Whether she'll come, I could not say
We made the date just the other day
Well, here she comes
All dressed in white
She looks so nice
She'll last the night
In love
Perhaps it will last until dawn
In love
Or untill that we two are one
In love
Oh, I'm old and she is so young
In love, in love, in love
I asked her if she'd come out again
She said she likes such mature men
Yes, she did
She says that I'm so nice and strong
I'm getting through, it won't be long
In love
With her hands caressing my face
In love
I'm so glad I've got my own place
In love
She must be of very bad taste
In love, in love, in love
There must come a time
Even for me
But all this happens so suddenly
So quick
It's very hard for me to say
But can this be the only way
In love
I can't think of anyone who
In love
Could make me feel like I do
In love
We'll start our lives anew
In love, in love, in love
In love ...

I don't mind talking, girl
But there's a time and place
Right now we're alone, yeah
But it's just gone to waste
Look up and see the moon
Slide down the clouds
The radio is playing softly now
So if you talk above a wisdom
It's too loud
What about the music, babe
What about the moon
It's a shame if we talk music
We'll be leaving soon
You keep on talking, girl
We can talk on the phone
We should be kissing, babe
Now that we're alone
Though when they're singing
Love songs to the moon
You know it's love
That makes the flowers bloom
But you keep saying things you
Could tell me in a crowded room
What about the music, yeah
What about the moon, babe
It's a shame if we talk music
We'll be leaving soon
What about the music
Sweet soul music
What about the moon
Hey, what about the moon, babe
We are loving and I can't lose it
We'll be leaving soon
What about the music, yeah
What about the moon
I said it's a shame if we talk music
We'll be leaving soon
What about the music, yeah
What about the moon
It's a shame if we talk music
We'll be leaving soon
What about the music, yeah
What about the moon
It's a shame if we talk music
We'll be leaving soon
What about the music
What about the moon
It's a shame if we talk music
We'll be leaving soon

I was only seventeen
I fell in love with a gypsy queen
She told me: "Hold on"
Her father was the leading man
Said: "You're not welcome on our land"
And then as a foe, he told me to go
He took me to a little shack
And put a whip across my back
Then told her: "Leave me"
I was out for quite a time
Came back with her on my mind
Sweet little girl
She means all the world
Oh, I want my qypsy queen
Will she still be torn between
Her father and lover
One day I will go to him
Strong enough to fight and win
The kind of a man
That he'll understand
. . .

Daddy, daddy, come and look
See what I have found
A little ways away from here
While digging in the ground
Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
It's nothing, just a picture-book
They had before the war
Daddy, daddy, come and see
Daddy, come and look
Why, there's four or five
Little Melinda girls
Inside my picture book
Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
There were lots of little girls like you
Before they had the war
LyricsOh Daddy, daddy, come and see
Daddy, hurry do
Why, there's someone
In a pretty dress
She's all grown up like you
Won't you tell me why
Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
That someone is your Mummy
You had before the war
Daddy, daddy, tell me if you can
Why can't things be
The way they were
Before the war began
Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
The answer lies in yesterday
Before they had the war
. . .

Grinning demons, smiling sideways
Laughing in my face
Here within my troubled sleep
There’s such a lonely place
Running fast but never moving
I can’t get away
Strange but realistic objects
Making me their prey
Then it’s gone as fast as it came
Evil dream
Changing like the sun turn to rain
It would seem
La la la la la ...
Dining with the gods of beauty
On a distant shore
Tasting fruits of untold sweetness
Never seen before
Dancing stars with crystal voices
LyricsBeckon with their eyes
Unicorn of many colours
Rides to paradise
Then it’s gone as fast as it came
Peaceful scene
Changing like the sun turns to rain
It would seem
La la la la la ...
Sleepless nights that last a lifetime
Crucify my head
Dreams of peace and then disaster
Wish that I were dead
Looking for the end of darkness
Seeking out the day
For escape with speed unthought of
Bearing me away
Then it’s gone as fast as it came
Peaceful scene
Changing like the sun turns to rain
It would seem
La la la la la ...
Come into my dream
. . .

With my head held low
I know the reason I'm dreaming
It's really been fun
But where is there left to go
Save to give my life a new meaning
And if by chance
You'd come my way
I'll have to say
Here am I, give me love
Here am I, give me love
How was I to know
Your heart was unsatisfied
When you never troubled to tell me
No wish that you made to me
Ever was denied
I played it just the way
That it should be
But then you turned
And walked away
I have to say
Here am I, give me love
Here am I, give me love
Here am I, give me love
I imagine I must sit here
Till the winter comes
And just watch the days
Growing shorter
To gather in dust won't go
Till my thinking's done
And I walk from this troubled water
By then my need won't be so bad
And I'll gladly say
Here am I, give me love
Here am I, give me love ...

Let me see the sunshine
Let me feel the rain
Let me go where I wanna go
I wanna smell the flowers
See the dawn again
Find those friends I used to know
Well, I spent twenty long years
In a dirty old prison cell
I never saw the light of day
If you could understand
Oh, that kind of living hell
That's the price I have to pay
That's the price I have to pay
They say I killed a man
But I never told them why
So you can guess
What I've been through
So for twenty long years
I've been thinking of that other guy
LyricsAnd what I saw him do to you
What I saw him do to you
Listen here
So if tomorrow comes
And I walk outside that door
Try to understand the strain
But if you smile that smile
I know I couldn't ask for more
I know I'd do it all again
Yes, I would
I know I'd do it all again

She came to me one morning
One lonely Sunday morning
Her long hair flowing
In the midwinter wind
I know not how she found me
For in darkness I was walking
And destruction lay around me
From a fight I could not win
Ah ah ah ...
She asked me name my foe then
I said the need within some men
To fight and kill their brothers
Without thought of love or God
And I begged her give me horses
To trample down my enemies
So eager was my passion
To devour this waste of life
Ah ah ah ...
But she wouldn't think of battle that
LyricsReduces men to animals
So easy to begin
And yet impossible to end
For she's the mother of all men
Who counselled me so wisely then
I feared to walk alone again
And asked if she would stay
Ah ah ah ...
Oh lady lend your hand outright
And let me rest here at your side
Have faith and trust
In peace she said
And filled my heart with life
There is no strength in numbers
Have no such misconception
But when you need me
Be assured I won't be far away
Ah ah ah ...
Thus having spoke she turned away
And though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until I saw
Her black coat disappear
My labour is no easier
But now I know I'm not alone
I find new heart each time
I think upon that windy day
And if one day she comes to you
Drink deeply from her words so wise
Take courage from her
As your prize
And say hello from me
Ah ah ah ...
. . .

There I was on a July morning
Looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun
At the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
And a road of my own
With the day came the resolution
I'll be looking for you
La la la la ...
I was looking for love
In the strangest places
Wasn't a stone
That I left unturned
LyricsMust have tried more
Than a thousand faces
But not one was aware
Of the fire that burned
In my heart, in my mind, in my soul
La la la la ...
There I was on a July morning
I was looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun
And at the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
Yeah, and a road of my own
. . .

I see you running
Don't know what
You're running from
Nobody's coming
What'd you do that was so wrong
Look back and turn back
Look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just
Look at yourself
If you need assistance
Or if all you need is love
There's no point in hiding
Tell me what you’re frightened of
You've got a friend, just
Look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just
Look at yourself
. . .

I feel you trying
Though in my heart I know you're lying
And though your love for me is dying
I see you crying
It's the pain of your secret heart
Bringing you to tears
Filling you with fears
For your mind and for your soul
I touch you softly now
Borne on by hope until the end somehow
I am a man and I must keep my vow
I must go on
But the wall of your secret heart
Keeps my distance clear
Helps my footsteps fall
Back in line inside my mind
What's the use you turned me loose
And left me here to cry
Where's the love we talked about
Where's my sunny sky
Secret hearts and sorry tales
Will never help love grow
Spread your wings my daunted soul
The time has come to go
I will not be hurried down
Or blackened by your lies
I must go and find my dream
And live in paradise
(Repeat and fade)
What do you think I am? Do you think I'm dreamin'?
Don't you know I know what it is you're schemin'?
Who'd ya think gave you the right,
hidden by the dead of night,
to take the world and turn it upside down,
when it should be round?
It seems I made it just in time
to use my reason and my rhyme
to save us from the evils of your mind.
I will cast the spell, be sure I cast it well.
I will light a fire, kindled with desire.
I'll fill you with fear so you'll know I'm here
and I won't be treated like a fool.
's no good you pretending, there'll be no happy ending.
I'm alive and darkness is my tool.
But when the night is over,
and daytime steals your cover,
the goodness of the morning sun
will wear away what you have done
and leave you cold.
I have no need for moonlight.
You're wrong to trust in sunlight.
For I exist, not just in storms,
but in life itself, in so many forms
to leave you cold.
I will leave you now, but you wont defeat me.
You had best beware when you come to meet me.
Love and truth will follow me,
an army of reality,
brought from every corner of the world.
You will never break the spell.
I summon all the fires of hell
and this is my advice for all it's worth:
Let us not begin
This fight we cannot win.
Be sure you're watching me.
Cause all through your life,
every day and every night
You should know that I'll be watching you!!
. . .

He was the wizard
Of a thousand kings
And I chanced to meet him
One night wandering
He told me tales
And he drank my wine
Me and my magic man
Kinda feeling fine
He had a cloak of gold
And eyes of fire
And as he spoke
I felt a deep desire
To free the world
Of its fear and pain
And help the people
To feel free again
Why don't we listen to
The voices in our hearts
‘Cause then I know we'd find
LyricsWe're not so far apart
Everybody's got to be happy
Everyone should sing
For we know the joy of life
The peace that love can bring
So spoke the wizard
In his mountain home
The vision of his wisdom
Means we'll never be alone
And I will dream of my magic night
And a million silver stars
That guide me with their light
. . .

Every day I have to look to the sun
To see where it was that
I have come from
I have a feeling that
There must be a time
When I'll get a chance to go home
'Cause I'm so tired
Of being here alone
But I’m just a traveller in time
Trying so hard to pay for my crime
If I could go back
The same way I got here
And see the people that
I once held so near
I'd do my best to
Find an answer for you
But first I must wait till I'm set free
And I don't know
How long that's gonna be
'Cause I'm a man with
A whole lot on his mind
Just out there somewhere
Travelling in time
Travelling in time
I've tried for so long to find
Some way of helping mankind
. . .

This is a thing I have
Never known before
It's called easy livin'
This is a place I've
Never seen before
And I've been forgiven
Easy livin’ and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken
Your place in my heart
Somewhere along the lonely road
I had tried to find you
Day after day on that windy road
I had walked behind you
Easy livin’ and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken
Your place in my heart
Waiting, watching
Wishing my whole life away
Dreaming, thinking
Ready for my happy day
And some easy livin'
. . .

There rides the rainbow demon
On his horse of crimson fire
Black shadows are following closely
On the heels of his desire
Ridin' on in the mist of morning
No one dared to stand in his way
Possessed by some distant calling
Riding on through night and day
Rainbow demon
Pick up your heart and run
Rainbow demon
Lives for his sword and his gun
. . .

Stand up and fight
Or you'll lose your right
Do you wanna stand in a line
Fightin' hard to hold on to your mind
Seek and you'll find
Proud words on a dusty shelf
Find and you'll seek
Just keep on helpin' yourself
When the wind of trouble comes
Put away your battledrums
And stand up and fight
Stand up and fight
Don't stand in a line
Hold on to your mind
Seek and you'll find
Proud words on a dusty shelf
Find and you'll seek
Keep on keepin' on helpin' yourself
Stand up and fight ...

Sunrise
And the new day's breakin' through
The morning
Of another day without you
And as the hours roll by
No-one’s there to see me cry
Except the sunrise
The sunrise and you
Tired eyes drift across the shore
Looking for love and nothing more
But as the sea rolls by
No-one's there to see me cry
Excep the sunrise
The sunrise and you
Sunrise
Bless my eyes
Catch my soul
Make me whole again
Sunrise, new day
Hear my song
I'm tired of fightin'
And foolin' around
But from now on
Till who knows when
My sword will be my pen
And I'll love you, love you
For all of my time
. . .

It's raining outside
But that's not unusual
But the way that I'm feeling
Is becoming usual
I guess you could say
The clouds are moving away
Away from your days
And into mine
Now it's raining inside
It’s kind of a shame
And it's getting to me
A happy man
Why should you want to
Waste all my time
The world is yours
But I am mine
Rain, rain, rain in my tears
Measuring carefully my years
Shame, shame, shame in my mind
See what you've done to my life
See what you’ve done to my life
. . .

In the magic garden
Some were singing
Some were dancing
While the midnight moon
Shone brightly overhead
The stars so gaily glistened
And the sphinx in silence listened to
The magician tell of
Lives that he had led
Let the bells of freedom ring
Songs of love to Friday's king
Let's all go to
The magician's birthday
It's in a forest
But not so far away
Much to do
And so much to say
While we listened to
LyricsThe orchid orchestra play
Happy Birthay to you ...
Happy Birthday to magician
Happy Birthday to you ...
Then at the dead of midnight
As we watched the dancing firelight
The air grew cold
And seemed to dull the flame
The fire died
The music faded
Filled with fear of death we waited
For now we knew
Some evil was to blame
I challenge you
I challenge you all
For all you own
And all you know
And by all the powers of darkness
I will steal what is mine
Surrender now or face my spite
I grant you it may be Friday night
But did you know this day
Also numbers thirteen
First I'll give you fire
I turn your fire into a sleepy stream
Yes, now I give you nightmares
From your horror I'll create a dream
You cannot fight me
For I have the sword of hate
But one thing you can't see
My answer is simply
An impenetrable fortress
Of love ... love ... love ...
The fear went as quickly as it came
The air was clear
The fire burned again
The flames leapt
The organ played
The swans sang
To greet the day
And then we knew that
Love will find love will find love ..
. . .

Circle of hands
Cold spirits plan
Searching my land
For an enemy
Came across
Love's sweet cost
And in the face of beauty
Evil was lost
Sky full of eyes
Minds full of lies
Black from their cold hearts
Down to their graves
Murdered the dawn
Spreading their scorn
Cursing the sun
Of which love was born
We must keep them away
Or pretty soon we'll pay
And count the cost in sorrow
Sacrifice - the future has it's price
And today is only
Yesterday's tomorrow
Tomorrow ...

Take me across the water
‘Cause I need some place to hide
I done the rancher’s daughter
And I sure did hurt his pride
Well, there's a
Hundred miles of desert
Lies between his hide and mine
I don't need no food
And no water, Lord
‘Cos I'm running out of time
Fightin', killin', wine and women
Gonna put me to my grave
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin'
Nothing left to save but my life
Stood on a ridge
And shunned religion
Thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake
LyricsStealin', when I
Should've been buyin'
All that fightin', killin'
Wine and those women
Gonna put me to an early grave
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin'
Nothing left to save but my life, life...
So I stood on a ridge
And shunned religion
Thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake
Stealin', when I
Should've been buyin'
I was stealin’
When I should’ve been buyin’
I was stealin’
When I should’ve been buyin’
Stealin’, when I
Should’ve been buyin’ ..
I was stealin’ ...

As you look around you
Do you like what you see?
Though it sometimes
Makes you lonely
Do you like being free?
And are you sure you'll be okay
Without my company?
I just want you to be happy
Even if it's not with me
Sweet sweet freedom
Sweet sweet sweet
Will the line between all this
And my love ever meet
Sweet sweet Freedom
Sweet sweet sweet
What I'm really tryin' to say
Is that I will be around
Should you find that after all
You can't get by
LyricsWith what you found
Oh, it wasn't just my heart you took
And gently tossed into the sea
Though it's hard to find
The words I need -
I guess it was me
Will the line between all this
And my love ever gonna meet
Sweet sweet Freedom
Sweet sweet sweet
Oh sweet, oh sweet sweet freedom
So sweet, so sweet

Dream in a lonely room
Fly on a star
Think of the forcing time
Then know where you are
Fear is the strongest force
Love, love is the key
Where is my hatred now?
Love rules over me
Something I have failed to see
The haunted of a memory
Darkness keeps my thoughts at bay
But I will find my dream one day
Hate, hate is my only thought
Blame, the blame is on you
Why, why, why, why
Why did you leave my side?
Heaven knows quite a few
Something I have failed to see
Like a haunted of a memory
Darkness keeps my thoughts at bay
But I will find my dream one day
Dream, yeah ...

I was a stone's throw
From happiness
Feeling love grow in your caress
It was like nothing
I had felt or seen
And I waited impatiently
Oh, stone's throw
And I can't stand to see you go
You hurt me bad, cut me down
But it just don't work without you
Without you around
It was a short walk
Now it's a lonely ride
It turned my day
Into a lifeless night
It was my belief and
Now it's my regret
I've got a one way ticket
That I can't accept
Oh, just a stone's throw
And I can't stand to see you go
You hurt me bad
You cut me down
But it just don't work without you
Without, without, without
Without you around
Oh, stone's throw
And I can't stand to see you go
You hurt me bad, cut me down
But it just don't work without you
Gotta have you around
Gotta have you around ...

There's never a day
When I've got nothing to do
Something to me
Might mean nothing to you
So don't don’t don’t don’t
Look at me strangely now
We'll find the line
That's in the middle and run
Something, something or nothing
You say you love to spend days
But I will save mine
Waiting for the sun in your eyes
To turn the river to wine
But don’t don’t don’t don’t
Look at me strangely now
We’re gonna find the line
That's in the middle and run
. . .

If you're looking for a place
You can fly together
And you're really afraid of
What you're leaving behind
Take the easiest road
But take care my brother
For you'll never find peace
With a troubled mind
Far better to love each other
Than to worry so deeply
‘Bout the place you’re in
And far better to kiss her softly
Than lookin' back on a love
You'll never have again
Time's as fickle as
The sky in winter
And two hearts always
Were better than one
Love has the wings
Of a tireless angel
She'll stay beside you
Till the day is done
La la la la la ...
You’ll never have again
No no no, never again
You’ll never have again
. . .

We freely speak of dreams
We marvel at what they conceal
But in my wonderworld
Each sleeping vision is so real
So I believe and hope
That all the things I see
May one day bring
Such truth and peace
As we can feel
Free from this waking world
Deep in sleep's mystery
My will is free to wander
Free to wander carelessly
At times it's not so far
From what we call reality
And at times I know I wonder
If it all could come true
Oh, Mr. Wonderworld
Don't be afraid
Lyrics'Cause dreams were made
Were made to dim the light
The torment day can bring
And leave you free
To laugh aloud and hear
Your heart bells ring
Oh, oh, Mr. Wonderworld
Wonderworld
Oh, Mr. Wonderworld
Don't be afraid
'Cause your dreams were made
They were made to dim the light
The torment day can bring
And leave you free
To laugh aloud and hear
Your heart bells ring
Oh, oh, Mr. Wonderworld
Mr. Wonderworld
Mr. Wonderworld

I'll go down fightin'
But rather be delightin'
All the people that come to see
The Devil's from Chicago
Nnow where the hell do they go
When we get in our limousines
'Cause we just want to be
Where it's all going on
But tell me what do you do
When it's over
And everyone who
Loved you is gone
They’re gone
I said they’re gone
You're our kind of people
You're the church
And we're the steeple
But we're all inside the hall
If we've got what you need
LyricsThen we'll give you the speed
To get up and have a ball
'Cause we just want to be
Where it's all going on
But tell me what do you do
When it's over
And everyone who
Loved you is gone
You're just another
Prima Donna of rock'n roll
So please let me know
When you want me to go
. . .

I woke up today
With my head in daze
‘Cause my love had gone
With nothing to do
Just to dream about you
And how we went wrong
But oh, why did you go
I loved you so, didn't you know
I walk into town
With my head hangin' down
Tryin' to hide my pain
The people I meet
As I float down the street
Tell me try again
When I remember how good it was
It makes me cry
'Cause my life's been
Turned upside down
LyricsAll I want is someone
But how do you say
Please will you stay
Please will you stay
I’ll settle down to a life
Of a clown to remain alive
I’ll work till I bleed
And if I can succeed
Maybe I'll survive
. . .

It's gonna happen
Before too long
It's gettin' hard to tell
Who's right and who's wrong
I can see it comin'
So I gotta be strong
There's gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be
Changes in this town
We're gonna see a showdown
A time's gonna come
In the future when
A whole lotta people
Gonna think again
We're gonna keep right on
Till you break and then
Do you want to be out of touch
Only you can decide
LyricsFor something different
You're out of luck
‘Cause on we will ride
On we’re gonna ride
Ride on, oh, ride on
Come on
The music explodes
Like a gun in your hand
We're gonna give you more
Than your head can stand
Then we'll sit down
And talk man to man
There's gonna be a showdown
We’re gonna see
Changes in this town
We're gonna see a showdown
Showdown ...

Searching every day
Looking every way
Trying to make a connection
To find a piece of the action
Like a hungry poet
Who doesn't know
He is close to perfection
Choice is the question
Moonlight night
After moonlight night
Side by side
They will see us ride
But if they cared to look
Then they would see
It's our return to fantasy
Fantasy, fantasy …
Can you understand
That in every man
There's a need to unwind
LyricsThat's never been defined
Somewhere deep within
There's another being
You are somehow abusing
By the person you're using
Moonlight night
After moonlight night
Side by side
They will see us ride
But if they cared to look
Then they would see
It's just our return to fantasy
Fantasy, fantasy …
Travelling faster than lightening
Closer than ever before
We can go on for you
And take you nearer to
The legend of mystery
From the beginning of time
Dreaming... time ... dreaming
We can return to
The land of the good and the kind
Time... dreaming... time... dreaming
Why don't you come to our party
And open your minds
In another place
There's a newer face
Like an unfinished painting
Your creator is waiting
The brush and pen describe
What it is inside
That will set your mind thinking
While the others are sinking
. . .

You who thought
Your eyes could tell no lies
So your life became a compromise
And it was you
Who had seen men dyin’
You heard their children cryin’
While their women weep in silence
And you who thought
You were so wise
Succeeded only in disguise
Now and then
You'd find a bridge to cross
Reach the other side
And you'd still be lost
Evaded by the sweet smell of life
And the people that you try
To show the way
Never believe you
Never believe you - no way
While your women weep in silence
Your women weep in silence
Women weep in silence
. . .

I just lay down wonderin'
What to lay down
Lately I can do it
Every day undisturbed
I think I know what
But I can't find out how
The morning didn't show me
What it was worth
Miles and miles of smiles
Getting me nowhere
Opportunities I just can see
Can't lead me to the slaughter
‘Cause I'll already be there
I've been up that street
And I know what's waiting for me
Just waiting
Midnight, moonlight
Day into day
No escape I must stay
LyricsMidnight, show me the way
Show me the way
Give me something to play
Something to play
To help me make the new day
Take me out of the darkness
Into the light
I've no friends to stand by me
Here in the night
It's an affair of
A sad and weary heart
Take me out of the darkness
Back to the start
I just lay down wonderin'
What to lay down
Lately I can do it
Every day undisturbed
I think I know what
But I just can't find out how
The morning didn't show me
What it was worth
. . .

Passing through the arms of Satan
Reaching for the hands of God
Robbing every mind for wisdom
Running so he won't get caught
He's outlawed by majority
Been branded all his life
Some say that he's a sinner man
As he rides from day to night
He's a bad man, so they say
Living for his love and living free
Riding swift and secretly
So he'll miss the hanging tree
Wounded spirit on the wind
Riding to his dream and destiny
He's laughing at the wanted posters
Calling for his friends to see
Laughing aloud as he rides away
Kicking up the dust with speed
Time hands him down a pathway
And freedom is a horse he rides
Glory is a dream he's after
And fortune is his heart's delight
Riding swift and secretly
So he'll miss the hanging tree
Wounded spirit on the wind
Riding to his dream and destiny
. . .

Sympathy just doesn't mean
That much to me
Compassion's not
The fashion in my mind
And if you're looking for
A shoulder to cry on
Don't turn your head my way
'Cause I'd rather have
My music any day
You and I are
Masters of our destiny
We look for consolation all the time
Until we find out things are not
What they were meant to be, oh no
And if it doesn't suit our mood
We'll call it crime
Dedication's not an obligation
Or a figment of
Someone's imagination
LyricsIt's the only way they say
To live from day to day
To make each passing way
A small sensation
Dreams are the possession of
The simple man
Reality the fantasy of youth
But living is a problem that
Is common to us all
With love the only
Common road to truth
. . .

Seeing you here
All of my fears seem to
Drift right away
Seeing you smile
Checking out your style
I begin to hope you'll stay
Stay awhile so we can play
Lost in a dream
That's becaming a nightmare
Day by day
It's my love and my life
And somewhere between them
There's a road
And it's a far, a far better way
Out of nowhere came this vision
Of you and me together
Looking for a better way
Then from nowhere
You came running
Look out, world
There's something coming
I've suddenly found
A lot of things to say
Now we'll sing our tune together
This way it's a whole lot better
We're out to prove
There is a place for love
Then from somewhere
We¡®ll come running
Look out, world
There's something coming
I think we've found
A far better way
I think we've found
A far better way ...

Free me, free me
Why won't you free me
Free me from your spell
Come on and free me
Why won't you free me
Come on and free me
Free me from your spell
Why should I worry
That you might not love me
You're not the only love
That I've ever had
Your sweet memory
Will always comfort me
So why should I be feeling sad
As far as I can tell
You knew so well
I was always
At the end of the line
I've loved you as much
LyricsAs any man can
But not enough
To make you mine
So long, easy rider
I know I'll miss you for awhile
But sooner or later
I know that I'll forget you
And I tell you babe
Free me
Come on and free me
Why won't you free me
Free me from your spell
Oh babe, free me
Why won't you free me
Come on and free me
Free me from your spell
We let a good love die
We let it pass us by
Though you tried to
Keep me hangin' on
But with all this doubt
It'll never work out
So tomorrow I'll be travellin' on
And saying:
So long, easy rider
I know I'll miss you for awhile
But sooner or later
I know that I'll forget you
And I beg it babe
Free me
Come on and free me
Why won't you free me
Free me from your spell
Come on and free me
I'm on my knees, babe
Free me
Why won't you free me
Free me from your spell
Oh babe, come on
Come on and free me
Why won't you free me
Free me from this spell

River, rising to hide
Across the midnight
Wanderin' westward by daylight
Take us and lead us to tomorrow
As fast as you come and can flow
River, you're windin'
An unending rhythm
The sooner keep
Movin' to warn him
The spirit that keeps
Us from sinking
Guide us from going astray
Point us a way
To a shoreline ahead
Through the mist and the fog
Of this valley of death
Too many years we have
Walked in a sleep
Now we're awaken and ready fo flee
River, we hitchhikers
Beggin' for mercy
Survive us from yesterday's curses
Don't damn us
Before you receive us
We're needin' your face
And your trust
. . .

Ain't it strange
That when you're onely
And your friends they're not around
So you make your big decision
Get your feet back on the ground
When you're down
And no one wants you
And you wonder who you are
When your friends
They don't desert you
When you make it you're a star
But I'm gonna stay
Free and easy
I know just what I am
I'm gonna be free and easy
Well, I've been through
All the heartaches
And I've been through all the pain
LyricsBut when you're up and riding high
Everybody stakes their claim
I'm gonna be free and easy
I know just what I am
I'm gonna be free and easy
I'm gonna be free and easy
I know just who I am
I'm gonna be free and easy
. . .

Alone again, I feel so alone again
With this emptiness I just can't hide
Picture me with a broken heart
See the tears run down my face
Everything I had has gone
Everything is gone
Loneliness still lingering on
Everything I thought was mine
Come back to me
Can't we try it one more time
Come back to me
I know I'll find another love in time
But you'll always be there
In the back of my mind
The power of love
Can bring such pain
I still love you, I just love you
Alone again, I'm so alone again
With nothing but you on my mind
Can't you see
What you've done to my life
What can I do to
Win you back again
. . .

I must thank lord
In my hour of need
I've given way to a better man
But I ain't been free
To push the hour here
In this soul of mine
I've burned my bridges
And I'm satisfied
The preacher's due here
In an hour or so
To give me reasons for
The things I know
I might have been careless and i
I might have been blind
If I'm the guilty, I'm satisfied
Oh woman, why did you
Do me wrong?
Sending me down and
I just can¡®t get along
When daybreak comes and
I've reached the end of the line
I have a right to live
And I'm left to die
It all seems so hazy now
It seems so long ago
She hid the things she'd done
Or things I should know
What was I to do for
The hurting here inside
I kill for love but the ...
I have a right to live
When I'm left to die
Oh, woman
I have a right to live ...

Don't take life for granted
'Cause you know that
Life won't grant you back
The feelings on the love
That you once had
You've taken me for granted
'Cause you know
I'm a lover just like you
And I'll do anything
You want me to
Who needs me?
Who needs me now?
You'll find someone
How you'll find one
Who needs me?
Who needs me now?
You'll find another but no better
You can't argue with me now
LyricsI needed you and
You did not know how
Don't let go of something
That is good when
I'll tell you it's bad
Let 'em hear the story
Make 'em sad
And if the price of love
Can cost you less than
When it first began
I guess that you won't
Find a better man
Who needs me ...

Before I leave town today
Well, there's something
That I wanna say
That you regret the stormy night
You put your eyes on me
Well, you cheated on me
And you lied
And I must've had that
A thousand times
But I'll be comin' back one day
Just you wait and see
Oh, yeah, let it ride, let it ride
Let it slip, let it slide
Ride the night away
Let it ride, let it ride
Let it slip, let it slide
¡®cause I'll be coming back to stay
This time you could've let me live
But there's nothing more
That I can give
You've stolen every day in my life
And then you threw it away
This train I'm gonna ride tonight
Is gonna carry me
Right out of your sight
But I'll be comin' back some time
And then you're gonna pay
Oh won't you take me tonight
Won't you carry me right to the top
Taking me higher
You carry me through
The things that you know
To the end of the line
How much higher?
The last lap is mine
It's too long as they say
You know it's just what will be
As you've wavin' goodbye
Keep rememberin' why
The devil that got you was me
You're the city where
I wanted to be
But the lonely spell you put on me
It's time for you to realise
That there's just no way
. . .

Feelings, empty feelings
Prayin', hopin', needin'
Just when I wanted to hold you
You're leavin', you're leavin'
Leavin', you're leavin'
I remember those magic nights
Those nights when it
All seemed right
But I knew that by mornin'
You'd be gone
And though you tell me
That it's not for long
It ain't easy here holdin' on
You gotta tell me where I stand
'cause either you don't give a damn
Or you don't even care to pretend
Or you won't spare a thought
Though you know
It must come to an end
You'd better know that
I've made up my mind
I gotta high of a different kind
And it's gonna take me
Where I wanna be
Sure I'll miss ya but I gotta choose
You can't believe that
I came here to lose
And you ain't a winner
That's easy to see
So I'll see you around or I'll write
And I'll send you some love
'cause where I wanna go
There ain't nothing to do but move
. . .

Your love ...
I've got to do it
Gotta find a direction in my life
You can't have me through it
I know that you do it
But it's my fight
Why don't you leave me alone
To drive down this windin' road
I'm alive
It just doesn't feel the same
For my love for you has changed
But your love
It never leaves me alone
For your love
Is in the world of it's own
But your love
It never leaves me alone
You¡®re sayin' that you need me
But the words don't come easy
Just hold on
I know that I lied
When I told you goodbye
Just keep hangin' on
Time won't keep waiting'
I've gotta do something with my life
You can't have me through it
But I know that do it
But it's my fight
. . .

You make it all sound easy
Now you’ve tasted all my wine
I never wanted to hear the news
That you’d found another man
But it’s hard to see
What you want from me
It’s not easy to be in-between
It’s now up to you to
Make the move this time
But it ain’t easy when you
Don’t know where to turn
And it ain’t easy
But you take the chance
The final chance to learn
Yes, to learn
That it ain’t easy when you
Don’t know where to turn
And it ain’t easy, so you take a look
Another look at life - look at life
Lyrics‘Cause it ain’t what you’ve got
In the palm of your hand
And it’s not what you’ll get
From another man
That will last you
The rest of your life my friend
Monday morning’s waiting
Take a look at what you see
Make the most of your life
Don’t keep the pages clean
Baby, now you’ve got this chance
Don’t leave me out
It’s so hard when
You’re in-between
What you need and
What may never be
It ain’t easy ...

I've been thinkin' about it
I've been thinkin' a lot to tell you
I've been thinkin' it over
I've been thinkin' of
How to show you
Whoa, my love
You, my love
I've been thinkin' about you
Ive been thinkin' of
How to show you
I've been thinkin' it over
I've been figurin' how to tell you
You, my love
You, my love
Ain't no secret
Yes, it's true
I don't know what I'll do
Ain't no secret
Guess it's true
I'd be lost without you
Ain't no secret
Yes, it's true
I'd be lost without you
Without you
I've been thinkin' it over
Ive been thinkin' of
How to show you
I've been thinkin' it over
I've been figurin' how to tell you
You, my love
You, my love
In the valley of kings ...

I've had all I can take
I've taken just too much
I've made a big mistake
That put me out of touch
I don't think I can face
Another single day
Without a call from you
To take this pain away
So many tears ago
You turned and walked away
It could've been the end
But I knew better
I had to tell myself
There'll be another day
She wants to call it quits
But don't you let her
Can't you see
There's a chance for you and me
Think it over
Don't believe
In the things that may not be
Think it over
Why don't you think it over
Forgetting you is out
I ain't givin' in
The fuss was down to you
But it's not over
You have to face the truth
I'm still in love with you
I have to make you see
That it's not over
Why don't you think about it, babe
. . .

Late at night I’ll be knocking
On your door
Late tonight I’ll be calling
You can be sure
I’ll be waiting
Standin’ in the shadows once again
Sneakin’, creepin’
Howling like a tom cat once again
Oh, there’ll be nowhere
You can hide
When I take you
On the other side of midnight
You know I don’t love you
But I love what you can do
Some more of that hot persuasion
This time it's (?) just like you
Oh, there’ll be nowhere
You can hide
LyricsWhen I take you
On the other side of midnight
I’ll be knockin’
The other side of midnight
I’ll be callin’
The other side of midnight
Knock, knockin’
The other side of midnight
I’m gonna take you
I’m gonna make you
At midnight, at midnight
Late at night
I’ll be knock knock knockin’
On your door
I said late tonight I’ll be callin’
You can be sure
I’m gonna take you
Oh, it’s gonna hurt so good
I’m gonna make you do
What a bad girl should
Oh, there’ll be nowhere to hide
When I take you
On the other side of midnight
The other side of midnight
I’ll be knockin’
The other side of midnight
I’ll be callin’
The other side of midnight
On the other side
I’ll be waitin’, I’ll be callin’
The other side of midnight
I’ll be knock knock
Knockin’ at midnight

Ten thousand stallions runnin’ wild
They dare to race the devil’s child
The race is on, hold tight the reins
They shared a week of broken chains
Wheels turnin’, wheels burnin’
See the eagles fly
Weekend warriors ...
Like shining knights
Of days gone by
They’re born again
They’ll never die
Wheels turnin’, wheels burnin’
See the angels fly
Weekend warriors ...
Like silver lighting from the sky
These gold-clad horses thunder by
Weekend warriors ...

It's the same old line
People get to you if they can
They take what they find
They will change you mind
They will fit you into their play
And then one day you'll wake up
As somebody else
Someone they advented
A split image
Don't let them burn you
Split image
Don't let them turn you
Split image
Just keeps comin' back
Comin' back, comin' back
To who you are
And the wrong get born
And the right ones just stay away
What he's livin' for
If the wrong get born
And we don't have a word to say
And it's so hard to wake up
Or in right groove
A crack in the mirror
He's come ...
Remember who you are

Streets are full of rain
Lightning cracks the sky
Hear a lonely cry, eyes full of pain
Searchin' in the darkness
Eyes pierce the night
Calling for her young one
As she walks towards the light
It's the night of the wolf
Hear the cry of the wolf
Streets paved with gold
Night gives out a warning
There's thunder in her heart
And mother wolf is calling
Searchin' in the shadows
For the one she must save
She cries out a prayer
Like a song from beyond the grave
Lyrics
The bells will toll
No one will sleep tonight
While she alone will
Walk the streets tonight
Sun begins to rise
All the streets washed with rain
Still hear her cries
Eyes burnt with pain
Returning to the twilight
Betrayed by the night
Screaming for her young one
As she walks towards the light
. . .

Wind it up, here comes the video
It's that song again
Turn it up, it's on the radio
Charge me up, I got electric eyes
I won't fall down
Light me up
Just like a christmas tree
Or am I seeing things
Wind it up, turn it up
Charge me up, never stop
Wind me up, plug me in, turn me on
And give me rock'n'roll
Give me rock'n'roll
Strap me in to the rocket ship
I'm headin' for the sun
Tune me in to the mother ship
I must be seeing things
LyricsWind it up, turn it up
Charge me up, please don't stop
Wind me up, plug me in, turn me on
And give me rock'n'roll
Rockarama, it's on the video
Rockarama on my radio
Rockarama on the stereo
Give me rock'n'roll ...
Plug me in jack to jack
Pin me to the wall
Hey leave that on, I'm on MTV
Now I'm seein' things
Wind it up, here comes that video
It's that song again
Turn me up, I'm on the radio
Or am I hearing things
Wind it up, turn it up
Charge me up, don't you stop
Wind me up, plug me in, turn me on
Give me rock'n'roll
Rockarama, it's on the video
Rockarama on my radio
Rockarama on the stereo
Give me rock'n'roll
Give me rock'n'roll
Rockarama, it's on the video
Rockarama on my radio
Rockarama on my stereo
Give me rock'n'roll ...

You say you're gonna testify
Lie away, lie away
So you're gonna gun me down
Go ahead, fire away
You say you'll
Bring the curtain down
Turn around, walk away
You're gonna close
This theatre down
Go ahead, stop the play
Your money talks
You pull the strings
Someone waits in the wings
You flick the switch, the dancer falls
You deal the cards
The dealer calls in your game
Poor little rich girl, your money talks
You pull the strings
LyricsIt's a shame, poor little rich girl
Your money burns
We all have wings
You say you're gonna
Leave this town, fly away, fly away
So you gonna
Shoot me down, go ahead
Your money burns
Your money stings
Another song that no one sings
Another script left on the floor
Another face is shown the door
In your game
Poor little rich girl, your money talks
You pull the strings
It's a shame, poor little rich girl
Your money burns
We all have wings
In the game, poor little rich girl
It's easy come, it's easy go
It's a shame, poor little rich girl
You lock the door, close the show
It's a game

Too scared I could not run
I could not make a sound
Lights were flashing
My whole life passing
My feet were stuck to the ground
Too light to call it night
Too dark to call it day
Too scared to stay and fight
Too scared to run away
So scared I could not move
I could not make a sound
There were people running
People shouting
Flashes all around
Too scared to run
Too scared to run away
Too scared I could not think
LyricsMy eyes could not scarcely see
My heart was racing
My legs were shaking
They would not carry me
Lights were flashing
My whole life passing
My heart, my heart
My heart was racing
My legs were shaking
Could not see, I could not see
. . .

Heaven's above
What on earth has this come to
What have I done
What can I do now to show you
There's still a chance
If you're ready to make up
It's not too late
'Cause I'm not ready to break up
I try to call
But you don't hear at all
I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses
This burning in my heart
Is tearing me apart
I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses
You've got to understand
That's my heart in your hand
LyricsDon't walk away
We can get this heart mended
Or am I the fool
And has this love just ended
I tried to call
But you don't hear at all
I gotta keep on trying
To stop this love from dying
You've got to understand
That my heart is in your hand
Roses
I'm sending blood red roses
This burning in my heart
Is tearing me apart
I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses
Roses
I'm sending blood red roses
This burning in my heart
Tears me apart
Roses - blood red roses
You've got to understand
That's my heart in your hand
Roses
I'm sending blood red roses
'Cause this burning in my heart
Tears me apart

His blood's on stone
It's running down the frozen wall
His hand's so cold
He's trying not to fall
Oh, will he make it now
One slip and he's lost
It's his last chance for freedom
It's all that he's got
He feels good, so right
Hot sweat on a cold night
Breaking free into the wind
He's got nothing to lose, just win
He's just a runaway
He's free now and on his way
He's almost home
Just one push and
He'll take this wall
It's blood on stone
From trying not to fall
He's made it now
Where others have not
Just one last jump to freedom
Is all that he's got
. . .

I was born an only boy
Away from palm of water
Never heard of right or wrong
I was given words to use
But I knew I was different
They wanted me to play along
How much fear can I keep
Locked away inside me
Will all these words
Disguise my pain
When all your scriptures fall
And leave us in the open
I will survive and try again
Here comes the holy roller
Here comes the book of life
Don't come knockin' round here
'cause you ain't no friend of mine
Here comes the ghost of holy
He comes to twist your mind
Don't come knockin' round here
'cause you ain't no friend
Ain't no friend of mine
What is the price that you've put
On your own salvation
Count the costs for savin' souls
Where is the sense in all this
Door-to-door damantion
When you're just left out in the cold
. . .

Summer moonlight shines
On a midnight train
Lost in emotion she cries
To the wind and the rain
In silence she feels the breeze
No mercy tonight
The passion and promise has made
Life broken inside
She stills calls his name
She can't get home
She stills calls his name
Broken hearted
Another town rolls by
As a distant rose
And wonderin' what she will find
When she gets home
You, there's a part in flame
But a careless heart
Dreams are an open game
Will tear you apart
She stills calls his name
She's out of control
She stills calls his name
Broken hearted
One love comes of the rest
A bed of roses was a bed of nails
Don't take the blame forever
Just give it time
. . .

(moving to a fantasy world)
Won't you take
A chance my brother
Follow me to a time of revelation
Can't you see that
Destiny will take a turn
And show you
There's no need to fight
'cause you know it's right
And I finally see where I'm going
I finally know what I'm knowing
Now our journey's only just begun
You won't need to ask forgiveness
What you find
Will be your inspiration
You don't have to pray for glory
All is equal, no more pain
You know it's true, it's up to you
'cause I finally see where I'm going
I finally know what I'm knowing
Now our journey's only just begun
Over the bridge
Where you start to believe
Down at the edge of the rainbow
Dark is the night
But we've seen another time
Follow the light of the shadow
Right or wrong, there is no reason
There will be no hidden destination
With the strength that you discover
You can show the way
How it was meant to be
For all to see
'cause I finally know
What I'm knowing
I finally see where I'm going
Now our journey's only just begun
