The Storyman

Chris de Burgh - The Storyman From the album: The Storyman (2006) Comment for any corrections and please rate I lived my life in the words of a Storyman Watched my dreams from the years gone by Heard my voice in the songs of a Storyman Always by my side always by my side I saw him first in a castle by candlelight Turning round with a golden key I heard a train far away and a whistle blow Like a baby’s cry ’twas like a baby’s cry Ravens stood on the walls of Jerusalem Sailors danced at the borderline Light a fire on the road to the ferryman Emotions running high in the summertime Take me back to the places I’ve never been Take me back to another time Take me back to a world I have never seen Only in my mind only in my mind Late last night I met up with a lady-love Dressed in red didn’t say goodbye Carry me to the last time I showed her what Tender hands can do and I’ll be missing you Take me back to the places I’ve never been Take me back to another time Take me back to a world I have never seen Only in my mind only in my mind Follow the light that’s shining on to where we will be going Up to Heaven Paradise or to the heart divine It’s in the echoes of a child waiting for the journey The spirit of one world Oh take me back to the places I’ve never been Take me back to another time Take me back to a world I have never seen Only in my mind only in my mind     I lived my life in the words of a Storyman...
