Lyrics
[Verse 1] Tempered by greed Tall buildings breathe Give a sigh of relief when it's night Stirring from sleep We night-owls creep Is there any sign of life under this stone? [Pre-Chorus 1] Star chime hollow and true Love, child [Chorus 1] Weep for me... And I will cast your wheels in motion Walk with me... The inner reaches of emotion [Verse 2] Sheltered by creed One piled on one Do you have a little room for one small one? [Pre-Chorus 2] Light shine wild and free Sun, rise [Chorus 2] Weep for me... And I will cast your wheels in motion Keep with me... And like a roller on the ocean Stand by me... And I will fill you with devotion Walk with me... The inner reaches of emotion [Interlude] Here we are In the sunshine Everything is fine Here we are Everything, everything is fine [Chorus 3] Weep for me... The sands of time will fill the ocean Keep with me... And rays of sunshine fill the ocean Walk with me... The inner reaches of emotion [Transition] [Verse 3] Don't ever let me take you for granted You've got your finger on the pulse of my soul Let me place a kiss in the small of your back Love can protect you from the evils of this world [Verse 4] Oh baby don't ever leave me stranded Whoever said that the streets were paved with gold? Well I'm afraid that we're all sadly mistaken There's nothing here 'til we have someone to hold [Pre-Chorus 3] I love you with all the joy of living 'Til the lights go down in New York City It's a special love affair And there's magic in the air [Chorus 4] You gotta shake me down Bring me 'round to my senses 'Til I'm lost and found You surround me with your senses [Verse 5] If love wasn't here would we reinvent it? Oh take me down to the very root of my soul Oh baby say it as if you really mean it And feel the passion work its way up through your skin [Pre-Chorus 3] I love you with all the joy of living 'Til the lights go down in New York City It's a special love affair And there's magic in the air [Chorus 4] You gotta shake me down Bring me 'round to my senses 'Til I'm lost and found You surround me with your senses [Bridge 1] Let me take you by the hand And we can go and find a brand new world Starlight - starbright (Starbright, starbright, starbright, starbright, starbright...) [Interlude] [Bridge 2] You gotta take me by the hand (take me by the hand) And we can go and hide in this world (hide in this world) Starlight, starlight, starlight... [Chorus 4] You gotta shake me down Bring me 'round to my senses 'Til I'm lost and found You surround me with your senses [Chorus 4] You gotta shake me down Bring me 'round to my senses 'Til I'm lost and found You surround me with your senses [Chorus 4] You gotta shake me down Bring me 'round to my senses 'Til I'm lost and found You surround me with your senses [Chorus 4] You gotta shake me down Bring me 'round to my senses 'Til I'm lost and found You surround me with your senses [Transition] You gotta shake me down Bring me 'round... [Verse 6] The deal is on the rise again The ship comes into shore You've been away to somewhere But life goes on no less [Pre-Chorus 4] Through the foreign ocean Underneath the sea [Chorus 5] The walls come tumbling down We'll be forever calm And you'll be here in my arms I'll keep you away from harm [Verse 7] I thought about you twice just then You get me every time Keeps coming out of nowhere It cannot be defined [Pre-Chorus 5] Your colours are magnificent From magenta to bright blue [Chorus 5] The walls come tumbling down We'll be forever calm And you'll be here in my arms I'll keep you away from harm [Interlude] [Pre-Chorus 4] Through the foreign ocean Underneath the sea [Chorus 5] The walls come tumbling down We'll be forever calm And you'll be here in my arms I'll keep you away from harm [Chorus 5] The walls come tumbling down We'll be forever calm And you'll be here in my arms I'll keep you away from harm [Chorus 5] The walls come tumbling down We'll be forever calm [Verse 8] Climbing up on Solsbury Hill I could see the city light Wind was blowing, time stood still Eagle flew out of the night [Verse 9] He was something to observe Came in close, I heard a voice Standing stretching every nerve I had to listen had no choice [Chorus 6] I did not believe the information Just had to trust imagination My heart was going boom boom boom "Son," he said, "Grab your things, I've come to take you home." [Verse 10] To keeping silence I resigned My friends would think I was a nut Turning water into wine Open doors would soon be shut [Verse 11] So I went from day to day Though my life was in a rut 'Till I thought of what I'd say Which connection I should cut [Chorus 7] I was feeling part of the scenery I walked right out of the machinery My heart was going boom boom boom "Hey," he said, "Grab your things, I've come to take you home." [Verse 12] When illusion spin her net I'm never where I want to be And liberty she pirouette When I think that I am free [Verse 13] Watched by empty silhouettes Who close their eyes, but still can see No one taught them etiquette I will show another me [Chorus 8] Today I don't need a replacement I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant My heart was going boom boom boom "Hey," I said, "You can keep my things, they've come to take me home." [Post-Chorus 1] "Son", he said He said [Pre-Chorus 6] What religion or reason could drive a man to forsake his lover? Don't you tell me no Don't you tell me no Don't you tell me no Don't you tell me no [Chorus 9] Soul, I hear you calling Oh, baby, please give a little respect to me [Verse 14] I try to discover A little something to make me sweeter Oh, baby, refrain From breaking my heart [Pre-Chorus 7] I'm so in love with you, I'll be forever blue That you give me no reason Why you're making me work so hard That you give me no That you give me no That you give me no That you give me no [Chorus 9] Soul, I hear you calling Oh, baby, please give a little respect to me [Verse 15] And if I should falter Would you open your arms out to me?
