too tight
And there it is
A world of hope
Make your way
Through the undergrowth.
Heʼs longing to reappear
Heʼs waiting to fire out another year
One day there may be time sufficient
Quickly soon the land is slipping
Be without a doubt and raise your troubled mind and go
If only we could haul the time back
Study all we need to do that thing thatʼs overshadowing
How beautiful is his love
How beautiful is his love for you
And I forgive you
Your heartʼs not really black
Ignorance now
Conscience comes back
How beautiful is his love
How beautiful is his love for you
Backing vocals: (On his day of leaving) (The one)
Weʼre getting deeper and deeper into a place called home
No turning back now the seed’s already sown
Weʼre getting deeper and deeper into a glimpse of happiness
No turning back just touch me with one caress
No chance to break the spell of it all
No chance to break the spell
Weʼre getting deeper and deeper into a view of one
No turning back ‘cos that will kill us like the burning sun
Getting deeper and deeper, stronger and stronger
Until thereʼs a bond of no return
No chance to break the spell of it all
No chance to break the spell
This is glorious.
And I am in paradise
Where the sea pulls and tugs my arms
Pulls and tugs my heart
Shining forward
Can you hear the flight of those butterflies
That I am watching swimming around my eye level
Near the huge hibiscus flower
That will die by tonight
In paradise
Where the sea pulls and tugs my arms
Pulls and tugs my heart
In paradise
Where the sea pulls and tugs my arms
Pulls and tugs my heart
Elbows below my feet
Such a cold retreat
Away, away from paradise
Jamaica.
He’s more than my soul mate
The one I can really talk to
He listens to every word I say
And laughs at those words that scatter his brain
All in adoration
He’s more than my soul mate
The one I can really talk to
We are such lost souls in our lives
Bimble bimble bimble
Take what we can
Make what we can of it all
All in adoration
How kind can he be
He’s the jewel in my crown
He is naughty just like you and me
He’s only human
All in adoration.
If only I could let you be
If only I could let you breath
I would never show my face here
If only I could see clear
I will one day when it’s all gone
I hope to catch the right ray
Before it’s all gone wrong
Wishful thinking
There’s more than that
There’s understanding
But mine’s not here
But I can feel it near
You’re my Liathach
You’re my boundless
Coming to the time of give and take
I’m so full, but what if I break?
Wishful thinking
More is needed
Mind is off again
Lasso it near or it will never hear
You’re my Liathach
You’re my boundless
You’re the warmth around me…
High speed down
High speed down the Mekong
On either side
There are houses floating, floating
Look behind, fishing boats are black shadows
Against the red water
Gently bobbing in our wake
And lush green bushes float past
Everything lives on the water
High speed down
High speed down
High speed down the Mekong.
Snow is melting away here
Climbs the mountains and disappears
Moss revealed springs up with life
Lime green, bracken orange, ruby red, bright yellow and white
And all I see is you everywhere
Lying on our backs
Looking up at the sky
Listen to the burn gurgling by
Soggy feet, but we don’t care
On the edge it was hairy up there
And I hear you say something but I can’t quite
Hear the words you say oh was it that
Winter is over
But you’ve been gone since October
You dust my wings now winter is over, over
Winter is over.
