Got no illusions that you still care
Those good intentions will take you there
A celebration, the time is right
A fascination all through the night
Well, it's a brand new morning
And it's the start of your new life
It's a brand new morning
You'd better try and get it right
Brand new morning
You've been awake since early light
Brand new morning
So spread your wings and you'll take flight
You walk with freedom through any door
The revolution don't mean much more
You feel it coming out of the past
Now you've found yourself can you tell me how you feel
Oh you look so well everything seems new and real
Can you rise above all the worldly cares you had
All the foolish thoughts have they really left your head
Yes I'd like to see if you really know for sure
Are you still conviced what you had was less before
Will it last for long you're obsessed by new ideas
There's a change in you but you change most every year
Can you stand there and tell me now
It's not only a dream it's better
It's a part you could play for ever
We all play the game
We all play the game
And 'though we think again still it will be the same
We play the game this foolish game
The search goes on never ending thirst unquenched
What you're looking for someone yet has to invent
Does it please you well did you have to look so hard
I bring you peace and understanding
I give you freedom from your cares
I bring the truth with no illusion
To give you hope when you despair
I have the secret of the whirlwind
I keep the eagle close at hand
This kingdom tall as any mountain
Will reap the treasure from the land
I am the teacher
I am the teacher
I am the teacher
More than you'll ever know
Everything I can show
I have the answers to all questions
Above us here and far below
No voices will be raised in anger
The lights burned out, and with it it's taken my eyes
It seems so hard it's taken me by surprise
And oh baby all that you said must be lies
I cease to feel the wind and the rain on my face
Sometimes I'm sure but then I'm confused in my haste
And oh baby I'm standing but taking no space
But I don't cry easy no I don't cry at all
Oh but you don't believe me and I think that's my only downfall
What am I going to do about you baby
What am I going to do without you now
You had my love wild as an ocean could call
I was the fool and you were the winner take all
Thoughts on Calvary,
And salvation,
Wears a rosary,
No hesitation.
Above the sound of gunfire,
A prayer for strangers,
Couldn't get much higher,
Talks to angels.
Chorus
She's got something more than feeling,
You've just got to ask her.
She's got something to believe in,
And there's nothing better.
Friends and enemies,
A time for reason.
A time for charity,
A cry for freedom.
In the roar of battle,
Changing fortunes,
Senses bound and shackled
In the dark room.
(chorus)
Scarlet roses growing on white skin
Voices carrying nightmares
No escaping them
She's there
When did you stop lookin` homeward
Deep in trouble endlessly
Just like a ghost `cross the water
You disappeared quietly
Now every day seems too long
And everythin` just goes wrong
So when d`ya start to live again
Oh what a way for this to end
CHORUS:
You better let somebody in
No open door to anything
You better let somebody in
The times growin` shorter
Let somebody in
You`re gonna lose it all again
You better let somebody in
Before your blood turns to water
Now you get lost in your own time
Hide your secrets far away
Don`t count the cost when you`re fallin`
Don`t have the answers so they say
When everyday brings you down
You`re just a face in the crowd
`cause you don`t try you don`t pretend
Oh what a way for this to end
CHORUS
I thought that I really knew you
But that can`t be right
And no one could ever find you
Lost in the night
(guitar solo)
Innocence is traded on the road to paradise
When ambition starts to raise it's ugly head
Prizes won't be given for the last ones in the line
And that's something that we all appear to dread
Listen to the raving of a disillusioned man
As the rainy days collect to do their worst
Full of neat surprises is their sympathetic plan
They will cut you up and sell you 'till it hurts
We're all spinning on the roundabout
I don't wish to fight just to prove that I'm right
I don't wish the world upside down
I don't wish to fight just to prove that I'm right
Too late to be tender
Far too many fall along the way
Sad case the pretender
Hopes and dreams that vanish day by day
Building the illusion
Answers from the wings to steal the show
Failing in conclusion
Forgets the lines forgets which way to go
Morning comes round too soon
When you're starting back at the moon
Are you caring or acting the fool
Wishing they'd never been born
Come all you young and precious souls
Your legacy waits come on take a hold
Come all you young and precious souls
Take on the mistakes unchecked or resolved
And through this madness find
I can read between the lines
Understand what's on your mind
There's a storm about to break
And you just can't wait
Stand up
Hear me out
Stand up
Hear what I'm talking about
I'm confused
You can't lose
What kind of love is this
When I can't defend myself
What kind of love is this
I gotta look for help
Now we're runnin' out of time
And no matter how we try
All the colours turn to black
And we can't get back
Stand up
Hear me out
Stand up
Hear what I'm talkin' about
Been accused
You're bad news
What kind of love is this
When I can't defend myself
What kind of love is this
I gotta look for help looking for help
What kind of love is this
On a sea of emptiness yeah yeah
What kind of love is this
You're caught up in anger, trying to hurt
That feeling will change you, just like a curse
You say you don't feel it
- we all need to be loved
You say don't believe it
- we all need to be loved
You think you're so clever, don't get it wrong
Cause you should know better than just play along
You say you don't feel it
- we all need to be loved
You say don't believe it
- we all need to be loved
Deep in the night, when you're alone
Shadows will fall, you'll hear your name when no one has called
Well there's no power as strong as love is
With love you've got it all
There's no power as strong as love is
You can open any door
Your message is clouded, make yourself clear
Your alibi's faded, spill one more tear
You say you don't feel it
- we all need to be loved
You say don't believe it
- we all need to be loved
Deep in the night, when you're alone
Shadows will fall, you'll hear your name when no one has called
Well there's no power as strong as love is
With love you've got it all
There's no power as strong as love is
You can open any door
We all need to be loved...
We all need to be loved...
(Guitar Solo)
Well there's no power as strong as love is
With love you've got it all
There's no power as strong as love is
You can open any door
There's no power as strong as love is
With love you've got it all
There's no power as strong as love is
I won't go softly
Won't be discreet
You know I'm not drownin'
Don't need relief
Ain't tired of livin'
I don't wanna die
My cup ain't empty
It won't run dry
Where is the journey no one defies
The end comes early
That's no surprise
When it's all over & it's all done
The best is waitin' & yet to come
Take me to the edge
Let me look across
Sacrifice the conversation
Stuck on muddy ground
I can't find the key
Just another complication
My hands are tied & bound
Can't get nothin' done
Run away from accusation
I'm alive and well
No more yesterdays
I don't need the confrontation
When apprehension gets overdone
Let everyday pass
And one by one
A new beginning
A brand new start
As the old memories inspire the heart
Where is the journey no one defies
The end comes early
That's no surprise
When it's all over & it's all done
The best is waitin' and yet to come
Take me to the edge
Let me look across
Sacrifice the conversation
Stuck on muddy ground
I can't find the key
Just another complication
My hands are tied and bound
Can't get nothin' done
Run away from accusation
I'm alive & well
No more yesterdays
Wild Swan By Magnum.
--------------------
Wild swan follow the river
Don't fly through dangerous skies
On and on from bow and quiver
Ride over mountains so high
Over feilds and the ruin of castles
Into the evening we soar
City lights begin to sparkle
Like diamonds thrown to the floor
Fly home it's just me and you
Your only son
Fly home I've been waiting to
The time has come
The time has come
Wild swan follow the river
Don't fly through dangerous skies
On and on from bow and quiver
Ride over mountains so high
Out to sea on the wings of heaven
Where silver cuts like a knife
Say farewell to the ships of the ocean
We travel into the night
Fly home it's just me and you
Your only son
Fly home I've been waiting to
The time has come
The time has come
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
When the Black Queen begins to play
Strong and lonely
Don't look away
'Cause there's nowhere she can't go
She won't tell ya
And you won't know
And now it's time to cross that river
And show your feelings just before you depart
You know it's real
You must consider
No good remainin' so hold back the tears
Don't ever give up the fight
Now the White King shakes in fear
By his castle
They draw near
It's a story we all know
And it's somewhere
We can't go
And now it's time to cross that river
And show your feelings just before you depart
You know it's real
You must consider
No good remainin' so hold back the tears
Don't ever give up the fight
I really thought we'd come together
But once again there's somethin' tears us apart
You know that it could get much better
Heroes we've seen come and go thru' the years
Daybreak and they'll be waiting
Nervous out in the cold
Searching the blue horizon
Praying they'll soon be home
Sweethearts, parents and lovers
Hear them say
The tall ships are coming in
They ride like a ghost on the tide
They come way down from Rio
The tall ships are coming in
Fifty-nine days without land
Six thousand miles, way down from Rio
And they travelled by the stars
Guided on the way by the southern cross
Under Sugar Loaf Mountain
Down in Boto Fargo Bay
Christ on Corco Vado
All seems so far away
Close by, all point skyward
Five fingers of god
The tall ships are coming in
They ride like a ghost on the tide
They come way down from Rio
The tall ships are coming in
Fifty-nine days without land
Six thousand miles, way down from Rio
And they travelled by the stars
Guided on the way by the southern cross
Sweethearts, parents and lovers
Hear them say
The tall ships are coming in
They ride like a ghost on the tide
They come way down from Rio
The tall ships are coming in
Fifty-nine days without land
Six thousand miles, way down from Rio
And they travelled by the stars
Guided on the way by the southern cross
The tall ships are coming in
They ride like a ghost on the tide
They come way down from Rio
The tall ships are coming in
Fifty-nine days without land
Six thousand miles, way down from Rio
And they travelled by the stars
Guided on the way by the southern cross
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
The tall ships are coming in
They ride like a ghost on the tide
They come way down from Rio
The tall ships are coming in
Fifty-nine days without land
Six thousand miles, way down from Rio
And they travelled by the stars
Don't invite the vicious companions
Though they're always at your side
Only waiting to take you a ride
Feel the creature rise inside you
With misguided I'll intent
Look around it's your only defence
On and on the story goes
Where it leads to we all know
What you give is what you get
What you give is what you get
See the hungry cry for the children
Watch the greedy call for more
And the self ordained proceed to shut the door
When the needy run from the table
For they know there's nothing there
Hoping one day will somebody care
We've gotta be good gotta be strong
The final approach is taking too long
Too late in the day when everything's gone
Now the villain he may prosper
And the thief might do as well
With amusement their crimes they dispel
All the promises they've broken
And the hearts they have betrayed
They were just theives and robbers,
You were a stepping stone.
Look how the innocent suffer,
Raging like a storm in your soul.
One thing they forgot to mention:
Making peace was their last intention.
There was a time you trusted,
You were too proud to beg.
Now you just feel disgusted
With everything you've done and said.
There really wasn't time to cry,
Or even kiss the children goodbye.
Chorus
You got swept by the Flood
You got talked out of dreams.
There was a price on your blood,
Couldn't wash yourself clean.
It wasn't really worth a whole lot,
Looking back on what you got.
Like words in the mud,
Tears in the stream.
No more dreams.
All that you ever wanted,
All that you'd seen and heard,
Never got really started
Like a river never turned.
They didn't give a reason why,
Never even bothered to try.
(chorus)
Killers without a conscience,
Only the good lie dead.
Great father who trades in nonsense,
Picture this inside your head:
The magic of the talking wires
Don`t hear the thunder come close
If I`m a fool who cares
I`m just the joker, the cool host
But no one knows how I feel
This things for real
Wrong time in the wrong place
Oh I`m lookin` out for you
There`s nothin` I can do
CHORUS:
Choose your own path that you walk with great care
Your direction will be yours alone to bear
But though it may be long and many times go wrong
You're on your own this journey none can share
And there is no other way of stayin' alive
Just killing time nowhere to hide
Stayin' alive you can decide
It's always harder where two roads divide
And before us lies a choice that's not too clear
Many voices offer words upon your ear
Running through your head are some best left unsaid
Don't listen just to things you'd like to hear
Heading slowly through still waters dream away
But it's always growing shorter come the day
Throw your dreams away
None of us on this earth will be here
On our children will the sentence be severe
Still we carry on doing what we've done
I'll tell you something
About the things that you should know
And you'll learn as you grow and in turn
Be one step further
Along the road to realise
There's no rules bad advice many fools
First class performance
To fill the lines of empty heads
There's still hope for the dream but you don't
Embrace disorder
It will chill you from inside
And destroy everything that you try
Innocent faces look up in the classroom
Soon their time will come
So beware the skillful disguises
It's too easy to dress up in white
For this world can be full of surprises
From the glitter a kingdom looks nice
You're learning there's no returning
This final blunder
For which they all expect our thanks
They will hide from the kill to survive
The great disaster
They'll take great care and will avoid
Being there 'cause it's more than they dare
Don't be fooled by a shining appearance
It gets tarnished in time don't we all
Hey'll be wearing their wealth on their fingers
And instructing us all how to fall
Just another broken heart
Any fool can see
Though we're living worlds apart
You're still next to me
I'm never gonna give you up
Never wanna make you cry
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna say goodbye
Just another lonely night
I'm missing you again
Nothing ever turns out right
So when's it gonna end
I'm never gonna give you up
Never wanna make you cry
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna say goodbye
When you start talkin' love
You know that I'd run through the night
To be with you
Talk about love
It's a walk from the dark to the light
To be with you
Start talking love
Talk about love
You left me with a broken heart
Any fool can see
Now we're ling worlds apart
Guess it was meant to be
I'm never gonna give you up
Never wanna make you cry
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna say goodbye
When you start talkin' love
You know that I'd run through the night
To be with you
Talk about love
It's a walk from the dark to the light
To be with you
Start talking love
I'm looking round at the posters on the damp wall
Hear static on the radio
There's no sound from the mission or the dance hall
No place that I want to go
Broke up am I dreaming it's a sad day
Too much to be sitting here alone
Bad luck and it's gonna be a long day
There's no number I can telephone telephone
When you fall
It's no game
Cause if you do it over and over again and again and again
Sometime love is very strange
Sometime love takes you apart at every stage
Sometime love will break your heart
Break your heart or what remains
Sometime love takes you apart drives you insane
Day breaks and it starts another heartache
Hurts bad reaching out for someone
The games up here comes another heartbreak
All this and it's only just begun
When you fall
It's no game
If you do it over and over again and again and again
And again and again
Sometime love is very strange
Sometime love takes you apart at every stage
Sometime love will break your heart
Break your heart or what remains
Sometime love takes you apart drives you insane
And again and again
Sometime love is very strange
Sometime love takes you apart at every stage
Sometime love will break your heart
Break your heart or what remains
Sometime love takes you apart drives you insane
Red on the highway diamonds in the sky
A million stilettos cutting tears from your eye
Peppered with starshell pouring silver rain
Falling like lumber but you're feeling no pain
You can't run
Can't run
Can't run away
Can't run na na na na na na na
Can't run away
Blood in the river terror spikes your soul
It's louder than thunder way down deep in this hole
There's a light in the mountain a fireball in the town
Tornado in the making and a shaking in the ground
You can't run
Can't run
Can't run away
Can't run na na na na na na
Can't run away
Trapped in the shadows feeling ragged and torn
Radio message bringing no help at all
There's a light in the mountain a fireball in the town
Tornado in the making and a shaking in the ground
You can't run
Can't run
Can't run away
Can't run na na na na na na
I never had a chance
Once I put my eyes on you
Too old to play romance
Said nothing that made sense to you
You took me by surprise
Breaking out is hard that's true
It started from inside
No telling what the heart will do
Steal your heart
And you'll never recover
Steal your heart
You won't look to another
Steal your heart
And you will never recover
You had me from the start
Doesn't matter wrong or right
You can't do the things by half
You take a dangerous line
Holding a loaded gun
It's just a matter of time
Before you hurt someone
So keep your running shoes close
And sing your rebel song
Then disappear like a ghost
The hunter won't be long
Don't you know there's no forgiving
Like a rabbit on the run
When you have to go on living
By the gun ...
Well go on shoot
Someone cries that's the beginning
Go on shoot
Justify the blood you're spilling
Come on and shoot
Show the world that you're not kidding
All gathered deep in the earth
A careless light betrays
Be feared the Devil he's at work
No place to end your days
To hold the balance of the fight
And scream your hearts desire
Don't give the automatic right
To quench the holy fire
Don't you know there's no forgiving
Like a rabbit on the run
When you have to go on living
By the gun ...
Shoot
Someone cries that's the beginning
Go on shoot
Justify the blood you're spilling
Come on shoot
Come on shoot
Someone cries that's the beginning
Go on shoot
Justify the blood you're spilling
Yeah
Show the world show the world
Yeah
Justify the blood you're spilling
Rockin Chair By Magnum.
-----------------------
You want love
You get hate
Oh you push and you shove
You know you just can't wait
You've had your fun
You don't fool no one
You build it up
To tear it down
Runnin out of luck
I won't get kicked around
I could drive all night
Till you're out of sight
Hide and seek
Turnin' on the heat
Runnin like a cadillac
I'm so sick and tired
You're a damn dirty liar
When I run
I ain't comming back
Oh you better beware
Keep on rocking this house
Baby I don't care
Breakin' out this jailhouse
We're going nowhere
I ain't ready for no rockin' chair
When you came
You played rough
Now I know your game
And you ain't good enough
on't know what you've done
'Cause you ain't begun
You fool with me
You gotta understand
That you don't get to choose
Whe night comes around
I can't be found
Hide and seek
Turnin' on the heat
Runnin like a cadillac
I'm so sick and tired
You're a damn dirty liar
When I run
I ain't comming back
Oh you better beware
Keep on rocking this house
Baby I don't care
Breakin' out this jailhouse
We're going nowhere
I ain't ready for no rockin' chair
Red sky burnin'
Won't be no returnin' so long
Fire up the motor
Don't you get no closer
Yeah I'm gone
Oh you better beware
Keep on rocking this house
Baby I don't care
Breakin' out this jailhouse
We're going nowhere
I ain't ready for no rockin' chair
I need my rockin'
But I don't need no rockin' chair
All you people
Got to get together
Don't confuse it
Try to make it better
No more nation against nation
All this narrow vision
All you lawyers, all you teachers
And you politicians
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Amen, I'll say it again
Are you ready?
Rock heavy
Oh, rock heavy
Got to stand up
For the sense and reason
Talk it over
And we'll start believing
We're not guilty or suspicious
Of different dress and colour
All you preachers, all you bankers
And you mathematicians
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Amen, I'll say it again
Are you ready?
Rock heavy
Oh, rock heavy
Look out
A change has got to come
A change for everyone
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Amen, I'll say it again
Are you ready?
Rock heavy
Oh, rock heavy
Amen, I'll say it again, again
Are you ready?
Rock heavy
Oh, rock heavy
Rock heavy
Oh, rock heavy
Rock heavy
Oh, rock heavy
Rock heavy
Oh, rock heavy
Rock heavy
So cold the night that darkens every waking hour
Let me in I shall devour all within
I hear the sound the earth does tremble at my feet
Skies explode at last we meet anger flows
So sad so sad
The wings that flew me here were glad
Like before I've never had
But there's always tomorrow
Strange dreams of sorrow
So sad so sad
Deny me now a thousand years would serve me well
But for me who can tell who can see
I ride the storm of tearful forces wrapped in pain
Here I am I to blame if I ran
Lost in the shadows,
Rain clouds all day,
There's a ghost in the mirror,
Well I'm gone but I'm not too far away.
Poor little sisters,
Easy to find,
Oh! You heard me come knocking,
Saying Jesus is a friend of mine.
Hear no evil,
See no evil,
Speak no evil.
I must be sleepwalking,
Can't believe that sweet talking.
No magic red shoes
Under my bed.
Well there's no need to worry,
The wicked witch of the East is dead
Jonothan Seagull
Taught me to fly,
While the father and husband
See you like the water's edge
The taste of fear is in my heart and in my head
I've never seen a power so strong
The silver moon just like a medal being hung
Feel your touch your brand of fire
And your magic weave is more than I require
I've never seen this place before
I live in this world yes I know where I belong
Time has no respect for man'sd vanity
We hold the keys we are the caretakers of insanity
We've been down this road before
Learnt the lesson on the surface it's been scored
One step away
Away from you
One step away
Away from you
Your many faces I can't trust
I walk alone I'll take my chance I won't be pushed
You promise all the things i need
I'd have to change my ways and all I believe
Feel your touch your brand of fire
And your magic weave is more than I require
I've never seen this place before
It's another long night
Ain't no heart in this town without pity
There's not enough love
Yeah, it's tough in this part of the city
Somebody cries
Tonight we ride
We'll take you to the other side
Hear me, mother
Will the day ever come
Say a prayer for your wayward son
If I could I would run
But there's no way out
No way out
No way out
Ain't we born to be free
On the far side of town
With the rain falling down
She stands waiting
It don't seem right
She cries to the night
Her heart breaking
She can hear his words
Still see his face
It takes her to another place
Hear me, father
Just what will it take
Give me an answer
Before it's too late
How to make an escape
Is there no way out
No way out
No way out
Ain't we born to be free
Ain't we born to be free
Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh
Yeah, yeah
Hear me, father
Just what will it take
Give me an answer
Before it's too late
How to make an escape
Is there no way out
No way out
No way out
Ain't we born to be free
No way out
No way out
No way out
No way out
No way out
Lay down your rifle
Your sacrifice
Lost in the thunderous noise
Thousands will slumber
So far from home
Those who weren't there criticise
All dressed in black
Deep as red wine forever there
Letters not sent
They will decline one sacred prayer
And the rain still comin' down
In the churchyard no one's about
No one knows his name
Took a lifetime to work it out
They all pass away in time
It's too cold on this winters day
As you concentrate the flame
Burning brighter so far away
Memories golden
Nothing is lost
A woman stands holding his life
Carries the worries carved in her face
She won't be sleeping tonight
All dressed in black
Deep as red wine forever there
Letters not sent
They will decline one sacred prayer
And the rain still comin' down
In the churchyard no one's about
No one knows his name
Took a lifetime to work it out
They all pass away in time
It's too cold on this winters day
As you concentrate the flame
Well he was born
His father's pride and joy
His young life scored
Before it began
Dressed up in blue
His mother's only boy
Someday this child
Would have to be a man
He went to school
Shiny and white as pearl
They did not teach
The things he should learn
Things he would need in this deceitful world
Which way to run or which way to turn
He became strong
Everyone looked to him
One of the boys
A beacon in the night
And when he spoke
People would gather in
They would stay close
He'd make them feel alright
One one precious life
Only a memory tonight
One one precious life
Only a memory to light
The years of tenderness
Make them burn bright
He wasn't scared
He had no fear at all
Said his goodbyes
And marched off to war
As he looked back
He heard his mother call
Said she be waiting
At Heaven's door
Soon to be killed
Left on a muddy field
All of his thoughts
Were scattered just like seed
He never knew
Threw up his arms and reeled
He felt no pain
His heart start to bleed
One one precious life
Only a memory tonight
One one precious life
Only a memory to light
The years of tenderness
Make them burn bright
Only a memory tonight
One one one precious life
Only a memory to light
The years of tenderness
Riders of the night
Are screaming hard above my heels
Princely lord of chaos
Forges black and fiery wheels
And the mother of the earth
Is being widowed in my sight
Father of deception
Using wrong instead of right
And the moon overshadows the sun
And the masters of war carry on
While the fools and the jokers make fun
See them run
Sister of illusion
Bend and follow in their mould
Brother of opinion
Just remember what you're told
Not a weapon in a traitor's hand
Will harm you twice as bad
Forests of indifference
Guaranteed to make you mad
And the moon overshadows the sun
And the masters of war carry on
While the fools and the jokers make fun
See them run
They can't be playing
Turning the upside down
They've got me praying
I'll end up in the ground
When they burn up everything
Kill the air for me to breathe
Still they would be thinking
There was more they could achieve
Then at last they would be beaten
For alone they all would stand
Looking at each other
Just as if it had been planned
And the moon disappears with the sun
And the masters are masters of none
While the fools and the jokers are gone
Now they're one
Oh, how they run
They can't be playing
Turning the inside down
They've got me praying
I'll end up in the ground
And the moon overshadows the sun
And the masters of masters of none
While the fools and the jokers are gone
Nter the sacred heart, what's in your keeping?
Caught on the outward flight, careless and torn apart
It's too late to feel the pain, all your devotion
Forever by your side, now you don't like the game
But I know what you're going through
In your own world
Yes, I know what you're going through
Long days, black nights
Long days (long days) black nights (black nights)
Long days (long days) black nights (black nights)
Long days (long days) ooh, black nights
Silence and empty rooms, the lesson that follows
But with no one inside, you broke the precious rules
Left with you own mistakes, collecting the sad one's
Noises of pity now, that's all you make
But I know what you're going through
In your own world
Yes, I know what you're going through
Long days, black nights
Long days (long days) black nights (black nights)
Long days (long days) black nights (black nights)
Long days (long days) ooh, black nights
It's too late to worry, now time is on your hands
Who know you say, who know you do, don't understand
Too late! Too late! - Long days!
(Guitar Solo)
Long days, black nights
Long days (long days) black nights (black nights)
Long days (long days) black nights (black nights)
Long days (long days) ooh, black nights
Long days (long days) black nights (black nights)
Long days (long days) black nights (black nights)
Ooh, long days (long days) black nights (black nights)
I've seen plenty of trouble
Never been any different I know
You got to run on the double
Keep your eye on the chariot low
Mama let your garden grow
Can't fall down never give in
A lucky star could be following you
You got to show a little givin'
Every day when it's possible to
Mama make my grey sky blue
Just keep those wheels turnin'
And keep your love burnin'
If I'm runnin' wild follow me
Maybe we're still learnin'
Sometimes we're still hurtin'
Just like a child comfort me
We grew up by the mountain
Dirty marks in the palm of our hands
We got the eye for accountin'
We got the pain of a family man
Mama help us all you can
Just keep those wheels turnin'
And keep your love burnin'
If I'm runnin' wild follow me
Maybe we're still learnin'
Sometimes we're still hurtin'
Pages were written turn yellow the age of the rhyme
sadly confused by us with the passing of time
oh no I tell you no lie no madman am I
give me another chance and another way
give me another time and another day
give me a part in another play
silken the hand that has touched me and helped me till now
torment replaces the feelings the faces somehow
oh no I tell you no lie no madman am I
give me another chance and another way
give me another time and another day
give me a part in another play
words that are whispered surround me and call to my ear
courage embrace me though tears may forsake me I fear
oh no I tell you no lie no madman am I
give me another chance and another way
give me another time and another day
give me a part in another play
will someone take my place
I'm the prince of dreams but no one knows my face
I've come to rest my mind
help me understand and see what I can find
what's this before me now
what's that behind
it's the prophet of the morning star
he's not so blind
he calls to me so clear
saying very soon sorrow will be here
but before they pull you down
there's just one chance for you to stay around
or else a war to end all wars
sink without a trace
I am the prince of dreams
and you shall know my face
find the light that shines on everyone
someone shines the light for me
look inside yourself to understand
the questions answered now I see
I am your light, I am your light,
By blood we live
Can’t take the weight
Each day we give
Sometimes too late
And so it turns to dust
Thru’ years unknown
And then we lose the trust
The time has flown
I don’t want money
I don’t want fame
I think that I might get lost
I’m in no hurry
I make no claim
The answers won’t come across
I see your face
In my mind’s eye
Look back, no trace
It passed me by
A stranger at my door
A silent prayer
Can’t see you anymore
Too much to bear
I don’t want money
I don’t want fame
I think that I might get lost
I’m in no hurry
I make no claim
The answers won’t come across
While I take shelter
This blinding rain
Is turnin’ everyone cold
This helter skelter
As time remains
She was a fragile girl
A prisoner in a golden cage
But she didn't time it right
She walked out in a blinding rage
She danced in the moonlight
She danced
Before it began
She danced
With no one beside her
She danced
She dreamed of that man
She danced
Just this side of heaven
Shame to be
Just this side of heaven
Get back to reality
Now she doesn't have a choice
She wonders as she goes insane
Says his hands are cold as ice
They come down like the pouring rain
The spell has been broken
She danced
The deed has been done
She danced
From words that were spoken
She danced
She's in need of someone
She danced
Just this side of heaven
Shame to be
Just this side of heaven
Get back to reality
Just this side of heaven
Shame to be
Just this side of heaven
Get back to reality
Just this side of heaven
Shame to be
Just this side of heaven
Get back to reality
Just this side of heaven
Shame to be
Just this side of heaven
You're walking the street
You're in need of someone's sympathy
And someone you meet
Helps to pass the time just perfectly
'Cause she takes you by the hand
Takes you to the promised land
And gives you her love
You're drinking alone
Shadowed by your own uncertainty
But you'd like to be shown
Everything you've never dared to see
Then she takes you by the hand
Takes you to the promised land
And gives you her love
The damage is done
Taking love on the run
You can buy your romance
So you jump at the chance
Yeah, you'll be all right when love comes around
What you going to do on your own
Even wonder should you ever go home
Here come those feelings, can't be right
You think nobody's going to miss you tonight
Mistrusted
Heartbroke and busted
So where's the justice
Going to be all right when love comes around
No hurricane wind blowing could slow you down
Yeah, you'll be all right when love comes around
It's going to come 'round, ooh, baby
You say that you've never known
The kind of love that gets down deep in your soul
You're still reeling from the fight
You wouldn't know it if it hit you tonight
Mistrusted
Heartbroke and busted
So where's the justice
Going to be all right when love comes around
No hurricane wind blowing could slow you down
Yeah, you'll be all right when love comes around
And I will never know the questions you're asking
I know nothing at all
How can you stand upon the judgement you're passing
When you don't even know the cause
Mistrusted
Heartbroke and busted
So where's the justice
Going to be all right when love comes around
No hurricane wind blowing could slow you down
Yeah, you'll be all right when love comes around
Yeah, you'll be all right
Everybody say
Yeah, you'll be all right
Just for a moment
Get yourself back into time
Did things seem better then?
See what you can find
Those years you treasured
Like a jewel in midnight sky
You can't face tomorrow
And you won't tell me why
I will decide myself
No chains on me
Oh, ain't no chains on me
I will decide myself
I am set free
Once everything we knew
Has disappeared so fast
We used up all the things
We thought would always last
No tears in heaven
That's the story you've been told
It can't last forever
But I don't believe that's so
I will decide myself
No chains on me
Oh, ain't no chains on me
I will decide myself
I am set free
Would you give up everything
Give up everything
Give up everything
Would you give up everything
Give up everything
Give up everything
For just another day?
I will decide myself
No chains on me
Oh, ain't no chains on me
I will decide myself
I am set free
Won't you stand by me now?
I will decide myself
No chains on me
There ain't no chains on me
I will decide myself
I am set free
Stand by me now
I will decide myself
No chains on me
There ain't no chains on me
I will decide myself
There's a reason for everything living
Maybe frightened alone in the night
But there's someone near and forgiving
Who treads softly to turn on the light
There's a reason for everyone's laughter
Like a river it always will flow
But there's something we are all after
When that icy wind's starting to blow
Hush-a-bye baby
Born in this crazy world
Hush-a-bye baby
Falling for every word
Hush-a-bye baby, baby
Hush-a-bye baby, baby
There's a reason we all get lonely
Like a fool on the edge of a crowd
When that feeling comes sneaking up slowly
And your world has come tumbling down
There's a reason for everyone's laughter
Like a river it always will flow
But there's something we are all after
When that icy wind's starting to blow
Hush-a-bye baby
Born in this crazy world
Hush-a-bye baby
Falling for every word
Hush-a-bye baby, baby
Hush-a-bye baby, baby
Hush-a-bye baby
Born in this crazy world
Hush-a-bye baby
Falling for every word
Hush-a-bye baby, baby
Hush-a-bye baby, baby
Hush-a-bye baby
Born in this crazy world
Hush-a-bye baby
Falling for every word
Hush-a-bye baby, baby, baby
Hush-a-bye baby
There`s no confusion, no talk of losin`
`s one thing I know real well
You got the power
steal every hour
as far as I can tell
This fascination`s an education
I do enjoy the ride
If they could see you right now,
And know where you came from,
Lonely one.
Don't cry now,
Now you're really someone,
Tbat puts lines on your face,
That's outta place.
You really got what you wanted,
You really got where you wanted to be.
Chorus
You can't live this way forever,
Like an island made of sand.
We all need to be together,
Every woman, every man.
You walk a crooked path,
You can't look back and see,
How short your memory.
There you go, Only foolin' yourself,
Soeone's gonna get hurt,
You won't be the first.
You really got what you wated,
You really got where you wanted to be
(chorus)
You'll have to take it on your own,
I never thought I`d feel so helpless
Somethin`s happenin`to me
`cause every night feels like the longest
And every hour`s eternity
`Cause I can`t have you like I wanted to
I got nothin` without you
CHORUS:
So now I dream about you
I got arms around you
Yeah, dream about you
Ain`t nothin` else I can do
I wanna be where you are
No matter near or how far
So now I dream about you
I never thought I`d feel defenceless
Nothin` mattered much to me
The sun goes down and I get restless
All those same old memories
`Cause I can`t have you like I wanted to
I got nothin` without you
CHORUS
I know your touch, your look, your every word
Oh can you hear me baby
I want you back again into my world
There's no disgrace cryin' out loud
Bitter the taste into the crowd
Easy to tell passin' you by
Bids you farewell, no firm reply
Don't get upset
And let it take you away
There's no regret
There's nothin' more you can say
You know the sun will come out shinin'
At the start of every day
Cry to yourself
You've got to trust your dreamer's heart
Nobody else
Will tell you when you fall apart
Please don't applaud, how can you tell
This crown of thorns won't fit you well
Never a word, nothin' to choose
Mildly concerned, just to confuse
Don't get upset
And let it take you away
There's no regret
There's nothin' more you can say
You know the sun will come out shinin'
At the start of every day
So stay awake
You're just a shadow in this world
Then mornin' breaks
And there's no trace where you've been curled
Cry to yourself
You've got to trust your dreamer's heart
Nobody else
Will tell you when you fall apart
So stay awake
You're just a shadow in this world
Then mornin' breaks
No more footsteps I'm alone
From her sad eyes tears are falling
Once again I'm on my own
Through the wind I hear her calling
Many days have come and gone
At the thought of me returning
Will I be the only one
Was the lesson worth the learning
Foolish heart you've let me down
Foolish heart turn me around
Foolish heart don't break in two
Foolish heart where are you
Thinking now it has begun
Time to wind up all the hours
The biggest fools under the sun
Life is just a joke
Dreams go up in smoke
It hasn’t taken too long to descend
This unholy circus will end
Feels like treason to the human race
Sense or reason must be out of place
It’s a nightmare, it runs dark and deep
Goin’ nowhere down a one way street
Thoughts I can’t express
Words mean even less
Nothin’ is sacred & you can depend
This unholy circus will end
Chances taken, we’re just waiting
Contemplating now the beginning of the end
And the history wrapped up in old glory
In this strange world we have to live in
Protected by some taken granted by all
Time honoured thoughts end disapproving
With all dominions ever ready to fall
You won't beat the pack that's no revelation
Come snapping their jaws right on your heels
Making your way through all this confusion
The harder you try the less it reveals
I know what happens the moment you turn out your light
I know what happens it happens to me every night
You start to breakdown
You're gonna crucify yourself you're lost
When you get pushed round
Another refugee to bear the cross
Now every course blighted by answers
Acutely profane no help in this brawl
And from the mouths that never felt hunger
Comes no deliverance just a timely withdrawal
What of your thoughts not yet discovered
Along with the fears they'll both play their part
You'll work it out then run for cover
New broom had swept
And did collect
A thousand tears
From far and near
The time had come
The chosen one
A welcome guest
By children blessed
The door's unlocked
The walls are down
No more to wear
The thorny crown
The game is up
No fooling now
The power is on
For everyone
He was born to be king
Alone in peace he'd bring
He was born to be king
Look down to teach and sing
Justify everything
He was born to be king
He was born to be king
He was born to be king
He was born to be king
He was born to be king
He was born to be king
He was born to be
He was born to be king
He was born to be
He was born
He was born
He was born
He was born
He was born
He was born
He was born
Born, he was born
He was born
He was born
He was born
He was born
He was born to be king
Alone in peace he'd bring
He was born to be king
Look down to teach and sing
Justify everything
He was born to be king
Alone in peace he'd bring
He was born to be king
Look down to teach and sing
Ya tell me that ya think it's over
Somethin's wrong it never fails
Call it just a premonition
Hammer in those rusty nails
Now you say your life's so empty
All dressed up and nowhere to go
You forgot that being friendly
It's for real & not just for show
Blood on your barbed wire thorns
Yeah yeah yeah
The dogs were howlin' on the day you were born
Yeah yeah yeah
Can't talk & say you lied
So how do you know
The mountains tumble & the river has died
Ok what a show
Now everybody needs attention
Don't you know it's been a while
Just how long have you been waitin'
To get you out of your exile
Speak about your superstition
Crucified by poverty
You're to blame for your decision
Won't give you no guarantee
Blood on your barbed wire thorns
Yeah yeah yeah
The dogs were howlin' on the day you were born
Yeah yeah yeah
Can't talk & say you lied
So how do you know
The mountains tumble & the river has died
Ok what a show
Behind the door that bears no name
Someone will call
Always in vain
Losin' your way is completely absurd
I'm standing in your doorway
Like I've done a thousand times
I keep waiting for an answer
That don't come
I can get through anything
Live through any storm life can bring
But when it comes to losing you
There's nothing I can do
But cry for you, baby
Die every time
That I hear your name
Don't know what to do
A man shouldn't cry
Like I cry for you
Ever since you said goodbye
Baby, every single night
I cry for you
I keep staring at your window
Trying to see through your walls
'Cause the walls we build
Ain't always made of stone
I'm standing out in the rain
Knowing I can't touch you again
It's the hardest thing to take
The thought of it makes me
Cry for you, baby
Die every time
That I hear your name
Don't know what to do
A man shouldn't cry
Like I cry for you
Ever since you said goodbye
Baby, every single night
I cry for you
Blame it on pride
My fatal mistake
'Cos I never stopped loving you
No, I never said a word
I just let you go
Now I'm paying for it all
Ever since you said goodbye
Baby, every single night
I cry for you
Cry for you, baby
Die every time
That I hear your name
Don't know what to do
A man shouldn't cry
Like I cry for you
Ever since you said goodbye
Baby, every single night
I cry for you
Cry for you, baby
Die every time
That I hear your name
Don't know what to do
A man shouldn't cry
Like I cry for you
You cried all night
It looks like rain upon your face
Come early light
It's time to get back in the race
Now there's no doubt
The world's a cold and lonely place
It sucks you in
Chews you up and spits you out
But I know where you've been
That door's easy to walk in
Like a broken wheel stops turnin'
You ain't going nowhere
Now you've gotta heal that burnin'
Or you ain't got a prayer
Like a broken wheel
You're not alone
Someone somewhere feels just like you
But you don't know
Which way to turn or what to do
No need to ask
I'll pull you through these troubled times
So hold on fast
I'll drag you to the finish line
'Cos I know where you've been
That door's easy to walk in
Like a broken wheel stops turnin'
You ain't going nowhere
Now you've gotta heal that burnin'
Or you ain't got a prayer
Like a broken wheel
Had enough now your heart's breakin'
Bad enough you hesitatin'
Keep your head, you gotta stand your ground
A fool for love, you get mistaken
Can't forget the hurt you've taken
This old world has really got you down
Like a broken wheel stops turnin'
You ain't going nowhere
Now you've gotta heal that burnin'
Or you ain't got a prayer
Like a broken wheel
Like a broken wheel, oh oh oh
Like a broken wheel
Not forsaken, another heart
They lie taken in foreign parts
Someone breakin' another heart
They lie waitin' in foreign parts
Old England's skies
- turn black and she cries
- wet again
All England's eyes
- turn black and they cry
- yet again
Standing over another heart
Winds blow colder in foreign parts
And the nameless, the sacred heart
Come to claim us from foreign parts
Old England's skies
- turn black and she cries
- wet again
All England's eyes
- turn black and they cry
- yet again
Old England's skies
- turn black and she cries
- wet again
All England's eyes
- turn black and they cry
- yet again
Oh! - Yeah! - Ooh!
(Keyboard Solo)
Old England's skies
- turn black and she cries
- wet again
All England's eyes
- turn black and they cry
The rain has chased away the sun
The darkest night has yet to come
And now you're fallin' in too deep
It won't be long 'till you fall asleep
You count your blessings one by one
And everythin' that has been done
Well it's a game you've gotta win
It's your life
You know where you've been
So don't you weep, don't you cry
Secrets that you thought you'd keep
Farewell to wisdom, goodbye
When you're a face in the crowd
You have to shine thru' with grace
No need for shoutin' out loud
Not for the parts you take
Or for the hearts you break
Somethin' that you can't deny
Don't let it all pass you by
Now you don't seem to get around
And in everythin' you've found
Somehow nothin' stays the same
And believe some of us remain
So don't you weep, don't you cry
Secrets that you thought you'd keep
Farewell to wisdom, goodbye
When you're a face in the crowd
You have to shine thru' with grace
No need for shoutin' out loud
Not for the parts you take
Or for the hearts you break
Somethin' that you can't deny
Don't let it all pass you by
You're lost in the wilderness
Ain't no way of leavin'
You think you're helpless
In a place unknown
You don't know you're standin'
At the gates of Eden
Someone's waitin'
When I forget to say
Every little thing I feel
When I am far, far away
And nothing in this world seems real
When I get lost on the way
When I feel dark and I can't speak
Everything I do goes wrong
You tell me that time is the thief
And promise there's a place I belong
When I can't think what to say
Don't give up now
That would hurt too much
Don't give up now
And say you've had enough
It won't be long
Till I'm back in your arms again
So please be strong
Till I'm back in your arms again
I count the days
Till I'm back in your arms again
So when I forget to say
Every little thing I feel
And when I am far, far away
Nothing in this world seems real
When I get lost on the way
Don't give up now
That would hurt too much
Don't give up now
And say you've had enough
It won't be long
Till I'm back in your arms again
So please be strong
Till I'm back in your arms again
I count the days
Till I'm back in your arms again
Whatever the distance
I don't care
Nothing will stop me now
Call and I'll be there
I count the days
Till I'm back in your arms again
It won't be long
Till I'm back in your arms again
So please be strong
Till I'm back in your arms again
I count the days
Till I'm back in your arms again
Hey, babe
Coming back home to you
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Coming right home to you
Coming home
I look & I stumble
But I never find
From this ragged bundle I know
A mountain I'll climb
It's so unforgivin'
I wish I could fly
But I'll keep on livin' this way
Escape or deny
All my bridges are broken
My direction is lost
Yesterday's caught in the past
Yeah I'm stuck here
I can't get across
So don't be offended
It's not yours to keep
Yeah you can surrender yourself
And fall into sleep
Those cold naked fingers
That tear out your mind
And so don't you linger too long
They'll leave you behind
All my bridges are broken
My direction is lost
Yesterday's caught in the past
Yeah I'm stuck here
I can't get across
Confrontation is comin'
Gonna blow me away
Don't know how long I can last
Yeah I'm stuck here
I'm nowhere today
Slip thru' the doorway
There's nowhere to run
I try to keep myself sane
Feels like there's no one left under the sun
Lookin' for someone to blame
Well I got nothing to lose I've paid my dues
ain't got no one to deceive but that don't make me grieve
you gotta rock me baby rock me
you gotta rock me baby rock me
you gotta rock me baby rock me
now if you're looking to please well then that's all I need
but when you're giving up me head remember what I said
you gotta rock me baby rock me
you gotta rock me baby rock me
you gotta rock me baby rock me
now if you give me your time well then I'm feeling fine
but if you give me your love there ain't no one above
you gotta rock me baby rock me
you gotta rock me baby rock me
you gotta rock me baby rock me
now if you're looking to please well that's all I need
but when you're giving me head remember what I said
you gotta rock me baby rock me
you gotta rock me baby rock me
Did you ever give all your heart and your soul for something
Then they're torn up into pieces one by one
Have you ever considered or promised your faith undying
Has it ended in a moment for someone
Because all that is right
All that is real
All that is love all that you feel
Does not always come true
Does not always come true
Though you learn by the things that you did and have
gone before you
And you trust that you won't make the same mistake
by the time you realize anything you're only half through
It's the fool who wins for you it's just too late
Because all that is right
All that is real
All that is love all that you feel
Does not always come true
Does not always come true
Ask me for answers none can be heard
Give me your promise give me your word
Because all that is right
All that is real
All that is love all that you feel
Does not always come true
I won't be home tonight
I got your news but I feel all right
I'm gonna take this town
I'm gonna turn it upside down
You won't tell me no more lies
Won't need no alibis
You're the one
You're the one who walked out on me
You're the one
You're the one who yelled victory
Things have changed, now that you're gone
Don't you know you're the one
You're the one
You're the one who'll be history
Don't want your love anymore
Don't wanna hear you knocking on my door
So don't you come back tonight
Everything'll be locked up tight
What's a man supposed to do
I won't be cryin' over you
You're the one
You're the one who walked out on me
You're the one
You're the one who yelled victory
Things have changed, now that you're gone
Don't you know you're the one?
You're the one
You're the one who'll be history
You won't tell me no more lies
Won't need no alibis
You're the one
You're the one who walked out on me
You're the one
You're the one who yelled victory
Things have changed, now that you're gone
Don't you know you're the one
You're the one
You're the one who'll be history
You're the one
You're the one who'll be history
Don't need to tell you
You're the one
You're the one who'll be history
I won't be cryin' over you
(You're, you're the one)
You're the one, what's a man supposed to do
Hiding somewhere out of sight,
Oh, you alright
Feeling, pulled from left to right,
Oh, you alright
You're been alone again tonight,
No one has called
If they had known,
I think they might,
'cause you've got it all, yeah
There are times it's hard to swallow...
When the world comes down on you...
May it shine on you tomorrow...
And your dreams, they all come true...
Oho...
I hear you crying to yourself,
Oh, that's not right
And I know you,
Oh, you need somebody's help,
Oh, for tonight
But you sit alone,
Turn off your light, feeling so small
You should have known how well you might,
You've got it all
There are times it's hard to swallow...
When the world comes down on you...
May it shine on you tomorrow...
And your dreams, they all come true...
There are times it's hard to swallow...
Oh, when the world comes down on you...
May it shine on you tomorrow...
Oh, and your dreams, they all come true...
Sing it...
Oh - oh - oh
May all your dreams come true...
Dreams come true for you...
Love don't come easy so don't treat it light
Remember there's two sides you'll make it alright
No magic potion no way to tell
Could be like heaven might be like hell
You're tempted to look around comes to us all
In moments of pleasure you're bound to recall
One bad decision that's all it will take
From something you treasure to something you break
Walking the straight line I hope it's the same with you
Racing in the shadows pounding of the feet
While the old men get to praying
And the children try to sleep
Just another promise they don't really care
'Cause the movement on the borders
Got the people running scared
Standing on the corner never got things done
If you leave your front door open
You'll be the foolish one
No misunderstanding no honour among thieves
It's a sorry situation
When a gun is all you need
Go call the vigilante
He'll turn this place upside down
Go call the vigilante
He don't get kicked around
Hold on there's a new way a comin'
Looks like it's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice
Racing in the shadows pounding of the feet
While the old men get to praying
And the children try to sleep
Just another promise they don't really care
'Cause the movement on the borders
Got the people running scared
Go call the vigilante
He'll turn this place upside down
Go call the vigilante
He don't get kicked around
Hold on there's a new way a comin'
Looks like it's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice
Hold on there's a new way a comin'
Looks like it's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice
Hold on there's a new way a comin'
Looks like it's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice
Vigilante vigilante man
Here we go through the wide open spaces
oh cold winds blow sands of time in our faces
beggars plead with others greed in high places
oh love is won love is lost leaves no traces
take your eyes across the seas past the mountains
oh do you hear through its far someones counting
people write armies fight children shouting
oh love is warm love is real love's abounding
who holds the answer to the universe
who holds the answer to the universe
who holds the answer to the universe
eagles fly past the sun to the rainbow
yes they decide where they're from where they can go
but no one cries someone hides in the shadows
oh love is kind love is yours love is mellow
who holds the answer to the universe
who holds the answer to the universe
1) Send my love on the telephone
No one answer - no one's home
Call after call
I just get nothing at all
2) Dirty Feelings they can't be right
Try again - for tomorrows night
No luck at all
Has got me walking the floor -
Walking the floor
Refrain: Good love
Forsaken
Two hearts
On breakin'
Good love
Mistaken
Two hearts

There's a rainbow on Sunset Boulevard
Made of tears from Hollywood
People praying for their Green Card
Pay to play
Work for food
Only in America
Only in America
Only in America
Only in America
Swear alleigance every morning
It's another sunny day
Well it's murder on the freeway
Someone's life gets blown away
There's a pirate on the radio
There's a preacher on TV
Call the C.I.A Big Daddio
Tell the White House I'll be free
(Only in America) Only in America
(Only in America)
(Only in America) Only in America
(Only in America)
Tijuana 'cross the border
Eat the worm see paradise
Education in Las Vegas
Cut the cards and roll the dice
People come to California
And they aim to do it right
Every waitress a performer
You'll be famous overnight
(Only in America) Only in America

(Only in America) Only in America

I've been lookin' for a lover
Gonna help me out of trouble
I want someone to believe in
Hold me down without a struggle
I want more than clothes and make up
I need love and conversation
I want someone to be waitin'
So much give and so much takin'
I've got ideas on my mind
I'm gonna make them come true
I want you!
Is that too much
Too much to ask
Too much
Too much, too fast
Oh, me, I don't want anyone
I want you
Want a dedicated woman
Don't want countless explanations
Too much talk and sayin' nothin'
Don't want clever imitations
I need love and understanding
I get high on expectations
Will you tell me what you're thinkin
About every situation?
I got ideas on my mind
I'm gonna make them come true
I want you!
Too much
Too much to ask
Too much
Too much, too fast
Oh, me, I don't want anyone
I want you
I've been lookin' for a lover, yeah
Gonna help me out of trouble
Oh, is that too much
Too much to ask
Oh, me, I don't want
Me, I don't want
Too much
Too much - too much - too much
Too much
Too fast - too fast - too fast
Too much
Ttoo much to ask - no, no
Too much
Too much too fast
Me, I don't want
Me, I don't want
Too much
Too much
Too much
All of my dreams that fell through and had tasted so sour
Take second place in my mind for this one sacred hour
Still I've been moved for so long by this strange fascination
Here as I stand all alone in complete concentration
Face through the clouds in the Gods shine with awe and splendour
Rise up and roar they approve will they always remember
I hear the voice of the crowd, it will last forever
Locked in my heart kept away like a stolen treasure
I can hear them calling
Hear the crowd applauding
If it's real I like the feeling
If I'm wrong who am I deceiving?
Night after night it repeats an exciting romance
Shared by us all though we met by a fleeting half-chance
Caught, trapped in time no escape from this powerful dreamworld
This book of dreams
On the shelf lay between
All the secrets you found out
So clever
So close your eyes
It remains to be seen
All the riches you can count
Forever
Thru' Heaven's gate
You run before it gets too late
Into the Celtic twilight
So pay the price
'Cause he won't ever ask you twice
The bells ring out at midnight
The Moonking is waitin' again
And maybe he'll welcome you in
To ride on a warm solar wind
Back where your dreams can begin
The Moonking is callin' again
But never a sound to be heard
So up thru' a bright silver sky
Waitin' but never deterred
The longest sleep
Like a black dog at your feet
And the daytime will recede
So coldly
So jump in deep
There's no time to retreat
It's everythin' you need
Go slowly
The dead of night
You're sayin' words you can't recite
A sea of noise so empty
Get on your way
There's no excuse for the delay
Before it's just a memory
The Moonking is waitin' again
And maybe he'll welcome you in
To ride on a warm solar wind
Back where your dreams can begin
The Moonking is callin' again
But never a sound to be heard
So up thru' a bright silver sky
It burns brighter than the stars at night
Just as faithful as the falling light
It's wilder thant the roaring sea
That's what it means
That's what it means to me
And I don't know what I'd do
If you took your love away
I'd be dying by the day
If you took your love away
Stronger than the coldest wind
Like the night sky never seems to end
A remembered long-lost memory
That's what it means
That's what it means to me
And I don't know what I'd do
If you took your love away
I'd be dying by the day
If you go away
There's a fire in your heart
It gets into my soul
And I know how it feels
To be losing control
There's a fire in your touch
And it never grows cold
Though we stand at the edge
Still we never, never, never
Never lose hold
Next to Heaven's holy prize
Warmer than the morning sunrise
Everywhere and everything you see
That's what it means
That's what it means to me
And I don't know what I'd do
If you took your love away
I'd be dying by the day
If you took your love away
Far horizon where the Eagles cry
Across the desert, over mountain high
I know that's how it has to be
That's what it means
That's what it means to me
I don't know - don't know -
Don't know -don't know -don't know
And I don't know what I'd see
Mo. no
I'd be dying by the day
If you go away
There's a fire in your heart
It gets into my soul
And I know how it feels
To be losing control
There's a fire in your touch
And it never grows cold
Though we stand at the edge
Still we never lose hold
There's a fire in your heart
It gets into my soul
And I know how it feels
To be losing control
There's a fire in your touch
And it never grows cold
Though we stand at the edge
Still we never, never, never
I feel like I am on another planet
The hunter is on the prowl he's got his eyes on me
Silent I tread because he's tracking me down
Awake in my bed I know he's sneaking around
I see culture disappear before me
A gathering of the few who will be torn apart
Foolish the heart that will succumb just to last
Broken the dream when all this does come to pass
The jackal is king down here
Although he's the great pretender
The jackal will smile and leer
A message of bad news
He is the bringer (repeat)
A new change has been swept abroad
A new face for us all
My questions shall be ignored
And too soon will we fall
I hear someone talk that does confound me
On carrion he will feed
Strip clean your warm desire
Dreadful the sight to witness carnage revealed
Hungry the jaws that once lay darkly concealed
The jackal is king down here
Although he's the great pretender
The jackal will smile and leer
A message of bad news
When the night is on the run
and your dreams are almost gone
seas of fire snatch your soul
beast of morning then unfold
in a whirlpool sadness creeps
shadows walk with silent feet
is there something in the air
turns your hope into dispair
Oh kingdom of madness you've got me undone
oh kingdom of madness you've really begun
oh kingdom of madness you've got me on the run
When the night is on the run
and your dreams are almost gone
seas of fire snatch your soul
beast of morning then unfold
take your hands away from me
leave my eyes so I can see
it's not pleasure that you seek
you destroy the ones who are week
Oh kingdom of madness you've got me undone
oh kingdom of madness you've really begun
oh kingdom of madness you've got me on the run
the minstrel sings as he
looks at me
but he doesn't make a sound
and a lovely time is had
by all
as the jester takes his crown
everyone's laughing
everyone's laughing
everyone's laughing but me
Oh kingdom of madness you've got me undone
oh kingdom of madness you've really begun
She gives it everything she's got
And I believe it's going to be a lot
'Cause deep in her heart
She's got a steam hammer pumping, keeps jumping
You know, you know, you know, you know
There's nothing in the world that makes you feel that something
She don't know she's got the key
But she's working at it desperately
You can tell by her walk
She's just a natural lover, no cover
You know, you know, you know, you know
There's nothing in the world compares or makes you suffer
Like the feel of a woman
Feel of a woman
Feel of a woman
Leaves me defenceless
Like the tears of a woman
And those tell tale eyes
Tears of a woman
Still leaves me helpless
She gives it everything she's got
And I believe it's going to be a lot
'Cause deep in her heart
She's got a steam hammer pumping, keeps jumping
You know, you know, you know, you know
There's nothing in the world that makes you feel that something
Like the feel of a woman
Feel of a woman
Feel of a woman
Leaves me defenceless
Like the tears of a woman
And those tell tale eyes
Tears of a woman
Still leaves me helpless
Like the feel of a woman
Feel of a woman
Feel of a woman
Leaves me defenceless
Like the tears of a woman
Tears of a woman
Tears of a woman
Still leaves me helpless
Like the feel of a woman
Feel of a woman
Feel of a woman
Leaves me defenceless
Like the tears of a woman
And those tell tale eyes
Tears of a woman
Still leaves me helpless
Like the feel of a woman
Feel of a woman
Walking like a lover
Feel of a woman
Talking like a lover
Leaves me defenceless
Like the tears of a woman
And those tell tale eyes
Tears of a woman
The rain beats on my window
And the Moon lights up the dark
It starts the shadows chasing
And the dogs on the run begin to bark
The church bell's strikning midnight
And the lights have all gone down
The sea's as dark as thunder
And I feel like a wanted man on sacred ground
Now the wind cries out, it's taking you away
But there's nothing I can do
Passing ships into the night
We can't stay together
I won't win but I can fight
Looks like we're in for stormy weather
Tall lights on the highway
They disappear from view
There's no-one coming my way
Now I've lost it all it seems I'm losing you
Now the wind cries out, it's taking you away
But there's nothing I can do
There's a fog down on the beach
It rolls on forever
You get further out of reach
Looks like we're in for stormy weather
Passing ships into the night
We can't stay together
I won't win but I can fight
Looks like we're in for stormy weather
Stormy weather tonight
There's a fog down on the beach
It rolls on forever
Looks like we're in for stormy weather
Passing ships into the night
We can't stay together
I won't win but I can fight
Looks like we're in for stormy weather
Soldier of the line how does it feel
You're far away from home polishing steel
The sun moves in between the mountain and sky
As dawn puts out its fingers splitting them wide
Soldier of the line what do you know
About the other side, they never show
They must be well disguised biding their time
Their armour well prepared so nothing will shine
Soldier of the line would you kill me
There's something in your eyes stopping you see
They're cloudy and you turn your head away
What's that rolling down your face, are you OK?
Hold back those tears from your eye
Don't show those feelings inside
You're in a murderous playground
War games on a castle wall
You're in a murderous playground
Crossed out if you dare to fall
Soldier of the line it isn't fair
You're bleeding deep inside nobody cares
Your flag and lance stand proud splintered and red
No movement in the field, the crows will be fed
Soldier of the line you've come to the end
You'll never get to see your mother again
Some unfamiliar place you're going to stay
I write my story using all my own ideas
I don't know the ending, but there'll be tears
I made my own sky cause I know what it's about
There's no defending, well scream and shout
I don't conceal many things, but beware
In time I will fall, that's alright, I don't care
Chorus:
So let it rain, oh let it rain down one me
Yeah let it rain, oh let it rain down one me
You know that I don't give a damn
I'm only me, that's who I am
So let it rain, so let it rain
Let it rain, yeah let it rain down on me
Your days are numbered, telling you which way to go
And your existence, an all time low
No need to worry, you're the last thing on my mind
I'll go the distance, see what I find
People say I'm a fool, that's unfair
Stay in the way, if you want, I don't care
Chorus
So let it rain, oh let it rain down one me
Yeah let it rain, oh let it rain down one me
You know that I don't give a damn
I'm only me, that's who I am
So let it rain, so let it rain
Yeah Let it rain, down on me
Some people would try to hide but instead, they never redeem
And maybe one day it will happen to me
I still watch all the clouds uá¹— ahead, flood out to the sea
And when it comes down, it means nothing to me
Chorus
So let it rain, oh let it rain down one me
Yeah let it rain, oh let it rain down one me
So let it rain, so let it rain
Oh Let it rain, down on me
So let it rain, oh let it rain down one me
You know that I don't give a damn
I'm only me, that's who I am
So let it rain, so let it rain down one me
Yeah let it rain down one me
So let it rain, oh let it rain down one me
Yeah let it rain, so let it rain, oh let it rain down one me
You know that I don't give a damn
I'm only me, that's who I am
So let it rain, oh let it rain down one me
No promises to keep
Won't lose an hours sleep
Talks fast but makes no sense
The mask of innocence
Turns on the golden light
Perception clear and bright
He don't need no crystal ball
Don't need no one at all
He's a reckless man
He won't crack as a matter of fact
He's a political man
He's got blood on his hands
He thinks he wrote the book
Just take a second look
He reads it every day
Then tells it anyway
He's a reckless man
He won't crack as a matter of fact
He's a political man
He's got blood on his hands
He's a reckless man
He won't crack as a matter of fact
He's a political man
He's got blood on his hands
He's a reckless man reckless man
He won't crack as a matter of fact
Pray for the day
This city's wall
Concrete for chains
Will crumble and fall
Pray for the day
On top of the world
Nothing breaks in
Cross after cross
They have to dig in
Where to begin
Remember at the border
When the blood ran like water
Murdered for escaping
While the world looked on shaking
On top of the wolrd ...
They crowned you with pain
And emptied your head
Your rescuers came
And left you for dead
Now it has to be said
Remember at the border ...
And all across the land
The keys to freedom jammed
Remember at the border ...
Not a tree on the skyline
Nor a bird in the wing
Whispers frozen for all time
No man's land will be king
Left deserted a cold smile
From the way they've been served
Virgin mother and her child
Turn their face from the world
Just for a moment, they're only men
On Christmas day
There'll be no killing or fighting
On Christmas day
There'll be no thunder and lighting
On Christmas day
On Christmas day
Many years they'll remember
And they'll toast absent friends
On that cold day, December
They'll be back there again
And just for a moment, they're only men
On Christmas day
There'll be no killing or fighting
On Christmas day
There'll be no thunder and lighting
On Christmas day
On Christmas day
The wind blows cruel and hostile, on that deserted land
No shepherd sacrifice the lamb
While prayers of guilt and duty, race upwards to the sky
Collide in fearsome combat cry
Oh, the guns and the ships and the planes of every county
For the wins and the gains, what a price, it's much too high
Don't look away and wonder, this savage poetry
Is set to drag you under with arms of jealousy
The sun won't rise up shining, on fields of evergreen
Shot down by a crossfire with a scream
The seasons change so slowly and bring on winter's song
Till no-one knows where they belong
Oh, the guns and the ships and the planes of every county
For the wins and the gains, what a price, it's much too high
Don't look away and wonder, this savage poetry
Is set to drag you under with arms of jealousy
On Christmas day
There'll be no killing or fighting
On Christmas day
There'll be no thunder and lighting
On Christmas day
On Christmas day
Tell me how long you will take
Trying to make up your mind
Maybe it's already too late
I'll just be left behind
For right or wrong, baby, still I hold on
Don't let it burn down in flames
It's a matter of survival
A matter of survival that we're apart
That's all we live and die for
I wish someone would tell it to your heart
So scared when I walk to your door
I saw you turn out the light
I can't take this hurt any more
I shout it out to the night
Living without you ain't living at all
Tell me how do I get by?
It's a matter of survival
A matter of survival that we're apart
That's all we live and die for
I wish someone would tell it to your heart
I walk the streets in the night
I feel your spirit deep inside
It comes with the darkness, stays till the light
I got to face it, there's nowhere to hide
It's a matter of survival
A matter of survival that we're apart
That's all we live and die for
A matter of survival
A matter of survival that we're apart
That's all we live and die for
I wish someone would tell it to your heart
Your heart
A matter of survival
A matter of survival
There's a time you will remember
Not too many years gone by
When the flame became an ember
Truth became a lie
Kiss them all and say goodbye
And in our minds we have been tempted
Every man would be a king
Some imagined, some invented
Freedom on the wing
We had a dream for everything
Have you heard
Love's a stranger in this cruel world
Have you heard
There's a danger you might get hurt
I won't take you down the road that you can't follow
Or desert you on a sea of dreams
And I won't promise you the world is yours tomorrow
I won't leave you, nothing's bad as it may seem
You can choose but you can't borrow
From the bible or the gun
One's salvation, one is sorrow
Justice will be done
And make its claim on everyone
Have you heard
Love's a stranger in this cruel world
Have you heard
There's a danger you might get hurt
I won't take you down the road that you can't follow
Or desert you on a sea of dreams
And I won't promise you the world is yours tomorrow
I won't leave you, nothing's bad as it may seem
I won't take you down the road that you can't follow
Or desert you on a sea of dreams
And I won't promise you the world is yours tomorrow
I won't leave you, nothing's bad as it may seem
I won't take you down the road that you can't follow
Or desert you on a sea of dreams
And I won't promise you the world is yours tomorrow
I won't leave you, nothing's bad as it may seem
I won't take you down the road that you can't follow
Or desert you on a sea of dreams
And I won't promise you the world is yours tomorrow
ow the piper stands alone, waiting for a sign that will be given
As they close the gates of dawn, hiding from the dark, they will be driven
As I stand before you now, saying things I dream about
You wonder how I've seen all the things that you have missed out
The question will arise, how they can survive but they will shiver
And they look with anxious eyes, melting like the snow into a river
Now all this will come to pass, the promise has broken all
Your fathers of ages past, now they only wait for the call
Lonesome star - mother earth
Lonesome star - is it worth
Did you ask her how old you are?
To wonder if you've come far
Lonesome star - lonesome star - lonesome star
Yeah!
(Flute Solo)
Lonesome star - Mother Earth
Lonesome star - Mother Earth
Cannons roared in the valley they thundered
While the guns lit up the night
Then it rained and both sides wondered
Who is wrong and who is right
On the wire like a ragged old scarecrow
Bloody hands and broken back
When they fire see him pirouette solo
Jump in time to the rat a tat
What a night though it's one of seven
What a night for the dancing dead
What a night to be called to heaven
What a picture to fill your head
By the wall in a silouette standing
Through a flash of sudden light
Cigarette from his mouth just hanging
Paper square to his heart pinned tight
Gather round reluctant marksmen
One of them to take his life
With a smile he gives them pardon
Leaves the dark and takes the light
CHORUS
They dispatch their precious cargo
Knock him back right off his feet
And they pray may no one follow
Better still to face the beast
When the field has become a garden
And the wall has stood the test
Children play and the dogs run barking
Who would think or who would guess
I've been rejected, left unprotected
And you might say I'm a no account
But I'm still growin' and the river's still flowin'
Now I know just what it's all about
Ain't well conencted, can't get accepted
That's justa nother bridge I have to cross
I'm a Believer and faith's a healer
But there's a price to pay I know the cost
And if takes a long time
There's no excuse
Just one more heartbreak
Another memory
Turn me loose
Just one more heartbreak
You'll have to run to me
The looks of tension, too cold to mention
Like muddy boots on someone's polished floor
Ain't broken hearted, weill I've just started
I've ot some boots you've never seen before
I can wait, I can dream
Forget the bad news
Just one more heartbreak
Another memory
Turn me loose
Just one more heartbreak
You'll have to run to me
And so we live,
Hour by hour fades away,
But I know this,
I'll make the best of every day
Just one more heartbreak
Another memory
Turn me loose (turn me loose)
Just one more heartbreak
You'll have to run to me
(Turn me loose) turn me loose
(Just one more heartbreak)
Another memory
Turn me loose (Just one more heartbreak)
You wouldn't believe your eyes
You wouldn't believe your ears
Out of the dawn skies
Suddenly it appeared
I wonder why they're here
Do they understand
Seems they will destroy someone's master plan
Looking across the sea
Looking across the land
Wondering what they'll find
Wondering what's at hand
Breathing in the air feel the falling rain
Getting all prepared for the final day
From out of the crimson air
Suddenly came the fire
Look at the flaming sky
See how the flames grow higher
Alien your day this not to be
All the people say let the world be free
You wouldn't believe your eyes
You wouldn't believe your ears
Into the dawning skies
Suddenly disappeared
Set their course for Mars
Leave the world behind
Tracking through the stars
Tired & neglected
Lost for the moment
Thoughts are collected
Never relent
Cold winds are blowin'
Green fields are empty
Rivers are flowin'
Back to the sea
The clock in the courtyard
Chimes out it's message
And witness the changes
They're meant to be
I wouldn't change it for a thousand years
If I ever lose my mind
It's not the way that anythin' appears
And I won't let it all unwind
It's a journey to the promised land
I don't know how long it takes
Pretty soon I'll have to play my hand
After all they're my mistakes
Caught in the shadows
Hiding completely
All good intentions
Carry the day
I've no objection
No need to worry
It's pure invention
It takes me away
I wouldn't change it for a thousand years
If I ever lose my mind
It's not the way that anythin' appears
And I won't let it all unwind
It's a journey to the promised land
I don't know how long it takes
Pretty soon I'll have to play my hand
After all they're my mistakes
I really don't know where we are
Or what we've become
In time these things will come to pass
Before we're undone
I wouldn't change it for a thousand years
If I ever lose my mind
It's not the way that anythin' appears
And I won't let it all unwind
It's a journey to the promised land
I don't know how long it takes
Pretty soon I'll have to play my hand
When love walked in
And put a smile on your face
Quickened your step
And put you back on the case
When love walked in
Oh, when love walked in
I swear you never had a chance
When love walked in
When love walked in
You got in out of the rain
Running yourself
Into a full hurricane
When love walked in
Oh, when love walked in
Way down in Never Never Land
When love walked in
She's a hard hearted woman
She's going to make you cry
She's all made up
Got the devil in her eye
She knows what she wants
You'd better do what you can
A hard hearted woman
Is going to make a fool of a man
When love walked in
It made you empty your head
Played with your heart
And put your senses to bed
When love walked in
Oh, when love walked in
Hit you like a runaway train
When love walked in
She's a hard hearted woman
She's going to make you cry
She's all made up
Got the devil in her eye
She knows what she wants
You'd better do what you can
A hard hearted woman
Is going to make a fool of a man
When love walked in
And put a smile on your face
Quickened your step
And put you back on the case
When love walked in
Oh, when love walked in
I swear you never had a chance
When love walked in
She's a hard hearted woman
She's going to make you cry
She's all made up
Got the devil in her eye
She knows what she wants
You'd better do what you can
A hard hearted woman
Is going to make a fool of a man
She's going to make you cry
She's all made up
Got the devil in her eye
She knows what she wants
You'd better do what you can
A hard hearted woman
Is going to make a fool of a man

The morning slumbers not for me
The sun has gone letting me down
I wake in wonder I can see
The rain has come turning me round
The morning slumbers not for me
The sun has gone letting me down
I wake in wonder I can see
The rain has come turning me round
But it's alright now
Yes it's alright now
Cause it's all come together
In the last few days it's been better
All come together right now
The seven wonders of the world
Were broken and ready to fall
The king lay dying all alone
In sadness I'll always recall
But it's alright now
Yes it's alright now
Cause it's all come together
In the last few days it's been better
All come together right now
I had to feel good feeling good is all I need
You have to start with sad so good means what it means
And there's been lots of sad for me for me
But it's alright now
Yes it's alright now
Cause it's all come together
In the last few days it's been better
All come together right now
I think I've tumbled now at last
I guess there ain't nothing to choose
A fallen angel follows me
It looks like there's no time to lose
But it's alright now
Yes it's alright now
Cause it's all come together
In the last few days it's been better
All come together right now
Breathing in the air feel the falling rain
No answers to all your questions
No gun at your head
But you will see
Don't dwell on your rejections
Just you let them be
Some people will try and tell you
You're wasting your time
But they don't know
They've been nowhere, didn't want to
And they'll never go
It's a precious thing
You don't want to lose
But with every word you say
All that you can bring
You don't get to choose
Please don't throw it all away
Now I feel better
Thank you for the day
For the day
We'll last forever
Thank you for the day
For the day
Be careful, you'll be sorry
You'll wake up and find
When you come down
No reason for you to worry
You'll still be around
It's a precious thing
You don't want to lose
But with every word you say
All that you can bring
You don't get to choose
Please don't throw it all away
No stormy weather
Thank you for the day
For the day
We'll fall together
So thank you for the day
For the day
Now I feel better
Thank you for the day
For the day
We'll last forever
Thank you for the day
For the day
No stormy weather
Thank you for the day
For the day
We'll fall together
So thank you for the day
For the day
I dreamt I saw the cities burning
At the gates I saw the angels cry
Now there'll be no turning
And still I wonder why
I dreamt I felt the hand of reason
Coming slowly down, it passed me by
It's just the killing season
It's a foolish lie
We all run - it's a pity for everyone
It's all gone - and there's nothing that can be done
We all run - so get ready, the time has come
We all run - it's all over, the game is won
And I dreamt I took a thousand footsteps
To a sea as black and filled with tears
Now there'll be no goodness
For a thousand years
I dreamt I crossed a raging river
That was pure and clear and washed away
All my troubles wither
Into another day
We all run - it's a pity for everyone
It's all gone - and there's nothing that can be done
We all run - so get ready, the time has come
We all run - it's all over, the game is won
The cost is too much
In nothing we trust
Everything we touch
Turns into dust
We all run - it's a pity for everyone
It's all gone - and there's nothing that can be done
We all run - so get ready, the time has come
We all run - it's all over, the game is won
We all run - it's a pity for everyone
It's all gone - and there's nothing that can be done
We all run - so get ready, the time has come
Look at my face and you can tell
There's not a trace that you know well
An empty space, a broken spell
No lesson, no possession
Hypnotic trance, electric smile
Worked out advance, might last a while
Some secret plan, complete denial
No questions, all deception
There's no way of knowing the way I'll be going
There's no way of knowing the truth
I can't stop
This heart of mine now that it's over
This heart of mine says it's the end
This heart of mine turning much colder
This heart of mine is hard to defend
I can address and I can heal
You can't possess the way I feel
I might be blessed with something real
Too painful, your black angel
Now you've been told, your body not soul
Gets you more than you could need
Only you found out, you're losing control
Slow down before we both start crying
Yeah yeah there will be no denying
Just wait before the first starts flying
Yeah yeah you know we're all just dying
Slow down before we both start crying
Yeah yeah you know they'll all start lying
So for a hundred years there won't be a trace
You can't hide, not in this place
I never thought these things could happen today
Buries so deep, hidden away
But then the lighting flashed and the thunder it roared
Everyone said you've been here before
And as the door slammed shut, you're completely ignored
You'll never sleep, you'll sleep no more
I've walked and all the bells were ringing
Yeah yeah and all the lights were blinking
I walked with every step I'm thinking
There are no secrets under the sun
All our troubles are rolled into one
Early warning, get ready to run
But it's hard to see clear
For we might disappear
With the prize hardly won
When books and theories daily contest
It's like a welcome from the chapel of rest
No salvation, no one is blessed
While in private we shake
There's no time to make
One small request
No more winners or losers
To talk into the night
No more beggars or choosers
They're drawn into the fight
Don't seem to get too far with anger and pain
We just start over and do it again
No matter who we are, we're all the same
Different religion by some other name
It's time to come together
Let's talk man to man
It's time to come together
But we don't give a damn
Know where you're going to, know where you've been
Sometimes it's crazy and you won't get in
We seem to talk a lot with nothing to say
Always tomorrow seems so far away
It's time to come together
Things change far too fast
It's time to come together
They take everything you have
And turn you upside down
You break and you feel so sad
They've got you spinning around
Oh, what a day
You try, you do your best
But nothing seems to work
You're not like all the rest
When you're the one who hurts
Oh, what a day
When everything in your world has gone wrong
Can't get to sleep and the morning won't come
No one around you to help you along
You've got to take it, you've got to be strong
Be strong, just be strong
Don't look back, let them do their worst
That's all they have to do
Your place could be in reverse
Your future coming through
Oh, what a day
You don't have to feel this way
When someone turns you down
There will be another day
Your star will soon come around
Oh, what a day
Stay with me though the night
You can stay with me all your life
'Cause we both really need to get together
Make everything all right
It's not bad, it's just some rainy weather
If you've never made a fool of me
If you've never had
But you did know and I could see
Now it's making you sad
Well, it's making you sad
Everybody needs someone
Everybody needs someone
Everybody needs someone to love
When you're letting every day go by
Like water through your hands
No, you'll never get it back again
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
'Cause there's never been nobody alive
Who can practice everything they've learned
But there's a lot of people who survive
I never shot no one
You're not my enemy
'Cause I'm a peaceful man
Live till eternity
I'd never steal from you
No one can own this place
My God is strong and true
He'll never fall from grace
We died for this land, so pray for us all
We're pictures in sand, they're closing the door
Hearts have been bled and crashed to the floor
Like brothers we stand, they've fooled us once more
How can you feel at ease?
Look at the things you've done?
You always will deceive
But then your day will come
The future was planned and now we must crawl
Let justice be damned, they've taken it all
Now things that you read, you've seen it before
Like brothers we stand, they've fooled us once more
They came from a place that's so different
To teach us it all
We welcomed and gave no resistance
But then came the fall
They didn't realise they were strangers
Why am I here in this lonely dark room?
Did I do something or acted too soon?
The dogs they howl, the prisoners do cry
A king he is born but a poor man he will die
I believe if you look through your window
Try reaching out to the rainbow
You will find it was stolen by shadows
Time will tell if I did speak out of turn
Then I'll know it was a lesson well learned
I hear no sound, though I see before my eyes
A faceless wave in a desert I despise
I believe if you look through your window
Try reaching out to the rainbow
You will find it was stolen by shadows
But I know it's only for the moment
And the moment goes so fast
And the seconds of the future
Are the seconds of the past
'Cause it all goes in circles
And ends where it started
And the journey is familiar
Though you think it's uncharted
You could easily have been this way
A hundred times before
As another day passed, I secretly hide
All the funny feelings from deep down inside
Still I can but wonder how everyone knows
How they can believe in the thorn but no rose
Somebody ought to show them how to see
Somebody ought to tell them how to be free
I am a wheel that keeps turning
Cast out on a journey unending
This serves me well
Because I know I'm a seeker of fortune
None can explain or can foretell
Starlight on an ocean unbroken
Soft winds will refuse to be woken
All remains the same
And just like a silvery fountain
I never shot no one
You're not my enemy
'Cause I'm a peaceful man
Live till eternity
I'd never steal from you
No one can own this place
My God is strong and true
He'll never fall from grace
We died for this land, so pray for us all
We're pictures in sand, they're closing the door
Hearts have been bled and crashed to the floor
Like brothers we stand, they've fooled us once more
How can you feel at ease?
Look at the things you've done?
You always will deceive
But then your day will come
The future was planned and now we must crawl
Let justice be damned, they've taken it all
Now things that you read, you've seen it before
Like brothers we stand, they've fooled us once more
They came from a place that's so different
To teach us it all
We welcomed and gave no resistance
But then came the fall
They didn't realise they were strangers
