This Morning
Justin Hayward

As the dawn is breaking on your future my child Is there none of your love alive? If every door you open closes on me I don't know if I can survive I don't know if I can survive Long is the road that takes you from home My baby, oh my darling And sleepless are the hours And lonely is the night For the poor tormented soul Who is searching for the light This morning I opened my eyes I knew from the silence That something was wrong Turning, I realized I wanted to cry Cause I knew I was alone But where will you go? And who will be your guide? And which way will you turn? The waters are so wide 'Cause I never told you Now, you'll never really know I need you so Now the sun is rising on your freedom my child Is there none of your love alive? Every door you open closes on me I don't know if I can survive Knowing part of your love was lies Long is the road that takes you from home My baby Oh, my darling Sleepless are the hours And lonely is the night The poor tormented soul Who is searching for the light The moment I opened my eyes I knew from the silence That something was wrong Turning I realized I wanted to cry When I knew I was alone But where will you go? and who will be your guide? And which way will you turn? The waters are so wide But I never told you Now you'll never really know I need you so

Remember Me, My Friend
Justin Hayward and John Lodge

You don't need to ask me if I'll be your friend I am I am You don't need to ask me if I'm sure my friend I am I am your friend You must remember me I'm the one who saw through the world's disguise Took away its cloak and I made it hide From me Remember me? Walking on this earth finding you You, you Walking on this earth finding you You, you What can I say? You don't need to find the words to say What's on your mind If you need a reason to begin again I am I am You will find an answer at your journey's end I am Waiting there my friend You must remember me I'm the one who knew you when I'm the one you call your friend Feel free Remember me Walking on this earth finding you You, you Walking on this earth finding you You, you What can I say? You don't need to find the words to say What's on your mind Walking on this earth finding you You, you Walking on this earth finding you You, you What can I say? You don't need to find the words to say What's on your mind Walking on this earth finding you You, you Walking on this earth finding you You, you Walking on this earth finding you You, you You, you You, you You, you

Band members preferred this song as the "A" side single, with the public preferring "I Dreamed Last Night" on the flip side.

My Brother
Justin Hayward

My brother If you could cast a little light on someone It's not too soon You took me halfway round the world I'm running out of time and reasons My true friend If you could tell me what it is that keeps you From coming down You left me way up in the clouds The higher you fly The less I see you So far 'Cross a wild and windy sea So far That our voices are divided by an ocean An ocean My brother If you could take a little time to slow down It's more your style It takes a lifetime to decide I'm running out of time and reasons I'm running out I'm running out So far 'Cross a wild and windy sea So far That our voices are Divided by an ocean An ocean Ahhhh... Ooooo...

You
John Lodge

You don't even know my name Time was when you would Take the love you've given all away Take a part of me You don't even walk my road Can't find where you turned Looked away and you were gone Now we're on our own Old man is this why we're alone? I, I believe What is lost forever Has brought the change in me I, I believe What is lost forever Has brought the change in me You don't even know my world I've tried hard to see If I'd found the world you're looking for There'd be a change in me You don't even know my name Time was when you would Take the love you've given all away Take a part of me You've gone and changed the world I see I, I believe What is lost for ever has brought the change in me I, I believe What is lost for ever has brought the change in me

Nights Winter Years
Justin Hayward

Pain, sorrow, tears Long, lonely years With love Having passed me by I could live a lie for you But truth is the road I choose Knowing all I need to do Is give to you Down, down down Where your dreams are found They're sleeping inside of us all They're sleeping inside of us all Nights, winters, years Pain, sorrow, tears of mine Cannot hold me now I'm a fool to fall for you But here In the morning light Tell me how can love be wrong And feel so right?

Saved By The Music
John Lodge

When you're swallowing all your pride Do you need somewhere A place to hide? A smile from your face Where the light comes shining through All its strength, it came from you It's lost now all that age before I knew you Is it that forever is hard to find? You made me recognize what I'd been leaving far behind Is it closing in on you like it was on me? This time I'm saved by the music Saved by the song we can sing This time I'm saved by the music Saved by the song that you bring When you're following all life's lies And find its meaning The truth still hides Don't cover your face Let the warmth come flowing through Welcome dawn, new morning dew This time I'm saved by the music Saved by the song we can sing This time I'm saved by the music Saved by the song that you bring When you're swallowing all life's lies... This time we're saved by the music Saved by the song we can sing This time we're saved by the music Saved by the song that you bring This time we're saved

I Dreamed Last Night
Justin Hayward

Oh I dreamed last night I was hearing Hearing your voice And the things that you said, well they left me Left me no choice And you told me we had the power And you told me this was the hour That you don't know how If I could show you now Well I dreamed last night you were calling Calling my name You were locked inside of you secrets Calling my name And you told me lost was the key And you told me how you long to be free That you don't know how Oh let me show you now Like a bird on a far distant mountain Like a ship on an uncharted sea You are lost in the arms that have found you Don't be afraid Love's plans are made Oh, don't be afraid If there's a time And a place to begin love It must be now Let it go Set it free Oh, I dreamed last night I was hearing Hearing your voice Why did you say those things that have left me Left me no choice? When you told me we had the power Why did you tell me now was the hour? But you don't know how Oh, let me show you now Like a bird on a far distant mountain Like a ship on an uncharted sea You are lost in the arms that have found you Oh, don't be afraid Love's plans are made Don't be afraid If there's a time And a place to begin love It must be now Let it go Set it free Oh I dreamed last night I was hearing Hearing your voice

Who Are You Now
Justin Hayward

Who are you now? First love of mine If you could see You'd reach out for me In hallways And in secret doorways Were love's hiding places With nowhere to go Goodbye To the fields and byways I remember saying I don't want to leave 'Cause you were all there was to know About me Somewhere On this crazy island A familiar stranger Sleeps so far away Wonder in the eyes of children And the smile of fortune Helps the memory fade 'Cause they are all there is to know About me Who are you now?

Maybe
John Lodge

Maybe Maybe I'm wrong To go on thinking, to sing my song Maybe This world's falling down Call up the trumpeters and knock the walls down Someone who needs Someone who feels Someone who sees can find you Slowly Slowly we walk No harm in crying, no sense in talk Slowly The ice melts away Call on the choir to sing And turn no-one away Someone who needs Someone who feels Someone who sees can find you Someone who needs Someone who feels Someone who sees can find you Maybe Maybe I'm wrong The river holds its breath The sea will keep its calm Slowly Slowly we turn A look at where we've been The juggler has to learn Someone who needs Someone who feels Someone who sees can find you Someone who needs Someone who feels Someone who sees can find you

When You Wake Up
Justin Hayward and John Lodge

Now as we speed a little faster through the stars To this new world of ours With the seed that the garden requires And as we drift a little further from the shore Like the sea evermore I'm the ivy that clings round your door When you wake up You will find That you're not where you left yourself Ahhhh... Ahhhh... Now as we drift a little further down the stream Was it all what it seemed? Was it true? Was it real? Or just a dream? When you wake up You will find That you're not where you left yourself Ahhhh... Ahhhh... Now as we speed a little faster through the stars Ahhhh... Ahhhh... Ahhhh.........

BONUS TRACK RELEASED ON CD
Blue Guitar
Justin Hayward and John Lodge*

* NOTE: John Lodge is credited on the single, but is not credited on the CD

Blue guitar Fortune of my ways Making of my days New chord Counting up the ways Happiness is lazy If you don't know the song If you can't put the words to the tune Tell the rhyme from the reason What should it matter To the fool or the dreamer? New hope Travelers in a storm Finding love is warm New day The world has just begun Our eyes have seen the sun If you don't know the way If you can't see the wood for the trees Taste the wine from the water Well what should it matter To the fool or the dreamer?

Though it is not stated, this picture sleeve is similar to many Phil Travers paintings. Note the cloud formation that looks like the guitar. Most Moody Blues albums have "hidden pictures" similar to this.

* John Lodge did not participate in making this song, but he was given credit on the initial release as a vinyl single. The credit may have been given as a courtesy. On CD, his credit was removed.
