Strange how my heart beats
To find myself upon your shore.
Strange how I still feel
My loss of comfort gone before.
Cool waves wash over
and drift away with dreams of youth
so time is stolen
I cannot hold you long enough.
And so this is where I should be now
Days and nights falling by
Days and nights falling by me.
I know of a dream I should be holding
days and nights falling by
Days and nights falling by me.
Cool waves wash over
and drift away with reams of youth
so time is stolen
I cannot hold you long enough.
Soft blue horizons
reach far into my childhood days
as you are rising
to bring me my forgotten ways
Strange how I falter
to find I'm standing in deep water
Strange how my heart beats
to find I'm standing on your shore
Cold as the northern winds
in December mornings,
Cold is the cry that rings
from this far distant shore.
Winter has come too late
too close beside me.
How can I chase away
all these fears deep inside?
I'll wait the signs to come.
I'll find a way
I will wait the time to come.
I'll find a way home.
My light shall be the moon
and my path - the ocean.
My guide the morning star
as I sail home to you.
I'll wait the signs to come.
I'll find a way
I will wait the time to come.
I'll find a way home.
My light shall be the moon
and my path - the ocean.
My guide the morning star
as I sail home to you.
Who then can warm my soul?
Who can quell my passion?
Out of these dreams - a boat
I will sail home to you.
let me sail, let me sail,
let the orinoco flow,
let me reach, let me beach
on the shores of Tripoli.
let me sail, let me sail,
let me crash upon your shore,
let me reach, let me beach
far beyond the Yellow Sea.
De de de de, de
de de de de, de
de de de de, de
de de de de, de
de de de de, de
Turn itup, turn it up, up, adieu. ooh.
Turn it up, up, adieu. Ah.
from Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon,
from Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of
Ebony,
from Peru to Cebu hear the power of
Babylon,
from Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea.
From the North to the South, Ebudæ into
Khartoum,
from the deep sea of Clouds to the
island of the moon,
carry me on the waves to the lands I've never been,
carry me on the waves to the lands I've never seen.
we can sail, we can sail, sail away, sail away, sail away.
we can steer, we can near
with Rob Dickins at the wheel,
we can sigh, say goodbye Ross and his dependencies
we can sail, we can sail, sail away, sail away, sail away.
When the evening falls and the daylight is fading,
from within me calls - could it be I am sleeping?
For a moment I stray, then it holds me completely.
close to home - I cannot say.
close to home feeling so far away.
As I walk there before me a shadow
from another world, where no other can
follow.
carry me to my own, to where I can cross over...
close to home - I cannot say.
close to home feeling so far away.
Forever searching; never right,
I am lost in oceans of night.
Forever hoping I can find memories.
those memories I left behind.
Even though I leave will I go on believing
that this time is real - am I lost in this feeling?
Like a child passing through, never knowing the
reason.
I am home - I know the way.
I am home - feeling oh, so far away.
When there's a shadow near, reach for the sun.
When there is love in you, go for the one.
And for the promises, there is the sky.
And for the heavens are those who can
fly.
If you really want to, you can hear me
say
Only if you want to will you find a way.
If you really want to you can seize the
day.
Only if you want to will you fly away.
Da da da da, da da da da da.
da da da da, da da da da da,
da da da da.
When there's a journey, you follow a
star.
When there's an ocean, you sail from
afar.
And for the broken heart, there is the
sky.
And for tomorrow are those who can
fly.
If you really want to, you can hear me
say
Only if you want to will you find a way.
If you really want to you can seize the
day.
Only if you want to will you fly away.
Da da da da, da da da da da.
da da da da, da da da da da,
da da da da.
Ooh go doe bay mwa.
Ooh go doe bay mwa.
If you really want to, you can hear me
say
Only if you want to will you find a way.
If you really want to you can seize the
day.
Only if you want to will you fly away.
Ah! Je voudrai voler comme un oiseau d'aile
Ah! Je voudrai voler comme un oiseau
d'aile,
d'aile...
Ooh go doe bay mwa.
Ooh go doe bay mwa.
If you really want to, you can hear me
say
Only if you want to will you find a way.
If you really want to you can seize the
day.
Only if you want to will you fly away.
If you really want to you can seize the day.
Only if you want to will you fly
away.
Éist le mo chroí,
Go brónach a choích
Tá mé caillte gan tú
's do bhean chéile.
An grá mór i do shaoil
Threoraí sí mé.
Bígí liomsa i gcónái
Lá 's oích.
Ag caoineadh ar an uaigneas mór
Na deora, go brónach
Na gcodladh ins an uaigh ghlas chiúin
Faoi shuaimhneas, go domhain
Aoibhneas a bhí
Ach d'imigh sin
Sé lean tú
Do fhear chéile.
An grá mór i do shaoil
Threoraí sé mé.
Bígí liomsa i gcónái
Lá 's oích.
Ag caoineadh ar an uaigneas mór
Na deora, go brónach
'Na gcodladh ins an uaigh ghlas chiúin
Faoi shuaimhneas, go domhain
Smaointe, ar an lá
Raibh sibh ar mo thaobh
Ag inse scéil
Ar an dóigh a bhí
Is cuimhin liom an lá
Gan gha 's gan ghruaim
Bígí liomsa i gcónaí
Lá 's oích'.
