O Leon, o Leon, o Leon, Wellahiya

O Leon, o Leon, o Leon, Wellahiya

Out on the water I can hear them call

I feel the rhythm inside of me

This is the moment I've been waiting for

When I'm hearing the drums in the night

When I'm seeing the river of light

Hey, hey, hey, out on the water it's another world

I feel the power inside of me

The flame is here and now it has to burn

You can live but you cannot survive

And it's something you cannot deny

To the waiting heart, (this waiting heart)

To the waiting heart, oh, oh, oh

Holding on, holding on, holding on, Wellahiya

Holding on, holding on, holding on, Wellahiya

And maybe tonight, tonight I'll go

I'll go down to the river where my love will be

This time, this time I know

She will lay down beside me, 'cause everything comes

To the waiting heart, (this waiting heart)

To the waiting heart, (this waiting heart), hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, out on the water I can hear them call

I feel the rhythm inside of me

This is the moment I've been waiting for

It is here, now I'm breaking away

And it's fortune that favors the brave and the waiting heart

Oh, the waiting heart

(This waiting heart), oh, the waiting heart

(This waiting heart), yeah, the waiting heart

(This waiting heart) oh, this waiting heart

Mamana Mamana Mamana,

This waiting heart

Mamana Mamana Mamana Mamana Mamana

,just waiting heart

Out on the water I can hear them call

Holding on, holding on)

Out on the water I can hear them call

(Holding on, holdingnon...)

It was late at night on the open road

Speeding like a man on the run

A lifetime spent preparing for the journey

He is closer now and the search is on

Reading from a map in the mind

Yes there's the ragged hill

And there's the boat on the river

And when the rain came down

He heard a wild dog howl

There were voices in the night, ("Don't do it")

Voices out of sight, ("Don't do it")

Too many men have failed before

Whatever you do Don't pay the ferryman Don't even fix a price Don't pay the ferryman Until he gets you to the other side

In the rolling mist then he gets on board

Now there'll be no turning back

Beware that hooded old man at the rudder

And then the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared

And people calling out his name

And dancing bones that jabbered and a-moaned

On the water

And then the ferryman said

There is trouble ahead So you must pay me now, (""Don't do it"")

You must pay me now, ("Don't do it")

And still that voice came from beyond

Whatever you do Don't pay the ferryman Don't even fix a price Don't pay the ferryman Until he gets you to the other side

Yeah!

Don't pay the ferryman

Don't even fix a price

Don't pay the ferryman

Until he gets you to the other side

Don't pay the ferryman

Don't even fix a price

Don't pay the ferryman

Until he gets you to the other side

Don't pay the ferryman

Don't even fix a price

Don't pay the ferryman

Until he gets you to the other side

Don't pay the ferryman

Sometimes the man in me gets restless

I need to get away from you

And spend some time with someone that I knew

Just to see her for a night,

And in the candle light

To talk, and remember holidays

Sometimes the woman in you is uneasy

I can see it in your eyes

Just like me you need to know,

Can you still fly?

Can you still arouse the passions of another man?

And if you carry it through, what would I do?

It would take much more than this to break a love song love in the making

It would take much more than talk or dreams to shake our strong foundation

More than this

Sometimes the man in me gets lonely

When I am away from you

And in the darkness of another hotel room

If there's someone in the night saying, "it's gonna be alright"

To ease away the pain of missing you

What can I do?

It would take much more than this to break our love song long in the making

It would take much more than talk or dreams to shake our strong foundation

More than this

Waiting at the water's edge

Watching all the ships

As they are heading for the harbor wall

I was just a boy, I was just a boy

Dreaming of the wide world

Dreaming of the wide world

Watching as they disappear

Reading out the names

Of all the places I have never been

Looking out to sea, staring out to sea

Dreaming of a wide world

Dreaming of the wide world, uu

I wish I was sailing away, sailing away

Sailing away, with you tonight, with you tonight

Walking down another street

Underneath the red lights

I am watching where the shadows fall

Looking at the girls, listening to the girls

Dreaming of a new world,

Dreaming of that new world, uu

I wish I was sailing away, sailing away

Sailing away, in your arms tonight

In your arms tonight

I wish I was sailing away, sailing away

Sailing away, with you now, with you now

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight,

I've never seen you shine so bright,

I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance,

They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance,

And I have never seen that dress you're wearing,

Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes,

I have been blind;

The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,

There's nobody here, it's just you and me,

It's where I want to be,

But I hardly know this beauty by my side,

I'll never forget the way you look tonight;

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight,

I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing,

I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side,

And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away,

And I have never had such a feeling,

Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight;

The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,

There's nobody here, it's just you and me,

It's where I want to be,

But I hardly know this beauty by my side,

I'll never forget the way you look tonight;

I never will forget the way you look tonight...

The lady in red, the lady in red,

The lady in red, my lady in red,

I love you...

We took a boat over Lake Geneva

It was raining all night long

We were lucky and we saw no enemy

And came from Switzerland, poor refugees

Far from the guns of war

We said goodbye to it all

They brought us in to a nurse's station

Half a mile behind the lines

Oh Lord, how my heart was breaking

To see the children, and the walking wounded

Hoping for a ticket home

To say goodbye to it all

I woke up on a cold blue morning

I see her there, standing right beside me

Long years since I left her at the borderline

And how she found me I'll never know

We decided there and then

To say goodbye to it all (to it all)

Say goodbye to it all

Say goodbye to it all...

Took a train from Paris to the ocean

Found a small hotel by the coast

As we walked along the beaches of Normandy

We came to Juno, Omaha and Gold

And whispered a prayer for the boys

Who said goodbye to it all

Now we've got our own place by the water

And I have a job in the old hotel

She is ready and she's hoping for a daughter

Well I don't mind, we've made our choice

We've got all the time in the world

We said goodbye to it all

We said goodbye to it all

Say goodbye to it all

Say goodbye to it all

Say goodbye to it all

Say goodbye to it all

Say goodbye to it all

Say goodbye

Say goodbye

There's a Spanish train that runs between

Guadalquivir and old Saville

And at dead of night the whistle blows

And people hear she's running still

And then they hush their children back to sleep

Lock the doors, upstairs they creep

For it is said that the souls of the dead

Fill that train ten thousand deep

Well a railwayman lay dying with his people by his side

His family were crying, knelt in prayer before he died

But above his bed just a waiting for the dead

Was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye

Well God's not around and look what I've found, this one's mine

Just then the Lord himself appeared in a blinding flash of light

And shouted at the Devil, get thee hence to endless night

But the Devil just grinned and said I may have sinned

But there's no need to push me around

I got him first so you can do your worst

He's going underground

But I think I'll give you one more chance

Said the Devil with a smile

So throw away that stupid lance

It's really not your style

Joker is the name, poker is the game

We'll play right here on this bed

And then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet

The souls of the dead

And I said look out, Lord, He's going to win

The sun is down and the night is riding in

That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line

Oh Lord, He's going to win

Well the railwayman he cut the cards

And he dealt them each a hand of five

And for the Lord, he was praying hard

Or that train he'd have to drive

Well the Devil he had three aces and a king

And the Lord, he was running for a straight

He had the queen and the knave and nine and ten of spades

All he needed was the eight

And then the Lord he called for one more card

But he drew the diamond eight

And the Devil said to the son of God

I believe you've got it straight

So deal me one for the time has come

To see who'll be the king of this place

But as he spoke, from beneath his cloak

He slipped another ace

Ten thousand souls was the opening bid

And it soon went up to fifty nine

But the Lord didn't see what the Devil did

And he said that suits me fine

I'll raise you high to a hundred and five

And forever put an end to your sins

But the Devil let out a mighty shout, my hand wins

And I said Lord, oh Lord, you let him win

The sun is down and the night is riding in

That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line

Oh Lord, don't let him win

Well that Spanish train still runs between

Guadalquivir and old Saville

And at dead of night the whistle blows

And people fear she's running still

And far away in some recess

The Lord and the Devil are now playing chess

The Devil still cheats and wins more souls

And as for the Lord, well, he's just doing his best

And I said Lord, oh Lord, you've got to win

The sun is down and the night is riding in

That train is still on time, oh my soul is on the line

Oh Lord, you've got to win

Ship to shore, do you read me anymore,

This line is bad, and fading,

Ship to shore, answer my call,

Send me a signal, a beacon to bring me home;

I have been to see the world,

tasted life at every turn,

And all the time,

Your face came back to haunt me;

Day by day the feeling grew,

I know I'm still in love with you,

The further that I go,

The more I know it, I wanna show it,

Ship to shore, do you read me anymore,

This line is bad, and fading,

Ship to shore, answer my call,

Send me a signal, a beacon to bring me home;

Moving fast, all systems go,

You and I had time to grow,

Before there was a breakdown in transmission;

How I wish that we could turn,

The clock back to the days when,

We were lovers in the true sense,

Of the meaning, you must believe me,

Ship to shore, do you read me anymore,

This line is bad, I'm drowning,

Ship to shore, answer my call,

Send me a signal, a beacon to bring me home;

Ship to shore, ship to shore, ship to shore...

I cannot believe my eyes,

But I think I see a light;

You are everything I've always,

Wanted in my life;

A spaceman came traveling on his ship from afar

Twas light years of time since his mission did start

And over a village, he halted his craft

And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star

He followed a light and came down to a shed

Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed

A bright light of silver shone round his head

And he had the face of an angel and they were afraid

Then the stranger spoke, he said, do not fear

I come from a planet a long way from here

And I bring a message for mankind to hear

And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air

And it went la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la

Peace and goodwill to all men and love for the child

La la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la, oh

This lovely music went trembling through the ground

And many were awakened on hearing that sound

And travelers on the road

The village they found by the light of that ship in the sky

Which shone all around

And just before dawn at the paling of the sky

The stranger returned and said, now I must fly

When two thousand years of your time has gone by

This song will begin once again to a baby's cry

And it went la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la

This song will begin once again to a baby's cry

And it goes la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la

Peace and goodwill to all men and love for the child

Oh the whole world is waiting, waiting to hear the song again (la la la la la la la la la)

There are thousands standing on the edge of the world (la la la la la la la la la)

And a star is moving somewhere, the time is nearly here (la la la la la la la la la)

This song will begin once again to a baby's cry

Restless heart, it has been a long time

Out here on the journey, for a glimpse of paradise

It's getting hard to find a place to go

Where peaceful waters flow

I took a walk past the old saxon well

Down by the cathedral, I heard the chapel bell

And joined the people singing for a way to go

Where peaceful waters flow

And if you don't know by now, you never will

Only love can find the door

If you could see it now, it's in your hands

Only love can reach the shore, to heaven

Always, she is standing by my side

She's my inspiration, and she's my battle-cry

And in her arms is the only place I know

Where peaceful waters flow

And if you don't know by now, you never will

Only love can find the door

If you could see it now, it's in your hands

Only love can reach the shore, forever more

Where peaceful waters flow

Oh my heart is spinning like a wheel

Only she can see the way that I feel

Eyes are holding right across the room

High explosion coming out of the blue

Well here we go again

Living in a world that others cannot share

Yea here we go again

We are moving from a spark to a flame

I am high on emotion, high again

High on emotion, your love will find the way

Oh my heart is burning like a fire

Closer now and she is breathing desire

Take my hand and give it all your light

Take command I am your rhythm tonight

Well here we go again

Living in a world that others cannot share

Yea here we go again

We are moving from a spark to a flame

I am high on emotion, high again

High on emotion, your love will find the way

I am high on emotion, high again

High on emotion, your love will find the way

High on emotion, high again

High on emotion, your love will find the way

High on emotion

High again

High on emotion

High again

High on emotion

High again

High on emotion

High again
