1. Broken Dreams
Broken dreams at the daybreak
Waking up to a brand пеш dawn
And as the world turns flnd the way it used to be is almost there
And then you drift away
Falling through your safety net
Crashing down
Onto so thin ice
Shattered glass clouds your clear view
And your new world is neither
here nor there
Wounded praying in the headlights
Running wild on an empty plain
Twist and turn now
Feeling half down in the swirl
deeper than before
Broken dreams at the daybreak
Waking up to a brand new dawn
And as the world turns
And the way it used to be is almost'there
And then you drift away
You drift away
2. Green Spikey Cactus
There's a painted smile on your face
That goes with your crickets eyes
There's ten buzzards circling around you
That provide you with your alibis
Your alibis
You remind me of a green spikey coctus
Lonely on an open desert road
You hurt the ones that get caught up
It's your needles, never leave them alone
Come together
Let's come together right now
Gonna cut you down
Come together
Let's come together right now
Gonno cut you down
Cut you down
There's a twister coming ormodillo
A rattlesnake hiding in the bush
Bite the dust low down senorito
The sond is all run out and you're bust
Cut you down
Come together
Let's come together right now
Gonna cut you down come together
Let's come together right now
Gonna cut you down
Cut you down
You remind me of a green spikey cactus
Lonely on an open desert road
You hurt the ones that get caught up
It's your needles never leave them alone
Come together
Let's come together right now
Gonna cut you down come together
Let's come together right now
Gonna cut you down
Cut you down
Son of a bitch you damn darn
Potato-head
I'm gonna swat like a big fat fly
3. Love Devotion
Put your head upon my shoulder
'Cos I need to know you're there
And every day that I'm getting older
Can't pretend that there's no fear
Like autumn leaves that fall and scatter
Get down away and disappear
I don't mant to lose this good thing
I just want to keep you near
Our love runs deep
Deep with devotion
Higher than the highest sky
Bluer than the bluest ocean
Our love runs deep
Deep with devotion
Higher than the highest sky
Bluer than the bluest ocean
Put your hand into my hand
And let me look into your eyes
I can see the way you're feeling
And the love that's in your smile
Like autumn leaves that fall and scatter
Get blоwn awаy and disappear
I don't want to lose this good thing
I just want to keep you near
Our love runs deep
Deep with devotion
Higher than the highest sky
Bluer than the bluest ocean
Like autumn leaves that fall and scatter
Get blоwn аwаy and disappear
I don't want to lose this good thing
I just want to keep you neor
Our love runs deep
Deep with devotion
Higher than the highest sky
Bluer than the bluest ocean
Our love runs deep
Deep with devotion
Higher than the highest sky
Bluer than the bluest ocean
4. Wish You Well
Goodbye old friend
Off with Saint Serene
Out on flight nineteen
I wish you well
If what you say is true
And there's another state
We'll meet again some day
As we wander through
You found a way
To make yourself be heard
Seems like the time had come
To leave the people's world
Goodbye old friend
Off with Saint Serene
Out on flight nineteen
I wish you well
And somewhere
Far on a red horizon
Your flame
Lightens a darkened mind
And somehow
It doesn't seem so surprising
'Cos the truth
Was right there before your eyes
5. 6PM
La una de la tarde
Las dos de la tarde
Las tres de la tarde
Las cuatro de la tarde
Las cinco
6pm
6. Waiting For The Sun To Shine
I'm walking down the road
A ten ton weight on my head
On my head
Feeling cold
Feeling cold to the bone
To the bone
And I'm waiting
Waiting for the clouds to break
Waiting for the sun to shine
And you don't knоw where I've been
And you don't knоw where I've been
Where I've been
What I've seen
I'm coming through to the light
As light as a feather in the mind
Blowing in the mind
And I'm waiting
For the clouds to break
And I'm waiting
For the sun to shine
'Cos I'm waiting
Waiting for the sun to shine
'Cos I'm waiting
Waiting for the sun to shine
'Cos I'm waiting
Waiting for the sun to shine
Shine on
Shine on

8. Cissbury Ring
On the hill
High up on the Downs
If it's clear
You can see for miles and miles
Down below
All along the coast
Near the rocks
The sun on the sea glitters everywhere
Meanwhile up in the air
The birds they swoop
They dive
There's another world
Up here
You knоw it's hard to describe
Then we walked
Right around the fort
And then we talked
We spoke about the olden days
Of a time
Many years ago
Forgotten days
When life was simpler than we know
Meanwhile up in the air
The birds they swoop
They dive
There's another world
Up here
You knоw it's hard to describe
On top
Of Cissbury Ring
Four seasons in a day
Confusion drifts away
On Cissbury Ring
Meanwhile up in the air
The birds they swoop
They dive
There's another world
Up here
You knоw it's hard to describe
On top
Of Cissbury Ring
Four seasons in a day
Confusion drifts away
On Cissbury Ring

10. Shoreline
The clouds are drifting
As the sand is shifting
Along the shoreline
And as the sun sets
The sound of darkness
Is there for evermore
I've walked through troubled waters
And out on my journey before
But to tell you the truth
I can't turn it around anymore
It's an everyday story
To those familiar with pain
But I'm sure you don't want to hear
That old ending again
Now the tide's coming in
I think it's time to go
Yes the tide's coming in
And I've got nowhere to go
Oh the tide is rising
And I've got to go
11. Always You
Now that you're all alone
And far from the madding crowd
I hope you realise
That love was not in vain
Always you
It was always you
You were the one for me
1 always knew
Alwoys you
It was always you
You were the one for me
I was always true
And after all's said and done
And now that the time has gone
And the glory days are done
I'll drift into the night
Always you
It was always you
You were the one for me
I always knew
12. Sacred Days ( '88 remix )
Sacred days
Sacred nights
Socred time
Spent with you
Sacred days
Sacred nights
Sacred time
Spent with you
You took your chance with me
I had no place to go
I hoped that you would come along
You turned my head around
I had no time to waste
I guess I found out just in time
Sacred doys
Sacred nights
Sacred time
Spent with you
I took you by the hand
You made me feel so strong
I knew it wouldn't be too long
That I'd be there with you
And you'd be there with me
Some things ore meant to be
Sacred days
Sacred nights
Sacred time
Spent with you
