Midnight on the water
I saw the ocean's daughter
Walking on a wave's chicane
Staring as she called my name And I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
'Cos I can't get it out of my head

A place where nobody dared to go
the love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu
And now, open your eyes and see
what we have made is real
We are in Xanadu
A million lights are dancing and there you are, a shooting star
An everlasting world and you're here with me, eternally
Xanadu

Faded like the Beatles on Hey Jude
She seemed to drift out on the rain
That came in somewhere softly from the blue.

It's a livin' thing.
It's a terrible thing to lose.
It's a given thing.
What a terrible thing to lose.

At the end of the day I have to please myself. And I've made a record to please myself.

Jeff Lynne

The love, the echoes of long ago
you needed the world to know
They are in Xanadu
The dream that came through a million years
That lived on through all the tears, it came to Xanadu
