Robin Trower (born Robin Leonard Trower, on 9 March 1945) is an English rock guitarist and vocalist who achieved success with Procol Harum during the 1960s, and then again as the bandleader of his own power trio.
Trower was born in Catford, South East London, England and grew up in the seaside resort of Southend-on-Sea, Essex. In 1962, Trower formed a group that became The Paramounts, later including fellow Southend High School pupil Gary Brooker.[Believe this should be Westcliff High School for Boys] The Paramounts disbanded in 1966 to pursue individual projects. During this time, Trower created a local three-piece band called 'The Jam' (not to be confused with the later group with Paul Weller). Trower then joined Brooker's new band Procol Harum following the success of their debut single "A Whiter Shade of Pale" in 1967, remaining with them until 1971 and appearing on Procol Harum's first five albums.
Before launching his own eponymous band, he joined singer Frankie Miller, bass player James Dewar, and former Jethro Tull drummer Clive Bunker to form the short-lived combo Jude. This outfit did not record and soon split up.

If you stand in the light, you get the feel of the ride
And the music that plays in your ears
In your head you can hear, a voice so sweet and clear
And the music that plays in your head
As it flows up from the ground
Taking all who hear that sound
Close your eyes, its about to begin
Hardly daring to breath, a new life you perceive
You try hard not to break the spell
While at once it seems both, so far and yet so close
If you reach out to touch, it will be gone
As it flows up from the ground
Taking all who hear that sound
Close your eyes, its about to begin
Close your eyes, its about to begin
Close your eyes, its about to begin
I saw a light, just up ahead
But I couldn't seem
To rise up from my bed
I'm not alone, then I am
People seem
To think I'm Superman
But I watch for the love
I'm livin' in the day of the eagle
Eagle, not the dove
It's like a weight that brings me down
If I don't move, I'm on the ground
It's in my mind, it's in my soul
It's tellin' me the things I can't be told
It's a watch for the love
Livin' in the day of the eagle
Eagle, not the dove
'Nother day, 'nother night
I want to love, they want to fight
I need the time, I've got to be alone
I've got to meet a lover on my own
I watch for the love
Livin' in the day of the eagle
The sun don't shine
The moon don't move the tides,
to wash me clean
Sun don't shine
The moon don't move the tides,
to wash me clean
Why so unforgiving and why so cold
Been a long time crossing Bridge of Sighs
Cold wind blows
The Gods look down in anger,
on this poor child
Cold wind blows
And Gods look down in anger,
on this poor child
Why so unforgiving and why so cold
In this place, filled with empty space
Your love holds the key, baby sympathize with me
I need you
Before I lost, your touch of life and grace
I knew that your sweet face could always comfort me
I love you
In this place, full of empty space
Your soft and tender love will always shine for me
I love you
Now I know, what it means to have you gone
I'm down on my knees baby see by me
Lady love
I heard a voice and it soothed me
Lady love
A simple tune and it moved me
Move me and sooth me
Leading me home
Truly for me now
Lady love
Lady love
The man's a fool to be leaving
Dreams of love
Passing by like the seasons
Maybe I'll wake up
Oh, tell me I will
And find you there waiting
Lady love
Lady love
I need some warm and tender
Nights of love
Sweet and fine to remember
Maybe tomorrow
Your fever will find me
Waiting for me now
Lady love
I'll find you waiting, lady love
Find you there waiting, lady love
I'll find you waiting, lady love
There’s a blood red vision
In the sunset sky
A time for big decision
A time to testify, oh yeah!
When you’re tired of losing
When the well runs dry
When it comes to choosing
Tell me why why why
Chorus:
No time for running, hiding
No backsliding
You can’t take something for nothing, oh no
Ev’ry body’s watching you now
When the light is falling
On the twisted tree
When the voodoo’s calling
You’ll remember me
Repeat Chorus
Yeah, yeah – they’re watching you
Yeah, yeah - ev’ry body’s watching
Ev’ry body’s watching you now
"I think I've travelled here before,
And stood upon this velvet shore,
That looks out to the golden ship of Reason."
The man took to the gentle life,
The wind cried to the skies,
I felt that I would cry as I was leaving.
Tomorrow is a step away,
Twice removed from yesterday's sadness.
Still I am a dream away,
Twice removed from yesterday's sweet madness.
"And in my dream, I thought I heard
The truth behind the spoken word.
I thought that I had something to believe in."
But all too soon the dream was gone,
And in the dust that lingered on,
The tears that I'd shed tried to free me.
Tomorrow is a step away,
Twice removed from yesterday's sadness.
Still I am a dream away,
Sweet Angel
Fold your wings on me tonight
Sweet Angel
Take me up on your next flight
When your move has got me floating,
I'll find Jupiter with Mars
Rise up as pure mortals,
Take me to the stars
Sweet Angel
Turn away this fate less tide
Sweet Angel
As other worlds go spinning by
You’re the reason why I'm falling
From the edge up to the sun
Soul, mind and body melting, into one
Yeah!
(guitar solo)
Sweet Angel, time to gather every prey
Sweet Angel, pursed from lips of Ruby Red
With the theme of great intention
I will play my part
There's a time for livin'
And a time for love
There's a time for forgiving y'all
And a time to shove
There's more won than lost
More hoping you to spare
And it's waitin', waitin'
Don't you spend your whole life hesitatin'
Come and tell the truth
Shame the devil
There's more light than dark
Honey, shine down on you[Incomprehensible]
And baby you'll need the truth
This whole world has had enough
Of people giving up, yeah
And it's waitin', waitin'
Don't you spend your whole life hesitatin'
Come on, tell the truth
Shame the devil
And it's waitin', waitin'
Don't spend your whole life hesitatin'
Come on, tell the truth
Shame the devil
But don't you know that it's waitin', ample waitin'
Don't you spend your whole life hesitatin'
Come on, let loose
I could brave the storm
Hold on to the guiding light
With you by my side
And your arms around me tight
We could fall into ecstasy
Somewhere beyond the night
And drown beneath the waves
Of our own love
Drown in a sea of love
Chorus:
Drown in a sea of love
Drown yeah
Drown in a sea of love
Drown yeah
Let the world go on
Let it glow in its own light
We know that we belong
Together now and for all time
We will be swept away
Far from our conscious mind
To drown beneath the waves
Of our own love
Drown in a sea of love
Repeat Chrous then solo
Repeat Intro
We could fall … etc
Rock me baby, rock me all night long
Rock me baby, honey, rock me all night long
I want you to rock me baby, like my back ain't got no
bone
Roll me baby, like you roll a wagon wheel
I want you to roll me baby, like you roll a wagon wheel
Want you to roll me baby, you don't know how it makes me
feel
Rock me baby, honey, rock me slow
Yeah, rock me pretty baby, baby rock me slow
You had to see the lights from the other side
Now the situation’s tight you’re on the slide
Well things didn’t go your way so you had to run
And now you think “well, okay but where’s the fun?”
Chorus:
It’s a natural fact – opposites attract
It’s a natural fact – call it destiny
Now it’s cold out on the street and the night is long
And the music you found so sweet is just a siren song
Now you dream about a home you used to hate
You don’t have to be alone it’s not too late
Repeat Chorus then solo
Day is over, fading light
I don’t want you to go tonight
I would die for one more hour in your arms
Once were lovers, special friends
Losers now at our stories end
We two together for this one last goodbye
Take this moment keep it fine
Hold it safe in your mind
Taste this pain coz its all that remains of our love
Chorus:
Where the sorrow lives
Where the time forgives
Don’t forget that I’m dyin’ here inside
Over you
Looking back now wondering
‘Bout the sadness that love can bring
And how time turned our bonds into chains
I can see now, I was wrong
Acted bad for so long
Now I know that I needed a show something more
Repeat Chorus then Robin guitar solo
Chorus:
Love won’t wait forever
Make up your mind
Love won’t wait forever this time
We’d be great together
Give me a sign
Love won’t wait forever this time
I don’t know the lives you chose
Or where it may lead
Only hope can satisfy your need
I don’t understand the pain
That pushes you on
You’ve been flying solo so long
Repeat Chorus
Robin guitar solo
Standing where the roads divide
Is fine for today
I don’t wanna push you either way
I can only say so much
Your mind is your own
Take me now or make it all alone
The light is strong and the man is weak
And the world walks in between
So rise above on the wings of love
See and let yourself be seen
See and let yourself be seen
So fill your cup and drink it on up
For tomorrow never comes
If you wield the rod, answer to your God
But me I'll be up and gone
I'll be up and gone, gone, I'll be up and a gone
If the sea was glass and the land all gone
Would you still be a friend to me
When my time has passed, is it to much to ask
For a little bit of sympathy, just a little bit of sympathy Lord
A little bit of sympathy, a little bit of sympathy Lord, yeah
Little bit of sympathy, little bit of sympathy
A little bit of sympathy, a little bit of sympathy
Inside out, your love has turned me upside down
Inside out, your love has turned me upside down
Please don't mess me baby
You got me spinnin' round and round
First you say on monday
That your love is true
I only hope that someday
I'll believe in you
Inside out, your love has turned me upside down
Please don't mess me baby
You got me spinnin' round and round
{solo}
First you say you need me
Then you take it back
Baby please believe me
My mind's about to crack
Inside out, your love has turned me upside down
Please don't mess me baby
You got me spinnin' round and round
Inside out, your love has turned me upside down
I'm tellin ya
Inside out, your love has turned me upside down
Please have mercy baby
We were laughing in a daydream
With the world beneath our feet
And the sun smiled on the water
Where the skies and the ocean meet
We was a spellbound
Ohh spellbound
We were listening down on the rainbow
As the leaves fell to the ground
Whispering as they tumble
And the wind laughed at the sound
We were spellbound
Ohh spellbound
We were spellbound
Ohh spellbound
We were children in a garden
Where the flowers kiss the sky
And the birds sang out in wonder
As the day went sailing by
We were spellbound
Spellbound
Ohh spellbound
Spellbound
Ohh spellbound
A veces mis sueños son
Un mar de preguntas que no sé responder
Me pierdo una y otra vez
Y no encuentro salidas a mi alrededor
Pero éste amor tan real, cósmica universal
Que yo siento por ti
Me acelera y me enamora, me lleva hacia ti
Contigo sólo quiero vivir
Y a veces creo que soy feliz como soy
Mi fuerza eres tú
Y no hay nadie que me entregue
Más amor, más calor y más luz
Mi fuerza eres tú
Y a tu lado sólo quiero estar
A veces sin miedos voy
Y otras me escondo sin saber dónde ir
Me enredo una y otra vez
De noches en vela y sin respiración
Pero este amor tan real, cósmica universal
Que yo siento por ti
Me acelera y me enamora de ti
Contigo sólo quiero vivir
Y a veces creo que soy feliz como soy
Mi fuerza eres tú
Y no hay nadie que me entregue
Más amor, más calor y más luz
Mi fuerza eres tú, ya no hay nadie más
Y a veces creo que soy feliz
Mi fuerza eres tú
Y a tu lado sólo quiero estar
Deja que te muestre que soy tuyo
Y que no tengo temor
Aparta mis dudas, contigo sólo quiero vivir
Contigo mi amor
Soy tan feliz como soy
Mi fuerza eres tu
Soy tan feliz como soy
Mi fuerza eres tú
Y no hay nadie que me entregue
Más amor, más calor y más luz
Mi fuerza eres tú
Y a tu lado sólo quiero estar
Soy tan feliz, mi fuerza eres tú
Y no hay nadie que me entregue
Más amor, más calor y más luz
Mi fuerza eres tú
When surrounded by confusion
And the future seems unclear
When the road has not been chosen
By yourself or someone near
Chorus:
I climb above the rooftops
Where the air is fresh and sweet
I climb above the rooftops
And leave the world
And leave the world beneath my feet
I wipe away the traces
Of the city from my skin
There are no tired old faces
Out where the dreams begin
Repeat Chorus then solo
Caroline, Caroline
Let me take you home tonight
Make you mine, Caroline
Changing darkness into light
It’s a funny game we’re playing
You try to play it down when you see me low
You know what my eyes are saying
I believe you readin' me like a book
You give me your'a cool reception
You try to fool yourself but you won’t fool me
You give me such a cool reception
If I get a chance I can make you see
Will your kiss be like a miracle
When the words are left behind
Could a feeling be more lyrical
Than the dream that’s in my mind
Repeat Chorus then solo
Ain't no lights around this harbor
The sea has turned and gone to bed
Far off cries the lonely siren
Or is that a voice within my head
Right or wrong I knew what she was saying
Cried out her heart such a lovely face
Behind her eyes the sun is dying
Maybe the moon can take it's place
Out there ships upon the winds are dancing
Tired old hands the sails unfold
Around their eyes the wind is sighing
Maybe the end a tale untold
Far off cries the lonely siren
Say what you want
I ain’t ever gonna change my mind
Do what you want
I only wanna stay alive
And when you realise
What you’ve turned aside
And cry one thousand tears
I would still be here for you
Fly on the wind
Hide your face behind the clouds
But I won’t give in
Your love I can’t do without
If you think it possible
For you to walk away
And stay away for one thousand years
I would still be here for you
I would still be here
I would still be here
I would still be here
For you
Then solo
Traveling that wind and laugh at the crowd, ummm the fool and me
Howl at the moon baby yeah out loud, the fool and me
And ohh oh, where ever we go
We keep the spirit free
Ohh nobody knows
No one but the fool and me
Stretching on out and feeling fine, the fool and me
Two fools dancing on the hands of time, yeah
The fool and me
And ohh oh, where ever we go
We keep the spirit free
Ohh nobody knows
No one but the fool and me
Running like the wind and laugh at the crowd, the fool and me
Howl at the moon yeah out loud loud, the fool and me
And ohh oh where ever we go
We keep the spirit free
Ohh nobody knows
I know men who cheat and lie
I know some who pray
Others try to hide their secrets away
I’m the kind who toes the line
Try to pay my dues
Now it seems that I got nothing to lose
Chorus:
I’m gonna tear it up tonight
This is my time
I’m gonna tear it up tonight
Takin’ what’s mine
I’ve been keepin’ score
Time I took some more
I’m gonna tear it up tonight
So stand aside
Took away my heart and soul
Left me black and blue
Now I think your debt to me’s overdue
Dug too deep and now you’ve found
Something much too strong
Hope you realise what you’ve taken on
Repeat Chorus then Robin guitar solo
You were all the rays of sunlight
Shinin' gold to me
Every color of the rainbow
I was blessed by her decree
You were every moment's magic
Joy beyond compare
You were all the rays of sunlight
I was lost without a care
Victims of the fury
Shadows in the dark
Victims of the fury
Arrows found their mark
So we lived our days in rapture
Like the world could never end
We weren't thinkin' 'bout the future
We had time enough to spend
We were blessed as though in heaven
We were messengers of joy
There were angels all around us
There was none who dared destroy
Victims of the fury
Shadows in the dark
Victims of the fury
Arrows found their mark
Then the world collapsed around us
And the tables overturned
We were lambs before the slaughter
We were driven out and burned
Yes, the world collapsed around us
And the archers found their mark
We were victims of the fury
We were shadows in the dark
Yeah, victims of the fury
Shadows in the dark
Oh, victims of the fury
Arrows found their mark
Victims of the fury
Shadows in the dark
Victims of the fury
There beneath the diamond sky
caviar and the moon light wine
she has'nt yet made up her mind
if she'll take me
See my love it's stoned indeed
got my future at your feet baby
the simple life ------!
you can take me
And every day gets stronger
everyday it grows and grows
I can't wait much longer
Round and round in dreams I go
set me free baby or tie the bow
up or down let me know
!!! oh dont ignore me !!!
And everyday gets stronger
and everyday it grows and grows
I can't wait much longer
Get my coat and I'll catch the train
make my way down to new orleans
tryin to save -----!
oh to console me
And everyday gets stronger
everyday it grows and grows
I can't wait much longer
And everyday gets stronger
everyday it grows and grows
Hannah, walking in beauty, like the night
Hannah, soft as the early morning light
Nothing I do, brings me to you
Hannah, let me love you
Hannah, distance surrounds you everwhere
Hannah, living in memories I can't share
Living a life, wide as the sky
Hannah, mmmm let me love you
Hannah, queen of my nights, light of my day
Hannah, slowly the hours fade away
Wishes for you, never came true
Hannah, mmm let me love you
Let me love you
Got to love you
Mmmmm, love you
It is the face that is the mirror
It is the eyes to look within
And the door remains open
A passing dream calls you in, calls you in
It is the mind that knows no distance
And yet how far no one can say
While the hand is helplessly waiting
With each breath a life begins, a life begins
Oo, don't they see it's just like sleeping
Please don't wonder oh, how they know
While you dream a child is weeping
And each tear's a soul, for earth below, for earth below
For earth below
For earth below
For earth below
Llévame tú me dijiste y yo
No lo llegué a dudar
Y te saqué de allí, voy a ser
Quien te acompañe hoy
Voy a enseñarte a ver
Todo lo que hay en mí
Quiero que sepas que nunca voy a abandonarte
Y aunque cambie lo demás
Yo no te pienso cambiar
Nadie me dijo que un día
Iba a escuchar tu voz
Diciendo que me querías
Hasta morir de amor
Toda una vida contigo
Viéndote sonreír
Quiero tenerte siempre cerca de mí
Esta vez
No pediré perdón
Tan solo tratare
De hacerte más feliz
Llegare
Donde haya que llegar
Para escucharte
Y para hacerte oír
Quiero que sepas que nunca voy a abandonarte
Y aunque cambien los demás
Yo nunca voy a cambiar
Nadie me dijo que un día
Iba a escuchar tu voz
Diciendo que me querías
Hasta morir de amor
Toda una vida contigo
Viéndote sonreír
Quiero tenerte siempre cerca de mí
Toda una vida contigo
Viéndote sonreír
Quiero tenerte siempre cerca de mí
Oh a stitch in time, just about saved me
From going through the same old moves
And this cat is nine
He still suffers
He's going through the same old grooves
But that stone just keeps on rolling
Bringing me some real bad news
Takers get the honey
Givers sing the blues
Too many cooks yeah spoil such a good thing
I know I laughed out loud but that was then
Ain't it funny, a fool and his money
Always seemed to find was those real good friends
That stone just keeps on rolling
Bringing me some real bad news
The takers get the honey
The givers sing the blues
Well that stone keeps on rolling
Bringing me some real bad news
The takers get the honey
The givers sing the blues
A stitch in time, helps to unfold me
Circus starts at eight so don't be late
Please be so kind not to wake me
I think I'll just sit this one out
Well I'm too rolling stoned
I'm too rolling stoned, yeah
Like a rolling stone
Just, just, just like a rolling stone
Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling stone
Yeah, too rolling stoned
I have seen our life apart
and I've, seen our life together
I know here in my heart
what's bringing me most pain
I have tried to see the good
and I, wish for life forever
But now I realize
can't go that way again
I don't want you
I don't need you, anymore
In the hope that this is true
I'm turnin' away from you
and This Blue Love
You say that there were times
When our love was at full flood
And you and I believed, we were unbreakable
But the love has ebbed away
with a cooling of the blood
And the storm that we went through, was unmistakable
I don't want you
I don't need you, anymore
In the hope that this is true
I'm turnin' away from you
and This Blue Love
{Bridge}
I don't want you,
I don't need you...
There’s a stranger staring back
And you in the mirror
Guessed that you’re a man on the run
There’s a ghost from the past
Looking over your shoulder
Your chance to escape is a million to one
But your eyes are on the future
But your back’s against the wall
You’re walking on a tightrope
Watch you don’t fall
Chorus:
Coz its down to the wire
Time to deliver
The hang tough
When you’re under the gun
Your rhythm and a fire
There’s a hand on the trigger
Nowhere to run
When you’re under the gun
You were captain of the ship
And master of the game
Anything you want it to be
Oh but then the rules got changed
And the ship went up in flames
And you found yourself
Lost out at sea
You’ve been counted out of action
Scattered in the wind
Are you walking on water
Coming back again?
Repeat Chorus then solo
You’ve been counted … etc
Let's throw a party, let's invite everybody
Let's drop some glasses on the floor
Turn up the noise, have some fun with the neighbors
Let's have them banging on the door
We're havin' a party, everyone is invited
Welcome to our wedding night
Ring up some friends and ask them all over
Let's do this whole thing up right
Then we'll turn out the lights when they've all said "goodnight"
Let the sweet wine of life ever glow
Turn out the light when they've all said "goodnight"
Let the sweet wine of love overflow
Yes, and down in the street where they're wheelin' and dealin'
The corner crowd all see the light
And they'll smile at the window, Oh they know how we're feelin'
Welcome to our wedding night
Yes, we'll turn out the light when they've all said "goodnight"
Let the sweet wine of life ever glow
Turn out the light when they've all said "goodnight"
Let the sweet wine of love overflow
And we'll turn out the light when they've all said "goodnight"
Let the sweet wine of life ever glow
Turn out the light when they've all said "goodnight"
Let the sweet wine of love overflow
Somebody calling
calling my name
somebody walking
over my grave
I was back in the arms of my baby
I would sleep in the arms of a dream
I would sit in a church for my baby
And I'm welcome, do you know what I mean?
Somebody sign
sign for me
somebody crying
for me
I was back in the arms of my baby
I would sit in the arms of a dream
I was test in the chance of my lady
I was lost in the desert
Outrun by my past
I cried and the God’s took pleasure
When I stumbled they laughed
Looked like my life was shattered
Pick it up let it fall
There was a time it mattered
Now I just don’t care at all
I woke up feeling desolate
Tried hard to understand
I asked her for some water
She filled my mouth with sand
Looked like my life was shattered
Pick it up let it fall
There was a time it mattered
Now I just don’t care at all
Shattered, Baby I’m shattered
Robin guitar solo
I was walking in my sleep
My hands and feet were tied
The night was in so deep
I could not tell she lied
Looked like my life was shattered
Pick it up let it fall
There was a time it mattered
Now I just don’t care at all
Shattered, Baby I’m shattered
Read your letters
Line by line
Same old story
Doing just fine
You tell me that he loves you
But babe I believe you’re lyin’
You know I’ll love you better second time
Come back to me babe
Pack your clothes
No-one’s watching
Coz no-one knows
Now he don’t really want you
So stealin’ you ain’t no crime
I know you’ll love me better second time
He’s treats you dirty
Plays around
Leaves you hurtin’
But you won’t, no you won’t back down
The phone is ringing
What’s the news
Thought it over
Got nothing to lose
You say you’re on the run now
Coz neither ones worth a dime
So babe they’ll never be no second time
Stop your stallin’
Holdin’ out
Hear me calling
But you won’t, no you won’t back down
Robin guitar solo
He’s treats you dirty
Plays around
Leaves you hurtin’
But you won’t, no you won’t back down
Stop your stallin’
Holdin’ out
Hear me calling
A gypsy sings, of birds with broken wings
and painted wheels that never roll
Who hears the sighs? Who stole this paradise?
Who took the fire from his soul?
And where are the roads to freedom?
Where is the life his father knew?
Where is the love, where is the joy
and tell me, where are the roads to freedom?
Now truthful life, who hears the soldier cry?
He was a hero of the war
But no one comes near, he sheds a lonely tear
and wonders what it all was for
And where are the roads to freedom?
Where is the life his father knew?
Where is the love, where is the joy
and tell me, where are the roads to freedom?
Solo
And where are the roads to freedom?
Where is the life his father knew?
Where is the love, where is the joy
and tell me, where are the roads to freedom?
So long, oh how I hate to see you go
So long, oh how I hate to see you go
And the way that I will miss you
I guess you will never know
We've been together so long, to have to separate this way
We've been together so long, to have to separate this way
I'm gonna let you go ahead on baby
Pray that you'll come back home some day
You said you once had loved me, but now I guess you have
changed your mind
You said you once had loved me, but now I guess you have
changed your mind
Why don't you reconsider baby
I got no frustrations playin' on my mind
No complications, I guess I'm doin' fine
I got no money, can't even pay my rent
I end up on one thing, and to me its heaven sent
I've got my pride, hiding inside
I've got my pride
Tell me tell me now
I've got my pride, hiding inside
I've got my pride
I saw a man this mornin' sitting both sides of the fence
Being diplomatic, had lost his common sense
If he had his wits about him, you'de know he was a fool
Cuz if you can't find no solution, then you got to play it cool
I've got my pride, hiding inside
I've got my pride
Let me hear ya say it babe
I've got my pride, hiding inside
I've got my pride
I've got my pride, hiding inside
I've got my pride
I've got my pride, hiding inside
Well I've been down so long that I can't get up
Drink my life from an empty cup
I ain't taking no messin' from the likes of you
There ain't no messin' now mess with the blues
Messin' the blues, messin' the blues
Messin' the blues, messin' the blues
Well lonely days and lonely nights
Tell your honey that it just ain't right
Well baby baby don't let me be blue
Cuz there ain't no messin' like messin the blues
Messin' the blues
Fine little belly got a gleam in my eye
Ask no questions and I get no lies
I ain't no angel but I end up used
Down, down, down with the blues
Down with the blues
Dealin' the blues
WRITTEN BY: James Dewar, Robin Trower
I want to be, I got to be
I want to be, I got to be
I heard there was a future bride
Who will before your eyes
Oh, I guess I never knew
Yeah, what your woman's getting up to now.
I want to be, I got to be
Man of the world
I want to be, I got to be
Man of the world
I want to be, I got to be
Man, man, man
I want to be, I got to be
I really tried to make ends meet
Keep your vow, turn off the streets
And I never wondered what you was feeling
All the time I was achieving and a stealing, yeah
I want to be, I got to be
Man of the world
I want to be, I got to be
Man of the world
I want to be, I got to be
Man of the world
I want to be, I got to be
And I tried to see the light
And I tried to turn back to fight
But all my friends that I was choosing, yeah
They were double dealers and a four-time losers, yeah
I want to be, I got to be
Man of the world
I want to be, I got to be
Man of the world
I want to be, I got to be
Man, man, man
I want to be, I got to be
Oh, yeah
I want to be, I got to be
Man of the world
I want to be, I got to be
Man of the world
I want to be, I got to be
The heat is like an oven
Give me a little slack
One more to make a dozen
And it’s about to crack
I’m a dancer who can’t keep time
A reason without a rhyme
My heart is like a window
And it’s about to break
If you could see right in though
You’d know how much to take
I’m an actor without a play
A believer who wants to stay
Chorus:
It’s a love attack
It’s a love attack
Baby I warn you now
It’s a love attack
The will begins to weaken
And then begins to snap
Your love is like a beacon
You love is like a trap
I’m a gangster without a crime
A gambler without a dime
Long misty days
Told me they would change their ways
Once in a while will come my way
The thrill is gone
Misty days linger on and on
Once in a while is here to stay
We feed this fire
Lovers in a nursery rhyme
The words belong to you
And the melody was mine
Long misty days
Told me in a million ways
Once in a while will come my way
Oh how the moon
Shining at a lonely room
Weeping willow cry for me
Sing me a song
Simple as the day is long
I love someone crying to be free
And take the sky
And tell me if the moon is blue
And if it's meant to be
That my melody was used
Long misty days
Told me in a million ways
Once in a while will come my way
Long misty days
Told me they would change the ways
Falling in love was the last thing I had on my mind
Holding you so warm that I thought I could never find
Chorus:
Sitting here alone just trying to decide
To go on alone or stay by your side
Then I stop myself coz I don’t wanna cry
I just can’t find the answers to the
Questions that keep going through my mind
Isn’t it time?
Maybe this time we should hesitate
Taking the chance could be my mistake (isn’t it time)
Falling in love would be tempting fate
Falling in love could be my mistake
I’ve seen visions of someone like you in my life
I know that you’re reaching out holding me through the
darkest night
Repeat Chorus then solo then repeat chorus from ‘isn’t
it time’
(I Would) Still be Here for You
Written by Robin Trower and Dave Bronze
Say what you want
I ain’t ever gonna change my mind
Do what you want
I only wanna stay alive
And when you realise
What you’ve turned aside
And cry one thousand tears
I would still be here for you
Fly on the wind
Hide your face behind the clouds
But I won’t give in
Your love I can’t do without
If you think it possible
For you to walk away
And stay away for one thousand years
I would still be here for you
I would still be here
I would still be here
I would still be here
For you
Then solo
You've got your house, you've got your car
You live up on the hill among the stars
You say you did what you had to do
But was it really worth what they put you through
You know these things we believed in
It didn't touch you at all
I hate to see you like this baby
With your back to the wall
You lost your heart, when you lost your nerve
Maybe you lost your grip on that first curve
You used to talk about bein' free
Why, you're so tied up you can't even breathe
You know these things we believed in
They didn't touch you at all
I hate to see you like this baby
With your back to the wall
Money into money
Money into money
Money into money
Money into money
You're into money, into money
You're into money, money
Into money yeah, yeah
Into money
Into money, into money, into money yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Is your life just a stolen dream?
Full of things that will not pass
Is your mind now a constant stream
Of broken fragments from the past?
Why don’t you try to break away
Why don’t you break away
Chorus:
If you really want to find love – take it from the start
If you really want to find love – look into your own
heart
Possessions are a wasted love
Giving no love in return
To spend your life trying to own enough
Proves you have much to learn
Nobody else is keeping score
No one is keeping score, oh no
Repeat Chorus then solo
Why don’t you try … etc
Tell your heart to lead and be forgiven
Love can be a light but like a stone
Be a friend indeed and vote for living
I want cha home
I want cha home
Remember what we are to one another
You don’t see our love as dead and gone
We have come too far to call it over
I want cha home
I want cha home
I want cha home
I want cha home
Robin guitar solo
Turn another leaf and make it better
Turn away the grief and make it new
I want cha home
I want cha home
I want cha home
I want cha home
Robin guitar solo
Turn another leaf and make it better
Turn away the grief and make it new
I want cha home
I want cha home
I want cha home
He’s so selfish you know its true
Baby he’ll pull the rug right under you
He’s so selfish it just ain’t far
He’s got more fancy moves than Fred Astaire
Now you’re just one more string to his bow
But baby I think there’s something you should know
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
And he’s gonna lose your love
Don’t you worry I making plans
With luck he’ll play straight into my hands
What’s the hurry just take your time
The punishment he gets will fit the crime
Every ace that you deal will return
I’m just waiting for bridges to burn
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
And he’s gonna lose your love
Robin guitar break
Now you’re just one more string to his bow
But baby I think there’s something you should know
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
Caledonia, Caledonia
Seeing you walk by
Make a river twist and shout
Chase the birds down from the sky
Caledonia, who could own ya?
Spirit of romance.
Caledonia, Caledonia dance.
Caledonia, Caledonia
Ya tempt a devils greed
Make an angel lose its wings
Make a fool right outta me
Caledonia, Who could own ya?
Spirit of romance.
Caledonia, oh Caledonia dance.
Caledonia, Caledonia,
Ya make my senses fly.
Give me reason to believe
And I don't wonder why
Caledonia, who could own ya?
Spirit of romance.
Caledonia, ohhhh, Caledonia dance.
Caledonia, Caledonia
Yeah, satisfy my soul.
Caledonia, Caledonia
Yeah, groove me slow.
Caledonia, Caledonia.
Robin Trower - Bluebird lyrics
Album: In City Dreams
Sittin' in the wood alone,
On silver tree that turned to stone –
Branches growin' overhead;
Make your house and feather bed.
Shiny beak and shiny eyes,
Shiny winter paradise.
Singin' to the settin' sun;
Prayin' for the day that's done;
Growin' qui'ter as you watch the snow:
Fallin' down – down - Down – down…
If you want to know his heart?,
Listen… Listen to the bluebird sing…
If I had a voice like thine -
Melody like summer wine -
From sunshine islands, I would bring
Music to the newborn king.
Growin' qui'ter as you watch the snow:
Fallin' down – down - Down – down…
If you want to know his heart?,
Listen… Listen to the bluebird sing…
Instrumental Break
Growin' qui'ter as you watch the snow:
Fallin' down – down - Down – down…
If you want to know his heart?,
Listen… Listen to the bluebird sing…
Do do-do do do-do do…
Do do-do do do-do do…
Do do-do do do-do do…
Do do-do do do-do do…
Do do-do do do-do do…
Dry your eyes-wipe away your tears-my precious one
Everyday, some way, some where we'll fall
The world must turn, that's why we try to keep movin' on
It's always been that way … that's all.
Now, I'm not sayin' you won't find somethin' to believe in
Even the search can define the truth
But first time impressions can be so deceivin'
When somethin' does your heart, you just turn it loose
And we will meet another time
The sun on our face
And we will meet another time
Another time, another place
There will be days when you just want to give it up
But things don't always have to go our way
So take a drink, when they pass you the cup
The bitter can taste so sweet, another day
And we will meet another time
The sun upon our face
And we will meet another time
Another time, another place
(guitar solo)
So dry your eyes-wipe away your tears-my precious one
And watch as da-ays go spinnin' by
The moments are lost when you hear the siren song
The spell will break when you hear first one cry
And we will meet another time
The sun upon our face
And we will meet another time
When you are gone
Shadows of doubt come out
All coz the night’s
They get so long
That’s when our love is found
You can’t erase all the fears
And make the ghosts disappear
Just like you do when you hear
I am gone
Chorus:
O baby
All that I want I is the reassurance
That love will stay
All that I need is your heart to beat with mine
The light’ll never fade
Away
Sometimes the miles
Can open up all the doors
Wipe out the distance between us
Talk all the rumours
Just say your heart is still true
I just wanna hear it from you
All that we have
We can’t lose when the mind is sound
I make life easy just by laughin'
I was the first to see the joke
When they said I'm afraid we are losing
Don't like the way you gave up hope
Alethea, Alethea
Don't let them put the blame on you
What seems so bad now
Could easily change for the better
I turned away from all that hurt me
Now just a faded memory
Ohh get on track sister baby
Love the love that wants to be
Alethea, Alethea
Don't let them put the blame on you
What seems so bad now
Could easily change for the better
Alethea, Alethea
Don't let them put the blame on you
What seems so bad now
I don’t wanna play it safe girl
Fact I don’t wanna play at all
I think it’s time to get serious
Let’s turn this fight into a brawl
I want to see what you’ve been hiding
Under that sweet talk southern crawl
I think its time to get serious
Let’s turn this fight into a brawl
Chorus
Comes a time when fighting words
Are just a line through what’s said or heard
But when two hearts would beat as one
They must show what they’ve become
Let’s turn it, baby let’s turn it, let’s turn it
Let’s turn this fight into a brawl
What you got is so exciting
Why keep it under lock and key?
I think we could between the two of us
Tie this thing up or set it free
But when two hearts would beat as one
They must show what they’ve become
Baby lt’s turn it, c’mon let’s turn it, let’s turn it
Let’s turn this fight into a brawl
Then solo
I am sailing, I am sailing
Home again, across the sea
I'm sailing stormy water
To be near you, to be free
I'm flying; I'm flying
Like a bird across the sky
I'm flying, passin' high clouds
The be near you, baby, to be free
We are sailing, we are sailing
Home again, across the sea
We are sailing stormy waters
To be with you, baby, to be free
Lord, sailing yeah, sailing yeah
Sailing, oh yeah
Sailing stormy water
Trying to be believe
Flying, yeah, flying
Carmen... dreaming in your garden
Carmen... dreams are often broken
You'll lose your chance if you wait
You'll find that you left it too late
You'll find that the moment is gone
You'll be left dreaming on
Carmen... dreaming can be lasting
Carmen... dreaming can be arming
You'll find that the time has been spent
And you won't know where it went
You'll find that the moment is gone
You won't know what went wrong
Well I might be a sinner
and I never was a winner
Down in desolation
till I find my vocation
Found a real solution
that's gonna end my mind's confusion
Got my invitation to the final revelation
Well I used to be a sinner
and I never was a winner
Down in desolation
till I find my real vocation
Hey don't mind my pillar
I'm just looking for my Savior
Goin' over Jordan
I'm layin' down my burden
Used to be a sinner
and I never was a winner
Down in desolation
Is your life just a stolen dream?
Full of things that will not pass
Is your mind now a constant stream
Of broken fragments from the past?
Why don’t you try to break away
Why don’t you break away
Chorus:
If you really want to find love – take it from the start
If you really want to find love – look into your own
heart
Possessions are a wasted love
Giving no love in return
To spend your life trying to own enough
Proves you have much to learn
Nobody else is keeping score
No one is keeping score, oh no
Repeat Chorus then solo
Why don’t you try … etc
Repeat Chorus
Ain't no lights around this harbor
The sea has turned and gone to bed
Far off cries the lonely siren
Or is that a voice within my head
Right or wrong I knew what she was saying
Cried out her heart such a lovely face
Behind her eyes the sun is dying
Maybe the moon can take it's place
Out there ships upon the winds are dancing
Tired old hands the sails unfold
Around their eyes the wind is sighing
Maybe the end a tale untold
Far off cries the lonely siren
Maybe the end a tale untold
I make life easy just by laughin'
I was the first to see the joke
When they said I'm afraid we are losing
Don't like the way you gave up hope
Alethea, Alethea
Don't let them put the blame on you
What seems so bad now
Could easily change for the better
I turned away from all that hurt me
Now just a faded memory
Ohh get on track sister baby
Love the love that wants to be
Alethea, Alethea
Don't let them put the blame on you
What seems so bad now
Could easily change for the better
Alethea, Alethea
Don't let them put the blame on you
What seems so bad now
Could easily change for the better
Hey, now
You can simplify your life
See how
It's such an easy price
To pay now
It's time to go your own way
New love
Was wearing awful thin
True love
Is where we should begin
Hey, now
It's time to go your own way
You won't fall apart
That's not how we see you
You really must take heart
No one else could be you
Every smoke filled room
Every unlit doorway
Is making you more blue
So why not have things your way?
Camille of the street
Floating with the tide
The high heels and the paint compete
With how you feel inside
Your dream
Is surely yet to come
Knowing
Exactly where you're from
Hey, now
Trower-Dewar
Far away,
Out where the mountains kiss the sky
Lost in love,
And days and nights go drifting by
Beyond the clouds, or so it seems
There's a wondrous place for you and I
The lost horizon of our dreams
Where we could watch the world go by
Come with me,
A flower blossoms in her way
Lost in love,
She is the song of life I heard her say
Beyond the clouds, or so it seems
There's a wondrous place for you and I
The lost horizon of our dreams
Where we could watch the world go by
Beyond the clouds, or so it seems
There's a wondrous place for you and I
The lost horizon of our dreams
Where we could watch the world go by
Lost in love
Lost in love
Lost in love
Lost in love
Trower-Dewar
Now other arms will hold her that could have been mine
I should have been bolder, I've wasted my time
Down deep in my hear I know I was too cool
Now I must play out the part of, the part of a fool
Fool, sad and lonely fool
All of my days are friendless, my nights are so cold
Damned to a search that is endless, I'm chasin' fools' gold
You, you could have told me baby, if I was too cool
Now I must play out the part of, the part of a fool
Fool, sad and lonely fool
Fool
Down, down deep in my heart I know I was too cool
Now I must play out the part of, the part of a fool
Fool, sad and lonely, fool
Sad and lonely fool
Sad and lonely fool
Fool, fool, fool, fool I'm lonely
Sad and lonely fool
I'm lonely, yeah
Sad and lonely fool
Fool, fool
Nothing but a fool
It's a fine day! There's nothing moving in the sky.
It's a fine day! Cross my heart and hope to die.
Stay with me baby. The love is in your eyes.
So good being alive on a fine day.
A new day! I feel so good this morning.
It's a new day! There's a promise in the dawning.
Stay with me, baby. The love is in your eyes.
So good being alive on a fine day.
It's a fine day! Now the story is unfolding.
Oh, in his hands. And his hands are like .
Stay with me, baby. The love is in your eyes.
Long misty days
Told me they would change their ways
Once in a while will come my way
The thrill is gone
Misty days linger on and on
Once in a while is here to stay
We feed this fire
Lovers in a nursery rhyme
The words belong to you
And the melody was mine
Long misty days
Told me in a million ways
Once in a while will come my way
Oh how the moon
Shining at a lonely room
Weeping willow cry for me
Sing me a song
Simple as the day is long
I love someone crying to be free
And take the sky
And tell me if the moon is blue
And if it's meant to be
That my melody was used
Long misty days
Told me in a million ways
Once in a while will come my way
Long misty days
Told me they would change the ways
Trower
Call me brother,
All the while back stabbing me;
Sister, mother,
Some of these in misery
It's only money,
And money don't satisfy
My wine to water,
Yes, my gold you turned to dust
Go to your altar
We not forgive where evil must
It's only money,
And money don't satisfy
(Solo)
Call me gypsy,
But to survive is in my blood
Call me gypsy,
Break my skin but not my blood
It's only money
It's only money
It's only money
It's a darkened train
It's a lifeless eye
No reason now to explain
The long goodbye
Stepped into the spotlight
Believed in every part
The world could not fulfill
The playful heart
It's an empty room
A forbidden place
The attitude to assume
Without her face
Not lying down or falling
The breathing will not start
The world could not fulfill
The playful heart
Taught myself to hold on
To words of human warmth
Emotions you have sold on
Without thought
Praying to be bolder
You took me further down
Every touch bewildered
More unknown
It's the hidden door
In the garden wall
The hidden door we all know
Is not there at all
The lock that has no key
Keeps the two apart
The world could not fulfill
The playful heart
The playful heart
The playful heart
The playful heart
The playful heart
The playful heart
The playful heart
The playful heart
I think I've traveled here before
And stood upon this velvet shore
That looks out to the golden ship of reason
The man took to the gentle life
The wind cried to the skies
I felt that I would cry as I was leaving
Tomorrow is a step away
Twice removed from yesterday's sadness
Still I am a dream away
Twice removed from yesterday's sweet madness
And in my dream I thought I heard
The truth behind the spoken word
I thought that I had something to believe in
But all too soon the dream was gone
And in the dust that lingered on
The tears that I'd she'd tried to free me
Tomorrow is a step away
Twice removed from yesterday's sadness
Still I am a dream away
Twice removed from yesterday's sweet madness
I think I've traveled here before
And stood upon this velvet shore
Trower-Dewar
Moonlight and the night is still, before the dawn
The wind cries, it is time for you to be moving on
Some day you will make your way down to the shore
High tide and the sailor longs for the sea once more
Sail on down the days, time and tide stand still
Sail on, sail away, following the wind
Sail on down the days, time and tide stand still
Where were you when I laid crying
Tied down to my lonely bed.
The doctor said? you got dieing
I'm already dead.
You can't take back what you have given,
My life is like a broken glass.
I coulda been a real contender,
I could of had some class.
Thought I heard the bell
Ropes in chains waid down me.
A song for those who fell,
Trower-Dewar
I was raised in the ghetto
And the floor was my bed
The rhythm of the streets
Was my daily bread
It's a restless situation
And each day's a game of chance
'Cause when you dance in the streets
For a nickel or a dime
You learn how to move, babe
You learn how to shine
And if you shine like a star
They'll call you king of the dance
So come on, come on get up on the floor
Come on, come on dance me some more
Come on take a chance
Be the king of the dance
I'm gonna dance for the world
I ain't never gonna stop
It's a long way down
When you're looking from the top
And if you shine like a star
They'll call you king of the dance
So come on, come on get up on the floor
Come on, come on dance me some more
Come on take a chance, baby
Be the king of the dance
Come on, come on, get up on the floor
Come on, come on dance me some more
Come on take a chance, yeah
Be the king of the dance, yeah
I was raised in the ghetto
And the floor was my bed
The rhythm of the streets
Was my daily bread
It's a restless situation
Every day's a game of chance
Come on, come on get up on the floor
Come on, come on dance me some more
Come on take a chance, yes
Be the king of the dance
Yeah come on, come on, get up on the floor
Come on, come on dance me some more
Come on take a chance
Be the king of the dance, yes, yes
Come on, come on now get up on the floor
Come on, come on and dance me some more
Come on take a chance
There you are off in the distance
Much too proud to share
If you choose to prove your existence
Prove that you really care
If you dare show some resistance
What you cannot bear
You won't lose your not a victim
Show that you're really there
Fly low, fly low
See what you've never seen
Fly low, fly low
Fly where you've never been
There you are off in the distance
Sunk without a prayer
You may seek your own deliverance
You'll never find it there
Fly low, fly low
See what you've never seen
Fly low, fly low
Fly where you've never been
Fly low, fly low
See what you've never seen
Fly low, fly low
Down at the bottom of the stairs sits the birthday boy
Reading letters in between the lines
Ready for a little trip to the seaside
Hoping he can make it there on time
Sitting in the station watching choo choo trains
With wheels to take him clicking down the line
The sky is getting darker, but if it rains
It's nicer when the sun comes out to shine
He's had a busy day, tomorrow's on it's way
Time to leave the sea, and hurry home for
Tea is waiting on the table for the birthday boy
Grandfather's clock is ticking in the hall
Sitting by the fire, now the birthday boy
Is feeling very sleepy, very small
He's had a busy day, tomorrow's on it's way
Time to leave the sea, time to leave the sea
He's had a busy day, tomorrow's on it's way
Time to leave the sea, time to leave the sea
Time to leave the sea, time to leave the sea
Time to leave the sea, time to leave the sea

I'm out to get you,
Create a disturbance in your mind
I've been sent to select you,
From another place in time
It's gonna be something new,
And you better not hesitate
For the first time in your life,
You can celebrate
Close your eyes, count to ten
Make a wish and we'll be there
Turn around, and maybe then
Your whole life can start again
So the world keeps on turning,
Through the years that lie ahead
From it's pages we're learning.
By it's wisdom we are led
It's gonna be something good,
And you should understand
So it was, and so it is,
Since time began
Close your eyes, count to ten
Make a wish, and we'll be there
Turn around, and maybe then
Why is it that civilized humanity
Can make the world so wrong?
In this hurly-burly of insanity
Our dreams cannot last long.
We've reached a deadline,
A press headline, Every sorrow.
Blues value is news value
Tomorrow.
Blues
Twentieth century blues
Are getting me down.
Blues
Escape those weary
Twentieth century blues.
Why,
If there's a God in the sky,
Why shouldn't He grin
High
Above this dreary
Twentieth century din?
In this strange illusion,
Chaos and confusion,
People seem to lose their way.
What is there to strive for,
Love or keep alive for,
Say, 'Hey, hey!'
Call it a day?
Blues
Nothing to win or to lose,
It's getting me down.
Blues
Escape those weary
Twentieth century blues.
We've reached a deadline,
A press headline,
Every sorrow.
Blues value
Is news value
Tomorrow.
Blues
Nothing to win or to lose,
It's getting me down.
Blues
Escape those dreary
Twentieth century
And from this day
I'll be with you
Across each bridge in time
A child at play
We will live the new
Together watch the moons align
We'll not silence one
Who won't believe
Thought every trial is run
For the need
And we shall call it love
The here and now
We dare not leave
The spell will break too soon
The speed unknown
And futures pass
This must and will renew
Gather days to us
We hold them close
Children from the dust
Safely home
And we shall call it love
Gather days to us
We hold them close
Children from the dust
Safely home
You won't find me
In the drifting sky
Ohh, oh, oh
The drifting sky
Take your place
In the line to the doorway
It's your place
In the line through the door
You can find me
On the other side
Find me
Other side
You can find me
In the shifting sands
Ohh, oh, oh
The shifting sands
In the heart
Of all this confusion
There may be one
Who touched your life before
You can find me
On the other side
Find me
On the other side
You won't find me
On the battleground
Ohh, oh, oh
The battleground
Just one hour
Is sometimes like a lifetime
Stuck to the past
But there will come a day
When you can find me
On the other side
Find me
Trower-Dewar
When you are down
And the whole world seems to wear a frown
Open up your eyes
And pretty soon you'll realize it's for you and I
And the birds in the trees
Sing a song to the breeze
And the song says my love
It's for you
Baby it's for you
When you are lonely
And you need someone who can make you smile
Even if it's only
To light up you life for a little while
Make a wish on a star
And I'll be where you are
And you'll know that my love
Is for you
Honey it's for you
Make a wish on a star
And I'll be where you are
And you'll know that my love
Is for you
Honey it's for you
Make a wish on a star
And I'll be where you are
And you'll know that my love
Is for you
Baby it's for you
Wish, wish on a star
Honey, wish, wish on a star
Wish, wish on a star
And I'll be, I'll be where you are
Honey, honey wish, wish on a star
Wish, wish on a star
Honey, wish, wish on a star
If forever
is without you
let the rain fall from the skies
let the waters
close around me
keep the sunlight from my eyes
bitter harvest
far horizons
never see the sun
restless searching
leanin' on
searching for two lives to be as one
if forever
is without you
let the rain fall from the skies
let the waters
close around me
keep the sunlight from my eyes
changing seasons
indecision
tearin' us apart
as an island
no man stands
lonely days make a lonely heart
if forever
is without you
let the rain fall from the skies
let the waters
close around me
keep the sunlight from my eyes
Sweet Angel
Fold your wings on me tonight
Sweet Angel
Take me up on your next flight
When your move has got me floating,
I'll find Jupiter with Mars
Rise up as pure mortals,
Take me to the stars
Sweet Angel
Turn away this fate less tide
Sweet Angel
As other worlds go spinning by
You’re the reason why I'm falling
From the edge up to the sun
Soul, mind and body melting, into one
Yeah!
(guitar solo)
Sweet Angel, time to gather every prey
Sweet Angel, pursed from lips of Ruby Red
With the theme of great intention
I will play my part
Sweet Angel … take me to your heart!
I was lost in the desert
Outrun by my past
I cried and the God’s took pleasure
When I stumbled they laughed
Looked like my life was shattered
Pick it up let it fall
There was a time it mattered
Now I just don’t care at all
I woke up feeling desolate
Tried hard to understand
I asked her for some water
She filled my mouth with sand
Looked like my life was shattered
Pick it up let it fall
There was a time it mattered
Now I just don’t care at all
Shattered, Baby I’m shattered
Robin guitar solo
I was walking in my sleep
My hands and feet were tied
The night was in so deep
I could not tell she lied
Looked like my life was shattered
Pick it up let it fall
There was a time it mattered
Now I just don’t care at all
Shattered, Baby I’m shattered
Shattered, Baby I’m shattered
Caroline, Caroline
Let me take you home tonight
Make you mine, Caroline
Changing darkness into light
It’s a funny game we’re playing
You try to play it down when you see me low
You know what my eyes are saying
I believe you readin' me like a book
You give me your'a cool reception
You try to fool yourself but you won’t fool me
You give me such a cool reception
If I get a chance I can make you see
Will your kiss be like a miracle
When the words are left behind
Could a feeling be more lyrical
Than the dream that’s in my mind
Repeat Chorus then solo
Repeat Chorus ‘til fade
You've got your house, you've got your car
You live up on the hill among the stars
You say you did what you had to do
But was it really worth what they put you through
You know these things we believed in
It didn't touch you at all
I hate to see you like this baby
With your back to the wall
You lost your heart, when you lost your nerve
Maybe you lost your grip on that first curve
You used to talk about bein' free
Why, you're so tied up you can't even breathe
You know these things we believed in
They didn't touch you at all
I hate to see you like this baby
With your back to the wall
Money into money
Money into money
Money into money
Money into money
You're into money, into money
You're into money, money
Into money yeah, yeah
Into money
Into money, into money, into money yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Into money
Trower-Dewar
Moonlight and the night is still, before the dawn
The wind cries, it is time for you to be moving on
Some day you will make your way down to the shore
High tide and the sailor longs for the sea once more
Sail on down the days, time and tide stand still
Sail on, sail away, following the wind
Sail on down the days, time and tide stand still
Sail on, sail away, following the wind
Somebody calling
calling my name
somebody walking
over my grave
I was back in the arms of my baby
I would sleep in the arms of a dream
I would sit in a church for my baby
And I'm welcome, do you know what I mean?
Somebody sign
sign for me
somebody crying
for me
I was back in the arms of my baby
I would sit in the arms of a dream
I was test in the chance of my lady
And I'm welcome, do you know what I need?
