Video: Barclay James Harvest - Silver Wings (From their CD "Caught in the Light" 1993)



Did we take away the daylight from our life?

Dreams are over, faded with the night

We've been here so long, didn't we see the way

Love grown cold as ice melted with the rain

After all these years

Can't believe it's trueIs it really over

After all that we've been through?

I need you here

To take away the pain

I just want to be with you again


Did you see the way

We broke the things we made

Gone forever, never be the same

Torn away on "silver wings"

Love like lightning ended in the rain

After all this time

You're still the only one

Can't be over, all we've said and done



I need you back

To take away the pain

I just want to be with you again



I need you back

To take away the pain

I just want to be with you again

Barclay James Harvest:Hymn (Video and Lyrics)



This song emphasizes the dangers of drug abuse. It was dedicated to musicians like Jimi Hendrix, Paul Kossoff and Janis Joplin. It contrasts the temporary thrill of illegal drug use with the spiritual "high" of Christianity. Religious imagery permeates this classic.



Valley's deep and the mountain's so high

If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side

You stand up there with your head in the clouds

Don't try to fly you know you might not come down

Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down

Jesus came down from Heaven to earth

The people said it was a virgin birth

Jesus came down from Heaven to earth

The people said it was a virgin birth



He told great stories of the Lord

And said he was the saviour of us all

He told great stories of the Lord

And said he was the saviour of us all



For this they/we killed him, nailed him up high

He rose again as if to ask us why

Then he ascended into the sky

As if to say in God alone you soar

As if to say in God alone we fly.



Valley's deep and the mountain's so high

If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side

You stand up there with your head in the clouds

Don't try to fly you know you might not come down

Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down

Clifford T Ward Gaye-Original Sound with lyrics


Clifford T. Ward

Gaye,
Won't you let me have a say
In the way you behave,
I won't last another day
If you decide to go away.

CHORUS:
You're the tray of nice things
I upset yesterday,
The display of bright rings
I let slip away.

****

Oh Gaye,
You allay my every fear
In a most extraordinary way,
If I thought that I could find
my way without you
I would not ask you to stay.

CHORUS:
You're the tray of nice things
I upset yesterday,
The mainstay of my dreams
That I let slip away.

****

Gaye,
Won't you let me have a say
In the way you behave,
I won't last another day
If you decide to go away.

Don't go away,
Oh please stay,
Don't go away,
Please stay.

Whitesnake-Here I Go Again (With Lyrics)


I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An' I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here I go again
Here I go again

Tho' I keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on,
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

I'm just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' I'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days,
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a twister I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go...

An' I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time

An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a twister I was born to walk alone
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time...

But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go,
Here I go again...

The Beatles-Let It Be



When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be. Yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.
And when the night is cloudy,
There is a light that shines on me,
Shine until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music,
Mother Mary comes to me,
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

Meaning of Lyrics:
This is one of the Beatles classics. Controversy has raged from time to time about the meaning of the lyrics. Some of the lyrics are open to several interpretations. Some fans assume that the words "Mother Mary" to refer to Mary the Mother of God. Others argue forcibly that they refer to Paul's late mother Mary McCartney and that Paul had a dream in which his deceased mother came to him and told him that everything would be okay. He may have written the song to comfort his father. It may have been penned so as to allow for several interpretations. Irrespective of the meaning of the lyrics the song has been an inspiration to many in time of crisis.
