Blue Blue Sky I
(Bairnson) I only know what I can see So I imagine what could be Where the horizon cuts the air Look for me out there Someday I'll touch the blue blue sky Someday I'll touch the blue blue sky Vocal Eric Stewart Acoustic Guitar Ian BairnsonToo Close To The Sun
(Parsons, Bairnson, Elliott) There must be a thousand ways Holding us within this maze Every path we take leads us astray Comfort me my only son Till the day my work is done There's no earthly reason we should stay And when the wind gets under these wings You will feel what freedom brings Stay right by me, walk don't run I don't want you flying too close to the sun Turn your eyes towards the light Steal away in silent flight The skies are calling out to you and me Over sea and over land God protect us with your hand Bring us safely to our destiny And now the wind is under our wings We can taste what freedom brings Stay right by me, walk don't run I don't want you flying too close to the sun God forgive his fall from grace The sea conceals his resting place Can we learn to stay behind the line If we have the means to fly Some of us will surely die Being reckless was his only crime And now the wind is under our wings We can taste what freedom brings Stay right by me, walk don't run I don't want you flying too close to the sun Vocal Niel Lockwood Guitars Ian Bairnson Drums Stuart Elliott Bass John Giblin Keyboards Gary Sanctuary, Richard Cottle and Alan Parsons Saxophone Richard CottleBlown By The Wind
(Bairnson) All along the shoreline There are footprints by the sea They head into the distance... Then they lead right back to me I made the break to freedom Now I'm following the dream You're never going to get here If you hold the old routine Now everything we possess That fills our empty lives Is only good for leaving far behind We are blown by the wind Just like clouds in the sky We don't know where we're going, Don't know why We just ride with the wind And we'll drive through the rain We don't where we'll get to Or if we'll get back again Call along the valley And you just may find us there I couldn't say for certain Cause we may be anywhere Head into the sunset Or just wander out to sea Wherever your heart leads you Is the place you're meant to be And someone who could be impressed With ordinary lies Could really use a little peace of mind We are blown by the wind Just like clouds in the sky We don't know where we'll go, But we'll get by We just ride with the wind And we'll drive through the rain We don't where we'll get to Or if we'll get back again Now everything we possess That fills our empty lives Is only good for leaving far behind We are blown by the wind Just like clouds in the sky We don't know where we're going, Don't know why We just ride with the wind And we'll drive through the rain We don't where we'll get to Or if we'll get back again Vocals Eric Stewart Guitars Ian Bairnson Drums Stuart Elliott Bass John Giblin Keyboards Gary SanctuaryCloudbreak (Instrumental)

(Bairnson) Another passenger "Your baggage thank you sir" I don't wanna go What am I doing here I feel so sick with fear God don't let it show I must control myself You must control me too Cover my eyes cause I'm so high I can't look down I'm scared to fly and I'm so high I can't look down They say they'll care for me But I would rather be Both feet on the ground What if the engine dies These are no Friendly Skies' My head's spining round It's all a twist of fate But it's myself I hate Cover my eyes cause I'm so high I can't look down Afraid to fly and I'm so high I can't look down I must control myself You must control me too Cover my eyes cause I'm so high I can't look down Afraid to fly and I'm so high I can't look down I can't look down..... Vocals Niel Lockwood Guitars Ian Bairnson Drums Stuart Elliott Bass John Giblin Keyboards Gary Sanctuary and Richard CottleBrother Up In Heaven
(Bairnson) A boy flies for freedom But dies for the peace In the clouds, he waits for an answer But there's no release It's strange here without you And it's so hard to see So brother up in heaven Please wait up for me Oh brother up in heaven Please wait up for me I still see his shadow His laugh lingers on When I dream, we're all back together When I wake, he's gone It's strange here without you This was not ment to be So brother up in heaven Please wait up for me And though we try to change the world A flower when it's cut will surely die So why do men with so much hate Destroy what they cannot create While we all stand by We will look back in anger But you helped us to see So brother up in heaven Please wait up for me Oh brother up in heaven Please wait up for me Vocal Niel Lockwood Acoustic Guitar Ian Bairnson Drums Stuart Elliott Bass Ian Bairnson Piano Gary Sanctuary The Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Andrew Powell (Dedicated to Erik Mounsey 1965-1994)Fall Free
(Bairnson, Elliott, Parsons) What's the use of worrying If we'll be here tomarrow All we need to be is here today Don't care if you're rich Or if you have to beg and borrow You can always find a way Dive and breakaway Fall free Freedom's in the air It's calling you Your heart is there Fall free Blaze accross the sky The perfect fall The perfect high Mother earth looks peaceful As we climb towards the ceiling We must be ten thousand feet or more Hear the windrush screaming While we fight to curb our feelings As we stand beside the door Let our spirits soar Fall free Freedom's in the air It's calling you Your heart is there Fall free Blaze accross the sky The perfect fall The perfect high Vocal Steve Overland Guitars Ian Bairnson Drums Stuart Elliott Bass John Giblin Keyboards Gary Sanctuary and Richard Cottle Additional Backing Vocals Peter Beckett (Inspired by Rob Harris, World Champion Skysurfer)Apollo (Instrumental)

(Bairnson) We say welcome to the mission Show us all what you can do We need a man with vision So we put our trust in you And now we hope sincerely That you'll do the best that you can do Oh for sure it won't be easy And we will have to risk our lives Some will try to break us And cut us down to size But jsut remember There can be no consolation prize Not in our eyes It's a long way to go We can't wait one more day We need someone to light up the way We may run out of time Can you hear what we say? Because heaven is so far away Although time is getting short There's still some sand left in the glass And now we have a living breathing Rocket man at last It's time to take a step And nail our colours to the mast No more talk of great adventures When it's movement that we need It must be our intention That we never loose the lead So count us down to zero And let's get up to speed We're up and away It's a long way to go We can't wait one more day We need someone to light up the way We may run out of time So believe what we say? Because heaven is so far away And so now they cry for justice As if justice will be done But the eye up in the sky Was flying to close to the sun The Challenger has fallen And the race has now been run....

(Elliott, English) Where does a dream belong Locked in the mind on the edge of time Like a ship lost in a storm How do we find the key Longing to see, through the artist's eye Maybe only birds can fly The man must be insane who knows A mind alive with images so strange So close but never rode the sky Watching the birds as they sail on the wind Trying to figure out the reason why Picturing wings held together with string One day to fly Someone said and I believe Try if you dare, you can walk on air A dream is all you need A circle that takes you high Lighter than air as the Earth goes by Through a spiral in the sky The man must be insane who knows A mind alive with images so strange So close but never rode the sky Watching the birds as they sail on the wind Trying to figure out the reason why Picturing wings held together with string Just a charcoal sketch on canvas Made them laugh but now they see That the artist had a vision That the wind could set us free It's a bridge until tomarrow Taking us beyond the sun As the artist paints his picture The story's just begun Analyzing, criticizing Fear of the unknown Theorizing, visualizing The road to take us home If it takes forever Someone's gonna fly We may never get to heaven But still we're gonna try Watching the birds As they sail on the wind One day to fly Vocals- Graham Dye Guitars Ian Bairnson Drums Stuart Elliott Bass John Giblin Piano and Keyboards Gary Sanctuary The Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Andrew PowellBlue Blue Sky II
(Bairnson) I only know what I can see So I imagine what could be Where the horizon cuts the air Look for me out there Someday I'll touch the blue blue sky Someday I'll touch the blue blue sky If I could kiss the Earth goodbye And cruse the never ending sky Where the horizon cuts the air Wait for me down there Someday I'll touch the blue blue sky Someday I'll touch the blue blue sky Vocal Eric Stewart Acoustic Guitar Ian Bairnson Bongos Stuart Elliott The Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Andrew Powell All tracks published by BMG music Inc except "One Day To Fly" published by BMG music Inc/Warner Chappell Music Ltd Executive Producers- Alan Parsons, Ian Bairnson, and Stuart Elliott for Parsonics Ltd.
