Ever since I was 16 I wished that spring would come to me And I wished that I could dance up on the isles Sweat rivers on a stage of steam I let my thoughts begin to dream I held my breath and ran into the wild
And each night a horizon grew In all of us or just a few Til morning’s gold would make it disappear Yet somewhere in my treasured chest Is not forgot what must forget But that’s a feeling for another year
And movement has a way like words You’re there before the rhyme is heard And all that one can do is shape the ride The miles of a forgotten dream Are yours my love it’s where we’ve been And maybe one day soon we will arrive
Playing all night loud Playing all night loud Sing it all night with me All night loud
And we went on a whirlwind trip The nights unwound the records flipped And stillness came like chaos in the lights And voices like devotion flew Across the sea from me to you In music that I still cannot describe
And there were ugly times it’s true Some from me and some from you And devils have a way of digging down But a friend is not a friend for life Unless your life is worth the strife So hold on we’ll be alright
Playing all night loud Playing all night loud Sing it all night with me All night loud
There’s a speech that I know well Was told by Henry V I’ll tell A version that relates to us not war ‘He who sheds his sweat with me Will be my friend eternally From this day to the ending of the world!’
No matter if we’re young or old Or in the sun or in the cold I hope I can remember your bright eyes Cos I know you and you know me At least somehow mysteriously So thank you my dear friends and that’s goodnight
I’m much obliged I’m much obliged So thank you my dear friends and that’s goodnight
I’m much obliged I’m much obliged So thank you my dear friends and that’s good night
