Richard White
Where In The World
[Phantom]
Where is the path that leads out from this place
Now that all has been changed on this day?
Where is the sense of the life that I lead
Now that music's been taken away?
Why was I born to this grave
Languishing deep in this tomb?
Oh, for an angel of music to come
And restore a small glimmer of light to my gloom

Where in the world
In the vast open world
Is a voice that can sing?
Every note building high
Letting free, letting fly
Like a bird taking wing
Where in the world?
If it can be
Where is she?

What little town
Hides a girl in a gown
With a throat like a lark?
With a voice that is strong
Who with effortless song
Makes a light in the dark?
Where in the world?
Where in the world?
Not a day I’ll rest
Till that voice is found
Search on the quays
In the streets, the cafés
Find the one I desire
You will know she is near
By a warmth in your ear
And your soul catching fire
Out in the world somewhere

She who was born to command
By singing
She with the toll of a bell
The wind is ringing
And she who will hardly suspect
What she is bringing
To a plan I weave with grand designs

Go to the world
Don't return from the world
Till you find me the one
With the stance of a queen
And an eye as serene
And as bright as the sun can shine

Find in the world
This mirage that I see
And from the world
You will bring her to me
And I'll make her mine
