Chris de Burgh - The Storyman

I lived my life in the words of a Storyman
Watched my dreams from the years gone by
Heard my voice in the songs of a Storyman
Always by my side, always by my side

I saw him first in a castle by candlelight
Turning round with a golden key
I heard a train far away, and a whistle blow
Like a baby’s cry, ’twas like a baby’s cry

Ravens stood on the walls of Jerusalem
Sailors danced at the borderline
Light a fire on the road to the ferryman
Emotions running high, in the summertime

Take me back to the places I’ve never been
Take me back to another time
Take me back to a world I have never seen
Only in my mind, only in my mind Late last night I met up with a lady-love
Dressed in red, didn’t say goodbye
Carry me to the last time I showed her what
Tender hands can do, and I’ll be missing you

Take me back to the places I’ve never been
Take me back to another time
Take me back to a world I have never seen
Only in my mind, only in my mind

Follow the light that’s shining on to where we will be going
Up to Heaven, Paradise, or to the heart divine
It’s in the echoes of a child, waiting for the journey
The spirit of one world

Oh take me back to the places I’ve never been
Take me back to another time
Take me back to a world I have never seen
Only in my mind, only in my mind
I lived my life in the words of a Storyman
