Mike Oldfield Quotes

When you want the score
When you need a helping hand
And you find closed doors
And you're back where you began
Keeping those secrets
Telling those lies...
Can anybody tell me
What's the big surprise?

Some are tricks of the light
You'll never know
Make a flickering midnight
Light into a glow...

Something tells me how
Her bright blue eyes
Are smiling;
She turns her head and now
When she wants she denies him...

I'm half a crazy man
Waiting for confirmation;
Signs keep are changing
And I need some more information.

Voices in the dark
And the lights burn low
Teach yourself the art
That you never know
Try to put a message through
To your sweetheart
Won't you like to know
The secrets of the heart?

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

What you gonna do?
Time is running out on you!
Anyway you choose
Anyway you're gonna lose...

Somebody's out to get you
Hiding in the shadows
Poison arrows!
Somebody's out to break you
Hiding in narrows
Poison arrows!

I see a picture by the lamp's flicker...
Isn't it strange how dreams fade and shimmer?

Walking on foreign ground
Like a shadow
Roaming in far off territory
Over your shoulder
Stories unfold
You're searching
For a sanctuary...

Taking on water
Sailing a restless sea
From a memory
A fantasy
The wind carries into white water
Far from the islands
Don't you know...
You're never going to get to France
Mary, queen of chance, will they find you!
Never going to get to France... Could a new romance ever bind you?

Treat me like I'm evil
Freeze me till I'm cold
Beat me till I'm feeble
Grind me till I'm old
Wire me till I'm tired
Push me like I fall
Treat me like a criminal,
just a shadow on the wall!

Drifting a dream
On a mystical sea...
A wishful emotion
A drop in the ocean
A hush in the air
You can feel anywhere
In the cool twilight
Of a tropical night...

Look down from in high places
Lift up the ground
Without a sound
[...]
Check altitude
Check your heart
'n this cloudless blue
'n this starlight night...

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...
