The Long Play (1985)
 
Into A Secret Land

1. SECRET LAND

I remember
Leaves were fallin' down
In St. Germain
It was a cold november
You went away
An' I got a dream

Nobody knows who I am
Maybe you would understand
Anybody knows what I am
Down in a secret land
Nobody knows how I try
Not to tell another lie
Anybody knows in the end
I'll find a secret land

I need you I feel you
I can't life without you
So long
I know that we parted
I'll stay in this town
Cause I miss you so
I feel it I mean it
The secret that I'm gonna show
An' I turn back I see that
All my love had to fail
But I miss you so

Nobody knows who I am
Maybe you would understand
Anybody knows what I am
Down in a secret land
Nobody knows how I try
Not to tell another lie
Anybody knows in the end
I'll find a secret land

2. WE'LL BE TOGETHER

Days in blue an' nights in fever
Fall in Chinatown
Flames an' light a silent fire
Not a single sound
Who used to cry for love
Time an' time again
I used to cry for some love tonight

An' we'll be together
With a little luck a little luck
We'll be comin' out of the dark
Say you will
Say you'll come my way
An' this means forever
With a little luck a little luck
We'll be comin' out of the dark
Say you will
Say you'll come

Night is cold an' moon is flashin'
In a lonesome dance
I don't care
Cause you're beside me
I can take my chance
It's like a wave
That touched my skin
An' I'll let you stay

An' we'll be together
With a little luck a little luck
We'll be comin' out of the dark
Say you will
Say you'll come my way
An' this means forever
With a little luck a little luck
We'll be comin' out of the dark
Say you will
Say you'll come

3. HEAVEN CAN WAIT

I saw your face an' you saw mine
An' then we got much higher
I can't deny you came in time
To set the night on fire
Close your eyes
Close your eyes an' say
You're the one
Don't you feel the same

An' heaven can wait
Cause you're my desire
Heaven can wait
You're turnin' up in time
So take up my heart
Livin' for this day of joy
It's never too late
An' heaven can wait

I saw your eyes an' you saw mine
You can not be a liar
By day an' night say what you like
I'll keep my love much higher
Close your eyes
Close your eyes an' say
You're the one
Don't you feel the same

An' heaven can wait
Cause you're my desire
Heaven can wait
You're turnin' up in time
So take up my heart
Livin' for this day of joy
It's never too late
An' heaven can wait

4. JUST LIKE DIAMONDS

Fade away
My time in slow motion
Any day
When I hear you call
I tremble deep inside
Means love
Tonight

Jesus handed down his love
An' cried
Precious diamonds
You said you'd love me
I saw your eyes
Shine like diamonds
An' my tears are nothing more
Than a dream
Just like diamonds

Heard a song
My face on your shoulder
For so long
I could hear this song
It lingers in my heart
Means love
Tonight

Jesus handed down his love
An' cried
Precious diamonds
You said you'd love me
I saw your eyes
Shine like diamonds
An' my tears are nothing more
Than a dream
Just like diamonds
Your eyes keep shinin'
Just like diamonds

5. AROUND MY HEART

Some time back in 85
In July
When the summer was high
An' we've been alright
You know what money can't buy
One kiss on a flatbed truck
A hot rain
Has completed our luck
You said
Words don't mean nothing
But you will be mine

It goes around my heart
Hey hey what a criminal man
Life will go in circles
All around my heart
Hey hey
It's such a dangerous game
I'm afraid
You'd lose your trust in love

Good friend in the darkest night
You feel blind
But my love is cateyed
Just follow its light
You've got to follow the light
Some day you'll be face to face
And you'll see
Human nature can't waste
My love
Words don't mean nothing
As long as you're mine

It goes around my heart
Hey hey what a criminal man
Life will go in circles
All around my heart
Hey hey
It's such a dangerous game
I'm afraid
You'd lose your trust in love

6. CRAZY JULIET

You - you were my everything
You laid the foundation
Of my life
While
I'd been stranded in notions
You handled emotions
By my side
You said: take a seat
Tell you bout a golden ring
Married people lack emotion
Love is just a fight

Crazy Juliet here I come again
Let's have fun tonight
Everybody needs somebody
Crazy Juliet
The time of your life

You - you have been lost an' found
I traveled the ocean
Well you know
Now
Is the time for devotion
My heart is in motion
Like before
I say: watch the bride
Juliet's got a golden ring
I don't need no invitation
Comin' late at night

Crazy Juliet here I come again
Let's have fun tonight
Everybody needs somebody
Crazy Juliet
The time of your life

7. LA VISTA DE LUNA

I know the name of a lonely place
It's called: la vista de Luna
When you're a part of the island-life
You feel so warm inside
Uh, heaven's child
Uh, here's what you find

Give me another
Just another sign of love
An' I say: la vista de Luna
Love is a brother
Under cover of the moon
I'll show you
It's really in my mind
When your part is done
Even love could fade away
If you got to leave
Just leave me on
La vista de Luna

It's not the face of the moon tonight
It's just la vista de Luna
And if you promise to hold me tight
I feel so warm inside
Uh, all my life
Uh, I'll stay by your side

Give me another
Just another sign of love
An' I say: la vista de Luna
Love is a brother
Under cover of the moon
I'll show you
It's really in my mind
When your part is done
Even love could fade away
If you got to leave
Just leave me on
La vista de Luna

8. CELEBRATE YOUR LIFE

I can never say good-bye
Any special way
Everything I left behind
Will keep on callin'
Can't take an' understand
This masquerade
Look back look back
Who's to blame
For puttin' out fire
Like a moviestar
I would dream so far

An' you
You celebrate your life
An' with a one-way-ticket
You fly up to the sky
An' earth below is blue
You celebrate your time
But here I go
Don't celebrate my life

I can't try to hold it down
When you make your day
Everytime you cross the line
I'm way behind you
No need to to say our fate
Is just the same
I put myself in your place
There wasn't desire
Like a moviestar
I would dream so far

An' you
You celebrate your life
An' with a one-way-ticket
You fly up to the sky
An' earth below is blue
You celebrate your time
But here I go
Don't celebrate my life
Nanana
But I can try to understand it
Nanana
I have just one life
I celebrate it

9. CHILDREN OF ENGLAND

Child
A child plays in silence
Runnin' wild
He's never comin' home
King for a night
For a night

Children of England
Why do you run for your lives
When you need someone
I'm gonna show
My children of England
Don't have to stand here aside
This reign has started long ago

Mother I'll go far away
Cause my heart is young
I find a way into their souls
An' understand
They're lookin' out for love
Cry for the moon
For the moon

Children of England
Why do you run for your lives
When you need someone
I'm gonna show
My children of England
Don't have to stand here aside
This reign has started long ago
