I Dream Of Eyes

Words and Music: Andy Hunt
(c) 1994 Cloud Of Dust and Quantum Records
Produced by Simon Pratt and Andy Hunt
Engineered by Simon Pratt
Recorded at Mill Stream Studios, Wellington, England.
Keyboards and vocals - Andy Hunt
Bass Guitar Simon Pratt

I turned around and fell headlong;
I never felt the bond so strong,
As I dove into the pools of mesmerisation,
I was swimming in your seas without hesitation.
So I knew I couldn't look back,
I knew I'd have to swim along the right track,
While the colours where another dimension,
And the feeling was beyond comprehension.

I didn't wanna wake, I didn't want reality,
I didn't wanna find an error in my parity,
But I knew then I'd have to let go;
Say goodbye to the gril I didn't know.
And now I'm looking in the pale moonlight
For another last dream of a beautiful sight;
My eyes are moist - I don't wanna cry...

I dream of eyes
(I'm mesmerised)
(I'm captivated)
(I want you)
(I need you)

In my life's cycle I think you'll find
The turning wheels of space and time,
But I don't need any added stability;
I just wish for that visual tranquility.
So I lie there with my head up in the clouds,
And live a longing in the night time sounds,
And as I gaze up at the stars in the sky...

I dream of eyes
(I'm mesmerised)Back To Top
(I'm captivated)
(I want you)
(I need you)


Mirage (Just The Girl)

Words and Music: Andy Hunt
(c) 1992 Cloud Of Dust and Quantum Records
Produced by Simon Pratt and Andy Hunt
Engineered by Simon Pratt
Recorded at Mill Stream Studios, Wellington, England.
Keyboards and vocals - Andy Hunt

In a desert I have found you
But this image isn't real
You're really just a mirage
I can't touch or taste or feel

Will it rain
In my world
Is this pain
Or just the girl

And I don't think that you realise
The way you make me feel
And when I look into your eyes
This world becomes surreal

Will it rain...

If your love is like water
Then quench my thirst please girl
You're in my dreams and my thoughts
But a mirage in my worldBack To Top

Will it rain...


You Knocked Me Down

Words and Music: Andy Hunt
(c) 1985 and 1994 Cloud Of Dust and Quantum Records
Produced by Simon Pratt and Andy Hunt
Engineered by Simon Pratt
Recorded at Mill Stream Studios, Wellington, England
and Bolham Sound Stage, England.
Keyboards, percussion and vocals - Andy Hunt
Bass Guitar and Rhythm Guitar - Simon Pratt

Defiance won't get you down
When you've fallen on this stoney ground
You didn't even make a sound
But you shouted.

Giving is a thing that you do
But living I can see it through
I'm not winning if I believe in you
So I shouted

You tricked me
You kicked me
You knocked me down

Nothing will make me see
What you said was reality
But instead I'll wait and see
About it

Don't think that I'm to blame
It always seems to be the same
I can't be when I think I know
About it

You tricked me
You kicked me
You knocked me down

Cry, you make me so sick
Lie, so you think I'm thick
Die, that's my final trick
I'm going

See, I can take your threat
I'm not the type to forget
But now I can see I should
Be going
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

You tricked meBack To Top
You kicked me
You knocked me down


My Sahara Life

Recorded at Mill Stream Studios, Wellington, England
Keyboards and vocals - Andy Hunt

My Sahara life
Where is my oasis?
My Sahara life
And all those empty faces

And in this seat I'm sitting
But am I really here
'Cause she just walked right past me
Her language made it clear

My Sahara life
Where is my oasis?
My Sahara life
And all those empty faces

Can this world be so cruel
Just one mistake I made
And no communication
I think by now I've paid

My Sahara life
Where is my oasis?
My Sahara life
And all those empty faces

Hey wait there just one minute
I thought I caught a smile
Just my imagination
She'd really run a mile

How would you feel in my Sahara life?

My Sahara life
Where is my oasis?
My Sahara life
And all those empty faces

I know the party's over
The slow dance has begun
I think it's time to go now
The lady's never won

My Sahara life
Where is my oasis?
My Sahara life
And all those empty facesBack To Top

How would you feel in my Sahara life?


She Dreams About Me

Words and Music: Andy Hunt
(c) 1992 Cloud Of Dust and Quantum Records
Produced by Simon Pratt and Andy Hunt
Engineered by Simon Pratt
Recorded at Mill Stream Studios, Wellington, England
Keyboards and vocals - Andy Hunt

It's cold outside
But in her dreams she's warm
She's in my arms
She'll be there 'til the dawn
But then she'll wake
And find that she's alone
No love to make
No love to call her own

She dreams about me
In the night
She dreams about me
When it's light
She has no knowledge
Of my name
But dreams about me
Just the same

She is out there
I must be optimisitic
I shouldn't care
But always fatalistic
So I will wait
My time will come I'm sure
When she'll find me
Her dreams will be no more

She dreams about me
In the night
She dreams about me
When it's light
She has no knowledge
Of my name
But dreams about me
Just the same

It's cold outside
But in her dreams she's warm
She's in my arms
She'll be there 'til the dawn
But then she'll wake
And find that she's alone
No love to make
No love to call her own

She dreams about me
She dreams about meBack To Top
She dreams about me
She dreams about me

I can't bear to look
I hate to see tears in your eyes I know I'm a fool
But I don't like to see you cry

I'm scared if I touch you
And find the taste of your kiss
'Cause something you've never had
They say you will never miss

You say that you're happy
But I can see pain deep inside
And who's gonna love you
To keep you and care for your child?

I'm scared if I touch you
And find the taste of your kiss
'Cause something you've never had
They say you will never miss

I don't think you want me
I don't know I want you as well
But the strange situation
Has put me under your spell

I'm scared if I touch you
And find the taste of your kiss
'Cause something you've never had
They say you will never miss

I can't bear to look
I hate to see tears in your eyes I know I'm a fool
But I don't like to see you cry

I'm scared if I touch you
And find the taste of your kissBack To Top
'Cause something you've never had
They say you will never miss

I said a once in a lifetime, or twice in a day
If you aint gonna work you aint gonna get paid
Well you may not wanna give me no eagle eye
But the way you dress baby make a grown man cry

Baby, oh I don't know what you're doin'
But the way you're movin'
You look like you've got a pigeon head
Baby, oh you may not be cooin'
But the way you're groovin'
You look like you've got a pigeon head

You're preenin' and a pluckin' 'til you're lookin' alright
Guess you're gonna catch him by the end of this night
You're lookin like heaven as you fall into my bed
You're my groovin' baby with the pigeon head

Baby, oh I don't know what you're doin'
But the way you're movin'
You look like you've got a pigeon head
Baby, oh you may not be cooin'
But the way you're groovin'
You look like you've got a pigeon head

Baby, oh I don't know what you're doin'
But the way you're movin'
You look like you've got a pigeon head
Baby, oh you may not be cooin'
But the way you're groovin'
You look like you've got a pigeon head

Oh baby, oh you're swingin' and a swayin'
And when we're playin'
You look like you've got a pigeon head
Baby, oh you may not be cooin'Back To Top
But the way you're groovin'
You look like you've got a pigeon head


Dark Lady

Words: Andy Hunt
Music: Andy Hunt and Simon Pratt

Produced by Simon Pratt and Andy Hunt
Engineered by Simon Pratt
Recorded at Mill Stream Studios, Wellington, England
Keyboards and vocals - Andy Hunt

She's the gentle one, in the summer song
She kissed my lips and the sweet taste lingered long
She isn't wine, but yet so sweet
My heart is heavy and so I may weep
But her darkness is lifting me higher
Her voice is one in a heavenly choir, and the
Temperal paradise will last eternal
Forgotten times that will never be infernal
And now I feel her hand is on my brow
I'll carry on but I don't know how
My heart is keeping - her fingers sweeping
My eyes are open but I know I should be sleeping
My legs are gone and my head is feeling numb
The evening's ended though it's only just begun
"D'you wanna stay?", well I think I shouldn't maybe
I'm going home to my own Dark Lady

Without you (sweet love) where would I be?
Without you (Dark Lady) I could be me

She's the gentle one, and so still and cool
She leaves me hiding in my own brown castle new
And when I'm feeling that my life has vigour
I feel her love and intoxicating figure
And when I'm with her, in heaven I have no doubts
The only doubts I have are really 'bout my whereabouts
"D'you wanna stay?", well I think I shouldn't baby
I'm going home to my own Dark Lady

Without you (sweet love) where would I be?
Without you (Dark Lady) I could be me

She's the gentle one, in the summer sun
In a meadow with reds and yellows having fun
I see them shining and I have to feel the smoothness
I'm in a winning pool and like to taste her coolness
But now I'm fading and I have to ask the question
My lady's gone and will I ever want the next one
'Cause without you babe, I don't know where I'd be
Without you - my own Dark Lady

Without you (sweet love) where would I be?
Without you (Dark Lady) I could be meBack To Top

Without you (sweet love) where would I be?
Without you (Dark Lady) I could be me

Sam
When I heard you singing
Oh I heard your loneliness
And I heard your heart
Oh Sam
I know what you're saying
Oh I've walked those desert sands
I can hear your heart

And I don't need to imagine
In that desert I stand
A million acres
And nothing but sand

Sam
You are so beautiful
Oh why should it happen
When I hear your voice
Sam
It could be alright
But I know it never will
I don't have that choice

And I don't need to imagine
In that desert I stand
A million acres
And nothing but sand

Sam
Oh I'll sing this song for you
To thank you for singing
Those love songs for me
Oh Sam
When next time I see you
And look into your eyes
You'll know what this means

And I don't need to imagine
In that desert I stand
A million acres
And nothing but sand

Sam
