Song Lyrics
Fortune Teller(Intro)
(Verse 1)
You can ask the fortune teller
You can ask the prophets and the priests
You can ask the white heather seller
But none of them can speak your destiny
(Verse 2)
You can ask the skies above us
You can ask the moon and the stars
You can ask the ones who love us
But it is only you who can know who you are
Who you are
You can ask, you can ask anyone
(Verse 3, modulated to relative major)
You can ask the hills and mountains
You can ask the forests and the trees
You can ask the streams and fountains
But none of them can know what is to be
It's a mystery
(Piano solo)
(Coda)
So don't dwell on what could be
Or search for certainty
For tomorrow is a mystery
Distance
With every smile you won a little more of me
enveloping my spirit with your sweet serenity
Not a care in the world
Has the happy little girl
Who's never known a broken heart
With each embrace our bodies melted into one
And love became a playground
Where enchanted we could run
Throwing cares to the wind
Relieved of all our sin
So far away
From broken hearts
But oh! The distance came to play and bore you away on its wings
And oh!
Now life is tainted by the uncertainty of change
Now empty words and smiles are all that we can claim
and since the lonely winter
love has never been the same
where childhoodís laughter played
emotions are the slave to endless fear
and frozen hearts
And oh! I would give anything to return to the fairytale land
Where faith and love are governed by an illusion
Ever clear
So much easier than the truth
With every tear I lost a little more of you
'til through the window now
I watch you disappear from view
So much pain in the world
For the weeping little girl
Who's never mend her broken heart
Addicted
(Intro)
(Verse 1)
Seems so long since I've had my fix
Rationality and you don't seem to mix
Tell me when can I receive my dose?
You are the substance that I crave the most
I crave the most
(Verse 2)
Withdrawal symptoms when you're not here
Tell me how long until you reappear?
How can I quit you, how can I stop
Now that I'm hooked and I can't give you up
Can't give you up
(Chorus)
You've got me captivated
Intoxicated
So fixated by you
(repeat)
(Guitar solo)
(Bridge 1)
Captivated,
So elated.
Frustrated by you
(Chorus)
You've got me captivated
Intoxicated
So fixated by you
(repeat)
No more strength I can render
I've given in to sweet surrender
Intoxicated by you
(repeat)
(Bridge 2)
Yes I'm addicted
Thoughts conflicted
Afflicted by you
(Chorus)
You've got me captivated
Intoxicated
So fixated by you
(repeat)
No more strength I can render
I've given in to sweet surrender (You've got me captivated)
Intoxicated by you (Intoxicated)
No more strength I can render (So fixated on you)
I've given in to sweet surrender (I'm so fixated by you.)
(Vocal improvisation)
(Piano riff)
Kestrel
There was a tale told by Barry Hines
About feathers, talons and a boy.
'Tis when I fly thee upon to t'moor
I forget my troubled home life.
'Tis when I fly thee I forget all my troubles.
'Tis then I feel stronger
And face up to my problems.
'Tis when I fly thee on to t'moor
'Tis when I feel free again
'Tis when I fly thee into t'woods
'Tis when I feel strong again.
Kes, it' time to fly
And when we've done all that we can do,
Heading homewards slowly through the rain,
I hear a cry come from out my glove;
It is then I see the drop of blood:
"My friend, what has happened?
I can see you've been bleeding,
Been hurt by another.
Let's go home and I'l tend you."
'Tis when I fly thee on to t'moor
'Tis when I feel free again
'Tis when I fly thee into t'woods
'Tis when I feel strong again.
Kes, it's time to fly.
Far Out To Sea
(Verse 1)
When I look far out to sea
I see the sea and she sees me.
I dance amongst her rippling waves
And glide on through her reefs and caves.
(Verse 2)
When I look far out to sea
She slowly seems to swallow me.
Engulfed in sheeny waters blue
I slide and soar as fishes do.
(Piano Solo 1)
(Verse 3, Modulated to relative major)
When I look far out to sea
I see the sea and she sees me.
But if the sea could not see me
I really don't think it could be
Quite so thrilling,
Quite so free
As seeing Sea when she sees me
(Bridge 1)
At one with the sea I am strong
For I know this is where I belong
And so here I'll remain
In your salty domain
With each whispering wave I feel safe
Lost in the blue
Of You
(Piano solo 2)
(Bridge 2)*
The white on the wave like pearls
Swimming in the secrets of the world
How I long to linger here
Without fear, without fear
(Verse 3 Repeat, minor)
When I look far out to sea
I see the sea and she sees me.
But if the sea could not see meÝ
I really don't think it could be
Quite so thrilling,
Quite so free
As seeing Sea when she sees me
*Also french version of Bridge 2:
Je regarde les blancheurs des ondes
Nagant parmis les secrets du monde
Moi, j'adore rester ici
Sans souci, sans souci
Identity Lost
Your footsteps tread upon my ground
Stopping me short in my tracks
Previous plans get left behind
Mind should crave a higher goal
Philosophies beyond my grasp
Threatening yet enticing me
Your hand leads me to paths unknown
Feeding desires I never knew I had
(Chorus)
Fill the air so I can't breathe
Take my voice so I can't scream
No going back now
Live for the moment
I'm melting away
Head is getting irrational
desperation has shown her face
your indifference is killing me
yet attraction drives me insane
(Chorus)
Fill the air...
I've fallen completely under your spell
Identity lost
(Piano improv)
Fast lane beckons you to her side
Screw the world, leave the rules behind
You submit without a backward glance
No time now to fit me in
(Double Chorus)
1. But you stole the air...
Identity lost
2. Stole the air...
You had your bit of fun
Chuck it out now
You've already gone
Healing you
Let me hold you
Your body's aching
Console you, soothe your troubled mind
Touch you gently and feel
The mark she leaves
Like a tattoo on your soul left behind.
Speak softly to the starlight
Whisper to the trees
Extend your hand to the evening breeze
Breathe and feel release
Close your eyes and let me feel you
Open up and let it in
Content to lie and let it heal you
One breath at a time.
Let the time pass by
Don't stop to wonder why
I know what you're needing
Can bind up your bleeding
All I ask of you is that you try.
(Repeat)
I hold you
No longer aching
Consoled you
Troubles far behind
And in the morning light
You'll realise
That the truth lies right before your eyes
The truth lies before your eyes.
