Pariah

Recommended Posts

Some people say a man is made outta' mud
A poor man's made outta' muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number 9 coal
And the store boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't a-get you, then the left one will

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store.

Where can you find pleasure

Search the world for treasure

Learn science technology

Where can you begin to make your dreams all come true

On the land or on the sea

Where can you learn to fly

Play in sports and skin dive

Study oceanography

Sign up for the big band

Or sit in the grandstand

When your team and others meet

 

In the navy

Yes, you can sail the seven seas

In the navy

Yes, you can put your mind at ease

In the navy

Come on now, people, make a stand

In the navy, in the navy

Can't you see we need a hand

In the navy

Come on, protect the mother land

In the navy

Come on and join your fellow man

In the navy

Come on people, and make a stand

In the navy, in the navy, in the navy (in the navy)

 

They want you, they want you

They want you as a new recruit

 

If you like adventure

Don't you wait to enter

The recruiting office fast

Don't you hesitate

There is no need to wait

They're signing up new seamen fast

Maybe you are too young

To join up today

Bout don't you worry 'bout a thing

For I'm sure there will be

Always a good navy

Protecting the land and sea

 

In the navy

Yes, you can sail the seven seas

In the navy

Yes, you can put your mind at ease

In the navy

Come on be bold and make a stand

In the navy, in the navy

Can't you see we need a hand

In the navy

Come on, protect the motherland

In the navy

Come on and join your fellow man

In the navy

Come on be bold and make a stand

In the navy, in the navy, in the navy (in the navy)

 

They want you, they want you

They want you as a new recruit

 

Who me ?

 

They want you, they want you

They want you as a new recruit

 

But, but, but, I'm afraid of water.

Hey, hey look

Man, I get seasick even watchin' it on the TV !

 

They want you, they want you in the navy

 

Oh my goodness.

What am I gonna do in a submarine ?

 

They want you, they want you in the navy

 

In the navy

Yes, you can sail the seven seas

In the navy

Yes, you can put your mind at ease

In the navy

Come on be bold and make a stand

In the navy, in the navy

Can't you see we need a hand

In the navy

Come protect the motherland

In the navy

Come on and join your fellow man

In the navy

Come on be bold and make a stand

Falling in your, falling in your in your arms

Fish on a line, learns to live on dry land

Thrown back again to drown

 

Kinder with poison

Then pushed down the well or a face burnt to hell

Feel the cruel stones breaking her bones

Dead before born

Words fall in ruins -- but no sound

She's dying of your shame -- she's maimed by your pain

He gives birth to swimming horses

 

Fish on a line, walking on dry land

But back in the water to drown -- we drown

Floating in sky

He gives birth to swimming horses

 

Take a ride on the tide with the assassin at your side

the weightlessness under water -- forgets in slow motion

And watches pointless tortures

He gives birth to swimming horses

Floating in sky like fishes can fly through your arms

Watching the people get lairy

Is not very pretty I tell thee

Walking through town is quite scary

And not very sensible either

A friend of a friend he got beaten

He looked the wrong way at a policeman

Would never have happened to Smeaton

And old Leodiensian

 

I predict a riot, I predict a riot

I predict a riot, I predict a riot

 

I tried to get in my taxi

A man in a tracksuit attacked me

He said that he saw it before me

Wants to get things a bit gory

Girls run around with no clothes on

To borrow a pound for a condom

If it wasn't for chip fat, well they'd be frozen

They're not very sensible

 

I predict a riot, I predict a riot

I predict a riot, I predict a riot

 

And if there's anybody left in here

That doesn't want to be out there

 

Watching the people get lairy

Is not very pretty I tell thee

Walking through town is quite scary

And not very sensible

 

I predict a riot, I predict a riot

I predict a riot, I predict a riot

 

And if there's anybody left in here

That doesn't want to be out there

 

I predict a riot, I predict a riot

I predict a riot, I predict a riot

The story is told of a crack in the door

Just by the skin of our teeth

If we get through it, why did we do it?

 

The natural tendencies all runnin' free

Boundaries lost in the dust

All of our making, the things we are breaking

 

You reach for it all when you need it

A warning if any would heed it

They've always been there for the taking

Anyone notice, the things we are breaking?

 

Our habits are old and they don't want to die

Chiseled in stone they remain, never abating

These things we are hating

 

Monuments stand til the moment they fall

And sooner or later they do

Evaporating, and never creating

 

They take what they need when they want it

Proud of their prize they will flaunt it

It's always been there for the taking

Anyone notice, the things we are breaking?

No one in the world
Ever had a love as sweet as my love
For nowhere in the world
Could there be a boy as true as you love

All my love
I give gladly to you
All your love
You give gladly to me
Tell me why then
Oh why should it be that

We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why

Closer than the leaves
On a weepin' willow baby we are
Closer dear are we
Than the simple letters "A" and "B" are

All my life
I could love only you
All your life
You could love only me
Tell me why than
Oh why should it be that

We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why

Can't we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each other's heart
Tearing each other apart

It's there in the beginning, and it gets him in the end

He thinks he's got the number, but it's coming round the bend

The chances are remotely, the chances are so slim

It's one in every million, the odds are looking dim

 

He walks an empty highway, a road not on the map

He's got no destination, they all ended in a trap

The future's looking dismal, the days are looking grim

It's one chance in a million, and even less for him

 

Just another one wasted, and tomorrow will be the same

No one notices anything, and nobody speaks his name

Autopilot's engaging, and the dog knows his way back home

 

Same as it always is

Is what it always was

Was more once more

 

He wonders on the sidewalk, he daydreams in the street

He can't keep it together, no rhythm to his beat

The morning turns to evening, the evening into night

The darkness feels so empty, with no relief in sight

 

His house is in a muddle, his clothes in disarray

The phone calls go unanswered, telemarketers today

It's there in the beginning, and it gets him in the end

He thinks he's got the number, something's coming round the bend

 

He remembers a difference, on a day with a brighter dawn

He remembers a meaning, on a night when the light was on

Homing beacon engaging, as he's finding his way back home

 

Same as it always is

Is what it always was

Was more once more

Take me now, baby, here as I am
Hold me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed

Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand, as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

Have I doubt, baby, when I'm alone
Love is a ring on the telephone
Love is an angel, disguised as lust
Here in our bed 'til the morning comes

Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand, as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

With love we sleep, with doubt the vicious circle turns, and burns
Without you, I cannot live, forgive the yearning burning
I believe in love too real to feel, take me now, take me now, take me now

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Saying anybody saving face belongs to her

He was a fugitive with a pseudo name

Lost his mind in a hurricane

Coconut upside his head

People said he'd be better dead

'cause his glory days are gone

Sits on the shore with his saxophone

And plays

 

In another place, in another time

He was a soldier in his prime

On the battlefield, makin' history

Young men died for his destiny

And their widows came each day

'til he was forced to run away

From home

 

So he bought a town, but he sold the sea

Claimed a shallow victory

On an iron ship, with a wooden crew

They hit the reef when the moon was new

Now he cries himself to sleep

On a beach made of promises he meant to keep

Long ago

 

Nobody speaks to the captain no more

Nobody talks about the war

Hey what the hell were we fighting for

Such a long, long time ago

 

And now the monkeys and the iguanas

They listen to his song

Most uncaptive audience

He plays to all night long

 

So the story goes, he was dressed to kill

When he jumped from the old mahogany mill

And the jungle beasts, they were heard to wail

As the saxophone still played the scale

For a man we never knew who looked like me and you

Long ago

 

Nobody speaks to the captain no more

No one is interested in settling old scores

Hey what they hell were we fighting for

Such a long, long time ago

 

Nobody speaks to the captain no more

No one is interested in settling old scores

Hey what they hell were we fighting for

Such a long, long time ago

My momma talkin' to me tryin' to tell me how to live

But I don't listen to her 'cause my head is like a sieve

My daddy, he disowned me 'cause I wear my sister's clothes

He caught me in the bathroom with a pair of pantyhose

 

My basketball coach, he done kicked me off the team

For wearin' high-heel sneakers and actin' like a queen

 

------ lead guitar ------

 

The world's comin' to an end, I don't even care

As long as I can have a limo and my orange hair

And it don't bother me if people think I'm "funny"

'Cause I'm a big rock star and I'm makin' lots of money

Money, money, money, money, money, money

Ahhh! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...

 

I'm so bloody rich! Ha ha ha ha

I own apartment buildings and shopping centers! Ha ha ha ha

And I only know three chords! Ha ha ha ha

We had our last supper the day of the beaching

She's a dead ship sailing - skeleton crew

The galley is empty; the stove pots are cooling

With what's left of the stew

 

Her time is approaching - the captain moves over

The hangman steps in to do what he's paid for

With the wind down the tide she goes proud ahead steaming

And he drives her hard into the shore

 

So far from the Clyde

Together we'd ride

We did ride

 

As if to a wave from her bows to her rudder

Bravely she rises to meet with the land

Under their feet they all feel her keel shudder

The shallow see washes their hands

 

Later the captain shakes hands with the hangman

And climbs slowly down to the oily wet ground

Goes down to the car that has come here to take him

To the graveyard and back to the town

 

So far from the Clyde

Together we'd ride

We did ride

 

They pull out her cables and hack off her hatches

Too poor to be wasteful with pity or time

They swarm on her carcass with torches and axes

Like a whale on the bloody shoreline

 

Stripped of her pillars her stays and her stantions

When there's only her bones on the wet, poison land

Steel ropes will drag her with winches and engines

'til there's only a stain on the sand

 

So far from the Clyde

Together we'd ride

We did ride

 

So far from the Clyde

Together we'd ride

We did ride

You who have dreams

If you act, they will come true 

To turn your dream to a fact

It's up to you

If you have the soul and the spirit

Never fear it, you'll see it through.

Hearts can inspire other hearts with their fire.

For the strong obey when a strong man shows them the way.

 

Give me some men who are stout-hearted men

Who will fight for the right they adore.

Start me with ten who are stout-hearted men,

And I'll soon give you ten thousand more.

Oh, shoulder to shoulder, and bolder and bolder

They grow as they go to the fore.

Then there's nothing in the world can halt or mar a plan

When stout-hearted men can stick together man to man.

What planet is this? 

Let there be rock 'n' roll

 

It's a Saturday night and I'm home alone 

With the music on quiet I'm flying solo 

Then my feet start moving to the sound of the beat 

Put the music up loud hear it in the street 

Then the neighbours start banging on my front door 

Throw the door wide open saying what's your point 

Come on in let's rock this joint

 

We got the whole house rocking 

We got the whole house rocking 

We got the whole house rocking 

We got the whole house rocking 

We got the whole house rocking 

To the mighty power of rock 'n' roll

 

We dance out of the door, dance into the street 

And all the people are swaying to the musical beat 

We rock down the road and down to the town 

And all the people stare and smile and get down 

Then the police man is saying "stop this noise"

But the beat takes over now he's one of the boys 

The beat's taken over now he's one of the boys

Come on down let's rock this town

 

We got the whole town rocking 

We got the whole town rocking 

We got the whole town rocking 

We got the whole town rocking 

We got the whole town rocking 

To the mighty power of rock 'n' roll

 

Let's go 

Let it roll 

Are you ready? 

Said are you ready? 

The Cosmos Rocks

 

Across seven seas through the Panama, 

Now they're rockin' on beaches and they're rockin' in bars 

Don't ask me how and don't ask me why 

From Miami Beach down to old Bondi 

There's a rock 'n' roll fever in every place 

Next thing you know they'll be rockin' out in space

Come on down let's rock this place 

Come on down and 

Sock it to me

 

We got the whole world rocking 

We got the whole world rocking 

We got the whole world rocking 

We got the whole world rocking 

We got the whole world rocking 

To the mighty mighty mighty power

 

We got the cosmos rocking 

We got the cosmos rocking 

We got the universe rocking 

We got the cosmos rocking 

We got the cosmos rocking 

To the mighty power of rock 'n' roll

Empty spaces, what are we living for

Abandoned places, I guess we know the score

On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for

 

Another hero, another mindless crime

Behind the curtain, in the pantomime

Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore

 

The show must go on

The show must go on, yeah

Inside my heart is breaking

My make-up may be flaking

But my smile still stays on

 

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance

Another heartache, another failed romance

On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?

 

I guess I'm learning, I must be warmer now

I'll soon be turning 'round the corner now

Outside the dawn is breaking

But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free

 

The show must go on

The show must go on, yeah yeah

Ooh, inside my heart is breaking

My make-up may be flaking

But my smile still stays on

 

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies

Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die

I can fly, my friends

 

The show must go on

The show must go on

I'll face it with a grin

I'm never giving in

On, with the show

 

Ooh, I'll top the bill, I'll overkill

I have to find the will to carry on

On with the show

On with the show

The show must go on

You turn me on, you lift me up

And like the sweetest cup I'd share with you

You lift me up, don't you ever stop, I'm here with you

Now it's all or nothing

'Cause you say you'll follow through

You follow me, and I, I, I follow you

 

What you gonna do when things go wrong ?

What you gonna do when it all cracks up ?

What you gonna do when the Love burns down ?

What you gonna do when the flames go up ?

Who is gonna come and turn the tide ?

What's it gonna take to make a dream survive ?

Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside ?

Who's gonna save you ?

Alive and Kicking

Stay until your love is, Alive and Kicking

Stay until your love is, until your love is, Alive

 

Oh you lift me up to the crucial top, so I can see

Oh you lead me on, till the feelings come

And the lights that shine on

But if that don't mean nothing

Like if someday it should fall through

You'll take me home where the magic's from

And I'll be with you

 

What you gonna do when things go wrong ?

What you gonna do when it all cracks up ?

What you gonna do when the Love burns down ?

What you gonna do when the flames go up ?

Who is gonna come and turn the tide ?

What's it gonna take to make a dream survive ?

Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside ?

Don't say goodbye

Don't say goodbye

In the final seconds who's gonna save you ?

 

Oh, Alive and Kicking

Stay until your love is, love is, Alive and Kicking

Oh, Alive and Kicking

Stay until your love is, love is, Alive and Kicking

Do you know where you're going to?

Do you like the things that life is showing you?

Where are you going to?

Do you know?

Do you get what you're hoping for?

When you look behind you there's no open door

What are you hoping for?

Do you know?

 

Once we were standing still in time

Chasing the fantasies that filled our minds

You knew how I loved you, but my spirit was free

Laughing at the questions that you once asked of me

 

Do you know where you're going to?

Do you like the things that life is showing you?

Where are you going to?

Do you know?

 

Now looking back at all we've had

We let so many dreams just slip through our hands

Why must we wait so long before we see

How sad the answers to those questions can be?

 

Do you know where you're going to?

Do you like the things that life is showing you?

Where are you going to?

Do you know?

Do you get what you're hoping for?

When you look behind you there's no open door

What are you hoping for?

Do you know?

Cheap smoke 
Rising like a spirit in the 
Soft glow of a New York street 
No glamour or garb can hide 
The animal heart inside of me 

Lost faith 
Martyrs with an axe to grind 
Old hatreds tired & tamed 
Chasing the faintest trail 
Solemn companion pale 
Protects me from my name 

Cold reflections they tell no lies 
But eyes just scratch the surface... 

Don’t shake me 
Don’t make me bear my teeth 
You really don’t wanna meet that guy 
Don’t wake me 
Don’t let it off the leash 
There’s a monster livin’ under this hide 

Well it’s a dog’s life 
Holdin’ onto beauty while the 
Bleak nights are makin’ beasts of men 
The fairytale days are dead 
So try not to lose your head 
When the scent is calling again 

Cold reflections they tell no lies 
But eyes just scratch the surface... 

Don’t shake me 
Don’t make me bear my teeth 
You really don’t wanna meet that guy 
Don’t wake me 
Don’t let it off the leash 
There’s a monster livin’ under this hide 

Who’s evading the skin-clad wolf? 
I hope the spoils were worth it... 
Who’s evading the skin-clad wolf? 
The eyes just scratch the surface... 

Don’t shake me 
Don’t make me bear my teeth 
You really don’t wanna meet that guy 
Don’t wake me 
Don’t let it off the leash 
There’s a monster livin’ under this hide

I thought love was only true in fairytales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love, I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

I thought love was more or less a givin' thing
Seems the more I gave the less I got
What's the use in trying?
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine I got rain

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love, I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

Love was out to get me
Now that's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

Oh then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love, I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

Yes I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
Said I'm a believer, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I'm a believer)
Said I'm a believer, yeah
(I'm a believer)
Said I'm a believer, yeah
(I'm a believer)

Persephone

I will keep this brooding brief

For it is fate and not just my belief

That keeps you coming back to me

 

Persephone

I will smolder in this grief

for Time is very fine a thief

but he cannot steal from destiny

 

I will stand and I will fight

With all my might 

here on the line between

the darkness and the light

til at last I have thee in my custody

 

Persephone

 

Persephone

Return the symphony to this drone

the rainbow to the monochrome

and love 

to the damned

what we might be 

to what I am 

 

Persephone

 

I will stand and I will fight 

with all my might 

here on the line between

the Darkness and the Light

Til at last I have thee in my custody

 

Persephone

 

And should the mortals dare design

to keep you ever theirs and never mine

should they in the name of liberty

enslave you to their needs

your ransom has been paid 

with seven pomegranate seeds

 

Persephone

 

Persephone

 

Persephone

The guy who put his hands on you
Has got nothing to do with me
And the bruises that you feel will heal
And I hope you'll come around
'Cause we're missing you

You used to speak so easy
Now you're afraid to talk to me
It's like walking with the wounded
Carrying that weight way too far
Concrete pulled you down so hard
Out there with the wounded
We're missing you

Well, I never claimed to understand
What happens after dark
But my fingers catch the sparks
At the thought of touching you
When you're wounded

Well, let me break it down 'til I force the issue
We miss your face, you know I wish you
Would come back down to the Dalva bar
You tell them, "That's just my battle scar."
I wanna kiss you
And knock 'em down like we used to
You're the marigold
'Til you're walking down, shaking that ass again
And then you walk on, baby, walk on, you walk on
On and on

You're an angel in the pit with her hands in the air
And we're missing you

Now it's fall and your shoulders get tighter
Nervous flicks on your lighter, boots
Your pissed-off poets, your women's groups
And the friends with you, we should have known this fool
Well, I guess we missed the mark
Still, my fingers catch the sparks
At the thought of them touching you
Now you're wounded

Let me break it down 'til I force the issue
You never come around and you know we miss you
Well, nobody took your pride away
I said, "That's something people say."
Back down the bully to the back of the bus
'Cause it's time for them to be scared of us
'Til you're yelling, "How we living, 'cause you got the ball!"
Then you rock on, baby, rock on, you rock on
On and on
You're a summertime hottie with your socks in the air
You're screamin', "I don't care, baby! I don't care! NO!"

You say you don't know
You say you don't know (You're the marigold)
All I know is we're missing you, you

You say you don't know
You say you don't know (You're the marigold)
All I know is we're missing you, you

Showed up, showed up wounded
Showed up, showed up wounded

My, my the clock in the sky is pounding away

There's so much to say

A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice

And it cannot rejoice

 

Wanting to be, to hear and to see

Crying to the sky

 

But the porpoise is laughing good-bye, good-bye

Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

 

Clicks, clacks

Riding the backs of giraffes for laughs is alright for a while

The ego sings of castles and kings and things

That go with a life of style

 

Wanting to feel, to know what is real

Living is a lie

 

But the porpoise is waiting good-bye, good-bye

Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

So long and thanks for all the fish

So sad that it should come to this

We tried to warn you all but oh dear

 

You may not share our intellect

Which might explain your disrespect

For all the natural wonders that grow around you

 

So long, so long and thanks for all the fish

 

The world's about to be destroyed

There's no point getting all annoyed

Lie back and let the planet dissolve(around you)

 

Despite those nets of tuna fleets

We thought that most of you were sweet

Especially tiny tots and your pregnant women

 

So long, so long, so long, so long, so long

So long, so long, so long, so long, so long

So long, so long and thanks for all the fish

 

If I had just one last wish

I would like a tasty fish

If we could just change one thing

We would all have learned to sing.

Come one and all

Man and Mammal

Side by Side in life's great gene pool

 

So long, so long, so long, so long, so long

So long, so long, so long, so long, so long

So long, so long and, thanks for all the fish!

A day of uncertain weather

Captured in a frame forever

A face in a faded photograph

 

He must have had a life

Maybe with a family

People who meant everything to him

 

A sinner, a saint, a soldier

Caught up in a war he never

Had a chance to start or build a life

 

All gone long ago

Leaving no trace

Disappearing like smoke in the wind

To become just a face without a name

Leaving no trace

Disappearing like smoke in the wind

 

Hopes and fears important plans

Forgotten memories

Footsteps fading in the sand, ooh

Schemes and dreams small and grand

Nothing left to see

Footsteps fading in the sand, ooh

 

Someone who cast a shadow

Maybe just a lazy man

Doesn't make much difference now it's true

 

A day of uncertain weather

Captured in a frame forever

A face in a faded photograph

 

All gone long ago

Leaving no trace

Disappearing like smoke in the wind

To become just a face without a name

One more to add to the total

Of those never heard of again

 

Yes he's gone

Just a face without a name

Leaving no trace

Disappearing like smoke in the wind

All gone

Just a face without a name

Leaving no trace

Disappearing like smoke in the wind

No wind when I took the watch
My ship was still and waitin'
I lay on that mirrored sky
A restless sail or waitin'
I closed my eyes said the
Words of will for the gentle
Breathin' that moves the seas
Make my sails fill

Whisper waves cloud the glass
Awake at last like a lover
It rushed around the talkin' sweet
Roll over, roll over, roll over
And in my ear he blew his name
It sound so strange but I heard it plain
Mistral Mistral wind

I have always held the wheel but
I let the wind steal my power
Spin me 'round lose my course
Nights run be like hours
Well, it would show me the way
To the deepest mountains
Too high and beautiful to be
Mistral, mistral wind

All the hours on the watch
I wait for that breeze to move me
And blow me back to that place
Magic space all through me
And I sigh your name
Across the empty water
You made a crazy dreamer out of me
Mistral, mistral, mistral, mistral,
Mistral, mistral
