GOT TO
GO BACK
|
|
|
When I was a young boy
|
|
Back in Orangefield (2)
|
|
I used to gaze out
|
|
My classroom window and dream
|
|
And then go home and listen to Ray sing
(3)
|
|
"I believe to my soul" after
school,
|
|
Oh that love that was within me
|
|
You know it carried me through
|
|
Well it lifted me up and it filled me
|
|
Meditation contemplation too
|
|
Chorus:
|
|
Oh we've got to go back
|
|
Got to go back
|
|
Got to go back
|
|
Got to go back
|
|
For the healing go on with the dreaming
|
|
Well there's people in the street
|
|
And the summer's almost here
|
|
We've got to go outside in the fresh air
|
|
And breathe while it's still clear
|
|
Breathe it in all the way down
|
|
To your stomach too
|
|
And breathe it out with a radiance (4)
|
|
into the nightime air
|
|
We've got to go back ...
|
|
Got my ticket at the airport
|
|
Well I guess I've been marking time
|
|
I've been living in another country (5)
|
|
That operates along entirely different
lines
|
|
Keep me away from porter or whiskey (6)
|
|
Don't play anything sentimental it'll make
me cry
|
|
I've got to go back my friend
|
|
Is there really any need to ask why
|
|
We've got to go back ...
|
|
|
|
OH THE
WARM FEELING
|
|
|
|
Oh the warm feeling
|
|
As we sat beside the sea
|
|
Oh the warm feeling as I sat by you
|
|
Like a child within the kingdom
|
|
As we sat beside the sea
|
|
Oh the warm feeling as I sat by you
|
|
And it filled with devotion
|
|
And it made me plainly see
|
|
And it healed all my emotions
|
|
As I sat by you
|
|
As we sat inside the sunshine
|
|
And we sat beside the sea
|
|
Oh the warm feeling, as I sat by you
|
|
And it filled me with religion
|
|
And it gave great comfort to me
|
|
Oh the warm feeling as I sat by you
|
|
Oh the warm feeling as we sat beside the
sea
|
|
Oh the warm feeling as I sat by you.
|

|
FOREIGN
WINDOW
|
|
|
|
I saw you from a foreign window
|
|
Bearing down the sufferin' road
|
|
You were carryin' your burden
|
|
To the palace of the Lord
|
|
To the palace of the Lord
|
|
I spied you from a foreign window
|
|
When the lilacs were in bloom
|
|
And the sun shone through your window pane
|
|
To the place you kept your books
|
|
You were reading on your sofa
|
|
You were singin' every prayer
|
|
That the masters had instilled in you
|
|
Since Lord Byron loved despair (7)
|
|
In the palace of the Lord
|
|
In the palace of the Lord
|
|
Bridge:
|
|
And if you get it right this time
|
|
You don't have to come back again
|
|
And if you get it right this time
|
|
There's no need to explain
|
|
I saw you from a foreign (window)
|
|
Bearing down the sufferin' road
|
|
You were carryin' your burden
|
|
You were singing about Rimbaud (8)
|
|
I was going down to Geneva
|
|
When the Kingdom had been found
|
|
I was giving you protection
|
|
From the loneliness of the crowd
|
|
In the palace of the Lord
|
|
In the palace of the Lord
|
|
They were giving you religion
|
|
Breaking bread and drinking wine
|
|
And you laid out on the green hills
|
|
Just like when you were a child
|
|
I saw you from a foreign window
|
|
You were trying to find your way back home
|
|
You were carrying your defects
|
|
Sleeping on a pallet on the floor
|
|
In the palace of the Lord
|
|
In the palace of the Lord
|
|
In the palace of the Lord
|
|
|
|
A TOWN
CALLED PARADISE
|
|
|
|
Copycats ripped off my words
|
|
Copycats ripped off my songs
|
|
Copycats ripped off my melody
|
|
It doesn't matter what they say
|
|
It doesn't matter what they do
|
|
All that matters is my relationship to you
|
|
Gonna take you out
|
|
Get you in my car
|
|
We're going for a long long drive
|
|
We're going down to A Town Called Paradise
(9)(10)
|
|
Down where we can be free
|
|
We're gonna drink that wine
|
|
We're gonna jump for joy
|
|
In a town called Paradise
|
|
We're going up the mountainside
|
|
Child you can look for miles
|
|
And see the vision on the west
|
|
We're gonna swing round
|
|
And look from north to south
|
|
Swing round from east to west
|
|
And go round in a circle too
|
|
And we're gonna start dancing
|
|
Like we've never done before
|
|
I'm gonna take you in my arms
|
|
I'm gonna squeeze you tight
|
|
Everything will be alright
|
|
We're gonna get that squealin' feelin'
|
|
Gonna take you down to a town called Paradise,
|
|
Down where we can be free
|
|
It doesn't matter what they say
|
|
It doesn't matter what they do
|
|
All that matters is my relationship to you
|
|
By the river we will linger
|
|
As we drive down to be free
|
|
We're gonna ride all night long
|
|
All along the ancient highway
|
|
Gonna be there for the mornin' comes
|
|
|
|
|
|
IN THE
GARDEN
|
|
|
|
|
|
The streets are always wet with rain
|
|
After a summer shower when I saw you
standin'
|
|
In the garden in the garden wet with rain
|
|
You wiped the teardrops from your eye in
sorrow
|
|
As we watched the petals fall down to the
ground
|
|
And as I sat beside you I felt the
|
|
Great sadness that day in the garden
|
|
And then one day you came back home
|
|
You were a creature all in rapture
|
|
You had the key to your soul
|
|
And you did open that day you came back to
the garden
|
|
The olden summer breeze was blowin' on
your face
|
|
The light of God was shinin' on your
countenance divine
|
|
And you were a violet colour as you
|
|
Sat beside your father and your mother in
the garden
|
|
The summer breeze was blowin' on your face
|
|
Within your violet you treasure your
summery words
|
|
And as the shiver from my neck down to my
spine
|
|
Ignited me in daylight and nature in the
garden
|
|
And you went into a trance
|
|
Your childlike vision became so fine
|
|
And we heard the bells inside the church
|
|
We loved so much
|
|
And felt the presence of the youth of
|
|
Eternal summers in the garden
|
|
And as it touched your cheeks so lightly
|
|
Born again you were and blushed and we
touched each other lightly
|
|
And we felt the presence of the Christ
|
|
And I turned to you and I said
|
|
No Guru, no method, no teacher
|
|
Just you and I and nature
|
|
And the father in the garden
|
|
No Guru, no method, no teacher
|
|
Just you and I and nature
|
|
And the Father and the
|
|
Son and the Holy Ghost
|
|
In the garden wet with rain
|
|
No Guru, no method, no teacher
|
|
Just you and I and nature and the holy
ghost
|
|
In the garden, in the garden, wet with
rain
|
|
No Guru, no method, no teacher
|
|
Just you and I and nature
|
|
And the Father in the garden
|
|
|
|
|
|
TIR NA
NOG
|
|
|
|
|
|
We were standing in the kingdom
|
|
And by the mansion gate
|
|
We stood enraptured by the silence
|
|
As the birds sang their heavenly song
|
|
In Tir Na Nog
|
|
We stopped in the church of Ireland
|
|
And prayed to our father
|
|
And climbed up the mountainside
|
|
With fire in our hearts
|
|
And we walked all the way to Tir Na Nog
(12)
|
|
I said with my eyes that
|
|
I recognized your chin (13)
|
|
It was my long lost friend
|
|
To help me from another lifetime
|
|
We took each others hands and cried
|
|
Like a river when we said hello
|
|
And we walked to Tir Na Nog
|
|
We made a big connection
|
|
On a golden autumn day
|
|
We were standing in the garden wet with
rain (14)
|
|
And our souls were young again (15)
|
|
In Tir Na Nog
|
|
And outside the storm was raging
|
|
Outside Jerusalem (16)
|
|
We drove in our chariots of fire
|
|
Following the big sun in the west
|
|
Going up, going up, to
|
|
Tir Na Nog
|
|
You came into my life
|
|
And you filled me and you filled me
|
|
Oh so joyous
|
|
By the clear cool crystal streams
|
|
Where the roads were quiet and still
|
|
And we walked all the way
|
|
To Tir Na Nog
|
|
How can we not be attached
|
|
After all we're only human
|
|
The only way then is to never come back
|
|
Except I wouldn't want that would you
|
|
If we weren't together again
|
|
In Tir Na Nog
|
|
We've been together before
|
|
In a different incarnation (17)
|
|
And we loved each other then as well
|
|
And we sat down in contemplation (18)
|
|
Many many many times you kissed mine eyes
|
|
In Tir Na Nog
|
|
|
|
HERE
COMES THE KNIGHT
|
|
|
|
On the road with my sword
|
|
And my shield in my hand
|
|
Pressing on to the new day
|
|
This love will surely last forever
|
|
This love will surely last always
|
|
In the valley I see horsemen pass
|
|
Baby, baby, baby they don't want this love
to last
|
|
There's a battle for the throne
|
|
And it's raging down in your soul
|
|
It says this love will surely last forever
|
|
This love will surely last always
|
|
Bridge:
|
|
I've been accused of truth and alchemy
|
|
I've been accused of speaking out for
freedom too
|
|
I gave a demonstration in front of a crowd
|
|
A man saw my hands move and he began to
shout
|
|
Here come horsemen through the pass
|
|
They say cast a cold eye on life, on death
(19)
|
|
There's a battle for the throne
|
|
And it means to thine own self be true
|
|
And it says this love will surely last
forever
|
|
This love will surely last always
|
|
|

Bridge:

I can tell by the light in your eye
|
|
That you're so far away
|
|
Like a ship out on the sea
|
|
Without a sail, you've gone astray
|
|
Tell me the facts real straight
|
|
Don't make me over
|

Make it come out alright

IVORY
TOWER
|
|
|
|
Chorus:
|
|
When you come down
|
|
From your Ivory Tower
|
|
You will see how it really must be
|
|
To be like me to see like me
|
|
To feel like me
|
|
Take a look at me I'm a poor man's son
|
|
I never did no harm to no one
|
|
You've got money in the bank
|
|
And I don't have none
|
|
When you come down ...
|
|
Bridge:
|
|
You can see through
|
|
Your rose coloured glasses
|
|
In a world that seems
|
|
like glamour to you
|
|
You've got opinions and judgements about
|
|
All kind of things
|
|
That you don't know anything about
|
|
Don't you know the price that I have to
pay
|
|
Just to do everything I have to do
|
|
Do you think that there's nothing to it
|
|
You should try it sometime
|
|
When you come down ...
|
|
|
