A Song for All Seasons
OPENING OUT Fading mist you swirl and dance before my eyes To realise The feelings that have lay within my heart Life in dreams is so much kinder Just a moment's memory To fade away, in distance lies your home Broken city, take you with me Soon to be harmonised There before your eyes Only to exist Time has held tomorrow yearning while apart Now the longing has begun for you Suns will never set And shall not forget Promises we made Somewhere there's a harbour Though we pass her by Where our ship can be and safely lie In the warmth of her arms Inside a perfect day And with each passing moment We wait to sail away DAY OF THE DREAMER Falling around me lay, parts of my life I'm leaving them all behind We leave with the night Living in strange ways Has cast me aside I cry in another world now I must search for all my days gone by Chorus: Dreamer lead me ever closer Here is where I belong Inside my own existance I have been for so long Voices that call to me, lay silent to hide Soon I will hold them close With words from my eyes Living in hope of you Loving you now You are my waking thoughts I lay with you in my sleeping hours Chorus I stand and gaze upon your smile A deep reflection Held in my soul as a child To grow within the warmth of love Long forgotten Tears flood your eyes in a moment Dreamer, I become as one within you To lose you far away I stay inside your heaven now No longer lonely Once more I'm safe in your arms To feel your touch Across my mind Fills me only full of desire for my being Dreamer, really all that needs a meaning To feel us sail away Chorus CLOSER THAN YESTERDAY As morning leaves the night Opening my eyes I feel that you are close to me And yet your heart is time away But I can't hold a dream That sleeps within my yesterdays And so coming very close now I see my destiny Is to make you part of me And to hope that you might be Pure and free Chorus: Leave memories on the wind To spend moments in endless flight Held over by all you mean I feel you nearer the darkest night Closer now, than yesterday Hoping for a chance To find you loving me In the distance searching there I'll be In time you may come to me To fall into the world That once we left so far behind To learn with each passing moment As tomorrow comes for me In the shadow of my life For eternity to find The light I see Chorus KINDNESS (AT THE END) Watching the mist rolling over the sea Watching the tide as it rolls into me The ebb and flow just like my life Contiual ups and downs It's all part of the cycle And the cycle must be round Where's the affection in words when we say I'm leaving tomorrow, I'm going away Do the tears in your eyes Make the future look blind As you wait in your room Spinning thoughts you may lose When I think of all the times we've had The times we've sat and thought They were moments deep inside me For all of my days - every way - every way Leaving your heart is the hard thing to do Being so close has clouded my view Holding you near is a thing of the past But my memories exist and I hope they will last When I think of all times I'm sad The feel of all we've lost They were moments I remember For all of my days - every way For all of my days - every way BACK HOME ONCE AGAIN (Theme From The T.V. Series "The Paper Lads") Come along with me The day can breathe once more To hear the sound of closing doors The night has opened up its eyes to see day A thousand moving just as one A feeling that's so certain That when this day is done The paper lads will - Come with the dawn, casting light on the play Acting it out in our own special way Making our entrance and reading the lines The story of people who live by the Tyne Back home once again The streets that seemed so long They're waking now The job is done See people run to catch the wheels of their lives The cities reading every line But while it sleeps you're working In a world that's just your own For paper lads alone - In the dawn going round every day Seeing your home town in different ways Carry the news, solving problems you find Though young who knows what goes on in your mind SHE IS LOVE There bound to lazy days Here they would dream Cast all their doubts away Leaves upon a stream So they would make a place Love flowing free Held in a summer smile Strangers wild and sweet Chorus: Though she's flown, wild and free Still behind his eyes she stays There beneath his mind she lays She is love Smiles just a winter smile Tries to hang on Why even she can't say What it is that's gone Chorus Still behind his eyes she stays There beneath his mind she lays She is love NORTHERN LIGHTS Destination outward bound I turn to see the northern lights behind the wing Horizons seem to beckon me Learned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing The northern lights are in my mind They guide me back to you Horizons seem to beckon me Learned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing You know it's hard away from you Travelling roads and passing through It's not for money and it's not for fame I just can't explain, sometimes it's lonely Marking the space between the days Early hours pass away I sing to you of northern lights I sing for you of northern nights Past or future, here or there Shelter comes in words from you, so talk to me I hear your voice, it comforts me In morning dreams I take your hand, you walk with me The northern lights are in my mind They guide me back to you Peace enfolds the still night air Home again I look for you and find you there Desintation homeward now Take the easy way, bring me down Making the hard way now I see Hard to be really free, I'm missing you near me Marking the space between the days Early hours pass away I sing to you of northern lights I sing for you of northern nights Chorus: The northern lights are in my mind They guide me back to you The northern nights are in my eyes They guide me back to you Repeat chorus twice The northern lights are in my mind They guide me back to you A SONG FOR ALL SEASONS From the start through all time Here upon the wind Disorder reigned hand in hand with Spring Earth and the fire Air and the water Moulded the sea and landscape Moving, flowing with no seeming purpose Endlessly changing Survival Spring into Summer Time for reflection Time to grow World full of meaing Place rearranging Face ever changing For all our lives These are our roots and it's our way We grow, we reap and sow We reap and sow the seasons of our day Within the heart of all things born that day The Autumn scene brings the Winters way Colours are shading Misting and fading Turning toward Changes, living Each time the past and the future Holding together Tomorrow Winter to Springtime, a season for planning Time to learn World full of stillness World ever waiting Anticipating For all of our lives These are our roots, and it's our way We grow, we reap, and sow We reap and sow the seasons of our day We fall, while aiming so high We crawl, flying Man has North, South, East and West Man has, trying A song for all seasons through Man has North, South, East and West Man has music Man has North, South, East and West Man makes music A song for all seasons through Song for all seasons A song for all our time We'll have a song for all the seasons through
