Nunc angelorum gloria

Falling Slowly

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

 
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You'll make it now

 
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

 
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice

 
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing it loud

Keep walking on the wild side, Lou...

Holly came from Miami FLA
Hitch-hiked her way across the USA.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her leg and then he was a she
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,
Said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.

 
Candy came from out on the island,
In the backroom she was everybody's darling,
But she never lost her head
Even when she was given head
She said, hey baby, take a walk on the wild side
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
And the coloured girls go, doo doo doo, doo ...

 
Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York city is the place where they said:
Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I Said hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side

 
Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should have seen him go go go
They said, hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side

 
Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that dash
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
And the coloured girls say doo doo doo, doo ...

Tempest

Tive um coraçao perdi-o

Tive um coração perdi-o
Ai quem mo dera encontrar
Tive um coração perdi-o
Ai quem mo dera encontrar

Preso no fundo do rio
Ou afogado no mar
Preso no fundo do rio
Ou afogado no mar

Quem me dera ir embora
Ir embora sem voltar
Quem me dera ir embora
Ir embora não voltar

A morte que me namora
Já me pode vir buscar
A morte que me namora
Já me pode vir buscar

Tive um coração perdi-o
Ainda o vou encontrar
Tive um coração perdi-o
Ainda o vou encontrar

Preso no lodo do rio
Ou afogado no mar
Preso no lodo do rio
Ou afogado no mar

Somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

 
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

 
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

 
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

 
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

 
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Anghjulina

I Can't Make You Love Me

Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices
Inside my head

 
Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close
Don't patronize

 
Don't patronize me

 
'Cuz I can't make you love me
If you don't
You can't make your heart feel
Something it won't
Here in the dark
In these final hours
I will lay down my heart
And I'll feel the power
But you won't
No, you won't
'Cuz I can't make you love me
If you don't

 
I'll close my eyes
Then I won't see
The love you don't feel
When you're holding me

 
Morning will come
And I'll do what's right
Just give me till then
To give up this fight

 
And I will give up this fight

'Cuz I can't make you love me
If you don't
You can't make your heart feel
Something it won't
Here in the dark
In these final hours
I will lay down my heart
And I'll feel the power
But you won't
No, you won't
'Cuz I can't make you love me
If you don't

Song for Whoever

I remember California

I remember redwood trees, bumper cars and wolverines
The ocean's Trident submarines
Lemons, limes and tangerines
I remember this

I remember traffic jams
Motor boys and girls with tans
Nearly was and almost rans
I remember this
History is made
History is made to seem unfair

I recall that you were there
Golden smile and shining hair
I recall it wasn't fair
Recollect it wasn't fair
Remembering it wasn't fair outside

Low ebb, high tide
The lowest ebb and highest tide
A symbol wave I must confide
I guess we took us for a ride
I guess it's just a gesture

I remember this defense
Progress fails pacific sense
All those sweet conspiracies
I remember all these things

I remember traffic jams
Motor boys and girls with tans
Nearly was and almost rans
I remember this, this

Low ebb, high tide
The lowest ebb and highest tide
I guess we took us for a ride
I guess it's just a gesture

At the end of the continent
At the edge of the continent
At the end of the continent
At the edge of the continent

California waiting

Little Mona Lisa laying by my side
"Crimson and Clover" pullin' overtime
I'm too close to be losin' touch
By givin' in, what am I givin' up
Am I losin' way too much

Hey
California waiting
Every little thing's gotta be just right
Say
While you're tryin' to save me
Can't I get back my lonely life

I'm goin' so fast that I can't slow down
It's hard to get up when you're spinnin' round and round
I'd tell you the news but nothin's changed
I'd sing you a song but they blew it away
All wrapped up in this stupid ass game

Hey
California waiting
Every little thing's gotta be just right
Say
While you're tryin' to save me
Can't I get back my lonely life
Can't I get back my lonely life

Hollywood

Could you be a teenage idol
Could you be a movie star
When l turn on my TV
Will you smile and wave at me telling Oprah who you are.
So you want to be a rock star
With blue eyed bunnies in your bed
Well remember when you’re rich that you sold yourself for this,
you’ll be famous cuz you’re dead.

So don’t go higher for desire
Put it in your head
Baby Hollywood is dead you can find it in yourself.

I don’t want to take you dancing
When you’re dancing with the world
Well you can flash your caviar and your million dollar car
I don’t need that kind of girl
but you could be that next sensation or
will you set the latest style
You don’t need a catchy song
Cuz the kids will sing along
When you shoot it with a smile

So don’t go higher for desire
Put it in your head
Baby Hollywood is dead you can find it in yourself.

So don’t fly higher for your fire
Put it in your head
Baby Hollywood is dead you can find it in yourself.
Keep it on your head Hollywood is dead.

Well you can do the mighty tango
You can start your little thing
You can swing from vine to vine
While the kiddies wait in line
With the money in their hands
But if you get to California
Save a piece of gold for me
If it’s the only thing you save
Then I’ll bet you’ll never wave when I watch you on TV.

So don’t go higher for desire
Put it in your head
Baby Hollywood is dead you can find it in yourself.

So don’t fly higher for your fire
Put it in your head
Baby Hollywood is dead you can find it in yourself.

Keep on loving what is true and the world will come to you,
you can find it in yourself

Love what is true and the world will come to you,
you can find it in yourself
No no no no no
Keep it in your head Hollywood is dead
Come come Hollywood is dead babe woo hoo
Oh Hollywood is dead yeah yeah
Keep on loving what is true and the world will come to you,
you can find it in yourself
Get it in your head Hollywood is dead

California Dreamin'

All the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
on a winter's day

 
I'd be safe and warm
if I was in L.A
California Dreamin'
on such a winter's day

 
Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
well, I got down on my knees
and I pretend to pray

 
Yyou know the preacher likes the cold
he knows I'm gonna stay
California Dreamin'
on such a winter's day

 
All the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
on a winter's day

 
If I didn't tell her
I could leave today
California Dreamin'
on such a winter's day

It Never Rains in Southern California

Got on board a westbound seven forty seven
Didn't think before deciding what to do
Ooh, that talk of opportunities, TV breaks and movies
Rang true, sure rang true

Seems it never rains in Southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours

Out of work, I'm out of my head
Out of self respect, I'm out of bread
I'm underloved, I'm underfed, I wanna go home
It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours

Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it
Had offers but didn't know which one to take
Please don't tell 'em how you found me
Don't tell 'em how you found me
Gimme a break, give me a break

Seems it never rains in Southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours

New York to California

Under the TV lights, you fell asleep again
Dont know, I'm writing this song about you
There's a picture of a Hollywood sign, reflecting off your skin I
Don't want to live another day without you
You woke up and said baby I, had one of those dreams again
The rain came down and I lost you, In the wind
You said something about don't leave, before you fell back asleep
Before I could sing my song back to you
 
But you could find yourself lost out in this world
And I found a way to get back to your side
no mountain's too high, no stone is too small
I'll build a bridge through the fire, for you I would crawl
From New York to California
 
I could hear you softly breathe, oh what you do to me
But baby I could climb down into your dreams
I Build a ladder down through the clouds
Where the storms Is raging now I
Don't want to sing another song without you
 
If you find yourself lost out in this world
Then I'll find a way to get back to your side
no mountain's too high, no stone is too small
I'll build a bridge through the fire, for you I would crawl
From New York to California
Cause you, could find yourself lost out in this world
And I, Could find a way to get back to your side
 
If you find yourself lost out in this world
Then I'll find a way to get back to your side
No mountain's too high, no stone is too small
I'll build a bridge through the fire, for you I would crawl
From New York to California, To California, To California

Leaving New York

It's quiet now

And what it brings

Is everything

Comes calling back

A brilliant night

I'm still awake

I looked ahead

I'm sure I saw you there

You don't need me

To tell you now

That nothing can compare

You might have laughed if I told you

You might have hidden A frown

You might have succeeded in changing me

I might have been turned around

It's easier to leave than to be left behind

Leaving was never my proud

Leaving New York, never easy

I saw the light fading out

Now life is sweet

And what it brings

I tried to take

But loneliness

It wears me out

It lies in wait

And I've lost

Still in my eyes

The shadow of necklace

Across your thigh

I might've lived my life in a dream, but I swear

This is real

Memory fuses and shatters like glass

Mercurial future, forget the past

It's you, it's what I feel.

You might have laughed if I told you (it's pulling me apart)

You might have hidden a frown (change)

You might have succeeded in changing me (it's pulling me apart)

I might have been turned around (change)

It's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart)

Leaving was never my proud (change)

Leaving New York, never easy (it's pulling me apart)

I saw the light fading out

You find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart

You find it in your heart, change...

I told you, forever

I love you, forever

I told you, I love you

I love you, forever

I told you, forever

You never, you never

You told me forever

You might have laughed if I told you

You might have hidden the frown

You might have succeeded in changing me

I might have been turned around

It's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart)

Leaving was never my proud (change)

Leaving New York never easy (it's pulling me apart)

I saw the life fading out (change)

Leaving New York, never easy (it's pulling me apart)

I saw the light fading out (change)

Leaving New York never easy (it's pulling me apart)

I saw the life fading out (change) 

Englishman in New York

I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear

I like my toast done on one side

And you can hear it in my accent when I talk

I'm an Englishman in New York

See me walking down Fifth Avenue

A walking cane here at my side

I take it everywhere I walk

I'm an Englishman in New York

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York

If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said

Then he's the hero of the day

It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile

Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety

You could end up as the only one

Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society

At night a candle's brighter than the sun

Takes more than combat gear to make a man

Takes more than a license for a gun

Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can

A gentleman will walk but never run

If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said

Then he's the hero of the day

It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile

Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York 

New York State of Mind

Some folks like to get away

Take a holiday from the neighbourhood

Hop a flight to Miami Beach

Or to Hollywood

But I'm taking a Greyhound

On the Hudson River Line

I'm in a New York state of mind 

I've seen all the movie stars

In their fancy cars and their limousines

Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens

But I know what I'm needing

And I don't want to waste more time

I'm in a New York state of mind 

It was so easy living day by day

Out of touch with the rhythm and blues

But now I need a little give and take

The New York Times, The Daily News 

It comes down to reality

And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide

Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside

I don't have any reasons

I've left them all behind

I'm in a New York state of mind 

It was so easy living day by day

Out of touch with the rhythm and blues

But now I need a little give and take

The New York Times, The Daily News 

It comes down to reality

And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide

Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside

I don't have any reasons

I've left them all behind

I'm in a New York state of mind 

I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line

'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind 

On Broadway

They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
they say there's always magic in the air
but when you're walkin' down the street
and you ain't had enough to eat
the glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere.

 
They say the women treat you fine on Broadway
but lookin' at them just gives me the blues
'cause how ya gonna make some time
when all you got is one thin dime
and one thin dime won't even shine your shoes.

 
They say that I won't last too long on Broadway
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home they all say
but they're dead wrong I know they are
'cause I can play this here guitar
and I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway

New York, New York

Start spreading the news
I am leaving today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York 

 
These vagabond shoes
They are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York 

 
I want to wake up in that city
That doesn't sleep
And find I'm king of the hill
Top of the heap 

 
My little town blues
They are melting away
I gonna make a brand new start of it
In old New York 

 
If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York 

 
New York, New York
I want to wake up in that city
That never sleeps
And find I'm king of the hill
Top of the list
Head of the heap
King of the hill 

 
This little town blues
They have all melted away
I am about to make a brand new start of it
Right there in old New York 

 
And if I can make it there
You know, I'm gonna make it just about anywhere
Come on, come through
New York, New York, New York

We all fall in love sometimes

Wise men say
It looks like rain today
It crackled on the speakers
And trickled down the sleepy subway trains
For heavy eyes could hardly hold us
Aching legs that often told us
It's all worth it
We all fall in love sometimes

The full moon's bright
And starlight filled the evening
We wrote it and I played it
But something happened it's so strange this feeling
Naive notions that were childish
Simple tunes that tried to hide it
But when it comes
We all fall in love sometimes

Didn't we? Did we? Should we? Could we?
I'm not sure but sometimes we're so blind
Struggling through the day
When even your best friends say
Don't you find?
We all fall in love sometimes

Hmmm...

Oh, yeah..
And only passing time
Could kill the boredom we acquired
Running with the losers for a while
And our empty sky was filled with laughter
Just before the flood
Painting worried faces with a smile

Wise men say
It looks like rain today
It crackled on the speakers
And trickled down the sleepy subway trains
For heavy eyes could hardly hold us
Aching legs that often told us
It's all worth it
We all fall in love sometimes

Oh oh oh...

We all fall in love some times...

Mad World

All around me are familiar faces

Worn out places, worn out faces

Bright and early for their daily races

Going nowhere, going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses

No expression, no expression

Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow

No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny

I find it kinda sad

The dreams in which I'm dying

Are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you

I find it hard to take

When people run in circles

It's a very, very mad world mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday

And I feel the way that every child should

Sit and listen, sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous

No one knew me, no one knew me

Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson

Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kinda funny

I find it kinda sad

The dreams in which I'm dying

Are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you

I find it hard to take

When people run in circles

It's a very, very mad world ... mad world

Enlarging your world

Mad world 

Parisienne Walkways

Islands

Islands from the first time we saw
we could wait for this moment

like rocks on the shore.

We can never be closer somehow 

for the moments that lasts, 

is this moment now.

(chorus) 

When the nights's on fire will you keep 

the candlelight burning,

hold on to your heart's desire.

When you see one bird 

into the wind another one's turning 

and the two can fly much higher.

We are islands but never too far, 

we are islands 

and I need your light tonight, 

and I need your light tonight.

We are islands but never too far, 

we are islands

and I need your light tonight, 

and I need your light tonight.

Islands never been to before 

and we climb so high 

to where the wild birds soar.

There's a new path that we found just today 

I was lost in the forest 

and you showed me the way.

(chorus 2x)

John McLaughlin, Paco de Lucía, Larry Coryell - Meeting of the Spirits

Ho Hey

I've been trying to do it right
I've been living a lonely life
I've been sleeping here instead
I've been sleeping in my bed,

I've been sleeping in my bed

So show me family
all the blood that i will bleed
I dunno where I belong
I dunno where I went wrong,
but I can write a song

I belong with you, you belong with me
you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me
you're my sweet

I don't think you're right for him
think of what it might have been if you
took a bus to Chinatown
I'd be standing on Canal
and Bowery
and she'd be standing next to me

I belong with you, you belong with me
you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me
you're my sweetheart

And love, we need it now
Let's hope for some
Cause oh, we're bleeding out

I belong with you, you belong with me
you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me
you're my sweet

If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next

The future teaches you to be alone
The present to be afraid and cold
So if I can shoot rabbits
Then I can shoot fascists

Bullets for your brain today
But we'll forget it all again
Monuments put from pen to paper
Turns me into a gutless wonder

And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next

Gravity keeps my head down
Or is it maybe shame
At being so young and being so vain

Holes in your head today
But I'm a pacifist
I've walked Las Ramblas
But not with real intent

And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next

And on the street tonight an old man plays
With newspaper cuttings of his glory days

And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next

What's Going On

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya

 
Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

 
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on

 
In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on

 
Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh

 
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby

Annie's Song

You fill up my senses, like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses, come fill me again

Come let me love you, let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter, let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you, let me always be with you
Come let me love you, come love me again

Let me give my life to you, come let me love you, come love me again

You fill up my senses, like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses, come fill me again

My Love Is Like a Red Red Rose

O my Luve's like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve's like the melodie
That’s sweetly play'd in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I:
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry:

Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun:
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.

And fare thee well, my only Luve
And fare thee well, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho’ it were ten thousand mile.

Pura Vida

Song to the Siren

Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle
And you sang
Sail to me, sail to me
Let me enfold you
Here I am, here I am
Waiting to hold you

Did I dream you dreamed about me ?
Were you hare when I was fox ?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks
For you sing
'Touch me not, touch me not
Come back tomorrow
Oh my heart, oh my heart
Shies from the sorrow'

I am puzzled as the oyster
I am troubled as the tide
Should I stand amid your breakers ?
Or should I lie with death my bride ?
Hear me sing
'Swim to me, swim to me
Let me enfold you
Here I am, here I am
Waiting to hold you'

Close To You (even 30 years later....)

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
Of golden starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the girls in town
(Girls in town)
Follow you
(Follow you)
All around
(All around)
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
Of golden starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the girls in town
(Girls in town)
Follow you
(Follow you)
All around
(All around)
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

(Why? Close to you)
(Why? Close to you)
(Haa, close to you)
(Why? Close to you)

I Believe In You

They ask me how I feel
And if my love is real
And how I know I'll make it through
And they, they look at me and frown
They'd like to drive me from this town
They don't want me around
'Cause I believe in you

They, they show me to the door
They say don't come back no more
'Cause I don't be like they'd like me to
And I walk out on my own
A thousand miles from home
But I don't feel alone
'Cause I believe in you

I believe in you even through the tears and the laughter
I believe in you even though we be apart
I believe in you even on the morning after
Oh, when the dawn is nearing
Oh, when the night is disappearing
Oh, this feeling is still here in my heart

Don't let me drift too far
Keep me where you are
Where I will always be renewed
And that which you've given me today
Is worth more than I could pay
And no matter what they say
I believe in you

I believe in you when winter turn to summer
I believe in you when white turn to black
I believe in you even though I be outnumbered
Oh, though the earth may shake me
Oh, though my friends forsake me
Oh, even that couldn't make me go back

Don't let me change my heart
Keep me set apart
From all the plans they do pursue
And I, I don't mind the pain
Don't mind the driving rain
I know I will sustain
'Cause I believe in you

The Dancing Floor

Beside the braes of dawn
One clear new morning
Down where the lilies stood in bloom
I knew that I was just a stranger in this world
A wind just passing through
So we dared to stay
In these golden ways
We never never knew what to do
And the world kept coming screaming
All its news at me
Well, now I've got news for you

So let me take you down to the dancing floor
You can walk out on the crowd
Let us waltz away what's left of the living years
In celebration of the loved

No nothing's all that it seems
In the strands and the waves
Our steps renewed our lips confess
We were stranded at the alter of unknown delights
Down on the road to happiness
And as the sunlight fills
The highland hills
It's all become so clear somehow
That the days we spend
Were not made to end
We stand forever in their glow

So let me take you down to the dancing floor
You can walk out on the crowd
Let us waltz away what's left of the living years
In celebration of the loved
It's all glitz and sparkle down on the dancing floor
We can turn our lives around
Just leave behind that wretch that you have been
With the fool that I'd become

Now the hours are few
And the days can be so cruel (so cruel)
Yes, the nights are getting long (the nights are getting long)
And that joy that you would always bring
It'll always keep me strong

So let me take you down to the dancing floor
You can walk out on the crowd
Let us waltz away what's left of the living years
In celebration of the loved
It's all glitz and sparkle tonight on the dancing floor
We can turn our lives around
Just leave behind that wretch that you have been
With the fool that I'd become
