Amber light

Amber light
Of this new morning
Amber light
Clear, bright and warming
Overnight
The earth adorning
Amber light
A new age is dawning

Ekusene kuya kanya (the dawn is bright)

Blue Night

To the whole room, her eyes are numb
As she reads from a true love story.
From the pages of a book, her lover comes.
Her heart bleeds, its a true love story.

Misty shape in the window by her bed,
Dreaming on what shes read.
Hero takes her hand and leads her through.
Who knows what this night will do?

[ chorus ]

Only in the blue night, he comes to her
Only in the blue night.
Thats when the whole night belongs to her,
Only in the blue night.

I see a dark face by the moons glow
As she reads from a true love story.
Beckoning hand scratching at the window.
Her heart bleeds, its a true love story.

Misty path and the night is endless.
She could be a queen or a desert princess.
Hero takes her hand and leads her through.
Who knows what this night will do?

[ repeat chorus ]

Only in the blue night,
Only in the blue night.
Thats when the whole night belongs to her,
Only in the blue night.

She wants to break free
From the cold light of reality.
And as she drifts away,
I hear her voice say, come away.

Dark skin glistening by the silver light.
This is the hero come tonight.
And taking her hand, he leads her through.
Who knows what this night will do?

[ repeat chorus ]

[ repeat chorus ]

Blue, blue night,
Only in the blue night.
Blue, blue night,
Only in the blue night.

Blue, blue night,
Only in the blue night.
Blue, blue night.

Bridge To Paradise

This town is just a fake,
A place where you cant tell the devil from your brother.
Poisoned every breath you take,
Its just like one nightmare after the other.

You know, its not too late to leave tomorrow,
cause I know where Im going.


I am building a bridge to paradise.
I am building a bridge to paradise.

This town you cant control,
A place that fascinates, hits you with the drama.
Dont worry now for my soul
cause Im heading for a higher panorama.

You know, its not too late for you to follow,
cause I know where Im going.


You know, its not too late for you to follow,
cause I know where Im going.

Crime Of Passion

On a bright day she passed away in the morning.
Its a cruel way to take her away with no warning.
He took her hands through every midnight hour
And then saw her fading away like a spring shower.


I can see a complete lifes time,
Pictures and posters of times and fashion.
Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme
Taken away in a crime of passion.

He stood to see if he could catch her breathing
But it was no good, he understood she was leaving.
He looked outside the frosty window pane
And then he saw her moving away, elizabeth jane.


I see freedom in sight, its a long climb
But she would not give up the fight for a long time,
And I see a light come shining in tonight.
Baby, its all right, we couldnt have changed it with second sight.


I see freedom light shining in the night.
I see freedom but she wouldnt give up the fight.

I see a light go shining in tonight.
Baby, its all right, we couldnt have changed it with second sight.

I see a light go shining in tonight.
Baby, its all right, we couldnt have changed it with second sight.

Crystal Gazing

Watching for a spark
Its a moonlight show
Reaching through the dark
Do you have to go
Try to put a message through
To your sweetheart
Wont you like to know the secrets
Of the heart

Crystal gazing
Crystal gazing
What you gonna find in
Crystal gazing

Voices in the dark
And the lights burn low
Teach yourself the art
That you never know
Try to put a message through
To your sweetheart
Wont you like to know the secrets
Of the heart

Pictures from the night
Would you be my guide
What you talk about
On the other side
Carry a message through
To your sweetheart
Wont you like to know the secrets
Of the heart

Dark Island

Away to the westward
I'm longing to be,
Where the beauties of heaven
Unfold by the sea;
Where the sweet purple heather blooms
Fragrant and free
On a hilltop high above
The Dark Island
So gentle the sea breeze,
That ripples the bay,
Where the stream joins the ocean,
And young children play;
On the strand of pure silver,
I'll welcome each day,
And I'll roam for every more,
The Dark Island
True gem of the Herbrides,
Bathed in the light,
Of the mid-summer dawning,
That follows the night;
How I yearn for the cries,
Of the seagulls in flight,
As they circle above
The Dark Island

Discovery

When you want the score
When you need a helping hand
Ad you find closed doors
And youre back where you began
Keeping those secrets
Telling those lies
Can anybody tell me whats the big surprise

Discovery
Who has the chance to know it all
Discovery
Give me some truth, stop making me crawl

How can you sleep
How can you turn away
Thinking so cheap
Some day youre gonna pay
Youre keeping secrets
Can anyone tell me why the big surprise

Give me some chance
Give me some confidence
Wont you please set me free
Wont someone deliver me
Whos keeping secrets
I got my spies
Does anybody think we live in paradise

Don Alfonso

Now Im a toreador
I am for sure
I kill bulls by the score
And sometimes more
And when they hear the bell ring
Inside the bullring
The bullocks all start trembling
They know Im coming

Im don alfonso
Some call me pedro
But that is not so
Im don alfonso
I fought bullocks out in sunny spain
Out in sunny spain
I fought bulls in the sunshine
And I fought them in the rain
Im don alfonso
I work for oxo
And all the bullocks are affraid of me
Oh my sword I pull
Kill si bull
Yes sir yes sir three bags full
Then we have steak and chips for tea

I met a sweet señora
In barcelona
Her christian name was mona
She was thumbs up bona
She told me she was single
That made me tingle
My heart went jingle jingle
I said: lets mingle

Im don alfonso
Some call me pedro
But that is not so
Im don alfonso
I fought bullocks out in sunny spain
Out in sunny spain
I fought bulls in the sunshine
And I fought bulls in the rain
Im don alfonso
I work for oxo
And all the bullocks are affraid of me
Oh my sword I pull
Kill si bull
Yes sir yes sir three bags full
Then we have fully beff for tea
