Don't keep me hangin' on a string
Tell me what I feel is no big thing
Don't turn away I'm listening
Over and Over again
Don't give me visions to explain
There are no doubts I feel the strain
Of all my senses yearning
Over and over again
**Chorus: Every day I see you-Every day I need you-Every way I breathe you-On and on and on again**
It's not important to wonder why
What is just is no more to imply
This simple thought repeating
Over and Over again
**Chorus: Every day I see you-Every day I need you-Every way I breathe you-On and on and on again**
Imagine all the ways to cope
I close my eyes that gives me hope
It cures the silence
Written by Stevie Nicks
Learn to be a stranger
Blond on blond
In silence she says excalibur
I beg of you now
What was it that fell
Was it
One fallen leaf
Like the feather that it was
Was freedom by choice
Or baby was it love
Was it a thorn in your side
Something that you hide
Something you don't touch
Because it hurts too much
Ooo
Well have you come to see
That my face is not seen
Ooo outside my frost covered windows
Oh and just how deep
Do you hold that dream
In your hands each night this time
In your hands each night this time
Oh was it you
I heard calling which voice
Well I know that you are going
Which voice
Did I force you to remember
In the sacred name of love
To be brave save the stranger
Sable on blond
Dark upon light
Because it hurts too much
Just how deep
Do you hold that dream
In your hands each night
In your hands each night
In your hands each night
Ooh I beg of you now
What was it that fell
Well this time I think it was you babe
This time
Ooo well I think it was you babe
This time
Ooo well I think that it was you baby
This time
Written by Kenny Loggins and M. Manchester.

Whenever I call you friend
I begin to think I understand
Anything we are
You and I have always been ever and ever
(KL/SN)
I see myself within your eyes
And that's all I need to show me why
Everything I do, always takes me home to you
Ever and ever
(KL)
Now I know my life has given me more
Than memories day by day...we can see
(SN)
In every moment there's a reason to carry on
(Chorus) (KL/SN)
Sweet love showin' us a heavenly light
I've never seen such a beautiful sight
Sweet love flowin' almost every night
I know forever we'll be doin' it
Sweet love showin' us a heavenly light
I've never seen such a beautiful sight
Sweet love flowin' almost every night
I know forever we'll be doin' it right

In every moment there's a reason to carry on
(Chorus)
Sweet love...sweet love yeah
Sweet love...sweet love yeah
I can see we're thinkin' bout the same things
And i can see your expression when the phone rings
We both know there's something happening here
Well,there's no sense in dancing round the subject
A wound gets worse when it's treated with neglect
Don't turn around ,there's nothing here to fear
CHORUS:
You can talk to me
Talk to me
You can talk to me
You can set your secrets free,baby
Dusty words lying under carpets
Seldom heard well must you keep your secrets
Locked inside hidden safe from view
Well,is it all that hard
Is it all that tough
Well,I've shown you all my cards now isn't that enough
You can hide your hurt
But,there's something you can do
You can talk to me
Talk to me...talk to me
I can set your secrets free,baby
La,la,la,la...
Though we lay face to face and cheek to cheek
Our voices stray from the common ground where they could meet
The walls run high, to veil a swelling tear
Oh,let the walls burn down,set your secrets free
You can break their bounds, cause you're safe with me
You can lose your doubt,cause you'll find no danger not here
(CHORUS)
Oh,i can see you running...i can see you running
I can see you running all the way back home
I can see your expression when the phone rings
And i can see your thinkin' bout the same things
Is it all that hard
Is it all that tough
well,you've taken all there is now baby
Isn't that enough
Well, i can see you runnin'...i can see you runnin'
All the way back
No one looked as I walked by
Just an invitation would have been just fine.
Said 'no' to him again and again - first he took my heart then he ran.
No one knows how I feel
what I say unless you read between mylines
One man walked away from me - first he took my hand
take my home.
Standback
standback
In the middle of my room I did not hear from you.
It's alright
it's alright to be standing in a line
Standing in a line
be standing in a line
I would cry.
Do not turn away
my friend
like a willow I can bend.
No man called my name
no man came.
So I walked on down away from you
Maybe your attention was more than you could do?
One man did not call
he asked me for my love and that was all.
Standback
standback
In the middle of my room I did not hear from you
It's alright it's alright
To be standin' in a line
To be standin' in a line
I would cry
So I walked on down the line away from you
Maybe your attention was more than I could do.
One man did not fall
well
he asked me for my love
that was all.
Standback
standback
In the middle of my room I did not hear from you
It's alright it's alright
To be standin' in a line
standin' in a line
To be standing in a line
I could cry
I feel I need a little sympathy
Well I need a little sympathy
Well I need a little sympathy
Well you could be standing in
Stand Back
Well you could be standing in
Stand Back
Well you could be standing in
Stand Back
Why don't you take me home?
Why don't you take me home?
Stand Back
Take me home
It's alright
Written by Sheryl Crow and T. Wolf.
I stood at the door
and watched while you drove away
driving my car,
in the rain, in the dark
Well, every dog seems to have her day.
I've been in this, alone so long
and I'm begining to wonder why I stand in one place,
a different name
a different face.
no ones gonna see me cry
I need someone to stand by me
stand by me, just one time.
I hope somebody stands by me
stands by me, just one time
I don't understand,
it's slipping through these hands.
I think by now I know,
where to let go
all I know is here I am baby
won't you stand by me?
I'm not bending tonight
but, I'm twisted and turned
and broken down
But Im starting to know
the sound of something,
no one, and yet,
everything.
Well if God's here tonight
are you here tonight?
Maybe you could grab me up,
stand me on my feet
give me strength
set me free.
Im not giving in till
I've had enough.
I need someone to stand by me
stand by me, just one time.
I hope somebody stands by me
stands by me, just one time
I don't understand,
it's slipping through these hands.
I think by now I know,
where to let go
all I know is here I am baby
won't you stand by me?
I need someone to stand by me
stand by me, just one time.
I hope somebody stands by me
stands by me, just one time
I don't understand,
it's slipping through these hands.
I think by now I know,
where to let go
all I know is here I am baby
won't you stand by me?
Stand by Me
Written by Stevie Nicks.
Take me if you need me
But never hold me down
You're asking me to trust you
Well there's little of that around
I'm trying to believe you
And I'm learning all the time
Two-part personality
The flower and the vine
Flower and the vine
Take me sleeping angel
Catch me when you can
Real love affairs are heavy spells
For a woman and a man
For a woman and a man
I need you because you let me breathe
Well you've taken me away
But never take me lightly
Or I could never stay
No I could never stay
Well, someday when we're older
And my hair is silver gray
A braid with all of the love that you have
Like a soft silver chain
Whoa, someday when we're older
And my hair is silver gray
A braid with all of the love that you have
Like a soft silver chain
Well, like a soft silver chain
Oh, take me sleeping angel
Oh, catch me when you can
And a braid with all the love that you have
Like a soft silver chain
Intense silence
As she walked in the room
Her black robes trailing
Sister of the moon
And a black widow spider makes
More sound than she
And black moons in those eyes of hers
Made more sense to me
Heavy persuasion
It was hard to breathe
She was dark at the top of the stairs
And she called to me
And so I followed
As friends often do
I cared not for love, nor money
I think she knew
The people, they love her
And still they are the most cruel
She asked me
Be my sister, sister of the moon
Some call her sister of the moon
Some say illusions are her game
Wrap her in velvet
Does anyone, ah, know her name
So we make our choices
When there is no choice
And we listen to their voices
Ignoring our own voice
Written by Stevie Nicks.
Sometimes it rages... rock a little
Even when it's calm... still rock a little
Just like the sea... I rock a little
Say it was just like me
Still rock a little
Then you knew her... funny little dancer
And you watched her all night long
You were trying to learn from her teachers
One thing that she wanted
She would not be tangled up... in it
Hit it,
It's about time, lily
Oh, I know lily
Rock a little
Hit the stage... Hit the stage
Rock a little
She's home now;
She says I've gone far beyond that song
She says rock and roll ballerina
Where else would she go?
He knows his daughter, says
Where does she live?
He says, Oh, up there somewhere
Then he says, Go ahead, lily
Hit it,
Hit the stage, dancin'... go on
Hit it... Well, I know lily
It's about time, lily
Hit it
Well, I know lily
It's about time, lily
Hit it
Hit the stage
Hit it
Hit it, lily
It's about time, lily
Hit it
I know, lily
It's about time, lily
Hit the stage
Hit it, lily
Lots of them
And all one of a kind
But the most importatn thing was
What was on her mind
Pale... pink... satin... worn out in a week
But you loved you the most
And you said...
Go ahead, lily
Hit it
No explanations and I tell you no
You say... Nothing
That is how songs are written
Stories are told, rumours are started
That is how songs are written
Stories are told, rumours are started
Go ahead, lily
Hit it
It's about time lily
Hit the stage, dancin'
I know, lily
Hit it
Hit the stage
Go ahead, lily
Hit it
It's about time lily
Hit the stage, dancin'
I know, lily
Hit it
Hit the stage
Go ahead, lily
Hit it
It's about time lily
Hit the stage, dancin'
I know, lily
Hit it
Hit the stage

Rhiannon rings like a bell thru the night
And wouldn't you love to love her
She rules her life like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover...
And who will be her lover...
All your life you've never seen
A woman - taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven
Will you ever win...
She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark-
And when the sky is starless-
All your life you've never seen-
A woman - taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven
Will you ever win...
Dreams unwind.
Love's a state of mind.
Written by Warren Zevon.
When you're all alone
And you need someone
Telephone and I'll come runnin'
Reconsider me
If the past still makes you down
Darlin', that was then and this is now
Reconsider me
And I'll never make you sad again
'Cause I swear that I've changed since then
And I'll never make you sorry if you try
Let's let bygones be forgotten
Reconsider me
Reconsider me
You can go and be what you want to be
It will be alright if we disagree
I'm the one who cares and I hope you'll see
That I'm the one who loves you
Reconsider me
I promise that I'll never make you cry
I'll never make you sad again
Written by Stevie Nicks.
I told you last night or did you tell me
I think that it was me and I know that you heard it
I was crazy about you that's how it always was
Do you think about me now as I sing about this love
When it rains it pours
When there's no one at the door
Yes he did send me flowers
Well that was a long time ago
Sounded good on a
Delicate white-ribbon card
"One more big time rock and roll star"
Just what I need
As you walk away you know that I will call
If it's just to say goodnight and that is all
Well alright that's a lie she says she wanted you to stay
But you know much better than she
She's better off this way
Undercover music lover
Oh undercover music lover and an art lover like me
There were candles, crystals, I was anyone's fantasy
Say I'm not 'cause the work just gets harder
The work gets...
Oh, one more big time rock and roll star
Written by Stevie Nicks and Sandy Stewart.
If it's me that's driving you to this madness
Then there's one thing that I'd like to say
Take a look at your life and your lovers
Nothing ever changes
Ooh it was just the first time
That I ever played for you
I could be the dancer of your dreams
I can turn all your music on
I can make you feel alive
I am gone but I'm never gone from you
It was just the first time
Come back little boy
Baby come back yeah little boy
Ooh it's just me that lies waiting
Well it could come from anywhere
Ooh it could come straight straight from my heart
Nothing can be saved here
I can turn all your music on
I can make you feel alive
I am gone but I'm never gone from you
It was just the first time
Come back little boy
Baby come back yeah little boy
Nothing ever changes you know it doesn't
Nothing ever changes oh you know it doesn't
Nothing ever changes you know it doesn't
Nothing ever changes

Wake up my sweet child
There's something I've got to say to you tonite
It's time you took a look at me
Cause there's so much more to me
Than meets the eye
Well, there's more to love than makin' time
The harder you look the more you'll find
It's never easy no matter what they say
Love's a hard game to play
The heart's the price you pay
Love's a hard game to play
No matter what they say
Win or lose, no matter what they say
Love's a hard game to play
The problem here is not my fear
The trouble is you can't convince yourself
For tonight, let's lose the past
Make love last
Put our worries up on the shelf
We've been through thick and thin, and back again
And we can endure love's sweet pain
Remember, starting the fire is easy
The hardest part is learning how to keep the flame
Love's like walking a real fine line
You get too close and you'll go blind
Let go too long and it will all drift away
Just when I feel like I'm losin' you
I hear them voices call
They say it's better to have lost at love
Than never to have loved at all
Lose or win, stand or fall
Well, there's more to love than makin' time
The harder you look, the more you'll find
It's never easy, no matter what they say
Written by Stevie Nicks.
Sunflowers and your face fascinate me
You love only the tallest trees
I come running down the hill
But you're fast
You're the winner
Long distance winner
Not unlike the blue white fire
You burn brightly in spite of yourself
I bring the water down to you
But you're too hot to touch
You're too hot to touch
Love somebody
Save their soul
Tie them to your heaven
Erase their hell
Save their lifestyle if you feel it
Don't try to change them
You never will
Sunflowers and your face fascinate me
You go into the dusty pink day
I come calling unto you
But you run
You're the winner
Long distance winner
Written by Stevie Nicks.
Temptation falls in your path
No hesitation why you ask
You have another waiting at home
And yes she matters to you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
She matters to you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
She matters to you
You didn't mean to meet her you cry
Oh but the sun goes down every night
She came to you when you were alone
And yes she matters to you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
She matters to you
I promised myself... a long time ago
It would be difficult to let you go
If not at least within
The touch of my fingers -
It was close to being
In heaven -
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
To being in heaven
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
Is to be... in heaven
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
I know I know

It's late
We got to get on home
It's late
We been gone to long
Too bad
We should have checked the time
Can't phone
We done spent every dime
It's late
We're 'bout to run out of gas
It's late
We got to get home fast
Can't speed
We're in a slow down zone
Baby, look at that clock
Why can't it be wrong
Could've left home at a quarter to nine
Could've had fun in plenty of time
We got started just a little bit late
I hope this won't be our last date
Look up
Is that the moon we see
Can't be
Looks like the sun to me
It's late
I hate to face your dad
Too bad
I know he's gonna be mad
It's late
We got to get on home
It's late
We been gone to long
Written by Stevie Nicks and R. Nowels.
Baby how much closer could we be
I swear you've become a part of me
You are with me everywhere I go
If you feel it I already know
Everything I say to you is true
I don't want to tell you what to do
But if I were you
I would take the love I'm giving to you
Oh if I were you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
If I were you
I would trust in me like I trusted in you
Oh, if I were you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I know what you're dreaming when you sleep
You have secrets I will always keep
And in every morning when we arise
I see my reflection in your eyes
Every boy must learn to be a man
Maybe I can help you, yes I can
But if I were you
I would take the love I'm giving to you
Oh if I were you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
If I were you
I would trust in me like I trusted in you
Oh, if I were you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Well, I believe that love is a living thing
Born into our destinies
From a single moment of inspiration
And as it grows it changes your life forever!
But if I were you
I would take the love I'm giving to you
Oh if I were you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
If I were you
I would trust in me like I trusted in you
Oh, if I were you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
If Anyone Falls
written by s. nicks, s. Stewart
I hear a voice...in the room next to mine
Feels good...sounds good...
Closes the door from behind
And another voice...comes thru the door
I am dealing with a man
When away from me...stays deep inside my heart
And he says if anyone falls in love
It will be one of us
If anyone falls in love
Somewhere...in the twilight...dreamtime
Somewhere...in the back of your mind
If anyone falls...
And I heard someone say
As my eyes turned away
He said "I have loved many women
I have many times...run away"
Ooh...I have never known the words
Well I have tried to be true
Well I have never known what to say
How to say...seen anything today
Never seen...anything...like you
If anyone falls in love
Somewhere...in the twilight...dreamtime
Somewhere...in the back of your mind
If anyone falls...
So I'm never gonna see you
Never gonna see you...deep inside my heart
Oh I see your shadow against
Shadow against...shadow against the wall
Baby I see your shadow against the wall

One so young so changed
Should not be left alone
Two in love should confess
And not be left alone
I will run to you
Down whatever road you choose
I will follow you down
I will run to you
You've had time come around
Will you please make up your mind
I stand accused on trial
Will you please make up your mind
I will run to you
Down whatever road you choose
I will follow you down
I will run to you
Make it easy for me
I been lonely baby
Show some mercy honey
I was nothing
All those lonely nights
Showed me something
If you need me
I'll come runnin'
I will run to you
Down whatever road you choose
I will follow you down
I will run to you

Outside my door the rain is falling
A cold, wild wind will come
Well there's someone for me somewhere
But I still miss that one
No I never got over those blue eyes
I see them everywhere
And I miss those arms that held me
Baby, when all the love was there
Well I Wonder if he's sorry
For ending what we had begun
Well there's someone someone for me somewhere
Baby, well I still miss someone
And I never got over those blue eyes
I see them everywhere
And I miss those arms that held me
Ooh baby, when all the love was there
And I never got over those blue eyes
I see them everywhere
And I miss those arms that held me
Baby, when all the love was there
Baby, when all the love was there
Baby, when all the love was there

You say I have everything
Well I'm living on dreams and chains
But I sing for the things money can't buy
You say you don't believe
Well could you just look at me
Look deep into my eyes my love
Well have you ever been in love
Have you touched the soul of someone
Did the fear inside you make you turn and run
I'll take off my cape for you
I'll take down my hair for you
Anything you want me to do my love
Well, I'll sit home and wait for you
Oh darling there's nothing that I'd rather do
Anything you want me to do my love
Make you turn and run away from me
Oh, she said anything baby
Written by Stevie Nicks and Keith Olsen.
Has anyone ever written anything for you
In all your darkest hours
Have you ever heard me sing
Listen to me now
You know I'd rather be alone
Than be without you
Don't you know
Has anyone ever given anything to you
In your darkest hours
Did you ever give it back
Well, I have
I have given that to you
If it's all I ever do
This is your song
And the rain comes down
There's no pain and there's no doubt
It was easy to say
I believed in you everyday
If not for me
Then do it for the world
Has anyone ever written anything for you
In your darkest sorrow
Did you ever hear me sing
Listen to me now
You know I'd rather be alone
Than be without you
Don't you know
So, if not for me, then
Do it for yourself
If not for me then
Do it for the world

Though deep set and somewhat shadowed
Her life...her mystery
Well It's not so different than the way that he said
"So don't hide behind your eyes from me that way baby"
?
In his heart he wishes her stardom
His eyes want for her much more
That's not so different
Than the way that he said
"There are so very few stars left"
?
Don't hide behind your hair
It's a bit of gold and braid
Easy come the tears
You see a pathway ending with a doorway
You slip toward the doorway
Been waiting there all day
All these years
?
Don't hide it
In his heart he wishes to forget her
Like to make it better
And hold her like a child
?
Don't hide your eyes that way
Don't hide anything not anymore
Because I never did not love you
I never did run from you
In a dream I said to you
That I'd always love you
When the lights go down
In the California town
People are in for the evening
I jump into my car
And I throw in my guitar
My heart beatin' time with the breathing
Driving over Kanan
Singing to my soul
'Cause people out there
Turn the music into gold
My buddy Jim Bash
He is working pumping gas
And he makes two fifty for an hour
He's got rhythm in his hands
As he's tapping in the cans
Sings rock and roll in the shower
California girls are the prettiest in the world
Each one a song in the making
Singin' rhymes with me, I can hear the melody
Written by E. Jones.
Through the mist I see her face
Looking down on me
Don't know the time, don't know the place
Let her eyes watch over me
She comes in deepest sleep
Can't help but fall at her feet
Won't let her in for all I've seen
This I will take to my grave
I see her walk on water
Head held up high
Playing in God's garden
I'll be there to hold you when you cry
The path grown over through the years
Walking on the pain towards my fears
Talking to myself for comforts sake
Holding on so I won't break
Sometimes I hear angels sing
Their tears wash away my sins
Don't know what my destiny will bring
Just spend eternity with me
Written by Stevie Nicks.
There is a gate
It can be guarded
Well it is not heaven
And it has a garden
So to the red rose
Grows the passion
And the guardian
Well it's now you know
It's just a few days away
It's now you know
And it's then
It's just a game that we play
Someone steals it
Someone steals it away
Scares you to death
You don't give in to yourself
You give in to your friends
Don't send an answer
How many times have you said
Do I love you
Well I always did everynight
Nobody knows nothing 'bout it
Well it's now you know
It's everywhere
You say you seek the truth
I say all is fair
Don't send an answer
How many times
Have you said
Do I love you everynight
Well I always did
Nobody knows nothin' 'bout it
Wo do I love you
Well I always did everynight
Nobody knows nothin' 'bout it
They know nothing 'bout it
They know nothing' 'bout it
Do I love you Ooo
Wo
Do I love you Ooo
Do I love you Ahh
Do I love you Ooo

She's a good girl, loves her mama
loves Jesus, and America too
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too
It's a long day livin' in?Reseda

I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart

All the good girls are home with broken hearts
Repeat Chorus
I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
I wanna free fall out into nothin'
Gonna leave this world for awhile
Repeat Chorus
A huge fire was burning
And her eyes grew strangely bright
She turned around in her room
What could she take and still survive the fire
But then again, there was a window
You know it's an illusion
There is no fire burning just a soul crying
So cry for me take a little time and then stop
It's just something that you cannot see so stop
She swings around on the second story
I'll get down she says
Well there is no fire burning just a soul crying
I will you know
So I take it to the limit
I will you know as I always have
I understand your position
I withdraw my decision
Well I've got no more information for you
So still there is a fire that no one sees
She doesn't even see it either
Or so everyone thinks
But then again, there was a window
You know it's an illusion
There is no fire burning just a soul crying
There's no fire
There is no fire
Well there's no fire burning just a soul crying
Dreams
words and music by Stevie Nicks
Now here you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down
It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat...drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost...
And what you had...
And what you lost
Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say...women...they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean...you'll know
Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me
Who wants to wrap around your dreams and...
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness...
Like a heartbeat...drives you mad...
In the stillness of remembering what you had...
And what you lost
What you had...
And what you lost
Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say...women...they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean...you'll know
Written by Stevie Nicks.
It was one for you it was three for me
It was very nice it was everything
So here it is in little pieces
I just played the part I didn't win or lose
Maybe next time I'll think about how I'm feeling
"Cause I'm doing the best that I can
And the whispered secrets go on and on
No one says anything to anyone
You watch after her and your word is law
She thought she was out there but nobody saw
I didn't win or lose I just threw the cards
But I paid a price for it
And it's alright, baby I'm doing the best that I can
And I'm trying hard to change I'm doing it the best that I can
Well because fate causes fortune and fortune takes it away
Well it's alright, baby I'm doing the best that I can
I was silent I was locked away
But I covered my tears
Silent all day
It's out of my hands here
In my distress well I wanted someone to blame me
In my devastation I wanted so to change
In my way disaster was the only thing that I could depend on
But it's alright, baby I'm doing the best that I can
Yes it's alright, baby I'm doing the best that I can
Because fate causes fortune and fortune takes it away
And then fortune causes nightmares nightmares that make you crazy
It's alright, baby I'm doing the best that I can
It's alright, baby I'm doing the best that I can
Oh he says well I hear you're doing fine and you're doing the best that you can
Well he says oh, I hear you're doing fine and you're doing the best that you can
Ooh she says it's alright, baby I'm doing the best that I can
Yes it's alright, baby I'm doing the best that I can
Oh and he says I hear you're doing fine and you're doing it the best that you can
Oh and he says ooh I hear she's doing fine and she's doing it the best that she can
Oh and I paid a price for it
I'm doing the best that I can
I was born in the desert
So I know how it feels there...
Well look up...it's a shooting star
But it's as black as night...no stars
Well this is the first thing,
That I've written
Since I wrote about freedom...
And then the wall came down
Well we thought it was a great,...beginning
People were free to cross the line
But then something happened...in the desert
Something broke the stars...into pieces
Well I live below...a great red mountain
In the shape of a great huge beast
In a place the indians call...Paradise Valley
Well this has always been my sanctuary
I send that to you...too
There on the other side of the world
In the desert...
And we are the guardians
No black clouds...just the faces of you
So where is my father,
Where has he gone
Where is my husband
Where is my son
Where is my father
Where has he gone
What is it that happened here,
Is it real...This war...
This can't be happening
Ooh well I need to see you
In your...far away war
And you should know...how much we love you They call us here, Operation Desert Angel...
They call us here, Operation Desert Angel...
In waiting...Operation Desert Shield Operation Desert Storm...Operation Desert Angel
(1991) Timespace - The Best of Stevie Nicks
You couldn't wait for answers
You just had to try those wings
And all your happy-ever-afters...
They didn't mean a thing
So I'm not gonna try at all
To keep you from the flame
Just remember not to call...my name...
When you cry wolf
Once too often
You cry wolf
No, I won't come knockin'
You cry wolf
I won't hear you anymore
If you start to stumble
If you start to crack
If you're feeling humble...
Don't look back
When you cry wolf
Once too often
You cry wolf
No, I won't come knockin'
You cry wolf
I won't hear you anymore
You can try but you can't get me...
Into the fire
'Cause I'm all out of sympathy...
And, baby, I can't walk this wire
Find yourself somebody new
To catch you when you fall
'Cause I got just one thing to say to you
And, baby, that's all...
When you cry wolf
Once too often
You cry wolf
No, I won't come knockin'
You cry wolf
I won't hear you...
You cry wolf
Well, once too often
You cry wolf
No, I won't come knockin'
You cry wolf
I won't see you...
So you cry wolf
Once too often
Cry wolf
On no, I won't come knockin'
If you cry wolf...
I won't see you...
You're not a stranger to me
And you are something to see
You don't even know how to please
You say a lot...but you're unaware how to leave
My darling lives in a world that is not mine
An old child misunderstood...out of time
Timeless is the creature who is wise
And timeless is the prisoner in disguise
Oh who is the beauty...who the beast
Would you die of grieving when I leave
Two children too blind to see
I would fall in your shadow...I believe
My love is a man who's not been tamed
Oh...my love lives in a world of false pleasure and pain
We come from difference worlds...we are the same (my love)
I never doubted your beauty...I've changed
I never doubted your beauty...I've changed
Changed...who is the beauty
Where is my beast (my love)
There is no beauty
Without my beast (my love)
Who is the beauty
Who... (my love)
Ahhh...
Oh...la bete...la bete
Where is my beast
My beauty...my beauty
My beautiful...beautiful...beautiful
This was not pre-planned but after some calls
I decided to go to the other side of the world
I see something, I see a handsome soldier
I see myself remaining when all of you are gone
And the reason that I paint you in my paintings
And the reason I record the sound of your voices
No one walks away from this battle
From the power, it's so strong
Like a fury
Keep that fury deep inside you
And wish it to end
And when your friends start asking you why
You just say nothing
The beautiful and the sensitive and the oh so very young
We are adapting to your silence
I can live here without you
At least I'm learning
But I cannot live without your songs
Who have you been with?
Have you been with friends...or is there more?
(You're not listening to me)
Have you been writing, well you say it's harder now
Well I got the message, stay among the living
From what I can tell I need to be here
You say someone's looking for you, nothing is wrong
Well I can and I will go on
When this battle is over
I feel I will survive
In the battle of the dragon
No one walks away
Oh, you wish it to the end...wish it to the end
Written by Stevie Nicks and Sandy Stewart.
Something in my heart died last night
Just one more chip off an already broken heart
I think the heart broke long ago
That's when I needed you
When I needed you most
That's when I needed you
When I needed you most
I run around like a spirit in flight
Fearlessness is fearlessness
I will not forget this night
Dare my wild heart
Dare my wild heart
Where is the reason
Don't blame it on me
Blame it on my wild heart
As to the seasons
You fought from the beginning
Long before I knew it
There was a danger
And the danger was
To fall in love
In dark sorrow
They gaze down into the darkest heart
If I leave you
You say not even you can tear us apart
Say you're leaving
You say you don't even know
How to start how to start how to start
Well believe it then
And don't blame it on my soul
Blame it on my wild heart
Ooo on my wild heart Ooo
Fire on fire rain on my face
Fever goes higher what can you do
Wild in the darkest places of your mind
That's where I needed you
Where I needed you most
That's where I needed you
Where I needed you most
Where is the reason
Well don't blame it on me
Blame it on my wild heart
There is a reason
Why even the angels
Don't give up at all
Where are the children
Well are they hopelessly enchanted
Blame it on the angels
Where are the reasons
Don't blame it on our wild hearts
Wild heart wild heart wild heart
On my wild heart
On my wild heart
Even in the darkest places of your mind
Wo are the children are they hopelessly enchanted
Wild in the darkest places of your mind
No don't blame it on me, baby
Blame it on my wild heart
Blame it on my blame it on my blame it on my
Blame it on my wild heart
Even in the back of your even in the back of your mind
Written by Stevie Nicks and M. Campbell.
Would you change your mind, at the very last moment
Would you say stop for a second I'll bet you could think for a minute
In the morning light he says when will I see you
She says I don't think tomorrow, baby
Sometimes I wonder if things would change if we stayed together
Would you change your mind, at the very last minute
I think you should stop for a second Think for a moment
This could be a whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble for you
Well this could be a whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble for you
And the angel said well you must have had a dream
And you remember it 'till the dream followed through
Till the end of the dream and the dream came true
When I want something I get it
You'd better go he says yes I think I better
Stop for a moment I think you should think for a minute
Would you change your mind, at the very last minute
When I want something I get it
Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble for you
Well this could be a whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble, baby
Whole lotta trouble for you
Oh yeah, oh yeah not guilty have mercy!
Oh he says you could be my prisoner
Well you're not living in the real world
You're not living in the real world
You're not my friend you're not my love
And this is something that we really don't discuss
Where are you sometimes I hear you crying
And I wake up and I get through it
Well this could be a whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble for you
Well this could be a whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble, baby
A whole lotta trouble for you
Written by Stevie Nicks.
Even when the warning is
Even when the warning is
So where have you gone
Have you gone so far from the eyes that
Speak trouble and even when the warning is
Overwhelming
Well it's hard to hide from
Eyes that are all over you
That only some
Make you lose your composure
"Well it's hard on my heart"
Said, "Well open your eyes"
"Yeah, it gets harder every day"
Said, "I need to know now "
Soon you will be gone
Take your violet and blue
Mornings with you
ooh woo ooh ooh
ooh woo ooh ooh
So you hide out
Like you think that you never left
Tried to tell him that his heart is in his hands
Ooh, yes
"Well it's hard on my heart"
He said, "Open your eyes"
"Yeah, it gets harder every day"
He said, "I need to know that"
Soon you will be gone
Take your violet and blue
Mornings with you
ooh woo ooh ooh
ooh woo ooh ooh
Ten thousand times
Oh I tried to tell you
When you close your eyes
Well I can't see inside you
With the touch of your hand
Well it starts again
Whoa yeah!
Every though the warning is
So we both play
It gets under your skin
And we both the love the road
But the roads are different
"You know it's hard on my heart"
Ooh, he says "open your eyes"
"Yeah, it gets harder every day"
He says, "I need to know"
Soon you will be gone
Take your violet and blue
Morning with you

Step into the velvet of the morning
Let yourself lay back within your dreams
Take on the situation but not the torment
Now you know its not as bad as it seems
Well I know you'd like to come away
But baby you can't come
Your fortune is your life's love
Oh and anytime you think about leaving
Think about what you know
Well think about it...
Think about it before you go
Even when you feel like your life is fading
I know that you'll go on forever You're that good
Heartbreak of the moment is not endless
Now your fortune is your life's love
Well honey...
I know you'd like to come away
But baby you can't come
Your fortune is your life's love
Wo and... anytime you think about leaving
Think about what you know
Well think about it...
Think about it before you go
And the heart says danger
And the heart says whatever
It is... that you want from me
I am just one... small... part...
Of forever...
Falling... star... star...
Catcher
Even when you feel like your life is fading
I know that you'll go on forever You're that good
Heartbreak of the moment is not endless
Your fortune is your life's love
Well honey... I know you'd like to come away
But baby you can't come
Your fortune is your life's love
Anytime you think about leaving
Think about what you know
Well think about it...
Think about it before you go...
Well think about it
Think about it before you go...
And the heart says danger
The heart says whatever
Think about it...
Think about it before you go

I've been walking under rainbows too long to tell
You keep walking down mean streets
my street angel
I try to bring you in out of the cold
But street angels live on the street
And they always will
Street angels aren't like anyone you know
They do what they want and they go where they go
They may tell you
that you hold the world in your hands
But they always give it back
They always give it back
No amount of crying changes your mind
No amount of praying brings you inside
I know that you love me
and that you always will
You just stand outside and call to me
My sweet street angel
A Charles Dickens character,
with your top hat and your scarf
When you pull me through the rainbow
I thought you'd stop
But you didn't you turned around
You went back to the children and your music
And the people that you love
I can't help but wonder if
Every one in a while you remember the girl
When you were a homeless angel
that drove you wild
Strange and elusive
No amount of crying changes your mind
No amount of praying brings you inside
I know that you love me and that you always will
You just stand outside and call to me
My sweet street angel
So I ended it all for the both of us
I fell down the stairs a broken rag doll
But you never knew you just thought I went away
With nothing more to hope for
But you don't hear voices anymore
No my sweet street angel
Written by Jon Bon Jovi and Billy Falcon.
Well I've run through rainbows and castles of candy
I cried a river of tears from the pain
I try to dance with what life has to hand me
My partner's been pleasure my partner's been pain
There are days when I swear I could fly like an eagle
And dark desperate hours that nobody sees
My arms stretched triumphant on top of the mountain
My head in my hands down on my knees
Sometimes it's a bitch sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch sometimes it's a breeze
I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure
I've laid down with love and I woke up with lies
What's it all worth only the heart can measure
It's not what's in the mirror but what's left inside
Sometimes it's a bitch sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch sometimes it's a breeze
You gotta take it as it comes
Sometimes it don't come easy
I've run through rainbows and castles of candy
And I've cried a river of tears from the pain
I tried to dance with what life had to hand me
And if I could I'd do it all over again
Sometimes it's a bitch sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes the picture just ain't what it seems
You get what you want but it's not what you need
Sometimes it's a bitch sometimes it's a breeze
Well it's a breeze it's a breeze it's a breeze
You could be my silver spring....
Blue-green..colors flashin'
I would be your only dream.....
Your shinin' autumn....ocean crashin'....
Don't say that she's pretty....
and did you say that she loves you...?
Baby I don't wanna know.
So I'll begin not to love you...
Turn around, you'll see me runnin'
I'll say I loved you years ago...
And tell myself you never loved me....No......
Don't say that she's pretty....
And did you say that she loves you...?
Baby, I don't wanna know....Oh no.....
And can you tell me...was it worth it....?
Baby, I don't wanna know..
Time cast a spell on you...you won't forget me...
I know I could've loved you but you would not let me....
Time cast a spell on you...but you won't forget me...
(I was such a fool)
I know I could've loved you, but you would not let me..
(Give me one more chance)
I'll follow you down 'til the sound of my voice will haunt you..
(Haunt you)
You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you..
Repeat....ad lib....
Written by Stevie Nicks and R. Nowels.
In the shadow of the castle walls
Wherever those walls were
Well you used to love to be behind those walls with her
Within these walls
Well he watched from the corridor
Watched from the corner of his eyes
Seemingly waiting for the time
When the castle walls would all fall down
Yes it was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh but there was a time when he called her angel
Where in the world did you come from?
In the shadow of the castle walls
Wherever those walls were
In this land or in that land
Well the castles all seem to belong to her
And all this talk about love and hate
And our separation way on down the line
Well they just can't wait, can they?
No they just can't wait
Yes it was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh but there was a time when he called her angel
Where in the world did you come from?
Yes it was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh but there was a time when he called her angel
Where in the world did you come from?
There was a light that lighted the way to the chamber
Where they spent all their time, well
There was a light that lighted the way to the chamber door where
They seemed to spend all their time
Ooh my love Ooh my love Ooh my love
Yes it was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh but there was a time when he called her angel
Where in the world did you come from?
Yes it was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh but there was a time when he called her angel
Where in the world did you come from?
Yeah it was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Hey, hey, baby No one can take you away from me no no one
In the shadow of the castle walls
Written by Stevie Nicks.
I was just that old
That August dark, dark day
Swear that you never saw her face
Swear that you never heard her say
No spoken word
No small command
What was it she wanted
They say she had everything
No spoken word
No small command
What was it she wanted
They say she had everything
What shall I do
What shall I say
Should I say
Who all the things
That I'd like to say to you
No spoken word
No small command
What was it she wanted
They say she had everyting
Let's make a deal here
Ooh, for one night
Well baby, you fill the night with the
Wind and the rain and the water
Oh, for one night
Well, just for one night
You know that well that
Disasterous sound
Now it will make me wiser
He says, and it will make you look
She says, look out
I don't know how to learn
From the pages of a book
Well I either say too much, or I
I don't say enough
Well I play too hard
Still I'm not tough enough
What was it she wanted
They say she had everything
No spoken word
No small command
What was it she wanted
They said she had everything
Ooh come around tonight indecent
Well
Ah, ha come around
Tonight, indecent baby well,
You fill the room
With the rain and the wind and the water
If you tell me,
One more time
Oh baby, take it easy
Well, you won't see me ever again
Some people walk down that darkened street
With the faith of a child
And so go the faithless
But after awhile, she says
No spoken word
Let's make a deal here
No small command
What was it she wanted
They said she had everything
Ooh, I don't want to know about it
Written by Stevie Nicks.
You used to call me wicked
I used to call you friend
They say your life is wild
Compared to what lifestyle
You must have many things to remember
Cause nothing else in your life has really changed
Everything is almost like it was before
And I don't want to do this anymore
When you lose your sight
Love is like a river
And there's nothing to see
Love is like a river
She was just like me
Love is like a river
And suddenly the day comes
Some call it love
Some say they're above that
Well I believed in love
I called it worth it
Some call me all the time
Love is like a river
Well love is like a river
Love is like a river
And when you lose your sight
And suddenly the day comes
Everything all around me is electric now
But I haven't burned a candle in a real long time
And only when your heart says it's over does it die
Well love is like a river running
Straight back to the sea
Some call it love
Some say they're above it above that
Well I believed in love
I called it worth it worth it
Well some call me all the time
Love is like a river
I say you can't stay home and give up the fight
Love is like a river
I think you're uptight lady ooh, out of sight
That's just what I wanted to hear ooh, out of sight
You know you can't stay home
In the middle of the night
Love is like a river
You can't say no in the middle of the night
Love is like a river
I think you're uptight lady ooh, out of sight
And you can't say no in the middle of the night
Love is like a river
Well I think you're uptight lady uptight lady
Ooh, out of sight out of sight, baby
Written by Stevie Nicks and Mike Campbell.
I'll stay with you one more night
I'll bid you no goodbyes
Not until tomorrow's light
Then I'll say goodnight
I would really rather die
Than make you stop
I think that is the meaning of love
I think that is the meaning of love
And I prefer to kick it
Yes I think that is the meaning of love
And I prefer to kick it kick the habit
Well I'm waited for in Egypt
It's just something I must do
Yes I can see you're waited for all over you
All day and all night all over the world
It's your world
I think that is the meaning of love
And I'm prepared to kick it
Yes I think that is the meaning of love
And I prefer to kick it
So what is this when you can
What is this what about me
What is this (What is this)
I understand (I understand)
What is this I'm lonely I'm lonely (I'm lonely)
It's a strange kind of love affair
A symphony of sorts
Strange kind of love affair
A declaration of war
No I won't be here tomorrow night
You won't see me smiling
Tomorrow when it's very dark No crying
I think that is the meaning of love
And I prefer to kick it
Yes I think that is the meaning of love
Surrender
Well I think that is the meaning of love
I think that is the meaning of love
And I prefer to kick it
Yes I think that is the meaning of love
But I prefer to kick it
Well I loved you more than life itself
Nothing like forever more
But I'm prepared to kick it
(Something like dying
Yes I loved you more than life itself
But I'm prepared to kick it
Written by E. Jones.
Well I was sitting down talking to myself again
I pick up the phone you're on the other end
Sometimes to talk to you is all I need
To make me feel at home again
We can talk away the time like it was yesterday
You make me feel like I feel when I sit down and play
And I understand it's not how we planned
But we'll make it
Just call me inspiration
I remember your voice at the station
You whispered to me at the station
Just call me inspiration
And you put down the phone I feel so alone
Sometimes I just can't stand it
But it's all worthwhile when I see that smile
I feel like I'm up a mile high
And I understand it's not how we planned
But we'll make it
Just call me inspiration
I remember your voice at the station
You whispered to me at the station
Just call me inspiration
We'll these past few weeks I've had time to remember
Those times we spent together
The days we just decided to stay inside
To be with one another
And those times they mean so much to me
And you have to know how much you mean to me
And I really really want you to be with me
Cause I love you
And I understand it's not how we planned
But we'll make it
Just call me inspiration
I remember your voice at the station
You whispered to me at the station
Just call me inspiration
Just call me inspiration
Just call me inspiration
Rhinestone collections all the time
I wonder what Gretta would say
Another lady, another time
Another heartbroken state of mind
Alone in her chambers she dreams of her home
Outside she's got a movie star view
Outcries well, where will the kings go
Where will the kings go now
She's got her eyes wide open
And she's ready to stare you down
She says, in words unspoken
She's from out of town
Well, some cry well, I really don't dance down
Stormy weather it cuts like a knife
She's got her bags packed and she's off to the valley
Where the sun meets the sea, you understand that
She wants to live by the ocean and no one is pleased
She gets a house in the mountains
The next day, the next day she leaves the station
Do you really want to change her
Or is it your right
Ooh alone in her chambers she dreams of her home
In a very real way she's the purist art form
I bet she said, just how many art lovers
Can one get to know, she doesn't have an hour
She doesn't have five minutes, she's got to go
She's got her bags packed and she's off to the valley
Where the sun meets the sea, you understand that
She wants to live by the ocean and no one is pleased
She gets a house in the mountains
The next day, the next day she leaves the station
I wonder what Gretta would say
Well, I wonder what Greta would say
I wonder what Gretta would say
Ooh, she's got a movie star view
Oh well, where will the kings go
Where will the kings go now
Written by Stevie Nicks and M. Campbell.
And the rain was there
There were many nights
And a few of them, were all that you had dreamed of
Love was the thing
And you feel as if someone was following you
But you know you are wrong
It's just the ghost of what you want to be
And the ghost of the past that you live in
It's just the ghost of what you really want
And it's the ghost of the past that you live in
And it's the ghost of the future you are frightened of
So you look to your guardian angel
So long ago I was an innocent
It had nothing to do with age
One day they were lovers one day they were friends
There was nothing else to say
Well just the ghost of what you want to be
And the ghost of the past that you live in
It's the ghost of the future that you're so frightened of
So you turn to your guardian angel
And a few of them were all that you really dreamed of
Love was the thing
So the silver-haired girl looks for escapism
To feel the empty spaces she's feeling
She depends on her music like a husband
And she knows it's no good to fall in love again
One day they were lovers one day they were friends
There was nothing else to say
It's just the ghost of the past of what you want to be
And the ghost of the past that you live in
Ghost of the future that you're so frightened of
So you look to your guardian
So you look to your guardian angel
Some of them are here on earth
Well some of them are way up there in heaven
So you look to your guardian angel
Some of them are here on earth
Some of them are way up there in heaven heaven
Crying in the morning...trying to be strong
Waiting for the spring to turn into the fall
Love don't mean what it says at all
And destiny says that I'm destined to fall...
Enchanted...you thought you saw something in my eyes
Enchanted...it's a shame that you wanted me...
You didn't try...
Why the sad face...oh darling...
Was it my darkness...shadow light
I mean to cause no trouble for you
That is the story of my life...
Enchanted...you thought you saw something in my eyes
Enchanted...it's a shame that you wanted me...
You didn't try...
Enchanted...wo it's just a voice thru the night
Enchanted...well I hope you make it...
You were gone...you were gone from me
When I remember someone...I remember their dreams
In those dreams...that no one knows of
My destiny says that I'm destined to run...
Enchanted...Ooo...you thought you saw something in my eyes
Enchanted...it's a shame that you wanted me...
You didn't try...
Enchanted...well it's just a voice thru the night
Enchanted...well I hope you make it...
Enchanted...well...I hope you make it
Wo...wo...wo
You--beloved
Were to me--everything
That love stood for
To love one another for awhile
Was enough--
It was all that I lived for
How can I go on without you
How can I go on--without you
I tell myself--this time
I'm going to have to--
Move on
Chorus:
It's like
Bombay sapphire
Hey I can take you higher
Whatever you desire
I can mend your heart
It is green
It is aqua marine
It is colors I have never seen
I can see past you--to the white sand...
It is blue
It is not about you
It is all true
You know--who I am
And she says, the sea never changes--not really
It is the constant in my life
I always return here
To the flash of those colors
Through every window
The wind through the night
Here I am dramatic
Here I am not waiting
For the call of the wind
Chorus
It's like purple haze
It's there every day
Its passion never fades
You know what I mean
There was no message to be found anywhere in sight
Inside or out
I had looked everywhere but the only lamp left on in the house
Was a blue light
I was not ready
I'm no enchantress and I was too proud
Go find some Christmas angel then give that to her
If that's what she wants guardian angel...guardian
If you were wiser you would get out
Downstairs the big old house is mine
Upstairs where the stars still laugh and they shine
Downstairs where the big old house is mine
Outside where the stars still laugh and
Stars still laugh and shine
And the stars still laugh and cry and shine
And the stars still laugh and cry and shine
And the stars still laugh and shine and shine
Don't listen to her, listen through her
Some Christmas angel
Freedom well give that to her
Oh, if that's what she wants, guardian angel...guardian
If you were wiser you would get out
And the light that shines through the shining night
Is a lamp that I carried from my mother's home
And the light that burns through the window pane
And the love remains
And the guardian of your "Challenge" does not cry...
(1981) Heavy Metal soundtrack
Well I heard she flew down to the Mountain City
He said, "That's not what I heard...I hear she went higher."
She depended on her friends to tell her when to stop it
To make a statement...this is me talking to you
Like Alice through the Looking Glass...
She used to know who she was
Call out my name...call out my name
But I get no answer...she prays...
"Better run for your life!" cried the Mad Hatter
"Alright," said Alice..."I'm going back...
To the other side of the mirror...I'm going back..."
Oh no, you cannot tell a gypsy...ooh, that she's no longer a member
Become a deadly weapon now...along with everything else
Oh call my name...
Like Alice through the Looking Glass...
She used to know who she was
Call out my name (like Alice through the Looking Glass)
but I get no answer (she used to know who she was)
And she prays for the world that she comes from
Each had their own charm...
Buried beneath a solid piece of armour...or a steel plated vest
Some carry a stiletto in their garter along with everything else --
that they carry...Oh, call my name...
Like Alice through the Looking Glass
She used to know who she was
Call out my name (like Alice through the Looking Glass)
But I get no answer (she used to know who she was)
And she prays for the world that she comes from
Alice!...call my name...
"Ooh run for your life..." said the Mad Hatter
"Alright," said Alice..."I'm going back to the other side of the mirror"
This is me talking to you...well this is me talking to ya
You've left me now
And it's seasoned my soul
And with every step you take
I watch another part of you go...
I continue to build a wall
You were so strong, I fell to my knees
And I don't think I can handle this at all...
Well one more night
I'd like to lie and hold you, Yes and feel...
To make you smile,
I'd like to be there for you, Have you forgotten Me?
And the days go by
Doing nothing about them...
How much time
Will I have to spend?
My mind won't rest
and I don't sleep,
Not even in my dreams...
If you ever did believe
for my sake
If you ever did believe...
And the days go by
Doing nothing about them...
How much time,
Will I have to spend
And the days go by
Doing nothing about them...
How much time,
Will I have to spend
Well one more night
I'd like to lie and hold you, Yes and feel...
To make you smile,
I'd like to be there for you, Have you forgotten Me?
Oohh...
Baby don't leave me
Oohh...
Baby don't leave me
Oohh...
Baby don't leave me
Oohh...
I'm down on my knees
Oohh...
Baby don't leave me
Oohh...
I'm beggin you please
Oohh...
Baby don't leave me
Oohh...
So I´m back to the velvet underground,
back to the floor that I love,
to a room with some lace and paper flowers,
Back to the gypsy that I was,
to the gypsy that I was,
doo, doo, doo, doo.
And it all comes down to you.
Well, you know that i does.
Well, lightning strikes,
maybe once, maybe twice.
Ah, and it lights up the night.
And you see your gypsy,
you see your gypsy.
To the gypsy that remains,
who faces freedom with a little fear,
I have no fear, I have only love.
And if I was a child, and the child was enough,
enough for me to love, enough to love.
She is dancing away from me now.
She was just a wish,
she was just a wish,
And a memory is all that is left for you now.
You see your gypsy, oh,
you see your gypsy, ooh, ah.
What's cheaper than free?
You and me
What's better then alone?
Going home
What does money not buy?
You and I
What's not to feel?
When love is real
What's faster then a fast car?
A beating heart
What's deeper then a deep well?
The love into which I fell
More important then freedom?
Being near
More exciting then our fashion?
High passion
What's brighter then a smile
You child, You child
What's brighter then a smile
You child, You child
You child, You child
What's warmer then a sun drenched land?
Your hand
Your hand
Every night that goes between
I feel a little less
As you slowly go away from me
This is only another test
Every night you do not come
Your softness fades away
Did I ever really care that much
Is there anything left to say
Every hour of fear I spend
My body tries to cry
Living through each empty night
A deadly call inside
I haven't felt this way I feel
Since many a year ago
But in those years and the lifetimes past
I did not deal with the road
And I did not deal with you I know
Tho the love has always been
So I search to find an answer there
So I can truly win
So I try to say
Goodbye my friend
I'd like to leave you with something warm
But never have I been a blue calm sea
I have always been a storm
We were frail
She said
"Everynight he will break your heart"
I should have known from the first
I'd be the broken hearted
But I loved you from the start
Save us. . .
And not all the prayers in the world--
I'm tired
I'm thirsty
I'm wild-eyed
In my misery
Timeless in your finery
It's a high price
For your luxury
Sorcerer
Who is the master
A man and woman on a star stream
In the middle of a snow dream
Sorcerer
Show me the high life
Come over
Let me put you on ice
All around black ink darkness
And who found lady from the mountains
All around black ink darkness
And who found lady from the mountains
Lady from the mountains
I'm tired
I need you badly
I'm wild-eyed
In my misery
Timeless in your finery
It's a high price
For no special reason
I am leaving you for awhile tonight
I'm flying far above you
Still I love you
You make things right
I've been with you before
I'll be with you again
I'll come back for more, yea
The story has a strange ending
Well, you know me I'm a nomad
I can't feel bad
About the way I am
I've been rolling around
My whole life
You're my candlebright in the window
You guide me back again
And I come when you shine
You are not my friend, no
But I am something of a dreamer
I am something of a dreamer
I am something of a dreamer
Still I love you
My candlebright
You are not my friend
But still I love you
You're my candlebright
Still I love you
But you are not my friend
But still I love you
You--beloved
Were to me - everything
That love stood for
To love one another for awhile
Was enough -
It was all that I lived for
How can I go on without you
Can I go on - without you
I tell myself - this time
I'm going to have to -
Move on
It's like
Bombay sapphires
Hey I can take you higher
Whatever you desire
I can mend your heart
It is green
It is aqua marine
It is colors I have never seen
I can see past you - to the white sand...
It is blue
It is not about you
It is all true
You know--who I am
The sea never changes - not really
It is the constant in my life
I always return here
To the flash of those colors
Through every window
The wind through the night
Here I am dramatic
Here I am not waiting
Here I am not listening
For the call of the wind
It's like purple haze
It's there every day
Its passion never fades
In the beginning, She was stunning and pure,
When he first saw her, he fainted to the floor.
She was distant and arrogant from the start,
She did not see the fragile state of his heart.
She fell in love with him on that very day,
She became softer in every way.
Chorus:
Even though they were so in love,
They drew a line in the sand just because.
They did not know each other, they did not trust.
The only thing that they did together was to make love.
So paradise found was like paradise to him.
Oh yes he loved her but he was still an Englishman.
Tropical birds and the heat and the ocean,
Oh it drove her crazy drove her away from him.
Chorus
She burned his house down saying you may have forgotten me,
But you'll remember this, you fell to the ground when you saw this.
My face, my eyes, my lips
You may have forgotten me, but you'll never forget that kiss.
Chorus
The big house burned down all around her,
In the smoke and the fire.
In the devastation they never found her.
She went back into her red dress back to her white house to her ocean.
And after that no words were spoken about the two of them ever again.
Chorus
In the beginning she was stunning and pure.
In the smoke and the fire they never found her.
She went back into her ocean, back to her white house.
For a while they were so in love.
For a while they were so in love.
She burned his house down.
My face, my eyes, my lips.
You may have forgotten them
You may have forgotten them
You may have forgotten them
Don't explain
Just lay back and watch the rain
Cause darling I'm right here
And nothing's changed
Don't you know by now
I would not even know how
To keep myself from falling for you
I'll be around
Unconditional love
I'll be there when you fall
The one condition of love
Is there are none at all
Why would I
Be a fool and break these ties
When all the dreams that I believe
Are in your eyes
Don't you see at last
You don't even have to ask
I'll give you so much more
Than just a second chance
Hey, hey, hey my precious one
Ooh and on you run
You search for love and you hate searching
You wait for love and you hate waiting
You say I hate this
Well it's just another test
'Cause there are two kinds of love
To do the thing that we do the best
My masterpiece
Who in the world do you think that you are fooling
Well I've already done everything that you are doing
Well the two of us, well we must be
A great temptation to have even started
Well don't you know, as you walk on by
That great temptations never really die
Well I talked to my famous friend last night
My third day up well, his second nighter
He says I don't know how you do what you do how do you
let the world in
Well I say well there's no way out
Then I just play out the game
Well the two of us Widow and a Dove
Who in the world do you think that you are fooling
Well I've already done everything that you are doing
Well the two of us, well we must be
A great temptation to have even started
Well don't you know, as you walk on by
That great temptations never really die
Ooh the two of us
Estranged sometimes for their very survival
Outraged at each other engaged to each other in their hearts
But they live apart
Two kinds of love
One for the way you walk
One for the way you love me
You're a great temptation
Two kinds of love
One for the way you walk
One for the way you love me
I remember him, he was very young
No one spoke like him, he was someone
And I carried on, like I couldn't stop
All of it for us baby
And you, you got in my way
Stood between me and my friends
It was my sin, it was my shame
You were unconscious to the pain I was in
I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
I run through the grass
I run over the stones
Down to the sea
Show me the way back, honey
I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
I run through the grass
I run over the stones
Show me the way back...to the sea
With honor be it spoken
To understand this light that we carry
And let it light your way
Of course, you know, I generally take it
Well I make accommodations for you
And consider this
You used to be my love
I make excuses for you
You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby
I know you can, I've seen you do it
And it brings up the wind
And it rises around you in pillars of color
But the promise has been broken
As you walk through the shadow of death
You try to see no evil
But you are heartbroken
You say, dear God, make it stop!
Before the dawn of separation
Brings up the wind
Rises around you
I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
Pillars of color
Trouble in Shangri-La
I make accommodations for you
I guess we don't believe
That things could go that far
We all believe in people...
That we think believe in God
Somewhere in the night...
Someone feels the pain
The ones who walk away
Try to love again...
You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby
Because you are so heartbroken
You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby
Before the dawn of separation
You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby
There's a plane, it's headed for London
Twenty-four hours more and he'll be on it
And I can't show my love, and I can't stop it
Ooh, I can't stop it
There's a house there, somebody's waiting
Somebody else's arms will wrap around him
And in that moment what will he think then...
When I can't touch him
Maybe my love could fly over the ocean
Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone
All that I really know is that he's goin'
Too far from Texas
Too close to home
In a room just outside of Houston
That's where I spend my nights trying to get through to him
He says he's comin' back in every letter...
But he might never
No he might never
Does he know how long
I've waited for this love to come
Does he know I'm holdin' on
And that won't change no matter where he's gone
Couldn't I, couldn't I wait
Thrown down through the arms of sleep
She fell through the ivory morning
Deep into the waters of the one she called love
She paled in the wake of what some call a dream
But you cannot know a dream
Till you've known the nightmare
When I stood with you against the storm
And I tried once again, well I said
"I'd like to leave you with something warm"
How many times drowning in the sea, drowning
That was when the dream took her prisoner
And she knew the dream was over
But, the nightmare was not over
Still some call that a dream
The nightmare, the nightmare
Well, you cannot know a dream
When you turn away you don't know
You'll never care, the night is not your friend
And you have not had her and when the nightmare ends
But you never understand when you're gone
She wakes up calling out, oh, calling out
As children may cry as she will
Anytime, oh, anywhere blinded by the light of the day
She has known the nightmare, so about the moon
And her sisters, how dare he take them prisoner
Well, if she had flung out her heart against him
Then in all of her wisdom, oh well, that was a mystery
That was when the dream took her prisoner
And she knew the dream was over
But the nightmare was not over
Somewhere in her ancient ways
She walks through the night
And then she tries to get through the day
Some will never know or share any kind of dream
The nightmare, this is not the world
This is not the world, this is not the world
The nightmare, she wants him to fight anytime, anywhere
She wants him to stand up, she wants him to win
This is not the world, this is not the world
This is not the real world, blinded by the light of the day
Blinded by the light, she was blinded
Alas he was the highwayman
The one that comes and goes
And only the highway-woman
Keeps up with the likes of those
And she in all her magic
With hands as quick as light
Took him to be a challenge
And went into the night
And he in all his glory
Was far ahead of her
But she was never sorry
For wishes that would burn
Enter competition
She chases beneath the moon
Her horse is like a dragonfly
She is just a fool
And she wonders is this real
Or does she just want to be queen
And he fights the way he feels
Is this the end of the dream?
And then he sees her coming
Heartbeats on the wind
Considers slowing down
But then, he could never win
And she out in the distance
Sees him against the sky
A pale and violent rider
A dream begun in wine
And she wonders is this real
Or does she just want to be queen
And he fights the way he feels
Is this the end of the dream?
A dream as the thunder wakes her
And her highwayman disappears
Or a life already lived before
In eyes welled with tears
Today and still today they ride
Will they ever win?
He the glory, she the love
Still they try again
He the glory, she the love
Still they try again
He the glory, she the love
Dreams reoccur in my solitude
Breaking my heart
Injuring my mood
With all of the things that I thought I knew
It was you
Well the conversation rings in my head
Well you know me better than I know myself
Will you write this for me
He says no, you write your songs yourself
That made me stronger
It made me hold on to me
Well, I remember
You caught my eye
It was late September
It was no surprise
He made me better
His songs were soft and tender sometimes
Well the conversations ring in my head
I remember everything that we said
All those tears that we shed
The conversations ring in my head
I remember everything that we said
All those tears that we shed
Don't call me when you're lonely
Well once more I tell the shadows of my soul
To stay back
Everything has changed now
And I don't want to go back
And nothing you can say can change my mind
Well once more I tell the shadows of my soul
To stay back
Everything has changed now
And I don't want to go back
And he says, "What do you love to do?
Outside your world who spends time with you
From whom do you learn when you're not working
Sweet girl"
"Where would you go if you had the time?
Crossing some crazy state line somewhere?
To whom do you cry when people are unkind
Sweet girl"
I chose to dance across the stages of the world
Everyone said I'd never learn, I still hear your words
I waited all my life for you
Sweet girl
I did try to come back and listen
You never knew that I didn't wish it
But I did hear every answer, every question
It's all about protection
Still through the sunlight days I wait
Track a ghost through the fog
The sun is burning me
And you come running out in the wind with me
The ocean is your blanket
I chose to dance across the stages of the world
Everyone said I'd never learn, I still hear your words
Well, I waited all my life for you
I watched you fly across the world in a golden ball
Many of the cities, I never saw at all
Sometimes I think I was always on-call
Sometimes even I am allowed to fall
He says, "Come down here for a minute
Duet with Tom Petty
Baby you'll come knocking on
my front door
Same old line you used to use before
I said "Yeah, well
what am I supposed to do?"
I didn't know what I was getting into
So you've had a little trouble in town
Now you're keeping some demon down
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my heart around
It's hard to think about
What you've wanted
It's hard to think about what you've lost
This doesn't have to be the big get even
This doesn't have to be anything at all
I know you really want to
tell me good-bye
I know you really want to
be your own girl
Baby you could never look me in the eye
Yeah you buckle with the weight
of the world
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my heart around
(instrumental)
There's people running 'round loose
in the world
Ain't got nothing better to do
than make a meal of some
bright eyed kid
You need someone looking after you
I know you really want to
tell me good-bye
I know you really want to
be your own girl
Baby you could never look me in the eye
Yeah you buckle with the weight
of the world
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my heart around
Stop draggin' my heart around
In the beginning, I believed in love and things
It happened like a hurricane
I could never really tell you what this did to me
I could never make it better for you, anyway
Thing is, time was
Part of me used to love you
Part of me still does, this light here
Some become strangers
Did it have to be so easy to live without it
I was hoping to remember you with just a smile
Now the memory of giving you is giving out
Well, I could say that I knew it all the while
Thing is, time was
Part of me used to love you
Part of me still does, this light here
Some become strangers
Didn't want to be the one to say goodbye, in a stranger's eyes
Look how we've changed
I don't really need this in my life
Why don't we forget about it
Thing is, time was
Part of me used to love you
Part of me still does, this light here
Some become strangers
Let your soul become a stranger
Baby, you're no stranger, you're no stranger not that I am
Well, you've become that stranger
And let your soul become a stranger
Well, you're no stranger not that I am
Alright, baby, well, I think you will like Sister Honey
She will help you make up your mind
Even if you don't need her, tell her you need her
She needs you brother, she needs you brother
Strange fascination some kind of temptation
To know Sister never having allowed yourself
Do you understand the word, pleasure
Well, you say it's just never crossed your mind
And she believes you
Can we still be friends, the answer's always yes
Even best intentions turn around one day
Saying
Nobody's right, baby, all the time
And a fool never knows what he's leaving behind
So take some time to know the real story
'Cause a soul that's true is your ride to glory
Don't let that golden hair get in your way, baby
Can we still be friends, the answer's always yes
Even best intentions turn around one day
Saying
Come back solemn stranger it's your last chance
She's almost gone, now and she'll go fast like a jet plane
And then fast like a star stream she'll hit you with a fury
Whispering the words one more time, baby, one more time
Come on it's time to go upstairs
But I don't want to be leaving you here
I can't go be in that room alone
When I know that you're down here in tears
I'm not asking "forever" from you
I'm just asking to be held for awhile
In a timeless search for love that might work
Still we're already paying the price
But you need some rest
My darling, it's best
But we've already passed it, I cried
Ooohee...
Listen to me
My secret love secretly
Died
Come on it's time to go upstairs
But I don't want to be leaving you here
I can't go be in that room alone
When I know that you're down here in tears
I'm not asking "forever" from you
I'm just asking to be held for awhile
In a timeless search for love that might work
Still we're already paying the price
But you need some rest
My darling, it's best
But we've already passed it, I cried
Ooohee..
Listen to me
My secret love secretly
Died
Oh, you need some rest
Oh, you need some rest
My darling, it's best
Ooh...
My secret love secretly
Wait a minute, baby
Stay with me awhile
Said you'd give me light
But you never told me about the fire
Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone
They say it doesn't matter what for
When you build your house, call me
He was just like a great dark wing
Within the wings of a storm
Well, I think I had met my match
He was singing and undoing
Oh, he's undoing the laces, undoing the laces
Sara, you're the poet in my heart
Never change, never stop
And now it's gone
They say it doesn't matter what for
When you build your house, call me
Hold on, the night is coming
And the starling flew for days and days
I'd stay home at night all the time
Well, I'd go anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
Ask me and I will be there
You just ask me and I'll be there
Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone
They say it doesn't matter what for
When you build your house, call me
Sara, you're the poet in my heart
Never change, don't you ever stop
It's never gone
It always matters what for
When you build your house, I will come by
Sara
All I ever wanted was to know
That you were dreaming
There's a heartbeat
No, it never really died
You never really died
Would you swallow all your pride?
Could you speak a little louder?
And the wind became, oh crazy
There's a heartbeat and it never really die
Crazy, crazy
All I ever wanted was to know
You never promised me a rose garden
You never said it would be easy
You never promised me a leisure lifetime
You only said you'd never leave me
Well, I never took the time to realize
How much I needed love in order to survive
I was so spoiled, a princess in my time
And your love was so deep and mine so blind
You never promised me a ring made out of diamonds
A band of gold you said was all you could buy
You never said I'd be a rich man's lady
And oh my darling no, you never lied
Well, I never took the time to realize
How much I needed love in order to survive
But I was so spoiled, a princess in my time
And your love was so deep and mine so blind
And now you're gone and I'm alone and I'm so lonely
Nothing seems to be the same
One day I turned around and you no longer loved me
In my life there's been a big change
Now I've a big house
With pillars standing tall all around
Yeah, and I've got a garden
And it's got roses dangling down to the ground
Yes, and I've got money, men to love me and acres of land
Well, I've got all these things, all these things but a small gold band
On my finger on my left hand, on my finger on my left hand
No, no, you never promised, you never promised me a rose garden
Somewhere out in the back of your mind
Comes your real life and the life that you know
It seems like it was the creation of some of those same old things
It seemed to be the only thing left out in the light
She had trusted many
But been unfamiliar with
Almost everyone but you
Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire
Everytime that you walk in the room
Well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself
I have known this much longer than I've known you
She had trusted many
And then there would be someone who would enter into her presence
That she could sense for miles
She dreamed of her wanton luxury
And she laughed and she cried and she tried to taunt him
And he hated to be separated
From that picture No
Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire
Everytime that you walk in the room
Ooh, well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself
Well I have known this much longer than I've known you
Long nets of white cloud my memory
Long nets of white cloud my memory
Ooh there is magic all around you
Everytime you walk in the room
Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire
Everytime that you walk in the room
Well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself
Sometimes it rages, rock a little
Even when it's calm, rock a little
Just like the sea, still I rock a little
Say it was just like me, still rock a little
Then you knew her, funny little dancer
And you watched her all night long
You were trying to learn from her teachers
One thing that she wanted, she would not be tangled up
Hit it, hit it
It's about time, Lily
Well, I know, Lily
Hit the stage, dancin', hit it
She's home now
She says, "I've gone far beyond that song"
Rock and roll, ballerina
Where else would she go?
He knows his daughter, says
"Where does she live?"
He says, "Oh, up there somewhere"
Then he says, "Go ahead, Lily"
Hit it, hit it
It's about time, Lily
Hit it, well, I know, Lily, hit it
Hit the stage
Lots of them and all one of a kind
But the most important thing was what is on her mind
Pale, pink, satin, worn out in a week
But she loved you the most and you said
"Go ahead, Lily, hit it"
No explanations and I tell you no, you say nothing
That is how songs are written
Stories are told, rumors are started, ooh butthey still stay
Go ahead, Lily
Hit it, hit it
It's about time, Lily
Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
Takes through the sky like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?
All your life you've never seen a woman
Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you Heaven?
Will you ever win?
She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless
Cause once in a million years
A lady like her rises
Rhiannon you cried but shes gone
And your life knows no answer
And your life knows no answer
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
She rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
She was alive like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?
Cause once in a million years
A lady like her rises
Rhiannon you cried but shes gone
And your life knows no answer
And your life knows no answer
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Taken by, taken by the sky
Taken by, taken by the sky
Taken by, taken by the sky
Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
Dreams unwind
The bright light is lying down
The earth and the sea and the sky
Is at rest with the ocean
And the days go by
They go into the seas that have no shores
Haunted by that same closed door
Looking up at skies on fire
Leaving nothing left of us
To discover
And the planets of the universe
Go their way
Not astounded by the sun or the moon
Or by the day
You and I will simply disappear
Out of sight
But I'm afraid soon there'll be
No light
No doubt, no pain
Come ever again, well
Let there be light in this lifetime
In the cool, silent moments of the nighttime
We will never change again
The way that we are changing
Well, you'll forget the chill of love
But not the strain
Now I know
Well, I was wrong
To live for a dream
If I had my life to live over
I would never dream, no
I still wish you gone
And I will live alone
Yes, I will live alone
You will never love again
The way you love me
You will never rule again
The way you ruled me
You will never change again
Outside the rain the heart skips a beat
Oh you're lonely
Creature of the night it's been almost a week
Could you love me only?
Look at me for a very long time
Look long enough to all
Love is a word I've been trying to find
Words don't matter, they don't matter at all
So you're still lonely
You say that it's been forever
Maybe you never knew me
Maybe you thought that I'd never change
But you know I'm changing
You're wrong and it's been like dying
No love's that hard to find
And I'm tired of and I'm tired of trying
And I'm tired of trying
Maybe it's only a dream
I don't want to feel that
Well it's one more link in a chain
I don't believe that
Outside the rain then the heart skips a beat
Oh you're lonely
Creature of the night it's been almost a week
Could you love me only?
Look in my eyes touch my face
Baby, there's no one
That can take my place
Look in my eyes touch my face
Baby, there's no one
That can ever replace that heartache
Take away that heartache
Love is a word that some entertain if you can find it
You have won the game
And the summer became the fall
I was not ready for the winter
It makes no difference at all
'Cause I wear boots all summer long
My eye make up is dark and it's careless
Some circles around my eyes
Sometimes the real color of my skin
Is my eyes without any shadow
And when I call
Will you walk gently
Through my shadow
The ones who sing at night
The ones who sing at night
The ones you dream of
The ones who walk away
Capes pulled around them tight
Crying for the night
Cry for the nightbird tonight
And so the winter is really here now
And the blankets that I love
I am surrounded sometimes
By too much love
And when I call
Will you walk gently
Through my shadow
The ones who sing at night
The ones who sing at night
The ones you dream of
The ones who walk away
Capes pulled around them tight
Crying for the night
Cry for the nightbird tonight
And the darkened eyes
Through the net of the lace
In the darkness
It's hard to see her face
Pulls back the net
And you feel the touch
Of her fingers
And you see she turns the eyes
And you see the eyes of a nightbird
The ones you dream of
Finally the nightbird
I'm beside myself
Cause I don't know and you won't tell
Your distant world has somehow pulled me in
It's so surreal
So out of time with you it feels
To give again
But you don't need a thing
Maybe love will change your mind
Maybe this time
Maybe love will change your mind
Maybe this time
A look a touch
Just because I wanted them
To mean so much
You might not feel the same
The day would end
And you'd go back to where you've been
A kiss for luck
I wish you could have stayed
Maybe love will change your mind
Maybe this time
Maybe love will make it clear
Oh, what words would keep you here
Maybe love will reach your heart
Thought I saw it in the dark
Maybe love will change your mind
Maybe this time
You want me to be there
You take me somewhere
You show me your lifeline
Reveal your other side
I would say but the words won't come
I just come undone
All I want to do is to be closer to you
La la la la la La la la la la
Maybe love will change your mind
Maybe this time
Maybe love will make it clear
Oh, what words would keep you here
Maybe love will reach your heart
Thought I saw it in the dark
Maybe love will change your mind
This time Maybe love
Maybe love
Well you want me to be there with you
Do you know what this is
No, I don't
But whatever it is
It's very powerful
Have you felt this way before
Oh, I thought I knew
Do you know that I love you now
Oh yes, I do
Love is...
You've got the softest lips
You know that I cannot stay
Yes, I know
It has nothing to do
With you or with love
Oh, yes it does
Do not call or come around here
Do not tell
You know that I loved you then
Oh well...
Love is...
You've got the softest lips
Love is...
The touch of your fingertips
Love is...
Knowing you won't let go
She awakens things
That he said he thought were dead
He says, are you happy now
Oh yes, I am
But when it's over
How then will you feel
Will you miss those arms that used to go
Around you
So she stood there in the hallway frozen
In the dark
And her heart broke down
She cried
She fell to the floor
One tear slid across her lips
To the corner of her mouth
Love is...
And dropped to the floor
Love is...
You've got the softest lips
Love is...
The touch of your fingertips
Ooh, she says love is
Knowing you wont let go
Love is...
Watching you go
You're so very powerful
Love is...
Am I happy
Yes I am
Do I know you love me now
Yes I do
Do I know you cannot stay
I know
All about love
All about love
It wasn't that I didn't love you
I just couldn't make you see
That as hard as I tried
To make it all better
It was not better for me
The love that I gave you was...
All around you
There was nothing left for me
But I hate to say it
But I saw it coming
My feelings were changing
I only say what you want to hear
When there is a conflict
I stay clear
When he was loving I was in tears
He knows my fears
I wish I could figure a way around this
She says...like a sad song
I don't understand the way that I feel
I am terrified of being wrong
Well, I am not happy
And I am not crazy
Are you listening, do you hear
Everything happens for a reason
Stay clear
I only say what you want to hear
When there is a conflict
I stay clear
When he was loving I was in tears
He knows my fears
When love changes in the flash of an eye
It leaves people burnin' by the side of the road
You stand there you got nothing to hold
For the first time you are alone
For the first time you are alone
It wasn't that I didn't love you
But I just couldn't make you see
That as hard as I tried to make it all better
It was not better for me
The love that I gave you was all around you
There was nothing left for me
But I hate to say it
But I saw it coming
My feelings were changing
I only say what you want to hear
When there is a conflict
I stay clear
When he was loving I was in tears
He knows my fears
When love changes in the flash of an eye
It leaves people burnin' by the side of the road
You stand there you got nothing to hold
For the first time you are alone
For the first time you are alone
That don't mend the sorrow
Can I be of any help to you, baby
She says help me, help her, help him too
Well I made up my mind I won't be calling
I think about you and
I think about the heartbroken ones
It's a real long way to go to say goodbye
I thought we already did that
Have fun tell the world
Well it's a real long way to go to say goodbye
I thought we already did that
Have fun tell the world
High in my life obsessive was my love
Worth it was my time Oh no, you are fading out
Well I can do it
Well I can make it one more time
It's a real long way to go to say goodbye
I thought we already did that
Have fun tell the world
Well it's a real long way to go to say goodbye
I thought we already did that
Have fun tell the world
Can I be of any help to you?
She says help him, help her, help him too, baby
Well I can do it
Well I can make it one more time
Well it's a real long way to go to say goodbye
I thought we already did that
Have fun tell the world
Well it's a real long way to go to say goodbye
I thought we already said that
So have fun tell the world
You were high in my life obsessive was my love
So have fun tell the world
Oh no, you are fading out
Well can you be of any help to me
Can I be of any help to you
I don't think so
Help him help her
Well I can do it
Well I can make it
Well can you be of any help to me
Have fun tell the world
Is love so fragile
And the heart so hollow?
Shatter with words
Impossible to follow
Saying I'm fragile
I try not to be
I search only
For something I can't see
I have my own life
And I am stronger
Than you know
But I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you won't be walking out the door
Still I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you won't be walking out the door
Lovers forever, face to face
My city or mountains
Stay with me, stay
I need you to love me
I need you today
Give to me your leather
Take from me my lace
You in the moonlight
With your sleepy eyes
Could you ever love a man like me?
And you were right
When I walked into your house
I knew I'd never want to leave
Sometimes I'm a strong man
Sometimes cold and scared
And sometimes I cry
But that time I saw you
Knew with you to light my nights
Somehow I'd get by
Lovers forever, face to face
My city or mountains
Stay with me, stay
I need you to love me
I need you today
Give to me your leather
Take from me my lace
Lovers forever, face to face
My city or mountains
Stay with me, stay
I need you to love me
I need you today
Give to me your leather
Take from me my lace
Take from me my lace
I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Till the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older and I'm getting older too
Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older and I'm getting older too
Oh, I'm getting older too
Awh, take my love, take it down
Awh, climb a mountain and turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well, the landslide bring it down
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well, the landslide bring it down
Nobody feels any pain, tonight as I stand outside the rain
Everybody knows that baby's got new clothes
But lately he sees her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
And she makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl
Queen Mary she's my friend, yes, I believe that I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess, that baby can't be blessed
Till she finally finds out that she's like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamines and her pills
Well, she takes just like a woman, yes, she does
And she makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl
And it was raining from the first and I was dying there of thirst
So I came in here
And your long time curse hurts but what's worse is this pain in here
I can't stay in here, ain't it clear
That I just don't fit, yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
When we meet again, introduced as friends
Well, please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world
Oh, I fake just like a woman, yes, I do
And I make love just like a woman, yes, I do
And I ache just like a woman
But I break, yes, I break just like a little girl
She takes just like a woman
(She makes love)
She makes love just like a woman
(She takes love)
She aches just like a woman
(Oh, but she breaks, yes, she breaks)
She takes just like a woman
(Yes, she does)
And she makes love just like a woman
(Yes, she does)
And she aches just like a woman
It was way too hard, it was way too tough
On this she had not bargained
But she was like some missionary dancing to the beat of some
Man?s ancient drum
And she tries hard to tell this story
But it?s a hard one to tell
She consults her book of miracles
Cry and the wind says fly on
Well, now you?re on your own
You?re back out on the road again for a million reasons
Well, you?re back out on the road again
And you try to tie together some connections
You get some ribbons and some bows
And get back out on the road again
So you found a queen without a king
Oh yes and everyone here loved her
No one was wrong
But you?re a little bit like her
You?re just a little bit like her
Little bit like her, a little bit like Juliet
Turn to the blue crystal mirror well as always it is truthful
Oh, well you see it in the reflection of the real blue lamp
Well tie the connection get some ribbons and some bows
And get back out on the road
But when they were good
They were really good
Really good stranger
So you found a queen without a king
Oh yes and everyone here loved her
No one was wrong
You?re a little bit like her
You?re just a little bit like her
Little bit like her, a little bit like Juliet
Let the crisis become a bridge
And cross that bridge tomorrow
Well, let the time that goes between, baby
Well, let it let go of the sorrow
She says, "The sky is crying", he says, "No, the sky is blue"
He says, "The sky is not crying", he says, "The sky is blue"
She says, "The sky is crying", he says, "The sky is blue"
Can you get into that?
The sky is crying he says, "No, the sky is blue"
And can you get into that?
Can you get into that?
I think I met my match again
Passing 'round the candlelight
In the center of this blizzard
You stood and melted all the ice
Ah, it's only love
Ah, it's only love
Ah, if only love comes around again
It will have been
Worth the ride
You were master of so many
But savior to none
I waged all of my hopes so plenty
On you, now look what I've become
Someday's lonely is not only
A word, but faces I have known
And if you see me, could you free me
Every night you
You tell me everything
Is going to be fine
You calm my nerves when
You hold my hands
Yeah, it feels so fine
Chorus:
I'm just at the other end of your night
I'm always in and out of your light
Right down the middle of all your dreams
In your dreams
Every night you
You love to hear me sing
It's going to be fine
You calm my fear down
It's not a problem
No need to cry
Repeat chorus
Bridge:
Are all those tears necessary
For all that pain that you carry?
You just send those tears away
Come in out of the darkness
It's a beautiful day
Repeat chorus
I'm wishing your wish
I'm wishing my wish
Is going to come true
I'm just a dreamer
A storyteller
It's all about you
Repeat chorus twice
In your dreams
He says to her, "Why do you do it?"
She says to him, "Why do you stay?"
Then they say unspoken words to explain it
He says, "Baby, I hate to see you this way
I hate to see you, I hate to see you cry"
Well, you can get her
But you can't keep her
And you can't catch her fall
She will call you
When she needs you
You know where she lives
The Imperial
She sits across the table the same glass table
Cries to her friend, "Why am I so alone?"
He says, "Wo baby, baby, baby, baby
This is the path you have chosen"
She probably goes under another name
Well, that's a good idea
So, you can get her
But you can't keep her
And you can't catch her fall
Well, she will call you
When she needs you
You know where she lives
The Imperial Hotel
Who's there?
Where has she gone?
But, I think she just went home
Sits across the table same glass table
And she cries to her friend, "Why am I so alone?"
He says, "Wo, wo, baby oh, my baby
You have to know you have to know"
She knows in her heart
That he will stand by her
Anywhere don't cry, baby
I can save you
Don't cry baby, I can save you
She's at the Imperial Hotel
When I think about you
I think about how much I
Miss you when you're not around
When I think about you
I think about how much I
Can't wait to hear the sound
Of your laughter
Time and distance never matter
Well I miss you now
I have so many questions
About love and about pain
About strained relationships
About fame as only he could explain it to me
Seems like yesterday
I think about how much I
Wish that you were here with me now
The invisible girl that was my name
She walks in and walks out
And I'm sorry now
I'm sorry now
Paris to Rome, London to Paris
Always goodbye, I nearly couldn't bear it
Her heart settles down
She's back on that staircase
Yes, I know you
Sometime she talks to him
Sometimes when she's only dreaming
Then when she wakes up
Somehow she still believes him
Yes, I know you
Tho we've been out of touch
Yes, I know you
To be continued, it's too much baby
I can't wait...I can't wait
Well, I've got to know when I can see you again, now baby
I can't wait...I can't wait
Am I wasting my time while you make up your mind
Well, I can't wait...I can't wait
Yes, I know you
Tho we've been out of touch
I can't wait...I can't wait
What can I do when I'm crazy for you
She wonders how many more hours
Her heart will feel broken
In secret she says she needs to see him
But no words are spoken
She dances around in a circle
Well she's got that feeling now
Blame it on something at first sight
Put the blame on me if you want to
To be continued
I can't wait...I can't wait
Am I wasting my time while you make up your mind
Well, I can't wait...I can't wait
I got to know when I can see you again
Well, I can't wait...I can't wait
I can't wait...I can't wait
I can't wait...I can't wait
Still the same old story
What price glory
You make it easy
In the still of the night
In the still of the night
How still my love
In the still of the night
How still my
Doing all you can for me
They say you're not the man for me
Don't make it easy
In the still of the night
In the still of the night
How still my love
In the still of the night
How still my
Standing in the doorway
Watching out to sea
Calling out to me
You go your way
Go on go on
But you won't forget me
Ooo no, you don't forget me
Ooo no, my lonely one
Doing all you can for me
They say you're not the man for me
I don't make it easy
In the still of the night
Me talking to you
How still my love
In the still of the night
How still my love
In the still of the night
It's me that's talking' to you
In the still of the night
It's me that's talking' to you
In the still of the night
What happened to her?
I thought she was here
Through the eyes of love
I saw her through her tears
I saw her smile
I saw her move on
Like a ghost through the fog
The ghost is gone
What happened to them?
I thought it was here
Through the eyes of a child
After all these years
He wasn't true
He wasn't clear
Oh not even to his song
The ghosts are gone
Gone are the ghosts
Now forgotten, yeah
Gone is the lost world
It's easy to change
Gone are the lost girls
Gone are the lost girls
The girls went home
What happened to them
They opened their doors
They walked right through
They knew it was wrong
Wrong to be swept away
To think they belonged
There was only sadness
The boys are gone
Gone are the ghosts
Gone is the lost world, yeah
You're too crazy to change
But never forgotten
Gone are the lost girls
Gone are the lost girls
Gone...
The girls went home
What happened to him?
I thought he was here
Through the eyes of love
I saw him through his tears
I saw him smile
I saw him move on
Like a ghost through the fog
A ghost through the fog
The ghost is gone
I saw him smile
I saw him move on
Like a ghost through the fog
And the ghost is gone
What happened to him?
I thought he was here
Through the eyes of a child
I saw him disappear
He wasn't clear
Not even to his song
The ghost is gone
The ghosts are gone
Ghost through the fog
Like a silver shadow
Gone wrong
Like a ghostly whisper
She's gone
Like a silvery rainbow
Like a ghost through the fog
Like a ghost through the fog
Like a golden rainbow
Like a golden rainbow
Like a song
Like a ghostly whisper
Gone wrong
Like a silvery rainbow
Goin' down
I love to waltz with a man in a dark linen suit
All alone-at a party with someone I knew
From a time gone by turned into stone
You could be Garbo or even Marlene
You could be Marilyn...
Or you could forget
I play the part but then all of us do
And I do it so well as I do it to you
In this town full of strangers
In this town full of fools
Venus doesn't glitter when she stands next to you
When you're waltzing through stardom
You miss what you lose
Lose yourself in a silvery dress
For you think you must do what you feel you do best
And you mustn't give it up for you're still but a guest
You could be Garbo or even Marlene
I choose to be his confidant
And to keep him from the fire
I choose to be quietly discreet
If that is his desire
I touch with gossamer wings
To be quiet around you
There is so much going on
You could easily
Wake up with a stranger
It's not something you plan
One night in a world of pain
And you finally understand
Not all the king's horses, not all the king's men
Could put it back together
You say you wouldn't do this for very long
The applause from it all is so defining
Well it bounces off the wall at you
When the miracle is happening
High priestess...she's the keeper of the peace in this
Twice as much, intensified
What people will do
To get...this...high
And now alone in my room
As it all begins again
Was I so wrong
Why am I always so intense
In this same place I sit
The same place as before
Well I came all the way here
Just to watch you walk out that door
I didn't ask when you shook your head
I always accepted what you said
As the truth and the truth only
Well it's not enough that you depend on me
And it's not enough that you say you love me
It's not enough to just save face
Because sometimes
You just fall from grace
Sometimes
You just fall from grace
Maybe I am calmer now
Maybe things are fine
Maybe I made the whole thing up
Maybe it isn't a lie
Maybe the reason I say these things
Is to bring you back alive
Maybe I fought this long and this hard
Just to make sure you survive
She was so enticed by his smile.
She was so unaffected by his dream.
For his dream of her was just not possible.
She was so not that girl.
It was just one of those things that happened or didn't happen.
A strand of golden hair-tangled like the words of a song, like a spider's web
Then he said...
-CHORUS-
Everybody loves you
But you're so alone.
Everybody knows your name
But you can't find your way home.
No one really knows you
I'm the only one.
She was so enchanted by his voice.
She was so shaken by his words.
His plan for her was just not possible.
She had no words.
Boy it isn't just that we cause each other such pain at home or on the stage.
Sometimes was heavenly... sometimes was too heavy.
I looked the other way.
-CHORUS-
Don't come here again unless fear of fire leaves you cold.
And the cold makes you tired.
If you feel at all-it's all about desire.
About when you were true.
About a bird on a wire... that was you.
She does still hear him all nite long.
The same song over and over... it heals her heart.
No voice of a stranger could play that part.
Broke her heart... broke her heart.
It was one for you...it was three for me
It was very nice...it was everything
So here it is...in little pieces...
I just played the part...I didn't win or lose
Maybe next time I'll think about how I'm feeling...
"Cause I'm doing the best that I can
And the whispered secrets...go on and on
No one says anything to anyone
You watch after her...and your word is law
She thought she was out there...but nobody saw
I didn't win or lose...I just threw the cards
But I paid a price for it...
And it's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can
And I'm trying hard to change...I'm doing it the best that I can
Well because fate causes fortune and fortune takes it away
Well it's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can
I was silent...I was locked away
But I covered my tears...
Silent all day
It's out of my hands here
In my distress...well I wanted someone to blame me
In my devastation...I wanted so to change
In my way...disaster was the only thing that I could depend on...
But it's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can
Yes it's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can
Because fate causes fortune and fortune takes it away
And then fortune causes nightmares...nightmares that make you crazy
It's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can
It's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can
Oh he says, "Well I hear you're doing fine and you're doing the
best that you can."
Well he says, "Oh, I hear you're doing fine and you're doing the
best that you can."
Ooh she says, "It's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can."
Yes it's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can
Oh and he says, "I hear you're doing fine and you're doing it the
best that you can."
Oh and he says, "Ooh I hear she's doing fine and she's doing it
the best that she can."
Oh and I paid a price for it...
Papa says...there are clothes to wash
Sister says...brush your hair
You'll go down...to the laundromat
Maybe your sister is there
Father says...when you're young like this...
Things can seem...pretty bad
Let's get out...and walk by the river
CHORUS:
And there are people who roam the Docklands
And there are ships passing in the night
And there are thousands of things that I have dreamed
Gone in the daylight
Sister says...hold your head up high
Life goes on...so don't be afraid
Keep your defenses...but don't shut the loving out
You got to learn to carry that weight
CHORUS:
And all the people who roam the Docklands
And all the ships passing through the night
And there are thousands of things that I have dreamed
Gone in the daylight
Sometimes I feel like I'm in a foreign land
And there's a mirror I'm looking through
Lost in the place where I was born
Without a hand to hold on to
Hold on...(Hold on...)
Hold on...(Hold on...)
In the Docklands where I was born...
People keep moving to and fro
Everybody's pushing...trying to make it happen
I...beg of you...(I) I beg of you...(l) I beg of you...
I miss you...more than I thought I could
I need you...more than you know
I was there...when they took you away from me
I'll be there...when they let you go
CHORUS:
And then the people who roam the Docklands
And all the ships passing in the night
And the thousands of things that I have dreamed
Stay in the daylight
Sometimes I feel like I'm in a foreign land
And there's a mirror I'm looking through
Well bring me back to the place where I was born
Without a hand to hold on to
Give me your hand
Give me your hand...(Give me your hand)
Give me your hand...in the Docklands
I...beg of you...give me your hand...
Crying in the morning...trying to be strong
Waiting for the spring to turn into the fall
Love don't mean what it says at all
My destiny says that I'm destined to fall
CHORUS:
My destiny is riding again
Rolling in the rain...unwinding in the wind
My destiny is fighting again
Secretly unwinding...
What it was I was supposed to say...
To say to you today
It wasn't like the others...it was nothing at all
It wasn't like anything...it was easy to fall
Love don't mean what it says at all
My destiny says that I'm destined for it all
CHORUS:
My destiny is riding again
Rolling in the rain...unwinding in the wind
My destiny is fighting again
Secretly unwinding...
What it was that I was supposed to say...
To say to you today
(SOLO)
Crying...
Still crying in the morning...trying to be strong
Waiting for the spring to turn into the fall
Love never meant what it said at all
My destiny proved I was destined to fall
CHORUS:
My destiny is riding again
Rolling in the rain...unwinding in the wind
My destiny is fighting again
Secretly unwinding...
What it was that I was supposed to say...
To say to you today
I am crying...I am trying...to be strong...
Heartbroken...unspoken...
You were nothing like the others
You were nothing like the others
I don't know why it should be so hard
Giving up this circle dance
Worn out steps from long ago
Don't give love a chance
It's a bitter heirloom handed down
These twisted parts we play
I'm not her and you're not him
It just turn out that way
Can't go back to make things right
Though I wish I'd understood
Time has made things clearer now
We did the best we could
I'll be home soon, that's what you'd say
And a little kid believes
After a while I learned that love
Must be a thing that leaves
I tried so hard just to hold you near
Was as good as I could be
And even when I had you here
You stayed so far from me
Can't go back to make things right
Though I wish I'd understood
Time has made things clearer now
We did the best we could
Now that this has occurred to me
Well, I wanted you to know
I've been too faithful all my life
It's time to let you go
Can't go back to make things right
Though I wish I'd understood
Time has made things clearer now
We did the best we could
And it's time to let you go
I saw him the other day
I saw him again...yesterday
I wonder if I'll ever see him again
He reminded me of Blue Denim
CHORUS:
Blue-gray eyes...they change with the color...
Change with the sun...they run with the sight
They change with the wind...but they're always bright
Bright eyes...Blue Denim
Bright eyes...Blue Denim
I knew him another way
I knew him another day
In some ways he'd forgotten me
In many ways he got to me
I turned away so he couldn't see
I turned away...it could never be
I never thought he could walk away
But I lost him again...yesterday
REPEAT CHORUS
Understanding me...understanding you
Is not an easy thing to do
Understanding me...and understanding you
Is not an easy thing to do
And I will never forget...
The last time I saw you
Like a photograph...so rare
Like a painting
No I will never forget...
The last time I saw you
Never to be...not you...not me
No...no...
REPEAT CHORUS
So I'm going away for a little while
To remember how to feel
And if I find the answer...
I promise you...I'll come back and get you
I'll come back and get you
You can ride high atop your pony
I know you won't fall...
'cause the whole thing's phoney.
You can fly swingin from your trapeze
Scaring all the people...
but you never scare me
Bella donna...
And we fight...for the northern star
No speed limit...this is the fast lane
It's just the way that it is here
And you say...I never thought it could
Bella donna...we fight...
for the northern star
And the lady's feeling
Like the moon that she loved
Don't you know that the stars are
A part of us
And the lady's feeling
Just like the moon that she loved
And you say...I never thought it could
Bella donna
Come in out of the darkness...
You are in love with...
And I'm ready to sail...
It's just a feeling...
Sort of captures your soul
Bella donna...
And the woman may be awestruck
And the woman may truly care
but the woman is so tired...
So the woman dissappears...
Come in out of the darkness...
Bella donna...my soul...
Don't change...baby please don't change
And you say...
and your face becomes thin
You never thought it could
Come in out of the darkness
Bella donna...
You are in love with
And I'm ready to sail
Well I never thought I'd make it
Here in Hollywood...
I never thought I'd ever
Want to stay...
What I seem to touch these days
Has turned to gold...
What I seem to want
Well you know I'll find a way
For me...it's the only life
That I've ever known
And love is only one...
Fine star...away
Even though the living
Is sometimes laced with lies...
It's alright...
The feeling remains
Even after the glitter fades
The loneliness of a one night stand
Is hard to take
We all chase something
And maybe this is a dream
The timeless face of a rock and roll
Woman...while her heart breaks
Oh you know...the dream keeps coming
Even when you forget to feel
For me...it's the only life...
That I've ever know
And love is only one...fine star away
Even though the living
Is sometimes laced with lies...
It's alright...
The feeling remains...
Even after the glitter fades
For me...it's the only life
That I've ever known
And love is only one fine star away
Even though the living
Is sometimes laced with lies
It's alright...
The feeling remains
Even after the glitter fades
Oh you know...the feeling remains
Even after the glitter fades
Oh the feeling remains...
You think you hear demons
I think we are the demons
In this place where the images are born
You remember your childhood
Oh, in fiery sequences
The sun goes down
Filling the air with colors
And winds lift you up to God
It'll lift you up to God
You fall to your knees
You embrace the storm
You no longer care
If it's cold or if it's warm
You live for the danger
Like your passion and your anger
You don't let go
You like to be twisted by the force
You like to be shaken by the wind
In this game that you play with God
You've been warned to retreat
You take it to the limit
When the winds come up
Crazy men, crazy women
Cryin' out for love
You'd like to save her
But you just can't give it up
You'd rather be wrapped up
In the arms of the storm
You'd rather be wrapped up
In the arms of the storm
Crazy men, crazy women
In the storm
And the sun goes down
Chasin' down the demons
You think you hear demons
Chasin' down the demons
Cryin' out for love
The closest you've ever come to me
Was to help me up the stairs
You stood in the middle of the stairway
You nearly dragged me up the stairs
"You've been asleep
Well, I've been asleep for how long?", she says
"Why do you question me?"
He says, "You never cared about time before, my friend"
Seems like a thousand days since you've been gone
Seems like a thousand days since you've been gone
You're not my friend, you're not my love
And this is something that we really don't discuss
If there is no time and there is no place
And if there was, well, you'd never leave a trace
And as all arch angels do to you
And as all arch enemies will finally do to you too
Well, I found you
Quiet now, songbird, just for one night
Well, I know that you love to sing
And, oh baby, well, I know that you love to write
You live by the light of the moon
And I live by light of desire
Ooh, such words to her over the phone
Just how many people are there with you now
Well, I can see the trouble
The sun is here today and I requested a storm
But I like some kind of 'Time/Life' edition
Tradition, competition
Being the only thing that I really have to remember
The great singers and the great players
And if the sun warms up the rain and the rain puts out the sun
Why does the greatest love become the greatest pain?
So where are you? Sometimes I hear you crying
and I wake up, and still I wake up crying
Well, he is on my mind, he's everywhere
And if he followed me home
Will the sound of both of our voices simply disappear?
Well, I miss you now
He laughs, he has an attitude so I have an attitude too
He knocks on the door next to the courtyard
Well, he frightens me so, I let him in
But I'm already, well, I'm already screaming
Well, you're a front liner
You put it all on the line
And you're a gambler
You turn lucky every time
Ooh, and you're consistent
Hey, and that is good
Ooh, and you're persistent
Well, I am overcome
Well, you're not like anyone else
(You're not like anyone)
You're just an instant flash of light
That shines through the night like a lighthouse
Well, you're a victim
Phantom of the opera
And you've been everywhere
And you live in dark shadows
You do what you want to
There's no Beauty and the Beast here
No, no, no
There's no Beauty and the Beast here
Well, you're not like anyone else
(You're not like anyone)
You're just an instant flash of light
That shines
Well, open up the window
And you will hear the rain
Come back to me once more
And throw away the pain
My world will still revolve around you
(Listen to the rain)
Take time to listen to the rain
(Listen to the rain)
Take time, baby, to listen to the rain
Well, she didn't know better
Well, she didn't know then
That she found and she heard
What she didn't know
Was the sound of her own door closing
Open up the window
And listen to the rain
Take some time to smell the roses
And you can throw away the pain
My world will still revolve around you
(So listen to the rain)
Take time, baby, to listen to the rain
(And listen to the rain)
Take time to listen to the rain
(A little time, baby, listen to the rain)
Take time and listen to the rain
(A little time, baby, listen to the rain)
Well, take time and listen to the rain
(A little time, baby, listen to the rain)
Ooh take time honey, take a little time honey
(And listen to the rain)
Take time honey and take a little time, baby
(Listen to the rain)
Take time and listen to the rain
(A little time, baby, listen to the rain)
Take time to listen to the rain
(A little time, baby, listen to the rain)
Well, take time
Such a little girl, such a hard life
She could look a challenge straight between the eyes
Disappointment would become her middle name
Up against the wall, Jane
So her nights became nightmares
As she fought for their souls
And the days became worse
For the ones she loved
Children of the world
The forgotten chimpanzee
In the eyes of the world
You have done so much for me
There are angels here, angels
There are angels here on earth
Angels sent from God
Come away from the wall, stay with us
You can, Jane
So she watched as they put them all into cages
Well, they might as well have caged her very own baby
In fact they might as well have put us both into prison
Through a window all our sorrows would become our only visions
Nothing more
There are angels here, angels
There are angels here on earth
Angels sent from God
You will never feel that you have ever done enough
But you have, Jane
Such a little girl, such a hard life
She could look a challenge straight between the eyes
Disappointment would become her middle name
Up against the wall, Jane
Nothing more than the shadow of a man
Come away from the wall, Jane
Well, they might as well put us both into prison
Come away if you can, Jane
Through a window all our sorrows
Will become our only visions
Come away, Jane
Come away, come away if you can
In the eyes of the world
You have done so much
Come away Jane
The rose stood out
Red against the golden wall
The sun comes up through the silken drapes
The room begins to glow
All in cream-colored ivories and soft yellows
You say hello
Put down that guitar and handed me a rose
At the end of the Italian Summer
It rains fast and it rains hard
The wind blows right through you
It tears you apart
Ooh it's so romantic
Hey it's so soulful
The rain falls down
And the thunder rolls
The sun fades out
And the mountains grow tall
The mists rush in and they take it all
From the islands you see Li Galli and Capri
I remember it all
Love was everywhere
You just had to fall
At the end of the Italian Summer
It rains fast and it rains hard
The wind blows right through you
It tears you apart
Ooh it's so romantic
Hey it's so soulful
The rain falls down
And the thunder rolls
The sun fades out
And the mountains grow tall
The mists rush in and they take it all
From the islands you see Li Galli and Capri
I remember it all
Love was everywhere
I got to sing, I got to dance
I got to be a part of a great romance
Still forbidden, still outrageous
Only a few around us knew
But no one said a word it was contagious
Looked out the window and watched the cars fly by
I look at you and I start to cry
What you did was you saved my life
I won't forget it
Chorus:
You said even if I left my girlfriend
Packed up my stuff
Loaded up my car
Drove down to your house
With good intentions came through your door
For what's it worth...
I got to love, I rode the rails
You came with me because you cared
I was broke and I was scared
You held my hand and took away my fear
We knew we couldn't last
And that was hard.
Looked out the window and watched the cars fly by
I look at you and I start to cry
What you did was you saved my life
I won't forget it
Chorus:
You said even if I left my girlfriend
Packed up my stuff
Loaded up my car
Drove down to your house
With good intentions came through your door
For what's it worth...
I got to sing, I got to dance
I got to be a part of a great romance
Still forbidden, still outrageous
Only a few around us knew
But no one said a word it was contagious
Looked out the window and watched the cars fly by
I look at you and I start to cry
What you did was you saved my life
I won't forget it
Chorus:
You said even if I left my girlfriend
Packed up my stuff
Loaded up my car
Drove down to your house
With good intentions came through your door
Oh, you said even if I left my girlfriend
Packed up my stuff
Loaded up my car
Drove down to your house
With good intentions came through your door
For what's it worth...
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooo, ooo, ooo
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooo, baby, ooo
Said "Ooo"
And the days go by like a strand in the wind
In the web that is my own I begin again
Said to my friend baby
Nothin' else mattered
He was no more than a baby then
Well, he seemed broken hearted, something within him
But the moment that I first laid eyes on him all alone
On the edge of seventeen
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
I said "Ooo, baby, ooo"
Said "Ooo"
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
I said "Ooo, baby, ooo"
Said "Ooo"
Well, I went today
Maybe I will go again tomorrow
Yea yea, well, the music there
Well, it was hauntingly familiar
Well, I see you doing what I try to do for me
With the words from a poet
And a voice from a choir
And a melody, nothing else mattered
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
I said "Ooo, baby, ooo"
Said "Ooo"
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
I said "Ooo, baby, ooo"
Said "Ooo"
The clouds, never expect it
When it rains
But the sea changes color
But the sea does not change
And so with the slow graceful
Flow of age, I went forth with an
Age old desire to please
On the edge of seventeen, ooa
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
I said "Ooo, baby, ooo"
Said "Ooo"
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
I said "Ooo, baby, ooo"
Said "Ooo"
Well, then suddenly
There was no one left standing in the hall, yeah yeah
In a flood of tears
That no one really ever heard fall at all
Well, I went searchin' for an answer
Up the stairs and down the hall
And not to find an answer
Just to hear the call
Of a nightbird singing "Come away"
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooo, baby, ooo
Said "Ooo"
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
I said "Ooo, baby, ooo"
Said "Ooo"
Well, I hear you in the morning and
I hear you at nightfall, sometimes to be near you
Is to be unable to hear you, my love
I'm a few years older than you, my love
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooo, baby, ooo
Said "Ooo"
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooo, baby, ooo
Do you always trust your first initial feeling?
Special knowledge holds truth bears believing
I turned around and the water was closing all around
Like a glove, like the love that had finally, finally found me
Then I knew in the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me through the mountains
Through the crystal like clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet to the sea
How the faces of love have changed turning the pages
And I have changed oh, but you, you remain ageless
I turned around and the water was closing all around
Like a glove, like the love that had finally, finally found me
Then I knew in the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me through the mountains
Through the crystal like clear water fountain
