Chris De Burgh Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Borderline

I'm standing in the station
I am waiting for a train
To take me to the border
And my loved one far away
I watched a bunch of soldiers heading for the war
I could hardly even bear to see them go

Rolling through the countryside
Tears are in my eyes
We're coming to the borderline
I'm ready with my lies
And in the early morning rain,I see her there
And I know I'll have to sa goodbye again

And it's breaking my heart,I know what I must do
I hear my country call me ,but I wat to be with you
I'm taking my side, one of use will lose
Don't let go, I wat to know
That you will wait for me until the day
There's no borderline,no borderline

Walking past the border guards
Reaching for her hand
Showing no emotion
I want to break into a run
But these are only boys, and I will never know
How men can see the wisdom in a war....


2.Lady In Red

Lyrics:Chris De Burgh
Music:Chris De Burgh

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
Mm, mm, mm, mm
I've never seen so many men
Ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance
Given half a chance
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your hair
I catch your eyes
I have been blind

The lady in red
Is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek
There's no body here
It's just you and me
It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know
This beauty by my side
I'll never forget
The way you look tonight

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
You were amazing
I've never seen so many people
Want to be there by your side
And when you turn to me and smile
It took my breath away
And I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love
As I do tonight

The lady in red
Is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek
There's no body here
It's just you and me
It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know
This beauty by my side
I'll never forget
The way you look tonight

I never will forget
The way you look tonight
The lady in red
The lady in red
The lady in red
My lady in red


3.The son and the father

I was walking down that road, to the place that was my home
and the memories of a life go on forever
Here's the village, here's the sea, here's the place where it
begin
When I found myself in the arms of Madonna
And then I listen for those footsteps, coming down the hall
A father to his young boy, who was hurting from a fall
You must have heard me crying, you must have dried my tears
But you know, I just can't remember, just can't remember
The son and the father, the son and the father

Now I'm walking with my boy through the place that is our home
And the memories of his life are growing forever
And I'm looking through his eyes at all the wonders of the world
Then hand in hand we will make this journey together
And we will talk of men and pirates, and heroes in the dark
I will tell him of the hungers and the mysteries of the heart
And I will always remember ,always forever
The son and the father, the son and the father, the son and the
father


1.A spaceman came travelling

A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar
'Twas light years of time since his mission did start
And over a village he halted his craft
And it hung in the sky like a star
Just like a star

He followed a light and came down to a shed
Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed
A bright light of silver shone round his head
And he had the face of an angel
And they were afraid

Then the stranger spoke
He said' Do not fear
I come from a planet a long way from here
And I bring a message for mankind to hear'
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air

And it went la la
Peace and goodwill to all men
And love for the child

This lovely music went trembling through the ground
And many were wakened on hearing that sound
And travelers on the road
The village they found by the light of that ship in the sky
Which shone all around

And just before dawn
At the paling of the sky
The stranger returned and said ' Now I must fly
When two thousand years of your time has gone by
This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry '
And it went la la
This song will begin once again
To a baby's cry
And it goes la la
Peace and goodwill to all men
And love for the child

Oh the whole world is waiting
Waiting to hear the song again
There are thousands standing on the edge of the world
And a star is moving somewhere
The time is nearly here
This song will begin once again
To a baby's cry


2.Borderline

I'm standing in the station,
I am waiting for a train,
To take me to the border,
And my loved one far away;
I watched a bunch of soldiers heading for the war,
I could hardly even bear to see them go;

Rolling through the countryside,
Tears are in my eyes,
We're coming to the borderline,
I'm ready with my lies,
And in the early morning rain, I see her there,
And I know I'll have to say goodbye again;

And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do,
I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you,
I'm talking my side, one of use will lose,
Don't let go, I want to know
That you will wait for me until the day,
There's no borderline, no borderline;

Walking past the border guards,
Reaching for her hand,
Showing no emotion,
I want to break into a run,
But these are only boys, and I will never know
How men can see the wisdom in a war...

And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do,
I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you,
I'm taking my side, one of us will lose,
Don't let go, I want to know
That you will wait for me until the day,
There's no borderline, no borderline,
No borderline, no borderline...


3.Here is your paradise

I never knew
love could be a silence in the heart
A moment when the time is still
And all I've been looking for
is right here in my arms
Just waiting for the chance to begin

I never knew
love could be the sunlight in your eyes
On a day that you may not have seen
And all I've been searching for
well words could never say
When a touch is more than anything

Maybe you will never know
How much I love you
But of this, be sure
Here is your paradise
Here is your book of life
Where you and I will be forevermore
Here is your paradise
Here is your book of life
Where you and I will be forevermore

And in the dark night
You'll follow the bright light
And go where the love must go
And you will wake
in the morning to a brand new day
Take all your worries away


4.In a country churchyard

In a country churchyard there's a preacher with his people
Gathered all around to join a man and woman
Spring is here and turtledoves are singing from the steeple
Bees are in flowers growing in the graveyard
And over the hill, where the river meets the mills
A lovely girl is coming down
To give her hand upon her wedding day

Dressed in simple white and wearing flowers in her hair
Music as she walks slowly to the altar
And picking up his Bible then the preacher turns towards her
'Will you take this man to be your wedded husband,
To honor and love in the eyes of God above
Now let the people sing with me
These words to live forever in your heart...

Let your love shine on
For we are the stars in the sky
Let your love shine strong
Until the day you fly away

Many years have fallen on that golden country morning
The graveyard's overgrown, the church lies in ruins
Ivy on the walls and ravens wheeling round above me
As I made my way towards the last remaining headstone
I fell to my knees, read the lines beneath the leaves
And suddenly it seemed to me
I heard the words like singing in the trees...


5.Lonely sky

The cold north wind they call 'La Bise'
is swirling round about my knees
Trees are crying leaves into the river

I'm huddled in this French cafe
I never thought I'd see the day
But winter's here and summer's really over
Even the birds have packed up and gone
They're flying south with their song
And my love, she too has gone, she had to fly

Take care it's such a lonely sky
*They'll trap your wings my love and hold your flight
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky

The old cathedral lights are low
She and I we'd often go there to admire
and sometimes kneel in prayer

Lords and Ladies lie in stone
Hand in hand from long ago
And though their hands are cold they'll love forever
Even the choir rehearses those songs
For Christmas is not long
And alone, I sing my song, she had to fly

Out there, it's such a lonely sky,( * )

Fly away, fly to me, and if you need my love
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
I'll come in with the dawn
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky

On the wings of the morn
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
Above the world we'll be flying
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky


6.The lady in red

Lyricist:Chris De Burgh
Writer(s):Chris De Burgh

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes
I have been blind

*The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me
It's where I want to be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget the way you look tonight

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away
And I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight

The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me
It's where I want to be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget the way you look tonight
I'll never forget the way you look tonight
The lady in red
The lady in red


7.The snow of New York

I can see you now by the light of the dawn
And the sun is rising slow
We have talked all night
And I can't talk anymore
But I must stay and you must go

You have always been such a good friend to me
Through the thunder and the rain
And when you feeling lost in the snows of New York
Lift your heart and think of me

There are those who fail, there are those who fall
There are those who will never win
Then there are those who fight for the things they believe
And these are men like you and me

In my dream we walked, you and I to the shore
Leaving footprints by the sea
And when there was just one set of prints in the sand
That was when you carried me


8.The girl with April in her eyes

There once was a king who called for the spring
For his world was still covered in snow
But the spring had not been
For he was wicked and mean
In his winter fields nothing would grow

And when a traveler called seeking help at the door
Only food and a bed for the night
He ordered his slave to turn her away
The girl with April in her eyes

Oh oh on and on she goes
Through the winter's night,
the wild wind and the snow
Hi hi on and on she rides
Someone help the girl with April in her eyes

She rode through the night
Till she came to the light
of a humble man's home in the woods
He brought her inside
By the firelight she died
And he buried her gently and good

Oh the morning was bright
All the world was snow white
But when he came to the place where she laid
His field was ablaze with flowers on the grave
Of the girl with April in her eyes

Oh oh on and on she goes
Through the winter's night
the wild wind and the snow
Hi hi on and on she flows
She is gone, the girl with April in her eyes
