The winds of change come blowing through my life The fortune wheel is spinning round the dice And i travel through the emerald frost To where the ice watchman sits around the clock And it's cold, so very cold In the playground of the lost souls And I'm told, you never grow old In the playground of the lost souls Cherry oyster's scattered on the beach Of the crystal ocean that's so far out of reach So i board the ship of fools Where the thieves of romance pillage every room And it's cold, so very cold In the playground of the lost souls And I'm told, you never grow old In the playground of the lost souls And it's cold, so very cold In the playground of the lost souls And I'm told, you never grow old In the playground of the lost souls What you gonna do when you're lonely What you gonna do when it all falls down What you gonna do when you're broken What you gonna do when the rains come down What you gonna say when you can't choose What you gonna say when the world goes by What you gonna say when it's too late What you gonna say when it's time to die Rains come down yeah The rains come down, the rains come down What you gonna say, boy What you gonna do when the rains come down When you're lonely, when you're alone What you gonna say, sing it to me When the rains come down, come down When you say youre lonely Whatcha you gonna do boy When the rains come down, come down

It was long ago Seems like yesterday Saw You standing In The Rain Then i heard you say I want to love but it comes out wrong I want to live but i don't belong I close my eyes and i see Blood and Roses Flowers In The Springtime October we were wed The winter time the roses died The blood ran cold and then she said I want to love but it comes out wrong I want to live but i don't belong I close my eyes and i see Blood and Roses It was long ago Seems like yesterday Saw You standing In The Rain Then i heard you say I need your love but it comes out wrong I try to live but i don't belong I close my eyes and i see Blood and Roses

I see him walking down the street one day He turns and looks, and looks my way But as i turn to say He just fades away He's a stranger in this vicinity He looks like an agent of mystery And through the dark shadows He stalks the city streets He's a man, dressed in black And like the speed of light he moves through you You're a man, dressed in black Through the wind and the rain, I keep searching for you I keep looking for you I'm a gunning for you I keep searching for you Down avenues and boulevards He flits through cafe's and city bars I thought i saw him smoking By a burned out car He's like a ghost who floats from place to place One day i'll meet him face to face But like a haze of gunsmoke He fades and leaves no trace He's a man, dressed in black And like the speed of light he moves through you You're a man, dressed in black Through the wind and the rain, I keep searching for you I keep looking for you I'm a gunning for you I keep searching for you No face, no trace, a silhouette through mist And haze This stranger, he's dressed in black No name, always the same, he flickers through cinematic frames This stranger, well he's dressed in black He's a man, dressed in black And like the speed of light he moves through you You're a man, dressed in black Through the wind and the rain, I keep searching for you I keep looking for you I'm a gunning for you I keep searching for you

THE RAIN POURED DOWN ON ME TOO I met you under Berlin lilac trees English Spy falls for spandau queen 1944 and this war it never yields Autumn leaves fall down gold & green There's danger on the German radio As the rain it poured down on me It's crazy our dark hidden secret But my love for you goes on and on I kissed you but you seemed so uncertain We talked by lanterns for hours in the twilight I held your hand as we closed the curtains As the bombs rained down all through the night There's danger on the German radio As the rain it poured down on me It's crazy our souls in isolation But your love for me goes on and on I saw the rain as it bathed on your pretty face I caught your eyes as they lit up the sky Souls scream as the city burns to ash again Sit in darkness as the sirens wail by There's danger on the German radio As the rain it poured down on me It's crazy and it's so uncertain But this war it goes on and on

Someone's Dying I slipped away from a sleepy stillness A blind man cried Pale faces stared Cos someone's died They steel your clothes and make you grand For your final stand A funeral pyre of cleansing fire On these hallowed lands There's no-one here i know Black suits and a perished moon Light the candles, start the wake Your embers burnt out too soon Someone's dying, Someone's dying I walked away No I crawled away To an endless pain Through the winter storm clouds So these dreamless nights And the empty days They seem so strange Through the winds of hell fire And in the breeze Oh the summer trees I'm on my knees For you now sweet child Can't let you go Oh you'll never know Just how much i loved you now I walked away from the girl with the flowers Tears fall like blood, i felt her pain I grew old, without your love Sombre days and bitter rains Everything just falls apart It breaks my heart I call your name, it's all in vain This is my darkest day I kissed your eyes and said goodbye Dust to dust beneath black skies I wish you well and stay clear of hell Till another place, another time Someone's dying, Someone's dying Through the rain and snow To where the angels go In the afterglow Is where i'll meet you You're dust and bone And your blood runs cold Now long dark nights bleed me Ive met the devil here Near your grave stone dear But i showed no fear Cos you were with me In your land of ghosts And tormented souls You'll waltz right through heavens door

For one sweet moment she was mine In a world of our very own She was so dear to me But now my love has flown To Rest In Peace To Rest in Peace Lipstick On the mirror I'm burning Up inside Perfume On your nightdress Nightmares Haunting deep inside I kiss your photo everyday Still hear the words you loved to say I see your ashes burn away Rest in peace I feel your ghost from time to time Your memories still flood my mind My love for you will never die Rest in peace A Bed of Roses by your side Angels Stole you from my life A Bitter Taste Of sorrowed times And Many Many people cried Each winter brings another tear Without your love i'm laced with fear Your memories so very clear Rest in peace Oh why d'you have to go and die The car crash wreckage plagues my mind Another you i'll never find Rest in peace Rest in, Rest in, Rest in, Rest in peace Rest in, Rest in, Rest in, Rest in peace RIP, RIP, RIP O-oh RIP, RIP, RIP O-oh Rest in, Rest in peace Rest in, Rest in, Rest in, Rest in peace I kiss your photo everyday Still hear the words you loved to say I see your ashes burn away Rest in peace I feel your ghost from time to time Your memories still flood my mind My love for you will never die Rest in peace Each winter brings another tear Without your love i'm laced with fear Your memories so very clear

Rainy days, always in my way After all these years, the pain don't fade away Oh Dad, you're never coming back From that fateful heart attack Which left me on my knees Fighting back the tears And I still miss you And I still need you And I still love you These rainy days, have broke me many ways And where was god, when i cried out his name Oh Dad, you left me way too soon You never saw me bloom And even though I've tried I'm hollow deep inside And I still miss you And I still need you And I still love you How many more rainy days? I've a million memories of the days we played How many more rainy days? I can't wait to see you in another world How many more rainy days? I've a million memories of so very few days How many more rainy days? I can't wait to see you in another world
