Gone Troppo 1982

Here I go again
Hear that knockin' won't you let me in
Only want that same old thing
Yet it's me here ring, ring, ring

I want your love
Wake up my love
And let it in

Well you know it's me out here
Can't give up now let us make that clear
All I've had's the run around
Though I'm barking like some hound

I want your love
Wake up my love
And let it in

I want your love
Wake up my love
And let it in

My life's been so many ways
Too much darkness gets me crazed
All around us people fight
Christ I'm looking for some light

Inside your love
Wake up my love
And let it in

I don't have no friends of mine
Who can swing me down that vine
Not much sense in what I do
That is why I'm calling you

Inside my love
Wake up my love
And let it in
I want your love
Wake up my love
And let it in
I want your love
Wake up my love
And let it in

There's a man talking on the radio
What he's saying I don't really know
Seems he's lost some stocks and shares
Stops and stares
He's afraid I know
That's the way it goes

There's a man talking of the promised land
He'll aquire it with some Krugerrand
Subdivide and deal it out
Feel his clout
He can stoop so low
And that's the way it goes

There's an actor who hopes to fit the bill
Sees a shining city on a hill
Step up close and see he's blind
Wined and dined
All he has is pose
And that's the way it goes

There's a fire that burns away the lies
Manifesting in the spiritual eye
Though you won't understand the way I feel
You conceal, all there is to know
That's the way it goes

(Yeah) You, I really really love you
Nobody else will do
That's why I love you
That's why, why, why

(Yeah) You, I really really love you
Nobody else will do
That's why I love you
That's why, why, why

Well babe you know I love you so
I'd pay the world if you could know
And when I see, you're comin' down the street
My heart skips (a) beat

You, I really really need you
But yet you play me for a fool
Why do you do me like you do, do, do
(Yeah)

Well babe you know I love you so
I'd pay the world if you could know
And when I see, you're comin' down the street
My heart skips (a) beat

You, I really really need you
But yet you play me for a fool
Why do you do me like you do
Why do you do me like you do
Why, why

There he, sitting in the moonlight
Not found, livin no city
He smile, mucho in a sunshine
High life, counting de fruit bat

Troppo, gone troppo, troppo
It's time you know I gone troppo

Plant me, in de Helicona
No thank, meeting de peoples
Wake me, eata the papaya
Much hot, not much on the body

Troppo, gone troppo, gone troppo
It's time you know I gone troppo

Warm sea, see right to the bottom
No like, shoveling snowfall
Good time, drinking on me bottle
The high wide Moreton Bay Fig

Troppo, gone troppo, troppo
It's time you know I gone troppo

Quite like, you ain't seen a sunset
Could be, living in Rain hill
Sun hot, you don't got a backache
Brown skin and very a peeling

Troppo, gone troppo, gone troppo
It's time you know I gone troppo

They say I'm not what I used to be
All the same
I'm happier than a willow tree
Shine or rain sitting here by a stream
(Mmm) There's nothing I'd rather feel
In this world
You and your sweet serenity
Rocking me
Melting my heart away

I know something so dear to me
Beyond words
Beautiful feeling in my soul
Sounds I've heard
Like humming birds in a dream
(Mmm) That mystical one I knew
Is returned
Lulling me with those raincloud eyes
Taking me
Melting my heart away

I am yes I am
I know what I feel
You came in my life
Made me more real

I know whatever we may have been
In past times
Has sorted the truth out from the rest
Win or lose
I always knew you'd be there
(Mmm) You answer my deepest prayer
In a song
Shimmering slowhand flowing clear
Moving me
Melting my heart away

I am yes I am
I know what I feel
You came in my life
Made me more real

(Mmm) That mystical one I knew
Is returned
Lulling me with those raincloud eyes
Taking me
Melting my heart away

Darkest deep brown eyes I've seen
Angel came into my dream
Like the morning's early light
You freshen all around
And with all the love you bring unknown delight

Sweetest innocence and free
God has given you the key
To the hearts of everyone
That comes in sight of you
And with all the love you bring unknown delight

Who have eyes will clearly see
And no one could disagree
A treasure of the world
A child, watching it grow
And with all the love will bring unknown delight

Repeat

Baby don't run away from me
Baby don't go
Baby I'm always thinking of you
Baby don't run away from my love

You brought me everything I've wanted
Lady don't go
How could I ever live without you
Lady don't run away from my love

Way out there where the ocean is still
A calm reflection in the sea
Sat alone with the stars and the moon
You turned round to me
And love was in your eyes to see
That's when it happened to you and me

Baby don't run away from me
Baby don't go
Baby I'm always thinking of you
Baby don't run away from my love

Way back then it was easy to see
A calm reflection in the sea
Sitting still and without any cares
You turned out to be
A lover who was sure of me
That's when it happened to you and me

Baby don't run away from me
Baby don't go
Baby I'm always thinking of you
Baby don't run away from my love

Midnight sunshine silent thunder
Sky as black as day
Only a dream away

Chorus

Waking while you're still deep sleeping
Finding you're not here
Watching a dream appear

Tumbling through a thousand centuries
You don't know where you'll land
It's so dark in mythology
Treasures of history to be found
Near the legends of time
All the handiworks remain there
Only a dream away

Chorus

Greedy feeling wheeling dealing
Losing what you won
See the dream come undone

Stumble you may with the elementary
Lucky you got so far
All you owe is apologies
Measure the mystery and astound
Without taking up time
So the handiworks remain there
Only a dream away

Chorus

In out, hot cold, up down, young old
What a lot to do
Sharing a dream with you

Chorus

Friends come and friends go
As I go round and round in circles

Love someone change your mind
Decide he was a swine
As you go round and round in circles

He who knows does not speak
He who speaks does not know
And I go round in circles

Dislike someone and will not bend
Later they may become your best friend
As life it goes around in circles

He who knows does not speak
He who speaks does not know
And I go round in circles

Soul takes on a body with each birth we make our date
With life and death along the road the soul reincarnates
The show goes round and round in circles

When loss and gain and up and down
Becomes the same, then we stop going in circles
Round and round in circles
