Circumstances (In Love, Past, Present, Future Meet)

by Capability Brown

on Voice (1974)

Silent sounds helplessly lost
Search forever hoping to accost
Happy thoughts, hopeful idears
In my dreaming then you may appear
All of the shadow of the sadness
Where in loneliness you dwell
Nothing remains above the madness
These thoughts we know so well
Why can't security bring
Love and freedom from the world?
They stand material things
Love and freedom from the world
You make me laugh, you make me cry
You make me live, you make me die for you
Helpless weeping for favours you have shown
Selfish clouds move from the sky
So do favours, now they start to die
Don't let it break your heart
(Don't let it break your heart) (Don't let it break your heart)
Don't let it keep us apart (Don't let it break your heart)
Don't let it bring you down (Don't let it break your heart)
Now that I sing to you carefully
You make me laugh, you make me cry
You make me live, you make me die for my own
Helpless weeping for favours you have shown
Silent sounds helplessly lost
Search forever hoping to accost, ooh

Sad little mice looking for a way to go west
Standing alone, they wonder which way's the best
Trying to guest
Lady of mine, drift into safety by me
Though I can give you no answer my dear, you'll be free
Wonders to see

Time on a chariot carries its shears
And anticipation's the worst of our fears
Lighting the night on a silhouette shown
Reveals the half-lover, the show must go on and on

Calling out loudly to someone you passed in the night
She'll look at your stardreams and wonder if they'll turn out right
Speak to her softly with words she will hold with her eyes
Then she can show you that love is the way and not lies

Don't you know there were times
When I was treated mean?
Used by the people that I knew
To realize their speech
Now it's hard to give kind regards to my closest friends
Bitter changes have turned my thoughts
To evil at hoping to make amends

Goodbye, goodbye baby
Your daddy's gone away
Say you feel, my lady
That we might be someday

Freedom now is only the beginning
Fight for what you need no more

There's the light of the land
They come to us all
Words that we don't understand
The dance of love must fall
Grasping thoughts while I'm taking walks alone again
Golden leaves fall from bending trees
Is there answers still closer to where I feel?

Goodbye, goodbye baby
Your daddy's gone away
Say you feel, my lady
That we might be someday, oh
Goodbye, goodbye baby
Your daddy's gone away
Say you feel, my lady
That we might be someday

Was it the song you were looking for? Yes 🥰

Thanks to this website I've now finally found this 20 minute-long song I last heard 41 years ago and have searched for ever since. It's the first time the few lyrics I remembered have come up with a positive hit. And that was even with some of the words wrong.
I can't say enough how delighted I am. I've now bought the digital album. Thank you a million times!!!
