Mike Oldfield
English multi-instrumentalist musician and composer.
Monna Lisa, you can stop searching;
don't you know we're not Virgin?
When you want the score
When you need a helping hand
And you find closed doors
And you're back where you began
Keeping those secrets
Telling those lies...
Can anybody tell me
What's the big surprise?
Voices in the dark
And the lights burn low
Teach yourself the art
That you never know
Try to put a message through
To your sweetheart
Won't you like to know
The secrets of the heart?
Oh, my love
You're searching
For your name
Beside the sea
Of dwells and dreams
Where Shadows're dancing
For your glance...
The sky would chance
The granting of a dream
To the restless soul
That dwells within your heart...
I feel a rush in the air tonight,
I can feel the Earth moving.
Love is beacon, a guiding light,
can't you feel the Earth moving?
When the birds sing outside
And you see the trees
Changing into green
The sun invites one
To be out in the open air.
When the sky is so blue, then,
Oh! Then I wish for so much!.
Reach out, it's a leap in the dark,
But there's no danger of falling.
Give out, give it straight from the heart,
You feel the thunder rolling...
Holy, to me just one glance is holy
One touch of your heart to me that's holy...
How's it feel when
There's time to remember?
...Branches bare,
Like the trees in november.
Had it all,
Threw it all away;
Now's a time to walk away.
Somebody's out to get you
Hiding in the shadows
Poison arrows!
Somebody's out to break you
Hiding in narrows
Poison arrows!
Some are tricks of the light
You'll never know
Make a flickering midnight
Light into a glow...
If it was a horrible thing I was known for, like some horrible pop song, it would annoy me, but it doesn't. I'm proud of it.
With a smile of joy and gladness, with a look of exultation, as of one who in a vision what is to be, but it is not, stood and waited Hiawatha. Toward the sun his hands were lifted both the palms spread out toward it and, between departed fingers, felt the sunshine on his features. Flecked with light his naked shoulders, as it falls and flecks an oak-tree through the rifted leaves and branches.
This is zero hour and there's no way back
Can you feel that power in its arms you're wrapped
All through the night-time
Till the sun comes in?
Now Heaven's Open
Fly right in!
Speak, vision of the night,
Tell me why you haunt me so...
Speak, heaven morning light,
Whisper all my heart would know.
Dawn never finds you,
Gone back to where the Shadows dwell...
Speak, my beloved, speak,
tho' you only say farewell!
There's a new path
That we found just today
I was lost in the forest
And you showed me the way...
And now the story's just begun
A thousand years to stay;
We wake each morning with the sun
To live our dreams away...
Do we have to be so distant
How can you be so unreal?
What's the reason for hiding and
How this crying make you feel?
We are islands, but never too far
We are islands, and I need your light tonight...
Look down from in high places
Lift up the ground
Without a sound
[...]
Check altitude
Check your heart
'n this cloudless blue
'n this starlight night...
