Selected Lyrics
Tender is the Night The day comes down in dust The rusty rays of the sun You're like a feather in the evening rush You're lonely, but you're not the only one Sanctuary elusive Desires becoming hard to please You search out corners where the lonely sleep You close your eyes -- something touches your sleeve It's coming now -- tender is the night The moon winks and throws you down a star The day dissolves and now you feel alright Tender is the night You want him now -- you want his kiss upon your face Here in this dark place called night He is a flame : a light to quide you on your way He comes out of day into night Ravenswing Remember me to Ravenswing Where the windows face the sea Where the pillows smell of lavender All those nights come back to me Say hello to the Yellow Duke He taught me this waltz On the dance-floor of the clifftop He was a partner to us all Remember me to Ravenswing Where the boys all hang out Give them this token of my love Let them try to work it out Say hello to Julian With his fire-cracker smile He is still the finest tree Along this barren, stony mile Take me back, take me back Ah, take me back, take me back Take me back Remember me to Ravenswing On that island small and white We left something of our lives behind On that frantic August night Susan wore her famous dress And smoked her favourite fire We made love without a sound With need but no desire How many times have I looked for that place Remembered its essence but forgotten its face High on that hill overlooking the sea In the room at the top of the stairs I see Susan and me Remember me to Ravenswing Remember me to the boys Tell them our lives are like love-letters That will never be destroyed Cut them a branch of thorns and a rose Take them this song they can sing Carry them to those young men Home at Ravenswing * Backing vocals : Faye Daltrey Going Back to Bohemia The war is ten years over now I'm walking down those black and white streets My hair is on my shoulder now I mystify everyone I meet I'm going back to Bohemia I'm going back with my sunglasses on I'm going back to Bohemia Let's hope Bohemia hasn't gone My brother, he lived through changes Read Kerouac and over-stepped the line The girls he loved were beautiful MJQ played the soundtrack of vibes We're living through jazz We're living through poetry Don't want to be like our dads Don't talk of sex talk of ecstasy Hey, hey, Kruschev with a square head John Kennedy in Marilyn's bed No career in Korea Don't forget what Lenny Bruce said: " When you're dead, boy, you're a long time dead " I'm going back to Bohemia I'm going back with my sunglasses on I'm going back to Bohemia Let's hope Bohemia hasn't gone
