Windmills of Your Mind

Sting - Windmills of Your Mind (From The Movie "Thomas Crown Affair")



Lirik:

Round, like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel.
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnaval balloon
Like a carousell that's turning
Running rings around the moon

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on it's face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of it's own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream.

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on it's face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle your head
Why did summer go so quickly
Was it something that I said
Lovers walking allong the shore,
Leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand

Pictures hanging in a hallway
And a fragment of this song
Half remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong
When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of her hair

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel
As the images unwind
Like the circle that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Pictures hanging in a hallway
And the fragment of this song
Half remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong
When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of her hair

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Until

Sting - Until (From The Movie "Kate & Leopold")



Lirik:

If I caught the world in a bottle
And everything was still beneath the moon
Without your love would it shine for me?
If I was smart as Aristotle
And understood the rings around the moon
What would it all matter if you loved me?

Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still
With a million dreams to fulfill
And a matter of moments until the dancing ends
Here in your arms when everything seems to be clear
Not a solitary thing would I fear
Except when this moment comes near the dancing's end

If I caught the world in an hourglass
Saddled up the moon so we could ride
Until the stars grew dim, Until...

One day you'll meet a stranger
And all the noise is silenced in the room
You'll feel that you're close to some mystery
In the moonlight and everything shatters
You feel as if you've known her all your life
The world's oldest lesson in history

Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still
With a million dreams to fulfill
And a matter of moments until the dancing ends
Here in your arms when everything seems to be clear
Not a solitary thing do I fear
Except when this moment comes near the dancing's end

Oh, if I caught the world in an hourglass
Saddled up the moon and we would ride
Until the stars grew dim
Until the time that time stands still, Until...

Desert Rose

Sting featuring Cheb Mami - Desert Rose.

Diambil dari album Sting Brand New Day, keluaran September, 1999. Menampilkan vokalis Aljazair Cheb Mami.



Lirik:

Layli ya layli ya (Oh night oh night)
Hadi muda tweela (It's been too long)
Wana nh'awis ana wa'la ghzalti (That I've been looking for my loved one)
Wana nh'awis ana wa'la ghzalti (That I've been looking for my loved one)
Wana nh'awis ana wa'la ghzali (That I've been looking for my loved one)

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of fire

Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire

This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing's as it seems
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes
This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love

Aman aman aman (Peace peace)

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Omri feek entiya (You have my life)
Ma gheer entiya (No one other than you)
Ma gheer entiya (No one other than you)

Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower
This rare perfume, is the sweet intoxication of the fall

Ya lili ah ya leel (My night, oh night).....

Lirik:

it begins to tell 'round midnight/sometimes 'round midnight
i do pretty well 'till after sundown
supper time i feelin' sad/blue
but it really get back 'round midnight
but I really missed you 'round midnight

and it always start 'round midnight 'round midnight
haven't stop the heart to stand old memories/ I have yet to learn to stop these memories
when my heart is still with you
and all midnight knows it's true

does it mean our love is ending
when some quarrell we have needed mending
darling i need you lately i find
you're out my eyes and out of my mind

when our love take wings some midnight 'round midnight
let the angels sing of your returning
let our love be sad and sound
when old midnight comes around
