The Echoing Green Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Hide

All I know is I can't make it on my own
I will never last that long
I need a place to hide

All at once every ounce of hope is gone
There's no one left to call upon
I need a place to run

I will hide myself away
I will hide myself away
I will hide myself away
In Jesus' care

All this time
I've been praying for a sign
Here is one before my eyes
I'll run into Your arms


2.New Gold Dream

Lyricist:Charlie Burchill, Derek Forbes, Jim Kerr, Mick Mcneil

New gold dream
She's the one in front of me, sirens and the ecstasy
New gold dream
Crashing beats and fantasy, setting sun in front of me

And the world goes hot
And the cities take
And the beat goes crashing
All along the way

And when you dream, dream in the dream with me
And when you dream, and when you dream
Dream in the dream with me, with me

Eighty-one, eighty-two, eighty-three, eighty-four
Eighty-one, eighty-two, eighty-three, eighty-four
Eighty-one, eighty-two, eighty-three, eighty-four
Eighty-one, eighty-two, eighty-three, eighty-four

She is your only friend until the ocean breaks

And when you dream and the dreams don't stop
And the world goes on dream with me
And when you dream and the dreams don't stop
And the world goes on dream with me, dream with me

And when you dream and the dreams don't stop
And the world goes on dream with me
And when you dream and the dreams don't stop
And the world goes on dream with me, dream with me


3.Apology

Lyricist:Jose M Belville, Christina Joy Franklin

Take a moment
Hear the sky
Take notice
Fear a lie

Don't kill another dream tonight
Don't run from something you can't fight
And don't wait for sunshine in an endless night
You'll be sorry

When I take a look at all the tears you cried
I'm sorry, sorry
See the pain that hides behind your eyes
I'm sorry, sorry

See the sadness through your disguise
I'm sorry, sorry
Hold on to it and I think you'll find
That you're sorry, sorry now
Sorry, sorry
Sorry, sorry

And so falls the rain
It won't cleanse the stain
You still feel the pain
Inside

So don't kill another dream tonight
Don't run from something you can't fight
And don't wait for sunshine in an endless night
You'll be sorry

When I take a look at all the tears you cried
I'm sorry, sorry
See the pain that hides behind your eyes
I'm sorry, sorry

See the sadness through your disguise
I'm sorry, sorry
Hold on to it and I think you'll find
That you're sorry, sorry as I
Sorry, sorry as I
Sorry, sorry

I'm sorry, sorry
So sorry, sorry now
I'm sorry, sorry now
I'm sorry, sorry now

So don't kill another dream tonight
(So sorry, sorry now)
Don't run from something you can't fight
And don't wait for sunshine in an endless night
(So sorry, sorry now)
You'll be sorry
So sorry, sorry


4.Epiphany

Lyricist:Joey Belville, George Robison

Taking ahold of destiny
And coming undone
Blind the soul and stain the feet
Quenching the sun

There's an effigy of who I was
I'm tearing it down
An epiphany of who I've become
Deaf to the sound, turn it around

Reaching for something
Just to push it away
Dreaming of something
To wish it away
Screaming at something
To kiss it away

A bitter sea of empty days
Holding me down
A symphony gone out of phase
I'm deaf to the sound, turn it around

Reaching for something
Just to push it away
Dreaming of something
To wish it away
Screaming at something
To kiss it away

Longing for something
While stepping away
I'm stepping away
Step far away


5.Fall Awake

Lyricist:Joey Belville

'It feels so cold', I hear you say
I see your eyes are turning gray
And your tears, they hide away
So I can't find you

I feel you stand, I feel you sway
I feel you push your strength away
Surrendering to hopelessness' embrace
I can't let you, if you

Fall awake
I'll try to save you
Nothing can take you down to

Fall awake
I'll try to race you
I'll try to chase you down

Fall awake
I'll try to shake you
Northing can bring you around to

Fall awake
Nothing can faze you
Nothing can break you down

And your dreams, they feel displaced
And your kiss brings better taste
And my hands, they touch your face
But I can't feel you

If I could wake up standing in your place
If I could kiss the teardrops from your face
And if I could dress your wounds in place
You know I'd try to

Fall awake

If you find you're reaching for the height
Wishing for an ending to this plight
And if your heart can't beat in time
Reach, reach, take mine

Fall awake


6.Someday

Lyricist:Joey Belville, Christina Joy Franklin

There's a hint of gray that stays
Behind our eyes
There's a certain hope that fades
In winter light

Our dreams they lie like autumn
And we don't mind
Our tears they kiss the water
Yet we will find that

And someday, we will leave here
And someday we might fly

If you put your head to the window
Press your ear to the gray sky outside
Rain, that's tapping the window
Will dry someday

There's so many words we find
Are in the way
You could put your hand in mine
We'll run away

Our thoughts, they dance like shadows in firelight
Regrets they shine like candles
Burning through the night
But someday and someday

But someday, we will leave here
And someday we might fly

If you put your head to the window
Press your ear to the gray sky outside
Rain, that's tapping the window
Will dry someday

But someday, we will leave here
And someday we might fly

If you put your head to the window
Press your ear to the gray sky outside
Rain, that's tapping the window
Will dry someday, someday


7.Seaside

Lyricist:Joey Belville, Christina Jeter

All the flowers in the field of hours
Have withered away
And the sky that used to light our lives
Is ashen gray

As the clouds kiss the fault line
And look back as if to say
'There's nothing to see here
There's nothing to feel here'

And our dreams left
Like children by the wayside
And our psalms
Sung like secrets by the seaside

Could heaven come more quickly
And lift us from the embers?
And the cinders that we remember
Of the fires that killed out hearts
And left us withered and gray

There's a tear inside of all our lives
That time won't mend
There's a shroud around our saddened eyes
Here at the end

Yet our hopes shine like beacons
In the half-light
And our prayers-violent whispers
By the seaside


8.The Sparrows And The Nightingales

Lyricist:Peter Heppner, Markus Reinhardt

How long have you been free
In this world of hate and greed?
Is it black or is it white?
Let's find another compromise

And our futures standing still
We're dancing in the spotlight
Where is the leader who leads me?
I'm still waiting

Leaving home and God is on your side
Dividing sparrows from the nightingales
Watching all the time
Dividing water from the burning fire inside

Move in circles walk on lines
No human being in sight
Calm the winds and calm the seas
Lets try another kind of peace

Who fights this holy civil war
A million men in uniform
Wo ist der fhrer der mich fhrt?
Ich warte immer noch

Leaving home and God is on your side
Dividing cruelty from tenderness
Watching all the time
Dividing fiction from reality
God is on your side

And God is on your side
Dividing presence from our history
Watching all the time
Dividing deaf men from the listening ones

And God is on your side
Dividing soldiers from the fisherman
Watching all the time
Dividing warships from the ferryboats
God is on your side


9.Anthem

Lyricist:Sermon Erick S, Smith L, Troutman Larry, Troutman Roger,
Williams M

Radio, video always the same
Big shots putting more noise in my brain
It's not real, you're just a TV face in a TV place

You're so proper with your suit and tie
If God looked you right in the eye, would you follow
Or just turn your face fall from grace?

Your commercial's universal
Deceit broadcast worldwide

You can't make me comfortable
Your conscience is a carnival
Well, I've got something that you can't buy

I hear you say that you feel for me
With your false sense of empathy I don't swallow
You make the world a wreck when you cash your check

Your clothes are expensive but your words are cheap
I can see that you're falling asleep at the wheel
It's gonna be a short ride with the lies you drive

You can't make me comfortable
Your conscience is a carnival
Well I've got something that you can't buy

And I don't want my MTV
Or the coffin that you've cut for me
I've found my answers up in the sky

Come tomorrow, stay or follow
Will you undermine or understand?

You can't make me comfortable
Your conscience is a carnival
Well I've got something that you can't buy

And I don't want my MTV
Or the coffin that you've cut for me
I've found my answers up in the sky


10.Do They Know It's Christmas?

Lyricist:Geldof Robert, Ure James (gb)

It's Christmas Time, no need to be afraid
At Christmas Time, we let in light and we banish shade
In a world of plenty, we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas Time

If I could say a prayer and pray for the other ones
At Christmas Time, it's hard but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears

And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well, tonight, thank God
It's them instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas Time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
When nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas Time at all?

Here's to you, raise a glass for everyone
Here's to them, underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmas Time at all?

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas Time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
When nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas Time at all?

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas Time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas Time at all?
Do they know it's Christmas Time at all?


11.Ceremony

Lyricist:Curtis Ian Kevin, Hook Peter, Morris Stephen Paul David,
Sumner Bernard (gb 2)

This is why events unnerve me
They find it all a different story
Notice whom for wheels are turning
Turn again and turn towards this time

All she asks the strength to hold me
Then again the same old story
World will travel, oh so quickly
Travel first and lean towards this time

Oh, as I break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time
Watching her, the things she said
The times she cried
Too frail to wake this time

Break them down
Break them down
Break them down
Break them down

Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time
Avenues all lined with trees
Picture me and then you start watching

Oh, as I break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time
Watching her, the things she said
The times she cried
Too frail to wake this time
