Gary Moore - Gary Moore - The Platinum Collection [compilation] (2006) by Gary Moore (보컬) on maniadb.com

I remember Paris in ′49,
The Champs Elysee, San Michelle,
And old Beaujolais wine.
And I recall that you were mine
In those Parisienne days.
Looking back at the photographs,
Those summer days
spent outside corner cafes.
oh, I could write you paragraphs
About my old Parisienne days.

It doesn't matter
if you're wrong or if you're right.
it makes no difference
if you're black or if you're white.

All men are equal
till the victory is won.
No colour or religion
ever stopped the bullet from a gun.

Out in the fields.
The fighting has begun.
Out on the streets.
They're falling one by one.
Out from the skies.
A thousand more will die each day.
Death is just a heartbeat away.

It doesn't matter
if you're left or to the right.
Don't try to hide behind the cause,
they want to fight.

there'll be no prisoners taken
when the day is done.
No flag,no uniform
ever stopped the bullet from a gun.

Out in the fields.
The fighting has begun.
Out on the streets.
They're falling one by one.
Out from the skies.
A thousand more will die each day.
Death is just a heartbeat away.

There's no communication,
noone to take the blame.
The cries og every nation,
they're falling on deaf ears again.

Out in the fields.
Out in the fields.
they're falling one by one.
Out in the fields.
No flag has ever stopped
the bullet from a gun.

Death is just a hearbeat away.
Out in the fields.
A hearbeat away.
Out in the fields.
Death is just a heartbeat away.
Out in the fields.
A heartbeat away.
Out in the fields.

In the fields.
The fighting has begun.
Out on the street.
They're falling one by one.
Out form the skies.
A thousand more will die each day.

They came for him one winter's night.
Arrested, he was bound.
They said there'd been a robbery,
his pistol had been found.

They marched him to the station house,
he waited till the dawn.
And as they led him to the dock,
he knew that he'd been wronged.
You stand accused of robbery,
he heard the bailiff say.
He knew without an alibi
tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.

Over the hills and far away,
for ten long years he'll count the days.
Over the mountains and the seas,
a prisoner's life for him there'll be.

He knew that it would cost him dear,
but yet he dare not say.
Just where he had been that fateful night,
a secret it must stay.
He had to fight back tears of rage.
His heart beat like a drum.
For with the wife of his best friend,
he'd spent his final night of freedom.

Over the hills and far away,
he swears he will return one day.
Far from the mountains and the seas,
back in her arms again he'll be.
Over the hills and far away.

Each night within his prison cell,
he looks out through the bars.
He reads the letters that she wrote.
One day he'll know the taste of freedom.

Over the hills and far away,
she prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
back in his arms again she'll be.

Over the hills and far away,
he swears he will return one day.
As sure as the river reach the sea,
back in his arms is where she'll be.

Over the hills and far away,
she prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
back in her arms is where he'll be.

Over the hills.
Over the hills and far away.

Over the hills.
Over the hills and far away.

Loneliness is your only friend
A broken heart that just won`t mend is the price you pay.
It`s hard to take when love grows old,
The days are long and the nights turn cold when it fades away.
You hope that she will change her mind
But the days drift on and on
You`ll never know the reason why she`s gone.
You see her face in every crowd,
You hear her voice but you`re still proud so you turn away.
You tell yourself that you will be strong,
But your heart tells you this time you`re wrong.
You hope that she will change her mind
But the days drift on and on
You`ll never know the reason why she`s gone.
Empty rooms where we learn to live without love
Empty rooms where we learn to live without love
Empty rooms where we learn to live without love
Oh no in an empty room
Loneliness is your only friend
Woo Oh she`s gone
And your happ`ning end

WILD FRONTIER

I remember the old country
they call the emerald land.
And I remember my hometown
before the war began.

Now we're riding on a sea of rage,
the victims you have seen.
You'll never hear them sing again
The Forty Shades Of Green.

We're goin' back to the wild frontier.
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling.
Back to the wild frontier.
We're goin' back,
back to the wild frontier.

I remember my city streets
before the soldiers came.
Now armoured cars and barricades
remind us of our shame.

We are drowning in a sea of blood,
the victims you have seen.
Never more to sing again
The Forty Shades Of Green.

We're goin' back to the wild frontier.
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling.
Back to the wild frontier.
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling.

Those are the days I will remember.
Those are the days I most recall.
We count the cost of those we lost
and pray it's not in vain.
The bitter tears of all those years.
I hope we live to see those days again.

Now we're riding on a sea of rage,
the victims you have seen.
You'll never hear us sing again
The Forty Shades Of Green.

And I remember a friend of mine,
so sad now that he's gone.
They tell me I'll forget
as time goes on.

We're goin' back to the wild frontier.
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling.
Back to the wild frontier.
We're goin' back.
Back to the wild frontier.
Back to the wild frontier.
Back to the wild frontier.

Those forty shades of green are calling me back home.

Ooh, we're goin' back.
Back to the wild frontier.
I'm goin' back.
Back to the wild frontier.

Shapes Of Things
(Samwell-Smith/Relf/McCarty)

Shapes of things before my eyes,
just teach me to dispise.
Will time make man more wise?

Here, within my lonely frame.
My eyes just hurt my brain.
But will it seem the same?

Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Come tomorrow, maybe a soldier?
Come tomorrow, will I be bolder than today?

Now, the trees are almost green.
But will they still be seen,
when time and tide have been?

Soon, I hope that I will find
thoughts deep within my mind,
that won't disgrace my kind.

Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Come tomorrow, maybe a soldier?
Come tomorrow, will I be bolder than today?

Shapes of things before my eyes,
just teach me to dispise.
Will time make man more wise?

Take off your hat, kick off your shoes.
You know you ain't goin' anywhere.
Spend all your time singin' your blues.
You know you ain't goin' anywhere.

You've always been a good friend of mine
But you always say farewell.
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well.
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 one day the sun will shine through.

You've always got somethin' to hide.
Somethin' you just can't tell.
And the only time that you're satisfied,
Is with your feet in the wishing well.
In the wishing well.

But I know what you're wishing for.
Love in a peaceful world.
Love in a peaceful world.
Love in a peaceful world.

You've always been a good friend of mine
But you always say farewell.
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well.

In the wishing well.
In the wishing well.

Everybody's got a dream.
And they take it to the wishing well.
Everybody's got a dream.
Wishing well.

Baby, I used to be the kind anyone could burn.
But now I've left those days behind,
And it's time for the wheel to turn.
Baby, I used to be so easy to take for a ride.
But now I've learned to play the game,
And my eyes are always open wide.

I was the one who would listen to you,
When you handed me all of your lies (all of your lies).
But those days have gone, and it's time you caught on,
'cause this time nothin's gonna get by.

Don't take me for a loser.
Don't take me for a loser, 'cause I'm gonna win.
Don't take me for a fool, baby.
'Cause it would take a fool to lose you again.

Baby, you used to be the one who could run around.
But now my heart is in my head,
And nothing you have said can pull me down.
One day, I told you everything would come back on you.
And now you've had all your chances,
And your one night romances are through.

I was the one who would listen to you,
When you handed me all of your lies (all of your lies).
But those days have gone, and it's time you caught on,
'cause this time nothin's gonna get by.

Don't take me for a loser.
Don't take me for a loser, 'cause I'm gonna win.
Don't take me for a fool, baby.
'Cause it would take a fool to lose you again.

Look at you, a fool in love.
A man too blind to see.
You never ask yourself
why they all leave you.
You try to play so many games.
You give yourself away.
And then you wonder
why no one believes you.
You've got to realise
that this is goin' nowhere.
You've got to understand
that there's so much you can share.
You know you've got to
hold on to love
if you wanna learn to forget your sorrow.
You've got to
hold on to love
like there's no tomorrow.
Look at you, a fool in love.
A man too blind to see.
You never ask yourself why they all hurt you.
You try to hide behind your lies.
You give yourself away.
And then you wonder why they all desert you.
You know you've got to
hold on to love
if you wanna learn to forget your sorrow.
You've got to
hold on to love
like there's no tomorrow.
You know you've got to
hold on to love
if you've got to beg, steal or borrow.
You've got to
hold on to love
like there's no tomorrow.

You've got to realise
that this is goin' nowhere.
You've got to understand
that there's so much you can share.
You know you've got to
hold on to love
if you wanna learn to forget your sorrow.
You've got to
hold on to love
like there's no tomorrow.
You better learn to
hold on to love
if you've got to beg, steal or borrow.
You've got to
hold on to love
like there's no tomorrow.
You know you've got to
hold on, hold on, hold on,
keep holdin' on.
Hold on to love like there's no tomorrow.
There'll be a prize to pay,
if your love runs away.
Hold on, hold on,
hold on to love.

I was born up on the North side,
where the Lagan River flows.
When I came across the border,
I was following my nose.
Dublin city '69,
there could have been no better place,
there was no better time.
Through the thunder and the rain,
the deepest blood of emeralds
was running through my veins.

Blood of emeralds.
I was down and out on Skid Row,
but I held on to my pride.
The darkest son of Ireland,
he was standin' by my side.
We would sail the stormy seas.
Never looking back,
we were afraid of what we'd see.
Through the thunder and the rain,
the deepest blood of emeralds
was running through our veins.
Some of us will win and some of us will lose,
the strong will survive.
Some of us will fall,
some of us won't get out of here alive.
Blood of emeralds.

I was angry, I was sad,
just thinking about the times we had.
I felt so lost and lonely too,
what could I say, what could I do?
After all, the time goes by.
No one knows the reasons why.
You lived each day
like there was no tomorrow.
You spent those years
living on time you borrowed.
And in your eyes, all I could see was sorrow.

Some of us will win, some of us will lose,
the strong will survive.
Some of us will fall,
some of us won't get out of here alive.
Blood of emeralds.
Blood of emeralds.
Blood of emeralds.
Blood of emeralds.
The deepest blood of emeralds.
Blood of emeralds.
The deepest blood of emeralds.

I know the reason
you turn your back
on things that you don't wanna hear.
I know this feelin'
I get from you
when you try to act so sincere.

But I don't know
what's making you behave this way.
I'm gonna go,
you never hear a word I say.
You better learn to

Take a little time
to show me that you care for me.
Take a little time
to show me you're still there for me.

I know the danger,
you're holding all the cards
because you think I'll wait.
You're like a stranger,
you better show your hand
before it gets too late.

But I don't know,
what's making you behave this way.
I'm gonna go,
I might as well just walk away.
If you don't learn to

Take a little time
to show me that you care for me.
You gotta take a little time
to show me you're still there for me.
You better take a little time
to show me what's been going on.
It's been like this for much too long.
Take a little time.

Don't hand me all these lines.
My eyes are open wide now.
Don't give me all your lies.
I'm gettin' much too wise for you.
Take a little time.

But I don't know,
what's making you behave this way.
You never hear a word I say.
I might as well just walk away.
If you don't learn to

Take a little time
to show me that you care for me.
You better take a little time
to show me you're still there for me.
You gotta take a little time
to show me what's been going on.
It's been like this for much too long.
Take a little time.

You gotta take a little time.
I'm tellin' you,
you gotta take a little

Take a little time.
Take a little time.
Take a little.
Take a little time.

You gotta take a little,
take a little,
you gotta take a little,
take a little time.

I'm tellin' you.
Take a little,
take a little time.

Take a little,
take a little time.

In every heart a story is told.
There's a way you can believe in forever.
In every life the story unfolds,
like a mystery for you to see
and tear away the mask.

Hold on to your dreams,
learn how to fly like angels.
Hold on to your dreams,
soaring above, wings of love.

In every tear a lesson to learn.
There's a way you can believe in forever.
Time never hears the reasons we give.
It just marches on until it's gone,
forever and a day.

Hold on to your dreams,
learn how to fly like angels.
Hold on to your dreams,
soaring above, wings of love.
...

Hold on to your dreams,
learn how to fly like angels.
Hold on to your dreams,
soaring above, wings of love.

Hold on to your dreams,
learn how to fly like angels.
Soaring high above,
wings made from love

to monn6pence from shootingstar

Take me out of here.
This place is gettin' much to small.
Make me disappear,
vanish through the nearest wall.

Give me one good reason why I should stay.
Give me one good reason to go on this way.
Give me one good reason why I should stay with you,
with you.

Take me out of here.
This place is closing in on me.
Make it disappear,
somewhere else I wanna be.

Give me one good reason why I should stay.
Give me one good reason to go on this way.
Give me one good reason why I should stay with you,
with you.
How, yeah.

Give me one good reason why I should stay.
Give me one good reason to go on this way.
Give me one good reason why I should stay with you,
with you, with you.

Take me out of here.

JOHNNY BOY

When I hear that wind blow,
all across the Wicklow mountains.
Is it you, I hear a calling.
Johnny boy, oh Johnny boy.

When I look to the west,
all across the River Shannon.
I can still see you smiling.
Johnny boy, oh Johnny boy.

When the leaves have turned to brown
and winter's due.
As I watch the sun goes down,
I'll think of you.

When I hear that wind blow,
all across the Wicklow mountains.
Sure it's you, I'll hear a calling.
Johnny boy, oh Johnny boy.

Used to be so easy
To give my heart away
But I found out the hard way
There's a price you have to pay
I found out that love
Was no friend of mine
I should have known
Time after time
So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you
Used to be so easy
To fall in love again
But I found out the hard way
It's a road that leads to pain
I found that love
Was more than just a game
You're playin' to win
But you lose just the same
So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you
So many years
Since I've seen your face
Here in my heart
There's an empty space
Where you used to be
So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you
Though the days come and go
There is one thing I know
I've still got the blues for you

So many times you tried to take the best of me.
So many times, now you're gonna take the rest of me.
Better look at what you're doing before it's too late.
It's a fine line you're treadin' between love and hate.
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.

So many times you tried to play a dead end game.
Yes, you did.
I tried to tell you, but you'd never wanna take the blame.
Now you've pushed me to the limit, and I can't take no more.
You'd better take one last look before I'm out the door.
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.

You never listened when I told you
that you were way out of line.
Too busy talkin' to listen,
accusing me of telling lies.

So many times you tried to get the best of me.
Yes, you did.
So many times, but now you're gonna take the rest of me.
Well, it's too late for sorry and it's too late for tears.
Better take one last look before I disappear.
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.

There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.
Yeah!

Oh, pretty woman
Sure's the rising sun.
Says all your cheap paint and powder
Ain't gonna help you none.

'Cause she's a pretty woman
Right down to her bone.
So you might as well
Leave your skin alone.

Pretty woman,
What's the matter with you?
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do.

Oh, pretty woman,
Whatcha gonna do?
You kept on foolin' around
Till I got stuck on you.

So you can drop your mess
And come down off your throne,
Stop using my poor heart
As just a stepping stone.

Pretty woman,
What's the matter with you?
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do.

Oh, pretty woman
That's all right for you.
Now you just go on doing
What you wanna do.

But someday when you think
That you've got it made,
You're gettin' water deep enough
So you can't wade.

Pretty woman,
What's the matter with you?
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do.

Oh, pretty woman.
Oh, pretty woman.
Oh, pretty woman.
Oh, pretty woman.
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do. No!

Can't make you love me
No matter what I do. No!
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do.

Oh, pretty woman,
I just can't make you love me.
Oh, no.

My baby she left me, my baby she's gone.
My sweet little angel has spread her wings and flown.
Can't think of a reason for going on.
From this day I will play the blues.

She said it was over, this time it's the end.
Bad luck and trouble gonna be my only friend.
I still can't believe it, after all we've been through.
Everyday I will play the blues.

Everybody knows what the blues is all about.
It's a pain you can't live with.
It's a woman you can't live without.
She came from Chicago.
She read me the news.
In the headlines was a story of the blues.

They say a broken heart can always mend.
Time is the healer and sadness will end.
But I've done so much crying, when will I laugh again?
Till that day I will play the blues.

Everybody knows what the blues is all about.
It's a pain you can't live with.
It's a woman you can't live without.
Could have cried me a river
when they told me the news.
On that day was a story of the blues.

SEPARATE WAYS
(Gary Moore)

What is it that you want from me?
I really wish I knew.
I try so hard to do my best,
but it's not good enough for you.
Over and over again
we will make the same mistakes.
Over and over again
there's a feelin' I just can't shake.

Is it time to go our separate ways?
Is it time to go our separate ways?

You know I need your love so bad.
Can't you see what you do to me?
I try so hard to understand,
but the truth's never plain to see.

Is it time to go our separate ways?
Is it time to go our separate ways?

Time after time we will try to understand.
I don't know where we went wrong,
but there's no use in holdin' on.

Over and over again
we will make the same mistakes.
Over and over again
and it's more than a man can take.

Is it time to go our separate ways?
Is it time to go our separate ways?

Is it time to go our separate ways?
Is it time to go our separate ways?

SINCE I MET YOU BABY
(Gary Moore)

I used to wake up in the morning with an aching head.
I couldn't remember anything I'd said.
My friends told me I was getting out of line.
If it wasn't for you baby, I'd be doing time.

Since I met you baby,
you've made a new man of me.
Since I met you baby,
I'm happy as a man could be.
Yes, I am.

I used to think I was better than the rest.
Ain't no doubt about it, I was no second best.
Didn't seem to matter what was right or what was wrong.
I did some crazy things before you came along.

Since I met you baby,
you've made a new man of me.
Since I met you baby,
I'm happy as a man could be.
Yes, I am.

Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby,
I'm happy as a man could be.
One more time!

Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Well, since I met you baby,
I'm happy as a man could be.
Yes, I am.

Happy as a man can be.
You tell 'em Gary!
Yeah!

My baby's gone and left me cryin' by myself
My baby's gone and left me cryin' by myself
I loved another woman, now I lost my best gal

She was a real good woman
Never done me no harm
Was a real good woman
Never done me no harm
I loved another woman
Now she's up and she's gone

Well, come back baby
I won't do you no wrong
Come back baby
I won't do you no wrong
I loved another woman
And I won't do that no more

Ever since you walked out
And left me with the blues.

I get angry, I get mad.
Think about before it turned so bad.
Ever since you walked out
And left me with the blues.

I never thought that it could end like this,
That you could treat me this way.
I never thought that I'd live to see
The day when you turn your back on me.

I just can't seem to think straight,
There's no way I can concentrate.
Ever since you walked out
And left me with the blues.
Play some blues.

I never thought that it could end like this,

A story all about the blues.

While I sing it to you.
Want you to hear me when I say

But she left me for someone else,
Left my heart in misery.
Yes, she did!
But I knew the day she left me
That the blues was gonna be a part of me.
Yes, it was.

Since you left me with the blues,
It was the last thing I thought I could use.
But I'm glad that you left me,
Left me with the blues.

Need someone's hand

to lead me through the night.

Need someone's arms

to hold and squeeze me tight.

'Cause when the night begins,

I'm at an end,

because I need your love so bad.





Need some lips

to feel next to mine.

Need someone to stand up

and tell me when I'm lyin'.

When the lights are low,

and it's time to go,

that's when I need your love so bad.





Why don't you give it up,

bring it on home to me,

or write it on a piece of paper, darlin',

so it can be read to me.

Tell me that you love me

and stop driving me mad,

beacause I, I need your love so bad.





Need your soft voice,

talk to me at night.

Don't want you to worry baby,

'cause I know we can make everything allright.

Listen to my plea baby,

bring it home to me,

because I need your love so bad

Time was running out for all on board,
soaring up through the shadows of night.
High above the clouds the engines roared,
this would be their final flight.

The russians have shot down a plane on its way to Korea.
Two hundred and sixtynine innocent victims have died.

Murder in the skies, came without a warning.
Murder in the skies, black September morning.
Murder in the skies.

Time was running out for everyone,
flying over the Sea of Japan.
None would live to see the rising sun,
death was following close at hand.

Murder in the skies, came without a warning.
Murder in the skies, black September morning.

Papa take a look at your boy,

Until that day when we die, I will love you mother.

Loneliness is your only friend
A broken heart that just won`t mend is the price you pay.
It`s hard to take when love grows old,
The days are long and the nights turn cold when it fades away.
You hope that she will change her mind
But the days drift on and on
You`ll never know the reason why she`s gone.
You see her face in every crowd,
You hear her voice but you`re still proud so you turn away.
You tell yourself that you will be strong,
But your heart tells you this time you`re wrong.
You hope that she will change her mind
But the days drift on and on
You`ll never know the reason why she`s gone.
Empty rooms where we learn to live without love
Empty rooms where we learn to live without love
Empty rooms where we learn to live without love
Oh no in an empty room
Loneliness is your only friend
Woo Oh she`s gone
And your happ`ning end

It doesn't matter
if you're wrong or if you're right.
it makes no difference
if you're black or if you're white.

All men are equal
till the victory is won.
No colour or religion
ever stopped the bullet from a gun.

Out in the fields.
The fighting has begun.
Out on the streets.
They're falling one by one.
Out from the skies.
A thousand more will die each day.
Death is just a heartbeat away.

It doesn't matter
if you're left or to the right.
Don't try to hide behind the cause,
they want to fight.

there'll be no prisoners taken
when the day is done.
No flag,no uniform
ever stopped the bullet from a gun.

Out in the fields.
The fighting has begun.
Out on the streets.
They're falling one by one.
Out from the skies.
A thousand more will die each day.
Death is just a heartbeat away.

There's no communication,
noone to take the blame.
The cries og every nation,
they're falling on deaf ears again.

Out in the fields.
Out in the fields.
they're falling one by one.
Out in the fields.
No flag has ever stopped
the bullet from a gun.

Death is just a hearbeat away.
Out in the fields.
A hearbeat away.
Out in the fields.
Death is just a heartbeat away.
Out in the fields.
A heartbeat away.
Out in the fields.

In the fields.
The fighting has begun.
Out on the street.
They're falling one by one.
Out form the skies.
A thousand more will die each day.

Listen to me woman
I just think it's a sin
I know you hear me knockin'
But you won't let me in
Might be fine for you
Just to keep me hangin' round
But if you don't open up this door
I'm gonna kick it down
Sometimes I feel like
I'm back on the streets again
Sometimes I feel like
There's nowhere to go
Sometimes I feel like
I'm back on the streets again
Listen
You've been telling me to short
For much too long
But now I'm gonna put you back
Where you belong
Might be fine for you
Just to keep me hangin' round
But if you don't open up this door
I'm gonna kick it down
Sometimes I feel like
I'm back on the streets again
Sometimes I feel like
There's nowhere to go
Sometimes I feel like
I'm back on the streets again
Sometimes it's the only place that I know
That I know
Sometimes I feel like
I'm back on the streets again
Sometimes I feel like
There's no place to go
Sometimes I feel like
I'm back on the streets again
Sometimes it's the only place that I know
Sometimes I feel like
I'm back on the streets again
Sometimes I feel like
There's no place to go
Sometimes I feel like
I'm back on the streets again
Sometimes it's the only place that I know
Only place that I know, yeah
Back to top

Oh, baby please stop messin' around.
You're messin' around with my heart.
Baby please stop messin' around.
You're messin' around with my heart.
And if you don't stop messin' baby,
pretty soon we're gonna have to part.


Oh, baby please stop messin' around.
You're messin' around all the time.
Baby please stop messin' around.
You're messin' around all the time.
And if you don't stop messin' baby,
you're gonna be someone elses baby, not mine.


Squeeze me baby till my face turn cherry red.
Roll me so hard, I'll fall right out of bed.
Please stop messin' around.
You're messin around all the time.
If you don't stop messin' baby,
you're gonna be someone elses baby, not mine.

Yeah!

So many times you tried to take the best of me.
So many times, now you're gonna take the rest of me.
Better look at what you're doing before it's too late.
It's a fine line you're treadin' between love and hate.
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.

So many times you tried to play a dead end game.
Yes, you did.
I tried to tell you, but you'd never wanna take the blame.
Now you've pushed me to the limit, and I can't take no more.
You'd better take one last look before I'm out the door.
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.

You never listened when I told you
that you were way out of line.
Too busy talkin' to listen,
accusing me of telling lies.

So many times you tried to get the best of me.
Yes, you did.
So many times, but now you're gonna take the rest of me.
Well, it's too late for sorry and it's too late for tears.
Better take one last look before I disappear.
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.

There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.
Yeah!

It's the darkest hour
of the darkest night.
It's a million miles
from the morning light.

Can't get no sleep.
Don't know what to do.
I've got those midnight blues.

When the shadows fall,
I feel the night closing in.
There must be some reason
for this mood I'm getting in.

Can't get no sleep.
Don't know what to do.
I've got those midnight blues.

Every evening after sundown,
as the light begins to fade.
I feel so low, but I just don't know
why these blues won't go away.

Every evening after sundown,
