There are no lyrics to this song, but the music is from the musical "Riverdance" with Michael Flatley, we have Davy Spillane with playing on the uilleann pipes for Cuchulain, the great Irish hero and leader who fought the sea prior to his death.
He was the son of Lugh of the Tuatha de Dannan and Dectra who was the daughter of Cathbad the druid on the banks of the river boyne near the great mound of Newgrange and he was named ’Setanta’
Don’t know why I’m still afraid.
If you weren’t real I would make you up now.
I wish that I could follow through.
I know that your love is true and deep as the sea.
But right now, everything you want is wrong.
And right now, all you dreams are waking up.
And right now, I wish I could follow you
To the shores of freedom
Where no one lives.
Remember when we first met
And everything was still a bet in love’s game
You would call, I’d call you back
And then I’d leave a message on your answering machine
But right now, everything is turning blue.
And right now, the sun is trying to kill the moon.
And right now, I wish I could follow you
To the shores of freedom
Where no one lives.
Freedom. Run away tonight.
Freedom. Run away. Run away tonight.
We’re made out of blood and rust
Looking for someone to trust without a fight.
I think that you came too soon;
You’re the honey and the moon that lights up my night.
But right now, everything you want is wrong.
And right now, all you dreams are waking up.
And right now, I wish I could follow you
To the shores of freedom
Where no one lives.
Freedom. Run away tonight.
Freedom. Run away. Run away tonight.
We got too much time to kill
Like pigeons on my windowsill we hang around.
Ever since I’ve been with you
You hold me up all the time I’m falling down
But right now, everything is turning blue.
And right now, the sun is trying to kill the moon.
And right now, I wish I could follow you
To the shores of freedom
Where no one lives.
Freedom. Run away tonight.
Freedom. Run away. Run away tonight.
Freedom. Run away. Run away tonight.
love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes
love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where to find the answers
And I know just how to lie
I know just how to fake it
And I know just how to scheme
I know just when to face the truth
And then I know just when to dream
And I know just where to touch you
And I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
And I know when to let you loose
And I know the night is fading
And I know the time’s gonna fly
And I’m never gonna tell you everything I’ve gotta tell you
But I know I’ve gotta give it a try
And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to fame
I know all the rules and then I know how to break ’em
And I always know the name of the game
But I don’t know how to leave you
And I’ll never let you fall
And I don’t know how you do it
Making love out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all
Making love out of nothing at all
Everytime I see you all the rays of the sun
Are streaming through the waves in your hair
And every star in the sky is taking aim
At your eyes like a spotlight
The beating of my heart is a drum, and it’s lost
And it’s looking for a rhythm like you
You can take the darkness at the pit of the night
And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright
I’ve gotta follow it ’cause everything I know
Well, it’s nothing ’til I give it to you
I can make the runner stumble
I can make the final block
I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle
I can make all the stadiums rock
I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
And I can make you every promise that has ever been made
And I can make all your demons be gone
But I’m never gonna make it without you
Do you really wanna see me crawl?
And I’m never gonna make it like you do
Making love out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all
Turn around,
every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you’re never coming round
Turn around,
every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
Turn around,
every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
Turn around,
every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then 1 see the look in your eyes
Turn around, bright eyes,
every now and then I fall apart
Turn around, bright eyes,
every now and then I fall apart
Turn around,
every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild
Turn around,
every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I’m lying like a child in your arms
Turn around,
every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I’ve got to get out and cry
Turn around,
every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then 1 see the look in your eyes
Turn around,
every now and then I fall apart
Turn around,
every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight, and I need you more then ever
And if you on1y hold me tight, we’ll be holding on forever
And we’ll only be making it right, ‘cause we’ll never be wrong
Together we can make it till the end of the line,
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don’t know what to do, and I’m always in the dark
We’re living in a powder keg and giving of sparks
I really need you tonight,
Forever’s gonna start tonight, Forever’s gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love, and now I’m only falling apart
There’s nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life, and now there’s only love in the dark
There’s nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the heart
[ INSTRUMENTAL ]
Turn around, bright eyes,
Turn around, bright eyes
Turn around,
every now and then I know you’ll never be the boy you always wanted to be
Turn around,
but every now and then I know you’ll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am
Turn around,
every now and then I know there’s nothing in the universe as magical and wonderful as you
Turn around,
every now and then I know there’s nothing any better, there’s nothing that I just wouldn’t do
Turn around, bright eyes,
every now and then I fall apart
Turn around, bright eyes,
every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight, and I need you more then ever
And if you only hold me tight, we’ll be holding on forever
And we’ll only be making it right, ‘cause we’ll never be wrong
Together we can make it till the end of the line,
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don’t know what to do, and I’m always in the dark
We’re living in a powder keg and giving of sparks
I really need you tonight,
Forever’s gonna start tonight, Forever’s gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love, and now I’m only falling apart
There’s nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life, and now there’s only love in the dark
There’s nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
Turn around, bright eyes
Turn around, bright eyes
You know I never meant to see you again, but I only passed by as a friend, yea
All this time I stayed out of sight, I started wondering why?
Now I, oh, now I wish it would rain down, down on me
Oh yes I wish it would rain, rain down, on me now
Oh yes I wish it would rain down, down on me
Oh yes I wish it would rain on me
You said you didn’t need me in your life, oh I guess you were right, yea
Oh I never meant to cause you no pain, but it looks like I did it again, (yea)
Now I, now I know I wish it would rain down, down on me
Oh yes I wish it would rain, rain down, on me now
Oh girl I wish it would rain down, down on me
Oh yes I wish it would rain on me
Though your hurt is gone, mine’s hanging on inside
And I know, well it’s eating me through it’s eating through me night and day
I’m just waiting on your sign
See I know, I know,
I never meant to cause you no pain, and I’m realizing I let you down oh,
But I know in my heart of hearts, I know I’m never gonna hurt you again, no
Now I, now I know I wish it would rain down, down on me
Oh you know I wish it would rain, rain down on me now
Oh yes I wish it would rain now, down on me
Yes you know I wish it would it rain down, rain down on over me-
Just rain down over me
Just let it rain down, let it rain down, let it rain down oh yea
Let it be rain down, rain down over me
Just let it rain down, just let it rain down, let it rain down
Just let it rain-
That old dog has chained you up alright
Give you everything you need
To live inside a twisted cage
Sleep beside an empty rage
I had a dream I was your hero
Damn I wish I was your lover
I’ll rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I am everything
Tonight I’ll be your mother I will
Do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won’t feel ashamed
Open up on the inside gonna fill you up gonna make you cry
This monkey can’t stand to see you black and blue
Give you something sweet each time you
Come inside my jungle book
What is it just too good
Don’t say you’ll stay
’Cause then you go away
Damn I wish I was your lover
I’ll rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I am everything
Tonight I’ll be your mother I will
Do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won’t feel ashamed
Shucks, for me there is no other
You’re the only shoe that fits
I can’t imagine I’ll grow out of it
Damn I wish I was your lover
If I was your girl believe me
I’d turn on the Rolling Stones
We could groove along and feel much better
I could do it forever and ever
Give me an hour to kiss you
Walk through heaven’s door I’m sure
We don’t need no doctor to feel much better
Let me in
Forever and ever and ever and ever
I sat on a mountainside with peace of mind
I lay by the ocean making love to her with visions clear
Walked for days with no one near
And I return as chained and bound to you
Damn I wish I was your lover
I’ll rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I am everything
Tonight I’ll be your mother I will
Do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won’t feel ashamed
Shucks, for me there is no other
You’re the only shoe that fits
I can’t imagine I’ll grow out of it
Damn I wish I was your lover
Just open up I’m gonna come inside I wanna fill you up I wanna make you cry...
(Damn I wish I was your lover)
Gettin’ on the subway and I’m comin’ uptown...
(Damn I wish I was your lover)
Standing on a street corner waiting for my love to change...
(Damn I wish I was your lover)
Feelin’ like a school boy, too shy and too young...
(Damn I wish I was your lover)
Open up I wanna come inside I wana fill you up I wanna make you cry...
(Damn I wish I was your lover)
Gettin’ on my camel and I’ll ride it uptown...
(Damn I wish I was your lover)
Hanging around this jungle, wishing that this...
I pretend that I’m glad you went away
These four walls close in more every day
and I’m dying inside
and nobody knows it but me
Like a clown , I put on a show
The pain is real even if nobody knows
and I’m crying inside
and nobody knows it but me
Why didn’t I say
the things I needed to say?
How could I let my angel get away ?
Now my world is just a tumbling down
I can say it so clearly
but you’re no where around
(chorus )
The nights are lonely , the days are so sad
and I just keep thinking about the love that we had
and I’m missing you
and nobody knows it but me
I carry a smile when I’m broken in two
and I’m nobody without someone like you
I’m trembling inside
and nobody knows it but me
I lie awake , it’s a quarter past three
I’m screaming at night as if I thought you’d hear me
Yeah , my heart is calling you
and nobody knows it but me
How blue can I get?
You can ask my heart
but like a jigsaw puzzle it’s been torn all apart
A million words wouldn’t say
just how I feel
A million years from now, I know
I’ll be loving you still
Repeat (Chorus )
Tomorrow morning , I’m hittin’ the dusty road
gonna find you whereever, ever you might go
I’m gonna unload my heart and hope you come back to me
...said when the nights are lonely ....
Repeat (Chorus )
This is just the instrumental version of the song, Nobody Knows. I felt that I had to include it, as it is one of my personal favourite instrumental versions. I have spent many nights just listening to the music, imagining ... well, of the ones that I never got a chance to get the courage to speak to.
The acoustic guitar is played by Peter Moore, and Tony Rich plays all the other instruements.
written by Tony RichI’ve never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I’ve never seen you shine so bright
I’ve never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They’re looking for a little romance
Given half a chance
And I’ve never seen that dress you’re wearing
Or that highlights in your hair
That catch your eyes
I have been blind
The lady in red is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek
There’s nobody here
It’s just you and me
It’s where I wanna be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I’ll never forget the way you look tonight
I’ve never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I’ve never seen you shine so bright you were amazing
I’ve never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled it took my breath away
And I have never had such a feeling such a feeling
Of complete and utter love, as I do tonight
The lady in red is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek
There’s nobody here
It’s just you and me
It’s where I wanna be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I’ll never forget the way you look tonight
I never will forget the way you look tonight
The lady in red
My lady in red
I love you
written by Chris de BurghI didn’t hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
And I don’t want to move a thing
It might change my memory
Oh I am what I am
I do what I want
But I can’t hide
And I won’t go
I won’t sleep
I can’t breathe
Until you’re resting here with me
And I won’t leave
I can’t hide
I cannot be
Until you’re resting here with me
I don’t want to call my friends
For they might wake me from this dream
And I can’t leave this bed
Risk forgetting all that’s been
Oh I am what I am
I do what I want
But I can’t hide
And I won’t go
I won’t sleep
I can’t breathe
Until you’re resting here with me
I won’t leave
I can’t hide
I cannot be
Until you’re resting here
I won’t go
And I won’t sleep
And I can’t breathe
Until you’re resting here with me
And I won’t leave
I can’t hide
I cannot be
Until you’re resting here with me
Oh I am what I am
I do what I want
But I can’t hide
And I won’t go
I won’t sleep
And I can’t breathe
Until you’re resting here with me
I won’t leave
I can’t hide
I cannot be
Until you’re resting here
And I won’t go
And I won’t sleep
And I can’t breathe
Until you’re resting here with me
I won’t leave
I can’t hide
I cannot be
Until you’re resting here with me
There’s a place I dream about
Where the sun never goes out.
And the sky is deep and blue.
Won’t you take me there with you.
Ohhh, we can begin again.
Shed our skin, let the sun shine in.
At the edge of the ocean
We can start over again.

There’s a world I’ve always known
Somewhere far away from home
When I close my eyes I see
All the space and mystery
Ohhh, we can begin again
Shed our skin, let the sun shine in
At the edge of the ocean
We can start over again

You’ll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You’ll forget the sun in his jealous sky as we walk in fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of Barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We’ll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of Barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I’ve broken
But I swear in the days still left
We’ll walk in fields of gold
We’ll walk in fields of gold
INSTRUMENTAL HARP
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You’ll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold.
Haven’t seen you in quite a while
I was down the hold, just passing time.
Last time we met it was a low-lit room
We were as close together as a bride and groom.
We ate the food, we drank the wine
Everybody having a good time except you.
You were talking about the end of the world.
I took the money, I spiked your drink
You miss too much these days if you stop to think.
You led me on with those innocent eyes
And you know I love the element of surprise.
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart.
You, you were acting like it was the end of the world.
In my dream, I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows they’d learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret and waves of joy.
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy.
You, you said you’d wait till the end of the world
We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that’s walking around with me.
And then she asks me, Do you feel all right?
And I say, Yes, I feel wonderful tonight.
I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don’t realize how much I love you.
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.
i heard there was a secret chord
that david played and it pleased the lord
but you don’t really care for music, do you
well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall and the major lift
the baffled king composing hallelujah
hallelujah...
well your faith was strong but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah
hallelujah...
baby i’ve been here before
i’ve seen this room and i’ve walked this floor
i used to live alone before i knew you
i’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
but love is not a victory march
it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah
hallelujah...
well there was a time when you let me know
what’s really going on below
but now you never show that to me do you
but remember when i moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath we drew was hallelujah
hallelujah...
well, maybe there’s a god above
but all i’ve ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
it’s not a cry that you hear at night
it’s not somebody who’s seen the light
it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah
hallelujah...

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops thats where you’ll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can’t I?
Well I see trees of green and
Red roses too,
I’ll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They’re really saying, I...I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They’ll learn much more than
We’ll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Someday I’ll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top thats where you’ll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can’t I?
Ooooo oooooo oooooo

Get a load of me, get a load of you
Walkin’ down the street, and I hardly know you
It’s just like we were meant to be
Holding hands with you when we’re out at night
Got a girlfriend, you say it isn’t right
And I’ve got someone waiting too
What if this is just the beginning
We’re already wet, and we’re gonna go swimming
((chorus))
Why can’t I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can’t I speak whenever I talk about you
It’s inevitable, it’s a fact that we’re gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can’t I breathe whenever I think about you
Isn’t this the best part of breakin’ up
Finding someone else you can’t get enough of
Someone who wants to be with you too
It’s an itch we know we are gonna scratch
Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch
But wouldn’t it be beautiful
Here we go, we’re at the beginning
We haven’t fucked yet, but my heads spinning
((chorus))
High enough for you to make me wonder
Where it’s goin’
High enough for you to pull me under
Somethin’s growin’
out of this that we can control
Baby I am dyin’
Why can’t I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can’t I speak whenever I talk about you
((chorus))
written by Liz PhairHello ...
Can you hear me?
Am I gettin’ through to you?
Hello ...
Is it late there?
There’s a laughter on the line
Are you sure you’re there alone?
Cause I’m
Tryin’ to explain
Somethin’s wrong
Ya just don’t sound the same
Why don’t you
Why don’t you
Go outside
Go outside
Kiss the rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I’m gone, too long.
If your lips
Feel lonely and thirsty
Kiss the rain
And wait for the dawn.
Keep in mind
We’re under the same sky
And the nights
Is empty for me, as for you
If ya feel
You can’t wait till morinin’
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Hello ...
Do you miss me?
I hear you say you do
But not the way I’m missin’ you
What’s new?
How’s the weather?
Is it stormy where you are?
Cause I’m so close but it feels like you’re so far
Oh would it mean anything
If you knew
What I’m left imagining
In my mind
In my mind
Would you go
Would you go
Kiss the rain
((music interlude)
And you’d fall over me
Think of me
Think of me
Think of me
Only me
Kiss the rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I’m gone too long
If your lips
Feel lonely and tempted
Kiss the rain
and wait for the dawn
Keep in mind
We’re under the same skies
And the nights
Is empty for me, as for you
If you feel
You can’t wait till morning
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Oooooohhhhh
Kiss the rain
Oooooohhhhh
Kiss the rain
Hello
Can ya hear me?
Can ya hear me?
Can ya hear me?
written by Billie MyersI’m holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
I’m hearin what you say but I just can’t make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you’re sorry
Didn’t think I’d turn around, and say...
It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I’d take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it’s nothin new
I loved you with a fire red-
Now it’s turning blue, and you say...
"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I’m afraid...
t’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
Bridge (guitar/piano)
It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
It’s too late to apologize, yeah
I said it’s too late to apologize, yeah-
I’m holdin on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground...
