When The World Knows Your Name

Deacon Blue When The World Knows Your Name Lyrics
1.Fergus Sings The Blues

Fergus sings the Blues
In bars of twelve or less
I`m a stranger
To the land
To this wilderness
All
Things are possible
But happen less and less
This
Is my country
These
Are my reasons
`Cause I look
In the mirror
And it throws
Back the question
And I whisper in words
That beg
An answer
Tell me
Can
This white man sing the blues
Home
Sick James
My biggest
Influence
Tell
Me why
James and Bobby Purify
I`m lost
In music
Sweet
Soul music
This
Is my country
These
Are my reasons
`Cause I look
In the mirror
And it throws
Back the question
And I whisper in words
That beg
An answer
Yes I look
In the mirror
And it throws
Back the question
And I whisper in words
That beg
An answer
Tell me
Can
This white man sing the blues
From the north coast
To the uplands
Stay on the left side of the white lines
From the Campsies
Over Christmas
I still dream of Memphis
`Cause I look
In the mirror
And it throws
Back the question
And I whisper in words
That beg
An answer
I got the blue blue world
And I see
The blue blue sky
I got
I got the blue blue ocean
In
My blue eye
So tell me
Can
This white man sing the blues


2.Queen Of The New Year

You`re so young
And you know so much
Heaven help us all
From the tales you tell
You`re so old
And innocent as hell
How I love your questions
You Queen of the New Year
Oh you`re so young
And you know so much
And my mind`s not made up
About the way forward
And now my heart
You know these things
My name for you
Is Queen of the New Year
All the stars in heaven go dim
To the lights on me and him
All the stars in heaven are proud
As the lights on us go out
Now I`m telling you this
In a difficult year
You know your mother
She gave me problems
What am I gonna do
With your honest heart
The champion of love
The Queen of the New Year
All the stars in heaven go dim
To the lights on me and him
All the stars in heaven are proud
As the lights on us go out
All the stars in heaven go dim
To the lights on me and him
All the stars in heaven are proud
As the lights on us go out
All the stars in heaven go dim
All the stars in heaven go dim
All the stars in heaven go dim
All the stars in heaven go dim
All the stars in heaven go dim
To the champion of love
The Queen of the New Year
To the champion of love
The Queen of the New Year
To the champion of love
The Queen of the New Year
To the champion of love
The Queen of the New Year
To the champion of love
The Queen of the New Year
To the champion of love
The Queen of the New Year


3.The World Is Lit By Lightning

Lead voc:Choir:
So maybe you`re standing
In some foreign town
You`ve walked for miles
Till the heat slows you down
And your jeans and your curls
Are bleached
And split
And your money and your anger
Are all used up
Maybe I`m sorry
About the light in this place
Makes my heart seem cold
As the words on these pages
Maybe I`m reminded
By a shop window displays or a decoration
Like some church candle
That might just burn
Might just burn
`Cause we`re dancing under chandeliers
And I`m telling you
Caught in the headlights
And I`m yelling it at you
Why is it girl
When the world is lit by lightning
That I keep telling you
That I love you
So you`re ten miles out
Of this city at night
When do coloured lights
Become paint and glass and dust
And how I wonder
What light to trust
The light of the distance
Or the light might just burn
Might just burn
`Cause we`re dancing under chandeliers
And I`m telling you
Caught in the headlights
And I`m yelling it at you
Why is it girl
When the world is lit by lightning
That I keep telling you
I keep telling you
I keep telling you
We`re dancing under chandeliers
And I`m telling you
We`re caught in the headlights
And I`m yelling it at you
Why is it girl
When the world is lit by lightning
Seraphim and Cherubim
Skies full of gold dust
Moonshine and starlight
Pockets full of rainbows
Windows and mirrored balls
Porcelain and silverlake
Dance hall neons flash and swing
Blow out your candles
It will call you
Angel
Angel
Angel
Angel
Angel
When the world knows your name
We`re dancing under chandeliers
And I`m telling you
Caught in the headlights
And I`m yelling it at you
Why is it girl
When the world is lit by lightning
That I keep telling you
That I love you
We`re dancing under chandeliers
And I`m telling you
Caught in the headlights
And I`m yelling it at you
Why is it girl
When the world is lit by lightning
That I keep telling you
That I love you
I love you
I love you
When the world
When the world
When the world knows your name
When the world
When the world
When the world knows your name
When the world knows your name
When the world knows your name
When the world knows your name
We`re dancing under chandeliers
And I`m telling you
Caught in the headlights
And I`m yelling it at you
Why is it girl
When the world is lit by lightning
That I keep telling you
That I love you


4.This Changing Light

I wrote this once before
Long before the summer
You were then a student
And we were dark as angels
We were in the east
Working to the west
The west was looking south
And the south she had no pity
But last night I dreamed
And you were always
In it
There were
Hopes and plans and schemes
And the town was full of winners
Oh brother
Oh sister
This changing light
Has lighted things so
Differently
Has lighted things so
Differently
I wrote this once before
And we were all then working
We thought we`d stop the flow
Of a cruel and heartless woman
If I`d known this then
What would these wings have done
They`d have beat and flapped and flown
And not done and not done
But last night I dreamed
And you were always
In it
There were
Hopes and plans and schemes
And the town was full of winners
Oh brother
Oh sister
This changing light
Has lighted things so
Differently
Has lighted things so
Differently
Oh brother
Oh sister
This changing light
Oh brother
Oh sister
This changing light
Oh brother
Oh sister
This changing light
Has lighted things so
Differently
Lighted things so
Differently
So differently
I wrote it on my hand
I kept it in the dark
I never ran it through my hair
I stuffed it in my pocket
I wrote this on a journey
All the way from Spain
Where our fellows fought
And never came back again
To this changing light
To this changing light
Dark dark
Changing light
Dark dark dark dark
Light
