01-WINDFLOWERS（齐秦、齐豫）
O.S:
Windflowers, my father told me not to go near them
He said he feared them always, and he told me that they carried him away
Windflowers, Beautiful windflowers I couldn't wait to touch them, to smell them I held them closely
And now I cannot break away
Their sweet bouquet disappears like the vapor in the desert
So take a warning, son
Windflowers, Ancient windflowers
Their beauty captures every young dreamer who lingers near them
But ancient windflowers, I love you
Lyrics:
Windflowers, my father told me not to go near them
He feared them always, said they carried him away
Windflowers, I couldn't wait to touch them
To smell them I held them closely
Now I cannot break away
Their sweet bouquet disappears like the vapor in the desert
Take a warning, son
Windflowers, their beauty captures every young dreamer who lingers near them
Ancient windflowers, I love you
02-RUN TO ME
A1
If ever you've got rain in your heart
Someone has hurt you and torn you apart
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me
And let it be like they said it would be
Me loving you girl and you loving me
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me
B1
Run to me, whenever you're lonely
Run to me, if you need a shoulder
Now and then you'll need someone older
So darling, you run to me
A2
And when you're out in the cold
No one beside you and no one to hold
Am I unwise to open up your eyes, to love me
And when you've got nothing to lose
Nothing to pay for and nothing to choose
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me
B2
Run to me, whenever you're lonely
Run to me, if you need a shoulder
Now and then you'll need someone older
So darling, you run to me
B3
Run to me, whenever you're lonely
Run to me, if you need a shoulder
Now and then you'll need someone older
So darling, you run to me
03-FRAGILE
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes through violence
And nothing evercould
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
04-WONDERFUL TONIGHT
A1
It's late in the evening
She's wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her make-up
And brushes her long blonde hair
And then she asks me
"Do I look all right?"
And I say "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."
A2
We go to a party
And every one turns to see
This beautiful lady is walking around with me
And then she asks me
"Do you feel all right?"
And I say "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."
B1
I feel wonderful Because I see the love light in your eyes
Then the wonder of it all is that you just don't realize
How much I love you
A3
It's time to go home now
And I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
And she helps me to bed
And then I tell her
As I turn out the light
I say "My darling you were wonderful tonight
Oh, my darling. You were wonderful tonight."
05-DESPERADO
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
You've been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh you're a hard one but I know that you've got your reasons
These things that are pleasing you can hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin no younger
Your pain and your hunger they're driving you home
Freedom, oh, freedom well that's just some people talking
You're prisoners walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feel'in goes away
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be raining but there's a rainbow above you
You'd better let somebody love you
(let somebody love you)
Before it's too late
06-LONGER
Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you (I am in love with you)
Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you
I'll bring fire in the winters
You'll send showers in the springs
We'll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings
Through the years as the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you
I'll be in love with you
07-GOODBYE GIRL
A1
All your life you've waited for love to come and stay
And now that I have found you
You must not slip away
I know it's hard believing the words you've heard before
But darling you must trust them just once more
B1
'Cause baby goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again
If you wake up and I'm not there, I won't be long away
'Cause the things you do my goodbye girl
Will bring me back to you
A2
I know you've been taken
Afraid to hurt again
You fight the love you feel for me
Instead of giving in
But I can wait forever for helping you to see
That I was meant for you and you for me
B2
So remember goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again
Though we may be so far apart
You still will have my heart
So forget your past, my goodbye girl
'Cause now you're home at last
08-THE TURN OF A FRIENDLY CARD
There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains
And a wheel in perpetual motion
And they follow the races and pay out the gains
With no show of an outward emotion
And they think it will make their lilves easier
For God knows up till now it's been hard
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
No the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west
Where you can't tell the night from the sunrise
And not all the king's horses and all the king's men
Have prevented the fall of the unwise
For they think it will make their lives easier
And God knows up till now it's been hard
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
No the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
But a pilgrim must follow in search of a shrine
As he enters inside the cathedral...
09-IF
A1
If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can't I paint you
The words will never show, the you I've come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships, then where am I to go
There's no one home but you
You're all that's left me to
B1
And when my love for life is running dry, you come and pour yourself on me
A2
If a man could be two places at one time, I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving, spinning slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was through
B2
Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would simply fly away
10-HOTEL CALIFORNIA
A1
On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
A2
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be heaven or this could be hell
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down in corridor
I thought I heard them say...
B1
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely face)
There's plenty of rooms at the Hotel California
Any time of year you can find it here
A3
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
She got the Mercedes-Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember some dance to forget
A4
So I called up the captain please bring me my wine
He said we haven't had that spirit
Here since nineteen sixty nine
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...
B2
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely face)
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise bring your alibis
A5
Mirrors on the ceilling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said we are all just prisoners
Here of our own device
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
A6
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before Relax said the night man
We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave |
