Don Dokken

Dokken, Brown, Levin

I walk these streets they built with progress
I search for truth but found no well
And when the sun arises diamonds in the dawn
I look to you but found no one

Back to distant stars where I know you are
I wanna be back home again
To that sacred sun where the sky is warm
I'll be in your arms again

I'll save the last goodbye for you

Under the neon lights in darkness
I found a way to bring you home
I read the words I cannot see why they all follow
It's all just poison for their minds

An as I slip into the madness
The angel spirit cries for me

To that sacred sun where the sky is warm
I'll be in your arms again

I'll save the last goodbye for you

I played the fool it seems a thousand times before
When I got older thought I've learned my lesson well
Then you came into my life and brought me down
Another lesson towards my fate

I feel like I've been standin' on the sun
Your fire burned my soul like no ones ever done

You can say what you want but don't bring me down
If you want me to play in your garden
Then don't bring me down
Baby if you want my love
Then don't bring me down

Your hyperstatic conversation till the dawn
It makes me tired but I see it turns you on
A tense relationship was all you've ever known
I tried to play but now it cuts me to the bone

I look into your eyes a thousand years away
For my compassion all I got was tears
I feel like I've been standing on the sun
Your fire burned my soul like no one's ever done

Dokken, Brown, Levin

Turn the lights down low there's nobody home
I've been watchin' for hours the clock on the wall
Seems the hands are frozen they don't move at all
Then the silence breaks as you walk through the door
On an on an on somewhere I don't belong
I'm all out of reasons to stay so I won't
On an on an onit won't leave me alone
Wish that you could remember the time when I said

I can't wait any longer to love you
Turns my reflection away from the day
I can't stand when you're so indecisive
Make up your mind so I can escape

When I hold you close there's nobody home
I can hear every heartbeat whisper and woe
Turn me on with your eyes as I smile right on cue
You rehearse everything that you say an you do
On an on an on you and I don't belong
There's no reason to stay anymore so I won't
On an on an on something's terribly wrong
Wish that you could remember the time that we said

I waited so long I'm going to the otherside
I'm losing my mind over you
I've been watchin' for hours the clock on the wall
Seems the hands are frozen they don't move at all

Dokken, Brown, Levin

Said you were Sophia
Should have known you by another name
I tried to be a believer babe
But I sank down in your shame
Livin' on the east side I was in the west
I tried to bring my love to you
But you trashed me like the rest

I've been haunted by your love
You gave me heartbreak

Tried to be your lover tried to be your friend
Tried to take your pain away
Would have loved you to the end
But their ain't no use in cryin'
I will get along
Hope you find your happiness
In your misery and woe

And I hope you're cryin' all alone
You left me haunted by your love
Haunted

And when you wake you find you're still alone
Drownin' in your tears
Will you see what you have done
When the love I had for you is gone

Safer today to go outside your window
Go down the stairs
You remember the way
New combinations you found in your letter
Ready to fly and escape

You're off the meds and bad tranquilizers
Keeping it down isn't your style of fun
Taking a walk in the park by the children
All that you want is a smile

Everybody's getting high today
Go on and alter your mind
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away

Let it go, let it go, there's no reason to stay

All that you want is some peace in the sunshine
Far from the freaks who are on
Staring at TV alone with no sunsets
Time for your oranges and blues
You're off the meds and the bad tranquilizers
Keeping you down isn't your style of fun
Taking a walk in the park by the children
All that you want is a smile

Everybody's getting high today
Go on and alter your mind
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away

Ellexor, Jack Daniels, Jim Beam…)

Everybody's getting high today
Go on and alter your mind

So when they lock you again
In a white room
Holding you down
Antiseptic your fate
You don't belong in a place
Where they talk to themselves
It's just hell

Let it go, let it go, let it
Fade away

All you want is a smile

Let it go, let it go, let it
Fade away

Fade away

Fade away

As I walked along the beach last night
Tried to find myself and get it right
If you saw the changes in my eyes
Riding on the wind you know it cries
When you need some one
It's hard to let them go
When you know that their the one
When you feel your hope is gone
Know that I still care for you
Even thoe your gone
I taste your tears
You think it would have passed
After all these years
Thoe you find away
Every night I think of you
I hope your sleeping well
When you need some one
When your hearts alone
When you feel your hope si gone
Know that I still care for you
When I feel you close to me
Even thoe it's just a dream
Please forgive that I still care
When your lonliness is there
I still think of you
Care for you
Waiting for
After all this time has gone
I still feel you in my arms
And when you need some one
Know that I still care for you
As I walked along the beach last night
Tried to find my self and get it right
If you saw the changes in my eyes
Would you come back

But can I find my way to you?
We've got this everywhere
It's hard to see it through
Time wither like my fingers
I've given everything and more

I can't go on with it in mind
But now we're wrong and out of time
Into your mind
Yes, you'll find
That we were better off before

The sands of time have closed the door
We were better off before
No chance to find a way down
Yes, we were better off before

Time crushing all my soul
A faded picture left of me
Upon the wall
Pain now my only friend
When shadows fall I will remember

The sands of time have closed the door
And left us broken evermore
No chance to find a way down
Yes, we were better off before

(Guitar Solo)

I can't go on with it in mind
But now we're wrong and out of time
Into your mind
Yes, you'll find
That we were better off before

The sands of time have closed the door
We were better off before
No chance to find a way down
Yes, we were better off before

The sands of time have closed the door
And left us broken evermore
No chance to find a way down
Yes, we were better off before

You were the one on the trigger
Deciding the fate of us all
Testing my fate in religion
Tryin to make sense of it all
All hope was lost, I found reason
To look in your eyes and find something

The promise you gave was that you'd remain,
Not leave me here and go missin
I've been the one in the shadows
Watching your life through a window
When you open your eyes and feel me inside you
why would you leave me for others

Wait for me, I'll come for you
Wait for me, can't you see I'm still sad
I'm still I'm sad
All hope was lost, I found reason
To look in your eyes and find something
It's was like two days apart
From the truth
Was my soul the piece you been missin

You've got the gun pull the trigger
Strait to the heart of the matter
If it's all been in vain why do I remain
Watchin you leave me for others

Wait for me, I'll come for you
Wait for me, this day is not through
Wait for me, it's about time were through
Wait for me, can't you see I'm still sad
Still I'm sad

Wait for me, I'll come for you
Wait for me, this day is not through
Wait for me, it's about time we through
Wait for me, can't you see I'm still sad
Still I'm sad

Still I'm sad

Still I'm sad

Still I'm sad

Watch your life through your window
Shadows fall
As the darkness falls to gray

Leave me here alone.
Lying in the burning sun.
This world has bleached my bones.
I should have taken your advice.

Lying all alone.
Lost to all my memories.
Feeling like a stone.
As the sky above me starts to weep.

The desert falls.
In my mind an endless sea.
I will never know.
What was and that will never be.

Deep within this hole.
Flowers lying on my bed.
Softly as you speak.
Telling me that you've been sad.

Leave me here alone.
Cause I won't be coming back again.
The moments that we own.
Lie scattered in the sand.

I surrender. Surrender
All my love for you.
Please remember. Remember babe.
I'll be there for you.

Leave me here alone.
Cause I won't be coming back again.
The moments that we own.
Lie broken in the hands of time.

I surrender. I Surrender.
All my love for you.
Please remember.Remember.
I'll be there for you.

I surrender. Surrender.
All my love for you.
Please remember.Remember babe.
I'll be there for you.
For you.

Dokken, Levin, Keeling

Mother dear I've got to go
Find my way out in the world
Somethin's callin' me and I can't stay
As the leaves are fallin' down
Soon the snow upon the ground
Hope you'll understand why I can't stay

Waiting for the sun
When I start to run
Waiting for.......

Though I'm young not quite a man
I'll try and do the best I can
Duty calls my friends are all aboard
Feel the wind across my face
Standing ready all in place
On the trigger I'll become a man

Waiting for the sun

See the people falling down
Crimson colors all around
Tryin' to make it to the higher ground

Mother dear I had to go
Find my way out in the world
Sorry but I won't be coming home

Waiting for the sun

It's not hard to believe
That the world isn't real
When the sun doesn't shine in your eyes
All the time
It's not hard to concede
As we cry and we bleed everyday
We just won't leave
Feel your heart stop
Still alive but you're not
So you scream that you've had enough,
Done enough, said enough

See the reflections of lives that you've changed
As you look in the mirror and try to believe
It's been hard that I know
But I could have told you so
You reap what you sow

Can you see
In my face
All these tears I saved for you
Can you see
It's not right
That our love was never real

Is it right to hold on to the words that we spoke
Even though now that feeling is gone in your eyes
It's been hard to let you go
Even though you found someone new
Everyday
It's been hard to find
With no peace of mind

Can you see......

As I walked along the beach last night
Tried to find myself and get it right
If you saw the changes in my eyes
Riding on the wind you know it cries
When you need some one
It's hard to let them go
When you know that their the one
When you feel your hope is gone
Know that I still care for you
Even thoe your gone
I taste your tears
You think it would have passed
After all these years
Thoe you find away
Every night I think of you
I hope your sleeping well
When you need some one
When your hearts alone
When you feel your hope si gone
Know that I still care for you
When I feel you close to me
Even thoe it's just a dream
Please forgive that I still care
When your lonliness is there
I still think of you
Care for you
Waiting for
After all this time has gone
I still feel you in my arms
And when you need some one
Know that I still care for you
As I walked along the beach last night
Tried to find my self and get it right
If you saw the changes in my eyes
Would you come back

Just like sand running through my hands
We tried to hold love but it just slipped away
Was I so wrong to keep you holding on
Hoping someday that we would find a way...to make love stay

CHORUS:

There's nothing left to say
As I send these words a thousand miles away
Still holding on to the memories
Lost in your heart, blinded by love, you said
If we had known, we could have found a way
Is it too late to bring you back to me, to me again

CHORUS

SOLO

BRIDGE

Lost in our hearts
We'll be forever yearning
Tears in our eyes
Start to fall, just like rain
Only for you

CHORUS OUT

(White, Norum, Dokken)

Take me back, to a time I remeber well
It's a fact, when your near
You know we could stop the world
If I'm wrong, then alright
You know it doesn't matter now
In my heart, you are mine
You know we're gonna make it somehow
You know we're gonna make it somehow

I can be anything, just for you I can make it right
Fortunes told in love's hearts, it doesn't have
to keep us apart
I'm a soldier of fotune, fighting for a means to an end
If there's love in you eyes, it's only
gonna take one night
Yeahm, say it's not over and remember

IST CHORUS:
When some night you are lonely
You just call out my name
I will make you mine only
Make you mine only again

On the wings of a tear
You know we could ride the storm
Like desire, I was born
To give you everything and more
If you're a soldier of fortune
Fighting for a means to an end
If there's love in your eyes
It's plainer than the world we share
Yeah, say it's not over and remember

2ND CHORUS:
When some nights you are lonely
You just call out my name
And I'll be there beside you
And I'll Make you mine only

When some night you are lonely
You just call out my name
I will make you mine only
Make you mine only again

Hold on to what you have
And not what you think is yours
Too many people stand there
Blinded by the Light, They don't see.

SOLO

Take me back to a time I remeber well
It's a fact, when you're near
You know we could stop the world

2ND CHORUS
When some nights you are lonely
You just call out my name
And I'll be there beside you
And I'll Make you mine only

When some night you are lonely
You just call out my name
I will make you mine only
Make you mine only again

(Dokken, Davis)


Searching for answers
I found one
Looking for roses
But the season is gone

I see the eyes of a stranger
I don't know you anymore
I know my heart is in danger
Lost in you just like before

Searching for reasons
One more time
As we turn back the pages
Who said love isn't blind?

As I reached out for heaven
You were all I could see
You told me "Try to imagine...
Forever...just you and me"

IST CHORUS:

It was the word that you said
That took you into my heart
It was the workd you said
Forever....
Lost in the sea...of my memories
Whispered emotions, passions unbared
In the heat of the moment
So many things that we said

You found the end of my sadness
You buried all of my pain
Now love's turned into madness
Echoes are all that remain

2ND CHORUS:
It was the word that you said
That took you into my heart
It was the tears that we shed
Forever....Lost in the sea

1ST CHORUS:
Just memories...forever lost just like me
2ND CHORUS
IST CHORUS

Does it seem that we're going nowhere again
Can it be that love has passed us by the way
Can't sy that we played the game so well
Are we to a point where time stands still
Nothing can save us now

If you only want to believe in fairy tales and dreams
If i'm not what you're looking for set me free

Chorus:
Living a lie, now that your love has run
Living a lie, now that you've come and gone

It's sad to think what we have wasted
Over and over trying to make you see
Feelings are not something you can play with
Maybe once, but never twice
Better listen to my advice

If your gonna belive in someone who still cares for you
If your wanna believe in fantasies say we're through

In my darkness i will find the light
Lone survivor, someone to save me
When i look back i think of all the years
Wasted on your love...it's over now

So if you wanna beleive in someone who still cares for you
If your wanna believe in fantasies say we're through

Chorus

Living a lie
Living a lie
Living a lie

(Dokken, Hughes)


I could've told you
All these tears, what good to they do
All these years my life's been living
It's a shame you've not been giving

So tell me what to do
And I'll be there for you, only for you

CHORUS:

When love finds a fool like me, it doesn't see
When love finds a fool, baby, like me
I could've been the one

Sad empty faces look to my eyes
They seem to know me
I can take the rejection
All I need is your affection

I should've ssen it coming
You should've said 'goodbye'
I guess you were right

CHORUS
SOLO
CHORUS

(Dokken, White)


In one man's mind, we could have anything
In one man's life, we could lose everything

Look to the sky to what the future would bring to me
'Cause when it's all said and done
Who's gonna put away the gun

So give it up
Stop all you fighting, yeah, yeah,
So, give it up
It's my world
We're dancing with destruction

Just one more chance knocks opportunity
But it won't wait if we don't find the key

Listen to me, I've had enough of the sorrow and pain
'Cause when it's all said and done
Who's gonna put away the gun

So give it up
Stop all you fighting, yeah, yeah,
So, give it up
It's my world
Are we too blind to see (Don't fuck it up for me)

(Dokken, White, Spiro)


Look inside my eyes
You can see everywhere I've been
You can drag me down, I'll come right back again.

You gotta hold on to every little thing
Every little bag of bones
When the love's gone you shoot from the hip
You make or break it on your own
Love takes your heart away and gives it back in pieces
I look at myself and say Now all I have to say)
(is)'I know who to believe in'

CHORUS:
Mirror, mirror on the wall
I'm still here, I survived it all
Mirror, mirror, tell me more.
If that was love then love is war.

I am gonna fight until I win
Another place in time, I might have given in

CHORUS
