Waiting For The Hurricane
From Best Moves    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

Standing in the foyer of the Grand Hotel,
Suitcase in his hand looking for a bill,
There's a hurricane coming and everyone's trying to get away;

Time of the season, time of the year,
The weather reporter from Miami is clear,
"Find a save place to hide," there's no place here;

And then the lights go down,
In that Caribbean town,
And the fishing boats that go out from the coast,
Are tied up and dry, yeah yeah yeah,

Suddenly there's a movement to the telephone,
But nobody's calling home tonight,
They've taken out the very last flight,
And they close down the borderline,

'Cos there ain't nowhere to hide,
Waiting for the hurricane,
There is nowhere here to hide,
Waiting for the hurricane,
Oh there is nowhere you can hide,
Waiting for the hurricane, no no no no...

Staring out the window of the Grand Hotel,
The sea was roaring, I remember well,
And then the honeymoon bride began to cry,

But as the band played on,
Some old love song,
Well he held her hand,
Gave her to understand,
It'll be alright, yeah yeah yeah,

Suddenly there's a movement to the radio,
But nobody's getting home tonight,
They've taken out the very last flight,
And they closed down the borderline,

'Cos there ain't nowhere to hide,
Waiting for the hurricane,
There is nowhere here to hide,
Waiting for the hurricane,
Oh there is nowhere you can hide,
Waiting for the hurricane,
Oh there is nowhere you can hide,
Waiting for the hurricane,
Oh oh, waiting for the hurricane,
Oh oh, waiting for the hurricane,
No no no no...

Wall Of Silence
From Eastern Wind    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

Hollywood is such a dream,
And when you're only seventeen, it's wonderful,
A movie man said she could be a star,
A beauty queen, or a cover girl,
She believes and packs up her things,
And the wall of silence begins;

Every night was party night,
She was everyone's delight, he let her stay,
And when he'd had enough, he threw her out,
And she found work in a small cafe,
When she called they put her on hold,
And the wall of silence grows;

    Give me a break,
    Give me a break,
    This is Hollywood,
    Open the door,
    Open the door,
    What am I going to do,
    When the money runs out,
    And there isn't any doubt,
    That I'll have nowhere to go.
 

Hollywood is just a dream,
But when you're only seventeen, it's magical,
She went home to hide away,
She wore her sadness like a veil, and closed the door,
Till the day she smiles and recalls,
And the wall of silence falls...

Watching The World
From Far Beyond These Castle Walls    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

Pass me the bottle, pass me the wine,
Open your throttle, and I'll drive you right out of your mind,
Watching the waves, watching the sky,
I'm just sitting down here by the riverside,
Watching the world going by...

She said that she loved me and alway be true,
But she was high above me, there's only one thing to do,
Bye baby baby bye bye little darling, and now she's flying blue,
And I'm sitting down here by the riverside,
Watching the world passing through...

Oh yea yea yea Ram bam bi doo ah ... Ram bam bi doo ay ...
Do you wanna meet my sister, she's good for a drink or two,
At forty-five smiles to the gallon she can watch the world floating through.

Throw away your city clothes, throw away your suit,
Bring out your city rose, bring the dogs and the cats in the boat, yea yea yea,
You don't need no shoes, you won't feel the blues,
When you're sitting down here by the riverside,
Watching the world passing through...

Oh Ram bam bi doo ah ... Ram bam bi doo ay ...
Roll one for me brother, eighteen inches long,
And we can lay down here by the riverside,
Smoking and singing this song ... oh yea.

Ram bam bi doo ah ... Ram bam bi doo ay ...
Sitting down here by the riverside,
Watching the world going by...

What About Me?
From Into The Light    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

I am left in the night, trembling with fear,
I have seen to the future, and the future is here,
Our leader will bring victory, but our land is in flames,
And as the final sounds of battle disappear, I had to say -

What about me, and you, and the ones that we love,
What about me, and you, and the ones that we love,
Well what about us?

When I See You Tonight
From This Silent World (Single)    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

Can I see you tonight? Can we go for a ride?
Or watch TV - get a video out?
I've heard of one that I'd like you to see,
It's called the Field Of Dreams, goin' by the way:
Just want to say that I love you,
Just want to say that I love you.

Can I see you tonight? can we talk about life?
And how the world keeps spinning around
And just when I and the moon and the stars
And the light of your heart
I'd really do it all away
And I wanna tell you I love you
Just want to tell you I love you

Oh why do people always say
The things they never mean?
I know that we could start again,
If you listen to me!

Can I see you tonight? It's gonna be alright.
You are the best thing that's happened to me
A million words could never reveal the way you
Make me feel every moment of my life
If got to tell you I love you
Just got to tell you I love you.

Oh why do people always say,
The things they never mean?
I know that we could start again,
If you listen to me!

Can I see you tonight? Can we go for a ride?
Or watch TV - get a video out
I've heard of one that I'd like you to see,
It's called the Field Of Dreams, goin' by the way:
Just want to tell you I love you (can I see you tonight?)
Just want to tell you I love you (can I see you tonight?)
Just got to say that I love you.

When I Think Of You
From Quiet Revolution    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

There is something on my mind,
And I'm losing concentration and I feel it every time that you are near me.
I could tell you all about, your picture at my bedside,
I should call you sometime, and talk it over.
'Cos I get a kick inside, and I feel a tingle too,
It just comes from time to time,
And it only happens

When I think of You, sleeping, when I'm dreaming, when I wake up,
when I think of you, walking, when I'm talking, when I look up, when I think of

You take me away to a land of mass confusion,
And I don't know what to say, when I am near you,
I could stand here all day long, just staring at your window,
But I have so much to do, that's so important,
Then I get a kick inside, and I feel a tingle too,
It just comes from time to time,
And it only happens,

When I think of You, sleeping, when I'm dreaming, when I wake up,
When I think of you, walking, when I'm talking, when I look up, when I think of

You may get the feeling that I'm dancing on the ceiling,
When I get a kick inside, and my head is spinning too,
It just comes from time to time,
And it only happens
When I think of You, sleeping, when I'm dreaming, when I wake up,
When I think of you, when I whisper to your picture, when I kiss it, when I think
of you

When I think of you, when I'm dreaming we're together, on my sofa,
When I think of you, when I'm wishing that we're kissing, when we're dancing,
When I think of you.

Where Peaceful Waters Flow
From The Getaway    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

Restless hearts, it has been a long time,
Out here on the journey, for a glimpse of paradise,
It's getting hard to find a place to go,
Where peaceful waters flow;

I took a walk past the old Saxon well,
Down by the cathedral, I heard the chapel bell,
And joined the people singing for a way to go,
Where peaceful waters flow;

And if you don't know by now, you never will,
Only love can find the door,
If you could see it now, it's in your hands,
Only love can reach the shore, to heaven,

Always, she is standing by my side,
She's my inspiration, and she's my battle cry,
And in her arms is the only place I know,
Where peaceful waters flow;

And if you don't know by now, you never will,
Only love can find the door,
If you could see it now, it's in your hands,
Only love can reach the shore, forevermore,
Where peaceful waters flow...

Where We Will Be Going
From Power Of Ten    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

I've got every reason to be high,
I've got a place in the heaven beyond,
I've got dreams to live and I've got love to give,
And I know it in my heart and soul,
Where we will be going;

Well I lay me down to the northern sky,
I wake up with the light of the sun,
And the savage beast will surely die,
In the Bethlehem far below,
Where we will be going;

Oh... I've got the gold, and I've got the silver,
Oh... and I've got a place to call my own,

It's a way of living forever,
It's a way of living the dream,
It's a way of living the whole life,
Come down to the river,
Come down to the sea;

I remember footsteps on the moon,
After Dallas darkened days,
When the whole world seemed to stop and look,
And they ask themselves every day,
Where are we going?

But the bowman turned and carried on,
Hal prepared for childhood's end,
And it came out of dark and wintry skies,
On a terrible December night,
In New York City;

Oh... hey John! are you out there listening,
Oh... way across the universe?

It's a way of living forever,
It's a way of living the dream,
It's a way of living the whole life,
Come down to the river,
Come down to the sea;

Oh ay oh...
Oh ay oh...
Oh ay oh...
Come down to the river,
Come down to the sea;

I've got every reason to be high,
I've got a place in the heaven beyond,
I've got dreams to live and I've got love to give,
And I know it in my heart and soul,
Where we will be going,
Where we will be going,
Where we will be going...

Windy Night
From Far Beyond These Castle Walls    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

When the angry sky, opens up its mouth,
And lays down a belt of rain from the north to the south;
Close your windows and close all your doors,
And pray for those men who fall upon rocky shores.

And when the hungry road, points its finger at your heart,
And say "Stranger follow me, I will show you where to start;"
Well don't make a move, to the left or the right, or them
Hounds are gonna get you, send you running, screaming through
The stormy night.

And one windy night, a flickering light, caught the eye of
A passing angel as she was in flight; she came to the
Door, and there she saw a young soldier crying, as he
lay dying from a wound of war.

Then that angel of the Lord, took the form of a girl,
And knelt by the boy and said "I will help you to that other world,
Oh rest your weary soul, lay your head upon my shoulder,
Press your trembling hand in mine until the night is over,
For that Devil wants you, but you are a soldier, and with a
Friend by your side there's no need to hide until the fight is over..."
Na na na na oh Lord on this windy night,
Na na na na oh Lord on this windy night.

So if you need help, on a windy night, be sure to leave a
Candle burning so a friend can see the light; there may be a
Stranger come looking for you, and it may be an angel of the
Lord come to bring you better news;

On a windy night...
Na na na na oh Lord on this windy night...
Oh hear me, hear me Lord, oh Lord, on my windy night...
Oh hear me Lord, oh Lord on my windy night.

A Woman's Heart
From Quiet Revolution    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

A woman's heart is filled with passion,
A woman's heart is filled with lust,
If you don't believe that these things happen,
Could be the biggest mistake that a man can make;

A woman's night is filled with dreaming,
Of the perfect man who may not be you,
If we don't see what she's been missing,
Could be the biggest mistake that a man can make,

She wants to get near to you, Don't turn her away,
She wants to get through to you, She wants to say;

Give me your night, And I will show you my passion,
Give me your lust, And I will drink you dry,
Give me your dreams, And I will show you a lover,
Give me your heart, and I will hold you close,
And I will love you till the day I die.

A woman's day is filled with longing,
For a little romance and company,
If we don't look or just don't listen,
Could be the biggest mistake that a man can make;

A woman's heart is yours forever,
She will be true, to the one in her life,
If we don't give her love and affection,
Could be the biggest mistake, that a man can make.

She wants to get near to you, Don't turn her away,
She wants to get through to you, She wants you to say;

Give me your night, And I will show you my passion,
Give me your lust, And I will drink you dry....
Give me your dreams, and I will show you a lover,
Give me your heart, and I will hold you close,
And I will love you till the day I die.

Give me your night and I will show you my passion,
Give me your lust, And I will drink you dry....
Give me your dreams, and I will show you a lover,
Give me your heart, and I will hold you close,
And I will love you till the day I die.

A woman's heart, a woman's heart,
A woman's heart is filled with passion,
A woman's heart is filled with lust,
A woman's heart is filled with dreaming,
A woman's heart is yours forever.
