Soldier of fortune
I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand
And sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me love me
And I would surely stay
But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be...
A soldier of fortune
Many times I've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old
When nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thought my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here
Two candles
Loneliness is my only guest
Who visits me alone at night
When it comes I light two candles
Just the way it was
And pretend the flames become your eyes
Emptiness is a friend I guess
The shadow played upon the wall
If I let the candles take me
I can see your face
And remember hearing someone call your name
My candles are crying O-o-o-o-h
My candles are crying O-o-o-o-h
They're crying for you
They're waiting for you
I'm waiting for you
Is it you knocking at my door
Or maybe just a ghostly wind
How I wish that you were here
Sitting by my side
And you'll bring me back to life again tonight
My candles are crying O-o-o-o-h
My candles are crying O-o-o-o-h
They're crying for you
They're waiting for you
Kiss from a Rose
There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and,
The light that you shine can be seen.
Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, The more I get of you, Ooh
Stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey
There is so much a man can tell you,
..there.. .woa...
So much he can say.
There's so much inside.
You remain,
