1. GOD SAVE THE KEG

(Instrumental)


2. LOCKED WITHIN THE CRYSTAL BALL

Here in the spotlight this moment is ours
No one can stop us, we're one with the stars

I feel the waves begin to rise
Far across the ocean deep within your eyes
Silently watching as they fall
I can see the future locked within the crystal ball

Strike up the lightening, hear my prayer
Feel the light electric dancing through the air
Here by the ancient castle wall
Can you see the future locked within the crystal ball

Here in the spotlight this moment is ours
No one can stop us, we're one with the stars

Quiet by nature, standing tall
Old stone circles, they have seen it all
Caught like a ghost in yesterday, shadows down the hall
Are locked within the crystal ball

Fire and water, earth and sky
Mysteries surround us, legends never die
They live for the moment, lost in time, I can hear them call
They're locked within the crystal ball

I feel the waves begin to rise
Far across the ocean deep within your eyes
Silently watching as they fall
I can see the future locked within the crystal ball


3. GILDED CAGE

I walk alone, the night wears a shadow
Painted in silver, painted in gold
The moment ends in silence, then the moment grows old

And when she smiles, a thousand dreams surround her
Dress them in secrets no one can hold
The fire dies in the distance, as the embers grow cold

Sing for me now...
All the world is a stage
Smile take a bow,
From your gilded cage...

Behind the glass, she's safe where no one can reach her
Roses with thorns
Just make her bleed
A fragile porcelain angel
Break so easily

The restless heart
Cries when no one is listening
She's waiting for someone
Waiting for you
To want, love and need her
To help her to make it through...
As the moment grows old
In her Gilded Cage...


4. TOAST TO TOMORROW

Come and gather around
Join in the crowd
Singing the songs that we know
We'll drink a toast to tomorrow and one to days long ago

We will dance through the night
In the candlelight
Warmed by the fires glow

And we'll follow the stars
No matter how far
Wherever the wind may blow...

When the sun starts to rise
We will not hide our eyes
We'll greet her with a kiss hello...

All the memories we'll share
Greet us everywhere
Along life's twisting road...

Come and gather around
Join in the crowd
Singing the songs that we know
We'll drink a toast to tomorrow and one to days long ago


5. PRINCE WALDECK'S GALLIARD

(Instrumental)


6. RAINBOW EYES

She's been gone since yesterday
Oh I didn't care
Never cared for yesterdays
Fancies in the air

No sighs or mysteries
She lay golden in the sun
No broken harmonies
But I've lost my way
She had rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes

Love should be a simple blend
A whispering on the shore
No clever words you can't defend
They lead to never more

No sighs or mysteries
She lay golden in the sun
No broken harmonies
But I've lost my way
She had rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes

Summer nights are colder now
They've taken down the fair
And all the lights have died somehow
Or were they ever there

No sighs or mysteries
She lay golden in the sun
No broken harmonies
But I've lost my way
She had rainbow eyes


7. THE CIRCLE

I've been here for a million years
Through the joy, through the tears
But when I am gone this will go on
And the circle starts again...

I've watched the mountains rise from dust
Saw the gold return to rust
I had cried when the oceans died
And the circle starts again...

Ohhh...
Ahhh...

I was here when the world began to turn
Kissed the sun as it started to burn
The whispering at the reckoning said
"The circle starts again"

The moon was rising from above
I caught her eye and thought it was love
But she turned her back, the sky went black
And the circle starts again...

Ohhh...
Ahhh...

I danced through castles made of stone
Walked the desert sands alone
In the midnight hour you feel the power
And the circle starts again...

Now the question falls to you, my friend
No begining has no end
Will we ever learn, will the world still turn,
Will the circle start again?

Ohhh...
Ahhh...


8. SISTER GYPSY

And she danced through the wood
Like a gypsy girl should,
And she laughed in the face of the fire
Under the black velvet skies
With the moon in her eyes,
Head held high, tambourine held higher.

And she laughed at the fools
Who played by the rules
And she wondered just what would have been,
If she set them all free
Into her fantasy.
Free to dance through the woods again.

A dangerous game
To know her name,
She was wild, she was free
She was calling to me,
Sister Gypsy we're one and the same.

And she danced through the trees
For those who believed
She she was one with the earth and the sky,
In a moment she's gone
But her memory lives on
Like a shooting star through the night.

A dangerous game
To know her name,
She was wild, she was free
She was calling to me,
Sister Gypsy we're one and the same

I can see her in you
Kindred spirits are few,
When you find one you hold on for good,
And if you lose your way
If you path goes astray,
She will lead you back to the wood.

A dangerous game
To know her name,
She was wild, she was free
She was calling to me,
Sister Gypsy we're one and the same.

She was wild, she was free
She was calling to me
Sister Gypsy we're one and the same..


9. CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you

Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin?
'Cause I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be

Take my hand
Take my whole life too
'Cause I can't help falling in love with you

Shall I stay? Would it be a sin?
'Cause I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be

Take my hand
Take my whole life too
Though I can't help falling in love with you
No I can't help falling in love with you
No I can't help falling in love with you


10. PEASANT'S PROMISE

One warm summer night
He rode into sight
On a wild mare that was so perfectly white
I'd dreamed he'd return
And I was right
Wishes can come true when you wish with all your might...

One look in his eyes
I had realized
His life was so simple he had no disguise
He lived day to day, no promise he would stay
But in these few words he stole my heart away

He said:
"My life's not to lead
Through power or greed
I am but a poor man
when I'm cut I bleed
A more humble man you never will meet
And here is my heart for only you to keep..."

In the shade of the willow tree
My poor peasant promised to me

No scholarly thoughts, he couldn't pay high costs
And sometimes it feels like he's totally lost
But he said this true and he said it loud
"I promise you my heart with this solemn vow..."

One warm summer night
He rode out of sight
On a wild mare that was so perfectly white
I'd dreamed he'd return and I was right
Wishes can come true when you wish with all your might...

In the shade of the willow tree
My poor peasant promised to me.

In the shade of the willow tree
My poor peasant promised to me.


11. FAR FAR AWAY

She passes the days one after the other
She never sees, she never hears
Counting the hours, her life is a rerun
A series of failures rolled into one.

When she was young she looked towards the future
Eyes full of promise, a heart filled with joy
How had her road twisted so harshly
Can these two women be one and the same?

Once she dreamed of romance
Once she imagined she lived in a castle
Once she held the world in her hands
Once was a long time ago,
Far far away.

How her mind aches, her life's been a hard one
Filled with such sorrow, no girl should know
How her heart aches, she's loves and she's lost
Some say its better, but she disagrees...

Once she dreamed of romance
Once she imagined she lived in a castle
Once she held the world in her hands,
Once was a long time ago,
Far far away-when she was young
She looked towards the future
Eyes full of promise, a heart filled with joy
How had her road twisted so harshly
Can these two women be one and the same?

She passes the days one after the other...
Looking for answers
Far far away

Far far away
Far far away
Far far away


12. EMPTY WORDS

I have heard that eyes can reflect the soul
And pictures tell a thousand stories
But when I look at you
Why don't I feel it's true
There's so much said in empty words

There are people talking everywhere I look
No one saying what they mean
Still they talk anyway
When there's nothing to say
There's so much said in empty words

I've heard it all so many times
I still try to believe
But you give it away
With the things you don't say
There's so much said in empty words

I've heard it all so many times
I still try to believe
But you give it away
With the things you don't say
There's so much said in empty words

You've listened, but you never heard
There's so much said in empty words
