To tired eyes in wishful dreams How colourful the future seems It’s no surprise we fantasise We duck and weave a web of lies this way, that way But you and I are on the run We take our time, We have our fun We look around, the world is new When newly opened up to view Could this be our destiny? You brought out the best in me today Beyond the reach of bitter men Their childhood places beckon them So they organise, they moralise They never get to smile again that way, no way But you and I are living free Up to the point that we can be No time to lose, no need to doubt No rule to rule our pleasures out Could this be our destiny? You brought out the best in me today Ignore self-righteous fools who screw you down and tell you what to do We live by different rules You find the guide you need inside of you Observe the face in every crowd Too cynical to laugh out loud Too worldly wise to realise They hold the keys to Paradise today, well okay But you and I are living free Up to the point that we can be No time to lose, no need to doubt No rule to rule our pleasures out Could this be our destiny? You brought out the best in me today

I was thinking of the bad days I’d had before Then she came through my door Now I remember the day she changed Here she comes and I’m all fingers and thumbs again It’s something I can’t explain But I remember the day she changed That was the day she took the lead, she came to me That was the day she entered my heart She turned me around Tore me apart and finally found that nothing seemed to fit If you see me and you happen to have the time Ask me what’s on my mind Well I remember the day she changed Now she’s gone, and I feel certain I can’t go on Where did it all go wrong? Well I remember the day she changed I remember the day she changed

We are flotsam, we are jetsam On the ocean drifting free See that old wreck in the sunset? Empty silhouette, leave it be This is where we’re meant to be This is where we’re meant to be We are singing, we are swaying We are rolling in the foam We are drifting to an island On that dry land we’ll find home This is where I long to be This is where I long to be Where the flow ends we’ll find old friends All the loved ones we cannot see They are flotsam, they are jetsam On the ocean drifting free This is where they’re meant to be Hold them close and set them free

Now I Know 04:12
A man may travel very far And never notice that his star is on the wane He may keep singing very long And never realise that song’s been rearranged Try as I might I cannot fight This endless night I am resigned It’s what you said it’s what you did And how I wondered what lay hid in your mind And now I know where I must go And now I see why this must be In a place no time or space can ever occupy It doesn’t matter after all If I should fly or I should fall apart and break You see me tumble from the sky I see that I am really falling awake I cannot say, I can’t explain How once again I’m feeling free I realise my heaven lies Deep in the eyes that look at me In a place no time or space can ever occupy And if I’ve been here once before I can’t remember why it was But darling maybe it’s because I pushed upon an open door And nothing seems too much Nothing seems too small There’s really nothing here at all Except the meaning of your touch
