Simple Minds - Book of brilliant things

Thank you for the voice
The eyes and the memories shine
Thank you for the pictures of living
In the beautiful black and the white
Some say we'll be together
For a very long time
Some say that our first
Impressions never will lie

I open up to take a look
Into the bright and shiny book
Into the open scheme of things
Book of brilliant things
Book of brilliant things

I open up to take a look
Into the bright and shiny book
Into the open scheme of things
Book of brilliant things
Oh, book of brilliant things

I thank you for the shadows
It takes two or three to make company
I thank you for the lightning
That shoots up and sparkles in the rain

Some say this could be the great divide
Some day some of them say
That our hearts will beat
Like the wheels of the fast train
All around the world

I open up to take a look
Into the bright and shiny book
Into the open scheme of things
Book of brilliant things
Book of brilliant things I open up to take a look
Into the bright and shiny book
Into the open scheme of things
Book of brilliant things
Book of brilliant things

I open up to take a look
Into the bright and shiny book
Book of brilliant things
Book of brilliant things

Some say we can be together
For a very long time
Some say our hearts will beat
Like the wheels of a fast train
All around the world
All around the world
All around the world

Some say our hearts beat
Like the wheels of a fast train
All around the world
All around, around, around, around
All around the world

Our hearts beat like
The wheels of a fast train
A very long time
All around and all around and all around
And all around the world
Some say we'll be together
Some say

A very long time, some of them will say
A very long time, all around the world
