NIGHT FLIGHT
(Jeff Wayne & Paul Vigrass)
We were two lonely travelers
In the sky that night
Two lonely travelers, high flying
Alone in the night on an endless flight
Killing time with polite conversation
Killing time in your shy hesitating way
Killing time, killing my isolation
Two lonely travelers breaking ice
By opening up a few old back pages
We were two golden eagles in the sky today
Two golden eagles high flying
Who swept through the air
To a secret lair
Flying free slowly wheeling and gliding
Flying free on the sea and the high plateau
Flying free on the breeze without trying
Two lonely travelers breaking ice
By opening up a few old back pages
And letting secrets out of their cages
But wanting to remain perfect strangers
'Cos I was on a night flight
Floating above the world
Yes it was the moonlight
Painting the wings in pearl
High above the clouds
High above the world
Yes I was on a night flight
Lost in a different world
I can see the starlight
Silver a gypsy girl
High above the clouds
High above the world
We were two lonely travelers
In the sky that night
Two lonely travelers, high flying
Alone in the night on an endless flight
Killing time with polite conversation
Killing time in your shy hesitating way
Killing time, killing my isolation
Two lonely travelers breaking ice
By opening up a few old back pages
And letting secrets out of their cages
But wanting to remain perfect strangers
'Cos I was on a night flight
Floating above the world
Yes it was the moonlight
Painting the wings in pearl
High above the clouds
High above the world
Yes I was on a night flight
Lost in a different world
I can see the starlight
Silver a gypsy girl
High above the clouds
High above the world
Yes I was on a night flight
Floating above the world
Yes it was the moonlight
Painting the wings in pearl
High above the clouds
High above the world
Yes I was on a night flight
Floating above the world
Yes it was the moonlight
Painting the wings in pearl
High above the clouds
High above the world
Yes I was on a night flight
MAYBE IT'S JUST LOVE
(Mike Silver)
Just like you I'm searching
Always looking past horizons
Not everytime I'm finding
What I want to lay my eyes on
I'm not always knowing
What I like to know
But here I am a-sittin'
With our favourite music on the radio
Sometimes I smile at what I'm touching
Just because it's there for me to feel
You know it doesn't really matter
If it's in my dreams
Or really real
I'm not always getting what I like to get
But if I keep on moving that's enough to get me set
'Cos everybody's wearing out their tongues just talking
I think they got nothing much better to do
They say you're looking for love and all
Somebody strong and dark and tall
Or maybe it's just love that's a-lookin' for you
Just like you I'm searching
Always looking past horizons
Not everytime I'm finding
What I wish to lay my eyes on
I'm not always knowing
What I like to know
But here I am a-sittin'
With our favourite music on the radio
'Cos everybody's wearing out their tongues just talking
I think they got nothing much better to do
They say you're looking for love and all
Somebody strong and dark and tall
But maybe it's just love that's a-lookin' for you
'Cos everybody's wearing out their tongues just talking
I think they got nothing much better to do
They say you're looking for love and all
Somebody strong and dark and tall
But maybe it's just love that's a-lookin' for you
Maybe it's just love that's a-lookin' for you
Oh maybe it's just love that's a-lookin' for you
CRAZY LOVERS
(Justin Hayward)
I know that you know that we know
As plain as the stars that are shining above
And I know that you know I wait for the morning
I wake up beside you my love
And all of the things that you thought you should tell me
Are all that I needed to know
You told me our love was eternal
Eternity's such a long time left to go
Two crazy lovers we must find a way
Hold on now baby I am on my way
Book us a ticket on the midnight train
You never know darling, they might never see us again
'Cos I know that you know that we know
As plain as the stars that are shining above
And I know that you know I wait for the morning
I wake up beside you my love
It seems like the world has been waiting to show us
A secret it's kept for so long
And oh how I know that it's love that has found us
It's found us right where we belong
Two crazy lovers we must find a way
Hold on now baby I am on my way
Book us a ticket on the midnight train
You never know darling, they might never see us again
They might never see us again
They might never see us again, again, again
Two crazy lovers we must find a way
Hold on now baby I am on my way
Book us a ticket on the midnight train
You never know darling, they might never see us again
Two crazy lovers we must find a way
Hold on now baby I am on my way
It's just the beginning there can be no end
You never know darling, they might never see us again
They might never see us again
They might never see us again, again, again
PENUMBRA MOON
(Billy Nicholls)
Standing in the moonlight
I saw you standing in the moonlight
With your hair a-shining blue, I
I shivered in the midnight air
He was in the shadows
He was hiding in the shadows
Why he looked so dark and cold and lonely
Only Heaven knows
Oh Penumbra
Just like that moon
Some of it black, some of it bright
Some of it blue
Oh Penumbra
I'm just like you
Feeling so shy
Hiding behind somebody too
Oh I'm just like you
If I could have one wish
I'd take you on a starship
But I wouldn't know what to do with
All the love I have for you
There's nothing much between us
No there's nothing much between us
Even Mercury and Venus
They couldn't take me far from you
Oh Penumbra
Just like that moon
Some of it black, some of it bright
Some of it blue
Oh Penumbra
I'm just like you
Feeling so shy
Hiding behind somebody too
Oh I'm just like you
Yes I'm just like you
NEARER TO YOU
(Justin Hayward)
Nearer, nearer to you
I found that it's true that I'm feeling
Closer, closer by far
I found that we are getting closer
I'm nearer to you
Everyday I'm missing you so
Darling I know how you're feeling
I see you so clear in my mind
It's strange how I find that I'm moving
Nearer to you
It's strange but it's true
My world would turn blue
Without you
So come what may
I'll stay nearer to you
Nearer to you
Come what may
The things that you do
Everyday
I'm nearer to you
Come what may
Let me love you
Love you tonight
You'll see that I'm right when I'm saying
That love has brought us this far
You know that we are getting nearer
I'm nearer to you
It's strange but it's true
My world would turn blue
Without you
So come what may I'll stay nearer to you
Nearer to you
Come what may
The things that you do
Everyday
Nearer to you
Come what may
Nearer to you
Come what may
It's strange but it's true
All the way
A FACE IN THE CROWD
(Justin Hayward)
Life is a struggle
Baby you got to choose
Hear the call of the wild wind
What have you got to lose
So take off that coat and kick off those crazy shoes
I can see by your smile that you're ready
Well I'm ready too
Oh life is a puzzle
Baby you've got to try
But don't let it get you
Don't let it pass you by
'Cos here and now darling
Here and now you got me
And something inside me tells me it's meant to be
Will it be alright
I'm getting a message from someone
Will it turn out right
It's not just a face in the crowd
It's not just a face in the crowd
Face in the crowd
Will it be alright
I'm getting a message from someone
Will it turn out right
It's not just a face in the crowd
It's not just a face in the crowd
Face in the crowd
Life is a struggle
Baby you got to choose
Hear the call of the wild wind
What have you got to lose
So take off that coat and kick off those crazy shoes
I can see by your smile that you're ready
Well I'm ready too
So just close your eyes
I'm getting a message from someone
Through a clear blue sky
It's not just a face in the crowd
It's not just a face in the crowd
Face in the crowd
SUITCASE
(Justin Hayward)
Sometimes when I'm dreamin'
And I'm far away from home
I kind of get the feelin' that I'm never quite alone
See I just can't help but think about you baby
Time is of the essence
And the candle's burning low
Remind me to remember
That there's not so far to go
I just can't help but think about you baby
The places that I've been to
Trying to see them through her eyes
Like the picture from the childhood
That I thought I'd left behind
See I just can't help but think about you baby
The sunrise in the morning and the glory that was ours
Is captured in a moment
Making love among the stars
I just can't help but think about you baby
Thinkin', thinkin', thinkin' about my baby
I just can't help but think about my baby
She's always on my mind
I'M SORRY
(Daryl Hall & John Oates)
Why don't you write me
Call me on the phone
Send Western Union
You can find me home
I said I'm sorry
I said I'm sorry
You know I bled you
Led you on a lie (Led me on a lie)
You say I fooled you
Who's' the fool tonight
I said I'm sorry
I said I'm sorry
High love in motion
Walking on the ocean of your sorrow
Round turn the tables
Lost I am a man with no tomorrow
You know lop-sided lovin'
It got me in the end (Got me in the end)
Looks like I'm done for
Now there's no pretending that I'm sorry
I said I'm sorry
High love in motion
Walking on the ocean of your sorrow
Around turn the tables
Lost I am a man with no tomorrow
I said why don't you write me
Call me on the phone (Call me on the phone)
Send Western Union
You can find me home
I said I'm sorry
I said I'm sorry
IT'S NOT ON
(Jeff Wayne & Gary Osborne)
Beyond the tears
Behind her eyes
She feels the need
To rationalize
To catch the thought
That can't be caught
And hold it for a while
Beyond the fears
Behind her lies
She sees the truth
But still she tries
To hold on fast
To dreams that last
No longer than a smile
It's not on
Too much has come between us
Too much has gone
And in our hearts we both know
That it's just not on
The feeling's gone
And in our hearts
We both know
That it's just not on
It's funny how
As time goes by
Some feelings grow
While others die
But who are we
To disagree
With what our hearts dictate
And only fools
Who dare ignore
The empty hours
That lie in store
For those who strive
To keep alive
Too little love too late
It's not on
Too much has come between us
Too much has gone
And in our hearts we both know
That it's just not on
The feeling's gone
And in our hearts
We both know
That it's just not on
No it's just not on
BEDTIME STORIES
(Colin Still)
Lay along side me beautiful lady
Dark as the blackest hour of night
Deep in my body warm and lazy
Under the sheets and out of sight
Won't you tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories
Oh let me close my eyes and drift away
Tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories
Tell me in a very special way
Rolling and tumbling
Sweet sensation doing the things we both do best
Making the most of a situation, yeah
I can't stop this pounding in my chest
When you tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories
Oh let me close my eyes and drift away
Tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories
Tell me in a very special way
Won't you tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories
Oh let me close my eyes and drift away
Tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories
Tell me in a very special way
Watching the night lights through the window
Sounds of the city on the run
Shadows of lovers in the moon glow
I feel like my life has just begun
When you tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories
Oh let me close my eyes and drift away
Tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories
Tell me in a very special way
Won't you tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories
Oh let me close my eyes and drift away
Tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories
Tell me in a very special way
(doo, doo, doo bedtime stories) repeat
Tell me, tell me, tell me (bedtime stories)
Oh won't you tell me, tell me, tell me (bedtime stories)
Tell me, tell me, tell me (bedtime stories)
Oh won't you tell me, tell me, tell me (bedtime stories)
Tell me, tell me, tell me (bedtime stories)
