F.I.R. (traditional Chinese: 飛兒樂團; simplified Chinese: 飞儿乐团; pinyin: Fēiér Yuètuán) is a Taiwanese Mandopop pop rock band. The band currently consists of Faye Chan (lead vocals), Ian Chen (keyboards) and Real Huang (guitar, vocals). Producer Ian Chen formed his own band and recruited the other two members to form F.I.R. They are well known throughout Asia with their hit "Lydia", which was the theme song for the Taiwanese TV drama The Outsiders (鬥魚). The drama was aired in Taiwan without revealing the singer of the theme song. The song attracted many fans, which led to F.I.R.'s big success when they finally debuted in 2004. Since their debut, they have often been compared with the Japanese rock group, Do As Infinity, because of the similar music styles and formation of band members.[citation needed]
The name F.I.R. comes from the initials of the names of the three members: Faye, Ian, and Real. It is also a backronym for "Fairyland In Reality", one of their albums.
Sitting in a graveyard
Waiting for the dawn
Leaning on my tombstone
Till the night is gone
Oh how the moon
Hangs in black sky
Wish i could find out
The reason why
I sit here alone
And cry
My woman was so lovely
Together we were one
No sunshine in my weary eyes
Now that she has gone
Oh how the moon
Hangs in black sky
Wish I could find out
The reason why
I sit here alone
And cry
Palm trees whisper to me
From your spreading height
Tell me all the loney stories
Of the world at night
Oh how the moon
Hangs in black sky
Wish I could find out
The reason why
I sit here alone
Every single day, I got a heartache comin' my way
I don’t wanna say goodbye
Baby but look at the tears in my eye
I don’t wanna say goodbye
Mama but look at the way you made me cry
Every way that’s nice
You show you've got a heart that’s made of ice
and I know
Fire and water must have made you their daughter
You've got what it takes, to make a poor man’s heart break
A poor mans heart break
Baby you turn me on
But as quick as a flash your love is gone
Baby I’m gonna leave you now
But I’m gonna try to make you grieve somehow
Fire and water must have made you their daughter
You've got what it takes to make a poor man’s heart break
A poor man’s heart break
And my heart is breakin' too
(ahh yeah)
(alright)
I don’t wanna say goodbye baby
But look at the tears you made me cry
Every way that’s nice
You show you’ve got a heart that’s made of ice
And I know
Fire and water must have made you their daughter
You've got what it takes to make a poor mans heart break
Fire, fire and water must have made you their daughter
Baby you’ve got what it takes to make a poor man’s heart break
Heart break
Baby and my heart is breakin’
ohh my heart is breakin’
[Intro: Tweet]Ooh
Shook up, Shook up, Shook Up
Listen, it's something like dynamite
Oow!
[Verse 1: Tweet]This morning
(I Cried)
Had a good feeling
(Inside)
Exceptional emotion
(That's why)
I gave him my devotion
He turns the lights off and loves my body
Natural feelin', I can't describe it
What a relationship, so contagious
He gives me all I want, that's why I'm faded
Shook Up
[Hook: Tweet]How can I make it through the day?
In love with you
How am I supposed to do everything?
When I'm shook up, shook up, shook up
How can I make it through the day?
In love with you
How am I supposed to do everything?
Everything, you are my everything
[Verse 2: Tweet]Can't fight the feelin'
(Inside)
Lovin' what I'm seein'
(Your mine)
The way your touchin' my body, babe
(Feels right)
Don't stop makin' me fantasize
He turns the lights off and loves my body
Natural feeling, I can't describe it
What a relationship, so contagious
He gives me all I want, that's why I'm faded
Shook Up
[Hook: Tweet]How can I make it through the day?
In love with you
How am I supposed to do everything?
When I'm shook up, shook up, shook up

In love with you
How am I supposed to do everything?
Everything, you are my everything
[Rap: Free]Keep a G on stash
No, I don't mean cash
Let him know you gotta be so bad
Maintain ya protein like amino ac
Make ya boat fiend, show em' it's yo scene
Sex like heron, clothes is mo' fiend
Fa sure he approachin' the jokes that most dream
You ain't gotta do everything
You could keep him in pocket, have him goin' through change
He say he won't well be patient, he frontin'
(... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...)
Nice and stuntin' and thumpin', ya boy moanin' and gruntin',
And all the while ya laughin' now he say he won't
Turn the tables, keep em' spinnin' like spree's, please
Keep em' tamed, complain' you won't change
Emotionally, coast is me,
I'm a G.M., playa, no coachin' me
[Hook: Tweet]How can I make it through the day?
In love with you
How am I supposed to do everything?
When I'm shook up, shook up, shook up
How can I make it through the day?
In love with you
How am I supposed to do everything?
Everything, you are my everything
Sunday morning I rise
And I stand to face a new dawn
Sunday morning a new day is born
Such a long way to go
And so little time to get there
Such a long way to go
But I want you to remember
All the love we used to know
Think of me sometimes
My love.
Morning morning, sad day
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Morning morning, sad day
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
In the evening I sit
And my thoughts they turn to you
In the evening I think of my home
And I need you to remember
All the love we used to know
Think of me sometimes
My love
Morning morning, sad day
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Morning morning, sad day
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
I met her, just a barroom queen in Memphis
She tried to make me upstairs for a ride
She had to carry me right across her shoulder
'Cause I just can't seem to drink her off of my mind
She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme the honky tonk girl.
I met her either say in New York City
I had to put up a one heck of a fight
The lady said she'd covered me with roses
She broke my nose and then she broke my mind.
She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme the honky tonk girl.
--- Instrumental ---
She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme the honky tonk girl.
She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme the honky tonk girl.
She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Morning comes
And the evening follows
Life without you
Knows no tomorrow
You leave me weary
And you leave me tired
But you fill my soul
With strange desire
But I love you babe
Yes I love all of you
Ah! Ah! Ah!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Yeah.
Why don't you feel me
I'll watch your eyes
Gaze into space
Oh! let the sign of love
Go not on your face
You drain my strength
And you run me down
Mm..you got me crawlin'
Crawlin' on the ground
Oh but I love you babe
Oh yeah I love love love you babe
Ah! Ah! Ah!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Yeah.
I'm a soldier boy
standing on the battlefield
and I hear the bugle call
calling me to my destiny
all around me is people falling down.
I'm a soldier boy
standing on the battlefield
Oh! The sky is red overhead
burns my eyes like a fireball
all around me is people falling down.
I'm a soldier boy
standing on the battlefield.
Oh I Wept
For days
Filled my eyes
With silly tears
But I don't
Care no more
I don't care if
My eyes get sore.
I take my seat on the train
And let the sun come melt my pain
Come tomorrow I'll be far away
In the sunshine of another day.
A worried mind
Makes so hard to bear
Hard to live
And hard to care.
But I don't
Care no more
I don't care if
My eyes get sore.
Now I've left
It all behind
I did not care
To be so unkind.
I did not...
But the street
Is warm and bright
Far away
Verse1:
Young woman confused
Young woman abused
You must understand
It's never too late to, lose who you are
And choose who you are supposed to be
Supposed to become
You've been in and out
Up and down, back and forth
Backwards around
Not a friend, not a mother, not a father
Just God and you should make a choice
What you ought to do
What matters most
Who you are to you
Opinions of the old and young
Shouldn't matter to you
Take advice think it over twice
Make a choice that helps you sleep at night
It's decent, but recently
Things have shown us
We have done the wrong things often
Never suicide, that's the easy route
There's always another way out
Think about it (think about it)
Chorus (2x)
You can give up
Or you can get up
Just don't let what you need pass by
Spread your wings to the sky
Let you soul fall in love
You can fly
Verse 2:
Now see if you went through life with your eyes closed
You never would'a known there was a high road
Let people get the best of you and get mad at them
Instead of bein' mad at yourself
You're only number one in your life
And you will decide if it goes right
Every time you digress
Defeat your progress
Feed you knowledge, but you must digest
The controversy yo can get personal
They don't understand till the role reversal
Seekin' fame, play their games
Gave a whole lot for a whole little gain
Push comes to shove
Do you push or shove?
When the choice is yours
Do you leave or you love?
All the tears you cried, you're dyin' inside
When will you decide to survive
Chorus (2x)
You can give up
Or you can get up
Just don't let what you need pass by
Spread your wings to the sky
Let your soul fall in love
You can fly
(4 x)
You can give up
Or you can get up
Just don't let what you need pass by
Spread your wings to the sky
Let you soul fall in love
I work hard everyday
Come rain or shine
And I don't need no one
To tell me 'bout a girl of mine
She's got so much love
And she saves it all for me
I would not be lying
That's the way it's got to be
So Mr. Big
You'd better watch out
When only you hang around me
Oh for you now
I will dig
A great big hole in the ground.
I don't care who you are
So don't explain
Just get out of here
And don't come back again
I don't want a thing from you
I don't want to give you nothing too
Get out of here
Before I lose my cool.
Mr. Big
Oh watch out
Baby and don't you hang around me
Oh for you now
I will dig
A great big hole in the ground.
So Mr. Big
You'd better watch out
When only you hang around me
Oh for you now
I will dig

Opportunity baby, never knocks twice
If you are tryin' to fool me baby
Don't play around

Take all you things and move far away
Take all your furs and rings baby

Well my maker
must 've been a hard heartbreaker
I said my maker
must 've been a hard heartbreaker
I'll tell you why
I'm breaking my own heart
tryin'....to love a faker
Like a blind man
my little house is on fire
just like a blind man
my little house is on fire
I'm burning my own eyes out
tryin'....to reach the door
Well the sun is shining
but it sure don't seem to reach my heart
well the sun is shining
but it sure don't seem to reach my heart
I'm wasting my whole life
tryin'.....to make a new start
Make a new start
make a new start
make a new start
Help me to repair
Things I have done wrong
Help me to find a way
To get where I belong
All you can say
When you're feeling this way
Is that somebody needs you
And wants you to stay
And all you can do
When your something is through
Is take all your time
Don't let it get you blue
Help me to repair
Things I have done wrong
Help me to find a way
To get where I belong
There' too many people
In this whole emptiness
Trying to find
A little happiness I hope
Too many people
Just hiding their face
And I'm hiding my face
In this lonely lonely place
Help me to repair
Things I have done wrong
Help me to find a way
To get where I belong
If you need any help baby
To maybe open your mind
Just give me a call
And I'll be right there on time
Just give me one reason
To stand in your light
And I would stand in your light
Till my night is right
Help me to repair
Things I have done wrong
Help me to find a way
To get where I belong
Oh! To get where I belong
Gonna get where I belong
Watch my hand
Writing this last letter
Watch my hand
Knowing I won't forget her
No I won't forget her
Take my things
Every thing is over
All my things
Leave behind my love
Leave behind my love
La la la
La la la
La la la
Now lighing a cigarette
Now knowing I will regret
The way our love had to end
In her room
Standing alone
All alone
Soon I will be gone
Soon I will
Soon I will
Soon I will be gone
Soon I will
Soon I will
It's like a soft caressing sea
Or making love in harmony
Or the centre of a starry galaxy
It's like the richness that's inside
The one I'm trying to describe
Or the living water stretching far and wide
Searching for a shadow in the morning sun
Playing with your woman when there's work to be done
People, won't you listen when I tell the truth
I give her all my sugar, she's got such a sweet tooth yeah yeah
It's like a sound that rests my soul
Or like a part that's now a whole
Or as something that is burning bright as gold
I want her near me everyday
Then I want to hear her say
There is somthing here between us as we lay
Searching for a shadow in the morning sun
Playing with your woman when there's work to be done
People, won't you listen when I tell the truth
Baby won't you tell me
What you're tryin' to do
You don't mean to say
That our love is through
Because I love you
Yes I do
And I've go to see it through
I lives on the moutain
A hundred mile from town
That's a long way to go
Baby now
But soon I'm gonna be around
Because I love you
Yes I do
And I've got to see it through
Baby now
I'm gonna steal you baby away with me
I want to love you
Because you see
I am riding on a pony
In the middle of the night
I'm gonna be there in the morning
And I hope that it's all right
Sometimes when I am loney
I think about your face, baby
So I get on my pony
And I ride over your place
Because I love you
Yes I do
And I've go to see it through
I wanna take you, far away
I wanna love you, no matter what you say
Because I am riding on a pony
In the middle of the night
I'm gonna be there in the morning
And I hope that it's all right.
I am riding on a pony
In the middle of the night
I'm gonna be there in the morning
And I hope that it's all right.
I am riding on a pony
In the middle of the night
I'm gonna be there in the morning
She talks to me of wisdom
We walk beside the sun
Rainy night and rainy day
Might as well keep away
I've got trouble on the run
Weariness
Weariness has left my friend
My head goes round
And round again
On my way and I might be late
I don't worry
Every thing can wait
She talks to me of feelin'
Feelin' good
And feelin' better
Once upon a time I thought
I could love around and not get caught
But then I'd never met her
Weariness, weariness has left my friend
Head goes 'round
And 'round again
I'm on my way
Oooh, And I might be late
I don't worry every thing can wait
Do you mean
What you say ? Do You mean
When You say you'll be mine ?
I want you to be mine
All mine
Weariness
Weariness has left my friend
Head goes 'round
And 'round again
On my way and I know I may be late
I don't worry
Every thing can wait
Every thing can wait
Everything Cruel can wait
She was a wild Indian woman and she drove me wild
She was a wild Indian woman till she had my child
You don't need your horses baby, you got me to ride
You don't need your feathers, I'll keep you warm inside
She's got dark brown eyes and long long black hair
She's got a peaceful side but I just don't know where
She used to sleep on the prairie with the stars above
She used to hunt in the woods till I caught her love
You don't need your horses baby, you got me to ride
You don't need your feathers, I'll keep you warm inside
She's got dark brown eyes and long long black hair
Throw down your hat, kick off your shoes
I know you ain't goin' anywhere
Run 'round the town singin' your blues
I know you ain't goin' anywhere.
You've always been a good friend of mine,
But you're always sayin' "Farewell"
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well.
Throw down your gun, you might shoot yourself...
Or is that what you're tryin' to do?
Put up a fight you believe to be right
And someday the sun will shine through.
You've always got something to hide
Something you just can't tell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well.
And I know what you're wishing for
Time in a peaceful world
Time in a peaceful world
Time in a peaceful world
Time in a peaceful world
You've always been a good friend of mine,
But you're always sayin' "Farewell"
And the only time that you're satisfied
If you see me flyin', all across the sky
There I go, I'm a flyin' high
Six white horses, a chariot made of gold
Seven lovely angels abide my soul
I've got the moon on my right, the sun on my left
The world is behind me, only one way to go
That's straight ahead
That's where I'm going now
Well, I've just stepped out, out of my grave
There I go, I ain't no slave
In my right hand is the sword of truth
In my left hand is the fire of love
I call to the land, I call to the sea
I call to the sky
Lord have mercy
Won't you hear me?
As I look behind me, what do I see
A pair of golden wings
That seemed to be attached to me
Wings on my back, wings on my back
I've got to fly away, I've got to fly away
You know I just can't wait till tomorrow
I've got to fly my way
I've got to fly away, I've got to fly away
I was born on the muddy water
I didn't know right from wrong
My mom she said look here son
I'll show you how it's done
Take you a woman and treat her right
She'll be by your side night and day
The first time you deceive her
You've broken her spell
Then I had bad luck
Like a fool I fell where I stood
I was walking in the rain with my shoes untied
Tryin' to find a dry place to hide
To hide.
But I'd rather sleep that say a word
I don't believe a word that's heard
The first time I deceived you
I held it inside
Take you a woman and treat her right
She'll be by your side night and day
The first time you deceive her
You've broken her spell
Then I had bad luck
I held it inside
Like a fool I smiled on my pride
I was walking in the rain with my shoes untied
Tryin' to find a dry place to hide
To hide.
I was walking in the rain with my shoes untied
Tryin' to find a dry place to hide
To hide.
I'm layin' in the sunshine
Just outside my door
Dreamin' of the work I should do
Just layin' on the floor
Fences need repairing
And money to be earned
But I'd rather sit right here
And think about the world
So let me lie in the sun
Let me dream all alone
Let my worries fly away
I am happy here so let me stay
If you could only feel the same
Your world would be a peaceful place
So let us lie in the sun
Let us dream all alone
Let our worries fly away
So happy here
So let me stay
If you could only feel the same
Lover, lover on the line.
Call me, call me anytime
Tell me what I like to hear
Make me feel like you are near
On the phone you make me sweat
You make my body oh so wet
Tell me what is on your mind
'Cause you're my lover on the line
Lover on the line.
You want see me but you're blind
Try to touch me, touch me with your mind
Love me on the line.
For this unit you are mine
I'm your lover, lover on the line
If you tell me all your dreams
I'll satisfy your needs (Talk to me, just talk to me)
If you keep on holding the line
I'll tell you all my dreams (Talk to me, just talk to me)
I can see you in my mind
I can hear you bump and grind
Girl I like the way you moan
When you're on your telephone
Don't be afraid now, don't be shy
You can feel me if you try.
I can have you anytime
'Cause you're my lover on the line
With the satellites and through the space
I talk to you, a voice without a face
With the satellites and through the space
I'm the ............. you love and you embrace
- Hello... Hello.... Talk to me... You're me lover on the line
With the satellites and through the space
And by the way before you go
I'd like to say
I love you so
If it's goodbye maybe for good
I will not cry
Maybe I should
And I
I love you so
Oh how this year has slipped away
We she'd no tears
So why today
And all this time has made me feel
Love is no crime
And love is real
And I
Ooh! and I love you so
And I ooh I love you so
Remember me when you're far away
I'll remember you
No matter where I stay
And by the way before you go

And all this time has made me feel
Love is no crime and love is real
Maybe I should
And I

I got to say
was born by the river, just like this river,
I've been moving ever since
Ain't got no body to call my own you know
I've been moving since the day I was born
Life is a game just made for fun, I don't need no body
No, I don't love no one
Yes, I'm a mover baby
Now get out of my way will ya?
Don't try to stop me now
Following the footpath one fine day,
When I asked a wise man which was the way,
He said "follow you heart and look for yourself,
And come back and tell me what you have learned".
Yes, I'm a mover.
Went back and told him I'd found me a wife,
Eleven children and a real good life,
Told him I'd left this happy home,
'cause I need to return to the long winding road
Just a young man
By an old road
By the route he choose.
An ancient song
In an old tongue
For this man was sung.
Oh I'm carrying a heavy load
Can't go no further down this long road
It's a heavy load...
By a bright stream
Came an old dream
Things are never what they always seem
And so he went on
Travelling on
Now he's a long way from home
Oh I'm carrying a heavy load
Can't go no further down this long road
It's a heavy load...
Oh I'm carrying a heavy load
Can't go no further down this long road
Oh I'm carrying a heavy load
Can't go no further down this long road
Oh I'm carrying a heavy load
Can't go no further down this long road
Oh I'm carrying a heavy load
Whoa, whoa, whoa, ow!
There she stood in the street
Smiling from her head to her feet
I said hey what is this
Now baby maybe, maybe she's in need of a kiss
I said a hey what's your name baby
Maybe we can see things the same.
Now don't you wait or hesitate
Let's move before they raise the parking rate, ow!
All right now, baby it's-a all right now
All right now, baby it's-a all right now, ooo...
Let me tell you now
I took her home to my place
Watchin' every move on her face
She said look what's your game baby
Are you trying to put me in shame
I said slow, don't go so fast

Goodbye, is this how it's got to end?
But we've come to the end of our road together
Made a stand that's gonna last forever
Brother tell me, what you're gonna do?
Will you take the high road?
Will you take the low road?
Will you take the fast train out of town
To get back home?
Will you take the high road?
Will you take the low road?
Oh brother

Will you take the fast train out of town
To get back home?

Oh brother
Now that you're out on your own
We learned a lot from each other
That's how we came to be brothers
Brother won't you tell me what your problem is
Oh and don't waste your time on hate
Can be used in better ways
Remember the time and better days
Goodbye, I hope we meet again
But the good times will always remain
But we've come to the end of our road together
We made a stand that's gonna last forever
Brother tell me what you're gonna do

Yes I've had my fun, baby
If I don't get well no more
You see I have this pain in me
An I'm goin down slow
Won't somebody write my mother
Tell her the shape I'm in
Please write my mother
Tell her to pray for me
Tell her to forgive my sin
Tell her don't send no doctor
Yes a doctor can do me no good
Yes no doctor mama

Oh, sunny day
Melting away
Oh sunny day
Melting away
Some say she was good for no one
But I say
She was bad for every one
Help me now' cause I feel
I'm fallin'
Maybe somehow
You will hear me callin'
Baby you didn't take everything
If you want it
You know I would bring
All the love you left behind
When you said goodbye.
Oh sunny day
Melting away
Oh sunny day
Melting away
Inside she was really nothing
I was a fool and I gave her everything
Help me now
'Cause I feel I'm fallin'
Maybe somehow you will hear me callin'
Baby you didn't mean what you said
Things that you told me
Are still in my head
And though it's too late
I realise all you did was lie.
Oh sunny day
Melting away
Oh sunny day

They call me the hunter
'cause that's my name
pretty little woman like you
is my only game
I bought me a love gun
just the other day
and I aim to aim it your way
ain't no use to hide
ain't no use to run
'cause I got you in the sight
of my girly gun
The first time I saw you
standing on the street
I said to myself
Oh! ain't she sweet
I got my love gun loaded
with hundreds of kisses
soon as I pull the trigger baby
there will be no misses
Ain't no use to hide
ain't no use to run
'cause I got you in the sight
of my girly gun
Ain't no use to hide
ain't no use to run
'cause I got you in the sight
of my girly gun
The first time I saw you
standing on the street
I said to myself
Oh! ain't she sweet
I got my love gun loaded
with hundreds of kisses
soon as I pull the trigger baby
there will be no misses
Ain't no use to hide
ain't no use to run
'cause I got you in the sight
So we started in the cornfield
And I know we did not slack
We got everything in order
But we forgot to bring the bucket back
The foreman he went crazy
And ran around the field
Said we must be lazy
Had to be seen to be believed
Seen to be believed.
But it was a long way
From this highroad
It was a far away from here.
The farmer had a daughter
And she worked at the wishing well
Put one leg in the water
'til she found the mission bell
The old man went crazy
And ran to get his gun
We had a bad time explaining
We were just having drunken fun
Just having drunken fun.
But it was a long way
From this high road, Oh!
It was a long way from here
So we walked along this road
Just tellin' stories as we go
We just walk along.
Well the farmer had a daughter
And she did not speak a word
We used to kiss her in the orchard
Till one morning we were overheard
The old man he went crazy
Running around the field
Said we must be crazy
Had to be seen to be believed
I went down to the centre of town
And my feet was a burning ground
She stood on the corner merrily as can be
I said hey good lookin won't you come with me
She said yeah
I am the stealer
Came to steal your love
The sun was shining
The world was right
I said "tell me baby wha'cha doin' tonight"
I'm goin' round the corner
Where the music's loud
I'm tired of the city
Won't you come on round
I said yeah!
I'm the stealer
Come to steal your love
Steal your love oh yeah!
Goin' round the corner
Where the music's loud
I'm tired of the city
Won't you come on round
I said yeah
I am the stealer
Come to steal your love
Steal your love
Steal your love
Steal your love
I am going to steal you love away
I am going to steal you love away
Over the green hills and into the sun
That's where I feel I ought to be goin'
Blue sky above me and green earth below
Don't even matter which way I go Yeah!
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
The trees hold their arms out to catch what life gives
But the people try to snatch all there is
They can have all I own. I don't need anything,
I'll just follow the river, and see what it brings.
Ah ah ah ah ah.
Do you remember
Every morning
We would dress
And we'd be still yawning,
In the street
Where people meet
We would wander around
In the northen heat.
All these days are gone
My Baby, now I'm all alone
I wish I had you near me
Baby, I wish I had you here
In the summer
Days were lazy
And sometimes the heat
Would drive us all crazy
Singing songs all night long
Till the light thru' the window
Said another day had come
All these days are gone
Baby, now I'm all alone
I wish I had you near me
I wish I had you here.
Baby, do you remember
Every morning
We would dress
And we'd be still yawning,
In the street
Where people meet
We would wander around
In the northen heat.
Baby, oh these days are gone
And I'm all alone
I still remember
The good old days we spent together
Baby I can't forget
You know me
I can't forget
AH ah ah ah ah
AH ah ah ah ah
I need to be free where the air is clean
And the sparking river is cool on my skin
When the sun shines I'll follow it's glow
And I won't stop moving till it's sinking low
If it's the cold black night
That's eating up your heart
The cold damp sweat
Keep you and sleep apart
The ticking clock
Just watching on the table
The wind that howls
As much as it is able
Then worry baby worry
There's a reason for you to
There's a silent, deadly message
In the wind that's meant for you
And the sleeping streets
Have closed their tired eyes
The fear that creeps
Will move & slowly rise
Your beating heart
Will hammer at your breast
Your aching brain
Will cry aloud for rest
Worry baby worry
There's a reason for you to
There's a silent, deadly message
In the wind that's meant for you
Worry baby worry
There's a reason for you to
There's a silent, deadly message
Well the train I ride
Is leaving the station
And the train I ride
To my destination
I was walking
Now I'm travelin' in style
I was walking
Now I've got me a ride
Well I got no need
For no company
Got my blues guitar
That's all I need
I ain't walking
Now I'm travelin' in style
I aint walking
Now I've got me a ride
Think I've come to
The end of my song
If you feel you want to
Why don't you sing along
I ain't walking
Now I'm travelin' in style
I aint walking
Now I've got me a ride
I ain't walking
Now I'm travelin' in style
I aint walking
Now I've got me a ride
I ain't walking
Now I'm travelin' in style
I aint walking
Sleep now my little baby
Safe inside your mama
You have no name
But soon you will
And soon the sun will shine
Guardian of the Universe
Son of son
Shine a light of peace and love
On this little one
On this little one
Slowly comes the day
You will see, hear, touch and feel
Slowly comes the day
You will know
What kind of world this is

Far away from the love you give
So generously, so generously.

I've always been a believer
In the good things of life
But they don't all come wrapped in cellophane
And they don't always seem to turn out right
They don't always seen to turn out right
I've always been a believer
In the good things of life
But they don't all come wrapped in cellophane
And they don't always seem to turn out right
No, no, no,
They don't always seen to turn out right
Sometimes they do not
My brother Jake, hat, shades, head in a daze
My brother Jake, have you thought about changin' your ways?
He goes out, he don't have no doubt
He don't have to know what the world's about
My brother Jake, head, down, it's a scrapin' the ground
Jake, stay away, you know you can't always be down
He goes out, he don't have no doubt
He don't have to know what the world's about
I said Jake, now won't you wait
What's got into you
Your candle is burning, the wheels are turning
What you gonna do?
My brother Jake, won't you start again try makin' some friends
Jake, it's not too late to start again by making amends
He goes out, he don't have no doubt
He don't have to know what the world's about
I said Jake, now won't you wait
What's gone wrong with you
Your candle is burning, the wheels are turning
What you gonna do?
Hey, I said Jake, don't you wait
What's gone wrong with you?
Your candle is burning, the wheels of time are turning
What you gonna do? Yeah

What's got into you - oh
Your candle is burning, the wheels of time are turning
What you gonna do?
Listen, I'm gonna break you Jake
Because you got what it takes
Sing me a sad song
And I'll be right on my way
A sad song like the songs of yesterday
Well my father used to sing the blues
Sometimes it was good
But my mother never saw the use
And she chased him for his blood
A sad song like the songs of yesterday
A sad song
And I'll be right on my way
Oh you know my father
Always used to say
A bad workman blames his tools
But it seems to me
A man who uses the tools
Is just a fool
Sad song
And I'll be right on my way
Sad song
Like the songs of yesterday
Well now the streets are filled with silent cars
And all the world's a stage
But I must get to work today
Today I get my wage
Sad song
Then I'll get on
On my way
Just like a song of yesterday
Over there is my magic ship
Would you care to go on a trip
We'll be sailing on and on
To a land where few have gone
Beyond the skies in my mind
Sweet bells ring and ring and ring you harmonies
Rolling out like the waves on the sea
Sweet bells ring and ring and ring your harmonies
Rolling out to those who can see
Let's away to a distant night
Let's away on a magic flight
We'll be sailing on and on
To a land where few have gone
Beyond the skies in my mind
Sweet bells ring and ring and ring you harmonies
Rolling out like the waves on the sea
Sweet Bells ring and ring and ring your harmonies
Calling out to those who can hear
Oh who can see
Because were sailing
Sweet bells ring and ring and ring you harmonies
Rolling out like the waves on the sea
Sweet Bells ring and ring and ring and ring your harmonies
Rolling out to those who can hear
Oh can you see
Inside
Don't be afraid,
Step aboard
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
You say you needed someone
But you just needed somewhere to stay
Oh any other time
Any other time
I'd have told you to be right on your way
You say you needed a friend
But you just needed sympathy
Oh any other time
Any other time
I'd have told you just to let me be
But I was so alone
So alone.
Don't say you love me baby
Don't say you love me
Don't say you love me
'cause I know it would be just a lie.
I lost the warmth in my life
And you came and helped me up
When I was down
Oh any other time
Any other time
I'd have let you carry on
Fooling around
I let you into my home
And I even let you into my heart
Oh but any other time
Any other time
I'd have let you carry on
From the very start
But I was so sad and blue
And I just didn't know what to do
Don't say you love me baby
Don't say you love me
Don't say you love me
'cause I know it would be just a lie.
Time
Has told me what I need to know
Time
Has showed me now what love is for
Time
Keeps telling me that I have got to go
Yeah I needed someone
But that time's gone
Now baby I'm gonna try and do it
All on my own.
So don't say you love me
Don't say you love me
Don't say you love me
'cause I know it would be just a lie.
Don't say you love me baby
Don't say you love me
Oh don't say that you love me
'cause I know it would be just a lie
I don't want you to tell me that you love me
Because I know, because I know
Yeah I know, yes I know
Oh...yes..
Some say love is
some say what is love
some say is love
really all around
Some say life is
some say what is life
some say is life
really all around me
but I say easy
easy on my soul
but I say easy
easy on my soul
Some say love is
some say what is love
some say is love
really all around
I want to tell you my story
I want to tell you I'm sorry
easy on my soul...
