Eastern Wind
From Eastern Wind    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

Well my furrows are filled with corn,
I have my woman to keep me warm,
But there's one thing that I do fear,
That eastern wind is getting near;

There's a shotgun beside my bed,
This is my country, where I was born and bred,
But I am sure, as the willow will grow,
That eastern wind is going to blow,
 

    Blowing a hole in my life, eastern wind,
    Running away with my life, eastern wind;
 

There's a woman who reads the stars,
She sees warlords on the planet Mars,
And she said, "Boy, you'd better beware,
That restless wind is getting near,
 

    Blowing a hole in your life, eastern wind,
    Running away with your life, eastern wind..."
    They are coming, they are coming, they are coming, look out!
 

In my dream, I saw a crowd,
They were burning the palace down,
I saw a mad old man, and I ran to the door,
And then that wind began to roar,

And when they come, they'll find me here,
I will not run, they will not see my fear,
And I will fight to the very end,
Before that wind I will never bend,
 

    If they're blowing a hole in my life, eastern wind,
    Oh running away with my life, eastern wind,
    Taking the plough from my hands, eastern wind,
    Taking every bit of my land, eastern wind...

The Ecstasy Of Flight (I Love The Night)
From Man On The Line    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

Come to my door, meet me at midnight,
I can't wait anymore, and after midnight,
We must head for the town,
Keep under cover till dawn,
With a bagful of wine;

The night is alive, look in the shadows,
Because now is the time, out in the shadows,
To be somebody else, complete transformation,
From the someone we are in the day;

I hear a noise - there is something going on,
I hear a voice - there is something going on,
I see the boys - there is something going on,
And something is happening to me, yea;

I love the night, I love the night,
I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight,
I love the night, I love the night,
I love to dance with a stranger and to feel her delight,
And when the dancing is through, I kick off my shoes,
And I listen to the beating of my heart...

After the fall, then came the hunger,
In the hearts of us all, ooh such a hunger,
That begins after dark, hides in the heart,
Like a wolf that is waiting inside;

I see a light - there is something going on,
It's getting bright - there is something going on,
I look outside - there is something going on,
And someone is calling to me;

I love the night, I love the night,
I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight,
I love the night, I love the night,
I love to be with a stranger and to feel her delight,
And when the morning begins, I have to get in,
Before sunlight can fall upon my face;

I love the night, I love the night,
I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight,
I love the night, I love the night...

Every Drop Of Rain
From Best Moves    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

They say there will be rain tonight,
But that's okay, we'll stay inside,
This is the first time I have felt so satisfied,
I know love has found me;

And now the night, is getting wild,
And she is sleeping like a child,
And though I know, I know I should be dreaming,
I'm tossing and turning, 'cos I wonder,

Yes I wonder, how it began,
Growing in the forests and the freeways,
Minute by minute she became a part of me,
And suddenly love is here and I'm falling,

Just like every drop of rain,
Many drops can someday make a river,
And many rivers go down to the sea,
And the sea rolls on forever, forever;

And now I'll sleep till morning light,
I have no fear of stormy nights,
Because the one that I have wanted all my life,
Is right here beside me, and I wonder,

Oh the wonder, how it began,
Growing in the forests and the freeways,
Minute by minute she became a part of me,
And suddenly love is here and I'm falling,

Just like every drop of rain,
Many drops can someday make a river,
And many rivers go down to the sea,
And the sea rolls on forever,

Oh oh every drop of rain...

Even Now
From Five Past Dreams     Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

Even now,
When I think of all the summers that have gone,
And all the friends and lovers I have known,
Still there is a memory that will not let me go,

And I see your face,
And suddenly it’s just like yesterday,
A photograph that never fades away,
Taking me to a place I thought I had left behind.

Even now, I wake up in the night because your name,
Has been whispered in my dreams,
And I still miss you, even now.

And I wonder why,
After all the years that we have been apart,
Recently an aching in my heart,
Is bringing you back to me,
Are you out there calling me?

Even now, I think of how you're living every day,
Because there is someone who can say
I still miss you, even now.

Even now, I wake up in the night, because your voice,
Has come whispering in my dreams,
And I feel that you are near,
And I call your name,
And I believe that there will be a day,
When I will hold you once again,
Cause I still miss you, even now.

What I'm trying to say is I still love you, even now.

Even now...
