PROMISE THE EARTH
By
Bee Gees
***************
It’s not worth one night on earth
Baby I know, baby I know
I won’t know whose lips you’re kissing
Baby I know
You don’t know what you have done
Baby I know, baby don’t go
You don’t know what you are missing
Baby and so
There’s not a sacrifice too strong
I’ve been alone for far too long
I’d be a fool to fail, I follow you
You must believe
Promise the earth
Give her the ocean
A kiss on the wind, goes straight to the heart
Promise the earth
With tears of emotion
If fate is a force that tears you apart
Please believe me, I would sell my soul for you
It’s not too late
And we can turn back the time
Baby I know
I lay down with you in dreams
Baby I know, baby don’t go
I was driven by this vision
Baby and so
If I could testify to you
Then I could prove my aim is true
If I am guilty or I’m innocent
You must believe
Promise the earth
Give her the ocean
A kiss on the wind, goes straight to the heart (baby believe)
Promise the earth
With tears of emotion
If fate is a force that tears you apart
You know I’m only human, so what am I supposed to say
‘Course I’m gonna miss you, and curse the day you went away
What I would surrender, if I could make you turn around
The world we’ve got together, forever is on solid ground
Oooh, baby don’t go
Baby don’t go
Baby don’t go
Baby
You’re part of every dream
Before the dawn
You must believe
Promise the earth
Give her the ocean
A kiss on the wind, goes straight to the heart (make her believe)
Promise the earth
With tears of emotion
If fate is a force that tears you apart
Baby believe
Promise the earth
Give her the ocean
A kiss on the wind, goes straight to the heart
Promise the earth
With tears of emotion
If fate is a force that tears you apart
Baby believe
Promise the earth
Promise the earth
Promise the earth
Promise the earth
You better believe
ISRAEL
***************
You’ve had your troubles Israel
I’ve seen them all
But you put the writing on the wall
Israel Israel yeah
You know I’ve seen you fall so many times
I’ve cried for you and that’s a crime
Israel Israel Israel
Where there’s sand
Where there’s beautiful sand yeah
You know you got a kind of feeling
That’s just grand
Take me into your arms
Let me be with you
Israel Israel Israel
I like the smiles up on your people’s faces
They make you feel warm embraces
And I want that kind of smile
That kind of smile
Israel you make the whole world think about you
And if they don’t they’ll find a reason
To shout about Israel Israel
You’re the only one Israel Israel
Tell me all about it!
Tell me all about it
Tell me all about it
Oh take me into your arms
And make me feel your goodness
Be with me Israel
Hey hey hey hey
Oh oh oh
Take me into your arms
Let me hold hold you to myself
Oh I want to Israel
Israel Oh take me back into into your arms
Israel Israel Israel Israel
Israel
IT’S JUST THE WAY
***************
It’s just the way that I feel about tomorrow.
I’ll be sad and alone all the time.
It’s just the way that you said you don’t love me anymore then ‘Goodbye’
I can’t believe what you’re saying.
You don’t love me anymore ‘Goodbye’.
Just the way that I feel about tomorrow.
Knowing you won’t be there by my side.
I wish that I could say to you; well, can’t we just be good friends?
Would you leave the door open, let me walk in again ?
That’s the way I been thinking ’bout tomorrow.
I only know that friends can’t be lovers again.
TRUE CONFESSIONS
***************
I’m not the one in search of friction
I’m not the one to look for fights
When it gets down to me and you
I think it over twice
We sing the same song
With it all subject to change
There is another place in time, girl
You and I will meet again
I saw the signs I never knew
Didn’t have enough on you to follow through
Call it innocent or guilty
Inside you, it’s still me
Oooh, whose word you gonna take
Whose heart you gonna break
Not mine
If I believe your true confessions
I’m never gonna make it
You know you hurt me for the very last time
I need you darlin’, and it tears me apart
And if someone comes between us
It’s the death of my heart
I think about you and I paint a picture
You wanna love above the law
And you got a taste for adventure
It’s what you’re livin’ for
We say the same lies
Anyone to crucify
We’re the victims of the same sensations
I can be as bad as you
I step aside, you can understand
I won’t stand in the way but I will if I can
Not to be your judge and jury
It’s still you inside me
My gun is loaded and I’m ready for war
I come and get you and I kick down the door
There’s no way, I can’t let you leave
I’m not working for the enemy
DIMENSIONS
***************
Hindsight, don’t make it right
She give me trouble enough
And she’s a ball of light
I’m in the tunnel of love
With the American dream
And I was born too soon
A little good luck, never stuck
She got me climbing the walls
Got me hard as a rock
Within a city of sin, she got a city block
And she was barkin’ at the moon
She likes to show
So many sides to her
And I’d be the one to know
When am I gonna go to your dimension
When am I gonna go to where you are
When am I gonna go to your dimension
Dimensions of each other keep us goin’ strong
Black knight, take a bite
She can double it up
And she’s a way of life
And whether dead or alive
She got a fix on me
And I was dancin’ in the fire
White steam, never seen
In every muscle and bone
She was a love machine
And she could wrestle me down
And get a taste of me
In her web of desire
She changed my world
How can the body know
It’s touchin’ me or her
SOUTH DAKOTA MORNING
***************
The sun shines down on a South Dakota morning
And I can see their faces in my eyes
I wish they were behind me
My enemy can find me
If only to remind me that I’m really not alone
All the South Dakota mornings I have known
The eagle flies on a South Dakota morning
And I don’t see my eagle anymore
Now stranger, I must kill you
You must survive, but will you
I may just beat you down, but will it even up the score
I think I saw the eagle just once more
The rain comes down on a South Dakota morning
And I can’t see the sadness in my town
So let it be my pillow for underneath your willow
Wanna go back to you though your nothing but a town
On the South Dakota grass I lay me down
