1. BIRD OF PREY

I can see that look that says beware
Try to move in closer if you dare
So I must sit and play my waiting game
And for a while I know she'll do the same
Fly away

Watches like an eagle from its eerie
Then like a bird of prey she captures me
But I am older and more wise than you
Bird of prey straight into me you flew
Fly away

Now every time I've tried to set her free
I'm glad to say she comes right back to me
But if I knew she didn't want to stay
I wouldn't try to keep that lovely bird of prey


2. 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 glade
The tree tops been providing shade
They go spinning 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 trim its coloured brow

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

Above the sky devoid of cloud
Think not to cast a thunder shroud
Upon this place so full of joy
A field of gold of love's employ

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

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

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah


3. TIME TO LIVE

Let me see the sunshine
Let me feel the rain
Let me go where I want to go
I want to smell the flowers
See the dawn again
Find those friends I used to know
Find those friends I used to know

Well I spent twenty long years
In a dirty old prison cell
I never saw the light of day
If you could understand oh
That kind of living hell
That's the price I have to pay Oh Yeah
That's the price I have to pay Oh Yeah, oh oh

They said I killed a man
But I never told them why
So you can guess what I've been through
So for twenty long years
I've been thinking of that other guy
And what I saw him do to you
What I saw him do to you

Listen here
So if tomorrow comes
And I walk outside that door
Try to understand the strain
But if you smile that smile
I know I couldn't ask for more
I know I'd do it all again
Yes I would
I know I'd do it all again
Yeah yeah yeah yeah oh yeah
Do it all again
Do it all again


4. 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

Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh

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

Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh

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 all men
Who counselled me so wisely then
I feared to walk alone again
And asked if she would stay

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's no strength in numbers
Have no such misconception
But when you need me
Be assured I won't be far away

Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh

Thus having spoke she turned away
And though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until I saw
Her black cloak disappear
My labour is no easier
But now I know I'm not alone
I'll 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

Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh


5. HIGH PRIESTESS

You, who brought the sunshine to my eyes
You, who wondered through my sad disguise
And I have a love that can not die... for you

High Priestess of my heart
Tell me that we won't part

Then let's get together in the sky
To leave the lonely world to wonder why
For we have a love that cannot die... so true

High priestess of my heart
Tell me that we won't part


6. SALISBURY

Somewhere in your eyes that very special glow
Somthing drawing me to where I do not know
I never really thought that I would lose myself
Now I'm moving faster than anybody else

You moved without a sound and touched me with your hand
Just like the rains that fondles every little grain of sand
This thing we're going to do it's just for you and me
I'm gonna make it good, good as it can be, oh
Do it this time with me

Your kiss is sweeter now your breath is getting warm
We must take our time to make it last 'til dawn
I wonder will it be oh I expect it to
There have been other girls but no one else like you
I feel a power here I never felt before
And I begin to see what draws us to want more
Oh girl of all my dreams please tell me if I'm wrong
Because I've been blue, but we belong

As time passed and all too fast
I knew we couldn't last
And I guessed that the end was near at last
Though we tried our love inside
It just crumpled up and died
What went wrong I will never understand
You tell me why
Alone again, how could you leave me
Alone again, I don't wanna be
Alone again, yeah !

There's a line in a rhyme I was going to send to you
It says "All that is to be will surely be"
So you thought you had to go
'Cause you needed someone new
Is there still a chance that you'll come back to me
I want you back you see Alone again, how could you leave me
Alone again, how could you leave me
Alone again, I don't want to be alone again yeah !
