Earth Moving

Mike Oldfield Earth Moving Lyrics
1.Blue Night

To the whole room, her eyes are numb
As she reads from a true love story.
From the pages of a book, her lover comes.
Her heart bleeds, it's a true love story.

Misty shape in the window by her bed,
Dreaming on what she's read.
Hero takes her hand and leads her through.
Who knows what this night will do?


Only in the blue night, he comes to her
Only in the blue night.
That's when the whole night belongs to her,
Only in the blue night.

I see a dark face by the moon's glow
As she reads from a true love story.
Beckoning hand scratching at the window.
Her heart bleeds, it's a true love story.

Misty path and the night is endless.
She could be a queen or a desert princess.
Hero takes her hand and leads her through.
Who knows what this night will do?


Only in the blue night,
Only in the blue night.
That's when the whole night belongs to her,
Only in the blue night.

She wants to break free
From the cold light of reality.
And as she drifts away,
I hear her voice say, 'come away.'

Dark skin glistening by the silver light.
This is the hero come tonight.
And taking her hand, he leads her through.
Who knows what this night will do?


Blue, blue night,
Only in the blue night.
Blue, blue night,
Only in the blue night.

Blue, blue night,
Only in the blue night.
Blue, blue night.


2.Earth Moving

I hear a voice from paradise,
Looks like a new day dawning.
So clear, i just open my eyes.
Can't you hear the voice calling?

I feel a rush in the air tonight,
I can feel the earth moving.
Love is a beacon, a guiding light.
Can't you feel the earth moving?


Feel the earth move,
Now i'm wrapped in a sweet love's arms.
Reaching out for you.
There's something magic in the air tonight,
I can feel the earth move.

And it moves me.
Can't you hear the voice calling?
Looks like a new day dawning.

Reach out - it's a leap in the dark,
But there's no danger of falling.
Give out, give it straight from the heart.
You feel like thunder rolling.

I feel a rush in the air tonight,
I can feel the earth moving.
Love is a beacon, a guiding light.
Can't you feel the earth moving?


And it moves me.
Can't you hear the voice calling?
It feels like thunder rolling.


3.Far Country

She takes the rain,
And turns it to sun,
And my soul, she fills it.
Where once was a desert,
Rivers now run
And my storm, she stills it.
She takes the rain.


She breathes the air
From a far country.
This bond survives
Like a tall, tall tree.
I close my eyes
And how far i see....
She takes the rain.

She gives me hope
When there's nothing but pain.
I can't explain it.
Two different leaves,
But the branch is the same.
Forever, let it be....
She takes the rain.


She takes the rain.


4.Holy

Harmony always, when i look around me
And your smile i see,
I can feel it surround me.
A miracle i find in your company.

One glance is all that i need.
What i was searching for, i've found it.

Can you believe it, i'm walking on water
And i'm high off the ground.
Must be some mystique that weaves it.
I'd never have thought of this power i've found.

One glance is all that i need.
What i was searching for, i've found it.
One look, and now i believe
I could just wrap my whole self around it.


Holy, to me, just one glance is holy.
One touch of your heart, to me, that's holy.
Holy, to me, just one glance is holy.
One touch of your heart, to me, that's holy.

You've seen it, walking on water.
Miracles like you never seen before.

You've seen it, walking on water.
Miracles like you never seen before.


5.Hostage

You can't speak, you can't sleep.
You daren't move, you're confused.
You never talk, you can't walk.
You can't feel, you're not real.

If i open my eyes, just far enough,
I can see what you're doing.
Go on, fight to the end, it's tough enough
When you're on the road to ruin. yeah!


You're a hostage of the heart,
Twisted 'round the smallest finger.
Two burning eyes are tearing you apart,
Turn your soul into a cinder.

There's no rest, you're possessed.
You can't leave, you can't breathe.
The door slams, your head hangs.
You blank stare, you don't care.

If you open your eyes just far enough,
You see the street lamps flicker.
Go on, fight to the end, it's tough enough
When you know the end is bitter.


You're number's up, you're eyes shut.
You're on the brink, you can't think.
You wanna run, but you're stunned.
You can't lie, you don't try.

If i open my eyes, look hard enough,
I see the blue light flashes.
Go on, fight to the end, it's tough enough,
Riding on the road to ashes.


I'm a hostage of your heart,
You can twist me 'round your finger.
Your burning eyes are tearing me apart.
Turn my soul into a cinder.
Boy, boy, hostage of your heart.
Can you twist me 'round your finger?


6.Innocent

I know you'll never stay the same.
In time, most of us lose it.
But i'm hoping, just the same,
You'll shine and learn how to use it.

Speak to me, like the very first speak.
You are magnificent when you're innocent.
Laugh to me, like the very first laugh.
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent.

My hands hold you and you adore,
Blue eyes turn my direction.
Surprise in everything and your
Body moves in perfection.

Smile to me, like the very first smile.
You are magnificent when you're innocent.
Walk to me, like the very first walk.
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent.

Sunrise, here comes another day.
Cow jumps over the moon, now.
Sometime, you will look back and say,
'today, i'll sing my own tune.'

Sing to me, like the very first sing.
You are magnificent when you're innocent.
Laugh to me, like the very first laugh.
You are omnipotent when you're innocent.

Speak to me, like the very first speak.
You are magnificent when you're innocent.
Smile to me, like the very first smile.
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent.

Sing to me, like the very first sing.
You are magnificent when you're innocent.
Laugh to me, like the very first laugh.
You are omnipotent when you're innocent.


7.Nothing But / Bridge To Paradise

Nothing but
You will have nothing but love,
Nothing but hope, blue sky above.
You will find nothing but peace,
Nothing but the sun shining on your face.


When you open your eyes,
When you open your eyes.

You will feel nothing but free,
Nothing but trust, that's how it should be.
And one who cares about nothing but you,
Watching close by the whole night through.


You will feel nothing but warm,
Nothing but shelter from the storm.
You will have nothing but rest,
Deep in your heart, nothing but the best.


Nothing but love when you open your eyes.
Nothing but love when you open your eyes.


Nothing but love when you open your eyes.
Nothing but love when you open your eyes.


Nothing but love, nothing but love.
Nothing but love when you open your eyes.
Nothing but love when you open your eyes.
Ooh, nothing but love when you open your eyes.
Ooh, nothing but love when you open your eyes.


8.Runaway Son

Good sister, won't you let me in?
I'm in need of some warmth and shelter.
It's a hard luck story, don't know where to begin.
I've been riding on life's helter-skelter.

Save me, holy mother, please, save me!
I got a heart of gold.


And for your love i'd go hungry and thirsty.
I need a saviour and you're the one.
I throw myself into the arms of mercy.
There's still hope for the runaway son.

My good father, he say to me:
'better come back to your senses.
There's an empty bottle lying on the floor
And it's undermined your defences.'

Save me, holy mother, please, save me!
I got a heart of gold.


Good brother, show me how to get home.
I've been walking in the backyard of satan.
I'm so stubborn that i'll never give in,
But now my heart's cold and aching.

Save me, holy mother, please, save me!
I got a heart of gold.


And for your love i'd go hungry and thirsty.
I need a saviour and you're the one.
I throw myself into the arms of mercy.
Salvation for the runaway son.

Save me, holy mother, please, save me!
I got a heart of gold.


9.See The Light

I been waiting at this frontier
And it seems like a hundred years,
But i couldn't see past the gate.
I couldn't see past the hate.
Now i'm coming back to my senses.
I can see a light past the fences,
Standing at the borderline.
I've come to the end of the line.

Will-power, give me some to survive.
One more hour and i'm coming alive.
I can see the light.


And there's blue sky breaking
Through the edge of the night.
I can see the light.
Ooh, i can feel the light.
Whoa-whoa! whoa-whoa!

The most precious thing i possess
Is knowing the answer's yes,
And soon my liberty
Will be a reality.
I've been given a second chance.
I could open my arms and dance.
Open that barricade.
No longer i'm living afraid.

Will-power, give me some to survive.
One more hour and i'm coming alive.
I can see the light.


Now i climb the steps to freedom.
The open gates, i can see them.
Hands that i once knew
Beckoning me through.
As the sunlight touch my face,
I can feel the warm embrace.
Arms surround me.
My life has found me.

Will-power, give me some to survive.
One more hour and i'm coming alive.
I can see the light.


Whoa-whoa!
Ooh, i can see the light.

I can see the light
Coming in bright.
I can feel the light,
Freedom in sight.
Oh, i can see the light
Coming in bright.
I can feel the light.

I can see the light,
It's coming in bright.
I can feel the light,
Freedom in sight.
I can see the light.
Oh, i can feel the light.

I can see the light,
It's coming in bright.
