LOVE WILL FLOW [words and music Nick Taylor] There was this girl I got to know Once upon a TV show She asked me didI know “The Little Prince” I was young and foolish She was young and wise And a little boy brought tears of joy to me And I have loved that story ever since There was this gift of love we shared Once upon another time When for a while I couldn't fly away I was wild, she tamed me And like the fox I cried And through the tears I still can hear her say Sometimes what's real you cannot see It's like a silent river in your heart, so let it be CHORUS And love will flow .. and love will grow And love will be with you wherever you may go For love is you .. and love is me When you're in love, love is everywhere you see And love will fly .. and you and I Will rise and shine like stars in love's eternal sky Love will fly .. and you and I Will rise and shine like stars in love's eternal sky INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE So my world is beautiful because I know Somewhere there's a girl who long ago Tamed me .. showed me That when you love you must let go CHORUS And love will flow .. and love will grow And love will be with you wherever you may go For love is you .. and love is me When you're in love, love is everywhere you see And love will fly .. and you and I Will rise and shine like stars in love's eternal sky Love will fly .. and you and I Will rise and shine like stars in love's eternal sky

CROIX DE FLEUR [Music and Lyrics - Nick Taylor] When we were young in fields of green My friend and I would play And I remember well the words My friend would sometimes say “Please promise me you never will Forget these happy hours And when I die please let me lie Beneath a cross of flowers” The war we fought is best forgot In far off foreign lands For me the ice and sleet and snow For him the desert sands And when the cannons roar was still They laid his shattered bones Watched over by a desert sky Beneath a cross of stones CHORUS 1 The guns of war may thunder, and blow our youth away Like petals in a storm they fly, some to rest and one to lie Forever in my heart .. forever in my heart And in the autumn of my years I went to find my friend To say farewell as old friends should When life is near it’s end And in the desert night I dreamed Of gentle cooling showers And when I woke between the stones There bloomed a cross of flowers CHORUS 2 The guns of war still thunder, and call our youth away They lie at rest in foreign lands, in fields of green and desert sands Beneath a cross of flowers .. beneath a cross of flowers

A MILLION MANDELAS [words and music Nick Taylor] There was a man who cast a long shadow I never spoke to him .. I never shook his hand But I loved him .. like he was my brother He walked a road .. no one woud choos All those years .. in the wilderness of pain Parched by the sun .. chilled by the rain But deep inside he knew .. it was all for you and me That one day we'd be free Though he is gone .. his legend lives on For all who knew his name .. all who shook his hand And who loved him .. like he was their brother But be not sad my friend .. nothing is wasted It was always he who was free And we .. who were in captivity And though we may not see them in our time Among your children and mine CHORUS A million Mandelas .. will rise someday A million hearts and minds to show the way A million Mandelas who understand What it means to see his promised land I know a man who cast a long shadow Never spoke to him .. never shook his hand But I loved him .. like he was my brother And all whose hearts he touched .. with his wisdom Are the seeds that grow but slowly In fields of love .. where life is holy And when the time has come to blossom free Our hearts will sing in harmony CHORUS A million Mandelas .. will rise someday A million hearts and minds to show the way A million Mandelas who understand What it means to see his promised land A MILLION MANDELAS

AFRICA GOODBYE [Words and music Nick Taylor] The entrance hall is dusty and hot .. and all I feel is pain I hurry through to wait and read a magazine But words on paper .. dissolve in vapour And tears begin to fall This is it .. this is the final call Africa goodbye .. I never dreamed the day Would come when I'd be standing here ..soon be on my way Africa farewell .. now the die is cast The point of no return between the future and the past Ah ah ah Africa goodbye .. they're opening up the gate I smile to think it had to be this once we won't be late Africa I feel .. like one condemned to death The sound the scent the feel of you I savour my last breath Like strangers in a storm we sheltered for a while And were we not together When we walked the same road side by side But we come from different places in the heart you and I Our way of looking at the world Is worlds apart and in your heart We both know it's true my bru .. don't we mfuwethu So Africa goodbye .. Phoenix like I fly From far away I still can see the sadness in your eye Africa don't cry .. I won't take anything I even leave my love for you in this.. the song I sing The winter sky is cloudy and grey .. the windows flecked with rain And we both know I won't be coming back again .. no never again Africa goodbye .. Africa goodbye .. Africa goodbye ...Africa goodbye ..

INHERIT THE EARTH [words and music Nick Taylor] Just before the dawn .. one early early morning I went out along the hill above my hometown Must’ve been a holiday .. All was silent on my way Not a single bell rang out .. from the sleeping town One lonely dove .. cooed out a song From way across the valley First one then two, before I knew Thousands cooed in harmony And all around the world was singing And everywhere the sound was ringing A song without a word and yet I heard The meaning loud and clear Oh the eagles may fly high and wide But the doves shall inherit the earth And when the power of words is broken The meaning of the world unspoken A song so loud and clear we all shall hear The meek will show the way Oh the eagles may fly high and wide But the doves shall inherit the earth Instrumental verse 2nd half And when the guns of war have thundered And when the dogs of war have plundered When nothing more remains and silence reigns The meek will show the way Then the eagles may fly high and wide But the doves shall inherit the earth

SING INTO YOUR HEART [words and music Nick Taylor I played guitar .. my six string orchestra And they were golden times You laughed at all my lines True as god you know I really loved you then But if you ever heard the words that I was singing It never showed .. and out there on the road I sang my songs for you .. the only way I knew And anyone who ever had the chance Could always find a way to make you dance .. but I'd sing into your heart because in your heart Is where I want to be I'd sing into your dreams and when your dreams were through I'd stay with you .. Simple .. uncomplicated that's how it should be I'd be loving you the same As when you didn't know my name Cos I .. sing into your heart Times roll by .. weeks turn into years And though the feeling's gone Life still carries on Sometimes they ask me do I miss it all And you know for the life of me I can't remember But now and then my fingers touch the keys And how my spirit flies .. tears come to my eyes Suddenly you're listening to my song And I'm up here .. back where I belong And I'll sing into your heart because in your heart Is where I want to be I'll sing into your dreams and when your dreams are through I'll stay with you .. I sing into your heart .. because in your heart Is where I want to be I sing into your dreams and when your dreams are through I stay with you .. Cos I .. sing into your ..heart

DRY YOUR EYES [words and music Nick Taylor] You were nine .. I was ten I wonder if you still remember when We held hands .. first time around I promised I would always be With you when you needed me When all around you didn't care And you cried out I was there I remember how I said to you Dry your eyes .. You'll get through You grew up .. so did I Sweet birds of youth who knew not how to fly You went your way .. so did I I promised I would stay in touch I wanted to so very much And when my life just fell apart I cried to hide a broken heart And through the tears I heard these words from you Dry your eyes .. You'll get through Through everything that happened to You and me separately There was always one thing we both knew So when our lives fell apart You and I didn't die You had me and I ... had you You are old .. so am I We sit and watch this crazy world go by We hold hands .. as old folks do And if I can remember to I promise to look after you And though our time for dreams is past We live each day like it's our last And through the tears the words come shining through Dry your eyes .... I love you

PIA'S SONG [Words and music Nick Taylor] What if I wake up in a fright Lie in bed at dead of night Feeling so alone that I could cry Outside the world just keeps on turning Every bridge behind me's burning What if life's already gone and passed me by What if all my good friends were gone I was left to carry on And that was just the way it had to be What if I said hey not a chance you Can't tell me what drum I dance to Cos my friends mean more than all the world to me If you want to have a friend You have got to be a friend And you will always be a friend of mine So what .. if it may rain tomorrow Something tells me sun will follow You take the weather everywhere you go So what .. hey clouds you get behind me Wanna be where my friends can find me Cos I love you more than you will ever know If you want to have a friend You have got to be a friend And you will always be a friend of mine So what .. if it may snow tomorrow Something tells me sun will follow You take the weather everywhere you go So what .. hey clouds you get behind me Wanna be where friends can find be Cos I love you more than you will ever know Cos I love you more than you will e v e r know
