  • Written by ricky & kim wilde

    I want to tell you of a place that I recall
    Where you're drawn by the seduction
    And the beauty of it all
    You can step into another world
    Of poetry and dreams
    In a land of mystery
    Images dance, translucent colours seem to shine
    They're a ghostly recollection
    Of another space and time
    I imagine I can hear their voices calling me
    To the land of mystery

    Where the russian heart is strong
    Like the beating of a drum
    Where the magic lingers on
    And the fight for thruth is won
    Deep in the european soul

    And love's eternal flame was burning deep inside
    It was the purest inspiration
    That he never tried to hide
    When you see the lovers floating
    You can almost hear them sigh
    As you watch them dancing
    Up into the sky

    The world's realities are not to be denied
    But must we keep destroying all our fantasies
    It's hard to look beyond when terror fills our eyes
    We mustn't give up trying to let our dreams survive

    I touch the paintings with the fingers of my heart
    Like a supernatural love affair that's just about to start
    But there'll always be the hidden dreams I'll never see
    In the land of mystery
