Sitting in a dark room listening to the things you have to say Looking at your face, seeing that your smile has gone away Is it a dream or Is it a time Or am I wishing it would all go away Sitting at the corner Looking at the things that we used to do By just a dreaming Looking at the scheming we tried to prove Is it a dream Or is it real? Its taking us back to the time To the time we had to feel Wondering what you said to me Thinking it through, most of the time Wondering all the things you said Christ it will send you blind Christ it will send you blind On and on,On and on,On and on,On and on,On and on On and on and on and on and on and on and on On and on We are out of time to make it real like you mean it make it real Don’t waste my time Dont waste my time Commited to the crime What a sin on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on © 2018 C.

Loves on fire Loves on fire Do you think we could travel back in time Just a moment to share without a dime Instead we are drifting through the metropole of this town Do you remember the old barn where we used to play Do you sometimes think we were there to stay? Instead we moved onto the city life To work so hard to make a new life When all we had to do was stay behind To live and find our truth Oh now im so tired of this town Oh I dont want to wear this crown I want to live like we were at home A simple life without no phone A treasure on the earth just you and me A treasure on the earth and our sea Take me back. To the place we once called home That old farm down by the sea Where everything was sunshine You and me And now , now look at us in the dark with nothing but the park Living in the city Living in the dark Take me home, to the place we once called ours Where all, all was so precious, we left it for too many hours Now, now we travel through the crowds Every day just being so loud No time to play I want to be free again I want to be free Free free, free again Just you and me Down by the sea And our sea ©2018 C.

Its all right Playing to the circus …being all right Being you and me, being us For me its just a game, without any fuss Without you, without you Without you With you I’m a man Without you a clown Making everyone laugh, But crying in the rough The rough of my tears, my dreams Always its not quite what it seams Without you, Without you, Without you Without you ,its just an empty room Without you Its just a silent film With shadows on the wall Pictures in a book, not real not now Stories without a look I can see them now Just an empty room just a silent film Shadows on the wall pictures in a book that’s all Without you its nothing Without you its nothing Without you its nothing It has no meaning Its just like dreaming When you wake up andyou know That its wrapped and gone That its wrapped and gone IN THE NAME OF MY KING All in the name of my King All in the name ascribed to him Given by god knows who Although the rest of my country men Think that its so true again Rest of my country men Help me pick up the pieces of this life Before its too late and I submit, submit to that fate That brought me down here In this land of dread and fear Brought me down here In this land of dread and fear SAILING TO THE MOON Sailing cross the seven seas of your life In our pirate ship of hope Rough seas won’t put us down no more Hurricanes wont make us drown We are sailing to the moon…. Not a moment too soon We are sailing to the moon Not a moment, not a moment to soon Just our hopes to steer the ship Just our boat to keep us afloat Just our sail to keep is going Just our hope to keep it flowing Never giving up,Never losing hope Never giving up Never giving up,Never losing hope Pirates ahoy…don’t come near We have no fear. We have no fear Clear skies and moon Will get us there soon Clear skies and moon Not a moment too soon Navigate our world ,find a way Take us on our journey, find a way To get there Sailing cross the seven seas Sailing cross your life Sailing cross the seven seas Sailings of your life Rough seas won’t put us down Won’t make us drown Won’t put us in the ground Rough seas won’t put us down Won’t make us drown Take us to the ground We are sailing to the moon Never giving up, Never giving up Never giving up, Never giving up We are sailing to the moon Never giving up, never giving up We are sailing to the moon ©2018 C.Bayley

The battle is over Too much blood has been spilled Has flown over these hills Too much blood on the road Too many hopes have been crushed Too many loves have been lost I thought the road was hard, the road was so steep But that road was not there It was my battle with me, my desires, my aims, my goals I heard the cries of many men in pain I heard the cries of many souls in pain and torment For what, for what do I cry, for what do I cry So many dreams, so many screams In this empty place, in this shameful space The answer drifted on the whistling wind Through the fire of my tormented skin Oh are you are ready now, ready to come to nothingness Oh are you ready Come around come to the freedom Come to my light Come to the nothingness If I give you my sword If I give you my love If I give you my fight If I give you my soul, if I give you my dagger If I give you my fight if I give you my fight If I lay them down at your feet, down at your feet Down at your feet Well I give you my spirit Well I give you my soul Lay me down it said, I will hold them for you And in return I will give you my love I will give you my breath I will give you my all Lay them down, lay them down I will hold them for you And in return I will give you love And in return I will give you breath And in return I will give you my all And in return I will give you my all I will give you my love I will give you, I will give you my breath I will give you I will give you my all ©2018 C.

Looking up the hill again You are still there In the ground and in the air So still but so full of love So real, so near The music that surrounds that site Gives us peace to all in sight I can say that all I really know Came from you Came from your smile Came from your love Came from your smile Came from you heart I remember all those days, All those nights when you were near yet so far And now you feel nearer all were But how can you bury a love so strong How can you think its all just gone A felling for us to overcome You were always really in our hearts When the rain softly falls over that shrine Leaving earth soft, being gentle like a rhyme A smile of devotion passes my face Is that love or just emotion Is that love or just emotion Is it love or emotion From you Just an emotion Just an emotion Love or just emotion Love or just emotion Love or just emotion Love or just emotion Sometimes its so strong, I feel I can’t belong Hiding in the earth warming in your sun Growing lie the trees Riding in the air… Sometimes its so strong. repeat Hiding in the earth warming in your sun Growing lie the trees Riding in the air… Sometimes its so strong. Its never too sad Its never to bad Just giving out Just giving out Your smiles With my smiling face with tears I reach out to hold your hand Sometimes I can really feel its touch Other times I cry for you so much Just one more touch Never ending moments of your sweet kiss The wind rustles those tall trees Placed gently but firm on my lips That shelter our love A parting moment of bliss A sighing backdrop that gives so much I can hear the breath of your love I can hear its sweeping my hair Now its pushing me on Now its caressing my stares ©2018 C. Bayley

CAN YOU FEEL IT? Well a day without you is a day without smiles Well a day without you is a day without love Never thought I would see it through Never thought I would make it so far I guess I found in you That I needed to find my star Well is see you, Well I see you shining so bright Well I hear you Well I see you shining so bright Can you feel it, can you hear it Can you feel my love Can you see it, can you hear it can you feel my love Guess I needed to find my star, I found you But I needed you to bring it all out Well I needed you to scream and shout Well I needed you to scream and shout Can you feel it, Can you hear it Can you see my love Can you see it Can you hear it Can you feel my love Well I hear you now What I thought was from you But was really hiding deep inside Thanks so much, thanks so much For helping mW out For giving me the chance to see the life without me giving up I see your shining bright so bright It makes me chase that fight I AM I , I am awakened, I am But what I am I don’t know I ‘m not what I was Were I not Were I not i wouldn’t know My gaze is on you The love of my spring Were I not looking I would be so blind If I have found you I will never be lost If I’m not there I still won’t be lost I, I have awakened, I am I know not sleep I have awakened I don’t know why, but I know it is The love of my spring The spring of my love ©2018 C.

Christmas morning We’ve waited for a what seems a lifetime In the morning, the snow is falling all around Deep in the forest Smiling faces tied to silver trees Always means so much to me Christmas morning The deer are running wild through the snow Giving warning Is there something we need to know By the river There’s something that stops the waters flow Just the old year Or is it something yo’uld be glad to know Just a feeling It would turn out right Just a dream that you’re out of site Waiting for you to conquer your fear In the moment, I need you here Christmas evening the moon is shining bright Very telling, we never got it right Wanted so much to make it such a happy day Now its over, guess we’ll save it for another day Fireside chats hiding from the bats who have joined us in the warmth of your smile Christmas evening, the stars are shining bright In eternity, space brings to light New Years coming beginings giving us a dream Need your answers, need to know your theme ©2018 C.

Whispers 08:47
The ways of your life, the days that you smile The times that you give me, give me your love, Now and forever The moments you look, so deep in my eyes The feelings you share with me Share Now and forever Whispers come easy, easy to you Whispers fly through the air like arrows Out of the blue Always with me Now that you see me I feel so thankful Now that you believe in me I sometimes remember how we used to play out in the road Until it got dark and you whispered… hello When I thought I was so alone You were always there When I looked to the hilltops Instead of me You were there, there all the time I just didn’t know it for sure But now that I hear you Like a whispering tree A tree full of life with its roots firm in the ground So graceful and free So graceful and free If I listen that’s straight from my heart I,m going back Back to the time when we were just friends I’m going back I’m going back Oh I’m going back to the land I knew as home I’m going back to the land I knew as home Its been so long, Its been so long I’ve been away from home Whispering to me Like the trees out there Whispering. Whispering to me They’re whispering now They’re whispering now They‘re whispering now…. Been so long ago Now I’m coming back home Now I’m coming back home Coming home to you I’m hearing the whispers I can’t wait to see The placer you call home The place I left so long ago The start of our road so many years back Giving and taking that never comes back But its there in the whispers, that traverse the sky The whispers that let me The whispers that left you The whispers that left us both fly The start of our road so many years back Giving and taking that never comes back But its there in the whispers, that traverse the sky The whispers that let you The whispers that left me The whispers that left us both fly ©2018 C.

Clive Bayley and Max Hunt have collaborated together to produce an album of highly original songs drawing on their combined experience with a dazzling variety of musical cultures/genres. 'Whispers' draws on diverse influences of classic and modern rock & pop, progressive rock and world music.

Clive Bayley is a founder member of the London based 60s pre-Yes band Mabel Greer's Toyshop. Clive founded the band with Bob Hagger in 1966 and, following a period of extreme creativity, MGT became Yes in 1968. Clive co-wrote the songs 'Beyond & Before' and 'Sweetness' which featured on the first Yes Album in 1969

Max Hunt was born in 1966 (the year that Mabel Greer's Toyshop was founded!). Max learned classical piano from an early age and became a professional keyboard player at the age of 15. In 2001 Max joined Yes tribute band Fragile and toured the UK and Europe, including shows with Steve Howe & Alan White of Yes. Max has also worked with Jon Anderson, ex-Marillion singer Fish, Mick Jagger's brother Chris Jagger, well known children's TV presenter Johnny Ball, ex-Manfred Mann Earth Band singer/guitarist Chris Thompson, ex-Peter Maffay Guitarist Frank Diez, original Spencer Davies Group drummer Pete York and German rock-guitar maestro Siggi Schwarz.

Max was introduced to Bob & Clive in 2015 by Yes biographer Dave Watkinson, as MGT had reformed and were looking for a keyboard player. Max joined the band and played keyboards on and co-produced the second MGT album, The Secret.

Clive and Max have been working together on this new collaboration since 2018. Jürgen Link, who is the drummer in other projects with Max and German band Forgotten Sons, joined the project on Drums in 2019 and adds his power and virtuosity to the album.

Bayley & Hunt now present this labour of love as a digital album for download/streaming.
