Dave Mason - The Definitive Collection [compilation] (2006) by Dave Mason (보컬) on maniadb.com

Seems I got to have a change of scene
Every night I have the strangest dream
Imprisoned by the way it could have been
Left you on my own or so it seemed
I got to leave before I start to scream
But someone locked the door and took the keys

/ D7 - G7 - / :

{Refrain}
You feelin' all right, oh oh
I'm not feelin' too good myself, oh oh
You feelin' all right, oh oh
I'm not feelin' too good myself, oh oh

Boy, you sure took me for one big ride
And even now I sit and I wonder why
Then when I think of you, I start myself to cry
Just can't waste my time, I must get by
Gotta stop believin' in all your lies
'Cause there's too much to do before I die

{Refrain}

Feelin' all right
Ooh, don't you get too lost, in all I say
In a better time, you know I really felt that way
But that was then and now you know it's today
I can't get safe, so I guess I'm here to stay
'Til someone comes along and takes my place
With a different name, and a different face

Only you know and I know
All the lovin' we've got to show
So don't refuse to believe it
By reading too many meanings

'Cause you know that I mean what I say
So don't go, and never take me the wrong way
You know you can't go on gettin' your own way
'Cause if you do, it's gonna get you someday

We're both here to be pleasin'
Oh, no, no, not deceivin'
But it's hard to believe in
Ah yeah, when you've been so mistreated

'Cause you know that I mean what I say
So don't go, and never take me the wrong way
You know you can't go on gettin' your own way
'Cause if you do, it's gonna get you someday

If I seem to mislead you
It's just my craziness comin' through
But when it comes down to just two
Ah, I ain't no crazier than you

'Cause you know that I mean what I say
So don't go, and never take me the wrong way
You know you can't go on gettin' your own way
'Cause if you do, it's gonna get you someday

Only you know and I know
Only you know and I know
Only you know and I know, oh yeah
Only you know and I know, oh yeah, get up

Who am I talking to it's just myself
I talk to the wall when I talk with someone else
Only a few that I met really knew
Why so many good things had so much abuse

(CHORUS)
I can't stop from worrying
About the things we do
I can't stop loving
Without it nothing would seem true

I've got my dreams about the way it's gonna be
I'd share it all with someone real not make-believe
It sometimes gets hard to see the wood from the tree
But when things are right then no questions will I need

(CHORUS)

The scenery's changed but my feelings remain
Laughter and pain and love is still the same
Something worth having doesn't come too easily
A man needs the challenge or a man couldn't be

(CHORUS)

Mason

Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Then we wouldn't be in this mess today
I know we've all gone different ways
But the dues we have to pay are still the same

It's time to change the script for this old play
You're readin' and not feelin' what you say
Comin' on too strong for me to stay
Interpret what you see in any way

It seems the simple things
Are hardest to explain
Wind is gonna come too soon
And deaden all the pain
Footprints in the snow will show
Where the things are still the same
Till you get the warmer sun
Of someone else to live again

Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Then we wouldn't be in this mess today
I know we've all gone different ways
But the dues we have to pay are still the same

Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Keep On...

Mason

Things could be lazy
If they weren't so crazy
And I wasn't following you
Running in circles
Won't find me no purpose
It's right here with you and what I do

Changes of season
Aren't nearly as pleasing
As watching the changes in you
Turn for in new day
In search of a new way
But are you sure that it will do

(CHORUS)
World in changes still going through
I've got a lot to learn about you
World in changes still coming through
You've got a lot to learn about me too
You've got a lot to learn about me too

I said the world nearly see
What you really mean to me
I'll tell the truth cause I can't pretend
Find yourself a real friend
And then you nearly reach the end
Of all of this runnin' round we do

(CHORUS)

Mason

Don't talk to me of fame and fortune
Don't tell me of the things you've read
Don't get involved in games of reason
There ain't no reason I could see for you to win

(CHORUS)
I've asked you questions now for far too long
I'm feelin' highly wasted but there ain't no sun
I'm tired of callin' you here when things go wrong
So now I'm finding all I need in just a song

Just take my hand and let me feel that I belong
Just take some time out from yourself to get along
Just one more day and I will turn from you and run
Although you're all I do, all I've ever done

(CHORUS)

It may be the way I feel but you are all I have
It's not the same for everyone I know that well
It need a lot of give and take from everyone
But playin' game just won't have gettin' along

(CHORUS)

In just a song
Just a song

Looking all around me what do I see
Lots of changing faces and lots of things to be
But I'm happy just to be a part of all I see
As I turn round to look at you
And you look back at me

There isn't time to hang around
Anymore
So fill your heart with lovin'
And open up the door
Someone's calling out to you
And that's what love is for
As I turn round to look at you
And you look back no more

I'm feelin' up
I'm feelin' down
My head's been twisted
All around
But now my feet
Are on the ground
For everyone to see

There's many ways to reach you
Though you're far away
All the little things we do
The little things we say
I miss you like I miss the sun
I need you every day
As I turn round to look at you
And you look back my way

Looking all around me what do I see
Lots of changing faces and lots of things to be
But I'm happy just to be a part of all I see
As I turn round to look at you
And you look back at me

I'm feelin' up
I'm feelin' down
My head's been twisted
All around
But now my feet
Are on the ground
For everyone to see

Mason

Lips that are warm could be
Lips that speak too soon
Lips that tell a story
As sad and deep as you

Smile that's warm as summer sun
Smile that gets you through
Smile that tells a story
As sad and deep as you

The eyes that are the windows
The eyes that are the view
The eyes that tell a story
As sad and deep as you

The tears that are unspoken words
The tears that are the truth
The tears that tell a story
As sad and deep as you

He seeks and he hides
He lives and he dies
He saw it before we were dreaming
He'll hustle you down
A tin can or a crown
But he'll never play with your feelings

Headkeeper's the name
He's been here since he came
And he's keeping ahead of the meaning

He's weak and he's brave
He'll make you a slave
Or free you to fly in the heaven
With thoughts that are pure
He'll reflect all you saw
And all that is just an illusion

Don't you know the feeling
Don't you know the truth
Don't you know your dreaming
Don't you know, it's you
Don't you know, it's you

Headkeeper's the name
He's been here since he came
And he's keeping ahead of the meaning

I think I?ll lose an hour or two
With you beside the water
Don?t lose time in bringing me
That good thing that you ought to

Baby ? please
You?ve got me scraping my knees
Baby ? please
Please, please, don?t make me go back to the freeze

Every time that I try to connect girl
Well, it seems that your line is engaged
I?m a slave to the way that you move me
I?m a puppy dog wagging my tail

Baby ? please
You?ve got me scraping my knees
Baby ? please
Please, please, don?t make me go back to the freeze

Staring out of windows like a helpless child
Pouring down the whiskey like it?s goin? out of style
Trying to tell myself that everything is fine
In a big rubber room with a silver spoon still on my mind

Well, I?m pacing the floor like a tiger
Living nights that have passed into days
Looking over my shoulder
To catch anything coming my way

Baby ? please
You?ve got me scraping my knees
Baby ? please
Please, please, don?t make me go back to the freeze

To some, I am a blessing, to others, I'm a curse
I'm a writer, not a fighter, I'm a person, not a purse
I may be just an easy touch and taken for much more
But I just came to leave a little loving at your door

Ooh, show me some affection
Ooh, give me some direction
Ooh, know you're my connection

Just a jet-age gypsy looking for a gypsy queen
I sometimes think I'm on the brink of knowing what I mean
Cities come and cities go but still I cannot find
A place to call a home when there's a woman on my mind

Ooh, show me some affection
Ooh, give me some direction
Ooh, know you're my connection

If hanging out with you was spent in hanging in
I'd still be out of time with time just waiting to begin
Have no preconceived ideas of how things have to be
I'll just take life as it comes and hope that it takes me

Ooh, show me some affection
Ooh, give me some direction
Ooh, know you're my connection

Ooh, show me some affection
Ooh, give me some direction
Ooh, you know you're my connection

Every Woman

Dave Mason

Don't misunderstand me, though
I know that I've been mean
Woman can't you see that I'm in need
Although we may be far apart
In heart and soul we're near
My body aches for you to just be here

You are every woman in the world to me
And every season I go through
You are every woman in the world to me
Especially when I'm making love to you

Like a falling tear drop
You can wipe away my blues
Live honey you can make the bitter sweet
You're a child, a girl, a woman
You are everything I'd choose
That's why I sing this song to you
That's why I sing this song to you

"There must be some way out of here", said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."

"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
