This Silent World
Album This Way Up / This Silent WorldBy Chris de BurghWrittern by Chris de Burgh

This silent world, we're living in,
Nobody knows, nobody knows 'bout me and you;
In silent words, we talk together,
Nobody hears, nobody hears a word we say;

And I would give anything to be with you now;
Yes I would give anything to be with you now;
Yes I would give anything to be with you now;

In silent dreams, we sleep together,
Holding you tight, holding you tight till morning comes;
With silent eyes, we see each other,
I'm looking at you, I'm looking at you, you look at me,

And I would give anything to see you right now;
Yeah I would give anything to see you right now;
Yes I would give anything to see you right now;

Oh I don't care what the people say,
Our secret will not fall,
'Cos I know love is here to stay,
We've got to keep a wall, 'round a silent world;
Come over here darling, come over here and talk to me

And I would give anything to hold you right now;
Yeah I would give anything to hold you right now;
Yes I would give anything to hold you right now;
Yes I would give anything to hold you right now;

This silent world - I would give anything,
This silent world - I would give anything;

   

Oh My Brave Hearts
Album This Way Up / This Silent WorldBy Chris de BurghWrittern by Chris de Burgh

Oh my brave hearts, we must leave this land tomorrow,
We can't live here anymore,
And in the quiet hours, we talk before the dawn;

And the old hearts, they are calling from the shadows,
Telling us we must not go, oh but we cannot fight
The power of the gun, to take away our land,
They take it from our sons, swear it on my hand,

We will return to run here like the wolf,
And see the hunter's moon, and watch our river flow,
It's not gone forever;

Oh my bold hearts, we will go down to the city,
We will live by city light, but in the darkest hour,
Keep this fire alive;

We will grow strong, we will bring our wealth together,
Never showing what we have,
And when the time has come, we'll reach out for the gun,
Taking back our land, take it for our sons,
Swear it on my hand,

We will return to run here like the wolf,
And see the hunter's moon, and watch our river flow,
We will return to touch the open sky,
And see the eagle fly, and feel the morning rain,
It's not gone forever,
We will return,
Oh my brave hearts,
We gonna come back, we gonna come back,
We will return,
Oh my brave hearts,
We will return.

   

When I See You Tonight
Album This Silent WorldBy Chris de BurghWrittern 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.
