: Red, red wine Go to my head Make me forget that I Still need her so Red, red wine It's up to you All I can do, I've done But memories won't go No,

: King, where are your people now? Chained and pacified. Tried in vain to show them how. And for that you died. You had a dream of a promised land.

: The night seems to fade, But the moonlight lingers on There are wonders for everyone The stars shine so bright, But they're fading after dawn There

: (feat. Chrissie Hynde) They say we're young and we don't know Won't find out till we grow Well I don't know why that's true Cause you got me baby

: Wise men say - Only fools rush in, But I can't help falling in love with you. [Repeat] Shall I stay - Would it be a sin, If I can't help falling in

: You try to close your ears And you try to close your eyes But the blasphemies keep coming Tempting you with lies [Chorus:] Give thanks for your protection

: Tenderly she smiles Forgiving my mistakes Getting her to love me Was my biggest break Every place I go, she's inside of me Giving up her love unconditionally

: Come back darling Give me another try I'll make you satisfied Don't you know, I need you badly And I'll give my poor heart gladly I need your love

: Ivory Madonna dying in the dust, Waiting for the manna coming from the west. Barren is her bosom, empty as her eyes, Death a certain harvest scattered
