Woman of a thousand years How are your sons of a time ago Do they still admire your silvered ways As you go down To the sea and golden sand You may be seen up in the sky And from the land Or floating by, a fisherman's day Flying down from a high She is gone, and then appears From the water's edge Woman of a thousand years He waits to see you... You may be seen up in the sky And from the land Or floating by, a fisherman's day Flying down from a high She is gone, and then appears From the water's edge He waits to see you For it has been long since you left him On his own to wander Woman of a thousand years How are your sons of a time ago Do they still admire your silvered ways As you go down To the sea and golden sand
Clear as the morning rain Seeing it very plain We've got to start again What's that you do What's that you say There's no use complaining It's the only way There's no use feeling dissatisfied Cause how can you know until you've tried Clear as the morning rain Seeing it very plain We've got to start again Everthings going around in my head The futures new and the past is dead Pull out the stops, turn on the light Cause away from the darkness everything seems bright Clear as the morning rain Seeing it very plain We've got to start again Do do do do do do do do do do do do Do do do do do do do do do do do do Do do do do do do do do do do do do Do do do do do do do do do do do do...
I did a thing last night You know those future games I turned off all the lights Oh, the future came You were by my side Will you explain-oh yeah Real rhyme or reason for those future games Now you were there last night And oh were you afraid Of things we'd come upon While playing future games But baby it's alright and so have faith Oh yeah, you invent the future that you want to face How many people sit home at night Wondering if they will be here tonight Wondering if children will he bring to the light Inherit the world, or inherit the night Wondering if neighbors are thinking the same All of the wild things tomorrow will tame Talking of journeys that happen in vain Well I know I'm not the only one To ever spend my life sitting playing future games You better take your time You know there's no escape The future sends a sign Of things we will create Baby it's alright And so have faith Oh yeah, you invent the future that you want to face How many people sit home at night Wondering if they will be here tonight Wondering if children will he bring to the light Inherit the world, or inherit the night Wondering if neighbors are thinking the same All of the wild things tomorrow will tame Talking of journeys that happen in vain And I know I'm not the only one To ever spend my life sitting playing future games Future games... Future games... Future games... Future games... I know I'm not the only one... I know I'm not the only one... I know I'm not the only one... I know I'm not the only one... I know I'm not the only one... I know I'm not the only one... I know I'm not the only one... I know I'm not the only one...
The magic of a blackened night Can go so far, but not seem right Although my love, will drive away the sunshine The magic of, a blackened night And before you go show me All the words of love And the falling sands of time Blow my wind and drifted by To and frow the trees still bend Wondering what the host will send We will go right down to the sea Bathing in light we will be free to wander And the falling sands of time Blow my wind and drifted by To and frow the trees still bend Wondering what the host will send We will go right down to the sea Bathing in light we will be free to wander And the falling sands of time Blow my wind and drifted by To and frow the trees still bend Wondering what the host will send We will go right down to the sea Bathing in light we will be free to wander The magic of a blackened night Can go so far, but not seem right Although my love, will drive away the sunshine The magic of, a blackened night
Sometimes I get to thinking About the times we used to have But now you've gone away and left me-so alone (La di da, la di da da, la di da) Although my back is aching I'll work the whole day through Although you hear that I've been wasting All my time Taking the sun from the sky Lifting our hearts to the day Thinking of new revelations Talking with nothing to say Sometimes I get to thinking About the times we used to have But now you've gone away and left me-so alone (La di da, la di da da, la di da) Although my back is aching I'll work the whole day through Although you hear that I've been wasting All my time Taking the sun from the sky Lifting our hearts to the day Thinking of new revelations Talking with nothing to say
