Valley's deep and the mountain's so high
If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side
You stand up there with your head in the clouds
Don't try to fly you know you might not come down
Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down
Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
The people said it was a virgin birth
Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
The people said it was a virgin birth
He told great stories of the Lord
And said he was the saviour of us all
He told great stories of the Lord
And said he was the saviour of us all
For this they/we killed him, nailed him up high
He rose again as if to ask us why
Then he ascended into the sky
As if to say in God alone you soar
As if to say in God alone we fly.
Valley's deep and the mountain's so high
If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side
You stand up there with your head in the clouds
Don't try to fly you know you might not come down
Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down

Love Is Like A Violin
Love was like a violin playing soft and low
In your heart you held the strings, in my heart the bow
Together we made soft sweet music, together we believed
In every day in every hour our love was everything
Love was like a summer breeze, after pouring rain
Blowing all the clouds away, bringing sun again
Together we made soft sweet music, together we believed
In every day in every hour our love was everything
First dance you were mine, first dance we made it
Last dance, last chance, you know I know you were wrong
You know you were wrong, you know for every feeling there's a song
You were like a mountain stream, flowing fast and free
You were like the autumn leaves blowing from my tree
Together we made soft sweet music, together we believed
In every day in every hour our love was everything
After all the leaves had gone, you were winter snow
You were so cold and far away, I had to let you go
Together we made soft sweet music, together we believed
In every day in every hour our love was everything
In your heart you held the strings, in my heart the bow
Together we made soft sweet music, together we believed
In every day in every hour our love was everything
Love was like a summer breeze, after pouring rain
Blowing all the clouds away, bringing sun again
Together we made soft sweet music, together we believed
In every day in every hour our love was everything
First dance you were mine, first dance we made it
Last dance, last chance, you know I know you were wrong
You know you were wrong, you know for every feeling there's a song
You were like a mountain stream, flowing fast and free
You were like the autumn leaves blowing from my tree
Together we made soft sweet music, together we believed
In every day in every hour our love was everything
After all the leaves had gone, you were winter snow
You were so cold and far away, I had to let you go
Together we made soft sweet music, together we believed
In every day in every hour our love was everything

Friend Of Mine
When the lights are fading slowly on another show
And the crowd has gone, the people cease to shout for more
You'd better run, stop from crying all the time
Don't you know it's got to end, I thought you were a friend of mine
Goodbye bright light city heading for the sun
Where the southern girls are pretty and there's two for one
You'd better run, stop from crying all the time
Don't you know it's got to end, I thought you were a friend of mine
And the crowd has gone, the people cease to shout for more
You'd better run, stop from crying all the time
Don't you know it's got to end, I thought you were a friend of mine
Goodbye bright light city heading for the sun
Where the southern girls are pretty and there's two for one
You'd better run, stop from crying all the time
Don't you know it's got to end, I thought you were a friend of mine

Poor Mans Moody Blues
All the nights that I've missed you
All the nights without end
All the times that I've called you
Only needing a friend
Now your eyes shine with beauty
That I missed long ago
Guess the truth is I love you
I can't say any more
'Cause I need you
Yes I want you
Yes I love you
As I look from my window
To the streets where you stand
I am gazing through dark glass
We can't walk hand in hand
Though your friends try to tell me
Though your friends you defend
They keep my heart from your heart
We must be in the end
'Cause I love you
Yes I need you
Yes I love you
All the nights that I've missed you
All the nights without end
All the times that I've called you
Only needing a friend
Now your eyes shine with beauty
That I missed long ago
Guess the truth is I love you
I can't say any more
'Cause I need you
Yes I want you
Yes I love you
All the nights without end
All the times that I've called you
Only needing a friend
Now your eyes shine with beauty
That I missed long ago
Guess the truth is I love you
I can't say any more
'Cause I need you
Yes I want you
Yes I love you
As I look from my window
To the streets where you stand
I am gazing through dark glass
We can't walk hand in hand
Though your friends try to tell me
Though your friends you defend
They keep my heart from your heart
We must be in the end
'Cause I love you
Yes I need you
Yes I love you
All the nights that I've missed you
All the nights without end
All the times that I've called you
Only needing a friend
Now your eyes shine with beauty
That I missed long ago
Guess the truth is I love you
I can't say any more
'Cause I need you
Yes I want you
Yes I love you

Hard Hearted Woman
She's a hard hearted woman
See the way that she's watching you
Victims falling before her
And there's nothing that you can do
Love comes, holding on to us all
Love comes, holding on to us all
See the hard hearted woman
Watch the way that she's dancing now
Eyes are flashing before you
Break her spell, please tell me how
Love comes, holding on to us all
Love comes, holding on to us all
See the way that she's watching you
Victims falling before her
And there's nothing that you can do
Love comes, holding on to us all
Love comes, holding on to us all
See the hard hearted woman
Watch the way that she's dancing now
Eyes are flashing before you
Break her spell, please tell me how
Love comes, holding on to us all
Love comes, holding on to us all

Sea Of Tranquility
We steered our ship to the Sea of all Tranquility
The only sound our voices, as star-struck we fly
Our hopes ever high
That the songs we sing and the words we bring
Should never die
We set our sights on the Sea of all Tranquility
Our pointless flight betraying now fallen we are
(Gods of old now broken and defaced)
Compared to a star
And the final reach to that barren beach
Is much too far
Yesterday our songs of glory shone
A dream of ages every one
We sold our souls for senseless gain
And brought our harvest home in vain
(Above the seven seas is one)
Yesterday our songs of glory shone
A dream of ages every one
We sold our souls for senseless gain
And brought our harvest home in vain
The only sound our voices, as star-struck we fly
Our hopes ever high
That the songs we sing and the words we bring
Should never die
We set our sights on the Sea of all Tranquility
Our pointless flight betraying now fallen we are
(Gods of old now broken and defaced)
Compared to a star
And the final reach to that barren beach
Is much too far
Yesterday our songs of glory shone
A dream of ages every one
We sold our souls for senseless gain
And brought our harvest home in vain
(Above the seven seas is one)
Yesterday our songs of glory shone
A dream of ages every one
We sold our souls for senseless gain
And brought our harvest home in vain

Spirit On The Water
There's a spirit floating on the water
There's a shadow lying down by the shore
Wasn't he there a year before?
A sacrifice for the coat he's wearing
A 'paradise' for the lady
Who dares colour him red upon the shore?
We carry the burden upon our shoulder
We carry their lives in the palm of our hand
Don't you care about the state you're in
Or don't you understand?
See the spirit floating on the water
See the shadow lying down by the shore
Wasn't he there some years before?
We carry the burden upon our shoulder
We carry their lives in the palm of our hand
Don't you care about the state you're in
Or don't you understand?
There's a shadow lying down by the shore
Wasn't he there a year before?
A sacrifice for the coat he's wearing
A 'paradise' for the lady
Who dares colour him red upon the shore?
We carry the burden upon our shoulder
We carry their lives in the palm of our hand
Don't you care about the state you're in
Or don't you understand?
See the spirit floating on the water
See the shadow lying down by the shore
Wasn't he there some years before?
We carry the burden upon our shoulder
We carry their lives in the palm of our hand
Don't you care about the state you're in
Or don't you understand?

Lepers Song
Well I feel like I've come to the end of a long long road
My body's tired and my mind's got no place to go
The end of the line's where I'm at, 'cos there's nothing left to be
Just a burnt out case, God, the leper and me
Well i feel like I've come to the end of a long long day
The victim of a life that I tried to give away
A prisoner of the isles where there's nothing left to be
Just a burnt out case, God, the leper and me
Well I feel like I've come to the end of a long long road
My body's tired and my mind's got no place to go
The end of the line's where I'm at, 'cos there's nothing left to be
Just a burnt out case, God, the leper and me
My body's tired and my mind's got no place to go
The end of the line's where I'm at, 'cos there's nothing left to be
Just a burnt out case, God, the leper and me
Well i feel like I've come to the end of a long long day
The victim of a life that I tried to give away
A prisoner of the isles where there's nothing left to be
Just a burnt out case, God, the leper and me
Well I feel like I've come to the end of a long long road
My body's tired and my mind's got no place to go
The end of the line's where I'm at, 'cos there's nothing left to be
Just a burnt out case, God, the leper and me

Taking Me Higher
Used to be a dreamer
But you know I've found
A better way - you
Thought I was a loser
But you proved me wrong
You're taking me so much higher
You're taking me so much higher
Higher and higher
But you know I've found
A better way - you
Thought I was a loser
But you proved me wrong
You're taking me so much higher
You're taking me so much higher
Higher and higher
