When I was only seventeen
I fell in love with a gypsy queen
She told me to hold on
Her father was the leadin' man
He said you're not welcome on our land
Then, as a foe, he told me to go
Aaah
He took me to a little shack
And put a whip across my back
And told her leave me
I was out for quite a time
Came back with her on my mind
That sweet little girl
she means all the world
Aaah
Ya know I want my gypsy queen
Will she still be torn between
Her father and lover
One day I will go to him
Strong enough to fight and win
The kind of man
That he'll understand
Aaah

I'm walking in your shadow
Ever since you went away - Yeah
And the clock on the wall
Really hasn't very much to say
Oh you left me bleeding
And left me needing you

In so very many ways
I was trying to attract your mind
But I'm the lonely one
'Cause I've had to leave it all behind
Lied and deceiving
Why should I be grieving you - Oh yeah

Ride on a golden wave
Set sail for the sun
Make every cloud your slave
Don't be alone

When I get back from trip
Of the ocean wide
Still walking in your shadow
And still looking for somewhere to hide - Yeah
If I am worse off
It's all because of you
It's all because of you

Ride on a golden wave
Set sail for the sun
Make every cloud your slave
Don't be alone

When I get back from trip
Of the ocean wide
Still walking in your shadow
And still looking for somewhere to hide - Yeah
If I am worse off
It's all because of you
It's all because of you

Daddy, Daddy, come and look
See what I've found
A little ways away from here
While digging in the ground

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
It's nothing, just a picture-book
They had before the war

Daddy, Daddy, come and see
Daddy, come and look
Why, there's four or five little Melinda girls
Inside my picture book

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
There were lots of little girls like you
Before they had the war

Daddy, Daddy, come and see
Daddy, hurry do!
Why, there's someone in a pretty dress
She's all grown up like you
Won't you tell me why

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
That someone is your Mommy
You had before the war

Daddy, Daddy, tell me if you can
Why can't things be the way they were
Before the war began

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
The answer lies in yesterday
Before they had the war

Well the very first time I saw you darling
Not one single word would come to my lips
Yes, the very first time I saw you darling
Not one single word would come to my lips
You see, I was so afraid you wouldn't love me
I want to tell you right now
I was frightned right down to my fingertips

So baby when you went away
That unlucky day last September
I was like a little lost boy in the wilderness
Baby baby baby baby baby baby baby
When you went away, oh yeah
I was like a little lost boy in the wilderness

And I've just been sitting and thinking
Of everybody I've ever known
Ooo, well you know I still love you the best
Yeah, the very best

Grinning demons smiling sideways
Laughing in my face
Here within my troubled sleep
There's such a lonely place
Running fast but never moving
I can't get away
Strange but realistic objects
Making me their prey

Then it's gone as fast as it came
Evil dream
Changing like the sun turns to rain
It would seem
La la la la, La la la la la

Dining with the gods of beauty
On a distant shore
Tasting fruits of unknown sweetness
Never seen before
Dancing stars with crystal voices
Beckon with their eyes
Unicorn of many colours
Rides to paradise

Then it's gone as fast as it came
Peaceful scene
Changing like the sun turns to rain
It would seem

La la la la, La la la la la
Sleepless nights that last a lifetime
Crucify my head
Dreams of peace and then disaster
Wish that I were dead
Looking for the end of darkness
Seeking out the day
For escape with sweeter thought of
Bearing me away

Then it's gone as fast as it came
Evil dream
Changing like the sun turns to rain
It would seem
La la la la, La la la la la

Come into my dream

Girl before you go now
There's one thing I wanted to do
That's get you to come back
Because I wanna make love to you

Got me real turned on

But there's something in your eyes
Telling me you have to go yeah
Something in your eyes
But you trying not to let it show
Oh yeah

Got me real turned on

Next time you come over
I'll buy you a bottle of wine - oh
Just take a little drink
And everything will turn out fine
Yes it will

Whoa baby, do you know what I've got in mind
Can you guess what it is
Or do you want it on the line

Got me real turned
Got me real turned
Got me real turned
Got me real turned on

You came to me with all of your lies
and I was taken in so well.
Took me quite a time to see the disguise,
you made it very hard to tell.
Now here you are again but you're beggin' in vain
cause I really don't want to know.

You came to me with a little bit of charm,
you had me down on my knees.
I didn't really think there was any harm,
but all you ever did was tease.
You took all the love that I ever had to give
and there was nothing left to show.

Well I remember everything,
everything around me.
The long dark winter till the breath of spring
came close enough to drown me.
So I'm gonna keep on trying - till I feel like dying
and I lay down and pass away.
But that wont happen till tomorrow - and by then I can borrow
another day. So I'm gonna keep on trying.

You came to me with a little bit of charm
and you had me down on my knees.
I didn't really think there was any harm,
but all you ever did was tease.
You took all the love that I ever had to give
and there was nothing left to show

Oh yeah
Wake up, set your sights
For never shall we fail
Stand up for your rights
And justice will prevail
You're listening through endless nights
And decision is your goal
So wake up, set your sights
For the time is right for your role
Yeah for your role, yeah, yeah

Wake up, wake up, wake up
Set your sights
Never, never, never
Shall we fail
Stand up, stand up, stand up
For your rights
Justice, justice, justice
Will prevail

There in the morning flying over the hills
While many are yawning they are crushed by our wills
Never have I witnessed people in fear
Not like today, not in many a year
Go kill another, there are more close behind
"No" screams a mother, "are you of your mind?"
Though they are shattered they just don't seem to yield
Bodies are scattered in all part of the field
Oh no, did I tell you what would happen if you tried
"Oh God stop this killing," said a young man
Before he died

Wake up, set your sights
For never shall we fail
Stand up for your rights
And justice will prevail
