Justin Hayward, John Lodge) Slings and arrows, slings and arrows Slings and arrows, slings and arrows No chance for a second chance When the arrows start to fly No way is an easy way To say goodbye No dream is ever lost If you never cease to try Never thought you would walk away From [...]

Graeme Edge) When the white eagle of the North is flying overhead The browns, reds and golds of autumn lie in the gutter, dead.

Ray Thomas) Hark, listen, here he comes Hark, listen, here he comes Turning, spinning, catherine wheeling Forever changing, there’s no beginning Speeding through a charcoal sky Observe the truth, we cannot lie CHORUS Traveling Eternity Road What will you find there Carrying your heavy load Searching to find a peace of mind You’ll see us [...]
John Lodge) Just beacause it’s raining here It doesn’t mean the sun isn’t shining Somewhere else for someone You have loved But who’s not near you anymore CHORUS When your love is on the run Don’t fall apart at what’s begun It’s just the healing process Of your heart When your dream has lost its [...]
Graeme Edge) Once more I’ve loved I’ve laughed and I’ve lost Now I’m alone left counting the cost Once more sweet child of middling years Basted again in bitter-sweet tears I will survive solitude But come alive I’ll love anew (Note that the CD booklet gives this line as “Although the new”) Somebody tell me [...]
Justin Hayward/John Lodge) When I think of all the things That we’ve been through and all the things we’ve yet to do I…I start to realise The world is such a lonely place Want to be with you I remember all the heartaches we have known The angry nights when we were lonely The jealousy [...]

Justin Hayward) Pale the young squire who goes to fight To die at his master’s side Living is just a dream inside You ask me why he cried “What am I doin’ here?” “What am I doin’ here?” Beautiful princess, fair and pale Stares out across the sea Alone in her castle dark and grey [...]
Graeme Edge/Justin Hayward) There’s a leafless tree in Asia Under the sun there’s a homeless man, There’s a forest fire in the valley, Where the story all began. What will be our last thought Do you think it’s coming soon Will it be of comfort, Or the pain of a burning wound. CHORUS All we [...]
Ray Thomas) Walking in the sand Thinking of things adventures in my mind Of tall ships that sail Across the oceans wide They won’t wait for me See how they glide away so gracefully And with tomorrow what will become of me They leave me so much to explain That’s the start of our guessing [...]

This garden universe vibrates complete, Some, we get a sound so sweet. Vibrations, reach on up to become light, And then through gamma, out of sight. Between the eyes and ears there lie, The sounds of color and the light of a sigh. And to hear the sun, what a thing to believe, But it’s [...]
Mike Pinder) How is it we are here on this path we walk In this world of pointless fear filled with empty talk Descend from the ape as scientist-priests all think Will they save us in the end, we’re trembling on the brink Men’s mighty mine-machines digging in the ground Stealing rare minerals where they [...]
Ray Thomas) My boat sails stormy seas Battles oceans filled with tears At last my port’s in view Now that I’ve discovered you CHORUS Oh I’d give my life so lightly For my gentle lady Give it freely and completely To my lady As life goes drifting by Like a breeze she’ll gently sigh And [...]
Mike Pinder) I look around at other people I brush their shoulders at the corner of the street But all they notice is their feet It wasn’t meant this way Their minds have gone astray If they could lift their eyes they’d see There’s people smiling just like me and I’ll agree It’s not their [...]
John Lodge) When I look in your eye I can’t see why There’s no reflection of me When I look in your heart Let it be the start Work your magic on me When I look in your eye I can’t see why It’s all a mystery to me When I ask you to look [...]
