Change(remastered) lyrics

I run for my life
Under the black sunlight
On deserted streets
Uneasy dreams I sleep
In this forgitten place
I'm a forgotten face
Sometimes I don't exist
Like the dust swept aside

Fade away on the wind fadeaway
To walk away into the tide walkaway

That's the end
That's the end
The end of the great black gold
That's the dream
That's the dream
The dream that I wake up to

Do you wake up in the middle of the night
Find your eyes are on full beam
Totally wired
Sweat stains and troubled dreams
Your throat is burnin' dry
Caught in your worst nightmare
You cannot deny

And now you've become
What you said you'd never become
Hate yourself for all the things you've never done
You tell yourself you're too old
I know you're still young
You're wanting to scream

Change upon faces
Changing hands
Change in my father
And my fathers land

Change, change
Change, change, change, change, change

Change in the weather
And it flies through a flag
Change in the places
I knew as a lad

Change, change
Change, change, change, change, change

Change on the mountain
Where green was turned black
Change on the valleys
That take it all back

Picture you on a pedestal
So avant-garde of mind
Standing in the last ditch
Where fallen heroes lie
Stand to the left of centre
Stand to the right sometimes
All good politicians
Speak in riddles and in rhymes
I'm looking under tables
I'm looking under chairs
Been searching for an answer
Been searching everywhere

Yeah

Day by day
Hour by hour
Who's gonna fly my flag

Hardland ripped & torn apart
Hard dreams leave scarred
In the lines of my face
The story of faith
Hardland

I came back
Home to a hardland
Where a man is judged
By the scars on his face
Where that sliding scale still operates
To come home, I had to go away from here

HARDLAND

I saw a land
Standing at the crossroads
I saw her wrath
Burning in a burned out home
Saw her tears

Once you held your finger on the trigger
Now the gun is pointing at your head
Once you reigned supreme
Over all that you could see
Now you walk on the other side of the street

How the mighty fall
I've seen it all before
From the highest heights
To the lowest of lows
How the mighty fall

Once your words were the first and last on the subject
Now they hang like a noose around your neck

Love can give you everything
Then take it all away
She can take you to the water
She can make you thirst for days
Tell you what you want to hear
In the same breath she can steal
And that's why love don't come easy

Love can take you to the mountain
Love can make it move
Love can shine her burning torchlight
In the bed of fools
Love can be your witness
She is judge as she condemns

Pit shaft wheels turn for the last time
In the Rhondda tonight
The Davey lamps that shone so brightly
There's no more need for their light
As the last piece of coal is cut
From the belly of the black seamed hole
A man walks home alone
Past a church full of mourning souls
Throughout his lifetime he has fought
He has given his life
In tears the congregation sing
Cwm Rhondda Oh my Lord

A thousand miles before us
Long is the road
The mountain high
And the valley low
Our love is stronger than we know

In the tears of a river
I see the wrong
Hear the mountain cry
Cry anger
Feel the pain in the valley below

I want to run
Where the sunlight beats on my face
I want to feel
The wind in my hair

THERE ARE NO FRONTIERS
That we can't cross tonight

Outside in ruthless city canyons
Rivers of people oveflow

Gunshots in the skyway valley madness
Ricochet as my mind starts to implode

Oh no, no

Help me
Help me
I'm trapped in a Prison without prison bars

Help me
Help me
I'm trapped in a Prison without Prison bars

Everyday someone's trying to sell me something
Through coloured images flashing on my t.v. screen

Early one morning
Across the fields of dawn
Crooked is the shadow
That falls on my land
Storm clouds overhead
Like birds of prey in wait
How can we undo
What cannot be undone
I feel the darkness heavy
Heavy on my heart
There's distance between us
Tearing us apart

How many rivers must I cross?
Somehow, somewhere I will find a way
How many rivers must I cross?

I
Dream in red
Of the things
That this world could be
And is not
I
Walk in the glow
Of a thousand candles
Burning, burning slow
Sunrise
Sunset
Daylight
Daybreak
Watching
Waiting
Hoping
Asking
Begging
Pleading
Shouting

Scarlet Rage
Scarlet Rage
Scarlet Rage
Scarlet Rage
Scarlet

Blood
On the page
Of a thousand words
I've written
Can't express
I
Walk in the light

I'm a man who bites hard on the bullet of silence
If only you could feel the pain I hide
Know me, like I know you

Still water running deep in the cavern of my soul
So many roads lead nowhere
Know me, like I know you

Like a rock, waves clash over me
Standing silent, waiting to be set free

The rock, the rock, the rock
Will never let you down
The rock will never fall

Home where my heart beats
Where my love waits for me
Where the winds of change
Howl into my face

There's rain off the headlands
Closes in by day
Don't cry, don't cry
Wipe you tears away

The rivers are rising
There is a flood in me

I can feel the heat
In the air that I breathe

Home
WHERE A TOWN ONCE STOOD
Home
Before a storm
Home
WHERE A TOWN ONCE STOOD
Home
