ISLANDS

sung by: Bonnie Tyler

Islands from the first time we saw
we could wait for this moment, like rocks on the shore
we can never be closer somehow
for the moments that lasts, is this moment now

Chorus:
When the night's on fire will you keep the Candlelight Burning
Hold on to your hearts desire
When you see one bird into the wind another one's turning
And the two can fly much higher

We are Islands but never too far, we are Islands
And I need your light tonight, and I need your light tonight,
We are Islands but never too far, we are Islands
And I need your light tonight, and I need your light tonight

Islands never been to before and we climb so high
to where the wild birds soar, there's a new path that
we found just today I was lost in the forest and you
showed me the way

Repeat Chorus

FLYING START

We took a place in the sun
to see just what had become
the warm wind blows constantly
does the answer still blow, did you find your chateau
in that mediterranean fantasy

Chorus:
Flying Start made the whole world sing
They had no choice
Flying Start like a shining pearl, they
Sang in one voice

To where the sun always shines
familiar faces and wines
the warm wind blows constantly
knock on the door but the memory's poor
is there somebody in, now answer me
two dark eyes from the doorway shine
so you lost your dream in a bottle of wine
I knew you had to do it your way, fine
but there's none to carry the cross this time

Repeat Chorus

On dusty roads and tracks
Now it's the time to turn back
The warm wind blows constantly
riding that storm since the day you were born
is there somebody in, now answer me
two dark eyes from the doorway shine
so you lost your dream in a bottle of wine
I knew you had to do it your way, fine
but there's none to carry the cross this time

Repeat Chorus

NORTHPOINT

Have you ever been to Northpoint
to spend your time and pray
the prison walls are dark and cold and grey
the writing on the wall at Northpoint
speaks to a silent room
they shut the bars down, leave you to the gloom

Chorus:
How could we get any closer, so high is the wire
And the guards won't listen
They won't believe me
and then it all came back
Somewhere far above, has a new day risen
Way beyond the searchlight, comes alive

Then on a bright day at Northpoint
the gate was open wide
they chanced to look at what was inside
there were a million stars at Northpoint
and from the silent tomb
they took it to the heart,
and left for the moon

Repeat Chorus

Have you ever been to Northpoint
To spend your time and pray
The prison walls are dark and cold and grey

MAGICTOUCH

Once in a lifetime you find that power
to break out and run from the devils deep clutch
all that you need its the finest hour
is to believe in the Magic Touch

Chorus:
A thief in the night, love steals you far away
A thief in the night, love takes your breath away
Can't believe it, like no other
Love is a gift and to take you so much
You need the blue night to discover
Only true lovers have the Magic Touch

Once in a lifetime you find that faith
when your under the spell and it takes control
everything round you just falls in place
and all that you touch seems to turn to gold

Repeat Chorus

THE TIME HAS COME

A thousand years they waited for
someone who would be true
and now the empty years have passed
the sunlight shines anew

Chorus:
Someone who knows no fear
I feel him near
The child was born to be a king, a king,
And The Time Has Come

He tamed the wild wind when he passed
the birds and beasts he knew
until he came to rest at last
the tall gates he passed through

Bridge Chorus:
And now the story's just begun
A thousand years to stay
We wake each morning with the sun
To live our dreams away

Bridge Chorus

WHEN THE NIGHT'S ON FIRE

I was hoping, could you be my inspiration
whatever should become in the candlelight
I was dreaming, was it my imagination
tomorrow never comes in the candlelight

When the night's on fire
do you need love's arms to hold you
it's a flame there burns no finer
when you see one bird
there's another watching over
and the two can fly much higher

I was listening, to the wind that walks the hours
I never would have heard
in the candlelight
I was hoping, would you shelter me from showers
I believe every word in the candlelight

When the night's on fire and you burn
like a flame that's burning in the rain
do you need somewhere to turn
when you see one bird
it's the two that fly higher
and a second in heaven's worth whole life's
trouble and trial
