Wonder Child

Mary Black Wonder Child Lyrics
1.Saw You Running

When i lay down to take my rest
Most of the time my minds on happiness, yes
Some of the time but not for long
I get a feeling of something that's yet to come
I get a picture telling me what's undone

Chorus

When i find out that you don't love me honey
When i find out that your going away
There'll be no surprise
Because i saw you running
Saw you running from where i lay
There'll be no surprise
Because i saw you running
Saw you running from where i lay

Well i've got an eye upon the road
And i've got a hand to hold my heavy load oh yes
I've got a man and i've got a gun
One is for fighting oh the other one is just for fun
One is for fighting oh the other one is just for fun

Chorus

When i lay down to take my rest
Most of the time my minds on happiness, yes
Some of the time but not for long
I get a feeling of something that's yet to come
I get a picture telling me what's undone

2x chorus


2.If I Gave My Heart To You

If i gave my heart to you
Would you promise to be true
It would break my heart in two
If you left me waiting anticipating

Till some other magic day
I may steal your heart away
Then you would take my hand
And then understand me
When you'd really see me

In a world of different dreams
Where all things aren't what they seem
When you would take my hand

If i gave my heart
If i gave my heart
If i gave my heart to you

For only truth remains
Cause all things are just the same
The excepting part of truth

If i gave my heart
If i gave my heart
If i gave my heart to you


3.Into The Blue

Cast my boat out to the ocean
And set it sails to the wind
Gentle breeze blowing into my heart
I'm alive in this gentle world
A life carefree
A life carefree

And in this love that you give me
You have to share the joy and mystery
The wonder of your smile
And the power of your words
That changes me
That changes me

Sometimes i could fly
When your heart it touches mine
Deep into the blue
Where my soul is lost
And all because of you

Gave my heart to another love
Crashing waves of pain came over me
In my distress you came and rescued me
Still the storm talked away
Of life carefree
Of life carefree

Sometimes i could fly
When your heart it touches mine
Deep into the blue
Where my soul is lost
And all because of you

When i found myself far away from you
Thats when i hear your voice
Reminding me, calling me, lifting me
Out into the blue
Out into the blue

Sometimes i could fly
When you heart it touches mine
Deep into the blue
Where my soul is lost
And all because of you


4.Ring Them Bells

Ring them bells, ye heathen
From the city that dreams
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries
Cross the valleys and streams
For they're deep and they're wide
And the world's on its side
And time is running backwards
And so is the bride

Ring the bells st.peter
Where the four winds blow
Ring them bells with an iron hand
For the people will know
Oh it's rush hour now
On the wheel and the plow
And the sun is going down
Upon the sacred cow

Ring them bells sweet martha
For the poor man's son
Ring them bells so the world will know
That god is one
Oh the shephered is asleep
Where the willows weep
And the mountains they are filled
With lost sheep

Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf
Ring them bells for all of us who are left
Ring them bells for the chosen few
Who will judge the many when the day is through
Ring them bells, for the time that flies
For the child that cries
When the innocence dies

Ring them bells st.catherine
From the top of the room
Ring the bells from the fortress
For the lillies that bloom
For the lines they are long
And the fighting is strong
And they're breaking down the distance
Between right and wrong


5.Only A Womans Heart

My heart is low, my heart is so low
As only a woman's heart can be
As only a woman, as only a woman's
As only a woman's heart can know

The tears that drip from my bewildered eyes
Taste of bittersweet romance
You're still in my hopes
You're still on my mind oh
And even though i manage on my own

My heart is low, my heart is so low
As only a woman's heart can be
As only a woman, only a woman's
As only a woman's heart can know

When restless eyes reveal my troubled soul
And memories flood my weary heart
I mourn for my dreams
I mourn for my wasted love
And while i know that i'll survive alone

My heart is low, my heart is so low
As only a woman's heart can be
As only a woman, only a woman's
As only a woman's heart can know


6.Who Knows Where The Time Goes

Across the evening sky
All the birds are leaving
But how can they know
It's time for them to go?
Before the winter fire
I will still be dreaming
I do not count the time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?

Sad deserted shore
Your fickle friends are leaving
Ah, then you know
It's time for them to go
But i will still be here
I have no thought of leaving
You know i have no thought of time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?

And i am not alone
While my love is near me
I know it will be so
Until it's time to go
So come the storms of winter
And then the birds in spring again
I do not fear the time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?


7.Wonder Child

This child he means the world to me, there is no more enchanted
A child can take this place of ruin, and magically enhance it.

I see him in a golden room, with the book of life before him
Strange instruments upon his charts, and the crystal glow inside
him.

He's your wonder child, and my dreams come true
You've searched all your life, i see him now flying over the
universe.

This child will build a violin, one will follow the traveller's
love
Another will the bow apply, to reach the one above.

I see her in a golden room, with the moon and stars above her
Her simple smile is heaven's gate, with the queen of all beside
her.

She's your wonder child, and my dreams come true
You've searched all your life, i see her now flying over the
universe.

Your wonder child, and my dreams come true
You've searched all your life, i see them now flying over the
universe.


8.The Circus

The sky collapsed around us, you didn't seem to care
I hailed you through the raindrops, you weren't even there.

I juggle with the breakfast, you fret behind the sheets
I want you to be steadfast, you want to be released.

Chorus:
Oh my pretty darling, where did we go astray
Oh my pretty darling, i thought you'd come to stay.

We're all dollied up for the circus, oh isn't it grand
We're laughing, jumping and kissing, we're beating the band.

I've got no more smiles to win you, no tricks to turn your head
When love cannot continue, there's not much to be said.

Chorus

It's all cut and thrust at the circus, and maybe makes three
You're twisting my words into serpents, i'm down on my knees.

Oh my pretty darling, i thought you'd come to stay
I thought you'd come to stay, i thought you'd come to stay.
