Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Out in the street somebody's crying
Out in the night the fires burn
Maybe tonight somebody's crying
Reached the point of no return
Oh—my eyes they see but I can't believe
Oh—my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave
[Chorus]
Like the eagle and the dove
Fly so high on wings above
When all you see can only bring you sadness
Like a river we will flow
On towards the sea we go
When all you do can only bring you sadness
Out on the sea of madness
[Verse 2]
Somewhere I hear a voice that's calling
Out in the dark there burns a dream
You've got to hope when you are falling
To find the world that you have seen
Oh—my eyes, they see but I can't believe
Oh—my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave
[Chorus]
Like the eagle and the dove
Fly so high on wings above
When all you see can only bring you sadness
Like a river we will flow
On towards the sea we go
When all you do can only bring you sadness
Out on the sea of madness
[Verse 3]
It's madness
The sun doesn't shine on the sea of madness
There ain't no wind to fill your sails
It's madness
When all you see can only bring you sadness
On towards the sea we go...
[Verse 4]
Out in the night somebody's crying
Out in the night the fires burn
Maybe tonight somebody's crying
Reached the point of no return
Oh—my eyes, they see but I cannot believe
Oh—my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave
[Chorus]
Like the eagle and the dove
Fly so high on wings above
When all you see can only bring you sadness
Like a river we will flow
On towards the sea we go
When all you do can only bring you sadness
On the sea of madness
[Outro]
Of madness
Of madness
Of madness
Of madness
Of madness
Of madness
