THIS MORNING
(Justin Hayward)
As the dawn is breaking on your future my child
Is there none of your love alive?
If every door you open closes on me
I don't know if I can survive
I don't know if I can survive
Long is the road that takes you from home
My baby, oh my darling
Sleepless are the hours
And lonely is the night
For the poor tormented soul
Who is searching for the light
This morning
I opened my eyes
I knew from the silence
That something was wrong
Turning I realised
I wanted to cry
When I knew I was alone
But where will you go
And who will be your guide
And which way will you turn
The waters are so wide
Cos I never told you
No you'll never really know
I need you so
Now the sun is rising on your freedom my child
Is there none of your love alive?
Every door you open closes on me
I don't know if I can survive
Knowing part of your love was lies
Long is the road
That takes you from home
My baby
Oh my darling
Sleepless are the hours
And lonely is the night
The poor tormented soul
Who is searching for the light
The moment
I opened my eyes
I knew from the silence
That something was wrong
Turning
I realised
I wanted to cry
When I knew I was alone
But where will you go
And who will be your guide
And which way will you turn
The waters are so wide
Cos I never told you
No you'll never really know
I need you so
REMEMBER ME (MY FRIEND)
(Justin Hayward & John Lodge)
You don't need to ask me if I'll be your friend
I am
I am
You don't need to ask me if I'm sure my friend
I am
I am your friend
You must remember me
I'm the one who saw through the world's disguise
Took away its cloak and I made it hide
From me
Remember me?
Walking on this earth finding you
You, you
Walking on this earth finding you
You, you
What can I say
You don't need to find the words to say what's on your mind
If you need a reason to begin again
I am
I am
You will find an answer at your journey's end
I am
Waiting there my friend
You must remember me
I'm the one who knew you when
I'm the one you call your friend
Feel free
Remember me
Walking on this earth finding you
You, you
Walking on this earth finding you
You, you
What can I say
You don't need to find the words to say what's on your mind
Walking on this earth finding you
You, you
Walking on this earth finding you
You, you
What can I say
You don't need to find the words to say what's on your mind
Walking on this earth finding you
You, you
Walking on this earth finding you
You, you
Walking on this earth finding you
You, you
You, you
You, you
You, you
MY BROTHER
(Justin Hayward)
My brother
If you could cast a little light on someone
It's not too soon
You took me halfway round the world
I'm running out of time and reasons
My true friend
If you could tell me what it is that keeps you
From coming down
You left me way up in the clouds
The higher you fly
The less I see you
So far
Cross a wild and windy sea
So far
That our voices are divided by an ocean
An ocean
My brother
If you could take a little time to slow down
It's more your style
It takes a lifetime to decide
I'm running out of time and reasons
I'm running out
I'm running out
So far
Cross a wild and windy sea
So far
That our voices are
Divided by an ocean
An ocean
YOU
(John Lodge)
You don't even know my name
Time was when you would
Take the love you've given all away
Take a part of me
You don't even walk my road
Can't find where you turned
Looked away and you were gone
Now we're on our own
Old man is this why we're alone
I, I believe
What is lost for ever has brought the change in me
I, I believe
What is lost for ever has brought the change in me
You don't even know my world
I've tried hard to see
If I'd found the world you're looking for
There'd be a change in me
You don't even know my name
Time was when you would
Take the love you've given all away
Take a part of me
You've gone and changed the world I see
I, I believe
What is lost for ever has brought the change in me
I, I believe
What is lost for ever has brought the change in me
NIGHTS WINTERS YEARS
(Justin Hayward)
Pain, sorrow, tears
Long, lonely years
With love
Having passed me by
I could live a lie for you
But truth is the road I choose
Knowing all I need to do
Is give to you
Down, down down
Where your dreams are found
They're sleeping inside of us all
They're sleeping inside of us all
Nights, winters, years
Pain, sorrow, tears of mine
Cannot hold me now
I'm a fool to fall for you
But here
In the morning light
Tell me how can love be wrong
And feel so right
SAVED BY THE MUSIC
(John Lodge)
When you're swallowing all your pride
Do you need somewhere
A place to hide
A smile from your face
Where the light comes shining through
All its strength it came from you
It's lost now all that age before I knew you
Is it that forever is hard to find
You made me recognise what I'd been leaving far behind
Is it closing in on you like it was on me
This time I'm saved by the music
Saved by the song we can sing
This time I'm saved by the music
Saved by the song that you bring
When you're following all life's lies
And find its meaning
The truth still hides
Don't cover your face
Let the warmth come flowing through
Welcome dawn new morning dew
This time I'm saved by the music
Saved by the song we can sing
This time I'm saved by the music
Saved by the song that you bring
When you're swallowing all life's lies
This time we're saved by the music
Saved by the song we can sing
This time we're saved by the music
Saved by the song that you bring
This time we're saved
I DREAMED LAST NIGHT
(Justin Hayward)
Oh I dreamed last night I was hearing
Hearing your voice
And the things that you said well they left me
Left me no choice
And you told me we had the power
And you told me this was the hour
That you don't know how
If I could show you now
Well I dreamed last night you were calling
Calling my name
You were locked inside of you secrets
Calling my name
And you told me lost was the key
And you told me how you long to be free
That you don't know how
Oh let me show you now
Like a bird on a far distant mountain
Like a ship on an uncharted sea
You are lost in the arms that have found you
Don't be afraid
Love's plans are made
Oh don't be afraid
If there's a time
And a place to begin love
It must be now
Let it go
Set it free
Oh I dreamed last night I was hearing
Hearing your voice
Why did you say those things that have left me
Left me no choice
When you told me we had the power
Why did you tell me now was the hour
But you don't know how
Oh let me show you now
Like a bird on a far distant mountain
Like a ship on an uncharted sea
You are lost in the arms that have found you
Oh don't be afraid
Love's plans are made
Don't be afraid
If there's a time
And a place to begin love
It must be now
Let it go
Set it free
Oh I dreamed last night I was hearing
Hearing your voice
WHO ARE YOU NOW
(Justin Hayward)
Who are you now
First love of mine
If you could see
You'd reach out for me
In hallways
And in secret doorways
Were love's hiding places
With nowhere to go
Goodbye
To the fields and byways
I remember saying
I don't want to leave
Cos you, were all, there was to know
About me
Somewhere
On this crazy island
A familiar stranger
Sleeps so far away
Wonder in the eyes of children
And the smile of fortune
Helps the memory fade
Cos they are all there is to know
About me
Who are you now
MAYBE
(John Lodge)
Maybe
Maybe I'm wrong
To go on thinking, to sing my song
Maybe
This world's falling down
Call up the trumpeters and knock the walls down
Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you
Slowly
Slowly we walk
No harm in crying, no sense in talk
Slowly
The ice melts away
Call on the choir to sing
And turn no-one away
Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you
Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you
Maybe
Maybe I'm wrong
The river holds its breath
The sea will keep its calm
Slowly
Slowly we turn
A look at where we've been
The juggler has to learn
Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you
Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you
WHEN YOU WAKE UP
(Justin Hayward & John Lodge)
Now as we speed a little faster through the stars
To this new world of ours
With the seed that the garden requires
And as we drift a little further from the shore
Like the sea evermore
I'm the ivy that clings round your door
When you wake up
You will find
That you're not where you left yourself
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Now as we drift a little further down the stream
Was it all what it seemed
Was it true
Was it real
Or just a dream
When you wake up
You will find
That you're not where you left yourself
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Now as we speed a little faster through the stars
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
BLUE GUITAR
(Justin Hayward)
Blue guitar
Fortune of my ways
Making of my days
New chord
Counting up the ways
Happiness is lazy
If you don't know the song
If you can't put the words to the tune
Tell the rhyme from the reason
What should it matter
To the fool or the dreamer
New hope
Travellers in a storm
Finding love is warm
New day
The world has just begun
Our eyes have seen the sun
If you don't know the way
If you can't see the wood for the trees
Taste the wine from the water
Well what should it matter
To the fool or the dreamer
