- Blue Night
To the whole room, her eyes are numb
As she reads from a true love story
From the pages of a book, her lover comes
Her heart bleeds; it's a true love story
Misty shape in the window by her bed
Dreaming on what she's read
Hero takes her hand and leads her through
- Chariots
There will be no mistake
Cause I watch every move you make
There'll be no where to hide
when the world knows the other side
Don't try to black my name
cause I've got you in my sights again
Suspicion is the game
- Crises
Crises, crises – You can't get away!
Crises, crises – You can't get away!
Crises, crises –
I need you on my side 'cause there's a crisis –
And you can't get away!
Crises, crises – You can't get away!
Crises, crises – You can't get away!
- Discovery
When you want the score,
When you need a helping hand.
When you find closed doors,
When you're back where you began.
Keeping those secrets,
Telling those lies.
Can anybody tell me what's the big surprise?
- Earth Moving
I hear a voice from paradise,
Looks like a new day dawning.
So clear, I just open my eyes.
Can't you hear the voice calling?
I feel a rush in the air tonight,
I can feel the Earth moving.
Love is a beacon, a guiding light.
Can't you feel the Earth moving?
- Family Man
She had sulky smile
She took her standard pose as she presented herself
She had sultry eyes
She made it perfectly plain that she was his for a price
But he said, "Leave me alone, I'm a family man
And my bark is much worse than my bite"
He said, "Leave me alone, I'm a family man
If you push me too far I just might"
- Far Country
She takes the rain, and turns it to sun
And my soul, she fills it
Where once was a desert, rivers now run
And my storm, she stills it
She takes the rain
She breathes the air from a far country
- Five Miles Out
What do you do when your falling,
You've got 30 degrees and you're stalling out?
And it's 24 miles to your beacon;
There's a crack in the sky and the warning's out.
Don't take that dive again!
Push through that band of rain!
Five miles out,
Just hold your heading true.
- Flying Start
We took a place in the sun
To see what had become
The warm winds blow constantly
Does the answer still blow
Did you find your chateau
In that Mediterranean fantasy
Chorus;
- Following The Angels
In that moment, there was peace
No one walked alone on the streets
A migration of dancing light
Gathering, returning home from the night
It came falling down
Following the angels down
Falling down
- Foreign Affair
Заграничное приключение
Летите самолетом
К тропическому берегу
Остров, чтобы достигнуть
Новую территорию
Для личной истории
Просто (с итал.) лагуна
Это - Заграничное приключение
- Gimme Back
I need my hands
I need my feet
Gimme my soul
I'm incomplete
I need my eyes
I want my teeth
Gimme my scope
- Incantations Part One
Incantations
Released: 24 November 1978
Recorded: December 1977 – September 1978
Incantations — четвёртый студийный альбом британского мультиинструменталиста Майка Олдфилда, выпущенный в 1978 году. Альбом является своеобразным рубежом в его творчестве, после которого Олдфилд начал отходить в сторону более простой музыки.
В отличие от предыдущих трёх альбомов, Incantations состоит из четырёх частей, в альбоме есть лирика. Однако популярность Олдфилда начала падать: Incantations отметился лишь на 14 месте в UK Albums Chart. После выхода альбома Майк Олдфилд отправился в свой первый концертный тур.
- Innocent
I know youll never stay the same.
In time, most of us lose it.
But Im hoping, just the same,
Youll shine and learn how to use it.
Speak to me, like the very first speak.
You are magnificent when youre innocent.
Laugh to me, like the very first laugh.
You are from heaven sent when youre innocent.
- Let There Be Light
1:1 - In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
1:2 - And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
1:3 - And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
1:4 - And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
- Man On The Rocks
So you come to my world, I can show you
Where they lead to the footprints in the sand.
On the paths through the valleys and canyons,
To the veins in your arm, take my hand.
I’m the man on the rocks on the island.
The black pearl, the fool on the hill.
I’m the gold at the end of the rainbow.
- Moon like shadow
The last that ever she saw him,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
He passed on worried and warning,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Lost in a river that Saturday night,
Far away on the other side.
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
And she couldn't find how to push through.
- Moonlight Shadow
The last that ever she saw him,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
He passed on worried and warning,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Lost in a riddle that Saturday night ,
Far away on the other side.
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
And she couldn't find how to push through.
- Moonshine
Walking out on a stormy day
The cold wind, the fine sea spray
Looking out over Galway Bay
The troubled sky all dark and grey
Far from these shores there stands liberty
So let it be
But every while I would remember
- No Dream
An empty chair,
Is someone sitting there?
Footsteps on the ground.
Can you hear that sound?
Like a wild goose crying
On a lonely wind.
Whispering leaves
In the branches that bend.
- North Point
Have you ever been to North Point
To spend your time and pray?
The prison walls are dark and cold and grey.
The writing on the wall at North Point
Speaks to a silent room.
They shut the bars down, leave you to the gloom.
[ Chorus ]
- Nuclear
Standing on the edge of the crater
Like the phorphets once said and the ashes are cold now
No more bullets and the embers are dead
Whispers in the air telll the tales
Of the borthers gone
Desolation
Devastation
What a miss we made

- Poison Arrows
Silence in the air
Is anybody there?
Searching every sound
Walking on quiet ground
Somebody's out to get you
Hiding in shadows, poison arrows
Somebody's out to break you
- Sailing
Let me out, I can't breathe
Gotta get out of this concrete hole
I'm wrecked and I'm decked
I've gotta break free before I lose control
Cast the lines away
From the dock at the harbour bay
All those cares and worries and woes
- Sally
May I say one fine day
If you say you would we could run away
Just say goodbye with no cloud in the sky
This time sunshine we're gonna fly
You can hear the whistle blow
There's noone gonna know
Take my hand and
- See The Light
I been waiting at this frontier
And it seems like a hundred years,
But I couldn't see past the gate.
I couldn't see past the hate.
Now I'm coming back to my senses.
I can see a light past the fences,
Standing at the borderline.
I've come to the end of the line.
- Shadow on the Wall
Shadow on the wall!
Shadow on the wall!
Shadow on the wall!
Shadow on the wall!
Like a shadow on the wall!
Treat me like a prisoner,
Treat me like a fool.

- Sunlight Shining Through Cloud
Amazing grace! how sweet that sound
Has saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I'm found;
Was blind, but now I see.
- Talk About Your Life
Walking Out In The Street Light, Midnight.
Whisper Wind, Catch Me In The Headlight.
Talk About Your Life, I'd Like To Know.
It's Not Easy Going Where No-One Goes,
And No-One Knows.

We were blessed by the minister
Who practiced what he preached
We were blessed by the poor man
Who said heaven is within reach
We were blessed by the girl selling roses
Showed us how to live
We were blessed by the neglected child
Who knew how to forgive
