I wanna feel…
Can you give me?
Feel me?
Falling like rain are the tears of an angel.

Can you feel me?
Feel me?
Falling like rain are the tears of an angel.

I wanna feel…
Can you feel me?
Feel me?
Falling like rain are the tears of an angel.
Can you touch me?
Touch me?
Falling like rain are the tears of an angel.

I wanna feel…

I want more, I want more
I want more, I want more

Can you feel me?

Surfing (Lyrics)

Have you seen the space in my eyes? Be warned. Believe it.
Have you seen the fades in my skies? We can’t conceive it.

Surfing, like surfing. I’m looked and I’m searching. I’ve fallen out right into the net!
Morning and evening, I’m flying and dreaming; oh, can’t keep it out of my head!

Surfing, like surfing. I’m looked and I’m searching. I’ve fallen out right into the net!
Morning and evening, I’m flying and dreaming; oh, can’t keep it out of my head!

Have you seen the phantom in my dream? Be warned. Believe it.
Have you seen the spaces in between? We can’t conceive it.

Surfing, like surfing. I’m looked and I’m searching. I’ve fallen out right into the net!
Morning and evening, I’m flying and dreaming; oh, can’t keep it out of my head!

Surfing, like surfing. I’m looked and I’m searching. I’ve fallen out right into the net!
Morning and evening, I’m flying and dreaming; oh, can’t keep it out of my head!

Surfing, like surfing. I’m looked and I’m searching. I’ve fallen out right into the net!
Morning and evening, I’m flying and dreaming; oh, can’t keep it out of my head!

Morning and evening, I’m flying and dreaming; oh, can’t keep it out of my head!

Surfing, like surfing.
Surfing, like surfing.
Surfing, like surfing.

Surfing, like surfing. I’m looked and I’m searching. I’ve fallen out right into the net!

Sunlight Shining Through (Lyrics)

Amazing Grace! (How Sweet That Sound)
Has Sav’d A Wretch Like Me!
I Once Was Lost, But Now I’m Found
Was Blind, But Now I See

And I, Want To Feel Sun On My Face
And I, (I), Feel A Shadow In Its Place

T’was Grace That Taught My Heart To Fear
And Grace My Fears Reliev’d
How Precious Did That Grace Appear
The Hour I First Believ’d!

And I, Want To Feel Sun On My Face
And I, (I) Feel A Shadow In Its Place

(Chorus)

With The Sunlight Shining Through Cloud
When We’re Standing Free, Proud
With The Sunlight Shining Through Cloud
When We’re Standing Free, Proud

Thro’ Many Dangers, Toils And Snares
I Have Already Come
‘Tis Grace Has Brought Me Safe Thus Far
And Grace Will Lead Me Home

And I, Want To Feel Sun On My Face
And I, Feel A Shadow In Its Place

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

With The Sunlight Shining Through Cloud
Sunlight Shining Through Cloud
Sunlight Shining Through Cloud
Sunlight Shining Through Cloud

Song of Hiawatha (Lyrics)

/in , /von

Vocals: Maddy Prior
Lyrics: Extract from “Hiawatha” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

By the shores of Gitche Gumee,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
At the doorway of the wigwam,
In the early Summer morning,
Hiawatha stood and waited.
All the air was full of freshness,
All the earth was bright and joyous,
And before him, through the sunshine,
Westward toward the neighboring forest
Passed in golden swarms the Ahmo,
Passed the bees, the honey-makers,
Burning, singing in the sunshine.
Bright above him shone the heavens,
Level spread the lake before him;
From its bosom leaped the sturgeon,
Sparkling, flashing in the sunshine;
On its margin the great forest
Stood reflected in the water,
Every tree-top had its shadow,
Motionless beneath the water.
From the brow of Hiawatha
Gone was every trace of sorrow,
As the fog from off the water,
As the mist from off the meadow.
With a smile of joy and gladness,
With a look of exultation,
As of one who in a vision
Sees what is to be, but is not,
Stood and waited Hiawatha.
Toward the sun his hands were lifted,
Both the palms spread out toward it,
And between the parted fingers
Fell the sunshine on his features,
Flecked with light his naked shoulders,
As it falls and flecks an oak-tree
Through the rifted leaves and branches.
O’er the water floating, flying,
Something in the hazy distance,
Something in the mists of morning,
Loomed and lifted from the water,
Now seemed floating, now seemed flying,
Coming nearer, nearer, nearer.
Was it Shingebis the diver?
Or the pelican, the Shada?
Or the heron, the Shuh-shuh-gah?
Or the white goose, Waw-be-wana,
With the water dripping, flashing,
From its glossy neck and feathers?
It was neither goose nor diver,
Neither pelican nor heron,
O’er the water floating, flying,
Through the shining mist of morning,
But a birch canoe with paddles,
Rising, sinking on the water,
Dripping, flashing in the sunshine;
And within it came a people

Isn’t it good to know
You only get one go.
Give me a key and let me see.
Try and act normally!

Seems it’s an ancient art
To be the one who starts it rolling.
Wouldn’t you like to know the way?
Hear what the wise man say.

Sally, I’m just a gorilla.
I’ll say I’ll love you ever more.
Even an ape from Manila
Couldn’t stop me knocking on your door!

One and a-one make two.
Only you must come through.
If there’s a way, then let me say:
I’d rather stay with you.

Seems it’s an ancient art
To be the one who starts it rolling.
Wouldn’t you like to know the way?
Hear what the wise man say.

[don’t come in again like that it isn’t funny
and I can pay someone else to make your mistakes]

Oh island of the soul
Valleys hushed and white with snow
Ireland’s eye – you linger with me ’til the day I die
Oh how it hurts to go

The waters ebb and flow
The changing seasons come and go
Ireland’s eye – forever reaching up into the sky
Oh how I’ll miss you so

The sunlight dancing on your rocky shores
The moonlight playing upon the water
Your memory will stay with me forever-more
Wherever I may roam

Stay with my dreams I will see you
Safe in my heart I will keep you

On Horseback (Lyrics)

/in , /von

Vocals:Mike Oldfield, The Penrhos Kids

I like beer, and I like cheese
I like the smell of a westerly breeze
But what I like more than all of these
Is to be on horseback

Hey and away we go
Through the grass, across the snow
Big brown beastie, big brown face
I’d rather be with you than flying through space.

I like thunder, and I like rain
And open fires, and roaring flames.
But if the thunder’s in my brain,
I’d like to be on horseback

Some like the city, some the noise
Some make chaos, and others, toys.
But if I was to have the choice,
I’d rather be on horseback.

Chorus
Some find it strange to be here,
On this small planet, and who knows where.
But when it’s strange and full of fear,
It’s nice to be on horseback.
Some are short, and others tall,
Some hit their heads against the wall.
But it doesn’t really matter at all,
When you happen to be on horseback.

Chorus
So if you you feel a little glum,
To Hergest Ridge you should come.
In summer, winter, rain or sun,
It’s good to be on horseback.
Chorus
Chorus
You know, I’d rather be on horseback.

Ode To Cynthia (Lyrics)

Lyrics: Ben Jonson
Vocals: Maddy Prior and Sally Oldfield

Queen and huntress chaste and fair.
Now the sun is laid to sleep,
Seated in a silver chair,
State in wanted manner keep.
Earth let not an envious shade
Dare itself to interpose.
Cynthia’s shining orb was made
Heaven to cheer when day did close.
Lay the bow of pearl apart,
And the crystal-shining quiver,
Give unto the flying heart
Space to breathe how short so ever
Hesperus entreats thy light
Goddess excellently bright.
Bless us then with wished sight
Thou who makes a day of night.

North Point (Lyrics)

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

No Dream (Lyrics)

Vocals: Michael Oldfield

An empty chair
Is someone sitting there
Footsteps on the ground
Can you hear that sound
Like a wild goose crying on a lonely wind
Whispering leaves in the branches that bend

This ain’t no dream babe
Alone in the night
Turn on the light this ain’t no dream
This is no dream
You didn’t read this is no book
Go take a look this ain’t
No Dream

A restless flame
Someone calls your name
Through the empty hall casting shadows on the wall
In the sound of emptiness
Isolation
Nowhere left to run now the time has come

Chorus
An open door
Glass all on the floor
Hands have turned to white
In the cold breeze of the night
There’s a face at the window
Someone who you know
Or who you used to be
Could that somebody be me

Dream babe alone in the night
Turn on the light this ain’t no dream
This is no dream
This is no book
Go take a look this ain’t no dream

I know you’re out there Mr. Shame
I am calling your name Mr. Shame

There is no doubt
You need to find out about the river
But there’s no covert scheme
To help you find your dream

Down to the river
Was this all some cry for love?
It’s a cry for love
Are you a victim of that Money Bug?
In your blood

Mister Shame

Get down to the river
I know you ache
So come down to the river
The River of love Don’t hesitate

There’s no mean devise or key to paradise
To the river
No price you can pay to help you find your way
To the river

Down to the river
Is this all some cry for love?
It’s a cry for love
Don’t tell me you’re a victim of that Money Bug?
In your blood

Mister Shame

Get down to the river
I know you ache
So get down to the river
The River of love
Don’t hesitate
