Альбом Status Quo

If I see you hiding in the night by a peppercorn tree
The tree it moves, lets me see what I wanna see
A poison gaze of your mind is all that's worrying me.

The pictures that I see are seen by no-one else but me
To cause the night to be in sight, a little point of me
I imagine nearly anything I want to see.

Black veils of melancholy falling on me
Black veils keep shadowing my mind
Black veils that make my mind seem small

Black veils of melancholy falling on me
Black veils keep shadowing my mind
Black veils that make my mind seem small

I see you with my eyes closed getting closer and closer to me
I open my eye up and you're not there
It's all in my mind

Black veils of melancholy falling on me
Black veils keep shadowing my mind
Black veils that make my mind seem small

Black veils of melancholy falling on me
Black veils keep shadowing my mind
Black veils that make my mind seem small

When my mind is not live I see you there before me
Every night in my mind your face flies by me
Then the morning light comes to bring reality
But my dream lingers on a little while for me

Then I wake to see a world full of misery
Lots of people rushing by, never know what they wanna be

Soon the day draws to it's end and pretty soon I'll be
Back with you in my mind because I want to see

When my mind is not live I see you there before me
Every night in my mind your face flies by me

I'll never get over you
No, I'll never get over you
I just can't keep it a secret any more, oh no, no

It wasn’t so long ago
When you told me you loved me so
Then you went and said goodbye and found another guy-i-i-i

I know somewhere, someday I'll find
One love to take your place
One girl with an angel face
But in the meantime

I'll never get over you
No, I'll never get over you
I just can't keep it a secret any more, oh no, no

I know somewhere, someday I'll find
One love to take your place
One girl with an angel face
But in the meantime

I'll never get over you
No, I'll never get over you
I just can't keep it a secret any more, oh no, no

Ill never get over you
No, I'll never get over you
I just can't keep it a secret any more, oh no, no, no
Oh no, no, no
Oh no, no, no

Elizabeth dreams of the day when the way
That I looked at her made her feel she was real
Elizabeth dreams of the time she was mine
When she didn't need any more, she was sure
She was sure

Out of sight, by candlelight
And sea green, and see green horses
I said she's out of sight by candlelight ??
And fairy, fairy stories
Elizabeth is not what she seems
Elizabeth dreams, Elizabeth dreams

Elizabeth dreams, holding fast through the past
When a morning was something new, flowers grew
Elizabeth dreams but it's late and she's waited too long
And tomorrow goes, now she knows
Now she knows

Out of sight by candlelight
And sea green, and sea green horses
I said she's out of sight, by candlelight
And fairy, fairy stories
Elizabeth is not what she seems
Elizabeth dreams, Elizabeth dreams
Elizabeth dreams

Elizabeth dreams, Elizabeth dreams
Elizabeth dreams

Hey Joe
Would you please lend me your ear?
I've got to know if everything's all right.
Hey Joe, have you seen my baby here?
Oh we used to share a table every night.
Hey Joe, she's the only girl who's ever
Meant anything at all
If I lose her I lose all

Joe, if you've seen her won't you say,
Or point in the direction she did go.

Every night, under the light of the moon
Under a table we'd choose, she'd take off her shoes
And rub her feet against mine

Joe, have you seen my baby here?
Oh we used to share a table every night.
Hey Joe, she's the only girl who's ever
Meant anything at all
If I lose her I lose all
Joe, if you've seen her won't you say,
Or point in the direction she did go.

Every night, under the light of the moon
Under a table we'd choose, she'd take off her shoes
And rub her feet against mine

Joe, would you please lend me your ear?
I've got to know if everything's all right.
Hey Joe, have you seen my baby here?
Oh we used to share a table every night

She was sold at the paradise flats
Tell me, what d'you think of that?
No goodbye, just a pat on the back

Well I know she's made her mind up
That she don't need me around
I'm trying just to see what you're trying to do to me
Your trying to screw me down
Right through the ground oh yeah

In paradise flats there's rooms for hire,
No-one cares who you are
You won't come back, it's too late now
You've been seen too much
I know what you are
You won't come back, no you won't come back

Well I know she's made her mind up
That she don't need me around
Oh I'm trying just to see what you're trying to do to me
Your trying to screw me down
Right through the ground oh yeah

I see your face at the dawn of the day, gold as the sun begins to shine
I see your face now at the end of the day, purple shadows dancing in your eyes.

Technicolour dreams are all I see
Technicolour dreams of you and me

I see your shadow tripping through a silver glade, tiptoeing over crimson sand
Luring me onwards into a sea of jade, leading me gently by the hand

Technicolour dreams are all I see
Technicolour dreams of you and me

If I could escape through the windows of my mind
I would fly to your magic mountain land
There we would stay 'til the world had passed away
With a love only we could understand

Technicolour dreams are all I see
Technicolour dreams of you and me

I see your face at the dawn of the day, gold as the sun begins to shine
I see your face now at the end of the day, purple shadows dancing in your eyes

Where is the sun that shone on my head
The sun in my life, it is dead, it is dead
Where is the light that would stay in my street
And where are the friends I could meet, I could meet

Where are the girls I left far behind
The spicks and the specks of the girls on my mind
Where is the sun that shone on my head
The sun in my life, it is dead, it is dead

Where are the girls I left far behind
The spicks and the specks of the girls on my mind
Where are the girls I left far behind
The spicks and the specks of the girls on my mind

Where is the girl I have loved all along
The girl that I love, she is gone, she is gone

All of my life I've tossed with the day
The spicks and the specks of my life gone away
All of my life I've tossed with the day
The spicks and the specks of my life gone away

Where is the sun that shone on my head
The sun in my life, it is dead, it is dead

Sweet little Sheila, you'll know her if you see her
Blue eyes and a ponytail
Cheeks are rosy, she looks a little mosey
Man, this little girl is fine

Never knew a girl like little Sheila
Her name drives me insane
Sweet little girl, that's my little Sheila
Man, this little girl is fine

Me and Sheila go for a ride
Feel funny inside
Then little Sheila whispers in my ear
I love you Sheila dear

Sheila said she loves me, she said she'd never leave me
True love that will never die
We're so doggone happy, just being around together
Man, this little girl is fine

Never knew a girl like little Sheila
Her name drives me insane
Sweet little girl, that's my little Sheila
Man, this little girl is fine

Me and Sheila go for a ride
Feel funny inside
Then little Sheila whispers in my ear
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I love you Sheila dear

Sheila said she loves me, she said she'd never leave me
True love that will never die
We're so doggone happy just being aorund together
Man, this little girl is fine
Man this little girl is fine
Yeah, this little girl is fine

Looking up to the cloud above my head
Your face concealed by purple mist that feels like lead
It slowly clears and at last my eyes are filled

Sunny cellophane skies
Silver writing my eyes
Bright sunny cellophane skies
I like the way you make me feel
Sensations I thought were unreal

Now you're life has gone
in this world I don't belong
Words are all I own
Now you're gone I'm all alone

Sunny cellophane skies
Silver writing my eyes
Bright sunny cellophane skies
I like the way you make me feel
Sensations I thought were unreal

Sunny cellophane skies
Silver writing my eyes
Bright sunny cellophane skies
I like the way you make me feel
Sensations I thought were unreal

Drop your silver in my tambourine
Help a poor man fill a little dream
Give me pennies, I'll take anything
Now listen while I play my green tambourine

Watch the jingle-jangles start to chime
Reflections of the music that was mine
When I toss a coin you'll hear it sing
Now listen while I play my green tambourine

Rub-a-dub before I walk away
Anytime you want, I'll gladly play
Money feeds my music machine
Now listen while I play my green tambourine
Listen while I play my green tambourine

When I look up to the sky
I see your eyes, a funny kind of yellow
I rush home to bed, I sunk my head
I see your face underneath my pillow
I wake next morning, tired still yawning
See your face come peeking through my window

Pictures of matchstick men and you
Mirages of matchstick men and you
All I ever see is them and you

Windows echo your reflection
When I look in their direction gone
When will this haunting stop
Your face, it just won't leave me alone

Pictures of matchstick men and you
Mirages of matchstick men and you
All I ever see is them and you

You in the sky, you with the sky
You make men cry, you lie

You in the sky, you with the sky
You make men cry, you lie

Picture of matchstick men and
Picture of matchstick men and
Picture of matchstick men and
