Angels&Lovers

Howard Jones Angels&Lovers Lyrics
1.Angels And Lovers

There's a whisper on the wind tonight
It tells me what the angels and lovers said
This desire
Is not ordinary
Love is screaming at you

If the moon should turn red over your head don't let her go
Just believe it's your time here is the sign what angels and
lovers find

You find a love like this once in your life
A diamond in your hand not a piece of glass
Picture you
Looking back on what you've
Done to lose all this time

If the moon should turn red over your head don't let her go
If the sea should turn dry don't let him fly don't say goodbye
If the planets collide don't run and hide change his mind
Just believe it's your time here is the sign what angels and
lovers find

This desire
Is not ordinary
Love is screaming at you

If the moon should turn red over your head don't let her go
If the sea should turn dry don't let him fly don't say goodbye
If the planets collide don't run and hide change his mind
Just believe it's your time here is the sign what angels and
lovers find


2.Back In Your Life

Soon the warm night breezes roll on in
A steamy blanket for the shore
This is streetlight time
You said you were mine
So the fool believes
What the night conceives

The light of love is in your eyes
Is in your smile again
Is in your life again

Was a time when love grew cold for you
Turned your back on memories

I was there for you
I will see you through
Darkest hours fade
The promises we made
Were not the kind to fade away
We'll face another day
We'll face another day
When that was yesterday

Will the ocean rollers bring you home
Or will they take you out to sea
This is real-time
And you are still mine
The fool that loves his dreams
Breaks the cruelest schemes

The light of love is in your eyes
Is in your smile again
Is in your life again
Back in your smile again
Back in your life again


3.Dreamin' On

I don't know but i've been told
There's a place where dreams are bought and sold
I'd like to steal me a dream with you
Together we can sail the oceans blue
Do you feel like i do?
Don't get me wrong
But i need your love

And i feel like dreaming on
But i wake to find you gone

Hope you like the things i say
I look forward to the day
When i can take you into my life
One day you just might say you'll be my wife
And i don't want to push
I don't want to rush you
But i need your love

And i feel like dreaming on
But i wake to find you gone
And i feel like dreaming ...

Throw this caution to the wind
Be my lover, be my friend
If it goes wrong we'll start anew
What else are we going to do?

And i feel like dreaming on
But i wake to find you gone
And i feel like dreaming on
But i wake to find you gone
And i feel like dreaming on


4.If You Love

Chorus
If you love
You know you're gonna feel the hurt
See the flowers
Growin' from the muddy earth

You never see the sun
You're never gonna feel the rain
With your life under glass
In the middle lane
You'll never feel the joy
Never feel the pain

Chorus

Try to build a house on top of the highest tree
It's dangerous and a bit risky
But what about the view
See the clouds and the mountains too

Chorus

Get your hands dirty
Get a little insane
Come out and play with me
Barefoot in the rain

If you love
You know you're gonna feel the hurt
(feel the joy, feel the pain)
See the flowers
Growin' from the muddy earth
(you see the sun and then you see the rain)

You never see the sun
You're never gonna feel the rain
With your life under glass
In the middle lane
You'll never feel the joy
Never feel the pain

If you love
You know you're gonna feel the hurt
(feel the joy, feel the pain)
See the flowers
Growin' from the muddy earth
(you see the sun and then you see the rain)
If you love
You know you're gonna feel the hurt

Growin' from the muddy earth
(feel the joy, feel the pain)
Never feel the pain
(you see the sun and then you see the rain)


5.Let Me Be The First To Know

If you find a time when things just seem to fall apart
And there's no way to keep a cheery face
When the sight of your own reflection only breaks your heart
And all your dreams have given up the chase

Pick up the telephone
You know i'm always home
Any old time of night or day
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know

If you find a time when you just have to walk away
Because of a call to pastures new
You're in need of some fresh words to wish you on your way
You need to fly on up and touch the moon

Sharing this temporary weight
No time to hesitate
I will be everything you need
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first ...

We're water breaking on an endless wave
Potential bursting from the sea
Compassion is what sets our minds apart
Be cheerful when you break
The chains of morality

Oo, sharing this welcome weight
Don't even hesitate
I will be everything you need
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first one to know


6.Nothing To Fear

What freezes love in your eyes
What steals the force from your life
What holds us ransom tonight
What stops you seeing yourself?
Only fear can stand
On potential's hands

This is the greatest day of your life
If you make it
And the old spells you know
They can be broken
Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear

The greatest faults can be beaten
The grandest problems defeated
Impossible choices completed
Infinite pain will be treated
Only fear can stand
On potential's hands

This is the greatest day of your life
And we made it
And the old spells you know
'cause they can be broken
Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear

This is the greatest day of your life
And we've made it
Break the old spells
Oh, let them be broken
Nothing to fear
No, nothing to fear

This is the greatest day
Break the old spells and throw them away
Break the old spells
Don't y'know they can be broken
No, nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear


7.Not One Of The Lonely Tonight

Bring me down to earth
Take this weight from tired shoulders
Kiss me tenderly
Let me drown in waves of your love

You part the trees so i
Can cherish things that matter
Your single voice sounds through
A room of din and chatter
Oh take me home
When the streetlights shine above

Safe in your arms
So simple to me
Safe in your arms
Oh so temporary
Safe in you arms
Oh so tenderly
Not one of the lonely tonight

Flying hectically
Through a cloud of buts and maybes
Passing frantically
Over nights and days unended

You turn my head and laugh
When my world turns sour
You give me strength to pass
Through my darkest hour
Oh take me home
When the streetlights shine above


8.Sleep My Angel

Sleep my angel
It is time for bed
I will be there
To watch over you
I'll protect you from the world
And the voices in your head
I'll be with you
With my life i will defend
I'll be with you
I will be there in the end

And i'll cry your tears
As you feel every pain
Coax out the sun
From the endless rain
Thought i'd never feel
So much love for another
I'll be with you
I will be there in the end

Love that is there
Through the false and the real
Love that desires
No reward and no gain
As i hold your tiny hand
You'll never know how i feel
There's a promise
With my life i will defend
I will be there with you 'til the end

And i'll cry your tears
As you feel every pain
Coax out the sun
From the endless rain
Thought i'd never feel
So much love for another
I'll be with you
I will be there 'til the end

All that potential
Bursting inside
Let me help you on your journey
Let me help you with life

I will be there with you 'til the end


9.Wedding Song

I can see you
On your wedding day
With the one you love
To share the way
A life ahead of you
Youth left behind
Go out and make yourself
Some memories

Dispair and pleasure
Faced at every turn
And there's children
To save from harm's way
Three thousand doorways
Reveal a thousand more
Treasure each moment
Forever more

I promise to love you and do my best for you
I need you to help me to find my strength
Walk with me all through my life
My lover my husband my wife
Share this journey with me
Write this story with me

Life comes and it will go
And there's no time to sit and watch the grass grow
When we are old and grey you know we'll say
We went and made ourselves some memories

We're starting our life
We're starting together now
I need you to help me to find my strength
Walk with me all through my life
My lover my husband my wife
Share this journey with me
Write this story with me


10.We Make The Weather

Heaven is a somewhere locked inside and i must find the key
Wish i'd never locked the door
Ordinary things in life are where this heaven likes to be
Hold the sky, feet on the floor
Hold the sky, feet on the floor

We make our sun to shine
We make our space and time
We make the weather
We make it change

Hell is not somewhere but a state of mind i choose to be
When my faith in life has gone
Cruelty rebounds to hurt itself puts shackles on the free
Vicious circle carries on
Hold the sky, feet on the floor

We make our sun to shine
We make our space and time
We make the weather
We make it change
We make the weather
We make it change

Time to judge the act don't judge the actor of the circumstance
Time to free compassion's world
Life is not the end we're passing through like bubbles on the
sea
Time to learn and time to mend
Hold the sky, feet on the floor

We make our sun to shine
We make our space and time
We make the weather
We made a change
We make the weather
We make a change


11.When Lovers Confess

In this boat out on the sea
I can't see land
Hiding out and biding it's time
Yet it's all around
Shimmering sun for day
Jealous moon will prey
On the mind of an unfulfilled soul

Life seems a moment away
Challenging and beckoning
Needing this freedom today
On the night when lovers confess

Chilling winds will blow through this heart
And won't let me rest
Matchwood bridges are doin' their best
To keep us apart
Love that was meant to be
Love that was sent to me
In the land of troubles and peace

Life seems a moment away
Challenging and beckoning
Loving this freedom today
On the night when lovers confess


Life seems a moment away
Challenging and beckoning
Loving this freedom today
On the night when lovers confess
When lovers confess their love


12.You're The Buddha

There were times when i thought there was nothin' in this world
There was nothin' in this world for me
Everywhere i looked there was trouble in my life
Trouble far as i could see
Hey there's a man doin' alright
What's his philosophy?
He come over here and whispered in my ear

You're the buddha, you're the christ,
You're the mohammed, and the mother mary

So who am i so nervous and shy
To be brilliant and talented
It's the light not the dark that frightens us most
And the power lies in our head
You playin' small doesn't help at all
The world need the things you give
Switch yourself on, turn the pressure on

You're the buddha, you're the christ,
You're the mohammed, and the mother mary

There are times when i think there's plenty in this world
There's plenty in this world for me
Anytime i see trouble in my life
It becomes an opportunity
Now there's a chance to make the world dance
You do it unconsciously
Help this winter turn into spring

You're the buddha, you're the christ,
You're the mohammed, and the mother mary
