Islands from the first time we saw
we could wait for this moment, like rocks on the shore
we can never be closer somehow
for the moments that lasts, is this moment now
When the nights's on fire will you keep the Candlelight Burning
Hold on to your hearts desire
When you see one bird into the wind another one's turning
And the two can fly much higher
We are Islands but never too far, we are Islands
And I need your light tonight, and I need your light tonight,
We are Islands but never too far, we are Islands
And I need your light tonight, and I need your light tonight
Islands never been to before and we climb so high
to where the wild birds soar, there's a new path that
we found just today I was lost in the forest and you
showed me the way
Chorus
Flying Start
Vocals: Kevin Ayers
We Took A Place In The Sun
To See Just What Had Become
The Warm Wind Blows Constantly
Does The Answer Still Blow? Did You Find Your Chateau
In That Mediterranean Fantasy?
(Chorus)
Flying Start Made The Whole World Sing
They Had No Choice
Flying Start Like A Shining Pearl, They
Sang In One Voice
To Where The Sun Always Shines
Familiar Faces And Wines
The Warm Wind Blows Constantly
Knock On The Door But The Memory's Poor
Is There Somebody In? Now Answer Me!
Two Dark Eyes From The Doorway Shine
So You Lost Your Dream In A Bottle Of Wine
I Knew You Had To Do It Your Way, Fine
But There's No-One To Carry The Cross This Time
(Repeat Chorus)
On Dusty Roads And Tracks
Now It's The Time To Turn Back
The Warm Wind Blows Constantly
Riding That Storm Since The Day You Were Born
Is There Somebody In? Now Answer Me!
Two Dark Eyes From The Doorway Shine
So You Lost Your Dream In A Bottle Of Wine
I Knew You Had To Do It Your Way, Fine
But There's No-One To Carry The Cross This Time
(Repeat Chorus)
North Point
Vocals: Anita Hegerland
Have You Ever Been To North Point
To Spend Your Time And Pray?
The Prison Walls Are Dark And Cold And Grey
The Writing On The Wall At North Point
Speaks To A Silent Room
They Shut The Bars Down, Leave You To The Gloom
(Chorus)
How Could We Get Any Closer? So High Is The Wire
And The Guards Won't Listen
They Won't Believe Me
And Then It All Came Back
Somewhere Far Above Has A New Day Risen
Way Beyond The Searchlight, Comes Alive
Then On A Bright Day At North Point
The Gate Was Open Wide
They Chanced To Look At What Was Inside
There Were A Million Stars At North Point
And From The Silent Tomb
They Took It To The Heart
And Left For The Moon
(Repeat Chorus)
Have You Ever Been To North Point
To Spend Your Time And Pray?
The Prison Walls Are Dark And Cold And Grey
Magic Touch
Vocals: Max Bacon (Album Europa: Jim Price)
Once In A Lifetime, You Find That Power
To Break Out And Run From The Devil's Deep Clutch
All That You Need, It's The Finest Hour
Is To Believe In The Magic Touch
(Chorus)
A Thief In The Night, Love Steals You Far Away
A Thief In The Night, Love Takes Your Breath Away
Can't Believe It, Like No Other
Love Is A Gift And To Take You So Much
You Need The Blue Night To Discover
Only True Lovers Have The Magic Touch
Once In A Lifetime, You Find That Faith
When You're Under The Spell And It Takes Control
Everything 'Round You Just Falls In Place
And All That You Touch Seems To Turn To Gold
(Repeat Chorus)

How Could We Get Any Closer? So High Is The Wire

The time has come
Vocals: Anita Hegerland
A Thousand Years, They Waited For
Someone Who Would Be True
And Now The Empty Years Have Passed
The Sunlight Shines Anew
Someone Who Knows No Fear
I Feel Him Near
The Child Was Born To Be A King, a King
And The Time Has Come
He Tamed The Wild Wind When He Passed
The Birds And Beasts He Knew
Until He Came To Rest, At Last
The Tall Gates He Passed Through
And Now The Story's Just Begun
A Thousand Years To Stay
We Wake Each Morning With The Sun
To Live Our Dreams Away
And Now The Story's Just Begun
A Thousand Years To Stay
We Wake Each Morning With The Sun
To Live Our Dreams Away
When the nights on fire
Vocals: Anita Hegerland
I Was Hoping, Could You Be My Inspiration?
Whatever Should Become In The Candlelight
I Was Dreaming, Was It My Imagination?
Tomorrow Never Comes In The Candlelight
When The Night's On Fire
Do You Need Love's Arms To Hold You?
It's A Flame, There Burns No Finer
When You See One Bird
There's Another Watching Over
And The Two Can Fly Much Higher
I Was Listening To The Wind That Walks The Hours
I Never Would Have Heard, In The Candlelight
I Was Hoping, Would You Shelter Me From Showers?
I Believe Every Word In The Candlelight
When The Night's On Fire And You Burn
Like A Flame That's Burning In The Rain
Do You Need Somewhere To Turn?
When You See One Bird
It's The Two That Fly Higher
And A Second In Heaven's Worth A Whole Life's
Trouble And Trial
