Late Lament - The Moody Blues

بأبي، بأبي بأبي مَن ذُبتُ فِيهِ كَمَداً بأبي بأبي مَنْ مُتُّ مِنهُ فَرَقا بأبي حمرة ُ الخجلة ِ في وجنتهِ وضحُ الصُّبحِ يناغي الشَّفقا، الشَّفقا بأبي غادروني بالأثيلِ والنَّقَّا غادروني بالأثيلِ والنَّقَّا غادروني بالأثيلِ والنَّقَّا غادروني بالأثيلِ والنَّقَّا من لبثِّي، من لوجدي، من لوجدي دلَّني من لحزني، من لحزني من لصبٍّ عشقا كلما ضنتُ تباريحَ الهوى فَضَحَ الدّمعُ الجَوَى والأرَقَا غادروني بالأثيلِ والنَّقَّا غادروني بالأثيلِ والنَّقَّا غادروني بالأثيلِ والنَّقَّا غادروني بالأثيلِ والنَّقَّا فإذا قلتُ: هبوا لي نظرة ً! قِيلَ ما تُمنَعُ إلاّ شَفَقا بأبي، بأبي بأبي

Every time I hear the sound of the rain Beating on my roof again I want to taste your love And I want to go deep Deep, I want to go deep Deep, I want to go deep Every time I lift my eyes to the sky Something in my heart asks why I want to know the truth And I want to go deep Deep, I want to go deep Deep, I want to go deep Like the footprints Disappearing from the sand I try to catch the thought It slips right through my hand And as the darkness Throws its cloak upon the ground I start to run to you I've got to take you down I want to go deep Deep, I want to go deep Deep, I want to go deep Every time I feel I'm losing my way The power of your love remains I want to touch your love And I want to go deep Deep, I want to go deep Deep, I want to go deep

Heart and soul took control Took control of me Paid my dues spread the news Hands across the sea Put me down turned me round Turned me round to see Marble halls open doors Someone found the key And it's only what you do That keeps coming back on you And it's only what you say That can give yourself away Underground sight and sound Human Symphony Heard the voice had no choice Needed to be free Fly me high touch the sky Left the earth below Heard the line saw the sign Knew which way to go Cos it's easier to try Than to prove it can't be done And it's easier to stay Than to turn around and run It's a blue world It takes somebody to help somebody Oh it's a blue world It's a new world It needs somebody to love somebody Oh it's a blue world Heart and soul took control Took control of me Paid my dues spread the news Hands across the sea Put me down turned me round Turned me round to see Marble halls open doors Someone found the key And it's only what you do That keeps coming back on you And it's only what you say That can give yourself away Cos it's easier to try Than to prove it can't be done And it's easier to stay Than to turn around and run It's a blue world It takes somebody to help somebody Oh it's a blue world It's a new world It needs somebody to love somebody Oh it's a blue world It's a blue world It takes somebody to help somebody Oh it's a blue world It's a new world It needs somebody to love somebody Oh it's a blue world

When the sun goes down and the clouds all frown Night has begun for the sunset See it with your eyes, Earth's re-energized By the sun's rays everyday Take a look out there, planets everywhere When the sun goes down and the clouds all frown Night has begun for the sunset Shadows on the ground never make a sound Fading away in the sunset Night has now become day for everyone I can see it all from this great height I can feel the sun slipping out of sight And the world still goes on through the night Twilight time to dream awhile In veils of deepening blue As fantasy strides over colourful skies Of form disappearing from view In twilight time dream with me awhile A nightingale plays a dark mellow phrase Of notes that are rich and so true An aerial display by the firefly brigade Dancing to tunes no one knew In twilight time dream with me awhile In twilight time dream with me awhile Building castles in the air Whistling to the wind As nature bows down her head See what tomorrow brings Twilight time, dream with me awhile Bats take to wing like puppets on string Prancing through cool evening air In a sightless glide, no reason to hide Away from the sun's blinding stare In twilight time dream with me awhile

Dear Diary, what a day it's been Dear Diary, it's been just like a dream Woke up too late, wasn't where I should have been For goodness sake What's happening to me? Write lightly, yours truly, dear Diary It was cold outside my door So many people by the score Rushing around so senselessly They don't notice there's people like me Write lightly, yours truly, dear Diary They don't know what they're playing No, they've no way of knowing what the game is Still they carry on Doing what they can Outside me, impolitely, dear Diary It's over, will tomorrow be the same? I know that they're really not to blame If they weren't so blind then surely they'd see There's a much better way for them to be Inside me, yours truly, dear Diary Dear Diary, it was cold today But the sun came out later So I went out and strolled about looking at the shops Didn't really see anything I liked so I didn't buy anything On the way home, I posted a letter Been quite a nice day Somebody exploded an H-bomb today But it wasn't anybody I knew
