Uriah Heep : The Magician's Birthday
歌词
1. SUNRISE
Aaah, aaah
Aaah, aaah oooh
Sunrise, and the new day's breakin' through
The morning of another day without you
And as the hours roll by
No-one's there to see me cry
Except the sunrise...
The sunrise and you.
Aaah, aaah
Aaah, aaah oooh
Tired eyes drift across the shore
Looking for love and nothing more
But as the sea rolls by
No-one's there to see me cry
Except the sunrise...
The sunrise and you.
Sunrise, - bless my eyes,
Catch my soul - make me whole
- Again.
Sunrise, new day, hear my song
I am tired of fightin' and foolin' around
But from now till who knows when
My sword will be my pen
And I'll love you, love ya
For all of my time.
Sunrise, - bless my eyes
Catch my soul and make me whole
- Again.
So sunrise, - bless my eyes
Catch my soul - make me whole
- Again.
Sunrise, - bless my eyes
Catch my soul - make me whole
- Again.
Sunrise.
2. SPIDER WOMAN
I had a Spider Woman and she was so good
She chained me in her web so tight
I lost the freedom of release that night
So I stayed right by her
I dreamt I saw a blind man who was singing a song
About a guy who couldn't take no more
And the meaning of the words he swore
Told me go find her yeah
She was a Spider Woman, but she was good to me
Spider Woman, but she was good to me
She went down.
I told her 'bout my vision
But she laughed in my face
So I told her go and walk in the street
But by the time she got past my feet
I lost control
She was a Spider Woman, but she was good to me
Spider Woman, but she was good to me
Spider Woman, but she was good to me
Spider Woman, but she was good to me
Spider Woman, but she was good to me
Spider Woman, but she was good to me
3. BLIND EYE
Stranger than the sunrise
Darker than the night
Fiercer than a rainstorm
This is man's delight
This is man's delight.
Weaker than a moment
And hot as any fire
Blinder than the blind eye
This is man's desire
This is man's desire.
I ran to a place in the open sea
Where I pledged my life to the sun
But when I woke up one day the sun
Had gone.
I ran to a place in the open sea
Where I pledged my whole life to the sun
It was good for a while, I could laugh, I could smile
But when I woke up one day the sun
Had gone.
Had gone had gone had gone had gone
So what of my meaning
What am I trying to say
What of my caution
...I'm a man anyway, I'm a man anyway
I'm a man anyway, I'm a man anyway
I'm a man anyway, I'm a man anyway.
(repeat to fade)
4. ECHOES IN THE DARK
I have heard the echoes in the dark
Dim and distant voices of the past
And I've seen so far into the night
And lingered in the land of no light.
Far beyond the shrouded hours of dawn
Through the mist of daybreak I was born
But the day was clouded still by night
Leaving me in the land of no light.
Though I'd love to
Say hello to you
You might have to wait a while to say
Goodbye
For it must end as it began
And then start again.
The day of darkness comes to every man
And lingers while he reaches out his hand
And he cannot know how it will end
Till he finds out if he has a friend...
A friend...
A friend...
A friend.
5. RAIN
It's raining outside but that's not unusual
But the way that I'm feeling is becoming usual
I guess you could say
The clouds are moving away
Away from your days
And into mine
Now it's raining inside and that's kind of a shame
And it's getting to me, a happy man
And why should you want to
Waste all my time
The world is yours
But I am mine
Rain, rain, rain, in my tears
Measuring carefully my years
Shame, shame, shame, in my mind
See what you've done to my life
Rain, rain, rain, in my tears
Measuring carefully my years
Shame, shame, shame, in my mind
See what you've done to my life
See what you've done to my life
6. SWEET LORRAINE
Would you like to take this magic potion with me
On a trip to a cosmic playground far beyond
She understands, she's been before
It's in her hands to find the door
Sweet Lorraine let the party carry on
You and I will swim the sea
Sweet Lorraine let the party carry on
You and I can feel the breeze
There is no time, no wealth only I surround you
The fortune of this guide is simply sincerity
She understands 'cause she's been before
It's in her hands to find the door so
Sweet Lorraine let the party carry on
You and I will swim the sea
Sweet Lorraine let the party carry on
You and I can feel the breeze
Sweet Lorraine let the party carry on
You and I will swim the sea
Sweet Lorraine let the party carry on
You and I can feel the breeze
Sweet Lorraine let the party carry on
You and I will swim the sea
Sweet Lorraine let the party carry on
You and I can feel the breeze
Sweet Lorraine
Sweet Lorraine
(repeat and adlib to fade)
7. TALES
We told our tales as we sat under
Morning's sleepy sky
With all the colours of the sunrise
Shining in our eyes.
One, then another, with a story of yesterday's lives
Or of a lover who had gone in a
Moment of strife.
No thought of sleep ever dwells upon
The wise man's mind
Some task or audience stealing every
Moment of his time.
Thus we have learned to live
While mortal men stand waiting to die.
How can we do what must be done in
Just one short life.
And if you ask, then you must know.
If you still doubt, you should be told.
It was not we that made it so.
It was by those who went before.
And there you sit, tomorrow's child
So full of love, so full of life
But you must rise to meet the day
Lest you become another tale
And there you sit, tomorrow's child
So full of love, so full of life
But you must rise to meet the day
Lest you become another tale
Another tale, another tale
Another tale
8. THE MAGICIAN'S BIRTHDAY
In the magic garden
Some were singing, some were dancing
While the midnight moon shone brightly overhead.
The stars so gaily glistened
And the sphinx in silence listened to
The magician tell of lives that he had led.
Let the bells of freedom ring
Songs of love to Friday's king.
Let's all go to the magician's birthday
It's in the forest, but not so far away
Much to do and so much to say
While we listened to the orchid orchestra play.
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear magician, happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you (dear magician), happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you (dear magician), happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you (dear magician), happy birthday to you.
Then at the dead of midnight
As we watched the dancing firelight
The air grew cold and seemed to dull the flame.
The fire died, the music faded
Filled with fear of death we waited
For now we knew some evil was to blame.
I challenge you, I challenge you all
For all you own and all you know
And by all the powers of darkness I will
Steal what is mine
Surrender now or face my spite
I grant you it may be Friday night
But did you know this day
Also numbers thirteen.
First I give you fire
I turn your fire into a sleepy stream
Yes but now I give you nightmares
From your horror I'll create a dream
You cannot fight me for I have the sword of hate
But one thing you can't see, my answer is simply
An impenetrable fortress
Of love - love - love.....
Finale
The fear went as quickly as it came
The air was clear, the fire burned again
The flames leapt, the organ played
The swans sang to greet the day
And then we knew that
Love will find love will find love will find
Love will find love will find love will find
Love.....
