Some years of longer days ago. The ways we knew rose and fell below. The Change. . But years ago was not the end. Of kings and things who must defend.
Could you be but earth and rain?. Fields of wind and barley grain. Sunlit sparkles on the tree. I would not say farewell to thee. . Could you be but oranges?.
Lay your burden on my shoulders. lead it. down. into burning disorder. watch me drown. breathing water. holding. on for now. I thought you came to save me.
Oldfield. I have loved you for so long. Loving one familiar face. I never thought that someone new could ever take your place. Now different feelings come to me, confusion in my mind.
Oldfield. Stronger and stronger, brighter and brighter. Burns the flame day by day. Love wil find the way to clearer skies. And everything your heart desires.
Pile of ashes on the table. empty bottles here there now and again. window's broke wind's in the corridor. but that's not all the shit's just hit the fan.
The dead of night's here. and I know I shouldn't be here but. the night is hot and. I'm drinking to the end. two saviours come to take me from this place.
Oldfield. How clear is the night!. The early flowers of the Spring are showing. How warm is the wind!. I can feel your hair in my fingers flowing. Hey! You, you are the sun in my eyes!.
Oldfield. A child of love is walkin' thro' the San Franciscan night. He's barefoot and his eyes are open wide with heavenly light. His head is covered over with leaves of darkest red.
Fine. is how I'm feeling. feeling fine I am today. at least my doctor tells me so. unsettling thoughts he said. are natural so take. these pill they'll make you better.
Oldfield. On every boulevard I seek you. In every street cafe I meet you. When you say you're just passing this way. I know why you do. Babe you're warm as the sun.
Let the sun burn the earth. let the sun boil seas and see them swallow the shores. driving man into windowless reguge. from thunder. from flooding tides.
Oldfield. Last night I couldn't stand the crowd. I went walking down by the sea. The full moon shone on the silver sand. and I felt you were following me.
Tearing through the sky. leaving trails of searing white. choking on memories. (and they drive our man to fight). bitter in judgement. bitter tonight.
Oldfield. A summer dawn is coming. There's a rare lightning on the sea. And on the fishing fleet and the men coming home. I wanna run down there, wanna meet them.
Oldfield. If you're ever gonna break my heart again. If you're ever gonna make me cry. If you're ever gonna run and leave me. Don't tell me why. Just leave early in the morning, leave me at the break of day.
Oldfield. Driving in the wind an rain as evening comes. Longing to see him again I've been away too long. But in the moonlight I can feel my heart is beating like a drum.
Oldfield. Sunlight falling bright over the village garden walls. Moonlight showers gold where living water falls. People walk in splendour under trees hung in starlight.
Oldfield. His eyes follow her as she moves across the room. Marlene, my love, you were born too soon. Running his fingers through her hair. Across her face to her lips so fine.
Oldfield. Man of storm! And child of cloud and sun!. Whose eyes that dare the dazzling light. Of the dying, dancing leaves. Confess with mine that love has bravely won!.
