You made me feel good After all this time, Welcomed me home With my name in lights, Took me by the hand, Shook away my fear, Brought back the memory Of those earlier years. Everybody's talkin', front page news. Gotta help you get up And get rid of your blues. Cheatin' the devil, or whatever you choose, Even if you've got nothin', boy, You've got somethin' to lose.
You've got the...
Eatin' out of your hand. Got the answer if you've got the time. Can't go on forever in lotus land, Don't end up doing one night stands.
I've seen your face in every cloud, I've followed the sun Which brought me back to your side. I've lived some time By what the fortune-tellers say, But now I know in love with u.k.
Like a fighter that lost his will to kill You knew it was time to go But as I lay in a state of surrender You chose me to say your last hello Like a fighter that lost his will to kill You knew it was time to go You came upon me
As I lay in a state of surrender You say you're not afraid You know me well
Because I felt you die Why did you say you would touch me? The wind blew sugar-sweet As you passed that silver life line
No smoke without fire When will you ever learn That's what you said to me Bigger the head that turns, I say, maybe he's happy So quick to fire, never a liar in honesty
It's hinged on a stranger thing Than friends or enemies From where comes the song I sing Anger in harmony
Could he be in love again?
You know that she's got the touch The thing is we're just good friends Smoke without fire don't mean too much Your trigger finger's itching on your loaded tongue
But it's hinged on a stranger thing Than friends or enemies From where comes the song I sing Anger in harmony
Has anybody seen my baby kickin' around the town? She's the queen of torture, yeah, She, yeah, you know she put me down. Has anybody seen my woman hangin' round the streets? She ain't been home for oh, so long - She walked right out on me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Has anybody seen my woman out around the city? She ain't been home for two weeks now, And ain't that such a pity, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I had enough of this strange affair Tried so hard but we got nowhere. You drag me down, what you doing it for? I can't handle it anymore. Why, oh why won't you hear me? This information is yours for free. I'm telling you like I know I should I'm hurt, but you can't see the blood.
Well, I must have been mad Went to the doctor, I felt so sad. Yeah, I must be insane You turned me over again and again.
Had enough of this strange affair Plain to see that you just don't care. You been fooling around for too long That ain't the way to be carrying on. Why, oh why don't it matter to you? Don't you know what you're putting me through? But it's over, tears I have cried. This strange affair is a thorn in my side.
Had enough of this strange affair I was a victim of a love so rare. Told me lies and betrayed my trust Feel like a sucker with a teenage crush. Why, oh why keep leading me on? Don't you know you been doing me wrong? Your best friend confirmed my worst fears Should have known it had to end in tears.
Mother s first look to the eyes of a child Casts the die of destiny. Its a perfect life she gives to you, Not to lose so innocently. Leading the way, she rises above Unexpected adversity.
I hear her calling, Keeper of the Light, The words of warning, thunder in the night. I hear her calling, guarding what is right. I see her waiting, Keeper of the Light.
A silhouette on the skyline, a symbol of your liberty, Protecting time thats passing by, Mother knows, never lies. A better life the children will see, A world of change, full of hope and sympathy.
I hear her calling, Keeper of the Light, The words of warning, thunder in the night. I hear her calling, guarding what is right. I see her waiting, Keeper of the Light.
In the fire, the king will come. Thunder rolls, piper and drum. Evil sons, overrun, Count their sins - judgment comes. The checkerboard of nights and days - Man will die, man be saved. The sky will fall, the earth will pray, When judgment comes to claim its day. See the word of the prophet On a stone in his hand. Poison pen revelation, Or just a sign in the sand? The checkerboard of nights and days - Man will die, man be saved. The sky will fall, the earth will pray, When judgment comes to claim its day. See the word of the prophet On a stone in his hand. Poison pen revelation, Or just a sign in the sand?
There's a light that shines on Persephone, Always a fire in her eyes, And the last time that I went to her I could tell things weren't right.
I just don't care to see your years go wasting, There's no longer magic in your eyes.
In your time, you could outshine everybody else around, But your off-stage ways might be a bore - You take a bow, you take a fall.
I came to be here in the footlights, To live with you through every song, And your face displays a peaceful field. I can't believe the curtain has to fall.
Now I know your years were never wasted, Tonight I saw the magic in your eyes.
Throw down the sword, The fight is done and over, Neither lost, neither won. To cast away the fury of the battle And turn my weary eyes for home. There were times when I stood at death's own door Only hoping for an answer. Throw down the sword, And leav
Keep the wheels turning On this lonely road A slave of mother nature I've got to get back home Such a grey coloured nightmare Of what used to be so good Dreams and desires It's the way - the way of the world.
See a light in the distance Going to show me the way Another road to be taken Another stage to be on Carry me, carry me A little closer home Dreams and desires It's the way - the way of the world.
Stormy weather, take me to Back where I belong. At the airport, on the plane, Now I'm going home. Takes so long, flying high, I just love the way of the world
The grey mist ushers in the day. A beggar walks along the king's highway. Where does he come from? who can tell? They can't escape the gaze they know so well.
The dream came true in far off lands. He always knew she'd understand.
The march of time her love did wane.
Another's crime played on the lady's pain, And now the ring shines in her hand. Who's the stranger with her wedding band?
With faith so true, robbed of his lands He always knew she'd understand.
She was a lonely girl without a dream, Then one day a flash of light, down by that stream, Far away, on a silver screen, she saw an image of herself She'd never seen. No more lonely nights, no more lonely tears. [Repeat: x2]
She was a-wiping the tears away, saying farewell. She made up her mind to leave, find that dream. Well, I know you're happy, wherever you are. Each day brings me closer to you, however far. No more lonely nights, no more lonely tears [Repeat: x2] No more lonely nights, she crying no more tears.
She's out there. Her eyes can see Into the future and her destiny. Never look back, no, no, no, no, to the shades of the past. By the way you look, you know, you know You want it, you want it to last. No more lonely nights, no more lonely tears. [Repeat: x2] No more lonely nights, crying no more tears.
She's wiping the tears away, she's saying farewell.
