Way to Mandalay - Blackmore's Night & Joe Lynn Turner

Save me from drowning in the sea Beat me up on the beach What a lovely holiday There's nothing funny left to say This sombre song won't drain the sun But it won't shine until it's sung No water running in the stream The saddest place we've ever seen Everything I touched was golden Everything I loved got broken On the road to mandalay Every mistake I've ever made Has been rehashed and then replayed As I got lost along the way Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom badom There's nothing left for you to give The truth is all that you're left with Twenty paces then at dawn We will die and be reborn I like to sleep beneath the trees Have the universe at one with me Look down the barrel of a gun And feel the moon replace the sun Everything we've ever stolen Has been lost, returned or broken No more dragons left to slay Every mistake I've ever made Has been rehashed and then replayed As I got lost along the way Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom badom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom badom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom badom Save me from drowning in the sea Beat me up on the beach What a lovely holiday There's nothing funny left to say

There stains on your sweater So take mine so you won't be cold I'll clasp your hand in my other hand To fill the mold And I can feel my heart flutter Heaven knows you can change another's Way to Love Way to Love I try to remember the way I felt Without you It was days of slumber Heartbreak for a month or two But when you hold me in your arms I'm falling And when you look at me I'm always crushing And everything with you Feels brand new If I could take away the words they said to you Throw it away I'd take it away The words that they said to you Throw it away It doesn't matter if they echo through The walls the floors the window It won't get through if you let go Your words are safe with me Just take my sleeve It takes a minute to smile when I'm with you Like we're back at the cabin The place where I fell for you And I could stare at you a million times And I would walk or run a million miles To see your face Whatever it takes If I could take away the words they said to you Throw it away I'd take it away The words that they said to you Throw it away It doesn't matter if they echo through The walls the floors the window It won't get through if you let go Your words are safe with me Just take my sleeve Ahhhhhhhh ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhhh Ooooooooo Ooooooooo Ooooooooo Ooooooooo Those stains on your sweater When you took mine I hope it kept you warm And I hope that you remember The way it felt when it filled the mold And I can feel my heart flutter Heaven knows you can change another's Way to Love Way to Love
