The past is done Fly fast, die young It won't be morning long It's gone, It's gone Turn back, back home The day has grown The sparrow has flown She's gone, She's gone Drift away, Sparrow fly Lift your wing, Catch the sky How you linger, How you cry Love is in the sparrow's eye (PIANO SOLO) Drift away, Sparrow fly Lift your wing, Catch the sky How you linger, How you cry Love is in the sparrow's eye The day has come Be free, be numb You won't be mourning long She's gone, She's gone Look up, Look west And see her nest The sparrow has left She's gone, She's gone Drift away, Sparrow fly Lift your wing, Catch the sky How you linger, How you cry Love is in the sparrow's eye Drift away, Sparrow fly Lift your wing, Catch the sky How you linger, How you cry Love is in the sparrow's eye Drift away, Sparrow fly Lift your wing, Catch the sky How you linger, How you cry Love is in the sparrow's eye

There's a light, that ain't shining And it's more or less dying And every heart of gold was surely sold There's a cloud, won't stop crying But the people won't stop trying And every heart of gold was surely sold There's a king, that sings of defeat But he needed the world at his feet And came it could, on a plate it would And every heart of gold was surely sold And was love in it's hiding Though it knew perfect timing And every heart of gold was surely sold Were the days sealed in writing Or are pens not for fighting And every heart of gold was surely sold And every heart of gold was surely sold

Lay by the riverside And your enemies will float on by Sweet as the sun-burnt sky Came a river long and wide Fears are never faced Without a sour taste Sweet as I can see No one follows me To the man that sings all day You're gonna clear that river from your way And like a stone on a mountain top You're gonna roll roll roll roll like a rock Calmer than the storms eye Came a river long and wide Sweeter than the heart that weeps Came a little sympathy To the man that sings all day You're gonna clear that river from your way And like a stone on a mountain top You're gonna roll roll roll roll like a rock To the man that sings all day You're gonna clear that river from your way And like a stone on a mountain top You're gonna roll roll roll roll like a rock To the man that sings all day You're gonna clear that river from your way And like a stone on a mountain top You're gonna roll roll roll roll like a rock You're gonna roll roll roll roll like a rock You're gonna roll roll roll roll like a rock You're gonna roll roll roll roll like a rock You're gonna roll roll roll roll...

Beyond the streams And hills of green The autumn days Are here These slender dreams That interfere Dissolve the seams That once were there Washed away, or is it gone Some would say, it's in the song Won't you stay where you belong Here my dear, here (Piano/Humming "Solo") The days demise Is in your eyes The hour the sun won't rise The breath of life Is hot with death The lonely night's are all that's left Give me you and I will take Like destiny belongs to fate It's only in, such little faith You're here my dear, here You're here my dear, here

First the flame Then the fire Came the voice Then the choir Oh in the darkest of hours From the earth, came the flower First the rain Then the shower Was the frame Then the tower Oh in the darkest hours From the earth, came the flower (Guitar solo) Let it grow Let it thrive Give it love Give it time Oh in the shame, that we hide From the earth, came the flower First the flame Then the fire From the earth...

Bye bye, oh bye bye Said the man they call the beast Said I'm leaving for the city With the buildings at my feet "Where are you going?" said good old lady faith Well I'm leaving for the city and I cannot be late Bye bye, oh bye bye Said the man they call the heart Said I'm leaving for the city Before the day gets dark "Where are you going?" said the girl he calls his own Well I'm leaving for the city and I'm leaving all a lone. Bye bye, oh bye bye Said the man and that was all He left for the city, but he never left a call Where was he going? No one really knew But he couldn't just sit there As his heart was turning blue

A Long Time 03:07
I've been waiting For this moment to arise Yeah I've been waiting all my life It came so fast Nothing ever lasts A long time On came winter When I decided to sing For you I'd do anything But winter passed Nothing ever lasts A long time There were days, When I'd say Goodbye My mind, In a haze It was all a lie But it came, And it went by So fast And nothing ever lasts It was foolish For me to think There would always Be somewhere for me I learned fast Nothing ever lasts A long time

All I Have 04:57
I belong to the shadows The fail in the light I live with the demons That thrive in night I long for the star That fell out of sight I sing for the song That swept you tonight I'll drown in the ocean I'll breathe in the sea I'll live in a world That's lived without me I don't control the weather I don't control the mind I'll never be ready I'll never be on time And I don't care for money And I don't wave a flag I don't care for things That I've never had And I can make you happy If you don't mind being sad You'll never see inside me Cause that's all I have
9.
I waste my days Up on the fence Some people say That I make no sense Dreams are wonderful But they came and they went Well what's rock & roll anymore Said it's lost again Dear lady blue The world's been waiting for you You won't be lonely soon The world's been waiting for you And like the sea longs a moon And comes the morning dew Dear lady blue The world's been waiting for you, for you, for you I spend my days In the rain But you will never catch me Complaining Cause the times they are changing And you will surely see That what always was Won't forever be Dear lady blue The world's been waiting for you You won't be lonely soon The world's been waiting for you And like the sea longs a moon And comes the morning dew Dear lady blue The world's been waiting for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you...

Traveling across the ocean Make my way through town Where can you reach me? Where will I be? This is my home for now Broken from what we carried Broken from what we left behind When can you reach me? Where will I be? This is my home for now This is my home for now London town in the evening Won't you come, come on down That's where you'll find me That's where I'll be This is my home for now This is my home for now This is my home for now This is my home for now

She came walking through the door And she left me on a horse That rode on through the night Say please won't you stay As the horse took her away And stole my heart from her eyes She won't be lonely On the street She won't be lonely Without me Said I'll catch you when you fall But I won't be around anymore Cause darling, I'm dying, to live Cause you left my heart in pain And I thought, I'd never change It was the horse that took her away (whistling solo) She won't be lonely On the street She won't be lonely Without me Said I'll catch you when you fall But I won't be around anymore Cause darling, I'm dying, to live Cause you left my heart in pain And I thought, I'd never change It was the horse that took her away It was the horse that took her away

Give me pain For I am hungry Give me peace For I am lost Looking down The road we travel I see the bridge It's wide and long Give me rain For I am thirsty Give me love For I am blind Walking down The road we travel I'm at the bridge It's far too long Give me soul For I am empty Give me depth For I am bare Walking back home At sundown I saw the bridge I sang its song
