This Island Love
One more lonely boy, adrift on the sea of indifference,
Sailing for emotional shores.
Folk here have taken leave of everything, including their reason.
Bathing on emotional shores.
You know safe harbours.
You know safe harbours.
One more lonely girl, adrift on the sea of indifference,
Sailing for emotional shores.
Women wail and softly weep and trust loves kindest senses.
Bathing on emotional shores.
It’s been one long storm. Where’s the first port of call?
We just have to reach the shore.
This Island Love, moves over us.
From waves of joy to tides of pain.
This Island Love, moves over us.
One more happy pair, escape from the sea of indifference,
Washed up on emotional shores.
Sour hearts and broken vows, turn heads in the sea of indifference,.
Bathing on emotional shores.
It’s been one long storm. Where’s the first port of call?
We just have to reach the shore.
This Island Love, moves over us.
From waves of joy to tides of pain.
This Island Love, moves over us.
This Island Love, allies with warmth against the cold.
Moves over us, from waves of love we have no fear.
This Island Love, attracts the heart and lifts the storm
Moves over us.

Mayday
In a world like this we’ve never seen before.
It’s the world of love, we’ve never been before.
I’ll try to do it softly, I’ll try to do it gently.
In the world of love.
I can’t find this love. I can’t find my heart.
I can’t find this love. I can’t find my heart.
In a world like this we’re all looking to score.
It’s the world of love, we’re all hungry for more.
I’ll try to do it softly, I’ll try to do it gently.
In the world of love.
I can’t find this love. I can’t find my heart.
I can’t find this love. I can’t find my heart.
Loved you from the start.
Red light comes on and she takes me for a song,
And I know.
Well she’s shaking her head to the tune of the bed,
And she knows what she likes.
I’ll try to do it softly, I’ll try to do it gently.
In the world of love.
I’ll try to do it softly, I’ll try to do it gently.
In the world of love.
I should’ve know just what to do.
I should’ve known just how to get things done.
When love comes round you gotta run.
That’s why I, I know that’s where I’ll find you.
That’s why my, my love is searching everywhere.

Sail For The Sunset

Sail For The Sunset
Close your eyes and picture a rainbow,
That paints the sky and colours the sea.
Close you eyes, imagine an ocean;
Waves of steel green.
Close your eyes, fancy a tall ship.
Sails on high, in search of the Sun.
Close your eyes and dream of the sunset,
Calling you on.
And we sail and we sail and we sail for the sunset.
The sigh of the wind lifts the sails and our hearts.
The soft rolling waves gently steer us on safely.
And there’s nowhere that I’d rather be,
Than a-sail on the wide open sea.

Pair O’Dice Lost
Now all the angels was in Heaven, they had nothing to do.
And all the devils was in Hell, dancing to the blues.
They was eating red, red meat,
And drinking red, red wine.
They was glad that they were sinners,
When they had had their time.
And is it enough to want to dance The Devils music?
And is it enough to get you feet caught in a trap?
And is it enough?
Let it tear out your soul, pushing hard upon the heels.
Only one place to go.
We’re searching for a new place to go.
Well this God geezer, He left a note.
He said of Mankind, well they stuck in His throat.
Fighting and sinning just got too much,
And now He’s gone with Mother Nature,
And kicked us into touch.
And is it enough to want to dance The Devils music?
And is it enough to get you feet caught in a trap?
And is it enough?
Let it tear out your soul, pushing hard upon the heels.
Only one place to go.
We’re searching for a new place to go.
The churches and the cathedrals have all gone to Hollywood.
The films that they were showing, were all well and good.
Too many moral issues.
Far too many words.
For Christ’s sake where’s the action?
Not enough blood.
No more! No more!

Flying
I had a dream I was as light as snow flakes.
I caught the breeze and I was blown from this place.
Don’t look, don’t look down.
The world grew smaller and the clouds got nearer.
I rose above them, it was so much clearer.
Clearer, clearer all round.
All my worldly ways unbound.
All my cares left on the ground.
The world is waking to a new day dawning.
I’ve showered in crystal ice and bathed in morning.
Wrapped in sunsets gown.
All my hopes are here to share.
All my dreams up in the air.
I am flying, flying now.

Clowns

Clowns.
Cold suns on cold light.
People chase headroom.
Damn rainy nights.
Talk so lightly, ‘bout the good and bad of people.
A storm plays in the gutter.
I hope it blows him away.
Takes the courage of a spy situation,
When we live in time.
In time sweet, sweet surrender, meanwhile,
Goes unnoticed by simple men and children.
Hot heads in hot beds,
Talking, squawking, calling out their love.
Seems we all take the blame,
As lovers attract them, attract them,
With their eyes.
Just has to be a spy situation,
To care all this time.
In time sweet, sweet sensation.
As it hits home hardest in simple men and children.

There’s This Feeling
There’s this feeling I get when I’m near you.
All emotion comes rushing through my body.
Tell me, tell me, where’s the sense in running?
Tell me, tell me, where’s the sense in running?
Somewhere there’s someone who’s waiting.
Somewhere there’s somebody out there, waiting.
Just hold out your hands baby.
Somewhere there’s someone who’s waiting.
Somewhere there’s somebody out there, waiting.
Just hold out your hands baby.
There’s this feeling I get when I’m near you.
All emotion naked, blind and bleeding.
Soul and reason dragged from me screaming.
Hold me closely.
Take these chains of pain that tear us apart.
Break these chains of steel that tempers your heart.
Somewhere there’s someone who’s waiting.
Somewhere there’s somebody out there, waiting.
Just hold out your hands baby.
Somewhere there’s someone who’s waiting.
Somewhere there’s somebody out there, waiting.
Just hold out your hands baby.

Heroes
Heroes don’t sleep at night,
Cloaked in darkness, bathed in light.
No trace of the violence in, no trace.
Who’ll lead the astral band,
Back into the Promised Land?
Forget the cheques and the plastic money,
We want the land of milk and honey.
The cherry on the cake would be somewhere sunny.
When leaders talk has all died down,
Actions make the world go round.
When those in power have had their say,
Few would trust their claims today.
When leaders talk has all died down,
Actions make the world go round.
When leaders take the common stage,
Their words force our hearts to rage.
Dance, dance the night away.
Move them feet, don’t let them stay.
Don’t wait for the wind to change,
Keep the bad folk well in range.
Never let these people gain the upper hand.
When leaders talk has all died down,
Actions make the world go round.
When those in power have had their say,
Few would trust their claims today.
When leaders talk has all died down,
Actions make the world go round.
When leaders take the common stage,
Their words force our hearts to rage.
And is it possible to place their words on stage?
Pulling out all the action stops.
To make just, their last phrase.
May they have music wherever they go.
When leaders talk has all died down,
Actions make the world go round.
When those in power have had their say,
Few would trust their claims today.
When leaders talk has all died down,
Actions make the world go round.
When leaders take the common stage,
Their words force our hearts to rage.

Quest For Eternity
TIMESPAN THROUGH HORIZONS
DISTANT TO OUR SUN
CARRY OUT HIGH IN FUSION
I’VE BEEN LOOKED UPON
HERE A BEING SINGLED OUT BY FATE
STRIVES TO FIND A REASON FOR THE QUEST
AND CONTINUITY OF LIFE
AND RITUALS TO THE SUN
OH TO THE SUN
LEARNING BY A HERMITS EXISTENCE
LOOK AT ALL ASPECTS
IT IS YOU WHO WILL FIND THE KEY
THAT FITS THIS QUESTED LOCK
SEARCH NO MORE FOR YOU ARE LIFE
TIME LIES WITH YOU
BUT THE QUESTION HAS TO BE TOLD
WILL YOU HEIGHTEN THAT LIFE
TIMESPAN THROUGH HORIZONS
DISTANT TO OUR SUN
CARRY OUT HIGH IN FUSION
I’VE BEEN LOOKED UPON

It's all a matter of taste. I love this album. I love it's serenity, the beautiful instrumentation, orchestration and the great production. Ambient is not my cup of tea either, but this album crosses the borders of ambient music and prog. In other words: an awesome album!
