Lyrics Forever

Cliff Richard - Silvery rain



Cliff Richard - Silvery rain

(Lyrics and music by Hank Marvin - 1971)

Butterflies danced on invisible strings
Showing wings they borrowed from a rainbow
And a blackbird on high sang a praise to the sky
While a light aeroplane sprayed the fields with a silvery rain
Furry backed bees with a tireless drone
Never moan, they're happy to be working
And a grasshopper green could be heard but not seen
While a light aeroplane sprayed the fields with a silvery rain
Chorus:
Fly away, Peter, fly away, Paul, before there's nothing left to fly at all
Take to the sky, higher than high, before the silvery rain begins to fall
Nothing moves now but the swaying ripe corn
Not a dawn is greeted with a bird's song
There's a feather or two from a bird that once flew
Before a light aeroplane sprayed the fields with a silvery rain
chorus
(Instrumental break)

Cliff Richard - Sing a song of freedom



Cliff Richard - Sing a song of freedom

As I look around me I see the world
In a different light
Everything is changing and it happened
One night
Changing for the better and it starts
With you and me
So we'll sing our song together and forever
We'll be free

Sing a song of freedom
People together everybody sing
Sing a song of freedom each and everyman
People come together all across the land

If you're looking for an answer
It's very close hand
Just take a look around you and
Then you'll understand
Clap your hands together and let
Me hear the sound
It's the time for liberation so pass
The world around

Cliff Richard - The sleep of the good



Cliff Richard - The sleep of the good

No-one can touch you now - no

No-one can harm you, you're finally free

Your passion all spent

Your savage intent

To break away meant to break me

Oh Cathy - the game you played!

Oh Cathy - you've paid

I've been betrayed

I try to find the words to justify

All that you've put ille through

What gave you the right

To leave me?

When you

You knew

I loved you

I pray you find some peace at last

The sleep of the good

If only you could


Only my life remains - cold

This is a winter will never know spring

As time and again

I try to contain

The anger and pain that you bring

Oh Cathy my reckless one!

Oh Cathy, - it's done

The long night's begun

You lie so close,so calm, so motionless

I can almost believe

You're still in my arms

Within me

So near

To hear

I loved you

I pray I find some peace at last

The sleep of the good

If only I could

Cliff Richard - Slow river



Cliff Richard - Slow river

The weather man, he looks confused.
Shakes his fist at the sky like you used to do.
But you don't remember things like that, do you?
The balance was uneven but I'm breaking through.

Slow rivers run cold,
Shallow waters never sank so low.
I thought I'd drown and you'd never know,
You're a slow river and you run so cold.

The winter here don't belive in god,
The bitter wind just bites through me like a wild dog.
I still see in your eyes tonight like headlights through the fog,
But one foot in your door, oh that's all I ever got.

Slow rivers run cold,
Shallow waters never sank so low.
I thought I'd drown and you'd never know,
You're a slow river and you run so cold.

Chances are you'll reappear.
Swim my way in a flood of tears,
No place to hide your conscience
So you're a sinking ship with no place to go.

Slow rivers run cold,
Shallow waters never sank so low.
I thought I'd drown and you'd never know,
You're a slow river and you run so cold.

Cliff Richard - Small world



Cliff Richard - Small world

Children seem to have no choice
The children have got no voice
They're merely living to grow old
Letting their days unfold
And it's time that you and i
Realised that by and by

These children grow up into men
It is clear what we must do
What the lord has told us to
Give our brothers a chance
To be born again

It's a small world, a small world
When you see it through
A pair of haitian eyes
It's a small world, a small world
When the dreams you dream
Melt into haitian skies

It's just not good enough to say
That the trouble's too far away
Cos the little that you need to give
Could help a little child to live

Help them live a little longer
Help them grow a little stronger
So why not play a part
If you're ever gonna do
What the lord has told us to
It's got to begin within your heart

It's a small world, a small world
When you reach out and touch
A stranger
From where you stand
It's a small world, a small world
When you can forge another link
In a far off land

Repeat last two lines

It's a small world, a small world
When you can forge another link
In a far off land
