I am a world before I am a man I was a creature before I could stand I will remember before I forget Before I forget that! Hold your breath And listen! It justifies my means All I have to do is delay

I will make my home here Know I was fine before, fine before, fine before My feet ever slow The age that takes me I'll slip out to the mountains Where nobody knows me Do you ever listen Did you know that We could make sounds?

You know we've told you before But you didn't hear us then So you still question why No you didn't listen again Sweet memories flashing very quickly by Reminding me and giving me a reason why I know that my goal is more than a thought I'll be there when

Sometimes good intentions It’s all talk, talk, talk Talkin' in the wind It only slows you down If you start listenin' And it’s a whole lot harder to shine Don’t come across so well

Sometimes good intentions It’s all talk, talk, talk Talkin' in the wind It only slows you down If you start listenin' And it’s a whole lot harder to shine Don’t come across so well

And all these things Now that I got your love girl I'll never ever give it up Ah wan' yuh listen up Because ah love it so much girl I'll always need your kiss and your touch De way you watch

I was a fool to fall and get that way Hi-ho, alas, and also lack-a-day Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss Old man sunshine listen you Never tell me dreams come true Just try it and I'll start a riot Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare Ever tell

Oh I hear you calling in the dead of night We'll be talking And I hear you calling in the dead of night Oh I feel overjoyed When you listen to my words Words are all we have These words are all we have I see them sinking in

My song of the end Take him back to Avalon Oh, I haven't been here for a while In blindness and decay The circle's been closed, now I've seen it all Listen crowd I'll tell you everything Though I have to say
