Chris de Burgh
Dieser Sänger begleitet mich schon seit vielen
Jahren durch Höhen und Tiefen.
Seine Musik ist abwechslungsreich, mal traurig -
gefühlvoll, und mal swingend oder rockig.

Sight And Touch

My girl wakes in her bed of night.
Dressed in silver and dressed in white.
She says she's having the strangest dreams
of another time and century.

And now she speaks of a far-off place.
A woman and a man are in a deep embrace:
don't they know it's against the law.
Well it must have been before the war.
Long before: it was

Real love and devotion - with sight and touch.
Real love and emotion - with sight and touch.
Real love and devotion, before the modern world:

She hears voices in her mind.
Talking of another world lost in time.
Before they took away the words.
That told us how we used to be.
Our history: words of

Real love and devotion - with sight and touch.
Real love and emotion - with sight and touch.
Real love and devotion, before the modern world;

And now we live in a two by four.
Never going outside through the door.
They're watching us on the videoline.
But we sit and wait until the night,
And in the night, we have

Sweet love and devotion - with sight and touch.
Real love and emotion - with sight and touch.
Sweet love and devotion, in such a modern world;

We're never going to be lonely - with sight and touch.
We're never going to be lonely - with sight and touch.
We're never going to be lonely in such a modern world...

The Head And The Heart

Let us talk no more, let us go to sleep,
Let the rain fall on the window pane,
And fill the castle keep,
I am weary now, weary to my bones,
Weary from the travelling,
And the endless country roads,
That brought us here tonight, for this weekend,
And a chance to work it out,
For we cannot live together, and we cannot live apart,
It's the classical dilemma between the head and the heart;

She is sleeping now, softly in the night,
And in my heart of darkness she has been the only light,
I am lost in love, looking at her face,
And still I hear the voice of reason,
Telling me to chase these dreams away,
Oh here we go again, we're divided from the start,
For we cannot live together, and we cannot live apart,
It's the classical dilemma between the head and the heart,
The head and the heart;

Now the dawn begins, and still I cannot sleep,
My head is spinning round but now the way is clear to me,
There is nothing left, nothing left to show,
The jury and the judge will see, it's time to let her go,
Now hear the heart,
I believe that time will show,
She will always be a part of my world,
I don't want to see her go,
So I plead my case to hear the heart,
And stay...

It's time to let her go - I don't want to let her go...
It's time to let her go - I don't want to let her go...
It's time to let her go - I don't want to let her go...
It's time to let her go...

And in this classical dilemma,
I find for - the heart.

Living On The Island

Day by day they drink and dream,
Old men staring out to sea,
From the island, living on the island;
And down in the harbour, it's a show,
Watching all the people as they come and go,
On the island, living on the island;
And up in the mountains, they're alright,
Tasting the first of the summer wine,
On the island, living on the island;
I wanna feel that sunshine in my heart,
And let it blow my worries away,
I wanna spend a night in the ocean with her,
That little lady lover who's in love with me,
Prettiest little lady that I've ever seen,
On the island, living on the island...
Ooh, and when I finally sail away,
I know for sure I'll be back someday,
On the island, living on the island,
On the island, living on the island,
I wanna feel that sunshine on my back,
On the island, living on the island,
On the island, we'll be living on the island,
I wanna feel that wind blow in my hair,
Living on the island...

Crying And Laughing

Searchlights, rain on the road,
Waiting for the airport limousine,
Your time in this foreign land,
Is nearly over, I'll never forget how

Last night, after he called,
You held me like you'd never let me go,
But your eyes are happy now,
And you are beautiful, you're ready to leave me,

Homeward, back to your world,
Back to the one who is there,
Go now, but go in love,
For it's the only way;

And you'll be crying, laughing,
Half a world away,
You'll be crying, laughing,
For the love we have,
When you go away...

Long ride, holding her hand,
Looking all the words we cannot speak,
One mile to the boulevard,
And the aeroplane that's waiting to take you

Homeward, back to your land,
Back to the one who is there,
Go now, but go in love,
For it's the only way,

And you'll be crying, laughing,
Half a world away,
You'll be crying, laughing,
For the love we have,
But you must go,
Crying, laughing,
Half a world away,
You'll be crying, laughing,
Don't forget me love,
When you go away...

I'm Counting On You

The night is so wild, and downstairs the child,
Is sleeping, her spirit is free,
For more than an hour, I have walked in the rain,
I've been wondering what she will be,
But where are the heroes, where are the dreams,
That I had, when I was young,
Am I hoping in vain, just to think,
She could change anything?
Well I'm counting on you;
I'm counting on you to bring that sweet gentleness,
To your world and all that you do,
My generation is losing its way,
We don't know, what we're leaving for you,
So may there be millions who feel like you do,
Oh my love,
There is so much to know,
There is so far to go,
But you are not alone,
When this is your world,
And I'm counting on you;
Come to me, turn to me, give me your eyes,
When you see the mysteries of time,
Here there are those who just live in the past,
They will never let history lie,
And this sad little island is breaking my heart,
With its dark,
Shades of green,
And as hard as I try, I just cannot see why,
This should be...
I'm counting on you,
There is so much to know,
There is so far to go,
But you are not alone,
When this is your world,
And I'm counting on you,
I'm counting on you...

Where Peaceful Waters Flow

Restless hearts, it has been along time,
Out here on the journey, for a glimpse of paradise,
It's getting hard to find a place to go,
Where peaceful water flow;

I took a walk past the old Saxon well,
Down by the cathedral I heard the chapel bell,
And joined the people singing for a way to go,
Where peaceful waters flow;

And if you don't know by now, you never will,
Only love can find the door,
If you could see it now, it's in your hand,
Only love can reach the shore to heaven,

Always, she is standing by my side,
She's my inspiration, and she's my battle cry,
And in her arms is the only place I know,
Where peaceful waters flow;

And if you don't know by now, you never will,
Only love can find the door,
If you could see it now it's in your hand,
Only love can reach the shore, forevermore,
Where peaceful waters flow. . .
