1. Palms Hanging Over The Sparkling Water
Champagne on ice a coconut surprise
Laughter Jrom the rails as yachts set sail
With waves crashing ouer the shores of Loch Lomond
Crocodile tears under chandelier
Cicadas chatter above the veranda
Birds qfParadise smiles and alibis
Heard by no-one on the shores of Loch Lomond
A merry dance a sarabande in castles made of sand
When your world is washed away in the cold light of day
Christmas suntan a winter summerland
Rhythm of the shingle/aces tingle
Love songs on the surf should 1 believe the words
Since when were you on the shores of"Loch Lomond
Illusion and facade a crying heavy heart
Within the mists that risefrom waters of cold ice
Loch Lomond
A humming bird in snow when darkness is aglow
The pain that cracks the shell the breaking of a spell
Loch Lomond
4. We're All Toys Of Time
Up to the end
No one owns the night
Meanwhile the river bends
Lace lies and butterflies
Flying high above
Til these eyes have seen enough
The clock is always ticking
Hanging on the wall
The mirror's always cracked
Waitingfor us all
A rose by any other name
Squandered in the dust
Til these eyes have seen enough
The currency that lingers
Far heavier than gold
The beauty of thefirst bloom
Afairytale of old
Torn into pieces
A childhood map of love
Til these Eyes have seen enough
Punch drank in the wind
Your play is nearly run
The carpet snatched beneath you
Just when you're having
Jim The cards are in your hand
It's time to call your bluff
Til these eyes have seen enough
Tile these eyes have seen love
6. I Saw Her On The Plains
I watched her through the rain
On a buffalo dawn
Running barefoot through the corn
Her wild rose complexion
With eyes doumturned
Became my obsession
I kneui I had to return
To a place called jreedom
High Indian cheekbones
Held by wonder
She moaned like the whining mind
Chased by thunder
Torn between home
And the horizon
A dancing gazelle
In Eternity's sunrise
To a place called jreedom
7. Listen For The Boatman's Call
We're casting off as evening falls
Creeping through the harbour lights
Entering the night
Tattered posters on the pier
With laughing clowns and cavaliers
Faded smiles that drift away
And never shed a tear
We're heading out of sight
Beyond the walls of wrong or right
Desperate dreamers on the seas
Renegades and refugees
The whistling wind the rising swell
We heard six bells and all was well
Accordions sway beneath the lamps
Drunk on contraband
A cosy magic eiderdown
We can't шаке up we've run aground
Unchartered lands wе'vе lost at sea
Washed up and cast away
We're heading out of sight...
8. Waking To Life Learning To Love
Like the rising tide quickening the blood
Glide of thejalcon flight of the dove
Saw you in my dreams telepathy of love
And I've never seen your face before
Clouds like fountains in the air
Run to earth they soak the ground
A mountain range your glistening face
Monsoon falls a heart that pounds
And I've never seen your face before
Moon and Earth two are in one
Like the rising tide taken at the flood
Ancient mud red walls of day
Kissed by sun at break of day
The singing moon that fills the room
Silent call of sand dunes
And I've never seen your/ace before
Waking to life
10. She Stops To Remember A Gentler Time
With layers of pastel and blue tinted eyes
She's dating a guy tuho's half her age
Who uaguely resembles a young Jimmy Page
She's only looking for fantasy
She's only looking for fantasy
While trying out perfumes in Peter Jones
Afragrance reminds her of a time in Kings Road
In an open top car the Kennedys passed by
To this day she smears that Jack gone her the eye
She's only looking...
She tried Karl Marx and Reuerend Sun Moon
A Californian commune and Tuscany too
Somewhere in Time, A Walk in the Clouds
With Women in Loue, Farfrom the Madding Crowd
She's only looking ...
12. You Were Born In The Fields
Way back when your life was real
Now you look at those you despise
With your catwalk eyes
Oh Lord...
From the wrong side of the tracks
Swore you wеге newer ever going back
Nature gave you the perfect disguise
Catwalk eyes
Princes and poets and congressmen
At yourfeet they stand in a long line
They want to meet you as you wаlк by
Flashing those catwalk eyes
Born in the fields
Way back uihen your life was real
Now you look at those you despise
With your catwalk eyes
13. A Startwash In A Sea Of Dreams
A ride that's never ending
From a lost tuorld into a spinning
Fairground in space
Shining teapot spilling a mother ship of fire
Aladdin's lamp pouring down the Milky Wag
Big dipper roller coaster jumping jack exploding
Night and dag you're tuhirling on aferris wheel
Turn this Island Earth
A red shift cluster bright
Signalfrom the other side
Lampun'ck and Slats are laughing
Begond the speed of light gears passing
All the shooting stars
Rings of Saturn calling a red planet blazing
The singing moons ofjupiter around gour eyes
Turn this Island Earth
Looking backfrom inhere we are
City lights clusters of stars,
While we fly
A jewel in the сrоwn of a universe
Saphire blue in a golden starburst
Oceans of deep sky
Standing on the moon
Gazing at all the mountains in China
Mother earth sleeping
With all her children inside her
Starbound spirits
Rising in mind out of time
Free from the bonds around us
Captives in waking mankind
Turn this Island Earth
20. Well If"you Need To Why Don't You Call On Me
That's what I'm made for I'll be around
Through your window are you ready to go
Neverland fires that glow
Under sail wе'ге louers in flight
Enter the night
Spellbound a bridge to the stars
Rainbow road nearer by far
Bright flames burn through the days
And enter the night
Lit by the lantern of love
Held fast you'll never grow up
Your hair like coal blackclouds
On the tambourine moon above
Well if you need to why don't you call on me
Sound a thousand violins on a sweet summer night
Slumbers chain
The colour of gold
Bound to your dreams
Let them unfold
Freefrom the Earth
When lovers cry
Enter the night
