One day in the Year of the Fox Came a time remembered well When the strong young man of the rising sun Heard the tolling of the great black bell One day in the Year of the Fox When the bell began to ring It meant the time had come for one to go To the temple of the king There in the middle of the circle he stands Searching seeking With just one touch of his trembling hand The answer will be found Daylight waits while the old man sings Heaven help me And then like the rush of a thousand wings It shines upon the One And the day has just begun
One day in the Year of the Fox Came a time remembered well When the strong young man of the rising sun Heard the tolling of the great black bell One day in the Year of the Fox When the bell began to sing It meant the time had come for the One to go To the temple of the king There in the middle of the people he stands Seeing feeling With just a wave of the strong right hand he's gone To the temple of the king
Far from the circle at the edge of the world He's hoping wondering Thinking back on the stories he's heard of What he's going to see There in the middle of a circle it lies Heaven help me Then all could see by the shine in his eyes The answer had been found Back with the people in the circle he stands Giving feeling With just one touch of a strong right hand they know Of the temple and the king
When evening falls She'll run to me Like whispered dreams Your eyes can't see
Soft and warm She'll touch my face A bed of straw against the lace
We believed we'd catch the rainbow Ride the wind to the sun Sail away on ships of wonder But life's not awheel with chains madeof steel So bless me come the dawn Come the dawn Come the dawn Come the dawn
We believed we'd catch the rainbow Ride the wind to the sun Sail away on ships of wonder But life's not awheel with chains madeof steel So bless me A bless me bless me Come the dawn Come the dawn Come the dawn Come the dawn
She's been gone since yesterday Oh I didn't care Never cared for yesterdays Fancies in the air No sighs or mysteries She lay golden in the sun No broken harmonies But I've lost my way She had rainbow eyes Rainbow eyes Rainbow eyes
Love should be a simple blend A whispering on the shore No clever words you can't defend They lead to never more No sighs or mysteries She lay golden in the sun No broken harmonies But I've lost my way She had rainbow eyes Rainbow eyes Rainbow eyes
Summer nights are colder now They've taken down the fair And All the lights have died somehow Or were they ever there No sighs or mysteries She lay golden in the sun No broken harmonies But I've lost my way She had rainbow eyes
I'm a wheel, I'm a wheel I can roll, I can feel And you can't stop me turning 'Cause I'm the sun, I'm the sun I can move, I can run But you'll never stop me burning
* Come down with fire Lift my spirit higher Someone's screaming my name Come and make me holy again I'm the man on the silver mountain I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the day, I'm the day I can show you the way And look I'm right beside you I'm the night, I'm the night I'm the dark and the light With eyes that see inside you
* x 2
Just look at me and listen I'm the man, the man, give you my hand Come down with fire Lift my spirit higher I'm the man on the silver mountain I'm the man on the silver mountain I'm the night the light The black and the white The man on the silver mountain
See the stars come fallin' down the sky Gently passing, they kiss your tear drops dry See the wind come, softly blow Your hair from your face And the rain comes falling down In its crazy way Still I'm sad
For myself my tears just fall in the dust As I search in the night and find they're lost See the wind come gently blow Time into my heart And the rain comes falling down While we're apart Still I'm sad
Version 2 (Yardbirds' version?)
See the stars come joining down from the skies Gently passing they kiss your tears when you cry See the wind of summer blow your hair upon your head See the rain, the falling rain, it's rain Still I'm sad
Oh my flowers, my tears are falling two days They are driving the night profound, they are lost Flower, flower the wind is blowing Time into my heart When the wind blows hard, we are apart Still I'm sad
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Still I'm sad Oh, oh, oh, oh, How I'm sad
get the same old dreams same time everynight Fall to the ground and I wake up So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head Thoughts fly back to the breakup
These four wall are closing in Look at the fix you put me in
Since you been gone Since you been gone I'm out of my head can't take it Could I be wrong But since you been gone You cast your spell so break it Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Since you been gone
So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light I read the words that you sent to me I can take the afternoon, the night time comes around too soon You can't know what you mean to me
Your poison letter, your telegram Just goes to show you don't give a damn
Since you been gone Since you been gone I'm out of my head can't take it Could I be wrong But since you been gone You cast your spell so break it Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Since you been gone
If you will come back Baby, you know you'll never do wrong
Since you been gone Since you been gone I'm out of my head can't take it Could I be wrong But since you been gone You cast your spell so break it Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Ever since you been gone
Since you been gone Since you been gone I'm out of my head can't take it Since you been gone Since you been gone I'm out of my head can't take it
Every night I have the same old dream 'bout you and me and what's in between So many changes, so many lies Try to run, try to hide )From everything that I feel inside But I can't escape you or your frozen eyes... Searching in the darkness Fading out of sight Love was here and gone like a thief in the night... Stone Cold... and I thought I knew you so well Stone Cold Can't break away from your spell
Another dark and empty night If I was wrong I wanna make it right But you are so distant, so far away Your words like ice fall on the ground Breaking the silence without a sound Oh familiar strangers with nothing to say Searching in the darkness Fading out of sight Love was here and gone like a thief in the night... Stone Cold... and I thought I knew you so well... Stone Cold Can't break away from your spell... You leave me Stone Cold
Searching in the darkness Fading out of sight Love was here and gone like a thief in the night... Stone Cold... and I thought I knew you so well Stone Cold Can't break away from your spell You're Stone Cold...yeah I can't break away from your spell Stone Cold...baby I thought I knew you so well You're stone cold...ice cold Can't break away from your spell (you put me in the deep freeze) (oh baby don't you leave me) (stone...cold, your leavin' me cold) Stone Cold...I thought I knew you so well Stone Cold...Can't break away from your spell
In the light of day You can hear the old ones say Was the sound last night the wind? Can you feel the change begin By the fall of the show A single soul will go With foot steps on the white There's an unholy light
There's a hole in the sky Something evil's passing by, what's to come Refrain When the siren calls you go To run with the wolf
When the world makes a turn Then eyes of one will learn That a sound just like the wind Only makes the change begin By the end of the rain The feelings passed again From the things that shap and bite An unholy light
Refrain
There's a break in the ground Like the swirling waters Angry as they pull you down When the siren calls you go To run with the wolf } 2 times
Refrain
Like a beast in the field You know his fate is still To run with the wolf To run with the wolf
Seas that make you know it's late now we go To run, run, run, to run, run, run with the wolf Run, run, run, run now we go
You're walking up with your eyes on me It's looking good but I just don't know I need a girl who can keep her head All night long You didn't come just to see the show I guess you know what you wanna see The way you smile lets me know I can't go wrong I wanna touch you I wanna feel you I wanna make you mine I wanna love you all night long I wanna be with you all night long I wanna love you all night long I wanna be with you all night long I saw you standing down by the stage Your black stockings and you see - through dress Your mouth is open but I don't wanna hear you Say goodnight You're sort of young but you're over age I don't care 'cause I live your style I don't know about your main but You look alright I wanna touch you I wanna feel you I wanna make you mine I wanna love you all night long I wanna be with you all night long I wanna love you all night long I wanna be with you all night long Your mind is dirty but your hands are clean You show no class but your legs are long I know I can't stand another night On my own Hey girl would you like some wine What's your name are you by yourself Are you the one what do you say Can I take you home I wanna touch you I wanna feel you I wanna make you mine I wanna love you all night long I wanna be with you all night long I wanna love you all night long I wanna be with you all night long

If I'm high on a hill She will still be looking down at me What does she see That brings her closer every day to my heart If I'm away from home And think I'm all alone She's there, somewhere I look around to see And looking back at me She's there, beware Creeping like a hungry cat Seen it before And I know it can mean that
* The lady's starstruck she's nothing but bad luck The lady's starstruck running after me The lady's starstruck she's nothing but bad luck, yeah, yeah
I could fly to the moon But she'd soon find a way to be there I never knew for a while That a smile made 'em really care She wants a souvenir To everyone it's clear She's hooked, one look She wants a photograph And everybody laughs But not me, 'cause I see She's creeping like a hungry cat Seen it before and I know it can mean that
*
I used to be a game Now I can't repeat my name at all She seems to believe that I never can refuse her call She wants a souvenir To everyone it's clear She's hooked, one look She wants a photograph And everybody laughs But not me, 'cause I see She's creeping like a hungry cat Seen it before and I know it can mean that
* x 2
And back of a tree I'm looking back at me Blind and off my state I've just got to beware The lady's starstruck Yes, she's bad luck, bad luck
Highnoon oh I'd sell my soul for water Nine years' worth of breakin' my back There's no sun in the shadow of the wizard- See how we glides why he's lighter than air- oh I see his face where is your star is it far, is it far, is it far- when no we leave I believe yes I believe
*In the heat and the rain with whips and chains (jus to) see him fly so many die we built a tower of stone with our flash and bone Just (to) see him fly (what we) don't know why Now where do we go-*
Hot wind moving fast across the desert We feel that our time has arrived The world spins while we put his wing together A tower of stone to take him straight to the sky- oh I see his face where is your star is it far, is it far, is it far- when no we leave I believe yes I believe
*repeat-
All eyes see the figure of the wizard As he climbs to the top of the world No sound as he falls instead of rising Time standing still then there's blood on the sand
oh I see his face where is your star was it far, was it far, was it far- when did we leave we believed, we believed, we believed-
In the heat and the rain with whips and chains (jus to) see him fly so many die we built a tower of stone with our flash and bone Just (to) see him fly but why It don't rain with all our chains, did so many die Just to see him fly (look at my flesh and bone now look, look, look, look at this tower of stone)
I heard the sound of voices in the night, Spell bound there was someone calling, I looked around no on was sight Pulled down I just kept on falling I've seen this place before You were standing by my side I've seen your face before tonight Maybe I just see what I want to be I know it's a mystery Do you remember me on a street of dreams, Running through my memory On the street of dreams
There you stood a distant memory So good like we never parted Said to myself I knew you'd set me free And here we are right back where we started Something's come over me And I don't know what to feel Maybe this fantasy is real Now it's still a mystery
Do you remember me on a street of dreams, Running through my memory On the street of dreams You are on every face I see On the street of dreams
Tell me have you always been On the street of dreams Will we ever meet again my friend Do you know just who you'll see do ya On the street of dreams You can be who you want to be oh yeh I can hear you calling me I can feel you haunting me Haunting me
First time I saw your face By your side was the only place That I would wanna be Sometimes and I don't know why Love can come or it can pass you by Now you take all the love you gave to me (You take it from me) You're tearin' out my heart Oh -
Never thought I'd see the day You would throw my love away And oh... it's killing me One thing you'll never know How it hurts to let you go... As you turn and walk away from me... (Walk away) You're tearin' out me heart Feel like I been ripped apart You're tearin' out my heart...
Daybreaks, I try to be free But your memory is haunting me Oh - there's nothing I can do All alone in the candlelight I see your face again tonight And I feel all the emptiness without you (Without you) tearin' out my heart Oh, I feel like I been ripped apart Tearin' out my heart... Whoa... my heart
Yesterday you were here by my side Nothing to prove and nothing left to hide You promised me there would be no goodbye But now I find another set of lies Babe you must be crazy How could you be so blind Why would you deceive me Now you're saying that you're leaving me behind So strong I'm not gonna run away Want you to know that I'm gonna break through How long can I go on this way There's nothing I can do
Desperate heart think you better hold out Torn apart I was left to bleed Don't start feeling you were sold out Now you better face reality Did my best did the best that I could It's all been wasted just misunderstood You keep on talking Your words are sounding so smoothe Why don't you say it You just want to cut me loose Oh don't say that you love me Don't wont to hear that you tried Oh don't tell me that you need me Don't want to hear none of your alibis So strong I'm not gonna run away Want you to know that I'm gonna break through How long can I go on this way There's nothing I can do
Desperate heart think you better hold out Torn apart I was left to bleed Don't start feeling you were sold out Now you better face reality
So strong I'm not gonna run away Want you to know that I'm gonna break through How long can I go on this way Tell me what can I do Nothing I can do
Desperate heart think you better hold out Torn apart I was left to bleed Don't start feeling you were sold out Now you better face reality (Twice)
Carry home my broken bones and lay me down to rest Forty days of cries and moans I guess I've failed to pass the test I've been sent away not a thing to say I'm banished from the fold I'm a fallen angel who's lost his wings And left out in the cold
Chorus:
Ooooh L. A. Connection Oh L. A. Connection L. A. Connection
Operator place a call keep a secret put it through Investigator knows it all he's at the window I wonder who I've got to cut the line and let me drift Find a haven in the storm I got no time I need a lift to where It's sweet and close and warm
Chorus: Ooooh L. A. Connection Oh L. A. Connection L. A. Connection
Carry home my broken bones and lay me down to rest Forty days of cries and moans well I've just failed test Feel I'm balanced on the brim should I lean another way Like a flame that's going on the dim Needs blessing from the day
Chorus:
Ooooh L. A. Connection Oh take me away I got nothing to say It's got to be an L. A. Connection L. A. Connection
Look away from the sea I can take you anywhere Spend a vision with me A chase with the wind Move closer to me I can make you anyone I think you're ready to see The Gates to Babylon The power of what has been before Rises to trap you within A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more A city of heavenly sin Sleep with the devil and then you must pay Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away Oh Gates of Babylon You can see but you're blind Someone turned the sun around But you can see in your mind The Gates of Babylon You're riding the endless caravan Bonded and sold as a slave A saber dance removing all the veils Getting as good as you gave Sleep with the devil and then you must pay Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away Look away from the sea I can take you anywhere Spend a vision with me A chase with the wind Move closer to me I can make you anyone I think you're ready to see The Gates of Babylon The power of what has been before Rises to trap you within A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more A city of heavenly sin Sleep with the devil and then you must pay Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away Black Gates of Babylon The devil is me And I'm holding the key To the gates of sweet hell Babylon

At the end of a dream If you know where I mean When the mist just starts to clear
In a similar way At the end of today I could feel the sound of writing on the wall It cries for you It's the least that you can do
Like a spiral on the wind I can hear it screamin' in my mind Long live Rock and Roll Long live Rock 'n' Roll Long live Rock and Roll
in a different time When the words didn't rhyme You could never quite be sure Then on with the change It was simple but strange And you knew the feeling seemed to say it all It cries for you It's the least that you can do Like a spiral on the wind I can hear it screamin' in my mind Long live Rock and Roll Long live Rock 'n' Roll Long live Rock and Roll
If you suddenly see What has happened to me You should spread the word around
And tell everyone here That it's perfectly clear They can sail above it all on what they've found It cries for you It's the best that you can do Like a sound that's everywhere I can hear it screaming through the air Long live Rock and Roll Long live Rock 'n' Roll Long live Rock and Roll
