He was the wizard of a thousand kings
And I chanced to meet him one night wandering
He told me tales and he drank my wine
Me and my magic man kind of feeling fine
He had a cloak of gold
And eyes of fire
And as he spoke I felt a deep desire
To free the world of its fear and pain
And help the people to feel free again
Why don't we listen to the voices in our hearts
'Cause then I know we'd find we're not so far apart
Everybody's got to be happy
Everyone should sing
For we know the joy of life
The peace that love can bring
So spoke the wizard in his mountain home
The vision of his wisdom means we'll never be alone
And I will dream of my magic night
And the million silver stars that guide me with their light
Every day I have to look to the sun
To see where it was that I have come from
I have a feelin that there must be a time
When I'll get a chance to go home
'Cause I'm so tired of being here alone
But I'm just a traveller in time
Trying so hard to pay for my crime
If I could go back the same way I got here
And see the people that I once held so near
I'd do my best to find an answer for you
But first I must wait 'til I'm set free
And I don't know how long that's gonna be
'Cause I'm a man with a whole lot on his mind
Just out there somewhere travelling in time
Travelling in Time
I've tried for so long to find some way
Of helping mankind
Yeah!
This is a thing I've never known before
It's called easy livin'
This is a place I've never seen before
And I've been forgiven
Easy livin' and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart
Somewhere along the lonely road I had tried to find ya
Day after day on the windy road I had walked behind ya
Easy livin and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart
Waiting, watching
Wishing my whole life away
Dreaming, thinking
Ready for my happy day
And some easy livin'!
Somewhere along the lonely road I had tried to find you
Day after day on the windy road I had walked behind you
Easy livin' and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart
Easy livin' and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart
Aaah! Aaah! Ah!
Cold winds and cloudy skies
Turned to sweetness in her eyes
Fantasies I realised
Came to life to my surprise
Rain came and took her away
Just when I thought she was here to stay
Sun gone I was left high and dry
Love came by and touched me
And kissed me so long
Shine hard October moon
Eagle take me to her soon
Run swiftly silver stream
Find my love or let me dream
Now half of me is all of her
I'd be much happier if I were whole
All my words and wisdom fall
The poet's justice leads me to my goal
Leads me to my goal
Cold winds and cloudy skies
Turned to sweetness in her eyes
Fantasies I realised
Came to life to my surprise
Aaah! Aaah!
Circle of hands
Cold spirits plan
Searching my land for an enemy
Came across love's sweet cost
And in the face of beauty
Evil was lost
Sky full of eyes, minds full of lies
Black from their cold hearts, down to their graves
Murdered the dawn, spreading their scorn
Cursing the sun of which love was born
We must keep them away
Or pretty soon we'll pay
And count the cost in sorrow
Sacrifice, the future has its price
And today is only yesterday's tomorrow
We must keep them away
Or pretty soon we'll pay
And count the cost in sorrow
Sacrifice, the future has its price
And today is only yesterday's tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow
There rides the Rainbow Demon
On his horse of crimson fire
Black shadows are following closely
On the heels of his desire
Riding on in the mist of morning
No one dared to stand in his way
Possessed by some distant calling
Riding on through night and day
Rainbow Demon - pick up your heart and run
Rainbow Demon - lives for his sword and his gun
Riding on in the mist of morning
No one dared to stand in his way
Possessed by some distant calling
Riding on through night and day
Rainbow Demon - pick up your heart and run
Rainbow Demon - lives for his sword and his gun
Rainbow Demon - pick up your heart and run
Rainbow Demon - lives for his sword and his gun
(repeat chorus to fade)
I had a little look for a minute today
And I told there was something
That I wanted to say
Just sitting here glowing with her red light on
So I've gotta move fast
And it shouldn't take long
Maybe she will, maybe she won't
We can get it so together
If she doesn't say don't
I've never ever thought I was looking for a wife
But I think I could love her
For the rest of my life yeah
I only took one 'cause I couldn't take two
I wanna make love
And it's gotta be you
Every little thing that I ever tried to say
Is coming out right
In my own kinda way
Take it, make it, it really feels fine
She must be Lady Luck
If she's gonna be mine
I never ever thought I was looking for a wife
But I think I could love her
For the rest of my life
I will love you all my life
(repeat last line to fade)
I feel you trying
Though in my heart I know you're lying
And though your love for me is dying
I see you crying
It's the pain of your secret heart
Bringing you to tears
Filling you with fears
For your mind and for your soul
I touch you softly now
Borne on by hope until the end some how
I am a man and I must keep my vow
I must go on
But the wall of your secret heart
Keeps my distance clear
Helps my footsteps fall
Back in line inside my mind
What's the use you turned me loose
And left me here to cry
Where's the love we talked about
Where's my sunny sky
Secret hearts and sorry tales
Will never help love grow
Spread your wings my daunted soul
The time has come to go
I will not be hurried down
Or blackened by your lies
I must go and find my dream
And live in paradise
What's the use you turned me loose
And left me here to cry
Where's the love we talked about
Where's my sunny sky
Secret hearts and sorry tales
Will never help love grow
Spread your wings my daunted soul
The time has come to go
I will not be hurried down
Or blackened by your lies
I must go and find my dream
And live in paradise
What's the use you turned me loose
And left me here to cry
Where's the love we talked about
Where's my sunny sky
Whatcha think I am
Do you think I'm dreaming
Don't you know I know
What it is you're scheming
Who'd you think gave you the right
Hidden by the dead of night
To take the world and turn it upside down
When it should be round
Seems I made it just in time
To use my reason and my rhyme
To save us from the evils of your mind
I will cast the spell
Be sure I'll cast it well
I will light a fire
Kindled with desire
I'll fill you with fear
So you know I'm here
And I won't be treated like a fool
It's no good you pretending
There'll be no happy ending
I'm alive and darkness is my tool
But when the night is over
And daytime steals your cover
The goodness of the morning sun
Will warm away what you have done
And leave you cold
I have no need for moonlight
You're wrong to trust in sunlight
For I exist not just in storms
But in life itself in so many forms
To leave you cold
I will leave you now
But you won't defeat me
You had best beware
When you come to meet me
Love and truth will follow me
An army of reality
Brought from every corner of the world
You will never break the spell
I'll summon all the fires of hell
And this is my advice for what it's worth
Let us not begin
This fight we cannot win
Be sure you're watching me
Cause all through your life
Everyday and everynight
You should know that I'll be watching you
Thought of no tomorrow
The pain, tears and sorrow
And you never told me why
The way you cheated and mistreated
I could never ask you why
Well I'm gonna find out, I'm gonna find out
What's been messing up your mind
Messing up your mind
Well I've been through some changes
Now I'm leaving
Why my mind rearranges, Why I'm grieving
I don't mean that you hurt me or deceive me
For I know that you're there and you need me, you sure do
But I hope you can't see how it is
I can't stand it, oh love
I got to go
Is there any true reason or anything I could explain
Can't we talk about it baby
And that you give again
You see I have a feeling that this isn't the end
And I feel no end, oh on you I depend
I depend on you
I'm gonna find out yes I am
I'm gonna find out
What is that's been messing up your mind
Messing up your mind ooh
Well I said that I love you and I need you
That it means I am yours
Yes I belong to you
Well I just can't be certain that you love me too
But I got to know if I can believe in you
Please believe my heart is yours
I can't stand it, oh love
I got to go
Perhaps it's best for us to stay together
And try to live our lives as one
And maybe we will find out we're still together
To watch the setting of the sun
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't throw it all away
Hear what I've gotta say
Because you're always on my mind
I've got an eye on you
And only you will do
And I don't wanna waste my time
So won't you hear me out
Because It's all about when
I come home again to you
You're such a little child
You're gonna drive me wild
As I just don't know what to say
I got an eye on you
And only you will do
And I don't wanna get in your play
Hesitate, because I cannot wait
Till I come home again to you
You make me feel so old
Just like I have been told
Because it's always up to you
Oh baby, hear me out
I've done all my time
I don't wanna be misused
So please don't hesitate
Because I cannot wait
Till I come home again to you
Home to you
