              Circle Of Hands             

 
                   Circle of hands
                   Cold spirits plan
                   Searching my land
                   For an enemy
                   Came across
                   Love's sweet cost
                   And in the face of beauty
                   Evil was lost
                   
                   Sky full of eyes
                   Minds full of lies
                   Black from their cold hearts
                   Down to their graves
                   Murdered the dawn
                   Spreading their scorn
                   Cursing the sun
                   Of which love was born
                   
                   We must keep them away
                   Or pretty soon we'll pay
                   And count the cost in sorrow
                   Sacrifice - the future has it's price
                   And today is only
                   Yesterday's tomorrow
                   
                   Tomorrow ...

              Come Away Melinda             
 

                   Daddy, daddy, come and look
                   See what I have found
                   A little ways away from here
                   While digging in the ground

                    Come away Melinda
                    Come in and close the door
                    It's nothing, just a picture-book
                    They had before the war
                   
                   Daddy, daddy, come and see
                   Daddy, come and look
                   Why, there's four or five
                   Little Melinda girls
                   Inside my picture book
                   
                    Come away Melinda
                    Come in and close the door
                    There were lots of little girls like you
                    Before they had the war
                   
                   Oh Daddy, daddy, come and see
                   Daddy, hurry do
                   Why, there's someone
                   In a pretty dress
                   She's all grown up like you
                   Won't you tell me why 
                   
                    Come away Melinda
                    Come in and close the door
                    That someone is your Mummy
                    You had before the war
                    
                   Daddy, daddy, tell me if you can
                   Why can't things be
                   The way they were
                   Before the war began
                   
                    Come away Melinda
                    Come in and close the door
                    The answer lies in yesterday
                    Before they had the war

                   It's called easy livin'
                   This is a place I've
                   Never seen before
                   And I've been forgiven

                   Somewhere along the lonely road
                   I had tried to find you
                   Day after day on that windy road
                   I had walked behind you

                   Waiting, watching
                   Wishing my whole life away
                   Dreaming, thinking
                   Ready for my happy day
                   And some easy livin'

              July Morning             
                   
                   
                   There I was on a July morning
                   Looking for love
                   With the strength
                   Of a new day dawning
                   And the beautiful sun
                   
                   At the sound
                   Of the first bird singing
                   I was leaving for home
                   With the storm
                   And the night behind me
                   And a road of my own
                   
                    With the day came the resolution
                    I'll be looking for you
                    La la la la ...
                   
                   I was looking for love
                   In the strangest places
                   Wasn't a stone
                   That I left unturned
                   Must have tried more
                   Than a thousand faces
                   But not one was aware
                   Of the fire that burned
                   
                    In my heart, in my mind, in my soul
                    La la la la ...
                   
                   There I was on a July morning
                   I was looking for love
                   With the strength
                   Of a new day dawning

                   And the night behind me
                   Yeah, and a road of my own

                   "Look At Yourself" - 1971





                                                                          к началу страницы
              Lady In Black             
                   
                   
                   She came to me one morning
                   One lonely Sunday morning
                   Her long hair flowing
                   In the midwinter wind
                   I know not how she found me
                   For in darkness I was walking
                   And destruction lay around me
                   From a fight I could not win
                   Ah ah ah ...
                   
                   She asked me name my foe then
                   I said the need within some men
                   To fight and kill their brothers
                   Without thought of love or God
                   And I begged her give me horses
                   To trample down my enemies
                   So eager was my passion
                   To devour this waste of life
                   Ah ah ah ...
                   
                   But she wouldn't think of battle that
                   Reduces men to animals
                   So easy to begin
                   And yet impossible to end
                   For she's the mother of our men
                   Who counselled me so wisely then
                   I feared to walk alone again
                   And asked if she would stay 
                   Ah ah ah ...
                   
                   Oh lady lend your hand outright
                   And let me rest here at your side
                   Have faith and trust
                   In peace she said
                   And filled my heart with life
                   There is no strength in numbers
                   Have no such misconception
                   But when you need me
                   Be assured I won't be far away
                   Ah ah ah ...
                   
                   Thus having spoke she turned away
                   And though I found no words to say
                   I stood and watched until I saw 
                   Her black coat disappear
                   My labour is no easier
                   But now I know I'm not alone
                   I find new heart each time
                   I think upon that windy day
                   And if one day she comes to you
                   Drink deeply from her words so wise
                   Take courage from her
                   As your prize
                   And say hello from me
                   Ah ah ah ...

                   I see you running
                   Don't know what
                   You're running from
                   Nobody's coming
                   What'd you do that was so wrong
                   
                   Look back and turn back
                   Look at yourself
                   Don't be afraid, just
                   Look at yourself

                   Or if all you need is love
                   There's no point in hiding
                   Tell me what you're frightened of
                   
                   You've got a friend, just
                   Look at yourself
                   Don't be afraid, just
                   Look at yourself

              Rain             
 

                   It's raining outside
                   But that's not unusual
                   But the way that I'm feeling
                   Is becoming usual
                   I guess you could say
                   The clouds are moving away
                   Away from your days
                   And into mine
                   
                   Now it's raining inside
                   It's kind of a shame
                   And it's getting to me
                   A happy man
                   Why should you want to
                   Waste all my time
                   The world is yours
                   But I am mine
                   
                   Rain, rain, rain in my tears
                   Measuring carefully my years
                   Shame, shame, shame in my mind
                   See what you've done to my life
                    
                   See what you've done to my life

              Sympathy             
 

                   Sympathy just doesn't mean
                   That much to me
                   Compassion's not
                   The fashion in my mind
                   And if you're looking for
                   A shoulder to cry on
                   Don't turn your head my way
                   'Cause I'd rather have
                   My music any day
                   
                   You and I are
                   Masters of our destiny
                   We look for consolation all the time
                   Until we find out things are not
                   What they were meant to be, oh no
                   And if it doesn't suit our mood
                   We'll call it crime
                   
                   Dedication's not an obligation
                   Or a figment of
                   Someone's imagination
                   It's the only way they say
                   To live from day to day
                   To make each passing way
                   A small sensation
                   
                   Dreams are the possession of
                   The simple man
                   Reality the fantasy of youth
                   But living is a problem that
                   Is common to us all
                   With love the only
                   Common road to truth

              The Park             


                   Let me walk a while alone
                   Among the sacred rocks and stones
                   Let me look in vain belief
                   Upon the beauty of each leaf
                   
                   There is green in every blade
                   The tree tops lean providing shade
                   Maypoles spin in happy sound
                   All nature's strength around
                   
                   And there's a horse that feels no pain
                   Its iron strength to take the strain
                   Children rock it to and fro
                   And gaily drink its colour-glow
                   
                   Above, the sky, devoid of cloud
                   Thinks not to cast a thunder shroud
                   Upon this place so full of joy
                   A field of gold of loves employ
                   
                   So, why my heavy heart? You say
                   When tears would stain
                   The sights so gay
                   My brother's dreams once here did soar
                   Until he died at the hand
                   Of needless war

              What Should Be Done             
 

                   So you think
                   You found a way of living
                   That prevents
                   You losing any sleep

                   It's your piece of mind
                   You oughta keep
                   
                   You'll run into trouble for sure
                   By living behind a locked door
                   
                   Will you run the risk
                   Of being taunted
                   By doing what you wanna do
                   Or do you prefer to have
                   Your whole life haunted
                   By the ones who
                   Choose to care for you
                   
                   Beware of their motives my friend
                   Take care

                   Watch out for winter
                   It'll bite you with cold
                   Black spirits trying hard
                   To bribe you with gold
                   
                   Would you steal a nickel
                   from a blind man
                   Well, right now
                   I do believe you would
                   It's not the thought of you
                   Doing it that hurts me
                   It's the mind behind it
                   What's no good
                   
                   If this is your way
                   I don't wanna know
                   It's only so far I can go
                   
                   I won't go no further
                   Not for you or anyone
                   I have my own ideas on
                   What should be done

              Wise Man


                   I sat before the wise man
                   In the autumn of my youth
                   And I told him all
                   The things I had to know
                   He said you have the future
                   If you need to find the truth
                   And in his eyes
                   I saw that it was so
                    
                   So I came right out
                   And asked him
                   The meaning of life
                   And as he smiled
                   I saw a twinkle in his eye
                   He said with all his years
                   There's still so much
                   He has to learn
                   And once again
                   I saw that it was so
                   
                   Keep on living, loving
                   Waiting your turn
                   It's the only way to
                   Ease your concern
                   If you want to find
                   Your dream, be sure
                   You don't wake up too soon
                   Or you'll find it easier
                   Shooting for the moon
                    
                   Wise man, wise man
                   Which way shall I run
                   There's so many roads
                   So many ways to turn
                   I am like a blind man
                   Lost in the sun
                   I wanna be like you
                   And be a wise man too
                   But I'm looking for
                   An easy way to learn
                   And be a wise man too
