Crisis

Mike Oldfield Crisis Lyrics
1.Moonlight shadow

The last that ever she saw him
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
He passed on worried and warning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Lost in a river last Saturday night
Far away on the other side
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
And she couldn't find how to push through

The trees that whisper in the evening
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Sing a song of sorrow and grieving
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
All she saw was a silhouette of a gun
Far away on the other side
He was shot six times by a man on the run
And she couldn't find how to push through

I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven far away

I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven one day

Four a.m. in the morning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
I watched your vision forming
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Star was light in a silvery night
Far away on the other side
Will you come to talk to me this night
But she couldn't find how to push through

I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven far away

I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven one day

Far away on the other side

Caught in the middle of a hundred and five
The night was heavy and the air was alive
But she couldn't find how to push through

Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Far away on the other side


2.Foreign affair

Foreign affair
Take a trip in the air
To a tropical beach
An island to reach
A new territory
For an intimate story
A lagoon by la mere
It's a foreign affair

Drifting and free
On a mystical sea
A drop in the ocean
A hush in the air
You can feel anywhere
In the cool twilight
On a tropical night

Floating on air
Foreign affair
A magical potion
A cool locomotion
A dream
A prayer
It's a foreign affair

Floating on air
Foreign affair
A magical potion
A cool locomotion
A dream
A prayer
It's a foreign affair

Foreign affair
Take a trip in the air
To a tropical beach
An island to reach
A new territory
For an intimate story
A lagoon by la mere
It's a foreign affair

Foreign affair
Take a trip in the air
To a tropical beach
An island to reach
A new territory
For an intimate story
A lagoon by la mere
It's a foreign affair

Foreign affair
Take a trip in the air
To a tropical beach
An island to reach
A new territory
For an intimate story
A lagoon by la mere
It's a foreign affair

Foreign affair
Take a trip in the air
To a tropical beach
An island to reach
A new territory
For an intimate story
A lagoon by la mere
It's a foreign affair

Foreign


3.Shadow on the wall

Shadow on the wall
Shadow on the wall
Shadow on the wall
Shadow on the wall
Like a shadow on the wall

Treat me like a prisoner
Treat me like a fool
Treat me like a loser
Use me as a tool
Face me till I'm hungry
Push me in the cold
Treat me like a criminal
Just a shadow on the wall

Shadow on the wall
Shadow on the wall
Shadow on the wall
Shadow on the wall
Like a shadow on the wall

Treat me like I'm evil
Freeze me till I'm cold
Beat me till I'm feeble
Grab me till I'm old
Fry me till I'm tired
Push me till I fall
Treat me like a criminal
Just a shadow on the wall

Shadow on the wall
Shadow on the wall
Shadow on the wall
Shadow on the wall
Like a shadow on the wall

Shadow on the wall
Shadow on the wall
Like a shadow on the wall
Shadow on the wall
Shadow on the wall
Like a shadow on the wall
Shadow on the wall
Shadow on the wall
Like a shadow on the wall
Shadow on the wall
Shadow on the wall


4.Crisis

Crisis, crisis - you can't get away
Crisis, crisis - you can't get away
Crisis, crisis - I need you on my side cause there's a crisis.
And you can't get away

Crisis, crisis - you can't get away
Crisis, crisis - you can't get away
Crisis, crisis - I need you on my side cause there's a crisis.
And you can't get away

Crisis, crisis - you can't get away
Crisis, crisis - you can't get away
Crisis, crisis - I need you on my side cause there's a crisis.
And you can't get away

Make an appointment to the next dawn

The watcher and the tower
Waiting hour by hour.

There's a bridge in the security
A disturbance in tranquility

The watcher and the tower
Waiting hour by hour.

The watcher and the tower
Waiting hour by hour.

The watcher and the tower
Waiting hour by hour.

The watcher and the tower
Waiting hour by hour.


5.High places

Look down from in high places
Lift off the ground
Without a sound yeah

We move through open spaces
The wind it pulls
The sky gets close yeah

Could we get much higher?
Could we get much lighter?
Navigator to heaven.

Check out did you check your heart?
This cloudless blue
This starlight night yeah

Shoot out into the shining
That devil moon
He sings of love yeah

Could we get much higher?
Could we get much lighter?
Navigator to heaven.

The stars so close we touch them
They seem so small
They make me wonder

Far out in formation
Five thousand moons
Floating balloons

Could we get much higher?
Could we get much lighter?
Navigator to heaven.


6.Crises


Crises, crises - you can't get away!
Crises, crises - you can't get away!
Crises, crises - i need you on my side 'cause there's a crisis.
And you can't get away!


Take a walk until the next dawn.
In the winter, rain and storms.


The watcher and the tower,
Waiting hour by hour.

There's a breech in the security,
A disturbance in tranquility.


7.In High Places

Look down from in high places.
Lift off the ground
Without a sound, yeah.

We move through open spaces.
The wind, it pulls.
The sky gets close, yeah.

Could we get much higher?
Could we get much lighter?
Navigator to heaven.

Check out, did you check your heart?
This cloudless blue.
This starlight night, yeah.

Shoot out into the shining,
That devil moon. (that devil moon)
He sings of love, yeah.

Can we get much higher?
Can we get much lighter?
Navigator to heaven.

The stars, so close we touch them.
They seem so small.
They make me wonder.

Far out in formation,
Five thousand moons.
Floating balloons.

Couldn't get much higher,
Couldn't get much lighter.
Navigator to heaven.
