Blessing in Desguise
BLESSING IN DISGUISE Every drop of water descending like a pearl lays upon the silken skin of this perfect girl The breeze around her body moved upwards to her face it held on like a baby that found its resting place Voices from the night before cannot be denied suddenly revealing all the pain inside Entering a well of thoughts all her fears subside all the bad things turning to a blessing in disguise She was the faintest flower washed in by the tide sending silent messages to the world outside Her face began to soften her lips took on a smile the people who had loved her came rushing to her side Voices from the night before cannot be disguised suddenly revealing all the pain inside Entering a well of thoughts all her fears subside all the bad things turning to a blessing in disguise POOL OF TEARS Laying down beside a pool staring down inside I was taken to a place somewhere new to hide at first the scene was strange and blue then ghostly voices that I knew a bed, a voice, a woman cried a child a boy, a light inside this my dream for all those years turned into my deepest fears despite the love I longed for I fell into a pool of tears Chorus: Water swirling round my head falling through my eyes I see the woman on the bed calling deep inside calling out what might have been all those moments never seen all the grief flowed down the years to a pool of tears All those people didn't see nothing else to do empty space around me no one ever knew the ground beneath my feet fell through then music echoed thoughts of you the chance you took to steal my pride the pain, the joy the love that died this my dream for all those years turned into my deepest fears despited the love I longed for I fell into a pool of tears Repeat chorus two times LOVE LIES, LOVE DIES I thought love so gentle, so pure I knew love so sweet and so secure turning with an open heart with a touch we would never be apart So much love just gone slipped away so much pain to see that love betrays I will never love again for love lies and it will die in the end If I knew then what I know now if I had known it all somehow always believing love is deceiving I could have held my shattered dreams seen all the things I should have seen now I know love lies now I know love is bound to die Flames of love now ash just drifts away here I am I'm lost and love's astray I can never love again for live lied and then it died in the end Chorus: I thought I saw love in his eyes but now I know that love just lies leaving me hollow nothing follow so I will never give my heart and I will be a woman apart now I know love lies now I know love is bound to die And love was nothing but a need devoured by an empty greed the ashes fill my empty heart I will always stand apart this from love's beguiling mask a kiss, the questions never asked and now I know that love just lies I know love is bound to die Chorus CAN'T TURN THE NIGHT OFF Why must I wait for the morning sun to rise that maybe then I can rest my eyes so I won't think of you and our used-to-be's cause I can't turn the night no I can't turn the night oh, I can't turn the night off I watch the ceiling dance thru my midnight eyes a screen on which I fantasize all of our yesterdays and our used-to-be's oh, I can't turn the night no I can't turn the night oh, I can't turn the night off If only you and I were together now we'd make it somehow we were so young before; we didn't realize you can't take back the goodbyes And so I wait for the morning sun to rise that maybe then I can close my eyes so I won't look at you and our used-to-be's and I can't turn the night no, I can't turn the night oh, I can't turn the night off IN ANOTHER LIFE If my loving you could change the river's flow I would not let you drift away from me I'd never let go I want to be by your side but the water's too deep and wide Chorus: In another life In another place I have held you close I have known your grace in another world in another time you'll be mine you'll be mine If I touched you now I'd only lose my mind in a cruel world we live in one life at a time I don't know where or when but we'll pass this way again Repeat chorus two times RAINDROPS AND LEAVES Sung to sleep by a distant lullaby filtered through raindrops and leaves. Suddenly he's aware, this is no dream is this real what's happening for some nights now I thought he lived in my dreams but I hear him somewhere outside Chorus: Tempted and bewildered standing spellbound all the crazy questions circling around from my secret place somewhere in these magic trees I can see his spirit clearly In the midst of a thrash of rainy boughs still the song rides on the wind such a luminous sound. He tried to trace but it seems to come from all directions hidden miracles dancing just beyond our grasp will they ever be revealed Tempted and bewildered standing spellbound all the crazy questions circling around Chorus A WHISPER FROM MARSEILLES (FOR JULIEN) A touch upon my forehead a kiss so soft and warm a smile that faded in the night that never meant me harm he lives inside a special place that's deep inside of me sheltered by my feelings that no one else will see Chorus: A whisper from Marseilles a whisper from a friend that drifts along an empty shore his love he tries to send Imagining an ocean riding on the waves things we used to talk about the things we used to crave no footsteps left behind him or voice that can be heard no questions left to ask now love was the final word Chorus All things living, moving, breathing all we want to see all things living, moving breathing all we'll ever be Chorus I LIGHT THIS CANDLE I light this candle with a wish that I may travel on to a higher place I light this candle at the time of passing through a stage let go and I move on into the golden age Chorus: All my love will melt the stone held in a friendly hand across the mountains to the sea the wind will kiss the sand I light this candle for my love who hardly says a word he looks with telling eyes on the wings of snow white birds I light this candle with a thought of how my life has grown friends who gave hope and love when I was far from home Chorus SEE THIS THROUGH YOUR EYES Far off in the future through a crystal ball there is someone waiting someone you have dreamed of further in the future he will take your hand sit down right beside you promising a lifetime see this through your eyes Chorus: Life so far hasn't been good but now you see a face that shatters pieces of the past and brings a new found peace Take his ring of fortune use it while you can binding you forever try to understand him put the past behind your let the man come in don't deny your feelings he is in your lifeline see this through your eyes Chorus Laying down beside you on a shooting star burning deep inside you like a flame eternal he has taken over now he's in your soul never dying laughter all you ever dreamed of see this through your eyes Chorus WHAT HE SEEKS Praying for a miracle daylight had begun he saw a woman dancing dancing in the sun Her silhouetted body a jewel in the sky became his only reason his reason to survive Chorus: The colours of the casbah the laughter in the streets is this where her flame lives and what he seeks even though he feels it he knows he's never seen the flame that's eternal and never dies - never dies He'd never known this feeling a perfect work of art passion and the loving of a newly opened heart She became the miracle as the night drew near whispering a love song that only angels hear Repeat chorus two times THE SWEETEST KISS We will be a melody so free a fragrance on the cooling breeze you to me such gentle poetry and who would not love days like these Hold for us the crystal and the stream the velvet night our claim for this we will see with every waking dream love smiles and brings the sweetest kiss And it's true reflections casting shadow to the light so still, it seems that we are etched in smoke tonight we will remember this the sweetest kiss Should our dreams drift by as time unfolds between the sea and sky above we will stay together we will hold the peace and purity of love I see life and light it shines from you a fragrance on the cooling breeze we will see infinity come through and who would not love days like these And it's true, the music's flowing echoes in the light quietly now we are sketched in the mist tonight we will remember this, we will remember this the sweetest kiss We will be a melody so free a fragrance on the cooling breeze you to me such gentle poetry and who would not love days like these THE CHILDREN (OF MEDELLIN) Hearing the wind blowing over the hill over the mountains so tall and so still down through the forests they're walkng alone walking alone out on the corners and out in the streets this is their home now there's nothing to eat these are the children longing to play maybe today will be the day Chorus: Children being brave a symbol of the age touching people far away children kneel and pray children long to play some will find a way to escape this living hell now only time will tell Down from the village and into the town leaving their brothers and sisters behind innocent voices that cry in the night cry in the night what did they do to deserve all this pain most of them won't see their mothers again taken from childhood they'll never return crying inside a silent pain Chorus So small so weak they rarely speak the days go by they wonder why will someone help take them away their hearts just break on each new day Up in the morning they never do sleep looking so helpless with nothing to keep people walk past them not facing the truth facing the truth dirt on their faces and dust in their eyes life passes them - not even a smile holding their hands out is all that they know holding each other in the cold Chorus A NEW LIFE All those years you spent alone all that wasted time wondering if this would change always the same in your heart you're crying Then one day someone appears you don't even know you don't have to say a word when you realise that love's arrived and this time here to stay Chorus: Love comes to you you've waited such a long time now you're complete and you're love Yesterday was very hard nowhere else to turn now the timing's right you know when you turn around and there's not a sound but a silent look of love Chorus Many days you've wanted to enter a new life now your troubles disappear and the struggle dies Sometimes when you think out loud miracles come true there's the proof in every day you hear him say a new life Chorus AFTER THE OCEANS ARE GONE We spend our nights in shared dreams wrapped in a jade green mist our hearts running wild, as the spirit is free nothing compares to this can you picture this a beauty unexplained all the stories every told revealing Chorus I: After the ocean is gone where do we go what do we do can we carry on in a world without love can I carry on in a world without you Oooh A message came to us all across a moonlit sky a love flowing endlessly soft as a virgin sigh can you picture this, a beauty unexplained all the stories ever told revealing Chorus I Chorus II: After the oceans are gone what will we do where will we be will we carry on in a world without blue will you carry on in a world without me Oooh, Oooh Bring your out-thereness in here in here, in here. Don't be afraid to be yourself love and light will wash away your tears in here We are all stars in the night fish in the mountain stream no reason to cry nothing is as it seems can you picture this, a beauty unexplained all the stories ever told revealing Chorus I Repeat chrous II two times
