Mike Oldfield Quotes

Far the horizon
Hove to the wind;
We're sailing the sea
To the Edge of the World.

Reach out, it's a leap in the dark,
But there's no danger of falling.
Give out, give it straight from the heart,
You feel the thunder rolling...

If it was a horrible thing I was known for, like some horrible pop song, it would annoy me, but it doesn't. I'm proud of it.

Talk about your life
I'd like to know
It's not easy going
Where no-one goes
And no-one knows...

I know you'll never stay the same
In time, most of us lose it,
But I'm hoping, just the same,
You'll shine and learn how to use it.

I was hoping
Could you be my inspiration
Whatever should become
In the candlelight?
I was dreaming
Was it my imagination?
Tomorrow never comes
In the candlelight

The trees that whisper in the evening
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Sing a song of sorrow and grieving
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
All she saw was a silhouette of a gun
Far away on the other side
He was shot six times by a man on the run
And she couldn't find how to push trough
I stay, I pray, see you in heaven far away
I stay, I pray, see you in heaven one day...

Once in a lifetime, you find that power
To break out and run from the Devil's deep clutch
All that you need (it's the finest hour)
Is to believe in the magic touch

There's a new path
That we found just today
I was lost in the forest
And you showed me the way

Watching for a spark
It's a moonlight show
Reaching through the dark
Do you have to go?

Make-make...
There's no way out no way in
To the hallowed halls of the inner ring
You're just a face in the crowd
You got no place
When you're down and out.

"Twas grace that taught
My heart to fear,
And grace my fears reliev'd;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believ'd!"
And I want to feel sun on my face,
And I feel a shadow in its place,
With the sunlight shines through cloud,
When we're standing free, proud.

Monna Lisa, you can stop searching;
don't you know we're not Virgin?

I'm a fire without a flame, desert with no rain...

I want not to panic. I want to be comfortable in my body and my life. I don't want to keep thinking that I don't belong here, that I have ended up on the wrong planet, completely alienated. (from Changeling)
