I saw a light
And it shone
Yeah it shone
All around your head
My friend there's no time
For all our plans
Now you're gone
There's no way back from here
Sometimes I just want to change
But the people keep saying
You can't give up your own ways
Can you tell me how
I could be so blind to
Ever let you go
When I wanted you around?
You know I was just waiting for you to come over
I thought that you knew it
I never told you that I
I've been looking out for you
I've been thinking about you
I could, I could, I could, I could, I could, I could, I could not tell you
I've watched your face for a long time
It's always the same
I've studied the cracks and the wrinkles
You were always so vain
Now you live your life like a shadow
In the pouring rain
Oh, it's called love
Yes, it's called love
Oh, it's called love
And it belongs to us
Oh, it dies so quickly
It grows so slowly
But when it dies, it dies for good
It's called love
And it belongs to everyone but us
I've lived my life in the valleys
I've lived my life on the hills
I've lived my life on alcohol
I've lived my life on pills
But it's called love
And it belongs to us
It's called love
And it's the only thing that's worth living for
It's called love
And it belongs to us
It's called love
Yes it's called love
Oh, love is found in the east and the west
But when love is at home, it's the best
Love is the cure for every evil
Love is the air that supports the eagle
It's called love
And it's so uncool
It's called love
And somehow it's become unmentionable
It's called love
And it belongs to every one of us
It's called love
And it cuts your life like a broken knife
There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more
When you were young
And on your own
How did it feel
To be alone?
I was always thinking
Of games that I was playing
Trying to make
The best of my time
But only love
Can break your heart
Try to be sure
Right from the start
Yes only love
Can break your heart
What if your world
Should fall apart?
I have a friend
I've never seen
He hides his head
Inside a dream
Someone should call him
And see if he can come out
Try to lose
The down that he's found
I have a friend
I've never seen
He hides his head
Inside a dream
Yes, only love
Can break your heart
Yes, only love
Can break your heart
I was your light
To decide it
Why do you cry today
Just because the sky is grey?
Cause it's okay if everyday
Is not the same way
It's just another way
That everyday is not the same
How can you see the sky
When you close your eyes?
How can you run away
Just because the sky is grey?
Cause it's okay if everyday
Is not the same way
It's just another way
That everyday is not the same
Cause it's okay if everyday
Is not the same way
It's just another way
That everyday is not the same
Pale, pubescent beasts
Roam through the streets
And coffee shops
Their prey gather in herds
Of stiff knee-length skirts
And white ankle socks
But while they search for a mate
My type hibernate
In bedrooms above
Composing their songs of love
Young, uniform minds
In uniform lines
And uniform ties
Run round with trousers on fire
And signs of desire
They cannot disguise
While I try to find words
As light as the birds
That circle above
To put in my songs of love
Fate doesn't hang on a wrong or right choice
Fortune depends on the tone of your voice
So sing while you have time
Let the sun shine down from above
And fill you with songs of love
Take me
Fate doesn't hang on a wrong or right choice
Fortune depends on the tone of your voice
So let's sing while we still can
While the sun hangs high up above
Wonderful songs of love
Beautiful songs of love
Once I thought I saw you
in a crowded hazy bar,
Dancing on the light
from star to star.
Far across the moonbeam
I know that's who you are,
I saw your brown eyes
turning once to fire.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.
I am just a dreamer,
but you are just a dream,
You could have been
anyone to me.
Before that moment
you touched my lips
That perfect feeling
when time just slips
Away between us
on our foggy trip.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.
You are just a dreamer,
and I am just a dream.
You could have been
anyone to me.
Before that moment
you touched my lips
That perfect feeling
when time just slips
Away between us
on our foggy trip.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.
I've got a photo from a long time ago
Hold it in your pocket
Hold it in your pocket
I've got a ring that my grandmother gave to me
Wear it on your finger
Wear it on your finger
I've got a letter that's full of our secrets
The last one you sent to me
The last one you sent to me
What shall I do with a life turned to memory?
I tried to forget you
I tried to forget you
Where shall I go when I wake from a dream of you?
I tried to forget you
I tried to forget you
I still see you
I still see you
I still see you
I turn in my sleep and I see you beside me
It's your imagination
It's your imagination
I go to the places we went to together
Find another country
Find another country
I turn in my sleep and I see you beside me
It's your imagination
It's your imagination
I want to go on but it's another day without you
I tried to forget you
I tried to forget you
I still see you
I still see you
I still see you
Heaven, a gateway, a hope
Just like a feeling inside, it's no joke
And though it hurts me to see you this way
Betrayed by words, I'd never heard, too hard to say
Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home
Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home
Each way I turn, I know I'll always try
To break this circle that's been placed around me
From time to time, I find I've lost some need
That was urgent to myself, I do believe
Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home
Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home
Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got grey eyes
Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got grey eyes
And I've never seen anyone quite like you before
No, I've never met anyone quite like you before
Bolts from above hurt the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Bolts from above hurt the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Bolts from above hurt the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Bolts from above hurt the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Oh, it's the last time
Oh, it's the last time
Oh, it's the last time
Oh, it's the last time
Oh, it's the last time
Oh, I've never met anyone quite like you before
Oh no, I've never met anyone quite like you before
I'll find a place somewhere in the corner
I'm gonna waste the rest of my days
Just watching patiently from the window
Just waiting, seasons change, some day, oh oh
My dreams will pull you through that garden gate
I want to be the wandering sailor
We're silhouettes by the light of the moon
I sit playing solitaire by the window
Just waiting, seasons change, ah hah, you'll see
Some day these dreams will pull you through my door
And I'll come running to tie your shoe
I'll come running to tie your shoe
I'll come running to tie your shoe
I'll come running to tie your shoe
I'll come running to tie your shoe
I'll come running to tie your shoe
I'll come running to tie your shoe
I'll come running to tie your shoe
Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream she said
The one that makes me laugh she said
Threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it and I'll promise you
I'll promise that I'll run away with you, I'll run away with you
Spinning on that dizzy edge
Kissed her face and kissed her head
Dreamed of all the different ways, I had to make her glow
Why are you so far away she said
Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you?
That I'm in love with you?
You, soft and only, you lost and lonely
You, strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone, alone, alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved and drowned her deep inside of me
You soft and only
You lost and lonely
You just like heaven
What is her name
That caravan girl
What is her name?
You like the sun
A hazy day
What is her name
We're just talkin'
Like there's something
Like you know
Don't you know
Don't you know
Runaway, runaway you, you get away and
Bring on back
Runaway, runaway you, you get away and
Bring on back
The food and game
That stranger on the hill
What is her name
You like the sun
A lazy day
Have you no name
Don't stop talkin'
There's just something
Like you know
I liked to know
You should
Or should I go
It's long, long
Way to go
I want to know
Yeah
I want to show
Runaway, runaway you, you get away and
Bring on back
Runaway, runaway you, you get away and
Bring on back
Wanna runaway
(La la la la la)
Wanna runaway
(La la la la la)
And bring on back
(La la la la la)
Wanna runaway
(La la la la la)
Wanna runaway
(La la la la la)
And bring on back
(La la la la la)
Wanna runaway
(La la la la la)
Wanna runaway
(La la la la la)
And bring on back
Wanna runaway
(La la la la la)
Wanna runaway
(La la la la la)
And bring on back
You'll find me in a Berlin bar
In a corner brooding
You know that I go very quiet
When I'm listening to you
There's something very special indeed
In all the places where I've seen you shine, boy
There's something very real in how I feel, honey
It's in me
It's in me
And you know it's for real
Tuning in on your saxophone
Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo...
The candle burning over your shoulder is throwing
Shadows on your saxophone, a surly lady in tremor
The stars that climb from her bowels
Those stars make towers on vowels
You'll never see that you had all of me
You'll never see the poetry you've stirred in me
Of all the stars I've seen that shine so brightly
I've never known or felt in myself so rightly
It's in me
It's in me
And you know it's for real
Tuning in on your saxophone
Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo...
The Lord knows best
When it comes to you
And you know well that I
Don't give a damn about anything
But you
Oh, yes, you do!
I've traveled through the streets
And I've walked through the valleys
The Lord knows best that I
Don't give a damn about anyone but you
Oh, yes, He does!
The Lord knows best
When it comes to you
Oh, yes, He does!
When it comes to you
Oh, yes, He does!
When it comes to you
Oh, yes, He does!
When it comes to you
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
There's nothing you can do that can't be done
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
Nothing you can say, but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy
There's nothing you can make that can't be made
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothing you can do, but you can learn how to be you in time
It's easy
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
There's nothing you can know that isn't known
Nothing you can see that isn't shown
There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be. It's easy
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
All you need is love (All together now)
All you need is love (Everybody)
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
(Yesterday)
(Oh yeah)
(She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Oh, yesterday)
Fill your heart with love today
Don't play the game of time
Things that happened in the past
Only happened in your mind
Only in your mind
Forget your mind
And you'll be free, yeah
The writing's on the wall
Free, yeah
And you can know it all
If you choose
Just remember, lovers never lose
Because they are
Free of thoughts unpure
And of thoughts unkind
Gentleness clears the soul
Love cleans the mind
And makes it free
Happiness is happening
The dragons have been bled
Gentleness is everywhere
Fear's just in your head
Only in your head
Fear is in your head
Only in your head
So forget your head
And you'll be free
The writing's on the wall
Free, yeah
And you can know it all
If you choose
Just remember, lovers never lose
Because they are
Free of thoughts unpure
And of thoughts unkind
Gentleness clears the soul
Love will clean your mind
And makes you free!
Free-yeah Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
